MOODHERITAGE MUSEUM 3 i t ■-■-) ' i j .L ,1 l t m xxtsUt Vol. VII MGMX Published by THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION of SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY GEORGETOWN, TEXAS it PROF. SAMUEL G. SANDERS pROF. SAMUEL G. SANDERS was born in Cheraw, S. C, in 1852. At the age of nine- teen he graduated from Wof ord College, easily leading his class, and with the record of being ex- ceptionally pure and noble. After graduating he came to Texas, and for three years was a professor in Salado College. In 1874 he was elected to the professorship of Ancient Languages in Southwestern University, and after spending a year at the LIniversity of Vir- ginia, equipping himself more thoroughly for the position, entered upon his long and useful career as professor in our institution. Here for seventeen years, with firm gentleness and thoroughness, influencing with his beautiful character all who came in contact with him, he labored. He found Southwestern but a piece nf unmoulded clay; he spent the best part of his life in moulding that clay. On September 30, 1892, he died. To his mernory this volume of The Soii ' ivester is most affectionntely and gratefully dedicated. i i GREETING N PRESENTING this volume to you, Oh Lover of Southwestern, we, Tlie Sou ' wester staff, feel that we have fallen far short of suc- cess, and have failed to accomplish what was expected of us. For you, cartoonists have dipped their pens in the ink of exaggeration and painted your eccentricities ; for you poets have sung of the joys and sorrows of college days; aVjout you, wits and others have written as funny as they dared. We ourselves have spent not a few busy and pleasant hours in preparing this volume. And now that it is finished, we alone take all the blame for its shortcomings. Yet, if, when in after years your college days shall seem as tender, as sweet, and as fresh as the soft breezes that fan the wild flowers along the San Gabriel ' s banks in spring-time — if then, in turning over the pages of The Sou ' wester, of nineteen hundred and ten, you shall recall with a kindly smile, or perchance with a sigh, the friend- ships, the deeds, of those shining days of long ago, we shall not have failed in our work. In conclusion, let us extend our truly heart-felt thanks to the many who have aided in the production of this volume. L CONTENTS Dedication .

A I I RECENT P ROGRESS OF SOUTHWESTERN HE YEAR 1909- ' 10 will ever be remembered as the first year Tof a new era in Southwestern ' s history. It was clearly shown at the joyful Home-Coming of ex-students on San Jacinto Day, 1909, that Southwestern ' s future success was assured. Before the Home-Coming all office and business matters had been systematically centralized, and a summer of hard work was concluded September 21, opening day, with the greatest student body ever assembled in the history of the in- stitution. A student body great because: (1) it is the largest of any institution, of any time, of Southern Methodism; (2) it is the most representative student body of the state; (3) its college spirit has reached a higher level, and stands for greater things than ever before. At present Southwestern University, including the Medical Depart- ment, has property valued at $500,000; her endowment has reached the $250,000 mark; her faculty, instructor s, and other officers number eighty; her matriculates, excluding those of the summer schools, number around one thousand. Following Bishop Seth Ward ' s death— a loss forever irreparable— a campaign to raise a $100,000 endowment for the Theological Depart- ment, to be known as the Ward Memorial Fund, was inaugurated. In one day almost $75,000 was subscribed, and ere this book is ofi the presses the full amount will have been pledged. Twelve years ago when the present University building was erected, the builders congratulated themselves that it would suffice for at least their generation. Today the congestion on account of the lack of room is painful. Faculty and students alike saw this, and it is not say- ing too much to say that the Memorial Hall soon to be built, owes largely its future existence to the present student body. The Y. M. C. A. began the movement by demanding a building. At once each professor, each individual enterprise of the University de- manded recognition. A number of small buildings was out of the ques- tion, so it was planned to build one great building, large enough to meet all needs. The students almost forced the authorities to enlarge their plans, and backed their demands up with a $20,000 subscription. The x lumni who met at Dallas in February pledged $100,000 more. But the building is to cost $250,000; so a state-wide campaign for the other thou- sands is now being carried on with unparalleled success. The building itself is three stories high and has a basement. A gymnasium with all modern attachments, spacious library rooms, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and literary society halls, a magnificent auditorium, elaborate offices and reception parlors, publication rooms— everything wanted, has been provided for. But the most magnificent thing about this building is its Memorial dome, sixty-five feet square, with wings extending from every side. This dome is not a tinseled plate reflecting only rain-bow colors. It is the Westminster Abbey of Texas Methodism, sacred for whom it shall for- ever memorialize, grand for what it stands, and sublimely beautiful for its architecture and design. There is nothing like it in America. In it the aesthetic and the material are happily blended. THE TRUSTEES OF SOUTHV s  TE RN UNI VERSITY OFFICER M. M. Bkooks . . President James Campbell .

He graduated with first honors from Emory College, Oxford, Georgia, taking his A. M. degree from that institution. In 1900 he was honored with the degree of Doctor of Laws by Central College, Fayetteville, Mo. In 1882 he became Professor of Science in Southwestern University, and since that time has developed into one of the very foremost scientists of the South. He has repeatedly been offered higher paying positions in larger institutions, but has as often declared: I had rather make men than money. In 1898 he became Regent of Southwestern, and in 1906 his official title was changed to President. Under his administration Southwestern has progressed steadily, yet not slowly, from an obscure college to a University, whose graduates are known everywhere as winners of Rhodes ' scholarships. It was a great step — from the old Prep building to the Main Building of the University. Dr. Hyer was be- hind that move. The step that is now being made is pro- portionately gigantic, and Dr. Hyer is behind it. For al- most thirty years now he has placed his magnificent talents and scholarly attainments at the service of Southwestern. Today, a great scientist, a broad and deeply read scholar, a most eloquent, impressive, and tactful orator, a writer of no mean ability, a patriot, and a Christian gentleman, he stands more influential and greater than ever before. When the blood shall cease to course through his manly body, may his remains be laid to rest beneath the great Memorial Dome, which shall for generations to come tower as a monument to his energy and truly great character.

Ji 35 )il MEN OF SOUTHWESTERN A Sonnet (iREAT is Southwestern; great in iiol)le souls Who triumph e ' en in Britain far away, And other climes afar, where each now molds A people plastic by advancement ' s sway. • - ■- Great is Southwestern; great in friends and fame; Great in ideals that all the powers engage, And dissipate the low and idle aim, Imparting truth — Man ' s worthiest heritage. Whence comes this greatness? Whence the enlarging stream That bears such freight of noble lives untold ? Men of Southwestern ! men of worth supreme, Of sacrificing toil and heroic mold; These be the source of greatness, these the spring ' Of worth, to whom our homage we would bring. 36 J ' l .iU ' V ' ' •■ ' ki, SENIOR CLASS HISTORY THE PAST history of the Senior class is ahnost hidden by the mists of forget- fuhiess. We can scarcely remember that first year of college life when we felt our- selves the most insignificant and unnoticed beings on earth. Even the Sophomore stage, that rose-colored time when we be- lieved in ourselves as did no one else, is rather hazy in our memory. And so through Juniorhood; it was very satisfying to be really and truly upperclassmen, but even then our greatest happiness lay in an- ticipation of that glorious day when we should enter into all the dignity and privi- leges of Seniors. As for the class as it is now, is there anything wonderful about it! Probably BERTHA McKEE,i5d,7o.. not-thcrc scldom is, except in the class ' own estimation— and yet we have certain distinctions all our own. In the first place we have cut ourselves adrift from previous naughty classes. Any skeptics are referred to the Faculty for confirmation of this. As for our literary attainments, we need only mention those of our number who have been deemed worthy of receiving student assistant- ships. Not only are there more student assistants than from any former class, but they are doing work in more departments. Then the Senior class has taken a decided stand for freedom. This history would be incomplete without mentioning the social rights and privileges granted by the Faculty to Annex Seniors. This resulted di- rectly from the enterprise and perseverance of members of the class of ' 10. The Senior class feels that it is especially fortunate in its time of graduation, since this year has witnessed the consummation of plans for the great Memorial Hall. This class has been the first to speak for a memorial there. So much for loyalty and interest in the progress of our Alma Mater. Such are some of the characteristic attainments and sentiments of the Senior class. In estimating its general worth and attractiveness, we call to witness those who have come back to graduate over again in this class of 1910. 38 SENIOR ACADEMIC COLORS Pear 1 Gray and Royal Blue FLOWER Pansy MOTTO ■ a Non quid, sed quis FAD « Hat and Tie in Class Colors CLASS OFFICERS W.

The golden strands are pulled apart; And broken is the silver chain: Yet shall the memory remain, Of ties that bound us heart to heart. Some manly soul found one, perchance. Whose will was weak, who was not bold, And, reaching down to him, took hold To help him war with circumstance. Two maidens in their innocence. Through college life went arm in arm, And each to each they held the charm Which lies in spoken confidence. Or else some lass and lad joined hands To go along the rose-strewn way. Where night confounds itself with day. Which leads to distant wonde ' lands. And shall not these be loath to part. Or do they lack the pulsing throb Which chokes the throat up with a sob. And causes quiet tears to start ? For one of these, perhaps, shall go To make his home in foreign lands, Far from the clasp of friendly hands • . Of college mates who loved him so. For one may live; and one may die; A continent may lie between ; And two may meet; or all be seen: But some loved one will be not by. Thus shall we scatter far and wide. Across the mountains and the plains. Like mem ' ries of divinest strains When violins are laid aside. .•; Though chords he lost, ami linked note, The melody that bound them fast Throughout eternity shall last, Which on our common heart-strings smote. , ' E.

THE DASH OF THE GRAD BRIGADE In commemoration of the first grad party of 1910. Begging- tlie forgiveness of lovers of Tennyson. Quickly on, quickly on, To the party, onward; Into that whirl of girls. Dashed the grads undaunted. Forward the grad brigade! Charge for the doors, they said; Into that whirl of girls. Dashed the grads undaunted. II Forward the grad brigade! Was there a one afraid? Not though the Senior knew His presence was not wanted. Theirs not to slip on by. Theirs not to wonder why. Theirs but to swiftly fly; Into that whirl of girls Dashed the grads undaunted. Ill Hoyts-German around them, Hoyts-German behind them, Hoyts-German upon them, Everywhere haunted; Jeered at as powder fell. Swiftly they ran and well. Through that whirl of girls, Impossible to quell, Dashed the grads undaunted. IV Powder to right of them. Powder to left of them. Powder upon them. And the girls taunted. Plunging while powder fell. As under a magic spell. They that did run so well. By the mocking faces. Past the powder pourers. Dignity gone, but courage high. Dashed the grads undaunted. (Covered with powder white, Seniors were that night, Hoyts-German followed their flight, As on to the party. Went the grads undaunted: Through the Annex ranks they dashed. As Hoyts-German ' round them splashed, Grads and underclassmen, In gayest combat clashed ; Then the grads passed on. All the undaunted. VI When will their glory fade? O the mad dash they made! Everyone marveled, Honor the dash they made. Honor the grad brigade, Daring undaunted! ] FAREWELL OF THE SENIORS Farewell, farewell, oh mates of mine. Whose lives four years have blended; Farewell, farewell, oh mother o ' mine, Whose care o ' er ns is ended. Our last sweet year of study ' s run ; Life ' s car of action is here. Within thy walls our task is done, Oh, Alma Mater, dear. And these are they that from thy care, This year doth bid them go In life ' s broad fields to strive and dare. And daring, nobly do. There ' s laughing Alice, Italian maid. And Madge with golden hair, Gillette, H. W., the parson staid, Anita, so young and fair. And Deal who tries so hard to please The ladies with his grin; But Lindsay D., he takes his ease, Orates and hates women. And Josephine who sweetly rules Her world of admiring men. As lordly as Prof. Cole misrules Crip ' s preps, who laugh at him. Ay, Orpheus has his devotee ' Mong this receding throng. For Blanche Corry will play for thee. While Haygood sings a song. 59 111 ' iiL And Bess Orntchfield will di ' aw sucli stfiiiiis Fi ' oni her violin, at last The sol)ei- thoug ' hts in Weavei ' ' s brains Will take a gentler cast. Oh, quaint old villag ' e of Georgetown, Whose rocks are known so well, Thy children, talkative (rowan, Martha, sweet Asphodel; Ahiia who gave the first party To grads of nineteen ten; Jeston Dickey, pleasant and busy, Linstruni, no flirt, we ken; And Marguerite who talks first rate. And pouting Ada Mae; Sansom, our poet laureate. Yet not averse to play. All these, and others who live in town. Unite to bid farewell To her who from yon hill looks down, And seems to cast a spell. And ' round her stately walls a gleam And halo Al l)ie throws. But real enough to Blanche Profs seem, As through the halls she goes. On the road half-way to the village, The Mess Hall tow ers all day ; And there Bill Oarrison, the sage, Speaks why he thinks this way. Condron, thoughtful, and Tom, cynical, And quiet Tyty Mayes, All come to say a last farewell And add their words of praise. 60 There ' s Clem, the maid with voice so vare, So gentle and shy of men, And Mattie Sue, so sweetly fair, In this class of nineteen ten. ' Tis Kelly the passing years have taught To worship at love ' s shrine; For Weisser ' tis only the star of thought That doth in beauty shine. Mood Knowles is here and smiling yet, A likeness of funny Jim; From Logan, though, no smile you ' ll get. For there is none in him. A lift of the lashes, a dainty smile. And Eula Mae is here. To thank with words of love the while Her Alma Mater dear. And Fay, abrupt in speech and frank. Will tell you what she thinks. And Dobie anyone will thank. Who ' ll straighten Annual kinks. Here ' s Hyder who writes for the magazine, And chews his gum with zest; Pearce is an excellent talking machine. They say who know him best. Some fifteen years or more ago, A freshman shy was he— This year Stanford returned, a beau, His object — matrimony. Sure, Morphis is a funny lad. He kept his picture out ; Moose, who is neither old nor sad. Quietly will laugh or pout. liL Now Carter is quite young in years, In experience quite old ; When near a Field he will shed tears, But near the C oach, how cold! Miss Bessie Craig ' s another M. A.; At Southwestern, quoth she, As years go by and here I stay, I ' ll take my Ph. D. And then there ' s Bertha, of form so slight. Of countenance so sweet. And tresses that are of twilight. And mind with poetry replete. . ■ 0, list a while and you shall hear Huckabee ' s persuasive drone, Debating on themes to him so dear, In slow, long drawn-out tone. And Ben McLain of argument fond. Even though vanquished, will As the schoolmaster yet responds. Take heart, and argue still. Bessie Carothers, a town girl famed. Whose favorite study ' s not books, Of her love for Nature is ne ' er ashamed. And she ' s very fond of Brooks. A vision clear to us you ' ve brought Of life at its highest, best. Of noble action and lofty thought, Of life on honor ' s quest. And half-reluctantly we say. Farewell, Southwestern, to you; And give you now, as we will alway ' . The love and rev ' rence due. I II €3 U JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Miss Charlie Eanes, Editor TRK HISTORY of our class may be related by observing the (livisions of time — ancient, medijeval, and modern. It is a difficult task to recount the events which occurred during- the first pe- riod of our history, for the records are now dim with age and moth-eaten. I was as early as ' 04 that some of our tribe settled in a country called Preplaud and among its verdant ijastures acquired a Ijetter civili .ation. After a few years we began to look with longing eyes across the rocky coun- ti-y between Prei)land and a fertile re- gion called Collegeland. In the fall of , ' 07 with our number reinforced by people from the Lands of High School, we captured a large part of Collegeland. We had now entered upon the second period of our history, the medi;eval, which embraces the years of ' 07 and ' 08. At first we settled in Freshmen State and our neighbors called us Freshy. With our large number we captured the wisemen (Profs.) of the country and com- pelled them to instruct us in all their lines of knowledge. Soon the wise- men rebelled and sent upon us a plague called Final Exams, of which we died by the scores. Those of us who survived went to dwell in Sophomore State. We were now wise because of our experience with the wisemen, and so we used freely two herbs, cramming and digging, which were said to keep off the teri-ible result of the plague. During this period we grew in wisdom and influence, and had representa- tives in many parts of the organizations of the land. It was in ' 09 that we entered our most prosperous and productive period — the modern. Thirty-two members of our tribe had survived all trials and had become thoroughly acclimated in Collegeland. We are now known as Juniors, and are very influential citizens. From our people ambassadors have been sent to represent the country in religious affairs, on athletic fields, and in debates. We have among us members of the council of public safety or honor council. One of our number is a noted poet, and many others hold responsible positions on the publi- cations of Collegeland, in the football and baseball troops, and in the various societies of our country. We have a very good record in the books of the wisemen and hope to keep them when we go to dwell in Senior State, which is a land of privileges and in which we will leave some lasting monuments. 64 JUNIOR CLASS COLORS White and Purple FLOWERS Violets MOTTO We are owl right TAD Signet Kings YELL Freshmen!

We are not so boastful as to say that we excel them to such a degree, al- though it is granted that a Sophomore ' s strain should be sophomorically presump- tions. In spite of the fact that we would not be in the least lonesome in this condi- tion, we are not at all presumptions and it only goes to prove what exceptional (inalities we have. Our perseverance and ambition have brought us back for another year ' s work, even after a year of trials aud hardships as Freshmen. Indeed, we of the white-and-maroon hats, have two members who are Seniors in other departments, one in piano, the other in expression. From the stand-point of Sophomore English, we would say that so far this has been an informal exposition, with a little of description. There needs to be no argumentation, while a narration of our good works would be much too long. Then, as a peroration, let us prophesy a return of every member to form the acme class of Juniors.

We do not agree with those who say that Freshmen are thing ' s — indispensable and unavoidable things with no weight nor place in college life; for our class is a great one. Would you see the Freshman in all his glory? Ah! he is an intangible reality. The Sophomore cannot with his experi ence and enlightment, nor the Junior with his mathematical formulae, nor the Senior by processes both physical and chemical, ascertain to any degree of cer- tainty the marvelous possibilities of one of our number, much less of the twice four score and ten of us. How impossible, then, it is for one person to chronicle our deeds and honors! A class member has said: We are seen of men with no small degree of admiration ; we cause deep and serious thought among the Faculty ; at our bidding there is something doing in Southwestern. We are made somewhat like other people; we run in droves and are envied by those of less, though of seemingly greater magnitude. We are a serious body with wonderful talents which we do not lay up in heaps of rubbish for thieves to bear away. We do not shrink from our obligations nor fall from rank. We go forward (except at the hands of the Profs). We are only beginners. That we do our share of student activities can be seen by pointing out our men and women ; that we are loyal to our University is shown by our manifest enthusiasm and our substantial gift for a Greater Southwestern.

II 99 ALAMO HISTORY A FABLK N( ' E upon a time there eaine up out of the wilds into the couuti-y of Southwestern a Youth. His hail ' was i-ed like the setting sun, and the mural decoration of his face was like unto the adorn- ment of a guinea-fowl ' s egg. Furthei ' more, his feet and hands weie sadly in the majority, and his knees seemed willing to bestow upon one another the kiss of brotherly affection. Now out into the wilds, under the arching, sunny skies, the Youth has learned many wise things from the colts and the calves and tliepigs and the billy-goats and the lonesome old frogs that sang him to sleep on hot, summer nights, and one thing he had learned above all others was caution. So it happened that when a certain Wise(!) Guy, deceived by the innocent expression in his cerulean eyes, piped in an insinuat- ing voice: Of course, you will join the San Jacks, the Youth gently intimated that he was from Missouri. Thus he was plucked as a l)rand from the burning and became a loyal Alamo. Then the Wise(?) Guy, and the other Wise(?) Guys, sneered at him and said, You ' re welcome to the scarecrow. But the heart of tlie Youth was the heart of a hero, and he buckled down to work; and there grew up a coldness l etween his knees; and his feet and hands began to take a less promi- nent place in his life; and his voice grew strong and firm until it sounded like the boom of thunder on the distant hills, and at times it was soft and tender like the cooing of turtle-doves in the summer twilight, or the gentle plash of pearling streams in shady glens where lovers linger. Then, one day, the Wise( ? ) Guy and the other San Jacks came boastingly up into the land of the Alamos and said, Verily, we will have scalps. But he who was a scarecrow and had become a warrior, rose up and smote them hip and thigh, and they fled away never to return, into the land of Evil Dreams, whence Hows that river which is called Salt.

On March 19, 1875, at a meeting, presided over by Dr. Mood, of the students of South- western, then known as Texas University, the society was organized. The first meetings were lield each Friday night in some class room of the old Fitting School building, which was then but a two story building. Later a joint society hall for the two socie- ties was erected but was soon demolished by a storm. The work done then was excellent and every applicant for membership was passed upon by a committee, before he was admitted. One of the questions of those days was that of the advisability of permitting the young ladies of the Annex to receive company. The judges deemed it inadvis- able. Of the prominent men who were invited to address the society, we find the name of Hon. Jefferson Davis. However, there is no record of his acceptance. Of the members of our society in its infancy, we now find them everywhere in the forefront, as ministers, as pro- fessors, as college presidents, as members of the legislature, as members of congress and everywhere prominent in public life. At the present time two of them are battling for the Lieutenant Governorship of our state. Of our more recent sons, we find three of them at that ancient seat of learning, Oxford, leading their fellows, both in the class room and upon the athletic field. So much for the past. As to the piesent sous of San Jacinto: they are working hard, and the muses of the future will chronicle their deeds and achievements. Eaymond a.

The Chairman of the Committee is elected one year from the Alamo society, and the next from the San Jacinto. They select the course, do all the adver- tising, and rush the sale of tickets just as the manager does of a Chautauqua in any town or city. But they get nothing ' for their ser- vices except criticism from the Fine Arts Department, if an attraction does not prove to be up to the standard. The course is always selected with two ends in view — to please as many as possible and to clear a little money. What is over and above expenses at the end of the year is given to the literary societies. If it were to come out in debt, the societies would have to make up the deficit; but this is seldom the case. The course this year consisted of Sen. Robt. L. Taylor, Scotch Singers, Byron C. Piatt, Ralph Bingham, Roney ' s Boy ' s Concert Co., Madame Ellen Beach Yaw, Toronto Male Quartette, and Walden, the Magician. While this course has not in every case pleased all of the people, nor could any course do that, yet the majority of attractions has been entirely satisfactory. Be he one who is charmed by the beauty of language; or a lover of the melody of voices; or a sane and logical thinker; or one who prefers to laugh till he cries ; one who loves to be borne aloft by the strains of a single voice; or on e who enjoys the things that delight the eye, yet deceive the reason — surely that man was not disap- pointed in this course. .;; I ■ MARSHALS OFFICERS ORATORICALAS so CIATION 1.

This is the second year of the Young Women ' s Chris- tian Association in Southwestern University. Its main purpose is to make Christ real to the girls who come here to school. It has grown materially and spiritually this year. There are now 110 girls enrolled in the Association. Seventy- five of these are in Bible and Mission Study classes. Del- egates were sent to the Rochester Convention and to the State Convention at San Marcos. The greatest blessing, perhaps, which the Association has received during the year was the visit made to it by Miss Ruth Paxson, National Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement. During her short stay of two days the As ' ociation, as a whole, was strengthened, while indi- vidually the girls caught a vision of Christ as poitrayed in her life. It is impossible to review in this space the past suc- cesses of the Association or to sketch its future. But the good results of this year ' s work have made possible the greatest success in the work of the coming years. May we, as an Association, give to the Lord our praise and service accordingly as he has prospered us. Maey McLean. COUNCIL OF HONOR 146 THE COUNCIL OF HONOR ! « ! 1 f: W. E.

Satteefielu Eula Gose The Council of Honor is a student organization con- sisting of a president elected from the Senior Class by the Students ' Association and of eight representatives — a young lady and a young man from each class. Its object is to co-operate with the faculty in its efforts to develop the highest sense of honor among the student body. It proposes to stop cheating in recitation or examination, and to rebuke any dishonorable act brought to its notice. Happily, it is seldom called upon to exercise its functions. :147 STUDENTS ' ASSOCIATION OFFICERS 1. L. D. Hawkins 3. Madge Hendey 2. 0. E. LiNSTEUM President Secretary Treasurer 148 u 149 ISO A. A.

FAD Red eyes and bay windows. This Ancient, August, Amalgamated, Association of Alcoholic Annihilators has twenty-two members, all having one aim, that is, to destroy as much strong drink as possible. ' ' The association has labored in conjunction with the Prohibition League in all its branches and has probably done more to free our fair Southland from the clutches of that most fearful monster, Strong Drink, than any other organization. Not by vain words, as those of Father Gillette, nor by rash acts, such as those of Carrie Nation, do the members of this association go about doing good; but it is by their remarkable personality and great capacity that they accomplish their end. Membership to this association is limited to those who can down one keg of beer, one quart of whiskey, two bottles of Peruna, and not less than twenty-seven cokes at one sitting.

Our members— a con- glomerate bunch of preps, under-classmen, one Senior, frats, barbs, lovers, women haters, athletes, bookworms, and flunk- ers — are united in the one purpose of raising a rough house. So well do we succeed that every night Prof. Pegues awakens from troubled dreams to murmur: The bulls are bellowing again; no use, I ' ll try to sleep. The bulls are always in the public eye. Recently Venus went mad when some one waved a red rag under his nose, and depopulated the hall; Pete and Bigfoot are well known at the State University, where they bellowed so loud that they busted; Nuts is in love with twins and can ' t tell them apart; Blackie, Ballen, and Uvalde, our ladies ' men, have new sweethearts every week; while the girls simply won ' t leave Cutey and Rufus alone. Next year this bull pen will be no more; some of us will (try to) whip small preps for bellowing; others are going to get up our entrance credits in Public Schools; while still others are longing for life on the farm. But may the remainder return to form another Bull Pen as notorious and as happy as this! c OS w o w o b w -: !1 u R a a rS • g H S g C 2; W I-, ?

The clnb sij -iiiti ' s the tool that is used Oil publishers who ' re considered a pest. The term Press signifies their continual state, ov tliey ' re pressed for material early and late. And at the end of the month when the bills roll in They ' re pressed for money again and again. The Megaphone ' s pressed every week, for we hear Their call for news, news, both far and near; Then the magazine presses its pitiful cry For literature, literature, or else it will die. And from the Annual, the whole year round — - Me thinks now I liear that continual sound Of grinds, grinds, stories and jokes. Pictures and clubs, till the whole school goes broke. But — what makes the y)ublic sentiment? What coins the public mind! ' Tis the writings and sayings the Press Club gathers That makes sentiment of the very best kind. Of course on vital questions. On this day and the next one to come. The editor must exi)ress his sentiment And convince the minds of some. He ' ll write in letters underscored Or perhaps in red ones bright, • The University shall not be moved And the public will say, That ' s right. - ■ So hei-e ' s to the crowd that ' s Pressed and Clubbed, But the crowd with oi inions strong; Here ' s to the staff that can smile tlirough troubles. And meet their lulls with a song. And when thelast call from the Megaphone ' s answei ' ed. When the Magazine and Annual are all done up brown, They ' ll soar and soar to etherial regions And find innumerable stars in their crown. nu siCAiv OBGANIZilTiONS 175 I A SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB E.

WHITCOMB, W. E. WOODS, H. D. WORD, R. H. COACH ARBUCKLE If Southwestern has done anything creditable in ath- letics in the past two years, the glory is first of all Coach Arbuckle ' s. The coach is fond of all athletics, but foot ball is his long suit. His style of play is original and daring — he is a constructing tactician; no copied methods for him. His idle moments are given to evolving new formations, and in fact, he figures out plays in his sleep. i CAPTAINS AND MANAGERS FOK ' 09- ' 10 FOOT BALL IN 1909 HE foot ball season of 1909, although not entirely satisfactory, np was an improvement over 1908. Although its defeats were more numerous than its victories, yet its fiual triumph was so great as to make us forget the earlier misfortunes. We do not wish to assume the attitude of explaining away, or of apologizing for our defeats. When we are licked, we are licked, and don ' t waste time explaining why, but rather in getting ready for the next time. Yet a few comments may not be amiss. Peacock certainly caught us napping in our opening practice game. Our men were new, and some of them were rattled — just bewild- ered, and before we could settle down, they had our scalp. We had made a lot of improvement by the time the Texas game came off, and our boys acquitted themselves nobly, but Texas was loaded and got her reveuge for our victory of the year before. The score 12-0 however, was creditable — a smaller score than Texas rolled up against either T. C. U. or Trinity. We got another jolt at Waxahachie. They were just bound to have that game, and we didn ' t have the heart to disappoint them. Chick McLain was there, and w as engaged as an official . He was not exactly a favorite with the Trinity side lines, but by using tact and diplomacy came off unscathed. It is said some folks got a little worked up over that game. Then we played T. C. U. at Dallas. As we said before, we are not seeking to detract from the glory of our opponents ' victories, but we will say we are sorry that it rained. The field was heavy, and a light team, which depends upon speed, is always at a disadvantage on that kind of field. Then we had two tie games at home. The Austin College game was listless, and the Austin College Coach said to Mr. Arbuckle after the game, We are both to be congratulated — on not losing. That sums it up pretty well. Trinity came down one day, and the Katy Limited was so late that the halves had to be shortened— so that there was no scoring done. 191 Then came some hard practice, and then some real laurels. To properly appreciate the significance of the Tnlane game, you ought to know that Texas played Tulane about ten days before we did. Score, 10-10. There is no use denying it— mostdopists gave TuJane that game- nobody was down to tell the team good-bye — but everybody was there to meet the team when it came home. For in New Orleans on Thanksgiving Day every man did his duty. Did hef You ought to rea l the Times-Democrat and the Picayune on that subject. They said they ' d seen Texas and Alabama, Louisiana and Sewanee, but they were all H. S. class. Southwestern looked like they ' d always, since childhood ' s early day, imagined Harvard and Yale performing on that last Saturday before Thanksgiving. The score doesn ' t indicate the decisiveness of that defeat, but it would have been 24-0 in about three i)lays more. It was very satisfying, and some day we will repeat the performance. And that some day is mighty likely to be Oct. 8, 1910. For we are going to have a world-beater next year — if all the fellows show up next fall who ' ve promised. Everybody ' s coming back. And such a lot of scrubs as got some football education! Ayevs, Masterson, Whitcomb, Crozier, Grimes, McLain, and a baker ' s dozen others are just ready to jump for a vacant berth. We just can ' t see anything but defeat for Texas next year, or for anybody else who ties up with Southwestern. But no foot ball review would be complete without mentioning the work of Prof. McGinnis as coach and of Jim Harrell as manager. Prof. McGinnis took the scrubs in hand and for six weeks lived for and with them. The result was that we had the best scrub team we have ever had, and had it not been for the hard practice the scrubs gave the first team there would never have been any Tulane victory. If Mac makes his Freshmen English pets work as hard and as efficiently as he did the scrubs, Southwestern will soon be the center of literary experts. Jim is a mighty good manager— not too proud or too lazy to carry water or put down lime. The boys liked him so well as manager, that they gave him a second term. But ask Jim how it feels to be the man- ager when the association ' s about five hundred in the hole. 192 FROM THE NEW ORLEANS PAPERS Tulane ' s foot ball team bucked abuzz-saw when it tackled the team from the Southwestern University of Texas, yesterday afternoon, on Tulane Campus, and thereby hangs the tale of the most ignominious defeat the Olive and Blue has suffered in many a season, the Texans winning by a score of 18 to 0. Tulane may have worked as earnestly and as capably as ever before during the season which came to a close yesterday, but their work, as compared to that of the visitors was lamentably weak. They were out- classed, out-speeded, and out-played at almost every stage of the game and only twice succeeded in working the ball up to a point where the Texas goal line was in the slightest danger. The boys from Southwestern went through their line like battering rams and sprinted around their ends at such superior speed as to make the Olive and Blue runners look like novices in the sprinting line. In all truth, the eleven f rom South- western appeared by comparison, far and away the fastest and strongest team Tulane had played against during the season of 1909. Their team work was as admirable as Tulane ' s was weak and uncertain, and they put into their work all that spirit, dash, and determination, which characterizes the real game. The Dally States. The Texans were fast and furious in their plays, and their interfer- ence was brilliant. The team worked together in a style not shown this year in New Orleans. The Times-Democrat. Full back Headrick of Southwestern anxiously inquired yesterday, how in the world did Tulane manage to tie the University of Texas some weeks ago. We did not hear any good Samaritan try to explain.

BOUT WELL: Played in the line, and behind the line; picked up the appellation of Bottle at Austin, and it stuck. For a first year man his record is a good one. •2. BROWNFIELD: Brownfield had hard luck just before the big game. But he is an aggressive man and will get his next year. He has few equals at end and no superiors. DOWNS: Succeeded Gen. Andy Jackson to the title ' ' Hero of New Orleans. ' ' ' ' Some wonder how Downs broke into the big print that day. Some say Coach told him something just before the big game. But sh-h ! don ' t ask him what. 195 1. HEADRICK: Captain-elect will probably never know how big and strong he is. But some other folks know. Ask anybody who has tried to stop him after he has got steam np. In other words, ask the scrubs, or some of the inmates of the Tulane Hospital on Nov, 27, 1909. 2. HENDERSON: Played so many positions so well that it worked against him. The coach liked to hold him in reserve. But he got into all the big ones before they were over and wanted to whip somebody every time. A noted author of new yells. HENDRIX: The Billij Sumlaij of the gridiron; plucky to the last ditch; a dependable line man. Joe always says his man is easy. 1. McHENRY : The New Orleans papers said he was the fastest man in foot ball togs in the south. He makes just as good a hit with us. Slippery as an eel, and speedy as a molly-cotton tail. Next year ' s quarter, according- to the dope sheet. MICKLE, Uncle Billy: Rather fastidious in the matter of avoirdupois —for a guard, but his red hair more than makes up for the lack of adipose. Usually grins, but has been known to get his back up and want to whip the earth. 3. MITCHELL: Plays as hard as he talks— and faith, that ' s putting it strongly. An uncrowned king of the gridiron, and deserving a number of special notices the other fellow got. 1. PARR: Slow, perhaps, but steady. Plays with his head and is usually there when the ball is loose. Pulled off a foi ' ty-yarder against Texas by just such tactics. SNIPES: A two-year hero — the idol of the side-lines and the terror of the foe. Always on the job and always on the spot; with the eyes of the Annex always on him. The best in the country, when it comes to defensive foot ball. STRANGE, Dutch: Parental interference spoiled Dutch ' s season, but he had a lot of fun anyway. If father will be kind, he will be a valuable asset next year, and there is really no danger, for Dutch ' s extremes are so closely knit together, a blow from a trip- hammer wouldn ' t uncouple him. L ku THOMPSON : A tackle whose career was meteoric. Came out for the Feather-weights on Monday. Promoted to the Scrubs on Tues- day and played with the Varsity on Wednesday. Summoned the bell-boy at the Grunewald, ' ' What is it for you, sir! asks Buttons. Sit down, kid, I just wanted somebody to talk to. I VAUGHAN: Tommy didn ' t care for foot-ball at first, but when he was converted, he got a good case of foot-ball fever. A foxy end, and good ground gainer. VOIGT : It took Voigt a long time to get started, but he came into his own at last. Destined to be a star of the first magnitude. 199 200 BASE BALL TEAM ' 09 WINNERS OF THE S C. C. McLain Sam Ayees .

One of the objects of the association is to get a larger num- ber of girls interested in athletics. Up to this time only a very small minority have taken part in any games, but in- terest is being awakened. 213 BASKET BALL N the fall of VM) a number of young men organ- ized an independent basket ball club, and arranged a court on the Mood Hall campus. A great deal of interest was aroused and a fair- ly good team was picked out. J . R. Allen, who had played with Allen Academy team, and Earl Hanson and Jack French of Marshall ' s School, were a strong trio to begin with. The first game was played with the Deaf and Dumb Institute on Thanksgiving, and the S. U. boys were easily victorious. Later on a return game was played, and again the Deaf boys were defeated, this time the victory being more decisive than the first. After the Christmas holidays the University of Texas came over and defeated our boys. An extensive schedule was arranged, but owing to lack of opportunity to practice, the games had to be cancelled. The boys made such a good showing that The Athletic Association decided to take the club under its wing for 1910-11 and in the future S. U. will be represented with a first-class basket ball squad. The following composed the team: J. R. Allen, Captain Earl Hanson J. T. French N. Y. Henry E. M. Westbrook J. C. Snipes W. M. Headrick W. L. Grace Earl Hufeor, Manager GYMNASIUM WORK YY E had somewhere in the neighbor- hood of 200 men at work in the Gym- nasium this year, about 160 of whom were Freshmen who were compelled to take the work; the remaining 40 were advanced students, taking the work because they wished to do so. Of these 160 men, 154 satisfactorily completed the work and received credit for the same. Of the re- maining 6, two failed to receive credit for the work because they left school. Only one failed because of cutting classes. Of the 40 who took advance work, every one completed a satisfactory year ' s work and received full credit for the same. Through- out the six years that the Gymnasium has been founded, 8 boys have worked faithfully all the time and have developed wonderfully, all the way from scrawny, knock-kneed, flop-eared shavers to about the strongest men in schools, physically. One boy came to me last year with asthma so firmly ahold of him that he could scarcely do the work. He finished the year ' s wor k with flying colors and seems to be entirely cured. One of the most phenomenal cases on record is that of the little boy who presented himself for work this year with a body so lamed by a fall in infancy, that he could scarcely support his head upon it. He insisted on doing the work right along with the other boys, and did it in the finest fashion. When the running season came around, he developed abnormal proportions as a runner, and was put on the team. When the hurdle races came off, he was among the contestants. He struck the first hurdle, fell and rolled completely over, got up, and then won the race. Thus may earnest gymansium work aid anyone. As a closing statement, let me tell you of a plan or two that I have developed on the quiet. Next year, instead of working indoors, I am going to take the teams out on the fields for outdoor events, select the best men and turn them over to the Coach to make material for the team, and then work the remaining boys on the apparatus and on out-of-doors-walks.

This stands for the fact that out of two hundred and twenty-five Freps we are to be the college men next year. Often have we been tempted to give up the struggle, Vjut when we look back and see what our re- ward is going to be, that of a college man next year, we do not regret the many days spent in preparation this year. We do not feel our year spent in the Prep this year to be all in vain for several reasons. First, the imlisliment and refinement we have re- ceived from our Instructors as well as from other sources. Second, the ma.ny things that we have accomplished, as shown from our grades, and the young ladies and young gentlemen that we will give to the college. Third, on ac- count of spending this year in the Prep we will know bet- ter what will be required of us in the College next year; with all these advantages the dignified air that we will walk up and down the college halls will warn our fellow and former Preps not to speak to us. The next question that now arises is: what will our future be? But I will refrain from making any prophecies and will only wait and let the future speak for itself. Jno. B.

McREYNOLDS, M. S., M. D., LL. D., of Dallas, is kuowQ as a famous specialist in diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat, as a distinguished scholar and scientist, and as dean of the Southwestern University Medical Colleg-e. In view of the fact that he is still in the early forties his achievements in scholarship and original research are remarkable. In re- gard to Dr. McReynolds ' achievements in this field it is generally admitted that in recent years one of the most notable contributions to the science of ophthalmology is his operation for pterygia which throughout the medical world now bears his ' name. It was originally demonstrated by Dr. McReynolds in 1902; officially reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association in August of that year; and is now quoted in the leading text books both of America and of Europe. Since beginning the practice of his specialty. Dr. McReynolds has never failed to apply and develop his gifts as an original investigator, and his voluminous, but clearly expressed, papers giving the details of his experiments, operations, and treatment, are eagerly sought by those de- sirous of obtaining valuable data relating to ophthalmology, rhinology, otology and laryngology. He is past vice-president and chairman of the western section of the American Laryngological, Rhinological, and Oto- logical Society, his fellowship in the national organization being con- ferred in recognition of his original contributions to the medical sciences named. He is also a fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Oto-Laryngology, as well as of a large number of other scientific so- cieties, and is a frequent and valued contributor to the technical journals of his profession. In the field of professional education lie is widely known as the founder of the Southwestern University Medical College of Dallas, of which he is both dean and professor of Ophtlialmology. From the first he has been the mainstay of this institution now so well estab- lished, and in the preliminary workof placing it on a solid foundation, has made most generous expenditures of his private means. For many years he has been consulting oculist for the Rock Island, Texas Paf ific, and the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe Railways. 329 Dr. McKeynolds obtained most of his uou-professioual education in the LTniversity of Kentucky, or, as it was formei ' ly known, the Transyl- vania University. From that institution he obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Master of Science, and subsequently, after he had obtained his high professional standing, his alma mater conferred the degree of LL. D. upon him. That this was an honor may be inferred from the fact that old Transylvania had previously conferred but ten honorary degrees of this character during the one hundred years of its life. Among their recipients being Judge Jeremiah S. Black, of Penn- sylvania, and James Lane Allen, of New York. For a short while after leaving the University Dr. McEeynolds taught mathematics and the nat- ural sciences at Burritt College, Tennessee, and upon coming to Dallas in 1887, he taught mathematics and astronomy in the Dallas High School, but did not become a permanent resident of Dallas until 1892. In 1891 Dr. McReynolds graduated with first honors from the Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore, having also pursued regu- lar courses in the Bellevue Hospital Medical College of New York. Since graduation he has taken much post-graduate work in the clinical schools of Baltimore, New York, and Chicago. For one year following his grad- uation from the College of Physicians and Surgeons he served as resi- dent physician at the Baltimore City Hospital, and after completing his service in this institution he established himself in the practice of his specialties in Dallas. In the midst of a large and constantly grow- ing practice, and his efforts as an investigator, and the responsibilities of his collegiate work, he made three trips abroad — the first in 1893-4 and the last in 1908— for the purpose of study and research in the great Euro- pean centers of the medical and surgical sciences, London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. On one of his trips to Paris Dr. McReynolds made, upon the request of Tscherning, the first English translation from the French of Tscherning ' s Theory of Accommodation, which was published by the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1894. While in that city he also received the benefit of association and with study Dr. R. Liebrich, one of the fathers of Opthalmological Science and a collab- orator of Von Helmholtz and Von Graefe in laying the foundation of its literature. . - ■ FACULTY OFFICERS R. S. Hyee, a. M., L.

T. 263 WINNERS OF THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS KL SOUTHWESTERN ' S RHODES SCHOLARS ERHAPS it is not generally known that, since the inauguration of the Rhodes Scholarship system, Texas has sent only five Rhodes Scholars to Oxford. But Southwestern knows, and is very proud of the fact, that out of that five three are her sons. This means that before a tribunal, composed of the Presidents of Southwestern, Baylor, and Texas, Universities, students from the various educational institutions of the state appeared, and at the last three exami- nations a Southwestern man was each time judged most worthy of the high honor that a Rhodes Scholarship confers upon one. No words here could add to the glory or honor of these young men. The fact that they have fairly won, over so many others, and after such rigid and all-embracing exami- nations, a scholarship to Oxford speaks volumes. Suffice it to say that they are reflecting, to a degree that few have re- flected, honor upon their alma mater. Albert G. Sanders, A. B. ' 04, son of Prof. Samuel G. Sanders, was the first Southwestern man to capture the cov- eted prize. He will return this fall with his degree from Oxford. T. Jeff Mosley, A. B. ' 07, one to whom the word brilliant in its correct use applies, was the next appointee to Oxford, and is completing his second year. McDougal K. McLain, whose father, Dr. McLain, was once President of Southwestern University, secured his ap- pointment recently, and will fill the place to be vacated by Sanders. ti V- 5 £ o a w t Q i O CO a.  .

(Praise fairly well deserved, no doubt) Forgetting, meanwhile, all about Its manufacture; 1 admire This disposition, but inquire Why you should scott at skin and wire! My banjo here deserves more praise Than all the lyres ever saw; Let P. Apollo wear his bays. He can ' t play Turkey in the Straw. The Traveller of Arkansaw, Is easy, if the artist plays The Banjo; but such pleasing lays Ne ' er woke the lyre in Phoebus ' days. And so, as I sit by the fire, I would give not a cuss for your lyre. As 1 whang and pluck and twang, As I pick and scrape and bang. Strains celestial from my old Banjo; When I touch its cords and play Care and sorrow drift away On the ripples of its music ' s silver flow. 2 70 With its quick, harmonious jingle All my being seems to mingle, And my fingers fairly tingle. As they ply Their congenial task of pressing, Gently stroking, or caressing Chords that with their meed of stressing Swell, or die. i When the cost of living doubles Some poor wretches drown their troubles By imbibing deep the bubbles Of strong drink ; But when my landlady rages. When my tailor duns for wages, Is it wine my grief assuages! I don ' t think! When my brow is creased with sorrow, When I cannot beg or borrow, Debts just eighteen months tomorrow In arrears. To my Banjo then I hurry To dispel ))iy care and worry; At its tinkle every wrinkle Disappears. So, howe ' er you may admire Fabled lute or classic lyre. You should rate the Banjo higher, I contend ; As a source of consolation. Peace and joyful inspiration It will hold its reputation To the End. 271 NONE BLT THE BRAVE DESERVE THE FAIR ( )M strolled down the hall of the University feeling rathei- blue.

His hopes fell. Disgusted, he threw his cigarette down and turned away. He really didn ' t see why the boys couldn ' t come. It looked as if boys, ought to have as much fun as girls. He continued his walk down the hall. Suddenly he stopped and glanced reproachfully at the bulletin-board. He then thought of the matron. He wondered if she were the cause of it. None of the fair sex had ever got the best of him yet, and he did not intend that this matron should. He resolved to go. He remembered that Kate Long had told him that there was to be a mask party soon, and that she was going as a nun. He didn ' t see why there couldn ' t be two nuns. He knew John Howard would let him use his senior gown and Jimmie Galloway had a dandy black muffler that he could put on his head. If all these things put together, with him inside, wouldn ' t make a nun, he didn ' t know what would. He wondered if Kid Burns wouldn ' t go with him, because he coul d have a lot more fun, and then, if he was caught, there would be someone to share the trouble. He hurried to Kid ' s room, explained the matter and asked Kid ' s approval. Kid took to it at once, and having just taken up entomology, he pictured himself as a butterfly. But Tom, how are we going to get in! Don ' t trouble yourself, I have that all planned out. I know the cook, or rather her kinfolks — slightly kin, don ' t you know? I think he was her second cousin ' s son. But I don ' t know anybody she knows — but say! isn ' t that old Mr. Steele the janitor! I know him. Keckon she will let me in on that! Yes, she ' s easy. We can fix it up. You just get something to wear and we ' ll be on hand. Seven o ' clock saw Tom dressed in his sober gown, with crucifix and prayer book near at hand. He was doing his best to put on the mild countenance of a nun, but in vain. His wide mouth refused to be put in- to a dainty pucker. His red complexion was entirely unwilling to accept the coats of powder so patiently applied. He was about to give up in despair, when a series of blankety-blanks from the next room told him that Kid, too, was in trouble. He went to the door and opened it. Tom! Tom! What ' s the matter with this blamed thing! There stood the miserable Kid, in the costume of a butterfly, but in his haste he had put it on wrong side before. Tom smiled, then looked grim. First, Kid, your style of architecture isn ' t exactly adjustable to that of a butterfly. In the second place, you have got the thing on the wrong way. Then you ' re too fat; I ' m afraid you will give us away; you look more like a june-bugthan any butterfly I ever did see. Poor Kid sank down in the nearest chair. Tom, you go on to the thing. I ' ll just have to stay at home. I can ' t fix this blooming thing, anyway. Besides, I ' ll mash these wings when I put my overcoat on. Wish I hadn ' t rented this costume, anyhow— it took the last of the check father sent yesterday. Cheer up. Kid, I guess maybe it could be worse. Here, I ' ll help you. Give me that string and I ' ll have you fixed in two seconds. Soon afterward, two dark figures stole out of Mascott Hall, and keeping in the friendly shadows of the trees, and avoiding the street lamps on the corners, they made their way to the rear entrance of the Seminary. Leaving Kid in the shadows of the woodshed, Tom crept cau- tiously up to the kitchen door and knocked. Aunt Polly came to the door with a cross expression on her face. Howdy, Aunt Polly. Say, I got a letter from Sam the other day. Aunt Polly ' s face instantly lighted up with pleasure, and Tom, taking advantage of his opportunity, edged his way into the kitchen. Lawd, chile, does you know Sam! I shore is glad to see you. Set down. Yes, don ' t you remember he used to work for us when we lived in Madisonville? But I just can ' t stay. I ' m in an awful hurry, and besides there ' s a fellow outside waiting for me. Then he revealed his plans to her. Course, I ' ll let you in, honey. But don ' you tell nobody, ' cause I might lose my job. I couldn ' t turn nobody down that knowed Sam. After thanking her, Tom opened the door and whistled softly. Kid instantly appeared and, together, they quickly stole their way up to the 273 top stovy, wliere the party was to be held. There they beheld bright figures strolling about among the palms. When the two made their appearance a hush settled on the crowd. AV. the Seminary girls had been recognized and the appearance of these two strange figures caused amazement. Then the girls crowded around them. Kid became frightened, and he got closer and closer to Tom. But the girls would not leave. They were determined to find out who these newcomers were. Some one suggested that tliey might be day pupils, but that was quickly contradicted, because only two day pupils were coming and they were going to come late, just in time for the unmasking. Unmasking!! Kid became more frightened. Tom had not told him of this. He knew he would be found out, and his demerits were none too few now. At this point Kid found himself edging for the stairs. He was just about to make a dive for the first landing, when a slender little Bo-Peep came up and said: Aren ' t you Kid Burns ' ? I ' m pretty sure you are. They are get- ting ready to unmask, and if you are caught you are in for it. Follow me. and I ' ll see that you get out all right. Oh, Rose Burch, I know you in spite of that mask. If you ' ll get me out I ' ll— oh, maybe some day you ' ll be glad. All right, said Rose, come on. I ' ll have to get Tom first. They have already found out who he is. All the girls are around him now, and the matron is on her way to settle with him. Besides, it don ' t make much difi: ' erence about him. He can stand the demerits. I thought that the butterfly was you and I knew you couldn ' t stand any- more, so I got away and came to you. ;i i ;■; |; Late that night the bedraggled figure of a nun came noisily into Kid ' s room. Kid, wake up! Wake up! I say, WAKE UP! Let me tell you something. Kid sat up and stared at Tom with sleepy eyes. I ' ve had the time of my life, that matron is a peach. She didn ' t any more care. Told me to come often; then she took me to the refresh- ments and turned me loose. Why, honestly. Kid, I ' ve had such a time that every time I shut my eyes I see a girl, and a different one every time, at that. I looked everywhere for you but couldn ' t find you. What became of you? Why did you run away? Kid gave a low whistle and fell back upon the pillows. Oh, you thoughtful Rose! was all he said. Hallie Crutchfield.

DICHTUNG UND WAHRHEIT A STORY OF LIFE IIN A COLLEGE DOKMIIORY EMORIAL Hall was crowded with buoyant, laiig-hiug ' , hand- shaking people. The fifth qninteunial Homecoming had surpassed all others in attendance. From all parts of the state and the Southwest they had come to Steal an hour from days gone by, The shining days when life was new. And all was bright with morning dew. The lusty days of long ago, When you were Bill and I was Joe! It was interesting to me, freshman though I was, to stand there in one of the upper corridors that surround the vast rotunda, and to gaze upon the concourse of people aljout and below me, ranging in age from the gray haired veterans of the early eighties to the young graduates of the class of ' 34. Especially did it give me keen enjoyment to see Bill and Joe of a quarter of a century past, as arm in arm they strolled about the rotimda deciphering the memorial tablets upon the walls and admir- ing the statuary and the busts of the early professors which were set upon pedestals in the open spaces. But it seemed to me that those enjoying themselves most, judging from their hearty laughter, were those who were gathered in small groups on the settees and wall seats in the little alcoves about the rotunda, and who seemed to be rehearsing reminiscences of the days of yore. Joining one of these groups, I immediately became interested in their conversation. Most of them seemed to be of the classes of ' 10 and ' 11 and were telling stories of Mood Hall life in those days. After recounting numerous tales of misplaced bed slats, rining scrapes, tin- canning cats, milking Mood Hall cows for illegitimate purposes, mid- night raids upon the cellar and pantry, and of the famous Mood Hall Kangaroo Court and its renowned judge, the question arose as to what was the best stunt that was ever pulled otf during their time. All agreed that one of the most exciting times of their entire college career was when a fellow by the name of Barnhill went crazy. I liad always had an intense likmg for such stories, and listened intently as one of them began to narrate the anecdote. It was Friday night, the thirteenth of April, said he. The lights had long since flashed and ' Uncle Billy, ' ' High Pockets, ' and the rest [of the Mood Hall night hawks and prowlers had returned from their rambles; the last fellow had taken his much heralded bath; ' Kindergarten ' Stacy had at last ceased is beating upon the doors: I had just returned from one of those notorious and prolonged forty-two games of the west side, and to all intents and purposes an air of quietude and contentment seemed to pervade the building. I had been in bed but a short time, when suddenly I was awakened by one of the most fiendish yells that I ever expect to hear, which pro- ceeded from the other end of the hall. Startled and more or less terrified, I sat up in bed while the noise came down the hall, becoming louder and fiercer every moment, until it seemed as if some damned soul, just escaped from hell, had come to make Mood Hall its habitat. However, my fear was first alleviated and then heightened as 1 heard Allen Bass set up an urgent appeal for aid in the most pitiable and imploring tones, saying that Barnhill had gone crazy and was trying to kill him. I had just about screwed up enough courage to go to Bass ' s aid, but changed my plans immediately as I heard Barnhill, raving and moaning worse than a wild man, come down the hall and enter the bath room opposite my door. Afraid to venture out and measure strength with the insane man, I climbed up on the foot of my bed, where I could see over the transom and watch the proceedings from a place of safety. In the meantime, Bass had secured aid and, accompanied by ' Paint Rock ' Crozier and Brownfield, now came to the bath room with a lamp and candles, in an effort to do something for the crazy man. As the three lightly clad, nervous, and frightened fellows hovered on tiptoe about the door of the bath room trying to talk to Barnhill, alias ' Venus, ' and Brownfield trembling so that he could scarcely keep the chimney from falling oE the lamp, they had my fullest sympathy. Again I had just about screwed up enough courage to go to their aid, when suddenly they fled pell-mell down the hall amid their cries of despair and the sound of breaking lamp chimneys, as the maniac, knife in hand, made a lunge at them and rushed furiously down the steps to the second floor. Aroused by the tumult of the foot race and feeling more secure, now that the maniac had gone to the second floor, a number of fellows in negligee attire, and holding flickering candles, began to peer cautiously from their slightly opened doors. Leaving my vantage point and going out into the hall, I was joined by a number of trembling and chattering fellows and all of us went, as quietly as possible, in order that the crazy man might not hear us, to McHenry ' s I ' oom to effect a plan for his capture. As we entered tlie room, ' Knuts ' Koran came out from under the cover with which he had been covered up, head and eai ' s, and earnestly implored us for his sake and for our sake to put out our candles lest the maniac should see the light and come in after us. However, we assured him that 277 there was no dang-er and continned to discuss plans for his capture. It was soon agreed that we sliould wait until he returned to his room and then overpower him by our superior force. In the meantime Bass, ' Paint Rock ' and Brownfield had come from their places of hiding and joined us, and we began to dis- cuss the condition of ' Venus ' and what we should do with him. ' Ranch- man ' Decker said that he was from San Antonio, that his father was a doctor and liad an automobile, and he thought that Barnhill must neces- sarily be suft ' ering from the results of a blow upon the head. Lipscomb thoug-ht that he had been ' doped ' . But Allen Bass said that he did not care what was the matter with him, that he was from Terrell where they had an insane asylum and had seen some very bad cases cured, and thought that Barnhill could be easily cured. Houston Southern said that he thought so too, and that they could leave with him on the one o ' clock train that night and arrive at Terrell at ten o ' clock Saturday. But all this was interrupted and silence reigned as we heard the candidate for the asylum, still moaning and groaning, come up the steps and enter his room. Slowly and cautiously we surrounded his room, and despite his ravings that the light from our candles was burning liim up and that the pool balls in his ears were killing him, we closed in upon him, when, with an unearthly shriek, he dived head first through a half raised window to the gallery below and was gone. As he raced frantically around the gallery, he threatened to jump into the open court below if we touched him. Surprised and perplexed, we went back to McHenry ' s room to await his further return. As we sat there, trembling and trying to decide who should venture down and warn Professor Pegues and telephone for the police, a rap was heard at the door. As the door wasopened we were dumfounded by the sight that met our eyes. For there stood Barnhill, with the hideous look of a monster who realizes that he has his quarry within his power, and holding menacingly aloft in one hand a large heavy bottle and in the other an ugly looking knife. He took a step towards us, his arms lowered, a peculiar smile came over his face, he laid the bottle and knife on the table and said, ' Nice day today, isn ' t it fellows! ' and sat down on the bed. When the narrator reached this point in his story, there was a hearty laugh on the part of all. However, one or two of the listeners seemed to be slightly incredulous and to doubt the truthfulness of the entire story. Nevertheless, there were several of those listening who said that they took part in the affair and could vouch for the story-teller ' s accurateness, and at their dictation the narrator continued. 378 You see, continued the narrator, when we realized that we had been taken in by a crafty fellow in the most approved manner, we decided immediately that we should have the fun of seeing the joke on someone else also. It was decided unanimously that the vociferous and athletic young fellow from Oklahoma, ' Potlicker ' Stewart, should be the unfor- tunate. Accordingly the scene of the comedy was laid in Barnhill ' s room, with Barnhill, supposedly a raving maniac, being held in bed by four fellows. Stewart was sent for to see if he could not pacify his friend Barnhill, who had suddenly lost his mind. To be sure he would come. He was the son of the County Health Officer, and was an old or hand in the care of insane persons. He arrived upon the scene with the air of an expert. He approached the insane man. ' Come Barnhill, come, ' said he, ' You know your friend Stewart. ' Barnhill seemed to take notice as ' Potlicker ' mentioned his name, and with a growl of rage he broke loose from his captors and was after Stewart. With a wail of despair and a cry of, ' My God, boys, he ' s got me, ' ' Potlicker ' ran over three fellows getting out of the room, barked both shins and almost broke one leg running over the settees on the gallery, and never stopped in his mad chase for safety until he reached the railroad. He did not return to the hall that night and the next morning he was found almost helpless in the Mood Hall hay loft, his injured limb being so stiff that he could not walk. Naturally, this impromptu hurdle race that ' Potlicker ' pulled off created quite a bit of disturbance. In fact, it awakened the inimitable ' Roy Morton Socrates ' Andrews from his deep sleep of meditation and psychological thought, and he appeared upon the scene. However, when told that Barnhill was crazy he could not be induced to come nearer than the first landing on the stairway. But from this vantage point he said, that his grandfather had been quite a student of psychology and an ex- ponent of hypnotism, and that he himself had studied the question quite thoroughly and had paid especial attention to a study of psychology of insanity and, as a result of this long and protracted study of his, he gave it as his most eminent opinion that, in such cases as that under which Mr. Barnhill seemed to be laboring, relief could only be brought about by the use of a narcotic injected hypodermically. He said that he would go immediately in search of the hypodermic. The next initiate into the wiles and mysteries of insanity was the fellow townsman of the patient, Mr. Andrew Smyth. He was aroused from his bed and came immediately when told that his friend had tem- porarily lost control of his mind and that by his influence he might enable him to recover it. He tried to bring relief to his friend by means of sug- gestion. He appealed to Barnhill as a long-time friend and a playmate of l)oyliood days. He told liiin in c ' lowing- words tlieir joint experiences on the raneli and at the old swimming ' hole. Bnt all seemed to be in vain, Barnhill continued his raving and in a fit of frenzy he burst loose from those holding him, grabl)ed a large bottle oii ' the dresser and with a yell made for his friend. Smyth, forgetting all the ties of their youthful friendship, gave a yell and tied precipitately down the stairway to the first floor where he was found most pitifully begging Keene to let him in before Barnhill got him. Pshaw, he was not nearly so scared as ' Prep ' Hai-rison, inter- jected another of the gentlemen. When he heard Barnhill coming down the hall he got up in the window on his allfours and was just ready to jump out the third story window when his roommate caught him and prevented what would have been a very serious accident. But by this time, continued the first gentleman, ' Socrates ' had returned, not with his hypodermic, for he had been unsuccessful in his search for one, but with Professor Pegues instead. We had already planned that in case the Professor should come that we would not slight him, but would permit him to enjoy the same privileges of the other ini- tiates. Accordingly, when we saw Andrews and Prof. Pegues coming, we staged the affair in all its completeness. The room was almost filled with excited boys. Barnhill was doing nobly and it was taking the com- bined strength of all four of the fellows, holding him, to keep him from breaking loose. However, Professor Pegues had to face the crazy man alone, because of the fact that Andrews had refused to accompany him further than the second fioor. Nevertheless, he acted his part well with- out any signs of uneasiness or fear whatever. He talked to Barnhill and asked him all manner of questions. But Barnhill continued his ravings and never seemed to pay any attention to him whatever, until the Pro- fessor mentioned something about English. At the word Barnhill gave a start and with a shriek of ' English, English, you flunked me in English! ' he broke loose, grabbed a lighted lamp on the table and was after him. To say that the worthy Professor stood his ground would be to mis-state the facts; to say that he flew would be to err; probably it would be best to state that he left with all possible dispatch and was last seen frantically ringing the telephone and telling ' central ' to send a number of policemen to Mood Hall, and that several of the boys were insane. Of course, we were in high glee over the success of our trick on the Professor, but immediately began to plan to fool the policemen also. In a short time they arrived, and— At that moment the gong sounded. The group of story tellers dis- persed, the people aljout the rotunda ceased to decipher the memorial tablets upon the walls and to admire the statuary, and, as if by one com- mon impulse, all began to move slowly towards the auditorium to see a realistic reproduction of one of the old time inter-society debates. Fuzz. 280 WHEN THE FRESHMAN SHINED THE SHOES T was the eveiiiug of the first Annex reception of the year. The freshman had eaten supper hastily and for the last hour had been preparing- for his debut into college society. Now the last touches had been added and he was surveying ' him- self in the mirror with pardonable satisfaction. He was compelled to admit that he did look nice. His coat was a perfect fit; his hosiery and necktie might be — well a trifle gaudy, still they looked very dressy; that standing col- lar and white vest seemed just a little queer, but it was only because he was not accustomed to wearing- them. He was sure that he could make a favorable impression on that g-irl whom his friend from home wanted him to meet. Well, there was nothing- to do now but to wait until time to leave. He looked at his watch— almost an hour yet! How could he wait that long? Just then there was a knock at the door and, before he could re- spond, two upper classmen, who had assisted in initiating- him into the Athletic Association a few nights before, walked in. Come down to the room a minute, one of them said; We ' ve got something- to tell you. The freshman hesitated. Well, said the other, if you are coming-, get busy. We can ' t wait here on you all nig-ht. All right, I ' ll come, the freshman rather timidly replied. He walked with them down to the room at the end of the hall. Per- haps, they wished to g-ive him some hints in regard to his conduct at the reception, he thoug-ht. As he stepped inside the room, he heard the key turn in the lock and he feared that there was trouble in store for him. Through the haze of tobacco smoke he saw eight or ten boys — all upper-classmen. Several were on the bed and the others had found seats on the table and trunks. Derisive remarks about his clothes greeted his appearance. My, my, isn ' t he sweet! asked one. And all ready, too. 2S1 Just take a peep at those socks ;iiid at that necktie, won ' t you! Loud? Well I guess. Now what do you know about that white vesti Some swell, eh? Bet he came from Ptlugerville. Say, kid, you ' re a lady-killer, you are. The freshman did not know what to do. He had turned ([uite red and now he was grinning sheepishly and was nervously shifting from one foot to the other. Then one of the boys who had brought him in spoke up. Let ' s have order, gentlemen, he called. When the noise had ceased, he made a short droll speech in which the freshman was informed that one of the customs of the school was that compelling the freshmen to shine the shoes of the upper-classmen on the evening of the first reception each year. 0, verdant freshman, he concluded grandiloquently, you needs must know that this is a precedent which, like the laws of the Medes and Persians, altereth not; neither shall it l) e broken at this late day! There- fore, I, in the name of the upper-classmen present, command you to get busy. The other boys applauded vociferously. The freshman, who had found a seat on the trunk and was staring at the pennants on the opposite wall, was uncertain as to whether they were only joking or not. Mean- while, however, they had placed a chair on the table and between the rungs had put the ends of a broken bed slat to serve as foot-rests. Shoe polish and shining cloths were on the table. The late speaker climbed into the chair. Your first customer is waiting, sonny, he said. You ' ll have to step lively if you want to go to the rece])tion. At first the freshman did not move. He was filled with sullen re- sentment. What had he done to these fellows that would warrant them in making him their boot-blacki ' Hadn ' t he been hazed enough at the Athletic Association! What would that girl think if she found out that he was shining shoes! This was too much. He would not shine their shoes; no, no matter what they might do to him. Just as he was about to speak his mind, someone tapped him on the shoulder and he turned his head. It was the boy who had helped him arrange his course. Don ' t make any fuss about it, kid, he advised. You had better do it now than later on. And you ' ll have lots more trouble if you don ' t. It won ' t hurt you any. The freshman did not see it that way, but he noticed that several of the other boys had suggestively removed their belts. There was no use resisting, so he grimly took off his coat and went to work. Another freshman had been secured to assist him, so one shined the right shoe and the other the left. As soon as they had finished with one pair, the chair was taken by another boy, and thus the shining went on until the two freshmen had together shined seven pairs of shoes. You ' ve done pretty well, freshy, theleaderthen told him. We ' ll let you go now, and you ' d better spruce up a bit. The reshman did not trust himself to reply, but turned on his heel and walked back to his room. Once more he looked into the mirror. What a change! His collar was hopelessly wilted; on the white vest were spots of polish; and his tie was ruined. He looked at his hands and shuddered. Could he ever get them clean again! His back ached; he was hot and tired. It was nearly time to leave, and he must go. He had promised his friend to be there. What would the other girl think if he did not come? Yes, he must go. It had been almost an hour since the group of hilarious upper-class- men had gone, when the freshman finished dressing for the second time. He had changed his collar, discarded the soiled vest, and scrubbed most of the polish from his hands. He was almost cheerful. Surely after all this trouble, he would be repaid by a glorious time. When he arrived at the Annex he found his friend from home and chatted pleasantly with her for a few minutes. Then he ventured to ask about the other girl. • Oh, I ' m so sorry, was the answer, but Mary has gone back up stairs. 8he was tired and supposed that you had decided not to come. 283 CLASS ROOM MANNERS N the beginning-, it may be said that Class Room Manners are the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things too rarely seen. For by them the virtuous obtain good reports, while, by lack of them, the wicked are denied their passes. And through them the righteous are enabled to work their teachers; by the judicious application of them they deceive their instructors, so that the unseeing professors say, Behold a scholar and a gentleman, whose feet are in straight paths, who does not sit in the seat of the scornful! And even the professors who are sharp and cynical, who pierce the subtlest webs of deception, say, See, an earnest man, and one who wishes to excel. And thus it is that the favored one ' s work is made light, and his lines are fallen in pleasant places. For he goes about it in this manner. First, he is always on time at classes. He arises early, and does not lie in the bed until 8:30, and rush in after roll call, confusing the punctual students, and angering the teach- ers. Rather than that, he is always on the spot a few moments before the 8:45 bell summons the tardy; he walks in lightly, with a shining morning face, and cheerfully greets the Powers That Be. When he is seated, he sits upright and purposeful, not as one in a dream. He listens to the lessons with great attention; the light of understanding is in his eyes; and not that vacancy that tells of thoughts a thousand miles away from the subject in hand. This praiseworthy demeanor he preserves throughout the hour, and if perchance he becomes bored and disgusted with the progress of the lesson, he conceals it, in so far as the bounds of human nature allow; he fingers not his pencil; he looks not idly out of the window, nor lets his thoughts wander ; more than that he regards not the flight of time. His whole mind is concentrated upon the recitation; he sets his face like flint against the Eternal Feminine, and never glances towards that part of the room where the fair young co-eds cluster. When he is ordered to stand upon his feet and elucidate a difficult construction, he rises promptly and cheerfully, and performs with credit; also when he is called upon to go to the black-board, he rejoices as a strong man to run the hundred, and the light of his genius dispels the darkness of the most complex test. This enumeration of class-room virtues might be con- tinued ad lihitum, but these will suffice to give a general idea of what this highly desirable branch of schoolroom etiquette consists. A good, durable, practical set of Class Room Mannei ' s having been acquired by the pupil, his next concern must be the proper and judicious use of them and, for the success of this plan, a working knowledge of the teacher is essential. There is but one way to obtain the knowledge, and that is, by a thorough and consistent study of the individual teacher him- self. His moods must be learned and understood, for the workings of a teachers mind are dark and mysterious to the uninitiated. Who can un- derstand his anger! One day, he is affable, patient, and easy; another, he is cross, grouchy, and vitriolic in his comments aiid discourse. At such times, Class Room Manners are often the salvation of the student, but if it happens that indigestion is as the bottom of the teacher ' s ill- humor, (as is often the case) the sheep are almost as likely to suffer as the goats. But, come what may, let the student endeavor to preserve an expression of meekness and eager absorption, and it may be that, by the favor of the gods, he will escape unscathed, while among the foolish there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. But the complexity of the problem of Class Room Manners does not end with this. There are not, nor ever will be under the sun, so long as the world stands, two teachers who are alike in every important feature. Just as one uses a live minnow in fishing for the wary bass, cut bait for the catfish, and the lowly worm for the perch, so must one employ a dif- ferent set of manners for each professor under whose thumb Fate throws him. Time would be lacking for the exposition of the various methods to be used under each one, but there are a few general manners which may be used for all. For instance, few professors approve of a gentle- man wearing his hat in class. It is always well to doff the head covering when in the class-room. (It would be well if the ladies followed this rule also, but the writer does not wish to try to institute a revolution. ) Also, it is considered bad form to smoke cigarettes in class, although, the use of tobacco is permissible, for chewing purposes, to those who may con- veniently expectorate out of a window. Singing and whistling are also hardly just the thing, as they are demoralizing. As has been suggested, the most important feature of the scienc of Class Room Manners is that, aside from the mere delight of playing the game, they influence the teachers to deal leniently with the pass question. But that is really too complicated a matter to go into details upon. But now hear the conclusion of the whole business. It may be said that, while a few — a very few, manage to succeed by main strength and awkwardness, the easiest way, the surest way, and the pleasantest way is to acquire a warranted-to-wear set of Class Room Manners, and use them correctly. Then the search is sure, and the reward is great. J. W. Thomason, Jk. HISTORY II History II is a crazy old class, With one good feature — we all always pass; Though the teacher, a funny old man called Sleepy, With his long winded lectures makes us feel quite creepy. First: To mention your cuts this chancel seize. Though, of course, it is optional to come when you please, To get your passes, or to take any quiz; This is a free country and that ' s your biz. Then some of us doze and some of us snore, Some of us longingly glance at the door; While he gives us his lectures- -that Sleepy so clever, Like Tennyson ' s Brook he goes on forever. And while we are thinking: Of any old thing. This history ' s the worst; when will the bell ring? He talks and he talks and he talks yet again, And commands us to take it all down with a pen. Soon Huffstutler yawns with a jaw-breaking racket; But knowledge! — old Sleepy continues to stack it Down on our note books, if not on our brain. And we wait and we pray for the two o ' clock train The topic assigned is Lee ' s Northern Invasion. Says Sleepy: Eliminate the personal equation, For you must be just to the poor slandered Yankee. We drowsily nod and reply to him, thank ' ee. Now let the class listen, I wish to relate The dangers Lee threatened to the Northern State. I ' ll make my point clear by an example or two, You ' ll see the connection before I am through. ' I shall illustrate first with Southwestern ' s frats; The barbs hate the frat men and call frat girls cats. The only solutions to these sad estrangements Is in our constitutions to make re-arrangements. Next notice the boldness of one ' Dr. Booze, ' Who was aiding Ft. Worth in her efforts to fuse Southwestern and Poly in a Varsity so great, That we should be envied by all in the state. ' But — a horrible crash! The plaster is falling! Before we recover, scared Sleepy is calling, ' Send at once for the Sheriff; tell him to make haste Or my would-be assassin will make his escape! Jim Harrell is laughing; Happy ' s face is quite red: Just think Avhat ' d happened had it struck on my head. Stop that grinning and laughing you heartless young lads, I ' ll make you regret it right now, then he adds: Write me a well balanced theme of ten pages On The Phenomenal Advance of the Laborers ' Wages . We sorrowfully write miscellaenous things Till at length — O, what length!— the tardy bell rings. • ■ GRAY HATS AND GAY DETECTIVES T was night. The noisy chatter of the after supper loungers had long- since died away and the boys had gone to their rooms to pore studiously over their lessons, or ' perhaps ' to drowse over the especially hard ones. The muffled splash of a boy in the bath tub down the hall might be heard, while the sound of footsteps was just dying away, as the last in- dolent stragglers from the Alcove passed up, Suddenly the telephone rang wildly. Hey, is that Cobble Hall! Gimme a Grrad. Well, here ' s a Grrad, what you want! Say, those dad-gummed Juniors are swiping our new Grad hats. Just caught on. They want to get them all and maybe wear them to chapel tomorrow You better watch out up there for — but the listening Grad had heard enough and was hurrying back to his room, half expect- ing to see a Grad-Junior general fisti-cuff in full swing, but was relieved to find every thing as quiet as he had left it. Trying to assume an air of stolid unconcern and innocence, he quietly called a few of his fellow-classmen into the hall. But the quiet could not last.— Hey! What ' s that! ' Grad hats! The dog-gone fools! I ' ll swear that looks prepish to me ! I ' ll just dare one of the son-of-a-guns to lay one of his bread snatchers on my hat! ! ! And several other ill humored and high keyed expletives might have been heard from the indignant assembly. Then an expedition was suggested to other parts of the building. Yes , said the other Grads, our ' s are already gone and nobody knows how it was done. Let ' s just yine the Ijreeches oft ' of the very first one that we catch out of his room. It is needless to say that the whole Grad works was a seething com- pact of splenic fury from that time on. On the next morning it developed that the fair Grads from other quarters had also been deprived of their sky-furniture, and were in no better spirits over the matter than were their disgruntled allies of the uglier sex. The feminine Grad line at chapel could but remind one of grand- mother ' s old line of clothespins, with all the pins knocked oft except three. Tlirong-liout tlie entire chapel service the Senior indignatiou tea- pot continued to boil higher and higher, until the white Hecks of boiling vapor began to burst out at the top; and at its close the thing ran over at the spout. A conflict seemed imminent, for there were those among the Grads who did not propose to be touched by any of those pusillanim- ous, degenerated fly grabbers from the Junior Class. And when a grayish blur shot over the heads of the out-pouring throng, many a heart stood still; for it had had for its starting point the head of a bad man, who had sworn not to lose his hat, and whose infantile feeding had been from the prickly pears on the head waters of the Guadalupe. He had been suckled by a grizzly bear, and reared as the boyish companion of the man who slept on slate rock, and in his early youth he had gained a reputation for being desperate, on account of having killed six Live Oak County Mexicans, whom he had suspicioned of having cut the straps ofl; of his red-topped Ijoots. Everybody expected trouble to be precipitated, and it was pre- cipitated — in bucketfuls. No sooner had the grayish streak made its con- nection between the bad man ' s head and a by-stander ' s eye, than a wild, bushy maned individual from the cedar brakes of San Saba County made at the immediate object of Grad wrath, with the ferocity of an angry Thomas cat. Then the two began to go around some; and while an ad- miring crowd of two hundred non-combatants gathered about to see that no undue advantage was taken on either side, the two persisted in going around some more. The conflict grew hotter and they kept on going around; then they circled to the left, they perambulated up the center, they went down the side aisle, slid on first, and turned sixteen double- back-actioned, hair-triggered somersaults, while fondly locked in each others warm embrace. At the conclusion of the thirteenth second of the fray, one Randolph Greenwood quietly walked up and poured oil on the troubled waters, after which the Inishy maned individual discovered that somebody had parted asunder four of the gentlest ribs in his waistcoat. But that did not phase him one particle. In spite of the ominous warnings that continually emanated from the Grad works, the hats continued todisappear mysteriously, and on several occasions grave tragedies were narrowly averted when the opposing fac- tions happened to lay eyes on each other. On one occasion a base ball game was ruined by the far more dramatic exhibition of a gun play; and at another time a noted young Grad divine awakened the ghostly echoes of the murky midnight, crying, as he chased a supposed nocturnal hat hunter down the hall at a 3:40 gait, ril knock the devil out of you Fair faced avengers of feminine wrongs, also getting busy, kidnapped an innocent and unsuspecting Junior, and locking- themselves with her in a gloomy attic from 2:30 in the afternoon until 2 a. m,, alternately fed her on gum drops and played Club-Fist on her nose, in the fruitless endeavor to induce her to reveal the whereabouts of an enticing cluster of sky-pieces. But such efforts were of no avail. The hats could not be found and still more were disappearing each day, into that unknown, mysterious somewhere, the location of which was proving a constant worry to those who had either lost, or stood in danger of losing their insignia of Senior dignity. Where could they be! In a Junior ' s room! In the Annex! In the University? Where, oh where! Searching parties were organized, who turned absent Juniors ' rooms topsy-turvy in the anxious quest, but all was vanity and vexation of spirit, Well then, when will we get them! peevishly asked Bazoo Hawkins. Oh, in the sweet bye-and-bye, responded the Junior to whom the inquiry had been directed. You don ' t want them before the picnic, do you! ji; ;]; ! Broken Rib George was a brave man and had in him the mak- ing of a chief of police; cunning in conception, stealthy in operation, and crafty in execution, his early knowledge of such characters as Diamond Dick and Nick Carter had made him a genius at ferreting out crime. As a boy, his ambition had been to grow into a desperado and die with his boots on, at the feet of a pile of sixteen stricken Texas Eangers, whose lights he had extinguished with the last few strokes of his marvelous hand; but at the time we are speaking of, he had about decided to return home to San Saba County and run for constable of precinct No. 2. On this particular afternoon, he came into his room with puzzling perplexity written across his brow in box car letters. Lighting a cigar, he studied his smoke rings with thoughtful scrutiny, moved his eyes to- ward a familiar object on the dresser, then psychologically toward the Annex, where at that moment there were those who mourned for their Grad hats and could not be comforted. After a few moments, the silence was broken by his classical shout of Eureka! Eureka! which in common vernacular means: I have discovered it, by jiminy! I ' ve got the idea, Dobie, he cried, come here quick and 111 tell you where those Grad hats are. You know that Keene knows all about the Post Office Drug Store, and it occurs to me that he has hidden them all there, except the two uaearthed by bold ' Bazoo ' Hawkins at the Phi House. Well, how will we get them! 289 How will we get them ' ?— Well, we ' ll get them, that ' s how we ' ll get them. Let ' s send for ' Sherlock Holmes ' Stanford. A keener nosed slenth-hoimd than he never lived, and if anybody can chase tliem down, he can. The notorious character in question was immediately sent for, and as the mission was a dangerous one, it was deemed advisable to import a few more men, among whom were Bazoo Hawkins and the unerring marksman, Six-shooter Jones. The plans were laid for searching the suspected establishment, and with the flush of victory insight, the heavily armed posse approached the haunt so soon to be surprised and searched by them. Hist, men , whispered the intrepid leader, ' Sherlock Holmes ' Stanford, everybody easy, for this is a ticklish lu ' oposition. ' Broken Rib George ' , you and ' Six-shooter ' Jones silently follow me on the inside. You, the rest of my brave men, station yourselves at the door, but don ' t shoot until you have to! I have been here seven years but 1 think I can still pass as a Junior. . Thus saying, the daring sleuth passed quietly inside. Why — er, Mr. Long, you know about this class fight— well, we Juniors are swiping (Irad-hats. Mr. Keene has already hidden a number here and I want to put this one with them (pulling one out of his inside pocket). The detective made a wry face as he disgorged the awful false- hood, for he had been a sort of a jack-leg minister before entering into the employment of the detective agency. Don ' t know anything about them, replied the astonished drug- gist. Well, they ' re here all right! Are you sure? Sure as guns! Well, I don ' t know where they are, but if you want to leave it here, I ' ll take great pleasure in turning it over to Mr. Ke — . No, no, no, I want to put it away myself ! You see, why, you see — er. Maybe the boys know about them, I don ' t. George, calling to a clerk upstairs, have you got any head-gear stored away anywhere? Yes, sir, its up here. Guide this gentleman up to it. Ah, thought Sherlock, signaling his men to follow, the bird is in the snare. Oh! this was too easy! The boy opened a box and disclosed a large number oi—caps. soda 290 I i oft: HER STUDY CARD (The girl enters the Chapel and sits where she can command a good tnerv of the hall. EE ! I wonder if I ' ll ever get my course fixed! My mind is so Gfull of majors and minors and sharps and flats that I can hardly think. (Sees friend.) Oh, Clara! I ' m sure tickled to see you. (Kisses her.) Delightful! Did you enjoy your vacation? That ' s just what I did: I ate so much that mother was frightened. But I told her I ' d never get anything at the Annex, so she quit worrying about me. What are you this year! A Sophomore! Yes, I ' m a Senior. That ' s what I think, too; and I am going to have a good time, since it ' s my last year. Father thinks I ' ve been doing that all along. It is queer, isn ' t it! One day he gave me an example in algebra to work — I am ashamed of it, but I sim- ply couldn ' t work it. What did I tell him! Why I had forgotten, I said. But you know it ' s because Prof. Cody is so easy, and no one studies under him. Wasn ' t that funny? When that young-old-looking Mr. Mayer came to take Prof. Cody ' s place, I was in analyt, and he busted the whole class — yes, I finally passed by going up to him, and crying a little— his sympathies were aroused, you see. Is that your study card! Let me see it. There ' s nothing on mine either but English IV, because I ' m trying to get all snaps. What! English? Clara, I never struck anything easier. I don ' t see why folks think Prof. Pegues is hard; it must be because they don ' t know him as well as I do, for I came up from the prep with him. Sure, he used to be a prep, too. His exams! They are easy, though they are always so long that I never finish; in fact, I don ' t want to, because the last questions are always harder than the others. Yes, windy on them till the bell rings and quit. Ugh-huh ! I took English III last year; it was a big snap. I don ' t see how: I believe Mr. Tunnell did flunk, since you mentioned it. Once he asked us — Prof. Pegues, not Mr. Tunnell— to quote from Whit- tier ' s Eternal Goodness; here ' s what I wrote: I care not for the stars that shine, I dare not hope to e ' er be thine, I only know I love you, Love me, and the world is mine. Yes, it sounds just like it, and I was the only one in the class, he said, that answered that question. You must always feel, see, smell, and hear to get a good grade in English. Of course you do, anyhow, but I 291 mean — well if you were writing about Thoreau ' s Wild Apples say: As one reads this deligiitful essay the breezes, heavy laden with the lan- guorous odor of apple blossoms, are wafted to him. He can see the bees as they drone on shimmering wings; he hears the glorious Bob White, as he sits on a swinging limb, pouring out his full heart in profuse strains of unpremeditated art. Flatterer! You can do fully that good with a little practice. What? That ' s Mr. Sansom, he ' s quite a poet. I agree with you; he does deceive his looks. Don ' t you know Euclid Virgil Cole! His great- est ambition is to be a second Bill Nye. And he does write very amusing letters — ha! ha! wouldn ' t he l)e tickled! — not to me, child, but for publi- cation; haven ' t you seen them! Yes, I like them— their humor is so broad, you can ' t possibly miss it. What were we talking about! Prof. Pegues! Yes, I am crazy about that man; I love to have him smile at me. (Turns suddenly.) Prof. Pegues! 1 am very glad to see you! Fine! and you! You are? It will certainly be a change for Mood Hall. Yes, both Miss Jones and I — you know Miss Jones, don ' t you! are going to take English : ' will you sign for it now! (Presents cards which he signs.) Thank you so much! Good-bye. (To Clara.) Clara, do you think he heard me! He was smiling; anyhow, I meant it, and if he did hear, whoop-pee! up goes my grade ! You say you want me to help you? all right; I ' ve got plenty of time. (Aside.) Hateful thing, to bother me! And she ' s an old Soph. Hand me that catalogue, please — thank you so much. ( Opens it at Courses of Study. ) Biology comes first, and it ' s the very thing you need. Haven ' t you ever had A, B and C! Then you ' ll have the time of your life studying about bugs and worms. Ugh ! I saw Ben Harris Gi ' iifin catching some— no, I mean grasshoppers, not worms — in front of the Annex this morning. He wants to be in the Annex eye in some way all the time. W ho teaches it! Why I thought you knew Prof. Tinsley. He does look just like a little bug, doesn ' t he! Must be, because he ' s handled them so much. I think he ' s a right dear little fellow, don ' t you? That ' s it; he is so innocent when he marches at the back of the line with his little cane, and we walk with the boys way up in front. Don ' t you remember how Mr. Brodie— yes, he is a rough looking man — used to walk home in the line wearing a gi-ad cap and gown? I think it was the cutest idea; but I guess he won ' t do it any more. No, she ' s in Nashville this year. Well, let ' s put Biology down on our cards. Good! That makes us both six hours. How many more do you want? Nine! I want seven. I have only thirteen hours required and I am determined not to take any more. That ' s the trouble with being a Senior; your hours have to come out exactly. I talked to Prof. Reedy ' for an hour yesterday but I couldn ' t arrange my course; so I left before he could talk me into taking Chemistry III. Why! Because he harps on fine print and my eyesight is bad. You didn ' t? They don ' t? Well, my eyes may not look bad, but they are. Besides, I wouldn ' t take it, be- cause he busted Abbie Graham in it! No wonder you ' re surprised. It was awful! What was her term grade? Just 95; wasn ' t that simply ter- rible? Ugh-huh, she drew that Y. W. C. A. picture yonder; she puts up a new water-color every week and the Mood Hall boys decorate their rooms with them. Howl They hang around in the halls all day Satur- day and watch for a chance to grab it when no one can see them. Some- body told me that Mr. Southern had six in his room. (Rises and greets young man.) How d ' ye do, Mr. Chapman? Meet my friend, Miss Jones. Very good, thank you. Did you? Oh, I see! You stayed in Austin most of the time. I ' ve heard lots of rumors about that — and they ' re true? Oh, you ' re going to tell me about it? Thank you so much. (To Clara.) Dear, please excuse me a minute. (They con- verse apart.) Isn ' t she a mess? N ow tell me. (Pauses.) Yes, you went to Austin and after calling on HER, you went to the Driskill Hotel! My, what an adventure ! And so you decided to marry right away? Well, let me congratulate you in advance and thank you so much for your confidence. Good-bye, professor. (Chapman leaves. Returns to Clara.) So kind of you to wait for me! (Aside.) Old crow, wish you had gone on ! Why do I call him professor? He says that all he lacks of be- ing one is attending the faculty meetings. His classification? Can ' tprove it by me ! Two years ago he claimed to be a Junior. He must be pro- gressing backwards, for this is his eighth year. (Smiles at boy.) Good morning, Mr. Parr. (To Clara.) Excuse my laughing, but I haven ' t seen him since last Commencement. You heard about his trip home, didn ' t you? No! Well, I scarcely ever hear anything myself, but I did hear that. Mr. Parr was going to leave on the 3 a. m. train and he told Marie to be ready to go when he came in the wagonette for her. But she was tired and fell asleep; my room was next to her ' s and about three o ' clock I heard the awfulest noise — yes, it was Mr. Parr roaring for Marie like a lion. I rushed into her room and woke her and yelled the comforting news to him. What ' s she got to do, he asked. She ' s got to fix her hair, I replied. Her hair, ' he yelled; Marie, screw your hair up in a knot and come on, for heaven ' s sakes. Just then the train whistled— ha! ha! ha! Ugh-huh, we finally got her ofi and they got on the train all right. What? Your study card? No, we aren ' t progressing very rapidly, but then you ar e such an interesting talker. What did you do with the catalogue. I am quite sure I gave it to you. Oh, I beg your pardon. Here it is iu my hand. (Reads.) Here ' s something you want: Economics. Dr. Allen teaches it. He does bust lots of people, but then they make the mistake of studying Economics instead of studying Doc. There are two conditions that will give anyone a grade of A. Yes, I ' ll tell you. First, sit on the front seat and windy when he calls on you ; second, make a good grade the first six weeks, because what you get then you ' ll get all year. No one was ever known to raise his grade under Doc, because he sizes everyone up during the first six weeks. Exams don ' t matter, for while you are writing on them Doc. is making out his grade list. You ask Mr. McKinney if it isn ' t so. Oh, don ' t get excited. It really is a snap- py course since you never have to study either for exams or lessons. Just to try him, once I wrote a love story instead of answering the questions. Sure, it proved my theory; I got 9o. What! AVell, maybe it was be- cause the love story pleased him. Shall I put down Economics A for you? You want seven more hours, don ' t yout What about Education? You don ' t know what that is! It ' s a course for teachers. That doesn ' t make any difference. I ' m not going to teach, and I have three hours credit in it. What! No, quite simple. The recitations are very easy and you have to write a little comp every week. Alice Beretta corrects them. Did you see that, tool I ' ll declare, I thought I would faint myself when I saw Mr. Knowles lifting her up. He certainly did look very much out of place. Ugh-huh, there is very little reading. So that ' s eleven hours. (Aside.) If she ' d just quit talking, I ' d soon be through with her. (To girl who is passing.) Hello, Josie. (To Clara.) There goes a very popular girl. It is so amusing to watch the race between Mr. Ar- buckle and Mr. Carter. What? Yes, someone also told me that that was the reason Mr. Carter came back to take his A. M. Yes, indeed, Mr. Ar- buckle has certainly had an unfair advantage; he used to walk to the An- nex with her every morning after chapel and poor Mr. Carter would look so lonesome, as he watched them from the library windows. Uh-huh, the Grad privileges will give him a better chance. Look, Clara, see Jeston Dickey going up the stairs with a new K. A. Had you also noticed that she had to raise all the young ones? It does seem funny to see a Senior going with preps, doesn ' t it! (Prof. Moore approaches.) I am so glad to see you. Prof. Moore. Yes, a dandy time. This is my friend. Miss Jones. She wants to take History under you, but I ' ve almost scared her ofl:, telling her how hard you are. Don ' t tell me. Haven ' t I just had to study my head off under you? And oh! that parallel! (To Clara.) Still Prof. Moore ' s classes are so interesting, I think you ' d better take some History. He ' ll sign for it now. (Prof, signs and turns away.) Thank you so much. Yes, I ' ll bring my card around later. (To Clara.) You ' ve got a good start now and all you need to do is to laugh at his jokes. I should say they ' re not — all about his boyhood (I don ' t see how he can remember it) and his school life at Vanderbilt. You ' ve hit it; it takes up time and keeps you from studying for recitations. But you must laugh when he tells them, that is imperative, even for a pass. Are the themes difficult? Ugh-huh. Just read a little in one book, write it down, and then go through four or five books for your references. How many! I usually put four on each page. (Turns towards the door.) How d ' ye do, Mr. Mitchell. What? I think he ' s a prep. Did he have on an 5 ? How did he win it? I can ' t think. It can ' t be foot ball, because he wasn ' t on the first team. Oh, I remember. He won it in a base ball game with Baylor. No, he was only a substitute, but during the game the coach told him to go to left field. He was sitting on the side lines and when he jumped up he sprained his knee. Ugh-huh; he had to go around on a cane for six weeks. So the Athletic Association unanimously voted an S ' to him to make up for his suffering. Did he ever get hurt before? Not that I know of; he is very hard to hurt, and that ' s why everybody likes him so well. You know Babe Boon, don ' t you? Standing by the window. He does look well, but no wonder; last night at the Alcove he ate forty-two raw eggs in thirty min- utes. Wasn ' t it awful? Prof. Tinsley told me this morning. What? You keep making me forget about your card. How many hours have you? Fourteen? And you need one more? Then it must be Oratory— the joke of the University, but don ' t let Miss Smith discover that you think so. Ugh-huh, she likes to be taken very seriously. No, I never heard of anyone busting except Pug Cody— it was funny, wasn ' t it ' ? And she couldn ' t help that, because he only came to class twice each term. They say — don ' t ask me who, but everybody says — that she cried when she put down the failure. She is certainly very kind-hearted. That completes you, doesn ' t it? It ' s a good thing, for tliere comes Mr. Whitcomb to practice his scales and we ' ll have to go. Oh, don ' t mention it. You are certainly welcome for my assistance. Did I? I hope that my advice will aid you. You ' ll have to go and have your card signed and approved now. Thank you so much. You must come, too; second floor, old wing. (Clara goes out.) Thank goodness that job is over. I am exhausted listening to that girl ' s gossip. I wonder where she learned all that. But I must go and get Prof. Reedy to help me agaiu with my course. (Exit, waving at Mr. Whitcomb, who is vigorously pawing the ivory.) HALLOLOGY UMEROUtS treatises appear from time to time in periodicals wj on the new branches of study to which human genius opens the way. ( )f finding many by-ways to knowledg ' e there is no end. Presidents of Universities keep the receptive intellec- tual public informed as to the progress of science; specialists tell us of the dangers of the mfections stegomya fasciata, or of tlie germs contained in milk or vegetables. This thing is Pasteurized; the other thing is Wileyized; statesmen define whiskey; and so-called doctors puzzle their noodles over elixirs as much as ever did the alchemists of old. In all this medley of intellectual display, there is one branch of science totally neglected. It is the important branch so popular in the college curriculum, called Hallology. Unlike many other courses offered by the modern university, this course of activity is suitable for both un- der-and post-graduate work. Many students — or rather pupils— take it both before and after their graduation, and it is safe to say that all who postpone this course invariably embrace their last opportunity and take it in their post-graduate year. This conclusion is based upon a knowl- edge of the facts gained by persistent observation. Unlike other branches, again, statistics show that when the end of a semester approaches, activity of pupils increases in other courses, while in Hallology it exhibits a marked decrease — a recommendation for the course which is likely to be neglected, for surely a course is convenient which may be slighted at the pupil ' s will. For the reasons that it forms so important a part m college life, is so popular, and so neglected in literature, we proceed to a more minute description of the course. Madamatics is divided into two branches: Hallology and Giftonomy, the former being the more popular in college for the reasons that it is not so expensive, and thatGiftom my is more adaptable to private study after the student— I mean pui)il— has finished college, affording a range for original research whose demands most colleges are unable to fulfill. In fact, the study of Giftonomy is facilitated greatly if prefaced with a course ill Hallology . It is the opinion of the writer that if Giftonomy were learned and practiced in college as is Hallology, Hallology would undoubtably be made a pre-requisite. The most striking advantage of Hallology as a college course lies in the fact that it is eminently co-educational. Many schools are called co- educational when the name is a travesty on the truth, and chey are no more co-educational than a monastery. Hallology comes, then, as a boon to the inmates of various women ' s buildings of so-called co-educa- tional colleges, and offers them the same rights and privileges as are offered to men. Who knows but that in the results of careful attention to Hallology may finally be found the correct solution to the question of women ' s rights! Let us now consider some of the benefits of Hallology. Like all innovations in applied science, it has its opponents. Professors, who scorn the steps by which they did descend, are very active in its opposition, sometimes evincing a personal interest in its extinction, trying to stamp it out as they would a heresy. But is it so deserving of this active oppo- sition? Its field is physiology, for it teaches a bashful boy where to put his foot or hand. Its field is ethics, for it teaches a girl to smile when she doesn ' t mean a word of it. Its field is economics, for it deals with the values of relations. Its field is politics, for it demands almost an instinc- tive knowledge as to who are its friends and who its foes. We would enter a plea for the prevalence of this course in our col- leges. If it is accused of not being directly profitable, our reply is that the same accusation may be brought against many of the other subjects in the curriculum. Other sciences train the mind; Hallology trains the heart. Other sciences demand that the pupil adapt himself to them; Hallology adapts itself to the pupil. Other sciences, to be understood, depend great- ly upon the efforts of the instructor; Hallology, to be mastered, depends upon the efforts of the pupil. Other sciences ask what has the pupil done in the past; Hallology asks what can he do at present. May the time soon come when all will recognize the superior training to be derived from this course, when all will be to its faults a little blind, and, in anticipation of a perfected system, view it at least with charity. . _ SCRIBO. 1 A CRUSHED ROSE Ah, crushed rose, taken from my book Of poems — read in her eyes- Tell me as o ' er the past I look What sorrow in thee lies. Remember ' st thou the snow soft breast Near which thy petals blushed! The fingers that so tender pressed Thy leaves lest one be crushed! The beating heart that made thee tremble When she came near another! The soft voice that, that did resemble ' Of a nightingale mother! Yes, this and more thy memory keeps Of one now gone from me. Of one who now so sweetly sleeps Beneath the rose twined tree. But still as a fragrance pure is borne From thy faded and wasted Leaves, so in my heart forlorn, By sorrow worn and wasted, A remembrance sweet is cherished. And shall be forever more, Of a saintly beauty perished And a spirit gone before. 299 THE HALL OF FAME SERIOUS A D FRIVOLOUS FACTS ABOUT THE GREAT AND THE NEAR GREAT ULIAN GUSTAVE WElSSERlias been to only one Annex re- ception during his five years here; then he spent the entii-e evening entertaining Gladys. During the recent Beauty Contest held at South western, Ben Neal took dinner at the Mess Hall in the interest of one of the fair candidates. As a result of this apparently harm- less episode, Ben ' s dyspepsia is still troubling him, he had a big doctor ' s bill, he missed four days of school, and lie flunked in two exams. But he says the outcome more than repaid his toil and suffering. The celebrated poetess. Bertha McKee, is devoted to the classics. She often disturbs her room-mate at night by (luoting while asleep, pass- ages in Greek from Plato, Homer, or Euripides. Elbridge Cobb Brodie, Representative from Hereford, is a man of remarkable ingenuity in his wooing. He attended the recent reception given by the Mood Hall boys to the Annex girls by special permission of the Faculty; though he does not belong to the Press Club, no meeting is ever held without him. Alice May Beretta is a good horsewoman. No horse is too wild for her to ride, but she declares that she has never ridden a j)omj. Miss Allie Barcus is taking graduate work in the modern languages. She is making a special study o f French. Barry J. Brooks is a pool and billiard fiend. While he is not playing, he carries a cane made of a sawed-oft ' cue. Miss Blanche Casey, a popular Senior, has the misfortune of being color blind. She can see only one color and that is Black. Miss Ray Hyer and Claude M. Morphis are very eccentric members of the class of ' 10. Neither would allow their photographs to go in the class group. John N. McKay, the Registrar, is an extremely busy young man; but in addition to his office work he is working for a degree. During his six years at Southwestern he has succeeded in getting up all his entrance credits. Next year he will start on his collegiate courses and at the rate of three hours a year, he hopes to be graduated in 1930. 300 Rufus E. Price is a star track man. He can run the 100 yard dash in ten flat, carrying a dishpan full of dishes weighing seventy-five pounds. He prefers to do this sprinting, however, in the Mood Hall dining room. Ada May Porter is very proud of her resemblance to Queen Eliza- beth. That explains why she always wears a ruff of ruching. Euclid Virgil Cole has gained ten pounds monthly since he took the chair of English in the Prep. ; that is, approximately $50. Miss Nernie Ghaney is an ardent Democrat. A short time ago in History II she declared that there was no doubt that William Jennings Bryan could be elected to the Presidency if he would run again. Bedford Weaver is one of Southwestern ' s best unknown orators. Last Commencement he came so near winning the Junior Orator ' s Medal that it frightened him and he would not even enter the Senior preliminary contest. John Richardson, who flunked at Texas last year, is a very prom- inent Freshman. His numerous sweethearts, however, are a great worry to him. J. Frank Dobie, the genial editor-in-chief of the SoiC wester, is coaching this yeai-: last year he was manager of Southwestern Uni- versity. These are very important offices and the Alice High School is proud of her illustrious son. Ben Harris Griffin vv-as much pleased when he was declared the biggest flirt in the school. He is trying to live up to his reputation and may be found in the halls at nearly any hour talking to some fair Co-ed. Robert Kurth is an extremely obliging youth of sixteen summers (he says). In his attempt to fill the place vacated by Jim Kerr, he has succeeded admirably. Miss Bess Carothers is kept so busy carrying young men around in her buggy that she is thinking seriously of financing a taxicab service. H. R. Aldredge is doing post-graduate work. Since his previous residence here H. R. has fallen off: considerably; he now weighs only 285 pounds. Every one knows thatR. O. Stewart ' s eyesight is rather poor: Init the other day when he passed Miss Long, he mortally offended her l)y saying, Howd ' y do, Mrs. Tutwiler, . ■ ' 301 FOUR BOOKS OF THE YEAR Four Ycdfs ' ni the SopJioii orc CJdSS, h Gcorrie B(ii (h li)J KrUcy, fSai . S((ha Ncics, I ' liblisliersJ :— ' nns is the author ' s first appearance in a bound volume, and while the work is rather crude, its promise of the future is flattering ' . What the book lacks in finish and artistic unity is made up for by its vivid and strikingly realistic picturing of the writer ' s four years of Sophomore life. The absence of imaginative creation is excused in a writer whose experiences have been so unique and romantic as Mr. Kelley ' s. He, with scarcely an effort— so his story goes — leaped from the Freshman to the Sophomore Class. There for foui ' years, making start- ling grades, having his picture made now with a Junior, now with a Senior group, l;ut ever a Sophomore, he remained. Then, another leap, and he had received his degree. The book is full of wholesome advice, and occasionally the writer diverges to speak on some such theme as How to Keep a Girl, or How I Lived Among Wild Men in the Wild West. The volume is well worth the careful consideration of every student of history, though we cannot agree with the author ' s philosophy, that one who stays a Sophomore, eventually becomes a more profound and earnest student than one who orderly advances through the college course. Talks on Teachii g English, by Benjamin Harris()u. McLalii,( Police Gazette PuhUshimi Co., New ZorAj : —While Mr. McLain ' s experience as a teacher of English is confined to a few years, he is already well known to readers of such literary journals as the Gazette, and indeed there is little about the art of letters and teaching that he does not know. We al- ways admire self-confidence in a writer, and herein Mr. McLain ' s par ex- cellence is to be doubly admired. Before his irrefutable logic all other critics must bow; to his original and clearly expressed theories, all other teachers must succumb. Yet, strange to say, not the faintest odor of dogmatisin is present. That one so apparently l riUiant as this author is not conceited in expression, is proof positive of his greatness and nnmortality. Time alone, though, can judge. How to Run a Base Ball Team, hy Daryl (J. Mitchell, (A. G. Spauldiny d ' Co., Chicago J: — Mr. Mitchell is a worthy contemporary of his namesake, Donald G. Mitchell, though the subjects on which these two artists write are slig-htly different. For three years Mr. Mitchell has practically coached, managed, and captained the famous Southwestern University Base Ball Team, finding time meanwhile to umpire, and for one year actually consented to play. He is a very reticent man, and the base-ball world has for a long time held a sort of secret grudge against him, because of his persistent refusal to talk. ' ' The public is to be congratulated on his final decision to give utterance to his sound and heretofore almost unexpressed views on base ball in general and the players in particular. What I Know, by Roy Rldpatli Marcus Aiirelhis Andrews: — This voluminous work is the result of a life spent in astute study, deep think- ing, and keen observation. When completed it will consist of eighty-one volumes; but only thirty-four have come off of the presses. Each volume consists of cyclopedic essays upon vital questions. Many of the subjects treated are familiar to every one, yet let any scholar read, ever so curiously, one of these dissertations upon a supposed hack- neyed subject, and he will be struck — yea, dumfounded — with the origi- nality and power of the mind which gave them birth. Though all are good, the best of these published essays, in the opinion of this critic, are: The Influence of White Trousers on ' Broad Minded ' Girls, How I Judge a Cigah, The Relation Between Homer ' s Poetry and the High Cost of Living, and MY Idea of A University. In the first essay mentioned the author begins by stating that he him- self frequently dons a pair of snowy white pantaloons, and after a lengthy and convinci ng discussion arrives at the conclusion that the effect is too decided, in that it causes a man to be beset with too many admiring damsels. How I Judge a Cigah is a much simpler essay than the former. Mr. Andi ' ews admits that he can approach within one mile of the cigah to be tested, take a short sniff, and tell whether it is an Old Vir- ginia or a Red Ranger. Remarkable power of discrimination! The Relation Between Homer ' s Poetry and the High Cost of Liv- ing is too subtle for any ordinary reader. Perhaps this master mind was contemplating the natural relations between Homer and the food necessary for riders of jacks. Mr. Andrew ' s idea of a University, unlike Mr. Newman ' s, is Poly- technic College. He, Mr. Andrews, was once a freshman there, and there- by became thoroughly conversant with all the inside workings of the College. We predict that this great work will eventually supercede all en- cyclopedias that have so far been published. This sums up its value.

A year book supposed to be published by the Athletic Association, but really published by three or four students, who bore its readers with stale jokes, bum poems, and execrable stories.

Lyndsay D., p. n. This is the name by which one of the Grads is denominated. He has been here several years, but no one understands him yet.

References: Faculty meeting every Tuesday afternoon in Dr. Allen ' s room (on first floor). Orga(i)n. a hand instrument at Mood Hall.

M. H.) take a cup of strong coffee before going. (1 .) Henioi-: A day very wisely granted to the Seniors hj the Facnlty, when the Uiriversity is relieved of its officious and egotistical Grads, and for one entire day tlungs are allowed to move in peace as calm as the noon-day sun.

A term used by college students en masse to designate the actions t)f the i)rofessors which cannot be reasonccl out on a logical basis; strange or unheard of; inimitable or inimical to custom; its use is strictly confined to the description of the actions of the profes- soi ' s as above stated. Ex. It certainly is (lueer. Radiator {ntd ' tns, to throw out ou radial lines). Souu ' thing used to convey hc.it, ' . c. liot air. b ' ound to be very valuable in the Annex, in fact, practically indispensable. Sometimes confused with re- frigerator (this mistake arises from the fact that radiators are so often like refrigerators in the coldest part of tlie winter time) ; not u ' ed at the University because of the high temperature of the air generated by pro- fessors. Synonym: Ice box, refrigerator. Rastus. a Southwesternite destined to be famous, because he takes in everything coming his way; but principally because of his poetical ability displayed in furnishing dope for the columns of the MegapJw) e, cf.

(Note: The Annex girls always feel safe in this conveyance.) Zeeo. a circle with nothing inside ; a goose egg ; with one on the left of it a mark of merit, but always beware of it by itself. Usually bestowed by the professors, and not very grudgingly. Usually most plentiful after picnics or receptions. See Prof. Amos after student has failed to give ten cents to S. S. class contributions. Deae De. Allen: — I failed to hand in my paper on time because I forgot it was to be done until too late to get it up. Industriously Yours, T. A. TUNNELL. Gentlemen of the Faculty: — Please excuse my absence from Chapel for the last nine months.

After years of experimenting- 1 have at last made a discovery that will shake the entire scientific world. I treat the scalp with my wonder- ful Hyer-Rays. These rays are similar to X-rays, yet totally different. My method of treatment is quite simple. The scalp must be soaked for several hours with sweet milk; it is then dried carefully and polished with pumice, and the Hyer-Rays applied. Hair g rows in profusion at once. THE MOST MARVELOUS INVENTION OF THE AGE Only one application of the Hyer-Rays is necessary. A thick head of hair is positively guaranteed. This is no fable. I have been try- ing all my life to get a Hyer-Rays and having at last succeeded, I want you, too, to be benefited.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS Euclid Virgil Cole.— 1. Regarding your Paternal Correspon- dence we will say that its humor is too delicate — too subtle — for the average reader. Take Bill Nye for your model and you may improve. 2. Yes, since you have taken the chair of English in the prep, we see no reason why you should not advance into the University. Miss Bektha McKee.— 1. We can hardly say whether or not you can get a school next year; from your photograph we judge that you are too young for a very responsible i)Osition. Probably the wisest thing would be for you to spend several years at home before sending out your applications. 2. We agree with you that Dr. Cook is an impostor; but for the opposite view, we recommend Dr. Mou .on ' s article. Chaeles Hosea Deal. — You had remarkable success, you say, with your liarps last year and we cannot understand why your typewriters are selling so slowly. Try raising the price from $30 to $50 — Southwestern does not like cheap things — and advertise in the Megaphone. Miss Mattie Sue Barton. — We appreciate your confidence in tell- ing us your love affairs and assure you that we will tell no one. We hope that you will have no more quarrels. W. BowDEN.— Your poetry shows some signs of genius; indeed, it is very good for a PREP. Study the methods of your gifted contem- porary, E. S. Miss BoYER.— We are surprised to hear that milk is so scarce and so high. If it is absolutely essential to your voice, you cau use the malted variety; it is a good substitute. Miss Abbie Adella Graham. — In reply to yours regarding the theft of your poster, we refer you to Dudley Whitcomb. Miss Mary Rose. — You are in a very perplexing position, since you cannot choose between the Phi and the Sig. Not knowing them, we cannot tell you which to Down(s). Mr. Allen Bass. — The passage which you cited— The brilliant moon shot its glittering white rays upon the green waves as they danced in glee against the dark brown edge of the rocky cliff — is not local color. We herewith return your letter, which is in itself the best example of local color we have ever seen; you will be sure to get an A on it. Miss Eula May Rollins.— Even though he did not send you any flowers the night of your recital, we do not think that a sufficient cause for returning his pin. J.E. Brown.— Beware! if she discovers with whom you walk from choir practice every Friday night, there will be trouble. Again, beware ! Miss Tyty Mayes.— We are sorry that you and Mr. Gillette were interrupted in your laboratory course in Hallology by Dr. Mouzon; still there is little danger of your having an invitation to a faculty meeting, for Dr. Mouzon keeps his mind on higher matters. Miss Lucy Dixon.— To be trite, The course of true love never did run smooth. Don ' t think that you have lost Mr. P. forever. Pretend that you are angry at him for a few days and he will doubtless begin to do some rushing himself. Lyndsay D. Hawkins, — The phrase which you have chosen for your motto comes from Homer via Cicero. We approve, of your changing it to ex mea lingua melle dulcior fluit oratio, since you are always called the silver tongued. G. W. Vaught (in Eng. B.): I don ' t believe a man ever lived who was all bad. Prof. Pegues: But the Bible tells us to the contrary. ' ' Vaught: Well, I don ' t believe it, for I never heard of a man of that character. Prof. Pegues: You must remember, Mr. Vaught, that there are, at least, a few things in this world that you have never heard of. Dell Watts: I sure think Hall Pierce is a ' cute ' little fellow. Blanche Youngblood: Ah, don ' t be a ' coke ' fiend. Earl Whitcomb Time: Year ' 09- ' 10. Place: Halls of the University. Girl: Any old girl. WHO ' S WHO IN S. U.

Frank Smith, as every one knows, is a very eloquent youth, and he is seldom reluctant to exercise his oratorical powers. So, when the Glee Club Boys had their picnic, Mr. Smith was called upon to say grace at dinner. After making the usual invocation of blessings on the repast, thinking that the occasion demanded something further, he proceeded to expatiate on the grandeur of nature. When he had, in his most impres- sive manner, spoken a few sentences, he halted, stammered, then ended with this climactic expression: And now, Oh Lord, bless this food and — and— heal the sick. Miss Smith (sighing as Prof, Moore came into the room): Oh Dear. Prof. Moore: Were you speaking to me! Gowan Jones (after chapel) : Chase me girls, I ' ve got a nickel. Miss Watson: Aleta, did you know that Mr. Westbrook is sick! Miss Garrison: I ' m sorry to hear it; but he won ' t even speak to me now. If he had been just a good friend of mine instead of being a lover it would soon be all right. You see he ' s insanely jealous of Mr. Neal and when he heard about my going to Austin with him, he was furious. Still, pooi- boy, I didn ' t think it would make him sick. Advertiser Booty: So you think advertismgpays! Brewer (Mgr. of Megaphone) : I do. In a good medium it pays the advertiser, and in a poor medium (aside) — such as the Megaphone — it pays the medium. But it always pays. Rev. Jno. Barcus had been called out of town and Dr. Mouzon kindly agreed to take his place in the pulpit. After the service was over. Dr. and Mrs. Mouzon repaired to the parsonage where Mrs. Barcus served a fine dinner. During the progress of the meal the hostess turned to Dr. Mouzon and said: That was a fine sermon and I enjoyed it so much. I ' m always glad to hear you. Mrs. Mouzon (forgetting where she was) : Yes, I was delighted, too; it is such a change to hear somebody who can really preach, Poet Bowdeii (inspired by the Muses) : What is more hindering to study than the music of rippling water in the spring time! arou Allen Bass (a victim of experience) : Five hundred animals buzzing nd your light when yon are trying to write an P]nglish theme, One day while the Mood Hall boys were eating dinner, a terrible noise was heard on the second floor; many of them began to rush to see what was the matter when Prof. Pegues arose. Don ' t get excited, boys, he said; it ' s only ' Break-neck-Barcus ' falling down the steps. REVISED VERSION OF 23rd PSALM Crip is my shepherd; I shall not want. He niaketh me to lie down beside the Prep; he fills my head with his old Math. 2. But if I walk through the valley of the San Gabriel, I will fear no evil; for (Jrip is not with me. He prepareth a table before me in the presence of mine Dutchmen : he anointeth my head with Mess Hall grease; my cup runneth over with watered milk. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; for I will not dwell in the House of Crip forever. (Preachek) Dawson.

It helps your credit, it gives you a record oi your business transactions to refer to. It is safer and more convenient to give checks than to carry money around in your pockets or to keep it at home, and the bank keeps your books for you. It helps the people in your community, it entitles you to the advice of the bank officials and helps establish your credit.
