PURPIVE AND WHITE. 17 Jud’s maddened soliloguy which was reaching explosion point was caused to end of a sudden, by a maze of papers blowing across the walk. He came to himself at once. In front of him stood a dismayed- looking girl with books scattered before her and papers flying over the grass. ‘‘Jud” was chivalrous at all times and immedi- ately began to gather up the scattered papers. He handed them to her and with a smile she said ‘‘Thank you.’’. ‘‘Jud”’ tipped his hat, and as he walked on toward thecollege, life seemed at least a little brighter. ie soliloquizing but thoughts were of a different trend for pres- was again his ently he said, ‘‘I never did like red hair, but then auburn. her hair wasn’t red—it was She wasn’t pretty—just chic— the time but she did have eyes.’’ By “Jud”? reached the college, he mounted the steps with a lighter heart and thought things weren’t so black after all, as he heard one of the boys say, ‘‘Game looking chap. Don’t you say so, fellows?” The first day passed and ‘‘Jud’’ guessed that books were not so hateful, and then, too, ‘they were ‘deucedly’ nice to a new fellow.’’ The next morning he saw the same girl “Jud’’ wondered if He cast a furtive glance at ‘hey were fastened securely in He looked from the books to her face.

RURPLE AND WELD. “Our Boys. the Cordu rys.”” IRENE JPVAN, 'O” HE “Corduroy Bunch” nor tong ago, On a vacation decided to go, And so these boys with the new jeans, Decided at once on expedient means. Dirt slinging by all was tho’t to be best, By which to gain the longed for rest. Well, the deed was soon done, But, nay! not so, the fun, For at 3:15, dismissal time, For this dire, monstrous crime, Six awful, dreadful, terrible boys— ay 1) er All, of course, the faculty’s joys Were summoned before that tribunal great, Where the dread faculty in power sate, And received their desired punishment, While a look of calm contentment O’er all their faces began to spread, When their awful (?) judgment was read, For all were suspended for a whole week And told at once that they must sneak. The days of the next week were awfully dal], ’ Twas impossible to stand such a lull, And so to liven things up a bit, Even though the Prof. did have a fit, The girls decided to rough-house some, Until the (dear) faculty should come, And then all were to make a great hike And in every direction to hit the pike; But they hardly began to have their fun When the great Prof. appeared on the scene Fer they had regained their dignified mein, And began to apply his ‘‘“Murphy game,” And of course the results were the same. Then once for all, for their own gain, They decided to let things, the same, remain. The slow week finally is past, And ‘The Corduroys”’ we see at last. And ’tis hoped they’ll be missed Never more! !!! For their whole week’s rest, Was a terrible bore (to the girls). Athletics. C, E.

On the track or in the field we took no account of the lack of good hard muscle. There being but few boys left in the school from last year’s team, we did not try. Tennis is getting to be quite a fad with some of the pupils.

Baseball fever is prevalent and we can see most of the boys on the diamond after 3:15. We expect some real warm games in the future with High Schools of other towns. In this line we have many to pick from, as many of the boys can play ball if they cannot do anything else. The present line-up is not wholly secure; at least that is what Captain Hall says. Foot ball and basket ball were agitated during the tall months, but no games were played asthe lack of spirit prevailed very strongly. The G. A. A. and the B. A. A., better known asthe Girls’ Athletic Association and the Boys’ Athletic Association, have some money on hand and they expect to have a joint supper some nice evening before school ends, so we have something in view. == “The Way of a Boy.’”’ IRENE TIRZA BRYAN, ’06.

THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT. “What has become of the commercial department?’’ This question is frequently asked by persons interested in, though not directly connected with, High School work. We think it expedient, therefore, to say something in this issue concerning this department. The commercial department is not dead, but sleepeth. The course was instituted in the High School in September of 1903, and placed in charge of Mr. C. E. Haas. It continued under his management for two years, at the end of which time it graduated a small though successful class. For several reasons this department did not prove satisfactory to the faculty. One reason that pupils entering High School are so deficient in spelling, English, arithmetic and so on that much time has Was
