EAGLE OR DOVE?
Peace oratoe, here's a hand,
The fates are all against you.
With boom of cannon o'er the
land
How can your spiel be true?
When you begin your song to
tell
Or speak in accents low,
Some guy in front is sure to yell:
"What's the dope from Mexi
co?"
FAREWELL.
With this issue of the Game
cock we lay down the pen and
bid farewell to the world of col
lege journalism. We wish to ex
press our appreciation to all
those who aided us in our efforts,
and especially to the members of
the Eupradian and Clariosophic
literary societies, who saw fit to
bestow upon us this honor and
pleasant task of editing the
Gamecock.
It is with a feeling of sadness
that we now turn over to the
new staff the care of the bird
because we realize that we have
not accomplished all that we
hoped to when first we entered
upon our duties, and we have
left many thing undone that we
ought to have done, but if we
have contributed at all to the fu
ture success of the Gamecock we
feel that we have been not alto
gether a failure. We wish to
express here our gratitude to
the faculty, the student body
and the alumni, who have given
us their support at all times and
have contribu-ed more than can
be expressed to the successful
editing of this college weekly.
We set for ourselves the goal
of making the Gamecock a true
student body publication; to
make it but an expression of
campus life at Carolina. The
readers know just how near we
approached or how far we miss
ed the goal.
Our term as editor of the
Gamecock with its many associa
tions and practical experiences
will always be rememberedI by us
as one of the best periods of our
stay at the University. To the
incoming staff we bid God-speed;
may they derive as much pleas
ure from their labors as we.
T1he new editor-in-chief is one of
our staff andl we know that he
will make of the bird a publica
tion that will reflect credit upon
himself nde upon the UTniversityr
HIGH SCHOOL CONTEST.
The inter-high-school oratorical
and athletic contests held every
year at Carolina bring into our
midst the pick of the high school
boys of the state.
This University following the
"Wisconsin Idea" is ever draw
ing the high schools of this State
closer to her, the purpose being
to form throughout the State
one great educational system.
These high school contests are im
portant in that they bring the
high schools of the State in clos
er touch with one another and in
a measure gives to the high
school student the correct idea
that the high school is but a pre
paratory or primary department
of the state university.
The future of Carolina will be
in the hands of these high school
boys. They will soon be going
to college and probably are try
ine to decide right now which
one to choose as their alma ma
ter.
One of the most notable things
that characterized the contest
held here Thursday and Friday
was the unity in which the stu
dent body worked in trying to
impress upon the high school boys
the true Carolina spirit; to make
them see Carolina as she really
is. We believe that every boy
went home with a better and
clearer idea of the University of
South Carolina, and we hope for
their good as well as the Uni
versity's that many will find
their way back here as students
of the University.
