To what degree of success we ha e attainerl let our kind readers flecide. If these pages provoke a few reminiscent smiles, a heartv laugh or so, and, mayhap, bring out here and there a serious thought, we will not feel that our work has been in vain.

RESOLUTIONS Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the North Georgia Agricultural College on the death of William Pierce Price, THE President OF THE Board. LLIAM P. PRICE is dead. This melancholy announcement has brought the sadness of a personalliereave- ment to each member of this Board. To most of us he has been a life long friend and to • onie of us he was bound by the most intimate personal and professional ties. In addition to the sense of personal loss his death has made a vacancy in our own number that all of us feel it will be very hard to fill. For 36 years he has presided over the annual meetings of this body and, in all of that long period, has never missed an annual Commencement. It was while he was a member of Congress from the 9th District of Georgia that he secured from the government the old mint building and 10 acres of land as the beginning of the institution. He prom ised the government at that time, that if this property should be devoted to education that he would devote the balance of his life to an eiTort to remove the dark lines of illiteracy from his native State. How well he has redeemed this promise in the devotion of his strong young manhood and maturing years to the cause of education, all of us know. He has given not only his time, but he has generously appropriated a large part of his personal income in helping the needy, young peo- |.le of this section of the State. When the old mint building was burned he pledged his personal credit to secure the money for a new building until the Legislature could make an appiopriation to replace the loss. The members of this I ' .dard, as well as the members of the oki Board of Trustees, can all bear cheerful testimony to his tireless devotion to the institution, through his long period of service of 30 years. In this long period of time he has seen the institution grow in power and in usefulness. Largely through his powerful influence with friends, in the Legislature and out of it, the college now owns four well appointed buildings well equipped for successful work. Even in his last protected illness, through weary hours of almost ceaseless pain, his eye would brighten and his face grow radiant at the reports of a larger attendance and growing facilities for better work in the institution. In one of his last reports to the Governor he said: For 3G years I have presided over the Board of Trustees and directed as best I could, the destiny of the school. The enfeebled condition of my worn-out body admonishes me that this may be my last report to the Governor and to the General Assembly. I had hoped to round out forty years of my ministry of education in this section of the State, Init it may be that I shall be called away before the time comes to make another annual report. If this be my last word, let me make it an earnest word to the Governor and to the Legislature ; cherish this child of my affection. You have no institution that has done and is doing nobler service for the State. . n - review of his long and useful career will show that he stands well at the front, in that company of distinguished Georgians who have rendered such noble service to the State. For distinguished loyalty to duty he won promotion after l)romotion in the war between the States. In that hard and trying period of the Reconstruction days he served his people well. He e.xerted a potential influence in framing the new constitution of the State and in passing legislative enactments adapted to the needs of our people. W ' itli liis own hand he penned tlie ccmMitntinnal i)rii l i( n that Tlu- I ' .ilile shouhl Udt he exchuled from the jtuhHe schools of the State. In the Congress of the L ' nited States his leadership was so tactful as to win the atTectionate regard of the strong men from all sections of the L ' nion. Among the last messages sent hy (ien. Ciraut when he was dying at Mt. Gregor was a message of warmest love and friendship to his Georgia friend, Col. Price. When the wires flashed to us the message that the end had come to him, our venerahle leader and friend, dur nwn hearts ' oiced their sense of loss in the language of one (if iild, Know ye not that there is a |)rince .-ind a great man fallen this da ' in Israel. The workers die hul the work must go on. The members of this Board desire to put (Hi record tlieir pnifnund sense of gratitude to God tiiat He spared for useful service the life (if our hcmnred President thrdugh so long a ])eriiid of vears. Therefore be it resolved: First, That in tiie death of W. P. Price, the honored President of this Board, the Institution has lost a presiding officei who has faithfully and wisely directed its afifairs for 3G years. Second, That in his public career, as well as in his private life, his high sense of moral rectitude, his unselfish devotion to duty, his unwavering loyalty to what he believed to be right, his patient love of his feliow man, and his unclouded faith in the All-wise Ruler of men, are shining facets of the bright jewel of his soul that shouM reillnmine for us all what is true and what is good and what is beautiful in human life. Third, That the cause of education in the State, and especially in this section of the State, has lost its oldest and wisest friend. Fourth, That his long public career, unstained by any reproach, and his bright and sunny home life, blessed with every human afifection, make a shining example of civic righteousness and domestic happiness that all of our young men would do well to imitate. Let a copy of this preamble and resolutions be presented to his family and spread upon our minutes. Faculty and Officers FACULTY AND OFFICERS 1 908- 1 909. David C. Barriiw , C. and M. 1- ., CiiAs.

L. Duggan. Carl Burnett, B. A., Dahlonega, Ga. Carl, better known as Chocolate. Asricultnrist, Captain of Co. B. Always has a smile for e ery one he meets. He was never known to do any- thing unless he was compelled to ( except once. ) Carl is mortally afraid of fire and always gives the alarm, especially on the coming in of the new year. He had rather sleep than eat. Reads for his health. Crazy about the girls, but wants them to call on him. He is an all-round, good, jolly fellow, but not a sport. G. N. Bynum, A. B., Pine Mountain, Ga. G. N. Bynum, our most honored major, wandered into Dahlonega from somewhere in the mountains of North Georgia called Pine Mountain in the count) ' of Raljun. Has been with us only five years. Has already graduated once. He has led quite a military career, holding nearly every office in the battalion from corpora! to major. He has even held the position of assistant commandant. The major is very shy when in the presence of ladies. He has even been known to go a quarter of a mile out of his wav to keep from coming face to face with one. He is now our class treasurer. E. J. Cavender, Dahlonega, Ga. Caveiuler, E. ]., better known as Lieutenant or Edgar. From early childhood Edgar has shown signs of a genius. In his early youth he was never known to tell a lie, leading many of his associates to believe that another Washington was being raised. Work and study was all he cared for. As he grew older, however, there were many changes in his life. First, for some mysterious reason he fell in love with a fair maid of eighteen summers and just when he thought that the time was near when he could claim her as his bride he was suddenly shocked by receiving an announcement that his loved one had eloped with another. This was the beginning of another change in his career, so he decided to return to his studies and carry out his first plans for manhood. After completing his studies in the high school he came to the N. G. A. College for further preparation. While here he has led his class in many respects. First, he is among the leaders in his studies; second, he has won fame as a sport; and third, he has again turned over and has the name of the greatest ladies ' man in the Senidr Class. F. C. Cavender, B. S., Sigma Nu, Dahlonega, Ga. He IS better known as Fred 1)y his classmates. He was horn and [lartly raised on a farm some distance from town, so naturally his early schooling was scant as compared with the average town or city youth. Yet after all this Fred was a studious fellow and made good use of his time, his amiiition at this time was to prepare himself to take charge of a countr)- liul)lic school near his home. By chance he heard of the X. G. A. College and the great work that was being done here for the young men of the country, so he made up his mind at once to come. The first w eek Fred was in Dahlonega he spent his time isiting the public buildings and jirincipal ]ilaces of interest. During this time his ideals began to grow and his mind ciianged from master of the county school to something higher. He began his work as diligent!}- as possible, .soon pro ing himself to be aboxe the a ' erage. He has always taken great interest in all the affairs of his class as well as his classmates (especially one) and he informs us that his desire now is to graduate and with his special favorite of the Senior Class to take charge of the newly established college at jMurraville. T. O. Calloway, B. A., Pi Kappa Alpha, Elberton, Ga. In the year 1!)(I4 there arrix ' cd in the Httle village of Dahlonega, which lies snugly nestled between the high jieaks of the lar-famed TUue Ridge Almuitains, one T. O. Galloway, otherwise Tom. lie has another name, however, hv which he is better known among the student body, and which is even more appropriate than simple Tom, and no doubt he is tpiite fond of this name for he has been known to use it quite lavishly upon certain occa- sions. JMany a billetdoux (of which he is (piite fond) has stopped short with simpl ' Togo and nothing more. His inheritance of this title, however, is due to no consanguinary con- nections with the great Japanese Admiral of that name. A great ball pla er. Was also editor of the North Georgian, and business manager of the IIMIT-IIMIS Cyclops. Captain of Company A, and prophet of our class. Is one of the farmer boys. ' ery quiet, just grins when pleased. Is great tactitian in breaking quarters. H. V. Johnson, B. S., Dougherty, Ga. Believes in doing his duty although he gets his face beat up. Was never known to do anything that did not come under the rules and regulations of the College. All the girls want to talk to him, but he s Afraid to go Home in the Dark. Has been here since ISH)-. , and would not vary from one beaten path. Is an athlete, but would not enter the games for fear of being noticed. Has had the feelings of a Senior and also the privileges, before entering this class of 1909. Is often seen strolling up to the College after the Chapel exercises are over, and will ever meet you with a smile. Fannie McGuire, B. S., Dahlonega, Ga. We can all truthfully say that Fannie is a noble-hearteil t;irl and (ine with grit, for she is the only girl in the class that has gone through. During her college career she has Ijeen studious. It mattered not how hard or how- much work she had to do, the perpetual smile, which has been an inspiration to us all, never disappeared from her face. She was especially fond of history ami music. Oftentimes when she was not reading some ancient olume, she could be heard singing and playing her favorite, Are You Sincere? Fannie was devoted to her class and all the memljers (especially one) and also took a leading part in the dramatic plays, her last and favorite play was Trying to Find a Cook, leading her, n(j doubt, to think of the future. There was only one thing that seemed to bother her during her college career and that was to get to college in time for Chapel Services, In summing u]i her past and predicting her future, we can safely say that she will be a model fur many to follow and if she carries out her plans, which is to take charge of the Music Department of Bonnetsville after graduation, we are all sure that she will prove to be a shining light to the citizens of that town. Burt McKee, B. S., Dahlonega, Ga. Hurt, (jtherwise Shorty. Caisson Corporal, walking step ladder, and moon fixer. Great spieler and nioun-shiner. sport and ladies ' man. wears a No. 14 shoe. Rurt is not afraid to put eighteen sacks of powder in the cannon to try to burst it. Si.imetimes ties goats in the College Chapel. He is Professor Rowland ' s riglU hand man. also cashier of the college bank. Burt is sure never to have lung trouble as he breathes the purest air. Will ne er have to pay poll tax as his head is out of the county. He would play football but he is afraid of stepping on somebody. Chas. Elliot Power, A. B., Pi Kappa Alpha, Vienna, Ga. In size Charley is the baby of the class but he has had (|nite a miniljcr of narrow escapes. Having studied so hard is enough to make anyone small. He is Lieutenant of the Artillery. He wouldn ' t miss the sixth period for anything but is always so unfortunate as to have something very impor- tant to do about that time. Charlie is especially fond of the girls. If anyone wants to know how, or the best way to kiss a girl just ask him. He is very fond of Brenau. If you want to make him do anything fur you just say Please. He tried it once himself. He has once been known to go off on very mysterious hunts and cmce he was so inifortnnate as to lie mistaken for a robber and was fired upon. It is useless to say he did get away in a hurry. Coo-coo, Charlie. Henry Whelchel, E. M., Murrayville, Ga. Henry started at the beginning, and has been going to the X. G. A. C. as long as the oldest inhabitants of Dahlonega can remember. Genuine Miner — good example of the survival of the fittest. ' as never known to study but stays down at the Mining Department every day and Sunday too. Is Prof. Richard ' s man Friday, likes to go out with him on mining trips in the mountains. Positively refuses to go to Chapel or Class meetings; takes no interest in anything but himself. Great society man — dances like the mischief; quite graceful and awkward, does both stunts at the same time. Very economical, assayed the whole interior of assay furnace to recover 30 cts. worth of gold. A Blacksmith of the first rank, especially rank. In other words Henry is a sight. Knows what he wants — was known to go to a certain store in town and ask for a No. 14 collar. The merchant replied that he was out of that number, but asked if any other would do. Yes, he said 27 ' s. Was never known to go to church or Sunday School, he abhors the military. Is a jolly good fellow and is liked by every-body. E. D. Willingham, E. M., Pi Kappa Alpha, Atlanta, Ga. Gene is a fair sample of Atlanta spirit, is a sport from tiie heart of the Mining Department. One day. when told by a Professor to go to the mines that night, replied ; Professor it is impossible for me to go. I have been here fonr years and have not attempted to give np my work for society and now when I do try to be a sport you try t(.i put me to work on free nights. That night at twelve o ' clock Gene was seen dragging himself with a mining transit after him out of a shaft. While thus employed he was heard to say Atlanta for mine. He is an adjutant in good standing but can ' t read the guard report with- out stopping for breath. Was once in charge of a body of men who called themselves artillerymen, but he was never known to give but two commands: Fall in and rest. Hates work in the blacksmith shop as much as he loves Atlanta. Was never known to leave a thing unfmished after once conuuencing it, therefore he is sticking to the E. M. course, although he intends to be a lumberman. p. W. Vaughn, B. S., Dahlonega, Ga. Polly, a name which he acquired in some mysterious way, and in some respects quite appropriate. A hard student, althout h it has been rumored (maliciously, of course,) that he expends more energy in planning how not to do a thing that he does in how to do it. Great ladies man (to be). Has an unbounded love for the girls, but he doesn ' t tell them of it. Plays pranks on his professors. Is a corporal and when all is said he is a good steady student. William Alters, B. A., Pi Kappa Alpha, Atlanta, Ga. llill, the farmer and utilitv man. A very joxial and congenial felKiw. Always greets you witli tliat perpetual :-mile that seems to be an indispensable part of his nature. He impresses every one that he is among that class of men that Live to Love. Bill has made (juite a record as an athlete, especially on the baseljall diamond, being X. G. A. C. ' s star third baseman. He is a great lover of luusic (latlies, too) and is known as Dahlonega ' s celebrated snare drummer, which position he has held, without a ri al, for the past two years. He possesses many of the essentials to manhood as well as aptitude for a successful business career. C. A. Bennett, B. A., Murrayville, Ga. Charley is one of the greatest working men that ever entered a college, studies for pastime, and never seems satisfied or ever grows weary. Second only to Daniel Boone as a hunter. Keeps a pack of hounds with him always to hunt with Prof. ' ickery. Great trader. A strong believer in the saying that There is never any- thing lost, for what one loses another will gain. Believes military is useless, and declares he will abandon the department when he becomes twenty-five. Noted for the tact and skill with which he rides the sick book. Never known to fail to get on when he didn ' t want to go to college or church. Greatest society man of the class, is known far and wide as the Heart- breaker. ' omen can ' t resist his wooings reinforced by his brilliant eyes and a smile that has won him a home among the fair sex. I. L. Duggan, B. A., Irwington, Ga. Duggan : What means this laziness that hangs upon nie. This lethargy creeps through all my system. Addison. Rajah of Slumherland. The em- bodiment of ease and grace. If laziness is money, he ' s a millionaire. Sleeps when he talks and takes c alisthenics. Member of band wind jannner. .Athklc. Would have made all-Snutliern tackle, but last triangle despoiled his dream. Would ha e missed his Thanksgiving dinner, but played the part of lightning getting back. Favorite e.xpressiun, I am lazy and I don ' t give a darn who knows it. R. J. Martin, B. A., Sigma Nu, Lula, Ga. Roy is famous for his discoveries am! inventions — discovered perpetual moti(;in — in ented many plans and schemes with which to pass from one class til the other without studying. He has said tliat he vt)uld get his Dip if his professor didn ' t watch him. He likes Daddy ' s B Math. He is a member of the Has iieen Club, and lielongs to the Artillery detachment, yet he is not guilty of disturbing the peaceful repose of the people by shoot- ing the cannon during the night. He cracks many witty jokes on his school- mates, thugh became very angry and re(|uired an explanation as to meaning when called the wag of school. He has an ambition to become a Sunday School professor, however he seems to be somewhat ]iiiliticall ' inclined as he is sometimes seen taking a straw ballot of the student body in order to determine the results of the next gubernatorial campaign. H. E. Dorminy, B. A., Sigma Nu, Fitzgerald, Ga. Edward won the hearts of both sexes on his ininiedialc arri al in ihc Nugget City, but no wonder, his stately figure and gond looks wcinld win him a place in anybody ' s heart. As a footliall artist he stands in the first raid-: ( vniecjualcd ) Inning for two consecutive years played center on N. G. A. C. Varsity, winning for him- self great renown on the gridiron. He found life in the artillery too strenuous, giving it u]) for the position of wielding the baton, with the same stately grace wdiich characterizes his every movement. fdis voice is only equalled by that of the great Caruso. His greatest am!)ition is to become a Tiller of the Soil, and we wish him the greatest success and may liis future career be one that will win for liini the greatest honor in The Land of Gophers and .Alligators. I leave him with you as I haven ' t the heart to say more. W, W. Nunnally, B. A., Monroe, Ga. To tell the record of White is somewhat of a ]iroblem for several reasons. Being raised in one of the principal farming sections of the State, it was natural for him to have a desire to take up some line of farming for life ' s work. ot being thoroughly acquainted with all the fundamental problems which form the basis of scientific agriculture, he decided to enter the X. G. A. College for the purpose of better fitting himself for iiis future career, . fter entering College and coiuing in contact with students who were ])rocuring other courses as Mechanics, IMining, etc., such as Mr. Xunnally had not exper- ienced before, he began to grow fond of these branches as well. ' ery often we find him exchanging ideas with the city mechanic (or a certain mcndier of his family), next we find him inspecting a large farm on the road to Porter Springs, when we see him again he is cither displaying his genius as a soldier on the drill field or as an athlete on the teiuiis court, lint from his set-ming partiality of the college cattle we are inclined to think that he will finally secure a position as assistant dairyman in some college. J. W. Davidson, Special E. M., Sigma Nu, Atlanta, Ga. He is taking Special Engineering Course. Doesn ' t like it. but keeps it because someone said he wouldn ' t. Contrariness is his chief characteristic, as he shows when he goes in bathing. He always gets the ladies ' bathing suit if possible. Once tried to keep a man out of his own house. All ' round athlete. Makes good on track and diamond. Varsity second baseman for four years. Fastest man on the team. Plays tennis like a fiend. First Lieutenant of the Band and Editor-in-Chief of Cyclops. Crawford Gurley, E. M. Special, Dahlonega, Ga. Known by his classmates as Lightning. He came into possession of tlie name while on a surveying trip. He was never known to do anything except when he had to. Is a man who Prof. Steiner loves so well he can ' t have band practice without him. Quarrels about his assay work but never fails when asked to do the work, is always on hand and ready. Never known to carry a book to school but always leads his classes. He resembles a tree that had been almost crowded out Ijy others, but pushes its way to the top where it receives some of the sunshine of life. Easily swayed but hard to break. Thus we find our friend and classmate Crawford. R. C. Gray, Special, Chattanooga, Tenn. In looking over the records of this class we find that the name of R. C. Gray appears on the college register at intervals since 1900. He is commonly known as Camel Gray. The ladies all take on to him at first sight but not before he becomes smitten with them. He is the most graceful fellow in school, — dances like a war-horse. One of the most energetic fellows in College. He was once a great society man, but has long since ceased to mingle with the fair dames. He is a great athletic student, though his athletic career has not been very successful. He is one of the rankest sergeants in the battallion ; however, he sometimes con- templates resigning his sergeant ' s place on account of his Class standing and the length of his service. Campbell Gray is often referred to as a man without a Class or Course. SENIOR CLASS POEM ' 09 Here ' s llic old cruiser ' Naii,t;lit -nine. X(iw at last she ' s crossed the line.

PROPHECY OF SENIOR CLASS T was a beautiful day in May, 19 ' 2. ). I had just completed my day ' s work and was quietly looking through my scant library. Very soon I came to a olume that attracted my attention at once, for it was a copy of niv college annual of i;h)!i. I ])icke(I it up with eagerness, for I had not seen it in several years. As I did ■-11 ni thiiughts ran Ijack to the happy days I spent in college. Many incidents and boyish pranks that hap- pened durmg college days came to my inind as fresh as if they were only yesterday. As I was slowly turn- ing the pages of the valued volume and looking at the pictures of my classmates, I began to wonder what had become of the members of the class of 19011. Had fortune favored them? ■ere they all living and happy? While I was thus again living over the past I heard a Itiud and distinct knocking on my tloor. At my response a messenger boy hurried into my room and handeil me a telegram. I hastily noted its contents. It was a request for me to be present at a call meeting of the officers of the National Agricultural Society in Washington. I glanced at my watch and saw that I had only forty-five minutes to catch the next train to Washington. I hustled about and arrived at the depot just in time to catch m train. As I took a seat I noticed some one a few seats in Irunt nf me reading a paper. Something about him seemed familiar and I began to try to recall where I had seen him. Just as the train pulled out of the car shed he turned his head to look out of the window. I recognized at once my friend and classmate, Carl Burnett. Of course I hastenetl to speak to him, and soon learned that he also was going to Washington for the same purpose. Since leaving college he traveled a year or two but finally settled in Snuth Georgia ami was now running a successful li e stock farm. ' hcn we reached Richmond, ' a., we were delayed se eral hours. ' e decided to take in the city, and soon learned that there was a very important murder case to be brought before the court that day. Xnt having anything to do we en- tered the court room. The judge arose and in his clear and solemn voice charged the jur_ -. As he did so Burnett and I looked at each other with asti)nishment, for we recognized him to be no other than Edd Cavender. After graduation he had gone to I ' niversity of ' irginia to study law. He was very successful in his profession and w as now judge of the Supe- rior Court. . s soon as the court adjourned, we hastened to speak to him. He had just visited nahlnnega the week before and he tokl us many interesting things about our classmates. B3num had gone back to his native county and had become a successful lawyer. McKee and X ' aughn had put up a large cUithing establishment and were now furnishing the students with up-to-date goods. Johnson was teaching school and was doing a great work educating the mountain people. Fred Cavender after making himsel ffamous Ijy building the railroad from Gaines ine to Dahlonega was then president of the Dahlonega Railroad and .Mining Co. Then I asked: AVhat has become of nur class President, Miss Fannie McGuire? Oh, he said with a smile and a twinkle in his eye, she taught music in the X. G. A. College after graduation, but as she had good reason to stop she only taught one year. We were compelled to leave our friend and catch the next train. After the meeting of the society adjourned we spent a day in the city. In the afternoon we visited the patent office. Our attention was called to a machine that had just heen invented and was attracting a great deal of attention. It was a device for crushing and separating mica. The inven- tors of this inacliine were W ' illingham and Whclchel who were now located in Chicago and doing an extensive business. We returned on a steamer by the way of Savannah and when we reached that city we met up with Charlie I ' liwer, who was there attending a bankers convention. We also met Roy Martin who was a traveling salesman for a J5arber Suj)- ply Co. We stopped at the same hotel and Mr. Martin gave us a great deal of information regarding the members of Senior Class. Davidson was in the hardware business, and also manager of a baseball team composed of his employees. Crawford Gurley was still pursuing his course at the N. G. A. College, and was hoping to graduate in June, (kay was still at Suwanee taking an engineering course. Akers went on the stage but soon gave that up and was now writing a love story. Nunnally had a good position at the experiment station. Bennett was running a large and successful farm in North Georgia. Duggan after receiving his degree in art learned that he had no talent along that line at all and was en- gaged in the mercantile business in co-operation with Mr. Dnrminy. I reached home the next day feeling greatly encouraged and rejoiced at the success of my classmates. May they continue to succeed and work for the upbuilding of all that is good.

Officers HISTORY OF JUNIOR CLASS I ' R Class lias made a more creditable record than that of IHlo. If the last stage nf cuir junriu-) he as succcss- fid (and hi cmild prophesy otherwise?) as those we lia e completed, eacli of ns will v] deserve to be crow 111(1 with laurels of ictory. To describe fully the career of this class wonld be lo lunch upon ever} ' phase of eolleL;e life of this period. I ' or dnrinL; this lime we have not onl nplield ihe repulation of ovir Alma Maler, bill ha e sensibl)- increased her fame. ImtsI on the roll ci}mes Tom Cavender, who is a ])ioneer member of the Class, he bavins formed one of thai company of I ' . ' s, who by their steady work and keen wit cut broad ])aths lhrouL;li the wilderness of ignorance to the hii hlands of knowledge. Mis all al)sorl)ing love is for music; he does not contnie his practicing to band hours and the silver - notes of his Imrn can be frei|nentlv heard on clear e enings. Terpshicore counts him one ol her most ardent admirers. He is accused of sometimes, in the enjoyment of the hour, forgetting that he who d.-inces has to pay the fiddler. . nother eteran memlier is 1 ' .. 11. I ' hillips, alias I ' la[). lie has a special fondness for the languages: his favorite is French, which he ]inrsues most diligently. The Agricultural Department is represented by Mr. Kent, ,ind most wurthily. He joined the ranks in l!Hi. i, and has ever stood as an examjile of duty conscientiously and faithiully ])erfonned. That same year Frances Stanton entered college and her career has been one of sustained brilliancy. Tn the fall w ' e feared that she was going to immediately adopt the profession of traineil nurse, but instead she decided to devote her time to the Dfimestic Arts. Cecil Xeal, who has been here since Freshman year is our talking machine. Me is ery I ' ond of arguing with some of the Profes.sors, and occasionally saves us from an unfortunate recitation. He is ery gallant and his favorite ex- pression is I thank you. T. S. ( )li ' er, better known as Reuben, hails from the land of llowers. He is an ardent admirer of the fair sex, and to shine in society is his ambition. He is an eloquent and passionate cjrator and has made himself famous for just one line, A woman is at the boUoni of it all. ' Along with [• ranees came another little maiden who li Ikt success in difterenl de|iartments makes one wnnder how one small head can carr all it knows. Her name is Lillian ( denn but she is generally s|iiiken ol as one of the twins. She is master of bonks and counts her compiests ) the score. Sophomore year is noted for the advent of Hal Dnmas and Julian Ellison. They have won many friends by their quiet gentlemanly demeanor, and ha e held their own in the search for knowledge. The real student of the class is E. C. ' andi ' iere. He has wim honors on the field and in the class rc)om. Prof. Vick- ery prefers his translations of the Latin writers to that of the best authorities. Another distinguished member of our class is Rosa McDonald. She has worked faithfully and well during the time that she has been with us, and is highly esteemed by her classmates. Last but not least is our honored president, Clark Ray. He was handicajiped in the lieginning by following the footsteps of an illustridus brother, Init he has successfully overcome all obstacles and is proving a worthy successor to the wonderful Bruce. He has guided our bark most skillfully this year and we expect great things of him. Our college course w-ill soon be finished. Only once more will our class history be written. ]May we drink deep of the Pierian Spring next year, so that when the final history of our Class shall appear, it will record even tnore glorious deeds and honors than any preceding. Historia.x. JUNIOR PROPHECY T was ill the month of September, 1912, that I was loiinpng one afternoon in the shade of a large Linden tree near the Pacific Coast. Two years before this time I had completed my college course and entered into ilie imilical ]iri fession. After having made several discoveries along the line of Pathology I was quietly taking a rest from my mental strain. 1 was peacefully passing the time away, thinking of my college days, my classmates, where they could be and what they could be doing. For 1 had not heard from any of them since our separation at Dahlonega in the summer of 1010. The deep blue sea on one side and the lieautiful shades of the falling autumn leaves on the other made the time and the place an inspiration to one whose brain liad been over-taxed from hard work and study. At last the sun was sinking beneatii the hills and the forest, aufl the time had come for me to return to my room for the night. Just as I rose to m ' feet to leave I heard the approach of someone coming up from behind; as I turned and looked I was greatly surprised to see my old friend and classmate, Mr. Dumas, who informed me that he was then in this city to attend a class reunion and that each member was to turn a sketch of his career since leaving college, to me for pub- lication. So it is now that 1 bring before you a short sketch of what they have been doing and what they intend to do in the future. Dumas. Since my graduation I have tried many things but have had very little success. I first tried the cowbfiy ' s life and then I tried railroad work but diil not like either of them. I am thinking now that I will get an appointment as photographer for an exploring jiarty, l)ut in case I do not, I intend to invent a postofifice mail box that will, when opened, eject the letter. Ellison. — I am a chemist and mechanic and have discovered quite a few things along this line, for instance how the lightning bug produces its light. 1 have almost invented perpetual motion. But the most difficult problem j ' et is for me to distinguish between an action and a reaction. Glenn, Miss Lillian. — I ' .etter known as Lill, informs us that she had a nundier of favorites in college, first of all art, second T atin and when she is not translating some Latin sentence she is displaying her talent in the art room. Lillian has many winning features and a sweet disposition which has won for her many friends, two of whom are very dear ones and she has been puzzled ver}- nuich as to whether the successful one will be the first baseman on the college team or the manager of the college aimual. After comparing the size of the two, however, we are inclined to think that it will be a better match for it to be the latter. Cdenn, Miss Louise. — My school days did not end at Dahlonega. ' hen I was through school there my father insisted that I go to Oberlin. At first I was not impressed very much with going to school any more, but was finally persuaded to do so. I liked the college very much and finished my course only a year ago. I was requested upon my graduation to take a position as music teacher, so I am now teaching music at Oberlin College. Kent. — When 1 was through school I lost no time in getting an appointment in the U. S. Army; you all know that I am ery fund of military any way. I was immediately sent to the Philippines and have just served my two years there and gotten liack to the States. I will not attempt to tell ynu my career as a solilier. InU when asekd was I t oing- back I answered Xdt et. l)Ut never. Xeal. — This is 1)1 ic same as ever. I was for a time since mv graduation pitcher of tlie I!. I ' . M. l aseball team. I ' .ut am now engaged in the practice of medicine. I ha e had a frightful experience along this line, I have had charge of a large hospital for some time and I must say that the out-come was worse than the Siege of ' l rii -. I supi ise that it is not necessary for me tii say that it was l)est fur me to lea e. Oliver. — Well I am glad to tell you that I have succeeded in i etting an excellent jnl), f am president of one of the largest female colleges in the South. ( )f course I have some idle time which 1 spend in writing. My latest book, en- titled, Disadvantage of Flirting, will soon be out. I ' hillips. — Xo doul)t you ha -e heard of my career as a Statesman before now, 1 haxe been in pulitics since my grad- uatiiHi. and ha ' e fieen ccmfronted by many diificult prublems which 1 have sohed somehow. I think that 1 will soon make known m_ - sentiments in regard to the I rotective Tariff. I ' mbablx- in the furm nf a pamphlet. I ' iay. — 1 have been engaged in teaching most of the time since 1 graduated, although 1 have been in bad health must of the time. 1 have a secret to tell you ; that is, I am engaged to be married to the fat lady, I would not have you tell this as she may change her mind at any time. Stanton, Miss Frances. — Since our deyiarture at Dahlonega I have been traveling in Europe with my muther. We spent several months in Paris, and while there 1 thought very seriously of going on the stage, but as I had almost aban- doned my nuisic since my graduation, and knew that it would take (|uite a bit of ])ractice to sing even as well as I had at one time, I ga e it up entirely, and my mind was once more turned to the dear old X. G. A. C. I am at home now and before 1 forget to tell you, I am engaged to be married next June. ' andiviere, — ' hat 1 have always preached has demonstrated itself in my case, ' ou know that I never lielieved an education would do a man any good, and the quinsequenses are that 1 never did very much good in college, however I am now teaching and get forty-five dollars per month, (the janitor gets fifty).

CLASS POEM I sit tonight and try tn write A poem, a poem full of praise Of Freshman Class; and last These dear old College days. Our Classmates are surely great On the Athletic field ; At recitation — sometimes late. But never so at meals. They eat and eat — they ' re hard to beat ; And it can ' t be done by anyone In this place — a learned seat Of Mutts and Wampuses and Bums. We draw towards the end of the year And pleasant visions fill our eyes. But can we restrain a tear ' hen we think hnw time flies? Flown like a bird nn the wing: And as I sit alone in my room. For you, my Class, let me sing, Tho ' all is gloom. The days that are passing fast Are so full i:)f pleasures, so full of pain. I shall long until at last I greet mv Classmates once again. There may be a Class above us. But it ' s only so in name ; For that we don ' t care a cuss. But lead things just the same. And in tlir year that must pass We ' ll recall w itli a smile of delight.

College at Dahlonega. I had heard much of the fame of the little mountain town and was all eagerness to see with my own eyes its smiling face nestling at the foot of the Blue Ridge. It was late when oiu ' hack rcache l the Dormitory where we were greeted by its presiding genius who gave us a gruff but hearty welcome. I had already begun to quake in my boots, for my companions, some of the old boys, beguiled the trip by telling the new boys of the terrors and delights(?) of dormitory life, especially those of the first Saturday night after school opened. The next morning I tremblingly presented myself to the various Professors for classification. I was assigned to B class. My spirits rose perceptibly when I saw that I was not alone, but one of a numerous and goodly company. Since that memorable day, from time to time, our ranks ha e been reinforced, and we feel confident that no class in College is more unanimous in thouglit and feeling or has brighter inspirations. ' e made a good beginning by selecting right as our leader and under his guidance we have trod the straight and narrt)w path which leads to the happy land of A-dom. Among our number are budding poets, artists, financiers, and others who will some day startle tlie world with their genius. Xo doubt in the fullness of time the lieauties of Arithmetic, English Grammar, Latin, Tactics, Extra Duty, and kindred subjects will be fully revealed to us and we will long for these bounties once sparingly tasted. However we are well content that this stage of the journey is drawing to a close and it will be with happy recollections of the past and joyous anticipations of the future that we will begin our second year ' s march on the royal (?) road to learning.

ODE TO N. G. A. C. Fair Alma Mater, from thy classic halls, A host of eager men and women haste To launch their barks upon the water ' s waste. And tempt what fortune in life ' s voyage falls; The course of some who lea e thy sheltering walls By favoring wintls, by summer skies is graced ; Far more, amid high seas, dense fogs, are placed. Where threat of wreck, or rocky coast appalls, But as the lighthouse sends it ' s cheering ray, In storm, or calm, across the treacherous lake, Guitling the sailor, till the night is past. So tloth thy star of learning, point the way Each wandering child of thine must boldly take To reach the ha en of success at last. — M. M. TRANSLATION FROM HORACE Odk VI, Book I. To Leuconoe Inquire not, Leuconoe, how long a span Of life the gods have granted you or me. Nor through the seers of Chaldea seek to see What fate has concealed from the eyes of man. ] Iuch better it is from cares to be free; Bear whate ' er comes to us as best we can, Miether or no Jove gives us long this land. ' here break the waves of the Etruscan sea. Be wise, drink deep, count not on tomorrow, For such is tlie shortness of earthlv life; While we are talking envious age flees. Now come, be gay. let ' s no troubles borrow. The present day seize with its joy and strife, Accept calmh ' what fate the gods may please. — Fannie M. McGuire. SOCIAL HAPPENINGS, 1908- ' 09 XE of the first social events of the fall was the rece|)tii)ii tendered by the colleg-e girls to the boys of A and D classes. The Decora Society kindly lent their hall for the occasion and it lookec very inviting in Several interesting contests were engaged in and the refreshments (always a ;i matter of interest to college boys) were delicious and bonntifnl. Many were the expressions of pleasure its dress of autumn leaves, a matter of interest to colic and ajipreciateion that were heard, as regretfully the guests took their dejiarture. =t: : Hi ' js 5f; i|.- :{: }: The event of the fall was the annual visit of the geology class from Urenau College. Their visits are always gala occasions eagerly looked forward to, thoroughly enjoyed, and furnishing many sweet memories for the succeeding weeks. The visitors were gi en a reception by the college boys assisted by the girls. The old Club House never presented a more attracti e scene than on that evening when its gayly decorated halls echoed to the music of soft voices and sweet laughter |ninctuated at intervals by deeper tones. The visitors were cordially welcomed by the trus- tees and faculty and their wives who introduced to them the boys. These visits from our sister institution are welding strong links in our chain of friendship, and we sincerely hope that these Rrenau angels will flit across our horizon at least once a year. A cordial welcome is always awaiting them. For weeks Hallow ' en night was looked forward to with intense interest. It had been whispered abroad that the ghosts were to hold high carnival on that night. The college boys were invited to the Club House where the o-irls and the ghosts awaited them. As each guest entered he was compelled to make the acquaintance of the Spirit of Ghosts before being allowed to join in the festivities. Jack O ' lanterns winked from every corner and gave a sinister ap|)earance to the black cats, ghosts, and witches which guarded each corner of the halls. Fate was tempted in many ingenious ways and all were allowed a glimpse into the future. Appropriate refreshments were served during the evening, and there was a continual flow of witches ' broth brewed in a pumpkin and drunk from gourds. When taps sounded reluctantly the guests departed each praising the hospitality of the young ladies who had so happily carried out the promptings of the Phantoms. There are .so many attractive places of interest near Dahlonega that frequently during the spring merry parties seek surcease from toil by sallying forth into the woods to study nature from nature ' s books. The fraternities have at different times during the year thrown open their doors and entertained guests verv charm- ingly. During Commencement between each exercise there is crowded some gaiety, and the week goes by in a whirl nf pleas- ure. Many attractive guests, mothers, sisters, and cousins lend interest to the occasion by their presence. A tinge of sadness is added when the goodbyes are said and our college community separates for the sunnner, some to return no more, others to enjoy a pleasant and profitable vacation.
