Senior Class Prophecy I sat beneath a shady tree, awaiting an inspiration to write this prophecy. The evening sun was sinking behind a bank of gilt edged cloud, and as the feeble rays crept back over the scene around me, everything seemed to blend into revelation. My classmates began to gather around the tree. Were we having a class meeting? Yes, it was a reunion —a great class reunion ten years after our graduation at Lenoir College, and the tree, around which we gathered, was our little Hemlock, grown tall. Our noble President, Clarence Rhodes, so dignified and consecrated looking in his clerical suit, presided over the meeting, A program, consisting of the experiences of each member, was rendered. Verley Fulmer, a poet, preacher, and peddler, gave us bits of his various talents. He was still asking questions about electricity. H. C. Miller, a noted professor, had only a few words to say. He had tried law and failed, but after all his misfor- tunes he had succeeded in marrying Stella Rhyne. They were so happy, and we were so glad they were married. The most comical number on the programme was the love experiences of F. L. Lineberger. They had not ended at Lenoir College, although he had married one of those fascin- ating creatures who always kept him on the v.-alk between Highland and Oakview. He was now a great evangelist, and also a master of his violin, which he used to call his congre- gation together. The most interesting story was that of W. B. Rudisill. He had been shipwrecked on an island in the Pacific, and had saved his life by teaching the savages how to play base ball. For this, they had elected him chieftain, and now he was beginning to christianize them. Callie Rhodes had married the same boy to whom she was so true all through her college life, and now they were missionaries to China. Will Plonk had wasted much time in flirting, but at last he had wandered over to Germany, where he became a great music master. Once, when he was performing in a great theatre, he fell in love with the actress who proved to be the girl he idolized at Lenoir College. Rufus Plonk, our only farmer and business man, had gone straight to work after leaving Lenoir College, and was now the richest man in the South. Laura Plonk still had that scowl upon her face, but it was interesting to hear her tell how she became an actress, and while in a Parisian theatre was rescued by an Oxford student. W. K. Mauney had tried several professions, but was now the greatest preacher in the South. His profound know- ledge of music was perhaps the cause of his great success. F. R. Yoder was candidate for the Presidency of the United States, and would have made us a political speech, but v. ' e succeeded in persuading him to tell how he went to the Uni- versity; tried to study all the courses, and almost lost his mind. After this he taught school, studied law, and had finally reached his state of glory, for he was sure of living in the White House. Rufus Isenhour had begun his career by editing a newspaper, but one day, while pondering over the word love, he had lost his position. He then took an extended course at the University, where he decided to become a great social reformer. He was now trying to accomplish his purpose by writing editorials for a magazine. When it was time for my experiences, I was still building air castles so my classmates began to part, each one to his own mission, and as they vanished out of sight my dream faded, the sun had set, and the landscape was darkening. I had been beyond the V3il, where I saw the future of the class of 1910. Pearl Setzer, Prophet.

Robinson Ida Belle Neas Junior Class History IT does not seem so very long ago since we entered the halls of Lenoir College on that beautiful morning of September 1907. When we entered this grand old College, we were in pursuit of knowledge, and, if we fail, it will not be the fault of our earnest, persistent and patient professors, who have tried to teach us the principles of Rhetoric, Deutsch, and the Science of the mind. When we were poor little Freshies, we felt our importance, as all other Freshman do. Before the year was out, we realized that school was not such a dreadful place after all, for there were many plea- sures as well as plenty of work. In an other year we were no longer green Freshmen, but wise Sophomores. During our Sophomore year we had plenty of fun, and now we are Juniors! We have only begun to realize what college life really is. Though our class is small, you can find girls and boys of brains, who are not afraid to study. The Sophomores call us conceited because we are Professor Hartwig ' s favorite class. He said we were, and he told the Sophomore class so, too. Next year we hope to come back to old L. C. and be dignified Seniors. Margaret Hendrix, Historian, Junior Class Poem We, thy third-year ones, are merry; Far from being sad or dreary That our time with thee is nearly All gone past! We will save our briny tear Till the doleful senior year; We have yet two terms to fear Thy solemn class. But there is no truer mold Than thy sons of olden gold That all adore. Let the gold and violet sport; In the air, to give report That the Juniors still hold the fort At old Lenoir. J. T.

Shuford Maie Simpson Mary Stroup Sophomore Class History IN September 1908, the present Sophomore class held its first meeting for the purpose of organizing as Freshmen. At this meeting twenty-two members were enrolled. We had a very pleasant Freshman year. After three months of vacation, many of the members returned. The third week of September 1909, we met to be enrolled as Sophomores. We regret, very much, that all of our members did not return, but there were several new ones whom we welcomed in our class. In the Fall Term we traveled along in the old ruts of the former classes. At the opening of the spring term, the class was called together for the purpose of discussing a plan that would lead to more genuine class spirit, and after a thorough deliberation on the plans suggested, we decided to hold semi-monthly meetings, at which literary and musical programs should be rendered. The efforts thus exerted have been rewarded by great success. We are a few in number, but poor Freshmen must lie low. We have spent the Sophomore year happily together, and hope to return. F. J. Eller, Historian. Sophomore Class Poem When you hear the yell of Rip ! Zip ! Zite ! You know ' tis the class of red and white. Not only the class of red and white, But one that ' s always jolly and bright. Wise Fools, we are called this year, But stop and listen, members dear- Time is going on so fast. Two of our college years have passed. Yes, like phantoms they have slipped away; Leaving before us another day— A day, when Freshie and Fool, are forgot. And we ' re free to enjoy the Juniors lot. You may wonder why, with the lengthening years. We can find no time to give to tears. You may think we ' re careless and never care. And of all life ' s burdens we have no share. ' Tis not because we have no strife; ( V ithout that there is no life) ' Tis not that our heavens are never gray. And no gathering clouds chase sunshine av ay. But this is why that with each new day. Brighter and brighter becomes our way. We are ever and always conteni To bear whatever burdens are sent. And do our work that, when sinks the sun. We may know the joy of tasks well done. When we find a day that ' s dark and long. We try to sing a cheerful, cheerful song. We know a flower that never looks up; Catches no sunshine in its cup. But though it ' s hid neath a robe of gray. It still can dream of another May. I ' m glad our colors were chosen aright; They should ever be kept in memory ' s sight. And always tingling in our ear. We should ever our motto hear: Sure the reward of the faithful, (Oh; for that we ' re all so grateful) Hurrah! hurrah! we ' re jolly and bright: Three cheers, three cheers for the red and white —Mary Nussman, Poet, Freshman Class Motto Not many things but much Colors Gold and Black Emblem Marechal Neil Rose Yell Hobble, gobble, razzle, dazzle, Sis! boom! bah!

We entered the Freshman Class this session. A number of new stu- dents, whom we gladly welcomed, cast their lot with us at the beginning of the present year. Shortly after the opening of school, we held a meeting and effected an organization. At this meeting we elected officers, and chose our colors, motto, emblem, and yells. We met several other times during the year, whenever we had business to transact. The higher classmen— especially the Sophs— called us fresh with a voice somewhat mingled with contempt at the beginning of school, but it mattered little to us what they said; as they did not have the grit to bother us. How- ever, as time progressed, they began to see what was in us, and this soon ceased. We were well represented in athletics, and our players did credit to the Freshman Class. Our boys have been good players in both football and baseball, and took part in all the intercollegiate games. In tennis we have held a leading place. The Freshman girls did excellent work in basket ball. They were twice called upon by the Juniors to aid in defeating the Sophs, and each time they did their part in winning the victory. A number of our girls and boys took extra work in busi- ness and music. All of them have made good reports. In fact our whole class has done good work, and the prospects are that the majority of them will be back next year to re- sume their work. Freshman Class Poem We are only little Freshies, Very small indeed, But we have more knowledge Than any at Lenoir College. Now, they may call us green, But some day it will be seen That we are just as good as you. And deserve some credit too. The Sophomores look down on us, ' Cause we don ' t have meetin ' s and such, But you just wait and see What we little Freshmen can be. We have our class colors too, And the other things like you. Our colors are black and gold, And we ' ll remember them when we ' re old. When we leave Lenoir College With our large amount of knowledge. We can say, Not many things but much, For our motto is such. Next year, we ' ll be wise fools. That ' s what they ' re called in schools. But we ' ll be an exception to the rest, And will not think we ' re the best. When the next year comes rolling around. With all its ups and downs, Sophomore days will all be done. With their merriment and fun. Juniors then you will see instead. But we don ' t mean to have the big-head, Like the Juniors at the present time. Thinking they ai-e so very fine. When 1913 comes at last. Seniors will be the name of the class; Then you will see we were not such a dunce. As you took us to be once. I know you think enough is said Of our planning so far ahead, But we just wanted to let you know How our little class is going to grow. —Annie Barber, Poet. Sub-Freshman Class OFFICERS C. N.

On the summit of this mountain sat Professor Hartwig enjoying the pleasant surroundings. By the roadside stood Professo r Fritz encouraging the way- farers to be cheerful and bright as the weather. Upon a steep cliff stood Miss Shirey with a great scroll of rules and regulations. In a quiet shady wood nearby sat Miss DeWald with her handwork and a fam.ily of cats around her taking tea from hand painted saucers. On the north side of the mountain was Professor Whitmore, crouched in an old hollow tree, wondering why God created women. On the south side. Miss Hallman had laid her weary head on a mossy bank to rest. Here she had fallen asleep with a volume of Ryan ' s poems in her hand. On the east was Miss Camp eating candy, and on the west was Miss Woods all alone, watching the sun set. Here and there at various places were the other members of the faculty. Professor Little with a great re- cord book, Professor Stirewalt with bills and accounts. Rev- erend Miller with his Bible and shepherds crook. Reverend Stirawalt with a book of morals, and Dr. Price with his med- icine case. At the foot of the mountain were all the Preps, some playing in the brook, while others started up the pathway. Farther on were the Freshmen, resting in the shade of the blooming rhododendron, for they had been climbing faith- fully. Half way up the winding road the Sophomores were having a picnic. Jhe valley below resounded with their college yells, and the mountain side v ' as alive with their fly- ing pennants. Farther on were the Juniors busily studying electricity in the cool mountain air. Around the top the Seniors, robed in black, were solemnly marching. They had reached their state of glory, and were ready to take flight on the approaching airship.

The Undoing of the Rationalist Deeply rooted in the very fibre of man ' s being, is a fear, a dread of the supernatural. Human reason, with all of its vast universe conquering power, cries out against it; the Society for Psychic Research, after years of painstaking in- quiry and investigation of spiritual phenomena, so called, has declared positively that there is no such thing as a ghost; that all these phenomena are simply the creation of the subjective mind. But still more to be feared than any ghost is the man who asserts that he has no fear whatsoever of the supernatural or spiritual. In the full light of the morning sun, the most timid laugh at the idea of spooks, but placed in the midst of a wood at midnight, or, more es- pecially, alone in an untenanted house, the bravest are ready to admit that at least there are two sides to the question. It was in defiance to this fear of unoccupied buildings, and contrary to the desire for human companionship, that Junior Wiseman had decided to spend the summer, hermit- like, in the dormitory, with no other companions than his books, whose authors had, centuries before, gone to join that innumerable throng, the abode of which psychic re- searchers have so long sought for in vain. There was no one else on the campus; the large buildings stood silent and empty under the summer moon and it seamed to Wiseman, as he sat night after night poring over many a volume of forgot- ten lore, that the only living thing in all the world, except himself, was the throbbing, pulsating electricity, which, by lighting up the pages of his book, seemed to course into the veins of the authors themselves, causing them to live and breathe and speak with all the power of their genius. One August night, after having been lost thus in study until the small hours of the night, Wiseman decided to go for a walk in order to refresh himself. As he was returning on account of the approach of a severe storm, he was sur- prised to hear, just back of the dormitory, a loud groaning as if someone were in mortal agony. A pile of shingles, thrown loosely against the back porch, rattled as if two per- sons were upon them, engaged in a death struggle. As he came within a few feet of the spot, a f lash of lightning re- vealed all the surroundings. The pile of shingles lay before him empty, not a living thing, man or beast, anywhere in sight. But still those horrible groans and cries were heard; still the rattling of the shingles. Mistrusting his eyes, Wise- man felt cautiously over the spot from which the cries seem- ed to come, but the only substantial thing that his hand came in contact with was a sharp nail in one of the shingles. Not caring to mix farther in the quarrels of the citizens of the invisible kingdom, Wiseman started to seek the pro- tection of his room. Just as he entered the dormitory, the storm came in all of its fury. The lightning iiashes were playing hide and seek through the hallways with the imps of darkness; every footstep seemed to awaken a dozen sleeping echoes in every one of the forty odd empty rooms, and the rain and wind shook and rattled the windows as if a storm devil, with a mask of death, was trying to break in at every window. As he started up the third floor hallway to his room, he heard a slight rustling noise at the upper end, and a form came sweeping past him, brushing along the wall, making a noise like the rustle of silken skirts. In an instant, it swept down one side and back again on the other, passing and repassing him a score or more of times, while he was going from the stair landing to his room. Swisssh, swisssh, it went. Thinking to find safety in light, Wiseman rushed into his room and groped for the electric switch. It failed to respond to his touch. The lights were burned out and he was left in inky darkness. After a little reflection, he cursed himself for being a fool and imagining all the silly things which he had just heard, and feeling himself covered with dust from his long walk, he decided, in order to prove to himself that he was not afraid, to go through the hall to the bath-room, and take a bath. As he reached the door of the bathroom, there start- ed up from the bath tub the same rustling form, and as it swept out past him, it touched him on the shoulder with its icy finger. Immediately, he noticed that the water was turned on. Knowing that it was turned off half an hour before when he left the building, and that no one had been in the building since then, the doors being locked, and the windows securely fastened, he was about to admit to himself that he must indeed be dealing with the supernatural, or rather that the supernatural must be dealing with him; but thinking of the treatise on human reason which he had just been reading, he resolved to finish his bath in spite of spooks and spectres. This he had almost completed when glancing up, he looked directly into a pair of eyes, that, looking straight into his, seemed to burn and flash with all the fire of the bottomless pit, and seemed to sear the inmost lineaments of his terrified soul. At that moment a flash of lightning revealed to him a visage, horribly distorted, and which leaning over him seemed to have caught in its horrible lines all the malice of the fallen spirits. Terrified to the very soul, Wiseman started up, but as he did so, a cold bony, hand was laid upOn his neck to re- strain him. Before he had time to scream, the hand was with- dravv n, and he heard it feeling around over the floor as if for some weapon with which to strike him. He, knowing that the only available weapon in the room was a small stool which stood beside the tub, seized it, and after trying several times to wrest it from him, the spectre, after muttering some scattered imprecations in a squeaky voice, swept out the door, and Wiseman, chilled with fright and sick with terror, crept in bed, his goddess of reason, which he pretend- ed to worship along with his French authors, entirely for- gotten. The next morning as he cautiously opened his door, he heard the same rustling at the end of the hallway that he had heard the night before, but this time nothing swept past him. With somewhat shaky knees, he approached the spec- tre, and there at the end of the hall, lying in the midst of a pile of papers, was an ordinary screech-owl. Its wings were wet, and it had evidently, in flying back and forth the pre- vious night, somehow get into the bath room, and striking its wings against the faucet, knocked it open and then fallen down into the water. It had started up on Wiseman ' s en- trance, and touching him on the bare shoulder with its wet wing as it went out, had returned, and hovering over him, its eyes shining in the darkness, and its rather flat, catlike head furnishing the horrible visage which the lightning flash revealed Of the groaning in the back yard Wiseman ' s reasoning powers could never find a satisfactory explanation. It might have been some natural phenomenon; it might have been the fallen spirit of idleness and ignorance struggling with the goddess of education and enlightenment for the rulership of the dormitory and its inmates during the coming term.
