A ship of royal make is she. And brings her treasure from afar. Her truth it is that makes us free, And shines her beacon like a star. ’Twas Furman’s hand that laid her keel. And Judson set her ribs of steel: The Fathers, prayerful for our weal. Launched our dear Alma Mater. A mother, gentle, fair and wise. And grave with weight of storied lore, She greets us with love’s radiant eyes. And chains our hearts forevermore. Old Furman: grateful sons are we. Our love, our lives we give to thee: We’ll keep faith’s vow to serve but thee, Our own dear Alma Mater. —K. M. I’oteat. Page Six BOMHOni =33 P Page Seven Page Eight Page Xine BOMhOniE IE Historical Sketch of Furman University E. M. POTF.AT 6 M EPSON said, an institution is the lengthened shadow of a man. Furman University is the lengthened shadow of a towering man, Richard Furman (1755-1825). Ilis name is written in letters of light over all the early history of the Baptists in South Carolina. From the beginning of his public career he was an aggressive promoter of Education and ol organized denominational effort with a view to larger efficiency. As early as 17!H he brought before the Charleston Association a plan by which the churches might unite in aiding young students for the ministry, and when in 17112 the plan was ratified, his name is first in the list of signatures. He remained Chairman of the General Committee of the Charleston Association for educational work for thirty-three years. And it is significant of his influence in this interest that the white membership of the First Baptist Church of Charleston averaged about two dollars per mcml er for thirty-six consecutive years for education. In 181-1 he was elected at Philadelphia the first President of the Tri-cnnial Convention and in 1817 the theme of his presidential address was Education. Says Prof. II. T. Cook in the volume just cited: “Columbia College grew out of this sjmmmIj as well as divers colleges in the states” (p. 22). In the History of the First Baptist Church of Charleston, Dr. James C. Furman, the distinguished son of a distinguished father, says of this great Philadelphia address by his father: His own views contem- plated a central institution at Washington, with institutions preparatory to it founded in separate states, where lower grades of culture might he obtained.” And this great address grew out of an experience of twenty-six years during which the preacher had been educating young men. Richard Furman died without seeing the fruition of his far-sighted plans. But two years after his death, 1827, the Baptist State Convention opened “The Fur-Watervillc and Hamilton were probably the direct outgrowth of the original plan. So were Furman Institution in South Carolina and the institution at Penfield, Ga., now Mercer University. Furman Institution became Furman University and then gave up its Theological Department that it might become the Southern Baptist Seminary. Newton, in Massachusetts, it is believed, originated from dissatisfaction with the bad management at Washington. Indeed the whole later denominational movement in favor of education, originated from this impulse. 1 have given this much space in the brief sketch here undertaken because a clear sight of origins is essential to full comprehension of the growth of an institution. And in what has now been said it will be seen that Furman University is the heir and depository of the finest sentiments and insights and enthusiasm of as noble a pioneer as ever breathed. Page Ten man Academy and Theological Institution” at Edgefield, S. (•., buildings and land having been offered conditionally by the citizens of the village. It is not necessary to detail here the checkered years from 1827 to 1852; the annals are printed year hv year in the catalog. Hut it is impossible to read the story and not see and feel that truly great men were put to the test again and again and were kept on the strain well-nigh t � the limit of their powers to preserve the institution. Only a supreme purpose, with sources, like the great rivers, iu the far heights, where God dwells, could have held them to their task. Furman University comes to us of the present generation freighted with the devotion and prayers and consecrated by the tears ami toil of men of whom the world was not worthy. EXPANSION. At the commencement in dune, 1907, an alumnus who had not visited the institution for a number of years, said: “Things do not look as they did when T was a student here.” Then he proceeded to remark, “We had only this old building, and the I toys lived in hoarding houses off the campus.” At the end of the Civil War, Captain Patrick taught a preparatory department in the large room under the tower; and Dr. Furman and his three or four pro-lessors taught college classes in the other rooms of the main building. They could not foresee the development of the succeeding forty years. Indeed there was almost no expansion until 1885, when by the successful agency of l� . II. Griffith, a considerable Endowment Fund was raised. In 1888 the first additional building (Judson Cottage) was put up, and a short while after this Griffith Hall, which for several years was the home of the Fitting School boarding students. Today there are sixteen buildings on the campus, including several small cottages, and nine of these are in constant use in the work ol' the University. Since 1897 six important buildings have been erected. The new library building was opened for inspection on .June 5, 1907. It. represents in cost and endowment an addition of $38,000 to our plant. It has been much admired by all who have seen it. In interior finish and general appointments for library purposes, it is probably unsurpassed in South Carolina. Its one remaining need is books! books! books! These will he purchased l v the Faculty, after consultation with library committees throughout flu country as rapidly as the funds will allow. Several classes of Alumni have already sent in contributions for the purchase of books. There is no more direct way in which the Alumni can help the institution just now than in gathering class contributions for the purchase of hooks. In December. 1907. the South Carolina Baptist State Convention at Orangeburg projected a campaign for the erection of a new building to be known as the “James (’. Furman Hall of Science.” At the end of the year 1908, subscriptions were in hand amounting to $50,000 for this purpose. $25,000 of which was sub- Pagc Eleven scribed by Mr. Andrew Carnegie. Also in 1908 a commodious dormitory was built for the Fitting School. On December 31, 1909, largely through the efforts of Rev. E. 1 . Easterling, Financial Agent, all the conditions in reference to the James (’. Furman Hall of Science were met. The work of erecting the new building was begun in the year 1910, and it was formally opened with appropriate exercises on January 18. 1912. It contains a Museum of Natural History, with a well arranged display of many specimens, a laboratory of Physics, another for Chemistry, another for Biology, another for Psychology, besides private laboratories for the Professors, and several recitation rooms, etc., besides a finely equipped lecture room with gas. water, electricity, projection lantern equipment, etc., and seating capacity on highly inclined floor for one hundred and fifty. FOI R LINES OF EXPANSION There are four lines of expansion which lie before us, calling us to increased devotion to the largest single enterprise conducted in common by the Baptists of South Carolina. These are. viz.. 1st. Endowment: 2nd. Loan Fund: 3rd. Courses of Study; 4th, New Buildings. Of course expansion in these lines will be accompanied by a steady, but we hope not too rapid increase in the number of students. The present endowment amounts to $225,000 and il is urgently necessary for us to press on with the endowment of the institution as rapidly as possible to the $500,000 mark. With the increase of the student body which this material expansion will certainly secure, it will be increasingly necessary to provide aid for worthy young men who have brains and pluck, but no money. At present our available loan fund for others than ministerial students, amounts to $4,000 and only the interest of some of this money can be distributed. The ideal plan for the aiding of young men is to lend them without interest sufficient money to put them through college, the loans to bear interest from the date of their graduation. In this way considerable capital could be invested in the befit of securities, viz., manhood. A sum of $20,000 could be administered by the Faculty in this way in the very noblest service of the Kingdom of Christ. SOME DISTI NtH'lSHEl) ALCMNI This extended enlargement of the material equipment does not necessarily ensure better work than was done in the earlier days. A glance at the list of the Alumni will show that, from the beginning Furman University has maintained an exalted ideal of scholarship. The very first class to graduate gave to Southern Baptists their veteran hero missionary, Rev. .1. B. Hartwell, and to the South Carolina brotherhood the incomparable John 1. Williams. It will not he con- Page Twelve sidere l invidious to name these men, or others who from the earlier (lays by their achievements and general worth have added to the lustre of Furman's name. The class of 1856 gave to us Col. It. B. Watson, of Ridge Springs, S. C., the apostle of sunshine, and the pioneer peach grower of South Carolina; Jas. X. Nash, attorney and teacher, of Atlanta, (la.; and W. 11. Perry, who represented his district in Congress. Space will not allow us to comment upon the classes year by year, but it will be news to many among us to know that Furman University has furnished professors to Cornell, Rutgers, Chicago University, Johns Hopkins University, Richmond College, Wake Forest College, Clemson College, the State Normal School of Washington, Mercer University (including a president), Judson College (a president), Baylor University, and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Probably the most famous Sanskrit scholar is an alumnus of Furman University—Maurice Bloomfield of Johns Hopkins University; while another alumnus, John M. Manly, of Chicago University, stands at the head of English scholarship in the United States. Editors, lawyers, physicians, missionaries, teachers. preachers, legislators, civil engineers, merchants, and planters—the time would fail us to appraise the value of the contribution in manhood which Furman University has made to the good of the state, the nation, and the world. THE PRESENT DAY OBLIGATION The splendid record of the past enjoins upon us, as no mere exhortation could do, the obligation of maintaining in the enlarged Furman of today the ideals and the spirit of the earlier years. Who are the men upon whom this responsibility rests? The present Faculty of course; and we wish we could introduce these men one by one to all our people. In their special training for the positions which they occupy they represent Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Colby, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, in this country; and Cambridge (England), Paris (France), Leipzig and Berlin (Germany), abroad. It will he seen that these men are fully competent to maintain the standards set by Furman, Judson, Reynolds, and Edwards. The Arts degrees offered by Furman University today are standard and represent a sound liberal education. A CALL AND A CHALLENGE The facts here brought together constitute a call and a challenge. The South Carolina Baptist State Convention has here a great enterprise on its hands, a great and growing and quite incalculably useful enterprise of a fundamental and essential importance to the progress of our people. It enshrines as no other enterprise does or can ever do the traditions and spirit of our history in this state; the great names of that history arc forever linked with Furman University. These great Page Thirtren Spirits of the past who rule us from their urns and who invested their love and prayers and gifts invite us of the present generation to join them in their service of all coming generations by like investments of love and prayers and gifts. A prosperity such as they never saw has dawned upon us; resources beyond their dreams are at our command. And they challenge us to do with our means as well as they did with theirs. Men and women of South Carolina who love Christ and their fellows can win no surer title to the gratitude and veneration of coming generations than by linking their names with Furman University, and joining hands to make the University what the opening future demands. As compared with such a use of our resources, the building of private fortunes is despicable indeed, which, as Mr. Andrew Carnegie has lately said, “ministers not to any taste worthy of man.” Surely the time cannot lie far off when individuals, some of whom are reading this article, will, of their own judgment as to wise investments and without solicitation put their thousands into Furman I ni-versity. Of all such we may be sure that generations to come will rise up and call them blessed. •Cook: Education in South Carolina, p. 20. •Cook: Op. Cit., pp. 34-35.

Page Forty-nine Histor)) Cl I APT KR I On the seventeenth day of Scptemlier 101:� there appeared on the Furman campus a heaving restless, given mass which a day « r two later became tile Class of ’17. What wonder that out of such chaos anything with form could Ik produced ! More marvelous yet is the fact that so many of the uncultured, should arrive simultaneously, and with one accord, for the first time on Furman campus! Front the low lands and swamps, where one receives tin full benefit of the sun’s scorching rays, even t the narrow valleys and ravines of the mountains, where the longest summer day is hut a few brief hours, tin material for the Class of ’17 was assembled to he exposed to the mellow light of culture. Soon after the class was organized tin Sophomores and .luniors gave a most delightful hall (?) in its honor. The hall was on the third lloor of Montague. How beautifully the pale lights lent a moon shine ell'ect t« the whole situation, and brought out so charmingly the faint amber-colored frescoes on the walls and hast hoards. The receiving line was composed of those least wort In to receive and welcome such guests, hut tin hall continued until the honorees. tired and trembling from the strenuous exercise, were released and hospitably piloted to their respective rooms. The weeks and months passed by. bringing joy and pain in alternate succession. There were limes when what we had learned in high seliool was discarded as obsolete, while at other times the products of our own fertile brains, facts (?) presented on the spur of the moment, were just what the professor most readily accepted and added to his own store of knowledge. Kvents that would he of interest transpired, and outrages were committed by upper classmen in the course of tin year, but these atrocities shall not Ik spread before the reading public in this volume, since tin offenders have gone from us and favorable epitaphs have been written under their photographs in other works (Cf. “The Hook of the Dead,” Vol. ’I I. f : . Mfi.) CHAPTKR II W hen the I’nivcrsitv opened for the reception of students late in September 11. the Class returned to find that Montague Hall had been renovated, fumegated and declared completely sanitary from attic to cellar. Furthermore resolutions had been passed by the Faculty, in joint consultation with its various hoards, committees. and caucuses, that a more perfect state of sanitation must exist among the students of Furman Ciiiversitv. Whereupon the Class of ‘I!, save a small minority. proceeded In the bathroom. Soon fresh hair cuts were in evidence on all heads, and each member of the Class sought with all pains to blend the colors of his suit, socks, shoes, hat. neckwear, etc. Va if Fifty ■ •? S T BOMHOm Tl JU tfrt VS Tin Class of ’18 will never forget how cordially the Class of ’1� met it down on the banks of the turbulent Reedv, and in many other ways did the Class of M� help the Class of ’18 toward the goal of self-realization. Then tame the Sophomore Reception, which was given on the third-and-a-half floor of the llall of Science. This was by all means the greatest event in our college social life. IIow beautiful were the maidens that attended. Kach of them was each Sophomore’s best looking girl. And how charmingly they were attired. There was chiffon—and the absence of it, the music, the parading from one apartment to another, and now and then one could catch a whiff of the perfumes of violets mingled with that of sweet-scented roses, crab apple blossoms, and dogwood flowers. The Prophet alone can foresee and tell of the happiness that may yet come of this most joyous occasion. CHAPTER III The roll call in September ’15 revealed the sad fact that a number of our ranks who had enlisted in the army to fight against ignorance, had fallen in battle. Those who remained began to face the issue more seriously. There is very little of interest in the life of a Junior. He cannot afford to stoop to the hilarious life of the Sophomore, and of course not to the humble walk of the Freshman. It would be folly for him to take a dignified pose lest he be unable to maintain it. So the third chapter of our college career must needs be brief that it may not plunge the reader into a melancholy mood. Toward the end of the year there was a most interesting discovery made. We found that beyond a reasonable doubt that wc did not know some of the truths (?) that in our Sophomore year we were absolutely sure of. It could be clearly seen that instruction was gradually sinking in and becoming a real part of ourselves. CHAPTER IV The Class of ’17 returned in September MG for further culture. The blocks of marble, rough at the beginning, are now receiving the last touch that the Furman masters can give. We are not perfect, we are not educated, but with all our imperfections, and failures, the man that is within each of us is a larger man than when he first came to Furman. He is the nobler for having taken part in the wholesome college activities, and for having responded to the impulse to get out of the smaller self into the larger self that brings him into the correct relationship with his fellow men. As Freshmen we looked forward to becoming Seniors, as the highest goal, but now we find that our goal has moved a pace and we look to something higher. There is more yet to be attained. The Class of ’17 is possibly the largest graduating class in the history of the University. Among its members are young men who expect to enter various walks of life. Some who came with no special purpose save to “go away to college” have, since coming, decided to enter upon some great task in life. As we close our history of the Class of ’17, and look back over four short years, and then toward the future, we count ourselves happy to be called sons of Furman and shall always be proud of our Alma Mater. —Historian.

INTRODUCTION The reward of a historian is censure, and if censure is not called forth on this chronicle, it will not have been written as it should be. The Junior Class has its distinguishing features: it began just after the European War: is the smallest class in college; and each member is distinctly individual. The war accounts for the last two of these facts. When the roll was revised sixteen were missing and six-new names had been added, making the number thirty-five. To give an individual biography of each member would take volumes and years. As history is made up of individual things related to others to produce a totality of effect, it is per-missable to give a little fun, fact, or fiction about each member of the class and leave the reader to form his own opinion. II. PERSONAE DRAMATIS IIKYward Jamks Blackmon's greatest ambition is to be an “A” man in all his studies; the world still does not measure a man bv his size. Marcus Steward Boyd, captain of the baseball team, is popular with everyone at Furman and his heart is the common property of two members of the (5. W. 0. faculty. Ewart Gladstone Brown, “The Late Mr. Brown,” is rather pugilistic. M(a)enning-Jeters developed from his last physical bout, while knowledge is developing from his mental bouts now. lie believes in and circulates “The Hornet.” Samuel T. Brunson, coming from Bailey Military Institute and taking his brother’s place alphabetically in the roll, made an interesting discovery at the Alumni Hall on Novemebr 14, 1916. He says he has some symptoms of a wise man. James Hawley Byrd, is never known to call upon the young ladies, unless his room-mate is out of town. He does not believe in the initiative and referendum. Perry Dai.mak Caxnada is known as the “mad” man of the class. Psychology may be able to explain his physiognomy but it is doubted. Everetts Hubert Croxton is either petting his face or shining his shoes all the time. He has some knowledge of the value and contents of books. He has great managerial ability. Hubert Westmoreland Cunningham’s name crowds out much that could lx said. He “Pack”s the way to “Petes” and the “Majestic” road to Greer. G. Thomas DeVore is the dispenser of the “good old weed,” the acquirer of new rag songs and choice bits of his text-books. Paul Estes Durham, called “Possum” because lie is out late at night and sleeps in class, was actually sick during examination week. 11 is temporary habitat is at Chicora Hotel. Harry Lee Easteri.in cannot be called “Light Horse Harry Lee” for with his noise and greeting in the morning, “Everybody Up” we know another day has arrived. Page Sixty David Jones Fant, Jr., is the eteymologist of the class. His father is an engineer; yet D. J. Jr., if he does not make regular runs, send a letter(s?) instead (where?). lie helps furnish “glee” for the Glee Club. Roy Alexander Farmer has a motorcycle to ride, but we do not know what is in his head, lie likes the company of a certain “Charles(ton)” lady. Jambs Samuel Graham has the honor of being the oldest, as well as one of the married members of the class. The “Interurban” brings him to school from Williamston every day. “Father” knows how to study too. Milledge Byron Gunter called upon the young ladies the coldest Sunday night of the past winter. lie is a ministerial student, but is “Moore” of a phrenologist. Pickney Belton Hair, a most artful logger, records his indignation of the Literary Digest's publishing his home-town, Bamberg, in the Pork Barrel class. If he does not receive a letter daily, he oir for a few days to investigate. Glover Hart was once a wrestler of note. He is now a champion in Greek and Math, and is the most uniform in his attendance at all his classes. Clyde Herndon is the middle man in number of the class. We would not eliminate him as some wish to this kind of man in business world, for Clyde is undeviating in purpose and performing his duties. Marion McJunkin Hewell is known in Math class as “Mr. Marion,” at the drug store as the connoisseur for giving oil. He is one of the best students and literary society men in college. William Martin Hunt is the prodigal who has been absent from the campus four years and decided to return and become a member of the class of ’18. He is “one of the boys.” Laurence Edwin Lenhardt, a Bailey man, is so effeministic, “Sister” expresses it. She is a shark in Math and French and says she will be debarred from militant service (Woman Suffrage or Patriotic?). Frank Weston Mahon is the most unassuming and the least seen of the class. Physics is his hobby, but some day he may be an authority on more subjects than this one. It. R. Patrick, distinguished from others as “Chinless Pat,” is a musician, but only a few whose hearts and natures have been affected by his symphonies know this fact. His first two initials with “Pat” suggest some jokes quite familiar. John Alvis Richardson was absent on week ends from the campus just after the holidays. Since his trip as far as Spartanburg a lonesome noise of the canine order comes at intervals from the depths of his heart, lie is going to be a country gentleman. If James Alexander Shirley, Jr., well known by his height and proportions or his laugh, had been able to play in the Wofford football game. Furman would have had a little more chance of winning. Jim is a great lover of the “fair” and “Anderson.” Paqe Sixty-one William Klfkkd Sims is a popular member of the Central B. V. 1 .

BOMHOttl Sophomore Class Page Sixty-eight rv T BOMHOniE- History of Sophomore Class As the rose, lovely in its radiant splendor, bursts forth from the green little bud, insignificant in its very smallness, just so the class of 1919 burst forth from the first, to the second year of its existence. How much difference a few months can make. In 15)15 when we arrived on the campus one could easily see evidences of verdue in our conduct and appearance, but under the careful tutorage of the upper classes and under the instruction of the sagacious Faculty, we reached the close of the season 15)15-1 , a fine class. Several of our number proved themselves worthy of the honors of the gridiron, while the baseball team of 16 numbered three of its players among the Freshman class. As for the basketball team, the majority of its players, its stars, in fact were Freshmen, and in the other activities of college life the (’lass of 15)1!) was duly represented. In the annual struggle known as the tug-of-war, we were fortunate enough to pull the Sophomores almost across the river, but alas! at the critical moment our strength failed and we were forced to wade in meek submission through the chilly waters of the turbulent Reedy. So much for our record as Freshmen. With final examinations, a fitting conclusion for our erstwhile continued state of nervousness, and with the balmy breezes of summer vacation at home, a soothing remedy for all our former pains, we grew, we bloomed forth, the radiant, beautiful rose. Wc found ourselves, on returning the following September to be real Sophomores—wise and sophisticated but withall a jolly, friendly bunch. Of course some of our number had fallen by the wayside, but for the greater part our class was intact. Our first duty on returning to Furman was to elect officers. Accordingly, 11. 0. Morris was elected President, Fletcher Stone. Vice-President, J. 0. Sherwood, Secretary, W. E. Carson, Treasurer, and I). N. Wilburn, Historian. J. C. Rogers and C. J. Lupo were chosen to serve as BONHOMIE editors. Thus began the second lay in our race for the goal—the Commencement of 15)15). in our stay of almost two years at Furman, wc have caught the spirit of the institution, and our highest aim is to realize the glorious ideals which have made old Furman what it is. —Historian. Page Sixty-nine BOnHOniEr Page Seventy Smile an d Keep Smiling 1 Homely phrase of our Southland bright— Keep steady, step to the beat of the drum ; Wheel to the left, eyes to the right, Sing with the soul tho' the lips be dumb. Hard to be good when the wind's in the east; Hard to be gay when the heart is down; When they that trouble you are increased, When you look for a smile and see a frown. But- Just smile and keep smiling. 2 Sorrow will turn the blue sky gray— Gray is the color our grandfathers wore; Sunshine will scatter the clouds away, Azure will gleam in the sky once more. Colors of hope and patience arc they— Always at even in one they blend; Tinting the heavens by night and day, Over our hearts to the journey's end. But— Just smile and keep smiling. 3 Hard to keep sweet when the throng is dense, When elbows jostle and shoulders crowd; Easy to give and take offense When the touch is rough and the voice is loud. Keep to the right in the city's throng, Divide the road on the broad highway; There’s one way right when everything’s wrong; Easy and fair goes far in a day. Just— Smile and keep smiling. 4 A quick taunt answers the hasty word— The lifetime chance for a “help” is missed; The muddiest pool is a fountain stirred, A kind hand clenched makes an ugly list. When the nerves are tense and the mind is vexed. The spark lies close to the magazine; Whisper a hope to the soul perplexed— Banish the fear with a smile serene. J list— Smile and keep smiling. —S.

Yeager Page Seventy-four I'kksiimax Class BONHOMIE Furman University, Greenville. S. ('. To our High School Friends. Dear Fellows: Knowing that you are planning to go to college next year we arc writing to tel! vou of the life of a Freshman at Furman. When w of the present Freshman t hiss reached Greenville early in September we were prepared for almost anything, having heard great and fearful tales f the horrors which awaited, a “Hat.” Of course, our reception was “warm” and impressive. and many of the older men seemed to think that we were rather green and awkward, hut we secretly thought ourselves rather wise: for we had attained t!n� position which w«- had long looked forward to. that of a college student The first test which wc were forced to submit to was that of a Tng-of-War. We hardly knew what plot had been formed against us when we were told to select fifteen of our bravest and strongest men to place themselves or one side of the Reedy Kivor, a wide and rushing stream, which -lows down from the nearby mountains. Fifteen well trained Sophomores placed themselves on the opposite side of the stream, and a strong and large rope was thrown across. The object of these strange prom dings was, as we soon learned, to sc.' which side could pull the other into the water. Now the men whom we had chosen to represent us were very strong and very brave, and they pulled with all their might, vea, they pulled so hard that the largest of them fell into a faint. At first it seemed that the better organized Sophomores would be the victors, but they were soon exhausted by the unexpected resistance ol the untrained “Hats,” and gradually they were drawn shivering into the water. But they strengthened on the rocky bed of the river so we could pull them no farther, and the referee declared the contest a draw; but to us it was a great victory. After this we settled down to the four years’ conquest of knowledge. We elect' d the following men to lead us during the first campaign: J. B. Norwood, dr.. President: J. A. Weston, Vice President: J. T. Littlejohn. Secretary: C. Hub-hard. Treasurer: J. H. S|x. er, Historian: Messrs. Raymond Pearson and S. A. Souza were elected class editors for a great book, which called “Bonhomie.” The fir t campaign is now drawing to a close, and though, many men have been slain or injured by the giant enemies called Latin, German, Mathematics. History, English, and Physics, still many have won victories over these foes. We have not become discouraged for we know that many of you wiil come to reinforce us next year. But all of our time has not been spent in studying, for we have also taken part in all other college activities. On the football, basketball, and baseball teams, we have been well represented, while many of our number have become active in literary society work, V. M. 0. A. work. Glee Club work, and the like. In addition to these there arc attractions in the city, of which the best is G. W. ('. 'Pile Seniors we have roomed with : Montague Hall have been v ry kind to us, and their advise lms enabled us to escape many dangers. Because of these kind- Pagr SfKitty-fix nesses, wc have been lead to give a Fresh-Senior reception, the first recorded in the annals of Furman. Of course this was a very ambitious attempt for a Freshman class, but with the gracious assistance of the Freshman of («. Y. we were able to make a grand success of it. The G. Y. C. Seniors also attended, which was an added attraction for all. Of course there are many other things which we could tell you of, not least of which was our contribution of One Hundred and Fifty Dollars for the Manly Athletic Field, but the few facts which I have already mentioned arc enough to show you that Furman is the best college in the state. You should by all means come and be with ns next year for we have many great things planned. Your friends, THE CLASS OF 1920. J. II. Speer, Historian. Page Seventy-seven g BOMHOni I! A ' TKe Purest Love Listen to the roaring of the mighty sea; I gaze upon the wondrous beauty of the hills; 1 watch the wounded sparrow falling from the tree: And wonder tills my inmost soul, when I reflect (tod’s love is in them all. I see the tender love gleam from the mother’s eye; I hear her low sweet song, as o’er the child she bends And strives by ev’ry art to hush its feeble cry, And then 1 know, ’tis not an earthly love 1 see. But heavenly love divine. —T. 0. Johnson. Op-fox ) Page Seventy-eight STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITIES The Furman Council There is no police force really effective for a college community but a student police force, and this operates not by external pressure, but by internal persuasion, says a recent writer on college problems. Because of his recognition of this fact, President Poteat turned his attention to the various forms of student government early in his administration with a view to initiating some system of student control at Furman. In September, 1913, he succeeded in establishing the Furman Council. The Council is a representative body of students in whose hands the faculty has placed practically ail disciplinary matters, and the reins of government for all student difficulties are held by the Council. All of its members except one are elected bv the students indirectly, for it has been decided that those students holding certain offices in the student community shall, upon being elected to these offices, become therewith members of the Council. It will be seen that the Council is really the student community in its self-governing capacity. The offices which carry with them membership in the Council are: the presidents of the two literary societies, the presidents and the secretaries of the four classes, the managers of the various athletic teams, the editors-in-chief of the Bonhomie, the Echo, and the Hornet, and the president of the Mess. The president of the Mess is the only member appointed by the faculty, and so far he has always held some other office which would entitle him to a seat in the Council. This plan insures the CounoiPs being composed of men who are leaders in school and who have the esteem of their fellow students. The immediate circumstances which gave birth to the Council have largely fixed its jurisdiction and special duties. In December, 1912. the Trustees of the institution granted af petition of the students asking for the re-establishment of intercollegiate football. But at a later meeting in June, 1913, the privilege was made subject to the condition that the students themselves should suppress and prevent hazing in all its forms. On the afternoon of September IT, 1913, this resolution was read to the three upper classes, and was approved by a unanimous vote. This action outlined the original duties of the Council. Later its jurisdiction was extended to cover all cases involving discipline of the students. This extension of power was made with the proviso that every finding of the Council should be immediately reported to the faculty in writing, and that in cases of suspension or expulsion. the finding be not announced until consultation had been had with the President, a committee of the faculty, or the faculty. The new scheme has proven satisfactory so far, and though there are still some problems to lu worked out, the plan bids fair to prove equal to any emergency that may arise at present. The Council is rapidly growing in strength and administrative capacities, and we bespeak for it the sympathy and co-operation of the student body in the work it is trying to do for the betterment of Furman.

Pickens, Alumnus, ’15 Oh paint me a picture, now painter of Christ Our wonderful Lord and our Master! So long have your brothers sought to portray him On canvas, in marble, and plaster; Nay! Nay! not. in Palestine centuries past, Would I have you render the setting; But here in America even today, No part of the modern forgetting. Nay, nay. not like that! You arc painting him now As many and many a painter Has sought to portray him, half visible mist, In tones than the setting much fainter. A spirit unseen ’mid the tumult of men, To aid, and to guide, and to cheer them; 1 like that sometimes; hut in this he shall Ik Still tenderly, knowingly near them. His carpenter’s shop you must modernize now, A background to show forth his glory. And the Carpenter Jesus therein shall ye paint The Christ of the Often-told Story; And paint him beclad in a workingman’s shirt. And in carpenter’s overalls blue For thus he would dress if he lived with us now Just as other carpenters do. Oh paint me a scene that will make it seem Christ, With his wonderful presence divine, Has reared up his wonderful working-place here On this street, just the next door to mine! Yea, until the mender of misshapen lives, And the builder of mansions eternal. Shall permeate all of mv working-place here With a spirit divine and supernal! O Carpenter Jesus, red-blooded and strong As a man, lo, I bow before thee; Who ’mid sawdust and shavings, was Savior the same Lo. as Cod’s son I adore thee; O thou marvelous Christ of the quieted storm. Of Mount Ilermon, and Calvary’s tree, Pray array thyself in mv garb here tonight And fashion my life for thee—for thee! Page One hundred eight Page One hundred nine Judso.v Mkmokiai.

Laval. better known anion the boys as “Killy.” began Ins athletic career in 1 904. That year he was first pitcher and captain of Furman’s baseball team, and Ids team won thirteen straight games, a record which has never been equalled by any other college in South Carolina. In 1905 he played with A. M. College at Raleigh. C. His good work soon attracted attention. During the season of 1906-07 he played with Macon. Ga., of the South Atlantic League. He returned to his home, however, in 11)08, and played for Greenville of the Carolina Association until 1910. The following year found him with Winston-Salem of the same league. In 1911 he accepted the position of manager of the Spartanburg team, and remained with this aggregation until 1912, playing first base. In 1913 he played for Richmond of the Virginia State League, in 1914 with Petersburg of the same league, and in 1915 lie went to Shreveport of the Texas State League. In 1901 Billy began to coach college teams before the regular sessions opened. He coached Krskine from 1907 through 1911 with the exception of the season of 1908. His team won the S. C. I. A. A. pennant three times and second place the other year. He coached Sewanee during 1908, and his team won second place in the S. I. A. A. Returning to Furman in 191 2 he put out a team that won second place in the state association. He assisted in coaching the Furman football team during the first part of the season of 1915. About the middle of the season he assumed full charge of the Varsity, and to him is due. in no small measure, the success of our team. Well might any coach he proud of such a record. The secret of it is Billy’s personality. He commands the respect and obedience of every man under him, ami this, together with a thorough knowledge of the game, explains his success. He has charge of the baseball team this year. We can say no more than that we believe in him to a man.

Sherwood Page One hundred thirty-two BOMHOmt For four years Captain Gressette has worn the Purple and White on the football gridiron. His thorough knowledge of the game, his terrific line plunges, his never failing end runs, and his contagious fighting spirit have done much to make Furman’s record what it has been since football was reinstated. No other one man deserves as much credit as does “Captain Hill” whose absence will Ik greatly felt next year, but no doubt the desire to come up to his record will make better players of next year’s men. Last year Gressette was selected for All-State fullback and this year he was picked for Captain of the second All-State team, which is equivalent to a position on the first team. He carries with him the best wishes of all loyal “Furmanites.” Charles E. Timmons, manager of the football team, deserves much credit for the results of the season. In every detail he was faithful to the interest of his men, and not once did he shirk the heavy duties and responsibilities laid upon him. This energetic manager brought his men to Greenville the first of September, and from that time until after Thanksgiving he was one of the busiest men on the campus. He was always ready to assist any of the men, and his untiring efforts provided successfully for the smallest details of every game. His services were appreciated bv the members of the team and the entire student body. Page One hundred thirty-three Football Personnel CAPTAIN BILL CKKSSKTTK Captain “Bill” is one of the most powerful football players in tiie state. He has played four successful seasons with the Furman team and has never yet realized his full strength. Had he realized his powers fully, he would have been the greatest ground gainer in this entire state, fie was our right halfback last season, and has led the team for two years. Wo regret that we lose his services for the coining season. Bill was chosen as Captain of the Second “All-State” team. J. W. WOOD “J. .” was one of the best right ends in the state. Karly in the season he received a bad sprain in his ankle, but he stuck grittily to his place and made many brilliant plays, lie was exceptionally good at receiving forward passes, and it was due to this ability that we scored our first touchdown against Davidson. “J. W.” is also a senior. MANNING JETER “Jcte”’ was chosen for the position of left guard on the “All-State” team, and it was well deserved. He towers six feet two inches, and is also of a good weight. He can stand n world of punishment, and time was not called out for him a single time during the entire season. This is Jeter’s second year at Furman, and great tilings are expected of him for the coming season. Page One hundred thirty-four B. P. COL KM AN “Dink” was one of the smallest men to don a Furman uniform this year, but his nerve and grit caused many an opposing player to change his first opinion of the gritty “Hornet.” We regret to say that tins is the last year that “Dink” will put on a Furman uniform and hold down the position of right end, as lie will graduate this year. C. P. RICE At the position of right guard “Sister” has few equals and no superiors in this state. Although he was not given a position on the “All-State” team, every man who was so unfortunate as to play against him on the football field, knows that he deserved it He is a hard worker, and few gains were made over his position. This year ended his football career at Furman. I). G. WATSON Although “Pete” was cut off of the team about the middle of the season, he had developed into one of the best tackles in the state. He was good on defensive work, and was also one of the best on the team in running interference. As left tackle he stopped many plays that would probably have meant defeat to old Furman. Page One hundred thirty-five bMPflYNE, J.A.P estoh HpPEEFL I). PAYNE “Nab” is another “Tar Heel” on the team, and it was though! by many that he was the best center in the State. However, he was not chosen to that position on the “All-State” team. As a defensive player he is second only to Weston, and he is also good at passing the ball, having only four or five had passes during the entire season. We regret very much that “Nab” will not lx back with us again next season. JIM WPISTON West” came to us last season from the “Tar Heel” state, and soon developed into the greatest defensive player on the squad, and one of the best in the state. ITc was also good at line plunging. When a line-buck was needed West” always delivered the goods. Not once did he fail to make some gain, lie is the Captain-elect for the coining season and we expect great things from him and his team next year. HARRKL SPEER Speedy” Speer is the fastest man on the gridiron in South Carolina. He also claims the Old North State” as his home. Speer is small, but there is not a man in the state who can beat him on an end-run. lie was chosen by five coaches as the best left halfback in the state. This is his first year in Furman, and we expect him to be one of the best players that has ever entered a South Carolina college. Page One huruin'd thirty-six JJJhwley JAMES SI-llRLEV “Jim” was the efficient right tackle of the Furman team. Before receiving injuries it was almost impossible to make gains over his position. This is “Jim’s” third year at Furman, and it is expected that he will show up even better in his senior year than he did this year. ROGERS DRAKE Drake was probably the grittiest quarterback in the entire state. Receiving injuries in almost every game he entered, he just grit his teeth and stuck to it as long as he possibly could. He is also finishing his career at Furman this year, and we regret very much to lose him. THE SCRUBS Too often when the ’varsity is fighting our battles on the football field, we talk of their skill as players, and give them the entire credit. They are due all the credit that can he given them, but we must not forget tlie scrubs who battle the ’varsity every day, without hope of fame, in order to make them strong enough to represent old Furman. There were many Scrubs who were almost as good as the members of the squad, but who did not get to win their sweaters. These men deserve more credit than we are wont to give to them. “Hats off to the Scrubs; they made our team what it was.” Page One hundred thirty-seven BB Pays One hundred thirty-eight Hail to White and Purple Hail to White and Purple.

BOYD The leader of our nine this year is one of our hard working men who is always looking out for the best interest of his team. “.Marcus ' has been a member of our baseball squad two years now and is well acquainted with the game. On account of the large number of new men on th team, the first part: of the season was not as successful as we might wish, and the war crisis has prevented tin completion of our schedule. On the whole, however, our Captain may still be proud of the spirit of the leant which he led for old Furman. MANAGER T. C. OWINCS Although handicapped by many unfavorable circumstances, “Tom” has proved himself to be one of the best managers that our baseball nine has ever had. The cunecllation of the last half of the schedule which he had mapped out, makes it impossible to say but that his team might have measured tip to the Furman standard of excellence in (‘very particular. The difficulties which he and his team faced make them both worthy of the more praise.

And when the purple twilight shadows creep Far up the river rides the loving-moon, I wonder if my heart will wake from sleep. And echo beat for beat the darkies’ tune. When through the dusk I’ve stolen to the mill My heart still beating with the sweet refrain, I wonder if slie'W be there, waiting still When I come home again. And then—will she be smiling when we meet, Her wonder-smile I’ve come to love and miss, 1 wonder if her lips will be as sweet As they were when 1 stole that good-bye kiss. I wonder—will her hair be just as brown, Her eyes still be like violets in the rain? 1 wonder—will she smile—or will she frown— When I come home again.

Bukxsidk, Jk., ’17. v IXDINCi in and out the columns entwined with ivy, couple after couple passed arm in arm through the beautiful, decorated rooms and halls. IMF Here ami there swinging from the radiant chandeliers wedding Ih IIs met the gaze of the guests, and from the (lowers, placed in every nook and corner, perfume added soothing contentment to the night. Standing in the center of the gay. happy throng, was Marion Barclay, dressed exquisitely in pink covered with crcjw de chine. Her checks glowed in the hazy light and her eyes reflected rays of love to the Prcnchmnn to whom she was talking incessantly. “Marion, mon chore, you are extreme pretty tonight, ah. you are happy I hope.” asked the fount, who was the head of the Mouse of I Morn?. “Yes, of course I am happy, happy to love and Ik loved, yet there is always .some thing sad about leaving one's home;” she remarked, with a happy sadness in her voice. “Well, the reception is over; I. too. much against my will, must depart, but remember tomorrow,” and the fount kissed Marion good-night. I he reception was over, every one had gone leaving only Marion and her sister Uuth. who walked silently through the rooms to gaze at its beauty, to receive only a beautiful vacant stare, if a vacant stare might la called beautiful, in return for the tenderness she had given. Something indefinite seemed to hang over Marion, she was to be married tomorrow, yet that something told her something was going to happen, time only could tell what it was. Well, anyway the wedding would be over this time tomorrow. After spending a restless night, she awoke, with the break of morn, to welcome tin rays of the sun. as they peeped over the horizon to paint the picture of morn, and awaken the sleepy world. Soon the sun ascended to his position and bid her good morning. “Today, my wedding day, Ruth, my sister, arise, we must get up early this morning for we have so much to do.” The wedding hour was fast approaching and the small, recherche crowd, gathered in the folds of the domineering halls, to witness this quiet and simple wedding. “Is the fount here!'” asked Marion. “No, he hasn’t come vet,” answered Uuth. “Well I do wish he would come on, and l� c on time at his own wedding.” An hour had passed and the fount was still missing. Stepping to the ’phone Uuth called the Argonaut Hotel and asked: “Is fount l’ierrc in?” “Xo, mam, he left for France last night, and asked me to say to all who called, that he was called home on account of the sickness of his wife,” came the answer over the wire. Marion read the truth in Ruth’s bewildered, agonized face and her heart turned to stone. She had been frivolously disgraced, tramped on. She had l)een made a plaything; well she too would play with it. And before Uuth or her husband could stop her she stepped to the door and called a workman, who was working next door. “Your name, please,” she asked. “John Manly,” answered the man whose face was wet with sweat, yet shower! forth beneath the dirt the handsome features of an honest man. I‘a( r Oar hundred fifty-tuo “Mr. Manly. I am going to do something which will surprise you, I am going to ask you to marry me.” He started back, it struck him speechless, but finally he said: “A worthless workman, marry you, to be forever sneered at, marry and try to rise out of one's own sphere. Why do you ask me to do this?” “That can be explained later. I don't ask you to give me your life. 1 only ask you to let me bear your name. We both can continue to live our own separate lives. You will see me only at meal times or when I ask you to accompany me in society, the rest of your time is your own. I will pay you twenty thousand dollars a year to live this life. Won't you, Mr. Manly?” begged Marion. Twenty thousand, more than enough to save his mother. He would do it for her sake. Yes, I accept those terms. Wo will sign a contract, this is strictly a business proposition.” The contract signed, the crowd saw this beautiful, rich Marion Barclay marry this common laborer, John Manly. Saw her go through the ceremony with an expressionless face, for her face was like a stone wall and no one could make her persist from her set purpose. A month had passed and John Manly and his wife lived in their own apartments. “John, will vou come into supper,” asked Marion. “Yes.” “I hope you arc not unhappy, John, that 1 have shaped your life this way, but it seems to me that it would be just the same to you,” said Marion. “No, 1 am not unhappy, my mother is in Florida now, and as for my happiness, well that doesn't matter,” he answered. “1 want you to accompany me to a reception tomorrow night. John. 1 wouldn't ask you but it is very necessary that we should go, so I will expect you at eight. Please wear vour evening suit. Good-night.” Yes, he had sacrificed his life, never could he expect the real joy of home, yet he was startled to find a spark burning now for this woman who had pulled him into her life, but she must never know that. “I am ready, Marion,” he said the next night at eight. You will find me in the reception room.” When they reached the house, Marion had the sad pleasure of introducing her husband to her once close and intimate friends. As John Manly shook hands with the different people, he could not help but notice the mocking smiles that played upon their lips. As In was standing just inside the door he heard someone remark: “Who is that handsome fellow?” “Why, he is only a common day laborer, married on a contract, he isn’t worth shaking hands with,” came the answer to his burning ears. “So he was not socially their equal, he had been afraid of that all the time, yet he had thought they wouid treat him civilly,” mused John. The reception was over, and John and his wife, after paying their respects to the host and hostess, drove slowly home through the misty atmosphere of smoky Pittsburg. Kach was silent, yet both were thinking. “John, 1 saw how you felt tonight, but I could not help it. Oh, I suffered with you.” “That is only part of my contract. I am paid for that so you should not mind.” he answered. Pntjc One hundred fifty-three BOMHOnitAtfll “I hate to ask you, but 1 promised Mrs. Johnson that 1 would come to her reception tomorrow night. You will accompany me.” “Certainly.” After spending a sleepless night and spending a tired, restless day John Manly went upstairs to dress for the reception. Oh, how he wished he had never signed that contract, lie loved this woman now and lie was too much of a gentleman to tell her so under the conditions. He was to spend another one of those terrible nightmares again. Well, he was a man and he knew how to suffer without cringing. “John, are you ready?” “Yes, just a minute.” Walking up the steps of Mrs. Johnson’s, he beheld the man who had uttered the stinging remarks that he had overheard yesterday evening. lie would have to shake hands with him, he couldn’t get out of that. Kxtcnding his hand he spoke: “How are you tonight?’” “You common laborer, you ain’t fit for me to shake hands with. My dog couldn’t grovel with you. Clothes can’t cover your commonness,” retorted the society sport. For a moment John’s brain ran in confusion, his face burned, but he became very calm all at once and his fist shot out true to the mark and sent the man to the ground. “Come, Marion, we must go, I can’t stand any more of their insults.” They reached the house and he knew that his last moments with this woman had come. Silently the walls stared at them and the vacant halls seemed to hold something which they secretly held under the cover of their grandness. “Marion, I have come to confess. We can live together no longer. I have learned to care for you. I was insulted and could not bear it. It is best that our contract be broken, torn to pieces, for 1 have violated it.” “John.” “Hush, I am going back to my life I lived before, a better man, yet a hater of society. Good-night, permit me to kiss my wife this one time, Good-bye, for we meet for the last time.” And there in the holiness of their own ruined lives they kissed each other good-night, and lie turned and slowly began his way out of her life forever. She watched him as lie left her, his broad shoulders, his magnificent form, and she thought of the man, the soul that filled that body and she was filled with something she had never felt before. “John, John, come back to me, you can’t leave me. 1 love you, John, come back to your little girl.” He turned and saw her face turned appealingly toward him and he forgot he was in this world, for happiness flowed over his benighted soul as lie came back to the woman he loved. “Do you love me, Marion? Don’t trifle with me or make me suffer more.” “Oh. John, you have turned my hatred of the world to love. You have lifted me up out of a bottomless pit and I give you my heart which was once stone to you, a man, a man. And she laid her head on his shoulder and wept tears of happiness and contentment. Page One hundred fifty-four As You See It To the fellow who got Ihe girl Where the silver moonlight dunces on the water’s broad expanses, And the sleeping banks lie bathed in ghostly light: Where the wave-crests gleam and glisten and all nature seems to listen To the drowsy music of the summer night: Where the night two hearts is blending in a love that’s never ending, Love, contented just to drift and dream for aye— ’Mid such fond associations one may know the fascinations Of the silver moon a-glcam upon the bay. When the moon like spaghetti and the water’s kinda “wettv,” And a stream of perspiration clouds your brow; When a guy knows lie’s a faker when In says “Aw let him take her. The night’s too hot for rowing anyhow;” When a guy feels tough as leather, and the women and the weather Seem combined to make his collar melt away— Sour grapes and perspiration! One may miss the fascination Of the silver moon a-glcam upon the bay. Softly now the gloaming Steals o’er the hill and dale, Silently the twilight Throws o’er Earth a veil; Hushed the cities’ noises. Its clamors, loud and shrill; Works o’er the day is done. The world at last is still. To Ihc fellow Ihal goI left —W. C. I Wane, ’19.

What makes Jud League stand so queer upon the stage. Where James McCravy saw any distinguished vocalist sing with his hands in his pockets. Where Bunny (Burnside) got his lady killer powder. THINGS WE’VE HEARD There isn’t any Furman Glee Club, just eleven Furman boys accompanying Mark Osborne over the state. Sister Rice makes a better looking lady than man. Moore never wants to see Coker again, two girls chased him down. Curry couldn’t stay away from his girl, so he got sick two days before the trip was over and came home. Schaeffer cusses ’cause the piano is out of tune, and loses the good will of the manager of the theater, but Sister Rice overcomes this bad impression by her tender affection. Swift had to take his wife along although he did get her to stay home for one day. Drake goes in a girl’s room and doesn’t iiml out his mistake till she appears and finds him—scream. l'ant became affected by attention, and tried to break up the performance by killing our biggest man behind the scenes in a fist cuff. McDowell was elected baby of the troupe, and successfully defended his title. Cunningham, best looking man on the Club, broke all the girls’ hearts by refusing to look at them. Burnside and McCravy brought several hearts back to Furman, and deeded them to next year’s Glee Club. Drake got left in Hartsville because a girl said she would kiss him the next day. CHARACTERISTICS Osborne—duty to amuse whole train on the way. and the audience that night. Everybody hushed when Manager Burnside approached expecting to hear a blessing out. only to be told they could have a cup of coffee for breakfast. Page One hundred fifty-seven Shakespearean Burlesques Given by Furman Students HAM (OR) LET, AND ROME-OWE AND Jl’LI-ATE A number of students took part in an entertainment given at G. W. C. January 27, 1917, for the benefit of the football team. The evening was a great success and the manager was well pleased with the profits made. The following program in two parts was rendered: L Music ....................Grand Orchestra Shakespearean Drama: Hnm(om)let. CAST OK 'HAItA TICKS. Ham(om)let...........J. E. Burnside, dr.

Burnside, Jr. Apothecary, a pill maker...T. C. Johnson Juliet, a romantic young lady..C. P. Rice Nurse, an old busybody......W. M. Hunt Watchful Cops.........Boyd and Gregory Curtain. The Grand Orchestra was composed of several students some of which were verv musical and others not; the instruments used and each giving forth a different tune were: a banjo, two or three violins and fiddles, a drum, some bones, jews harp, ten-cent horn, guitar, and a baby grand piano. The material used in connection with the suitable and well-gotten up costumes to make the whole more dramatic was: a pair of old shoes, corset, hoop-skirt, skull, and bones and bustle (the remains of a dead woman), spade, pick, mattock, wheel-barrow for patrol wagon, tombstones, some soil, a coflin, onions, red pepper, cabbage, trees, potted plants, dunce stool, wall with nails in it, hand satchel, trunk, sheet with clothes tied therein, barn lantern, ladies’ red and black wigs, make-up, rag doll and a real stuffed bull dog. 'Phe more classical music and really good numbers were the quartette, the impersonations and numbers given by our artist in these lines, Mr. M. R. Osborne, the female duct given by Misscs(?) Osborne and Rice. The ladies of the plays were extremely interesting and it was a wonder how boys could so transform themselves. The most interesting and dramatic scone of either play was the elopement of Juliate and Rowe-owe. She was dangling from the balcony of her room window on the second floor of the dwelling in vain effort to land her avoirdupois on the dunce stool provided by her lover. The noise awoke the household. Romeo escaped for his life and Juliet at last fell upon her faithful nurse with fatal results to both. Page One hundred fifty-eight Page One hundred fifty-nine XV T? BoriHoni A Vision of the WatcKman On tKe TovJer S. G. Elrod, M? Watchman, what dost thou behold in (he New Dawn? Ear away, across the seas, 1 behold nun pursuing men and helpless women with dreadful massacre; borne on the eastern wind. I hear the horrible cries of the murdered and bereft. And what dost thou see nearer, () watchman of the tower? Nearer I see dark and cowering forms of crime and frightened innocence, alike given pitilessly to the green trees and the red tlame. And what else dost thou see, 0 seer of evil things? I see frightened creatures, in the shape of men, fleeing from the light, and hiding in the clefts of rocks, and in the far places of the earth. Look well, 0 watchman, look far and wide, and tell us, who wait, what other things dost thou behold? I see the shining faces of little children from whose backs heavy burdens have been lifted; I see rich men eagerly scattering their wealth among those who need, lifting up the stricken and restoring the power of self-help to the sturdy; 1 see those who labor winning an ampler share in the profits of their toil, in wages, and comfort, and safety, and time for rest; 1 behold Science conquering the secrets and guiding the forces of nature, and creating new and wondrous devices for human happiness, working miracles in culture of the soil, and in the cure of sickness; 1 behold Art going up and down the land, making homes and cities more beautiful; 1 hear the voices of poets and prophets troubling the hearts and lifting up the souls of all mankind; 1 sec men as brothers, in times of calm and in days of monstrous calamity, stretching hands to one another over lands and seas, and across the ancient barriers of race, and religion, and condition; I see the hearts of men go out, in new love and care, and understanding, to the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; and in all these 1 see the mind on the Son of Man, and the power of the Will Eternal. O seer of Good and Evil, what else, what else? Near by I behold the Angel of a people, and in his hand he bears a standard whereon is writ in letters of light, the one word Truth: higher he bears the standard than ever before, and the people, in gathering numbers, follow the Word. And what of the evil things that late thou sawest? Still 1 see them, and many more, but fainter they appear, as if some element of light consumed. Yet doth one strange and greatly evil thing loom with menace against the dawn, the shadow of false and self-seeking men who seize the banner of righteousness and with unclean hands uplift it. to the deceiving of many: and yet even here, I know, it is the love of Right and not of Wrong that doth mislead; and as the light increases surely the pure in heart shall know their own and shun the deceiver of souls. And what of the Good that late thou sawest? O still I see the good, and with clearer eyes; and lo. it seems that, in the light of the New Dawn, greater and always greater grows the good, and nearer and always nearer. For now, with the rising sun. a company of angels in new flight, lift their wings and come upon the day; and one is the Angel of Freedom, and one the strong Angel of Justice, and one is the unconquerable Angle of Peace, and one is the Angel of Hope Everlasting. With a great and wonderful burst of light they come, and with loud music of instruments and many voices. Page One hundred sixty Page One hundred sixty-one Montague Hall Happenings Prof. Vass surprised Messrs. Wood and MeManaway bv giving them 100 (together) on their history exam. Tom Owings, speaking of a certain football team, declared his belief that some of the players were playing under a “consumed” name. I)r.

Mine ain’t a story. Got no plot, counter-plot, climax, anti-climax; nothing ’cept time order. 1 don’t believe in such fictitious stufr. They say a story oughter be a true picture of life, but that its gotter have all the home-made properties that some gray-headed English ’fesser discovered to keep pace with the dashes Edison, Bell and Marconi made in science. 1 been living eighteen years and haven’t struck a climax or nothing yet. If I have I didn’t know it, and I usually sec the things that ob or construct me.” “In other words, you believe in telling ’bout the warts on a pickle, and not the pickle.” “No,” says I, “but I don’t think it’s a square deal to give unto fiction the things that are Nature’s. Old Mother made the war as well as the green meat under it.” “You are kwite illogical. What minute were you born on, ’er was it April first. “May 19, minute not recorded,” says I. “You muster got on one of Wordsworth’s clouds the way you’re driftin’ from the subject. Where’s your story?” When I told him it had to do with a reception, he looked around as pleased as a Harrison Fisher model in a cheap Greek cafe. He gave my subject more consideration, however, than the country editor did the little po’me I tried to sell him the Spring previous, entitled, “Love and Prize-fights.” Course, I expected him to. “Just plain reception,” says I. “Went to it last night at the church, plenty of sashes and hair ribbons, all making rings around rosies.” “They do at most occasions” he half-way insulted. “This ’us different,” says I. “No modern fichshun found birth there. Weren’t no rose-strewn pathways where hearts were enraptured. If they wuz they muster been used to sleeping on table-forks, for it ’as some hot night, and crowded too, for a heart to stray off without some strong arm for an escort. Enny rat that could make room for Dan Cupid’s arrow that night don’t ever need a hammock in th’ shade.” The p’fesser didn’t interrupt any more ’till the end of the story and here’s the way it wuz: When I stimulated my hair and walked into the auditorium, what did I see but an auction block. “Sakes alive,” said I, “I thought Abraham Lincoln done away with that afore 1’s born.” A nice looking old lady greeted me with a smile while she gently surrendered unto me a square card with some canine decoration on it, bearing testimony to the notable efforts of some artist in the number “Fifty.” “Match up,” said the kind old lady. “Fifty-fifty,” says T. Page One hundred sixty-four Just across the aisle from me preciously sat a hundred or two subjects for Governor Morris. If I knew enough ’bout millinery I’d tell you how pleasingly they were dressed. If I knew enough ’bout, botany I’d compare ’em to some sort ’uv fragrant llower that ’ud make you weep with admiration. If I knew enough ’bout facial expressions I’d give you a few scattered anecdotes on the way they twisted their sharpnel eyes on the stately forts, which, in turn, rocked to catch the bullets. But even if I had a tank full o’ such knowledge, why bore you with trying to make receptions and deathly-girly non-synonomous words. It’s as undoable as washin’ yer own collars. First thing I knew the number had crep’ up unto forty-nine and mine ’as next. I rose and bereft my cashmere of all over-indulgincys in the way of accumulated soil. I also ’xamined the aisle of my hair to see that it was longitudinal. I stood bravely to face the ’xquisite: fate’s inaugural choice. “Fifty,” was the signal. “I’m pleased ter meet you,” I said, as I joined and rapidly seceded from the hand-shakers union. “Fate has ordained us,” said she. “For three minutes,” I added. Entrustin’ her slender arm to my noble shelter, we forced a route, in uncon-venshunal order, to the social hall. Already the bees were hummin’. 1 haven’t mentioned honey: it’s a figuralite word anyhow. We meandered ’round and ’round, then ’round again. It ’ud be an impossible undertakin’ for a surveyor to picture the details of our I’il sojourn. At least I couldn’t pay to have it done. “How deliteful,” she said, introducin’ her pereepshuns to the decorated hall. “Look, it must be ILullow’ecn with all the black cats bangin’ ’round.” “Uh-huh,” I said. “Cats-paw rubber heels.” Entrancin’ly lurch in” her golden glance on me, she inquisitcly sought if I were a Freshman. 1 never took history, but I answered to the best of my temperature-stirred memory, wipin’ my brow of the cringin’ humidity. Just then our little dialog was sundered by a eooin’ of the bell. The girl met next 1 ehoiced. We exchanged our ’glad-to-mect-ycrs’ like royalty and caught the next swing of ether for some light talk. The girl was a blonde. I don’t remember the kind ’uv eyes she had, but she had a pretty nice colleckshun of words. Said she was awf’ly hot. Was a Freshman. Likes English. Dislikes mathematics and the like. Goes to mountains in summer. Knows several boarding students at Furman. Likes church she ’tends. Enjoys reading Scott. Plays tennis. Has two married sisters. Father has auto. Loves two teachers. Others are bum. Crazy ’bout Greenville. “Have you been to a fortune teller?” I hammered. She dissented. “You needn’t,” I said. “Shakespeare could ’uv wrote twenty years longer with that imagination.” We went an’ got some punch afore she had time to pull the trigger. It got hotter than ever inside the big hall and ’uv course we couldn’t go in the kitchin wherefrom some cool whiffs could be felt to eminatc. We talked on and on, the main points ’uv which have been sifted in some cheese cloth and weighed on a gram scale. Just as we were partin’ on the ’pointed second, she said, “Isn’t it dreadfully hot?” “The wise guys say contentment comes from within,” I said, passing on to Number Three. Page One hundred sixty-five A brunette, small, brown-eyed, very “cute,” shook my hand heartily. 1 opened the conversation. “Interestin' to watch the folks ain't it? See all sorts of 'spressions. Some are forced and some are not. Hard to discriminate.” “Did you bring your philosophy book with you?” was what I got. She proceeded, in delicate enunciation, to learn more 'bout myself than I knew. When she got thru that she went to monologin' on the big time she had at the seashore in August. Went in bathin' every afternoon, danced at night, and drank chocolate silly-bubs between events. Oazy 'bout surf bathin’. Fellows surged 'round her incessantly. Wished she was there at the moment she was talkin' to me. “So you’re crazy 'bout Wrightsvillc, are you?” “W-l-L-D about it.” “it's very delitcful,” 1 said. “1 jerked soda in the pavilyn durin’ vacation.” The scene was shifted. She preferred to talk about school. Told her 1 shut my bizness with the doors and never talked shop talk at social funkshuns. We 'scussed the political outlook and had just reached Grapejuice's part when the gong placed me on the passing show. Three strikes couldn't put me out. There were too many players for the umpire to watch. if 1 had been able 1 would have had an engravin’ made of Number Four and placed it just ahead of this article, it’s pretty near necessary to know how she looks in order to justify yourself about her. However, though a picture’s on the tall.grape vine, I'll not try to give a type illustration. Of course, 1 could tell you 'bout this damsel in Flow’ry, superfl'ous language, but I don’t want to fool anybody into thinking I’m a feminin' illustrator. I might be called on later for the same evil. I caught mv newly 'lcctcd by the arm and pranct up and down the corridor, gently grudgin' well-selected phrases that were, and I hoped would be. drowned in the torrent. Mary Pickford was her hobby. She was a victim of the popular fad. Idolized her. “An' possibly you’re inclined to’rd actin’?” I advocated. “1 ach d in a play at home onct,” she shied. “Kxc'lcnt.” I said. “You have somethin’ that a lot uv beginners haven't. You got experience.” The fart well hell tolled the knell of partin' day. The dame departed to the cloak-room, and i was no longer harassed. “And, now, p'fesser,” said I, “What would you say. is the climax, or the anti, whichever it is?” “The last 1k� 1I,” he said.

The designers of our suits for Young Men are young—young in years, young in spirit, in thorough accord and sympathy with the young man who appreciates REAL style. They know how to drape a coat: how to produce clean-cut elegant lines; how to contribute the dash and vim that strike the young man just right. Our suits are not freaky. The majority of young men do not want freakness. They want distinctive style—young men’s style —not eccentricity. We know what they want. We give it to them. See the suits—then judge. Strictly one price, and your money back if anything goes wrong. New Hats. New Furnishings. New Everything for Men's wear.

Page One hundred ninety-one Your Success Depends Largely Upon Your Training YES. it is irue that native ability counts for quite a bit, but unless you have an opportunity to work right along, with some one who is an expect in the particular line in in which you are interested, your native ability will not avail much. Our strong fort is the right kind of training for HEAL business—the training that gives you the know how assurance —and the “job will then take care of itself. We emphasize this point because some young | eopk and apparently some business colleges, seem to have an idea that the chief function of a business college is to furnish jobs rather than business training. We deliver “the goods in both. And we set that the training is such that you can make good when you get the chance—and that is the important point. If you want to be a winner instead of a per|K tual “job chaser” you should get your business training with us. Draughon’s Practical Business College Phone 723 Parkins Building - - Greenville, S. C.
