T-H-E E-C-H-0 Hl?2?s VOLUME VII Published by the Students of THE SIMPSON SCHOOL � l Pkki'aratory to Birmincma.m-Soitmkrn' Colubck BIRMINGHAM ALA BA M A yoreword Again we bow to yon. friends and fellow students. An institution, like an individual, that bows only once a year is liable to become stiff and formal in the interim. II e assure you. haivcver, that there is enough exercise in this “annual act to keep our muscles active. H e come presenting another picture of the school zee all love. We are not claiming any too great merit. This volume is made for your future reference and comfort and delight. If you don't value it. yon are hopeless, if you have only criticism, you are worse than hopeless. If you praise it too much, yon are not very discriminating. If you make allowances for its limitations, you are human and kind and sensible. Many years from today, fellozt' students, you will cherish the experiences and associations suggested by occasional glances at this book. May it form another strong link in the chain that will always bind you in brve to the friends and ideals of dear old Simpson. ‘De die at ion It never rains but it pours is an old proverb the truth of which is being demonstrated to Simpson. It would be bad enough to lose one of these men whose pictures appear ou the opposite page: but to lose both at one fell stvoop is almost too much for human endurance. Mr. Xccsc, affectionately knoien as Slim.'’ has ; his eight years of service as coach and teacher and all-round man endeared himself to every one of us. In his new field of activity in Xew J ’ork City he will be backed by the whole school. His place will be hard to f ill. Mr. Lipsey has grown steadily in the esteem and affection of students and teachers, lispedal I y has he won a warm spot in the hearts of those who are grouped in the S Club with whom he has worked so faithfully. These men who knew him best would do anything for Pick, and all are behind him in his new field. hi admiration and gratitude we dedicate this Annual to these beloved men.

Abuse our eyes and ruin our frame— And goodness knows what else we do That tends to make us very blue— And all to get a place within The walls of school we hate like sin.

Lee Prise Essay by Robert Clayton It is only a few times in a century that some unselfish soul, coupled with a towering genius of mind, rises in grandeur and goodness so far ahovr his fellows as to command their almost worshipful admiration and love. Such a man was Kol ert Edward Lee. No written memorial can indicate the strong hold he had upon the Southern people, nor r rtray that peerless |H;rsonality which gave him his marvelous turner among all men. Kol ert Kdward Lee was the son of the celebrated “Light Horse Marry, who played such a brave part as a cavalry leader in the Revolutionary War. Rol ert was hut eleven years old when his father died. He inherited a love of the outdoors, a desire to be a military leader, and a deep-seated love of Virginia. Having been educated in Benjamin Hnllowcll’s school, he applied ior admission to West Point, to which he was admitted at eighteen years of age in 1825. l.cc went through the academy with high distinction. When he graduated in 1829 he received as his post Hampton Roads, where he assisted in improving the defense of the Southern harl ors. I atcr in life he took for his companion Mary Custis, great grand-daughter of Martha Washington, and the heiress to a great part of the Washington estate. They had a family of seven, three hoys and four girly Lee was a loving and conscientious father, as well as a devoted husband. Rolicrt Lee wrote of his father: “He was very patient, very loving, very good to me. and I remember l est my trying to please him in my studies. When 1 was able to bring home a good report from my teacher, he was greatly pleased and showed it in eyes and voice. Iitit he always insisted that 1 get the maximum and that he would never lie satisfied with less.” The same things that made him a good father made him a great and beloved general, and bis soldiers always did their best to bring to him the maximum. Lee's sincerity, kindliness, and human svm| athy won admiration from ail who knew him. In 1861 there arose the serious strife between the two sections of the country which meant nothing less than war. Lee was puzzled as to what he should do; hut today we know that the American Civil War was not merely a struggle to decide the fate of slavery, but to answer finally a question which had l� ccn undecided from the adoption of the Constitution, namely, whether the State or the National Government was the Supreme power of the land. Today there is no question as to which we owe our highest allegiance; hut in 1861, when Robert E. l.ce faced the gravest decision of his life, the answer was not apparent, and the strength of his attachment to his state. Virginia, the home of his family, forced him to cast his lot with the South. We cannot but honor him for his decision, which to him was the clear path of duty. To duty his whole life was dedicated. F uty to his family, to his soldiers, to his country, ami to his God was what carried him through the Civil War. and gave him strength at its end to say. There is a true glory and a true honor, the glory of duty done, the honor of integrity of principle.” Once a great man. to summarize Lee’s life. said. He was a foe without hate, a friend without treachery, a soldier without cruelty, and a victim without murmuring. He was a public officer without vices, a patriotic citizen without wrong, a neighbor without reproach, a Christian without hypocrisy, ami a man without guilt. He was a Caesar without his ambition. a Frederick without his tyranny, a Napoleon without his selfishness, ami a Washington without his reward. He was as obedient to authority as a Servant, and royal to authority as a king. He was gentle as a woman in life, pure and modest as a virgin in thought, watchful as a Roman Vestal, submissive to law as Socrates, and grand in battle as Achilles.” When the war was over Lee went to the college which bears his and Washington's names and served as President for five years. Once during Lee’s Presidency there a student was brought before him because of his failure in his studies. During the talk the boy said. But The E C 11 C) 1929 General, you tailed. I hope that you may lie more fortunate than I. was Lee's tranquil answer. In Lee's later life lie tried to train ypttng men to do their duty in life, and for this alone many say that he attained his real greatness hy l ciug an educator. Today he is not merely a hero of the South hut to the undivided country he stands a great, an honored, and a beloved American. Father Ryan, in the following poem pays a beautiful tribute to our Southern hero: Out of its. Scabbard! Never hand Waved sword from stain so frie. Nor purer sword led braver band. Nor braver bled for a brighter land. Nor brighter laud had a cause o grand. Nor cause a chiei like Lee! Forth from its Scabbard all in vain Bright flashed the sword of Lee, Tis shrouded now in its sheath again. It sleeps the sleep of our noble slain, Defeated yet without stain. Proudly and peacefully. 1929 The E C 11 O Lincoln Prist Essay by Dwight Mangum ShittlcsMiew was written in bin letters over the ram-shackle cabin, the unkempt garden, the clearing, rank with weeds, the half-worked corn patch, choked with high grasses and creeping vines—in fact, over everything about the little Kentucky spot where the neglectful carpenter-father of one of the gratest men that America has ever produced, was 1mm. lint Abraham had a mother, an energetic, brave cheerful, devoted, far-seeing, ambitious, godly, tenacious character. Of her Lincoln wrote later: “All that I am. or ever hope to l c, I owe to her. The father's roving disposition took the family to Indiana when the lioy was just seven. All the rigors of an uncleared country , in all kinds of weather, they endured. 11 ere there came the tragedy of the mother's death, from a strange epidemic that swept the section. A winter of dismal loneliness descended upon the family. Often night would find the two children huddled against the wall waiting for the footsteps of their wandering father, but hearing only the dismal howling of prowling wild animals. It was a happy day for tnem when their lather brought home a new mother with her son and two daughters. At first shy of her. they grew to love her because of her winning ways. Soon the place was fairly shining with a sweet wholcsomcncss ami comfort it had never known before. When Abraham was eleven years old. a school was established in the community. Over the indifference ami objections of the father, the mother made Abraham attend this school. Mere began his love for books and the formation of those habits of study ami training that later made the man the marvel 01 tile world. It is common knowledge how he trained himself to reproduce on the crudest materials everything that he read and heard, and how he mastered thoroughly certain great books. When he was about nineteen, his family again started on the trail, this time locating in Illinois. Here he helped split the rails with which to build a log hut and fences. His work as store keeper, clerk, surveyor, post-master, etc was without any special note or success. His awkwardness, his height, his dress, striking because of the wide-brimmed hat without a band, and homespun shirt and claw-hammer coat, and tow trousers that failed by several inches to reach his shoes—all these made him look like a down. However, when he opened his mouth all consciousness of hi.s uncouth appearance vanished from those who at first Would have laughed. Me made the impression at once of taiiig a man who dealt with souls. During this time, he was studying law and becoming deeply interested in all matters relating to the public welfare. The confidence of the people in him grew to such an extent that they elected him to Congress in I84 . Returning from Washington, he devoted himself earnestly to the practice of law until the agitation over the admission of slave states into the union became so intense that he again threw himself into the midst of the active affairs of imblic life. Though he was defeated in the contest for the Senate by the Little Giant. Stephen A. Douglas, he gained a great reputation for the stand that be took Shortly after bis election to the Presidency in I860, when it Itccatnc evident that civil strife was inevitable, with a sad heart be bade farewell to hi own iieoplc and entered upon what be felt was a more serious and difficult task titan faced Washington. One of the worst thing' against which be bad to contend was the fact that he did not have the sympathy and co-operation of certain so-called more learned ones who could not Itelievc that this crude westerner could guide the affairs of state through those perilous times. Steadfast amid the clamorings of his toes Lincoln held to his puri ose to unite the North and South. His heart was bleeding for his fellow-countrymen who were falling by the thousands on the field of tattle. Hr suffered a a tender father for his children. In 1864 he was re-elected to the Presidency. Borne down hv the weight that seemed too Cat for any man. yet facing courageously each situation as it came, he wrote. I think I shall dlv live out this term of office—the burden is so great. With the surrender of Lee at Appomatox. it was sure that this great leader of men had accomplished his purpose to save the union. A mad fanatic brought to a tragic end the imitations of this groat heart. Ingersoll said of Lincoln: It is the glory of the man that having almost absolute power, he never abused it except on the side of mercy. Wealth could not purchase, power could not aw this divine, this loving man. He knew no fear except the fear of doing wrong. Hating slavery, pitying the master, seeking to conquer, not persons, but prejudices—he was the embodiment of self-denial. the courage, the hope and the nobility of a nation.

The Echo for 1930 This writer suggests that the issuing of the Kchu for 1930 Ikt made to depend wholly iu on the success of the Business Staff by February 1st. If sufficient Ad have Urn secured hy this date, then let the work of getting out the Annual proceed. but not before. We p«� this to John CampU'll and Harmon Stokes. Priie Ad Getter Outside the regular members of the Business Staff, the student securing the largest number of ads was Rolicrt Clayton. Several students did some excellent work. Somehow Robert Clayu n has a way of going after a tiling and getting it anyhow, lie's ;� ••go-getter. Robert i a member of the Woodrow Wilson Society The Summer School It U'caiue evident in the Ugimiing that the first semester of the summer school would have a record attendance. The plan for the summer calls for the most pains taking work—work coital in extent and quality to that of the regular session. The members of the regular faculty arc on the job. The Community Church With the completion of McCoy Memorial Church in sight the whole college and school community has ground for rejoicing. Both inside and outside the l uilding is a thing of beauty and joy. No one can say how much stock on the hill has risen since this great work has made such progress.
