I Q a I 1' IS with a sense of mingled uneasiness and pleasuie that 'WEN few hopes have been leahzed many fond ambitions ave perished, many promising plans have neither floweled noi fruited, and we alone console ourselves that, in consideration of the extreme financial conditions, we have been able to place this Annual in the hands of the students without materially altering its size and quality. Of necessity, a few artistic touches and uartificialitiesv had to be omitted, but every omission has been conscientiously debated and only permitted to avoid embarrassment. I we present this, our 1915 issue of the Roentgen Rays. A It is hardly p1'obable that the reader will pause to consider the vastness of such an undertaking, or the neglected class work, and the long, but interesting, hours we have spent over our work. Though cherished purposes have been thwarted, our experience has been both pleasant and profitable, and we therefore present without apology the results of our labors. . We hope that the 1915 Roentgen Rays will afford durable pleas- ure to both undergraduates and graduates, for if it shall meet the traditional aim, it must -be a pleasant and lasting memento of 1915 in Roanoke's life. To attain this end we have earnestly endeavored to depict college life in all its phases and activities as vividly as possi- ble, and we now co1n1nit our work to your criticism.

To have been president of the class of '15 for three successive years is a record of which Jim may well feel proud. By his modesty, wit, and pleasing personality he has become a most popular man in college circles. Is the steadiest and most persistent lover in the class. In order to overcome a disadvantage under which he labored for three years, Jim finally joined the German Club, and now he copes with his rivals to better advantage. - l Takes special delight in scalding his devoted instructors, but is careful never to ingure them seriously. Of studies took he most care and most heede, Noght a word spak he more than was neede. Jim will study medicine. In this profession his steady nerves, cool head, and natural poise will be invaluable. We prophesy for him a successful career, and trust that perseverance, fate, and Dan Cupid will win for him his heart's desire. 22 ' IN IIiIlfi I! lE5 .i5iiiiiII Ili lfi illiiill fiili ll GEORGE HENDERLITE WYSE, Staunton Solomon Entered College in 1912 from Staunton High School.

Regardless of a y in his name and strenuous protests was re-named after, the original wise man of the East. Solomon is a shark when it comes to pulling down high ones but was never known to grind. Is entrusted with a large amount ,of extra-curriculum work and when he can find time, studies for recreation. Would rather go to one of HJ. B.'s classes than read Paradise Lost. Won fame in his senior year by appearing before the High Court of Les Infallibles and securing the recall ,of an edict of excommunication against three Sophs. Is a good philosopher, an admirer of all things feminine, has frequently been pursued by Cupid, and sometimes takes to. the Woo-forest. A better all round fellow would be hard to find. Will study Law. What it takes to do it we're broken out with it. 23 Iliiililllilili llliiiil Iliillllfiii iilliifiilii l CHARLES ADOLPHUS L1NN Rockwell, N.

A., '14, President Tar Heel Club, '15, President Glee Club, '15, Debate Council, '14, '15, Class Football Team, '12-'15, Class Secretary. Ever since his advent into college life, Charles Adolphus has been chiefly noted for his sporting proclivities and musical talents. Confined his attentions at first to local belles, but since the departure of certain maiden to the wild and woolly little village of St. Louis he has withdrawn from society, and become a regular caller-at the postoflice. Charles has a weakness for philosophy, and when permitted, will discuss the philosophic aspects of the girl question into the wee small hours. Caruso has a fine bass voice which is highly appreciated by all ex- cept the unfortunate denizens of the first section. I-Ie has a peculiar habit of singing while taking the shower and performing his morning ablutions. Is somewhat in- lmlined to procrastinate, but gets there just the same. By his untiring eiforts as Business Manager, he contributed largely to the success of the 1914 Roentgen Rays. Chas takes an active part in college activities, particularly in things musical and religious. Is a man of strong convictions and steady purpose. We predict for him a most successful career in the Lutheran ministry. 24 p IIiElfi!lIE3E!!lEi!EiEliiiilI Illiliiilfiiilliiiliii EEEEEII VIRGIL WARREN DOUB Middletown, Md. l1Bi11y!Y E Entered College in 1912 from Middletown High School.

He joins everything musical, reads oratorios like chemistry lessons, and grinds out sonatas as calmly and methodically as a personified music box. As a lover he is interesting Does not consider himself decently in love unless he holds the affections of at least three girls. But notwithstanding his musical and social ahiliations, Billy is a Very practical methodical and energetic student. He expects to do special work in chemistry at. Johns Hopkins. In his chosen field, commercial chemistry, unusual success awaits him. 25 I EEIE I EEEZIEE EEZEEIII IIEElE!!fiE!IliEE!!ii i!E5II BENDER BALTHIS KNEISLEY Strasburg Buffalo Bender HRH Entered Roanoke College in 1911 from Strasburg High School.

Ever hear a full base voice break loose in a bunch of warblers on the campus at night? And you set your water bucket down and stopped, wondering whether they were in range, and just listened? Well, that belongs to Kneisley. Incidentally, said voice emanates from some six feet two 0' man, good natured and handsome. His eyes twynkled in his head aryght As doon the sterres in the frosty nyghtf' The fact that he early enlisted with Stumpy and has never broken step proves his ability as a stude. Has never got a below grade but thought he had struck a mine when he came in contact with Cosine's trig. Is one of the most popular men in College, enjoys a good joke, tells good yarns, and is always pulling a new one. Ad- mires the Salem lasses and is a fusser of no mean ability. His queen, however, dwells in the land of his nativity, 'mid the green iields of Virginia, in the Vale of Shenan- doah. Will study Pharmacy.

Verily precious things come in small packages! Leo is a man of such varied accomplishments that one scarcely knows where to begin their recital. During a brief but busy career, he has assiduously courted the muses of poetry, music, oratory, and dancing, and has been caught flirting with most of their sisters. An eloquent pillar of the Ciceronian Society and supporter of college activities in general. Is best known perhaps as the inspiring drummer of the orchestra. Stump was Editor-in-Chief of the '14 Roentgen Rays, one of the best annuals ever got out by the college. To crown the list of his achievements, we need only mention that it is to his artistic taste that the Seniors owe the selection of their now classic canes. In whatever field awaits him, We feel certain his genuine ability and worth of character will win success. 27 s IN Iliiiiill ii iliilllfl iiil lliiliillflilIliiilliiiiilifll 'V - --- ' EVERET BURNETTE BONHAM Chilhowie Miles uR:: Entered College from Chilhowie High School in 1911.

Although a conscientious student, he has never let books interfere with his education. Has un- limited pep and infused life and ginger into every team he ever generaled. Has passed four successful college years, and goes out with a great athletic record and the high esteem of his fellow students. Miles has always been a bulwark of strength for the best in college life, even at the expense of momentary popularity. He remained immune to Cupid's darts until his junior year when he surrendered unresistingly, When not otherwise engaged may often be seen drifting towards the Woman's College, and on calling nights is always among those present. Miles ' great hobby is agriculture, and we predict that soon he' will take this lady of his choice, and become as great a farmer as he has been a college man. 28 ' IX IIiiiIi!IlEEE!!IE5!llfiiilill IliillilfiiiIIiEE!5iiEii!EEII .

Made his debut into society when a 'irat, and immediately became famous as a lover. On several occasions this Weakness for the fair sex has come near wrecking Kuh's ship of knowledge. When in a retrospective and philosophical mood he is wont to quote from Thomas Moore: . The time I've lost in wooing, In watching and pursuing The light that lies In woman's eyes, Has been my heart's undoing. As a member of the Glee Club HJ. C. is one of those who render the nights hideous with howling-and call it music. In addition to his other activities he has made good as a gridiron warrior. Jim Cow says he will be a sky pilot, but we predict that early matrimony and theudelights of rural life will cause him to change his mind, and become a country Squire. 29 , IX Iliiifillli Zliiliiffiiiiillllf V QQIIIIEEHEIEIQE II EE! iiliill J AMES WRIGHT CAMPBELL Strasburg Jimmie Entered College from Strasburg High School 1912.

Jimmie is short of statue, light haired, and-Scotch-Irish. Distinguished himf self in his rat year by turning upon a too zealous persecutor and peeling him one under the chin. Is not a grind but has enormous capacity for work, both inside and outside the curriculum. James is not a swearing man, but-don't mention trig to him. Although of a high-strung, nervous disposition, he has perfect self-control, and is as steady as a clock in an emergency. Possesses marked literary ability, but has not alyvays been careful to impress Jingles with this fact. Reads Civilization lectures in English class and studies literature in his room. This versatile youth is somewhat of an artist, a skillful stenographer, and the fastest typist in College. Ability as a writer and keen literary judgment fit him for a journalistic career, upon which we predict he will enter after taking his A.M. at Princeton. 30 IX IliilfilIliiiliiiilllfliiiill II!ElE!!fiEl iEE!5iiEi EEII V 'Xfl' a .

The last is his chief characteristic. Sleepy ' is likely to dose off in chapel, class, or any other suitable place. Commits this ofense with astonishing regularity in English class. In spite of this failing Webster is one of our hardest and most consistent students. Never Hunked but once in his whole college career, when he got seventy-four in English. Sleepy is strong in math and the sciences. When not in class is pretty sure to be found among the chemists and doctors performing experiments in Hell's Kitchen. He has not definitely decided upon his vocation, but it is probable that he will become a specialist in industrial chemistry. 31 XX IlillfiilI!5E!!lEi!llZliIlilllIfQ Qllllliililllfliilliiilliifiiliill 6 1 gf' W ' RANDOLPH CASKIE COLEMAN Roanoke Entered College from Roanoke High School.

He enjoys the double distinction of not only being the youngest, but also of being the leader of his class in scholarship. :The most exacting demands of the class room have never been beyond him and, most to his credit, his grades result from more than book sense. That light and sparkle in his eyes cannot be mistaken, true wit, understanding, and intelligence shine through them. A fluent speaker, an excellent conversationalist, and an aifable companion. None too energetic in work outside the curriculum, but crazy about girls and dancing. His ability is unquestioned. No matter how crowded the legal profession may be, Coleman is sure to win his Way to the first rank when he enters the field. 32 , ' , 1, i'X Iliiili lliiililiillifiiiiiil II E IISEE E H EEEEII ZEDOC FRANKLIN CRAFT Newcastle I Stemmie HRH Entered College from Newcastle High School in 1912.

Stemmie is known chiefly through his performance on the baseball diamond. Is death on Hies, and a hitter of no mean ability. Has a quaint habit of ending every discussion with the expres- sion, and that's about all there are to it. I Stemmie has a hopeless case of heart trouble. Is somewhat reticent as to his future plans, but we predict for him the life of a prosperous farmer. 33 Iliiifil liiililiiliiiliiii Iliiilgilliiillliiill iii EEII .

Charlie descended upon this peaceful hamlet in the fall of 1911. Unlike UD most of the representatives from his native land of milk, honey, and blue grass, he early showed a marked tendency to save the midnight oil. Notwithstanding this aversion Bo the pursuit of knowledge, he can bone like ye old timer when it comes to a pinc . Besides his numerous other activities, Charlie has always managed to find time for the Orchestra and Glee Club. A more devoted member of the German Club is yet to be discovered. He is often seen catching the car for the neighboring village. This fact together with other even stronger evidence has led many to believe that his heart's right there. Although not a member of any of the varsity teams Charlie is somewhat of an athlete, plays in all the class games, is a crack tennis player, a good swimmer, and a hunter of local fame. Much study is a weariness to the flesh. 34 I 1X Iliiifillliia iifilliiliiiill IIEillilfiiilliiiliiifiiliill 'XI' -- SEWARD WILLIAM HIRTLE Dartmouth, N. S. .

The class of '15 has the distinction of numbering among its members this dis- tinguished gentleman from Canada. A solid foundation secured by four years of teaching in the uwilds of Nova Scotia has stood him in good stead during his college career. Dr. Fox is his special favorite, and in his class room Doc stars on all occasions.. As a forceful speaker he has won distinction in debate. His eloquence, to- gether with that Platonic frown, and turtle-like snap of the jaws is sure to get 'em. In his junior year Doc was a great sport, but since the departure of the last co-ed he has led the solitary life of a hermit. After graduation he will enter a theological seminary. His eloquence and wealth of allusion will no doubt win him wide recognition in his calling. 35 IX Y IIiiifiilIEEE!ZiEE!liEiiiiiIlIIIQ QllllliiliiifiiilIiZE!!iiEii!EEII .

French, otherwise known as Jersey, came to us in 1911 from the bad-lands of Southwest Virginia. Just how he came to receive the appellation of Jersey is still a matter of speculation. Is aggressive to the last degree, and possesses a rather generaus supply of natural perversity. Believes in meting out speedy punishment to refractory rats, A As a student he shows the same determination and will power that distinguish him in athletics. Is far from being a grind, but is methodical and systematic in all his work. Has unusual power of concentration. His skill in repartee has won him the reputation of being the wittiest man in his class. French has not made public his-plans for the future, but it is probable that he will elect a business career, to which his talents are eminently adapted. 36 1X Iliiifi!II!3E!!Iii!ii5!iiiiII IIEEE!ifiiilliiiliiifiiliill , -N, . - RAYMOND ROBERT KILLINGER Rural Retreat Ray, Pelzer.

Is always alert, and very much alive to what is going on around him. Science is his hobby. Ray is a shark in chemistry and biology. Has been extraordi- narily successful as assistant persecutor in the chemical laboratory. Unlike scientists generally, he detests mathematics. Waxes eloquent on the sub- ject of Latin, calling it a Hnucleated mass of concentrated fooleryf' On account of his frequent references to this, his favorite UD study, he is known as Pelzer. This busy youth seldom fusses with the girls of Salem, but is known to carry on a rather extensive correspondence. Ray is undecided whether to teach, or become a saw-bone, but we predict that after a course at Johns Hopkins he will become a successful practitioner. 37 IIiiE'iZi!II!EE!! i!l fiiiiiI II!ElE!! iiilIiE !iiEii!EElI WILLIAM ELBERT KILLINGER Rural Retreat 5lBi11!7 HRH Entered Roanoke College from Rural Retreat High School in 1912.

In every phase of college life he has taken an active part, but has never allowed one to have ascendency over the others. His dignity in the class room as well as his energetic rooting on the sidelines has won him distinction: Is a tower of strength on the gridiron, Math is one of his strong points, he being one of the two or three '15 men to get beyond trig.

There were no sea captains present so we made bold to dub Ohmer the Commodore, His serious ex- pression is more often the result of concern over outside business than worry over his studies. Has an unlimited store of information concerning everything and every- body in town. Ohmer is a hard student of ways and means to avoid studying. Reads the paragraph titles in the text-books and relies on his vivid imagination for the rest. Always gets by with a safe margin notwithstanding. We believe Commodore is looking forward to a business career. It is rumored that he aspires to the mayoralty of Newcastleg if such is the case the chances are that he will get it. 41 1X lliiiiil I!EE!!!E5!El5!iiiill Iliiliil iiilliii iiifiilifll GEORGE MYRTON RAINS Venter k llJOSh77 Entered College in 1911 from Washington and Henry Academy Ciceronian' Im- provement 1n Debate Medal, '13g Debate Council, '15, President Intercollegiate ,Ora- torical Association, '15g Class Baseball, '14g Afl'irmative,Debater C.

By his unreserved frankness and sincerity and a happy social turn Strick has won a place in the hearts of his fellows and in many tenderer hearts. Although very conservative about parting with his own ideas, is always open to conviction. Strick's studious bent has an occasional reaction in the form of a rough?house that threatens the safety of those below. Always joins every musical organization in College. When a rat, this intrepid youth distinguished himself by persistently sporting' despite the mandates of the powers that be. Used to read Greek dramas, but has recently been converted to love lyrics. There's a reason. Strick will teach a year or two before entering the seminary. For a ministerial career his talents augur well. 44 i ZX lliiifiillfi iliiliifiiiiill Iliiiilllfiiilliiili EEEEEEEII J OHN EDGAR WALTERS, JR. Salem Frog Eye, Count, Assistant Coach .

Count is a good literary society worker and is note' in the class room for consistent work, but has occasional reverses in reading German under' Dr. Klose. Frog Eye, after studying the technicalities of football from the sidelines and after having held the position of assistant coach for three seasons. tried out for the Varsity in his senior year and no doubt would have been a gridiron star had not complications arisen. For the first three years of the Count's incarceration in Col- lege he was unsophisticated in the Ways of society, but the last year has wrought a marvelous' change in him and now he spends-half his time with the fair sex at R.

His experiences as assistant coach and in social activities should be a great aid to him in attaining to his highest ambition of becoming athletic coach in some woman's college. 0 45 1X lIiEiIi!IIE3E!!iii!Ei!i!iII IIEEE!!fiEilIiEE!5iiEii!EEII Q .

Got away with a first distinction in his sophomore year, and would have scored a similar triumph the following year but for an unfortunate destaste for prosaic labora- tory work. Never fails to give an entirely satisfactory and specific response when called upon in English. P, T. claims to be an anthority on all college sports but like Wee Rat Klose, knows only the technicalities of the game. His natural element is the class room.

After having been away from Boston headquarters nearly two weeks, I came to a little town in Virginia-Newcastle. I visited the drug store, there being only one, and managed after strenuous efforts to persuade the proprietor to place A. D. C. goods upon his shelves. I was surprised upon coming out of the pharmacy at seeing a large sign upon a building just opposite. It read thus: Craft and Ohmer, Dealers in General Merchandise and Country Produce. Just below was a little sign- VVe Sell Gasoline. I went over and gave old Stem1nie a hand-shake and while talking over old times Commodore came in and we spent a jolly ten minutes conversing. I Several weeks afterward found me down in the great Southwest QS. W. Vir- giniaj-in the Chilhowie neighborhood. I was driving along in the country and happened to come upon quite a number of little kiddies, ranging perhaps from three to twelve. They were playing in the sand right in the middle of the road and of course I had to stop my horse to avoid running over them, for they did not pretend to get out of the way. 'Lo, Mister, said several. Whose boys are you? I asked of the oldest one. Mr, Everett Bonham's, he said. And those otherboys and girls F They're his, too, he replied. I could scarcely believe my e-yes. Father came up just as I was getting ready to leave and Miles,' and I engaged in a long conversation about the days of yore. ' It was a considerable time before I inet any more of my former classmates. I was now in Kentucky, near Lexington. Driving along the road I heard a voice which was unmistakably that of Jersey Honaker. I-Ie was in a violent altercation with Sueno Sleepy Carpenter, for Sleepy had let his herd of snails trespass upon his bull pasture. Near these two gentlemen was R. R. Killinger, D.V.S., slicing a wart off one of Jersey's bulls. Being in Lexington that same night I thought I would look up Jimmy,' Camp- bell, whom I heard had a position in the city. As luck would have it, I met him in the lobby of the hotel and we had a lively reunion. VVhat amused me, though, was that f'Jimmy told me he was teaching trigonometry in the State Insane Asylum. On my return trip I made several towns in West Virginia-only the larger ones. But I saw no one whom I knew. Coming to Roanoke- some time later in the afternoon, I made my way to the Ponce de Leon Hotel. At the corner of Jefferson Street and Salem Avenue the Salvation Army was holding a meeting. The speaker was very loud and I could hear his voice plainly. I knew it at once. It was none other than that of my old frend Bill Shawver. I got no chance to speak to him, so passed on up to the Ponce, where I put up for the night. On my way over to 47 IX IIiEiIi!IIE3E!!!f5!Ei5iiiiiiI lIEEi!fi!lfiE!IIEEE!! E EEII , 'l -V4 . . Salem the next morning I read the Roanoke Times. While reading the sporting sheet I was interested to see an account of I rogeye Walters being chosen head coach in football at Cornell. The account went on to say that he had come to Cor- nell highly recommended by Roanoke College, at which place he had been assistant coach for several years. He had also some experience in the Radford High School. As soon as I arrived in Salem I took a straight course to my Alma Mater. I met Solomon VVyse coming down the walk and we greeted each other with a warm hand-shake. Solomon,' was by this time devoid of hair and his head was bald. that shone as 'any glass. He, was wearing a beard not unlike that of his predecessor, Prof. Jingles I told Solomon to be sure and purchase a bottle of A. D. C. celebrated Hair Vigor and his hair would surely come out if only he would follow the directions. I-Ienderliten assured me he would do so with great avidityf' After leaving Solomon,' I called at the residence of Seward W. Hirtle, Pl1.D., who now held the Chair of Moral Philosophy. From all accounts he was a worthy successor of the distinguished Dr. Fox. I found Doc crippled up with the rheu- matism, althoughvable to talk. He gave me his consent to let me apply some of the famous A. D. C. Balsam on his joints, for I was sure it would help him. During the act of Ubalsamihcationn I asked Doc about several of our school friends. l learned that Josh Rains' was the leading physician in Vintong Bill Killinger, he told me, had established a reputation as the best criminal lawyer in Southwest Virginiag Jimmie Davis was now an M.D., and in partnership with Jim Lyerly, the undertakerg Charlie Gose was still 'on the farm in Burkeis Gardeng Cow Brown was now a Methodist parson of some note, serving the Salem congregationg P. T. Wright had lately succe-eded the Bentztown Bard of the Baltimore Sun. Much to my surprise Randolph Coleman had just been given a seat on the Supreme B ench. . During the same day I called on other friends in Salem and that night went to the Silent Players. Looking down in the orchestra I recognized two of my former classmates. Billy Doub was sawing his violin with much enthusiasm and Stump Denit was ably handling the percussion. One act of vaudeville was booked for the night. When the curtain went up whom should I see come onto the stage but Strick and Charlie Linn. They made a big hit with their act, which consisted of singing and dancing interspersed with good jokes. A week later found me at my home in northern Virginia, where I spent several days. One morning While looking over the Shenandoah Valley, the New Market weekly, my eyes fell upon the likeness of Sheep Moore. I had recognized him in spite of his mustache. Just beside the picture were these Words heading a'col- umn: 'Raus mit 'em-Mayor Moore Says City Must Be Cleaned of Robbers, Gamblers and Chicken Thieves. The next week found me on my way northward selling the goods of the A. D. C., the company that had a remedy for each and every human ill. ' B. B.

Each year since its entrance to college in September, 1912, has fE?ffQ the class distinguished itself in athletics. VVe cannot linger lo speak of the earlier years but let it suffice to say that during the session of 1913-141, the class established an unprecedented record by gaining the championship in the three major college sports. At the beginning of the present session the class maintained its standard when the championship game of football resulted in a vic- tory for the Juniors, defeating the Sophomores 6 to 0. In basket ball the Juniors defeated the Seniors, but Went down before the Fresh- men by a close score. As for baseball, all We can do is to predict a victory. While this unusual standard in athletics has been kept, it can barely compete with and at no time has surpassed the standard up- held in scholarship. In our study we have exhibited the game daunt- less spirit and determination, Recognizing the true aim of college life, We have pursued it, our athletics serving to make our Work more interesting and beneficial. Three years of our career have almost passed and now We are standing on the threshold, enwrapped in our various victories, pre- paring to don the cap and gown of dignity.

This time they occupied the coveted station of Sophomore-s. Together with the dignity of this station, they assumed its responsibilities. Consequently, in accordance with the time-honored custom, the tennis courts were cleaned' by the rats. The class, however, undertook other even more progressive measures than this. The informal reception given to the student body in honor of the rats is' an im- portant example. Bearing in mind the fact that a Hrati' is fond of peanuts and that he is apt to slight his appetite at a table where there are Sophomores, it was thought wise by the class to relieve their hunger and at the same time their imagination of what Sophomores were by giving an informal reception, otherwise known as a pea- nut reception. In accordance with this plan the Sophomore' Class gathered in front of the dormitory. At the signal-in the words of the poet: You heard as if an army muttered, And the muttering grew to a grumbling, And the grumbling grew to a mighty rumbling, And out of the houses the rats came tumbling. Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats, Brown rats, blue rats, green rats, tawny rats, V Grave old plodders, gay young friskers-. Everybody had a good time. Also another profitable result of the occasion was the organization of the student body. As the year advanced we found among the new men of our class valuable re- cruits not only for academic work but also for musical, athletic, and other activities of the college. Our class furnished her full share of the athletic glory of the college. Half- back 'Hoffman and Quarterback Bunting are brilliant examples. 'ln class football we were by no means delinquent. After a hard encounter with the rats, we got away with a score of 6 to 0. The next and final rival for the championship was the Junior Class. Quarter after quarter the two teams plied up and down the slippery field. The Junior line gave way to the onslaught of the Sophs,,' but gains through the Junior backfield were difficult in the mud. Finally, near the end of the game, by a lucky pass the victory fell to the Juniors by a score of 7 to O. V Believing, as we do, in the evidences of our class's athletic ability, we are looking forward hopefully to the contests in basket ball and baseball. 62 at S HMA ?, P. 'L ' ' A f 'fg1aQ. ' T i ?

Like starting a steam car, the dead lift comes at the beginning. It take less steam when the wheels are once in motion. Be patient when 552361 you start your inexperienced journey of a college life. So, my dear mother, Cosmopolitan, kindly advised me when I left her sweet bosom. Vifith a bit of tmidity, yet with the strong determination to make myself a man, I arrived fresh at the Roanoke campus. Rat! Rat! So all students screamed around me, but I could not see even the shadow of a small creature. My innocent face was flushed, however, when I was told that Rat was an honorable title added to 1ny noble name, Black Gold Freshman. The Hrst friend I met was Mr. .Iovial Sophomore. For his too kind guidance and paternal advice I thanked God with my tearful heart. Together with Messrs. Excellent Junior and Thoughtful Senior, he gave me a peanut-reception. The un- written law was also given by him. Of every tree of college life thou mayest freely eatg but of the tree of beauty, called R. VV. C., thou shalt not eat, for in the night that thou eatest thereof thy trunk shall not be unmoved from thy room. Hereby, I had for a while indulged the inclination so natural in every young man. But one evening secretly I entered into the garden where the tree of beauty stands, and immediately my trunk was carried away by the mysterious being. Of course, .Iovial knew nothing of that ghost. The unquenchable thirst for learning gained me a good reputation' in the class- room. EXcellent beginning. So Doc Morehead remarked in his report to my home. Keenly I realized that greatness never comes to a person for the wishing, or the hoping, or the believing that it will come. Serious determination to succeed and untiring industry, which are my striking characteristics, are the parents of good luck. Though my path may not be strewn with roses, and in the strife my heart should bleed, I will never flag until I have drunk deeply at the fountain of knowledge. I :nn not by any means a book-worm. My well-developed muscles and skill I exhibited in athletics. In a football game with Mr. Sophomore I was defeated with the score of 6 to 0. But in basket ball I outclasscd my good friend with the score of 60 to 11, and after defeating by the score of EM to 18 Mr. Excellent Junior, who held the championship last year, the glorious crown was placed upon my head. This ends the first chapter of my autobiography. I am not the man of the pastg I :nn living very much in the future. I dream and scheme :ind live fresh in tllff of IIOPC.

He every day was told anew Of things a Freshman should not do. The profs, he thought, were uninclined To grapple with a Freshman's mind. They spoke in figures new and strange Which seemed beyond his mental range. A homesick wave swept o'er his heart Which he was sure would not depart, And life seemed queer and dull and blue He really knew not what to do. The Sophs, he found, were wondrous wise, They made him work and told him lies: But after sorrows oft came joys For he was numbered with the boys. Then he must cram, and cram, and cram, To scramble through his first exams, That ordeal passed, he cast his eye ' Upon a fair face passing by. And then, to make the story short, He ventured forth and learned But, having tried the gentle art - Decided not to lose his heart. to sport, When spring came, strange as it may seem, He made the college baseball team, A home run in a crucial game Exalted him straightway to fame. This youth was modest and 'twas said He did not let it turn his head. Commencement came, his woes were o'er, Behold! He was a SOPHOMORE. 74 I C. F.

The Waste of sand and brown rock radiated the heat in shimmering waves. Hot breaths like scorching blasts from a mighty furnace raised puffs of yellow dust. The very atmosphere seemed to quiver with some mysterious power. Even the hard stunted growth which through the long ages had adapted themselves to the conditions of the desert, seemed to shrink from the searching heat. Onover the slipping sand the two men wearily plodded. The naturalist had come to the desert in search of a certain rare insect which might be found at the isolated waterholes. His friend, the geologist, had accompanied him both for the novelty of the trip and that he might study the bed of the ancient sea. Foolishly enough they had undertaken the trip without a guide, the naturalist being overconfident because of his extensive experience in Wild places. Several days out on their journey, and within only a few miles of water, the most dreaded and terrible thing of the desert had overtaken them. The sand-storm had not only robbed them of supplies and almost of their lives, but it had confused them, and now since the preceding day they had been wandering without knowledge of location in the slight hope of reaching the waterhole. Early that morning they had talked lightly and jested over trivial things as men will when helpless in the face of peril. But as the day burned on, their lips became dry and cracked. The dust, disturbed by their dragging feet, floated about them, irritating their eyes and burning their throats. Gradually they became silent and now they walked with drooping heads and limply hanging arms. The patient vulture wheeling in graceful spirals far above them in the blinding sky noted how their pace had lagged since morning. The naturalist's foot turned on a small stone. Glancing mechanically down he stooped and picked it up in surprise. It was of a blue color, very different from the sandstone of the desert. About the size and shape of a small cocoanut, it had a deep groove cut about its center. The professor vaguely remembered reading of somewhat similar stones which the South Sea Islanders used as weapons. The geologist seeing the stone, seized it eagerly and closely examined it. The-n he said: Yes, they used to find them on the beach sometimes, but how long ago that has been--a million years perhaps. For a time as they walked the naturalist watched the dust puff from under his feet and the golden sand slipping about them and seeming to draw them down with gradually increasing force. Warding off the persistent dizziness, he won- dered how the stone happened to be in the desert. He thought of his home, of the cool spring, and of the shady trees whose leaves thc breezes were even then rustling. 77 llit:azus:..:::sa: saasi:: :zz n iaaausz s s ss l At times he heard his companion talking incoherently and feared that the heat would soon completely overcome him. Often he had the feeling that he was being intently watched by beings that were always just disappearing as he turned. At last wheel- ing quickly he saw for an instant a powerful little brown man whose brown eyes burned themselves into his brain even after the apparition vanished. Though some- what disturbed, he thought it only another trick of his fevered brain, and so said nothing. He lost all account of time, he had just been walking on and on for ages. A sharp cry aroused him with a start. Turning he saw his friend seated on the sand and with strained face drawing something from his bleeding shoulder. In reply to the naturalist's anxious questions he said that he had been shot with an arrow. - Indians P cried the professor, glancing about in alarm. No, by the other people, said the geologist, handing him the arrow. They must have been suspicious of us. They are gone now and this scratch will soon be all right. Speechless with wonder the professor examined the arrow. It was of a type which he knew was different from any used by the Indians. The light shaft was about fifteen inches long, as thick as his thumb and evidently made from the wing- bone of some enormous bird. It was tipped with opaque jasper and in place of the feathering were three large fish scales. Altogether it was as efficient a weapon as primitive man ever devised. After a While they arose and resumed their wandering, which for all they knew might lead them back to their starting point. After an hour's progress they topped a low dune. An exclamation of Wonder escaped the naturalist, A hundred yards in front the desert ended abruptly on the verge of a precipice. Below lay a most wonderful country. In the foreground a dark river wound through low lands of stiff swordlike grass, and finally emptied into a sea of brilliant blue. Beyond, hills thickly covered with trees which resembled greatly magnified ferns and weeds, stretched to the base of a mountain chain. Sharp peaks and vol- canic cones rose to great height and their crests were crowned with the everlasting snows. Rushing to the edge of the cliff, the professor saw at his feet a number of grass and brush huts. Among them moved people who even at that distance the naturalist could see resembled the apparition which had appeared to him a short time before. - Suddenly wild shouts drew his gaze to a ridge across the river. Over the top of the hill came laboring through the air a great creature that was not a bird. It was unmistakably reptile. Its clumsy wings were like those of a bat. Across a glade, in pursuit, rushed a body of brown men. They ran with great speed, some holding avelins poised in their hands waited a better chance to launch them, While others paused to shoot an arrow at the quarry. The creature, evidently badly wounded, fell among the trees and the' cries of the hunters ended in a shout of triumph. 78 l IX I Iliiiliilliiiliiiilliiiiiiiil Iliiilll!fiEilIiEE!!iiEiiEEEII , -V' , m, The men in the village ran to the river, carrying with them on their backs what looked like great baskets. But on reaching the river they placed the baskets in the water and stepping into them they paddled slowly across. Gaining the shore they ran to the assistance of their friends. ' The sun, now a glowing red ball, hung above the sea, which had changed to molten brass. Hazy violet shadows filled the ravines and crept up among the mountains. The snowy peaks sparkled as the millions of icy jewels reflected the rays of the setting sun. Piercing cries, evidently of great terror, again drew the professors attention. Across the level bottom the men came dashing through the coarse grass. Closely following was a monster for which several of the men would have made a small meal. lt was of the strange form and fierce aspect of those depicted on the pages of geological texts. Though running with such a ponderous tread that the naturalist imagined that he could feel the ground tremble. it gained steadily upon the men, paying not the least attention to the hastily thrown spears. But now the men reached the boats and leaping in they pushed off and paddled desperately away. At a safe distance they turned to ire a few ineffectual arrows and to shout angrily at the animal which had robbed them of their game. VVe have seen the past, he heard the geologist saying. Such was their life of fear, of hunting and being hunted. - One-two-three. The clock was striking. The scientist awoke with a start, to find himself in his easy chair by the study table. The hands of the clock pointed to twelve, on his knees the work which he had been reading was still open at the chapter on l'Primitive Man. C.-P. SMITH 79 llliiifi' Iiiliiliill fiiiiill IIEE!!E!!IiEiIIiES! ii!E5 I The Reclamation of Temple Bow .1 g LD, long vacant homesteads may be found in many places, but none like Q Temple Bow. Thirty-seven years ago its last occupant departed, and no one came to take his place. Time passed. Spiders built their webs across the windows and the corners of the ceilings, dust settled deeply upon everything within, lichens and moss covered the shingles, grass, weeds and undergrowth choked the drives, lawns and gardens. Countless water-lilies and frogs' thrived in the little artificial lake in the' lawn. Decay and abandonment reigned supreme. And now Starke Bedford was coming to claim his own, and to possess the heritage which his uncle had abandoned in such mysterious haste. It was only a few years after the war when Seymour Bedford, then the owner and occupant of Temple Bow, had suddenly left for Louisiana, never to return-why, none knew. As years passed and he did not return the place was gradually forgotten and left to sink under the weight of the accumulating dust. VVhen the present Bedford was twenty-two years old he saw in a paper the account of an incident in which the old estate in Albemarle County, Virginia, was men- tioned. He recalled how his mother had often told him of her uncle's estate, Temple Bow, and of his sudden departure, but as a boy he had never dreamed of becoming the possessor. This account awakened his interest, however, and started him in a strenuous endeavor to visit the plantation and to look up the deeds and records in the hope that he might chance upon some evidence of his legal right to the property. Thus it was that he left Camden, N. J., and came to Albemarle County. ' In Charlottesville, the county seat, after long searching and laborious' effort, he found a will of his great uncle,s made out four years before he left for Louis- iana, bequeathing the estate of Temple Bow to Starke Bedford's mother, and to her children at her death. Starke, the only child of his deceased mother, was accordingly the legal heir. After a week spent in proving and establishing his claim, he rode out one day to find the Bow and examine its condition. The Bow lay some eight miles from the county-seat in a broad valley. Young Bedford drove along the sandy road and would have passed it by had not the driver called attention to the place as he drew up at the entrance and hitched the horse to a large tree. Together they pushed open the gate, closed for so many years, and slowly made their way up to the mansion. Time had indeed made sad alterations everywhere. The brick Walls were weather-beaten, the sun had blistered the paint off the window-sills and shutters, the porch with its massive white pillars alone seemed to stand haughtily erect, defying the elements. Locust shoots and coarse-looking rose-bushes crowded around the house, while the lawn was a mass of undergrowth, tall grass and broken boughs of trees. The little lake, already mentioned, was hardly visible because of the ,80 Iliiifill lili illifiiiill Illilllllflillliiilliii EEII . V -V' V --Y . . Y. . ' debris, but the frogs' deep unceasing chorus told of its presence. Back of the house the garden was a wilderness of brambles and weeds, and no longer resembled the carefully-tended plot which was once the pride of its owner. This was what Stark Bedford's determination and enthusiasm, supported by his financial resources, had sent him to reclaim. He had brought only a few things along with him from Camden, intending to take up lodgings at some convenient plantation adjoining. Do you know of any place near where I might stay while I am down here? inquired young Bedford of his driver as they left the Bow after the tour of inspec- tion. l'arson Beverley an' Miss Cicely lives up de road a piece an' I dunno but as dey might take you in. VVho are Pastor Beverley and Miss Cicely? rr He's de Lutheran minister to St. Ann's an' Miss Cicely's his daughter. Dey lives 'bout haffa mile beyou' de end ob dis field, explained the driver. VVell, drive up to the parsonage and we will see what can be done. Wlhat and where is St. Ann's ? fc St. Annis was built by Marsa Seymour Bedford mo' dan forty Years ago. Hit was built in de memeory ob his father. Hit sho' was a han'some church when hit was built, but hit needs fixing up awful bad now. ' At the parsonage, which was just opposite the church which the darky had described, Starke Bedford found the clergyman. After he had introduced himself and stated l1is mission in Albemarle, the old minister welcomed him ,most heartily. It will be a privilege and a pleasure to aid you for your uncle's sake, for he was a noble man and was loved by all who knew him. I am glad that you have come and intend to restore dear old Temple Bow to its former beauty and glory, exclaimed Dr. Beverley as he warmly shook Bedford's hand. Very striking was the contrast as the two men stood there together. The pastor was tall, white-haired, clean shaven and apparently robust. The light- haired youth stood before him, not quite six feet tall, broad shouldered, and full of vigor and enthusiasm for the work he had undertaken. .lust then Cicely came in from some Work she had completed, unaware that anyone was in the study with her father. Starke noticed in one glance her slender figure, auburn hair, short nose and two merry dimples which frequent smiles re- vealed. No one could justly call her beautiful, but her cheerincss attracted every- one who came in contact with her, and the mischievous light in her brown eyes gave her a winsomc individuality and charm. Her face was illumined with a smile as she greeted him with a soft, distinct voice. It was an altogether pleasant im- pri-ssion that Bedford carried away from his short visit to the parsonage. 81 , IX . IIiiiiillEEE!!iE5!Eif!iiiillIfQ QllllliiiiillliiilI5ES!!iiEii!5EII , V ' The initiation of the work of reclamation and renovation kept Bedford very busy for a month or more. There was indeed much to do, but since he did not lack the necessary funds with which to push the Work, it was carried along rapidly in order that it might be completed by fall. Carpenters, masons, painters and plumbers were employed, the mansion was enlarged and repaired, old stables were razed, fences renewed and dilapidated barns and sheds replaced by new structures. A gang of colored laborers under a superintendent were set to work clearing the lawn garden and field of the growth and ruin that had accumulated through the years. Farm work was put in' motion, cattle and horses bought, and much machinery and necessary equipment was provided. Bedford was never idle, but was always over- seeing or helping with the work. Steadily through the summer the building, repair- ing and farming continued until fall saw the' Work almost completed. During the busy summer months Starke had found little time to associate with the family at the parsonage, for he went to the Bow early and returned late in the eevning too tired for any social hours with the minister or his devoted and cheerful daughter. Occasionally he would attend St. Ann's on Sunday, though not often, for he would usually rest all day. The fall, however, witnessed the comple- tion of the work and allowed him more time at the parsonage with Dr. Beverley, who had taken a great interest in him, and with Miss Cicely, their friendship having meanwhile grown more intimate. At her invitation he attended more regularly the services conducted by her father at old St. Ann's. She had become much interested in his work of restoration of the venerable mansion, often going down on Sunday afternoons with him to see the many improvements in the buildings, the land freshly laid under cultivation, and the cattle and stock newly purchased. The colonial furniture, the paneling of the rooms, the large fire-places, the beautiful floors, all had a fascination for her. Many of the people in the country who had known his great uncle came to welcome him and to commend his undertaking. In October he returned to Camden with the view of settling all his financial affairs and moving to his new home. After an absence of nearly two months he was ready to leave New Jersey for Temple Bow. Meanwhile changes had taken place at the rectory. Hardly had Bedford left for New Jersey when Dr. Beverley became ill and was no longer able to render his services to the parish. Advancing years accompanied by illness 'caused him to realize that he must have an assistant in his work. Accordingly, at his own request, a student of the Theological Seminary was secured to render this assistance as long as it was deemed necessary. Gordon Leigh was young but thoroughly capable in the work he had undertaken. He Was' short, inclined to be corpulent, had light hair, and possessed a bright and sporting disposition. He took up his residence in the parsonage and was soon in full control of the work which Dr. Beverly had done. Gordon fell violently in love with Cicely within the first week, but she was too absorbed in the care and comfort of her father to notice his attentions. 82 '-v IliiifiiIl!Ea.ZiEi!EifiiiiiII Iliiiiilfiiillifi Eiifiiiifll Thus matters lay when Bedford returned to Temple Bow late in November. He and Gordon Leigh became acquaintances, but their friendship proceeded no fur- ther. Starke had felt no special love for Cicely before, only admiration and sym- pathy, but the sight of her tenderly caring for her father and of Gordon Leigh at last aroused him. He spent all the time he could spare Cand the approaching winter was affording him more leisurej with the invalided father, who was cheered and ben- efited by his visits. With silent approval Dr. Beverley watched the growing attach- ment of Bedford to Cicely. Some day, he hoped, she would be the mistress of Temple Bow. Leigh was always busy with his labors among the people of the parish, who at once welcomed him as a worthy successor to their faithful pastor. During December the fathel-'s health improved and he was able once again to attend services and witness the work his successor was doing. Bedford, tiring of the lonely plantation, spent more and more of his time at the parsonage. 96 96 96 96 96 -X- Qi- +5 99 On Christmas day, though the weather was inclement, Cicely went with Starke and Dr. Beverley to St. Ann's, and the old rector there performed his last service. Thus did Starke Bedford, the rightful claimant, in restoring the long deserted home- stead, find his way to a life of happiness, and the beloved pastor was not called away until he saw Cicely the mistress, if not the ruler, of Temple Bow.

As to beauty, we make no pre- tensionsg take a dogged look at the picture of the Salem Club, and you will see why we so readily concede them that honor. A To do justice to the ability and intellect of this galaxy, it is necessary that we consider its members individually as well as collectively. First in importance, if not in bulk, is the honorable Randolph Caskie Coleman, the little Napoleon, who has gathered unto himself a first distinction for every year at Roanoke. He has distinguished himself socially, too. As a speaker he would take first rank in Congress, but his greatest pleasure is in promenading between the High School and Main Street. Our other Senior is VVright, who ranks next to Coleman in scholarly attainmentsg rivals since their first meeting at R. H. S., the secret of the superior lies in the latteris versatility. Paul devotes himself to his books, especially Latin, and the girls do not like that. His failing is self-conceit, so marked that it has gained him the cognomen HIT. Huff has surprised us by his development, he has executed a romance which Jingles declares is worthy of note if it could be noted. You know Huff is big? So is his heart and that explains his many friends. Cy Brown is our star athlete. If his i'R's will not win him the attention of a certain young lady, he'd sacrifice them all that that sweet incense might turn her eyes to-him-ward. So endeth the ofhcersl In future years this club will be represented in the annals of the medical pro- fession by a quartette of famous physicians. Hurt's only trouble is that he is always hurt, a graduate of R. H. S., he has already made a record as a student. I-Iock, ex-V. M. I., is a member of the medical frat, an athlete, and a gentleman. He will be a popular doctor. Irvine' and Sommardahl round out thc able quartette, but both of them have given our club room a wide berth. Irvine is a nice gentle- man and a clean cut studentg Sommardahl used to be a Master Mechanic, but life without learning didn't appeal to him. Baby McComb, our beautiful favorite, is a mechanical genius, he will make his fortune from railway patents. Hodgin, his room-mate, possessor of the smile that won't come off, is loyal to us, but is neutral among the nations, the flags of all fly over his head. He and Possin are the business men of the club, and will he renowned financiers. Possin has typewritten tons of worthless fiction for some of our members. Poor Possinl Legal Action Painter smiles boldly, but is easily tcnsedg he is devoted to his books. particularly Latin CPD Second Distinction Gard- 121 1X lIiEifi!IlESa.Z!Ei! iiiiiiiil IIEEi!E!!3E!lIiEE!! iEi E II ner has been considered a candidate for next year's football team, but study is his profession, his world is foreign language, he is no gardener. Though YValker's ambition lies in the literary Held, he will achieve fame as an octogenarian walker. Fleck is a nice jolly gentleman, but girls interfere with the clear cut student part of his character, pleasure is' his pursuit, and he certainly gets the Peters in our citified country gentleman, his heart is at the VVoman's College, and adapting schedule is his specialty. A ' Jamison is in a class to himself except on the carg there he classes himself with the ladies. His pet expression is 'Tll tell you the truth, but how far shall we trust him?

During his sojourn with us, Coach Spruhan has won for himself great honor by sending forth sturdy supporters of the maroon and gray who have proved them- selves far superior to the padded warriors of other colleges, and even very Worthy opponents of the so-called university teams. The members of the various teams and the remainder of the student body appreciate very much the work done by Coach Spruhan and give him full credit for the numerous victories won by Roanoke this year. - VVhile there has never been any difficulty in securing games with other col- leges, yet, since Roanoke has become a member of the Virginia Collegiate Athletic Association this matter will be made much easier. To be a member of the asso- ciation will mean that Roanoke's policy, which she has always clung to, of never allowing on her teams any but men of good standing in their classes and of always maintaining clean sport, will be recognized by other leading colleges of Virginia, and consequently of the South. FOOTBALL Notwithstanding the fact that the football team lost their center, VV. Bunting, and their fast halfback, Anspach, they have made a record this ye-ar which is even better than the excellent one of last year. ' Beginning the season with two practice games, one with the Jefferson Athletic Club and the other with Fishburn Military Academy, both of which were easily defeated, it looked as if these were the beginning of an endless chain of victories for Roanoke. She, however, suffered her Hrst defeat at the hands of the heavy VVashington and Lee team at Lexington on October 10th. This loss was amply made up for by the next game, which was with Morris Harvey College, and which resulted in an overwhelming victory for Roanoke. Vifithin a few days after this victory came the game with V. P. I., which, in the eyes of the students of both institutions, was for both teams probably the most important game of the season. Although V. P. I. succeeded in holding Roanoke to a score of 7 to 7, yet Roanoke does not feel that she has met her equal. The Techs have more than three times as many students as Roanoke and ought to have had a much superior team. It was evident, however, that they did not have. V. P. I. supporters agree themselves that in nearly every stage of the game Roanoke played the fastest game of ball. The game was played on V. P. I.'s field and probably was the hardest fought contest that either team engaged in during the whole season. Throughout the entire game, except possibly the last few minutes of play, V. P. I. was on the defensive. They would scarcely get possession of the ball till they would punt it back up the field. They seemed to fear having the ball near their own goal, even though it was in their own possession. 137 IX I Iliiifillliiiliiiil fliiiiil Iliiiifiilfiiillii iiifiilif l A few days after the V. P. I. game Roanoke was defeated for the second and last time by lVake Forest, on the Tar Heels' own field. This game was played too soon after the previous one for the team to be able to do its best work. The condition of the men was made even worse by having to play immediately after their long and tiresome journey on the train. The next game was played with Gallaudet at Roanoke city and resulted in another victory for Roanoke. The deaf mutes have one of the best teams in the East and began the game as if they intended to add another triumph to their already long list. The mutes' silent signals were at first so puzzling to the Roanoke team that Gallaudet was allowed to make a goal. But after they had become ac- customed to the novelty, the scoring ceased for Gallaudet. After fifty-four min- utes of exciting play the game ended in a victory for Roanoke. The next and final game of the season was played at Lynchburg on Thanks- giving Day with Hampden Sidney. It easily resulted in another victory for Roanoke, Hampden Sidney not being allowed to score. The team was accompanied to Lynchburg by several hundred students and loyal supporters who witnessed the game. It is with deep regret that the varsity loses by graduation two of its best line men, Cap,' Bonham and Bill Killinger. They have stood by the Maroon and Gray throughout several years of ups and downs and many times have turned the tide of victory for Roanoke. In spite of this heavy loss, the outlook for next year is bright, and it is believed that Captain Jerusalem's warriors will easily win as good a record as Captain Bunting's has this year and that they will prove equal to the task that Manager Tavenner has imposed upon them. BASKET BALL ' A In spite of the fact that this year's schedule was an exceedingly heavy one, the basket ball team showed their usual fine playing by winning all but four of the games played. The Roanoke quint faced this year the fastest teams in Virginia and North Carolina, among whom we might mention V. M. I., University of Vir- ginia, A. and M., and the University of North Carolina. The score of 17 to 18 with U. N. C. shows a defeat, yet it is so slight that the Maroon and Gray has no reason to worry. This game is characteristic of Roanoke's few defeats, but such a score as 27 to 18 with A. and M. is characteristic of her many triumphs. Next yearis team will suffer very much from the loss of Bonham and Moore, who graduate, but considering the fine showing made by the second team, we can- not feel that the high standard in basket ball for which Roanoke has become famous will have to be lowered. BASEBALL ' Since the Annual goes to press little can be said regarding baseball except a few predictions. Coach has three complete teams on the field and reports all of them doing well. Our old battery is with us again and in good condition. VVith Tiffany and Tavenner in the box and Haslett behind the bat, we have no forebodings of any approaching defeat. We also have several new men who are making an ex- cellent showing on the Held, in spite of the fact that they have not been able to get much practice on account of unfavorable weather. According to the opinion of those who have seen the men at work, we have excellent prospects of another long list of victories for Roanoke. 138 ff?

Spruhan closed a memorable athletic career at the Uni- versity of Mississippi and Ohio State University, there was scarcely a moment's hesitation as to what should be his future work. His fondness W for the three major college sports, football, baseball, and basket ball, his thorough knowledge of the most minute details of these games, and his aptitude for inspiring others to struggle with an intelligent but indomitable will for victory made him eminently fit for work as an athletic coach. But leaving un- said so many things that might be written of the early history of this smiling son of the Hoosier State and beginning with his assumption of duties as General Athletic Coach at Roanoke in the fall of 1913, We know that his arrival at Salem marked a new era in athletics for the Maroon and Gray. WVith approximately two hundred students from Whom to select his men, Coach Spruhan has sent forth teams that have conquered many of the leading colleges in this section of the country. All have found in Roanoke a worthy and formidable foe. To be definite, Roanoke has won more than two-thirds of all intercollegiate athletic contests during the past two years and it should not be forgotten that her schedules have included many of the strongest teams of the South. WVe do not hesitate for a moment in attributing this notable achievement in large measure to the faithful andefficient service of Coach Spruhan. His telling sarcasm, his insistence upon nothing but hard and persevering efforts in practice, his ability to inspire his charges with confidence, his gift for bringing inexperienced men to a rapid knowledge of the various forms of athletics, and his patient dealing with all are important factors in the notably successful work of Coach, But the be-st thing of all, he has demanded fair and clean playing at all timcs. VVe 'salute you, radiant Irishman! You have done your part nobly in putting Roanoke on the athletic map and may you remain with us to help keep her there until all your golden locks have turned to gray! 155 IX IIiiifi!IIEEE!ZiEi!Ei55iiiiiI IIEEi!E! fiEi EES!!ii ii!EEII jokes Prof. Morehead: Mr. Ritchie, who was Dante's contemporary?

GLEANINGS FROM A FEW EXAM PAPERS The people who live in the uninhabited portions of the earth are mostly can- nibals. Geometry is that branch of mathematics that deals with angels. Longfellow was a full-blooded American poet. He wrote the Salmon of Life. The Pilgrims came to America so that they might persecute their religion in peace. Electricity is a current of very strong stuff. Sir Isaac Newton invented gravitation out of an apple.

He cannot eat it but DUN-CAN, so he offers it to him. But Duncan is a WVYSE old GARDENER and will not eat Vit. Then our friend wanders on and comes upon a CRABTREE with PFLUMS on it. He also partakes of this fruit. On the next MUNDY he swallows some BLUE STONE and a CAR- PENTER is called in to SLAUGHTER him, but he says it does not HURT. When he is again able to be out, he goes to RICHMOND, which is only SIX MILES from JERUSALEM, and the first fellow he sees is a SLEEPY old REC- TOR, who asks him for a PENCE to buy some MOORE of BORDEN'S Malted Milk and some BEACH nut chewing gum. He walks on and sees the COLEMAN driving a BROVVN CAMPBELL down the street, and for some fun he MOCKS him. The driver throws a lump of coal at him and he runs into a GATE which the HUFF-y old PAINTER had just KLOSE-d. The HOFF-MAN would have hit him, but McGel1ee is a sly FOX and HIRTLE-s the fence. And just as he gets over the fence he runs into a BAR- RIER and it comes near KILLINGER. He finally gets away, but he meets the BAKER coming along on a fine SADLER, who wants him to go along to see the KEISER. He tells the BAKER that he had seen KING SOLOMON and does not care to see any more of the royal family. After the BAKER HAS-LETT him go, he thinks he has DUNN enough walking, so he betakes himself to the BEACH to go ROE-ing. OHMER-cy!

' 'xf The Act of the Freshmanites And 10, it came to pass in the reign of DOC the BIG that the Freshmanites were all assembled to partake of the yearly Feast of the Weed Harvest on the athletic field. And as they were thus assembled one Freshmanite ran unto his brethren saying, Arise and make haste, for there approacheth unto our midst a Senior Wright of the tribe of the Seniorites who murmureth within himself and unto his fellowmen these things, 'Behold the Rats of the tribe of the Freshmanites V n are not bold and fearless Thus this saving spread among the Seniorites, Juniorites, Sophomorites and fell upon the ears of the Ireshmanites. And lo, it came to pass as this Senior VVright of the tribe of the Seniorites came into their midst that the F1-eshmanites took coun- sel among themselves what they should do to this Senior Wright for his blasphemous sayings against the Freshmanites. Some said, We will stone him according unto the law of the Sophomoritesf' but others said, Behold ye him with hair growing upon his upper lip. ls it not unlawful for him to approach us in such a manner, for is it not written in the Rat Bible, Sec. II, 'Be respectful to your fellow citizens and deserve their esteem'?, and also is it not written 'VVhen in Ratdom do as the Rats do and when in Freshmanea do as the Freshmanites do'? And they all with one accord began to make consent that according to the law He that speaketh blasphemously shall be abasedf' So there arose one Freshmanite, Haun by name, and maketh haste unto his dwelling and returned within the same hour with an instrument for cutting the hair closely. And when the Senior Wright came into their midst they laid hands upon him and conveyed him to the banks of a stream nearby. They then laid him upon the green sod of the earth and turned his face toward the sun. Tenderly but forci- bly they take from l1is upper lip a portion of the growth of hair. Then spake they unto him, Depart ye hence unto your tribe and show yourself to them that this thing which has come to pass might be an example unto your kinsmenf' And he was wroth and loath to approach unto his brethren, for he thought he was a just man and worthy of his hair. And when the Seniorites heard and saw what was done unto one of their num- ber, they took counsel secretly what they should do to make the Freshmanites repent of their evil doings. And lo, in the night-time just before the crowing of the cocks they ser-retly gathered into their midst the Rats of the Freshmanites, by names Haun, Zirkle, Sisson. Mock and Coffman,'who did the evil deed. And they placed a napkin over their eyes that they might not see the things which should be done unto them. Then did the' Seniorites this thing. They cut from the tops of the Rats' heads the beautiful locks so bounteously placed there by their Creator. Then spake they unto them saying, This do we as a sign unto the Freshmanites that this thing which has come to pass is not in accordance with the law of the Colligio, 'That the Freshmanites shall not trespass on the rights of Seniorites'. Then departed the Rats unto their people and the Freshmanites stood with fear and trembling when they beheld the sign which was shown unto them. 162 COLLEGE CLOTHING You, hustling fellows are sntent on ugetting thru,H clout malce the mistake of not seeing our new models in our Hart Schalfner and Marx Varsity Line The styles, the weaves, the designing, all are handled for the men particularly.
