a heart of oak. Xor must Johnny Graves, our beloved president, be omitted in this mention. Johnny whose winning ways and rosy cheeks play havoc with the hearts of ladies. Of him, I believe, it is related that, when returning late one night, as he gazed into the inky skies, he saw one of our brilliant Lexington electric lights, and was struck dumb with admiration, and gave utterance to that beau- tiful couplet, ' • Oh, my ! how pretty the moon looks, There were never so many before. R. H. Joyner, whose exceeding modesty causes the upper por- tion of his cranium to remain in one continual blush, is our pride at in-door athletics. His feats on the bar can be equalled only by those of some of our class at bars which are not parallel. Worthy also of honorable mention is R. W. Flournoy, whose artistic soul finds its sweet delight in delineating with inspired crayon his beau- tiful imaginings. To him belongs the honor of having produced that apt representation of the ancient fable, which in solitary loneli- ness adorns the Greek room. As regards looks none of us can com- pare with S. W. Frierson, from beneath whose dusky lashes, azure eyes emit their love-lit sparks which flit like lightning-bugs from maiden to maiden but find no permanent abiding place. Time fails me to call the entire roll of our illustrious, for there are among us orators whose silver eloquence will make future generations tingle with ecstatic pleasure ; musicians whose sympho- nies seem to be echoes from the grand celestial orchestra (though I did once hear some say they wished they were in H — ) ; philos- ophers whose fiery imaginations have scorched the seat of their reason ; poets, artists, scientists, etc., in fact there are those who will represent us in every calling in life. Some changes have taken place in the faculty since our advent ; the hands that guided our steps as beginners, are gone from us, and have left the completion of their work to other hands. Both have our heartfelt thanks for their kind and faithful guidance and help. Now but one year more remains before us. The goal is in view and we are on the verge of its attainment. Then let every one put forth his best efiforts, and, with undiminished ranks, let the Class of 1900 march forth with flying colors to daub life-sized portraits on the pages of history. S. B. McP. 24
