In the list of names embellishing the pages of Susquehanna ' s history, none deserves more to stand first than that which heads this sketch. He is a man of unimpeachable character, of quick and ready sympathy, ever directing toward the highest, noblest and best. A man of scholarly attainments, frank and generous in his dealings, winning in manner and respected by all. His perceptions are quick and clear, his judgments calm and accurate, purposes good and pure beyond all question. His integrity is all-pervading, all-controlling and incorruptible; his will indomitable. Dr. Focht, son of Rev. D. H. and Susan (Brown) Focht, was born in Chambersburg, Pa., July 20, 1851. He prepared for college at Missionary Institute, and entered Pennsylvania College in 1871. He was appointed orator for the anniversary of the Philomatheon Society in 1873, and in the oration delivered proved to the world that the honor had not been thrust upon him in vain. He was awarded the Hassler gold medal for proficiency in Latin, and in 1874 received the Graeff prize for the best essay on Tennyson ' s Idyls of the King. He graduated in 1874 with first honors and the valedictory. During 1875-76 he was proctor of Pennsylvania College, and the next year was appointed principal of the Preparatory Department of Pennsylvania State College. He was ordained in 1876, but did not enter the active ministry until 1887. After graduating from the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg in 1877, he accepted a call to the vice-principalship of Missionary Institute, and in 1881 was chosen principal. From 1881 to 1887 he held the principalship of the Preparatory Department of State College. In 1887 he was called to St. John ' s Evangelical Lutheran Church, at Lewistown, which he served until called to St. Peter ' s at Barren Hill, in 1894. In 1899 he was called to Trinity Lutheran Church, at Selin ' s Grove, where he labored with eminent success. During the autumn of the same year he was elected instructor in Theoretical and Practical Homiletics in the School of Theology at Susquehanna University. In 1904 he resigned his pastorate and became president of the University, in which position he is laboring with the utmost zeal. In the pulpit Dr. Focht has met with grand success. His discourses are always logical, argumentative and instructive. His remarkably rich vocabulary and close distinction for the proper word cannot fail but bear the intended truth to the listener ' s ear. For the class-room he is especially well fitted. He possesses the power of so presenting his subject that even the most sottish student can not fail but be interested. In general, to hear him marks that sure characteristic of genius that prompts to higher achievements in whatever may be the line of work. It was fortunate for Susquehanna that Dr. Focht was elected president; for out of chaos, or affairs fast drifting to chaos, his strong hand, clear brain and resolute purpose brought order, safety and stability. Let every student, every alumnus and every friend unite their component forces and assist the hands that are now struggling with might and main for Susquehanna, and in future years we shall reach that goal when Susquehanna can offer to her sons and daughters not only a complete education, but also a peerless name.

The professors were uncertain whether it was a meteor, comet or planet. They examined it by the perfect telescopes of musty languages and stiff mathematics and pro- nounced it a Freshman constellation. It appeared higher as well as smaller in size ; the professors tak- ing another view of it declared it was a Sophomore constellation. It rose higher and increased in bright- ness. They examined it through the improved lenses of mind, matter, time, space, light, heat and soundand after a process of a posteriori reasoning named it a Junior constellation. Now it has approached the zenith and the professors after having carefully con- sidered the time of its appearance, the progress of its course, and the brilliancy of its members, have de- clared this object to be the class of 1905 and have agreed that it is one of the brightest as well as most beautiful constellations that has ever arisen in the heavens of the Susquehanna. This constellation contains the lucky number seven. The members are closely united, whether by the charm of the number or on account of the ex- 25 treme good nature of the individuals we cannot deter- mine. The class meetings in which the ring ap- peared to dominate, will never be forgotten. The originality and uniqueness of their character are truthfully shown by the records. In the class room many new and startling revelations were made con- cerning the number of the elements of the earth ' s crust, the contents of the ocean, the reptilian age and the circles of the celestial sphere. The members aided by the attentive attitudes of their classmates, have attained such a degree of proficiency in their ability to lecture on economical and theistic questions that it would not be idle to predict that they will win for themselves places of honor and distinction. Commencement day is almost here. The mem- bers of the class look forward with pleasure to that eventful day, the one longed for th roughout their course when they shall have finished playing their little part here and shall have entered upon the larger stage of real active life. The thought of fulfilling the plans, attaining the desires, realizing the hopes naturally gives to each feelings of joy although the thought that this is the last year of college life with its freedom, companions and happy associations is not unalloyed with regret. No more will the members of the class of 1905 meet in the halls of Susquehanna, no more will they wander over the hills of the surrounding country or along the banks of the placid river. Others will come and gaze upon these familiar scenes, partake of pleasures similar to our own, assume our places and be granted the privilesres we now enjoy. The class of 1905 will go forth and may each member carry with him the motto Animo non Astutia and prove himself and herself an honored and respected citizen and a loyal and devoted child of Susquehanna. Historian. 26 Class Prophecy Wliile walking alimg upper Broadway one evening, not long since, my attention was attracted to an illuminated sign. The sign was quite an elaborate affair, consisting of incandes- cent lights arranged so as to spell the words, The Futuro- scope. My interest was aroused at once, as it was up to me to do a little peering into the hazy future myself. And perhaps this wonderful invention could assist me in ascertaining the future whereabouts, and positions held, by the heterogeneous bunch of misfit lirains known in the musical parlance of the mummified Selin ' s Steddleites, as the Dignified Seniors. Entering the Ijrilliantly lighted lobliy, I stepped up to the box-office and inquired whether it would be possible to ascer- tain the futures of the Sacred Seven who composed the class of ' 05. Being assured that the powers of the machine were equal to even so great an accomplishment, with this condition attached, however, that the revealed future should not exceed ten years hence. I then wrote the names, ages, size of shoe, color of eyes and hair, of the members of the class, on a card, and returned it, along with a few symoleons, to the man in the box-office. An attendant opened the door and bade me enter. Lack of valuable space renders a detailed description of the apartment impossible. Suffice it to say, then, that it resenj- bled a theatre-box looking out onto a stage. As soon as I was seated a pale blue light, tinged with orange and brilliant red. lit up the stage. The curtain seemed to dissolve from view, and there before my eyes were the numerous buildings of Susquehanna. Yet the place looked strange. Gilded crosses were placed over the entrances to the different buildings. A high wall surrounded the campus, and on each corner, as well as over each gateway, large crosses were to be seen. The blue light faded away while the red and orange tints flooded the scene w-ith a soft, beautiful glow. Strains of solemn music, from a pipe organ, floated out upon the quiet evening air. The doors of Seibert Hall were opened and about fifty nuns marched slowly out, each one with bowed head, telling over tlieir beads. They soon scattered around the campus, some walking, some sitting on the rustic stone benches ' neath the trees. (_)ne of tlie sisters, wearing a habit of dark blue, with a huge crucifix suspended from her waist by a loose belt of gold rope, advanced to a seat near to where I was located. She slowly raised her head and turned her face towards me. My surprise was boundless. I started forward and said, Hattie ! She smilingly answered, No, not Hattie any longer, but ] Iater Superiore la Harriette. She pressed her rosary to her lips for a moment and continued, Seven years ago this place changed hands, and I renounced the world, forsook the name of Harriet Mae, and entered these cloistered walls. I was about to ask how it all had happened, when the scene changed from the peaceful, quiet convent, to the interior of a large, three-ring, two-stage, brilliantly lighted circus tent. The regular circus performance was about over, and the great hippodrome races were to take place. A man mou ' nted the center stage, placed a large megaphone to his lips, and announced : Ladies and Gentlemen, it gives me very great pleasure to announce to you that the greatest, highest salaried, most unique novelty ever offered to your no- 27 tice is about to appear. Madenioiselle Anitta Maymee Gussaza- bolena, The Whirlwind Wizardine, will encircle the Hippo- drome Track thrice, in her lj 10,(X)0,0(K) jeweled chariot, drawn by sixty-six milk-white stallions. There was a fanfare of trumpets, the band struck up a lively air, the curtains parted, and out pranced the sixty-six horses, six abreast, the tra].ipings on each one being of gold. Then the golden chariot, studded with rare gems, burst into view with its sole occupant robed in a flowing purple costume. In her one hand she held the reins, while in the other she wielded a huge whip. Round the course the maddened steeds whirled the chariot, with its fair driver, whose eyes sparkled and whose raven tresses floated tn the breezes. Would she be able to make the short turn into the dressing tent ? It seemed to be impossible. Never slack- ing speed, but cracking the whip more and more as she sped around for the last time, she neared the turn, and like a flash of lightning, guided the fiery steeds through the exit and was lost to view. So this was my erstwhile glass madte, Anna May ! I closed my eyes in bewilderment and thought of the difference between The Strenuous Life and The Simple Life. iSoon I heard someone say, This is Main street, Keokuk, Iowa. Turning towards the stage I saw quite a busy street scene. Close by was a fairly good sized tobacco store. In front of it stood one of the usual wooden Indian signs, the regulation box of wooden cigars was held in one hand and a pack of tobacco in the other. I gazed at the sign for a moment and noticed that it had dreamy blue eyes. Also, that about seven teeth were exposed. There seemed to be some- thing familiar about the general listless appearance of this wooden Indian. Suddenly it dawned upon me. Great Hevings! It must be Heim. Immediately Keokuk and Heini faded away. Now the interior of the Subway Tavern was shown. But alas, how changed since the time it was formally opened by the learned Bishop. The bar, with its large mirrors, and countless bottles and glasses, extended along the one side. Small tables were arranged in a semi-circle on the floor. Men and women were seated around these drinking and talking. ( )n the other side of the room was a small stage. In front of this was a piano being played by a blonde-haired lady of rather generous proportions. A young fellow, with stooped shoulders, emaciated face, and a lighted cigarette between his yellow, uneven teeth, placed a large placard on the side of the stage. On this card was printed in large letters : Mons. Clay, The Silvery Voiced Tenor. The blonde lady struck up the intro- ductory bars to the Drinking Song, from Girofle Girofla. Soon tliere appeared a tall, slim, bald-headed, rather boyish-faced man. He rendered liis first selection with much gusto and fervor. Kesponding to an encore he warbled, Moozey lamie. After liowing his acknowledgment to the audience, he opened a small door at the side of the stage, and came over to the bar and asked for a glass of lemon pop. As he reached for the glass our eyes met. I threw up my hands and gasped, Whit ! At this moment the lights were extinguished. Be- fore long, however, a dim light disclosed the scene of a lux- uriantly furnished room. Heavy curtains of dark green plush were hung at the large bow window, while rich oriental drap- eries were arranged at the wide arched doorways. At the corner of the apartment nearest to me stood an iron safe. The old fashioned clock struck three. At the third stroke of the bell the room was in utter darkness. There was a very slight noise near the safe. I saw, by the rays emitted bj ' a dark lantern, a man rifling the safe. By the rapid movements of his hands one could see that he was an artist in his line. .lust as he reached for the lantern a voice spoke out, Hands up, or I ' ll shoot ! Immediately the roimi was flooded with light. Two officers stepped down to where the safe expert was standing and clapjied a pair of hand-cuffs on his wrists. The burglar stood erect and for the first time I saw his face. Ye gods and 28 tea berry leaves! It was Ike Ajip. Before I cmild say a word the lights, police, room, Ike and everything vanished. Everything was changed. Here was a large room ; the walls were hung with richest tapestry ; the floor being covered with silken rugs. Palms, ferns, and other choice tropical plants were tastefully grouped about the salon. Thousands of incan- descent lights, with saffron-colored silk shades, twinkled from the ceiling and from the fluted marble pillars. An orchestra of stringed instruments, concealed behind a bank of orchids, discoursed the latest popular airs. Seated around a long table were well-groomed men, and elegantly gowned women, each one staking gold, silver and bills upon the turn of the roulette wheel. Games of bridge, poker, and other forms of gandiling were going on continually at smaller tables, and in different parts of the room. My attention was drawn to a couple whose conversation I could not help but overhear. They were dis- cussing a man who had just entered the room. I looked in the same direction as they were and saw a rather stout man, fault- lessly attired, but for one thing : he displayed too many dia- monds. He wore a two-button, white silk vest. In his shirt front were three diamond studs, each one being about the size of a twenty-five cent piece. His cuff links were of two solitaire diamonds, and on his watch fob was an immense fleur de lis of the same flashing gems. He wore rings on each of his long, slim fingers, these also were set in large clusters of diamonds. The lady, who turned out to be a noted burlesque artist, re- sumed her conversation. Yes, that is the great, world-re- nowned plunger, Lorice Cardell, the proprietor of this sumptu- ouslv a])pointed resort. We have been very good friends ever since he struck luck here in Chicago. She continued, He hails from some country town in Pennsylvania, and is a graduate of a small jay college also. His real name is AUenbach. At the mention of that name I looked again and wondered whether this gray-haired, bejewelled person could really be my old classmate, Glaudie. Watcliing him move about greeting his guests I was at last convinced. At this juncture I began to enumerate the members of the class whose futures had already been revealed, and found that only one more was due. But this one would be of more than passing interest to me. When all of a sudden I heard a whiz- zing, whirring, groaning sound, something akin to the last treble falsetto of a tangled up, overdue snore. Spurts of blue- green flame shot out from all parts of the stage. Wondering what all this pyrotechnical display was about, I began to feel somewhat uncomfortable, when the door behind me opened and the attendant informed me that he was very sorry, but the future of the last person handed in was too much of a strain on the machine. It had twi sted three of the largest cog wheels out of shape, and had put the Futuroscope out of busi- ness for that night. I was ushered out onto the street, boarded a down-toun car, and was soon reading a paper before the Society of Young Married People on how to live extravagantly on seventy-three cents per week. Prophet. 29 Commencement Meditations They say ' tis time to bid tlie last farewell, Commencement day is dawning and the swell Of music strikes upon the Senior ' s ear, He pensive meditates in thoughts sincere: — O ye familiar scenes, — ye trees of pine That shielded us so oft in free recline ; Ye hills where flora shows her richest gems, Thou river that all babbling noise contemns ; Ye halls in which we spent so many days Attaining progress in fair wisdom ' s ways, — Farewell. The hour has come for us to part Your memories e ' er will cling within the heart. The lessons that you taught will linger long ' Till life shall sing to earth its parting song. O college days, you too, we ' ll greet no more, Thv hours blithe and free like times of vore Will take their place in memory ' s picture book In which through recollection we will love to look. O father time, you made the days too brief, Unlike the moments bearing pain and grief, Wliicli seem to linger like dark clouds above Dispersing never to reveal the sun ' s warm love, But like unto the cheery lark at morn, Arising, voice atune, from the hawthorne, Its notes harmonious all the air do fill But soon the cadence fades and all is still. And classmates, must we also say adieu? Yes, — we must part to enter life anew . Ah me ! the time when first our faces met Seems only yesterday to us and yet How we have changed within this space so brief. In aspirations, hopes, loves and belief. We had our mutual trials as well as joys Not much unlike the davs when girls and bovs. 30 But now life ' s scener} ' changes witli this day, The world ' s broad stage on which we all must play Our role before our great Creator ' s eye Is stretched before our minds yet young and shy ; O, may we act our parts •ith vim and skill That others ' hearts with courage we niav till. We long to enter broader fields of strife, And there engage in active things of life. Each has a jilace to fill in this great world. For opportunity has long unfurled Her gleaming banner to attract our ej ' es, Forbidding us her callings to despise. Farewell, then, college scenes and days, farewell, We loved you much as mortal tongue can tell. Your ashes shall be kept in memory ' s urn But yet we would not wish for your return. In the great book of Life we ' ve passed the page Where pictures bold portray the student age. Away with all things old, salute the new. Hail, future scenes which curtains hide from view. We greet you, then, Commencement Day so fair. Your gav and festive hours we all shall share.

We had already won the dis- tinction of being the first class to be graduated from the Pre- paratory School of Susquehanna University, an honor in which ahnost all of us shared. After stealthfully organizing nineteen-six immediately floated the blue and brown and won the annual Flag Scrap from the Sophomores by pro- tecting the pennant the required length of time. The second term was opened by us stealing away in a special to Milton, where we held our annual banquet. This victorious year closed with 1906 winning the inter-class base ball champion- ship. The next year, as Sophomores, we had been in college but a few days when our commandments to the Freshies were posted. A lad who thought he was very Foxie did not observe one of the rules of the procs concerning stiff hats, and after making his appearance with one, retreated to the room of several other frightened Freshmen. Like desperadoes brandishing their revolvers, these verdant youths talked about what great things they would do, if attacked. However they did nothing. In the meantime the Sophomores had gained entrance into the daring Freshman ' s room and secured the enviable hat. The class artist then made several sketches in the boudoir. Paint was in evidence the next morning and the Freshies broke no more rules. Later we held our second annual banquet and closed the year by winning the inter- class cliampionship on the track. But now we have reached a new chapter in the history of 1906. That potent class is now the Junior class. The frivolity of the under-classman ' s life is passed and the field of stern reality looms up before us. Toward what end are we striv- ing ? Shall we accunuilate vast amounts of wealth and play the role of the philanthropist ? Shall we become leaders at the bar, in the pulpit, the mills, the laboratory, the affairs of the state ? All these are very good in themselves, but the goal toward which the members of 1906 are striving is to be good men and women. When we have reached that goal, then and then only, may we look back to our college days and cause our Ahna Mater to feel no shame on our account. Historian. 39 Class Poem I. Life is a strange, mysterious thing ; The flower blossoms, fades and dies ; To-day, man lives in vigorous life, To-morrow, in Ins grave he lies. Swift and oft changes the scene. Sometimes sunshine, sometimes shade. But blending these two together Most perfect summer is made. III. The great, tlie nolile and the good. All have this path to tread ; They, too, life ' s battles have to tight. They, too, life ' s tears have to slied. Onward and upward day by day. They struggle on — a triumphant lianil, Leaving behind them, as they go. An example of purpose true and grand. IV. We would not ask for a life of ease All radiant, as snme have done. We want some shadow and shade To temper the glare of the sun. No mortal should expect to be. While in the form of human clay. Free from dangers, doulits and fears. Trials, temptations and dismay. So we, in our sphere of life, As Juniors, knowing that life is real Will leave for those who follow us, A pure, high and grand ideal. Be noble, this is our motto true. For as o ' er mankind we scan. We find with sorrow in our hearts Tliat lliere are few truly nolile men. 40 V. VII. We try to lend a helping hand To those we meet each day, And hope that something we may do Will help them to the better way. The beauty of the flower should be seen Before its bloom is shed, A rose given to the living Is better than a wreath to the dead. But in spite of this, dear classmates, We will bear bravely and be strong, For ui the end ' tis always better To suffer than be wrong. So, instead of brooding o ' er the past, We will keep our eyes on the bright side, For life means something to us now ; Wisdom has opened our eyes wide. VI. VIII. .)ur path, a smooth one has not been, Many battles we have fought. We have stood alone at many times Our friends have left us oft for nought. We have even been called a clique. Because for progress we have stood, And there are those who hate us, And would do us ill if thev could. And we hope we nuiy not see The faults in those we meet, But the beauty of their virtues ; And thus our lives be made complete. May our lives be full of kindness. Helpfulness, truth, grace and love, Until we exchange our positions here For citizenship in the realms above.

Necessarily it is a true exposition of some facts that have gone to make the lives of men noble and great. The History of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Seven has not a record that causes any reluctance, on the part of the Historian, in narrating to the minutest details every occurrence. So the History of this illustrious class will be one of ideal accuracy. When we joyfully returned to dear S. U. in September, our only regret was that two of last year ' s number were missing, but we heartily welcomed four new numbers to our ranks. We became thor- oughly organized and were quietly enjoying College Life until two o ' clock on the morning of September nineteenth, when our peaceful slumbers were disturbed by a strange noise which proved to be the rendition of the Freshies ' yell. At dawn we saw eighteen little Freshie boys seated near Selin ' s Grove Hall, around a maple tree, and above which waved their pale colors. At a brief meeting of the class it was decided to shoot the pennant down, and the great marksman, Hoover, was stationed at a window on the third floor of Selin ' s Grove Hall, to await the signal to fire. The signal is given. The very first shot pierced the staff and their pennant bowed in humble submission. The violet coloring all being shot off the pennant, nothing remained but the ' 08 flag of Truce. In the meantime the boys of ' 07 were bravely 45 struggling with the Freshies who outnumbered them three to one. The deep humiliation of ' 08 was only- spared them by the interference of the foot ball coach who in order to keep the important members of the team in proper order for the coming game, stepped in and ended the Class Rush. It was decided to leave the flag of truce up only twelve hours instead of twenty-four hours and neither class should claim victory. Some most unbecoming posters greeted us that same morning, upon which were bold and rude say- ings. When ' 08 discovered that their language was altogether unfitting when addressed to a Sophomore class of our standing, they most humbly begged to be pardoned for their presumption, and after considering their mental deficiency we made due allowance. The most important event of this year, the one fondly anticipated and most pleasantly recalled, was our Class Banquet. Nothing — neither Freshies nor other minor annoyances — marred the pleasure of the occasion. This second annual Banquet was held at Park Hotel, Williamsport, Pa., in elegant style. We feel sure that from t his institution no other Sophomore Banquet has surpassed this one. It is said, a joy shared is doubled, but as it would take a volume to tell all the joys of our Ban- quet, we are only withheld from sharing them because of space. Our class is well represented in athletics, having three men on the foot ball team and two on the basket ball team and one the manager of it. Three of our men are on the Editing Staff of the Susquehanna. Our marksman has charge of the Library and Reading Room. Yes, we are only eleven, but eleven that the col- lege may be proud of and without whom it could not exist. Historian. 46 Nineteen-Seven Class Poem Great oaks from little acorns grow Thus has it always tjeen, Foul earth is liid by purest snow- As charitv hideth sin. Behold, high up in yonder tree Unfurled at dizzy height, It is the Freshies ' rag you see Of Lavender and White. Oft ignorance is considered bliss ; The fool may think he ' s wise, The trouble, tlmugh, dear friends, is this He looks through follv ' s eves. The cheese-cloth stood up there unfurled Upon a five-cent reed, Till the Class of Nineteen Seven hurled Their wisdom at that weed. Sometimes the ocean ' s calm and mild, Oft whipped by Fury ' s lash ; Oft peaceful as a little child, Then like youth ' s actions rash. Thus is the life of every one At morning, noon or night, But when the sun his course has run, We ' ll conquer if we ' re right. In every fight might makes not right As often is supposed ; But it is true that right makes might And stands to wrong opposed. ' Tis best in most events of life To seek for rest and peace ; But it is right to engage in strife And cause the wrong to cease. Came such a time one stormy day Way Ijack in last October, You wonder what it was, you say? A fiag to topple over. Beneath the tree in bold array Thirteen Freshmen stood, Ready, if need be, to enter the fray But not to spill their blood. They stood, like chickens in the rain With feathers drooped, and head Bent low, for deliverance prayin ' From the cook-pot and the dead. But lo ! five Sophs on the scene appear The foolish children to teach, Sh, listen! What is that we hear? Is asked of each by each. A shot rang out on the morning air ; The pennant tottered and fell ; And from the crowd of students there Arose a mighty yell. Those Freshies frantic with rage and cold, Brave did at first appear, But cold ? well, ' tis a trick r f old, Thev trembled with liorror and fear. 47 The cheese-cloth caught in the limbs of the tree ; (You know the tree was green) And Freshmen, of course, I know you ' ll agree. Are the greenest of anything green. The battle raged, unequal through- Five against Thirteen ; Till we had taken them into tow As could be plainly seen. Of course they claim the victory, The Russians do that too ; Or, they retreat so orderly As to almost bathe you. Those Freshies got their tattered rag And in their childish glee Carried to town that fallen Mag To a photograph gallery. You know the conqueror always received The arms of the conquered bands. And though our word won ' t be believed. We received the Freshman ' s hands. In closing this scene one word we have, A thought to which we ' d give vent — AVe far rather prefer to be brave Than Freshman president. Lo, Satan and his fallen mob, Bent on unlioly mission, Were from the gates of heaven cast Because of vain andiitiim. And falling, falling, through the air Till days and nights had altered. They sank and withered in deep despair; In Hell ' s abyss they faltered. Now Freshies, with your coat of green. From Satan take a warning. Lest all through life you be seen Base ignorance adorning. As days and weeks and months go by As decades go and come. We, all of us will bravely try Esse Semper Optimum. And trying then as we ' ve begun We ' ll bravely face each test; We ' ll labor on till life is done Always to the best. Then on and on o ' er life ' s domain With obstacles we ' ll cope- Always battling in the name ( f Purple and Heliotrope. We ' ll remendier too, in this land fair That sweetest Mower that grows Is the one to which none can compare — The beautiful La France Rose. Royal Purple and Heliotrope And the beautiful La France Rose Will lead our souls to strive and hope Ahvavs to be best.

SO rreshman History At last the anticipated day arrived, and une by one the members of our class embarked on the beginning of our four years ' course. We had been fully organized only a short time when our united efforts surged fortli to bring about our first victory that enshrines us as Freshmen. We had waited long for the Sophs. to make their pres- ence known, but evidently we were traveling the straight path, without any wanderings aside, for they never tried to teach us, as they had been taught, not to wander. Thinking us far too wise for any suggestions from them, they resolutely closed their lips and waited for further instructions. They came quite soon, for when it was evident that they would not lead w e set forth alone. That night, early in October, just when the moon was bright and full, and shedding hers( ' t rays upon the earth in all their splendor, shall be ever memorable in our history. All were wrapped in the peaceful folds of slumber, as usual, except the ' OS ' s, who were holding a Cfiuncil of war, and if the slumbers of the Sophs. had not had such a deep bass ring, they might have been well aware that the Freshmen were astir. It was agreed in that council that before the stars should grow pale the violet and white pennant of ' 08 should be seen floating from the top of the smallest tree on the college cam- pus, defying to the limit the courage and united efforts of the Sophs. in an attack. Eagerly they worked, and while some raised the pennant, others, armed with paste and buckets, proceeded to post bills telling of all the good qualities of the Sophs., and praising their brave deeds in carefully prepared language. By 2 o ' clock we looked with perfect satisfaction upon our work, completed. Tlie morning was foggy and damp, and although the sun was late in rising, not so with the Freshmen, for quite early the air was tilled with their yell, and all eyes were turned to the stalwart little maple at the foot of the Tennis court. But where are the Sophs. ? Can it be that they overslept them- selves ?_ (- h, no! Chapel is over, and still they are invisible; finally, one by one, with countenances likened only to those of victims approaching the gallows, they step forth from the protecting walls of Selin ' s Grove Hall. But lo ! one is missing from their ranks, and presently the report of a shotgun is heard. 51 Ah! that is the sigiiaL At once the Sophs. gather on a bunch, with hands upstretched, to catch the falHng pennant. But no; six, seven, eight volleys did not bring it down, and bullets all and Freshmen tilling his room, the sharpshooter was compelled to make an unconditional surrender, and the hands of the Sophs. fell hopelessly by their sides. Then, indeed, was it time to be up and doing. War was declared, and the din of battle was soon heard. Long and hard was it fought by both contending classes, until finally the ' ' Sophs. ' ' were hopelessly bound in one great ' ' Gordian knot. ' ' The first half is over ; then the upper classmen interfering, they are loosed, and once again renew the battle. The second half is begun, but ' tis of no use ; they are forced to surrender, and Violet and White still floated. Peace having been made, college li f e flows on again snioi it lily for a time. But scarcely had we made our debut in college, and the fall term passed, when a great sorrow fell upon the class. )ur band had numbered well, compared to those above us, and one short term of i)leasure and work we sjjent together, and then— We parted at vacation time, When all of us some pleasure soug:ht , mid the season ' s grayest clime. . fter fall ' s lessons had been taught. But one there was among us who had no dearly cherished home, and through force of circumstances passed his short vacation in Selin ' s Grove. While here he was taken seriously ill, and on the last day of the old year Mr. Louis Whetmore was taken from us, none of us being able to witness his death save a few in attendance. To trv ti sav how much ue miss him. and mourn his loss, is beyond us, but most certainly a place is vacant in our class that never can be tilled, yet it was By God ' s own infinite wisdom He bereft us of one we loved. How well he entered that kingdom Only His caller rests assured. We were only home for a little while : But our classmate is forever In that home God says is thine When earthly ties must sever. In fondest memory he holds a place Within that none can fill, . s time, her widened sphere unfolds To those who can, if they but will. He always had a smile to lend. Or a cheerful word to urge one, While ne ' er a scowl did ever blend Kven his glance when most wanton. We all deemed it a pleasure To be mingled with him daily. When undaunted in his measure He helped us late and early. To-night, on yonder barren hill, His earthly form lies deep and cold : But time won ' t be so long until The earth on us will lay its hold. Classmates. God knew His own will best. Which one of us now, to-night. Could better his calm will attest. . s we hold ourselves in his sight.

Together ni:) v, our little band Have organized the brightest crew That ever left our chosen strand, Urged by the clearest breeze which blew. Even the sky gave us her hue, Reflected in the violet, While, by the pure white foam, we knew Nature, our colors did protect. ' JVoH Nobix So um, may it be The rudder of every hope. As we sail on life ' s changing sea, Whatever chance our worldly scope. Our tidal wave of victory Undulated all the Soph ' mores, Who sank beneath their memory The keeping of our Freshman laws. They know full well our beacon-light Is on too firm a foundation ; For them to dare assert their might Would mean complete isolation. ' Twas but to help them live aright In view of purer principles, That we e ' er went into that fight. When they made such festive ripples. To do what here we find to do. Is our submarine boat of force ; And in it all to keep the dew Of inirity, our one resource. The eddy ' ing Soph ' mores did their best, . nd with the vainest efforts try To win renown at the first test; But glo ry, how we made them sigh. The selfish life may well be said. To behold nought for another; But that the heart is in the head When assisting some lone brother. . s we all need the help of God, So some in life, when brightness fades. Need aid from us as on they plod Throughout the whole of all decades. To always live and have in mind The sore wants of those about us. Is the only way that mankind Can relieve bv what he does. 53 Inspired by noble motives To accomplish some wortliy aim, Is the best desire that lives In the seekers of earthly fame. So we, while here in old S. U., Have a yearning for all that ' s good, In those who ever liave been true, Or in Susquehanna have stood. So may our voyage lie through life. Despite the many barren rocks That daily make us so much strife. But never prove our shipwrecked docks. And when it comes (eternal fate), May each one guide another one. To enter at the narrow gate And everlasting life have won. 54 v REsWvn v Class of Nineteen-Nine Colors — Orange and Purple. Flower — Violet. Motto— Esse quam videri. Yell Boola ! wakka !

When we first came together we were somewhat new and inex- perienced but we have settled down into the routine of our work and have become better acquainted and begun to develop. We feel that we have learned a great deal in our course but that there is still far more to learu. We have always tried to perform our work faithfully and to live up to our motto, To be rather than to seem. Our class is not behind our predecessors in athletics, as we have representatives in all the teams who take active part in them, and we have not only contributed material to the second team but als( to the Varsity. In literary society the class has taken a very active part. In music, debating and reciting we have always done our best, and there is scarcely a session in which there are not some ofourclasstakingactive part very acceptably, and the same in ever ' special session. Our social relations have been of the most pleasing character and whatever we have undertaken in that line has proved to be a fine suc- cess. At our first class meeting we chose our yell, wore our class pins for the first time, and displayed our colors, orange and purple. And since then we have enjoyed many pleasant and sociable times. We feel that the Sub- Freshman year is a very important year in our history and when graduation time comes and we bid each other farewell, it may be that we will not all return next year ; so let lis make this year full of pleasant memories and ever be true to the orange and purple.

Tlie first is Hartwick. It was in the mind and heart of Rev. B. Kurtz, D. D., LL. D., of Baltimore, for years that the Lutlieran Church of America needed a theological institution of a peculiar type. When, in 1,S. (), he brought his proposal before the hiryland Synod, that body, after prolonged discussion, adopted it, and appointed a board of trustees. These trustees were Revs. B. Kurtz, D. D., LL. D. ; F. R. Anspach, D. D. ; J. M. Cron, D. D. ; Geo. Diehl, D. D., and J. O. Butler, D. D., and five lay- men. Of these, the memorable Rev. Dr. Butler, of Washing- ton, is the sole survivor. The Rev. J. A. Seiss, D. D., LL. D., L. H. D.,the great preacher and voluminous author, a mem- ber of the Maryland Synod, and later President of the linis- terium of l ' enn,sylvania and of the ( ieneral Council, supported the movement. Started by such men, and being a part of Missionary In- stitute as opened in Selin ' s Grove, Pa., in liS5,S, thistheological school has trained hundreds of men for the Christian ministry. The Rev. Henry Zeigler, D. D., was professor from 18-iS to 1881. He was a sound theologian and a good teacher. He prepared Vjooks and compends covering most theological studies. His published works were : Dogmatic Theology, The Preacher, Catechetics, The Pastor, Natural Theology and Apologetics. Besides these. Dr. Zeigler published many articles in reviews and other periodicals, various addresses, lectures, etc., and had other able papers ready for publication at his decease. Rev. Peter Born, D. D., who had been principal of the classical department from 18. 9, became theological professor in 1881. He was an able and versatile theologian, excelling in logical ability, in homoletics, and especially in biblical knowledge. For forty years he taught in Missionary Institute and Susquehanna University, and was highly esteemed for his ability and fidelity as a teacher. At the earnest request of many former students, he was preparing his fine work on the Bible for publication when, in 1899, he was called higher. During Dr. Zeigler ' s period the Rev. Drs. B. Kurtz, S. Domer, P. Anstadt and P. Born taught some subjects for vary- ing periods. During most of the period from 18S1 to lS9(i, Rev. J. Yutzy, D. D., taught some while serving as pastor of Trinity church. From 1 S9() till 1904 Dr. Yutzy was professor, teach- ing various branches. Since 189.5 Rev. ,1. R. Dimm, D. D., has been one of the professors. Rev. C. W. Heisler, D. D., was a professor from 19(X) to 1902. Rev. J. B. Focht, D. D., during his pastorate of Trinity church, from 1899to 1904, taught for three years. Beginning with this school vear, the professors have been: President, Rev. .1. B. Focht, D. D. ; Rev. ,1. R. Dimm, D. D., and Rev. Frank P. .Manliart, D. D. Several special things may he noted : Susquehanna Uni- versity was chartered as an institution of the Lutlieran Cluirch, and, vvliile it has primarily served the General Synod, it is ready to serve the entire Church. Many of its students have become distinguished for their services in missions, pastorates, administrative positions and authorship, such as Drs. I ay, Harpster, Rhodes, Haithcox, . lleman, Owen, Zeigler, Leisening, et al. Men from it are found in the General Council, Missouri Synod, Ignited Synod South and the Gen eral Synod. This year its students were all college graduates, and from four colleges. It aims to give such a training in the whole range of theo- logical discipline as will fit its graduate for efficient service un- der present day conditions. Further provisions for an enlarged library and an increased teaching force, for scholarships, lectureships, etc., are desired for increased efficiencv and usefulness. 62 Susquehanna University Conservatory of Music Motto — ILmblem — Colors - Thoroughness Fern Royal Purple and White Yell Whole Note !

All guilt and care most quickly flies When tones of singing sweetly rise. And gone is envy, hate and wrong, And sorrow flies off at the song. And malice, avarice and greed. Far from the tones they quickly speed. And all is well within the heart. For sin in singing takes no part. Ciod ' s blessing rests upon the tune And for each mortal ' tis a boon, f ince Satan cannot weave his spell Where tones of lusic softly swell. All people know how David ' s song King Saul ' s existence did prolong; His harp-tones and ricli melody Caused the king ' s sorrows swift to fly. And by sweet music men are stirred To listen to (iod ' s Holv Word. Tlie above is taken from a poem in praise of nuisic, which Martin Luther wrote as an introduction to a little book enti- tled Lob und Preis der loeblichen Kunst Musica. By H. •Tohann Walter, Wittenberg, 15. ' W. With a poetical introduc- tion by Dr. Luther. Louis C. Elson, in his National Music of America, says, The poem seems scarcely known to some of the biographers of Luther, yet is important as showing the musical creed of the reformer. 67 MISS CLARE kRALL.

Would we say tlien that these thousands are dead to art? No. There never lived a man who at some time dur- ing his life was not thrilled by the power of some great ora- tions, or even the smooth and beautiful conversation of some fellow man. We are justified then in calling ( )ratory the great- est of all art. Its influence in shaping history has been even greater than the influence of the sword. And this art every one is capable of developing for himself. The student who does not develop it is surely doing un- wisely. For it makes nt) difference how sublime a thought one may think, if he is unable to express it in words it amounts to little or nothing. A wise and necessary step was taken by adding Oratory to the regular college curriculum. This year the work is entered into with a different spirit than heretofore. Our esteemed teacher has made the students to feel that it is his or her duty to learn to read well. ( ne thing inily is of more literary importance than to read well, and that is to speak well. Both of these are essential for an accomplished lady or gentleman, and it is very gratifying to see an advance- ment to a marked degree in our university. Every one who desires to do himself creilit on the rostrum, in literary society or elsewhere, surely appreciates heartily the invitation from the head of this department to give her assist- ance in the preparation of the same. The . rt of Oratory is not spontaneous in its ])erfection, l)ut takes long and faithful hours of practical work to be developed. The latent talents must be cultivated if the best results would follow. The tir.st oration of Demosthenes did not sway nuiltitudes, as did his last. Many long and weary hours of practice by the roaring seaside were liis foundation to fame. !Man is judged by his conversation. The close criticisms in pronunciation and inflection, taught the student in the class ro(nn, soon become applied to his conversation and improve it wonderfully. Oratory lies not alone in the power of swaying thousands, but just as well in arousing the feelings and emotions in daily conversation. It is a commendable fact that Susquehajina has her !)ratory Department vested in one who is so capable of inspiring true oratory into the hearts and minds of her stu- dents. Oratory that will be an honor to herself and her stu- dents as well as the university they represent. 71 ■ :- - ikz . ..l■frr1to- - ' -iw- - SW w f? f V l - - H SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Commercial Department V.

Lilly, tlie office ste- nographer at flie time, responded. Mr. .lohn C. Beck also gave instruction in Bookkeeping. The growing demands for this work were so strong that in 1902 a special Business Department was established with Prof. Ambrose L. Smith as its first principal. Miss Winifred Stevens and Mr. Edwin P. Sones were his assistants. In September, 11104, Prof. Smith resigned, [iss Anna 1. Kahler was elected teacher of the Shorthand Department, and Mr. Sones continued as teacher of the Commercial Depart- ment. On January 1, 1905, Prof. W. W. Reno accepted the principalship of the Business Department with Miss Kahler continuing as teacher of the Shorthand Department. This department has had a steady growth and promises to be one of the most popular departments of the institution. Parents are beginning to realize the fact that their children ' s training is not complete without a business education. A thorough Commercial education, with a ])ractical knowl- edge of Shorthand, is the most valuable accomplishment any young man or woman, entering business life, can possess. It is equivalent to a scholarship in the great business world, and the student draws a good salary while receiving instruction. If you have a business ability in any direction, it gives you an opportunity to show it. It brings you into direct con- tact with the business world. It places you on a direct road to preferment, and opens the way to the highest executive positions. Tlirougli no other avenue can a young man or woman enter business life so advantageously. Every business concern now employs a stenographer, and nuvny of the hvrger ones employ scores of Shorthand assistants. Were the great army of Stenographers, at present filling responsible and lucrative positions in the Ignited States, to cease operation for a single week, correspondence would be suspended to such an extent that business would be paralyzed. We not only offer students of this department a training equal to the be.st, but they have other advantages and privi- leges not to l)e found in the ordinary business school. In addition to a college campus, which affords every op- portunity for out-door exercises and games, we have a gym- nasium which has no superior in the state. The moral t(uie of the institution is tine, and her students are justly proud of the University on the banks of the Susque- hanna. 75 NORMAL SCHOOL The Teachers ' ILlementary Course First Year Howard E.

Discourse . 11 things finite at some time had a beginning, (ireat accomplishments usually have a small beginning. The mighty oak, as it towers toward the sky, tells to us the story that it at one time was but an almost insignificant acorn. An efful- gence of light cannot be endured by the newly-born babe ; a single ray at first is sufficient. So we, although now at the foot of the ladder, are daily adding abstract pebbles of vari- ous magnitudes, and filling the interstices with Cf)ncrete, which, indeed, has proved a strong foundation to other neophytes. We fully realize that the completion of our architectural struc- ture means toil and perseverance, and although the path to- ward greatness yet seems fuliginous, we hope for and await a brighter to-morrow. 82 S T :fm- Co-ILducation The progress that woiuan has made in advanced study when given equal privileges and facilities with men, has almost silenced the old notion that she cannot acquire the highest forms of education, or at least that she cannot cope with men m the acquirement. The Philadelphia Ledger verj ' properly observes that it would be a step backward in civilization to deny to woman all access to the institutions of higher learning in which men are educated. But the same paper further continues by saying, There is reason to believe that many young women who go to college desire simply to pass a few l)leasant years there prior to marriage. They do not care to sacrifice society and social diversions. They do not look on their college studies earnestly as fitting them for their life work. There is even reason to suspect that many such young women, or their parents, expect to further matrimonial pros- pects by acquaintance with male students at co-educational institutions. Such young women have no place at a college. The protest of male students against them is well founded. There can be no doubt that some young women go to col- lege to spend a few pleasant years and to carry on flirtations with male students, and, perhajjs, with the hope of contract- ing a desirable marriage ; but it is certain that many young men go to college, not to study, not to equip themselves for the serious problems of life, but to have a good time and to be in a better position to interest and attract the girls with whom they desire to a.ssociate. It can be said of them, as of girls whn do not study. Sucli VDUng ujen have no place in a college. In an institution wliere the two sexes are educated there are probably as many young woman who would be jus- tified in protesting against the conduct of boys, their failures as students, their lack of college spirit, as there are male stu- dents who would be justified in protesting against the matri- monial wiles of the fair sex. We have a university in which co-education has been the rule from the beginning. The standard in it has never been lowered for the accommodation of women. ( )n the other hand, many of the young ladies have made themselves peers among the foremost students of the males, nor has there ever been enough matrimonial fever to threaten the usefulness of the in- stitution. We hold that there is no better place to study a man ' s or woman ' s character than in the class room. It ex- tends a Icing way in developing the same. What is more es- sential in a college course than the formation of good char- act er ? Co-education is ideal when it is carried on with proper restrictions and limitations. Any university or college tluit would lower its standard to accommodate a woman woulil dn so to accommodate a man, for it is not the woman, but the student, that it wants. It is not the student that is accom- modated, but the college or university that wants the money the student will pay. But such a college is not fit to educate anybody. The true student will not then be justified in pro- testing against the admission of the woman, but against the policy of the college. R. F. H. iiii. 84 ORWUZAIIONS ' •? IV 1 ! iG S ii ' rku. Pliiln.

Their influence and power lies in the fact that the ' suiiplv a need which nothing else in the college course can do. The college curriculum is not sufhcient in itself for the highest development of individuals. There is more required in the complete man than merely intellectual power. The full-rounded man must be able to meet his fellow- man on an equal footing; must be able to express his con- victions forcibly and clearly — in a word, he must be a man among men. This is the ideal a literary society must always have in view ; without this, it will be a failure. Every institution of learnuig, be it large or small, has as modes of development, in addition to the curriculum, cer- tain different organizations, by which it m akes itself known to the outer world, and through which it hopes to gain pres- tige as an institution which not only has within its portals men who are well tlevclo[)ed in every particular, but which has at its command the very forces that jjroduce such men. However, because of our aptness to judge too hastily from what is most striking to the senses, we lose sight of the quiet, unpretentious work of the literarv societies which furnish the material that forms the ver ' backlione of evcrv public man ' s career. The Literary Societies are offering at i)resent the great- est advantages known in the history of Suscpiehanna. Dur- ing the past year Philo has been right abreast with other organizations in the movement for the improvement of the student boih ' . We aie confident that the society ' s ])owers as developers w ill never ilechne, if the students in the future will but comply with their leniands and adjust themselves to their forces. The historv of Philo is a historv of success and pros))erity. In all her workings she has not bowed to the opinion of }X)wer and pleasure seekers ; but with dignity and due formality she has held herself aloof from those things which taint the honor and mar the glory of any society. The Philo of this past year has been the Philo of forty- six years past, ever changing, always improving — a force which makes for the betterment of men.  V literarv society, like all other college organizations, is continually in a state of transition. Each vear takes from us valuable men. Their i)laces may be well filled, l)ut the influence of their work goes on forever. The general charactef alone remains, and it is for us to see that we leave it lietter than we have found it. 94 DlGW Clionian Literary Society Motto— Mentalis Ordo et Moralis Dignitas.

It is not our purpose to [iiddish any startling reve- lations or exhibit vast upheavals of success during the past year, but if Clio can but show marked degrees of jjrogress from the year of its origin until the present, that it has ex- ceeded the expectations of its founders, and satisfies the de- sires of the existing niendiers, then we can truly endorse the truth of the above apjiropriate maxim. Perfection is not attainalile, but Progress is the hand- board that directs us to that goal — it is the spirit of the age — and Clio has l)een drinking of that spirit in large draughts, but yet her cup remains full, it is inexhaustiiile, there shall be enough to hand down to future po.sterity, ami fill them with the same devotion, earnestness and zeal that possesses us. We look with pride ujwn her past achieve- ments, with satisfaction u])on her present, and into the future with a sense of security foi ' her welfare. We are truly grate- ful for the elimiuatidu of the old feud line, and for the pres- ent friendly spirit that exists between our two literary so- cieties. It means Much to the school, inure to the literary attainments of the societies, an l mod to the development of the individual mendier, that this happy relation continue. Without it, it means narrowness of mind and selfishness in character. Clio has recently beautified her hall by the installation of a new and handsome Chickering Grand ])iano, which adds much to the furnishings of our comfortable literary home, and the pleasure of the mendiers and visiting friends, and has already [iroved invaluable in our regular and special sessions. The ])rogrammes of the past year have been of a high cu ' der, evincing care and taste in the selection of deliatable questions, and the |iroductions of the man ' performers have reached a remarkable standard of excellence. But it is not alone in the regular sessions that Clio ha.s excelled. Her in- creased membership, with the jseculiar fitness of each one, made it i)ossilile t(.i elevate her recent s]iecial sessions, sur- jiassing all jirevimis recoi ' ds, and evoking the admiration and l)raise of the |iublic for the high classed originality and talent that was displayed. S|)ace forliids description of any one special session, but the manv visitors present bear witness to the pleasure and worth of these delightful (Uversions. We seek not books, not wisdom alone, nor a jiinnaele of fame, for if we strive for mastery, for supremacy, and ftr- get the ke ' flower — Charity, with which to a lorn our dig- nity, all oui ' attainments, all our material success in this life, will be as nuid, and our ettbrts tor usefulness in this busy world will count f(.)r naught. It is for us as Clionians to raise aloft the banner (jf Mentalis Ordo et loralis Dig- nitas, and bury its sentiments in the leep recesses of our hearts, that wherever the future finds us, it may take root, and germinate, and spread its healing influence for good in this sin-sick world. 97 Look round the habitable world, how few Know their own good, ot knowing it, pursue. — Dnjden. 98 Jhfloii ' atriar SoaVti; Philomatrians Clay Whitiiinyer President.

Men must be developed har- moniously in order to reach the fullest genuine growth. The college curriculum supplies the needs for the mental develop- ment and in like manner the different sports in which the student can engage during the year affords the means f(_ir physical training and perfection. The Greek at one time took much pride in agility and physical beauty. They thought that it was more important to have the body, rather than the mind, educated. Little or no attention was given to disciplining the mind. Later other peoples fathomed the other extreme and the muscles of the body were left undeveloped. Now a symmetrical develop- ment of both is proved to produce the best results. As a college course is supposed to elevate and purify the mind ; so athletics should be kept pure and clean. And in order to do so it is necessary to exclude adverse elements. In solving the problem at Susquehanna, pure college athletics would debar two classes. One of the most common things that degrade athletics, is commercial athletics. Men who are given inducements in money to come purposely for athletics. These men are usually professional men or endeavoring to attain proficiency. Such persons do not have the institution at heart, because they are not interested, other than in athletics, and conse- quently they care very little how they represent the university. This does not include men who are given scholarships. Many a man has, in this way, secured a college course and in turn recompensed to his institution a reputation for pure athletics. A man like this is conscientious about his work as an athlete, and is a credit to his college. A second thing that causes much trouble and finally in- troduces impurity is electing non-college men to captaincy. And more specifically by placing a man in this position as an inducement for him to return. A man who is at an institu- tion only for the season of one sjiort is not qualified for such a position. First, the man ' s character is often not of a com- mendable quality. And secondly, he does not realize the true significance of college athletics and consequently does not have the prestige to deal with college men. Again, no man except a college or post-graduate man, is about an institution long enough to feel his responsibility. The college man is here for four years. He has something invested and for that reason is more deeply interested than the others. Pure athletics is a most valuable element in college life, but like our own, most colleges fail to remedy the matter satisfactorilv. ♦4 5|i 120 1904 Toot Ball Team Thomas B. Ui!ER Manager. Geo. G.

They receive far less honor than is due them. The very name, by many people, is accepted with ilerision and spoken of with re] roacli. At Yale, they are called the College Team, and in most of the other Colleges and Universities they are known as The Reserves — the surplus, the raw material. How- ever, the so-called Scrubs have an inqHirtant part to jilay in the Athletics of anv college. How are teams trained ' ! How do the men attain that precision in movement iiiid iliscernment which makes a winning team? It is by ]iracticing against the Scrulis, the unde- velo])ed, unskilled men who, as it were, are green at the game. This practicing, this training and correction of faults, again.st a strong secoixl team determines to a large degree, the success of the ' arsity. But the Scrubs do not always remain Scrubs. How many ' arsitv teams remain intact after one season? Some vacant places must be tilled on the Varsitv. Where do we look for material l)ut from the Scrubs, who in the former season were un- developed, liut have now liecome promising candidates for the team. They are The Reserves, the source of closing up the breach In the Varsitv. A strong ' Scrub ' team makes a winning Varsitv, is an anxioni accepteil in Athletics. Whatever name, therefore, that we apply t(j this mass of indeterminate material, whethei ' it be the Scrubs, the Reserves or the Col- lege team, let us remendier that some of this material will develop; that at least some will rise to a higher position, if in reality such there be, and that they need our assistance. Let us give Honor to whom honor is due, and bv our cheers, and also bv pen- onal encouragement show them that their true worth is appreciated. 126 1904 Baseball Team I. W. BiKGAMAX Manager. F. J.

When tlie trees come nut a blodiuin ' an ' the birds be iii to sing, An ' yon hear tlie ])lii v Imy hollerin ' , tlien yon know itsconiiii ' spring, Tlien the cows begin to nilible an ' tlie Iambs begin to play, An ' tlie rooster steps ' ri nnd in a sort of independent way. ), the sight of ajiple blossoms and of cherry IdIossoiiis too, An ' the robbins tintterin ' near yon, jes like they allns do, Makes a feller feel good an ' happy an ' prouder than any king When the trees come out a bloomin ' an ' the birds begin to sing. II. Wlien the winter is all over an ' the sun begins to shine, . n ' your appetite is sharp ' n ' d long afore it ' s time to dine, Fer the plowin ' an ' the grubin ' an ' tlie huslin ' all the while Out there in the big clearin ' , when the warm sun seems jes to bile, An ' to shine down on a feller kindo straight and hot, you bet Long about the noon hour off comes the coat an ' begins the sweat , An ' he takes the water jug an ' starts ' cross the meadow for the spring, When the trees come out a bloomin ' and the birds begin to sing. III. In the garden is lots of sjiadin ' an ' hoein ' to be done, An ' a ' fellow don ' t git mopin ' or walkin ' Init jes lias to run, Durin ' the whole day he ' s got to work an ' don ' t git time to stop Unless a thunder show ' r conies u]) an ' the rain begins to drop.

When the trees come out a liloomin ' and tlie liirds liegin to sing. IV. When the taters are all sprouted an ' the corn begins to start Up through the ground, it makes a curious feelin ' about the lieart, An ' you sit there a gazin ' up an ' a lookin ' at the trees. Then at the flowers that are jes full of birds an ' buzzin ' bees, Then you hunt up your hook an ' line an ' go tisliin ' for a spell, An ' no language has yet been written to tell the joys you feel As you sit down there on the old rock with a tish upon the string. When the trees come out a bloomin ' an ' the birds begin to sing. V. You may talk aliout your city an ' the liig dinners you git there. Where the people kindo seem to jes live ' way up in the air An ' where they haul you in ' mobeels an ' street cars right from your door An ' where you go up stairs in a thing they call an elevator, But out around liere them stylish things don ' t figure up a bit, Bring us common ordinary stuff, if you want to make a hit. Lemme have the sunshine ' sted of smoke, ' .sted of fountain a spring. When the trees come out a bloomin ' ' an the birds begin to sing. 149 Did you notiee?

First, these wise old seers agreed that half of the building should be unroofed. Accordingly, they pro- cured several master Wdrkmau (?) and soon the bits of the ancient tectum decorated the round-abouts. Persistently they labored all day long, but, true to the old adage, Things are not what they seem, night tnuml the roof l ut barelv begun. Six o ' clock. The clouds in the horizon are threaten- ing rain. Workmen become busy. It rains. Adam ' phones to the Trea.surer. — No help. — ' Phones to Dick, — who complies with rolls of itajjcr.

Fleck (trembling.) — Charley, lock the door and we ' ll talk this thing over. Geise (in stentorian tones, forgetting the privacy of the meeting.) — ' ' Who said they saw the Sophs ? Fleck, Fox and Wert (in a whisper.) — For Heaven ' s sake Geise, don ' t talk so loud or those measly Sophs will hear you and take us all out. Geise (boldly. l — Just let them come, I ' m not afraid of the whole bunch. Just then a noise is heard outside. Geise opens a drawer in his desk, pulls out a pistol, Wert draws one from his pocket. Fleck and Fox do the .same. Soon all is quiet. Fox. — Chum, what would you have done, if they had tackled us? Fleck. — Well. I wf)idd have shot the first lobster that touched me. Fox. — Do you know, fellows, I be- lieve I would have too. I ' ll be blamed if I ever let them capture me. Wert (with chattering teeth. ) — G-e-e ! but I was s-c-a-red ! Wonder w-hat they would do with a fellow if they would catch him. Fleck (getting bold.)— Well, I ' ll just tell never get me as long as I have this pistol. Geise. — Well, shall we raise our penant or shall we not? Fox, Fleck and Wert (in unison.) — No, don ' t let us put it up Geise. — AUright, I don ' t care. you, fellows, they ' ll .A.bout five minutes silence. Each Freshie examines his pistol carefully, cocks it and with his finger on the trigger stealthily creeps to his room and dreams of the Sophs, goblins and other hideous creatures. 155 - m iL. THE DAY THEY DID IT Twilight Till ' u;olden sun is sinking Behind yon western iiill, Shadows dark are length ' ning, All nature seems so still. Twilight gathers around me Like a curtain of the night ; Precious curtain do not flee Thy presence makes my heart grow light. Sweet perfumes till the air, Odors from yon distant field, In yon garden flowers rare, Perfect fragrance freely yield. It is not night, it is not day, A mean thon art between. Would I could liave thee alway, T(i my soul thou art serene. Thoughts of the pa. t come o ' er me, Sweet thoughts are they and true, Dwelling upon them I fancy Faces of old friends come into view. Oh ! the pleasure of the meeting ! It all seems so sincere and real. And the heartiness of greeting Has a balm all wounds to heal. Alas ! as thou changs ' t into night. And thy beauty is all gone So my fancies take their flight, And thus I am left alone. 157 DECORATION DAY AT S. U.
