THOSE CONTESTS One of the judges in deliver ing the decision for one of the society contests the other night took the pains to remark about the conspicious absence of the student body at the contest. Now this is a thorn in the side: of every man connected with the societies. What contestants are trying to get in these con tests is ease and power in speech and this they cannot do without a suffIciently large audience to see. One of the more ancient stu dents on the campus told us that he remembers the time when! the halls could not occomodate the crowds who attended the intra-contests. Just what is the cause of the inattention this year we cannot say. Of course its too late to do anything about it this year, but let's remember next year to take in a good thing when we can. I '' As this is the last issue of THE GAMECOCK we have intentionally delayed the publication of this edition in order to write up some important events which should b)e recorded. We promise you' that we shan't do this again this: year, for This is our last attempt for the year, and with it we wish you a fond farewell. The year has been a long one, as collegi years not infrequently are, bu it certainly has been a succees ful and eminently enjoyable one Those who have been here fo: several years have noted wit] pleasure the. revival of the ol( time "pep" and enthusiasm a: contrasted with the lack of col lege spirit the two years before May joy and peace go witl you all wherever you may so journ-whether to the enchant ing work of harp selling; to th4 wheatfieldb of Minnesota; or t< the powder works of Virginia may your paths be paths ol beauty and your ways be ways ol peace. Then to the seniors, who de. serve special mention-don'1 forget us when you go away but remember we still think ol you and, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." To A. E.Merrimon Out of the deep of night A distant arch of light, Lofty and lornly bright, From heaven's immeasurable galaxy Doth shoot an aureate star, rhat trembles faintly far Dn heaven's utmost bar, Swift sinks into the shadowing sea. Dut of the weary womb k life doth largely loom And then the swarded tomb! Companion of the dark and groping worm. Dut of the darker deep A life doth slowly creep And then a silent sleep! One with the dust-a crumb ling form! [n wild and wailing mood Doth move the multitude )f men in earth's prelude 3ad broken music of eternity! A breath upon the deep, Lost in the ears they weep, A sail on death's vast deep, Launched forth upon the shore less sea. )ut of the deep we come And pass in labor dumb, [s this the utmost sum? Hath life no ultimate goal of higher good? But, ah, eternity Doth mark a larger lea Beside a vaster sea A loftier life of chastened blood. As in gray grief I grope rhere breathes a higher hope rhat dawns in broadening scope, And bids my heavy sorrow pass and cease: )ut of mine earthly woe B~ternal love shall flow, A greater wisdom grow, Wrought unto balm of perfect peace.
