AN INTRODUCTION to this important personage would be superfluous,
for his musical voice has reverberated in the halls of this old College for
nearly a decade of years. Why embarrass him by presenting him to the
reading public as Mr. Schepmoes, when he is so very familiraly known as "Schep."
and also by his soubriquet, "The Devourer of Books"? 'Tis true you can judge
a man by the books he peruses, but "Schep" cannot be diagnosed in this way, for
he reads everything from Herrick's Epigrams to the St. James Bible. Charles
is an exceptional student, capable of passing any course in the curriculum, and
having no mean ability as a debater and as a writer of trashy articles. En outre
"Schep's" main asset for his popularity in college is his affability, his good heart-
edness and pleasing smile. A success awaits him whatever career he enters, and
a host of friends will boast of his name among their number.

44OKIP" did you say? Yes, "Skip." Do you know anyone else around
/^ our venerable College who carries with him such an air of magnanimity,
kindliness, and condescension? Do you know anyone else who takes a
ticket so various and maintains an A standard "in toto"? Just look "who he is :
A. M. Senior, Editor of the Lilerary Magazine, Assistant in Chemistry, President
of the Athletic Association, member of the German Club, Spotswood, etc., etc.
This personality, popularly known by all as "Skip," is none other than Percy
Lewis Witchley, the poet, prose writer, "curler," "heart-grinder," scientist, doctor;
in brief, the impelling, dynamic force behind practically all of our College activities.
We have no more degrees to offer you, so we close by predicting for you as
much success in your romance of love as in your college career.

ALVIN'S chief characteristic is the inimitable edai with which he can roll a
cigarette. Bull Durham is his forte, and the nonchalance with which he
can bum the "makins" is a source of never-failing admiration. Yet he is
as fine and companionable a little runt as ever stunted his growth with nicotine.
His motto is, "Never let your books interfere with your education." If he spent
half the time with his books that he does with that old crippled mandolin, there's
no telling what heights of erudition he might achieve. Anyhow, Alvin is a good
sort to be classmates with, and if he ever lost his good humor nobody was around
to note it. He's too lazy to lose anything, for fear he might have to go find it at
some later time. Inertia is, or at any rate should be, his middle name, it permeates
him and saturates him till he resembles Gibraltar in the ease with which he can be
made to move. He is an ardent exponent of the conservation of energy and has
never been known to make two motions where one would suffice. How he gets by
the Faculty is a deeply shrouded mystery, but he refuses to divulge the formula.
Alvin is living proof that all great men are small of stature. He is every inch a
man, a friend and a philosopher. Here's to Alvin Beale.

ENTER, Mr. Drewry, the scientist par excellence of the Class of '14. Leslie
started by passing Professor Koontz's class in Embryology with a grade of
B the first time he took it, which in itself would entitle him to a high niche
in William and Mary's Hall of Fame. To cap the climax of his biological achieve-
ments, Drewry has discovered a secret process for manufacturing butter out of
grass. On interview he merely says: "Very simple; all you need is a cow and a
churn." Next in importance was Leslie's due hunting expedition on Cary field
on a certain P. M. So successful was he that the Faculty, after learned and
mature deliberation, advised him to go home and rest up until the next session. Like
the proverbial bad penny, he came back last fall, and barring accidents, will be
seen parading with the cap and gown brigade in June. For sound, sensible college
spirit, with trimmings or without, Drewry can hold his own with the best of them.
In his chosen profession, that of M. D., we predict that he wnll give us all good
cause to be proud that Drewry was with us in our last lap in the race for an
education and the chase for a sheepskin.

ENTER a vest-pocket edition of Mt. Vesuvius. Mr. Hamlin, ladies and gen-
tlemen! Genial, happy, good natured as are all brick -tops. Ham possesses
a superabundance of all these qualities. His smile has calcified on his physi-
ognomy and he couldn't remove it if he tried — which he never has and never will,
for he realizes that it is one of his chief assets in the journey through life. Charlie
comes and goes; one year finds him on the green, shaded triangle in the old Capital,
the next finds him somewhere out in the sticks working for the edification of the
youth of the Old Dominion. But when he is here, everybody knows it; in fact it's
impossible not to be cognizant of his presence, on account of his bright dome, if
for no other reason. "Bright dome," did we say? Yes, bright on the outside and
brighter in the interior. Charlie's chief occupation consists in piling up A's and
accumulating scholarships. He says the certificates look nice on his wall. One
drawback about your graduation. Ham, the College loses a good man when you
go, but the Class of *1 4 is so much the better off for your having been one of them.

WE DRINK to Parker. An enigma to his intimates, a friend to all, a
sphynx for conversation, but a good listener, "Buzzie" is hereby handed
over for posterity to decipher. He has been with us for six years; has
seen classes come and go, but not one of us knows any more about him than when
he first invaded our sacred premises. This much we can say for him: he is the
only man we have seen who has been able to persuade the Faculty that he is be-
stowing great honor upon them by attending classes, and that it will be a supreme
act of condescension on his part to accept a sheepskin from this most humble insti-
tution of learning. His inordinate modesty or his confounded inertia may be the
cause for Parker's retreat from the spot-light. "\'et for all his reticence, a more
lovable fellow than "Buzzie" is not to be found in a week's travel. It's a safe bet
that when a sound, level head is needed in a tight place H. Godwin will be a
good man to call on. Rise, gentlemen, I give you H. G. Parker.

HANDSOME, genial, modest, efficient and at all times a Virginia gentle-
man of the highest type — this is "Bat." We all know him, we all admire
him, we all love him. Neglecting the attention that a cute little fellow
like Bathurst always attracts, he was first bathed in the fickle lime-light of fame
when as a mere shaver (or a non-shaver, to be precise) he held down left field on
our championship baseball team of 1911. Since then he has divided his time about
equally pursuing baseballs, ladies and his studies — always with unvarying success.
In fact, it seems that life would get monotonous to one who, like Peachy, always
gets what he goes after, without much effort. His latest acquisition is the captaincy
of the baseball team, and it's a safe prediction it will be a good team, and a credit
to its leader. Good luck to you. Bat — wherever you go the best wishes of the
Class of 1914 will ever be with you.

IN THE cafe to your right, ladies and gentlemen, you see the only specimen of
the Scandinavian wampus in captivity. Reared in the dark fens of Denmark,
Leif at an early period condescended to grace the ancient Capital with his
presence, and has been gracing it ever since. For versatility, Scheie has a cameleon
or college professor beaten to a frazzle. An athlete, a scientist, a professional
beauty and an inventor — all of these he is, nay even a human being — almost.
Scheie's athletic bent is rather a tender subject and we drop it right here. As an
inventor, however, his fame rests secure; he can invent more excuses per minute
than a Philadelphia lawyer in a month. Leif's inseparable companion is a wicked,
black mule, cleped Demosthenes, who is as eloquent with his hinder limbs as his
master with his tongue — and much more effective. With all his faults we love
him still. Leif's tow-head is a welcome sight on the campus, and when we see it
we prepare for five-foot-six of college spirit, good fellowship and level-headedness.

SLEEPYHEAD! Johnny's chief contribution to the annals of his Alma Mater
is his record of rapid dressing. On chapel mornings he can rise when the
bell commences to ring, dress, breakfast and scuttle over to chapel in time to
answer to his name. Can you beat it ? John has other characteristics, of course —
he is a heavy calico sport, but don't say calico to him, she's fine silk to his love-
lorn notions. Taylor is one of the old reliables — steady, always dependable and
enthusiastic about anything that will bring glory to his Alma Mater. College
spirit? He's chock full of it, and it oozes out of every pore in his soft, fair
epidermis. Next to the fair sex John's softest spot is for Brafferton traditions. If
dead roosters could tell tales, Taylor would now be only a memory at the College,
but a pleasant one to be sure. His favorite grouch is the grub at the Mess-hall.
One day he was going up the steps to the dining-hall when the dinner bell was
ringing. Just at that time John's cur dog was heard to growl and bark. Taylor
turned to him indignantly and asked: "What in hell are you growling about?
You don't have to eat it." But he seems to have thrived on it just the same, and
claims to have gained 7f^ ounces during the five years he has spent here. He
doesn't look any heavier, so we assume the gain was in his cerebrum.

THE subject of this sketch is John Lewis Tucker: the object of it is to acquaint
you with a man who does things without talking. In fact, he won't talk
anyway, whether he's busy or not. But as a man who can get things done,
John Lewis is hard to beat. He has been doing things here at William and Mary
for five years — and doing them well. A glance at his career will astound you :
he's managed and presided over so many things that it just comes natural to one
to address him as "Mr. President," or "Mr. Manager." The Literary Society,
the Junior Class and the Senior Class have all known him as their president. Then
he's managed a baseball team, a Literary Magazine and two COLONIAL
Echoes — a veritable glutton for work. We doff our hats to John Lewis, an
ardent exponent, at all times, of what is highest and most wholesome in under-
graduate life. We doff our hat and offer our hand to the President of the Class
of 1914.

^ ("T^ ILLY" hails from the land where gentlemen are born, not made; witness
IJ the specimen they sent to Wilham and Mary. The boys call him "Billy"
for short, but the fact is there isn't anything short about him ; he's six-feet-
something-and-a-half tall and shaped like a dyspeptic darning needle. Winsbro
is a rather uncertain quantity, but one thing we can guarantee — he will stand
without hitching. Not lazy, of course, just born tired and hasn't had time to get
over it. His long suit is economics, but one question troubles him sorely : he hasn t
been able to find out whether marriage is a necessity or a luxury. We fear greatly
that he will awake some fine day and discover that it is an incurable disease.
Bill's time here in Williamsburg has been spent in pursuing A's rather than in
acquiring an education, and his stock argument is that a man possessed of a degree
is an educated mortal; knowledge, erudition, learning, information, count for noth-
ing; his cosmos is all based on A's. Bill gained undying fame by standing, tooth-
pick in mouth, on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, and asking a policeman
whether it would be convenient for President Taft to step down to see him for a
minute. It wasn't.

THE specimen under our microscope is a relic of the dark ages. Womack is
a trifle belated in this matter of accepting his degree, but his education was
interrupted by many unfortunate vicissitudes. First, the Civil War com-
pelled him to abandon the ardent prosecution of his studies. Hardly had he re-
turned when the news came that two grandchildren were stricken with German
measles, and dutiful Doc hastened to the bedside. But "it's an ill wind that
blows," etc., so the Class of '14 has the good fortune to claim Hugh as one of her
very own. One of our most enthusiastic Y. M. C. A. workers, Womack bids fair
to become a preacher of no mean attainments — Lyman Abbott, Bishop Randolph
and John Wycliffe all rolled into one would hardly be a match for the redoubtable
Doctor. How the Philomathean will fare when he departs is a matter for serious
cogitation. Ninety-nine per centum of the dignity in the Senior Class is concealed
on the person of Womack — in fact, he's quite frequently taken for a Professor or
some other "rara avis." Here's to you, Womack; the Class of 1914 bids you
godspeed.

HISTORY written from the point of view of simply compiling dry facts
requires but little effort on the part of the recorder, but when written m
such a manner as to be interesting, as well as instructive, to the reader,
it requires more skill than is possessed by the ordinary compiler; the
writer must be even something of an author. With these facts clearly in mind
and fully conscious of my weakness, I proceed to my task, not, however, before
begging the gentle reader to lend me a most sympathetic attitude, and to pardon
any blunders to which my inability as an historian might give rise.
But four short years ago we arrived upon the campus, and a green bunch
of "ducklings" we were as we ascended to the second floor of the Science Hall
to make our debut before the entrance committee. There we presented our high
school diplomas with all the majesty of King George and went our way confident.
No suspicion of our verdancy dawned upon us.
But time changes all things, and since those days — the scenes of which will
always be vivid in our minds — many changes have been wrought. Blessings on
our dear Faculty, for they have worked long and faithfully. They have followed
us through four distinct stages of metamorphosis, examining us daily with scientific
precision and carefully recording each observation that no act in the development
of the species might be missing from the final record. The Judgment day has
come and past. As we ascended one by one the steps to the golden throne, St.
Peter quickly turned to the proper page in his Great Book and, seeing our record
was complete, motioned us with his thumb to enter.
Since our arrival in this new realm, we have been feasting at a great banquet
of the gods given in our honor. So far we have not had time to sleep. We spend
our time during the day eating ambrosia and arguing politics with Father Zeus,
while at night we go out with Bacchus, who "sets us up" to nectar and then takes
us to the theater (moving picture show).
Our records as students and athletes in former classes may be found in back
numbers of this publication; but as Seniors we do not by any means claim to
Page Thirfy-onc
possess the cream of the genius of our Freshman Class of 1911. We are here
simply because of persistence and hard study. In our course of four years we
have striven to be "all 'round college men," and we feel safe in saying that our
strife has not been all in vain. Some of our members have distinguished them-
selves in the lecture-room, some in athletics, and some in the literary society halls,
while there are a few who have gained distinction in all three of these fields, and
some of us still profess to be "curlers," or heroes.
In regard to number, our Class is far from what it was four years ago. Then
we numbered sixty; now there are barely fourteen left to be crowned with the
laurel of graduation.
Now, in conclusion, we go forth from the cherished halls of our Alma Mater,
feeling strong in mind and body and equipped with such a store of knowledge
and precepts received at the hands of a faithful Faculty, that we have little fear
in stumbling in the stormy course of life. We shall scatter in various directions
and shall engage in various occupations, but, fellow members of the Senior Class
of 1914, wherever we go and whatever we do, let us remain faithful to our old
College of William and Mary.

RISING over yon eastern hills.
Tinting the earth with gray,
Comes the sun that thrills
Each heart at the break of day;
For dawn has come.
Sinking beyond yon western hills.
Gleaming with crimson ray.
Lowers the sun that chills
Each heart at the close of day;
For night has come.

"I cannot tell how the truth may be;
1 say the tale as it was said to me."
ANOTHER Senior Class, and still another prophet. Prophet, did I say?
and why not? Every Senior Class claims to number among its mem-
bers one who has that superhuman foresight by which he can wrest
from the future her guarded secrets, and reveal them to those who await
their fate with abated breath. Truly, the Class of '14 can be no exception.
But why should I, who has never been deemed prophetic, be clothed with
the mantle of a prophet? The task at first seemed insurmountable. Yet realizing,
finally, that this burden was not to be unloaded upon the shoulders of another, I
set myself to thinking how my predecessors were inspired. By what means were
they able to rival the Druid priest who presaged the ruin of pristine Rome? A
number of my predecessors were given magic swords, by some great ancestor, with
which they solved their problems; others were aided by some powerful portent;
another sought the aid of a divine goddess; while I have heard it said that the
mirror has reflected visions of the future to many g-eat prophets.
For three long months I awaited the shade of some great ancestor to appear
before me with a brilliant and magic sword, but none appeared. I then invoked
the aid of all the gods and goddesses that were known to the Greeks and Romans,
but no god proffered his aid, nor did a fairy goddess whisper in my ear.
Seeing that it was useless to e.xpect aid from this quarter, and driven to
desperation to devise some means by which I could tear from the future her stored
treasures, I went to one of my professors, acquainted him with my knotty problem,
and implored him to advise me. For a long while he sat in reflective thought, and
as a recompense for my long and an.xious waiting, told me of a powerful potion
which, he said, if taken in sufficient quantities, would make me see things.
That night, having secured an ample quantity of this potion, I carried it
to my room, where I soon drained the bottle of its contents and stretched out upon
the lounge, exhausted from the worry of this problem.
Page Thirty-four
Soon there appeared before me a mass of snakes — long and short snakes,
lean and fat snakes — all writhing and twisting into every conceivable shape.
With a start I dispelled the vision, and awoke, trembling with fear from head to
foot.
Seizing the poker, I rearranged the logs in the fireplace, and not being able
to rid my mind of that elusive problem, I drew a rocker close to the fire and sa^
down, still holding the smutty poker in my hand.
Immediately the poker flared up into a fiery mass. I tried to let it fall, but
found my arm powerless; my heart jumped into my mouth and my hair stood on
end. The mass of fire then ran up the poker to the point, took on a blood red
color, and gradually shaped itself into a minature Satan. Gosh! With a scream
I tried to shake him off, but he remained standing there with conplacency, utter-
ing wild and bloodthirsty cries. My heart was pounding itself to pieces upon my
ribs when he spoke:
"What is it that thou wouldst know? Ask me and it will be answered."
"O Mighty Prince of Darkness," I replied, "relate to me the future of each
of the Class of '14."
A huge ball of fire shot out from his mouth, and before my frightened eyes
appeared a circle of many colors. Keeping my eyes fastened upon it, lest it might
vanish as it had come, I soon saw a change taking place within the circle. It
widened, slowly vanished, and before me appeared, as if real, a peaceful farm
house. Everything around it bespoke a progressive farmer and a well-caring
housewife. But see! a door flew open; a man with arms over his head ran out
into the yard, closely pursued by his wife, her broom raised high over her head.
The fugitive ran straight towards me as if seeking my shelter, and I recognized the
face of our Class President, John Lewis Tucker.
Immediately the scene shifted, and there appeared a large and brilliantly
lighted stage. By the words on an immense program on the stage, I judged that
it was in Germany. The program announced that it was amateur night, when
all Germans, being able to perform some special feat, might appear before the
audience for a prize. A keg, seemingly of beer, was brought upon the stage and
placed upon a table. The stage director then appeared, leading a bashful con-
Paje Thirty-five

testant for the prize by the hand. This bashful fellow, not wishing to face the audi-
ence, walked backwards to the keg of beer, reclined flat upon his back, placed a
funnel in his mouth, and turned the beer into it. In a few minutes the keg had
been drained, and with much warbling, this human reservoir faced the audienc"
amid deafening applause. It was then that I recognized the face, and only the
face, of my old classmate, "Buzzy" Parker. "Oh, 'Buzzy,' now I see why you
are so fond of German," I exclaimed.
But wait, what familiar face of vermillion hue did I see in a nearby box?
An immaculately dressed gentleman, with a beautiful lady, gorgeously attired,
was vigorously applauding this feat of capacity. A smile played upon his features,
widened, and soon rippled from ear to ear. I recognized it as that of Leif Scheie.
After seeing this I began to fear, lest the little Satan would prove a bad
prophet. But what is this that then appeared on the visionary screen? A lavishly
bedecked ball-room, with hundreds of young ladies and men banked to one side.
What a brilliant assemblage! It looked as if they were waiting motionless for a
flashlight picture, when my eye was arrested by a large placard hung upon the
wall. It read as follows:
THE PARISIAN SHUFFLE-STEPS
In the Maxixe
Introduced by Prof. C. H. Hamlin
My old classmate. Ham, stepped out before the audience and began to dance
in the most wonderful fashion. I soon saw that "Ham" had lost none of his
graceful art.
The scene then shifted to a room, presumably underneath the ball-room; it
was a large ratheskellar. Men in evening clothes were seated about the tables;
white-aproned waiters were running in every direction. One waiter, tripping over
a chair, let fall a tray of glasses and measured his length upon the floor. To my
astonishment I recognized him as W. L. Drewry. A low, heavy-set man rushed
up to the waiter, and with sweeping gestures, seemed to be rebuking him severely.
The diamonds on his shirt bosom glowed and sparkled, as did his rum-soaked
nose. I was surprised when I recognized the face of H. L. Womack.
Pugc ThirtM-six
<^
I then leaned back in my chair, lighted my pipe, and was now prepared to
see the worst.
In a moment I found myself ga/.ing upon a large baseball field. By the sign
boards, I saw that it was the Polo Grounds, and that the game was to be played
between the Giants and the Athletics for the World's Championship. When the
Giants took the field, the whole grandstand arose, shouting madly and casting
their hats into the air. I was wondering what was the cause of such an unusual
demonstration, when I saw the Giants' pitcher walk out before the crowd, bowing
time and again. He was showered with many flowers and objects of all kinds.
Stretching forward to get a glimpse of his face, I recognized this husky twirler as
"Billy" Winsbro.
"Still 1 can see him before me.
As in the days of old;
His lips of serious sweetness.
Hair of the richest gold."
Once more the vision changed, and now appeared a peaceful scene indeed.
A draped gondola lay moored to a many colored post. Overhead a huge tree
cast its peaceful shade. Lying upon the poop of the boat was the gondolier,
dressed in blue silk, with a bright red sash. He rose to a sitting posture, opened
wide his mouth in yawning, and began to play a guitar. Shortly he put aside his
instrument and arose to his feet, still yawning. I was thunderstruck! Before me
stood Beale, the musician of the Class.
Close upon this perfect peace followed a scene of horror. There now
appeared before me an abyss with roaring flames issuing from its mouth. Around
Its sides were hovered a mass of wretched beings. Some of these were tossing upon
the rocks, tearing their hair in desperation. Others on bended knee were raising
their arms in supplication above their heads, while a few jumped into the flaming
abyss. Satan, with his pitchfork, now appeared, approaching these unfortunate
souls. One by one he tossed them into the abyss on the end of his fork, until only
one was left. Satan made at him, but the poor wretch dodged him, running in
and out among the boulders. But, alas! he was finally conquered and run through.
Satan raised him high on the fork while he writhed in agony. I managed to
get one glimpse of the face of this unfortunate man, and recognized "Sweeney"
Blitzer. Oh, "Sweeney!" I exclaimed, "I have often heard it said, 'only by the
Page Tbirt\f-sc\'cn
<1

past can we judge the future,' but who would have thought this would be your
end?"
Like a flash this scene vanished, and in its stead appeared an enlarged copy
of the Chase Ciiv Messenger. One column, with huge black headlines, arrested
my attention:
HOME FOUNDED B\' J. E. TAYLOR FOR LADY TEACHERS.
"Teacher or leachers?" 1 asked myself.
"What touches us ourself shall be the last served. '
Once again the scene shifted, and I beheld before my wondering eyes what
appeared to be the vision of a man, minus head, hands, and feet. "But look!"
I exclaimed, "this figure is clothed in the garb of a convict." The convict cap is
in its place, but it rests upon no head! What form will this vision take?" In
answer to my question, one hand appeared in its proper place, then the other, and
then both feet, but still no head was to be seen. In the twinkling of an eye the
head appeared between the cap and the coat. But, oh! the Prophet gazed into
his own face!
I hurled the poker into the fire, and with a weird and mocking laugh, the
little Satan sailed up the chimney. The Devil! He had disappeared!
Hearken, O Ye Seniors! You have heard your future prophesied, but
"Detest the slander which, with a satanic smile, exults over the characters it has
ruined."
Prophet.

FRANKLIN MASON BARNES
He lives in Williamsburg and is proud of it? Why shouldn't
he be? Franklin tripped it with fair Audrey on her fantastic toe!
But he couldn't help it. Few dances has he missed m "ye ancient
citie" since the introduction of the "cradle snatch and the happy-
go-tang." That's not all. F. M. ts a debater and a good one. His
audience is convinced whether he says anything or not. An owl at
looking wise. This one also filches from the pen of the Profs
a curler's mark. Despite the long face, Barnes, you'll get there
just the same — "it comes to him who goes after it.
FRANCIS WEST COOKE
No; Cookie didn't discover any pole, nor is he particularly
fond of frigidness. In fact, on a cold wintry day, one would be
at a loss were he not to find "Doc " perched on the radiator play-
ing "you take this one, I'll take that" with the profoundest of
philosophers. Francis is reticent; but that gray matter of his is
always in motion. He is a student — a real student, and a man
who finds pleasure in work. Active in the literary society, "Doctor
Cooke is verily a Desmosthenes ; a better debater is hard to find.
Smile? Mon Dieu! The first time in his college career. Francis
West you are an honor to your class.
VICTOR EW.ART GLADSTONE EMERY
"One anecdote of a man is worth a volume of biography.
N'ictor once ^vrote on an examination paper in English that "the
sermon on the mount was preached by Moses on Mount Sinai.'
Dr. Hall commented " 'his studie was but litel on the Bible.

HERMAN LEE HARRIS
Good student, budding author, scholarship and medal winner —
these qualities put Herman in a mi generis almost. How he does
such great thmgs is a mystery. Genius > Don't, it might swell his
head; his opinion of himself already is sufficient. If The Flat Hal
and Colonial Echo would let him alone, he would be a real
curler. But he is careful to divide his time, making everything
count. Another secret: Herman Lee is a ladies' man; never yet
has he failed to put a blue-eyed heroine in his stories. Last and
least! The student body has chosen H. L. as its best prose writer
and most eloquent speaker — Harris of the Class of 15.
JOHN HILLIARD HEALY
"Omnipotent John" he would fain be called, yet he's modest.
loo. Why. we can't explain, except that — ah. slush ! Er — a.
John's a singer of songs and a dreamer of dreams. He sang his
swan song at V. M. I. last year. "Nohing to military." he says
nonchantly. He dreams of fair women, even more so, perhaps,
than did Tennyson himself, yet that modesty! He should worry.
But Jonnie's an athlete as well as a soldier. In tSat memorable
battle last year between eleven husky "Williams " and as many
tender 'Marys." Healy's form distinguished, or rather extinguished,
him. Having starred he fled from the greetings of the fair dam-
sels, and sought refuge m the woods, where he has been playing
soldier ever since. Jchn is made of real stuff, he is a true blue,
and a loyal William and Mary man.
CLARENCE JENNINGS
Quiet and unassuming, did you say? Yes, he is all iSat. but
a curler and athlete just the same. Clarence's is reticent genius,
if you please, and comes out in the form of "pep* just at the
right time always. He is iomc football player. His opponent
never fails to liken him to a seige of artillery. The ^ . M. C. .-X.
boasts Clarence as its president — cnc of the best it has ever had;
iSe magazine staff has dubbed him assistant business manager: while
the Junior Class counts him as one of her most loyal members, and
the young ladies? — ah. a plenty.
Page Fort^' three
HUGH HOWARD JONES
Wonderful! All-round athlete and student. Nay verily, he
15 "spry as a cat" and as game as a strutting peacock. Jonsey Joes
play balls — foot, basket, and base. How do it? That no one
knows; his style and form are individual. Howard doesn't stop
at stars either; nothing under a moon or sun can satisfy his craving.
Sure — he makes his classes — well — er — a — now and then,
but rumor has it that he is especially fond of English V and "hates
like the deuce" to leave it. Albeit H. H. is a hard student and an
athlete of exceptional quality. We repeat — "Wonderful!"
LEWIS JONES
Lewis Jones. C. B. C. — that's his official title; and if he
never gets an A. B., he may rest upon iKis distinguished epithet.
It IS the very latest degree, and was conferred by the Belles of
Williamsburg. Cutest Boy in College — it means just that. This
IS a very exclusive title, for though some of us are "cute." and
some are "cuter." Lewis alone is "cutest." He has many more
laurels, but besides this they all pale. Even his wonderful pitching
IS forgotten and that famous contest wherein he "pitched a very
creditable game, being touched up for only sixteen bingles. " is only
a memory. Lewis, you re a wonder, and a miracle of good sense,
rood friendship, and good fun.
WALTER BURTON NOURSE
The subject of this sketch is Walter B. Nourse — the object
of it to introduce you to one of William and Mary's most loving
and lovable sons. Seldom is a man's love for his Alma Mater
stronger than Waller's; witness the fight he has shown on Cary
Field for the last four years. It would take a book to do justice
to him. One who could write glowing verses about moonlight's
silvery beams, and the last fond kiss m the sheltering shadows of
Tea-Kettle Alley, Walter has been with us long, and has become
as it were the center of gravity, except when he smiles. We can
say no more of him, save that God made him and made him well.

GROVER CLEVELAND OUTLAND
Outlandish? No. except when it comes lo debating whether
suffrage should be granted to women or not. Grover w.ns on
either side of any question, debatable or otherwise — doesn't mailer.
It has been rumored ihal he has the unique power of generating
enough "hot air " to fill both Literary Society halls, which he does
with great effect (?). Enthusiasm? Well, one should smile;
enthusiasm is the key lo Grover's flowing genius. He is an ardent
supporter of everything progressive, and a loyal "booster " in those
tSinc-s which are sialic. The Junior Class and the College are
proud lo claim a m n such as Grover Cleveland Oulland.
CHARLES CLARK RENICK
"Charlie" took first honors for scholarship last year. ^ ou say
he has brain power? Well, he has. Last year, and this too, he
developed some of it by seven hours' study a day in the power-
house. Oh no, he doesn't room down there; he's merely assistant
stoker. Between stokes of coal he stokes his cerebral cortex with
knowledge and at the end of the month his pocket book withal.
What he can't curl the professors on, isn't taught at William and
Mary. He curls them up so light they never come undone, except
upon someone else. However that may be, he is a good fellow —
ah ^ — ■ er, as good as a Brafferton Indian can be.
JOHN WALLER SMITH. Jr.
John Smith — pathfinder, Indian hunter, and student. His
name is sufficient to bluff any Brafferton Indian; consequently, he
doesn't have to avoid the water bag — it avoids him. Pathfinder?
Why he tramped all the way from the University of Virginia lo
William and Mary in search of a breath of Colonial atmosphere.
Smith is progressive, loo. The Gordon-Hope Literary Club is
but one of the fruits of his cerebral fertility. Another: the inlro-
duclion of new dances a la moile. Among the ladies he is a
center of gyration. What else? His rareness debates occasionally
— and (?). Poet, tangocr, song bird and man. He alone would
make the Class of '15 famous. Come, boys, three wassails.

WILSON EDWARD SOMERS
Betler known as "Jumbo. * He s only six feet one; weighs one
hundred eighty-hve. His interest m college activities stands al
scalding temperature. Somers is a curler, football player, debater
and sport. One muit be a curler to gain admittance to Dr. Halls
W. T. C. U. class: ergo — nufF sed! Monograms and stars literally
leap from the gridiron into "Jumbo's ' grasp, while walled cities fall
beneath the lash of his strong argumentation. "A girl in every
town" IS his motto. Wilson is a sport from your heart, and a
paragon for graceful dancing. Stick to it. "Jumbo" ; you'll be a
great (er) man some day.
PRESTON PHILLIPS TAYLOR
Aboul P. P. there seems always lo have spread a shroud of
inexphcable mystery. Whether it be on account of some of those
peculiarly attractive eccentricities or his dry, exotic way of domg
things no one has ever said. Mysterious — yes, perhaps, mys-
teriously— romantic (in his case it amounts to the same). But
Taylor is a student and a student's friend. He makes his classes,
plays at fcolball and baseball and does everything in his unique
systematic way. A huge smile adorns his big lips and creaps
stealthily to his eyes, when he is asked to show his monograms and
stars. Preslcn you are cut out for a real man. Stick to it! \ our
classmates own you with a feeling of amiable pride. Praeslo et
pcrsto. Taylor
ERNEST LINWOOD WRIGHT
"Pipe's" our president and a man always. (W)right on the
job. That great immovable smile of his isn't easily forgotten, nor
its influence either. Scmetimes. like Wilbur, the birdman, he soars
high — high on the wings of musical notes. The ladies say he has
a "perfectly heavenly voice," and, of course, he sings "superbly
grand." This one is athletic, too. Not any half -fry; il was he
who distinguished himself as half back on the 1912 'Varsity; his
"pig skin" work was really stellar. Manager of this year's learn,
and — well, we can't tell everything. "Pipe" hails from "Hobs
Hole,"" Tappahannock — that"s a panacea for all .lis. Here's luck,
"Prexie"!

^opljomore Class J^istorp
THE second lap of the race toward our goal is now on — we are nearly
done. Some who survived the hardships of the first lap have come back
to us with renewed vigor, other winners of last year's sprint have for-
saken us (oh, brothers, where are you?) and still others from various
schools have received our hearty handclasps as brothers.
We ha%e stepped out of the ranks as "dues" and have come into our own.
We are a great class — the Sophomore Class; great not only in numbers, but
also in quality.
As one would look over the list of members of our Class he would find there
men represent.ng all the different phases of college life, from athletics to "calico-
ing. We have several of the most renowned "curlers" or "twisters" known about
school. They ha^e only kept up their good work of the past.
A history of any Class would be lacking if there were not included the most
favorite college sport — football. We were represented in football by Tilley,
Hedrick and Addington. Tilley has left us to enter his father's business, but
there are rumors that he will be back with us next year. Tom, wherever you
are when you read this, say you will live up to the rumor and come back to your
A'ma Mater. In basketball we were glad and proud to have the two famous
guards, Z:on and Zehmer, as members of our Class.
We shall also be represented in baseball, some of last year's men as well as
new students be-.ng neophytic Marquards. The prospects are more than excep-
tcnally bright Pe: des the monogram men — Add ngton. Combs, Tucker,
Zehmer — we have Shiers, Zion, Shackelford, Garnett and Will'amT of last year
and some prom's-'ng new material. Also the track work of Woods, Muncaster
and James has been of high honor to the Class.
In literary society work, the Philomathean has Huffines and Gwens, whi'e
the good work of Zehmer and Scott has ganed them high honors from the Phoenix.
Last, but not least, we have members active in Y. M. C. A. work. One of
us. Barnes, being president, and several others members of the cabinet.
Class of 1917, you are thus greeted with what you have done and VNnth a
true desire that you accomplish still more in the future; and in after life may your
work reflect honor upon your Alma Mater.

Jf resijmau Class J^istorp
THE history of the Freshman Class is a glorious chronxle of great things
done, and greater things undone. To attempt to give in detail the accom-
plishments of this important aggregation would indeed be an arduous
task, but a rapid survey shows that we have done our part in upholding
the dignity and honor of William and Mary. A statement of this nature may
seem bold to the casual reader, but one who is familiar with the College activities
of this year must realize that there is no room for contradiction.
Last fall, when the call was sounded for football practice. Freshmen com-
prised the greater part of the squad responding. They were faithful to their duty,
and what reward do we perceive? This — six "Dues" received monograms! The
very mention of the names of Bertschey, Wallace, Gayle, Page, Addison and
Gilliam carries us back to the scenes of memorable gridiron battles. Hail to our
fellow classmate, Stanton Bertschey, captain of the 1914 team!
In basketball we have had further contribution to our glory in the stellar
work of Bertschey and Gayle. Now comes the baseball season, and all indica-
tions are that the Freshman Class will be well represented.
A glance at the rolls of the literary societies is sufficient to convince one that
the Freshmen have taken an active part in this important phase of college life.
At the time of this writing the members of the Inter-collegiate debating team have
not been chosen, but prospects are that our Class will have at least one repre-
sentative.
In studies we have exerted every effort, and in very few instances has suc-
cess been lacking. Examinations, the Waterloo of many Freshmen students, were
boldly faced and conquered.
Fellow Classmates! It is an honor and a privilege to be a member of the
Class of 1917. Let us continue in the future as throughout the passing session,
and there need be no fear that the unstained reputation of William and Mary
College will ever suffer at our hands.
Historian.

IN THE sweet perfumed profusion
Of a garden's aureate glow,
'Mid the redolence of roses
By a happy river's flow.
Where the little hills are peaceful.
And the waters whisper, "God,
Arlaru! Arlaru!"
In the fairest, greenest valley
Foot of man hath ever trod,
Where the molten, golden music
Of the breezes, passion laden.
Blow softly up from Afton,
Through the Little Vale of Aiden,
Allalu! Allalu!
Where they rest
On the breast
Of the Rose they love the best —
On the bosom of a true and tender maiden!
John Waller Smith, Jr.. '15.

LAPPING and curling.
Darting and swirling.
Each flickering flame
A Satanic elf,
Hurleth itself
With devilish wrath
On its frenzied path
Into the heart of the oak.
It nor ceases nor halts
In its fiendish assaults
Till its prey is no more;
Shoots its venomous dart
At the monarch's heart;
Its scorpion lashes
Leaving but ashes
Of the heart of the giant oak.
The wandering spark
Is my reverie's bark
On the surging sea of dreams.
With each flash of light
My fancy takes flight;
And now I stand
On the Morphean strand
Of the realm where the Dream King dwells.
A flicker, a gasp.
The death-note's rasp.
The embers are cold and dead —
My castles crumble and fall.
From the dust there call
The voices of life's
Turbulent strifes.
And smoke shrouds the Dream King's form.

IT IS with exceptional interest that we record the good and profitable work in
which the Y. M. C. A. may exult in accomplishing during the past college
year. Interest was manifested from the first, and has ever been kept aflame
by the untiring and ceaseless efforts of the cabinet. We are not detracting
one iota from the credit of our predecessors when we say that the work this year
has reached its highest expression, for it is upon the splendid past that the excellent
present is built.
It was with pride that we noted the success of the usual reception to new
students at the beginning of the session. After a number of speeches made by
members of the Faculty and old students concerning various phases of college
activities, refreshments were served while many new acquaintanceships were
inaugurated. Upon invitation to join the Association, the new men as well as
the old responded, to our great satisfaction.
The series of addresses given in the hall every year, was begun by Dr. Hall
of the Faculty. Dr. Hall has for a number of years honored us with the first
address of the season. He was followed by other members of the Faculty, and
by the ministers of the town. An invaluable feature of the past year's work was
the series of addresses on "Life Work," delivered by such men as Dr. Young,
Mr. F. M. Purder. Hon. John Garland Pollard. Mr. W. S. Copeland, and Mr.
Gorden. These speakers did not maintain that their professions were the only
ones worth following, but pictured the good and the bad, the sweet and the bitter.
the homely and the beautiful of their respective vocations. They endeavored to
reveal the facts, based on experience, which forewarn young men of the obstacles
they have to face, and help them to the-r destined obstructions and convert them
into stepping stones to success rather than pitfalls of failure.
In numerous places about college there have been classes in Bible and mis-
sion study. A very interesting and instructive course on the "Liquor Problem"
was given in the dormitory by Prof. H. H. Young of the city. This course was
an unbiased and unprejudire'' study of the problem before us.

A feature of great importance in the Y. M. C. A. work was the sending of
a delegation of three to the Student Volunteer Convention held in Kansas City,
Mo., during the Christmas holidays. This convention is held only once in four
years, and is composed of the largest aggregation of students and scholars known
in America. We deem ourselves fortunate in having sent a delegation, that it
might bring back a renewed and more catholic spirit of uplift to our comparatively
small Association.
Hincsi to tfje Statue of Hibertp
FAIR goddess Liberty, that keepst the gate
Through which have come Eurasia's chosen few
(The tribute of the Old World to the New),
With fair Columbia to link their fate.
Their fortunes with our western land to mate.
Thy noble form, the first to greet their view.
Holds forth the promise of success or rue;
They enter now whose sons shall rule the State.
Guard well, fair maid, the gates thou dost adorn.
Give none but worthy leave into this land;
For virtue let thy gates aside be borne,
'Gainst vice uplift thy mighty brazen hand;
The scum and offal that would enter, scorn;
Let not their footprints mar our beauteous strand.
Max Blitzer.

ANY account of athletics for such a publication as the present one mu t
necessarily be inccmplete, owing to the fact that material must go to the
press before the end of the basketball season. Football is now a memory,
basketball occupies the spotlight at present, and whatever is said of base-
ball and track work must be in the nature of a prediction.
1 he memory of our grid.ron history is a peculiarly pleasant one. Com-
mencing with four of last year's team as a nucleus. Coach Draper developed a
machine that made a credtabie stand against its opponents in every contest. Cap-
tain Wright was assisted in the back field by Tilley. a veteran of three years, and
Bertschey, the best quarterback developed here in recent years. 1 his combinat.on
possessed both speed and experience, but fell a trifle shoit in weight. The final
game with Richmond College on the local gridiron will be held up, a shining light
for future teams, as an example of what spirit and love for Alma Mater can
accomplish.
The basketball season is now in progress, and has not arrived at a stage where
a retrospective view can be held. To date, the team, handicapped by the absence
of Captain Turner, has defeated Hampden-Sldney and Richmond College, beside
other teams outside the league. Whatever follows, the season must still be accounted
a success by virtue of the victories already achieved.
As for baseball, here we must take a dip into the future. The prospects are
bright. Captain Peachy, Tucker. Addington. Jones. Shiers, Combs, all 'Vars:ty
men, make the foundation for a formidable team, while the cream of last year s
scrub team is available and will be of great aid in filling the vacant positions.
Track work has been carried on throughout the year, except when the weather
conditions prevented outdoor work. Captain McAllister and Manager Frey have
had a good sized squad under their supervision in preparation for the annual spring
meet.
The session of 19! 3-' 14 witnessed the inauguration of a new system of financial
management. By action of the Council, season tickets were sold carrying admis-
sion to all athletic contests. This scheme bids fair to solve the problem of finances
which has vexed the local athletic authorities for many years.

DEXTER WRIGHT DRAPER. M. D.
Physician ami Physical Director
A potent force in the success of the College alhtelics during the past year was the fact that the
College authorities had procured a very competent athletic director in the person of Dr. D. W. Draper.
Dr. Draper is a Pennsylvania man, and at this university played for four years at tackle on the eleven,
and was four years chosen on Walter Camps All-American Football Team. From Medical School
"Doc" went to the University of Texas, where he acted as football coach. Later he served as physical
director in the New York high schools, and finally at Franklin and Marshall College, where he turned
out a winnmg football team. From there he came to William and Mary.

^agesJ from tfje ©iarp of Samuel ^tp^i
His Trip to Ashland
November /, /9I3. Up this day betimes and by steam tram to Ashland
Citty where was a great football match-contest wherein did eleven great fellowes
and strong from Williamsburg contend with eleven from a college called Ran-
dolphe-Macon. Had this day dinner in Ashland with an exceeding charming
damosel whose charm I deemed no whit the less for that she did pray Randolphe-
Macon might triumph. Came two fellowes to me saying they hath heard I was
fain to wager many pounds on the outcome of the contest. The which I did
deny, pleading that my lords, the faculty-masters do frown with misapproval upon
the laying of moneys on a game. Whereat was great mirth among them, one
asking if there were not other causes wherefore I did refuse to wager, which, God
wot, there were. So out upon the field where was gathered a great multitude of
people and as fair damosels as I have beheld this many days. Soon did blow a
whistle whereon the play begun. Full sixty minutes did the twain teams struggle,
and gallantly, but withal, not even, forsomuch as Randolphe-Macon did display
greater prowess in especiall one Driver, a small fellowe, but withal exceeding
active. Did hear a little churl to say, with great wit methought "What it doth
take to hammer the line, Screw-Driver hath got it," which verily, he hath. Was
also there one Bane, the which indeed was the bane of the Williamsburgh ladds.
Sad tayle thought it be, Randolphe-Macon did triumph, what with their greater
prowess. Yet I could not but think what gameness and great courage have
William and Mary's ladds this day shewn; and I very proud thereat. What with
this defeat I was fain to depart from Ashland citty, the which I did in a petroleom
waggon, having not the patience to await the steam-tram. Arrived to Richmonde
very cold what with the wind and the great swiftness of our waggon. So to an
inn, where we did sup very grand and, me thought, somewhat greedy. Had there,
too, a great beaker of corn-juice, albeit on this too do my faculty-masters frown.
But so great was my sorrowe that I could not contain my appetite what with the
importunings of the companie. Thence to a theatre where did divers play acktors
Page One HattilreJ ami Taentvtiirec
<n
n ^
disport themselves, but indifferent well methcught albeit some there did deem it
very fine and laughed greatly, whereat I did meditate "foolish fellowes." Then
to the street where was a chest-nutt monger and all had again a great feast, the
which did cost but one shilling, cheap, methought. Again to the inn, exceedingly
fatigued and low-spirited, and so to bed.
His Trip to Eastern Shore
November 25. Up this day betimes and busy all the day preparing against
my departure to Eastern Shore with the Coledge Quartette. By steam-tram to
Olde Poynt Comfort and heard the quaitette to sing for the solidery at Ft.
Munrowe. Good, methcught, and I got there a cheque for the singing, good
too. By omnibuss to Hampton and late to-bed.
November 26. Rose this day with the sun and waited long for a steam-
boate, and so to Cape Charles. And we saw the Atlantick ocean, which is a
well-known ocean in these parts. By steam-tram to a citty Parksley where was
this night a quartette-shew. Was with us a negro-fellowe, Elmore by name,
a comickall churl and he did attire himself in a ministrel-singer's coate of red and
greene, with white pants and a great yellowe hat and so out upon the streets to
adveitize for the quartette. 1 he drollest sight, methought, I had beheld this
many a day, albeit the school-children deemed him a monster and fled from him
in great tenor. Had this day dinner of a turkey-bird but cooked with too much
grease, and I sick thereat. What with the Turkey and Greace was within me a
veritable Balkan war — and a great upheaval. Better presently, and out into the
towne wearing a new great-ccate and gloves which yesterday I purchased. A
great ram at shew-time and few did come to heare the quartette, even less than
an hundred. Master Crawford, the basso, did out upon the stage and made
merrie jest with the audience, saying, "I thank the both of you for your kind
attention," and great laughter thereat. To an oyster-house, the quartette-singers
and Elmore too and had many large and luscious oysters, not cooked. Sat late
in the night and my host of the inn told many droll tayles. Very tired with my
travels and so to-bed.
November 27. Lay late abed albeit this is Thanks-giving day and I have
much for the which to give thanks to my Lord God. By steam-tram to Eastville,
Page One Hundred and Tiventy four

vL^
a fmall lowne. but nice. Met my good friend Kelly and with him to Woodside,
driving. He hath a she-horse cleped Pearls, the finest ever I saw, fleet, hand-
some and with great fire and mettle. Saw there Miss Mary, a sweet damosel and
charming too. Thence to Mistress Costin's, a fine country estate with a most
gracious hostess. Had there a great Thanlcs-giving-Day dinner, and a merrie
companie; not too large. What with the tempting viands and the jolly companie
I ate much, too much I fear. Had allso a piece of a cake that was of Miss Mary's
baking, very fine, and more cause wherefore to give thanks. The quartette sang
for our hostess, but indifferent well, they having eaten too heartily, but I blame
them not. Again to Woodside, very quick what with the fleet Pear! and staid
untill what time the quartette did sing again. Sang better methought, and to a
great throng and enthusiastick, and made much moneys. So we dispersed, some
to the inn, some to Mistress Holland's where was great feasting and dancing, but
I to Woodside, and eating more, retired.
November 28. Up early and with Buskey, Kelly and Elmore, we went
thence to Onancock, part way by steam-tram, part by petroleum waggon. All
very loathe to depart from Eastville, and I, misogynist though I be, do know the
reason, and left my heart too. Came a fellowe and gave us a quart of stimulant,
saying meanwhiles "I be the guy which hath put the quart in the quartette;'" which
in sooth, he was. To an inn, but too late for dinner, so all to a grocerie store and
had sandwiches of cheese and ham, all eating and it costing but two shillings
threepence. Here Elmore again bedecked himself and the towne-folk could not
but laugh to behold him, in especiall the ladyes. The quartette sang this night
to a large audience, but of ordinarie intelligence. Master Crawford again essayed
a droll speach, saying: "Ladyes and gentlemen, as a speaker I rank witii c?.o
rankest," but heard no dissenting voice, nor yet a litter of laughter, forasmuch as
the people did not comprehend the humour — dullards. Had more oysters, the
finest ever I had and ate two dishes, and so to-bed.
November 28, 29. Slept late and to Exmore afternoon. Was a tavern
there, but so unkempt withal that Master Young bid us to his sister's. Mistress
Ashby, and we very grateful thereat. Sang there and made much moneys. Early
to-bed, rising ere four of the clock, very cold and drowsy, but we needs must
catch the steam-tram and complained not. So home to Williamsburgh and slept.
Slept again. Slept more. Still sleepy.

beard."
At a formal reception "Due" Green, having devoured all his mayonnaise

I ever eat."
Walter Nouise (to Johnny Corbell) : "Johnny, will you get into College

Johnny: "Yes, Walter, with ease (E's), I hojie."

Dr. Tyler (in Economics) : "It's too much trouble to write down all the

There's a great demand on the part of English students for a re-dramatiza-
tion of the Tale of a Tub, given by Dr. Hall on the night of the fire

Tucker: "Come on, Wright, have a drink."
"Pipe": "Can't do it ; I have to have my picture taken with ^ . M. C. A.

John Tyler: "Alas! I am happy."
"Jack" Wright: "Why?"
John Tyler: "Because the space in the annual devoted to jokes on my feet
has been transferred to Dr. Draper."
Dr. Hall: "Mr. Hamlin, who was Quintilian? A Reman emperor, or
president of the United States?"
Hamlin: "One of our first presidents, I think."
Dr. Hall: "Ya-a-a-as, that's right, a Roman rhetorician."
Dr. Hall: "What is a split infinitive, Mr. Drewry?"
DrevkTy (opening his mouth somewhat sleepyly) : "It is . . . ."

Central: "I didn't; the party hung up the receiver!"
Roane (decidedly downcast upon hearing that the picture with which he
is to grace his countenance is to be taken a day later) : "That means I've got to
comb my hair again to-morrow."
Dr. Draper (to Coffield, who is swinging vigorously at the ball) : "Great
Scott, Cody, you need a tennis racket; I could do better than that with a tooth

Cody: "You must have played on a mosquito nine."

"Due" Robinson: "It depends on how big the (w)hole is. Prof."
"Johnny" Corbell (looks for his pound jar of Prince Albert, the contents of
which had been made to disappear rapidly by one Doss, the roommate of "Johnny."
Doss: "What are you looking for, "Johnny?"
"Johnny": "Aw, nuthin" at all; only imaginary sightseein'."
Doss: "All right then, just imagine the Prince Albert jar to be full of tobacco
and we'll both take another smoke."
"Lovey" Elcan (to "Pipe" Wright) : " 'Pipe,' " somebody just told me some-
thing I don't quite understand."
"Pipe" (to "Lovey"): "What is it?"

ON THE night of March 16, 1914, there met at the home of Mr. G. H.
Newbury a group of students for the purpose of organizing a club, the
purpose of which is given below. As yet no name has been given the
organization, but the purpose has been definitely stated and a constitu-
tion has been drawn up and adopted.
The purpose is three-fold;
1st. That we live a life of personal purity.
2nd. That we uphold one standard of purity for both sexes.
3rd. That we disseminate these standards among our fellow-students as far
as possible.
The constitution is not secret and may be read by any one wishing to do so.
The founding of this organization is due most especially to the efforts of Mr.
Newbury.
In choosing the founders he selected one man from each of the fraternities and
several student representatives.
Following are the names of the men who placed their signatures after the
purpose of the organization as charter members and founders:
G. H. Newbury, O. W. Frey, F. W. Cook, J. F. Barnes, F. M. Ciawford,
C. Jennings, E. L. Wright, F. D. Goodwin, H. L. Womack, E. E. Givens,
R. H. Gurley, W. L. Drewry and G. B. Zehmer.
Meetings are held every two weeks, and at the next meeting, Monday,
April 20th, a name will be decided upon and various topics relative especially to
the organization will be discussed.

I HAVE wandered in ihe Valley
By its brooks;
I have loved its very pebbles
And its nooks:
Bui for me ils great enchantment
Is in the mystic spell it holds —
As from mountain foot to mountain
It rolls and rolls and rolls!
I have wandered in the Valley —
i have seen —
Its every meadow covered
O'er in green;
But for me its greatest glory
Is wrapped within its folds.
As it lies there smiling, dreaming.
And rolls and rolls and rolls!
I have wandered in the Valley —
I have roamed —
Where the lovely Shenandoah
Fell and foamed.
But for me its sweetest message
Is the song it sings to souls.
As it lies there, verdant, happy.
And rolls and rolls and rolls!
1 have wandered in the Valley
Where the heel—
Of Sheridan's marauders
Left its seal —
But for me its proudest glory
Is the peace within its folds.
As it blossoms o'er with plenty.
And rolls and rolls and rolls!
I have wandered m tS; Valley —
I have thrilled —
When at golden hour of sunset
All was stilled —
But for me the dearest comfort
Is its home for happy souls
Whom I've loved there in the Vail
As ever on it rolls and rolls!

II IS indeed a great pleasure to look back upon and record our past history,
and with a list of deeds so large and illustrious as ours, the task of the his-
torian must necessarily be an incomplete one, since to record separately each
exploit would be impossible in this short space.
This has been an epoch making year in the history of the Academy; records
of which all are proud have been made in every phase of work. Yet with these
attainments the past session must be characterized chiefly as an invaluable period
of preparation for still greater achievements in the future.
The welfare of athletics is something which the student body must jealously
guard. Nothing is more capable of binding us together as a student body than the
fact of being participants in or spectators together at an athletic game.
Our esprit de corps demands nothing short of success, for a more loyal student
body is not to be found. Through the excellent coaching of Prof. Goodwin and
Dr. Draper, the football team won laurels for itself and for the Academy.
Numerous Academies and High Schools, thinking they had o. "walk-over" when
they met the W. M. A. team, suffered the humiliation of seeing their banners go
down in defeat, while the Academy's floated out to the breeze in triumph. The
basketball team is one of which any institution of our rank might well be proud,
and from all present indications, we are going to turn out the best baseball team
in the history of the Academy.
In literary lines we have also been proficient. The Jefferson Literary Society,
organized last year, has been a great success. We have arranged for dual debates
with Richmond Academy and Maury High School, and the prospects for winning
in both instances are very good.
In parting, let me entreat you not to be content with past victories, nor to rest
upon glories which are already yours, but to keep an eye for the goal and your
accomplishments will be manifold.
"Farewell ! a word that must be, and hath been — a sound which makes us
linger, yet, farewell."

Ilcabemp Senior Class Jlistorp
IT IS with mingled feelings of pleasure and reluctance that your scribe takes
up his pen and addresses himself to the momentous task of WTiting the history
of the Senior Class of 1914; for while it is a pleasure to look back upon and
record our great deeds of the past, yet we are filled with sorrow when we realize
that we must sever our connection with the Academy forever. We have accom-
plished so much in the past that it is impossible to mention all of our achievements
in this short space, hence your present historian must content himself with men-
tioning only the more important features, leaving completion and perfection to a
future and more capable historian.
It was on a bright September morning, three years ago, that we arrived in
the city of Williamsburg. The weather was still quite warm and the atmosphere
was filled with the fragrance of the last roses of summer. When we first beheld
the College, in front of which stood the statue of Lord Botetourt, beckoning us to
enter and drink at the fountain of knowledge where Jefferson and many other
illustrious men had drunk in the past, there came to each of us a feeling of pride
and satisfaction that even we were to be a part of such an institution.
When we entered the Academy, three years seemed an infinite period of
time, and a diploma seemed as distant as the North Star. But the time, well
spent, passed swiftly, and now we are no longer "dues," but Seniors, reveling in
the satisfaction that our course is at last completed.
The historian would here fain dip his pen into the ink again and, guided by
our brilliant past, prophesy for the Seniors a still brighter future in the College;
but it is best to "trust no future, however pleasant." As the curtain falls on this,
the last scene in the first act of the drama of education, we pause to pay a parting
tribute to the Academy.
