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.

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.

STELLA V. BARTH Philomathean Ragus Girls H. S. 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
