We do hope, however, that every student may be able to look upon The Star of ' 09 with much pride and find in its pages material that will cause the year 1 909 to live long in the memories and hearts of all who had the good fortune to pass our way. ®Ip Sifttngs eralh Press Arkitbripliia, rk.

' 09. 21 (Elasa nf ' 09 ■ 1 T HARDLY behooves one of this day and time to promulgate the famous records of each illustrious member of this class, for knowledge beyond perfection has already claimed them for her own. However as this task has been shifted upon such a youthful head as mine. I will merely attempt to show them up. This discussion will not take each one from the inno- cence of the cradle but from their life as school boys and girls. First in rank is President Hugh D. Hart. On wings of knowledge he has soared to realms unheard of by the rest of us, and for that reason, we know little of him, beyond this. Yet w e, who stand gazing, in utter astonishment, at him as he takes his upward flight, reap some consolation from the old adage, No bird soars so high but that he must return to get food. We are expecting Hugh to start his earthward flight towards the President ' s chair of the United States. Along side of this renowned member stands our own little Squat (Clar- ence Parsons.) Ha! Ha! Words are inadequate to express our appreciation of such a one among us, and outside of being sorely afflicted with a Perpetual Motion Whooping Cough, we can size him up in the words of poet Odem Walker, I ' m it, Ah! Ah! Beryl Henry, The Athletic Kid, demands here, a few words of commendation. First in play, first in work, first in the hearts of her little school friends. She came to Henderson as little Beb but time hath wrought mira- culous changes upon her. She ranks now among the oldest, in age, and she has the honor of belonging to the Grand Height Triumvirate composed of herself, Luther Beasley, and Waitie Butler, she, (Beryl) being classed No. 3. She holds the world ' s record for Standing Broad Grin, and The Hash Put. It might be of benefit to her to add that when very small she copped first prize at a baby show, in a Beauty Contest. Nos. one and two of this Grand Triumvirate, Luther Beasley and Waitie Butler demand the attention of the entire scholastic body as they perambulate about their various and sundry duties, towrering above the common mass of peo- ple. Lessons quake before their beseeching hungry eyes, for they know they are soon to be devoured and mastered. Never have Luther and Waitie been known to say that little word can ' t. Even Cupid failed in his case of introduc- tion. Pushing upward they go on through this life (hand in hand). Another great organization among the members is The Flirts. Six com- pose this audacious little band. Judging from their serious, solemn and uncon- cerned personal appearance you would never think them guilty of such frivolous conduct, and yet, on the sly they are. The guilty parties are: Christina Moore ) Harry Henderson ) Ida Posey r The Fluffy Ruffles Marvin Holemon r The Candy Kids Mary Steele ) Edgar Dean ) But when these flirting days are over, for they are more or less (mostly more) in the life of each one of us, we shall behold them: 22 In the world ' s broad field of battle In the bivouac of Life, Not as slow dumb driven cattle. But as heroes in the strife. May Hughes who hails from Benton, the Citadel of the South, has been among us, now, for three years. So long, indeed, that we have about become accustomed to her smiling grin and winning ways and I ' m sure the Seniors, Juniors, etc., of the coming year will be loath to be deprived of such a jolly care free lassie. For one of her age, she is very innocent, but this is due to her early associations with Blondie. About the biggest thing I w ould undertake to embrace is my next subject Emmie Hays. She has bsen chosen as the most popular girl in Henderson College and rightly so, too, for she has a heart in her like a trolley car, Always room for one more. Her most peculiar characteristic is that she treats all men alike. No tongue would dare out-claim our Silver-tongued Orator Skipv ithe Adams. His words of wisdom, each day, are seeking prominence in the Sen- atorial Chamber, and long ago was he hailed as The Coming Senator Adams. Good morning! Pleased to meet you ! Perhaps the smallest, and yet the most significant member of our class is Leta Wright. Wise, she assumes tasks that would vex the president of this great country, and yet she does accomplish them with astonishing alacrity. Indeed, she is a w onderful creature, notwithstanding her minute statue. In this case, specially is it true that precious jewels are done up in small packages. Like a cyclone did she whirl among us, this dashing little maid, Mittie Grace Mahan. She is fair to look upon, indeed all beauty of the class is concealed in this one member. Concealed becausa it has never been brought to light, so far. Yet is it necessary for me to say that she is a very timid, blushing little chile, shrinking from Hendersonian Society? No, it isn ' t necessary, for she does not and we a 1 know it. And smart? I guess she is! She says lots of cute things, which she writes down in her little Book of Sayings. Salute! Major Gibbs, Chief Executive of the Heads-up Brigade, with commanding, rather than obeying, manner he walks among his poor, little helpless cadets, burdening their already tired out corporal systems with his oneroug orders. From his listless manner one would judge that he was born at a time when there was nothing doing, but when the double quick march is patted out by his No. i I ' s on the concrete walk, on the way from Evan ' s to Kaufman ' s we can conceive of no more exciting fact than that business is picking up with Mc. Bessie Kaufman, our old maid, (maybe?) has peculiar ways of her own, yet she gets there just the same. Robed in the garment of perfected understanding she steals silently forth from her paternal domicile each morning, to return in the evening, having gathered unto hersslf knowledge more abundantly. That little word love ' has given Sister Kaufman more trouble than anything else, but I think she has partially come to the full realizations of its sensations, however it was accomplished in a Gibberous manner. Prima-donna Tarrant will soon have acquired enough speed in reputation 23 tc make her the foremost singer of the age. Already at this youthful tide, has she refused positions offered as Grand Opera Singer. She has so reached the stage of perfection along this line, that she even recites hsr lessons in tune, but, — sad to say — they ' re almost doleful. Ruford Turrentine expects to make a man of himself, and as he is a pret- ty ene.getic (?) youngster, we have no doubt but what he ' ll come out victorious. As did Caesar remark so will he: I came, 1 saw, 1 conquered ! Only one remains unspoken of, but as I am she, I kinder feel a hesitancy in touching upon such a light weight so excuse me please.

To neglect our many duties never, For great the reward which is at stake. 6 Next year when we return To this our alma mater. Let us not the Sophomores spurn Though we ' ve become a little greater. 7 We ' ll look upon them leniently Excuse their many frivolous ways For we ourselves, will pleasantly Recall the good old Sophomore days. — Emily Lane. 29 As one who cons, at evening, o ' er an albunn all alone, And muses on the faces of the friends that he has known. So I turn the leaves of an annual the idle time to pass For I find the noble likeness Of that stunty Sophomore class. jiT IRST in line, comes Roy Dougan, our president. Who can name one half ' f ' so cute as this blushing little Rounder ? He is accomplished, too. Indeed, so well does he play the cornet, that he is Bugler in the drill. This, too, is worthy of our notice, for he is a commissioned officer, therefore, he has privi- leges. So you see, with all these honors heaped upon him it is no wonder that he modestly blushes perpetually. Our vice president comes next. Miss Vera Meade. A smiling, charming, ■winsome lass, w ith the burning desire in her heart to be the mistress of a doctor ' s home. Behold Coot Brown. Now he is the real package. We love him fof three reasons. First, for his loyalty to the Sophs. This year might have seen him with the Juniors, but nay, the Sophs again claimed him as their own and thus he remains with us. Second, for his never-dying fame as catcher on the base ball team. And lastly, he is the most popular boy in school. The next wearer of the Lavender and White, is Miss Alice Pipkin, that lady who admonishes all boys, ' ' Have your suit Taylor made. And here are Walter and Frank McCarroll. They are handsome guys, im- portant too. They are the two McCarroll boys, Frank and Walter, Mrs, McCarroll ' s two sons, Walter and Frank and the McCarroll brothers. These many little titles serve to make our hearts swell with pride when we point to them. Come, Bevie, let the vast multitude gaze on you. This shy, timid, little girl is our artist, who paints foot ball boys and basket ball girls. Be reverend, now, for you are in the August presence of our two Ministers, Roy John and Ben Few. Their persuasive eloquence has appealed to boys and girls alike, and the Sophs are justly proud of these Fishers of men. Our next little co-eds are Bonnie and Ruth — better known as Miss Burnit and Sister Kit. They are demure little maids, both skilful performers on the piano. See, now, our book-agent, for it is Claud Murry w ho has traversed this land with the Century Book of Facts and sought to induce every head of a household to enlarge his library with this splendid volume. Our next fair ladies are Emily Lane and Nina Williams. The first a poet of rare genius — but true to the poet ' s utterance, Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear. 30 Nina is that famous essayist, and justly has she won her rep. But who is the gentleman there, who spends so much of his time in the library ? Why that is Wesley Rogers. The foreigner there, is Chesley Gulp, from the old North State; and the wild looking guy is Boscoe, the snake-eater, That lean and hungry looking lad is Ham Gilliam, the greatest orator of the day. His favorite subject is, Boneless Ham, the idol of his greedy affections. Turn your gaze next on Miss Glaudia Turrentine, our studious lady, and next behold the weeping Miss Irma Marshall, who moans, Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. Miss Ruth Wilson next appears with her humble apology, horribly sorry, I ' m sure. But we must not in our summary forget to speak a word for our de- parted sister, Kate Baggott. The storm at Brinkley robbed her of her home, and she was forced to go from these sacred precincts and to withdraw from our class. Now, did you ever in all your life see such a bunch of cuteness, and beauty as our last specimen, Mat ? A veritable rose, she is. Her eyes are green, her nose is red and her mouth — why it is a half moon. But the rest of our quota- tion comes trooping to our minds, Full many a flower is born to blush unseen And waste its sweetness on the desert air. And so have 1 tried to tell you, briefly, of the Sophs. Here they are, each and all — a noble bunch, a sturdy bunch, a stunty bunch. — Mattie Lee Miller. 31 OFFICERS: President HUGH LATIMER Vice President GILBERT GILMAN Secretary OLA PARKER Treasurer LILLIE PARKS Colors: Green and White Flower: Dais}f Motto: Youth is the only fault that corrects itself.

The haughty Sophomores think they ' re IT The Juniors think the same, As for the mighty Seniors, Words their wisdom cannot name. We never flirt, we never shirk. We never cut a class. And we do not doubt it ' s the teacher ' s fault. That we all so seldom pass. Our honored President has said. And in Ruskin the phrase is found. That the heaviest and most fruitful ears Hang lowest to the ground. We ' ve taken this saying to our hearts And kept it hard and tight, And not in puffing up is found The key to our magic might. You ' ll hear from us in future years. When from these halls we pass. And count it an honor that you have known The members of our class. So here ' s to the class of 1912! Our class, that we all love best; In the loyal hearts of her girls and boys. May her memory always rest. — Alice Haltom. 34 ||tfitorg of thf iFrpBhmmt (Elass N THE summer of 1908 a heavenly council was held between Jupiter, Venus and Cuoid, concerning the classes of Henderson, as to which class should have their supreme favor and paternal protection. After a most august deliberation it was decided that the Freshman class should have the allegiance of the divine council. The next and most important work of the divine counselors was to select proper subjects for members. Jupiter was chosen to select men while Venus was to select maidens and the urchin Cupid was the common messenger for the two. Such prudence and wisdom did Jupiter exhibit in his selections that a noble band of Freshman youths now grace our halls such as w ould make dim in the background the whole career of Socrates, and Atlas might in his old age wander off to some peaceful realm and leave the burden of the whole world on the shoulders of these modern Hercules. Venus sifted the whole world and trans- ported thither many a Cleopatra; and not beauty merely, for along with it she brought many queens of Sheba. The amorous boy, plying his peculiar art, has so united the powers of those that now they are indeed worthy of Ganymedian honors. We know that puffing-up is the surest and most fatal sign of decay, but Who-so knoweth the truth and proclaimeth it not hath neither part nor lot in the rewards of the blest. Should we fail to make known the wisdom and manliness of these worthy youths and the wit and beauty of these fair maidens, for us the sky would be dark- ened and the noon-day sun turned to blood. Jupiter would overwhelm us with a storm of thunder-bolts and Tartarus would be our portion. Therefore w e make haste with the more alacrity to sing the praises of this class as well as to refute some of the slander cast upon us by those vile reptiles, the Second Academic and Sub-Freshman Classes. These vile w retches have insinuated that some of the noble members of this illustrious class have fallen by the way; to put it in plain language, have gotten cold feet, and thereupon they dreaded the stormy way before them and securing certain patient beasts guaranteed not to balk at the most difficult path or to shy at the fiercest animal that might be- set the way, did bestride them and ride upon them, past those fierce beings, the Profs. It is also declared by these same slanderous persons who are made jealous of our attainments that they intend to leave behind these gentle and well broken beasts. Both stories are entirely unfounded. With this reputation and denials of these charges we leave you. If you would see the character of these youths you have only to visit Henderson and see for yourself. Since Jupiter and his divine collaborations have condescended to give their support to this class, who doubts but that when we go out, each with a roll of sheepskin under his arm that we will revolutionize the world and bring about the realization of the Golden Age. — Marvin Warlick. 35 OFFICERS President JAMES EVANS Vice-President FRANK STEED Secretary CLEVE CATHEY Treasurer ORA HUGHES CLASS ROLL James Evans Odie Mitchell Bessie Ward Percy Turrentine John Wood Ed Trice Ozella Richardson Mildred Gerig Wright Hogan Vernon Bruce Mabel McNeal Janet Hinemon Frank Steed Brice Kaufman Ora Hughes Hester Woozencraft Frank Williams Lawrence Newberry Lela Mitchell Anna Stark Foster T.

For always she brightened the path of sad Phoebe And alw ays rejoiced when the donkeys grazed near. Our teacher in history is always delighted When search has been made to find out something new; And V is e ' er ready to tell of the lyrics And statues by Plato, preserved now in Rome; An Archimedes sure we have in our Math, class; P knows that a six comes next after a five, So Conquer, we say, As you go is not idle. For victory we ' ll win if we still persevere. Our lessons in Caesar are something terrific, Not seldom so hard that we scarcely get through; But vi ' hen we have studied and then read quite badly. Our blunders are told just by two words, Ho! Kd! The praises we give to the grand Roman leader, The words that we speak of his noble career, Are mingled with wishing he had never written, Because of his w ars we sometimes have war here. When we shall have climbed to the heights of a Freshman We ' ll not think a moment we ' ve gone far enough; But onward we ' ll press like Athen ' s great orator.

But if you met a brilliant lad With graceful manly bearing. Or if perchance a smiling lass Who ' s knowledge too was daring. ' Twas but an Academic two The pride of our Mrs. Borden, Who crammed their heads through With notes on Enoch Arden But now a score of years have passed Their learned heads are whitened, But teachers all still love this class Whose visions they have widened. In the many fields of life Positions we are filling Opportunities are ripe And we are all excelling. Some are Doctors of the Law And not a few are teachers. In the state of Arkansas, While other boys are preachers. Some are filling public halls With great artistic paintings. And one our admirations calls With his exquisite chantings. Some are prominent in state And others in the nation, While one a soldier brave and great Has won great approbation. Another ' s master of the stage In an Eastern city. His comic face is all the rage He charms us with his ditty. One brave man astounds the world With wonderful inventions. Another learns that Latin nouns Should have but two declensions. One has found that Shakespeare lived Before the ancient Homer, Another one that Tennyson Had used the word a gonner. One had won at marathon And broke the Grecian record. Another one composed a song Immortalizing Hector. One in politics is great Another is a farmer. Only one has met his fate And he was just a knocker. Now I fold this litde roll This dream about the future, May we all with heart and soul A higher ideal nurture. — High Pockets. 41 OFFICERS President MAMIE WOZENCRAFT Vice-President MYLES BURTON Secretar]) HOWARD THOMAS Treasurer LUTA EVANS Motto: IVe don ' t k.now where we ' re going, hut Toe ' re on our Way.

A. is really the most powerful of all organizations in J ' Henderson College, since it is composed of nearly every member of the school and proves to be the bond of union between them all. In this organi- zation are found prigs? By no means! Here are the brightest, happiest and most useful girls in all the school and those who stand highest in thought and scholarship. The Y. W. C. A. was organized September 1 1, 1904, and since then has steadily grown both in membership and usefulness. A cabinet of twelve rep- resentative girls from their number looks after the needs of the organization and keeps in touch with the work of several of the sister colleges. These girls meet on Monday morning to attend to all the business and Wednesday for a short prayer service which is a great help in performing the duties of the week. The regular devotional meetings are held every Sunday afternoon, the first Sunday of each month being observed as Mission Sunday. Aside from this there are two Mission classes, which have done very satisfactory work in the study of foreign lands. The Bible study this year has been carried on in Sunday School in the name of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and no special classes have been organized as in past years.

His beautiful form befits a sprite, In tree or water, shimmering white; Straight as a reed beside the Nile, He walks erect in godly style: When old Sol riseth to shed his rays And drive aw ay the morning haze, Our hero grasps his little gun; The birds are quiet the rabbits run To seek a place in darksome shade, Or ancient haunt in secret glade. He kills them all, e ' en little wren And checks the beetle ' s buzzing spin. At times, with care, his form he decks. And even hunts the fairer sex.

Since its organization in 1895 it has exerted one of the most ennobling in- fluences in the college life. A true spirit for mental culture and advancement has been characteristic of its members. The social side has not been neglected. From the halls of the cherished Upsilon Phi have gone forth writers, singers, painters, musicians, and man ' s best friends — cooks.

Such is the character of the men virho have gone out from Henderson College as members of the Gamma Sigma Literary Society that he who writes of them need not be ashamed of his task nor be in any trouble as to what he shall say of them. The men who are at the head of affairs in church, state and business afford a good subject for any man whatever purpose he may have in writing. The history of this society, both public and private is written in the lives of her members. The threads of her life are inseparably inter-woven with theirs The Gamma Sigma has been in existence almost from the founding of the college. It was organized by a few young men who realized the advantages to be gained in literary society work. Until the organization of another society for young men in the school scarcely a young man, who made any pretentions at all of doing earnest work, entered the school without feeling the influence of this society. From this society men have gone out to every part of the state, to other states, and to other schools so that it w ields an influence in a constantly w idening circle. in 1 905 a part of the society ' s members w ent out to form the Garland Lit- erary Society as the needs of the school demanded another society. The most cordial relations are maintained betw een the two societies. The society has had a liberal membership throughout its existence and the standard of work has been high. As it has had for its members and officers such men as Robert McSwain, Burrows Head, C. J. Green, R. W. Huie Jr., O. A. Graves, Robert C. Rhodes, Moffet Rhodes and Carl Easterling it is not to be wondered that, through all the misfortunes and difficulties of the school, the so- ciety continued its existence without interruption. Besides these we have mentioned there are many of her members who are helping to swell the ranks of the good citizenship of the country and we have men in other schools who are confidently expected to reflect honor on her name. There is no surer measure for the work of an institution than the character of men it turns out. The Gamma Sigma will stand or fall by this measure. What her future shall be depends entirely upon the men who make up her active membership. J. C. PARSONS. 91 (Hlj? Jtrat O rattnn Against rrub. Ye who think that the power of oratory is decHning at Henderson, who think that it is only represented by the scintillating wit and pompous adjectives of Zeke the forceful logic and soaring periods of Skip, and the slow, lumber- ing appeals of those lesser lights, Ham Gillman and Ram McClellan, know then that the power of invective is not wanting, nor freedom in denouncing the misdeeds of evil doers, and give ear while I tell how Scrub was denounced for his rampant puppy love, and his sickening honey-sweet wooing of the fair sex. Not like the blushing, stuttering Ham, Nor like the blubbering, puffing Ram, But in the style of Odem Highpockets, Soaring upward like flashing sky-rockets. To begin at the beginning : the Gamma Sigma Literary Society had invited those lordly proteges of Minerva, those others favored of the gods, the commis- sioned officers, to attend one of their meetings. Everybody was there; Dean and Turp on the front seat looking like an old-fashioned print of the early church fathers, Skip and Zeke near by, both trying to look like Daniel Webster about to deliver his Bunker Hill oration and both looking — very natur- al; Miss Butler with her hair curled. Miss Wright looking demure as usual and Major Gibbs looking at his girl. Emmie Hayes wore with emphasis that placid Ain ' t 1 good expression she so delights in. Then the fun began. Olin Evans recited The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck. His theory for the apparent pig-headedness of the youngster was that a ball game was in progress on the shore thus attracting his attention. Odem Highpockets read a Eulogy on a Dead Owl. The bird in question was shot by Prof. Hoot. Frank McCarroU read a humorous story recounting the doings of Count Skipo Adamsky at the home of Doctor Tarrant. They married and lived happy ever afterwards. I mean the Count and the Doctor ' s daughter. Whereas Beryl Henry shed two great hysterical tears. May Huges gig- gled aloud and Christina Moore, aw aking from a nap, rubbed her eyes exclaim- ing, Where am I. Quiet having been restored, Marvin Warlick began his oration against Scrub. Verily he did orate much. He was truly Ciceronioan and did lam- bast the aforesaid Scrub unmercifully not even Catiline for all his sins w as worse treated. Mtr b00gram0 Tjtr OR THE past year Dr. Titius Gracchus Mauldin has maintained at his own ' - ' expense a complete apparatus of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph system in his private office halls at Cottage No. I . He has kept the school in complete and instant touch with Duchie Peabody, now on Mars, and has been a source of much interesting news to the Associated Press enroute on his extensive aerial voyages. Following are a few brief extracts of messages sent at various times of the year : All is well today, except that Mr. Proctor took another owl hunt yesterday, and while perambulating along the banks of the Ouachita, lost his footing and wfould have drowned had not his frantic cries for help hastily brought Miss Bussell to the spot. She pulled him out by the hair, the result is that he hasn ' t any since. P. Horace Taylor was stung by a woist in Tuckson Arizona last week. A severe case of impraesario has set in and doubtless one eye will of necessity have to be amputated. The oratorical contest between Skip Adams, Ram McClellan, Hugh Hart and Ham Gilliam was a great success. Gilliam won in a walk. Hart and Mc- Clellan were easily put out of the race, but Adams delivered a masterpiece, and w as beaten only a few points by Gilliam ' s superb delivery. Some base ingrate borrowed Pres. Hinemon ' s four-barrelled shot gun last Friday, broke the trigger, and bringing it home did not even thank him for its use. Now what do you think of this ? It is despicable ingratitude, More trouble today. While walking down the street this morning Ulysses met Ben Few and mistaking him for Polyphemus his old time enemy, he feared revenge would be sought. He immediately drew his stiletto and struck him dead. We get a lay off today. Mr. Rapp, in company with Nimrod ana .jog Cerebeus, left last week with Ted Roosevelt on his African hunt. Latest reports from the dark continent are that he has been captivated by a Zulu damsel, and his return is doubtful. Miss C ora Wilson collapsed on hearing the news, and physicians say that she is in a critical state. A great tragedy occurred at noon. Aubrey Taylor made a bold attempt in broad open daylight to steal away the Diamond King ' s daughter, but in tossing pebbles against the window was heard and shot at by King Jake. The boy made an heroic attempt to escape, but in his haste fell headlong into the oil ■well. Everything is in mourning. Miss Cora Wilson has just completed her latest novel. She sent me the iirst chapter to read. It is quite sentimental, starting off: The villian Gym- nrsium Jim, entered the college dining room, and seizing a fork stabbed a poached egg, and heartlessly watched it bleed to death. 93 Mr. Hinemon let the contract this mornimg for draining the Mediterranean Sea into the Soudan Desert. Squat Parsons has the contract. There is no ' grafting in the deal. Miss Parke, while returning late Saturday evening with a pail of milk met up with Edward Vll. His Majesty hailed her and they began a lively conver- sation, and sad to say, Ed drank the milk and immediately went on a stampede. Mr. Foster attempted to interfere but was hastily dispatched by the Prince of Wales. Miss Thornhill and Lafayette Wright were seen yachting on the Ouachita last week and have not been heard of since. It is rumored that James Ray- mond Haygood capsized the boat through jealousy. The last seen they were near the place where the Ouachita empties into the Styx. Miss McLaughlin was sent on a searching tour, but latest communications are that she was unwilling to pay Charon the three cent ferry toll and has returned. Mr. Mitchell eloped last night with Carrie Nation. They were last seen at twelve o ' clock at Daleville going north. Although this was a surprise to some, we hope Mrs. Nation will reform Prof. John in the use of cigarettes. The chorus met as usual last night. At the close the audience w as to be en- tertained with a baritone solo by Miss Parke. But they couldn ' t, so they left. Mrs. Borden was seen carrying on quite a flirtation with old Chief Geroni- mo. She will be court martialed today. Rush this in. At a reception last night Bishop Hansford became overbalanced and top- pled over into the punch bowl. His heartrending cries for help attracted all to the spot of the catastrophe. But they came too late; he was found seated in Beryl Henry ' s lap gasping Saved, Saved. 94 pbtlomatltfan ICtt rar ortrtg MOTTO: To live and learn and be all thai does not harm distinctive womanhood.

Alva Tarrant arose, her face w reathed in serious frowns, and started forth to locate the noise. It was soon discovered in room No. 3 I where Mrs. Borden and Miss Park were visiting Misses Bussell and McLaughlin and enjoying a midnight feast. Miss Tarrant called a meeting of the hall judges, viz: Alice Pipkin, Vera Meade. Mittie Grace Mahan, Inez McDuffie, and Annie Shell. They met in Chairman Pipkin ' s room with grave and austere faces, and decided that each of the criminals should copy the Declaration of Independ- ence five hundred times and bs reported to the office. When judgment was pronounced upon the guilty, Mrs. Bor- den went sobbing to her room. Miss Park and Miss Bussel stopped in tl e middle of their barn-dancing and sought their respective beds, while Miss McLaughlin, with tears running down her plump cheeks, seized her Bible and sought eagerly for the 2 1 st Chapter of Elijah.

With a pickle in mouth and cracker in hand Chewing and laughing go the happy band. Till their feet drag slow As tired they grow . And they seek their beds without word or command. There they snooze and sleep till the morning bell clear Peals forth its command but not a sound do they hear, And awake just in time To catch up with the line. And eat their breakfast like a ravenous bear. 100 W iii CALAKA6HALL Colo rs .

I visit May and Beryl, Seniors both are these; They tell me of Hun Darlin, Miss Thornhill, (the whole cheese.) I visit Chris and Mary. Now they are Seniors, too. But just the same they tell me Of Davy Pig and Hugh. Cleve and Irma next I meet And Irma begins to bawl: Tis better to have loved and lost Than never loved at all. ■ Cow Haltom next 1 visit — She rooms all by herself. She ' s mourning for old Simpkins — This tiny little elf. Ruth and Bessie bid me welcome In their same old jolly w ay. They tell me of that Norval Man, And Massey ' s famous play. Then turning next to Alta Mae And Rae, alas! alack! I hear accounts of C. C. Reid And Military Clack. I come into my own room Glad of a chance to rest. I try to choose among these girls Which one I love the best. But ah! my dream is broken By a step upon the stair. The door is softly opened; Mrs. Borden ' s standing there. Get to your work immediately! Now what do you think of that? Twas just a vision, nothing more — And 1 was merely at. 102 ParalitHf Mh Olluh ' President Vice- ' pTesidenl Secretary Treasurer Mary Steele Alice Haltom Irma Marshall - Beryl Henry MEMBERS May Hughes Christina Moore Cleve Cathey Mary Williamson Mattie Lea Miller Rea Scroggin Alta Mae Williams Bessie Pearcy Ruth Pearcy Twr TfffT 103 S Wiia Ja 104 ®lf Snugly IfxMt Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, lend me your ears I come not to enjoy myself but to extol the virtues of the ' Lovely Five. Here under the leave of Coot — for Coot is a lovely lad — so are they all lovely lads — come 1 to speak of Coot, Dock, Batsy, Alphabet and ' Gar. They area ncble band — studious, very handsome and they have chosen to call themselves lovely. If it were so, it were a lovely virtue and sure they are a lovely band. You all do not know how at the Senior Bazaar each lad and lass did cast their vote. And it came to pass that Coot ' was declared the most popular boy in Henderson Doth this in Coot seem lovely? Yet they themselves do say that they are lovely. And surely they must know. Ah, friends, if 1 were disposed to move your hearts to covetousness 1 would tell you now of Dock. But you in turn would want to join the Second Academic Class, of w hich class he is a most loyal member. I choose rather to tell you next of ' Batsy. No one has seen anyone half so lovely; no one hath seen anyone who could sell the Century Book of Facts half so well. Yea, verily this youth did brave the perils of a book- agent ' s life and journey forth to earn some coin. Does this in ' Batsy seem lovely? But surely Batsy knows. If you have smiles to cast, cast them now. Here is Al- phabet. I remember how he once was called Shiner. He is a stalwart lad. He, too, has been called lovely. That he, like Dock, is loyal cannot be denied. How doth he love the Second Academic Class. Five years hath his name graced the roll, and so ' twill be for ages. Behold Gar. This is the loveliest of them all. His mouth has been likened unto the finny tribe. For he is a lovely lad. Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up to such a burst of admiration. That they are lovely they do say themselves. What gross conceptions they have had alas! 1 do not know They choose to call themselves the Lovely Five, and will no doubt, continue thus to think. — Mattie Lea Miller. 105 Commandant COL. J. H.

The heavenly note to raise. Appollo ' s lyre attains it not, Cecilia ' s organ seems Unworthy of the mighty task; Scotch harpers can but dream Or dimly fancy, This mortal man supreme. Our Batsy rides the Winged Horse, O ' er sea and fertile fields. He fights a Chimera, bold andj«brave, Behind a godly shield; With stroke of death A mighty blade he wields. What though the world doth mock and laugh It thus w ill not be long; Bold Batsy heedeth not the laugh. But meets it with a song. And broadly smiles. At all who do him w rong. His smile doth cheer a million hearts, Who need these smiling balms; ' Tis better than a sermon great. Or one of David ' s Psalms. This great physic Their troubled minds doth calm. But Batsy hath an only fault. ' Tis not that he is stupid, Nay, ' tis this, he ' s an easy mark For the piercing darts of Cupid. But when he falls ' Tis not with spirits drooped. no He smileth at the ladies fair From morning until night. And verily they cherish love For this, our noble knight And wag their heads At such a handsome sight. What prettier sight can greet the eye, Than he in uniform. His face v rould grace an eastern court Or calm an ocean ' s storm: And vile the man Who dares to do him harm. Smile on, thou dreamer, evermore. There ' s power in that grin; The power to w in a lovely prize Or soothe the wrath of men. O, stay it not, Though many fortunes spin. —Frank McCarroll iMffl.

Must be read to be appreciated. 113 As a part of the tree planting exercise?, Mr. Hugh D. Hart, president of the Senior Class, delivered an address, from which the following excerpts are taken: The occasion which brings us together at this appointed hour is a most serious one. We have gathered together beneath this spacious temple of the firma- ment to plant this tree, which in years to come when we have long since pass- ed forever from those portals yonder, shall rear its stately head toward heaven and with branches extended, shall testify in mute eloquence, that we once were here. t this psriod of our lives we love to peer forth into the magic future; we strive to formulate some system of philosophy, or some phil- osophy of life, by which our footsteps may he galded in pleasant pathways, and whose protection will prevent our being hurled to destruction against some hid- den reef. In history, and indeed in our own experiences, we have seen young men and young women start forth upon their earthly pilgrimages, with hopes and prospects as auspicious as our own; some of them hov rever, we have seen to gcize intently upon the star of Fame; they fain would pluck it from the con- stellation it adorns: but when they have seized it in their grasp, the alluring charm of its luster has vanished forever, and they, failing to find happiness in Fame and earthly honor, have spent their remaining days chasing other stars, which phantomlike seemed to beckon them from still more lofty heights. Then too, we have watched the erring courses of others, who have become intoxi- cated upon the lucious wine of pleasure. We have seen the mantle of respect fall from their shoulders, as in their wild delirium they have forgotten reputation and have sacraficed honor upon the idolatrous shrine of their devotion, until their dreams were only of that narrow empire which men call self. And as we have watched them, we have seen their foot-falls suddenly cease to tinkle on the tufted fields of time, and in the midst of their revelry, they have plunged headlong into the gloomy depths of the grave. And as we have looked for our rule of life or philosophy to guide us, seeing the wrecks and ruins of all these wasted lives that lie strewn along the pathway of history, we shudder with an inhuman horror at the irony of Fate which placed us here to journey on an inevitable crusade, only terminated by the grave. But in the grim and dismal moment of despair, Hope walks forth upon the troubled waters of the soul and with fingers reaching reverently toward heaven, points triumphant- ly toward another star whose transcedent luster cannot be dimmed by the mists of life, nor dispelled by the gloom of death; and far of yonder, where this guardian Angel of life directs our gaze, we see trembling and throbbing and pulsating in the heavens, the pure and spotless star of Service to Mankind ! Ah, my friends, you may search through all the musty pages of Socrates and Aristo- tle and Plato, but now here will you find enunciated a philosophy so sublime, so noble, or so lofty, as this doctrine which teaches us to serve our fellowmen ! In conclusion allow me to remind the young ladies and gentlemen of the Junior Class that the time is not far distant when the diadem of Seniorhood w hich now rests upon our heads shall adorn your brows; when this imperial purple which we wear shall descend upon your shoulders; when this spade, which I now deliver to your president, itself the symbolic scepter of Senior power, and w isdom and influence, shall be wielded in your hands. Through- out all the bright and shining pathway of our Alma Mater ' s future progress, God in Heaven forbid that it should ever be w ielded by unworthy hands. But rather, may Freshmen join hands with Sophomore, and Sophomore with Junior, and Junior with Senior, and all, united by common bonds of union and friend- ship, march onward and upward to the goal of a liberal culture; that they may approach nearer and nearer to the statue of the of the One Perfect Man; Him who captive, led captivit -. Wlio robbed the y-i ' ave of victory. And took the stint; from Death ' . ' x]imt s Sattnt Once upon a midnight dreary, while Squat studied tired and weary On a sermon he had flunked on twice before; Coughing, snoozing, even napping, suddenly there came a tapping, Like some knocker, gently rapping, rapping at his cabin door; Tis some saphead, Parsons mut- tered, tapping at my cabin door. Only this, and nothing more. VI ell indeed does Squat remember, it was in the cold December, And the mourning wind did whis- tle, through the creaky cabin floor; Awfully Squat dreaded Sunday, for it was upon that one day That his sermon he would flunk on, as he ' d often done before; Flunk quite ignominiously, as he ' d often flunked before; He was such a tiresome bore. Flinging then the door wide open, t hat his visitor might mope in. In there flew a jet black raven, like some pessimistic bore; Not the least red tape displayed he. not a bit of time delayed he; Like some regal monarch stayed he just above Squat ' s cabin door. Perched and blinked, and nothing more. 116 Then this ebony bird beguiling. Squat ' s fair features into smiling By the propHylactic countenance, that the raven strangely bore; Why have 1 thus let this knave in, ghastly, unauspicious raven. Shall his form thus be engraven, as a fixture o ' er my door. Shall 1 let this winged demon, thus remain above my door ? Shall he stay there any more ? Wondering at the blustering raven, sit- ting there so v ierd and craven. Thinking it might be some prophet, in bird form above his door. Squat accosted thus the raven, tran- quel in its new-found haven, Speak, black crow, if it doth please thee, shall the kids ne ' er cease to tease me. Can no balm cure my distemper, while I linger on life ' s shore ? Quoth the raven, Nevermore. And the raven, coughing, spitting, still is sittmg, still is sitting. On the little Latin pony, just above Squat ' s cabin door; Ever and anon he ' s scoffing, with his stammering beak a coughing Always pouting, never laughing, ' till Squat asking him once more. If distemper e ' er shall leave him, thus he answers as before. Quoth the raven, Nevermore. Hugh D. Hart.

O, Diogene, where dost thy lantern shine? Whither lookest thou for a man? Come hither and estabhsh thy tub near to our friendly walls! Turn thy search- ing light full upon our illustrious bunch of non-comity! Keep in mind the maxim Variety is the spice of life, and thou shalt find them up to now! Verily, verily this martial band will satisfy the long-felt yearning of thy heart and cause thy cup to run over. Perhaps the brightest star of them all is Snake-Eater Johnson, a fourth step-cousin of General Hezekiah Johnson, who fought so gallantly at the bloody battle of Bull-Frog Pond, and who is now paving the way by which his corporal cousin may reach the heights of fame as did his forefather at old Shakerag Mountain. By no means least deserving of that fame which Seezar alone of all Rome merited, is Ram McClellan; indeed, it would stir the heart of a lone wolf to hear Ram ' s thunderous command: Forward, to the rear, march! the deep tones of which seem as the voice of a thousand mighty guns. O Uncle Sam, come get our Ram, And use him in yer biz; For sure as Hec, a ridin ' Beck He ' d make the nation whiz. Uncle Sam will not, hov ever, be benefitted by the services of Slim de Mac. The barometer recently indicated that he possessed the altitude of three meters; and that perennial snows abounded upon his cranium. The lankosity of this individual has won for him a place amang the Potsdam Giants. It is said that the soul of ancient Miltiades transmigrated and has found a resting place within the limber frame of Corporal Scrub Gerig, the hero of many a hard fought battle with the world ' s adversities, such as stingy boys and wasp nests, and all who prevaricate contrary to the brightness of his godlike counte- nance. There are rumors that he even conquered Cupid and now has the boy enlisted on his side. Rub-a-dub, dub! See Corporal Scrub! Within the ranks of Company A, there is a physical phenomenon, namely. Wabbling Shypoke— a jolly lad, but always deploring the fact that he is about the only one in his squad; anyhow, there are not enough in it to have Raccoon drill. Shypoke has lately been planning to take his squad abroad and hunt for his ancestors. Company A lays claim to another freak: Pneumatic Whitesides. 1 say pneumatic because, being frail, the air moves him about, and assuredly he ' s as windy as a bicycle tire It is inspiring to hear him call time, for his calls sounding like a hungry calf, remind me of home and the farm. Ofttimes he shouts to one of the light-weight sergeants to call the step and immediately there rises upon the morning air, something like the sweet, sad call of the blue- jay. What a profusion of melodies to the tune of Left, left, my wife in dear old Georgia left, etc. Bulldog Gus is a famous character. He is destined to hold a pivot in the world ' s history and ride Pegasus to the sight reading class. At some time he will revolutionize the Holy Order of Ye Knockers, and just as he commands a company so w ill he shout to the hurried march of Time, Colyum right, for- w ard mar-rch, and like a three-headed Cerberus, he will guard the entrance to a world. 120 John Wesley Rogers and P. Horace Taylor are two celebrities who not only show their boldness in drill but also by making conjugal offers in libraries and even at morning chapel. The former wanders about in delightful deleri- um, offering up sundry supplications to the fair goddess installed upon the ped- estal of his soul ' s affections; the latter grasps with a grip of iron, the ancient staff of valor and goes forth in battle array to slay in cold blood, a butterfly for a fair damsel whose heart beats in unison with his, and whose daily prayer as she looks toward her heart ' s Mecca is May no wild beast get him. Sergeant Gillman deserves a place in the Catacombs. He has eyes, but he sees not, for, as Byron said His eyes are with his heart, and that is far away. He belongs to the species sometimes called rara avis. He has very nearly invented per- petual motion and when he succeeds in finding a match to Ned Atkins ' tongue, he will join the two forces and will have untied the Gordian knot. There is a certain tongue, the qualifications of which are nearly sufficient, that of Frank Steed, a noble steed he is, too. He prances around like a clock-work monkey, chattering and laughing and smiling at the ladies. This sergeant is a paragon in drill and the captain, when reprimanding a youngster points to Steed and says: See Sergeant Steed standing there like a bean stick. When Steed is ab- sent, Tom Clark becomes an exemplary character. He is a heart-breaking prodigy at times; always he teaseth the little girls about some poor, luckless swain ' s amorous declarations. But beware, Tommie! Thy day of torture is at hand; even now thy comely frame is the object upon which many fair eyes are fixed. Gentle readers, the best comes last and now the noblest three of them all v rill be pictured. Puss Maudlin, because of his pragmatic (?) bearing in Italian drill and because of his skill w ith the saber, has become an essential to the maintenance of the institution. For the last two years this philanthropic soul has been making his will, and Batsy Murry and Coot Brown, his adopted sons, will fall heirs equally. These two prominent peculiarities are biographed in all the almanacs; the smiles of one and the wit of the other are famous for their restorative powder. Batsy is of ancient Viking lineage and takes great pride in being the descendant of Eric Herjulfson, a famous bard of antiquity (for genealogy of the family see Century Book of Facts .) Coot, a lusty son of Erin, daily boasts of Auld Oirland, of her bogs and fens, of her sw eet, blush- ing maidens. Begorra, says he, Auld Oirland shall be free. Coot, although of royal blood, is unable, on account of the many vi ars in his native land, to trace his ancestry any farther than Mike, the Bloody, of the time of Old King Cole. O verdant isle! Thou hast at last brought forth a man! Thus ends this panorama of variegated humanity, and if any of these gods and demigods should, perchance, overstep the battlements of Olympus, may this be said in their behalf; They had too much ambrosia.

After the opening exercises had been conducted in a halting nxanner by Dr. Proctor of the University of Chica- go, business was in order. First was a report from Boulevard G rr«tt n which he advised that the Taylor boys, together with Zeke Hart be sent home in disgrace on general princi- ples. The question was voted on, and passed, but unfortun- ately was never executed. By this tinte it seemed evident that Prof. James Raymond and the expression teacher had mistaken the meeting for a mere social gathering. Various and sundr - committees were sent to info«Tn them otherwise, but to no avail. Finally Mrs, Borden vociferated th. ' jt unless such frivolity be eliminated, she would throw down her pi sition (as straw boss) and quit the meeting. Thereupon the P esident issued a ukase ordering Sei-geant- al-Anns Gaitett to usher the obstinate James from the room. The order was promptly obeyed. .■ ll the while Dean Jack Rapp and Dr. Proctor had been enjoying a quiet little game of high dice o r in the comer. The Dean failed to roll at which he with much malice and forethought proceeded to batter the unsuspecting in a biMtal way on the coco. Of coui ' se this had no effect, but nevertheless Miss Wilson, being hoiTor- stricken at such ghastly conduct began to quote historical pas- sages froni the bloody fi ' ay of Mauldin ' s run. .• t this juncture Miss Parke, seeing the sad plight, broke forth in a nasal solo, I Wonder Whose Little Girlie I Am. Matters grew from bad to woi se, all, save the ruling sachem, swooning away. .At last, perceiving that she had made a typo- graphical eiTor, Miss Parke ceased her melodious flow. One by one die nctims regained consciousness. Mrs. Kennon mo -ed that the house come to order, but on the ground that she had brought her se s-ing machine to the meeting, her motion was j-uled down; besides, she was fined thijleen cents for not addressing the chair. Mr. Foster drew from his pocket a deck of cards and an- nounced that the pot vk ' as open. Mr. .Mitchell accepted the challenge, and after administering a severe cleaning, the house again proceeded, 124 As things had subsided to some extent Miss BusseJI made a motion that more keys be chopped on the piano, that thereby she might better display her talent. The motion passed and Boulevard was appointed as a committee of one to chop the keys. She then moved that the faculty take the first day of May as a holiday and go on a crusade in quest of owls. Mr. Proctor drank a cup of yeast; and the President re- marked that Puffing up is the surest and fatallest sign of de- cay. At which Miss McLaughlin laughed. Robert at once became furious, and was only quieted by a few gentle blov rs of the ten pound gavel skillfully wielded by the mighty Presi- dent. As business became rather dull, all snoozed off, but were presently awakened by a boisterous knocking at the door, which was found to be no other than James Raymond who again sought admittance. The question whether or not he should be reinstated was put to vote. All voted the affirmative except Mr. Foster, who declared that James had, [iin a foul manner, tried to assassinate him by putting tacks in the hash and that upon no consideration, as he was a dangerous char- acter, ought he to be admitted. James was heartbroken and turned aWay in silent sobs. When, at the suggestion of the President, resolutions had been passed on the man who stole Washington ' s skull, and another set on the men who lost their lives in the cold storage fire, the house was declared adjourned. But Miss Bussell withheld the declaration for a few moments in which she announced that Mrs. John would enter- tain with a whist party on the following Saturday evening, and that all were invited. The meeting now adjourned and as they walked leisurly from the room Mrs. Borden remarked: These meetings are so beneficial; they help us to learn more thoroughly the inner lives of the students. ihC EvoLvTiow or aU.r n.0Ai.

Now and then we read of a battle having been fought, but this too soon sinks into the dark oblivion of forgetfulness. But the year nineteen hundred and eight saw men appear before the foot-lights, and saw battles waged pleasing to Mars himself, which shall not show this fate, but whose memory shall drift on down through the annals of history, and shall be sung of by bards and nunnberad by poets of future generations. These men were the men who made up the football team; the battles ■were those w hich they foi ght. It is with pride that vfe look back and in our humble way attempt to enumerate the achievements of this illustrious galaxy of moleskin talent. And in fact the heart of every true lover of America ' s greatest game at Henderson is filled with admiration as hs surveys their brilliant record. , From that day in Septem- ber on which practice first began, no season ever before pre- sented so luminant an outlook, for when the first roll was called all of the ' 07 squad were present with the exception of Rogers, Edwards and Bizzell. But Bizzell was not destined to stay out long. How could he ? Within a few days he reported for duty, and it must be said that upon his arrival a new joy pervaded Coach Haygood ' s camp. For more than three long weeks Coach Jim piloted his troupe of artists up and down Henderson field, before he con- sented to bring them before the public eye. But at the end of this time, thinking to have a machine capable of going at a live- ly gate, he consented, and on the seventh day of October the Reds won their first victory of the season, by winning a Kind of signal practice over the A. C. C. bunch from Clarksville. The machine went in lined up as follows: Turrentine, left end; Williams, left tackle; Bizzell, left guard; Brown, center; A. Williams, right guard; Rogers, right tackle; Gillrran, right end; Tull, quarterback; Agee, left half; Mauldin, right half; Berry, full- back. And such it remained for the majority of the subsequent games, with the exception that Gibbs glayed between the guards and Brown guarded his right side, while Dougan alternated at quarter with Tull. Catling also did some good work in the lat- ter part of the season. The visitors were for the most part neophytes along the football line and were far from being adept even in the rudi- ments of the game, and presenting nothing which might be mis- taken for team work, they consequently furnished little more than a mere scrimmage. But although they went away on the small end of a 79 to score, they had clearly demonstrated that it was only training 138 and not grit which they lacked, for they played a consistent game throughout. But it is an obvious fact that they were ad- vanced somewhat in the elementary steps of the game at least, and they bid fair to have a good strong team in the course of another season. Next on October 24th the Reds invaded the University camp at Fayetteville, only to be repulsed by a score of 5 I to 0. This game is the only blemish on an otherwise spotless record. To be sure the Reds were conscious of the fact that they were getting entirely beyond their realm, but nevertheless were some- what surprised when they had lined up for the first pick-off to see that they were outweighed forty pounds to the man. Being unused to such heavy fire, it was a tough proposition to go up against a bunch of heavy experienced men. And although they lost by a pretty large score, still it is no disgrace. Rather on the other hand let it to their credit be said that they put up a good, stiff fight, one worthy of the highest praise. The next week was spent at hard work. Coach Jim and all, preparing lor the L. I. I. aggregation, who on the following Monday journeyed up from the Creole State and made their appearance in full array, confident of returning to the cane dis- tricts plus one scalp. The exhibition which was presented that afternoon smacked more of genuine football, and was the most sensational of any game seen on a local gridiron in many a season past. Within the first fifteen minutes of play the Rustonites had romped down the field for two touchdowns, but fortunately had failed at both goals. The Reds were now to take a hand and before the first half was over, they, too, had crossed the line twice, and Berry had kicked one goal fair. During the second half the ball rarely left the center of the field. The final score stood I 1 to 1 in Henderson ' s favor. On November 3, accompanied by Teb Key and several other loyal supporters, the team embarked for Ft. Logan H. Roots for the sole purpose of drubbing in a severe fashion the defenders of the flag. It was about this time of the season that the team had reached the zenith of its power and was go- ing at its best, and they confronted no serious difficulty in ful- filling their mission. At the first down many of the khaki clan thought that Gabriel had sounded the final taps. They wished to lead a peaceful life at any rate; several deserted and have not been caught to this day. A larger score could perhaps bave been made if desired, but there was no neecessity for such. And the Reds were content to come off on the large end of a 23 to score. On the following Monday Hendrix sent her contingent, its personnel consisting almost entirely of raw recruits, down to face Coach Jim ' s batallion on its native heath. Sol himself is said to have smiled as he saw the lads approach with such bold effrontery. This was the first championship game of the season, and its outcome was awaited with eagerness. The game started as though it was going to be a battle royal, but alas, too soon the Conwayii began to show vague signs that they were beneath the powerful charms of Morpheus. They fell powerless before the merciless onslaughts of the merciless Reds. When the final wrhistle blew the score stood 65 to in our favor. Hendrix put 140 up a game fight, and was defeated from the simple fact that they were outplayed. For the next two weeks the Reds were busily engaged in putting on the finishing touches for the final conflict with Oua- chita on Turkey Day. This was one of the hardest fought bat- tles of the year. Ouachita stubbornly contested to the very last. The game proved a fitting climax for a successful season, and when the referee ' s whistle had sounded for the last time on that day the score stood 65 to 0. The twilight of a Thanksgiving Eve for the second time in history saw the Reds proudly leave the field of action as Champions of Arkansas. We would like much to survey and specialize the work of each individual who composed the team, but space is lacking. So let it suffice to say that every man at all times proved himself a true representative of the Red and Gray. They wrere imbued with the true Henderson spirit, and were boys of ability and resolution. Had they not been they would never have attained that eminent degree of success which they did. We w ould not think this review complete, and in fact it would not be, were mention not made somewhere of the sec- ond team. All honor to Mr. Proctor and his doughty Dragons. Although they were unsuccessful in the majority of their games, they nevertheless played a leading role in wielding to- gether the Reds and making them what they were. The greatest honor, however, falls to the peerless chieftain. Coach Haygood. He, more than any other one person, is re- sponsible for Henderson ' s great team. Day after day with un- ceasing toil he endeavored to infuse spirit into the team, and succeeded as few beside him could have done. For the past two seasons he has not only made a public demonstration of his skill and efficiency as a coach, but has proven himself a worthy general to the team as well. And his name, be- sides being stored away deep within the heart of every student with whom he has come in contact, shall for many a day be sung in the annals of football lore in Arkansas. At the close of the season the team was entertained with a smoker given by Messrs. Agee, Matthews and Tull, at which Whiteford Mauldin was elected captain for the ensuing year. Several other entertainments, such as dinners, etc., were prof- fered by loyal friends but unfortunately the invitations were unable to be accepted. As one looks back and sees what by their untiring efforts the team has done to upbuild and to main- tain the enviable reputation which Henderson has so ac- quired, this may not seem in due appreciation of their services Many other interesting events, such as receptions, treeplant- ing, and innumerable chapel talks and lectures, have transpired within the fleeting months just gone by, but this record of the football team is the only thing which we at present deem wor- thy of review, For it is the only thing that will live and be dis- cussed by progeny within the walls of future Henderson. And well may the Henderson of nineteen hundred and nine look back upon the season just passed as being the most brilliant, the most successful in the chronicles of her football career.

I went to church without my uni- form, grumbled M. E. Roberts, as he started out on the campus to do extra drill. Suddenly he stopped and ejaculated, By hokies ! the girls are going to play tennis. I ' ll see the fun; hi there ! come on Martin, here ' s luck. Martin, who was doing extra drill for not obeying the command, Heads up ! came rushing out with his gun. Am I needed? Where ' s the danger? Right yonder; see the goirls. The girls came trooping out on the tennis courts entirely oblivious of tha fact that two young men were eagerly watching their athletic sports. Now listen to that, will you ? as Ola Parker yelled, Where ' s my bat, 1 am going to knock a home run in this inning. They have started in earnest now, look at Miss Bussell, said M. E. as Miss Russell made a violent endeavor to re- turn a ball that was fully eight feet above her head. Yes, but take a squint at her partner. Ida was resting calmly on her racket, as she drawled out, ' ' Well, I declare, that was a ball then. Say, I wonder why so many girls stay on the fence. said Roberts in a puzzled tone, as he stopped in amazement and gazed fenceward. Oh, they are merely going over after balls. ' Over the fence is out, ' or at least the ball is out, you knov . ' By George! They have held open court too; what ' s the trouble? Annie Shell was lying lazily on the ground while Vera and Ruth were bus- ily engaged in seeing w ho could knock sticks the farthrest. Yonder is the cause in the distance, laughed Martin, as he pointed with his gun. Alice was daintily strolling out in the direction of the boys cottages in search of a lost ball. As Roberts was slowly plodding his weary way over the beaten path where all profligates are supposed to tread, this yell reached his ears: There scoop it up, Leta! but Leta, frightened at the rapidity of the ball, fell prostrate on the ground. This caused a little accident, for the ball went over the fence and in jumping over after it Christina sprained her ankle and all her puffs came down. However, this seemed a usual occurrence and caused no concern. That girl ' s got an arm on her, exclaimed Martin as he dodged a whiz- zing ball which bounced at the other end of the campus. O, that ' s ' Big Cupp. ' Didn ' t you hear her say she thought she hit the ball a little too hard? Suddenly the two boys looking in the direction of court one, beheld a great commotion. Roberts dropped his gun and yelled Come on Martin, here ' s our chance. But Beryl, seeing the boys coming yelled back Aw, it ain ' t nothing. May was just trying to play the net, when she fell over it and punched a hole in it. But we can fix it up all right, She picked up a pebble and unconcernedly threw it over the college. Love fifteen! Did you hear that! said Roberts aghast as he leaned against a tree for support. I knew that Hughes girl had several suitors, but Great Caesar! I didn ' t know she was taking in the whole school! 148 Pshaw! That isn ' t half as bad as Bess Fhompson. She ' s been yelling out deuce for the last half hour. These girls sure are getting degenerated. Say kid, bring me my tennis shoes. I ' m getting tired of running around on these tom-walkers. This cry from Kyle suddenly brought Martin to the unusual position of holding up his head. Get Mr. Haygood ' s old tan pair; they will be more comfortable. This sug- gestion from Mittie Grace caused Roberts to mutter: Gee! Wonder if they will fit. After the difficulty of squeezing into the shoes, the game was again re- sumed and continued uninterrupted for some m ' nutes. Wonder w ho that fellow is w ith the specks? He must be the coach or the general flunky to run after the balls, said Martin as he gazed at a masculine figure running about in an official way. Why man! get your optics repaired! That ' s Proctor; he is substitute gen- eral manager. Just at that moment the whistle sounded and the girls began to take down the nets and walk slowly in the house. Christina ' s hair was all hanging down in her hand. May Hughes, hav- ing played rather strenuously had fainted, and was being borne to the hydrant, which soon revived her. ' Well, I ' m weak all over. Say Martin, let ' s don ' t wear our uniforms next Sunday. — Evelyn Coodw in. 150 (Lmnm (Ulnb ROUGH RACKETS, Mottc: Play the deuce but never love.

For on that afternoon was to be pulled off the great battle between the Stars and Tigers. The town was crowded with visitors who had been pouring in on all trains, and a crowd of fifteen thousand was expected to be on the field that afternoon. Captain Henry of the Stars, was confident of victory, while on the other hand Captain Mahan, of the Tigers, was equally as confident, and in fact, had made several large wagers on the game. At 3:45 sharp, Referee Bussell ' s whistle sounded, the teams lined up, and Capt. Henry kicked off four feet and eleven inches. The Tigers ' big center, Hayes, falls on the ball, but the pigskin was unequal to the strain and collapsed. A new oval being procured, the teams line up, and Tarrant goes around right end for a gain of two feet and one inch. Shell accidentally bites Pipkin on the ear for which the Tigers were penalized fifteen yards. They now try to make the distance on downs, but fail, and the ball goes over. They again line up and Watson, failing to gain through the line. Key boots ten inches. Moores connects with the ball and makes a brilliant run of thirteen feet On the next play quarterback Kaufman of the Reds sends Steele through the line for a gain of twenty yards. This was by far the most spectacular play which had yet been executed. But hardly had she rattled off another signal ere Posey had repeated the dose for three inches. The Tigers were now within fourteen inches of the goal line, and while all awaited the signal of quarterback Evans in breathless silence, Moores, the Star ' s big guard, reaches over and steals the ball. For this she was suspended from the game, and Taylor, who later made the AU-Piney-Grove eleven, was sent in to take her place. It all depended upon Capt. Mahan whether or not the Tigers should score. As usual, she was there with the goods, and punts the ball back over her head up the field for a distance of two feet. Williamson grabbed the ball and comes rushing like fury down the field, but was stopped on the fifteen-yard line by Captain Henry, who made the sensational tackle of the day. When the smoke had to some extent cleared away, Capt. Henry lay there with a mouth full of hair, gasping for breath; the water wagon was sent for and within two minutes she was back in the game. They now,line up on the fifteen yard line; fire darted from the eyes of every player as they contemplated the complete annihilation of each other. In a moment of almost dead silence, broken only by the sobs of Pipkin who was crying because she was hungry, the Tigers ' plucky little quarterback calls for a line buck over center. Wright, the husky fullback, hurdles the line and would have made a goal, but stumbling over a peanut, falls within an arm ' s length of the longed for terminus. ' i Key secures the ball and like a scared rabbit races the whole distance across the field in the fast time of 6 minutes and 22 seconds. This broke all previous records. Capt. Henry kicks fair at goal. Score: Stars 6; Tigers 0. 156 Captain Henry, Pipkin and Shell were killed outright; Capt. Mahan, Key and Evans were mortally wounded. Umpire Parke died of lock-jaw from swallowing the whistle, and many others, even some on the sidelines were maimed for life. Miss Wilson was simply surprised. The game was at last called on account of darkness. Thus had gone down in history one of the fiercest struggles found in the annals of football lore. The loyal friends of Captain Henry still wear mourning for their victorious but departed chieftain, and for many days after the battle, gloom and desolation brooded over the college walls. 157 ®Jf Sm ui nf S wms. AST NIGHT as I lay sleeping, an angel which had started at the dawn of creation, and had flown with the speed of light, appeared unto me in a vision. And there came a voice unto me saying, Rise go thou forth and deliver this message to Garcia and look neither to the right nor to the left; but look thou to the front with heads up. ' During these years 1 have taught thee to recognize proper authority. ' Hear then my advice — I don ' t love my boy any more than your father loves you, but as a teacher of twenty odd years experience and teaching school is a seri- ous business, I beseech thee to go slow and hit the line hard, don ' t be a looker- on. Lo ! wrhen duty calls, remember that Robert E. Lee said, ' Duty is the sub- limest viTord in the English language. ' You will receive many knocks and cuffs and when there seems to be no mare hope and all is in despair, fight your way out or die, but don ' t give up the ship. My son puffing up is the surest and fatalist sign of decay and as thou goeth forth you will notice that ' the heaviest ears hang lowest towards the ground. ' You have been diligent in your work and I want to commend you for using your spare time in the library. Lord Bacon said, — who remembers this story ? (all hands go up) — ' that reading makes a full man the want of it a fellow. ' You know if a man has read the Bible, Shakespeare, and Milton, he is considered a well read man. After all ' a man is the architect of his own fortune. ' 1 am glad you have identified your- self with all the college mDvemants, for college life is real life. Especially in athletics, get out on the field and take part. The brightest boy I ever saw in my life killed himself for the want of exercise. It does not do me any good for you to do these things, it does not help me, but it is for your welfare that I urge them. I am glad to see so many who are listening attentively. You may not learn Latin, or Greek, or Mathematics; but he who learns these little things — even to sitting still will not have spent his time in this institution in vain. You are forming character now, which you cannot outlive, and there is no one who knows you bet ter than the boys and girls you associate with know you. You may deceive your teacher but your companions can tell just exactly what you are. Be thou punctual in all thy duties, if you were working at the bank and could not go to your work, you would send an explanation and let them know why you were absent. If you failed to do this many times you would not hold your job long. I was at a prominent hotel in this state a few days ago, dining with a young man, whom I taught twenty years ago, and while we were at the table a man had the unmitigated gall to spit on the floor. 1 do not believe there is anyone here who does not know better than that, for you remember we have had a few lectures on manners; but I will make a speech on that some day, when I have more time. Whe n you start out to do something, do it; or as you have heard me say before ' plow out to the end of the row, ' then look back over your work and notice the mistakes and errors for it is the re-view, the looking over again that does the most good, this is what John Ruskin said you know. 158 159 Mr. Rapp, touring in Southern France, was pushing his machine up a steep hill when he overtook a peasant with a donkey cart. The poor beast was doing his best, but with all its efforts made little progress. The humane cyclist, putting his left hand on the back of the cart guided his wheel with the right pushed so hard that the donkey took fresh courage and pulled his load bravely to the top. When the summit was reached the peasant gratefully thanked his benefactor. It was so kind of you, monsieur, he said, I should never have managed that climb with only one donkey. ' ' Heads Up was afraid that if the ocean should flow into the Sahara desert, the world would topple over. Don ' t worry. Colonel, it won ' t do any gyrastic stunts like that as long as you are there to say Steady, steady. McFerrin, art thou spurring Toward a heavenly goal? Careful be, in this dark sea. Lest thou meet a shoal. Listen lad, and be thou glad — The future is success. Run the race with cheerful face — Thou shalt have won thy Bess. All her heart is set apart. Waiting thy demand. With smiling eyes go claim the prize, And win thy Bessie ' s hand. Hugh D. Hart and Squat C. Parsons, by their excellent ex- ample have added another rule to etiquette. We give it for the benefit of all Subs and Sophs, who expect to become Seniors. Any young man, having made a date with a young lady, may of his own accord, and without notifying the young lady, break the date and free himself from all obligations. As Caesar conquered his Gaul likewise would Aubrey Tay- lor conquer his temper. P. Horace — The French people are the most ignorant race of people I ever saw. Agee— Why? P. H. — The other day I met a Frenchman on the train and couldn ' t even make him understand his own language. 160 In the glow of the last reception they sat, and sat. and sat. ou are going to say something soulful, declared Skip. I see it in your lovely eyes. Yes, I ' m thinking of asking you something, responded Alva. Won ' t you wear a rubber band around your head at ni ght, so your ears won ' t stick out so ? Mr. Hinemon visited the ruins of Brinkley after the cyclone had done its dreadful work. An old darkey addressed him un- expectedly : Say, boss, scuse me, but w ho is you ? Why, I ' m Mr. Hinemon, President of Henderson College. Yassa boss, t ' ank yo ' sir; the reason I asked is dat you looked so muth like some o ' my folks back yonder in Georgia. John Quincy scratched Annie Shell. In her pain and sur- prise the forgot his claws ; John Quincy, give me that pin im- mediately ! Miss Alcie Daan Olmstead has recently been heard soliloquiz- ing in this manner : Of all the names in the Holy Book, The best is that of Solomon; 1 like it most because it sounds So much like that of Hollemon. If Cupid would trade his bow and arrow for a pop-gun, he might do more business. Mr. Mitchell — How do you account for the phenomena cf dew ? Mr. Dean — Well, you see the earth revolves on its axis every twenty-four hours, and in consequence of this tremendous pace it perspires freely. Mamie Watson — 1 w ish I v ras Roy Dougan. Jennie — Why ? You ' re a girl, better looking, have prettier clothes and are much more attractive. Mamie — Yes, I know, but he can wiggle his ears. 1 sat me down in thought profound, This maxim vkrise I drew : It ' s easier for to love a girl Than to make one love you. John L. — About a year ago I quit running the girls and thought I ' d let them run me awhile. And by I ain ' t had a race since. Odem Lafayette Walker says that he would dearly love to sit upon the boldest headland of Mount Ida and, inspired by the nine muses he would write a lovely ode to a pretty Posey. Jack Rapp took a nap Upon one summer ' s eve, And while he snored, and savired the gourd, 161 A rat crawled up his sleeve. Jack dreamed — to him it seemed. Old Nick was surely there: His claws were keen. Jack ' s arm was lean Nick clawed him like a bear: Jack awoke; it did provoUe His hunter ' s nature sound. O, as for that! he likes a rat But likes to hunt him down. Esca ' s little friend: — Esca, have you married an Indian? Esca: — What makes you ask such foolish qusstions? Litde friend: — Well, I saw some scalps on your dressing table. Mrs. Borden:— Mr. Brown, what is a phenomenon? Coot: — Well, Mrs. Borden, I ' ll explain. If you see a cow, why that ' s not one, and if you see a thistle that ' s not one; if you see a bird that ' s not one; but if you see a cow sitting on a thisde and singing like a bird, why that ' s a phenomenon. Claud was conspicuous for his awkwardness in drill that morning, but Inez overlooked that and said: Just look! every- body is out of step but Claud. Mamie Wozencraft — Miss Bussell, have gooseberries got legs? Miss B. — Why no. Mamie — Then I ' ve swallowed a caterpillar Grass-widows and grass-hoppers jump at the first chance. O, where is my rosebud said Miss Bussell. Gone owl hunting, said someone. Miss Buder to Mittie Grace: — Does it make you love cmy one harder if the girls tease you about him? Mittie Grace: — Yes. Miss Butler: — Well, I wish you all would tease me about Mr. Beasley. - lho rW h - f K 1)1.55 Bussell to Ou icK.¥ p 162 eoiinis Title page.
