Vher ECHO VOLUME VIII Published by the Students of THE SIMPSON SCHOOL Preparatory'to Birrwnghum-Southern College BIRMINGHAM. ALABAMA SiMI’SOX Sell I fit. Foreword The Helm again makes its how. in spite of the fact that for several months this year it seemed impossible on account of hard times for the school to issue the annual. After much deliberation we decided to content ourselves with a very modest publication. Patriotic students and friends will appreciate the reasons for this without argument. In spite of any changes we have made, we bring to you. in permanent form, the likenesses of those with whom all of us have been associated for months and possibly years. Let's not fail to use the book to keep ever fresh in our minds the faces of those whom we have learned to love in Simpson—this is the main purpose of any annual. I ‘cry little of the literary material in this book was ever intended for the public eye—a fact that may make it all the more valuable. It represents the spontaneous expression of students writing from their hearts in the course of daily labors, the gleaning from their class journals. It makes no claim to special literary excellence. The work of issuing the annual is more and more being considered the work of the senior class. H e urge the seniors of ’_? to assume their responsibility from the opening day of the coming session. Doctor John YY. Simpson Dedication Doctor John V_ Simpson .In Appreciation 11 'hen in tlir course of events, scirral years ago. it became necessary to choose a name for the preparatory school of Birmingham-Southern College, it seemed eminently proper that it be named after a man who hud been one of the most beloved presidents of the college. Doctor J. D. Simpson. The wisdom of that decision has never been guestioned. The school has been very fortunate in having the love and friendship and high ideals of this beloved man perpetuated in the life of his very worthy son, Doctor John II'. Simpson. 'Truly the mantle of the father has fallen on the son: the son is an exponent of all those principles that are suggested when we call a man a Christian gentleman. If there is any kind of service he is not ready to engage in for the help of his felloxcman. we have not found it out—and this not simply in his chosen profession of loving service for the plaintive suffering and cry of children, but also ia ways innumerable in behalf of the school and community and church. In no unmistakable way he has manifested his friendship for Simpson. In his own right, as well as by being heir to the spirit of his noble father, he is our beloved friend. Therefore, it is with sincere affection that wc dedicate this annual to Doctor John II'. Simpson. FRIEND Have you ever had a friend That thought the world of you. Who thoiiKht you were a Ciod-send. And you thought her one too? I have one of these friends. She'd move the world for me. And she would twist it till it l e� d It I thought it needs In . I’d stake on her my all. The foes of life I'd fy. Before I’d let or great or small. Part us before vc die! An ink Cami'RKU-. ’30. A PRAYER Glut let me live each lovely day So 1 may know that, come what may.

I'lu first thin I i|i l was to look up my Physio book to see what ‘'statistician” had to do with electricity. I found nothing there, as you can imagine; so I went to the dictionary, and this is what I found: statistics (noun), classified facts relating to a large bodv of people, or to a clan, So here are some facts, classifies! or not. relating to the Senior Class of F 30 of the Simpson School: In hintf the class is excellent, hut in brains it is incomplete. In looks, so far a« the girls are concerned, it is fair; hut for the l« ys it i terrible. In humor, the class Mauds high when the joke is on the other fellow, hut low when the joke is on them. In tardiness, the cla s has Ijern on time once, and that was the day before Christmas. In absences, well, the class has been absent every time we could fool our parents into thinking wr were sick, sad to relate for some whose fathers were doctors. In deportment, the class has been tcrrildc when the professor was called to the phone, or when there was a practiec-tcacher holding down the class. In Math, the class ranged from excellent to poor, according to the hardness of the lessons. In penmanship, all tin- writing of the class i like Chinese pur lcs which takes a Philadelphia lawyer to solve. In reading, when it comes to reading Old English in Literature, the class is aw ful, but it is well-up on Popular Fiction. In Chemistry, well, if the girls hadn't l� cen afraid of getting their hands dirty they might have passed without having to take a doyen exams apiece. In conversation, 1 needn't say anything about that because everybody knows. In history, they had a good lesson on Friday when they liad Current Events. The general average shows that the class lias satisfactorily passed the course of eluding professors and is now ready to l c promoted to a school where the lessons are less difficult. Harmon Stokes. TICKLES IF I WERE KING s There was a student. I’ve heard .say. Who tickled everything that came his way. Me tickled his pal , he tickled his friends, lie tickled his gals, he tickled his lem. And not content with tickling them. He went to the barnyard and tickled the hens. This young student, so tickling bent, Tickled the landlord out of his rent. 11c tickled the mayor, he tickled the chief. He tickled a loan from the meanest thief. He tickled the chin of a pretty lass, lie tickled the teacher out of a pa s. We, the students, sincerely believe. This guy. if put to the test. Could tickle the lock off the Community Chest. If I were king, what would I do? I'd pull the haughty and the rich Down to the rest with all of von; I’d sink the warships, calm the gales. Kill the serj eiits. drown the whales; I'd kill the guys that wrote Math ’ t ooks; I'd honor all the lowly cooks; I'd ask the lieggars h 'inc to dine. And set before them spiccst swine. Nnother thing I'd surely do. I’m positive you’d do it. too. I’d put SlukcM carc so tar from reach That ne’er his plays a guy could teach. Alum Camiheu.. Jim Love.

His works lose a Rood deni in translation, hut still amuse and shock tis equally. He is famous (or his pessimism, yet he presents it in such a humorous way that much heaviness is lost. Nevertheless, we never pm down one of his stories without a feeling of gloom. s villain, he has the quaint quality of knowing all that death means, and yet laughing at it as street gamins do at a policeman, although they know that the policeman will get them in the end.

'.to q 4� � p KIPLING Kipling is the most widely quoted author in existence except Shakespeare There is something about hi' views one can’t describe—that little master touch of one who is well-versed in his subject, lie never wrote about an unfamiliar subject Kipling painted the myriad life of India in a realistic manner. Who hasn’t chuckled with I.earoyd. Mulvailey, and others in their hair-raising adventures? Personally, I like Kipling better than any other author, and I think a good deal of the reading public agree with me. IkiNWM.t. Van i k Vomit. '30. q, xp q SH NKKSPKARl Shakespeare is acclaimed the most widely read author that ever wielded a pen. His writings ooze with appliahlc figures of speech. His works are quoted in pulpit, stage, and class-room. There has hardly lieeu a story written in tin- Knglish language that did not contain some quotation front him. His style is nearly perfect, and his plots are well-laid. True, sections of his works would make a Boston critic blush: but. isn't Vine Dclmar widely read by some classes today? Donnei-l V.vn i� k V « rt. '30. q, q, q, Dl'M S Dumas comes next to Kipling with me for personal enjoyment The mere mention of his name brings to mind flashing blades, l c-plumetl gallants, cotirt intrigues, and international conspiracies. His style is flowing and spontaneous; it keeps one wondering what will happen next. Hi plots are all well laid with history as a background. Most historical authors twist their plots to suit history. Not so with Dumas; lie twists history to suit his plots and is still more accurate than Herodotus. The ideas of a good many of his stories arc based on diaries that he had read. His best work. The Three Muskeleert. is an example. It was originally The Memoirs of Cufilai'i IT. In,i, non. In spite of this, he shows enough originality ami dash to keep a reader interested. Donnn.i.

He. no doubt, accomplished great things and is a | err among the must erudite; yet somehow he just rubs me tl� c wrong way. I think the opinion his contemporaries had of him is sufficient. man has two reputations, they say; the one during his life, the other after his death. Johnson is very popular today.
