h _: !._- A__ SLLiaTT Phils. i i M. U. S.-KITO SECOND VOLUME MCMIIII PUBLISHED BY THE LITERARY SOCIE- TIES OF THE MEM- PHIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL. MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE ifitratton To the Alumni of the University School, whose memory we cherish, for whose fortune and success in life we fondly hope, we dedicate this, the second volume of the M. U, S. — Kito, in loving remembrance. JPrnlngur At last I ' m with you once again, The long expected number two. I hope I have not come in vain. And that I ' ll bring some joy to you. When number one came out last year No other prep in Tennessee Had had an annual to appear, And so we had more praise, you see. I have, within me, tasteful works. Which, with such care,, our artists drew. And also essays by our clerks. While pictures fill me through and through. Our football team we have on view. And members of the tennis club. The baseball nine and track team, too; And then we don ' t forget the scrub. But then, I guess it ' s not so well That I, to you, my own case plead. And all about my contents tell — You ' d better take the book and read. -L. B.

' ■ ,Hl.l jg iE ttnnal y HE first volume of the M. U. S. — Kito, issued last year, met with a warm £1 and well-deserved reception. Encouraged by the success of its predeces- sor, we have ventured to bring into existence this second volume, hop- ing that it may at least merit the same attention and praise that the first volume received. Although our task has been a difficult one, yet we venture to say that it has not been as arduous as was the task that confronted the editors of Volume I., and we here desire to acknowledge our indebtedness to those who went be- fore us. and. like pioneers, marked the path, in which we have endeavored to follow. But we express the hope that our readers will bear in mind the fact that although those whom we succeed are deserving of much praise for having blazed the way, yet we also come in for a share of merit as well as of indulgence, as being travelers upon a road to us so perilous and untried. That the results of our efiforts are not all that they should be, we are well aware. In fact, we realize that we have left undone many things that we ought to have done, and have done many things that we ought not to have done. But a man can but do his best, and it is our best, with due apologies, that we now lay before you. As so great a part of our time and attention has been consumed in the rough-hewing work, the polish of this volume is not all that we might hope ; but Whatever hath been written shall remain. Nor be erased nor written o ' er again. And if this M. U. S. — Kito but brings to you the true hum of our school life, without the poisonous sting of hurt feelings, we shall be satisfied. Re- member, however, that the antidote for this M. U. S.— Kito ' s sting— our good will — is ever present with you. THE EDITORS. 20 Alumnt ISnU ADA IS, THAD, 1900-01. With W. R.

The Board of Editors take this opportunity of wishing him success in his new field of labor, and we feel sure that his school at Trenton, Tenn., will meet with well- deserved prosperity. Mr. Fitzgerald is a B. A. of Vanderbilt University, and before his con- nection with the University School he had been engaged for several years in school work . Was Professor of Latin and English at the New Mexico Military Institute for several sessions, and resigned in 1900 to accept the position of Principal of PubHc Schools, and of the Shelbyville Preparatory School, at Shelbyville, Tenn. Mr. Fitzgerald has had ample experience and training for his profession, and we sincerely hope the time will soon come when the Fitzgerald School of Trenton will be ranked among the foremost preparatory schools of Tennessee. In closing we extend to Mr. Fitzgerald the best wishes of all the boys at the University School and add the following toast as the expression of us all : Good health to you, and wealth to you, And the best that life can give you ; May Fortune still be kind to you, And Happiness be true to you. And Life be long and good to you — Is the toast of all your friends to you. 46 ©rgamzatton 0f QtittUB 47 I ' ' ' ' ' - mm - f li ?l ■■««l MaMPM«e v iinqna 1 ICttprarij giDrtfties Among the principal forward movements in the i l,. U. S. this year was the inauguration of literary societies. For some time the need of such organi- zations in the school had been apparent, but had never been sufficiently urged or appreciated until this year. We feel sure, therefore, that the step taken m.eets with approbation on the part of all our Alumni and friends, a? well as of the entire present student body. On Fridav, January 22, the organization of two societies, composed of members of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Fighth English Forms, was perfected, the following method of procedure being employed : Mr. Fitzgerald took charge of the meeting, and, after a brief talk, pointing out the characteristics and bene- fits of such societies, appointed two leaders to choose up sides ' from the number of applicants for membership. Each body thus formed constituted a society and proceeded to organize. The names chosen were the Jefifersonian Literary Society and the Hamiltonian Literary Society. The societies are of approximately equal strength, from both a numerical and forensic standpoint, and on this account the friendly rivalry is strong and incessant. The meetings are held every Friday afternoon in the study hall. At these meetings one society holds session, while the members of the other are pres- ent in a body, simply as spectators and auditors ; the following week the order is reversed. On these afternoons the last two recitation periods are given up for the society meetings. For this year the officers are elected once a month, in order to allow all an opportunity to debate and declaim (since, by the constitution, officers are not permitted to take part in the literary program), and at the sanfe time to accustom as many as possible to the dignity of holding office. As a matter of convenience, we give in this volume onlv the officers first elected in each society. The literary program of each meeting consists of six declamations and a debate in which four members participate. The originator of this movement was our highly esteemed instructor. Air. Fitzgerald. Of all the beneficial innovations in connection with the M. U. S. of which he has been the promoter, this one will probably most greatly perpetuate his memory. The advantages of these societies will be apparent to all upon a little consideration. It may not be out of place to call to mind a few of these benefits just at this point. In the first place, a membership in one of them is almost an 50 education in itself. In order to participate in the exercises one is forced to search tradition, history and Hterature, to make a study of subjects social, historical and political. It teaches one how to reason and thus cultivate a broad, liberal mind. At the least, it constitutes a part of every liberal education ; it is of great im- portance to any man. in any walk of life, to be able to express himself in public in an easy and effective manner. How often have we seen men called upon to speak in public who were unable to express their thoughts, or, at any rate, did so with great discomfiture to themselves as we ll as to their audience? Again, one derives a great deal of pleasure from work in the societies. It adds interest to the school life and comes as a pleasant break in the regular routine of school duties. It is a leading factor in promoting school spirit, as it adds another attraction to the school. Judging from the interest with which they have entered upon the society work, the boys appreciate the above mentioned advantages. The societies are at present among the most popular features of the school, and we venture to predict that their success in the future will be such as to warrant all who joined them at first in priding themselves on being charter members of either the Ham- iltonian or Jefifersonian Literary Society. 51 iB WWP— ■ «■ Darnell, R President Gunther Secretary Marks Treasurer Harvey Marshal Mr. Fitzgerald Critic Anderson iiailey Bejach Erode Cnlpepper.

Young , li 54 mmmmm itlilik liiliiP ] I :i A JNpui Sraturp ©NE more stride has been taken toward the perfection of our most ex- cellent school for Memphis boys. It is a step almost necessary to the regulation of a progressive school of the present day. The Principals knew how the boys would accept this action and felt that it would work t )r tlic mutual benefit of all. So early in March Mr. Rhea announced that the Principals had decided to make a radical departure from the old rules in force in the study hall. In order to augment study and to decrease the number of boys detained after school, he stated that unusual privileges would be granted the bovs who should attain certain standards. These standards are posted weekly and embrace the following conditions : First, that the student shall make a weekly average of 95 per cent, or above on all his studies except one, which must not fall below 85 per cent. ; second, that he shall receive no demerits during the week ; third, that he shall not be absent during the week ; fourth, that he must not be detained after school. The privileges allowed are liberal. The boys have the use of the grounds during study hours, when they are not engaged in the study hall. They stay near the buildings, so that they can hear the bell for change of classes, and during the warm days of April and May the shade and cool breezes upon the campus prove much more desirable than the school-room. Thus the boys, who can, take advantage of this opportunity and prepare for their next day ' s recitations upon the spacious campus. As a monthly record was taken for the first week, only seven scored the required average, though on the following week this mmiber was increased to twenty, which demonstrates the wholesome effect this new feature had ; and the boys deserve their share of praise, as it is no easy task to meet the requirements. But the seven boys who first made this average, and thus established this custom, should rank along with the honor men of our school. The following are the fortunate seven, who were not only the initiates of a most commendable feature, but also have added another era to the history of our school : ■ Robert Dorsey Andrews, Clare Hoshall, Richard Miles Buddeke, Jules Brady Rozier, Jr., Henry Martin Dunscomb, Albert Guild Riley, Joseph Marks Sugarman. f ' O 0; -fi CO . ! A S i]utrrFl, a Snnfitrr m h thr 3(ay Str s PRING has come and winter has gone, and everything is green out- ' side and inside too. One sees in the trees newly-hatched jav birds peck- ing one another bald-headed just to pass the time away, and standing nearlj - sits the old mother. Under the tree stands a Iiobo rooster, with his month wide open, trying to catch a web-worm which is jnst out of reach. The worm seems very much excited, for if he goes up the young jay birds will get him, and if he descends he will land in the rooster ' s mouth ; so he strikes a happy medium and swings slowlv ni the balmy air. On the fence sits a young gray squirrel trying to make his tail tickle liis left ear, but iinding it impossible, starts up an old oak tree, and gets half Vv ' av up when all the bark falls ofif and mashes the rooster ' s face into the ground. The young jay birds were convulsed with laughter at this, and one of them lost his hold on the other ' s head and fell with a thud on the ground near the wounded rooster. The squirrel, after helping the rooster pull his face out of the mud, and after getting all the feathers out of his own mouth, ])ut the yotmg bird on his back, and took it up to its mother. The rooster, after getting his face clean, started on a run for a beetle. The beetle flew right over a bee-hive and alighted somewhere on the other side of it. The rooster, after circling the hive twice, jumped up on it and, flapping his wings, crowed loudly. The bees now began to come otit and sting the rooster, and he saw that his only chance was in flight. He started on a run for the front yard, but getting his feet entangled in some kite string, fell in a heap. The bees now liad him at their mercy. First a large bee stung him on the hip, then another on the knee. One tried to sting him on the nose, but he promptly swallowed this one and got stung on the windpipe. The bees, after getting sufficient revenge, returned to the liive and left the rooster trying to get untangled. The squirrel in the meantime had been having an exciting time. When on arriving with his burden at the jay bird ' s nest, he met the mother, who thought that he was kidnap ping her child. Sh.e immediately began pecking him and pulled three beautiful hairs out of his bushy tail. The voung bird on his back now gained consciousness and began to stick its spurs into his ribs with vigor. But this was not all, for the remaining birds in the nest began spitting nine o ' clock tea in his eye. The squirrel now showed his coolness. He bucked the bird on his back over on the other bird in the nest, kicked the old bird in the stomach, and leaped towards the web-worm, and grabbing him, yelled, Go- ing down. The worm let him down easy on the ground, and after pulling himself up again, began to swing slowl - in the balmv breeze, as he was wont to do. P. H. W. GO I Sll am il V Annual i ' taff M. U.

U. S. IS so worthy of being preserved that we feel an injustice would be done should we not at least make an effort to leave to succeeding generations of University School boys this precious legacy, our history. On the whole, the past year has been one long to be remembered by those who have passed these many happy and useful days in the class-rooms and upon the campus, at work and at play, under the shadow of the low brick building on the hill. The year was begun under most propitious circumstances. Never be- fore had such a goodly number of sturdy, resolute youths entered these halls of learning with minds so intent upon success. Nothing could daunt us ; even the thought of the difficult conc[uests of Latin, Greek and Mathematics that lay before us could not terrify our courageous hearts. But with us it was not work, work, work, all the time. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and we were de termined not by any means to be dull boys. So the clear, crisp autumn afternoons witnessed a campus enlivened by the crowds of athletes engaged in various sports, football especially. The team of pigskin buggers that took the field reflected honor upon the school, both at home and abroad. Thus the fall wore on and deepened into winter, its close being marked by that most agreeable rest for the weary, the Thanksgiving holidays. We had scarcely buckled down again when we began to realize that just be- fore us were those jolliest of all days, the Christmas holidays; but also that be- tween us and the coveted goal was that bugbear of a barrier, examinations. This ordeal safely ( ?) passed, we entered upon our rest, and proceeded to forget, as far as possible, everything we had learned by dint of three months ' hard work. The first week of 1904 found each man back in his usual place, with a good list of resolutions pasted in his hat and many pleasant memories of Christmas lingering about the recesses of his cerebellum. Then we applied ourselves more diligently than ever to our books, having nothing else whatever to do, and there- fore realizing, for the first time, perhaps, that our education was the chief end of CL school life— a truth so soon to be forgotten. About this time occurred an event which will always be important in M. U. S. annals— the organization of the two Literary Societies. A complete account of these is to be found elsewhere in this volume ' . The Glee Club, also, soon began to tune up for their annual public performance in the springtime. A few more days and the glad Eastertide was here, with the holidays and base ball trip. After that had passed it was all easy ; ' baseball, tennis and track teams furnished contests to the strong, while the gymnasium tournament and dance came in for a ver)- delightful evening as a break in the monotony. We could now discern upon the horizon the first faint glimmering of that bright time ahead of us, the third of June. Encouraged by this we nerved ourselves for the final spurt, and here we are, at last, at our journey ' s end. x nd in closing this, the history of the eleventh year of our school, we wish to congratulate all who helped to make this year successful, not only in the school-room, but also on the campus, and to offer our sympathies to those who have been less fortunate. In the words of one capable of judging, we have done our durndest. and now we leave the field of battle to others more worthy than ourselves. 71 Alpljab t A is for Alec, The boy with the bangs, Who causes the ladies So many heart-pangs.

Where Swiftv ' — our Swiftv - 75 AT i 30 0ri| How the Express Wa.s Saved; or, Who Chunked the Chunk of Coa l It was a dreary, dark night, and Csesar, fearing that the bridge over Mud Lake would be taken by the Dunlapii, who are neighbors and near kinsmen of the Manassasii. sent Ambassadors Pullen and Schloss with two legions as a guard to our baggage. The battle having been fought and Caesar ' s men badly beaten, he sent for Anibassadors I ' ullen and Schloss. Ambassador Schloss was found in the rear of the army with both ears cut off, and said that he had important messages for Caesar from Cenius Annonas Bedelia, who was then leader of the Dunlapii. Schloss was led forward and was told to give his messages in a stentorian voice. Mr. Caesar and Fellow Romans of the Roman Army: When I left camp I ex- pected to return with Ambassador Pullen, but during the battle both of us were taken captive. We were kept apart for two nights, then I was led by two soldiers to where Ambassador Pullen was. The sight I saw was truly heartrending. There was our worthy Arkansas Ambassador tied in a bow-knot around a mulberry tree, and in his delirium I could hear him say : ' Yes, boys, cow meat is good, but horse flesh has it beaten badly. The idea of an ox pulling a cart, ho, ho ! Who ever heard of a cow pulling lumber. Mr. Shanks, are these corrections right? Driver, for the sake of your teeth, take that tennis racket out of your mouth. ' Such, O Romans, were the words of our worthy Ambassador. I was then taken to the General and made to stand in a barrel of hot coco-cola, while he gave forth the following message for you : ' Tell your General unless he moves his camp and forces from the Campusii of the Musii Mountain, we will not only leave his Ambassador tied in a four-in-hand, but from time to time we will send back small pieces of his suspenders as a memento of the horrible treatmem that he is undergoing. ' You ask me how I lost my ears. It was in this manner : The night on which I was to be sent back was dark and chillv, and the General said that he must 78 have some beef tea, and also told the cook not to return unless he brought some with him. But the cows had strayed down into the valley of Red Elm, and no beef could be obtained. The cook was returning with a downcast look, when on passing my tent he saw mv ears protruding through the flaps, and they bemg good and reel, he decided to use them for the beef tea. He called a soldier to help him bind me, and then they got to work on my shell-like ears. My left ear came off easv, but not so with my right one, for its muscles had become strong, as I listen with it much more than with my left. They got both off, however, and after a few moments I heard the General praising the cook on his fane tea, and I silently prayed that he would catch the ' erysipelas. ' The next day Caesar broke camp and a few days later the captured Am- bassador, Pullen, crawled into camp with his neck through a pair of handcuffs, a steel trap clasped to his right leg, and wearing an expression which not only threw his associate Ambassadors into tears, but also made Cresar rise up and avenge himself against that bloodthirsty nation, the Dunlapii.

Herr Schwill, who is the sole leader of the club, is a man of rare musical accomplishments, and a great deal is due him for keeping the club together. Not only is the club very select, but it also contains the most proficient musicians of the school. The members are assessed eight pfennigs a week, and this, together with the fines, enables the club to give entertainments. The members are : Herr Schwill, Leader and furnisher of sauer kraut. Herr Darnell, R. : Herr Darnell. F. ; Herr Darnell, H., musicians and general soups. Herr Duntze, Steward. Herr Tovner, liody-guard of Schwill. Herr Rozier, Acrobat and Schooner-washer Herr Luehrmann, Stable-boy and Chicken Feeder. Herr Erode, Weinerwurst Skinner and Eater. The last entertainment was given on April 7. Every member was required to speak or read some fine piece of art. The program was as follows: SONGS. I. Mv Bunny Eavs Eggs in the Winter Joyner H. Darnell Bros. Chop Sticks lis III. Biffinglungen Valse • Herr Schwill READING AND SPEAKING. I. First a short debate was given by the club in order to solve their most difficult question. The subject for debate was: Resolved, thai saner kraut is more easily digested if eaten with the fingers. Affirmative, Duntze. Negative, Erode. The debaters came out even in number of points, so a second debate was scheduled to take place the same date the following year. II. A Description of a Hop Farm Luehrmann III.
