Oh I You Fresh.
Into the campus parading in state
Comes now the Fresh all prepared for
their fate,
Ties all of green and with bows on
their shoes,
Bands on their hats all of various
hues;
U.yes of all opcn with mouths all
agape,
Ponpxa<1ours brushed into intest of
shape,
Shouting with laughter and raising a
roar,
Threatening to break in the Sopho
more's (loor.
Iut! when the iorrow ha(d come, it
i.- said,
I lalf of these IF'resh were found unler
the bed,
Pomp)adours ruined andl ties out of
shlape,
IRand on their hats are r-eplaced! with
someC crap)e;
Eyes are dlow~ncast, andl months are all
dumb.
Some of them wish they never had
come.
"Cmmca .:N."
Proof.
"D)o you believe, dloctor-, that that
man is madle of dust ?" asked a stu
dent.
"I don't know about man," r
turned the professor, "but I am sure
girlIs are-they make such a dickens
of.a lot of trouble when they get in a
fellow's eves.-arce's~ w'Vecklv
A Votoe*.
Wild ducks and wild others of riyth
mical beat
Fly south on the wings of the
breeze,
To join their' friends of the aerial
fleet,
Disporting in tropical seas.
The winds of the autumn are wailing
their glee,
But there's a voice that ig nearer,
and alone,
From the corner of my room it is call
ing to me
In an alluring and leathery tone.
I. cannot imagine just what it can be.
For the place where the calling is
heard
Is littered with rubbish of every de
gree,
So the thought of one's hiding's
absurd.
"Oh, come to my rescue," it plain
tively cries,
"I just feel it's the time of the year
For football full-blown in spirals to
rise,
And your jersey is close by me
here!"
Oh, yes, it's that football I've tried to
forget,
(lut I'm glad I have striven in
vain),
I'll go to that corner and excavate yet
That curer of many a pain.
Possessed of the ball, for the field that
is nigh
I have started in padded array,
And have quite determined to gallantly
die
In every consecutive fray!

Carolina.
As a mother fondles her babe on her
knee
Teaching it right from wrong in
things primitive,
So thou takest the youth, raw and un
cultured,
Arming him with veapons to fight
life's battles.
Young and helpless when into thy fold
Comesi he;
Young, but mighty, lie goes forth from
thy portals.
A fewv short years he is tossed on life's
ocean
Using all his strength against the great
billows;
Then wVrinkled, with hair as white as
the snowflakes,
It seems but a day. and he is an old
Mian.
IBit though to him many thoughts may
he bitter,
Though tired of Ii fe, (deathi may seem
as a b)lessing
Many times will lie think of the (lays
long p)assed
Spent in the bosom of 01(1 Carolina !
Game Called Off.
We are very soriry indleedl that the
game of football between Ridgewvood
and Carolina has been called off. The
men at Ridlgewvoodl were very kind last
year and gave us a good game. We
thank them most heartily for their
efforts in our behalf, and appreciate
very highly the spirit which prompted
them to give us a game. We hlope to
see everyone of them dlown on the
field wvhetn we pla om- frst-am.
SOCIETY NOTES.
The Clariosophic and Euphradian
Literary Societies held their first meet
ing for the session of '10-'11 last
Saturday night, September 24th.
We feel very much encouraged, and
the prospects for a great work during
the present session is very bright, if
number is to be considered anything.
Between ninety and one hundred new
men were elected regular members of
the two societies, over half of which
were initiated.
There are many others, to the
knowledge of the writer, who are go
ing to unite, in the near future, witli
one of the two societies. We feel
safe in predicting for the society a
session of progress and prosperity
from the impression that the new
faces have made upon us.
Still there are some who are linger
ing by the wayside with their minds
unsettled as to w'hether they will join
at all or not.
Men, if there is anything that we
can do to show you your condition, to
point out to you just what you are
depriving yourself of, we shall -more
than gladly do it. But we are confi
(lent that you are aware of this, that
the trouble has its source in other
quarters.
We are very grateful to Governor
Ansel for touching upon the impor
tance of uniting yourself with one of
the literary societies, in his address of
welcome last Wednesday. And we
sincerely hopc that every new man
will, as soon as possible, join with us
in the effort to teach men "the habit
of sound thinking," and just how to
express these thoughts. We need you,
for our sake, for the society's sake,
and, greatest of all, for your own
sake. Join vith us.
At a joint imeeting of the two socie
ties, Mr. P. L. Wright handed in his
resignation as business manager of
TuE G.MjiEcocic, and Mr. R. F. Simp
son was elected to fill the position ; also
