AL]MA    MATEE— MILLSAPS. 


('Air  "My   Bonnie.") 
I.  All  over  the  land  of  the  cotton. 

And  down  where  the  magnolias  stand, 
The    fame   of   our   dear  alma  mater 
Is    ringing-   far  over  the  land. 

Millsaps,  Millsaps, 
Millsaps   College  for  me,  for  me. 

Millsaps,  Millsaps, 
Millsaps   College   for  me. 

Her   halls   where   our  memories  linger, 
The  friendships  there  made  long  ago. 

The  purple  and  whit?  of  her  banner. 
Are   cherisnea  wherever  we  go. 

3.  And  when  in  the  years  vi  the  future, 
Fond  memory  turns  to  the  past, 
The  days  that  we  spent  at  old  Millsaps, 
Will  vet  be  the  brightest  at  last.

SENIOES. 


Calvin  Crawford  AppLi;\\'inTi-; W'iiioiui,  Miss. 

"The  li'orld  knoK's  nothing  of  its  i;rsat<'st  men." 

He  walks  over  the  campus  in  an  air  of  supreme  importance, 
and  seems  to  expect  all  lower  classmen  to  gxcet  him  as  a  man  of 
great  authority.  Thinks  he  has  the  Faculty  fooled.  Tries  to  im- 
press upon  all,  who  do  not  know  better,  that  he  is  a  great  ladies' 
man.  Feels  that  he  has  few  equals  and  no  superiors.  Thinks  him- 
self smart  and  good-looking.  Especially  fond  of  Mathematics  and 
Latin.  Oakley  Scholarship  Prize,  1905 ;  Assistant  in  Latin  and

"/  never  felt  the  hiss  of  Io7'e.  nor  nuiiden's  Iiand  in  mine." 

"Fatty."  He  is  a  man  of  might  but  not  of  muscle.  Debating 
is  his  hobby,  but  he  lacks  the  ability  to  luokl  his  thoughts  into  words. 
He  has  some  of  the  characteristics  of  an  owl,  in  that  his  head  is 
his  most  prominent  possession,  and  in  that  he  stays  awake  at  night 
and  takes  his  naps  during  the  day — never  was  there  such  an  old 
head  on  such  a  slender  body.  Club  Editor  Bojiasiiela,  1905-06;

"Jim."  Does  stunts  in  Jackson  Sucietx'.  From  lus  mocking- 
bird month  and  legs  one  would  think  him  a  proficient  musician, 
but  lack  of  energy  and  indifference  buried  iiis  talent.  Always  pres- 
ent when  most  vmdesiralilc  and  absent  when  most  needed.  To  hear 
him  talk  one  would  think  that  those  who  escaped  his  incendiary 
threats  would  indeed  be  fortunate,  but  careful  investigation  reveals 
the  fact  that  the  object  of  his  anger  is  nofj  unsafe.  His  impressive 
"Let  me  see  you  a  moment"  always  reminds  spectators  that  nothing-

"Deep  versed  in  books  and  shalloie  in  liiinself." 

"Jim  Hob."  The  brightest  man  in  the  class  by  name.  Has  a 
weakness  for  using  big  words.  Tries  to  be  -'ery  dignified  since  he 
has  become  a  Senior.  Knows  well  the  royil  road  over  the  uneven 
ways  of  the  classics,  makes  borrowed  sermons  a  specialty.  Thinks 
he  will  need  a  work,  the  first  year,  with  a  parsonage  on  it.  His 
oratory  is  ])leasing  to  himself  alone.  \'ice-President  V.  AT.  C.  A.,

Harvey  Hasty  Bullock Illoutcrcy,  Miss. 

"A-L^'kicard,  ciiibarrasscd,  stiff,  i^'itlioiit  skill 
Of  moving  i^niccfiilly   or  staiidiiii^  still." 

He  is  consciously  dignified.  Conceals  under  a  gruff,  brusque 
manner  a  sympathetic  nature  and  serio-comic  propensities.  Favor- 
ite expression,  "By  Gummies!"  Shy  and  timid  when  around  the 
ladies.  To  bother  others  and  to  Inmi  seems  to  be  the  height  of  his 
ambition.  Aspires  to  be  a  college  professor.  He  is  in  love  but 
tries  to  conceal  it.  A  diligent  student,  and  some  say  he  is  smart.  Is 
welt  versed  in  "Bluffology."  Biology  Instructor;  Treasurer,  1906-

Landon  Ki.MBROUCH  C.\RLTON Scirdis.  Miss. 

"God  mode  him,  therefore  let  him  pass  [or  a  man." 

"John" ;  "Cap."  Aspires  to  be  a  great  statesrjian.  Is  an  ideal 
business  man,  and  has  won  distinction  as  business  manager  of  Bo- 
BASHELA  (  ?).  His  natural  expression  is  a  weird  grin.  Has  gotten  a 
great  deal  of  training  from  his  college  course,  but  has  made  the 
fatal  mistake  of  falling  in  love  with  a  co-ed.  Is  shy  and  has  noth-

will  be  bald  ere  he  can  procure  for  himself  a  better  half.  Bearing 
a  sanctimonious  dignity,  he  moves  among  his  fellow  students.  He

"Red"  is  a  great  politician,  but  doesn't  think  anybody  knows

plenty  of  "weed"  and  a  stack  of  law  books  he  would  do  honor  to

whither  they  go.  So  forgetful  that  he  sometimes  forgets  his  own

SENIOI?     CLASS     HISTORY 


Now  It  came  Vj  pass  in  those  days 
as  the  time  drew  near  when  Naughty 
Seven  shculd  receive  the  name  of  Sen- 
iors that  the  instructors  of  the  Colleg'e 
Cjuestionecl  one  another  sa^'ing",  "Is  it 
right  to  detain  these  students  another 
year,  seeing  that  as  Juniors  they  had 
greater  wisdom  than  aU  the  Seniois  wh.o 
before  tlieir  time  departed  from  tiiese 
walls?"  ,\nd  they  .vere  greatly  per- 
plexed and  sorely  troubled. 

Hut  Naughty  Seven,  when  they  li.'ard 
how  the  instructors  debated  among  ■them- 
selves, sent  word  and  said  unto  tlieni. 
"Cease  from  troubling,  neither  be  any 
longer  peri)lexed,  but  even  as  the  rest 
have  done,  likewise  permit  us  to  continue 
our  course  through  Seniordom  so  that 
the  heathen  Junior  and  Prep,  seeing  our 
greatness,  may  be  persuaded  to  follow 
in  our  steps,  and  in  this  manner  increase 
the  glory  of  the  College." 

And  when  they  heard  this  tli?  in- 
structors were  exceeding  glad  and  de- 
bated among  themselves  no  more  ,vhat 
they  should  do  but  even  as  the  members 
of  Naughtv  vSe\-en  admonished,  that  ;he\- 
did. 

Now  in  that  year  it  came  to  pass  that 
a  great  hue  and  cry  was  raised  at  ^ilill- 
saps  over  foot-ball,  and  a  decree  went 
forth  that  all  the  College  should  play, 
both  Preps  and  Freshmen,  Sophomores 
and  Juniors,  and  likewise  the  lortlly 
Seniors. 

Now  when  the  news  of  this  decree 
reached  the  camp  of  the  Juniors  tnere 
was  great  rejoicing,  for  thev  were  man\- 
in  numlier,  and  in  stature  they  were  like 
Goliath.  likewise  the  Preps  and  Fresh- 
men rejoiced  with  an  exceeding  great 
joy,  for  they  had  many  and  strong  men. 


1-lut  when  the  Seniors  heard  it  they 
were  sad,  for  they  were  scholars  and 
thought  not  of  rough  games  ;  also  they 
were  few  in  number  and  frDUi  much 
study  had  waxed  feeble  in  -trength. 
Nevertheless  they  took  counsel  among 
themselves  and  conversing  one  with  an- 
other, said,  "In  great  thnigs  we  have 
reaped  success,  in  fool-ball  we  will  not 
fail  utterly  " 

And  straightway  they  semi  a  mes- 
senger unto  the  manager  of  athle'ics, 
sa\-ing:  "Place  the  Seniors  also  on  your 
schedule  of  games,  for  we  too  will  jilay 
foot-ball,  and  we  will  eat  nothing,  neith- 
er will  we  drink  nor  sleep  until  the  cliam- 
pionship  cup  be  safe  in  our  co-ed's 
keeiiing." 

I'.nt  when  the  Juniors  heard  this  they 
laughed  and  said.  "It  is  a  joke.'' 

Now  it  happened  that  the  Seniors  met 
fit  St  upon  the  gridiron  the  Sopnoinores 
and  overcame  them  aiul  sent  them  in 
shame  back  to  their  comrades.  I'ut  the 
Juniors  ?nd  Preps  'vvho  beheld  the  game 
mocked  the  Seniors  and  said.  "It  is  noth- 
ing, the  Sophomores  also  are  \veakl;ngs, 
and  bv  chance  were  they  overthrown  hy 
weaklings." 

liiit  it  came  to  pass  that  when  the 
Seniors  encountered  the  I'reps  and  put 
them  to  shame  even  as  they  iiad  done 
the  Sophomores,  there  was  mucii  sui prise 
for  the  Preps  were  a  people  skided  in 
foot-ball,  and  their  fame  had  been  noised 
abroad  throughout  the  land,  and  the  peo- 
]ile  marveled  at  it,  saying,  "These  Sen- 
iors play  like  professionals  and  not  like 
lucn  unaccustomed  to  the  game." 

Now  as  the  day  drew  nigh  when  the 
Juniors  were  to  pla}-  the  Seniors,  the 
Junior  Captain,  about  the  eighth  or  ninth 


41 


hour  ul  the  evening,  sayeth  to  his  fa- 
ther, "J  have  a  hard  Greek  lesson.  1 
go  to  read  it  with  a  classmate."  And 
straightway  he  goeth  to  the  room  of  Rog- 
ers, the  Psychologist  ( the  same  was  the 
Senior  left  end),  and  seeks  to  frighten 
him  saymg,  "You  Seniors  olay  foot-ball 
but  poorly.  It  was  luck  that  you  beat 
the  Preps,  the  Juniors  will  treat  you  oad- 
ly.  Think  you  that  the  Senior  ends  can 
contend  with  Adams  and  Kirkland ;  1 
also  am  a  great  player  and  it  grieves  me 
to  consider  how  you  will  fare  wlien  in 
the  heat  of  the  game  1  strike  you."  And 
straightway  upon  ending  his  speech  he 
givetii  the  horse  laugh. 

But  it  came  to  pass  that  as  the  Jun- 
ior Captain  maketh  this  speech  there  com- 
eth  into  the  room  John,  the  Senior  cen- 
ter, whose  surname  is  Weems,  and  he 
being  a  good  spokesman  answered  and 
said,  "Cease  your  vain  boasting,  have 
you  not  read  that  'much  prme  goeth  be- 
fore a  fair?  Think  you  that  Terrell  and 
jNeill  will  sleep  while  your  heavy  men 
are  striking  our  ends?  Saw  you  not  how 
Berry  and  Loch  bore  themselves  against 
the  Preps?'  And  though  I  be  a  modest 
man  and  am  accustomed  to  do  great 
deeds  rather  than  to  boast  of  them,  yet 
verily  I  say  unto  you  1  am  no  babv  and 
in  to-morrow's  game  I  will  butt  your  cen- 
ter so  high  that  the  birds  of  the  air  will 
nest  on  his  carcass  before  he  return  to 
solid  ground,  and  if  after  that  he  sliall 
strive  to  hinder  my  passage  througn  your 
line  I  will  toss  him  so  high  that  the 
earth's  gravitation  will  cease  to  attract 
him  and  he  shall  become  a  heavenly  body 
and  revolve  around  the  sun.  even  as  the 
astronomers  write  is  the  case  with 
meteors." 

Now  at  this  saying  the  Junior  wa;^ 
greatly  astonished,  for  being  a  Junior  he 
was  ignorant  and  knew  naught  of  the 
teachings    of    Astronomy    and    tirerefore 


imderstood  not  how  this  thing  could 
happen.  And  he  departed  from  theru  and 
went  forth  into  the  black  and  dark  jiight 
still  marvelling  at  the  Senior's  words. 

And  it  came  to  pass  that  on  tne  fol- 
lowing day  when  the  Seniors  gathered 
together  to  play  the  Juniors  the  Jmiiors 
boasted  greatly  and  sought  to  guy  tiiem 
and  wagged  their  heads  at  them  saying, 
"If  the  Seniors'  voices  be  like  their  legs 
they  should  sing  well,  for  the}'  nave  legs 
like  mocking  birds." 

But  when  the  game  began  the  Jmiiors 
were  not  able  to  stand  before  the  Sen- 
iors, but  they  were  driven  back  even  as 
the  chaff  before  the  whirlwind;  they  were 
defeated  utterly,  and  great  was  their 
shame,  so  that  they  became  a  shaking 
of  the  head  and  a  byword  to  all  the  Col- 
lege. And  after  that  day  when  a  Junior 
meeteth  a  Senior  on  the  campus  he  pull- 
eth  his  hat  over  his  eyes  and  shunneth 
him. 

Now  it  came  to  pass  that  when  the 
Seniors  again  played  the  Juniors  the 
Juniors  had  rested  a  long  while  but  the 
Seniors  were  bruised  and  weary  from 
much  playing  neither  did  they  try  very 
hard,  so  that  on  this  day  they  did  not 
prevail  against  the  Juniors. 

I'ut  when  the  season  endeth  and  ex- 
aminations draw  nigh  the  manager  of 
Athletics  reckoneth  the  percentage  of 
the  teams  and  lo !  the  Seniors  have  won. 
So  he  inviteth  a.  great  preacher  to  come 
from  town  to  the  morning  chapel,  and 
the  preacher  came  and  said  many  and 
wise  things,  both  to  the  Seniors  and  to 
the  (ithers  and  with  honeyed  words  he 
delivered  the  cup  to  the  Senior  co-ed. 

And  great  joy  prevailed  among  the 
Seniors,  and  that  night  their  co-ed  gave 
a  great  feast  and  invited  them  and  they 
all  went  and  did  cat  and  drink  and  were 
merry.

"O  force  unseen  but  not  unfelt. 

How  dare  you  now  these  words  relate, 
And  why,  O  Muse,  when  we  go  out 
Shall  we  be  forced  to  meet  this  faie  ?'' 


Calvin  Applewhite,  the  first  by  name, 
shall  never  fill  this  high  estate  amid  those 
with  whom  he  comes  in  contact.  We 
see  him  as  he  graduates  with  honor  from 
his  chosen  medical  institution,  and  all 
seems  to  indicate  for  him  a  brilliant  fu- 
ture. Lo  !  but  Calvin  finds,  as  many  other 
men  have  done,  a  vast  diflference  between 
the  theoretical  and  the  practical.  His 
youthful  ambitions  fail  him,  and  we  rind 
hmT  content  with  the  routine  work  of  a 
lonely  country  practice.  Day  and  night 
he  answers  !iis  official  calls,  disappointed 
i'l  the  fact  that  in  none  of  tli«m  is  he 
abit  to  put  forth  those  theories  wnich  he 
has  in  .store.  He  finds  his  life'  a  burden 
and  his  professional  duties  a  never-end- 
infi  experiment.  He  does  not  hesitate 
to  prescribe  but  never  knows  the  disease. 

Perhaps  all  of  us  have  been  wonder- 
ing; what  shall  become  of  "Fatty"  Buck- 
strom.  "Fatty"  hails  from  the  pmey 
woods  and  back  to  the  piney  woods  he 
must  go.  He  often  dreams  that  he  shall 
make  a  great  lawyer  and  win  distinction 
in  the  jiolitical  life.  Personally  we  thmk 
him  worthy  of  greatness,  but  somehow 
he  utterly  fails  to  impress  upon  the  pub- 
lic his  importance.  The  only  case  which 
he  successfully  presents  to  a  jury  duiing 
bis  whole  professional  career  is  the  one 
in  which  he  sues  fci  a  divorce  from  tiie 
woman  he  has  married.  This  case,  )iow- 
evcr,  was  not  decided  on  law  and  cvi- 


tknce,  but  rather  on  the  general  appear- 
ance of  the  victim.  In  disappointment 
we  find  him,  an  old  man,  recurnmg  to 
his  native  haunts  where  he  is  allowed  to 
develop  the  much-needed  physical  nian, 
mourning  the  fact  that  few  men  leceive 
tiieir  just  reward  in  this  life. 

As  we  dip  into  the  future  anJ  con- 
template the  real  in  the  life  of  Jim  Eerry, 
we  must  say  that  he  shall  be  successful 
ii  dollars  and  cents  can  be  a  measure  of 
success.  Jim  has  ever  been  endowed 
with,  wonderful  business  qualities.  This 
natural  tact  leads  him  into  the  coninier- 
cir!  life.  From  a  small  beginning  he 
early  climbs  to  the  top.  He  easily  solves 
the  problems  of  modern  commercialism, 
aiul  even  finds  an  entrance  into  the  world 
of  "high  finance."  In  his  old  age,  with 
his  millions  about  him.  he  throws  aside 
his  complex  business  thoughts,  and  la- 
n.ents  the  fact  that  he  has  taken  buch  a 
narrow  view  of  life.  He  has  figured  in 
dollars  and  cents,  he  has  thought  in  dol- 
lars and  cents,  his  life  can  only  be  ex- 
pressed in  dollars  and  cents — a  money 
ni;icliine.  He  passes  from  us  with  tlie 
tl'.ought  that  what  a  man  does  is  but 
the  expression  of  what  he  is. 

We  find  Bright  in  after  years  still 
possessed  with  the  power  to  reason  witli- 
oui  a  follower,  neither  has  he  lost  the 
unliendable  dignity  which  is  so  charac- 
teristic of  the   man.     He   is   faithful   to 


43 


lii^  chosen  profession  and  devotes  his  life 
to  the  ministry,  lint  unfortunately  he 
dees  not  learn  that  the  greatest  life  is 
the  siin])lest  life,  that  the  greatest  ser- 
mon is  the  simplest  sermcm.  His  foun- 
tain of  big  words  never  fails  to  flow. 
His  complexity  is  too  great  for  his  au- 
dience, and  they  go  from  him  wonder- 
ing and  guessing  if  this  man  does  not 
live  out  of  his  proper  age,  but  they  aie 
content  with  the  lessons  of  earnestne.>s 
and  profundity  which  he  so  deeply  im- 
presses. 

Bullock  has  displayed  wonderful  pow- 
ers for  accjuiring  and  retaining  know  i- 
edge.  He  enters  the  fields  of  activity  tu 
which  he  so  earnestly  aspired  and  is  con- 
tent to  be  called  a  teacher.  If  knowl- 
edge of  the  subject  was  the  only  iv- 
cjuirement  he  shall  be  eminently  success- 
ful If  all  lessons  could  be  learned  by 
al'sorption  we  might  well  envy  tho.-,e 
entrusted  to  his  care.  But  him,  too.  we 
find  deficient.  He  fails  to  impart  what 
he  knows.  He  is  not  able  to  give  ex- 
pression to  those  great  truths  that  h'.' 
has  in  store.  Doomed  with  the  law  that. 
"A  thought  unexpressed  is  a  thougiu 
that  shall  die,"  he  retires  from  this  fiei'. 
to  spend  his  life  alone,  enjoying  himself 
all  by  himself  in  his  own  original  way. 

"Johnnie"  Carlton  is  slow  to  take  on 
manhood.  With  a  boyish  look  and  a  boy- 
ish, nature  he  passes  through  this  life,  all 
along  this  arduous  way  he  tries  to  assume 
a  manlv  bearing.  He  was  old  enough  to 
be  a  Senior,  but  somehow  he  could  not 
look  like  one.  His  preppy  ways  fail  to 
indicate  that  he  belonged  to  the  SeniC'- 
state.  During  life  he  tries  many  projects 
but  in  none  of  them  does  he  attain  ary 
marked  success.  He  gives  us  an  exam- 
ple of  an  innocent  failure  and  teaches 
us  the  lesson  that  one  need  not  hope  to 
develop  into  what  he  not  by  nature. 

We  follow  "Jack"  Frost  as  he  contin- 
uall}'  ].)ractices  those  habits  which  n..' 
formed  in  College.  For  six  years  an  act- 
ive member  of  the  "Buttinsky"  Club,  he 


proves  its  most  loyal  promoter,  and  even 
ti;es  to  impress  upon  the  world  the  im- 
portance of  its  principles.  He  later  ue- 
comes  a  composer  and  wins  distinction 
as  a  vocalist.  His  masterpiece,  "But- 
tinsky,"  gives  to  the  world  in  an  attract- 
ive form  the  great  principles  for  wdiich 
he  lives.  This  piece  he  gladly  renders 
at  every  opportunity  granted  him.  His 
wide-spread  rendering  of  his  cherished 
product,  soon  awikes  the  world  to  knov/ 
that  as  time  flies  changes  come,  and  that 
to  "fnitt  in"  is  better  than  to  be  prim 
and  formal. 

We  now  turn  to  the  member  of  our 
class  who  never  decides  things.  He 
lea\-es  College  well  equipoed,  but  instead 
o'  entering  direcily  some  special  line  of 
work,  we  find  him  weighing  the  several 
vocatious  in  his  fruitless  attempt  to  de- 
cide to  which  one  he  shall  give  his  tal- 
ents. He  teaches  school — perhaps  as  a 
stepping-stone  to  something  higher,  or 
more  likely  that  he  may  have  time  for 
further  thoughts  upon  his  life  work.  He 
becomes  a  journalist  but  is  slill  unde- 
cided and  devotes  his  last  and  only 
thoughtful  days  to  the  writing  of  a  booic 
which  is  but  the  expression  of  his  life 
This  is  entitled  "Indecision"  and  dedi- 
cated to  the  class  of  1907  over  thiT  sig- 
nature of  John  W.  Loch. 

James  A.  McKee,  M.A.,  B.A.,  Miil- 
sapr.  College.  If  the  number  of  degree-j 
and  the  length  of  time  spent  at  College 
count  for  anything  he  will  easily  outstrip 
all  the  other  members  of  his  class.  They 
call  him  "parson,"  but  he  will  never  need 
a  parsonage.  He  is  a  hard  student,  but 
never  learns  the  art  of  study.  His  ser- 
mons are  dry  and  uninteresting  and 
prove  a  welcome  cure  for  insomnia.  He 
never  reaches  the  main  point  because  of 
his  lengthy  discussions  of  details.  He 
will  never  be  great  because  he  is  better 
fitted  for  the  smaller  things  of  life.  He 
never  tells  her  that  he  loves  her  because 
he  is  busy  mapping  out  his  minor  feel- 
ings.

Old  -Red"  Neill's  girlish  giggle  shall 
never  fail  him.  Jolly  and  good-natured, 
with  just  enough  seriousness  to  over- 
balance his  clumsy  carelessness,  ne 
spends  many  years  just  on  the  inside  of 
the  ragged  edge.  Careless  about  his  pro  ■ 
fession  he  does  nothing  for  many  yeais. 
At  last  he  awakes  to  the  fact  that  he  is 
destined  to  be  a  physician.  He  at  once 
sets  about  to  regain  lost  time,  when  old 
Dame  Carelessness  steps  in  and  offers 
him  a  poor  pair  of  pill-bags  and  a  dozen 
doses  of  drugs,  tmd  thus  equipped  he 
goes  forth  giving  calomel  for  ston; 
bruises  and  epsom  salts  for  earache. 
Carelessness  comes  and  cuts  the  cord  ana 
cures  "Red"  of  callous  cares. 

Sam  Osborne  is  stubby  in  lonn  and 
stubby  by  nature.  The  very  essence  of 
indifterence.  Ide  has  many  opportunities 
to  render  himself  useful,  but  to  none  of 
them  does  he  attach  importance.  \\  hat 
little  he  accomplishes  is  accomplished 
mere  by  friendly  chance  than  by  per- 
sonal efforts.  For  many  years  he  leads 
this  easy,  indifferent  life,  never  exerting 
himself  to  grasp  a  proposition  or  take 
advantage  of  an  opportunity,  lie  is 
forced  to  Ijecome  a  store-keeper,  but  for 
lack  of  effort  is  never  equal  to  the  great- 
est problems  of  modern  commercialism. 
He  never  wins  favor  with  the  girls  bo- 
cause  his  time  is  spent  in  admiring  him- 
self. 

The  world  is  h.ard  on  Pierce.  Uncle 
Sam  does  not  love  him  because  ne  has 
deserted  his  place  of  birth.  England 
fails  to  honor  his  citizenship  Because  he 
was  born  under  the  Stars  and  Stripes. 
Honduras  does  not  know  him  as  a  cit- 
izen, but  grants  him  the  privilege  to 
plant  cocoanuts  and  har^'est  bananas. 
"A  man  without  a  country,"  he  sets  o:;t 
in  his  efforts  to  realize  the  fulfillment  of 
his  college  dreams.  A  world  empire  is 
foimed  with  Pierce  as  emperor.  Onc-^ 
the  world  was  hard  on  him,  but  now 
the  tide  has  changed  and  the  world 
must  do  him  homage. 

With  few  firmly-fixed  feelings,  ]\Iii-: 


Ridgeway  finds  a  focus  for  her  funny 
phase  of  life  in  hei  foolish  fancy.  She 
fjmcies  first  of  all  that  furrows  formed 
b_\  farmers  and  the  further  toils  which 
f<j!lo\v  shall  fail  to  feed  her  funny  na- 
ture. Ui  course  she  fails  to  find  iicr  iv- 
ture  husband  in  the  faithful  farmer  boy. 
She  further  fancies  that  the  fullesc  field 
for  her  and  those  fitful  forces  which  so 
fully  fill  her  nature  may  be  found  m 
field  of  fiction.  Five  and  fifty  years  she 
labors,  forming  plots  and  framing  pict- 
ures. Failing  fully  fame  to  find  amid 
her  former  fancies,  she  finally  fancies 
that  she  will  spend  her  future  days  lu 
an  effort  to  find  the  fame  and  fortune 
of  the  one  and  fifteen  members  of  her 
faithful  class.  She  only  found  the  former 
farmer. 

Rogers  thinks  he  is  destined  to  be 
a  banker.  Often  has  he  dreameil  of  the 
time  when  he  should  be  honored  wilii 
the  presidency  of  one  of  those  great 
financial  institutions.  Idis  ambitions  run 
av>ay  from  his  powers.  He  could  fly 
to  a  star  as  easily  as  he  could  make  a 
success  of  banking.  Finally  convinced 
that  he  has  been  a  failure  as  a  banker 
he  begins  the  life  for  whicii  !ie  is  best 
suited,  and  reaps  many  noble  harvests 
from  his  faithful  cultivation  of  the  soii. 

Grover  Terrell  is  the  next.  \\"e  re- 
g;et  to  make  reference  to  him.  Pie  pic- 
serts  to  us  that  type  of  man  who  gives 
general  disappointment.  Millsaps  was 
hesitant  to  receive  him  and  most  sadlv 
disappointed  did  she  turn  him  out  to 
disappoint  the  world.  He  is  one  of  pro- 
portion somewhere  but  defies  mankind 
tc  find  where  it  is.  He  disappoints  his 
friends  when  he  tells  them  of  wonder- 
ful chemical  discoveries  that  he  is  going 
to  make,  and  proceeds  to  singe  his  eye- 
brows in  his  attempt  to  see  if  gunpowder 
will  support  combustion.  He  spends 
many,  many  years  in  those  scientific  in- 
vestigations and  finally  blesses  the  world 
bv  discovering  the  chemical  properties  of 
KiS2. 

From   the  class  of    1907   goes    forth 


45 


one  of  Falstaffian  proportions,  to  whom 
none  of  the  things  that  he  learned  in 
College  sticks  except  his  winning  ways, 
his  charming  chat,  his  jolly  jokes  and 
flabby  fat.  He  goes  to  a  little  country 
town  ten  miles  from  any  railroad,  where 
he  can  always  be  found  when  new  light 
is  wanted  on  some  base-ball  subject.  He 
has  more  money  and  less  brass  than  any 
man  in  his  class.  Out  in  that  little  town 
of  the  wilderness,  he  is  content  to  spend 
h's  long  life  tickling  the  fancy  of  all  who 
know  him,  by  his  cheerful  chuckle  when 
he  drops  his  chubby  chin.  John  Weems 
will  be  surprised  when  the  only  girl  he 
ever  loved  awakes  him  to  the  lolly  of 
matrimony  and  to  the  fate  of  a  bachelor. 
Why  "Old  Blaze"  Williams  worked 


so  hard  on  his  man  speeches  will  never 
cease  to  be  a  wonder  to  those  with  whom 
lie  i^•  acquainted.  Wirt  wanted  to  become 
a  lawyer,  and  became  bald-headed  in  the 
attempt  to  equip  himself  for  this  profes- 
sion. He  finds  that  his  love  for  the  coun- 
try and  the  attractions  of  farm  life  are 
too  strong  for  him  to  resist.  He  seems 
to  enjoy  farming,  but  his  impractical 
methods  are  the  source  of  much  laughter 
among  his  jolly  neighbors.  In  a  scien- 
tific attempt  to  revolutionize  the  art  of 
imile  shearing,  he  was  unconsciously 
hurled  into  oblivion  by  the  more  scientific 
manner  in  which  "Old  Maud"  had  learn- 
ed to  use  her  only  weapon  of  defense.

A    RETROSPECT. 


We  've  been   at   College   now  some  time,  for  sure. 

We  know  the  ins  and  outs  of  College  life, 

Its  ups  and  downs,  its  joys  and  pleasures,  too, 

Because  we  've  been  at  scho(;)l  for  quite  a  while. 

We  came  here  strangers,  timid,  rough,  unknown — 

Mere  boys  who  ne"er  had  wise  nor  earnest  thought 

Nor  spoke  except  to  say  some  foolish  word. 

The  folks,  who  saw  those  boys  four  years  ago, 

Who   laughed   because    their  pants  were  too  short — 

In   other   words,   because   of  city  dress 

And  city  manners  knew  they  naught  at  all. 

Also  because  there  were  a  score  or  more 

Of   things   that   modern   city  folks  do  use 

Of  which  they  had  not  even  heard  before — 

Those   folks,   I  say,  thought  not  what  dormant  strength 

There  lay  behind  that  stupid  stare,  unwaked. 

They   little   thought   the   campus  e'er  would  mourn 

Because  their  faces  were  not  seen  again ; 

That  they  would  bring  old  Millsaps  fame  and  honor, 

,\nd  to  the  college  heart  endear  themselves. 


But  of  all  that  we  've  done  and  more  besides. 

We   will   not  tell  you   all — 'twould  take  too  long — 

'Bout  how  the  laundry  wagim  we  did  paint 

One  night,  and  take  doc's  buggy  all  apart. 

If  you  but  knew   the   record  black  of  deeds 

We  've  done  I  think  you  'd  say  that  we  were  bad. 

We  're  not,  for  know  the  saw,  "Boys  will  be  boys." 

I  bet  you   would   do  as  bad  or  worse  than  we 

If  you  but  had  the  chance  or  were  not  'fraid. 

Now  listen !     We  have  fooled  the  Profs  or  else 

They  are  good  actors,  for  they  say  this  class 

Of  all  is  best  and  seem  to  speak  the  truth. 

They  think  they  know  us  boys,  alas  !  poor  dears. 

We  can  but  love  them  though.     We  've  found  them  men 


47 


Both  ^ood  ami  true,   net   oyres  as  first  we  thought; 

We  were  afraid  of  them  when  we  were  "new." 

But  that  's  all  past  and   gone ;  we  worried  them ; 

\\'e  ragged  them  too.  then  busted  on  top  of  that ! 

We  got  our  share  of  honors,  perhaps  you  know. 

We   care   no   longer   sucu    small  things  to  seek, 

We  go  in  now  for  only  great  big  things. 

For,  don't  you  know,  our  learning  we  have  got. 

Enough   of  grits   and    gravy,  so-called  steak 

And  other  stuffs  alike,  we  say,  we  've  had. 

We  bid  adieu  to  base-Mil  field,  to  gym, 

To  nearly  every  sport  we  here  have  played. 

Of   foot-ball    games    pciiiaps  we've  won  our  last — 

Because  we  've  got  our  education  now. 


But  may  we  cherish  jtill  the  meni'ries  dear 

Of  college  life,  of  pranks,  of  fears  and  scrapes 

And  jokes  which  added  zest  to  our  careers, 

And   often   may   we   meet  in  these  old  haunts. 

Nor  may  our  faces  ever  strange  become 

To  those  that  saw  and  knew  us  here  in  school. 

But  we  are  through,  and,  since  we  needs  must  go. 

To  others  leave  we  all  our  dog-eared  books. 

We  hope  some  help  to  them  wall  be  those  lines 

We  interspersed  adown  their  thumb-marked  leaves — 

They  represent  hard  hours  of  toil  by  us. 

Others  may  whittle  upon  our  old  boards 

And  chew  on  our  old  cow,  take  our  zeros. 

Oh  dear!  I  wonder  if  they  11  take  our  girls? 

May  they   with  pleasure   walk  or  ride  along 

Until  at  last  they  too.  ITke  us,  can  say. 

"We  're   done  with  Alath  and  Greek,  with  Latin  too. 

The  sciences  those  we  "ve  tried.     The  weary  way 

Along  a  stale  old  college  course  we  've  trod."

In  SL'i)tcinber,  1904,  th^M'e  appeared 
on  th(  campus  a  band  ot  aspirmg  youths, 
unknown  to  the  outside  as  well  as  to  the 
College  world  and  to  each  other,  ;ixty- 
six  ir.  number,  "verdant"  yet  "all  on 
stuciy  bent."  While  the  college  men  were 
joyously  greeting  each  other  with  hearty 
grips  these  homesick  individuals  found 
themselves  objects  of  curious  scrutiny. 
It  was  indeed  "with  fear  and  trembling" 
that  they  passed  through  t.ie  horrors  of 
entrance  examinations.  'I  hey  gazed  in 
awe  upon  the  august  faces  now  grown 
so  familiar. 

Their  fear  was  to  a  great  degree  re- 
moved after  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  reception, 
where  they  became  acquainted  with  their 
college  mates.  Thev  found  that  'here 
were  "Preps"  actuallv  lower  than  tliey, 
and  were  thrilled  with  an  inexpressible 
sensation  of  joy  when  they  were  first 
caliec'  "College  men."  This  was  the 
beginning  of  the  Class  of  1908.  Our 
name:  were  placed  upon  the  rolls  of  all 
the  various  college  organizations,  and 
\v;  took  active  part  in  all  the  different 
phases  of  college  life.  We  were  equally 
diligent  whether  on  the  athletic  fifld  or 
tre;iding  on  foot  (or  riding?)  over  the 
rocky  ways  of  Cicero  and  Xenophon,  or 
responding  in  "Alalh"  to  the  call:  "The 
following  will  please  go  to  the  b^)ar(l." 
We  really  made  a  bright  record  in  that 
first  year  that  now  seems  so  long,  long 
ago.^ 

When  we  returned  as  "Sophs,"  al- 
thorigh  some  had  dropped  out  and  we 
had  lost  our  only  "co-ed"  We  were  not 
devoid  of  class  spirit,  Init  felt  almo.^t 
equal  to  the  Seniors.  I  lowever,  when 
we  began  to  battle  with  sines  anil  cosines 


and  when  we  heard  the  answer:  "fhat  '& 
very,  very  bad,"  as  the  Latin  professor 
reached  for  his  grade  book,  we  began 
to  realize  that  we  were  not  altogether 
sages,  but  still  had  something  to  iearn. 
As  for  oratory,  one  would  think  that 
Demosthenes  had  been  resurrected  if  he 
chanced  to  listen  to  the  stream  of  Soph- 
omcric  eloquence  as  it  poured  -forth  in 
licuntiful  profusion  in  June,  1900.  Sure- 
1\-  there  are  great  statesmen,  yea,  tven. 
I'residents  in  embryo  for  future  gener- 
ation among  the  members  of  ihis  noble 
Class. 

September,  "oC,  witnessed  the  entry  of 
thj  Class  of  1908  upon  an  era  of  almost' 
unprecedented  (  ?)  success.  Although 
our  number  is  not  more  than  iialf  what 
it  v.'as  just  two  years  ago,  those  of  us 
who  remain  are  proud  of  our  Class  and 
have  high  ideals  for  it.  We  indeed  count 
ourselves  fortunate  to  be  honored  with 
the  membership  of  a  "co-ed"  once  more. 
The  present  finds  Juniors  at  the  head 
in  almost  every  department — as  Literary 
Society  presidents  and  anniversarians, 
Commencement  debaters.  President  of 
Athletic  Association  and  officers  and 
teachers  of  Y.  M.  C.  A.  While  thus  we 
ha\e  been  busy  in  the  literary  line  we 
have  not  neglected  athletics.  In  foot- 
ball we  ])ushed  the  Seniors  for  the  cham- 
pionship. The  champion  basket  -  ball 
team  at  Ruston,  Louisiana,  in  December 
was  composed  principally  of  members  of 
Oiiv  Class,  and  we  also  claimed  the  Class 
basket-ball  pennant.  Now  that  the  base- 
"ball  season  is  on  hand,  we  feel  sure  that 
the  Class  of  'oS  will  win  her  share  of 
honors  on  the  diamond,  liut  our  great- 
est honor  is  yet  unmentioned.     The  I'ac- 


ulty  has  selected  a  member  of  our  Class 
tj  represent  the  College  in  the  State  In- 
ter-collegiate (Jratorical  Contest,  which 
lakes  place  at  Columbns  in  May.  This 
is  the  highest  honor  given  by  ttie  Col- 
lege, and  is  usually  claimed  by  a  Senior. 
Realizing  that  it  would  take  books 
to  write  a  complete  histor)-,  I  have  only 
made  brief  mention  of  a  few  of  the  many 
laurels  won  by  this  illustrious  Class.  Al- 
though the  tasks  set  for  us  have  not  al- 
ways been  performed  and  the  lessons  to 


be  learned  have  too  often  been  neglected, 
yei'  ali  of  us  realizing  that  our  education 
lies  not  wholly  in  books,  should  truly 
say  that  from  our  College  life  we:  obtain 
a  far  deeper  insight  into  the  future  than 
could  ever  have  been  our  share  had  not 
our  alma  mater  guided  us  through  all 
thes!.  years  :  and  to  all  in  the  memory 
of  the  future  the  time  will  be  a  pleasant 
reach  upon  the  varied  distance  of  life's 
lorig'  pathway.

OBSEETATORY. 


Event  propitious,  frauglit  with  liope  of  zest, 
Came  in  Marcli  to  Millsaps  men.  nauglit  seven. 
To  see  the  sons  of  earth  and  stars  of  heaven, 

Whitworth  Seniors  louffht :  we  were  so  blest. 


Trolly-riding  went  we,  even-paired. 
Haply,  but  happily   for  those  who  shared 
Smiles  of  ladies  stately,  whose  rich  tresses. 
Wind-blown,   impaired  sedately  chaste  caresses. 

While  they,  dear  girls,  viewed  glories  celestial, 
Beheld  we,  bold  men,  beaulies  terrestial. 
Peering,  said  "she":  "Oh,  isn't  A^enus  cute?" 
At  once   "he"   felt   Dan   Cupid  shoot. 


Campus,  town  surveyed,  around  we  strayed, 
Compliments  were  passed  on  one  another. 

Whatever  else  engaged,  this  mind  was  stayed — • 
The  great  command  to  keep:  "Love  one  another." 


Why  not  let   us   hope   that  good  abiding 

May  come  to  those  that  are  as  yet  unplighted? 

Whereas  on  life's  broad  sea  we  are  still  tiding, 
'Tis  time  our  'oetter  half  should  soon  be  sighted. 

But  prate  I  not  of  what  is  all  sublime, 

Queenly  charms   fiive   i^rought  on  me  weird  seizure. 

Should  you  complain  at  surli  a  change  in  rhyme, 
My  mind  possessed,  will  right  mistakes  at  leisure.

SOPHIE. 


(With  apologies  to  Jock  of  Hazeklean.) 
■'VVhy    weep    ye    at    the  hoard,  Sophie? 

Why  weep  ye  at  the  board? 
I  "11  send  ye  yet  another  day, 

When  ye   are  not  so  floored, 
When  ye  are  not  so  ffoored.  Sophie, 

And  rattled  in  your  mind." 
But,  aye,  he  let  the  tear^  run  down 

And  tore  his  liair  behind. 

"Now  wipe  those  Preppish  tears  away. 

And   rub   your   work  all  out ; 
You  've  made  a  zero  'fore  to-day 

And   none   should   see  you  pout ; 
And  tho'  ye  looK  much  like  a  clown, 

Ye   have   a   little   mind." 
But,  aye,  he  let  the  tears  run  down 

And  tore  his  hair  behind. 

"I  've  ge'en  zeroes  by  the  peck, 

-And  all  are   richly  due. 
Ye  could  not  prove,  to  save  your  neck, 

That  one   md  one  are  two. 
Now  quit  this   running  ofif  to  town 

And  give  to  Alath  your  mind." 
But,  aye,  he  let  the  tears  run  down 

And  tore  his  nair  behind. 

'Twas   time    ot    trouble  ir,  the  land, 

"Exams"   were   in  the  air. 
All   Preps  and  Seniors  were  at  hand. 

But  Sophie  was   not  there. 
The  teachers    aought  inni  all  aroun'. 

But    him    they    could  not  find, 
For    Sophie  'd    cut    and  quit  the  town 

And  left  his  hair  behind !

HlfSTORV     or    THE    CLASS    OF    *(>;». 


To  the  average  student  of  Geography, 
it  i^  a  matter  of  Httle  consequence  where 
the  average  stream  rises  or  whither  it  ih- 
rects  its  course,  but  wlien  it  com^s  to 
sucli  great  streams  as  the  -Mississippi  or 
the  Amazon,  it  is  (|uite  different.  I:s 
CGinse  and  source  are  alike  viagerly 
soiight.  it  is  thus  with  the  student  of 
history.  Tlie  ordinary  institution  chal- 
lenges no  especial  attention,  but  when 
it  comes  to  a  great  organization  like  t;ie 
class  of  '09,  the  admiring  multitudes  de- 
mand all  the  details  of  its  histor}- — no 
matter  how  trivial  they  may  be. 

I  realize  that  in  order  to  write  a  true 
am!  complete  history,  it  is  necessai}'  to 
giy^  the  date  of  birth,  h.ome  and  a  bri.f 
sketch  of  the  life  of  the  character  treated. 
It  had  been  my  purpose  to  give  these  de- 
tails, but  scarcely  had  I  begun  compiling 
my  data  before  1  discovered  that  our  fair 
re]3resentatives  in  Section  I.  were,  with- 
out exception.  Hearing  the  age  of  si.^teen. 
Fearing  that  the  ancient  proverb  "that 
an  old  head  is  wisdom's  storehouse' 
might  cause  my  recital  of  our  unexcelled 
ability  to  be  looked  upon  with  a  slight 
degree  of  suspicion,  I  have  concluded  to 
deprive  the  reader  of  the  knowledge  that 
several  members  of  our  most  illustrious 
class  are  now  upon  the  threshold  of — 
their  sixteenth  summer.  Then  too.  some 
say  that  we  have  been  so  constant!}'  in 
the  limelight  and  that  the  world  has 
Vv'atched  our  course  with  so  much  enthu- 
siasm that  our  history  need  not  be  wriL-

^^'e  are  veritable  giants  in  Math  an'.! 
the  Classics.  Sucli  sharks  are  we  that 
it  is  rumored  tliat  several  of  our  nuniljer 
Avill  be  "lield  over"  another  year  in  order 
tliat  we  may  pilot  the  coming  class  over 


the  rougli  and  rugged  journe-\-  und,  if 
p<.;.sib!e,  make  clear  to  them  some  of 
tlie  mysteries  of  the  parabola. 

\\'hile  we  have  been  unusually  earnest 
in  tlie  |)ursuit  of  literary  activities,  we 
have  ]3_\-  no  means  neglected  athletics. 
We  have  played  all  the  games — foot- 
ball, base-ball,  basket-ball  and  tennis 
— very  successfully.  So  successfid  were 
we  in  foot-ball  that  someone  has  wisely 
likeneil  the  charge  of  our  enemies  of  the 
gridiron  to  that  of  the  Light  Brigade. 
Some,  for  whom  foot  -  ball  was  too 
rough,  have  engaged  in  the  less  strenu- 
ous sport  of  pony  riding,  ar  wliich  they 
have  become  very  skilful,  and  it  would 
indeed  Ije  hard  to  find  a  professional 
eouestrian  of  the  ring  whose  "stunts" 
could  perplex  them. 

\Mien  we  returned  this  year  nianv  of 
ouv  members  had  either  fallen  by  the 
\iayside  or  cast  their  lot  in  another  clime, 
but  our  ranks  were  replenished  vvith  good 
and  loyal  members.  \\"e  have  labored 
earnestly  and  have  alreadv  begun  to  look 
forward  to  the  greatest  event  of  the  ses- 
sion Commencement.  \\'e  are  preparing 
ou'-  speeches,  and  when  the  day  for  their 
delivery  rolls  around,  the  flood  gates 
of  oratory  will  be  raised. 

It  is  truly  a  great  class.  And  I  doubt 
not  in  the  process  of  time  it  shall  gain 
in  lustre  until  some  bright  numlDer  Of 
the  constellation  shall  become  the  guid- 
ing star  of  all  those  who  desire  eminence 
in  his  profession. 

However,  I  shall  leave  this  fragment 
to  be  completed  by  the  Historian  of  the 
frlin^e — ncA-er  doubting  that  high  upon 
ih,'  scroll  (if  fame  there  is  a  place  secured 
t'l  tlie  class  of  'o<).

CIECUMSTANCES    ALTER    CASES. 


"Luc\',  I  am  ver\-  inucli  huit  that  you

"Well,  niuther,  even  Jennie  Ray  went 
with  us,  and  \(>u  kiK.iw  she  is  the  very 
bes:  girl  in  unr  Class.  We  didn  t  think 
it  \\as  so  very  bad  to  run  otf.  This  is 
our  last  session  at  this  Sehool,  and  then 
everybody  plays  pranks  on  the  first  of 
April." 

"That  does  not  exeuse  you  in  the 
least,  my  daughter.  If  \ou  had  refuse(i 
to  go  possibly  you  might  have  been  tlu 
means  of  keeping  the  whole  Class.  Then 
after  all,  what  fun  did  you  find  in  it :" 

"Lots,  mother;  we  had  a  delightful 
limch  in  the  park,  and  then  it  was  fun 
to  think  how  eheap  Prot.  Smith  must 
ha\e  felt  when  he  found  us  all  gone. 
Don't  you  think  he  was  surprised?" 

"No  more  than  I  am,  Luey.  1  want 
you  to  go  to  your  room  and  think  quiet- 
ly over  this  matter,  and  I  am  sure  you 
will  feel  very  difTerently  about  it.  You 
must  apologize  to  Prof.  Smith  in  the 
morning,  and  if  you  are  not  really  sbriy 
it  will  all  be  of  no  use.  Sit  there  until 
I  call  you." 

Feeling  very  miserable,  I  went  to  my 
room  and  stood  by  the  wnidovv.  If  Prof. 
Sniith  had  come  along,  I  could  nave  truly 
told  him  that  I  was  sorry,  for  althougli 
I  could  see  no  harm  in  it,  I  then  felt 
that  I  must  have  done  wrong  or  mother 
v/culd  not  have  taken  it  so  seriouslv. 

Suddenly  I  was  aroused  from  my 
tlioughts  by  the  rins:ine  of  the  door  bell. 
Then  in  a  few  minutes  I  heard  r.iother 
exclaim,  "Why !  Alice  Green !  Where  on 
earth  did  you  come  from  ?  How  glad  I 
am  to  see  you !  You  haven't  changed  a 
bit,  vou  are  the  same  little  Alice  vou  used 


to  be."  S(jnn  they  were  seated  in  the 
roou!  just  in  front  of  mine,  and  I  learned 
that  Alice  Green  was  mother's  old  col- 
lege chum,  who)n  she  had  not  seen  in 
eighteen  years. 

My  room  was  separated  from  tlieirs 
only  by  folding  doors,  and  it  happened 
that  they  were  slightly  ajar.  So  as  moth- 
er liad  told  me  to  sit  there,  I  could  not 
but  hear  their  conversation. 

They  talked  of  what  had  hapjjened 
since  they  had  seen  each  other,  of  their 
families  and  such  things,  but  soon  their 
conversation  drifted  to  their  oul  college' 
days. 

"Alice,"  said  mother,  "you  don't 
know  how  the  Class  missed  )-ou.  We 
were  all  so  sorry  that  you  did  not  re- 
turn after  the  holidays.  What  fun  you 
did  miss  !  J  don't  think  a  Senior  class 
ever  had  better  times  than  we  did." 

"1  was  greatly  disappointed  when  1 
found  that  I  could  not  graduate  with  my 
Class,  but  mother's  health  was  failing  so 
rapidly,  I  felt  it  my  duty  to  remain  at 
home.  I  have  often  thought  of  those 
good  times  we  had.  Tell  me  about  the 
rest  of  the  session.  Did  you  have  mrny 
moie  of  those  jolly  feasts?" 

"Alice,"  said  mother,  "I  almost  get 
young  again  when  I  think  of  those  c'ays. 
Indeed  we  did,  one  especially.  You  re- 
member the  old  Art  Room  where  cdl  of 
our  spreads  were  laid?" 

"■Yes :  could  anyone  ever  forget  hav- 
ing to  climb  those  four  flights  of  stairs 
every  day?" 

"Well,  eight  of  us  girls  had  planned 
a  feast  for  a  certain  night,  and  in  some 
wav  the  Juniors  heard  of  it.  They  were 
al\\ays   trying  to  get  ahead   of  us,   and 


6o 


soon  we  knew  that  there  was  to  be  an- 
other feast  in  the  Art  Room  that  night. 
"After  that  we  racked  our  Drains  to 
find  some  way  to  keep  them  from  (jut- 
doing  us.  At  last  Nellie  Jenkins  liit  up- 
on a  plan  that  suited  exactly.  You  re- 
member all  of  those  little  closets  around 
the  walls,  where  our  Art  Materials  were 
kept?  That  night  we  waited  until  we 
knew  it  was  almost  time  for  the  Janiors 
to  go  up,  then  we,  wrapped  in  sheets  con- 
cealed ourselves  in  the  closets. 

"Presently  we  heard  the  door  being- 
opened  very  cautiously,  and  silentl)'  they 
began  to  prepare  their  feast.  Occ^ision- 
ally  we  heard  someone  say  something 
about  the  Seniors  having  to  give  up  their 
feast  From  our  watch  through  the  key- 
hole we  saw  them  all  sit  down  reavly  to 
begin.  Then  as  we  had  before  planned, 
wlicn  one  girl  turned  her  door  knob,  each 
did  the  same,  and  all  at  once  eignt  white 
figures  appeared  on  all  sides.  Vou  ought 
to  have  heard  the  screams,  and  seen  the 
expression  on  their  faces  as  they  dashed 
out  of  that  room. 

"We  bolted  the  door,  and  it  is  u.-ciess 
to  tell  you  we  enjoyed  their  uut.'.isted 
spread. 

"And  Alice,  do  you  remember  Jim 
Stone,  who  was  ^lary  Crane's  old  stand- 
by, and  how  they  used  to  get  notes  to 
each  other?  I  often  wonder  that  nrore 
of  us  didn't  get  caught  up  with.  Seems 
to  me  that  anyone  would  have  known 
that  boys  didn't  go  walking  e\-er\'  after- 
noon just  when  we  did  fiir  notiiing. 
They  always  knew  so  easily  when  we 
had  a  note  for  them,  and  I  Vealh-  tnink 
it  was  wonderful  how  notes  got  to  their 
right  owners,  when  we  gave  them  to 
just  any  boy  we  happened  to  meet. 

"They  seemed  to  have  read  the  notes 
as  pay  for  delivering  them,  and  Jim  soon 
tired  of  that.  So  they  determined  to 
try  another  plan.  Alary  promised  to  let 
the  note  down  from  her  window  by  a 
cord,  whenever  lie  came  for  it.  Thi.s' al- 
so brought  with  it  a  problem,  how  was 


Afar_\-  to  know  when  he  came?  It  was 
impossible  to  dodge  the  night  watches  at 
any  set  time.  jMary  seemed  always  able 
to  solve  these  problems,  so  she  told  Jim 
that  she  would  tie  the  cord  to  her  little 
bell,  and  in  this  way  he  could  wake  her. 
"This  seemed  very  plausible  to  Jim, 
1nit  Alary  still  had  troubles,  for  she  knew 
that  it  would  take  more  than  the  ringing 
of  a  little  bell  to  wake  her.  And  how  do 
\on  suppose  she  managed?  Well,  that 
n.ight  instead  of  tying  the  string  to  the 
bill  she  tied  it  to  her  toe,  and  soon  went 
soundly  to  sleep. 

"How  long  she  had  slept  :Mary  never 
knew,  but  she  was  awakened  by  a  slight 
l)ull  of  the  string.  As  Jim  did  not  hear 
the  bell,  he  gave  the  cord  a  still  harder 
pull,  then  still  not  hearing  a  sound  he 
gave  it  a  most  awful  jerk. 

"Oh.  what  agony  Mary  endured,  but 
she  suppressed  her  feelings  and  quietly 
let  down  the  letter.  All  the  rest  of  that 
night  she  tossed,  unable  to  again  close 
her  eyes,  and  early  the  next  morning  Dr. 
I<ihnson  was  called  in  to  see  a  dislocated 
toe.  For  many  days  she  was  constantly 
ren:inded  of  it  by  the  loose  slipper  which 
she  was  forced  to  wear.  Afterwards  poor 
lin  had  to  submit  to  reading  second- 
iiar.ded  letters. 

".\nd  the  night  Air.  Delaney  called! 
1  had  almost  forgotten  about  it.  Hnw  I 
eve,-  did  it  I  don't  know,  but  1  did.  Mr. 
Delanev  was  John's  old  friend  who  'Hap- 
pened to  pass  through  on  his  way  to 
Ohio.  Jcihn  wanted  him  to  call,  so  T  de- 
cided to  trv  to  get  permission.  \oii  re- 
iiKUiljcr  lidw  hard  it  was  while  you  were 
there,  and  towards  the  close  of  the  ses- 
si.in  they  made  a  rule  that  all  permissions 
nir.s:  begotten  from  President  Chambers. 
"It  happened  that  John  had  sent  me 
a  liox  of  candy  that  afternoon,  so  this 
ga\e  me  an  idea.  I  knew  if  I  wrote  a 
riote  asking  to  call.  President  wouM  im- 
mediately say.  "Xo,"  so  I  just  wrote  a 
f.=w  lines  in  a  large  masculine  hand  on 
til?  wrapping  of  the  box,  saying  tliat  he 


was  ill  town  and  hoped  to  see  nie.     Then 
I  signed  J.  L.  Delaney"s  name  to  it. 

■■\\'ith  this  I  went  to  President  Ciiam- 
ber's  office.  To  my  surprise,  wlien  he 
had  finished  reading  tlie  lines,  he  looked 
up  very  pleasantly  and  said,  'Is  he  an 
old  friend  of  yours  from  home?"  Of 
course  I  had  to  boldly  say  'Yes.'  and  then 
President  told  me  that  he  really  saw  no 
objections,  but  catitioned  nie  to  remem- 
ber the  hour. 

"With  President  Chambers"  permis- 
sion 1  felt  that  my  way  was  indeed  clear, 
but  that  night  something  happened  to 
change  my  mind.  Alice,  I  had  never 
seen  jNlr.  Delaney,  all  on  earth  that  I 
knew  about  him  was  that  he  was  John's 
friend  and  was  considered  very  hand- 
some. To  my  surprise,  when  I  reached 
the  parlor  door,  there  sat  President 
Chambers  and  three  strange  young  men, 
all  engaged  in  a  conversation. 

"\Miat  could  I  do?  I  had  told  Pres- 
ident that  he  was  an  old  friend  and  now 
I  must  prove  it.  Of  course  I  hesitated, 
for  I  had  to  think,  and  then  too,  I 
thought  that  someone  might  call  his 
name.  But  just  as  I  stopped,  ^liss  Kaven 
came  running  down  the  stairs  and  said, 
"Go  on  in,  Anna,  you  look  lovely  to- 
night. Don't  stop,  for  you  are  alreadv 
late.' 

"I  knew  that  I  must  jnit  on  a  bold 
face  and  try  my  luck.  John  had  said 
that  he  was  handsome,  so  I  just  picked 
out  the  handsomest  man  of  all  and  rushetl 
up  to  him.  Alice,  I  even  called  him  bv 
his  given  name  and  told  him  he  had  not 
changed  any  since  we  used  to  go  to 
school  together  in  that  little  red  school- 
house  by  the  lane.  At  first  he  looked  a 
little  surprised,  but  by  the  time  I  had  fin- 
ished with  my  lengthy  greeting,  he  saw 
my  position  and  startled  me  by  asking 
if  that  was  the  same  old  black  dress  I 
used   to   wear,    and   why   I   persisted   in 


wearing  a  red  rose  in  my  hair.  Truly 
I  had  settled  on  the  right  man,  aua  dfter 
introducing  him  to  President  Chaniners, 
\\  e  sat  down  to  talk  of  old  folks  at  home. 

"Alice,  would  you  believe  that  the 
President  and  those  gentlemen  sat  in  the 
parlor  the  entire  evening,  and  although 
thej  seemed  very  much  interested  in 
their  own  conversation  I  knew  full  well 
that  the  President  heard  every  word  we 
said.  Once  especially,  just  as  Air.  De- 
laney asked  me  if  I  had  heard  that  led 
Payne  and  Alary  Sullivan  were  married, 
I  saw  the  President  listening,  so  I  said, 
'What,  that  great  tall  woman  and  that 
ti.Tv  little  man?'  Then  the  President  and 
all  the  others  stopped  to  laugh.  We 
talked  on  this  way  continually,  making 
everybody  laugh  until  I  heard  the  stroke 
01  ten.  and  Air.  Delaney,  apparently  very 
reluctantly,  took  his  departure. 

"C)n  my  way  to  breakfast  the  next 
morning  I  met  President  Chambers  and 
he  stopped  me,  saying  'Anna,  you  seem 
to  have  enjoyed  your  friend's  visit  very 
much  last  night.  Whenever  an  old  friend 
like  him  is  in  town.  I  have  no  objection 
to  his  calling.'  " 

Night  alone  forced  mother's  friend 
to  leave,  and  when  mother  came  into 
my  room,  I  had  lighted  the  lamp.  Her 
face  was  beaming  as  she  said,  "Lucy, 
m\-  old  room-mate  at  Harding  has  '^pent 
the  afternoon  with  me,  and  you  don't 
knov'  what  a  pleasant  time  we  iiave  bad."' 

"Yes,  mother."  I  said,  "don't  Niink 
thrt  I  was  eavesdropping,  for  I  would 
not  do  so  for  anything,  but  you  remem- 
ber you  told  me  to  sit  here  quietly  until 
you  called  me.  so  I  could  not  keep  fsom 
Ilea  ring  and  from  thinking  how  times 
b.ave  changed  since  you  were  a  girl." 

I  did  not  have  to  apologize  to  Prof. 
Smith-  the  next  dav. 

Pear!  Spaiiii,  'op.

FRESHMAN     CLASS    HISTORY 


The  26th  of  September,  1906,  found 
a  forlorn  -  looking  group  of  Freshmen 
assembled  with  the  old  students  in  the 
College  Chapel.  We  eould  easdy  be  dis- 
tinguished, for  we  were  standing  about 
with  our  hands  in  our  pockets  and  re- 
garding the  old  students  with  a  mixture 
of  awe  and  bewilderment.  How  we 
longed  for  companionship  in  this  lonely 
hour.  It  seemed  that  the  element^  had 
formed  a  combination  with  other  things 
to  make  us  homesick,  for  it  had  been 
raining  almost  incessantly  in  torrents 
since  our  arrival  in  Jackson.  By  this 
tim?  we  were  feeling  our  first  attack  of 
homesickness.  This  feeling  of  loneliness 
remained  with  us  until  we  had  formed 
acquiiintances  among  the  boys  and  had 
settled  down  to  work. 

It  was  not  long  before  we  began  to 
feel  proud  of  our  Class  and  to  compli- 
ment ourselves  that  we  were  genuine 
Freshmen — not  green  ones,  for  this  color 
had  been  used  by  the  Class  that  preceded 
us  and  was  therefore  unknown  in  our 
Class. 

The  Seniors  tried  to  humiliate  us  by 
calling  us  "ignoramuses"  and  other, 
n.imes,  the  meaning  of  which  we  could 
not  entirely  comprehend.  Yet  our  hopes 
revived  when  we  found  that  there  were 
two  classes  below  us,  the  "Preps." 

We  met  in  due  time  and  elected  Class 
officers,  selected  our  colors,  ordered  Class 
hats  and  adapted  a  motto  which  we  have 
always  stood  by :  "Let  the  co-eds  do  the 
wcik."  This  meeting  seemed  to  have 
done  more  for  promoting  Class  spirit 
than  anything  else.  Since  that  time  the 
spirit  of  the  Class  of  '10  has  been  grow- 
ing every  day.  We  have  a  right  to  take 
pride  in  our  Class  for  a  great  many  rea- 
so'.is.  Each  one  of  the  co-eds  is  as  loyal 
a  supporter  of  the  Freshman  Class  as 
our   most   brawny   athlete   or   our   most 


ie:\'ent  orator.  This  is  clearly  shown  by 
ihe  tact  that  they  always  come  (jut  and 
'  loot'  when  the  team  plays  any  ot  the 
<thei  Class  teams,  in  numbers  we  sur- 
pass any  other  Class  in  College,  there 
being  seventy-three  of  us  who  hope  to 
wear  caps  and  gowns  in  1910;  m  debate 
and  oratory  we  are  ever  pi-e-eminent,  our 
men  being  leading  lights  in  both  the  Lit- 
eral y  Societies.  Besides  this  we  are  well 
represented  in  the  publications  ol  the 
Collegian. 

In  Athletics  such  names  as  Jones, 
Adams.  Haley,  Clark  and  others  will  live 
forever  in  the  annals  of  the  College.  We 
have  represemtatives  in  every  kind  of 
out-door  sport.  In  "gym"  work  we  are 
prominent :  one  of  our  members  has 
eliarge  of  the  gymnasium,  and  his  pro- 
ficiency is  recognized  by  all.  Our  foot- 
ball team  competed  successfully  with  the  ' 
other  Class  teams.  When  the  base-ball 
se.'isor.  opened  there  were  among  us,  ball 
players  who  organized  themselves  into  a 
teen  which  was  defeated  only  m  one 
game  For  various  reasons,  this  game 
nee.:  not  be  further  mentioned.  In 
basket-ball  our  team  did  some  very  ef- 
fective work.  At  the  close  of  the  series 
the  "gentle  and  simple  Preps,"  the  "gay 
30ung  Sophomores"  and  "grand  old 
Seniors"  had  all  been  laid  quietly  down 
to  rest  "in  the  shade  of  the  old  apple 
tiee'  h}  the  "verdant  Freshmen"  who 
\\-ere  only  suqiassed  In'  the  "jolh'  Jun- 
iors.' 

J\Iay  each  one  return  to  College  next 
session  as  a  Sophomore  to  maintain  the 
high  standard  which  has  been  set  by  our 
Clasr  during  the  past  session.  And  when 
the  Class  of  '10  has  made  its  last  appear- 
ance on  the  rostrum  of  Millsaps  College 
r.iay  there  be  no  other  Class  to  surpass 
the  splendid  record  made  by  them.

DEAR    OLD    SKULE. 


Dear  old  skule, 

The  sparrows  sing  above  you, 

Dear  old  skule ; 

They  speak  of  how  I  love  you, 
And  Oh,  what  a  fib  they  "tell! 
For  I  hate  to  hear  your  bell 
That  summons  us  to  class-room 
To  hear  pronounced  our  last  doom, 
For  Monday  morning  lessons 
Don't  cause  a  flow  of  blessin's 

On  our  old  skule,  dear  old  skule. 


Dear  old  skule. 

Bushes  glow  along  the  walk, 

Dear  old  skule. 

Where  we  used  to  love  to  talk 
Of  the  lessons  we  had  not 
And  the  lectures  ne'er  forgot. 
Of  the  latest  at  the  show 
And  the  places  where  we  'd  go 
If  we  were  not  then  at  skule 
Under  teacher's  strictest  rule 

In  our  old  skule,  dear  old  skule. 


Dear  old  skule, 

The  trees  so  green  around  you, 

Dear  old  skule ; 

They  look  as  if  they  'd  found  you 
Manv  a  long  year  before 
In  that  spot  where  now  your  door 
Causes  often  woeful  thoughts 
Of  the  zeros  and  the  naughts 
Given  wear}-  pupils  there. 
Causing  them  so  much  despair 

In  our  old  skule,  dear  old  skule. 


69 


Dear  old  skule, 

The  pupils  gone  above  you, 

Dear  old  skule, 

Surely  once  thev  didn't  love  you, 
Or  else  they  didn't  understand, 
Though  thev  loved  their  native  land 
Thev  didn't  have  to  love  their  skule 
With  its  hard  and  cruel  rule. 
Distance,  't  is,  enchants  the  view; 
Some  dav  I  may  love  you,  too, 

jNIv  own  old  skule,  dear  old  skule. 


Dear  old  skule, 

When  this  class  at  last  is  gone, 

Dear  old  skule. 

Clover  blossoms  in  your  lawn 
Still  will  be  as  green  and  white 
As  I  know  they  are  to-night; 
In  the  shadow  of  the  trees 
There  '11  be  nothing  but  the  bees 
To  regret  we  've  gone  away 
And  wish  us  back  again  some  day 

To  our  old  skule,  dear  old  skule. 


Dear  old  skule. 

When  we  have  graduated, 
Dear  old  skule, 

From  duties  always  hated. 

On  this  final  happy  night, 

When  the  future  seems  so  bright, 

Filled  with  joys  and  sweet  delight. 

And  we  know  that  we  have  quite 

Gone  beyond  our  former  wavs. 

We  '11  wish  again  the  old  skule-days 
In  our  old  skule,  dear  old  skule. 

Edith  McChter,

LAMAR    LlTEllARY    SOCIETY. 


Ever  since  its  organization,  the  La- 
n;ar  Literary  Society  has  been  one  of 
the  n'lOst  important  adjuncts  of  Miilsaps 
College.  Its  members  are  always  among 
the  foremost  men  in  College,  and  in  de- 
bate they  are  worthy  of  consideration. 

In  all  its  history,  no  year  has  been 
so  successlul  as  the  present.  It  has  pros- 
pered not  only  from  a  literary  point  of 
view  but  also  from  a  financial,  as  a  few 
facts  will  demonstrate.  Members  of  our 
society  are  to  represent  the  College  botii 
in  the  Mississippi  Oratorical  Contest  and 
the  Crystal  Springs  Chautauqua,  \V.  F. 
Alurrah  being  the  representative  to  the 
former  and  S.  I.  Osborn  to  the  latter. 
Then  again  we  have  not  allowed  our 
money  "to  lie  idly  by"  but  have  used 
it  in  equipping  and  beautifying  our  hall. 
The  result  is  that  we  have  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  and  attractive  halls  to  be 
found  anywhere. 

When  we  returned  this  year  it  was 
discovered  that  many  of  our  last  year's 
men  would  not  be  back  again,  and  con- 
siderable anxiety  was  expressed  as  to 
the  outcome  of  this  year's  work ;  but  all 
fears  of  an  unsuccessful  year's  work 
were  soon  dispelled,  for  it  was  soon  dis- 
covered that  our  ranks  had  been  replen- 
ished with  a  number  of  men  thoroughly 
imbued  with  the  spirit  of  our  motto: 
"Nulla  palma  sine,  labore."  We  were 
equally  successful  in  securing  honorary' 
members,  and  many  men  are  now  in  the 
societv    hard   at    work,    who   would    not 


have  become  members  had  it  been  for 
these    'attractions." 

Patriotism  and  love  of  the  society 
rather  than  politics  have  characterized 
this  year's  work.  Jn  the  selection  of 
officers,  debaters  and  speakers  the  men 
have  had  one  end  in  view,  and  that  to 
secure  the  best  and  most  capable  men 
regardless  of  class  or  other  affiliations. 

At  the  annual  election,  which  oc- 
curred in  the  early  part  of  the  session, 
the  following  men  were  chosen  to  rep- 
resent the  society  in  the  various  capac- 
ities :  Anniversarian,  S.  I.  Osborn ;  Or- 
ator, C.  H.  Kirkland;  Commencement 
Debaters,  Jeff  Collins  and  W.  F.  Mur- 
rah ;  Mid-Session  Debaters,  T.  L.  Bailey 
and  O.  F.  Turner.  W.  A.  Williams  was 
elected  to  represent  the  society  in  the 
Inter  -  Collegiate  Debate  between  the 
Southern  University  and  IVIillsaps.  The 
debate  occurred  at  Greensboro,  Alabama, 
and  Mr.  Williams  and  his  colleague  from 
the  Galloway  Society  won  the  question. 

We  are  now  nearing  the  end  of  the 
vear's  work  and  are  anxiously  awaiting 
Commencement,  for  then  we  believe  that 
our  members  will  do  our  society  great 
honor. 

To  the  one  who  peers  through  the 
dim  vista  of  the  future  the  prospects 
seem  brighter  than  ever  before ;  so  we 
can  but  prophesy  that  next  year's  work 
will  be  the  greatest  in  the  history  of  the 
society.

GALLOWAY     LITERARY    SOCIETY. 


The  history  of  the  Galloway  Literary 
Society,  indicating  the  time  of  its  origin, 
its  purpose,  and  the  honors  won  during 
the  first  fourteen  years  of  its  existence 
having  been  published  in  a  previous  edi- 
tion, it  only  remains  to  tell  what  has  been 
accomplished  in  the  session  of  nineteen 
hundred  six  and  seven. 

The  Galloway  Literary  Society  is  a 
progressive  organization  having  no  pa- 
tience with  the  old  realistic  idea  that  we 
should  accept  things  as  we  find  them, 
rather  believing  that  man  has  accom- 
plished nothing  that  cannot  be  improved 
upon.  This  progressive  spirit  has  been 
manifested  this  year  in  amending  the 
■constitution  so  as  to  provide  for  a  public 
meeting  for  the  first  Friday  evening  of 
•each  month,  and  for  an  extemporaneous 
■debate  in  addition  to  each  regular  pro- 
gramme. The  purpose  of  the  former  is 
to  stimulate  speakers  to  greater  efforts 
■and  to  give  the  public  an  opportunity  to 
see  the  kind  of  work  the  society  is  aoing. 

But  the  society  is  not  content  with 
being  on  the  right  side  of  every  question 
simply,  and  is  satisfied  only  when  it  has 
brought  others  over  to  its  own  way  of 
thinking.  For  example,  upon  learning 
that  the  Lamar  Society,  a  similar  organi- 
zation of  the  College,  was  laboring  under 
a  delusion  that  we  should  not  have  an  in- 


heritance tax  law,  it  immediately  sent  two 
of  its  most  popular  orators,  j\iessrs.  W. 
O.  Uackstrom  and  J.  C.  Rousseaux,  to 
that  honorable  body  for  the  purpose  of 
convincing  them  of  their  error.  The 
Gallowa}'  representatives  soon  became 
aware  that  their  task  was  no  easy  one, 
lor  they  were  met  in  public  debate  by  two 
of  Lamar's,  who,  though  in  the  wrong, 
were  so  sure  that  they  were  right  that 
they  sustained  their  convictions  with  ex- 
cellent argTiment.  However,  the  Gallo- 
way representatives  were  ecjual  to  the  oc- 
casion and  succeeded  in  converting  them 
to  their  views. 

The  advancement  of  the  society  dur- 
ing this  term  over  that  of  the  previous 
ones  is  not  due  to  chance.  It  is  due,  in 
a  large  measure,  to  the  wise  leadership 
of  its  presidents  and  the  faithful  efiforts 
of  its  speakers ;  and  so  long  as  the  so- 
ciety is  composed  of  men  who  believe  in

THE    Y0U:N^G    MEN'S    CHRISTIAN    ASSOCIATION. 


L'rg-anizfd  shortly  after  the  College 
was  founded,  the  Y.  ]\I.  C.  A.  has  been 
ever  dominated  by  the  two-fold  purpose 
( 1  )  of  leading  men  to  an  aeceptance  of 
Christ,  and  ( 2 )  of  forming  such  asso- 
ciations among  the  students  as  to  help 
them  guard  against  the  temptations  of 
college  life.  It  places  the  spiritual  above 
the  intellectual  and  emphasizes  the  im- 
portance of  Christian  activity  in  educa- 
tion. 

The  Association  strives  to  accomplish 
its  worthy  ideal  by  holding  twice-a-week 
prayer-meetings  conducted  by  the  stu- 
dents, or,  has  frequently  been  the  case, 
by  some  member  of  the  Faculty.  Pro- 
fessors \\'almsley,  Swartz,  Rickets  and 
Wise  have  so  favored  us  this  session. 
Attracted  away  by  other  things  in  the 
spring,  however,  students  need  more  of 
a  stimulus  than  weekly  meetings ;  this 
stimulus  is  provided  by  the  annual  re- 
vival services,  conducted  this  session  by- 
Rev.  Paul  AI.  ISrown,  of  the  i^oiiisiana 
Conference. 

Nor  is  this  the  only  method  of  the 
Association  to  keep  up  a  lively  interest 
in  Christian  work  :  to  this  end  delegates 
each  year  are  sent  to  some  students'  con- 
vention. From  such  trips  the  delegates 
return  fired  with  new  enthusiasm  to  im- 
part to  those  who  have  tarried  "by  the 
stuff."  The  usual  Southwestern  Confer- 
ence at  Ruston  this  year  saw  a  clelega- 
tiiin  from  Millsaps  larger  than  any  other 


representation  from  the  Colleges  of  the 
Southwest.  Those  going  from  our  Col- 
lege were  Messrs.  Brown.  Alullins,  R.  H. 
Rufif,  Kirkland,  Guinn,  W.  1'.  Moore, 
Currie,  P. right  and  .Murrah.  The  ten 
days  of  the  Conference  are  assiduously 
devoted  to  discussing  Y.  M.  C.  A.  work. 
The  afternoons,  however,  are  given  to 
athletics.  Messrs.  Aloore,  jMuUins,  Kirk- 
land anfl  Murrah  were  conspicuous  for 
good  work  on  the  foot-ball  team,  com- 
posed of  Alississippi  men  that  overcame 
the  men  from  Texas.  The  basket-ball 
pennant  was  won  by  the  Millsaps  rep- 
resentation. 

The  Association  work  is  the  students" 
work,  as  will  be  seen  by  noticing"  the  plan 
of  work.  The  President  ajipnints  seven 
chairmen  of  seven  committees,  composed 
each  of  three  men.  The  first  is  the  Ad- 
vertising Committee  whose  duty  it  is  at 
the  opening  of  each  session  to  have  dis- 
tributed among  the  students  a  hand-and- 
memorandum  book  with  camjius  in- 
formation, and  to  advertise  special  meet- 
ings. The  work  of  the  Reception  Commit- 
tee is  to  see  that  an  entertainment  is  had 
for  the  new  students — a  time  wliL-n  all 
arc  made  acquainted  with  each  other. 
The  Membership  Committee  meet  each 
new  man  on  the  campus  and  indi\iduall\- 
urge  him  to  join  the  Y.  M.  C.  A..  The 
Association  lias  117  members.  Then 
there  is  the  Finance  Committee  whose 
chairman  is  the  Treasurer  of  the  Asso- 


94 


ciation ;  they  collect  the  yearly  dues 
($1.50)  from  each  member  and  raise 
sufficient  funds  for  the  deleg-ations  and 
the  minister  who  conducts  the  revival. 
The  work  of  providing  leaders  for  the 
meetings  is  delegated  to  the  devotional 
committee. 

Finally,  the  Missionary  and  Bible 
Study  committees  are  important ;  tlie 
first  sees  to  it  that  the  subject  of  mis- 
sions is  enthusiastically  presented  to  the 
students,  that  courses  of  study  in  mis- 
sions is  enthusiastically  presented  to  the 
students,  that  courses  of  study  in  mis- 
sions are  offered,  and  that  men  are 
trained  in  SA'stematic  giving  to  missions. 


At  the  opening  of  each  session  the  Bible 
Study  Committee  earnestly  solicits  each 
student  to  take  systematic  work  in  Bible 
study.  The  courses  are  all  so  arranged 
as  to  allow  a  certain  part  of  time  to  be 
spent  in  daily  study:  on  Sunday  rrom 
2  to  3  o'clock  the  grou-s  meet  to  dis- 
cuss the  lessons  of  the  foregoing  week. 
There  are  ninety-five  men  enrolled. 

A  new  feature  this  session  has  been 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  DeT)artment  in  the  .1/(7/- 
Sii/^s  Collci^iaii.  With  .Air.  J.  R.  Uright 
as  the  able  editor,  the  principles  of  the 
Association  have  been  clearly  enunciated 
— common  evils  have  been  discussed  and 
reports  made. 


A    HEINE    LOVE    SOXG, 


As  Cynthia's  image  trembles 
In  ocean  billows  wild, 
While  she  herself  is  peaceful 
And  wanders  o'er  the  sky, 
\Mien  thou,  belov'd,  art  tranquil- 
Thy  image  in  my  heart 
Is  quivering,  and  trembles, 
Because  so  throbs  niv  heart.

THE    SOPHOMORE    CHARGE, 


(With  apologies  to  Tennyson.) 

I. 

Half  an  inch,  half  an  inch, 
Half  an  inch  onward, 

All  in  the  midst  of  Grads 
Sophs  now  had  blundered. 

"Forward,  you  athletes  made  ! 

Charge  for  the  goal!"  he  said; 

Into  the  midst  of  Grads 
Sophs  now  had  blundered. 


H. 


'Forward,  you  athletes  made  !' 
Was  there  a  man  dismay 'd? 
Not  tho'  the  fellows  knew 

Quarter  had  fumbled : 
Too  late  to  make  reply, 
Too  late  to  reason  why, 
Nothing  but  tO'  go  and  try ; 
Into  the  midst  of  Grads 

Xeven  now  stumbled. 

IV. 

Flash'd  all  their  arms  now  bare, 
Flash'd  as  they  leaped  in  air 
Tackling  the  runners  there. 
Charging  the  mighty,  while 

All  the  School  wonder'd ; 
Plunged  with  a  mighty  stroke 
Right  thro'  the  line  they  Droke  ; 
Sophs  and  Seniors 
Reel'd  from  this  mighty  stroke 

Shatter'd  and  sundered. 
Then  they  fell  back,  but  not — 

Not  the  same  number. 


III. 
Left  end  to  right  of  them. 
Right  end  to  left  of  them, 
Center  in  front  of  them 

Shouted  and  thunder'd ; 
Tackl'd  by  them,  they  fell. 
Boldly  they  struggl'd  and  well. 
Into  the  midst  of  Grads, 
Into  the  midst  of  hell 

Sophs  now  had  blunder'd. 

V. 
Left  end  to  right  of  them, 
Right  end  to  left  of  them. 
Center  in  front  of  them 

Came  on  like  thunder ; 
In  the  crash  both  "Prep,"  known 

well. 
And   Bob    Alullins.   the    full-back, 

fell. 
They  who  had  fought  so  well 
Came  from  the  midst  of  deatn. 
Back  from  the  midst  of  hell 
All  that  was  left  of  them. 
Now  nine  in  number. 


VI. 


W'hen  can  their  glory  fade? 
O  the  wild  rush  they  made ! 

Which  left  two  and  seven. 
Honor  the  rush  they  made ! 
Honor  those  athletes  made. 

Noble  clei'cn!

ATHLETICS. 


The  year  just  closing  has  Ijeen  one  of  marked  interest  in  Ath- 
letics, and  this  is  the  more  to  be  noted  as  it  lollows  a  year  of  un- 
usual depression.  The  Athletic  Association,  which  is  the  center 
of  all  athletic  activit}',  has  been  peculiarly  fortunate  in  having  as  its 
head  Air.  W.  F.  Murrah,  who  has  succeeded  in  arousing  enthusiasm 
to  such  a  degree  that  the  membership  of  the  Association  is  nearly 
four  times  as  large  as  last  vear. 

The  Gymnasium  has  been,  for  the  greater  part  of  the  year, 
under  the  efficient  care  of  Mr.  Easterling.  and  it  has  not  only  proved 
a  means  of  development  and  training,  but  has  also  been  a  place 
of  pleasant  resort,  especially  when  bad  weather  prevented  out- 
door sports. 

The  interest  in  the  first  i)art  of  the  ye.^r  centered  in  the  class 
contests  for  a  silver  loving  cup  ofl'ered  to  the  winning  foot-ball 
team.  While  the  cup  was  won  by  the  Senior  Class  team,  with 
the  Juniors  a  close  second  in  the  percentage  column,  every  class 
developed  foot-ball  material  that  might  have  creditably  represented 
the  College.  The  interest  manifested  by  J.ie  whole  College,  and 
the  enthusiastic  attendance  at  each  game  vere  new  and  most  en- 
couraging features  at  ]\Iillsaps. 

The  class  contest  for  the  basket-ball  championship  was  not 
attended  with  the  enthusiastic  interest  manifested  during  the  foot- 
ball season,  but  Air.  Gieger,  the  accomplished  basket-ball  manager, 
succeeded  in  developing  good  material,  and  the  victory  of  the 
Junior  team  was  well  earned. 

Interest  in  base-ball  is  hard  to  arouse  and  maintain  at  Alillsaps, 
as  the  majorit}'  of  the  capable  base-ball  men  are  mfected  with  the 
mania  for  seeing  professional  base-ball,  and  the  opening  of  the 
League  season  finds  on  the  bleacheries  those  men  who  should  be 
in  college  practice.  Teams  were  organized  from  each  class,  and 
while  it  was  soon  evident  that  the  contest  was  narrowed  down  to 
the  Freshman  and  Preparatory  teams,  interest  was  kept  up  till  the 
end,  when  the  Freshmen  won  the  j)ennant  offered  by  Mr.  Alurrah 
with  a  percentage  of  looo. 


ii8 


The  Tennis  Club,  as  well  as  the  Athletic  Association,  felt  the 
beneficial  effects  of  a  change  of  administration.  The  new  president. 
Professor  U.  H.  Aloore,  has  been  full  of  enthusiasm,  both  on  the 
courts  and  the  platform,  and  has  built  up  the  most  successful  Ten- 
nis Club  ever  known  here.  Two  new  courts  were  made,  and  the 
interest  has  not  flagged  during  the  year.  .\  liandicaj)  tournament 
was  held  in  the  early  spring,  and  Air.  J.  IS.  Catching  won  the  prize 
racket  offered  by  Professor  Moore.  Another  tournament  was  held 
on  Patriots'  Day,  and  a  team  representing  the  College  found  no 
difficulty  in  defeating  the  Jackson  High  School. 

The  leading  Athletic  feature  of  Patriots'  Day.  the  new  spring- 
holiday  at  Millsaps,  was  a  hotly  contested  game  of  base-ball  be- 
tween the  Freshman  team  and  an  all-AIillsaps  team,  ^^'ith  the 
exception  of  one  "swatfest"  inning,  the  game  was  a  very  even  con- 
test, and  the  enthusiasm  of  the  "rooters"  was  kept  at  high  tide. 
The  all-.Millsaps  team,  however,  was  unable  to  recover  from  the 
disastrous  first  inning,  and  the  Freshmen  were  allowed  to  enjoy 
the  reception  given  by  the  Freshman  co-eds  vith  a  clear  conscience 
and  a  light  heart. 

The  games  this  year  have  been  mostly  intcr-class  games,  but 
there  have  been  a  few  exceptions.  Earlv  in  the  fall  the  Prepara- 
tory foot-ball  team  won  an  eas}-  victory  over  the  Jackson  High 
School,  and  at  the  Students'  Conference  held  at  Ruston,  Louisiana, 
in  Christmas  week,  the  Alillsaps  men  won  tb.e  basket-ball  pennant. 
In  the  early  spring  Alanager  Catching  rook  his  victorious  Fresh- 
man base-ball  team  over  to  Clinton,  to  play  the  Freshmen  of  Alis- 
sissippi  College,  and  it  is  prudent  not  to  iu'iuire  too  closely  into 
the  details  of  this  latest  \\'aterloo. 

Summing  up  the  year  we  can  say  that  wh.ile  the  new  athletic 
field,  so  ardently  desired,  has  not  been  secured,  and  while  many  of 
our  promising  athletes  still  waste  their  energy  in  watching  League 
games,  this  has  been  a  good  year,  and  every  indication  points  to  a 
still  brighter  future.

ox     THE     JJAMvS     OF     THE  AT(  HAFALAYA. 


A  }oung"  man  of  iwenty-six  was  sit- 
ting on  tlie  banks  ul  the  Atchafala)"a 
gazing  into  its  waters,  whose  natural 
beauty  was  lieightencd  Ijy  tlie  rays  of  the 
setting  sun,  mingling  its  flickermg  light 
with  the  shadows  of  the  tall  cottonwcjods 
growing  along  the  banks.  It  was  an 
evening  in  June,  when  no  sound  could 
be  heard  save  the  hum  of  the  bees  amung 
the  clover,  and  the  murmur  of  the  wa- 
ters as  they  glided  by  on  their  way  to 
the(  lakes.  The  trees  were  covered  with 
deep  foliage  and  tlie  levees,  winding 
along  either  bank  of  the  river,  clothed 
in  their  summer  costumes  of  green,  with 
cattle  grazing  peacefully  on  them,  looked 
as  if  they  were  built  for  an  ornament 
rather  than  for  a  defence.  Just  behind 
the  young  man  lay  Broken  Arrows, 
"The  Milage  of  Roses."  to  the  north 
and  east  of  which  were  the  vast,  rich  cot- 
ton fields  stretching  from  the  Atchafal- 
aya  to  the  Mississippi,  twenty  miles  dis- 
tant ;  and  to  the  south  and  west  were 
deep  forests  of  cottonwood  and  the 
"Golden  Lakes"  of  the  Atchafalaya. 

Ten  years  ago  Orley  Reed,  for  such 
was  his  name,  entered  Broken  .\rrows 
for  his  first  time ;  friendless,  an  utter 
stranger,  and  with  no  capital  except  the 
memories  of  a  Christian  home  and  an 
unshaken  faith  in  his  mother's  God.  A 
few  weeks  before  his  arrival  at  Broken 
Arrows  he  had  been  called  home  on  ac- 
count of  the  extreme  illness  of  his  fa- 
ther, who  died  shortly  afterwards,  leav- 
ing him  and  his  little  sister,  Eunice,  of 
fourteen  summers,  to  face  the  world  as 
best  they  could.  When  Orlev  had  set- 
tled his  father's  accounts  he  found  that 
thev  still  had  about  one  hundred  dollars 


to  their  credit.  This  lie  gave'  to  ins  sis- 
ter and  sent  her  off  to  college  ;  and  he 
had  been  walking  from  village  to  village 
seeking  employment,  when  he  came  to 
Broken  Arrows,  a  small  town  in  Louisi- 
ana. Here  he  found  work  in  a  grocery 
store  which  paid  scarcely  enough  to  keep 
his  sister  at  college  and  pay  his  board. 
However,  he  secured  a  night  school 
which  enabled  him  to  buy  his  clothes 
and  occasionally  a  book  to  read. 

The  young  boy  soon  learned  that 
his  was  not  an  easy  task.  When  his  sis- 
ter left  for  college,  lie  had  kissed  her 
g'ood-bye  without  shedding  a  single  tear 
and  had  told  her  not  to  cry,  "For  I  can 
make  lots  of  money  somewhere,"  he 
said  ;  but  when  the  train  which  carried 
her  away  from  him  had  passed  out  of 
sight,  a  feeling  of  utter  loneliness  came 
over  him,  and  he  almost  repented  that 
he  had  sent  her  away.  Xor  did  his  ex- 
perience with  the  world  make  his  liurden 
any  the  lighter,  and  nothing  but  his 
dogged  determination  and  his  love  for 
his  sister  enabled  him  to  hold  his  own 
<luring  his  first  few  months  at  Broken 
Arrows. 

r.ut  Orley's  prospects  began  to 
brighten  after  his  first  year  in  this  little 
village.  His  diligence  and  his  honesty 
in  dealing  with  customers  had  so  in- 
creased his  employer's  trade  that  he  ad- 
vanced his  salary  more  than  once  during 
the  year.  Nor  had  he  won  the  respect 
and  the  esteem  of  the  business  world 
alone,  but  in  social  circles  his  congenial 
manner  had  made  him  many  friends, 
among  whom  was  I^eonard  Gorden,  a 
\oimg  man  from  Ohio  who  had  come  to 
Broken  Arrows  to  serve  as  pharmacist  in 


155 


his  uncle's  drug  store.  The  two  boys,  both 
from  distant  cities,  naturally  sympathized 
witli  each  other,  and  fiom  this  sympathy 
lliere  sprang  up  a  iife-long  friendship. 
Almost  ever)-  Suntlay  afternoon,  lor  this 
was  the  only  time  which  they  had  en- 
tirely to  themselves,  they  might  be  seen 
strolling  along  the  banks  of  the  Atcna- 
falaya,  stopping  here  and  there  to  gaze 
with  rapture  upon  the  beautiful  scenery 
which  Xature  has  furnished  so  abun- 
daiuiy  in  the  Southland,  and  especially 
in  this  particular  spot,  "where  reigns 
perpetual  summer"  ;  or  they  loved  also 
to  be  out  on  the  Golden  Lakes  of  the 
Atchafalaya  in  their  canoe,  one  reading 
aloud  while  the  other  held  the  oar,  which 
he  used  occasionally  to  keep  the  wind 
from  driving  the  boat  into  the  bushes 
which  grew  along  the  shore. 

Thus  four  years  passed  by,  unevent- 
ful so  far  as  the  world  could  sec,  yet 
full  of  change  for  the  boy.  He  was  no 
longer  a  clerk  in  a  grocery  store ;  he 
and  Leonard  had  giine  into  the  mercan- 
tile business  together  and  were  dding 
business  on  a  larger  scale  than  their 
former  employers,  for  their  friends 
transferred  their  trade  from  the  old 
firm  to  the  new  one.  Orley's  contact 
with  the  world  had  changed  the  open- 
hearted  boy  to  a  keen  financier.  Xor 
had  he  gained  all  and  lost  nothing  in 
the  transformation ;  his  dealings  with 
shrewd  traders,  some  of  them  unprinci- 
pled, had  sharpened  his  business  ability, 
l)ut  that  acuteness  of  moral  perception, 
which  enabled  him  to  distinguish  the 
good  from  the  evil,  had  been  blunted 
by  the  same  process.  The  old  delight 
in  the  beauties  of  Nature  and  the  sim- 
pler pleasures  of  his  earlier  davs  had 
been  smothered,  and  the  enterpiising 
spirit  of  commercialism  was  enthroning" 
itself  in  his  heart,  teaching  him  to  be- 
lieve that  a  man's  life  consists  in  the 
abundance  of  the  things  which  he  pos- 
sesseth. 

At    this    critical    period    there    came 


something  into  his  life  which  was  des- 
tined to  save  him  from  becoming  a  mere 
money-making  machine  and  toi  relight 
the  purer  fires  in  his  soul.  Eunice  had 
finisned  her  college  course  and  had  come 
to  liroken  Arrows  to  live  with  Orley, 
ij.inging  with  her  Freda  Downing,  one 
of  her  school  companions  to  spend  part 
of  the  summer  i  with  her.  This  little 
tiower  of  a  girl,  with  her  dark  hair  and 
brciwn  eyes,  which  sparkled  with  fun 
or  ffashed  with  intelligence  as  the  occa- 
sion demanded,  was  the  "something" 
which  was  to  bring  about  a  transforma- 
tion in  the  young  man's  life. 

Orley  had  determined  to  make  his 
sister's  friend  enjoy  her  visit  as  soon  as 
he  learned  that  she  was  coming,  and 
alter  meeting  her  he  had  no  desire  to 
change  his  plans.  Each  afternoon  he 
managed  to  spend  an  hour  or  two  with 
"the  girls,"  as  he  and  Leonard  usually 
s])oke  of  them.  One  evening  they  would 
spend  fishing  on  the  Golden  Lakes,  per- 
haps the  ne.xt  riding  over  the  beautiful 
waters  of  the  Atchafalaya,  the  girls 
calling  a  halt  occasionally  that  they  might 
pluck  the  wild  flowers  or  gather  the 
mosses  which  grew  so  abundantly  at  the 
water's  edge.  I^eonard  was  nearly  al- 
ways with  them.  He  proved  to  be  thor- 
oughly capable  of  entertaining  Eunice 
and  (  )rley's  attentions  were  devoted  to 
Freda.  ft  was  during  these  hours  of 
companionshi|_i  that  the  young  school 
girl,  wdiose  every  thought  and  wdiose 
whole  being  was  as  pure  as  the  wild 
flowers  which  he  gathered  for  her,  was 
unconsciouslv  leading  him  away  from 
those  things  which  had  threatened  to 
destroy  his  better  self. 

The  environments  of  these  tw'O  young 
people  had  been  very  different.  Freda's 
father  was  a  rich  real  estate  man,  and 
his  home  in  Atlanta,  Georgia,  was  one 
of  lu.xurv  and  refinement;  Orley's  father 
was  a  small  apple-grower  near  a  little 
town  in  Illinois.  Freda  knew  nothing 
of  the  world  in  which  she  lived  except 


1-6 


its  flowers,  its  books,  and  its  sunshine ; 
Orley  had  seen  much  of  the  hard  and 
thorny  side  of  hfe.  Yet  there  was  some- 
thing in  each  Hfe  whicli  drew  the  otlier 
to  it. 

Orley  hatd  not  reaUzed  how  piuch 
Freda  had  become  to  liim  until  the  time 
was  nearing  for  her  to  return  home,  and 
even  then  he  dared  not  tell  her  of  his 
affection  for  her.  "What  right,"  he 
thought,  have  I,  an  unpolished,  unedu- 
cated village  merchant,  to  ask  her  to 
share  my  lot  with  me  ?"  Poor  boy ! 
How  little  he  knew  of  a  woman's  heart, 
especially  of  this  one,  which  felt  be- 
neath the  rough  exterior  of  his  life  the 
finer  and  nobler  principles  of  true  man- 
hood. 

The  loneliness  which  C)rley  felt  when 
Freda  had  gone  home  was  made  the  less 
tolerable  by  the  unintentional  neglect  of 
Eunice  and  Leonard,  who,  in  theii  new 
delight  in  each  other's  company,  had 
left  him  to  spend  his  leisure  moments 
alone.  Orley,  however,  was  not  resent- 
ful, for  he  understood;  and  furthermore, 
he  wished  no  greater  blessing  for  his 
sister  than  that  she  should  become  the 
wife  of  Leonard  Gorden.  Accordingly, 
when  they  told  him  a  few  weeks  later 
that  they  were  to  be  married  soon,  he 
congratulated  them  from  the  depths  of 
his  heart  and  advised  that  the\-  fix  the 
date  of  their  wedding  as  early  as  possible. 

These  are  'the  eventJs  forming  the 
first  epoch  in  Orley's  life.  We  will  now 
follow  him  through  the  events  leading 
up  to  where  we  find  him  on  the  banks 
of  the  Atchafalaya.  .-Vfter  Leonard's 
and  Eunice's  marriage,  which  took  place 
two  months  later,  Orley  decided  to  leave 
Broken  Arrows  and  complete  his  educa- 
tion, which  had  been  hindered  by  the 
death  of  his  father ;  and  as  he  had  been 
at  the  University  of  Chicago  when  his 
father  died,  he  now  thought  it  best  to 
return  and  take  up  his  work  where  he 
had  left  it  ofif.  There  were  two  reasons 
wh}'  he  desired  to  complete   his  educa- 


tion :  first  he  wished  to  fit  himself  for 
larger  usefulness,  and  second,  he  was 
determined  to  remove  the  barriers  which 
he  felt  that  educational  ditierences  had 
placed  between  him  and  Freda  Downing, 
Accordingly,  a  few  weeks  later,  business 
ties  severed,  after  an  atfectionate  leave 
of  his  sister  and  friends,  he  found  him- 
self on  board  a  New  Orleans  steamer, 
the  first  part  of  his  journey  begun.  The 
sun,  rising  from  the  cotton  fields  in  the 
east,  was  bathing  in  golden  light  the  tops 
of  the  tall  forest  in  the  west ;  and  fall- 
ing a  half  hour  later  upon  the  lakes  of 
the  Atchafalaya,  it  turned  them  into  seas 
of  shining  gold.  Orley  stood  on  the 
deck  of  the  steamer  gazing  with  tender 
sadness  on  the  magnificent  scenery  and 
the  familiar  objects  as  he  passed  them  by. 
Here  stood  a  live  oak  under  whose  wide- 
spreading  branches  he  had  rested  from 
his  weary  walk  on  his  arrival  in  Broken 
Arrows ;  there  under  those  cottonwoods 
lay  a  large  stone  where  he  and  Freda 
had  sat  on  the  evening  before  she  left. 
How  he  recalled  every  word  of  hers  and 
the  unspoken  words  which  had  trembled 
on  his  own  lips,  but  which  he  dared  not 
utter.  Living  over  the  past,  he  looked 
again  upon  the  Golden  Lakes,  The  Mi- 
lage of  Roses,  and  the  green  cotton 
fields !  then  he  turned  and  \\alked  ito 
his  state  room,  his  eyes  half  blinded 
with  tears. 

The  same  genial  nature  which  had 
made  him  loved  in  Broken  Arrows 
brought  Orley  many  friends  in  Chicago, 
and  it  was  here  that  he  became  convinced 
of  his  life-work.  The  need  of  social  re- 
form in  the  great  cities  and  the  call  for 
a  man  who  would  devote  his  life  to  it 
appealed  to  him,  and  through  all  of  his 
college  davs  the  solution  of  this  prob- 
lem was  the  one  dominating  purpose  of 
his  life.  It  would  be  interesting  to  fol- 
low Orlev  through  the  stages  of  his  de- 
velopment at  the  L^niversity,  and  see  the 
eflfect  of  the  different  influences  which 
bore    upon   his   life,   but   we   must   pass 


157 


over  the  five  years  of  University  lite  to 
wliere  we  find  Orley,  now  at  the  age  of 
twenty-six,  on  the  banks  of  the  Atcha- 
falaya  on  this  evening  in  June. 

L)rley  liad  completed  his  education 
and  had  returned  to  Broken  Arrows  to 
look  once  again  upon  the  scenes  of  his 
earlier  days  before  entering  into  the  field 
which  he  had  chosen  for  his  life-work. 
Although  many  changes  had  been  made 
in  the  town  since  he  left  it  five  years 
ago,  there  were  a  few  things  that  had 
remained  the  same ;  his  sister's  face  had 
lost  none  of  its  freshness  and  she  seemed 
as  far  removed  from  care  as  the  little 
boy  of  four  and  ihe  little  girl  of  two 
who  called  her  mother ;  and  the  Atchafa- 
laya  which  had  woven  into  his  very  soul 
the  music  of  its  rippling  waters,  seemed 
as  eternal  in  its  beauty  as  the  Lrod  who 
created  it.  As  the  evening  began  to 
wear  away,  Orley  stole  away  from  his 
friends  that  he  might  listen  to  the  soft 
nuirmuring  of  the  waters  and  dream  of 
the  past.  But  there  was  an  expression 
of  sadness  on  his  face  which  changed 
to  one  of  deeper  tenderness  as  the  mem- 
ories of  the  past  came  back  to  him.  No 
wonder  that  he  looked  sad,  for  he  knew 
that  before  another  sun  would  rise  in 
the  east,  he  and  his  beautiful  river,  with 
all  its  sacred  memories,  would  be  niany 
miles  apart. 

But  it  was  not  his  love  for  the  river 
which  caused  the  expression  on  his  face 
to  deepen  to  one  of  tenderness,  but  its 
association  with  the  one  who  had  taught 
his  eyes  to  see  its  beauty  again,  when  for 
a  time  it  had  been  hid  from  him.  It  is 
true  he  had  been  with  her  only  a  few 
times,  but  how  those  few  times  had 
changed  his  whole  life !  It  was  she  who 
walking  along  the  banks  of  the  river, 
had  stopped  where  he  now  sat  to  call 
his  attention  to  the  beauties  of  the  scen- 
ery around  them,  and  looking  through 
her  eyes  he  had  learned  to  see  things 
as  she  saw  them.  It  was  while  sitting 
with  her  on  that  same  stone  that  he  had 


determined  to  win  her  love  and  make 
her  his  wife,  but  he  had  not  dared  to 
speak  to  her  until  he  had  gotten  his  ed- 
ucation. Thus  he  mused;  "Only  last 
week  Eunice  received  a  letter  from  her 
which  stated  that  she  and  her  father- 
would  be  in  Baton  Rouge  some  time 
soon,  and  that  she  would  come  over  to 
Broken  Arrows  to  spend  a  day  while  her 
father  was  attending  to  some  business, 
lint  why  did  she  not  answer  my  letter? 
Is  it  possible  that  she  did  not  receive 
it?  I  can  find  out  by  telling  Eunice,  but 
I  won't.  I  can  take  care  of  my  own 
afifairs." 

Such  were  the  thoughts  that  were 
passing  through  Orley's  mind  as  he  sat 
there  alone.  But  presently  his  attention 
was  drawn  to  a  large  steamboat  which 
landed  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  above 
him.  He  saw  ai  woman  get  ofl^  the  boat 
and  start  down  the  bank  of  the  river  in 
liis  direction,  but  if  she  was  going-  to 
town  why  did  she  not  take  a  cab  instead 
of  following  this  round-about  path  ?  The 
boats  generally  remained  an  hour  or 
more  at  Broken  Arrows  landing,  and 
passengers  often  took  advantage  oi  this 
delay  to  see  some  of  the  scenery  along 
the  banks  of  the  river,  which  was  noted 
for  its  beauty.  So  thought  Orley  in  the 
present  instance  and  was  soon  again  in 
his  deep  reverie.  The  woman  did  not 
see  him,  for  he  was  sitting  on  the  oppo- 
site side  of  two  trees  between  which 
some  fishermen  had  hung  a  tarpaulin  to 
protect  their  fire  from  the  breeze  while 
tliey  were  cooking  their  dinner.  Nor  did 
he  think  of  her  again  until  he  heard  a 
light  step  and  looking  around,  he  saw  a 
girl  standing  between  him  and  the  wa- 
ter's edge,  looking  down  upon  the  wild 
jessamine  which  grew  in  tangles  at  her 
feet.  She  was  dressed  in  a  neat  gray 
traveling  costume,  and  though  he  could 
not  see  her  facef  distinctly,  there  was 
something  about  her  features  that  caused 
him  to  think  that  he  had  seen  her  be- 
fore.    Presentl"   she    turned   her   face   a 


158 


little  further  m  his  direction  and  he  saw 
a  tear  glistening  in  her  eye  as  she  said 
in  a  low  voice,  "Oh,  Orley,  if  you  had 
only  spoken  then !" 

He  knew  her  voice  and  saw  before 
him  the  object  of  all  his  thoughts.  For 
a  moment  he  could  not  speak  or  move, 
so  great  was  his  emotion.  Then  recov- 
ering himself  he  arose  and  stepped  soft- 
ly to  her  side  and  said :  , 

"Freda,  I  can  speak  yet  if  it  is  not 
too  late." 

She  could  not  answer  him,  for  her 
surprise  was  even  greater  than  his. 

"Sit  down  here,  Freda,"  he  said, 
leading  her  to  the  stone  where  he  had 
been  sitting,   "I   have  something  to  tell 


you."  He  sat  down  by  her  side  and 
took  her  hand  in  his  own. 

"Five  years  ago  we  sat  here  together 
and  it  was  then  that  I  first  learned  to 
love  you.  Through  all  the  years  that 
have  passed  I  have  longed  for  your  com- 
panionship. Tell  me  that  you  love  me, 
Freda,  that  you  will  never  leave  me 
again." 

"1  love  you,"  she  said  simply. 

Xo  sound  could  be  heard  to  break 
the  stillness  of  the  hour  except  the  soft 
murmur  of  the  waters,  for  the  hum  of 
the  bees  among  the  clover  had  ceased, 
tlic   sun   had   gone  down   into   the   lakes 


in  tlie  west,  leaving  the 
the  evening  star.
