As I sat within m) ' study, ' Neath the dimly burning light, I lis ' t in silent wonder To the voices of the niiiht. ' (- ' They spoke to me of Heaven Of the wonderful, the fair; They spoke to me of ancients. And the beauties that were there. They seemed to whisper gently And to try to tempt me on ; And my soul, it strove within me, As the voices whispered on. They filled my heart with longing. And there came betore my sight A vision of an angel, Bathed in celestial light. to ' My soul, it strove the harcier. As the vision {:)assed away. My heart was wracked in anguish. And my lips began to pray. I heard a church bell ringing. More dimly burned the light. My ears, they ceased to listen To the voices of the night. — A. Do nelson. CHAPa ES HAYDEN ALBRIGHT.

One warm day I sat in the Hall Reed-ing Latin, I had just come to the word Dies, when Kennedy chunked a railroad Bond and hit me in my Wright eye. Hearing the sound ot an automobile I rushed to the window, and saw a Block of wood in a benzine buggy rushing down the street at a 4:30 clip. Seated beside him (not the clip) was a beautiful Ball of fur and silky Brown M. U. S.-Kito netting. Walking along the sidewalk was a Hunter with a Beard a toot Ions. Raising his bluderbuss ( loatied with tat meat and beans) he shot a Tay- lor-bird. Hearing a voice in the room, I had halt turned around when an Apple, -white on one side, hit me on the Loeb ot my ear. The Marks- man was a Carter, driving a sausage wagon. Being exceedingly angered, and the Sites of the Town(es) not interesting me, I went up stairs and began Reed-ing again. All at once I heard the Bell ring, and running again to the window, 1 lost my tooting and was precipitated Fais-on through the casement. T shut my eyes, thinking that I was Dunn tor. Sudcienly I rebounded from something very soft, and turning a Hip, I sat down on the asphalt with the tune ot The Star-Spangled Banner rising in my ears. When the music had ceased and a tew accompanying visions had departed, I raised my ej es and saw that the thing with which I had come in Con(n)tact was a human being, delightfully rotund. Beg })ardon? I remarked. Grant-ed, sir, Grant-ed, he replied, nervously. And rising with much effort, he recovered his Busby which had been placing peek-a- boo behind a Roseniield Busch. - placing it on his head, he resumed his wa} and I watched him as he waddled along, his head hanging forward and his tat, red hands swinging like the pendulums ot an ancient clock. Then in great pain I crawled miserably into the house, and amid thi Love-making of the Pidgeons, I got in bed and fell asleep. While asleep I dreamt that I lay across the top ot a long S[)ar( r), and that a ponderous pile-Driver descended at close intervals upon ni) ' latter part. A Taylor-bird is one that takes )our measure. A Busby is an historic head-gear which the German officers wore while ])laying push-pin. -The Rosentield Busch was hrst discovered by Prof. Rosenfieki.

S.-Kito, 1908-09. GREETING It was with a great deal of temerity and a sense of our own incapacity that we, the staff, undertook the preparation of the fourth volume of the M. U. S.-Kito. For two months we have labored as best we could and in what time we have been able to spare from our studies. The school has responded nobly to our frequent calls for assistance. Poets have unexpectedly developed, story-writers have apj)eared on all sides, and artists have arisen, as it were, from the ground. To all of these we are grateful, and duly return our thanks. One of the principal objects in preparing a school annual is to pro- duce a book that will last for a life time and serve as a constant reminder to the alumnus of the pleasures and privileges of his school life. This we have endeavored to do by the photographs, grinds, personals and, in fact, all the departments of the Annual. Now, in presenting this volume to the public, we desire to express again our consciousness of our own inability and to crave your indulgence for any mistakes or blunders that you may discover. We wish to extend our grateful thanks to the students of the University School who have helped us in any way to get out the Annual; to the kind merchants and business men of the city who have given us advertisements; and last, but not least, to every one who, by subscribing, has made this book a finan- cial possibility. Full man} u du}- of vmrcniittin - toil. Full many a nijj;ht ot ceaseless work severe, Each one ot us ciitl find to be required That you mijj;ht have an Annual tor this year. Nor do we p;rudp;e a single labor hard; But treel)- n-ant them with a jo) svipreme In ; i inp; you by teeble efforts oiu ' s, From lite at school that which we think the cream. Now pray forbear to laup;h us all to scorn ; Think kincily ot the faults that you may tind; And if, perchance, these pages bring back jo} ' . Recall the happy days of nineteen nine. f CALENDAR 1908 I September 23 — Fall Term be ii;an. ■] September 2C) — Athletic Association organized. j October 3 — Football game with University of Mississippi.

York THE SECOND FORM The Lower School or primary department is divided into three forms — First, Second and Third. The work in this department is designed to pre- pare a boy for the LIpper School. We have no first form this year. They start in the second, those be- ginners, which is some consolation for the beginners, maybe. Beginners ' ? Think of it! Visions of tops and trains and C-A-T and marbles and kites and two plus three. It is just plain old reading, ' riting and ' rithmetic. But they begin. Mr. Ford sees to that. Some days they don ' t end, not at two-fifteen p. m. Mr. Ford sees to that, too. By dent of patience and persuasion, some sense of the seriousness of his task is implanted in the brain of the Second Former. By gradual stages in the Reader and trying during long hot summer afternoons to solve 1 3x1 2x1 5 — ■? and other such awful tasks does he change his out- look on life. Duty first stares him in the face, and the shirking thereof leers at him from the side. Ah, full many ' s the time that following side shall lead him on to trouble — and late hours in the afternoon and Satur- days and dictionary and such evils. He knows not of their results now. And so we have him — the Second Former, his childish eyes still wide open in wonder, his mind eager to grasp these strange beginnings of school life, not understanding yet his relation to teacher and to school mates, not knowing the why of all these boys and books and men; yet with a faint awakening instinct that here are friends and comrades, good times, maybe, (and bad times sure), and some kind of work that he must do, but he can ' t see why — not exactly why. — J .

Sites THE THIRD FORM Shades of difference, how deep are your lines I Class distinction, how mighty is thy hand I Woe betide him that understandeth not the place that is appointed unto him, else the day of his doom is at hand. Right great is he of Third Form at the beginning of the new term. Glowers he in mighty scorn and revengefully at those trembling and in- signiticant ligures ot Form Two. Many ' s the slight, the laugh, the push, for which he meant to exact full payment and a bit ot interest too. But other things than torture, the sweet unresisting underlings soon begin to claim him. Besides longer and harder sessions with his teacher, glittering visions of the future loom before him. He longs to be one of the older boys, who seem to him to be so easy and familiar with school life, so strong and athletic. Oh, how he would like to be a football star, to make a flying tackle, or smash a hole right through the line. How glorious it seems to him to be a pitcher, to strike out three men in the ninth inning, with all the bases full and the score two to one in the oppo- nents ' favor. Yes, he determines to be a football and baseball player. At night, when he goes to his big brother and asks him to work a sum, he sees his big books and hears him saying ' ' Anna v runique canoy It tingles in his ears — how he would like to study that too. Oh I he says to himself, ' but I ' ll be through with this old reading and geography in another year. If he is any good — and he surely is good — he has learned other things and — Ambition. — J.

Ambitions realized, hopes tullilledl No more slur of Primar3% no more exile in a far-off room but Study Hall and abstruse books — and Mr. Rhea ' s all-seeing eye. The more serious things of life are now his daily pursuits. Did not the new teacher just from college call him Mister ' ( A new idea of teacher this. He almost feels in him a friend. A new dignity does hedge about this new Fourth Former. Life is indeed becoming broader anti it is pleasant, too. Fast friends he makes boys after his own heart, tried and true. How well he knows them when childish games now change to gym. work, tennis, baseball, and firialh ' — dare they try ? — football. On the team ? Third team, fourth team or fifth team, maybe, but he plays, and he plays for all that ' s in him. And he hopes and hoj)es — that first team ? But he does not say anything. And then the dark days come — days of Latin and Math, and History and late afternoons. And nights, Latin, Math, and History — and dreams of late afternoons. ' ' Life is but an empty dream. Things are not what they seem. But amidst it all the foundations of a man are being laid. He is broadening brains and biceps. To quote Dr. Hinatt, if the bov is any good — and he ' s good — he is developing ' Git, Grit and Gumption, ' that is to say Ambition, Stickability and Good Hard Sense. — J. Do nelson.

TuGGLE Robert Marks FIFTH FORM When a bo}- enters the Fifth Form he begins to realize that school is not all drudgery That the teacher h not a being created to persecute him, but a friend who is only too glad to helj) him in his toilsome acquire- ments of knowledge. A boy generall}- hnishes the Fourth Form about the same time that short trousers are discarded in favor of long ones. When he has dropped the curtains, ' ' he feels that he is at last on the high road to manhood. Now, as missing lessons, writing dictionary and staying in till five o ' clock is not flattering to his new dignit) ' , the Fifth Former begins to believe better and to study more. Nor is his development confined to this. Tb.c bo}- begins to show school spirit. He comes to see the school teams batt ' e for victory. He subscribes to the school paper. When a man del ' vers a lecture, instead of hnding an auciitor who likes his talk only because of the lessons he misses, he finds one who listens with attention and interest to the good advice given him. Probably the teachers are gratified more than any one else when a boy ' s Fifth Form development commences. Instead of trying to teach a hardheaded, mischievous boy, they find a pu{)il who is ready to do his best, and makes the teichei ' s work a pleasure rather than a cireaded task. — Nortltcross.

The Sixth Form is mainly com])Osed of graduates from the Fifth Form, together with some pupils from other schools. Very few of the scholars, however, are regularly in the Sixth Form. Indeed the class is quite a mixture. For in it are tall boys, and short boys; fat boys, and thin. It is when the bo} ' is in the Sixth Form that he begins to reason for himself. He dimly understands why. He no longer cioes his duties just because he is compelled to do them. His mind is broadening. His eyes are opening to the possibilities of his life. It is like a breaking from a chrysalis, a budding of a rose. Ambition is welling within him. And it is now that he begins to prepare himself for the mighty struggle within the world. Then, too, is now heard that herald of the future, that unmistakable signal of approaching manhood, the goslings. The Sixth, ah! ' tis the Noble Sixth, Well may that be their name. For bright and strong their chances seem. To climb the tree of Fame. — A. Donehon. m A SEVENTH FORMER r FORM VII. B. E. Armstrong J. H. Francis T. M. Lucas Owen Armstrong J.N.Grant E.G.Nathan R. H.

Well, they think that you can ' t, so that ' s all that is necessary. The Seventh Form is the crisis of a boy ' s school life. When a fellow ha; labored through Plane Geography, Cicero or the Anabasis, he thinks himself able to cope with the worst of the adversities that the world has in store for him. So he gives up his education and plunges headlong into the business world. On the other hand the fellow that overcomes this feeling of his own prowess is more than likely to take a college course, and prepare himself to receive more easily the hard knocks ot the worki. The class of this year is unusually good, both in their studies and in athletics. The superiority in class work is shown by the large number of Seventh Form boys on The Fresh Air List.

Tliongh he plays a good game of baseball, it is on basket ball that his fame as an ath- lete rests. After he once locates the basket he seems unable to miss a goal, and many a game has been saved for the Eed and Blue by his timely throwing of fouls.

U. S.-K to came out. There are still fewer in the school who know the origin of the title of our Annual. However, these few will doubtless remember the mtiring efforts of the first staff of editors. These editors had to break the ice, so to speak, that surrounded the school boys ' [)Ocketbooks and tear down the barriers of diffidence that hemmed in the talent in the school. How well they succeded is seen by the book that they produced. These first editors of M. U. S.-K to will ever be remembered by the students of M. U. S. Our Annual owes its origin to Mr. T. J. Roller, who was teaching Latin in the school at that time. Seeing the unusually fine talent in school he brought the matter to Mr. Rhea ' s attention. As a result the en- tire charge of the Annual was given over to Mr. Roller. He worked diligently to make the Annual a success. The editors met with him every week to discuss plans. The work was soon on a boom. The editors were quite anxious to do their part, but they had a great deal of trouble trying to stir up the other fellows. The work was moving along rapidly when the question of a name for the book arose. Mr. Roller and the editors spent many sleepless nights trying to find some suitable name, all to no avail. At last, in des- peration, they offered a pri ' e to the one that should give the book the most appro{iriate name. Soon the whole student body were busy search- ing the shelves of their brains for a name that should fill all the require- ments. These requirements were: First, the name must include the initial M. U. S. ; and second, the name of something common to this part of the country. Affairs were at a standstill. No suitable name was handed in by the boys. Things were beginning to look desperate. The Annual was about to go to print without a name. Finally one night Mr. Roller told Mr. Rhea his troubles. Mr. Rhea, too, was stumped for some time. However, a smile soon came over his face as he said: I have it. Why not call it ' The Mosquito? ' You can spell it M. U. S.-Kito and the com- bination will include not only the initials M. U. S., but also the sug- gestion named. Thus the Annual got its title. N ' ' L -rt ' il ' - — -flr-J-liU ' illtiMr t4ll ' 4«ZmK.- i « CALLE A CALLER. H;ilf past eight and that man not here yet.

BROWN A TURKISH 1 ROPHY It was last summer, on the occasion of my third tri[) around the world, that the following adventure happened: I arrived at Constantinople on a bright, hot day in June. I was to remain there two weeks and then go to Paris, whence I would return to m} ' home in New York. As the Consul in the city is a warm friend ot mine, I immediately called on him. He welcomed me cordialh ' and M ' e talked tor some time of old friends, when suddenly he exclaimed: Oh, yes, Sam, you say you have cione some detective work I Well, there is a case here that is puzzling everybody. Seen the morning paper ' ? I replied that I had seen one, but couldn ' t understand a word of Turkish, and didn ' t get nuich out of it. Well, he says, I ' ll tell ) ' ou about it. There is a rich old nobleman or pasha here named Caroun. He has a [M ' etty daughter by the name of Mirna. The girl i ; well eduL-ated and speaks En-jlish, French and German. Nitiht lief ore last she walked out into the garden of the villa without attendants, to take a little fresh air, it was thought. The old Pasha ' as engaged in a hot game of poker with a triend and it was an hour before he thought of the girl. He asked for her and it developed that she had not returned from the garden. He ordered the slaves to call her and began another game. Ten minutes later the slaves returned, greatly frightened, and said that the whole garden had been thorough!}- searched with lanterns and Mirna was not there. Then the old man, growing uneasy, arose and went out to conduct a personal search for her, but she had certainh disappeared. The authorities were sum- moned and the police and government detectives worked all day yester- day, but no clue was discovered. This was the question : what was the girl ' s motive for leaving, if voluntary; if not, what gang kidnapped her ' ? How did she get over the ten-foot wall ? As there were guards at the gates, how ciid she get away without being seen or heard ' ( ' The Consul paused. He was evidently completely puzzled himself over the mystery, and well he might have been I I asked if there was a well in the garden, but he replied that there was only a fountain, tour inches deep and with perfectly transparent water in it. There were no marks of an} ' struggle and, in fact, no tracks, as there was a large con- crete walk down the entire length of the garden and the girl was certain to have kept to this as it was her in ' ariable custom. ' Well, here is a novel case, thought I, and asked my friend it he could take me to the Pasha ' s house and let me try my hand on the mys- tery. He laughed at the thought of my succeeding where old sleuths had failed, but agreed to go with me. The Pasha had a large stone villa about two miles from the Sultan ' s palace and in a fashionable quarter ot the town. There was a beautitul lawn of perhaps tour acres in front ot the building and several hundred feet of land on each side ot the house. At the rear ot the building, which was two stories in height, was the garden ot which he had sj)oken. Tt was surrounded by a wall ten feet high, at the top ot which were iron spikes closely set together. The garden wall was joined to the palace walls and only a small door connected them. These tacts the Consul pointed out as we ap[)roached the house. We were ushered into the presence ot the Pasha, who received us in silence. He was a sour-looking individual, however, and looked as it he was very bad humored. My triend fiattered me by introducing me as a well-known American detective. At this the aid man brightened up considerably and offered to give me any information I wished. He also sent for his daughter ' s German maid and all four ot vis went out to the garden. By dent of much questioning of the Pasha and the maid I found out the following tacts: that Mirna often walked in the garden at night, that three weeks before she had attended a mask ball at the Amer- ican consulate, that she had visited Paris, France, a year before, that she had many suitors to all of whom she turned a deaf ear. After going over the ground carefully, we took our departure. During my two weeks stay in theTurkish ca[)ital, I employed myself in all of my spare time in working on the mystery. I followed up several clues but all failed to develope anything. On the day of my departure, I confessed to the consul my inability to make anything out of it, and he had a good laugh at me. The police, too, were at their wits end and the Pasha was almost broken-hearted. The mystery seemed in a fair way never to be solved. ;|; ;i: ;!; ;!; ;|; jj; ;i; c ;1: :ic t- Two days later I arrived in Paris and hastened to my hotel for the night. Tn the morning I went to the Rue de la Paix to look up Tom Warner, an old New York friend of mine who was then living in Paris. I soon found his number anci sent up my card. He hastened down. Hello, Sam, old boy I he said, I am mighty glad to see you. What are you doing here ' ? I explained that I was on a tour, having just arrived from Constantinople. He said he had only been back from a trip two weeks. And by the way, Sam, you didn ' t know ' iiarried now did you ' ? he exclaimed. Wh} ' no, who is she ' ? I asked, but he was already out of the room anci soon re- turned leading one of the prettiest girls I ever saM She was of the Orien- tal type and greeted me in good English. You see she is Turkish, said Warner. She was Mirna Caroun, of Constantinople I When I had recovered from my sur[)rise and astonishment, I asked man} ' questions. It seems that Tom Warner had met her during her trij) to Paris the year before anci had fallen in love with her. A year later he had gone to Constantino[)le on business and again saw her at the mask ball. We decided he said to elope, as we knew Caroun had set his heart on Mirna marrying a Tvirk and would not give his consent to our union. So we tied, came here and were maried about tM ' o weeks ago. In a month or so we will write the Pasha a joint letter explaining all and asking his forgiveness. We feel sure he will grant it. I told of the police vainly trying to find out what had become of them and added that I had been foiled myself, But Tom, I added, how did you get over that wall undiscovered ' ? He lavighed and arose. That ' s ■I easy, he answered, come out here. He led the way to a small shed at the rear ot the house and opened the door. Behold m} aeroplane Merri- mac, a gift of our friend. Mr. Wilbur Wright. Then Tom leaned over and whispered to me, By the, Sam, Mirna has a sister two years younger than she is who looks just like her. Say, old man don ' t you want to borrow the Merrimac ? — II ' 1 1 Cooke Boone. .1 W .1 KHtA. Some Members of the School ' s First Baseball Team 18i)a-94.

TREED BY A MOOSE Nearly every country town has its group ot loafers, and Marston Sta- tion, in Northern Maine, was no exception to this rule. In good weather they would sit on the station platform smoking and chewing, and discuss- ing things which were everybody ' s business but theirs. But this morning the snow had driven them inside, and they were congregated around the agent ' s stove, each taking his turn at entertaining the crowd with a story of some sort. Finally, the supply becoming exhausted, and there still being some time left before the Limited, southbound from Portland, was ciue, young Buck Parker made a suggestion : Say, Uncle Henry, tell us that story about your uncle being treed by the moose. You know, the one you told the other night over at Squire Lane ' s. With much apparent reluctance, LTncle Henry, a gray-haired New Englander, consented to tell the story. My uncle, William Brooks, was a great hunter, in fact he spent the most of his time in the woods. He would often go off on a hunting trip and stay for weeks at a time. So that after a time we got used to his long absence, and were rarely ever uneasy about him. Early in February, 1899, he started out on a moose hunt which he said might keep him away quite a while, as he was going far to the north- east. He traveled steadily for about six days, then came to the dense forests which cover the northern part of the State. In the first clearing he came to he unloaded his {)ack and prepared his camp. As he expected to remain some time, he had brought his entire out- fit, and in an hour he had made a snug little hut for himself He rested the remainder of that day, and the next morning he was up bright and early, preparing his breakfast. He got an early start, and traveled all morning, but without seeing signs of any game. He kept on, however, and toward two o ' clock he dis- covered moose tracks in the snow. He followed these, advancing with more caution than he had hitherto shown. The tracks led him for some distance through the thick woods. Then, quite unexpectedly. Will came to a clear- ing in the middle of the forest. Here he stopped still, unable for an in- stant, to resist the temptation to stand and look. A beautiful specimen of the moose was standing, head erect, sniffing the air in the center of the clearing. His curiosity seemed to have over- come his sense of danger, and for a few moments he gazed at the hunter fearlessly. Those few moments were all that Will needed and, without hesitating longer, he brought his Winchester to his shoulder and fired. Either the moment ' s hesitation had disturbed his aim or else the moose jumped at the same time that he hred, tor the ball, instead ot enter- ing low down under the shoulder blade, inflicted only a slight wound in the animal ' s side. Instead of frightening him this seemed only to ex- cite his anger, and he started towards the hunter. The latter, seeing that something was wrong, jerked down the lever of his repeater and attempted to throw in a fresh cartridge. But somehow the mechanism refused to work and the shell became jammed. This left Will in anything but a pleasant predicament, and he quickly decided that the safest thing for him to do was to climb a tree. So he grasped the bottom limb of a stout sapling and swung himself up just in time to escape the moose ' s horns. Once out of reach of the menacing horns he straddled a limb and summed up the situation. In his scramble for safety he had dropped his gun, and there he was, armed only with his hunting knife, smd with a bloodthirsty brute waiting for him below. ' I certainly am ' up a tree, ' ' exclaimed Will with a grim smile. ' I guess it ' s up to me to wait and see what happens. ' His position was by no means a comfortable one and, being naturally impatient, he could not endure inaction. So he immediately commenced to plan how to get away. After racking his brain in vain for some way out of the difficulty, he decided to attempt the most recklefs thing he ever did. He climbed down to one of the lower limbs, drew his hunting knife and prepared to leap upon the moose hovering about the base of the tree. He counted on lighting on the moose ' s back and plunging his knife into a vital spot before that animal had time to do anything. Of course he felt that it was a foolhardy thing to do, but he gave as an excuse that no one knew where he was and so wouldn ' t come to his rescue. Once having made up his mind he didn ' t delay longer. He stepped out on the limb, grasped his knife firmly, and sprang lightly through the air. His knife flashed and Uncle Henry ' s next words were drowned by a loud rumbling, the shriek of a whistle, the clanging of a bell and the hissing of the air as the brakes are released. Some one shouted, That ' s the Limited, and the group around the stove broke up and made for the door. —R. E. McKellar. CLUBS M,U.S. I ' 4 QLEE CLUB Turner . Gabay .. Kern -.-. Darnell E.

SAYINGS FROM THE PIE HOUSE A pie in the hand is worth two in the pie house. To buy lunch is human; to have it given you — divine. The greatest argument for lunch is lunch. Few know the taste of lunch before it ' s swallowed. A big lunch is a dangerous thing. ■ In every mince pie there is an image of death. It ' s a poor pie that wont fill two mouths. From mouth to mouth leaps the mince pie. Give me a sandwich or give me a pie. No lunch is so big but that it may be eaten, ■ Pie shuddered in his presence and sandwiches always felt his grasping hand. • Better not to eat at all than to eat the whole thing. To bring your own lunch is the best policy. ' Tis hunger lends enchantment to the pie. A fool and his lunch soon parted. j Teach me to brinf ; another lunch To feed the mouths I see ; The pie that I to others give Is doctored up by me. All is not lunch that is savory. Eat or drink, go thirsty or hungry, starve or get fat; I give my hand and my nickel for this pie. Dinners are but lunches of a larger growth. Hunger springs eternal in the school-boy ' s abdomen. Eat ever, hungry never; Eat never, hungry ever. Hungry men rush in where well fed ones fear to tread. SCHOOL SONGS {T une: ' iuld Lang Svne. ' ' ) That good old song of M. U.
