REVEILLE VOLUME EIGHT THE YEAR BOOK OF THE CLASS OF 1912 ,yy t. ; v r yy -, jfc • w y . ; j t v L 4xte 4x Published Annually by the SENIOR CLASS of MISSISSIPPI A. and M. COLLEGE as a slight memorial of our enduri ng affections, as an appreciation of his high ideals, as a trivial testimony of the indefatigable loyalty he has ever com- manded from the student bodies for many years, as a token of our regard for his unselfish heart, his morality, his unfailing courtesy, and his tributes in our behalf, this volume of The Reveille is dedicated. F o r e w o i N ORDER TO MAKE VOLUME VIII. OF THE REVEILLE A SUCCESS, WE HAVE ASKED AND OBTAINED THE CO-OPERA- TIOX OF ALL CLASSES IN COLLEGE, AS WELL AS THE MEM- BERS OF THE FACULTY. WE HAVE WORKED ON THIS VOLUME WITH ENERGY AND DETERMINATION, AND IN PRESENTING IT, WE ARE AWARE THAT IT IS NOT WHAT WE TRIED TO MAKE IT, OR WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT, BUT WE TRUST THAT OUR CRITICS WILL NOT CAST IT ASIDE AS WOR THLESS. TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT ATTENDED A. M., THE PICTURES WILL GIVE AN INSIGHT INTO LIFE AT THE COL- LEGE; TO THOSE WHO HAVE, THEY WILL CALL UP MEMO- RIES OF HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS. THE STORIES AND VERSES FROM MEMBERS OF THE DIFFERENT CLASSES WILL SHOW THE VARIOUS STEPS IN THE MENTAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STUDENTS. TAKEN AS A WHOLE, THIS BOOK REPRE- SENTS THE COLLEGE IN ALL THE DIFFERENT PHASES IN A WAY THAT NOTHING ELSE CAN, AND WE HOPE THAT WHEN THE ' l2 REVEILLE IS WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES OF PUBLIC OPINION, IT WILL NOT BE FOUND WANTING IN THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF A PUBLICATION OF ITS KIND. THE EDITORS. - .ThE- Revtollb i©i William Newton Logan, A. M., Ph. D. THE honored subject of this brief biographical sketch was born at Barbours- ville, Knox County, Kentucky, November 4, 1869. He is a descendant of refined cultured parents, who were active and prominent in the affairs of his native State. In his early youth, Mr. Logan ' s parents moved to Kansas and he obtained his elementary education in the common schools of the district. From the common schools, he went to the High School and was graduated from the Beloit High School in 1889. At this time, he began his work as a teacher and taught the District School, though continued his education by attending Campbell University. After teaching two years in the village schools, he was elected teacher of Science in the Beloit High School, from which he was graduated only three years before, but resigned in 1893 to enter the University of Kansas, where he excelled in scholarship and graduated in three years with the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts, thus leaving a brilliant record to his credit. While at tending College his perservering energetic spirit showed itself, more and more, and he spent his vacation months in teaching Summer Schools and in work on Geological Surveys. At the completion of his College course, he was elected Superin- tendent of the City Schools of Pleasonton, Kansas ; but resigned this position at the end of two years to accept a Fellowship in the Geological Department of the Uni- versity of Chicago, where he could complete his University education and develop his talents doing research work. This graduate Fellowship was won over a large num- ber of worthy competitors and gave him a place of prestige and distinction in the Uni- versity from the very start in his graduate work. Rich success marked every step of his progress and his brilliant work in the Department of Geology was crowned with royal honors in 1900, when the degree of Doctor of Philosophy was conferred on him by the University of Chicago. Dr. Logan was next called to accept the Professorship of Geology and Miner- alogy at St. Lawrence University, Canton, New York; he held this position three years and in 1903 resigned to accept the position of Professor of Geology and Mining Engineering in the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi, which he has filled with great credit and distinction. In taking charge of this Department, he entered at once into the spirit of his work and soon identified himself with the condi- tion of the College, and took up the lines of Geological work needed to be done in the State and whicn would furnish valuable information and be highly beneficial to the WILLIAM NEWTON LOGAN, A. M., Ph. D. 101 farming classes. His work and services in the Institution and the State have been entirely satisfactory to the College authorities from the very beginning and by his energy, skill, and perseverence, he has succeeded in building up his Department until it is one of the most popular and important Departments of the College. Dr. Logan has had wide experience as a Geologist in practical work: he was assistant on the Kansas State Geological Survey from 1895 t0 1897 and again in 1900; he was collector for the Field Columbian Museum of Chicago in 1898; he was a member of the Wyoming Scientific Expedition in 1899; he was assistant on the New York Geological Survey in 1902; and he has been an assistant on the present Geological Survey of Mississippi since its inception, where his published bulletins will speak for themselves. He is a Geologist of national reputation and was honored for his scientific attainments by being elected a member of the Sigma Xi of the Univer- sity of Kansas ; an honor that has been conferred on few of its graduates. He is a member of the Geological Society of America, the Kansas Academy of Science, and other scientific bodies. His investigations and written papers and monographs cover various phases of the geology and mineralogy of Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, New York, Mississippi, and other States. He has contributed many valuable articles to scientific journals and his writtings are quoted as authority in many of the standard text-books on geology. But his culture as a scholar is not limited to the field of geology, and he has contributed many acceptable articles to the standard literary magazines.

[ndustrial Pedagogy. Jetta has been our Co-ed for the past three years, having become a member of our class in 1909. As a student, she is unequalled, and her attractive manner has won for her the place of Class Favorite. While here, she has never been known to lose her temper, but on the contrary, has a smile for everyone. We are justly proud of our Co-ed, for truly she has been an ornament to this famous class of 1912. Her favorite pastime is spending her leisure hours in the Library with a certain Lieu- tenant.

Arthur, better known as Cub, claims to be an Arkansas Product, but residing in Mississippi at present, we are glad to claim him as our own. Cub, having entered Prep, has travelled a long, hard road, but each year he has surmounted all obstacles and made himself master of all he has studied. He is full of fun and there is not a man in the class who has more friends. A great admirer of the opposite sex. he expects to make his final choice very soon after graduation. Besides being an excellent stu- dent, he has taken deep interest in athletics. We wish him a happy and successful career. Class Football, ' 08- ' 09: Scrub. ' 09- ' 10; ' Varsity.

He always believed in going ahead to classes at times when others would cut. He has had some trouble with his work, but we think he has made good use of his training. He is one of our few who came from the Delta, and is prepared to return and be a detriment to the boll weevil, which is so prevalent in that section. He encourages ath- letics, and is a pleasant associate. Dialectic Literary Society, ' 09- ' 10; Agricultural Club. ' 12; Leflore County Club; Vice-President, ' 11- ' 12.

This lad is especially opposed to hard study, but he generally lands with the crowd. John expects to re turn to his plantation if the lady is willing.

Just where Clay hails form is a mystery, but for all practical purposes Kansas City will answer as well as any. Clay does not belong to the National Society of Heart Breakers, but he has a little love spree on just the same, which we hope will terminate successfully for the bride. His chief aim in life is to know all there is to be known about the science of Electrical Engineering, and if his present efforts prevail, he will succeed. We cannot say that he likes to study, but at times he becomes inspired and industriously applies himself for as much as ten minutes without a rest. The art of learning is natural with him, and he is one of our best men.

He joined us in the Junior year and since then, with his serious though pleasant mien and philosophic jokes, he has won the love of all his classmates. C.

This subject has been known to ad- mire one Normalite, but as yet, his heart is obviously unentangled. The gravest charge that we have ' against Pedagogue is his sonorous nods in the section room.

He has the esteem of all who know him; besides his ability as an orator. Berg, with white hair and prepossessing manners, has won quite a reputation as a heart- smasher.

As a football player, he has not attracted much at- tention; but you have missed much if you have not heard him sing a bass solo. As a student, he is very meritorious, and our best wishes go with him in the future. 25 - JfrE REVSMLLE lOlS Ssfig CLAUDE A. BREWER. McComb, Miss. Agriculture. Second Lieutenant Company F.

His good looks are exceeded only by the size of his feet and for this reason, he is a little shy of the fair sex. He is very fond of turkey, and his candid opinion is that the U. S. Armory should be for public use.

He has the happy faculty of let- ting other people do his worrying, and of always wearing a smile. He is very energetic and fond of pleasure, yet never allowing it to interfere with his studies.

As yet, nobody testifies that they have witnessed seeing Blue in the act of deep study, but in the class room he has won much distinction. As a typical town prep, he carries his indifferent smile, toots his own horn, and does not worry about military.

He has played an imoprtant part in society. Frank is generous and pleasant at all times, also possessing the ability of a good student. He has learned that to be a real Gardener he must also be a good agriculturist.

Tom hails from Clark County, just eighteen miles south of Meridian, and the same distance from a railroad, but to hear him talk you would think he was raised behind the buzz of a HONK wagon. Tom has a inclination to sport, and never sees a strange Dame, but what he falls deep in love with her, and usually makes a hit with the fair sex, for he is anything but bad looking. He has never taken any special interest in the military department, but it must be said that he is not a bad student, and he likes to boast that he has never failed on an exam. Tom was never known to be angry, and is very-popular with his classmates, as shown by the clubs below. German Club; Lee Guard; Le Club de Francais; Tennis Club; President Clarke County Club.

Proud of the fact, should he be. for Dame Fate has never smiled on him. Jack is one of the few who have not been guilty of failing on a subject. Besides having attained a high water mark in the section room, Jack has so entwined himself in the hearts of his classmates that none could forget him. With his 25 pound weight, Jack has evi- dently detrimined to develop a powerful physique. This individual, though seemingly very adept in dodging Cupid ' s darts, has doubtedly been wounded, he speaks often and very kindly of a fair damsel at our sister college. Jack talks of going into the military service of Uncle Sam. Y. M. C. A.. ' 07- ' 12; P. P. D. Club. ' 11; Madison County Club. ' 07- ' 12, Vice-President, ' 11, President, ' 12; Le Club de Francais.

He is liked by his classmates; and several persons intimated that he was affected with a malady of the Solar Plexus, but time has wrought many changes.

As a student, he stands among the best in College, and is liked by both students and Faculty. He is exceptionally well versed in the theory of Agriculture, and expects to put it in practice after finishing. When not busy, he talks to his roomate of his future exploits in farming, but never mentions matrimony. It has been whispered around that Duck is in love, but the theory has never been proven. The best wishes of the class go with him. and may he always succeed in the future as in the past. Y. M. C.

He s an excellent business man, as can be attested by his work as Business Manager of the Reveille. Those who know him intimately more than appreciate his qualities. Restless at times — when his letters do not come regularly — -he threatens to leave us and go West, or to the Philippines. Prepping is his past-time, and get the saber his pass-word.

M. just three years ago, but since that time he has won many friends both among the stu- dents and Starkville society. For this ability as a student, we can say that he has completed the engineering course in three years; and as a ladies ' man, we need say nothing. He is happiest(?) when acting in the capacity of Sub-division Inspector. After graduation, he will not seek fortune along engineering lines, but hopes to make his millions while at the head of an Insurance concern. We have no fear as to Pap ' s making good, for his ability to make friends, together with his business qualities, insure a bright future.

It is a pleasure to point to Jim as being among those who never fall below the requirements of a brilliant student, and among the few who have never been found deficient on an examination. He has chosen dairy husbandry for special study, and his re- search in that subject has been extensive and inten- sive. Xo one has done more to encourage religious work among students, and the life he has lived while with us shows the value of such work. Jim came from the sandy land of south Mississippi where pine forests are a prevailing part of the flora. He is as precise in his habits as a chemist is in his work, though it is some time in the future before he should be called a bachelor, if ever. He will perhaps teach a few years in agricultural high schools. His work, as a whole, is praised by students and teachers. Class Historian. ' 10- ' ll; 1912 Club; First Sergeants Club. Secretary.

These characteristics assert themselves in such ways as a strong will power, love of indus- try, and an independent nature. He has recently shown very strong symptons of being in love. At any rate, we predict for Dutchy a success that many of us can well envy. His specialties are, hot radiators, a real mellow pipe, and fishing in Kosciusko.

He is a social favorite, but when it comes to actual facts we are sure that someone back in the Cracker State holds the Ace of hearts. He is a firm believer in the adage of toot your own horn, or the same shall not be tooted. When it comes to blowing a trombone and curling his hair, he has few equals and no superiors.

The wise, public sentiment of Verona was demonstrated four years ago when it dumped the Colonel at A. and M. lie started on time, but on account of the slow trains that run from that great city, was delayed one year. In him we find an ideal student, a better comanding officer, and a man of great possibilities. Being capable and careful, he possesses the rare qualities of a dignified Lieutenant Colonel, an office in which he has exercised his authority and influence to the best of his ability, lie has a striking appearance, popular, is a friend to all who come in contact with him and will some day be adorned with greatness. There is only one girl in the world for him, and she it is who lives at Booneville and imposes upon his finances for postage due. During his entire career at A. and M., he was never known to cut a recitation or have his name appear on the dcliquent list.

Our faces have ever been turned toward the future and not the past. Our history as a class has been spanned by four years of honest, patient, and pleasant work. Now that w r e have at last reached the summit of our goal, let us record the events of our victorious deeds and achievements, so that they may be inscribed on our own minds and on the memories of those who come after us, in order that they may praise and honor our courage and valor. It was during the year of 1908, while wandering through the dim, mystic vales of simplicity, unburdened at the time, by the weight of but little thought or reason, we suddenly became possessed of the enobling desire to delve in to the wearied, en- chanted world of knowledge, in order that we might edify and elevate our own lives and well as those with whom we might become associated. As a consequence of this vision, two hundred and seventy-five (275) boys made their appearance on the campus. During our Freshman and Sophomore years, nothing of special interest occured, save for two years of honest labor and the occasional falling by the wayside of some of the weary and footsore who went to join their kind in the easier walks of life. Time and space would not permit me to give a detailed account of our many adventures and achievements, so I will mention only a few. Probably the most im- portant event of our Junior year was that ever-to-be-remembered Junior Banquet, which served to unite us into one body more than any other one thing. Many, I am sure, will remember the Senior-Junior game in which we left the unfortunate Seniors in the still gloomy defeat, and henceforth, we were idolized (?) by them as they pointed with pride to the following inscription on the water tank: Juniors ' Champions. Again we have reason to remember February 22d, 191 1, for that day we decided that the Father of our country would have said cut, had he been living. Allow us to say in passing that we took our medicine without bleating. Our struggle for a distinc- tion of uniform, which was finally granted, has doubtless caused more discussion and wondering among the class than any other one thing. We feel proud of the trust and confidence the Faculty placed in us, and we have tried to be worthy of that trust. As a class, our motto and watchword has ever been Class Unity. We have long since decided that Together we stand, Divided we fall. What has been the interest of one has been the interest of all in class affairs. On the athletic field we have won honor and glory for our Alma Mater. During the last four years we have risen from the bottom place to one of the foremost in the 90 The- Reveille- 1 12 5 S. I. A. A., this being largely due to the efforts and playing of men belonging to our class, as well as the combined support of the whole class. We h ave had members of our class on every ' Varsity team that has represented the college since we entered school. The mere fact that nine of the eighteen, who made their M on the ' Varsity football team this year, speaks for our record on the Gridiron. As Seniors, we have been true to the college we have learned to love so w 7 ell, and have done all we could for the development of her various activities. We honor truth, contribute to the relief of the poor and distressed, respect the Commandant and his military authority over the Seniors(?). We attend all dances and shows, swipe everything that is loose and not red hot, counsel the under classmen, and so live every day that we can look any Prep in the face and tell him to go to Chapel. Now that our race is about run, it is time to say farewell to our many friends and to each other. We realize that before us stretches a vista of unknown destiny, but we face this destiny with the same courage, determination, and perseverance as we have as a class and can ' t help but believe that we will be crowned with success, growth, and useful- ness such as will lead to the realization of our fondest desires. In conclusion we will say that though we have made mistakes, yet we feel that our school days have found us as manly as those of any class that has preceded or may succeed us. We leave with fond memories of halcyon days that time cannot efface. May God speed you and all that bears the name of A. M. Historian ' .

' Twas sad how you shattered the hopes of Ole Miss., Now stern is reality — that dope caused such bliss. Here ' s to our crack baseball team, that we know, Will win all the victories Southland can grow. We ' ve got some new men to try out this year, Just one more Ole Miss. — do dry that sad tear. Here ' s to the track team, our old standard size. That mopp ' d up in Gulfport, and took every prize. Now, track men, get nimble, and once more repeat, Next college contest we want every feat.

We have passed along the calm, quiet avenues of love and friendship, crossed the placid streams of success and pride, we have also toiled up the difficult and gloomy mountain path of adversity, suffered in the burning desert sands of opposition and assaults, yet at no time or at any stage have our hearts grown faint or our determination less. The Rubicon has been reached, and even now a ringing cry of the die is cast is echoing and re-echoing along the distant hills. We have had a long inning and a fruitful one. It has been one of unbroken suc- cesses achieved under difficulties, yet finished in truly regal style. Our Junior year has been the golden age of the class. Having the largest class that ever assembled at the A. M. and having in it boys (and girls) who possess not only the re- quisites, but the incentives to do something, it is of little surprise that we have ac- complished great things. In every phrase of college life we have given the best we possess, whether it be on the gridiron, the diamond, in the recitation room, or the shops, honesty and perse- verance have been our ideals. We have able men in every branch of athletics, and indeed we have furnished the captains for two teams this year. And that is not all; the men who receive the hard knocks on the football field, or catch the hot ones on the diamond are also among the leaders of the school in academic work, where we again take high rank and bid fare to establish new records and new forms. We can also boast of our military geniuses, for we have our Caesar ' s, Welling- ton ' s, and Lee ' s, and in some future time when the deeds of heroism of the world ' s greatest soldiers entitle them to be numbered among the truly great, we do not doubt that a member of the class of ' 13 will be found among them. In an entirely different, but equally important field, the social circle, we have many representatives. And do you wonder at finding them there ? You should not ; for having among our number, three beautiful and fascinating co-eds, it is little wonder that the brilliant society of Starksville reaps the reward of the effects of Cupid ' s artless arrows. Ere many weeks have come, we will have passed from the Utopian realms of Juniordom to the strange, chaotic, unfathomable abyss of Seniordom, and in a few months the class of ' 13 will be no more. But the love, the record, the friends, and the imperishable memories of our noble and courageous band will be passed into the history of our dear old Alma Mater as the one bright light of the final epoch of the old regime.

' s campus about two hundred and seventy ringtails and privates ready to be subjected to the most strenuous year of the whole college course — that of Sophomore year. Our history has been one of courage, effort, and toil ; and parallel with this, indeed, resulting from our efforts, it has been one of success, glory, and accomplishment. Especially has our course been marked with success since September. Our whole class has united into one strong, compact body working for the good of all. Setting our whole forces against every difficulty and discouragement, we have mounted the hill of obstacle, and bid fair the summit of success. In the class room, in oratory, and in athletics, we have been in a sphere all our own. Aside from the regular routine of events which are experienced in the Sophomore year, we have accomplished some feats above the ordinary. In fact, this class is much above the average, and it is some things about this extraordinary class that we wish to make mention. Class ' 14 is by far the largest Sophomore class that has ever matriculated at this college during its existence. Last year there were about one hundred seventy-five Sophomores, this year there a re about two hundred seventy. We speak with pleasure of the beginning in this year of an inter-class oratorical contest between the Sophomore class of A. M. and that of Millsaps College. This contest took place at Moorehead, Mississippi. The eventful of this is that we are the first class of this institution to go into joint debate with another class from another institution. For the first time in years the individual classes have been given the priviledge of editing an issue of the College Reflector. We are the first class and the lowest class to attempt to publish an edition this session. In how far we have succeeded, let the Reflector speak for itself. Probably the feats that showed more grit and for which the class, and more especially the players, deserve more praise than for any other, was the winning of the class championship in football and basketball. This is the first time the Sophomores have won the championship in football, and is the first time that any class has won championship in basketball. The history of this class has been so very successful that we look forward to still greater and grander achievements in 191 3 and 1 9 14. Historian. ThE- Reveille- lmg g OFFICERS Varnado, O.

The word fresh- man may be associated, by persons of the baser sort, with such satirical epithets as Freshie, Plebe, and other slang expressions contrived by ingenius members of other classes to perpetuate the College jokes. To some this may seem unjust and humiliating, but nevertheless the members of our class are not wanting in those good qualities that will enable them to bear it without a murmur ; and we believe that this is one step in the direction of the goal for which we are striving. In after years our troubles here will all be forgotten, and we will recall, with pleasure, these happy days of our novice year at College. Perhaps this class is not an exceptional one, though we have many good men among our number who are destined for a career of achievement. Our opportunities have not been so great perhaps as those of other classes, but we have conquered the difficulties that have presented themselves at the beginning of our career at this institu- tion. We can boast of having the largest number of men of any Freshman class in the history of the College. In the recitation room we have done excellent work, and, in fact, men from our ranks are found in all the activities of College life. On the football field we are represented by, a certain Chick, (Magee), a huge Pewee, (Mills), and a jovial Kimball, whose names will go down in the ' Varsity football annals as memorials to the class of ' 15. Among the scrubs and those who hope to make the M next year, we are profusely represented. Why we did not win the class championship in football this session is a mystery and a strange puzzle to us. Our other commendable merits may be presented in concise order ; versatility in ex- plaining reports, calm endurance, and stoical heroism in walking extras. We have sur- mounted these barriers and, at the beginning of next session, we will not tremble at the awe inspiring cilmax of ascending into the ranks of the upper classmen. Indeed, to those aspirants for the distinction of corporal it will be a mome nt of proud triumph. Old Freshman year After all you ' re not a knave. We ' ll cherish long the joy you gave, And shed a tear upon your grave, Old Freshman year. Historian. 118 m £%m Rev ili i®±g 0§sg£0 Sub-Freshman Class OFFICERS Denton, C L. Collins, H. H. Kimbell. G.

Two hundred and sixty-eight Preps responded to its tones. We differed very much in stature and intellect, but were all of the same color — green. Many of us had arrived a few days before and had caught a glimpse of the buildings and external appearance of things in general, but this was the first time the majority of us had even an idea of what College life meant. Other things too were new to us. In the mess hall we learned what zip ' and wasp nest meant, and we soon came to the conclu sion that guarding the dormi- tory was no easy task. We could hear bugle calls like we never heard before that made us want to go — home. About a week later our class began in Prep heaven. Then we had something to occupy our time and gradually overcame our home-sick- ness. Our work has grown more interesting to us each day. As a Class, we are united and stand ready to combat the obstacles that confront us, and thereby get strength to battle with the problems of life. We realize that the greater part of our College life is before us. The goal that we are trying to reach is is far ahead. The Preps have taken part in most activities confronted here. They have supported the Y. M. C. A., and Athletics, as well as the College publications. Many of the men from the Preparatory classes during previous years, owe their suc- cess in life, in a way, to the things they have learned while Preps here. Though we sometimes have to brush up against difficult propositions, we know that this is what it takes to make a real man. When we reach the goal in the distance, we will have attained as much as any of those who have gone before. Many of our men will have fallen by the wayside no doubt, but men from the high schools over the state will come in to take their places. No doubt, our number will be increased during our Freshman year. The old Preps, however, will make their mark in life. Our journey seems long and toilsome, but ere long the time will come for us to leave the scenes of our many joys, pleasures, and hardships, and march off to fight life ' s battles.. We look forward with joy to that bright spring day in 191 6, when, with diplomas in hands, we will leave our dear old Alma Mater to take our places in the ranks of those who are doing great things for humanity. Historian. 124 - tt a J) Reveille- i®ig 1 gm 3 g The Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi. To whom it may concern : We, the Senior Class of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, being of sound mind and body, and being mindful of the fact that we are soon to leave forever the scene of our many joys and hardships, and wishing to compensate in some measure for our absence, do hereby make this our last will and testament. To Jack, our President, who has been largely responsible for the growth of this institution and for his great love for this institution, we give and bequeath: 1. All rights for the introduction of daily Chapel visitors who believe in this institution, in the work being done by this institution, in that which this institution stands for; who believe in the young manhood of Mississippi and its development through this institution. 2. The gratification of his wish that some day Jack, Jr., may stand out as the invincible southpaw and star quarterback on the A. M. diamond and gridiron. 3. A legislature which has higher aspirations than to create a Farmer ' s Union, and whose investigation committees have previously learned the difference between a radiator and an improved fire escape. To Billy, because of his ardent love for long Chapel speeches, we give and bequeath : 1. The sole right to limit speakers during Chapel to ten or fifteen minutes. 2. The possession of a patent chicken coop for the safe keeping of his Christmas turkey. 3. The privilege of caring for all executive business during the absence of the President. 4. The filing of all irregular and special schedules in his office. To Buzz, our enthusiastic athletic advisor, we leave: 1. The right to act in an insane manner, unbecoming a professor of his rank, whenever the A. M. shall defeat the University in football. 2. The exclusive right to monopolize all laughing of the faculty during Chapel. To Peter Parley, our eminent bull herder, we bequeath: 1. All brogan shoes made by the Hamilton Brown Shoe Company during the next decade. 2. A new laugh with which to laugh at his own jokes. To the Commandant for his strenuous attempts to make this a second West Point, we will and bequeath : 1. All green preps. 2. Faculty supervision as follows: right to report: Professor Hutchinson for crying and whining during Chapel, Fckie, for slipping into Chapel through the front way, Peter Parley, for continual lateness at Chapel exercises. 125 E Re BIULI l lfi T 3. All corporalships belonging to the Sophomores. To Eckie, ' for his tiresome efforts to make a suitable garden out of the campus, we leave : 1. All steam shovels, scrapers, and other grading implements in Mississippi. 2. The right to move all dirt back to its original place at such a time as he sees fit. To Pap, for his untiring assistance toward promotion and settlement of stu- dent clubs and organizations, we leave: 1. A text-book which sets forth his views on all economical problems. 2. The privilege of holding special examinations for all students deficient in de- partment of History and Civics. As a token of kind remembrance and not wishing to slight, we give and bequeath to: Ard, radiators that will radiate rather than refrigerate. Critz, a slot machine well stacked with gum, and from which he may obtain an occasional fresh supply. Sissy, exclusive rights to exclaim, Crystal Violets, whenever angry. Bully, the sole right to impersonate Happy Holligan at Chapel exercises. Campbell, five gallons of water wrom the fountain of youth that he may drink thereof and renew his energy. Stark, the exclusive right to use the floor as a blackboard. Simon, a standing invitation to all dances, regardless of special invitations. In our great and earnest consideration for those who will attempt to fill our place, we give our bequeath : To the Juniors, our special uniforms and nerve enough to get them. Also a class team that can win a championship. To the Sophomores, that unity of class spirit which is sadly lacking to the Juniors. And nerve enough to take the punishment awarded by the Commandant and Faculty. To the Freshmen, a view of that new modernly equipped gymnasium which will be erected in 19 — . To the Preps, a special rural high school to be provided by a Mississippi Legislature. Believing that the Mississippi Legislature of 191 2 should be rewarded for the services they have done this College in trying to cut out the Prep department, de- creasing appropriations at the expense of the young men of the state who are attempt- ing to get an education, and in other ways trying to remodel the state government to suit their own individual taste: and recognizing the ability of said body to economize and at the same time make each thankful for what he receives, we name the Missis- sippi Legislature of 19 12 as sole executors. Class 191 2 I S lh RE BILL l©l g P ' Thinking of You Far from these studies, tired mind, Why art thou back- ward roaming? To smiling face and love so blind, And evenings lost in gloaming. Little knew I then it could not last, The harvest moon was gleaming, From present loves these thoughts fly past, O!! heaven, ' tis joy a dreaming. I wonder ' d if you think of me, E ' en on some lonely evening. Perhaps another sweetheart, she ; Could love to be so deceiving? I knew not then what ' twas to part, You sigh ' d as I was leaving. In vain Fve searched for truer heart, None yet, I think believing. There in that night ' s departing whirl, Embrass ' d in the moon-strewn path, Fare-well to you, my true loved pearl, This longing is after-math. N ' Importe, ' 12. 127 IhB- REV IIvIyB- 10 Yearning I wonder why I yearn to-night, For one that ' s far away. It ' s not for my hearth-side bright, Though there I loved to stay. It ' s for a girl with auburn hair, And eyes of darkness brown. Her voice chimes sweet, her face is fair, Her brow knows not a frown. With all these qualities, and — love, Which doth her beauty crown; In manner gentle as a dove: To such all must bow down. I would that I could be to-night, With her, mine own ideal. Perhaps, a porch with moon-light bright, Then, to make things real. NTmporte, ' 12. 128 COL. MUSGRAVE 129 no 131 132 133 134 !£ !£ Company A OFFICERS Rothe, C. Captain Thrower, T. B. . . . . . . . .

The state has seen fit to debar frats at this institution, and, induced by the laws of human nature, — to have some social function wherever we go — there has been organized in the student body three special military companies, viz: — The Sabre Company, Lee Guard, and George Rifles. The Sabre Company is composed of members of the Senior Class only, and the drill is with the saber. The Lee Guard and George Rifles are composed of members of the student body who have been connected with the school for one year, and who have qualities to suit the demand of these organizations. Their drills is with the rifle and consists chiefly of fancy stunts. ' Thus the purpose of these companies is more than to create a social organization, for while each has its social functions, including the annual ball for each, there is a great benefit to be derived from the short drills, to which the members are glad to give a little of their spare time each day. These organizations, under the proper manageme nt, are a source of benefit to the members as well as a credit to the college, and should hold the esteem of both the faculty and student body. 176 101 The Last Run of Tom Calhoun Now, my boy, said Dr. Covington, turning to Tom Calhoun, the engineer on the Dixie Flyer, You have one chance in fifty of reaching St. Louis in time to save this young lady ' s life, and I believe you have the grit and nerve to do it. Tom reached over and threw two switches and the big gyroscope wheels began to revolve, for the Dixie Flyer was a monorail train and a fast one, at that. Well, ' Doc, ' he said, as they shook hands, I ' ll do my best, but be sure and have a clear track for me. Again Tom threw a switch, and the ponderous train slid easily from between its supports and sped away on the fastest run of its career. Calhoun was a fine, manly fellow of about twenty-three. But, although young in years, he was old in experience. He came from a fine old Southern family, but soon after he had finished his college education, his parents died, leaving him to support his two younger sisters. As soon as he had settled up the estate, which to tell the truth, was not very large, he went north and secured a position in the electrical department of the St. Louis and Southern, a monorail line. From this point he had gradually worked up to the posi- tion of engineer of the Dixie Flyer, the pride of the line. Since this position paid a good salary, Tom was able to live comfortably and dress nicely, as well as support his sisters. But, although they were a great draw back to him, he loved them none the less for it, as he realized that it was not their fault and that it was his business to care for them. As the monorail gathered speed, Tom ' s thoughts turned to Esther Wade, his lone passenger. Esther was the daughter of Howard Wade, the president of the road, and he was also a mighty steel magnate. I know, soliloquized Tom, that I love Esther better than anything on earth and I believe she cares for me, but old Wade has drawn the line on engineers. The last engineer of this old trolly car was a sentimental young cuss, and tried to get fresh with Esther. So as long as yours truly is an engineer, there ' s nothing doing in the marrying line. Tom ' s soliloquy was broken off by a sharp report from one of the motors that drive the big gyroscopic wheels. In an instant Tom was bending over the motor, searching, with a practical idea, for the brake. Slowly and almost imperceptable, one of the big wheels began to slacken its pace and the car began to lean to one side. In his excitement, Tom went over the motor twice before he discovered the trouble. He was so excited that he had overlooked the big carbon brushes, and he now found one of these broken off within the holder. With a frantic effort, Tom forced the carbon and holder so as to touch the contract point, the commutator. Quickly he ran to the other end of the car to get a fresh carbon from his supply box, but to his dismay, he found it empty — the careless assistant had forgotten to fill the box. Now Tom began to tremble all over and the cold sweat broke out all over his face. The monorail was leaning more and would soon loose its balance and Tom knew what would happen. He looked ahead with the hope of seeing one of the big supports which are placed at intervals along the track, in case of an accident that would disable the gyroscopes. Realizing that no help was to come from that quarter, he braced himself for the crash. But instead of a crash there came a sharp noise as if a hard substance had fallen and struck the floor. Tom merely glanced in the direction of the sound, but that glance brought him to life. With difficulty he crawled along the sloping floor, passed the open door of the car and seized the object which had fallen to the floor — it was an 177 191 old dusty but perfectly good carbon. It had been laid across a rafter in the ceiling, and owing to the slant of the car, had slipped from its support. It required the work of an instant to adjust the carbon, and the disabled gyroscope began to revolve with renewed energy. Tom was by no means a saint, but he had no sooner fixed the carbon, than he got down upon his knees and thanked God for his Esther ' s deliverance. Tom now put his whole soul into the race and two hours later the Dixie Flyer - ' pulled into St. Louis. Thirty-two minutes ahead of the fastest record. Esther was hurried to a sanatorium. Tom went home to try to collect his almost shattered nerves. Twice that evening he sent to the sanatorium to find out about Esther ' s condition, but both times he got unsatisfactory reports. The next morning, when he awoke, Tom found a note from President Wade, re- questing his presence at the president ' s office. When he was admitted, he was sur- prised to find the Vice-President and board of directors seated around a large table. Now, Mr. Calhoun, said the president, You will please tell us the incidents of your trip and how you managed to break the records set by your rival road, the N. O. E. Tom faithfully related the details and laid great stress upon the lucky fall of the carbon, and was modest enough to only touch lightly upon the latter part of the run. When he had finished, the President rose and said: Gentlemen, you know what Mr. Calhoun has done for the road and now I will tell you what he did tor me. When the ' Flyer ' left Memphis I received a message from Dr. Covington, who is a personal friend of mine, which reads as follows: ' Dear Wade, have just put your daughter on ' Dixie Flyer. ' Believe Calhoun will make it. ' Well, gentlemen, he did make it, and my daughter is now doing nicely. I move that we make Mr. Calhoun the manager of our electrical department, and I hope you will see fit to act on this motion. The motion was voted on and defeated by one vote. When the meeting was over, Tom turned with a sad heart, not so much because his promotion had failed, but be- cause he was still an engineer, and, as such, he could not hope to win Esther. As he turned to go, he felt a hand laid on his shoulder. My boy, said the deep voice of Mr. Wade, I regret the failure of that motion more than you do, for I not only wanted you in the plant, but I also wanted that fellow Taylor out. Now, boy, and the deep voice quivered a little as he spoke, I can never thank you for what you have done for me, but my daughter who is now entirely out of danger wishes to thank you for both of us. Tom flushed with pleasure at this un- expected opportunity to see Esther, and as he started for the sanatorium, he heard Wade call, By the way, Tom, I forgot to tell you that I have withdrawn my decree against engineers. And Tom bound down the steps, feeling ten years younger. H. M. W., ' 14. 178 179 i8o FOOTBALL 181 1A6 UDCR. 1 82 1 83 1 84 Looking back over the past Football Season, we have just cause to be proud of the team which wore the Maroo.i and White. Too much praise cannot be given to our coaching staff and players who, in spite of all discouragement and hard luck, in form of sickness and injuries of the members of the team, made the season the most successful in the history of the College. At the beginning of the season the defeat we had suffered the year before was still in the mi:d of everyone, and the energy of the coaches, as well as that of the players, was utilized to develop a team that would be able to defeat our old rivals, Mississippi University. We had the good fortune to have most of the old team back, Williams, Jennings, Allen, Rhodes, Ellard, Cole, and Mills formed the nucleus, from which, with the addition of Kimball, Magee, Wells, and Cooper, the coaches developed a fighting machine which held its own against any of its opponent;. It is true, victory not every time Lodge d in our camp. Auburn a:d Tulane de- feated us, but both times the causes of our defeat can be traced back to conditions which were beyond the control of the coaches or players, each time some of the regulars were substituted by subs on account of sickness. We opened the sea;on by playing Mississippi College. The victory was an easy one for us, but the game brought out the fact that our team was on the road to suc- cess. A week later we defeated S. P. U. and, on the 20th of October, the entire stu- dent body went to Columbus to see, in company of the I. I. C. girl-, our team play Alabama. This was the first real football game of the season, and although in some respects the game was a disappointment, it gave the team a chance to discover faults and defects, and study out remedies for the future. The next game was against Auburn in Birmingham. In this game the team proved that they could play ball. After having been defeated in the first few minutes of the game, our men pulled together, and not only held their own against their heavy- opponents, but also for the first time in our football history an A. M. player crossed Auburn ' s goal line for a touchdown. After Auburn, we played L. S. U. at Gulfport. The Louisiana Tigers went into the game with the grim determination to take revenge for a past defeat. But A. M. proved to be too much for the Tigers ' strength. We defeated them in a very hard fought game, in which Williams, Ellard, and Mills sustained injuries which pre- vented their taking part in the game against Tulane, which, in consequence of the crippled condition of our team, defeated us. However, by the time the last game of the season was to be played, all players were in excellent condition. They left for Jackson in high spirits, and the result of the game showed that our confidence was not misplaced. We beat University of Mississippi by a score of 6 to o, and won the championship of the state. Football Scores September 29 Mississippi College .... 6 October 7 S. P.

The season opened with three games with Auburn, and although the series went to Auburn, our team showed strength, and gave promise for success in future games. We next played Mississippi College in Jackson. We lost one game, won one, and forfeited the last one in the eighth inning with a score of two to nothing in our favor. After these games our team returned home for good hard practice in prepara- tion for a trip to New Orleans, Jackson, and Tuscaloosa where Tulane, Millsaps, and University of Alabama were played. The trip was a successful one, A. M. winning the series from Tulane and Millsaps, but losing to U. of A., two games out of three. The next games were with Mississippi College on the Campus. A. M. made a clean sweep of the series. It was in these games that A. M. showed Mississippi College that their dreams of State — or probably Southern Championship — were pipe dreams. Next came L. S. U. to cross bats with A. M. This being the last series L. S. U. had to play, they were determined to take it, but they fell before A. M. just as Mississippi College had done. The next victims of our team were the repre- sentatives of Cumberland. They came with the same dreams and expectation the other teams had done, and returned under the same conditions, — beaten. Now we were prepared for our last series, the one upon which the success or failure of our entire season depended. It was with our old rival, U. of M. The first two games were played on Hardy Field, and the last one at Gulfport. The red and blue came over with their spirits high, expecting to mop up with us, but we were determined to have revenge for the treatment we received from their hands the previous Thanksgiving Day at Jackson, so A. M. ended this eventful season by dropping only one of the games to U. of M., thereby winning the championship of the state for the year, igio- ' n. 190 igi - - lhE-REVBILD img sggg B AS K ET BALL The Basketball Season of ign- ' i2 will long be remembered by the supporters and the believers in the Maroon and White, for it was in this season that our team defeated every team it met. We began our record breaking season by defeating Mississippi College in two games on the Campus. These games were well played and very exciting. The next team to arrive on the Campus was Union University, but they were easily beaten both games. The last two of the home games were a splendid exhibition of basketball. These games were played with L. S. U. The Louisiana Tigers had beaten University of Mississippi in two games, so they thought we would be Easy Money, but in both of the games we were victorious. The winning of these games put us ahead of U. of M. for the championship of the state. After t he games with L. S. U., A. M. went on the road for three games, or.e with Millsaps at Jackson, and two with Mississippi College at Clinton. As we were victorious in those games, we are the undisputed champions of Mississippi.

Third Magill Venerable 196 TRACK TEAM 197 - j ThE RE E-ILLE- l ia ssgagr- CLASS FOOTBALL CLASS football at A. M. has always been famous for its keen rivalry, hard fought games, and manly sportsmanship. Seldom in its history has a team scored more than one touchdown over an opponent, and often the two strongest teams have battled each Saturday almost into the baseball season, only to have the matter decided by a streak of luck, or the flipping of a coin. This season the rivalry has been as keen as ever, but the victories have been more decisive. This year a famous tradition of eleven years standing has been dispelled and scattered to the four winds of Oktibbeha County. As far back as history, Elder, and Billy diary can remember the Junior Class always won the championship, but the Junior Class of ' 13 failed to uphold the tradition. It has been a seasonal surprise and sad tragedy of the four to one bet. Class football has done a great deal for ' Varsity . Such wearers of the M ' as Head Ellard, Bob Gilleland, Pewee Mills, Cub Allen, and many other noble players got their start in football. In the first game of the season, the husky Juniors rightly expected to win from the recruited Senior team, but this dream was dispelled by the first work of Squire Jones, and the miniat ure wandering Jew, — the Senior quarterback, and transformed into a 0-0 tie. The work of the Junior captain and of several other members of each team, showed ability. The Junior team should have won the game, as it was composed of heavier and more experienced men, but that very necessary quality, known as team work, was missing. Later the Seniors with- drew from the race, as their desire for glory was satisfied by their performance of a year ago. The Freshman-Sophomore game was the most astonishing of all, in this game the over confident Freshmen were swept off their feet by the fast Sophomores back field. They gave the best exhibit of speed ever witnessed here in a class game. They worked the onside-kick and forward pass successfully. The championship game after innumerable postponements was finally played off on one balmy afternoon in February. Both teams had valuable men out of the game, but the recruits went into the game to pay for it. It was almost an exact reproduc- tion of the Freshman-Sophomore game. The Sophs scored both their touchdowns in the first quarter, just as in the previous game, after that the game was hard fought, with honors almost even. Far into the dead hours of that historical Saturday night, the witches came from the dark blue cedar trees and the murmuring haunts of the hills, and with their legendary steeds of cobweb ruhses and white wash they did the brazen deed. Old Sol disclosed the waking campus in huge letters on the Tank, the story of the game. u PC 2 2Z £ IZ 5 £H U u a. c ,E i.

We have a lovelorn fellow in our midst who has been sadly wrecked recently by the refusal of a young girl to whom he has been pay- ing attention for more than a year. It is seldom he will sing ; but when he does, it is enough to draw tears from one unused to weeping. The noisy party assembled on time at the appointed place, and were gayly chatting and laughing, when a tall cadet, whose peculiar face and air instantly arrested attention, entered the room. He was very pale, with that clear, vivid com- plexion, which dark-haired consumptives so often have; his locks were black as jet, and hung profusely upon his square shoulders ; his eyes were very large and spiritual, and his brow was such as a poet might have. One or two thoughtless lads laughed as they whispered that he was love-cracked, but the rest of the boys treated him with respectful deference. It was rather late in the evening when singing was proposed, and to ask him to sing Annie Laurie was a task of uncommon delicacy. One song after another was sung, and at last that one was named. At its mention, the young, slick-faced cadet, who was now the center of attention, grew deathly pale, but he did not speak; he seemed instantly to be lost in reverie. The name of the girl who treated him so badly was Annie Laurie, ' said naughty Tom, whispering to his spellbound colleagues. But oh! I wish he would sing it; nobody else can do it justice. No one dares to sing Annie Laurie ' before you, Jack, said elderly Sherbrum. Would it be too much for me to ask you to favor the boys with it? he asked timidly. He did not reply for a moment, but his lips quivered ; and, then, looking up as if he saw a spiritual presence, he began. Every soul was hushed, — it seemed as if his voice was the voice of an angel. The tones seemed to vibrate through every nerve, pulse, and heart, and made one shiver with the pathos of his feeling. Never was heard melody like that, in a human voice, — so plaintive, so soulful, so tender and earnest. He sat with his head thrown back, his eyes half closed ; his locks of hair glisten- ing about his pale temples; his fine throat swelling with the rich tones, his hands lightly folded before him. And as he sung, And ' twas there that Annie Laurie Gave me her promise true, lie shook from head to foot with emotion. Many a lip trembled ; and there was no jesting, no laughing, but instead, tears were in more than one eye. And on he sang, and on, holding every one in rapt attention through the last verse, Like dew on the gowan lying Is far fa ' of her fairy feet, And like the winds in summer sighing Her voice is low and sweet, Her voice is low and sweet, And she ' s a ' the world to me. He paused before he added, And for Annie Laurie I ' d lay me down and dee. There was a long and solemn pause. The black locks seemed to grow blacker ; the white temples whiter, almost imperceptibly the head kept falling; the eyes close shut. One boy glanced at another; all seemed awe stricken, ' till the same person who had urged him to sing laved his hand gently on his shoulder, saying: Jack! Jack! Then came a hush — a thrill of horrow crept through every frame — the poor, tired heart had ceased to beat. Jack, the love-betrayed, was dead. Easy, ' 12. 204 Organizations 205 S ggSfe RB BILLB IQlA gSsa The Honor System The A. M. student body, during the latter part of the session of igio- ' ll, accomplished, in the face of a great many besetting difficulties, a thing which shall ever stand as a perpetual monument to its integrity of Power and Purpose, — the Honor System. Mr. Lindley, our efficient Y. M. C. A. secretary of last year, had agitated this movement throughout his connection with the college, and with the co-operation of a few earnest-minded students, he succeeded in getting here Dr. W. D. Weatherford, the Genertal Student Secretary of the south, to help in the agitation and establishment of this movement. Dr. Weatherford came, and with him the vitality of deep-seated and powerful conviction of right, which swept everything before him in his plain, business- like and masterful appeals to the students. He presented and urged upon them the necessity of an Honor System in any college. A vote on the question was taken by the classes, the Senior class of that year taking the initiative. It was unanimously carried and adopted by each of the five classes. Under this system the students are placed upon their honor to do the right thing in all things. Though its mission, primarily, includes only the prevention of cheating on examinations, recitations and written tests, it is also believed that when firmly- rooted, the other evils that mingle within the midst of our college life will be eradi- cated. The Honor System is controlled by a council committee which consists of five members, two from the Senior class, one of which is the chairman, and one each from the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes. The committee this session is composed of F. D. Thomas, Chairman, J. M. Langston, P. E. Roper, G. L. Craw- ford, and H. F. Causey. It is the duty of the council to investigate and pass judgment upon all cases re- ported to them. Any Cadet, regardless of class, who is found guilty by the council will be asked to withdraw from college, with the privilege of appealing to the faculty if the Cadet thinks that he lias not received justice. If a Cadet refuses to comply with the request of the council he will be dismissed by the faculty. Some have argued that the system conflicts with military discipline, but this has been proven fallacious. By their own free will, the students have accepted it, and the claim that the harm that the Honor System works when the power of the system is lost through negligence, is without justification. The system has worked ever since its establishment, and has continued to receive the support of every class in college, as well as the faculty. Each student is on his honor to see that no one cheats within his ob:ervations, though he is not required to act as a spy, but to report any case that he may chance to see. A new era has dawned, and in it we see a brighter, happier and more honest future for the intellectual ability of the students of the A. M. College. 2of Y. M. C. A. Fitzgerald, R. H. . Varnado, H.

A. holds quite an enviable place among the col- lege associations of the South. It is true that the percentage of students enrolled as members of the association and as members of Bible and Mission study classes may not be as high as that of some other colleges, but when the number of students in attendance here, and the difficulty in reaching each one of them individually, is con- sidered it must be conceded that we have a fairly strong association. There is no doubt but that the Y. M. C. A. has been a great factor for good here. This is especially true of our bi-weekly prayer meetings. It seems that in these prayer meetings, more than any where else, we have gotten closer to God, and that He is more real to us. We have always had good attendance at these meetings and we believe that it is due to the lack of all formality and cant, and to a feeling of the Divine Presence of God. Surely, there is nothing like prayer if we would actually commune with God. We have not had an evangelical campaign this year because of many unavoidable reasons, but hope to hold a real live one next session. While we haven ' t had this evangelical campaign, we have enjoyed very much listening to several good addresses, and I am sure that we are all the better because of having heard them. We do hope and pray that the Y. M. C. A. will continue to grow from year to year in its power to influence the lives of the e in attendance here for the good, and to draw men and bovs closer to CHRIST. 207 1£ 12 Members of the Dialectic Literary Society for the Session 1911-1912 Anthony, J.

We have clubs and societies of every kind in which groups of students of mutual characteristics band together, and for the time indulge in activities which give them the much needed recreation and make them forget the monotonous routine of academic work and duties. Beginning with the organizations which have an educational purpose, we may mention the four literary societies. The members of these are men who desire to develop their oratorical talents, for the training of which the College Curriculum does not provide. The Engineering Club, Agricultural Club, Textile Club, and Educa- tional Club consist of Junior and Senior Engineering, Agricultural, Textile, and Educational students. The aim of these clubs is to bring their members in closer con- tact with the problems in the held of work in which they receive their training, and which they intend to make their life ' s work. Besides the regular Military Organization we have three special Companies, the Sabre Company, consisting of members of the Senior Class, the George Rifles, and the Lee Guard. The purpose of these Companies is to make their members profficient in the use of sabre and rifle, while at the same time the social side is taking care of by giving several dances and entertainments during each session. The German and Junior Club take care of those students who have the inclina- tion for dancing. We also have County Clubs organized by the boys from the different counties of the state. In the meeting of these clubs the boys of one count}- meet each other, become better acquainted, and try everything that is in their power to help each other. 214 215 E Re BIUDB 1 12 Reflector Board EDITORS J.

J. 263 gS J! iE REW3ILL 1@1 THE GREY EYE Misery and Wretchedness walk silently in multiform array throughout the dreary confines of the earth ; Sorrow and Despair, stealthily, slowly, — but surely — gather about them their sepulchral habiliments of woe and utter ruin, and intercept with white, bloodless, and quivering fingers, the paths of men. Death, red-handed with the hot, spluttering, seething gore of the innocent, stalks uninterruptedly with upraised hands of evil, sin, and glaring, fiendish eyes of remorseless and unconquerable hate, about the souls of the Good and Just. My Christian name is Pierre ; that of my family, I will not mention. Suffice it to say, that my ancestral line is a long one, reaching far back into antiquity, those days when every man was the other ' s enemy. My father, I never knew, dying before my birth ; my mother, so good, so pure and gentle, died as I was approaching my seventh year. I was left to the tender care and solicitude of my only relative, an old uncle, who had lived for several years aloie with his only daughter, Lorene. My uncle was rich, and like nearly all old, rich men, he lived in almost seclusion. Morose, silent, and very reserved, he sat locked within his darkened library throughout the day, never allowing the entrance of anyone, save his own servant. From some unaccountable reason, my uncle seemed to take a great fancy to me almost immediately upon my arrival. He took me into his library, this hitherto un- approachable and mysterious den of the beast, as his neighbors termed it, and there would keep me for hours, never permitting me to speak or move from the deep- cushioned chair in which he invariably placed me. Of course, this proved to be very irksome to me, my child ' s nature rebelled, and often, I would make a futile and in- glorious attempt to escape through the locked door and carefully barred windows, only to be watched more closely in the future by his ever furtive eyes. Slowly, very slowly, I became reconciled to my uncontrollable Fate ; a kind of settled stoicism came over me; all throughout the day and far into the night I would sit almost immovable be- fore the continual, slowly flickering fire, studying the rugged and harsh features of my uncle. When my relative had seemingly convinced himself that I had become reconciled to my position, he would give me a book, commanding me in no very pleasant tone to read to him. For the first time, I found out the character of bis studies. Rooks on psychology, metaphysics, theosophy, and spiritualism ere. and had been his constant companions for these many years. The verv soul of these mvstic authors, from the ancient writings of Joseph de Glanville in his Mysteries of the Will, to the modern Dr. Hudson in his Laws of Psychic Phenomena, he had imbibed until thev had be- come an essential part of him. With creat care, he would explain these almost un- fathomable passages, until T could repeat in my own lanpuaee, the meam ' ne conveyed bv the author. This was always followed bv a Ion? discourse upon the mysteries of life, always ending with the words: Youna man, the eye is tlv seat of the will and the transmitter of thoughts. Remember! For fifteen years. I had studied in this manner under the neverceasine super- vision of mv old uncle. I had Gradually acquired his characteristics, his attitude, — in fact, his thoughts were mine in every respect. I nmed o lonp-er with voutbful enthusiasm for the beautiful out of doors, the srlorious sunshine, or the communion of mv fellow man. T irrew morose, sad, and despondent of life a T had formerly known it, — but T reioiced in mv bitterness. The a T e of twe tv-two fou d me a weak, pale, dejected and bitter, but mystically intellectual, old man. I had never seen Lorene but once. Tt was the dav that I had arrived at this, my 264 1012 future home, that I saw and spoke to her for the first time, — this beautiful and gentle girl of twelve. With child-like awe and perfect amazement, 1 had looked upon her sweet, spiritual face, so pure and angelic in its contour. With silent — almost noise- less — steps she had that day walked about the house with the old woman-servant, her governess. Her verv presence, her low, even, quiet voice sounded as distant, hushed music to my ears, and her cold, clear, almost crystal-like gray eyes with their electric rays, seemed to penetrate my inmost soul in their intensity. Deep were the impressions that were made upon me that day by this girl, m hitherto unknown cousin. For a long time afterwards, even after my conciliation to the absurdities and eccentricities of my old relative, her father, I could hear with vivid and lurid imagination that beautiful, music voice, it seemed to be in everything that I heard. When awake or sleep, I could see those old, piercing, crystalline eyes; they seemed to my highly excited imagination, to be watching me in every movement that I made. Lorene was never allowed within her father ' s library and apartments; I was never allowed outside of them. Years past — and I forgot my cousin, the day of my arrival was to me as only a hazy and very indistinct dream. I lived and grew within my own domain of thoughts; she in hers; my nature developed into a something fiendish and heinous; hers, in an atmosphere of love and purity, grew into a something sublime in its ethereal essence. 1 was as a demon cast upon the rugged and chaotic rocks of intellectuality; she was as an intangible divine spirit; gently floating through space on the effulgent, spiritual pinions of sacred love. My uncle was now approaching his seventieth birthday; — steadily, slowly, but surely, he was fast approaching that goal, which through his long years of metaphysical study, he had attempted to avoid. Hut still his was an unchanged nature; morose, bitter, and sarcastic of life ' s realities, he grew more feeble and decrepit. However, his decreasing physical powers seemed only to stimulate his greater mentality. He now never permitted me a moment ' s rest throughout the day, — I was kept constantly reading to him and listening to his mystical discourses. His birtlulav arrived. That morning I assisted him from his bedroom to the li- brarj and gently placed him in his great arm-chair. I immediately went to a book case and took down a volume of Eliphas Levi ' s Transcendental Magic, his favorite morning study. To my surprise, he refused it; very tersely he commanded me to re- turn it to its place. I was more surprised when he told me to bring him a Bible, then motioned me to a seat. He apparently found, in a short time, that passage for which he was seeking. He soon laid the book down and sat gazing into the fire. For hours he sat — for hours he continued his meditations, never speaking nor deigning to notice me. Night was now drawing near, the sun was casting its last flickering rays through the low shrubbery in the lawn. Into the windows of the library and across the deeply carpeted floor, quaint, fantastic shadows were creeping, casting, as it seemed, a faint, ruddy-golden halo about the head of my aged uncle. For the first time, since he had requested the Bible, he spoke, quoting from Job : Then a spirit passed before my fare; the hair of my flesh stood up; it stood still, but 1 could not discern the form thereof; an image before mine eyes; there was silence! He paused and turned his glittering, almost maniacal eyes upon me; again he spoke : Young man, the spirit has passed ; for the first time in my existence, I have had fear; it did stand still, and there must be silence. I have to-day, lived the three score years and ten allotted to me by Him, who controlleth the destiny of all. To-night, I die. At twelve o ' clock, I shall have ceased to exist, it is decreed that I must return to that realm of immortal spirits from which I came. He paused, then I ventured to speak : 265 It is decreed, Uncle. Again, he spoke: All of mine is yours, young man. My daughter is yours. Pierre, it is my wish that you marry Lorene. You may not remember her ; that matters not. Listen! The eye is the seat of the will and the transmitter of thoughts. Remember! Again, I spoke: 1 will remember, Uncle. The sun sank; the shadows of evening crept about the gloomy and somber walls of the room. Night came on; the hours passed wearily away. I had been reading at times, during which 1 was trying to recall the day that I had seen Lorene. My uncle interrupted my thoughts: Pierre, it lacks only fifteen minutes of being twelve; ring for the woman, and tell her to bring Lorene hither. I did as 1 was bid, stoically, a mere automaton] under the will of my uncle, as I had been since childhood. Unhesitatingly, I rang for the old servant. In a few words, I told her, remaining seated without looking up; just as quickly the old woman re- turned, Lorene with her. The old man stretched forth his arms to his child: Lorene, my daughter, at twelve o ' clock my will ceases. This man, your cousin, must be your husband ; 1 must have your promise before that will ceases to exist. Young man, young woman, look upon each other. Slowly and steadily, 1 looked to where Lorene was standing; quietly — gently she turned her eyes upon me. With a shriek, wild piercing, and demoniacal, I fell shuddering back in my chair. remembered: it was still the same cold, crystalline gray eye that looked upon me. In a moment I had recovered my self-possession and almost unconsciously spoke : Uncle, your will is mine; Lorene shall be my wife. Almost in the same breath, the beautiful, the pure and gentle Lorene spoke: Father, your will is mine, my cousin will be my husband. The next day my uncle was buried ; at exactly twelve o ' clock, at the end of his seventieth birthday, in the presence of his only daughter and his nephew, he quietly passed away — his will had ceased to exist. On the next day, Lorene and I were married. We continued to live in her home, the only home that I had known; the only world of which she was cognizant. Happy indeed, were the days that we spent to- gether, in each other ' s presence. We had learned to love ; ardent, passionate and devoted were our mutual affections — our very souls were blended. Her purity, her love so divine, so sacred, seemed about to overcome my moroseness and almost fiendish hate of humanity. Her voice and presence enraptured me as it had done on that day when we had met as children. I felt as if I would give my soul for her, that I would have given ten thousand lives, had I possessed them, for her. There was only one thing that worried me, and continually marred my happiness, and that was — her gray eyes. I do not even remember of ever having looked her straight into those eyes ; — they were unbearable to me. This aversion to her eyes may have been the starting point, I do not know, — but our happiness was not long to con- tinue. In time, I came to feel that I did not need her, that she was in my way. I did not wish to tell her; — perhaps it was my uncle ' s will — I now avoided her as much as possible. For hours, I would sit alone in the library ; for hours I would sit and muse, pondering over my past and present. A kind of melancholia, more powerful than I h ad ever known, settled over me. I came to hate myself, a hatred as deep-seated as the hatred which I bore to all humanity. It was in one of these deep melancholy moods, that I was sitting in my arm- 266 1012 chair, on a dark and dreary night, before a slowly blazing fire in the library. Out side, the wind was roaring and howling; the rain was beating against the window panes, and lurid flashes of blue lightning came through the darkened room, casting ghost-iilce shadows upon the walls beyond. My thoughts seemed to partake of the character of the elements; violent and tumultous they swelled within my breast. 1 had not seen my wife for a week; I rarely gave her a thought, but when these thoughts did come, they were of the most intense hatred and bitterness. I was now thinking of her, a heavy clap of thunder reverberated through the dark and dreary- halls of the old house ; a flash of light played upon the portrait of my dead uncle, hanging upon the opposite wall. At this moment 1 heard a low creak of the door upon its hinges. Soft, muffled footsteps fell upon the carpet and gradually grew nearer my arm-chair. Gently, a hand was placed upon my shoulder ; softly a voice almost whispered the words: Pierre, do you still love me? Have I done anything that displeases you? What would you have me do? — 1 love you, my soul cries out for you in my loneliness, — why do you avoid me? 1 slowly turned my eyes from the fire into which I had so long been gazing, and looked towards my wife, standing at my side. Almost contrite, my hand sought hers ; words of repentance were coming to my lips, — I looked into tier calm and beautiful, but sorrow-stricken face, — full into her eyes! As an enraged and tormented lion springs upon his keeper, so I sprang with all of my might upon my wife. ' Tis the eye — the eye — the eye — the gray eyes! I screamed in satanic rage. Out of here, thou demoness of hell, out-out-out-out, or 1 shall kill thee! 1 again shrieked. Stupefied and fear-stricken, Lorene remained immovable in her tracks. Exasper- ated, I seized a dagger lying upon the mantel, and hurled it at her with all my strength, passing through the side of her left eye and shattering the portrait of her father on the other side. A jet of blood shot from her eye, and, as she quickly turned, a cross, ruddy and seething was formed upon the carpet. When she had reached the door, she turned, with her hand at her wounded eye, and spoke to me very calmly : Pierre, you have failed to remember, ' The eye is the seat of the will and tin transmitter of thoughts. ' I forgive you; I love you still. Wretched, more melancholy, I again took my seat and resumed my craze into the slowly dying fire. But the eye! — the eye! — everywhere I looked, I saw that despised gray eye. In the grate, on the floor, on the walls, I could see nothing but that eye, that ever-gleaming, that cold, crystalline gray eye. All throughout the dreary night, I paced the floor, I wrung my hands, cried, screamed, shrieked, — and still noth- ing but — that eye. I shut my eyes tight, I clenched my fingers until the nails sank deep into the flesh, — but still that ever-present eye was before my vision. I was going mad ! jfe Jfe JjfC j|£ jfc 3|£ jfe The next morning, the old serva nt came in and very briefly told me that my wife was dead, and that the body had been prepared for burial that day. Without a word, 1 motioned her out of the room, and sat down to my reflections. ■ • I was in my room, still sitting before the fire-place; the fire having long gone out. My clothes were wet, torn, and muddy ; my hair was wet and bedraggled. Near m chair there was a muddy spade and mattock; on the mantel was a case of surgeon ' s dis- secting instruments, which the officers had found on me with the tools near the grave of my exhumed wife. As I regained consciousness, I was silently and very steadily gazing first from the officers, who were examining the cross upon the carpet, to that of a large, crystal- like, gray eye which I held within my hand.

We wish a rule could be passed prohibiting the use of the same nick name by more than one Cadet, as this is a source of much annoyance at times. For instance. Doc S. and Doc T. were walking by the Chapel, arm in arm. when a lady called from the top of the steps: — Doc. won ' t you please tie my shoe-lace? As they did not know which one she meant, both responded to aid the lady in lur disiress. Perhaps you have noticed they don ' t speak to each other now. There ' s a reason. Ask Doc. LAU NDRY.
