We, the Senior Class, in token of the esteem in which we hold him, in grateful recognition of his efficient service to Southern College, affectionately dedicate the A lligator of 1912. TO OUR PRESIDENT. _______JfflBgaHiHaita«MH Our President There is a tradition that in the misty past ur Presi- dent was a little boy, bitt of that we can not say definitely. ( )f one thing, however, we are sure: he is not the least of a family that has furnished preachers and public men to more than one of the Southern states, and while Dr. ITilhurn is still a young man, he has filled many high positions in tile Church, lie has spent some time in the West, in both the school room and the pastorate. Since coming to Florida, he has been delegate to several General Conferences, anil Pre- siding Elder, as well as a preacher. Up to the present time he has signed every diploma issued by Southern Col- lege, either as President or as President of the Board of Trustees. His wise management has tilled our College through her infancy and given her a rank among our best Southern colleges. 1 r. J. I ' .

Salutation With a profound sense of our inability to produce a volume worthy of our institution, we have, in the following ' pages, presented some of the features of life at Southern. The work is incomplete, for our space has been limited; again, there are doubtless many mistakes, which we trust you who read will charge, not to willful intention, but to our liability to error. To you, students, to you, patrons, to you, officers and instructors, do we commit this, the result of our labors. If you find worthy information, instruction, and pleasure, the knowledge of your appreciation will amply repay us for our efforts. i. J. E. Hendry. 2. L. X. Pipkin. 3. Rev. I.. W. Moore. 4- Rev. S.

Cecil The best of scholars and one of the noblest Christians who has ever exerted his influence in Southern — such is hut a moder- ate estimate of Prof. Thomas .M. Cecil. A moment ' s look into his past, the good he has accomplished, souls won to Christ, intellects trained, impresses us with his extraordinary power. His life has been exemplary, standing always for the right and the betterment of mankind. He looked upon knowledge, not as an end within itself, but as a means of usefulness in the serv- ice of his fellow men, as is evinced by his glowing record as a teacher, having spent forty years preparing southern youths to en- gage successfully in life ' s battles. For the past eight years he has held the chair of .Mathematics in Southern College, where hun- dreds of devoted pupils have felt the kindly influence ni his warm heart and received the benefits of his bright mind. Prof. T. M. Cecil was born at Newbenv, Pulaski County, a., in [842. When still in his teens he volunteered for the serv- ice of his country, going to the front as a member of The Pulas- ki Gu ards , C. S. A. and served gallantly until the close of the war. In 1865 he matriculated in Emory Henry College, a., where he distinguished himself as a student. While there he won the .Mathematics Medal, also the Essay .Medal offered by the Hermesian Literary Society. After hiving graduated from that institution with high honors he became a preacher in the M. E. Church South, but soon felt his need in the educational field and began his teaching career. It was on the 22nd of July. 101 1. at the home of his sister, Mrs. N. C. Lucas, Childress, a., where he was spending his summer, that he succumbed to a sudden illness, and with his loved ones around his bedside, so willingly, so sweetly answered the call of his bather in whom was all his trust. I lis loss to the devoted members of his family and to the hosts of saddened friends can never be estimated. We feel that his place in Southern can never be filled. Our dear old Prof. Cecil, how we do miss him, his cheery smiles, words of encouragement and innumerable kindnesses. Now that his spirit has returned to the God who gave it, it is but for us to pattern our lives after his that we may meet again in that land where there is no death.

Orion — please don ' t let his name mislead you. he is not heavenly at all. His look of wisdom is contrary to fact. He too is descended from Adam. Poor Adam! — you have many queer specimens to be responsible for. However his capabilities are inconceivable and his possibilities unlimited, at least the faculty thinks so. Mr. Feaster is a man of favorites. His favorite expression is Haven ' t even read it over ; favorite song ' , Juanita ; favorite study, Sociology and favorite poem Love . He has high aspirations for the healing profession and expects to indulge in the study of medicine for the next six years, after which he will some day be recognized as a prodigy in his line. Intends opening up one office at Seaside, another at Dunedin, using a biplane in making his calls, being- then what he hopes to be — a Doctor on the fly. Feaster ' s noble Christian manhood has endeared him to all in Southern Col- lege and with his exit from her portals will go one of the finest, truest of boys. Ah ! would that more were like him. With something of a lofty utterance drest — Choice word and measured phrase. Above the reach of ordinary men. M - I Q I 26 ■ ■■ ma H Lulu Rachael Greer. Lulu has a very meek and innocent expression and seemingly studious hab- its, but alas! it is all a great mistake! She plans various and sundry tortures for a certain credulous person whom she persists in calling Sister . She is cold and unsympathetic to all who for a moment allow her the upper hand . It has been rumored that most of the noise in her part of the dining room is caused by this meek-looking person. She never studies if she can help it, but has gained a reputation of studiousness for herself by always carrying three or four books under her arm. Her room-mate says that she sleeps with her books and it may be that she is trying to absorb their contests by physical contact. The height of her ambition was to study osteopathy until a recent trip to the Lighthouse, since then she has announced her intention of taking a M ( aste ) r ' s degree. She distresses her science teacher by using the chemistries for scrapbooks and interrupting the experiments with water fights. Very much interested in the late Beatty case when it was being tried. When a certain letter does not come from the north with train-like regularity she languidly inquires of a classmate if he has heard from Griff lately and was there any news that she might be interested in. Yet graceful ease and sweetness void of pride Would hide her faults, if she had faults to hide. mil. 1 28 J( )YCE MANX. Yes. it is Miss Mann, the star of the Senior Class, has the weakness of be- ing studious and carrying off all the scholarship medals, also had the nerve ' to win valedictorian ' s place. Best Man(n) in the class without a doubt. Talks continually — never gives another person a chance. Her favorite diet — oranges and salt. Joyce has a few besetting sins such as having the sweetest temper on earth, winning everybody ' s love and admiration. She has ever been an inspiration to the faculty and fellow students and we re-Joyce at having had her for a class- mate. She is a loyal Erolethean and one of the old Southern bricks. We fear her little! ?) place can never be filled. Her voice is ever low and sweet. An excellent thing in woman. I 30 ALICE PETXl )LD. Alice, the fair Alice, our blue eyed maid, hail- from New York. Happy to say. since her sojourn in Southern she has lust her Yankee twang. She is very optimistic, always looking on the bright side of life even in her varied experiences as a college girl, except at present she is worried over becoming thin. Alice is one of the few who are desirous of taking all that is taught at Southern. She is in fur everything, lessons, society, crushes! ?). Tarpon, fusses or any kind of ex- citement that happens to turn up. The violin is her hobby , her idol , frequently we see a dreamy look steal into her blue eyes, her rosy cheeks grow rosier and we know she is thinking of the days when she will have finished her course in Germany and spell-bound audiences and flowery tributes to her art will be as the sands of the sea. In spite of her talent and sweet little winning ways every one loves Alice. Her favorite motto is : What ' s the use to worry, you ' re bound to come out on top. 1BH — ■ ■ Senior Poem ( )ur work is done; we pass along, With words of praise, with tears, with song; Sad tears for thoughts and memories.

Time ' s auctioneer lets Ij fall the hammer, sending a thrill through the heart of [912. As members of the elass of 1912, we have that feeling of sadness that must come to every graduating class as the time draws near for bidding farewell to the old college. We have been associated together in the class rooms for tin four years past ; we have met in friendly rivalry; we have shared victory ami defeat; we have enjoyed intimate companionship, one with the other. We have learned to love our college as every one loves his Alma Mater; we love it as a whole: we love ever)- part of it; we line the chapel where we have sat together for so many mornings; we love the classrooms where we have been so patiently, so kindly instructed by our noble teachers, benefited each day by the contact with their lives and the excellent examples they have set us; every inch of ground that Southern calls hers has been endeared to ns by the years of associa- tion. Then it is but natural that we should feel sad when we come to realize that within a few weeks we shall lie breaking away from the associations of our college life — shall be saying farewell to our friends, and leaving behind us all that we have learned to love here. But we should not bewail the end of our college career. ( )ur years here have been a preparation for the more serious duties of life. We go forth with in- creased knowledge, with sharpened intellects, with studious and painstaking hab- its, and with our soids awakened and quickened into higher life, to do the work- that falls to our lot. Whatever the work may be we shall do it well, and by doing it well we shall reflect credit upon ourselves and upon Southern. Viewed from the last days of a Senior year the hours have passed quickly, that have brought the end. We are not sorry to leave you. Alma .Mater. There is that within us that bids not sit. nor stand, but A ! The winds rush past our ears crying, Up and away! The awakening oowers of young manhood and young womanhood are forcing us from your fold. We would not stay longer with you. and yet — and yet — and yet — To the classes that remain behind we would say that we almost envy vim your remaining years in school here, for we believe it will be a great priv- ilege to share and rejoice in the new life that is evidently coming to the old college. There are unmistakable signs of an awakening and we shall watch with interest every step of progress that results from this awakening ; and especially shall we watch the part that you take in this new life, for upon you in a large measure will depend the success of many of the new movements. We shall be with you in spirit in the years to come; we shall rejoice with you in every victory; and suffer all your defeats with you just as we have done in the past. Other classes have gone from your doors. Alma Mater — others more bril- liant, perhaps, than our own; but none has gone forth with a purer, cleaner record than goes forth this Senior Class. And we pledge you that, as the years pass by, your heart shall never ache, and your head never bow in shame over a son or daughter of 1912. 33 IHMHH MB e n i o r Pro p h e c y Till ' , day was a sultry one in the early part of August in the year 1920 I was spending the summer at one of the numerous resorts on the Atlantic Loast. Having strolled along the shore. 1 passed the bathers, fishing piers and finally sat down on the sand, my back against a sand heap, with a parasol tilted in order to shade my eyes, and still 1 was not comfortable. The oppressive atmosphere made me feel quite drowsy. Just at this moment an unusually large foam-crested wave attracted my at- tention. It came rolling m toward me so majestically that 1 was forced to notice it. As it dashed against a large bowlder just in front of me, an irridescent spray was sent up from which emerged a beautiful siren, whose green skin was glis- tening like a magnificent emerald in the sun. Her cheeks were tinged with pink- her heavy hair was of bronze green; dark eyebrows and drooping lashes added to her beauty. As for her eyes, they were most attractive, for she was the very semblance of grace. While I gazed at her I became aware of the softest sweet- est strains of music. At first I thought it must be some wind instrument but soon concluded such music could not be produced by any mortal. It surely must and did come from the sea. Soon everything seemed to be drifting— driftiiv the clouds overhead, the lazy waters, and even myself. Yes, I was actually drifting out to sea on my wave, and felt in a position to sympathize with the hopeless lovers of the Lorelei. When I again became conscious of my surroundings, 1 was resting on a moss-covered rock in a wonderful cave. Around the vast apartment were scat- tered lacey rugs of red and green sea-weed. ( )n the floor were beautiful little pink shells, as delicate in tint as rose leaves, and from the roof of this cave hung stalactites. 1 had no time to contemplate these submarine beauties for at this moment I again became aware of the presence of the little nymph who for the first time spoke to me in her soft, dreamy voice. Much to my surprise she told me she had been preparing for my coming which had been ordained eight years before. She led me through several of these fairy recesses until we came to a brilliantly lighted room. I thought it must be a picture gallery for both sides were hung with what seemed to be pictures, covered with ' the finest gauzy curtains. She vanished from my side, glided over to the first picture. I, wide eyed, awaited future developments. Then beckoning me to take notice she ' gently raised the soft film which hung gracefully over the picture, disci. .sing a most beautiful scene. It was a handsome, good-natured looking man sitting at the breakfast table in an attractive dining room, over which presided our rosy- cheeked, happy Alice. Yes, there sat our talented violinist, Alice Petzold. Much surprised was I that she should have given up her musical career, but soon forgot my disappointment when I saw how gracefully and happily she was ful- filling the true sphere of woman. The next picture seemed smoked or clouded and we were about to pass it by. when our attention was caught by a flash of red. the smoke, which ' arose from a huge black pot, now cleared entirely away. A crowd of gruesome can- nibals in short red skirts, the brightness of which made us change our minds about viewing the picture, seemed to be holding a conference around the pot. Not far off. shielding the poor old man from his enemies, was a little missionary whom we recognized as Joyce Mann. She seemed to have, after evidently much 34 pleading, persuaded the savages to listen and consider her argument for sparing the life of this man. ( ur sweet, intellectual Joyce had after taking her A. M. from Southern, given up her life to the noble cause of mission work. The next glance into the future revealed an operating room, in a large sanitarium; a group of doctors — a most distinguished group — were holding council in one part of the room, and presiding over this 1 recognized our ambitious .Mr. Feaster. The scene shifted a little disclosing this noted physician closely bent over the operating table, performing a critical operation which the others feared to undertake, and with wonderful success too, as was shown by another scene, which was an expression of awe and wonder on the part of the group of learned doctors, and gratitude of the father of the afflicted child, so magically restored to his parents. The door of an elegant home was then thrown open. In the parlor 1 recog- nized our piano graduate of 1912, Juanita Pipkin. s she softly played in the summer twilight dreaming of her career, unknown to her. her Sir Galahad en- tered the room (he looked like a doctor) lightly tip-toed to the piano and stood bv her side. Her fingers were lingering on the final notes as she looked up. The scene ended here. Had 1 seen more 1 might have answered the following question.

It is a beautiful day, all is gold and green, with every bird singing its little heart out in ecstasy, as if God had just made the world. With the exception of Air. John Bracco and Mr. Hanson Thrower, the class of ' 13 had assembled in Dr. Russell ' s class room. Mr. Daniel seemed very anxious to tell us bis experience first. We were all glad to hear of the fine work he had been doing preaching the Gospel. Mr. Daniel leaves in July for India where he will join Mr. Bracco in his missionary work. Mr. Ray I lowland, after leaving school, decided that he would study medi- cine. He practiced successfully for two years in Atlanta. Then he gave up his profession for literature. Even in his college days we remember Ray as quite a poet, and now he is doing some fine work in this line. Mr. Timberlake and Mr. Fussell are rather young to be such fine lawyers but they have shown themselves worthy of being ranked among the best legal lights of the country. We were surprised to hear that Cornelia had been teaching school in Georgia. There is no doubt that she had her share of trials and tribulations. The most in- teresting part of her experience was about one of her pupils last year. This little boy with large brown eyes and dark hair was named James. James was so mis- chievous that he was continually disturbing Cornelia, as well as the other pupils. After trying various kinds of punishment, she did not spare the rod. and decided to call upon lames ' parents to see if the}- could not assist her to manage him. Up- on asking James his father ' s name she was astonished to hear him say that it was Hanson Thrower. This name sounded very familiar to Cornelia. She asked Tames if his father were not practicing law in one of the large towns near by. She was surprised when be answered, Pa started out Iawin ' in one of them big towns but he couldn ' t do nothin ' at that so he come out here and is a-farmin ' now. Cornelia called on Mr. and Mrs. Thrower that very afternoon and was delighted to find that it was her old class-mate of S. C. We hope that Southern College will always be proud of her class of ' 13. The class adjourned to meet again in 1933. Prophet — - ' 13. 44 Junior History SINCE the history of all great organizations is demanded by the admiring world, it has befallen me to write a history of the Junior Class. I realize that in order to write a true and complete history, it is necessary to give the date of birth, home and a brief sketch of the character treated. But political honor forbids that I expose any ages, for it was upon that platform that 1 was elected to this great office. However. 1 shall venture the suggestion (on the other side) that they are every one between the fifteenth and thirty-first summer. Then, too it would be impossible for me to crowd into the small space allotted to me. all the details necessary for a complete history. So 1 shall give only a few facts concerning each member. The most remarkable thing about our class is. Its smallness ; only eight in number. However, we do not let the size of the class hinder us from doing any- thing we deem necessary. Our class has indeed a great history, ranging from the primary department to the sophomore year. Miss Cornelia Brittle has the honor of being the original founder of the c ' ass, beginning in the first grade of the primary department. She indeed deserves great honor from the class, and 1 do not hesitate to say, that we as a class esteem it a great honor to have such a faithful member. s a short nrophecy, 1 may sav. judging from the past record, and her present standing, that she will have the honor of being Valedictorian for the Senior Class of ' 13. Mr. T. H. Daniel is another distinguished member of our class. He entered here in his sophomore year. Since that time he has distinguished himself in many ways. T may say here, that he is one of the leading ministers of Southern College. When first entering the college, he joined the Philomathean Literary Society, and there made his abilitv as a public sneaker known; so much so that the society bestowed upon him the greatest honor in school, by making him. )rator, in the Inter-Society Contest, of which we are glad to say that he was a winner. Mr. Daniel also lias the honor of being one of the speakers in the inter- collegiate debate which will take place here sometime in the near future between Southern College and Stetson University. The Class hopes him great success. Mr. J. A. Timberlake entered Southern College Sept. 17. 1910, as a freshman. Of course everyone knows the history of a freshman, for the name itself is suffi- cient to tell. Well, the name was not misapplied to him in the least. When first en- tering school he also became a member of the Philomathean Literary Society. 45 •AM. ■■■■■■■ Only a few weeks after joining, the society bestowed upon him the honor, as a speaker in the inter-Society debate, of which we are glad to note he was on the winning side. The society has also bestowed upon him the honor of rep- resenting them as orator in the Inter-Society ( (ratorical Contest. Mr. II. B. Fussell is another renowned member of our class. lie has the honor of being next to the original founder of the class of ' 13, and far greater than this will he the youngest graduate under the present curriculum. Mr. Fussell is a distinguished member of the Phi Sigma Literary Society. Miss Frances Young, The Belle of our Class, came in with us in her sophomore year. Miss Young, upon entering school joined the Erolethean Liter- ary Society, and since that time she has been a true and faithful member. Mr. J. J. Bracco, the well known ladies ' man of Southern College, entered here as a sophomore. Since that time he has been a true and faithful student. He also is a member of the Philomathean Literary Society. Mr. R. A. I lowland is another member, to whom the class owes great honor. .Mr. I lowland on entering school here, became a member of the Phi Sigma Lit- erary Society, an. I since that time has filled many places of honor. Mr. I low- land has the honor bestowed upon him of representing Southern College in an inter-collegiate debate against Stetson University. We feel sure that he will bring home a great victory to the college and especially to the Junior (. ' lass. Mr. II. R. I hrower has been a member of our class only for a short time. But judging from bis record of the past, I hesitate not one moment to say that in the near future his renown shall he known to the world. As Juniors we have met with many new difficulties, but having obtained so much knowledge in our former years, we are able to meet them face to face and ci mquer them. The Junior reception is always an epoch in the history of the Junior Class, for it is upon this occasion that the Juniors extend their hospitality to the Seniors. It is indeed a great class, and 1 doubt not that in due process of time, it shall gain in lustre, until its members shall become the highest luminaries in all the spheres of life ' s activities. With this fragment of history. I shall leave it to the historian of the future, never doubting, but that the class shall leave its impress upon the admiring wi irld.

M. 50 S o p h o more II i s t o r y One day. several months ago, Old Father Time was sitting on his majestic throne, watching the sun as it pursued its endless course through the heavens. He called one of his pages to him and said Page, 1 am weary with my long vigil over the numberless systems of the universe: I would change from contemplating planets and worlds to something of a lighter vein. Go, with thy greatest speed; assume the form of man: live among them and learn of their daily life; then bring to me a true account of conditions in that distant world. Perchance the re- cital may while away some of my otherwise tedious hours. The page obeyed. He mounted the chariot of the heavens and with a velocity swifter far than that of light was borne to his destination. During his stay on earth he spent some time in Sutherland. He took the part of a school boy in the Sophomore Class and thus learned all the mysterious hidden l re of its members. At last he re- turned to Father Time ' s realm and gave such a pleasing account of his journey that Father Time sent him back to earth to learn still more of its inhabitants. It was during this second visit that 1 made his acquaintance. I was sitting all alone one warm afternoon with paper and pencil in hand trying to decide how to write the history of our illustrious class. It seemed that not a single thought would come to me. I began to feel sleepy and drifted slowly into the un- known land of dreams. All at once someone seemed to stand at my side. He said. Do not worry so about the history. Kind Father Time has seen your dis- tress and sent me to aid von. I am his servant and not long ago, at his command, 1 -pent some time on earth. I was a member of your class and through a super- natural genius with which I was endowed, learned all about that noted body oi young people. He then proceeded to give me a very minute account of his im- pressions concerning the Sophomores. He first brought to my mind the time of our entering the college, one year ago as Freshies . I ' m afraid that according to his story we were a green lot at that time. The Academy had been easy sail- ing but somehow everything in the College seemed so strange. We couldn ' t get used to having a dignified Senior walk up to us and say. (Hi. you ' re a Freshie, stand aside and let me pass. But gradually we became initiated into college life, learned its books and crooks, and were adepts in everything that we were supposed to let alone, such as mid-night feasts and moonlight raids on orange enroves. Our books— well, they didn ' t bother us and we didn ' t bother them until time for exams and then we would cram. cram. cram. t the opening of school this year Mr. Ralph Sellers was elected president of the class. He made a good presiding officer until Latin. Creek and Math became so pressing that he was fam to fly from troublesome things. Since that Mr. Henry Funk has very acceptably filled the position. Miss Baugh is the class scientist. Bugs and flowers are her especial delight. Wint is interested in English, lie can ' t understand why Dr. ■■MMb ■Ma ■n Russell doesn t know that he is merely trying to show his originality when he puts on exam papers that Paradise Lost , written by Shakspeare is the most noted comedy in the English language. Juanita is our musician. With her beautiful strains she charms away all recollections of dull studies and transports us through her magic touch into the realm where all is beautiful and melodious. We are well supplied with natural scenery, having both a fountain and a Mountain, though sometimes the view is obscured by the darkness of Knight. .Mr. Wagner needs no other recommendation than his phenomenal height. ]3y this time 1 began to waken out of my vision. In vain I questioned my strange visitor as to his name. That he would not disck.se. But as .Mr. Hays and Mr. Fischer have disappeared from our ranks perhaps one of them was the visitor from Father Time ' s realm. However, this is only conjecture. Don ' t suppose we wdl ever certainly determine his identity. I Wit now I was thoroughly awake and found it had all been a dream. It was not a useless dream as it had given me some ideas about how to write our class history. To me had been -ranted the privilege so wished for by Burns in his lines: Oh, wad some power the giftie gie us. To see ourselves as ithers see us. 52 +j m mm mm Freshman Class Motto: Saepientia et Virtute. Colors: Purple and Gold. Flower: Violet. YELL. Who are It? We are It ! Ghee, who, zah ! Freshman.

One reason for this is because no two of us call the same woman mother, though several in the class are working with that as their chief aim. The way Mickler courts Grandmother bears out this statement by all doubt. The manner in which our Pen — blushes when he scares a Dot, also adds emphasis to foregoing statement. Of course we would not give the impression that we are at all conceited; but facts are facts, and as a responsible historian it becomes our duty to see that you the foregoing statement. In our aforesaid Matchless lass line, none have their being, and some of them, their better being; four of Southern ' s stars, on the Athletic field. Our President. Secretary and Historian lead in the base ball (here) and occupy similar positions on the basket ball team; also a champion debater against Stetson Univer- sity can be found marching under our royal colors. And we would not forget that ours is the honor to have as a representative the largest singer in school. We are called Fresh , and had much rather be such than trouble peoples ' smelling apparatus by not being so. ( )urs is the only class here that comes under this rule. That we are going to be proud of our class some day. no doubt you have al- ready gathered from the preceding argument. In fact we have a reputation suffi- cient to cause any class to experience a sense of anticipation of victory not far ahead of us. Even Prof. Wagner is contemplating the admissability of surrendering our History Class. Xot because he doesn ' t know how to teach history; the problem is to teach US . However in the coming decade, when legislative halls, senate chambers, and chapels ring with our eloquent voices, it will take a Philadelphia lawyer to ex- plain what we have said; and a Daniel Webster, to appreciate all we leave unsaid. Now, dear reader, no doubt you will be troubled with indigestion by the time you have devoured these monstrous facts, but as before we informed you they are facts; and all weak minds are more or less dyspeptic when confronted by a superior. Gladlv, we bid you a happy farewell For as usual, disturbed by the clanging bell. 57 «0H9 ■■■■■■■■ ■I 1l 58 Fourth Year Poem O Southern!

Only two of our members were here at the organization of the Academy and we are proud of them. We can boast of being the first class to graduate with a member who had been with the class the four years. October the nth, [911, we met in Professor Kensinger ' s class room and or- ganized the class of which we are all proud. We were remembering the words of Christ. Let your light so shine , when we elected Day for President in whom we have utmost confidence. This is his third year and he has made our pathway much brighter. He is a great athlete and we never fear of losing, for he knows how to Edge near the basket. With all of our knowledge we need much nourishment for the growth of our class and are duly proud of Rice for our Nice President. Realizing our perplexities and rough climbing and the many trying hours of Greek, Latin and A lath, we chose our Shipp for Secretary who can sail through calmly, so with our automobiles we are having a very pleasant journey with Aeneas. We never have one thought of fear for our Treasurer, Leroy McKeowh, is a member of the Ministerial Class. The town of Sutherland can boast of having one of the most flourishing Mills in the world. We do not boast of its size, but the quality of work which it turns out. You will admit that very few Mills are human and we are proud to be classed with this one and we have made full arrangements with the manager Alvin for the manufacturing of our class poem, we are sure that it will be fine, for they have an excellent Miller. We can not boast of twelve apostles but we can of two, the beloved one, John, and Paul, whose intellectual ability is known throughout the school. Many of the members of our class are religious. We also have some who will cheer many faint hearts with their words of encouragement. We have several llowells in our class who make a big noise for us but the chirpings of our Burd and I ' .ynl overcome them. Besides these we have many other members but they are too numerous too mention and the least we can say is that it is the finest class in all lines; Religion. Athletics, Society and Literary, to have finished from Southern College Academy. And last but not least we could not forget our beloved Professor Kensinger: whatever we may be and what success we may attain we owe to him who has been our help and inspiration.

Some roamed on the western prairies, some watched the .Mississippi in its onward course, others were in the cities of Xew England and many gathered tropical flowers and fruits in our own sunny Southland, never a thought of Southern Academy and Prof. Guy toward whom our several destinies were silently but surely bearing us. In September, 1910, our various paths converged and we began a new ex- istence. How different the dignified academy life from the freedom of the hills and plains we had formerly known. But the wi e speedily adapt themselves to circumstances, and as we were very desirous of claiming that distinction we made the best of our condition and went to work in earnest. As a result of honest ef- forts we had a very successful Freshman year. At last the final exams were finished, and oh, joyful news, we realized that we had actually passed. We spent a happy vacation hut when the college hell rang out its summons on Sept. 19, 1 • 7 1 1, we were here ready to take our advanced station as Sophomores. A few had gone from us. while others had decided to join our number, and so we made lip the rank and file of our illustrious class. We organized and went to work.

W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. was organized during the spring term of 1910-11, under the direction of Miss Wales. Previous to the forming of the Association, Friday evening prayer meetings had been held regularly, but realizing that more could be accomplished by united effort and that the inspiration due to affiliation with other colleges would be of untold value in our own Christian work, we, therefore. organized with the purpose of promoting Christian growth among the students. Under the skillful leadership of our first president, .Miss Fussell, the society was soon in such excellent working order that before the close of the spring term we were able to send two delegates, Misses I ' .ena Collins and Sula Gattis, to the Intercollegiate Convention of the Florida Y. W. C. A. at Stetson University, Deland, Fla. Upon the election of new officers in the fall of 1 « j I i-u Miss Ruth Iiaugh was made our second president. She has been earnest and energetic in her efforts to promote the spiritual and material welfare of the society, and has been nobly assisted by the able members of her Cabinet and Advisory Board. During the revivals held in the fall under the leadership of Rev. Mr. Myers, prayer meetings were held each evening by the girls, when many were led into a deeper spiritual knowledge of Christ, and much latent talent for Christian work was developed. While the members are making marked progress in Christian growth, which is having its reflex influence upon the student body, yet, feeling that ' tis true that soul to soul can never teach, what unto itself was taught ; we have faith to be- lieve that the many silent but potent forces for spiritual uplift, now being set in motion will continue to widen and grow until time merges into eternity, and the redeemed unite in giving all glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain, that we might have life and have it more abundantly. 85 ■■faM ■-; , . 87 ■H Ministerial Club ACTIVE MEMBERS.

Because, although he has never forced a forward step in its development, yet he has watched with tender solicitude for the time when it had gained sufficient strength to justify him in providing for its advancement. The Club has not come into existence so much because we desired it and labored to that end but because we needed it. The Club does not need us so much as we need it. For this very simple reason The Ministerial Club is ami mg the first organizations of its kind in Southern College. We find a meeting place in the beautiful home of its Governor. There every Friday evening at seven o ' clock we convene. Business is first in the order of proceeding and we discuss those problems confronting us in our daily life; the best manner in which to deal with present conditions of men and things about us. The associations in these meetings are such as are peculiar only to a body of Methodist ministerial students striving toward the mark of our high calling of God in Christ Jesus. After the business is transacted the meeting is turned over to the Governor for devotional service. A chapter of the Bible, designated at the previous meet- ing for study, is read and discussed by each member of the Club. The doctrines and teachings of our church are subjects not infrequently handled. Spending more than an hour in prayer and study we adjourn feeling that no period of such length has ben more profitably employed during the week. It refreshes our spirits and lifts our aspirations for davs and problems ahead. In coming years when we are confronted with principles peculiar to our calling we shall then look back with grateful hearts to lessons learned in the dear old Club. 90 Epworth League Officers Epworth League P.

That is our name. It has been said there is nothing in a name , but would home, mother, heaven sound as dear to us if called by any other name? Could a hoy honored by having the ame name as George Wash ington be anything less than a hero? Would not a Napoleon Bonaparte dream dreams and see visions of a powerful empire though he might never come to its realization? Could a Martin Luther fail to do his duty and stand for the right as he saw it? It is true that we are influenced by our names and any honest soul will endeavor not only to reach the standard of those who have gone before him. hut if possible to lift tlie standard a little higher; to make at least one upward step on the ladder of advancement. The Erolethean Literary Society rills a large place in our college life, as is evinced by the fact that her roll includes the names of two thirds of Southern ' s young ladies. The Erolethean Literary Society has her hall located on the first floor, front, of the girls ' dormitory. To this attractive retreat the members of the society flock every Monday evening, and soon this chamber resounds with peals of impassioned eloquence. Readings, declamations, original essays, and music are features of the entertainment. The object of our literary society is to teach her members the art of self-expression, and broaden them intellectually. By their fruits ye shall know them, runs the proverb; and by their fruits we may have full assur- ance as to the high standard of this organization. Truth conquers all things. That is our motto. That is our hope of suc- cess. In those rn gic words we base our efforts and trusting in the worth of the ■ goal in view we strive on nor will we he disappointed. Truth crushed to earth, shall rise again. The eternal years of Cod are hers: Hut error wounded writhes in pain And dies among her worshippers. There you have the ideals of the Erolethean, in the name and in the motto. Lovers of Truth. That shows us how we stand, what we are. and what is expected of us. Truth conquers all things. Our incentive, our encouragement in the race, our promise of the goal at last. e, the Eroletheans, were organized October 10, 1902. There have been many changes since then, many have gone out from us to sing praises of dear old Erolethean. 96 97 m J Phi Sigma Literary Society ( m.uKS : Pink and ( Ireen.

A. 99 History of the Phi Sigma Literary Society On March 2, [912, the Phi Sigma Literary Society celebrated the twenty- first anniversary of its existence. Since its organization in [89] when Southern College was known by another name, it has grown and prospered as one of the in- stitutions of the college, and today it stands as an important factor in the college life of the male students of this institution. Many men who are now prominent in their various vocations, made their first attempt at speaking or debating in this society. Just here we will mention one of our faculty who has the honor of being a charter member. Prof. Jas. X. Piatt, holding the chair of Science. In his very able address at the celebration of the twenty-first anniversary, he so distinctly brought out the fact that the fraternal spirit existing among the members today, would grow in strength as the years passed, and a man Would alne mi highly the benefits derived from his training and his association in the so- ciety work at his Alma Mater. The enrollment up to this date is 47 and the records show that for the past six months, the average attendance at each weekly meeting, excluding visitors, has been 25. Considering the fact that many of the members on the roll left college during the earlier part of the term, and also the fact that many have been absent on account of being players on the various athletic teams, the attendance lias been remarkably good; this shows that the boys have a deep interest in the society. I he new society hall located in the gymnasium, was opened a few weeks af- ter the beginning of college in September and it surpassed the expectations of everyone. The walls are beautifully finished in the society colors, pink and green, and the handsome art square covering the whole floor, harmonizes perfectly with the rest of the interior work, and the whole presents a very beautiful appearance. Every year, g 1 speakers are being developed by the society, and as to the inter-society contest to be held commencement, it is safe to predict victory for the PHI SIGMA LITERARY SOCIETY. T. W.

Though having come by a very rough, rooty road which was mostly uphill — summus id — our golden daisies gazing full upon yon with a twinkle in their merry brown eyes which seems to say yes, 1 told you so. Our chief aim, as of all literary societies, is to study and learn to appreciate the great and noble characters who have lived in story and in reality. That from these we might select and set up standards by which we would shape our own lives. The moral and spiritual elements are, indeed, very essential. And that one and greatest piece of literature ever produced can not and must not be overlooked. The Sigma Delta Society strives to develop the social natures of its members, to create and keep alive a fraternal spirit, and that bond of sympathy which reaches out to help others — an unselfish spirit making us rejoice in the welfare of our fellow-beings. Old Sigma Delta, may your girls be a credit to you. .May each one go out in life to make the pure, noble woman — such that you will be proud to know yon dealt with her. May your prosperity become greater and greater in performing your noble work; and may the day not be far hence when you can look hack with a smile upon the struggles you have suffered — struggles never to be repeated.

How the industrious students of old Southern College delved and searched and toiled in getting for the annual the poetries, histories and prophecies of the various departments of College. Some of those prophesies have come to pass, while others have taken the wings of the morning and flown away never to be realized or even thought of. ( )nly as we happen to pick up one of these old annuals and as our eyes scan the pages we let our thoughts go back to the time when these prophecies were written. Notwithstanding the fact that this is the year [927, my thoughts are back in the old school days; for only a few days past, I was visiting in one of the great cities of the South and to my utter astonishment, when approaching a brawny old policeman for some information regarding the location of a street number, I rec- ognized him as batty Piatt, who is now Chief of Police of that city. He pointed out to me the office of The bunk and Timberlake Law Firm. As I entered the office, who should greet me but old Ben Morten, who looks after the business of this firm in that city. I was immediately escorted to his home and after enjoying a visit with him and his family we went out in the evening to hear a lecture by the most noted orator of the South. J. 11. Daniel, lie is working in the interest of Nation Wide Prohibition and is taking things bv storm. On this night, Me faced his audience with a tranquil mien and a beaming aspect that was never dimmed. Me spoke and in the measured cadence of his quiet voice there was in- tense feeling, but no superficial emotion. It was simple colloquy — a gentleman conversing. The ears and hearts of the people were charmed. Mow was it done? Ah: how did .Mozart do it, how Raphael? The secret of the rose ' s sweetness, of the bird ' s ecstasy, of the sunset ' s glory — that is the secret of genius and of elo- quence. When Mr. Daniel left the platform, we three went to a nearby cafe and en- joyed a dinner together, during which time we talked of Philomatheans who are scattered to the four ends of the earth. 1 was told that Fountain is president of the largest female college in the South. ur Carpenter, instead of building him a mansion, has Baugh-| t ) his estate of happiness, lie is now quietly and serenely settled upon an orange grove near Seaside. Prom the shaded porch of his little cottage he can look over the hill, upon which he was accustomed to take his evening walks when at College, and beyond its crest he can see the beautiful Philomathean Mall at old Southern College. It is useless to say that he is happy, for we all know that, to own an orange grove has always been the height of his ambition. No one knew of the whereabouts of little Johnny J. Bracco but I was assured that he had gone forth weeping bearing precious seeds; doubtless lie will come again bringing his sheaves with him. Morten remarked in his old manner that. Fletcher thought the world had turned upside down and he was standing on its apex, for he had just been assigned to the first church in the city and had arrived the day before with his Chicken Little. 1 us Then Daniels asked about DuPont. Why, Morten said. Did you not know that he got Shipp-(ed) from Southern? We then parted with a good old hand-shake characteristic of the Philoma- theans and wished that we could meet once more in our hall and see those of whom we had been talking. On my evangelistic tour of the South. 1 chanced to meet and hear of a number of the boys. But I will not take any more of your time to tell you where they are and what they are doing, for they are scattered far and near. The) are lawyers, doctors, preachers, merchants, authors, and above all they are gentlemen. Wherev- er you meet one you will have to deal with a man who stands fair and square, ready to give the world a just deal. ( Iscar E. Rice. Philomathean I ' oem We do not care what the others may saj For Philomatheans , lead the way, We ' re fighting onward to the end. And toward this goal, our steps shall bend, Excellence this end shall be. We have the spirit we ought to have. And also men who are quick and brave, Who ' re not afraid to stand and fight. And winning us victories gain us might, Excellence is e ' er our aim. We have the men both loyal and true. We have the men who will dare and do. Win the medals, and go on past — Conquering the rest, advancing fast. Philomatheans are we. bis every man for the black and gold. There at the front of the fray we ' ll hold.

In meeting and overcoming this opposition she has found her true source of strength: We would not boast of having conquered in every battle, hut feel proud of the fact that each trumpet call has found all of her members ready and from the sun ike of all conflicts they have emerged with Loyalty plainly visible in their faces. Representatives from our ranks have nol only acquitted themselves with honor hut have wen their share of the gold medals offered ; ' t ( ' ommencement. Until this year we have been more or less handicapped for a place to meet. Last fall we met for the first time in our beautiful ball on the first floor of the Ep- worth Gymnasium. This hall is amply supplied with those things essential in an up-to-date Society hall. The chief aim of this Society is to give each man who enters her ranks the best possible equipment for life ' s battles, to provide a place where the prin- ciples taught in the class rooms ma)- he put into practice. No organization can long exist unless it meets the needs of those connected with it. We have not simply existed but have grown and are stronger today than at any time during the past. Despite her youth, this Society has men in the Florida Conference and Van- derbilt Cniversitv. and other places, who are making records worthy of her. ( )ur motto is Excellence, and. striving to reach this ideal, we anticipate no failures. ur colors are gold and black and the sight of these sends through our souls a thrill something akin to that insnired in the heart of every true patriot by the sight of • ' ( )ld Glory. The word Philomathean interpreted, means The lover of knowledge. This is a characteristic of each member, and when we have said good-bye to our dear oh] Alma Mater we cannot, after all these years of training, forget that we are in every sense of the word Philomatheans. Under the colors, black and gold You may find the true and bold. Seek wisdom, said one of gl ' d. And no one is surer of the truth he told. When with the front rank we emerge with fame. The chief joy then will lie. we ' ve honored the name. P.u ' l A. Fletcher. m IWOIIIGIATL DEBATERS 12. Ml ' Jgcilty Debate QiAMPIOX When the girls of the Erolethean and Sigma Delta societies challenged the boys of the I ' hilomathean and Phi Sigma societies for a public debate, they did not expect a walk-over. The young gentlemen have debates weekly in their societies, while the girls confine themselves to essays, readings and music. But the girls chose as their champions two who are gold medalists in oratorical con- tests, and felt that their side would be ably represented. n the evening of .March r6th, the young ladies, in well-chosen words, clearly presented many reasons why the right of suffrage should not be extended to women. They even anticipated and answered some of the arguments of their opponents. Contrary to general expectations, they did not once descend to the ridiculous or trivial, hut advanced only valid, logical reasons in support of their side, handling the grave questions bearing upon this issue so as to display wide study and thorough preparation. The judges hut voiced the sentiment of the entire audience when they unanimously voted that the young ladies had submitted the best arguments. Their societies are proud of them, and hereby express their thanks and appreciation. ■MM 113 Athletic Officers. Athletic Association ( (FFICERS. P. A. Fletcher ------ - - President H. W.

Dutill Athletics It has been no easy task to make the pace set by the teams of 1909 and 10, which were the first to represent us in games with the other colleges of the State, for they easily won the championship in both basket ball and base ball. In basket ball, the title has never been disputed, and needless would it have been this year, because our team excelled any we have ever had. in many respects. Though with little experience at the opening of the season, not a member of last year ' s team being present, they soon proved what diligent practice will do for the capable. In base ball, Burelson for the third time demonstrated that he could develop a team of heavy hitters, and this is what it takes to win. To accommodate a sister college, our season opened at least two weeks earlier than we desired, and, as a result, we gained but few games in that time. However, our record is not one to be ashamed of. In fact, we are very proud of the boys who have represented us, and also proud of the record they have made for us. The spirit of fair play, of manly sport, and of excellence in body as well as mind, is growing, and as they tend to develop friendship and encourage co-opera- tion, at the same time they prevent the vices which flourish where wholesome em- ployment is denied. If we are to take our achievements, in the present limited conditions, as a prophecy of what Greater Southern will mean, our encouragement must grow into enthusiasm. Prof. McMullen is still acting as manager for all teams, and getting the thanks for all our victories and defeats. But we are glad that the feeling that the teams are ours is growing, and that every member of the school is showing his willingness to help to bring victory our way. Plans are now on foot by which our athletics mav be on a surer financial basis another vear. 115 Base Ball Van Landingham, c. Wicker, lb. Conrad, 2b. MacReynoldSj ss. Lawler. 3b. Bryan, 1. f.

Their faithful and efficient Captain, Miss Coxe, lias taken great interest in procuring games, and she has done her full share in winning all those in which she has participated. She has made a fine record as a forward, her goal throwing being a feature of every game. A I i ss Ship]), the other forward, has won for herself, as well as Miss Coxe, an excellent reputation as a first class player of the game. The way she dodged the opposing guards was noticed and applauded In ' all. Good guarding is a very important part of the game. Xo matter how good the forwards may he. if the guards are poor, there is little chance of victory. In this respect Southern College Basket Ball Team was very fortunate indeed to have Miss Collins and Miss Barker fill these places. Having excellent guards like these, there is little clanger of losing a goal, even if the ball happens to pass to the opposite end of the court. The principal duty of the centers is to pass the ball; and speaking of passing the ball. Misses Conrad and Cason are unexcelled. ( In account of the strict rules concerning the lines, it is a very difficult matter to do this passing unless it be an experienced player. Another reason why the girls won every game was the way they played together. No matter how good the places may be filled, if the players do not work together, they are sure to lose. 120 ■■H td Girls ' Physical Culture Class. ■i Bovs ' Gymnasium Class. I Want to Go I {.irk to S. C. ( An A. B. ' s Lament. ) My thoughts this day are of a place far away. Full of memories so precious to me. In a Southland grown, of clays that have flown, Of a happier used to be. As never before I long to live o ' er All those sweet days, so happy and free. Oh. I want to s:o back to S. C. I want to go back to the school in the pines. Which to-day sweet memory recalls. And again I would look in each cranny and nook, And wander amid its spacious halls With Xita at my side, my room-mate and my pride. I would stroll as happy as could be ( n the cam] ins, or the dock — our arms we would lock. Oh, I want to go back to S. C. Ah, to wander again on the campus at dusk. Hand in hand with the girl I love ; ( )h, to stand by the gate, in the dim twilight late, Would be as a joy sent from above. I I ;ar the chirps in the trees and feel the fresh salt breeze Yes, just as it used to be. Or to sit with the folks on the steps and tell jokes. Oh, I want to be back in S. C. I want to go back to the o ' .d rising bell. Hear it ring as it used to do. With its dreary old lay, Come, get up right away. Or there ' ll be no breakfast for you. Then I want to lie still and just snooze for a spell, Till the last bell rings us to be In a hurry and a Hurry, in a scamper and a scurry. I want to be back in S. C. I want to go back to chapel once more And sit there in the same old seat; The old piano bear, as it rings out so clear In melody mellow and sweet, And sing Love Divine or I ' m Wholly Thine, Or the familiar More Love to Thee. A Bible lesson hear by our President dear. Oh, I want to aro back to S. C. 124 I want to go back on some Monday night. To visit dear old Erolethean Hall ; Again sit at my place with a proud, happy face. To hear each member answer to roll call ; To hear a good debate, or by a speech relate E. L. S. principles as they will ever be Of victories won, of work to be done. Oh, ves, I do want to s:o back to S. C. I want to have a trunk social And sit there as I used to do In plain sight; yes, under the light. Feeling happy thru and thru. And I want to chat about this and that ( ) happy gone-by, you can never more be I And prattle and pout till Connie comes out. And says, Good-night, son, the time ' s up, you see. I want to walk on the dock once more. Leading out to Pig Isle, the gem ! Many scenes of a spread, where we ate till most dead : Those jolly days, , I long for them! And to plow across the serene old bay. Off to the light-house for another beach day. Yes, happy days those were to me, On the beach we ' d dream and walk, feast, steal away and talk. Oh, I want to go back to S. C. Does the mocking bird still sing by my window in the So sweetly each morn before daylight ? Does the perfumed breeze from the magnolia trees Kiss the inmates of our corner room bright? Do the palms rustle low as they did long ago? Bamboos still wave by the Eucalvptus tree? Do the co-eds. still rove in the little pine grove? Oh, I do want to go back to S. C. Do the birds that now hop in the camphor tree top Ever breathe a sad sung for me? Do the girls who now walk thru the halls ever talk Of the times as they used to be? Do they know that some day when they are far away. That they will sigh and weep with me ; With me they will long for the clays that are gone. And thev ' ll want to  o back to S. C. ? 125 I saw Van. what ' s that you have in your hands? It looks remarkably like that big white cat of your wife ' s that she used to be so fond of. Van Cort started at the sound of the voice, but looked again at the object he held, a large white cat, now showing signs of life, before he put it down and turned to shake the hand of Dick Resslar, who had, with the freedom of old acquaintance, entered his laboratory without notice. Hello, Dick; when did you blow in? The last time I heard of you. you were in Alaska gold hunting. I ' m here on a flying trip, and of course I came to see you as soon as possible after arriving: but look at that cat, he ' s getting up. Van Cort crossed the room and poured out a saucer of milk, which the animal lapped hungrily when it was set before him. Resslar, who was watching the scene closely, said: It ' s the very image of old Bubaslis, your wife ' s pet which disappeared, nearly ten years ago it is now; where did you get him? It is Bubaslis, or ' Hub, ' as we called him, said Van Cort. But if Bub were living he would be nearly fifteen years old, and that cat isn ' t half of that : besides, Rub disappeared. It is Hub, though, said his friend with a chuckle; sit down and I ' ll tell you about it ; there are the cigars. Resslar looked at his friend intently, hut. except for a slight air of repressed excitement, could detect nothing unusual about him. though bis storv about the cat before him being Bub was plainly a fairy tale, so he gave his attention to the careful lighting of a cigar while he waited for Van Cort to begin. You always laughed at me for my interest in hypnotism and medicines, said Van. Well, after I left college and began practicing medicine here in New York, 126 ■ I dropped all notice of such things, for because of the fraud and trickery con- tinually practiced by those who professed a knowledge of it, 1 could not afford to be mixed up with it. However. 1 believed there was something in it. as would one day be discovered, so 1 kept up my studies secretly. That cat there is the result of my experiments and the proof of my theories. Cats, you know, are more sensitive than any other creature, to psychic influences, except man. Bu- baslis was a particularly intelligent animal, and I often made use of him in my experiments, hypnotizing him and impressing on his brain the idea of awaking at the end of a certain period, then causing him to pass into a cataleptic trance, during which he was apparently dead but for a very slight respiration, lie inva- riably awoke at the designated time, and five years ago I decided on my grand experiment; you see the results of it now. I hypnotized the cat, with the idea of waking at the end of five years definitely fixed on his mind. 1 made him pass into the final stage. In this stage the entire body, except the lungs ami heart, is dormant: they work very slowly, so slowly that but little energy is needed to support life. Bubaslis has been sleeping for five years, and except that he is a little thin, he is none the worse for the experience. A low chuckle came from Resslar as he rose, which broke into a laugh as he said: A capital yarn, old man; come on. the dinner ' s on me. A slight frown creased Van Cort ' s brow as be said: Wait a minute. I ' m serious. Still laughing. Resslar stopped, but at the expression on the face before him. he frowned slightly, then Van Cort laughed and said. No, I ' m not crazy, il ; i does sound like it. Let me show you something. Drawing a key from his pocket, he unlocked a door at one side of the room and entered it, Resslar following wonderingly. They stopped beside a small glass case, through the sides of which could he seen the body of a cat in a perfect state of preservation. What have you done, embalmed him? asked Resslar, as he examined the case and found it securely, sealed. And what is this, a feline mausoleum? for on all sides of the room could be seen cases similar to the one beside them, and in each was the body of a cat. Van Cort only motioned to him to look closer at the one beside them. Resslar looked for a few minutes intently, and then said. That is clever work. I could almost swear I saw its chest move a little. You did, said Van Cort. That cat is alive, and so is every one in this room. But the case is sealed, protested Resslar. What are these substances in either end? Come back and sit down and I ' ll explain. said Van Cort. Those alum-like crystals which you saw at one end are a compound which I discovered, as I also did the liquid at the other end. The crystals, when exposed to the air. very slowly 127 give off oxygen, of which it is principally composed. The liquid at the other end absorhs carbon dioxide when it is present and forms a crystal. The cat, while in a trance, breathes very slowly, requiring a very small amount of oxygen and giving off but a minute quantity of carbon dioxide. This is removed by the liquid and oxygen supplied as needed by the crystals. I have been working to determine the time that life can be sustained under these conditions, and have found that for the average cat it is twelve years; that is, there is sufficient energy stored away to sustain life for that period. That doesn ' t seem possible, even if the other is true. said Resslar. Tt is, however, as I have proven conclusively. With an animal of greater muscular development the period would be longer. For a man it would be about one hundred and twenty-five years. For an exceptionally vigorous one, such as yourself, about one hundred and fifty. Hut come, let us have dinner. After dinner. Van Cort was called away and the friends agreed to meet at dinner the next evening. After dinner the following evening they sat at their carefully secluded table in a corner of the cafe, listening to the dreamy strains i if a hidden orchestra. Van Cort talked gaily of old times, but Resslar paid little heed, sitting quiet and toying absent-mindedly with his glass. Finally Van Cort drooped his jaunty tone and asked, What is the matter, old man; is it Grace? T was afraid you were staying away too long. Yes, it ' s Grace, and T did stay away too long, said Resslar. It was her letter that brought me back. I saw her last night. She and voting Ingrahm will announce their engagement soon, for she only waited to be released from me to give him his answer. I stayed away up there in Alaska trying to find my bag of gold at the end of the rainbow till I lost her love. It ' s nearly three years now since T went up there swearing I wouldn ' t come back till T could match dollars with that old skinflint dad of hers. Then the subject was dropped, for Van Cort realized the bitterness of sympathy offered at such a time. The talk drifted round to science and the probable achievements of the future. I wish T could live to see what the next generation will do, said Van Cort at the conclusion. So do I. said Resslar. Then Van Cort went home and Resslar returned to his hotel. The next afternoon Resslar came around to his friend ' s office with a curiously mixed air of eagerness and sadness. After a few minutes of commonplaces. Resslar aid, You remember our talk the other day about your experiments. Well, last night, after you left, while 1 was thinking of scientific progress as we had been discussing it. a remark of yours came into my mind. You said under conditions similar to the ones in which your cats are placed, a man would live for one hundred and twenty-five years : a very strong man. such as myself, a hundred and fifty. 126 Yes, said Van Cort, eyeing the tall athletic figure before him, toughened by the hard, clean life of the far North. You should be good for a hundred and fifty easily. But what are you driving at? This, said Resslar. I thought when you were talking about what would be done in the next hundred years, that 1 would rather live then than now. My parents are dead; I have no near relatives, and now that I ' ve lost Grace, you are the only person who knows me well or who is interested in me. 1 want you to do for me what you did for that cat. You are crazy to think of it. said his friend. No, I ' m not; it ' s like this: I ' m no despondent grouch who wants to commit suicide, but life doesn ' t hold very much for me now. I want to live, but 1 would rather live a hundred years from now than in the present. Van Cort was horrified but as they talked his scientific nature was aroused ami at last he yielded to his friend ' s urging and consented. Resslar said goodbye to his few friends, telling them he was off for a longer trip than usual and didn ' t know when he would return. He then went to Van Cort ' s laboratory where preparations were in progress for the step he was about to take. Two large cases, one of steel with a massive cover and a smaller one of heavy glass were made and there in readiness. Compartments were fixed in either end of the glass case to hold the required amount of the two substances needed to sustain life for the period they had decided on, one hundred years. These were filled and Resslar was hypnotized and the idea of awakening at the end of one hundred years carefully impressed and then Van Cort caused him to pass into a cataleptic state. Pale and trembling from the nervous strain Van Cort lifted his friend into the glass case and set about sealing down the lid, for as it was to be secret he must attend to all the work himself. After this was done he lifted the case by means of a contrivance of ropes and pulleys and lowered it into the carefully padded steel case. He then set about fastening the lid of that down by means of clamps provided for the purpose. Before swinging it into place however he placed inside a letter addressed to the Mayor of Xew York in which he set down all the particulars of the case. When the lid was fastened the case was carried to the vaults of the Knicker Bocker Trust Co. and deposited there with the notice that at the end of one hundred years, the period its storage was paid for, that it should be carried to the Mayor ' s office and there be opened in the presence of the city officials. On the morning of the I2th of July. 2012. Miss Helen Ritche ' s curiosity was roused to the highest pitch. That mo rning had come a letter from the presi- dent of the Knicker Bocker Trust Co. informing her of a huge steel case which had been deposited in the institution one hundred years before with instructions that on that date it should be carried to the mayor ' s office and there opened in the 129 presence of the mayor and the city officials. Summoning the officials she waited for their coming ' . Meanwhile the case was brought in and a smith was sent for to open the mysterious box. I [e removed the lid amid a silence which was truly remarkable for -nch a gathering, for not only was the mayor a woman but so were everyone of the officials. The lid was finally removed. Within was the envelope addressed to the mayor, which .Miss K ' itche opened and read aloud, giving the officials the tacts ot the case. The glass box was now l ifted out ami carried to a nearby hospital where it was opened and Resslar lifted out and placed in bed. Later on in the day. acting on the suggestion imprinted on his brain by Van Cort one hundred years before, he again became conscious and opened his eyes. The first thing of which Resslar thought when lie opened his eyes, was the Sun- day Supplement of the newspapers, for every one of the nurses whose faces he saw framed in the dainty white nurse ' s cap, wore something which resembled to a great degree the much cartooned harem skirt with which he was familiar, except at the bottom of each leg there was a Huffy lace-like frill. As he gazed closer at the faces above him the horrified conviction was borne into his consciousness that every one of these nurses were men. there was not a woman in sight. A few days later when he had recovered his strength and control of himself he received a note asking him to call at the mayor ' s office which he did immediate- ly. And what a sight met his astounded eyes! As he was ushered into the room, it was a sight to daunt the bravest and cause everyone who was not a total ab- stainer to believe he was seein things. Leaning back in a swivel chair was a tall, dark young woman clad in bloom- ers and smoking a long black cigar; at a table near the desk a plump, blonde young man pounded furiously away on a type-writer, and shuddered as the draft created by the opening of the door gave him the full benefit of a whiff of the cigar the young lady was smoking. Ah! Mr. Resslar. [ believe, said the young lady as she rose and extended her hand, (dad to see you. Yours is a unique case and has aroused much interest in the city. 1 suppose we are equally strange to you hut you will easily become ac- customed to the new order. ' Acs, it is strange. 1 have seen but little as yet but 1 shall go over the city now and see if anything remains with which 1 am familiar, said Resslar. I shall be delighted to provide an escort. she said. An escort. ' he repeated in surprise. Certainly; you do not intend to go about the city unaccompanied by a female companion. I presume. I shall be delighted to take you around myself when I have The men ' s suffrage movement is assuming 130 time, but just now 1 am very busy. ■ alarming- proportions and must be handled. 1 shall be glad to have you take din- ner with me this evening and meet my parents. My mother is one of the political leaders of my party, and now good morning. ' and she turned and began dictating to the young man at the typewriter. Resslar left the office in a very puzzled frame .if mind. When he had lived before those who tried to be funny had drawn absurd pictures of conditions which would come about when woman ruled as they declared she inevitably would but the reality was even worse than the wildest of their fancies. That evening he dined at the mayor ' s home and at the close of the dinner in- stead of the women rising and leaving the men to their cigars and stories, it was the men who retired. Later in the evening Miss Ritche suggested that he would appear much belter if he would clothe himself as those about him did. The next day, not wishing to make himself conspicuous, he called in a tailor to take his measure and make garments for him similar to those worn by other men. } on must have some stays, sir. said the tailor, without a corset it is impos- sible to make the costume set well and although rather large you have a very at- tractive figure which should be shown off to the best advantage. A knock at the door brought from Resslar the invitation to come in and Mr. Ritche. the father of the mayor entered. He was a lively old gentleman, clad in a costume of pea green trimmed in old rose. The tailor having completed his business, retired and the two men sat down for a confidential chat during which Mr. Ritche discussed existing conditions and Resslar alternately laughed and groaned. The women were in full control, held all the offices and the men were not even allowed to vote but were made to stay at home and superintend the house- hold and care for the children. They were interrupted by .Mrs. Ritche who was after her husband. He was a gad-a-bout and his irate lord and mistress gave him a thorough scolding. A few days later Resslar was walking down the street with the mayor win. was smoking. Rassler drew a cigar from his pocket and started to light it but stopped at the indignant protest of Miss Ritche. What ' s the row? he asked in surprise. Sir. she said, have you no respect for yourself or regard for the law either? ' No gentleman would so far forget his modesty as to smoke in public and beside there is a statute which provides thirty days in the work house for such an offense. He was still puzzling over the topsy-turvy world in which he had wakened when Mr. Ritche called to see him and after pledging him to secrecy unfolded a plan, the program of the .Men ' s Suffrage Movement and asked Resslar to take an active part. He consented and on the appointed date mass meetings, parades and 131 speeches were held all over the country. The police interfered and lucked then ' ! up by the wholesale but the campaign fur men ' s rights was mi in earnest. Miss Ritche had displayed admiration for Air. Resslar from the first but it increased as she watched his determined fight and though they differed on this she began to spend more and more time in his company. One day Resslar and a fellow sneaker were arrested at one of their m;i meeting ' s by an irate police officer with a coppery nose and fog horn voice. She carried them to the police station and there Resslar was visited by Miss Ritche. who. touched by his plight, offered to discharge the case, and hastened by her pity declared her love for him and proposed. At this last supreme reversal of things Resslar ' s sense of the ridiculous overcame him and he laughed. Rising haughtily from her knees the mayor strode from the room and sentenced Resslar to thirty days ' solitary confinement. Love is much the same everywhere and any time. After his release he was again approached by Miss Ritche who paid assiduous court to him and at last he felt the dawning of a tender passion within his own breast and when .Mis-, Ritche proposed again he accepted her. Seating herself in a large chair in the dimly lighted parlor she besought him to come to her and be her own sweet pet. ' ' While he might give up in most things, however there were a few which he was determined to do in his own way and this was one of them so he made her get up and sat down himself and held out his arms to her. She stood regarding him with a puzzled frown for a few minutes. Truly he was curious. He wanted to do so main- things backwards, but she de- cided, loving was loving if be did do it when it was her place to, so she seated herself in his lap and then was heard the sound of the one thing woman couldn ' t change — a kiss !

This club has been accused of many mysterious things; of course, we were guilty of none, but we have hard times making the faculty agree with us. This club was organized to train its members in various wavs. according to the office they hold. Mr. Sellars, our scout, is recognized as being one of the best, if not the best, at school.

In fact nothing did, unless it was an occasional illness which prevented her from playing basket-ball or taking a morning ride upon her Mexican pony. Her family name. Corbyn, was little known among her acquaintances; so she never used it anywhere except at the post-office. Little Miss Bill she was called, and Little Miss Hill she was. And if some would speak that could, they would tell you that the word Little was the biggest word in the English language, — when it referred to her. Little Miss Bill was impetuous, Little Miss Bill was pretty, and further. Little Miss Bill was a girl who always had her own way about things, and no one disputed her right; either; hut if one did — but that would be another story. Most people found out that her ways were their ways. That is the reason every one liked her. for they thought as she thought without knowing that she made them do so. However, at the present time Little Miss Bill is in the gym struggling with a basket-ball. I ' ll bet ni) ' chafing dish that you go in the basket this time, she said with a look at the ball which made it tremble in her hands. Now, go in, 1 say! she said, stooping low and makinig a straight shoot for the basket. In answer to her command, the ball struck the side of the basket, wavered a few seconds at the top, and then obediently crept through the netting into her eager, waiting hands below. Ilere you go, Florence, she called, giving the ball a quick under-hand swing to the nearest player. — too quick for the receiver, for it struck her on the head, spilling a few combs from her hair and a few exclamations from her mouth. The former were gracefully restored to her hair, and the latter permeated through- i mt the gym. O. let ' s quit practicing. said Little Bill. And discuss dresses. suggested Florence. ( ). I ' d rather talk about the teachers, chimed Kitty Williams ' , the basket- ball team ' s center. We ' ll do nothing of the kind. said Little Miss Bill, with an air of finality ; we will discuss boys, those White and Blue Boys. Since we are failed ' The Maids of the Mountains, ' why not call them ' The Bails of the Blue Ridge ' ? Agreed ! exclaimed all the girls in a chorus. First! First! cried Florence. Bet me talk first. Well, talk on. Miss Polly Parrot, said Little Miss Bill, with a wave of her d. Why — why, I ' ve forgotten — ( , yes! It ' s about that new student up there, Victor Bruce is his name. Clarence, my brother, you know, was telling me about him. Lie — Sure it wasn ' t Johnny Clarke telling you? interrupted one of the girls. No, it wasn ' t, either. rejoined Florence, blushing furiously. Or it may have been, too. she added, with a defiant toss of her blond head. Anyhow, go on. urged Kitty. Anyhow, continued Florence, he told me that this Victor Bruce was the sensation of the season, — big, handsome, and rich. All the girls over there are 155 hand. crazy about him, but he merely plays with them. He is very peculiar, never agreeing with anything a girl says to him and casting her off if she agrees too enthusiastically with him. Something like Little Bill here, I suppose, lie ' s dashing, jolly, a great athlete, and nearly of your Western traits, eh — Little Bill? Bill under the chin. Yes. but go on, Florence; I ' m actua Well, replied Florence, resignedly he needs is a girl of the same type ti conquer him, and that girl is you Bill ! What do you say ? ives on a horse, they say. Some more said Florence, gently pinching Little ly interested, chirped Little Bill that ' s about all there is to it. What Little ' Fine! shouted Little Bill, ecstatically snapping her fingers; I will do it! How perfectly grand. voiced all the girls, thinking that a romance would he unearthed. Now, how can we manage it? asked Little Bill eagerly. Very easy, said Florence, in a matter-of-fact tone. It is his custom to take early morning rides, and he always goes over the same road — the one leading here. In fact he came all the way over here one morning, hut did not come up around the Seminary. Now, listen. Little Bill, all you have to do is to ride out on the Mountain road instead of your usual path, and you will probably meet him. We can offer you no suggestions after you meet him, for you are an adept in controlling situations, — and causing them, too. I tremble for the result when these two like forces come in conflict, inter- polated Kitty Williams, as she rose to her feet, preparatory to leaving. Never worry, replied Little Bill, tossing her head with security, I ' d like to see him manage me! Same here, if you look at him like that, said Florence wisely. Making a low bow, followed by a sweep of her arms over her head, to her interested classmates, Little Bill exclaimed: Mes Amies, a .Maid of the .Moun- tains salutes you and beg- ' to inform you that to-morrow she will ride forth to meet and conquer, — a Lad of the I Hue Ridge! PART TW( ). The morning was bright and clear, ushering in the summer breezes. Little Miss Bill had been galloping for perhaps an hour without seeing any signs of the enemy. I am over half way now, she murmured, and I will go no further, fr must be too early for the Lad of the Blue Ridge. She slowly turned her pony towards the Seminary, letting him choose his own gait, a canter. Little Bill was occupied with visions, dreams and scenes by the wayside. I wonder what I will do when I meet him? she mused, then smiled know- ingly. Evidently she had a plan. Suddenly she looked ahead of her, for the sound of hoofs came to her ears. A rider was approaching. Little Bill ' s face shone with the hope of battle. That surely is he. said she quietly, lie must have taken another route or passed me in town. She immediately spurred her pony forward to a run, allowing the rein to dangle about her neck. Little Bill ' s face took on a frightened expression, and when she had dashed near enough to hail the enemy, she cried with terror: Save me! Stop the pony! Save me! 156 _ -. But she was onto him before he realized her presence, and like lightning had shot past, leaving to him the memory of a most beautiful, terror-ridden face. and a cloud of dust. Instantly he turned his steed, urging him to do his utmost, and the pursuit was on in earnest. A mile was covered and still he did not gain; so Victor Bruce, lately of the West, was cursing the Eastern mounts and wishing for his own little charger, now grazing in Oklahoma, when he noticed that the girl ' s pony was slowing down. Faster, faster, he urged his steed. They were now in sight of the town and the Seminary could be seen in the distance. Steadily the would-be hero gained until he was within a few yards of the poor girl, — when the poor girl cleverly caught the dangling rein, spurred the pony into faster action, and — what! Yes, she was laughingly and haughtily waving at the would-be hero, — but her enemy, — a tiny lace handkerchief ! Victor Bruce stopped and swore, then turned toward home; Little Bill waved and smiled, then galloped in t o an early breakfast. The enemies were now at war, and the first battle had been fought. Elabo- rate plans were made that day and night by both principals. Little Bill held a council of war with her friends, who — after the first scrimmage — were eager for the outcome. Victor Bruce did not enjoy the advice of a council, for he was afraid to acknowledge his defeat on account of the tauntings of his chums. Anyhow, he had decided to ride again into the territory of the enemy, and — well, he ' d wait until he had met her first. Little Bill had also told her council that she would take the same road that she had on the previous morning. So each was anxious to know what the other would do, for it was realized that they were enemies of strength, of resource. Galloping leisurely along. neither was surprised to notice the approach of the other. Simultaneously the two mounts came to a walk, and as they came opposite. Victor Bruce drew in his rein, snatched off his cap, smiled, and with a bow so profuse that it reeked with mockery, exclaimed : I bring you the glories of the morn. The sun ' s light, the waving of the flowers, the flow of yonder rivulet stop in their course to welcome and pay their homage to you. Accept them from my hands, () glorious maid! I beg your pardon, sir. Do you intend to insult a girl, alone and unpro- tected? calmly asked Little Bill, with cheeks aflame. Not at all. Pardon. .Mademoiselle. Would I insult an angel? Certainly not. Then, how could 1 insult you? On the contrary. O glorious maid, I offer von my life for your protection. Why — But Little Bill interrupted him with a gesture of impatience and disgust. I a ccept your life. Monsieur Apollo, and I command that you take it out of my sight. ' Yonder flowing rivulet ' and ' waving flower ' are jealous of your presence. You mock me, fair maid. Impossible; I honor your majesty, said Little Bill, striking her little foot with her riding crop. Tell me why you treated me so after I tried to aid you yesterday, said Victor, trying to change the subject. 1 do not understand you, sir. easily lied Little Bill. What! You don ' t pretend not to remember about a runaway; you don ' t. — and here, with main- gestures, he related the entire escapade of yesterday. You are mistaken: 1 know nothing whatever about this affair. still main- tained Little Bill, with a straight face. So. then, you mean to tell me that I was dreaming? he laughed affably. 157 Yes. you were dreaming, affirmed Little Bill ' . Dreaming ' of you, then: only of you, smiled Victor, pocket.

That you are from the West, your name Victor Bruce, rich, handsome, firm. a student, and a crank on the subject of demonstrative replies from women. You disagree with every one except yourself and — You, supplied Victor. Little Hill was breathless, but still she flared: O, I know you. You do me a great honor. earnestly said Victor.

Victor envied it. its proximity to — to, but listen. Little Bill is speaking : Good old Dixie! Lid you speak, honored sir? — to Victor. What ' s the use. I actually believe that you read my thoughts.

Hut thank God that there is one me of it. who is fearless and strong enough to tell What do you s ay now j That I adore you, Victor responded with quickness and earnestness. And I despise him, don ' t I. Dixie? Good old Dixie: I do love you. Victor was watching Little Bill closely, every move she made, every flutter of her hair in the breeze. She was patting and stroking Dixie, with affection beaming in her eyes. Again her lips were twitched in a smile, her eyes sparkled with amusement as she reached forward and tenderly grasped Dixie ' s forelock and swung her head around. Dixie looked up and whimpered in response to her mistress ' touch of tenderness. We do hate him now. don ' t we, Dixie, — dear? And she deliberately winked at Dixie as she said this. Victor Bruce gave a start. I lis face assumed a new expression, — one of joy, satisfaction, of hope. The mounts were side by side. Slowly Victor sin ink his head in hesitation, then throwing discretion to the winds, he quickly leaned over and laid his hand gently on the arm of Little Bill. Little Bill, he murmured; Little Bill! What do you mean, sir? she flashed indignantly, withdrawing her arm; but her pony, impelled by the neighborly whinny of Victor ' s mount, took a step in his direction, — and Little Bill did not attempt to check her ! For several minutes Little Bill and Victor Bruce eyed each other, — the one with assumed scorn, the other with — with — wdiat shall I say? Love? No; adoration ! Then Little Bill laughed, Victor stared and the burses neighed friendly. creeping closer together. Victor at last broke the silence: Well, Little Bill— Well, ' Little Lad of the I Hue Ridge ' ? mimicked Little Bill. The breezes are blowing , everywhere nature is manifested by her infinite beauties and mysteries; all are singing of you. And are you a part of nature? Little Bill asked mischievously. Yes. Then join in the singing, she --aid with a smile. My song is, T love you, ' I — What funny words! All, — everything, sings of my love for you! he cried eagerly. Why, I ' m not singing. No, but you will. Little Bill, won ' t you? You love me, vou say, Vic — Victor? Yes. Are you sure? Yes; I— Mold on, Little Bill interrupted; will you learn to agree affably with me. with my peculiar ways, you think? I worship vou. and your ways are my ways, he said humbly; 1 will do your bidding. You acknowledge, then — I acknowledge that you are the first person in the world who made me do things I did not want to do, if that ' s what you want. What were vou going to ask me? said Little Bill, naively. Ask you? Why — let me — see, he murmured. 159 Ml m m HHI How soon you have forgotten! she exclaimed, throwing back her head and laughing at his discomfiture. You, you don ' t mean. Little Bill, you don ' t mean that you — I — , ( , say! and here his face was a puzzle, alternating with smiles and clouds. Little Bill smiled reassuringly into his face. She tendered him a look of trust, of admiration, of — Victor flushed, and understood. — in his smile he acknowledged that he was conquered. Quickly his two strong arms were extended in entreaty. Dear Little Bill, he pleaded: Dear Little Hill! She made no answer. Quietness reigned — hut not supreme — for she laid her small, white hand in his outstretched palm, and looked into his eves with mutual understanding. Neither spoke a word to break the solemn stillness. Slowly the mounts were turned, and the Lad of the Line Ridge and the Maid of the Mountains rode hand in hand toward the Holy Land of Happiness. tTHELLO. 160 warn The Class of 1911 Response to a toast by the class president. Mr. J. LI. Griffith, at the Alumni banquet : ou will excuse my egotism, 1 hope, if egotism it is, when I say that the newly fledged members of the Alumni Association, the infants of 1911, form a class second to none that has ever gone out from the halls of old Southern. Yet, fearing that that expression of blissful ignorance which Dr. Aloore so quickly discovered upon our faces may mislead you, I will endeavor to give a short, impressive and interesting sketch of our class. We did not all enter Sout hern at one time. No, we came by ones and twos, always being careful to give the professors time to recover one shock before introducing more raw material. So you see, that as a class, we have been edu- cated on the installment plan. It was about the time that Ponce de Leon was searching for The Fountain of Youth that the patriarch of our class, Mr. Evans, entered. In justice to Mr. Evans, however, I wish to say that he did not spend all this time in pursuing his college course, but part was consumed in going through the horrors of the Academy. The next near, to cheer his lonesomeness, our charming elocutionist. Miss Fussell, entered. They say that now-a-days she is at her best in giving recitals by the moonlight to an audience of one. Be that as it may, upon her left hand is a diamond ring given her by her — brother. The next year. Southern ' s star mathematician. Patterson, mapped out his course from the red hills of Leon to the college town of Hillsborough. About the same time, sweet, plaintive notes fell upon the pine-scented air of Sutherland. and Miss Sellers, our musician, joined us. The Faculty was noticeably quieter after she entered. ' Tis said that music hath power to soothe the savage beast. In the fall of 1908 Jobson and I entered, green, ardent, perspiring. Enough ! cried the Faculty. But every sorrow has its corresponding joy, and in Lyoy Miss Plunkett, sweet girl graduate of St. Petersburg, joined us, and startled even the stoics by her brilliancy. And now I have told you of the class of 1911. Yes, we are proud of her. .Among the fair sex of the class you will find the leading scholar of the college, the leading elocutionist, and the leading musician. Among the boys, we find the leading mathematician, the leader in Christian work, the leader in the realms of Cupid, while the fourth is pursuing a course that leads no one knows where. Last, but not least, our class holds seven gold medals, a most remarkable fact. But enough of self-praise. We are glad to join you this evening. We will enjoy the change of diet. For long weary months we ' ve dined on mathematics, We have drunk the cup of Greek; The Doctor gave us sermons. We took them by the week. We ' ve slept on beds of English. Rode ponies on the sly. And now the time has come When to these we say good-bye. The year is done, The fight is won, 1 to, Seniors. TIo! Now eat in glee, For you are free. Go, Seniors, go !

Our interest centers naturally. m tlie institution of learning: but we must not overlook the surroundings which make the institution possible. At the same time we feel that those whose sons and daughters are enrolled in S. C. Ranks should know more of their environment. To the e ends, therefore, is the point of this article directed; to these ends, also, are il- lustrations of points of interest about the city furnished. Sutherland was laid out in 1887 by the Sutherland Land and Improvement Co. of Omaha and Lincoln. Xeb., about one thousand acres of finest, high, pine, orange land in Florida is embraced in its town site. It is about five miles from Tarpon Springs, where are the richest sponge fisheries in the world, and about twenty-five miles from Tampa. It is situated on a high pine ridge on the Gulf Coast of Florida, and is from its location free from the searching and ex- asperating northers. ' Neither swamps nor low, marshy land can be found within its borders, consequently malaria is unknown. So beautiful is the location that Sutherland has justly been styled the Peerless Princess of the Gulf. This stately pine forest without underbrush, reminds one of an old English park; and the land, from the margin of the Gulf rises gradually for a mile or more from the water, reaching an elevation of about eighty feet, and retaining this altitude to the shores of Lake Butler, some four miles further east. The present population of Sutherland is small, nor is it likely to become a large city, on account of its proximity to Tampa. This, however is rather an advantage for a college student for there are not so many diversions to draw his attention from his studies. Picturesque Sutherland, nestling in the shady pines, in view of the placid wat- ers of the Gulf and in the center of a rich orange belt can boast of, besides the college with its many buildings, a few good stores, pretty dwellings, post office, ex- press and telegraph offices which furnish conveniences for her residents and stu- dents. It is a place where summer recreations run through the winter, where roses bloom in December, January and February, and one may hear the daily song of the mocking bird. So healthfully located is Sutherland that students who are un- able to attend school in the North during the winter months find it possible to pursue their studies here regularly and. constantly improve in health. The religious influences the town casts her motto being For Cod and Truth. about the student are most beneficial. The teachers of the college are Christian men and women and every effort is made to promote a healthy moral and spiritual life among the students. Attendance upon the divine service on the Sabbath is required of all students, and all may find a church home. ( hie of the special features of Sutherland is the purity and sweetness of its atmosphere, both social and moral. Taken altogether, Sutherland presents many, many advantages to the student, main- safeguards for the parent and in fact is an ideal location for an institution of learning. 170 . £ Who ' s Who?

We stand highest on the Roll of Honor of any Bank in the State — either National or State — as published by The Financier, of New York. We have no lawsuit nor judg- ment, neither have we any assets taken for debt. Remember, this bank was the first to encourage savings deposits and has paid its depositors over $165,000.00, and has enabled many to build a home. We have done more than all the banks combined in this City to help people build homes, and we are now building a new home for the Bank, where we hope to welcome our old friends and many new ones. With our Capital and Surplus combined, $600,000.00, we are able to extend to all of our friends help in their enterprises consistent with conservative and legitimate banking. We pay 4 per cent, in Savings Department. We solicit your business IIIIII 3 Mail OFFICERS JOHN TRICE, President E. M. HENDRY, Vice Pres. C. E. ALLEN, Cashier W. W. TRICE and D. H.
