You save a little money every month, do you not? You certainly should. Every self-made man that has become even moderately successful will tell you that saving a part of one's income in early life is absolutely essential to the accumulation of money. The ultimate object of saving is investment. But what form should the invest- ment take F Naturally the proposition that is safest and promises the best returns. What form of investment pays greater dividends than investment in education? lull Thousands of our students are earning salaries of 25200 a month that could not have earned S100 without our training. That's one hundred per cent. A savings bank account pays you three to four per cent. Which is the better investment ? qi Suppose a Course does cost you 2560, 880, or 23100. If it enables you to earn a hundred dollars a month more than you could earn without the training, donit you see that it would take less than a month FOR THE INCREASE IN EARNINGS ALONE to pay for the entire Course P You cannot consistently claim that you cannot aFFord to make an investment like that. You can't afford not to make it. Put your savings into it. Make it your principal investment. It means making a success of your life. Without it what hope have you of ever getting into a high-salaried position? Think it over. Let us help you. You know opportunity knocks but once at a manls door. This is YOUR opportunity. Do not close the door in her face. The International Correspondence Schools SCRANTON, PA., will come to you in your spare time and give you the education that pays. JAS. L.

II EAST LIVERPOOL, OHIO, MAY 1911 NO. 6 Looking Backward through my bollege work that gym feeling unable to take up my pro- fession, I decided to teach school. The last days of school had been hard ones owing to poor health, so when I was offered the position of teacher in the small village of B- in the mountainous region of northern Tennessee, I decided to ac- cept. A week before the opening of school I had traveled by train to a city some 15 miles from B-, hence the rest of the distance had to be traveled by foot or on an occasional wagon which passed along, for there was no other connection with the village. The evening before the opening of school I stood on the outskirts of the village for the first time. It was a very pretty little village, nestling among the mountains, which were covered with great forests, with here and there an open place where cattle were grazing. In the foreground was a small mountain stream, flowing be- tween green pasture lands while here and there were the small homes of the inhab- itants. Only a few houses were in the midst of the village, while many more were within a distance of a few miles. Not being expected and a stranger in town I attracted a great amount of atten- tion asl walked for the first time down the only street of B-. Coming finally to an old building on which was the sign Post Office, I went in. WAS the year after I was - ' Behind a counter I saw a jovial-faced, kindly man and to him Imade my errand known. Mr. Smithton was very kind, and as it was almost supper time, took me to his home. There I met a gentle, motherly woman, who had prepared a good meal. As we sat down at the table several chil- dren came in and also took their places. There was a young man of about 18 yearsg a smaller boy and two girls. This was a very happy family and seemed to enjoy each others company. I was asked to re- main all night, for I was told that this home was the nearest to the school house. In the morning I was told that the family would be pleased to have me make their home my own during the school term and I was very glad to accept their kind offer. A short while before the school hour I went to the school house. What feelings swept over me as for the first time I saw that old school house. It stood on the edge of a small woods, and on the right was a high hill. In front of the school house was a small field in which were a great many varieties of wild flowers. Turning the key in the lock and opening the door I entered the school house. It was not unlike any old country school house, there stood the teacher's desk, the books ar- ranged in a row on a shelf nearby, here were the desks, marked by the boys and girls of other years. Examining them I found many initials cut upon them, while here and there an occassional piece of 14 lieramnn gum was sticking to a seat. The walls had a few pictures upon them, but more marks, scratches and figures of men and women Cperhaps teachers who had pre- ceded mel in grotesque forms. The hour for school had arrived and with beating heart I rang the large bell which hung in the red belfry. Soon the children began to enter and by the time school opened about sixty had come. There were tall boys and girls of perhaps 19 years, down to little chaps of 4 or 5 years. After the opening exercises I be- gan to take their names. I wondered if I would ever have any difficulty with those older ones, who were much taller than I, but Idid not begin to cross my bridges until I came to them. I found that most of the older ones had come for the pur- pose of learning what they could, for they never were able to remain in the school all the spring season because of the farm work. These people were very industrious and before many days I discovered that many of the older boys and girls knew thoroughly the last year's work, which was lessons from ninth grade work, but were willing to still go, if perhaps they might learn something new. The weeks passed by happily for teacher and scholars without many storm clouds. Now and then a smaller boy or girl would become mischievous and would have to be reproved, but on the whole they were very good children. What a contrast, teaching the a b c's to the little children and teach- ing the A B Cis of life to the older ones, for we taught and learned more than that which was in the text books. We learned valuable lessons from Nature, from human nature and from the Book of God. When the lessons of the day were over we would Stay a short time talking about some flower, or bird, or method of construction of a bird's nest and many other things. Sometimes I found myself listening to an interesting discussion of some object of Nature, while he who was speaking could not give a fair recitation in Arithmetic. Thus the lessons of life were learned. Then there were the amusing incidents which happened. One evening the boys climbed to the roof of the school house and poured a large amount of black pepper down the chimney. When the fire was made in the morning a very offensive odor arose, but as the janitor and I were the only persons there, nothing serious happened. Not unfrequently a dog or cat would come to school with the boys and girls, and if they knew how to be good were generally allowed to remain. One day a small lamb followed Mary to school, but had to play on the campus until schoal was out. Sometimes the boys would bring an owl to the school and hide it in their desk. Suddenly a cry would be heard and a shout would go through the school room and a hunt would be started. Finally the owl would be found and the offender punished. Sometimes I would catch some of the boys nibbling at an apple or some other kind of fruit. One day during the recita- tion period for a small class of children, a little girl hurried from class and going to her lunch basket, took a piece of bread and ate it before the entire school. Who could be severe? I was not, but asked that it might not be repeated. One day we were all very much surprised to see the skeleton of the head of an ox rising slowly in front of a prominent window of the school. Some of the younger children were frightened and began to cry. Con- soling them and discovering the source of the trouble was but the work of a moment, for I noticed a string being drawn along on the floor by one of the larger boys. This string was attached to the head and Km-amnn 15 as the window was open was very easily raised up and let down again. There is an attic to the school house and one after- noon we heard a peculiar sound proceed- ing from some where above, but especially loud near the stovepipe. Instantly several cried out, ghost, ghost Those who have had anything to do with children, who have been frightened by being told ghost stories will appreciate the position I was in, for it is very hard to quiet chil- dren frightened that way. The sounds seemed to become louder and finally in order to solve the difliculty a recess was taken, and I proceeded to explore the old attic. Nothing was found except a few old nests made by the poor school mice. Calling the children together, for the noise had ceased, we began again. Soon the noise was heard again and this time I removed the stove pipe. It was a small bird which had happened to get lost, while building a nest in the top of the chimney and having gotten beyond the flue could not get out again. But the school house was a sight, and I more so. A vacation was had for the rest of the day and several weeks later one of the boys, who had been so very mischievous, told me that he had put the bird in the stove just before school began. Fortu- natelyl did not know the guilty one, after I had put the stove pipe back. Autumn passed with its beautiful days and cool evenings. Sometimes a party would be held in the home of one of the scholars. The boys and gitls would gather early at the school house and go in a crowd to the house of the surprised one. The moon shining brightly, shedding its mellowest rays, the whip-poor-will calling in the distance, the owl on the top of some old dead tree, all linger in my memory. I see the children in their games, hear the music of some one's mouth organ as he played for the dancing or the music of the fiddle and banjo, for these children 'loved music. I would see some of the older boys and girls slip away from the noise of the party and in some secluded spot speak words to each other which brought blushes to their cheeks as they slipped back ina few minutes to look after the smaller children. At last the party broke up and all went home feeling that they had had a fine time. So Autumn slip- ped by and Winter came. Winter days marked a decrease in at- tendance but not in school lessons or in preparing for the country spelling bee, which was soon to be held. Great prep- arations were made for it, for all the people of the nearby villages would be present. The time came and passed. Highest honors were won by a very beautiful girl of our school. Of course we were all proud of the fact and determined never to be beaten by any other school in future years. The days were filled with snowball lights. many times were the fights of Bunker Hill re-enactedg then there were sleigh rides and sled rides down the nearby hill and skating on the creek near- by for all. Happy were those days for all of us, even the older people entered into the children's sports. But all things must pass, away so the days of cold winter went by and spring came bringing its flowers and-the days of parting for us all, for with them I might banish severity and be kind only, telling them of my bur- dens, my sorrows and my cares, knowing that I should always find sympathy where there was love. If lessons of love and trust were taught more by the teachers of today, children would appreciate more the lessons of knowledge. Some of the chil- dren were leaving school as early as April that they might workin the fields for their parents, while two of the older ones were 16 lfrramnz married. A very touching incident hap- pened in those days of spring, which took my mind back to the days of my early manhood. I noticed not unfrequently pretty blue-eyed Nellie, with her long curls, slipping out into the woods at the noon hour, or anytime before school began, with good, honest Jack. Often I would see them together, and always so happy. One day, three weeks before the close of school I missed Nellie from her accus- tomed place and upon inquiring at her home found that she was very ill of fever. I spent as much time as I could with her and her family until the end came, for when I first saw her lying upon her sick bed I knew she could not recover. Heart- broken Jack told me that they were to have united their lives together in a few more days had she lived, but God knew best and I consoled him as best I could, remembering my past. And now my story is ending and asl look backward over all these years, mem- ory must paint the last picture. The last day of school had passed yesterday and tonight a farewell meeting will be given the school teacher in the old school house, which was so dear to him. For the last time just as the moon was rising I rang the old bell. Quickly from hidden nooks the children and their parents assembled. I remember those faces yet and the kind- ness of their speeches as they bade me farewell. But some had said their fare- wells before. Soon they shall bid me welcome in the better land. My health had been restored and I could enter upon my calling in life and would return to them no more. I wonder when I shall see them all again, and I know some have said their last lessons of life and only the ring- ing of the bell of eternity shall call them to the greater lesson of the eternal tomor- row. And now my dream is only of the past, then it was of the future, but future did not bring me always what I had dreamed of and longed for but I learned as never before the lessons of kindness. Who knows what dream is brightest, And what is the best? For sorrow and joy are mingled, But only the end is rest. -CHARLES DURBIN, '11 .AFJFJJ When Betty Went to College CHAPTER IV ETTY sank weakly into a chair as Louise opened the door, Oh Lou- - H n - - lm: V le. lS6, she gasped, my oration IS gone. Are you sure ? asked Louise. I am certain I saw it last night in your drawer. It isn't there now, said Betty mechan- ically pulling the drawer open and tossing its contents about in utter disregard of order. I've looked through everything. Let's see. Louise energetically set to work and for the next half hour very little was said but much thinking was done. But what shall I do ? asked Betty when they had ended their fruitless search. Next week is vacation and there is only one week after that. Let me think said Louise slowly. Don't you remember most of it so that you could write it out again ? Yes, said Betty doubtfully, but when shall I learn it ? ilbrunwa 19 The johntub Adventure and how to enJoy them nothing OR THOSE who know its pleasures can surpass a clear easy going river forfgrecreation during the long hot days of summer. To find a huge, flat rock 10'x30', with from 15' to 20' of cool water on the upstream side is indeed discovering a swimmer's paradise. There in the hot afternoons of mid-summer, with alternately a swim and a bask in the sun, one can almost dream the dreams of the ancient Lotus Eaters or see the vis- ions of the opium fiend. The pleasure of the afternoon swim though is short lived. If you would get the real beneiicial pleas- ure of a swim, you must take it after the sun goes down, and let it be only a few good dives, with quick action while in the water. Come out promptly, dress quickly, and then you are ready for anythingg Jack Johnson, a six-foot running high, or to throw the hammer from the Stadium of Athensinto the creek beyond it. To him who does not swim there is always offered the pleasure of a quiet row in the cool evening, watching the shadows of the hills as they lengthen out, constantly be- coming denser and darker, and listening to the lonely chorus of the frogs along the shore while the evening gradually deepens into the night. Then suddenly the golden moon faintly lights the East and slowly mounts to her solitary station ever grow- ing smaller and exchanging her gold for silver till the dome of the heavens is reached, and the night resembles a blush- ing rose in all its beauty, fragrance and splendor. It was no wonder then that with all these allurements, and a boy's narural fondness for the water, we decided to buy our own boat and have the pleasure of 3. ,,. Y using it at any time, or at all times if we chose, on that best of streams, the Ohio. Ribbons and Jarve discovered it, and Peeks, Bass and myself agreeing to the bargain came around with the cash and the deal was closed. That was early last Spring. The boat, which we christened the Johntub for. want of a better name, was a sixteen footer with a flat bottom and straight sides. She was made of white pine, was very light and drew only M when empty, though she looked awkward, heavy and slow-going. We kept her the whole summer and always had a large stone, with a chain around it attached to the stern, so that when the water was not too swift we could anchor in a 10' or 15' depth of water for divers reasons. As Autumn drew near, however, it became more and more of a puzzle to us as to how we were going to get rid of our boat profitably, for we did not want to keep it over winter and neither did anyone else. This matter, however, was finally settled for us, to our loss, and the manner in which it was settled is my story. We had about decided to turn the boat loose, but we also decided that we must have a farewell swim in her. The river, swollen with the fall rains, was at a good boating stage, and boats, both packets and tows were going both ways, as many of the empty tows had been checked by the last rapid fall of the river, and were now rushing steam in order to reach Pittsburg and return to Cincinnati with a full load of coal before another fall of the river. The barges being empty lifted themselves a good six feet out of the water, which, with the force of a strong current, ran swiftly to meet them. - 1 It was necessary to take our swim after v Z0 Keramnn school, but we made it a good one, and being loathe to leave the water, stayed in till a late supper would fall to our behalf. It was a hard row up the river a half mile from our swimming hole and across to our usual tie up. Peaks and Ribbon sat in the bow, and Jarve and I in the stern while Bass rowed. He was pulling a strong oar now, stronger even than we feared the pair would stand, for they had been worn down during the summer, pretty thin, but the current was strong, and a towboat with sixteen empty barges, their front like a huge floating wall, had just rounded the bend and stronger pulling was necessary, for the towboat would hug the shore to which we were going, and we must pass in front of it. So the oars were strained harder and harder, Bass bending each time more and more to them till at last the race seemed certain to be ours, but another pull was fatal, for the right oar snapped, broke and went down to meet the tow, while Bass fell backward into the boat, loosing in his effort to retain his balance, the other oar, and the Johntub turned slowly about to a position in which her length was at right angles to that of the barges. Death now seemed to stare us in the face, because with barely more than sixty feet between us and the first barges we could not hope to swim beyond their range, in that swift river, and to meet the barges with the side of the Johntub would mean certain death, as our boat must surely turn turtle in and case it did none of us could travel under the tow and live, while to jump for the front of the barges and to pull ourselves up was little better, for the boat in its present position would go immediately under. Jarve, ever there with all his brains in emergencies, saved the lives of perhaps all of us. Grabbing our stone anchor with its 20' of chain he threw it overboard almost before the rest of us realized to its full extent the peril of our plight. What he was about dawned upon us in an instant, and we waited breathlessly to see if the rock would an- chor. It did, the 20' chain letting it to the bottom, and though it did not entirely stop the Johntub, it served the purpose intended, by bringing the bow of it around to meet the barges first instead of the side. This position was reached not a second too soon for in that time the barges and John- tub met, and the latter heldi, held just long enough to allow Peaks and Ribbons to draw themselves to the top of the barges, Bass to follow and the three to as- sist me up, and then began to turn slowly to the right. All of us were now reaching to Jarve and he was reaching for us, for the turning had caused him to loose his balance and he was gone as we thought, but while we were yet reaching out to him almost hopeless, he slightly recovered his balance and sprang. We all caught him, Bass by the hair, Peaks by one arm, I by the other and Ribbons by the coat collar. As we dragged him into the barge I glanced again at the old boat, which had filled with water and was going under. In another moment, and even as I looked, she sank, and we were rid of our Johntub. -C. S.

Our American people are only beginning to appreciate their short- comings, in not protecting and guarding the defenseless little ones from the vices and evils which surround them in their struggle for existence. Instead of attempt- ing to uplift and elevate the surroundings of our children, they have been permitted to grow up uneducated, stunted in mind and soul, It seems absurd to punish men for crimes which are but the outgrowth of their early environment, for which they can by no means be held responsible. Handicapped though they were, the child- ren were expected to become citizens, as worthy of citizenship as those reared in happy homes. But now the American people are awakening to the fact that they are a wasteful people, more profiigate of their children than any other posses- sion. A Child's Welfare Exhibit, held in New York, tells a story, not chiefly of wrong and wretchedness, but of a struggle to se- cure for all children a fair beginning in life's race. Before the entrance to the exhibit, a beautiful piece of statuary ably illustrates the condition of children in the larger cities. A group of four figures rep- resents a family. On the left is the aged grandfather, bent and exhausted beneath the incessant burden of life, which even yet he is struggling to bear upon his shoulders. On the right are the father and mother, supporting the heavier part of the same burden that is weighing down the grandfather: the husband endeavoring to make his wife's part lighter by raising his portion with his straining right arm. Underneath the tent formed by the huge burden is a frail little child, and, although he carries no weight, as yet, upon his tiny shoulders, he, too, is stooped and bent in an expectant attitude, waiting to receive the responsibility, the weight of which he is already beginning to feel. For him a part of this burden will be due to heredi- tary influences, part to natural weak- nesses, but a much larger portion will arise from his evil environment. Who would presume to say that the slum chil- dren of our great cities are not almost hopelessly handicapped, in comparison with children reared under healthy, happy surroundings ? No single remedy will suffice to relieve the suffering of the children: but none is more directly practical than the public playground. The plea for the public play- ground is a plea for justice to our boys and girls. Carlyle says that there is a grega- rious tendency in mankind, an innate desire to associate with his fellow beings. This tendency in childhood means play. The undeniable right of a child ir to child- hood and play. It is while still young and at the playtime that the child learns some of the greatest lessons of life. In the daily games, his mind is alert to grasp the pass- ing opportunity, his eye sharpened, his hand steadied, and strength is stored up for the cares of later life. Not only mental and physical but moral obligations are enforced, for there is always a code of honor established among playmatesg and here, too, the child first learns the great ZZ Ilivramnu lesson of team work, of concerted effort. That is no true home for the child where- there is no play and every means should be encouraged which aims to give an opportunity for the free expression of his natural spontaneity. Stevenson says: Happy hearts and happy faces, Happy play in grassy places, This is how in ancient ages Children grew to men and sagesf' Now picture to yourself the familiar groups of dirty children, playing in the dirtier streets. Only through the public playground can the little outcasts of humanity know the joy of happy play in grassy places. Should we begrudge them this imperfect substitute? One of the first means designed to relieve the distressing conditions incident to childhood, in the cities, was the Juve- nile Court. It would appear that including the courts among the agencies for the good of the child, would give the category an ironical and melancholy cast, for it would seem that this would be the last resort instead of one of the first. It has resulted in great good, however, in pun- ishing the real criminals, those who are responsible for the wrong doing of the helpless little ones. The serious aim of the Juvenile Court is to guide these small offenders rather than to punish them for their trivial offenses. It was through the instrumentality of the Juvenile Court that a new offense was tabulated in Colorado, that of contributing to the delinquency of children. But as Judge Lindsey, the founder and greatest advocate of the Juve- nile Court, says: We shall make progress just in proportion as we appreciate the absurdity of limiting our remedies to the court, the hangman, and the jailer. A few years ago a wave of public sen- timent swept our country, condemning child labor. This outbreak finally crys- talized into several laws, laying some restraint upon the employment of chil- dren. The warfare of their enforcement has become one of the multitude of tasks for the social reformer. The child labor crusade is a vital thing-for child labor can do the Republic immeasurable harm. It is not the exclusive duty' of individ- uals, nor of committees to take up this matter of protecting and conserving outr' children, it is the duty and privilegeof the State. The State, in caring for its children, cares for its future self and it is only true to itself in so far as it is true to its children. For the child is not only the trustee of the past and the hope of the future, but it is the living present, entitled to every protection and security which man grants to man, and as much more than man grants to man as is required by the defenselessness of the child. In natural resources we are a wealthy nation. We are only beginning to realize the latent possibilities in our wide tracts of land, in our mountains, forests, lakes, and in the climate that stimulates us to make the most of our national endow- ments. On every hand we hear much of conserving our natural resourcesg agri- cultural colleges are telling us how to make our lands more fruitful, all states are conserving their wild animals, and wide tracts of forest region are being reserved as public property. The out- come of such conservation seems hopeful. But resources alone can never provide the ballast necessary for the equipoise of a nation. The vital forces in a nation are human, not material. In the economics of nation-building, the greatest concern centers about boys and girls. The Repub- lic has much to expect from its children and ro should they be conserved as our most precious possession, which shall, in the coming years, render the richest returns to the state. This is the children's hour -between dawn and daylight-the dark- ness of the children's wrongs, which is passing, and the daylight of fairness and justice that is dawning.

Paul-Oh, that reminds me, one of the girls had a dandy white dress on at our last banquet at College. It looked as though it was just filled with little holes, and I still remember how it was made. Polly-Oh, tell me quickly. Paul---I can't just tell you, but I think I can draw a pretty fair example of it. You see the waist was fixed something like this and the skirt comes up like this and the belt was fastened this way. How do you like it?

One might have said she was a statue, so lifeless did miiiw she seem, with her eyes fixed on the glow- ing sunset, her lips parted in a half smile. Presently the smile faded, the girl sank down on the steps as a gruff voice behind her remarked, though not unkindly, Paola, will you never cease to watch the Mission? 4'Not the Mission, Father, it is not that I see, it is the beauty in the sunset. Child, child, no beauty is there. See that black cloud rising to the Northward? That betokens a storm. Very well, Father, answered the Spanish maiden, only I do hope your prediction won't prove true. The priest moved on, and the maiden turned slowly homeward. Somehow, the priest's mention of the lit- tle Mission in the valley lingered in her memory. Her gaze wandered again to the single little church, al- most hidden in the surrounding trees. She stopped suddenly, a thought fiashing through her mind, and then hastened on with quickened steps. , Felix, Felixf' she cried, as she reached the quaint little cottage under the palms, where a typical Spanish youth sat painting. Before him on the canvas was the outline of the great Cathedral, which already be- tokened how unsuccessful the finished production would be. The youth wearily arose as the girl approached and gazed at the flushed face and bright eyes. What is it, Paola? Has my little sister found a gold mine, or made an important discovery 'Z Both, she answered, smoothing away the jet- black hair from his sun-browned temples. Where can it be 'I' he asked quizzically. I was not aware Maximilian's gold was so easily found. See, you have not been gone long, the Cadhedral has pro- gressed slowly. Felix, take away that canvas with its old Cathe- dral, it looks so cold and de erted, and I will show you a picture worth painting. Come, she said coaxingly, as he looked at her incredulously. Where can one find a view here worth painting 'Z he exclaimed bitterly. The Cathedral is the only stately building in our country. Paola led the way triumphantly, Felix following slowly. Hurry, Felix, she cried, or it will vanish. You know your old Cathedral has always been a fail- ure, you've tried it so many times now, and you know what the great artist, Milbean, said the last time you submitted your painting. Don't I know ? he said bitterly. It was, 'you are not working in your sphere, your work is stiff and un- naturalf Then, why do you always turn again to the Cathe- dral '? she asked. You know he said you had talent, and would find in your chosen work the sphere which is best suited to your talents. What else is there here? I've made a failure of everything I've tried, but I can't give up, Paola. I know I'll win yet, I feel it. My soul longs after this work, after a nobler model than this desolate Cathe- dral, but my hands refuse that longing. Paola, csn't you understand how I am longing, longing after a noble, wonderful picture? My soul soars higher than I may ever hope to reach, for I cannot find the picture which is my ideal. Paola soon reached the Cathedral steps and mount- ing called to Felix, who had been walking slowly with bent head. Come up here Felix, the view is splendid, and long ago you promised to paint me a picture I could cher- ish as my very own. I want this beautiful sunset, Felix. I love the sunset, and I'm sure I won't bother you about your Cathedral any more, if you will only paint me this. He went about the work dejectedly, gradually his countenance brightened as he saw how easily the col- ors portrayed the real sunset, and the little Chapel, half hidden among the palms. The scene soon appealed to his fancy, for the glowing sunset was superb. The green palms waved over the little Chapel, and the soft, reflected colors of the sun changed all to a dull splendor, outlined against the brightened sky of chang- ing tints. It was a wonderful picture and difficult of portrayal, and the young artist was surprised at the ease with which the colors lent themselves to the exact reproduction of the scene. A few days later Felix carried the finished painting to his sister's room, and together they criticized its faults and virtues. Not long after this, Paola, unknown to Felix, car- ried the picture to Milbesn. The master critic sur- veyed it thoughtfully, and praised it highly. Paola refused his generous offer, and would not sell the pic- ture, but told how Felix had come to paint it. The unbending, stately Cathedral is not in his sphere, he said finally, and he will no longer need to paint it. He is now an artist of note and through his sister's fore- sight has found where his talent lie . And Paola left joyfully to carry the glad news to Felix. 1 G. D.

Several weeks ago the High School was favored by the excellent singing given by the Girls' Glee Club of the Eighth grade, Deidrick Building. Several boys of the High School aided in soliciting money for the new Y. M. C. A., and won second place in the young men's contributions with about 82600.00 to their credit. The Senior Class is proud of its boys who won first place in the inter-class con- test, and merited the cup presented by Mr. Larkins. A party from Youngstown and East Liverpool will take a trip through Europe, chaperoned by Miss Stewart, a teacher in the local High School. Thirteen girls of the Senior Class suc- cessfully passed the teachers' examina- tions, and will be engaged as substitutes in the local schools next September. Misses Grant and Hallock, two High School teachers, and Misses Laura Moore, Florence Watson and Alma Taylor will attend summer school at Columbia College. By the decree of the Board of Educa- tion, caps and gowns were adopted for Commencement, and the Juniors' recep- tion to the Seniors was abolished. On Sunday evening, May 21st, the Bac- calaureate Sermon will be preached by Dr. McMillin, of the First Presbyterian Church. The Seniors will make their first appearance in the caps and gowns. Irene Firth, of the Junior Class, has re- sumed her studies after a severe illness. After a lengthy illness, Jay Garvin of the Senior Class, has returned to school. On account of his high average Mr. Gar- vin will not have to take any of his tests. Miss Hallock was recently called to her home in Schenectady, owing to the illness of her mother. The County Field Meet as usual went to the Lisbon Team. The score stood: Lis- bon, 643 East Palestine, 383 Wellsville, 21, and East Liverpool 12. Welch, of Lisbon, had the most points and Floto, of Wells- ville, followed. Sinclair, of the locals, got eight points, the most secured by any one on our team. Atchinson and Fitch star- red for East Palistine in the jumps and the sprints. No records were broken. lirramna 35 Don't forget the Ohio Valley Field Meet on the 27th. If you want to see some good Athletes be sure to come. There will be some ninety scholars represented by ten-men teams. Admission 25c. G1 and Stand 40c. Owing to the bad weather the greater part of the Arbor Day program was given in the High School building. Interesting talks indicative of Arbor Day were given by Misses Hobbs and Dickey and Messrs. Anderson and Wallover, of the Senior Class. At dismissal an ivy was planted by the class of 1911. 8998.8 The Annual High School Oratorical Contest was held in the Ceramic Theatre on Thlusday, April 20th. Each class was represented by two members, who had been chosen by the judges at the inter- class contests, and too much praise cannot be given to them, both for their excellent productions and the manner in which they were delivered. Class spirit was shown in the beautiful emblems and electric signs, which decorated the stage, and class enthusiasm rose to its highest pitch be- fore, and especially after the judges' de- cisions when it was announced that Alice Bloor, of the Senior Class, and William Ryan, of the Sophomore Class won first and second places respectively in oratory, while Rita Fraley, of the Sophomore Class, and Alene Parry, Freshman, won first and second places in declamation.

But soon a small sunbeam steals through and is now followed by a thousand of others. Then, as though a most vivid dream had burst upon us, we see the roll- ing plains three thousand feet below. Amidst these emerald fields there winds in and out in the mountainous valley Lake Lucerne. Here it broadens out ir1to a wide expanse and now narrows into a small neck of water as it passes through the gate of the mountain ridge. Gliding as smoothly as the birds in the air comes the steam yacht proudly plowing its nose through the peaceful waters only to trans- form the water into sparkling diamonds. Rising abruptly on the far side is the old weather prophet Mt. Pilatus towering into the sky and its head is surrounded with a halo of mist foretelling the coming rain. But from where is that cold breeze com- ing? We turn around, and there on the mountain ridge opposite us with a valley intervening is one solid bank of snow glittering in the sunlight. By merely turning we have changed the scene from the green fields of spring with its balmy air to a scene of the cold winter with its freezing breath. What a jagged snow bank. It appears as though the sea, in a terrible storm, was frozen into snow. We are snow bound from the East and ir1 the West thrusting its peak high in the air a mountain of red stone as though afire keeps watch over the splendid land- scape. A. C. P., '10 J J!

FIRST:-Our will is that all our just debts and funeral expenses be paid out of our Estate, as soon after our departure as may be found convenient. SECOND:-We, the class of 1911, being of sound mind, the most of us, do hereby be- queath to the class of 1912 the following chattels, namely: The prestige and dignity which has characterized the class of 1911 thru its entire course, the sceptered sway which we, as Sen- iors, have exercised so admirably. We also admonish the members of the class of 1912 that they dutifully guard and protect the incoming Freshman class from the trials and tribulations inflicted upon them by the pompous and overbearing Sophomores. To the class of 1913, so soon to enjoy the mysteries of juniordom, we hereby advise them that they emulate the virtues practiced by the class of 1911, and that they beware lest they fol- low in the footsteps of their immediate predecessors, for a haughty spirit goeth before a fall. To the class of 191-1 we bequeath our success in oratory and we admonish them that they cultivate and preserve to its fullest extent the wee small voice of one james Vodrey, who bids fair to be the champion inspirator and director of all howling orchestras. We also advise the said class to rigidly guard the disposition of one VVilmer Crook, the honorable President and high school Sousa , lest his head be turned or he stumble by the way. To the Athletic Association of 1912, '131 and '1-1 we extend our most tender sympathies, well knowing that they can never replace the loss of the matchless Sinclair, irreplaceable Kapp and our champion VVollam. To the faculty of E. 1.. H. S. we return all adverse criticism administered religiously in the righteous cause of justice and we request that they distribute it wisely and impartially among the classes of 1912, 1913 and 1914. A And lastly we hereby bequeath to all future Seniors the mystic robes, commonly known as caps and gowns, hoping that they will appreciate not only our kindness and generosity but also the honor of Wearing OUR old clothes. We hereby revoke all other Wills by us heretofore made. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, We hereunto subscribe our name at East Liverpool, Ohio, this 16th day of May in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Eleven. CLASS OF 1911 The foregoing instrument was signed at the end thereof, by the said Class of 1911 in our presence and we heard them acknowledge the same as their Last VVill and Testament, and in their presence, we hereunto respectively subscribe our names as attesting witnesses, at East Liverpool this ltith day of May, A.
