Memories 


In  that  sweet,  quiet  hour 

Of  a  day  near  its  close, 
When  the  warm  fire  bids 

Us  to  dream  and  to  doze, 
When  dull  Now  is  forgotten, 

With  its  joy  and  its  care, 
T  is  of  Millsaps  I  am  thinking 

And  the  friends  I  knew  there. 


Again  in  the  moonlight 

Merry  voices  I  hear, 
Then  a  song  through  the  stillness 

Is  borne  to  my  ear — 
Forgot  is  French  Grammar, 

And  "T.  A."  divine, 
For  the  shack  boys  are  singing 

To  "Sweet  Adeline." 


Now  a  morning  of  spring-time, 

On  that  campus  I  see, 
All  the  elms  in  green  glory 

And  song  birds  in  each  tree. 
There  are  hedges  of  roses, 

Wild  strawberries,   too, 
And  the  soft  southern  breeze 

Tells  of  violets  new. 


And  as  stars  after  sunset, 

One  by  one,  fill  the  sky. 
So  the  faces  and  voices 

Of  old  friends  multiply. 
From  lesson  to  library, 

Back  to  lesson  again, 
All  happy  together — 

As  we  should  have  been. 


But  some  wind  has  blown  us 

Away  from  that  dear  place; 
Just  a  few  now  are  left 

Our  commencement  to  grace. 
So  here's  health,  wealth  and  joy 

From  hearts  that  beat  true; 
Fairest  Class,  NINETEEN  TEN, 

Here's  to  Millsaps  and  YOU.

Senior  History 


HAVE  been  entrusted  with  the  high  honor  of  writing  the 
History  of  the  Class  of  1910.  A  serious  task!  More  so, 
because  my  capricious  .Muse  of  Inspiration  has  forsaken 
me  at  the  most  needful  moments,  and  because  my  recent 
trip  to  "Nod  Land,"  where  I  had  hoped  to  rind  some  light  on 
the  subject  has  also  proved  absolutely  fruitless.  Now, 
taking  into  consideration  the  score  of  my  brilliant  predecessors  and  their 
equally  brilliant  achievements,  1  begin  to  realize  the  gravity  of  my  own 
situation  and  the  perilous  disadvantage  at  which  my  classmates  are  placed. 
Hut.  gentle  reader,  only  remembering  that  "Officium  primum  est."  I  resolved 
to  give  you  something,  even  if  it  be  a  free  version  of  "The  Same  Old  Story 
in  the  Same  Old  Way,"  and  when  my  task  is  finally  completed,  I  shall  breathe 
a  sigh  of  relief  and  withdraw  with  humblest  apologies  into  the  remotest 
corner. 

To  begin  with,  ours  was  a  case  of  "Veni,  vidi,  vici,"  as  the  first  and  decisive 
battle  was  won  by  us  at  the  time  when  we  were  in  our  embryonic  stage,  in 
September  of  1906.  When  our  band  of  seventy-three  came  together  and 
organized  into  a  class,  it  was  decided  unanimously  that  green  should  not  be 
selected  as  a  class  color.  Thus  we  at  once  deprived  the  upper  classmen  of 
their  traditional  pleasure  of  prefixing  such  a  beautiful  epithet  to  our  names 
as  "verdant  Freshmen,"  and,  moreover,  we  placed  ourselves  upon  a  higher 
level  than  any  Freshmen  had  ever  dreamed  of.  Very  soon,  indeed,  the  entire 
student  bodv  came  to  realize  that  the  Class  of  '10  was  composed  of  individ- 
uals with  whom  they  would  have  to  reckon.  Throughout  the  entire  session 
we  maintained  the  highest  standard  in  every  phase  of  college  life.  W  e  were 
successful  in  our  class  work;  our  men  served  as  beacons  of  light  and  ex- 
amples of  eloquence  in  both  literary  societies;  we  were  well  represented  in 
every  issue  of  the  Collegian;  we  took  an  active  part  in  Y.  M.  C.  A.  work,  and 
in  Athletics  we  outstripped  on  the  whole  every  other  class.  Finally,  when 
the  session  was  over  and  we  bade  each  other  good-bye.  we  realized  that  the 
foundation  of  our  class  monument  was  well  laid.  Each  one  of  us  went  in  his 
direction  to  accumulate  new  strength,  in  order  to  help  build  this  monument 


37 


tn  grander  proportions  and  loftier  heights  than  had  ever  been  attempted 
heretofore  by  any  other  class. 

September  of  1'  07  found  us  again  assembled  in  the  College  chapel.  We 
were  somewhat  diminished  in  number  (twenty-one  of  us  having  remained 
in  the  world)  but  not  in  spirit.  With  the  same  zeal  and  zest  we  threw  our- 
selves into  our  work.  We  attacked  the  hated  "sines"  and  "cosines."  as  well 
as  our  opponents  on  the  football  field,  with  an  equal  fervor;  we  "rode"  bravely 
over  the  well-trodden  but  rocky  paths  of  Virgil  and  Xenophon ;  we  have 
gone  through  all  the  immeasurable  pleasures  which  the  immortal  "T.  A." 
afforded  tis  ;  we  have  subjected  ourselves  to  tin-  inspiring  effects  of  H.,S,  and 
learned  to  pronounce  with  precise  correctness,  "Ich  liebe  dich,"  when  ad- 
dressing ourselves  to  the  fairest  members  of  the  fair  sex.  In  the  halls  of 
our  Literary  Societies,  the  arrows  of  eloquence  of  the  members  of  '10  were 
more  sharp  and  piercing  than  ever.  During  the  baseball  sease)n  we  dragged 
into  the  dust  of  defeat  many  an  upper  as  well  as  lower  classman,  and  in  the 
"Gym"  we  proved  preeminent.  Finally,  when  the  battle  was  called  off  and 
we  were  proclaimed  victors,  we  found  that  our  class  monument  was  more 
than  half  built.  Again  we  parted  for  the  summer  to  return  as  Juniors  and 
continue  our  noble  work. 

In  the  fall  of  the  year  1S08,  our  Class  entered  upon  an  era  of  almost  un- 
precedented success.  After  having  spent  some  time  in  lamenting  over  those 
eighteen  who  had  not  returned  to  college,  we  took  up  our  work.  And  work  it 
was!  Some  of  us  settled  down,  determined  to  master  the  structural  formula 
of  "para-oxy-phenyl-alpha-amino  propionic  acid."  thus  attaining  fame  ami 
immortality.  Some  have  thought  it  their  ditty  to  proclaim  the  deeds  of  the 
Class  of  '10  "all  over  the  land  of  cotton,"  and  especially  among  the  fair  and 
beautiful.  Like  the  bards  of  old.  they  have  adopted  for  that  purpose  a  well- 
known  song,  used  by  their  colleagues  on  the  Rhine: 

"Mein  Herz  ist  wie  ein  Bienen-Haus, 
Die  Madchen  sind  die  Bienen; 

Sie  gehen  in,  Sie  gehen  aus  ; 

Mein   1  lerz  ist  wie  ein   I'lienen-Haus." 

Still  others  have  been  puzzling  their  brains  in  an  effort  to  prove  to  the  world 
that  Newton  was  not  such  a  wonder  after  all,  that  the  Class  of  '10  could  defy 
all  "Laws  of  Motion";  and  really,  at  the  close  of  the  session,  several  of  us 
have  found  ourselves  at  exactly  the  same  point  from  which  we  started.  I  do 
not  doubt  that  we  would  have  succeeded  in  overthrowing  the  laws  of  the 
insignificant  Newton  were  it  not  For  our  beloved  Dr.  Sullivan.  The  latter, 
fearing   that    we    contemplated    the    downfall    of    the    old    reliable    school    of 


38 


Physics,  began  at  mice  to  apply  "specials"  as  an  antidote  and  I",  behold,  we 
moved  on  with  the  rapidity  of  a  glacier! 

But  all  these  noble  efforts  and  worth)-  attainments  were  nothing  in  com- 
parison with  the  task  of  establishing  our  College  weekly,  the  Purple  and  White. 
We  are  proud  that  the  idea  was  originated  bv  one  from  our  midst.  An  indi- 
vidual, whose  outward  appearance  is  that  of  an  ordinary  mortal,  were  it  not 
for  the  pince-nez  which  ornaments  his  Roman  nose,  and  the  red  hair  which 
falls  in  profusion  about  his  philosophic  brow,  but  whose  inward  qualities  are 
those  of  a  literary  genius  still  in  his  teens,  and  a  strong  tendency  for  "wire 
pulling."  1  refer  to  no  one  else  than  "Red,"  alias  "Rough."  Once  he  "dipt 
into  the  future  far  as  human  eye  could  see"  and  perceived  at  once  a  wide 
and  undeveloped  field  for  the  latent  literary  forces  of  the  Junior  Class.  Upon 
communicating  the  idea  to  the  rest  of  us,  he  met  with  a  hearty  support,  and 
soon  a  crowd  of  enthusiastic  Juniors  were  set  t<  >  work,  carrying  through  their 
magnificent  plan  under  the  benevolent  auspices  of  our  esteemed  I  >r.  Kern. 
A  few  days  later,  the  rustling  sound  of  one  of  the  best  college  weeklies  in 
America  was  heard  in  every  nook  and  corner  of  the  campus.  Names  like 
"Ed"  Brewer,  "Boyd"  Campbell,  "Gus"  Kelly,  "Prep"  Wasson,  "Red"  Xeill, 
and  man_\',  many  others  will  be  handed  down  to  posterity,  for  they  are  the 
ones  who  gave  whatever  brains  and  time  they  could  spare  to  the  development 
of  our  Purple  and  White. 

In  the  meantime,  the  sun  was  rising  and  setting,  and  when  the  hour  of 
parting  struck  the  third  annual  knell,  we  looked  up  and  beheld  that  our  mon- 
ument had  risen  to  a  dizzy  height,  like  one  of  the  pyramids  of  old  Egypt,  and 
that  the  monuments  of  those  who  had  gone  before  us  looked  much  smaller 
and  poorer  in  workmanship.  "Piene  est,"  said  we  to  each  other  and  departed, 
each  one  taking  his  course. 

Xow  we  have  reached  our  "annus  mirabilissimus,"  and  with  pangs  oi 
regret  we  must  say  that  our  present  number  has  dwindled  down  to  twenty- 
six.  The  momentous  annals  of  our  last  year's  struggle  are  not  yet  completed, 
but  we  have  already  accomplished  some  things  that  constitute  a  worthy  and 
brilliant  crown  for  our  unsurpassed  class  monument.  In  the  fall  our  attention 
was  centered  on  the  gridiron,  and  the  spirit  of  our  courageous  football  players 
has  been  wisely  likened  to  that  displayed  by  those  who  once  protected  the 
pass  of  Thermopylae.  They  had  experienced  a  similar  fate  to  our  men  ;  beaten 
but  not  defeated!  Never  defeated!  For  the  spirit  of  our  revered  heroes  is 
just  as  staunch  and  undaunted  as  ever! 

The  Class  of  '10  is  still  leading  the  Purple  and  White,  and  continues  to  do 
noble  work  through  its  columns.    The  artistic  and  literary  work  of  the  Boba- 

39 


siikla  is  being  dune  exclusively  by  the  members  of  '10,  and  one  of  our  numer- 
ous followers  of  Demosthenes  is  to  represent  our  College  at  the  coming  State 
Oratorical  Contest. 

Meanwhile  we  have  accumulated  new  stores  of  knowledge.  We  fully 
comprehend  the  difference  between  "conation"  and  "cognition";  we  have 
learned  the  most  startling  fact,  that  besides  us  there  have  been  Trilobites 
Paradoxides  and  Pentromites  Godona  who  have  added  to  the  sum  total  of  the 
universe.  Some  of  us  are  still  in  quest  of  the  "Philosopher's  Stone,"  while 
others  enjoy  immensely  the  course  in  "star  gazing"  while  in  the  friendly 
embrace  of  Morpheus.  In  short,  we  are  still  in  the  midst  of  our  troubles,  but 
our  days  are  numbered,  and  we  shall  soon  have  to  leave  the  protecting  walls 
of  our  dear  Alma  Mater — one  of  the  largest  and  best  classes  she  has  ever 
sent  forth — and  go  out  into  the  world  to  grapple  a  mighty  battle  with  Life. 
So,  with  the  old  Grit  and  Spirit,  forward,  boys,  for 

"Is  it  well  that  while  we  range  with  Science,  glorying  in  Time, 
City  children  soak'  and  blacken  soul  and  sense  in  city  slime: 

"Follow  you  the  Star  that  lights  a  desert  pathway,  yours  or  mine. 
Forward,  till  you  see  the  highest  human  nature  is  divine. 

''Follow  Light  ami  do  the  Right — for  man  can  half  control  his  doom — 
Till  you  find  the  deathless  Angel  seated  in  the  vacant  tomb." 

Mi  irris  Stri  im, 
Historian. 


Here's  to  the  man  who  first  began 
To  knock  on  Millsaps  College ; 

May  he  stand  where  all  the  land 
Can  ridicule  his  knowledge. 


If  he  should  be  sent  out  to  sea 
On  a  mission  of  any  kind, 

Let  the  crew,  in  a  leaky  canoe, 
leave  him  far  behind. 


If  he  should  travel  on  his  native  gravel, 
Or  remain  on  his  parental  plot. 

May  snow  and  rain,  sorrow  and  pain, 
Forever  be  his  lot. 


BUT  here's  to  the  men  who  now  begin 
To  take  HER  interests  to  reart, 

May  they  be  blest  in  the  haven  of  rest, 
As  men  who  have  done  their  part

Mill  ano  {Testament  of  the  Senior  Class 


Knowing  that  the  time  of  our  departure  is  at  hand,  and  wishing  to  assure 
a  proper  disposal  of  the  vast  wealth  of  experiences,  rights  and  privileges  which 
it  has  been  our  pleasure  to  possess  as  college  students,  we,  the  Graduating 
Class  of  Millsaps  College,  hoping  to  benefit  all  future  students  at  said  Col- 
lege, do  hereby  make,  constitute  and  ordain  this,  our  last  will  and  testament, 
in  manner  and  form  as  follows  : 

I.  To  the  Class  of  1911  we  bequeath  our  beloved  Bobashela,  with  the 
hope  that  for  them  the  work  on  it  will  progress  as  smoothly  and  harmoniously 
as  we  have  found  it  to  do. 

II.  Also  to  the  Class  of  1911  we  leave  that  southeast  corner  of  the  chapel 
known  as  Section  I . 

III.  That  all  future  students  may  be  benefitted  by  it.  we  will  and  bequeath 
to  the  Carnegie-.Millsaps  Library  that  masterpiece  of  the  Class  of  1('10 — 
"Compromises." 

IV.  To  the  Freshman  Class  we  give  our  collection  of  aniline  dyes,  war- 
ranted to  make  any  shade  of  green  unrecognizable. 

V.  To  future  aspiring  chemists  we  leave  the  care  of  the  balance  room  in 
the  Senior  Laboratory,  with  the  warning  that  they  always  keep  the  door 
closed. 

VI.  Knowing  that  he  will  appreciate  the  sentiments  expressed  in  that 
humorous  little  volume  by  Bratton,  "(letting  to  Class  Late."  we  bequeath  a 
copy  of  it  to  I.  C.  Enochs. 

VII.  To  all  future  Senior  classes,  in  order  to  save  them  much  time  and 
arduous  labor,  we  will  our  carefully  prepared  set  of  examination  questions  on 
the  catalog. 

VIII.  To  all  town  students  we  leave  the  West  Street  car  and  "Uncle 
Jack." 

41 


IX.  As  a  testimonial  of  our  love  and  respect,  and  after  diligent  search 
for  something  that  would  please  him,  we  bequeath  to  Dr.  Ackland  large  por- 
traits of  M.  L.  Neil!  and  F.  S.  Williams. 

X.  All  our  honors — scholastic,  oratorical  and  athletic — we  bequeath  to 
that  hall  of  fame — the  Memories  of  our  Alma  Mater,  where  live  in  spirit  all 
those  who  have  preceded  us. 

We  do  hereby  appoint  Dr.  W.  B.  Murrah  as  sole  administrator  of  this  last 
will  and  testament  and  require  that  he  give  bond  for  the  sum  of  $100,000. 

Further,  we  do  hereby  provide  that  if  any  think  they  have  not  received 
their  proper  share  of  our  bequests,  and  do  contest  this  will  for  the  purpose 
of  obtaining  a  larger  portion,  they  shall  be  deprived  of  the  bequests  made 
them  by  this  will  and  same  shall  be  used  to  erect  a  Hospital  for  Dog-Eared 
Interlined  Books. 

Witness  our  signature  this  seventh  day  of  June,   1910. 

The  Se.mor  Class.

For  I  looked  into  the  future  far  as  the  eye  could  see, 

Saw  the  vision  of  the  Seniors  and  all  the  "humbugs"  they  could  be. 

Am  1  mad  that  1  should  cherish  that  which  will  not  come  to  pass? 
1   will  pluck  it  from  my  prophecy,  our  deeds  will  surely  last. 

As  the  Senior  is.  the  world  is;  he  is  mated  to  their  plans. 

And  the  greatness  of  his  learning  will  have  weight  in  many  lands. 

For  I  looked  into  the  future  far  as  the  eye  could  see, 

Saw  the  vision  of  the  Seniors  and  all  the  great  men  they  would  he. 

Saw  that  some  were  business  men  in  a  busy  world  of  labor. 
A  millionaire  in  fortune,  and  nobly  helping  out  his  neighbor. 

Some  were  versed  in  surgery,  assisting  the  afflicted. 
Curing  the  worst  diseases  tongue  or  pen  has  e'er  depicted. 

Some  were  teaching  the  young,  in  the  ways  of  truth  and  right. 
Giving"  them  lofty  aspirations,  preparing  them  for  the  fight. 

Some  will  show  a  light  to  all  men,  preach  a  gospel,  all  men's  good, 
Show  them  their  salvation  by  believing  in  Christ's  spilt  blood. 

Men  my  brothers,  men  the  Seniors,  ever  doing  something  new, 
Where  is  the  limit  to  the  many  noble  things  they'll  do? 

For  I  doubt  not  thru  all  the  Seniors  one  noble  purpose  holds. 
Inspires  their  comrades,  and  public  sentiment  moulds. 

We  yearn  for  the  large  excitement  that  coming  years  will  yield, 
We  are  eager  as  a  boy  when  first  he  leaves  his  father's  field. 

43 


And  our  spirits  leap  within  us  to  be  gone  before  us  then. 
Underneath  the  light  we  look  at,  in  among  the  throngs  of  men. 

There  the  common  sense  of  us  shall  hold  a  fretful  world  at  bay, 
With  our  learning  we  shall  lift  them  up  from  day  to  day. 

So  now  into  the  world  we  plunge,  to  wander  far  and  long, 

A  sad  farewell  to  Hooks  and  Profs.,  a  farewell  to  Chapel-song.

AN  UNROMANTIC  CHRONICLE  OF 
FOUR  UNROMANTIC  YEARS 


As  a  Freshman  first  he  greets  her; 

And  't  is  out  on  North  Stale  Street 
That  the  chubby  little  student 

And  sweet  schoolgirl  chance  to  meet. 

As  a  flashy  Sophomore,  next, 
She  wears  his  bright  frat  pin; 

She  a  Senior  at  Belhaven, 

He  a  frat  man — just  talfen  in. 

But  now,  a  Junior  dandy, 

An  awful  swell  gallant. 
He  mafyes  profound  advances 

To  this  charming  debutante. 

At  length,  a  learned  Senior, 

He  tells  his  tale,  somehow; 
And,  well — no  matter  what  she  said, 

She  darns  his  stockings  now.

LAW   CLASS 


History  of  tbc  Xaw  Class 


rlEXEYER  any  extraordinary  phenomenon  appears  and  the 
light  of  the  investigating  and  inquisitive  curiosity  is  turned 
thereupon  for  inspection,  the  first  question  usually  is:  "From 
whence  did  it  come?" 

The  Millsaps  Law  Class  of  lc)10  is  undoubtedly  the  most 
extraordinary  phenomenon  of  its  kind  that  has  appeared  since 
the  palmy  days  when  our  ancestors  dwelt  in  the  leafy-boughed  palaces  of 
Monkey-land.  And  the  eternal  and  ever-recurring  question  of  the  populace 
is:  "From  whence  did  it  come?"  Xo  proof  need  be  offered  to  substantiate 
the  assertion  as  to  its  being  the  most  rambunctious  phenomenon  of  the  age; 
hut  we  only  ask  you,  wearied  reader,  if  you  have  any  doubt  about  it.  just  to 
take  a  sidelong  glance  at  any  of  its  representatives  and  see  if  you,  too,  do  not 
ask  the  question:    "From  whence  did  it  come?" 

But  your  question  will  remain  unanswered.  It  is  an  unsolved  problem. 
Many  theories  have  been  offered  by  eminent  Bugologists  in  their  efforts  to 
find  their  origin  ;  some  have  said  that  Teddy  must  have  routed  them  from 
the  jungles  of  Africa.  Others  have  claimed  that  they  are  harmless  specimens 
that  Ted  sent  over.  They  have  even  been  dragged  into  the  North  Pole  con- 
troversy, both  Cook  and  Peary  claiming  to  have  found  them.  However, 
little  credence  has  been  given  to  the  statements  of  these  gentlemen. 

There  are  others  who  claim,  with  some  degree  of  certainty,  that  these  are 
refugees  from  the  infested  districts  of  the  boll  weevil,  otherwise,  bankrupt 
and  disgruntled  farm  hands. 

The  gentlemen  composing  the  Class  have  each  a  clear  and  distinct  indi- 
viduality, and  by  these  characteristics  ye  shall  know  them  ;  viz.,  Alford 
the  Bashful,  Berry  the  Dumb,  Boutwell  the  Beautiful,  Collins  the  Cunning, 
Ellzev  the  Erudite,  Lee  the  Learned.  Luper  the  Lean,  Mayes  the  Regular, 
Martin  the  Sanctified,  Osborn  the  Opulent,  Snowden  the  Reformed,  Simmons 
the  Celibate,  Thompson  the  Intelligent.  Waller  the  Overworked,  Williams 
the  Silent. 

All  these  celebrities  corralled  into  one  bunch  cause  the  Class  of  '10  to 
shine  with  undimmed  lustrosity,  even  as  irridescent  and  luminiferous  satel- 


50 


lites  in  the  illimitable  firmament  of  imperishable  grandiloquence.  Their  char- 
acteristics have  permeated  every  feature  of  the  college  life  like  the  odor  of 
immemorial  hash  filling  every  nook  and  corner  of  that  abode  of  afflicted  hu- 
manity called  a  boarding-house. 

But,  notwithstanding  the  varied  and  heterogeneous  propensities  making 
up  the  Class,  two  common  features  are  found  in  every  member.  One  of  these 
is  an  inordinate,  undisguised  and  immeasurable  wealth  of  ignorance  about 
even-thing  in  general,  and  law  in  particular.  The  other  common  character- 
istic is  a  strong  and  determined  ambition  to  be  leaders  in  the  onward  march 
of  the  millions  toward  a  grander  commonwealth  and  a  greater  civilization, 
whereby  they  may  revolutionize  the  universe,  perishing  the  microcosm  in 
the  limitless  macrocosm  and  sinking  this  earthly  segregate  in  the  boundless, 
rushing,  choral  aggregation  eternally  E  Pluribus   I'ntim.

History  of  tbc  Class  of  19X1 


HE  history  of  the  Class  of  1911!  Noble  three  and  twenty, 
what  pen  is  worthy  to  recount  thy  great  and  glorious  deeds! 
No  pen  is  worthy,  but  we  feel  that  we  can  not,  with  a  clear 
conscience  and  in  justice  to  our  fellow  men,  leave  unrecorded 
our  most  noble  deeds.  They  have  been  many  and  great, 
and  we  regret  that  here  we  have  space  for  only  a  few. 
In  September,  1907,  there  were  enrolled  in  the  Freshman  Class  of  Mill- 
saps  College  ninety  boys  and  lour  girls.  Could  there  be  a  more  perfect  be- 
ginning? Then  came  class  organization.  The  first  officers  of  the  Class  of 
1**11  were  Roscoe  C.  Berry,  1 'resident :  Carrie  Wharton,  Vice-President; 
Marguerite  Park.  Secretary;  A.  B.  Clark,  Treasurer.  Under  these  officers 
we  achieved  things  remarkable  and.  in  sooth,  most  astounding  for  a  Freshman 
Class.  The  dignified  and  experienced  Seniors,  the  haughty  Juniors  and  even 
the  wise  Sophs  stood  in  awe  of  such  genius  as  we  displayed  in  all  we  under- 
took; indeed,   jealousy   rankled  in   more   than   one  ungenerous  heart. 

In  mental  activities  we  always  took  the  lead,  breaking  the  record  in  Fresh- 
man Math.  In  the  Literary  Societies  our  genius  was  continually  displaying 
itself  before  open-mouthed  upper-classmen.  In  society  at  large,  we  acquired 
a  most  enviable  position.  In  athletics,  we  proudly  took  the  lead.  Our  foot- 
ball team,  which  has  since  been  the  envy  of  the  colleges  for  miles  around,  in 
this  first  trial  acquitted  itself  most  gloriously,  so  that  not  only  our  Class 
but  the  College  felt  honored.  In  baseball  we  easily  defeated  the  other  class- 
men ami  won  the  pennant.  Thus  victoriously  ended  our  Freshman  year  and 
we  went  home  to  our  well-deserved  rest. 

But  we  returned — with  slightly  diminished  numbers,  we  own.  However, 
our  ardor  was  not  dampened  by  this.  Sophs  of  1S09!  How  full  of  victories 
for  us  was  this  vear  stored!  We  took  up  our  studies  with  renewed  vig'or 
and,  as  wise  Sophomores  should,  we  set  about  to  place  before  the  coming 
generations  of  Freshmen  an  example  which  they  would  be  eager  and  proud 
to  follow.  We  organized  early  with  the  following  officers:  A.  C.  Anderson. 
President;  C.  W.  Bufkin,  Vice-President;  .Marguerite  Park,  Secretary.  The 
sad   death  of  our  beloved    President,   later  in   the   vear,   was   the  occasion   of 


56 


greatest  grief,  not  only  to  our  Class.  but  to  the  College.  In  his  death  we 
sustained  an  inestimable  loss.    To  till  the  vacancy  l\.  C.  Berry  was  elected. 

As  we  applied  ourselves,  each  day  brought  forth  some  fresh  evidence  of 
our  genius.  The  "profs,"  who  had  been  surprised  at  us  as  Freshmen,  fairly 
marveled  now.  The  Juniors  and  Seniors  had  ceased  to  be  jealous  of  our 
achievements,  and  simply  looked  on  in  silent  wonder.  Again  we  conquered 
on  the  field  of  athletics.  As  the  wind  carrieth  away  the  chaff,  so  our  "in- 
vincible eleven"  swept  before  it  the  other  teams.  None  could  withstand  their 
onrush,  neither  Senior.  Junior  nor  Freshman — all  alike  perished,  and  we 
were  rewarded  this  time  with  the  cup.  In  baseball  we  were  alike  victorious, 
defeating  the  others  and  a  second  time  winning  the  pennant.  No  other  class 
in  the  history  of  the  College  has  accomplished  this  during  the  same  year. 
Good  reason  had  we  to  be  proud  of  our  record.  Thus  gloriously  did  we  end 
i  mr  Sophonn  ire  rear. 

Another  well-earned  vacation,  and  in  September,  1909,  we  came  again — 
not  all.  for  many  had  left  our  ranks.  Our  number  had  fallen  to  twenty-three; 
but  undaunted,  we  organized  once  more,  with  Robert  J.  Bing"ham,  President; 
C.   F.  Johnson.   Vice-President;  Myrtle  Johnson,  Secretary. 

This  year  we  have  been  more  than  ever  successful  in  mental  fields.  We 
have  mastered  Horace  and  I 'liny;  we  have  mastered  Organic  Chemistry; 
we  have  mastered  Calculus.  We  now  feel  able  to  cope  with  the  world.  What 
terrors  has  Seniordom  for  us  now? 

Our  Junior  year  is  gone.  How  dear  we  hold  it!  Xext  year,  classmates, 
will  be  fraught  with  anxiety — too  full  of  classes  that  must  lie  taken  and 
made.  This  year  our  work  has  been  hard;  but  with  all  there  has  not  come 
to  us  that  feeling  of  responsibility,  amounting  at  times  almost  to  despair. 
that  we  must  inevitably  experience  next  year  as  Seniors.  Xow  we  must  part 
for  a  while,  and  when  we  meet  again,  it  will  be  in  the  long-sought  "promised 
land''  of  Seniordom.  In  spite  of  our  efforts.  O  Juniors,  many  opportunities 
to  do  greater  things  have  been  lost.  Realizing  this,  let  us  each  profit  well 
by  our  mistakes  and  make  of  next  year  a  grand  and  glorious  success. 

Id  tSTORTAX.

June  iRoscs 

Sweet  and  faint  as  a  whispered  prayer, 

The  fragrant  incense  fills  the  air; 
The  chill  of  the  spring-time  passes  by, 

June  comes  with  the  roses  and  azure  sky, 
The  song  of  birds,  and  the  laughing  stream 

The  sights  and  sounds  of  a  summer  dream 
Linger  and  brood  over  field  and  wood, 

And  over  the  valleys  soft  and  dim, 

Like  the  echoed  sound  of  a  far-off  hymn, 

Sounds  the  mocker's  call  thro'  the  solitude 

Bright  as  the  burning  bush  of  old, 

The  ash,  blood-red  through  the  thicket  shines; 
And  I  hear  the  ripple  of  waters  bold 

Blent  with  the  murmur  of  the  pines 

As  I  came  thro'  fields  of  waving  corn 

I  passed  a  garden  of  roses  fair. 
Kissed  by  the  rosy  lips  of  morn, 

The  brightest  and  sweetest  were  blooming  there 

Oh!  thoughts  of  love!  an  angel's  tear, 
By  Love  a  form  and  substance  given; 

Lost  Eden's  joys  still  lingering  here, 
To  woo  the  erring  soul  to  heaven. 

Your  faces  are  bright  with  a  thought  suppressed. 
Your  lips  are  red  with  the  wine  of  truth! 

Why  linger  you  here  in  a  world  unblessed? 
Types  of  lost  Eden's  Joy  and  Youth! 


Zhc  TRoses'  IReplv?  effn  Cborus) 

Nine  sisters  we  are!  when  the  world  was  young, 
And  the  stars  of  the  morning  together  sung 
In  the  Garden  of  Eden,  pure  and  bright, 
There  blossomed  a  rose  of  spotless  white. 

Pure,  and  white  as  the  snow,  it  shone 

With  a  radiance  borrowed  from  the  Throne; 

Pure  and  white  as  a  dream  of  God, 

It  blossomed  and  bloomed  on  Eden's  sod 

Pure  and  white  was  the  Kaiseiin, 

'Till  touched  and  soiled  by  the  hand  of  sin; 

And,  indistinct  as  the  shaded  lines 

That  separate  the  colors  seven, 

When  bright  the  bow  of  promise  shines 

Against  the  dark  background  of  Heaven 

The  changes  were      White,  pure  as  snows, 
Then,  touched  by  Error's  deadly  blight, 

To  softer  sadness  changed  the  rose, 
Half  losing  all  its  lustrous  white 

Pure,  even  yet!   thro'  change,  thro'  death, 
The  lingering  scent  of  Eden's  bower; 

The  subtle,  delicate,  sweet  breath 

Of  Heaven  pervades  the  fallen  flower 

Pure!  tho*  its  colors  change  and  dim, 

For  in  its  heart  there  ever  broods 
The  holy  dream,  the  thought  of  Him, 

Whose  love  the  tiniest  flower  includes. 

Pare,  even  yet!   oh,  highest   type 

Of  rosehood,  holy,  pure  and  fair; 
On  Calvary,  when  the  time  was  ripe, 

The  Rose  of  Sharon  blossomed  there!

HE 

Dearest  little  pelican, 

Just  say  you   will  be  mine, 
I  yield  me   to  your   whelming  charms, 

That  all  the   world  outshine. 

SHE 

But  why  should  I  be  singled  out 

As  fitter   than   the  rest? 
Which  charm  of  mine  attracted  you, 

And  made  you  like  me  best? 

HE 

I  /enow,    dear  bird,   you've    won   degrees, 

Your  learning  is   divine,

Sophomore  History 


TELL  of  a  Class  whose  members  have  assembled  from  every 

town  in  the  State,  and  whose  abilities  were  ne'er  surpassed. 

NSfeib      In    fact,    the    Sophomore    Class   may    well    be    considered   an 

f*J      example    of    what    the    Juniors    and    Seniors    would    like    for 

Up      their  past  lives  to  have  been;  and,   indeed,  we  are  told  that 

the  Preps  and  Freshmen  even  envy  us. 

Revolving  such  thoughts  in  our  minds,  we  have  determined  to  make  for 
ourselves  an  illustrious  record,  one  of  which  not  only  we  ourselves,  but  the 
College  as  well,  will  lie  justly  proud.  Let  us  look  at  our  past  lives  t<>  justify 
the  determination.  As  Freshmen,  we  worked  as  one  man.  ever  ready  to  do 
our  best.  The  professors,  in  order  to  encourage  us.  were  continually  com- 
plimenting us.  and  seeing  how  admirably  the  plan  worked,  have  just  contin- 
ued. Despite  all  this,  the  old  habit  of  "busting',"  which  belongs  to  every 
class,  still  pursued  us.  Simply  because  the  Seniors  had  attained  a  higher 
degree  of  wisdom  than  we  poor  "Freshies,"  they  decided  to  whip  us.  but  we 
In  ire  it  bravely.  Through  many  a  peri]  have  we  passed  and  by  each  we  were 
made  stronger. 

Now  we  are  Sophomores.  We  will  peep  into  the  various  class-rooms. 
In  "Trig."  the  Sophomores  are  so  brilliant  that  in  consideration  of  <>ur  intel- 
ligence Professor  Burton  even  ottered  to  jump  from  the  window  on  his  head, 
if — .  In  Chemistry,  regardless  of  the  difficulty  which  must  classes  have,  we 
looked  so  wise  that  our  professor  mentioned  it  to  the  Faculty.  Realizing  the 
prospect  for  short  stories  and  not  wishing  to  hurf  any  one's  feelings,  it  was 
decided  to  abandon  the  Collegian  for  this  year.  In  the  Literary  Societies  and 
in  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  the  Sophomores  hold  prominent  positions.  On  the  Purple 
and  White  and  the  Bobashela  Staff  we  have  had  representatives  for  two  years. 

Though  we  have  done  well  in  every  department,  yet  in  athletics  we  have 
excelled  everv  class,  and  now  we  are  the  proud  possessors  of  the  cup.  Such 
playing  as  the  Sophomores  did  was  never  seen,  even  on  Mount  Olympus. 
However,  much  of  our  success  is  due  to  our  efficient  coach.  Dr.   Kern. 

As  a  whole,  we  are  a  class  of  which  the  College  is  exceedingly  proud,  and 
let  us  hope  that  when  we  enter  life  as  individuals  we  will  make  equally  bril- 
liant records.

[N  September  29th,  1909,  many  new  men  hailed  from  hill  and 
dale  to  enter  Millsaps  College  and  quench  their  thirst  for 
learning.  At  the  sound  of  the  chapel  hell  we  scampered 
from  our  rooms  off  up  the  hill  to  the  Alain  Building,  where 
devotional  exercises  were  held.  We  entered  the  room,  not 
knowing  how  nor  where  to  go,  but  finally  were  seated  in  the 
spacious  Auditorium  directly  in  front  of  the  "wise  men."  After  a  somewhat 
lengthy  exercise,  the  several  announcements  were  made,  which  were  of  value 
to  the  old  men  hut  which  meant  very  little  to  the  Freshmen,  who,  of  course, 
had  to  ask  again  and  again  where  each  professor  was  to  be  found. 

We  found  the  professors  and  were  classified.  The  first  few  days  were 
spent  very  energetically;  no  one  had  half  enough  to  do.  and  all  were  really 
worried  about  how  we  would  spend  all  of  our  time.  However,  this  feeling 
soon  wore  away  and  our  only  fear  was  whether  each  of  us  had  time  to  do 
our  work.  The  thirst  for  knowledge  was  almost  forgotten  by  the  end  of  the 
second  week  and  many  of  us  began  to  think  of  home.  How  pleasant  would 
be  a  draught  of  water  from  the  old  spring  that  trickled  sparkling  clear  from 
beneath  the  shade  of  the  old  beech!  How  we  longed  to  sit  again  on  the 
back  porch  and  listen  to  the  charm  of  the  evening  mocking-bird  as  she  sang 
a  year  ago!  We  little  thought,  when  surrounded  by  this  bliss  of  nature,  how- 
happy  we  really  were  ;  and  we  longed  to  get  to  college  where  we  would  not 
have  to  work. 

But,  when  once  the  boys  had  learned  the  ways  of  the  college  man,  they 
made  a  wonderful  showing  in  almost  every  phase  of  college  life.  It  is  true 
that  we  had  no  football  team,  but  this  may  easily  be  explained.  There  are 
a  great  many  high  schools  in  this  State  and  Louisiana  which  have  no  foot- 
ball, and  the  new  men  who  were  versed  in  the  game  were  few:  however,  we 
furnished  several  of  the  Varsity  team. 

The  basket-ball  team  made  a  better  showing,  but  won  no  pronounced 
distinction.  The  baseball  team  has  not  had  an  opportunity  to  show  the  ex- 
cellent qualities  which  we  are  sure  it  possesses.  Though  the  Freshman  Class 
has  won  no  honors  on  the  athletic  field,  yet  we  are  sure  we  will.  It  has  been 
very  conspicuous  in  the  literary  societies,  and  it  has  made  a  place  in  the  his- 
tory of  Millsaps  College. 

Xow.  boys,  let's  determine  to  be  here  next  year.  The  man  who  drops 
out  will  be  missed,  but  he  will  miss  more  than  we  shall;  we  shall  be  dis- 
appointed if  any  one  fails  to  return.  Let's  all  shake  hands  again  in  the  Y.  M. 
C.  A.  hall  on   September  30th,   1010.

<Ibc  Xtterar\>  Societies 


-I  AT   is  the  greatest   single  factor  at   Millsaps  College  in   pre- 
paring students   for  their  life   work?     Were   we   called   upon 
this    question,    we    would    say    without    hesitation 


\  few  words  of  explanation 


to   answer 

that  it  is  the  literary  societies 

will    not   be   amiss,   since   possibly   the   societies   here   hold   a 

higher  and  more  valued  [dace  than  that  held  by  such  organ- 
izations at  similar  institutions. 

The  average  student  coming  to  college  is  unskilled  in  oratory,  the  art  of 
debating  and  public  speaking,  and  is  ignorant  of  all  forms  of  parliamentary 
usage.  He  lacks  grace  and  poise  on  the  floor  and  feels  embarrassed  when 
called  upon  to  express  himself  before  a  public  body. 

A  one-sided  man.  who  is  nothing  less  than  a  crank,  can  never  succeed. 
He  must  be  well  rounded,  having  all  of  his  faculties  equally  developed.  A 
man  may  leave  his  Alma  Afater  knowing  everything  that  can  be  gotten  from 
text-books,  yet,  unless  he  is  able  to  express  himself  and  put  his  knowledge 
into  practical  use,  he  is  a  failure.  For  one  to  be  a  success  he  must  be  able  to 
think  quickly  ami  concisely  while  on  his  feet.  He  must  be  able  to  maintain 
his  mental  equilibrium  while  being  attacked  by  his  opponents  and  to  think 
and  act  quickly  on  the  spur  of  the  moment. 

A  knowledge  of  parliamentary  rules  and  usages  is  invaluable.  The  soci- 
eties offer  unusual  advantages  for  attaining  this  knowledge.  The  same  par- 
liamentary rules  are  used  as  those  in  the  United  States  Congress  and  the 
members  are  thoroughly  drilled  and  acquainted  with  all  the  technical  points. 
Perhaps  the  most  valuable  course  outside  of  that  laid  down  in  the  curricu- 
lum is  the  four  years'  course  in  college  politics  which  the  societies  offer.  Here 
it  is  that  the  embryo  governors  and  senators  first  learn  the  shufflings  of  the 
political  cards.  Politics  is  made  reality  and  the  experience  thus  gained  fits 
a  student  for  the  great  political  problems  peculiar  to  either  Church  or  State. 
To  meet  these  needs,  the  literary  societies  were  organized. 

Of  these  organizations  we  have  four.  The  first  to  be  organized  was  the 
Galloway,  named  after  that  illustrious  divine  and  statesman,  Charles  Betts 
Galloway.     The  Society  showed  its  determination  ever  to  follow  the  example 


of  this  good  and  great  man  by  wisely  choosing  as  its  motto,  "Know  Thy 
Opportunity." 

This  Society  prospered  and  soon  became  a  great  factor  in  college  life.  At 
one  time  she  held  the  record  of  having  won  more  medals  for  the  same  length 
of  time  than  any  other  society  in  the  South.  Two  of  her  loyal  sons  took  both 
the  M.  I.  O.  A.  medals  and  the  Southern  Intercollegiate  honors. 

The  next  society  to  be  organized  was  the  Lamar,  named  in  memory  of 
our  own  Lamar,  whose  name  is  a  synonym  for  goodness  and  greatness. 
Along  with  her  sister  society,  the  Lamar  throve  rapidly,  holding  aloft  on 
her  banner  the  motto,  "Nulla  palma  sine  labore." 

For  the  last  five  years  she  has  sent  representatives  to  the  M.  I.  O.  A. 
contest  and  her  members  have  always  won  their  share  of  the  College  honors. 

The  students  in  the  Preparatory  Department,  seeing  the  good  to  be 
derived  from  societies  and  feeling  some  embarrassment  at  taking  part  in  the 
two  societies  composed  of  older  students,  determined  to  organize  a  society 
composed  wholly  of  "preps."  The  organization  was  promptly  effected  and  it 
was  named  in  honor  of  the  brilliant  Prentiss. 

From  the  beginning,  much  interest  has  been  manifested  in  its  workings 
and  it  has  done  much  to  create  a  live  interest  in  speaking  and  debating. 
Another  result  of  it  has  been  the  offering  of  a  gold  medal  at  Commencement 
to  the  best  speaker  in  the  preparatory  classes. 

The  Co-eds.,  ever  alive  to  their  own  interest  as  well  as  to  the  welfare  of 
the  College,  felt  the  need  of  some  organization  whereby  they  might  train 
themselves  in  declaiming,  education  and  in  literary  research.  As  a  result, 
the  Minnehaha  Society  was  organized.  Meeting  weekly,  with  every  Co-ed. 
as  a  member,  the  Society  is  doing  a  great  work.  The  Secretary  prepares  an 
excellent  program  for  each  meeting,  and  marked  progress  is  being  made.

INTERMEZZO 


In  Arcadie  the  pipes  o'  Pan  sound  soft,  and  clear,  and  low, 
In  Arcadie  the  sunlight  shines  and  gentle  breezes  blow, 
And  ringing,  singing  down  the  glades  there  comes  the  Dryad's  cal 
With  "tirra,  lirra"  through  the  trees.     Ah!  you  have  heard  it  all. 

And  now  you  are  in  Arcadie,  nay,  never  look  around, 

For  he  will  wake  who  looks  behind, 

And  he  who  wakes  will  never  find 
The  groves  again  of  Arcadie.     (Hush!  't  is  a  magic  sound.) 

In  Arcadie  the  gods  are  good  and  Fate  is  very  fair. 
Tomorrow  as  Today  shall  be  while  through  the  flowers  ye  fare; 
And  never  Yesterday  shall  smile,  and  point,  and  smile  again — 
The  Lotus  Flower  blossoms  there,  whereby  to  banish  pain. 

So  rest  you  soft  in  Arcadie  (see,  the  bright  river  runs 

So  fast  away),  and  watch  the  glow 

Of  moons  of  opal,  clouds  of  snow, 
And  blazing  suns  (in  Arcadie  there  are  no  setting  suns). 

Straight  runs  the  road  to  Arcadie,  ah!  straight,  and  very  long. 
One  can  not  see  the  groves  of  Pan,  nor  hear  the  Dryad's  song. 
One  is  so  tired,  and  one  must  rest.     Here  blooms  no  Lotus  Flower, 
And  one  remembers  Arcadie — Arcadie  for  an  hour. 

I'm  glad  you  are  in  Arcadie.     (Nay,  do  not  look  at  Care, 

But  watch  the  water's  rippling  waves 

And  hear  old  Pan  play  merry  staves), 
I'm  glad  you  are  in  Arcadie.     (God  keep  you  happy  there.) 

Ichabod  Crane.

Gbc  professor,  tbe  (Sirl  ano  tbc  Grout 


T  was  August.  The  warm  summer  sun  beat  down  caressingly 
upon  the  little  hostelry  perched  high  on  the  side  of  the  moun- 
tain, half  hidden  in  the  trees.  The  Inn  was  an  old-time,  two- 
story  building,  surrounded  on  all  sides  by  a  spacious  gallery 
where  the  guests  were  wont  to  assemble  and  enjoy  the  ex- 
hilarating air  and  superb  scenery.  In  the  front  of  the  Inn, 
though  farther  down  the  valley,  dashed  a  sparkling  little  rock-strewn  stream 
of  some  twenty  feet  in  width.  Behind,  the  mountain  rose  sheer  three  hun- 
dred feet,  ending  in  a  hopeless  tangle  of  sandstone  and  brambles.  In  the  val- 
ley below,  but  a  little  distance  above  the  hotel,  was  the  pool,  pure,  cold  and 
deep,  a  noble  home  for  a  noble  fish. 

Into  this  angler's  heaven,  by  purest  chance,  wandered  Gordon  Campbell, 
our  hero.  Gordon  was  a  true  representative  of  the  old  South,  well  fixed  in 
this  world's  goods  and,  above  all,  a  master  angler,  lie  received  a  cordial 
handshake  from  old  Craighead,  the  proprietor,  and  having  been  introduced 
to  those  sitting  on  the  porch,  was  soon  made  to  feel  perfectly  at  home.  After 
a  hasty  bath  and  a  change  of  linen,  he  rejoined  the  group  on  the  veranda. 
There  he  entered  into  a  very  interesting  fish  talk  with  one  of  his  new-found 
friends,  a  certain  Colonel  Warren,  a  rheumatic,  formerly  a  veritable  Prince 
of  Anglers. 

When  supper  was  over,  the  Colonel  introduced  Gordon  to  his  daughter, 
and — Bingo !  he  was  in  love.  After  the  first  shock  was  over,  all  was  plain 
sailing;  they  swapped  experiences,  talked  of  each  other  and  the  hotel.  When 
lie  had  completely  won  her  confidence,  she  told  him  that  she  was  in 
great  trouble.  Her  father  had  used  every  possible  means  to  catch  a  certain 
old  trout  which  had  for  years  defied  the  utmost  endeavors  of  every  one,  and 
one  night  when  the  crowd  was  a  trifle  full,  some  one  jocosely  asked  the  Col- 
onel what  he  would  give  for  the  fish.  To  which  banter  the  Colonel  replied 
that  he  would  give  that  which  he  prized  more  than  anything  on  earth.  This 
they  naturally  took  to  mean  his  daughter,  and  from  that  time  on  old  Speckle 
had  been  constantly  besieged  by  eager  fishermen,  some  infatuated  by  her 
own  personal  charms,  and  others  by  the  Colonel's  bank  account. 

The  next  morning  Gordon  set  out  for  the  pool.  When  he  arrived  there 
he  saw  a  clerical-looking  old  gentleman  sitting  gingerly  on  a  rock,  holding 
in  one  hand  an  old  cane  pole,  while  in  the  other  he  held  a  book  which  he  was 
perusing  eagerly.  Gordon  bade  him  good-morning,  and  receiving  an  indiffer- 
ent reply,  calmly  ignored  him.  and  proceeded  to  unpack  his  tackle.     He  care- 


90 


fully  selected  a  fly  and  prepared  to  east.  A  single  twist  of  the  wrist,  a  low 
whirr  of  the  reel,  and  the  fly  sailed  clean  and  true.  One  beautiful  cast  after 
another,  but  all  to  no  avail ;  then  he  began  to  change  his  flies  until  all  were 
gone.  He  tried  a  grasshopper  and,  in  fact,  every  device  and  trick  known  to 
anglers,  but  old  Speckle  would  not  be  coaxed.  Just  as  he  left,  however,  as 
if  in  disdain,  the  great  fish  rose,  gracefully  cleared  the  water,  a  huge  animate 
flash  against  a  deep  emerald  background.  Me  stood  for  a  minute  enthralled, 
marveling,  but  then  his  wonder  changed  to  deep  heartfelt  determination  as 
he  slowly  wended  his  way  homeward. 

Two  weeks  passed  by  ;  he  visited  the  pool  daily,  but  was  not  so  fortunate 
as  even  to  see  his  Majesty.  Gordon  was  in  desperation,  the  girl  in  tears.  He 
proposed  elopement,  but  she  would  not  consent.  Then  he  appealed  to  her 
father's  common  sense,  and  she  to  his  affections,  but  all  to  no  avail,  as  it 
seemed  that  the  Colonel  would  not  break  his  word  of  honor. 

One  morning,  after  he  had  been  casting  steadily  for  several  hours,  he 
decided  that  he  had  enough  of  it  all;  that  the  old  man  was  a  crank,  and  the 
girl  a  flirt.  As  he  was  reeling  in  his  line  it  caught  on  a  floating  twig  and  he 
gave  it  a  vicious  jerk.  It  broke  loose  and  struck  him  a  stinging  blow  in  the 
face.  Infuriated,  he  snapped  the  leader  in  two  and  hurled  the  flv  with  all  of 
his  might  into  the  middle  of  the  pool.  He  did  not  know  that  after  he  left  the 
big  fish  rose  and  took  his  fly,  or  that  the  old  Professor,  sitting  on  the  bank, 
had  observed  it  and  made  this  great  discovery — that  old  Speckle  would  not 
take  a  fly  which  was  attached  to  a  visible  line.  It  was  the  work  of  a  few- 
moments  to  hollow  out  a  cork  and  fill  it  with  several  feet  of  heavy  silk  line. 
Then  he  fastened  one  end  firmly  to  the  cork,  the  other  to  the  fly,  which  hung 
on  the  side  of  the  cork  as  if  attempting  to  climb  it.  lie  pushed  the  cork  out 
into  the  pond  and  waited.  It  worked  like  a  charm  ;  the  big  fish  rose,  struck 
it  and  disappeared,  trailing  the  line.  He  reached  for  the  cork  with  his  pole, 
but  it  was  jerked  rudely  out  of  his  reach  and  whirled  frantically  in  every  di- 
rection in  the  pool.     He  then  ran  to  the  hotel  for  help. 

Gordon,  in  the  meantime,  was  walking  disconsolately  homeward.  He  had 
made  up  his  mind  to  leave  that  very  night  and  forget  it  all,  and  doubtless  he 
would  have  done  so  had  he  not  seen  Old  "Foureyes"  rushing  franticallv 
through  the  woods.  His  suspicions  were  aroused  and  he  hastened  back  to  the 
pool.  There,  in  the  middle,  was  the  cork,  lashing  the  water  as  if  infested  by 
some  demon.  He  took  in  the  situation  at  a  glance  and  dived  into  the  pool, 
quickly  gained  the  cork,  and  swimming,  towed  his  prize  to  the  bank.  Twenty 
minutes  later,  he  was  the  happiest  man  in  nineteen  states.  Motto :  A  little 
swimming  is  better  than  great  learning.

J^oung  flDcn's  Christian  association 


IE  most  potent   factor  in   the  spiritual   life  at   College   is  the 
Young-  Men's  Christian  Association. 

The  supreme  object  of  our  Association  is  to  unite  all  stu- 
dents who  desire  to  strengthen  the  spiritual  life  and  influence 
of  the  College ;  to  promote  growth  in  Christian  character, 
and  fellowship  in  aggressive  Christian  work;  to  train  its 
members  for  Christian  service,  and  to  lead  them  to  devote  their  lives  to  Jesus 
Christ  where  they  may  accomplish  the  most  for  the  kingdom  of  God. 

(  )ne  of  our  greatest  advantages  this  year  is  that  we  had  the  State  Bible 
Study  Institute  here  in  our  own  hall  at  the  beginning  of  the  session.  This 
Institute  was  composed  of  delegates  from  all  the  colleges  of  the  State  and 
some  few  from  the  most  prominent  high  schools ;  in  addition  to  these 
there  were  the  strongest  leaders  in  Southern  V.  M.  C.  A.  work.  The  new 
inspiration  received  from  this  Convention,  together  with  the  enthusiasm  and 
training  that  our  delegates,  D.  R.  \Yasson  and  R.  E.  Steen,  received  at  the 
International  Student  Volunteer  Convention,  at  Rochester,  Xew  York,  has 
made  our  Association  capable  of  doing  a  greater  work  in  Bible  and  Mission 
Study  than  it  has  ever  before  done. 

The  crowning  beauty  of  the  Association  is  that  it  has  a  care  for  the  whole 
man — mental,  physical  and  spiritual.  Where  the  work  counts  for  most,  how- 
ever, is  in  the  moral  culture  and  uplift.  In  the  bi-weekly  devotional  meetings 
the  speakers  discuss  such  practical  questions  as  will  not  fail  to  bear  directly 
or  indirectly  on  the  character  of  each  man  present.  From  a  systematic  study 
of  the  Bible  and  a  world  of  missions  we  learn  of  the  principles  of  Christianity 
and  our  obligation  to  the  heathen.  Excellent  opportunities  are  afforded 
throughout  the  whole  session  for  personal  work,  but,  during  the  spring  cam- 
paign, special  efforts  are  made  to  deepen  the  spiritual  life  and  lead  the  un- 
saved to  Christ. 

Thus  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  attempts  to  reach  every  man  in  College,  no  matter 
how  indifferent  he  may  be  toward  religion.  Under  the  capable  leaders  that 
we  have,  we  can  not  and  will  not  fail.

£be  Eve  of  St.  IDalcntinc 


"St.  Agues'  Ere — Ah,  bitter  chill  it  was!" 

i  OWARD  the  close  of  the  afternoon  of  February  13th,  Eliza- 
beth Anne  stood  at  an  upper  window  in  one  of  the  line  of 
comfortable-looking,  vine-clad  houses  known  to  the  univer- 
sity students  as  Professors'  Row,  and  peered  out  upon  the 
winter  landscape.  Through  the  bare  trees  of  the  campus  she 
could  discern  the  huge  hulk  of  Academic  Hall,  with  its  two 
tall  towers  half  hidden  by  the  swirling  snowrlakes.  which  eddied  around  them 
at  the  will  of  the  wind.  For  a  moment  she  tried  to  see  the  hands  upon  the 
clock  in  the  nearest  tower,  hut  the  storm  proved  too  dense.  "Surely  the 
weather  man  has  been  disappointed  in  love,"  she  reflected.  A  sudden  gust  of 
wind,  stronger  than  usual,  whirled  the  snowflakes  in  wild  confusion  ;  the  win- 
dow rattled,  and  the  ivy  seemed  to  shiver  and  shrink  closer  to  the  protecting 
wall  of  the  house.  "It  looks  more  like  St.  Nicholas's  weather  than  St.  Val- 
entine's, and  as  for  poor  little  Cupid — ugh  !  it  makes  one  fairly  shiver  even 
tn  think  of  his  having  to  he  out  in  such  weather  as  this." 

As  she  turned  from  the  window  her  eye  was  caught  by  a  glow  of  color  on 
the  opposite  side  of  the  rapidly  darkening  room.  She  took  the  roses  up  one 
I>v  one,  and  sinking  with  her  fragrant  armful  into  an  easy  chair  before  the 
fire,  was  soon  lost  in  contemplation  of  their  exquisite  coloring,  the  dusky  red 
of  which  blended  well  with  her  own  clear,  dark  complexion.  From  the  roses 
her  thoughts  turned  to  their  sender,  and  she  remembered  her  indefinite  en- 
gagement with  him  for  the  evening  and  wondered  to  what  extent  his  gift 
might  be  considered  the  forerunner  of  a  proposal.  Her  conclusion,  born  of 
an  experience  that  included  not  only  many  Cupid's  days,  but  also  many  Com- 
mencements and  rare  nights  in  June,  was  that  all  the  omens  indicated  this 
night  as  the  fateful  time — at  any  rate  she  would  be  gowned  to  suit  the  occa- 
sion should  it  arise.  Several  hours  later,  at  the  sound  of  the  bell,  there  was 
a  rustle  from  above  as  of  wings,  and  Elizabeth  Anne,  enveloped  in  a  diaph- 
anous cloud  of  silk  and  white  chiffon,  a  couple  of  roses  at  her  belt,  floated 
down  the  wide  stairway. 

"I'm  so  glad  you've  come  early."  she  said,  as  she  opened  the  door.     As  the 


100 


visitor  came  into  the  hall  shaking  the  snow  from  a  long,  heavy  overcoat,  she 
started  back  involuntarily. 

"You  !" 

"Yes,  me,"  lie  answered,  coming'  forward  smiling  and  with  outstretched 
hand.  "How  are  you?"  He  hung  his  hat  and  coat  on  the  rack  and,  like  one 
familiar  with  his  surroundings,  turned  toward  the  parlor. 

"This  is  not  a  very  cheerful  reception  1  am  giving  you,"  she  said  as  she 
reached  up  to  turn  on  the  light.  "Everybody  has  gone  to  the  lecture,  and  I 
alone  am  left  to — to  do  the  duties  of  host,"  she  concluded  hurriedly. 

"1  have  no  fault  to  find  with  the  reception,  provided  von  do  not  change 
it  by  turning  on  the  light.  The  firelight  and  the  light  from  the  hall  will  do, 
won't  they?     But  why  are  you  not  at  the  lecture,  too?" 

"Oh,  it's  too  cold  for  me,"  she  answered  lightly,  "and  besides,  I'd  rather 
stay  here  and  talk  to  you." 

"Very  kind  of  you.  I'm  sure,  but  I  am  inclined  to  doubt — " 

"Now  render  an  account  of  yourself,"  she  interrupted.  "Ulysses  has  re- 
turned from  his  four  years'  wandering,  and  1  wonder  what  marvelous  adven- 
tures he  has  passed  through,  what  Circes'  allurements  he  has  withstood,  and 
whether  he  has  as  yet  listened  to  some  siren's  voice?" 

"And  does  he  return  to  find  Penelope  perplexed  with  many  suitors  as  of 
yore  ?" 

"Looks  like  it,  doesn't  it?"  she  replied,  giving  a  comprehensive  glance  over 
the  empty  twilight  room.  "But  don't  talk  about  me;  tell  me  about  yourself. 
Where  did  you  come  from  and  what  did  you  come  for?" 

"Why,  to  see  you,  of  course." 

Her  surprise  and  pleasure  at  seeing  him  had  not  quite  crowded  from  Eliz- 
abeth  Anne's  mind  her  thoughts  of  the  afternoon,  and  this,  together  with  the 
interest  that  a  woman  always  takes  in  a  man  who  has  once  proposed  to  her, 
may  have  caused  her  to  suspect  a  hidden  meaning  in  what  had  in  reality  been 
merely  a  jesting  answer.  A  troubled  look  came  into  her  face,  and  if  we  cen- 
sure her  for  allowing  the 'moth  and  candle  idea  to  Hit  through  her  mind,  we 
must  at  least  give  her  the  credit  of  a  sincere  resolve  to  save  the  moth  a  second 
singeing.  She  moved  slightly  and  repeated  with  more  insistence  than  the 
question  seemed  to  require, 

"But  sure  enough,  what  did  you  come  for?" 

Conant  guessed  the  meaning  of  her  nervous  movement  and  of  the  impa- 
tience in  her  question.  His  friends  believed  that  he  had  forgot  his  college 
love  affair  with  the  President's  daughter,  and  he  intended  that  Elizabeth  Anne 
should  believe  it  also — there  was  no  use  in  making  his  visit  unpleasant  to  both 
of  them.     As  for  himself,  he  had  learned  to  accept  his  fate  with  philosophic 

1(11 


good-nature.  There  would  at  least  he  no  harm  in  tantalizing  her  a  bit,  and 
so  he  replied  with  a  serious  smile, 

"I  really  came  to  see  you." 

The  remark  did  not  demand  an  answer  and  she  made  none.  Though  she 
had  heard  from  him  only  at  long  intervals  since  his  graduation,  she  had  often 
wondered  in  a  vague  way  just  why  she  had  refused  him.  Perhaps  the  blame 
should  have  been  laid  upon  her  environment,  the  kaleidoscopic  change  of  col- 
lege life,  and  the  continual  shifting  of  friendships  which  the  return  of  each 
session  had  brought;  perhaps  some  other  Senior,  now  forgotten,  had  occupied 
more  of  her  thoughts  at  that  particular  time;  perhaps  she  had  thought  he  had 
not  meant  it;  or  perhaps,  in  the  suddenness  and  excitement  of  her  first  pro- 
posal, she  had  not  really  known  her  own  heart.  It  was  to  this  last  explanation 
that  she  usually  returned,  if  not  with  genuine  regret,  at  least  with  something 
very  near  akin  ti  i  it. 

The  shadows  of  old  memories  darkened  her  eyes  and  cast  their  spell  over 
her,  carrying  her  back  into  the  days  when,  hand  in  hand,  the  best  of  friends 
and  capital  comrades,  they  had  romped  through  the  Freshman  year,  and  so 
on  through  all  the  varying  light  and  shade  of  their  college  days,  until  one 
quiet  June  night.  She  could  still  hear  the  faint  notes  of  the  violins,  softened 
1>\  the  distance,  as  they  wailed  out  the  Miserere  of  //  Trovatore ;  and  she  re- 
membered that  the  voices  of  the  promenaders  had  reached  her  as  a  whispered 
hum  mingled  with  snatches  of  gay  laughter  from  some  mystic  fairy-land  all 
aglow  with  many-colored  lights.  I  lis  faltering  attempts  to  lead  up  to  the  sub- 
ject, at  first  misunderstood;  her  frightened  endeavor  to  prevent  the  confes- 
sion ;  and  then  the  sudden  rush  of  his  broken  sentences  and  low,  tense  voice  ; 
the  few  words  of  explanation;  the  pause;  and  then  the  parting,  "always  to  be 
good  friends," — all  the  details  of  her  first  proposal  came  before  her.  and  lost 
in  reverie,  she  was  glad  without  knowing  why. 

Conant  had  been  indulging  in  reveries  too,  and  the  past,  intensified  into 
"what  might  have  been"  by  the  present  comfortable  scene,  came  strongly  be- 
fore him.  Apparently,  he  was  watching  with  idle  interest  two  small  twigs, 
which  after  blazing  merrily  up  had  sparkled  out  their  short  existence,  and 
over  whose  glowing  core  a  dull,  ashen  gray  was  now  slowly  creeping.  As  the 
twigs  crumbled  he  roused  himself  and  added  apologetically. 

"The  heat  of  an  open  fire  is  about  the  nearest  thing  1  know  to  the  'poppied 
warmth'  of  sleep.  I  remember  that  it  used  to  affect  me  somewhat  similarly 
when  1  was  here  during  our  college  days;  at  any  rate,  we  often  didn't  have 
much  to  say." 

"Yes,"  she  replied  mechanically.  "When  does  your  train  leave?"  In  her 
haste  to  turn  the  conversation  as  far  as  possible  from  their  former  friendship 

liii 


she  had  not  noticed  until  too  late  the  seeming  discourtesy  in   her  question. 

The  man  smiled  quizzically  at  her  and  started  to  reply,  but  was  interrupted 
by  her  hurried  apology. 

Her  blushes  deepened  with  her  confusion,  and  in  her  eagerness  to  explain 
her  mistake  the  slight  formality  of  her  bearing-  toward  him,  which  had  been 
momently  becoming  more  difficult  to  maintain,  dissolved  as  if  it  had  been  a 
cloud.  She  felt  in  an  indefinite  way  that  she  owed  him  amends  for  her  un- 
gracious remark,  and  this  seemed  to  her  to  lie  the  easiest  way  to  make  them — 
so  easy,  in  fact,  that  she  did  not  stop  to  debate  the  question,  but  drifted  almost 
without  volition  back  to  their  old-time  relation,  and  took  up  their  friendship 
as  easily  as  if  the  four  intervening  years  had  not  been. 

In  the  midst  of  her  explanations,  the  university  clock  with  storm-muffled 
strokes  told  the  hour  of  eight.  The  bell  seemed  a  long  way  off.  and  both  of 
them  ceased  talking  and  leaned  slightly  forward,  listening  intently  and  softly 
counting  each  stroke  under  their  breath  as  the  sound  came  dully  through  the 
wind  and  snow.     There  was  a  slight  pause  after  the  last  stroke. 

"Eight,"  he  said,  straightening  up;  "and  since  the  amendment  to  your 
previous  question,  one  more  hour  of  grace.  But  you,"  he  continued,  resu- 
ming the  conversation  at  the  point  where  it  had  ceased,  "do  you  usually  array 
yourself  in  silks  and  satins  upon  the  mere  probability  of  a  chance  caller,  and 
on  such  a  night  as  this?  I  dare  not  hope  that  my  good  fair}'  gave  you  thoughts 
of  me  and  wdiispered  that  I  might  come.  My  good  fairy  has  left  me — if,  in- 
deed, I  ever  had  one.  Had  I  not  been  so  deeply  concerned  with  my  own  pleas- 
ure, past  experience  would  have  warned  me  ere  this  that  you  are  expecting 
another  caller  here  tonight.  Upon  whom,  may  1  ask,  has  my  worthy  mantle 
fallen,  and  when  may  we  expect  his  arrival?" 

He  had  expected  a  playful  reproof,  or  at  least  a  protest,  but  she  merely 
replied, 

"I  have  no  definite  engagement  for  tonight  and — and  1  hope  that  there 
will  be  no  callers." 

"Thank  you,  so  do  I.  But  I  don't  deserve  any  such  good  fortune — do  you 
know  that  this  is  St.  Valentine's  Eve?" 

"Yes."  A  faint  wave  of  color  swept  over  her  face  as  she  remembered  the 
roses  in  the  corner  of  the  room. 

"Who  is  he,  Lizbeth?     I  am  interested  in  him." 

"1  don't  believe  he  exists,  Dick."  she  said  slowly. 

"Of  course  not !  And  I  suppose  if  it  were  any  other  person  than  me  to 
whom  you  were  talking,  you  would  maintain  that  he  never  did  exist."  He 
paused  a  moment,  but  she  gave  no  sign  of  annoyance.     The  silence  intensified 

103 


the  roar  oi  the  storm  outside.     Listening  to  it,  he  quoted  mure  to  himself  than 
to  her: 

"Never  on  such  a  night  have  lovers  met, 
*  the   frost-wind   blows 

Like  Line's  alarum  pattering  the  sharp  sleet 
Against  the  window-panes;  St.  Valentine's  moon  hath  set!" 

"Valentine's  Day  seems  to  be  <>n  your  mind." 

"No;  just  a  hit  of  'The  Eve  of  St.  Agnes'  that  has  been  running  in  my 
head  all  daw  Hut  perhaps  it's  on  your  mind,  too;  didn't  he  send  you  any 
valentine?" 

"Neither  did  you,"  she  returned,  and  wondered  at  the  impulse  which  made 
her  ashamed  to  confess  the  roses  which  she  was  wearing. 

"Why,   I   have  brought  myself."  he  laughed.     "Will  you  accept  the  gift?" 

"Yes,"  she  responded  simply. 

Hitherto  it  had  been  with  him  the  true  word  which  is  spoken  in  jest,  and 
he  had  taken  a  grim  pleasure  in  the  double  entendre.  Something  in  her  reply, 
perhaps  the  tone  of  her  voice,  reminded  him  that  two  might  play  at  the  same 
game.  Yet  he  hardly  dared  to  hope;  still  less  to  reason,  for  that  would  hut 
emphasize  his  folly,  lie  looked  at  her  eagerly,  wistfully,  and  if  she  had  had 
any  lingering  doubt  as  to  the  continuance  ol  his  love  for  her  it  vanished  in 
the  moment.  With  a  woman's  intuition  in  matters  of  the  heart,  she  saw,  even 
before  he  himself  was  fully  aware  of  it.  what  was  coming,  and  instinctively 
assumed  the  defensive. 

lie  rose  from  the  chair  and  bent  over  her.  She  shrank  hack  and  put  out 
her  hand  as  if  in  defense.  "No,  Lick — no,  not  vet."  For  in  Dick's  eves  there 
shone  the  look  of  the  castaway  who  after  long  and  weary  watching  catches 
the  first  glimpse  of  a  sail  afar  oft'.  There  was  no  sound  in  all  the  house  save 
the  crackling  of  the  oak  logs  in  the  fireplace;  a  sudden  gust  rattled  the  win- 
dows fiercely  and  drove  the  snowtlakes  past  the  house  in  a  hurrying  cloud.. 
Both  of  them  glanced  involuntarily  toward  the  window  and  thought  of  the 
storm  outside. 

"Sudden  a  thought  came  like  a  full-blown  rose. 
Flushing  his  brow,  and  in  his  pained  heart 
.Made  purple  riot." 

From  out  of  Keats's  love  storv  of  "ages  long  ago"  there  came  before  him 
the  image  of  "young  Porphyro  with  heart  on  fire  for  Madeline." 
"J  lark!  'tis  an  elfin  storm  from  faery  land. 
Of  haggard  seeming,  hut  a  boon  indeed: 


104 


Let  us  away,  my  love,  with  happy  speed; 
There  arc  no  ears  to  hear  nor  eyes  to  see." 

'The  key  turns,  and  the  door  upon  its  hinges  groans," 

'And  they  are  gone — 

These  lovers  tied  away  into  the  storm."

Gbe  IkiMkat  Club 


lEALIZING  the  man}-  benefits  to  be  gained  from  literary  fel- 
lowship and  wishing  to  awaken  in  the  College  an  enthusiastic 
interest  in  literary  aims  and  ideals,  Dr.  A.  A.  Kern,  in  No- 
vember, 1909,  formed  the  Kit-Kat  Club,  which  had  for  its 
object  the  promotion  of  these  ends.  The  Club  soon  saw  that 
affiliation  with  Sigma  Upsilon,  whose  ideals  were  similar  to 
their  own,  would  not  only  give  them  national  prestige  but  would  greatly  aid 
them  in  carrying  out  their  plans.  They  therefore  petitioned  the  General  Coun- 
cil of  Sigma  Upsilon  for  a  charter,  which  was  granted  them  in  February,  1910; 
its  reception,  thanks  to  the  hospitality  of  Dr.  G.  D.  Davidson,  was  duly  cele- 
brated at  the  Royal  Falstaff  Cafe  on  the  evening  of  February  25th. 

Sigma  Upsilon  was  founded  at  the  University  of  the  South  in  1906,  and 
from  the  beginning  has  made  its  requirements  for  admission  so  strict  that 
membership  therein  is  universally  regarded  as  a  much-coveted  honor.  The 
Millsaps  chapter  takes  its  name  from  a  literary  club  of  the  age  of  Queen  Anne 
which  met  at  the  tavern  of  Christopher  Kat — whence  its  name — and  which 
numbered  among  its  members  Addison,  Steele,  Congreve,  Dryden,  Pope,  and 
many  another  eighteenth-century  writer.  By  an  odd  coincidence  the  Kit-Kat 
Club,  whose  membership  was  limited  to  seven,  formed  the  seventh  chapter  of 
Sigma  Upsilon.  Thus  far  its  success  in  stimulating  literary  appreciation  and 
endeavor  and  in  furthering  literal"}-  comradeship  has  been  remarkable  and 
augurs  well  for  the  future  influence  of  the  Club  upon  the  literary  life  at 
Millsaps.

ALMA  MATER     MILLSAPS 

Air,   "My  Bonnie" 

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. 

CHORUS 
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  white  of  her  banner 
Are  cherished  wherever  we  go. 

And  when  in  the  years  of  the  future 
Fond  memory  turns  to  the  past, 

The  days  that  we  spent  at  old  Millsaps 
Will  yet  be  the  brightest  at  last.

Loyal  sons  are  we ; 
Our  fond  hearts  are  thine  alone 

And  evermore  shall  be. 

Proud  art  thou  in  classic  beauty 

Of  thy  noble  past, 
With  thy  watchwords,  Honor,  Duty, 

Thy  high  fame  shall  last. 

Ever  swiftly  and  more  swiftly 

Time  goes  fleeting  by, 
Still  abides  our  love  for  Millsaps, 

It  can  never  die.

athletics 


nIE  present  session  has  been  a  highly  successful  one  from  an 
athletic  view-point.  Much  of  this  success  is  due  to  Professor 
S.  G.  Noble,  who  lias  labored  with  untiring  energy  for  high- 
class,  spirited  athletics  at  Millsaps.  It  has  been  due  to  him 
that  the  schedules  have  been  posted  on  time,  that  the  various 
managers  have  done  their  work  properly,  and  that  the  affairs 
of  the  Athletic  Association  have  been  conducted  on  a  firm  and  business-like 
basis.  It  was  also  through  the  efforts  of  Professor  Noble  that  Millsaps  has 
been  allowed  to  participate  in  the  intercollegiate  track  meet  at  the  State  Ora- 
torical Contest. 

At  the  opening  of  the  football  season  the  Freshman  and  Junior  Classes 
failed  to  put  teams  in  the  field,  thus  leaving  the  Seniors,  the  Sophs  and  the 
Preps  to  contest  fur  the  cup.  Professor  Noble  took  charge  of  his  Preps  early 
in  the  year,  and  began  to  explain  to  them  that  a  football  was  an  inflated  oval, 
that  it  would  not  bite,  and  that  they  need  not  be  afraid  of  breaking  it  by  fall- 
ing on  it.  Since  Dr.  Kern's  two-time  champions  had  disbanded,  he  was  in- 
duced to  coach  the  Sophomores,  who  were  anxious  to  atone  for  their  igno- 
minious record  of  '08.  The  Seniors  were  confident  of  victory,  but  merely  "for 
the  looks  of  the  thing"  they  invited  Professor  Burton  to  coach  them;  and  in 
a  very  few  afternoons  the  "new-professor"  informed  them  in  unmistakable 
language  that  they  did  not  know  the  rudiments  of  the  game  and  that  if  they 
expected  to  make  a  showing  in  the  race  worthy  of  their  name  and  Class,  they 
would  be  compelled  to  show  a  marked  improvement.  The  truth  of  this  proph- 
ecy was  afterwards  demonstrated. 

In  the  first  game  it  was  seen  that  the  Sophs,  of  whom  very  little  had  been 
expected,  were  going  to  finish  strong,  and  it  was  freely  predicted  that  they 
would  have  to  be  reckoned  with  before  the  close  of  the  season.  The  prediction 
gradually  became  a  fact  with  each  succeeding  game,  and  when  the  schedule 
was  completed  the  cup  was  awarded  to  the  team  of  '12,  who  had  gone  through 
the  season  without  a  single  defeat.  Varsity  material  was  very  plentiful,  and 
the  committee  could  have  selected  two  Varsity  teams  of  almost  equal  strength. 
The  team  which  was  selected  is  a  representative  one  and  with  proper  coach- 


140 


ing  could  hold  its  own  with  the  best.  The  games  were  played  on  the  new 
athletic  field  and  were,  without  an  exception,  well  attended.  It  would  be  no 
exaggeration  to  say  that  the  past  football  season  was  the  most  successful  since 
class  games  were  instituted  at  Millsaps. 

After  a  lapse  of  two  years,  interclass  basket-ball  was  resumed  and  for  the 
first  time  every  class  was  represented  by  a  team.  The  schedule  was  short 
enough  and  the  games  were  close  enough  to  keep  interest  and  enthusiasm 
keyed  up  to  the  highest  pitch.  The  Preps,  by  hard  practice  and  consistent 
work,  made  the  highest  percentage  and  won  the  pennant.  Professor  Swartz 
has  put  new  life  into  tennis  since  he  took  charge  of  the  club.  There  are  more 
tennis  players  in  college  now,  and  more  interest  is  taken  in  the  game,  than  at 
any  previous  time  in  our  history.  In  baseball  the  Freshman  Class  has  an 
abundance  of  first-class  material  and  at  present  promises  to  be  the  favorite 
in  the  contest  for  the  class  championship.  Preparations  arc  also  being  made 
for  Field  Day,  and  Professor  Noble  is  also  hard  at  work  upon  the  candidates 
for  track  honors  both  here  and  at  the  M.  I.  O.  A.  contest. 

By  way  of  conclusion,  a  word  of  praise  should  be  accorded  Professor 
Noble,  Professor  Burton  and  Dr.  Kern  for  the  enthusiasm  and  interest  with

.22     CALIBER     AUTOMATIC     RIFLE 

This  wonderful  little  rifle  is  in  a  class  by  itself  for  pleasure  and  sport.  After 
loading  it  all  that  it  is  necessary  to  do  to  shoot  ten  times  is  to  pull  the  trigger 
for  each  shot,  as  the  recoil  of  the  exploded  cartridge  operates  the  repeating 
mechanism.  The  use  of  this  rifle  develops  accuracy  of  aim  when  shooting 
rapidly,  an  accomplishment  all  hunters  strive  for.  For  city,  country  or  camp 
the  .22  Automatic  is  very  handy.     To  fully  appreciate  it  you  should  shoot  it.
