TRUE BLUE 4 year’s work. There are some however who do not take advantage of spring and what it brings with it. These persons loiter about and do not seem to have awakenod to the fact that spring has arrived. Such people should have the heartfelt sympathy of everyone who is not in the same condition. But on the other hand there is such a thing as showing our appreciation of spring with too much vigor. Many enter upon the reign of spring with so much physical vigor that their mental activities are permitted to run slack. This of course leads to and fosters neglect in our school work. Now that we have seen the two extremes in the enjoyment of spring and its benefits, let us shape our conduct accordingly that we may enjoy the greatest possible benefit and may the work of every student end prosperously, both that of those who have been negligent during the first of the year and those who have kept up the standard from the beginning. Principal’s Column. The pupils of the Hudson high school are to be congratulated upon the fact that the citizens of our city so unanimously voted to provide them with a splendid library. It is fortunate that such a generous offer came from Mr. Carnegie and that we are in a posi- tion to accept it. One of the earliest issues of the True Blue lamented the ab- sence of library advantages in Hudson under the caption “Hudson’s Shame.” Hudson has nobly vindicated herself and has taken her place among Wisconsin’s most progressive town intellectually. With the advantages this library will give us, Hudson should become one of the educational centers of this section of the state. Pupils going to the universities and colleges find one of their greatest weaknesses to be, inability to use reference books. If we make the proper use of our new library, our pupils will not be lack- ing in this regard. It is going to mean more in the future to be a high school graduate. Courses in literature, science, history, etc., are as thorough in the high schools today as they were in colleges twenty- five or thirty years ago. To be a high school graduate adds dig- nity. One who has completed the course is looked upon as one who appreciates intellectual things and has attained a certain stand-

The good old spring-time lias anived with all its charms and facinations. Mother Nature lias brought us another of those sea- sons which is eagerly awaited. It is the time of the year when much of our time is spent outside enjoying the fragrant air. Everyone feels younger and his blood flows faster as he inhales the balmy air. The influence of spring is exceedingly gratifying and it makes us feel that life ie really worth living. This applies especially to the student who has been confined to his winter quarters. He has had a wholesome longing for spring to come and now his expectations have been realized, fie has a chance to put his unused energies to work and he feels free. The bonds of winter have been removed and he can do as he pleases without restraint. This wonderful influence of spring not only refreshes our physical but alsoour mental activities and our minds are in prime condition to act freely. This will assure a good ending for the
