J. A. BARKER, B.A. LUMBERTON, N. C. While in some things a man may fail and in others thrive, a business man is to be most ad- mired. Once manager of the Sliidciil, but he fain would rest, so he gave it up. A man, that though tlie winds blow and tlie rains beat upon him, yet lie will endure all these for an order for his en- graving hou.se. When he will he keeps a fire in tlie Library, and sees that the boys do not tote off tlie papers. An esteemed friend and one o ' the bovs. T. M. BIZZELL, B.A . wi-e|.ll GOLDSBORO, N.

In this man wefind Music, Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology and Howlerology. Through five long years he has striven with many things, some to the good, some to the bad. It is to be hoped that his ' ologies will leave at least a remnant. President Medical Class, Associate Editor Howi.ER. J. V. COLE, B.A. Lexington, N. C. I live in tlie past and stand with shaded eyes and gaze into the misty long ago with a feeling of regret. Senior Speaker. E. W. COOKK, B.A., LoursBURG, N.

Although small in stature, I liave ;i peculiar gait upon me, and though darkness be around me I will betray myself in my walk. To me The Howler is due some credit for its many illustrations, for I am Art Editor. R. D. COVIXGTOX, B.A., Florence, S. C. When the Sophs, of 1902-3 met in the En. Hall, Dick was chosen as their leader, and a leader he has been ever since. Did he not break the record and make a hundred on Psychology ! Yea, as a student, no one excels him, and yet they say already his fancy hath lightly turned to thoughts of love. Senior Speaker. Be.mfort, X. C. M. L. DAVIS, B.A. ' Tis well for us that now and then we can h?ve a man who can make himself handy. In the Glee Club Concert he captures his audience by ' ' Staying in his own front yard ' ' and ' ' Sitting on that bee. Senior Speaker, and President V. M. C. A W. J. FRANCIS, B.A., Waynesville, N.

We often see him iu a sunny state of mind, wending his way over the Campus, vying with the mocking birds for superiority in w iist- iiio Just any old way suits him.

One of the few left, wlio in the fall of 1901, reached Wake Forest and inquired for the school- house and teacher. But those times have passed and so popular has he become that now the Stu- dent claims him as one of its editors. Daily he haunts the Reading Room and peers at fellows who try to hook the papers. Senior Speaker. J. D. HOWELL, B A. Tiller Y, N. C. .v (leace above all earthly dignities. . till and quiet conscience. I have a way of tossing my head as a horse reined too high, and twisting my body in a pecul- iar fashion. Senior Speaker. J. D. IVES, B.A., PlNEBLUFF, N. C. ■ A sclentlUc man i I -tiidy from whe Be he native or foreign, bond or free, learned or ignorant, I never once heard such a mixture of speech — as though he had a mouthful of parched fiour. He makes his haunts among those writhing snakes, earth-worms, and slimy snails, and views them through ' scopes and glass jars. Though the Crayfish, standing on his posterior extremity, with claws outstretched, approach him, yet he will not be scared away. Evolute thyself and tell us some few things to look for without fear of getting caught ! W. M. JOHNSON, B.A., C. RY, N. C. • In bis duty prompt at every call, He watched and wept and pray ' d for all. Of the class of 1905 few fellows have become so prominent in college honors. As historian of the Medical Class he keeps well informed with all its doings. The Student claims him as Editor-in- Chief from Phi. Society ; also editor Thk Howler in 1904. Well might we say — ■ Thou hast been diligent in all things. J. M. JUSTICE, B.A., Hendersonville, N.C. Jim is the proud possessor of the art of exciting laughter with his time-worn jokes, which is the underlying secret to the enchanting influence which he has in winning lady friends. A short stay in Cuba has given him an unbounded sphere for interesting ( ? ) conversation, and of this he always rejoices to take advantage. Senior Speaker. T. D. KITCHEN, B.A., Scotland Nkck, N. C. ' Tis now that in our class there is one man who aspires to none of those coveted places called class distinctions. A man of retiring disposi- tion, who puts himself in no one ' s way. A friend indeed and unpretentious in his every action. He realizes his calling in life and ' ' makes edges cut, as is shown bv his barbarous attacks on stiffs. E. LONG, B.A., Monroe, N. C. ■ ' I WKUlil the t?ods hntl made tliee m itiy. He is both a ladies ' man and a student — an un- usual combination. He is a man of wit, only self-perceivable, and always wears a benignant smile. But in a more serious vein, Long is a good fellow, and will help the woods he settles in First Debater Anniversary, 1905. J. R. MORGAN, B A., Clyde, N. C. He is one of our diminutives, from a physical view, yet he has a distinguished look, for he wanted a Prince Albert. He is a brave one, for when he was a newish he held a blacking crowd at bay with an empty pistol ; he is wise too, for he was judge of the moot court. A. H. OLIVE, B.A. Thomasville, N. C. He is a man of wise judgment mingled with a keen sense of humor. He bears a high reputation as an orator and debater, having assisted in win- ning the Cup for two consecutive times in inter- collegiate debates. He is the originator of the idea of providing the physical laboratory with a set of rocking chairs for the preservation of en- ergy. No doubt the scientific world will soon be enlightened by this physicist, who has bored through an extended research along this line Orator Philomathesian Society. H. F. PAGE, B.A., Dunn, N. C, •• A poet soaring in the lligh lesions of Ills fancy witli liis KHrlan.l and singinK robes aijont him. A poet, orator, and statesman, slow of speech, meek in spirit, he is liable to convey the wrong impression until you know him. He is a lone, solitary creature who answers everybody in the fewest possible words Although he arranges his curly locks very artistically, the inspired thoughts of rhyme, prompted by the muse whose linked arm he holds, soon gives them a perpendicular attitude. So we must not regard him as a man of neglect but of deep thought. Senior Speaker. J. PARKER, B A., Lewistox, N. C. In mathematif; he va. greater Than Tycho Brake or Erra Pater. Could tell by sines and tangents .straight Jf bread and butter wanted weight. ' Jesse is a fellow that decidedly belies his looks. On Logic he actually made a hundred, and on Math he is a prodigy. But two things are lack- ing in his makeup — an ambition and a pair of sus- penders. G. A. PEEK, B.A. Hodges ' Ferry, V. . I care for nobody, no. not I. If nobody cares forme. Here we have a man whom Freshmen fear, but though he be prodigious he is not so bad as one would think. His chief occupation o ' days is spouting German, French and Spanish; and he i a walking dictionary of poetical quotations, and local news-gatherer. Tlie night is made hideous with his yells ; ghosts and goblins hie them away to seek revenge some other where. Associate Editor Sludcnl. Vice-President Mh letic Association. VV. H. PRICK, B.A., Scotland Neck, N. C. Willi ,1 Miiili. ilmi wHv cliild-like and blaii.l. In Wilson Price we have come to one of our enigmas. You can never tell whether he thinks or not. If he does it must be of something funny, for he i s always smiling. If he were a real rich man ' s son he would be a great sport. He is am bilious, for he never failed to run for something at every election in his society. At our last Anni- versary he was president, and he is usher in the church on Sunday. J. D. PROCTOR, B.A., LUMBERTON, N. C. mantle lliat Illesslni!. i.ii hlin will, invented -let]., t .■o er till human thought-. The beacon light of patriotism from the State of Robeson here passes from the stage of college scenes. No more will she have such a reporter who can paint her deeds in equal words of praise. He is highly respected and widely known by all of us, and especially by the Faculty, who have often suffered one of those long-drawn-out con- versations of his, which they find to be a disguised leg. Senior Speaker, Manager Glee Club. J. R. SANDERS, B.A., Wing ATE, X. C. Witli the same inconsistent smile, the greasy kind tliat won ' t come off, encompassing his striking countenance, Jim cheerfully greets all remarks regardless of their importance. The success he has already achieved in speculating on Logic books warrants for him a place of high standing on Wall Street. Librarian. W.W.STAFFORD, B.S., Elizabrth City, N. C. ■One of the few who have a mission To fure incurable diseases. Billy, to be brief but to the point, is a rare old bird. His talent lies along the literary line and it is said that were the entire set of Hooligan and Buster Brown jokes lost, he could reproduce them part and parcel By his deciding to become an M D. the literary world has suffered an irrepar- able loss. Good-natured Billy with his Gimme a chew of your tobacco will be sadly missed Librarian. E. A. TURNER, B.A., Wake Forest, N. C. ■ An innocfiit, iiif|.riiai ' lml k-, imy, i-xemplary life. ' Gene deserves credit for the interest that he has taken in all matters connected with the College. For thepast two years he has creditably represented his Alma Mater on the base-ball diamond and has nobly sustained her record in oratory and debate. His sporting qualities must not be disregarded, for they constitute an important part of his college life. First Debater Anniversary, 1905. J. H. VERNON, B.A., Bushy Fork, N. C. •■ His success shall vouch him a politician. His career has been one of a political nature, his chief ambition being to free politics from cor- ruption. He shows his pugnacious spirit very often and would carry his point by force if he only had the physical strength. His gestures while talking disclose his earnestness for success, but in defeat his downcast look betrays a sad heart. With due apologies to the class prophet, I predict that some day he will be high constable over some secluded district of Person County. Senior Speaker, and Second Debater ' 04. T. L. VERNON, B.A., Madison, N. C. ' ■ Give him time and he will say something. Preacher Tom never has been taken at his worth. Deep down below the surface there is something that bespeaks him a man, though it may never find exit, for his tongue absolutely re- fuses to be servant to his thoughts. Tom is not loud and ostentatious, but is quiet and straight in his life, and yet for some reason he delays gradua- tion. A good joke is going the rounds on Tom. There is something irresistible up on Main Street that draws him there often. What a ladies ' man ! W. L WYATT, B.A., R. leigh, N. C. ■ The smallest hair throws a shadow. ' As president of the class he has presided over this august assembly with the dignity of a moot court judge. Besides possessing rare executive ability, he has gained exceptional distinction as a ladies ' man. This, perhaps, is the cause of his great attachment to the Hill. Willie, for so he has been dubbed, is an ideal for mothers to point out to their children. By serving his fellow-stud- ents with everything possible for an agent to fur- nish, he has become very popular (?) His agen- cies, we predict, he will carry away with him. S. H. YOKELEY, M.A. ome travail, eome pleaMii i few. and my tem]ier the Lake. N. C. ' ' Doc ' ' possesses those qualities which are such as to command wide admiration. The high re- gard in whicli he is held by his fellow-studeuts was shown l y electing him Assistant Manager of the College weekly paper. He enjoys sporting life and always likes to be up in G. especially on visits to the Capital during occasions of interest and excitement. As a medical student he has already shown an ability such as to be a warning to all eminent physicians, lest, perchance, some one of them may soon forfeit his position to tliis more capable man.

MARKHAM, B.L., Elizabeth City, N. C. The world has long sought for a modern Justi- nian but all in vain. Here is a man whose lordly look and dignified air fill the requirement, but as for the legal ability we can not safely vouch. However, we hope that he may some da} ' , at least, occupy the position of oftice-boy for some eminent legal firm. Licensed lawyer. p. C. McDUFFIE, B L., Baltimork, Mn. L a2zled by hi? own wondrous Ughl. ' ' ' Mack ' ' is a rare genius, whose favorite ' ' stunt ' ' consists in talking as much as possible on expe- riences never dreamed of before. His speaking has won for him the name of orator, having suc- cessfully represented the College in an inter-colle- giate debate. Licensed lawyer and Senior Speaker. W. H. PACE, B.L., Raleigh, N. C. He is a man of legal reputation and also popu- lar in social circles. He occupies an important position in the Glee Club, where he makes him- self heard by his wonderful basso profundo. In him we lose another old landmark of the College, audit will surely be a grief to the Faculty and trus- tees to be deprived of his presence and timely advice. Perhaps we can part with him, though assured that he is soon to enlighten some of our moonshine districts through legal reforms. Licensed lawver. F. D. SWINDELL, B.L. Wilson, N. C. I wonl.l lie B t He is a former graduate of Trinity College, and now a member of the Law Class at this place. From his atti;mpts at dignity and pride, we judge he prefers being ranked among the professors, but our conscience prevents us from showing him this res]iect and honor.

Junior Class History IT was in tlie fall n{ ii)0 that a sturdy banil nf nuwish tmni all civcr tlio State boarded the cars with grips in their hands, lumps in their throats and the last flower from their sweet-hearts pinned on their coats, to set sail for the Elysian fields of erudition said to be found at a small flag -station somewhere near Raleigh. Ho w the fond fathers returned to their firesides to reflect over the many honors their son would win at college! I ' .ut, . lan the hopes that ha e vanished after the ball. We enlisted with a comiiany of about seventy-five, but lo, the change that has come over the world! We number less than fifty to-da . Some have married wives and have bid us a lasting adieu ; some have heard the call of the wild and have left us for ports unknown ; and, alas, some poor prodigals have fallen upon stony ground to be devoured by the ravenous Faculty ; while the remainder stand with fear and trembling, dreading wliat the future may hold in store for them. No pen can describe, nor poet dream, nor orator portray the perils, the heart- aches, the blighted hopes, the crushed pride, yea, verily the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune we poor ' newish ' underwent in that unspeakable year of 1902 — during the sophomoric incjuisition. Those were days when even the knees of the righteous smote together, and the souls of the ungodly cried for the rocks and mountains to hide them. It was then that we learned to guard that most unrulv member, the tongue ; it was then that we learned to translate the hiero- glvphics found on trees, etc. It was then that we heard the weird and uncanny wails of the Night Hawks as they communed one with the other. Oh, it was then that our forms quaked and. our hearts grew sick at the sound of every ap- proaching footstep, whether of man or beast. Cruel days, can we never forget them? But surcease came with Commencement and we went home woundeil ami bleed- ing in spirit. However, time is fleeting as well as grief, and when we heard the neighbors dotingK- remark as we passed, He ' s been to co llege, somehow a reac- tion set in and our spirits underwent a transformation. We became egotistic, proud, haughty, domineering; and it was in this baleful plight that we returned to college again. We pass over that stage in our evolution with haste, for if there are an - days that a man wishes to forget they are the days of sophomoredom — those days when a boy becomes a veritable bubble, a gushing nonentity, a sound- ing brass and tinkling cymbal, full of nothing heavier than hot air. In this state of mental distortion we in turn played the game with the unsophis- ticated newish that we had been taught the previous year. It was then that we talked of things momentous, that we put the Seniors and Juniors to shame with our witticisms and repartee ; and it was then that we taught tlie Faculty nian Icsscms in discipline, ever lending them our worthy counsel and advice. S i it was that we passed through the eventful days of sophomoric insanity. And now we have reached (he lesser peak of Mt. Parnassus. We are Juniors!! We have shed our false skin : the scales have fallen from our eyes. c have, at last, awakened to the fact that there is still something left for us to learn. Our eyes have become fixed upon the farther shore looming in the distance, and we are steering our fragile barks across the treacherous waters towards the shining port of graduation. We have a right to be proud of our record this year, for we hold more offices than any other class in college. We are strongly represented on the Glee Club, ball team, in the Y. M. C. A. In fact, our men are at the head of nearly every college organization. We have been represented in the intercollegiate debate and at Anniversary. (Jur men are holding offices on all the college publications, and everywhere the Juniors are doing themselves honor. We have made one or two exchanges with the Seniors. Davis, becoming t ed of our slow gait, has taken a step forward and will graduate th ' s year ; while the Seniors have given us one or two of their number. Although we fee! greatly cheated, still we press forward oblivious of small matters. We have in our file, orators, poets, preachers, lawyers, doctors, ball players and anything else you mav call for. We are pressing forward, having profited from the experiences of the past, towards the acme of success. And thus I close the par- tial ' history of one of the most phenomenal as well as epoch-making classes the world ever saw. We leave behind us a history more lasting than brass, obviously unprecedented, absolutely impossible of narration Junior Grinds My tongue witliiii my lips I rein. — Foe.

GREENE President JOHN IVEY SMITH, Vice-President CLYDE JENKINS, • Secretary RIVERS JOHNSON, . Treasurer JESSE GARDNER, Historian ARCHIE WARD, Poet GARLAND GREENE Prophet fli L J Sophomore Class History EARLY in tlie fall of 1903 we were landed at college in full force, and in full freshness, too, as the oldishes continually prevailed upon us to believe. We were ■ newish then, and being such, we were subject to many hard- ships, many unpleasant criticisms, and many derisive remarks. In the day time we were obliged to keep step to that abommable newish whistle, and at night we stood in constant fear, dreading a visit from that renowned Blacking Club. Last year was indeed a hard and stonily one for us, one full of humiliation, trial, trouble and tribulation. But we grunted, grinned and endured it all, finding some consolation in thinking: forsaii Iiaec oliiii incininissc iiii ' abit. And no w onder we longed for the time to come when we could occupy and enjov the most enviable of all positions — that of sophomores. So with our return to Wake Forest last August, we abandoned the bounds of monstrous stupidity and are no longer newish, nor one of Professor Sledd ' s monumental somethings ; but we are decorous and honorable sophomores, though not with the primary meaning of that word. Yet increased honors and more exalted positions bring new responsibilities and duties. And upon our arrival here last fall we at once realized that we had not only to look out for our individual interests and affairs, but also found that there devolved upon us the apparently distasteful, yet really fascinating, duty of caring for the freshest crowd of newish that ever sophomores had to contend with. So. with Hamrick as our leader. ( we chose him for this place because there is such an unlimited number of them here that the Faculty will never know when thev have the right one), we have treated the newish black. for we are men who never shirk a duty, and it was simply up to us to haze a little. We leave it to the newish that we have done our full duty along this line. Also. Dr. Sikes. will testify to it. for doubtless he remembers the night on the campus that he was mistaken for a certain big freshman in college and barelv escaped having his manly and lordly face besmeared with lamp black and kerosene. Xotwithstanding the fact that we have put it to the next sophomore class to carry out our high ideals of freshman subordination, we have Mixed reason with pleasure And wisdom with mirth, and have really done some work in our text-books. Also we alwavs stand ready to promote the w elfare and interests of the dear old college. We verv ardently and earnestly assisted in passing the Honor System now in operation here, though some of our nieiiilicrs ( vc promised not to give their names) did vote against it. Ihey saul that uiey were m lavor ot tne system, but thought that a lehow ought to be given sufficient warnuig and tmie to study ' ni order to stand examinations under the new rules. iJon i thmk lor a moment now tliat any oi us would ' pony ' on exams., or even use a pony; tor wh.le we lead our classes ui Li.oiogy, ' Psychology, ' Physiology, ' l auoiaioryoiogy and ' Gymnology, ' yet there are two ■ oiogies we never cake any part in. ami they are ' Fonyoiogy ami uore- ology. our method oi proceuure in organizing and eiccung ciass omccrs was lar more agreeable and pleasant this time than last. Instead of meeting out in the country ill some old farmer ' s corntield with the cold ground for a floor and the blue sky for a roof, as was the case last year, we met this time in one of our comfortable society halls and getting down to business we elected officers beginning with Chinaman Greene as President and ending with Knotty Greene as Prophet. After Christmas several of our flock came up missing. Long-legged Ed- monds is not back here. We hear that he is president of Pine Bluff Public School. We also miss the Parker twins, or rather the racket and disturbance they were con- tinually keeping up. It was almost impossible to distinguish one of the twins from the other, and quite often the question was asked, Mike, are you Arnold? A few others of our number failed to put in their appearance this spring. It is rumored around here that they couldn ' t stand the Honor System, but of course it will not do to talk this. However, to take the places of our absent class-mates, Old Santa was kind enough to bring us two or three Christmas gifts, who are certainly handsome ( ?) little fellows. We know, in writing a class history, it is customary to name some of the mem- bers who have won notoriety and fame. But to do this in our class, without slight to any one, would necessitate our going through with the entire roll, for almost all of us have trod the flowery paths of fame. We do not boast of it, yet we do say with all sincerity, and are proud to say. that the present Sophomore class is the backbone of this institution. For, take the members of our class out of the ball leant, the Glee Club, and we might add. the Faculty ; and as for the rest — well, we will not express our opinion. It is true, we have some lame ducks and broken sticks in uur ranks, and utlur deficiencies are noticeable, for, The best may slip and the most cautious fall ; He ' s mure than mortal that ne ' er err ' ed at all. Yet we believe as firmly as it is possible to believe that there is lying, perhaps dormant in this class some of the finest material, some of the greatest things possible that could be found in any body of young men that has ever existed here- tofore between the Blue Ridge and the Atlantic. For who knows but that some one of our members may be a George Washington, a Sir Isaac Newton, or a Demos- thenes? .A.nd now our second year at college draws to a close, and we trust that we have faithfully performed our sophomoric duties. This year has been one nf work as well as pleasure. ext fall we resume our work here as Juniors, and with the exhortation of Solomon. Get wisdom, get understanding, and that famous line from Horace, .Vi7 inortiiUbiis iiidiil est ever before us, the class of 1907 will accomplish something, and will be men of thought and men of action in the arena of life.

Secretary WILLIAM LEWIS WETZELL Treasurer HERMAN THOMAS STEVENS Historian ARTHUR LLOYD LASSITER Poet LARRY LEONIDAS McLENDON Prophet History of the Newish Class Ox the secdiiil of September, 1904. alxiut six thuusand years after the creation ni the world, there arrived at Wake Forest College the most intellectual and best looking haul of newish that ever fished out of the frog ponds of time. The moment our feet touched the mud of this locality the air seemed sur- charged with a new force. Those who saw us get off of the train looked upon us with awe. As we gazed upon our new surroundings we realized at once that we were lord of all we surveyed. By a unanimous vote the Faculty declared that there never had been, never was, nor ever will be another such collection of smart newish. ( ?) The management of the collge was at once given into our hands, and the trustees were notified that they were no longer needed. ( ?) The first great mission work we undertook was to civilize and enhghten the in- stitution, and teach a very poor set of oldishes their allotted places. At once the command went f orth that such things as trying to baptize the Faculty, drawing photographs on the buildings, using song books in the chapel to make newish bow their heads reverently, and the lowest down of all meanness — putting kerosene oil and soot on the pretty faces of our noble class — must stop. They actually poured oil and soot in one newish ' s eyes and ears, against our orders, which made Mr. John Ivey Smith and Mr. Walter Cobb Toon mighty mad. To remedy all these evils we got up the Honor Systetn, which is working the rabbit foot on all the oldish. To get a leg on us the Juniors and Seniors are going to build a beautiful arch- wav for us to walk under, at the entrance gate near the depot. It is to have in- scribed on it Pro Christo et Hwnanitatc. which is, being interpreted, The Newish Triumphal Archway. We had not been here long before we noticed that the Sophs, held a meeting to elect officers, and did not invite us. We did not like it and to spite them we de- cided we would have a meeting and elect us some ofiicers. Every newish wanted to be President, Treasurer or something, and everything in town was legged from Oliver Bracv to Reddy Johnson. Some of our legs were pulled so long we have been wearing high-water pantaloons ever since. Finally, October 6th, the dav ap- pointed for the meetine arrived. We met in the Euzelian Hall. All of the old-sh and some of the newish were there. The oldish were cast out and the meeting was called to order. ■ Taiden-eved Weathers was elected President: Under- taker Cheek, Vice-President, and Rattled were we ' — not a bit: But went on in spite of it. Cot a Pres. with lots of go. Rah, rah, rah. we told you so ! 56 Pretty Wetzel was running for the Ju las job, so he was matle holder of the bag. Know-all Singleton was made Secretary; Little Long Haired Lassiter. Poet, and Light-headed McLendon, Prophet. While our august body was in session the sound of the hammer was heard. Some of the boys tried to make patriotics, but they could not for the thought of tlie fate that awaited below. With all save himself who can. as our motto we adjourned. We found the hall door firmly tied. We quickly snatched it open, and with Creasnian, Blushing Baucom and Knotty Brown in the lead, we made a charge down the stairs that woultl have put the Light I ' .rigade to shame. To our horror, we found at the bot- tom of the stairs a heavy door finiily nailed to prevent our farther escape. Like the walls of Jericho, a side door leading into Professor Mills recitation room went down before this frenzied host, while floods of water and sand poured in upon us. ' e soon made our escape through a back window while the oldish were scrapping on the outside. From Big Bunn to Baby Bryan, we have some noted characters, who rejoice in singing. On the mud-sill of fame I have car ed my name. South Carolina . yers heads the list of heroes as a professional snipe catcher. Smutty Morris comes ne.xt as General Receiver of the polish. He was blacked twice in one night. They started to put him in Spoon ' s laundry basket and send him off to be washed. He surel - needed it. The best cat-skinners and all-round actors in the gym. are Amette and Dr. Ducky Murray. We have several sports of the first water, but Bunyan ' s Pilgrim ' s Progress Tyner. Carl Dunn and Creasy lead the crap. They are genuine heart-breakers. The B. L ' . ' . girls say that our Pilgri m is a flirt, but he gets there just the same. Little Dimn and Ichabod Chafin are our hardest workers and make the highest marks. They have a leg on all the Faculty. Frog Powers has entered politics. He settled the race problem one night trying to escape from the Xight Hawks. He. indeed, succeeded in leaving footprints on the sands of time. Big Bunn is the best looking man in college. Couch. Walters. Hamrick and Jolly whopper are trving for the ball team, and remind us of Casey at the Bat. Our Xmas Gifts. and especially our alentine from Georgia, are all fine. One beautiful gift came from Statesville. The ' alentine visited a sick man in the dormitory one night, and while he was comforting him with his love stories and adventures in Georgia his face suddenly received a nocturnal appearance. One of the first things a fellow learns when he goes to college is not to tell any funny jokes the first year. Our class is no exception to the rule. There are very few- oldish that are bright enough to see the point to a newish ' s joke. On Junior English we all learned this great truth. If a newish stopped to think what he was about to say. nine times out of ten he woidd never say it. In parsing a sentence for Professor Batman, one graduate from the high school to home said woman is a transitive verb, an object of the preposition man. We were about to forget the newish reception. It was for our special benefit and we took it in. The oldish followed us around and waited upon us. One new- ish trice! tn walk ihrnuj h the large looking glass m the I ' hi. Hall. Uefore we left the affair we felt that we were Uarnum and ISailex s best man from Horneo. The Wake Forest and Richmond debate came next. It was a grand affair for us. You ought to have been there. We are going to elect Messrs Olive and Pat- ton honorary members of our class for saving our cup from them foreigners. The Anniversary was the next great occasion in mw enthral path. Of course, we took charge of the affair. W e were glad to have the I ' .. I . W. girls visit us, and we took great delight in entertaining them. Ciirls, we want vuu tn cnme again next year. Little Townsend was our marshal, and he surely did look cunning in that biled shirt and long-tailed, thank-ye-mam coat. We appointed President Weathers and Mr. J. I ' .. Knzier, al nur last meeting, to act as marshals for us at Commencement, and to see that the Seniors put em their s;lk bee-gum hats correctly, and have their long-tailed coats setting well, and most of all, that they show up well when they get on the stage to say their speeches. At this meeting we instructed Hon. Frog to attend the inauguration of our friend ' Teddy, and to assure him that he has the s -mpathy and co-operation of our class in the management of the government, and that if he needs any money just to call on the treasurer of our class. We also ordered that electric lights and water- works be installed in the college and town at once. Finally, beautiful spring has come, bringing its balmy days and we get a glimpse of the end nf nur newish year. Ae we look back over the past we are satisfied. Yes, we were fresh and green when we arrived, and carried grass to feed the goat the night we joined society. But taken as a whole our class has been a most successful one. ( )ur failures have been many but our successes are legion. i !any strong and enduring friendships have been made, and we have learned to ln e nld Wake I ' orest College and her teachers with all ■■ur hearts. With high piirpnses and imhle ambitions we enter new fields to win greater victories, singing: Let not sophomores moek (Hir useful toil, I )ur newish joys and h()|)es nbscure, Xiir seniors hear with a disdainful smile The short and sim|ile annals (if the pour — newish.

C. Mcduffie Historian F. D. SWINDELL Poet E. cox, • Prophet Law Class History Tlll{ ci.ncluiliiiu chapter i)t the histmy nf imr career has been deniaiulecl, so we must write it. From the time we entered we have been noticed as a remarkably smart class. (?) Our teacher. Professor Gulley, would gaze upon us in wonder while listening to us, as we expounded the most difficult ques- tions of law. or ably explained the true meaning of some of the hardest passages in Sir William Blackstone ' s Commentaries. Often our instructor would come to the class looking haggartl and worn. We learned that it was from loss of sleep from spending the wee small hours of the night in study in order that he might keep ahead of the class, which is noted for its ravenous assaults upon the demons of ignorance, and for its heart to heart talks with the fairy of knowledge. In the class we are a constellation, in oratory a congress and parliament complete. An opportunity to come to the Moot Court and hear the burning words and gifted tongues of our eloquent orators pleading for mercy has long been looked upon as a rare treat by all the people from far and near. Never before in the history of the Law School have so many appeared before that august body — the Supreme Court — to obtain their license. We now have in our class eight talented young limbs of the law. These are Messrs. Spence, . nderson. Crunipler, Jilarkham. Pace, Sigmon, Morgan. iNIcDuffie. As a band of voyagers on the sea of forensic knowledge we have floated very peacefully with the tide, and we expect to launch into the breakers and sail into the world as the most renowned class of young law- yers in the history of Wake Forest. This work is done, but before the pen drops from the hand of the historian I would like to speak of a few individual members of this celebrated aggregation. J. P). Anderson began operations in this world some where near Ashville, N. C, in 1S78, as a prospective school teacher and general ward-heeler. He made such a reputation among the local politicians of Western North Carolina that he (lecide l to follow the study of law, in order that his future success might not be blighted. The crowning feature of his political career came to pass when he was elected President of the Law Class. R. L. Sigmon was born in the town of Dcalvillc, N. C. A great many curious things have happened, but none like this. Old Sig.gie, as he is known by the student body, is, in politics, a boxer. After leaving Wake Forest he will become a local agent for the consolidated Fire Insurance Company of America and city at- torney for Wake Forest. J. W. Whisnant. The curtain of his existance went up at Granite Falls, X. C, in 1880. Me will cnntinue as long as is necessary to complete his law course. As 64 a corporation lawyer his fame will extend tliroughout the country, and as a politi- cal spell-binder he will have no equal. B. H. Grumpier began his earthly career in the wilds of Sampson County in 1883. Little is known concerning his early life, except the fact that his native town obser ' es his birth dav as the day of prayer, and celebrates the day of his re- moval as Thanksgiving Day. He will make a specialty of criminal law and will be a power in politics in Sampson County. J. M. Picot made his first appearance in this world in Littleton, X. C. in 1885, where he received his earlv education. He is familiarly known as Sir Edward Coke as his knowledge ( ? ) of the law is surprising to all who come in contact with him. He will devote his time after leaving Wake Forest to writing law books. F. D. Swindell. Jr.. LL.D (?)was issued into Kinston. X. C. by the howling of Xovember wind in 1882. and the local editors have it that the wind was not re- sponsible for all the howling. He comes to us as a post graduate from Trinity, and never fails to make the fact known that he has had early training. . s soon as he gets his license he expects to become Attorney-General for the State and, at the age of forty, take charge of the Law School at Trinity.

YOKELEY Vice-President T. D. KITCHIN Secretary S. R. EDWARDS Treasurer W. M. JOHNSON, Historian P. H. MITCHELL Poet Medical Class History E ' ER since the Wake Forest Medical Class of 1904-5 first met Dr. Kankin in the little room that is always too hot in summer and too cold in winti-r. it has been entirely too busy to bother with such trivial matters making history. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that, in its own modest ( ?) way, it has accomplished a good many things worthy of record, but, alas ! the most of these things have been forgotten long ago. Still, the historian will do his best to bring a few of them to memory. The class, like its predecessors, is characterized by the small number of its mem- bers, but the diagnostic difiference between it and them lies in the superior quality of work done by it. Taking this into consideration, it felt justified in claiming as its motto, Quality, not quantity. Doubtless there are several of its members whose names will some day be inscribed in the Medical Department of the Temple of Fame. In fact, one of our number has already acquired no little local reputa- tion by a discovery which was made by him after he had been in the class only a month. This discovery, as announced by him to the Physiology class, was that the umbilical cord is located in the pituitary fossa on the superior surface of the body of the sphenoid bone. While as yet the attention of the scientific world has not been called to this discovery, who can tell what its far-reaching results will be : Soon after the beginning of the session, the class received a valuable add.ilitn in the person of Timberlake, whose dramatic entrance upon the rostrum of the chapel at morning prayers created quite a sensation. Although it is rather unusual for a first-year medical student to specialize on anv particular branch, he began at once to make a special study of structures, and soon became recognized by the class ar.d b Dr. Cooke himself, as a Ready Reference Manual of Histology. During the fall term the class was saddened by the death of one of its ' uosl promising members. Mr. S. A. Matthews, who died of typhoid fever in thi ' hospital at Raleigh. Although he had been a student but a short time, he had made a warm friend of every man in the class, and each one of us felt that he had suffered a personal loss. It is hard to understand why such things nuist be, but we know- that the Great Physician never makes mistakes, and that it was for the best. By hard work the class managed to get along over the rough places in Osteol- ogy, Physiology, Histology and the other ologies. and at the Christmas examina- tions broke the record for Wake Forest Medical classes. Every man passed with flying gall-green and blood-red colors. After Christmas the meds. came back with great tales of the good times they had been having, but the joys of that happy occasion were soon forgotten in the storm of quizzes, practical examinations and other work which swept down upon us. 69 When the work of dissection began, the morals of the whole class were slightly lowered; those of us who could neither smoke nor chew began to envy those who could, and some began taking lessons in the use of the weed. The rest of us never went into t u: dissecting hall without our pockets full of matches, which we cheerfully furnished to any one who would volunteer to smoke. Uur number was increased at the beginning of the spring term by two new members, Bennett and Bill Hines. Bill distinguished himself from the first by his skill in grinding knives, and soon became Dr. Cooke ' s right-hand man whenever sharp knives were needed. Not very long after Christmas the monotony was broken b - Anniversary, when the whole class stopped work for two or three days, substituting Sunday suits for overalls, and kid gloves for rubber ones. After this festive occasion, it was de- cided unanimously by Dr. Cooke and the class that Dutch Yokeley deserved to be called the sporting man of the class. It would have been rather hard to decide between him and Kitchin, but for the fact that Dutch wore in addition to a dress suit, a beaver hat — a slick, shiny beaver — while Kitchin did not. From Anniversary to Commencement the record of the class varies little from day to day — being mostly one of quizzes, ball games and examinations, with all kinds of scores on all of them. , s Commencement approaches, the pleasure with which its approach is anticipated is not unmixed with a feeling of regret, that the onliest class in college must so soon disband, never to meet again with its ranks unbroken. Although some of its members belong to the graduating class, they all alike have to look forward to several years more of hard work before be- ing sent out into the world as full fledged M. D. ' s. When this time does finally come, however, there will floubtless be a change for the better in modern niccl ' cal science. 3)n fHrmnriam i tinpg A. iMattlirhJB SipJi Nnbrmbrr 27. 1904 IShat .11 a Ihau hnotorst not noln : lut Ibau shall undrratani) hrrraftrr.

Parson Hill ' s Transgression l ' TAWAS a calm, beautiful Suiulav morning in May, all lay quiet and peaceful, _|_ as the rising sun tipped myriads of leaves with a shimmer of silver. Ere long in several directions could be seen the country folk flocking to the little church, and grouping themselves about the grove to discuss current topics before the arrival of the preacher. Parson Hill had served the church long and faithfully and had fought a good fight. He had grown old, but notwithstanding the ravages of time, he still re- tained some of his old-time vigor. On this particular morning in May when all nature seemed reverent in the half-hush of the Sabbath, the parson was riding church-ward on his old nag which, though somewhat the worse for wear, had once been a race-horse. His habitual jog-trot — a gait peculiar to ministerial steeds — belied his past reputation however. . bout a mile of the road which ran past the church, and along which this de- crepit pair proceeded, had in time past been a race-course. What were the cogita- tions of the equine brain, as the parson with a pendulum-like swing of his heels prodded his horse on, all the time singing in a strong nasal voice some good old hymns, it would be beyoml our sphere to imagine ; but. as a vehicle suddenly rat- tled up behind him, a long-disused brain center seemed to be restored to activity — the old racing instinct returned, and with long strides the old horse started out rather unceremoniously down the road, before the parson could even suspect what his intent was. Despite the frantic efforts of our venerable parson the old race-horse, now thor- oughly aroused, sped on unchecked. The minister ' s coat-tails, disturbed from their funeral calm, held up their hands in holy horror and waved a doleful farewell. Faster sped the old horse as he neared the church, where the people, hearing an unwonted clatter up the road, had gathered in an expectant group b - the roadside. So unceremoniously tossed about, the parson ' s saddle-bags began to liberate various and sundry articles of apparel, testaments, et cetera. Despairing of stopping his mad career, and having to look to the stability of his equilibrium. Brother Hill had ceased his ineffectual efiforts to persuade his steed to moderate his speed, and with clinched teeth was clinging to the pommel of the saddle with no uncertain grip. With a rush and a roar they bore down upon the congregation standing agape at the undignified haste of their pastor. But before a realization of the real state of affairs could sink through their craniums, like a flash of light the church was passed : and with a final flourish of his tail, while the coat-tails of the parson gave one last despairing flop, the whilnm race-horse bore his unwilling master around the bend and out of sight. « ' «!% V LK fITV SISTEH.

EC o(r KUS ATIII.KTIC ASSdCIA ' ridN. Athletics THE athletic department, once so iittle nuticed. has become a leatling phase of college life, and has grown more rapidly in the past year than any other institution connected with the College. Professor Crozier, gymnasium instructor and ball coach, is responsible more than any one else for this transformation. Under his stimulus athletics in general has taken on a new life. He has made of the gymnasium a most pleasant resort for recreation, and instead of going in to be ' bored. the students have grown to look forward to the gymnasium hour with pleasure. A lot of new apparatus has been purchased, and the little spent in this direc- tion has proved greatly beneficial. Among the new appurtenances to the gn,inna- sium are punching-bag tables, chest works, hand-ball boards, etc. The floors have been marked off for volley-ball, in-door baseball and basket-ball. Screens have been put over all the windows, and all these different games have become an incen- tive to the boys to go in every day for sport and exercise. The attendance to ' ■.g iii has been much larger this year than ever before. Exhibitions have been given and the work of the Atlanta ' s genial little left-fielder is everywhere evident. A man has been emplo ed to look after the bath room, which is now- open and supplied with hot water every day. instead of twice a week as formerlv. A track team has been organized and so far about thirty men are enrolled. Field day will be some time in April, with probably a contest between W. F. and other colleges in the State, if not an inter-state contest. The ball team is in fine trim. By having a professional man as a coach the team has improved. The Athletic Association is stronsrer this year than ever before. Also a new- scheme has been undertaken, that of editing a weekly paper under the aus iices of the association. The ' ake Forest Weekly bids fair to be a success. fr. Crozier will be with us as ain next year: and with a .specialist at the head. V. F. athletics is bound to be a still greater success.

A Story of Ye Olden Tyme. •rtXNCE upon a tyme inn ye gude auld dayse theyre ly ved, mayhap in raerrie Eng- || lande mayhap in some other nierrie countrie, a kynge whos naime was Har- rie, and he was bye farre ye goodlyeste kynge that ever rulde inn alle ye broade lande- Non other than hys own gude haude was yt that drave ye heathen fromme ye kyugdome, an brot under subiecshun alle ye pettie tryvialle trybes ofl ye lande. Then righte sturdylie he dyd sitte upon his roial thronne and wislie rulde ye gudlye doniaynes; tyll yat ve lande was inn ful prosperitie, and alle ye stoute folk were wont to saye, Never yet was theyre such a kynge as our owne gude Har- rie, and May he lyve as longe as mann never lyvde before For sweete was ye gude browne nale they dranke fromme hys boarde, and gaye was ye clothynge he clothde them withal. Nowe ful merrylie dyd Kynge Harrie lyve in hys bigge castle in Ashtolat towne, for theyre yt was he helde hys courte, butte never so merrylie yat he was lyke to forgette ye gude off hys people or ye welfaire off ye lande- Yt was sayd bye thos who cam after hym that ye tynyeste chyrrup off ye cryket and ye weeyste lyspynge of ye nestlynge were hearde by hym. Certayne yt was that gyf troub- ble was a-brewinge yt was first beknowne too hym, or gyf rmerryment was ailoate he was ye fyrste to heare And hys happyeste hours were not whyl syttynge upon hys thronne in ye greate courte off Ashtolat, but whyle goynge to and fro, up-anddown in hys kyngdome, sometymes wythe alle hys gaye followers and in thrue kynglie style, at others wythe a cloake upon hys arme, a staffe in hys hande, and save one or two almost alone On daye inn ye browne October wethear, as kynge Harrie satt at hys boarde wi alle hys noble lordes and laides, he was seen to sighe and turnynge to hys lorde off ye Hyghe Chaimberlayne he sayd ; Alack ye dai ! Here have I wasted four- score dayse- No longer shall we tarrie in ys duUe plaice, butte wille hye us about ye lande, peradventure somethynge gude maye befalle us- Then turnynge too hym upon his left he sed : Sirrah, dyd not yoursel saye yat lorde Dudlie was gallynge hys vestment that we hadde not uisited him in ys amany a dai ? Me- thinks that nowe me shalle bestowe our roial selves upon hym, and faythe we ' ll pluck hys birde so bare he ' ll not wyshe for us agayne for ful a tweel-month. At his wourds plaudities arose for they all thought off ye pleasantries that wo ' d befal them on ye waye and at gude Lorde Dudlie ' s e ' er they sette foote in ye big hals off Astholat agayne- Farre into ye nyghte that nyghte theyre was bustle and hurrie in Ashtolat hals, butte at laist they alle slept ye sleep lyinge here and thear awaiting ye dewie morne- And of a soddyne up rose ye snnne butte not befor kynge Harrie and hys Highe Chamberlayne hadde uprisen too. Then ye two caled aloud to others, and they to still others, tille not longe after ye whol courte was astir wi ' gallant youth and faire maydes all on a raute for ye iournie to Lorde Dudlie ' s. But yt was highe noone ere e roial cavalcade was ready for to sette forthe upon ye iour- ney- First, when alle was readie, theyre cam a companie of yongsters in gaye trappyngs ridynge carelesslie thear prancynge steeds yet managynge them so skyl- fuUie that many a faire mayde who looked thereon sighd and sighd agayne for ye prettie felloes. Then theyre cam a band off fulle fourscore stout ' eomen, butte ther bowes were unstrunge and ther quivers wear nowhere to be seene, but ecli carried in hys left hande a toughe staf of stout yew, and acrosse ye shoulders of alle was flung ye roial purple- And in ye midst of yse rode ye gude kynge vth ye gray-beardes of hys council and wi ye statelie dames and prettie maydes of ye courte. Aye ! a gay syghte indeed it was, such a one as you and I will never see. A fulle eaveninge in ye balmie air of ye autumn wethear theye rode, but at ye comynge of nyghte ye roial companie stopped for lodgynge at ye inne off ye sygne of ye Fatte Ox, whereto heralds hadde announced ye comynge. Earlie on ye morrowe ye iourney was pursued agayne- And many a shadie woodland was past yat dai and sweet mellowynge field and happie ronnyng streame. Any many too wear ye simple folke yat stoode bye ye waysaide for to see ye gaye procession passe, or bowed themselves in ye dust in reverence to ye kynge ; till another nyghte ' s lodgynge in an inne was spent, and ye thyrd daise sunn was up As gude Kynge Harrie sprang to styrrup on that blythe daye he sayd, while a merrie twinkle gleamed in hys eyne ; ' ' Ho now, my pretty lads and lassies pret- tjer styll ! Methinks myd-eave wyll fynd us at gude Lorde Dudlie ' s, an we nieete wi ' no yll lucke twixt theyre and hear At hys wurde ryghte blythely ye yonge horsemen off ye froute sprange to leade, one by one ye bolde yeoman tooke thear stashun about ye Kynge ' s roial personne, and again ye iourney was begun. To gude Kynge Harrie as he roade alonge yat dai yt seamed that never before hadde thynges appearde half so gaye- Ye little gray squirrels plaide and twit- terde about in ye broade branches of ye trees as yff theyre was no one else in ye whol wyde wurld save Dame Nature and they ; and ye lyttle songsters of ye wood- lande almost came ythin hys reache as they piped and fluttered in ye balmie aire. The broade rounde sunne let hys rayse fall geutlie upon them, whyle away in ye deepe shaide of ye foreste thyre was hearde ye patient hammerynges of ye speckld wood-snipe As ye roial Harrie was musynge thus he fayled to hear ye chatter of hys companyons till at laste they ceased speekynge to hym. Ye conversashun of ye horsemen in frounte ceasd also as they slackunde rein and thear steeds walked more slowly as ye daye wore on. Ye steadie steppe of ye stoutc yeomen was styll kepte up, but thear faces began to lose somme of ye merriment and thear staves hunge at thear sydes. Thus greene fieldse to ye ryghte and lefte wear past unnoticed, ye roade turned into a greate foreste and ye corapanye followed yt hardly awar- Nowe ill ys wave ye cavalcade hadde preceded farre into ye hearte off ye greate foreste. Listlesslie those in fronte roade forard where ye shaides tliickende and the greate trees stoode like ye giants off olde. Suddenlie when least they ex- pected yt, theyre slept into ye roade in fronte of them a tall straynger clad in ye upper parts vvi ' shaggie sheepskiune clothynge, butt fromme ye middle downe yt was bryghte Scarlett. In hys longe arms he twirlede a longe oaken staffe, whyle wi ' lustie lungs he calld out : How nowe, my prettie fellows, knowe ye not ye pass not hear till ye reckonynge is payd ? Whereupon thyre sprange from ye cover off ye wood full thre score tall fellows clad exactlie as he who spoke wi ' so bolde a tongue, and in thear handes ye same stoute oaken staf. Nowe yt wod seame thear wod be a battle roial, and such thear was, for ye kynge ' s stoute yeomen wear not ye ones to stande calmlie and take a drubbynge, for many a tough boute hadde they had in thear dayse at such playe, and for that same deft skille in whitcli were they chosen for to guarde ye kynge ' s owne roial person. Assailde thus, in ye iwynklynge off an eyne, thear yew staves wear graspt fyrnily about ye middle, and wi ' legs outsprede they awaitde ye attack. Thwack ! range ye oaken staves of the assaylantes on ye roial purple off ye kynge ' s men. Thwack 1 wi ' as lustie a stroke went ye stout yew of ye yeoman. Ah ! such a battle as yt was — for two longe hours it lasted ! Butte, alas for ye yeo- men, theyre blowse but telle on shoulders of ye rough sheep-skyn coverynge, whyle thear own hadde nothynge but ye roial purple. One by one they rollde in ye duste, and in ye twytchynge of an eyelyd they wear depry vde of thear possessions, and ye talle men in sheep-skyne and scarlette wear gone ere they could so much as bj d them gudebye wi ' a trystie arrowe, Nowe ys was done so neatlie we should say, dyd we knowe yt was in Merrie England at all, yat yt was none other than bold Robin Hood hymself, butte we knowe yt was longe before he roamed ye merrie woodlande wi ' Little John and Will Scarlet or satte wi ' Will Stutely and others on ye soft gra.sse under ye greene trystygne tree. But ye yeomen wear onlie stonned. After a sliort byt thye satte up, rubde thear sore .shoulders, and lookde at ecli other wi ' blynkynge eyne. Then gude Kynge Harrie, whos owne roial person hadde not scapde ye rouglie treatment al- together, seeinge thear sorrie plyghte, bespoke them thus: Alas! Alack! Mine owne true men. Vs dai hath a bolde robber been tutor to a kynge. Saw you not how ye toughe garments of ye knaves wythstoode your stoute yew, whyle your owiie riche clotliynse was as nothynge under tliear sturdie stroke? And liys face went sober as a Jew ' s whyle he spoke- And when agayne in his courte in Ashtolat Kynge Harrie satte theyre went out an edictum sygned in his owne proper seale, that never a man should be employde in his service againe — be he lancer, bowman, bodie-guardsman or symple kitchen knave — unless he wore about hys shoulders ye toughe gi;rments of ye sheep-skyne clothe; for said he, Devil a man knowes when we ' ll be sette upon and drubbde agayne as we wear on ye roade to Dudlie ' s- And with such garments as yse yt is never a man in ye world my yeomen will feare . Thearwith was a mightie stryvynge for ye toughe skinne garments, for alle wyshde to finde favour in he gude Kynge ' s syght. Some thyre wear who wear successful in a dai, others thyre wear who sought for ful four daise— and at ye ende off yat tyme wear no more like to obtayne thear wyshe than when first theye beganne. Others, too, sought for foure weekse and still others for fonre months, and even then some weare unsuccessful. Glad indeed theye alle wear when about thear shoulders theye could flinge ye toughe sheep-skyne and present themselves for ye soldierie of gude Kiuge Harrie- And mayhap to ys dai theyre are yose who styll seeke for ye wonderful sheep- skyne. Not in foure weekse nor yet in foure months do they expect to obtayne them, but foure longe )-ears do they spend and yth gladsome hearts at laste receive ye precious prizes wi ' never a regret for ye tyme spent. For save theye, ' ' Yse gude skyns may yet ward off many a stoute blow as we travel on a longer roade than yat to Dudlie ' s. 4, Student Editors A Newish ' s Letter to His Paw DEAR paw — as this is the first time 1 aim had nu conipny since 1 bin here I ' ll write ye to let ye know how Ini gettin ' along. I bin here tliree whole days now but 1 aint quite got use to things yet. The first day we didnt do much but look around for a room to stay in. At last we had our trunks hauled up and we settled down here in the labbratory where we bin ever since. Xe.xt mornin ' after we come back from breakfas I heard the bell ring again, and 1 asked some of the boys if it was time for school, they said it was for prayrs. I told em I wasnt feelin well so I didnt blieve Id go. but they said come on everybody had to go and after pra rs w ' ed have school. So I got down my big hook-sachel and all my books and slate and started but I hadnt moren got outside my door when a big fellow called out to me hello newish where ye goin with that poke. I thout he had mistook my name so I told him my name wasnt newish but Billy Patterson. But he didnt seem to understand he cussed at me awfully and I begun to feel like my breakfas or something was goin to make me sick, but bout that time George come up — he is m - room-mate and knows everything for he was here last year — and so I soon felt all right. He told nie to leave m - sachel so 1 left it. As soon as prayers was over he said lets go to see the president. I told him alright thinkin he meant Mister Roosevelt, but I dont think it was him. if it was he dont favor his picture. Then we went into a room where a little fat man with a bald head teaches, he askt me what course 1 was goin to take. I didnt hardlv know what to tell him just then he lookt away and George whispered osi rcihiit. so I blabbed out pos-graiuit. He ' ookt like he wanted to laft ' and askt me if I wanted to take nied cine. I told him no not unless I got sick. . 11 the boys laft when 1 said that but I didnt see nothin to laft ' at. Then we went in the back room on the top floor of a big buildintr — I think they call it the kemicle library though Im not sure. The man shook hands with me and told me he was glad to see me I told h ' m ves I guess so. He askt nie if I was goin to take latin. I told him I reckon so. I was goin to take evervthing else so I guessed Id take it to. Then he commenct to talk but he woiddnt look at me. he just turned his back and kejit talkin I tried to walk round in front of him remem- berin how you told me not to stand behind anybody to talk to em. But the more Id walk the more bed turn till I got tired and quit and we soon left, then George said wed seen most all the teachers but wed go down to the english room anywa . Rut I think we nuist a made a mistake Ceoree stoooed at the door but I went on in. . man in there with a red beard and specks came uu to me and askt me what I wanted. I told him to studv engli.sh. he askt me if Id read much if Id read many stories. I told him ves. Id read all the stories in fifth reader once and some of em twice and that I thout how Maggie cuts her hair was the best. When I said that he lookt at me strate and said, you get out of here before I take you b - the neck and kick you out. I didn ' t know what Id done but I got out all the same. We went to a lot of other places but I cant tell you about it now. Its funny but they dont have any recess or else its all recess I dont know which at least cverytime the bell rings the boys run ovit. some go to other rooms some dont. Looks like its recess all the time. I ' ll have to close now. Your lovin son billy, p. s. I think Ivo seen all the liit; places down here but the campus I cant find it.

It was near the close of an ideal summer day in old Alabama. A beautiful girl leaned thoughtfully over the railing that led up the massive steps to the long verandah. The glow of the fast-sinking sun addetl lustre to her dark hair, and her wondrous brown eyes flashed excitedly as she be- came more interested in the conversation with her mother. Celeste Mosgrove was tlie daughter ' s name, and as the smiles of approval passed over her mother ' s face, they partly dispelled the traces of sixty years ' time, and for the instant, made the faces of the mother and daughter identical. The work had fallen from her hands, for the lengthening shadows had made it too dark for sewing, and besides, she was deeply interested in her daughter ' s words. The house was of the southern type, noted for its honoured traditions, and its very atmosphere was suggestive of romance. It had belonged to the Mosgrove family from the earliest. Xone other than they had ever been master of its halls, and there, for generations they had lived, extending their bountiful and unre- strained hospitality and enjoying the life of southern country gentle-folks. The yard was large, filled with trees that had stood the storms of a,ges. and a luxurious growth of flowers almost endless in variety exhaled a perfume that rivaled in fra- grance the fresh aroma of the neighboring meadowlands. From the corn fields could be heard the songs of the workmen as they plodded their way to the (|uar- ters after their day ' s toil ; and the faint and musical tinkling of bells gradually swelled as the small large-eyed negro boys drove the heavy-uddercd cows from the pasture to their milking places. Yes, mamma. repeated the girl. .Vunt Hester is dead, but the little bov is living. And mamma. ma - I have tlie l abv and raise him and k-t him be my own servant when he gets grown Clammy Hester was so good to me. and she asked nie with her last breath to look after her little baby, and please, mamma, mayn ' t I ' But my dear child. the mother replied, just think how much trouble the little fellow will be: besides, he will be much better off if allowed to stay at the ' i|uar- ters. ' This house is no place for such. But mamma, this is a special case. Tust think, this is Hester ' s child. said Celeste. Vcs, I will admit that Hester was an exceptional servant, bnt this child of hers is only a few hours old. There will Ix- sufficient time to think of Hester when the boy gets largje enough to be useful around the house. But mamma, don ' t you see ; I want to teach him from the first how to be useful. I also want him to know how to read and write when he gets grown. Really dear, don ' t you think you can find some better means of casting your bread on the waters? I don ' t consider my.self casting away bread, mamma, for I expect no return from this. I ask you this merely for my own gratification. Well, my daughter, replied the mother, I am glad to grant your every whim. See to it that the east room is prepared for a mirsery. an l have Ellen to take charge of the baby under your direction. Thank you, mamma dear, said Celeste, and I promise that you shall see in . ' Xmos a model servant. I shall not see it. but vou will, dear .girl. sadly replied Mrs. Mosgrove in a tone that implied more than luet the ear. as she left her seat on the porch and slowly ntered the house. Rut Celeste still leaned thou.ghtfullv over the banister. The click of a horse ' s hoof, followed by the opening of the yard .gate, attracted her attention, and a look of pleasure lightened her face as she saw the manly figure of young James Norfleet coming up the walk. She gave him a hearty greeting, and together they leaned over the banister as she told him of her new possession. The leafy shadows formed rapidly, growing from thin wavering points to broad dark patches, and as the vouth took the girl ' s hand in his. the last edsre of the sun considerately dropped below the horizon, and left them to the twilight. . sun-set breeze, ' seeminelv laden with .suggestions of love, caused a slight tremor in the folia.ge ; and as a cardinal, perched in a neiehboring- crepe mvrtle, paid his tribute to the glowing west in a melodious warble, an odor of jessamine passed through the atmosphere, ■m ] the lovers entered the house. II. FIFTEEN YE. RS I,, TER. Fifteen years have passed since the summer evening that the girl. Celeste Mos- grove. asked of her mother the possession of a little ne.gro boy. She is no longer a girl, but a woman, and with her advent into womanhood she became Celeste Nor- fleet and the mi.tber of James Xorfleet. Jr., the oungest of several and the only one to survive his infancy. The Mosgrove house is the same, l)Ut the home has seen changes. Mrs. Mosgrove died without seein.g her youngest grandchild. The old slaves passed away, leaving their places to be filled by the younger generation, and conspicuous anrong them is the stalwart and manly lad, . ' Vnios. It is early morning in summer, and again the scene is the Mosgrove home. James Xorfleet. wearing the gray uniform of a colonel, walks out on the porch fol- lowed by his wife and little son. The drawn features and dark-circled eyes of the wife speak of a sleepless, restless, prayerful ni.ght, while the little fellow ' s interest 1S4 in the brass buttons and gleaming sword bespeaks an ignorance of tlie cause of the coming separation, bhssiul ignorance 1 J_ast larcw ells are said. orUs are tew, but, all, tne tnouglus and leelings that arise in the hearts ol those two, the silent pravers Uiat eacn knows the other is making, Uie tears tnat rudely lorce tnemseives upon their minus ; while the little lellow, though ignorant ot the cause ot It all, IS impressed by the solemn stillness, and lorbears asking questions about Lhe unitonn ot gray, the brass buttons and the sword. The man mounts his horse, and followed by Amos on his pony, rides quickly down the walk and is soon lost to sight. The woman stands for some minutes intently watching the cloud of dust on the edge of the trees. A handkerchief gleams white in the distance for an instant, and he is gone. Still she watches, unconscious of her surroundings. Mamma! Xo answer, only the earnesmess of a grief-drawn face intently watching the line of trees. Mamma! Still no answ er, except a shading of the eyes with the hands and an unconscious bending of the body toward the spot where the handkerchief disappeared. Mamma, dear ! Xow she hears, and stooping she lifts the little fellow and clasps him to her heaving bosom. Mamma, where ' s papa gone? Ah, where has he gone, is the question ringing in her ears ! Papa is a soldier, dearie, and has gone to the war to fight. Who ' s he going to fight for, mamma? He is going to fight for 30U and me, dearie. Mamma, pipes the little fellow again, when I ' m big I ' ll be a soldier and wear a sword and fight for you, too. She clasps him closer to her breast, and burying her face in his mass of golden hair to hide her tears, quickly enters the house. It is near the close of day. Seated on the porch of the Mosgrove home is a woman clothed in black. Her face shows the deepest agony. It is her hour of darkness and trial, and bravely she tries to see the light through the close-settling gloom. A man in gray is standing near her, and it is he that breaks the menacing silence. Have courage, madam, he says, and think of the cause that claimed his life. You noble women are doing just as much at home, and if your country needed it. would just as gladly give your lives, as your husband did his on the field of battle. Inspired by Xorfleet ' s courage, his men followed him on to victory, and as he fell, pierced b - countless bullets, his faithful servant carried him to the rear, only to fall upon his master ' s body, for a stray bullet struck him. passing through his body and seriously wounding him. ' hen the men gathered around, he just had strength enough left to nnitter, Marse Jim says, ' Ciod bless Miss Celes ' . For your little Ijoy ' s sake Ijear up and — Uut the woman had ceased to hear him. Her eyes were riveted on some half dozen men approaching the house, and in their midst was a pine box containing — oh, the agony of it! The darkness was becoming deeper — could she bear it? A grave was prepared, and beneath the jessamine thev laid away the gallant Xorfleet. The blue sky was fast becoming burnished as the globe of flaming fire disap- peared rapidl - in the west. A woman ' s figure clad in sorrow knelt b) ' the newly made grave. She tried to pray but the words would not come. A breeze sprang up and caused a tremor to pass over her grief-stricken frame. . s she arose from her kneeling posture, the words of his favorite hynui came ti.i her lips, an I her heart lightened as she niurnuired : Lead KiiidK Light, aniiil th ' encircling gloom; Lead Thou me on ; The night is .lark— A red bird oxerhead l]roke the stillness ami ean led a few notes that seemed to give voice to her grief. U woman, be comforted! The birds even share thy sorrow. I I Loril, Thv will, not mine, be done. she cried. She had begun to see the light. in. iiHN i ni; iiK.un is oi.n. Ticket, ticket ! ain ' t you got a ticket, roughly cried the gate-keeper as an old Jady in black attempted to pass through the gate leading to the tracks that came .nto the L ' nion Station at H . There was a raising of the shoulders, a Hashing of the eye, a quivering of the delicately chiselled nostrils, as the old lady replied, Ves, I have a ticket, but I didn ' t know 1 had to show it to you, sir. He punche l her ticket as she passed through the gate, and cried, Turn to right, fifth track. She was carried on by the throng, but once outside, her courage failed her. The numerous tracks bewildered her, and she paused, not knowing which wa ' to go. The rude words of the gate-keeper kept sounding in her ears. Certainly 1 had a ticket, but how did I know I had to show it to him? she said half aloud. She quicklv turned fearing that some one had heard her remark and trembling lest some one might see her helplessness in the hurrying throng. . s she turned she looked in the face of a smiling boy, and her heart lightened as his musical voice met her ears. Don ' t worry, lady. he said, if you ' ll let me, Lll show you your train. ' Phcse mnnerous tracks are bewildering to a stranger, and it is a good way to your train. With a nod of thanks she took his offered arm, and a few minutes later was comfortably seated in a car bound for her old home in .Mabaina. The lr:iin li. ' id lieeii going all the in. .rnini;-, an.l the little w.mian ha.l remained unnoticed by the other passengers. The hours had dragged by slowly tor her, and it seemed that she had been an interminably long time on the train when the porter called out, Beaunian ! twenty minutes for dinner. There was a hurried rush for the car doors, and in a few minutes the lady in black was left alone. She had been gazing absently out the window for a few nnnutes when she be- came conscious that some one had entered the car. She continued looking out the window, however, till the exultant cry, Miss Celes ' rang out in a clear masculine voice. Her heart leapt within her ; her memory, though treacherous of late, quick- ened and instantly supplied all the links between the past and present ; and her emo- tions flooded her eyes with tears as she turned with outstretched hand and simplv said, (J Amos, I am so glad to see you. The negro reverently took her hand in his, and just as reverently, kissed it. It was not till then that she noticed that his right sleeve hung empty by his side. How is young Marse Jim, Miss Celes ? he asked. Fresh tears came to her eyes. ■ ' I have just come from his funeral in H ., Amos, she replied. I am all alone now. You still live at the same old place. Miss Celes ' ? For the present, I am going there now, but I shall not live there much longer. she replied. The keen eye of the negro quickly took in the faded black dress that showed the effects of many a pressing, and with softened face and eyes blinking rapidly, he gently said : ' Sense this old nigger. Miss Celes ' , but you ' s just aleaving of the old place cause you w ant to, ain t you ? No, Amos, the place has long been mortgaged, but I shall do the best I can. The Lord will provide. But don ' t let ' s talk about my affairs. From all appear- ances you are prosperous and doing well. Tell me about yourself. Well, Miss Celes , there ain ' t much to tell. I was a poor man till the oil boom came, and ni) little place being in the oil district. I sold when prices were high and fetched myself a big sum of money. I ' se got a nice fam ' ly. and — his face beaming with happiness as a new idea suggested itself to him — please Miss Celes ' stop by here to see us a day or two, and then I ll go back to . labamy with you. A few minutes later as the train moved off. some of the passengers saw the one-armed darky gently assisting the old lady into the Hotel Glencoe bus. But the train moved on, and soon the old lady in black and the one-armed negro were forgotten. Tis late evening again, and the Alabama breezes cooling the atmosphere of a hot summer day. are blowing gentlv around the dilapidated Mosgrove home. Mrs. Xorfleet is slowly going down the walk, and behind her at a respectful distance walks .Amos, hat in hand. A peace which she has not known for years is in her heart, and her face has lost some of its care-worn wrinkles. She pauses at the gate, and telling Amos good-bye, watches him as he walks slowly down the road. She watches him until he disappears among the distant trees, and then turns slowly up the walk and approaches the silent house. The flowers are in full bloom, and as she hears the song of a cardinal in the crepe myrtle overhead, she remembers — . She mounts the steps and is about to enter the house when her attention is attracted by a folded paper lying on the porch. She picks it up, and seeing its legal form, tremblingly opens it. It is the redeemed mortgage on her place, and as she reads it and understands its meaning, she drops upon her knees and turning her tear- dimmed eyes toward the spot in the trees where Amos disappeared, pours forth a heart-felt prayer of thanks and gratitude. The red west turns her silver threads to gold, and as she rises and enters the house, her face beaming with happiness, again the odor of jessamine comes up the walk. When Papa Moved to the College Iain sure I do not know why papa decided to have a summer home at the Col- lege. 1 am certain it was not because he wanted us girls to have any atten- tions from the students. That was just what he did not want. We were al- ready provided tor. as far as Papa and Mamma could provide. That horrid Mr. Pustler was courting Bess all she would let him though she was only seventeen and he more than twice her age, red-faced, bald, with the least little eyes, and ever so short and big around. I just could not endure him. but I really believe she was thinking of marrying him because Pa pa and Mamma wanted her to. Then they wanted me to marry Mr. James, a nice, sweet old gentleman, ever so rich, who had lost his two sons in a railroad wreck and was lonely I am sure, bless his sweet heart. Bess and I were right in for moving to the College, and we lay awake o ' nights talking of the fine times we were going to have. We were going to see the stu- dents and have the grandest time. Papa must have found it out somehow. One day just before we were to leave he called us in and said : ' Dot. I want you and Bess to remember that you are to have no acquaintances among the students. They are a harum-scarum set — and you will have plentv of refined company from the city. I expect Mr. Pustler and Mr. James down often. Xow remember what I say. To think that our plans had to be spoilt in this way. Well, we found our home all w-e could desire, nice, comfortable, roomv house, large porches, climbing roses, flower-beds, and a sloping lawn with a gold- fish pond. We heard a good deal of singing and shouting around but it was Sundav before we got a good view of the students. They seemed nearly all to be at church, and a motley crew they were. I found out aftenvards that I did not observe the nicest ones: I was so taken up with the others. Some were not shaved, some had the longest hair, some looked sleepy and listless, some tried to look smart, some lolled and lounged about in their seats, and two that sat behind me imagined thev could sine tenor. T am sure my ears were nearly ruined. All in all I was not so sure that Bess would not have to marry fr. Pustler after all. The sirls of the town had friends amone the students and talked so much about them that I reallv srot tired. T can ' t see what makes some sirls sillv. but thev are as sillv as silly can be. One called a fellow with a shock head of unkempt hair cunninp ' . another called her fellow cute. and a thousand and one dear names they had for them, and fed them on cake and fudpe. and made much of them gener- allv. T just w ' sh that I had had a chance. Thev would have wanted cake and tudge a lone time before I should have eiven them anv. There was one voung lady who sported six — a red-headed one. a fat one. a black-eved one. a rosv-cheeked one, a long one, and a must conceited one. 1 am sure I did not want any of ihcni — perhaps she might have made one good man out of the six, but 1 don ' t know. Well, some weeks passed on and a little incident occurred, i was coming from the post-office and dropped a piece of mail, a letter from Mr. James, when a gentle- man just behind me picked it up and i-estored it to me. He had the dign.ty and grace of an U.xford don. I know I was all confused. It always confuses me to drop a letter, and he had such a fine eye. His step was so elastic and he was so well-built. Just then Jannette L) ven came up. You seem specially favored, said she. Thai is . lr. C.aylord. He never did as much fi.ir a woman before. He is a regular woman hater. The girls were crazy over him for a while, lie is the best speaker in college, graduated with high honors, and is now taking a law course. He is the finest baseball player on the team. But he has never spoken to a girl as I know of. So you need not trouble. 1 did trouble just a little bit. 1 am sure you do not want to know how we met and got better acquainted, and all that. If you dn 1 am not going tn tell you. I believe in keeping such things private. 1 did not mean to disobey i ' apa. He said it was just a case of love at first sight with liini and I just could not discourage him, he was so tender and gentle and handsome, such a dear fellow, such a — oh. but I am telling, and that won ' t do. ow I will tell you a little about Hess, liless the child. She was playing a game all of her own. ( )iie night she and 1 had just retired when we heard the sweetest music — some one was singing the sweetest tenor. We were being serenaded. I do like being serenaded, it is so romantic, and I like any thing rohiantic. Up we got and put our heads from the window just far enough for the moonshine to fall on them and make us look romantic. Down there on the lawn we saw a partv of three. ne of them was Mr. daylord, but he was not the singer. After the were L;one 1 asked Hess if she knew who the singers was, when what should she do but seize me in her arms and liegin kissing me. all the time crying out, I )h, dear, dear Dot, you dear sweet thing, oh, yon are the sweelesi thing, lie is so fine. Dot. so strong, so nolile, Dot, he is such a dear, oil. yon weet, sweet thing, and so on. He was Mr. Jenks. Agnes Fletcher. ISess ' s chum, had been to Portland, his home, and knew all about him. He could manage a ship and do everything, and everybody loved hi m. Then the kissing began once more. The next morning Papa was terrible. Here was Mr. Pustler coming in a day or twd and me and P.ess playing the fool. He was going to get a bull-dog. Papa talked so dreadful that we began to cry and kept it up until he left. Crying always did get next to Papa. The next day Mr. Pustler came. Papa and Mamma came near eating him no. but Itess didn ' t. T was surprised to see her s])irit and was yonderiiig how things could turn out when the strangest thing ha])]ieiie(l. Papa had boiiglu some sheeii—tlu-y look so ].aslor:il on a lawn. Th. ' it aflenioon lie was down showini.; thcni to Mr. Pustler, when one yer - naiiglil ' shee|i eol mad at Papa and ]ieg,-in lo Imtl him down. P.c ' ss and 1 were loo] ing at Mr. jenks who Itid was coming up the street and didn ' t see the first butt. W ' lien he did look Papa was rolling on the ground and that awful sheep just behind him. . s often as he would get up the naughty sheep would simply butt him into a ball and was just rolling him down towards the front gate. I ' apa was yelling and Mr. i ' ustler was running along behind holding up his hands crying, Oh, oh! oh! Just then .Mr. Jeuks jumped the fence, caught that sheep and sent him whirlmg over tlie fencJ, and lirought Papa to the house. But wasn ' t Papa grateful. Young man, I admire your grit ; voung man, 1 ad- mire your strength. Vou must come this evening and let me thank xou. ,u saved my life, sir. Bess was so glad. I saw .Mr. Jenks and her exchange glances. Then Bess began to kiss Papa, and call him dear names, until Papa was quite bewildered. It was all right with Bess. She knew it. I knew it. Mr. Jenks is now finish- mg his medical course, and everything is understood between liess and him. I must tell you what became of Mr. Pustler. .After Papa came to the house that horrid sheep jumped the fence and got at Mr. Pustler and knocked him into the fish pond. He got out on the side next the street, a perfect sight, and went ofif to- wards the liotel. That was the last we ever saw of him. He did not even come back to get his hat which swam around on the pond a day or two. Now again about myself. Commencement came and with it came Mr. James. He was so gentle and kind that I just could not tell him about Mr. Gayloni. He had brought me the prettiest ring and was petting me so nnich that for the heart of me I did not know what to do. I now knew that I loved him in quite a different way from what I love Mr. Ga lord. But how to get out of it. there was the rub. Wh -. before we left the cit -. I had about half way promised to marrv him, and now I knew I could not. The next day there was a big baseball game. Mr. Cavlord was captain of the College team, and I was glad when Mr. James asked me to go. It was about the a-reatest game I ever saw. .so much running and hitting and hard throwing. Mr. Caylord did the most of the playing. He stood awav back in center field and caught some of the highest balls, and never missed a one. Here the balls would 9-0 away up. Then we would hold our breath until ! Ir. Ga lord would catch them, and then we would clap our hands. Then everv time Mr. Gavlord would come to the bat everybody would begin clappine and crving. ' -home rim, home run. Just before they quit playing he came to the bat tlie last time. Then the. - began to clan asrain. and cry, bases full, home run. I ' ll tell vou he looked fine standmg there with the bat in his hand watching the man that threw the balls That man tlirew them so hard T don ' t see how Mr. Gavlord ever did hit them, but at last he did. and he hit it so hard it went clear over the fence Then lie run around and the College had beat 8 to 7. Mr. Tames had acted mio-htv strange durin? the eanie. He had talked to me the nig-ht before about Mr. Gavlord. T did not think T had let him nmv T like- ' him. but he seemed to have found it nut. To-dav everv time U- Gavl.ird made a good play he would turn and talk to me about it. T am certain T was blii.liincr and failing to conceal my admiration for Mr. Gaylord in spite of myself. Sometimes I would become conscious that JNIr. James was watching me, and once or twice when Mr. Gaylord came up and spoke a few w ' ords I am certain I gave myself away. Now when the game was over, and all the students were yelling and making jumping-jacks of themselves. Mr. James, bless his big heart, said : Well Dot. that is the fellow you are in love with, is it? I found that out last night. He is a fine fellow, and I do not blame you for leaving me for him. He is just the man I should like my daughter to marry if I had one as fine as you. I need just such a man in my office, and as soon as he gets his license, I want to form a partnership with him. This will make it all right with your Papa. You will still be a friend to me, won ' t you. Dot? For answer. I just seized his hand and pressed it. I felt just like kissing him — but there was such a crowd around. Isn ' t he generous? Isn ' t he a dear? To-day Papa just dotes on Mr. Jenks and Mr. Gaylord. I could tell you some- thing else — but you will find it out for yourselves by waiting just a little while. 7Y . ciA Editorial Whiff! We cast our pens to the uiiifl. and with a sigh of reUef present this the third edition of The Howler to the pubhc. That it is full of faults we ac- knowledge, that it will be severely criticised, by some at least despite our efforts, we do know- ; and yet for all its faults we make no apology ; to its critics we answer nothing. To its readers, however, we would say that thrice our staff has been broken by members dropping out of college, once or twice on the very eve of this writing. In many respects the boys have supported The Howler and its board of editors this time witE a loyal care, for which we thank them, and yet few have seen fit to contribute — by far the best support of all. Then if the charge is brought that all the students are not represented herein, please remember that where only a few- contribute justice can hardly be done to all. And again if hits seem to be a little strong in a few instances, please remember that nothing at all personal is meant. Far be it from us to criticise any of the present officers, yet we would offer a suggestion. In the election of class officers hereafter let the classes see to it that such men are elected as are fully qualified to fill the offices to which the ' are elected, especially poets and historians. For aid and timely suggestions in preparing this volume we desire to thank Dr. Cooke and other members of the Faculty, and to our loyal contributors we grate- fully acknowledge our appreciation, feeling, as we close these pages, with Long- fellow ' s boatman, Oft was I wearv when I toiled at thee. Finale Farewell to these loved vva_ s ; A lone, far voice calls — A myriad memories rise Uefore our pensive gaze — These oak-embowered lawns, These ivy-screened walls. Erelong must changed be For scenes of other days. Here oft around our hearts A gold-enclasped boml Entwined by hoi}- hands We ' ve felt; and deep witliin, The all-questioning soul Ha,s dreamed that out beyond ( )ur narrow-circled ken. L ' nvisioneil regions roll. The things that here we ' ve Inveil The fate-driven flight i f yea rs Afar may silent bear To some secluded urn ; Yet thought-winged memory. Forgetful of all pain. Shall ever backward turn. And pouring here her tears. Shall bid them live again. College Roll A, lams, Richard V Eu FrL-.h Charlotte, N. C. Alk-ii, John K Eu Fresh Warrenton, X, C.
