Davie and Willie Jones represent the Revolu- tionary period, Nathaniel Macon the Constructive period that followed, Zebulon Baird Vance the Civil War period, and F. M. Simmons the Con- structive [)eriod from Vance to the present hour; and the star of Simmons is yet in the ascendant. Farmer, lawyer, member of the National House of Representatives, Collector of Internal Revenue, United States Senator, chief- tain of the dominant political party in North Carolina, faithful in all and ecpial to everv occasion, for thirty-one years his career has marked the course and determined the character of this Commonwealth. A wise, candid, fighting politician, to begin with, he has, in the United States Senate, wherein men are measured by the standards of a most exacting perspective, become the mainstay of his party and the trusted spokesman, adviser and friend of the President in the hour of our country ' s and the world ' s supreme crisis, and enrolled his name in the list of American statesmen. _ tS).C.

Senior Class Poem Oh, call him not patriot alone W ho fights through the murderous days; For the cycles of change have shown The patriot of quiet ways — The patriot of factory and farm Who dares not the cannon s ire. Yet whose heart within him is warm To battle for his own hearth-fire. So the silent battle is fought On the fields of tillage and trade. That the labor of justice be wrought. That the stones of freedom be laid: That the truth pass not from the earth. And the slow, massive wheel of doom Crush not the dwellers of earth In the glory of flower and bloom. So call him not patriot alone Who fights through the murderous days; For the cycles of change have shown The patriot of quiet ways. Poet. A Short History of the Senior Class PREFACE npillS .-lioii jketrh of llie Senior Class, undeiiakeii by llie author only on my earnest -■- solicitation and my promise to write a preface for the work and to pay to the writer the sum of five dollars as the customary reward for such services, has two spe- cific aims. The first is to relieve myself of any further obligations in the realm of History, and the second is to record in a brief but comprehensive manner the deeds of the Senior Class. To achieve these aims. I have insisted that the author introduce the following features: 1. Truth; for no history is worthy of the name unle.-s the statements that it contains be based on actual facts. 2. Brevity. No more remarkable e am])le of the fact that there is nothing in a name has ever been given than the History text-book used by some members of this class (luring the past session. Purporting to be a Short History of the United States, it yet embraced within its covers no less than 923 pages of unusually compact matter. And it was while staggering under the weight of that volume that I firmly resolved that any history for which I might stand sponsor should at least possess the feature of brevity. 3. An adequate study and analysis of the years 191 1-1918, with particular refer- ence to the achievements of the Senior Class. It may be well to state that the author was limited to original sources in the preparation of his manuscript. I. A style at once readable and attractive. How well the author, to whom alone my thanks are due. has succeeded in embody- ing these requirements the reader may see by a reference to the work itself. The real merits and defects of a history can be adequately recognized only in the actual test to which the reading public puts it: and the author will be particularly grateful for any criticisms from those who would have this history of the Senior Class complete and free from errors. Hl.STOKlAN, Wake; FouiiST, North Caroijna. May 1, 1918. A SHORT HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS Chapters I-IV (191 1-191!! i The history of the Senior Class is vet to be made. Senior Class Prophecy IN my old age I became a wanderer. My church, which I had served for half a century, retired me for life. Take a trip. the deacon said. It will brace you up and make you young agam. Accordingly, I decided to use the only Ford car in existence for a trip around the world. All my old classmates of 1918 were using airplanes or wireless flying machines, except our old friend. J. A. McKaughan. Such means of travel, said he. are vulgar. On the morning of June 1. 1967. with George S. Quillin as companion, I began mv memorable journe . At the office of the Everlasting Life Insurance Company, of which R. V . V arren was agent, we took out accident policies. Mr. Warren was at the time verv feeble, having just recovered from an attempt at suicide, in the hope of obtaining the principal of his own insurance policy. We crossed the Atlantic Ocean on the new concrete from New York to London — the worlds greatest engineering feat, designed and executed by the restless genius of Sunday School Meek. For two days we hurrietl along, listening to the music of the splashing waves and the hum of our Ford. M the mid-ocean wireless station an old man halted us with storm warnings. I recognized at once our old classmate. Hubert Hester, who. since his heart was crushed by a Meredith girl, has been afflicted with locomotor-ataxia and rheumatism in his arms. Drive on! he said, wearily; Drive on! We saw marvelous sights. An aeroplane flying above us tlropped pamphleU which read, Last edition of Shannons Self-knowledge Books. Milton Gladney. Book Brokers, Limited, London. Immediately to our left a giant submarine came to the surface, and I made out her name. The Shanks 21. Then 1 remembered that years ago Henry Shanks had won fame in the Navy. London was lurid with electric signs. The Kitchener Building reached toward heaven like an endless stream of stars. We stoppe l. amazed, counting the tloors of that matchless structure. High up on the 174th floor in bold letters we read the sign. Lzzle i Blalock. Feather-edge Barbers. We drove over to Oxford I niversity for a day. The golf links lay between us and the university grounds. We were about to enter the driveway through the golf field when Bill Dickson halte l us abruptly. Stop! Danger! he cried. Dr. C. C. Pear- son, Professor Emeritus of History, is about to make a drive. Safetv first! said Quillin, and we left that perilous locality as fast as John Henry Ford could carry us. Many days we spent on the battle-fields of France. High up on a ridge in No Man ' s Land we sat down to rest at the foot of a monument erected by the Class of 1918 to do honor to the sons of Wake Forest who had distinguished themselves in the struggle to make the world safe for democracy. In raised letters: Hubert E. Olive, Andrew H. Casey. W. H. Paschal. J. L. Willis. R. L. Litchfield. Vann Savage. Dr. L. P. Martin, H. ' . Burden, Dr. F. D. Garcia, Rev. R. F. Hall, and many others whose glory will never be dimme l by the flight of time. Though still living, the monument 57 had been erected to their memory, as the Class of 1909 erected the arch at the entrance of old Wake Forest Campus. The Emperor William of Germany on his death-bed on the Island of St. Helena had requested that his dust might rest with that of his fallen bond-servants in Germany. At the tomb of the Emperor an old man crouched, beating his breast and calling on heaven to curse the very dust of the Kaiser. It was Louie V. Coggins. Then I remem- bered that the Kaiser began in 1914 a world war which in 1918 prevented the marriage of Mr. Coggins to one of Chatham County ' s fairest maidens. From that scene of blasted hopes we turned our way toward Italy. In Rome we wandered about the columns and pillars of the Forum. It was there we found Sam Thompson and R. W. James searching among the ruins, if perchance they might find the memories of Romulus and Remus. We learned through the American consul at Rome, A. D. Pace, that Mr. Sugar Owen, with the assistance of seventeen native Africans, was preparing to irrigate the Sahara Desert. Two weeks more found us in Constantinople. On a cool afternoon we met on a street, near the Sultan Palace, Hon. R. L. Humber, American Ambassador to fallen Turkey, leading a. shepherd dog and smoking an American-made cigar. With free flowing hospitality he welcomed us into his home, the old Sultan Palace. But we saw no veiled faces of women in the halls; the harem was turned into a library. Mr. Hum- ber taught International law in the World University. But all things must end — even the lazy pleasant days in Constantinople. And all journeys must end — even a journey around the world. Business called us home. We sold our Ford to the Turkish Museum and turned our faces toward the West. Our passage home was quiet and serene. The storms had ceased. The ocean raged no more. Tom Gillespie had constructed concrete wind shields in all the tropical belts of high atmospheric pressure. The trade winds blew no more. Even more than this had been accomplished : enough heat had been enclosed in the torrid zone to last the world ten thousand winters. At sea we passed a great ship lying at anchor with steel cables hanging over her sides. Men in diving suits lounged on her deck. Our captain. Ladd Hamrick, informed us that the ship was owned by Fat Hamrick and was engaged in recovering lost cargoes of treasures from the submarine attacks of the World War. At New York we were met by Dr. C. T. Johnson, who presented us with a tube of his new serum for the prevention of old age. Under the influence of Dr. Johnson ' s serum we resolved to enter Wake Forest for four more years with our Alma Mater. And when the Shoo-Fly whistled on the afternoon of September 2, 1968, Quillin wondered if any of the Wake Forest fair sex would welcome us at the train. Prophet. Last Will and Testament THE SENIORS- TWENTY-THIRD WILL State of North Carolina 1 CocNTY OF Wake j ' We, the Class of 1918, of Wake Forest College, Wake County, State of North Carolina, exhausted by four years of hard study, fallen into the Slough of Despond because of the sudden realization that we know nothing; completely robbed of our filthy lucre by the College Bruiser, and feeling in our penniless discontent that we are about to pass into that great outer world where college exams, are no more, do declare this our latest will and testament: First. We offer ourselves for the service of our country whenever it mav draft us, promising to do our best if by doing so we may get our names in the newspaper head- lines. Having run the seventy-year dash down the track of eternity in sixty-five years flat, we hope that our tired bodies will be wrapped in the mantle of Fame and placed in some secluded spot where we — at least the lawyers of our number — may LIE STILL. .■ 11 of our assets, rights and privileges which we have acquired by the intrigue of college politics, through the benevolence of our parents and guardians, by the aid of fortune or his sister. Miss Fortune, or through other agencies too numerous to men- tion, we do dispose of, in the following ways, to wit: Imprimis. To our parents and guardians who have made college woes possible for us, we do acknowledge receipt of many checks, promising to draw upon them in the future if occasion demands, in the hope that we may bring them great pleasure, since it is better to give than to receive. Item. To the Faculty we hand down the duty of maintaining the Committee of Public Safety, which, because of its efficient work in the past, deserves to live to a decrepit senility. The Faculty should not forget to let the students have plenty of hot water — as cold as they like it — and to have the Seaboard Air Line amend its bulletins as follows: Train No. 12. Due 12:-1-.S p. m. Expected 1:W; will arrive 2:40. Drug stores should never be allowed to open on Sunday, and social diversion never be given to the puritanical Wake Forest students. Item. To all the under classmen we will the College traditions, with the hope that they will change them as they transmit them from mouth to ear — even as we have done — so that the said traditions will not be in danger of being recognized twenty years from now. Item. Because of our great love and admiration for the Junior Class, we will to it all of our college honors, which are so much to be desired in the eyes of Juniors and so little appreciated once thev are obtained by the Seniors. Item. To the Sophomores we transmit the dreaded blacking-pot, with the request that they keep it as well hidden from the Senate Committee as it has always been. Item. To the Freshmen we give nothing, since they think already thev know and have all. They should remember that the night hides a multitude of sins. Item. To the College we will all of our pecuniary possessions, which, according to our last inventory, amount to .$313.13 in liabilities. Lastly, we do hereby appoint and anoint the Right Honorable Gordon Bowers, LL.B., as the sole executor of this will, feeling sure that the WILL will never be executed. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1918, the testators, have to this, our twenty- third will, printed perhaps on one and perhaps on two sheets of common paper, sub- scribed our names and forgot to affix our seal, this the twenty-fourth day of May, Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, hereby revoking all our stand- ing bills and wills by us carelessly made, wheresoever and whensoever thev may have been made. Signed, but unsealed, the day and year aforesaid, in the State and county aforesaid, and declared by the said testators to be their latest will, in the presence of the witnesses hereunto attesting, who were absent at the making and signing of this will, but who were kind enough to let us use their names, and in the presence of the testator and in the presence of one another. Class of 1918. [Seal Omitted] (The truth is, we have no seal) Author. Gordon Bowers and Robert L. Humber, Jr. Senior o .e WITH the candidates full of cigars and promises, the Senior Class proceeded to elect the men who were to do the last honors for a noble class. The meeting was held near the Dean ' s office, so that the many members could find the place without any difficulty. The Pre-ident, after explaining the purposes of the meeting, and giving the mem- bers time to compare the ' ' smokes ' of the various candidates, opened nominations for the most popular man. It was agreed that to hold the office of ice President was the criterion of a man ' s popularity. This being the case. Jack Joyner mowed down all opposition. In fact, no one dared to compare records, since Jack is second in everything except the minis- terial class. Next, McKaughan came forth from the smoke of campaign cigars and carried away first honors as ladies ' man. Mid great applause Vann Savage was chosen as the beit athlete of the class, although Coach oodard of the volley-ball team was there. Coach ' s defeat being due verv likely to the fact that he is considered a professional, and therefore not eligible. Some one mentioned dignity, and before Shorty Bowers could reprimand the fellow for his boisterous conduct, he (Shorty I himself was declared to be the most dignified. L. W. Hamrick ' s activities were examined, and immediately he was voted the Hottest Sport. The President looked over the company and called for the Biggest Bull Shooter. Thereupon the newly elected Vice President. Mr. Jack Franklin, was dragged from his easy chair to guide the cla.ss temporarily, while that august body conferred honor where honor was due. and unanimously selected the President. R. L. Humber. for this place. W hen E. A. Hamrick arose and nominated H. 1. Hester for the Biggest Rough- neck the class was so struck with his i Hamrick ' s i beautiful features that Ikey Hester was declared the Roughneck of the class and Fat Hamrick was voted to be the Cleopatrian ideal of Handsomeness. But Ellis was not to be ignored, and he was dubbed the Best Dresser, while Crab Moore took the place of Woman Hater. George Collins reachetl over to borrow a match and some tobacco from Casey Jones during the campaigning, and Sunday School Meek came near entering a violent protest, because it was too much for Casey to supply the tobacco for all. and Casey complained not at all. When the matter was thoroughly investigated — even before Sundav School said a word — he w as declared to be the biggest Tightwad. Casev the most Optimistic. and George Collins the biggest Parasite. ' Sam Thompson was easily the Best Dancer of the Class, while Manager Bill espoused the cause of the Fair Ones, therebv being elected leader of the Suffragette forces. Of course, Doc Martin was the most Ladylike of the class, even though Lou Sowers is the Most Reserved and Modest member of the class. The Class of ' 18 is noted for its orators, yet none are so inspired with speeches as is Dick Pace, since during his four years in college he has saved all of his speeches while the others have distributed them to the four corners of the earth, either Skying or Campaigning. L. H. Hobgood took time enough away from his work to be elected Hardest Worker, while John Pace left off the study of Psychology to attend the meeting and was elected the Best Student. However, R. W. Warren was not to be left out of the political forces, even though Crab Moore did beat him out for Woman Hater, and he was rewarded with the office of Best Politician. Lest we forget that Muse is the Giant of the Class and Blalock is the Best Writer, the Class elected, or rather appointed, Litchfield as the Debater of the Class to champion their cause in case of any dispute. Keller is the Greatest Campus Walker of the Class by far. while Willis is the honorary member of the Class to succeed Nogum Trogum Lassiter, who held that position last year; but it is to be doubted if Robert can soothe the tired spirits of the Class of ' 18 with the same degree of skill as did his predecessor; yet the sound of Robert ' s sweet tenor voice will do much to help the weary Seniors endure the hardships of life. Having smoked all the cigars available, having satisfied the hunger of the most politically inclined, and having elected every one but the Ugliest. the Class of ' 18 went its way rejoicing. r 5 lu — X I ■j 2 X o 2 i: . 1 ol V 1- f Lu Ui U Miss BLA CHE BiiiKL Sponsor JL ' .MOR CLASS ' X Junior Class Officers J.

Jackson Historian Junior Class History IT IS customary to write history long after its makers have returned unto dust, after their deeds have grown venerable by the passing of many years. et precedent renders it necessary to write a brief record of our class. As we approach the end of Junior year we ha e just cause to look back with pride upon the record of our achieve- ments during our three vears of college life. In many respects our class has been more successful than might ordinarily have been expected. In our class are men who take an active part in every phase of college life. However, our deeds speak for themselves. The history of our class begins in September, 1915, when, as Newish one hundred and seventy-five strong, we first set our feet on Wake Forest soil. The remembrance of this time will never be erased from our minds. At first we were very dignified, but under the careful training of the Sophomores we soon became very meek and lowly. The success of our first year was due in large measure to the ability of our leader and President, H. P. Smith. In September, 1916, we assumed the duties and responsibilities of Sophomores. We at once entered upon the work of assisting the Student Senate in caring for the first-year gentlemen. We used kindness rather than force in dealing with them. In justice to ourselves, we must state that we kept them in their rooms after dark and allowed them to act only as Newish should act; but we were able to do this without the aid of the blacking-pot and scissors. Our President for that year was R. W. Warren. WTien in September. I ' ll 7. we relurnetl to college as Juniors, we again found that our cla.ss had greatlv dcrrcased in numbers. We have scarcely half as many members as we had last vear. This decrease in numbers is due, in large measure, to war condi- tions. Manv of our members have joined the army, or are serving our .Nation in some other wav. While we miss them and mourn their loss, yet we rejoice that the members of our class have been so loyal and patriotic. Under the efficient leadership of J. I. Allen, Jr., we are having a very successful year. We have not accomplished as much in interclass athletics as some of the previous classes. In basket-ball, football, and baseball we have not won a game. However, this does not reflect upon the strength of our team, for we have always lost by a very small margin. In the interclass track meet last year we won a decisive victory over all the other classes. Our class won 18 points out of UK), thereby leaving only 52 points for the other three classes. We have contributed very valuable men to all the varsity teams. In football we have been represented bv Crooni. Bowers, and Blanchard. To basket-ball, baseball, and to track we have also contributed valuable men. We are also well represented in the literarv world. The names of Allen, Croom, Liles, Smith. Lovelace, and Britt are frei|ueiitlv heard in the society halls. Some of the best students in college are to be found in our class. All in all, we have had a very successful career thus far in our college course. We hope that this success may continue. „ Junior Class Prophecy TN trying to write the prophecy for the Junior Class I have pondered over many ancient volumes of prophecy, both at home and abroad, but could find nothing, nor could I go into a swoon. While sitting in my room all alone I happened to think of an old Indian, a prophet of his tribe. I finally decided to take my troubles to him and see if he could tell me anything of the future of my classmates. Upon arriving at his palace, I found him seated on his papier-mache throne with gilded elephants for support, and holding in his hand a crystal globe. His head was all but hidden in a silken turban, from which hung a single pearl. I told him my troubles, and after going through with his magical ceremony he asked me who I wanted to see first. I told him. and after giving a few weird movements over the magic globe with his hands I beheld our beloved President. Joel I. Allen. Joel is now instructor of a class of Chinese girls. Shorty Ridge, after finishing college, settled down in Jamestown. Shorty has been wonderfully successful, but has never recovered from the cold which he con- tracted late one evening at Holding ' s Pond by getting his feet wet. Ennis Bryan and Sky Eagle are still trying to work out a chemical process to abstract the lime salts from the bones which the Newish pull. Big Boy Blanchard had not been awake long enough to have anything recorded against him except the long list of Chapel absences which he received at W. F. C. Next I saw Brilt chewing the weed and shooting his spiel without a fear as he was amputating the toe of an old rooster. Next I saw Teague and Snow as chief surgeons in a big hospital. They were amputating an old man ' s wooden leg while Fleetwood was giving an anesthetic, and Phil Neal, who studied med. after taking his B.A. degree, was injecting a saline solu- tion for fear that the patient would lose too much blood. In 1929 Croom introduced a bill in the Legislature prohibiting any one from sell- ing steers over twenty years of age to any of the clubs at Wake Forest College. On account of this he caused his good friend Jackson, who believes in extracting the most out of everything, to get into trouble. But Judge Spurling granted leniency in the case. At this point I only got a glance at the Social Bud Bobbie Burns, the Arc Light Jack Bryan, and the Sporting Star A. Nolan. As the old Indian ' s hand is trembling from holding the Magic Globe so long, I can just barely make out to see General Jimmy Lake leading the second bSttle of Fayetteville Street. Hold the globe just a little longer, old man! Here is omething that interests me, but is not surprising. There is Pittman; he has wrilten a book entitled Leave Off Legging Professors. He has had it published and is living on the proceeds. Prophet. SOPHOMORE CLASS ,T - zH - Pu. ' Sopl lomor M. Y. Keith . . A. W. Beachboard J. D. ROBBINS W. H. Woody P. Y. Jackson W. E. Gresham F. J.

Sophomore Class History THE history of the illustrious Sophomore Class began in September, 1916, when, as Newish one hundred and forty strong, we first set our feet on Wake Forest soil. We were as green, fresh, and wise as any of our predecessors. Long will that time stand out in our minds, adorned with many golden reminiscences — that day of all days when we passed for the first time under Pro Humanitate ' and turned our ambitious feet upon the Campus Boulevards of Knowledge, towards the far distant citadel of Wisdom. At first we were very dignified and important, but we were soon informed by the wise Sophomores that we did not own the place. Consequently, we stayed in our holes, as meek and lowly Newish should, and studied, keeping eyes and ears open and mouths shut. Thus we spent our Newish year. Three short months b rought us into our noble heritage, and with a wild yell we struck the campus. 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 have not oppressed them, as we remember the former days when we received kindness and mercy from upper classmen. How- ever, we have tried to instruct them in the ways of wisdom, and we hope that we have taught them to act decently on the campus. As Sophomores, we have accomplished very much in interclass athletics, just as we did the first year. The first year we defeated our Masters in football and basket- ball, which caused ihem to get straight in behind us and keep us off the campus and away from public places after 7:30. The varsity teams also were greatly strengthened by the addition of several members of our class last year. This year we were the victors in interclass athletics, winning in both football and basket-ball. The varsity teams are greatly strengthened this year, as well as last, by the addition of several good players from our class. Our achievements are not limited to the field of athletics, for we have been well represented in the literary and forensic activitie3 of the College. Several of our members are regular contributors to the various publications of the College. In the Society Day debate both Sophomores delivered excellent speeches, reflecting credit upon themselves and upon the class. Several times this year the members of the student bodv have been called upon to make contributions for various purposes. Last year this class pledged its part for the new Royster Athletic Field. This year the Sophomores gave their proportional part of the S6()0 which v as raised for Liberty Loan Bonds, and also their part of the Y. M. C. A. war fund. The Sophomore Class, as has been proved, can be depended upon lo do its proportionate part in every phase of college life. Our class has lost and is still losing some good men, who are called upon to come to the aid of their country. These men have responded readily, and others are only waiting until their time comes. So be it. We are gla l that we were Freshmen, and gladder that we arc Sopho- mores. We believe that we have contributeil our part towards making I ' JlT-li! the best year of Wake Foresl. and whatever we have loiilribulcd ue have done it freely and willingly. Histokun. Sophomore Class Prophecy Now it happened that as we sojourned nigh unto the wilderness of Wake the spirit of prophecy descended upon us; and though we lamented sore against the might wherewith he seized upon us, we had no choice but to behold all those things which are, and which were, and which were to be; and to declare with a loud voice those things which we beheld. And lo! there were shown unto us mighty signs and wonders, and divers strange things. And the mystery of the nature and the existence of those things which are of the earth, and of the sky, and of the sea, was laid bare. I saw these things, and they were not. But the grandeur thereof made me to marvel: their secret declared I not unto men. But the most wonderful by far of those mysteries which I beheld was this: There was at that time in the wilderness of Wake a great and mighty class, the greatest which since the beginning of history had come unio thai place. And upon the insignia of that class stood the immber ' 20. Seen from above, they were like unto a race of giants, for their heads were swollen prodigiously. .And behold! they were each of them accustomed to riotous living, and to snoring by night. But when the lime of an examination drew nigh there was no pleasure in them. They expended the electricity until midnight, so diligentlv did they cram; and faced the onleal of rapid-fire ques- tions bravelv: and did flunk dismally. But as their final year drew near, and they thought of what might lie beyond a college, they studied, and learned. This was very wonderful. (Jther wonders there were. For from lime immemorial it has been the custom of the Sophomores to decorate the campus with a singular ornament: Newish, various and sundry, after a riotous night, were wont to appear with close-shaven poll and with darksome and somber countenance; whereof their eyes glared like points of fire as they thirsted for revenge. But the valorous Class of ' 20 sought not to bedeck their younger brethren so that a call meeting of the Freshman Class could not be distin- guished from a colored camp meeting. Whereupon a welcome and grateful peace ensued, and there was neither weeping, nor wailing, nor gnashing of teeth. This was the second wonder. And I beheld the members of the Class of 2U each upon his career toward great- ness; ruling the nations of the earth and inscribing their names upon the tablets of fame, so that thev will be remembered. These things I beheld, and have written. But those things which are to follow will be declared unto you by another prophet, the latchet of whose shoes I am unworthy to loose. Prophet.

Freshman Class History ON September 4. 1917, many men came to Wake Forest to have tlieir first experi- ence of college life. Freshmen they were, and Freshmen they looked. A stranger could have picked them out as they stepped off the train. The Freshman unknowinglv brought off the train a traveling bag in one hand and a box of nervous- ness in the other. On the way to the clubs, the talk of the upper classmen was so wonderful that the holds on the boxes were relaxed. The stranger would have a diffi- cult task to pick them now. The scared look has disappeared from their faces and they are now taking active pari in college work. ' The Freshmen have an organization. Their class was organized September 21st, by the President of the Senate Committee. They have a president, a secretary, a treasurer, and a sponsor. The sponsor electetl was Miss Mil.lrcd W atkins of Vi inston- Salem. The class has made a good record in athletics. Many of the class have won places on the varsitv football team, and one a place on the All-Slate team. The class feels proud of this— and why shouldn ' t they? Even the Sophomores recognize these good (lualities. The first rest day was Society Day. October 2 Jth. This day was the first one the Freshmen were given the opportunity to be with the Fair Sex. The next holiday was Thanksgiving, November 29th. The day was one of rain, but not one of dis- comfort. The patter of the rain on the roof was a lullaby for a second sleep, and the only thing that could coax one from Slumberland were visions of turkey and goose for dinner. Christmas holidays began December 20th. The Freshmen went to their homes with manv tales of woe. and manv of happy experiences. The holidays passed, and the New Year found the men back in Wake Forest. This time it was with pleasure that thev came, and not with fear. And lluis endctb the first chapter. As for the next, who can say? Historian. PHOMOr E PRESIDENT TYI.lX- j )io-fy Jb. Miss Bessie I.ee Nicholson TEACHERS CLASS 0 ' A;jL rhuuL Teachers ' Class Officers L. W. Hamrick President J.

Teachers ' Class Prophecy IN the early Spring I went to the seashore for a few days recreation. I drifted away from the crowd, walking down the shore until I found a secluded spot. My thoughts soon turned to my college days. I began to think what would become of the Teachers ' Class of ' 18 — how they would carry out the instructions of the Education Professor: about standard conditions, standard attainments, and various other things very essential for those who intend to make teaching their profession. To my surprise, I soon found that I was not alone, as I had hoped, for 1 heard a faint voice saying: I know what it is that thou art thinking of. I began to examine my surroundings more closely. I discovered a beautiful pink-lined shell, out of which stepped the loveliest creature I had ever seen. The Fairy which stood before me began to wave her wand as she said to me: If into the future you would see. Take one sip from this shell of the sea. And you shall have a glimpse of the tilings that are to be. But first this promise I must have from thee. That as only in a dream wilt thou speak of me. I iminedialelv complied with her request. Upon doing .■so, I fell back in a pro- found sleep. There appeared before me a revolving glass. The first thing to greet my vision was the smiling countenance of my old class- mate, L. L. Johnson, who had devoted his entire time to the ministry of the Gospel. He said that he had just seen Mr. L. V. Coggins, who was instructor of Greek in Chowan College. The vision changed to that of a crowded city. I looked up, and saw the sign, L. W. HAMRICK, BROKER. Just at that moment my old friends R. V. Moss and W. B. Gladney came by. I learned that Gladney was Professor of English in Columbia University and that Moss was instructor in Psychology in the same institution. In the next vision I saw J. C. Pace and S. S. Meek making a political campaign for George S. Quillin. who was running for Governor of Florida. 1 was somewhat sur- prised at this, until I learned that A. D. Pace was to be Attorney-General. I was not permitted to linger longer, as the mirror was revolving. I had to take a hasty glance to see Joseph Page, Principal of Raleigh High School. Then came C. S. Owen and R. W. James, who had become missionaries in China. In the next scene I saw C. Y. Milton, who had learned that the eyes of love were blind, and was living happily with his wife and children in Greensboro. He was instructor in French in the Stale Normal College. In the next scene I saw Messrs. R. L. Litchfield ami G. D. Heafner, who were teach- ing in the High School at Edenton. As the glass turned I saw the old campus of Wake Forest College, and J. M. Hern- don, who, on account of his love for the College, had returned and was leaching in the Math. Department. I awoke from the trance, disappointed at not seeing my own future. 1 called to the Fairy. She answered, as she stepped into her pinktippeil shell and was carried out lo ea on the bosom of a receding wave: Tt is not best for thee to know thine own fiiluie.

So, fellow-students and classmates, should your heroic deeds and wonderful achievements be not recorded here, remember that they are graven on the memory of man. and that this is more conspicuous than having them set down on paper or parchment. During the first few weeks of college the Law Class was called to order by some unknown attorney-to-be, who, however, must have by some means attained the Power of Attorney. Vie think, without such legal power he would have hesitated to inter- rupt such a body of legal minds. However, in the course of human events the meeting was called to order and, strange to say, there was no wire-pulling or politicking in its election, as usually is in elections. One E. A. Hamrick. better known as Fat, was chosen our President, It is he who is to attempt to lead us through the many trials. Fat has shown wonderful generalship. The Law Class roll is unusually small this year on account of so great a number answering the call of the Stars and Stripes, and since Equity regards that as done which ought to be done. they, like all lawyers, will do their duty wherever stationed. In memorv of those who liave left us to join a luncheon party whose objective point is Berlin, kindly let us turn our thoughts in dedication. We have left among us the true spirit of a true class. We have contributed our share to the group of gridiron warriors, such as Gay, Croom, and others, and when the other athletic seasons open we will also make our contribution. We also have a num- ber of legal heads that take their daily exercise playing Cow-Pasture Pool. And. strange to say, we have only one or two who are taking the Drug Store course; how- ever, some are good movie attendants: but lawyers need a change of scenery. Our class is doing good work in the .Moot Court, with Professor Timberlake. judge presiding, and Professor White, associate justice. Every one seems to take a special interest in the meetings, and we are very grateful to our judges and to Dr. Gulley, The efforts of the gentlemen have been untiring. The Law Class has achieved wonderful success in the study of its many legal courses, and especially in the subject of marshaling, exoneration, contribution, lap- page, rule against perpetuities, and last, but by no means least, that all-important sub- ject, The rule in Shelley ' s ( ase. The historian will have to drop his pen and lake a birdVeye view of all t he cases involving the practical points of law since the recording of Stone vs. Durham, and join his fellow classmates in making rather than in writing class history.

Medical Class History YE MLSE, come forth from your mysterious hiding place and champion the cause of truth. An unworthy pupil today endeayors to chronicle the actions of a class of whom it is inadyisahle to tell the truth, and it is dangerous to try. Four years ago we inflicted IX ake Forest with ourseKes. The yells of the Sophs turned to wails of terror. The societies took one look at us and unanimously yoted to excuse us permanently from attendance. The Medical Faculty saw our names on the register and resigned. Since then they kept on resigning until Dr. . iken. in the absence of his myopic lenses, announced to the outside world that this aggregation of an unknown species was really of the race of humans. From that unpropitious beginning we acquired a reputation which is written, not on the sands of time, but with a chisel of tire on the rocks of adamant, impossible to erase. It is a record that the most scrupulous could not criticise. In fact, from the standpoint of morality we haye almost surpassed the ministerial class, as yarious unwary Freshmen haye testified. It is the custom for the class to haye prayers each morning before beginning cla.ss work. As a result of this custom we haye seyeral medical missionaries among our number. George Collins, who is spiritual mentor of the class, worked hard and long with Zack Mitchell, who was the last to see the light as it was pointed out to him. Finally, after months of darkness and disobe lience, he yielded and came into a hayen of rest which he might just as well haye entered years before instead of long tossing on the troubletl sea without. How beautiful, that this mentor should loyingly and patiently lead the more timorous and shrinking souls up the golden staircase of perfection until step by step they haye attained the height which others conquer at a bound. Let not appearance deceiye you. though. O stranger! Ours may appear to be a well-balanced class, but only an insider may know the truth. There is really a sharp line of diyision in the class that divides it eyenly into two factions — the liars and the boneheads. The latter represent the ones who were shipped for meat-throwing, the former the ones who escaped. However, when the last act has been done and the last word has been spoken, we stand as living examples in the history of the College to those who may follow — a class from whom one hundred per cent have yolunteered into the seryice; not that we are the more patriotic, but that we were the more urged. Now, as the lights grow dim and memory grows dull, we ask you to turn this blurred page of history and forget; because as dark as the past may have been, we know that light is breaking over the eastern horizon and that the dark silver-rimmed clouds will soon become fleeced with gold — for Roy Keller has a girl, and the worst cannot be yet to come. Historian. Medical Class Prophecy TN the year 1941. while on a visit to Wake Forest College, I met my old friend, ■ - Dr. L. H. Hobgood, who was practicing medicine at Wake Forest and doing special work at the Hospital as internist in the absence of Dr. W. T. Carstarphen, and also was Associate Professor of Anatomy in the Wake Forest School of Medicine. After paying my respects to my old Alma Mater, I returned to my home in St. Louis, going through the Southern States, making my first stop at Wilmington, N. C. There I found Dr. J. F. Owen, who had given up the practice of medicine in Wilmington and had become a Chiropractor. I also saw Dr. W. E. Dawson of Ashe- ville, N. C. He was demonstrating a serum which he had discovered for the cure of tuberculosis. After leaving Wilmington, my next stop was Charleston. S. C. There I was guest of Dr. S. A. Thompson, owner of the Thompson Hospital. Dr. K. L. G. Keller of Johns Hopkins Hospital was also his gue4. Dr. Keller had won ipiite a reputation as a surgeon. On my way to Atlanta I met Dr. H. B. Moore of Jacksonville, Fla., who had become a noted eye. ear. and nose specialist. He was returning from Columbia University, where be had been taking a post-graduate course. Dr. Moore was married and had five children. In Atlanta. Ga.. I met Dr. George Collins. He bad been doing general practice in Bladen County, N. C. and had become a noted Pellagra specialist. He was there attending a meeting of the Purity League. Dr. L. P. Martin, Professor of Physiology at Tulane L ' niversity, was also there. He delivered the opening address. After leaving Atlanta, I had the good fortune of meeting with my good old friend. Dr. F. Garcia of Havana, Cuba. He had won the reputation of being the Mayo of Cuba. He was scheduled to lecture at Tulane University on the Function of the Thy- roid Gland. At Birmingham. Ala.. I was a guest fur a few davs of Dr. C. F. Harris, who had become a noted stomach specialist. He had become very wealthx. being connected with the mining industry near Birmingham. When I stepped from the train in Nashville, Tenn., I was surprised to see Dr. Z. P. Mitchell, a medical missionary of Hong Kong. China. He was attending a meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. Z. P. Mitchell ' s old college pal. Dr. J. B. Williams, was with him. Dr. Williams was soliciting funds for the endowment of the Wake Forest School of Medicine. On reaching my home in .St. Louis. I was very glad to meet and have as mv guest Dr. C. T. Johnson. Dean of the Department of Medicine of Leland Stanford I niversitv, and Dr. L. G. Ellis, who was Major in the United States Army. Both were attending a meeting of the American Medical Association. Dr. Ellis was there in the interest of the United States Government. Thus endeil m ineniuraMc trip I rom Wake 1 ure I In St. Loui .

Of the total number of students this session, eighty- four are ministerial students. The class meets regularly on Thursday afternoon of each week. Lnder the able and inspiring leadership of Dr. Cullom. the Professor of the Bible, we have devoted ourselves during the past year to the study of Dr. Phillips Brooks ' Lectures on Preach- ing, and to discussing the various phases of the minister ' s work. We also have had the privilege of hearing a number of helpful and inspiring lectures from other mem- bers of the Facultv. as well as from a good number of (lislinguished visitors. When it comes to the more active side of college life, the Y. M. C. A., Sunday School, Socielv. and . thletics. there you will find members of our class in abundance taking part in all the good work. In athletics our class regularly furnishes men for the football, basket-ball, baseball, and track teams. In forensic and literary activities the Ministerial Cla.«s has made an enviable record. In every intercollegiate contest and in every literary society celebra- tion, whether in debate or oratorv ' , our men win a large share of the honors. This vcar the Students ' Berean Class has one of our members at the helm, guiding and directing it. Since we are not a class of preachers, but merely a class of college students, is it anv wonder that we sometimes feel disappointments and persecute the saints? How- ever, we feel that there is some very effective ministerial work being done by members of this class in supplying pastorless churches, relieving sick and tired pastors, and in some cases even having pastoral charge of churches. The class still holds to worthy precedents set by former classes, and is now making new precedents by taking aggressive steps in creating a stronger moral and religious atmosphere at Wake Forest College.

Football 1917 CARRYING out the hardest schedule which a Wake Forest football team has ever had. followed always by the ever-annoyinf;; jynx. and handicapped by the num- ber of inexperienced men on it, the 1917 Football Team, coached by E. T. MacDonnell of Colgate, closed the season on Thanksgiving with a record of six defeats, one tie, and one victory, out of eight games played. The team scored a total of 59 points to its opponents ' 215. Coach MacDonnell, in spite of the scoring record of his team, has made a very good impression as coach, and considering the handicaps he has had to overcome, has done very well indeed. Rabenhorst, the captain-elect, and Blanchard have been the outstanding stars of the season, and it has been mainly because of their efforts that the team has scored at all. Both of these men were picked on the All-State team, and both will be back next year to help build up a winning team at Wake Forest. Bowers, Tatum, the two Paces, Croom, and Gay are to be commended for the playing they have done during the sea- son, although they did not play as brilliantly as did Rabenhorst and Blanchard. Coach MacDonnell, upon arriving at Wake Forest to begin his first year here as football coach, found everything unfavorable to the development of a good football team. There were twenty-eight men out for the team, only three of whom were regulars from last season. For a time it seemed that Wake Forest would have abso- lutely nothing in the way of a football team. However, several men, who had been delayed on account of the draft and for other reasons, reported for practice a week or two late, and prospects began to be much brighter. The scores of the games were: I ' layeil Georgia Tech 33 Wake Forest At Allania, Ga. Furman University 7 Wake Forest 6 At Greenville, S. C. Guilford College Wake Forest 20 At Wake Forest. North Carolina Stale 17 Wake Forest 6 At Raleigh. Maryland Agricultural College 29 Wake Forest 13 At College, Md. V.P.I. .SO Wake Forest At Blacksburg, Va. Davidson 72 Wake Forest 7 At Greensboro. Hampden-Sidney 7 Wake Forest 7 At Norf.ilk. Va. The season, unsuccessful as it was in games won and points scored, brought before North Carolina football fans two of the most brilliant football players seen in action in this part of the country for years. Rabenhorst, captain-elect of the 1918 team, starred in practically every game, and scored 47 of the Baptists ' .59 points. Blanchard at right tackle in most of the games, and at full-back and eni in two games, was picked with Rabenhorst for a place on the All-State team.

BISK p A , Miss Virginia Mauney Sponsor BASLBALL .,rA ,. t- - : ' - A ' ' riy VTv Baseball 1917 WAKE FOREST closed a very successful season with the A. and E. series and the only scheduled game with the University of North Carolina to the credit of the Baptists. Although the season closed on the .500 mark, an investigation shows that of the seven college games, four were won and three lost. Two league games were dropped, while the Raleigh professionals received a defeat at the hands of Coach Billings ' nine. A comparison of the records made by the various colleges of the Stale shows that Wake Forest put in a strong bid for State honors. The most signal achievement of the season was the capturing of the entire series from State College, and defeating the University on its home ground in the only scheduled game of the season. Honors were divided with Elon, and games were lost to Guilford and Davidson. Durham and Rocky Mount League teams won from the Baptists, but Wake Forest took a victory from the Capitals by the score of 9 to 2. The season as a whole was considered very successful. The Baptist nine showed an especial familiarity with the stick, as is shown from the averages below. Duncan, the former Clayton High School star, developed into one of the best shortstops in the State, and led the hitting of Wake Forest with an average of ..3iU. Cox, first baseman, played spectacular ball throughout the season, and aided the Baptists materially by his heavy hitting. Captain Ellis had a very successful season on the mound, and proved an asset to the locals when at bat. Coach Billings deserves much credit for the showing he made, as he had to fill a number of places on the nine from raw material. The baiting averages for the team for the season fidluw: .

They secured for the club ' s e.xclusive use, and put into good playing condition, two courts near the athletic field. The zeal of this nucleus of tennis enthusiasts was contagious, and soon spread through the whole College. During the present session the display of this enthusiasm was much more manifest, and at all times the courts were full. Under the leadership of its president, C. S. Black, the club enjoyed a delightful season of tennis. In the tennis tournament, held under the auspices of the club to select a team, the same men who were victorious in several intercollegiate matches last year, C. G. Best, A. P. Sledd, and E. E. Folk, again won out. On Society Day this team went through the Elon College team to the clip of 6-2, 6-4 in doubles, and 6-2. 6-4 in singles. The other single match was called off on account of darkness. Several other matches were scheduled, hut on account of bad weather, and for various other reasons, they could not be played.

Derieux SOCIATE PROFKN UU UF KN(,LI H [Reprinted from Youlh ' s Companioii 1 N khaki and leggings and broad-brimmed hat, Arthur Singleton stood lialfwav -I- between the house and the road, and directed three negroes who were plowing deep for cotton. Three months ago he had come home from the state agricultural col- lege to take charge of the plantation; and even in that short time the results of his vigorous administration were visible. The old hedge-rows that had once stretched from the mansion to the big road had been cut; the site of the flower gar len had been plowed under; an avenue of half-dead trees had been removed and the driveway narrowed. Only the Singleton oaks remained. They bordered the road on either side for a quarter of a mile. Their rugged outlines were softened now by the filmy green tracery of early spring. On the topmost branch of the tallest tree a mocking-bird poured out his joy to the morning. As Arthur ' s father, Maj. Francis Singleton, came out on the big white-columned portico and took his seat in the sunlight, he turned toward him. Then with a final look at the three negroes, who were shouting at their mules and who were plowing faster than they had ever plowed before, he strode toward the house. The Major smiled as his son came up on the portico. Arthur leaned against one of the columns and looked at his father. The young man cleared his throat. I have decided. he said, ihal those oak out there on the road must go. The old gentleman grasped bis stick tighter and. uilh i hallenging eves, glanced up from underneath his broad hat. Why? he demanded. They shade the cotton, father. Their roots rob the soil. The lumlier companv will pay well for ihem. cut and hauled, and we need the money to meet the note for fertilizer. Why, Arthur, do you know. sir. that those trees have been famous for two centu- ries, that travelers from afar have praised them, that General Marion in the Revolu- tionary War used to rest his forces underneath them? I know all that, father, but — All these years, c(jnlinufd llie Major, not heeding llie ijiterruplion. tliev have blessed tired man and beast. Now that the forests are cut. thev form an oasis along a blazing road. To cut them, sir, would be sacrilege! That ' s sentiment, father. es. sir. admitted the Major, it ' s sentiment. Don ' t you think that sentiment has cost us enough in the past, father? Arthur flushed and checked himself. Perhaps he had gone too far. Under his father ' s mismanagement the original plantation had sadlv dwindled. Notes signed without question for army comrades in need and for distant relatives had consumed hundreds of acres. In . rthur ' s opinion, sentiment had been the old gentleman ' s beset- ting weakness, and he had come home firmly re-olved to fight it. The fight was on, and he must win. You see, father. he c mtinued. we have to meet that note for fertilizer. Vou can ' t meet a n ote these days with anything except monev. . s for the oaks. 1 love them as much as you. The Major smiled a little bitterly. Do you? he asked. You do not remember your mother well. Arthur. She died when vou were quite young. She loved those trees. When she was a slender bride she used to walk under them. After you learned to toddle she took you out there. The .Major smiled. Such a tinv lot. under such giant trees — I see it all again. Those trees are entwined with the life of your ances- tors. They — Father! ' .Arthur inlerpo ed. more deeply moved than he would admit to himself. You are getting away from the matter in hand. The note! I sav we must meet the note! Can it not be renewed? I know the president of the bank well. He comes of a good family. Oh, father, you know nothing of modern business! A note promptly met means ready credit in the future, and that means everything to us. I have just begun this work. I must, I will see it succeed — unless you, father, tie my hands with sentiment! Are your hands so easily lied? asked the Major, serenely. Arthur flu.shed angrily. The impossibility of standing on common ground with his father in these matters slung him to a sort of desperation. He took a step forward and looked straight into the Major ' s eyes. I look charge of the plantation under an agreement, sir. That agreement was, that in matters of this sort I was to have my way. You said at the time it was a gentle- man ' s agreement, and — Have a care, young man! cried the Major. I do not need vou to remind me that a gentleman ' s agreement is binding. I might remind you, though, that there are certain tacit considerations — that a gentleman ' s agreement is not to be pushed to its technical limits. If so, it ceases to be a gentleman ' s agreement. There ' s the note, .Arthur said, grimly, . othing except money will satisfy the note. I appeal to our agreement. The Major rose from his chair and. straightening his bent shoulders, looked Arthur steadily in the eye. Do you interpret the agreement as meaning that you have a right to cut those trees? ■ Emphatically, I do! Then the oaks shall be cut. Hank! he called to an old negro who just then came round the corner of the house. Tell the boys first thing in the morning to get at those oaks along the road. Whal you gwiiie ilo wid em. suli? asked Hank. ' Cut them down. Cut ' em down! Cut em! The old negro ' s jaw dropped in hiank amazement, and his eyes suddenly grew big. They shade the cotton. Hank. But cotton grow up in a year, suh! pleaded Hank, twisting his limp hat as if it were a rag. It take a t ' ousand years to grow dem trees. The matter ' s settled. Tell the boys. Hank, mumbling to himself, hobbled dowji the slejis. The Major went into the house. Dinner that day was eaten in silence. Old Mandy. the cook, as she waited on the table, now and then cast angry glances at Arthur. Hank always sought the kitchen with his griefs and indignation. Arthur knew that most of the silent rebellions against his regime originated in the kitchen. ' I am going to Charleston this afternoon, father, said Arthur, when the meal was over. I shall now be able to meet the note. It removes a burden from my mind. ' I am glad the burden is removed. replied Major Singleton. You have worked hard, my boy. That afternoon Arthur drove to the station and took the train for Charleston. He was going to attend to business, that was true; but if he had looked deep into his heart he would have discovered that he was in fact running away. He did not want to be with his father that afternoon, and he did not want to see the trees come crashing down in the morning. Once in the city, however, his feelings changed. Here was life and stir and busi- ness. He walked briskly uptown. The sight of the cadets drilling in Citadel Square thrilled him. Like him, these were clean-cut young fellows, members of a new genera- tion, practical and eflicient. With a touch of pity, he thought of his father and the old generation that had dreamed away their lives. He had turned into King Street, when a touring car, spattered with mud and with a trunk strapped on behind, passed him. The driver turned suddenly and waved his hand to him. It was Fred Graham, an old college friend from the upper part of the State, in whose home he had spent Thanksgiving. Beside Fred sat Mary Graham, with her veil flying out behind. The car turned to the curb and stopped, and Arthur hur- ried toward them. Climb in, commanded Fred, as they shook hands. We are taking our spring vacation trip. You must eat supper with us tonight. As the car moved on, Mary Graham turned half round to him. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes dancing. You can ' t gue-s whom we saw this afternoon, she said. We saw your father! I ' m sure it was he. A skeptical snort from her brother indicated that he was less certain. It was your father, wasn ' t it? I don ' t know, said Arthur, laughing. Where was he and what was he doing? Marv turned round and rested her little gloved hand on the back of the seat. ' AImiuI forlv miles back on llie mad. near Fulawville. we passed him. He and an old negro were walking along the road, under a grove of trees. It was vour father, wasn ' t it? With a sober face Arthur nodded assent. Mary turned to her brother, triumph- antly. ' 1 told ou so, she said. For one thing. Arthur, he looked like vou. .At that moment Fred stopped the car in front of the hotel, and the conversation was interrupted. A few minutes later the three went ino the large white dining-room: they had it almost to themselves, for the winter tourists had departed and the travel to the coast had not begun. Now. began Arthur, when they had ordered supper, tell me about father. The girl leaned forward eagerly. X e had been driving through a level, drearv country, when we suddenly ran into an enchanted spot. On both sides of the road grew great, wonderful oaks that met overhead. I just made Fred slow down. Then I saw across the fields the old mansion with its white columns, and the other houses grouped around. I remembered your description of vour home, and I told Fred I believed that was the very place. You haven ' t said anything about father vet. Arthur said. Oh, that ' s the best of all! Your father and an old negro, both bareheaded, were walking under the trees. They did not hear us coming. Now and then thev stopped and looked up at the trees like children, and your father pointed out something with his cane. In the afternoon sunlight the whole scene was magical. She ' s full of sentiment. said Fred, laughing. But .Xrlhur was wondering whether, after all. sentiment was not one of the best things in the world. They both bowed low as we passed, .Mary went on. When I looked back, thev had continued their walk. You know, I had a strange feeling. I fell that the old gentleman and his servant were in some sort of trouble, and that I should like to serve them. There was another burst of laughter from Fred. The waiter was coming toward them at last, balancing his tray; but Arthur, rising suddenly, glanced at his watch. Perhaps you have served them, he said gently to .Mary. I hate to break awav like this, but I ve got to go home, and I have only ten minutes to catch the train. Ohl ' cried Mary. There was nothing the matter: really, there wasn ' t. Your father looked well and ruddy. I didn t mean — I know, ' Arthur replied, with a smile. There is nothing serious. I just feel that I ought to go. This train is the last chance until tomorrow afternoon. Now, what ' s all this? demanded Fre l, rising, with his napkin in his hand. Mary, you have played thunder with the delicate feelings of our one-time all-star tackle. .Are you really going. Arthur? Well, it looks like a case of temporarv insanity, but Til lake you to the station in the car. I ' ll be back in ten minutes, Mary. ' Arthur shook hands with Mary, and the two young men hurried out of the dining- room and to the garage. Then Fred drove swiftly to the station: the two jumped out and ran through the waiting-room to the shed. The train was pulling out. The gates were closed. Fred put his hand on .Arthur ' s shoulder. Nothing serious, old man, is it? Oh. no. replied Arthur. 173 Taken this way often? No — not often enough. They went back and had tlieir supper. Then all three took a walk through the citv. When they said good-night in the lobby at the hotel, Mary came close to Arthur. What was the matter? she asked, with a serious look on her face. For a moment Arthur was on the point of telling her about the trees, and then he said, Why. I just thought of something that I ought to attend to — nothing serious. Arthur crawled wearily into bed, but he could not sleep. Now that the sounds of the street were silent, the picture of old Hank and his father taking their last walk under the trees became more and more vivid in his mind. He went over again and again his conversation with his father that morning. He knew that he had over- emphasized the importance of meeting the note — that he could renew the note without much hurting his credit. His father ' s words about the agreement recurred to him. Had he not overstepped the bounds of a gentlemen s agreement in insisting that the trees his father loved be cut? The trees themselves seemed to rise before his eyes in long, stately lines — giants that had battled a hundred tempests. He could see them prostrate now. with only the ugly stumps to mock the spot they had blessed. Midnight struck — 1 o ' clock — 2 o ' clock. In four hours the destruction would begin. Through his window he could see the moon, shining bright. Was his father looking at the oaks now in the moonlight for the last time? Springing out of bed, Arthur Singleton turned on the light and dressed. He hur- ried down the silent hall to Fred ' s room. He knocked on the door until at last Fred, frowzy-haired and blinking, opened it. Fred looked at his friend with unfeigned astonishment. Another fit? he asked. Fred, said Arthur, I am going to ask a favor of you. Will vou take me home? When? Now. What for? I must go, Fred; I must. Arthur .Singleton. said Fred, seriously, you used to be a sensible fellow, or at least 1 thought so; but if you aren ' t acting like a crazy person now. I ' m crazy myself. I don ' t understand you, but I ' m game. I ' ll take you. Fred began to dress. Now, he continued, when he had put on his coat, I ' ll tell Mary. If she wakes up and finds I ' m not here, she ' ll be worried. He was gone for some time, and when he returned he said. Mary insists on going. too; she ' ll be along in a minute. It ' s catching. Arthur— this complaint of yours. I feel it coming on, myself. Day was breaking when they came in sight of the oaks. Arthur had told Mary and Fred why he wanted to get home, and Fred, although he had laughed, had driven like a madman. L p the driveway they sped to the big porch. Hank came round to meet them. Where is father? Arthur demanded, eagerly, as he climbed out of the car. 174 He riz early, suh. ' replied the old negro, coldly. He walked off dat way. Hank pointed in the direction opposite the oaks. He couldn ' t stand to see them cut, said Mary softly to Arthur, and her eyes were bright with happiness. Oh, he ' ll be so happy now! It ' s cold and damp for him to be out, Arthur said to Hank. Me and Mandy done wropped him up, suh, the old negro replied. Me and Mandy been a-lookin ' arter him for twenty year, suh. The trees are not to be cut. Hank. said Arthur. Tell the boys to go on with the plowing. What dat, Marse Arthur? cried Hank. What dat I hear you say, suh? De trees, de trees! He was trembling with joy. They are not to be cut down. Mandv! Mandv! whar are you. oP woman? Is you deef? Hank hobbled toward the kitchen. Arthur turned to his friends. I think I know where father ' s gone. There ' s an old negro in a cabin in those woods. He went through the war with father. We ' ll follow! cried Mary. And the three started by a path across the fields. The sun had risen bright when they reached the cabin. Major Singleton heard their steps and came out to meet them. Father! Arthur drew himself up like a soldier making his report. I came home to save the Singleton oaks. The Major glanced quickly at the faces round him. Bui how about the note? he asked. I exaggerated the importance of meeting the note now. he said. We can renew it, of course. I wanted to have my own way, sir. Arthur turned to Mary. She changed my mind, sir. This is Mary Graham. You have heard all about the Gra- hams. As Major Singleton bared his head, the sun glistened on his silvery hair. He took the girl ' s hand and looked into her eyes. My dear young woman, he said, if Arthur had not changed his purpose in your presence, he would not have been a son of mine. Arthur took a deep breath of the morning air. The tears were not far from his eyes: for as he looked at the old gentleman and the young woman, he knew that some- thing of his father ' s sentiment lived in his own heart, and he thanked God for the heritage.
