TOCHICI, JAPAN Tis for the good of my country that I should be abroad. Height, 5 ft. 6 in. ; Weight, 140 lbs. ; age 23 years. Akiyama liears the unicjue distinction of being the first man from Japan to come to Wake Forest. After spending three years in a northern college, he directed his course southward and bv chance landed at Wake Forest, in the fall of igoS ' He is a man well developed, both in mind and 111 k1 -. and delights to do stunts ' in the gymnasium. Hf has been with us only two years hut, never- llu ' less, has made friends of us all, and we hope to hiar of him as a bright and shining star in the politi- cal arena of his country, and also to hasten ' ' Sunrise ' ' in the Sunrise Kingdom. W. C. Allen, Jr., B. A. VA i;sviiJ.i:, X r Football Team, ' o8- ' oq ; Basket Ball Team, ' oS- ' og, ' og- ' io; Vice-President of Senior Class, ' og- ' io; Assistant Manager of Baseball Team, ' og- ' io. This yotith is one whom all the girls admire — an athlete. In boyhood, his first sport was chasini; rahlnts through the fields of Haywood county. Took his first drinks from the Pierian Springs at the public schools of his home town. During W. C. ' s stay in college he has been identified with all college athletics. Cheerful in disposition, pleasant in manner; in fact, a hail fellow well met. W. C. has made friends by the score. He says he is no orator as Brutus was, and for this reason is seldom heard in society: but at the same time he is a hard-working student and always shows familiar- ity with his lessons. Often he has been seen follow- ing a svir ' eyor ' s ' chain across the campus, and after graduation will, no doubt, be at the head of an engineer ' s corps, laying new railroads. ' - i-i:;!?

Sophomore Medal, ' 08; Associate Editor Weekly, •09; Member Student Senate, ' oS- ' oq; Member De- bate Council, ' oQ- ' io; Anniversary Orator, ' 10. Height, 5 ft. 10 ins.; weight, 170 lbs.; age, 25 years. A man of wise judgment, a faithful friend, an agreeable companion. He has the verv appearance of an orator, and especially did he distingiiish him- self in that capacity at Anniversary. John is very lT ' ])ular in college and holds the confidence of the whole student body. As a student, he is steadv. not the kind whose ambition is to coin the loo ' s, but he takes his work with ease and little excite- ment. A strong speaker, determined, and invincible in his undertakings, he will surely make the greatest success as a lawyer. ?. £. Brickhouse, B. A. TERRELL COLXTY, X C Pre Although i iident of Ministe ial Cla 09. Senior Speaker Height, 5 ft. 9 ins. ; weight 145 lbs. ; age 26 years. A brick house in name, but like Jackstm, a stone- wall in character, quiet, unassuming, the subject of this sketch, on slight ac ' |uaintance. is seldom taken for his full worth. An earnest student, a hard worker, and an uncompromising Christian gentle- man when the right is at stake. This man has made a lasting impression upon those who know him intimately. Though he seldom courts popularity, he never forgets a favor, and leaves college with a host of strong friends. Those who know him be- lieve in him. In his four years of college life Brickhouse has never been a star, yet he is by no means dull. On class he is prompt and faithful, while in society his clarion voice may often be heard in debate or council. His silent, manly bearing has had its effect on his fellow students, and he goes forth, a worthy herald of the old, old story. Joseph Melville Broughton, B. A. raij-:I(;h. n c The heights of great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight ; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. Anniversary Marshal, ' 08; President of Junior Class, ' o8- ' oq; Member of College Senate, ' o8- ' oq ; Associate Editor of Weekly, ' oS- ' og; Athletic Editor, ' oS- ' oq; President of Y. M. C.

What Longfellow expresses in the above lines as to the achievements of great men, the student body and friends of Broughton can truly say of him. In his work he has been untiring; and in the still hours of the night toiled upward and onward, until he ranks high as a student, and is highly respected by all. While Dutch has ne ' er sought college honors, he has had many handed him, and in every one he has won distinction for himself and honor for the Old College. In council he was ever present, and his advice and sound judgment was sought by the fellows Xot only has he been connected with the political phase of college life, but has lent a helping hand to the Christian side as well Therefore, we may characterize him as a young man who stands for friendship, ' honor nd a Christian character, and in later years, he will, having these principles, stand high 1 his profession. Donald Austin Brown, B. A. KKRSHAW, S r o8, ' 09, ' 10; Manager Basket Here is a man of g, .„ ,d strong character with independence and force, a man wiin holds the con- fidence of everyone. He is e ery mch a South Carolinian, and we wish for more of her sons like him. He is ever steady and stable, unshaken by the shouts or plaudits of the throng; the kind that nourishes the tap-root of the institution. Brown has taken much interest in, and has given much of his time to athletics, especially basket ball: and as manager of that team the past season, he did his work well. The best wishes of the class go with him as he begins his ministerial duties. 24 George Car lie Brown, B. A. MARS HILL X r But I am constant as the nonhern star. Of whose tnie-fiied and resting quality There is no fellow in the firmament. Senior Speaker, ' 09; Senior Editor of the Howler, ' og- ' io. Height, 6 ft.; weight, 175 lbs.; age, 2j years. Pard hails from the land beyond the Blue Ridge, and the mountains seem to have imparted - ' me of their loftiness to his ambition and purposes. He is a splendid student, having completed his course creditably in three years. As a speaker, he has shown marked ability: and above all he is a true friend to all who know him. He talks little. but his good-natured smile and warm hand shake will long be remembered. Perhaps no other man of his class has been so diligent a worker and when he leaves the college halls this same enthusiasm will mark his career. He has selected teaching as his profession, and after graduating will attempt to train some of Xorth Carolina ' s sons and daughters in hard and tr -ing ways of learning. Dee Carricky B. A.

Height, 6 ft.; weight, 165 lbs.; age, 21 years. Dee ' is in many respects an ideal college stu- dent. He has entered heartily into college life. and is one of our strongest and most popular men. . s an athlete, he has doubtless helped to win more victories for Old Gold and Black than any other member of his class. For three successive years, he figured prominently in winning the Intercollegi- ate State championship in Tennis: for two vears he has starred on the basket ball team : he has been indispensable on the track team: and his name is not inconspicuous in baseball and football. Xot only is he prominent in athletics, but he is distinctly identified with all the various interests of the college. He is tall, handsome, an excellent stu- dent, a forceful speaker, and above all a real gentle- man. Richard Elijah Clark, B.

Here is an ardent believer that there is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will. ' A promising minister of the Gospel, whose mild manners, graceful and eloijuent deli -ery. will sway audiences gathered together from the highways and hedges, hamlets and cities. Self-confident, enterprising, with the hermit ' s love for seclusion and the devotion of a great man to his duties, he promises us that old age shall not find him like the belated virgins, nor o ' er eager to accomplish the impossible. Content with the present only when it gi ' es promise of a better future, he seems to the stranger, eccentric and cranky; but to those who know him liest, he prn es himself an unassuming gentleman, Joseph Buren Clayton TRAXSVLVAXIA COUNTY, N.

A typical mountaineer, with a singular stride. ;i pedagogic look, a determined, invincible coun- tenance, studious and industrious habits. He has his own opinirms and expresses them freely. He has made excellent marks in his classes, and the fact that he graduates in three years, demonstrates his superior mental ability. He was a prominent member of his psychology class, and often, while at the table his voice could easily be heard abo e the rest mingling his own opinions with those of Mr. Davis on Pure truth. Clayton is well liked by all the boys. He goes forth a well prepared pedagogue to train the minds of the vouths in The land of the skv. ' F. r. Collins. B. A. ROBESOX roi ' XTV.

In stature, he is rather low; in brawn, mighty: in intellect, brilliant: in personality, commanding; in popularity, reverenced by all: in debate, invincible. At ever ' mass meeting or rally of any kind. Collins is called for. and no student commands more respect and better attention from a student body. His peculiar tone of voice, personality, flow of language, and wit give us a man not easily found. In appearance Fred is stem and philosophical. yet he is big hearted, and a friend to all. Like Andrew Jackson, he has the highest rt ' ganl and admiration for the fair sex. especially for one, Upon entering college, Bull ' s inclination pointed toward the legal profession, and had he followed that inclination only his fondness for Somnus would have kept him out of the L ' . S. Senate. However, he was seized with a call to the ministn,-, and without doubt he will some day be a mighty power in the pulpit. T, D. Collins, B. A.

From the days of Xewishdom his voice was often heard on the campus and in public places. He always carries a smile and has a good word for the fellows. This same spirit of mirth is manifested in all his relations to college life. He has been faithful in his work, loyal to his society, and devoted to the college. His heart is big and his sympathies broad. In athletics he always plays a part and on the Glee Club, he was a star, and sings like a mocking bird.

Henry Clay. Since being with us, he has made rapid strides in his college work, completing his course in two years. While with us, he has justly won the name of Socrates, for one of his greatest ambitions is to make a research in the realms of Greek Literature. In the Latin language he is a wonder, and some day, no doubt, will equal Caesar in versatility. He is quiet and rarely speaks, and when he does, it is often in Greek or Latin, and if in English, it is C( mcerning the little damsels out in ' ' old Kentucky. ' ' In fact, in scholarship, he stands in the foremost ranks, and some day, will carve fur himself a name .r lion-.r out of the problems of life. Percy Vann Critcher, B. A.

I lie historian regrets that lack of space compels him to give nnly a hare outline of the history made. He, however, may feel that he has done his duty if, at some future day, a glance at these pages by a class- mate recalls some forgi tten incident which causes the Icjve for the old college to well up and express itself in a stronger devotion to his Alma Mater. It was on the twenty-ninth day of August, nineteen hundred and six, that there met on the campus here such an assortment of prodigies as had never been seen before, it was some days later, howexer, that they organized as the Class of 1910. The upper clas.smen very kindly assisted us in the organization. In those days of newish-dom we suffered a great deal, or thought we did, at the hands of the upper clas.smen, and gradually learned that the way of tlie sceker-after-knowledge is hard. But these trials an l tribulations only made stronger the tie that binds clas.smates together. Many of us tried to win fame upon the athletic held, but only a few succeeded. In the classroom and especially in English 1. and Latin we starred. Sixty-nine wa- our fa orite number, or seemed to be. The holder of this numliei was alloweil the privilege and |ileasure of taking the above named courses (jver. But quickly passed the days, and soon we returned as I ' resbmen never, but . ' sophomores forever. OiU number was small, but we were courageous. The inter-class championshi]) in basket-ball was won and several of our number sectu ' ed jilaces on the ' varsity teams. Withal, the class, tliough small in number, was large in individual achievements in that second year of its history. , s Juniors our ranks were still more depleted, for some of our laithfid ones Ijecame so learned that, at the rei|ue-t of the h ' aculty, they kindly consenteil to help out the I ' lass of igOf), llowe er, we were joined by recruits from other classes, and so, increased in uuniher . knowleilge ami good looks. Probably the most important e cnt nf the year v;i.s the election of Wake Forest ' s first Governor, of whom we are all iiroml. Would it be saying tocj nuicli to add that the Class of 1910 aided in thus honoring our distinguished friend? We got a holiday at least, and helped inaugurate him. In athletics the class made a record by winning both basket-ball and liaseball inter-class championships, besides furnishing the ' varsity teams valuable men. Even more quickly than the preceding years did this third year pass, and all too soon .it seemed did we gather for the last. .As Seniors our class took the initiative in all movements for bettering the conditions of our college life. Hazing was practically abolished, not by the Senior Class alone, but by the whole student body, acting with the Faculty. Our representatives on basket-ball, football and tlebating teams reflected much honor upon the class and upon the college. We look back with joy to Thank.sgiving night, and we can still liear the old college bell ringing out, Another victory won, and the music of the pans as the howling mob woke uj) the town. Some of the speeches which certain members of the Faculty, clad in scant}- apparel, made when called from their slumbers, still linger. Particularly do we remember P rofessor Carlyle ' s speech in rhyme, as is his wont, whicli closed with this inspired couplet: While the nior.ii i-, shining hrigln. Now I l)itl you all good night. ' ho of us will forget the celebration given to oin- classmates, [ones and Johnson? In the words of Dr. Lynch: Their tongues were of whit-leather. Their throats were of steel ; But with argument and orator -. They made their opponents squeal. 47 Footliall and Fatty I ' liwcll! TIil ' rccnrd of the team was a good one. It is to be reinenil)ered that it was the Class uf Kjio whicli saw football and athletics in genera! placed ujxm a lirni financial basis b the organization of the Alnmni Athletic Association. The event of the year, which attracted world-wide attention, was I ' eary ' s announcement from the frozen north: I )ld ( iold ami lllack nailed to the pole at last. Possibly the greatest achievement of the year was the passing of the Pbycbology examination without the loss of a man, a feat which has been per- formed onlv once before in tlie liistory of the college, and then by a class of four. Can we but feel a little ])rond of it? Spring came, and with it Cogic. Suffice it to say that pride comes before a fall. ' Hie days passed, tilled with work and dreams — dreams of the future that mav or niav not become real. Then at last we were awarded our diplomas, bits of parchment worth nothing in themselves, but inestimable in what they stand for. In these last davs a growing love for the old college and its associations asserts itself, and it is with a certain sadness that we leave (jur .Alma Mater, perhaps some of us never to return. We trust that her name and her noble traditions may be lived up to by those wdio f ollow us. May they zealously ])reserve them as we have tried to do.

HIST(.)RIAX, ' lo. 48 Senior Class Prophecy 0 lioarding the train in Columbus. (Jhio, for I ' -altiiuore. Man,land. I saw- sitting in tlie smoker, a strange-looking human Ijeing. who apparently was endeavoring t(5 conceal himself behind a stack of suit cases. Before taking a seat in front of his. I saw that he was a Hindoo. In a few moments he was muttering out a long string of inarticulate sounds, endeavoring to tell me something, but his spiel was meaningless to me. So he produced a card, on which was written his name and his profession. He was an alchemist, selling what is known in America as the wonder glass. I had no faith in the mirror, but for the sake of curiosity. I purchased one and placed it in mv suit case until I reached mv destination. One warm spring evening in .April. I took the mirror and stole away into the forest and found a high mountain, which is. no man knows, how far awav and how secluded. I carefully unfolded the mirror and found attached to the frame a small pamphlet, which contained a short history of its workings and a few brief directions as to how to use it successfully in producing results. The secret to the whole situation was as follows: Stand before the mirror and b means of incantation (Deaftis de manuere las dirum ' ti) call the spirit from the body. After the spirit is separated, every object about U ' hich the mind thinks zeill instantly span before it. And to my surprise I found that neither mountain nor sea was barrier between the mind and its object, and that the moment I thought of a person. I was in his presence and was able to commune with him. Xow. I would not accept certain prevalent doctrines, and maintain that the consciousness of my own existence is at the same time an immediate conscious- ness of the existence of other tilings without me, and thereby argue trans- cendental idealism, but. as a matter of practical e.xperience. I shall relate, how. by some mysterious phenomena. I was lifted into the future and was able to take part in human affairs and to live in the midst of a remarkable age. A great revolution had shaken Japan from centre to circumference. She had shuffled off the mortal coils of Huddhism and was pluming her wings for a tnie religious flight. At the suggestion of this my mind was instantlv in the exalted presence of the great champion, imder whose leadership that renaissance of Christian brotherhood was brought about. The streets of Tokio were thronged with multitudes. The :Memorial Hall was full to overflowing with eager lis- teners. As I entered the hall, I saw on the rostnun someone emerging from beneath an evergreen arch. .-Vs he advanced and faced that mightv host. Rev. J. E. Hoyle. in a few brief sentences, introduced the Commoner of lapan, the minister to .America. The subject of this statesman ' s speech was. A Plea for the Neutralization of the Manchurian Railway. .As he concluded his discourse, he turned to three distinguished .American citizens, who were seated in the box. and said : A ' ours indeed is a noble heritage. , merica can truly boast of being the first to set the example as a world-wide peacemaker. Tlie I lagiie Conference of twenty- years ago. was only the means of uniting japan and America into closer relation- ship, and may this brotherly love continue to grow until ever - other nation shall be constrained to follow our example in the neutralization of opposing forces — A hen the lion and the lamb shall lie down together. ' when righteousness and peace shall kiss each other. So saying. His Excellency. K. Akivama. took his seat. -After the dispersion of the crowd. I went into the Minister ' s office. I read an account of the great mora! reform whicli was in progress in the City of New York. At tliat suggestion J found mj-self in the midst of the busy throngs of Broadway. J lieard thundering peals of music as 1 passed by the Broadway Tabernacle. On entering that magnificent church, I saw sitting beneath a choir of five hundred voices the minister, under whose marvelous leadership this great reform was being wrought. He arose and for an hour lield that vast audience in breatliless silence with the magic wand of his true logic and soul- stirring eloquence. His theme was, The Relative ' alue of Earth and Heaven. Stretching out his hand over tlie audience, he concluded his discourse bv saying, How poor is the present compared with the future ! Upon these mortal shores is written Fading and Transitory. That which we seek either eludes our grasp or sadly disappoints us in the possession. So that we cry. ' is there no world where the worm never gnaws at the root of the rose? here the lacerating thorn is not concealed in everything that is fair ' ? And at the conclusion of the service he advanced to the door, when the janitor relieved him of parcels and was in the act of aiding him in his landau, when I said, Hello, Bull Collins. He immediately turned and said, Hey there, old pal. .And after a very interesting conversation, he asked me if I had heard from E. X. Johnson since he had taken charge of the Second Church in Chicago. In a moment I foun l myself in the midst of that great city. And looking up the street. I saw Johnson standing on a goods box in front of a saloon, clawing the air in a supreme effort to strike a death blow to the liquor traffic. At the conclusion of his speech, I approached him, and after passing a few words of greeting, he said to me in a sad tone: 1 am having a terrible struggle in this city with the liquor forces. My greatest enemies are the Chicago pulpit, press and political rings. And the thing that grieves me most is this: One of my old classmates, the editor-in-chief of the Chicago Herald, is my strongest opponent in the fight. After learning the name of the distinguished journalist. I called at tlie Herald office, and who was it that greeted me but Broadus Jones! He had just completed an article in which he had given a summary of the result of the larathon Race whicli occurred in London the day before. I asked him wliy he was taking .so much interest in athletics. He quickly replied: Why. it is natural that I should be interested in the wonderful success of one of my old classmates and friends who won the world ' s championship in the Marathon Race. And pointing his finger to a name in large type, he said. Look here! And upon a moment ' s reflection I found myself looking up Main Street in tlie city of London. 1 saw coming in the distance, tlie American float, pulled b) ' patriotic Americans, who were celebrating the great victory. As it rumbletl by I saw McCutcheon. the victor, seated high up by the l rince of W ' ales. wrapped in the stars and stripes. But instantly my atten- tion was called to a different scene. As the float flew by I saw huge Clayton swinging to the rear and crying out, Hold on, there; that thing is going to kill somebody! And behold, I looked and saw Clayton, Clark, Brickhouse, John- son, G. H,. Brewer. Carlie Brown and Woodall. who had gone to London on a cattle ship to take recreation during the summer months. In the afternoon of the same day I read an article in the London Times entitled: A New Epoch in the South, and in the course of his comments the editor said : No movement has done more toward hastening this epoch than the agricultural awakening, which has revolutionized tlie entire Soutli. This suggested to me the great champion of tliat movement who, while in college, delivered an oration on Agriculture: The New Birth. .And at that instant I found myself seated in the legisla tive halls of North Carolina listening to tlie Governrir ' s message, tlie keynote of which was an eli (|uent plea for the main- 50 tenance of the farming industry- throughout the State. The distinguished Governor was J. J. Best. At the conchision of his message, he and I went into Lieutenant-Go emor Carricks office. Then the Governor suggested that I go with him in the evening to attend a meeting of his cabinet, . mong the members of his cabinet were W. P.. Hampton. .Vttorne -General ; J. M. Broughton. Secre- tary of State, and R. H. Slianks. Superintendent of Public Instruction. For an hour we had an old-time chat, . mong the interesting topics we discussed was the second Logic examination, which, by the way. ever - one of us had to stand. But feeling that I had sufficiently honored myself by having been the visitor of such dignitaries. I decided to go down into the bii.sy streets, where moved the common man. Pony Bill ' s Show was in Raleigh at that time, and the streets were crowded. Before going very far down the street. I heard a shrill voice ring out amid the noisy din of the street-walkers, saying. Hot-parched peanuts, five a bag, and I looked and saw West. A fe«- blocks further on I saw a great throng of people surging toward the .Academy of Music, where it had been whispered one of E. I. OHve ' s famous plays, The Westerner. was to be plaved bv a Xew York company, managed b}- lake Hardy. But instantly, the multitude halted. A great commotion had taken place. The Mayor of the city had issued orders to the Chief of Police, demanding that he guard the doors ' and allow no one to enter. The leaders of the mob. however, insisted on entering the door, anyway ; but in a few brief moments. Mayor Forehan«l and Chief Fattv Powell had succeeded in preventing the play. .Xtxjut this time the fire alarn ' i was heard. I looked up the street and saw the fire engine coming at a terrific speed, with fim Adams and Chas. Bell swinging to the rear; Bell had lost his cigar snmip and .Adams ' pompadour was knocked flat. .After the crowd had dispersed, I looked up Main Street and saw standing in front of the courthouse a tall, sun-burned street iloctor, wearing a weather-beaten beaver and a claw-hammer coat, veiling out, Right this way for a free sample of Dr. X ' emon ' s Xew Discoven. ' His won- derful life-saver had created such a sentiment that Judge Geiger liad to adjourn court in the afternoon. On a near ap])roach I recognized the almost exhausted street doctor to be Dr. Coach Cheek, who was selling Dr. Xemon ' s Permanent Cure for Hook-Worms. At the suggestion of this last scene, my mind reflected on the bodv of clay which lay on the lonely mountain peak. o erlooking the grav clouds of mist below. And, opening my eyes of flesh, T beheld the mirror which I had brought there only t velve hours before. .And after hiding the wonder glass in a mountain cave. I took the old trail which led down the streaked tail of time and into the present I leaped, with these words ringing in mv ears, .A day of the present is as a decade of the future.

Jiiyful, yet sad, were we at the beginning of the autumn of igo , when we left our distant homes to begin our college career. Sad were we at the thought of leaving many friends and our old firesides which we had learned to love so dearly. Joyful were we at the fond thought of the glorious opportunities which lay before us, the seizing of which w.aild make us men of note, renowned and adored. ■As I- res|iinen we liegau to cliiulj tlie mountain of college life. ( in this climb we have encountered many forests, thickets and entanglements; yet, at the end of the year, we found we liad linished one-fourth of oiu ' journev. With much curiosity and many smiles we look back to the exciting occurrence in tlie . himni r.uilding, when the .Suphomores did not have ver much reverence for our class meeting. , n exciting time and great happening this! We must confess tliat for a while, during our first college year, we were somewhat dazed at tlie new order of affairs, the strange boys we met. and the scornful way the - seemed to look down on us, Xewish. That was a most eventful vear. W ' e were soon liegiiming tlie second stage of our luountain rliinb. and the manner of our journey had liy this time become i|uite familiar to us. c had passed through the trials ami tribulations of I- ' rcshmen, and were entering into the duties of Sojilnimores. . s .S.iphoniores we were said to li ' e up to that name in its supreme and original sense — in other words, wc wei-e ideal .■sophomores, and only a Freshman or a Sophomore can explain what is an idea!

Manv are tlie tales we could relate just at this period of .nir liistor . lint we must desist and pass to tlie Golden . ge of oiu liistorv. 56 With the autumn of 1909. the third year of our college climb was begun, and we were now known by the najiie of Juniors. Onl - a Junior knows how to appreciate that title. Xot until this year did we full realize and appreciate our position in college life. With us rests largely the task of promoting the general welfare of the college. . s Juniors we first realized that in future years we would be known largely by the records wc made during our Junior year and the year following; therefore our hard work is the result of all this reflection. The history of a nation is the history of individuals. Therefore, taking our class as a specimen of . merican citizensbij), and supposing that our future will be as glorious as our past, great will be the future achievements of our nation. The Junior Class is well represented in all branches of college life. On the athletic field the Juniors are right there with the goods every time. In the various college organizations our class supplies many efficient officers and active members. As we glance back over our past three years, we recall several of our band who started with us in the climb: but they have fallen by the wayside and are with us no longer. Yet we ren ' ember a small number of aspirants who started with us. but as they could not be held back, they will beat us to the goal of college life. They sped by us as if they rode the fleeting winds; and indeed, something seems to tell me they were riding — is it necessarv for me to say — ponies ? It is a pity those noble fellows could not be persuaded to remain with us, yet. if some of the rest of us could have possessed such fast travehng beasts of burden, perhajis we would have been with that advance guard. c are three-fourths of the way up the mountain, and in the dim distance we faintly see the outlines of our goal — the mountain peak. We are reminded that one more year of climbing will bring us to our much-coveted destination. W hen on that summit, we promise there to plant our most loyal college banner long may it wave. Always in our paths of life, though we may be separated far. our thoughts and kind remembrances will drift back to a resting place in the friendly associates of our Jtmior Class.

A4 Sophomore Class Prophecy n.W IXG been elected I ' ropliet of the Sophomore Class of 1910. i im- mediately began to feel my importance and to congratulate the class on having made such a wise choice. The session wore on and the end was rapidly approaching, when I realized that the destiny of the individuals of the class was still a mystery. In vain I tried to clothe myself in prophetic robes and train my eyes to pierce beyond and catch a glimpse of the hidden fates. Realizinij that I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet. I knew my only hope lay in finding some mystic oracle. It being out of the question to visit the famous shrine of Delphi. I turned my attention to the nearest object of its resemblance. This, I decided, was that place dear to the heart of everj- boy in Wake Forest, known as the Wolf ' s Den. Accordingly, on a lovely afternoon in Marcli. wlien tlie siui was sloping slowly towards the west, in company with my chum. Tom. I set out for the lupine cave, the traditional abode of that ravenous beast. When we had reached the place, I sprawled out full length on the warm, dry leaves and turnefl my face so that I might peer directly into the blackness within the den. Tom left me when I gave him this instruction : Crmrade. leave me here a little While as yet the sun is high- Leave me here, and when I want yrui I will rai e a rousing cry. Presently all was perfectly quiet. I began going through all manner of incantations — that is. all that 1 had ever lieard of the ancients using — hoping against hope that there would be a manifestation. I had not lain there long before a strange feeling came over me. (iiadually I felt myself being trans- formed by some strange, mysterious power into another person, but one whom I instantly recognized. Perceiving through the senses of this second person, here is what occurred : 65 There was a sudden subterranean limvl, followed by a cloud of lurid smoke. which parted the two great bowlders foruiinjj the mouth of the den as it issued from the den. bearing in its mantle a gigantic wolf. The horrible creature stood upright on its hind legs and snapped its grizzly jaws menacingly at me, while I lay riveted to the spot in amazement and horror. Presently there was a guttural growl, which ended in Noniething like thi : ••I ' .ehol.l me. llereu|)on 1 found my i ice ami au ' -wered. hat are yi u? 1 am l.ujjus Horrendus, the keeper of the destinies of men. Ilehold your classmates. As he spoke he struck the nearest rock with his tail, and instantly there was an opening tlu ' ough it about the size of a siher dollar, and thrnugh it he bade me look. On peering througli the opening, the hrst thing 1 saw was . ' ew ' ork City. It was night and the glaring electric lights revealed a sea of siu ' ging humanity, through which M. , . Huggins, with a huge basket on his arm, was scjuirniing his way towards an establishment bearing the sign. .Snatch, l ateui t ' o.. City Liakers. He accepted the position of deliveryman for this tirm in order to get enough biscuits and cake to eat. I was making my way ti wanN liim. wlien there was a rush and roar above me. and, looking skyward. I saw the immense airshi]]. ep])elin. flying at great sijeed. I was just straining my eyes to see the occupants, just as someone at my elliow said. It is Sydney A. Edgerton, the Handsome, still travelling. He is second assistant sand dumper. From New York the scene shifted to Wake l- ' orest. A numlier of students were gathered on the campus, discussing elective Latin, when I heard a voice call out, Hev, Doctor, what are you going to do this summer? I looked and saw my old friend. Crane, trying to interest Dr. Foteat in a book agency proposition. At this moment another cloud of smoke nearly obscured my vision, but in the gloom I recognized Dr. Thaxton with a ten-cent satchel in his hand, hastening to the relief of old Peter Corntossel, who had knocked the bark off his wooden leg. When he arrived, he found Lawyer McGlahon sitting by, nervously writing u]) the old man ' s will, and at the same time smiling his approval upon a red- haired girl who was making goo-goo eyes at him from an o])posite corner. Another .scene, accompanied by a souml similar to that of the .Xiagara h ' alls, presented itself. A great convention was in progress. .Senator Osborne liail just nominated Gaither Beam for president of the Haygrowers - ssociation, when Doorkeeper Allen, arguing to Doorkeeper Sorrel that his dog had run down forty rabbits in ten minutes, became so animated that Town Constable Harris had to pour fnur l)uckets of ice water on them to cool them nff. In his excite- ment .Mien twisted ofY from his watch-chain a rusty medal, which lie had made in imitation of the une he had worked so hard for while at Wake h ' orest. 66 Again at Wake Forest, I saw a great procession heading up Facult - Avenue with Highsmith as band master. Professor McBrayer was just behind the band, bearing aloft a lieautiful lilue serge coat witli this inscrijition in large letters: Xo arch are we Imilding. No structures we raise, Yet this are we leaving Our memories to praise. More lasting than marble. More treasured than gold. This token we ' re leaving For Finstus to hold. Doubtless I would have seen the fate of ever)- one of my classmates, but unfortunately I was rudely disturbed just at this moment. . heavy blow on my side brought me to my senses. I looked and saw Tom rubbing several bad bruises on his shins and knees, received in his fall from the tall poplar above me. where he had climbed to inscribe his name just a little higher than anyone else.

Guy Poet W. T. Baucom Prophet -- 69 The History of the Freshman Class F-.n EMBER 7th, igog, was an auspicious day in the annals of Wake I- ' orest College. On that date more than one hundred and fifty Fresh- men made their pilgrimage to the Bursar ' s office, paid their matricu- lation fee. received instead a certificate of admission to college, and. what was of va.stly more moment, a certificate entitling them to the honorary title of newish. According to the report of the Chairman of tlie Entrance Committee, this class was better prepared for college tlian any of its predecessors. President Poteat says that less than a dozen of our class would have fallen short of admission to any of our leading Northern universities. So much for our entrance merits. After some two weeks ' rambling amid the scenes of this renowned institution of culture and clg sical learning, we decided to marshal our forces and elect our class officers. 5 a. m. On this occasion we had been promised, and were expecting as guests, a number of our esteemed and admired friends — the Sophomores. However, much to our disappointment and chagrin, those honored and deferential gentlemen failed to appear on the scene, perhaps on account of the earlv hour of convening. In athletics, as well as in other departments, our class has made good. On the scrub football team we were represented by Futrell. Ashecraft and Riddick. with Aydlett as Captain, while Utley. Faucett and Retts, as members of the varsit -, are wearers of the much-coveted W. Hutchins. .A. ].. wears the Crozier Athletic Medal, which he von over tlie other representatives of the class. Of course, as the reader is aware, to set forth in detail all the merits of this class woidd be impossible. However, plaudits here are not necessarv. One ' s work speaks for itself. e have advocated all people attending their own business, have lived our part of the motto, and have taught some of our friends in the next higher class the wisdom of this policv. In conclusion, the one act that has given light and color to all the rest of our achievements, the one act that stands as land-mark in the history of all Fresh- man classes of this place, the one move that stands as a monument to the advance- ment of culture and refinement, shed abroad by our .Alma Mater, was our resolve not to engage in hazing in any fashion or form, and to lend our influence to put down any tendency towards same. Of this resolution we are justly proud. HISTORIAN . 71 Freshman Class Prophecy ffi lll ' .X my rla calk-d my nanu- and (k ' clarol tliat I was iw |in.|ilKl. I CduM lint ciinceivo llie idea nt looking boynnd tlio dark curtain that liangN l)efciie cnir eyes, and of getting a glimpse of the untrodden paths lying licti.jre the h ' reshnian Class of lyoQ-io. Week after week passed hy ; soon the weeks lengthened into months ; Christmas holidays came and went, still the unfriendly Fates refused to grant me the prophetic spirit. I lingered on until January 2ist; then, when the heavens were overspread with lowering clouds, the atmosphere close and dam|i, the winds held in their rocky abode by their king, Aeolus, I with mingled anxiety and delight, began to feel that the Muses were cautiously drawing the opaque curtains aside. In silence I stood eagerly gazing upon the misty spectacle. When I was completely overcome Ity tliis dilemma, wise Minerva whispered in my ear and gave me the necessary wisdom to unfold the mysteries of life lying just in front of my classmates with true and precise accuracy. While under this magic spell all the classes of bygone years passed before me. I stoo(l gazin:; on the odd and unlucky number 191, , and saw a string of degrees, y . A.. H. . ., etc. Hey 1 Tliis was not all, for a ver - uiultituiiinous number, whose names were followed by the familiar title, thmked out, walked under the arch in majestic style. .After 1913, wherever I wandered, . orth. East, South or West, I found one of mv old classmates to be the leading spirit in his town or community. Dropping into the legi.slature I found quite a number of my dear old classmates, among whom were Jones and llutchins. Thev passed no unjust laws. . s I listened to them. Jones arose, and with oratory suflicient to ilisturli the |)eaceful slumber of Demosthenes, introduced a bill to impose a tifty-dollar line on every man who married without a chance. Then Hutchins, whose face is always covered with smiles, stepped to the front and said, Rrethren, I think all sisters (except old maids) ought to be included in that law, too, for a woman doesn ' t have any more right to marry than a man does. Wandering on, I passed through the tiiountains and saw W ' alliti ami 1 ilsnn standing on Pike ' s Peak waving a hinken cliair and a gory knife in tlii, ' Hashing sunlight; un their liat haniK were those words: Sophomore visits are short bnt sweet. Here niv wandering vision dropped from the glorious unpuntain air tn the valley of despair. In dark bewilderment I wondered w liat was U liecoiiie of the rest of my classmates. Soon good Minerva again whispered in my ear and said : Shake off your lazy stupor and behold what is before yon. I looked and saw my classmates following various professions. Skaggs was at the head of the Southern Power Company ; Kennedy had quit the race track and was chasing the sun for exercise ; Utley was manager of the Baltimore football team ; P ennett was a prominent politician, and by the use of much oratory, had twice seciu ' ed the office of constable in his own township ; Smith had charge of a moving picture show, but he w ' Ore such a pleasant smile that his customers looked at him rather than at his pictures — consequently he became a bankrupt. Poole, by an act of Congress, 1929. held the exclusive right to coin words for the post-graduate classes of Harvard and ' ale ; the shortest word he coined contained ninety-nine letters. Arrington held a monopoly on courtship and taffy ; Cline, in 1920. defeated P.ryan for the presidency of the United States. His cabinet was com- posed of Kearn, Broughton, Long, Langston, Guy and Johnson. Ellis was such a good salesman that he often sold spectacles to blind men ; Harwood was elected to the chair of Latin to succeed Dr. Paschal. 1969. Xo one flunked out after he took the chair. Just here my wise guide informed me that my class was mucli c jncerned about future classes of Wake Forest, and because of that fact. said she. Car- penter, Carrick, Greer, Stillwell and Wyatt are to remain at the college for the purpose of ' legging ' the Faculty for the new men. . fter assuring me that all the rest of my classmates were to be successful in their various undertakings, my guide led me into a great auditorium. This auditorium, filled to overflowing, was beautiful. The balcony groaned under human weight, . liove the silken curtains which hid the stage from view, quaint pictures could be seen. Thus surrounded, the vast audience sat in breathless silence, waiting for the curtain to be drawn aside. Presently it was cautiously drawn aside, and lo, before my eyes stood my old classmate, Wilkins, in all his splendor, ready to sing a solo. His sweet and melodious voice bore me away to the Elysian fields of slumber. When I awoke the curtain had been redrawn and darkness brooded over me — I had been dreaming.

That is to say, we made all rag mastication look stale and ineffective by comparison. Eventually we elected some waiting patriots to the places of honor at our disposal and adjourned. hde making no fetish of class work, still, out of respect for the professors, we have attended lectures on favorable occasions, and even stood quizes with flattering results. Cut it is in the things of the spirit that we fairlv surpass ourselves. Xewish Dennett alleges we are possessed of a devil, probably of seven devils individually and collectively. But Bennett was provoked when Fido of antecedents unknown, and for reasons probably good, but known only to himself, saw fit to shuffle off this mortal coil behind the domiitor - one evening. I ' .ennett exhibited a merely casual interest. Dogs die with great, though not alarming frequency. But he returned at q:oo p. m.. from a lecture on the up-hft of China and obser e l Fido reposing in segments among his Lares and Penates, and smelling to high heaven in a disconnected, fragmentary fashion. This impious desecration of the last sad remains led him to explain to the assembled students how. by the dispensations of an all-wise and inscrutable Providence all meds were desperately wicked and condemned already. 1 prefer to call this episode the Ultimate Fate of Inoffensive Fido. Bennett took a more personal view of the matter and named it quite lifferently. For obvious, not to sa - prudential reasons, his remarks are omitted. .A much graver incident, in which Allen and (larris took leading roles, was the suicirle of an individual, whom, for lack of a better name, we will call Smith. All suicides are sad. but this one was positively mournful. When Garris and Allen heard a pistol shot, followed by the dull thud of romance in Smiths room, they recognized trouble instinctively, and rushed in by way of first aid to the injured. They found him lying in a pool of gore, clutching a revolver in his tightening fingers, and seemingly unconscious. Garris essayed to remove one of the unfortunate ' s shoes to get at his puise. Fool. hisse l Allen, you ' ve got the wrong foot. The proper shoe being removed, he clasped his thumb on a tendon and gasped that poor Tom was almost gone.

In one of his lucid moments he begged me to call him early next morning, since, as he moclestly exjilained. he was to be Oueen of the Alay. All this goes to sliow the altruistic spirit of the .Meds desiring as they do to ameliorate the aua ' mia resultant o n ]!. A. banalities. The class as a whole is remarkable, of course, but, confidentially, keep your weather-eye on Coach Cheek. lie has bats in his garret. There is also caution to be observed with regard to Long Wall. Whenever he swings into your line of vision, gazing steadfastly southward, and moving in that self-same direction, liis mouth set in determined lines, corresponding to the slit under a drop-letters-here sign, and his nerve held resolutely in place, be not of that wicked and perverse genera- lion, .seeking after a furth.er sign, but reason carefully. The lode star of his existence is located in Raleigh, and he is merely acting in accordance with a law as old as the world.

Through these years, he has dexoted his time to the study of his choice, and now. he de- mands his degree in this department. He has been a faithful advocate o ' all college progress: though taking no active part in athletics, he has lent his influence by his presence and enthusiasm Ed- wards is a devout worshipper at the Shrine o Love. and when the opportunity comes he bows to woman and smiles When the woman sees this bow she blushes, and there is a mutual smile R.

Here we find a man. light hearted and whole- souled, with a reserved and dignihed air, who never meddles with other ' s affairs and never worries with the troubles of life. He is quiet, but always pleas- ant and jolly to those who know him: a friend in time of need. His portentous countenance and physique bespeak for him a sound mind and a sound body. He has done enough work to entitle him to the LL, B. degree and we see a promising attorney in him. On the athletic field, Forepaw bravely charged the enemy ' s flank and w as foremost in every charge with muscle and brawn. We feel that he will be missed from the ranks of athletic teams. H. D.

Geiger possesses at least one commendable characteristic, that of letting his conscience, to a great extent, rule his life, and is a firm believer in right and justice as was e ' idenced by the part he took in a Wake Forest-A, M. football game. Geiger is somewhat reserved, and in the affairs of college, he has been lenient with his advice. To the State of Florida he will return as an herald of the law. Charles Little Hardy, LL. B. TICSOX.

Height, 5 ft. 10 ins.; weight, 145 lbs.; age, 21 years. In glancing over the roll of our class, we find the home of one of its members is on a Western plain. After hearing the roaiing cyclone and seeing the stampede of the cattle and buffaloes cross the prairie, this youth, after some years saw greater things in store for him. so he came East to be versed in ■Tar- Heel law. To Wake Forest he came, and has been a faith ' ul member of the law- class In the Moot t ' ourt he was ever present to defend his cause. His oice is loud, his language biting, and his argu- ment convincing. Though a member of the Drug Store Brigade he has not let it interfere with his - ollege work.

While in college, he has led an irreproachable hfe of innocence, yet he is ambitious and a man of character. For the ladies, he seems to be a magnet. Often he has been seen strolling under the campus shades, or sitting on a rustic with a Southern Beautv. As a member of the baseball team he plaved his part gracefully and well. Though. like all mankind. nervousness came to him in the hottest athletic battle, we have the confidence to beUeve that he will keep a cool head in fighting life ' s battles. 89 James Elmer Kinlaw, LL.

Now, a great many may think that some of us had tough luck while doing some writing for the Supreme Court at Raleigh, biU we gave this matter serious consideration before we left, and decided to allow a few to go back next time, for fear that the class of next year would be so small that someone, not knowing the reason, would think the Law Department was going down. For who shall doubt our ability? It is a well-known fact that Skillet Lewis has almost completed his second revision of Rlack.stone, and is about ready t(j iiut it on the market, while l!ennett often makes suggestions to Professor Timberlake on how to .make Hopkins on Real Property more thorough. Profes.sor GuUey, upon learning the ability of some members of our class as students, has often stood amazed, while the expression on tlie faces of ' heeler Martin and Coughenhour .so often betravs their eagerness to tell the law that he has been known to ask them ques- tions, and then, in order to save time, deny them the privilege by answering tlieiii himself. ( )ur Moot Court has grown to have such influence, and its decisions so much weight that the Ex-High Lord Chief Justice Solomon J. Allen, upon having a case come up before him upheld by this notable body at one time, sided with us without further investigation. Dut they have all heard about us. hdr who shall (piestion tlie profound knowdedge of our first learned associate justice. Sawyer, the oratory of Suskins, the literarv proiluctions of the young Arthur Brisbane D. ( iore, wlio has startled the press witli his poetry and thereby causing his spouse to leave him, and the generositv of Carter towards his friends in February. We know of no reason why the members of the Supreme Coiu ' t of the United States should all seem to take a notion to die at one time, unless they have heard about our class as a whole, and do not wish to be embarrassed by Iheir meagre knowledge of the law when we appear before them. And we have been ery generous toward our rival, too— the .Ministerial Class — in jjermitting Parson Stringfield to make a couple hapjiy when they were so negligent in not having a representative on the scene. And, knowing the needs of our brethren, we have finally decided to allow iiuU I ' ollins to stay with them for a season. )4 But there have been misfortimes to befall our men, notably the shooting episode whicli occurred at Holding ' s pond, and in which two of our representa- tives figured conspicuously. Two of our distinguished members, Whitaker and Lewis, being ardent admirers of the goddess, Hygeia, and feeling the clTects of the spring fever, joined a party of several others to go bathing in this mill-])ond, and while tliere were lired on by the owner of tlie mill. I ' alling back upim the strong arm of the law for revenge, they sought refuge in the .Moot Court. Upon examination it was proved that they, though in this great crisis, never swerved , but stuck to tlie teachings of our most noble dean — to be brave in all things. And be it said to their credit, that not one of them threw up his hands and called for the calf rope, nor did any complain of where he was hit. But with all our imperfections, we boast of never having had a serious candidate for the presidency of the lie me-I lead Club, wliile so soon as the pro- moters of this Club announced their intentions to perfect an organization last year, the Medical Class at once ' cinched the highest office without any opposition except among themselves. ' hile everyone admits that Mcl ' rayer. of the Min- isterial Class, on account of his relations to the opposite sex has thrown himself into the limelight, and won a two-year term ( Presidency of the Bone-Head Club respectively, being the office referred to) it is to our sorrow that one of our own number, out of the goodness of his heart, with malice toward none and good will toward all, matle a mad dive for this responsible position through our last Supreme Court examination. However, Clubby-foot has survived this shock and is now coaching the baseball team. Many changes have been brought aliout since we have been here. One full- pledged Professor has been added to our department, while tlie course has been lengthened from two to three years. Many .schools have abandoned the text- book system of teaching, but we are still running under the double entrv system, being a combination of both the cases and the text-books. But we are looking for a radical change soon, for Morgan and Feezor have almost converted the Faculty to use the Socratic method. This will be a great day for the law students, for then all can look wise, and there will be no way of proving otherwise. The same ol l dusty law room still stands, but we pro]3ose to present to the college a law building on one condition — that it shall not be used bv our rivals, the Ministerial Class.

Of nations lost and dying; The tears come from the sinful crowd. Who ring their hands while crying. The dentist pulls and probes and beats Aud beautifies our grinders. So we can eat all kinds of meats Without those quick reminders. The teacher tells us all about The past and what is coming, And when at last the class goes out Our brains are fairly httmming. And there are others on this earth. Some rising and some falling ; Some sore and sad; some filled with mirth; Well, some in ev ' ry calling. But far abo -e this motley push. With lordly eye one glances. And sees below, in angry rush The world, with all its chances. And when he comes from out the crowd. From teamster, sla -e and sawyer. Cheers come forth both long and loud ; Look! see our friend the lawyer. 97 WORKING TO BEAT THE DEVIl. y8 Ministerial Class Officers MuTTu: ■.Viij; ministran soi mniistraiw R. E.

(|ucstion lias Ini-n rtrcntly askcl. ■■Dues the organizati.m of the f J Ministerial Class in your college accentnate the line of cleavage be- tueen the ministers and the other students? Judging from the results of the short time in which we have heen organized we feel free in saying that, instead of creating any chasm, it tends to draw us closer together. An in- creased respect for organized work is being recognized everywhere, and this feeling among the student body gives them a respect for us that they could not have if we sliowed no signs of common brotherhood, liesides this, it gives us. as ministers, a personal knowledge of each other, thereby drawing us closer together and making more sincere and helpful our association. Even though ministers have constituted a reasonable percentage of the student body since the founding of the college, it was not until two vears ago that we attempted our present form of organization. It seems fitting, then, that we are thus far advanced, for, as Professor W. .Stanley Jevons puts it, The second term is called the predicate, which simply means that which is affirmed or asserted. This name is derived from the l.atin fruedkare. to assert, whence conies tlie French name predicateiir, corrupted into our preacher. It IS right difficult, in one respect, to try to write a history of an organization whose career has been so short, but when we look at the magnitude of its scope its relation to almost every phase of college life, as well as the influences it sheds abroad— we are sure that we liave a wonderful history if it could only be told. The ministers are not like some other organizations of the college -a group of men by themselves-— Init you find them everywhere and iloing almost every- thing — that ' s tolerated. In the . : I. C. .- . meetings tlie ministers do not, or even trv to, assume contri.ll of affairs, but they do figure conspicuously in every movement of that sphere. In all the moral and religious movements of the college the ministers play no small part. .Above all this, these r,ung ■ ' persecutors of the . aints, as they are some- times called, are frequently away on ministerial duty. Some are supplying for distant pastors, while others are filling their own regular appointments. X ' iewing our organization as a whole, it seems to divide itself into four parts. The first group, wdiich is composed of members of practically every college class, have regular appointments for pastoral work each Sundav durintj the entire year. The second class is not f|uite so f.,nuiiate. They have from one to two regular places a month. Tlie members of the third groui) seem still less fortunate ; for thev have no regular place, but fit in only as wedgewoo l when opportunity presents itself. Tlie fourth class, however, are scijarate and (hstiiiet from the others, insoimich that they never leave the Mill exee|it uliei? home nr Meredith draws them away; but in the society halls it ma he said of them that. -yUe wiiiil llio Mrikf, anil llic -tars tlH ' picn-c With tliL ' ir lligll -ch..,,l slvlf ..f .IclMliiig llt-ivi- (■ ■ r this latter class we believe dhere ' s a .yreat da ciMuin- b aii.l by. b ' n.m .ill tliese chvisi.ms we ha e ready matei ' ial f . m ' Imih iiilrn and ;;; ,T-cullegiate leliatinj;. as shown by our pa-t records.

A new s]iirit has taken possession of the institution, ami Wake I ' orest is to be recognized as one of the leaders in athletics in the South. There is a democratic feeling now which was ne er so stront; before, causing everyone to take a vital interest in athletics. All the teams are composed entirely of amateurs, who ])lay for the love of the game. This interest is manifested by the excellent attendance at the games and the loyal support given the teams. The founding of the .Alumni Athletic Association has placed athletics on a sound financial basis. The linancial problem, wliicli has been a great handicap heretofore, is being settled by this Association, wliile it co-operates with the students. ieuing tlie year as a whole, we have every reason to congratulate our- sehes and to eN])ect .greater things in the future.

To those famihar with the conditions of the game here, the record as stated above is indeed satisfactor)- evidence of marked improvement over last year. To those not informed of our situation, it is only necessary to say that this was just the second season of the game, which was long under the ban at this institution, and which has as yet to gain the genuine support that it deser es. Financial difficidties and other seemingly insurmountable obstacles had to be overcome, and yet the team struggled on and made a record of which the college and its Alumni shoidd be proud. It seems to be character- istic of infants in general to experience a hard second year. Our infant (foot- ball) has passed that stage and is ver - much alive. Next season will see us with a winning team. Unfler the ery capable direction of Coach Meyers, a former Harvard man, the team last fall was developed into an aggressive bunch of players. The line-up of the team was as follows: L. Leggett. q. b.. (captain) ; Forehand, f. b. ; DufFv. r. h. b. ; Allen. 1. h. b. ; Utley. r. end ; Harrison, r. t. ; Broughton. J. M.. r. g. : Powell, P.

The gymnasium is crowded at ever - game, witli ])lenty of enthusiasm on the side line and a winning team on the floor. And we feel tliat it justly deserves the recognition that is given to it here. It is a clean, pretty game, when well played, re(|uiring speed and skill, and is even more than self-su])i)orting from a tinancial stand- point. Daily e.xercise is essential to a man ' s growth, especially to a college student, who is liable to sacrifice his body for the develo] ment of his mind. Taking this as true, every college should have a series of games that extend throughout the entire year. I ' .asket ball comes during the cold and snowy CAPTAIN ALLEN months of winter, when there are no outdoor games to be ])layed, and, therefore, deserves an important jilace in college atliletics. Our team this year was an exceptionally good one. .Mien and Carrick played their usual good game as forwards; I ' .rown and Duffy were always on their men as guards, and Whitaker did remarkably well as center. It is true that we lost more games tin ' s year than is (jur custom, Init it should be remembered that most of them were with ' . M. C . . teams, composed entirely of professional players. We still hold the unbroken record of never having been defeated on the home floor by any college team. Our eiificiency in this game was shown in the class contests, which, this vear, were more interesting and exciting and aroused more class spirit than was ever before expressed by the student body.

Davis 137 The Ideal Sport CUE men of Wake Forest College indultje in all sorts of athletics. Some forms, however, are very severe, and often tax the nerves and consti- tutions of tlie participants beyond reason. These are. football and some phases of field athletics. But there are other exercises which are very easy and require only the slightest energy to perform them as some few fellows do. These are those perfunctory calisthenics, so often reluctantly performed by many of the boys in gymnasium. A happy meilium between these two extremes comes a most satisfactory game — Tennis. It is being realized more and more that it is not the severest exercises that liuilil up and fit us for college duties or for services in life ; but the kind that keeps us in good physical trim and symmetrically develops our bodies, should, and does take a more prominent place in our thou.ghts of physical and mental develop- ment. Without depreciating any of the other forms of college athletics, it is not too much to say, that, the all-round game for anyone, whether Freshman or Senior, Lawyer or Doctor, Preacher or Y. M. C. A. Secretary, Student or Faculty, Weakling or Athlete, is Tennis; a sport in which all may take part and find recreation and development for both mind and body. n(jt to be found anywhere else, and have fun equally to that of a mid-summer hay ride. The State Track Meet CHE lirsl Ncirtli Carolina hUrr-C ' iilk ' .yiali ' Track Meet was very success- fully held in Greensbonj. N. C, on the igth of April, igog. The Univer- sity, A. anu M., Guilford, Davidson and Wake F ' oresl were all ably represented, and the contest was exceedingly interestin,g from the first crack of the pistol until the last man crossed the tape. Enthusiasm and college spirit bubbled over. Time and again deafening yells rent the great auditorium as their favorite emerged victorious. Wake Forest had few supporters, but these were of that undying faith and grit that characterizes Wake Forest men, and the only logical result was for her to win the loving cup, put up by the Chamber of Commerce. This she did in great style with a margin of eight points. There were not particular stars, but each man did hard persistent work. Besides the handsome loving cup, individuals won medals also kindly preseiited by the Chamber of Commerce. First place men, or those establishing the State Colle- giate record, were awarded gold medals, second place silver, and third bronze. Wake Forest won two first places, five seconds and five thirds, making an aggre- 140 gate of thirty-five points. The other teams made: Guilford, twenty-seven; University, twenty-five; Davidson, sixteen, and A. and M., eleven. The Meet at Greensboro was the greatest athletic event that has ever been pulled off in North Carolina. It was viewed by more than four thousand people, and a more enthusiastic crowd has never been gathered together. Wake Forest had no coach as some of the other teams had, yet they won the cup. They had fewer men in the meet, and yet they won. This is a fair illustration of her indomitable determination. SUMMARY First Places — ICO- Yard hurdle — Highs.mith. F. Time. 15 seconds.

So the men of the land harkened unto his messengers, and on September the eighth of this year, nineteen-nine, which was the day for all to come unto him, t ' ley numbered three hundred and sixty strong of the men of the land. And on this day each man went unto Eamshaw, a disciple of William Louis, and gave him gifts according to his possessions. On the next day which was the ninth of the month, they were all gathered in one house, and there William Louis looked upon them and was pleased. He commanded that everyone come to this house (chapel) every day thereafter, that he might praise them according to their works. And while they were to- gether in this house, he divided them into four classes, according to the number of years each had been with him. The first he called Seniors, for their stay was four j-ears; the second Juniors, for their stay was three years; the third Sopho- mores, for their stay was two years; and the fourth Freshmen, for their stay was one year. And then he called his helpmates, who numbered eighteen strong. They were: Charles E., the son of Taylor; William B., the son of Royall; Luther R., the son of Mills; Benjamin F., the son of Sledd ; Charles E., the son of Brewer; John P., the son of Lanneau ; John B., the son of Carlyle; Xeedham Y., the son of Gulley: J. Hendren, the son of Gorrell; Willis R., the son of CuUom; E. Walter, the .son of Sykes; James L., the son of Lake; John B,, the .son of Powers; Edgar E., the son of Stewart; J. Henry, the son of Highsmith; George W.. the son of Paschal; Edgar W., the son of Timberlake and J. Richard, the son of Crozier. And they were divided among these to be taught according to their teaching. But to J. Richard, the son of Crozier, he commanded them all to go. thai he mi.ght select a baseball, football, basket ball and track team, to battle with other teams. And J. Richard ' s selection was good, for his teams conquered other teams. And then Jones of the land of Union and Johnson of the land of Sampson were selected to battle with other nations with their tongues; so on the twenty- fifth of November of this year, they %vent into the land of Virginia, and did con- quer it with their tongues. And William Louis was greatly pleased thereby. As the days passed. William Louis had wise men from all the regions round about to come and talk to them. And this was good for they did learn much thereby. 159 On the fifth of November of this year, 1 909, six of the Seniors did speak before William Louis and his helpmates concerning what they had been taught. And William Louis and his helpmates were pleased thereby. During the early part of William Louis ' s reign, all was chaos, and darkness reigned in Wake Forest; but on the eleventh of October, William Louis said: Let there be light, and there was light, and the boys saw the light that it was good. And so they gathered themselves together, all with one accord at Feed ' s corner, and from ' Jicnce ihey marched to the home of William Louis and his helpmates and received from them speeches on the advent of light. On November twentieth, one Tom Osborne, a student of William Louis, desiring to have some fun, deliberately put red paint on his forehead, took his pistol, fired it, and fell heavily to the floor like one dead. Accordingly the boys rushed in and there was wailing and gnashing of teeth. And the report spread immediately throughout all the college that Tom had committed suicide, and the doctors came to administer unto liim, but behold, he rose up, and they all re- joiced because he whom they thought dead was alive. And so they grew day by day in favor with William Louis and his help- mates, and waxed strong according to their teachings. It was agreed that, from the thirteenth to the twenty-second of December of this year, each man should be questioned concerning his past work. So it was done, that which had been agreed upon, and each man was praised according to his work. After this, they were allowerl to return to their people, and tell them con- cerning William Louis ' teachings. But he commanded that each one return unto him by the fourth of January, in the new year of his reign, igio. And some went to their people joyful, because they could tell much con- cerning the teaching of William Louis; but others were sorrowful, for they lacked in his teachings. And this is the first chronicle of the fourth year of the reign of William Louis, the son of Poteat. Being from the eighth of September, igoq, to the fourth of January, iqio. in the year of our Lord. 160 Resolutions Whereas, we the Faculty of Wake Forest College, having found among the students of this year fountains of learning of inestimable value: Therefore, be it Resolved — First — That we submit and own up our ignorance before such arc lights as these.

If I had received a communication from Mars. I couldn ' t have been more surprised. Me. Stanley Wilson, belter known as ' Stumpy, ' to play in the big game! i ' nur years on the squad and a suit at last! By George, I ' ll show ' cm that I liaven ' l practised all this time for nothing! said I to myself, as I made a dash lor the bath-house, nearly running over Snippv in my haste. Hey, there, mind where you plant those number tens of yours, he growled. But I didn ' t care what he or anybody else said; I was thinking of that suit with the ' Varsity letters on it and of the big game — the game which we had rather win than all the others. I didn ' t care if I was just a sub, I was happy. + ■ The grandstand was a.glow with waving pennants and colors as we ran out to take infield practice. I felt mighty proud of my suit, and, yes, T did catch a glimpse of her and tipped my cap to her. too. Oh, she was a peach, but Jim Crowell was with her and that took all the pleasure out of the glimpse for me. Jim was a football hero and I was just a sub. She had been going with Jim a whole lot of late, and— well, I just figured it was down and out for me. I never was much of a ladies ' man, anyhow. Somehow or other. I never hail really liked any girl but her, and now another fellow hacl stepped in and my little dream had all gone to smash. What are you standing there for. like a dummy? Didn ' t you sec that ball was yours ' Get this one. yelled the coach, and 1 immediately forgot all else but baseball. The game was called and the Farmers took the field. The mighty Har- mon was on the mound. Three men fanned the air in quick succession before him, and something like a sigh went up from our part of the grandstand, while the bleachers rejoiced in unmistakable glee. I wanted to get into the .game terribly bad, but I was onlv a suli, so I sat on the bench and waited— waited ; for liadn ' t the coach said he might have to use me? A hit! And Sandy ' s missed it. Won ' t he ever pick it up ' Oh, Lord, the man ' s coming in home. Throw it, throw it! Too late, he ' s in. The score stood one to nothing. Two men fanned and we were at the bat again, I O Bob. the first man up, got a single: Cloddy sacrificed and Bob went to second; Red was safe on first, hit by pitched ball; Henry came up amid a perfect roar of yells, but fouled ball to catcher and was out ; Phil failed to connect and the side was retired. We missed the chance. There was nothing doing in the scoring line until the seventh inning, when we got a run on an error and tied, one to one. We saw visions of victory then, hut only for a Uttle while, for the Farmers ran in two runs in the last half, making the score read, three to one. Xothing doing in the eighth. The ninth, and our last chance to win the game. Could we do it? Red is the first man up. Lucky stars, he ' s got a hit and is safe on first; Ohver out to shortstop but Red has stolen second; Henr - safe on a bunt; Phil out to right field ; two men on bases and two down. If we could just get a hit. Here, Stanley, bat for WaddeU and hit the ball. Do you hear? Swat it. Hear? I reckon I did hear, and I determined right then and there to hit that ball or die in the attempt. My chance had come at last, and I felt as con- fident of making it good as I did of eating supper. I glanced up at the grand- stand and saw just one particular pennant wa nng frantically and above aU the din of yells. I seemed to hear just one voice. Hit it ? Why. I couldn ' t do any- thing else. I toed the plate and let the first ball go by. St — r — ike one. bawled the umpire. Guess I ' U hit the ne.xt one. thought I to myself, so I braced for a good hefty swing and St — r — ike two. called the umpire in a tone that grated on my nerves. The bleachers went wild. Well, I li-ill hit the next one. said I. and gripped the bat a little tighter. I watched Harmon nod his head to the catcher and wondered what kind of ball he was going to throw. I watched him as he wound up and then — • I was running like mad to first. The bleachers were silent. ■ Keep on ' round, you hit it to the fence, ' yelled the coach from the side line. To the fence ' . Oh, didn ' t those words sound good to me. First was passed, and I was tearing toward second. Biff! Second basemen tried to block me, but got knocked up a bit. Rvm ' Stumpy. ' Come on to third. I heard some one yell. The two men on bases must have scored, thought I, and we are even. If I could only make it home. Third is passed. Run ' Stumpy, ' run. You ' re almost in. My feet weighed tons and my chest was bound with steel, but I ran. Quick, slide, that ' s the boy, and then aU was confusion. The game was ours— the big game, and I had won it. Yes— that yell was for me. Stumpy. the sub, and it made me feel good. But when 1 saw her clapping her hands and waving at me. I was transported to the seventh heaven of delight. 171 Jim is not the only ' hero ' now, said I to myself. Stanley, you ' re a brick; that hit was great, said the coach as he .grasped my hand. The boys almost knocked the breath out of tiie with their hearty slaps of congratulation, but I felt all the joy of victory in my heart. What did it matter now if I flunked on all my Exams? I was a hero and she ' ' was proud of me. Oh, I was happy as I ran to tlie bath-house with the fellows ■ : The nice, warm water felt so good.l just wanted to stay under it but the boys kept calling to me to hurry up. Somehow, I didn ' t want to hurry. Ough, somebody turned on the cold water. I reached out to turn it off — Ilellii. wliai ' s this on my arm what ' s the matter this rooin my head where . Don ' t talk now. Your head is hurt, and you are in tlic hospital, I heard someone say. But where are the fellows? Where — what ? A pain darted through my temple and I lay back down wondering. Good morning, Mr, Wilson, how are you feeling? I o]iencd my eyes and was astonished to see Dr. Rogers standing by -yes, by mv cot. I felt of my liead and found it all bandaged up. I looked around the room. There was mi mistaking. I was in the hospital! Still I couldn ' t understaml it all. Then 1 noticed the morning paper in the hand of Dr. Rogers and asked him for it. He lianded it to me and propped me up so I could read. I turned with feverish basic to the Sporting Page. This is what I saw in big black letters: FARMERS WIN ANNUAL | EASTER GAME.

So I didn ' t knock that home-run after all. but got hit myself. I reckon I ' m just a bonehead that ' s all there is to it. Lost the game! A big lump came up in my throat and — I couldn ' t help it. but my eyes got just a little moist too. I turned over and buried my face in the pillow. Mr. Wilson here is something for you. I looked up and saw the nurse holding a huge bunch of violets. I took them, hardly knowing what I did. I had lost the game, so what need did I have for flowers? You might see whom they are from, said the nurse. I pulled out the little card which had just one corner showing and read: To Mr. Stanley Wilson, From Margaret T — With love and best wishes. With love and best wishes, I murmured softl - to myself. The morning sunlight stole softly into my room and kissed the violets in my hand. A mocking bird in the elm by my window caroled sweetly to his mate, and I was happy. ARTHUR B. RAY. J 74 g Some Other Day now — some other day.

I have been making resolutions all day. Cut it ' s a strange thing how you meet folks and love them and feel that bv some mystic chord your hearts are bound together, but at the same time, feel that there is a nameless something lacking that torments you and causes vou to feel that all the time you are making an eternal mistake. Well, that is just how I have come to feel about May, and I am making some resolutions to-day. 1 am going to change my way of doing or I ' ll shuffle off tliis nuirtal coil trying. Uillie. said I, you seem desperate! I am desperate, or rather desperately in earnest. 1 don ' t think I ' m quite ready to quit this stage yet, Stee, but listen: From this dav on, ( iod being my helper, I ' ll be a man. I shift my sails, for I feel that even now tlio veering winds sliift. May and I are no more from this day. We walked then from the dusky room to stroll about the campus, which, owing to the weather, was quiet. As we walked on toward the main entrance! the fresh air seemed to invigorate Billie. and with a more cheerful mien than he had been able to command before, and with an expression of relief which is apparent only after a long and severe anxiety, he asked : What are you going to do this summer? Why, I have decided, Billie, to spend a part of the summer at Xorthtield. I want to get the benefit of the Bible Lecture Course there. I replied. Vou may think I am not only a fool. Stee, but crazy as well, but wliy can ' t I go with you? Do tliey let everybody come there that wants to? I assured him that he could go, that it was a fine place for anybody to spend a few weeks, and urged him to go with me, and I confess, very much to my surprise, Billie put his arm around my shoulder and said : Stee, I ' m no preacher, and don ' t know what I ' ll do up there among so many of you, but I ' m going! We arrived at Northfield June 28th. The leading preachers and ministerial students of the country were there. Billie was much impressed with the moral atmosphere of tlie place. lie did imt regisler for work, but attended the lectures, and often spoke of the great value 1 such a course. However, Billie did not go there for work and never attempted to appear anything but just what he was — a rich young man of the best type. He loved to wear smart clothes and take life easy. This he did at Northfield. He had a big. lovable and loving heart, and he had to have a lady to love. He was lonesome and lonely. There was at Xorthfield a charming young lady, who rode horseback every afternoon, whom ilillie had seen and whose name lie had learned, but whuni he had not met. I was sitting in one of the summer houses on Summit Drive one day as I ' lillie came dnwn tnward me in his white walking slippers, duck pants and cap — ih-essecl for the evening stmll. just then the young lady, beautiful and graceful, in one of the smartest et neatest riding suits seen that season, right by her- self, rode by — and, whether by chance, accident, providence or momentary pal- pitation of the heart and consequent nervousness, she dropped her riding whip. Billie returned it. I saw it all. I shall never forget it. Ijillie, with a smile all over his face, came on and fell down by my side on the seat, and said : Stee, I ' m gone! I ' m crazy over that girl! She is to be my wife! I ' m going to get Dr. I! to introduce uic b her tn-night! She was the daughter of Dr. .M , one of the greatest preachers of his ilay — a powerful man of international fame. Billie talked much about her. Ik- philosophized about her greatness and her excellence. Yes, he dreamed, he said, of a day when his own w ' eak, wandering life should twine about hers and he should be the man he so much desired to be. On the other baud, from what ainieareil later. Miss M was (h-eaniiug of a different day — a day when slie slmuld be married to Billie, the iiung millionaire, and should be free from the superabundance of religion with which she was gorged all her life, and should have lier natural course gadding in the gayest circles, autoing. yachting and everything her heart could desire and wealth could give. By and by they were wed — and before tliey knew each other ' s heart, h ' or a month they spent their time in the far South. But we must drop the curtain. Life to neither was what either e.xpecteil. How could they be hajjpy ! But in all this Billie was sane and felt that it was yet to be all right. But. to put the wh(jle tragedy in a word: One day when Billie was away, his wife invited some of her new society lady friends to ride with her in lier auto, and the half-amateur chauffeur, while driving at a terrific speed along the popular drive-way in the city, wrecked the car and everyone was seriously injured, and Mrs. W was taken up almost lifeless. Wlicn ISillie arrived on a special train she was dead. Two years later I was spending a few days at a modest little summer watering place in Billie ' s native State. It had became known that B)illie had decided to give up business and enter tlie ministry. I picked up the morning 178 Ijaper the second day I was there and nr.tieed that he had hecn called to the pastorate of Central Church of . and would enter upon his work about ten days later. I handed the paper to May. who chanced to be there at the Spring. She had grown a trifle stouter than she was three years before, when I saw her at the Commencement, when Billie took his M. A. degree, and. somehow, she had grown in charm, till, to put it strongly, she seemed surrounded with a veritable halo of heavenl lieauty. I knew she had become quite active in churcii circles since I first saw her. .At am rate. 1 thought she would be interested in the item, and I wanted to see her when she read it. Now, more singular than anything connected with the whole sK.rv. next morning, when I went in to breakfast, whom should I see but Billie ! I fairly leaped toward him! I couldn ' t wait. I told him May was there and was as prett)- as could be I Billie was speechless ! I waited to see what would happen. On the following Sunday afternoon I was seated on a rustic down toward the spring, behind a big cluster of honeysuckles and rose bushes, reading ' .i li..,,k-, uhen I heard -rimehrMlv walkin P tmvard :. :;:.t:. ;,,; .„ ,,„ „,„„. ,„, „ j, , , , ,,j .hrubberv bv which I was seated. I recognized Billies and Mavs voices. Thev were talkin- about the flowers and the premises in general wlien thev first sat down, but soon the conversation changed. .Amid a rustle of paper, as of the opening of a letter Billie said : I have something here you will be more than surprised to see. I know ' • Dear me I exclaimed May. Do you k-now what it is? ' asked Billie. •I— think— I— do ! What— have you kept that letter? Mv heart was nearer to breaking when that letter was written than ever in nn- life. I wouldn ' t go through with such an experience again for a world I Then I suspected it was a letter Ma - had written about three vears before- and, sure enough. Billie confirmed my suspicion when he tenderlv and with a world of affection- said : 179 May, God only know how I have felt a thousand times as I have thought of this letter ! I told you in the one to wliifh tliis is the reply that my plans and purposes were sucli that we could never be anything more than friends, and vou see what you wrote : We plan — and plan : ' This shall be so and so, ' ' This shall I do ' and ' thither shall I go. ' Yet as the hours shape themselves to days, We tread not in those same self-chosen ways; Our feet are led ' long paths we had not guessed. And lo! we liml those newer paths are best. ' I thouglit then you were writing for yourself — to express what you felt in your own case, but, May, 1 have felt a tliousand times, 1 reckon, tliat I had chosen my own ways and that 1 made tlie mistake of mv life in clioosing the way I did I Oh, P.illie, it was hard for me tc.) write that. 1 copied it because I felt that all my jjlans and ambitions were crushed, and I was trying to bring myself to believe in a kind Providence that would take care of poor me ! Well, Afay, ever since I parted from you, it seems that my paths liave been ill-starred. m know how it has been. May, think not strange, I have kept this letter written by you through it all ; yes, through it all. Do you recall these words : ' Be happy. Be useful. Above all, be good. We ' re God ' s. Some day we ' ll be happy. . nd now, my dear, dear love, farewell; my dear, true friend, good-bye ' ? After a considerable little pause. May s])oke with a broken voice, revealing her emotion, and said : ' e , those words came up from the depths of my soul, and every letter was written with a drop of my heart ' s blixid, fur it was bleeding! And do you recall these in regard to the ring : ' I must remove it. I ' m going to keep it a little while for this reason, though : i ' ou know, the folks all know how I received it, and as it lias never been off my hnger since i u placed it on. someone would be sure to notice its ab.sence, and 1 could not bear pmbing (piestions and pitying glances now. Oh, it ' s liard, hard, s,, liard I Later 1 shall kiss the little thing good-bye and send it to you. for I think I should ' ? ' es, Billie, indeed 1 recall very, very distinctly how it seemed my heart woidd break sure enough when I thought of taking that precious, sweet, darling little thing from mv finger. 1 felt then life would never, never be any more pleasure to me. I recall now how thoughts, even nf death, were sweet to me, though now 1 blush at tlic very remembrance. lUU 1 felt 1 never would get over it. Oh, it was so hard ! Billie did not speak immediately. There was a total silence for a minute. After awhile I heard a rustic; then llillie cleareil his voice to speak, and I knew I So he liail taken hi handkerchief from W puckct and was doubtless wiping many tears, for wlien he spoke, each word was with effort to suppress his emotion. Well. May — I have no words to express my regret that I chose the course I did. I have always felt that it was my worst mistake. I was too determined to have my way. But. May. I have found that His ways are best. I have for these three years, tried to ' be liapjiy, be useful, and above all, be good, ' May, but I have made a failure — without you ! God in heaven knows I have made a failure without you! Can you forgive me now. May, my own dear May; and will you take back this ring again with all m - heart and all I am and can ever hope to be, and help me as only you can to be happy, useful and good? I have scarcely anything to add. It is now fifteen years since I heard the foregoing words behind the rose bush and honeysuckle. Soon afterward ESillie and May were married. Billie has always done a good work, and has recently been justly honored with the degree of D. D. by his Alma ]Mater; four fine children are growing up like olive plants around his table, and if ever any mortals were happy, useful and good. Doctor W and his devoted wife are, and their fame has gone tliroughout the land. E. D.

He knew strawberries were being taken from his garden without recompense, and his vines were being trampled in a very careless manner. So he set a negro to watch tlie patch on the hillside, near the woods, just after twilight. The boys saw this as it was being done, and consequently avoided being caught that night. The next night they resolved to try their heretofore good hick. Mott took a big shoe-box. Rod a large paper bag. Remington was to ]iick. while Lowe carried the toy magic lantern, which they used for a light, for onlv a small, round ray of light was let out, so that it conld be seen by no one except the boys. Tripping down the hill and jumping the little stream, they went up the hill in the edge of the wxids. Then, part of tlie bovs climbing over the plank gate and the rest crawling under the barbed wire, thcv stopped in tlie edge of the patch to take observance. Xn imc a-- seen i r heanl. I. owe lighted the lantern; they stepped into the patch and threw the ra nf light on the large, red strawber- ries around their feet. Look at that man, said Remington. Mott and Rod raised from their stooped pusitidus, limked and stood. Lowe, seeing tlie man crouche l on the ground aliout five yards above them, turned the light frcMii that direction. .Simultaneously the four boys began to slowl - back off towards the edge of the patcli. Then, turning round, they dashed forward into the bushes and barbed wire, Lowe blowing out the light as be jumped. One of the boys crawded, or rather rolled, under the wire, leaving a piece of his coat-tail on a barb ; one clambered over the high gate, and the others forgot how they got through the fence. Lowe ran about twenty yards into the woods and sto|i]ied 1)eliind a pine tree, still hugging the little lantern. Mott lay as still as dew on the cold ground just through the fence, and swore that he was lying at the head of an unknown fellow, whom he could even hear breathing. Rod got tangled in some grapevines, and like a bird in a net, gave up and listened for the gun to fire. Remington stumbled over someone just over the fence, fell. 184 regained Iiis feet, and liastene l to get behind a tree opposite the man in the patch. Xot one knew where was a single companion. They trembled and held their breaths, e. pecting to be grabbed or to be filled w-ith birdshot at any second. Ten minutes passed and not a sound was heard. All at once Mott broke out down the hill, among the trees, towards the stream. Rod. recognizing Mott s voice as he said, Come on, boys, disentangled himself and hastened over to Mott. Remington and Lowe followed, tripping through the bushes. Bo3-s, let ' s go to our rooms in a hurry. Tliere are two fellows lying in the bushes where I lay, said Mott. And I stumbled over another! said Remington. Next morning at the breakfast table, Mott heard Big Paul. Henry Watts and two other boys relate their e.xperience in Forepaw s strawberry patch and in the edge of the woods. Rig Paul told how someone flashed a light in his eyes after the other boys had hidden in the bushes, and how he had sworn to stay there even if there were an army approaciiing. Watts, how someone had almost broken his ribs as he ran over him ; and the others, how .someone had laid near them, daring them to move. These two companies formed a monopoly, and resolved hereafter to go together. LOWELL HAVXES. 185 o The Fisherman ' s Luck NE lovfly eve in May I sat alone, concealed in willows, And bobbed my hook this way And that among the nibbling minnows. Sometimes a fairy lioat Composed of bloom and broken branches. WouM by me swiftly float And toss like tiny avalanches. The dull and distant roar Of rapids, thundered through the stillness, Whence mellow sweetness bore Its sounds from hollows dark and gildless To cloudless, lucent skies. And near me grew in modest patches A bloom like Flora ' s eyes. Whence came a warbler ' s song in catches.

Ian. 28. 1910 John Martin Crenshaw CHE death of Major John M. Crenshaw at his home near Wake Forest in January 28, lyio. removes from us a pillar of our social fab ric, a gentleman of noble type, a gentle man. venerable and beloved. He was bom July 25, 1822. and was, therefore, in the eighty-eighth year of his age. His father. William Crenshaw, was one of the charter members of the Board of Trustees of Wake Forest College and the Board ' s first Treasurer. In the early days of its history, when the brand of poverty was on its brow and existence meant struggle, the College in its need had in this Trustee and first Treasurer a friend indeed. It is thus with more than ordinary interest that we contemplate the fact that seventy-six years ago John M. Crenshaw, the son of this true and loyal trustee, wrote his name as the first matriculate of the College. He was also the first student of the College to join, of his own volition, either of the literary societies. The affection he maintained through life for his society, the Philomathesian, was beautifully evinced in the request made months before his death that the society should bury him. The spirit in which this request was received was shown in the impressive and sympathetic way in which it was car- ried out on January 29th, when he was laid at rest in the old family cemetery. After several years of student life Major Crenshaw be.gan a business career, the principal sphere of which was the farm, though for a considerable time he was also a prosperous merchant. In i860 he was married to Mrs. Louisa J. Nor- man, who was of an old and honorable family, and who survives him. In his manner of life Major Crenshaw furnished a fine illustration of that type of living which in recent years has been winning more and more the admira- tion of thoughtful people. It was the typical simple life that he lived. I once heard him say that it was very hard for him to have patience with, or respect for, one who abused God-given powers. Extravagant indulgence of the appetite, unwise eating and drinking, and recourse to physic to heal the outraged functions of the body he regarded as simply criminal. Loyalty to these convictions, no doubt, had much to do with his reaching the remarkable age to which he attained. Major Crenshaw was deeply interested in things intellectual and moral. He was a reader of books, a friend and patron of education. In a conversation with a friend about a year a.go he said that the Bible, Shakespeare, Addison and Bums, furnished the pabulum that most pleased and satisfied him. He was in sympathy with every movement that had for its aim the better- ment of civil and social conditions. He was Vice-President from its organization of the North Carolina Agricultural Society and for one year its President. He considered it his duty to attend all of its meetings and took a prominent part in everv State Fair. He was a firm believer in ihe pciwer iif the Gospel of Jesus Christ and in many wa -s demonstrated this. While we lament the fact that he never joined the church, we rejoice to believe that in the depths of his soul there was a saving sense of the love of God in Christ Jesus. Some months ago a young ministenal student was serving for a season the old church that Major Crenshaw loved and to whose maintenance he as regularly contributed as if he had been a member of it. A godly kinswoman was speaking to him of the young preacher one Sat- urday morning just before leaving his home for the monthly Saturday service. He placed in her hand a little parcel to be delivered to the preacher with the re- quest that he would use it in any way that would help him to preach the Gospel to the sinners of the community. On opening the parcel the young man found a twenty-dollar gold piece. Acts of this kind were not exceptional with him, but he shrank from ostentation and suifered not his left hand to know what his right hand did. He honored integrity of character and genuine worth whether their possessor was rich or poor, young or old. Of one of the most unpretentious and simple- hearted men I ever knew Major Crenshaw used to say: He is a perfect Chester- field ; one of God ' s noblemen. In the closing months of his life he was often found with the Book of Books in his hands and his tributes to its majestic worth rang very clear. A few days before the end came, on being asked about a matter upon which it was desired that lie should express himself, he said: I will try to let you know about it; I am prayerfully considering it. The last words I ever heard from the lips of my venerated friend were: God bless you! Wake Forest, N. C. V. H. HoVALL 190 STUDENT EDITORS The College Senate This is the second year of the Senate at Wake Purest. The results have been even better this year than last. And within a few more years, we believe that this method will be the cause of the final expulsion of hazing from this college. The duty of the Senate is to decide all matters relative to college discipline among the students. The accused may appeal to the Faculty, but as a rule the findings of the Senate will be considered as final. The following gentlemen are members: R. L. McMii.L.w, Chairman H. B. Jones J. L. Jenkins R. E, FoREH. ND V. B. ) SU:A. S. C. W00D. RD C. T. MURCHISON Cn. s. Vernon r;. G. IviE Editorial OUR work is ended. Over it we have spent many long but interesting himrs. With little experience and our very limited funds we have done ' jur best, and we therefore present without apology the results of our labors. We have striven to make the book a faithful and impartial presenta- tion of college life, not as it should be but as it is, in all its phases and activities. If we have failed in this respect the fault lies not wholly with us; with a few exceptions we have received no contributions whatever from the student body. If the Howler is to be representative of every phase of college life it must be supported by the students. It could not be expected for a small handful of editors to represent the whole student body. Two explanations are due here. It is not the fault of the editors that the Varsity basket ball team does not appear in the annual, for they did all they could to get a picture, but one was never taken ; neither is it their fault that there were not more clubs used, as some of the largest and best clubs were taken, but through some mistake of the photographer the plates were doubly exposed, and therefore had to be thrown out. To those students and friends who have aided us with C(jntributions we extern! our thanks, especially to A. D. Gore, to whom we are indebted for most cil thf piienis. and to D. F. Smith, who aided much in the art work. All other ciinlnbutions were duly appreciated. We wish also to extend our thanks to those firms who have advertised with us; and now we call upon the boys to patronize these firms. We insist that the preference be given always to them. Finally, if we have said anything that you may think harsh or untrue, remember that the motive was entirely for good. In this work we have labored for your future gratitude rather than present popularity. The work has been hard, the responsibility great, and at times even burdensome, but if, in some future day, some of our fellow students may derive a little jo) ' in looking over this annual, or if a colle.ge chum, tired with the business cares of the world should [jass a few happy moments in company with the results of our efforts, or if some discouraged classmate should be reininded of the numerous students whose good wishes and love he possesses, then we shall feel that our labors have not been in vain, nor our efforts uselessly spent. © 195  - 5 ijt  H.
