M o t t o .— We press our knees together before retiring ; every little helps. O b j e c t .— To draw closer together those beings called men whose Creator created them with 110 close rela tion between those joints called knees. F l o w e r .— Bitter week. C o l o r s .— Red, blue, black, then white. This organization was the direct and inevitable result of an indignation meeting held by the students with the above hinted characteristic feature after the appearance of some very insinuating remarks in the R iv eillc. The Klub was dedicated to the “ bow ideals ” of the Class of ’99, Justin Cycloid Daspit and Duncan Parabola Staples. The former did great work in bringing to notice our characteristic while the latter builded for himself an everlasting monument in our memories when he discovered a passage in one of Shakespeare’s plays where it is said that a “ well turned leg ” is fashionable. After much comparing and measuring, the following officers were announced :

W . H . S y l v e s t e r , . Chief Adviser and Presiding Elder at all Meetings. I. C . J o h n s o n , First Sub-Adviser and Presiding Elder at all Meetings. C . A . P a r k e r , Keeper o f Records. R. L. K n o x , Keeper of Funds. J. G. L e b l a n c , Recorder of the Dimensions of Members.

Although he could not succeed in obtaining an office special mention is here made of Mr. Geo. W. Agee, whose right pedestal describes a slight curve and whose left describes the arc of a parabola.

Parting.

I pressed her hand when we did part, I watched her eyes when we did part Her slender hand—and soft and white Her tender eyes—and true and bright And not a single soul in sight— And inward lit with loving light— What could I do What could I do But kiss it, too? But kiss them, too? I saw her lips when we did part Her lips that trembled all afright And were it wrong or were it right- What could I do But kiss them, too?

181 Jamie. Dreaming at midday. Jamie was my sweetheart, Dreaming at mid-day, In the long ago; Doris and I, No one knew the secret, Drowsily watching the shadows that fly. ’Cept she and me, you know. Reading a poem of love, half awake, Fancying life but a cruel heartache. Eyes were like the violets In the morning’s dew; Softly the waters, Cheeks, ah! they were roses, Murmur their song, And lips of crimson, too. Over the pebbles hasting along. Doris is sleeping, her sentinel, I In the evening’s shadows Keep guard while swiftly the dream hours fly. Near the broken stile, In the thicket, nearby, Daily she would meet me The cardinal’s note, With a dimpled smile. Trills, as he proudly exhibits his throat. There we’d sit and wonder The reapers are resting, the whole world asleep, If in future years My heart sighs for Doris, while vigil I keep. We should be parted Her lips are half parted, In bitterness and tears. Oh, such a smile! My heart and my soul completely beguile. Lightly on my shoulder No one was watching— it was not amiss— Her silken hair would rest, I bent over Doris— ishe woke with my kiss. Her hand in my hand lying, — Chesterfield, March, 1900. Her cheek on my cheek pressed.

Faintly o’er the meadows Came the evening bell, As I told my Jamie Just what you would tell.

Lives there a boy with soul so dead, “Have a light, old fellow?

184 It rested where her heart did rest. Life's meaning. And since it ne’er returns to me, “And what is life?” I asked the youth; My soul must bear it company; Said he: “Tis made for honor, truth, So Chloe won my life in fee To render surging day dreams real, And all I am or hope to be T o bend the world to my ideal— When first she gave her heart to me.” “ ’Tis made for me,” said he. “ And what is life?” I asked the man Said he: “’Tis made to toil, to plan, Louisiana girls. To fight for and to win my fame, They’re a lot of merry maidens— To blazon my undying name; Jolly girls! “ ’Tis made for me,” said he. Their bright eyes laugh with joy, “And what is life?” I asked the sage; They are winning, they are coy; “’Tis made to feel the flush of age; There is not one among them That years and knowledge, wisdom bring; But would sorrow’s gloom destroy— That souls, in passing, clearest ring Happy girls! As dying swans their sweetest sing; There’s the blue of Southern skies “ ’Tis made for me,” said he. In their eyes. Ah, dearest heart, ’tis thus I read And their cheeks are like the rose Life’s riddle— when none stand agreed That the South wind gently blows T o sound its mystic meaning true. Into tints of blushing crimson, “ My soul throbs need no answer new, Which no other climate knows For, love, my life was made for you Such a rose! And your life made for me.” There’s the Louisiana sunlight In her hair. Some is brown and some is gold, B fair exchange. And it tangles in your soul “When Chloe shyly gave her heart—> T ill in ecstacy of joy All blushing like a rose fresh blown— You have told the story old; Methought the world had richer grown. You, SO1 bold! And all the increase was mine own! When you hear their merry laughter Ah, never yet did happy wight You are charmed. So lovingly misjudge his plight. Dancing dimples here and there, As wakes the lark when night is done Life and brightness everywhere, And, singing, soars to seek the sun, While with glances of enchantment M y own heart soared to meet its mate, All your senses they ensnare— And following the path of fate Oh, beware! It fluttered to her tender breast— — Chesterfield, Dec. ’99.
