9 EDITOR’S PREFACE. In sending forth Mirabilia, Volume One, the Editors realize the doubts and misgivings with which it will be received. But they pass that by as a necessary evil, always attendant upon the first appearance of a publication. In issuing it no claim to literary excellence is made. It is asked of those inclined to be critical to bear in mind that this volume is a product of moments borrowed for this work from other duties; that it was written during those moments when the mind was confused and disordered by the anticipated failure in next days’ recitations. In making this sacrifice of time and labor, they have been moved by the hope of putting forth a publication creditable to Marshall College. It is their higher hope,however, that its greater service will be of the future. Then, when the memories of today, and the pleasant associations of this moment, shall have been dimmed by the flight of long years, they trust that Mirabilia will take their friends back to the days of their school life, where in Memory’s Chariot, they may traverse again the verdant fields of youths’ delightful dream. Dedicated to the memory of Ex-Chief Justice, Marshall, of the Supreme Court of the U. S., our Country’s ablest jurist and interpreter of the Constitution, and Virginia’s most gifted lawyer in whose honor Marshall College received its name. Ex-chief Justice marshall MIRABILIA BOARD.

Early in the last century, on an eminence one-fourth mile from the left hank of the Ohio Kiver, and 80 feet above low water mark, two miles below the mouth of the Guynndotte River and the historic old town of Guyandotte, West Virginia, and eight miles above the Kentucky line, in the center of what is now tlie city of Huntington, stood an old log house which was called Mt. llebron, and which was used for both school and church purposes. So far as statistics show, Mr. John X. Reck, was the first teacher in this historic old building. Soon Mr. Peck associated with him one Mr. Shepherd. Under these gentlemen the school prospered so well that it was deemed necessary to erect a new building. John Laidley took the lead in work ing up this matter, and soon succeeded in raising the necessary funds. James Holderby sold them one and one-fourth acres of land for $40.00, which was duly conveyed to the trustees by deed dated June 30th, 183S, in which it was stipulated that it should be used for none other than school pur poses. The Legislature of Virginia enacted in the same year that Benj. Brown, F. G. L. Beuhring, James Galliger, John Laidley, Win. Bullington, Jno. Samuels, Richard Brown, Benj. II. Smith and Geo. W. Summers be made a body politic in the name of “The Trustees of the Marshall Academy” to be located in Cabell Founty, Virginia. All these trustees lived in the vicinity except John Samuels, who was (Jerk of the Court of (’abell County, and resided in Barboursville, the County seat at that time, and Col. B. F. Smith and Geo. Summers, attorneys at law, who resided at Charleston, the present capitol of the State of West Virginia. A two story brick building with four rooms was erected, the lot was fenced and a good well was dug. Messrs Peck and Shepherd were the first teachers to occupy the Academy, which was named the Marshall Academy, in honor of Chief 8 COLLEGE VIEW, THIRD AVENUE FRONT. .Justice, .John Marshall, of the Supreme Court of the United States. The next statistics, which throw any light on the history of the school, is a letter from Jacob Harris Patton, dated at New York; in which it appears that he was principal of the school from September, 1839, to September, 1840. There is no detailed record of the school covering the period of 1840 to 1843. In the latter year, one Kev. Josiali l� . Page was made principal of the Academy. Kev. Page re mained until 1850, when he was followed successively by Henry (Mark, Joseph Foster, and Rev. H. McFarland. Prof. Y. B. Bowers was principal from 1854 to 1858, when he was succeeded by Prof. B. II. Thaxton. In the latter year the Legislature of Virginia made a College of the Academy, and changed the name from Marshall Academy to Marshall College. The trustees of the College at the time were principally of the Methodist persuasion, which placed the school immedi ately under the control of the M. E. Church, South, but the act of the Legislature making the ('allege out of the Academy, prohibited the establishment of a theological department in said institution. The trustees at this time were Revs. Samuel Kelley, Staunton Field, S. K. Vaught, (Jeo. B. Poage, C. M. Sullivan, Win. Bickers, J. F. Medley, R. A. Claughton, V. X. Fonerdon, S. F. Mallory, J. C. Warner, and the following laymen: F. C. L. Bearing, P. C. Buffington, C. L. RotYs, J. TT. Poage, Dr. (i. C. Ricketts, J. W. Ilite, St. Mark Russell, I)r. P. II. McCullough, FI. H. Miller, and L. W. Everett. Mr. Thaxton was succeeded, in 18( 0, by Rev. Mr. Brown, and Mr. Brown later by Prof. Thrush, who served till the opening of the Civil War. One report says that Rev. Staunton Field served some time between 1800 and the opening of the Civil War. Again one report says that Rev. Mr. McFarland, Mr. Jas. Foster and Prof. Boyer served as principals between the opening and close of the Civil War, while another report simply states that the school was local, giving no names of principals. After the war closed, Judge Jas. n. Ferguson, member to VIEW OF COLLEGE, SOUTH SIDE. of the Legislature from Cabell County, proposed that if the county would pay off the indebtedness of the premises and transfer the property to the State, he would see that the buildings and grounds were enlarged and improved and that a normal school should be established thereon. This proposition was accepted by the County and the State by statute made it “The State Normal School” and provided that it should continue to be called “Marshall College” and that it should be governed by a Board of Regents. 1'nder State control the regents secured an appropriation of about thirty thousand dollars, which was expended in securing about twelve acres of land additional, in completing the buildings erected by the Southern Methodists, making the first building three stories high, and putting a very extensive three story wing on the west end. After the City of Huntington was laid out, 1871, the State, by exchanging land with the Central Land Company, made tin College grounds conform to the streets and avenues of the city. In 18G( the regents engaged the services of l rof. R. S. Thompson, of Penn., as principal. Other sections of the state immediately wanted Normal Schools, claiming that Marshall College was not centrally located, etc. To accomodate these demands, State Normal Schools, branches of Marshall College, were established at Fairmont, West Liberty, Shcpherdstown, (ilenville and Concord. Prof. Thompson served until 1S71 when he was succeeded by Prof. Powell, of Ashland, Kentucky, who remained but one year. lie was succeeded by Prof. Morrow, of Hancock County, West Virginia. It was at the close of Prof. Morrow’s first year of service that Prof. -J. Beauchamp Clark, now the distinguished representative in Congress from Missouri, was chosen as first assistant. But the field of polities had a greater charm for Mr. Clark than the school room, hence he resigned his place at the close of his first year.' Principal Morrow was succeeded by A. B. Chesterman, of Richmond, Virginia, Prof. Chesterman was succeeded by Prof. Thaxton, in 1881; Prof. Thaxton by Prof. W. J. Kenney, of Point Pleasant, in 1884; Prof. Kenney by Thos. E. Hodges, 12 of Morgantown, in 1880; Mr. Hodges resigned in 1890, to accept the chair of Physics, in the State University, and was succeeded l� y L. J. Corbly, of Alina, West Virginia, who was called from his graduate work in the University of Berlin, Germany. The school buildings are located in the center of the school grounds, on an elevation of about 20 feet above the surrounding streets, overlooking the entire grounds, a wide area of the city, the Ohio hills on the north, and the West Virginia bills on the south. With the addition of the new building our school edifice now consists of a series of five buildings, solidly connected, a continuous ball way extending from one end to the other. The buildings have their main frontage on Third Avenue and Sixteenth Street. The Third Avenue or north frontage is about 400 Teel in length, and faces the Ohio River, two blocks distant with the fine range of bills which fringe the bank on the Ohio side. The Sixteenth Street or West frontage is 140 feet in length, facing the main part of the city. The secondary frontages are tin College Avenue or the south front, 400 feet and the Seventeenth Street or east front, 55 feet. The two eastern sections of the buildings, composed of three wings 20x55 feet, 10x70 feet and 10x75 feet compose the ladies dormitory sections, known as College Hall. Between these and the other sections there is a heavy brick wall with no openings in it above the first floor. The three western sections are given up exclusively to school work. These are respectfully, beginning with the most eastern, 70x78, 55x84, and 101x140 feet. All have been built since 1807. one excepted, and that one was thoroughly overhauled inside and out in 1800, thus making the entire series new and up-to-date, in their appointments. The school grounds located between Third Avenue on the north and College Avenue on the South and between Six teenth Street on the west and Seventeenth Street on the east, two city blocks in length and one and one-half in width, con tain even sixteen acres of land, for which nature has done as much, perhaps, as for any school grounds of their size 13 in the United States, toward adapting them for the purpose for which they have been appropriated. The elevated center, seemingly intended to receive some royal palace, extends from within 200 feet of the west end, where the summit of the somewhat abrupt but extremely graceful incline from the Sixteenth Street level is crowned with large wide spreading beech and some smaller trees ten to twelve inches in diameter, eastward 000 feet where it terminates in a deep terrace thirty feet high, which terrace serves as the west bank of a deep ravine. The ravine or, brooklet, enters the ground on the south-east corner and winds its way in deep, graceful curves north-westward through the grounds lined throughout its course with noble trees varying in diameter from ten to thirty inches. It is the beautiful curving of the deep banks of this brooklet, fringed with stately trees and covered with verdure, especially at its north western portion, that Dr. Goss, of Cincinnati, thought the most beautiful spot he had ever seen on a College campus. This brooklet with an arm extending eastward and covered with over fifty trees, forms the eastern boundary of the elevated center of the campus referred to above. Beyond the ravine and about twenty feet lower than the elongated elevation of the center, to the eastward is the young men’s athletic grounds, about four acres and almost entirely level. The northern or Third Ave. frontage descends by a deep, carefully cultivated terrace some twenty feet from the high central portion, and from the foot of the terrace to Third Avenue it is nearly level. On this portion are the main entrance, (a brick walk, twelve feet wide), fifteen of the finest old trees, the croquet grounds and one of the tennis courts. To the south of the rise extending east and west through the center, the grounds slope gently to College Avenue, this section being a little wider than the northern frontage. The drive-way enters from College Avenue, about the middle from east to west, comes at right angles to the buildings, curves gracefully around the large sycamore at the immediate south of College ITall and retraces itself. The eastern portion of the south side is given up to the girls’ basket ball grounds. u Resides over 100 small trees, chiefly sugar maple, planted within the last five years, and the shrubbery scattered over I lie Third Avenue front, there are the following trees: Raw-paw, 1 ; unnamed, 1 ; cherry, 1 ; ash,l ; locust, 3; poplar, 3; sugar, 4; gum, 0; oak, 11; beech, 23; Lombardy poplar, 25; sycamore, 30; elm, 07; total, 182, more than one hundred of which are large trees and few of (he one-hundred and eighty-two are less than eight to ten inches in diameter. Paralleling (he longer dimensions of (he grounds, ((he eastern-western dimension) and but two city blocks to the north, is (he majestic Ohio River; one block nearer on the same side is (he R. O. Ky., and bounding the northern front is Third Avenue, 100 feet wide, on which is (lie Camden Interstate Ky., (electric), connecting the College with all parts of the city, with Guyandotte, four miles to the east; Central City, four miles to the west; Cemlo, eight miles west; Kenova. ten miles; Catlettsburg, Kv., twelve miles; Clyffeside Park, with its beautiful groves and beautiful lake, fourteen miles; Ashland, Ky., sixteen miles; and I ronton, Ohio, twenty one miles west; students from which centers and from the intermediate smaller towns landing from this, one of the finest electric roads in the United States, at the very gate of the College. This electric line brings Marshall College in immediate connection with the homes of about 40,000 people. To the opposite side of the grounds, (the College Avenue or south side), and three blocks distant, is the C. O. Ky., and but one and one-half blocks distant is the Sixth Avenue branch of the Camden Inter-State Ry. Such, plainly and briefly put is the history of Marshall College and a homely description of its buildings, grounds and location. The enrollment of the school grew very gradually and was sometimes high, sometimes low, but did not reach the 200 mark till 1805-00, when it went to 223, since which time it has gradually grown till during the session of 1905-0(5, it reached 078. 15 GROWTH OF MARSHALL COLLEGE IN TEN YEARS; 1896-1906. 1896 1906 Number of Teachers.............................. 5 28 Number of States represcnted.................... 2 10 Number of West Va.

Positively tliis is our first, last, and only appearance since we have the honor of occupying the Senior's space in the first copy of Mirabilia, so sacred to the minds and hearts of those within the portals of Fair Marshall. Therefore do not look on into the “saccharine” futurity for our brave and noble exploits, but view them and implant them deep in the sacred recess of thy better self while you may; in order that these shadows cast before may not be cast in vain, but that they may go down in the annals of history and Ik heeded by those classes which are to follow in our footsteps and imitate the example set for them by their wise elders. Perhaps it would be more interesting as well as instructive to take a retrospect of the brave deeds and famous careers of each member of the class, and enumerate the achievements that have made them famous; but the exceedingly large number of the class, along with the surpassing greatness of these achievements make it an utter impossibility at this time. However, a glance at our roll will convince the reader that the time of the members has not been spent unprofitable, nor have their lives and careers swung to and fro as the even movements of the well timed pendulum. The number that began their career in the fall of 1903, with the Freshman class, was not a few, and they have won laurels each succeeding year. In base ball and foot ball many of the stars were from among our number, but most especially in foot ball, have we distinguished ourselves in both number and avoirdupois. In literary pursuits we have not been less successful. We haVe been ’ represented in debate, oration, essay, and reading, and the honors gained were altogether in accordance with the dignity of the class. One of our fair members triumphantly carried off the prize for leading the school in grades last year. We have been equally prominent in the School of Music and the Dramatic Club, where much rare and real talent lias been manifested. 66 Still, there is quite a different phase of school life in which we have interested ourselves, that of financial enter prises. Not only have we contributed to the College library, but we have also branched out into a little larger sphere, and are maintaining some stock in the city hospital, having completely furnished a room therein. Our class enjoys the honor of being the largest class Marshall has ever graduated. We regret that for various reasons the chairs of several of those who began the race with us are vacant, but we have stood the test in a wonderfully brave manner as is shown by the length of our roll. However, our gifts, talents, and accomplishments, are measured only by the sacrifices and tenacious qualities which have made up their developments, and if future opportunities are as flattering as past achievements, we have every reason to look forward to a bright future, and an honorable and harmonious as well as most successful life.

No one who has ever heard Miss Anderson untangle Latin or Geometry is in the least inquisitive as to her motives in coming to Marshall. But out of classes she is less serious, and seems inclined to look on the sunny side of lire. Miss Anderson is a lady of strong personality, and is possessed of an unusual breadth of mind. She is noted for her originality and independence in thought and action. It is said that she studied for two days without eating or sleeping in an attempt to prove that the half is greater than the whole. “Who mixed reason with pleasure, and wisdom with mirth.” ERNEST BRADLEY. Madison, W. Va. Mr. Bradley is, without a doubt, a beau gallant. lie seems to take well with the girls and consequently passes much of his time in their company, in class he distinguishes himself by saying what lie does not mean, and as none of the instructors arc well versed in conundrums, he suffers accordingly. In appearance, he resembles one of the old Greek philosophers, especially when he strikes an attitude, as when with arms folded ami head dropped forward on his breast, he becomes lost in thought. Bradley is a devotee of the gridiron and will be a great factor in the team next year. Boys must not have the ambitious care of men.” ONA ETHEL BIAS. Huntington. W. Va. Ona is one of the very youngest and also one of the brightest in the class. She Is such a modest little creature and has so little to say that very few know what her ability really is. She has an exceptional talent for reading Caesar as well as a true affection for angles and squares. Miss Bias represents a part of the foundation upon which the class as a whole is butided —steady and strong in every branch of her work. Would that we had more like her. “She speaks, behaves, and acts just as she ought.” AO SYBIL MARIA BALL. Charleston, W. Va. Miss Ball, another pillar of ye Mirabiha. is one of those merry souls who make the world brighter wherever they go. She has a warbling voice with which she makes the halls echo with gladsome song. At feasts, Sybil is always the center of attraction (with all reverence to the spread). In her work she follows the policy that it is better to whistle than whine. Sybil is one of the few people in the world whose motives are so pure and whose hearts are so guileless that they can be depended upon to do the right thing at all times. She points the ardurous height where glory lies. And teaches mad ambition to l e wise.” OSCAR KING CAMPBELL. Mavitv, Ky. Campbell was imported from the famous Blue Grass State, bringing with him that air of case and gentility characteristic of the southern man. He would have us know that he is young though the premature silver in his hair is a conspicious witness to the contrary. But he does not mind It at all—says it is caused by hard study. The professor can not be found in the school who will stand by tills statement, however. Along with it all Campbell is a deserving young man and adds much to the dignity and power of the College and the class of ’08. Would that he were fatter!” PHYLLIS HELENE CLARK. Peterstown. W. Va. Phyllis is one of our youngest members. Beautiful girls are usually dull; but judging from the way she handles the ruler and compass. Phyllis is an exception. She is always In a pleasant frame of mind and always has a smile for her friends. In her pensive moods. Phyllis reminds us of the Grecian maidens as described by the ancient writers. She is a favorite with the students, and well she deserves to be. Who sees a soul In such a body set. Might love the treasure for the cabinet.” fit EFFIE PEARL CALLOWAY. Marshes, W. Va. Any member of our class who has aspirations to become president of the United States, would do well to seek an intimate acquaintance with this light haired lady, for she lias those qualities that go to make an admirable First Lady of the Land. Miss Calloway, though somewhat modest and retiring in her manners, is not backward. In the class in Economics, she was able to stand and recite without blushing. Her ideas are broad. With the pen she is a Harriet Beecher Stowe. “Dormitory Rules versus Courtship” is the subject of her latest literary production. “Yet graceful ease, and sweetness void of pride. Might hide her faults; if belles had faults to hide.” LUTHER BEIRNE GROTTY. Lindslde, W. Va. This is the name of the business manager of the Mirabilia. He is one of those small persons in stature only. On ordinary occasions he has a careworn expression about his face as though, as was the case with Hamlet, demands far too heavy were laid upon his young shoulders; but in the College Parlor, his face beams like the morning sun. Crotty does not sing and he has hot a good mouth for whistling. He plays third base on the ’08 baseball team. He is one of those plain, blunt men who make things go. No where a busier man there was. And yet he seemed busier than he was. MARGARET MAY COKELEY. Harrisvllle, W. Va. May is always the same girl no matter under what circumstances she is placed. This kind, even temperament has won for her a host of. friends-, among the students. May is a ceaseless worker. It is wonderful the amount of work she can do. Yet with all her work she does not neglect the social side, and her bright face may always be seen In the parlor when there is something doing. She was once a teacher and is going to be a better one some day. “She has two eyes so soft and brown.” Take care! 02 FLOSSIE ESTELLE COX. Huntington, W. Va. Miss Cox is one of the youngest members of our class, and is noted for her good looks and winning ways. She has the appearance of one who pets little kittens and obeys her mamma. The corners of her mouth turn up. therefore we infer that she would make a good school teacher. Inasmuch as Flossie was never known to frown, make faces, or use cross words, her pathway will in all probability be lined with roses, strewn by the legion of her admiring friends. She likes German and Geometry, but has made her greatest reputation as a writer of love stories. “Oh, she is fairer than the evening air, clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.” CORNELIUS CARTER DAVIS. Grafton, W. Va. Davis is one of the great orators of the class (One could tell that from his high-sounding name.) His powers along this line are so great that he is able to breathe life and vigor into Caesar’s Commentaries. Yet, sometimes, as In comparing Arlovls-tus and a gentle maiden, he is apt to mix his adjectives. It has been whispered that he is in love; but not knowing the recesses of his heart, we can not vouch for the statement. Mr. Davis presided over the Virginian Society for the Winter term, which we consider quite an honor for a Junior. “His pensive cheek upon his hand reclined, And anxious thoughts revolving in his mind.” MARY LOIS DONALDSON. Huntington, W. Va. To this young lady the Mirabilia Board bows in recognition of her services as one who dared to labor and to hope for the success of our undertaking when the monster of defeat showed his teeth. Miss Donaldson, though one of the youngest members of our class, ranks among the foremost as a student. Her charming personality and ready wit have won for her many friends. One of her most striking characteristics is that of always being willing to urge forward every movement that is unusual or new fangled. After taking a college course she expects to organ i .e a “National Woman's Federation for the Prevention of Railroad Accidents.” “What winning graces, what majestic mien! She moves a goddess, and she looks a queen. 68 JOHN RAYMOND DAVIS. Grafton. W. Va. Davis is a man of great personal magnetism, intellect, and verbosity. He lias decided to study law. He may have been prejudiced in this choice since he has always had a great desire to enter this field as an instrument for the prosecution of misdemeanors. and for the administration of justice. His will no doubt be a successful life. He presses his suits with such ardor that nothing is proof against his pleadings. John Ray is president of the class of ’08 and orator elect for the Erosophians. “While words of learned length and thundering sound Amazed the gazing rustics ranged round. And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head should carry all he knew! NANNIE ELIZABETH DAVIS. Wartrace, Tenn. Miss Davis is also one of the causes of the Mirabilia. She is a rare spec-iman of femininity. Rarely do we find a girl who can hold so much of Greek and Latin within the gray and white as she can. Her modest, retiring manner is beautiful to see; and when she speaks, the characteristic accent of the South is charming to the ear. Nannie is very fond of Seniors, nevertheless we count her one of our best Juniors, and are glad to claim her. “Happy and happy still she might have proved. Were she less beautiful or less beloved.” JOHN JOHNSON FOSTER. Lewiston, W. Va. Johnnie Foster went to (Roster, In a shower of rain--- Why it is, we do not know, but that little rhyme runs through our minds every time we see this handsome young lad. It must be that there is something so innocent and childlike about his countenance that we are taken back to the old days when we read Mother Goose. Johnnie used to be very much in evidence on “Saturday Nights,” but in the course of events something happened; so he doesn’t go any more — still he does not look like a person in whose life a tradegy had been enacted. Quite to the contrary, he is generally in fine spirits. 04 ZUMA BEE GARRET. Wayne, W. V’a. Some of our Juniors take life seriously. Among these is Miss Garret. Neither social functions, holidays, nor hot weather deprive her of the blessed privilege of pouring over her books. She has even been accused of having good lessons on Monday. Miss Garret is one of those upon whom we depend to make our class show up well in the years to come. Unlike many people. she uses her tongue less than her brains. She thinks kindly of everybody. not even excepting her teachers, but on this and kindred subjects she usually maintains a characteristic sil-ence “Silence is the perfectest herald of joy; I were but little happy if I could say how much.” HERMAN OTHO FAST. Herold, W. Va. Mr. Fast is not only Fast in name, but fast in nature when it comes to plunging through the courses. His hobby is mathematics, although he seems to have an insight into the masterpieces of Literature. He is very fond of the girls but they seem to be somewhat shy of him. Perhaps it is because he attempts to capture them by storm when he ought to approach them gradually. But then he is young and will soon learn the ways of the feminine world. Mr. Fast has one of those high tenor voices so much prized by the teacher of voice. “What should be said of him cannot be said By too great splendor is his name attended.” BENONA FAITH GOSLING. Ashland. Kv. No wonder our boys won every baseball game in the Spring of 1906, for we had faith. Every time the plucky Sophomores scored a point on their opponents. Miss Faith waved an ’08 banner and cheered lustily. Miss Gosling is a Kentuckian, but entered Marshall when the fact dawned upon her that Huntington is destined to become the hub of the universe. As a student, she takes a front rank. In class meetings. she has the courage to express her opinions, which are always listened to with interest. She is a lady of culture, pleasant in her manners, an interesting talker.—especially at Dormitory socials,—and has a host of friends. The maid improves her charms With inward greatness, unaffected wisdom. And sanctity of manners.” 66 JANE GOTSHALL. Huntington, W. Va. It would be unfair to Miss Gotshall to say that she is six feet in height, imt we may truthfully assert that she is somewhat taller than some people. She is a lover of fun. and spends a part of her time at the skating rink. But Miss Gotshall is too serious to devote her entire time to mirth and gaiety. When school duties demand her attention, she is equal to the occasion. But she is inclined to go to extremes. When papers of two hundred words were required in Rhetoric, she wrote not more than thirty words one day and not less than one thousand the next.! These women are shrewd tempters with their tongues. DAVID GEIGER GARLAND. Huntington. W. Va. Have you ever met a medium sized angular, yet handsome lad strolling through the halls with a very placid expression on his young face? That's David. His name suggests wreathes of roses and the like, so we would expect to find in him a flowery orator. Nay, nay. It is a matter of conjecture just how much he does know; he is so reticent. Dave doesn’t like Geometry or Latin, neither does he like the company of young ladies. He does not look kindly upon a strenuous business career; he prefers rather, one of the professions. Already he is a professional on roller skates. . Let not words betray thy thoughts.” NELLIE MARY GODDARD. Franklin Furnace, Ohio. Ohio gave us this valuable member of our class. Among the many whom this state has sent us. Miss Goddard is one of the very best. She succeeds in every thing she attempts, but excels in Greek. Whenever Nellie goes to do anything we are reminded of what she said when asked why she did not stir the fudge.— Nellie knows what she is about.” She docs not take much interest in social entertainments unless refreshments are served, but this does not mean that she is selfish. On the contrary she is a true generous friend. Mary, since I first knew thee, to this hour My love hath deepened with my wiser sense Of what in woman is to reverence.” ca SUSAN ELIZABETH GILLESPIE. Huntington, W. Va. Elizabeth was l orn and reared in Huntington. She has never been anywhere else except to Baltimore, and she says that if the world is as big the other way as it is the way she went, it is a “whopper. Elizabeth Is one of those cheery souls who always make you feel better for having talked with them. She is reader for the Ero-sophian society and, also, a member of the Dramatic Club. She is one of the brightest girls in the class and is deservedly popular. “Harmony with every grace. Plays in the fair proportions of her face.” GROVER CLEVELAND HAMILTON. Bearsville. W. Va. This young man was lassoed in Tyler and brought to this institution, where he was made to serve as Editor in Chief of the Mirabilia. Mr. Hamilton is tall and handsome. As a consequence of his personal appearance, he is a great favorite with the young ladies. He is also possessed of great intellectual power which he exhibits to a good advantage. In class meetings a death-like stillness prevails when his orotund voice is heard and bis opinions are rarely disputed. Yet under all his sternness of manner, there is a tender heart and a lovable nature. Urge him with truth to frame his sure replies. And sure he will: for wisdom never lies.” FLORENCE LEE HOLLIDAY. Huntington. W. Va. If there is anything under the sun that Marshall students like, it is a Holliday. Hut Miss Florence scatters more sunshine among the students than Christmas. New Years, and Washington's birthday combined. When she enters the Library her beaming countenance has a tendency to light up the room and to cause the boys and girls to cease their work and look happy. Even the Librarian Is unable to resist the charms of this young lady, as shown by an unusual mildness in her tone when she says: “Please take your seats as quietly as possible.” Trust, not too much to that enchanting face; Beauty’s a charm, but soon the charm will pass.” ADA JENNIE HENKLE. Huntington, W. Va. Nature was unusually kind to Miss Henkle in giving her a beautiful form and a handsome face. Hut she is somewhat modest, and would perhaps blush if she were told that she is good-looking. We doubt if ever it was necessary for her parents to wound her feelings with harsh words. She never throws paper balls across the room or engages in conversation in the Library. Miss Henkle has legions of friends, who wish her well in what ever field of life she may employ her energies, whether that be in the sphere of society, politics, or kitchen science. Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye. In every gesture, dignity and love.” GEORGE LORRAINE HIVELY. Walton. W. Va. Lonnie arrived at our institution in September, all alone and unlabeled. How he ever found his way here no one knows, but one observing his diligence very readily concludes why he remains. His hobby is history and he is an authority on that subject, having devoted his time exclusively to the history of the Juniors. He was one of the winners in baseball last year, and will star next year in foot ball. His friends are many and all who know him admire his ability as well as his handsome face and patrician air. Resolved that we respec him for his quallerties o’ heart and intellect.” MAUDE HULL. Churchville, W. Va. Miss Hull is one of the best students in the class. By her strong, determined face, we can safely say that she is one of those persevering, stay-wlth-lt-till-you-win workers. We would guess Miss Hull to be a teacher—somehow there is always an air about them. We do not know what her talents and aspirations are; but we do know that she is a perfect lady, quiet and unassuming, and this is enough. We are glad to have her in the class, and could use many more like her. “Her steady soul preserves her frame In good and evil times the same.” 68 ETHEL MAUD HOFFMAN. Pruntytown, W. Va. Ethel comes from that laml of bad boys, so what could one expect when her environment Is taken Into consideration? Quite to the contrary, she is kind, obedient and most lovable. She delights in German and practices it upon her friends much to their discomfort. She doesn’t care especially for rules and regulations with the exception of one. She never fails to obey the call of the retiring bell, but can not hear the rising bell on any occasion. Ethel is very popular with the students and judging from the number of letters and post cards she receives, there are more at home “like her. O sleep, it is a gentle thing Beloved from pole to pole.” JOSEPH RICHARD KIMLER. Huntington. W. Va. Mr. Kinder is one of those fellows who do not talk much but mean every word they say. He belongs to that part of the student body which forms the moral support of the school. No one in Marshall College is more willing to do a favor to one in need of assistance than he. and for this reason lie is frequently requested by the Librarian to close the door. Desirous of keeping posted on current events, he reads everything in the line of newspapers and magazines from the local daily to the Yellow Jacket and Rip Saw. I know the gentleman to be of worth and worthy estimation, and not without desert so well reputed.” MILDRED VIRGINIA JOHNSTON. Huntington, W. Va. Miss Johnston is one of the very few fair-haired lassies among us. She is possessed of a voice marvelous in its richness and sweetness of tone in ordinary conversation. This indicates that she is a young lady of refinement and good breeding. We do not know what her plans for the future are, but should think that she would make a good teacher. We can imagine what an influence for good she would have upon young America. “Unconscious as the sunshine.simply sweet.” 6¥ LILLIAN LDCILE LEWIS. Kenova. W. Va. Since Miss Lewis entered the field of literature as a humorist. Bill Nye and Mark Twain have turned jealous eyes in the direction of Marshall. When Miss Lewis took her rhetoric, she wrote so many articles full of optimism and Irish wit that since that time every member of her class looks on the sunny side of life, and even her teacher has been transformed from a grave and dignified man of fifty into a jolly youth of twenty. Miss Lewis stands among the most deserving of those who will receive their diplomas in June, 1908. “Thy name, to Phcobus and the muses known. Shall in the front of every page, he shown.” ROBERT HEWITT LAREW. Greenville. W. Va. Mr. Larew is a Frenchman from Monroe. Contrary to his nationality. Mr. Larew is very shy. He generally runs when he sees a girl, hut as there are so many girls in school he has become reconciled to them. Uncle Bobby has not fully decided upon what his greatest talent is. but he thinks it is along the line of history; neither does he know just what to manufacture out of himself. He thinks he will either preach or teach. His deep basso voice will serve him well ii. either case. Robert plays basket ball with heart and soul—when he docs play. ‘ He’s armed without that’s innocent within. MAUD LAREW. Greenville, W. Va. Miss Larew is one of the hardest workers in our class. She has distinguished herself by the excellent grades she has made, her name always appearing in the first Honor Roll. She is a young lady in whom the teachers have the greatest confidence. They know that she tain be depended upon to do the right thing. Maud is an earnest Y. W. C. A. worker, and although she says but little, she is one of those who do a great deal by silent influence. “She is a maid of artless grace Gentle in form and fair in face. ?0 GUY CURTIS MACE. Proctorville, Ohio. Tins Guy is one of the number that made up the famous ’08 base ball team of 1906. He is quite a blow, and an opposing team is very fortunate if it is not frightened off the field before the game begins by his boisterous tones and “freakish actions. Guy has no little reputation as an orator, but his flights usually “waste themselves on the desert air before they are able to make an impression on his audience. But after all Mace is a good fellow, and is very popular with the ladies. Examine how your humor is inclined. And which the ruling passion of your mind.” LETHA ROSE MADDEN. Hebron. Ohio. Every body acknowledges Miss Madden to be one of the flowers of the Junior Class. She is a native of the Buckeye State, where she received her early training, but came to Marshall when she learned that West Virginia is the land of the free and the home of the Rose. The trend of her ambition is not known, but it is safe to say that she will add credit to any department of life that may capture her services. If women were allowed to vote, she would doubtless be sent to Congress. Search not to find what lies too deeply hid; Nor to know things whose knowledge is forbid.” HOADLEY FOSTER MADDOX. Kenna, W. Va. Maddox is best known in the Study Hall. In his absence the loneliness and dreariness of this room is equaled only by that of a prisoner’s cell. But when Hoadley places himself in a corner of the room, the Study Hall teacher forgets the other students and directs her whole attention to him. As a mathematician, Hoadley is the wonder of the twentieth century. It has been stated on good authority that he can prepare an ordinary Geometry lesson In four hours. “He di l the utmost bounds of knowledge find. Yet found them not so large as was his mind ” 71 CONDA CLEVELAND MILLER. Kyger, W. Va. The president of the Mirabilia board is one or the great number of silver-tongued orators marshalled under the old gold and white. We might call him the balance wheel of the class were it not for his habit of speaking when he resembles the whole eight-day clock. He is also very careful of his personal appearance. Gossip has it that he actually uses the white dust” to beautify his complexion. Mr. Miller's greatest talent is that of Literary critic. He thinks that all young men are melancholy by nature. Let arguments hear no unmusical sound. Nor jars interpose, sacred friendship to grieve.” LAURA ERMA MARSH. Joseph’s Mills. W. Va. Tyler county claims this young lady when she is not in school. She has a reputation for studious habits and winning ways that a queen might envy. Miss Marsh is very popular with the ladies, and even more so among the boys. She is said to be a general favorite in intellectual and social circles in the northern part of the state, and we have no reason to doubt that this is true. The chances are that within a few years she will become the boon companion of a handsome army officer. I shall be named amongst the fain ousest Of women, sung at. solemn festivals.” MYRON PAUL MAXWELL. Wheeling. W. Va. Wheeling suddenly awoke to the fact that she was not keeping pace with the strenuous march of civilization. so she decided to send one of her brightest youths to Marshall to receive instruction in Geometry and Physics. Maxwell was selected by the wise men of the city as the one most likely to become a great man. So they sent him. and it is expected that Wheeling will become one of the foremost cities in America within a few years after Max” returns with his new ideas on perpetual motion and the manufacture of buttermilk. He hearkens after prophecies and dreams.” 72 DANIEL FREDERICK MOORE. New Martinsville, W. Va. Fred is one of the battle-scarred heroes of the inter-class baseball contest in 190G. He was our pitcher and bravely did he perform his task. Every time he made a good play, the admiring ’08's threw their hats into the air end gave a rousing yell. This inspired Moore and as a result no class team met our boys without hoisting the white flag at the end of the fray. He is a devoted Y. M. C. A. worker, a diligent student, a true gentleman. “At many a noble array had he been. At mortal battles had he been fifteen. And fought for our faith at Trami8- sene.” ELIZABETH MARGUERITE RAYBOULD. Huntington. W. Va. Miss Raybould traveled over two stares in search of a school and a class that would meet the requirements of her fancy. Finally, in September of this year, having knocked on the doors of the Junior Class, she was admitted to our flock without ceremony. Strong in intellect and untiring in her energy. Miss Raybould stands among the foremost members of our class. Although her life is a busy one. she takes as much delight in recreation and amusement ns the 08 boys do in tearing down the banners of other classes. “Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil O'er books consumed the mid-night oil?” SULLA LEW I STONE PATTERSON. Huntington. W. Va. Sulla was born sometime in the nineteenth century, since the War of 1812. His first name marks him as cruel, selfish, and ambitious for military glory, but those who know him best consider him kind hearted, obliging, and too much in love with a civilian’s garb — especially a stiff hat — to don a soldier's uniform. Sulla is a prominent member of the Ciceronian Debating Club, in which he has demonstrated that oratory did not die with Webster and Clay. Orators may grieve; for in their sides. Rather than in their heads, their faculty abides.” 73 WILL ALDERSON RICHARDSON. Huntington. W. Va. Miss Richardson has the reputation of being plucky enough to hold her own on all occasions, and especially in her English Classes. It is not known what her plans for the future are. although it is hinted that she is halting between two opinions— whether to embark upon the sea of pedagogy or that of matrimony. She has a pleasant disposition, always greets her friends with a smile, and was never known to look sour at her teachers, or speak unkind words to her parents. She is fond of literature, wheat bread, little kittens, and red-haired yofing men. “A happy soul that all the way To heaven hath a summer's day.” ROMOLA GRANT PATTERSON. Huntington. W. Va. “Pat’s” middle name is an index to his character. It also reveals his political aspirations. Years ago he was quoted as saying: “Ma, I'm going to be President.” Foot ball is child's play to him. and if he had his way the ancient gladitorial combat would be restored. He has some very advanced ideas, but we advise him to make his abode in the moon, if he wishes to have them carried out. Fight valiantly to-day; And vet I do thee wrong to mind thee of it; For thou art framed of the firm truth of valor.” FRANK LUCYLE RICHARDSON. Huntington. W. Va. An expression of good humor can be seen upon the face of Miss Richardson at all times. On the subject of cheerfulness. she believes with .Tosh Billings. that “every time a person laughs he takes a kink out of the chain of life, and thus lengthens it.” In class she is not afraid to speak, and always has a witty answer for the teacher who tries to be sarcastic. Her courage is almost unequaled among those of her sex. Had she lived during the revolution, she would probably have sent her name “ringing down the corridors of time” with that of Elizabeth Zane. “O who does know the bent of woman's fantasy?” 74 FLORENCE RIGGS. Josephs Mills, W. Va. Florence may be compared to one of those still streams which run deep. She pursues her Latin and puruses her Shakespeare so quietly that, like the frost, we can neither see nor hear her working; but when exams, come and final settlements arc made, she is very much in evidence. There is a time, however, when Florence lays aside her mouse-like ways, and that is when as Captain of the Reds she becomes interested In a basket ball game. The fact that she is one of the pillars of the class does not need to be proclaimed from the house tops. Thy eyes are seen in diamonds bright.” JOSEPH BENJAMIN ROBINSON. Jr. Clarksburg. W. Va. Ben served as Assistant Business Manager of the Mirabilia. He is noted for his good looks and winning ways, especially with the girls. His voice is like the Pardoner's, large in song, but small in conversation. He has not decided upon his vocation, but we think he would make an excellent butler— in some ways at least. As a member of the Dramatic Club, he plays beautifully and naturally those roles which require affectionate demonstrations. Ben is a good fellow and stands well with the students. He is captain elect of the football team for next season, and one of the Moguls” in base ball last year. “He was a very perfect gentle Knight.” EUNICE ANN RIGGS. St. Marys, W. Va. Early in life Miss Riggs developed a taste for learning, and since that time no sacrifice has been spared that would aid her in acquiring a thorough knowledge of everything open to the inquisitive minds of human beings. If pressed for time, she persuades her room-mate to read her Shakespeare or Milton to her while she unravels a chapter in Cicero. That the Mirabilia is a fact in Marshall history and not a dream is due largely to Miss Riggs' tireless energy and indomitable courage. “Who knows which way she points? Find out the meaning of her mind, who can?” ’5 O.MA 1JISHOP RICHMOND. New Richmond, W. Va. By nature Miss Richmond is quiet and reserved. Never has she been known lo devote any portion of her precious time to scattering the news abroad that she is in school. In her expression and in her manners, there is a dignity and gracefulness, which awakens the admiration of all who make her acquaintance. Miss Richmond is independent in her way of thinking, and has the courage to express her convictions. Regardless of what history tells us. she believes that Noah invented the steam boat and that Shakespeare wrote “Thanatopsls.” “She’s beautiful; and therefore to be woo’d: She is a woman; therefore to l e won.” ROBERT CLIFTON SPANGLER. Pcterstown, W. Va. Spangler, a pillar of Mirabilia, hails from Monroe, that County noted for her intelligent young men and pretty women. As a result of his environment his mind has become so dissipated that he has taken to writing poetry. Cliff is great on propositions, but there are certain propositions on which he is an authority. (We mean originals.) He is not a long head, but he certainly knows his Latin and Deutch.” He does not play ball but upon occasions when the championship of the ’08 is at stake, he seriously impairs his vocal organs, deprives himself of a hat, and cheers them on to victory. No beard had he nor never should have.” MAMIE CLAIRE SPANGLER. Ballard. W. Va. Mamie is another of Mirabilia fame. Hers is a kind, gentle and hospitablo disposition—her hospitality not being confined to her immediate neighbors. We could not imagine a more desolate place than the Hall without Mamie, neither could we measure the gap in the class which her absence would make. But this is negative only. We do know that in Mamie we have a person of sympathetic and unselfish thoughtfulness for the welfare of others. Mamie has been accused of having the library habit; but will not the fact that she has studies under Mrs. Everett account for this? “What were the whole wide world if thou wert gone?” 70 MINER FRANCIS SMITH. West Union. W. Va. This man of much wit and wisdom hails from that county of huckle-ber-ry bushes and sage brush—Doddridge. One who has ever traveled over that all-but-forsaken country could hardly be convinced that a man of so much energy and power could spring from so barren a soil. In stature. Smith is much like the famous Miles Standish. and his admiration for Caesar is as great as that of the “little captain.” He is a lion in the basket ball team. Indeed he plays so hard that his friends are deeply concerned lest sibi mortem conscisceret. One of those still, plain men, who do the world's rough work.” CHARLOTTE ANN TALBOTT. Sistersville, W. Va. This is the name of a kind and gentle maiden, known far and wide for her mirth as well as her fondness for things to eat. She takes great delight in kittens and dogs and toys. She goeth out from her lair early in the morning and helpeth herself to breakfast food. Charlotte has a fetching personality and a very winsome way; yet she is somewhat shy. She is seen at her best at feasts and other gatherings where remarks are in order. Her strong point is “Deutch,” in which she is proficient. Finally, she is a bright and shining light in the Hall. “Her voice is ever gentle, soft and low— An excellent thing in woman.” HUBERT JOHN SAYRE. Huntington, W. Va. Hubert, has probably seen fewer summers than any other boy in the class. Until recently he persisted in upholding the colonial custom of wearing knee breeches, but the girls seemed to look at him askance, so Hubert fell in with the fashion and now ap-l ears in the array of a modern gallant. Hubert is a good student, but the Librarian complains that he thinks too loud in the Library. The study of languages is making a deep impression upon him. if the report is true that he dreams in Latin, and whistles in French. Young though thou art. thine eye Hath stayed upon some favor that it loves. 77 HAROLD PRESTON TOMPKINS. Cedar Grove, W. Va. Mr. Tompkins is not. very old, but he cuts a bold dash among the fair sex. He seems to take the ladies l y storm—(at any rate they can’t resist him.) Some say that his popularity is due to his winning smile, others maintain that the ladies are in love with his nose glasses. “Pres.” wants to go to West Point. He shot a squirrel during vacation last year, and so has come to the conclusion that he was cut out for a soldier. Lately his oratorical aspirations became unmanageable. so he was admitted to the Excelsior Club. His latest sensational move was to fall out with Shakespeare’s method of dealing with love stories. To me the cries of fighting fields arc charms.” HELEN MARY VOORHES. Ravenswood, W. Va. Helen came to Marshall from the Ravenswood High School. In the dormitory she is very much In evidence. especially at meal time and at the Saturday evening receptions. She was one of the bosses”' of the Washington’s birthday entertainment, at which, attired in an attractive colonial costume, she presented such a beautiful appearance that she has often since been compared to Helen of Troy. Trench is her favorite study. She will probably take five years of this language. then visit Paris, after which she will return to her native town and become a leader of fashion. “In simple manners all the secret lies: Me kind and virtuous, you’ll be blest ami wise.” GEORGE DAVENPORT WELKER. Hurricane, W. Va. George is one of those little fellows who are not quite as small as the average. The truth is his ancestors were a race of giants, who lived on the island of Juan Fernandez during the early part of the Christian Era. Georges mind is decidedly scientific. In a paper read before the Geology class, lie ventured to differ from Darwin on the theory of evolution, and asserted that there was abundant evidence to show that our progenitors came from the moon during a time when the law of gravitation was temporarily suspended. Welker was once very popular with the ladies of the dormitory, but seems to have lost out lately. A being darkly wise, and rudely great.” 78 EARL DURBIN WILKINSON. Grafton, W. Va. Wilkv” was born some time in the past, went to the common schools and played marbles until he was in his teens, and has been putting off athletic stunts and rending Latin ever since. He plays foot ball, but is best known as a base ball hero. On the diamond and in the class room. Wilky” is as crabbed as a bear, but he doesn’t mean any harm. His athletic feats have won for him many compliments from the ladies, for whom he cherishes the tenderest feelings, no doubt, notwithstanding his silence on subjects pertaining to the feminine world. “Unknit that threatening unkind brow; It blots thy beauty, as frost bites the meads, Confounds thy fame. JANIE RUFF WHITE. Lewisburg, W. Va. This young lady from Greenbrier is one of those enthusiastic persons who take well wherever they go. The Preceptress has in Janie a comfort and stay such as she rarely finds in others, and can always depend upon her to do the right thing. She is an earnest worker in the Y. W. C. A. of which she Is an officer. With all her good qualities. Janie is by no means a goody-good. She is bright and cheerful—always in for a good time. We know of no one who really enjoys her school life more than she does. Janie intends to teach, most likely in the Kindergarten; for she is very fond of children. “Worthiest by being good Far more than great or high. CLYDE ANDERSON WELLMAN. Central City, W. Va. The Junior class is somewhat noted for boys who have glib tongues. Among these Wellman is one of the little giants. His voice is as musical ns a bird’s but as lend as a fog horn. He reads Latin with great fluency, but this is due to his habit of reading from the bottom of the page toward the top. In this way he says that he gets the bottom facts first. Clyde did valiant work in helping to issue the Mirabilia. and is said by the ladies to be flie most handsome boy on the Board. “I was never so bethumped with words Since first I called my brother’s father dad.” T9 SAMUEL BARBER, Diekson, V.

MAX W. WILCOXEN, Huntington, W. Va. RUBY OR ETA WOLFE, Havenswood, W. Va. HO JUNIOR HISTORY. This is a history. A history is a record of past events. An event that is of enough importance to go down in history, must have been a potent factor in the execution of some great work that vitally concerned humanity in general, and that without this particular event, the trend of a trail’s would have taken some other course. The most moment us event of our class, and the one from which our history began, was its organization and first election. And surely it was of enough importance to go down in the history of one of the classes of Marshall College, for without it we would have been—nothing. It was absolutely essential for the existence of a class, that an organization be effected; and we are profoundly thankful to our class officers for thinking of this. It might be well to say a few words concerning our class officers. The fact above mentioned is enough to show that they are thoughtful and considerate of their class's wellfare. “The powers that Ik ’ exercised good judgment in appointing as protectors of our little flock, Miss Burgess and Mr. Williamson. As we have said before, they are thoughtful and consider-ate. Now who is there who will gainsay it? They have thought long over the almost hopeless task of ever making anything out of the class, and consider, that to clear themselves of blame, which is sure to fall upon their shoulders when this class either goes out in disgrace or graduates, they “will wash their hands of this affair.” It did not require a great deal of thought or much consideration to reach this conclusion, for no sooner did they suggest organizing the class, than tin class took the whole affair in their own hands, and proceeded to carry on the election according to modern political methods. One must not infer from this that any other than legitimate means were employed in this election. Our leaders were scrupulously honest, and would never offer a bribe or speak a word 81 to intimidate a voter—as Ion as the voter held the same views as the leader. II was in this election that so many of the young men of our class launched their barks — though frail they may have been — upon the sea of oratory. Because of the impetus received at tin start they have not been able to cease their thundering, despite the fact the student body has combined with the faculty in an attempt to stop them. They have everything in their favor for developing into great orators, Imt it is a notorious fact that they never made a creditable speech excepting in class meetings where there is no one to hear but 'OS's, and the same ones must judge. But to continue with the story. The result of this election was perfectly satisfactory; all or at least one half of the class being very well pleased. C. Miller was elected president; Miss Sybil Ball, Vice-President; Miss Anna Larew, Secretary; M. F. Smith, Treasurer; and L. B. Crotty, Reporter. (For a full and complete description of aforesaid persons, see Junior organization.) As soon as the president was inaugurated, (we inaugurate officers, the other classes install) he proceeded to call class meetings at regular intervals, for the express purpose of satisfying his pleasure at hearing himself addressed as Mr. Chairman. Many questions were brought before this august and dignified body,and strange to say,no matter how much the class was divided in its views, some faction of it was sure to win out. The most heated contests in the presidents series of meetings,, was the adoption of class colors. Not only did the young men lay oil' their coats and roll up their sleeves as they entered the fray, but the young ladies came forth from behind the arras of reticence and with ringing voices successfully championed the cause of old gold and white. We are now Juniors. The greatest reason for this is a Junior class is absolutely necessary for the continuance of our school, and as the ’08?s were next in rank, they were compiled to bow their heads and submit their necks to the yoke of custom and necessity. No one who has ever been a Junior 82 can help but sympathize with us in our state of miserable existence. We are called upon for everything a plotting Faculty can think of, front drawing a commercial map of the United States to writing a thesis () the times! O the customs! Hut then, “What reinforcements we may gain from hope.” We are going to be Seniors next year. Annus Mirabilis. It will be a great pleasure to sit in the Library and talk to her while the Juniors are gracefully doubled up over a tough proposition in Geometry, or, more likely, wrestling with a ditlicult construction in ('icero. And we will get to occupy the center block in chapel and look wise. The Study Hall custodian will look upon us and—draw the line right there. lie will never have the courage to correct or censure a Senior. Perhaps, when we have reached this advanced stage in our school life, we will have laid aside our freakish disposition and childish propensities; perhaps our class officers will be inspired by ho|ie to see us acting the role of grave and reverend Seniors, and will come back and claim us as their own. Then will there be joy over those returning, and— “7 the class of ’OS they’ll f lory. Towei'ing o’er the wrecks of time; -Ve’er forgetting, always praising. All its gualities subtime.” HISTORIAN.

Wakefield, Leslie Wheat, (Miarles York, John HISTORY. In a large and spacious room known to the students as the study hall, on a beautiful day in November when the sunshine seemed to make everyone happy, seventy-five sober-minded, intelligent looking Sophomores being persons of purpose , met for the purpose of a Her ting an organization that was destined to be —as now is shown—the greatest in many respects this school has ever known. 'Phis group of students can easily be compared to the day on which they met. Every face had an expression of good nature, and seemed to bring sunshine into the room as they entered. They showed their superior intelligence and knowledge of mankind by their election of officers. For President of this notable class, they chose a representative from the prosperous county of Tyler, where he is counted one of the most successful teachers. He is an intelligent, studious, courageous young gentleman. As tin president is so promising a young man, in order to preserve the equilibrium of our class, we selected for Vice-President a representative from Wetzel county, whose qualifications are such that he is well lifted for his office. For Secretary we chose one of the finest young ladies at Marshall. She is from Monroe county, which accounts for her many rare accomplishments. For the office of treasurer, we selected a little man from Kanawha county, who shows by his honest face that our vast amount of money will be perfectly safe in his hands. A young lady was elected for reporter. She is rather small and delicate to till an office that requires so much strength; but she can fill it very easily for she is gifted in writing poetry, which is second only to that of Tennyson. Her home is in Putnam County. If any one doubt the strength of our class, either individually or collectively, he has but to look at the record of the school to find that on the athletic fields we have come out with laurels which that wonderful Senior class would be 87 proud (o wear, and so grand that they would look entirely out of place if the Juniors were to wear them. IIow eagerly we look forward to the fifth day of June, when we shall call ourselves Juniors, and when we shall receive the privilege of spelling Junior with a capital letter for the coming year at least. Our strength will manifest itself more and more as we near the end of our journey, and on that evening in June, 1909, when the largest class that has ever graduated at Marshall shall he seated on the stage, with the beautiful colors of Old Kose and Gray floating over us. We fancy that we shall hear the faculty say, “Alas, we’ll ne’er see their like again.” This interesting story will be continued in the next issue of the year book, which will be written in the Spring of 1908.

We, the most enthusiastic, and most promising class that ever stepped into Freshmen’s shoes at Marshall, are perambulating along with so multitudinous number and performing such wonderful works that all records of former classes are being completely overshadowed. We shall not enumerate our meritorious deeds which have taken place in class rooms, nor shall we mention our remarkable exploits which have been performed on the athletic field; because, if we should do this, we might cast reflections upon our predecessors, who have not been so fortunate. And again it might look as though we were boasting, which we will not do under any circumstances; though it has been said, “He that bloweth not hiN own horn, the same shall not be tooted.” At our meeting for organization, Jan. 30, 1007, we elected as president; T. J. Kobinson, one of the most distinguished men that ever walked through the halls of Marshall. He is quite an athlete; though he does not weigh much over two-hundred, yet his Herculean strength is incomparable. With a number of such men as our leader, why should we not accomplish great feats? At the same meeting we chose for our motto, “Facta non Verba;” which for the benefit of those not so far advanced, we translate “Deeds not words. We have many young women of grace and beauty; some shine in social circles, and will win laurels for themselves in the fields of literature and art ;others are taking up pedagogical and scientific studies of which no doubt they will make an illustrious success, and we prognosticate for them a brilliant future. Of our young men, some have already distinguished themselves as Athletes, and will make better their records in the future; others of high intellectuality will fill positions of trust and honor in the business and professional world. With our hundred of such young men and women we look forward to nothing but a successful career. 92 We, the Freshman class, do not believe that the old Greek philosophers were as wise as people can become, nor that the great naturalists have discovered all the secrets of nature, nor that all great inventions that are possible have been made, nor that Cicero, Webster and Bryan have reached the highest limit of oratory: but we do believe that with all the broad fields of history, literature, science, and mathematics open to such a class as ours, heights far superior to all of which history has any record will be reached when we go out into the activities of life.

This department offers well graded courses in Piano, Voice, Violin, Theory, and history of Music. Upon completion of these courses certificates to teachers and diplomas of graduation are awarded. Tuition is charged for these courses. Resides these, advantages are offered in sight reading and chorus work free of cost. The present graded courses in piano, theory, and the history of music, were first established in September, 1901. At this time Miss Flora Kay Hayes, a graduate of the School of Music of the State I'niversity, was placed at the head of the Piano Department. Miss Hayes held this position from 1901 to 1903, during which time the growth of the department was phenomenal. In the Spring of 1903,she resigned her position in order to continue the study of music under European masters. In September, 1903, Miss Flora E. Poj e, of Massachusetts, was chosen Head of the Music Department. Aside from her executive duties, Miss Po|� e gave instruction—both in voiee and piano. At the end of one year Miss Pope resigned, in order to take up work in the Model Training Department. Miss Khoda Crumrine, a graduate of the School of Music of the State University, succeeded Miss Hayes as teacher of piano. During the four years that Miss Crumrine has held this position the department has made steady growth. The enrollment has increased from sixty-five to more than one hundred students. During this time eight teacher’s certificates and four diplomas of graduation have been awarded. Miss Crumrine has been granted leave of absence in order to spend the year of 1907-M18 in European study. The present graded courses in voice were established by Miss Louise Fay, of Massachusetts, For ten years Miss w Kay worked for the upbuilding of the department. In June, Miss Kay resigned her position to become the wife of Dr. C. E. Ilaworlh, of Huntington. In September, 11)04, Mrs. Haworth was reappointed to succeed Miss Pope, but in .June, 11)00, resigned her position. Miss Ada Berta Koehler of Rochester, New York, was chosen to succeed her. The violin department was for two years successfully directed by Mrs. Roth Walburn, a graduate of the Cincinnati College of Music. I'pon Mrs. Walllmrn's resignation, Mrs. Rose Frank McClintock was chosen teacher of violin. Mrs. Met’lintock studied music at Madison Institute. ith a teaching force so competent as the present one, the success of the music department is assured. Organizations EROSOPHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY.

Early in (lie history of Marshall College, two literary societies were organized. These were divided on the basis of sex; one for the ladies,—the Hyperion,—and one for the gentlemen,—the Erosophian. These two organizations continued until the opening of the Fall term of 1899. Societies divided with regard to sex did not prove altogether satisfactory in a coeducational school, and soon after the opening of the Fall term of 1890, a movement was started for the purpose of reorganizing the literary societies. This resulted in the formation of one society for both sexes, which was called the Virginian. It was soon discovered that this did not meet all demands. Dissatisfaction arose in the Virginian Society. A few leaders withdrew and in the Fall of 1897, formed a new coeducational society, which took the name of one of the old societies, the Erosophian. This seemed to meet the demands, and both societies were placed on an equal footing. These societies have grown as the years passed by, into large, enthusiastic, and very valuable auxiliaries in our school work, affording students not only opportunities for literary culture, but renters of home like interests, which they can call their own. The spirit of contest arose between the two societies, and the principal encouraged them by arranging an annual inter-society contest. He offered fifty dollars at first to replenish the treasury of the winning society. The reward offered has been increased from fifty to ninety dollars, and now at the last regular meeting of the Fall Term, each society elects six contestants; viz., a pianist, reader, essayist, orator, and two debaters. In these contests the Erosophian Society has always had more than a fair degree of success. Although she has had to yield the palm to her generous rival sometimes, vet this by no means hap) ens so often as to become a characteristic. At each annual commencement there is nothing more 102 interesting during commencement week than the inter-society contest. The Erosophian Society meets in its hall each Friday afternoon, at 2:30. The hall is neatly carpeted, beautifully papered, and is furnished with chairs, secretary's desk, debaters’ tables, president's table and chair, and other necessary equipment. On its walls hangs a beautiful painting of Psyche, 3x5 feet, painted by Prof. E. E. Myers of the art department and purchased by the society for fifty dollars. Our colors are emblematic. White is the emblem of purity, or the peaceful sign that all is right. Red is the color of the blood that supplies our systems, bright and pure, from which proceeds the energy that shall carry us onward to honor, fame and fortune. There is no feature of the life and character of the school that is of greater value than literary training. The Erosophian Society insists upon literary merit as the sesame to all places of distinction at her disposal, and the very atmosphere is fragrant with the benignant interest in every student, who seeks earnestly to cultivate his literary powers.

HISTORY OF THE VIRGINIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. At Marshall in the nineties there were two literary societies, the Hyperion for the girls, the Krosophian for the boys. But, no doubt believing that in union lies strength and that better results could he obtained from combination, these two societies were joined in the Fall term of 1896. After much futile discussion and many vain attempts to call the new society ICrosophian, the name Virginian was finally adopted. A constitution was drawn up, bylaws were written and the new society was auspiciously started on the road to success. In spite of its prosperous beginning, dissensions arose in the society. As a result of these dissensions, a number of members withdrew and formed a new Hrosophian society. While this seemed a misfortune at first, it has not proved so, as Marshall is large enough to support two societies. The rivalry between the two has been one of the most stimulating factors in the College life. After the division, our society pursued a quiet but prosperous career until the introduction of the Inter-Society Contest in 1900. At that memorable and never-to-be-forgotten event the Virginian contestants won every point. Although tin Virginians have never since scored so complete a victory as was won in this first contest, nevertheless they have managed to hold their own quite well. It was in these early contests that were first displayed those remarkable talents which have since been such prominent factors in the success of Mr. Hoy Marcum, a leading attorney of West Virginia, and Mr. Dwight Donaldson, now completing his Senior year at Washington and Jefferson Col-ledge. I'nder the able generalship of these two young gentlemen, the Virginian Society was given a great impetus and attained a high degree of success. Nor were these last mentioned leaders the only ones who were to step forth from the ranks of the Virginian So- ma ciety into prominence. Who, liming once hoard them, could ever forget those eloquent speeches of Walter Parker, the young man who has sinee won such honors at Morgantown. And indeed we are exceedingly proud of our competent worker and victorious debater, Rovd Sharitz. While the Virginian Society on dress parade has always been a source of pride to its admirers, to appreciate fully its varied talents and the ability of its members, it is necessary to see us at home—as it were—in its weekly meetings with no strangers present. Here are displayed its talent in debate its musical ability, its gift for original stories as well as essays, and a high order of executive ability. So far the current year has related the success of last, and the outlook for the future is most promising. HISTORIAN. 107 THE EXCELSIOR CLUB. Tin fundamental principle of success is organization. Ever since man lias inhabited this globe, there lias been a banding together of individuals for (heir own welfare and for the welfare of (heir fellow-men. No better example of this can lie found, than the Excelsior Club, of Marshall College. Organized Nov. 1, 1000 for (lie purpose of training its members in extemporaneous speaking, it lias been a complete success. The Club, composed of twelve energetic voung men, who meet every Friday evening at seven o’clock to discuss the important problems of the day well deserves the name “Excelsior.” The rules of the organization are few, and its manner of procedure simple. There is no permanent chairman, each member serving in turn for one session. The meeting lasts an hour, during which each Excel sior boy talks for five minutes upon a subject assigned him by the presiding officer. The speaker, of course, is in blissful ignorance of what his subject will be, until he addresses the chair. We do not wish to give the readers of the Mirahiliu a long, dry account of the work of our club, but beg leave to say a few words concerning those who compose its mem bership. No one who has ever had the honor of belonging to the organization can possibly forget the face of L. B. 'ratty. (Yotty is an excellent member, but has the inexcusable fault of sleeping while the others speak. On one occasion, just as a brilliant speech on England was closed with the words: “The sun never sets on her vast dominions,' (Yotty aroused from his slumbers and exclaimed, “(lan it, that must la a hot place. Occasionally one of our mem Iters is so unfortunate as to come late, but ('. Davis, far famed for his eloquence, and independence of thought, is always ready for duty when the chairman raps for order. More than once he has startled the club with his oratory in time to do us the injustice of leaving before 7:80. On these occasions there was something doing at the dormitory. 108 EXCELSIOR CLI’R Smith Henson Fitzgerald Miller Hively C. C. Davis Grotty Moore Tompkins Spangler .1. R. Davis God Noticeable among these twelve boys is W. It. Goff. lie is a forceful speaker, and is always listened to with interest. Once in a while he has the misfortune of having to go home before the rest. Those who wish to know why might obtain the desired information by asking him concerning the time the landlady mistook him for a burgler and turned the hose on him. When the name of M. F. Smith is called every one gets his mouth in shape for laughing. At one of the meetings, when Smith was given the subject of “Mine Explosions in West Virginia,” he kept his hearers in an uproar by talking on “Mind Explosions.” Among the enthusiastic members is C. ('. Miller. In addressing the club, he invariably recognizes the “ladies.” This is probably due to the fact that he is a “ladies' man.” He has talked to almost all the Marshall belles, and now weeps because the rest will pay no attention to him. Should you desire to learn the customs of the people of the North Pole, you can do no better than listen to I). F. Moore, who is the ablest authority of the age on Polar affairs. Moore is an excellent sjieaker, but when he becomes enthusiastic, he leans against the wall and places one foot upon the other. W. Henson is noted for his knowledge of poetry. He is very generous, and in some of his talks has given us the benefit of his poetic lore. With the exception of “Mary Had a Little Lamb” his favorite selection is; Doubt that the ttturn arc fire I Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love. It is firmly believed by all the members of the club that K. Spangler knows more about love affairs than any one else living. Every time he has boon allowed to choose his own subject, he has tried to prove that Hamlet did not love no Ophelia. So much of his attention is devoted to matters feminine, that lie lias no time to study polities. G. L. Hively can say more in live minutes than an ordinary man can utter in a week, or more than he himself can take hack in a month. Still more wonderful, he eats a great deal faster than he talks. After addressing the chair, 1 Joyce Fitzgerald always compensates his listeners with a most graceful bow. But this is not all. While on the floor he tells us something worth hearing. His best speech was on the Panama Canal. Still he was not certain whether the canal would he in Europe or Australia. One who is always ready to speak anywhere, at any time, and on any subject, is J. It. Davis. The fact of the matter is, he enjoys making public addresses more than he does those of a private nature. Davis is one of the orators of the Excelsior. Long winded, triple jointed words never fail to be at his command. His five minutes are often consumed before a hundred of these words can escape the “fence of his teeth.” Last, but not least, conies H. P. Tompkins. Dressed in the height of fashion, lie makes a fine appearance at all times. He says the Excelsior has done more for him than anything else in the world except bread and butter. If he does not know anything about his subject when called upon to speak, he looks at the floor, then ar the ceiling, and then glances at the presiding officer, after which he launches into a discourse on the ‘‘Pleasures of Boat Biding.” 111 CICERONIAN DEBATING CLUB.

On October 12, 1000, twelve earnest, sober-minded young men met in the room of a fellow student to devise a plan by which they might not only train themselves to speak before an audience with less embarrassment, but also to use better and more effective English. The result of this meeting was the formation of what is now the well known Ciceronian Debating Club. It was soon found that a private room was inadequate for such meetings, and permission was obtained from the principal to hold our sessions in a room of the College building. Naturally, with this increased room we decided to enlarge our membership. We now have twenty-five enthusiastie, hard-working young men who take hold of their work with that determination and pursue it with that zeal which brings success. This organization meets each Friday evening, at which time a sharply contested battle is fought in words. Truly, the eloquence of some of our speakers would convince any one that we well deserve the name “Ciceronian.” If that great Homan orator could pay us a visit, no doubt, he would exclaim; “Tt's well that I lived at Home in Medieval times, instead of at Marshall College in Modern Times, for my Medieval oratory would be to this modern oratory as the chaff the wind driveth away.' HISTORIAN. 1M ZETA RHO EPSILON. 55fttn Kho Epsilon was organized in the early part of the Fall term, '()( , with A. 11. Jordan, ’04, as President, Will Donaldson, ’05, Vice President, and Miss Frances Thornburg, 00, Secretary and Treasurer. The installation of officers so energetic, clearly foreshadowed the success of the organization. The purpose of Zeta Kho Epsilon is to promote the study of the Greek Language and literature; to faster a spirit of fellowship among the students of the Greek department; to provide a means of social enjoyment; and to keep alive in the hearts of those who have gone from us a happy remembrance of former days. On the evening of March first, of this year, a reception was given to our new members, nine in number. With this addition, our membership was raised to the neighborhood of sixty. After the reception, a business meeting was held, at which the constitution was amended to provide for a membership fee, and also officers for the ensuing year were elected. The officers chosen were as follows: President, Mr. Jordan, ’04, (re-elected) ; Vice President, A. It. Koontz, 07, and Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Alberta Cox, ’07. Zeta Kho Epsilon differs in many features from other organizations of the school. Probably in no other organization have the members so much interest and enthusiasm. Having in mind the advancement of the Greek Department, they are actively loyal in their support, and through their efforts it seems destined to make more rapid progress than ever before. An especially strong feature of Zeta Kho Epsilon is its social side. Kesides its annual reception to new members, it has an informal meeting of alumni during the Christmas vacation, and a banquet near the end of the school year. Our commencement banquet, is indeed a noteworthy event. After greetings in the College parlors have been exchanged, the members with their guests of honor retire to the dining 115 room, when they are regaled by a number of daintily-served courses. Here the greatest enjoyment of the evening is had. The ireeks, wearing their beautiful pins of old gold and black, burst into applause at the humor of the gifted toast master, or the eloquence of the various speakers. At this meeting are many old Greeks who have journeyed far to he present iijwm this pleasing occasion of union and re-union. The banquet closes with the address of tin honor-guest of tlu evening. Then the Greeks have a longing expression in their eyes for the next one. With greater membership and greater enthusiasm, our banquet promises to be a very joyous event. May Zeta Uho Kpsilon ever advance and may each year bring her into a fuller realization of her object. tin •XOrIIS«TH ( n I VX5IZ THE DEPARTMENT OF EXPRESSION. We're very much alive.

The Young Mon’s Christian Assoc in I ion of Marshall College was organized by Geo. 10. Tibbitts, in February, 11105. Although the Association is young, yet it has had a rapid growth, and is exerting a marked influence upon the life ol the school. Nyde llenson, ’05, was the first president. lie was succeeded by Ira L. Dadisman, ’0(� , who was chosen the next year to finish Mr. Henson's term of oflice. In February 11100, L. G. Hoover, '07, was elected, and served until the Spring of 11107, when he was followed by 1). F. Moore, ?0S. The Association endeavors to band together the Christian students of the school, and to bring them into actual Christian work for tin purpose of strengthening their spiritual life, and of making the social relations of the students more helpful and pleasant. The devotional meetings of the Association are held on Sunday tit 3:30 F. M., in the Virginian Society Hall. So far we have not been able to take up all features of V. M. C. A. work, still we have been instrumental in promoting Bible and Mission studies, in which classes have been formed at the opening of each Fall term. The summer conferences held annually have been a source of great help to us. Cyrus Van Bibber and I). F. Moore were our delegates to Lakeside, in dune, 1005; and II. I Tompkins in 1000. The Student Volunteer Convention, held at Nashville, Tenn., in March, 1000, was a source of inspiration and help to us. L. (I. Hoover, Waldo C. Henson, and l . F. Moore were our delegates. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. have issued for the last two years a hand-book, which contains much useful information about the school. These hand books are distributed among the students during the year. At the opening of each term, members of our Association meet all trains, that they may welcome the new students, and assist them in getting acquainted and located. 124 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.

All forms of athletics in Marshall College are controlled by the Athletic Association of the student body, through an executive committee of live members composed of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and a fifth member selected by these four. The work of this committee is suj erintended by a faculty committee appointed by the Principal. 1'nder the supervision and control of these committees each particular sport is placed directly under control of subordinate committees, composed of a member of the faculty committee and a manager and captain elected by students interested in tin particular sport. The activities of the Association have so far included football, base ball, tennis, basket-ball, croquet and golf. Of the last two, little needs to be said, since their activities have lieen con fined to those who were more desirous of the sport as a mere matter of exercise, than for any competitive reason. Tennis has probably proved the more popular sport since it has been open to a far larger number of students than any other sport. Almost any evening in seasonable weather the campus will show a large number of students in the various courts. Some very interesting contests have at times been held. liaschall, as the national game, is and always will be a favorite sport with young Americans. Marshall Pol lege, last season decided against a schedule with neighboring Col leges because of the spirit of semi-professionalism found to exist and decided on a series of class competitions. For many reasons we congratulated ourselves on this decision. More young men are given opportunity to display their powers, a healthy class spirit was engendered and a very large amount of enthusiasm was manifested. This system had also the merit of inexpensiveness. The series last year m (’AMPI’S srKXK. resulted in a decided victory for the class of 1008, to whom was awarded a flue trophy. The present season is to l e conducted in the same manner. The basket-ball enthusiasm has, until this year, been con tined to the young ladies. Their contests have been conducted between contesting teams of the student body. This year the young men formed an organization and played some very interesting games. This form of sport is growing in enthusiasm and may soon eclipse in interest all other sports. It has very much to recommend it. The great college game of foot ball is also receiving much attention. Marshall College has not been long in the field. Four years ago in the Fall of 11)03, the first distinctively Marshall College foot ball team was organized. The conditions were discouraging but after a disastrous defeat in Gallipolis, the team got together and won some notable victories, not the least of which, was a crushing defeat administered by them to the Huntington “All Stars.” The season of 1904, found practically the same aggregation together and proved very successful. The most notable games of this season were two played against a strong athletic team of Charleston, which resulted in a signal defeat for Charleston, in Huntington, and a nothing to nothing score in Charleston. The Thanksgiving game of this season was played against Georgetown Cniversify. This was the most largely attended game of the year and resulted in tiie defeat of Georgetown. The year of 1905 saw the team in the hands of an efficient coach, Mr. Alfred McCray. The principal game of this year was against Miami University, which resulted in a decisive defeat for Marshall. The season just passed has been the most successful in our history. The scores will be found on another page. A gymnasium is a very necessary thing in the athletics of any school. So far, equipment in this particular has been lacking if we may except a system of shower baths provided by the private funds of our Principal. We have now, how- 133 ADDING ANOTHER SCALE TO HIS BELT. ever, ;i room for this purpose and the next year will see it properly equipped. Marshall 'o liege holds i(s first duty to provide proper and healthful exercise t � the largest possible number of its students and this at the smallest expense. It regards the rosy cheeks and bright eyes of all its students, of greater importance than victories on the field, though these victories have come to it iu large numbers. Ho ART DEPARTMENT. The Department of Art made a lxv ginning, in the old library room on the second floor, six years ago with two or three special pupils and a small normal class. The equipment was limited indeed, but these conditions soon changed and it blossomed forth into a full Hedged Art School with fine black boards, models of many descriptions, excellent easels and numerous casts. “Patience and perseverance” have served us well, and now we have adopted the motto, “Truth and Beauty.” We can truly see that the whole school is being permeated with an artistic tendency. TUB MIRABILIA HOARD 10 tend their most sincere thanks to Prof. Myers who has manifested the greatest interest in this, the first publication of the Mirabilia. He has aided us not only by his excellent art work, but also by a number of valuable suggestions concerning our work in general. 142 The Ajtt C -Vb$ Got5 Sketchvng Stunts From The Stud q WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE. “Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part—there all the honor lies.” These words were torturing the mind of a youth who was learning the severe lesson of sacrificing a cherished ambition. He repeated them over and over, pondering, considering, weighing them, evidently trying to adjust his mind to this conception of honor. “Act well your part,” he mused, “There all the honor lies. then speaking aloud slowly he said; “Can that be the all of honor? Is it just simply sacrifice of everything to duty? How can it be? From what action of mine here at home can honor come to me? I can think of none. Yet it must be true. A greater mind than mine thought out those words. A man of more experience than I wrote them. A man who had a greater knowledge of life than I believed them, yet how hard it is to bring my rebellious mind into harmony with the thought which they express!” Resting his elbow upon his knee as he sat upon the steps at the orchard fence, he bowed his head dejectedly and looked at the ground with an expression of disappointment on his manly face. Twas evening in early spring time and a splendid sunset illumined the western horizon. Beautiful streaks of golden light tinged the edges of the massive clouds just rising. The parting gleam of the last rays of light shone for a moment 146 through his fingers upon his face and then hid behind the thick cloud. The boy raised his head despairingly. He looked towards the clouds in the west and a tense expression appeared upon his face. He only saw that the sun had sunk into the clouds below. He arose and gazed long at the western skies. Finally lie spoke aloud, “Just so did my hopes and aspirations once bright and nearly realized sink Into disappointment. Father is dead and mother is not strong. Some one must take care of Elsie and Harold, so the lot of protector and provider has fallen to me. It is clearly my duty to stay with them and make a living for all upon the farm. There is no one else to do it. I would not do otherwise under these conditions, but oh! how hard it is to give up an ambition! How hard to be prevented from finishing my course with my class! How hard to give np hope of winning Nellie, for 1 shall never ask her to come here.” He stopped speaking and his reflections seemed to stun him for a moment. He drew his hand across his brow. Slowly a look of determination stole over his face. Firm resolve showed itself in his manner as he drew himself up straight and said; ‘‘1 can not give it up. I will not. Man is not a mere creature of circumstances, and T will find a way to rise above environment. It may come in the most unexpected way, but it must come sooner or later if I but do my duty. I shall stay with mother, hoping that somehow and somewhere in the future a brighter day shall dawn upon my ambitions. My work shall be inspired by that hope, and,” he added reverently, “God will take care of the rest.” Feeling somewhat reconciled, he picked up his hat and started to the house. His mother met him at the door and looked up into his face, “Frank!” “Mother!” The two spoke simultaneously. She understood. She knew what conflicting emotions had troubled his mind. “Frank, you are not so troubled now.” “No, mother,” he answered as he kissed her forehead lightly, “I am going to stay with you as long as you need me, but I have not given up college yet. I shall 146 finish someday. I shall find a way.” “God bless you, my boy,” said his mother as she bade him good-night. Frank Nelson had been a member of the Senior class at Lawrence College, lmt his father's untimely death had called him from school just when he was in the midst of his winter term's work. It was a doubly sad time for him for it seemed that with the death of his father came the end of his schooldays. . Frank had taught school three years and with some aid which his father had hoped to give him in his last years at school, he had expected to l e able to finish his course. In his earlier years he had graduated at the head of his class in the high school at Jeffersonville, which was a little town about two miles from his home. He had gone to college well prepared for his work there both by his high school education and his experience in teaching. The assistant principal in this school had signified his intention to go to Vale the next year, and many had predicted that Frank would be appointed to till the vacancy, since he had fitted himself especially for the teaching profession. Manly, straightforward, earnest, yet jolly when occasion permitted, he was a favorite with all. 11 is having to give up the completion of his college course was a disappointment to his friends, yet they knew that his first duty was the care of those now made dependent upon him. II. Nearly five years had passed. A college generation had come and gone since Frank Nelson had been compelled to give up his college work. The farm under the care of Frank, and the tenant had prospered. He had realized a neat little profit besides a good living. Through the winter months when there was not so much to do, he had taught one of the schools near his home, thus adding both to his savings and to the esteem in which he was held by his community. It was now two weeks until t'hristmas. Just four weeks before, his gentle mother had passed to the Great Heyond, 147 and now the snow was laying upon her grave. Frank was left alone with his brother and sister who were now twelve and fourteen years of age. The house seemed desolate and cheerless. This evening Frank was sitting alone by the fireside, thinking sadly over the past. If was very late but still he sat there seemingly unconscious of the time. His face was that of a man saddeued by grief and care. At last, he slowly spoke, “1 must give up all luqies. The fond dreams of my youthful days have vanished. A career such as I have dreamed of I can never ho|� e to have. Self denial must still continue to be tin only duty of my life. ‘‘Honor and fame are not for me, and even more than that,” he added sadly and more slowly, “love is not for me. After a long thoughtful silence, his face seemed to grow more cheerful as the words which had troubled him so much once before were recalled to memory. “I think no one can say 1 have not done my part well. The world may not honor me in any way, but I have learned that I could not have honored myself had I done otherwise . I am resigned to my lot.” He now rose quietly with mind at ease to retire to his room. A light foot step attracted his attention. He turned and saw his sister, IClsie, step into the room. “Why, IClsie, what is the matter? I thought you went to your room a long while ago.” “I did,” she answered, quietly, “and I have been sitting there thinking. 1 knew you were in here, and I believe you are troubled about college more than ever, since mamma died,” Frank dropped his head silently. He did not suspect that she knew what he was thinking about. Hut she had observed a strange sadness in her brother’s manner, and she thought that Frank’s old ambition to graduate from Lawrence ’oliege was the cause of it. IClsie crossed the room to the place where he stood and looking up into the face of the brother twelve years her senior, she continued as she took his hand in both of hers, “Frank. I am only a little girl, but I think I have a plan that will v� m • 148 CAMPUS VIEW help you out. First, I want to ask if you could get the tenant to take care of the farm?” ‘•Why, yes, I supjmse I could,” replied Frank, “hut why do you ask?” He gazed into her face, wondering what she had planned out for him. Well, then,” she went on, I think we can all go to Lawrence, and you can finish your course. You and Harold can both go to school and I will keep house.” Hut,” protested Frank when he had recovered somewhat from tin surprise caused by her suggestion, “That would be too hard for you, Elsie. It is not right that we should both be in school while you do the work for us. I can not allow my little sister to sacrifice so much for me. Would it be any harder, Frank, than keeping house here on the farm?” asked Elsie. And then you will not be in college very long, only two terms, and after they are past, 1 can go to school. Please, Frank, don’t say no. Don’t you see it will all come out right that way, and I want you to finish your course so you can do more for yourself, and then if you choose to, you can be of greater help to Harold and me.' Tears stood in Frank’s eyes as he saw how much in earnest his little sister was. He knew that a negative answer would disappoint her. Was t possible for his hopes to he realized at last? lie knew that the tenant would care for the farm. His brother and sister would 1h with him. There was nothing to hinder Elsie’s plan. Finally he said. I believe we can go,” and early in January, after the necessary arrangements were made they did go. This story shall not tell of their life at school. It shall not tell of the meeting of Frank and Nellie at commence ment time. It shall only say further that Frank Nelson graduated with honor, that he is now principal of a high school in a county adjoining his own, that the brother and loyal sister are preparing for college through his efforts, and that Nellie is his wife. 160 CAMPUS SCENE. WALK FACING TIIlRl) AVKNl'E ALONG COLLEGE, TO THE WHITE AND GREEN. Here’s to the white and the green, To iho ocean's sheen that’s caught in the green, And (lie color that's gleaned from tlie hills, From the brilliant tints where the sunlight glints, On the grass the dew-wine tills, And here's to the white that caught its light, From the stars of the Milky Wav, From the Swan's soft breast and the wave's white crest And the sails on the sunlit bay. The bond between the White and the (ireen, Is perfect as lily and stem, May it e’er be strong and last as long, As the stars in the boundless realm. 162 EXPERIENCE OF A MARSHALL BOY. “Well, what on earth, young man? Have you found a gold mine mil West, or—. Why are you really going away?” exclaimed tin old gentleman, as his young assistant, Jack Lester, rushed into the ollice and began hastily to arrange his desk. “Yes sir. Really going. My only aunt has just died and I am her sole heir. And don't you forget I am going to be on the spot when the will is read. And now, sir, here is my key, you know the rest. Goodbye, sir; and good luck.” And Jack was gone. “That's a good boy,” mused the old lawyer, “and I am glad such luck has befallen him. If he would only settle down and stop this club and hotel living I would be happy.” Young Lester caught the first train out and by eleven o'clock he was in ITiceville, the little town in which his aunt had lived. Calling at the attorney's ollice he found that personage at lunch. “I’ll just walk around and view my property, and, by-the by, I wonder if aunt Mahala still had that old highboy she had when I was a boy. That was a pretty old thing and I mean to have it.” Cpon reaching the house he found the door unlocked and heard some one talking. Stepping softly into the hall, he stopped to listen, for as the voice came from the dining room he could easily hear all that was being said. “Helen I intend to tight to the last. Miss Mahala always said 1 was to have it and although it is not so written in the will 1 know she meant what she said.” “But, Kathleen dear, what is the use of all this worry? Perhaps the young man will gladly give it to you and in- 163 deed he ought after all you have done for Miss Mahala. Just Ik patient dear and you shall have your highboy.” •1 bet lie is a tall, scientific looking person, red hair, glasses, and as stubborn as any mule and because it is not written in the will, he will laugh at me and carry my highboy away,” and Kathleen burst into tears. “Kiglit and wrong, my dear young lady,” said Jack to himself, as he silently stepped back through the door and went to a nearby cafe, for the excitement had worn oil’ and he was feeling very hungry. In the afternoon, he again visited the attorney's oilice. This time he was more successful and after an interview of about fifteen minutes, he again started towards the old house, lie looked all around, at the grounds, the house, its furniture and especially at the old highboy that was to play such a prominent part in his future. Everything was in good condition, and with a parting look at the beloved piece of furniture, he left, saying to himself, “I don’t wear glasses and my hair is not red, Miss Kathleen, but I will be us stubborn us any mule in this case, at least. He sauntered down the street to the telegraph oilice, and sent a message to his old friend, the lawyer, telling of his sab arrival, and so far his good luck. Then going to his room, he lit his pipe and settled down to think of what he should do with his newly gained wealth. All afternoon he sat there, but whether he should keep the old place or sell it was still the problem of his mind, when lie went down to supper. “I'll just take another look and sleep in it, he mused, and started for his aunt's house again. I pon reaching the place, to his surprise, he found a tearful young lady sitting on the hall steps, gazing at the highboy. “Pardon me, but I am Jack lister, and have come to claim my possessions,” and at that particular moment he looked as if he wished everything in the house belonged to him. 154 “Strange that our names should ho the same, I am Kathleen Lester. Miss Mahala and I were the very best of friends and we had a right to be for you see our names are the same and we always said there must be some relationship. Since she is dead I suppose I have no right liere now, but—well— you and I must come to an understanding, and now is as well as any time. Miss Mahala always promised me this highboy and although it is not so mentioned in the will, 1 know she intended that 1 should have it but of course that is left to vour generosity.” and the young lady burst into tears. -Those black eyes are worth the sacrifice, but no, 1 may regret it,” thought Jack as he stood looking at the odd chest of drawers standing on its four claws like some great monster, and then turning to the anxious Kathleen, he was as cold as any of his sex as he answered, “The highboy is mine and I intend to keep it.” At this, Kathleen again began sobbing, and what young man is there who can withstand a flood of tears, especially from such black eyes as Kathleen claimed. Hut Jack was determined to stand his ground. -Take any other piece of furniture or an entire suit if you like,” said he, “hut I will not give up my highboy.” “And I prefer no other hut my highboy. Miss Mahala intended I should have it and I will have no other.” Jack softened. A new expression came into his eyes. Peep in his heart he really did not care so much for the old relic, hut he was determined to win. He stood looking down at ihe dark bead and suddenly—lie decided. -Tell you what you do,” he began abruptly. “You won’t give up, neither will I. Suppose we compromise. Do you want it real, real much?” -So much that I would do anything to get what really belongs to me.” “Good!” Ilis voice took on a strange tenderness. “Then little girl, suppose you take us both. Will you dear?” ••Is that the only condition?” -The only one. Please, dear one, take us both.” 155 Kathleen thought. Would she regret the step? It was a dangerous one. Hut his blue eyes were so full of innocence and at that moment so full of tender passion, that she almost decided. She looked at (he highboy, and decided that she wanted the old relic very much; but did she want this tall, handsome boy by her? Another look at the big blue eyes and something in them decided the question for her. “I will,” she said, “just to get my highboy.” They had been married a month when one evening Jack brought forth two papers. “Let us write on these just why we married each other. If you married me for the old relic, write “highboy,” if because you. loved me then, write “you. I will do the same.” Kathleen agreed. With his arm around his wife, Jack opened the papers. On the one was written “highboy,” on the other “you.” 186 GLEANINGS FROM THE GRIDIRON. This is supposed to lx an essay; an essay is a composition devoted to a dignified and important subject. What could lie more dignified or more important than foot ball? By some it is deemed even more important than Latin, Greek, Geometry, Chemistry, and the finer arts. One of the greatest gridiron heroes has said that football is more important than love. He sums it up thus,—“If love interferes with foot ball, give up love.” Evidently this man has been disappointed in love, but if you look at the matter in a cool, logical manner, you can see that foot ball is the more important. The first of all our heroes of the fall campaign, is Gap-tain Summers Sharp, left tackle, and considered by critics to be one of the best in the state. Cap’ll Sharp, as all know, is not a fat man; the fact is, he is rather lean, but he is so powerful in his shoulders that after each down at Cincinnati, bis opponent had to pause to wipe the blood from some fresh wound in his anatomy, and be it known, his opponent was the man Yeardley, of W. V. U. fame. The Cap’n was the particular star at “Cincy.” Time after time he charged through the line like an angry bull, blocking punts and tearing up interferences, llis address to the players before the game reminded us very much of the address Hannibal made to his troops when lie stood on the summit of the Alps overlooking the valley of the Po. This is an extract from the Cap'n’s speech; ••We ai e now facing the hardest proposition of the season, yet one of the easiest if we play together. Give us team work boys, for your own glory and for the glory of the old school, and we will give these Buck-eyes such a drubbing that after the game they will sing that beautiful song -Show me the Way to go Home!” Is it any wonder the Marshall boys played G. G. a tie game? Cap’n Sharp has proven himself every inch a foot ball player, a good leader, and on � who at all times kept the good will of his players. No one ever heard him speak a cross 1 7 word to any perspiring candidate who was doing his best, even if that were not much. May success follow our Cap’ll in all his undertakings and he may rest assured that he has the best wishes of those who have had the honor of playing on his team. Next to be mentioned is Mr. John L. Hawley one of the best full backs Marshall has produced. “Gentleman John distinguished himself at “Ciney” by his great defensive work. There is no reason why he should not distinguish himself in all the games he may ever play, if the remark a girl made at “Ciney” has any significance. As Hawley threw a gigantic player back for a loss, this remark was heard on the side lines; “Did you see that big fellow make that play? Isn’t In grand? Isn't he just too splendid for anything? He ought to play foot ball, though, for he looks just like Charlie. Who “Charlie” is. is very uncertain, but he must have been the gentleman of her choice. In the Morris Harvey game his line plunging was magnificent. They could no more slop his onslaughts than a wire fence can stop a bolt of lightning. When in practice, if Hawley kicked a man on the shin he always said, “I beg your pardon,” and for this reason was called by his team-males “Gentleman John.” This is his last year in Marshall College. He has made a reputation on the gridiron that will ever be remembered by his fellow students. We next introduce to those who are not acquainted with him (and those are few) Mr. George Winters Sharp, right tackle and hero of the Georgetown and Portsmouth games. In the Portsmouth game he broke through the line so often that two burly fellows were appointed to take care of him. This worked conversly, and after each down one could see these appointees stretched on the ground struggling for breath and equilibrium. George is a noted kicker. Not one in a figurative sense, as we call those individuals who are everlastingly opposing measures in society and in class meetings. Such kickers were never known to possess the courage to kick a pigskin. His kicking has always l een against the oval 186 shaped leather and every one knows how accurately he can do this, especially at a critical moment, when, for the sake of victory the ball must sail between the goal-posts. Mr. Arthur H. Koontz,—good natured Artie, as he was affectionately dubbed by his team mates — covered himself with mud and glory” at “Cincy.” The man in front of him was not heard calling Artie good natured, for when Artie got him going—that was when the game started—he battered him so unmercifully the man concluded that if he had any pity, he must be reserving it for a future game. At Ashland lie received a sprained ankle but it was not known until after the game when he was seen limping off the field. He is a fellow who never complains nor says give up. Koontz is one of the few all-around foot ball men in school; good in the line or in the back field. In the Thanksgiving game he, at center, put up one of the best games ever played for Marshall. W henever the ball was down he was there on duty with a word of encouragement to the man who had carried it. Next year we shall hear what Koontz of the W. V. I’, will do. Every one has heard of Shelton. Every one has seen Shelton play and know him to be one of tin finest quarter backs in the South, lie is as fast on his feet as an express train and he has every requisite of a foot ball player. He does not know what fear is in a foot ball game. When he starts to tackle a man his team mates always sympathize with the victim, for there is likely to 1m a man deceased. At “Cincy and Georgetown, he played a star; with Morris Harvey he made a ninety yard dash for a touch-down. All Shelton’s friends will watch his foot ball record next year with interest, and are sure to receive gratifying reports of his good work. When the squad began practicing some one remarked that Grass could not play foot ball, and it was not necessary for him to come out. Hut Frank liked to punt the ball and for this reason came out on the field in his togs. To get him on the field was simply the preface to a successful football record. One, acquainted with foot ball men, observing Frank’s ir 9 actions and stability could easily see in him elements of a foot ball player of great ability. The “Cap'll saw Frank was good and he was soon initiated into the mysteries of the back field. To the surprise of himself and even his friends he developed into one of the best, if not the best half hack Marshall has ever had. In the Morris Harvey game he did excellent work on the offense, especially his skin tackle runs which were the prime cause of our victory. Time and again when the third down was called and a big gain to make, Grass was called and seldom failed to make the required gain—plus. Morris Harvey brought with them a splendid punter, but when the critical part of the game came, where both teams through punting attempted to get the advantage, he went to swinging shins with Grass, only to be embarrassed at his own insignificance in the contest. No one did more brilliant work than he, and no man will be missed more as a result of the coming commencement than Frank 10d Grass. J. Hen. Robinson did not have the opportunity to demonstrate his ability on the field owing to a severe attack of illness wieli kept him confined to his room the main part of the season. Many remember what he did last year—his first in school. This year in the Morris Harvey game he was there “with the goods until the last whistle blew, and was largely responsible for the successful “skin-tackle plays around right end, his interference being excellent. Robinson is next year's captain and that speaks for itself. It is the highest honor a foot ball team can bestow on one of its members. rharlie Wheat, who played such a fine game with Georgetown and Ashland, is small but worthy of mention. He is not afraid to tackle the best of ’em, and has been known to throw back men twice his weight. He distinguished himself in all the games in which he participated, and is sure to make good another year. No matter how hard he fell, he always came up smiling and from this got the name of “Smiling Charlie.” 100 Xow comes a young man who undoubtedly has as good foot ball material in him as any fellow who ever tucked an oval under his arm for Marshall. This knight of the pig-skin took part in but one game, but his work in practice showed that he was as fearless as a lion and when it came to tackling —well, when he tackled a “moleskin jersey” there was usually a crackling noise that sounded much like some one would have to turn in for repairs. This young man is Lester Morrow, known to his team mates as “Mogul.” The “Cap’ll” often bragged on “Mogul,” and when the “Cap’ll” throws bonnets, there must be something doing in the foot ball line. Morrow is not one of M.-U.’s foot ball giants, but rather on the order of Miles Standish, “though small, a mighty man in strength.” When he goes to Michigan to take a course in engineering, we will hear what Morrow has accomplished playing end. Under such a man as Yost, it is difficult to predict what he will achieve. We wish him success in football. in building street car lines, and in experimenting in chemistry, but he must never again mistake 11 ’ I for 112 () and pour it on a class mate’s clothes. A young man came in late this term and when asked if lie were going to play foot ball, answered, “I shall try.” Try he 1 id and kept on trying until he developed into one of the greatest line men we have had. Powerful in arms and shoulders, Harper proved his tremendous strength at Ashland, where he was a star. In the Thanksgiving game his opponent said he was the fiercest man he had ever faced. We believe the line heartily agrees, for when “eight” was called, (that’s the play through Harper) there was always a road wide enough to admit the back field abreast. At Ashland he put three men out of commission, and has since been called “Ajax” for his feats of strength. Harper will be back next year—look out. Who hasn't heard of “Pat.” “Pat” is short for Patterson, left guard and hero many times over. In the Ashland game the line plunging was done through him until the latter part of the game, when he was knocked out. “Pat” has been 161 a regular fur two years and to say lie is a fine player speaks lamely of liis worth. Dave (Sarred, right end, took part in all flu iinjKirtant games. His star game was with Portsmouth, in which he did noble work. David, like David of old, is a fearless player, and great success is sure lo follow his undertakings. Mr. Curtis, like his famous brother who was captain of fhis year's Michigan team, is a Hercules in strength. He is one of those hard working fellows—first on the field and the last to leave. He took part in the Ashland game, acquitting himself admirably. Just before the game In said to ft by slander, “How much does Ashland's center weigh?” “One hundred and ninety-five,’' was the response . Curtis paled, but not from fear. It was the result of sudden determination to do or die. Curtis is called “Happy” because of his always being in a good humor. There are other men who played more or less who deserve to he mentioned. Broadwater and Morris proved themselves to be strong men and are sure to make good. Although the squad loses seven men fhis year, namely, the two Sharps, Koontz, Hawley, Crass, Morrow, and Broadwater, ye! there is every prospect for an excellent team next year. Kobinson at the helm will pilot the team through as successfully as did Sharp, and that is saying much. Those who leave Marshall this year will watch with intense interest the record made by next year's team, and may their efforts be crowned with success. WHY '07 SUCCEEDS. We have from the first had two good ltodes, and the surrounding scenes have been pleasant, for we can always see the Lee with the Tufts of tall Grass and the Broadwater where the Bred grows and which oilers an opportunity to Wade. For the convenience of those who Deem it best to ride we have always at hand a Smith to whom the lame pony may he taken to get his Shumate-d. If any of our farmer members have Wheat for sale we keep a Milter, and always offer one Brier, and for transporting the grain a Carter’s services may be engaged. For our flower lovers we Foster the Lilly and the Canterbury bell which flourish the whole season through. To those of literary taste who prefer the drama, we offer “Shakespeare” and for the lovers of poetry, we have an edition of Bryant. Our household has had the l st of management for we have a Sharp though not an unjust Stewart. We have no cares for the future, for we know l uit we have a bright Marrow. 103 GOOD OLD SATURDAY NIGHT. (Tune: Good Old Summer Time.) There's n time in each week, With the boys we may speak, Good old Saturday night. Few handsome boys, many “jakes,” And the hall maidens make A good old Saturday night. When your day’s work is past, Oh then night comes at last. And life is so lovely and bright, No trouble annoying, Each one enjoying, A good old Saturday night. CHORUS. On a good old Saturday night, When brightly shines the moon, We girls all come down stairs To talk, to walk, and “spoon.” And if you see us holding hands, Then you can very well tell It won’t be many minutes till The matron will ring the bell. 104 FANCY’S VISION IN THE RAVINE. Tt winds around the sandy knoll, Through grassy slopes of velvet green; And fancy sees its waters roll Through narrow curves to things unseen. By day, a clear, cerulean blue, Is painted in the waters bright; Its threadlike windings seem a clew To lands o'er flowed with beauty’s light. By night, across the way, I dream Are brighter, happier minis than this, The smiling moon with silvery beams, Makes glad each life with Hoods of bliss. T look, I long, then flee away To tilings with toil and sorrow bought; If followed fancies lead to fame,— Now duty calls to things unsought. But when from worries I am free, To this ravine shall I retreat, And listening to its rippling glee. Will cease to wish a greater feat. I'll see within its waters pure, A happy life, no more a dream; Itesolving fancy no more endure, And never long for things unseen. ifiu LIBRARY. THE FACULTY IN RHYME. “A” is for all of them, learned and wise, Whose knowledge is greater than physical size. 11 ’s for Buchanan, tlie teacher of Math, Stands also for Burgess who Geography hath. “C” is for Corbly, our principal here, Whose wishes and plans we always revere. Also for Cummings the Normals’ best friend, For she often to them much courage doth lend. For Caldwell also who stands in the list, And who on good order is known to insist. And for Crumrine also, who in piano is great, And who with the others ranks as “first rate.” ‘D” 's for discouragement, disorder and “dear,” But that never happens the faculty here. “H” is for Everett of the “parley voos” art, Gifted of head as well as of heart. “F” is for Franklin, a great and good man, You’d better take German if you possibly can. And Ford in Civics is often heard speak, 11 is voice is not known to be at all weak. He conies in for Athletic fame, In helping our boys to win every game. “G” is for good, what they all are at heart, And in our success play a very great part. “H” is for Hackney, I he teacher of Trig, And when you get through you feel mighty big. And also for Hayes, of musical fame, If you haven't met her, just count it a shame. i« “I” is a letter of which we are shy, And so we are going to let is pass by. “J” is for Johnson, the teacher of Greek, The finest class officer of whom we can speak. “K” is for Koehler, the teacher in voice, Which culture you want, so just take your choice. “L” ’s for the Largents, number two although one, If you don’t know your English, you'd better them shun. “M” is for Myers, the librarian dear, You had better not whisper if you think she. is near. Also for Meredith, who keeps study hall, And is an artist in ways of scaring us all. McClintock and Myers each play a good part, The first with the how, the latter in art. “N” is for no one of whom we can think, And so we just call it the one missing link. “()”’s for the optimists who as of old, Utilize the doughnut instead of the hole. “P, Q, K, S, and T” are odd letters you see, And so we decided to just leave them be. “U” and “Y” have been somewhat neglected of late, By ihe regents who open our faculty gate. ‘‘W” is for White, who from New England hails, And the work in expression has hoisted its sails. For Williamson, too, who knows all by heart, The several maneuvers in which Dido took part. “X, Y, and are in number but three, We are anxiously waiting to see who they will he. 169 FROM THE SENIORS.

W hen we were Preps We el imbed the steps With wonderful quick pace; And when the year Was drawing near Each one was at his place. As Freshies fair The class was (here. And very few were; lost To say the words, I should have spurred 'Fore I was backward tossed.” As Sophomores We took the floors, And never left at all; Till it was said, “You are ahead,” The judge’s honest call. And from our hooks We cast no looks, Till we were sure we knew, That we could tell Our lessons well, And best of all, be true. And in each class They gave a pass, For all we knew and more; Hut as for that We shall not chat, As we have done before. And we played ball As do most all The best teams of a school; For, “We must win If we begin,” lias always been our rule. 173 We won each game And ’twas a shame To take tlie silver cup; Hut we were there With some to spare, When scores were counted up. Hiit now we stand With our right hand Upon the Junior staff; We’ll hold it tight At such a height, That all the stars will laugh. High in the air Our banner fair, We shall forever wave. It will not fall, Oh, not at all! If we are always brave. A class we’ve stood Since our childhood, Through tempest, rain, and snow; But where shall we In future be, Remains for us to know. We all shall strive To keep a live, Within our hearts and minds; That we should reach The topmost beach. And not be left behind. In future we Shall ever be Loyal and true and bold; To white and green, As will be seen, And also white and gold. 174 MARSHALL COLLEGE NKW WILDING. (Fronting 16tli Street.) A MIDNIGHT SPREAD.

V are now in the midst of the days of roller skating, of the days when broken arms and sprained ankles are n In mode, when black and blue spots mark the creature of fashion. In the burning heat of summer, when one would rather die than to sit quietly at home in the house in a well aired room, when it is too hot to live, we rush oil by hundreds (shall we say thousands?) to join the perspiring throng in the strenuous but joyous exercise of roller skating. As winter approaches, the madness grows on one. Why should one skate one’s self into a healthful glow, breathing fresh bracing air, if two or three hundred can crowd together in a stuffy room and tumble about on roller skates? The diagnosis of individual cases of roller skate madness vary. It usually begins in this wise. The girls are uninterested but at the eager solicitation of others, they go to the rink. The effect is like that of the proverbial first drink. At first with fear and trembling, they cling to the wall, or if blest with ardent admirers, they strike out boldly, supported by the arms of these gallant gentlemen. In the latter case, both girl and admirer are soon sprawling on the floor, but they pick themselves up thankful if their bones are not broken, but uncomplainingly if they are. The girls go home nursing their bruises, and intoxicated with the delight of roller skating. I don’t know how it begins with the boys, whether the madness is in the air, or whether it is catching, like measles—anyway, most of them have caught it now. and is doesn't make any difference how they did it. It is too late for pre-vent a lives we must look for cures. A mild form of this madness, is a desire to sit and watch others skate, but this isn't very lasting, for they begin to want to do it themselves. It is easy for even the uninitiated to understand that there is a certain interest in this, to see people stand on their heads, slide on their noses, collide violently with others, (saying things, sometimes), turning somersaults most unexpectedly, and doing all sorts of acrobatic iso stunts—to set; all this for fifteen cents is truly getting your money's worth. Among younger i cople this milder form usually develops into roller skate mania, but in the case of fathers and mothers, the phase we have just described, very often continues without change. It might be of interest to us to study some of the ejects of this disease upon students. Of course, a roller skater is always, to a degree, maimed, but the injury to one's personal appearance, is the least important result. One noteworthy effect, is extreme financial embarrassment. Those who frequent the skating rink, must sometimes actually suffer for hot chocolates and candy. The confirmed roller skater who goes every evening, is usually sleeping in class—sometimes with unfortunate results. It is sometimes possible to spot the roller skater by studying the teacher’s grade-book. Skat ing every evening, and sometimes in the afternoon too, does not count for hundreds. These are but a few effects, which we might name. From these we may gather the symptoms of the disease, roller skat-itis, scratched faces, sprained ankles, broken arms, torn clothes, black and blue spots, scarcity of funds, and low grades. If you know such a one and fear the contagion, beware! One of the worst features of the disease is that its victims do not wish to be cured. They try to expose all their friends to the contagion; they joy in their madness. If Puck could return to this workaday world, he would again murmur with renewed fervor, ‘“Lord, what fools these mortals be!” and then he would hasten back to fairyland at the utmost speed, and order the carpenters to build him a roller skating rink, and would order the shoe maker, whoever that may be, to make for him the best of fairy roller skates. 181 BASE-BALL 190 6. The ims base-hall team was organized early in the Spring term of 190(5. Soon after (lie organization of the ‘OS's, the Seniors, Juniors, and Freshmen, perfected organizations. Fach team was scheduled to play two games with each of the other teams, and the team that won the greatest number of games, was to he awarded the Davis silver cup. Karl ilkinson was chosen captain, and J. It. Robinson, manager of the 'OS's. These two men soon had the ball players lined up and ready for battle. The line up on the infield, was as follows; Wilkinson, catcher; Moore, pitcher; I lively, first base; Flaw, second; Robinson, short stop, and Wheat, third. The outfield was, Orotty, right field; Dodson, center, and Mace, left. With this line up, the 'OS’s won every game they played that season. During tin first part of the season, the ‘08’s had the poorest out-look of any team on the field. Nothing was more conducive to the success of the team, than the very fact that she had the strongest battery in school. Many were the remarks made all with the one import that the team was one of weaklings, and only needed to come forth to be crushed. But Wilkinson behind the bat, and Moore in the box, had a sufficient amount of nerve to counter balance all possessed by the opposing force. Time and again the attempt was made to rattle” the hoys and get.them going, but Moore carried a smile that could not be effaced, m matter how much the opposing rooters jeered. Many were struck out by his strong arm and accurate control, and many were played out by the excellent support given by the infield. It was often said by tin other class, that had if not been tor Wilkinsons engineering” skill, we would have been defeated. Tine, W ilkinson lias a head, and truer still, lie used it. Our batting record surpassed every other in school, with Robinson in the lead, closely seconded by 11 Rely, Moore, and ICfaw. In all respects and all points, the team was superior to any other in the contest. After a strict classification of 182 the students, it was found that tlie Hbvs must lose some of their best players. Hut where one was lost, another stronger would arise, and at the end of the season, under the good training of Captain Wilkinson, and Manager Robinson, the OS ball-team, Pheonix-like, had arisen from her own ruin; Minerva like, had come forth full grown, and the Davis cup which seemed so far distant at first, was now safe within her portals.
