CImtings if this, the second volume of the Harveyan, contains certain memories which, in the twilight days of life, will carry us back to the scenes of our Alma Mater; if it embodies those remembrances which we hold dear; if it shall serve to kindle the fire of recollection which we would treasure, then we have not labored in vain PHfifis rv p ft 263- !U3 BISHOP U.

While we have our work it keeps us up, and spurs us on to highest endeavor, and in the mere working and labor the result is, for the time, lost sight of, we are satisfied; but when that work is com- pleted and we have its companionship taken from us, then standing face to face with the result attained, we feel that the work has fallen so far short of what we would have it that it seems to us even a greater failure than it really is. The great love which prompts the work, the higher ideal which inspires it, — the more sickening and absolute must the failure seem to the loving worker. So we, the editors of the second edition of The Harveyan, come before you, feeling, because our hearts are so full of the Alma IVlater love, which has ever been to all her sons so high a source of inspira- tion, because we have striven with the best in ourselves to make this work worthy of her, that now, when we stand face to face with the result of our labors, so much we would have done has been left un- done, so much we would like to see more perfect has been marred in the making; that the result is to us a disappointment. Feeling this dissatisfaction with our work, we trust that there will be something in it that will redeem it from absolute failure and make its perusal a pleasure to you. In this work we have endeavored to make it a true picture of college-life at Morris Harvey in all its various phases. Where we have fallen short we ask your indulgence with our mistakes and shortcomings; where we have succeeded we ask your heartiest con- gratulations for our successes and attainments. To the students, we would have this volume be a constant re- minder of your college days, an open Sesame, which will carry you back to the days of college ideals and high enthusiastic endeavor, of friendships wrought in work and play; that Sesame, which will un- lock for you the richest treasures of memory to strengthen and sus- tain you, comfort and cherish you, when the scenes that are now so familiar to you become far-distant memories. Sometimes when you Page 12 THE turn over these pages the sound of dearly-loved voices will come back to you, fresh and youthful as of yore; and you will live over victories and defeats of class-room, hall and athletic field, rejoicing over the victories and sorrowing over the defeats as truly as you do today. And to you, our brothers, alumni of the Alma Mater, we hope that this work will serve to show that Morris Harvey still follows the same high ideals and lofty endeavors, which have characterized her. To you we stretch out our hands in friendship and brotherly greeting, feeling that we are bound together by the highest, firmest ties of common interest in the well being of our fostering mother. The staff wishes to take this opportunity to express to President Pettis its deep felt gratitude for his help and the interest he has shown in this publication. It was he who inspired and fostered it and through his high ideals helped us to carry it on to completion. So w T e now lay our work before you, asking that you accept it not for what it is, but for what it strives to be. Let it mean to you best endeavors put into a work of love as a slight token of our devo- tion to the Alma Mater who means so much to all her children.

Men call them thus, Though often we have failed to find them, The gilded glitter and joyous gleam. Our elders fondly have to tell us of. We doubt them not; just as the mountain stream Clears from the miner’s pan the sand and silt And leaves the precious yellow grains behind. So will the very quickening flood of time Sweep the dull, during dross from memory’s hoard, And brings a beauteous luster to the light. Past is our college life! Oh how we have To turn our eyes back to that dav of days When we first entered Morris Harvey’s halls. Fresh from the furrowed farm withal to learn. Or full sophisticated from the swing. And where of cities, knowing, all of all, Excepting one small thing — our ignorance! But we are one todav, the college hall. Impartial equalizer of mankind. With cooling atmosphere, has cleared our brains, And broader, deeper, sane , pends us forth. Here part our paths; henceforth no fostering will Controls our steps and lends us a kindlv hand. To calm us. troubled, raise us when we fall. The hand remains, tis true, but in our pride And strength of manhood, independent grown. We are now contented to keep within The radius of the arm that bore ns up. But Ion to sail above some new known swell. So let it ever be. throughout the world The e 0n must higher than father ' - a h. 1 mankind strive upward through the years. We mav not exalt a father’s name. But God forbid th� t one shall drag it down. And now, farewell. Ma each on® H ,r e his life As bes comes the friend of those he loves. Striven to serve each dav his fellowman. And with the p udit of a loving God. J. B. P. Page 23 1925 THE 01 1 a s % of 15 2 3 Flower : Rhododendron. Colors: Purple and White. Motto: Care diem. E. H. Barnett Spence Shannon T. E.

Hampton has deep brotherly feeling and as a minister we expect great work from him; in school he has always been a Professor’s joy. As a teacher he is hard-boiled. In various activities of school life he has taken a very active part and was star of the Preacher’s Quintet. Page 25 THE HENRY LEONARD CLAY, A. B. Barboursville, West Va. B. P.

C. in his boyhood days, graduat- ing with the class of 00. He has been in the field of service as a teacher, banker and minister since receiving his B. P. de- gree. He felt, however, that it would be a splendid opportunity to receive his Bach- elor’s Degree with the Class of 23 and joined us early in the year. He holds dis- tinction as a pulpit orator, and is officially connected with the church; at present time he is Presiding Elder of Huntington District M. E. C. S.

Social hour — 6 hours. “A lion among the ladies is a dreadful thing.” Harvey Fife, better known as “Row has been a student in M. H. C. ever since he had his first long trousers. Nothing seems to separate him from the love of his Alma Mater. After serving in the train- ing camps he found his way back. He is a good athlete, having won his football and basketball letters. He is also a splen- did student, and has given more attention to his college work than anything else. He seeks the field of Chemical Engineer- ing and what he seeks he will find. In him the future will soon have an “all chemist.” Page 27 THOMAS E. JEFFERS, A. B. Charleston, W. Va. .

He gets his knowl- edge from both books and life. He there- fore excels in the class room and is a hail- fellow, well-met on the campus. He is enthusiastic, yet reserved. Thomas is what you might call a good all-round col- lege man. Page 28 HARRY FRANCIS KING, A. B. Cottageville, West Va.

Coming to M. H. C. in 1917, he has spent the greater part of his time since then in work here, particu- larly in the literary field. Phi Deltaism and politics have been his main hobbies, but off the campus those are exchanged for Mrs. King and the two young hopefuls who Da-da him all about the cozy little bungalow in which he may usually be found. Another special interest is his va- rious charges, he having been recognized as a m inister of unusual worth in the con- ference. Page 29 JAMES BROOKE PETTIS. B. S. Norfolk.

Earnest (“Spence”) came to M. H. C. from Parkersburg High. He has taken a part in all school activities. From the very first, when he buncoed the Kangaroo Court to the toot of the last whistle, he has been keeping someone guessing. If it has not been a love affair, it has been a Pig Pen and of course when it comes to turning sod, Spence is a “grounder. His ability as an editor has been shown by the Comet this year. Shannon will be re- membered as a man who had time for all school activities and yet kept his work up to the “A” standard.

Taking oath to adjure the sight of all dissipa- tions, they encamped and were duly labled the Class of Nine- teen Hundred and Twenty-four. Since then, two members have gone into other fields of work; one promised to “love, honor and obey,” and another who grew just a little high, was welcomed heartily into the class just one above us. Several men, desirous of our ever-increasing popularity, joined the band. On a Monday night, several months after the arrival of this said army, the Freshmen class presented a farce, Training a Husband, to dear old Barboursville. The novel entertainment met with well- merited applause. As the crowd wended its way homeward, all voted the evening to have been most enjoyably spent. At the time of the writing of this history, the shieks and shiekesses of our class are working diligently, every afternoon and every night on the “Arrival of Kitty.” Perhaps we need funds to buy flowers for the biggest social event of the season, THE JUNIOR- SENIOR BANQUET. We have the best scholastic standing of all classes. V ell repre- sented are we on the athletic field with good men. Topnotch business men, executors, treasurers, editors, authors, actors, singers, sling- footers, tobacco-bums, — and — the most ardent lovers of the twentieth century. This is no good. I know. Just give me time. I am uncertain now. “A senior is one who knows and knows that he knows, and we have only one year left to learn. Expect anything in the next Harveyan. All the senior section of 1 924 may be filled with fact which make up our memorable history. HISTORIAN.

From this class, the two literary so- cieties each chose a president and minor officers. Likewise three annual literary contestants have been chosen from its ranks — all making a creditable showing. Two are “Scribblers, ” the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.’s have chosen leaders and delegates to represent the college at Student Conventions were chosen from our group. This distinguished class has given the football team Captain Westfall. And from our number President Pettis, after looking the student body over, selected our Nellie to be secretary for him in the college office. While yet in our sophomore year, the church has called and placed three class- mates as pastors of important stations in the Huntington and Charles- ton districts. Seven are members of the Southern Methodist Church, one a Baptist, six are Democrats and two belong to the Grand Old Party. The class grade record has been good, some soaring at times as high as any other in college, while occasionally one would lower beneath a wave, but soon to reappear and paddle safely to the shore of “Getting By.” This completes the history of this already famous group of col- lege men and women, but in order that the reader might judge the future careers of these persons, in a few closing remarks the calls that come ringing in the ears of each sophomore will be stated. Bishopric calls “Mac,” Art and Funk. The Democratic party is call- ing for the statesmanship of Homer. The Y. M. C. A. must have a leader to put on a world wide campaign and Harrison lays down the “Bamboo Self-filling Fountain Pen” and his “Ajax Comb Strop — though he still retains controlling interest in the Hager Department Store at Madison — he answers: “Here am I, send me.” The ath- letic world calls for Christian gentlemen who have starred in all phases of athletics and “Deacon advances. A young millionaire has asked, “Will you leave all and ioin me in happy wed-lock to make mv life one joyous song?” And Nellie after much and serious con- sideration says, “Yes.” But “Huck,” always the favorite and life of the class, as popular and lovable as the Divine hand can shake, listens to the wooing of many; but rather than show favoritism to any or to cause jealousy to arise has resolved to go through life alone and depending upon her own resources.

Beautiful “Brown-eyed Susans’’ and fresh “Jump-up-Johnnies, ’’ and as green; mountain lads and lassies all, bringing with them the pleasant fragrance and beauty of their mountains and valleys. In such a manner, we came, filled with animation and confidence, for we believed ourselves to be well edu- cated. We had accomplished the unbelievable, the thing hoped for by our parents, and despaired of by each of us; we had extracted enough knowledge from our books and teachers to be granted high school diplomas. Yes, we were well educated and had come to Morris Harvey to add the finishing touches and perhaps a little polish to our education. But, Oh! how sad was the disillusionment, for we found that even after finishing high school that one must study if he stays in college, and that is why some of our members are not present to enjoy the fruits of our victory. They find out things too late. It was no matter who our instructors were, they turned out to be “hard- boiled,’’ and expected entirely too much of us. It appeared to be bad taste if one of us ate with his knife, sipped his coffee daintily with his spoon, or drank his soup from the bowl with a healthy gurgle. Many things were learned by us in a surprisingly short time. Our whole world has been overturned, and slowly we felt ourselves sinking in the estimation of the faculty. A sad deficiency had been created in our estimation of ourselves, also. Even the faculty and the president do not take us seriously. They never ask us to speak in chapel. When the College Student Body was organized, we again suf- fered a surprise; none of us even nominated for presidency. They might have given us a chance for we are smart and talented, even though we are young. The Freshmen Class. This was one organi- zation in which they could not keep our members from holding office. We elected three Freshmen to hold offices in the Class.

On February fourteenth a Valentine party was given, and the Varsity Basketball Team was entertained. The Junior Class gave the Seniors a banquet, which was one of the largest social events of the season. Too much cannot be said for the Juniors, for they are one of the most sociable and precise classes in school. As any Senior Class could not be complete complete without a class play, “All of a Sudden Peggy,” a three-act farce, was given on May twenty-sixth, nineteen hundred nineteen. As this is just our history of four years of high school, wait and read the life history of the class ten years from now — when we have reached our ideals, the ideals which we have set as our goal.

Page 8 I THE K vr i i i i i i i m rn 5 1925 raaaa t TTi i l l l i i i i 1 i i i 7 Acaiunuu Santinrs last lllill an (testament E the Senior Class of 1923, do hereby make our last will and testament: To the Juniors, we leave our most treasured possession, our dignity. May they guard and keep it as we have through- out our Seniorhood. To the members of the Faculty, we leave no hard feelings. In order that the high school may be a better institution, we do hereby bequeath these blue laws, which are to-wit: 1 . No sparking in the halls, church, or social hour. 2. No freshmen may keep social hour. 3. No high school girl may go with a college man. 4. No high school man may go with a college girl. 3. No girls, but Seniors, will be allowed to use rouge or lipstick except in the privacy of their rooms. 6. Senior girls only can walk to and from chapel with boys. 7. Underclassmen are to always be at the service of the Senior boys and always go to them for advice. 8. Any underclassman who is caught with cigarettes in his possession may have the privilege of buying a Senior a carton of Camels. 9. All students in high school shall be required to keep a note- book in each and every one of his studies. 10. Freshmen who reside in Billingsley Hall must, on every Monday, thoroughly clean one Senior’s room. We leave all these rules and regulations in care of the Juniors and hoping that they will be carried out to the letter. Our seats in the auditorium we leave to the Juniors, hoping that they will be as regular in attendance as we were. To the freshmen class of 24 we leave all our old book reports, notebooks, and old textbooks. The following personal bequeaths are made: “Peggy” Douthat wills her vamping ability to Nannie Ellen Frye to add to her already ample supply. When Maud and Mary Christian receive their diplomas, they wish to leave in return for them their Lizzie, as they think that the Page 82 THE 1923 3 3 ' i umPjq-OK? s« 3 f i n |- r College needs to give a course in automobile driving to attract Candy Ankles. Doyle Yoak, the star orator of the Senior Class, leaves to Bill Dower his speaking ability as Bill’s tongue seems to be contantly on the move. Lenna Jarrel, upon taking leave of us this year, wills her sweet disposition to Eulah Stallman, hoping all the while that Eulah will never lose her well-known qualities along that line. While saying good-bye to her high school days, Essylt Crowe leaves to Nell Jimison her well-known “spit-curl,” as she thinks such an article would be becoming to her. Martha Neel, one of our most loved Seniors, leaves the petition which she has carried from room to room of Rosa Harvey Hall during the last few years to Virginia White, hoping that she will some day get up enough courage to sign it. •T £ {? u ng L on . e of her generous moods, Lydia Swetnam leaves the hite that she has treasured so in her Senior Year to just anyone who seems bent on a musical career. R ,1 ? Kirby j U r P °, n leavin S this year, wills his tattered books to Ku h Baker, and if she uses them as they have been in the past he will send her a button from his West Point uniform.

Mattie Baxter leaves to Deacon Westfall her Southern brogue, as it might be of use to him when travelling in Kentucky next summer. Beulah Collinsworth leaves to our good friend Roy Flint her in- dustrious nature. Pinkey Chambers leaves his entertaining wit to Sylvia Hender- son. Florrie Hager, in taking leave of us, wills her good behavior to “Bill” Taylor. Flarwood Taylor leaves to Calvert Kelly his skill in basketball, to be used in the high school tournament next year.

Margaret Smith wills all those class cuts she has made against herself to Helen Jarrel. Mildred Love wills one-half dozen of her Senior pictures to Mor- ris Harvey College to be used as they think best.

D j RIENDS the ex ercise of the day must come to a close. 1 his day might well be compared to a bridge across the gap between our happy school days and the years of responsi- bility that lie before us. Now the bridge is almost crossed. The morning sun will find us on the other shore with new environments and new activities ahead of us. On the morrow we shall face a new outlook, with changed perspective and a different sense of values. The careers we would build for ourselves demand planning, striving, and unceasing effort. But it is fitting to the occa- sion for us to pause a moment now and reflect over the happy mem- ories of school days before we say farewell to the never-to-be-forgotten years spent around here. Classmates, this is the last time we shall all be together in a school exercise. The halcyon days of our associations as fellow stu- dents end to-day. Every beat of our hearts is ushering us on to the end of our class career. Will you stand and pause for a moment, dear classmates, as mem- ory penetrates the scenes of these happy years? Fix the pictures of those glorious times on memory ' s walls till they shall never fade, lo-day marks the end of some of our happy school days here and the beginning of our contact with the sober, work-a-day world. � . What 1S th e one great outstanding picture in your memories? ’ dear class mates, you know what it is. It is the pleasure and joy m Tf :° ntaCt and associa tions with each other, in study, in play and good fellowship— these are the things that tint every scene a rosy hue. co A n d baCk ° f aU ° Ur Hfe here has stood our dear teachers, aiding, unse mg, sympathizing and encouraging us with untiring patience ti ° Ur tr ° U I 3les ' our sorrows and our joys. Dear classmates, emo- as it 1“ mC ’ and W ° rds refuSC t0 appear ’ suitable to express you h ° U f l tHe great a PP reciat ion which I know that each one of us donkl ° r tHeSe kmd teachers who have so faithfully worked for •ng our joys and dividing our sorrows with ever an eye for Page 85 what was best for us. We, as a class and individually, have been helped, stimulated, inspired, guided, advised and benefitted by these kind teachers. No worry has been too trivial or task too arduous for them to perform for us. They have always been interested in the things that would be most beneficial in helping us to reap the greatest possible benefit from our school days. And now, dear classmates, to these kind, unselfish advisors, we must say farewell. No longer shall we be permitted to go to them daily in our perplexities or meet them who have been so much to us and who have had such profound influence on our lives. But let us not pass on without acknowledging that deep debt of gratitude which we owe to our beloved Alma Mater for the many opportunities and benefits it had provided for us. We Morris Harvey and will always hav e in our hearts a spirit of loyalty to you. For some of us, dear classmates, our school days are at an end. We have crossed the bridge, and must now say goodbye to our school, our dear teachers, and each other. And so fond, joyous, happy years, goodbye; and to our dear teachers, farewell. J. W. K., Valedictorian. The Mediums talk of Spirits, As all of you know full well, So the future of the members of 23 I entreated one to foretell. And this was what was told me I hope each one agrees — If you’ve planned a different future. Remember the Spirits please! Our president, Lydia Swetnam, Will champion Woman’s Cause She 11 sit in the halls of Congress And help to make great laws. Pinkey, the pest and disturber, A preacher some day will be Ralph Thompson and “Jimmie” Darrah As college professors you’ll see. Beulah, our artist lassie, A minister will wed — Leman will be a lawyer, And the courts of fame will tread. Maude and Mary Christian Will sing in a far-off land — Doyle Yoak as a Latin professor Before great classes will stand. Lenna, Essylt and Mildred Teachers are destined to be And yet not always, for some day They 11 sail matrimony’s sea. John Kirby will sit in power — You’ll see in the President’s chair; Harrison 11 be a banker — Gladys Summers an artist fair. Margaret, Julia and Florrie Will enter business some day — While Shorty and Mae and Hortense Home-makers will walk life’s way. Mattie will lecture widely, Pauline a teacher will be — Tarzan will be a doctor- And Martha a bride you’ll see. Marguerite Hart as an actress A brilliant success will attain, Till at last she wearies of acting And home pleasures seeks again. And Steen will delve in science, Till Darwin shall lose his fame — And even Walker and Blackwell Shall bow before his name.

Our Class was small, containing ose who felt that they could not afford to tax their brains in trying to grad- uate in three years. Many of the students who had labored w h during our Sophomore and Freshmen years, now went on to parta of th glory of being a Senior, going out into the world to leave us We chose Miss Verne Hamlin as our leader .o lead us through our year o( success and-bu. we were sure that we would not have any failures.

The largest event in the Junior History is the Junior-Senior Ban- quet, which we gave the Seniors. As 1 have said before, t e Jun Class was small and to give the Seniors a banquet would mean hard wo EUch and every member of the Class. Nevertheless we were not afraid of work and so far as we could see the Seniors have a very enjoyable evening. i there I could write an account of each member of t e ass, is no. any use in doing that as I have dwelled long enough Hhegl V of our Class, to let you understand that we were a model class which the School could be proud.

Page 90 Arabmny Junior (Class Jrnphcry M AV NE bright day as I lay under some trees in the woods, 1 be- I 1 ban thinking of the many happy days that had passed in the halls of M. H. C., and suddenly I had a longing to know what the future had in store for the members of my beloved class. 1 must say I was somewhat amazed, shocked, surprised, and happy when Ariel broke loose from Prospero, jumped out of the “Tempest” and came to my aid. 1 will give you a few of the prophecies just as Ariel gave them to me. He started with Hilda Jane Brown. Now that’s strange, isn’t it? But anyhow I think he made a good start. Hilda, we re sorry for you because you are to remain fat forever. So you might just as well put aside your reducing apparatus and spend the time on your “spit curl” or in trying to produce a louder crack with your “Juicy Fruit.” Nannie Ellen,” Ariel says, “is really going to graduate next year. The news, we think, should bring gladness to her loving heart. Alice is really going through the looking glass into wonder- land. Don’t you tell a soul, and 1 will whisper it to you. She is going to sail the sea of matrimony. Vivian, however, is going to remain single until — ? In the meantime she is going to study French, because, Ariel says, with a sad look on his face, “He is going to be a Frenchman.” Flint is going to Oxford in the days to come. He will graduate with honors and come out a second John Wesley. Cecil is going to be forever a lover of women. Although some day Dan Cupid will take a good aim and then — goodby Cecil! Raymond, the quietest boy in our class, is destined to become a bachelor. But he will have wonderful success in the career he chooses. Burton is going to startle, not only our own nation, but the na- tions of other continents of the earth, because he will be one of the greatest musicians of the age. He is to write a composition which Wl be even more famous than that of Beethoven’s “Moonlight Page 91 Sonata.” Nova will bring honors to herself in an educational line, before she enters upon her domestic duties. She is destined to bring happiness to the fortunate man. Poor Sylvia, there’s no hope for you! You are to be an old maid. But Ariel says that you will be happy in making the world brighter for others and that your kind heart will cheer all with whom you come in contact. After receiving her education, Nell is to sail out upon matri- mony’s sea. The groom-to-be will be a successful business man, and they will live very happily. Thelma is to become a great renowned painter of her time. Her pictures are to be placed in all the leading art galleries both in this country and Euoper. She is to become a renowned housekeeper as well. Verna, the beloved president of our class, is to bring happiness to thousands of despairing hearts in “The Dark Continent.” She is destined to become one of the most noted missionaries of her time. A great future is in store for Forest Stewart. He will be one of the greatest politicians of the age. His tact and ability will win for him a place in Congress and he will accomplish many things for the betterment of humanity. Kester Epling is going to win much fame for himself throughout the entire world with his voice. However he will not spend his entire life in singing to the world, because he loves the fireside. Some beautiful woman is to make his life happy. With these words Ariel flew back into The Tempest. Oh, Junior Class, 1 wish you health, I wish you joy in good store, 1 wish you heaven after death, What could I wish you more?” R. W. K„ Prophet.

Page 98 THE 1923 NE DAY as I was walking through the woods, I came across f l | c ” a v uin aui woo an old mossy log and being rather tired, I sat down to rest and while sitting there 1 fell asleep. 1 had a dream and it was so strange that I don’t thing that anyone could have one like it. This was my dream : William Hunt, Benjamin Hedrick, Mr. Harsh, Mr. Cooper and Mr. O Dell have all become successful clergymen. Ruth Lambert Lillian Baumgardner, Bee Miller and Helen Jarrel have all become famous writers and their books are welcomed in every home. But Willia Taylor, Ethel Ward and Patty Frye are all destined to sail the sea of matrimony. Previous to my dream I did not think that we had any people preparing to be missionaries, but in my dream there appeared four names who had made a success as missionaries 1 hey are: Anna Browning, Roma Dawson, Mable Beasley and Lucille Morrison. Harry Burgess is in Congress and Thomas Crumpler has given up his novels and has entered into business and is making a wonderful success. Karl Degler and Arnet Hager have found that their dreams are realized; they are electrical engineers. Estelle Lambert could not withstand the temptation and has married an English Peer, but a plain American suits Miss Fannin. Gertrude (jothard. Lioldi Davie anr] Pall Y — 1 _ 11 F. L. B., Prophet.

BECKELHEIMER Herman (Beck) Beckelheimer was made director of phy- sical education at Morris Harvey College in September 1920. He is an alumnus of the College, having attended it for four years. He was unusually prominent in athletics, and was honored by being elected captain of the baseball and the football teams in his junior year. From Morris Harvey College he went to Vanderbilt University where he was a member of the football team. Here he became famous and was mentioned as a member of the mythical All-Southern eleven. His experience as an athletic mentor is a long one. He was Athletic and Physical Training Director at Southern College of Florida one year, and Bethany College, West lrginia, one year. During the war he was stationed at Camp Lee, Virginia. 1 lis work at Morris Harvey has been most commendable. His teams have been representative ones, some of them having made excellent records. Coach Beckelheimer is a gentleman through and through, and his influence has ex- tended to the members of the teams which he has coached. This influence has made teams under his tutelage known throughout the state as sportsmen and gentlemen.

THE GOOD COOKS OF MORRIS HARVEY 19 23 suspect that they, the dear, sweet things, are the cause of Mr. Swann’s disgracing himself with his mustache — although the fair Nellie Rosen- crance strongly avers that she “Detests” them. While thinking on these things 1 was much disconcerted to hear the bell ring for classes and forthwith repaired to my English History class — where 1 enjoyed a nice nap in spite of the disturbance around me. On waking, I was, believe me, much vexed to find that the rest of my classmates had left me and the class had been over for fifteen minutes. Spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around aimlessly, hither and yon, smoking and thinking upon the evils of the world. I met several friends and also observed Professor Pangle and Miss McNeer out walking, which delight my heart much, as it turned my thoughts to the days when 1 was young and much in love in the spring. I also thought on the fickleness of women and resolved forth- with to write to my girl and ask her if she loved me, to which she would no doubt respond “Yes.” although I really suspect that she does not. Returned in time for supper where I was delighted to find a friend from whom I borrowed some of the filthy lucre of the world, — with which I took a young lady to a basketball game where our boys disported themselves wtih much gusto and enthusiasm and I called wildly at them and beseeched them to win — all of which alarmed my fair companion who thought 1 was beside myself and had gone crazy. But I assured her of my sanity and forthwith returned her to Rosa Harvey Hall with many protestations of my devotion to her, which delighted her much and myself also, albeit I did wonder whether she believed me or not.
