Only general facts can be given. Qwing to the nature of things, definite dates cannot be given in many instances, since they have to be determined by circumstances. For instance, the dates of births of members cannot be had. All we can say is that our members were born between I4Q2 and 1908. We infer this from the fact that they are all native white Americans and have had four years of college work. But aside from vagaries and uncertainties there is much that can be said of the class. The most conspicuous thing is that it is the best class that has ever gone out from this or any other college. In the class there are fifteen boys and girls Ccount- ing men and old maidsj, and every girl has twice as many brothers as all the boys have sisters. There are two sisters-in-law of every member of the class except two, and every member has one niece and one nephew except one. ln the class there are two husbands, one father and thirteen sweethearts. V The class is well prepared to take care of itself. If it has an urgent mission, it can command a Leeper3 if it needs light, it has two torches CGarrard and Van Bus- kirkl and three sons CRolofson, Harrison and Hutchinsonl3 if it has burdens to bear, Campbell is ever ready to offer his serviceg if swolen streams are approached, Bridges can be usedg if it is uncertain about the directions, it can be assured that the moss always grows on the north side of the Ross3 if religious services are desired, the boys can take the Van, the girls a Bus and all can go to the Kirk, if the pole is not long enough to reach the persimmon, the class can have McClym' for it3 if he does not succeed, it can have McGin' CMcGinnisj after it3 if it desires to be noticed, it can blow its own Horneg ifgit gets hungry, it has its own CGrubfel3 if it gets tarnished, it can Gilfdjmore and stay brightg and if you bother it, it will get Hufffyl. This class is composed of aspirants to several of the most noble callings known to man. Of those who expect to wear ministerial robes there are the Revs. Thomas Hendricks Gilmore, D. D. ffIQ47, 3 Aubrey C. Ross, D. D. CIQ6Ib 3 Charles Byrd Leeper, Ph. D. C2000D 3 William Riley Van Buskirk, D. D. fIQ73T 3 Ira H. Clymonds, D. D. fIQ68j 3 Roy Carl Hutchinson, D. D. f2II33 3 and Elder Leonard Harrison, Ph. D. QIQQIB. All of the ladies are expecting to teach and are looking for Bachelors who are in some degree Nlasters of CHeD Arts. If any one knows of any person or persons with these qualifications he will greatly oblige any of the follow- ing ladies by notifying her of his or their whereabouts: Misses Grace Rolofson, Mittie Huff, Beulah Garrard, Mazee Bridges, and Alberta McGinnis. fAll com- munication should be addressed to Marshall, care of The Sabidurial Dr. Wallace lWcBridge Grube, M. D., F. Z. S., fIQ87l expects to minister to the physical man and keep him in running order and paying condition. Hon. Richard Carter Horne, LL. D., fIQ7SD expects to plead for justice and a speedy payment of fees. Mr. Oren Ross Campbell is willing to till the soil and feed us all at a reasonable price. Chronos only can proceed further with this history, so we leave it with him. R. C. HUTcH1NsoN. 1 14 JILI-IE? SHBIDVRIH 1912 MAZEE BRIDGES Houxonian A. B. Marshall, Mo.

Carl Duncan, with taste more for business than books, Is our President loyal and true. He is zealous in things like year-books and plays, And will boost with whatever we do. Theron Holmes plays baseball and debates with a vim, And is Dr. lVIcGinnis's joy. lVIary Dean is a charming and studious girl, Whose soft voice would never annoy. Speed Leonard is strong along musical lines- Plays piano and violin great! Cv. Fitzgerald will set forth his views by the hour On the vague intermediate state. lVIildred Taylor gets grades ofthe very best kind, But for Chapel she never will linger. In Katherine Sue Penick we probably see A future grand opera singer. ! They say Florence Patterson talks quite a lot That saying on truth can't be founded. Paul VanDyke, our beauty, is sinfully fond Of salad of chicken compounded. Charlotte Bohn on her music spends most of And expects a diploma some day. Minnie Claggett, a fair maiden gentle, is he Of the college Y. W. C.

And here's' to the boys and girls that make up The very best class in the college! 26 VC JIVI-IE SQBIDVRM 1912 MINNIE CLAGGETT Bairdean A.

I believe in this institution, her laws and regulations, the communion of students, the cutting of classes, the terrors of examinations, and the survival of the fittest. Amen. V The guiding star of each of these people steadily guided them onward till on September 6, 1911, it rested over the gateway of lvlissouri Valley campus. Some of us, being graduates of M. V. A., at once felt at home, but the rest, having only recently experienced the glories of Seniorhood in other institutions, felt our dignity somewhat humiliated at being dubbed Freshies by second and third year ACS, Then came the great decision of our lives. What society should we join? Having satisfactorily settled this momentous question we proceeded to enjoy school life, not forgetting to dutifully pay our respects to our elders by entertaining the Juniors. Thus we lived happily till that black robed figure, whose shadow we had often seen before, carrying a text book in one hand and a report card in the other, Examination, as he is generally known, stalked through our peaceful midst. But fortunately our constitutions were strong and we have all survived. Nightly we arm ourselves for battle, daily we go forth to the fray. Every morn- ing at eleven o'clock some of us experience the thrill of struggle. Half a line, half a line, half a line onward, Into the jaws of Death rides the Latin Class. Verbs to right of us, nouns to left of us, Volley and thunder. Every night the rest of us read our hundred or two pages of history. Half a page, half a page, half a page onward, ' Into the valley of Sleep rides the History Class. Great men to right of them, battles to left of them, Volley and thunder. We have already progressed far on the road of knowledge. In Campustry, that most important branch taught in a co-educational school, we are already adepts. But we are as yet merely an infant class. We have a bright future before us, and we shall make our mark in the world. You shall hear from us again. G. W. 32 JILI-IE SHBIDVRISH 1912 JAM ES BELLWOOD, Marshall, Mo.

The one word, 'Parnassusf in glowing letters, was swinging over-head, and wondering as to the meaning thereof, I per- sisted in the ascent until the summit was reached. Here I met a diminutive figure who, noticing my unacquaintance with the surroundings, graciously volunteered his services as guide. To my inquiries he replied that this was the mount sacred to the lVIuses and that he would be glad to escort me to their most favorite spot, a little nook in the North-eastern portion of the mount, where for twenty-two years they have been meeting with, and inspiring to higher achievements, those who are engaged in such exercises as delight the Muse-ical heartf' Accordingly, we traversed what seemed a long, walled, cause-way and, as we neared the farther end, a door to the left was opened, from which poured forth a light so dazzling that it for the time blinded me. But my faithful guide led me to a com- fortable seat and began at once to explain the unusual surroundings. 'We can talk to visitors, he explained, 'Otherwise I should be fined if I spoke to you.' 'Do you see,' said my guide, 'the musical instruments along the west side of the room? There is a piano, a trombone, a guitar, a cornet, and thousands of sheets of music. That goddess-like figure bending over the piano is Euterpe, the Muse of hlusic. Do you see the illustrious people grouped about her? The maiden with rosy cheeks who is singing 'I AM LONGING FOR YOU' is Mary Blayney, and she is expressing her heart-felt sentiments in the song. The maiden who is drawing those heavenly strains from the piano is Katherine Sue Penick, the pride of Euterpe's heart, especially when she lifts her sweet voice to sing. The three maidens standing close to Euterpe's side are Fern Lewis, Elizabeth Crawford, and Anna Lewis. They are earnest pupils of the Muse and she expects great things from them. That little Ger- man girl is Fraulein Klinger, our own little Irma. Do you hear the sweet, clear, tones of her voice as she sings 'Hans und Liesel ?' Close to Euterpe stands Erato, lVIuse of Love and lVIatrimonial songs. Venus and Cupid are at her side and the latter feels that he has done his work well. Heart trouble seems to be common in this group. No sooner does Ira lVIcClymonds get his heart in every-day living order than, at sight of the first pretty girl, he is down again with an acute attack. Maurine Gorrellls case, I fear, is chronic. Aubrey Ross, that cold, distant, urtapproachable fellow, twice president, is well informed, however. To each Leap-year proposal he replies, 'I had heard CHurdj before you spokef Virgie, the Carpenter, is daily building castles, which are finished, not in hardwood, but with Nor-wood. Leonard Patton is perhaps not in serious condition, yet we know that he has found it necessary to take several trips to Georgia during the past cold winter. Wyflie LaRue finds it refreshing to visit the Salt springs near Shackleford frequently at week-ends. Thomas Gilmore is only waiting for a diploma in love songs, that he may be graduated into the songs of matrimonial bliss. Katherine LaRue, our litle girl, is claimed by all the lVIu'es, but she is too young for it to be decided to which she belongs. However, it is the dream of Erato that she shall be a smasher of heartsf, lVIelpomene, the lVIuse of tragedy, has quite a large troupe. Poor Sloan Whit- settls broken heart settled in his foot and he had to use a cane for several weeks. 54 ' JIKI-IE SHBIDVRIH 1912 Esther Geisendorfer, our other fraulein, is destined to be mistress of Tragedy, for, woe be the luckless victims who may come under the spell of her eyes. From fair facts fFairfaxj the Pearsonians have one Grace that shines in perfect rays in tragical performance. lyliss Grace Rolofson's latest hit was made at Christmas time in a dar- ing but ineffectual attempt to derail a crowded electric car in Kansas City. Norwood, a reed shaken by every wind, has been saved from a tragical end only by calling fre- quently upon a Carpenterf' Near to lklelpomene stands her sister, Thalia, llfluse of Comedy. That tall, dark man nearest her is Robert Rolofson, her most advanced pupil. Frances Yeagle is a wit of rare merit, true to the rythm of his last name. Luetta Gorrell, known to the stage as Honey, bids well to be Thalials favorite child, while Wallace Willianis is the droll one. VVilliam Dixson already shows talent for succeeding Tommy Gilmore in the famous role of the 'Biggest Fool in Schoolf Vera Cubbage delights thousands with her pianologues, impersonations, and general good humor. Price and Henderson, the only real Frank boys in school, are certainly an honor to their Societyf' I Now look over to Orators' Corner, where presides Polyminia, Muse of Ora- tory There you see Hubert lXrflcDaniel, the undefeated, and Theron Holmes, the spirited 'Son of Thunder,' and upholder of the rights of-the girls. Oh, See Griffith is an orator, especially eloquenton Hot Air, while Everett Hendricks, in his oratorical flights, frequently soars to the heights of the Ozarks. Herr George Ohlendorf has won a place for himself and his patron, Bacchus, by his expository remarks on the art of cider making. Polyminia expects to make a great elocutionist of Lillian Buck, also at future orator of Edgar Carroll, and a stump speaker of John Sneedf' The next group is Clio's, llluse of History and writing in general. Towering' far above her fellows stands Georgia Williains, whose vivid imagination and practical common sense combine in working out most delightful themes. Joe Pyle is a whole heap of interesting things. lVlyrl Gorrell, especially when May approaches, waxes eloquent in her descriptions of battles lost and won. Carrie Lou Buck is a genuine astonisher when it comes to getting up one for society, and lllartha Mounts CMOunceD aloft to heights of description in pen portraits of College lifefl Right at Clio's side stands Caliope, Muse of Poetry, who is very busy training her ready pupil, Burney Rice, in her wonderful art. Now take a long look at the last group, that of Urania, llfluse of Astronomy. Let most anyone ask Annie Cowan to take a moonlight stroll and see what she says--V provided he is good-looking. Sidney Yeagle wants a pretty night for his astronomical pursuits while he hunts 'possums. Virginia Pearson is the star of this group, pre- sumably on account of the much time spent beneath the stars, while Bessie Williarns is never happier than when she has a companion gazer. Clarence LaRue studies the mysteries of the visible heavens, and on long drives, recites their glories to-the buggy. Edward Williains has signed up for a full course and will doubtless be graduated with honor. But as one gazes among the stars he is almost certain to see a familiar face, for is not Eulalia Thorpe, our angel, likely to be soaring there ? Notice the purple and white pennants and the motto: 'Usus Est lllagister Optimus' You see for yourself that the Society is thriving. ln fact she has a very strong constitution. Now everyone is gathering around the piano. Listen to the song pouring forth from forty-eight hearts: 'Pearsonians, Pearsonians, We are the only, only ones.' Etc. And now they are singing the song of the land of knowledge: llliz-oo-rah Val-ley College, Oh, we,ll sing a song for her.' Etc. And as l descended from lVIt. Parnassus with her songs ringing in my ears, l thought of the great people who are coming forth each year from this training school of the llfluses, men and women equipped for bringing good to all mankind. 55 T 1 1 11 11 11 11 1 11 11 1. 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 12 I 11 11 1 1 11 1 1 113 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 , 1 1 1 1 11 1 WW 111 1ll1 11 1 , 1 1 1 ' 1 W 1 1 , 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 r 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 f 1. 9,1 If 1 1 1i li 1. 1 Z 1 1 1 1 1 , 1 1 W 1 1 1 A 1 1 1 X 1 1 i 1 E 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1' 11 111 1 1 1 E 111 11 1?

As we, in the midst of our vicennial year, review the work of the past, it is fitting that we record that which shall be treasured in years to come as a Chronicle of the early days. . ' ' We are justly proud of our past twenty years. lVIr. W. T. Baird of Kirksville, in whose honor the society was named, has ever been to us a munificent giver and a sympathetic friend. Harmony and good fellowship have held sway within our walls and in our annals can be found no trace of strife. From north to south and from east to west the Bairdeans of earlier days are scattered abroad. In every profession and occupation they are truly making good. They speak for themselves, and most eloquently do they speak. We cannot say too much in appreciation of the worthy example which they have set for us. The years have brought us many victories, yet they have also brought us defeats which have served as stepping stones to higher things. As for the present, we are still keeping before us the higher standard set by our predecessors. Loyalty to the Orange and White is our watch-word, and as of old, we chant Dii laboribus omnia venduntf' What the Bairdeans of the present can accomplish and achieve the next few years will show, therefore we will refrain from boasting and will proceed to Show you. For the future, we have fond hopes and great aspirations. Very great things lie before us to be realized, not in some remote, shadowy future, but in a near future. YVhy more words? Happy is the nation whose annals are brief.

We are glad to note that its members, by studying local problems and by corresponding with state and national Y. lVl. C. A. leaders, are keeping abreast with the times. The aim of the Association has always been that of developing and maintaining a higher christian standard among the young men. As time passes it realizes more and more that service, on the part of the young men, is the most vaulable stepping-stone toward the attainment of its objective. It may not seem monotonous to review briefly the type of service peculiar to this special organization, stressing particularly the additional features which have charac- terized the school year of 'II-,12. The watch-word has been Extension, With this idea in mind the various com- mittees have gone about their work. The Religious llrleetings Committee, besides providing for the usual morning prayer meetings, has broadened its field of usefulness to the students by providing for the Tuesday Night llfleetingsfl At these services, which have been held weekly, messages from men who are really doing things in the world have been given. This Committee was instrumental, also, in securing Rev. Beveridge Lee, of Philadelphia, who held a series .of meetings here in February which shall long be remembered by the students as being helpful and uplifting. The course of study being used by the Y. M. C. A. Bible Study Classes is the Will of Godf, The classes this year are being conducted in connection with church work, thereby making a move in the direction of further co-operation of the Associa- tion and the Church. In the lylissionary Department three study classes have been carried on. The additional work of this Department is the starting of a lVIissionary Library. The Sick and Relief Committee has not confined its work to the students alone. lts working with the Good Fellow organization of the City has extended its service beyond college boundaries. A Y. lVI. C. A. man is a Good Fellowf' anyway. The Membership, Lecture Course, Finance, Auditing and Social Committees have served their usual purposes. It has been hinted that another rousing good social is in store for the boys, making three for the year. To extend the service to still other fields which seemed to invite the young men, two additional committees were formed this year. One, the Book Exchange Com- mittee, has aided both students and Faculty to a great extent in the exchange of text- books. The efficiency of the work done by this Committee has gained the confidence and patronage of all in school. ii The other, the Extension Committee, found that its greatest opening for useful- ness called for a Gospel Team. The work of this team is discussed on another page. This Committee has also found work to do in the vicinity of the College. The Sun- day afternoon music and talks given at the County Poor Farm by the boys, serve as a fitting example of its practical service. After all, we must realize that only a start has been made. The field of useful- ness is world wide. To the boys of the Y. lll. C. A., which means practically all of the boys in school, we would say, find each man his place and make next year notable for the accomplishment of greater things. There is a work for every man, For nought so vile that on earth doth live, but to the earth some special good doth give. A. C. R. 66 .H-.a.,.n,, ,, 4 fm ..1- -.. A -vp, - ...Q .Ei'5... YVALL TOPE JOHNSTON PATTON MCCLYMONDS THE GOSPEL TEAM The Gospel Team proposition in Missouri is no longer a theory Waiting to be tried out in practice, but its practicability has been demonstrated beyond a doubt in the efforts put forth by the student organizations of the Y. NI. C. A. throughout the state, and by the results visible and otherwise, which follow their efforts. The team sent out by our own Association located in Atlanta, Mo., for a six day campaign. Each day was spent in contact with the citizens of that place, calling upon men in their places of business and in their homes in brightening the lives of shut-ins with a song and a word of encouragement, and at all times trying to live up to the text: Only let your manner of life be Worthy of the gospel of Christ. ,Phil. 1227. The evening meetings consisted of a combination of the gospel of music, and of the spoken word, backed up by and based upon the Word of Life. The quartette ap- peared several times in each program. Johnston sang beautifully and effectively in his solos, and his leading of the song services was done in a masterly Way. An orchestra assisted materially in the congregational singing, besides furnishing a special opening number each evening. The young men of the community rendered efficient services in both orchestra and male choir. Each member of the team appeared at least once as a speaker at the evening ser- vices, and the talks given were certainly to the point and well delivered. One cannot help but see the influence of college life and association experience in the presentation of mssages by boys who are active in the good things of life. The visible results of the series of meetings are, first, one definite decision for Jesus Christ by a young man nineteen years old, and in the second place, the taking of forward steps by perhaps one hundred and fifty of the people, both by Christians and by those who have not made a profession. These results, though far short of what was hoped and prayed for, are sufficient to make the members of the team justly satisfied that their vacation was Well spent. VVe commend the Gospel Team Work, and recommend taht it be made a perma- nent part of the policy of the college Y. lld. C. A.s in the state of llflissouri. 68 TI-IEYW CA Early 1n the hxstory of lVI V C the Y W C A was orgamzed and from that trme to the present, rt has been a potent factor IH the l1ves of the glrls of the College When a daughter leaves home and parent, for the first tlme to go to school, she finds rn the ASSOCIHYIOD a sympathy counsel and mtercourse, a c1rcle of mterested com panlons, who w1ll throw around her an lnfluence whlch tends to develop womanhood The Chrlstlan Assoclatlons stand as the exponents of the fCl1glOUS l1fe of the stu dent They are no longer rdeal prlnclples, but have become movmg factors m College rellglous development The Y W C A 1n M V C at present rncludes thrrty elght g1rls, and carrles on an actlve Chrlstlan work throughout the year We prlde ourselves on the fact that ours IS the only Y W C A rn the state havmg dally meetmgs From seven forty to elght each mormng, devotlonal exerc1ses are held, and to the Assocxatlon glrls, a day would seem lncomplete wlthout these few moments commumon wlth God I helps us to start each day arlght Two of our former Presldents are laborxng for the advancement of God lxlngdom IH the Forelgn F1eld, and our Presldent and Vrce Presldent of th1s year, are members of the Volunteer Band, havmg purposed to g1ve thelr l1ves to forelgn work when through College Under the ausplces of the lVl1ss1onary Commxttee, a MISSION Study Class has been orgamzed Thxs Class IS composed of eleven grrls and meets for an hour each week at the home of Mrs V V Huff Mrs Huff IS our Faculty member, and the Assocla t1on owes much to her 1nterest and able asslstance Every year we have sent one or more delegates to the State Conventlon Last year lldrs Huff and lVIarguer1te Downs represented us at COlUmbl3 Thls year lW1nn1e Claggett and Grace Rolofson our Presrdent and V1ce Presldent, represented us at MEXICO Our delegates have always brought back pleaslng reports of the msplra t1on and Joy of these meetmgs, they have especxally been rmpressed wxth the person allty of the women who were there, and have been helped and broadened by contact w1th so many Chrlstran grrls Our Assoclatlon has extended 1ts mfluence over nearly every glrl ln school The Cabmet has planned and worked to falthfully carry out their motto To make Chrlst real to every g1rl IH school Last February a contest was carrled on whlch greatly mcreased the attendance at the mormng meetlngs We are few IH numbers, but our work has undoubtedly had nts mfluence, and many a grrl has been developed Into a purer and sweeter womanhood because of the Y VV C A For every Assoclatlon glrl, some of her sweetest memorles 1n years to come, wlll cllng around the Assocra t1 Jn Qome of the truest frlendshlps ever formed have been among gurls who came verv close together 1n thelr AbSOCl3tlOH work Perhaps some of us will never know t1ll our school days are over what a powerful IDHUCHCC the Y W C A has exerted over our l1ves 'I hat IHHUCYICC has glven us strength to meet the burdens of l1fe vuth better courage, and l am sure there are none of us who w1ll not be better for our dallv twenty mlnutes commumon wlth God m the Assoclatlon Hall of lXI V C, MARGUERITE DowNs g O O I . . ., . . . . .

Comes a bustle, a rustle and clanging of doors, A dash and a scramble, a rush and a rumble, And echo of feet That swing to a gallop with clanking and clinking. Then swishing and twishing to pulsing and beating, The horses, like demons, Their foaming flanks steaming, Their eyes and teeth gleaming, Run mad to the fire. But the master, the driver, that nothing e'er frightens, In the tumbling and plunging his massive jaw tightens, Sits calm as Apollo and heeds not the bounding, The lurch, the careering, the catch at the curbing, The staggering buildings or yells of the people, But smiling back mixtures of marble and iron, He rules the mad monsters of hell. And the bell With its clanging, Its iron togue twanging, Awakens the city With terror and pity To rush to the fire. While over and over the tale is repeated, By voices that falter when reason half-seated, Is lost in the rush to the fire. Around the great building by hundreds and thousands, And pushing, and packed by the weight of their crowding, They stand at the fire. - The roar of the flames and therush of the waters, The' cring,ing and twing'ing of battle and anger, The gain of the flame, the command of the captain, A groan from the building, a shudder, a totter,- Then a gasp and a cry at the fire. With pealing of thunder And parting asunder, The sky-scraper tumbles On pavement and mob. Wild cries of the frightened and groans of the dying, The lowering spray,-and the cinders are flying,- The gutters run red With the gore of the dead, All mingled with tissues and bones of the dead,- Then the silence of horror and pain. Like a dirge's refrain With its slow, mournful sobbing Comes the roll and the toll of a bell. W. R. VAN BUSKIRK, ,I2 72 JILI-IE SHBIDVRTH' 1912 WHEN ROSES ARE IN BLOGMU PRIZE STORY BY GEORGIA WILLIAMS, ,I5. HE old man was sitting on the vine covered porch, watching the sunset. The door opened softly, quick, light steps approached, and a slender, white clad figure slipped down on the arm of his chair. I knew I would find you here, granddaddy, watching that beautiful sun- set and dreaming, dreaming just as though you were twenty-two instead of seventy- seven. Tell me, sir, what were you thinking of ? The old man took the girl's soft hand in his wrinkled one and stroked it gently. Yes, yes, child, the dreams of seventy-seven are not so very different from those of twenty-two, only those of the one are of the past, while those of the other are of the future. This sunset, with the fragrance of roses from the garden carries me back over half a century to another summer evening, so much like this that I feel myself growing young again. ' Tell me about it granddaddy, there's an interesting story somewhere, I know, and the girl took a rose-bud from her hair and fastened it in his button-hole. Her grandfather looked at it lovingly. It shall be a story of roses, then. Well, it was just fifty-five years ago this month, before the war, you see. There was a large plantation, called 'The Pines,' with a stately white house set well up in the pine grove, with a rose garden at one side, and farther back, among some apple trees, the negro cabins were scattered. The adjoining plantation, Locust Grove, belonged to quite a young man, who had recently come into possession of the estate by the death of his uncle. We will call this man the 'Inexperienced Man,' for, while he had just finished college in the east, he was about as inexperienced and helpless when it came to govern- ing a large plantation and a lot of negroes as a man could well bei. On the first day in his new home .old Uncle Nat, the most trustworthy negro on the place, hesitatingly, approached him. 'Has de young massa any 'jections ef ol' Nat goes ober to De Pines dis morn- in'?' he inquired, as he nervously twirled his shabby old cap in his hands. The 'Inexperienced Man' looked at him couriously. 'Why' do you wish to go, Uncle Nat ?' 'Why yoh see, massa, as how my ol' woman, Nancy, 'blongs to Miss Rose, ober at De Pines. We's be'n married nigh onto twenty yeahs, I reckon, an', ol' massa, he neber 'jected toh my goin' ober there ebery mornin' an' even, to cut Nancyls kindling foh huh, I neber stays long, an' I works all de harder toh make up foh it. Yoh ain't mindin', be you, massa?' and the anxiety on the old darkyls face was pitiful to behold. 'Certainly not, Uncle Nat, I wouldn't think of objecting, not for an instant,' the young master assured him hastily. 'Poor fellow,' he added to himself, as the darky disappeared, 'twenty years, and he only asks that he be allowed to chop her stove wood.' The conversation between Uncle Nat and Aunt Nancy must have been very satisfactory, for the old darky came home smiling all over his good humored black face, and kept chuckling to himself 'ef they'd only do it, ef they'd only do it.' That night he again approached his new master. 'Will young massa 'low ol' Nat to tell him 'bout that south wood lot 'blong- ing to De Pines? 'Cause ef he will, he oughta go ober see 'bout it tomorrah. Nancy 73 JIKPIEJ SHBIDVRIH 1912 says as how lVIiss Rose, she done had a buyer today, and he looked sorta favorable like, an' ef young massa wants it, he'd bettah see ,bout it right awa'. Ol' massa, he was a gwine toh buy it, ef he'd lived, he tol' me so jus' afore he died. Could young massa go look at it tomorrah?' l'The 'Inexperienced lVIan, looked at the negro an instant suspiciously. What was there about the good, honest darky that made him feel he was being led purposely? VVas there a plot of some kind lurking in the old man's brain? But no, impossible. Uncle Nat had been his uncle's trusted right hand. Now, he himself could find no better advised than the old negro, he had better follow his advice about the wood lot, as in all other matters, till he got his bearings, at least. 'By the way, Uncle Nat,' as a new thought struck him, 'what kind of people are these neighbors of ours P' The negro rolled his eyes till only the whites showed. 'Der's only Miss Rose, massa, an' she am de good angel ob dis here community, she am foh a fact, sah. When- eber anybody's sick, Miss Rose, she takes 'em flowers, genully some po' huh roses. Eberybody luvs Miss Rose, sah., 'Rosef the 'Inexperienced Man, mussed over the name. The lady was probably the usual tall, thin, spectacled spinster, with hair drawn tightly back from her fore- head, only her name ought to have been lVIartha, or Jane,, 'Rose,' belonged to quite a different sort of person, and then her carrying flowers to sick people-but tomorrow he would see her. 'De missus am in de rose garden, sah,' Aunt Nancy told him the next day, as she led the way to the garden. 'fAnd there, looking very much like a sweet wild rose herself, the sunlight fall- ing on her golden hair, her arms full of roses gathered to be taken into the house, stood, not the spectacled spinster, but the 'Lady of the Roses,' he named her so on the spot. So surprised and startled was this 'Inexperienced Man,' that for a time he could do nothing but take off his hat and bow politely. But at last he recovered his voice and found himself talking in a very business like way o fthe good and bad qualities of the south wood lot. He had decided to himself, at first sight of her, to buy it, but he was careful to leave the arrangements incomplete, that he might have an excuse for calling the next day. That night, as he served his master at the table, Uncle Nat longed to bring up the subject nearest to his heart, but was at a loss how to do it naturally. 'Oli massa, he thought as how the south wood lot 'ud be a big bargain', he ventured. 'llliss Rose, she's a good one toh carry on bueesness wif.' The 'Inexperienced Man' coughed. 'Ahem, I thought as much. By the way, beaux are not lacking at The Pines, are they ?' The darky rolled his eyes. 'Laws-a-massy no sah, but it's mostly jus' one now, I reckons. Mistah lVIervin, he's fohm de east somewhere, he's be'n a sparking huh foh nigh on six months now, I reckon. He 'pears toh think a heap o' huh, an' I shouldnlt be 'sprised ef she didn't let huhself get 'gaged toh him. But ef anybody was t'oh step right in, quick like, I 'specs they'd stan' a right good show.' 'That'll do Uncle Nat, quite enough coffee, thank you,' and the 'Inexperienced lVIan' abruptly pushed back his chair. Two weeks sped quickly by. The buying of the south wood lot, breaks in the division fence, and other matters of interest to the two plantations forced the 'Inex- perienced Man' to be a frequent visitor at The Pines. Uncle Nat and Aunt Nancy looked at their master and mistress, and then at one another, with understanding nods of appreciation. But trouble was near at hand. 1 74 JILI-IE' SHBIDVRIH 1912 The Inexperrenced lylan recerved and promptly accepted an rnvrtatron to a weeks flshrng trrp adyurrng Uncle Nat to take entrre control of the plantatron and the other negros durrng hrs absence That nrght when Uncle Nat returned from hrs nrghtlv vrsrt to The Prne he sat down rn the doorway of hrs cabrn and burred hrs face rn hrs hands The chrldren who usually found rn hrm a ready play fellow awed by hrs srlence hunned hrm whrle hrs banyo stood srlent and untouched rn one corner of the cabrn Oh Lord he groaned de good Lord hab mercy on drs po ol wuthless nrgger us now when we thought eberythrng s acomrn out rrght after twenty yeah s o wart rn oh Lord how krn ol Nat stan rt ol Nancvs all he s got an toh hab huh taken awa for Uncle Nat had been met at The Prne by a sorrowful Aunt Nancy They had sat down srde bv srde rn the doorway of her cabrn and rn broken brts she had told hrm her story She had recerved the news that mornrng when she had taken breakfast to her young mrstress lVIrss Rose had confided to her that the Hnancral resources of The Prnes were unnrng low that she had found herself too young and rnexperrenced to manage so large an estate and now consrdered herself foolrsh for ever havrng at tempted rt She had resolved to leave and place the plantatron rn better hands before rt was too late But Aunt Nancy must go wrth her she had been her nurse and her mothers before her and rt had been her mother s dyrng request that Aunt Nancy be kept rn the famrly Then Mrss Rose had hrnted at omethrng else Mr Mervrn was to call rn three davs and she would grve hun hrs answer She confessed she drd not feel entrrely satrsfled but rt was the best thrng to do there wa no other way S TVIISS Rose and Aunt Nancy were to leave The Prnes Aunt Nancy added a he told her story to Uncle Nat that her mrstress seemed very unhappv Er only young mas a wah here Uncle Nat had groaned eberythrng ud rl be all rrght Ff only young ma sa wah here kept repeatrng rtself rn the old negro s brarn as stunned and numbed by the rmpendrng sorrovv he mechanrcally drrected the work rn the hay field the next day The wrde golden field had been carefully mowed and the hay was berng raked up rnto hocks Uncle Nat s ey es wandered to the group of horses browsrnv rn the adyournrng field Drxre the young masters favorrte saddle horse caught hrs eye If somethrng should happen to Drxre rf she should be hurt or Oh lord groaned the old man keep ol Nat from such wrcked thoughts I drdn t mean rt foh a fact I drdn t an don t let anvthrng happen to Drxre Uncle Nat had not realrzed that a summer shower wa comrng up trll the whole sky was blackened and the roll of thunder brought hrm to a realrLat1on of hrs surround rngs Then a vrsron of possrbrlrtres seemed to break upon hrs mrnd Wrthorrt a thought of regret for the hav whrch would be unavordably greatly rnyured by the rarn seerng that the other men were Heerng for shelter and he was left qurte alo e he hurrred to the field where the horses were enclosed and ruthle sly tore doyyn 1 great part of the drvrsron fence between the two plantatrons Then he started ra 1 run for the cabrns for the rarn wa begrnnrng to fall Half vyay there he stopped and stood strll rn the rarn Oh Lord he prayed forgrv drs po srnnrn decertful nrgger but ol Nat arnt bery wrse an sumthrn s gotta be drd an drs rs de only wa he ken thrnk of an yy hen he s lard up wrf de rheumatrz make de parn Jus as bad as yoh thrnk best rn tordance vyrf .re heabrness o de gurlt an ef rts neces ary deah Lord ol Nat s yyrllrn toh dre only so thrnfrs come out rrght I E if C C ' If 7 ' 7 ' ' ' a C 7 , .

'Good thing ol' Nancy ain't here, or sheld be skeared toh death. But Ils bein dis Wet a heap ol times afore, when it couldn't be pervented, an' all dat happened was two days in bed wif de rheumatiz. O' course I vvon't feel real spry foh a couple o' Weeks, but I wonlt be clear down more'n two days, any that'll jus' be time enuf. But Ild bettah build a fire now, an' dry out a leetle, ol' Nat don't wanta die, les' he jus' has toh.' ' The next morning Uncle Nat was tossing and groaning with racking pains. 'Send one o' de niggers ober toh De Pines toh fetch Nancy,' he commanded of the negro who appeared in answer to his calls, 'an' send a man toh De Corners, oh Laws-a-massy, my leg! an' get word sent toh de young massa as how he'll haf toh come home. Dere ain't a one o' yoh wuthles' niggers ken tend toh things right, when ol' Nat ain't dere, an' dat hay's gotta be looked afte1'.' But the young master proved hard to find, and it was afternoon of the next day before he stood in Uncle Nat's cabin, to inquire after the old man's welfare be- fore hestarted out on a tour of inspection. 'Thank de Lord youls come, massa, ol' Nat's be'n turrible worrit. We's sorry toh hav' send foh yoh, but sumthin, had toh be did,' which was far truer than the young master realized then. 'Will de young massa forgiv' dis po' ol' nigger foh all de sins he eber c'mitted 'gainst him ?' 'Why of course, Uncle Nat, you couldn't help getting sick, and you did just right in sending for me,' the young master assured him. The old man's hands Worked nervously under the covers. g 'De hay was all out in de rain, an, de 'vision fence was torn down an' de horses all be in Miss Rosels fields. Such a wuthless passel o' niggers I neber sah, I tole 'em toh tend toh de hay fust, but I spec' dey ain't done nuthin'. Miss Rose, she ain't carin' much 'bout de horses, I reckon, foh she's gwine awa' 'bout tomorrah, an' I reckon she ainft comin' back no more.' W 'Going away, Miss Rose? the 'Inexperienced Man' suddenly leaned heavily against the doorway. 'What do you mean, Uncle Nat ?' What I say, sah, an' I spec she ain't gwine alone, foh she done tole my Nancy as how she's toh giv' Mistah Mervin his answer tonight, but she ain't happy, dat po' chile ain't.' 'But the 'Inexperienced Man' had already gone. Uncle Nat smiled with relief, as he crept painfully out of bed. ' 'Dis here thingls gotta be done up right, ol', Nat's done suffered too much to run any risks noW,' he muttered to himself, as, leaning heavily on a stout oak stick, he made him way to a neighboring cabin. 'Git up fohm dere, yoh lazy, good foh nuthin' niggah,' and he poked with his stick a small barefoot boy sleeping in the sun. 'Run down toh de stables an' saddle two o' de fastest hosses, git a move on yoh now, or I'll learn yoh sumthin',' and he smiled to himself with evident satisfaction as he watched the black legs gleaming in the sunlight as the little darky ran to do his bidding. A short time later Uncle Nat was addressing a tall, dignified, clerical looking gentleman. 'Could de Parson Wheeler go wif a po' ol' nigger to De Pines on a bery im- portant mission ? The Reverend Wheeler looked astonished. The Pines? Could Miss Rose be ill? 76 JILHE SHBIDVRIH 1912 - Oh no, no, the errand was of quite a different nature from that, but would he please not ask any questions and come at once? A horse was ready for his use. And so it happened that the wondering minister was soon ushered secretly into the rose garden, with many requests to only have patience a few minutes and every- thing would be explained. Then Uncle Nat went in search of Aunt Nancy. He found her in the kitchen, shelling peas. Briefly, excitedly, he told her his story, and together the old darkies waited, in almost unbearable suspense. At last a call came from the living room. Aunt Nancy started to her feet. 'Dat's her, she wants me, yoh come toh,' and she forcibly led him along. There they stood, the young master and mistress, and the arm of the 'Inex- perienced lylan' was around the 'Lady of the Roses.' 'I want you to meet your new mistress, Uncle Nat,' said the master, 'and we want to tell you that if it hadn't been for you it might have been too late. If we only had the minister we might settle everything right now. Would you mind, little 'Lady of the Roses' ?' Uncle Nat was crushing and recrushing his shabby old cap in his nervous hands. 'De good Lord bless yoh, young massa, an' yoh, Miss Rose, an' do yoh 'believ' in Providence, 'cause ef yoh do, will yoh look out in de garden, sah ?' Both young people turned to the window, which overlooked the rose garden, where the dark form of the minister could be seen, walking back and forth among the roses, his hands behind his back, a puzzled, thoughtful expression on his face, as though he were at a loss how to work out this inexplainable riddle. For several seconds there was silence in the room, while the negro waited anxiously. Then the 'Lady of the Roses' turned to her lover. 'Will you wait in the garden, dear, till Aunt Nancy and I come ?' Exactly forty-five minutes later the sweetest bride the sun ever shone upon entered the garden, followed by Aunt Nancy. The faithful black hands had arrayed her in her mother's wedding dress, and rose buds were twined through her golden, waving hair. The 'Inexperienced Man' had gathered a large bunch of her favorite roses, and as she took them in her arms she gave him a smile which he has never for- gotten. They were married there in the garden, just at sunset, among the roses. So four hearts were made happy that day through Uncle Nat's strategy. The name of Locust Grove was changed to Rosemont, in honor of the fair mistress, and Uncle Nat and Aunt Nancy lived together in peace and happiness to a ripe old age. And that is the end of my story, and that is why your name is Rosemond and why- If you two people are not out here talking like sweethearts, I declare, I never, grandmother had come up softly behind grandfather's chair, and stroked his white hair tenderly. Rosamond reached up and patted her grandmother's soft, withered hand. I might have known it was 'Your Story,' you two dears, it was just like you, and it was such a sweet story. I'm going to tell it to Dick, or get you to tell it over again, and we'll call our little home Rosemont, we hadn't been able to decide on a name. Thank you, granddaddy, and she dropped a kiss on his forehead. Her grandfather took his wife's hand and held it against his cheek. I meant to add to that story, he continued, that my Rose has not withered yet, but is just as sweet as ever, and her little namesake is becoming more like her every day. But I see some one coming down the street. Go, dear child, let him find his Rose waiting for him in the garden, and if you have time to think of anybody else, you two foolish young things, gather some roses for your old grandmother and grandfather, we'll be waiting for you here on the porch. 77 s '-s Q K 1 1, 45v,,,1 0 Q Q F' NIV '--.Q , A 'V ' Rl. , f I , A Y , M , ,fy q b gd ? , S' ' - ff 4 VIN Q 2, m ': -+-1 x- ff -.QM I :in ffw- V ff' ' f 2 ,Alu ' , s 79 DEBATES 'X 4 2 'T f fin! k wg fy ff Z W W 5 A C in Sf X X Y W , QQ J gf s M 5 a , S nfij XA! d - X ,'.,......4.......- ffyj 5 w f A I L WG f K wxwe Ly , l ff N gp, j 79 JH-IE SQBIDVRIH 1912, .dw ogy? 1 lfomgm IL arab Gig lex!

To the same degree that these characteristics are present or absent, is the book a success of failure. The Junior Class, in launching into the work of publication this year, understood to some extent at least, that these qualities were to characterize the book. We have taken every opportunity to make the Sabiduria a portrayed of student life. This, however, is not to be taken as a boast at the expense of former Sabidurias. Whatever improvements we may have been able to make over last year's book are credited largely to the courage of the Class of yI4 in breaking the way for us. If this book is a broader portrayal of student life than last year's it is because we have built on the experience of some of the present staff with that book. We have enlisted, whenever possible, the aid of students outside our own class, striving to make all feel that it is their book, and not the property and efforts of one class alone. That the book is for the Student Body will be denied by no one, unless there be those among us in whom the last spark of College Spirit is extinct. We have not con- tracted for a large number of books this year, only enough to provide at least one for each student. If you wish to see the Sabiduria made a permanent Annual, the only way to demonstrate your desire to the following class is to support this one by buying at least one book. We have had in mind the necessity of putting the price within reach of every one. VVe wish to express our appreciation for the valuable assistance rendered in the form of counsel by the Business Manager of the preceding Sabiduria, to Miss Rachel Hunter, of St. Louis, and Mr. Harold Crank, of Chicago, for the cartoons which bear their signature, and to the many others who have helped materially, and by their good will, to make this volume what it is.
