View of Campus Back of College Hall FOREWORD After a long laboratory period in our secluded “den”, fostering the infantile growth of our publication, we have at last essayed to come forth and publish our secrets to the wide world. Not in extreme confidence, nor with vain hoast or egotism, but trusting that this slight record of your school days, may find a treasured place on your book shelves, we are placing our work for your inspection. Hint from against us any assumption to fame or honor, for if such had been our aim we would have waited for more and wiser years. Since the object of our work is not that of greed or gain, and the pleasure derived is not that of the “making”, we have placed all delights in chronicling the annals of our Junior days With sorrow for any violation of good taste, by our horrible use of English, we humbly confess our faults, yet hoping that our work will in some way please you. If such be the case, well and good; if not. wc shall regard your disappointment no less than our failure. To flic city of Huntington, the home of our school, with its l)oundlcss possibilities both in resources and citizenship, so remarkable in its growth, by the prosperity of which, we in some degree measure our own success, we, in appreciation of the liberality of its business and professional men, gratefully dedicate this lxx k.

Hebron, and which was used for both school and church purposes. A two story brick building with four rooms was erected, the lot was fenced and a good well was dng. Messrs. Peek and Shepherd were the first teachers to occupy the Academy, which was named .Marshall Academy, in honor of Chief Justice John Marshall of the Supreme Court of the I'nitcd States. After the Civil War closed Judge James 11. Ferguson, a member of the Legislature from Cabell County. projx)sed that if the county would pay off the indebtedness of the property and transfer the same to the State, he would see that the building and grounds were enlarged and improved and that a normal school was established thereon. 'Phis projxjsition was accepted by the county, and the State by statute made it The State Normal School, and provided that it should l c governed by a Hoard of Regents. In 1 S(� i� the regents procured the services of Prof. R. S. Thompson of Pennsylvania as principal. Other sections of the State immediately wanted Normal Schools, claiming that Marshall College was not centrally located. To accommodate these demands for State Normal Schools, brandies of Marshall College, were established at Fairmont, West Liberty, Glcnvillc, Shcpherdstown, and Concord. Prof. Thompson served until 1871 when lie was succeeded by Prof. Powell, of Ashland, Kentucky, who remained but one year. He 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. Heau-champ Clark, now the distinguished Speaker of the House from Missouri, was chosen as first assistant. Hut the field of ! olitics had a greater charm for Mr. Clark than the school room, and 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. Tliaxton in 1X81 ; Prof. Tliax-ton by Prof. W. J. Kenney, of Point Pleasant, in 1HSI; Prof. Kenney by Thos. 1%. Hodges, of Morgantown, in isx ;. Mr. Hodges resigned in 1890 to accept the chair of Physics in the State University, and was succeeded by I.. J.

Mary la one of the most modest and dearest girls in school. She comes from Chester II. S.. where she graduated Inst year, and Instead of going to a nearer school in another state she wisely decided to attend Marshall. She is popular with all those who have the pleasure of knowing her. She has especially captivated several of the male hearts of M. C. She Iik s anything in the literary line from reading classics to writing notes to her friends in tin- Knglish class. She would be very useful at a card game, as she can keep Talley” well. CAROLYN LUCILK WILKINSON Huntington, V. Va. This dashing, vivacious, independent, gloriously healthy creature emerged from the smoke of Grafton last fall. Since then she has tormented Dave by her presence in the halls and Mac’s heart with her charms. Her conversational powers are most marvelous: occasionally the listener breathes. Intellectually she is brilliant, for Trig, is her strong point. In French she engages Mr. Ilurlln in animated discussions about previous concerts, etc., and eventually disgusts or delights the little Monsieur. Carrie adores everybody and everybody adores Cad.” This interesting young person has the promise of a brilliant future career. Wherever she goes, whatever she does, Carrie will succeed for she itosscsscs that rare power to do what she wills. LUCY CALLAWAY Huntington, W. Va. Why Is Lucy taking the Normal course? Does she expect to teach school and continue to look upon the young men as though they were cukes of ice? No, that is not to be the case always. She is much more interested in the department of Domestic Science than any of the subjects given in Marshall. Wonder why? Why. simply because she has become Interested in a certain prosperous farmer in Monroe County, who is at present taking an Agricultural course at W. V. U. When he has completed this course it may be that Lucy will make a more practical use of the said course which interests her so. Page 22 VAI. CI-AKK MAIIOOI) Oak llill. V. Va. The work of this member of Marshall’s greatest class is not to be judged by the noise she makes, yet when occasion demands. as in Senior Knglish. her voice can be heard distinctly in all parts of the study hall. All are agreed that she adds much to the good looks of the Class, as well as to the high standard of its work. MKLIIA ANN HOGKItS Charleston, V. Va. This young lady looks to the business world as the scene of her future labors. She has not decided whether to locate in her home county, or in that of “Taylor.” We sometimes believe that she favors the latter. Re that as it may, we are sure her sterling qualities will bring her success wherever she goes. I I.I.A ETHKL KICKKTT .Mercer's Bottom, V. Va. Little Willie, as she is called by her best friends, is one of those dear quiet girls who thinks more than she speaks, yet she occasionally delights us with genuine wit and humor. Of ail the studies in the normal course she is most interested in Domestic Science and Agriculture; not because she expects to teach only those subjects hut—suppose we ask her. Page 23 CHLETTK ALICE I.A ll.A It HE SKteisville. V. X'a. THACY CYItlS LILLY Hluelichl. V. A'n. Mr. Lilly is a type of student widely different from the average. It can not be said that he has any special love for school books and class-room work. But, this Is no sign that he can not master whatever he undertakes: for he has a mind that grasps more from observation, than many book-worms get from study. Lilly Is a man who knows the world; he knows, moreover, what It takes to succeed In the world, and his tact will carry him farther than many a good student’s knowledge. No one is more sincere than he and the loss of a class friend affects him deeply. This Jolly, buxom maid emigrated from Belgium when she was eight years of age. Hence she Is as proficient in French as in English, which accomplishment served to good purpose in tin- French play during the Carnival. She is fond of writing interesting notes In her mother tongue, which puzzle the less proficient French students. She Is especially interested in the early history of our state and the pioneers. She thinks Boone was the bravest of these, judging from his descendants. (JAIt.XRTTE E. FI LES Huntington, V. X’a. C.arnottc is a refined, dignified. Senior girl, who has very high Ideals. In the four years that she has been with us. she lias not found among her many admirers, a man worthy of her charms. Her friends are iuelinod to think that some worthy one will come from the West on June 12. and we shall not see nor hear of her any more. Her future occupation will be managing a man who is manager oi a western farm. Page 24 IIELKX CL AltKK Huntington, V. Vn. If you desire a curly-headed, blue-eyed, young, impetuous damsel for a friend, here she is. It is impossible to lind in Marshall a more whimsical person. Although she tries to appear dign'fied and solemn as befitting a Senior, she is at times afflicted with spells of Freshman behavior. This we quite excuse, since she Is only sweet sixteen. She is particularly fond of French, corresponding with young men only in that language. It is impossible, however, to tell where her heart Is. as her chief aim in life is to keep as many as possible in suspense. Some times her heart is Steele.” YKKXA V. DASSON VILLE Spring Creek, V. Ya. A demure, quiet little maid—to all but her most intimate friends—seems this studious young lady. The Krosophian Literary Society and the Y. W. C. A. are both greatly strengthened by her loyal presence, and her influence for good is silently felt wherever she is known. The Lewisburg Seminary once boasted of her attendance, but we are all glad she changed her mind. Oh, lucky characteristic of woman.! LULU McKISSOX Sistersville. V. Yn. Here is another one of our many loyal Erosophians, and the one upon whom rests the honor of being the essayist in the Inter-Society Contest. She is one of our best students and most dignified Seniors. The poet must have been thinking of her when he said: None knew thee but to love thee, Nor named thee but to praise. Page 25 GLADYS HANSIlAItGKIl IVterstown. W. V'a. Miss Hansharger comes to us from Monroe County and cannot be excelled as a student. Lessons are only play for her and whatever be the task undertaken It is always mastered. .Miss llansbarger is a favorite among both Kiris and boys, a fact which is proved by her popularity at every social function. By her sweet disposition and winning ways we rather think she has found (?) her way into some one's heart; for listen: No one is privileged to talk in the library today but Miss llansbarger.” She is one of the earnest and willing workers of the K. L. S. Thoughtless of beauty she's beauty’s self.” .MAltGAUKT YllUil.MA LKK West Mil fold. W. Vn. Here is a beautiful girl, with a pretty name and a wonderful voice. She is extremely capable, inasmuch as she is completing two courses at once—the (Expression and the Normal courses. She is a loyal Brosophian and that society is relying upon her for the victory in reading in the Inter-Society Contest. Margaret is very fond of sports, especially Bowling.” KDITH LILLIAN DAM IE Hinton, W. Ya. Who does not know this charming black-eyed maiden whose brilliant and convincing talk on “Attendance and Punctuality” caused all the Seniors to wonder? She is a most industrious student. always on time to breakfast and to class. While other girls are having a good time she is poring over her Domestic Science notes memorizing a recipe for making Fudge, which is her favorite. Page 26 01,1 VK MAXWKLI, (‘hosier, V. Vn. This fascinating, pleasing-to-look-at person comes to us from way up on tin Ohio, at Chester, whence she lloated down one day in early September. She is sensible but she is still in for all the fun going. She is very l'ond of attending ball games, especially those out of town. She is not at all sad from having been given a “Lemon.” We think, however, it must have been a sweet one. She is very loyal to Marshall but is also interested slightly (?) in Muskingum, besides in dancing and swimming, in both of which sin is proficient. Olive is most interested in the boys, and has found a few in Marshall whom she thinks attractive, at times even the “unprocurable.” (M IK KATHKKIXK PAINTER Itoseville, V. Vn. Ocie Is one of our very best and most popular girls in the dormitory. She is president of our Y. W. C. A. and many of the girls can remember when they were new girls , how she made them feel at home by her happy smile and good-natured greetings. She is a member of the 1 1 Kappa Phi. F. F. F. Club, and the E. L. S. and no social gathering is complete without her. Ocie is a good student and likes all of her studies, but Psychology is her favorite because she is very much interested in the study of “Will.” JKAX KLIZAItKTII McftMIlK Lewisbiug. V. Vn. In Our Jean” is found one of the most popular girls of the dormitory. She is a true Erosophian. for, if any one speaks of this society in a tone of which she does not approve, her brown eyes Hash lire. She is always witty enough to have an answer for every one. especially when she is reproved for smiling aloud! Never was Jean known to fail in this kind of tussle.

Yet she always went willingly and smilinglyf?). Olive is a welcome and invaluable addition to any organization or society and she treasures dear to her heart the E. L. S.. B. CL C. Sorority, and the Deutsche tiesellschaft. She Is also very fond of History, or one part at least, where is found the presidency of Johnson.' Now who would have thought ibis of such a timid, backward child? Flo” comes to us from one of the best counties of all. Tyler, and from the greatest town on earth. Friendly. She has decided opinions of her own and is. never afraid to express them. That site Is a Jolly, good-natured, all-around, lovable girl Is proven by her popularity among the students and at dorm, receptions. Although Flo” never was known to conic to Art class with her lesson prepared, wc know she has been benefited because her idea of beauty is so changed that now she prefers white roses and Law” to Barbe wire. If she could love less she would be happier. LI I.A SCIILOBOHM Woodlands, V. Ya. Lulu has taught school but no one would ever have thought It. for none of those professional mannerisms seem to have settled down upon her. Though she Is studious, a fun-loving sparkle is always lurking somewhere in the depths of those beautiful brown eyes which the girls and ------. O. well everybody raves about her. Page 28 AlthF.LLA WKKillT I-WKIIAH Huntington, V. 'a. Ambition has no rest. Miss Farrar was graduated with the •'tens” but desiring more knowledge and knowing she could he much benefited by joining the class, she enrolled last Fall term with us. Miss Farrar devoted the most of her time to Library and Domestic Science. The condition of “Rhodes adjoining certain farms In Kentucky lias given her a great desire to become an ideal farmer’s wife sometime. JKTKK AI.IFF St. Albans. V. Vn. You can tell its Jeter by his continual grin. If Jeter ever had the blues. no one knows It l unless, perhaps, his unfortunate room-mate) for he is always singularly happy and care-free. Next to his grin, he is noted for his double A grades, which are innumerable. Some people say Jeter is bashful, but we have failed to find him so. The best authorities on him have given us proof that Jeter's affections shift every week. So beware! He is very fickle, do not take him seriously, girls. IITIIIIL IU RDKTT I’t. Pleasant, Y. Ya. Kthel came to us this year from the I . P. H. S.. and the class as a whole feels that she is a welcome addition. It is true that she is rather quiet, and some say she has been disappointed in love, but this is a mistake, for when you get acquainted with her, she is really jolly. Page 29 IIAZHI. I’OFF Minefield, V. Vn. One of Minefield’s best looking girls: lives in the dorm. She is very dear but at times is very sarcastic. She is quite fond of being a participant in every exciting dorm, adventure. Being exceedingly fond of fresh air and coasting, she has developed a ravenous appetite which can only be satisfied by a Fowl-er some delicious (?) “Hump-diddle-dee . WARD K. (JAMMLK New Martinsville, W. Vn. Although we have had but one year's acquaintance with Mr. Gamble, he has made an extraordinary impression for himself in this time. When we talk to him we feel that we are talking to a “man” who has a character pure and profound —an individual with a purpose and with the courage to meet the world squarely with an open eye. It is needless to say that h's school work is just as well done as is the extensive work which he does in the organizations of the school. IIAKOI.D DODDS WHIBLDOX Huntington, W. Va. Harold is one of the boys who can always be relied on to do that which is entrusted to him and do it well, lie is a Senior, of the true blue type. He has solved an all-important problem necessary to success in this life, that of being able to adapt one's self to all requirements and situations. Harold is not the sort of fellow to take the extremes of any subject, but is conservative, weighing well what he has to consider, before giving his opinion. Of all the students in this school there is no one whose judgment carries more weight than that of Mr. Whleldon. Page 39 1.1 1.1 ANN GWIXX ('liai'leston, W. Va. “She has a strange affection— She is called a sensible girl.” Miss Gwinn Is an earnest and diligent worker in the Y. V. C. A. as well as a hard student. We are told she is so fond of her work that she scarcely takes time to eat or sleep. Her retiring bell is always the same the Preceptress. XKI.LK KKYSKIt Itowcn, V. Ya. Kelle’s being treasurer of the Senior class is enough to Introduce her as one possessing their entire confidence, and well does she merit that honor. She is of a sweet retiring disposition and always does her work well. Xelle Is a Normal student. Hers is the spirit of success and by this we know that she will be equally successful In ruling minds as she has been in ruling hearts. Although she says that she is not a candidate for matrimony.” she adds the amendment that she never intends to be an old maid.” .IOSKIMI SMITH GAKKKTT Wayne, V. Vi . School life would be ever so dull were It not for some of our schoolmates whose very presence takes the rough edge away from our work. Smith possesses such care-dispelling qualities, and for this very reason, above all others, he is endeared to us. Though he seems to derive pleasure from all things, there is one thing that causes his ever-present smile to approach Its limit. If you desire to tlnd out. just mention the word Virginia” in his presence. Joseph Smith is not a Mormon as his name might suggest, but a loyal Virginian. % Page 31 vi:i:x m. k Kor in:v Sbdrrsvllle, W. Vn. Verna in one of those students, who having tried the State I'niversity. decided that she would rather be in Marshall. You know Wise people change their minds.” She is a good student and has had much experience in the h'ghcr classics. having become more proficient in Homer. She is careful in her conduct while in school and seldom breaks a rule, not even walking in the halls at inopportune times, though she is often with the Hall. Verna showed her skill in the French language during the Carnival, where she acted one of the leading parts in the French play. She is well liked by every one. JOSKI’IIK.VK II ICICI KT SMITH Parkersburg W. Vn. Height was her face with smiles. And words of welcome and gladness . Josephene, or Smithy as she is best known among her friends, comes to us from the Parkersburg High School; and has proved herself one of the best and strongest member of the Senior class.

He is the president of the A. A., and right halfback of last year's varsity foot-hall team, where ho played a star game.

Ralph' used to live in West Huntington hut he soon saw he would have to get In closer touch with the college. The last place lie moved to was Sixteenth Street, where he soon got the inspiration of a College sport, consequently he has been sporting a fair Dame since. We were surprised at tills modest young gent at first, lmt after considering his surroundings we could easily see why he had made such a great change. MARY FROItKXCK HAWAII Yelk. W. V«. If you are looking for goodness and true worth, you will find it here in the person of Mary. She it is. who is always ready to gather up the new girls, the timid girls, and—shall we say the lazy girls, and take them with her on Sunday morning. Neither autumn’s rain nor winter’s chill furnishes sufficient reason for absence, in her estimation. A good woman is a treasure. Page 33 t llAKM)TTK LKK TAFT Huntington, V. Va. It Is always a pleasure to have our friends say that we appear as individuals of merit, of relined manners, and. above all else, of beautiful character. Miss Taft may feel such pleasure, when she reads this, for though we have not been permitted to enjoy closer relations with her than those of the class-room, we feel that these are her attributes. As to the young lady's popularity and as to her high-standing in the school, there is but one statement worthy of her that she is an attractive young lady and a good student. CH.AHLKS V. I’KIUa SOX Wayne, V. Vn. A poet once said, “My mind to me a kingdom Is. So might Charles Ferguson declare. Indeed. I will wager my class-pin that no student at Marshall can make a fifteen minute talk on so many different subjects as he. Call on Caesar” any time you please and you will hear an outburst of oratory as though he had known for weeks before that yon were going to call upon him for a speech on that particular subject. Ferguson bolds ollices without rest, is an exceptional student in tin class-room, and thinks of tin young ladies while he sleeps—by chance when awake, if Miss Smith comes In sight. ICKX It. II HUSKY (•iiyandotte, W. Vn. Rex. where can we find your equal as a student? Hard work and remarkable talent have united in elevating Rex, to the first rank of students in this school. Ills Latin and Creek translations are as nearly perfect as could be conceived. His circle of friends is large and h s heart still larger. He can number his friends by the legions and h s honors are innumerable. In view of what he has done, we predict for him a brilliant success in whatever he chooses for Ids vocation in life. Page 34 AXXA AM KM A WEBER Roncevertc, W. Va. Amelia Anne, as she Is best known among all the Seniors, has sparkling eyes, wit and humor, which makes her | opu!ar both with boys and girls. But “believe me” her power as a brilliant conversationalist is best shown at dorm teas or receptions or possibly at her beloved Krosophian Literary Society. Her favorite diversion during school hours, when she is not cutting class Is writing a series of notes and letters entitled. “My Trip Around the World With Bob. Her classmates are looking forward with pleasure to the publication of these in book form after revision and correction from the real trip. .MVKTIliLI WATTERS Huntington. W. Vn. Young ladies who have the gift and grit to he human—to be jolly and happy, as well as serious and loyal—are not so common as some think. Miss Watters is a young lady possessing these rare qualities in a striking degree. She is a worthy student, a beautiful girl in every sense, and one of that type which goes farthest in making school days sweet and pleasant for all. CLYDE II. MILLER I'nion, W. Vn. If we were to designate the three young men in Marshall College whose character and general abilities appeal most strongly to us. Clyde Miller would lx- one of them. Tills is a broad statement, but it has not been rashly made, it is true. Of course, such a young man is one of the best students of the school, and one who has broad vis'ons of life. But let us add this one sentence, which is the grandest attribute to any Intellectual man— HE IS A FAFLTLKSS FRIEND. Page 35 SARA AARON Itlucflehl, W. Va. JOHN 1)1 FARMRR Bolt. W. Va. No bettor example of a typical Marshall College man can be found than John. In athletics, he excels, also In his studies; and with the Kiris in fact, he is in a class by himself, lie lias held the most honored oliices in school and was ne'er found wantinK. We know that we will hear of his doing something great for his State and country in the future. Sara is the all-gifted one. Whether she sings, recites, leads the games at a ••Dorm” reception, or gives her seminary, she :s always equal to the occasion. Though she is destined to be a brilliant social light, that pensive look in her deep brown eyes at which we are sometimes amazed, betrays a profound interest in nature which she manifests in a close study of the life history of the Foxes.” AhVCK ARKMjK Mllil.KIt Oak llill, V. Va. Fayette county lias always been well represented in Marshall College and this fair maiden, is not one among the least of its many representatives. We wonder why she has not a smile in this picture, because in real life she almost always wears one, oven when major themes and examinations are at hand. But she has no cause for worrying about these things for her work is always up to the highest standard. In that little head she bears Such a wondrous stock of knowledge That you do not treed to hear the half To know she'd been to college.” Page 36 IICS. MATII-: RLOSSKR RARKIt Huntington. V. Vn. Thin modest little lady is one of the few ■■.Madams’ who has the honor of graduating from Marshall College. Having attended this institution for three spring and winter terms, she has waited during this time for a class to suit her with which to graduate. She has certainly shown her wisdom in choosing the class of 1J� 12. She is tin mother of three little tots, who attend the model school, and of whom we speak with pride as “Our Senior Children. Mrs. Haber has attained her present position by her grit and strong determination and great ambition. and she certainly deserves all the future good luck and happiness which may befall her. ( vtiikium: lloise williams New Martinsville, W. Vfl. If there is one thing Klolse Is noted for more than another it is her abundant tresses. To those who do not know her name she is “that girl with the long hair.” She gives one the appearance of being iuite dignified, and it is only her best friends who have found out the contrary. Croat is their surprise, therefore, when first they hear her tell a funny story or Joke anyone, in which capacity she is certainly quite proficient. She hails from New Martinsville, having graduated in the Magnolia II. S. there. IIA LI,11! HARPER llcckley, W. Yu. Here is one whom we are all certainly proud to claim as a classmate. Hallic is one of our brightest and smartest girls. Resides pleasing her schoolmates with her intellectual powers, sin is also the delight of her teachers. She has a perfect disposition and a pleasing voice which facts she proved to us recently in the F. F. F. entertainment. Ilallie is not very fond of our mountain State but we think It is because she has lived in the West all her life, and that when she has been here longer she will think even Kansas Inferior to West Virginia. Hut there seems to be some suspicions of her returning westward soon to live. In such ease we would miss her. 1 w I Tage 37 WELLINGTON YATES Huntington, Y. Ya. There are a few students in school who are getting a fair education in both of two schools—the world and the college. Mr. Yates is this type of student. He never misses a show, a foot-ball game, or a tournament at the pool room; while, ou the other hand he makes very creditable grades in his school work. He is. therefore just the sort of fellow needed when something Is to be done that requires a knowledge of. and experience with people in general. Mr. Yates is a conservative friend, a loyal student, and a man with abilities that predict not only success but also friends for him. NANNIE AGNES TEMPLE Huntington. V. Vn. This tiny Senior edition was published by H. II. School in 1911. It appeared in Marshall in the Fall of that year and since then has been much liked. One would not guess, looking into her great, dreaming eyes that she is quite lull of life and fun. Her clever sketches, once seen, are not soon forgotten. She is preparing to be a teacher, yet no one can scarcely imagine that. For who can tell what those eyes dream? VIRGINIA SUE PETERS llani, W. Vn. This pleasant countenance belongs to one of tile most popular girls in the Dormitory. Her popularity is such as to place her in a dilemma when a lecture, reception. and tea follow in close succession. Of course, she's loyal to Marshall, but— well, she manifests considerable interest in one of the other Normal Schools of the state; in fact, lias been seen wearing a 1912 pin. not bearing the letter M. C. Doth tin- Senior and Junior classes have a claim on her. and the Juniors, who must yield their rights, are surrendering to their elders one of the truest gems of womanhood that ever trod the paths of Juniorism. She has been of special aid to the Hook Board. Page 38 ItKRTHA A. TAYLOR Huntington, W. Ya. Miss Taylor is one of the most quiet and reserved of our Seniors. She is never ostentatious about her work, hut she always does it in a way that brings praise from her teachers and reflects credit on herself. She is well liked by everybody, always making friends but never an enemy. GRAOK MeLAUOHLIX Hinton, V. Vn. Here is one of Marshall's jolllest girls. Where there is fun, there look for Grace. To know her is to love her. We call her our Sunny Jim. Grace is successful in everything she undertakes, so we predict a brilliant future for her as a teacher, or shall .we say in domestic science? Behind those grey eyes is hidden a wonderful power of knowledge. Though not (‘specially fond of languages, she manages to spend considerable time with Faust, from which she derives much pleasure. GAKVIiTTK FKItKIS Huntington, Y. Vn. Garnette is one of those American Beauties for which our class is truly renowned. Her great expressive eyes see and take in everything except some of the 'killing' poses made by the young men for her special benefit. Her manner is that of a queen, her loveliness that of an angel. 1’age 31 ANNA ROIKiKItS lilucflcld. W. Ya. Has anybody here seen Anna? Which Anna? Why. little Anna, of course. Although Anna is small of stature she is very big-hearted and broad-minded. She can account for anything under discussion by the laws of psychology, which is her favorite study. Her decisions are always final. Another thing for which Anna is known is her love for ltluelield. but this is not unusual since it seems to be an instinct with all the representatives of the coalfields metropolis. MARY MARTHA GRANT Ruvcnswood, Y. Ya. Mary graduated from Ravensxvood High School in 1911 and came to us as an honorable representative of that place. Always cheerful and revealing sunshine and contentment in her face she dispels gloom. As a loyal Senior she adds much that is noble and good to the class. Who likes fun more than .Mary? Letter-writing and feasts are her delight. No one would consider her a coquette, yet she sometimes has mysterious dreams. Mary is quite a scientist; recently she has been making a study of frogs and toads. She is a member of the Hroso-phi n Literary Society and the F. F. F. Girls' Club. SCHI YI.KII ROL'SKY Huntington. W. Ya. Here is a Senior who can always be depended on for strong solid work. In selecting an Old Guard” for the Senior Class to drive tlio work along with sledge hammer blows, Rousey, with his build and disposition would likely bo chosen. The stalwart oak does not spring up in a few months' time, but wrestles with the blasts for a hundred years, thus developing the durable wood, so useful to man. Rousey is learning a lesson from the oak. and when be gets through school we expect to find the durable material developed by these years of training. Page 10 MONAD ATKINSON BISHOP Spencer, V. Vn. Hero is seen one of the youngest brightest, and most amiable of the M. C. girls. Her sunny smile, sweet disposition. and winning ways have captivated the hearts of us all. Whatever she undertakes Is well done, whether class room work or that of the various organizations of which she is a member. Judging by a recent performance in Die Deutsche Cesellsehaft,” it might be supposed that her grcatt st interest is in the department of expression; however, this is a mistake. It is in American History, and she makes a special study of some(?) of the leaders in the Civil War. WILLIAM STKICK1.1 J Huntington, W. Yu. Quite frequently one meets in tfie halls a hypnotizing person. You cannot at first deline his hypnotic power. At length, when your neck is quite sore from stargazing. you realize, much to your relief, that it is due to the width of his smile and the length of his body. This is ”11111. Preceding him is a black and white Lyon whom you see now for the first time. Said Lyon protects Bill from the onslaughts of the girls. This is quite unnecessary for the creature, unaware, stalks dreamily on. Ho is not, however, as adamantine as he Mema; for, during January he was 84« n to elevate his eyebrows, arouse from his trance, and give vicious kicks about the dorm” rules. As a basket-ball center. Bill has no equal. To the stranger his voice is a delightful surprise. Yet you like Bill, not for these accomplishments alone, but simply because he’s Bill. LKO.NAItl) F. LKK Riivonswootl, V. Vn. Among the new Seniors who entered Marshall College last Fall with a noble pedigree and a thinking mind, was Mr. Lee. He is a young man who has abilities in the Held of thought that many of his fellow students have never suspected. It is only when in the room of a friend or when in company with two or three on the street corner that he gives one a rail chance to measure him; then we have been startled by the depth of his thought, which moves us silently on as the underground stream. Page 41 . mn: kili.ingswoktii Marlinion. Y. Vn. This handsome young man of sixteen summers or more can boast of more conquests among the fair-sex, titan could many a Beau Bruinmel In l is palmiest days. Ills coy eyes, smooth shaven face, dreamy looks, and softly spoken words, have spun webs of delightful enchantment around most of the fair co-eds in this school. If you could only look in on him at some dormitory reception, you would see him enthroned In state, the target of the eyes of all young ladles present, and an object of envy to those with-out. O Arden, who will be the happy one, whom you can have but with the asking? PM)YI M. COItN WELL Thornton, Y. Yn. .Mr. Cornwell is president of the Senior class; and this fact goes far in expressing what the school thinks of him. He has not only made good class grades, but he has also showed, like a few others, that good students are apt to have the brains required for the star in athletics. He is unquestionably the boat baseball pitcher seen on the Marshall diamond for several years, and Is by no means bad tili n' in the foot-ball line-up. Although he has been honored time and again by his fellow students, ho has never seemed swelled up. but always the same genuine, unassuming fellow,—under all circumstances showing line sense, and judgment. ■I JULIAN L. IIACJKX Huntington. Y. Ya. Sound conservative students are rare: hardly one student out of a hundred is calm and profound in his opinions. But it is simply a statement of facts, when we say that Julian is a sound, profound, thinking student. His opinion is never expressed until he has considered deeply; and his action is based upon reason, rather than upon impulse. It is not necessary to recall all of the tine records which he has made here in school, for everybody well knows that he made twelve AA's” last year; is a member and otliccr in nearly every organization about the school, and was Chosen by the V. L. S. as one of Us debaters to light one of Its hardest battles with the E. I . S. Page 42 I). IJIXI.W HAUSTKAI) lluiitiiiKtoii, V. Va. Life's radiant sun unobstructed, Lillian Is pleasant. The world upside down, as It were, making meditations ten times triple-night, she is yet capable of a smile. Holding still pleasant memories of former school days. Lillian is overcome by the invisible, inexpressible charm of the “little red school house. and anticipates a happy return, this time, however, in the capacity of teacher. In the knowledge of her qualifications we predict for her a brilliant career. GKOHGK MAItSIIALL LVOV Huntington, XV. Va. George is the all-round handy man of Marshall and the Senior class. We don't know what we would do without him. He is very obliging, and as a result is imposed upon by everyone to do this thing and that thing. He was especially useful during the Carnival. He is a loyal man to his State as well as to his school, still he Is quite loyal to X’irginla.” is familiar with the dormitory when dert” isn’t around. Ask him who Bert is. Strange to say, he won’t know. M Kit LA COOK Huntington, XV. Va. Miss Cook is a quiet and dignified young lady, who realizes the fact, much more than many of her classmates, that school is a place for study. She even enjoys any work she is given to do. She doesn’t seem to care for the opposlto sex. but it has boon whisiiercd around that there is one many miles away who has won her admiration, and we hardly think, by the sparkling gem she wears on her linger, that she will teach many years. Most sincerely do Merla’s classmates wish her a happy life. Page 43 I.Il). CATH Kill.NIC I 1.1.1 A M SON Huntington. V. Va. OSt Alt I . I.WI I.Kill Pcnnshuro, V.

We don t think he dislikes our girls at all. only he is so serious. |K rhaps he fears some fair maul's heart might become ensnared. Speaking of seriousness, it was due to this trail that Lambert recently made such a hit in the Carnival as Middleman of the Minstrels. His left eyebrow has a habit of doing acrobatic stunts over his forehead, and whenever he is surprised or in one of bis “devilish moods this changes to a very ferocious one. Although smaller than most people. I.Ida is not the least bit insignificant. Indeed she is quite the opposite, especially when any recitations ar - in progress, for she Is an excellent student. She is therefore a blessing to her teachers, especially to one who addresses her as Ma chore enfant.” She has a particular friend somewhere in Kentucky, but does not seem much inclined to tell about him; at any rate we know he is lucky in having her acquaintance. Lida is an enthusiastic member of the German club. LKSSIK I. A KIN SIIKKTS Huntington. V. Va. “Dear Me.” if this isn't Lcssie! Yes, she is dear, but when she is using that phrase on an average of three times every two minutes she does not mean any insinuations of this kind, for modesty is one of her chief characteristics. She is really one of our youngest looking classmates. l)iit not so. for when asked how long sin-had lived here, she said. “Oh, for dim ages. Dear Me. ever since I was horn”! Once upon a time, and since then, every once in a while(?) Lcssie lias mentioned Uuckhannon. It seems that there are particularly attractive people there, especially boys. Still Tubby is cute.

Site has as much fun as any girl in the dormitory and her clear musical laugh can be heard echoing and re-echoing from hall to hall. She is always ready to respond when called upon in class. At the ball games she Is always ready to “root” for the home team. Wonder why? NOR M A WII.I.KY Hinton. W. Va. Is there a more studious girl in school than Norma? If there he, we have never met her. She can repeat page after page of her Senior English notes without leaving out a single adjective or date, and can make out the distinctions between Conten-Ili8 Rousseau and Restaloz .i with perfect ease. She is so much interested in her work that even in conversation she naturally drifts to the subject of her studies. BENJAMIN IIAICIUKOX IIII.IMtliTII Triplett, W. Va. Here is a man who has a profound mind, who is really worth while. .Mr. Hildreth has been honored with ofllces time and again, though he is distinctly not a politician, lie is one of the few who rank high in class grades, above ail else, a man who uses his own head. You can’t lead Ben Hildreth, unless he secs the pearl himself which you profess to la; his reward. Ben is one of the very strongest Vrlginians. Page 45 5 GKOItGK lil'TIIKIt MOKROW 11 mu ingtnii. V.

His vim will always Ik? his host asset. We welcome him into our ranks and know that we are greatly profited by his work. ANNA KELLY BIBB Oak llill. W. Ya. Another Fayette county girl! Although she did not enter school until the beginning of the Winter term, she quickly won an enviable place for herself in the heart Of everyone. We are all overjoyed that she came to Marshall instead of going to I.ewisburg Seminary, where she was formerly a student. Her class work Is always of the best sort, and she creditably demonstrated her ability as a teacher one morning in History of Education. She is very quiet and reserved; and in the words of Jean Ingelow; They say she knew much that she never told. Page 47 gkorgk stam.fv imi Ki:i; I .dart. V. Va.

Modest, reserved, and shy. she pursues the pleasant path of learning with even course surrounded by many admiring friends. She is an Kroso-phian and sometimes thrills the halls with her clear ringing voice. She was in the chorus in the Creek play “Iphigcnia. This young lady is a bearer of optimism and Joy to her many friends of the Senior class. Her Irish wit and humor so quaint and droll make even Pat take off his hat and stroke his imagination. She is a model student in all her classes, and an excellent worker in many of the organizations of the school, having served as an able reporter for the Krosophian for two terms. She has an eye for art as was shown by her AA’‘ grade. Klt.MA TIIKI.M.t le( AW Hurricane, W. Va. Here is something entirely different from the rest.

Thomas Henry IjisUini � f tlir Sritiur (Class In September. 1008, a new class ship left the harbor of thoughtless, dependent existence for a voyage of four years around the world of book-lore and true culture which all worthy colleges must give in equal quantities. The sailors of this ship were raw, untrained youths, new to the school life; but their executive oflicers, Miss Johnson, and captain Mr. Koontz. piloted the craft in safely through the hazardous journeying and the many shoals of the lirst year's voyage. Nor can any one say that those Freshmen merely hold their own; for all know that they gave members to the first team in football, basketball, and baseball, also that they put forth the champion class team in baseball. In class-room work and in oratory they also excelled, ever easily keeping abreast, and often passing the ships whose sailors had much more experience. In the fall of 1909, we started on the second lap of our journey, well acquainted with its toils and tribulations, but ready to face them manfully that we might gain the prize at the end. Our commander for the Sophomore year was Clyde Miller. Under him we kept up our career of victory, increasing in size, holding up a higher standard of individual cfllclency, and learning to turn mistakes into lessons of success by committing them no more. Those Sophomore sailors, however, did not seek merely their own honor and advancement; but they also stood by the college which was fostering them, and were broad enough to overlook the petty failures of life and to have genuine pride in a nobly won success, even If It came to their opponents in a rival ship. Robert England was at the helm during the third part of our journey. One can not speak too well of the foresight and patient power which he displayed at all times. During that year we furnished more than half of the members of the Varsity eleven, three of the basketball team, and three of the li ne, besides fairly good class teams In both baseball and basketball. In our ranks were more really good orators than any one class ever before produced. One Junior could not have received better grades if he had wanted them. Not a single failure or disgrace marred the bright record of the class during the whole year. Now. we are on the last stage of our oyage. Our ship has left harbor for the last time and will keep on its wonderful journey until it places us in that port front which we shall have many opport uni ties of (limbing the mountains of honor and glory. The crow is composed of nearly all the old veterans and our exceedingly gre.it number of new recruits who have joined our ranks from other college worlds or from the ranks of our fellow classmen. This will bo by far the largest class ever graduated from old Marshall. The man who lias the task of leading us this year is Floyd Cornwell, under whom, judging from bis previous record, wo have no occasion to fear. it would be a bit of needless bragging and would do injustice to those who read the Mirabilia if one were to attempt a dc-scilption of class achievements for this year. The deeds bear witness for themselves. They fairly force one to the conclusion that the class of 1912 is the best all-round class that ever held its course in the face of those storms which Marshall’s wise teachers sometimes let loose. Therefore, after all things have been taken into consideration, there can he no doubt at sill that many of Its members will reach the heights which only great men attain. and, departing leave behind them footprints on the sands of time.” RKXFORI) It.

You see Alice is Puritanic in her choice of localities, nor has she failed to imbibe some of the finer qualities of the culture and character produced by that dogmatic creed. Because of those qualities we choose to call her the little Puritan maid. Though she may at times seem too Jolly ever to be serious, no one begrudges her that gaiety that smooths down the harsh places; and by closer acquaintance. you will find in this girl the foundations of true, gentle womanhood. However, her reputation for firmness rests alono on making and keeping conscientiously (?) so many (?) New Year's resolutions. LILA M. GOKKLEY ILirrLville, V. Ya.

This motley company was soon organized into a regiment with II. L. Benedict as leader, and hearing the motto. Always Ready. they won their first victory, when on Chapel day. the faculty recognized their importance and awarded them the highest seats in chapel, that is to say. in the most desirable location— the balcony. In this dignified | osition the I-M.5 regiment remained throughout the year, and waved the Yellow and White triumphantly ami so vigorously that the whole school opened its eyes, and stood aghast, murmuring in a low voice. What next ' ” They have played their part bravely on the football field and more than bravely in basketball, while above all, they have won the baseball and relay pennants with many other honors. It was in this manner that the success of the lftl.Ts continued, not a single person shirking his duty. When the year of our breaking in had closed and vacation had been spent at home on a furlough, the regiment returned to headquarters, where at the sounding of the trumpet all assembled and chose their next leader. John Ruck-man. the famous football player, who had :ust come into their ranks, bringing with him many laurels from other battle fields. This was a year spent in fighting victoriously many battles. Loud cheers went up again and again for the I'M 3 nun on the football field. In basketball thev could not lx- excelled. As witness of this fact they have the Myers cup which thev won in the winter term of mu. Though they had the slight reverse of falling to second place in baseball, they more than doubly recovered themselves md undid their undoers by bearing the honors, consisting of alwmt one hundred and twenty out of a jmssihle one hundred and fifty |x ints from the relay field. The achievements of the 13’s have been not only those of brawn and endurance on the Athletic field, which alone testify to their capacity for leadership through the equipment of a strong, healthy body but likewise they have held their standard high in the classroom. furthermore there is not an organization in school, in which at any time a representative of the 13’s could not lx. found working. Hearing in mind that strength and effort comes through effort, and perfection through practice, another year ended with most of the warriors well qualified for promotion to higher ranks. Again, at the sounding of the bugle, the class assembled and placed at their head one of Marshall’s A. men, Hugh Higgins, commonly called “Squire. under whose efficient leadership they have marched onward into the most successful year in their history. Never has there been in old M. C. a corps of young men and women who have worked more persistently and conscientiously at publishing the Mirahitia. It can easily be said without boasting, ami with due credit to others, that the Juniors are second to none in those essential tilings that go to bring credit to themselves and honor to their school. Though their ranks have Ixen wofully thinned by the vicissitudes of time and fortune, yet in the reduction of those ranks they have learned the difference between scatteratiou and concentration. The crying need of individual responsibility has raised practically all of our members above the danger line, and like Winkclrcid of old each one “feels as though himself were he on whose sole arm hangs victory.

Freshmen may also pay the rc-sjK'ctful attention due their elders. In the Fall term, of the year 1911, there appeared the greatest Sophomore class of which our alma mater has ever had the privilege to l oast. Nor did we simply Hare up like a rocket and then fade into oblivion, hut. unlike many of our predecessors, we are still shining. From the beginning, we were taken under the right wing of our patient ami lovable class officer. Miss I c Noon, ami later into the paternal care of our unanimously-elected President, Mr. Feeney. Now. as you will doubtless agree, we are being piloted to a fame which will surpass all previous records. Already we have influential members in all the literary societies and debating clubs, and. judging from recent reports, our class is holding its own in the recitation rooms. In Athletics our standard has not l ccii lowered, but rather raised, as we had four representatives on the first football team, two on the basketball team, and we expect to give at least four players to the baseball team this spring. As a class, we re proud of our athletes, girls as well as Inns, and we might add that we are also proud of our class as a class; and why shouldn't we be? When we were green insignificant Freshmen we eloped with all the honors in the Inter-Class Base Ball League. ( ur class roll was considerably swelled at the beginning of the Winter term. both by new arrivals and by many who came back to us from the Junior Class, disdaining to follow the haughty l.rs. when they could share the glory of our famous class by simply dropping back. As we have stated before wc are proud of our class and its history, not as it is written here, but as it really exists. We arc also proud of our colors, our motto, and our flower. But above all wc arc proudest of our dear old College. As nothing lies behind us but the knowledge of deeds well done and nothing but sunshine in the future, it is only natural for us to feel that wc shall make a mark, not only in College, but also in the world which will make our College proud of the fact that wc were once students within her walls, and whicu will mak .is proud to own that wc were armed for life's struggle there.

Pa c 74 � J FRESHMAN CLASS ft iFrrghman (Class ffiistory “Let every man be judged by his works. At the beginning of the school year 1912 when the old students were returning, exchanging greetings, and meeting friends the one exealmation on every tongue was, “I.xx k at the Freshmen !” They came from the hills, farms, villages, and towns of our mountain State by scores. This aggregation of energetic, intelligent, ruddy-faced students was taken in charge by Misses Colbert and Burgess, class officers, and under their skillful generalship was soon organized into the largest and best class that ever I tad been, and, if we were not optimistically inclined, we would say the best that ever will be in Marshall. The amazement of the old students and teacher as they viewed the determination and intelligence with which these Freshmen took up their work, and more yet at their achievements, both in and out of the class room, was great. Soon after the beginning of the Fall term, these Freshmen showed their superior knowledge of humanity by selecting the following corps of officers: President, R. O. Fowler, the greatest half-back and ladies’ favorite since Bob England; Vice President, Carl Park. whom everyone knows to lx an all-round g xxl fellow; Secretary, that fascinating, humorous personage known to all as Jane B. Hale; Treasurer. Sherman Ballard, that boy whose chief delight is in the study of I atin, ami who, when asked a question, is likely to lx:gin his answer with the conjugation of a Latin verb. Our lx ys have won sjxrcial honors on the gridiron as will lx seen upon recalling the line-up for the two elevens. The Freshmen were not without able representatives in basketball and they expect to have the banner class team in baseball since they have promising material. Nor have the records of the members of this class been go xI only in sjx rts and in the class-room, for they have displayed talent in social and literary work as well. They have chosen that road which leads through lalxir to success, and are putting into this work that centralization of power and determination of purpose which will result in the achievement of a worthy end. There’s Colbert and Burgess, Our chieftians, you know, Who teach us and lead us. To work and to grow, Till we feel we can t pay them The debt which wc owe.

In Marshall College this spirit of rivalry is seen in the literary societies more than elsewhere. When Marshall was still quite young, two sicieties were organized. These were the llvperion for young ladies and the Krosophian” for young men. However, little success being met with either MX'icty. since they were both small in numbers, they combined to form what was called the Virginian Literary Society. lint soon a duspute arose which ended in the withdrawal of a part of the members, who formed the present Krosophian Society. It was then that the high feeling of friendly rivalry arose which has since existed and which has caused a great growth and improvement in both societies. In I Hi io the Inter-Society Contest was instituted and for seven years all went well. During this time several contests were held in many of which the Virginians received high honors. However, in Hint trouble arose and this for a time put an end to the contests. Hut early in this year. 1012. the Virginians gave a challenge to the Krosophians for a contest consisting of a debate, an oration, an essay, and a declamation. The Virginians are confident of victory in the coming contest, ami how could they feel otherwise, since their very lx-st s|� eakcrs are going to take an active part and they have many extra good ones. Nothing has equalled the growth of the society during the winter term. It has Ix'en marvelous. The hall is crowded at every meeting ami at times it has been impossible to scat all those present. As much enthusiasm has been shown in taking part in the program as in attendance. Kxcellent programs are rendered, each member doing his part. Many of the speakers are eloquent and effective. Along with other musical and literary accomplishments, the society can lx ast of a good orchestra. Surely the Virginian Society is the best it has been in years, and, with the present outlook, will continue to grow in all rcsj ccts. Those students who wish to improve their literary abilities could do no better thing than to join it. CAKR1K WILKINSON. I listorian.

W e are of the opinion that the true history of the K. I.. S. begins in the earliest days of Marshall College; and that the Krosophian (as we know it) is the offspring produced after the transpiration of many processes of evolution. But early records l eing inaccessible. we can only note a few facts of comparatively recent date. At the instance of the principal, the students of Marshall, in order to promote the art of debating, public speaking, and oratory, to stimulate interest in literary study and to concentrate better the talent of the student body from co-o| erative pursuit of knowledge, established in I HIM two literary societies. These were the Hyperion for the young ladies, and the Krosophian” for the young men. Before the expiration of two years, it was seen that, for the same reason that the best results are derived from co-education, a consolidation of the two would more nearh answer the purpose f«� r which they were established. .Accordingly, in isiMi. the two. joining in matrimonial alliance, as it were, reached a happy stage, and adopted the aristocratic name of the Virginian Literary Society. The union was all but satisfactory, for Inrlore the nuptial feast was over. dissension arose. Dissatisfaction grew so bitter that within a year’s time separation was inevitable. And, just as she from whom the name came, lost what was destined to outrank her in strength, when the section of country west of the Xlleghenies adopted the name of West Virginia, the V. L. S. lost a mighty arm when in 18‘J? some of her stalwart mcml crs organized themselves into what is now the Krosophian Literary Society. Since her establishment, the K. L. S. has made her intluenee felt throughout Marshall College. In limn an annual Inter-Societv Contest was established. Kor several years this contest was one of the most interesting entertainments of Commencement week. nd although the Virginians in a few instances came out victorious, the Krosophians demonstrated their worth by scoring a great number of points. In limit a quarrel, arising from doubt as to the originality of a production in possession of otic of the Virginian contestants. resulted in the discontinuation of the contests, and the bringing about of an unfriendly feeling Ixrtwcen the societies. This feeling remained so strong, that, until this year, the contest could not Ik renewed. Xotv the societies, though swayed by a spirit of friendly rivalry, are working together harmoniously; and, at the middle of the spring term, they will again meet to try their fortune in contest. We are glad to see all matters of difference thrown aside, and the two societies, each stimulated by the other, assume a place of eminence in the scltool. This lias been one of the brightest years in the history of the E. L. S.: and calling up for consultation. in a reflective hour, all the prophetic signs, we arc led to believe that iH'tore her lives a great future. CLYDE II. MILLER. Historian Page 88 Page 89 II. ii .

No sooner had the decision Inren reached than the work of organization was l cgun. At first having no room in which to assemble, the meetings were held in private houses. In a short time the students were greatly inspired by the enthusiasm of the members atul it was decided to adopt a constitution and by-laws. A room being secured in the college building. the Ciceronian Debating Club began it life of usefulness, which has increased as the years have rolled by. The club continued to prosper from the very outset, and. no doubt, some of tbo Philippics, which were delivered and those which arc being delivered at the present time, would become classic, were they only preserved. The club is composed of twenty-five stalwart and brainy young men, who arc determined that it shall not l e a discredit to the fair name of the great Cicero. If you think it may be a discredit to the noble Roman orator, st- p into Number Tbirtv-oigbt Friday evenings at ? o’clock and lx convinced otherwise. You will have no sooner entered it- portals than you will lx so captivated by one of the many fluent and gifted orators, that you can do nothing but go with him where'er lie leads you.

Then Ik will lead you across the dark and stormy Atlantic and travel with you throughout the cold plains of the Orient. After this delightful journey, he will take you soaring on the wings of the Aurora Borealis, over the snowcapped |x aks of Greenland and Grin-nel’s Land, through the eternal sunshine of the south, and then after having circumnavigated the planet Mars, and all the other spherical liodics of t’ e celestial Heavens, he will bring you hack to the place of beginning, a wiser man fully convinced that oratory did not perish with Cicero. The Club was never more prosperous than at the present time, and is conceded l v all to he one of the lx t debating clubs in any institution in the State. We feel sure that we listen each Friday evening to men whose words will some dav thrill the world. C. C. CHAMBERS. Historian. Page % Pagc 97 CARNIVAL SCENE—IPH1GENIA Outlook Debating Club OFFICERS J.

Wc are living in an age. when a man must know how to think ami to express in words what lie thinks; for a great thought dies with the thinker, if not given to the world in the imperishable form of words. Recognizing the need of such trainin' , such as could be derived from a club com|x� scd of young men of the right sort, a group with abilities and far seeing wisdom, organized themselves into a debating club for the purjxjse of improving themselves along the lines of public shaking and oratory. The organization was christened the Senate Debating Club.” This momentous step in the develop ment of oratory in our school took place January 21, I IMS and has lieen of tremendous and far-reaching importance. because it has brought about a Renaissance in )ratory, that is begin ning to usher in the era in mcrica that will produce men of the type of Demosthenes. Cicero. IJurko, and W ebster. Contemporary with and formed prior to the Senate Debating Club, was the Excelsior Debating Club, which was working toward the same end. The membership of each was limited to twelve, and meetings were held once a week, at which general topics were discussed. each member being allowed to apjxrar on the floor once to discuss some subject assigned him. Since the purjxjse of the two chibs was a kindred one. and feeling that more could be accomplished if united than divided, The Excelsior Debating Club, always aspiring to something higher, as the name may signify and the Senate, ever wise and judicious, united and adopted the name of The (hit look Debating Club, January 28. 1910. The programmes which have given an amount of enjoyment and profit to the meml crs, were now made to consist of orations, debates, essays, current topics, and general discussions. It i here that so many of our budding Ciceroes have shaken off their air of hashfulncss and timidity in s|x ech and have liecomc Ixdd. forceful, and graceful sjH-akcrs. Since the time of its formal U-gin-ning, in the short space of two years, the Outlook Debating Club, has made a name for itself, equal to any in the school and second to none elsewhere. The foundation has been laid as firmly as any organization of its kind ever established. The hold that il has upon each and every one of its members is one that can not he haken otf. Though we may in later years he tossed about on life’s sea of trials and tribulations until we arc tired of all things living or dead, there will come the still small voice Outlook, that will steal away their sharpness ere wc are aware.” Considering all the pleasures and profits that wc have derived from our schooling, there has been no one thing that has contributed more toward those ends than tlu- Outlook Debating Club.

These groups were never large and would doubtless have aroused only a passing comment but for the extremely intellectual bearing of the individuals composing them. t last, however, early in Deccml cr. the mysterious atmosphere lK rvading these little groups was cleared by the announcement that a classical association had l� een formed, having for its object the promotion of classical education and culture. 'I'he Classical ssociation began with no assets except an enthusiastic mem hership and a dozen teacups: lint a suitable room was soon secured and at present. in addition to the necessary furniture. the classical room Ijoasts some very beautiful and appropriate decorations consisting of a reproduction of Diana ami the stag, and one of the Winged Victory: while an excellent copy of several sections of the Parthenon Frieze extends along the south side of the wall. The classical play has become an interesting feature of the carnival season, and some enthusiastic members have suggested that the proceeds from the I!• I - carnival be used to purchase a statue of Iphigcnia. All students who have completed a year of Greek or I.atin are eligible to mcmlK-Tsbip and the association is steady grow iug in number.

MALI.IF HAKI’FK. Historian. Page IOC I’afje 107 CORNER OF CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION ROOM iVlusic Department Some twelve or thirteen years ago after some desultory piano and voice teaching, It was decided that there should he a regular organised department of music, with the result that the Music Department of Marshall College was established. Several practice rooms and studios were built and lilted up on the third floor, with Miss Flora Hayes, graduate of the West Virginia fniversity, installed as teacher of piano and harmony, and Miss Fay as vocal instructor. It was not long before this experiment proved a decided success, and in the two short years that Miss Hayes remained at Marshall the music department was placed on a firm basis. The following year Bliss Flora B. Pope, of Mass., took charge of both the piano and voice pupils. Miss Fay having taken a years' leave of absence to enjoy her new estate of married bliss. Miss Pope stayed but the one year. Miss Itlioda Crumrine another graduate of the West Virginia University now taking the reins In her hands as teacher of piano and harmony, while Miss Fay, now become Mrs. Haworth, taking the voice pupils, a position which site has faithfully filled ever since. For four years the music department was carefully guided by Miss Crumrine, hut in 1907, wisely hoping to increase her usefulness she went abroad to pursue her musical studies, and Miss Hayes, who had also been studying In Kurope, came back for another two years. At the expiration of tills time Miss Crumrine made her way back to Marshall, but alas and alack, while still on her homeward trip. Cupid succeeded in piercing her with one of his darts. The upshot being that at the end of another year’s work she decided to change from music teaching to home making. and is now happily engaged in attending to the comforts of her husband. Mr. Wloda. In 1910 Miss Mildred Macgcorge. for three years pupil of Albert Jonas and Hugo Kaun of Berlin. Germany, succeeded Miss Crumrine as director of the department. Miss Helen Tufts (who had taught one year under Miss Crumrine) continued as assistant piano teacher and teacher of theory and history of music. Before very long it was found necessary to add another piano teacher to the corps, and Mrs. Wrna Shepherd was chosen. For violin Instruction, there have been three teachers at different times, namely Mrs. Bertha Roth Walburn. Mrs. Rose Frank McClintock and Mr. Waas. The present teacher, Mr. Waas, Is a man of large experience both In teaching and concert playing, and It is to he hoped that in the future many more of the Marshall College students (and we urge the young men espoeally) will take up the study of this fascinating instrument. The piano department has lately been materially improved in more than one way. To the visible eye, at the entrance to the studio, can be seen two handsome new doors, which effectually shut off from most of the college class-rooms the conglomerate sounds arising from the use of the many pianos. To the middle cau lie observed an improvement of far-reaching significance. The standard of the music department is gradually being raised, tin-course is becoming harder and graduates will, for a while, lie more conspicuous for their absence than their presence, but in a very short time this department will be known (as we believe it now nctually is) as the best of Its kind in the state of West Virginia. The courses offered in the music department are graded courses in IMano, Voice and Violin, and courses in Theory. Hai-tnony. and History and Music, besides a special teachers' course in piano. Page 108 601 MUSIC STUDIO ffitatunj uf the Art Oe artiueut The history of the Art Department is short ami unique. Kight years ago. on the twenty-third of March, the fotuulation of this tie Imminent was laid, without clay and without straw. The first years were sjhmu in clearing away the prejudices of tin unprogressive and in building a superstructure of ideas that would reach the different departments of the school, or that would Ik of benefit t � the greatest nmnher of citizens. It was our desire to have for a foundation a course in the arts that would increase the efficiency, accent the dignity, and add much to the weetttess of human life. The friends of thi- department were men and women who understood the needs, and who also possessed the ahilit) to work, and the faith to wait: and now in these days of l! Pi. we see much precious material going into this structure. Towers and turrets are springing up with polished surfaces that reflect the honest cn deavors of the different builders: the structure also has different arches through which the sons and daughters of all men may enter and enjoy the advantages thereof. K. K. MYKUS. Page 110 Ill 2 d ART STUDIO The Department of Expression Oh why should tin- IX-partment of Expression Ik proud.' A few facts will explain why. It has a thorough course of study. This has been established five years, part of the time as a two year course, now covering three years. It prepares for platform work, but the serious pur-jxise is the study of literature for interpretation. Probably the most valuable work done in the course is the scene work in Hamlet. Macbeth. The Taming of the Shrew, and As You Like It. The department is proud of it- graduates. Eleven have received diplomas. There will Ik- a graduating das- of three this year and the same mimlter next year. Graduation does not mean perfection or conclusion. In expression it means the knowledge of certain psychological and technical principle . Mastery of those principles and artistic expression of them only come after years of experience. In addition to those taking class work, which requires attendance an hour every day. there are always many s| ecial students enrolled, some entering for voice culture, others for oratory, physical culture, debate, etc. The Department is proud of it-studio. When the music studios were oj cned on the third lloor, the studio adjoining the auditorium was given to the disciples of elocution. It was furnished with the kind of table and chairs Rus-kin would have liked, and a- it has recently been re-pajK-red. it is delightfully cozy and inviting. . The Department is proud of its future. Proud of the hoys and girls who seek to improve themselves by a study of the sj okcn word. They are few in comparison to the great number who should b� taught the principle- of reading, hut some day all Marshall students will Ik-able to study reading without extra tuition. ritten words will become beautiful expressive idea- when spoken.

This season Marshall put on the ficdd the swiftest, the headiest bunch of players, that ever donned the Green and White. It was a team such as few of the High Schools can boast, second to none in West Virginia, unless, perhaps, the State University. To use a baseball phrase, they simply burnt up the league. Of all the College teams they met. West Virginia University. alone proved a match for them. They met and defeated all the schools of West Virginia, that Is all the schools that were in Marshall's class, and were the undisputed college champs of the tristate region. Many were the bonfires and “gowned parades' served up in honor of their doings on the diamond. Will any one who was a Marshall student, last spring term ever forget the big parade” upon the return of tin- boys from their Northern trip'.' That band, those torches, those gowned figures, those decorated autos, and above ail the team in its big motor van. will live in our memories forever. This team was one of Coach Chambers' real masterpieces. With the aid of Capt. Ollom and Mgr. Amos a nine that was a TKAM was fitted out. At Morgantown they more than covered themselves and their Alma Mater with glory. Why. for weeks the Marshall team was the sole topic of Athletics at the University. By Uuckhannon and Fairmont spectators they were considered the speediest, the headiest, and the hardest-hitting club of the season. Kverywhere they went they made a hit because of their good, clean, sportsmanlike manners. There were, in fact, no real individual stars on the team. They all worked together and formed one big star. They wore all real bull players, with an Inborn instinct to hit and run. Kadi player was In himself a pepper-box. Young, es-peclally kept the boys full of pep with Ills superb Hue. This lighting spirit that Coach Chambers so infused in them from liis own soul, is the thing that really made them such a 811001 88(11! team. As evidence of this, one has but to recall the day that we beat the “leaguers' In that ninth inning batting rally. The team as It played, was. Fiddler. C.: Cornwell and Amos, p.: Capt.

Everyone was so loyal to school, captain, coach, and team that no feat seemed impossible, no foe unconquerable. There was no Jealousy, hence tin wonderful, machine-like smoothness of their work. It would, indeed. In- hard to lind eleven men to equal them in courage. The odds were against them in the first throe games, but what does weight and brawn count against speed, Intelligence and courage? Truly this was a great team and its fame will last as long as the school. Review of Season. Marietta expecting a practice game, was painfully shocked to the extent of 6-0. It was the only team met during the season that used the open style of football, yet to no avail. Ohio I’nlvcrsity was lucky enough to get away with a f -0 victory. Marshall gained more ground but the “breaks were against her at the critical stages. This great contest at Athens. Ohio, was the fiercest struggle of the year. The lurk was bad enough with Ohio but at W. V. U.—It was awful! To lose state championship by missing goals from touch downs after carrying the ball ten times as far as the W. V. 1’ was very disappointing. However, this game was a revelation to the Morgantown people, as they never before had seen such speed and passing. Perhaps the luck will be with Marshall next year; we all hope so. Olenvllle was no match for Marshall and was lucky to hold the score to 32. How different from two years ago when the same schools tied at 0-0! Marshall scored her first victory over V. V. W. ( . 14-0. The wet Held held the score down. Wesleyan’s efforts to gain were pitiable as shown by the failure of their team to make llrst down. Georgetown, with one of the best teams in Kentucky, was defeated 50-0. The first quarter was all in their favor hut a veritable whirlwind « f touchdowns In the second quarter swept them off their feet.

Right End. was a fighter from the word ’go’ and after the Marietta game in which he was injured, he played brilliantly, setting a fin� example of sense and courage for his followers. The team could not have had a better leader for he was a hard worker and to him belongs a great share of the credit. This was his second year on the team and Marshall is indeed fortunate that he has one more year. Harry Young. ’13, Captain for 1912. stands head and shoulders above every other football player In the state. He scored more points himself than any player in any other school in the state. Very few football players were over as fast, and fewer still have possessed his keen insight and wonderful judgment. No gwnc was pinyetl Jn which his work was not tlie feature. This was his second year on the team. and. he more than any other one man. made the team what it was. as many plays would not have been successful without his speed. Cy” deserves the captaincy and we are indeed thankful for one year more of this speed merehnnt. His most noteworthy feat, and one probably never pulled off in a college game, was that of running from behind his own goal Hue for a touchdown in the Thanksgiving game. John Archer, '12. I.eft Tackle, was the huskiest of them all and a terror to all line plungers. Ills work was never par-tlcularly brilliant, but was always steady and su-e. He tore great holes in the line for his back Held and continually brought down the opposing backs behind their lino. This Is his second and last year at Marshall, and how wo shall miss hereafter his stonewall defense and lierco offense! Page 129 THE 1911 FOOT BALL TEAM. (Continued.) John Farmer, 12. 1-oft Guard was the most heady lineman on the team and his courage was something to marvel at. Handicapped by size, he more than evened up by quick thinking and agility. John is not a Chesterfield for grace off the field, but in battle he is the personification of all that makes a football player. For his persistence we honor him and for his brain we envy him. This is his third and last year for which great Is our sorrow. Oscar l.ambcrt, 12, Center, was the best center that the writer has ever seen in a small college. He was made for football and the Center | osition was made for him. He had no weakness on defense or ofTense and without him the team would have been lacking. He had more endurance than any other one and his confidence in himself and teammates inspired the others. He sized up the enemy's plays before they were started and continually broke them up. His work in the W. V. U. game was marvelous. This Is his second and last year and we hope that another center, at least half his equal, will be our good furtune in 1912. Floyd Cornwell, 12. Right Guard, was old reliable In every game. He combined the great strength of Archer and the rapid thinking apparatus of Farmer. He was very fast on his feet and a big. fast man is a terror to the opposition. He was the superior of all the guards he met and very, very few were the yards gained over him. On the offense, lie swept everything before him. thus giving his backs great opportunities for gains. He was the best working, best natured follow and a credit to his school. Since this is his third and last year here, there Is great rejoicing in Morgantown. Iluckhannon, and other towns which hope to get him next year. Howard Hrackman, 15, Right Tackle, was the line plunging demon. He was always good for from five to thirty yards, whether there was a hole in the line or not. He made holes. His touchdown on Thanksgiving day was one of the most spectacular plays of the year. During the last of the season, his offensive play was always a feature, while his tackling, like that of last year, was hard and sure. This was his second, but. thanks to fortune, not his last year. Clarence McVev, 13. Right End. was one of the strongest of defensive men. because of his fierce tackling. He was the most unfortunate of all and was injured repeatedly through his fearlessness and aggressiveness. He started at fullback, but was shifted to end for greater speed in the backfield. His nerve was wonderful, as shown by his sticking through the W. V. IT. game on courage alone. He had the honor of being the only first year man on the team, and will be with us in 1912. Robt. England. 12, Reft Halfback, was next to Young in scoring and his brilliant running and line plunging was a feature of every game. His best game, if there was a best game, was against W. V. IT., in which he scored two touchdowns and made many other long gains. His passing to Young was accurate and timely at all linn's. He was an expert at Interference und tackling. What he lacks in weight, he made up in s|K� ed and daring. Tills was his second and last year and the half who takes his place will always have something to look forward to, the equaling of Bob's great record. Clay Kendle. 15, Fullback, was the smallest fullback in the state, but the equal of any of them. He was the hardest man on the team to get off his feet, while his line plunging was ••real plunging. His speed matched that of other backs and his receiving of forward passes was a feature of every game. He had been a star at end for two yenrs and was Just ns successful at full. This was his third year and we are extremely fortunate to have him for 1912. Fred Ollom, '14. Right Halfback, is Inst and least, In size only, for he, indeed. was a star in every department. He pulled off so many spectacular stunts that Ills whole year’s work must be considered his greatest achievement. He, next to Lambert, was the ‘toughest , for It seemed Impossible to hurt him. Like Kendle and England he possessed every back field quality except weight. His handling of the ball was the best on the team, while his plunging and dodging was a hright spot in all contests. This was his second but not his last year. Sub . Ramsey, 14, and Feeney, 14, were backfield men of great ability and In the few opportunities, they had, showed wonderfully well. Callahan. 14 and H. I ani-bert, 14, showed marked ability in the line and with this year's experience will be able to take the place of the graduating linemen. Page 130 TRACY BAILEY Captain of 1912 Basket Ball Team.

C.” If their schedule had only been a larger one, they would have been one of the strongest bidders for the State Championship. Under gnat odds and nearly (insurmountable difficulties a Varsity’ Five was chosen. In the first place they had no floor on which to play, as the (Sym” had not yet been repaired; secondly. they did not have the support of the rooters that in previous years has so characterized the games. This was not due to any lark of Interest, for .Marshall was basketball crazy. but only to a lack of means of seating the spectators. Strickling. Archer, F. Hailey and Young, members of last year’s team, united In electing T. Hailey, also a member of last year's Varsity, to the captainship. With his help and that of Manager Strick-IIng. Coach Chambers set about to produce a basketball team worthy of Marshall's name. He did it, too. Chambers gave the call for volunteers to which about forty stars responded. It was in fact the most promising basketball squad ever known to Marshall. There were all kinds of forwards and guards with some excellent centers besides. Practice was called in the C. S. gymnasium of the Kelly Itulldiug where the following team was developed: Cupt. T. Halley and Young, forwards; Manager Strickling, center; and Callahan and F. Halley, guards. Archer. Fowler, and Foster were the 'traveling men. Hip Hill Stickling was the main stay of the team. Ills shooting and ail round playing were marvelous. Kasily the best shot on the team, his column of scores was always the fattest. For example at Charleston, he shot thirteen out of a possible fifteen fouls; in the Bethany game he scored more than half the points; and at Parkersburg he led the whole card in tallies. This was his third successive year with tho Marshall Varsity, each of which ho has played center, acting besides, last year us Captain and this year as Manager of tho team. He lias lost but three minutes of play all this time. Next Fall lie goes to the University of Virginia where we expect to hear of liis good showing in basket shooting.” Cy” Young, as always, proved to be one of the shining lights. He was a sure shot and his passing was nothing short of remarkable, while as a speed machine he was the fastest in the State. This is Cv's” se ond year on the Varsity basketball team. Capt. T. Hailey was the best floor man we saw in action during the whole year. Every game was featured by his cool, heady work, which, with his good shooting. counted always for a goodly number of baskets. Ho and Young worked together better than did ever any pair of forwards on a Marshall floor. Callahan, like all good guards, was fast and full of light. Always on his toes, lie never let the pep” cool. t passing, blocking, and carrying tho ball lie bad no superior. With F. Hailey as a helper be made guarding one of the features of the team. These men passed and shot like tiie whirlwind, shooting always to help the score. F. Hailey was the “young wonder , shooting as well its do most forwards. At passing lie was king, making a class for himself as an all-round guard. He never stopped lighting tor shooting either.) The following schedule was played: M. .42 Charleston 2; M.

In every way It was a great success, proving to he one of the special features of Commencement week. The committee on arrangement composed of George Lyon, chairman; Cy Young and Cecil Feeney—performed Us tusk in a creditable manner leaving noth ing undone that could in any way contribute to the success of the affair. The enthusiasm and interest shown at this meet both by the contestants and the spectators was so encouraging that this year we expect to have a regular “Varsity Track and Field team. A regular Track and Field schedule is being contemplated and arrangements have already been made for entering the Stale Meet to be held at lluckhannon In May. Much new and indeed promising material was brought to light by this meet. Archer, Wilson. MeVoy and Cush Chambers, all good men. mnde their debut. The prizes were again presented by the different merchants or Huntington. The Athletic Association offered a silver medal for the llrst all-round man and a bronze medal for the second. ’y Young captured the silver medal with 30 points, while Archer took the bronze modal with 21 points. McVcy and Wilson tying with 16 points each for third place and prize, a Stetson hat. Lyon, who. with lo points won fourth place ami received the “Big Green” ribbon, was followed by Cush Chambers who. with 14 points took fifth place receiving the Big Orange ribbon. These prizes and ribbons were presented by the Athletic Association. The filial class standing found the Sophs 13 In first place, the Juniors 12 second; while the Freshles 14 trailed in a slow third. The Sophs '13 again won the tutor-class relay race; their second successive victory in this event. McVcy, Wilson. Chambers and F. Bailey formed the 13's winning relay team. Lambert. T. Bailey, Lyon and Morrow represented the 12's, while Jttmsey, Keeser. Witten and I Lawrence ran for the '14's. The relay race proved to lie one of the most exciting features of the card. The '12 s won second place, the 1 t's finishing a close third. The time made hy all three teams was good. For the Sophs, Young and Archer were the strong men, they alone winning enough points to secure the pennant for the 13 class. Lyon was the mainstay for the Juniors, netting over half of their points. Lawrence was the best of the Fr sh-iea and won more than a third of their points. Young bent his record of the previous year in the f 0 yd., loo yd. and 220 yd. dashes. He still holds the record for the 440 yd. Not being contented with this work he succeeded In breaking the record in the running broad jump and tied with Cush Chambers in raising the running high jump record. Archer flung the hammer for a distance Hint will remain unequalled at Murshall for sometime. He also broke the record in standing broad and standing high jump. Lyon added six inches to his previous record In the pole vault. Wilson lowered the time in both the half and the mile run. The officials were Coach Chambers. W. Yales. R. Fiddler. J. It. Marcum, It. M. Wylie, J. Staley and W. Strlckllng, and to them the Athletic Association owes many thanks for their splendid supervision. Page 136 Why Do They Hate Us Little Mice? I've seen them make an awful face And on the sofa leap, When we from out our hidlnK place. Would take a little peep. I meant no rude Intrusion. Didn't think to start the house. Hut when I left my sweet seclusion. They screamed, A horrid mouse! 1 can't see how it's fair, And 1 hardly think It's nice. To wear rats in the hair. Yet llee from little mice. My heart with fear wag teeming. As I skipped across the floor. And that ugly lady's screaming. Helped to scare me all the more. Now, if a woman’s hungry, pray. And hunting for a meal. Would not her hunger flee away. If 1 should screech and squeal? If she scares at one glance, Then she should take some heed. And give me half a chance. To get the food I need.

Page 138 m i —� 8 Ol’K (SENIORS') CHRISTMAS PARTY The Carnival Carnival times are always great times around the old school, and where is the man, woman, bov or girl, who attended the big show this year, who is ready to say anything against it? The car- nival of last year was. we must say. a great success, but the one this year was simply a howling success. Its fame has spread all over West Virginia, and no doubt other schools will follow in our footsteps, in making the carnival a jicrmancnt institution in school life. That dear old college spirit, which was once absent—and we are sorry to say it—manifested itself this year as it has never done Ik fore. 0 W e were the talk of the town, we were the talk of the state, anil we hope to stretch our fame into other states for the glory and sup|x rt which is due us for the athletic spirit that we maintain. W ho could have thought of such a novel way of paying athletic debts but those who are so interested that they want to see their school compete with something more than high schools and schools of lower grade: and want to see it increase its power through this most necessary form of school activity? We must commend the shows put on this year. No |K rson, who saw them, can l cgnidge his money. Miss Johnson outdid herself in her presentation of Iphigcnia. And what of the minstrels? I'.vcry man who took part showed that he has the right kind of Ability—and what more need we say? Yes. we can say that the Carnival would not have Ix-en a success without this l opular show. Mr. thinker, in his presentation of After the Game”, showed plainly that he |x ssessed those natural gifts that are predominant in a great playwright. Mr. Ilurlin deserves great praise for his interest, he licing a new man in school. It is doubtful if any worked harder than he and the results of his careful training were manifest in his various entertainments. Miss Stevenson gave the public a taste of German comedy, and in no respect was the humor lacking. The show was enjoyed by all who witnessed it. The various booths placed here and there through the halls, gave the whole scene the as| cet of a carnival, and, together with the “felly went a long way in making the carnival successful. It is ho| cd that the carnival will lx-repeated next year, and with still more success than this year. It gives a space of recreation from school duties, lx-sides affording a means of entertainment both to ourselves and to outsiders. The selection of Ouecu was one of die most important duties of the carnival. and Miss Young no doubt feels highly honored in Ixing selected. W e hojx- that she may always lx- as popular as she wa at the carnival, and that this may not lx- her last triumph on the social side of her scluxil life. Page 140 JOBK AND BRACKMAN Here are two Marshall students, who. during the carnival, “pulled off so many thrilling, daring, and spectacular acrobatic stums that they were the talk of the students and the delight of the children. They deserve great honor for their acrobatic acting which did a great deal to make the carnival a success. Jobe's high dive over the crowd was so thrilling that it took some minutes for the sjxtctators to realize that neither the actors nor the spectators were hurt.

Page 148 My Brother Jim amidi Me I've koi a brother J!in. Ho ain't quite as big an me, bill I II JiihI tell you fellers that Jfin ami me have IiIkIi old times together. Hid I ever tell you fellers about llm and me Iiimi Fourth of July? I didn't? Well, here goes. then. Well, as I JiiMt said. It was last Fourth of July. Jim and me wanted to go to town and have a rippln good time like the rest of the fellers around here. Well, Jim and. me managed to scare up enough nerv« to go and consult Mu and Dad. bill I guess It must've insulted ’em. .list the very first word that slipjied out of my mug. Dud Jlst whirled around ou to us. nnd part nigh scan us out of our wits. He Jist bellered out like Dad alters does when he's hot and said. Here you good-for-nothln' little scamps you. Just walk right out there into the tool shed and get one of them ’ere cranenecked hoes apiece and Jiisi waltz yourselves out there in the corn Held, double quick now. and don't you dare straighten up your good-for-nothln' nieasley backs till I call you.’’ Well, by Hie time Dad was through with this rigmarole of stuff. Jim and me had our hoes and was raakln' for the Held like little scared rabbits, but then it was purty easy travclln’ for a while, for Dad managed to give us a purty smart of a helpin' boost, and the effects didn't stop hardly as quick as I could have. Jim and me worked there in that old hot sandy Held with the sun Jlst a boiling down on us. till I Jlst thought I would drop and, to make matters worse, I could hear the cannons and Hre-erack-ers a-rourln and crackin’ and all the rest of the fellers a hollerin' and shoutin' to beat hens rustling except Jim and me. And ail this time I’a set on the porch in a nice easy chair !n the cool shade nnd watched to see that Jim and me kept to our work accordin’ to instructions. Well. sir. Jim happened to peep out of the corner of his eye. and saw Dad a settln’ there uml all to onct he Jlst bellered out to singin' K very body Works but Father.” Dad Jumped clean out of his cheer and reached up under the head of the |Mirch and took down a big hickory whip about four feet long. Dad allers kept Vm bandy, he does. And he made a leap off the | orrh and out through the corn-field; he came ut breakneck speed. He grabbed Jim by the nupc of the neck and lifted him clean off the ground, and of all the laminins that ever you saw a kid get. Jim got It. I thought I was out of the scrape. I hadn't done said nothin', but all to onct. Dud let go of Jim and made a dive at me and gave me some niusick to the same tune. Wei on the account of that dirty little trick of Jim's, we didn't get a bite of dinner and Jist had to work on till night on an empty stomach, a sore back, and a bustin' head. Page 149 I thought to goodness that night would never come, but, finally as the sun had gone down, Dad come out and called us. Jim and me went hobblin' Into the house lookin' purty tired and sheepish and wan a most awful uneasy feel In’. Jim am. me thought we surely would get some supper before we had to do up the chores, but. no slree. that wasn't what Dad was countin' on. He Jist sorter unconcerned like said. ’•Here you youngsters get your buckets and go pail the cows. It’ll be a good smart bit yet before supper. Well Jim and me went and got them buckets and went down to the pasture Held behind the barn to pall them ’ere good-for-nothin’ old cows. When we got there the gosh-hnngcd old cows wasn’t no where in sight, so Jim and me hud to toddle down to the lower end of the pasture field to get ’em and bring 'em up. Jim grabbed old Ilrin by the tail and me old Boss and w« give them old cows an accommodation boost apiece and then let them accommodate us by pullin' us clean up to the barn. Well, we chained ’em to the fence where we alters did ami commenced to pail ’em. The files was Jist a swarmin’ around the old cows and they was Jist kickin' and lashin their tails to heat the time. Jim and me got desperately hot by the time we hud been swatted between the eyes about five times apiece. Finally, I said to Jim, '’What In the Sand Hill can we do with these old cows. I'll Jist behnnged !f .1 cun stand it any longer. I'll tell you Jim is mighty sharp If he Is my brother. He scratched his sweaty pate awhue and then said. I’ve gofer now. I said. What is it.” And he answered. We'll Jist tie their pesky old tails together and ace If we can't stop this foolin’ Of course 1 thought that would be the thing to do so we got to work and tied their old tails together good and tight. Well, things went along ul! right then for the old cows tails were tied so they couldn't switch 'em. you know, so Jim and me went on to mllken ’em and forgot all about the swltchcn . Finally we both got done at the same time and we set our buckets down and went around and unchained 'em and pecked each one of them on the end of the nose with our fists and told 'em to go. Them old cows Just whirled and one started one way and the other In the opposite direction, but all Page 150 to onct something gave a jirk and both came to a (load atop. Well, they just thought that Jim and me had 'em by the tall and was goln to whip ’em. so they both got down to real business, and of all the pullin' and hollerin' you ever heard in all the days of your life that capped the climax. Well, sir. they Just pulled this way and that way, and they got onto the milk buckets, kicked 'em over., and smashed 'em up. and their toes got to dlggin’ up the gravel and It would fly and hit ’em. All to onct something begin to crack and then all of a sudden their tails gave way and they both shot right over on their noses and just turned a complete flip-flop. Them old cows picked themselves up out of that and out through the Held they went as hard as they could go, old Boss with two tails, and old Hrin without any. Well when I came to my senses I heard Jim a boginnin' to cry and 1 asked him what was th© matter with him. and he said, I won't have anything to swing on now when I go after the cows.” I felt sorter sorry for him and told him that my old Boss had two tails and I guess I could lend him one of 'em. Them old cows a hollerin' so scared Ma and Dad half out of their senses, that down around there they came, and around the barn Jlst in time to see the old cows goln over the hill. Well they Jist piled right over that fence and Dad grabbed me while Ma caught Jim, and if you ever seen whallopin' goln’ on you would have seen some there that would have put It far in the shade. When Dad did Anally let up on me, 1 didn’t know whether I was standing on my head or on my tip toes. Then Dad said. You youngsters waltz yourselves right down there and carry up wood enough to last a week.'' I didn't know which way to start but Dad gave me a good start In the right direction. So Jim and me started down through the fleld to carry up wood, but as we got almost there Jim said, i'll tell you what let’s do. let's just run off to grandma's and stay all night and make Dad get the wood. All right. I replied. and we went right over to grandma's. When wo got there we never told them what had happened, but they supposed we had jist come to stay all night with them. By that time Jim and me was gettin' desperately hungry and Jim and me knew that grandma always had some mighty fine cookies in the old tin box in the pantry, so Jim and me slipped Into the pantry when the old folks weren’t look- Page 151 !n and dived Into that old tin l� ox and Jist filed our pockets full. It happened that grandma had Jist baked 'em and the box was ao full that not another siugie eookey eon Id lx put In. and fool that we wen-, we didn't think they could miss a few out of so many. So Jim and me slipped down behind the barn and began to munch cookie . Well. sir. we hadn't eaten more than one when we heard grandma boiler for u . We Jist supposed that they wanted to see us about something so we Jist brushed the crumbs out of our pockets and put the flaps out over cm and went wulkin up to the house. I Jist walked iu uncontented like, hut I hadn't any more than got Inside the door than grand mu grabbed me and Jim poked Ills bend in to sec what the fracas was and grandpa nabbed him and hauled him into the room and I'll tell you they made ns smarter than we already was. Well after they hud settled up their little account with us. they made us take every one of them cookies out of our pockets and then boosted utt out of the door. Well, poor old Jim and me made up our minds to go hack home, for wo might as well take laminins at home as at grandma's. We crossed our I’ole Cut Holler and Monkey Ridge and was Jist goin' down through a pasture field when all to onct I heard something Jist a runnln’ behind us and we both looked around right quick, and I'll bet you if our eyes wasn't ns big as Mincers, they was a blamed sight bigger. Jist as soon as Jim and me saw that awful thing coinin' at us we took to our heels and talk about your runnin . why Jim uud me run till we saw stars und we already had the stripes on our hacks. Well sir. I could hear Jimmy a coinin' right at my heels, and a milkin' the funniest wheezin' noise and Jist a gruntin' fit to kill. Finally, when I thought to goodness I couldn't tuke another step, we come to a pair of bars at the lower end of the field. The middle bar was down and right on the other side was a deep ditch. I plunged stra'ght through and Jist lit all over myself and I hadn't anymore than struck the bottom till Jim Just came right through on top of me. I thought it was the ghost and Jtill thought I was the ghost. We both was scramblin' around there a tryln to get out when all to onct that thing just popped right through the bars and landed right between us and Just began a bobbin up and down and a rootin' around over us. and what do you suppose It was? It wasn't nothin' but Sam Smith's old white |h-i calf. Well. I won't undertake to tell you what else happened to us before wo got home and in bed, for it would take too long to count the stub ends of the whips .Mu ami Had wore out on Jim and mo that night.
