Upon this rolling hill, A forest stood of late, Now a great college is here, The youngest in the state. Upon it once there stood So many giant pines. And through it, clear and cool, A pretty brook entwines. O'er many acres green, Our campus spreads away, More beautiful 'twill be In some bright future day. How beautiful and grand, Our College buildings rise, Their massive walls of stone Seem towering to the skies. Now to the world around, They gladly do p roclaim, That in the c-oming years The world will know its fame. M. N. C. 15 Our work We do with zeal, The teachers we admire, For noble ones like these, Will better things inspire. Through scenes of beauty rare, VVe students love to stroll, Our rules are very good, They're only SELF CONTROL. Vacation soon will come, And parting hands we'll take, 'Twill be so sad indeed. Og how our hearts will ache. But years have come and gone, Though far away we be, YVe'l1 think of the old friends, We knew at M. N. C. -F. A. C. fBy Permission of Prestonianl

earnestly. Do you know I haven't washed my face in about twenty- four hours? I wish they would make haste and get that well fixed, but I heard it would be tomorrow at noon anyway before they would get it fixed. I guess I can stand it if all the others can, said Bill. It strikes me that there is a great iinprovenient in conditions around here that we should be thankful for. You know how we had to do without water last fall, how we had to dodge stumps, and go around tree tops, how we had to get inside of our buildings before dark to keep from break- ing our necks in those ditches, and how dreadful that railroad before our door, and those 'shacks' were. But when I think of such men and women as we have in our faculty and this bunch of boys and girls I forget our present troubles as well as those of the past. Well Bill, said oJhn, confidentally one night, I've got a. pretty good job offered me as a teacher in a, consolidated school in l- County for next year, but I am thinking very seriously of coming back here. I'll be down to your room in a fe wminutes to work some algebra and review our pedagogy. I have passed on every thing so far and think I can pass this time. I guess I'11 go home in a. few days and help 'Pa' on the farm. 1'n1 going to do the same thing soon John, said Bill, I am go- ing to teach at ---. I won't receive a. large salary, but I am going to do my best to help those people some. Good bye old boy, said John, at the station, I am so glad I have had the pleasure of associating with you. G-ood luck. C. S. W. K X
