D. foreword C IIERE are at least two places in every book of this nature in which the editor can freely express himself — the preface and the edi- torial section. The function of the former differs from that of the latter in being the space wherein matters relative to the hook itself may be discussed. In presenting to the public The Massasoit for 190T, we wish to draw attention to and explain the departures from the customs of former years. The reader will note that in this edition a larger space is devoted to cuts and a smaller j ortion to written material than is usual. Hereby we have tried to avoid impressing the activities of the Class of 1907, and of the Training School as a whole, upon the public by display of words, hut we leave the reader to judge of our success or failure from the simple presentation of facts. In doing this we hope that we have chosen those photographic representations that will he of most interest to those who l)eruse these pages. As this publication goes to press, the editor wishes to extend his hearty thanks to all who have aided him in the preparation of this volume ; to those whose contributions apj)ear in the succeeding pages ; to those who have used our columns for advertising purposes ; to students and alumni, whose subscriptions and lively interest have alone made this book possible ; and to the members of the editorial hoard, who thru many weary hours have toiled to make this effort a success. To you — students, alumni, friends of T. S. — we submit this humble volume. wm LmE im mm ®F OIL® T- faculty I-. L.

Craining School -paculty Gditorial Board H t ribute to T wo friends of the Craining School By prof. f). M. Burr I N Bnnyan ' s “Pilgrim’s IVogress, Christian and her family had but one Great-heart. We have had two, Jrlenry Lee and iNIrs. Woods. They have passed on before us, hut having ceased to be guiding hands, they have become guiding stars. They both gave liberally of their money, but they gave even more liberally of themselves, and their example constitutes an example that is priceless. Such lives permanently enrich an institution. They leave ideals, inspirations and traditions which are deathless. Every student who enters the school enters into the fellow- ship of these saints of God. The ideals for which they lived and strove are a sacred trust. Henry Lee was the very embodiment of the spirit (T friendship which is one of the fundamental qualifications for success in our work. Though an active man of business, he was never too busy to be the sympathetic and helpful friend of any man who needed what he could give. Class after class found a place in his big heart. Whenever he came to the school he brought a benediction with him. Many a man is doing splendid service for the Master because of Henry Lee’s helping hand. It was charac- teristic of the man that his last conscious thought was to help a young man who was struggling for an education. Mrs. Woods had the same genius for friendship, hut she looked at the school with a woman’s eyes. She saw that the Christian must always be the gentleman, and that gentlemanliness developed best in a home atmosphere, so she gave the school a building, which should have in it as many as possible of the refining infinences of the Christian home. The highest tribute which we can ])ay to her memory is to make Woods Hall what she dreamed that it might be — a center for the development of cul- ture, refinement, and Christian fellowship. Mrs. Woods’ motto for life might well have been that of a great English king, Icli dien, “I serve.” Her supreme passion was to be of use. 12 THE M ASSASOIT She was never so happy as wlicn she was expending ' herself lavishly in serviee. Someone has said that there are two kinds of people, those who lift and those who are lifted. Mrs. Woods was one of those who lifted, raising ' all those whom she touched to a higher level. r oth Henry Lee and Mrs. Woods had a prophetic (jiiality in their affection for the school. They saw with the eye of faith not merely that which was, hnt that which was to he. ' riiey saw possibilities for measure- less service to God and men in the struggling ' school and the struggling students, d ' he realization of their ideals rests ni)on ns. The ’onng Men ' s Christian . ssociation is Christian friendship or- ganized. It is strangely appropriate that these two pioneer lovers of the Training School should have been rare embodiments of friendship in its highest form. The very word friendship will have a new meaning to ns hecanse of their lives, and if we are loyal to onr inheritance, we also will belong tt) this royal order of friends. lUesscd are those who help, for theirs is the royalty of service! These lines, taken from W hittier ' s poem In Memory,” are fitting when a])plied to both Mrs. Woods and Henry Lee: — W ' arm of heart and clear of lirain, Of thy sunhriglit spirit ' s wane Tliou hast spared us all the pain. “ Now that thon hast gone What is left of one to say Who was open as the day? “ Mirth that lit hut never hurned ; All thy lilaine to pity turned. Hatred thou hadst never learned. “ Every harsh and vexing thing At thy home-fire lost its sting; Where thou wast was always spring. “ And thy perfect trust in good, Faith in man and womanhood Chance and change and time withstood. THE M ASSASOIT 13 “ Keep for us, O friend, where’er Thou art waiting, all that here Made thy earthly presence dear. “ Keep the human heart of thee, Let the mortal only l.e Clothed in immortality. “ And when fall our feet as fell Thine upon the asphodel, Let thy old smile greet us well.” In jVIemory of Doctor Durgin By Dv. 5Cl. 6. Ballaiitinc C l IE ' I ' raitiing; School sustained a heavy loss iti the deatli of the Rev. Dr. I)e ' itt Clinton Durgin, which occurred oti Decem- her 2. Six years ago, at the age of seventy, he removed to Springfield and made his home with his daughter, Mrs. L. L. Doggett. Although in no official way connected with the school, he at once tnade for himself a necessary jtlace in its life and found a cordial welcome atnong the students. Class after class elected him to hoitorary memher- shij). His tall, majestic form and long white hair and heard and his kindly hearing made him a notal)le figure in the reading room and lecture hall. Age had not in the least chilled his companionable nature. Ilis work had always been among the young, and his heart was young to the last. He delighted in hall games and all the social gatherings of the boys. He had an unfailing sense of humor and a dry wit that always drew an interested group around him. He illustrated the manliness, the geniality, and the dignity of the Christian religion in a way that none who saw it can forget. During these six years since his life work has been supposed to be closed and he has been in so-called “retirement,” Dr. Durgin has been quietly doing for the Training School an invaluable service in en- riching its ideals, ami he has left the memory of his exalted character to be added to our endowment of inestimable traditions. 6ditorials School publication C O years ago the death-knell of Xobody’s Business was sounded. The secret of the failure of that ])eriodical seems to have been that the snggestiem contained in the name had a reaction upon the students. Xohody cared much about it. Tho the student body at the Training School is small, there is no reason why wc should not publish a monthly, representative of all the activities of the school. While graduates of an institution arc interested in the discussion of technical subjects ])ertaining to their work, they are equally desirous of being kept in touch with the life of the students. Our excellent Seiiiinar caters to the huMuer desire in a mo.st satisfactory man- ner, hut is less i)leasing in its ai)])rcciation of the latter. The majority of schools, many of them no larger than T. S.. ])ublish a i)aper attaining both of these ends. T should he second to none. There are two possilile solutions of the ])rohlem which faces ns. The task of editing a representative sheet might he handed over to the Student .Association. I ' his body could then elect an editor who .should he assisted in his work by a hoard of six assistant editors — three Seniors, two Alid- dlers and one Junior, elected by their respective classes. There, of course, would also he a faculty editor on this hoard. The other alternative is ])crhaps more feasible. The present man- agement of the Seminar might he su])plcmented by a student committee of. say, four members — two Seniors, one Middler and one Junior, each chosen by his class. The forty or so pages allotted to this snh-committee would contain information regarding all the activities of the students, their recreation and their work, their lighter as well as their more serious thot. The publication that would result from some such plan as this would he representative of all sides of onr school life. THE MASSASOIT 15 On Dormitory Life ’hen grouped together in places where the refining influence of elder persons does not enter, young men have a tendency to become lax in their habits of life — their manners and dress. This holds true, to some extent at least, of Training School men. The “sweater habit’’ and other habits equally as undesirable frequently victimize us. These have a harmful influence not only on the individual himself, hut also on the student body as a whole. Some colleges have a certain uniform which most of the students adopt. In some “schools” the “hoys” are rccpiired to dress neatly, hut at T. S. there is no dress restriction — each man is a law unto himself. The financial problem enters largely into the life of every T. S. man and possibly influences him to he a little less careful in his dress than he would otherwise be. But to dress neatly one does not have to dress e.x- pensively. For a very small monetary consideration the things essential to neatness may be given proper care. It is said that “clothes do not make the man.” True as this is, they have an important influence in that direction. W’hen one is well dressed, when one knows that he looks and feels like a gentleman, other things being equal he will act like one. The reflex action of neat attire is very great. This is a question of importance to T. S. men, for no sooner are we graduated than we are ])rojected into the best society in the towns, cities or colleges to which we go. People will require of us neatness of dress and pleasantness of manner. W’e who have been negligent in regard to these matters during our years of preparation wfill find a sudden transformation by no means easy to make. INIany of our cant phrases, many of our apparently harmless actions, will not he tolerated by our new acquaintances. While at school, therefore, we should build for time and not only for the ])resent. If we are tempted to lower our standard of right, of propriety, or of conduct, let us be on our guard, assured that if we yield to these tendencies we will lessen our usefulness. They may seem to he trifles at the time, hut it is attention to the trifles that makes perfection, and “perfection is no trifle.” 16 THE MASSASOIT Breaking Cics Tlic time has almost arrived for anoth.er elass tt) I)e laimclied into the great sea of tlie world ' s aetivities. Tlio every man is glad that he is so soon to engage in the world’s work, yet we have a deep-seated feeling of regret when we think of having to leave the sehool we love so well, h ' or three years we have been in this student family, sharing its joys and sorrows. We have felt the inllnence of the hig-hearteil men and women who have been, and of those who still are. the frien Is of the sehool; we have received strength from the elasses that have preceded ns in grad- uation. and knowledge and inspiration from our esteemed faculty. I’efore our advent the school had built uj) a tradition and character of which any school might well he j)rond. I ' ml}’ onr heritage was great. Xow the ties that hind the Class of 1607 to the school as nnder- graduates must he broken. The time cT ' our departure is at hand. As students we have striven to do our work faithfully, to uphold the ideals of r. S.. and he heli)ful to onr fellows. We wish to extend our heartiest thanks to both students and faculty for their strengthening influence and encouraging advice. If we succeed in our work, it will he largely because we have receiveil our training at this institution, and go forth to the battle with the inspiration of her ideals and the broader view of the world and the deeper insight into the lives of men which she gives. Tho absent in hodv, we wilt he ever i)resent in sj)irit. and wash Godspeed to the Training School and to .all students who succeed us.

Siiean f)onorar); jviembcrs f)istory of the Claes of 1907 Three years have passed ; three summers, with tlie length Of three long winters! H S the last days draw near, the mind of the historian begins reminiscing on scenes and activities of the past. Like all true Association men, no thot can tind lodgment in his mind for any definite time without becoming classified under one of three different headings — spiritual, social, or physical. Thus properly and orthodoxly ar- ranged let us proceed. The religious activities of the Class of ’Of have differed somewhat from those of many of its ])redecessors. It has not been the policy of the class to conduct to any considerable extent organized religious work. The Student Cssociation of the school has an efficient religious work com- mittee, and believing that com])le.xity of organization often has an un- fortunate effect upon earnest, consistent religious effort, it has been the policy of the class to work in conjunction with that committee, instead of placing itself upon an independent l)asis. W ' e have ever been willing to supply men for work, both in the city and in suburban towns. This work has taken a variety of forms, a few of which might be mentioned : preaching: lectures: talks: hoys’ clubs, cennhining both the social and religious elements: a Church History class: city mi.ssion work, and also the furnishing of sacred music by soloists and by the class quartet. The weekly prayer meetings of the class have always heeir e.xceed- ingly helpful. This has been due not only to the earnestness of the men. hut also to the lack of restraint and formality which has characterized them. In uniting us as a class, nothing has been so successful as have 24 THE M ASSASOIT these little weekly meetings, often so full of the accounts of personal exi)erience. I ' roin the social stand])oint the class has much of which to he proud. X’arious functions have been conducted under class auspices. These have had the true social element to a marked degree, a result often .so hard to secure. ■ word must he said about “ ' e ()ld-’l ' ime Fireside Social,” which was held during the INliddler year. Xot only was an excellent program jirovided, hut a unicpie feature was introduced which made a decided ‘‘hit. We refer to the roll call, each memher of the class responding by giving the i)lace of his birth. It was discovered that not only were thir- teen states rei)resented, hut also the following countries: Canada, Aus- tralia, Ireland, aiul Ja])an. ■ n e.xcellent entertainment was also given in the Senior year by I ' rof. James Madison Chapman of Wesleyan Academy. Professor Chap- man. who is a reader of excei)tionally high merit, rendered a most inter- esting program of miscellaneous readings. IToin these two illustrations the reader might infer that our social life has consi.sted mainly of functions.” Such, however, has not been the case. The Class of ‘01 is a gn)up of social men, and has always been cog- nizant of the fact that sociability is an element of human character, and should find ex])ression not only on “stated occasions. hut should he lived every day. d ' he churches of the city have recognized our social qualities and have chosen several men to serve on their social committees. Last, hut not least, must follow a brief account of the physical prowess of ' O ' . ( ireat ability has been shown in this line of activity. .-Vs gymnasts we have been well represented on the gymnasium teams of the ])ast three years. ( )ur ability as a class called forth the remark from one of our instructors, that we were the best class of gymnasts that he had ever had the opportunity of teaching. .Vs athletes, much can be said to our credit. We have had many men on all school teams, and several men won school emblems during the first term of school in our Junior year.

In the gathering darkness Young carried the hall the length of the field and shoved it past goal kee])er lUickland for the only point of the day. Xo less exciting was the dnal track meet with ’ 08 . We can get the best and most accurate imj)ression by again quoting from a daily paper: “The meet was the closest in the history of the school, and was in donht until the last event had been nm off The different events were very interesting hecanse the classes were so very evenly matched. The lead in the race alternated several times during the afternoon, and it was easily seen that the class which had the strong men at the finish would he ac- corded the victory.

They have been very closely associated with ns as a class, and also as individuals. In the position they occupy towards us they are more capable of judging of our strong (pialities, as well as our weak ones, than are we. “ ' 07 has done much to establish a high ideal of the relationship of the students to all the property of the school, d ' hey have sought to make every member of the class feel a sense of proprietorship, the influence of which has been ver - marked upon the whole .student body.” “ ' 07 has some characteristics which stand out. Those that have impressed me most are these. . s a teacher I have always found them responsive in a high degree to the claim of the ideal in thought and con- duct. They have always been eager for the broader outlook and the wider horizon. 1 shall not remember this class so much for its peculiar individuality as for its strong personality, which is better. It is possessed by what we have called the ‘Social Spirit of Christianity.’ “Last, but not least, it is an eminently likable class, it has always created a pleasant atmosphere. It will he missed. “I think that its cpuck response to the larger appeal along all lines is the (juality that impresses me most. Class prophecy m ELL Carrie! How are you? I did ii’t expect to see you liere. Vvdieu did you come to New York? Great lecture, wasn’t it? Ah, that man knows what he is talking about. Did you notice how closely he said the Y. M. C. A. had been connected with many of the social reforms in our country? If his prophecy regarding our future comes true, some of us will have to work. But I doubt not that thru the Association wonderful social revolutions will yet be hrot to pass.” Thus did Foster greet Carrell in the lobby of the Auditorium at the close of the address hv ex-President Roosevelt. ‘T say, Carrell,” he continued, “it ’s been a long time since I ’ve seen you. Only once in ten }-ears? How fast time Hies! Well, Henry, come over to my rooms ; it ’ll be quieter and more comfortable there.” “These are my quarters, you see, quite near the elevator. Not so bad, are they ? This, you see, is my ‘reception’ room — a kind of lounging room and study, you know. Here I ‘worshijr sweet Morj)heus’ — that is, during the time that I get for that occiq)ation. And that is the bath. Fine quarters, you see — convenient, tho small. Now pull that chair up here in front of the fire and tell me what you ’ve been doing with yourself since we left T. S.” ‘A ’e used to say,” began Carrell, “that being good was such a lone- some job, you remember, Bailey, but 1 haven ' t found it a hit lonesome. I made lots of friends in the Y. M. C. A. out there ” “Out where?” interrupted Bailey. “Oh, 1 thot that you would rememljer about my going to St. Louis as assistant physical director! I stayed there until a year ago, when I went into business. I had a mighty good place, but did n’t like that kind of a life, so have come to New York.” “What do you think you ’re going to do here?” asked Bailey. “Do? Oh, amuse the public, act the clown in the Ilippodrome. The fellows at T. S. used to say that 1 was pretty good at that, you know. You ’d better come over and see if I ’ve improved any.” 30 THE M ASSASOIT “I ' or some reasons I like to, Carrie, but 1 might meet some of the fellows, and 1 ' d rather not eneonrage them to go there. They kind of look up to me. Pretty had thing to do, eh?” “W hat fellows? asked Carrie. ‘‘Why, the fellows from the . ssoeiation. 1 ' m at rwenty-third Street now, you know. When my eontract as teaeher of physical training in the city schools ran out, tlicy asked me to go over there, and .so 1 went. They said that their physieal director must he an M. 1). as well as a teacher. ' I ' hat ' s where mv course at Xew York Meil. came in handy and helped me to (lualify. I ‘ve been there for two years now.” W ho was there before you?” Reinhardt. 1 snp])ose _ ou thot that he’d he an artist before this, after the work he did for the class hook.” ’es, 1 should say so. And then he took indvatc lessons in Spring- Held, too. did n’t he ?” riie fellows used to say so, hut when he came down here the first hit of information that he gave to the hoard of directors was; ‘I ’m from ( Irange, ves. ' Fhomas Edison, Henry Reinhardt and other great men have come from that town.’ That was too much for them, so they fired him, and he went hack to C)range. The people took pity on him and gave him the job of re])resenting them at ' ashington.” “He must have worked a good bluff. lie always was pretty good at that, wasn’t he? Remember Royce’s laundry?” “W ell, I guess! P)Ut you ’re not going, Henry. No! I expect Burgess in after awhile. He will want to sec you. Mrs. Burgess is away, and he .said that he ’d come in as soon as the opera was over at the Metropolitan. 1 Ic ’s still managing the historical library for the International Commit- tee an l just latelv thev elected him assistant editor of Association Men. He’ll know where all the fellows are. Sit down.” ‘‘W’ell, if that ’s so I will stay a little longer, Bailey, hut you know I begin m ' work to-morrow and really should go to bed before the clock upon the wall is striking one — two — three. However, I want to see Bug. You still do some fencing? Say, where is Briggs?” Library Infl Y. M C. A. Co Springfield, Muss. THE M ASSASOIT 31 “Briggs is in the state reformatory. He went there a conple of years ago.’’ “In a reformatory? Why, what did he do?’’ “Do? I’m afraid yon don ' t nnderstand. He did good work and that ’s how he got the job. The government got their eye on him and put him in charge of all the physical work done there. He always said that there was a good chance for work there, you remember.’’ “W’ell, I hope he ’ll come out better than he went in. A lost of them do. But who took his place at Pcnnsy ?’’ “Bill Young went there as assistant. He wanted to study some more, and so they gave him the chance, if he ’d only be assistant coach, too.’’ “He ’s going to study medicine, I suppose?’’ “Medicine it is. He expects a bigger job when he ’s thru. In three years they ’ll want another coach, and he ' s looking for a i ermanent job.’’ “He always could look out for himself, couldn’t he? I guess he’ll let up a hit on that appetite when he ’s studied medicine awhile, eh?’’ “Very likely to, I guess. Ah! Here is Burgess now. Well, well this is quite a reunion. Hood evening, Burgess. Come in. I’ve an old friend here to show yon.” “Yes. Bailey said you were coming over, and so I stayed to see you.” “Well, I ’m mighty glad you did, Carrell. Let ’s see it ’s been ten years since I’ve seen you, hasn’t it? A good many changes have taken place in that time.” “Well, I guess! What do you think Carrie is here for? To act the clown. Sounds natural, doesn’t it? He begins to-morrow at the Hippodrome.” “Yon always were pretty good at that, Henry, hut I didn ' t think you ’d ever take it up as a profession.” change is as good as a rest, you know, Burgess, and I ‘considered that a change would do me good.’ ” 32 THE M ASSASOIT Sit down! Sit down, fcdlows ! It’s just as cheap. Tlicse .seats are not reserved. Henry, wliat do yon know alnnit Joe Wright?” The last I heard of Joe he was still at Chicago. Yon remeinher that he played on their team one }car since he left d ' . S. Of course he was their star man, and .so the management said, “Yon can coach next year at $2,000.’ Did he? Ah. good-hy. that ’s a sensible cpiestion to ask, isn’t it? Of course he did. and i)iit out a team that heat everything in sight, too. lUtrgess, have yon heard from the hum Xickle lately? Yon mean Hurt? Yes, not long ago. 1 supi)ose you know that he’s gone hack to Canada. No? Well, he has, and is in politics. Here is his letter. He says: ‘W’o have a nice apartment ( I suiipose he means his roommate and himself) in Ottawa. I have entered politics not so much to reform them as to ju’event their getting worse. Canada is pretty close to the Ihiiled .States, you know, and good men are needed.’ ’’ Ah, listen to that! said Carrell. I hoi e Petitcodiac doesn’t turn out many like him. “. nd he says that 1 lamilton is hack from Japan, continued Burgess, and has gone to Toronto to teach.” To teach ! ejaculated Carrell and Foster at the .same moment. What? h ' nglish? No! No! That’s got too tame for him. Five years of that in Japan was enough, lie’s teaching i)hiloso])hy and. what do you think! giving special lectures on Immortality. How ’s that? Haven’t you heard from Holmes or Kirkiiatrick ?’’ askeil Carrell. 1 did hear from Baldy. He and Shean started a private “gym,” you know, a little while after we graduated, hut Chauneey, it seems, would u’t let Kirk expostulate to him on any theory of evolution, and so thev .separated. Chauneey went into .Association work in the navy and has written a treatise on “How ' to Twirl, in four volumes. A few years ago Kirk invented a uenv hair restorer, on which he got a patent. He sold tliis for enough to keep him without working. He has set up a laboratory and is going to study the problem of the priority of the hen or the egg. He wants to get to the bottom of this evolution idea, you see.” THE M ASSASOIT 33 “And Holmes?” inquired Carrell. “He ’s l)een rather unfortunate lately,” said Rurgess. “While he was out in India he did fine work, but two years ago he came back and went to Columbia as physical director. Last year he broke down in health, — 1 know you will scarcely believe it, — lost his appetite and most of his strength, and had to go West. He ' s working on a ranch out there, hut his physician says that next year he may come hack to work again.” “S])eaking of physician reminds me,” said Foster, “that Warfield is now an M. 1). I picked up a paper the other day — I guess it ’s that one there, Carrie. Hand it to me. Yes, there it is. See his card : ‘Special attention given to massaging.’ A’ell, I guess he has n ' t forgotten all that Dr. Rill taught him, anyway.” “The year 1 was in business out West,” said Carrell, I saw the card of C. R. Kern in the real estate columns of a Southern paper. I wonder if that was Carl ?” “Why, yes!” said Foster. “I thot you knew about him. He was down here for some time, hut he persisted iu being late for everything, and thev dubbed him the late Mr. Kern. The hoard found it out and he got his papers. Then he went South, where everybody moves more slowly, and invested the profits of his athletic store — you remember when he kept it? — in real estate. I guess he’s doing well now. Marks re- signed his position in the railroad Association here and went in company with Kern. They got quite friendly while they were in New York, but Marks, poor fellow, Ijroke down just like Holmes, only he grew thinner than I’ercy, and was ordered West. He’s getting much better now. 1 had a letter from him last week. He says that he saw Dr. and Mrs. Werner not long ago, and that Fd’s Ijeard is as long as ever and that his fingers still cleave to his moustache. Ed is now a physieiau in a Western city. He has a good practice and is c[uite hai)py. “1 tell }Ou. a few years sejjarate us pretty well, don’t they?” said Rurgess. “We now circle the )be. d’here ’s Omori in Japan, Hen- drian in Germany, “Rutty’’ ( Ruttrose) iu Australia, and the rest of us scattered over this continent from Atlantic to Pacific and from the far North to the remote South. It doesn’t take long. We could scarcely hold a class reunion, could we? 34 THE M ASSASOIT “Hardly. P ut you haven ' t told us about these fellows. Don’t you know something?’’ asked Hailey and Carrie together. “I don ' t know very inneh,’’ returned Ihirgess. “As yon both know, Omori went to Japan .soon after onr gradnalion. He was made direetor of ])hysical education for the whole country to introduce . merican ideas into the work. He is still in that ])osition.

' Say, fellows, do yon sniipose he has ever tried to debate with the Emiieror?” ejaenlated Carrell, almost stunned by the news, 1 had a letter from Hnttrose not long ago,” resumed Burgess, after Carrie had calmed himself, “in which he said: ‘There’s no place like God ' s own country. May the . merican rush never invade it! 1 like to take my time.’ ” “ ' on bet,” said Carrell. “unless he ' s changed a mighty lot.” “W hat ’s he doing?” aske l h ' oster. “Doing? Why, he’s the whole thing down there; he ' s national secretary.” “Hut where are Roberts and Reichardt ? 1 thot that they were going to some foreign country, Hnrgess.” “1 guess they changed their minds,” observed Carrell. “Reichardt is in the shims and Roberts is in a show. It came about in this way: ‘The Commons’ in Chicago grew so fast that they simply had to have a physi- THE M ASSASOIT 35 cal director. When Reichie heard of it he said : ‘I suppose I ’ll get handed a lemon, but I ’m going to butt in. Good-by to the lemon.’ Well, he did and got the place. Rut Bobs’ case was different. He went back to Springfield two or three years ago and was preaching in the Beacon Light Mission, when in walked North, the advance agent of the Kiss in the Dark Company. Instead of Robs converting him he converted Bobs. ‘That fellow ’s a good speaker,’ he said. ‘I guess he ’d better join our company.’ And so he offered him big money to play the woman’s part. So Bobs said : ‘More money and less work in that. I guess I ’ll go.’ And he did. The company ’s traveling in the West now.” ‘‘Why, I forgot to tell you that while I was in the West I saw Jones and Anguish, and heard from Brown, but since we seem to be discussing all the fellows, I ’ll tell you what I know about them,” said Carrell. ‘‘Jones was in Nebraska. 1 saw him in Denver at a convention. He was teaching men near his home and said that he was having a fine time now since he had got away from that ])Oor Irish ’am. Anguish had left Y. M. C. A. work and was walking delegate for a labor union. I suppose his experience at driving posts will help him in working up strikes.” ‘‘He ’ll be all right at that,” said Burgess, ‘‘if he does n’t tell the labor- ers all he knows the first day.” ‘‘But Brownie,” resumed Carrell, ‘‘had done the best of all. You have, of course, heard about him, he’s so near you. He’d just been ap- pointed to supervise the railroad work in Pennsylvania. He ’s been a big success, has n’t he ?” ‘‘Yes, we knew about him,” answered Foster, ‘‘but had n’t heard of the other two. Are they still at those jobs?” ‘‘Yes,” said Burgess, ‘‘except Jones. He ’s now traveling secretary of the Association among the Sioux and is doing fine work. Now I suppose you ’d like to know where the re.st of the class are. Well, there are not very many more. First, there ' s Wood. He ’s still in Cleveland, Carrie. They ’ve just given him charge of the West Side Boys’ Club. The boys think he ’s all right, only he talks a little too much. And then THE MASSASOIT there’s Ratthei. He ’s a lawyer now in Providence, hnt says that he ’s going to move to Washington and l)econie a corporation lawyer. He thinks there ’s more money in it.” “I ' 11 bet he ’ll make a good one,” observed Carrell. “He got good training in that International Lycenm. Why, he was so good that they gradnated him before the end of the year. Don ' t yon remember?” Now there ' s only Peckett left, and he ' s doing one of the best pieces of work of them all. About five years ago he went to Fiske University to teach mnsic and coach athletics. That is rather a peculiar combination, 1 ' 11 admit, hut he ’s a mighty good inlluence. T only wish he were here to-night to play ‘Old T. S.’ for us on that fine piano of yours, Hailey.” “So do 1. lUirgess. It’s not usetl much, only when some of my friends droj) in. In fact, it ’s ju.st for their benefit that I keep it.” h gh ! said Carrell. “Von needn’t want for music wdien I’m around,” and immediately he struck up, “The train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.” “There, how ’s that? By jinks! look at the time! Why, it ’s one o’clock. 1 really must go. I have to catch the early train this morning, you know.” “The early train, said Foster and Burgess, surprised. “T thot you said that you were going to play the clown in the Hippodrome to-day.” “Well, 1 should say not. Tliat bluff worked all right for sure. I ’m on my way to Boston. Roberts has resigned and I ’m going to take his ])lace. You ’re a bright one, Burgess. 1 thot you were supposed to keep track of everyone. M ' ell, good-hy, okl man, I ’m sorry I got ahead of ou. Cood-by, Bailey. We’ll meet often now that I’m in the East. Ciood-hy.” “Good-hy, Carrie,” said both Bailey and Burgess. “Curse yo’, Burgess,” remarked Bailey, “why didn’t you know that? He ’s the same old boy, is n’t he? A strange mixture of folly and sense.” THE MASSASOIT 37 Cbc prophecy on the prophet In his house beside the roadway, Close beside the busy roadway, Sat an old man sad and thotful.

Cunningham “ Nae man can tether time nr tide.” 8 (d sang ' tlie poet, and so we feel wlicn we realize that nearly two years of onr Training School days have passed. Happy days they have been, too. . ltho they have gone (piickly, they are fresh in onr minds, and it is because of them and the joys of onr present frieiulships that we look forward with unfeigned pleasure to the year that is l)efore ns. No man of Naughty Ifight can ever forget the experiences of onr first year — the getting accinainted, the initiation, the tnrhnlent class nieet- ings, ' the first exams, and the athletic victories. Out of all these grew a feeling of nnity which deepened as the year passed. In the spring this found expression in a “camp out” supper np the lake. Every man had a part on the program, and every man felt as iiever before the value of class fellowship. The songs we sang together in the quiet of evening aronnd the dying campfire made a lasting impression. ; part of that evening’s celebration was the launching of the Canoe 1908. Onr class was the first to have a caiioe of their own. It was launched with songs and cheers and all the customary ritual, even to the christening with an alcoholic beverage — Peruna. THE MASSASOIT 75 The summer vacation and its consequent separation of friends passed more qnickdy than we anticipated. The good times of tlie summer paled at the joys of the return to “Old T. S.’’ When “hand grasps hand” and “eye lights eye in good friendship,” there is a joy which none but the initiated know. Many were the stories told of summer exjjeriences — of fortunes ( ?) made in the “view business,” in selling farmer’s account books, or some other equally remunerative job. But a number of our men failed to return, and it was with regret that we learned of their in- tention to work or study in other fields. Their loss, great tho it was, has been repaired in a measure by the number of college men — right good fellows — who came to join us. Thru action of the faculty our secretarial men were this year exposed to “thesisitis.” Ordinarily they would not be so afflicted until the Senior year. The disease “took” and the entire school is now unusu- ally familiar with its symptoms. It is hoped that all may recover by commencement time. Next year they can join the ranks of the happy immune. A class social with some unique features for entertainment was an enjoyable event of the season. At this social. Professor and Mrs. Burr and Professor and Mrs. Berry were welcomed as memhers of the class. We had conformed to the time-honored custom of electing honorary mem- hers. No douht the class of Naughty Eight has been made ethically and ph ysically stronger thereby. In athletics our class has maintained its reputation for hard i)lay and clean sport. ( )ur men have filled important ])Ositions on all the ’varsity teams, and the ’varsity ice hockey team was captained by a Naughty Eight man, Metiuire. Six of our class have won ’varsity emblems. These few events give but a meager outline of the past two years. Such an outline can best serve by recalling to mind the lesser and, to indi- viduals. perhai)S, the more interesting incidents which surround these mountain peaks of our course. 1 909 Hssociation f ootball Ceain CQinticrs of the ' Junior- Mtddlcr Championships Cbc Class of 1909 THE MASSASOIT T9 junior Class 1909 Class ell Oh skaglii !

Onrs stands as the record class in the nnniher of men enrolled. We started with an enrollment of thirty-nine, hnt during ' the course of onr history to date we have lost live memhers and gained four, so that now thirty-eight sons of Old T. S. rally round the banner of brown and white. It was on the evening of September ;:3() that we were initiated into the third degree of the Massasoit and were received into the fellowship of the upper classmen. These men were experts working with ; 1 material, and the results were gratifying to all concerned. ( )n September ‘TS the first class meeting was held and temporary officers elected. November 1 witnessed the installation of permanent officers. On October 5 the Student Association honored ns with a reception in Woods Hall, at which time it was onr ])rivilege to meet the faculty and their wives in a social way. Thru the generosity of some unknown good Samaritans, we were able to eat, drink and make merry on Thank.sgiving Day. After listening to the eloquent after-dinner remarks of Afr. H. W. Northcott on this occasion, we felt sure that we had made a wise choice for the class ])residency. From the athletic viewpoint. Naughty Nine has a record of victories as clean as it is long. Onr soccer team won a fiercely contested game THE M ASS ASOIT 81 from the Middlers I)y a score of 1-0. The annual rugby game with the Middlers w ' ent to us also. The score, 4-0, testifies to a spirited game, and our team w ' as in it all the time. Three Naughty Niners won their em- hlems in ’varsity rugby, and five more won ’varsity soccer emblems. The INliddler-Junior ice hockey game, played February 25, was a good “practice” game for our fast team. The score was 10-1 ; the Middlers 1. The l)asket hall games were presented to us by the scores of 34-14 and 33-14. Thanks, Middlers.

The performing of this duty early engaged the attention of the old members of the organiza- tion. So thoroly were they impressed with the greenness of the candi- dates that it seemed wise to make snch applications of lamp black and water as would rid them of this ohjectionahle line. W ith due dignity the King presided over the ceremonies and conducted them to a most suc- cessful issue. The beneficial results have attracted much comment. Since all the candidates were not present on this occasion, it became necessary to repeat the administrations later in the year. It was early on a hriglit antnmn morning that a comjiany of eighty or more men hoarded an open car and started for Mountain Park. This outing was to take the place of the annual chestnut hunt, for nuts were scarce and the farmers hostile. In place of nuts and ajrples we found the invigorating mountain air and extra hearty apjietites. During the day the majority of us climbed the steep ascent to the Summit House. At 4 : ; () our “s])ecial” was again laden with hnman freight and homeward hound. W’e will not soon forget the ride, the climb, the lack of beefsteak at dinner, or the footprints of the gigantic animals of long ages ago.

The twenty- ninth of Xovemher was a day of unusual eujoymeut. Our hosts were unknown to us. hut this fact docs not make ns less thankful to them for having ' contributed to this time-honored festival. Ranked C(|ual with this as a scK ' ial function is the football reception, which was held this year on Decemher d. There the eighteen men who had fought our battles ou the gridircni during the previous two months were awarded their T. S. in recognition of their faithful work. During the month of March Mrs. Doggett very kindly consented to give her lecture on “Ifgyjit before the students and their friends. So vividly were the heantics of that laivl i)ictnred and the ])cculiarities of its |)eo])le ])ortrayed that the andicnce were led to look forward to the time w hen they, too, might enjoy a tour thru the land of the Pharaohs.

Some in athletics, some in studies shine ; Some seem to have a spark of a divine Fire, which travels o’er some other line. Now all of these I ’ll not essay to tell, But only mention cases that are well Established, and have hrot the fellow fame. Whose gift is always thot of with his name. Carrell, for instance, oft has won renown With song or nonsense, posing as a clown. Buttrose and Conklin, our two poets fine, Write verse in comic or in serious line. Then comes Jud Freeman, with his magic arts, A social genius, tracked by broken hearts. And Anguish, too, a social star would he ; The way to get there, tho, he cannot see. For social graces, too, is famed George Pratt, Noted for novel reading and for fat. . ' nd Graves, until one night a chair he broke. And got a lemon from Mount Holyoke. Reinhardt comes next, of Royce’s Laundry fame. Then Hendrian, bulwark of the German name. If e’er you want a light or need a fire. Just call upon McNicol or McGuire, And Phillips’ hair, too, “hot air does inspire. To get some inspiration for this life. Try Werner’s way, — first whiskers, then a wife. Old Bing does twist his feet in clogs with ease. And Roberts’ readings never fail to please; Or if some great applause you would call forth. Just get some first-class acting done by North. Our old friend Shylock, better known as Kern, By selling goods athletic did cash earn. 120 THE MASSASOIT But sold his graft to Id. A. Cookenstine, Already famous iu the juggling line. And dreamer Kirk, of honor had his share, For showing brains coidil never grow with hair. When Beckett plays you cannot keep your scat, But must express your feelings with your feet. Coe, also, for good music has a name. Ami Bandlow’s hildle brings its owner fame. We often think, “Did Draper choose aright. By keeping talent such as he has out of sight?
