To those who have assisted us in the publication of this book, we extend our heartiest thanks; and to the reader, we would say, that if this book is able to suggest, or if in later years it will be able to call to memory, either these events or the spirit that animated them; we will consider our untiring efforts not in vain, but crowned with glorious success. editors TO li?rtnr Hilltam Nelson, Secy. Y. M . C. A.; kind friend; able educator; who has always stood for truth and right; who has worked unceasingly to raise the standard of morality in this institution; who, by his masterly intellect, youthful jollity, indomitable spirit, and unselfish devotion to the students welfare, has exerted a pro- found influence to better the lives of the young men of this institution; as a slight memorial of our enduring admiration and affection, this the tenth volume of ' The Reveille is dedicated. Hector William Nelson Graduate of Textiles. • 111 honored subject ol this brief biographical sketch was born in Preston, m «| Lancashire, England, March 24, 1869. He is a member of the illustrious k J Nelson family of England and is a near relative of Britain ' s naval hero, Lord Nelson. Imbued with the family spirit, he desired to enter the Naval Academy at an early age, but circumstances were such that his ambition was impossible of attainment. Having an intense love for machinery, and taking the advice oi a Sunday school teacher, he entered the Harris Textile Institute. On completing the course in cotton manufacturing, he chose the cotton mill as a life work. The success attained is evidenced by the fact that in the mill where he worked he made a record for accuracy and speed in work that has never been equalled. Although he held a position not often attained by one so young, yet his strong desire to visit America caused him to leave this position and come to Taftsville, Conn., in 1892. Here he resided for five years. In 1897 he accepted a position as Professor of Power Weaving and Practical De- signing in Lowell Textile School, Lowell, Mass. This position he held for ten years, during which time he was engaged as an expert on textile patents and often was hired by the law courts as an expert witness. While in Lowell, Prof. Nelson wrote several books on textiles, which have since been used as text-books in all places in the world where textiles are taught. Previous to this time and since then he has been a large contributor to all the leading textile papers and magazines of the country. In the fall of 1907 he accepted a position as superintendent of the Nuse Mills, in Falls, N. C. He remained here for two and one-half years, being very active in Sun- day school and general welfare work, and a marked improvement in the morale of the people was evidenced. Finally returning to the North, he spent a few months in one of the largest mills in New England as designer. Then he accepted a position with the tariff board as special agent. The last day of 1911 saw Mr. Nelson on the campus as Professor of Weaving and Designing. In the textile building may be seen a rare piece of weaving in the form of a tablecloth with both state and college seal woven in it ; this cloth is the work of Mr. Nelson. In the fall of 1913 he became Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at this institution, and the result of his work may be seen on all sides by the advancement made in the social and religious life of the students. Since coming here he has had several opportunities of going out into larger fields, particularly in the cotton mill business; but not even the offer of double his salary has been reason sufficient to take him from us. Last year he was offered, by the Interna- tional Y. M. C. A. Committee, the position of organizing the Y. M. C. A. secretaries in the mill villages of the South. Knowing the mill conditions and the work needed to be done there, this was a strong appeal to let go unheeded. Prof. Nelson is a man of business affairs, having a great appreciation of the value of finance and its wise expenditure and a great capacity for executive and adminis- trative ability coupled with a well-balanced judgment. As a teacher he always pre- sented his subject in a clear, forcible manner and produced a vivid and lasting impres- sion on his pupils. His versatility is further attested by the fact that he is an all- round athlete, having been a member of rugby and soccer football as well as of cricket, gymnasium and track teams. Prof. Nelson is a man of high moral and religious char- acter. At the age of seventeen he began bis career of active Christian work by teaching a Bible class, and since then he has taken a leading part in all phases of religious work wherever he has been. As much to his self-sacrificing, untiring and able efforts as to any others is due the erection of the new Y. M. C. A. building on our campus. HECTOR WILLIAM NELSON ■ -. V PRESIDENT G. R. HIGHTOWER For three years Hon. G. R. Hightower has heen at the head of this institution, during which time he has accomplished much in beautifying the campus and the making of a greater A. M. He has put forth his noblest efforts in the development of agri- cultur al, mechanical and industrial conditions and has battled incessantly against ignor- ance in our state. His unselfish heart, his devotion to the highest ideals, his unfailing courtesy and his sterling businesslike qualities have won the lasting admiration of the student body, and in him each one will find a kind, true and sympathetic friend. in LOUIS FARRELL First Lieutenant, Ninth Infantry, U. S. A. Although this is Lieutenant Farrell ' s first year at this institution, his many ster- ling and noble qualities have won the enduring friendship and respect of all. While strictly military in his relations with the students, yet he has inspired a wholesome respect for and interest in the military feature of the college, and the discipline has been greatly improved. He is a very capable and efficient officer, and his influence has been most beneficial to the military department and to the college at large. He is always the same kind, hospitable, jovial friend, who relishes a joke and who has a bright smile and cheerful word for every one. 11 It ' . Officers of Administration and Instruction Hon. G. R.

Our class realized in its Freshman year that success depended entirely upon the use made of our opportunities while in college. We have, since that memorable fall (if 1 1, striven to excel all others in all phases of college activities. This is clearly shown in the history of the class. We have met with many adver- sities in these four years but, like a mighty army, have marched boldly to the front on all occasions, and as a result have claimed victory as ours. One great man has well said that History consisted of a narration of past events; it would be impossible to enumerate all the great things that the class of ' 15 has ac- complished in these four years. For this reason, the history of our class will be merely a summary. In our Freshman year, though green, yea verdant, we stood as one man. In spite of the fact that there were more than three hundred and fifty men in the class, a spirit of co-operation and unison prevailed, and every member of the class stood as one com- bined force, to do or die, and during these four years there has not been the slightest dissension. Even though this was our first year in college, we won class championship in baseball and entered the class games for football championship, only to be defeated by the heavy-weight eleven of the Sophomore class. We furnished two of the men for varsity football team, as well as seven of the scrub team. We all completed our fresh- man year, and returned to our several homes to await the opening of the next session, looking forward to the time that we would again be united as a band of brothers. In the fall of 1912, most of us returned with greater energy and vigor than the year before. Some of the members of our class were ambitious along military lines, and as a result were decorated with the stripes of a corporal. Those who were thus honored performed their duty with credit, both to themselves and to the institution. We made an enviable record this year in all phases of college work. In academic work, we were surpassed by none. We did great work in athletics, furnishing seven men for the varsity football team and five for baseball. We also made a good record in other forms of athletics, winning class championship in baseball. We now pass to our Junior year, with a somewhat more dignified air and as- sumed our duties, determined to make this year better than either of the preceding years. It was in this year that we realized our strength as men, both physically and mentally. We made a startling record in debating and other oratorical feats, as well as in athletics. We won class baseball, second place in football and basketball, as well as second place in college track meet. We were greatly handicapped this year in class athletics, due to the fact that we furnished six men for the varsity football squad and seven for the scrub team, as well as three men on varsitv basketball, and two men on baseball team. 78 Thus having spent four years spanning the deep chasms, and surmounting the rugged mountain of knowledge, we have climbed from uncultured Freshmen to dignified Seniors. Even though we have become, as some choose to call us, Dignified Seniors, our dignity does not exceed that of true gentlemen, and ere we have reached the so-called dignified stage, we will be making brilliant records in the several professions and oc- cupations which we have chosen as our life ' s work. It is in our senior year that we have reached our zenith as students. We have won for ourselves the name of the best all-round class for many, many years, and second to none in the history of the institu- tion. In academic work, we have met the requirements creditably; in athletics, we stand pre-eminently above the rest of the classes in the institution. We furnished eight men for the varsity football team, five men for varsity basketball, four for varsity base- ball, as well as winning class championship in football. We have lost many of our number in these four year s of college life, but there still remains enough of us to make the largest graduating class in the history of the institution. We are, as most seniors are, looking with pride to the day when we will receive our diplomas for which we labored so hard, but there will be mixed with that joy a sorrow . We realized that on this long looked for day we must part and pursue our several professions, and as a result the family which has for four years been so closely associated must be broken, perhaps never a ain to be reunited.

We have repeatedly tasted the bitterness of defeat as well as the sweetness of victory, and have learned from the ruthless teacher, Experience, the extreme value of perseverance. We are now approaching the open portal on this highway of our career, which leads into the apparently care-free world beyond. After having passed through that gate our road divides — one choice seeming broad and easy to travel, at the end of which is a beautiful mirage city. This one will be the fateful choice of some, who are ever in search of the mythical pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Let us sincerely hope that many will disregard this superficial attraction and instead will leave their foot-prints in the dust of the other road. From tradition, this one is more difficult to journey, but to the persevering traveler there lies at the end of this road that ultimate goal of all — Success. We started the new school year with renewed determination which was engendered by our work as Freshmen, and correlative to this, many resolutions pertaining to faith- ful study. But, true to precedent, most of these resolutions were of an ephemeral character. The Sophomores had representative teams in every branch of athletics, of which the entire class is proud. Although our record in football was not as deserving of com- mendation as some of the other teams, yet we redeemed ourselves in track and basket- ball. In this latter sport, the maroon and blue gave the Freshmen an exceedingly hot battle for first honors. But our most decided victory was in track — the Sophomores scoring more points than the total of the other three classes. Not only were we well represented on the athletic field, but we also had men who participated in all other branches of college activities. In debating and oratory, the Sophomores did their utmost, and besides winning the inter-collegiate debate with Millsaps at IVIoorhead, several worthy men upheld the class honors in society contests, as well as other competitions of words and wits. Nor was the social side of activites omitted, for there were a number of dances during the year which were well attended by men of the ' lb class. We were also repre- sented in the George Rifles and Lee Guards, both of which had several remarkable entertainments. To our worthy class president is due a large portion of the honor for the co- operative efforts. He assisted in arousing enthusiasm in athletics as well as in the other diversifications. Besides being a very popular fellow throughout the entire col- lege, he is an excellent athlete, and a very good student. We are now bonded together by many ties, which, it is to be hoped, will never be broken. With our evident prospects it would not require a soothsayer to prognosti- cate that the present Junior class will be one of merit. Although it is a laudable am- bition to strive for personal honor and glory, let us not forget that we owe allegiance to the body of which we are merely components. By maintaining our present standard of loyalty and fidelity throughout our Senior year, we will succeed in planting on oak of renown, which will withstand all the storms of criticism ; and the class of 1 16 will be one of which the entire college will be proud.

We assembled from all parts of Mississippi and various other states. But we all had one definite purpose fixed in our minds, namely: To complete our education, so that we might be better prepared to cope with the prob- lems of life. We came, eager to begin our duties and to participate in college life. Were we green? Yes, indeed. But now the greenness has worn off, and we need not now go to the Commandant and ask him for a skirmish line, on which to hang our wash. Underneath that greenness gems of sterling quality have been brought to light — • a little rough, perhaps, but all that is needed is a bit of polishing, and for this we are now working. Undaunted by the mountain of work, and by the many obstacles to be mastered, we entered into our work diligently and cheerfully. We discharged our duties to the best of our ability, and we went home last June, at the close of the session, feeling that we had accomplished something worth while. In athletics, we have proved to be a great help to our school. In the two years of our enrollment at A. M. College, we have furnished to the varsity football squad four men who have proved very valuable in the gridiron battles. We have also furnished numerous men for work on the scrub squad. During th e session of ' 13 and 14, seven of our number were chosen as varsity baseball men, while others did serviceable work on the scrub baseball squad. Others have distinguished themselves in basketball and in track work. In Inter-class Athletics, we exhibited our athletic prowess by capturing, in our Freshman year, the championship football game from the Class of ' 15. During this same year, we sent the Class of ' 15 down in defeat for the basketball championship. The tank proclaimed these victories, to the passing masses, by a ' 17 of blue and grey. Hut the session of 1913-14 was just the beginning of our college career, and the termination of that session brought us but one-fourth of the distance toward the realization of our ambition — the Diploma. But September, 1914, found the majority of us again n the campus, eager to resume our duties, and to those of our class who failed to answer Here at roll call, we take this opportunity to express our regrets of your absence, and to say that the places you occupied in this class are vacant. We wish to extend to those who have joined us since our Freshman year, and who have so admirably discharged class duties, a most hearty welcome. This year is a fitting test fnr our stamina, as the Sophomore year is the hardest year of our college course. But the hand of ambition is beckoning us onward, and we are applying ourselves to respond to this call. We have two more years before we bid farewall to A. M. College. Then the real battle of life begins for most of us. Next year is our Junior year and we hope to see our class represented next September by every man who is now numbered among us. He here, fellows, to radiate health, cheerfulness, calmness, courage and good will. ox JreC . s 1 1 ' ? ?

S. l ' U Freshman Class History N COMPILING the record of the Class of 1918, we neither find it ex- pedient or advantageous to invoke the assistance of the all-wise Minerva and the skillful Calliope, nor shall we resort to the practice of appealing to augurs and interagents as so many historians have done. Further, we feel it quite unnecessary for us to make any statement concerning the future of the Class of ' 18; suffice it to say that we intend to make it the greatest class of all time! We prefer, however, to point to our achievements of the past year, as the first proud monument erected to our advancement in the field of learning. At all events, we deem it vise in Trench, who said: Speak hut little and well if you would be esteemed as a man of merit. When we entered college in the fall of 1914, we were naturally unenlightened in many phases of college life. However, as time rolled on its ceaseless course, and we became more and more accustomed to our surroundings, we lost the novitiate feeling which first accompanied us; we came to look upon A. M. as our own, taking more interest in its general welfare. From day to day, we gathered much knowledge in the vast fields of endeavor; and in the different courses, the Class of 1918 has made its mark upon the sands of time, for each of us can say with Tennyson, I am a part of all that I have met. While it is true that we have met with some reverses in our brilliant first year ' s career, namely, that of the gridiron, we still feel that we have good reasons to be- lieve that we fought a good fight; also, that with another year ' s experience, we should be able to conquer even the strongest of our adversaries, since Success treads on the heels of ever} ' right effort. In the classroom, we attacked with fearlessness and determination all problems that confronted us. The detestable geometry, the irksome themes, and the tedious drawings fell, alike, before the onslaught of our perseverance. The small number of failures in the recitation room is sufficient proof of this. Let us state further that we con- sider that Education can conduct us to that enjoyment which is at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity; and we consider success in this feature of college activities of more honor than any athletic victory; for knowledge getting is the primary object of college life. We also feel proud of the fact that many of our classmates are becoming prominent in the field of oratory; many are young Gladstones of America. Some of our number 1(15 will no doubt occupy niches in the hall of fame. Already their flowery eloquence and ability to argue in the literary societies has caused them to be feared by the upper- classmen. So it is that Our deeds determine us as much as we determine our deeds. The foregoing is but a brief resume of the many deeds of the unsurpassed and unexcelled Class of 1918, but in expressing it, we feel, as Pope does, that There is a majesty in simplicity that is far above the quantities of wit. To set forth tin- many virtues and gallant deeds of the individual members would take volumes. Yet in passing we should like to sa} that all our associates will remember us as the class of classes, unconquered and unrivaled. Then, without further efforts towards nar- ration, and with an appreciation of Kipling, we shall conclude: Now, if we could win to the Eden Tree where the Four Great Rivers How, And the wreath of Eve is red on the turf, as she left it long ago ; And if we could come where the sentry slept and softly scurry through, By the favor of God, we might know as much as our father Adam knew.

Director of Athletics Chadwick did not per- sonally coach football this season but de- voted his time to the financial affairs of the Athletic department. By capable man- agement, he was able to float the Association through an unfavorable year. 16 ' , 1 1 L 1LJ L-,, ,  .| Football Summary HE 1915 football season, which has now become a matter of history, was, on the whole, a very satisfactory one for A. M. With probably one exception, the game with Auburn, the team played up to form and in a consistent manner. The return of nearly all of the 1913 squad, together with the addition of Ellard and Kimball, who had starred in 1911 and 1912, made the prospects at the opening of the season look exceedingly bright. Most of the men had spent the summer in the wheat fields or other out door work, and reported for the first practice in splendid physical condition. The opening game with Marion Military Institute resulted in an easy victory for A. M., 54-0. On a very muddy field, the following week, the Bull Dogs administered a terrible drubbing to Cumberland University; score, 77-0. In spite of the heavy condition of the gridiron, the A. M. backs gained almost at will, anil the contest was a very one-sided affair. The two easy victories probably laid the foundation for a slight feeling of over- confidence. The third game, against Kentucky State University, was a disappointing feature, in that it resulted in defeat for the Aggies. The long trip, a night on the sleeper, poor officiating and costly fumbling all contributed to the downfall of the Maroon and White in this contest. The work of the Kentucky backfield and the great fight that their whole team put should not be discounted. Only one week following the Kentucky trip, the A. M. warriors faced their ancient rivals, Auburn. Coming just after a hard, long trip, and with several of the players suffering from injuries received in Kentucky, this game proved another severe disappointment to the loyal supporters as well as to the team. The first half was decidedly in favor of A. M., but in the second round several of the regular men were taken out on account of injuries, thus giving Auburn a tremendous advantage. 117 w OSTLA fumbles by A. M., and a completed forward pass, enabled Auburn to win by a score of 19-0. While the men put up a great fight on defense, A. M. was certainly not at her best in this game, while on the other hand, Auburn was undoubtedly in the best condition than at any other time in the season. In considering the most important games, one of the bright points in the season was the victory over the University of Georgia, on her own field. For several years it has been Georgia ' s boast that she has never been defeated on her home gridiron. The splendid way which the team rallied for this game is deserving of credit. They gained a decisive victory over the aggregation that played Auburn to a stand-still in a 0-0 game later in the season. The victory over Georgia marked the turning point, and in the ensuing games with Mercer University, Tulane, and University of Alabama, the Hull Dogs showed their old driving spirit, and the first two contests were won by large scores. The Turkey Day game with Alabama was as usual, hard fought, and was marked by the excellent all-round playing of the Aggies, and the punting of Vande- graf, who repeatedly booted the ball out of danger. By hard and consistent playing, the Alabama boys were able to hold the score to one touchdown and a goal from the field. Plaving eight games, winning six and losing two, one of these to Auburn, the undefeated Southern champions, we feel no hesitancy in claiming a place at the top in S. I. A. A. football circles. We had no individual stars, but a machine that worked together as a unit. 3 — Marion Military Institute — A. M 54 111— Cumberland University 0— A. ,5c M 77 1 7 — Kentucky State University 19 — A.

Having had such a successful season last fall, naturally more interest and enthusiasms were present. While there were no tied scores, as in the last vear ' s contests, the games were equally hard fought and from the point of view of the casual observer, it was practically impossible to say which team was the best. Many good men were uncovered in the preliminary practices, and with the excellent experience they re- ceived at the hands of their respective coaches, they will form a formidable array to select from for next year ' s varsity. A new idea was sprung on football fandom in connection with these contests. After the All Class team had been selected, it was decided to match them with the Scrubs for a final game. The purpose of this was two-fold, to give the All Class eleven a chance to play together, and also to compare their strength with that of the Scrubs, and in this way arrive at an approximate conclusion as to the relative strength of the All Class team and the varsity. The series of elimination games opened with the Juniors and Seniors arrayed against each other, ready for a fight to the finish. The Seniors, however, showed their superiority early in the contest, and their fast backfield were able to gain almost at will on the Juniors. With two touchdowns and a drop kick registered against them, the plucky Juniors surrendered all hopes of championship honors to the dignified Seniors. The next game of the series was an argument between the Freshmen and Sopho- mores. The score in this contest was not so large, the teams being more evenly matched. After many hard scrimmages, in which neither side seemed to be able to gain an advantage, one of the Freshmen ends got loose on a trick play and went for a touchdown. The Freshmen failed to kick goal, and the game ended in a Freshman victory. 6-0. The results of these two contests left the championship hanging between the Freshmen and Seniors. Hard preparation began in both camps, the members of each class backing their men in the hard workouts, and when the fateful day arrived, two splendid teams faced each other, with the determination to do or die. The scrap was a live one from the start, but it was evident to the spectators that the Seniors had the edge on the Freshmen and their fast backfield began to make onslaughts on the Freshman line, each attack netting some results. The big Fresh- men showed plenty of fight and stayed with the battle until the very last, but their efforts were in vain, try as they would, nothing could stop the victorious Seniors, and when the last whistle sounded, the score stood 12-0, on the side of the upper classmen. Thus the Seniors had won the coveted prize for which they had been striving for four long years, and one sun-shiney morning, soon after the end of the contests, the big ' 17 that had reposed so peacefully on the tank since last season was missing, and in its place rested a large ' 15, looking proudly over the campus, calmly content in the realization that success had at last smiled on the deserving. 128 I .

Having lost Baker, our star catcher, the team was weak in a vital point. Notwithstanding the fact that it was an uphill fight, the Aggies, led by captain Noble, put up a hard fight for the State Championship, which was only decided in the last inning of the final game. The offensive strength of the team rested practically with four men, and thus handicapped, the Aggies were able to defeat Alabama and repay her in part, for the drubbing that was administered to A. M., in 1913. This is one of the bright spots in the otherwise unsuccessful season. Overcoming a large lead in two consecutive games, the Aggies won from Alabama on the diamond at the Meridian fair grounds. A. M. was defeated by the University, broke even with Mississippi College, and won four games from Millsaps. The fact that Millsaps won from Mississippi Col- lege, gave them the right to meet Ole Miss for the State Championship series in Jackson. The playing of the old regulars is deserving of mention. Captain Noble covered his position in the left garden in fine style, while Frentz and Kinney of the infield accepted difficult chances and handled them well. Chapman also played the best ball of his career. The heavy hitting of Frentz and Kinney, and also the hitting and base stealing of Noble, were features of the season. A.

In the opening series with Mississippi College, the second team equalled the record of the varsity, and in the Auburn games, Rogers, Merkle and Treleaven made an excellent showing. With the approach of the Alabama games, the old combination of Kinney, Clark, McArthur, Gaddy and Davis, V. W., were chosen to assist Capt. Noble in defeating the S. I. A. A. claimants of 1914. Coach Graves and his team were confident of victory, but their winning combination was broken by the splendid defensive work of the local guards, and the floor work of Kinney and Clark at forwards. On the long trip to St. Paul ' s College and L. S. U., made under unfavorable conditions and played under new interpretation of rules, we obtained an even break, returning with the team in a worn-out condition. The journey to Alabama and Auburn followed, with Davis, Gorman and McWilliams making their first trip with the team, while Biglane, Davis, V. W., and Rogers took the places of McArthur, Clark, and Kinney, as regulars. With Noble and Gaddy assuming the burden of the defensive work, the new combination sprung a surprise on the Tuscaloosa team, hold- ing them to a close score, and giving A. M. the edge on Alabama for the season. The points standing as follows: Field Goals, A. M 98— Alabama 82 Free Goals, A. M lb— Alabama 27 Total points, A. M. . . . 1 14— Alabama 109 The summary of the Auburn games gives us an additional basis for ranking. Four games: Field Goals, A. M., 102 points — Auburn, 56 points Free Goals, A. M., 12 points — Auburn, 20 points Total.... A. M., 114 points — Auburn, 76 points The number of new men developed this season gives us brighter prospects for next year than we have had at the close of any previous season. Captain Noble and Senator Gaddy deserve great credit for their consistent work throughout a difficult schedide ; the State Championship is secure for the fourth consecutive year, and no other college has a better claim to the S. I. A. A. honors. 135 H?l)o Bcisl -SP= M, 137 inn i i ti ! i i u i o o « O 1 « 5 n m u,x Track Record 1915 M. followed up her pace set in 1913, and came back strong in 1914, winning from Alabama by an overwhelming majority, taking the state meet in a walk, and coming again within three points of the S. I. A. A. championship. It is bad policy to say what might have been, but we can safely claim that had Scott been able to take part in the S. I. A. A., and add the quarter and half mile races to A. M. ' s already large score, A. M., and not L. S. U., would be the Southern champions. Noble and Wells started things off well for the Aggies, by winning first and second places in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. This lead was held for a time, but the splendid handling of the weights by Dutton, gave L. S. U. the ed e on us. However, with the state championship secure and the splendid showing against Alabama to our credit, we have every reason to be satisfied with the 1914 track season. Event 1st. 2nd. 3rd.

A Meal in the Mess Hall is that which has no parts and no magnitude. 2. All Meals are the same Meals. 3. Any four Meals in the Mess Hall are together less than one square Meal. 4. Students in the Mess Hall and at the same table, are equal to one another in the matter of Grits, Zip, Prunes, and Bullneck. 5. All the meat being taken, a piece of Gristle is said to be a Pork-Chop. 6. Rhubarb Pie may be reproduced any number of times. 7. A Bee-line may be made from the Mess Hall to the Cafe. 8. The Steward of the Mess Hall is a parallelogram ; an oblong, angular figure, which cannot be described, but is equal to anything. 9. The Steward may be reduced to his lowest terms by a series of girlish smiles. I do not want a motor car. I do not want a yacht. I do not pine to roam afar, And over Europe trot. I do not seek rare works of Art, Beloved, it is true, The only object of my heart is YOU, YOU, YOU. For when I ' ve got you, don ' t you see, These other things will come, For in the line of money, You ' ve got a tidy sum. For all these luxuries, I ' ll wait, Yacht, travel, motor, too, Till I shall dwell in blissful state with YOU, YOU, YOU.

(dressing in a hurry for Reveille) — My face is crazy if it thinks it is going to get washed this morning. An A. M. Version of Sing a Song of Six Pence.

Someone added the following: The maiden ' s heart just throbbed with bliss; He was a clever entertainer; Hut when the two were about to kiss, He found he ' d lost his strainer. The following was added by an A. M. cadet: In such a case, an A. M. man — 1 swear you cannot lose ' em — Would wrap both arms about the girl And strain ' er to his bosom. Marie — At the place where I am spending my vacation this summer, a fresh young farmed tried to kiss me. He told me he ' d never kissed a girl in his life. Ethel — What did you say to him? Marie — I told him that I was no agricultural experiment station. Modern Latin. Boyibus kissibus Sweet giriorium ; Girlibus likibus, Wantit somorum. Jones, W. S. — Patty, do you know Miss Mary Green?

The words he used were all as sweet As honey to the lip ; But soon he found, to his surprise, His ink had turned to ' Zip. ' Prof. Brooks to Boyd, in Y. M. C. A. cafe (somewhat absent-minded after hav- ing visited a beautiful, young lass of Starkville) — Say, waiter, if 1 have dined, bring me a check; if 1 haven ' t, bring me a steak with mushrooms. Mosely to Stark — Say, Legs, do you know why it rains up here so much? Stark — No, haven ' t the least idea. Mosely — Because there is a large Leake. It isn ' t the job we intend to do, Or the labor we have just begun, That puts us right on the ledger sheet; It ' s the work we have really DONE. Our credit is built upon things we do, Our debts on things we shirk; The man who totals the biggest plus, Is tin- man who COMPLETES his work. Sophomore — Is McNulty going to play this afternoon? Freshman — No, he came cut to have his picture made with the class team. ' Prof, in geography to Prep. — What do you know about the Mongolian race?

Donaldson to room-mate — I am consprised at a gentleman of your sta- bility, drinking liquor to such a seccess, when you are beware of its conjurious defect upon your institution. Prof. Scoates to new student making out schedule — Friend, what class are you eoing to enter? Ware, J. A. — Freshman, I suppose. What in the dickens are you going to enter r We laugh at our professors ' jokes, No matter what they may be; Not because they are funny jokes, But because it ' s policy. Treleaven, H. H. — Roxie, I have a sympathetic nature. Hamilton, J. R. — I thought so from the way you bawled out when I stepped on vour toe last evening. Paul Wells says that the Pedagogues made a stand against the Agricultural men like the Trojans did on the plains of Thermopylae. I stood upon the mountain, I gazed upon the plain ; I saw a field of green stuff, That looked like waving grain. I took another look at it And thought it must be grass; But, goodness gracious, to my horror, It was the Freshman Class. We never blame ourselves at all when things go all awry, When someone ' s feelings have been hurt and someone starts to cry; When we have looked upon the wine until we ' re feeling mellow, We never blame ourselves at all, we blame the other fellow. Prof. Drain in Dairy — Name the three types of cattle. Gower, P. H. — The three types are beef, dairy and dual purpose. Griffin, S. S. — Does that last type mean steer?

C. — My father never thrashed me in my life. Steele, C. G. — Another wreck due to a misplaced switch. Maids don ' t propose, Perhaps that ' s best ; But, goodness knows, They do suggest. Old Mother Hubbard, She went to the cupboard To get herself some clothes. But when she got there, The cupboard was bare, And so was Dame Hubbard — I suppose. Professor— Is Mr. Cox ill? Chambers, S.

Taps had sounded, all was dark, But the watchman didn ' t care, For he had his trusty pistol And he wore a jaunty air. He passed the demonstration plot, The veterinary hospital was near; When, upon the stillness of the night, Rose a noise that split his ear. The watchman stopped, turned around — Of course, he wasn ' t scared; He simply wished to know If the way hack home was cleared. That noise, it was terrific, And his feet began to tickle; And heads of sweat burst on his brow, And down his face did trickle. Again the noise, like fiends of hell. Hurst upon the night ; Forgetting all but Safety First, The watchman took to flight. Now, dangers are often magnified, And so was this one, too ; That noise was a horse breathing extra As horses often do. The watchman ' s name I ' d like to tell, But had better not, I fear ; As he lives in famous Company C, And holds a corporal ' s rank this year. ud, J. M. M., ' 16. 257 c Couplets True Another year, another day, What new things, who can say? Another smile, another tear, Who knows what our face will wear? Another thought, another deed, We never know to what they lead ; Another word, another threat, Be careful lest they cause regret. Another opportunity passed up, Do not sit and wait for luck ; Golden sunshine and flowers, A day of many pleasant hours. Another wrong one would right Leads on to a deadly fight ; Peace today and war tomorrow, Who can tell what will follow. Another het, another debt, Hastens work, hastens fret; Use your senses, use your head, And to what ' s right you ' ll be led. Another friend, another foe, Who ' s to blame? You should know; Let us live today, not in the past, For who knows how lon _ r this race will last. J. C. P., ' 17. AN A. AND M. LOVER.

Days will go and days will come, Hut still I ' ll think of you ; And when, at last, I do get home, My love will still be true. So cheer up, dearie, don ' t be sad. And keep your love for me; And 1 am sure we ' ll both be glad, When I can be with thee. 258 i rJ V I P |. --..-S.V.. 259 IU iv:w. v, -sv,vi 4-isf.v.v. ' .-:-. Basketball Team Of all the games I ever saw, I saw the best to-night. I saw those Mississippi boys Win a hard fought fight. Alabama found them tough — Tougher than all creation; And how our boys laid it on, It surely beats the nation. Egg Nobles at guard, gee whiz! He hung to his man like a leech; No matter where that man did go, ( )ld Eggs was in his reach. And Gaddy, boys, who ' d thought it, He guarded his man, I say, And every time he would get the ball, He put it right in play. McArthur at center, who can beat him ' . It I thought you could answer, I ' d ask it; For every time he got the ball, He dropped it in the basket. ( ), you Clark, at forward, on did the work, old boy ; The way you handled that ball, I thought ' twas a baby ' s toy. Here comes Kinney, the dear little squab, He shoots em from every angle; He got the scalps of Alabama, And from his belt they dangle. Every man did his part, McArthur, Nobles and Clark; With Kinney at forward and Gaddy at guard, Alabama ' s hones turned dar.k. The score was twenty-one for Alabama; For A. M., let ' s see. If I am not mistaken, ' Twas a great big TWENTY-THREK. G. B. H., ' 17. _ ' S-O-N-G-S (To the Tune of Dixie.) In Mississippi we ' ll take our stand, And show our hand as a college hand, Look away, look away, to the A. M. look away.

' We do, we do; we ' ll always stand together, And for victory forever. So in Mississippi we ' ll take our stand, And show our hand as a college band ; Look away, look away, to A. M. look away.

For her we ' ll do or die ; Her teams are best as you can see, And we ' ll cheer them to the sky. Chorus. Miss-iss-ippi A. and M. C. Is the very best place for me. Where the Maroon and White Make the Bulldogs fight, At Mississippi A. M. C. A. M. C, A. M. C, A. M. C. ( Repeat chorus. ) ( By Dr. E. M. Ranck. ) There is something in a sign. I don ' t know what it is That riles this heart of mine, And sets my brain a-whiz. It says, Keep off the Grass, The vandal feet to balk, And then it comes to pass, That on the grass I walk. . ' ol ■ ' ) Getting By How many boys work hard at times, As a test is drawing nigh? How many cram through day and night, With the thought of getting by? They idle away their precious time, And then, with a heavy sigh, They get them down to hardest work, With the hope of getting by. How many secret things we do, That are far from ideals high ; Our actions are secure, we think, And it ' s easy to get by. The boy who works both day and night, Resolved to do or die, Concerned with duty, success in life, Thinks not of getting by. His soid is wrapped in visions bright; He sees with the inner eye ; He thinks of the goal far up the hill, Ami not of getting by. Then when their college life is past, And in the world they vie. The one does more than the job requires, The other just gets by. The one climbs up and one stands still, And plain it is the why — The one dug deep in his early years, The other — just got by. H. L. S., ' 16. ? s V - lip- . 7 , S=nTO :■ ' .:. ..: ' :p — a •I The Taming of Ed Norris AY no more, or I ' ll take you off the team. Take me off then, retorted Ed., with an oath. Very well, sir, replied Coach Watson, firmly but calmly. The varsity and scrub teams of Madison University had been engaged in the final scrimmage before one of the hardest games of the season, which u sually came in the early part of November. For three-quarters of an hour, the varsity had been unable to advance the ball any considerable distance, and the scrubs were fighting like mad men. But now, by powerful line plunges and dazzling end runs, the ball was placed on the scrubs ' three-yard line. The next signal called for Ed., the big fullback, to carry the ball straight over the line. As the ball was slapped into his arms, he glanced hastily up and saw the scrub line give way; but as he started into the opening, the plucky little scrub fullback came, tearing in and threw Ed. without a gain. In a fit of anger, Ed. struck the little fellow in the face with his fist. Coach Watson saw the blow, and angrily warned him against such breach of discipline and Ed. resented. Ed. Norris was a big, handsome chap, with coal black hair and keen black eyes which seemed to look through and through a person. With high cheek bones and square set chin, his whole countenance bespoke determination, stubbornness and confidence in himself. He was a perfect specimen of physical manhood, and with his handsome face, polished manners and jovial disposition, he was able to make friends easily; he was what we commonly call a good mixer. He stood well in his classes and took an active part in the various college activities. As a football player, he was considered the greatest fullback that had ever worn the Maroon and Gold. Coming to Madison University with a creditable record as a high school athlete, he made good the first year in college, and was picked as the best fullback in the state. During the present season, he had played stellar ball, and was practically sure of being chosen All- Western fullback. Furthermore, he was an all-round athlete, being a dependable basketball guard, a hard hitting third basemen and the wrestling cham- pion of the University. But big Ed. Norris was human and, like the rest of us, had his faults, which were grave ones, although they hurt no one but himself. Chief among them was his fiery and uncontrollable temper. At the least annoyance, he would fly into a fit of anger, and do and say things that he would afterwards regret. An innate stubborn- ness of will was also an unfortunate part of his mental make-up. Having decided in his own mind, that certain things were right and justifiable, that he would accom- plish a certain thing, or having committed himself to a certain course of action, neither legard for the consequence nor the arguments or persuasions of his friends could make the slightest impression on him. Coupled with this was the desire to have his own way. He was continually fussing at his team-mates if they did not do just to please him, and he would listen to the coaches only in an indifferent way. Like many other athletes, who make good their first year in college, he assumed a very haughty, dic- tatorial air, feeling very proud of his attainment, and thinking that his services were indispensable to the success of the team. • 5 .. s - . Ed. had conceived a great dislike for the little scrub fullback, Jim Thornton. Jim was a quiet fellow, never speaking till spoken to, but always willing to do the best he could and having the grit and determination to stay by he guns till the last shot was fired. Jim had excited the jealousy and hatred of Ed. by his manners and by his too open devotion to Elsie Hudson, a beautiful little blonde, with whom Ed. was in love. When Ed. threw his headgear to the ground and stalked off the field, he felt confident that he would be called back into the game when the team should line up for play next Saturday. As he undressed, he thought regretfully of his conduct and his words, and wished secretly in his heart, as was his wont, that he hail acted differently; but he was too stubborn to let the wishes have expression. As he was under one of the showers, his team-mates hied quietlv into the outer room and began undressing. None of them seemed to notice him. Ehere was no laughing and talking or the usual prophesying before a game, but on each face was a troubled expression. As Ed. reached the dressing room door on his way out, Watson and Jim came in, the hitter ' s mouth bloody and swollen from the impact of Ed. ' s fist. If Ed. felt the least bi t of remorse for the injur) to Jim, it never came to the surface, and he passed on his way with his head high. As he went about his academic duties for the next two days, and no ! ne came to him, asking him to play, he seemed, to all outward appearances, more care-free and haughty than ever. His close friends noticed, however, that he was not as free from worry as he seemed, and that he was putting forth every effort to appear unconcerned. He had never been known to talk about anything that troubled him; consequently, no one knew what thoughts were uppermost in his mind. ( )n Saturday he saw his team-mates forced to battle desperately to win a 7 to decision over the lowly Overton eleven, which bail been beaten ,■ () to by their hated rivals, the Charleston University. Simms, the substitute fullback, played in Ed. ' s place, and at all stages of the game, a casual observer could see that he did not lit into the workings of the Madison machine. In every play, the strength, courage, determination, confidence and football knowledge of Ed. were painfully missing. They will surely ask me to play now, ' ' mused Ed. Hut, as no one came to him, officially, saying that he would be allowed to play again, some of the old haughtiness fell from him. He had repented of his words to Watson, but he was too proud to apologize and make an effort to get reinstated. Whenever his close friends would speak to him about playing, he would talk little and indifferently, but ended by saying that he was willing to play, but that he would not go to Watson and apologize, nor would he make any effort to get reinstated. ( )f course, these remarks finally reached Watson. On Friday, Madison played Durham College. This team was very light and was considered easy picking for the heavy Maroon and Gold squad. A great surprise awaited them, however, for the plucky little Durham fellows out-played their heavier opponents at every stage of the game, and the best the heavy Madison team could do was to hold them scoreless. During the entire game, Ed., with every muscle in his body taut, every nerve a quivering, walked restlessly up and down the side lines; his hands thrust deep down into his pockets, occasionally stopping 264 and nervously plucking blades of grass; every movement betraying his anxiety to get into the game. Simms played wretchedly at fullback, and this fact, coupled with the narrow escape from defeat, renewed Ed. ' s hope that sooner or later he would be asked to play. The next week, Coach Watson began work on the great task before him : that of rounding the team into shape for the Thanksgiving game. He, as well as all others, saw at once that a good fullback was all that was needed to perfect the machine; and they also knew where there was such a fullback. Every afternoon Ed. was on the field watching the team go through the various formations, until he knew every play and every signal. Watson did not seem to notice him, however, any more than one of the other bystanders, who bad come out merely for the pleasure of seeing the team in action. The change that had come over Ed. was evident to all and was the absorbing topic of conversation. He no longer wore the haughty air that characterized him before; neither would he fly into a fit of anger at any little undesirable occurrence; nor was he as arrogant ami as stubborn in his deal- ings with his fellows; instead, he went about his work diligently, though always seeming troubled and in deep thought over something. Excitement began to wax high as Thanksgiving Day drew near. Although the dope was in favor of the strong Charleston eleven, yet all knew that the Madison team had a fighting chance, and everyone, coaches, players, and backers, were putting forth their best efforts in preparation for a desperate light. The students gathered in groups to practice yells and songs, and excitement was everywhere at fever heat. On Tuesday morning, a committee of students came to Ed., asking him to go to Watson and apologize, and try to get back in the game Thanksgiving; but the old stubbornness was still there, ami he refused to apologize, saying, however, that he was anxious to play again. The same committee pleaded with Watson, to allow Ed. to play, but with no success. At noon, Ed. heard of the failure of the committee, and his faint hopes, which had risen in the morning, now went glimmering. All the rest of the day, he was like a fish out of water. He had conceded what he con- sidered a great deal by expressing his willingness to play, for he knew that with him in the line-up, his team-mates would be encouraged and inspired with new confidence. To add fuel to the fire, about noon, he received a note: Dear Ed.: I will be over Tuesday to see the footbal see you play. game, especially to Klsie. Elsie had not heard of his trouble with the coaches, and now she was coming over to see the game. Cculd be explain to her why he was not to play? When time for the afternoon practice game, he donned his uniform, and went out on the field with the other players. They all greeted him cheerfully. As he began punting, he found that he was in fine physical condition, and that he was able to get his punts off beautifully. When Coach Watson came on the field, he called for the regular team to line up and put them through a hard signal practice. Simms was running fullback. Ed. trotted over to one corner of the field and, with several scrubs, spent the afternoon in kicking and handling punts, expecting and hoping, all the time, that Watson would call him to take his place on the team. But Watson V (4 ,.....v I Li 265 went about his work of putting the finishing touches on the Madison machine, and seemed not even to notice Ed. ' s presence on the field. Ed. returned to the room very much crestfallen and in great anxiety. Knowing how badly he was needed and having shown his willingness to play, and his physical fitness, he still believed that he would be called upon at the last moment. On Wednesday, the same thing was repeated. For a while, he followed the team up and down the field and learned the new signals and plays. But still Watson ignored him. That night, he rolled ami tossed about with his brain in a whirl. Finally morning came. Dark clouds and a chill} west wind indicated a bad day. Fhe coaches, players and rooters, all were anxious but determined. Ed. walked around the campus for a while, but bis mind was too disturbed for conversation with anyone. His haughty manner had entirely disappeared. At two-thirty o ' clock, the grand stand began to assume a life-like appearance. By three, both bleachers and grand stand were one mass of humanity. A moment later, the two teams trotted on the field. As the Madison team passed the west side bleachers, one huge, powerful yell went up from the Madison contingent. Then began the preliminaries of punting, goal-kicking, final instructions to the players, and the consultation of the officials. As Ed. was seen punting the ball far down the field to his team-mates, there was much speculation among the onlookers, as to whether he would be allowed to play. The whistle blew and, as the men hastened to their places, Ed. turned and walked to the side line. Glancing up into the grand stand, whom should he see but Elsie? As he looked into her face for a moment, the whole affair of his striking Jim, the quarrel with the coach, his stubbornness in not trying to make amends for what he had done — all passed through his mind. But he had only a moment for reflection. His attention was attracted by the referee ' s whistle, calling the two teams into the desperate struggle. The conflict that ensued was classic. The powerfid Charleston eleven, very con- fident at first, soon found that they had a fight on their hands. During the first half, neither side was able to gain any material advantage. When the second half began, both teams came back with the determination to do or die. The Madison squad was inspired with confidence by their work of the first half and had great hopes of winning. Ed. was still sitting over on the bench with the scrubs, following closely every play. Each team fought desperately, trying to gain some little advan- tage, but it looked as if the game would he a continual see-sawing up and down the field. Simms had been playing a jam up game at fullback, much to the surprise of the Madison supporters. Now began the fatal fourth quarter. All eyes were fixed on the players; a feeling that something decisive was likely to happen at any moment seized the anxious specta- tors. The Madison players began a whirlwind attack and, during the first five minutes, carried the ball to Charleston ' s thirty-yard line. Then, for five minutes, the battle raged, with the Charleston squad struggling with bulldog determination, and the Madison team fighting for dear victory; the result was that Madison ad- vanced the hall to Charleston ' s twenty-yard line. From the Charleston bleachers came the continuous cry of Hold ' em, Hold ' em, while in the Madison bleachers was an uproar — its occupants on their feet, throwing up their hats, waving pennants, nspspf f f i c m , !% _K ' j ' 1 o 1 w I 1 kg Si 1 ■4.if f | | ! tx 1 1 and exhorting their teams to greater effort. Ed., unable to remain on the bench, from excitement, walked up and down the side line, with his blanket drawn closely about his shoulders. Everyone felt that the decisive moment had come. On the next play, as Simms went smashing through the line, the husky two hundred-pound Charleston tackle came tearing in, throwing Simms, and breaking his collar bone. Immediately a hush came over the bleachers, and the hopes of the Madison contingent, which a moment ago had risen so high, now sank very low. There remained only three minutes to play and only ten yards to go. Whom would Watson put in at fullback? Suddenly one of the spectators spied Ed., who had been forgotten in the excitement, standing over on one side of the field. Immediately yells went up from all sides: Send in Ed., Send in Ed., and the hopes of the Madison rooters again rose. Coach Watson walked slowly down the side line and stopped in front of Ed. and Jim. For a moment he stood there as the yells to send in Ed. rang in his ears. To send in Ed. meant almost certain success ; to send in Jim, almost certain defeat. Accustomed to implicit obedience from his players, and rigid enforcement of his orders, he felt keenly the critical situation. Should the price of victory be the sacri- fice of his system of discipline? Hesitating for but a moment, he waved to Jim to go in at fullback. As Jim trotted to his place, the Madison rooters gave him a yell, but it was only half-hearted. On the first two plays, the ball was advanced four yards. On the next play, the runner was thrown without any gain. Now, with one minute to play, fourth down, and six yards to go, the quarterback decided to give Jim a chance. As his signal was called, Jim darted forward and, catching the ball on the run, smashed into the heavy Charleston line. Leaping, plunging, twisting, gaining yard after yard, nothing seemed able to stop him, and with one last desperate plunge, he landed between the goal posts. Immediately, the Madison bleachers were in an uproar; leaping on to the field, the Madison rooters hoisted the victorious team to their shoulders and carried them off the field. Ed., now realizing fully that his services were not indispensable to the success of the team, and that his conceit and stubbornness had brought him only chagrin and humiliation, walked moodily toward the gate. He was glad that the game was won, but he was unable to enter into the rejoicing and excitement that was going on around him. Noticing no one and wrapped in his gloomy thoughts, he passed out of the gate. Near the steps of the grand stand, he felt someone touch him on the arm and heard a voice say, Ed., I thought you were going to play? And there was Elsie, with Jim by her side and Coach Watson a few paces behind. Tears began to trickle down Ed. ' s cheek, and he was unable to speak a word. Taking one step forward, he grabbed Jim ' s hand, looked into his face for a moment, with a look that meant infinitely more than words, then turned and strode off to the dressing room. Next vear, Ed., called out Watson. T. G.
