Hunter S I sat musing this morning, lost in calm retrospection, my thoughts wandered back into the strong, unrelenting past, a distance that it has taken the largest part of four years to coverg four years that shall never be forgotten. lt was on a warm, balmy Monday morning in the early part of Septem- ber 1914, that the first stone in this theme was laid. The voice that was speaking out of the past was not altogether an inhuman voice. In fact it seemed quite real and commonplaceg yet in its tone there was trace of the hum and clat- ter of the swift business and commercial arena in which the first years of the twentitth cen- LLI ry have been speeding on as we trust and hope to a lasting prosperity. lt was a voice that had drunk both the bitter and sweet from the cup of life as all we mortals do. Thus our friend in the background swiftly spoke of our Freshman year in Greenville High School. There were forty-three ef us in the first year class, each showing to a marked degree that he was the proud possesser of the fresh qualities of a young green plant. We were capable of growing into a more mature vine. but sadly in need of cultivation if we rxpected to reach maturity without withering under the scorching rays of the sun in our present green condition. Some few had reached the stage of development where it was necessary to use the assitance of a refrigerator to preserve their freshness. There was Mayard of Keysport, whom the boys called Sol but he was known among the girls as Cutie. lt was not uncommon to find him in the wrong class-room, and when he ambled across the Hoor one was little re- minded that a lawyer walked in his midst. But now you should see him as he sits like a dignified judge and proudly counts the gray hairs so common to those who follow the pro- fession of the bar. Again there was Blacet who twirled his hat on his finger as he nervously shifted from one foot to the other, and yet he could not tell you on which he felt the worse. But now you would scarcely recognize him as he consults his page of dates to see if it be Toney, Laura, Ruby or Lucella on whom he is to mak: his evening call. Thus we passed our first stage of evolu- tion, and as time flew swiftly by we fortye three Freshmen began to take things a little more seiiously so that by the end of school when we went to Hudson Park at Mu'berry Grove for our annual picnic there were none of us who so much resembled an emerald in color that it cou'd not either be entirely washed an ay by splashing about in the cool waters of the lake, or as was true in the girls' case, to haxc it supplanted by a hardy brown and more mature look which providence was so kind as to bestow upon them in its mystical way of reflecting upward the scorching rays of the sun from the water's surface. And now, as the tirstcycle of the chat with this Voice out of the past was almiost completed, its flow of speech seemed to be re- versed, for it went back a space of several weeks when every pupil together with the faculty, marched in a body from the old school building to the site of the New High School, where each took his turn in removing a spade of terra flrma from the excavation where the foundation of the new building was to be laid. The spade which we used for this pu1'pose is now brightly polished and is kept enclosed in an oaken case with a glass front. This spade was presented to the school by Mr. Yelvington, the contractor, and is one of the first trophies which stands out as an ear mark in the history of the Grecnvville High School. Having thus recalled our first year in High School the Voice ceased speaking for a moment and then again renewed its story as if it had only stopped for breath.This time I3 it spoke of our Sophomore year. Hy this time builing was completed and occupied. This year four new teachers were installed. They were Mr. Longg Mr. lVIcDonald3 Mrs. the new Cannon and Miss Seawell. Mr. Long otliciated as principal,and when his deep bass voice echoed through the Auditor- ium for order it was not long in coming. Mr. Mclfionald was our Athletic instructor and also held the chair of History, and made himself right welcome with his ever ready wit, but now he has left us, to our sore regret, and is still soaring upwards in a larger field. Mrs. Cannon came into our midst as a warbling songster out of the sky and occupies the chair of music. Oh! you should see those eyes that she can makr when some slight task requires a bit of assistance from the good hearted youths at school. Then from the there was Miss Seawell who came State lfniversity. She is our Latin instructor and makes it a subject. of sunshine and joy for all who chance to enter her class room door. When our c'ass went for a Wiener roast in the fore part of November we all found to our great surprise that Miss Sprowls. the sci- tnce teacher. was unusually fond of pickles, both sweet and sour. Our friend of the past did not forget to recall some of the dual met-ts of our basket- ball team nor did he forget that the Sopho iiore team won the class Athlete, Genre, who did his share in helping the tl. H. S. win the track mfet that spring in which all the county High Schools participated. Again the Voice paused for a short time after which it began to enumerate the events of our .Iunior year. One of the most pleasing events of the year was realized on the first day of school when oui' two new teachers were introduced. There was Miss Lt-Vien whom we soon learned was great on the conservation of time and would stand for no foolishness in the stufly hours. but ah, what a change when really there was a joke and how jovial she proved to be when the work was over and the tasks of the day were done. The other new member of the faculty was Mr. ltlcllayid, who came to fill the place left vacant by Mr. lth-Donald. He was always jovial and enjoyed a joke immensely. As this year flew swiftly by it was Filled with happiness and pleasure most of the time. The Juniors and Seniors held a Hallowe-'en party in the High School Gymnasium and here all the hidious monsters and spectorsr were represented that are thought of in con- nection with that date. Aside from this we had the pleasure of attending two socials that year. First the Seniors gave a reception for the Juniors and this was really our first ap- pearance in High School social life. lt must. be added helc that those Seniors certainly knew how to entertain. The reception was held in the Commercial rooms which were beautifully decorated for the occasion. A pro- gram was rendered and several musical num- bers were given. Aside from the other amuse- ments a large punch bowl was present and we were invited to help ourselves to its contents. About eleven e'clock word came to retire to the domestic science rooms where a bountiful three course luncheon was served. Later in the season came our turn to en- tertain the Seniors. We enjoyed ourselves equally well on this occasion. Thus time How on until near the close of school when fate sent a blow in our direction that was of no small weight. lt was at this time that we began to realize the seriousness of the great war and the awfulness of the calamity hanging over our heads. The tirst otlicers training camp had been opened at Camp Sheridan, and it had claimed among its membeis our faithful instructor Mr. Mctlavid. llefore this the war had been a subject that wc avoided as much as possible in our school, but now that it had been brought home to us we thouj.g'lit it time to awaken. No longer was the war avoided :ind by this time the school has a large service Ilagr with nearly a dozen stars on it. lly this time the Voice had completed its third cycle and when it had again made itself heard it had started on its fourth revolution and headed straight for the goal. First it recalled to mind the first day- ot' school when we met our new instructor Mr. Greer. He came to till the vacancy left by ltr. Mcllavid. He,like all the athletic instruc- tors,always gieets the boys with a smile and he makms his classes xtnusually interesting with his ever ieady wit and humor, but if he does not mind, as the boys say, he is going to fall victim to Miss LeVien's wary net. The story as it was unwovcn for the last few months in High School 'ran along rather smoothly for the first quarter. One notice- able fact was that throughout the four years our class had remained about the same in size. Comparable with the forty-three which we had at the beginning of our lfrcshmun year our class now consists of fortystwo members. Just a littlt before Christmas we received word that our former Superintendent, Mr. Niedermcyer had enlisted in the aviation corps of the army. Some few weeks later came the 1 sad words from Camp Kelly telling of his death due to pneumonia. It seemed as if a cloud hung over the whole school. His star on the service flag was draped with black crepe and a bouquet of red, white and blue car- nations was also placed above the star. This was indeed sad news for onr class for he had been with us for three long years and all had become attached to him. Thus our High School years were called to , mind and as our friend of the past slowly dis- appeared in the distance he hastily sketched two pictures. One of a room filled with bright, happy young faces Hitting to and fro apparent- ly lost in the excitement of the present. This was the Seniors reception to the Junlors. The other was a picture of a large red cross looming up in the back ground which recalled our donation to that cause and for the benefit of our boys who are fighting with the colors. + +0-r o - A Dream fln which is revealed the future of Class '18l By Geraldine Kimbro was very tired and weary after the gradu- ating exercises of our Class 118, and upon reaching my home I retired immediately. lt was not very long before I was in Dream- land dreaming of our Class '18 as it was to be in the future. There are parts of the dream that I cannot recall with great accuracy but but I will try and relate the most important parts. I dreamed that after graduating I was somewhat of a globe trotter and had the good fortune to meet or hear of all of my c'ass- mates. The following is a brief account of the dream: In 1930 I went to California for my health and while I was there I met a very fine Doctor from Honolulu who advised me to go to Hawaii. This Doctor Kneier proved to be my old friend Mayard of Greenville. After remaining in Hawaii for two years my health was somewhat improved and I left on the 31st of June for London. One day as I was walking through the streets of this great metropolis I met my dear friend- Lois Fox now Mrs. Lawrence Tice. She said that Mr. Tice was adjusting some insur- ance for the Metropolitan Insurance Company of New York and they were leaving im- mediately for America. We walked along the streets for some time taiking of the good times we had when we were both Seniors at Green- ville High School in 1918 and to our surprise we met Marie Chapman, who was looking for a lost purse. Lois told me a few minutes later that Marie was a world noted singer. Marie said that while she was studying at Los Ange- les she was entertained several times at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frances Blacet. Mrs. Blacet was formerly Miss Olivia Banning of Greenville, Illinois. One evening while I was still in London some of my friends invited me to go to a thea- tre with them. The performance was excep- tionally good that evening and I was very much interested in one of the actresses. In fact I became so curious that I asked one of the ladies near me who this wonderful actress was. She told me that her name was Mildred Bohman of Greenville, Illinois. I told her I had gone to High School with Mildred and she exclaimed:- Not really? Why I used to go to school with her too. Whatever can your name be? I told her that I was Geraldine Kimbro and you may be sure we paid no more attention to the performance. As I had made quite an extensive tour of England, I decided to cross the channel and travel in Germany for a while. Germany is now quite a progressive nation since the allies forced it to set up a Republican form of government. The first city I stopped at was Berlin. While there I visited several large universities and I soon found out that Greenville was well represented on the honor lists. Vern Root had been graduated in 1924 from the Great y 1 1 Musical Academy. Ralph Hickman, Charles Mansfield, and Albert Huber had all been graduated from law schools and had all been to America and built up their practices. From there I journeynd to Verdun the great battlefield. Some of the largest Red Cross hospitals in the world are situated here. While visiting some of them I met my dear old friends, Rubv Leutwiler and Callie Weber who were busy performing their duties as Red Cross Nurses. They told me that Mr. and Mrs. Alva Smith had just been there inspect- ing the hospital. Mrs. Smith was formerly Miss Pearl Riley. After a three months stay at Verdun I left for Paris . One afternoon I stopped at a Blanicuring and Hairdressing establishment. And who do you suppose were the proprietors? Miss Amy Wilson and Miss Elsie Reeves. We three girls surely had a grand chat that after- noong during which time they told me a few of their troubles. After graduating from High School they had specialized in the above men- tioned trade and then they both got married. Hut due to some misunderstandings they both had got a divorce. Amy had divorced Reuben Rixman and I-ilsie, llurl Hunter. Nevertheless the girls said they were very happy and rather liked hatching it. They had heard very re- cently that Burl Hunter had returned to Ameri- ca and married the girl he really loved- Miss Cora Mills and that Reuben was a German professor in New York. As I was beginning to be very fatigued from my extensive travels I decided to go to the mountains in Switzerland. One day while my guide was taking me up the mountain side I met a man who was engaged by the Paramount Flim Co. of the lfnited States, to take pictures of the beau- tiful scenery. Later l learned that this man was libert Delaney who was known in the G. H. S. as Snap Shot Bill. From all appear- ances Ebert had been living up to his name. After staying here for about two months I left for Italy. In Florence I met Frances Breuchand and Amy Weigel who were now both famous studying the material for On Aug. 27, I left for Greece. While I was in Athens I saw Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Genre who were tracing back their ancestors. Mrs. Genre was formerly Miss Gertrude Wise of Greenville, Ill. This was the happy ending of La High School romance. Early in the next year I left for South America. In Chile I met George Watson, now poctesses. They were here native language and collecting their writings. a multi-millionaire. He was president of a rich mining company. As I did not care very much to stay in such a warm elime for a long time I journeyed north to Mexico. At Mexico City I saw Mrs. Will Lindh who said that Mr. Lindh and she had been seeing after real es- tate affairs and were now on their way to see friends in Greenville, Ill. Mrs. Lindh was formerly Miss Ruth McNeill of Greenville. Upon reaching the Ifnited States I re- mained a few days at New Orleans. One evening while I was looking over the comic por-- tion of the newspaper I glanced at the comedi- an's name and to my surprise there in hold face type was t'I'aul Cline. The next day I went to the office and the stenographer toi-I me that Mr. Cline was not in. A lively con- versation ensued and in a few minutes I learned that the girl I was talking to was Miss Ilertha Jett. Consequently we began talking of some of our old school mates and she said that Miss Altie Hall was Ileauty Editor of the St. Louis Times and that she had just received an announcement of her engagement to Mr. Orville Shaner. In a few more days I arrived in Washing- ton, D. C. As I was somewhat interested in studying about the cabinet members I de- cided to call upon them. To my amazement I found that women were being appointed in the place of men. Miss Esther Allio was Secretary of the Interior, Luella Elam, Sec- retary of the Navy, and Madge Richardson, Secretary of the Treasury. I also learned that the Misses Lyl Wise and Helen Johnston were members of Congress and very radical suffragette leaders. However neither of them had been so radical that they were not the best of law abiders. Lyl told me that she had just been over to see Mrs. Chasey and that Mr. Chasey was the great Steel King of the United States. She also added that I should go over and see Fae as she would be very, very, glad to see me. You may be sure I was not very long in reaching the Chasey Home. Their little home was surely a dream and I enjoyed myself immensely while there. I stopped in at one of the large dry goods departments and here came my dear old friend Midge, sometimes called Ruth Mat- ney. We were together the rest of the day and she told me that Orlou Hueter and Ruth Willeford were both great charity workers in the large city, both were unmarried. In about three more days I was in Chica- go attending a large Auto Show and I ran across Nolia Nolan and Zelma and Winita 18 Gould. Nolia and Zelma were giving the reasons for buying a Ford and Winita was -elaborating on the finer points of a Hup- Inobile. Qian- At last I arrivcd in my home town Green- ville, Ill. lt is the same old town and as flourishing as ever, with the same good o'd f'High. Review of This Year's Work By Amy Wilson T the first of this school year about two hundred students gathered in the as- sembly room, all supposedly for the purpose of acquiring knowledge. Some were short, some tall, good, bad or indifferent pu- pils. The boy or girl who came with a Cl8l l- nite purpose in view may have said to him- self, What will this year bring to me? Will it influence my life more than any other? Then to that person there came the determina- tion to live up to thc high stands of our high school. In the past year we have accomplished much, but in the achievements of our high school the alumni must be remembe1'ed. Some are serving Uncle Sam, some in college, and others reflecting glory in other ways on G. H. S. Nothing has tended to give us more enjoy- ment this year than the Victrola, which was given to the high school by the class of 1917. A record played before study hours not only tends to familiarize us with celebrated musical compositions but to add more enjoyment to our school life. Besides the victrola we have the benefit of the footlights, on the stage, which were put in by the seniors of last year. 'It is our hope that all the classes will keep up the past records. On the gymnasium floor our boys are the fleetest. Alva Smith, commonly known as Snig, seems almost an indifatigable player. Mr. Green, our competent! coach in athletics this year, helped make basket-ball a success. Did some one tell you Highland and Effingham defeated G. H., S. on our floor and on theirs? For further information just ask one of the star players such as Raymon Genre or Frank Chasey. Our boys were good losers as well as Winners. At all times they displayed the true spirit ofthe school and that of sportsman- ship. Mr. Long, our superintendent, inter- ested us in the Y. M. C. A. drive. His efforts resulted in raising three hundred dollars. We of the G. H. S. were very proud of this. By dividing the high school pupils into two sec- tions, the Y. Mfs and C. Afs, with Francis Blacet and Burl Hunter as captains, the inter- was made more intcnce and exciting, A bas- ket ball game and pie social were given in the gymnasium. The enthusiasm was marvelous. livery body showed his true colors and patriot- ism by giving money to this good cause. For the Red Cross benefit, the girls of G. H. S. made and bought candy. This was sold at the Bond County Institute and the proceeds amounted to about twenty dollars. The annual high school play entitled Private Secretary under the coaching of Mr. Ferguson was a great success. Who can tell what G. H. S. in future years can do with her brilliant actors and actresses who constantly take rart in the plays? Very many of' the The pupils this ycar were interested the Science Club and the Glee Club, organized under the supervision of Miss Sprowls and Mrs. Cannon. Both have been a great help and instruction to the members. ' As we look back over the past year in G. H. S. we think of all the pleasures, together with hard study, we decide that we have made great progress. 'Can 'we limit. progress in civilization, literature and colonization? The Seniors especially have benefitted by this year's work. Tucked away back in our consciousness there is a thirst for more knowledge and a desire not only merely to live, but to know that we are living intensely, and progressing all the while. in Senior Class Will By Paul Cline IC, the members of the Senior Class of the Greenville High School, being of sane mind and possessed of all our normal faculties, do solemnly swear that this is our last will and testament.

PRES.-Milton Willeford SECY. 8: TREAS.--Tony Hays Jessie Foster, Rose Grigg, Faye Harris, Arthur Hartwick, Antonia Hays, Alma Hueter, Harold Largent, Kingsbury Browne, William Lehn, Frank Chasey, Nellie Corson, Carl Denton, Vivian Elliott, N the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred , and fifteen, a collection of some eighty-two future celebrities was ushered across the lortals of the Greenville High School. Such a stupendous and unrivalled aggregation of Edith McVey, Ruth Mahle, Vera Martin, Douglass Merry, 22 Dorothy Mills, Hazel Morgan, Laura Mulford, Louie Monroe, Rolland Neathery, Agnes Potthast, Pearl Price, Oscar Smith, Nina Thompson, Inez Watson, Milton Willeford, squirrel food was never before seen We were the original Goat Grabbersf' Were we all frightened and appalled by the massive gran deur of the building and the strangeness of our- surroundings? Did we shiver and shake be fore the stern glances and scathing remarks of our instructors? Nay, not so! We were awed by nothing. We were the first Fresh- man class in the history of the school to be an organized body, and-whisper it gently- we were the last. Remember on that fair institute day in the fall of 1915 when we de- cided that Freshmen should rule and put the Seniors so ingloriously to rout? lt was then that Prof. Long said that Freshmen should organize no more. You win, brother Long, pick up the marbles, for it has been through you and your constant efforts to keep us on the straight and narrow that we have reached the threshold of great achievements. As Sophomores we attained another step in our evolution. Our roll call was not so large this year owing to the failure of some of our contemporaries to stay with us. Did - -- 49 they flunk? Oh, no, no! They had simply developed a liking for their studies and wished to enjoy them another year. At this period our motto was woe be unto him who let's his studies interfere with his high school educa-- tion and we all struggled heroically to live up to this motto. . But now-now look at us! Just let your glance stray back into the south west corner ol' the assembly room. Who is that dignified and studious looking group of young ladies and gentlemen? Ah, there we are! That's the Junior class of such noted fame,-a fine bunch withal. No more do we engage in the frivolities of our Freshman years, for now as exalted Juniors we must assume the Qfgnity that befits our rank and must strive ever to l-e a bright and shining example for our lower classmen. p ..g Senior Class Poem By Ruth Matney We've toiled and worked together for ages to us it seems, And now at last the time has come to realize our dreamsg We're happy and rejoicing to think we-'ve almost won, But can we think of such a thing when life is just begun? Beneath all our rejoicing, defying all restraint This sentiment lies deep seatedg though traces are but faintg We'l1 work no more together, for us no more one endg But soon we'll travel singly, as our different ways we wend. No matter where time finds us, though we're lost in foreign lands Though we're weary of life's burdens, or have too much on hands We'll ne'er forget our high school with its golden glorious days, But receiving inspiration will set the world ablaze. But now the class of '18 goes out these doors so wide To wonder far through valley, o'er plain and mountain side, We're bound for greater aimsg we'll strive to hear well done On that eternal day when all things we have won.

There were seventy members, some large and some small, all eager and willing to nzake the most of the year. As soon as we had become acquainted with the routine of school life we were anxious to organize, but for various reasons fthat is, the rash conduct ol' the preceding classy we received orders from headquarters that we would not be al- lowed to do so or to have pennants. However we rallied sufficiently from this c1'uel blow to make more noise than any other class in the school parade of the Farmers' Institute. Two of our boys played on the first basketball team which accounts for the excellency of the team. 'I'he girls also broke the record and by their superior playing won the class basketball tournament. The classmen besieged the walls of learning and carried away grades which were tokens of their industry in conquering the diihcult subjects. A few could not keep up with the rapid studies of the others and rather than leave school without a sufhcient amount of knowledge they are taking the same work over again so that they may learn it better. The class again made itself known on Loyalty Day and appeared in the parade in patriotic array which called forth complimentary com- ments from many people. The end of the year came and the classmen separated for the sum- mer with a determination to come back the next year and be the protectors of the Freshmen and again assume their graver duties of study. The class this year is about the same as it was last year except that there are only forty- two members. Some stayed at home on the farm to help win the war, some stayed behind to swell the number of Freshmen this year, and our friend Henry Birkenstock has become quite famous as a country school teacher. We also welcomed four members to our ranks this year. After a long session of the class we final- ly choose our class colors and pennants and decided to keep our pennants the remaining four years until we graduate. We again dis- tinguished ourselves in the school parade of the Farmers' Institute by our good class yells. On the sixth of April we had a party in which we recalled the days of our youth and forgot the cares and worries of our old age. We are blessed with artists and musicians. Four of our members play in the G. H. S.or- chestra and four others took part in the an- nual play. We are now nearing the end of our second year feeling that we have done our duty by the Freshmen and sincerely hoping that they will follow our excellent example. -Q 495 v - Junior Class Poem Some say that the Juniors are stupid, But that is indeed, a mistake, For they'll all miss our bright beaming faces Next year when we graduate. We have the best members in High School, The best that are found in the landg We willingly work without thinking, For duty well done do we stand. And we're sure if President Wilson Should come to some fatal disgrace, Our highly accomplished .class leader Could easily take his place. Among us we have great musicians, And talents of every kind: Orators, actors and athletes, The best that you ever can find. Our maidens are all of them beauties For good breeding they've won themselves fameg Atractive and dignified always They put the poor Seniors to shame. For the Freshmen we set good examples And We're striving to lead them aright, In order that they may be Juniors Whose future will some day be bright.

Freshmen Class History N the third day of' Sept. 1917, the call for volunteers for the Army of Knowledge of the Greenville High School was answered by nearly two hundred boys and girls. Some were recruits. others had been in training for one. two or three years. Never- lt ss all were anxious to begin the drilling, that was to make men or women of them all. Mr. Long, the Captain of the Army of Knowledge, appointed lieutenants, who were tr teach and guide them through their years ol' army life. 'Then Captain Long, because the army was too large, divided it into four regi- ments. The names given to these regiments were Freshmen, Sophomores. Juniors and Seniors. The Freshman Regiment was seventy-two strong, larger than any other one in the school. But because they were Hgreenl' in the art of drilling and were recruits, the rest of the army laughed at them. The rookies laughed back, because they remembered that the other regiments had been recmits, them- selves once. Then the Freshman Regiment was divided into squadrons of' from twenty to thirty, which ,.. 0 were drilled and taught at different times of the day. After the first week of the new and interesting army life was over, the Freshman Regiment settled down to show the other Sol- diers of Knowledge how studying and drilling should be done. The four main drills taken by the recruits wfre Latinor German, Algebra, Physiography and English. Latin and German were new and absorbing, Algebra, an obstacle in the pathway of success, in Physiography incon- ceivable things must be learned, and English was the one drill which some thought to be unimportant. But to their great sorrow they found out differently, later. Owing to the hardships and toil that some thought had to be endured in the Army of' Knowledge, ten rookies in the Freshman Reg- iment have dropped out, leaving sixty-two to fill up the no1'theast corner of the great train- ing room of the army. The way of the awkward squad is hard and long, but with the purpose in each mind, of becoming a lieutenant or a captain of a great Army of Knowledge, all of them should and will, finish the first year with colors flying! n-Q W- 7 GUM CHEWING The only trouble with gum chewing at the High School is that the people don't know how how to get the most enjoyment from it. We are offering a compendious set of rules from which, no doubt, everyone can derive benefit. 1.-Always chew gum energetically. It tastes better as you chew faster. 2.-Make it snap as loud as possible, for it is soothing to the nerves. 3.-Never enter the assembly without a large wad, for it's absence would make you conspicuous. 4.-Bring additional gum when you ex- pect to attend Mr. Greer's classes, for you will be deprived of the exquisite pleasure of chew- ing your first cud, by having to expectorate it in a receptacle just outside his window, pro- vided especially for receiving gum. 5.-Practise swallowing it in large quanti- ties. Your skill in causing its mysterious disappearance may come in handy. tNote. lf the subject finds it difiicult to swallow in large quantities, try it in smaller amounts at firstg then gradually increase the portion. Learn to keep the head perfectly motionless when swollowingj. 6.-Never lend it to your neighbor for a period longer than one hour,except in extreme cases of economy. fConsult sanitation laws for further informationb. 7.-Don't let your conversation keep you from chewing. The most melodious conver- sationalists use gum in practice. It is the only means by which purity of tone is pro- duced. 8.-After every twenty-fourth chew, shift your cud to the other side of your mouth. This prevents bearings from wearing away uneven- ly. Caution!!! Persons have suffered serious consequences upon losing count. Beware!!! Watch your count. 9.-Always chew it when in publicg it will keep persons of good breeding at a dis- tance. 10.-Chew it ,whenever you hear music. It develops your sense of rhythm. In addition to giving the masses per- scnal satisfaction, these rules, if followed, lead directly to a raising of ones social status. N ' Louise Wilson 2? Athletics By Albert Hub-fr BASKET RlCl'INVl1,l,l'l High School is a growing institution. ln the four years it has advanced rapidly in oratory and dra- rnatics, and all other departments have been wonderfully improved. But of all rapid studies those made in athletics have been the greatest. In the year of 1913-14 the first basket ball game by our boys was pulled oil' with a bor- rowed ball and baskets strung up on posts in the schoolyard. Well, about that time the School Board BALL of' Grcenvilfe began to realize that there was lots of good doctor and lawyer making ma- terial going to waste in the city because of lack of room for expansion in the High School. Sr they all put their heads together and as a. result we have our splendid new High School, with the best gymnasium, for a school of its size, in southern Illinois and a large and spa- cious eampus. Hats oil' to the Board! ln 1914-15 under the splendid guidance of E. Urban McDonald, quite a number of FSH enthusiastic fellows took advantage of the op- portunity and it was soon evident that we had some future stars. A number of out of town games were scheduled and people began to realize that Greenville was on the map. The following year we were fortunate in securing Carrol McDavid as coach. He most ably carried on the work of his predecessor. A strong team was developed and for the first time in its history Greenville was represented in the tournament of Southern Illinois. Our men were unfortunately pitted against Granite City, a most powerful team, in the first game and were defeated. It was hard luck but they took it like true sports and resolved to come again next year. We have been singularly fortunate in se- curing good coaches. This year the fellows have been carefully trained by G. O. Greer, a noted athlete who has played for several years on one of the fastest college teams in the state. We were again represented at the tournament but because Smith was laid out with a broken'jaw, we were beaten after a noble fight by Vandalia in an overtime game. The line up for the season of the first tram was Snig Smith and Chasey forwards, Genre and Hartwick guards, Hickman center and Hewes as sub. They are all good men and played excellent team work. They worked always for the glory of the team and school rather than for personal honors. It will be a blow to the team for Smith, Genre and Hick- man to graduate, but we are glad to say there are many more fellows in school who are wor- thy to step in their places and maintain the henors of the school. The following is a record of the games of the season and the results. It shows that we won 50 per cent of the games played. No doubt there is room for improvement but it can not be denied that it is a splendid show- ing when the fact is taken into consideration that this is only our third season. Three years ago we had no team or coach, now we are able to hold our own with the average team of this section of the country. Our men also were greatly handicapped by having to play many of their games in little two by ,four gymnasiums after being accustomed to our large and open floor.

TENNIS Tennis as an extra curricular activity fwhewlj has not as yet been very extensively considered in the Greenville High School. But now with our fine new tennis court, and with Mr. Long whose name is known to all tennis players throughout the middle west, as our coach, we expect to hear much of this invigor- ating sport. ff. H 4-S-P- 1-2 LUCELLA Lucella went to class one day, It was in English Threeg And she was feeling very gay, As happy as could be. Lucella, while reports were said, To Zona talked away, When Fergie grew quite tired of it, And to her thus did say: Lucella you provoke me so, I'd think you would run down! And then' he looked around the room, And gave an awful frown. But Fergy needn't worry, t For Lucella's very smart, And when she sees she's runing down, She gets a broad new start. , , - --Faye Harris. 29 Girls' Basket Ball By Florence Hard ng CUAUH JUNIOR Flrlith NlcYey l .arl Price,Captain lluth llruw- Miss LeVien Agnes Potthast Della Smith Dorothy Mills FREFHBIAN SENIOR Laura Mulforil Ruth Carson, Captain Cir-rtruile Wise, Captain Nclle Carson Milclrecl Snowmlen Callie Weber 'l'ony Hays Nina Wheeler Ruth Matney FOPHOMORE Mona Foster Fae McAlister Florence H:1r1line,'. Captain Geraldine Mey'rs Ruby Lentwiler Verna Neathery Juliette I-loiles VERY Tuesday and Thursrlay evening there is such an uproar from the first- floor of the High School that you would think the French were licking the Germansg but that is not the case at all. The girls are merely playing basket ball. I Although this is only the second year for girls' basket ball in this school, the teams have good team work and some excenenr, players among them. It is difficult to say which team is best and there is no way of deciding, for the toumament had to be put off on account of one of the best players getting hurt. Last year the Freshmen '20 won the championship but this year the ti-:uns are more evenly matched. The Freshmen deserve special mention, for al- though this is only their first year at basket- ball, yet they are excellent players. Much en- thusiasm has been shown by the girls this win- ter and now that spring has come they have been obliged to stop playing basket-ball, but are going to play base-ball instead. The captains of the four class teams are: Ruth Carson-Freshmen, Florence Harding- Sophomoresg Pearl Price-Juniors and Ger- trude Wise--Seniors.

Clara Powell Eva Webster, her friend ,.......,, Isabel Breuchaud Miss Ashford .,,....,.............,............ Della Smith ..., There was not a dull moment in the entire performance and each member of the caste performed his part very cleverly, Honorable mention should be given to Frank Chasey by whose action the audience was kept in a con-- tinuous roar of laughter. Della Smitih's repre- sentation of the kind-hearted spinster of 50 summers was remarkably satisfactory. Isabel Breuchaud and Clara Powell, the attractive young girls of the play,who, by their winsome manners and attractive personalities, were won by Harry Marsland and Douglas Catterniole, respectively Douglas Howes and Louie Monroe, were most pleasant in these parts. Burl Hunter, the erratic uncle, rendered his part in an excellent manner. Antonia Hayes was very skillful in por- traying the conscientious housekeeper. Vern Root was very natural in playing the part of Mr. Marsland, father to a giddy girl. Owing to the fact that Chas. Mansfield was unable to appear, Prof. Ferguson assumed the role of Mr. Gibson, the tailor. Mr. Fergu- son had no time whatever to practice, yet his acting was excellent, showing his splendid training in dramatics at the University of Ill- inois. As a whole, the play was very good and no play on the High School stage has shown bet- ter results of faithful work on the part of coach and players. - Music was furnished by H. S. Orchestra. Between acts Frances Breuchaud favored the audience with a few piano selections and May- ard Kneier gave a reading. Both numbers were very Well rendered. 31 COURSES I-low To Study By Mayard Kneier UR High School Boys have special training on how to play basket-ball, how to jump, vault and put the shot. Have not our students a right to as much and as expert coach- ing on how to study, as they receive on how to play basket-ball or do anything else? Let us see what are some of the prerequisites of study. First the heart must be in the work. No great work will ever be done when the heart is not in it. The harder the work, the more clearly true is this statement. It is true of study. There must be interest of some sort in study or it can- not be continued by the average student. In order to make a hearty effort you must think of all the good reasons you can find for study and must control all inclinations toward idleness. A great deal depends upon our emotional tone. If we value and respect our studies we will have the right emotional tone. Not only must we gain the full consent of our mind to the propo- sition that our work as a student is worth doing -we must also have confidence that we can do it. While we are urged to have confidence it should be understood that we are not to take more work than we can do well. We should be- come acquainted with our own limitations. Just as there are boys who can put the shot 40 feet as easily as others put it 20, so there may be one student who can carry 5 subjects with no more effort than another must put forth to carry three. If we belong to the small group that can do no more than 3 subjects well we should accept that fact and not try to carry more. Nothing can be more helpful to the student than to set certain definite hours for the preparation of definite studies. If hours are fixed, habit steps in and makes it easy to begin the task at the appointed time. In fact if tl.e habit is kept up long enough, study will be easier when the study hour comes than anything else. When once the work is begun, when our mind is limbered up and We are warmed to the work, study will not seem so tedious as it did in contemplation before we began. I think of the group of boys' at the old swimming hole, shivering on the bank 'because the water below looks cold. Presently one plunges in and cries come on fellows its dandy. Another boy puts in first one foot then the other and wades slowly out with a shud-der at every step. It is a long time before he begins to enjoy the swim. In our studies we should be like the hardy swim- mer, who plunges in at once. Don't stand on the bank shivering. We'll find the work less dif- ficult and much more enjoyable. More than that we will accustom ourselves to habits of promptness that will carry us through many a struggle without the loss of time and energy that come from indecision. When studying, however, slender our stock of knowledge maybe, we should make use of what we have in acquiring more. We may be- gin by recalling what we have learned on the subject or lesson in hand. It is well to look at the general topics of the new lesson and recall whether we have learned anything from any source whatever about these topics. When new ideas are bro't out relate tiese to the old ones. Much time may also be gained if a lesson is studied as a whole. Knowledge does not exist as separate units. Altho foolish as a Chinese school may seem with the pupils studying at the top of their voices nevertheless this method is not without scientific justification. The louder voice makes the deeper impression, and it is a decided ad- vantage to the student in difficult work to study in an undertone or with lips moving. While stu- dying we should see that the main points stand out prominently in the mind and that all lesser details are grouped in the right relation to them and to another. A good way to do this is by synopsis. When a synopsis has been made it should be visualized. Thorough learning is necessarily slow and tedious, yet slow and tedi- ous though it be, thoroughness of preparation from day to day, will be found to be the most economical in time and energy, and yet we should learn when and how to abandon slow careful reading. We should know how to skim lightly over 50 or a hundred pages of text. Sup- pose some matter is referred to, it may be necessary to examine 50 or 100 pages of text to find the point in question. Here is ar chance for rapid reading. We should learn to use index-- es and tables of contents to help in locating the 32 material that we want. But the secret of study is four-cnrrritifm. Have your mind on the work in hand. The American Wizard, Thos. Edison frequently be- comes so absorbed in the work of his laboratory that hc forgets about his meals. ln our High Schools the students do not concentrate. Their' minds are not with the work. The main trou- ble is, too little pains have been taken to direct them in the art of study. Not undeserved is that biting sarcasm often heard that the High School student does not know vihere he is going but is determined to get there. -.?44Qp?-i War Work By Luna Sprawls HE G. H S. has responded to calls for war work with an enthusiasm that shows true American spirit. When the call came for the War Y. M. C. A. Superintendent Long offered to give ten cents for every dollar raised by the student body. Such a challenge had to be met more than half way: therefore the contest. The Juniors and Sophomores with Burl Hun- ter as leader became the Y. M's, and the Seni- ors and Freshmen, with Captain Blacet to drive them on. became the C. A's. For a week the battle raged, each side determining to win. The Seniors pledged seventy five dollars from their class fund. The Y. M's gave a box supper at which nearly forty dollars was cleared, the high- est box selling for four fifty. Pledges were made freely by every one in the school. When the contest ended, the C. A's Well in the lead, Mr. Long found himself pledged for thirty dollars. The Y. M's plusthe C. A's had secured three hundred dollars. When the Third Liberty Loan drive came on we subscribed for two bonds. The money was raised in one day by pledges from almost every one in school. There was no contest and every one considered it a privilege to keep. The bonds will be made payable to the school for its use at the time of maturity. The American Red Cross has come in for its share of attention, too. The German Depart- ment wanted to show its loyalty in an active way and under Mrs. Cannon's direction decided to make its Red Cross Membership 100 'li . That it succeeded is made evident to all by the beau- tiful poster with its mnty-two crosses, which is displayed in the window of the German Room. In all there are one hundred twenty-one members of the Red Cross in high school, but we do not stop with giving our money. The girls are working every Saturday afternoon at the Red Cross rooms making surgical dressings. In their white uniforms, they make a lonely picture, and as they work so busily that they even forget to talk, the piles of white dressings grow and grow until every Saturday one sees hundreds added to the output of our chapter. Several times almost a thousand dressings have been made in one afternoon, and the girls may well feel that they have a real part in the great work that is being done to heal humanity, by the most wonderful organization in the world. --ll44-0-re -fd- Relation of Botany to lndustry and Commerce By Fae Sharp M'Alister CONOMIC Botany is one of the most im- portant branches of sci--ncr s. because of the direct relationship which plants bear to our own lives. Of all the plants studied in economic botany, the plants which furnish food products for human use are the most important. Grains, which are the fruits of food producing grasses, form the most important of yur vege- table foods and are more useful to man than any other family of plants. Wheat is the most im- portant cereal because of its high food value and ready digestibility. Several kinds of seeds be- longing to the pea family are important articles of food. Beans are used as food in all stages, from the time the pods are half grown until the seeds are entirelv ripe and dry. Nuts are of importance in tropical countries. Almonds are furnished by the rose family and the familiar 32 I 1 'substances chocolate, tea, and coffee are derived from three different families. Chocolate consits of the ground seeds of the cocoa tree. Tea is made from the leaves of a cultivated shrub, and coffee from the seeds of a small tree. Coffee has only a slight food value but acts as a vigorous stimulant. ' Many families contain species used in medi- cine. In some cases the medicinal properties are widely distributed throughout the whole family, while in others, only one important rem- edy or group of' remedies occur. Plants are likewise very essential to our herbivorous domestic animals. Cattle, horses and sheep consume- large quantities of grain. Roots and tubers, which are useful for human food, are readily eaten by these animals, and grasses are utilized by grazing animals. By-- products, the most important of which are lin- seed meal and cotton-seed meal, are valuable food for cattle. These are rich in proteids, and still retain some oil after the greater part of it has been extracted by machinery. The refuse grain from breweries and distilleries is fed to cattle and hogs. For centuries. the advantage of plowing under growing crops, as a means of enriching worn out land has been well recognized. Vari- ous clovers and alfalfa are the crops most com- monly employed. Plant products are used in manufactures. Valuable dyes are obtained from the pea family. India rubberies manufactured from the sap of several tropical trees and tanning is largely car- ried on by aid of the bark of several species of oak. More than half of our supply of hardwoods comes from species of oak. For cabinet work, the most prized are black walnut, cherry, birch and some species of oak. However, none of these are so beautiful as some of the finer im- ported kinds, such as mahogany, rosewood and satinwood. The wood of the white pine is re- markable for its workableness and freedom from warping or cracking when exposed to the weather. Nearly all fuel is of vegetable origin. In most civilized countries, various kinds of coal make up the principal fuel supply. Wood, in portions of the country is still the principal fuel. Other parts of plants are used to some extent for this purpose. ' Most of our cultivated ornamental plants are of foreign origin, but in a few instances na- tive species, such as the California poppy, even- ing primrose, and wild cucumber are familiar in our flower garden. .V -4:,+ The Value of the Study of Mathematics Hy Eunice W. LeVien ' OMB pupils regard the whole process of mathematics as a task so great that their own best interests lie in evading as far as possible the mastery of the task. Some, un- questionably follow the path marked out for them. Stillothers try to go further and ask how it may prove of value to them since its use- fulness is easily questioned because of its ab- stract character and technical form. The facts of mathematics are important. No other subject, except our own language, is so intimately connected with our every day life, even though toa large majority of people its importance is indirect. It is especially import- ant in these days of electricity of steam, in these days of iron monsters of warfare, for mathematics leads the way and guarantees the results. Without it civilization would collapse. Mathematics is valuable as preparation for a future occupation requiring knowledge of the subject. There is a large and growing number of occupations requiring such knowledge. Little can be understood of even the simplest phenomena of nature without some knowledge of mathematics. Astronomy ard Physic's, two of the exact natural sciences, are largely mathe- matical in character. Mathematics has furnished the foundation for Chemistry as a Science. However, even these facts are not the strongest justification for thatstudy, for the skill gained from its study is found to be available beyond the bounds of mathematics. It gives to us certain modes of thought. The training which a person gets in Geome- try, especially, is in receiving a mass of facts, with adetinite aim in mind to be accomplished and selecting and choosing from those facts the ones with bearing on the problem in question, until those truths weeded out and welded to- gether form a new truth. This training is not going to be lost in our present day needs to learn facts and out of a mass of facts seize those per- taining to the situation and become master of it. It gives us training in ability to grasp situations and to come to definite conclusions-for mathe- matics is the science of conclusions. Zoology By Helen E. .lohnston HE work covered in Zoology fmore popular- ly called Bugology i was both thorough and interesting. The study of the phyla was treated in a very logical order, starting with the highest phyla, Mammalia, and descended to the lowest Protozoa. We also outlined the phyla in the order of evolution. Our efficient laboratory equipment made it possible to study one typical specimen of each class in detail, up to the Reptilia. D ssection-: were made and drawings sketched of the various parts to show the relation existing between the organs or different specimens. This made text work easier and brot us into touch with actual things. Our work also had its humorous side. Many remarkable facts were related and their authen- ticiti would be rich food for scientists. For exam- ple different members of the class were laboring under the impression that frogs had tails, oald- headedness was hereditary, and humans sup- plied with a gizzard. Anil last but not least we must mention our teacher Miss LeVien whose efficiency and patience made our work so pleasant. -++o+ Q- -qs - --- Economics By Faye Harris CONOMICS may be defined as that science which deals with the efforts of mankind to procure-those material commodities and personal services that tend to support life and to make a civilized existence possible. You can readily see that it is a broad sub- ject and touches upon almost every subject of the world to-day. We study it under four main divisions which are,--production, exchange, distribution and consumption. These divisions are of course di- vided again and again. The one general thought that Professor Long tries to impress upon us, is what wealth is-how it is obtained and how retained. This includes the wealth of nations as well as the individual. We therefore study our national resources and try to learn what there is in the United States that is being wasted. Many experiments are being made and it was recently found that prior to the war milli- -ons of dollars were lost in waste wood. For in- stance, it has been found that alcohol can be manufactured from saw-dust. Two large plants are already operating in the south. Wood waste is being used in many industries as a source of tannin, dyestuff and turpentine. The early practice of leaching wood ashes as a part of the home soap making, is being again revived. It is also found that the leaves ofsome trees have little ducts running through them that con- tain oil. This oil is being used in greases and shoe blackings. Many fancy braids, silk hose and necktics contain silk made from wood. Kraft paper is also very interesting. Kraft differs from other paper, in that it is stronger. Strips of it are being run through spinning nia- chines and twisted into threads. This thread is then woven into coffee bags, matting, suit- cases, coarse mattings and furniture reseniblinfg reed. A successful paper substitute would pro- vide for the utilization of a large amount of waste wood, and at the same time would build up a home industry. We see since the war that we have been as wasteful of our wood as we have been of our food. Some of this waste can be avoided and is in some places, by improved method of man- ufacture. This is one of the many fields with wonderful opportunities for application of scien- tific methods, that pertain to Economics. Every paper you pick up has many, Econo- mical subjects. We study money,-its value and the value of large organizations. Although our class is not very large, and has existed only since the last of January, we find it an interest- ing study and one that will apply to every-day ife. Perhaps it has been made more interest- ing by our instructor, Professor Long, who hap- pened to enter upon matrimonial subjects at about the same time he began teaching Econo- mics. Although it may seem strange at first thought, yet we find these two are in a way closely related to each other. Why Study Latin? By Ruth Seawell AVE you ever written a letter, uttered an opinion, delivered a speech or com- posed an essay? Then you needed the power of clear and logical expression. How can you gain it? Try the study of a foreign tongue which will force you to compare and contrast expressions, analyze and combine words and sentences and reflect upon speech with its pecularities. Such opportunities Latin offers. Latin has been called the muscular part of English, the largest element in the meat 'ind tissue that clothe the Saxon skeleton. In fact about two thirds of English words are derived from that language. What an increased voca- bulary then comes directly from a knowledge of Caesar, Cicero or Virgil! Indirectly too we en- large our vocabulary. For instance the small word res has an unlimited variety of mean- ings which in translation demand a fine sense of distinction. Latin is extremely practical then, because ,it is so vitally connected with our own English language. High School subjects form a foundation for future work. How much easier is the study of other languages after a foundation in Latin, French and Spanish are built upon it, ln other fields we realize its value. For example legal practice are largely a matter of verbal intrepre- tation and every sentense in Latin is a lesson in logic. We must not lose sight of its higher and more cultural value. Many of life's failures are due to narrowness of mind and lack of vision. Latin illuminates and broadens the mind: it gives intellectual perpectiveg widens our know- ledge of life and man: lt makes us more capable of facing the various problems of personal, so- cial and political life. Our literary sense is developed by becoming acquainted with literary models of a lofty type: an excellent taste is cultivated and an instinct for the beautiful in prose and poetry. The sim- ple concise narrative of Caesar, the rich polished and brilliant oratory of Cicero and the appealing music of Virgil's poetry cannot fail to impress us. ln view of these facts, shall we study Latin? .-.sp-4 - The Chemistry Laboratory By Ruth Willeford HE chemistry laboratory is one of the mani' prides of the school lt is in the north-west room of the second floor. A part of its light comes from the west but the dif- major portion is from the north, therefore fused light is received. In addition to this large working room, located to the east of it the two store rooms. One is well lighted: its demen- sions are about five by fifteen feet, the dcmensions of the other are about tive by ten feet, and it can be made absolutely dark. In the large room are three aberdene-topped tables which extend two-thirds of the length of the room. There are lockers enough for two classes of twenty-four each. Each of the tables has a center drain with two shelves above it, upon which are placed the bottles of acid and the main pipe for the natural gas for each respective table is between the drain and the lower shelf. At the north end of each table is a sink to which the city water is piped. On the east side of the room are two hoods which catch and provide for the escape- ment of gases which might be generated in connection with chemical experiments. The rooms are heated with steam and illuminated with electricity. - This equipment together with the large supply of chemicals and apparatus which is pro- vided and most important of all our absolutely unexcelled teacher, Miss Luna Sprowls, makes the chemistry one which it would be almost im- possible to excel in a school of similar size. Se here's a cheer for her, The High ?cJliogJldScience Club HE Hrst Science Club in the High School was organized in November, 1917. Club meetings were held in the Science room. At the first meeting, November 7. the election of officers took place. They were: Dale San- derson, president: Geraldine Myers, vice-presi- dent: and Louisa Casey, secretary and treasurer. The officers, aided by Miss Sprowls, constructed a constitution and a set of by-laws which were followed by the members of the club. The object of the Science Club was to study .science in general, and to learn more about modern inventions. Meetings were held weekly -on Monday evenings at four o'clock. Programs were prepared by committees appointed by the officers the week before. To give an idea of the programs, the first one given was as follows: The meeting opened with the reading of the Constitution and by laws. The minutes of the previous meeting were also read and approved. The first number on the program wasa read- ing by Geraldine Myers, The Good Old Winter Time. Following this was a paper on, The Influence of our Birds, by Juliette Hoiles. The next number was a talk by Dale Sanderson on The Submarine Cable. Claude Hathaway talked on Other Modes of Communication. The closing number was a paper about The Scientists Explanation of the Aeroplane. A vote was taken to decide which number was the most interesting. The talk on the Aero-- plane was considered the best and the talk about birds was decided as being second best. The meeting then adjourned. The Science Club was organized thru the ef- forts of Miss Sprowls and the number of char- tered members is nineteen. The following are the members.

CST High School Orchestra By Amy Weige musical l'c:it,ure which has been a source of pride and pleasure to the High School pupils this yr-ar is the orchestra, which was organized in the early part of the school year. The orchestra is composed of ten members and is under the direction of Prof. Ferguson. of the H. S. This aggregation has appeared in public scxcral times, playing at receptions, H. S. plays and thc like, and has always been enthu- siastically received by the audience. For a number of the members this is the tirst work of this kind that they have ever at- tempted, but nevertheless they have gotten to- HH ge ther a musical organization which would do credit to any school.

H. 5. l Camp Fire is an organized effort to seek he-auty, romance and adventure in every day life, and to develope the home spirit. Camp Fire girls become acquainted with the great outdoors through camping and hiking, they also learn to share and work together. The Camp Fire Girls, founded by Mrs. L. H Gulick of Maine, was opened to the public ar' a national organization, March 17th, 1912. Originating from Mrs. Gulick's small group, tha- Camp Fire Girls now number l00,Il27, in- cluding Alaska, Philippine Islands, Hawaiian lslands, Canada, Canal Zone, Porto Rico, South America, lflngland, Scotland, Africa, besides thi Unite-d States. Camp Fire Girls have three lgroupsl ranks: Wood gatherers, signiiied by fagot ring, Firm- Makers. by silver bracelet. and Torch llrarer. by 'l'oreh l4earer's pin. These ranks are attained by fulfilling certain requirements and winning honors. for which colored heads 410 are awarded. Meetings are h-wld weekly, and cereinonials, at which the girls dress in costume, monthly. All girls between the ages of L2 and 20 are eligible for membership. The Onaway Camp Fire Girls of ville, Ill., were organized April l7, 2917, when Green - we chose Miss Eunice LeVien as our guard- ian. A few months later we recoiveil our charter from headquarters and were recog- nized as a chapter of the National Organiza- Lion. The six rharter inembers were Smith, Melba Pacatte, Elizabeth l-lofes, Verna Bruce. llvfia Neathery, Florence Harding, and Ruth Since then we NZIYP added to our number: Edith McVey, Ruth McNeil, Juliet Hoil-es, Mona Fose- tl-r,Bei'nice Hawley. and Laura Mulford. We have spent many a d-eliuglitful hour together, hiking, swiinminig, and sewing or perhaps Slllgflllg' around the Camp Fir , work- ing in the garden, or planning some way in which we can help Uncle Sam. Just after school was out last spring we surprised our guardian by having A Heap Big Consul Fire,l'at which the faculty and sev- eral High School pupils were guests. During the summer months we Hxed little bouquets for the St. Louis hospitals, and made articles for the Sammies' and 'ilackies' comfort kits. On thc evening of March 15, 1918, we gave an open Ceremonial meeting in the High School Auditorium, and a few weeks later marchcd in the 'tluiberty Loan parade. That evening we acted as ushers at the Patriotic meeting held in the Court Room. We work at the lCourt House,y Red Cross Rooms. Saturday afternoons, and in every way possi- ble are striving to the one phase of our aw, t'Give Service. Q-43,-Q Stranded in Germany Ey Elizabetn Hoiles ORGAN Ellsworth, a young New Yorker of a wealthy family, whose father was a broker, and whose mother was striving for a place in society, became sick of the life he was leading as a society doll, and went to Europe in the spring of 1914. He went at last to Berlin, and took up the study of the violin under the famous Herr Krugmann. He found a room next a young Frenchman's in the student quarter of Berlin and settled down to study, throwing his whole soul into his work, for he had great talent. Then in the midst of this peaceful life came the outbreak of the war. Berlin became on the instance a vast military machine and all the talk was of war. Panic-stricken tour- ists and students began to pour out of the city on every train, but it was not so easy to get out as it might seem, and many were forced to re- main. Morgan did not grasp the significance of the whole affair, his thought at hrst being that it concerned him very little if Germany and Russia chose to quarrel. But when the German army invaded Belgium and France, and England joined the struggle, he decided to go home, which decision was strengthened by a cable from his father telling him to return at once. llut here the complications began. His friend, the French student had departed. He was informed of this by the good housewife who kept the boarding house at which he stayed. Henri had been very much excited over the war and had bewailed his fate at being forced to remain in Berlin. Morgan supposed -u he had moved his lodgings and felt rather hurt because Henri had not told him good-bye. On entering his room Morgan noticed a sheet of paper covered with hurried writing. lt wx, plained that Henri had been unab'e to resist longer and had taken Morgan's passports, hoping to escape on the strength of them. Morgan understood how he felt only too well, but, as he remarked to the ceiling, a pretty bad mess! lt happened quickly. Later, when he looked back at the events of those few days, he could remember only part of what had hap- pened. Clear in his mind, however, was the face of the German official who informed him in a disinterested way that he was under ar- rest, being suspected of being a British spy and that he would be brought before the Bur- gomaster that afternoon. Morgan was indigi nant. What an absurd idea! Suspect him of being a British spy! lt would not take long to get that notion out of the heads of these idiot, ic Huns! Then he began to see it in the light of a huge joke and thought what a good story it would be to tell when he got home. He supposed that the first thing to do was to get the United States minister to tell these ofiicers that he was an American citizen and no more a spy than the minister himself was. He was a litle surprised and disturbed when at the Hmbassy they first asked to see his passports and when he said they had been stolen, told him kindly but firmly, in words to the effect that they did not know him and for all they knew he might be a British spy as the otlicials said. or an American, as he said. Thcy ex- prcsscd sympathy for him, but said that so many foreignm rs were claiming to be Ameri- cans at that timf that it made it difficult for them to a'waj.'s do the correct thing. That afternoon it lish accent he had affected was sciszcd upon was worse. The ling- triumphantly by the oflicia's and his story of losing his passports was smiled at in polite in- crcdulity. lle ground his tceth in helplcss rage and swallowed his resentment as best he could. lt was all such a farce! lt was so ridiculous. the whole affair! l-Iut it might have a serious ending for him. and he cou'd prove nothing. The otlicial announcc d that all things pointcd to his guilt and as he could prove none of his statements. he must 1 rerure for the worst. Then into the room burst Hz rr lirugmann. red-faccd and panting. What outrage is this! he cried. to the astonishment of the ollicials. He went on hurricdly, that young fellow is no more a spy thin I am! I only heard of his arrest a moment ago, for I have been away. and l came here to put a stop to such nonsense. He is an American and to ac- cuse him of spying is more than ridiculousln The ofticials looked at one another. Herr Krugmann was a man of some influence in the city and they respected his opinion. The investigation will be postponed un- til tomorrowf' was the decision. Morgan talked with Herr Krugmann and the master said he would think of some way to clear him, to trust him and all would be well. On the next day no word had come from his friend and Morgan grew anxious. He knew well enough what the outcome would be, should Krugmann fail in his endeavors. But at the last minute in walked the little man, triumphantly pulling a taller man with him. He introduced the stranger as a famous hypnotist of llerlin and went on to say that with the permission of the officers Morgan would be put in a trance and while in that state would be questioned. You know. sirs. that while under such influence, a man will answer only the truth. The men nodded. Have I your permission to proceed 7 Perhaps the novelty of the idea influenced the Germans, but at any rate, they agreed to it. ln the midst of a dead silence, the tall man stepped up to Morgan. Even the grim ofticiafs ltancd forward in intense interest, as the Morgan realy was unconscious. Have you ever conveyed information to the liritish concerning German plans ? 4:N0.u hypnotist by various means showed that Are you an American ? Y1s. ' How did you lose your passports '? They were stolen. The questions were fired rapidly by the grizxzied o'd veteran in the uniform of a Ger- man general and Morgan answered them in a queer monotone. 'tlt is enough. said the general, and Mor- gan's bewildermcnt as he looked around the room was convincing proof of the sincerity of the performance. How can I be sure that it is not all a pretense? asked the general next. That would be a very easy litle act to stage. I will not accept it as proof until you 'prove the proof'.l' He smiled a little at his own wit. But I can do that also, sir, said Herr Krugmann with a suppressed eagerness in his voice, if you will permit one of your officials to be hypnotized as this young man has been, and similarly questioncdg Lieutenant von Ober- burg. for instance, indicating the officer by a casual gesture. The officer in question spoke excitedly. He seemed to be controlling himself by a vast effort. But, general, I have never been subjected to such a test. I do not feel sure of myself. Would it not be better for a younger oflicer to undergo it? The general eyed him keenly for a moment and then without removing his gage from the man's shaking figure, said shortly to proceed with Lieutenant von Oberburg. But the un- fortunate lieutenant waited no longer. Almost beside himself with fear, stammering incoher- ently, he made his confession. I knew it all the time, said Krugmann, calmly. Here, general, is your proof 'proved'. -iT.. 49, ---- 42 A Lad O'Wits By Essic Hicks HILIP Bennington had been out of col- lege 3 years, when he was sent as a del- egate to a convention to be held in a large city, several miles from his home. On the second day as he was making his way to the ho- tel, he nearly collided with a young lady going the opposite direction. Stepping backward he saw that it was Mary Birch an old college friend. Why here's Phil! exclaimed Mary, I did not expect to see you. t'Nor did I expect to see you, said Philip. How did you happen to be here? asked Mary. l'm attending the convention, Philip an- swered. What are you doing here? Oh, I've been here quite a while,'l Mary replied. 'Tm stenographer for the Host Man- ufacturing Company. I live at 1709 Fourth Street. You might call and see me before you leave, said Mary. After further conversation they partcd and Mary had Philip's promise to call the next afternoon at four. The next day as Philip hastened to the ho- tel he remembered his promise to call on Mary in the afternoon. He stopped on his way to n'ake a few necessary purchases. When I'hilip reached the hotel he was occupied for some time with his mail. The hour for his call soon came. As Philip set out he remembered that Mary had told him she lived on Fourth Street. Coming, as he thought, to her house he rang the bell. Stepping back he saw the name Brown on the door, he then noticed that he had made a mistake in the number. He then hc-ard footsteps coming and wondered how he could get away without any trouble. He thought to himself, The name on the door is Brown so I'll ask for Miss Thompson and of course she won't be here. At this moment the door was opened by a very dignified looking woman. Philip touched his hat and asked, Is Miss Thompson in? The lady replied, Yes sir, come right in. Philip felt the blood rush to his face but he stood his ground. He stepped in and the lady said, Just be seated and I'll call her. Philip sank into the nearest chair and thought, Goodness, I wish I'd asked for Miss Smith instead. He waited a moment and then he hcard -I3 heavy footsteps approaching. Miss Thomp- son appeared wiping the flour off of her hands on her apron. She was a large Scotch-Irish woman. more Irish than Scotch, as could be seen by her rcd hai1', ruddy complexion, and snapping blue eyes. Good heavens, thought Philip, Unow I'm in for it. Miss Thompson as it appeared was not in a very good humor that afternoon. L'pon see- ing Philip she began, Well young man what's yer business here? If you want to see me ye'd better hurry up and tell yer business. I guess I ainlt got my hands in the dough this time in the day for nothin! I guess it aint enough that I have to bake some extry kind of pies for supper but I must be pestered with strappin' young fellers like you into the bar- gain! Philip's heart sank within him and he wondered what he could do to get out of this mix up. Miss Thompson went on, If I was young and pirty like some girls I might expect sech fellers as you to come an' see me, but since I ain't I don't like to be bothered with 'em, 'specially when I'm head over heels at work in the kitchen. Now hurry up and tell yer business and be gone. During this discourse Philip happened to look down and his gaze fell on Miss Thomp- son's feet. He had noticed that she limped a litle when coming into the room, it was evident that she suffered from corns. A bright idea came to Philip for he suddenly remembered that among his purchases he had made that morning was a package of corn medicine. He still had this package in his pocket for he had forgotten to take it out. Assuming as pleasant a tone as he could under the circumstances Philip asked, My good lady do you not suffer very often with corns? Corns! snapped Miss Thompson, UI guess if you had to stand in the kitchen as much as I do ye'd know what it is to suffer with corns. I'd holler corns, they nearly kill me sometimes! I have some medicine here said Philip, that Pm sure would help them. I thought you might like to try it. If so you may do so free of charge. Free of charge sniffed Miss Thompson, It must not be much if ye don't charge noth- in' fer it. I'll take it though jist to git rid of ye. And remembernshe warned him, if it makes my feet hurt any worse than they do already ye'd better not show yer face around here agin'. Any body around this neighbor- hood as knows Nora 'l'hompson'll tell ye that she ain't to be fooled with. Philip was glad to get away with this. He took his hat and departed and Miss Thomp- son slammed the door behind him. Thank an H..- . 4 Q goodness, thought Philip, but what will Mary say? l'm fully half an hour late. Philip found his way to Mary's home. ex- plained why he was late and they both enjoyed The next time plate on the door a good laugh. Mary said, you'd better notice the name before you ring. p - --- Miscellaneous Parties SENIOR PARTIES N Friday night, March 8th, Ruth Mc- Niel was hostess to the Senior Class and Faculty members, at her home. The entertainment consisted in guessing advertisements and other stunts. Music was furnished by the victrola and Mr. Ferguson rendered several selections on the piano. Delicious refreshments were served and flfgs were given as favors. liveryone had a most delightful time. 'l'he social ball was started rolling on Feb. 22nd when the Seniors gave the Juniors a rousing reception. A formal reception has been an annual affair in the High School for many years, but this year the Seniors showed their originality by giving a dl-latchet Party. All formalities were omitted and successful ef- forts were spent in making the evening a most delightful one. 'l'he Juniors were received in the double com- mercial rooms whieh were beautifully decorat- ed in the national colors. A profusion of flags were brought into the color scheme and a star was formed on the ceiling with trans-- verse bands of paper. A short program was given which con-- sisted of several musical numbers and a piano-- logue by Prof. Ferguson, called the Follies of l918 . A verse was written about each mem- ber of the classes, in which idiosyncrasics and events were told in a most ludicrous manner. Mayard Kneir then gave vent to his poetical emotions and recited a verse about each mem- ber of the Faculty, which brought a roar of laughter from everyone. Remarkable ability was displayed, both in its presentation and composition. A two course luncheon was served in the science room, which was decorated in the Jun- ior class colors. Hatchets and flags were given as favors. George Watson acted as toast master and called on the various mem- bers of the faculty and Louie Monroe, Junior Class President, who responded with very clever toasts. This proved to be so enjoyable that we are hoping it may become a custom to give informal parties in preference to the formal receptions. HALOWEEN PARTY On the evening of Nov. 2, 1917, the pupils and faculty members of the High School, tem- porarily resigned all claims to studiousness when they assembled at the High Schol build- u- ing for a masquerade. No labor was spared in transforming the otherwise bare gymnasium to a bower suitable for the gathering of weird spirits. Corn stalks, pumpkins and sprays of oak leaves were artistically placed in all nooks and corners, giving together with jack-o-lan- terns and many colored lights. an atmosphere ol' enchantment and charm. The High Schol orchestra offered several musical numbers while the masqueraders strolled up and down the long gym floor, try- ing to guess the concealed identities. After unmasking, the party assembled on the benches of the gym where they witnessed the performance of short stunts by members of the four classes. The Freshmen did them- selves credit in out-doing the upper classes in originality and cleverness. The stunts were clever and the performers carried out their parts with skill. Light refreshments, consisting of dough- nuts, cider and pop-corn were se1'ved. after which the faculty members hurried every one home. SOPHOMORE PARTY On Friday evening, April 5, 1918, almost all the Sophomores put aside their grown up airs and forgot the trials and tribulations of Sophomore life and became children of the third and fourth grades again. Even the fac- ulty put aside its dignity? and the teachers became seventh graders. About eight o'clock the commercial room looked very much like a kindergarten, for the girls with their long curls and dear little dol- lies and the boys in their knee pants and big dutch collars were playing Rachel and Jacob. Like all other children, however. they soon grew tired of this and began playing the Vir- ginia Heel, hunt the thimble and other similar games. When it was time for refreshments the little girls and boys sat on the floor and ate popcorn and stick candy out of huge paper bags. They also had pink lemonade and chew- ing gum. By this time it was quite late for chil- dren to be out and so the party broke up. All had a fine time, even little Luna who cried often during the evening for Garth kept taking her doll away from her. However, peace was restored and they all went home happy.

This was probably in 1819, the school being taught by Thomas White. At this time the school was necessarily small, but as years passed, and the town grew the interest in education increased and, al- though school was taught in several log cabins at different places about the town. the school trustees finally combined interests with the members of the Congregational church and erected the building on West Main Aye., that stood for more than sixty years, and was re- cently dismantled to make room for the new Carnegie Libiary. The upper portion of the Congregational church was used for house of worship and the basement was used for a school house and was, for a time, called Greenville Academy. Considerable difficulty was experi- enced in raising the necessary amount of money to carry out this project and it was only after Captain A. L. Saunders had been dispatched to Boston, on foot, to raise funds that it was a success. For a time the school flourished under the management of Socrates Smith, John Marston and others. When the common school law was passed by the legislature, the trustees concluded to take the advantages it offered, to the church, but the academy proper was used as a school room for many years after, and was used as a primary room until the present Central School 51 building' was ercctcd in 1553-1. According to the oldest schmdu.e of school records. William Cunningham was the first principal 1855. Mr. Cunningham taught for seven years. Following Mr. Cunningham were H. B. Taylor, Charles C'aikg Mrs. Phoebe F. Clark to fill the vacancy because of the resig- nation of her husband: Itey. Thomas W. Hynes: R. L. Muddg Miss Florence Holdeng James A. Dean. James A..Dcan was succeeded by Prof. S. M. lnglis, who held the principalship for fifteen years. and to his untiring zeal and abil- ity as a teacher is due, in a large measure, the high standard which the school has at- tained and which has given it a reputation for excellence a'l over lllineis. Mr. Inglis intro- duced the graded systfin and added the high school. ized the Alpha Society of members of the high school, and, in about 1873, the Alumni Associ- ation. He resigiied to accept the chair of mathematics at Carbondale, which position he held until elected siate superintendent of pub- lic instruction. A. K. Carmichael came next and was fol- lowed by J. B. Burns, who added Latin to the course. Next came D. W. Lindsay, who made a special feature of music and remained in Greenyile six years. Prof. J. T. Ellis of Carbondale was next employed. He introduced several new fea- tures, increasing the high school course to four years. He received 55125 a month. M. G. Clark succeeded Prof. Ellis. He was succeeded by Prof. W. Duff Piercy, fresh from McKendree college at Lebanon. He was, after two years, succeeded by Prof. E. B. llrooks, who after two years was succeeded by Prof. C. N. Peak. Pi'of. Peak was succeeded by Prof. S. S. Simpson Cpon the resignation of S. S. Simpson, Prof. A. W. Niedermcyer was chosen acting superintendent on June 9, 1915. ln May 1914, Mr. Niedernieyer had been elected principal of the l-ligh School. Prior to his coming here he had graduated from Millikin Cniversity. and had been superintendent of schools at Atwood. He served as superintendent up until June 1917, when he declined a re-election in order to accept the superintendeney of the Gibson City Schools. Alex. Long, who came to Green- ville as principal of the high school in 1915, b1f f'01l0tl Mi'. Niedermeyer as superintendent at the beginning of school in the fall of 1917. ln 1859 the brick school building was built on the site of the present Central School building and its erection was quite a local event. Many at that time opposed the erection of that building as a wasteful expenditure. The present Central school building was erected in 1894. Since Ithen, because of lack of room for the grade pupils, a ward school was built in the east part of town. lt was named the Inglis School in honor of the late S. M. Inglis. Hecause ot' the increasing enrollment of the high school it was decided that a separate high school building should be erected. For- merly the high school met in the Central school building. Accordingly, in the summer of 1915 a splendid :ind modern new high school was built. The members of the Board of Educa- tion at the time were:AW. H. Hubbard, Pres., H. S. Browne, Sec., Dr. N. H. Jackson, R. W. Wilson. G. V. Weise, li. E. Wise, G. Il. Hoiles. CLASS UF 1873 ' Mary Baker Chas. F. Clark lda Cornell-Mrs. James D. Clarkson Florence H. Holden+Mrs. Mathews E. W. McFerris-Mrs. J. D.

Suggestions to the Freshie In preparing this tremendous work the author has had constantly one object in view. Namcly, to prepare a compendium of useless and bewildering information, which in addition to the already great intelligence of the Freshie, will convey him safely through his first few weeks at school devoid of the many petty blunders which are usually committed by the rest of his kind. With this humane object in view every expense has been spared and the author has unselfishly and tirelessly devoted no time whatever to the production of this work in order that it might be the worst of its kind. With a deep sense of mortification the author wishes to take this opportunity to ex- tend his sincere sympathy to all who have in anyway helped to make this article impossible. A Typical Conversation Between a Scholar and His Teacher Mr. Greer:-What are the powers of a city council? Leroy Welch:-They make laws for the advancement of cities. Mr. Greer:--Do you mean the extending of the city limits? Leroy:-No that is not what I mean. Mr. Greer:-Well I don't just exactly see what you do mean. Leroy:-Well for the growth of the city. Mr. Grer:-Oh I see when a city grows they want more laws. Leroy:--No I mean for the welfare of the city. Mr. Greer:--Well now just what are some of the things which that will include? Leroy:-I don't know. Mr. Greer:-I didn't think you did. As Whittier wrote it:-Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, I might have been. As Raymond thinks it should be:-Of all sad words of tongue or pen the saddest are these, I've tiunked again. Why is the engine in a Ford easy to start? Miss Sprowls.-I don't know anything about such complicated machines. Kingsbury Browne in English III:-Well, they all kissed each other and bid each other goodbye, and-and-and-well they-de- part-ed. Mr. Long.-What big drive is on in Europe now? Mona.-To whip the Dutch. Miss LeVien.-Does anyone know where Lehman is today? Clyde,-He is absent. Miss LeVien fjust before exams!-What is a good scientific definition of a nut? Fern Blizzard Knot seeing the pointl- lt is a specimen of the human race whose men- tal faculties are slightly deranged. Wanted By Della Smith-A way to chew gum without being seen. Fred Estes-Somebody to protect him from the girls. Ray Sharp-Something to do. Mr. Ferguson-Order in the assembly room. Helen Mackey-Something to eat in Anci- ent History class. Miss Sprowls-Some other color of hair. Paul Cline-An effective method of self defense. Proverbs and Beautitudes A good stand-in is rather to be chosen than great riches, and the favor of a teacher rather than silver and gold. The use of a pony is the beginning of wis- dom, and the knowledge of it is understanding. The wise student laugheth at the jokes of his teachers and is passed, but the foolish smileth not and is flunked. Boast not of the grades that are to come, for thou knowest not what a teacher may do. The eyes of the teachers are everywhere beholding the bad and the good. lf thy neighbor is flunking give him thy paper to copy, and thou shalt be blest. The prudent forsceth an exam. and cram- meth for it, but the simple discerneth not and is flunked. As cold water is to thirsty soul,so are good grades on a report card. Trust not to thy own calculation, but be wise in knowledge of an answer book. Blessed is he that expecteth nothing in the way of grades for he shall not be dissa- pointed. As Mayard wound his watch, Mr. Long turned around, saying: Where is the Ford? 32? Mrs. Cannon:-Lucien, are you here to- day ? Lucien, twanting to get out of recitingj :- No, ma'am. War is hell. -Sherman. Frank Chasey.-l'll bet the old boy never took algebra. Miss Sprowls.-Why are bicaramel houses so named? George.-I supyose because they are bound together. Mr. Long assigned some work. Pearl Riley.-l think we are doing a good deal now. Mr. Long, ljust after getting marriedlz- I know you areg but one is hardly ever loaded down but what they can take on something more. Ebert in physics:--l wonder where my batteries arc. Here are some. l'll just take these. Miss Sprowls Claterl:-l wonder where that simple-minded person is who took those batteries. Ebert gazed innocently out of the window. Mr. Greer.-Give date of the discovery of America, also the discoverer. Doug Hewes.-Columbus discovered Amer- ica, in 1942. Mr. Greer.-Altie what is your argument for women suffrage? Altie:-I think women should vote because the men do. Mr. Greer.-That is a very poor argument. Mrs. Cannon.-Paul, why haven't you your lesson today ? Paul.-Lucien told' me the lesson was one you had about three days ago. Lucien.-I thought he needed the review. Mrs. Cannon.-How very thoughtful of you, Lucien. Paul Cline:-Are the beats for which there is no name in scansion called dead beats ? Ready Causey.-Gee, I wish I was as stout as you. George Watson.-You will have to eat roasting ears a while yet. Student.-When I get into business I ex- pect to get paid for what I know rather than what I do. Mother Student.-You ivon't be rich then. Prof. Ferguson:-You know it is a great temptation for people to jump over bridges and thus commit suicide, its-1its- well of course it is-itv -well---well its a great temptation. Equipment Although the school furnishes a desk and waste-basket the following articles have been found by actual experience to contribute to one's personal comfort: Two large cushions. One box assorted rubber bands. One bean shooter. One collapsible looking glass. One foot stool. One squirrel dog. One box of tacks. Needle and thread. 'Not necessary. One paper of pins. One pocket size victrola. 'One set of school books. One ear trumpet. One wireless outfit. One little gem oil stove. One 12 foot step ladder. One make-up outfit. One set shock-absorbers. One alarm clock. Ileport ment On reaching school, go directly to the Principal and introduce yourself. Be cordial and friendly. Greet him with some jocular remark like, Well, here l am Old Hoss! How d'you like me? He may appear embarrassed, but do not notice that. Make him see that you are his friend. If you do not like the seat that is assigned to you, say so. The Principal will perhaps let you take your choice. After you have decided on a seat, carve your name on it with your knife to prevent any one else from claiming it. When the bell rings do not wait until your row is called but arise at once and go out of the room. The teacher will think that you are eager to get to your class and to work and will no doubt approve of the habit. lf you wish to whisper, merely hold up your hand. The teacher will give his assent by nodding his head. lf he refuses, however, go right ahead and talk. Let him see that you are not to be trifled with. A To successfully pass a note, put it in a large envelope and address to the King of England. Your teacher will be easily deceived by this little bit of stratagem, and besides they will hesitate about interfering with the King's mail. If you are caught playing truant simply tell your Principal that you were taking your summer's vacation on the installment plan. He will be greatly pleased by this business- like reply and will, in all probability give you a permanent vacation. Attempt to relieve the monotony of study by little witticisms and humorous comments. For example, when your teacher is calling the roll and your name is called, say in a sarcastic tone of voice, naw, I'm not here, l'm at home seeding cucumbers. He will be charmed at your quick wit and will probably mention it to the entire class. If you see any of your fellow students break- ing any of the rules of the school, go at once and tell the teacher. This will make the rest of the students love you and they will respect your justice-loving qualities that lead you to do it. lf you feel that your Principal is lacking in a few minor respects, talk it over with him in a patient, sympathetic manner. if you think he is in trouble offer to lend him a couple of dollars. These little attentions will make him love and respect you. Discourage the use of waste-baskets. An absence of these add to the neat appearance of any school-room. You can help to do this by throwing all your scrap-paper and pencil shav- ings on the floor. The janitor will approve of this also, as it will save him the trouble of emptying the waste-baskets. When you see that youi' quickness and natural ability are placing you ahead explain to your fellow students your good qualities. At the same time tell them kindly about their ownldefects. Do this in public so that you can not be accused of favoritism. While you are in the hospital send for a bible and look up Daniel, fifth chapter, twentieth verse. -Frank Chasey.
