In addition to the distinction as to intellectual acquirement, graduation distinguishes one as having completed a definite task, as having persevered and finished something begun.

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-

6 TRUE BLUE “We’re sailing east, we’re sailing west.” This was sung by Belle Hayes and Albert Lyksett one day when they changed their seats. (4th German translation)—“He was over head and ears in debt.” Bright Pupil—“If he was over his head he must have been over his ears.” Teacher—“Well, I am sure I don't know.” Another Bright Pupil—“He probably went in head Grst.” Mr. Mclver was absent from school a few days last month on account of sickness. We were all glnd to see him back. The 4th. Literature class has turned into a Sunday school class since starting Dryden’s “Religio Laiei.” Youngster—“Why don’t you wash that sweater of yours John?” John—“Ah! g’vvan! I washed it a long time ago.” John Lake has had his sweater washed. John Howard has a new clock that really tells time. “Earnest, if I hear that again I will send you from class.” Be careful what you say Earnest. Candidates for the baseball team have made their appearance and if the weather permits we will soon be off. “Shorty Maxwell” gave us the original “buck and wing” dance not long ago in the labratory, while he had hold of the handles on a wire leading from an induction coil with nearly all the dry cells we could find. It pleased all, and Maxwell was glad when it was over. The classes in Geometry have Gnished Plane and commenced Solid. We wish them success in their new undertaking.
