Morose and moody, evil-eyed, We see ill-nature's foolish pride.

One step removed, in willowy grace, S tands Mirth, a smile upon her face,

Replete with light and a i ry things, While a l l around the welkin rings.

Here her attending retinue Of happy youths and maidens too,

Met face to face in coy amaze, They to the other bend their gaze.

We see amidst the fairy t rain The eyes whose favor we would gain;

Those eyes of brown or peerless blue With tresses dark or golden hue.

And something floating on the wind Tells that our looks have been defined,

And intimates in artless glee, T h a t they would please a s well as we.

And so this book, a tribute small, But which in spirit covers all,-

And friendship with i t a s it goes, Each to the other now bestows.

;!

P R E F A C E T is often said that a small group of friends is better

than a wide circle of acquaintances. In our case we think differently. We prefer a wide circle of acquaintances, because experience has taught us that all who know of us, love us, and become our friends upon meeting us.

As a mear~s of increasing this number of acquaintances, this boolc has been prepared. I t is the first of its kind, and therefore has an historical character. We know the critical eye will detect flaws and short- comings, but in spite'of them, we offer this, the product of loving toil, to '

the reader, confident that i t will be received with good will on his part. T o the dissatisfied ones be i t said, " The work will be improved upon next year." We assure all that the articles contained herein have been written in good faith with no thought of malice.

If the book serves to make known to many the name of our beloved Prep. School, if it strengthens school-spirit until the students' interests are bound to hers, if i t promotes good and retards evil, we shall consider our debt of gratitude to C. C. I. partly paid.

History of C . C . I.

I1E year 1866 was the centenary year of American Metho- dism. As a recognition of the fact that the Methodist Church had flourished and grown on the soil of the new continent special celebrations were held during the centenary year. Some of these celebrations were merely temporary-shouts of glory that filled the air ;

others were permanently effective-thanlr offerings to God for his continued favor. One of these permanent expressions of centenary gratitude is the Institute a t Haclrettsto.irn, called " The Centenary Collegiate Insti- tute."

While i t was planned and urged'as early as 1866, it was not opened for students until 1874. The delay in building and opening the school was due to the careful management of a board of trustees who were un- willing to establish a school until it could be done without debt. The high standard of business integrity has been a marked feature of the trustees for thirty years.

When the doors were opened for students in the fall of 1874, the building was acknowledged to be well adapted for school purposes, and for many years was described " as the best of its class." It was built of red brick, five stories in height, with n central square tower. From the railroad and from every view-point of the surrounding country it was the most prominent feature of the landscape about Hackettstown.

The most remarlrable single fact about the school was its extraordi- nary success from the beginning of its career. This was due in large measure to the magnetic personality of its president, tlie Rev. Dr. George H. Whitney, who gave distinguished and meritorious service to the school through a large period of years. He was appointed president in 1869, and spent the first five years in the delicate task of directing and advising the rising school. In 1874 he assqmed the active duties of the

20 THE HACK

position, and continued in charge until 1895. Impaired health con~pelled his resignation, and i t may be said without hesitation that no man ever did richer and truer service in the cause of Christian education and good citizenship than the greatly beloved and successful president of the Institute.

In 1895 the Rev. Dr. W. P. Ferguson was appointed to the presidency. He served five years. During the fall of 1899 the school building was destroyed by fire. The buildings were completely consumed,

but not a life was lost. Among the heroic happenings of the night of the fire was the exhibition of cool bravery on the part of the preceptress, Miss C. J. Hoag, who called the roll of the young women students from memory, and directed the safe-guarding of each of them.

After much discussion it was decided to rebuild, and plans were secured from numerous architects. The successful plans were those of Mr. 0. S. Teele of New Ydrlr City, and the school which now stands,

;I

VOL. I. 21

admirably planned, well built, and superbly equipped, is the result. It cost about $3oo,ooo.

During the kime of its construction and for the first year of its opera- ;ion the president was Dr. Charles W. McCormick. The successful organization of courses, and many of the valuable arrangements of the school, are due to his prudent administration.

In July, 1902, Dr. Eugene A. Noble, then superintendent of the Seney Hospital in Brooklyn, N. Y., came to the presidency. He is a graduate of the Institute, is devoted to its history and tradition, believes in its future, and is its enthusiastic advocate and champion.

Among the devotedffriends and supporters of the Institute no name stands higher than that af the Hon. George J. Ferry, who has been president of the Board of Trustees for over twenty-five years, and whose gifts of time and money represent unexampled devotion and generosity.

A striking fact about the faculty is that Professor 0. 0. Hammond has served for over twenty-five years as teacher of Greek.

When the diminishing indebtedness upon the school is paid, and when a liberal endowment fund has been accumulated, the new and beautiful school which is so widely beloved will take its place among the strongest schools in America.

Editorials

CONTRIBUTORS-To all who have contributed time and labor toward the success of this book, the editors hereby express their grateful appreciation.

GYMNASIUM-C. C. I. has a fairly well-equipped athletic department; one thing however is lacking, a new boys' gymnasium. During the long winter months, a gymnasium furnishes unique opportunities to develop the body and promote health. School spirit can only gain by systematic gymnasium work; wrestling teams, basketball teams, gymnasium contests, can be organized a t little or no expense. In the football and baseball season the swimming pool would be appreciated. Swimming as an exercise is unexcelled and its practical utility is evident. What is more enjoyable than a plunge in the pool or a dash through the limpid water? In a school of this kind a fine modern gymnasium would be a boon. We hope our desire will soon be realized.

KING'S DAUGHTERS-Philanthropic principles, advocated by so many men of note and illustrated by munificent gifts lauded in news- papers, find here a t C. C. I. a humble, beautiful exemplification. Modestly, busily, the " daughters of The King" spy about and seize every opportunity to win with a smiling face something to brighten a sadder one. It is a cheering sight to see young girls apply themselves to manual tasks of all kinds to accumulate the small sums of money generously pledged (all money must be earned). Bound together for tlie purpose of helping, they send out of their circles rays of sympathy-and happiness to the less fortunate. These rays take up various shapes a t different times ; now they appear as a box of clothing ; now as a package of books for poor prisoners ; a t Christmas a box of toys for little folk. Continue, willing workers, send out your sunshine ; it will come back to you a hundredfold. ;/

VOL. I. 23

LEAGUES-The HACKETTSTONIAN has often advocated a general athletic league with other schools,-Blair Hall, Easton High and Pennington. The matter should be looked into during the summer and be settled by September. Last year a league for the promotion of oratory was arranged, a constitution drawn up ; meetings were to be held a t Trenton a t stated times, and a contest once a year a t one of the six schools concerned, the first to be at, Hackettstown. That the matter was not pushed is to be deplored ; the outgoing president had left the work in charge of the other officers. Let us understand C. C. I.'s interests arid take them to heart, and, while providing for diversion and pleasure, make good our claim for good speaking.

LIBRARY.-Our public men a t Washington have a marvelous collection of books a t their disposal. The nation has ordered i t so because to act and rule rightly men must know other men's opinions and experiences. Of the innumerable thoughts of men the spoken ones have left no trace; the written ones alone can guide and enrich us "Les paroles s'envoknf, Zds F'cri'ts resdent." Before the fire of 1899 the school owned a good library ; it was destroyed, and we have now but the beginning of a book collection. There are two ways open to increase it : alan~ni who have prospered ought to think of their Prep. School days and be generous ; sdzldents should pledge themselves to contribute each year one book (or its equivalent in money) towarcjs the enlarging of the library. A committee could be entrusted with the selection, and soon an ample source of information would enable us to pursue serious research in liter- ature and science.

MUSIC.-The school is prominent in music. Its recitals and other musical events always offer instrumental and vocal music of high order. Aside from the regular department work, the students show a great liking for music. At evening a good song with "banjo accompaniment" charms the listener's ear in the distance, while others "fill our eyes with tears." It is clear that with this love for music a series of lectures having for its purpose the broadening of our understanding and appreciation of good music, would be highly profitable. How often is the exhibition of talent a t a Friday Rhetoricals wasted on the impatient listener because the theme of the composition is unseen, or, if

24 THE HACK

seen, remains meaningless. While teaching what music expresses, a knowledge of the existing great works would certainly add to the education of the students. (The majority of us had never heard of " Car- men " when it was performed here last March !) This art goes hand in hand with the others-drawing, elocution, acting, etc., all of which tend to refine our nature and develop a cultured mind.

SCHOOL FLOWER.-Writing poetry reveals most clearly how small our vocabulary is ; i t also is the best means of increasing it. Each student should make it a rule to compose one short poem a week. To encourage writing poetry inspired by C. C. I., i t would be advanta- geous to have a school flower, which would be a symbol of our gratitude and devotion. We have fine school colors, well-sung and cherished ; let us have a school flower. Not only the poet, but the artist will be thankful.

TENNIS.-The sport of tennis is above all others ; this is partly because there is no team work (every one plays as he wishes), partly because df the vigorous exercise i t furnishes. This year there is much interest shown in tennis ; why not increase it still and make i t permanent by organizing tournaments with other schools? Hackettstown could easily be made a tennis centre which, we are sure, would be supported by the neighboring schools. We haw a friend in town who wouldgladly supply a cup, and we have a friend in. school who, unless we are greatly mistaken, will make athletics a t C. C. I. famous (we mean our coach, who, by the way, has started and encouraged the HACK Board). Therefore let us be far-sighted and make use of our opportunity.

Senior History

EN, according to the calendar, the class of '04 was to have come into existence, no merry school-song charmed the echoes of the Musconetcong Valley ; the thriving institution existed but in name; just a few former students, hoping for better days, held together under the faithful Professor Hammond. A year later

the unfinished school buildings were opened for students, and soon the outloolc for the class brightened. Alas ! scarcely had we been gath- ered a few months when another interruption caused a new loss in membership. But those who returned in the same year to make up for lost time were ready to assume the duties of Juniors in the following fall.

In September, 1902, a goodly host reinforced our band and from then on no more misfortunes blocked the path of the class. With one spirit, true to the blue and gray, they formed an energetic and clever class of 28 in number.

Our relations to the '03 class were pleasant. Some tricks were played on either side, and we like to think that ours were ever successful, while theirs were generally thwarted by our vigilance. As a definition of our sentiments we gave the '03 class a solemn, sincere farewell a t the banquet held in their honor on June 16th, 1903.

Many honors were won and many positions of trust held by members of this class. A Junior was awarded the "all around " medal on Field Day ; a Junior was captain of the football team, six members of which were his classmates; another edited the HACKETTSTONIAN. This year again the class has loyally served C. C. I.; six out of eight members of the HACKETTSTONIAN staff are Seniors ; eight football players belong to the class ; a Senior edits the " HACK."

With sadness a t heart we see the year draw to a close ; for three years we have cultivated an esprit de corps, and common aims have created strong ties which time cannot break. When the day to leave arrives, to leave the generous home where we learned much, both in books and hearts, the fragrant memories will enable us to guide our, bargqpright over the sea of life.

Class of 1903

3W use doth breed a habit in a man, says Shakes- peare. The constant thinking of the past may easily become habitual. We are nearing the end of a successful school year and as members of the graduating class we have some idea of the tender ambitions and hopes the members of previous classes

have harbored for C. C. I. The class of 1903 labored under difficulties, not the least of which

was the amount of work to be done after the stirring events of 1899- 1901. The practically new school was to stand where C. C. I. had stood after twenty-six years of steady efforts. We feel that the class honorably discharged her trust. With grateful hearts do we turn now for a moment to the brave group of 1903, and while singling out each one, we wish to all such success in their various careers as they have had during their stay with us.

A. Francis Chamberlain, the gymnast, known as " Prof. Stunts " or "Rig Chambee," is president of the Freshman class at New York University. The vice-president of that same class is our end man, Clarence Blake, the future lawyer. Brilliant Herbert Chamberlain ["Little Chambee") is a t Wesleyan, where Frank Dickisson and Henry McLean join him in the enjoyment of Freshman experiences. Emily Muller, Pearl Norton and Ruby Xorton were entered at the Woman's College in Baltimore ; Ruth Pipher is a t the Latin school in the same city. The valedictorian, Ellen Cook, and her chum, Sophy Smith, are a t Miss Hunter's, in New York, studying kindergarten methods. Annie Shields is also in New York a t the Normal school. Frank Kinsey, our promising twirler, is a t Lafayette, following a course in science. Cor- nell Medical College has George Kanouse as our representative. J. Miller Welsh, everybody's friend, is busy a t the Coleman National

42 THE HACK

Business College in Newark, and John Poppe a t Drew Seminary. Two of the girls are devoting themselves to the arts : Mary Wade a t Cooper Union and Carrie Shields a t the Boston National School of Oratory.

The next group have entered the business world. Frank Conwell is with the Brooklyn Business Institute, Walter Vernon with a firm in New York, Elwyn Wintermute with W. S. Matthews and Sons in New York, Benjamin Pearce with the Prudential Insurance Company in Newark, and Joseph Cummins with his father a t Washington, N: J.

Still another group have chosen the experiences of home life. They are Jean Redheffer at Jersey City; Grace Marlatt a t Port Murray; . Caroline Bell, Elizabeth Lamson and Amy Fox a t Hacl<ettstown ; Mabel Fullerton a t Ridgewood and Virginia Gerken a t New York City.

Of the thirty members of the class, eighteen are pursuing studies, five are in business and seven a t home. '04

Diokosopnlan Society

dULTANEOUS1,Y with the founding of C. C. I., a girls' local organization for the development of literary talent was established and called the "Diokoso- phian Society. " T o bring, in a larger degree, culture and refinement into the lives of young women, to create "a home within a home," where the close fel-

lowship arising from the pursuit of common aims should be enjoyed, to furnish opportunities for self-sacrifice ; thus i t was that the members in- terpreted their duty.

Except for the conflagration which destroyed the old hall, the history of the society is a tale of prosperity. Many of the souvenirs of twenty-four years' labor had been lost in 1899, but not all. Diokoso- phian ideals were not such as fire could touch. " Sisters in wisdom, " their name means ; events have justified the title. The members recognized early that faithfulness alone wins the day. An exhibition of this quality is furnished by the records in scholarship. Out of the twenty- eight valedictorian honors awarded by the school since its existence, twenty-five have been held by Diokosophian girls.

During all the years of her history, the society has been prominent in school life. Perhaps the dearest memory to a Diokosophian girl is the farewell given jointly with the Whitney Lyceum in 1895 to the re- tiring president, Dr. Whitney. A series of exercises was given consist- ing of a program rendered in the chapel, a public reception and a banquet presided over by the Rev. Dr. J. M. Buckley.

Thus the members strive on for the constant improvement of society and C. C. I. in the pursuitlof "wisdom" and true to their colors.

Whitney Lyceum

N September, 1874, a band of fifteen young men, after considering a plan to found a chapter of the Alpha Omega Fraternity, decided to organize in an inde- pendent literary society. The use of Rev. Dr. George H. Whitney's name was granted on the condition that only first-class students should be admitted. Ever

since the endeavor of the society has been to remain true to the pledge. The preparations for the formal organization oE the " Whitney Lyceum " were quicltly terminated, and on February 26, 1875, the school and its friends assembled in the chapel to witness the first public rendering of a literary program a t C. C. I. The president and vice-president a t the inaugural exercises were Rev. William Trumbotver and L. A. Van Syckle, M. D., respectively.

Once a week, after school-tasks had been honorably discharged, a secret meeting filled the few hours left, which to many meant as much as the class-drill of the school. Literary ability was developed, inde- pendent t h o ~ ~ g h t encouraged by the constant observance of parliamen- tary law ; but better still, the " brothers," whether in the hall or outside of it, cultivated thq highest type of unselfish love. True to their motto, they found strength in love ; on love they built ; in love they prospered.

This flourishing condition was abruptly brought to a stop on account of tlie well-known calamity. However, C. C. I. soon rose from its ashes, and with i t the "Purple and Gold." Truly the blow had been a hard one : the tangible proofs of consistent work were gone ; the membeis scattered (with one exception, not one of the present active members was in the society two years ago). But spirit is a mighty power : the old standards are revived ; the lively interest of former members, the inspiration that comes in toiling for noble ends, the endear- ing memories of the past, all point onward t a the bright light-success.

Peithosophian Society

'TER several years of the existence of the Diokosaphian Society, the number of students increased in such a manner that i t was deemed advisable to create a sec. ond girls' organization on a similar plan. Accordingly, in the year 1880 the Peithosophian Society was founded and soon the excellent effects competition produces

on literary work were clearly shown. T o Miss Emma J. Morrow and other promoters of the new enterprise, much of the future success of the society was due.

The purpose and aim of the Peithosophian Society is to inspire the individual to nobler and higher ambitions in life, to bring out tlie tal- ents of each, and encourage them in the fulfillment of the duties of school life.

The growth of the Peithosophian Society was rapid; to reflect honor upon her was, and is, the ambition governing the actions of each member. Prospects were a t their best when, in 1899, everytliing came to a standstill. In that same school-year (March, 1900) however, in spite of difficulties, the society presented one of tlie finest anniversaries on record. Then for a whole year, work was discontinued, and many students never returned. Still with C. C. I. life started anew ; the present society is able and vigorous.

The secrecy enforced concerning all matters pertaining to the society furnishes a wide field for the exercise of self-control. This wise provis- ion gives importance to the smallest detail, while it adds dignity to the conduct of the members. The standard of the society has been kept higli, to work in purity and justice, for the greater glory of the hall is the solemn pledge of each member.

Alpha Phi Fraternity-Zeta Chapter

62 THE HACK

Alpha Phi E literary society kno~vn as the Hackettstorvri Chap- ter of the Philomathean Fraternity was establisked in the first year of the school's history-1874. For several years excellent work was done in the society. The members took their trust seriously.

In 1885, for various reasons, a change became neces- ary. The Chapter resigned from the Philomathean Fraternity and sought a new home. A charter was granted by the Alpha Phi Fraternity, and the Society became its Zeta Chapter. The name was changed, but the solid foundation laid by the sturdy "Philos" was not shaken. The Alpha Phi boys to this day think with grateful hearts of the brave pioneers who made the path smooth for the present Fraternity.

The hall was destroyed by fire in 1899. The loss of many fine and precious souvenirs was irreparable. The members quickly rallied a t the opening of school in 1901, and encouraged by the support of the other chapters succeeded in continuing the work done before the fire.

A credit to the Alpha Phi Fraternity, a source of strength and joy for the school, the Zeta Chapter ended each year with some new success on its record. Today the Chapter is one of the strongest in the Fraternity, while it occupies a prominent rank among the literary or- ganizations in the school.

In closing, a few words as to what the Fraternity means to her members. They wish to become as perfect as possible in literary work and public speaking ; but there is more. "Harmony and Love" is the motto. Each member seeks to be in perfect harmony with his fellow- member, and to do all in his power to help him be honest and straight- forward, to have every virtue a t its highest and every fault, if possible, crushed.

HE FOOTBALI, season for 1903 T did not look very promising a t the opening of the fall term. There were six vacancies in the previous year's team, and but few new men seemed to have football ability. This, however, did not discourage our coach Denman, who immediately set to work with the determination to develop a good team. He succeeded, and although the defeats by Blair Hall seemed enormous, yet the work of the team in general was successful.

The season started off with a surprising, and, i t seemed, discourag- ing deEeat by the Easton High School eleven. The Easton boys played " snappy," and had little difficulty in running up a score of 35 to o against a comparatively new team which had been playing together for about one week. The defeat was turned to profit. The boys were

VOL. I. 73

found promptly every day on the field ready for hard practice. T h e Easton High game had shown our weak points, and the coach found it easy to drill a willing eleven.

As the season progressed the team gradually improved : they succeeded in defeating Pennington and Erasmus Hall by good scores and did equally well against Lafayette Sophomores and Bethlehem Prep.

On the whole the 1903 football season was saticfactory. We ran up I 58 points against 119 of our opponents. l 'he fact is due chiefly to the effective coaching of Prof. Denman and the work of the faithful scrub.

INE'TEEN hundred and three's baseball team started off well. A good captain and hard-working fellows were material which seemed promising. "Kinsey will line the ball in, John Day won't muff, Zimmy can stop a trolley, Bennie's the stuff, short stop is full of ginger third's full of fire ; fielders can cover acres, each

one's a flyer," was a song which we sang last year, and which summed up well the characteristics of the players.

We lost the two games we were most desirous of winning-Blair Hall and Pennington. However, no one had cause to be dissatisfied, for, as we look back, we find that the team did fairly good work, not super- lative, but good enough to uphold the standard of C. C. I.

\Ve had a famous pitcher, and his men supported him well, especially the excellent catcher, who seldom ~ d e an error. The batting was defective. Welsh, Day and Kinsey were always to be depended upon, however. Considering that the team had no coaching whatever, but what experience had taught them five games won, three lost, one tied is a record not to be ashamed of. In this branch, as in any other branch of athletics, the handicap resulting from the break in the regular course of events made itself felt. Conditions are improved now. A devoted coach gets every ounce of ability out of the players, and with the enthusiasm characteristic to C. C. I., much success may be expected in

;,the future.

ACK Athletics a t C. C. I. in the past years have been a somewhat dormant branch of the general athletics, not because of the lack of material and interest in this particular branch, but on account of the lack of x convenient track for daily practice, and of outside meets to encourage the men.

The Athletic Association holds an annual field-day. Every man has the privilege O F contesting for the prizes given for the first three places in every event, besides an "all-around" prize given to the man winning the greatest numb* of points.

These annual field-day events are interesting. The contest generally consists of fifteen or sixteen events, such as running, jumping, hurd- ling and all those peculiar to track meets.

This year we are looking forward to a successful and prosperous season in track work : the Association now has a one-fifth mile cinder track on the back campus ; a manager and captain are preparing the work, while our coach lool<s hopeful in regard to the several meets scheduled with neighboring schools, and a team will be sent to two or threeidnterscholastic contests.

The Greatest School in Ameriky

" Yis, me dear," said Mr. McCarthy, " 'tis a great school to be sure. Phwin I arrived indoors it was rainin' thot harrd outside it's a xvondher the roof didn't leak. Doctber Noble met me in the hall. ' This is not Hackettstown weather,' says he. ' I hope not,' says I ; ' I prefer me weather undiluted.' 'Diluted is it ? ' says he, 'an' phwat could be betther than wather for dilutin' ? In New Yorlc yure weather is diluted wid dust and n~icrobes.' ' I doan't mind thot,' says I ; ' it's 011 in the way yure brought up.'

" W e was in the Administhration Buildin', whose chief use is in kapin' the other two apart. The Docther introjuced me to a tall solemn-loolrin' mon wid glasses named Slocum. 'An' jist phwat is the precise nacher av coeducation?' says I. ' Coeducation,' says Slocum, ' consists in the seperation av the sexes. You see,' says he, ' over there is the byes' dormitory, an' over there is the gurrls' dormitory, an' this buildin', 'manin' the Administhration Buildin', ' is phrvare the faculty stays together to ltape the byes and gurrls apart.' 'An' do they suc- ceed ? ' says I. ' Beautiful,' says he, growin' eloquent. ' They meet only undher the eyes av their insthructors, and the natheral uproarious- ness an' blatherskitin' av the byes is subjected to the softenin', shwatenin', and mollifyin' influence av the gurrls.' ' Sure, 'tis a gret system, indade,' says I.

" The Docther came back a t thot moment from separatin' a bye and gurrl thot was tallzin' down the hall. 'The greatest school in Ameriliy, me dear sir,' says he. ' We are the people, and no mishtalie. No wan else is in our class a t 011, a t 011.' ' Thot's the place for Mary and Dinnis,' says I, ' only, bein' brother an' sisther, they've been ust to

'seein' each other wanst in a phwile.' ' Thot can be aisily arranged, we hov receptions Friday noights,' says he.

" We wint into the byes' dormitory. ' Can the taychers see around a corner? ' says I ; for yez must Itnow, me darlint, thot the dormitories

" From upstairs came floatin' the sthrains av a brass band, ivery mon playin' for himself and the --, but yez know the rest av the sayin'. ' Sure,' says I, ' and are they practisin' for a wake ? ' I t was jist such harmony we was discoorsin' a t a wake wanst in the owld counthry, phwin the corpse sat up in his coffin an' said, ' I protest in the name av the law against this unsalnely dishturbance.' We wanted to kill him for shpoilin' the wake.

" The Docther laughed. ' No,' says he, ' thot's only the future successor to Pat GiImore and Johnny Susa leadin' the band. Sint Pathrick's Day's acomin', an' they're agoin' to hov their picters talrin in uniform.'

" ' Do the gurrls make music loike thot ? ' I asked. ' Oh no,' sags he, 'ye2 could hear a pin dhrop in anny part av the house a t anny toime.' We wint into the gurrls' dormitory next. At wan place in the hall I could hear the sound av three pianas, an organ, and three fiddles 011 playin' different chunes. I was wondherin' if the Docther had referred to the couplin'-pin av a locomotive, phwin he read me thoughts,-he's a sharp mon, the Doctlzer is. ' Thim gurrls is practisin' for the anny- uersary,' says he ; ' i t is usually as silent as the grave.' ' And phwat's the annyversary ? ' says I. ' The annyversary, av which there are two,' says he, ' is a social function peculiar to us, It is a t that time that we show the wondherin' public ph&at we can do phwen we really thry. The young min and womin put on their Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes, and the young min send invitations to the young womin, invitin' thim to hov the pleasure av takin' thim to the annyversary. Av coorse, they doan't take then a t 011, a t ol1,'says he. ' Thot wud never do. But they hov the pleasure av invitin' thim an' the gurrls .av acceptin' the invitation.' "Tis a remarkable system indade,' says 'I. ' Thot's the furrst I iver hearrd av a bye invitin' a gurrl not to go wid him to a party.' ' You misapprehind me,' says he. ' They doan't ask them not to go ; it's merely understood that they wan:t go.' ' An,' says I, ' does ivery bye invite a gun1 ? ' ' Oh no,' says he. 'You see, we hov a recep-

Some av the byes know that they can't converse for five hours widout repaytin' their sintimints, so they doan't send anny invitation. They can then talk to all the gurrls for a little time apiece an' say the same thing to each wan.' ' Sure, an' there's more'n wan way av gettin' over a fence, as my frind said phwin a bull tossed him over wan,' says I. 'Well, Docther, I'm obliged to ye.

The Waiters' Board Let history's page relate of mighty wars , Of states' dissentions and their settled scores; The noise of conquest and the battle's song, How empires westward sweep their way along, Of great inventions,-greater yet to be; How aerial ships shall sai l the aer ial sea, Perform the work that's now performed by cars, And take us for a Sunday call to Mars- We much prefer to take a hlgher berth; In lowly s trains to s ing of noble worth Which, rather than to s lay a brother human, Will feed his brother man and sister woman.

A Letter From Jimmie to T e d

HACKETTSTOWN, N. J., March 28, 1904

Bear Ten':-I suppose that, being a very faithful and studious sort of chap, the first thing that would interest you about our school is the curriculum.

I confess that I was myself somewhat surprised a t the peculiar modes of teaching, especially that of Grecian history, and for your enjoyment if not your edification I am going to outline this particular work.

In the first place we do not go back to prehistoric times and dig up characters to study, but rather fit the history to characters in our midst ; and we have a choice lot of heroes and tyrants to pick from.

In writing of Greece and her triumphs historians always associate the names of those who were together responsible for the facts ; but in our department we care nothing about the order of time, for we believe that Draco might have done just as much good in the time of Philip as in his own time.

When we came to associate the name of Demosthenes we found difficulty, but you can judge of our success as you read this description of our friend Mr. Wilding, the modern Demosthenes.

" Demosthenes was a slender, sallow youth who never enjoyed sport, always stayed with his mother, defective in voice, awkward and weak in body ; but these defects were redeemed by his power of oratory and strength of soul."

We expect great things of Mr. Wilding in the future. The next one we study is Hippocleides, that ardent wooer of Agar-

iste, who in a fit of carelessness danced his chances of her away. The portrayal of this character was quite acceptably given by ou

friend L. Brent Foster, who has assumed all the ardent affections o Hippocleides.

126 THE HACK

" Philip of Macedon," history says, " was a half barbarian, with a voracious appetite for learning, an incessant toiler, willing to sacrifice any part of his body for honor."

The likeness of Mr. Faraday fills this place, with a few slight cor- rections which were shown in our notebooks ; for instance, the voracious appetite for learning was changed to a voracious appetite for food, this being as near as he could approach to it. We puzzled about his losing a part of his body for honor, but were pleased to hear that Mr. Faraday had lost the entire contents of his bread basket in looking for running honors.

In connection with " running " the name of Pheidippides comes to mind, and the palm of Pheidippides the runner went to Mr. Will Miller, who as a distance runner they say has no equal.

" Over the hills, under the dales, Down pits and up Peaks, "

Mr. Miller ought to go, but unfortunately, unlike Pheidippides, he never finishes a race.

. Turning from sport we seek the circles of art, and placing Pindar

in the front we find his worthy equal in Oscar G. Bauman. Turned towards the past and filling his mind with myths and re-

ligious lore, loving the heaven-born nobility; but willing to write or sing for the coin, this description fits either one acceptably.

Soaring into another realm we seek Pythagoras, the man of figures, fitly portrayed by Prof. Brown, numbers being to him the prop and staff of life, the primary idea and cause of all things. One exception in the case of Pythagoras versus Brown, was the suspicion that Prof. Brown could not live a n austere life, abstain from animal food, and perform rituals with enjoyment to himself; however we gave him the benefit of the doubt.

The shoes of Aristophanes the Greek comic writer were filled by Samuel Quackenbush, who will undertake to write anything that looks like poetry, but steers clear of the real thing.

In the same room with Aristophanes we found Epaminondas--we call him Munson-a harmless dreamer, thought to be, but one who will

VOL. I. 127

some day become a strong leader if he will only stop trying to puzzle out phenomena.

Theseus, the valiant hero who fought savage beasts, was taken by Charlie Benjamin, he being accomplished in that art, having a wild one as his room-mate.

Socrafes, called the ugliest of ugly men, with a large bald head, protruding eyes, flat nose and thick lips, and bandy-legged, but with a rare soul, was a hard character to place, but we finally settled on Mr. Reberger as the nearest approach.

We anticipate the missing link, a bald head, will be in Mr. Reber- ger's possession in a few years.

The somewhat varied character of Eylon seemed to fit our brother Walkley. You know history tells us that Eylon was an ambitious young man, who won a victory in the Olympic games; he was also a usurper of the government.

Now Mr. Walkley is a very ambitious youth (in certain lines) and he has also won a victory in the C. C. I. field-day sports, and we find that he is making a large attempt to usurp all honors in the sprinting line.

Perhaps the student picked out to portray Themistocles does not fill the bill as acceptably as he should ; but we believe Mr. Snyder to contain all the energy and intelligence, a s well as brilliancy of Themis- tocles, along with a few accomplishments or failings that Themistocles did not possess.

Themistocles died by a dose of poison. Our advice to Mr. Snyder is, " Go thou and do likewise. "

In thinking of Draco, we could not help but associate the person of Prof. Phillips with his.

Draco was a great lawyer. Prof. Phillips hopes to be some day, even though he is nearing the sunny slope of life.

We have a student in our school who might acceptably fill a number of places ; but we finally settled him in the guise O F Pericles.

Pericles was a young man, but recognized as a leader ; he controlled the multitude, and led them, rather than was led by them.

Kenneth Thurston Reed, whom you have heard of as " Thermop, " is a young man recognized by all as the leader in anything that can

mean deviltry. He is controlled and led by the crowd rather than lead- ing them.

Cyrus, king of Persia, was a great man with large possessions, but he wanted more.

Mr. DuBois is a great boy with large possessions of avoirdupois ; but he wants more, and we honestly believe he will attain to his desire.

There was a great man in Grecian history called Solon, one of the seven Sages, a general as well as a thinker, a writer and an orator.

We have a boy in the school, by name Hance, who, coming of good stoclr, the seventh son, has managed to inculcate these principles of Solon in his life, and so we gave the place of Solon to him, and he is keeping up bravely under the great honor.

We could not think of studying this subject without somewhere placing our beloved friend, Geo. blaggie Taylor, in the list of heroes.

And, in coursing over the array, we fitted the character of Alcibi- ades to his.

Alcibiades was a young man of high birth, of fascinating personality, but violent in some things, seeking for self-indulgence, self-interest.

George Taylor we understand comes from Maryland, therefore he must be of high birth among the colored folk. He is of a fascinating personality, as any of the fair sex will tell you, but unfortunate state for him, he is a t times violent with affection for others, and seeks to engulf

risses. his friends with smiles, laughter and I-' There is another character in our school that deserves a passing

thought in this historical data, and as nothing in the Greek could fit him, we made a character for him, and called him in the Latin, Viscor, for he is unable to recognize a Greek name.

Yes, I mean Wilson ; you know him then? The only redeeming feature about him is the fact that he can finish any eatables you have left over.

9nd now, tho' I have not told you all, I fear I may tire your brain, so mi11 bid thee farewell with the promise to write you again and let you know of our success with the new style of teaching.

Affectionately Yours, '' JIMMIE "

Mercury Drops Have you ever heard of Mercury? for brevity called "Merc," The messenger of Jupiter,-whose sole Olympian work

Was simply to hurl bolts of wrath At everyone who crossed his path:

A wretched cruel practice, unlike deity, more like Turk.

Well, Mercury was out one day, a'speeding down the wind, When he ran across a strange device, of sui-generis kind;

An auto-motor kite machine, Marked "Langley9'-painted blue and green,

And the puzzle how to run the thing possessed his youthful mind.

He straddled over sundry ribs, then grabbed a handle-bar, T o which he gave a vicious jerk, and that propelled the car.

He got it going good and fast, Soon reached speed limit, then got past,

But he didn't mind the warning wheeze, the angry creak and jar.

Now Mercury could go afoot and beat the Empire State; He didn't need a modern trick to amplify his gait.

His curiosity got giddy; T h e car became unsteady (sic)

And when the thing erupted it knocked him out quite straight.

His winghd foot was badly wrenched where Achilles got some whacks, His head was loosely jointed where the chicken got the axe;

From toe to top he felt quite sore, If he'd "lost his head" he might have swore.

But he used Olympian Alpha Oil, which I think will cure weak backs.

The moral I would point to you, my courteous reading friend I s to keep yourself where you belong, and your own affairs attend.

If you t ry to act like a giraffe You'll find your neck not built to laugh;

E'en the gods of Mount Olympus, when they're nosey, need to mend.

130, THE HACK

A Queer Experiment " I11 the Musconetcong Valley " Dwelt two maidens fa r renown8d. " One had sltill in y ~ e l d i n g brushes, " Sketches made in water color; " Chose her paints a s i f by magic, " Making harmony of chaos. ' ' Charming, too, the other maiden; " She with music did bewitch men, " Played on instruments of sweetness, "Yes, her very step was music; " Music, too, her cheery smile was. '' But these two far-famed damsels " Had another a r t in common. " Mounted each on curious structures, " They outstripped the fleetest runner; " Flew so fast, rods lay behind them '' E r e the lazy dust had risen. " Many miles they rode together " On the tow-path of the river," " Known in terms more unpoetic " A s the lazy canal Morris. " One mild afternom of autumn " They were swiftly wheeling homeward '' Through the golden Indian summer. " A s they breathed the a i r of Heaven " They were feeling most fantastic,

Twining bittersweet in garlands " Round their necks i n wild profusion, ' ' When, without a moment's warning,- " She who teaches grace to others, " Bids them die or be artistic, '' Plunged head first into the river, " Quite regardless that Gray matter " After diving should be upright! ' I 'Preached,' YOU say, ' but did not practice.' '' Ah1 YOU little know the sequel:

VOL. I. 131

" Though her head was under water " Her artistic sole ' was stranded " Safely still among the grasses. "First she tried to pose as Neptune, " Then the Gladiator dying; " But each time she found the water ' I Not conducive to the classic. ' I SO she scrambled for her footing, " On the bank a t l as t she landed, I ' Then the young and fair musician " Felt tha t she had missed her calling, " Longed her soul to paint a portrait " That would fill the world with rapture. ' I Muddy was the snowy shirt-waist " Of the soused and dripping maiden, I ' Most Medusa-like her locks were. " Ril ls and rivulets and rivers I' Slowly trickled through her shoe-strings; "But her ever-buoyant spirit " Could not yet be downed with ducking. " Slowly plodding C. C. I.-ward '' Brightly smiled she on t h e landscape. " Should you chance to meet this maiden " I implore you to remember " Though she paints in water colar "She prefers d r y jokes to wet ones."

Professor Leroy Brown, teaching Physics : "The polarization of light, just as we said before,-now some one

has been asking for this, I think Mr. Trimmer, possibly some others,- well, anyway, as the book says-you find it in some text-books different but it is perfectly correct that . . . (after a pause) you go through a lot of unnecessary work. What good does it do you? You ought to have no trouble understanding that, what's bothering some of you is how we get the light in one direction. Now take tourmaline plates and perform Experiment No. 210, and what does it show ? Simply this, the light passes through, but can't get any further. Any questions you may have on this subject ask outside. Now some of you better get to work at this ! Excused."

The May Queen You must wake and call me early, call me early, Bauman dear; To-marrow '11 tie the happiest d a y of al l the dear school year: Of a l l the dear school year, Bauman, the maddest, merriest day, For I'm to be Queen o' the May, Bauman, I'm to be Queen of the May.

I work so hard a l l day, Bauman, that I shal l never wake, Unless you call me loudly, when the d a y begins to break; But I must gather knots of flowers, with buds and garlands gay, For I'm to be Queen o' the May, Bauman, I'm to be Queen 'o the May.

The Upperclassmen will take me, Baum, down on the campus green, And there they'll dance till la te a t night around their chosen Queen, They'll stand m'e on a barrel, where I'll have to speak and sing, And with my Aphrodite songs, I ' l l make the campus ring.

They'll deck me out in long-trained dress, and black my pretty face, And on my head a n old s t raw ha t in honor will they place; And a l l the Freshmen who that night around the campus stray, Will be brought down, when I a m crowned, to kiss the Queen o' May.

But hark1 the clack i s striking twelve; the night will soon be gone, And wlth i ts happy joyous tune will come the May Day morn: Ohl sweet and s trange i t seems to me that I shal l be crowned Queen Beneath the morrow's waning light, down on the campus green.

S o don't fororffet to wake a n d call me early, Bauman dear; To-morrow'll be the happiest d a y of a l l this year; Of a l l the dear school year, Bauman, the maddest, merriest day, For I'm to be Queen o' the May, Bauman, I am to be Queen o' the May.

Sub Rosa [Some inside in fornzation on methods of markiq- papers. ]

Dr. Noble " flunlts every thirteenth one," although he denies having any tendency toward superstition.

Being superstitious Professor Brown PASSES every thirteenth one. Professor Gay uses the " water-pitcher method." He throws the

papers a t the pitcher, inclined a t an angle of thirty degrees ; those which go in the pitcher pass, the others flunk.

Professor Slocum uses the French system, marking the student what he OUGHT to have got.

Professor Stone keeps on giving examinations until somebody passes. With Miss White i t is purely a matter of temperament, but she

doesn't say whose. Professor Denman " lets Mrs. Denman mark the papers for exercise

after brealrfast." Miss Fort6 taltes the marks from the calendar, arranging them alpha-

betically. Mrs. Knight says she puts down the first thing that enters lier head. If

nothing enters, the pupil flunks. Miss Gray is " controlled entirely by atmospheric conditions. " Professor Phillips-still undecided.

134 THE HACK

Testimonial N o b k Sirs :

I Wood like to testify to the beneficent effects I have experienced through the application of your cereal food. I tried Fort6 other foods without success ; from the first Knight I ate Grape Nuts I have not been able to eat anything else. I sleep like a Stone and am always Gay. Your food is satisfying and can Phillip a person as beefsteak Wood. My hair, once Brown, speckled with Gray and Slocum-ing out, is now \Vhite. It has had other good effects.

Our family first tried Grape-Nuts ; Denman-y of our neighbors followed our example. Now Mir-teenies-t little one is as fat as a Cherub.

b Sirs, I wish you success in your Noble cause. (Name furnished on application.)
