This reminded me of some printing which I had been intending for some time to have done, so l entered and after a short wait was ushered into the editor's private i'1l:F1L'6. The editor was sitting with his back toward me, and I thought I must be mistaken, but as he turned around all doubts were dispelled. Sure as the world it was Buggy He had intended to be a civil engineer, but while working on the Lorifs the habit had become too strong to break and now he was publisher of one of the largest papers in America. We talked for a short time upon different subjects, and as I arose to go, lrvfng exclaimed, Oh, don't be in a hurryg come, go out home with me for lunch. Anna will be delighted to have you. Anna? I questioned. Yes, you have not forgotten Anna Carter, have you? he replied. I hadn't however. I had scarcely expected to tind her there, but there she was. as l found after a short trolley ride, still very happy on a farm in the suburbs, raising ducks, chickens and turkeys. Naturally. after lunch, our conversation turned to Dover High bchool friends, but it seemed, however, that Irving and Anna had not kept up with the '15 class much better than I had. Nevertheless my curiosity had been so aroused that after returning home that afternoon, when my eyes fell upon the newspaper account of si scientist who had invented a machine, which reliected the sound and action of any desired place. l immediately started to visit him to see if he could show me some of my classmates. After traveling quite a distance on the train I arrived at the town where his studio was located. It was an odd-looking structure, situated upon a high hill, and topped by a very tall tower lilled with delicate- looking machinery and glasses. At the front of the building was a door marked CIfiice. As I entered a man sprang up from a desk, and DOVER HIGH SCHOOL I3 although somewhat older looking, I immediately recognized XVes. George. He had made this wonderful machine, building it up as he told me upon the principles of deflection of light and sound, of which Miss Moore had taught him the beginning in High School. Vtfes. willingly consented to show me the members of our class and directed me to look into a thick, dark looking glass which lay upon a table near by while he focused the machine. At first I rather doubted the success of the experiment, for the glass looked dark and did not even reiiect the things about it, but then slowly it began to light up and I saw mirrored the interior of an othce. At one desk was seated Frank Prftchett writing a book upon Evolu- tion, and at his elbow sat Peg Parvis acting as private secretary, but as I looked Peg stood up and said: Now, Frank Pritchett, you don't need to think I am going to work forever: we'll just quit for to- day, and Frank immediately put away his work. I heard no more, for the glass clouded, and when it again cleared I saw instead broad spreading orchards and well-tilled fields, and between them, directing the laborers, walked Talbott Raughley and Harry Jackson. Even though Talbott had grown a Yan Dyke beard and Harry side burns and a moustache, I recognized them and knew they must have successfully 6 1 . - taken up scientihc farming. Then the glass again darkened, but the change of focus must have been small, for it immediately cleared and I saw Camden. Down the street came Bee Evans driving a mule to a farm wagon and holding a basket of eggs in her lan. When she came to the corner soire one called: Goin' to Dover? Looking up I saw Bob Quillen at the up- stairs window. Yes, if you want to go, come on down stairs. But il'm not upstairs 3 and sure enough there was Bob standing in the lawer liall lcoking out of the upstairs window. The next scene was some time in coming, and I recognized it as one of the large XVestern cities. Une of the streets was roped off, and as I listened, I heard some woman quarrelously explain: XVell, I don't see why we common folks should have to walk clear around this street. just because some important actor man is to have his throat worked on, and a little noise might disturb him. Then I saw that the build- ing, near the middle of the closed street, was a hospital, and as I be- came accustomed to the light, I saw Billie Vvfalker, lying on the operat- ing table, while Doctor Byran Cubbage dressed a small, new healed in- cision upon his throat, and in a farther ccrner of the room, dressed in white nurse apron and cap, stood Ted McBride, slyly talking to a young doctor, while the matron had her back turned. I had scarcely recovered from my surprise at this scene, when, suddenly, the reflection was changed, and I saw a Chautauqua tent, crowded to overflowing, while before the applauding crowd sfccd Iflorence Jackson and Jack Ford. By listening to the remarks being I4 THE i,o1'Us made, I gathered that Florence had just made her debut in Chau- tauqua as a soloist. while Jack, who had made his beginning at D. H. S., had become prominent as a lecturer. The next scenes were hurried through, for the light was growing dim, and now that I had begun, I determined, if possible, to see the remainder of the class. Ivy Hudson was shown sitting at a desk in the library at Vassar College, where, it seems, she had received the position of librarian, after completing her education in that line. Then, next, I saw Eugenia Raughley, who had her art studio in New York, and I knew her, naturally because she sat beside an un- tinished picture, upon which the colors were drying, while Eugenia fixed her hair more becomingly. But, perhaps, it was best that NVes had saved this next and most startling sight until last, for before me spread the Halls of Congress. and at the Delaware Senatorial desk stood Myrtle Raymond, making a speech upon the Progress of VVomen in Politics. I could scarcely realize that this was Myrtle, if I had not before heard of her work in Delaware as a suffragist. Then the glass became dull and I could see no more reflections. Perhaps it was best, for already I had begun to doubt my reason, and wonder if it wasn't a pretty good joke that was being put over on me. However, lVes seemed to have implicit faith in his machine, so I took his word for its being real. Madge Nickerson, QIS. CLASS WILL. Class of Fifteen, about to die, salutes you! Contrary to the custom in such cases. and loath as are all mem- bers of my conservative profession to establish precedents, only at the behest of my noble client, eighteen in number have I called you to- gether before her death, to hear her will and to receive her gifts. I was persuaded to this action by the unusual circumstances of my client. I dread to tell you. but be calm: the doctor is here ready to re- vive all fainting ones, but he can not attend too many. Here is my secret: keep it well! A consultation of doctors was called together on Friday, May the twenty-eighth, doctors never known to fail in their prognostications. They have announced that on Monday, june the sixteenth, the Class of Fifteen must die. Had I known what a commotion you would raise, and how badly DOVER HIGH SCHOOL I5 you would feel. the President himself could not have dragged this secret from me. My client wishes me to state that, owing to a light- ness in the head, caused by its gradual swelling during the last three years, and a heaviness in the hearts and other organs, caused by thoughts of parting and over-feasting respectively, she may have been mistaken in her inventory, but such as she thinks she has she gives you, praying that you may not believe that it is only because she can not keep her goods that she is generous. THE VVILL. Wfe, the Senior Class of the High School of the City of Dover, County of Kent, State of Delaware, being about to leave this sphere, in full possession of a sound mind, memory and understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. And, first, we do direct that our funeral services shall be con- ducted by our friends and well-wishers, the faculty only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp our situation in the school scale has merited. As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong arms to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows, viz.: Item: VVe give and bequeath to the lloard of Education restful nights and peaceful dreams. XVe promise them a rest from the HIQISU wishes. Class Fifteen has always been modest and retiring in dealing with school airs. Item: We give and bequeath to the school as a whole our songs. These songs to become the possession of the school on condition that she holds them in trust as a nucleus, to which, each year, shall be added others, until we have a collection to be proud of. May Alma Mater be the theme of far better songs in the future. Item: VVe give and bequeath to our best beloved and cherished sister, The Class of Sixteen, all the wealth of love and blessings she may want. She seems to be unable to obtain such things unaided. So we liberally give them the honor of Presidency and Secretary of Athenian Literary Society. May our mantle fall completely on her shoulders. Item: VVe give to the junior Class the following advice, accept- ing which will lead them to glory: copy The Class of Sixteenng learnf to work, if not to wing development comes sooner through bearing failures than successes. It isn't fun, but still look at Sixteen and be encouraged. Item: The subjoined list will be recognized as entailed estates, to which we do declare the Class '16 the real and rightful successors. 1 6 TH E LOTUS First-The Senior seats in the classroom. May they be as fond of them as we have been this year. Let every member show his grati- tude for the gift by being promptly in his seat each morning. Second-The LoTUs is in a very unusual financial condition. The work, the worry, and the glory are now in other hands. Perhaps the most valuable of all this list will be found to be the Senicr Dramatics. Nineteen Fifteen has enjoyed the excitement of tits and jigs from two of our members. How the list lengthens. Next comes Senior privileges-with Miss Lodges permission-too well understood to be detailed. ' Seziicr dignity is always handed over to the new-made lords of the schocl world. Vfe are afraid that this will be a strain upon the nerves and muscles of the gay and debonair Middlers, but all hope they will rise to the occasion, as they sometimes can. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our suc- cessors we must give our course in Senior Geometry: and let me say that geometry is a study where you learn that lots of things that you once knew are not so. If Class Sixteen gains the profit and the inspirations we have found in the little classroom with Professor Craw- ford, this will be their most precious possession, as it has been ours, as it is the one we are most loath to leave. Beside these enforced gifts, we leave not of necessity, but of our own free will, our blessing and a pledge of friendship from henceforth. All the rest and residue of our property, whatsoever of what nature, kind and quality soever it may be, and not hereinbefore dis- posed of fafter paying our debts and funeral expensesl, we give and bequeath to the faculty for its use and benefit absolutely. If they see tit, they may use the knowledge and startling information we have given them at whatsoever times we may have written quizzes and ex- aminations, in the education of our younger fellow students. This latter matter is, however, entirely at their discretion. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said faculty sole executors of this our last will and testament. In Witness Whereof, we, the Class of Nineteen-Fifteen, the tes- tators, have to this our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hand and seal, this fourteenth day of -Tune, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and fifteen. Ivy M. Hudson and Margaret H. Parvis. Stockings, said the clerk, yes, ma'am, what number do you wear ? What number? snapped Venus, why, two of course: what do you think I am, a centipede P -Er. DovER HIGH sCHooL I7 HONESTY-BEST POLICY. No, sir: I can't do it. I never have taken a dirty case since I have been practicing law, and I don't intend to begin now. But I tell you it means a cool thousand if you win, and I'll pay you hve hundred anyway. You'll never make a cent easier than you'll make this. UNO, sir: once and for all I tell you I can not, and I will not, plead a case that I know, even if I win, even if I can convince a jury in my favor, is as low and dirty as a case can be. VJell, then, good-dayg some time you will regret this. Good-day, sir. The speakers were Mr. George Burton and .lack Harmon, a very promising young lawyer. Mr. Burton had called on jack to take a case, which, after a very little investigation, ,lack found to be abso- lutely unfair to the other fellow. .lack also knew that Mr. Burton stood a good chance of winning the case because it was wealth against comparative poverty. Wheii Mr. Burton had left the office Jack began to consider his decision. He knew that this was a big case, and if won would mean a great deal to a young lawyer like himself. And surely he would win-everything was in his favor. He thought of Ethel Messick, the girl whom he had met while studying law in New York City. These thoughts almost made him change his decision, for with the fame that this case would bring would come, of course, better salary, and with a better salary he could ask Ethel to become his wifeg but he could not ask her to abondon her life of luxury for such an humble life as fortune compelled him to lead. No, he said, rising and pacing the door, I never have taken a dirty case, and I never will. I will not stoop so low as to sell my honor. Ethel shall marry a 'man' if she marries me. Mr. Burton had left Jacks office very angry, but not too much so to recognize the fact that he was playing the part of a scoundrel, and his conscience pricked him not a little. As he was riding on toward his home he began to wish he had never begun the case, but now that he had he could not possibly turn back. His respect for the young lawyer rose higher and higher, and when he remembered having told ,lack that the case, if won, would mean a thousand dollars, he began to wonder that the young lawyer had been able to refuse it, for, wealthy though he was, he himself would do almost anything for money. He decided to appease his conscience, if possible, by helping the young lawyer in some way. So when, a week later, -lack received a letter from the firm of Hall 81 Reed, in New York City, asking him if he desired a position, I8 THE LOTUS, and telling him to call within a week, he did not in the least suspect that Mr. Burton had been his benefactor. 'lf 21 Dlf PEI is Pls lYelcome back to New York, my boy, we are certainly proud of you and glad you belong to us, called out Mr. Hall's cheery voice, as ,lack entered the office one day about three years later, on his return from a XYestern city, where he had been conducting a big case, which he had won chiefly on his own merits. Thank you, sir: the welcome you give me is worth more to me than all the other praise I have gained.

Later, in the midst of a conversation between the two young men, a step was heard on the stair and as a young girl stood in the doorway, Harry arose, saying: Come in, Cousin. Miss Messick, this is Mr. Har- mon, who is soon to be the junior partner in the firm of Hall iv Reed. At the double exclamation of Ethel-Jack, Harry exclaimed, W'hy -where-when did you two people ever meet?

Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper, the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper under the sleeper, until the sleeper which carries the sleeper, jum-ps the sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper under the sleeper on the sleeper, and there is no longer any sleep for the sleeper, sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper. -EI.

A clergyman was called out of town one Saturday on a very urgent call. He asked his friend, Rev. Jones, to preach in his absence. Rev. jones had a poor memory, so he had to employ a man to get under his pulpit and prompt him. It came time for his sermon and the man under the pulpit began, softly: Brethren, my text this morning is Moses. Up above- Brethren, my text this morning is Moses. The man beneath- Moses was an austere man, who made atone-V ment for the sins of his people. The man above-- Moses was an oyster man, who made ointment for the shins of his people. The man below-- Now you've gone to work and spoiled it all. The man above- And, brethren, the man went to work and spilled it all. -Ex. ' f-1.2! ffgwlc.. e aw-fraa as. - QNFNXNWS . lIS1l' ' 1 ' ' E .

The Thirteen Colonies were helpless against England until bound together by the Declaration of Independence, then, in the Revolution, they threw off the yoke of oppression forever. As in great countries, so in schools- unity spells progress. This issue also closes the sixth year in the career of the Lorcs, and in this time, through the diligent efforts of each board of editors, our little paper has improved, step by step, while, in most cases, the majority of the student body stood quietly by and looked on. Unity between the LOTUS staff and the student body has been wanting for several years, so next year let us get together and supply this want. Team work is what counts on all successful athletic teams, and team work is what counts in publishing a successful high school paper. Next year, let us have team work, and make it a banner year in the career of the LOTUS. In laying down our work for the present year, the staff extends DOVER HIGH SFHOOL 21 1. to the new board of editors its most hearty wishes for all success during the coming year. From all prospects the LoTL's will be clear of debt and the slate wiped clean for a fresh start in September. In closing, the Editor wishes to extend his most hearty apprecia- tion to the members of the stat? for their faithful co-operation in pub- lishing eight issues of the Lo'1'L's during the past school year of IQI4-15. FINALE VVell, it is all over! That annual High School show, known this year as Under Four Flags. And it was a howling success. To Miss Mabel Tebo, Miss Lodge and Miss Moore, we owe our most sincere appreciation for their diligent work. Miss Tebo, the au- thor of the sketch and trainer of the choruses, rendered her services as an alumnus of D. H. S., free of charge. Miss Lodge and Miss Moore faithfully attended all practices, and their services were indis- pensable. VVe also wish to extend our thanks to Miss Frances DeWitt and Messrs. Wim. Clark, Maurice NVyatt and XVm. McBride, all of whom so willingly gave their excellent talent for our benefit. As a result of our hard work, in preparation for this musical com- edy, we cleared the neat sum of one hundred and forty dollars. With this we will be able to pay most of our debt incurred during the past year. Last year the 'fFunny Moonl' earned us a reputation, and such a successful production as Under Four Flags established this reputation in such a way that all succeeding entertainments given by Dover High must be of excellent caliber.

Under Four Flags, a musical comedy, written by Miss Mabel Tebo, a former graduate of Dover High, was given by the pupils of Dover High School, under the able direction of the author, Miss Maud Lodge and Miss B. Elizabeth Moore, which proved a great success. Miss Helen Bancroft, who has been seriously ill with typhoid fever, xisited the school recently. The pupils and teachers were all very glad to see her and hope that she may continue to improve. Miss Mae Darling has been very ill with the mumps. Doctor Carroll visited the school a few mornings ago and gave us a delightful talk on Nursery Rhymes. VVe were very much pleased to have Dr. Vaughn, of Delaware College. with us a short time ago, who gave us a most interesting talk on The Real George XVashington. Miss Moore, Miss Lodge and Miss Dashiell were among those who attended the Track Meet at Delaware College. Miss Dashiell recently spent the week end at her home in Princess Anne, Md. The Seniors are at present very busy preparing for their Com- mencement festivities. The Baccalaureate Sermon will be preached by Rev. Gumby, at NVesley M. E. Church, on June 13th. The Class Day exercises are to be held in the Assembly Room of the High School, on Monday afternoon, june 14th, and the final exercise in Dover Opera House, VVednesday evening, june 16th. The public is cordially invited to attend all exercises. Miss Grace Rupert. of Georgetown, was a recent visitor at D. H. S. Dover High School had its annual Lotus Contest Picnic, Satur- day, May Ist., at Richardson's Park. Everyone had a line time. Most of the afternoon was spent in boating and eating. DOVER HIGH SCHOOL 23 The Lo'1'L's staff had its annual meeting the last of May, and elected the new staff for the coming term of '15-'16. Mr, Talbot Raughley met with a slight accident while at the picnic, Saturday, May Ist. just as he stepped into a canoe, the canoe over- turned and gave Talbot quite a ducking: but it was only a short time before Talbot returned from home ready to give up the ducking idea and partake of the refreshments. , gil 'M iz: A in 'J?9 9 T1fi M-Wi I ' 'P' T 'Z 5 if .W 4 1?

An Irishman wanted an empty bottle in which to mix a solution, and went to a druggist to buy one. Selecting one that answered his purpose, he asked how much it was. Well, said the clerk, if you want the empty bottle, it will be one cent, but if you want anything in it we don't charge anything for it.

Dover High opened the baseball season on April oth with an over- whelming victory over Georgetown High School. In the first half of the opening inning it looked as though it were going to be all Georgetown, when they bunched their hits and scored four runs. But D. H. S. also limbered up the bats in the latter half of the same inning and pushed three runs across. Though the down-State boys secured nearly as many hits as D. H. S., they were unable to bunch them after the first inning, and thus lost many chances to score. ln the hfth, Quillen punched a liner over the left held fence for the first homer of the season.

Un April I7lll, Georgetown turned the tables on their home grounds when they defeated Dover High 4-3. This game was a much better exhibition of baseball than the one played in Dover the week before. Pyott pitched air-tight ball, allow- ing only one scratch hitg but the poor support of his team-miates in the fourth gave Georgetown three runs. Shane held Dover High scoreless until the seventh, when Hatfield allowed Pyott's fast grounder to escape. This error for a time put the H. S. inheld on the bum and during the inning Dover High romped across with three tallies. Score: G. H. S. R. H. O. A. E. D. H. S. R. H. 0. A. E. Hurley, ss. .... . 2 0 o I o J.

This team played excellent ball, but were unable to connect with Pyott's twisters, while D. H. S. got next to Kitchen for eleven hits. The only important feature of the game was Quillens lomer in the eighth, scoring ul. Lord ahead of him. This made two homers for Quillen out of three games.

At Smyrna, on April 30th, Dover High lost the second game of the season, with the score standing 6-2. In the opening frame-up, D. H. S. scored two runs, when Pyott singled, and from all appearances the game was to be easy. But the Smyrna boys were also on the jump in their half and scored a counter after two men had been retired. From the first to the eighth the score stood unchanged, due to the safe pitching of Porter for Smyrna and the faultless fielding of D. H. S. ln the eighth, Smyrna had placed two hits and scored one run, when Pyott was replaced by Ennis. But Bull did not toss in old- time form and the S. H. S. boys found him easy. Before the last man was finally retired Smyrna scored tive runs and easily turned defeat into victory. Score: D. H. S. R. H. O. A. E. S. H. S. R. H. O A E G. Rust, lf. Hoffecker, rf. I 0 Muncy, 2b.

On the following VVednesday, the Dover High boys avenged them- selves, when they met the Smyrna nine in Dover, and walloped them, Io-8. The first two innings were of little event, but in the third the H. S. boys rallied at the bat and scored live runs. In the fourth the Dover High boys enjoyed a great game of hunt and run, and so com,- pletely upset Smyrnas inheld that six runs passed the plate before the last man was landed. The pitching of both Pyott and Hoffecker was of excellent style, the former having ten strike-outs and the latter nine. Score: D. H. S. R. H. 0. A.E. S. H. S. R. H. 0. A. E. J.

H. s., 7. In a game where everybody got a chance to hit and run, D. H. S. defeated Newark High, 8-7. From start to finish this game kept the spectators guessing, for it was impossible to tell which team had the best of it. The score was tied three tinies, and three times Dover High forged ahead. The pros- pects were darkest in the first half of the eighth, when the score stood f-5 in favor of Newark. But in the latter half the College-town boys became careless and allowed two runs to slip across while they stood and looked on. In the ninth the N. H. S. nine came to bat ready to pelt the ball all over the lot, but were unable to find Muncys teasers. In the closing section of the same inning, D. H. S. came to bat de- termined to tear the cover off of the old pill. The first man up was G. Rust, who luckily received one of Ewing's southpaw deliveries in his ribs. This put our fastest base runner on the initial sack. He easily stole second while Jones delivered a strike out. Now Ewing was in a deep hole, for he had a fast man to watch on second and DOVER HIGH scnooi. 27 a dangerous batter facing him. There was nothing for hiin to do but pitch, and this he did, but to no avail, for Lordy connected with the second one for a double and scored Rust with the winning tally. In the sixth inning, Muncy replaced Pyott, and pitched superb ball ior the balance of the contest. He deserves great credit for his splcndicl work. Score: D. H. S. R. H. O. A.E. N. H. S. R. H. O.
