Alma Mater Today we gladly sing the praise Of her who owns us as her sons; Our loyal voices let us raise And bless her with our benisons. Of all fair mothers, fairest she, Most wise of all that wisest be, Most true of all the true, say we, Is our dear Alma Mater. Her mighty learning we would tell, Tho ' life is something more than lore; She could not love her sons so well Lov ' d she not truth and honor more. We praise her breadth of chanty, Her faith that truth shall make men free, That right shall live eternally, We praise our Alma Mater. The City White hath fled the earth. But where the azure waters lie, A nobler city has its birth, The City Gray that ne ' er shall die. For decades and for centuries Her battlemented tow ' rs shall rise Beneath the hope-filled western skies, ' Tis our dear Alma Mater. — Edwin F. Lewis, ' 94. Page twenty-one r Reveille-- - PRESIDENT W. H. SMITH HIS SERVICES TO MISSISSIPPI EGAN teaching in the public schools of Clay County, in 1 883. Worked his way through Iuka Normal College, graduating 1 889. Principal of high schools at Ackerman, Eupora, and Durant, successively, 1890-1903. Superintendent of Education, Holmes County, 1903-10. In 1907 he organized the Boys ' Corn Club movement, which has spread to every State in the Union, and has earned for him the nation-wide title of Corn Club Smith. State Rural School Supervisor, 1910 12, 1912-1-4. In this capacity he organized the first consolidated rural schools of the State, and helped to organize the first agricultural high schools. President State Normal College, 1912, but resigned to con- tinue work as Rural School Supervisor. Appointed by the Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C, a member of the commission to visit and study the schools and industrial system of Denmark, 1913. President State Teachers ' Association, 1912-13. State Superintendent of Education, 1914-16. President Southern Conference for Education and Industry, 1915-16. Appointed President Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, 1916. The above record speaks for itself. The work he has done for the public school system of the State is known to everyone. That in his new field he will do a similar service for the institutions of higher education is the confident belief of the thousands who know him. By his fair-mindedness and square dealing with students, Presi- dent Smith has done much to promote discipline and foster a healthy college spirit here. Under his administration, the institu- tion seems likely to realize the prophecy: Three thousand stu- dents in 1920. Page IB ' e nty -iifo — u C : .■:;:.V,3-- : :i--j s v A i| ' ' N v ; .■ ' ■ ' .

GENERAL SCIENCE A friend, a gentleman, what more can Me say? Eli plunged right into the heart of things from the start and now is at the end of things so far as this stage of the game is concerned. A better representative of A. and M. never left these stately portals and after the wonderful game is begun our Alma Mater will be proud of this son. He has all the maiks of a gentleman and a good citizen. Captain and Ser; tain Co. H. Manager of the Cross Country and Track Team: Cap- FRANK. AGNEW Baldwyn, Miss. AGRICULTURE A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays And confident tomorrows. Frank joined us in our Sophomore year. From the beginning he has been a conscientious, persistent worker; a good student, and a clear thinker. In the past three years he has shown his ability to solve the problems that will confront him in life. He is a man of actions, not words. Through his sterling qualities he has won many friends in college. Frank is preparing himself to be a first class scientific dairyman. Judging from his life among us we predict for him a happy and successful future. Lee County Club; Veterinary Science Club: Dairy Club: Y. 11. C. A.; Private Co. F. Prentiss Boyd Agnew Baldwyn, Miss. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING The greatest truths are the simplest: so are the greatest men. ' Possessed with an unusual mind, a resolution to understand a thing before accepting it, and the ability to stick to it until he has succeeded, Colonel has stood at the head of our class since joining it in March of nineteen fourteen. Through his friendliness, his unobtrusive demeanor and a record that is unsurpassed, he has won the admiration and esteem of all who know him. Y. M. C. A.; Philotechnie Literary Society; Engineering Club; Fellowship Man in Depart- ment of Physics. Benjamin Franklin Anthony Wiggins, Miss. AGRICULTURE Always tell the truth. Nobody is going to believe you anyway. And it ' s lots more fun than lying. Mark, or Ben, deserves much credit, for he has not only worked his way through college, but has done excellent work in his classes and has taken a leading part in all student activities as well. His literary ability is recognized by the faculty and student body. Ben ' s ambition is to lake a course in journalism at Columbia University, and we expect to read great things from his pen in after years. Ben has a keen sense of humor and can enjoy fun to the fullest. It is a well known fact that when he becomes hungry he will go out foraging and generally return with wings like a bird ' s. Here ' s lo you, Ben, we as a class wish you successs in the profession for which you are so well suited.

James Pierce Applewhite Ki Mi CIVIL ENGINEERING Some men would raiher sleep an hour later than wal(e up and find themselves famous. That ' s pretty keen, I think. Yes, that ' s Jim, the bully guy that ' s so hard, and if you don ' t believe it, kindly observe that from those eyes when Felix and Whit displease him. From White Eyes ' extremely unscholarly demeanor you would never suspect him of having anything above his shoulders but bone, but Gay ' s Hydraulics and Buz ' s Mechanics are intellectual dissipation for this phenom. and Strength of Materials doesn ' t last one round with him. He is the prize dry wit, a very model for Beau Brummel, and from all outward appearances a pessimist that can ' t be bothered. But we all know he doesn ' t mean it, and his heart is as big as the moon. Lee Guards, ' 15- ' 17; Engineering Club. Howard Brown Arnold Arkadelphia, Ark. AGRICULTURE Beauty, rvil and noise is all I find. Arkansas, or Benedict, is a typical razor back of the old school, and lumbered into this locality sometime back in the annals of history. When alone he is usually quiet, but when academic results are announced or a Calico comes within hailing distance he is about the place with much hilarity. It is whispered around that way back in the foothills of the Ozarks there awaits the femme. Good luck, Benedict, in this the great venture. The whole class wishes for you a long and happy career.

AGRICULTURE Let the old world rocl( as she u ill, I ' ll be happy still; For life is what you mal(e d. Another one of Starkville ' s products that answered roll call for the first time in 13. He is a living example of You can ' t keep a good man down, and holds a prominent corner in the hearts of all who know him. We believe that Hunter will make good in any line of work that happens to fall his lot, and we know that if he is given something to do within the agricultural sphere success is his. Town Prep ' s Club; Town Prep Football, Baseball and Basketball; Veterinary Private Co. F. :ience Club; Howell C. Baker Brandon, Miss. AGRICULTURE Not afraid of n or£, but not in sympathy with it. Bake is a product of Rankin County. He is slow and easy-going and seldom answers a question before the Prof can ask it. Not a shark in any special line, but a steady fellow whom everybody is bound to like. He has become a very popular member of the class, for he is quiet and unassuming and never interferes with the affairs of others. In all that he undertakes we wish him the success that always comes from good. Rankin County Club; Vet. Science (Tub; Class Football, ' 13; Scrub Football, ' 1G; V. M. ( ' . A.; Private Co. A. POSTON GOAR BEDENBAUGH Como, Miss. AGRICULTURE A good heart and a level head. Though short of stature, Shorty has shown his ideas to be of the highest. He has established him- self firmly with his friends here at old A. and M. by his earnestness, sincerity, and pleasant nature. Gladly he leaves the enjoyment of the military life to Major Broome. He does not appreciate the attractiveness of the chemical laboratory, but as an Agronomist in the near future he is to show Dr. Robert what a broad subject Agriculture is. And Shorty, our sincerest wish is for your success in placing Mississippi at the head of the list among the States of Dixie. Y. M.

AGRICULTURE The best tenor in the United Slates Army or Navy — you don ' t beliexe it asfy Co. B. ' Tony, or Captain, inherits the artistic temperament that is the birthright of every child of sunny Italy. He is easi ' y one of the most popular men in the class, and his range of activities includes the Y. M. C. A. as well as the wildest revels of the Ox Drivers. As Captain of Company B Tony proved that a good disciplinarian may be popular. His ambition is to be a grand opera tenor, for which position he is eminently fitted, but if the Madam insists he may become a frenized financier.

AGRICULTURE The greatest element of luclf. Is genuine, solid, old Teutonic plucl(. J. E., known by many of his friends as Kernel, ' ' came to us first in 1903, but due to the death of his father had to drop out to help support his mother and sisters. He returned again in 1913-1914, taught the next year and came back to us (thanks to the leniency of Cupid) to finish with the class of ' 17. Kernel has had much practical experience in teaching and practical agriculture, and considering this with his great pluck, we predict for him great success in his chosen field — agriculture.

Clifford Nathaniel Brandon Prairie, Miss. civil engineering To conquer and succeed has been his aim, and ma]) his future years he as faithful as his college days. Goat, the Freshman terror, has been with us the last four years, and in that time he has, by means of his charming personality and ability as an athlete, become one of the best known and most popular boys on the campus. Civil Engineering is his chosen profession, and from the enthusiasm which he displays in his work we feel assured that he is without a doubt already a success in this line of endeavor. Goat leaves us in June to take his place in the field of engineering, and with him will go the best wishes from the entire class and corps. George Rittes; M. A. S.

GENERAL SCIENCE A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smofye. Bulls is a quiet, unassuming kind of a fellow who never evades The demands that are made on him in class. He is a friend to all, and is never too busy to stop and assist someone with a difficult prob- lem. His favorite pastime is chasing molecules around in the haunts of Doc Hand, and judging from the fact that he has already entered his life ' s work, he must be proficient in capturing these Agile Aggregates. He spends his spare time at I. I. and C, where he has particular interest in The Female of the Species.

AGRICULTURE Man wants but little here below. Nor wants that little long. Fellers, I ain ' t puttin ' out nuthing. This is a by-word of Chester ' s, but if you ever need a friend. one that is loyal, unselfish, and true, you can cali on this boy and find a ready response. His course at the summer normal won for him the name of Buddie. the boy that couldn ' t be worried, but the time that he has been with us has left stamped in the amber of memory the fact that he stood for every- thing that is open and above board.

Far back in the annals of history in a little North Mississippi town something happened. It was the awakening of a village lad. He wanted More life and fuller, and we got him in nineteen thirteen. His ideals were high and his ambition had reached the maximum. Had Edison and Steinmetz come in contact with this lad they would have faded into mere oblivion. Gov. ' has plugged away, fight- ing for every inch of ground gained with the sincere purpose always his guiding star, and has won. This lad now has the highest title that we mortals can have bestowed upon us — he is a man. President M. A. S. E. ; W. O. W. Club: Tate County Club Hawks; Y. M. C. A.; Sabre Co.; Private Co F. Loyal Brothers ' club; Night William Walton Broome Lexington, Miss. AGRICULTURE Duty is the sublimest word in the English language. As major of the first battalion, Broome often found himself under a circumstance requiring tact and resolution. As a disciplinarian he showed a high degree of executive ability. He was distinguished for his many sidedness (aside from his military rank.) He is a prominent member of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet and is relied upon as one of the most dependable debaters on the Varsity team. Personally, Broome is a likeable fellow of the gladhand type; and although he denies any acquaintance with Cupid, those closest to him say his heart is full of exclamation points.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION Love not the Tvorld for wealth, but for friends. Doc started at the outbreak of hostilities and has been a good soldier ever since. He is a firm believer that knowledge comes to those that seek it, and to this end he has labored persistently and honestly. He is gifted with spurts of oratory, and as a result of several speeches that he has made in the adjoining cities, he has decided to make law his profession. We hope that he will be satisfied with nothing less than Attorney General. Character Builders ' S. S. Class; Dialectic Literary Society; Town Prep Club; Private Co. F. EARL BRUNSON Enterprise, Miss. AGRICULTURE To l(eep off the rocl(s, obey the rudder. 1 his subject is not a real Mexican, but he believes that Carrranza must be conquered. For some reason he has a title all his own. Whether he achieved it or had it thrust upon him we do not know, but Francisco is his name. Brunson has made his M for the past two seasons in football, and has played his position with all of the Muck there was in him. He has hit the academic line just as hard as he did any of the teams we played, and we know that the game will continue after he has left us.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING To his friends true, to his studies faithful — but as to military, he is not ambitious. Buck is a man of unswerving loyalty to his class and friends, Wilh his everlasting smile and con- sideration for everyone, very few men have his possibilities of success in life. While in military he does not care which way the wind blows, in academic work he is never found lacking, and in the social realm he has qualities that are rare indeed. With his inventive mind and unusual energy we expect for him a marvelous career in the electrical world. V. M. C. A.: M. A. P. E. ; Wilkerson County Club. James William Butler Quitman, Miss. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING He lil(es to study the love that lives in a Maiden ' s eyes, and lies and lies and lies. A gentleman by nature, a student by choice, handsome by luck, witty by chance, wise by experience — that ' s Jimmie. He escaped from the piny woods of Clark County and landed here in ' 15. A favorite with the ladies, and vice versa. He always studies first and entertains afterwards. His constant smile and cheery, Hello, fellows, has won him a host of sincere friends; his fair, square policy towards one and all has made him exceedingly popular. A No. I is his only rival as Spud Millighan Stcwer of the I Should Worry Club. Ambition: To win the fairest maiden that Mississippi grows. President of the Masonic Club, ' lfi- ' lT; President W. .

William Horace Carpenter Starkville, Miss. AGRICULTURE Patient, persistent effort is often the price of success. William, one of the noted Town Preps, has proved himself one of the best men in the class. He is diligent and attentive. From the first the class recognized in William a leader, and he has shown him- self equal to the occasion. William is a hard worker, but always willing to lend a helping hand. He will take further work in chemistry, and as the pages of history are turned it will not be surprising to see of some great expeument brought to a successful end by Dr. William Horace Carpenter.

ENGINEERING, CIVIL AND MINING The proper study of mankind is man. The most perplexing one. no doubt, is Woman. Sid hails from the dear old county of Tate, and if Tate has any more just like him we are asking that they be sent down this way at once. He is a man of few woids, but he hits the line hard every hour of the day. His happiest moments are the pipe-dream ones, and he is often caught murmuring telepathic messages to that little girl in the far-off West. His greatest ambition is to run a set of differential levels from the equator to the north pole. Loyal Brothers ' Club; Tate County Club; Night Hawks; M. A. S. E. : Y. M. C. A.; Private Co. F. Homer Adolphus Cliett Pheba, Miss. AGRICULTURE As many as have fynown him have become his frien ds. Dock fell in our column late in the fray, but by dint of hard work and close application has com- pleted the course. Not a shark in any special line, but a plugger and a man you are bound to like. He has become very popular with his quietness, and if asked what makes the tip of his nose red at times, he replies, It ' s blushing with admiration because it isn ' t stuck in someone else ' s business. Those who know him intimately appreciate his qualities and declare him to be a man worthy of consideration.

Sister, or Daughter, came to us in the fall of 14 and has shared each care with us through these waning years. A word of encouragement for the disheartened and a smile of cheer for the sorrowful is Sister ' s most lovable trait. It has been sufficiently proven that the ladies are fond of him, by the amount of mail that he receives daily. He gets more letters than any other man in school. He believes that two heads are better than one and that in union there is strength. Daughter, here is wishing you success in your chosen vocation. Chairman Devotional Committee, Y. M. C.

Oliver Wyatt Collins Ellisville, Miss. AGRICULTURE Tis belier to love what you cannot have, Than have what you cannot love. Dad is nol built along the lines of a drawing-room specialist, but it is said that in the wilds of Jones County he can shake a foot with the best of them. He was once a soldier, back in 1916, but border life didn ' t appeal to him. Dad has advanced views in matrimonial philosophy and on the treat- ment of veterinary diseases, by a combination of mesmerism and osteopathy. In the future he intends to apply all these theories to conditions in the piney woods. Secretary Jones County Club; Agricultural Club; Tea-totaler Ox Drivers: T. M. C. A.: Dia- lectic Literary Society; Symphonetic (?) Orchestra; Chicken Research Club: Rabbit Hunters ' Club; Private Co. B. William Harvey Cook Hattiesburg, Miss. AGRICULTURE Through inquiry a man finds many truths. Harvey has crowded a four years ' course into three and will easily finish the required work. His desire for the truth is evidenced by the fact that he seeks it by relentless inquiry. Chemistry seems to have been his favorite subject, but, as a matter of fact, he specialized in animal husbandry. Cook intends to put his scientific training into practice in the near future on his farm near Artesia. May all your efforts be crowned with success, Harvey. Vet. Science Club; Forest County Club; Town Prep Club; Class Football, ' 14: Y. M. C. A. Garrett Douglas Cowsert Goodman, Miss. AGRICULTURE Admired by his class, Loved by a lass, W hat may come to pass? — Oh, well. We can only guess. Of (he deserving sons Holmes County has sent to us none deserve more credit than the subject of this sketch. Cowsert came to A. and M. in September, 1914, having graduated from the Holmes County Agricultural High School in May of that year. His high sense of honor and cheerful disposition soon won for him an enviable position in the esteem of his fellow-students. Of him it may be said that he worked his way through college in the Dairy Department, in which he has specialized. He fully understands the details of producing and of manufacturing dairy products. The fair young Miss who captures him need not necessarily know how to pail the milk or churn the cream. Y. M. C. A.; Parliamentarian of Philotechnic Literary Society; Secretary and Treasurer or Holmes County Club; Dairy Club; Private Co. L. RHEUBEN Cox Booneville, Miss. AGRICULTURE Good character is a valuable asset to any life. Cox ' s specialty is dairying, and we consider him an excellent product of Prof. Moore ' s art. Although not a mathematician, Rheuben has been working for the last two years on an original, unsolved prob- lem, viz.: Can two live as cheaply as one? Through the foui years of his college course Cox has proven himself a good student, a loyal friend, and an all-round good fellow. The class expects you to be one of the best dairymen in the state. Vet. Science Club; Dairy Club; Prentiss County Club: Y. M. C. A.; Private Co. D. Henry Thorne Crosby Leland, Miss. AGRICULTURE His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles, his love sincere, his thoughts immaculate. From the glint in his eye one might suppose that he has a gun on his hip. but those who know Henry, as everyone in school does, know that unless it is to keep away the girls Henry will never need one. He just can ' t make an enemy. Henry is characterized by a cheerful grin, which has been one of the chief assets of the firm of Crosby and Crump for the past three years. He is one of the honor men of the class, averaging well in his studies, and he leaves in June to take up hog farming as an active profession. George Rifles; Y. M. C.

Bojwcll, the most eminent writer of biography, says that the only way to be able to write the life of a man is to eat and sleep with him. I o this clever observation, the biographer of Poncel Davis asserts, even if somewhat reluctantly, but with regard for the readers of memoirs, to the accusation enforced by the references. Davis confesses a liking for the girls, a statement which can be verified by reference to the various letters going to Virginia, Tennessee, and Columbus. Another striking object of Pon- cet ' s college activities is that of his interest manifested in dancing even if Geology and Bugs did not receive their portion of his interests.

( £f£i Reveille- History of the Class of ' 1 7 EPTEMBER the fifteenth, nineteen thirteen, was the birth date of a new- class at the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College — the birth date of the Class of ' 17, two hundred and fifty-seven strong. This army of Freshmen gathered to invade the fields of knowledge; to be sat- isfied with nothing less than all of it. The ordeals of matriculation, classi- fication, and registration over, these Freshmen set to work. Their first opportunity for spectacular achievement came on the football field. Though untutored in the college game, the Freshmen eleven entered the championship series con- fident; they emerged triumphant. Their initial success gave them strength, and when basketball came, the Freshmen again won. After these exertions, which put the blue and gray ' I 7 on the tank, these Freshmen returned to their books with redoubled energy, lest the final examinations prove to be their Waterloo. Success to this young class was not a restricted term applying to athletics only. It meant achievement intellectually ; it meant achievement morally; it mean the development of the all-round man. The close of the first year in college found the Class of ' 17, with a very few regrets, looking con- fidently to the three years that stretched out before them. September, nineteen fourteen, found this class returned. They were now Sopho- mores, although disclaiming affiliation with their class name (for the word Sophomore, they had been told by one of their English professors, is derived from two Greek words meaning wise fool ). Their greenness was now worn off; their ranks had been thinned, for some preferred facing the cold world to facing the Registrar, the Commandant, and the studies which they had flunked. Some of the places made vacant were filled by new men with fresh high school dips, and the class started on its second year. Satisfied with having placed nearly all of their Freshmen heroes on the Varsity squads, the Sophomores turned their energy to things other than athletics. They took an impor- tant part in the Y. M. C. A. work. They filled important places in the literary socie- ties, and won the only intercollegiate debate in which they participated. In this year, too, the dark Angel of Death entered their ranks, leaving them to mourn their classmate and friend, K.. Marion Kaiser. The third year for these men was the most important and eventful ot their first three. Men with responsibilities and experience, accustomed tc the ways of college life, and a band unified and strong, they were now holding tenaciously to what they had early conceived to be elements of success. Their debating teams proved themselves worthy of their selection, upholding the honor of the college in such a manner as to make the college proud of them; their Y. M. C. A. and other religious work was greater, and their academic record was even better than the records of the previous two years. Page one hundred I . Mk Reveille- The most important event of the year was the Junior banquet, an evening never to be forgotten by those who were there, where the ties binding the class together were drawn closer, where the noble ideals of the class were unveiled, and where the organization for the Senior year was perfected. Six weeks, and the third mile-post was passed, and the vacation was welcomed by all members of the class. Part of the enjoyment of the sum- mer months was made up of memories, part made up of anticipations: memories of three pleasant years of college life, anticipations of the Senior year, the year in which every member of the class hoped to see a worthy consummation of his A. and M. career. Soon the summer had passed, and with the coming of the fall of nineteen sixteen there returned to the college one hundred sixty-five of the Class of ' 17. They were Seniors now, in full possession of the privileges and responsibilities of Seniors. They were ready for the last quarter of that race through college, over the stage, and out into life. We find them now well developed and clinging to their ideal. They have sought to strengthen each side of the triangle — Mind, Spirit, Body. In athletics this class has excelled, having nine men on the Varsity squad, several S. I. A. A. record holders on the track, and a good representation on the baseball and basketball teams. Their development along the second side of the triangle is shown by their interest taken in the Y. M. C. A. and Sunday School work; and the triangle is completed by the record of their debaters, and by a record in the Registrar ' s office that will long serve as an inspiration for the succeeding classes. The academic career of the Class of ' 17 of the Mississippi Agricultural and Me- chanical College ends in June, but the history of the achievements of this class will be written by the succeeding generations to go thundering down the ages.

And behold, it came to pass, that in the nineteen hundred and fourteenth year, there came into A. M. College a tribe of mighty men. Yea, they were mightier than any other tribe that inhabited the land. 2. According to the law of the land, a leader was chosen, and this mighty tribe was given the name Freshmanites, and they did live and prosper and exceeding great joy abounded. 3. And it came to pass, that great battles arose in the land, and the Freshmanites were besieged on all sides, but the besiegers did repent and were so afraid and did retreat to their own land. For it is written that the terrible Seniontes did crawl within their own holes in fear and trembling. 4. And behold, by virtue of their great wisdom and strength, they were led into a brighter and richer land, and their name was called Sophomontes. And again great battles arose; some fell by the wayside, and some continued on in prosperity. 5. For thirteen score and ten days they did continue in this land of reveille and beans, gathering the abundant harvest of knowledge and experience, and making for themselves a name among the Professorites and Militarites. 6. And then they decided to rest themselves from their strenuous labors;; and they did depart throughout the land, and did apply them- selves diligently in preparing for the battles of the following year. 7. And it came to pass that they again assembled themselves to fight still greater battles. And they were called Juniorites. And all men did look upon them with admiration and respect for their strength and prowess. 8. And it came to pass that all the inhabitants of the A. M. College did behold them and marveled, and yea, verily, they did cry out, Truly the Junior Class will rule the land. . H. C, Historian. Page one hundred nineteen r A R eview Another year has passed us by, And pleasant days that now are done, Have in our visions clearer stamped A picture of the times to come. We ' ve finished now our Junior year. Three of the four steps he behind. We ' ve labored hard that we might taste The sweets that Knowledge wrings from Time. Since first as classmates here we met The Sisters three have clipped the threads. And now in cold and silent graves Three comrades he neath grassy spreads. Some others since have joined with us To penetrate the dimming haze That cloaks from view the goal we seek — Successful end of college days. A brother class the soft sweet notes Of taps and tatto hear no more, To them the peals of reveille Is but an echoed dream of yore. They willed to us the privilege To guard the memories of these halls To them we wish long happy years Along the paths where duty calls. Just one more year and then we hope Our dips upon our walls will rest, The legal testimony that Each proud possessor did his best. When once again the roll is called. Let each begin on pages clean A record that will ever stand A monument to Class 18. Class Poet. Pag one hundred iTreniy yPHOMORJ .

We soon became accustomed to our new places of abode, and no doubt our higher classmen can tell you that we showed them a warm time in all college activities. Our class enjoys the distinction of being the largest class that the A. and M. College has ever had, and probably this is one reason why we were the greenest set of boys to enter in many years. In athletics we did our part toward furnishing good men. In Dutch Schwill we gave the Varsity football team one of the best fullbacks that the college has ever known. He enjoys the honor of being given a place on this team during his first year in col- lege. During our present year we furnished other good men in Fikes. McWilhams, and Thweatt, who promise to make star players during the next two years of their college career. Although we have had no men on the Varsity basketball team during our first year, we have developed a number of good men for this year ' s team. This is shown by the fact that we easily won the class championship during the session of 1915-16. In track and baseball we made a good showing last season and expect our class to be well represented this year. Not only are we well represented on the athletic field, but we make it our pur- pose to take an active part in all other branches of college activities, including the 1 . M. C. A., literary societies, and W. C. T. U. contests. As yet we have not had the chance to show our talents as orators and debaters, but during our further stay here we expect and feel sure that good men will be developed from our class. In the classroom we have solved every problem that has come before us. even to those in Geometry, Algebra, and Chemistry. Some of the boys have reported that they had to bone on these subjects and that they had to cast aside Registrar Critz ' s advice — Be constitutionally conservative of your physical energy. Our motto has al- ways been: Life is real, life is earnest; We should strive to do our best. And, departing, leave behind us Notebooks that will help the rest. And if every member of the class will do his part toward making this motto a reality, the four years that we spend in college will not have been in vain.

Of course, I could not do this without making enemies, but I will try to present the Freshman Class as it is and you can be the judge. At the beginning of the year we assembled and elected very efficient officers who have done all in their power for the betterment of the class. Of course (from force of habit), we were called the Ignorant Freshmen, but it did not take us long to show that we were not so ignorant and that we could hold our own in the classroom, in the ball- room, and on the athletic field. We are called the Ignorant Fresh- men now, but only by those who are too ignorant to see that we have profited by our opportunities. It took us but a short while to realize that we have a great moun- tain before us; however, we entered with the intention of surmounting all obstacles, so we will strive to leave this mountain behind us when we depart with the Class of ' 20. We are spat upon by the Seniors, we are mocked by the Juniors, we are scorned by the Sophomores, we are called blockheads by our instructors, and in addition we attend to our military lab at the request of our dear friends. Yet I tell you before the setting of many more suns we shall rise as moons above the horizon of fame in glory and splendor. Our gleam shall bind the Seniors, our light shall prostrate the Juniors, it shall enthrall our instructors, and we hope that our dear friends will sleep in the light that the old superstitions may come true.

WHILE the football record this year is probably not so good as th t of last year, it is in many respects equal to it. The loss of five of last year ' s regular back field men crippled the team badly at the beginning of the season and conse- quently it was well on in the year before Coach Hayes goi the new backs working in good form. The line, however, was one of the strongest in the South and its work, coupled with the line plunging of Schwill, and the excellent broken-field running of Bobo. brought the team through a successful year. The other men in the back field also deserve much credit for playing a good consistent game during the entire season. The opening game was played with Mississippi College at Aberdeen and resulted in a defeat of 1 3 to 6. While this was something of a surprise it should really have been expected, for the A. and M. boys did not have the team work so necessary to vic- tory. Although the pill of defeat was a little hard to swallow, it gave everyone a little satisfaction to know that the Mississippi team was coached by an old A. and M. foot- ball man, Dudy Nobles. By the following Saturday, however, the team was in good shape and ready for the game with the University of Chattanooga on the latter ' s grounds. Although the Ten- nessee lads put up a stiff fight throughout the game, they were unable to stop the A. and M. drives and were scored on several times. t hen the whistle blew for the end the Page one fwnJreJ forty - — - ' - |?5§ Reveille- ■- ■ • Aggies had a victory of 33 to to their credit, thus demonstrating their ability to come back after defeat. On October 2 1 st the Transylvania warriors invaded the A. and M. territory with the avowed intention of carrying home the Aggie ' s scalp. In this, however, they had reckoned without their host, as was clearly shown during the first few minutes of play. It was a hard fought game from start to finish, but the pace was a little too stiff for Transy, and she went down to a defeat of 1 3 to 0. Schwill ' s line plunging was a feature of the game although the rest of the team played exceptionally well. On the 28th the team journeyed to Birmingham to meet their ancient rival. Auburn. Every man on the team was determined to do his best, and do it he did. The surprise they handed Auburn was one which the Plainsmen will not soon forget. In the second quarter of the game Schwill booted the oval between the bars for a field goal, thus mak- ing A. and M. the first Mississippi team to score on the Tiger in three years. Shortly after Auburn started a drive from the forty-yard line, and by working three fullbacks to their utmost capacity, managed to carry the pigskin ever. They kicked goal, making the score 7 to 3. where it stayed the remainder of the game, neither side seeming to have the advantage. From the A. and M. standpoint the game was a victory in spite of the way the score stood. In previous years Auburn has piled up large scores, while A. and - Page one hundred fort )-one M. was unable to point. The whole team deserves the utmost credit for playing such a good game against one of the strongest teams in the South. The following Friday was the day of the game with Ole Miss at Tupelo, a day looked forward to from the first of the season because of the intense rivalry between the two institutions. A large part of both student bodies arrived on special trains to support their respective teams and the streets were soon filled with an excited, though good natured, crowd of boys. When the game started about 2:30 P.M., the grandstands were packed with people. From the very first it was evident that A. and M. had the strongest team. The Ole Miss boys were full of fight, but they could not withstand the battering rushes made by the Aggies. The first touchdown came a few minutes after the game started when Schwill received a pass from Bobo by laying out by the sideline. Although the play was one of the oldest in the game it got by the Ole Miss team. Soon after this Bobo crossed again, adding a second touchdown and before the half was over A. and M. had scored a third time. Between halves the cadets, headed by their band and carrying an Ole Miss coffin, took the field and held a big snake dance. They were followed by the University lads who still had plenty of pep in spite of the way the score stood. The third quarter proved to be a hard fight, neither side gaining consistently, but in the last quarter A. and M. started a rally which resulted in two more scores before Puse one hundred orfv-firo Mk Reveille- the end of the game. The final count was 36 to 0, which, though not so large as the score of last year, was amply sufficient to quiet any Old Miss athletic aspirations. The next game of the season was played on the campus against L. S. U. and was witnessed by the entire student body besides many visitors. From the very beginning it was a fight and a hard one. L. S. U. scored first by a drop kick, but Schwill soon evened up with a field goal. A little later an L. S. U. end uncovered and received a pass behind the A. and M. goal. To this they added one more field goal, making the score 1 3 to 3. During the entire game the A. and M. backs seemed able to gain through the Tiger ' s line, but a fumble or other mishap always lost them the ball when they got within striking distance. The game with Kentucky State University was played November 1 8th at Lexing- ton, Ky., and resulted in the last defeat of the season. Coming as it did, at the end of a long, hard trip and closely following the hard game with L. S. U., it found the team in poor condition. The Kentucky team, on the other hand, was in fine shape and played a fast game of open football, which put the heavier A. and M. team at a further dis- advantage. The score was I 3 to 3, apparently a bad combination for A. and M. On the way back to Mississippi the team stopped at Maryville, Tenn., to play Mary- ville College. As it had been only two days since the hard game with Kentucky State Page one hundred forty-lhree r iRivEILLB-- the team was in bad shape with almost no pep. As a result the game was very slow and resulted in a 7 to 7 tie. The game which closed the season was played in Memphis on Turkey Day with the University of Arkansas. A large body of the cadets followed on a special train to cheer the team to victory. After a parade up Main street and a number or rousing cheers the boys broke up into small parties to see the town. When the game started that afternoon a large crowd was on hand to witness it, as the teams were thought to be of about equal strength. In the first half, however, the Aggies demonstrated their superiority by putting two touchdowns across. In the third quarter they continued the drive, netting a total of 2 1 points. About this time the Razorbacks woke up and started a rally. By working several successful forward passes they brought the ball within a few yards of the A. and M. goal line and then bucked it across. The rally. however, came too late and the game ended with the score standing 21 to 7. This game was the last of a hard schedule. Of the nine games played four were lost, one tied, and four won. Taken as a whole, and considering the disadvantages A and M. played under, the season may be said to have been very successful. The team deserves great credit for having made such a good showing with the schedule they had. The total number of points made by A. and M. was 126, as against 60 made by their opponents.

Who won eternal glory, just by putting up a fight. The daily papers feature tales of all those lucky men. Who, in the games of track and field, are privileged to win; But every little writer drops his horn and grabs a club The very minute that his eye by chance beholds a scrub! Brave men upon the battlefield, at risk of limb and life, Have hewn their way to victory, and gloried in the strife; And mighty men of football often win undying fame By simply balling up the other fellow ' s brilliant game; The man who wears a letter on a jersey nice and red Is sure to get full credit when he breaks another ' s head; But if he ' s on the second team he ' s nothing but a dub. His touchdown ' s just a flivver, and he simply draws a nub. It ' s true, he makes a good hard stump for first team men to hit, And that he ' s overflowing with the common stuff called grit. It ' s true that every blessed day you ' ll find him in the game — No matter if he breaks a leg — he ' s nearly always lame; He may have only one arm left, and that one may be sore, But if his fav ' nte head ' s intact he ' s sure to call for more. The yellow streak gave out before they made him — there ' s the rub. Else he d have been a soldier — he d have never been a Scrub! Perhaps in that Valhalla, where the heroes go from earth; Where everyone s rewarded in proportion to his worth; Where coaches never make mistakes, and broken bones don ' t ache, Where good men never are knocked out, and heads refuse to break; Where every man can play the game, and never pull a bone ; Why, there, perhaps, the Scrub at last may come into his own; And then we ' ll see those present give their eyes a hearty rub, So that they won ' t be dazzled by the brilliance of THE SCRL B.

There is, then, hardly any limit to what daughters are. Everything that any man is, daughters can be — and a good deal more so. A Junior speaks of them as humans, a Freshman as my girl, a Sophomore as women, a Senior as widows, while persevering bachelors say the ladies. (Refinement of expression prohibits our mentioning the term employed by husbands.) Daughters are something which one man advises others not to have, when he hasn ' t any himself. A man derives a certain amount of comfort and satisfaction in the thought that he is either luckier or abler than his friend who possesses no daughters; and because he himself is not going to suffer from these defects on the friend ' s part, he advises him briskly to back up, offering him silently the benefit of his superior bottled- in-bond brand of moral courage. Daughters are commodities which men can ' t live ithout: They mafye the theologian pursue elusive truth; They mal(e the centenarian affect the ways of youth. When a man is free from daughters, he reads books on how to get rid of them; when daughters get him he quits reading those books. An understanding of daughters can only be gained through strict training in the rudiments of preparedness. Learning how to daughter daughters is one of the most pop- ular branches of modern education. To control one — even one — a man must have the patience of Job, the understanding of Solomon, the ingenuity of Edison, the disposition of Pertruchio, the wealth of Croesus, and the parts of Napoleon. It may be stated, however, that only a few applicants for diplomas flunk this all-important course in the present-day college curriculums, since the choruses, the dances, the old-fashioned girl back home (according to the type of student), the summer normal, and the cotton factory offer a variety of specimens for anatomical analysis. Finally, daughters are the only difference between what a man thinks he ought to have and what he believes he will get.

But he wasn ' t. In fact he was decidedly perplexed. He indignantly stared at the note once more and for the thousandth time he read it. Dear Freddie, it began, I know you are having a great time in the city all by your lonesome. But in March give me Virginia. Now Freddie, there is just the nicest kind of man here, graduated from some Virginia school of medicine, and he never has been away from home before. He is going to New York this week and I said he could stay in our house because there is no one there but you, and I want you to show him the nicest kind of time, and don ' t let him fall in love. Now mind your sister and do this, and don ' t get mad. Mamma sends her love. — ALICIA. P. S. — His name is Philip Marlowe. The rambling incoherency of the note made him smile, but not for long. If that Sis of mine hasn ' t got a crust on her an inch thick, I ' ll be — he stopped, unable to think of anything monstrous enough that he would be. Through the window he could see the lighted hands on the Metropolitan clock. It was nearly six. And there was that date with Betty. Hurriedly, he tapped the bell, which gave forth an imperious yet delicate tinkle, and in an instant he was attired in his overcoat, and on his way to his apartments. Mr. Frederick Hamilton, I presume, was the breezy greeting which Freddie re- ceived after opening the door. Er — a — a — ye — . How in the d — did you get in here? he finally managed to blurt out. Easy. Your sister was so kind as to present me with a key. After five thousand mistakes, I managed to find the place. Nobody home, so I make myself comfortable, per your sister ' s instructions. Fine girl that. Freddie found himself warming up to his guest, and his easy compliment of his sister clinched it. That ' s all right . . . doctor. He was rewarded with a slight blush from the other. Then they both grinned. Maybe — some day, said Marlowe. Here ' s to your future fame, said Freddie, and they shook hands. And now, my friend, I will have to prepare for a little entrance into society. At the Gaiety you will find an excellent show. I will take you there myself. No, you won ' t. I am going to learn New York on my own hook. Give the young lady my compliments. He stood framed in the doorway — a re ally handsome chap. His hair, Freddie noticed, had a tendency to curl, which tendency was firmly repressed by its owner. Page two hundred eighty-nine Cite- Reveille- .. . i £ . But I say — I won ' t be going for two hours yet. Betty phoned that she was going to motor up the avenue a bit. Well, you will be wanting to doll up a little, so I guess I just as well start now. Feel like I am some adventurer, and with a toss of his hand he was gone. Wherefore, we will leave Mr. Hamilton in his process of dolling up and follow that presumptuous young man who dared believe that he could pilot his way through the streets of New York, unguided. Through the deepening twilight he could see a blaze of light. Ah! that must be Broadway, famed in fiction. We will investigate, and h e whistled to an imaginary dog. As he turned the last corner the spectacle before him held him spellbound. His fascinated eyes winked and blinked at the unending glare. The crowds jostled by him, unheeded. Far down the street, the giant letters of an electric sign, framed in light, spelled Gaiety. Must be the theatre Hamilton told me about. he thought. He stepped from the curb to the street. Had he stepped a moment sooner, there would be no story. But he didn ' t step a moment sooner, and so the hood of a huge limousine neatly tossed him in the air. A grinding of brakes, an angry, fat policeman, a quickly gathering crowd were confusedly apparent to him. The officer was rapidly scribbling names, with what had once been a pencil. An ' do yez want to make any charges? he asked. He gave a belligerent glare at the car. He didn ' t love the rich, Officer O ' Flannigan didn ' t. Phil rose weakly to his feet, assisted by the trembling chauffeur. Why — er — er — a — ye — . He stopped. He had reason to stop. For from within the recess of the car shone a most wondrous pair of luminous eyes, set in a perfect oval face. They were filled with unutterable appeal, as they besought his own. Cad, he muttered. He turned to the officer, I will not prefer any charges. And then he saw that an electric sign was yards away from where he had first noticed it. It began to turn, and soon a perfect ring of them was rushing about his head. In fact, so was everything. All of which comes through thinking that one can walk the streets of New 1 ork. unguided. Freddie whistled as he viewed the prostrate form before him. Why he just left me, an hour ago, he said. The last thing he said was to give his compliments to the young lady. Looks as if you gave him yours instead. It surely does, and then, I phoned for the doctor, the girl said. She went over to the couch upon which lay Mr. Philip Marlowe, lately of Virginia. Poor thing. she murmured, eying favorably the hair with a tendency to curl. It must have appealed to her rather strongly, for she leaned over and stroked it. At this psychological moment the patient opened his eyes. Then they closed. It really couldn ' t be. Two views of those eyes were more than mortal man could ever hope for. You were struck by our car, she was saying, and you fainted, so we carried you home. For a while there was silence. It was really very nice of you not to press any charge against us. His eyes flew open. Ah, that was it. He recalled the whole thing now. The crowds, the dizziness, everything. That was all right, he said. Somewhat inconsistently, his thoughts flew to a Greek statue in his home. Maybe it was because her throat was directly in his view. His glance fell on Freddie. X hy, hello. Page iv o hundred ninety §7J§ Reveille- - - old chap, glad to see you so soon. I — , he stopped as the light of understanding broke upon him. This must be the girl his host had come to see, and here he was lying on a couch in her home. It was delicious. His thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of a door bell. A trim-appearing doctor came in and instantly started to feel of Philip ' s body. Shoulder is dislocated, he said, looking up. You had better not move him for several days. Consternation was written all over the patient ' s face. Somewhere behind him he heard a light giggle. Instantly the look vanished. The girl came over to him. It ' s really too bad, she said, but force of circumstances will compel you to be my guest lor a while. A slight smile played around the corners of her mouth. She was very good looking. I am sorry, she said. Her meaning could have been taken in several ways, and she hastened to make herself clear. I — a — mean, that I ' m sorry about the accident. I ' ll be awfully glad for you to stay here, — you look nice, she declared, impartially. Thank you. Well, you ' re a lucky dog, came from Freddie, who had been standing unnoticed in a corner. Then they all laughed, and the tension was broken. Betty ' s mother came in with a bowl of steaming broth, and discreetly withdrew. Then with a calm and motherly air, which was b eautiful to see, the girl tucked a snowy-white napkin around his neck, sat down on the couch, and began feeding him the broth. She puckered up her lips, until they looked like a most promising rosebud, and tenderly blew on each spoonful, for it was hot. And Philip was content. And after all, there may be some advantage in walking the streets of New York, unguided. Two months later, Mr. Freddie Hamilton was reading with mingled feeling an invitation. In it he was asked to attend the Senior graduation exercises at Wellsly. He noticed that part of the program was to be a huge pageant, in which Miss Betty Walker was to be chief something. Well, are you going? came a voice from the doorway. Am I? You are going, too, aren ' t you, Alicia? The girl came in bearing a similar invitation. She bore a marked resemblance to her brother, with the exception of a thin patrician nose. I certainly am, she replied. I know Betty will look beau- tiful as the Queen of Fairies, she said, guilelessly. Really? He seemed quite indifferent about it. But be it said that this apparent indifference was not shared by all. At least one young man seemed unduly interested. Sitting on a shaded bench, idly patting the head of a beautiful setter, Phil was staring into space. He suddenly jumped up. To-morrow, and we see her, Brownie, old top. Well, if it isn ' t Freddie Hamilton. That person thus addressed flew around to stare into the flushed face of Phil. You here, too? he stammered. With bells on. Page fn o hunched ninely-one r i,VEI , v ' , Betty said that she had reserved beds for me and someone else, at the infirmary. I guess you were the someone else? I guess so. By the way, where is she? Phil asked with a calmness calculated to deceive, but which did nothing of the sort. She is rehearsing for the pageant they are giving this afternoon. Oh! Well, let us look around a bit. Good. They sauntered off arm in arm. That night they almost bumped into each other at the door of the infirmary. What ' s the matter? asked Phil, noticing Freddie ' s wrathful look. Ah, there ' s an old geezer lying in my bed. Had the face to tell me that his daughter had it reserved for him. I showed him my name on the bed, but all he did was to turn over and smile in my face. He savagely thrust his hands in his pockets and glared at the world in general. Wait a minute, maybe we can bunk in mine. But Phil soon came out wearing a most dejected look. There ' s a man in mine, too, he announced. The matron gave me these sheets and pillows, and said that there were some bedsteads in the girls ' gym, but that we would have to use one of their jumping mats for a mattress. What a lovely prospect for a good night ' s sleep! said Freddie. The other laughed outright. The gym was a large one-room affair, with about ten feet partitioned off, and a doorway between. In the narrower portion they discovered the beds, together with a little table near the opening. After much strangling, the dusty mats lay covered with the sheets. They slowly undressed, laid their clothes on the table, gave one look at the innocent-looking cot, and hopped in. Freddie groaned. Philip didn ' t. In Virginia one has boundless opportunities to go camping. In the city of New York one hasn ' t. This thing has no more ' give ' to it than a plank, ' was Freddie ' s comment. A new fear sud- denly seized upon him. Supposing — ? he leaned over and peered into Philip ' s face. That gentleman was fast asleep. Guess I might as well follow suit, he thought. and he did. It was morning. A ray of sunlight streaming in through the open doorway caught a link of his watch chain on the table, and it gleamed like a tiny, fiery furnace. The chill of early morning caused him to snuggle up to his soundly-sleeping companion. Suddenly his eyes popped wide open. A hum of voices was coming from the distant end of the gymnasium. All at once it ceased, and then came a girlish voice startingly clear. Gather ' round me, all ye fairies, and list to the story which I will unfold to thee. Holy St. Peter! It ' s Betty ' s voice. All at once he realized what it was. Drops of perspiration stood out on his brow. To get their outer clothes now was not to be considered. They were right in the doorway. It was an alarming situation. He hastily shook his companion, who began to remonstrate noisily. A hand was instantly clapped over his mouth, and he was fiercely ordered to keep quiet. With bated breath, Freddie explained their predicament. Philip was looking at Freddie ' s face, and the expression upon it was too much. His lips twitched, and the beginning of a huge guffaw was upon them. But it never escaped. He felt the pillow jerk from under his head, and in a second it covered his face with a gasping Freddie on top of it. Lord, if they Page two hunJreJ ninety-ivc had heard that! A long breath came from him, and then and there he vowed that Commencement exercises had seen the last of him. After an interval, he cautiously removed the pillow. Quite all the mirth had escaped from the culprit. Together they both looked at the door. If only some blessed breeze would blow it shut. Were ever two respectable young men in such a deuce of a fix? Suddenly they heard a man ' s voice. Well, how is it going, girls? Oh, just fine ? President Whitman. It was President Whitman, the well-known head of Wellsly. They heard the sound of his footsteps approaching the door. Then they stopped in front of it, and after an intolerable interval, they moved on once more. I see you have some visitors, girls, came from the far end of the hall. Oh, yes, chimed in a number of voices. And the said visitors nearly wilted. It was bad enough to be in their plight, but that the girls were aware of it — surely their cup was running over. They were suddenly greeted with, Why, good morning, boys. Hastily, almost tearfully, they explained their situation. The President ' s eyes were twinkling — And for God ' s sake close that door! pleaded Freddie. He could have sworn that he had heard a familiar giggle perilously near the door. Then through the back opening which the President showed them, they made a hasty exit. Once outside on the good firm turf of the campus, they gave each other a blank look, and then a very expressive one at the gymnasium. Somewhat of a harrowing experience, said Phil. You said it. The day was a beautifully clear one. Freddie should have been happy, but he wasn ' t. A heavy sense of foreboding weighed upon him; but for the life of him he could not explain it. Unconsciously, he admired Phil ' s broad sweep of shoulders and unaffected grace, as he sauntered away. On the campus, Phil had met Alicia Hamilton. She gave a little gasp as she saw him. It was a peculiar gasp — but Phil was from Virginia — and so he talked only of commonplaces. Then he gave a little start, which she was quick to notice. Following the direction his eyes had turned to, she saw Betty Walker, gaily chatting with a crowd of girls. Let ' s go over, he casually suggested. All right, she assented, also casually. Betty made a charming courtesy to him as he caught her eye, and soon introductions were flying thick and fast. This is the one we bumped into last March, she explained. Oh! came in chorus. They openly admired him, and then shot looks of humble respects to Betty. A girl who could man-handle a male being in that way, and then have him give her the most adoring looks, as Phil was at that moment doing, was worthy of their homage. And what do you think of our fairy queen? murmured a nymph in blue. She has enchanted me, he returned. ' You don ' t say! And then very irrelevantly, It ' s really a shame that the hotels in town are so packed. There was a most provoking smile on her red lips. Impudent, one might call it. Phil did not bat an eyelash. It surely is. But then that is a real tribute to your drawing powers, don ' t you think? he asked. It is a fortunate thing that the inner tumults are inaudible. l J age Itoo hundred ninciy-thrce r (J t ■ i V : ' .. That evening he was with Alicia, viewing the pageant from the grandstand. It was truly a magnificent spectacle, well staged and well acted. Dressed in a shapeless, shim- mering gown, her dark hair hanging loosely over her shoulders, she was indeed a delight- ful vision. Phil ' s heart was executing a series of wild leaps, and a furious pounding was in his ears. Alicia was saying, She is splendid, isn ' t she, Phil? She is great, he uttered. Some impulse caused him to turn and look at Alicia herself. Great guns, the girl was good locking herself. Some lucky dog would get her — And then his eyes wandered to the performance once more. Betty ' s classic dancing was a revela- tion, and each step was full of animal grace. She was dancing fast and furious, now and then with a joyful gesture, which directed straight at him, she left the arena, and the performance was over. Phil walked out of the grounds like a man in a dream, and the entertainment that Alicia received from him was negligible. At the door of the hotel they parted. Ive had a most wonderful time, she said, and looked at him expectantly. Glad you did, sure, he replied and strode hastily away. The moon was deepening to a wondrous golden color that night, and one by one her silvered attendants came into view. On the shaded walks beneath, strolled Phil. and by his side, walking very demurely, was Betty. He had found her after an hour ' s frenzied search. They had been walking in silence, and then, 1 ou were won- derful this afternoon, he ventured. She flushed prettily. It ' s nice of you to say so. They had reached a bench under a tree, and by mutual consent they sat down. The moonlight was reflected in her eyes, and they were shining like twin pools. Moonlight is a peculiar thing. He moved a wee bit closer. A stray breeze was rumpling his wavy hair, and overhead the leaves gently sighed. Out of the corner of her eye she peeped up at him, and she saw that he was good to look upon. . . . Freddie was nice, but really, he was such an aimless chap .... she felt his hand grasp her own. and quite unconsciously she let it remain. Betty, he whispered, in a voice that was almost a caress.

It further states that a group of Columbia Seniors canvassed forty of the most prominent students in Barnard College and Columbia. By a vote of thirty-nine to one they declared their scorn on the forty- three unkissed Seniors at Princeton. The student ' s canvass included ath- letes, editors of college publications, and social leaders. Co-ed Reasons: Too good to miss. Such a pleasant sensation. Conveys microbes, and I love the lit- tle devils. A form of worship, and I love to worship. From the Boys: There is no harm done, and it is sweet. A pleasant indoor sport. The co-eds pine without kisses I am the biggest man on the campus, and it hasn ' t hurt me yet. He kissed me — I know ' twas wrong, For he was neither kith nor kin; Need one do penance very long For such a tiny little sin? There ' s mischief in the moon. I know, I ' m positive I saw her wink; When I requested him to go, I meant it too, I almost think. He pressed my hand — that wasn ' t right! Why will men have such wicked ways? It wasn ' t for a minute quite, But in it there were days and days. We like it. It ' s something more than merely bad — We like it. Those Princeton Seniors have no sense, For college youths they are most dense; The fault is due to indolence. We like it! But, after all, I ' m not to blame. He took the kiss!

They seem to have all disappeared, to-night In the dust of a death-pale moon! A moon like the one that is sailing now, But free from its pale, white hue. Looked down on her window of latticed bars Where her eyes watched, wet with dew. But now, O God! They are closed in death — She is shrouded, stiff and cold. Can you wonder now that I hate this night? Can you wonder my heart is old? Her lips that I touched so tremblingly warm, Are frozen, have lost their rose! Her white wan face like a flower pressed Is still by the Black Death ' s throes. By the moon-splashed palace wall one night. With a wonderful magic around, She laugingly whispered, Some day I shall die. With kisses I hushed the sound. Then we laughed, we two, with carefree hearts As light as the street bird ' s song. But we did not know how near she was right. Our kisses, how far they were wrong! The guards have kept me away from her, And I cannot see her face! The gold of her kindred has barred my way. Their gold and velvet and lace.

A.D., 1916. THE GRAND JURORS of the Stale of Mississippi, taken from the body of good and lawful men of Oktibbeha Count]), elected, empaneled, sworn and charged to inquire in and for said County, at the Term aforesaid of the Court aforesaid, in i ' :e name and by the authority of the Stale of Missis- sippi, upon their oath present that one R. C. Pittman, white, ordinarily going under the cognomen Shorty, and one G. W. Howard, white, known to his lady acquaintance as Blondy , late of the County aforesaid, on the 18th day of November, A. D., 1916, at the County aforesaid, between the hours of six and eight P. M., wilfully, maliciously, erroneously, unjustifiably, premedi- tatedly, and with malice aforethought, steal, take, remove, secrete, murder, nudify, cook, and devour one blue Hong Kong gander, valued at $35.00, from the premises of one E. P. Clayton, B.S., Professoi of Poultry Husbandry, at the Mechanical Agricultural College, Agricultural College, Mississippi. contrary to the form of Statute in such case made and provided against the peace and dignity of the State of Mississippi. A. D. SUTTLE, District Attorney. After much delay and many disqualifications, a jury was chosen and the trial pro- ceeded. Sister Coleman, who loomed up as an important witness for the State, was disqualified for being prejudiced against the defendants. Judge Buzz Walker. Jr., pre- sided over the court. Hon. Abe Suttle, Prosecuting Attorney, was assisted by Hon. H. L. Simmons. The defense was represented by Judge L. B. Reagan and Hon. Bob Upshaw. The defense presented as their chief witness Bad Eye Reeves, proprietor of a local cafe, but his story varied on cross-examination. Among the important wit- nesses for the defense were Dr. Bacillus Briscoe, Bud May, and Bull Travis. Mr. Simmons for the State, realizing their weakness in not having sufficient evidence, became dramatic in his appeal for conviction, picturing in a tearful way the demise of the gander, and the mental anguish his owner, E. P. Clayton, B.S., was left in. At several times Mr. Simmons and Judge Reagan for the defense came near clashing. Hon. Abe Suttle, Prosecuting Attorney, tried to prove by psychological reasoning that the defendants were guilty, and laid stress on the shifty manner of Blondy Howard, and the stare that was characteristic of Shorty Pittman. After a long-drawn-out trial, the jury was charged by Judge Walker and retired for decision. Forty-four hours were required before an agreement could be reached. The packed court room was breathless when Col. A. P. Lusk, of Mess Hall fame, foreman of the jury, announced that We, the jury, find the defendants not guilty. The repre- sentatives for the State could not conceal their disappointment at the outcome, while the defense rejoiced greatly.

Heads come on bodies, barrels, and beds. There are heads of water, institutions, organizations, and faculties. Some heads are figureheads, some are pin heads; and some are heads. Also, we have that type of head known as the sore head. There is something strange in connection with the interior of heads. We know that water seeks its own level and will not remain on an inclined surface unless confined by other barriers, and we know that water will stand on a level surface. But unless a head is a level head, we say it has water on the brain. Why? Heads are made of various matter, but a common head is the bonehead. IF H trlRL WF1LKS Piq-eON-ToeD.
