FIFTY YEARS PROFESSOR OF GREEK IN WAKE FOREST COLLEGE THE SCHOLARLY TEACHER THE FAITHFUL PREACHER THE LOVING FRIEND THE CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN THIS NUMBER OF THE HOWLER IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE EDITORS William Pailcp EopaU, B.B., HIL.IB. In Professor Dowden ' s deliglitful life-story of Robert Browning lie speaks of the inadequateness of a simple narration of facts when the chief concern of the reader is a biography of the mind. The like difficulty confronts the writer in the attempt to construct a biographical sketch of Dr. William B. Royall, for the ):)are relation of the details of a life of this truly great and good man would be insufficient to give a correct idea of his greatness as a teacher and the good- ness and gentleness of his character and influence. In the limited space, there- fore, at our disposal it will be necessary to pass rapidly over the facts of his life and to mention the more obvious characteristics of personality, leaving the bi- ography of the mind — that beneficent and lovable nature that really makes the man — to the sweet and tender memories of the thousands of friends who know and love him. William Bailey Royall was born September 2, 1S44. at Mount Pleasant, S. C, in view of the city of Charleston. It is no mean honor to lie descended as he was from a noble Huguenot ancestry, a sjilcndiil iicojile who have so greatly en- riched and eml)ellished the moral and intellectual lifi ' of , merica. His father was Dr. William Royall — claruin et venerahile iiinncn — a scholar and teacher of wonderful versatility and a preacher .second to none in inspiration anil depth of thought. This learned and godly father was the fruitful mentor of the son, who, at the early age of ten, began under him the study of Greek and enjoyed the un- surpassed advantage of his influence and instruction during the four years from 18.5.5 to 1859 that he was a student at Furman University. In 1860 the family removed to Wake Forest, from which institution Dr. Royall was graduated with the Bachelor ' s Degree in 1861, and the Master ' s Degree upon his return from the war in 1866. Immediately after his graduation he entered the Confederate Army, being at first a corporal in the Santee Artillery of Manigault ' s South Carolina Bat- tallion. Ilpon the appointment of his father as Chaplain of the 55th North Carolina Regiment, the son was transferred to that command in 1862 and served under Longstreet, A. P. Hill, and Robert E. Lee, being with Ceneral Lee at the Surrender at Appomatto.x. During these four years of storm and stress he maintainetl an ardent and enthusiastic devotion to the Greek langviage, as a result of the influence of the scholarly and inspiring teaching of his old master at Furman, Professor P. C. Edwards. On his return from the war he at once took charge of a preparatory school, which he conducted with such success that he was elected a member of the Faculty of Wake Forest College in .January, 1866, and lias thus attaiiic d the unique record of having completed a half-centurj- of continuous ser dce as a col- lege professor. Dr. Royall was ordained as a minister of the gospel in 1869, and for thirty- seven years served as pastor of countrj ' and village churches. In all of these churches the memory of his gentle influence and untiring devotion is cherished as a perpetual benediction. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Jud.son Col- lege in 1886, and that of Doctor of Laws by Furman University in 1907. Dr. Royall ' s scholarship is solid, profound, and discriminating, and yet is pervaded by a most delightful and refreshing modesty that forbids an ' undue display of the depth and extent of his erudition. These endowments of learning and simplicity, combined with an intimate knowledge of and sympathy with his fellow-men, an extiuisite tactfulness, a clearness of vision and fa.stidiousness of taste, have made him an itleal teacher. No earnest student ever came under his influence without feeling the inspiration toward the good and the beautiful in life. The.se same characteristics are illustrated in his literary productions, which are models of chaste, i)ure and simple language. . s a minister of the gospel Dr. Royall has always felt a peculiar delight and satisfaction, and his influence in this fichl of labor has l)een. perhaps, as deep and far-reaching as in his teaching. Thoroughly orthodox, and yet devoid of the arroganc.v of orthodoxy, genuinely evangelical, ami yet free from emotion- alism and sensationalism, clear concise, effective, and authoritative in his preach- ing, with a spirit of beautiful charity toward the erring and of tender .sympathy for all trouble and suffering, he has been unrivaled as a pastor and preacher. For over forty years he was the adviser and examiner of the ministerial students of the College, and the .same gentleness and graciousness that characterized his own ministry wen ' in rich measure imparted to the young men who began their spir- itual labors with his kindly counsel and encouragement. It is impossible to wTite of Dr. Royall as a friend and an a.ssociate: the heart grows full and worils are inadequate. We who have known him, who have seen the beauty and gentleness of his home life, his quiet geniality and cheerfulness in the social zircle. his Christlike patience in trials and sufferings, his unosten- tatious piety, and his unswerving loyalty to all that is true, noble, and good, we love him from the depths of our hearts and we honor him with full devotion. We fervently l)ra_ - that many years may yet be added to the beautiful and useful life of this servant of (iod. OuH Phesidext jFacultp WILLIAM L.

Mecklenburg County, North Carolina A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck. Abemethy has more pep. to the square inch than any other man in college. His work on the gridiron has many a time featured in putting the ball over the line. He varies from the general rule in that he has won distinction, but also in the foren.sic arena. From the time of the Newish contest in which he showed good form. hLs brilliancy in public speaking has steadily increased. During his stay here he has won a host of friends, not only among the athletic supiwrterv. but also among every cUlss of fellows in college, . fter using the ■■hickor - stick for a while he will employ his time in smoking cigars and exhorting the jury. With his qualities of true worth and dignity he will achieve success in whatever he undertakes. Age 24. height -t feel 7 inches, weight ISO. .1. Iv AxDUEWs, U.S.. Er. WiLshington County.

His scholarship is un- questioned, and he has held the enviable, though arduous, position of Secretarj- to the Dean for four years. As a speaker he is unpar- alleled, and he can always bring his opponents to earth by his con -incing arguments and withering sarcasm. No one is more ready to do his comnides a goo l turn, and he will always inconvenience himself rather than refuse to help some one who ne His assistance.

That he was good football material has been proved by his three seasons on the gridiron. He has taken an aetive part in all phases of college life except politics, though he is well known and popular, — the essential qualities of a poli- tician. As a Society man, he ranks among the foremost of our s tudent-body. Desjute the tendency that Athletics, Society and popular- ity have to separate a man from his books, thLs is not so with Bill. His power of concen- tration, coupled with a superabundance of en- erg -, have placed him high on the ladder of fame, and he is going to graduate in three years with high honors. Cheerful, industri- ous, persistent, he is sure to succeed in the battles of life. Age 18, height 5 feet 11 inches, weight 155.

It is due to the fact that he is a native of Wake Forest that he has become so proficient in the world of athletics. For four years he has been one of the best basketball fomards ever seen on our floor, and by his sensational goal shooting he has uuned many seeming defeats into vic- tories. This season Bill has broken his former reconi for goal shrjoting, registering in one game eighteen field goals. He is a ' ital part of the team that h:is this year easily won the .

Preacher won his name, probably, by the babble of polite talk which he is capable of releasing from smiling lips. This gift ()f easy and inconsequential conversation, together with a cherubic pinkness of complexion and a gal- lantry of iM ' aring, makes him one of our most successful ladiesmcn. However, there is another side to his college life. Preacher Ls ever on the job when it comes to the newspa[)er business, antl he is often seen pacing over the campus in quest of news with which to en- lighten the State.

No! Certainly not! We came to coUegc with a vast store of worldly knowledge. After making one thoroughly acquainted with the fourth dimension, we could then explain in the most minute details the .Upha and Omega of the sixth sense. But, strange as it may appear, those gentle and majestic sovereigns, more familiarly kno«ii as Sophomores, were not content to staml by, and look on in that ' Come do«ii Freshmen tone of voice. Suf- fice it to say that, after the dust and smoke of battle had drifted away, we emerged with the modestv of a blushing dam.sel. Yes! FeUow-sufTerers, we had to learn. Thanks to the kindness of his high lordship, Mr. John McCormiek, for the Bird of Para- disc at Wake Forest, whose palatial domicile was used as a fortress in which to organize. But some of the Sophs, were present, and in great glee started upstairs to the Xcwish meeting. But our stronghold could not be surrendered! Sophs, had surrounded the house when our prominent divine. Mr. IJcnjaniin Ingram, called for volunteers to guard the class at the head of the stairs. The rebellious little band that was stationed there extended to the intruders an invitation to retire. But the .Sophs, did not accept, and this kind invitation was later accom- plished by both insistence and assistance. The organization was completed in peace and the httle band of Freshmen, numbering one hundred and sixty strong, m:irched two abreast through the college campus, marking time to the whistle of the indignant Sophomores. The second rebellious march was made in the spring of our Freshman year, when the Base- ball champions of the South defeated A. M . The news of our victor - reached the Hill. Skys, LawyPf . Doctors, Teachers. Freshmen and all, resp )nde l to the call for volunteers with one accord. The battle-en,- was On to Raleigh, and a La dc Box-car wius the mode of travel. A triumphant march up Fayetteville street and the remains of A. M. were laid to rest at Meredith. On entering college, in September 1913, we passed from under the bonds of tj-ranny into tlic golden days of our youth. From a year of oppression to a year of anarchy. Now, as our distinguished Profe.s.sor Lake hxs aptly said: To every action there is an equal reaction, and ill the opposite direction. And it is needless to say that reaction was strongly in our favor. Tlic Sophomore chiss was abroad chuss, its activities extending from Xorlina on the North, to .lohnscin street of the South, and covering all the intervening territory-. We realized our newly inherited responsibilities and s| are l no small amount of exertion in attempting, as we thought, some much-needed reforms. We were ver - sociable and agreeable-cspecially to Freshmen. We felt it our duly to welcome the Freshmen. And we gave a most hearty welcome to all we could find, and dutifully hunted for the rest. I might add, in p:issing, that Jack Blackmon, the breaker of girls ' hearts and referee jaw-bones, and his shy little accompanist, Robert, Lafayette, Needham, Zadock, Thom|)s in, Whitley, were the chairmen of this Freshmen reception com- mittee. Oh yes! Ihey personally provided ample entertainment for all the First Year gentle- men. But. to the crwlit of our chuss the historian may add. that the barber shops complaine l of a decided decreiuse in midnight scrubbing, which so often came lus a result of blacking. It W!is in this year that we contributed largely to the ' ' arsity Football team, giving such immortals as Moore, Blackmon, Stallings, Riddick, Powell, White and Daniels. And it is need- less to say that we won the chiss championship in Basketball. What class team can beat a leiun which Wiis represented by Hall, Robert Holding, Hensley, Yates, .■Vshcraft, and Huntley? On the ' Varsity Baseball team our men were Holding, Daniels, Ferree and Moore. Freshmen are concwled to be fresh. Sophomores wise, and Seniors dignified, but Juniors— Oh, well, they are nothing in particular. But the scribe of this humble chronicle h:is the sup- port of the entire cliuss behind him in declaring that our Junior Chuss was an exception to the rule. With the advent of our Junior year, we were vaguely forward to the termination of our college cariH-r, and, of course, it was neces.s:u-y to a.ssuine a false dignity. In this year the well known Baird Kdwards succeeded the renowned - ' Dad Ferre - on the cla.ss pedestal of honor.

In fact the class was so over- crowded with brilliant men that we contributed heavily to llic 191. ' class. We subscribed our proportionate part for the building of the new church and furiiislicd an iiinisual number of men for the ' Varsity teams.

Xow that the collegiate battles are over, we soldiers rejoice as we gather around our battle standard — the Alma Mater of oiu- college days. The class of 1916 had been subjected to many disastrous diseases, but probably the most disastrous has been that of love. For love is only a disease. The first epidemic appeared among the wearers of trou.sers, locally known as college arelights. First there was a slight at- tack of self-love. But who could be content with loving one ' s self while Meredith and other colleges for the training of young women were so near by? And then it was so cumbersome to love one ' s self. Why not broaden out in other directions? In accordance with this sug- gestion .Stallings, Ncwbold and Lee Parker were elected chairmen of this Fall in Love com- mittee. Oh, yes, the disease became quite contagious under their guidance, terminating in matrimony in case of the Reverend Barnes, who brought a modest bride iiiln our midst at Yuletide. The second victorious march of our college career was made in January of niii- , ' ciiiiir vcar. The historian can only give expression to this eventful march by means of poetry, bciiiti indclited to Robert Burns, who attempted to picture a similar situation on the field of Battle: Boys, who Fayetteville street did tread.

It befell somewhat after this fashion: In the spring of 1936, the President of the Class of ' 16, Dr. J. G. Booe, home on a furlough from the foreign fields, WTote to the secretary of the aforesaid class, Rev. Kyle M. Yates, and suggested that he issue a circular letter to all the members of that chuss who were then in the land of the living, and request that they all meet in a reunion at the Wake Forest Commencement of that year, celebrating the second decade since their graduation. The suggestion was received with enthusiasm — it was just what we had all been wishing for — to renew old aequaintances and meet again friends whom we had not seen in many years. Besides, several had .sons who were gi-aduating. and they were coming anyway; still more had sons in the lower cla.sses whom they had tlutifully .sent on to their Ahna Mater, and all thought it necessary that Ihey should come and sec how their respective progeny were progressing. As it was planned, so it occurre l, and on Saturday before Commencement gray-haired alunmi could be seen alighting in groups from the dozen or so passenger trains that now run through Wake Forest since the Seaboard has been doiihle-tracked. You shoukl have heard the cheers the earlier arrivals gave each bunch of old boys that eame in, with voices that could still make Wake ' em up ring in spite of increasing years. Yes, most of them turned up on Saturday because they wished to hear the sermon the next day by their classmate. Rev. F. W. Carroll, of the Grabanickel church in Atlanta, now be ' ome an eminent theologian with a nation- wide reputation. All over the campus, now adorned by two new dormitories and a new Science building, could be seen old friends meeting one another and slapping each other on the back just as they used to in days gone by. Here is a group admiring a bronze figure of Dr. Taylor that has been set up under the old oaks, the gift of a former class. Ix ' t us have a look and .see who they are. Hello! There ' s Dr. K. Casteen, head of the State Sanatorium for the treatment of pellagra; and there is W. A. Riddick, a famous scientist, and talking with him Carey J. Hvmter, a noted journalist and editor of the greatest newspaper in the State of California, who hius come all the way from the west just for this occasion, and Dr. G. D. Rowe, whose health broke down a little over a year ago while serving in the new American Hospital in Peking, China. The others of the group are Prof. ' . R. Ferrell, just returned from studies abroad; C. R. Franks, a prominent lawyer in the city of Charlotte; Dr. D. R. Perr ' , who is still practicing medii-ine in his home town f)f U ' akefield, happily married however, years ago — that is his eldest .son with him n  w, by the way; ami the two brothers J. H. and E. P. Whitley, who have formed the firm of Whitley Whitley, and are prominent cori)oration lawyers in New Jersey. Let us move on across the campus and see what other familiar faces we can find. Ha! There is old Jack Blackmon! A doctor of prominence now, through his discovery of a great nerve restorer, compo.sed of a distillate of the antennie of the soldier ant. the crystal, saccharine fluid exuded by the minute plant Droscni mlundifolin, and a third element which he has care- fully kept secret.

Olive have jerked the tail of the soda-fountain in Holding Holding ' s Soda and Ice Cream Parlor for many a year, seeming satisfied with the job. Prof. R. H. Taylor is Prin- cipal of the Wake Forest High School, now grown to large proportions (the school, not Prof. Taylor), and a necessary adjunct to the college. W. C. Harward is also employed here as Instructor in Manual Training and Director of the Playgrounds. L. A. Bird, W. A. Harris, and E. B. Whitehurst have taken over the former Dunn Plow Company ' s foundry and are rapidly enlarging the business. If you are ever in Wake Forest droji in to sen any of these gentlemen— they will be glad to talk over old times with you. Judge Ferree says that he has a ease to come up soon in whidi (Jiflic Stallings is to lie tried for attempting to hobo it on a freight. It seems that (iiftie rather unnecessarily has attempted to iniitiite Walt ' liitrnan and follow the open road. The lawyers for the plaintiff are B. M. Boyd and W. H. Lyon; for the defendant, B. Ray Olive and J. H. Barnes. The case promises to be very interesting, owing to certain details. J. M. Kesler, leading architect in Greensboro, says that W. F. Taylor is siuveying the site of a large power plant on the Amazon river and cannot leave liis job to attend our reunion, and that R. F. Hough is also in South America attending to the foreign interests of the Bell Telejihone Company; well, we miss the old boys, but are glad to know that they are doing well. Rev. I. L. Bennett, our State Secretary for the Baptist Board of Education, tells me that nearly all the Skys of our Class are prosjiering: Blackman, Ingram, Redwine, Powell — all have good churches, but are so busy that they cannot meet with us. Rev. G. V. Stephens and 0. T. Mills are here from their pastorates in Fort ■V ' orth, Texas. Hut the greatest event nf all was the banquet held on Wednesday night of Commence- mcnl week. All the Alunmi wIid coulil possibly attend were there; speeches were made, and the grajje-juiee flowed freely. The most notable talk of the evening was made by E. B. Cox on The Why and the Wherefore of the Whichness, a speech loudly applauded and pro- nounced deep stuff by Prof. W. B. Wright and W. H. Deitrick, a prominent business man of Rolesville. Jack Beal was requested to relate how he originated his famous cartoon character of Bumbum the Hobo, which he did in a few words, slating that Prof. A. C. Lovelace had been kind enough to pose for him. Toasts were proposed ami other speeches followed. Dr. S. B. Moore gave a short, interesting discussion on the effect of a radium collar button upon the thyroid gland, though he said that he was somewhat indebted to Dr. Sledge for statistics. Other spiels were made by attorneys W. F. Ward and H. H. Whitley, Drs. Tatum and Sigmon, W. S. Burleson and H. J. Pope, after which were read telegrams from Chief Justice Downing, Dr. A. L. Denton, J. B. Jones, Rev. C. Thomas, the Campbell brothers, L. W. Smith, Dr. E. S. Thomp.son, and a score of others, regretting that they could not be present to aid in our celebration. By this time it was well on toward morning, so H. R. Paschal proposed that we sing a tune and break up; this suggestion was accepted, and, after waking G. tl. Moore, R. L. Whitlry. L P.

Class of I9I6 (Seal) 83 Senior Uote ' lien Ihf last great meeting of the Senior Class was announced excitement ran high, can- vasses were numerous. Cigars, soda-checks, promises of support, and other electioneering i ar- :il)hernalia were extravagantly displayed. The unfortunnfc who had always lost out at legging were making their first desperate effort to win, and tin- politician realized this was his last oppor- tunity to pull off one. The confusion that reigned over the meeting would make a suffragette raid look like a fu- neral procession. When the big president pealed forth with his thunderlike voice everything be- came silent except Canady, who so persisted with his characteristic legging that it was necessary to vote him an office before the object of the meeting could be announced. Without opposition he was elected College Legger. Saunders thought he heard the president announce some office for Anniversary, and asked Alex Hall to nominate him, which he did; but it was for President of the Ananias Club. There was no opposition. A hot contest followed in the race for the biggest rounder Ix ' lwecn Hillic (ini-ii ami Las- siliT. When Bill was defeated he voted to make it unanimous in order that he nuglit liave no opposition as Faculty Legger. Denton, A. L., was the Optimist by common consent, while Moore, S. B,, was voted the Pessimist. The Most Feministic was given to Strolc without dissent, while Lee Parker had to fight for his place as the Biggest Sport. Since Doctor Ferrell was nominated for both Hot Air Hag and Dude, it was thought best to withdraw his name to avoid a party si lit. The organization of a political triumvirate bent on big things resulted in E. P. Whitley being he Biggest Ladicsman, Franks, the Most Reserved, and Ferdy Johnson, the Biggest Bore. When it came to the Best Athlete several names were proposed. George Moore w-as mentioned, but because of his hard work in the past and his recent attention to the fine arts, it was feared he could not maintain this record. Ben Covington was elected to this place be- cause he had never exercised himself to his own hurt. George Mooro withdrew from the race to run for the Best Singer, which he got without opposition. Gifty Stallings ' s speech nominating Mills as the Brightest Man, resulted not only in the election of Mills, but led to Giftie ' s being elected B. S. Shooter. The political steam roller was i)ut on and crushed out every vestige of opposition. This organization is composed of an unconquerable combination who were bent on self-aggrandize- ment. This resulted in putting in R. L. W. X. Y. Z. Whitley the Most Studious, Alex Hall, Drug Store Supervisor, Ferree, Best Politician, and Preacher Olive, Tightwad. Hardboy Dixon agreed not to oppose Jack Beal for the Best Looking Man if he would vote for him for the Neat- e.st Dressed Gentleman. Bill Holding was elected the Wittiest when he noniinaled Sutton as Lugirian. but Sutton was defeated by J. B. Jones when lie explained why Tinkey Pope should be elected Heart Breaker. The election was interrupted just at this point by a quarrel between Red Thompson and Red Williams about who.se hair was the reddest. For their daring deeds of heroism displayed at different times and under various circum- stances, Blackman, Riddick, W. A., and Stallings were unanimously voted the Most Patriotic. For the patriotic si eechcs over these heroic deeds, R. H. Taylor was the only man nominated for the Best Orator. The foregoing are the unc hangable decrees, not because of anything that has gone before or anything that shall come after, but because it was voted by the Senior Class of 1916.

We heard the shrill cries of the Sophs, on a Mid for Newish, and a few minutes later we were invited to join m the war dance We succeeded in outfighting the Sophs, and had our class picture made, also outwitted them and had our first meeting. We got out very good basket- hall and baseball teams. Hiving passed through the joys of our Newish year and a pleasant vaca- tion we again arrived on the hill as Sophs, ninety strong. This was the renais- sance for us. Soon we got ourselves in fine .shape for work, and had an excell. ' ut basketball team. The first game was played with the Juniors, which r. sultcl in our favor, the score being twenty-eight to twenty-one. The members o our team were- Carlvle, Franks, Deitrick, DowcU ami Williams. They caused the class to be proud of them. We were not iuite as successful m ba.seball. The Juniors and Sophs, both beat us by large scores. Owing to disagreeable weather the games with the Seniors and Faculty we re postponed until it was too near commencement. We were certain of a victorj- from the Seniors and had hopes of winning from the Faculty. , , i v - c The ' Varsitv football sciuad was greatly strengthened by the addition of such of our men as Langston, Parker, Howell, Harris and Duffy. We contrib- uted also to the basketball and track squads, giving them Franks, Daniels and Savage. Also in the literary life of the college we ilid not fear, for there were Hutchins, Newton, Hughes, Boyd, Hayes, Daniels, Jones and Smith. We might mention here that we did what we could to down the barbarous practice of hazing, decreasing the number of Newish blacked from fifteen to three. We also took a stand against fraternities, making the college spirit as democratic as possible. When the fall of 1915 came around seventy members answered to the roll call. Some, becoming dissatisfied, joined the Seniors, and others failed to show up but the noble seventv had the pep and started things off lively. Football was the first test of strength. The team did fine work under Coach Dixon. Now the game with the Seniors— these being the strongest team in col- lege The game started off with small gains on either side, the ball stayed near the center of the field; but in the la.st of the secon.l half the Seniors, by putting up a pluckv fight, got the ball in our territory and. in the meantime. Perry kicked goal, ■ hen the game was called it stood three to nothing in favor of the Sen- iors. The fact that we failed to win the championship is no reproach when one considers that we have furnished far more than our share to the ' Varsity stars. Our basketball team developed nicely and soon showed that we had the fastest team in college, beating the Seniors and Newish. The Sophs, won tlie championship, because they had to have something to make them feel theii importance. We cannot tell what our men will do in track and l)asel)all, l)ut the outlook is encouraging. As a class we will lie behind anything they do. We cannot end this Class History without making some mention of the patriotic work of J. G. Savage, in other words See, in keeping the clothes of our members neatly pressed, and acting as mail carrier up Faculty Avenue. We hear mth regret that he expects to leave is in a short wliile to settle in Baltimore, at least for a week or so. ' Purp Blanchard was accused of setting fire to the New Dormitory to keep from paying his contingent deposit, and, after mvich iilending bcf(]rc the faculty, we finally succeeded in clearing him of the deed. Our greatest loss was when our cinly jirizc fighter, Bap SaiiiidiTs, jdincd the Seniors. We now liave no one to defend u in time of peril. With all our niistmiuin ' s we have had ii remarkable history. We expect great lliings oi our iiii-ii in I lie roining years. HlST(llU. N f iinior Class ropijccp Yes they chose me for prophet of the Junior Clu s (the eighth wonder of the world). Realizing that I was not a prophet. I began to make a rather ex- tensive research into mv family hi- ton. to learn whether or not I was the . on of ■I prophet This task proved most discoviraging. I found, on mve.stigation. Ihat but one of mv either near or remote ancestors, had l een accused of such a title this being mv great-great grandmother ' s half-brother, who was called weather prophet, being six feet six. In fact, almost all my progenitors were so nearsighted that they were compelled to wear double reinforced glasses m order to see much farther than the end of their nose. Being a rather ambitious lad. I determined not to let such conditions baffle me Mv cla.-smates ha.l elected me. and it was up to me to prove that they had made a wise choic.-. So I st ' t out with this one en.l in view, that of becom- ing what we commonlv call a selfmade. So earlv in the fall I fell to this dignified undertaking. Mosscovered. anti- ouited HOWLEKS were lrawn forth from their long. undisturl ed position. The prophecies of the pa.st sages I devoured with eager eyes, noting, as I read, where each of mv forerunners had gained his inspiration. fter reading these and studying the lives of all the great prophets, to the extent that 1 exhauste.l the supply of the Wake Forest Lilirary, I contmued so far IS to search all th.- libraries of Forestville, Youngsville, and Neuse. and spent one dav in the gr. ' at Librarv of Wyatt. hoping that by the help of these I might be enabled to look bevond the dark curtain. Fortlurith. I set out m quest of some of these oracles, I vi.Mted -Wolfden, ' -Hurricanes.

Exciting and varied were my experiences, but, all alike, ended in miser - and disappointment. Was it pos.sible that there was no one who could read the future, or had my class fallen from its high estate. . fter months of continued effort I gave way under a nervous breakdo«-n, all hopes gone. Mv failure was too much for me. I could no longer look my classmates in the face. In this frame of mind I decided upon a most desperate deed. So. one spring evening just as the sun was kissing Sunset Rock good-bye, I climbed with feeble hands and tottering knees to the top of the water tank, to do what I hope l would ea.se my troubled heart. I had bade the world good- bve and was in the act of jumping, when an unseen hand was placed upon my shoulders while a voic,. said: Alas, you shall know! C ' knuls came between me and the ground, I was enraptured with the scene. Bv this same unseen hand I was given a telescope and told to look. Mv i„v was complete I put the telescope to my eyes and, behold, I dipped inf, the ' future as far as juiman ey e could see. Looking to the south, I .saw a spot of eartli, which the v,,i,.c said wis Robe son County. As I looked, I beheld one plowing a gray mule while ten huskv children picked up corn stalks about him. I at once recognizeil this to be my beloved classmate. Rev. J. S. Johnson. Although his face was rather haggard I was told that his domestic relations, his gray mule and his four churches had been almost too much for the brother. On looking the secon.l time, I saw one Dr. F. M. Barnes near by, trying earnestly to persuade Rev. .lohnsou to allow lam to phrenologize his children at ten cents per head. ( ' hariotte then came within the scope of my view. Painted in large letters on a wind,,w of on.- the city ' s tallest skyscrapers I read: Bovd Hutchiiis Attorneys at Law and Live Stock Dealers (mostlv Bull ). Ju.st below this window I read J. H. R. Booth, Horse Doctor and Agent for Aluminum Ware My attention was next directed to an operating table, which I was told was m Raleigh. There stood my cla.ssmate J. S. Brewer, giving a patient rtUrv whi ' le Roliert Huml)er cut a knot hole out of his wooden leg. Dr. Foster was seen near by, trying to figure out some means of making such operations p ' linicss Fearing to trust myself further, I now turned to Wake Forest Here I saw many additions to the Faculty. Bun Rucker was teaching the new ch-ur ' of Legging. H. H. Hamilton had Mr. Lassiter ' s place, teaching music, assisted by A. . Dowell. J, M. Hester was teaching the Art of Dignity and Expression and was also pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Wake Forest. I now let my glass wander over various parts of Eastern North (■■irolina Many strange sights I beheld. At last my eyes were caught bv a stree ' t scene m the midst of which Peewee Blanchard, with tones that would arou.se the sleeping Demostlienes, preaching to throngs of people, while White W E passed around the hat, keeping time with Jocko Rav ' s furious beats of tlu ' d ' rmn These gentlemen had been received by the Salvation Army. I wish to stop here to offer an apology. I was so overcome bv this sight that I dropiXHl my telescope, my prophetic vision vanished. Had this not hap- pened I might have told the future of all my clas.smates.

Long will that time stand out in our minds, adorned with golden reminiscences — that day when we passed for the first time under Pro Humanitate and turned our ambitious toes upon the Campus Boule- vards of Knowledge, towards the far distant Citadel of Wisdom. That begin- ning of our college career was not heralded by trumpet blasts — except for a few Sophomore hoots. It was quiet and earnest. Xor was our first year marked by any granil display of spectacular phenomena. We stayed in our holes — as meek and lowly Newish should — and studied, keeping eyes and cars open, and mouth shut. Thus we passed through the pupa stage. In the due course of time, September of 1915 saw us burst from the chrysalis and flop our wings in the gay sunshine of Sophomority. The paramount feature of our history as Sophomores is our record in inter- class athletics. In the fall semester our football team, coached l)y Samuel Thomp- son, upheld the sacred Soplionioric tradition of defeating the Freshman team. Two touchdowns, scored by Pennell anil Savage, and two goals, kicked by Sav- age, gave us the victory with a score of 14 to 0. In our first game on the bas- ketball floor we won from the Freshmen by 21 to 14. Subsequently we took the class championship, winning over the Seniors by a score of 27 to 22. It is our hope, of course, to win the ba,sel)all championship in the spring, thus to be- come the onmi-victorious class, a distinction which has not been made in many years. Our achievements are not limited to the field of athletics, for we have been well re])resented in the literary and forensic activities of the college. Of the contributions to the Sliidcnl made by undergraduates, almost half have thus far been made by members of our class. Two of the leading contributors are Soph- omores- Mallard and Hester. Nor have our men been obscure on the floor of l)ublic debate. In the Society Day debate our representatives, Olive and Mc- Cann, delivered excellent speeches, to the credit of themselves and their cla.ss. And, aside from these public affairs, in the everyday routine of academic work our classmen have made records that will rival tho.se of the other classes. As a class we are proud of our work this year. But we do not mean to boast. These few achievements are, indeed, only a small beginning. There is a long iciad before us yet. The end is .still far distant. In fact, we are still traveling towards the real beginning, the Commencement. We are looking beyond — even beyond that happy graduation day — into the life that lies ahead for each one of us. And, in that great battlefield of life, we mean to do things which will cause men to jioint with admiration to North Carolina, and cause North Carolina to pride herself in Wake Forest, and cause Wake Forest to honor her sons of the Class of ' 18. HlST()UI. N opfjomore Class! ropfjecp Not being a prophet nnx ' lf, or the -on of a prophet, I wondenMl why the mantle of proph- ecy should have fallen on me. Thinking a mi-stake hatl sur !y l eon made, I began to remove its clinging folds from my body, but no sooner had m hand IoiU ' he l Ihe cunningly wrought embroiderj ' than a peculiar sensation crept over me — I was aware of an overmastering Pres- ence, and a sweet persuasive voice began to speak thus: I am the spirit of the Future, O man. I ' nto me is revealed the destiny of mortals, and I have been commissioned to enlighten you. the prophet of the Sophomore Class of 1916 of Wake Forest College, as to the future of certain memlx-rs of that cUu%s. Before me then began to unfold a panorama of overj-day life cjust in the future, and the first figure to attract my special attention w:us that of a man well on in midille life. His handsome countenance radiated ha| - I iness and his dress bespoke prosperity. A closer scrutiny confirmwl the identity of my old friend, Durham Moore. L ' nseen by him, I followed his footsteps, and was much pleased to note that he made his way as one having authority into a most pretentious bank building. Clerks showed him unusual deference, and when he entered Ihe office sacred to the president I understood the situation fully. His secrctar ' enleretj as Durham was kioking over the mail to introduce another familiar figure. So into his private office entere ! a large, fine-looking man, somewhat burdened with an unwiehly package. The president no sooner saw the pack- age than he recoginzetl Earl Hamrick, his erstwhile partner in Ihe unbleacheil .sock business at Wake Fore-sl College. He began to laugh as he hurriedly glance I about to see that no intrud- ers were watching this business transaction. Earl wanted the bank to finance a scheme to supply the students of the college with unbleached socks. Hus resources, though ample, had been depleted in paying exorbitant fees to the distinguished lawj ' er, J. li. Pennell, to get him out of scrapes for Uwking too long and fondly ujwn the fair sex. This distinguished barris- ter, for the sake of old times, gave the matter his ix ' rsonal attention, and the records of the day attest to the masterly manner in which he handled the suit. Another .scene came before me. I seemed to be in the maze of city streets where electri- city was used in all the up-to-date advertising schemes. It gleame i at one fn m the sidewalk, raced up and down tall buildings, telling in flashes of colored lights the stor of the city ' s com- merce. Mcthought :us I thus gaze l enraptured, surely this is the perfection of advertising, when suddenly I saw a figure emerge from the throngs in the street whom I recognized to be iSam Thompson, his runty figure making him conspicuous. He seemed to be toiling under the weight of a hea ' ' ladder, which he finally imfoldetl, and, climbing up to the top of a ver ' tall building, began to manipulate a paint brush with such skill that soon thert- blazed in large illum- inating letters, this sign— „. x. , ,,. . . M. DiCKSox, Jr., Horist. Perceiving that this magnificent establishment was owned by my oM college friend, I pushed my way thrr)ugli ihe crowds and into this great building, and saw before me one of the most beaulifid displays of flora, both of this country and Ihe east, thai my eyes had ever beheld. A beautiful woman and two cherubic children .seemed to be quite at home in the ofllice of this establishment; so I concluded that William had transplanted into this collection of growing flowers, the Ro.se of his heart. antl the picture w:is intleed lovely. I made myself acquainted and was turning t( go when 1 .saw a male of the species known as Lady Killers whom close scrutiny revealed to Im Charles Kendrick, still buying flowers for his many inamoratas. He w:is glad to see me and began lo talk xs fast lus an adding machine al out ihe greatest advertis- ing scheme in America today. He said he still fotiml his ild enllege motto a good one — Early to bed, Early to rise, Work like the D And advertise. As with the whifting of a stage setting, the scene changed, and I found myself in a little vil- lage wit li strangely familiar buildings, and yet I was not sure that I was in Wake Forest until I saw an elderly beau dressed to kill whom I recognized to be my old pal, Furman Biggs, twirling a cane as he gingerly picked his way over an old famihar path which led to a certain Beauty ' s house. He was either still busy at the courting game or he had won and was winding his happy homeward. Happy thoughts of my i ast college life so engendered me that I failed to note a queer figure with flowing locks, long coat and high hat, sneaking out from behind the Campus Arch. He leered at every passing boy, licked his lips and showed unmistakable signs of dementia. I asked a first year gentleman, who was passing in breathless haste, who it was. He said That is the Freshman Tormentor, formerly known as J. Vann Savage. He carried his craze of pestering the ' Newish ' too far and, in a skirmish, he had a bad fall which left the poor man with a hallucination that he must ever be on the defensive with the ' Freshman. ' Resting beneath the cool shades of the trees on the Campus I noted several changes. New and modern buildings replaced the older ones. In the crowd of students I recognized not one familiar face, but suddenly there came across to the building dedicated to Mathematics, which was a gift to the college from L. G. Ellis, the World ' s Champion Pitcher, who when wealth came to him remembered his Alma Malcr in this substantial way — there came, I say, to this build- ing a distinguished scholarly man, deep in thought. The snow of many winters sat lightly upon his erstwhile raven locks. He turned to see who rested under the college shade, and lo! I saw my old chum, W. B. Gladney. He had graduated in law at Wake Forest, then at Tulane in his own State, but the call of the schoolroom was too strong, and, after several years trying to fit a round peg into a square holr. hr took up liial brancli of work for wliich he was fitted, and success had crowned his efforts. Ho invited me to stay over and enjoy a nmnber of the Lyceum Course, when a distin- guished platform lecturer was going to present some of his own productions to the critical col- lege audience. I accepted, and you can imagine my surprise when the performer of the even- ing proved to be my old friend and fellow-student, Rail Road Mallard.

' iidid wlien we came to college- li liiiikr ;i great commotion; But when we learned the unwritten law, We had to change thi,s notion. Full well the upper-classmen know That we have tried to heed advice; When we are commanded, we always go. Just ask the Sophs. if we ' re not nice. One little question let us ask — E. plain that we may understand — Why has the Sophomore foigot That he is just an ex-fresli tiimii ' . ' Since we ' ve had Newish pn-paratiim, We believe that we are wise. We shall wait with expectation, Ne. t year ' s Freshmen to advise. We thank our friends, both one and all, Sophomores and all other wise men; We believe you have bravely borne thi.s year ' I ' he unlimited ignorance of the fresh men istorp of tlje Jf resijmau Class A true histon ' is a record of not only the deeds of man, but also the feelings and hopes. If I should be guided by such a definition this histor ' would assume the form of a book, instead of a page in the Howler, because the feelings and hopes of these College lambs have been numenjus and varied. Therefore, 1 shall w nfine myself to an enumeration of our achieve- ments since we came to College. On September the 18th our class was called to meet under the timely direction of Dr. Beam, Chairman of the Freshman Committee. At this meeting the officers for the year were elected. The only other imfxirtant meeting of the class, so far, was the one at which we elected Miss Mar Hiurill xs sponsor. Since that time we have had reason to believe that we could not have made a better choice. On December 3d she gave a reception for the class at Mere- dith. It was a success, and it is an event to which the class jjoints with pride. Contrarj ' to the general rule, that Newish should be seen and not heard, we have been heard on the athletic field. This year ' s football team was materially aidetl by members from our clas: , namely: Robley, Shaw and Turner. Besides these, we had a class team composed of unusually strong men. The Sophomore- Fresh man game was hotly contested and ended in a close score in favor of the up| er-cl:issmen. We attribute this to the fact that their team was better trained than oiu , rather than to the fact that our men did not display genuine ability. In basketball we are contributing our part. The game with the Sophomores was lost, of course, but it could not have been othenvLse, because we are too modest to even aspire to the honor of being class champions. Robley descr ' es special mention because this is the second team on which he has won a place, ami also on account of his brilliant playing at guard. Our career in college is short; con.sequently we do not have a long history. This is no dis- credit to the class for, considering the length of time we have been here, we have made an un- usual record. As is the rule. Freshmen study more than the upper-classmen; thus we have been preparing for the larger things that shall be ours in the futiu-e. However, the above account of our class gives some idea of what may be expecteil later on. This Freshman hLstor is nothing more than an introduction to (he history of our college career. With these facts in mind the historian is com| elIed to predict for the chiss a career that will be unparalleled, one that will go on record as a tribute to the genius of its members, and one that will be an honor to the glo- rious old Class of 1919. HlSTORI. X Jf resfjman Clagg J ropfjccp Being the word of iirupliecy wliieli apijeareil unto A-Diim Newish, prophet of his class during the reign of Beam over the Senate Committee in the land of the wide aWAKE FORESTs and Sophomores, concerning the fates and fortunes of the prospective graduates of 1919: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of some unearthly text-books, I felt the prophetic drowsiness slowly but surely wafting me on gentle breezes of sweetest forgetfulness of the things of the material afar on into the land where all prophets seeminKl ' arr lined to go to receive their in.spiration, — namely, the land of dreams, — and Puck was Iuiiii-Ih,! mr as a guide. Hard Boy Dick Taylor, famous since ilic fcjoiliall gamp between the Newish and Sophs., was the biggest surprise of all. I found that in four short years after leaving Wake Forest Dick had changed his course entirely and was at the head of the Department of Voice Culture at Meredith College, having a.s his able assistants Fred and Knotty Lambert. I learned from him that W. D. McCuUers, who had always avowed that he would some day be in business for him.self, had a General Store at Forestville, and that he carried a good supply of lavaliers just to give to his numerous lady friends. This reminded me of something I had often heard on Mac — but which, for the present, we will pass unheeded. Dick also told me that Proctor, Plunket and Edwards were partners in a barber shop business in Scotland Neck. It seemed that they knew how hair ought nol to be cut, and what ought not to be rubbed on a man ' s face, and I learned they were very successful. President Smith ' s executive ability was still rec- ognized as great and he was mayor of Neuse, of which metropolis John Holman was the con- sta-bule and leader of the band. Here we retiffned to Wake ForesI for a glimpse of some Snpliiiinores of I ' .IKi-l . Coacli Crozier was rather hard pressed for a uian to take Frank ' s place at cenler on the baskelball team when lo! Ennis Jess Willard Bryan started to work with a vim and soon had the place cinched. Our friend Robley wa.s still a star guard and h is Yea Buddy injected much pep into every game. Penny was playing a star game at quarterback for the ' Varsity eleven, hav- ing beat out S. A. Perry by a narrow margin. Perry, it seemed, was very deeply in love and was somewhat prone to stop for a deep sigh, during which process he usually forgot his signals. Shaw had turned his efforts to track work and broken the State record for the pole vault. (It might be added that he also broke the pole.) Roy Lyle, Count De Shazo and Bass formed the backbone of the baseball team, which was captained by our genial friend, Mr. Va.ssey. Uzzle and Sterling ran a close race for the presidency of their class. It was so close that earh with- drew in favor of the other, and Fleetwood was elected. But just here another roving spell struck Robin Goodfcllow, and he declared lliat ihcre had elapsed an interval of ten years in time, and bade me follow him as he lliilnl hen ' and lliere and gave mo glimpses of some more of my companions. Vernon Castle was now a back number in Li ' l ole New York. and 1 fouml liis jilaie of l)rominence filled by none other than L. T. Gibson, whom I remembered as the outdanciu ' est Newish on the hill. My old side-kick. Dean S. Paden, was, I knew, affiliated in .some way with Columbia Ihiiversity; so Gibson and I went out to see him. I found that he had risen to the very highest place possible at Teachers ' College. (He was up there painting the flag pole.) But Puck said we must be getting on, so we went to San Francisco. Here I found Speight and Davis in a studio together, and both were now famous artists. They were just complet- ing their masterpiece — a beautiful representation of Sky Trueblood, in which he was repre- sented as standing behind a tree. Glenn and Stallings had drifted out there from Buie ' s Creek, and were both doing well in the realm of polilics. f ' dcnn was rccogiii .ed as Ihi ' greatest orator on the Pacific Coast and Stallings was his law parliirr. While hen ' I ran up wiili ■Pc Wee 106 White and See. Britt, who were preparing to embark for the Hawaiian Islands to take part in a great swimming contest. Barrett was ac-compauying them, going on to China in search of data for his Historj- of the Chinese Language. But then we started back for Wake Forest. Stopped over at Vandcrbilt University for awhile to see George Lee Burnett, who was head of the Department of Dead Sports and their Languages. Feezor was their coach in baseball and track. Our next stop was Raleigh. We didn ' t have long to stay, but I was ashamed to pass through the old burg without a trip to the Grand, so I persuaded Puck to stay over. We first walked up to the Yarborougli, and lo and behold, 1 saw my old friend, Gifly Blackman all dressed up as a bell boy. I learned that he was a famous detective and was working on some MUhon Dollar Mysterj. In the writing room we met J. W. Bryan, Jr., who was in Raleigh In the midst of a big political campaign. This, however, had not les-sened his mania for Grand programs. Gifty laiil luside his disguise and we all three went and were sur- prised to find Spurgeoun Black directing the Orchestra, with Gomlson playing the swinette. But too s(K n, I had to take my departure for the hill. P;i.ssing through Forestville I saw a sign — MINSTRELS TONIGHT W. LL. CE AND J. . .ND V. NoL. N — featuring — SHORTV RIDGE AssI.

We had a rather lively di.scu.ssion, which s jon led into an exchange of blows, and so vicious was one I received that it knocked me down, and I awoke to the fact thai It was then nearly morning; also to the fact that my prophetic nightmare was over. For this last I was truly gbd, and— but excuse me just a monieni, p|pa.se; the Dormitory is on fire ami 1 shall have to entreat your pardon until 1 can rescue my dear lilllc blue shin which mm her gave n« ' as 1 was leaving home.

The teachers have been making history for the past six years as an orgim- ization. During our four years stay here it has l)een a glorious history, full of renown and glory to our boily. Althougli young in years, we are mature in thought and action. Our greatest task has been to subdue the preachers antl keep them on the strait and narrow path that leads to chastity and restrain them from the coun- cils of the ungotlly. This ta.sk has been successfully aeeom|)lished thus far. The way in which we have accom[)lished this has been throvigh athletics. Everj ' year, excejjt one, has seen the preachers go down in defeat in Viasketball Ijefore the wily teachers. This is our great departmental game. However, our time hius not been taken up wholly with this. We have com- muned together many times in the pa.st year. Great wa.s the congeniality and friendship. Climax wa-s profusely in evidence ami occasionally a cigar. We would discuss the wisdom of establishing disciplinary subjects on the major part of the curriculum of the High . school in preference to the vocational. The opin- ion has been nearly eciually divided. The teachers of the Class of Sixteen are thoroughly prepared for their work, anil, we know, will have great success. Our happiness has been great, and it is with a feeling of regret that we go out from Wake Forest, not to return next year. Historian Having a severe headache, I proceeded to the Chemical Laboratory wliere Dotson proposed instant relief by giving me a hyperdermic. In his haste he procured the wrong bottle and gave me a peculiar anesthetic which put me in a swoon. The peculiar medicine had the effect of flrawing aside the curtain of future events and I saw most vividly my old classmate Lovelace posing for the photographer in East Liverpool. On questioning him further I learned he was advertising cream of wheat every evening as a side issue after having instructed a select body of Irish in English Literature. Before long, however, Ramond Hough flitted across my cerebellum. He had just succeeded Booker T. Washington as President of Tuskcgee Institute and was on his way then to the Clym. to coach basketball for the game against Shaw University. Two pedestrians were suddenly seen coming down a narrow lane wlmsc faces were familiar and, by close observance, I detected Mills with a copy of Pestolozzi in his hand, while at his side was Gregory, who had Rosseau ' s Emile, and Shakespeare ' s Poems. They were on their way to Colizeze, Mexico, having been previously called to the cabinet of Carranza. They info rmed me that our friends Hen- drbc, Eaddy and H. J. Pope had organized a sight-seeing club at Turner Hotel in Ualeigh, were paying five per cent dividends, and that the melon was soon to be cut. All the newspapers had the photo of J. B. Jones on the front page as a candidate for Knight- h(jod. He had just finished his course at the L niversity of Jena and was appointed chief en- gineer of the French Army. His first problem solved was the squaring of Joppa. Accidentally just then I caught a glimpse of Paschal. He had just taken his M.A. at Co- lumbia and was coaching the Cosmos Club at Glen Royal. Hooper had piit up a skating rink in Assyria, having gone to that country with his wife, whom he met in Wake Forest his Junior year. Eddins had just been promoted in the signal service corps in the National Park of Brit- ish India. His particular work was to laugh when wild animals were near. The other boys were all in Mississippi attending the National Teachers Convention, where they hoped to secure positions, except their classmate. Hen Ingram, who was then teaching Bible on Trinidad Island. About this time I heard an explosion and, on awaking, found myself relieved and was glad indeed of the experience without, wliieh 1 might never liavi- known of our irUfi Teachers Class.

I istorp of tfje fHcbical Class The history of the Modical C ' lais of 1910 naturally contains many facts tliat have been contributed to the Howlkk ' s reaiicrs ever since there has been a Medical Class at Wake Forest. Of course, we have sold our old liriibakers and Villipers to the unsusix ct ing Newish Meds. with the same secret joy that was felt by our predecessors when they beguiled us into a similar deal. But why recount the commonplace and trivial when there is such a multiplicity of un- common events to be recorded in this document? Our cosmoixjilan membership was supplied by Xorth and South Carolina and Virginia, together with the metroixjiis, Wake Forest, which contribute l Ilam Davis and that one essential to a complete course in microbiologj ' , viz.. Kito. However, the scattered location of our native heaths did not iirevent us from showing the most congenial il.ass spirit in college. In fact, that congenijility had develoiKHi to such an extent that one Mc l. could not pitch his Apple Sun Cure r ' to a classmate without the Faculty susi ecting a fraternity. Naturally the Mc l. Class did not star in class athletics; our men went right on to the ' :ir- sity, where we were represented in football by Beam, Blackmon, Carter and Rowe; and in bas- ketball and baseball by Beam and Davis. Neither were we great in the .Society halls, for it is generally conce led that our most eloquent speeches were made when pleading for a leave of absence. Was it a reflection on us to have the chairman of the Student Senate and three mem- bers of the Honor Committee .sele ' tcd from our cUiss? The most important accomplishment of the Meilical Class was the organization of the William Edgar Marshall, Jr., Memorial Medical Society. The work done in the meetings of this .Society has instilled into each member the desire for a wider knowledge of up-to-the-minute medical subjects. The various medical reference books the MeiJical .Society addeil to the Li- brar ' are but a nucleus around which we hope a complete Mcilical Library will be gathered. The spirit of research has not been lacking in onr worthy Class. Moore ' s investigation of the rh ix luiicodeuilron, known in Wake county as poison-oak, was so thorough that he will go no further with the subject, becau.se the OKI Man ci nsidere l it as such a bloo ly mess. He will next take up the investigation of xylol asVoon as . ndrews gives him ducks on the bot- tle. Bob ' s careful work in Physiology Lab. will certainly get him a Ph.D., two-thirds of which has already been granted. Frjar has just about perfected a system that will be of vital ser ' icc to mankind when Mrs. Pankhurst ' s cohortettes come into power. During our work here we have done ever -thing in a good-natured manner, being in the very best of humor when hiding one-third of the supply of oil immersions in our locker, hooking Holliday ' s test tubes, expressing our opinion about the gas machine; and s jme seem to think that the Me lical contingent at Raleigh on January ' iTth was not in a very angrj- frame of mind. Thus it is that with sad hearts and great ambitions we bid farewell to the Alumni Build- ing and the Wake Forest Campus.

The elass eonsists of the ministers who are pre- paring themselves to flo ministerial work, on the home field and on the foreign field, as well as those who are ecpiipping themselves to do metlieal missionary work. The elass meets immediately after the opening of the fall term and elects officers whose duty if is to serve throughout the collegiate year. Then the cla.ss holds a weekly convocation at which time it has the privilege of hearing lectures and addresses. The cla.ss has heen fortunate in hearing, during the pa.st year, Dr. Benjamin Sledd, Dr. T. .1. Taylor and the venerable J)r. Henry C. Mabie. The regular leiider of the cla.ss is Dr. V. R. Culloin, who has met with the young ministers of the college weekly for a number of years. Dr. CuUom spares neither energj- nor effort in making these conferences a.s plea.siirable and profit- able as po.ssible, and he has faithfully and courageously stooti by the cla.ss during the past year. His services to the class are of untold benefit. Tlie Ministerial Cla.ss is not a band of goody-goody ' s; but is a body of well- rounded and well-balanced young men. They can be counted on in an3-thing that is honest and honoralile. They are represented in every legitimate phase of col- lege activities. They are equal to their fellows in the classroom, on the debat- ing team, anil in all phases of the literary society work, and they are to be seen in the athletic games. The year opened with the largest number of ministerial students in the his- tory of the College, and a few joined our ranks at the beginning of the spring term. We have lost only a few men during the year. However, at the close of the i)resent .session we will lose twenty of our number. These are those who have been forttmate enough to finish their college course. And so, men may come and men may go. but the Ministerial Class will go on forever. HlSTOKI.

AhlicniKli winning onlj ' three games out of seven, the team proved itself lo ))i ' a (iniek and snappy working ma- chine and to possess a superiority of endurance. To the making of the team and to the wonderfnl enduring powers, nmcli credit is (hie to our coach, Dr. Smith. He put into shape the eleven that this year held A. M. tdmost scan-e- less; that played an amazing offensive game against the heavy Gallaudet team; and that kept the fast V. M. I. aggi-egation uneasy until the last whistle blew. It was through the genemus spirit of Dr. Snutli. because of ids interest in tile ,-,.|[,-ge. Iliat football was uiadr possible this year. FoUowing is tlie schclul. ' as played this year: Florence (S.

M. 1 21 Wake Forest 6 Gallaudet G W ' akc Forest 2S Davidson (Thank.sgiving) 21 W ' ake Forest The first game of the season was easily taken from the Florence Y. M. C. A. by the score Ml lo II. In the next game with Carolma the team had the misfortune of losing Captain Moore from the Une-up, the cause being a wrenched elbow sustained in the eaidy stage of the game. This was the first time in his four years of play at tackle that George ever had to leave the field of battle, and his pep. and ability were greatly mi.ssed by the entire team. In the games with Richmond Blues and Gallaudet, Billings never showed up in better form. His long and accurate pa.s.ses were numerous, while his da.shes around end and spectacular dives were things of great wonder. The game with V. M. I. was much more exciting than the score indicates. The excellent work of Parker at his new position at full was easily the outstanding feature of the game. Time after time he ploughed the line of the Virginians for long gains. The score of the Thanksgiving game with Davidson was not as expected, but the work of the team was fine. Pace played his best game of the sea.son. W s were awarded to the following men: Carter, Howell, Langston, Pace, Holiley, Howe. Shaw, and Turner. Miss Bkssie Huldin Spntisor HASKKTBALL PagfeetbaU The basketball team had the most successful season in the history of the college, setting a record that has not been made in the State for years, and a record that no quint can more than expect to equal, for the Baptist aggregation went through the season, meeting every col- lege Hve in the State, save one, without losing a single game in the State. Eighteen games were [)layed in all, resulting in sixteen victories, with over half of the eighteen games staged on foreign floors.

Men were rushing along the walks in the direction of the Gymnaisium. Freshmen were running and yelling bonfire at the top of their voices. The old college bell was ringing as only the Liberty Bell had rung, and it had cracked. In the midst of thi.s uproar, the scene on the Campus seemed a repetition of the moving of Bimam Wood — not tlie Bimam Wood of green branches, but of conlwood. Conlwood walked, cordwood trotted, cordwood loped — all moving to the heap that was growing before the Gymnasium. Magnolia, pine and cedar branches skipped upon the heap; and in every direction wood could be seen literally skimming over the ground making its way straight for the conflagration. Two Seniors strolled leisurely up the walk. Dignified, lordly, overbearing, gallant, knightly Seniors they were. Well, well, I thought we ' d beat tonight, remarked Webb to his companion. Ye«, we have a remarkable team this year. Truly we do have a most remarkable team this year, don ' t you think so? Certainly, the State Championship in basketball is ouis without doubt, was the reply that came in measiu-cd, sonorous tones. You know games generally bore me, but I wouldn ' t have minded seeing that one tonight, not because I care for the game, but it would have been interesting to watch those guys put away their hearse after having decorated it, retimied HarrLson as he was pushed to one side by Fatty Hawkins. Look here, you tub of fat, what do you mean pushing me off the walk? indignantly in- quired Harrison. Haven ' t got time to go around you, got to go to the celebration, was Fatty ' s curt reply as he shuffled on up the walk. Isn ' t he some tub of fat, as well as of cheek? t|vicrie l Webb as they watched Fatty shufHle, or rather, roll along. Yes, he ' s -some boob, the durne l fiM l pu. hed me off the walk and never even asked pardon. He looks like he would like to swallow himself in onler to get out of sight. was the reply. Watch him walk; he wobbles like a worn-out two-horse wagon, and happy? Why he ' s the happiest fool on the Campus, rcturne l the other. Listen to those Freshmen jeering him. Don ' t they take him for a good time, though? laughed Harrison. Xo sooner had Fatty reached the crowd of Xewish than ihcy began to guy him. Wher ' ve you starte l. Fatly? demanded the group. I don ' t know; guess! was the reply, and Fatty rolled on. Say, there ' s no use for you to go U]) to the bonfire, we don ' t want any l arbecue tonight. came another taunt. Xo, we ' re not looking for a feast, we ' re just celebrating our victorj- over Timothy Col- lege, was another word of consolation which greeted Fatty. He did not even notice these tuimts, he was accustomed to them, and just at present he was thinking of the great celebration that was in progress. He passetl .sevenil groups of fel- lows on the walk, and was :dways grceteil by some fun-making remark. He paid no attention to them, and rushed on to the bonfire. . call for more wooti w;is made, and the Freshmen immediately deputized Fatty to go to the basement of the Chemistry building for the wood. Fatty Hawkins scurried off in the direction of the Chemistry building, not knowing that the floor of the ba.sement was covered with mud and water about two feet deep. Several min- utes later he retume l with his arms full of wood, but he was covered with mud from head to foot. 195 Ilclli.. sulmuirine Fatty, voluiitecml one of the Newish as they watched liiiii licave the wuod un the tire. That ' s a fancy suit you g;  t on, oUl to]), I diiin ' t know you were a deep sea diver, was another casual remark. Don ' t let the suit worry you; I got tlie wood, diihi ' t I? retorted Fatty, as he turned his back to the fire to dry off a bit. Don ' t get too close, or you ' ll rou.st, Better niiud, Fatty, you ' ll melt. Look.s like the ' beef trust ' has had a drop, and 8ee the world ' s greatest wonder. were a few remarks made by his fellow-students, as he turned himself before the fire. As was the custom, it was the duty of the members of the Facidty who were present and the orators from tlie siudeni IhkIv id make |n■ ches suitable to the occasion. The crowd gath- ered between the bdiitir- ' .iini - ' )- ut ilic ( iynmasium and eagerly awaited the first speaker. Just when the flanir wi le u( ix ;i Imii ' liitiher than the Gymnasium, and the fire was hottest one of the professors who occupied the chaii ' of Latin in the college was borne on tlie slioiilders of the .students to the top step of the building. The boys took off their hats, but lie w.ilked up with his hat on; he then raised his hat and began: Gentlemen, I take off my hat to our Coach. This utterance was greeted with great applause, yells for the Coach were iie;inl, and then the crowd waited in breathless suspense for the rest of the speech. The victory tonight, continued the speaker, is due in a large measure to the faithful work of that one man. For years now he has been seen on the Campus, attending to his duties in a quiet, unassuming w ' ay, and — But here he w as interrupted again by ajipiause. the crowd wctiI wiM, and it was some min- utes before he could be heard again. But, as I said, he is responsible for this victory by training the team not to give up even if the odds were against them. It is this spirit that made the team come back in the last half of the game, when the score stood 10 to 9 in favor of Timothy, and win out by a Kcore of 28 to Again gn-Ml ajq-laUM ' was heard, willi ,.r -;,si(inai yells, ;,s ■■Hurrah l.ir iIk ' team. -Hah, Kah lor Coach, and What about tlio chanipionship ' . ' The Professor of Latin proceeded. He spoke of the hriliiani playing of the team, of its captain, of its successful Coach. He ended by saying: Gen tlemen, we have a team that can play basketball. Now il has demonsl rated its abil- ity to play both in a gymnasium and in a chicken coop. He left the steps, while the boys were cheering frantically: his alliisinn to ihi- iymiiasium of Timolliy as a chii-ken coop brought down the house. Nunifriius uihcr speeches were made by members of the Faciiliy. Tiicn orators from the slu(h ' nts were called upon. A big Newish, who was noted lor his forensic ability, was pl.aced on tlie steps. He delivered a speech in which lie lold of the Roman triumjilis, and liow the vanquished were dragged at the chariot wheels. Meilnnks. he continued. I see a modern triumph tonight with Timothy College being dragged a1 the wheels of the Lakewood College chariot. This sentence was greeted by much applause, with an occasional Hurrah fcr the Freshmen, and Go your route, Newish. Inspired by this, he conlmucd his speech and ended with an allusion to the Glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Home. George Morgan, Captain of the football team, was called uiKin. He was ctirricd up the steps and. when he had straightened his powerful physique, began: Fellows, I had a phone message from Timothy. Those eJTeniinate rascals had prepared a hearse, decorated with Lakewood colors, and were preparing to take a coffin, which was wrapi)ed in our colors, to the negro graveyard and bury it. They thought that they woidd beat us, and had prepared this cclcbnilioM before ilie oame had ended. Now what we want is some one to go over there in a car and do .sonu ' aiipinpnatc ileroral ing. We don ' t want ;i crowd, but would like to have on - fellow ul.r. is not afraid. We ' ll artan-e loi the car He came down amid much ajjplause. It was a great sclieine, but who wouhl undertake it? No one volunteered. The boys were ready to say yes, bui when .isked to go it was a dif- ferent thing. Morgan would have gone, of course, but he was .a Senior and his degree wiis at stake Of course the Faculty could find out the guilty man, and it would mean nothing less than expulsion. Considering these things, no one would offer to go. Harrison took his place at the top of the steps, and vociferated for about half an hour, arguing that the lower-classman who wouldn ' t go just didn ' t have any coUege spirit. He told of what a spectacular thmg it would be to have a Lakewood banner floating from the Timothy flag pole, and he showed how the one who did the deed would be looked on as a hero among the boys, but no one volunteered. The crowd finally decided to content itself with the celebration that had just been held, and dispersed. The fire had died down, and here and there a group would get together and sing a little before turning in. Harrison and Webb were going to then- rooms when Fatty brushed by them, hardly speaking. ' ■Why don ' t you go. Fatty? said Webb. You are just the fellow to do that job. Oh, I haven ' t time, returned Fatty. But you ought to do that much for your College, remarked HarrUon, and you know you are the only man in College that h;is the grit to do a thing like that. Yes, I got the grit, but I don ' t believe in anything like that, was Fatty ' s reply. He shuffled on down the walk, feeling that hLs Alma Maler was calling him to a deed of valor. He did not hear Harrison laugh after he passed, nor did he su.spect that what had been said was nothing more than chaffing. Should I do if? Fatty asked himself this question over and over. The picture of Mr. Hawkins, better known as Fatty, being made a hero by his fclhiw stu- dents, instead of being looked on as a practical joke, wius at least pleasing to him. . nd in case he should get suspende.1— but no, no one would ever know it. He had not committed himself before the lx ys, and he could keci it secret until the matter had been settled. With these thoughts disturbing his inactive brain, Fatty directed his steps towarils the Lakewtwd garage. Fifteen minutes later the village ilniggist, on his way home, .saw a car passing under the electric light, occupied by the chauffeur and one lone pa.ssenBer. The next morning all the pa|M-rs t.ild the tale of vandalism. Timothy College had been invaded by the enemy. The flag pole wore a Lakewood banner that flaunted about six feet long in the air. All of the pre. ' ' d brick buildings were adorned with slogans five feet tall, tell- ing the tale of defeat. The new rock wall around the campus was adorned with letters that he who runs may read. On the marble steps to all the buildings could be seen the slogan, L. C. 28; T. C. 26. No one knew who the guilty one was. How could it have been done when the night-watchman was on duty ' . ' and Will it ever come off? were questions that could be heard almost continually on the Timothy Campus. F.xpert painters and architects, along with the professors of Chemistrj- in the College, said that the paint could not be removed, and that the damage would extend into the thousimds of dollars. The Lake- wood students wore one huge smile, but inquired among themselves as to whom the great deed could be attributed to. One week later Fatty Hawkins walked into the Chapel between Harrison and Webb. As he passed some Freshmen on the steps they took off their hats to him. When he went to his seat, instead of having to occupy the lower end of the bench farthest from the stove, the Seniors as well as Newish moved ilown and gave him the most desirable seal just in front of the stove. The usual Chapel exerci.ses were finished and a general mass meeting was called. Instead of about half the students running out in order to get to dinner cju-ly, not a one left the hall. Con- trary to the general m r, silence prevailetl when the President of the Senior class took the chair. He rose and began: Ccntlemen, we have a matter of no little importance to consider this morning. I hope you will pay careful attention while Mr. Harrison states the object of the meeting. Fellows. began Harrison, you are all well acquainted with the fact that some painting W!US done at Timothy College last Tuesday night . This remark almost tcxik the top off the hou.se. You are right! Hurrah for Fatty Hawkins! and Down with Timothy! were remarks that echoe l through the hall. . nd you are also aware that some one must take punishment for the deed. We are glad that it was done, but at the ssime time we all admit that it was carried a little too far. You have no douht licanl that Hawkins (Hil the job, and .liil it well, an.l lie lias hci n siispcmlfd for it. Now it is not fair that he should bear the burden for all this. We all said ' anieu ' to the project, and it was at our suggestion that he went. I have a set of resolutions here that I would like to read for the approval of the student body. Read them! Read them! eame the reply from every part of the hall. Whereas, Hawkins has been su.spended for painting Timothy property, and whereas he was only the representative of the student body, it is not fair that he should bear all the penalty incurred by that act. In the second place, whereas, he has been suspended for the deed, we hereby recommend that the Faculty be petitioned to abolish inter-eoUegiate athletics for the remainder of the .Spring Term instead of having Fatty Hawkins leave school for thirty days. These resolutions were greeted with great enthusiasm. As much as the boys loved inter- collegiate athletics, they were willing to be deprived of them for the Spring Term, rather than have Fatty leave college for the deed. The Chief Rooter got up and made a motion that the resolutions be accepted. Then ahnost a dozen fellows jumped to their feet to second the mo- tion. Fatty was listening; he wa.s thinking, and now he was walking down the aisle. He mounted the platform and began speaking, amid much applause, Boys, I appreciate what you are offering to do for me, but I don ' t think that is the thing to do. I did the job, and I am wilUng to take the consequences. Not only that, I wouldn ' t feel right to be walking around this Campus, and every one pointing at me and .saying: He ' s the cause of no baseball this spring. ' And if athletics are abolished now, the Trustees of the College will abolish them forever. I won ' t lose much by staying out of school for thirty days, and I can come back and get off my year ' s work all right. In the name of Goodness and for the love of Lakewood College, I ask that you let these resolutions drop. When he took his seat the student body was divided in its opinion of what should be done. They hated to .see Fatty suffer alone, and they equally hated to .see athletics abolished. Speeches were made on both sides, and for a while it looked as if the resolutions would be passed. The question was debated pro and con, enthusiasm was running high. Webb rose to his feet. The boys gave audience. He told them that Fatty would be mis- erable all spring if he remained on the hiU, and they had heard him say so. The wise thing to do, said Webb, is to defray the expenses incurred by this term of suspension, and in this way show him that we are behind him. This will be much more satis- factory to all concerned. We will decorate an automoliile ami let him leavi ' in an honorable maimer. This app.alcd to the students. They reahzed that it was ll idy plausible thing to do. The former resolutions were put aside, and Webb ' s motion passed without the least opposition. Fatty Hawkins was to leave that afternoon, .so, accordingly at 5 o ' clock the students gathered around the decorated automobile which stood in front of the College . rch. The car was the same one that had carried Fatty over to Timothy on that fatal night. The college colors were draped about the car, and the back seat was profusely tlecorated. All of the students wore crape on theii ' arms, and promptly at 5:15 the College bell began to toll, according to the in- structions of Harrison. A few minutes later Fatty was seen coming down the walk. Two Freshmen were scrapping over who should carry his grip, while another was enjoying the su- preme pleasure of carrying Fatty ' s coat unmolested. As soon as he reached the arch he was bodily hoisted over the heads of the crowd into the car. He was then called upon for a speech. Boys, began Fatty as he raised himself in the car, I thank you one and all for the way you are standing behind me. Now I want to ask that you do nothing that would bring the Lakewood colors from the high place they now occupy in the esteem of the citizens of the State. The crowd cheered wildly as the car moved off. They stood there and watched until Fatty had disappeared in the distance, and then turned back to the walls of old Lakewood College. The Campus was not as jolly during the thirty days that followed that scene, for it had lost one of its most jovial characters. One monlli later a fellow dro|ipcd oil ' the south-bound train in Lakewood. There was something about him that looked famihar, yet no one recognized him. Who is that chunky feUow there with the rather lank face? inquired some of the boys. I don ' t know, was Harrison ' s reply. Looking at him from the back he resembles Fatty Hawkins, but he is a little too thin for Fatty. W-e-1-1, I ' U be doggone if that ' s not Fattyl ejaculated Webb as he rushed up to shake his hand. , . , The boys crowded around welcoming him back. Some one yeUed, WTiat ve done with your fat, Fatty? ' Haven ' t you had enough to eat. Fatty? came another question, and What ' re you doin ' with that wTinkle in your forehead? Just then some Freshmen came up. pulling a bugg -. Fatty was Ufted m it and wheeled away to the Chapel, foUowed bv the boys. Again he walked down the aLsle with Harrison and Webb, but this time he was as a man among men. He ascended the platform. His face no more looked like a baked apple, and the hair on his head did not resemble the cover of a biUiard ball partly torn off. The Freshmen sat with mouth agaiK-, and the upper-classmen regarded him as one of the greatest amongst them. ' ■You don ' t know how gliid I am to be back with you. I appreciate the way you have treated and are treating me, and I shall strive to be worthy of aU you have done. Havmg spoken thus, he came down. Webb arose and took his place on the platform. ' ■Gentlemen, inasmuch as we have Mr. Hawkins back with us, it is only fittmg and proper that we change his name. Xow considering the ser -ice he has rendered the student body, and the way he has borne it all, I think that he should be officially named Hero msteati of Fatty. I make this a motion. u i ■ The motion was passed enthusiastically and unanimously, and from that day Hawkins has occupied a high place in the esteem of the students, and has been caUed -Hero instead of Fattv.

Ares: Great Zens and gods, give ear, for I shall speak, And humbly now unfold the wisest scheme Whereby we can avenge this sacrilege. Apollo {aside): He lies in saying inimhhj.

Ares {wiihoid noticing Argus): Wince all these tilings are so, I do propose: First, that the acts are sacrilege, and are Atoned alone in banishment from out Forestia fair, to infernal hades ; And secondly, that Argus hath been found Of duty negligent, and therefore he Should be bereft the use of all his eyes, — Wliicli is, that he should be struck blind.

Zeus arises and speaks philosophically.) Zecs: Ares, meseems there be a faulty crack In your fine argument. If we do kill All these Forestian mortals for their crime. Then wherein shall we have our regal power. Not having subjects to it? For without Some subjects there can be no power. Who then would worship us? Who sacrifice To us? Who sin, that we might punish them? Other Gods (applaudingly): () mighty ihunderer, well hast thou spoke! Ares (abashed somewhat): I had not thereon thought. True, we must keep The mortals, for to keep our regal power. AroLLO (aside): He argues as a simpleton.

Ares: Since that aforesaid is not the best scheme For puniiihing our subjects ' sacrilege, I now shall offer that which is the best. (The gods make mirth at this.) This penalty is best, O Zeus, since that : First, amply doth it compensate the crime; Next, greatly doth it show our dominion; Last, it shall not quite kill the mortal men. Apollo (uvarily): O name it, Ares, and be quick about it ! Other Gods: Aye, aye! Thou art too lengthy in the wind. Ares: Give good attention, now, for I am speaking. Briefly, the scheme is this: That we deprive These wiclced mortals of the use and right Employment of their limbs; and thus subdue tlicm. Apollo (fiercely); Never!
