H( )W TIRED I am to-nislit ! That Logic is dreadful, and there ' s that history nf tlie Senior Class to write and only two days to finish it — but I can ' t do it to-night, if the world never does hear of all the giants, cranks and fools in this class. ... I soon fell asleep and was carried away into dreamland, where history and logic have no dominion. It was sweet there. But by and by I saw a crovvd of people going toward a large building. I inquired the reason, and was told that it was class re-union. The Class of ' 07 — ni - class — had conic back. Years and years had elapsed since our graduation and — That aged grandsire. Time, Had touched our lives, and left behind Only a few faint smouldering embers to tell the story. Great crowds had assembled to do us honor. Vann presided in the absence of Gardner, who was attending a re-union in another world — and as he sat in the chair his slender form was stooped with years and hoary gray adomed his brow. Lennon, the old class poet, read, in a screaky, cracked voice, the poem he wrote while a Senior, making apologies for it by saying he had never been able to write any better. When he sat down he was given an ovation — out of respect for his years. It then became my duty to give the history of the class. I winced at my task. It was a hard one. Never before was there a class w ' ith so unique a history. ' erily a class of prodigies it had ever been. Looking back over it all in that breathless moment. I felt tliat our Xewish year was a comedy of errors, our Sophomore much ado about nothing, our Junior a midsummer night ' s dream in its sweetness, and our Senior — ah, well, all ' s well that ends well. During that year we formed ourselves into an advisory board to correct the mistakes of an empty-headed faculty. How foolish it all seems now ! History is made by individuals, I began ; the individual heroes form the outline and make the landmarks, and so my report, Mr. President, shall contain the life, characteristics anc doings of the individuals of this wonderful class of. prodigies. ■ Runt ' Taylor became a journalist and achieved some prominence as re- porter for his county paper, but his chief glory was gained by his practical talks on ■ ' Class cutting s it an art or a science — illustrated by a horrible example of himself while in College. Runt literally wore himself out trying to escape work, but finally relief came, for he laid himself down and died. Whereupon his sons and daughters ceased to sing Everybody works but father, and mourned his death for the space of a whole day. Weatherspoon. — On leaving College he became a limb of the law, but upon his entering that profession resolutions of sympathy and regret were passed for the State. After years of political intrigue and scheming, he became Lord High Constable, and when last heard of was full of debts and trouble. Turner was first a noted athlete, gaining notoriety as sub-pitch on the Roles- ville team, and later became a lawyer also. After some years of practice given by fools and idiots, he gave up his chosen profession in order to organize the Xorth Carolina Association of Ready Relief of Professional and Needy Brayers at the Bar. In this he was successful, afterwards becoming its first and only beneficiary. He lived l -ing and begat many sons and daughters, and all the days of Turner were sixty and five years and he died. Bridc.es succeeded well as a minister, as he lacked the necessary animation ever to do wrong. Bridges lived forty and five years and wept t)ecause his chil- dren were not — and he died. Pe.xrson. — The last heard of him he was writing essays. Students from all parts of the world wondered as they read his string of sesquipedalian words linked together in a paregorical amphibious manner, and they regarded the re- sulting nonsense as worthy of all praise. The world has not yet been blessed by his death, but will be soon, let us hope. Leon, rd went to instruct the Chinamen in the arts and artifices of the western civilization, a subject upon which he was peculiarly qualified to speak. . t length he was killed in a Chinese insurrection, whereupon the U. S. demanded 35 cents indemnity. Whitlev. — He was a useful minister in a lost corner of Cherokee County. Some months ago he retired tn his liappy liome at (Unn Swamp, and there resides in peace and quietude. Nanney. — It is verily lielieved that lie will have to be shot at the judgment day to end his life and hush his bore-atory. Vernon became a doctor, but after a few years practice on jiet dogs and cats, he gave up his chosen profession to establish an old maid ' s home for aged nurses, and still resides peacefully in their midst. Allen. — He is scarce awake, let him alone awhile. His na|is were dis- turbed occasionally while in College by the bell, but since leaving he has slept unmolested. Sleep, blessed sleep, from which none e ' er wake to weep, is now his portion. Cooke, while laboring under the impression that he was an artist, took up architecture. By diligent application to his profession he was able at last to draw a one-story barn, in which he lived until the angels( ?) took him. C.xLDWELL was a great chemist, and won lasting fame by inventing a new explosive, nitro-pyro-picro-benzo-celluso, but died of lockjaw conse(|uent to pro- nouncing its name. Hayes. — His researches into classics eclipsed all previous scholars, but he took to Greek more than it tonk to him. Finally lie returned to Wake Forest and took the place of Dr. Paschal. Greene. — He was ever busy during life proving what ' s in a name. But he is now at rest. Disturb not his memory by reviving a never-decided question. BuNN found that law wasn ' t a flower-strewn path, and so he eventually took a position as justice of the peace to escape mental anguish. He died, unfortu- nately, an early death from being forced, while in College, to listen to Prof. Gulle ' s lectures. But when he lay dead, behold! they all rejoiced, for a son of Anak had been slain. Bexerlv. — A politician, one that could circumvent the Devil. After he left College, he succeeded Senator Simmons as political ringster in the State — and all declared that mantle and more than a double portion of the Senator ' s spirit had descended upon his young successor, but — but — let us draw the curtain. NowELL. — He waxed fat and kicked — and still continues to do so. Spe. s. — Ever since his infancy he lias been a noted orator, for which it is predicted that he will end in the penitentiary or the Senate — let us hope in the fomier. H. MRICK. — He was born in 1492 B. C. I before Columbus). He lived long. He consumed 1,000 pounds of beef and then roaringly passed awav. Johnson. — The critical hour had come in the State for a tremendous onward stride in missions. The Convention was stirred and swept ofif its feet by pathetic appeals for more help. . t this moment Johnson was called to address the Con- vention. Men and women leaned forward in their seats to listen, and in that deep voice of his that rang throughout that vast auditorium he began : Ye call me chief: ye do well to call me chief. The day was a failure. But despite this he still lives on, ever ' Reddy to repeat the performance. McSw AIN. — Mac lived and little was ever heard of him. He was retiring in nature, and the world will yet bless him for it. Finally he slept with his fathers and another Mac reigned in his stead. Ferrell. — His like was never seen. len and women came from far and near to see him and hear him talk. He ceased to be a bachelor verv earlv and joined the band of the persecuted. He saw his sons and his sons sons even to the fourth generation. At last Ferrell died. being old and full of davs. SiKES. — The Lord opened the mouth of an ass. He was a lawver, and his first notoriety was won as attorney representing the society for the suppression of the display of naked turkeys on the market. He became a great man and was known far and wide — in Union County — as a political stump speaker of the dead and forgotten type. And the days of Sikes were unnumbered : and he begat sons and daughters, and he was not, for the Devil took him. The rest are lost, strayed, or stolen. They have not been heard of for vears. Um — my — gracious, what a nightmare I have had ! I dreamed some ugly things about my class-mates. If I spoke any of them aloud and they ever get to my friends, I want to say I didn ' t mean a word of it. I was only talking in my sleep.

Then is it Cod? ■J WE. the members of the Senior Class of Wake Forest College, being most of us of sound body and a few of us of sound mind, but being aware of the approaching examinations which endanger the safety of us all. deem it advisable to declare this our last will and testament. First: ( )ur e.xecutor named herein shall carry out all the provisions of our will. Secoinl: We declare it to be our desire that the Class Historian, before his demise, sliall convey to posterity in fitting terms a record of all our great achieve- ments, from the beginning of the Glee Club in 1903 to the last ball game won in 1907, not forgetting to do full justice to all the members of this illustrious class. Third: We give and bequeath to the Junior Class all the dignity and wis- dom consistent with Seniordom ; the privilege of non-attendance upon gjmnasium ; the right to appear wise and dignified whether they are so or not ; the great pleas- ure attendant upon the study of Moral Philosophy ; and the unspeakable delight of being pointed out at Commencement as a member of our graduating class. Fourth: We also relinquish most reluctantly to our successors our immunity from all College regulations; the right to talk out loud in the reading-room, to appropriate to their individual use any periodicals which they deem necessary for their edification, and to make remarks on class without being called on ; and above all things else, the honor of being appealed to by the Professor to settle all points pertaining to Psychology, Logic, Biology, and higher knowledge in general. Fifth: We hand down to the Sophomore Class, if they will demean them- selves so much as to notice it, all the advice and good counsel we have received from various sources during the past four years, especiallx ' that in regard to undue pretensions to learning and wisdom. Sixth: We e.xtend to the Freshman Class our tleepest sympath - fur what they have gone through with during the present session, with the assurance that it has all been for the best, and that we have allowed it only because of the realization of what inestimable benefit the said course of training has been to us. Seventh: We bestow upon the Preps our good-will in their eft ' orts next vear to explain how they are Sophs and are yet taking Freshman studies, with the hope that they will succeed better than their predecessors have done. Eighth: We make to the Faculty a last formal acknowledgment of the many invitations to Facnlty Receptions with which we have been favored ; sub- mission to the depletions they have seen fit to make in our ranks, reahzing that tliese in most cases have been blessings in disguise, aud our forgiveness for all the other shortcomings; grateful acknowledgment for the manv kindnesses shown, and for their indulgence but for which some of us would not nnw he here; and lastly our sincere sympathy in their honest but, alas ! futile efforts to produce in the future another class like unto the present. Ninth: We bestow congratulations upon the Alunuii mi the privilege they are so soon to have of welciauing into tlieir midst such a distinguished bodv as the Class of 11)07. Tciitli: I ' .eing informed liy nur Treasurer that, after having made all the above be(|uests, there is still remaining in the treasury a goodly sum. we appoint our executor to expend that sum in the following manner : To Prof. Carlyle, $500.00 to erect an arch over the campus gate ; to Dr. Tom, a copy of Webster ' s Unabridged ; to Prof. Ives, enough money to purchase earth- worms and cray-fishes galore, and to insure that they will be pretty specimens so that the young biologists may be glad we got these ; to the College, a fiery furnace of modern cnustrucliun. guaranteed to keep the reading-room warm for two consecutive hours, also an automatic college bell which shall not vary more than five minutes in the hour; and if there be any species of property not already disposed of. we will that it shall lie divided, share and share alike, among the kid faculty. Eleventh: - appnint as execulurs those niem])ers nf the class who, for reasons best known to themselves and the Faculty, shall continue with the College for another _ ear. We admonish them to carry out the provisions of this will according to its true intents and purposes, and do hereby revoke all wills and testaments heretofore made. In witness whereof, we dn hereby set nur hand, this first day of May. up . ( Seal ) Se.xior Ci.. ss. Signed, sealed, and declared to be our last will and testament.

McMillan Prophet , t) ' illistorp of Junior Clags IN the fall of 1904 there arrived at Wake Forest an aggregation of raw recruits representing every swamp and hollow of the State, from the frog-ponds of Currituck to the wild-cat holes of Cherokee. Self-confidence was glowing on each countenance, while deep down in the heart of every one burned an insatiable thirst for honor and ardent desire to revolutionize the world. Ignorance, inno- cence and curiosity were the badge of all the tribe, which insignia readily branded them as Xewish radiant with an exceptional lustre — veritable gems of purest ray serene. Many of them had come fresh from the high-school, where at commencement of the previous year they had stood up before the applause of admiring friends and the shy glance of blushing sweethearts to receive their certificates of gradua- tion. To those who had thus already reached the ' c plus ultra in life ' s achieve- ments, going to College could mean nothing more than an introduction to a more intelligent society, where genius such as their ' s could receive due apprecia- tion. But, alas ! for the vain, transitory splendors of childhood ' s dream ! The first duty confronting each member was to convince the oldish that he was no ordinary Freshman, but a man deserving of special recognition. This was performed only too successfully, for the arduous task of giving us our just deserts, imposed upon the Night-Hawk Club, killed that organization. The trials and disappointments that beset us in that helpless state of blooming infancy would indeed have brought iron tears down Pluto ' s cheeks. Our philosophy was ridi- culed, our stale jokes were met with hollow groans, by night we were held in con- stant terror by the savage yells of the unspeakable Sophomores seeking whom they might devour, by day that abominable Newish whistle gave our quiet walks the appearance of a funeral march. Thus we existed for nine weary months ; a target for the Sophomores ' wit, a contemptible nothing in the sight of the upper class- men, the prey of an unmerciful Faculty. But time changes, and so does the tide in the affairs of tyros. August, 1905, found us again on the field of action. This time, we were not wearing the gar- ments of humilitv and meekness which had characterized us in the lower stage of evolution, but clothed in an arrogant pride, with mien of men who were lords of all they surveyed. When we beheld again the familiar region of our previous hardships, an imperishable joy thrilled our hearts that we were now the conquerors and not the conquered. We gave vent to our emotions by a succession of vocal vibrations that would have silenced the voice of Stentor. The state of eflferves- cence had been reached — we were Sophomores. We immediately entered upon the discharge of our duties, dealing out advice or reprobation to the newish accordingly as we saw they most needed. But our activities were not limited to that narrow field. The current of the College life might have been changed b - our sudden rush of new ideas if it had not been for our arch enemies, the Critics and Professors, who always seemed to be envious of us But, oblivious of such trivial annoyances, we rattled away with tongues of saucv and audacious emptiness. The newish feared us. the Seniors scorned, and che Faculty pitied. There being nothing else extraordinary accomplished by our class during its sojourn in that wilderness of mental distortion, we pass over it hurriedlv, for of all periods in a student ' s life that he remembers with regret it is the days ' of Sophomoredom— that time when he thought he had power to under- stand all mvsteries and all knowledge, and yet lacked wisdom to see the shallow- ness of his own cerebral convolutions. But. • ' Practcrifa mutarc non possumus, therefore let the dead past bury its dead. But what of the present ? The third seal has been opened, and we catch a glimpse of what awaits us next year when we shall assume the role of dignified Seniors. Like a weird, ungainly spectre, there comes to us a vision of the great, surging sea of life into which we shall be plunged when college days are ended. The dwire to revolutionize the world has vanished, and we have at last learned to appreciate and apply those words of Hamlet : ■ ' There are more things in heaven and earth. Horatio. Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. In spite of the confusion and errors that have attended our past record, we have been slowK but surelv pressing forward in the path of progress. This ear we are holding hnportant offices in all the College organizations. We are strongly represented on the staffs of the How LER. Student, and Weekly, on the Glee Club and in athletics, and our representatives have held high the banner of the literary societies at Anniversary and on the intercollegiate debate. All of which, we trust, is only a harbinger of the time when we as men of action in the arena of life shall lav manv trophies at the feet of our Alma Mater.

Il wmm ■ 05 rtr- 9X= ' ■ Ilistorp of opfjomore Class IT was in the last part of sultry August. 1905. that we began to get off the train at Wake Forest, and we kept coming until Christmas. The Sophomores said that we were an awful large class and as fresh as goat-meat on the 4th of July. We are willing now to admit that we were a little fresh. Most of us thought it a reasonable but puzzling question when one of our number asked a Professor where the Campus was. Others refused prunes at the table, thinking that they would like to trv something new. as they could get persimmons at home. One fellow was actually bold and inquisitive enough to ask an upper-classman if the stiffs were artificial. Another proposed to a Professor that he could take the Moral Philosophy course, as he had a conflict with Prep. Latin. . 1I this happened in the fall, and about Christmas the old fellows said that thev could see a little change in our looks and behaviour on account of associating with civilized people, but we realize now that funk and lamp-black were the chief causes of our transfonnation. Sometimes funk would be so thick in our rooms that we could almost feel it. hear it boiling, and even smell it, but, worst of all, we couldn ' t find it. When we came back after Christmas, our hearts were heavy and lumps came in our throats when we thought of our mothers and some other dear folks. But later on in the spring our hopes and aspirations became higher, seeing in the far- distant future the lazy Lawrence gathering around Commencement days, and in our dreams hearing the shrill whistle of 38 or 41 calling to us. Home, home, home — home. in tones of sweetest melody. We had reasons to begin to feel our importance somewhat, because when it came to athletics we naturally took the rag off the bush. Keith and Elliott made the basket-ball team, and Benton and Ed. White more than held up their end of the rope ' on the baseball diamond. But Field Day was when we naturally rose cane. and left the other classes way back in the shade. Our class won over one-half the points that day. How is that for an athletic record? The most wonderful accomplishment, however, attained through our hercu- lean efforts, was our seven-course banquet held by the light of the moon, back of Holding ' s pond. Just when we had finished our magnolius repast, a crowd of Sophomores came upon us, and we decided to trot back to College, as Mr. Crozier had instructed us to always take enough exercise, as it was absolutely necessary for the most studious ones. But, boys, let us cast aside those gloomy and weird recollections of the past, when we had funk for breakfast, water-bags for dinner, and lamp-black for supper, and with Professor Carlyle direct our gaze toward the rising sun and perform with all diligence and care the duties and responsibilities which this year devolve upc.jn us as members of the Sophomore Class. We have been faithful to our duty ; we have looked after about as many newish as circumstances would allow. In behalf of the entire class, I would like to say to the members of the Faculty, that if they give us three more months we shall have the majority of the Freshmen under our direct supervision. We are ampl - able to accomplish all things. We have men in our midst who can by their musical ability cause the long-eared oaks to listen and the streams to halt their unceasing pace to take in the sweet strains of melody. There are others who can sway grand assemblies by their matchless eloquence. We even have in our number those who can remove large ed ' fices or drag a full-grown heifer three-quarters of a mile by the tail without the beast ' s uttering a single breath of complaint. How can we expect to fail with such grand prospects? With Tilley, Dunn and Gay forming the van, while Daniels and Gary bring up the rear, we will march on to seize the forts of Junior and Senionlom with flying colors — conquering and to conquer.

MOSELEY OLIVER Prophet. 2 ' - i ' ft il istorj) of Jfresfjman Class IT would be a task indeed to make any adequate record of the Class of igio, and far be it from us to pretend to do so. But in the humble capacity of historian, it shall be our purpose to record the most important events that have occurred so far. From the very first it was evident that ours was a class among classes, and far superior to anything in College. The very first thing we did was to be mutu- ally impressed with each other, then to pity the other classes, then to notice the Faculty. Before long, however, circumstances caused us to change our opinion, being impressed by the Sophomores and pitying each other. As for the Faculty, they forced themselves upon us. noticing us when we did not notice them. The Juniors would join in every now and then, and seemed to enjoy our conflicts with the Sophomores. The Seniors didn ' t have nuich to do with us; they were all stuck up, and didn ' t realize what a good tiling they were doing bv not cultivating our acquaintance. I suppose the first important thing in our career, as it is in most others, was the class meeting. We knew that the Sophs, were likely to interfere, and fearing that some of them would get hurt, we paid the policeman fifty cents to keep the door shut. But he seemed to be more afraid than anyone else, and soon deserted. Just as we had started on the transaction of business, in came the whole College. No doubt they thought to profit by our wisdom, but we didn ' t want them to hear it, so we adjourned. Then the Sophs., being disappointed at not learning any- thing, asked us to dance ; and m ost of us did, being very accommodating. Since thinking it over, it might have been better to teach the Sophs a few things, as most of them don ' t know mucli. About this time we discovered that the best thing for us to do at nights was to lay low and keep quiet. Some of us had been walking around ; but the Faculty thought we ought to study more, and appointed some fellows to polish us when we stayed out. They say blacking is good for a newish : sometimes it is, but it didn ' t do Clodfelter much good, and Charlie Clark is likewise about as bad off as before. Some of us tried to play football in the fall ; Lunsford, White, Hardy and Leggett had already made the team, but the rest of us thought it would lower the class, and so they quit ; and when the rest of the fellows saw we had quit, thev quit, too. The State Fair was a special bonanza to us, as we could go out there and appear as big as the rest. We watched the horse-races, saw the exhibits, ate peanuts, and drank red lemonade, until there wasn ' t anything left ; then we threw rubber balls at the girls and they hit us ; we went to the shows, saw the ■ chacma and big snake. and other such things, and by the time we got home we were real glad we went. We beat Mercer on Thanksgiving in debate, and you ought to have heard Britt speak ! He just put the rousements on and naturally tore things up. We didn ' t know he was so good. When the picture man came out here, we put on our Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes and were fixed up fit to kill. He took the Juniors and Sophomores first, saving the best for the last. Those old Seniors didn ' t even get their ' s taken. Somebody tried to throw water all on us. but we came pretty near having them e.xpelled for it. and they haven ' t bothered us since. Conn is about the most important man in the class. He writes up all our proceedings in the paper. He and Horner were the only folks in College that could sport a spike-tail coat until Billy Wiggs bought one like their ' s. Bill is a sensible fellow. Ragland and some others write for The Student, but out of kindness to the Seniors they have decided not to get any of the medals. Martin is a smart fellow, too : he writes more poetry than all the rest of us put together. He thinks right smart of himself. McKinney was one of the most graceful marshals you ever saw. and little Fletcher will have to ' go about to beat him at Commencement. Hardy came all the way from Arizona to join our class, but we made him a Sopho- more for coming without asking us. Long. Gay, Freeman, and Gregory are helping Mr. Crozier coach the ball team. Pope. Kitchin, Hardy, Walker, White, and Oliver consented to be on the Glee Club, as Professor Eatman knew it couldn ' t be much unless a lot of our class were on the club. Josey. Hardy, and Clark are our hottest sporting men : Duffy and White are on the basket-ball team ; and Oliver is smartest of all. for he even makes the Alumni dance for him. Well, there isn ' t time to tell about all the rest. Most of them are all right, but some are not. and we have told Dr. Poteat not to let them come back. Commencement is nearly here, and then we ' ll all spend our money for peanuts and give some to our girls, too. Next year we will be even greater as Sophomores than we are this year as newish, if that is possible. At any rate, we shall be better than the Sophs, are this year. HiSTORI.AN. P.

The Sofermores ! They ' aint in it with us : all that they can do is ter brag that they compare favurably with us, and be satisfied. Why just take one glance at the class of nineteen-io. an you ' ll hartilv agree w th me. that we ' re the hansomest set of boys that ever struck Wake Forest : there ' s Hunter Pope: Caruso ' s rival. Collins; J. P. Harris, and just numbers of others equaly as handsom. Good looks goes a long way toward suckses. and this is one rea.son why I can proficy with such certainty, because the indications is so favurable. .As I look throo a glass britely into the dark and uncertain futur, I behold n every walk of life. Wake Forest men of the class of 1910. taking the lead. In the court-room I see our deer litt le Georgia Xewish. Walter Baldwin, presiding, and there before the jury stands Sanford Martin, as eloquent as Demos- thenes and as convincing and impresive as Sisero. Then there comes my old friend Hipps. from the side of the prisoner and with his well known earnestness he pours forth hs soul in an appeal to the sympathys of the juries. Xot only is our Xewish to be seen in the court-rooms, but in that grates of all callins. the ministry. I see in the leadin pulpits of the land. Kitchin. Duffy. Clark, and Hardy, and I hear the voices of Sullivan. D. A. Brown, and Cap. Cooper, whose usefulness and piety is felt all over the countrv. Again. I clearly see Ragland as he pulls his hair and uselesslv tries to discover why a buzzard lopes instead of single-footing, and jNIitchell. as he bends over his microscope and tries to find out why a muskito don ' t use his hornv legs, to make man cuss, rather than use the round-about method of diggin a well, with his beak, in man ' s flesh. Carrick. I see. sits dreamily on a mountain top and amputates the length of time before earth will bust up and he will be allowed the long desired privilege of exploring the Elysian woods and fields. The kelidescope changes and I see Walker. iMarshall. Tunstall. and others rushing here and there looking after the internal workins of man. with all the diligence that they use to display in the Chemical Labatory when making funk. High up they stand in their profeshun. and in the esteem and regard of their fellow-men. In the industrial world. I behold the sweet girlish face of Buchanan, at the head of a large banking establishment, and I see Britt, president of some big trust, with Philip Thomas 1st- Vice-President. In the world of Journalism I behold Conn. Edwards, and Williamson figuring prominently. Conn, noted for his accuracy and ability to tell stories; Edwards, for his ability to write novels, and Williamson for his gift as a humorist. In all of the profeshnns that I might name. I find the Newish of 1910 at the head. and. ' hat reason. you may ask, have you for inaking such a proficy? Tlie fact that we. as a class, have determination, high ideals, and are the best- looking set of boys in school. Profit. Hatu Clagg ©IfitevS HERHEKT L. WIGGS President. JULIAN W.

At that time it was rc,t;anli.-il with some suspicion and even disfavor by some friends of the Colletje. It has steadily grown, how- ever, in the favor of the Faculty and Trustees, until now Professor Eatman meets with hearty and unanimous support from all sides. L ' nlike most college organi- zations, the Club has. during the three ears of its e.x ' stence, invariably cleared a neat amoimt over and above expenses at the end of each season. On ihe fall trip of igod. under the skillful management of Mr. Ralph H. Ferrell, the amount cleared was approximately two hundred dollar-.. Tlu- tour included Henderson, W ' arrenton, Scotland Xeck. Kock Mount, and Dunn. The spring trip comprises ESurlington, High Point. Lenoir. Salisbury, . shev He. and Waynesville. The Club is cordially received everywhere and has always proved to be a most success- ful representative of the College. Hobe is a H utjble Love is a bubble : Love is a trouble ; Love is a pale moonbeam : Love is a fever ; Love ' s a deceiver ; Love is a fleeting dream. Seek it, it flies yi.u ; Flee it, it hies you ; Dread it, it pursues you the more : Careless, it haunts you ; Boastful, it daunts you : Grasp, and it (|uickly will soar.

From an unenviable place in athletics, the College has risen to one of prominence. The chief factors in this success are our well- equipped gymnasium, efficient trainer, and the co-operation of the student body. The gymnasium work, under the direction of Mr. Crozier and his assistant, occupies an important place in college life, and the frequent exhibitions are largely attended. Basket-ball, volley-ball, indoor baseball and handball, make the work interesting. Field day is recognized, and last year the records made here show that we could turn out a fine track team. It is to be hoped that an inter-collegiate track meet can be arranged. We have an organized Athletic Association, with good enthusiasm. TI-.l ' Wake Forest IVeekly tends to keep up the interest. This year we have already won the State championship in Ixith basket-ball and tennis. We believe that these two teams are the equal of any in the South. We do not have a football team, but the games played on the Hill last fall sluiw that with a good football coach we could turn out a strong aggregation. It is the great wish of the student body that the Trustees will allow us to put out a font- ball team next year. The baseball season is just beginning as we go to press. The prospects are good, and the team bids fair to hold up the record for what has been a most successful year in athletics. ee ' 9 ' ■e. S . pagebaU tlTeam, 1907 J. R. CROZIER Coach, j. B.

It is peculiarly so at Wake Forest, as we are not allowed to have football, and consequently all our enthusiasm finds vent in baseball. The Wake Forest spirit of never say die has worked wonders in the past, and so long as we keep up that spirit, we will have good athletics, whether we win or lose. Last year ' s team was one of the best we have had in the past few years. True, we did not win a majority of games; but we believe that if there had been more games with the same teams, W ' ake Forest would have won a large majority of thcni. A. and M. was beaten for the first time in three years; Davidson we broke even with, and Carolina and Virginia each beat us by only one run. It is only fair to say that but for bad decisions by the umpire at critical moments in both games the result would at least have been a tie. Neither of these teams would give us another game, although we were very anxious for a return engage- ment, especially with Chapel Hill. Guilford was the only team plaj ' ed that had a distinct advantage over us, and that game was plaj-ed with neither of our two first pitchers in the box. With Jim or ' Gene Turner in the bo.x and Waite Hamrick at the other end, we had a cracker-jack battery. One of the Turner ' s played first, and Couch, Benton and Capt. Smith made out a fast infield. Goodwyn, Richardson, and Beverly were a trio in the infield who had few equals and no superiors, while White and Holding made excellent substitutes. The true worth of the team was shown by the game played at Commencement, in which a crack team of collegians and semi-professionals from Raleigh were shut out by the score of 7 to o. Wake Forest making only one error and the visitors getting a lone hit of the scratch- iest variety. Prospects are bright for this season. Jim Turner, Hamrick, Benton, Couch, Beverly and White are bacT . There is some excellent new material, and by the time this reaches our readers, we predict that, under Mr. Crozier ' s guidance, Wake Forest will have won a majority of the games played. TfRNER Ei.i.inrr Couch liEVEKi.v Cku .iek LlTPLK DUKFV BASKET-BALL TEAM, STATE CHAMPIONS. iBasifeetPaU THIS year marks the closing cif diir second season of intercollegiate basket- ball. To say that we had a good team is putting it mildly; to say that we had the best team in the State is more nearly the truth, though that is perhaps not enough. From a good team last year, the first put out by Wake P ' orest, we haye deyeloped an aggregation that is easily the best team in the State. The first game of the season was played in Durham, and the wearers of the blue put up the hardest kind of a fight. Couch was not able to play, or the score might have been different. Elliott starred, scoring all the jjoints on field goals. His playing, as in all other games, vas of the highest order. Wake Forest came out two points in the lead — 8 to 6. The contest with Littleton was little mure than a practice game, and Wake Forest rolled up 53 points against 6 for the visitors, all scored on fouls. Every man did star playing. But Guilford made things a I ' ttle more interesting. In this game Elliott starred, having 12 points out of 2y to his credit. Couch and Little also figured in the scoring, and lleverly and Turner preyented the Quakers from throwing a single field goal. Trinity at Wake Forest was the last game. It was a rough game from the start, but all our way. Couch made five field goals, and threw several fouls. All the team played together beautifully. In fact, it was altogether the best game of the year, a fitting close for the season. Elliott and Couch did most of the goal throwing. Little always was of great assistance in getting the ball and in passing. Beverly alternated between forward and guard, doing fine work in both places. Turner and Gay made a most effective pair of guards. White and Duffy played in only a part of one game, but their showing in the practice games w-as evidence that they would have delivered the goods if called u])on. l ' ciur straight victories, wi ' b a total of i 10 points to opponents ' 24, gives us an un(|Uistionabk ' claim tii the State champ ' on- ship in basket-ball. Mr. Cmzier has made an enviable reputation as a coach. He issued a challenge tn any team in the South, which none of them saw fit to accept, however. TENNIS Cl.rii. Cennis IF there is inio gaiiie in wliicli Wako I- ' ort ' st excels, it is tennis. We have a record unsurpassed in tlie history of intercolk ' siate Raines, having plavcd seven matches and won them all, Insini; ( nl four sets out of tliirtv-three. in the past three years. ( )ne secret of our phenomenal success is the s|)irited tournaments held each fall. This year the playinf - in the tournament was up to the usual standard. Messrs. Turner and ' hite. although once within only one point of losing their match to Messrs. ami and Lyles, finally won out. They met Messrs. Poteat and Earnshaw in the challenge match : the first set went to deuce at eight-all, and it was only after one of the most brilliant contests on record that the holders managed to retain their title. In the singles, Messrs. Turner and l ' arnshaw made their way without great difficulties to the finals. Mr. Turner, by hard, fast playing, earning the right to play Mr. Poteat for the championship. The challenge match in singles was one long to be remembered. Mr. Poteat won the first set, but lost the second. He was thought to have the advantage by taking the third, but Mr. Turner came right back and captured the fourth set. The playing of both was exceptionally brilliant. After Mr. Poteat had won the first two games of tlie deciding set, Mr. Turner evened up matters once more, and darkness ended in a tie what was the most hard-fought game ever seen on the Hill. Roth men were content to rest on their laurels. There have been no intercollegiate matches this year up to the present writing, although Messrs. Poteat. Earnshaw and Turner have bested some of the crack players of Raleigh. It is inuch regretted that the contest with Virginia was not pulled off, and we hope a meet can be arranged with them later on. May Wake Forest cimtinue to retain her unbroken record of victories.

Adams, after •returning to his room one night from a Glee Club concert, was heard to remark rapturously while gazing at himself in a mirror, ■ Man, O man ! verily thou art a genius. The following verse of poetry was copied from Kitchin s Latin prose com- position, page i68: To I was thinking of the shores b - the waters caressed, ( )f the many times your little hand I ' ve pressed: How of all on earth. I lo ve you best of any. Tell me, darling, are my thoughts worth a penny ? IT va a part (it my nature — that trant;i- avi-rsimi td tL-malc scicietv. 1 liad never Ijeen aljle tn dissect it. ti timl tnini whence it came, ur what ' twas made of; I only knew that from my earHest recollections whenever or wherever in the presence ut woman, there arose in me a feeling ' which, for lack of a better term, I can only describe as a feelint; of tjeneral want-wittedness. And once in possession of me, as lonj; as I was in feminine ijresence it held me, suffering fluctuations, of course, varying usually inversely with acquaintanceship, but in some degree of intensity always there until the influence was removed ; then quite as inexplicably it would leave me, as one who is awakened from an unpleasant dream wondering but uninformed of the source or nature of the experience through which he has just gone. . family legend held — at first 1 gave it little thought or credence — that once in snme far-off time a male progenitor had been given til a s])irit of intimidation, alnmst brutality, towar l his family, and that the little ilelicate sweet-.sduled lily-tlower of a wife had paled away and died under his tyranny. The penalty intlicted upon llie unnatural husband for this high crime was a curse that no masculine iift-spring should ever stand at his ease in the l)resence or regard of woman. And the p t of it — Xh. the pity of it. la.yn! — we were just as emotional, just as passionate, just as amorous as any of the race. With the completicin of my high-schonl days, in view of mv unfortunate nature. 1 had come tu regard myself as one uf the mifavored ones of the earth, liver whoni, fur no reason of their nwn. a kind of ignoble destiny hangs. In a spirit of injured pride and self-defence. I assumed an attitude of blind recklessness, believing that for this inferiorit) along one line I was destined to lie a failure in all (jtliers. During that higli-school jieriod I was daily associated with blossoming womankind, and true to lio ish nature, had my passionate attachment, my pro temjiore infatuation, but with little advancement toward the adored one because with m ' diffidence aroimd me 1 was like one in a race encumbered with heavy chains. I ' .iU the golden da s of college life were just ahead, where a glimpse of a ]iretty face was only occ.isional or a tantalizing smile a matter of extreme rarity. It is difficult, even for the most cultivated mind, under new scenes and totally different circumslances. to hold to ])ast experiences as real, ( ' iradually and with- out com]ilaint tlie sli|i from the field of living beings and. like forsaken things, fade away ami die under the influence of new impressions. Upon my entrance in college dawned a new era tor nie — interesting, vast, . fter only a passing famil- iarity with the associations of those hallowed walls. 1 found 1 liad little time for older memories; lost they were and irrcvocahly in the hurr and fascination of the new life — the swirl, the work, and the dreams. Three years of the phantom life passed in one. two. three order — pliantnni because of its flatness, and to me especially so from the satisfaction it brought, the most complete of my life. I ' nder the duress of that first year my old weakness was quite forgot, and dut of tliat year I came not only successful but, contrary to my greatest expectations, a figure in tlie class. The second was begun auspi- ciously, and from then until my fourth a rec ord of almost unbroken successes. Honors, dignities, responsibilities were heaped upon me. concerning which I acquitted myself with repute and increasing self-respect and emulation. Mean- while. I had forgotten that some warriors are .Amazons, and not all Greeks, among whom e.xperieiice had taught me to take my stand with becoming con- fidence. At last, in my fourth ear. there was only one prize worth considering before me, and toward that I had directed all my energies since coming to my own. The Trivette Scholarship was the highest award, and by far the most substantial, within the gift of the institution. ( )ther honors had come to me unsought, but this one I held to be the one conquest worthy of any man ' s golden efforts. It was offered only every three years, purely on merit, and provided for extensive study and travel abroad. College record from almost every standpoint was considered : any member within certain age limits was allowed to enter ; but not even then was the place always filled, for the requirements were so high that sometimes three wdiole years failed to produce a worth - candidate. To the student of .scholarly inclinations it was a prize indeed. In any case the fates, otherwise perhaps neglectful, seemed singnlarlv kind. At the end of three years there was only one possible opponent, and the records were ntaterially in my favor. The fourth year was begun with renewed hopes and aspirations. The fall term sped rapidly away, with no flagging in m popularity and with a gratifying increase in my prospects for the coveted prize. The only thing in front was the final test three months off. and less — iiiiii-h less — depended upon that than upon the record. I was ejated. .Mmost I had begun already to taste the fruits of victor . Midway the spring term of each year was a public affair given bv the college and participated in specially by the classes. It lasted a day and night, with thou- sands of visitors from all parts of Ijie country. Decidedly it was the social function of the wdiole college ear. Preliminary to it was much and careful preparation, notably among which was the election of vat-ious officers to hold fortli u um 11k- k casiiiii. lit pniniim-noc. u le that place came tn iiic iinsiili of course, of the )l)hE;ati In the (listrihutiiin nf these there fell to iin Int a place laile alniiist imperative the attemlance of a hulv. The ed. hut I was dispuseil ti. accept it. pertVctl ' seusihle, 1 it Cduferre.l. In the priile i f my conipiesl, I helil no memory of old defects, or if 1 rememhered I was williny and perhaps eager to renew the conflict with them, confident of success. Two weeks before the event in question I was busy ransackin;;- my naturally scanty storehouse of female acquaintances for a suitable companion. An unusual employment at best, it was a difficult matter to settle to my entire satisfaction, lint as a choice had to be made, I at last hit upon the pretty daut;hter of Judse Farron, a schoolmate of earlier days who was hi h in my esteem. The decision made, in addition to a formal invitation I wrote her a little epistle politelv urging her to come ; and as I penned it a finger trembled a little and perhaps I felt a slight flush, but no matter, ' twas so insignificant I scarcely noticed it. A week passed by — it was only another till the event was to come oh: ' — and with thoughts recurring to the possibilities of it, 1 could not but be slightlv wrought up with anticipation. The matter of making arrangements I had purposely delayed for a little while, not that I was at all dubious of the outcome, 1 flattered myself, but because — well. 1 always found something else to do. . letter from Miss Farron came, with profuse regrets that she couldn ' t come. That possi]iilit ' had hardly occurred to me. What was 1 to do? Time was short and 1 must not be found wanting. For a few minutes I floundered hopelessly aroimd in a sea of perplexity. A moment of introspection would have revealed that I was becom- ing just a little nervous. It was while in this d-lemnia that a chum ajiproached me. Had 1 my arrangements complete for the reception? If not, he had a ]irop(isition for nic. Ofifer of assistance was by no means unwelcome, so I gave him my heed at once. Dr. Ridley, of the faculty, had just informed him tliat he expected a niece from a distance to attentl the exercises, and that an escort for her would be appreciated. If I had not an engagement already, why not this one? He vouched for the Doctor ' s assurance that she was young, pretty and winsome. . t mention of Dr. Ridley ' s name I winced a little. College physician and prominent member of the faculty, he was the only officer of the institution whose support, 1 felt, 1 could not count u]5on in the coming contest for the Trivette Scholarship. With the students he stood none too high in estimation of integrity and character; grufif and ungenerous but extremely politic, he was indebted for his prominence in college matters to his e.xperience and diplomacy, rather than to his spotlessness and rectitude as a man. That I had ever .given him cause for dislike I was not aware, nor could I say that he had shown me open hostility ; still the fact remained that my competitor for the coveted honor was a close friend of 152 his, if not a l insinan. fnr whom there was no Hmit to his favors, and from little tliiiii;s I gathered tliat his disposition toward me was none too favorable. I was just on tlie point of refusing to profit from my friend ' s suggestion when upon reflection I questioned who knew but that this might be a means for winning the Doctor ' s good will? Two minutes after my companion was on his way to inform the doctor that I would be only too glad to make the engagement, leaving mc not quite sure that I would not be greatly relieved when the affair was over. The nearer the eventful day the more it occupied my thoughts, and tlic nvn - thought I gave it the more restless I grew, until I wished with all my lieart it were through with. But of course I should have resented any insinuation that I was excited or at all dreaded the ordeal. Thursday night came — Friday was the dav for the great social break in the routine of our work — and I confessed, to mvself. that my sleep for a night or two had been less peaceful than formerly. Hut when I tried to analyze my condition for the cause I could get no deeper than that 1 was busy ruminating on the expected event. If I closed my eyes in sleep at all that night, it was in a kind of delirium, from which the waking was so much Jbetter than the sleep. .And in those few scattered moments of wretched somnolency what dreams came ! Fierce .Amazons in warlike array deported themselves about my bedside, or hordes of them formed in battle-line against me and charged to transfix me with a million pikes. Ghastly women in flowing white cerements sported tirelessl) ' on the airy stairways of niv chamber, grinning at me all the time with a fearful kiwiciiigncss. The night stretched before me, whether asleep or awake, a long black horror. Morning brought .some respite from my mental disorder. It seems paradoxi- cal, but change merely the time of day sometimes and the man ' s whole nature seems changed likewise. The difference in my case, however, was not so marked. I was visibl ' myself again, but when I tried to summon something of the old expectation of approaching conr|uest I found no response. JNFy courage, when I looked for it. had all oozed away like water in sand. . s the morning wore on. an uncertain dread began to gnaw at my bosom and before long was ransacking m ' whole system in nervous twitching. At the noon hour news comes to me that Dr. Ridley was very busy, and would the young man who was to attend his niece at the reception meet her on the mid-afternoon train ? . t this my nervousness, which had shown increasing zeal, settled mercilessly into a dumb terror. And to add to my consternation, a telegram was handed me from a member of last year ' s class. He had intended to meet his fiancee at L and come with her to the exercises, but had missed his train. The burden of his message was, take care of Lily until he came at seven. There is a limit to all things human, and this last stood in that relation to my endurance. I sat down to dinner with the others, but food was not what I needed. W ' hv. what ' s the matter? asked a frienc ' from across the table. I am deathly sick. was my reply, and rising; hastilv 1 sought my rnoni. Sympathy poured in upon me from fellow students, that I was likely to miss tlte exercises, where my presence seemed well-nijjh indispensable. Dr. Ridley was sent for. What a collapse ! said he. feeling my pulse and scanniufj me carelessly. Xerves all wrought up; been studying too hard, eh? (The final test for the Trivette Scholarship was to come in only ten days. ) You ' ll have to stay in and be quiet for awhile till you can collect yourself. he continued, administering medicine and advice together. And with what seemed to me iust the shadow of a malignant smile the huffy old doctor left the room. Somehow he seemed to carry a kiml of evil spell with him. Meanwhile a singular feeling of ease had crept over me: wasn ' t :t fortunate that the did not know the real cause of my distress! F.xprcssions of sorrowful regret followed at my unfortunate condition just at that time. Sweetness came to me at their delusion, hut at the same time f could have stood sponsor for mv own hanging, so disgu.sted was I at my unparalleled trepidation. The exercises passed off smoothly, almost brilliantly. I understood. With the immediate cause of my malady removed, I was almost myself a.gain, except that 1 had drifted into a state of low-spiritechiess. inertia, indisposition to turn my hand to anything. The Doctor v ' sited me occasionally, but would not consent to my resinning my work. His niece. I was told, was a charmer, a judgment in which I heartily concurreil. having glim|iseil her once from my window. . week pa.ssed. and still 1 was ke])t idle, . notlier slow twenty-four hours was added to the li.st ; only two days rema ' ned until the final eiifort was to be made for the great .scholarship. The thought of it was elixir in my veins. I was overflowing with renewed energy, not doubting T would be allowed to stand, and commented upon my im]iatience when tlic Doctor came in the next morning. . t this the man of medicine straightenc l his huge frame to its full height, and I thought 1 coulil see a kiml of demoniac leer play about his face as he said. ' oimg man, (iu had better wa ' t till 1 tell you to get out! With that he strode from the room. For a moment I was dazed. Was the hope and worlc of years to be lost by this unlucky circumstance ' 1 sprang to my feet, t ' oiild not the time be changed? Xo. that was fixed! Then 1 would stand anyway, desjiite the Doctor ' s authority! But no. he was a member of the body through which election was to come, and physical qualifications were dependent upon his a|ipro al! lie ei ' uld turn me down if he chose. It is needless to add that 1 was noticeably worse that mght. . 11 the next day while the examination was in progress 1 had enough to do. There was onlv one candidate, my compeer of the class of the year before. But I too was busy — and all that night — thinking, thinking. By morning I had reached a conclusion. Plainly the Doctor had taken advantage of his position to deprive me. almost certainly, of the scholarship, the one ambition of my life ! 1 d ! ! — what was the rest of the term worth ' I dressed myself with scrupulous care of my toilet, and at a morning hour when the Doctor was sure to be in. I made my way toward his office — the blue sky overhead, the solid ground underneath, the sun in the heavens, birds on the wing. — and a grim determination in my heart. Unceremoniously I entered, to find the Doctor ' s ungainly frame bending over his desk. Upon hearing me, he turned, and flush overspread his countenance. L ' ndaunted. there I stood and reproached him for his perfidy, and in an instant later h;s herculean figure and my spare one were mixed and grappling about the room in tumultuous riot. Back and forth we swayed like two frenzied school-boys, each doing his utmost for the mastery. But the Doctors massive frame was too much for me. weakened as I was by his physic. At this tlistant date I recall a mad strxiggle ior a brief space, a heavy fall, a sharp blow or two upon my head from a har l instrument, and I lost consciousness. I could not have been totally unconscious long; there followed a period in which I seemed only faintly aware of existence. But in that brief interval I had time to take note of a soft, velvety hand passed lightly over my face several times. The air seemed surcharged with various odors ; then I heard a sharp reproach from a gentle female voice, followed by an uncertain answer in the gruff tones of the Doctor. The sound of the gruff voice acted like a stimulant on me : I shuddered, seemed to debate with myself for half a second whether to awake or relapse into dreamlessness again, and opened my eyes. A slender female fomi was bending over me w-ith startled, anxious face, and with deft hands that seemed made for brushing aside all the distresses of a world was applying to my forehead and temples restoratives for my recovery. At the first signs of my returning consciousness, the Doctor had glided from the room. I lay for some time in quiet wonder at my situation, lost in admiration of the fair one before me. She was first to break the silence. ■■ I am ' iola Ridley, said she in a sweet voice. Uncle has just informed me who you are. I was coming for a walk when I heard the tumult and entered without knocking just in time to see him strike you. . nd the look she gave me as she turned her gaze full upon me must have been akin to the concern a pitying angel shows in its compassion for a suffering mortal. Such a look must have confounded me utterly once, but now it was as a pleasing cordial to my benumbed senses. wily did you do it ? she questioned further, I was amused to a true sense of my position and started up. Aware that slie would hardly understand, or would, perhaps, misconstrue my motives, I offered only a brief explanation ; then thinking it best to avoid further rencontre with the Doctor, I poured out a profusion of thanks for her service and prepared to depart. But once at the door, 1 returned to grasp her hand and protest again and again my obligations to her. It occurred to me then that nothing of my old trouble had returned, and my sensible lack of it was somewhat bewildering. I know she uuist have thought me, jioor fellow, demented still. . s 1 walked away, 1 was conscious of a pair of eyes regarding me through the window, and as of old my nature responded to the influence, but how differ- ently ! — then with extreme confusion, now with a feeling of transportation to the stars. Had the order of the universe changed ? I )f course I was arraigned before the authorities for my intolerable behaviour, ;uid was susjiended from school, lint of what conse([uence was that to me? I had lIiMught of prosecuting the Doctor by process of law. but two months later when 1 read in an evening paper that he had retired from active service in the college on account of ill health. 1 was satisfied. 1 knew, and I knew that all interested knew, that a committee of the tru tees had investigated the matter and advised his withdrawal. The college was rid once and for all of his obnoxious jiresence. The next commencement 1 was duly awarded my diploma, and not without distinction. And greater still, just one year later, as t stood in the parlor of the far-away house of prett - little ' iola Ridley holding her fairy hand, ' a ' ithoiit ciiihanassniciil . after having made a fuller ex]ilanation — an l confession, too — than the one maile on that eventful morning when 1 met her. . nd I felt more kindly (lisp(,seil than I ever h.iil Ijeen before toward the old man whti had lost me ' I ' m ' .

Tlie speaker paused a ninniciit, tlieii : Ladies and Gentlemen ! This time he shifted his weight dver to his left fc«Jt. ran his fingers through his hair, and once more, with a final attempt at nratory, reiterated the words: I adies anil (kntlemen! This time, howexer, with the emphasis on the last word. The exertion ijmved too much for him, ami he droppeil limply to the ground — all he said was : Confound it ! With this he leaned hack, his head resting; on the moss-covered rock behind him. He let his eyes rest lazily on the lieauliful things about him; then he sighed. — not a sigh of content, such as ou sometimes read about, but a tempestuous, long-drawn sigh. The ground was carpeted with graceful, lace-hke ferns and glossy heart- leaves. A muscadine grape-vine, laden with bloom, climbed riotously over a vonng water-oak, wdiile from across the stream was borne the sweet, rank odor of the wild magnolia. Right in the middle of the little brawling stream lay an immense mill-stone, worn and discolored. People said that once, years ago, this had been the site of an old mill, so the place was called Mill Seat. Here it was that as])iring young orators from the college nearb - came to practice their speeches. It was for this purpose that llarton Hunt had come here this afternoon, but instead of becoming oratorical on The Future of ( )ur Country, as he had intended, here he was, lolling on a bank of ferns, eyes half closed, a frown on his handsome, sunburned face. Suddenlv he began talking to himself — an odd habit he had: ' Senior Medal for Improvement in I )rator ' — he was tiunting. and his tone was full of scorn. I ' .other! I ' m no orator, and 1 think llie old man ought to know it by this time. Wants me to ' try for the medal ' ! Humph ! don ' t want any old medal — think they ' re mighty tacky, myself! But it was not until he reached down in his pocket and pulled out a letter that a note of real trouble crept into his voice. It was written in a slanting, angular hand, on heavy, gray note paper. Bart drew it out of its envelope and read slowly to himself: ' My Dear Mr. Hunt. ' Mr. Hunt! Since when, I wonder? Yesterday afterui.ion I was ' Bart. ' Dear me! . s long as we ' ve known each other, this is the first time — He did not finish his sentence, but read on: ■■ ■ I am in a great hurry this morning, but I must tell you that since hearing the remark you made about me. I have come to the conchision that our friend- ship — in fact, our acquaintance — must cease. It is useless to repeat the remark. — of course you would only deny having said it. Do not try to explain : I think explanations almost always make matters worse. ' I am sorry, but it must be so. ■■ ' Hurriedly. Eli.ice Cartwricht. ■ ' ' P. S. — I enclose your fraternity pin — and 1 would like my picture. ' Well, that ' s a freezer, and no mistake. he went on. bitterly, replacing the letter in his pocket. If I didn ' t care anything for her. I ' d let the matter drop. I know well enough I ' m innocent, for I ' m not the sort of fellow that goes off and talks about folks behind their backs, and — but what in thunder has that girl heard? Some fellow has made up a lot of yarns about me and repeated them to her with the purpose of cutting my throat on the sly. His brows contracted, and he set his teeth hard. ■■ I wish I knew who it was that told her — don ' t I. though? Wouldn ' t I just naUirally wear him out — Confound the luck! It makes nie tired for fellows to pretend to be friends and then try and cut one out of his girl by unfair means when his back is turned. I call that being double-faced. And. too. — He stopped suddenly, for the nasal, strident notes of a cornet were making Mill Seat hideous. He sprang to his feet, giving vent to ejaculations of the not loud but deep variety. The cornet player was struggling through Sweet Marie haltinglv. in a minor key. Leaping to the top of the rock. l!art peered in the direction whence came the sound. In the half-twilight of the forest he could just discern a gray trousers leg, half hidden b ' a poplar tree about a hundred yards awaw ■ ' It ' s that fool Harris, out here practicing. he said in disgust. Then he made a trumpet of his hands: Say ! he yelled. stop that infernal screeching. The music stopped abruptly. .A pair of near-sighted eyes appeared from behind a poplar, a nervous, querulous voice answered : ■ Hey! What is it? Did you say — Barton then had the pleasure of knowing that he had accosted his Mathe- matics Professor. Oh. I — er. that is. — in fact, ycu .see. ' Fessor. I — I wanted you to know how much I am enjoying — that is. — er — you see — your charming — music ! ■■ . h. thanks. Professor Davis seemed gratified, and immediatelv the music start el afresh. This time it was In the Sweet Bve-and-Bve with variations. Barton tied. jj Break, break, break, On thy cold gray stones, 0. sea!

' hat ' s the matter with my old lady ' ? lauo;hed Cotton-top Smith, in mock dismay. Smith was Bart ' s room-mate. Nothing! Hush up. can ' t you? replied Bart, politely. Look out of the window, Barty, and maybe you ' ll feel a little better, cried Tommy Carter. Bart looked. Two figures were coming slowly down the eim-shaded street wh ' .ch led past liart ' s boarding place. . slender, graceful girl in filmy green and a man — a small, undersized fellow — in a gray suit. E.xcuse me. fellows, and Bart left the table. Poor old chap, couldn ' t face the music — but I ' m sure I don ' t blame him much. said Cotton-top. What was the matter? Was he sick? asked Mr. Dallas, a brotlier of one of the .students. He was a stranger, not posted along certain lines. Pretty sick at heart, I guess, Mr. Dallas, replied Reddy sagely. He and his girl have had a fuss, and he saw her go past with another man. Her name? Miss Ellice Cartwright, a mighty attractive girl she is, too. I feel sorry for old Bart, for he is a fine fellow — Bill Suggs can ' t hold up a stump of a candle to him. Suggs? ( ), he ' s the one wdio has just passed with Miss Cartwright. The boys left the table in groups, going off to stroll in the beautiful old campus, or loll on the rustic benches under the leaf-laden elms. Fiut Bart went straight to his room in the dormitory. He pulled a chair close to the window and leaned out, his elbows on the window-sill. The campus was alive with sound — over on the steps of the Law Building a crowd was singing ( )ld Oaken Bucket — on a bench not far away a little knot of Freshmen were planning how we ' ll treat the new men next year — L ' ncle Joe. the old colored janitor, was drawing water from the creak- ing old college well. meanwhile giving advice to a crowd of amused Sopho- mores. But I ' .art hail eyes for nijne of these things; for on a walk not far away he had caught the flutter of a green dress. . s the two figures came nearer. Bart saw that the girl ' s arms were laden with pink roses, — one was in her brown hair, but Bart had eyes only for the pink rose on the lapel of his rival ' s coat. It had been a week — such a long week — since he had gotten Ellice ' s note, and in all that time he had been unable to find out who had given her information concerning him, or, in fact, even the information itself. 160 And every day she walked in the campus with Bill Suggs. He was giving her what the students called a big rush. and Bart — poor Bart ! felt as though he had come suddenly face to face with a blank wall. He sat by the window and watched the stars come out. and saw the students leave the campus. Then, when he heard them come tramping down the corridors, he turned slowly from the window and lighted his lamp. Then he sat down bv the table and opened his Logic book. At that moment in came Cotton-top. He was a short, thick-set youth with a mop of sandy hair, — hence his nick-name. Studying already ! he cried. What is it. — Logic ? I suppose vou can get more out of it by holding the book upside down, can you ? Maybe that ' s a process of ' inverted reasoning — eh, old chap ? Tm tired — don ' t believe I ' ll study much to-night. Poor boy, said Smith, shaking his tousled head. But, Barty, me bov, a thought occurred to me awhile ago — Not really ? Bart was used to his room-mate ' s running fire of conversa- tion, and paid little attention to it. Yes, really. It was this way — put down that book, I ' ll bet you ' ll be interested before I get through. I was coming back from down town just now. and I passed a crowd of fellows on a bench. Just before I got to them I heard somebody say : But Miss Cartwright didn ' t used to look at Bill Suggs ! ' Go on, go on — I ' m listening. Bart was leaning forward, all interest now. Why, really, do you mean to say you want to hear any more ? Oh, well, another fellow spoke up, and said, ' Xo, she didn ' t. But you see he won favor by telling a story on Bart Hunt. ' That ' s exactlv what he said. Was that all ? Yes: they changed the subject when I came up — wasn ' t it enough, though? Well, I reckon. I also reckon I ' ll go over to Suggs ' room now. L ' nless, he added scornfully, he is still out walking with the lady in blue. Blue ? Why. it was green, old chap ! But then, of course, love is color- blind. Run along and see Billy, but I must stay at home and darn socks. I 7(.-ish I had a darning-egg — a cake of soap will do, though ! ' It ' s about the only way you use soap, snapped Bart. Yes, .Mr. Suggs was at home, and was very glad to see Mr. Hunt. Would Mr. Hunt have a seat? He was all frigid politeness. O. break it off, Billy, said Bart, wearily seating himself on the bed. Just tell me what ou told Miss Cartwright about me. and I ' ll go. The shaft struck home. Suggs flushed crimson, and half rose from his chair. You. — I — what ! he gasped You remember. I guess — what did you tell her I said about her? It was the truth — it certainlv was ! C), well, we ' ll see about that later, but now — Xo, you think I ' m a liar, you as good as said so. and I ' m not ! O. Billy, for heaven ' s sake, go on and tell me. Well. I told her — it was true, tix) — one day you and I went to the postoffice together, and I asked you if you had ever made love to her — do you remember? Yes. confound your impertinence — I remember thinking- at the time that it was none of -our business. Was tliat what it was about? Well, that led up to it. What made her mad was this : When I asked if youVl ever made love to her. you said — these were your very words. ' No. but that doesn ' t mean there haven ' t been some very plain hints. ' That ' s what I told her. and — well. I don ' t blame her for being mad. Bart sat still; his face wore a puzzled expression. Certainly I said it. he said, knitting his brows, liut what 1 can ' t see is — why did it make her mad ' 1 Why — why. indeed! mared Suggs, bringing his fist down on the table with a bang. Isn ' t it enough to make any girl mad. to hear that .some fellow has said she hinted for him to make love to her? — it would make me mad if I were a girl, I ' ll be jumped if it wouldn ' t! I hated mighty bad to tell her, but I thought I ought to. And one thing certain — He stop])ed. his mouth wide open in amazement, fur I ' .art had his liead thrown back, and was roaring with laughter. Well; I fail to see the juke in it. nnself, said tile mystified Suggs. I nnist be very obtuse — That ' s just it. gasi)e(l I ' .art; and I would lie perfectly furious with you if it only wasn ' t sd killingly funny! He went oft ' into another paroxysm of laughter. Suggs could not find a word to say — he stootl there with his mouth and eyes both wide open. The funny thing is. that you ,got my words exactly right, but you misin- terpreted what I said. Certainly I said that hints had been given, but I meant that had been giving them — not she ! I wish to goodness she would help a fellow along a little wdien he goes to tell her something. You see. I ' m just naturally bashful, and I can ' t get up enough courage to tell her right out that I love her. so I ju.st hint around. Do you understand your mistake m — or would you like for me to explain in words of one syllable? Suggs ' face was a study. Was — THAT — it? he managed ti) saw Of course it was. you little idiot. — .V . I don ' t want tn fi,ght. — yon can put your coat on, — you ' re too little for a big man like me to tackle. Xow. I guess you will keep out of my affairs hereafter, wun ' x you? Suggs nodded miserably. And don ' t you think it ' s rather up to you to go up right awa ' and explain to Miss Cartwrigiit? I — why — must I go to-night? Certainly. I ' ve been worrieil wilh this thing long enough. Yes, but — Never mind ' but ' — 1 guess you won ' t ' butt in ' liereafter, will vou ? And you be sure you fix things up all right, — I ' m afraid it mi.ght be a little unpleasant for you afterwards if you don ' t — and. by the way. ask her if she wouldn ' t like to go for a drive with me to-morrow afternuon if it ' s a good day? Promise me you ' ll do all that. Suggs — cringing, penitent Suggs — promised. There ' s your hat, Hilly, said I ' .art. Cbitor ' g neasp Cljair THE Editor-in-Chief sat alone in his room, on a dreary afternoon in March, thinking. He was not indulging in this unusual occupation without due cause, for the calendar hanging on the opposite wall gave silent testimony that it was only three days until the Annual went to press. He had just returned from a last visit to the Faculty Editor. A mass of material lay on the table, nearly all bearing the now familiar legend — o good, varied occasionally by Change and Re-write. How could the Faculty Editor have the heart to turn down all that material? The Editor was disposed to be rebellious, for in the lot were some of his own compositions, and like Dickens, he had a fondness for all of his brain children. But there was no help for it, and he resumed once more the seemingly unending job of assorting material. At last the end was reached, when — C ). hor- rible thought — there must be an editorial ! That item had entirely escaped him ; it was the last straw. The fifth volume of The Howler was about to go to press. In manv things it fell far short of that masterpiece planned by the editors at their first meeting, and yet it represented much time, conscientious endeavor, and great expectations on the part of the staflf. But at last it was done : the Business Manager had quit adding up figures, the Art Editor no longer wore a puzzled expression, the Drag Editor stopped his endless search for ciuotations, and the Senior Editors ceased to eulogize. The Editor-in-Chief was left alone in his misery ; even the Facult - Editor had deserted him. Amid this gloomy trend of thoughts, one happy idea occurred; perhaps the public would take the considerate view that quality rather than quantity had been the aim of the editors. The students had given it their support, and although some of the historians had failed at the last moment, they might be fc rgiven. To those who had contributed stories, to the artists who had kindly lent their aid, and especiall - to the Faculty Editor, much of what was good in it was due ; and if there was anything else worthy of mention, it might be attributed to the members of the staflf. The Editor arose, stretched himself, and put all the material away. He was on the verge of making more apologies, but perhaps the Annual would contain something worth being preserved, and after all. its readers were the ones to criticise. As the last bit of paper was put up. he could not help being a bit sad, feeling that his ' ' Ave atqiie vale to college Hfe had been said. Tlie book is completed.
