Do ■ - 37V- 75 ' f- HON. MYRON CARLETON LOUGH. 184838 Myron Carleton Lough The man to whom we have dedicated the front pages of this volume of The Mound was born on a farm in Barbour county, June 25, 1870. His early years were spent in much the same way as the other boys of his neighborhood spent theirs, dividing the year into four months of school and eight months of work and play. Until his sixteenth year, lie received his educa- tional training in the rural schools, but during this year he attended a summer school. The next year, at seventeen, he began teaching, taking the examination under the older law which required an average of 87% per cent, to obtain a No. 1 grade certificate. At this examination he lacked less than one per cent, to obtain a No. 1, but the next year, at eighteen, he led the teacher ' s county examination with an average of 9714 per cent. In the summer of 1891, before he was 21 years old. he received the nomination for County Superintendent of Public Schools of Barbour county, and was elected. His 21st birthday occurred, however, six days before he- was required to take the oath of office, and so he was permitted to serve. Serving his term as County Superintendent, he entered the Seminary at Buckhannon in 1891, gradu- ating in four years, and also doing some post-graduate work. While at the Seminary he had the honor of par- ticipating in more school engagements than any other student; entertainments, class programs, and three debating contests, taking first place in two of them. Following his graduation at Buckhannon, he spent a year at Dennison University, at Granville, Ohio. His reputation as a public speaker and debater went with him. and in his Freshman year he entered into a con- test against a Senior from another State. The West Virginia boy won. The prize consisted of forty dollars. and was a most welcome visitor to the young student. It very materially aided him in completing his year at Dennison. In 1896, when he purchased a half interest in the Philippi Republican, he made his start in the news paper world, in the fall of the same year, while still managing the paper, he was elected as principal of the Belington public school. From there, in the fall of 1897, he came to the Fairmont State Normal as teacher, remaining at that institution for six years. In his second year at the Normal he was advanced to the posi- tion of assistant principal, and at the death of Prin- cipal M. M. Boss, finished the school year as a most successful principal. During his stay as a teacher in the Fairmont State Normal he was granted a short leave of absence to attend the University at Morgan- town, taking his A. B. and A. M. degrees from that institution. Leaving the Fairmont Normal, he was appointed to the prinripalship of the Normal at West Liberty, but for business reasons could not accept. In 1904, the Daily West Virginian Publishing Company was organized, and Mr. Lough was made city editor, and in 1900 was advanced to the position of editor-in-chief. He was appointed as Regent in 1907 lo succeed .fudge Frank Nesbitt, and at the next meet- ing of the Board was elected Secretary. Through all his term so far served, he has made an active, con- scientious member. Mr. Lough ' s service and aid in helping on the recent favorable legislation with regard to West Virginia ' s schools must not be overlooked. One of the most interested and active workers for this legislation was no other than M. C. Lough. In conclusion, Mr. Lough has made his way along the path of life by his own efforts and abilities. Lie has been watched and patterned after by young men from all over his county and State because of his fidelity to the schools of our State, so we can truth- fully call him the friend of West Virginia ' s schools.

R ' s. i SENIOR HISTORY In the beginning was a lot of Freshmen, and these were without organization and knowledge, and deep seated ignorance was niton their faces. And the spirit of the Faculty moved among them. And the Faculty said, Let them be promoted, and some were promoted. And the Faculty saw these few, that they were deserv- ing, and they divided the deserving from the undeserv- ing. And the first of these were called the class of 11)08. And this was the evening of the first day. And the Faculty said, All ye both great and small may partake of the tree of knowledge. And the class of 1908 partook of the tree of knowledge, and they grew in wisdom and in the favor of the Faculty. And the Faculty said, Let there he lights in the school and let them be for an example and an inspiration to those who shall come here in future years. And there was one great light and there were also lesser lights. And by this one great light were begun all new things in the Normal, and without it were not any new things begun that were begun. And this great light was called the class of 1008. And this was the second day. And it came to pass in the time of our Junior servitude that we made a great banquet, and with us sat the Seniors and the Faculty, and tlie Seniors and the Faculty were loud in their praises for us, and they said surely this .Junior class has done a good work; for this is the tirst time a Senior class has been so well received by the Juniors. And the Faculty now saw the class of 1908, that it was good. And this was the evening of the third day. And (he Sophomores and the Preps also saw the (lass of 1008, how it grew in the favor of the Faculty, and they knew not why. And they go about saying they are thankful not to be like unto others, and that they study four and a half hours as prescribed by the Dormitory laws. They also wear much ribbons and blow tin horns, and still they attract little attention. But the class of 1908 stands afar off and says, O, Ye of the Faculty, see what we are worth. And lo! The Faculty have said he that boasts of himself shall not grow in the favor of the Faculty; but he that doeth much work as the class of 1908 doeth shall grow in our favor. And the Sophs began to murmur and said, But see our many ribbons and hear our tin horns. But the Faculty said, We are worthy to judge thee, for Sve are much more elder than our looks. ' ' And this was late the third day. In the morning of the fourth day the fame of the class of 1908 went throughout the Normal, and they were called Seniors, and a great multitude of under graduates came unto them ; and seeing the multitude they went out onto the mound, and they were com- passed about with those seeking knowledge. And when they were set the class of 100S opened their mouths and taught them, saying: Hear, O ye Preps, the instruc- tion of the class of 1908 and profit thereby. For now you are Preps you must speak as Preps, think as Preps, and understand as Preps ; but when you grow into Sen- iors you may put away prepish things. For verily I say unto you, it is written that you must pony or flunk, and the greatest of these is flunk. Happy is the Fresh man when he walketh not in the counsel of the Junior. His ideal is in the Senior. For whatsoever we Seniors do is approved by the Faculty. Verily, the Faculty see our worth. And it also came to pass in the fourth day that a voice as of one crying in the wilderness spake unto the Senior class and the voice said, ' v Lo, all things that have came to pass in the Normal are fading away and perishing from the memories and traditions of our peo- ple. Wherefore I command that ye bear witness of your illustrious deeds, that all may know them. And the Senior Class hath made a record of their own deeds and of the deeds of all the school. And they have called this record The Mound. And now therefore when the Faculty had seen all these works of the class of 1008 they saw that it was good. And they said, Happy art thou, O Seniors! O Class of 100S ! And at the close of this the fourth day the class of 1908 Avas graduated and the Faculty rested. VIEWS OF THE SENIORS ' Kiss me. Bill Redic. ' I ' m married now. Frank Smith.

When Virgil was inspired to write his immortal Aeneid, when Milton resolved to give to the world ' ' Paradise Lost, when Shakespeare planned a Ham- let or Macheth, no nobler task lay before them than to write a history of this, the Junior class of naughty- eight. Language has not the power to express in these few words a true, complete, and exhaustive account of our handicaps and achievements. Only a few years have passed since we entered this school, timidly inarching to some Freshman strain. But in spite of this short time, and the terrible weed- ing out process to which we have been subjected, we now remain the survival of the fittest, and rank second in name, but first in fame, to any class in school. The Freshies look upon us as monsters, the Sophs shrink from our presence in horror, even the members of the Faculty see our greatness, and feel like minus quantities in our company. The difficulties which disheartened others have only spurred us on. We have fearlessly entered our classes in German, Latin, and Math, and have come out conquerors, leaving all the sissies and faint-hearts behind. Indeed, so sterling has been our worth, that even some of the Seniors have joined us. ' When our class was organized, the other insignifi- cant students and Faculty ridiculed us and ' tis said they even had whisperings about the young unidenti- fied. But we contiimed to grow in several propor- tions. When Ave selected our colors, the great dry goods stores of Chicago, New York and London all were using Old Rose and Silver Gray for decorations, and de- clared that this was the best combination of colors available. The Arbor Day exercises were, in the main, con- ducted by us, and thruout the entire year we were the second wit of the Faculty on all matters of importance. At Commencement, while the Senior, with pale countenance and hammering heart, told to the world the value of an education, it was the Juniors, with their pretty faces and noble bearings that carried away the laurels of the day. In literary fields, when any one is asked who does the best work, the immediate answer is the Juniors. ' Who can look into the faces of our fair girls with- out being reminded of angels, not as a child is, in his dreams of fairies, bu1 as of women, symbols of truth, purity, and over-flowing love. Fancy a grander sight than our handsome hoys, as they amble along the streets, or are seen symmetrically performing the tricks in the (iym and on the athletic held. In this history, we do not want to lay claims to im- mortality, but we do want to eulogize that which is grandest and best of all organizations of our Alma Mater. Since we are so unfortunate as to have no prophets in our class, Ave cannot forecast our coming years, but we do feel confident that, judging the future by the past, we will reach our Senior year and graduate, not as other classes have done, to sink from sight to rise no more; but to grow and continue to grow, till w( reach heights heretofore considered unattainable by man, and forever-more be called the best product of out Fairmont Normal. Freshman, Sophomores, Seniors too, We do! Hoodoo! Hoodoo you! Boomaling! Boomaling! Clear the line! We are the class of 1! 0! . — Historians, SOPHOMORE President -------- John Toothman Vice President - - - - - - • - - J, L.

But since this class has made such an extraordinary record it would require the united efforts of the professors of both English and Mathematics to record rightly the progressions of the infinite series of its brilli ant achievements. The venerable Normal professors early recognized the fact that the class of ' 10 contained the best talent of West Virginia, most of them coming directly from the rural districts. Owing to this fact, when the class entered the school in the fall of ' 06, it was of an extremely seedy appearance as genera ly characterizes the Freshmen classes of the Fairmont Normal. But the seeds were soon brushed off their backs by coming in contact with the culture of the school. Quite soon the Seniors and Juniors, who at first treated the class rather coldly, began to associate with them and they are now held in the very highest esteem. by all classes. The Sophomore class has been an inspiration along many lines and has taught not only the school authori- ties, but the students of other classes many things that they should know. When school opened in September, ' 07, the new professors soon recognized our worth, and the old ones were delighted to find all the class back; they knew that the wheels of progress would still move on properly. On the last week of the Winter term, ' 08, the class met for reorganization — to examine carefully and to strengthen if necessary any weak places that might be discovered in the foundation, so carefully constructed last year. A very efficient set of officers was carefululy chosen. But just as it came time for electing the class historian, there was a slight noise heard at the door, which was interpreted to be the usual Freshman interruption. The class was so anxious to get out and teach those Freshies the proper respect to be shown toward a dignified Sopho- more meeting, that the historian was chosen without proper consideration. The members of the Freshman class, learning of the Sophomore ' s organization, thought that they must follow suit, by organizing too. At the first meeting there was a complete failure, owing to the fact that none of their members seemed to know enough to direct an election. After calling another meeting they succeeded in completing the election. Still it would have been a failure, had not the Sophomore class in its usual manner came to the rescue, and assisted them in the work. The Freshmen were so well pleased, and felt so grateful towards their helpers, that they fell upon their knees ( ?) and gave proper recognition to the powers that be, for the timely assistance rendered them in need. The presi- dent of the Normal with the help of the Sophomore class has succeeded in overcoming some of the bad cus- toms of the school. New students think that our ways are pretty hard ones, by us never talking to them in the chapel or library. The Sophomore class has plans in mind for con- tinuing the good work the next two years. Before it leaves the Normal in ' 10 it will no doubt be recognized as the class First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of its fellow-students. — Historian. FRESHMEN President - - H.

FRESHMEN HISTORY Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them, but it was not the happy lot of the Freshman class of the F. S. X. S. to be born with the proverbial silver spoon in its mouth ; neither have its worthy members been over powered by the great honor and recognition they have so richly deserved. To them has not been accorded the triumph of a Caeser for fields far more gloriously won. Our work at the F. S. N. S. has been extremely gratifying — to ourselves — and if it has not pleased the Faculty it is because they are incompetent to recognize greatness in others. The Sophomores have been compelled to confess that we have accomplished more in one year than they have in two, for we profited by some of their sad exper- iences and early learned that the horse is a vain thing for safety, and although we have trodden strange and devious ways and fought fierce battles, all our victories have been walk-overs. Although the Juniors and Seniors attempt to ignore us and look down from their assumed heights in fine scorn, verily pride goeth before a fall, for some of them have been heard repeating the Latin verb . flunco, iluncere, faculty, fire ' em, and no Freshman has ever found need for that verb in his translations. The ( M ) mercerized fabric of our lives has often been bathed in tears, but we console ourselves by think- ing life would be a barren waste without some show- ers, and that through difficulties great heights arc reached and kept. The members of our class have already done more to advance education than any class that ever matric- ulated here, and we feel sure that by the time we com- plete our reforms, the F. S. X. S. will rank among the leading colleges of the United States. So we think that careers thus begun here, will one day rise in the lap of our dear old country, and assert- ing their rights by means of such guidance as the influence of our president and other worthy members of our Faculty, place a large and powerful firecracker under the nose of Fame, that bursting the awful still- ness, will jar the empires of the earth and blow the unblown noses of future kings and princes. — Historian.

This association is one of the new things of the school but promises to become one of the strongest factors in the school within a few years. The princi- ple object of this organization is to help those of the students who are deserving and are in need of aid of any sort. This purely unselfish motive is in strong contrast to the objects of the oilier organizations of the school. The Student Body Association aims to help the new students first of all by finding them suitable rooms and lodging places, then by helping them to get acquainted with the school, the students and their sur- roundings here. Then if any of the students finds him- self in strained circumstances and in need of money on short notice he can by presenting some security from the school borrow- money for the time he feels lie will need it without interest from (he association. The association is made up of all the regularly enrolled students of the school. A small due is col- lected from the students at the opening of the terms to aid in the workings of the association, other methods are then employed to raise money to swell the fund for the aid and support of worthy but needy students of the school. Towards this end lectures, plays and various entertainments of the better sort are given by the association and the profits devoted to the fund for the relief of the needv. The association is not yet a year old but already a considerable fund has been raised for the general emergency fund to be used for the aid of those asking for support. Already also this fund has been called upon and several loans have been made. The loans are managed in this fashion: At the regular election of the officers of the association an executive committee consisting of five members is also elected. This com- mittee has charge of the money to be used for the emergency fund. When a student, or another school organization, as has been the case, wants to borrow a sum of money from the fund the person or persons see the chairman of the association. He hears the case and if it appears to be one worthy of aid he states to the one desiring aid that he will grant the loan if security is given. The person then makes out a note and easily gets two of the responsible students to go on the note. He then presents Hie note to the chairman, who gives him an order on the treasurer for the amount. Thus it often happens that by a little timely aid from this association a good hard -working student will be enabled to remain in school a term longer than he would otherwise be. Many other things are taken up about the school that are qf interest to the general welfare of the school, yet pertaining to no particular body of the students. The student body will, through its officers, take up such things and do what will be best for the school in the matter. So if judged by its usefulness to the school, its aid and help for others and its general effect upon the school life it seems that the Student Body Association is one of the most important factors in the student life of the school. In many colleges and schools where a like organi- zation is supported philanthropic and interested grad- uates of the school as well as others who are friends of the institution have donated certain amounts of money to establish some particular fund for the relief of some part of the school. This fund is usually called after the donator and the interest on the fund is applied to the specified end, or if the fund is for the general emer- gency fund the money itself is loaned to he returned later. Along this line in the Fairmont Normal there is plenty Of room for such donations. Xo one desiring to aid the school need feel thai there is no place for him to put his money. And if any one does desire to make such a donation but is doubtful as to where he can place the money, in what department it will do the most good, let him communicate with any officer of the association and he will receive information that will cause him to wish that he could establish half a dozen different funds instead of thinking that there is no need for one.

EDITORIAL Beaten into a jelly by knocks, and made porous by stings thrust deeply in, we are nevertheless able, smil- ingly. To present To yon the copy of The TivsT volume Of The Mound. For months we have not drawn a sober breath; they have all been sleepless nights. We have worked. Our hands, ome adorned by fat, plump fingers, are now attached To a set of claw-like hooks, called fingers by courtesy; our arms, once a bunch of several pounds, now but a streak of shadows; our experience, much im- proved, lint so weak by hard work Thai we can ! make use of it; our intelligence, a sadder but wiser ' man ' . Yet we would he glad to Suffer it all over again for the pleasure There is in iT. Our advice To our suc- cessors would be. Without work yon can build no Mound. We think we are most happy in The selecTion of our name. The Mound. SiTnaTed near the center of The campus is The HisToric .Mound, upon which grows a stately sycamore tree, in which birds of days gone by have been born, reared, edncaTed and graduated into the knowledge and mysteries id ' life. Nexl To the record of the school itself. The Mound is The most famous adjunct to the school, and its name- sake. The Mound of ' 08, bids fair to keep pace with it. The Mound Builders were selected from the ranks of the Senior class, who wiTli as much skill and knowl- edge possible for pioneers To have, have gone ahead, worked hard, finished Their work. We think, without boasting. Too. we have given you ;i book, well worth the price of admission. We are not selfish, however. but we want The class of ? 09 To put out a better volume. Let the advancement of The Mound be in keeping with The advancement of The school. With this view in mind we leave you our pens, remnants of ink and paper, our well wishes, and the support of our supporters. In a word for The Mound Builders themselves, Ave can say that they have all worked hard and earnestly, and iT is mainly Through their assistance that The Mound is. The Mound itself is great. Its praise, even in These earlv days of volume one. are already heard sung throughout the State. We are glad for This, for in our modesty we think That iT is worth it. The position for The Mound is the place of honor in your library. We ask only for a fair show, a square deal, and an unprejudiced hearing. We know that we have it. To all who have in any way assisted in making The Mound a success we extend Thanks and besT wishes. The Editor. BUSINESS MEETING THE MOUND BUILDERS. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION • Vice President - - R.

The snn was just sinking behind the western cliffs, and its last rays. Hooding the sky with a golden light, crept silently through the pines and laurel to the river and turned the water into a mass of shimmering drops which glittered, gleamed, danced and kissed each other, like mountain elves at play. For some time the snn lingered on Hie horizon as if loth to depart from the scene of majestic rug- gedness softened and subdued by the peaceful little vil- lage. Finally, however, the shadows of the river deep- ened, the waters grew quiet, and the snn pressed a good-night kiss on the rugged brow of the cliff and slipped from sight, leaving hills, valleys and town bathed in purple haze, which tilled the air with such peace and quietness, as though it were a benediction from l In- lips of tod. I town a narrow path winding in and out among the hills came a girl, her arms ladened with laurel and wild roses. With lightness and agility she climbed over dangerous passes, holding fast to her flowers, and with the snre-footedness of a deer made her perilous descent to the river. Behind walking moodily along came a young man whose occasional proffers of assist- ance met a disda inful refusal. Reaching the river she turned suddenly to the young man who, standing with his hands in his pockets, gazing gloomily across the peaceful waters awaited the outburst of passionate remonstrance. So yon have dared to follow me again, dared to follow me when I told you never to speak to me again. T tell you I hate you, hate you, hate you, and the more you persist the more I hate you. Her slender young body quivered with emotion, her whole form shook with uncontrolled passion, and it took but a glance into her angry black eyes to see this goddess of the hills had a temper of her own. Angry crimson dyed her cheeks and her scarlet lips drew themselves together in a slender line of red. The man was evidently not unused to such words for his countenance did not change, except that the anxious troubled look settled deeper in it. Nell, he said gently, you know 1 will never trouble you again with my love, at least never until you show me some sign that yon wish to be troubled ; lint yon must know it is dangerous for you to travel these hills alone. You know that somewhere in these hills Fred Dimmon holds his nightly orgies and brews his mountain dew; you know your father as superintendent of the mines has sworn to wipe this band from the face of the earth, and yon know that in return Fred has sworn to destroy your father and all belonging to him. Nell, oh Nell, will you persist in taking these walks when you know that every inch of the way threatens you with death? ' ' Of course I know all these things, why then is it necessary for you to tell me? As for my taking these walks, I have three reasons: First, because I want to; second, because you don ' t want me to; and third, be- cause I hope to meet the young chief of the moon- shiners. Who knows, 1 might love him; I, the daugh- ter of John Hess, the great mine owner, might love Fred Dimnion, out-law and moonshiner, she said laughingly as the young man winced at her words. Anyway, she added, why should I be afraid, since I have so brave a guardian to dog my steps wherever 1 go. I tell you I am not afraid of the whole crew, not half so afraid, as I hale you, and if you do not let me be 1 will shoot you,. (Jo back to your office, Dick; you know I can ' t love you, and I can ' t help it; so your per- sistence has only the effect of making me angry. Go, I tell you! Don ' t wait! I will come when I get ready. I am going to sit here on the bank and watch the twilight come. Perhaps, she said sneer- ingly, you had better send over a body of armed men to watch me. She sat down on the bank and turning her back to the young man began to arrange her flowers as if she were totally obvious to his presence. The man stepped into a boat, pushed it from the shore. Good-night, Nell, he said gently; but silence was the only answer. Since there was nothing else to do he silently made for the other shore. It was nearly dusk now. Over the cliffs where the sun had disappeared hung the evening star in the pur- ple sky, and the crescent moon passed close to the hori- zon lighting the pines on the cliff with a dim musty light. On the bosom of the river the moon and stars mirrowed themselves; from the hills back of the girl came the breath of the pine trees and locust blossoms. A whip-poor-will sounded its lonely notes and the girl shivered as she thought of the legend of birds being lost souls forced to wander on earth and cry I ill I hey found their Creator. Suddenly at the right of the girl there sounded a gentle crash in the laurel thicket. Turning quickly, she gazed long and without flinching into the dare- devil eyes of Fred Dimmon. The young outlaw stood in the moon light, his black curls flung hack from his white brow, his white teeth gleaming, and his defiant eyes fixed with a tender yet masterful look on the equally defiant eyes of the girl. The girl sprang to her feet, but the outlaw was to quick for her. In an instant he held the girl in his arms and kissed her lips. Holding her fast in his arms the moonshiner started up the hill. For a moment the girl made no resistance; but only for a moment, then her dazed senses returning she struggled and tried to scream. But the strong white hand of the outlaw lay on her lips. Hush dearest, he said with his silvery moun- tain accent. Did I not hear you say you might love me? I tell you you will love me and tonight in my home we will celebrate our wedding. 1 have watched you, little girl, every evening. Watched and waited for this opportunity which shall not be lost. Daphne, I shall call you. Daphne, for you came to me out of the laurel. What a queen you will make for our mountain hand! An old minister waits, bound hand and foot in my home, and I think it will not take much persuasion on my part to force him to say the words to make you, Daphne, queen of the moonshiners. The girl struggled, raved, vowed she hated him, swore that she would die first, threatened to take her own life and told him that her father would seek him out and slay him, but to no avail. In the arms of the out-law she was carried to the den of the moonshiners. A place which many revenue officers had sought in vain. That night under the silver stars, with the silent pines and The out-laws as witnesses, an old minister with a pistol pointed ai his head muttered the words in a shaky tone which made Nell Hess the wife of Fred Dimmon, ami gave her the title of Daphne, queen of tin ' moonshiners. The girl wife said never a word hut stood, by in silent scorn, defiance and wrath on her face. Not a word or look did she grant her husband but silently prayed that her father would soon come to her rescue. Fred Dimmon treated her as a captive guest, never forcing his attentions upon her, bat always compelling her to perform her duties as queen. After weeks of this life the girl was allowed some freedom, and one evening standing on the cliff closely watched by the guards she saw a long tile of men coming up the path, 1 lie leader of whom she recognized as the boy who had bidden her good-night that evening on the shore. She knew that this meant freedom for her but somehow there was fear in her heart for the chief. With fright- ened eyes she showed the men to her guards and ran across to where her chief stood in the doorway of the cave. He had seen the men and had prepared himself for a hard tight and for death. When Nell came to him with wide frightened eyes he said. Daphne, your free- dom and my death is coming. Daphne, wife, give me a kiss of vour own free will. She shook her head scornfully, but stood by his side and waited for her freedom. It came at length, but when she saw blood spurting from a wound in the side of her chief, with a scream she siezed a sword and fought like a tiger. The chief was sinking from his wound and the blood from his side was staining the floor of the cave a dark red. Nell heard her father say, Nell, darling, come to me, I have saved you, ' and the chief cry. Daphne, I am dy- ing. Leaving her father ' s arms she rushed to the side of the (diief and taking his head in her arms, kissed his lips and said, Fred, husband, I am coming, and plunged the sword into her heart. The morning ' s sun peeping through the pines fell on the body of the chief and Daphne, his queen, lying in each others blood and gently kissed their lips, stone cold. Thus runs the story of the hills, and the old moun- tain people say that in among the laurels are two graves, and over these the laurel always blooms the sweetest. That in a cave up under the cliff there is a pool of stagnant water always, and to the traveler it looks always as if it were blood. All these things hap- ] ened many years ago, but when the laurel blooms, when the locust spreads its sweet perfume, and when the breath of spring is in the air. the story of the out- law is told over and over among the people of the hill.

Freshman — She stuck a hat pin through Widow. a Merry Talking to her young lady friends Frances Rose says that holding handings is not the thing. Talking to her idol, the Little Minister, she says it is just the thing. Since the organization of the Bee ' s by the Junior and Senior girls the boys have been rather skeery. Afraid they ' ll get stung. John McKinney I in physics class) — ' ' Friction is the resistance which one face offers to another face rubbing over it. Photographer Johnson took the Freshman picture last. He knew he would never be able to use the camera again. Literature Teacher — Who was ruler of England before the accession of Queen Elizabeth? Mag Bartlett— Her father. German Teacher — Wha1 order. Mr. R., do you have in that sentence? Mr. R. — I think. Miss S., it is disorder. Dr. Bennett in his chapel talk to the boys told them how to rear children and have happy, comfort- able homes. We wonder where Dr. Bennett has had his experience. Miss Ware had better pin her collar on good be- fore she goes to the photographers after this. She may lose it again if she don ' t ami I hen Mr. Johnson will be minus another handkerchief. Jimmy was a chemist, But Jimmy is no more. What Jimmv took for H 2 Was H2 SOL Mrs. Morrow i in English literature) — u ]S T ow, Mr. Reeves, tell me what principal character is portrayed in ' Julius Caesar ' ? Roscoe — 1 Maiuond I Hck. Miss Hastings — Now I ' m sure we all enjoy a good play. I, for my part, enj oy tennis. Mr. Satterfield, what sort of play do you enjoy? Russell (awakening) — Comic opera. Prof Scherf (in Physical Geog.)— What is the solar system? Freshman — The solar system consists of the earth, sun, moon, and a few other stars. There was a young fellow named Sid, He kissed Nellie on the eyelid. Said she to the lad. Your aim ' s mighty bad, You should practice a while. And he did. Miss A. (in Economics) — Is it easier now to get your bread and butter than it was twenty years ago? Young Freshman (in class) — ' Deed, Miss Abbott. I dont ' know, twenty years ago I was not eating bread and butter. As explained by the logician of the school: It would require the united efforts of the professors of English and Mathematims to record rightly the pro- gressions of the infinite series of its brilliant achieve- ments — Annie had a little calf, Now really this is shocking; For when the boys began to laugh She padded out her stocking. — Experience. ' ' Mag Bartlett is advertising for just one girl, at present. This winter Mag had several girls and was advertising for more. Now he has lost every one and will he satisfied to have one. His plea is Love me and the world is mine. I r. Bennett took Miss Hastings driving one even- ing. (Next morning.) Miss H. — Oh, we had such a delightful drive! We drove away out into the country. Senior — Yes, I suppose that he drove out into the country so that he could drive with one hand. ' At the Dormitory : Ernest, the clock ' s striking ten. You must go. All right, kiss me good-night, Nell, befor e I go. Oh. no! It ' s too late, it ' s past ten. All right, meet me at the end of the girl escape. Mr. Dadisman and Miss Swiger were sitting on the front porch of the Dormitory. A nurse was sitting at the parlor window of the hospital. Why, said the nurse, there ' s Mabel ' s father sitting on the porch with her. (What makes Daddy look so old? Why his age, of course.) There was a club organized in the Boy ' s cloak room called the Chapel Scissors, or C. C ' s. They are of the ordinary kind, only coming to chapel when Dr. Ben- nett or Mr. Borabaugh runs them up. This club was fully organized and some of them claimed to know where the Dormitory apples were kept. Miss Abbott the other day in chapel gave a talk to the girls on ventilating their sleeping rooms. The next morning a young woman from the hall informed Miss Abbott that she had a severe case of neuralgia, caused from sleeping with a window open directly over the head of her bed. After hearing the facts stated Miss Abbott replied, Well, my dear, T did not tell you to sleep with your head or feet out of the window. Dr. Bennett (in chapel) — Now we must not mark library books. 1 was looking through the autobiogra- phy of - - and it was all marked up, etc. (A few minutes later illustrating another point with the same book) — We should use the library books more. Now in the autobiography of - - the leaves were not even cut. Lawrence Conaway says when he gets a hard problem in algebra, he has a good trick to work on Mr. Mercer. Lawrence works on his problem until he knows he will not be able to get it, then pulling out his handkerchief and holding it to his nose, says, Mr. Mercer, my nose is bleeding; may I leave the room? Lawrence leaves and remains away while the period lasts. Melvin Beinheimer told the chemistry class that potassium chromate was found by confusing together several substances. Photographer ( to Mr. Mercer having his picture taken) — Now, Mr. Mercer, look pleasant. Very well, sir, it is all over, now you may resume your natural expression. Prof. Bohrbaugh — Take the next Mr. Peters. Mr. Peters — And now already Arora and Thilo- mus leaving — scattered new — light on the earth — rosy earth— Prof. Bohrbaugh — That will do. and now Miss Ferrell, please translate that sentence for us. Dear Little Farmer In his cute little way Mixes chemicals, to sec what they ' ll do, Every day. If lie don ' t cut this out Some day they ' ll all say. How natural he looks. As thev lav him awav. .Mrs. Eaton, the woman who furnishes the eatin ' at the Woman ' s Hall, recently told the Major to open a box of eatin ' s. The Major thereupon grew eloquent in his endeavor to explain to the good woman of Eaton hall that the matter of opening eatin ' s was the work of Mr. Mauley. The good woman of eatin ' hall then he- came quite wrothy. She forthwith proceeded to put the Major through the hint mill Eatonnesque. When the Major came to. he said, If you will only he quiet, Missus Eating, I will open the eatin ' s. And he did. NEW SENSATION. One of the very latest sensations was sprung the other day in the meetings of the Students Association. The President had called for remarks on a certain ques- tion. All the gentlemen had spoken hut nary a girl. The President then asked if any of the girls wished to speak, whereupon Mr. Stonewall Jackson Cullen Bryant Arivastis Stick Martin arose to his feet to ad- dress the Student Association, thereby proclaiming to the students that he is a girl. Well, no wonder, it is lea]) year. Act I. Dr. Bennett at Dormitory. Mis. Eaton enters with (locks. These (locks won ' t inn. Dr. I e:i- neii. I wish you ' d have them fixed. Exit. With I wo (docks under each arm Dr. Dennett starts for his home. Act. II. Dr. Bennett at home fixing clocks. Wind- one, Why this clock ' s run down. Picks up one By this time 1 1 1 _ at a time. Begins tinkering at them, he is covered with oil and grease.) Rap, rap! Dr. Bennett runs to the window. Hor- rors! there stands Professors Rohrbaugh and Trotter. Mrs. Bennett catches up clocks and runs. Dr. Bennett makes grand rush for back door. (Finale.) Mrs. Morrow, after completing her chapel talks on the story of Joseph, asked her class in rhetoric to outline the story. Mr. Boyles slipped up to the teach- er ' s desk and in a barely audible whisper said, Indeed, Mrs. Morrow. I can ' t outline the story of Joseph. Shocked beyond description by this confession the teacher told the humiliated Mr. Boyles to take his seat. I If the students were given marks for attendance at chapel, Mr. Boyles would surely have received for his attendance what he received for his rhetoric recitation, a zero. | Prof. Scherf — Mr. Heel, what is the strongest acid? Robert Sidney (feeling glum) — The kind that oc- curs abundantly in lemons, citric acid. It is reported that when Nell McDonnell went to Manninglon with the teachers to visit the public schools, she made a special request to be introduced to Ernest Conaway ' s brother, who keeps a hardware stole at the aforesaid city. Whether this rumor is true or not we have not vet ascertained, but nevertheless we know for a fact that when some one went to the hard- ware store to purchase a range. Nellie went along. And when this some one said, Mr. Conaway, allow me to introduce Miss McDonnell, that worthy gentleman responded, Miss McDonnell? h, yes! I ' ve heard of Miss McConnell quite frequently. Yes, we have some Barbarians in our school. No. my clear, the past tense of May is not April. The eternal fitness of things — the picture of .Mann is hung on the girl ' s side of chapel hall. She was a widow and pious. Her favorite hymn was Who Will Be the Next. The B ' s is a club organized for the purpose of pre- paring stings. Xo, my dear, a single at a baseball game does not mean that the player is unmarried. Cullen Martin, the man who climbed the trig- onometree. A happy combination — a merry widow trimmed with bridal roses. Malvin Reinheimer will become great because he organized the tract team. Chug Reed, the man -i 1 -, feet high by 5 feet wide. The Senior — with knowledge filled, The Junior — with arrogance chilled. The Soph — with self-praise thrilled, The Freshman — with warm milk lulled. I was horn at Flaggy Meadow, Augusta county, W. Ya., in the year 1888. — Frances Rose (autobiogra- phy.) The dish most often served at the Dormitory (to young men w hen ' tis time to leave) is cold shoulder, served a la precept resse. The Model School department had a garden this year. They raised pumpkins, squashes and cucum- bers. They produced the most of their teachers. Miss Jacobs (reading Latin) — ( ' ailing with her voice on Hecate, powerful in heaven and in (long pause) Erebus. Prof. Fleming has been rendering beautiful duets in chapel for the past few weeks, i. e., they have been heart rendering. Dido loved Aeneas, So did Sister Ann ; Everybody loved Aeneas But the class in Vergil. Alvis Refers in Myth. — Vulcan was cast down from heaven, 1 think by his mother — I am not sure, but 1 think he was cast down from heaven by his mother, or maybe somebody else cast him down; well, anvwav, he was cast down. Sane, sensible, smooth, serene — Seniors. Jingling, jouring, jostling — Juniors. Silly, senseless, sappy — Sophomores. Funny, foolish, flighty — Freshmen. Young, old, middle-aged, good, bad, in- different — Faculty. WHY IS IT? That Lena looks so Greene? That Prof. Mercer has remained so long a bachelor? That Nell is so Ernest? Thai so many Latin students are how legged? That Knapp raves over the Dawn? ' That Malvin got the job of Senior Grumbler? That Sid is so Manlev? That Hardesty likes the Fann(er) ? That Brooke and McKinney look so ' ' Blanch (ed) when tliey leave the Dorm? . . That Ruth at base ball games dislikes single hits, bill raves about a Homer? That Mabel took Andrew her father? Thai Mag got so Stout hearted along the last of April ? That Lawson prizes so highly a Ruby? That Elsie is so Little? That Mnsgrave wants a home at Chillingsbnrg? That Hastings likes Olive(s) so well? That Conaway approves of the Knight? That Bartlett does not say which of the sisters is -That Dr. Bennett ' s favorite State is Montana? to go boat-riding with him.
