E, Alrhmtj A child looked up, and I saw in his eyes The warmth and color of summer skies, The joy that thrills in the skylark ' s tone, And trust in a dreamworld all his own. A boy ' s eyes burned with the bitter cost Of life ' s first lesson — a dreamworld lost — And the longing that answers the storm-dimmed light Of the safe home cove, in a lone sea fight, A man ' s eyes looked at me, and I read Of one who had seen life ' s roses dead; Who had learned in many a weary mile To look at life as it is— and smile. 24 — EVERiL WoRttELU

1915 G, W. U. PERISCOPE 1915 HOMER T. SHAVER. JOSEPH R KINGSBURY PAUL B SEtL.EE, LEO V. TERRY, President Vice- President Secretary Financial Secretary ®ljr Atbbtir Aaanriatinn The college year 1914-T5 opened with brighter prospects for ath- letics than for some time past. The long-standing athletic debt had been paid off the preceding spring, and the slate was clear to put G. W. U. again on the athletic map. It was not sought to reintroduce every branch of athletics at once, but it was felt that successful seasons in track and basketball would be forerunners of a more comprehensive program next year. Leslie C. McNemar, Assistant Professor of Political Science, had been appointed Director of Athletics by the University authorities, and early in the year set about getting things under way. Membership cou- pons were gotten out through various agents under the financial secretary and his assistant, Leo C. Terry and John S. Bixler. The first meeting of the Athletic Association was held November 11, at which a constitu- tion was adopted. Elections were held early in January. Meanwhile the men’s basket-ball team and also that of the co-eds had started their seasons, and in February the annual track meet was held. The year ' s work has been a success generally from both the athletic and financial standpoints. This fact is due to the valiant efforts of Professor McNemar and a small group of students and alumni who as- sisted him. The support of the student body as a whole has been disap- pointingly weak. Only a small proportion showed their interest by join- ing the Athletic Association when coupons were ssued last fall, and of these there are quite a few who have failed to make good with the prom- ised two dollars for the season ticket of the Association. It is hoped that such success as was achieved this year will arouse greater interest and support for next year ' s efforts. 26
