Washington College - Pegasus Yearbook (Chestertown, MD)

Text from Pages 1 - 142 of the 1909 volume:

Preface E ALL KNOW that this book is not what it should be. It is probably much shorter than you expeL ' ted to see, and certainly much shorter than we intended that it should be. But remember that we are working in the dark; we have not had the experience that can be derived from preceding publications. We have been sadly disappointed in some of oiM- cartoons, and consequently the book is not as attrac ' tive as it otherwise would have been. .So, reader, while we, of course, expec t you to criticise it, don ' t be too hard on us. Remember that we are as yet only Juniors, and still have a year in which to rectify some of the many mistakes that we have made.

The e-xact date of the heginning of the .Xcademy and Kent I ' ree School appears to he unknown; hiU there is a record of the transfer of land to the Academy in 172 and the college, as an educational institution, nught, with all pr )])rietv and historical accuracw date its origin from this late. Tlie language of the charter makes it plain that the organization of the college was merely an enlargement of the powers of the Kent School, with a change in name to appro- priatelv mark that event.

In onr l ' reshinan year we did not make such a strong slKiwint;- on the ,L;ridii-on hut nevertheless we had three res ' ular nien on the team besides many ] romisin.i;- men for the followini vear. ( )n the basehall team we had two re. ular men wdio were always cons])iciions hv their star pla iny, besides several who were ] rominent on the second team. This vear onr class went throu.yh without a sinok. fadure _ et when we retm-ned in the Fall of igori our nnmher had ilwindled to si.xteen. two havin,i;- left colle,!.;e and two having; decided to take special courses. Onr class dnrint; the previous year was very (|uiet : realizing our jiosition. we knew that it was best for us not to incur the wrath of the Sophomores bv making ourselves too conspicuous, b ' or this rea.son we did not elect any class officers, but in the Sophomore year we realizeil that we were out of danger, and decided to execute our duties as So|)homores to the utmost, b ' irst we elected class officers, A. H. Porter being our first president. It was during this year that we had the Preps, and Freshmen at onr command, causing several of them to make high records as track men. and added sewral members to the glee club, after consider- able hard work and much training; but we feel that our work and time was not lost, as they have since pro -ed to be -aluable men. ( )n the gridiron this year our men. whc) were four in number, were alwa_ s reflecting credit not onl - on the class of i(jo ' ) but also on dear (dd Washington. In baseliall om- ])la -ei-s were alwavs fast, as it was almost impossible for a ball to pass through shortstop or third l:)ase, although it was seklom they had a chance when our pitcher was in the box. We did not go through this year like the pre ' ious year as one or two members decifled to wait until li)lo to graduate. When we returned the following fall we found, much to om- regret, that onlv eleven of our members were present, . lthough few in number we determined to do our work in a creditable manner. At the first meeting of the class we elected Page Seventeen. E. Ci. r.reciling president. This being considered the nmst (Ufficult year at col- lege, onr class set to work with the determination and the perseverance which are sure to win and which are so characteristic of our class. Like in previous years our class took its [lart in all Ijranches of athletics, having three on the football team, two on the baseball team and als i being well rejjresente 1 on the track. This year we went through without a single failure, all returning in the fall of 1908 — nine boys and two girls. At our first class meeting A. D. Alackey was elected president. A ' e soon acciuired the dignity so becoming to Seniors and walked around as important as any of our predecessors. This brings the histor}- u]) t ' the jiresent time: although it is a very brief outline of the many and great achievements of the class, space does not permit us to go intu iletail. We ask the reader to deal kindly and leniently with the mistakes which we may have made, rememljering that we are as yet only college men and women. Earle G. Breeding Federalsburg, Md. Tom may justly be styled a ladies man, and is liked Ijy all of them, because he never slights any of them: he delights in walking down town and .stopjiing in several houses before he gets back, just as he says to see some of his friends, Tom is never idle and often when all of the fellows are in bed, one will find Tom seated near an open win- dow% playing softly on his mandolin and singing all kinds of enticing songs to the moon. Mabel W Jefferson Chestertown, Md. A[al fl. or •■JelT, as she is t cncrall) callcil, is a fuii-l(i iny. hotik-aljlinring ,i,nrl. Shu is a sect 111(1 I ' rilzi Sclicff, and can l)c heard warhhn.i;- all over the hall, her favorite soni; ' ■ ' Who IS Sylvia? Her expert dancin.i;- has won for her the hiyiiest esteem of all the bovs. (ell is rather fond of the opposite sex, especially one of her class-mates, who can tell of many ]ileasant times spent at her comfortal le home not far from town. James W. Johns Church Hill, Md. limmie is a resident of that historic town of Church Hill, and to hear him talk about Its importance in the War of the Revolution one gets the impression that it was Hunker Hill or ' alley Forge, under an assumed name, jimniie delights in . ncient History and thinks that he can trace his ancestcirs liack to William the Coriqueror : let us hope that he will awaken from his dream before he leaves us. With malice toward none and a smile for all. Jimmie is well liked by every- body. PagL- Xi: Albert D. Mackey Fair Hill, Md. Adam is a good representati -e of tlie g;ood old county of Cecil. Mackey is noted for deep thinking, friendly advice to those disturbed by feminine affairs, his frecfuent outbursts of hea -enly music from his violin, ;d)unilance an l free disposal of poor Rich- ard ' s sa_ ' ings, and his First Sermon Against Women. 3.1ack can al va}-s lie recognized by his |;)atent-applied-for walk, which is sijuiething between a barn dance and a waltz. William R. Moody Chestertown, Md. ] Ioody is the only one in the class from Chestertown and is almost the most stud- ious. ' hilc the other boys are out visiting the fairer sc.x, or some other fool ish past- time, as Alooily styles it, he is home ponder- ing over his lessons fi r the next day : but m summer time Raymond is just the other way and seeks very ( ' iligently the ])resence of the ladies. Ali :od - is well known as a hard student and is well liked 1 - his fellow class-mates. Conlyn E. Noland TolchcStcr, Md. Xdlanil i tlu- i|uii. ' lr t dik- in tlir class. lie ' i.-i s ' .-lildiii talk-. iiuK ' li. and wlicn one III ihc j irls askc:l liini llu- reasnn nne (!a -, lie vvrv |)iililel ' i ' c])lieil: A i|iiiel tnns ue liiiwcth a wise lierul. ami 1 am mi exce|)tii)n.

Albert H. Porter Worton, Md. In this ynuni; ' man we see the realization (if all the l)ri,i;lit iirnspects that his parents had laid niU fur him — a man of society ' s whirl. .Mhert says that this is what his |)arents wished him to he and that Washing- ton College, or rather Chestertown, is the ])lace in which to dewdi ip himself. Wdiile home visiting a few da) ' s, his niothei- asked him if he was going to get married. . ll:)ert looked up in suriirise and reidied. Indeed, mother. I don ' t know; she hasn ' t asked me yet. Page Twenty-one. Eugene W. Pruitt Stockton, Md. CiCOf hails frnm Stockton, where they catch oysters ami sand fleas. He is a great lover of liaseball, and after reading all about the equestrian games in A ' irgil ' s Anead, Gene threw down his book in disgust, ex- claiming, Wdi}- don ' t they play baseball. 1 le is honored by being captain of our team this year, in addition to this he nnist not be left out of the societ}- swing, wdiere he has man - friends and admirers. Ormond V. Spedden Cambridge, Md. Spedo never tires of talking of Cam- bridge an l one judging from his descri])- tion concerning its pro.sperit} ' . magnitude, amusements, etc., would |)lace it second in rank with ew ' ork. ( irmond is a great logician, detecting errors in almost everv- tiiing and ne er tiring of poiiuing them out to y(ju. Spedo is also a great blutter in reci- tations and some of his instructors tell bad things of him on this account. Page Twenty-two. Frederick B. Sylvester Hillsboro, Md.

(; ovfi- class histories I find tliat the (hlTerent his- torians are unanimous in lechu-in,ij,- that their tasi is a iiard one. I fullv a.i;ree with them, hut for a particular reason 1 c insi(ler my task harder than some others. The class of i()io ha always hecn the largest, most energetic antl, I have heard some ])eo])le say, the hest class in college. Were 1 to faithfully descrihe all rhe doings of this class it wouhl take a volume. I will touch on all the most im- portant things hut at hest it will he only a liare outline of the class history. (_ n a liriglU v epitemher morning, in the year njod, there assemliled in the old chapel a numlier of hoys and girls who were henceforth to he known as the class of 1910. We soon got together and elected officers; Johnson was elected ])resident. We also decided to elect officers yearly, as more than one year as an officer in such a noble aggregation w.mld make a man get such a swelled head as to become conceited. The Sophomores tried to break u|) this meeting, but the TM-eshmen just turned around, snnled a little at such childish efforts and threw the Sophomores out. We then locked the door. During the first term the class Inickled down to make a mark in studies. e .succeeded adnnrablv; so admirably, in fact, that oiu ' i)resident in commenting on the result of the nndwinter examinations took occasion especially to congratulate the rM-eshman class on the fme showing it had maile. .- t that time we lid not know what disgrace this meant, but when we heard the snickers from the upper classmen and the titters from the girls the light of a new understanding began to dawn on us. We went out of chapel with a sheepish air, and resolved never to be so disgrace l again. The occurrence has never been repeated. Onr class has alwavs been prominent in athletics. In our Freshman year we had f ve regular men .m the football team and four regulars and three sub- stitutes on the l)aseball team. In our Sophomore vear we found that out of twenty-seven Freshmen, only twenty-two had returned. ' Idiere were, however. fi -e newcomers, who increased the nnmber to twent - e en. We began to make h ' reshmen and I ' reps look sick- before we got our trunks un|iaekeck We tried out the cantbikites for the track team and glee club imiuirlially. We then ga ' e a few concerts, track and field meets to judge the team woi ' k of the candiflates. The) ' were vcr} ' successful — from our point of view, which was about the onl - iiojnt of -ie v there was. Wdien we felt we h;id done our dul - iu ihi-- direction we got together and elected officers and decided to publish an annual. We knew this meant quite a lot of work but then we were the class of |i)io. In our So|)homi re xxar we lia l six regular men on the football team, beside Caiitain Aladdo.x, and three substitutes, so we challenged the rest of the college to a game, the challenge w a-, accepted. The day of the game ( ' awned ; not bright and sunnx ' as it should, but dark and rain -. From the kick-off until the last whistle was l)lown, the liall was first in one territory and then in the other, and the game ended l)y neither side scoring. The class won in the two track and field meets held this } ' ear. liesides taking both class rela_ ' s. We had tills ear four regular men on the liaseball team, one of wdiom, Knotts, was captain. dlen we returned iu om Jimior _ ' ear we found onl_ - nineteen had retiu ' iied, two decided to graduate in Kjl I. I Ia) ' es. who joined Us this ear. makes the total number twenty. This ear we had six regular men on the footl)all team, liesides Captain Gib- son, wdio decided to graduate with the class of l(;lo. This is niit as many as last •ear. but still more than half the team. We also have four regular men on the baseball team. At the present writing the track team has not been selected but we are reasonabh ' sure of four of the five men who will go to I ' hiladelphia. ' ]. this brings the history up to date liiu as I think of the three years I have spent with the organized class. I see that this gives a very meagre account of its deeds. If it should seem to vou that we have tiiade errors and I. lux ' self admit many errors of commission and omission, rememlier. gentle reader, we have still another vear to rectif} ' our mistakes.

At last after manv tr ing hours of work we became known to the students of Washington College as Sophomores. Sophomores, in.leed, with all the glory and splendor that goes with the class of thai name.

Should T e -er heconic a historian of equal alMlity to Herodotus, or Xenciihon, the feeble efforts of my pen could never do justice to the class of ' 12. As most of us came here in September of IQOJ, I will begin my story there. e were a motley group, and the Sopho- mores were divided in opinion as to what class of animals we belonged ; some called us insects and others called us rats. They were unable to classify us even after putting us through various gymnastic exercises and tests, known only to Sophomores, even singing and delivering declamations ; consecjuently the terms, insect and rat clung to us all the vear. Along with the knowledge of I atin, mathematics and other scholastic studies, one to be a model student must also know how to set a bed, how to pack up a room, how to escape detection while on the streets after seven o ' clock, how to be in your own room and some one else ' s at the same time during insi)ection. and also have enough knowledge of electricity to put the lights out in the Iniilding. Being bright students, we soon mastered these problems, and practised them much, not only to the annoyance of the Faculty, but also to the annoyance of some of our fellow students. Our first year soon passed by and it was not until last September that we found ourselves true students of ' ashingt(.)n College. Quite a number of our old classmates did not come back in September, but their jilaces were taken bv some new students, fortunate enough to enter our class. About the last ])art of September we held our first class meeting and elected Stanley Porter as our president. Football season and Thanksgiving slipped I.)}- rapidlv and before we knew what we were doing we were on our way home for the Christmas Holidays. Christmas treated us liffereutly than is its wont to treat persons, for instead of giving us something it t iok away tw(3 of :iur classmates — Owens and Ruckley.

Mow we now look hack on those da -s with a smile! l ' very night we had to lie sui ' e that the doors were locked and that our heds were not near the trans oms, for we did not know what minute some sleepless Senior would try to play a joke on us. The very names of flypaper and cohl water made us shiver. I ' .ut. notwithstanding all our fears, we li ed through that vear without taking a sticky dance, or a midnight cold water plunge. In Septemher, 1007, w e were joine l hy ' Coo]), ' from St. Michaels High School and bv ' Russell ' from Cheslertown I ligh School. In Xoveniher we got together and elected our class officers. About three days later it was necessary to have a class meeting. How proud we were when one morning after prayers our college President reail the following notice: A meetmg of the Junior Normal Class is desired to-day at 12.20 p. m. in room Xo. 101. ■■ How big we felt! We imagine,! every one was looking at us and it was then that we realized our importance in being Junior Xormals. Our class that vear was very successful, ];ariicularly in music. Xever shall we forget our first lesson! ' e b.ail to stay in neaily one hour after lunch, jiist because we coukl not sing the correct interval between ui)i)er ■Mo and la. Russell was our star songster, although she was c(-)nstaiitly told that she was too precoci ius. We received many compliments in orr taknt. one of which was from our instructor: ' AWdl. girls, your singing certainly sounds like the wailing of a dying calf. In the midst c)f this we lost a set from our ring. I5ess. on account of ill hcaltli. was ci ni|K ' llcil in leave us. fJiir eonvcrsatii m at dinner now became dull and dr_ ' , as we had m mie in tell us of 1 ' .en and Tdiu.

This whole } ' ear was one of ga ety, jolity and trickery and when June came at last we knew that dur fun as junidr .Xnrmals was nver. I ' .ut we had fully enji)_ -ed the year and had liveil u]i t ' nur motto. It is i()oS — an l we are Senior Normals, but are few in number. It is not the quantity Imt the Muality that counts. DeCorse. our laugher, is attending St. Mary ' s Seminary, while Stella has left us to go to the State .Xormal School. At the election of class officers this ' ear the biggest mistake in the whole history of the ' og Normal Class was made, when the jiresent historian was elected. This, our Senior year, has not lieeii b - any means dr - and uninteresting. )f course, we are a little more dignified titan we were last war, but we have not forsaken our motto and have not forgotten how to ])lay tricks and crack jokes.

Inez is studying hard, while the historian and her room- mate are enjoying life to the uttermost. Russell is still leading the class in singing, but Eva is i|uietl) ' rooming on the first fioor and is attending to no one ' s afl: airs but her own. Just before Christmas we gave a part - in honor of the ' in Normal Class. It would be no light task to tell of the fun we had getting up this affair ;uid the dif- licull - we had in keeping the secret from the ears ( d ' the cuidous Junior Normals; but we overcame this difficult) ' and many otbu ' s, and there has ne ' er been a more wonderful class in the whole history of the college than the ' oy Normal Class.

Soon the poor 1 ' reps experienced some excruciating midnight scenes of ghosts and goblins.

Mr. Ilalhert, late of St. John ' s College, next took up the work. Under his direction football, hitherto given less attention than other ])hases of sport, was thrust into the foreground. More scientific methods were adopted; the interest of the students greatly increased and work on the gridiron pushed to the limit. Dur- ing this period, a new athletic field was added to the college possessions. Hitherto all athletic contests had been held on the Middle ami Lower Campuses. A ground sufficiently large to accommoilate all forms of sport gave added impetus to athletic ndertaking- . Mere, all work of the sort was in the future to be concen- trated. The opening of Washington h ' ield thus marks a new era in the College athletic historv. I ' .aseball was played on the new field, but lack of turf, at first l)revented a suitable gridiron. Mr. ? lahone -, of Hates College, then assume(l charge. During this time the athletic field w a-, encli.ised and a large grandstaml was erected. These improve- ments enal)leil business-like methods to be adopted, so that larger crowds could be accommodated than in jirevious years. The field was again used for baseball, but the Lower Cam|)ns gridiron was still kept in service. I ' nder the sujiervision (.)f the i)resent Director of . thletics, Afr. ]M. J- Thomp- son, late of Cie(:)rgetown b ' niversity. football was for the first time played on Washington Meld. The advent (d Mr. Thompson marks wdiat max be called the second epoch in this history. liurris was the progenitoi of Miccessful organization in Washington athletics; Thomi)son has a]i]ilied modei-n methods to this finished work and k ept it abreast with the spirit of the times. I )uring this administration, the s -stem of athletics has been markei ' l_ stren gthene 1. ' file constitution of the Athletic . ssociation has been amended so that a strong et lle.xible system has i)een attained. The managerial staff is composed of members having responsibil- ities accor ling t .i their seniority, and duties are distrilnited e ' enly, so that the work runs smoothh ' and without friction, v oon after the advent of the present director, a quarter mile track was laid out on Washington Field. For the first time a successful track-team was organized. This widening out of activity led to Page Eiglity-eiglit. increascil iiiterrsl in track allilrtics and Icams sciil 1.. llir I ' nivcr il .if r -nns l- vania and ll(i|ikins niccl liavt- r(ini|n-U-d rrcdilalily willi inslilnli. in. ni v [iva slandin--.

The athletic authorities jjropose to make this meet an annual Commencement featm-e and l) the unmher ami alue of the ])rizes oiTered to raise the e -ent to the standai ' d set ii_ larger institutions. f.ridiron athletics has taken a remark ' ahle stride iluring the ])ast two -ears. . lr. ThompMin ' s range of knowledge in this work has done much toward l)road- cning the field of acti ' it -. The l)enefit of his kn(]wledge as coach and referee has gone toward putting the work on a scientific hasis, so (hat the teams have fieen m(ire successful than in ]ire -ious years. The schedules include the uni ' ersities and larger colleges and the tendenc) ' is toward a widely-known footljall team. Ilasehall. also has recei ed its proportionate share of success. The schedules in this department carr - as man_ ' , and in some cases more games than those of larger in.stitutions. The tendency of the directorship it toward the idea of coming into relationship with well-known iustitiUioUs and, as much as possil)le, with ])romi- neut uui -ersities. The team, though ' ounger than that of the da_ -s of Unnus. has attained a record rix ' aliug that ol the famous moustache s(|nad of the old davs. f.ooking hack ' nwv tht ' interesting histor)- ni Washington . thletics, we find a grailual growth from the insignificant and unassuming conditions of the Ho ' s up to the llourishing and auspicious ])ros])ects of the present da} ' . There has been an upward metamorphosis in C(imi aratively so short a time as to greatly surjirise those who, now in larger and rnore nsefid fields, once lingered within these halls of learning. I ' .nt the whole story is not } ' et told. Washington is not yet satis- fied. Although she ma_ well he ]iroud of her .athletic achie ' ements, there are ' et more g ials to cross and more theories to he ] ut into practice. The efl ' ort is being made to expand along all lines and in all directions, ' idle organization perfected in late years is seen in the dejiortment of the stitdent body on the field: the char- acter of the cheering S(|ua(l; and the general s])irit d ' the student bodv. Creat enthusiasm is being manifested by the alumni in all phases of athletics, and it is to be hoped that b ' their aid and su.pjxirt the already creditable system of athletics at Washington may be still more successful in all resjjeets until our Alma IMater will stand second to none in the spirit of her rdumni and undergraduates: the breadth of her acti ' ities and her success in all departments of manl} ' sport. Page Eiglity-nine. Al. J. ' I ' liompsdii, DiiTclnr df Athletic ni Washington, was bdrn in Water- Iiurv. Conn., and his early education was received at the High School in that city. While at school, he developed an early interest in athletics, being elected captain of the first football team organized at the High v cho(-il. AIan - interesting stories may be told of the embryoic ideas of athletic sport dcvelopeil in this northern town, and instances related of how the good people of Waterbury have since been fnlly re]iaid for the i)art the} ' took in that de ' elopment. Snffield . cademv was the next scene of acti -it_ At this place .Mr. Thompson managed lioth the l.)ase- ball ami football teams. At I loly Cross College, conviction as t(.) the true function of college sport began to mature. Here we find the subject of our remarks ac- tively engaged in managerial pursuits. .V severe injury had prevented the grati- fication of an acknowledge 1 desire to enter into active athletics, but des|)ite this fact, the first basketball and football teams e -er to represent llolv Cross were successfully managed under his direction. At the same time began an ofiicial career on the gridiron and the track that soon gained for him a considerable reputation, the prestige of which was later to lead to wide-spread activities in the larger institutions of the b ' ast. After receiving the degree of Liachelor of Arts at Holy Cross, Mr. Thompson, Page Ninety. ik ' sirinj - to scxtt all iiilini:itc rrlatidiis wiili aililrlir life, lici;aii | isf -j;railiialr w.irk at ( .(.■(ir.LiVtown I Hivfrsitw lliil tlie cll--rnnn.lcil kii. iwlcl i- .if Cm11i ' ,i;i ' s|.nrl .i;ainc 1 in prcx ' ioii yt ' ars was n,,i sd rasilx ' cast aside.

Thompson was rei|nested to remain in the ca]):ieil - of athletic adviser at the university. The office of Cradnate .Mana.i;er was tiien created and the new advisor duly in.stalled. It is useless to (iiscuss in detail the work dciue in this capacity. L.et it suffice to say that a sudden impetus wa- tjiven all phases of sport at the southern university. The fact that its athletic represent- active was. at ofttinies. refereeiny some of the hi. t est footl all games and track- meets in the country, hrought greatl} ' increase.! prestige to C.eorgetown.

W hen the graduate manager ' s name was mentioneil as a possible successor to M U- . lur]ihy. the famous ' ale trainer, the . ew ' ork Tiiiu ' s said of the Washington man: The record of this manager shows a list of performances that sIk.uM make him a favorite in the race. It would show that under his regime, the Georgetown l)aseball team led the college world, and it is due in no small degree to AFanager Thompson ' s ahilitv that this was so. I ' nder his guidance, Cieorgetown rose from a minor position in the col- lege athletic world to one (d ' |)rominence and honor. flis epoch-making work done at Georgetown. .Mr. Thom|)son came to W ' ashing- Ton College to take up scholastic duties hehind the instructor ' s (lesk. Wdiile not so busily engaged in athletic work as formerly, his interest in the college and his advice in athletic affairs has led to a marked chan.ge in Washington athletic. In two years the athletic reputation a] the college has been greatlv enhanced and to- day tile (|ualitv of her work nearly coincides with that of prouder institutions. Although .Mr. Thompson does not leave his work whenever called bv his athletic friends, his advice is sought on inip(.)rtant ijuestions and he occasionally officiates at the larger games and meets. In closing, it may be saiil that the secret of his success lies in the fundamental ideas of purit - in sport an 1 a S(|uare deal in col- lege athletics. So that Washington may be justly congratulated upon having her athletics in charge of such a man as . 1. j. Thom])son. Football Seas.iii (if I90,S. Coacli AI. J.

Then spake Peejee the Wise : It seemeth to nie that the wiser ] Ian is to go home and tc) let no man know we have started, for if we attack yonder wild and heathen throng we shall all be wounded and jjerish. Then spake also Franklin the Big : Truly, truly hath Peejee spoken ; we shall all i erish and be damned. Then also Peejee is wise, and knoweth best. Let us all go home and lay us down to rest after our laljors. Then cried Sasscer the Red : ' erily, verily I say unto } ' ou that we shall all be hvpocrites and cowards if we do not quell yomler disorder. What woidd our weakling subjects say if it were discovered that the high and mighty rulers had (piailed before such a task as ours. The great would become objects of scorn and contempt. Even the beggers in the street would not deign to touch us. Let us go, before the wild and bloody banditti have destroyed all the goods of Brother Jarrel, the Tiller. Then the band being thus encouraged, ran with all speed, and when they were near to the barn the tumult and stamping grew greater and they were afraid. Then spake Etickus the .Alighty: Let us gi.i in a body in order to lend each other courage: perhaps the bloodv blacks will be stricken with fear and flee. Then the noble little band rushed into the barn whence the tumult arose and found Jarrel the Tiller of the Soil tending a horse wdiich had been stricken with the cramps.

F,S ' CLASS in I li-licr Algebra had, for some niikiiiiwn reasiin, ci iiiic In llic clas -rooni early. Two iiiiinites alter nine ami the in trucldr was nut there. The theiir of pri il)al)ihlies wa. that there wnehl he at least e)ne minute liefore his arriwal, and aceording tn the there )m of limits, he might ap- prriacli the limit 0.05. so that the diti ' erence after i).03 might he less than any assigneil i|iiantily, Ik wever small, and -et he wo uld not reaeh it. As the class were standing aroimd in grniips, discussing the unknown (|uantity, some one suggested that a lectme lie the method of procedure. In the next ,ste|:), the shades were ]iidled ilown, eliminating the light from the room. The doors were closed simultaneously and the audience seated themselves. The lecturer demon- strated some entirely new mathematical f. ' icts. such ;is had never been heard of before. At 0-O4 Professor Jones came and boldly o]iened the door. There was a substitution, followed by an elimination, for the indeterminate forms (leceive I him. Thinking his method (jf procedure to be wrong he thought that the next step would be to make himself an imaginary (piantit} ' and acted accordingly. The instructor ' s synthetic interpretation of the ] roblem caused the lecturer to roar with laughter. I ' .ursts of mirth increased throughout the room in geometrical progressions. In some instances special ste|is had to l)e taken to prevent the uproar being raised to too high a power, . fterwhile all became (|uiet and s ' m- bolic expressions of anxiet ' appeared on the faces of all; fi.ir I ' mfessor lones ' anger, after he had sohed the problem was as et an umletermined coefficient. Soon he reappeared and said : Please excuse me, but 1 must have this room for m - algebra recitation. It was l)e_ -ond the power of an - number of .students ti ) hoUl out an ' longer and everybod} ' roared, including i ' rofessor Jones himself. Well, I guess the method of procedure was all right, said he, laughing, and scratching the corner of his moustache with his little finger. He thought that the transformation of the i-oom was vevv good, b - wav of variation. CkjckI will on the jiart of the teacher was the reciprocal of his expected anger and the class continued their work in harmonical progressions. The joy of the lecturer and his audience was incommensurable at the outcome. Nevertheless they iliil not get another chance to continue their divergent series of lectures. This one benehted all, for in the history of the class a rational value for an exam is not an unknown (|uantit ' . luindreil and t« Destiny, or Cupid ?

Since that time many years have passed and ither . generations have occni)icd the heautiful old homes, which are known as the Ahiples. Wiien our storv o|.ens, Roliert Kiiii sley and I lenry Warner occupied the man- sions wliere there seemed to he perfect j.eace an.l lia].inness hetweeii the fanuhes, ( )ver the fields and ihrou.nh the houses the merr - voices and swift footsteps of h.appy children are heard; for hoth the friends are proud and hapiiy iiarents. Uohert Kin,i;-sle -, jr., is a hrii ht lad of twelve, rather lar e I ' or his year- . with dark hair and eves. lie forms (| nte a stnkm.L; contract to his (|uiet little ]ilay- mate. .Madeline Warner, who has larL e hlne eyes and -olden hair. .MtlDnt ii ? ladeline is four years Rohert ' s jmiior, she joins him in all his sports and lives the most of her happy life in the open air. r.ut the time soon came wdien the little playmates had to say o ' ooddjye. .Made- line ' s luother had died at her hirth and her father, wdio was never strong, died Avhen Madeline was twelve and Robert si.xteen. ( )n his dealhhed, Henry Warner left his oiilv chil.l to his sister, who had niarrie l late in life, John Hamilton, a very wealthv man. Mrs. Hamilton was now a widow and he loved the little goldeiihaired girl as if she were her own, hut she coiilil not remain in tlie South for her liome was in New Hampshire, where her hushaiid had gained hi wealth. So, one hright day in .May, three weeks after Mr. W ariier ' s death, .Madeline hade farewell to her old home and ])lavmate, and went with her aunt to her Xdrthern home. . t first, evervtliing seemeil strange, and Madeline was very l..nely, hut her nunt was verv kind to her and she soon became very happy in her new home. Meanwhile i ' lobert Kingsley grew to manhood and one day in September, a tall, well-built voung man. with shining black hair and an air about him that was i|uite Southern, apiieared among the ■■Freshies at Vale L ' niversity. During all these years of their separation he hail heard but little from ladeline, and now their correspondence had ceased. He did not even know where .she was. The next vear Madeline, who was now a beautiful girl of eighteen, went Page one hundred and twenty-tliree with her mini fur an extended tdiir of Europe. For three years the_ - travelled on the continent, .i oint;- to France, Italy, Germany and Switzerland, and then return- ing to England, where they spent a hap])y year. Madeline, with her bright face, beautiful golden hair and graceful carriage, attracted no little attention among the people whom she met. Many were the remarks made of her lieauty and charming voice; for Miss Warner was an accompli-shed musician. llo e ' er, Madeline lis- tened to all this daltery in silence. So, when one day her aunt suggested that they return to . meric;i, she eagerh ' expressed her willingness to go. Many times dur- ing her life in , ' ew I lampshire and while travelling, the young girl had thought of ner early p)laymale and had often W(jndered what had liecomc of the bright hand- .- :ime bov wdio had shared her earlv jovs and sorrows. Terhaps when she returned [O America she might, with the permission of her aunt, visit her old home and there hear of him. The weary tra ellers arrived in America earl} ' in June and went at once to their New Ilamjisliire home, where man_ friends awaited their homecoming. The following week, ha -ing received invitations to attend the Commencement Hall at ' ale. Airs. Ilamilton went with her neicc to that pleasant city in Connec- ticut where the streets were thronged with those who were still Io} ' al to the blue of their Alma Mater, jack Carrolton, the brother of one of Madeline ' s girl friends, would graduate this year, and Airs. Hamilton was t(.) chaperon the two girls at the Hall. , l the exercises of Commencement Day, the ladies occupied eats that commanded a clear ' iew (.if the graduates, and Madeline, gazing upcm the rows of young men before her, suddenly felt her heart beat faster as her eyes rested for a moment on the face of a handsome athlete, seated near Jack. Who could the stranger be, with that handsome face, and those honest, dark eyes? Where had she seen him Ijcfore? Then, banishing all thoughts of the stranger tor the time she turned her eyes to the speaker wh i had just arisen. Xor did she think again of the handsome stranger who had so suddenl)- apjieared before her. Wonderously beautiful Madeline looked that night in her dress of pale blue; the very sharle of her e_ -es, jack had laughingly told her, as he led her forth for the first dance. Wdio is that ) ' oung man who just passed us? asked Aladeline. I remember that he sat near you this morning. He, said jack, |)roudly, is my chum, Roljcrt Kingsley, captain of the foot- ball team, and one of the finest fellows I ha e e -er known. Madeline ' s checks flushed crimson, but Jack was too eager in his praises of Page one Imndred and twenty-four Bob to noticr licr. When, later in the evcnin.i;-. Maileh ' ne was intriMhicetl to the young man, slie showed no sit;ns of ever liavin - inel him l)efnre. As fur kol)ert, he (hcl not recoj nize his early playmate, she had ehan.i ed so mnch sinee he had seen her last. Then, too, he had lont - since for. ollen her in his ea, ;erness t(i pursue his studies. That ni,i;-ht, when the twi friends sought their room, I !oh asked his chum many (|uesti( ns alnint the _ ()nnt;- i irl who seemed to attract attention wher- ever she passed. When jack asked I ' .oh to coiue to his New 1 lampshire home with him for a few days, he willingh- consented to i n. About a week after their return, Mrs. Hamilton i ave a house part for her Rusband ' s neicc, Mabel llaiuiltou. who had come to spend July with her attractive aunt. Jack Carrolton, lio had taken f|uite a fancy to the (|uiet [,drl, invited the party to spend an afternoon and evening on his l)eautiful vacht, the ' esta. C)f course, Robert Kingsley was delighted to be with tlie beautiful Afadeliue again, and this trip on the water pleased him as much as it did the ' oung girl. Little did he dream of that happ_ - e ' ening that hv -onld spend all alone in her com|iau ' . How delightfid it was to sit and talk with this girl, who alread_ - held such a deep place in his heart, and how Ijright the moon was smiling down on the hapijy faces of those merry groups, scattered about the X ' esta ! ]b)w beautiful the shore looks over toward the west! exclaimed Afade- Hne. It reminds me so uuich of our old home along the Sa -annah. Robert threw a surprised and hap])y l(:iok at Madeline and she knew at once that she had given her secret a vay. For a few minutes neither spoke. ] Iaile- line Warner! 1die old home along the Savannah! . h. now he knew whv she had attracted him from the first. She was his earh ' pkniuate, the tirst girl that he had ever known, the one he had loveil above all others, ihu. wh - had she not told him all this before? vSurely she knew who he was, but U had she ke])t from him all the knowledge of her early life, especiall)- when he had told her of his on his first evening, which they had spent together ordy the week before. Suddenly the thought came to him. vShe loved him and had lo -ed him through all these years of his college life. ISut, oh! how he loved her now. How lovely she looked with the moonlight shining on her beautiful hair! Madeline was the first to break the silence. Ixobert was still thinking, but before the moon had passeil from liehind a dark cloud, he had told the l;)lushing girl beside him of his love and had asked her to be his. and she had consented to share her life with his, and live again in the home of her childhood. Page one lunl.lrcfl and twentv-fivc The next day Ruhert left fdr home, but when another year liad passed he returned to the North, where his happy bride was eagerly awaiting him. Then Madeline left her adopted home and went back to the pleasant old home wdiich seemed to her more delightful than ever, for Robert had made the Maples one of the finest old iKjmes in Cieorgia. Once more the pleasant old home of the Warner ' s is opened and Madeline is there to bring life and bai)|iiness about the old ])lace, while Roliert, happy with his l)eaiitiful bride, thinks often of the happy lays of long agi i when he had lived just across the lawn, and Madeline had been his jilaymate.
