GENERAL SCIINCE; ANIMAL HUSBANDRY Count that day lost whose low descending sun. Views from thy hand no worthy action done. In September, 1911, N. S. joined the Class of 15, and proved himself very efficient in his college activities. Beginning with session 1914- 1915, he decided to specialize in Animal Hus- bandry, thus spending the entire year in this work. He is a man who looks deep into the future and his visions have guided him on to victory with Class 16. We expect a great work from him down among the long leaf pines. Jones County Club.

AGRICULTURE; ANIMAL HUSBANDRY He that flirts and runs away Will live to flirt another day. Spot, -ince starting with us five years ago. has proven himself as having in his make-up those constituents which produce a MAN. Louis joined the band soon after entering, not because of his love for military, but for the simple reason that he wanted to be a musician (■ ). and now operates a clarinet with the skill of a professional. He ranks well up in the School of Agriculture, and with this he is taking a very active part in literary society work, as well as other college activities. From his college record, we can forecast a success- ful future for him.

He does not spend all of his lime in pursuit of this exciting game, for his class records show that he is a persevering student. His ambition is to transform some bleak hill- side into a second Garden of Eden. He is a lover of nature and pretty girls, one of which he intends to call all his own in the near future.

As to scholarship, his work is excellent; as to his military abilities, we refer you to the private Freshmen of his company ; and as lo his personal characteristics, it is sufficient lo say, that he has a friend in every sludent with which he has associated. Peda- gogue, our best wishes for success go with you always. George Ritles; Miss. Sabres; President Yazoo County Club; Rifle Club; Captain ' s Club; Y. M. C. A.; Captain Company A.

GENERAL SCIENCE; GEOLOGY Difficulties are things that show what men are. When Jack has fully decided that he wants lo do a thing, nothing can thwart his determi- nation. He is a consistent worker and does not know how to give up. Jack is preparing himself to be a great Rock Pecker by tak- ing his elective work in Geology. He has never had any great military aspirations, say- ing that he could use his time in a more profitable way. George Rifles; Sabre Company: T. M. C. A.; Science Club; Private Company B. Robert Helm Batty Picayune, Miss. ACRICULTURE; AGRONOMY His character of which we can boast Mal(es his remembrance dear. Bob is one of our few men who is a friend to everybody, and he is. no doubt, one of the most popular boys in college. He is a hard worker, a good student and a clear thinker. Bob has seldom been seen without a smile on his face, and he imparts his good qualities to all with whom he associates. Judging from his life among us, we predict a most promising and happy future for him.

ENGINEERING; MECHANICAL Tis time to leave the boofys in dust And orf the unused engine rust. Daddy ' came to college in our Sophomore year as a starter in imitating the life of the immortal God-father of his country, Lamar He chose to make engineering the field of his fame. He is quiet, unassuming, except when he is commanding Company C, and is dig- nified in his appearance at all times. His thorough application to work, and his ambi- tion, for he has shown some trace of that ad- mirable quality, insure for him a successful future. President Pearl River-Lamar Counties Club; Rifle Club; Y. M. C. A.; First Lieutenant Company C. Louie Paul Bernhard Holcomb, Miss. ENGINEERING; ELECTRICAL Woman is the holiday of man And every man is entitled to a holiday. Sarah is small of stature, but large of mind. His good nature and admirable manners have won for him the esteem and friendship of everyone while here these four years. This probably accounts for the fact that he is getting three letters from his girl per week. Sarah has shown a desire to help make of Class ' 16 the best. He readily takes part in all the military activities of the college, and was actually able to go through the manual of arms by the time he came to his junior year. In fact, it is generally known that next to Christmas and vacation, Sarah likes military better than all. Some day he expects to rival Edison and Steinmetz in the electrical world, and all Class ' 16, especially members of E. E. Class, wish for him the very best in life.

Crow is well known to the entire student- body, his happy, care- free way winning friends on every side. He is a past master of the gentle art of tapping Doc. He has always stood high in his classes, but it is in the practical work that he stars. His hands are capable of executing whatsoever his nim- ble brain may dictate. Gulf Coast Counties Club, ' 12- ' 16; Private Company C. Elisha Livingston Brien, Jr. Vicksburg, Miss. AGRICULTURE; AGRONOMY Nature and Nature ' s laws lay hid in night. Cod said. Let ' Red ' be! and all was light. E. L. is a good-natured Irishman, ready to greet you with a smile, but when he chooses he can change this look to one that makes the Freshman shrink with fear. Brien has taken an active part in all college activities since ar- riving here, but does not let society or other things interfere with his academic work. Here ' s wishing you luck, Red. and may success crown each effort you put forth.

And his troubles as light as the foam. Buck is a sincere, unselfish, good-natured fellow, true to himself, to his work and to his friends. Though his countenance may look innocent, his brain contains more mischief than the Katzenjammer Twins. He loves everything but military, and he never worries except when Bob worries. His greatest ob- ject in life is to have a large farm and two boys to call him Daddy. Buck, Class 16 wishes you good luck. Miss. Sabres; President Tallahatchie County Club; Y. M. C. A.; Private Company M. William Henry Calcote Lucien, Miss. AGRICULTURE Happy, thoughtful, faind, and true, There is no favor he rvill not do. Bill has a very dignified appearance, and one must know him well in order to appreci- ate his sterling qualities. He has already chosen his profession, and pursues his line of work with earnest zeal, not even allowing the charms of his fancy to deter him from his purpose. Bill is very fond of telling of his boyhood experiences and proud of the fact that he is from the country. We expect for him to make Lincoln County a better farming district.

Jim is one of the fine specimens of Clarke County and has been with us since our Fresh- man year. Upon entering school Jim chose engineering as his profession, but after follow- ing this work for one session, he decided that was not the profession which he wished to follow, so he took up Agriculture. He is a very quiet boy, always willing to do the right thing, and whatever he goes at he puts his whole heart and mind into it. We can see great things in the future for Jim, and we wish him success in his prospective work. George Rifles; Vice-President Clarke County Club; Scrub Baseball.

Tom is a quiet, unassuming kind of fellow. who attends strictly to his own business, and he does it in a business-like way. His record as a student is an enviable one. He and hi? pipe have numerous friends who will always remember them with pleasure. Sincerity and truth are exemplified in his daily conduct, for he practices what he preaches, and he will some day stand with the highest in his pro- fession, ( Bugs ). Miss.

ENGINEERING; CIVIL AND MINING To I(noTi! him is to trust him. Since Hunka entered in our Freshman year, everything pertaining to the unknown has been duly investigated and observed There are no things connected with the College that he does not understand and appreciate to their fullest extent, even Military. Hunka ' s greatest am- bition is to build a Macadam road from Georgetown to Washington, D. C, and write a Physics Book for Babies. As he has shown a great perseverance in all of his work, we predict for him a great future in his chosen profession. Copiah County Club; Y. M. C. A.; Private Company G. Alfred Swayze Cooper Yazoo City, Miss. AGRICULTURE Of l inJ manners and gentle speech. King Alf possesses the unusual record of having finished the Agricultural course in three years, instead of the four usually required to complete this broad subject. During his college career he has dabbled in the science of chess playing, which he hopes some day to really learn. It has been hinted that he is fond of reading the Rubyat of Omar Khayam. ' Of course, however, we cannot positively say that he is guilty of such a hein- ous crime, although we have heard him openly express a firm determination to start collect- ing Iron men as soon as he gets out of col- lege, and keep it up until he has accumulated enough of the filthy lucre to retire and en- joy some of the comforts and luxuries of life. Here ' s luck to you, Alf, old boy. If you manage your future as well as you have your post, success is sure to mark you for her own. Lee Guards, ' 14- ' 16; German Club. ' 1 5 - 1 C ; Y. M. C.

' Fred is a near relative and a firm supporter of the great humorist who expounded the theory that, A woman is but a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke. He is quiet and reserved, a good student, a congenial companion, and a loyal friend. His happiest moments are spent in privacy, watching the curls of smoke wind- ing upward from his faithful cob pipe which reveals to him many pleasant dreams of the future. We predict a great future for him in the fields of Agriculture and matrimony. Veterinary Science Cub; Agricultural Club: Attala County Club; Private Company A. William Russell Cruthirds Lyman, Miss. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION He questions things, but does not find One thai will answer to his mind. Members of the class who were here in 1912 can easily recall the Dignified Prep ' who dis- mounted the M. O. one bright January morning with a little derby hat cast upon his verdant crown. His record as a student is recognized by both students and faculty as up-to-date. He made good from the start and it is not too much to say that the men of his class who have excelled him in his work are few. We expect him soon to be a leader in the promotion of educational work in Har- rison County. Success and happiness be thine, Fractions.

AGRICULTURE Difficulties are things that show what men are. ' Adolph. or Creole, as he is better known to us, entered Prep in 1910. Having been forced to drop out of the Class of 15 on ac- count of sickness, he joined us in the Junior year. He is one of our most persistent boys, never giving up until the task is completed. That he succeed in all that he may undertake is our earnest wish. Reveille Board; Reflector Staff: Gult Coast Counties Club, ' 12- ' 16; Philotechnic Literary Society.

AGRICULTURE Happy, thoughtful, h;ind and true, There is no favor he will not do. Kooter is a man of strong personal magne- tism and is a skilled performer in the art of making everybody happy. His greatest ambi- tion is to wield such influence over the Stale Legislature that they will consolidate A. M. and I. I. C, and he will be appointed Presi- dent. He is considered shrewd, having eased many trick plays by Col.Farrell in the Mili- tary Department. We all wish for him a most happy and prosperous career. Miss.

' ' Ed, as he is commonly called by his friend; hails from the good old County of Pike, though he is not in any sense of the word a piker. He joined our class while it was yet in its embryonic state, being a prep here in 10 and 11. So far as is known, he has never been troubled with Cupid ' s darts, but you can ' t always sometimes tell about those little things. While not subject to sudden or great flights of genius, Ed is a steady, whole- hearted, hard-working boy. and we expect and predict great things of him in the near future.

Cotton Top joined us in our Sophomore year, and has proven himself to be an excel- lent classmate and student. His white hair is not in keeping with his years, for he has al- ways been one of the boys and willing to do his part in everything. Being a friend himself, he has made friends of all that know him. Bob can always be depended upon, for he does his best on everything he undertakes. W e feel confident that he will prove a success in his chosen work, and our best wishes are with him wherever he goes. Reveille ' Board: Dramatic Club. - 14- ' 13: George Rifles.

Yank joined Class 16 during the Sopho- more year and has been a diligent, faithful st udent, standing always at the head of his class. His morals are beautiful, his ideals are high. He is a perfect gentleman, a competent leader, a delightful associate, a true friend, a hard worker, good tempered and an enthusi- astic optimist. Nothing too good can be said of him, and we hope he reaches the greatest future which is his.

They did not have to run Pee Wee down to put shoes on him, nor did they have to use strategy to get him on the train, but they did offer some inducement — Military — to get him to come to the A. M. Of course his love for military is natural, yet he does not allow it to conflict with his academic and social duties. As a student, Louis is among the best, and as a reward for his faithful and con- sistent work, he will receive a degree in June George Rifles; Sergeant, ' 14- ' 15; Second Lieu- tenant, ' 15- ' lfi; Runts Club; Interstate Club; German Club.

AGRICULTURE; DAIRYING Excelling others, these Were great. Thou, greater still, must these excel. When Fonte entered school he was handi- capped with his unfamiliarity with the English language, and by having to work his way through school. He did not have time to pur- sue military ambitions, but was contented to lead the life of a private. Despite his hin- drances, he has earned his expenses and mas- tered the language, and has made excellent records in his classes. His, indeed, is a bril- liant record. He possesses the qualities of a successful man, namely, grit, ability and en- ergy, and we will undoubtedly hear from the Frenchman in his chosen profession. Cosmopolitan Club.

Having realized the great need of trained men in the scientific world, he has decided to devote his entire life to this work.

John is a man of retiring disposition and does not push himself into the spotlight of notoriety, but goes his way quietly and with- out ostentation.

Although handicapped by back work, he has, by his untiring energy, been able to rank with the highest, and bids fair to do honor to himself and others. His high- est ambition is to rule supreme when on the job, and he seems to have accomplished his purpose from the fact that hi; name rings throughout history and comes rebounding back, to his dismay.

AGRICULTURE Gid is an honest worker and an efficient, practical man. He is conscientious and true to his principles, as well as a great lover of innocent fun ; believes in studying, not grind- ing, and is one of the best in his school, as his record will show. The fact that he is now assistant butter maker in the College Co-oper- ative Creame ry is sufficient evidence that he is rapidly gaining a mastery over his profession.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION O man! that from thy fair and shining youth Age might but ta e the things that youth needed not. Wood B. is a man of actions and not of words. If you are looking for an accommo- dation, go to him and you will never fail to get it. His big-heartedness and square deal- ings with everyone have won for him many friends among the boys. He is one of the loyal members of the class who worked hard on the football field to put the 16 on the tank. In his classwork he is hard to beat. For some reason, Starkville Society has never appealed to him very much, but I think there is a little girl on the River who has him guessing. May success be yours wherever you cast your lot.

After experiencing the trials and tribulations of college life for two years at the Louisiana State University, Ernest, or Mellen, bade his Louisiana friends farewell and sailed A.- -M. ' ward, reaching his destination a few days prior to the Christmas holidays of 1913, and since his arrival has indeed made an ad- mirable record, both as a student and as one of the boys. (Also in Military.) Although handicapped by the loss of two terms of his three years here, Mellen is still making a desperate effort, stretching his arms out a little further each day with the determination of returning only in June with the Sheep- skin enclosed. Mellen is especially noted for his wonderful heterogeneous conglomera- tion of voluminous verbosity.

(79) ■:- 1 1 il i Senior Class History 1 ISTORY is the record of the deeds and achievements of our many bene- factors and worthy predecessors. Althought their stalwart figures have long since disappeared, and their entrancing voices are silenced, their deeds and accomplishments will live forever. We read with ever-increasing pnde the history of our long-departed friends. We, therefore, think that to perpetuate the spirit of brotherly love, which has so characterized our class, and to pay tribute to a body of stalwart, enterprising, and benevolent ycung gentlemen, is altogether fitting and proper. It was in the fall of 1912 that we fell into the four years battle. Owing to the fact that our campus was being graded, walks were scarce and mud plentiful, together with the lack of military experience, many of our goodly number were unable to follow the procession. Upo n emerging from that stage in college life which is commonly known as the Recital and Guarding period, we came face to face with one of the most trying situations that was ever thrust upon a Freshman class. Although inexperienced and unorganized as a class, the Freshies recognized the untold value of unity and stood by the upper classmen in their ill-fated Strike. In college activities the Freshies made a good record by barely missing the basketball championship. Returning from a summer of good, hard work and having accumulated a vast amount of new determination, we entered the Sophomore year with a great many of our class- mates absent. The vacancies were filled with men whose uplifting influences and sterling qualities were instrumental in making our college career what it is, and in moulding the destiny of the class as a whole. The personnel of our magnificent body was soon recognized with gratification. In athletics we furnished more men to the Varsity teams than any previous Sophomore class. The struggle for class championship was again a hard- fought battle. As debaters we made a good record, our representatives winning the Morehead medal. We then quietly passed into the ' three stripped stage. Our Junior year was one of extreme quietness and thorough preparation. Vt ith an unusually small class to select from we developed good teams. As the various con- tests were called up, the Juniors always gave their opponents a clean, hard fight. T ith the possible exception of a few of our members who thoughtlessly disturbed the peaceful slumber of Col. Farrell on the night of the banquet, everything went on quietly. We are now Seniors and are fully aware of the various responsibilities which devolve upon us, and have striven to bear the burdens. We have at all times endeavored (80) ! C Ofjt ' lf to promote those things which were best for ihe student body, and we feel that we have been successful. We have done much toward getting the athletic fee and have organized a legislative committee, whose purpose it is to better conditions at A. and M. Our thorough preparation and watchful waiting for the past three years, and the hard, con- lstent training for the Senior team, made it possible for us to triumph over the Juniors and the excellent Sophomore teams, winning the class championship. The painting of the beautiful sixteen on the tank was probably one of the greatest feats in the history of the class, and although it struck terror in the hearts of the Juniors, we are all justly proud of it. We believe that our debating teams stand exceedingly high and we feel sure that success is ours. As we leave the familiar and loved scenes and friends, our heart-strings are touched, but we feel that our services are wanted elsewhere and we go out into the various walks of life fully conscious of the many trials that we shall have, and hope that we will be as diligent in all our undertakings as we have been in our college work. We wish the various classes which will follow much success, and urge each member to perform what- ever task that may be thrust upon him so well that he will be proud of his record when he has gone out into the world.

A band of two hundred and eight stalwart young men, striving to attain the higher ideals of life is indeed a fit subject for a mighty theme. This, the largest Junior Class in the history of the institution, is well developed along the three components of a perfect life. On the gndiron, while still discolored with the emerald hue, yet imbued with a determina- tion to win, the Freshies of ' 17 triumphantly established their right to the class championship. No less than five of the eleven coveted positions on the all-class team were filled by our men. With such an illustrious beginning, this class has abundantly filled the calls for men on Varsity and scrub of all teams. As we progressed in our college course the pursuit of knowledge became more ardent. The men of this class have some enviable records credited them in the Regis- trar ' s office. Great interest has been taken in the literary societies and instructive clubs. Our debaters won the first and only contest in which they took part in the session of 1914-1915. It is a significant fact that this was the only debate won by the college debating teams during the year. We have given many contributions to the Reflector and helped to make it a success. Nor has our class neglected the spiritual side of their college life. They have been unusually active in the Y. M. C. A. and have shown great interest in all cf its work. In fact, they have actively supported all forms of religious work. This is a brief summary of our past three years. In one more year we will have accomplished the aims of a college man. Although our record has been excellent, we shall try to improve it, if possible, during our Senior year. Then we will continue our struggle for the higher achievements of life, and it cannot be doubted that the world holds forth great opportunities for the members of the noble 17. C. C.

Since in Freshman English we learn not to indulge in fine writing, there will be no wild flights of oratory on the wings of imagination, soaring to heights unbelievable. Then stern thyself to the task and harken to my tale. It was an ordinary fall following closely upon the usual summer that we returned from our first vacation. The gray clouds had maintained their accustomed mentally and physically d ampening pall, and the brooding little hamlet among the hills was drowsing in peace, unaware of the great honor it was again about to receive. For we were returning, and returning strong, from all parts of the globe to resume our academic duties, this time as upper classmen, at the staid and respectable A. and M. College. when we assembled as wise Sophs at the beginning of this session, we were distressed to find that many of our Freshmen heroes were missing, but to our relief, bril- liant new men came in to fill their places. As our Sophomore commander, we unani- mously elected the popular and handsome E. A. Blount; a small tribute, but the only one within our means. Greatly in contrast to our awkward appearance as Freshmen, we were now experienced college men, versed in every phase of college life; and on account of our great knowledge of military the Commandant made many of us Cor- porals. Our academic work has also been great, for the entire class (of course a few exceptions) has done excellent work; in fact, so many of our members are geniuses that several of the professors have predicted that many will graduate with distinction and honors. In athletics the class has stood admirably well, contributing freely to the ' Varsity teams. The Sophomore football team was one of the strongest on the field and its record is a credit to the class. In football and other class athletics our teams have stood at the top, and many ' Varsity men are expected from them. The saddest events in the whole class history occurred in the untimely deaths of Richard Montague and John Morris, who was among the most prominent and most beloved members of our class. There were no two men more universally honored and esteemed by those who had the privilege of their close friendship than were Dick and John. Elsewhere in this volume can be found an appreciative recognition of their excellence. The Sophomore year, therefore, has been one of mingled sentiments, joy at the good fellowship about us, for we are such good friends by this time, and sorrow at the thought that this life will come to an end in 1 9 1 8.

We feel that this is our case of greenness. As everyone knows, it is rather a hard thing to forecast the ad- ventures of a class, and especially one so large as ours. While we are great in number, we are also great in mental potentialities, and we feel sure that in the course of time we will be able to furnish our school with some example of our ability. As every Freshman class, we have to bear the hard knocks of the school, but we are now so far past our novitiate that we even look forward to the time when we will be able to call some one else Freshie, and hope that they will not mind it any more than we did. In athletics, as in studies, the powers of the class have not yet been fully tried. In football we have furnished the Varsity with Dutch Schwill, one of the best backs that this college has ever seen. In class football, although we have not won the championship, we set such a fast pace that we made the other classes play better ball than ever be- fore; hence, we deserve much credit for raising the standard of mter- class games at this institution. As yet in basketball, track, and base- ball, we have not been tried, but we have in our midst plenty of good material, and soon will show that the Class of 1919 will be represented on every team this year. One of the best things that we feel we can say for the Freshman class is that it is well represented in both the literary societies, our Presi- dent being among its members. P. Treleaven, Historian.

M. stand for something in Southern ath- letics. He has been busy with the finances of of the club and has not worked with the team this year. g CAPTAIN RAINEY Rainey played every minute of every game. He was always in the road if .a play came over his side of the line. He finished his fourth year in grand style, showing why he was elected cap- tain. COACH HAYES Billy Hayes has all the qualities that go into the make-up of a good coach. With a broad knowl- edge of the game, the ability to get the best out of a team, and a cheerful disposition, he is always a winner. CAPTAIN-ELECT SPURLOCK Jimmie has the ability to break up plays before they get to the line of scrimmage. He is the hardest tackier in the South. As a fitting climax to his splendid playing he was chosen captain for 1916.   w«9«wpp? oi  i?™ e m Noble played at quarter. This was his fourth year and his direction of the plays and carrying of the oval showed the fruits of training and experience. Noble is the fastest man in the South. g Senator Gaddy hits the backfield harder than any other end. His defensive work was excellent. Gaddy is large, very fast and has a pig-iron constitution. He has never had time out. Mack Shaw keeps the end runs so torn up that the same team does not risk more than one on him. He does good offensive work in receiving passes. Pete Simmons is the hardest hitting backfield man in the game. He is the reason that people no longer think that a man has to be large to play football. (106) wWV,4-«--j- -JU ' .

He is fast and hard to stop. 1 his is his second year on the team and next year he will be found at his old post ready for the fight. Jones played his second year at half, winning the distinction of being the best open field runner in the game. He gained eighty-five yards in the Tennessee game. Baby Carpenter is large, fast and a fierce player. He had to stay out of three games on account of sickness, but while he was playing he was the best tackle in the game. When it comes to playing guard, Patten has the goods. This is his second year and he is going to be a large figure in the games next year. (107) ' le: -i -■-. : .

I . ■ ■ ■ — This is Schwill s first year on the team, but he played half like a veteran, and it took eleven men to stop him when he got started. He prom- ises to be one of the best halves in the South next year. Oden did great work as a substitute at quarter and full this year. He is a first year man. but he will make a strong regular next session, being an excellent field general and hard line plunger. Blondy McArlhur at center made the middle of the line strong. He is a hard fighter and never says die. He was in the game more of the lime than any other first year man. Martin was also a first year man and a substi- tute, but he was the only man to break through the Auburn line everv time he hit it. (108) ■.Vqmiwqpjlpi L ' ■ n M fr) i—.fcJ b n b.. - ' l ■ Bobo was a new man on the team, but he played at half as well as any of the old men. Bobo is small, but he is very fast and finds the places with rare ability. open Hamilton was a good man at end, this beino his first year on the team. He is a hard, con ' sistent player and is full of pep to the end Scott is a hard worker and was used at end as utility man. He played football in the same style that he ran in the S. I. A. A. meet last year and helped A. M. win the championship. Brunson played his first year as substitute at tackle and guard. He was always ready to do his best, and that was some good playing. (109) ?

With only ten old men to build upon, Coach Hayes developed one of the strongest teams that has ever played on a Southern gridiron. The warm weather in October was the most serious handicap the team had to overcome. Five games were played in the warm sunshine and many spectators wore Palm Beach suits. The warm weather helped the chill and fever jinx to keep some of the regulars out of the first six games. Notwithstanding these difficulties, the team finished one of the most successful seasons in the history of the sport. The first game was played at Jackson with Mississippi College. This game was intended to show the weak points in the team, but only strong ones were evident. The ability of the men to drive their way through a seemingly solid line and keep life in the game despite the hot weather was clearly seen. The game resulted in the first victory and the beginning of A. M. football supremacy. The final count was 12 to 0. The second game was on the campus, October 9. A thousand cadets and many visitors witnessed the most hotly contested game of the year. Transylvania University, with a heavy, fast and well-trained team, held the Bulldogs to a scoreless tie. There was not a bobble during the entire contest. Two master teams had met with no other aim in view than winning. Their full forces were put into the battle and little progress was made by either party. Every minute of the allotted time was spent in hard, clean, and spirited playing. Not for an instant did the fighting cease, nor the interest lag. Each seemed more eager to win as the end approached. When the last whistle sounded both teams were carried from the field; both were exhausted, and each was willing to confess that an equal and worthy foe had been encountered. The following Saturday the game was on the campus again and another Kentucky team was visiting. The State University of Kentucky team presented a grand style of playing. Their plays were widely varied and driven in rapid succession toward the A. M. goal. The solid line and the hard, fast Bulldog ends kept them from going very far, while the driving of the A. M. backfield was too much for the Kentucky Wildcats, and the Maroon and White scored the second 1 2 to victory. The first defeat was met in Birmingham, October 23. With two of the best men out of the line, it could not hold against the Donahue machine. Nearly all of the Auburn gains were made through the middle of the line. With Jackson on the side line, the back- (119) field failed to produce the characteristic drive that was such a terror to all opponents. A. M. played a defensive game almost entirely, and suffered a defeat of 28 to 0. The second and last defeat followed on October 30 at Baton Rouge, being admin- istered by Louisiana State University. The team was crippled by sickness and injuries, but the real cause of the defeat was the loose handling of the ball. The A. M. backs would often gain ten yards and lose the ball when tackled. A fumbled punt was re- covered by L. S. U. and a touchdown resulted. A drop kick from the thirty-five-yard line gave the other three points, making a total of 1 to 0. On November 6 the game that was of most vital importance was played. A special train carried the students of each college to witness the contest. The State title was to be settled, but that was a small matter when compared to the athletic rivalry between the University of Mississippi and A. M. This was the first time the teams had met since 1911, and all were eager for the fray. When the game began it was soon evident that A. M. was sure of an easy victory, but the Bulldogs kept piling up the score and the game Ole Miss lads put up all the fight there was in them to the very last. Notwithstanding the large score, the game was very interesting. It was remarkable for being the largest score ever made by A. M. against Ole Miss. The score was 65 to 0. The 1914 Southern champions were defeated at Knoxville, Tennessee, November 1 3. The University of Tennessee put up a hard fight, having a strong line and the heaviest backfield met during the season. All the A. M. regulars were back in the game and the mighty Volunteer scoring machine plugged away without producing any effect. The A. M. scoring department was in good order and showed the real Bull- dog class, winning I 4 to 0. On November 21 the Ole Miss Scrubs invaded A. M. territory, and were met by the young Bulldogs. The Scrubs were not satisfied with the Varsity score and raised it to 84 to 0. This was the only game the Scrubs had, but it was a good index to the ability of the second team. The Scrubs were a great help in developing the Varsity team. The last Varsity game was on Thanksgiving Day at College Station, Texas. The wind was blowing hard and the field was muddy, but the Bulldog determination to win was not lessened. The fight was hard on both sides and the game was full of life, even in the face of the gale. The wet field made it necessary for driving tactics to be used almost wholly, at which particular class of playing A. M. has no superior. The season closed with a 7 to victory. The summary for the season shows five games won, two lost, one tied, a percentage of .714; A. M. making 1 10 points against 38 made by her opponents. The first game of the interclass series was between the Seniors and Juniors. The Juniors had talked so much that the general opinion was that the Seniors would not be (120) ....jr.-..-.t.. -, : ■-.■-.:.:.. ..-., .--,.,_ ... .. ! £ able to make the game interesting. But hot air could not be scored, and the Seniors won, 12 to 8. The second contest was by the Sophomores and the Freshmen. The heavy Fresh- man team failed to produce r.s much goods as the lighter Sophomores and lost, 20 to 0. The championship game was between the Seniors and Sophomores. This was the best game of the series and showed that all the good men were not on the Varsity and Scrub teams. Much of the excellent qualities exhibited by these teams was due to the training and management of Coach Howell for the Sophomores and John Moose for the Seniors. Moose put out the best team and won, 12 to 0. The large 16 painted on the tank in the colors of the class is the emblem of which all Seniors are most proud. The All-Class team played the Scrubs January 29. The game was one of the best of the year. Both teams were well trained and played hard. The Scrubs won, 1 3 to 0. This game was the last one of a very successful season. Being the only regular basketball man to return, Captain Gaddy has had some little trouble in developing a good team from the new material. He also had the record of the 1915 team before him, and saw the necessity of having a good five to uphold the record made by that team. However, he and Coach Hayes got busy and developed the new material so well that they were again in a dilemma. Neither could decide which men to pick from about eleven good men, and when the time came for the first game, which was on a trip, they took the first nine they thought of, promising to take the others on the next trip. The first game was played in Laurel versus the Laurel Y. A. M. won easily, and the team went to New Orleans to meet Tulane in a two-game series. This resulted in defeat for A. M. in both games. On the next night they played L. S. U. at Baton Rouge and lost to them in a hot contest. The trip showed the inexperience of the A. M. team and also inaccuracy in throwing baskets. After returning home and practicing another week, the team left for Memphis to play the Y there. The personnel of the team was changed as promised. The game in Memphis resulted in a close defeat for A. M. Next on the same trip came a two-game series with Ole Miss, A. M. ' s ancient rival. In the first game the Bulldogs won easily by a score of 28 to 9. At the time of the writing of this the schedule had not been played off, but the team was playing better together, and all were looking for a successful season and hoping the team would win the rest of the games. Although local fans could not see where A. M. would get a good baseball team to fill the 1915 schedule. Coach Chadwick developed one that was able to hold its own against the best Southern teams. At the opening of the season only one of the regular pitchers reported, and it looked for awhile as if he would have to do all of the twirling, but not so, for within a few weeks Coach Chadwick had three of the best pitchers in (121) j.. L . i! , i j- i . ' iii . i i ' , ' , ' .. i , .. . i. ' ul ' . ' . , ' ■ u ,1 ■ ' . ' ■wgpwyswwTgww ft ■. college baseball on his roster. All of the regular infielders were back and all the out- fielders except one, so when the time neared for the first game to be played, the clouds of doubt had blown over, and all were looking forward to a successful season. The first game was played in Columbus versus Vanderbilt and resulted in a 2-2 tie. Both teams played good ball, although it was cold. After returning home Captain Frentz led the team against the University of Illinois. The weather was cold and A. M. suffered two defeats at their hands. Next the Mississippi College team came to the campus, and were defeated in both games of the series. Then Captain Frentz and thirteen players left for a week ' s trip through Georgia. It resulted with a split bill with each of the three main colleges of that State, A. M. losing the first game of the series with Mercer, Tech, and the U. of Ga , and winning the second in each case. The first week after their return home the Aggies met and defeated the L. S. U. Tigers in both games of their series. This seemed to put more confidence into the team, and they took both games from Sewanee in their series on the campus during the same week. Next came A. M. ' s old rivals and a team that was contending for the S. I. A. A. championship, the University of Alabama. The teams met in Columbus, and Alabama won both games, thereby winning the championship of the South. The following week brought on three games with another old rival, Auburn, in Columbus. The Aggies went into the series determined to win, and took the first two games. Thus ended one of the hardest schedules A. M. had ever played. Looking over the entire results, one would regard the season as a successful one. Out of the twenty-three games played, A. M. won fourteen and tied two. Consider- ing the hard schedule, this was as much as could have been expected. On the cinders, the Mississippi A. M. athletes acquitted themselves well, and with Captain Don Scott leading, the squad upheld the prestige and standard established for A. M. by teams preceding them. The 1914-1915 season opened about the first of May in a dual meet with Ala- bama. The Alabamians were unable to offer any strong opposition, losing all except one first place to the A. M. athletes. In this meet every man showed good form, with Captain Scott leading in the point winning. Parker was strong in both the pole vault and the broad jump. Biglane took the high jump, Gaddy the sprints, and Renfrow both the high and low hurdles. Mississippi A. M. won the Southern Intercollegiate meet at New Orleans in easy fashion, totaling 59 points to her nearest competitor ' s 28. Nine first places and five new records was the toll taken by the Mississippians. The Aggies showed the most evenly-balanced team ever exhibited in the Association. In every event, with a single (122) • : -V - J -f - ' -■. ■■■ ■ ' : v-:t ' if- - ' y ■ a fcl £ i - j i g exception, they put over either a first or other point winner. The only event in which the Aggies failed to place was the high hurdles. Captain Scott was the bright star of the meet, winning both the quarter and half- mile, and setting a new Association record for each event. In addition he was anchor man on the relay team. Noble took two first in the dashes, Wells running a close second in both events. Parker set a new record in the pole vault, Biglane won the high jump, Spurlock, Veasey, and McArthur easily won the weights. Rea, Powe, and Renfrow placed in the mile, half-mile, and low hurdles, respectively. Gaddy and Milam ran well in the dashes and the quarter-mile. The mile relay was easy for the Aggies, with Wells, Milam, Gaddy and Scott establishing the team ' s supremacy over the other en- trants. A new Association record was set for the relay.

MAtiiuauiia yAifl And the Reason Was T was the first summer of that horribly devastating war which had embraced all Europe. Of course, those people who were habitual travelers must find some place where they could be conveniently and unconsciously relieved of their too-well filled purses. Since it was practically out of the question to go abroad, and there furnish a host for the myriads of parasitical hotel- keepers and guides, they turn their eyes back over America. People indigenous to the community, whether small or large, very sel- dom appreciate that community. Those points which form the alluring ethical element; those that are most interesting historically; those that are fascinating scientifically, are never considered divesting, educational, and interesting as long as there are expeditious forms of travel which convey one to another community. The shadows of the Huron were beginning to lengthen over the rippling water of the river. Voluminous clouds ' of smoke rolled from the funnels, and the last of the dilatory passengers were coming aboard. They were not hurrying, for the day was insufferably warm, and also, the Huron was not an excursion boat, but was a lake-transit. As the gigantic paddle-wheels turned over and over (for the Huron was a side- wheeler), the splashing water hanging mist-like in the air made a beautiful rainbow. And now as the steamer came into Lake Erie, the sun was just beginning to drop below the horizon. It appeared as a molten disk lowered into the water, and one could imagine the hissing and boiling this would cause. Now, as the sun dropped lower, the glass- like lake began to change into a mammoth pot of copper, and the evening breezes lapped the deck-awning. Gradually darkness enveloped the whole lake, and one by one the twinkling stars began to show themselves. Soon the clock in the pilot-house chimed one bell, and as it resounded over the water, the passengers sat awed for a moment, as though this was the knell of parting day. Evelyn Laronge reclined in a roomy steamer-chair on the upper deck, watching with interest the gigantic walking beam as it swung up and down. This rut-like applica- tion of energy reminded her of a number of people she knew, forever driving themselves onward in the performance of their duty and never making an iota of progress. What they lacked in their treadmill existence was surely not perseverence, it must be something more essential to success. Her mind was groping for an answer when her sister Eunice strolled up and leaned against the railing. (235) (I ' r ] ' ! : rfi i -if n i ii at 4. • . ■ ,.:V •- I believe we will enjoy this lake cruise immensely. Don ' t you? And everyone seems so amiable, too. The captain was just explaining how they determined the speed of the boat with that little affair he calls a log. The two sisters remained on deck quite late that night, talking, and it wasn ' t until the watch was changed that they thought of retiring. Mr. Laronge was the senior partner of Laronge Phillips, one of the leading stock-brokerage firms of Chicago. This trip was planned principally for the younger daughter, Evelyn, who had just completed her last year at college. It was only after a warm discussion that Mr. Laronge would consent to the two young ladies making the trip alone. Eunice, however, was a confirmed old-maid, and declared that she could take care of her little sister. That was a most delightful trip up the lakes, for the weather was nearly perfect and the passengers proved unusually congenial. The Huron had gone through Lake Erie to the Detroit River; through Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River, and up Lake Huron to Sault Ste. Marie. At the Soo the captain had been warned of foggy weather, so they were coming down the North Channel at about half speed. It seemed incredible that such a passage as this was navigable for a passenger steamer. Emerging from the water were myriads of islands — some large, some small, some void of any growth, being merely titanic rocks projecting from the channel, and others densely covered with vegetation of all kinds. They had been rightly named the Ten Thousand Islands, and undoubtedly, if one had attempted to count them, they would have seemed several times that number. At about four bells, that afternoon, Evelyn and her sister were leaning on the railing, studying with awed admiration the frowning walls of Devils Gap. Thus far on the trip they had contented themselves with each other ' s company, despite the fact that the captain had introduced to them a number of the passengers, among which were several young business men from Detroit, Chicago, and Cleveland. It seemed as though Evelyn had shown a little partiality to Graham, the second mate, an attractive young fellow of twenty-four, who had been very courteous to them during the entire trip. As Evelyn and her sister watched the water foam against the jagged rocks at the base of the Gap, Graham descended the stairs to the main deck. Oh, Miss Laronge, would you like to come up to the pilot house where you can see the range lights I told you of yesterday? When they had reached the upper deck Graham remarked, You see, when we are in open water, we can sail by the compass, but through channels and rivers we adjust our course to the range lights. There are always two, placed about one hundred yards apart, one being the height of the first, and the other the height of the second deck. When we get in line, you see we are on the right course. (236) W T? mtgwvq rwrwr y ff Evelyn was never satisfied with a first explanation, and she now inquired, What do you do in case of a fog, and you can ' t see the lights? Oh, we usually come to anchor and wail until the fog lifts, Graham replied. They sat on the upper deck talking, until the last of the seagulls had ceased to fol- low the boat, and the clock in the pilot house had chimed eight bells. Eunice decided that she was quite infatuated with the beauty of the islands, and that her unfinished novel required attention. Straightening up in the chair, she said, This air doesn ' t improve one ' s health, so I believe I will go below and read. And turning, as she placed her foot on the stairs, she said, Don ' t stay out in this air too late, Evelyn. They talked about books, traveling, airships, plays, and a variety of other subjects. It was very surprising to Evelyn to hear the intelligent manner in which Graham dis- cussed these various subjects, for he was quite a versatile young man. She inquired why he had selected steamboating as his vocation, and was a great deal more surprised to know that he was affiliated with one of the most prominent real estate firms of Detroit, and was sailing merely to regain his health. Night was nearly at the end of its course, and the watch on the bridge had just called out, Six bells. The Huron had increased from half to full speed, for the cap- tain had just decided that he was out of the fog zone. Ahead could plainly be seen the range lights of one of the most dangerous passages in the entire channel. Here about ten years ago the freighter Flying Eagle, loaded with coal, had been wrecked, despite the foghorn and lighthouse, in an arrow ' s flight of the rocks upon which the ship foundered. Several hundred yards down the shore still remained the skeleton of a sailing vessel, bleaching on the rocks. Both disasters were justly attributed to the treach- erous fogs. Graham was descending the fo ' c ' s ' le steps after having been relieved by the first mate on the bridge. He peered out into the inky blackness and could barely discern the trees looming up in the darkness on both sides of the vessel. Occasionally a disturbed seagull would flap into the air, crying out like a tortured child. Rapidly and stealthily a dense, impenetrable fog dropped over the water. Immedi- ately the mate on the bridge reached for the signal lever, and two bells clanged out in the darkness — the signal for half speed. Before the echoes had ceased three bells — the command for reversing the engines — pealed forth. Instantaneously with this there was a perceptible grating, as thou gh the hull was sliding on rocks, and suddenly a deafening crush of rending timbers, wrenching steel, and hissing of steam, as water came in contact with the overheated furnaces. After a final quiver the ship lay still. Graham ' s first thought was of the ladies, for whose safety he felt responsible. He immediately ran forward to their stateroom, number 84, and upon receiving a response of Are we sinking? to his knock, replied in a commanding tone, Get ready to leave the ship as quickly as possible. He then hurried forward to find out the seriousness of the (237) -- ' — - - --T — - I • -«, -ii - ' i « 1 1 i accident. At the forward salon he met the captain, who was rushing around in a frenzied manner, endeavoring to console some of the passengers. When Graham reached the ship ' s bow he could clearly see the trees looming up immediately before him. It was all very clear; they had run into a partially submerged island, which had torn off a number of the steel plates, and the hull was now rapidly filling with water. It was evident that they must prevent the vessel from sliding back into the channel, for here the water was over twenty fathoms deep. As the first mate came up, Graham shouted, Hadn ' t we better put out some cables, sir? With one comprehen- sive glance, the superior officer commanded to the crew, One of you swim ashore and catch a line. We will then put a couple of cables to those trees. In less than a quarter of an hour this was accomplished, and they were ready to examine the extent of the damage. Just then Evelyn and her sister rushed up, and together they hysterically inquired, Have they lowered the lifeboats, Mr. Graham? Is there any chance of our getting ashore alive? In a jocular tone, the mate replied, Why, there is nothing to fear, Miss Laronge. We just stopped here to take in water. His reassuring manner and mild treatment of the affair soon convinced the young ladies there was no immediate danger. Trembling, they walked over to the side of the boat, where there were several deck chairs tumbled together as a result of the terrific impact with which the boat had lunged against the rocks. Graham, having anticipated their inten- tions, reached the railing just as they did, and laughingly said, as he straightened up a couple of chairs, That was a rather bad jar, wasn ' t it? And looking up, he ex- claimed, Why, Miss Laronge, you are deathly pale; let me assist you to this chair. He reached Evelyn just in time to prevent her falling to the deck. Very gently he raised her in his arms, and said to Eunice, We will let her rest awhile: this must have been a terrible shock. Probably it will be best to adjust one of these chairs so she can remain out in the open. Graham placed Evelyn in one of the capacious deck-chairs. Eunice now came back with some cold water, with which she bathed her sister ' s face and hands. Immediately Evelyn opened her eyes, and gradually the color returned to her cheeks. I feel rather ashamed of myself, Mr. Graham; please don ' t think I ' m easily affected always, but I really didn ' t rest well last night, and this seemed completely to unnerve me. They now had the gang plank out from the lower deck to one of the projecting rocks. Gathered in a little group on the island were several of the ship ' s officers, dis- cussing what the best course of action would be. The captain spoke up, I guess the only thing that we can do is to send someone to the nearest port, which is Killarney, fifteen miles down the bay. Here they can telegraph to Detroit, and in several days we can have a wrecking tug up here. There need be no worry about provisions, for the storeroom and refrigerator were well filled at the ' Soo. ' Mr. Graham, do your utmost (238) ■ ' . - W$ f J «• ' . ) V ■ ' ... ' { jj« ' « js ?

I ' ll send a launch to the ' Soo ' with a message of our trouble. The second mate examined the huge rent in the ship ' s bow. Fortune had indeed favored them this time, for if the vessel had slid into the water she would have filled and sunk in a few moments. The bottom eight feet of the fore part of the hull was com- pletely sheared off, so terrific was the momentum of the ship. They were also very for- tunate because of the shape and formation of the rocks, which held the ship upright, and so the passengers could remain on board, instead of having the discomforts of camp life on the island. Just as he was leaving the dining room Graham met Evelyn, who was going toward her stateroom. Dont ' you think that this is a most beautiful island, Mr. Graham? I do wish we could get off the boat and explore a little. Isn ' t there some way of putting out a gang plank? A stroll in the cool shade would be delightful. ' ' If you feel sufficiently recovered from your shock, we will go hunting for hidden treasures. That cool shade along this shore appears rather alluring, so let ' s stroll down the beach, Miss Laronge. The dew sparkled irrescentally on the leaves and grass like pearls and opals. 1 he miniature waves chased each other up onto the sand and laughingly receded over the pebbles. At intervals along the shore were colossal boulders, leaning far out over the water as though endeavoring to peer into the transparent depths. Lazily the cottony clouds drifted across the azure sky, and the water seemed satuated with their reflections. Far out over the bay a number of gulls were playing, and their strident cries were quite audible. Oh, Mr. Graham, isn ' t this a lovely spot? Let ' s sit here and rest awhile. You know this seems that we walked right through the covers into a novel. It appears like a dream, and I apprehend awakening any mmute. Never in all my life have I seen a more beautiful island. They sat down upon an old log that had been washed up onto the shore. 7 he breeze was delightfully refreshing as it swept across the bay, laden with the aroma of cedar trees that walled the opposite shore. Here they remained talking, until the sun had climbed nearly overhead. Graham had never even cared for any girl, much less been in love. He was quite well situated in business, was sure that he could have married without one thought, had this been the prohibitive factor. It was merely an idiosyncrasy of his to enjoy a quiet evening at the club more than a dance or a card party. Ever since he had been introduced to Evelyn Laronge, he had felt as though this kind of girl could make him thoroughly enjoy married life. Her attractiveness had im- pressed him more each time they met, until now he had really become infatuated with (239) WS9PP 9W9WW P B 99 f. £ £ % f f j S4 2v Sis P ? yf 7?! 75 I :;,- j ' : ' ; ' £•; ' ■ r .; ? ' - f ;:| _ ; Evelyn. However, she had given him very little encouragemnt, so he could not judge from her manner whether he was more than liked. Graham was dreamily gazing across the water when Evelyn interrupted his thoughts by saying, It ' s getting nearly lunch time. Hadn ' t we better walk back to the boat? I ' ll be nearly famished by the time we get there. As Graham worked with the crew until nearly midnight clearing away the debris, he had no opportunity of seeing Evelyn again that day. Sunrise on Georgian Bay is an incomparable sight. Evelyn being very desirous of witnessing the beauty of the awakening of day, had arisen quite early. The sky became light and slowly the twinkling stars disappeared. Gradually the heavens became covered with a vein of pink, which soon deepened into a faint flush, reflecting on the water like gold. Presently a crimson rim of the sun appeared on the horizon, which widened perceptibly. The earth was now awakening and the golden color changed to a yellow brass. Soon the entire glowing ball was visible, and it slowly arose toward the zenith, shedding its mellow light over land and water. Good morning, Miss Laronge. Did you ever see a more impressive sight than such a sunrise? I am inspired with its beauty. If I were an artist the first painting I would make would be a sunrise just like this. I feel rather dejected this morning. The captain thinks that it is necessary that someone should go back to the ' Soo ' to get a wrecking tug, because we couldn ' t reach one at Detroit. He decided on me, which means that I won ' t be back until evening. May I have a little tete-a-tete with you tonight? There ' s something I want to talk to you about. I ' ll be only too glad to see you. But be careful and don ' t run ashore with your launch, Evelyn said advisedly. Graham strode down the hatchway, and after storing a few provisions in the locker, stepped into the waiting launch. After a quick turn of the flywheel, the boat raced out into the open water with its bow toward Sault Ste. Marie. It was not until evening that Graham came down the channel. He was quite tired and reclined in the back of the launch, watching the flickering lights on the Huron. His thoughts were of Evelyn. Of course, he realized that this was rushing things, to ask her to marry him. But why not? He was an impetuous fellow, and this was a case of love at first sight. She must have realized that he was going to ask her tonight. Would she accept or refuse? At the thought of it, Graham ' s heart sounded louder to him than the engine. It would not be long before his question would be answered. Oh, if she only says ' Yes, ' Graham muttered aloud. As the launch drew up alongside the Huron it seemed as though things were unusually quiet. Every one must be in the forward salon, thought the second mate. He nervously tied the motor boat and climbed aboard. (240) mopmopManm fii n«i- in ' ■• ■ ' ' ■ ' ■ ■:...■■ — -. ■■ . — ■ - ' £ | i,; ,i ;.„ ;;,i , n i - „ .„,, i No sooner had he got to the first deck than he met the steward, who remarked, Well, I won ' t have to feed that bunch any more. What ' s the matter? Where are all the passengers? Oh, they sent a boat from Killarney with instructions to remove all passengers as quickly as possible, for the ' Huron ' is liable to slip back into the water any minute. Graham stumbled back to the railing. Where are Miss Laronge and her sister? They went, too. But say, what ' s the matter with you? Are you sick? Why, man, you look as though you are going to faint. By the way, here ' s a note the younger sister made me promise to give you. Rubbing his eyes with the back of one hard hand, Graham held out the other to receive the missive. The unexpectedness of their departure had nearly unnerved him. Such an opportunity! He straightened up, and after tearing open the envelope, nervously removed the letter. He glanced over the contents hurriedly. His hand trembled like an aspen leaf, and he was compelled to clutch the pillar for support. It couldn ' t be true. There must be some mistake. But there it was in delicate feminine writing. I can see it all; I have merely been a fool. The letter dropped from his hands to the floor, and he continued to gaze at it. It read: DEAR Mr. GRAHAM: I ' m awfully sorry not to see you again. George — you know George, my fiance — heard of our plight, saw it in the papers, and came out after us. We are leaving with him today. We certainly do appreciate Faintly across the channel came the cry of a disturbed seagull, and the evening breezes sighed through the fir trees. H. Dixon Falls, ' 16.

In sound ' twas like a lamb lost from the fold To go alone without a shepherd ' s care. It startled me, a casual passerby. And caused my questioning sense within to rise; The place in tranquil peace did seem to lie. Until the quiet was broken by those sighs. Engrossed in thought, I passed along the way And met an ancient prophet bent and grey. Kind Seer, I said, I would to speak with thee Of yonder gloomy castle towering near; Whence comes those sighs that float across the lea? The cries that fill the peasants ' hearts with fear? Tis called the Castle Tears, the Seer replied; The oldest of the castles of its day. ' Tis held in awe throughout the countryside By peasants who do its extinction pray. They fear the legend that is handed down Through years far past when ' knighthood was in flower; ' It tells of happenings round the kingly crown. And those that caused the rage of royal power. So spake the ancient Seer, and bade me hear The legend that is re-told year by year. Twas in the days when knights wooed ladies fair Upon their prancing steeds in armored mail; When knights would all a true love ' s perils dare To win a lady and ne ' er think to fail. Just such a knight rode to this castle ' s gate. Bedecked and mounted on a powerful brown. To seek the king ' s own daughter as his mate. And ask so great a favor of the crown. This knight had wooed the princess many a day. And vowed to claim her of the stern old lord; His heart was light, his soul was young and gay. While to himself he hummed an ancient bard. Thus quickly went he to the old king ' s side To claim the waiting daughter as his bride.

The lad but pleaded and the king but swore, And turned him from his walls to ne ' er return; The young man rode away with heart quite sore, But vowed to fight on while the love did burn. A few days past, and on a silvery night, When all the castle was in slumber deep, There scaled the walls what seemed to be a sprite, But ' twas the youth who silently did creep. The maid she met him and they fled away And were in distant lands by break of day. For many a day the old man sought the pair Without a halt through hamlets near and far; At last he found them, and without a care He wrecked their peace and joy with brutish war His rage was like a wounded bull just freed, And greater than a fast-descending storm; He killed the youth and satisfied his greed. Unheeding that he did his daughter harm. The princess cried her sadness to the winds Until she died, and bow her spirit moans; Some say ' tis but the moaning of the pines, But round the place I know her spirit roams. Thus spake the ancient Seer and took his leave, And I passed on to doubt, or to believe. Schesler, ' 18. (243) 3? J;; - ' ■ J I J.U., l . ii . lii . i ... u ■ I ■ mj p w i j l .JIJ II J.L.
