EDITORIALS In this, our final, issue of the Hyak, we Juniors want to offer our deepest gratitude and our sincerest thanks to all those who have aicrea us so greatly in our attempt to continue the standard of gt od work set by the Seniors of the past year. First, we wish to say how deeply grateful we are to the English teachers, Miss Smith and Miss McGraw, for their invaluable assistance, and to Miss Frahm, Miss Williams and the many others of the faculty who have given us the support of their encouragement and approval. To Dorothy Atkinson and her assistants we feel that we owe unending thanks, for their never failing interest and their tireless efforts have contributed more than words can express toward making a success of this magazine. As for the other girls who have done so much for the Hyak, and who have done it so willingly, we can only wish that throughout their lives they may have as true and faithful friends, as earnest, steadfast and competent co-workers as they have proven to us. REBECCA STEVENSON.

16 H Y A K EXTRACT FROM THE CATALOG Every effort is made to give the pupils an environment of culture and refinement and the comforts and pleasures of a genuine peniten- tiary life. A short religious service is conducted by the initiated Juniors class every evening after dinner. Pupils only are expected to attend. The regulations concerning the family life are made for earnest, conscientious girls who can be trusted to do right when under constant supervision. Only such rules are formulated as have been found neces- sary by the girls in the well ordering of a large faculty. If accompanied by a reputable physician, a lawyer of good standing, the local police force and state militia, the older pupils are allowed to attend church and such sacred concerts as are deemed suitable, pro- vided they are sufficiently good bluffers as to have a satisfactory report. The health of the girls is carefully watched over. A large sunny room in the coldest corner of the house is used as an infirmary. There the girls find refuge from French tests, English examinations, church, etc., whenever they are not disposed to keep up the routine of school life. The wardrobe of the girls is carefully examined from time to time in order to see that the girls’ garments are strictly in accordance with the latest fashions. Any girls who are behind in this respect will be given private tutoring at the regular rates. Every Saturday morning an hour is devoted to sewing, where girls are allowed to skip so as to gain some experience in skating, diplomacy, tennis playing, etc. Visitors from the city are received on Friday and Saturday after- noons and evenings. Those who are unknown to the maid must bring a letter of introduction from the district policeman. It is earnestly requested that all dentistry, dress making, shopping, etc., shall be done while school is in session, as in this way a diversion is introduced into the girls’ lives which helps to counteract the ten- dency toward overwork manifested by the majority of the students. It is especially desired that the dress of the pupils shall be inexpen- sive and simple. Expensive jewelry should be left at home, as imita- tion diamonds and trinkets of all kinds can be purchased for a small sum. Pupils must be provided with an ample supply of popular songs, hair ribbons, fancy slippers, loud stockings, false hair, puffs and curls if possible, hand embroidered bath robe, and a deck of cards.

18 H Y A K This being Ihe last number of the Ilvak this year, we deem it advis- able to say a few words concerning its publication next year. We, the Juniors, have decided that our class will be too small and the girls will have too heavy schedules to take up the Hyak again and do it full jus- tice. We hope the Class of ’12 will give this subject earnest considera- tion, and decide to carry on the Ilyak work in our stead, as we feel confident that so large and competent a class cannot fail to make it anything but a success. The Hyak has been kept up for so long that it would be a shame to drop it now, especially when there are so many girls who are capable of doing very good work for it. If the Junior class will take it up next year, we promise that we will do all in our power to aid them. ROWINE KELLOGG ' ’ll. S8 8 8 8 Now that the great day is drawing near which terminates our course, we Seniors look back with sad hearts over the happy years which we spent here together, at the thought of leaving the dear old school, and, most of all, our loving classmates, who will scatter far wide, perhaps never all to meet again. We hope tha. we may have some pleasant memories, some kind thoughts, of us in the minds of our teachers, who have done so much for us, and that when we come back from time to time to visit the school and look with pride at the good work of the students and the fine standard the school has attained, we may feel that we have had our little part in it all. All our joys and triumphs, all our plans for the future, have an undertone of sadness. ETHEL LEVIN, ’10. 8 88 8 88 I am quite sure that a great deal has already been said about the fine spirit which the girls have shown in athletics, although, of course, too much cannot be said about it. Yet I think the girls deserve a lot of praise for the spirit shown in other things. From what I have heard, there is a great deal more school spirit this year than there has been before. Good ! Take the walks, for instance! Now, all of us are bound to grumble about it at times, but since the divisions have been made, there has not been any grumbling that mattered, and it has been this something called “spirit” which the girls have used to make walks a pleasure in- stead of a duty. Then the teachers! Haven’t they shown just the best spirit? Take the days when we were preparing for Field Day, weren’t they ready at any moment to drop their own work to help get ready a costume for the parade or suggest what to do in any emergency that arose? Taking it all around, every one has shown a lot of spirit, and I’m
