Whose products Juniors drink. Forever moving smooth aHead, More sober always when they part. And Freshmen spilled behind. .And better trained to think. 6 I ' ll show a Lake both broad and deep. But sometimes rather dry. Where Physic laws their vigils keep. And rules unnumbered lie. 7 8 I ' ll show a Timberlake, also, . nd then a GuIU e )y deep appears.

When a newish in college he fell a prey to the night- hawks one night, and after that was heartily in favor of the total extermination of that species.

This mountain giant was reared on the banks of the French Croad. His melodious voice tits him for music. Init he frowns while singing, and this debars him from the stage. His peculiar walk, as he goes liouncing along, suggests that he is an instructor here. It is reported that Bob and Professor Lake stand in. Next .vear he will solve the problem in electric lights. By some principle in Physics he is going to transfer the Northern Lights to illumine Wake Forest College. The remainder of his life he will extract sunbeams from cucumbers, to be put in phials and sold to warm the air in raw, inclement summers. CHARLES STONEWALL BARNETTE, B.A., PERSON COU.N ' TY, X. C.

Chas. possessed the netessary characteristics of a Quaker. He tried to say the things that were in his heart: but that which tell from his lips were iinly words to which his brain gave painful birth. He never aspired to be an orator, yet he cultivated his literary bent while in college. He believes that every one should look after his own affairs. He is one of these solid men. who are grown at an early age. He adores nothing feminine. He is destined to fill some important position at a Deaf and Dumb Institution. WILLIAM S. BRITT, LL.B., LIMBERTOX, ' . C. A countryman between tuo laicjiers is like a fish beticeen iico cats. Historian Freshman Class. 07: Licensed Lawyer, OS. His cocoanut is full of the milk ot human kindness, and he is a young man of rare ability, for he is taking a degree in two years. When a newish he dared do all that might become a man. but the Sophs, dared do more. His standing collar, white vest and walking-cane present him an important personage among the students. Bill is the proud possessor of a license from the Supreme Court of North Carolina, and, after leaving here, he will become a member of the Lumberton Bar, where he will exchange his oratory for country pro- duce. FRED F. BROW-X. B.. .. If you have great talents, industry icill improve them. Won Freshman Medal, ' 05; Wake Forest-Mercer De- bater, ' 07 and 08: President Y. M. C.

Fred is popular with all the stu ' .lerts. and is a boy of strong intellect, integrity, sterling qualities, and exemplary habits. When a Newish he wanted to take Psy.. but Dr. Taylor persuaded him to wait about three years. Since his Sophomore year he has given up Ex- perimental Chemistry and is now trying to decide whether he will practice law or preach. RICHARD LANE BROWN, LL.B.. ALBEMARLK. N. C. He has an eye that could speak. Ihatiyh his tongue were silent. Licensed Lawyer. Buster is generous and good-natured, has a pierc- ing eye and a strong intellect. He lias succeeded In winning a host of friends in college, and is competent to achieve whatever he undertakes in the future. He was one of the members of the Supreme Court class which batted Judge Hoke for a home run in Feb- ruary last. After graduating he will go back to Albe- niai ' le and enter upon the duties of his profession, and we predict that in the near future his reputation as a leading lawyer will be known from the St. Law- rence to California, — yea from Dan to Beersheba. PAUL QUINCY BRYAN, B.A., SCOTLAND NKCK, N. C. Verily his height measures his conceit. And for slang, well — he can ' t be beat. Corresponding Secretary for the Y. M. C. A., ' 05- ' 06; Associate Editor of The Howleii, ' 0ti- ' O7; Business Manager of the Glee Club, ' OT- ' OS. With an appetite that even rivals his wit, Paul has caused a steady advance in board bills for the past four years. He is a good, amiable fellow, with a suffi- cient reserve of gas to spiel hi opinions on any current subject of local ' magnitude. His unexampled economy (?) in managing the financial affairs of the Glee Club warrants for him a place of high standing in the world of finance. JOHN T. BYRIIM. B.A . KVLAND, N. C. Deep on his front engraven Deliberalion sat and public care. When John first joined the class of ' OS he was at once classed in Professor Sledd ' s favorite category. Xo smile has ever played upon Uis pious face. He will in due time become an able man of the ministry, and live a long life of single wretchedness. JAMES GROVER CARROLL. B.A., SAMPSOX COUXTV. N. C. Whoe ' er excels in what we prize. Appears a hero in our eyes. Vice-President of his Class; Senior Editor of Thl Howler. ' OT- ' OS. In spite of his unconcerned manner of locomotion, and his quivering chin, he is somewhat handsome. His countenance carries an ever ready smile, and his tongue a cheerful word for his fellows. Grover is a good student, and is master of what- ever he undertakes. Though he entered a full Fresh- man. with honor, he finishes in three years, and goes, level-headed, big-hearted, into th; field of tutor- ship, where the little ones look up to be fed. Many more of this type are needed in our schools. May his success be as grand as his prospects prophesy. OVERTON WILSON CLAYTON. LL.B.. A civil habit oft cuvers a good (:i mnn. Associate ' Judge of Moot Court. ' iis. The first thing we do. let ' s Ijill all the Lawyers. Gig comes from the Occident, and after two years demands his degree, and also License to practice his necessary attorney talent in the Commonwealth. His argument I? I. coupled with one of his long- drawn, bewitching smiles, will win any jjry to his feigned opinion. He has been an important character in the Moot Court. You can hear liim farther than jou can see him. His appetite is unruly at all times. When he came he possessed the one usual charac- teristic of a Freshman. It is surmised that he will become a great Lawyer. V. F. COUCH. B.S., .IENXI. ;S. X. c. A siirtjcon must Tiarc an ecgles eye. a lion ' s heart and a lady ' s hand. Baseball Team.

' OS. Vander is one of the popular men of his class. He has always taken an active interest in athletics; and in the history nf the college his name will ever be associated with basketball. His portentous counte- iiance bespeaks a man of sound mind and body. He thinks he was made for a doctor, and with that end in view he will continue the study of medicine. Some day he expects to roll up a great fortune with pills and quinine. OSCAR CREECH. B.A.. JOHXSTON COVXTY. X. C. Hanging and tciving goes hy destiny. She is mine own.

Creech. strong in character, modest in behavior, reserved in manners, faithful to his friends, shows himself to be a good, hard-working student. In his third .vear he holds out his hand for his degree. Only good things can be said of him. In the moral world he occupies the place of a true layman. During his last year, some unknown ( ?) force seems to have drawn him from the companionship of the boys. He offers his energ - to fight the illiteracy of the State. He is destined to become one of those old-time, seedy school teachers. A. W. DUXN. B.A.. SCOTL. Xi) XECK. X. C. Lets teacli ourselves that honorable stop. •Xot to out-sport discretion. ' Corresponding Secretary of the T. M. C. A., ' Oe- ' Oi: Associate Editor Howler. ' 06- ' 07: Class Orator. Ashby bears the distinction of being the youngest man of his class. He is also one of the handsome men of the class, and enjoys a wide reputation in social circles. As class orator he will even rival the eloquence of Cicero, or Webster, or some one else at commencement, and do honor not only to himself but to the class which he represents. He will at no dis- tant day become an able member of the Scotland Neck Bar. ELLIOT B. EARNSHAW, M.A., RAI.EICH. N. C. No two on earth ran ngree : all have some darUng singiilaritj . This man is notoiious for his original ideas in Biirsarology. He took the B.A. degree with the class ' 06. Since that time he has remained in the college as Bursar. He has completely revolutionized the whole system and had his office provided with a new set of furniture — roclting-chairs, etc. At present we ent ertain no hope of his ever resigning his present position.

As a Sophomore he was at his post of duty. Since that time he has served the college in the capacity of Hot Air Plant. He is a good student and is devoted to his life work. Being college property, he takes a ,g;ood many privi- leges. As a typical physician he will gain a reputa- tion by exchanging his Cathartic Mixtures for the grunts and groans of the rustics. Throughout the land his name will be lisped by the little children. 24 WILLIAM HAYWOOD FURMAN. B.S., FRANKLIN ' COVXTV, N. t. Though 1 avi young. I scorn to lit On the icings of borrowed wit.

Bill has a corner on the wit of his class. His clownish ideas, together with his ability as a medical st;ident. have insured him popularity among the boys. With only three years to his credit he emerges from the medical class with his surgical talent in his hand. He doesn ' t look delicate, yet he rooms in the In- tirmary. His motto is, Give all the statistics you can in society. He will become eminent for his skill- ful operations on dogs and cats. Wit. nerve, beauty I ? ) , and an accurate knowledge of medicine are his possessions. May the fates deal gently with him. WILLIAM RAY GRIFFIN. B.S., M. I!SHVII.I,t:.

Ray thinks he is a natural born doctor, but that dear school, experience, will teach him a different les- con: but. alas — fools will learn in no other. He will, after graduating in medicine, conduct a private sanitarium and hospital; also a cemetery for the final disposition of those who fall victims to his malignant practice. V. FITZHUGH HAMRICK.

Here we find a man of cool bearing and a dignified air. who consumes all his tim e in attending to his own business and never worries about that of other people. His career as a student has been quiet, never condescending to indulge in politics. Always a friend in time of trouble. He says he does not know what he is made for. but we believe he is destined to be- come a power in the finance of the world. WAITE CARLISLE HAMRICK. JR..

Sug is on the lips of every boy in school, and especially during ball season after he has pealed out a home-run or pa. sed a season without an error, as he did this last one. He is quiet but always pleasant; a boy of out-door sports and muscle. He succeeded in making the lazy (dub for two successive years, and we hope for him a restful future. THOMAS NORMAX HAYES. .M.A..

He served well at Wake Forest. Tou will hear of him in politics. TILLETTE HEXDRIX. B.A.. ADVANCE. X. C. Tell me a man is dishonest, and I icili ansicer he is no latcyer. Associate Editor Howler. ' 08: Licensed Lawyer. ' OS. Here ' s a scholar and a gentleman, a lawyer and a politician. Tillette is good-natured and unostentatious, and. as a student, is diligent and persistent. When in his room he is busy, and when seen on the campus he is in a hurry. Besides his B.A. degree he is al. o getting off work for the LL.B. this year, and after leaving the sacred v.-alls of his Alma Mater, we predict that he will re- flect honor upon the legal profession and credit upon himself.

He is a good speaker and really suited to h-s profes- sion. He is A chosen vessel to stir up the kingdom ot darkness. ■ His words will have reality and depth, because they will harmonize with his lite. He will occupy some city church, come timidly out. deliver his spiel and scurry quickly back icto his retiring room. He also has a Mania for fountain pens. Hear ye him: Verily, verily. I say unto you. the pen is mightier than the sword. T. LESTER JOHNSON. LL.B.. XIAKSHAIi. His bark than Inte: Licensed Lawyer. This man has the peculiar distinction of being the only Newish-Senior in the class. He is ostenta- tious, and apparently assuming, but. nevertheless, he possesses a strong intellect, and has the respect of the boys. At first he seemed a sort of Bluff. for he car- ried two guns in his pockets, and averred that ele- phants would be seen roosting in trees before his face should assume a nocturnal appearance; but one night when the Fates were against him. and the gods had forsaken him, he. with his wheels ungreased. ' fell victim to the Night-Hawk C vh No. 6. frum which time he has been a wiser and a better man. After leaving here he aims to practice law. and we feel assured that he will be successful. HUBERT A.

Hubert is quite popular with all the boys, and espe- cially with the Newish Math. Class this year; they all tip their hats to him and call him ' fessor. As tor personal pulchritude he doesn ' t show up much, but the way he sports is a caution. He is also getting oft work tor the LL.B. degree, and we predict that some day he will have a good law practice, and a large family. WILLIE JACKSON JONES, B.A.. G. TES COVXTY. X. C.

Historian of Junior Class; Chief Marslial Com- mencement, ' 117; Chairman Bible Study Committee Y. M. C. A,, ' 07; Assistant Political Science, ■07- ' 08; Senior Speaker. Justice, a well-rounded man of the western hills, has played well the role of a student. Although he claims a good part of the dignity of his class, yet at close inspection we discover that he borrowed it from Dr. Slkes. Firmness is the keynote of his future success, Centralization the embodiment of his ideal. His first office will be Justice of Peace, his second and last Chief Justice. He will aspire to be President i,t the United States. FAIRLEY D. KING. B.A., 11.1TTHEVVS, .N. C. And penius has electii e poiver Which earth can never tanie.

Be- sides doing his regular class work, he has also done a great amount of outside work, and has won quite a distinction as a minister. He is one of our best speakers, and we predict for him a flue record in his :-hosen profession. WILLIAM D. LITTLE. B.A.. MARSHVn-LE, X.

This little boy is another link in iho long chain of Union County graduates. By honest industry and noble effort he has in the three years oompleted the work for the B.A. degree, won a medal, and made for himself a host of friends who will never forget him. He. not knowing what his talent v as. prayed the fates to lift the curtain, and he Looked into the fu- ture as far as human eye could see and caught a vision of a young lawyer in that eternal struggle which ends with the survival of the fittest. BURGESS P. MARSHBANKS, B.A., MARS HILL. -. C. He Kas a scholar, and a ripe and good one; Exceeding irise, fair-spoken, and persuading. ' He is a typical mountaineer, long, lean, and lank; a friend that sticketh closer than a brother, and to know him you must study him. He is somewhat of a genius, stands at the head of his ilass and is execu- tive officer of the Hodnett Club. He is unassuming, and, till you get acquainted with him, seems inaffable. and unaffectionate; but to hear him rc]ate his portrait experiences is a romance. — yea, even a trodigy. After taking his B.A. he aims to study law, and we pre- dict that he will some day be a long sprout in the legal profession. GEORGE OCTAVIUS MARSHALL. B.A., ■7 shig.s. I icish it did. not sing.

Genial, fun-making, and noisy George aspired to membership of the take life easy c-lub. Surely he sot vvhat there was for him out of college life. Popu- lar with the boys, neutral as to the faculty, courteous lo the ladies, he decides to study law. But realizing that Law and Lo ic have the same origin, and after having tilled the position of Train Inspector for four years, he. from habit, heeds the call of the locomotive, and necessarily poses as a rail- road lawyer. His joys in college life were three. Post-otnce. drug store, and old oak tree. HILLIARD JOSHUA MASSEY. B.A.. 1 ' ir.nT, FItAXKUN COUNTY, N. C.

For five long years has he dwelt beneath these classic shades, heard the roar of the Sophomoric artil- lery, and hearkened to the tintinnabulation of the old college bell. These years have not been spent in idleness, but in hard work for the preparation of his chosen profession. His highest ambition is to become Principal of some High School, and we predict for him a successful career. JOHN R. McLENDON. LL.B.. k MATTHEWS, X. C.

Four years ago Mac. entered college with the present Senior class, but. being endowed with a pre- ponderance of gray matter in his cranium, he took the B.A. degree with the class of 07. After leaving college, and laboring under the delusion and blind phantasm that he was destined to enter the Category of the Pedagogues, he taught the yo-ing idea how to shoot during the past year. But he has decided to re- enlist in the class of ' 08 and take the LL.B. degree, after which he will enter the legal piotession, and we predict he will reflect honor upon the same.

Senior Class History ]- THE HISTORY of tlie Senior Class must hv written in a less particular way than we desire. Xut so niiicli as the dim l viht;lit of the historv of the individual members of the class can be known. In the first place, it is difficult because neither the men nor events will admit of any sort of orderly classification. In the second place the record of the class being siii gcjuvis, the historian has no other history by which to be guided in his writing. And the third difficulty is that the present history can not be more than a cross-section. We were drawn to this renowned institution four years ago, more or less, for the purpose, or rather in the hope of, filling our empty heads with that intangi- ble stuff called knowledge, which was so a|)]iarently disjilayed by the old students at that time. We knew nut whether it could be attained at any cost or whether it would be imixissible for us to leave college without our crauiums having been pierced and otir eucephalons completely saturated. We were uncouth, simple, ignorant lads then : now a noble array of most potent, grave and reverend seigniors. From the humble position of polished Freshmen we have climbed the steeps of honor in this community which few besides ourselves can ever hope to attain. ISut there were steps made as we marched along which entitled us to different names. Dur progress may be indicated by the mention of these names we successively bore. At one time we were known as the freshest Newish. The second vear we were called Soph., having avoided the title bully by the use of an antidote which we successfully obtained from the preceding class. Then luuing ])assed the contagious stage of Sophomorical wisdom, we reached that higher and loftier stage wdien you called us dandy Juniors. And now we hear on every side the dignified title lordly Seniors. We used to be afraid of everything and everybody at Wake Forest; but at the present time we do not even deign to look at lower classmen, all of wlmm show a remarkable evidence of homage and fear whenever passing us. Ami we are on most intimate terms cum factdtatc. Mv comrades, the e e of a historian can scarcely survey the long distance over which we have traveled in reaching our present |)lace of vantage, and the pen of a Thucydides is necessary to record ade(|uately the many battles, sieges and fortunes we have passed. Not all have been able to withstand the storm while passing through the changes of events. There are some who have been slain in battle, while others have fallen by the wayside. W ' e started out abnul one hundred strong, but our ranks have •Iwiudled down to half that uumlier. Doubtless many more would have died with overwork ami fatigue hail it ni t been for the little ponies which accompanied us on our journey, and on which a few members of our class rode over the roughest and steepest part of the road. Those of us who survived must have done the little things set before us. for progress was not made by a single bounil. but reached only by never-ceasing toil. The very mention of logic at one time struck terror to our hearts, but the bulldog tenacity and the increased stick- toity of our class rendered tlie logic more adhesive, so that it finally stuck, its principles were dissolved, its suggested thoughts digested, absorbed, taken up by the blood and through its chematoxx influence found lodgment in the gray matter. Dr. Taylor, in some mysterious wa . became aware of the unusual amount of logic in the heads of the class, and he will not likely require a final examination. There is no one word that may be used to characterize our Senior Class as a whole. We have to a large extent been run through the same mould, and yet are very different in features and caliber still, and I doubt if the w ' ord lordly. which all of us now bear, will accompany us through the rest of our lives. The shock of difference will gradually become so painful in going from one member of the class to another that we may expect our titles to change : and stooping to Cupid ' s yoke will probably also change our occupation just as it changes the environments. iHlSTORIAX.

Junior Class History IN WRITIXG such sketches as this it is generally tlie custnm for the class historian to take a running start at the beginning of tlie Xewish vcar and come on through the various stages to the present time. To follow this time-honored custom at present would require a book of a thousand pages and the genius of a Bancroft. To record the events in the career of the Junior Class of 1908, if adequate justice be done, is a task which can not be accomplished in a few months. So much the more true is this if we attempt to record its history beginning with its Xewish troubles. In our journey through the bogs of . ewishland, into the wisdom-soaked fields of Sophomoredom, and up to the hei.;hts which we now inhabit, our path has by no means been strewn with roses. Nor. on the other hand, has it been beset with difficulties which we could not surmount. We were all Newish once, but no one seeing us now would ever suspect it. But we were. And it is said to this day that ours was the greatest Freshman class in the history of the College. We sojourned for the space of a year in the land of Sophomoredom. We were none the less great even there. Few classes have made themselves felt as did the Sophomore Class of 1907. We were impressive personages in those days. For a wdiole year we gave our time and talent to molding and shaping the ideals, character, and complexion of countless worthy Newish. But in all our toils and struggles as Newish and Sophs, we were only preparing for tlie responsibilities and duties which have come to us as members of the Junior Class of 1908. There are soirie of our number who jumped over the wall into the class. They came not by the straight and narrow way. These have succeeded as well as could be expected. Of course the ' have found it up-hill work competing with those who have had the training of the journey behind them. Then, too, there are some among us who were left us as a legacy from the Junior Class of 1907. They were to have been Seniors, but decided not to. We have a tender regard for these and treat them kindl alwa ' s. We know from experience how sad it is to part with one ' s companions. We remember vividly with what grief we told our fellows good-bye a year ago — those wdio were not able to climb out of the fields of Sophomoredom. But last fall we began making history in earnest. We achieved our chief glory on the gridiron. The Junior football team is now a synonym for success in tlie ' Cnllege. . photograph of the team will appear in the Howler this spring. Invincible to the last, tliey never met defeat. With the yell from Collins, Kibs or victory! they sprang upon Newish and So|ihs.. who alike fell before tlieni as grass before the mower. With the dauntless Collins to the front, now hugging and kissing mother earth and now diving headlong into human mass, they swept like a cyclone across the field, leaving Sophomores in their wake. It was a sight for the gods. Old men looked on and yelled them- selves hoarse. It reminded them of the palmy days of old, the glories of long ago, when Wake Forest stood at the front in athletics among the Southern colleges. The Trustees heard of us right off and decided to let us play for the College next vear. Our fellows are alreadv preparing for a Southern trip ne.xt fall. The basketball craze ran high in the spring. We put out a strong team, but basketball is a feminine game and our men did not become interested. We win our victories on the gridiron and the diamond in the games for men. Xot only in athletics do the Juniors stand in the forefront. They are doing the work in the Society halls. In the preliminary for the inter-collegiate debate four of the seven speakers were Juniors, (jne of them was sent to . tlanta. We had the greatest .Anniversary- this year in the history of the College. The Junior debaters were the heroes of the occasion. The indomitable Collins captured the audience with his inimitable wit and eloquence, while White won the judges with his logical reasoning and impressive style. ' e are represented on the staff of the How ler. Indeed, in every phase of college life the Juniors are leading. Standing as the great middle class between Sophomoric egoism and Senior dignity, it is fitting that they be leaders in college spirit and college life in all departments. But the days are flying fast and our work will soon have been accomplished. - few more weeks and we will enter into the bliss of Senior rela.xation. satisfied with the past and hopeful of the future. Junior Class Poem I lift a trumpet to my mouth. Oh list! ye earthly friends. Now stop your work in North and South, And catch the news it sends. There is a school in U. S. A. Composed of brain and mass. The mightiest of this crowd, I say, Is called the Junior Class. We hire a faculty to teach All thing ' s that are worth knowing. We send out doctors, men to preach, And men to do tlie lawini;. In alldetics we lead them all. We know not what ' s defeat. We are the victors in football. No team will dare us meet.

Sophomore Class History SOATE great scientist was heard to say. History never repeats itself. Never have truer words escaped from the Hps of any man. for the history of the Class of Nineteen-ten is as different from the history of pervious Sophomore classes as the rising sun is from the setting sun. Xever in the history of the institution has there ever been a class as sophomoric and as full of individuality as the present one. On September the third the life of the present class began, when from the incoming trains crowds of fellows with big baggy trousers, sharp-pointed shoes, socks of red. green and yellow, and hats with the brims turned back, marched up to the Oaks, smilingly telling their experiences of the summer and planning for the days that were to come. Every one seemed glad to see the Sophomores, and the old college bell, unable to stand it any longer, pealed out a glad welcome. In a week or so the organization of the class took place, and for days before the meeting one might have seen certain fellows paying friendly calls, stopping their friends on the campus and pulling out cigars or heading for the drug store. No one knows the art of legging like the wily Soph. The first meeting of the class came, and with shouts of enthusiasm the boys met in the little chapel. After a great deal of mature deliberation the officers were elected and plans for the year were laid. Now. there are some privileges which, by right of custom, belong to the Sophomores alone — for instance, dancing, whistling, and blacking Freshmen, and, for several weeks following, the valuable time of the Sophs was taken up in enjoving these rights, much to the .sorrow and discomfort of the Newish. Later on a little incident happened which broke the monotony of studying and furnished some amusement for the Xight-Hawks. For the benefit of those unacquainted with Sophomores and their ways. I ' ll explain the word Night-Hawk. Since time immemorial it has been the duty of Sophomores, for the sake of uplifting societv and for other humanitarian reasons, to take out of Freshmen some of the greenness and freshness that all of them seem to possess on entering college. So. believing that after the system absorbed a bit of lamp-black, varnish, kerosene, furniture glue, shoe-polish, and other ingredients well mixed and properly applied, the freshness would leave with the black color that the mixture alwavs causes, the Sophomores instituted a society and called the members lllack Hawks. So the object of the organization is to benefit the Newish by teaching them how to be meek in their state of infancy. The evening to which I referred was the dark night on which the Freshmen had their meeting. It was well planned, and they deserve some credit for the courage they displayed in their infantile attempt. They met at the negro church about a mile from tlie campus armed to the teeth and overflowing with bravery. Thev had begun the election of officers, when some uncanny noises were heard, and realizing that Night-Hawks were hovering near, they scattered and began their long sprhit back to College Ditches, fences, trees and barns were easily jumped, uprooted and knocked down tor when a Newish feels that a blacking pot is not a great distance awav all things are possible with him. It is enough to say that the meeting resulted in a number of blackings and a pretty good scare for the bunch. Football came on in the fall, and the Class of Nineteen-ten. as everv one knows, put out by far the best team. The first game with the Seniors was ' easv and the game with the Juniors would have been still easier if the team hadn ' t lost several players. The Sophs, were defeated in one game of football, but let the word basketball be mentioned, and Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen turn pale. Every class went down m Ignominious defeat, and on top of that, just to prove that ' there was a team which knew how to handle the ball, the wearers of lilac and white walloped Littleton High School to the tune of 40 to 3, and then went up there and beat tnem. (_)ut of SIX games played, only one was lost, and if the Faculty ' s pemiission could have been secured the team would have gone on a Northern ' trip In conclusion, the Historian would like to sav, and he believes that the 1- acuity and student body will agree with him. that the present Sophomore Class IS a model one in every respect. They can ' t be outdone in anything— in mixing blacking, making H S paintiii - signs, whistling Freshmen, playing basketball, or in anv undertaking where brams and enthusiasm are needed. HlSTORI. N.

OX the second day of tlie nintli month, in the year nineteen hundred and seven, about one hundred and twenty handsome young men arrived at the city of Wake Forest and marched up the walks to the President ' s office and enrolled themselves as students of Wake Forest College. They were all handsome fellows, I said ; and especially Newton. But when he walked up Faculty Avenue a cow which was grazing by the wayside began to follow him. Why the old cow did this I don ' t know, but cows are said to be very fond of i ' ' Vt ' ( things. The first night in College was accompanied by a very queer sensation peculiar to new men. That night we all found a place to sleep, or lie down at least, for I don ' t think Seniors could have slept, much less a Freshman, with all the fuss which the Sophomores kept up. But about twelve o ' clock all those noisy fellows came around and paid us a visit of welcome. Some of us were called on for speeches, others for songs, and others for dances, to which most of us readily responded. fUit to those who were too bashful to do the stunts for the Sophs, was promised another visit of a little diflferent nature. Edwards was the first one called on after this, and his complexion was changed so that his best girl would not have recognized him. In about two weeks after our arrival we had all learned to keep to the Freshman March, all except Big Duolin. the un-reconstructed, wdio will never learn. Dr. Poteat announced one morning that there would be a meeting of the Sophomore Class after dinner. This w-as our time ; so we passed the word around that we. too. would meet after dimier. but in a place as far from the Sophs, as possible. But. Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these, — it might have been. We were discovered before we could get together, and the cry Newish meeting went up on all hands. Of course the Sophs, dropped everything and rushed in on us. This broke us up, and the dance was called for. It was lucky for us that Wheeler was there, for he peeled ofT his coat and danced enough for all of us. He put up a good job even if he was a preacher. That very night we got it on them in the proper style. Fletcher and Julius Caesar Smith arranged a meeting at 8:00 o ' clock that night down at the old negro church. We had to slip out on the quiet, as it was against the rules of the Sophs, for Newish to be out at night. Uut vc had a pretty good crowd, anyhow — for a few minutes, at least. But again there was a leak, and before we could get right the Sophs, on the hill sent up a war-whoop, and the ground seemed to open up and swallow the Freshmen and it was a good while before you could find one. By-the-way, Smith, J. C, who was going to run for A ' ice- President, made the run of his life that night, but it happened to be in the wrong way, for the Sophomores got him, and his comple.xion was also changed. Xelson took his second dose that night, too. We had our meeting anyhow, and it will never be forgotten by any of us. The officers were didy elected, and we adjourned after giving the enemy a salute with our American Bull-Dogs. We were about two weeks ahead of the Sophomores, after all. Wall went down one night to try for the Orchestra, but one time was enough for him. For when he started back some one got in his way and ' all thought the jig was up. But he managed to level his gun. and the person dropped on the ground. Then Wall hit it for home. On being asked what was the matter. Wall said, I liked to killed a man. but 1 ' belt ' my nerve. We have never learned exactly how Sophnnicire Kitcliin came to be blacked this year. There came a time when every Freshman was Johnny on the Spot. It was when we had our beauty struck. It was a job. for those pesky Sophs, had us going. We cussed the oaks that bore the acorns, and wished that the water was dry. But finally they let up, and aUliough we were a little wet it was a good picture. Who said we didn ' t play football? But for a little hard luck we would have had the pleasure i i trimming the Sophomores instead of the Juniors. Murchison, Flighsmith, Hardy and Doolin all put up a fine game. In basketball we also made a tine show. Willis, White, R., White, H., Sawver and Highsmith played star ball. While Bell, Wheeler and Reddy Sawyer held down the sub bench in great style. Had it not been for a hitch some- where on the part of the time-keeper, there is no doubt that our team would have been partakers of Mrs. Dixon ' s oyster supper instead of tlie Sophomores. .■ nniversarv — oh, joy ! But didn ' t we have a time ? B. U. W. was here in full force, from Dr. ' ann up. On the whole, the Class of Xaughty- ' leven is something the College should be proud of. We are represented on the Glee Club by O ' Brien, Jake Hardy, Cheek, Buchanan and Carlyle. Johnson, Turner, Gardner, Whitener and Bill Bailev, of our class, received their law license in February. Temple, Hammond and Dawson will be found on the baseball team, and going a little farther, you will find us represented in the North Carolina Senate by Tillett. As we find we have no particular use for Murchison, Gardner, Blanchard and Moore, we throw them out for the Sophomores and Juniors to squabble over. For further information regarding the Class of ujii, we refer you to the Newish of 1912. Historian. Freshman Class Poem Old Father time from long repose Had ope ' d his eyes, and scratc ' ed his nose. Had slept for ninety days or more. As some old codger did of yore. He saw by chance when looking down, The old Man thinks on this awhile ; That things were dull about this town : t His aged face displays no smile. 1 No lively son to lead the dance, There seemed to be some pressing need, No agile youth with upturned pants. ttut could he, would he do the deed? Now he was getting old and grey. Had more than once at break of day Been guyed by stealthy Sophomores Intent on doing needless chores. And this is why it came about They ' re gleaned from Georgia to Kentuck, That he a fine old scheme hatched out : All solid fellows, not a shuck ; To put upon AVake Forest ' s gieen Bright, handsome, ladies ' choice, The finest class she ' s ever seen. Can make the Faculty rejoice. We were received in wonderment As if we from the skies were sent. Our moves and acts were watched full well ; That one escaped I can not tell It seemed that they were jealous too. We do not mind them very much Would envy Freshmen oyster stew, ' Tis plain they are not used to such hen we a simple banquet laid We simply go our ways in peace It stirred them up like Sherman ' s raid. And have at times a Newish feast. Freshman Class Prophecy SUCH Newishes have never before been gazed upon by eager Sophomores as this Newish Class of ' i i. Sporty, handsome, intelligent, bold, courageous in all things, at all times, doesn ' t half express it — that is, paregorically speaking ' from a Newish standpoint. The truth of the matter is, we have made a hit from start to finish. Nor is this our last hit, either : but come and take a peep with me while I stand here with mine eyes shielded with automobile goggles, looking into the dark and oncertain future. I tell you I can see great things and marvelous things. There stands Edgar Wrenn before a jury, pouring forth argument and oratory — calm, convincing, and yet as melodious as the notes of a mocking-bird, and at the same time hurling darts of sarcasm at his opponent. Royal White, TUanton, and Brown are also hanging around the railing, patiently waiting their turns to display some of their silver-tongued power. Big Dooling interrupts now and then to inform the gentlemen what is and what isn ' t law. Up at our capital sits Tillett, with his hand firmly grasping the helm as he directs our old Ship of State on to safe and unruffled waters of peace and prosperity. Now the scene changes and I see Foreman as he gracefully seizes the baseball and drives it home, and Reddy Edwards standing behind the plate as fearless as Hercules himself, while Huntley is (Uie nf the fastest fielders of the season. Old Bill Moore — you all remember the night that dirty blacking crew tried to smut his smiling countenance? — well, on that very niglit he broke all previous records for a hundred-yard dash. Perhaps he never has, and very probably never will, make it in so short a time again. There stands Julius C. Smith in all his majesty, officiating in the capacity of gymnasium instructor, and doing such stunts as nobody ever hearn tell of. Another curtain gradually ascends, and there sits Green, Winston. Whitehurst and Wall, completely absorbed in the realms of science. Green working all night trying to preserve some moon-beams that he may establish their composition; Winston bent on determining the composition of the sun ; and Whitehurst endeavoring to show that a man ' s stomach is composed of one-third of one per cent of gastric juice; while Wall endeavors to preserve hydrofluoric acid in ivory bottles. Again our panorama changes, and over in some secluded spot sits D. F. Smith, .sketchine the snappiest cartoons of his time. As I gaze out across the barren waste I see Norton pulling the bell-cord over an old gray flop-eared mewl, — them kind what don ' t never die. Here moves Jones in his sphere of journalism, carrying his party by the mighty power of his pen. As the next scene presents itself, everything seems serene and beautiful. Old Sol has hidden his face behind a stray cloud, and nature seems to have bathed her face in pure nectar. Why ? Little Buchanan is beginning to fondle the ivory kevs. His audience, with nerves screwed down as tight as banjo strings and ears tuned to their highest pitch, gradually slip from their seats. Then Bowman, excelled onlv bv Orpheus when it comes down to grooming a cornet, begins to blow some of his hot air. Even the Muses bow at his will, and lions come and crouch beside him. Oh, what a bright future awaits this Newish class. Law Class Officers O. J. SiKES President. T. X. Haves ' ice-Prcsident. L. VV. Legcett Secretary. D. G. Bland Treasurer. F. T. Coi.Lixs Historian.

AToTTO : Be ve learned in the Laiv. - 5 !  Law Class History ir THERE is nothing difficult in writing; tlic history of the Law Class of ' 07 and ' 08; for the material is galore. Its just a matter of selecting which of the many epoch-making events shall be written here. History is one thing we have made. Not a day has passed without a tragedy, not a night with- out its woes, nor an exam, that was not big with the fate of our race. In fact, history is about all we have maile ; more history than progress. And why not ? That ' s our business here. We will make progress when we hit the world. First, the personnel of the class. We all look good. Nobody questions that, of course. Therefore I will not dwell. There are more than a hundred of us, representing every kindred, tribe and tongue, coming up from every quarter of the habitable globe. No wonder that the world hangs breathless on our fate. We are cosmopolitan in thought, and have embraced all the late philosophies of life. Among which are : Make haste slowly, Follow the lines of least resistance in all thiiii s, Take life cas), am! postpone till tD-niorrow all that you can, with all the evils thereof, fur should lo-morrow fail to turn up, you are that much in. Sleep much, for that covers a multitude of — time. Do your fellow ere he does you, and I ' ut up a bold front and keep it up — and if, by any manner of means, it be knocked down, put it up again. And we adopted early, under the leadership of our peerless President, Sikes, certain rides of conduct and socialistic codes of procedure. Among which were : Sit close together on exams. And, remembering that He that would have equity must do equity, give to him that asketh and grudge not, for the time Cometh when you too may want what he hath, that you have not. Do not for yourself that which Professor GuUey can do for you. Make law a profession regardless of the possession of it. Make it a means to an end, and not the end of your means. Realizing that the world about us is organized and controlled by combines and trusts, we went into the business, too. And formed a monopoly on forensic oratory, and the law itself. So successful were we in the former, that for some time we have controlled the supply absolutely, and now fix the prices of same. Both Societies are so completely at the mercv of our oratorical monopoly that they are oflfering rebates of even 100 per cent to our largest shippers. For vvitliout siicli. the moot court would put theui out of business. The law market, however, tluctuate. at times on account of the old laws of supply and demand. For instance, at exams. Professor Gullev ludls the market and in spite of our bears the supply at once becomes inadequate to the demand, and slocks run up as high as 200 and even 300. Then in less than an hour our bears get control, the market slumps and those same stocks sell as low as 22 1-2. However, we have kept control of the Supreme Court market. And we only furnished it with just the number it absolutely needed. We gave it twenty men in February, and they all went through in a walk. We could all have gone up, but we did not want to glut the market lest the August crop sell at a low price. Hut all hail, to that great twenty who passed the court! Great honors await you! The world is yours. Take it. All honor to Professor Gulley, the Moses of our class, the sacred pillar of fire leading the whole profession, the shadow of a great rock in a weary land, our refuge and shelter in time of storm. So hopeful are we that we would turn our face to the future, not to speculate, but to prophesy. Staniljii; on the acropolis of our enviable career and looking down the streaked tail of time. we are filled with those immortal lines of Tennyson: ■• For I dipt mto the future, far as human eye can see. Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be; Saw with joy our whole class working, bringing mighty things to pass In the court-house, in the forum, from Pan-handle to Alask ' ; ' Till vice and crime were rife no longer, and the laws were sttict upheld By our lawyers and our judges and our presidents as well. There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe, And the kindly earth shall slumber, wrapt in universal law. Historian.

Medical Class History OUK CLASS, though small in number, still has a brilliant history. At a meeting of this far-famed and illustrious class, the duty to portray to our generous readers some of the daring exploits of the knife was enjoined upon me; though I feel my great inability to perform that pleasant task, still I shall endeavor with all my power to paint some of the scenes of our daring. On the 3d of September, 1907, twelve of us began to wander into unknown land, care- fully playing with the framework of the dead. In about two days one of our number fell into the Foramen Magnum in the first thoracic vertebra, and has not been seen since. In about a month more we had the misfortune to lose another faithful follower in the Hypophyseal Fossa of the Sphenoid bone; we wept long and wore much crape, but like the first he was lost forever. The remaining ones so skillfully handled the bones that on the 26th of October every one of us could tell Dr. Gaines anything he wanted to know about the framework of this great house in which we live. Some of us even made him wise { ' !) by telling him the seventh rib was atypical. On the 23d of October, when some of us for the first time entered the dissecting-room, we found our forces greatly increased by the veterans who had successfully fought the battles of the past year; our recruits numbered about six, so with this little band we marched steadily forward, prepared to fight any foe. But about the middle of November another of our faithful followers stumbled in the Axillary Fossa, and Dr. Gaines took him by tlie liand and led him from the ranks, gently bidding him to wait till next year. At the same time Dr. Rankin had a small regiment across the hall chasing a Spirillum Cholera; Asiatinv across a cover slide: but the greatest height in the medical science was reached when Messrs. Phifer and Bazemore discovered that Streptococt-us Pyngtmes would liquefy in gelatin (?). From now till Christmas nothing of importance happened, and each day we had the same task before us, nothing breaking the monotony save at times Follow your Barker would come from Dr. Gaines, and an occasional Don ' t you see? would be heard from Dr. Rankin. Just before Christmas Mr. Geiger informed Dr. Gaines that he could not find where the Os-o-pS-gus (oesophagus) entered the stomach; and also Mr. Butler wanted to know where the common carotid artery bifurieated { bifurcated ) : while ilr. Phifer wished to see the larnix (larynx). So Dr. Gaines, being well posted on these facts, pioceeded to lead us safely over the paths of danger. At Christmas every one of us save two — one in Histology and one in Bacteriology — easily sailed with flying colors over the sea of examinations and landed safely on the other side. After Christmas all of us who landed safely on the banks of the Xew Vear, came back with greater ideals and renewed energy: but Santa Claus had not bfen kind to us and did not bring a single present. Yet we did not feel slighted, for it was the quali ty that we had and we were sure he could not fintl that equal to ours anywhere. To prove that quality is the leading factor of our class. Dr. Gaines had to take Mr. Furman. one of our own men, to help him answer in sesquipedalian terms some of our erudite questions. And Dr. Rankin also had to select Mr. Patterson, another one of our men, to keep him straight with the microscopes. Xow some of us encountered for the first time that dreaded Pathology; yet like men we leaped into the tide and battled bravely with the waves, each one swimming with a steady but sure stroke. Finally Dr. Rankin informed us that he would give a quiz: how we longed for the time to see the questions go up on the board, yet to our great amazement he had overleaped the bounds of both notes and text-book and asked a question fiom his own imagi- nation; then all of us saw our sudden doom. After the race we loolej around and only three had survived the storm: the others were pileously calling for mercy at the hands of the grader. We are all acquainted with the struggle and untiring efl ' oits thai were manifested by Hercules to drag the three-headed watch-dog of Hade? — Cerberus — to eurth: yet that is only a trifle as compared with the skill and toil that it takes to drag the nervous system to the welcome grade of T-J. While when this great class was put to studying the complex telegraphic system of our bodies it seemed like walking into already conquered territory. But when we crossed the hall into the Physiology room, and in there found that if cur B be applied to the zygomatic ramus of the facial iivrve. to our great amazement, the caput inpaorbitale muscularis quadratus labi superloris would cease to contract; and ever afterwards wc were afraid to even look at that terrible di-ug, fearing that it would also have the property of being air-borne and likewise paralyze the oculomotor trochlear and abducens of our own selves. If we do not all die of tetanus, produced by trying to pronounce some small medical terra, and not caused by toxin set free by the bacilli themselves, we shall all in the near future be scattered throughout the universe, each one in a difi ' erent place. And the sound of the hammer in the undertaker ' s shop, in the immediate surroundings of each, will be more marked than ever before. Let that be as it may, and notwithstanding the fact that our skulls are unusually thick and it is almost impossible to make us understand anything, still with the masterful teaching of our beloved Professors — Drs. Gaines and Rankin — we shall soon be the cynosure of the medical profession. Historian. The Four Winds Freshman ' licn Freshman year presents him fresh, ' Tis then lie ' s all in all.

The . thletic - ssociation is one of the important organizations of the College. Its aim is to foster athletics ; that is, to build up and mainain college spirit, to put out a winning team in football, baseball, basketball and tennis, and to stand by and support these teams loyall_ ' and enthusiastically, whether in victory or defeat. The Association has taken its place as a permanent organization, and ofifers the privilege of membership to all students. Every member has a vital interest in all phases of athletics, and what is more, he has a share in every victory won by the teams. This is of no little importance to the individual student and to the College, since only in this way can there be maintained satisfactorily that indefina- ble, yet all-important something, called college spirit. itcliers.

Duffy, ) Basketball BASKRTPiAT.L, a comparatively new j;ainc among our Southern colleges, has for the last few years grown and spread like wildfire across the Western prairies, until now it is recognized as a national game played dtn ' ing the cold and snowy mouths of winter. Daily exercise is essential to a man ' s growth, especially to a college student, who is liahle to sacrifice his body for the development of his mind. Taking this as true, every college should have a series of games that extends throughout the year; football in the autunni. basketball in winter, and baseball in the spring, leaving the summer in which each stmlent should occupy his time with some out- door work, filling his lungs with fresh air and tanning his skin with the rays of the health-preserving sun. When we come to speak of basketball at W. F. C. we have only to refer you to the record of the la.st two seasons, whicli tells its own story. We have not been defeated by any State school or college this or last season, which gives us the inter-collegiate State championship. hi a Southern trip of this season our boys were defeated in only three games, and two of tliem were by S ' . M. C. . . profes- sional players. Sickness among some of our best men made us weaker than we otherwdse would have been. ( )ur efficiency in this game was shown in the class contests, which were so exciting and interesting and aroused more class spirit than was ever before expressed by the student bodw Our Sojihomore Class team, that was victorious over the other classes, went abroad seeking wdiom they might devour, and, Littleton having crossed their path, they returneil with the laurels of an unbroken record.

FOOTBALL IN LM-ANCY. Football THE TRUSTEES of Wake F. rc ' t C .liege liave voted that Wake Forest shall attain train a team tor tlie jj ridimn. We oflfer those gentlemen our sincerest thanks — those men whose only aim is to do what is rijjht f ' Wake Forest and her student hody. The fellows are glorifying in that fact. A new vigor has awakened in them; college spirit, that indescribable quality, has Bashed forth anew. They are proud of their institution, for now her athletes may enter any contest whatsoever, whether it be basketball, tennis, track, baseball, or football. With these. Wake Forest men can make her name the synonym of victory in the athletic world as her men make her name the watchword, ' ictory, in the oratorical and debating world. She has the men — the opportunity has presented itself — men who will make as good athletes in football as can he found in any other institution. Fellows, the night has passed and the day has dawned ! ( )ld Wake Forest shall again resume her place in the sphere of athletics among the colleges of the South, among those colleges whose watchword is Progress ! No college can hope to furn out men who will be able to meet the re(|uirenients of the world ' s need — and the need is iiicii — unless it educates them physically as well as mentallv. And to educate a man physically, he nuist be given the oppor- tunity. Wake Forest has stepped to the front as a champion of this fact — all that was desired was football. Football, the greatest of all sports; football, a game in which men count; football, a battle of the gridiron, where, as on a field of battle nr in life ' s struggle. man meets man. and where again the old truth is written ujion the records, the survival of the fittest. This year, nineteen hundred and eight, the time looked for and hopeil for has opened a new era for Wake Forest College, for her loyal alumni, and for her student body ! ■S. f The Awakening of a Soul I. THE snow had been falling for two hours that January day when Alma and Hector started back to the little college town some six miles awa -. where Hector was then in his Senior year. They had been to visit Alma ' s grand- mother out home, as she always said. The old grandmother would not let them leave until she wss satisfied with the preparations for the trip. She had the storm- curtains put up. hot bricks put to their feet, and then they were securelv tucked in by a heavy robe. There was no wind tliat afternoon, and the large flakes seemed to fall in sheets. The whole heavens appeared to be dissolving into snow. So thick it was that the way ahead was darkened. The horizon seemed to be closing in around them, and soon darkness fell. Their conversation began now to drift on and on in an aimless way. and was broken ever and anon by long periods of silence. But all the while Hector was thinking, thinking ! thinking ! ! Alma had asked him where he was going when he left college. He didn ' t know. She had asked him what he intended to do. He didn ' t know. He seemed to be sure of but one thing, and that was that he was madly in love with Alma. ' ery bluntly he began to tell her so, as he had so often been on the point of doing before. But he felt so little in her presence that the whole thing became a tangle to him, and he stuttered and stumbled and finally stopped, feeling how utterly ridiculous he had made himself. Xo woman had ever made him feel so little and none had ever seemed so far above him as Alma had that day. As he left her that evening he was conscious of but one thing. That one thing was very plain, that she had no confidence whatever in his fidelity. 1 f he loved her he must prove it. H. . nniversary Day was bright and sunshiny. At the appointed time the audi- torium was full of eloquence and girls. Hector was charmed. The speakers thrilled the audience, by making matchless appeals to their sympathy, and bushels of logic were poured down on them whether or no. But b ' and by he forgot the speakers, the eloquence, the logic, everything — except that by his side sat a queen, verily, a Soutliern queen in all those words mean. He felt cramped in that big hall. How he wished to be far from the maddening crowd. Finally they began that all but ceaseless wandering from hall to hall, until tired and wear)- they stood at Alma ' s door. She simply held out her hand, saying. Hector, I have enjoyed everv nnnute nf tlic day. I believe now 1 can Iniht yon. and 1 will — and she- was gone. I ' lUt that was enough. The Imw in llu- clnud had C(inK- and he was happy. The next ninrning they went for a walk. Every one seemed happy, for the sun wa shining like springtime, birds were- singing, and love was in the air. Feir some lime the had not spoken, lint walked on in silence. Finally .Mnia said. Hector, why don ' t ciu try to win the hiinor of being the speaker from your Societv in the Intercollegiate Debate. I wi.nlil lie mj proud of you, if fU would. I had thought of doing so, but that seems now almost impossible. 1 won ' .il have to defeat Milton Jones, a man with a record back of him. having been both orator and debater, and here that is half the battle. You can defeat him if you will. firmly declared . lnia. . r.d if ou love me you will. That .shall be the test. Then let that be the test, and I will prove my love to ou. Hector answered, and a light sparkled in his eyes that she had never seen there before. HI. The davs came and went, and their fli.ght was hardly noticed by Hector and Milton. Tliev had entered into the contest with their whole souls. .Milton was the only one Hector dreaded in the preliminary. He felt confident that he could defeat the others, but to down Milton Jones he would have to fight the battle of his life. This he intended to do. . !ma ' s words were to him what the shout is to the racer. The early morning hours would aUvaxs h-d his lam|i liurning. and him studying and writing, writing and .studying ever on bis .s]ieech. I ' .ut one night it was done, and uu this night there happened something that was lestned to change the whole current of his life. He was tired, dreadfully tired, and walking out on the campus his attention was attracted bv a noise in his Society hall, lie drew near ami listened. It was Milton speaking. He was filled with a wikl desire to bear that speech that meant his vicL.rv or defeat. His conception of right and lair play was blurred. He lost control of himself and something in him stronger than himself nupelled him on, and now he was listening, (hie point after another he jotted down, until finally it was over, and he noiselessly slipped away. 110 That night he began to write anew. - Milton ' s speech had opened his eyes. He saw a side of the question tliat had never dawned on him before. He recast his whole speech, answering every point Milton made. Never did he have a clearer mind, never did his pen fly so swiftly. His power of conciseness was amazing even to himself. In just two days it was done. That speech was a .solid block of argument. Not a sentence could be left out. It was unanswerable. The next evening he went to see Alma and read it to her. Wlien he had fin-slied she said, Hector, you ' ve won. Let me congratulate you beforehand. He took the outstretched hand and feelingly answere l, - lma, m ' love for (iu liclpeil me do it. You being the prize wmild make me undertake any task. Foul or fair, 1 nuist win. Foul or fair! What do you mean? Hector, you have not received help on that speech, have you? It is your ' s, isn ' t it? Yes, it is mine. I have received no aiil. except T heard part of Milton ' s speech in ]iassing. He was blabbing it out in the Society hall, and what I did is no more than any one would have done. Have you changed your speech since you heard his? Yes. Hector, if you deliver that speech you are not honest. I would be ashamed of you if you did. You would brand yourself a thief. ■ ' Well, if that is all you have to say to me I will leave. Good-night. Alma sat long in her room thinking that night. I know, she argued to herself, that I was rather hard on him, but it is a question of honor, and I was prob ' ng for bis conscience. I can not believe that he will deliver that speech. I do hope my words will stir the manhood in him to an awakening. Rut if not, then I would be afraid to trust him with my love, and she fell across her bed weeping, IV. The much-looked-for night of the preliminary came at last. The student body was wild with interest. On each side there were admirers who were confi- dent that their favorite would be victorious. Several minor ones had spoken, and now Hector had be gun. He had perfect control of himself and on and on be swept the audience with him. Now they were leaning forward in their seats, trying to catch every word. This was true of all except one lone figure in the rear of the house, hid from his sight. She was suffering. Hector was delivering that stolen speech. The one she had loved and trusted was dishonest. Impos- sible ! She could not believe her own ears. But there he is speaking. Now he is through. As he sat down a sigh arose from the audience, telling him that his speech had gone liome. Then it liroke into wild applause. The next speaker was Alilton. As he arose agony and defeat was written all over his face. This is all he said. Mr. President. I am fullv satisfied for niv opponent to represent my Society in the dehate after hearing that speech. So I will not enter the contest. As he sat down a groan was heard in the rear of the building. .Mma had fainted. It was rather late when she recovered, but slie asked for Hector. When he entered the nidm. he walked to the bedside and bent over to kiss her. Xii! no! she cried. Vour unclean lips shall never touch mine. Vou are dishone t. du are a moral leper, and if ynn have a particle of manhood left in you. you will resign. But Alma— o, i)u need nut try to explain. I will not listen. And as she ; there looking at him all the love of her soul turned to ashes in her breast. In a miMUenl when she had recovered lireath she said. Hector, by your action to-night ou ha ' e roblied me of hajiiiiness and love, and yourself of the truest wife this world holds. 1 probed for your conscience the other la , and I found it dead; I appealed to your honesty and love for fair play, and ! found it gone. I loved vou, but I have discovered that you are not worth it. Now vou may go. .And she turned her face to the wall and began to weep. That night Hector could not sleep. Her words at first angered him, but r.ow thev stung him to the heart. He was miserable. The next day he ate nothing. The following night he was carried to the Infirmary. The doctor said. A nervous breakdown. During his semi-opiate sleep that night he cried. I ilidn ' t mean to be dishonest, God knows I didn ' t. Then again, ■ ' ( ) C.od, I wronged Milton. The next morning he was (|uieler and asked for Milton Jones. When he came ' Hector confessed the whole ])iece of theft and the agony on his face while doing so was pitiful. . t last he said. -Milton. I ' m going to resign, and I want you to take the place. I ' ll confess the whole thing. I can ' t stand this torture any longer. Xo, that will not do. firml answered Milton. Vou will represent the Society better than I can, and I am willing to forgive the wrong you have done me, and say nothing al o n it upon this condition that, for the sake of the Society, you do not resign. I see, too, vou have suffered enough. But I must resign. I can ' t bear it. ' o. said Milton. I will forgive you if you do not resign. Well, let it be as you say. then. Thank you. Milton. God knows I love you and didn ' t mean to do you wrong. X. The whole college — faculty, students, and even the janitor — were assembled at the depot to meet the train that was bringing home the victors. They had a hard fight, but they won the greaest victory in the history of the college. The speakers were placed in a carriage, covered in the college colors, and drawn by loving hands. Behind the carriage marched the faculty and a half-mile of stu- dents, divided in classes and each carrying their banner. It was a glorious scene. Indeed, a tritmiphal entry. Xever was Cssar received into Rome with greater gladness than marked this occasion. They marched to the college auditorium, where were heard songs, yells and welcome speeches galore. By and by there was a wild shout for Hector to speak. As he arose the look on his face caused a deathly sdence to fall upon the crowd. This scene. he began. has touched my heart. But I can not trust myself to speak more than to make a confession. Then in a few words he told the whole story of his dishonesty and how he tried to resign and Milton would not let him : and not only that, but Milton had forgiven the wrong. And then he himself for the sake of his Society had gone on with the debate when his soul was sufTering all the tortures of hell. Then pointing toward Milton he said. He is the biggest man in this State. His speech won this debate. Give him the honor. I deserve nothing but your contempt. Turning to the audience again his eyes fell upon Alma and tears were stream- ing down her cheeks. All the pathos of his soul was in his words as he cried. I crave your forgiveness. I sinned only when the star of ambition lured me too far. Forgive me. and I shall be happy. As he sat down there was not a dry eye in the house. Three hundred boys w ere around him in an instant shaking his hands, and he knew he was forgivcTi. By and by Alma worked her way through the crowd and offered him her hand, saying. I am so glad, Hector. You are a man, after all. Sophomores ' Annual Advice Devoted to the interests of the Freshman Class: 1. Don ' t butt in! 2.

A Medal for a Maid BY WESTLAKE OX a (lull, cold afternoon in February. Hni h Mortimer sat by tbe open fire- place gazing absent-mindedly into tbe coals. He bad just finished dinner, and strolled around to the club-bouse in quest of amusement ; but found that all the fellows had gone skating. This particular exercise did not appeal to Hugh, consequently be decided to await further developments. Presently bis gaze met the calendar on tbe opposite wall, which gave silent testimony to tbe fact that tbe next quiz on Biology was onlv two days off. Xow. wouldn ' t that jar you. though, he muttered; and I haven ' t .seen a note-book in three weeks! Wonder if there ' s one to be had hereabouts? I ' ll warrant Skinny Green ' s is lying around somewhere. After some search he discovered that object on tbe window-sill. Mortimer opened it and glanced idly over tbe pages. Spirogyra — I ' ve done him; amoeba, nitella, vaucberia — who ' s be? Geuss I ' d better investigate that individual further. I ' ve a faint recollection that I didn ' t find it convenient to go on lab that afternoon. He perused tbe notes, making comments sotto voce. ■ Found in streams ; moss, ' etc. Wonder if tbe thing ' s a plant or an animal ? Just like Skinny not to say ; likely as not he didn ' t know. ' Is not divided into cells ' — Good for it! First thing I ' ve struck yet that wasn ' t. ' Has long hairs, called rhizoids. ' — Xow how in the name of Xed should I know wdiat they are? Skinny ' s got a drawing here of something that appears to be a cross between a green snake and an asparagus plant. He says they are hairs, though, so I suppose it must be an animal. ' Has antberidium and oogonium, contains chlorophyll. ' — One might suppose he was describing a mermaid, only I never heard of their having any such things as he mentions here. ' There is no scplcin between. ' — Confound Skinny for a blooming idiot! Here he ' s spelled it like Latin! Well, this is just so riiuch wasted time. And he tossed the book over in tbe corner, . fter gazing resentfully at it for some minutes, be decided that be didn ' t care to study, anywa} ' , and walked over to tbe hearth. Drawing up a big arm-chair, be was soon lulled into reverie b ' the firelight ' s fitful fancies. It can not be said that Hugh Mortimer was in a very amiable frame of mind. This was his last year in college, yet he had accomplished almost nothing. There was in him a spirit of unrest and dissatisfaction — a longing for something worth while. . day or two previous he had been called before the Faculty for being behind in his stvidies, and it was only the intervention of the kindly old Professor of English which had restrained the Dean from writing- to his father. Professor Harwell liked Mnrtinu-r. for he cnnid write the best bit of compo- sition in his class. The day before lie had called him np at the close of the recitation. Mortimer, he said, looking over the s nld rims nf his spectacles. I want } ' 0u to do me a favor ; will you ? If I can. Professor, he replied slowly. You can if you will. It is this, ■(lu know the contest for the Hastings medal begins soon, and I want you to win it. u have the ability if you are only willing to work. What do you say? Hugh looked at the old man in astonishment. The Hastings medal was given to the student who should submit the best essay upon some original line of investigation. Hugh would have as soim thought nf running for President as of winning the Hastings medal. ' ' I — T couldn ' t do it. Professor, he stammered. It ' s beyond me. Xow I think I know more about your ability than you do. It will be the best thing in the world for you. Are you willing to try it? Hugh hesitated before replying, I ' ll have to think about it, sir, he said. You know I ' m behind in my work. Well, think it over and let me know. If iin |inimise to do your best on it, I ' ll see that the Faculty doesn ' t bother you. And now, as he watched the embers burst into flame and then slowly sink beneath ' the pale gray ash, he pondered over the old man ' s suggestion. It was well-nigh impossible for him to win, of course; in his present mood he did not feel capable of anything. Something was the matter, he hardly knew what. P ut if he should win — what would people say? What would Dot sa ' ? .Mi. Dot — as the vision of the blue-eyed, fair-haired girl crossed his mind, all thoughts of the contest went with the smoke up the chimney. Dot was his fourth cousin. Ever since they were children toeether he had fairh ' worshiped her, and she had always professed to be fond of him. Many a time he had said, half in jest, half in earnest. Dot, if you weren ' t my cousin I ' d be in love with vou — which she always turned aside with some trivial remark. Since she had gone off to school. li(iwe er, Dot had seemed to care less and less for him. until now her letters had almost ceased coming. Hush thought of the last one, which had closed in a verv perfunctory manner — Yours. Dot. Once she had even signed her name. Dorothy Eloise Maitland : and he had waited resolutely two weeks before answering. Yes. Dot was in love, and with some one else. Pie knew the fellow : it was Carter, the big, broad-shouldered captain of the football team, whose dark eyes had set her crazy. And Carter wrote stories in the college magazine — The thought caused him to sit up suddenly. Carter — isn ' t he going to write for the medal ? Yes, I heard liini tell Green so. I could beat anybody else, and by all that ' s holy, I ' ll beat him. or die in the attempt, just to show Dot ! The next morning Mortimer went uj) to Professor Harwell, selected his subject and entered for the contest. During the ensuing weeks Hugh Mortimer was seldom seen roaming over the can-pus or sitting about the club. He studied merely enough to keep up with his classes, spending most of his spare time in the reading-room. Several times he went to consult the library in the neighboring town where Dot was in school, but he saw nothing of her, except once when he met her on the street. Then he spoke onl - a few words and passed on : but deep down in his heart the resolve to win was stronger than ever. Long into the night he would sit at his table, somet ir.es writing only a single paragrapli ; going over it time and again, changing a word here and adding another there, or perhaps erasing much of what was already written. At last, when the clock marked the wee small hours of the morning, he crept into bed ; for if noth ' ng else had been accomplished, his determination had grown deeper and stronger. W ' eeks lapsed into months : winter passed, but with the balmy days of spring there was no surcease of effort. ( )fttimes he strolled into the woods for recreation. Stretched out under the trees he would gaze through the green canopy at the blue heavens above, striving to express a thought or frame some sentence : but the azure sky only reminded him of her eyes, and the breeze stirring through the leaves was as the murmur of her voice. The essays were to be subtnitted on lay the tenth. At last the long months of work were ended, his paper copied and handed in. Hugh managed to get through with his final examinations, and now came a week of rest. . few days before commencement he went up to see Professor Harwell. I hope you ' ll win. Mortimer. he said. Your paper was excellent, most excellent: the only other to touch it was Mr. Carter ' s. have sent them to the English Professor at the University to decide upon, hut I don ' t think there ' s much doubt about your winning. When were they sent. Professor? Why. I gave them to Carter; he took them the other day when he went. Hugh ' s brow darkened. .- s he walked to the post-office he wondered if Carter might — but just then he espied a note in his box from Dot. and the incident passed from his mind. His hand trembled, although he opened the letter with a show of indifference. Dot was coming to commencement I . conflict of emotions swept through his breast — regret, hope, fear, yet with an underlying r.ote of gladness. Three days later, on the first day of commencement, the Dean arose in chapel to announce the result of the contest. The Hastings medal had been awarded to Mr. J. Guy Carter. Amid the tumultuous applause which followed. Hugh Mortimer kept silent : and for a long- while after the crowd had left he remained in his seat. His first impulse was resentment, then reliellion at the result. It could not be true — there must be sonic mistake. Could he have failed? Was it possible that all the long- nicintlis of work had lieen in vain? Slowly the truth dawned upon him; when finally he realized what had happened, his spirit was broken. Even the thought that Dot was coming that afternoon d id nut cheer liim ; licr presence could mean nothing to him now. On the last afternoon he went to say farewell to Professor Harwell, and .ts he grasped the old man ' s hand, he was well nigh overcome with emotion. I ' ve come to say goodd ye. Professor, he stammered. and to thank you fgr all your kindness. Well, young man. he said. you failed. I dnn ' t understand it -. but alwavs do your best, and yon will make life worth while. Ciood-bye. and Cioil ' s blessing be with you. As Hugh turneil to leave, his eye chanceil tn fall upon a letter on the desk. It was from the judge of the contest. Involuntarily he stojiped ; he saw one sentence, but that was enough. — Of the four papers submitted, Mr. Carter ' s was by far the best. It did not impress him until he was out of the room ; then he stopped short. Four papers — there had been five — three besides his and Carter ' s. Whose had been overlooked? His mind reverted to what Professor Harwell had said: Carter himself had taken the papers. Coidd he — no. he would not stoop to such a thing; but then — yes. it must be ; his rival had won through treachery. Hugh Mortimer ' s .soul rose up in righteous indignation. Professor Harwell had not detected anything wrong; he would show him. expose the fraud. But on second thought he realized that it was too late; the medal had already been awarded. It would be of no use to tell any one ; the matter must be between Carter and himself. That done, there would be only one thing more; he would tell Dot good-bye. and leave on the early morning train. Going to his room immediately after supper, he hastily jiackeil his belnntrings. dressed, and went up to the reception. . gay throng moved through the hall, but they had no attractions for him. As he was passing througli. snme ime caught his arm. It was Carter. Mortimer. he .said hoarsely. I nmst speak to you. I have wn nged you. cheated you out of your right. I know. said Hugh, in a hard, cold voice. Imt it is too late now to make reparation. It ' s true. Mortimer; but don ' t judge me too harshly. I knew your paper would win. and I couldn ' t lose; I cheated, not for my sake, but for hers. Rut somehow — it seems — His voice broke. She doesn ' t care for me. And — and — I think she wants to see yon. Can you forgive me? Hugh looked at him ; finally he spoke. , _ _____ Yes, I forgive you — for her sake. As he turned to go, Dot was standing bes-ide him. Hugh. she nuirnuirud. will you go with me i ut on the camjni. ' i? For answer he look her arm, and together they valkeil slo vl until thev came to a rustic. She touched his arm, and he turned to look at lier. A Hood of happiness swept over him. Above, the stars shone down, with nothing between — nothing between them and Heaven. I know, came in soft tones; he told nie. and I ' m so sorr . Hugh. - long pause ; at last he spoke. Dot, are you really sorry? Do you really care? She looked up into his face ; and as he gazed into the depths of her blue eves, all thoughts of the medal vanished, as they had once before when he gazed into the dying embers. Her answer was almost inaudible. I do care, Hugh. And I ' m so sorry about the medal. As he took her in his arms he whispered tenderlv: It wasn ' t the medal I cared for. little girl, but for vou — alwavs for vou. Anniversary H. A. .loNKs. Ki G U. .MAliMiAl.L, I ' l First 1 leljater.

Editors ' Uneasy Chair THE door is closed and tlic editors have departed into the wind and rain, each to his own room, leavinj;- the Editor-in-Chief alone. To-morrow the material goes to the press, and the clock now shows the hour of twelve: yet. who could sleep while on the table beside him lies the result of a hard-fought year which pretends to display college life from the sublime to the ridiculous. Does it do so? Oh, why trouble himself about useless doubts and the blighted past? He is nervous and can not sleep. As he sits here in a half-stupor and drowsy feeling, while the falling rain beats hard and heavy on the roof, he weighs the past with the future. Xow he is thinking of the day on which he was elected t(j tlie place ; how his hopes were boundless and his plans extended. He could then see in his imagination a com- plete annual superior to any of the preceding five. His restless mind moves on through the summer and recalls the wreaths of smiles that crossed his face on being congratulated for this honor. The first meeting of the editors comes in the early autumn and two members are absent. Another man is elected to a vacant place, and all promise work. Week after week passes by and nothing tangible is done. He then realizes that things are not what they seem. He has scanned the past and thought of the ideal. On the table is the real. that contains the future. How far short it is of what he once thought it would be. but the ideal is ever higher than the real, so let him no longer think of what it miifht have been, but what it will be. We extend to you this volume, which we have tried to make representative of the entire student body, regardless of class or individual, and if the face of everv student does not appear somewhere within, it is his own fault.
