MCCRORY gditurial It is with trembling and many misgivings that we present this book to the public, and not knowing in what manner it received, we feel we must pave a way for the reader, explain ourselves, so to speak. First, we would have you know this is the first annual for Bucyrus High and the first publication of any descriptic attempted by us. It seems but proper to mention our inexperience as a sort of an apology. To us this first Bucyrian seems to have a two fold significance. One is that it is the only memorial of this nature which h been left to the High School by 21 graduating Class. . The other is that it sets forth a list of the Alumni and the present status High School together with its history, in 21 permanent form. Our school heretofore lacked these things, and we have endeavr the best of our ability to supply them. To make personal mentioh of all those who have assisted us in any way would almost necessitate the printing of another i But we wish especially to thank our Business Manager together with his Assistants, for their eFfm'ts which they put forth to ma book a success financially. The Assistant liditors have worked painstakingly at the tasks set before them, and the Editors of departments have each labored to make their special department the best. The Class 21s a whole have aided us considera spirit manifested toward us, and the High School in general has given us appreciated assistance by advertising: and selling of this work. The Faculty Critics have acted toward us as guardian angels, and their suggestions from former experienc us wonderfully. To the advertisers who have patronized us so liberally we owe our thanks, for their patronage has heel and substantial. And now having doneiwhat we could to make this worthy of Bucyrus High, we submit it to you, hoping it will hearty approval. lCD U!

I believe in information rather than in reformation-in home and school and church rather than in jail and workhouse and penitentiary. I believe that the greatest factor in education is the trained teacher; that i the first consideration in school conditions is care for the childls health and safety. I believe that every dollar expended in making the school environment ideal will come back with added interest to the home and state. I believe that the aim of education is the socialization of the child, and that IIsociety function? are the bane of high school efhciency. Ibelieve that education should trend toward the hand and not away from it; that the next twenty-five years will give great prominence to vocational and industrial training. I believe that every child in America, endowed with fair physical and mental ability, no matter how poor in money, can obtain a high school or even a college education, if only he have the will. I believe in high school athletics when properly controlled and regulat- ed; that a combination of Athenian and Spartan ideals will make for the highest good. I believe in the possibilities of youth, the honesty of purpose of teachers, the hopefulness of parents, the wisdom of laws, and the ultimate destiny of good for all. Ibelieve with Tennyson, IIThat nothing walks with aimless feetIHf That somehow good will be final goal of illf, I believe that the hand of God is Clearly revealed in history, and that the destinies of individuals are as surely guided. I believe that manls chief duty is to raise his SELF to higher levels, and help on the race; that work,of whatever nature that helps to accomplish this W. N. BEETHAM, PH. 3., end, is divine. SUPERINTENDIEN'I' OF SCHOOLS I believe in liberty, but not license; and that obedience to law is free- dom, and not bondage. I believe in the chastisement 0f aHliction, and the rewards of virtue; that this life is a school, that death is Commencement, and that the lVIaster Wlll award the diplomas. W l. . C. H. MILLER, B.

An act passed by the General Assembly of Ohio, on February 21, 1849, for the better regulation of public schools in Cities and towns was taken advantage of by many Cities throughout the state, and it needed but the consent of the citizens of Bucyrus for the Board to take immediate action toward the establishment of a Union building. However, like most innovations, it was met with disfavor by many Citizens and was, shortly after, rejected by the qualified electors. Later the same question gained prominence, and the Board of Education, undaunted by the earlier experience, undertook the task before them. They had solved other educational problems and had seen the tuition system, exemplified in the small Class Which attended the log cabin on the Sandusky river, develop into the grade system with High School advantages, salaried teachers, supervisors and superintendents. NIany able educators rendered eHiCient service but much is due to the late John Hopley whose interests and efforts placed the schools of the city on a firm foundation, and the organization that he then effected has remained substantially the same ever since. However, the demand for better ac- lcommodations could no longer be met by renting more room and the necessity for a complete and adequate building was before the board. HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL The Board of Education at that time was composed of Dr. C. Fulton, president; John Hopley, secretary; John Franz, treasurer; Judge James Clements; Geo. Donnenwirth, sr., and Samuel Hoyt. In 1860 they submitted to a special election a proposition to levy a $40,000 tax to meet the expenses of the undertaking. It was successful and O. Koehler, of Cleveland was 12 employed to make the plans. The contract was let to the Bucyrus Machine Works, at $46,900. Excavations for the basement were made in the fall of 1867 and on July 30, 1868, the cornerstone was laid. any additions the building stands today as the designer planned it. But the people, feeling that they had not authorized the Board to build a $75,000 building, refused to meet the de- mands and the Board was forced to seek a friendly legisla- ture who supplied the deficiency. In 1870, in the administration of J, C. Harper, the hrst class graduated, and each year since a class has been prepared for Commencement day. The building is centrally located, and the remnant of what was once a four-acre oak grove furnishes a fitting back- ground to the imposing structure. Constructed of brick and stone, it fulfills well the plans of its designers. Improved methods of heating and ventilation have rendered the early methods somewhat inadequate; present generations find its twenty-one rooms and halls insufficient; laboratory accom- modations are meagre and dangerous; most of the rooms are poorly lighted; and yet the building, collegeelike in its appearance, stands an honor to the community and a monu- ment to the untiring eHorts 0f the early educators of the city.

VVhite Swim: $12155 iiisturgg It seems but proper and natural that at such a critical turning point in the history of our class we should pause and look backward. But yet, what pen can ever portray the noble deeds and achievements of the illustrious class of 1908? It would be impossible to record all the important events in this Connection, or to tell even a little of the worth of l08. However, we have endeavored in the following discourse to give some slight idea of our class. First we will take you back twelve years, when, in the first primary, our history really begins-when we commenced our hrst struggle for knowledge. Yes, we are forced to admit that even Paul Sears, with his clerical bearing, was once a mem- ber of the chart class and it was here also that Chester Meek learned that iitwo and two make four, and that iiall sugar is sweet.H Slowly and surely we went on our way through the primary and grammar grades, while all the time Vella and Stella proved a puzzle to their teachers and Mae McCrory was learning to giggle. Finally, in the fall of 1904, we found our names on the Freshman roll. Then it was that we began to feel import- ant, and indeed we had a right to feel so, for were we not the hrst Freshmen to be recognized by the dignified Seniors.P And how angry the Senior Girls were when we took the dear little boys away from them! On account of our teacher, Miss NIessner, disapproving of social affairs for students, our class functions were limited, but we did indulge in a hay ride to the Henry farm, chaper- oned by Miss Cockerill. Being allowed to hold class meetings in our Sophomore SENIOR AND JUNIOR ROOM year, we organized and selected our class colors, turquoise and black, with' the violet as class flower. Under the direction of Miss Daniels the girls of the class organized a basket ball team, which dissolved at the beginning of inclement weather. To liven things up, one quiet day in February, onions were put in the desks of various members of the class. But Miss Reid, not enjoying the odor as much as we did, demanded that the onions be thrown in the waste paper basket. Such destruction of natureis products would not have been advised by our Botany teacher, Mr. Garvin, who would have required a complete analysis, as he always did when we made our numerous trips to the woods later in the spring. Through the kindness of Superintendent Bliss we were allowed one day free from care, which we enjoyed at Seccaium Park, Professor Garvin fully proving the truth of the old adage, that, HIt,s good to be a boy againfi iiMy kingdom to be a Junior! thus we thought in our Sophomore year, but at last when that Wish was realized, we found our lessons no easier, the Hight of time no faster; on the whole, our lives changed but little. On November 13 some of our boys, HThe Bloody Sixh as they were styled, gave the Seniors a sample of real LU hazing. They began their ferocious onslaught 0n the Seniors by stealing the taffy which was cooling while Seniors held class meeting and their deeds were culminated when one of the boys was tied to a tree on his way from seeing his lady-love home. Our class meetings were made interesting by the original theatrical productions of our boys, who gained their knowledge from our Literature teacher, Miss Reid. Along with the Christmas holidays came the departure of Miss Reid for Honolulu, which saddened the hearts of the whole High School, but especially those of the Junior Class. Her place was taken by Miss Charlotte Mead who came from Nebraska and remained with us during the Junior year. Who does not know how hard we studied during the Junior year, and how, in order to overcome the resulting brain fag we ate everything from blind robins to dill pickles and chocolate drops? If you doubt the benefits of this unusual diet, just look at the pictures which were taken at this time. The climax of the Junior year was reached on May 16, when we gave our reception to the Class of 1907, at the Johnston home, followed by a banquet at the Hotel Deal. Oh, the hours of toil on Saturday, when the Junior maids attempted to, and succeeded in, selling their delicious pies and cakes and other good things. When asked by a customer, iiWhat is the object of your toilfm we promptly responded, uAll for the Junior- Senior reception? And how tired were our fingers after spending a day in the fields gathering violets for decoration! But we felt as if we were repaid many times that night, for at what reception were the decorations so beautiful? At what banquet were the toasts so witty? And when before had there been such a feeling of good fellowship? With part of the funds left from the Junior-Senior reception, we treated ourselves to a picnic at the Park, which will long be remembered as one of the most enjoyable events of our school life. With most beautiful prospects for the future, we entered the Senior Class, where we were confronted by a new superintendent, three new teachers, and various other changes. 17 It was during this year that the Bucyrian made its first appearance; also, for the First time, the Seniors held rhetoricals every other morning before the High School and Faculty. But what pleased us most was the division of the year into two semesters, and the elimination of examinations for those who had the required average of grades. During January the class elected five boys who composed the Senior Debating Team. The first debate was held at Bucyrus Center school house on February 28th. At the beginning of the second semester the Senior girls organized the Ragus Cooking Club, and held meetings every two weeks, at which time they demonstrated their ability in the making of French dishes, as well as inventing many new hashes. To prove to all their accomplishments in this direction, they gave the Senior boys at Valentine Party at the Dimon home. The boys seemed to enjoy it, and asked when they could come again. To provide funds for the publishing of the llBucyrianf, we were fottunate in securing the services of Professor Patty, who gave us a lecture on liquid air, wireless telegraphy and radium on February 7. It proved to be very instructive to everyone present except Paul Sears, Edwin Seeger and William Gardner, who were otherwise engaged. On the let of March, the Bradwurstzerstoernerverein, not allowing themselves to be outdone by the Senior girls, gave a reception and banquet at the Sears home, which has not been excelled by any social event in our school life. Although there will be many other social affairs and much pleasant study together, we must close this manuscript. And since you have read a part of our history, you may have some slight idea of our achievements. We sincerely hope that next September the lower classmen will miss us, and the Faculty will hegin to look and realize that the brilliant class of l08 has gone forever from its Alma Mater. CLEO J.

One cannot imagine the joy experienced on such an occasion. I returning to the home of my childhood, after twenty years of experiences, pleasant and otherwise, my time being devoted entirely to my business, for I, the President of the Vacual Horse Cleaning Machine Co., was a busy man. The first familiar sight to come to my eyes was an old familiar face, a face of my High School days, the face of Fredlk Blicke. There he sat, the dear old scout, upon one of those high buggies Cyou know like Rockerviltlsl a silk hat cocked upon one side of his head, and surrounded by a bevy of coachmen. Our recognition was mutual, and warm were our greetings after such a lengthy separation. I accepted his kind invitation to spend a few days with him, climbed into the buggy and we started on our journey. There I sat holding tight, fearing constantly we would upset while Blicke was chatting to me like a magpie. At length we arrived at my friends beautiful mansionea home equip- ed with all the luxuries obtainable. A neat little Egure appeared at the steps-I turned and looked at Blicke-he smiled-and looking again I recognized Hilda, the dear little Fluffy RufHes of l08 days. It was then I learned, talthough it was not much of a surprise to meJ that she signed her name uMrs. Frederick Blickefl You all remember what a case they had in their High School days. After they put the children to bed, we strolled out upon the porch and there, seated in the beautiful moonlight, we began recalling dear old High School days, and discussing the fates of our companions. Frederick explained how he amassed his pondrous . fortune. After many years of patient chemical research he had discovered a compound by which the warts could be removed from pickles. Now throughout the world pickles look like paw-paws, but taste like pickles. I had often wondered at this great change but never before accused my friend of such a benefit to humanity. At length our conversation drifted to llDeacon,, Sears, the one time sport of the class. HDeaconl, has somewhat reformed the began his reformation by resigning his job as Sunday School Secretaryl, and he and his wife Lois-you all remember Lois Kellereare, running a Childreifs Home in Galion, and it is rumored they have met with decided success. Alice Moore, the only heir to the fortune of her father, married a prince, and now wears princess dresses constantly. INote: Arthur Nef'tr is still at largeJ The case of Carl Schuster on Rosa Kraus came to to a happy ending-Carl 0n proposing for the u23,l time was accepted and they now live in a little cottage in the east end. A great change has come over Carl for married life has subdued his hasty spirit and those curls, those beautiful curls, have entirely disappeared. Orpha, who has made a great IIhiE, in comic opera, is a soubrette of no mean ability. uDixie Seeger is a cute little barber and as of old though he has been married twice, still persists in winking at the fairies. Peggiel, Johnston is called the HMerry Widow. , , She married a millionairels son from the East and was married but a short time when her husband died. Margaret then moved back to Bucyrus and spends her money royally. 19 0 Walter Beall and Grace Dimon are on the fifteenth season with Five-paw and Cellis Bros. circus. Grace made a decided hit as the lady of maximum avoirdupois while Walter stars as the opposite. Mae McCroryefunny little May-while indulging in a quiet little laugh broke a blood vessel in her tongue and now she speaks Latin fluently with unseemly mercy to those who surround her. gDoc,i Price, poor old Doc, is married and lives in Galion. His favorite ballad is still, iiGood Morning Carryefi Cleo Hart, once Cleo DeLashmutt, is leader of the orchestra at the Wonderland. Arthur Neff is a Veterinary Physician and has a fine intelligent lot of patients tpatiencel His office is on the 16th Hoot 0f the Schearer building. Oh, yes! NIae Schearer is a sharp hnancier and has been often been called Cassie Chadwick No. 2. She owns a 20-st0ry building upon the square, besides considerable other property. Bill Gardner is still the man of ham sandwich fame. His stomach has always been delicate, but it is now worse than ever-he calft even eat 25 sandwiches without noticing the same. He is running a restaurant in the basement of the Baptist Church. The lots of Vella and Stella Quaintance are the most mournful of all, however; there in Oceola-a subu1b of Bucyrus-live the two old maids sorrowful and alone, forsaken by friends and fortuneelingering monuments of the S-L-A-M bunch. Chester NIeCk may be found at Nevada, where his skilled services have been employed for the last ten years, as General Manager- of the Nevada Garbage Disposal Plant. Soon after Commencement Marie Kimerline left for New York, where she secured employment as a stenographer. One day, while Hitting with a fellow thirteen stories below, she lost her balance and fell overboard. When at last she awoke she found the fel- low had departed, and lVIarie now lives the life of an old maid. Ella Mollenkopf and Winnie Mahlie many years ago eloped into Kentucky, where they were married. They returned to Bucyrus, where before long Winnie became an habitual drunkard; but by the kind inHuence of his wife he was induced to take the Keeley cure, by mail, so that he has since entirely reformed. iiSmiIeyii Schieber has developed into a great genius. His great invention was a cigarette vending machine, which upon the insertion of a coin produces the goods, meanwhile playing, uNearer My God to TheeW JVIae Hammond is a trained nurse in the Red Cross service. Her presence alone seems a valuable disperser 0f aches and pains. iiGricii Henry does nothing but loaf and spend his inheritance. He may still be found with a fountain pen and silk handkerchief, proof positive that his supply is not yet exhausted. Marie Streib has won considerable fame with the brush, her latest painting, iiUnder the Skidoo Treef has won favorable comment from the best of critics. Elsie Gebhardt, that cute little girl who was accustomed to have Latin fits over in Miss Bracheris room at about 10:15 dclock about five days in the week CiBreathes there a man with sight so dead, who could not tell her hair was redei-well, what do you 20 think, Elsie is teaching Latin in the Bucyrus High School, and from what her pupils say, she assigns lessons almost as long as Miss Bracher used to do. hWiggle Jolly died after a short protracted illness. For years he grieved over a sorrow never revealed. His physician claims death was caused by supersaturation 0f the haemoglobical corpuscles -plasmodic pressure -caused generally by disappointment in love. Stella Barth has won renown and fame as a musician. She is now studying abroad, but will return home before long, where she has accepted a flattering position at the Orphium. Edna Vollrath is at the head of the Suffragettes of America; she still persists in thux Femina Factif, but perhaps has forgotten that hvarium et mutabile semper hfeminat h Blicke darted into the house and soon returned with a neatly bound volume, which he handed to me. I glanced at it, and in the moonlight I could distinguish in big gold letters hEvqutionf, by S. Ernest Neff. Fred,k explained that Ernestk greatest theory tperhapsa was that girls in their original state were birds; but he volunteered that if such were the case aremarkable change had taken place. . Then we awoke from our dream, the dreams Which carried us back to our High School days, a dream which had carried us back to the happiest days of our life; tears were in our eyes for we knew these happy days had passed -passed forever.

Orchestra HISTORY iTFrom history,N as Sir Walter Raleigh says, tlwe gather a policy no less wise than eternal, by the comparison and application of other menls fore-passed miseries with our own like errors and ill deservinngT History is the root of all science, and is the product of careful study and observation of malfs existence as far back as the era in which Adam lived until the present day, written in chronological order. The earliest history that we get, is taken from the monuments of Egypt and Assyria which were found buried many feet in the earth, and which give us slight hints of what our prehistoric ancestors did, in regard to war, custom and art. The next history that we get is from the Old Testament of the Bible, but the real artistic form of history we get from the Greeks. The Greeks were the first historians and remained unsurpassed. The world never deviated from the lines laid down by them until this century. History is divided into three divisions, Ancient, Medieval and Modern. Ancient history is history taken as far back as can be traced to the fall of Rome in 476 A. D. Medieval history extends from 4-76 to the discovery of America in 1492 and Modern history extends from that time until the present day. The Field of history is so far restricted to its subject that only the doings of a community possessing organic life can possess it, and must be treated in regard to its social, moral, religious and governmental conditions. The history of a country depends a great deal on its geographical position. Countries having the healthiest Cli- mate to live in furnish the greatest history to the world. It produces the healthiest people, therefore the brightest and most far-thinking. The coldest and nnhealthiest countries have no important history connected with them. History may deal with the past development of human affairs, as a whole, or with some special phase of human activity as Political, Ecclesiastical, Geological 0r Natural history, but whatever way it deals with the activity of a country it deals with the development of that subject traced as far back as can be. History is something that is constantly changing, and the more a country develops the greater will be its history. In regard to modern history, we are nearly overwhelmed with the mass of new materials and discoveries which have been launched upon us. Take for instance the influence the modern inventions have 011 history. The wonderful locomotives, firearms and means of spreading news over the world has changed the mode of fighting in battle so greatly that the side hoping to win, must show the greatest skill in inventing. This age can not boast of such laurels as our ancestors won in the fields of antiquity and the middle ages. Modern ages have won their victories by weight of metals more than by skill of commanders; not saying that the commanders of Our day have not skill, but that they have no occasion to display it. Nevertheless the human interest attached to the history of matfs development will always exist, and will continue to instruct and Console mankind to the remotest generation. 22 PRIMITIVE MAN llHas man always been man, or has he gradually developed from some less highly organized animaIPli is the question upon which so many philosophers have wasted their lives to advance theories. Perhaps the most noted of these is that of uNatural Selectionll by Charles Darwin. That is, all animals are the results of slow changes of nature from not more than live progenitors and that all plants and trees of an equal or less number. That by the gradual and slow changes of nature one animal has been born with a slight advantage over another in its means of securing food, in the development of certain muscles; and by far the more important in the advantage, it is better enabled to es Tips its enemies, while those less favorably equipped are an easy prey. Thus we have HNatural Selection by means of WThe Survival of the Fittestfl It is by this very slight change continuing through thousand of years inherited and advanced in each offspring that man has come into existence, that he at one time was without erect stature, but crawled upon his hands and feet, that he had the general appearance of a monkey, that he was endowed with the instinct of seeming danger and that he had no mode of conversation but merely a bark or grunt. This, by Darwirfs Theory was the early condition of man, and from these forms he has gradually risen to his present state. Now let us look at a theory which is just the opposite, that of the Duke of Argyll 0n KlPriineval Man. That is, that man was a separate creation, that he 'as alvays man and nothing else. This theory is carried to Genesis in the Scripture which treats of the creation of man independent of all other creations. But how the variations of complexion, language and intellect, which lead those of the same color to congregate and form nations so distant from each other? Why were there so many different languages if all were descended from the same parent? These questions and others like them are the points which lead to different theories. But one thing these nations have left behind by which we tan determine with some accuracy as to their antiquity, and that is their relics, carvings, and temples. In Egypt was found a temple which bore a picture representing negroes in bondage and by the hieroglyphic translation of this picture the time was found to be nineteen hundred years before Christ, showing that man must have existed long before this period in order to become well enough educated to print, paint and carve. If these carvings and paintings were completed three thousand eight hundred and eight years ago, when then was the beginning of a change of man lowering into some animal as is Darwiifs theory? But each can have his theory until a proof is given which leaves no doubt or room for a supposition. Each can have his belief and each is right. 23 WALTER R. BEALL Alpha Zeta Bradwurster Mgr. Class Base Ball DOES POETRY BELONG TO THE LESS HIGHLY FRED,K F. BLICKE Philomathean Bradwurster H. S. Orchestra Asslt. Editor, llBucyrianll DEVELOPED NATIONS? Is it true that poetry is the production of nations when in a state of unprogressiveness or non-development and that it flourishes best when the country is in this Condition? Or on the other hand is poetry merely the mark of manis intellectual or material progress? . , Let us assume that poetry belongs to the state of development and progressiveness. If such is the case, then today we must look to the worldis prosperous and intellectual nations for our poetry. We all know, however, that in the last Efty years no really good poetry has been produced by any nation. And indeed any reader of poetry would scarcely think of elassing poetry in the same age with steam engines, automobiles, wireless telegraphy and flying machines. Let us leave out of consideration the advanced age of civilization of the present and look over the past years when America was an undeveloped stretch of land on this side of the Atlantic, and note the sentimental age in which our grandfather's lived. Among their associates were such men as Lincoln, VVebster and Clay, whose powerful oratory gave them world-wide fame. An objection may be made that oratory is not poetry. It is not accordingr .to the literal understanding of poetry but the oratory of these men is found to be full of poetic expression and sentiment which shows that both the poet and the orator are inspired by the same surroundings. Whittier and Longfellow produced their greatest works in the early part of the nineteenth century when America was still classed as an inferior nation. Going still farther back to the time when America was mostly back woods, we find such men as Patrick Henry, John Adams and others, whose powerful and forceful elocution is too well known to commen:C upon. Let uS look at the condition of literature In Europe when that continent was in an unprogressive state of develop- ment. VVe Find in the early condition of England examples which show that its greatest poetry was composed when that nation was in an undeveloped state. We notice that almost the first utterance of the rough, rude, uncultured Teutons who inhabited England at an early date is poetry. Homeris Iliad, one of the immortal productions of Grecian literature, was written in the midst of unsettled warfare and when the countries of Greece were in a constant turmoil. Burns, Scotlandls greatest poet, lived and wrote when that country was in a state of degeneracy. In conclusion to the above facts Shakespeare, whose works stand today pre-eminent in the literary world, lived in a period called the Golden Age of English Literaturef, This period occupied the sixteenth century, when England was but poorly developed and when it was a rare thing for a common person to be able to read or write. Milton also wrote in one of the dark ages of English history. It has been shown that all of the worldls greatest poets wrote in times which are not noted for their brilliant his- tory, but rather in times when the country in which they lived was either at a standstill or in a state of degeneracy, and as this progressive world of today has failed to produce any great poetry we therefore conclude that poetry is the production of nations when in a state of less highly development. 24 WHAT CAN WOMAN DO? Each one leaves a record of his deeds in the final history of his race. Could this one thought be impressed upon the mind of every woman, there would follow such a great revolution as would cause this world to stand in amazement when seeing the results that would follow. Next to God, we are indebted to woman for the making of this world. Woman it is that can make this world an Eden if she will, but her intlucnce can also be used for evil. We will now speak of the woman who exerts her influence for good and who seizes every opportunity for making the future better and shedding peace around her. Some one has said gIn all history the strength of any nation is measured by the condition of the women of that nation, and will he throughout all succeeding ages. She may learn any trade for which she has the ability to master. Before the Civil War the majority of occupations were thought not appropriate for women. But when the war talled forth hosts of men from the north and south, the business of the time demanded tens of thousands of women to fill vacant positions. From that time a mighty Change took place favorable for female employment. Among the occupations for women are, music teaching, school teaching, florists, bookkeeping and banking, a work Clean and honorable, suitable for any woman. Among great women who have done much for their country is Dorothy Dix, liThe Angel of the Insane Asylumsf, Through her power of voice and intellect, the people saw that it was their duty to provide asylums for the are of the insane. Above all other positions is one in which she can accomplish most good for God and humanity. She can reign queen of the home. The husband goes out in the world to toil with his hands and brain to provide for the home, and the wife is to weave the results into the richest blessings. Talmadge said, llWoman sits on a throne so high, that if all the thrones 0f the world were placed on top of one another, they would not make for her a foot stoolfl Our great grandfathers thought they were by their votes putting Washington into the presidential Chair. But no, his mother, by the principals she taught him and by the habits she impressed made him president. It is the mothers duty to keep the home pure and happy. Ever since the world began, as long as the homes were kept pure in the nation, the people in the nation were strong in action and noble in thought. How true the old saying is, lVFhe hand that rocks the cradle rules the worldfl The early impressions are the best, and it is during this character forming period that woman can use her influence. Now I ask, does woman in reality rule, and, is it not her duty to act her part well? Look how woman has used her inHuenee against intemperanee, the great foe which destroys happiness, breaks the hearts of wives and mothers and brings poverty to the home. In order however to accomplish anything along this line she must become the highest type of womanhood, a pure Christian woman. The task of the Christian woman is laid before her, but her reward will be received through all eternity. ORPHA O. COE Alpha Zeta Ragus Girls CLEO J.

Music has been a sort of Cinderella of the Arts, sometimes observed, incidentally admired, but generally treated as of no serious importance in the presence of her favored sisters, Paintingr and Poetry. No one, 'who has not at least learned the difference between a pen sketch and a water color painting, presumes to pronounce an opinion on the merit of a picture; so it is with a musical composition-no one should judge a selection unless he has learned the difference between a Massanet production which refreshes the intellect by its appeal to your feet and one of Beethovenk masterpieces Music is rationalized emotion and must be heard to be appreciated, the same as a picture must he Hrst seen to be appreciated.

It soothes the sad, encourages the helpless, enlightens the whole world, and causes things to appear in a more beautiful aspects Let us turn to the church on Sunday morning; there are prayers, a sermon and the InusiC-the choir begins to sing. Does not this arouse in you the purest and loftiest of emotions? VVhat emotions are aroused by that martial funeral dirge? An almost suHocating feeling of sadness and sympathy, associating with the mysteries of the Great Beyond. This really is one value of music. In a literal sense it brings all Heaven before our eye, and recalls and discloses eternal truths and relations. . Is not the slow, beautiful wedding march of Lohengrin a sort of sad farewell to the maiden, which however, soon breaks forth into a happy futureeof wedded bliss. Then there is 'the stirring music of the brass band, and of the street piano. All of these play upon our different emotions, but music influences everyone in a way that nothing else can do. However, most people have vague and unsettled ideas as to the expressive power of Music, and in looking for something which does not exist, they fail to hnd that which does. This vagueness arises from three causes; first, ignorance of the true nature of musical expressiveness; second, ignorance of musical history; third, foolish Criticism. Music is an art which expresses moods, and it expresses them with detiniteness, eloquence and inHuence. Many who are ignorant of music try to discern in it the cause of moods, and that is just what music cannot tell us. Bulwer says, llMusic once admitted to the soul becomes a sort of spirit and never dies. It wanders through the halls and galleries of the memory and is often heard again, distinct and living, as when it first displaced the wavelets of the airfT And in the words of Shakespeare, llThe man that hath not music in himself, and is not moved by concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, strategems and spoils. Let no man trust himf, 26 VQUEEN VICTORIA No other sovereign of England was better known or held in higher esteem than Queen Victoria. She was the only daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Kent. From the time of her birth nothing but honor, loyalty and devo- tion were paid to her. Although there were possibilities of her not becoming queen, people always spoke of her as their future sovereign. i When she was about a year old her father died and her mother, although a foreigner and unaccustmned to the ways of English living, remained in England, in order that she might be able to bring up her child according to the laws and customs of the English people, whom some day she might govern. Victoria's study began when she was about four years old. At first she cared nothing for her books but later she took great interest in them. ' When Victoria was eleven years old she was told she would be queen. At this time the king was very sick and at his death the Duke of Clarence would ascend the throne, and Victoria would succeed him. Victoria kept her thoughts to herself and even her mother did not know how much she was dreading a life on the throne. When William IV ascended the throne a bill was passed which provided that she should come to the throne before she was of age but that her mother should rule with her. Victorials time was now all devoted to study and travel for the Duchess believed the best way the future queen was to know her country was to see it. The next year the princess and her mother spent much of their time in their yacht and the king was annoyed, for wherever they went they were greeted, not only with speeches, but with the firing of guns and he insisted that it was not legal and should he stopped as that honor was due to him alone. Victoria was a little over eighteen when she came to the throne and at this time a bill was passed which gave the House of Commons more power than it had ever had, so that the queen had much indirect influence but little direct power. When Victoria was twenty-one she married her cousin, Prince Albert. Victoria brought about a number of reforms, among them the most important ones being, the Postal Reform, the Repeal of Com Laws, Free Trade and the Repeal of Window and Newspaper Tax. Prince Albert died in 1861. In him the nation lost an earnest promoter of educational anal industrial reforms. In 1897, the Queen celebrated her Diamond jubilee and by this act the common people were led to know their ruler better than any other sovereign. Queen Victoria died in 1901, her death being partly due to the grief and anxiety caused by the Boer War. 27 GRACE D. DIMON Philomathean Ragus Girls WILLIAM A. GARDNER Philomathean Foot Ball, ,06 and lo7 Basket Ball Bradwurster Member Sr. Debating Team Athletic Edi, iiBucyrianli PATRIOTISM tDelivered on Washington's Birthdayl In commemorating the anniversary of the birth of so noble a man, naturally our thoughts revert to one of his greatest Characteristics, his devotion to his country his patriotism. He seems to have embodied in his actions, thoughts and life, the sentiments of Martyn, who said, iiMy country claims me all, claims every passion; her liberty henceforth be all my thought; for her my life Iid willingly resignili A manis Country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers and woods, but it is a principle, and patriotism is loyalty to that principle. It is the love that moves a man to serve his country by protecting its rights, by defending it from invasion and by maintaining its laws and institutions. Patriotism is like the family instinct; in the child it is a blind devotion, in the man an intelligent love. It is a love that is absolutely unselfish, for it was not his olive orchards and almond groves that made the Greece of the Greek; 1101' was it for his apple orchards and potato fields that the farmer of New England left his plow standing in the furrows and marched away to Bunker Hill and Saratoga, but for the love and devotion he bore to his country. True patriotism is not that excitement which is caused by public danger, and which a few months of active cam- paigning will entirely destroy, but it is something which is so deeply rooted in character that it will endure until death. It is patriotism that makes the true statesman to whom a country owes its welfare, for it is seen throughout History that a country has but little infiuence upon other nations when an unselfish patriotism is looked upon but as the enthusiasm of youth Which will gradually pass away with the coming of maturer years. The man who is born in this country is born to a patriotic regard for it. His mission, without doubt, is to increase the love of liberty and to maintain his country in the position in which it now stands, as a protest against absolutism; opposing freedom to feudalism and slavery. These men are truly patriots, who in times of danger march off amidst the rattle of the drum and the martial music of the fife, with the determination to die, if necessary, to protect their Country. These are not the only patriots, how- ever, for even now, many are showing their love of country by protecting its laws and institutions, whose devotion is complete, and who in Civil life show as great bravery as do those who face the cannons mouth. A large percentage of our dangers are domestic, not international. American citizens would do more good7 and live more in accordance with the principles of true patriotism if they would constantly keep before their eyes a clause contained in Washingtonk Farewell Address, iiTo provide institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge, developing an enlightened public opinion; to perform the duties of American citizensf, Or perhaps even better than this, the words of Webster, ilLet our object be our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. And by the blessing of God, may that country become a vast and splendid monument, not . of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of peace and of liberty, upon which the world may gaze with admiration, foreverf, 4AN UNHERALDED HERO Solomon, the wise, once wrote, ill saw under the sun, that the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill.H Ages have passed since these words were written, but each has borne men, wise, brave and noble, to whom there was neither riches nor favor, and to some not even bread. Not only in Grayis little country churchyard are the unknown Hampdens and inglor- ions Miltons to be found, but in every nation great men have lived and accomplished their works without honor. Indeed, since the true test of a great man is his having been in advance of his age, true glory often never comes to him until many years after his death. Thus today we are placing: lanrels on many a worthy work neglected at the time of its accomplishment. So con- scientiously do we honor these ancient heroes that we never think we too may be committing that hasest of all crimes, ingratitude. But listen! About twenty years ago there returned to America one of her citizens. After studying and toilingr many years in foreign lands, critics had pronounced him the most important tone-poet ever produced, the greatest American musical genius. He was classed with the great masters of Europe. In his works, he was always the essential poet, the clairvoyant impressionist, dealing with life in its large and profound as well as its intimate aspects, limning tenderly yet with a controllingr and serene philosophy, snehphases of the visible and human worlds as touch and quicken his imagination. He awakened in music that sense of the invisible, the hidden wonder and enchantment behind the manifest presence of the world which it is the signal privilege of the Celtic imagination to discover and enforce. He evoked the incalenlable spell, opened a door into a new and shining world. But he learned, as many other masters before him, that appreciation comes but slowly to the great. The revenue brought by the sale of his music was not suHicient for his livelihood and for many years he was compelled to waste his energy on work which others could have done almost as well. Even while faithfully performing his duty in one capacity, he still found time to write his wonderful melodies. Recently this double labor bore its fruit in the most tragic event in the history of American art, music or letters - the mental breakdown of our greatest master. Then it was that popular feeling, so long indifferent, began to realize a hero was passing away, a man who had done more to raise the standard of our civilization in the eyes of other nations than had the combined victories of armies and navies. When death came as a release a few months ago, our nation felt what Johnson has called the bitterest of all sorrows, the death of one we have injured without reparation. Such was the life of another man of skill to whom there was no favor, another man of understanding to whom there was no riches, our unheralded ltero, Edward Alexander MacDowell. ELSlE R. GEBHARDT Philomathean Asslt. Ed., ltBucyrian Ragus Girls THE IMPORTANCE OF LITTLE THINGS MAE A. HAMMOND Alpha Zeta. Ragus Girls How much of our lives and character is dependent upon little things. Those little joys and sorrows, those little duties which must be performed, those triflingr details which must be attended to, all make up the sum of human exist- ence. Or as the poet says, ilOur lives are measured by the deeds we do, the thoughts we think, the objects we pursuefi Our characters are built upon little words of kindness spoken and little deeds of kindness done at the opportune moment. A word is a little thing, but one thoughtlessly spoken inflicts a wound which can cut deeper than a keen sword. A kind word spoken to a person weary and discouraged, will cheer and gladden him, and a smile will bring sunshine into his darkened soul. A minute seems too trivial to mention, but sixty of them make an hour and in that time many golden opportuni- ties may present themselves which if grasped will lead to great and grand results. It is the odd moments we have we ought to utilize. By carefully making use of his odd moments, Macauly wrote his history of England in the successive intervals of waiting for his breakfast. . Accumulation of knowledge and experience are the results of bits of knowledge and experience Carefully stored up. No one has ever leaped to knowledge. The wisest man that ever lived had to learn to read, write and figure, then he gradually attained the greater things in store for him. Look at nature and you will see how much is really made up of little things. This old earth of ours is made up of tiny grains of sand, the ocean of little drops of water. The flowers all grew from seeds very small and weak and the mighty oak sprang from a tiny acorn. It is the little things that have shaken mighty nations and inEuenced humanity. Only an apple led to the fall of man with all its woes and misfortunes. Sir Isaac Newton established his laws of gravity because he was set thinking by the fall of an apple. A fair face and Winsome smile led to the ten years seige of Troy and inspired Homer to write his great epic. Discoveries and inventions have been the result of observation of little things. The foundations for astronomy were laid twenty centuries ago, when what is known as conic selections were discovered. The germ 0f the telegraph lay in the fact that Galvani discovered that a frogis leg twitched when placed in contact with different metals. Franklin robbed the thunder cloud of its lightning, by means of a kite made of two crossed sticks and a silk handkerchief, discovered it to be identical to the electricity which today lights whole cities. Since then, it is the little things that make up life, so it is the multitudes of unknown men and women that contrib- ute the most to national prosperity and success. Although our names may never flourish in history, no one is so obscure that he does not in his or her own way exert some little influence which will unconsciously pass into the lives of others and there propagate good examples for time to come. 30 SCIENTIFIC FARMING The dawn of history shows man using the various fibres for the manufacture of cloth and the rutlest and clumsiest tools to carry on his struggle for procuring a livelihood by tilling the soil. But as time progressed, being of an energetic nature, mzm began to seek better machinery. llNecessity is the mother of inventionYl By means of better machinery the farmer is able to give those dependent upon him better support and more of the good things of life. Scientific farming in its broadest sense includes all the methods used for the improvement of crops, soils, fertilizers and implements, besides a more thorough knowledge of insect destruction and farm management. The first element to be considered is the crops. How great is our dependence upon them, and how very few of us stop to think;while partaking of our favorite cereal, that it is the result of the labors of many hardworking farmers, who by means of perseverance and steady application have brought the Cereal crops to as high a standard as they now occupy. Merely planting the crop does not produce a bountiful harvest and a full granary, but one must guard against the work of destructive insects, such as the Hessian fly, moth and weztvil, any of which may soon destroy the most promising crop. The most important consideration, however, is the Chemistry of the soil, which includes the preparation of the ground and the Constituents necessary to give the soil strength and productiveness, so indispensable to the maturing of any crop. Some soils may need 21 certain kind of alkali, while others may need potash or lime; which need can only be ascertained by one who has had a thorough training, in a well equipped laboratory, under the direction of an expert chemist. When the needs of a soil are learned, the problem of protecting- the crop arises. The most effective mode of protection is the seeding down of the field, or in the case of a crop like corn, keeping the ground well stirred, but not deeper than necessary to kill the weeds and grass. The loose covering of earth thus produced serves 215 :1 sort of blanket to protect the tiny roots of the plants, and to conserve the moisture of the soil. Some may look with scorn on the study of agriculture, but if such people would compare the countries in which little or no interest is taken in agriculture with our own United States, they would readin see that it is due to the skillfuly progressive methods of farming that our land has such an honored place among nations. 31 J. HARRISON HENRY Philomathean Foot Ball lo7 Bradwurster CIVILIZATION OF ANCIENT EGYPT MARGARET H. JOHNSTON Philomathean Ragus Girls Class Secretary Before we take up the civilization of that ancient people whose home was in northern Africa, let us look at the various agents which enabled them to attain that high degree in life. The greatest of these was the Nile, that great river whose annual overflow supplied richness and moisture in suHicient quantities to supply the needs of the land. The laml was very productive, it being possible to reap three or four harvests annually. On either side of the Nile are mountains from which quantities of stone were quarried. N 0thing certain is known about the earliest inhabitants of Africa but it is thought that during the stone age it was peopled by a black race who were later conquered by the Hamites, from southwestern Arabia. Egypt is the first place where we find government and political institutions. . Their government was a hereditary monarchy with a king or Pharaoh at the head. This king was far from being absolute in power. Nearly all his habits in religious and private life were governed by the religious ritual set forth by, the priests. ' A council from this class also directed his decisions in matters of state and he governed only as they dictated. The Egyptian code of laws give evidence of great reasoning power and a love of order. It is claimed that Egypt is the source of all good government. A judge who committed an innocent man to death, incurred as much guilt by law as if he had committed murder himself. Their religion was very complex and curious. They had a multitude of deities. The chief one was Osiris, the Sun God, and from him radiated all others. One of the worst phases of their religion was the animal worship, which gave the dumb beasts the attributes of a God. All crocodiles, cats and wolves were worshiped but at the head of all stood Apes, the bull. In contrast to this debased animal worship they had some higher spiritual conception. Often in reading old manu- scripts a sentence like this is found: llBefore all things which actually exist and before all beginnings, there is one Godfl which shows that they had some understanding of the true religion. The religious spirit of the Egyptians was strongly shown in their architecture, which consisted mostly of tombs and temples. Some of these rocky sepulchers were cut in the sides of hills, others were composed of stone and built in the form of pyramids. The most important of these are near Gizeh. The largest of the group covers thirteen acres and it is claimed that some of the blocks of stone of which it was built weigh sixteen thousand tons. In these mountains of stone lay the remains of kings. Their temples were massive and grand in appearance. Huge columns and high arches were always in evidence. Their architecture was generally known by simplicity in general design, and completeness in decoration. The Egyptians First discovered the principles of astronomy and geometry and in the practice of medicine they were unequaled. Thus we see in the ancient Egyptians the highest form of government and the highest degree of culture. 32 CAPITAL AND LABOR Capital and Labor, one of the foremost topics before the American people today, is very puzzling in its meaning. From the very beginning of the larger of American manufacturing plants to the present date, we read and hear of con- troversies between owner and working-men. Capital is wealth used for the promotion of industries and is represented by the owners of the factories, while Labor is the useful effort of the common people or working class. One of the most disastrous events which can happen to a community is a strike, caused by disputes between labor leaders in sympathy with the working class, and employers. One of the most destructive strikes in the United States was the railroadstrikeat Pittshurg in 1877, when the railroads were tied up, and millions of dollarsl worth of property. destroyed. ' If the working class could be brought closer to the operators, many strikes could and would be averted, many lives he saved and the country and the people helped financially. If the working man were allowed to make suggestions or knew what his piece of work, tthe one on which he was cautioned to he so particularl was going to be used for, he would take a greater interest in his work and by so doing help himself and promote his employerls interests. 4 In the earlier days of England when large amounts of gravel were sent from Ireland for road building purposes to London, a poor Irish laborer told his boss that if the corners were off his shovel, he could dig the gravel faster. The poor Irishman was discharged for dictating to his foreman, but four months later was granted a patent on his shovel. Perhaps the Chief cause of strikes is the employment of foreign laborers who work for less money than American laborers, thus reducing the wage scale. Foreigners are brought to this country by contractors and placed on the same level with the laboring Class of the United States. On the other hand, what would the working man do if it were not for Capital? W110 would establish the large factories and industries? It is true certain employers expect too much from their men. Still they object to paying :1 good price or establishing a reasonable wage scale. Another detrimental habit of our industries is the employment of child lztbor. This not only keeps the children out of school, robbing them of their education, but also steals from our country its good citizens; for a man without some education and common sense is not a good citizen, and not fit to vote on laws that are necessary for a strong and free government.

KELLER Alpha Zeta Ragus Girls Someone has said that a man is indeed famous and admired by all when he is known by some epithet familiar to all classes of people. As we stop and think of this we find it is true, and is especially exemplified in the life of William Ewart Gladstone, lVFhe Grand Old Manfl N0 better name could be applied to him. England has had numerous famous statesmen and party leaders, but thereisnone who has been so esteemed in America as Mr. Gladstone. His public life began when he entered Parliament soon after he completed his college course. Parliament was engaged in reforming many of the English laws; in all these reforms Mr. Gladstone took an active part and became the acknowledged leader of the Liberal Party He was especially interested in the welfare of Ireland. The idea that there is something in politics which contaminates the personal integrity of the man engaged in it, is common; yet in contrast to this it is interesting to contemplate the life of Mr. Gladstone. From his earliest youth Mr. Gladstone lived in the atmosphere of politics, and as soon as he reached manhood, he was engaged in the thickest tnlnults of party struggles. Yet in spite of this his purity of motive and elevation of character were never even ques- tioned. He could not be tempted to sacrifice conviction to expediency and his strong faith in principles steadily preserved him from the easy compliances and compromises of ordinary political usage. His eonscientiousness was so supreme that it sometimes seemed to imperil that clearness of view and promptitude of action which are indispensable qualifications ofa statesman. Other men have made speeches which rank higher than any one of Mr. Gladstonels, but no one has ever made so many fine speeches as he; so that many people regard him as the greatest parliamentary author of modern times. Mr. Gladstone could make most wonderful extempore speeches, as excellent as though he had spent weeks in prep- aration. He possessed that most important qualification for an orator---a pure, clear, resonant voice---in perfection. One who had often heard him said, llAs for his voice, it is like a silver clarion. It would make the most common- place thoughts seem interesting, and dullness itself fascinating,7 Mr. Gladstone is not so well known as an author but he has written numerous excellent essays, mainly on political subjects, for magazines. Personally, Mr. Gladstone was always well liked. Even his political opponents felt that one idea always inspired him, a conscientious anxiety to do the right thing. He was offered a title, but refused it, preferring to belong to the common people. Certainly no title could have made a nohler man of hinL He is one of the few persons not of the nobility who have been buried in VVestminster Abbey. His entire life was useful, and he so fulfilled his mission in this world that he will long be remembered for his good works and noble deeds. 34 THE RED CROSS SOCIETY In the beautiful city of Geneva, Switzerland, in 1864, certain governments signed a treaty which hound them in time of war to give the priveleges 0f neutrality t0 wounded soldiers and sailors, and all those caring for them. The Red Cross Society, a general name for these organizations, was so named because their distinctive badge is a red cross on a white ground. The spirit of such an organization finds a much needed and appreciated expression in the exchange of Red Cross help and co-operation between the societies of various nations. Now about all civilized countries agree to send personal help and furnish supplies to the sick and wounded of opposing armies and nzlvies. The Red Cross of Japan is admitted to he the finest organization of its kind in the world. Since 1877 it has been contin- ually growing until now it numbers nearly a million members. In the late Russo-Japanese War, the Red Cross Society of Japan, nobly assisted by our American Society, by their thorough discipline and by their splendid work in many hospitals as well as on numerous battle-lields did very much towards deciding the issue of the great war in favor of Japan. Can we possibly think of anything that has done more to relieve the sorrow, the suffering, and the sadness 011 all the battle-tields 0f the world than the organization of the Red Cross Society? The introduction and development of the Red Cross Society in the United States was due chiefly to the Chris- tian efforts of Miss Clara Barton, the founder of the American branch. Previous to the organization of this branch, there were many members of the Red Cross Society in the United States, with Miss Barton as chief representative. On the second of January, 1898, Miss Barton called on the nation for assistance in her noble plans, and through her efforts numerous relief societies were formed. Red Cross hospitals were established; national leaders visited President McKinley and through their help Miss Barton and her staff made a visit to Cuba to investigate the situation thoroughly. Their report surprised the United States as well as other civilized nations, and people awakened then to a full realization of the needless suffering, anguish, and death rate prevailing on this llgem island of the seafl At once the Red Cross Society established headquarters and hospitals in Cuba; sent skilled doctors, nurses, and helpers to the stricken and neglected island, and soon the good results of the heroic work were seen and felt on all sides. VVe give due honor and credit to our soldiers for their heroic defense of the flag, by dedicating to them momr ments to cherish and tierpetuate their names for all time. And we do well to honor our scientists for inventions that make our lives safer and better on all sides, because of their wonderful discoveries that bring nations closer to nations, and closer to God. But ifs a question whether or not we are giving due honor and credit and encouragement to the Red Cross Society for its self-sacrif'icing services in the plague districts, in the dark quarters of the earth, and 011 the hattle-Eelds of the world. Let us not be found wanting in our financial, patriotic, or moral support of the greatest and most humane movement of our age. 35 MARIE L. KlMERLlNE Alpha Zeta Ragus Girls ROSA l. KRAUS Philomathean Ragus Girls CHARITY I fear too many of us do not realize how much is contained in this one word, iicharityfl Charity in a general sense means love, benevolence and good will; or that disposition of heart which inclines one to think favorably of his fellow-men, and do them good. In a theological sense, it includes supreme love to God, and universal good will to men; while in a more particular sense, Charity means kindness, aHection and tenderness, springing from natural relations. Charity can be likened to true goodness, in this---it shines most when no eyes except those of Heaven are upon it. Charity works along many lines. We exercise charity in overlooking the faults of our fellow-men, and in being lenient in our criticisms. Many wealthy men have shown charity by giving so liberally for the endowment of libraries and colleges; but Charity is shown in a truer sense by missionaries who have gone to foreign fields, giving up home, friends, and in many cases their lives, to bring happiness to those in heathen darkness. It is an Old saying that Charity begins at home, but this is no reason that it should not go abroad. Charity is one of the essential characteristics in the life of a good man. If we have all the other elements that go to make for a righteous life, and do not have charity, our life is wanting some of its usefulness. Charity is never lost---it may meet with ingratitude or be of no service to those on whom it is bestowed, yet it ever bestows a work of beauty and grace upon the heart of the giver. Charity is a virtue of the heart, not of the hands. ,i He is truly great that is great in charity. iiCharity gives itself rich; covetousness hoards itself poor.,, . The soul of a benevolent man does not seem to reside much in its own body. Its life, to a great extent, is a mere reflex of the life of others. It migrates into their bodies, and, identifying its existence with their existence, finds its own happiness in increasing and prolonging their pleasures, in extinguishing or solacing their pains. Every good act is charity. An exhortation of your fellow-men to virtuous deeds is equal to almsagiving. Your putting a wanderer on the right road; your assisting the blind; your removing stones and other obstructions from the road and your giving water to the thirsty is charity. The desire of power in the excess caused angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused Man to fall: but in charity there is 110 excess, neither can angel nor man come in danger by it. iiBe charitable and indulgent to everyone but thyselin He who has never denied himself for the sake of giving has but glanced at the joys of charity. When faith and hope fail, as they do sometimes, then must we try charity, which is love in action. We must speculate no more oniour duty, but simply do it. When we have done it, however blindly, perhaps Heaven will show us why. TO THE STARS THROUGH THORNS The expression uTo the Stars Through Thorns is simply a poetic way of saying iiExcellence Through Difficulties. First of all, we want to know what excellence and Difficulty are. Webster tells us MExcellence is that state of being which has goodness and greatness or eminence; diHicultyf, he says, ilis that state of being laborious or hard to dofi We have often heard the expression, the harder the battle the greater the victoryfi and as we look over all the good and great things which have been accomplished in this world we see that all were obtained only by hard work. Take for example the work of Abraham Lincoln. He is first heard of in his little log cabin in Kentucky, and during his life he accomplished so much good that he has merited the name iisavior of our countryfi which every American is proud to bestow upon him. He did not attain this point of eminence at a leap, but blazed his way out of the wilderness in which he was born, step by step, until he stood at the head of the nation. The thorns which were strewn along his way to excellence were numerous. First and greatest of all was the inheritance of want to which he was born. He was forced to grow up in a world of ignorance, but he was a man, and was not to be daunted by these difhculties. His fellow citizens saw his wonderful will power and gave to him the reins of the government. But there are other ways in which we are able to show how excellence is obtained, although the thorns are many. If we look at the great work of our philanthropists, we can see sacrifices made by these workers every day. It was not until late in the nineteenth century that this noble work found a determined leader. This worthy man was Arnold Foynbee, who knew that the betterment of the unchristian, wretched laboring classes could not be obtained by giving alms, but only through intimate association and brotherly love. Thus it V'ZlS that Arnold Foynbee, a man of great wealth, refined taste and good education, gave up all his luxuries, left his beautiful home in the city and went to the heart of the slums where he lived, giving about thirty years of his life to the advancement of such a noble work But he did not work in vain, for at his death he saw his work bear fruit and at Chicago now, two of the most notable settlements of its kind are established. VAnd thus one might continue enumerating any number of such instances. In fact, all great works are obtained only through sacrifices and by overcoming ditheulties. 37 H.

Class Base Ball Vice Pres. B. H. S. A. A. So far no substitute for coal has been found. It is high time that we find an article that will take its place. The increase of manufacturing, the transportation of freight and passengers on land and sea, takes millions of tons of coal annually. Commerce and manufacturing, and, 'in short, everything in the Universe, demands either coal or some substitute for it. The use of gas is suggested. The most common kinds are natural and coal gas. Coal gas is made of coal, so when coal is exhausted we can have no more coal gas. Natural gas is suitable for people living on land, but how about the steamships and locomotives 0n railroads? Electricity is being used in many large cities for heating purposes; but the same question arises, how to supply ships in mid-ocean. Water as is well known is composed of oxygen and hydrogen. These two gases when mixed in proper propor- tions, burn, and produce a flame, rivaling the flame of an electric arc. By passing :1 current of electricity through water it is broken up into its elements, and by burning these gases in an oxo-hydmgen burner, a flame is produced as described. But this method takes too much electricity. Some time ago the Cleveland papers contained articles describing what is known as Thermo bottles. Heated substances could be put into these bottles and then set on ice for several hours without losing much of their heat. No doubt you know of the heat that can be produced by forcing the sun,s rays upon your hand With a lens. By using lenses in combination with these Thermo bottles, heat could be stored up very satisfactorily. The so-called Solar Furnaces produce tremendous heat. These furnaces are curved reflectors that concentrate the sulfs rays and produce terrific heat. The sunlight falling on a space forty-four feet square produces heat enough to run a 100 H. P. engine. By using the heat for power to run electric generators, the electricity Can be stored up in storage batteries and used when the sun is not shining. The sunlight falling on a space two yards square, produces twenty-Eve thousand degrees of heat The winds and waves may be used to supply energy in the distant future. These are several of the possibilities of heating in the future. There will be no smoke and little Hame, but what flame there will be, will be worth having. - We do not know whether eoal will give out suddenly or gradually, but we do know that it will give out for we use it faster than it is formed. The coal we use now has been millions of years in forming. Coal is made by the distillation of vegetable matter. But how will coal be formed when the trees, out of which coal is mostly made, are all cut down, as they soon will be? Who will discover this great substitute for Coal? What will it be? When, will it be used exclusively? These are some of the many questions that will have to be answered by us or our descendants. So with all other questions in this life. Let us hold our heads erect, struggle With these problems and dangers, and come out the great battle of life', victorious. 38 DAVID LIVINGSTONEeAN AFRICAN HERO At one time, the only civilization of the world was in Africa. Both art and science had their home there, but gmdually this civilization faded away, leaving it the darkest and most benighted continent in the world. For many years little attention was paid to this Country and nothing whatever was known of it except :1 small margin along the sea coast, the seat of an ancient civilization; yet beyond this, lay the real Africa with its vast popu- lation, dense forests, magnificent rivers and lofty mountains. XVithin the last fifty years a number of adventurers have been found willing to risk their lives in solving the great mystery of Africa. These men deserve to be called iiAfricafs Heroes,,, for through their eHorts Africa is being raised to a higher standard of power and civilization. One of Africzfs most renowned heroes was David Livingstone, tithe greatest man of his generation,,, who started movements destined to work :1 great change in that country. Livingstone was the first explorer who went into these regions as a iiMissionzlry Traveler,H merely to gain geographical knowledge. Educated a physician, Livingstone desired to become a missionary to China, but as this country was then closed to him on account of the Opium War, he began his work in Africa, laboring among the Southern tribes, learning their manners and customs, unconsciously preparing for the great work ahead of him. After spending over six years with these tribes, he pushed on into the interior, reaching Lake Nagama, never before visited by a white man. From thence, he moved westward, reaching the coast after months of hardship. Livingstone now returned to England, where he remained for fifteen months. Then, employed by the govern- ment to explore the Zambezi and its tributaries, he returned to Africa. In his third and last expedition, Livingstone set out to explore the watershed of Central Africa and the sources of the Nile, having been employed by the Geographical Society to settle a dispute concerning this. For several years, word was brought from him from time to time; then he became lost to the civilized world. Many believed him dead,- but the truth of this was doubted by some, and at Iaist the iiNew York Heraldii employed Stanley to go in search of him. After enduring great hardships, Stanley found him, but was unable to persuade him to return until he made another attempt to solve the geographical problem given to him. As time went on Livingstone was stricken with disease, but this did not alter his purpose, and he kept pushing on until death at last freed him from his sufferings. To Livingstone, the world owes one of its greatest debts, for he put forth great efforts for bettering the condi- tion of of the African tribes. To him belongs the honor of being the first white man to have crossed the continent of Africa from east to west. He was the iipioneer of eivilizationh to these people. Livingstone was strong and cour- ageous, and the many hardships he withstood served only to strengthen his resolution to do all in his power to uplift the African people and make bright the wdark continent.H 39 M XE l. MCCRORY Alpha Zeta Ragus Girls Assit. Mgr., tiBucyrian AN IMPEDIMENT TO INTELLECTUAL PROGRESS CHESTER A. MECK Alpha Zeta Bradwurster Senior Debating Team Foot Ball. ,07 Class Base Ball Team The indiEerence to truth and the prejudice which we have imbibed from education, customs, and party, are today the great impediments to intellectual progress. Objections are frequently urged against cultivating the habit of searching for the truth. They tell us that we are not to make truth our ultimate object, but happiness. This is urged regardless of the fact that there can be no happiness without truth. It is not to be advocated that man should search for all the truth on all subjects, for it would be ridiculous for a single individual to aim at universal knowledge; yet, we maintain that we should search for the truths on the subjects about which we desire to form opinions. Before coming to a conclusion on any question, the bottom of it should be sought, so that the opinion may be based upon the fundamental principles involved. With opinions thus based there need be no fear of the most searching test. To say that we will not put our opinions to the test, not even allow them to be questioned, is to say we will embrace them whether true or false. It is not, as is sometimes thought, a disgrace for a man to change his opinion, any more than for him to educate himself. If, in the pursuit of knowledge, no change had ever taken place, what progress would have been made? Without such a change, the worlds people would yet be like the ignorant and barbarous nations of the past; they would yet be in slavery; they would yet be the worshipers of multifarious gods. Since the advancement from the rudest form of science to the subduing 0f Natureis forces, the advancement from the wearing of the shackles of slavery to the wearing of the crown of independence, the advancement from the worship of the Penates t0 the worship of the only true and living God, are in all civilized nations heartily applauded, we take it that, instead of it being a disgrace for a man to change his opinion, it shows intelligence, manliness, godliness. To disapprove of searching for it is to disapprove of obtaining an education. But, in the face of these facts, what is the world doing today? While all pretend to advance intellectually, are all honest searchers for the truth? If Honesty prevailed, Reason have his sway, Truth would come forth from her dark hiding places and yield a golden harvest. Unity must prevail, for until it does, it is impossible for us all to possess the truth, for truth itself is unity. We may, however, come to unity without attaining t0 the truth. The fact that we do not always know what the truth is, is sometimes urged as an objection against searching for it at all. We have no infallible guide. It is therefore, wise to follow the best we have, which best we believe to be reason and experience. We are biased and are apt to put into our libraries only the books written by those who believe as we do. Are we ready to denounce the other side without knowing what it is? The doctrine of the past was to persecute dissenters in the most brutal way possible. Men have perished at the stake for even expressing their honest thoughts. Suthce it to say that persecution has marred and scarred the worlds history. But as liberty of thought increases, truth prevails. We are fast approaching the time when the first question will be, not, llWho said it? but, llIs it true?il ' HONOR iiHonorii is a small word in itself, but how great is the meaning it embraces. It is that which we all Covet, but which we do not all possess, in its true sense. We sometimes think it merely a title given us for some great deed we have done, in order to obtain it, but this is impossible, for we obtain our highest honors in the small things we do, according to the will in doing it. It is true that thieves have honorfl but that is only among themselves, and the way in which they consider honor to be best sought. But this is not true honor, for it is not right. It is iiour own heart and not menis opinions, which furnishes the standard of true honorf, To be a man of honor is worth all the gold and silver in the world, and the man who obtains this wealth needs no more, for he wears his jewels within his soul. He needs none upon his bosom. We may say we are not honored by our fellow men if they do not praise us for every good deed we may do; but honor, like character, does not come in a few moments, but, day by day, as we perform the small acts of life. Nor is it difficult for us to obtain honor in the world. This must be done by our own conscience and worth, and not by some art, for that is often our own ruin. Pliny says, iiHonor should be to us as strong an obligation as necessity is to othersfi Therefore we should not try to obtain honor through mere worldly praise, but by our own conscientious principles. VVe have been taught how the ancient Romans worshiped virtue and honor as their gods, having two temples con- structed so that none could enter the Temple of Honor, without passing through the Temple of Virtue. So from this we hnd true honor to be based upon virtue. Still honor and virtue are not the same, forhonor may take her course from the customs around us, while virtue remains the same. We may define honor as true and false, true honor being,r the internal, while false is the external. The one is based wholly upon our principles, while the other is based upon our interests, causing so many to be in a constant state of worry, fearing that they may do something to cause others to doubt their honor. The person possessing this wonderful title of honor may be given every respect for truthfulness, for his word is as good as his bond, and from this do we get the common saying, iiUpon my honor.H Here too do we find that in order to have honor, we must have truth uand through truth we are made pureYi Thus may we say that litruthil is the mascu- line, while ilpurityb is the feminine of honor. Even in the conHicts which our great nation carried on with others, we found honor prevailed and how great is the man who has gained the liHonors of War, or the military manifestations of respect. And when our ancestors were tried for their rights and liberty by fighting duels, they hlzl their Laws of Honor, which furnished the occasions for fighting, and doing so in an orderly manner. I So we may truly say that, from the beginning of mankind, we find honor to be one of the Chief Characteristics among noble tribes, not alone possessed by the greatest person, but even by the most humble. 41 LUELLA MOLLENKOPF Philomathean Ragus Girls ARTHUR F. NEFF Philomathean Business Mgr. , i'Bucyrian Bradwurster ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS iiIf you wish success in lifef, says Addison, ilmake perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counsellor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian geniusf, All of our greatest men have been the sons of perseverance. Our most successful ones were once as weak and helpless as any of us, but they toiled long and hard, and, with untiringr perseverance, they Iaccomplished the great deeds which mark their lives. This quality can do whatever is great, good and valuable. The experience of our failures and mistakes give us power, difhculty teaches us the necessity of greater exertions and the sight of great works should inspire us to have higher aims. All of these are stepping stones; and each as a victory adds strength and power. Many people would have been more successful, had they been more cautious, and carried out the old maxim, KKLook before you leap, and see before you go. ,l Hope encourages all things that are great and noble, and With its power, strength and courage come. Courage is by no means a small element, for nothing that is really worth having can be obtained without courageous working. Labor and energy, along with a proper economy, have never failed to help bring about that long-looked-for contentment. Some would have success, but they would not give toil, the necessary price, and therefore their lives are miserable failures Again, many men of today wish to have wealth without giving their own share of labor---heuce the schemes of getting rich in a day; that is, reaching the goal of wealth in a bound, instead of plodding slowly and patiently 0n the well-worn highway. You all know the history of such men---a millionaire one day and a beggar the next. Honesty is the first step toward greatness, and the truth in the old proverb, Honesty is the best policyfi is revealed every day. Uprightness and integrity are found to be as successful in business as in everything else. Hasty efforts always attain the short lived successes, if any, while it takes patience to gain the durable ones. Self-reliance encourages effort and energy, and puts great desires into practice, while outside help Checks the power of all. By the history of our great men, we see that those who not only gained wealth, but also eminence, were depend- ent on themselves at the very start; while on the other hand, the man who fails usually lacks self-reliance Everything is gained, and nothing lost, by courtesy. This quality is one of the so-called little things, but with its help success may be attained. Fixeduess of purpose is a grand element of human success. The people who have but one mark and pursue it steadily, are the ones who gain eminence. The young man who has but one aim, who goes beyond his competitors, who keeps out of debt and saves his spare money, who preserves his integrity, who gains friends by deserving them, is the one who masters his business. 42 MISSIONS We have already had brought befnre us during the year, the wonderful progress that has been made in the past in several departmentsof human effort, relating to industrial science, the growth of nations, the struggle for equal rights, the victory of man over the forces of nature and the application of these forces to our daily necessities and com- forts. Hence it seems but natural for us to take a step forward and note the progress of Christianity. Christian missions had their origin in the example and command of Christ Himself, and His line of work was, and is, being followed closely by His disciples. - In our histories, we first learn of the Roman missionaries, journeying t0 the Celtic and Teutonic worlds. The savages laboring among themselves are next, and later, England gives us a long line of noble workers from VVyclitie down to Livingstone. The Moravian Church, although a very small body of Protestants, is noted for its missionary spirit, and it has accomplished much among the Indians here on our own continent. At present, the endeavor to extend the influence of Christianity, is controlled by 21 number of boards all over the world, that have been establishing mission stations in many parts of the glbbe. In the slums and crowded sections of cities, the tenants are visited, in many cases, by servants of God who live in stately mansions and come from wealthy avenues. By this method the religious life of our city churches exercises itself, and lifts many unfortunate street waifs to a level where they may enjoy the pure atmosphere of their Creator and learn to abhor crime. Missionary work along temperance lines is not to he despised, for many men are saved yearly from the vice and crime brought on by the terrible eEeets of intoxication. The King's Daughters and W. C. T. U., along with other church missionary organizations are doingr effective work in our own city, and we, as High School students, should not fail to give the movement our most . hearty support. Men who have learned the lesson taught by the great principle of human brotherhood, stop at different times in their lives to help fallen companions. Not only do they make life more bearable for them on earth, but they instruct and prepare them for the life which is to come. Other men give up their whole lives to this service and people like the great Livingstone often lay down their lives in the work, worn out by unfavorable Climates or adverse surroundings. Surely a man who leaves his home and friends to take up mission work in foreign lands, bears a great love for his fellow-men, deserves the greatest praise and admiration, and fulhlls, in great measure, his duty toward his God. 43 S. ERNEST NEFF Alpha Zeta Editor-in-Chief, HBucyrian Foot Ball, 707 Class Base Ball Team Senior Debating Team H. S. Orchestra Bradwurster H ALICE R. MOORE Philomathean Ragus Girls CHARLES DICKENS The age during which Dickens lived was filled with many great novelists. Dickens, however, was first to achieve fame. What would this period have been without the novelist, Dickens? He was the portrayer of child life and his works have lived until the present day, always becoming greater and more widely read in each generation. However, his world is not our world, Many conditions of life have altered. Some customs which he knew are scarcely recognizable today. Thackeray said, llThe great divide between this age and ours is railway cutting. His first novel deals with the old stage coach and the life of the road, yet he lived to stiller in a railroad accident. When Dickens visited America for the first time, slavery was a flourishing institution in the Southern States. Today we are free from all forms of human slavery. Now every author who lived so long ago as Dickens, in such an age of change is more or less old fashioned and only intelligible with some effort on the part of the reader. The modern reader prefers to read that which is understood with very little effort on his part. This was also true three thousand years ago in Homeris time. Dickens writes about an unfamiliar life in an unfamiliar way For example, he was himselfa sober man, but intoxica- tion was in his circle a popular joke; to drink too much was, at least among humorists, considered comic. In the Pickwick papers almost everybody is drinking. This sets many readers against Dickens. His mind was very original in one way. Like Children, his fancy took every thing to he alive and personal. Chairs could and did talk, like uThe Easy Chuirii in Harperis Magazine. This was a form of humor which degenerated into Mannerism. Critics of his own age reproach him for his exaggeration. He began his career without a plot at all, but when he began to construct plots, they were elaborate. After giving some of Dickens, faults we will outweigh them with his merits. He was a great and friendly genius. Next to Shakespeare he supplies most of the Current quotations, allusions and illustrations in the English language. Dickens is the father of the greatest number of delightful personages in fiction and the inventor of the greatest number of delightful situations. The most comic of his later books is ilGreat Expectationsfi We place this and ilThe Tale of Two Citiesii among his best novels. Kindred t0 the fund of humor in Dickens is his feeling for the pathetic. llThe Christmas Camr, is a blending of humor and pathos, while David Copperfieltlk childish grief is told with a very touching pathos. Dickens widens the sympathies of even the highest class of people in.the world, by taking the gay for a visit to the slums of the great cities and showingr them the misery and suHering there. He is a powerful portrayer of the poor and degraded classes of society. . . He was buried in Westminster Abbey, where great kings and poets lie. Kingdoms and republics may change into new forms of social life, but the poor we have with us always and Dick- ens was the poet, the prophet, the historian, and the interpreter of the poor. 44 EVOLUTION The theory of evolution is a simple one. It has been carefully wrought out and logically argued by men of science, and theology, and their common conclusion, contrary to the popular ideas of the theory, is that there is a God---One who is not visible, but One who is eternal and omnipotent--- a great Mind Force. Maifs infinite mind is ever groping, insatiable, for the infinite, to no avail, except that this Mind Force---G0d--- becomes more of a reality. Beyond the fact of Life we comprehend nothing. We resolve it into chemical and physical agents but we Find that the spark that vivif-ies has eluded us. Probably the greatest of evolutionists is Darwin, .who has traced man-life, the highest form of life known, hack to all but infinite nothingness, t0 the first Atom---hut that atom he was forced to reverently admit was created by One who existed always before it. Then he traced man-life down again to the present age through gradual. gorilla-like develop- ments, and ethnologists have not despaired of finding the missing link,ll the creature that stands between man and beast, on earth today. Notwithstanding the ridicule in which this monkey theoryH is held by those who have not studied it but have seized and distorted certain of its statements Uike the Devil who can quote Scripture for his purposel Darwin's theory has steadily gained ground, and aside from the very evident truthful elements it contains, it should attract attention on its own merits as the serious life-work of a profound scholar. The theory pre-supposes nothing but the creation of a molecule or a single cell endowed with the Life that the Creator gave that it might be the germ of a world. After its first launching into space it grew and divided, and grew in each of its divisions, and never died. It is a bewildering maze of lucid arguments in which to wander, and, like a labyrinth, has but one safe way out. The way of life inereasing---forming peculiar environments---thr0ugh uncmmtetl ages to their welding into a comparative world---reeent anzl comparatively, too, the stages of the evolution of earth-life is easily traced. Then follows the law of Natural Selection, selection of the strongest, 01' the Survival of the Fittest, self explana- tory terms. Heredity is made accountable for the Constant higher development of types, each succeeding form profiting by the instinct for self sustenance in the form directly precedingr it. Environment and heredity combined, we point out, as the causes of racial differences in contemporary man. So environment and heredity combined, with all eternity to work their Changes in, have made plants and animals, men and worlds---with the result that we find it possible, even probable to believe that all our solar system, and the other solar systems throughout all the Universe, have sprung from a single cell so small that only the mind of God could know its measurement. This magnificent vista of creative ages that is opened to our view, dimmed with the incomprehension of a human being, is all our life. Back a long, long; way we may peer, awed at the inevitableness of Time, hack to God. Ahead we see only a few allotted years, and there, too, God, above and all about us. Perhaps He has given us to glimpse the truth that we may be prepared in the fuller image of Our Maker, some day, to see a little beyond the Atom. 45 ROSCOE L. PRICE Philomathean Bradwurster RUSSIA'S ATTITUDE TOWARD HER COMMON PEOPLE STELLA M. QUAINTANCE Philomathean Ragus Girls It is not the lives of the men and women of the brilliant society of St. Petersburg which interest us, but rather those of the common people. These people are to Russia what the American laboring man is to America, although the Russian is by far his inferior. Of the one hundred and forty millions who occupy this vast territory, about two-thirds belong to the lower Classes. They are not all of the same social standing, nor of the same race, but of varying degrees and stations of life. There are four distinct classes: The first and most important are the native Russians or laboring class, who are freemen, and by the growth of commerce and factories their numbers have increased around the great commercial and industrial centers. For these people the government has erected special buildings for education and amusements. The country cares for these people---It recruits its army, and fills the positions of the lower oH-ieers from them. As to treatment, they have a most liberal government. At St. Petersburg and Moscow the same state of affairs exists, but there all are not so favorably treated. About the year 1861, a million Or more of a still lower class received their freedom. Previous to this time, they had been under the control of a Hourishing agricultural class by which they were compelled to work, for which labor they re- ceived protection, food, and every possible comfort, somewhat as in the ancient English feudal system, excepting the fact that the Russian, when freed, was not prepared for the responsibility thrust upon him. Thus, while gaining freedom, he lost his comfort. This meant additional expense to the government, and for the former masters it meant min, for no one could be found to fill the place of the serf; therefore a decrease in the exports of the country, and starvation to many families. The Poles, who live in that part of Russia formerly known as Poland, are a division of her subjects which Russia considers most hostile. She does everything in her power to keep them subjugated; deprives them of the means of education and bars them from all positions of responsibility. The most hat ed, and the most harshly treated, yet the one who rises against all obstacles, whose movements even the Russian has difficulty in dealing with, however, is the Russian Jew. These people are given a narrow strip of land in which to live, and are compelled to remain on it. Nevertheless, their money, and the corrupt ways of the Russian ofhcers have gained for them some freedom. The question of emigration has disturbed the neighboring countries. None of them want either the Jews or Russians, and even Russia herself has been much troubled over the rapid increase of the former. We may say that Russia is unjust, and she may be so, yet we must admit that She is hindered on every hand by the complication of affairs. Most of her people are densely ignorant, and it will take years for this condition to change. OUR NEXT PRESIDENT Xtht do we expect of our next President? Many things which could not have been expected of our honored leaders of the past. He ought to have :1 high education and :1 clear foresight. He is expected to be versed in all questions pertainingr to the United States and the many conditions and varieties of its people. He must be an honor- nhle, true and freetlmn-loving man of purest type. Among the numerous questions with which he will have to contend are those of the tariff, trusts, and ways and means to prevent future commercial panics, 11nd of establishing peace throughout the Nation. The tariff is a great national affair and Congress is now wrestling with the question of putting wood pulp upon the free list. If they do this, how can they relieve the publishers alone, without releasing other unfortunate shoulders from the burden of the Old Man of the TariHPi, With the approaching campaign in view, and the tariff being the pzlrzunonnt issue on the Republican side, the Democrats wish to awake the public mind to realize that tariff creates and fosters trusts. Then which shall it be, iiTarifl, or NN0 TariffVi But who will be our future president? Not Roosevelt, for he has firmly refused to have his name presented to the country as a candidate. The Republican race is open to all. Among the favorable candidates at present are Secretary Taft, Senators Foraker and Knox, Speaker Cannon, Fairbanks, and Hughes. Taft and Foraker will have a hard struggle to gain the Ohio delegation, both being prominent in Ohio. The contest in this state will naturally attract much attention. Governor Hughes of New York has loomed up most prominently before the public eye in the last few months. He is known as a level headed, painstaking, modest ol'iicial. He speaks in a straightforward way, and does not use newspapers to raise himself in the public eye. But in his own words he says, iKI do not seek any public ofiice; I have not sought, nor shall I seek, to influence the election of any delegates. In the East Hughes is the fanorite. He is the type which appeals to that portion of the country, being a Clean, clear Cut, fearless, intellectual citizen rather than a politician. The Democrats are less successful, or rather more fortunate, in having only one prominent man in view, namely, Mr. Bryan. They will not find it so hard to decide who shall be nominated. Mr. Bryan has presented no issues or principles. He says he will not accept the nomination unless he can he in thorough sympathy with the platform. The three issues which might arouse antagonism will not be put into the party platform; as unity seems to be the purpose amongr the democrats, and individuals must yield to obtain harmony. But we must leave the decision to others, zmd hope a mun of noble vhzn'zu'ter, high standing, and with a great love for his country will gain the highest, noblest, and most responsible otlit'e of our nation. 47 VELLA E. QUAINTANCE Alpha Zeta Ragus Girls MAE B. SCHEARER Alpha Zeta Ragus Girls HPUSHH nPush,i---a word by which our nation has gained its supremacy, and a word by which our character is measured on the steps of the ladder of life. Someone has said, liNature holds for each of us all that we need to make us useful and happy, but is Nature going to carry it to us? No, we must launch out and fight our way through. Such men as Shakespeare and Macaulay did not become great by merely reading the thoughts of others, but they pushed their way from darkness into light, thus making their mark in life. liPush is frequently used as a slangr word, but nevertheless it has a sound and encouraging meaning. When we speak of iipushing through life we do not refer to rushing through and seeing how many professions we can secure, but we should have an aim in view and pursue it steadily, not doing today that which is tomorrowis work, and leaving todayls work undone, but we need to do something each day which will help us in our pursuit of life. Life is not long enough for any one man to accomplish everything, indeed, but very few have accomplished more than one thing well. The North, East, South and West furnish vast fields of enterprise; but of what avail is it for the seeker to visit the four corners of the world if he does not care to face and push through the difhculties that confront him? The world only laughs at such a fellow while he lags behind without suHiCient energy to roll up his sleeves and push. The men Who have most powerfully inHuenced the rising of our nation were not men of idleness, but were of strong convictions, who pushed their work with a determination to become great men and to live in a great nation. God has given you existence, with full power and opportunity to improve it and to be happy; He has given you equal power to despise the gift and be wretched. Which will you do, is the great question to be solved. Time, like life, can never be recalled; it is the material out of which all great men have secured a rich inheritance of thoughts. It has been written, iiThe hours perish and are laid to our chargefi If we do not push out and grasp these precious hours, the opportunity is lost and we fail. We here quote, NA steady aim with a strong arrow, willing hands and a resolute will, are the necessary requisites t0 the conflicts which begin anew each day, but without pushing, these requisites will be useless to us and will be as stones strewn in our path instead of llstepping stones to success. Therefore in our laborious journey of life let us--- i Tush. i i CONQUEST as In the early centuries, lIConquest, in its original meaningu-the act ofovercoming opposition by force---was of great value. It was a time when education was on a low level, and the people were ignorant of right and wrong, consequently an agreement could not be entered upon by arbitration, and the parties fought it out. The side having the larger force or strength was usually victorious, whether in the right or wrong. The most noteworthy conquests in early years were between the Romans and neighboring tribes. For this reason, it is evident, the Romans were victorious in nearly every conquest. In one instance alone, tracing facts down from time to time, had the Romans not been victorious, it would probably have changed our entire English History. In this one particular, the right of conquest has given us a great deal. Today, as education has reached almost the highest conceivable place, there is no need for conquest in its original sense, as in former years. In this age, we may apply the word as a mental struggle, or the overpowering of opposition in one,s mind. Generally when a discussion arises, which is small in itself, but which would have eauseda war in early years, several men are chosen to represent each side, and a discussion or debate is entered into. Now it is a matter of who can talk the best, and furnish argument to convince the opponent of his wrong. The best educated person usually wins. From the time a person enters school, there is a continuous conflict, on the part of the scholar, to overcome the opposition of pleasure and enjoyment, and of the desire to earn money before they are really capable of doing so, and it is only those who had the power to conquer their desires, that ever made any thing in this world. After school life is completed, there is a struggle between work and worldly enjoyment, similar to that in school life, but on a larger scale, which can only be overcome by a person with great will power and courage. Every one knows the Darwinian theory of the survival of the fittest Let us apply the word lIConquestI, to this; Darwin explains how animals feed on weaker ones of their kind, and in that way make it possible for only the strongest to exist. iIWould it not be for this,N he says, Whe earth would be infested with millions of animals weak and sickly, which would produce disease, and make the whole world impuref' Beside the former ways of interpreting the word, we may apply it to rivalry in games and sports. Each side tries to win the honors, but the one that has the best training, and the men best adapted for that certain contest, is the one that wins. The loser, however, is a winner in the end. His body becomes strong and well developed and his health perfect. Considering every thing, IIConquest, in every way, and to any thing you may apply the word, has given the world and its inhabitants, many great advantages. 7, 49 HAROLD L. SCHIEBER Asslt.

SCHUSTER Philomathean Class President Foot Ball, ,06. ,07 Class Base Ball Team Bradwurster Marie Jean La'Fayette was deseendent from a line of soldiers, for as far back as the fourteenth century we read or a Marchal LaFayette defeating the English. His own father fell in battle when LaFayette was seven months old. At the age of twelve he entered a college in Paris. One day while at a banquet he heard about the struggle for liberty which was then being Carried on across the Atlantic, and he at once became enthusiastic enough to desire to cross the ocean and lend himself to the cause of freedom. Against the command of his king and the entreaties of his family, he set sail for America, where he arrived, only to be slighted by Congress, which however finally grantei him a commission. He later became an aide-de-camp to Washington and thus formed a friendship which lasted for life. After being in America for some time he returned to France to plead the cause of liberty with the king. Being successful in his quest he again set sail and was able to help shut up Cornwallis in Yorktown. After the war he returned to France and took his seat in the Assembly of Notables. Later he took command of the army of France. While in the assembly he advocated the cause of the common people and urged an assembly like that of the United States. On account of his ideas he was everywhere hailed with shouts by the common people and idolized as their champion. But all this was soon changed. The Jacobites, a radical party, hostile to the moderate policy of LaFayette, gained control of the government By them he was deprived of his command and placed in prison. The streets of Paris soon ran red with blood. Under the rule of Robespiere and Marat, the two fiends of death, the terri- hle tocsin sounded its ominous knell and at its elanging thousands were ushered into a boundless eternity. Fair France was deluged with the blood of multitudes of innocent victims merely to satisfy the whim of a few monsters in the guise of men. For five years LaFayette languished in a dungeon until the great Napoleon forced his release. Even after this favor done him, LaFayette refused to accept an ofhce under the government set up by Napoleon, because it did not conform to his principle of liberty. In 1824, for the last time, he sailed for America, that country for which he had fought and bled. From one end of the country to the other he was cheered and greeted by the prominent men of the land who presented him with many tokens of their esteem. The ship Brandywine conveyed him to his home land which he was soon to leave for that land of peace where there are no sorrows or dungeons. He died on the twentieth of May 1834. Of him it may be said that his name is synonymous with law and liberty and his greatest monument is that immortal iiRepubliC 0f the Westii adored by eighty millions of loyal Americans and a government of.the people, by the people, and for the people. 50 AMERICA FOR AMERICANS When our fathers settled this continent and founded this nation, they did so for us, their descendants. In the history of nearly every nation, the founders have been actuated by this same motive. Remember the legend of Aeneas, encouraged and borne up through years of hardships and struggles by the promise that he should some day establish a great kingdom for his posterity, in Italy. In turn it is our duty likewise to plan and provide for our dc- scendants by checking those evils, which if allowed to develop unmolested, will some day threaten our existence as :1 nation. Annually, nearly a million immigrants come to our shores. Within the last ten years the sturdy and honest Celts and Tentons have gradually ceased coming, so that now our immigrants are of the lowest class that Europe contains, socially, mentally, and morally, the dregs of wnrn-out races. The majority of these people hock t0 the North, drawn there by the factories, the railroads, and often by the opportunities for crime in the larger cities. I do not say that all, or even most, of these foreigners are criminals, but they all have the criminal tendencies natural to inferior races. Too often America serves as a dumping-grountl for undesirable characters-uanarchists and fanatical socialists, who are attracted by the prospects of abusing those privi- leges of personal liberty about which they hear so much in their native lands. There IS absolutely nothing to prevent this question from becoming even more serious in the North than the Negro Problem is in the South. These foreigners are absorbing the wealth and taking possession of the lands which belong to us by all rights, and for which our fathers have paid so dear a price. Foreign-born men are able, at present, to obtain the privileges of American Citizenship, under merely nominal ermditions---the privileges which we possess as Amerit-an-b0rn---which were secured for us by blood, in the hardships and privations of the Revolution, and in the terrible battles of the Civil War. Consider what this privilege of Citizen- ship confers. The protection at all times of the American Government, the right to vote and hold office, religious liberty, I need not name all, nor could I. Must we exert ourselves to protect men who have never done anything for our country, and whose ancestors have never made any contribution to her cause? And dare we allow them to secure political majority, as they must soon do P It has been demonstrated throughout history that when two races inhabit the same territory they must either ainlagamate, or the stronger will crush the weaker. It is indeed an alluring prospect to think of our descendants uniting and intermarrying with the lowest and vilest class of civilized man in existence. However, this is not so liable to occur as the latter, and even more terrible alternative, the annihilation of the American race. Men who are authorities inform us that the genuine American is rapidly becoming exstinct! A strong statement, but true, nevertheless. Said :1 recent French writer, IiThe permanence of the American race is impossi- ble. That race will be crowded out by the survival of continental hybrids, and the last of the Americans will bcome as surely as the lLast 0f the lVIohiCausN PAUL B. SEARS Alpha Zeta Asst Ed., llBucyrian Bradwurster Class Base Ball Team Senior Debating Team Basket Ball H. S. Orchestra EDWIN W. SEEGER Philommhean Bradwurster Class Base Ball Team THE PRESS It is very improbable that Gutenberg, when he invented printing, ever thought of the future power of its in- strument, the press. Before the Efteenth century all manuscripts and books were written by hand, but since that time the printing press has gradually developed until now, the press is one of the greatest factors in the life of Civilized man---for nearly every man is benefited by the newspaper. The monthly magazines have almost as much influence as the daily newspapers. One can buy magazines treating of every useful subject which interests the minds of housewives, business men and the most devoted scholars. In some we gain an account of the doings of our celebrities at the Capitol, in others the president is praised or sland- ered according to the mood of the author. The magazines read by the common class of people are not those which benefit them but those which contain the most interesting stories. Do they not Fill an important place in the life of the working man? He has not time to devote to a treatise of a tlifhcult subject, but must refresh his mind from the depressing effect of a days work by a short story of current events. It is the same with books---The best are not generally read, but the ten-cent variety are read by the ear load. The scientific books are generally read by a few who are professional men or experts. Some books teach history, others by the chara'eter in their story stimulate the morals of the reader, others tell of travels and give us an idea of life in other countries. In some ways the press is detrimental because the reporters in their anxiety to make their productions salable do not always look to see whether every thing they imagine is true or not, thereby Conveying wrong impressions. The fiveecent novel is also a means of leading many young people astray by lowering the standard of morals, as the young are not able to discriminate between right and wrong. Thus they obtain influences on their Character which they cannot efface. But in spite of a few drawbacks, the press is a wonderful agency. By means of it we have learn- ed 0f the action of different States on Local Option, Child Labor, and many other laws upon which the prosperity of the future nation depends. The interests closely effecting the United States are explained and discussed thus stimu- lating public opinions and producing great results. Thus in all things, the press is an educator. It upbuilds and uplifts, gives us the opinions of wiser men, and acquaints us with conditions in all parts of the world. It gives us small items about great men, and in time gives us enough to know their character. It is the means by which a message is sent out from one part of the country to the other conveying news to the most remote corners of the world, which puts us in sympathetic touch with our coast states and boundary cities thus uniting us into one nation inseparable forever. Longfellow best expresses the importance of this subject when he says: Who has a book has but to read, And he shall be a king indeed. His kingdom is his ingle-nook, All this is his, who hath a book. 52 PERTINACITY Pertinacity is one of the essentials which goes to make our lives strong and useful in this world. It is said that HHe who aims at little will accomplish little, and that is a fact, for how can one hope to succeed in life, if he starts out without any leading: object at all, and then gives up before he has accomplished anything. Start out determining that you will be useful in the world, and you shall be. There are many young men who 97 seem to be utterly unconscious of what they are capable of being or doing. Their efforts are often few and feeble, because they are not awake to a full conviction that anything great or distinguished is in their power. Look at the great men like Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, and Washington. How did they come to be of so much use in this world? It was not because they were better educated than we are today, but because they had strong self-relianee and regarded nothing as impossible. The reason so many fail in life and amount to nothing whatever, is that they have no purpose, no object, no grand and noble aim to which their life is given. Others start out with a purpose; but do not stick to it, and are therefore lost to the world. It is true that many persons have to begin the voyage of life against both wind and tide, and it seems as if they were doomed to wage with Fortune an eternal war. But did you ever hear of a man failingr to succeed in any business to which he has stuck faithfully for several years? His first attempts may have been a series of failures, but he fought his way to eminence. Look at some of the successful poets. Did they not fail more or less in their early productions? Byronis first attempt was a complete failure, but he was not afraid of failure, for he said he would sooner fail than not to be among the greatest. So remember it is pluck, strong tenacity of purpose, and stubbornness of perseverance which wins the battles of life. You must consider well what that success is you wish to obtain in order to reach the true end of your being, or accomplish the objects for which the Creator placed you in this world. And when that object is in view, you must grasp it and be pertinacious to the very end. It is necessary that you start out on your career with a firm conviction that you are to rise. Although it is step by step process, just put forth your whole strength, and by and by industry will improve your talents. We do not know what our powers are, whether we are capable of great or little things, until we have tested ourselves by actual trial. Learn to bear the yokein your youth, and having started right, continue on, steadfast, firm and true, until you have reached the height of your genius. 53 MARIE A. STREIB Alpha Zeta Asslt Ed , llBucyrianll Ragus Girls EDNA G. VOLLRATH Philomathean Ragus Girls LA SALLE The lives of those men who have had some part in laying the foundation or improving the basis of our country always hold interest for all Americans; and to hear or read of those men helps us to appreciate what a vast amount of work was needed, and what great hardships were undergone to establish this nation. One thing which has helped to broaden the views of the United States is that so many different nations contrib- uted some of their bravest and best people for our welfare. Among all these nations France holds an important place and one of her greatest explorers was La Salle. Robert De La Salle was born at Rouen, France and during his boyhood he was exposed to all the dangers existing in his native country, because the English under Cromwell had stirred up the French with the same spirit that controlled them. While yet in his teenshLa Salle left France, going with friends to Canada. After staying there a few years he organized an expedition which was to reach China by the way of the Ohio river declared by the Indians to be an outlet to the Pacific. Before La Salle had finished exploring Ohio and Indiana territory, Joliet had proved that the Ohio river was a branch of the Mississippi and that the latter flowed t0 the Gulf of Mexico. Beingr deprived of his First plan to extend the French Dominions in the new world, he succeded in gettingr aid from France and with a small colony and three ships he set sail from France to establish a colony at the mouth of the Mississippi. In some way the ships were unable to find their destination, and after sailing around the Gulf for some time, they landed at what is now Santo Bly, Texas, having lost one ship containing most valuable stores. La Salle sent back two ships for supplies, in the meantime making several explorations through Texas, but did not try to find the Mississippi. Finally, no help arriving, La Salle, worn out with privations and worry, grew sullen and momse and his harsh manners towards his dwindling little colony caused them to become angry with him. This bitter feeling grew and grew until at last, he was killed by his own men on the bank of the Trinity river in Texas, in 1687. All the land which he had discovered he Called Louisiana in honor of King Louis, XIV. Part of the little Texas colony reached the Great Lakes, a few were rescued by a Spanish Fleet and the rest were cut off by the Indians. Thus the expeditions of this great man began with little success but his power gradually increased until he ob- tained the vast territory of Louisiana for France and then shrank, until it was his lot to die in a lonely spot on the bank of a little Texas stream. His life rose like the sun until it reaches its zenith then gradually sinks from sight. But the after glow will never fade from the pages of history nor will the American people ever fail to appreciate what the great explorer La Salle did for them. ODDITIES AND WEAKNESSES OF GREAT MEN llThe world of fools has such :1 store That he who would not see an ass, Must stay at home and lock the door And break his looking glass.H To this rule not even the men who have heeome famous are exempt. It seems that the biggest fools, and the men who have done the most absurd things, were of the class of men who have achieved fame as scholars, poets, painters, composers, novelists, orators or conquerors. Consider the private lives of some of these men; their biographies reveal mzmy curious things. Dryden szl s: llGreut wits to madness zu'e allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divideYi Mark Antonyis error changed the history, mzlp, and perhaps the conditions of all Europe. Who does not know that the history of the Roman people might have been entirely ditterent, if at :1 very critical period the Royal Diadem of Egypt had not been placed on the brow of :1 womanu-u womzln of most marvelous :lt't'omplishments-uzl mistress of the most bewitching arts, pleasing, persuading zuid seducing? Cieertfs chief weakness was his girlish vanity; Daniel XVehster was very fond of fishing, and his work is said to have suffered more them once because of his fondness to thin sport; Beethoven was :1 glutton. He would often order meals for three and eat all of them himself. A Common over-indulged passion has been drink, strong and otherwise. Bacon is the mun who said, all drink Plato, Socrates, Euripedes, Al izieus, and Horace all drunk interferes with your business, give up your business.H freely of wine. Goethe, Schiller, Johnson, Pitt and Fox, ulso drank to excess. Archimedes was so absorbed in his geometrical problem that, at the taking of Syracuse, when 11 soldier came to kill him, he exclaimed, llNoli turhare Cil'CulOS meosY7 Another very absent-minded man was Beethoven. Once :1 crowd was standing around his house gazing upward with merriment, as well as astonishment; Beethoven had arisen front his bed, and in his night-gown was meditating chords and diseords before :1 window---until aroused by his spectators. A good joke was in Circulation about two years ago, on :1 Professor of English in Denison University. One year he concluded that he would plant a garden. Spring tame. Among a great many other things that he planted were beans. In about three weeks after the plantingr he strolled out into the garden to see how things were getting along. To his dismay he found that the beans were out of the ground, standingr up high on little white stems. Con- eludingr that he had planted them upside down, he pulled them out of the ground and planted them right side up. He bought beams that year. 55 WlLBUR S.

COMMENCEMENT, 1908 Because of the large number of its members, the class of 1908 decided that a play would afford the most enjoyable commence- ment program which could be given. In accordance with a custom established by former classes, one of the works of Shakespeare was Chosen; namely, iiA Midsummer Nighfs Dream? The play Will be a success undoubtedly, not only for its own beauty, but also because of the ability of the actors, who, as members of the Bradwursterzstoernerverein and the Ragus Club, are accustomed to partake of iisuch stuFf as dreams are made ofll. The play is to be given under the direction of Miss Rachel Monnette, Who has proved her ability along this line of work in the successful production of the plays given by former classes. With her assistance, and with the energy and assistance of the Class, char- acteristic of their other undertakings, the production ought to be presented to the public in a manner worthy of the great dramatist.

H. Sf, feeling as'iipulled up,, as one ever finds a person, thinking that the world could not possibly get along without them, came from various parts of the city to enter the High School as Freshmen. When this class was finally settled, it found itself to be divided into two sections, one of which was under the care of the Latin teacher, Miss Daniels, the other under the care of the Literature teacher, Miss Reid. But alas, this later well loved and well learned teacher was not to remain long with this class, but soon to take up a position in Honolulu. Then came Miss Mead t0 hll the vacancy. While the class was noted for hard and energetic work, we would not have you think that it did not enjoy certain social iidoingsll for it did. There was the farewell party given Miss Reid, and then followed various other parties until Spring came with picnics to the woods and park, which naturally were enjoyed by all. So passed the hrst yearls work of this class, at the end of which this class of so-called iiFreshiesll ceased to be and became iiSophsli O11 returning the next September ready for the second year of hard work in the B. H. 5., the Sophomores found, to their sur- prise, a change of teachers and a new superintendent, who, as must be acknowledged by all, was fairly good looking and has since proved to be good through and through. Then in Miss Daniells place was a young lady, who was afterwards found to be Miss Bracher, and In the Literature room was another young lady, Miss Mills taking Miss Meadls position. Of course, as there was a new Supe1intendent in the school, there were new methods of teaching and new studies taken up. So another new teacher came. She was Miss Beal, a pleasing: and competent teache1. . In the meetings of the class of 1910 the Sophomores conducted themselves in a most orderly manner, were exceedineg courteous to a speaker, and consider deeply the motions which would benefit the class. The social amusements are also entered into with zest and enthusiasm. Judging from the class meetings of this class, one can instantly see what kind of citizens they will make. Not those who excel in their studies youlll End Are advanced as the others in greatness of mind, But those who aim high and follow their aim, Will be Erst in the victory, the first ones in fame. Now since you have read this much of the history of the class of 1910, you will begin to wonder what the members of this class expect to do, and whether or not they expect' to return next year as Juniors. Certainly they do, and the next year as Seniors, being good boys and girls every day, thus making the class the banner class of the B. H. S.

NOTE: On account of the antiquity of the people described in this history, we found it necessary to appoint our official arehzeologist and dog- eatcher, Father Goose, to examine all documents and records pertaining to the Freshmen, and to furnish him with the proper implements and supplies to make excavations and translations, take depositions, etc. The following was taken from records left on a paving brick, now in a well-known institutionj Know ye all that I, one Mabel, surnamed the Stern, do, in the second sequimester of my reign, cause this true and accurate ac- count of the Freshmen to be indicted by my poet-laureate, as follows: Now in the time of the first ripe apples of that year, came the Freshmen, known as the Verdant Ones, into the land they, now inhabit, they being a mighty tribe. In two portions came they, one to inhabit the east, and the other the west land. Two mighty ones were there, lVlabel the Stern, and Ursula the Just, who beheld, and saw that the Verdant Ones were a goodly people. ,Then said Ursula to Mabel, iiLet us conquer this people unto ourselves; rule thou over the west portion, while I Will take unto myself the eastfl . Then waged they a mighty war against the Verdant Ones, being skilled with that dread weapon, lead pencil and note-book. So often as they beheld one of the Freshmen tribe, stung they him with beauteous demerits. Now were there brave men of many wounds among these Freshmen, great leaders were they-uDuFF the Small, Grace the Great, Beatrice the Beautiful, Lindley the Good, Blair the Brave, twho had many grievous wounds yet ceased they not to strugglel Marietta, twhich being translated means love-lornl Thomas the Rhymer, whose amatory lyrics have gone afar, even unto the lands of Charles. and Richard, and others of lesser note. So that Mabel and Ursula, although strong in battle, yet could they not conquer this people. Then said they one to another, iiLet us call unto our aid Charles the Merry and Richard the Sadf, Which being done, they conquered the Verdant Ones, and Mabel the Stern took unto herself the west land, while Ursula the Just ruled in the eastern province. Now said Mabel and Ursula unto three wise ones of the tribe, iiMake ye laws unto yourselves, for your governancefl Which 70 ! these three wise ones did, making laws just and wise, called a Constitution, which they shewed unto their rulers. Then rose up Mabel, full wroth, and destroyed the tables of the laws which the wise ones had made, and said, uTake ye now unto yourselves the laws which I shall give ye, since for yourselves ye cannot make them arightfi NOW the first sequimester 0f the reign being past, said the leader of the west portion unto her people, uMake now a joyful noise, and a wonderful pageant unto the world, and call ye this a play------ tHere the thread of the narrative, as well as of the paving brick, is broken off. A careful study of the shape of the crack, as well as reference to the Style Book of The Ladies Home Journal and Other antiquarian authorities tells us that it was caused by violent contact between the brick and the head of some poet-laureate. ---FATHER GOOSEJ BUCYRUS HIGH SCHOOL COURSES OF STUDY ADOPTED JAN.6.1908. .

One unit of credit will be given for each study successfully pursued five recitations weekly for one year. The Bucyrus High School offers four courses of study: College Preparatory, Latin-German Scientific, English and Commercial. The College Preparatory requires six units of Foreign Language and admits to all Ohio Colleges, the Ohio State University requirements being taken as the standard. The Scientihc Course prepares for entrance to Scientific Schools, and admits to most Ohio Colleges. The English Course is for those who do not care to study the Foreign Languages. The Commercial Course prepares for business and general ofhce work. Each Course furnishes a good general education, but care should be taken in order to secure the one best suited to the pupills needs and adaptability. The parents, after consultation with the child and the teacher, should make the decision. 73 No child will be permitted to change Courses without the consent of the parents and faculty. After the beginning of the Third Year, no change of Course will be allowed. No credit is given in a Foreign Language for less than two yearsl work. Music, Drawing, Rhetoricals and Spelling are required in all Courses, but Drawing will be elective in the Third and Fourth Years. Admission to High School-The satisfactory completion of Eighth Grade, or Patterson Diploma. Sixteen units of study are required for graduation. Those pupils who engage in athletics will be under the rules and regulations of the Ohio High School Athletic Associa- Special notice should be taken of these two rules: A contestant must have maintained, up to the end of the week preceding that in which the contest occurs, a passing grade in studies requiring at least fifteen prepared recitations per week. Any pupil who is under penalty of discipline, or Whose tion. character or conduct is such as to reflect discredit upon the school, is not eligible. latterary Snrietirs The year of 1901 was marked by advance in many lines, but it stands out in the history of our High School as the year in which our two literary societies were organized. The advances made in other lines have been, and undoubtedly were, more important, and of more general advantage, but in the little world of school life, few events have done more good. The societies, named uPhilomatheanH and iKAlpha Zeta,H were organized so that they might be perpetual. Annually, at the opening of the school year, members have been chosen, and the societies have been reorganized. Thus, for six years, they have not only added to the pleasure of school life, but have been of educational value as well. The aid toward public speaking and parliamentary'drill which they have given has been of great service to every one who has taken part in the exercises which have been given at regular intervals, and as uwhat is excellent is permanent, we can but hope that their merit will keep for them a lasting place in the High School curriculum. The High Sthuul Grthwtra Early in the year of 1908, the High School Orchestra was organized, under the direction of Professor Goldsmith. Usually 0r- Chestras are organized for the purpose of creating sweet music or pleasing chords in discordant places. This orchestra, however, was organized, not for the purpose of overcoming discords, but to stimulate a greater interest in lVIusic in our High School. Dora Eichman, Curtis Roop, Violet Fitzer and Paul Sears, are the violinists who follow Stella Barth, leading on the piano. Mildred Eichman plays the cello and Lindley Sears handles the score belonging to the Hute. Frederick Blicke and Ernest NeH furnish the iibrassl, by manipulating the pistons of two comets. Practice is held every Tuesday evening immediately after school and by hard work the orchestra hopes to render difficult selections quite creditably. SENIOR DEBATING CLUB One of the most pleasing,r events of the school year and one which will long be remembered by those present was a debate at No. 2, Bug rus Center, Schoolhouse, between the Lincoln Club of Mt. Zion and the Senior Team, the former Club having issued the challenge. The Challenge, which stated that a debate was sought, to be held at any neutral schoolhouse, and con- ceded Choice of question or side, seemed to have a rous- ing eHeCt upon the iidtttch,, of the Senior Class, for with one assenting voice they said, iiTell them that well be therefi The ansWer was at once sent, giving the Lin- coln Club Choice of question. Apparently after much searching.r through their old chestnuts, we received the following,r euphonious enigma, ii jxesoh'ed that nature has a greater inHuence over the formation of character than has educationf, The Senior Team chose the AHirma- tive. On the night 0f the debate the spirit of the High School was shown, hay wagons being much in demand. It seems as though both sides were after scalps, as much energy was eX- pended upon preparation. Our opponents, all experienced debaters, must have lost some sleep about the proposition they had on hand, for Mr. Harvey, a law student at Ada University, was hired to strengthen their array. After a most entertaining program had been duly executed by the Senior Class and their hosts, came the time for slaughter. The Senior Team laid much stress on Nature as a foundation, while the Lincoln Club seemed undecided as to whether it had a Strong: point or not. The jury was packed on us with a skill that did much credit to our opponents, experience in such matters. A quite. peculiar fact was that everyone, excepting two out of three judges, were convinced of the truth and superiority of our arguments. The speakers in order were: Senior Team Gardner, E. Neft, Meck, Sears. Lincoln Club-Leitzy, Heinlen, Shroll, Harvey. tNote: Mr. White, of the Senior Team, was unable to debate on account of illnessJ THE RAGUS GIRLS No history of the Bucyrus High School would be complete without mention of the iiRAGUS GIRLS,H the cooking Club of l08. The first meetin: was held in the fall of 1907, but the name iiRAGUS GIRLS,l was not given t3 iiitll then. At this meeting the appropriate mottJ, iiDUX FEMINA FACTIf, was chosen, which motto has been adhered to closely LU by every member of the club. When the holidays arrived the same organization entertained the faculty and members of the High School with an interesting program, including the appearance of Santa Claus, who presented each person with an appropriate gift, eexcepting the dear little Freshies, who were too bashful to claim their cheerfully given Xmas packagesl In January, 1908, these same Seniors formed a cooking club, to which, for obvious reasons, the name, iiRAGUS GIRLSX, was given. The members were divided into three groups, one group to entertain the remaining two, twice a month. That the organiza- tion might be practical, the entire lunch served by the entertaining group had to be prepared by the girls of that group. An explanaa tion is required of each member as to the manner of preparation of her part of the lunch. All this has not been in vain, for one Senior has learned that you do not always put butter in cocoa, which she declared she thought necessary. The most important of all the iTRAGUS GIRLST, entertainments, was the Valentine Frolic given by them for the pleasure of the Senior boys. The amusement of the evening was the skillful interpretation of the gKNAVE OF HEARTS, by one of the Senior boys, who under ordinary circumstances, is the most dignified being of the whole class. But the crowning feature of the iidoingsl, was the delicious lunch served by a group of the EKRAGUS GIRLSXT who had prepared it themselves. This proved to the doubting boys that the girls of i08 coald cook more substantial eatables than fudge; at least they were eager participants in that part of the evenings entertainment, and at its conclusion seized the opportunity to give an expression of their thanks in maiden speeches. Of course none of the members are perfect cooks as yet, and some amusing mistakes are made; but each NRAGUS GIRUl profits by these, so that there is no doubt in any mind that by the end of the year they will have attained unto the loftiest heights of culinary perfection. 76 n HNPATNERS BREATH DER BRADWURSTZERSTURNERVEREIN For the beneht of those who have not had a four years scientific course in advanced Scientific German, I will endeavor to explain the meaning of this highly intelligent word uBRADVVURSTZERSTURNERVEREINH which was taken from the German Classics while Miss Streib had her back turned. A literaltrmlslation in simplified English of this word would be ll Society of Sausage Destroyersf7 With the meaning Hi this intelligent 1 word 80 clearly defined, let it he hoped that there is no doubt anywhere :15 to the purpose of this organization with the above title. This organization is composed of dignified Seniors only, and no one with less than sixty ounces of brain is admitted to its mysteries. Seniors who have weak stmnzichs and bad teeth should not apply for admission. May the Brzidwurstzersturnerverein he an organization which will lin- ger long upon the face of the earth, and may its shining light and enno- bling qualities forever have a predominating influence over mankind. As the Senior Class of l07 was always boasting of what they could and would do if ever they came in contact with iithat puny bunch of Juniorsfy tto quote their elegant expressionl we decided to afford them a beautiful opportunity by Ndropping in,, on their next class meeting. BLOODY 5 I X i We did not have long to wait until this patriotic gem was camping on a conspicuous place on the front board of the High School Room: liALL SENIORS MEET AT THE HOME OF RENA NUSSBAUM, TONIGHT. t 1M PORTANT BUSINESS W . , l . lAt last the time had arrived when some members of the Senior Class A. Ne were to meet their doomJ . The Bloody Six, twho gained this moth-eaten title after this thrilling little adventurel at once started for the home of the fair Senior maiden aforementioned, and after forcing the entire assembly to keep within doors, we awaited the grand finale. As all things have an end, even so did this class-meeting At last the doors were opened, and out walked the girls with the boys in the rear as reinforcements. They immediately began to break up into small squads, and likewise did the Bloody Six. One brave Senioret had the premeditated audacity to see a Seniorette h0me--eAlasl Alackl He was captured by the band, bound hand and foot, but his captors hearts were touched by the plea that issued from the lips of his fair and beautiful tand somewhat youngl lady friend, and he was allowed to have his freedom. lNot forever just long enough to escort her homefl While departing from the home of the young lady he was siezed by the strong hands of the Bloody Six and tied quite fantastically to a nearby treeenow famous. After completing our work we repaired to an alley not far distant to watch the after effects. Soon a figure appeared on the scene, her hat and coat were discarded, and in her hand she carried a large weapon, that glistened in the moonlight. tOur official archoelogist subsequently informed us that it was her motherls carving knife. ll Cat-like she crept to where her beloved class-mate was helpless. After several fruitless attempts to untie those horrid knots she resorted to her knife, and thus she saved the Pride of the Class of 1907. Never since the days of Joan of Arc, or Pocahontas, has a girl displayed so much budding heroism as hereinbefore recorded, and another name has been added to the list of the brave and the famous. Thtis endeth the history of the historical BLOODY SIX. Selah. R. A. J. 80 ATHLETICS IN GENERAL A school is often judged by its interest in athletics. Although the Bucyrus High School has not been surpassed in this department by many schools of the same class, yet it has not accomplished what has been desired; not because of the lack of interest of the students, however, but because many of the requisite appliances have not been supplied. This is probably due to the fact that the importance of this part of our work is not realized by most of those who are the most interested in school work. There is nothing which arouses enthusiasm and the spirit of loyalty in students as athletics. A course of successful athletics means a year of good work both upon the gridiron and in school; it gives many the needed exercise and recreation, it breaks the dull monot- ony of the school routine and is helpful to both body and mind. When establishing relations with other schools through athletics, onels interest in his work is increased and he is more appreciative of the advantages he has. Athletics play almost as active at part in a manls trainingr as the other portion of his education, for they help to build him up in physical strength without which his book-learning is practically useless. Basketball and Baseball give their participants accuracy, swift- ness and agility, and it is a well-known fact that Football, beside supplying all these, gives the player much of the strength, endurance and animal courage which are so necessary for a successful career in life. There are some who severely criticise athletics saying that they tend to take the place of the regular studies, but it should be noticed, these criticisms are never made by those who have ever taken part in them and know the rules and regulations by which they are governed. Probably owing to this fact, not only the conveniences but even the necessities of athletical sports have not been supplied. Another thing that has been of great disadvantage to our athletics is the fact that we have never had the advantage of regular systematic training and coaching. These criticisms have not been made to justify any unsuccessful season, for if anyone has a right to be proud, it is the members of B. H. S. All who are interested in athletics are pleased to note the growing interest which has been shown this year, and it is the wish of those who now end their High School career that the records of the teams of following years should far surpass those of the past successful seasons, and judging from the material that remains, it would be perfectly safe to make such an augury. Although the members of l08 will never again take part in High School athletics, yet they will always be interested in them and persistently iikeep tabH on them, and without doubt many times will they wish that they were in the iibunchll straining their voices on the good old yell: Bean Soup, Pumpkin Pie, AC-der-liber, Bucyrus High. Bucyrus High, Bucyrus Low Bucyrus--O-hi-0. A parting word to all following teams, ilWork hard and be able to give them all the ihorse-laughY ll 82 FOOT BALL If there is one who thinks that there is any sport that excels foot ball in showing what kind of ustufP, a person is composed of, he certainly doesnlt understand the game, which can justly be called the game of games. None but those who have played it know of its benefits and the requirements of a good player. It is a game demanding strength, quickness, courage and quick perception besides a cool head and a well-controlled temper. Many criticize foot ball because of its roughness, but those who do so undoubtedly have never known the sensation which is felt just before the whistle is sounded for the kiCk-off, or have stood spell-bound on the side-lines during a spectacular play and afterward llyelled themselves hoarse. l l Every one loves a fighter. Foot ball has been compared to the battle of life. All through life we have hard lines to ilbuck. We have the weakest points in the opposition to discern, we must have courage and perseverance for we are often Htackled lowll and come to the earth with a thud; we must see the weak points in our own attack and strengthen them and we must bring all our forces to work in unity in order to reach the goal and secure the lltouchdown? What man who is confronted by great obstacles will not receive a valuable inspiration by recalling his foot ball days? The past season was certainly a success and all those who have given their attention to this game agree in saying that the ii ,07 team has far eclipsed any team that has ever represented the High School. With the exception of being beaten by one team we won our games by running up some astonishing scores. Although we were somewhat discouraged at the beginning of the season, yet the saying chat the darkest hour is the one preceding daylightfl proved true, for interest increased, the team was managed more systematically, and we fought our battles hard, and won. Our games were well attended by those who, by their influence, support and iirootingll helped to win them; for with his classmatels support any representative would be ashamed to do other than his best. Throughout the season we endeavored to play good clean ball in which purpose we were very successful as shown by the fact that all the teams in this section of the state were delighted when they learned that a game had been scheduled with us; and also by the fact the papers of the cities that have always been our rivals, contain quite lengthy editorials concerning our excellent team work and our, gentlemanly conduct while in their city. The saying of Pope, uAuthors are partial to their wit,,, can also be applied to foot ball players and foot ball. Assuming this to be true we trust these statements will not seem boastful, for perhaps just as complimentary ones could be made concerning the teams of previous years and probably will be made of those in years to come. But although succeeding teams may be able to show as good a record, yet if they want to derive as much benefit from this sport and have as good a time, all the editor has to say is that they will have to ligo somefl 84 Oct.

With a large number of boys present at the first call for a foot ball team to represent B. H. S. on the gridiron for the ensuing season, was started one of the best teams that ever represented our school. The team was organized shortly after the fall term of study began and was soon running smoothly. Practicing: 0n the campus at every opportunity, we soon saw that we could have hopes of a winning team. VVe at once proceeded to elect the necessary oHicers and adopted the rules of the North Western Teachers Association and the seasoxfs work began. As B. H. S. had a hereditary desire to ilclean up on Fostoria High, we tried to open up the season by bringing them to our city on Sept. 21, but after several controversies concerning the eligibility of several of the Bucyrus players, in which the heads of the teams could not come to a satisfactory understanding, the Fosioria team was called from the field, consequently there was no chasing of the ilpig-skinl, and B. H. S. had to be contented with only seeing them and not doing what they had contemplated. After practicing all the next week we paid a visit to the Indian Village and succeeded in taking their scalps t0 the tune of 22 t0 0. On the following Saturday we went for , Shelby and, although somewhat crippled, we were determined to win. However after a hard fought battle we were forced to accept defeat at the hands of our hosts, the score being: a llbeautifulll one of ll to 0, which was not so bad taking everything into consideration. On Oct. 12 we succeeded in bringing TiHin H. S. to Bucyrus and after a lengthy talk with Mr. Frazier, a member of the Asso- ciation, we were allowed to place one of our best players in the game for the hrst time, and before a good crowd we defeated T. H. S. by a clean score of 27 to 0. By continual practice for the Upper Sandusky game to be played on our grounds on the following Saturday, the team was able to pile up a neat lllittlel7 score of 90 to 0; and by so doing, with shorter halves, we ran up a score excelling the one made by Fostoria on 87 the same team on the preceding Saturday. On Oct. 26, B. H. S. went to Tifhn for their return date, and on a wet Field and in a drizzling rain defeated them for a second time, the score being 11 t0 0. As the Marion High School had been making a good showing at the beginning of the season, we arranged two games with them in order to add them to our list of the vanquished. On Nov. 2, they came to Bucyrus, and on a wet field with short halves of ten- ten, we rolled up a big score of 32 t0 0. On Nov. 9, after offering all kinds of inducements to get the Galion team to come to our City, we were forced to go to Galion or not have the pleasure of Hdoing to a finishll our old rival. So the wearers 0f the iiBl, before a large crowd, were successful in bringing back a score of 44 to 0. Since all things have their iiups and downsll and since B. H. S. is no exception to the rule, we had to have our iidownsl, as well as our iiupsfl On Nov. 16, on Bucyrus grounds, Shelby played its return game. Although our team was in good condition, we let the Shelbyites defeat us the second time by a score of 5 to 0. The game in reality should have been a tie but on an out-of-bounds run, Shelby was given a touch-down. On the following Saturday, as Marion had cancelled her game With us on account of a crippled team, our team went to Bloom- Ville and played one composed of High School and Alumni players. As we wanted to save our team for the Thanksgiving game, several changes were made and some of our players were left at home. After a one-sided game in which several new plays were tried, we added another high score, 54 to 0, to our list. The following Thursday was Thanksgiving day, upon which date we generally bring to our city a very strong team. As the Col- umbus Mutes had been making an astonishing record on heating High School teams, we brought them to Bucyrus. On an ideal day, before the largest crowd that ever assembled in Bucyrus to witness a High School contest, we defeated them by a score of 11 to 0. As most High School schedules come to a Close 011 this date, the games of l07 of B. H. S. came to a successful end, and after a season of victories and financial gain the iimole-skins, were packed away for the wearers 0f the iiBll who will represent B. H. S. on the gridiron in 1908.

S. baseball team of ,07, which was mainly composed of inexperienced men, was organized very late in the season and owing to the great amount of wet weather, but little practice was obtained. The team.was somewhat handicapped by the withdrawal from school of one upon whom it depended for iitwirlerll. Trautman, however, throughout the season showed his ability as a pitcher and more than a few of those who faced him wildly fanned the air trying to hit HRedls foolers . The first game of the season was played at Upper Sandusky. As the game was progressing nicely, a severe storm set in and the snow came down in such quantities that the fielders caught snowflakes instead of baseballs. Although B. H. S. was badly beaten, and the players were troubled with guilty consciences, they all reported a good time. On April 20 the representatives of Bloomville High made their appearance in Bucyrus, and in the afternoon quite a large crowd witnessed their defeat. In this game the work of both teams was excellent. At the beginning of the last inning it looked as though Bloomville would be iiskunked , as the score stood 3 to 0 in our favor, but a wild throw at the plate allowed two runs, making the score 3 to 2. On the next Saturday B. H. S. went to Bloomville. The day was an ideal one, the boys Hplayed the game , and ellectively Hput the cleaner to their hosts. They were in exceptionally good spirits, both during the game and after it was ended, and seemed to have enjoyed themselves greatly. The truth of the statement that a bad beginning means a bad ending was fully demonstrated this season, for in the last game, which was played between B. H. S. and the Upper Sandusky team, Bucyrus was defeated. .This was the best game of the season, and all was excitement from start to finish. Von Blonls slants again proved too much for us, consequently our defeat by a score of 12 to 10. Although B. H. S. has never had the success in baseball that it has in football, yet the comparatively low scores, and the limited number of the seasonls games, were not caused by any mismanagement, but by the bad weather, because of which the Galion and Mt. Gilead games were cancelled. Marion, as she invariably has done for the past few years, raised the cry of a crippled team and the difliculty of securing expenses; the former is probably due to inroads made upon her ranks by Galion and HUpperll and the latter to the great amount of material destroyed by excessive LU practices. As a note upon the previous thought I would say that such satire is rather iimeanfy but it seems to be well deserved. The members of this-team were loath to see the season end, having had the satisfaction of playing but four games, but most of them consoled themselves by thinking how hard they would play, and what a record they would make, in i08 when the welcome cry iiplay ball,, should again greet their ears.

H. 8., for this season saw its first team. The object of its organization was not so much to have a winning team as to get a start and some experience for the season of 1909. Previously Basket Ball has been confined to college athletics, but during the last season many High School teams were organized throughout the state, none of which however, accomplished very much because of the diHiculty of securing suitable places in which to play. For this reason but few teams would schedule games with us, and what few dates were made were broken. VVe had our hearts set upon beating: the Galion team and a few others but the Chance did not present itself. Our expectations were aroused several times but each time we were doomed to disappointment for a few days before the looked-for events were to take place, the games were cancelled. Although no games were played abroad yet a number of games were played with local teams, in which, with one exception, B. H. S. was Victorious. Those interested in Basket Ball want to forget the fact that but little was accomplished the first season and look forward to 21 brilliant set of games next Winter; for, with the practice and experience gained this season. next yearls team will un- doubtedly be a hummer. A glance at the list of players will show that most of them are ,09 men, so the team will only sustain a loss of two players which loss will not be felt, owing to the number of good players that remain. It is evident to all observers that if Basket Ball receives the support of the school, it soon will be as firmly established in our athletics as is Football and Base Ball, a distinction which it justly deserves. 94 CLASS ATHLETICS Nineteen hundred and seven is an important date in the history of B. H. S., for early in this year the members of the school first turned their attention to inter-Class contests on the baseball diamond. No Class contests in football took place because of the deficiency of the iiarmorii in which to play. Owing to the smallness of the Senior and Sophomore classes, they united their forces, and during the season played two games; one with the Fourth Grammars, in which they were defeated by a score of 9 to 0, and one With the Freshmen, in which they were again outclassed, the score being 11 to 6. The Junior team played three games, the first of which was played with the regular High School team, and was the best and by far the most exciting of any of the seasons games, the score being 7 to 10 in favor of B. H. S. The other two games were played with the Freshmen, in both of which luck was against us, or rather too few of us were baseball players. Both games, especially the hrst, were very exciting, the scores being respectively, 18-20 and 7-18, both against us. Much spirit was shown by both classes, and if the interior of the iidensii of some could be seen, many stolen i170 pennants and ,08 caps, which are kept as souvenirs, would be disclosed. The Freshmen and the Fourth Grammars had five hotly contested games in two of which the former were victorious, and in the other three the latter. It seems to be a law in B. H. S., the number of baseball players is inversely proportional to their rank for it is seen that the upper classes contain very few baseball players, while the larger part of the lower Classmen take much interest in this sport. These games were not played for the purpose of simply winning for the record,s sake, and all seemed to feel that they were played for the sporfs sake, and to have a good time, which result was-certainly obtained; for although all the teams at times met defeat, yet they accepted it with good grace and held no enmity against their opponents. Although some undue demonstrations and a little rough- ness were observed, yet they were not the results of any feeling of animosity, but of purely Class spirit. It is to be hoped that just as enjoyable games will be played this season and for many seasons to come. THE FIELD MEET AT GRANVILLE The Northwestern 'lieachersl Association, under the rules of which our athletics have been carried on for the past few years, has been succeeded by the State Association, the constitution and rules of which are nearly identical with those of the former. ' lVluch inconvenience and trouble was caused by the old Association, for when games were to be played between schools of different associations, much red tape had to be unwound before the game could be legally played. For the purpose of eradicating: these faults, and increasing the interest in all forms of athletics, es- pecially those forms which have received little or no attention, the new Association has been organized, and includes all the High Schools of the state. To stimulate competition among the schools it has been decided to hold annual field meets in different parts of the state. In the early part of June of this year, the first of these meets will be held at Dennison University, and all the schools of the state are encouraging: their members to spend all their spare time in training for this event. Our school has been somewhat slow in beginning preparations, and, although the time for the selection of our representatives is near at hand, but little practice is obtained, and it is feared that if no more interest is taken in training, B. H. S. will not bring the honors that it intends to. By a little practice it will undoubt- edly win laurels for the fact has been fully demonstrated that our school is not wanting in fellows With muscle. The preliminary gtry-outH will be held on the school campus on May l5, and the winners in this con- test will be those who represent us at Granville. This event will take place so late in the year that the result a . . . n . , . . . cannot be tabulated In this issue of The Bucyrian , however, the entrles can be given, and the results Will be contained in next yearls Annual.

The Class of WlSii boasts of havingr on its roll a person who has expounded the theories of Darwin to such an extent that he leaves absolutely no grounds for uncertainty in the matter. After extensive laboratory research and much time spent in examining species of monkeys, baboons, orangoutang, chim- panzees, and other animals suspeeted of beingr the origin of man our evolutionist declares that at last he has found the missing link.H Darwin himself never showed greater brilliancy or talent in this line of work than the person who at present is one of our class-mates. His theories show extensive and comprehensive knowledge of the subject. His ideas upon gNatural Selectionii and MSurvival of the Fittesti, are incomparable and unrivalled by even the world's great- est evolutionists, and we are certain that within the next year or so, the mystery of manis origin which has so long puzzled the minds of experts of all ages, will be unquestionably solved. THE LELVION CLUB With each progressive age comes new progressive ideas. Some of these ideas spring from need, some from necessity zmd some from pure desire. Most of these ideas however now-n-days are the result of cruel necessity. iiNuf Sedfi It was necessary to organize this ancient order many ages ago, for, we learned, Eve presented Adam with a lemon in the form of an apple. Aneas, in the course of his wanderings, was forced to hand ll iijuicy Iimeh t0 Dido, Queen Of Carthage, who many years later returned it in the gUnder Worlc . Through John Alden Priscilla pushed a Hyellow wzlhnit out to the doughy iVIiles Standish, who promptly handed in his application for admission to this sacred order. At last dire ezilzunity has forced certain members of the B. H. S. to join the Lemon Club. ,F. Blicke was the first victim; a lemon having been strung on a telephone wire and slipping down broke on his left ear. A. Neff, soon after tilled out his application blank and E. Neff, not caring to be a Iaggzu'd, followed in the tracks of his hroth' er. At last the three iifratresii are happy and meet lemons with smiling and cheerful emmtenzmees. The requisites for admission in this order, are at least three fully developed lemons. The lemons must be products of Bucyrns, and it matters not whether they are handed to the receiver wrapped up, and by :1 person with gloves on, 01' in their crude state. The chief object of the Club is to receive lemons, and no mem- ber is allowed to hold correspondence with any one but a iilime siingel'. Of course no member minds being iistungfi for it gives them a better Chance for showing their good nature. History has shown us that the Lemon Club has always been very careful in the selection of its members. This alone accounts for the small number enrolled in the Bucyrus chapter. Sears and Schieher have asked several times to have their names put upon the roll of the illustrious iiLime Receivers, but they have yet to learn PATCHES FROM THE CRAZY QUILT msmwmwtgmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmw 1 E the value of a true lemon and to distinguish that article from a peach.

A TALE OF LONG AGO At one time, so long ago that even your grandfatherls grand- father does not remember it, children, when purple mice with yel- low wings roosted in every Chimney-top, and pickle bushes grew up COWS legs if they went to sleep in the pasture over night, when bugs there were, many of which weighed a ton, and the Gililooloo Bird sang lIGod Save the Queenli each evening at sunset, in a deep bass voice, there lived two mighty noblemen, tbrave knights they were indeed, whom nothing less than a flea under their armor 011 a red- hot day Could dauntln-by name Duke Frederick and Count VValter, who were the best of friends. Now Duke Frederick lived in a palace in the city, with hisaged grand-sire, while Count VValter dwelt on an extensive country place, which contained a most excellent game preserve. One beautiful September morn, when the sun, in all his golden splendor, was just peeping over the eastern forests, and the dew- drops glistened like pearls on every blade and leaf, and the very air tingled with inspiration, Count VValtefs page alighted at the gate of the Dukels palace, and being admitted, announced an invitation from his master to Duke Frederick to go hunting on the game preserve, that very mowing. So the Duke hade his own an aflectionate farewell, called for his horse and two men-at-arms, 11nd sped merrily away for his friendls home. The two nobles hunted all the morning, taking different roads through the wood. Upon their meeting for the customary 110011- day refreshments of angells food and champagne, Duke Frederick observed with great chagrin that his host had secured :1 plenteous bag of squirrels, whereas he himself was empty-handed. Upon inquiring the secret of the Count s success in catching squirrels, he was in- formed that that worthy had simply climbed the trees and talked nutty! - Some months later, Duke Fredersck, not to be outdone in hospitality, invited Count VValter to attend a most gorgeous and splendid feast in town. Many noble lords and ladies were there who PATCHES FROM THE CRAZY QUILT CEEEKglEQEEQEgESEEQEEQEEEQSQSE H 00 came; but among them all, none of the lords was so favored in the eyes of the fair damsels as was Duke Frederick. In fact, my child- ren, a sigh was heaved whenever he turned his head, and when he bowed to one the others would weep from envy. Count Walter naturally besought his friend for the reason for this state of aHairs. Duke Frederick, embracing his friend, and drawing him gently aside, whispered into his upturned ear, IIO, I just go to elass-meeting and talk nutty!H FATHER GOOSE Why is Augusta Myers like an old fashioned school marm?
