During his Freshniaii year he made more speeches in his society than any other three men conihined. Just missing the Freshman Improvement Medal he came back the next year with a dn-or-die expression. Not satisfied with a spt-cch at cxcry meeting he fell in tlie habit of goini; Xn the liall between times and making the curtains trrniliK with his oratory. Consequently, when the Soi)h inn ' ic cm- test came on he had the medal tucked away in his vest pocket and was half way to Raleigh before his astonished opponents recovered their breath. In his Senior year he officiated as First . nniversary De- bater. After packing his diploma d ' lun ni tin.

He has a thousand and one tales, and then some. He can til a ston,- into an occurrence or an occurrence into a stor -, working either way with equal facility. During his career in college he has made a record as a football player, a newspaper reporter, and a lemon-ice orator. He is quite popular among the boys, especially those who l)elieve in rooting. By his enthusiasms on rlie side lines he, as perhaps none other in college could have done, has secured for the college athletic teams much support. He has a most accurate legal mind, and some day when you are in the Supreme Court you may see the solemn judges sitting somnolently while a lawyer drones through his arj ment. Football.

Luther possesses that psychological element which enables him to rank among the highest in his class. Kindly, genial, popular sort of fellow who doesn ' t talk unless he has something to say. He is always regular, and will stand for any length of time with- out hitching. He is a grand commander of the ■ ' Sacred Sense of Duty, is an adroit debater, and custodian of the pass word, By Jukey. It is a favorite observation of his that class work regularity is the secret of success. In society- he has been a faithful worker, and in making grades lew have sur- passed him. After graduating he will go back to Lenwood. and enter upon the duties of his profession, and it is evident that in the near future he will make a reputation as a teacher. Senior Speaker.

This IS one of those hroad-boclied men from the inountanis who grind over textbooks as if that were the sole end of existence, and then go out and sneak up the ladder of fame, two rounds at a time, past men who behaved more sensibly when at college.

He has as large vocabulary as any man in the class, which he has the habit of using when the occasion demands. Grannie also has a serious wav which will mean much to him in after life. His an- cestors for generations before him have been law- yers, and he will follow in their footsteps. Where he will practice law he has not decided, but it is safe to predict that after a few years as a practitioner he will wear the judicial ein-.ine.

He is a ministerial student and withal a man. No man enjoys a joke more than Blevins and his laugh is as well known as his swinging gait.

In 1908 Chief came to us from the wilds .( Warren. This county did well to produce such a lad for he has always been known to be a shark in his books. He is swarthy, black haired and one of the neatest little packages we have in our midst, . s a speaker he has won fame by his drv wit and line common sense. Along with his college work he has gotten off a number of hours of campus. and as a member of the runt quartet he has become dis- tinguished. He has served his sentence of four years uitli pre ■lit, and now holds out his hand for a degree. The pr. per conception of Chief is that he is of rather business-like turn of mind, and we have an idea that he will m.-ike rapid strides toward the i;. al of financial fame. -Associate Editor of Howi.r.K ' 11 ■ T Clas.s.

His ability as a student and an all - ' round college man is shown in the way he has demanded his two degrees in four years. His pro- gress has been rapid and all reports show him to be a fellow of no mean ability. While in college Jack took a leading part in athletics and was very popular with the student body. His place as infielder in baseball could have been tilled l y no other.

This is one of those big phlegmatic, peaceful sort of fellows in whom you instinctively trust and for whose physi()ue it is well to preserve a wholesome respect. Being built on large generous lines it re- quires some considerable outlay of energ - for him to get in motion and Buie abhors any useless expendi- ture of either energy or language. However, if a situation arises requiring immediate and effective action he has a habit of delivering the goods on time. 35 is e ' -idenced by his record on the varsitj- basket-ball team. On the gridiron he hat uphdd the honor of his class on his broad shoulders as if to the manner born. With a dissecting knife and a pair of forceps and a defunct citizen he delights to prove himself a skilled artisan. His business in college has been to study medicine and he has attended strictly to his business. That he has the confidence of his fellow students is shown by his election to the Senate Committee. He will continue his studies in a northern university. Class Baseball, ' 10-11; Class Basket-ball. ' 10-11-12; ' arsity Basket-ball. 11; Captain Junior Basket-ball, 11 ; Senate Committee.

He is a quiet, well-poised person who thinks for Inms-elf and mostly to himself, though he has a well- developed sense of humor which is often in e idence. Everybody who knows him is his friend. The confi- lence of the student body in his ability and integrity was shown in his election to the difficult post of chair- man of the Student Senate.

He liked the place so well that he decided to graduate with his class During his stay here, he has been at all times an ardent admirer of the fair se-x. and much of his time has been spent in the social activities of the college community.

The great Osier, speaking from a medical point of view, says a man is as old as his arteries. Speaking with reference to a man ' s mental development he is as old as his experiences tnake him. If the age of the subject of this sketch were estimated in this way he is easily the oldest man of the class, having pro- gressed well on towards the elderly stage. Since e.irly boyhood he has been dashing around this ball of a world collecting a vast fund of cosmopolitan ex- periences and his college course has been only a brief episode in his life.

A gentleman, the architect of his own for- tunes. Many intricate tasks have fallen to him while in college, but he has handled them skillfully and expeditiously. Due to his vindictive temperament, he has made a great hit by remorselessly pursuing and capturing ads. for the Student. He has shown his talents as a business man in the way he has managed the Student this year.

This we think how- ever has only added to his native strength as has been evidenced by his enviable record in the de- partment of Law. His work here has been splendidly done, and it is through his tireless application, energy, and recognized ability that we get glimpses of the future greatness which awaits him in his chosen profession.

With a genius for practical jokes that some of his victnns have described as liendish, he has a sense of liumc.r surticiciit to cTijny r.iK ' on himself, if any one can scrapL ' up cmiui h ingcnuitv to put one over him. His aliility to rcnK-nihcr baseball scores is the thing that lifts him out of -the unthinking mass. He can recite batting averages by the hour, and give you the number of hits and errors in every game he ever uiM • ■.d. Not only, however, does he witness Lii M . be plays them. He has stood behind the bat 1]] ijiiiiy hard-played games since entering college, and always makes good. In his Senior year he began the study of medicine, and will lie back next year to continue his course. P.a ■10-11; Class F...itball. ' 09-10-11. Senior Class Poem Four years are gone in swiftest flight Each pressing close upon the last, And looking back with wistful eyes Upon the changeless course, now passed. Four years, each bound with friendship ' s steel, And each aroused with varied strife; Each torn with struggles, joys, pains; Each vibrant with abounding life. In silence deep they fade away. At length they seem forever flown; The afterglow of past events Behind their vanished form is thrown. Four years of Alma Mater ' s care. And now Life ' s trumpet calls to place With tingling nerves and muscles tense Each man leaps forward to his race. Will Life, with doubtful purpose, throw Its golden frauds before our eyes? Shall we, like Atalanta, pause. And let a rival win the prize? Senior Class History Srutrd oiii- niijh t by the fircsiilc. I Ik ' US weary and ill al case. . I ml iii mind was wandcriny idly ( ' : ' rr z ' K iOK.c class Iiistarics. aw AKINii ivnm this lethargy, I iL-monihcred that a heterogeneous iiiaN cii |.rotoi)lasm was iinloadeil at Wake I ' urest in the fall of 1 ' OS. Anil soon this human incongruity was organized at Holding ' s .Mill r.iii.l a the l reslinian Class. We considered ourselves exceedingly for- tunate that we x ere unmolested on this occasion by the all-wise ami omni- present So|ihom( jres. I ' .iit these monarchs moiirned bitterly that they had been outwitted by their new subjects, for they had expected to f.irce us to an early and disorderly ;idjonrnment. ilaxing emerged from ■Xewishilom, we were permitted to enter the Sophomorical realms. In this new field of opp, .rttmities we attempted, as we then thought, some much-needed reforms. In order to bring about this refor- mation carious organizations were necessary: we ado]ited the traditional Newish whistle, the luasquerade drama, followed by the introduction of other chill ' -, . niong the scenes presented by these clubs wa one in which a maskeil actor was remlered uucoiisciouN, or rather brought to his senses by a se ere chair landiasting, an effect contrary to that imposed by the magic wand of t ' onuis. . s a result of this unsuccessful attenijit at blacking a different remedy for the maladx , freshne ' -s, was deenieil ex]iedieut ; and consequently, itinerant barber shops, like thos,c in Don Quixote, were e-stablished ; and as an advertiseiuent for the new establishiuent, hair cuts xvere free at night; Init the patrons iroiu disgust, jirobably due to the fact that the work was hurriedly done, declared that they would neyer a.gaiii take advantage of barber work for which no charge v as made. This being the year of i.lk-ucss and insomnia, ye loafed by day and w.irried the campus by night. i ' ractical jokers ami kleptomaniacs prominent in all second-year classes were not wanting in this Class. ( )ik- night when the darkness was deep and the coinnumity was buried in sleep, the pilfering pro- pensities innate iu snnie members of hi Class were gratified when they stealthily entered the President ' s barnyanl, procured, and a little later chap- elled, his co y for religious instruction. W ill] the advent oi our Junii r year we. limkiny forward t the termiiiatinn ipf cmr cullege career, began tn assnme dignity: yet the I ' aculty kept us con- tinuimslv to the grindstone, lest we should think nmre highly of cmrselves than we ought to think. They have uncereniciuiously refused every petition with which we have honored them. Alarmed at our social tendencies, they united with Dame Tradition to keep us from feasting. However, repealing this unwritten law, the Faculty granted us the privilege of having a bani|uet and perpetrated toasts and other things on that occasion. The Chair of iiible favored us with a genuine ji ke. This was tlie tirst event of its kind in the history of the college. In some respects this was our best year of college life; for as Freshmen we suffered at the hands of the Sophomores: during our second year we lost much time in educating the Freshmen : and as Seniors we were too busy for anything except wondering if our names would be written there. In our Senior year we began the study of moral philosophy; but because of the loss of sleep, religion, and temper, we decided to dub it immoral phi- losophy. Because of our ability, keen sense of perception, misrepresentation, and imagination, both constructive and very simple, the venerable i ' rofessor pronounced us the best class in psychology that he had ever had. With the spring term was ushered in logic, with its undistributed middle and epichei- rema. Suffice it to apply the old proverb. I ' ride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. College students usually fall into three groups: first, the good-timers; second, the get-through-by-the-skin-of-their-teethers : and third, the get-all- they-canners. The Faculty ranked us in the first two classes, while we claimed the honor and distinction of being in the third — a great shock of difference. In the history of this Class there have been three famous marches, prob- ably less famous than Sherman ' s or Xenophon ' s March to the sea. These marches were; namely, first, the political march, when Dr. Sikes, the Senator elect, was drawn and followed by a yelling mob of students to different parts of the tow n and finallj- to the bonfire, where he favored us w-ith his speech. Victoria ; second, the athletic march, when Phil Utley was carried from the field after a star play on the football team ; and third, last, and best, the matri- monial march. On the fifteenth of October it was reported that one of our number had successfully captivated one from among the fairer sex of Durham, and that the bride and groom would arrive on train Xo. 38 the next day. In order to give them a royal reception the classes of that hour were suspended, recitation rooms w ere left vacant, and the entire student body assembled at the station to await their arrival, . fter the train had left, the President of the Ci ' llege introduced to us Mr. and .Mrs. O ' l ' .rian. who bowed as thougli they 59 we-rc in the ])rL-si.-ncc nf an I ' .u ' vptian i|iK ' L-n.

I ' Urian ' s face lighted up the darkened earth and so dazzled the entire student hi Illy that the electric light plant, which had hefore been adequate, seemed dim by comparison, They were hauled to their future home in a bridal coach decked with old gold and black. This matrituonial disease be- came conta.gious. and CMnsei|uently another nf dur numtjer, Sidney A. Edger- ton. sticcunibed tn the cunning darts ni ( ' upid. This conta.gion. moreover, was not ciintined tn the . enior Class. The Senior Class of 1 ' ' 1J lias nut as yet turned iiut a Tliomas Dixon or a Jnhn Charles McNeill, luit it has taken part in all cnllege activities from plac- ing a chair on the water tank, furnishing men in intercollegiate debates, in baseball, in fnntball. and in basket-ball, in which we won the interclass cham- pionshi]) (. f I ' dl, and received from the athletic association a loving cup as a prize. We also had the distinction nf bringing back to Wake Forest the greatest of all college sports, football. Since then we ha e witnessed many battles, liard fought by the pigskin chasers on the gridiron; and we are glad tii sav that the efficienex ' of the team has increaseil in geometrical progression during these few years. hrom the foregoing facts it may be seen how we ha e been molded in the crucible oi college life.

Senior Class Prophecy a [.AS. how often we stand iniconsciously on the l)rink of a langeroiis precipice, when in a moment more, one person, or even a hundred, would be hurled to destruction! The Senior Class was in just such a predicament when it was saved by the merest accident. Could one imagine anything worse than for seventy-five men to go out from their Alma Mater to drift aimlessly on the stream of time without their future ever having been foretold ? Yet this fate was staring my beloved classmates in the face : for having spent days reading after the prophets of old. I gained no inspiration, nor did anv of the mysteries surrounding t4ieir future life clear away. But happily for all this calamity was averted. One afternoon, when the days had lengthened and the warm sunshine had enticed me from my books out into the balmy air, a hunter came hurr ing along through the woods with his countenance beaming like that of Columbus when he first beheld a new continent stretched out before his eyes. I saw- that he was eager to relate something, so I accosted him and was soon engaged in conversation with him. After answering a few questions I put to him con- cerning his game, he told me of a remarkable place he had found in the forest where it seemed to be raining all the time although not a sign of a cloud ap- peared in the sk -. I asked him to guide me to the place, but he utterly re- fused, pretending to be in too big a hurr)- : but he pointed out the way so clearly that I had very little difficulty in finding the place. Turning aside from the road I was following. I had gone about a mile when I came upon a dense thicket of bushes grown to the height of eight or ten feet, and strangely enough, these bushes were as wet as if a shower of rain had just fallen upon them, yet I knew it had not rained for three days. Amazed at this phenom- enon. I determined to investigate further and solve, if possible, this puzzling mysterj ' . Parting the undergrowth right and left I squirmed my way into the middle of the clump of bushes, where I found an open space and in the ground at my feet two rocks which came nearly together so that there was left a ver - small opening. Out of the opening there issued a kind of vapor and entered my nostrils as a sweet savor. I was wondering at this and was about to turn and flee when suddenly the earth gave away beneath my feet and I fell heavily for nearlv twelve feet into a heap of sand. I was not hurt, but greatly terrified. Ouicklv I arose to my feet and looked about me. The 61 mcky cIiamlKT seemed ti l)e aljnut fifteen feet S(|uare, as best I could discern l)y the dim lit;lit which came in thn nt;;]! the cre ices in the rocks, fcjr I cipuld not disco er wliere I liad fallen from. I struck a match and lookeil ahont me more carefully. ' I he sides of the chandler were of solid rock and water was drippint;- from cre ices and tlowiui;- in a small stream to one side of the floor at the foot of the hea] of .sand intti which I had fallen. In one comer there was an openin- ahout the size of a small door, heyond this was utter darkness. I was wouik-riiii; whether to e.xphire this or not x hen mv eve cauj iit this inscription which was almost le el with my face, and written on the rou h stone in odd characters: ' idiis is the home, ami one eternal yate Throui h which must pass the seekiny race of man. hen he wouhl learn the Mind, m siL-rious fate Irdaineil for him since m riad worlds he.yan. Let him place here his w..rtli - s ift ami wait. T) hajjpy thou,L;ht ! Coidd it he pos.sihK- that 1 was in the presence of an oracle! I ' .nt alas, what -ift had I, and what was a worthy -ift? I had only a (piarter in my pocket, ami an Jn,-ersoll dMllar watch, and that was all— no not all. for I had on my Senior rini;. m most alued (?) possession. .Must this go? If so. let it be, the opportunity must not slip. I reluctantK- placed the nnir npon a shelf of rock and withdrew to the top of the sand hank and sat down with my hack ai ainst a dry led!.;e i f the rockv wall. The pene- tratiiii, ' fumes continued to surround me and fill the wdiole place. I felt a stranL;e sensation coming; o er me which was not alto ether disagreeable. Suddenly there was a shower of rain which seemed to fall from the top of the ca -e. This was followed by the sound of real rocks grinding together back in the ilarkness into which the do,,r led; then all the caN ' e seemed to he in motion. The walls began to -ibrate, while a pale. sn|)ernatural light illumined the ca e, and belore my eyes an immense circular rock began to revolve. W hat was more astonishin,g than all. it seemed to ha e the shape of the ring I had placed on the ledge, an.l there m gihled letters I rea l: Till- cr.. ss ( )i ' vn2r After this I lost sight of the re . .Intions of the rock, or ring, or whatever it was, ancl all my surroundings besides, ami became absorbed in m - class- mates, for indeed, 1 saw them projecteil several years into the future. y y blooil clnlled at the first sight of one of my classmates. The central ]iart of the dark continent of . frica was the scene of action. Dr. John T. Anderson had been sunmioned to a tall, brawin- nati e wdio had broken his arm, and because the iloctur lunl hurt liiui wliile settiutc it, the native fled awa}- and called his tribe together, and nnw they were prepariu - tn l)arl)ccue the doctor. The little mission, composed of L. K. O ' llriau, .Sidney A. Ed er- ton and their families, and C. H. Trueblood, turned out to protect Dr. .Ander- son. After many pleading remarks by all concerned, it as decided that the Rev. C. H. should sing a solo to appease the wrath of the revengeful .Vfricans. ' hen the natives saw him singing out of the side of his head, working his jaws like a cow choked on a corncob, they became frightened at his grotesque features and fled into the jungle. Just at this juncture. Tlt)rse Power bihnsou, who was captain of the Speedwell, steamed up the river and came aslmre. lie was accompanied by First Mate J. C. Brett and Ship Surgeon Duie. The gen- tlemen in charge of the mission were in the act of abandoning their labors and embarking for America, when they were pre ented from doing so by the good judgment of the ladies. In another part of the world, in Snuth Carolina. Church Conference was in session, and Pastor A. T. Allen had just made a thundering speech for a col- lection in behalf of the African mission. The hat was about to be passed when S. C. Gettys rusheil in. l)reathless from chasing I- ' armer Muggins old cow out of his pea patch, and with animation exclaimed, Brethren, I ' m op- posed to any such a collection. It ' s about time for Brother Allen to take an- other treatment for hookworm and he ' ll be needing money for medicine. How do we know the money will ever reach our friends in Africa? He finished and C. H. Robinson, after a while, arose and with a solemn voice broke the oppressive silence with these thrilling words, Men and brethren, this ought not to be so; I ' ll circulate the Ladies ' Home Jonnial from Cherokee to Curri- tuck, from Maine to California, Imm Dan t. P.eersheba, frcni the rivers to the ends of the earth, rather than see my friends suflfer in a foreign land. Robinson sat down and Kester popped up like a cork from a chamjiagne bottle, and exclaimed that if Brother Robinson in his travels should find his Homeric pony which had escaped his well-guarded stable, he would thank him for putting him on the right road home. The Conference then adjourned, to meet the next year under the Old Oaks. It seems that many prophets agree in some respects, for whereas it was once prophesied that B. A. Thaxton would one day become an eminent phy- sician, so happened. He is still attending old Peter Cornt.issel, who seems to be given to the habit of fracturing his wooden leg. It is rumored that Dr. Thaxton has invented a contrivance whereby he can cause a man ' s w.uiden extremity to break apparently on stumping his toe. It is also said that the old man is wealthy and pays his bills promptly. On the occasion of one of his greatest accidents. ' . B. Edwards, the celebrated Dross eck blacksmith, and Dr. C. L. Sherrill were called in. and while the knot hole in the old 63 farmer ' s leg was lioin succL-ssfully sawcil ■ml liy Edwards, Dr. Sherrill was injecting a new discinery of liis wliereliy even the ampntation cjf a false limb may Ije rendered absulutely painless. Hnrin;.; these operations, Mr. Cc.irn- tossel often becomes quite despondent ami has his attorneys near at hand. These are the far-famed Feezor and .Mnss. hut it is with difficulty that he gets them to his business, for they seem to have taken a great fancv to his red- headed daughter, Jane, wdio smiles approvingly on both of them, although the father has not given his ctmsent to her marriage with either. I was next perniitteil to see si nie of the teachers from our Class as they faced their difficulties, llarvey Xanney had settled in the neighborhood of Sandy I ' .ranch. as a farmer and hog raiser I the latter business he succeeded with better at night I. X.it far fr. .ni his farm .M. L. I ' .arnes and H. C. (irififin were teaching the county school. They had great difficulty in keeping Farmer Nanney ' s razor backs from running their rooters through the cracks in the logs and going into the row of tin buckets placed against the wall, which were odoriferous with hot collards. W. J. Grain has for a nundier of years been engaged in the V. .M. t ' . . . work. .After ten years ' faithful work as apprentice, he was promoted to head waiter in the I ' due Ridge Hotel, of the Southern Stuilent Conference. . . j. Ifutchins has for a number of years been the faithful guide for jiarties of Moiuit Mitchell cliinbers. Me always gets them back in time to attend the negro class conducted by Dr. D. V. Fergu.son, of LSerea College, Kentucky. My attention was next drawn to a scene on the streets of Chicago. A ' . D. Boone was rapidly making his wa} ' down Dearborn Street, closely followed by a beautiful young woman wdiose charnis our hero was trying to withstand by taking flight. . s he turned a block he ran into a detachment of the police force which had turned out to disperse the g.-itbering crowd. This iletach- menl hail for their chief none other than oiu ' well-known Co]) liobbitt. The chief recognized lioone ami knowing what difficulties he had always had with the fair sex, he jiermitted him to retire to his law office unmolested. The co|) turned the young lady i ' er to T. Sloan C,uy, who had just come up. He told the policeman he had come all the way from his clunch in Ilrookhn, Xew York, in search of a wife, and, in fact, that hail been his one jmrpose since he was in college ,it Wake Forest. Mr. and Mrs. Ciuy both seemed to be very hap|iy at this turn in aft ' airs. It is a source of gratification to state thai it ma be sai l of ' . C. Peterson, as of ■illianl Trembletoe, he ' s a good fisherman. . fter manv years of training under judson Dunbar, I cte has become an expert. My glimpse of him showed him on his hands and knees in a ditch, wdiere he had captured his nine hundred and sixlv-third spethimen of crayfish. G. Privette has also ficconie an eminent biologist. lie first slarteil as a farmer, but swarms 64 (if grasshoppers left his CdnifieUl destitute even nl stalks, and now he is ship- ping; annually to the yreat laboratories hundreds of barrels of pickled grass- hoppers. Shortly after graduation, R. E. Powell made his way to L ' tah as a niission- arv to the Mormons. Failing to subdue them by Charlemagne ' s principles, he remembered K. R. I ' .lanton ' s great anniversary speech, and sent for him as a co-laborer. I ' .lanton arrived in L ' tah in due time and was making his way to PowcU ' s mission when he was held up by a band of female robbers. On searching Planton ' s pockets ihev found his great s]ieech against woman suffrage and straight wa - would have hanged him to a limlj if Jack Riddick and six of his nine wi es had not dashed upon the scene. Jack recognized his old schoolmate and. after palavering for a long time with his better hahes, finally succeeded in getting them to appease the robbers, . fter burning the obnoxious manuscript, Pdanton was allowed to return to Xorth Carolina. .Another revolution of the magic wheel brought me to dear old Wake b ' orest. What was my surprise when S. -C. Milliard nut me at the campus gate! He informeil me confidentially that he vould remain at Wake I ' orest till .Niagara l- ' alls or get his degree. Space will not permit the jileasant con- versation I had with him. Just below the depot near the railroad I saw a large fertilizer plant. Fhe firm x as composed of Mark Chamberlain, Presi- dent: Carl Betts, ice President; W. R. Holding, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Holding informed me that the coni])ound made from the beef bones from the clubs and from the bones gathered u ' l among the Preshmen made the richest fertilizer put on the market, lie tohl me further, that in making their product they had to be very careful to see that a ll the fiesh was removed from the beef bones, for the least particle passing into the grinders would in ari- ablv brtak the machinery-, it was so tough. Just below this ]ilant 1 saw another of equal magnitude. It was a great tannery, of which Mr. .M. T. Tanner, strange to sav. was the sole pro|. ietor. He told me that during the months from September to May he did a tremendous business, as cattle were slain in Wake P ' orest in unnumbered multitudes, but unfortunateh ' for him. Owen Odum. the greatest cattle raiser at Wake Forest, had moved to another ])art of the State about a year before. At Tanner ' s instigation a marble slab had been erected by the butchers and club managers to this wealthy cattle raiser. On the ■-lab I read this inscription: To Ow i; OrnM, the man who dro e the steak. As 1 entered the campus, an imposing monument rose bctore me near the fountain. ( )n coming up I read the first inscri|)tion : I. Mkmokv of rinc ' . kk Forest Dk.mi. (Jn the right side I read the names of R. P. Pdevins, R. R. Savage. . . C. 65 ISeriiaril.

There was then a hol l-np in the trial till Slierifl: ' V. O. I ' .ryan telegraphed Dr. P. P.

Sharpe Glass Works, of Richmond, irginia. for a supply of slides and cover glasses. Having secured these. Dr. Green made a microscopic examination of the root of a hair plucked from the poet ' s head, and discovered that the unfortunate man was given to sudden attacks of poetasia. The divorce was granted. In Philadelphia it was my good pleasure to drop into the office of Messrs. Gonrad and Hunter, the great playwrights. They were then writing up what they were expecting to be their masterpiece, entitled. -When Finstus Goes . broad. ' To complete their data for this drama they were planning to visit a great part of the Old World, and F. P. Tnlleen. a native of Sweden, was to be their guide. Transported once more to the campus at ■ake Forest, in the Hall of Fame I saw a metal plate bearing an inscription like this : H. D. W.vRD. Celebrated Discoverer of Deflogisticated Aqua Fortis. the only acid in which the biscuits of the Wake Forest Clubs are soluble. Over the campus gate near the post office there was a magnificent arch with an inscription also: Erected by G. C. Kirksey to the memc: ry of the Class of I ' HZ. a Class that was never known to hang together. The revolutions of the great ring ceased. A rough hand was placed upon my shoulder and a grufT voice called. You will go with me. sir. and tell the Court what you know about this P.lind Tiger. The hunter I met proved to be a United States revenue officer, and he was usmg me without my knowledge to aid him in detecting the Blind Tiger gang, that had so successfully carried on their unlawful business, concealing their den by shrouding it in mysteries from all except those who knew the ropes. Intoxicated by the fumes of the distilling liquors. I had seen this preposterous vision of my classmates. And I was glad of such a prophecy. Prophet. MISS HALLIE POWERS Junior Class Sponsor At ..i 9!

In ui desperation 1 had left my room on this particular night, and going to a neigh- boring hill had stretched myself upon its summit, in the hope that in the silence of the night I might jiierce the dark eil of the future and learn the destiny of my classmates. The moon was shining liriglnly. and 1 had been looking up into the calm, smiling face of the Man in the .Moon for perhaps fifteen minutes, when a soothing calm seemed to steal o er me. Suddenly the smde on the face of the moon-man began to broaden. 1 realized thai he was acluallv mip ing and coming toward me. . s he drew nearer I could see that he was in a very strange and wonderful Hying machine, which moved erv ra]iidlv and without the slightest bit of noise. Almost before 1 could catch m - breath, he landed on the ground near me ami addressed me thus: Young man. ] see you are in trouble. .Step into my moon-o-plane and I will show yon where some of the members of the Junior Class of ' lO-ll will be and what they will be doing twenty years from to-daw 1 lost no time in complying with his re(|uest and we were soon on our way — I knew not whither. We traveled upward through the air with the speeil of lightning. Old .Mother Marth rapidly dwindled into a star and the moon loomed up before us. .My strange com])anion remarked that our first stop would be at his own home, lie had scarcely finished sjjeaking wdien we lighted on the highest peak in one of the mountain ranges on the moon. 1 was told to watch there for just a secoml. Something whirled over our heads, and looking closeh- I saw that it was my friend and classmate, Langston. To my (|uesti(.ning look mv companion explained : Monsieur Langston is making a new record for tlie high jump, it being fifteen thousand feet. After scxeral years of faithful effort, he failed to im- prove on his five feet four in the World, and as a last resort he has come here, where his feet are not so cumliersome to him. He continued. L.iok in the valley below. Do you see the fast runner with the sandy mustache? That man is your immortal June Smith, an.l he is still practicing his ■hundred vards 7.1 iluck-woljlik-. ' Ik- is imw alilc ti ' measure nff eitibteen yards at each ■woliliK-. ' but has licit iiiiprijved any in s[)eed. When my companion ceased spcakini;. I fouml that he liad started his macliine ai;ain. and we were once more on oiir x a . ( )ur next - top wa- at Mars. There we tound I ' jenton, the manager of the haseliall team of ' 12, and with him his faithful nine. Thev were in tlie midst of a ijreat i ame with the .Martians, in which Ltley and Smith, as pitchers, and l- ' aticette. as center hehler, were the particular stars. Tlie nionn-man e. - plained that, having- won all the games on their schedule in the spring of ' 12. this team liad become professional and since that time had been playing coii- tinuallv. lie saiil that llenton had arranged for games on all tlie ])laiiets ex- cept Xeptune, which was tin, cold, (in another ]iart . .f .Mars we found I ' ool, who was speaking to a great thri iig of husky, war like .Martians im the suli- ject of Interplanetarian and Celestial I ' eace. and he used no word of less than Iweiity-six syllaldes. In this crowil I recognized alsn our medical mis- sionary, Stanley, lie was skillfully gixiug his attention to those wnunded by Pool ' s jaw-breaking wurds. From Mars we went to euus. the most beautiful of all the |daiiets. The first thing that greeted inv eyes there was a multitude of the most beautiful and attractive girls imaginable. And in their midst stood j. C. [ones. Ila ing tried for nineteen years to persuaile some girl to l.ne him in the World, he had ,gi en it np as a liojieless task and had gone to euns to see what was on the market there. He found that there x ere six luuidred girls fur e ery niau, and though thev themsehcs were the most beautiful beings in the nui erse, still they did not consider the looks of a man. So Jones got his six hundred and was now enjoying life. Something iu my heart li ' lil uie that I wanted to sto|i here, and I am afraid I would ha e followed this inclination had not my x atchful aeronaut started his inachine toward Jupiter before I coulil accomplish my purpose. . t Jupiter I was ])erniitteil to see only . ydlett an. I I ' .ig Williams, who were employed at Wampnshnadoodle (.. ' ollege as fo.,tball coaches, . ydlett was still playin.g under an assumed name to keep his father from cutting oft his monev sup| ly. I was informed that Joe Cin-riu was employed at this col- lege also, as Professor of ( ieneral baceolngy and the Science of I lood Looks. We went directly from Jupiter to Xeptune. I asked the moon-man why he was carrying me so far awa , for 1 couhl see no living creatures of any kind— all was ice and snow, lie replied ; Heboid that solitary rock in the ilistance. Heliiuil it is something that will be of interest to yon. We went to the rock auil to iiiv jo found our literary man, Smethurst. sitting peacefully and ([iiielly behiinl it. lie was engaged iu writing a short 74 story of one million seven luuKlred thousand words, to be published in Dr. Sled ' d ' s new book, A Collection of Short Stories — ' The Uest in English Liter- ature. ' lie had gone to this distant land in the hope of getting away from the troublesome and boring reporters of the World below. .My kind guide now told me that our journey was conijdeteil and that it was time to return to the Earth. Xo sooner said than done ; and almost imme- diately we were floating over the belove.l L ' nited States .i . nierica once more. As we passed over the country my companion pointed out many other members of the Junior Class and explained their several occupations. Doc McLendon was the leading physician in Xew York City, and he answered his numerous calls in an aeroplane; Baucom was pastor of the First Baptist Church of Boston, and he prepared his sermons each week on an improved gesticulating graphophone, so that he could sit in the audience with his family on Sunday and enjoy the service: Romulus Scaggs was teaching a collection of his own poems in twenty volumes in Tuskegee Institute; Ferrall had suc- ceeded Tyree as photographer in Raleigh, and the sign on his door read thus : Pictures Tak en of the Fair Se.x Only ; J. C. Brown was a very successful lawyer in Cary, having plead one case since he graduated at W. F. C, and for his labors his client had paid him the enormous sum of .S1.48. on which he had been living for fourteen years; Tom Arrington had obtained a position at W. F. C. as teacher of How to Make the Girls Love You. and his most faith- ful students were Groves, :McLeod. Long, and O. F. Herring. . s I was looking around f. .r some one else I knew, suddenly I felt myself falling. I woke with a start and found that I was rolling dow-n the hillside on which I had been lying, and the Man in the Moon was still calmly smiling in the heavens alx i e. R. . . M.xKSii. Pro lu-t.

Sophomore Class History I liiiikiny i ' er our ii ninlile past I find that lack i space ci impels me to lea e out important achic cments. In rcachin our present liiL;h stan.liu- we lia e stru.y-yled lianl on the athletic field, bored in the society halls, and searcheil amid the confusion ■■! ' 1 ks. We came upon the scene September 4th. I ' Un. ' e told Dr. Paschal of the bundles of wisdom we had received in hij h school, and so he decided we were indeed a wise band of Newish. The Sophomores, however, persisted in giving us lessons after supper in speaking, singing, dancing, and various other subjects — particidarly that it was not a mark of isdoni to haimt the caminis. We soon went into jirofound wdrk. In athletics we were well representcil. We were a terror in class games and had our full .share of Varsity men. In all the gloomy wilderness, our greatest obstacle was one of our fel- low classmen, Dr. .Morton, who caused many Newish to fall by the wayside. (.)ur path was not streivn with flowers, yet we poured forth from the treacherous regions of , ' ewish-hood a liand of handsome and heroic souls, ambitious to mount the ne.xt step of the four-round ladder. Three short months lirought us into our noble heritage, and with us a wild yell struck the cam]His. Lo, not many were so wise as we. Behold, the green Newish, as numberless as the pebbles on the mighty beach, and as ignorant as the Hottentots, were in our midst trembling with fear. We have dealt kindly with them, even as Pharaoh did with the Israelites of old, and did not oppress them, as we remembered the former davs when we received kindness and mercy from upper classmen. lIo -e er, we ha e tried to instruct them in the ways of wisdoin and hope t ' l lia e tauL ht them to act decently on the cam()us by Commencement. We have again responded to the calls of our . lnia Mater. Carter, Parker, and Dunn stand out as stars on the football ' arsity. In class basket-ball we easily won tlie championship; and on the ' arsity we are ably represented by Turner, Tyner. and Dowd. Without Moss, Mayberry, Hart, and Tyncr there would be no track team. On the A ' arsitv nine we are represented bv Turner. Stringfield, Underwood, and Correll. We have not only sought to develop ourseUes on the athletic field; l)Ut in the classroom we ha e aptly jiersuaded the professors to let us pass; and in the society halls we have brought forth melodious strains of oratory. We are S4 confident that we have some material tliat will again bring honors and silver oving cups for Old Gold and Black. Our Class is made up of real gentlemen whose bearing withstands as close inspection as any other class in College. Not one of our number has yet had to leave College on account of bad conduct. Xow, as we are almost ready to emerge from our illustrious year, and as we agam glance at the past, with inspiration we will shoulder the greater duties of our .Alma Mater, and — HlSTORI. X.

Kesolntinns of sympathy and regret were jiassed for the State, . fter some years of ]iractice given ti funis and idiots, thev all retired, being full of debts and trouble.

In letters of gold were written these words: The History of the Class of Nineteen llnndred and Fifteen, at Wake Forest College. Simultaneously he began to write, while I. looking ■ iver his shoulder, read : The enrollment at the beginning of the fall term was (pue hundred and sixty. This was the largest class in the history of the College. They were unneces- sarih ' molested by the Sophomores during the first few weeks, but now the Freshmen have become a part of the College. The first attempt to organize was in the dining liall of one of the clubs known as ' The Ellington Club. ' The second year men were there, as ex- ])ected. but, be it said to their credit, thev treated the I ' reshnien with due re- sjiect. They even advised that the Xewish wait until the following morning and organize in the chajiel. Monday came, but tlie Freshmen failed to organize until two weeks later, when, by the aid of some of the better Sophs., the said organization was effected in the Fort Building. Since then the Class has been progressing nicely. In atldetics they have furnished their part of the ' arsitv football team, and bid fair to do as much on the baseball nine. In society work, too, thev have done well. Most of their men take a marked interest in that branch of the college work. It is to their credit that they have a greater representation in that le|)artment than any other class. Surely, wdien the time comes they will l e aide to |iut forth just as good speak- ers as any class of their age. Some things which give distinction to this Class are : ill Unlike most of their predecessors, they have not a ' green ' man in the Class: (2) The strong- est man ph -sically in College is a Freshman: i3) The y have been subjected to fewer Sophomoric pranks than any class in recent years: i4i They arc going to take a decided stand against hazing.

Happily, ihou-h, and fortunate for those who wish to kuoxe their future, an iilea struck me. This city with its noise and rattle of commerce, its multitude of screamiiit;- whistles, and ceaseless clan,- of l.ells, was cry unsuitable for prophetic in- spirations. So, boardin- the train one day. 1 started to the ancient cajiital of the State. , Reaching- there. I allowed myself t(. wander down its deserted streets, .gazing idly at the old houses half in ruins, and o ernin with twisting iiies. The deathlike stillness .,f the -illage became oppressixe. and I (|iiickeiied my steps, to get out in the open country where at least a cowbell xvould break the dreadful stillness. Suddenly I came before a little lio el bearing the ilelapidated sign, 1 )rinks. Come In : and being thirsty ami tire l. [ entered, , little wrinkled and sto(,ped old lad - soon aiijieared with a glass of some curious li(|uid. which she jilaced before me. and not caring much what it was but anxious to (|ueiich such a burning thirst. I drank it itli a swallow. Soon I began t.. grow dizzy and before long fell into a delightful uncon- sciousness. Imagine my surprise when I heard ,iii umpire distinctl cry out. Ladies and gentlemen, the batteries for to-ilay ' s game are . era and Wooilall for Xew York and Culhrell and Schmidl for I ' hiladelphia ; jilay ball! The scene shitted to the ninth inning- and the score stood 103 to 99 in favor of New York. Parker was at the bat for Philadelphia with three men on bases. A smash was heard and the ball was seen to fly directly upwards, and as tliis was the only ball left, the game was called fifteen minutes until the ball fell again. Here I left them, but remember distinctly reading in the papers that Parker with a home run had scored the runners but as the ball had lodged on the Flat Iron lUiilding the game had to be called. I again heard the name of an old classmate called. It was ' ■Sampson Chambless, who was now sole owner of the Youngsz ' iUc Disturber, also likely candidate for the presidency on the Optimistic ticket. A fleeting signboard passed before my eyes which bore — Gates ' and Bill- ings ' Ten Amalgamated Minstrels, the best on the road; will make Lew Dock- stadder ' s look like thirty cents. I was not surprised at this, for even at Wake Forest they were conceded to be alj.nu the liest the ' ilkie Muilding af- forded — quite an enviable reputatirm. In the distance, as the scenes swiftly changed. I saw Gattis coming out of a large building which .some one whispered was a club. I wondered if Iky had really turned out a club man. . nd as I ap|)roached the building, scanned the massive sign over the door. It was so. the building was the extension of the Athletic Pressing Club Parlors. The scene now shifted to the crowded courtnumi in one of our large cities. Looking towards the place where I heard a great indistinct juinble of words. I recognized at once my oI,l sch. .,,Imate. Penned, as he veiled to the soundly sleeping Judge Pritchard that ,..i the grotmds her husband would not talk- enough to her. the request of Mrs. Sustare was only right and just. Here in sonorous tones he demanded the sought-for divorce. My sjiirit was greatly grieved to see my old friend in such a plight, but before I could attemijt to console him the vision shifted to the United .States Senate. Here ex-President Chambers was greatly agitated over a bill he wished to pass, entitled Re- solved that it be compulsory hereafter for all Presidents. Ijefore taking the oath of office, to read my ' Adventures of a President. ' In a newspaper that flashed before my eyes I saw where some ..f my old friends were gaining reputations as great writers. Jovner had written a book entitled Dissertation on Heart-breaking. which was making a hit. And Brassfield had just completed Personal Experiences as a Newish. seven editions of which had already been .sold.

History of the Law Class 1g- HEN the doors of the Law Department were thrown tipen in Sep- 1 tcinber last, and the rolls called, we fnund that Wake Forest had V M X many aspirants to the legal profession. A greater assortment of prospecti e legalities could not have been gathered throughout the State. Big, fat, thin, short, and tall ; young and old. gallant and awkward, fresh and green ; married and single, and some for whom no description can be found — all came and mingled together. The only thing that could be found in com- mon was the desire for legal knowledge, to be acquired through books or bv absorption. About the last of September the members of the Class began to notice a certain degree of familiarity displayed by a few of their number. These fel- lows seemed personally interested in the welfare of all. wore a broad smile at all times, had a good word and a hearty handshake for every one, and best of all, they had cigars in abundance for all the Class. They insisted on paying for drinks, and were most ctmspicuously clever in every way. It soon be- came evident that these heart-to-heart friends were candidates for offices, and. from that time till the election, a more shrewd campaign of politicking has never been conducted. A more systematic form of legging has never been introduced. When the final contest came ofif, the smoke cleared away, and ballots and pro.xies w ere counted, it was foimd that A. C. Bernard had landed the presidency; Jack Riddick. that of ' ice President: R. lienton was the suc- cessfid candidate for Secretary and Treasurer; and the writer was elected Historian. Each man responded to his election with a speech of thanks, the most notable being that of President I ' .ernard, showing much time and skill in preparation and [jractice in (kli ery. In Ijeautiful, flowing language, melo- dious tones, and a wonderful form of (.ratory. he told the Class that his high- est ambition had been realized, that the Class had done itself honor in choosing a leader of such executive ability. The election of Motrt Court officers was almost as interesting as that of Class officers. It is said, indeed, that there were more Freshmen in the field than in the previous election ; that an unlimited supplv of cigars and political plums were in evidence, and that the kU of tried and true ])oliticians was 107 displayed Imm all si.lc.- . l;i- Al 1 )ank-n sufurcl the judi eship.

' I ' he (iri anization of the Class to(jk place in the History- Lecture Room at two o ' clock p. ni.. on ' I ' uesday, November 4th, I ' Ml. That meeting was significant, because it was the expression of class consciousness on the part of the young men who are devoteil to the teaching profession. For years Wake Forest has sent out quite a number of men to enter the teaching work. But they have gone out as individuals, not as reiirescntatives of an organized body. Teaching is a jirofession, just as much as Law and .Medicine are profes- sions; and it is x ell for us to get this professii nial consciousness, this feeling of oneness with that great bodv of lialf a million indixiduals who are spending and being spent in carrxing on the eilucati e ]irocess, that process which is to train the boys and girls of to-dav into ihu . mericau citizens of to-morrow. The organization of the Teachers ' Class has brought about a feeling of brotherhood on the ])art of the members. E ach memljer knows who his co- laborers are; he knows the men whose aims are similar to his; likewise he knows the men whose trials and difificulties are likely to be much the same as his. ' e are all treading the paths of glory wdiich lead but to the gra e, and each feels lionud to the others bv the ties of a common purpose, a com- mon as|)iratiou, a connnon iileal. . herculean task is ours. The making of men and women (3ut of those despised by others is no little task. In this stu- pendous enterprise, it is well for each to realize that United, we stand : divided, we fall. Each teacher is working with e erv other teacher lor the development of character, for the training of boys and girls who shall be, in the largest sense, efficient. The Teachers Class stands for plnsical education. 1 ehe iug in the motto: Mens Sana in sano corpore. Therefore, a basket-ball team was selected from the membership, and challenges were issued to the other class teams of the College. The Preachers accepted the challenge, and in a long-to-be- reinembered game the Hirch Hearers defeated the Sky Pilots by the over- whelming score of 31 to ' •. The other class teams dared not play against the Professors. Thus, the Teachers ' Class of the xear ' 2, ha ing liecome conscious of itself, having entered upon a triuniph.aut career, will send out its members with a consciousness of a high mission and a lofty undertaking. 114 Prophecy of Teachers ' Class OXI- iii lit whik- I va .sitting i|ui - ' tl_ before the lire in my room, I fell asleep ami dreameil that 1 was carried twenty-five years into the future. In my dream, I heard a i;entle tapping;- at my duor. Im- mediately I said, Come in. The door opened slowly and in walked a little man abnut twelve inches high, dressed in green. He bowed very politely, came up to the chair which was near the table, climbed into it, and then U])on the table. Yciu seem tn lie jnizzlins; ii er some great iimblem; can I help you? said the little man in green. By this time I had somewhat recovered from the friglu which he had gi en me, and the thought came to me that maybe he could tell me the future of the illustrious and dignified Teachers ' Class of W. F. C. ' ell, mv little man, I am very much in need of help. This problem which I have to solve is the most difificult that I have ever undertaken before. ( )h, that I had the gift of prophecy ! The little man in green bowed his head for a minute, and suddenly there came oxer his face an expression of joy, and he said: Mv friend, I am probablv the very man you are looking for. I was pres- ent when your Teachers ' Class was organized. I sat over in one corner of the room. Probably I was so little that you did not see me, but while you all were making great plans for that year. I was saying to myself, ' Where will you all be twenty-five years hence? ' I have traveled very extensively and have often seen your fellow teachers in my travels. My little man, ])ray tell me about them, where they are and what they are doing, I said. Well, said he, as he took a little book from his pocket and opened it, this is just and I recorded only the most important things I ob- served. The first that I shall mention is your President, IMr. M. L. Barnes. He has made an enviable record. X ' o man has done more for humanity than he has. Whenever there is a fight on for a reform of some corrupt practice he throws himself into it with all his might, ' oe to those who oppose him! It was by and through his plan of reforming the financial system of the schools of California that he was elected to his present position as Superin- tendent of Public Instruction of that State, ' e , there were Kennedy, I Iarsh, and Huggins, thev made a fine record at Harvard, but not content with their record there, thev went to O.xford, England, to |)ursue their favorite US subject, Latin. Haviiii;- ocunplcted tlicir cxiurse tlK-rc. tlicy rcturiiccl to AnuT- ica. Their college da_vs hail been spent together and as they did not wish to be separated in life, they secured positions as Associate Professors of Latin in Sioux LIni crsitv, Liwa. There were some of the Class who, it seemed, could not locate perma- nently anywhere. They went from place to place for several years, but now they are hap|iy at last. In my travels 1 saw Hutchins. Nothing appealed to him more forcibly than ])lenty of good, vigorous exercise, therefore, he is Professor of Physical Culture in the University of Moscow. The Chair of Philosophy in the University of Paris having Ijecome vacant, the Trustees looked for some time in vain for a man whom they deemed capable of filling the position. Finally, in a secluded cave in the mountains of L ' tah. they found Edwards, W. B. Immediately he came forth from his cave, caught the first airship that passed, and was soon in Paris. Several members of the Class caught the idea that the - could achiexe greater honor by going to . frica. and so they organized a band for that |inr- pose. It was fifteen years before I heard from any of them. ( )ne day, «hile on my way to Australia, I stopped at Cape Town for a few hours, and to my surprise there was Hunter, the remnant of the band who had conceived the idea of civilizing the continent of .Africa. He told me that Lassiter, Holmes. Bullard, Gettys, Hart, and Wright had died heroically in their untiring efforts to serve their fellow man. Two years after leaving college, many of the Class saw a notice that there would be a special examination for applicants who wished to teach in the Philippine Islands. My! what a busy time with them. Just like it used to be in College before examination. The day came, and twelve of them marched up to the examiner to receive their fate. It is sufficient to say, they did. Oidy three of them decided to go to the Phili])pines — Young, Olive, and Grififin. They had made great plans for the work, how they would teach and entertain the Filipinos. The Filipinos had heard that they w-ere coining and came out in full force to w-elcome them. There was a look of disappointment, however, on the faces of the Filipinos when the three little pedagogues came on shore. They were expecting men of sufficiently large stature to serve them for a long time. These men performed their work well, although amid tmfaxorable sur- roundings. Much honor is due them for the noble effort they made to en- lighten the Filipinos. Well, you are wondering what became of those who did not go to the Philippines. They got discouraged an l quit the business. There was Ed- dinger. he said teaching required too much phvsical exertion for him, there- fore he was .going to be a lawyer. Prexette and Peam said they preferred some other vocation, so that thev could go and conic when they wanted to. there- 116 fore they would be farmers. Xow, .Mull, Herriuij, Tones. Warlick Sr.rrell and Lanier all decided that it was better to ,1,, almost anvthins.; other than to teach school, therefore they fell out of rank. ■■Now, my friend, what I have told you is only a sketch of what this mem- orable class of teachers has ,lone. I have gixt-n you what assistance I can so I must be going. -.My little man,- I said. -1 am under many obligations tn you and feel that I can never repay you for this kindne.ss. -It has been a pleasure, indeed, I assure you. to tell vou these simple ob- servations that I have made. Xow, my friend, good-bye. ' ' And he jumped down from the table into the chair and out he went. Then I awoke and found that it was a dream. Prophet. Ministerial Class Officers B. V.

Ministerial Class History Ol ' K r.aptist State Convention surely ne er dreamed of the s[)lendid outcome of their wise foresight manifested in the establishing of Wake h ' orest College. As the statesmen laud the wisdom of our mighty political fabric, we, with equal zeal, cherish the names of the founders of our goodly institution. Xiliil iiwrtalibus aniiti est. Though their primary purpose in founding our College was to supplv an educated Baptist ministry, influences have been evolved, outside of the Min- isterial Class, that have acconijjlished much. A potent secondary purpose of the institution has become manifest, so that the idea of Wake Forest ' s being nothing more than a Preachers ' College is erroneous. Each year witnesses the going out of a graduating class, among whom are preachers, medical stu- dents, lawyers, teachers, and others: and these professions are more and more heaping honors upon the College. But it is not my purpose to mention any class other than the Ministerial Class. As a Class, we have much in which we take pride. That Dr. A. C. Dixon and Dr. Len G. Broughton were students here gratifies us with a pecu- liar sense of pride in the great work and honor thev are achieving. As for our Class, we claim honors in numbers. We have the unprecedented number of seventy-fi e in our Class. ( )f course, we are members of every class from Prep, to Senior, and are consei|uently erily representati e. . ccordinglv, we have done much and. likewise, on the uther hand, left much undone. Our college activities have been varied. We are ackm.wleilged to be the hard-working class, though it seems very few of us ever hurt ourselves. We have our purpose before us, and our course is already decided, and we are not, therefore, handicapped by tragic periods of indecision. Our ideals are fi.xed : our aspirations already thrill us: our purposes have imprinted them- 123 selves intii i ur erv beings ; nur Ic.ive for i mr wurk has iiicreaseil by experience ; anil our zeal has been tired by the righteons ])i.] cr nf hninlile [ enitence. We liave sacrificed nuich and are oliedient, in motive at kast, to the call of duty — stern daughter of the -oice of ( iod. Among us are some of the best students in College. We are studious, for we realize that The man who wins is the man who works — The man who toils while the next man shirks; The man who stands in his deep distress _. With his heail held high in the deadly press. We realize, also, that it i s our business to know, and that we shall be expected to show wide knowledge, and that the very natnre of mir calling is more de- manding than any other pn: fession. In athletics some of our members ha e won places. This phase of college life we most neglect. I ' .ut we do not mean to discourage athletics, and much of the censure heajjed upon oiir heads is unjust. We are persuaded that we are mistmderstood. In this cinmection we hold an embarrassing situation. We are called bookworms, and are distinguished as Sky Pilots. (Jn one side the student body accuse us of having cold feet, and on the fither the l- ' acultv class us as boneheads. We voted for a football team, a track sipiad, a basket-ball (juintct, a baseball nine, and a tennis sipiad. If they arc not, thev just are niit. Therefore they could not appear. )ur lack of necessary time is the trouble. Dr. Culloni expects to turn us out with e erything mem- orizeil in his courses from . lpha to Onwija. We ha e conducted ourseKes with a regard for others ' feelings. We have stood fi.ir improvements, whether it be in !■ acuity personnel, or the curriculum, or athletics, or in societv affairs. We ha c imhesitatingly opposed the insti- tuting of auvthing that is contributory to the retrogression of student honor or the deterioration of the name of the I ' ollege. We have not hesitated to make suggestions. In fact, we have been so free with our advice that cniio is onlookers have declared that we are actually running the ( ' ollege. Still Dr. Piiteat has not resigned, nor has linrsar I ' arnshaw tied in terror. Dr. Paschal still reigns supreme in the departments of Latin and (ireek, an l de- clares he is going to flunk those xvho use jacks in Latin, and all those in (ireek who do not memorize everything in the grammar and learn by heart the vocabulary in the back of the book. And our heads do ma appear to re- semble the Sim just peeping o er the eastern horizon. But our influence has not been liiuited to the internal affairs of the College. We have made gains outside in our chosen work and in the eyes of I ' ciius. Even Citpid has come to oin- aid, making himself ery useful in matters per- 1J4 taiiiing to his great niissiim. The results are well kncjxvii. It seems, there- fore, to be a popular thiug among Seniors, especially, to take unto themselves a gentle protectress. Others are favorably impressed, for they are emploving Uncle Sam very busil} Some of our members occupy |iulpit.-, while others visit fellow pastors, coming back with the declaration, 1 made a hit. These, however, have ac- complished much, both as pastors and as supplies. Lest we should be called unjust, allow us to thank our teachers and in- structors for what they have done for us. We agree that they have had very hard stock with which to deal. But we believe that with their ])ol!sh and refinement they have jiretty well succeeded in making us see what awful ignorance we groped in. and liow little we now know. We owe them much. especially Dr. Culloni. who has been unjustly said to constitute tlie whole course in Theology. There is Dr. Roval, Keeping the even tenor of his way. Silently toiling while it vet is dav. Others could be mentioned, but these will suffice. patiently dealing with us.

Upper Class Lawlessness Severely Cen- sured. Resolutions Adopted. Several Stirring Addresses. V. KE Forest. Jan. 14. Yesterdaj- afternoon the Freshman Class of ake Forest College met in the Memorial Hall to enter protest against tlie action of the upper classmen in interrupting the taking of the Freshman picture for the college annual. A resolution was entered by Duncan and unanimously ailopted em- powering President Chambers to take charge of the meeting. In a brief but stirring address Mr. Chambers called upon the class to protect him from the lawless upper classmen who conspired to lay violent hands on his per- son and for a concerted boycott against said upper classmen and the annual. Several of the class leaders replied assur- ing him of protection and the hearty sup- , port of the class in his program of reform | and reprisal and a strong body guard was I i appointed to preser e the person of the President, and to act as a vigilance com- mittee, to patrol the campus and suppress any incipient lawlessness. Resolutions were passed to collect all magnolia burs about the campus and deposit them in the Loan and Savings Bank of Raleigh. Also i that action be entered in the courts to re- cover damages for the impairment of the : person of Freshman Robert Jones by the throwing of burs. The following is a brief report of the speeches : Introductory remarks by President Chambers. Ve call me chief, and ye do well to call him chief who for six -long months has stood at yi ' WT head and suffered untold indignities for your sake I have been foully mis- treated and have been unable to defend myself. ' I ask of you protection tor your President We are justified in asserting ourselves and boycotting the upper classmen and the annual, from whose pages our picture has been i excluded. | Secretary Sutton ' s speech. Brethren, I call upon you to arise, come forth, and avenge yourselves of the wrong which you have suffered -At High School I looked forward to college with long- ing and a nameless awe. I now view with re- pulsion its barbarism and total lack of refine- ment. I assure you of my support in your j rt ' forms. | There was a breathless pause. Then Mr. Sexton leaped to his feet and spoke as follows : Geiitlemen. we Inve been wronged. We cannot endure it longer. My blood boiled with rage while I stood by and watched those cruel burs flying against your defenseless bosoms. I will lead you in the revolt  They may ] dance me, they may cut my hair, they may black me. they may kill me, but by the gods ' above me they can ' t eat me. . mid vociferous- and prolonged applause he took his seat. Mr. E. M. Johnson. The conflict is inevitable, it is at hand. The Lord forbid that we should take a Howler ' Esse quam videri. In the words of the ill-fated Hannibal. Give me liberty or give me death, E pluribus unum ' Sic semper tyrannis. Mr Gragg here arose and presented the following resolutions : Mr. Gragg ' s resolutions. Whereas, it is an insult to our intelligence to permit the present conditions to continue. Be it resolved: First, that all magnolia burs be collected from the campus and deposited in the Loan and Savings Bank of Raleigh at compound interest. Second, that a body guard be appointed to protect the person of our beloved President. Third, that action be entered in the civil courts to recover damages to the extent of S500.000 for damages to our fellow classman. Robert Jones. Fourth, that it is the sentiment of this Class that upper class lawlessness be suppressed and to that end we do boycott said upper classmen and repudiate the college annual. Just at this juncture a band of riotous Sophomores, formed a flying wedge and rushed the door.

There was un h.ght in his room, lie couhl see only the flickering, uncer- tain reflection of the blazing log on the hearth. Me pushed open the door. The fire threw out a cheerfid light. Some one was in (he big armchair before the tire. The figure leaned forward disconsolateh- with chin resting in the palms. Uick! called the newcomer. I say. Dick! What. Tom ' ansx ered the figure, dully. Sick, old man? Xo. hat ' s the matter, then? X.. thing. Tom threw oti his coat and hat. then dragged a chair across to the fire, lie loc ' ked clo ely at his roommate. The latter was gazing abstractedly into the f re. Dick?

Tom seated himself at the desk. Sheet after sheet of paper as torn u[) and thrown aside, but at last he arose with a sigh of satisfaction. The table was heaped with a litter of crumpled paper. How ' s this? he asked, clearing his throat. We. the undersigned, do hereby solemnly swear to hold oursehes, for the space of one vear from date, rigidly a|)art from communication, in any form whatsoexer, with meml)ers of the other sex. not Ijound to us by direct family ties. Dick signed at the liottom and tacked the paper on the desk in plain iew. Then he stood up sleepily. Toiu. that ' s a go( ,d night ' s work. Let ' s go to bed and forget our troubles. The light was switched out. The r n was dark: the fire burned low, but the reflection played against the walls. The ro. miniates were in bed, the reg- ular ijreathing of one indicated sleep. Tom!

A Victim of Anniversary ©ILL came tipping into ray roimi. 1 l.idkcd up fnnn my study table, a liit -exe(l at the interruption. A smik- froni IliU. however, and his speaking in a low, confidential tone, caught my attention at once. Say, Tom, Garfield wroti- a letter to Mary Tilden this afternoon. He forgot to mail it on ' 41 ' : and after he had gone to the gymnasium f saw it on the talile. and knowing that he had forgotten it. I niaiU ' d it. T thouglit 1 would ha e some fun. so 1 wouldn ' t tell him where it was. lie thinks some of us ha e hidden it. Let ' s keep him thinking so. All right. Rill : we ' ll kee]) him fooled. I said. He doesn ' t think I got it, continued I ' .ill, for I told him 1 hadn ' t seen it since ' 41. ' Just then ( iarfield, opening the door i|uickly, walked into the room. Tom, you are the very rascal that hid my letter, it is just like ou. . nd you have .got to come across or I ' ll maul your head. ' e laughed it off; InU I talked as if I were guilty. Several boys gathered to enjoy the fun. I ' ll tell you what yon do, liarfield, sug,gested one of the bovs ; you write her another letter. It won ' t take long to write it. Never! emidiatically answered Garfield. One letter is enough. 1 have done my part. I d.m ' t care whether she gets it or not. Rut we knew he did care. Mary Tilden was the oidy girl. He was trying to bluff ns. He hinted to Rill, later, that there was something impor- tant in the letter, and it must be mailed by the next day. The boys were gathered again the next night to discuss the letter. Garfield had become worried by this time. I told the bi vs it was time to deli er the letter, provided Garfield would promise not to sav anvthing more about it. ' alkin,g over to some I ks, I pretended to be looking for it. But he hasn ' t promised. 1 said, and pretended to be hiding the letter. And just then Garfield made a flying tackle for the books. The n.oni re- sounded with excited cheering and hearty lau.ghter, mingled w ith falling books. The thing had gone far enough. I ' ll tell the old boy where the epistle is. spoke u]) Rill. I mailed it on the train yesterday. You see, I did you a favor, and yon thought s imel odv had hidden it. 20S Carticld lieard the w. m-,1s with a .Iry ,L;rin, c lli.ai,L;ln vc kiu-w what he- was thinUiiiy- iif. l)ut uc (h(hi ' t. - lichen eil he was simply eniljarrassecl be- cause he liail been tui, aiixinus in tryini; t receiver the letter.

Later the society halls were brilliantly lighted; the band was playing; a gay, rollicking crowd was pushing and crowding, laughing and talking. All eyes, strange to say, turned toward the door as Garfield entered with Rachel Irving nestling close to his side. He nimbly helped her take off her overshoes, wraps, and elegant robe, uncovering the gorgeous red and the sweet-scented American beauties. Stepping up close, in a low tone he said : O. how I ' m honored with such a lovely — Somebody touched him lightly on the shoulder. Mr. Garfield. I ' m so glad I could come, if it was at the last moment. How are yon ? Garfield turned at the suund of the familiar voice. It was Mary, hanging on Bill ' s arm ! Garfield is now in the College Hospital, but is slowly recovering. Bill says he will be out in a week or so. but adds : I reckon he ' ll carry a fluttering heart to his dying day. Lew L.
