Act No. 68 of that body, approved July 6, 1894, rovides for “the establishment of a first-class Industrial Institute and College for the education of the white children of Louisiana in the arts and sciences, at which such children may acquire a thor¬ ough academic and literary education, together with a knowledge of kindergarten instruction, of telegraphy, stenography and photog¬ raphy, of drawing, painting, designing and engraving, in their indus¬ trial application; also a knowledge of bookkeeping, and of agri¬ cultural and mechanical art, together with such other practical indus¬ tries as from time to time may be suggested by experience, or such as will tend to promote the general object of said institute and college, to-wit: Fitting and preparing such children, male and female, for the practical industries of the age.” The same act located the school “at Ruston, Lincoln Parish, Louisiana and entrusted its control to a Board of Trustees, consisting of the Gov¬ ernor of the State, two members from the State at large, and one from each congressional district. The State Superintendent of Pub¬ lic Education has since been made an ex-officio member. The Louisiana Industrial Institute begin its first session Sep¬ tember 23, 1895. But few schools not heavily endowed have de¬ veloped more rapidly. The total revenue for beginning was about twenty acres of ground, and $20,000, $10,000 of which was appro¬ priated by the Legislature and the remainder by Ruston and Lincoln parish. Out of this a small two-story brick building, now the middle front portion of the main hall, and a small frame mechanic ' s shop, were built, and a faculty of six teachers employed. Since then three three-story wings have been added to main hall; 13 a large three-story Girls’ Dormitory erected; and in addition a two- story frame building known as the Boys’ Hall, and several cottages. A splendidly arranged three-story pressed brick building, known as the Mechanic Arts Hall, has just been completed, as well as a new laundry plant. Other improvements have kept pace with the growth in buildings and grounds. The following table will give a good idea of the growth of the work and usefulness of the Institute during the ten years of its existence: Session. No. Faculty. No. Students.

The courses of study include definite courses of academic work plus an industrial subject. The industrial subject requires at least two periods each day, and is aimed to be intensely practical. Work is offered in Mechanics, including bench work in wood and iron, wood turning, forging, pattern making, and machine work; m Domestic Science, including plain sewing, embroidery, dress¬ making, reed work, basketry, cooking, household sanitation, chem¬ istry of foods and other allied branches; in Industrial Art, including- freehand drawing, sketching, oil and water color painting, and de- signing; in Bookkeeping, Stenography, Telegraphy, Printing and Bookbinding. In connection with four years of industrial work each student pursues an academic course. In Mathematics, the first year begins with a review of Arithmetic, and at the end of the fifth year Calculus is completed. English Language and Literature are carried on throughout the entire course. In Science, courses are offered in 14 Botany, Zoology, Physics, Chemistry and Geology, with advanced work in Bacteriology for those in the Domestic Science course. Other subjects included in the academic course are: History, Civics, Political Economy, Commercial Law, Elements of Commerce, and Drawing. The first faculty consisted of Col. A. T. Prescott, President; W. C. Robinson. Geo. Baxter Morton, A. M. Herget, Miss Mary D. Coleman, and D. R. Lyons. Col. Presc ott and Prof. Herget are now members of the faculty of the Louisiana State University; Miss Coleman in 1897 married Prof. Herget; Air. Morton is now a patent attorney in New York City, and Mr. Lyons is connected with the Government Printing Office at Washington, D. C. With the opening of the second session in 1896 three new mem¬ bers were added to the faculty—W. E. Taylor, Miss Lilia A. Har¬ kins, and Miss Pearl Sherwood. Miss Harkins was more recently in charge of Domestic Science in the Montana Agricultural College, while Miss Sherwood is now Mrs. Adolphus McCranie, of Homer, La.

Though only five years, it has seemed an age to us, and to be frank with you, my ambitious friend, there have been times when the peaks of Seniordom appeared so faintly in the far distance that some of our number who wished to be among the victors had not the courage, determination, and will¬ power to toil on, hence only a few of the many who entered the race shall have the pleasure of witnessing the close. Though our courage has been near failing many times, we are right glad indeed that we nave continued to strive for the cherished goal. The first year we had a hard time, or at least we thought so, for it seemed then that work was being heaped upon us, and the harder we worked the larger grew the heap. Then again, we had to bear the brunt of all the jokes that were afloat among the students, and, to tell the truth, that was no easy burden. There was always something for the higher classmen to pitch at the “first year kid.” But, notwithstanding all this fell to our lot, we put on a serious look and tried to make believe that we were very important, espec¬ ially in our “set.” But a time of rejoicing was coming for us. Exams sometimes comie oftener than they are wished for, but in our case, they were considered a blessing. There was a feeling within us that whispered “pass,” and the greater part of the class did this very thing. How proud we felt! How glad we were to leave the trials and troubles of the “first year kid” to those who wished to follow in our steps and obtain the wisdom awarded to honest toilers! A great load, as it were, was, lifted from our young shoulders, and we were fired with a desire to see what the future would bring us in the second year. The second year saw all who were loyal to our old banner at their posts ready for duty with a determined yet happy expression 42 on their faces; each grasping the hands of his mates and speaking Avords of cheer that only students know how to litter, and only students know how to appreciate. Our work did not seem so heavy this time, which, of course, made our hearts glad. In this institu¬ tion, as in all others, the second-year student does not rank very much above the “first year kid,” so we toiled on thinking of the time when we, too, would gain a position of honor. Exams never forget to come, and this time they found most of us ready and waiting for them, for we knew the next year would place us one step nearer the zenith of our aspirations. The result of these were slips of cardboard issued to each of the fortunate ones bearing this inscrip¬ tion, “Admit - to the third year.” As the rising sun of knowledge brightened the eastern horizon of our third year, a jolly little crowd again assembled in the old classrooms. I say little crowd, for the last exam caused several, who had been braving the toils of college life like heroes, to fall by the wayside, some of them never again to enter the race as students. This year we really began to think that we were of some importance. We were not wholly satisfied with running in the channel made by the other classes. We wanted to build our own road and thus be entirely original. We wanted to go a little beyond the regular class limits so as not to be “greenhorns” when our standing should permit us to ascend higher on the ladder of learning. As a proof cf our growing importance, some of our mates went so far as to appear on the stage in oratorical contests and debates. Epsey car¬ ried off the honors and a medal in one of the girls’ societies, and others took part in various contests but failed. Though they failed, they did not give up, for the experience they gained caused defeat to be swallowed up in victory, since some of them now are veterans, you might say, in such contests. We bravely met the close of the third year, and when we received our passports, we joyfully bade her adieu without a regret, and went home for a vacation, previous to launching into the vast unknown of the Junior year. Very glad we all were to join hands again when the Junior year arrived, and we began our work with renewed vigor. This year cur class became known as an organization in the school for the first time, as is every other class when it reaches that stage of de- 43 velopment. A meeting was called and officers were elected, Jack Mobley being chosen as president. We had our meetings every Friday afternoon, and after business was disposed of, we often en¬ joyed jokes and stories from various members. We found that it was not always an easy matter to get every one to attend class- meetings, some being especially noted for staying away. Of the truants, Elmo was chief and he was closely followed by some of the girls. This session we seemed to go about half a dozen steps on the ladder of fame instead of one as we had before risen, several mem¬ bers distinguishing themselves almost beyond the expectations of those who knew of their prowess. This little rise caused all to vie with each other in seeing who could be at the top. We burned the midnight oil trying to get all the problems in Trigonometry and Analytics in order that others might not get ahead of us. We tried to please all our teachers, and in doing this we had an object in view of course, this object being, to gain their good will so that we might possibly do almost as we pleased the next year. To do ourselves justice, it will be perfectly in keeping to give the names of the different members of our little company and for what each was noted. First, there was A. B., who led the class in Mathematics, but how he did we could not see, for he did not seem to study any more than the others, and he was always ready to laugh at anything. He also attained a degree of excellence as a violinist and we were favored, on a few occasions, with some of his best selections. The way in which Epsy could run her fingers over the keys of a piano and the originality of her work in everything immediately gave her a prominence which she still holds, besides, at the close of the session, she won the inter-society medal belonging to the girls, which was one of the highest honors that could be obtained by any student of this institution, an honor which went down in the annals of its history, and caused her name to be spoken in terms of praise by every student. Herbert, the class historian, was another one of our stars. He always knew the English lesson better than the other members of 44 the class, was well versed in history, and noted for making love to the girls. He placed himself on an equal footing with Epsey, when at the close of the session, he won the inter-society medal belonging to the boys. The way he trained the force of his argument against his opponent when he won this honor, was something wonderful to hear, and after this, we more fully recognized the remarkable abili¬ ties he possessed, and honored him accordingly. Leona W., perhaps the most original girl in school, seemed to gain an eminent place among the teachers and students without apparent effort. She demanded her place on honor ' s seat when she won the inter-society mid-term contest among the girls, an honor quite as great as the two just mentioned. In speaking of the others, there was Theo who led her class in .Stenography, but who nearly always arrived at recitations about three minutes late, especially in the afternoon; Atlanta, who took everything just as it came, always in a good humor, was the cham¬ pion of the class in the Printing Department, and noted for doing things in a left-handed sort of way; Elmo, the dry joker, who was especially noted for swiping tablets, pencils and paper; Lillian, a star and pride of the basket-ball team; Leona G., who could not express her thoughts in class exactly as she wished; Ida, the poet of the class; and Ivy, the rosy-cheeked lass, who employed her time delving in the mysteries of Domestic Science. One of the notable features of the class this year was the annual reception given by the Juniors to the Seniors. This little affair did not extend over any great amount of territory, yet it was an important event in our class history, and especially to us. On this occasion, we proved to the haughty Seniors that they were not the only people in the world, and established for ourselves a promi¬ nence that could not be destroyed even by the passage of that mighty factor, time. The close of the session was now near at hand, and we must needs begin to make preparations for the test which was to prove whether or not we were to have the privilege of getting a peep at Seniordom. These preparations were all for naught. One morning the President of the school announced that students would be passed 45 on their term grades instead of exams as heretofore. Glad! Well, I guess! To know that these stern judges were a thing of the past was enough to make any Junior jubilant. Of course, under this new proclamation we passed without a fumble, and then we bade a last farewell to Juniordom, where so many honors had been caused to fall in our path. Now the Senior year has dawned brightly on the hopes of the remarkable dozen, the few that the judge of a student’s career has seen fit to leave in the fight. We chose Jack, our Junior president, as our leader and sallied forth under the Senior banner to engage in the conflicts that beset the path of graduation. No class ever had more plans for execution than did ours. No class ever set about executing these plans with determination as strong as ours, and no class ever had brighter prospects for their future welfare. All seemed to be optimists in the fullest sense of the word. This being our graduating year, of course we expected to do a great deal of work, but as it is the policy of all Senior classes, especially of this class, to do as little as possible, we never do anything that we do not have to do, and have, thereby, made ourselves one of the most remarkable classes that ever graced the halls of this old building. But notwithstanding this policy, we all consider that we are, at present, doing very good work, for we know a pass this time means something. In view of this fact, Herbert is becoming an expert in the Shorthand line. He sometimes gets in such a hurry that he hardly dares to take his pencil from the paper, stretch¬ ing his notes from one side to the other. Also from the same cause, Theo is becoming an expert accountant, and Epsey is planning to teach music. The remainder of us just bide our time and take things easy. This year seems to be one of change in several ways. We are not following the same vocation as a whole that we did last year. Perhaps it is because, as Seniors, we know a great deal more and are wiser, thus being better able to see what is best to be done. Herbert, to make a better speaker of himself, is delving in the wonders of elocution preparing his stairway to the realms of oratory. Leona W. is taking shorthand as much for pleasure as anything 4G else, though she sometimes thinks of applying her energies to the mechanism of a typewriter in the office of some dignitary. A. B. has put aside his violin, and acts as Librarian or anything else that comes to hand, and Lillian has turned her attention to love affairs. Though we have undergone this change, yet we have had our share of pleasure. Of late there have been occasions, such as recep¬ tions, parties, etc., that will ever be remembered by us as long as we live. Besides pleasure, we have had our share of the honors that somehow found a resting place on the shoulders of some of our members. Epsey and Jack were chosen by that most honorable body, the faculty, as representatives of the class, an honor which gives prominence to any student who is fortunate enough to win it, and A. B. has been chosen as representative of the Lomax Society for the inter-society contest which takes place at the close of the session. We are now nearing the goal of our aspirations in the “Old Industrial.” We have almost finished the five years battle. We have been in service so long, always carrying our banner at the head of the forces, that it is with some regret we break ranks with our Alma Mater. The gladness, however, of knowing that our toils are soon to be o’er greatly overbalances this regret, and now every thought, every act, and every impulse is for a pass at the close of the session. For five years we have looked forward to the time when we would receive the insignia which would give us the desired authority in the arena of the world. Five years have we been wait¬ ing for the time to come when we would have the pleasure of saying, “We are graduates,” and now as the time is almost at hand our mightiest efforts will be put forth. Nothing that will aid us in any way will be neglected, and when that day arrives we shall put on the greatest dignity of a graduate, allow our ambitions to soar away over the plains of knowledge, touch on the borders of happiness, and gaze reverently on the pinnacles of fame, then we will call our¬ selves back to the turmoil of life, take a thorough view of our sur¬ roundings, hoist the sails of our little crafts, weigh anchor and sail away on the seas of the future. 47 i ub-li emnr dlasa J.

Motto— “Spectemur Agendi.” Looking far back into the past, methinks I can see the faint outline of a class-room in which are assembled twenty-four eager, rmbitious Sophomores for the purpose of organizing our class. How our young hearts burned with the desire for knowledge; and to be a Senior was the highest ambition of each. Now the goal is reached. It, like all great achievements, has not been gained without a. struggle, yet we are the class who have from the first been determined to do our duty at this school, our Alma Mater, cheerfully, and make it a pleasure rather than a bore. So, you find us not the dignifie d, but the “happy” Seniors. In fact one of our members has declared that he will never grow old, but will always be “Young.” To those who are not personally acquainted with the class of ’05 y 2 , allow me to acquaint you with a few of them. 51 First comes our president. There is not a member who does not admire and respect him, yet we will all agree that he does not conform with our rule of dignity. Although we are as a whole a fun-loving class, the good for¬ tune of being truly witty has befallen only a limited few. The one on whose brow we may justly place this crown of wit is Nora Slack. In reality, J twas only last fall that we lost our Class Musician, yet how much longer it seems since then; how we miss her and long to hear her sweet voice once more. But grieve not, class¬ mates, she is but a fragrant flower, budded in our class to bloom in some vine-covered cottage, the queen of some man’s heart. The youngest boy in our class conforms with his idea that “a lie is an abomination in the sight of the Lord and an ever present help in time of need.” He may be great in other achievements, but as a “fibber” he is a success. Aside from these which I have mentioned, there will go out from our class orators, lawyers, stenographers, “cooks,” and, in fact, men and women fitted for every phase of life. More than being fitted for these occupations, they will go out into the world, and in the name of our class manifest such a senti¬ ment that through their influence our beloved Southland will be better for their having lived in it. 52 3faurtli fkar ®rrm (Etas Henry C.

As we look back upon these years we find many things upon which our memory dwells with pleasure, and yet there is a touch of sadness in the thought that never more shall we tread the path of the verdant Freshman or be numbered with the scarcely less green Sophomores. To our class each year has added its list of new mem¬ bers and seen many of the weaker ones fall by the wayside, so that now, after the test of these three years, there remain only fifteen of the true and tried. Among the many good qualities for which our class is dis¬ tinguished there is one which deserves special mention, and this it is to which one of our teachers referred when she said, “The Four- Twos are the best class in the school for talking.” This is only one of the many compliments which we have received, but our modesty forbids our repeating any more. But, seriously: In reviewing the record of our past years we feel justly proud of the honors which members of our class have achieved, and we can only wish that the future may hold in store for us the same good fortune which has been ours in the past. Looking forward and into the future we can scarcely realize that only one more year lies between us and the goal which we have been striving so earnestly to reach, but this should only inspire us to higher and nobler things, and bring us to the realization of the poet ' s glad words— Life must on and upward go; The eternal step of progress beats To that great anthem calm and low Which God repeats. 57 (Hit?

Listen, old students, and you shall hear Of the wonderful record of ’07s this year. In the first place, I’m sure we are the most intelligent and civ¬ ilized class in school. Just look at the Seniors and see how indif¬ ferent they are and how awkwardly they wear their gowns of Senior dignity, the ’07’s look alive and up-to-date, and they are, too. I have good authority for the assertion that we are the smartest class in school; just look at some of our members. There are Joe Thiele and Sidney Stewart, noted for their remarkable insight in reading those horrid essays. Now, in Math, Lottie Wilson and Luda Brownlee obtain functions for angles that astound us all and would amaze Mr. Wentworth if he were present. I ' must tell Aylmer Duncan he has done absolutely nothing at all this year but love the girls and beg fudge from them. In return for the fudge he lavishes his rarest smiles on them; but mercy! that is reward enough. The members of this class will be something in the future. Just iook at Helen Marbury; she’ll be a Latin scholar, I’m sure; she says she is going to add more commentaries to the Gallic War. Pennie Gullatt will certainly be a noted singer. When she sings that pathetic song, “Bill Bailey,” we just have to weep. There are many more distinguished members, but it would take volumes to tell about them all. I can draw this history to a fitting close by telling some of the things we have done. In the first place, we have completely fooled Ihe teachers, so that they see fit to give us over 90 every month; more than that, we have made them love us by our winning ways. Then, we determined to have a good time this year, and we have. The teachers bother us very little; only once in a while they remind us of the fact that we had better go to class. Of course we go just to please them, and they show their gratitude by giving us work to do. But we don’t lose heart, for we know we will be graduated with honors. 61 Stc s To The girl ' Tke §irl o|- Th.e.

All good Soph’s go to Heaven, And we’ll be the class °f ° 7 - Who’s next? Look out! Here they come! Why, its the Sophs. They are a jolly hard-working band of forty-six. Let s see what they have to say. Well, they want to tell us about what dis¬ tinction some of their number have won in public. Since we have donned the Sophomore cap and left the Fresh man in the rear, we rank first in whatever comes up, be it contests or smallpox, good looks or ugliness. W e are noted for the zea with which we master all things thrown i n our wa L by our bonorec and beloved teachers. We show unusual ability in the way we can slip things. Sir Isaac Newton himself was never more sure of untangling the intricate cords of a physi cs problem than our mte ligent class, and as for Geometry, it’s only a picnic. Constructing the various figures reminds us of those trying old days w en w were in the lower grades and could not learn our lessons an tac to draw pictures of the school house, or the teacner, to pass away the weary moments. Explaining the problem is just like getting up and reciting, “Twinkle, twinkle, little star, or Mar had a itt e lamb.” Among our noted orators, Ed. Robertson claims first place. Then, there’s Mary Barr, who sings divinely, while Ada A 1 goo 66 thrills our very souls as the notes roll softly from her touch. Elma Cary ranks first among Miss Williams’ elocution pupils, and has gained quite a reputation reciting on public programs. In so large a company of young people, some must be awkward, some graceful, some timid, and others dignified. For instance, dur¬ ing a recent snow, one of our girls slipped clumsily on the ice while crossing the bridge near school. One of our handsome young men, who pretends to know so much, when asked a question looks awfully distressed while his blushes burn his memory to such an extent that he forgets just what to say for an answer. Fortunately, we have only one dignified member in the whole class. She has no time for fun like other girls, and never comes down from her perch of dig¬ nity. Among the members of the Town Basket Ball Team, the best players and most graceful ones are 3-2 girls. Almost all of the class are jolly and great lovers of fun, especially so is one young Miss who sees something ridiculous in every little incident, and always has some to tell on her classmates. We are not only the leaders in all the Societies and Associa¬ tions, but are the leaders of the L. I. I., and in the future this class of illustrious fame shall give to our country great teachers, orators, and statesmen. Hip, ho! Zip, rolley! Gee, golly! Hot-to-molly. Rah! Rah! Rah! 9, 10, 11! We’re the class of naughty seven. (Htttrft frar iFtrat ®rrm Gllaaa Allen, Carl F. Allen. E. B. Archibald, E. E. Avery, E. R. Boughton, L. O. Brasher, Loula Brothers, J. K. Burley, F. M. Busbey, J. S.

Mr. E. G. Pierce Mr. R. W. Selvidge 88 Slu ' Idem ax ICitfranj iwirttj On February 8, 1896, Col. A. T. Prescott with the boys of the higher classes met to organize a society hitherto unknown in this institution, namely: a literary society. The purpose of this society was to train young men for active service in the duties of life, and to give them a practical training in parliamentary laws, which would result in ease of appearance when addressing an audience. At this first meeting, a permanent organization was perfected and we be gan work with the following able men as officers: W. H. Hodges, president; C. E. Collins, vice-president; C. W. Mullen, secretary; W. C. Morris, treasurer; S. M. Burgess, critic; and C. S. Culpepper, marshal. One of the first things to be done was to select a name, and a no more appropriate one could have been chosen than “The Lomax Literary Society. This organization was so named in honor of Mr. G. M. Lomax of Lincoln Parish, known to most of us because of his earnest efforts toward the establishment of the Institute. The regular work carried on by our society is of a strictly literary character, consisting of debates, recitations, readings, ora¬ tions, original stories, quotations and extemporaneous speeches. Debates, however, play the most prominent part in our work. During the first year of our organization, Judge Allen Barksdale presented a medal to the society requesting that it be worn each year by the best debater in our society. Who shall wear this medal has always been determined by contestants who deliver debates at the close of each session. The following members have had the honor of wearing this medal: 1896, R. D. Calhoun; 1897, A. Kim- bell; 1898, A. Kimbell; 1899, J. E. Haley; 1900, C. C. Hattaway; 1901, B. C. Dawkins; 1902, J. B. Evans; 1903, H. O. Williams; 1904. H. O. Williams; and this session the contestants are E. W. Robert¬ son, W. B. Robison, C. L. Wartelle and H. C. Burt. During the closing exercises of each session, another medal is contested for between a representative of our society and one from 91 our brother society, the Agatheridan. These interesting contests have been won as follows: U. B. Kronenberg of the Agatheridan; J. T. Wallace, of the Lomax; W. H. Adams, of the Agatheridan; A. Ashley, of the Lomax; B. C. Dawkins, of the Lomax; S. S. Mims, of the Agatheridan; H. E. Dawkins, of the Agatheridan; and this year Air. A. B. Freyer represents our society against Air. J. P. Pope, the Agatheridan representative. At the end of the first term of the session, 1902-1903, it was decided to have a contest between the two boys’ societies, and Air. H. G. Fields of the Lomax was the successful contestant. At the close of the first term of the session, 1903-04, Mr. B. T. Cole placed another victory to our credit. This year the contest was discon¬ tinued. In conclusion, I just have one prayer to make in regard to our society, and that is, “May the Lomax, as in the past, ever remain a bright star in the firmament of the Industrial.” (Elir Jteltratt iCitmiru OFFICERS.

ISfiatnrg of t x? Jfcltratt The Pelican Society was organized in 1896, the second year of the Louisiana Industrial Institute. It was composed of about a dozen of the Sophomore and Junior girls. Only girls of those clas¬ ses were thought capable of doing society work. Miss Coleman, the instructor in the business department, and Miss Harkins, of the Domestic Science department, drew up the first constitution and by-laws. After the officers were elected, Miss Gerty Mayfield being chosen the first president, the name of the society was discussed. It was unanimously agreed that it should be named for the president of the Institute, Arthur Taylor Prescott, or the A. T. P. Society. By the request of Mr. Prescott the name, after serving one year, was changed to “Pelican. ' ' Two years from the time the society was organized Mr. Aswell, then a teacher in the Industrial Institute, gave to the Hypatian and Pelican societies a medal, known as the Jastremski medal. A mem¬ ber from each society was elected to represent it in an oratorical contest for this medal in the commencement exercises. In the first contest Miss Mary Mims, a Pelican, carried off the honors. The Pelicans have not always been successful, by the way, but each defeat has helped to increase the society spirit. In 1903, Mr. Gullatt gave to the Pelican Society a gold medal, which was indeed appreciated by every member of the society. Long ago the seeds sown by the A. T. P. ' s have come forth and gladdened many a poor girl’s heart, but today we are reaping bene¬ fits that are worth more than the most ambitious girl could then have hoped for. We have girls in our society with whom it is a pleasure to live, and every moment we can spend in our Pelican Hall will surely prove profitable. Our motto is now and ever will be “Onward and Upward.” 97 ) Agathmfoatt IGttrrarg OFFICERS. Z. T. Young .... T. W. O’Bannon John James .... W. V. Ledbetter . Dan Pope . W. A. Hartzo . .

The Agatheridan Literary Society was organized through the suggestion and with the help of Mr. J. B. Aswell, who was then a teacher in the Industrial, and the name Agatheridan was given to it by him. The organization began its career with about fifteen mem¬ bers, and the first officers elected were Mr. W. E. Bush, president, and Mr. John Graham, secretary. Soon after the organization was complete an annual debating contest was arranged between this society and its rival, the Lomax Society. The first contest was held at the close of the session of 1897- 1898, in which Mr. U. B. Kronenburg of the Agatheridan Society won the medal. The next year the contest resulted in a defeat to the Agatheridan Society by Mr. J. T. Wallace of the Lomax Society and again the Agatheridan Society won in 1900 when Mr. W. H. Adams represented them. This victory for the Agatheridans was now followed by two victories for the Lomax, which were won by Mr. Allen Ashley and Mr. B. C. Dawkins against Mr. E. P. Lee and Mr. C. F. Ellis of the Agatheridans. This was reversed, however in 1903 and 1904, when Mr. S. S. Mims and Mr. H. E. Dawkins repre¬ senting the Agatheridans, won the medal from the Lomax represen¬ tative, Mr. J. B. Evans, who represented his society both years. The Agatheridan Society stands at present one victory ahead of its rival, and it remains for the future to show whether it will maintain its leadership for another year. The coming contest in May will be a hard fought one, and the Agatheridans are looking forward to the time with confidence in their leader’s ability to win the coveted prize. The contestants for the year are Mr. J. P. Pope of the Agatheridan and Mr. A. B. Freyer of the Lomax. The general character of the work for the year has been good. Though our enrollment has not been as great as it has been in years past, and notwithstanding many things that have come in the way of our advancement, the society has done a commendable work. Our watchword has always been quality and not quantity. 103 ijistorg of tfrr ijijpatimt lhe Literary Societies were the first student organizations in the history of the Louisiana Industrial Institute. Of these, the Hypatian, formerly a part of the A. T. P., so called in honor of the first president of the Institute, was organized in the fall of 1897. As there were too many girls for one society, Mr. Aswell, the third president of the school, asked all the girls who were members of the society and also all those who wished to join to meet him in the Library one Friday afternoon. About ninety girls were present. Miss Mayfield and Miss Sherwood, prominent leaders in the A. T. P., were asked to go to opposite sides of the room, and the girls then being invited to follow the president of their choice, a large number followed each. The former society was called the A. T. P., and the latter the J. B. A., in honor of Mr. Aswell who organized it, but later, by his special request the name was changed to Hypatian. The society grew that year to be one of the largest in school, and the interest and enthusiasm ran high. In the spring of 98 both the boys’ and the girls’ societies bought a medal to be given for oratory at commencement, thus creating a feeling of rivalry and developing the oratorical powers of the members. The success of the society lies strictly in the hands of the students, and as each one feels that the responsibility rests more or less upon her. a spirit is aroused that makes the work a pleasure rather than a task. Each girl derives a benefit from the society work that can be gotten from no other source in school—she gains confidence in herself, and all womanly traits are brought out. From year to year the society has continued to grow, until it has one of the strongest memberships in school, not in membership alone, but in strength, determination to excel, highness of purpose, and in living up to its motto, “Sapere Aude.” 104 ®li?

The Young Men’s Christian Association has accomplished dur¬ ing the past year a greater work than, perhaps, ever before in its history. The Bible Study Department which was organized and developed during the session of 1901-1902 under the leadership of the president for that year, Mr. J. E. Smitherman, and permanently strengthened by his successor, Mr. H. E. Dawkins, has been con¬ ducted with a marked degree of success under the present president, Mr. J. P. Pope, with the assistance of the Bible Study Committee. The Missionary Department, organized at the end of the first half year of the present session by Mr. J. B. Evans, has greatly added to the general work of the Association, but it is still undevel¬ oped and presents the most needy field of the entire work. The other departments have done very good work, and viewing the work as a whole this has been a very successful year, although in the face of the great demand presented by the large enrollment in our school, we can hardly feel that we have done all that we might have done. Still, with our present strong Executive Committee, nearly all of whom have had exceptionally good opportunities to prepare themselves for their work at the Students’ College Confer¬ ence held at Ruston during the Christmas vacation, we hope we may be able to do larger things for the spiritual welfare of our student body during the next school year. 117 Fraternities PHI HE ALPHA KAPPA Sororities: LT A OMEGA EPSILON SIGMA PHI IOTA SIGMA LAMBHA THETA pit Sr It a If rat mtitij Colors Organized in 1898. .Red and Black.

One bright morning in June of the year 1716, when all of this country was one vast wilderness, and when the grand old Territory of Louisiana was in her prime, a party of Frenchmen started with orders from the French king to go to Mexico, and there establish commercial relations between Louisiana and the Mexican provinces. The leader of this party was St. Dennis, a gallant young French¬ man, who being restless and adventurous, had left his home in France to come to America. He was fascinated with this wild free¬ dom of life and the beautiful surroundings, and considered himself fortunate to enjoy it, when he thought of the stiff and formal court life in France. St. Dennis was a thorough knight errant, and everything con¬ nected with him was imjmed with the spirt of romance. His biographer says: “The noble bearing of his tall, well-proportioned, and remarkably handsome person, was in keeping with his lofty spirit.” On they journeyed, sometimes stopping over night with a tribe of friendly Indians, or enjoying a night’s repose in the sweetness of the prairie air. Finally they reached their destination, the old Spanish settlement Presidio del Norte. “I advise you to wait until morning before you call on the com¬ mander. You look the worse for wear, and I am afraid you won’t make very much of an impression in your present state,” said his companion. “Do you hear me, St. Dennis?” said Jallot, somewhat vexed, for St. Dennis seemed very much interested in something across the street. Looking in the same direction, even Jallot, a man devoted oniy to his science, was dazed by the remarkable beauty of a young girl, walking serenely along, accompanied by her maid. “Why, er-er,—what did you say?” said St. Dennis, with an effort, recalling his attention to his friend. Jallot wisely said noth- mg. 160 The next morning, St. Dennis and Jallot called upon Don de Villecas, the commander of that settlement. He was a venerable old man of military bearing, and St. Dennis at once decided, by his dis- tinquished appearance, that he was a genuine nobleman. Before the interview was over, he was full of admiration for him. “I am sorry, my young friend, but I am not the one to answer the question concerning trade between Louisiana and the Mexican provinces, but if you can wait until I send this proposal to Don Anaya, governor of the city of Cannouis, he will answer the question. In the meantime you must make this your home, and welcome to it.” They were interrupted by the entrance of a young girl, who was at once recognized by both as the one they had seen the evening before. To Jallot, she appeared only a beautiful girl, but as for St. Dennis, he was surprised at the emotion caused by her presence. “Gentlemen,” said Don de Villecas, turning toward her with fond pride, “this is my daughter. Dona Maria.” She greeted the strangers graciously, her glance lingering some¬ what on the handsome features of St. Dennis. Dona Maria was a typical Spanish girl, with soft, unfathomable dark eyes that could flash fire one minute, and the next melt into a tenderness unspeakable. Jallot noticed St. Dennis’ evident admiration, and he secretly wondered what would be the result of the meeting. Time seemed to fly, and St. Dennis could hardly realize that they had been here two weeks until Jallot called his attention to it. “Now look here, Jallot, you know we can’t go back until we hear from Gov. Anaya, and as that is my business here, I intend to stay until we get an answer.” “It seems to me you are making something else ybur business here lately, and Mon Dieu! St. Dennis, she is worth it.” “Jallot, you will cease to discuss that subject if you wish to remain here.” “All right, but I must tell you this. Last night while you were playing on the violin, she never once took her eyes away from you until she saw me looking at her. Then she gave me such a look that it sent me out on the veranda in a hurry. That’s the way with these Spanish girls; they can’t keep from showing when they like a person.” 161 But St. Dennis was humming a tune, and appeared oblivious to Jallot’s remarks. Next morning Don de Villecas, Jallot, St. Dennis, and Dona Maria were seen coming up the wide driveway to the house. “That’s Anaya’s men, and soon you will know his answer, for I see my messenger among them,” said Don de Villecas. “Good morning, gentlemen, won ' t you come in and rest? “No, Don de Villecas, we are here on official business. We beg your pardon, sir, but we have a warrant for the arrest of these two gentlemen, St. Dennis and Jallot, if they’re the Frenchmen that had been with you. Gov. Anaya arrests them as French spies. This is an unpleasant task, sir, but Anaya’s word is law.” Don de Villecas turned upon the officials like a tiger. “How dare you insult me in such a manner! This is an outrage; I will not permit it.” “Calm yourself, sir,” said St. Dennis; “perhaps there is some mis¬ take, and if there isn’t, we can soon show that we are not French spies. You may do yourself harm in trying to protect us.” St. Dennis and Jallot bade De Villecas good bye, telling him not to worry about their safety. The old man, speechless with emotion, wrung their hands. During this time Dona Maria stood as one frozen, but when St. Dennis turned to her to take his farewell, she fled, and as she passed Jallot imagined he heard a stifled sob. One morning a week later, Dona Maria was sitting listlessly on the piazza, when a messenger broke upon her reverie. “Good morn¬ ing, senora; I come from Gov. Anaya to see you on private business.” “Good morning, sir,” said Dona Maria, “Proceed with your busi¬ ness.’ “Gov. Anaya has heard that you have a lover in St. Dennis, and has sent me with this message: “Tell Dona Maria that I have loved her long, and my wooings have been in vain, but if she refuses to marry me now, I will put her lover to death!” Dona Maria replied. “Tell Anaya that I will never marry him. Tell him that I love St. Dennis, and if St. Dennis dies, this little Moorish dagger shall find his dastardly heart wherever he may be.” Anaya seemingly not at all discouraged by her answer, sent another messenger before the week was out. 162 “Well, what is it this time?” said Dona Alaria with evident impatience. “The governor says he is not at all satisfied with your answer, but as he has not lost hope, he gives you a month ' s time to consider the matter.” “Very well,” said Alaria; “tell the governor I will take the month to consider, and let him know.” She was glad to get so much time. She would try to save her lover, and at the same time save herself. She would not think so far ahead, though, now, for every moment was precious. No sooner was the messenger gone than she summoned a faith¬ ful old servant. “Pippo, I want you to make a journey for me. Be ready to start tonight, and in the meantime do not breathe a word of it to anyone. You are to take a letter for me to the Viceroy. Now mind, you are to give it to him and no one else. I’ll have it ready for you at seven this evening. You must not lose any time, and remember, Pippo, I ' ll deal generously with you when you return.” Going to her room, Alaria wrote the following letter: “To the Viceroy: “Gov. Anaya has two Frenchmen at Connouis, whom he is keep¬ ing prisoners to obtain a ransom. I hope I am not taking too great a liberty in writing to you, and asking that you will look into the matter. I trust that you may be able to release these gentlemen, who are friends of mine. “Respectfully, “Alaria De Villecas.” Should she dare to send this letter without her father ' s consent? The thought of how St. Dennis would suffer decided her; and at seven that evening Pippo had the letter and was on his way to the Viceroy ' s. Time passed too slowly for Dona Alaria, and she began to grow uneasy, for it was already beyond the hour she had expected him, and Pippo had not come back. But late one evening, to her relief, she saw him slowly winding his way up the broad avenue. She could hardly conceal her impatience to receive the message he brought, and when at last he gave her a letter from the Viceroy, she lied to her room and read her answer: “Dona De Villecas: “Please accept my thanks. An inspector has been sent to the Connouis prison, and matters will be adjusted at once. “The Viceroy.” 163 f Dona Maria trembled with happiness. Meanwhile, St. Dennis was chafing under his unjust imprison¬ ment in the Spanish cell. One day, an unusual stir was observed in front of his prison. The noise approached, the doors of his cell turned slowly on their rusty hinges; and the bustling and obsequious jailor ushered in an officer. “Whom have we here? ,, said the officer, in an abrupt tone. “I,” exclaimed St. Dennis, starting to his feet. “I, Juchereau de St. Dennis, a gentleman by birth, a prisoner by oppression, and now a suitor for justice.” On hearing these words, the officer started back and looked wild with astonishment. “By Heaven, jailer, off with those accursed chains! Quick! Set those noble limbs free!” St. Dennis’ liberator was one of his companions of early youth, the Marquis de Larnage, who had entered the Spanish army, and who had risen to be the Viceroy’s favorite aide-de-camp. While this joyous scene was being enacted at the prison, one of a very different character was taking place at the home of Dona de Villecas. It was only three days before Maria was to give her answer to Anaya, when she was summoned to her father’s room. Alarmed at the great change she saw in him, she cried out, “Why, father, are you ill? What does all this mean? Why are these offi¬ cers here?” “Calm yourself, my daughter; do not make it so hard for me to tell you. I am accused of treason and am sentenced to death.” Dona Maria was too stunned to speak, and would have fallen but was caught in her father’s arms. After a long embrace the agonized father tore himself from his unconscious daughter, and allowed the officers to lead him away. That evening just as the moon was rising and Dona Maria had taken her accustomed seat on the piazza, Anaya stood before her. Startled by his sudden appearance, she could only gasp: “My father! Is he dead?” “Dona Maria,” said Anaya, “he is not dead, and my purpose here is to tell you, you can save him. There is only one way, and that is for you to be mine. I give you another week in which to decide.” With this he was gone as suddenly as he had come. Imagine Dona Maria’s feelings when she fully realized the horrible truth, that she must decide between her lover and her father. Up and down she paced the floor through the long hours 164 of the night, her beautiful face drawn with suffering. Could she live the remainder of her life in misery? The very thought was appalling, and yet her father ' s life depended on her answer. If she said “Yes,” her father would live, and “No,” what then? A horrible picture of her father ' s torture flashed before her mental vision. “Oh ! Holy Mother,” she cried in her agony, “I will save my father, though it cost me my life.” During this time ,St. Dennis, little dreaming what trouble Dona Maria was in, was enjoying all the privileges of a favorite at the Viceroy ' s court, for he and the Viceroy had become close friends. He was not, however, satisfied to remain here long, for his one thought was that of returning to his lady love. So one morning he told the Viceroy his intention to leave, and why he was going. “St. Dennis, it will be hard for me to part with you now that I have become so much attached to you, but it will be too much to ask you to remain longer. To prove my love for you, any favor that you will ask shall be granted, if it lies within my power; and as I have some business with De Villecas, I will accompany you to Presido del Norte.” It was the night that Dona Maria was to tell Anaya that she would marry him. Seated on the old stone steps of her home, as if in a dream, she had watched the sun sink behind the distant mountains, and the full moon slowly swinging into her place. Sit¬ ting there,enveloped in the radiance of a night under tropical skies, she silently prayed to the Holy Mother to give her strength for the coming ordeal. Soon she was startled by the sound of approaching footsteps, and the next instant she found herself in St. Dennis ' arms, and he was telling her of his escape and of her father ' s safety, and how he and the Viceroy had reached Connouis just in time to prevent Anaya ' s unwelcome visit, and to secure the release of her father. “And just to think, dearest,” he concluded, “how near we came to losing each other. Suppose I had been one day later.” “Let us not think of such a horrible possibility,” said Dona Maria, with a happy sigh of contentment. So. too happy for words, each feeling a nearer dependence upon divine Providence than ever before, they silently, from their inmost souls breathed prayers of gratitude for their happy deliverance from an ill-starred fate. 165 Mentor OIlaBfi Seniors are we, and jolly ones, too, For with books and lessons we’ll soon be thru; Farewell old Industrial, we’ll solemnly say, As we greet the morn of our graduation day. Before us is a wide and unknown sea. Upon which we’re entering with great glee; Then those fair prospects, those bright dreams will unrurl, But, O, do not let them dazzle the whole world. The past is gone, and we regret it not, For against our teachers we never did plot; And our duties, we didn’t exactly shirk, But ourselves we were careful never to o’erwork. Without much effort, in the springs of knowledge, we abound To such anextent that our teachers we do astound; For Epsie is excelling so far in her art, That she is fast becoming a young Mozart. And Herbert, w r e’re sure, ’ll win envied fame, With H-O-N. attached to his name. “I’ll never be an old maid,” says Leona Wright, There we all admit she’s exceedingly bright. And to our other Leona s face, These five years have added a quiet and a thoughtful grace. What has Jack done but won the Alumni prize, And the joy of his class beams forth in their eyes. And Atlanta’s original ways, Will everywhere win her great praise. 166 The handsomest boy in the class, no one will deny, Elmo’d be, if he’d only half try. Of us all Ivy is the fair, With her rosy cheeks and soft golden hair. Abe, around the girls is always so gallant, And in other good qualities he’s not a bit scant. And Lillian is succeeding only moderately fair, In assuming a senior’s dignified air. While Theo, just a mere lass, Is the pet and baby of the class. Perhaps some would like it explained, How this height we all attained; “And this,” we simply reply, “Is the class that always ‘Asked Why.’ ” ' iiPliwm 15 WmM iMHUFtt !fffleilllfl fl lll?ilf5li fill■•®lift i!i Si MOTTO: United by Friendship, COLORS: Violet and White FLOWER: Violet.

To summon his array. They held a meeting standing Before the office grate, Short time was there ye well may guess For musing or debate. Out spake old Taylor roundly. “The Seniors must be passed, For now the month of May has come. They’ll need sheep-skins at last.” Just then Ramrod came flying, All wild with haste and fear: “I have them! have them! Taylor, The geology grades are here.” On scraps of paper handed him, Our Taylor fixed his eye, And saw the list of passing grades, And saw that they were high. “Get down the grade book, Bransford, With all the speed ye may; I, with two to help me Will fix the ‘dips” this day. In this quick way they all May well be writ by three. Now, who will stand on either hand And call the names to me?” Then out spake Queen Elizabeth— A Northern maid was she— “Lo, I will stand at thy right hand, And call the names to thee.” Then out spake Tom McDougall; Of Scottish blood was he: “I will abide on thy left side, And write the names for thee.” When the good old janitor sweeps the floor. And dusts off all the chairs, And sounds again the deep-voiced gong, That calls the students to prayers, With shouting and with laughter, Still is the story told, How good old Taylor passed ’05 In that mem’rable day of old. ifum to Sutotu tltr (Elaaara The First Year kid is always red, For reasons plainly seen: He blushes when he makes mistakes— He’s red because he’s green.

I had reached the place at last. But old Taylor held me fast, And said I couldn’t do just as I pleased. But I jumped and struck the ground, And got up and looked around, And saw that Taylor was no more in sight; So I gave her one last kiss. It was all that I could risk, For this to me had been a fatal fright. CHORUS. I could hear old Taylor coming, As I left the hall that night. I knew it was the happiest time That I would ever strike. Says the girl to me, “We’re in it.” “Oh!” says I, “just wait a minute.” She smiled and answered, “Sonny, wait and see SECOND SPASM. Then old Taylor came at last, Under arrest he locked me fast. And said I’d never see the girl no more; But he didn’t judge her right, For that very next night By the window my old girl did implore. Then I whispered, “Sweetheart, dear, Where is Taylor? He’s not here.” When those words fell my heart abeating stopped. My eyes fell to the ground, And I couldn’t look around, For there was Taylor where I thought him not. SECOND CHORUS. I could hear the old man chuckle As he winked his eye at me. I knew it was the saddest day That we would ever see. Said my girl, with eyelids wet, “What do you think that we will get?” I sadly answered, “Girlie, wait and see.” 179 IMAGINE: Leona G. teaching school. Elmo making love. Theo as a doctor.

A long, lank, good-natured looking new student passing the athletic park became much interested in a practice game of football— the first game of the kind he had ever seen.

So frisky and gay—his fun knew no mar; There was ne’er a sport like the young Lochinvar. He sized up the “city,” he rode to the hall; He was smiled on by girls who wanted a call; He went to the office, by the King to be ruled, He thought that he had all the faculty fooled. So gay did he get he was called from afar: Then started the troubles of young Lochinvar. The morning was bright, and the sparrows did twitter. But the tasks and the thoughts of our hero were bitter. He sat on the steps, with a scowl on his features, Till he attracted the attention of one of the teachers, Who, lifting him up, called Smith from afar; And consigned to a room was the young Lochinvar.

She had a dignified schoolish mien, And she was trimly clad; Her eyes were large and very dark, But her conceit—it made me sad. “Those ‘jolly Seniors’—maiden fair, How many may you be? “Oh, a dozen in all,” she did declare, And witheringly looked at me. “Now, tell me of them, I beg of you,” Then she smiled and said “Oh my; We jolly Seniors are all true blue, And having our fun at L.

B. and Lillian are in the kitchen, Foraging us Seniors a pie; They know “Jappy Judd” won’t give them a licking, Because the Seniors she dares not defy.” “Are you this bad?” said I, admiring her all the while, “After the advice left by the class of ’04?” This time she said, with a ravishing smile, “Now I am going to shock you by telling you more.

So on his bald head, they stuck it, tho’ loose. “And when Taylor came forward his announcements to make, With his pretty red wig all awry, Elmo and Herbert for the door made a break.

For soon both Seniors and Faculty were sure dancing some. We knew that our fun had just begun, “Now, Sir, as I’ve told you of the fun we loved dear, Instead of frowns black, and looks awfully blue. Won’t you give us a nod and a smile sincere. For remember you were a Senior once too.” Off came my hat to this charming maid. Who awakened memories of long ago; The fun of my school days, the pranks I had played. Those dear sweet days to never come more. “Little girl,” said I. in tremulous tones, “Here’s to your class of ’05, The class of all classes with no lazy bones, And of all our great classes—the one most alive.” 193 Sagligljt Mtfnw Sark Aftrr tljr £ nn Okira irnuu at Huatnn. Juvember 26, 1999. Mr. Jimson Joshaway, Bugville, Piney Woods. My Dear Old Dad : Please send me some money. Got here when the train did, about two hours late, after dark. Asked for the school and somebody told me it was right down the road a piece. Well, I suppose it was a piece, a piece of the world, and a good piece at that. I walked, well, I reckon, a mile, and I run into a fence, and stopped, but as I saw a rusty-looking old brick house, I clum the fence and went up to it. Went in the dooi and started down the hall, but hadn’t got far when a man, who didn’t need a hair cut, and who had very small feet, stopped me, and said he was Taylor. Well, I thought it was mighty funny to have a tailor in the school but I told him I didn’t need any clothes as I had a pretty good coat on. He told me to come into his office. It looked sorter curious in these for a tailor shop, as there was no machines, goods or anything like that, but I never said nothing. Well, who do you think he was? He was the president of the school and his name was Taylor. H9- asked me if Iwanted to matriculate, which scared m£ pretty badly, but I had the $5.75 you gave me, and I was going to see all the fun, so I went to the ma¬ triculating man. who I found was Mr. Howard, a very timid man, who always said, “Yis’m,” and was told that matriculating meant $5. Well, that left me seventy-five cents, so please send me more money. The next place they took me was to a lady called KING. She didn’t exactly look like a king to me, but after I saw how those boys and girls stepped about when she spoke, I decided that a mis¬ take had been made, and this lady was king and Taylor was some sort of an assistant. The King made me buy a pencil and tablet which left me sixty-five cents, so please send me some money. 194 My next friend to meet was Peach. He looked very much like a peach, just as rosy and nice, but when I couldn’t understand the example he got mad, and I thought he was more than a pair. Send me some money, cause Peach said I had to get some books. Next came Miss Hunter, and I tell you you had to hunt her to find her if you wanted her, as she keeps scarce every place except the library, where she was mighty good hunting folks talking. Mr. Selvidge came next, and savage he did look when I couldn’t answer his questions. They tell me he is the man I am going to like when I get to be a senior, but I can ' t bank on things so far off, so at present I will have to scrap Selvidge if he gets savage. You know you told me to take shorthand. Well, I went to see the shorthand teacher, whose name was Overton. Well, when I saw her I was kinder disappointed, cause she didn’t really weigh over a ton, but what she lacked in weight, she more than made up in the shorthand line. She could teach it at the rate of 190 a minute. Had to buy a shorthand tablet, so please send me some money. After leaving Miss Overton, I went down stairs, and was going out of the back hall to go to my room, when I run into two long, sharp thin somethings that I couldn’t make out, so I got a chair and stood on it and found a man on top of these stilts, or legs. This fellow was named Carroll. I don’t know wdiether it was Christmas Carrol or not. He was pretty good looking, so I stopped awhile. I found he didn’t talk in any extra big hurry and sort o’ pushed the words out of his mouth in single file, but on the whole was a mighty fine man especially in Geology class. After leaving him I went to my room, and went down to get some ‘‘HASH” (so the boys called it), which I have been trying to prize out from between my teeth with a crow bar ever since. After dinner I came back up here, and here I am. Dad, I guess P ' ll stay here, but please send me some money, as I am broke. With love to Liza, Mary, Susan, Jane, Jim and all the rest, I ask that you write soon and send the monev to your son, WILLIAM. At Glee Club Practice.

If Tenny went high up in the air, And looked over land and sea. Looked here and there and everywhere, Pray, what would Tennessee? I looked out of the window and Saw Orry on the lawn; He’s rot there now, and who can tell Just where has Oregon? Two girls were quarreling one day With garden tools, and so I said, “My dears, let Mary rake, And just let Idaho. A friend of mine lived in a flat With half a dozen boys. When he fell ill I asked him why; He said, “I’m Illinois.” An English lady had a steed; She called him Island Bay. She rode for exercise, and thus Rhode Island every day. A maiden with a memory So much at fault was Anna; She lost so many things They called her Louisiana. 196 Three cheers for the good old class, Our voices silent never; For her we ' ll fight, let come what may; The green and white forever.
