Text from Pages 1 - 124 of the 1911 volume:

Foreword With the work of compiling this book completed, and before sending it to the printer, we wish to add a final word. We have put our best into this t ook; we have endeavored as far as possible, to reproduce in its pages the school—its spirit, its work, its good fellowship. And if you. in glancing over its pages, can derive the pleasure we have experienced in making it; it will be, in the fullest sense of the word, a success. Raw! Raw! Raw! PARIS!

In our last lesson we spoke of—. —Miss Bertha Miller. MISS BERTHA MILLER. Wc have a splendid faculty, we have a new building, we have a live enthusiastic «fode I body, we have a generous and intelligent school board.—and to crown all ac have Miss Bertha Miller as principal. As long as we arc fortunate enough to have her with us every student is confident of a “square deal: every teacher is given to work under a capable head, every member of the board i sure of the standard of superior work. Due to her work and influence. Paris High occupies the enviable lead it hold� among the high schools of Eastern Illinois, and with her continued guidance assured, we .cannot but advance to a place of higher efficiency and usefulness. ELLA REID SLEMMONS. If President Taft would only refer the tariff question, the reciprocity bill, the Mexican uprising, and the territorial expansion and international arbitration move- ment to «.nr Miss Slemmons. and her political economy class, we feel sure that this assembly would settle them all in the morning, and proceed to annex Canada in the afternoon. The air gets so thick with discussion and dehate it has to be shovelled out at the end of the hour. Of course in addition to this she teaches medieval and modern history and has time in between to make warm friends among the student boJy. HELEN MILLER. Mis Miller’ sanctum is room No. .L where under the double eagle, and the approv- ing eye of Bismarck, she teaches Deutsch and Junior English. Her standard of work i so high that you must get a step ladder to reach the level of her classes. I might add. that when you flunk the drop is correspondingly unpleasant She i small and petite, but like the ancient mariner “she fixes you with her glittering eye. while y u alas stand still, you look, and feel like thirty cents. Miss Miller has her will. She takes a personal interest in the student who really work, and is ready at all times in school or out. to lend a helping hand in amputating the feet of a lame verse, or plastering together a weary theme. Hoch! I er Vaterland.”—Miss Helen Miller. CAROLINE LOUISE WENZ. Photo by Jay. ETHEL E. HCWELL. l-.ioto by Jay. Photo by Jay. O. R. JONES. Yes indeed—I’m a cousin of Casey Jones. —0. R. Jones. CAROLINE LOUISE WENZ. Mi� � Wenz occupies the Chair of English Language and Literature in the University of Paris- Under her supervision we take a personally conducted tour from the Epic to the Short Story, stopping at Julius Caesar. The House of Seven Gables; and visiting the Merchant of Venice, and Macbeth and hi naughty wife. Also as she i intimately aciiuainted with all the past masters. We arc introduced to Mr. Milton. Mrs. Mary Ann Evans, and (till Shakespeare. We wish to recommend this trip to all those interested in literature, and wish our capable and kind'y guide the best of success in her future tours. ETHEL E. HOWELL. For a long time the Latin students have trembled at tlic sight of. and admired from afar, our Latin teacher. Miss Howell. We feel sure that if the old l.atin worthies were suddenly resurrected, she would correct their grammar with the same impas- sioned manner that she pick to pieces our fluent (?) translation� . A touching ability—why she chiseled Caesar. Cicero and Vergil into the heads of the departing Seniors, a task difficult enough to baffic the most competent educator. We hope she will linger long in our midst and instruct the youth in the mysteries of lingua Ciceroni . O. R. JONES Xs 2 X y y2” V t2 A [ “]” We feel «ure th.v. if the brain of Prof. O. R. Jones, our Math, instructor and faculty manager, were dissected, his grey matter would be mathematically arranged, and geometrically «haped. with the proof for the entire affair neatly inscribed on his pia mater. And, Shades of Demosthenes! what a vocabulary! His conversation re- semble a heavy freight train—long and well loaded. He i the only man. whore Johnsonian accents can persuade Harris to unlock a door, or turn on the hot water. He i an authority on all matters of athletics and training, and his efficient manage- ment of the basketball team, helped them in large measure to make stirh a glorious recoid in 'll. Pretty, blue eyed maiden.”—Cora Jacobs. CCRA JACOBS. Photo by Jay. ANNA LITTLEFIELD. I- K lo by Jay. Photo by Jay. M. C. LATHtKS. ‘We have with us this morning. —Mr. Brooks. CORA JACOBS. After a meteoric career in Illinois where she scooped both her B, A., ami M. A. in four years. Miss Jacobs condescended to make her home in our midst, and instruct the youth of our village in Biology. In the laboratory she torn plants and anitnais inside out, and labels their interior organs with the most technical terms. Indeed if the opportunity favored she would methodically dissect a pupil, and explain to the class, what mac!e the wheels go round. However she is very popular, especially with the fairer sex of the Sophomore Class. ANNA LITTLEFIELD. Miss Littlefield's education was secured at Chrismati. California ami Columbia. With such a cosmopolitan preparation she has settled here, and earns Iter daily bread by packing the undergraduates' skulls with English and Geometry. Miss Littlefield is a strict disciplinarian, ami it is reported she can see around corners, when mi chicf is afoot. M. C. LATHERS Hail to King Lathers! May his suds never grow less! Looking up from his scat behind the Goddess of Liberty in the Library I beheld a jubilant Freshman standing in the door. It was the first period in the morning ■ nd the Fresh who had just entered the Library had overlooked the youthful Prof, who had his back toward the door. His enthusiasm immediately subsided and he slunk towards a chair. In vain- -he was collared”—well, you know Mr. lather's reputation for a disciplinarian. Nttff sed. Mr. Lathers, in tilling the vacancy left by the late Mr. Kellogg, has been elected to shake the skeleton before the Physiology class. Also does he instruct the first year students in Math, to the satisfaction of all concerned. And last but not least is he guardian of the upper hall and has won fame similar to that of Horatio at the Bridge by his manful attempt to stop the students at the head of the stairway during the celebration of school victory. A Paris youth (Pinckney) refereed the frame.”—Extract from Terre Haute Tribune. L. A. PINKNEY. Pftoto by Jmv. E. B. BROOKS. Photo by Jay. A. P. HARRIS. Photo by Jay. Friends—Minus quantity, after publication of Pe Aitch Ess. L. A. PINKNEY. After Mr. Pinkney had finished Wheaton College, and graduate work in the University of Chicago, and while he was casting about for more worlds to conquor. he received an invite from the hoard, to come down and teach in the livest high school in Illinois. So he came, and he may be seen gracing the Physics lab. any day. In zJdition to these pedagogical—neat little word, isn't it?—exercises, he has coached the swiftest basket ball team P. II. S. ever turned out. and has chaperoned them on their trips. Besides commanding respect as a teacher, and admiration as a man. he com- mands the liking of the students, as a friend. E. B. BROOKS. For six year , now, the Paris Public Schools have been fortunate enough to have as Superintendent. Mr. K. B. Brooks. During this time, under his able administration, two ward schools have been built, this handsome high school erected, and the teaching force at the high school increased from seven to ten, Such an advance in these line , speaks more strongly in his behalf, than any remarks can. Also he has been instru- mental in arranging and financing several lecture courses, that students might hear the best of oratory and music. Mr. Brooks i thoroughly progressive, and under his direction we look for still greater things for our school system. A. P. HARRIS. Whom should you thank when you come to school and find your corner of the room cozily warm or breezily coo! as befits the season? When your seat is nicely dusted? When the floor is neatly swept? When your rubbers are piled in geometric figures in the wardrobe? When you arc mildly rebuked in soft and gentle language for misconduct such as bringing in mud on your feet? Why. Mr. Harris, of course. This janitor man is a cog in the great machine of P- H. S. and just as important in his place as Superintendent Brooks. Mr. Harris rendered material assistance to the Basketball team this season by keeping hot water for the shower baths. In the large- ness of heart, he. several times ventured into the basketball massage parlor and offered to give the team a rubbing-down—perhaps we should have said calling-down. Well. Mr. Harris will miss the Seniors when they have gone, and we are sure that they will miss the Grand Old Man. “You may leave the room. —Miss Littlefield.

An intense desire for higher learning impelled youth to leave his rustic home in Brocton and pursue his studies here. His record in Basket Ball is A plus, and he stand� high in Class Foot Ball, lie studies occasionally—after the Basket Ball season is over. HELEN BROWN. For pretty girli� h sweetness, here it is personified in Helen, a general favorite. She has pursued well her studies, and now has the honor of ending her High School career with the memorable class of 'll. WILLIAM DAWSON. How the Stygian gloom of high school will be illuminated when the beacon light of the Senior Cia � i� gone, i� hard to conjecture. What the editor ..f the next l e Aitch Kss will do for funny dope when he departs, will be a problem hard to solve As Vice-President of the mighty class of 'll. he has perftrmed the duties which devolved upon him with the simple and severe dignity which always marks his conduct. The only original phantom quarterback.— Dena” Arbuckle. NELLE WINN. There is a legend to the effect that Nellc once lost her good humor. If she «lid r.obody ever succeeded in finding it. Talk about an accomplished rag artist When she play, your feet can t keep still. What will the Glee Club do without her next year? One shudders to imagine. BYRON MAXWELL. Hat. off to Ityron! If it were not for Max, the reputation of the Seni«ir boy tv as true lady killers would be very low indeed. This Beau Brummel set the fashion for the school especially in the way of neckwear where he certainly is original. This young man came to us from Marshall and we hate to see him go as bad a. we were glad to see him come. This other .light little maiden—this is Marie-Miss Mullins. I mean. Isn't she nice. So pleasant and friendly yet «,uitc shy. She is quite as necessary to the Semi- Chorus with her tine alto voice as he is to our class.

One final question, what doe she mean when she says Ming? WILLARD CRYDER. Not second to Pipe � grin is Fcrdic � gracious -mile. J. W. C. give out for publication that this smile was developed only as a result of many years of cultivation chiefly in Paris. Detroit, and Texas. Cryder in his Junior year tried out for the position of center on the foot ball team but was displaced by his speedier cousin Waldo the Mighty. Willard takes keen delight in fussing the girls, and making A grades. His jolly good humor has won him many good friends. If you dont believe it. ask Tubby. MARGARET HODGE Do wc like Peggy? Well. I guess. And we feel sure She'll make a good Bess.'' May she return from that far-away shore With her heart and her hand all safely in store. PAUL CORNWELL Hark! List to the foot prints! 'Tis the onrush of a victorious army. We wait patiently for the heavy tramping army but Paul Cornwell, alia Soak. i� the only tramp that comes into view. His heavy footprint is well known to the teacher in charge but this -ante weight has stood him in good stead upon the football field. This excellent young man pursues a German course, disdaining the aid of the alluring pony. As a tenor in the Glee Club he ranks among the highest, taking A with ease. Se? me for Quaker Oats smile.”—“Ferdie.” Photo by Jay. HILAH LINK. And the dainty little maiden who come tripping along so light and airy, its- llilah Jane, don't you know her? W'e all do. Since her entrance into the rank of old I . H. S. he has proved herself worthy of that institution and has been an important addition t � our Semi-Chorus. BRUCE BUCKLER Buck hasn't been with u long, but he has made good alright, lie carries five studies, a glin that wont rub off. and his classic head with ta«e and eclat. Although a gc: eral tar, his spiels in Dcutsch atjd English arc the most famous. RUTH MALLORY. Is there any one who doesn't know and like Ruth, or Blondy. She is in. the Semi-Chorus and take part in the cla play, with a grace and sweetness all her own. Arriving from the wilds of Decatur two years ago, she ha made firm friends, w ho will tearfully hid her adieu. CLAUDE WILKINS. Although he comes from the wild jungle, he has been with I . II. S. long enough to become thoroughly civilized. Shorty the Shark’ reason for coming to school i that he may apply the principles of Geometry, Physics and Chemistry to his f-rm and to do all he can toward raising the farmers' standard. On account of his noble ideals he has no time for smaller trirtes but outside of school he is one of the jollies! fellows in the class. “That silvered tongued orator. —Buckler. Pholo by Jay. ELLA MAXWELL. There'� Ella too. hc passes us so modest am! quiet that you might think that we hardly notice her. but we do. and take «real | ridc in her brilliant work in German IV where she represents the intelligence and superiority of our clas� a a whole? MICHAEL SCULLY. Michael Scully, in other words Mike, a wonderful specimen of old Ireland. He is still more wonderful as a base ball player, having starred in this line o: athletics for the la«t four years. Oh. yes. he is trying for a job as teacher, and if he gets it we will all start to school again. KARL GUMM. begin at the ground and go up six feet three ami three twenty-thirds inches, go about two feet east and west. Attach solid foundations to the wiioic and cap it with a large head set with eyes, teeth, and other necessaries, and you have a faint idea of K. Gumm, Sergeant in the Cadet Company and basket ball man. He has a most refreshing sense of humor and a laugh like a pet cyclone. When lie goes I’. II. S. loses some real class. DON HAMILTON. Oh. the Irish! The Irish! You find 'em everywhere. The above refrain floated out of the window and I recognixed the mellow—very mellow—tenor voice of Don Hamilton. This young man is the personification of innocence, never being suspected of a wrong deed by the faculty. Of course this is all true enuff but—Fid©, will you pie sc lie still? As an athlete ••llammy” uses his weakly frame to good advantage and made a good sub on the immortal basketball learn of '11. and on the track is a fast man. Mr. Hamilton has confided to us his hesitation in choosing a subject for his thesis, yet favors the two following: The Bruno vs. the Blondette;” The Advan- tages of the Bttckboard Over the Phaeton.” “Has anybody here seen Scully?” ■■hot� by jay. RUTH CORNWELL. Still another Ruth, a bine-eyed little Madchen, the delight of German IV and the delight of all those who know her. Iler sunny disposition and her unfailing Kood humor have won her a place in our heart and we hate to sec her go. No doubt he will teach school and be looked up to a much by her pupils a by all the Seniors. FAUVER HUSTON. Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Huston—Fauver Huston. Ever since I walked into High School, four long years ago. I have been more than successful. This year I am sergeant in the the Cadet Company and captain of the Basketball leant. Although my departure from school will be the occasion for much grief, the blow will fall hardest upon the Political Economy Class My thesi is The Pompadour as a Beauty Asset. FORREST LEIST. Then l.cist. who has been with us four long years departs this year. He is modest, unassuming and always keeps his temper except when he play basketball- He is sergeant in the Cadet Company and one of the male triumvirate who indulged in Latin for four long years without any marked ill effect. ALLEN BRUBAKER. Alas! Spiegel our own inimitable Spiegel departs from these classic hall and after hi deep draught of the Pierian spring, goes out intub the battle of life. His eruptions in English class will be missed next year. He will also be nii« cd by all the teams to which he was a faithful and tireless aspirant. l-ong may he live and con- tinue t visit Terre Haute where his presence in the Grand opera house is unfailing. Always catch the ball before you throw it.”—Huston. GLADYS MUSGRAVE. Would you think her a dignified Senior? Not l y her size. for she is small of stature, but great in wisdom. Why she has even taught school. A sch-iolmarm of two years experience adds so much to the intellectual standing of the class. 1 his is her first year with us. but it «cents as if we had known her always. Her ready laugh and pleasant smile have made Mussy” a great favorite. So it is wi:h regret that we say “Auf Wiedersehn.” to Gladys. ROLAND BROOKS. What will become of the track team when Brooks, hero of a ‘Core of meets, crack half-milcr. and cadet captain, departs the-e classic halls! lie s li::le feu: O my he only hits high places when he gets started. We hope he w:ll continue at this pace, and win out handily in the race of life. RUTH FLANIGAN. The prodigy- A mind full of wonderful workings. She will be grea; some day we know. But sh!—be |uict she would be entbarassed if she knew we were talking so. Here's a tiger for Flanigan. HOWARD PIPER. What is that shining light? you ask. Verily, tis the reflection from Piper's grin. For four long years it has been the beacon light of the class of eleven. He is carry- ing five studies but they don't interfere with his good times. We are happy to know that Howard s future career has been determined. He is apprenticed to the plumbers trade and will settle down for life as soon as school is over. If domestic troubles darken the horizon Piper has another candidate in view at Marshall. The light of thy gracious smile.”—“Pipe.' PlKIO by Jay FAYE MOSS.

Assistant Kditor-in-Chief ef the Pe Aitch Ess, heartless ladykiller and star in several classes. 'I he«i‘— A Defense of the Johnsonian Style. GLADYS WESTBROOK. Let me present Miss Westbrook. Oh! pardon me. yon all know her. Then you have probably heard of her knowledge and brilliancy along all lines. But she never lets her studies interfere with her health and good nature for she is round and good natured as can be. Here's hoping she may always remain so. WILLIAM FOLEY. I-or he a jolly good fellow! As cheer leader, track man. German quiz star, leader of innumerable class scraps, and good fellow in general. Bill—just plain Bill- lias shown his versatility. Many times he has been on the “carpet. yet just as many tunes has he emerged smiling and unshaken in his calm poise. Among the fair ones. Willie is not slow for he has a fondness for a blonde lower classmaiden not to men- tion a similar liking for a dark-haired maiden of Marshall. William is also the pride and pet of Mr. Brook� and the Juniors who take much pride and evince much interest in his various exploits. The only original Latin star.—Fte Moss. Photo !� ' Jay. RUTH CURTIS. A long. 1im. stick one. You a-k me who «hi other tall «iri is? Why. «hi is Ruth, or “Si.” our esteemed proxy of the Semi-Chorus. True, during class time, she is very «|uict and the delight of her teachers, but out of school she i- not the same demure maiden. She is jollity personified, and the life of the bunch. One even forgets the awe. one looks up to her in school, when she recites with the wisdom of a __a Senior, on the parts we had passed over as too hard. e wish all Seniors were leaving the brilliant showing our black-eyed Ruth has made.

As class treasurer he was a distinct hit. for he is able to produce the impression that he is conferring a favor by accepting the filthy lucre of yours, lie is an imposing sight in a cadet uniform, and of course, is a lathes’ man: at present a Sophomore girl is his proud possessor. MARGUERITE BRIDGMAN. You ask who is that stately fair one descending the stair-? That, my child, is a certain Miss Bridgman—Marjorie, by name. The personification of dignity, perfectly faultless, faultlessly perfect. But hist! shc'approches. I.et us retire! CLEO JENKINS. As star in the Physics class ’’Jenks.’’ in other words Clco Jenkins, is receiving his initiation into the mysteries of the fair sex. at the “IJib” table where he has two fair Senior girls under his jurisdiction. He talks but little, but when he does speak his words have weight. Jenk's stride is the admiration of all the girls, lie's a cor- poral in the Cadet Company and a general good fellow, and P. II. S- will miss him when 'i 1 is gone. ‘Count on me to do my ‘Best.’ ”—Miss Bridgeman. LLOYD LAMB. In the two years that l-ambic” has been with u he has won a place among us! With his deep bass voice and diminutive stature he pursues hi way in his eager search for knowledge. Vermillion was fortunate enough to have been the birthplace of this young hero, and every morning lie leaves its crowded streets for gay Paris. In Physics. Lloyd is the only original. Mr. Lamb favors the city on the Wabash for the musical comedy, and hi favorite saying is Come on. fellows; this one's on me Sorry we didn't have you four year . Lambic. MARIE WRIGHT. Is Marie right? Surely; Always right, always Wright. If you have any doubts, ask any of the class or a certain boy. who reside north of the city. She should also be given credit for her singing and her splendid work in the Captain of Plymouth. Watch for her to shine in the class play. CLAUDE REED. Here's to Opie. May hi shadow never grow lc ! This young man—the prima donna of the Glee Club—is a worthy successor of “Waldo the Bulky. Perhaps he not |uitc so much overweight, but just iat enough to be jolly. Opie is famous for his hospitality, and hi open house of 1911 is as famous among the Seniors who were fortunate enough to be included in the invitation . In a literary way lie doe his namesake credit, and he served with distinction as Debater-in-Chicf of Miss Slent- mon's Political Economy Class. The many clever jokes of the volume are indirectly the labor of this man's hand , for he holds the responsible position of Senior Personal Editor. Editor's Xote—It is sai«l that Opie in a tit of abstractedness once had a date. BERTHA JONES.

Noted in the Senior Cla s for his brilliant recitations in Economics. and who has for his motto: Gripe and the world gripes with you: smile, and you smile alone. CHARLES WENDEL. We'll surely miss “CussieV giggle next year. Ever since his entrance two years ago. he ha been the life of the class. He i the other Itrocton delegate that has helped to raise the class of it to its highest standard. lie ha been interested in all kinds of athletics, and as fullback on the Senior football team, he walked through the pposing line as it it was not. In spite of his long cognomen—Charles Augustus Wcndcl he i inclined to be short and chunky. Charles i« hooked for Illinois next year and we know he will make good. SYLVIAN SHOLEM. A wonderful man was Caesar. and in managing the financial part of the Annual “Sid” has shown himself to be quite as wonderful a when he played the role of Miles Standish. As second lieutenant of the Cadet Company, he presents a command- ing figure. and we recommend that lie be decorated for bravery in the famous battle of Stepp's Station. Lieutenant Sholem has not yet been injured on the field of action, but if occarion presented itself, we feel sure lie would prove as capable a commander of the army as he was in The Captain of Plymouth.

Senioriad--An Epic F THE Class of ’ll. I sing, first from the familiar sur- roundings of the eighth grade, driven by the onward rush of time, came in the fall of 1907 to the portals of P. H. S. and to the lot of Freshmen. Much har- assed were these Freshmen, both in school and out. on account of the unrelenting rage of cruel Vance and sneers of the upper classmen. Be with me. O. Muse! Be with me in brief description of these people of ’ll, of their trials and tribulations, of their successes and conquests! Again I say, much suffered these people in those Dark Days,” but occasionally gleams of light prophetic of the future would flash through the murky gloom of traditional oppression and give encouragement to the hearts of the struggling mem- bers of the class. Having passed through those times of hardship and de- spair. uttering many times the stoical remark, “Sic est vita.” they came at last to the Hesperian shores of Sophomor- ism. Here the class of 101! established itself firmly in the affairs of P. H. S. and introduced its beliefs and doctrines without delay In commemoration of its death as the Fresh- man Class, funeral games were ordered and the remaining tribes of the school were invited to participate. The chief sport selected was basket ball and the youths of 1911 rallied to the support of class spirit amid the joyful shouts of their maidens. As the loud trumpet gave the signal, the young men of '11 sprang forward to the contest Then with the applause and uproar of their classmates and the eager acclamations of the favoring crowd, they won game after game and ruled supreme in the kingdom of basket ball. In the other forms of sport, they gained first place and not less important, they excelled in the military maneuvers of the Cadet Company. Thus the excellence of the class in all forms of athletics was proven. The time approached for the departure of the class to the Junior land. However, some feared the hardships of the journey and wished to remain Thus those who had no heed for future glory were left behind and the remainder of the I admire my hero, basketball, or otherwise.”—“Blondy.1 class, the choicest of the youths and maidens, resumed their onward march. Arriving: after three months, at their destination, the stout-hearted voyagers of 1911 at once conquered the tribes and established, once and for all, their unquestioned suprem- acy. Here in the land of Junioratis, they applied themselves with redoubled zeal to the shrine of learning and won much approval from the tutors and lusty praise from outsiders. Here performing due sacrifice to Pallas Athene, the Goddess of Learning, and to Mercury, the God of Athletics, for a period of nine months, they again embark for the place from which they shall finish the final stage of their journey. After wandering for several moons, the band of conquer- ors arrived at the appointed spot from whence they strive to reach the coveted goal of Graduation from where Tantalus beckoned so many times and, in vain, to great numbers. Honor after honor the class of 1911 reaps in every conceivable department, and a chronicle of its achievements would seem as a repetition of the deeds of the gods—not mortals. And now as the class approaches graduation with num- bers somewhat diminished, yet greater than any other that has ever accomplished the journey, festivals will be kept for weeks in the honor of their departure. On the night of June 2nd, the forty-seven heroes of 1911, with their brows wreathed in garlands, will take their places (chosen by lot) in the am- phitheatre under the blue dome of heaven for the final cere- monies. After these rites have been performed according to cus- tom, in due order, loud lamentations from the sorrowing under-grads will arise while the old world (who has received so many classes of graduates in the past ages, but none to compare with this) with wide-open arms will greet the im- mortal class of 1911 of Paris High School as it goes forth to conquer, achieve and SUCCEED! Thus, having spoken. I take my flight and vanishing in thin air. make my way to the realm of the shades below. Note Took—A thoroughly useless mode of torture, much in vogue with the faculty. —P H. S.

Elma, Margaret and Herman. “After school, what, girls? gaily sang Catherine one noon as she precipitated herself like a small whirlwind into a group of dignified Senior girls. ‘Home sweet home' for me, quickly answered Carolyn. I really want to spend one winter at home with father, mother, and Blanche. Just think. I have not been home but a short time for four years: I guess you girls would be home- sick too, if you were the baby and had to stay away from home “That's no joke, for I have been there. said Catherine. “Well, I wouldn't go away to school either if I were in Carolyn's place,” quickly responded Elma, who knew of the land possessions of Carolyn’s father. “Its your turn next.” said Rachel, pointing to Rossetta. who was looking at advertisements, having one for Arbuckle’s coffee in her hand. “I don’t know yet, answered Rossetta, blushing at being caught in the act. I rather wanted to go to a conservatory of music and specialize, but father doesn’t exactly approve of girls going to college to put in time, so I am undecided What about you, Rachel? We’re always glad to hear from ‘Si.’ Father says that now I’m nineteen. I can do as I,please, so I guess I’ll go to Oxford next year. Mother thinks I need rest, but if I go there I can get it and lots of fun. with just enough work to keep me busy,” Rachel said thoughtfully. What about Elma's future?” interrogated Catherine. “O. I'm going to be a ‘school marm’ for one year, and then go to the Illinois and lie a teacher in domestic science. You've got it all planned out. but woe be me! replied Catherine, putting on a serious face. Of course, we want to hear from Margaret Cottenhead.” Since I must tell my plans for the future I will, with “Dont let your studies interfere with your education.”—Allen. the greatest 0f pleasure. Next year I am going to college and take two years’ work Then I expect to be a librarian,” quickly responded Margaret. “Now we must hear from Catherine.” chorused all five. “I have high aspirations, but I may never be able to attain them. I have hopes of being a Latin or Geometry teacher, but the road is long and the obstacles are many, so I’m un- •decided.” “What’s up? What are all of you girls talking about?” asked Herman as he came up “We’re planning our futures.” quickly responded Ross- etta, who had laid aside her advertisements. “What do you think they will be. Herman?” “O. you ask me a weighty question for I am no prophet, but let me at least guess.” “Permission is granted,” answered Elma. as spokesman of the group. “Elma will be the principal of a girls’ seminary some- time in the future and later marry a professor who may dis- cover perpetual motion. Every little bit, added to what you got. “O dear me. how wonderful! exclaimed Catherine. “Please continue. Herman, and I will endeavor to hold my tongue.” “Catherine will be a farmer’s wife and live on love in a cottage. Carolyn will be a leader in society at the great metropolis of Wetzel and later marry a rich, old bachelor from Paris whose initials are sometimes mistaken for a large institution of that city. Rossetta will ever l e jolly and make an ideal southern planter’s wife Rachel will ever be a favorite with all people, and after breaking many hearts will finally marry a German music master, and that is all. What about Margaret? We want to hear her future.” said Carolyn. But Herman had vanished, and Margaret held a small note in her hand which read: Dear Margaret—Will you walk with me tonight, and per- haps we can make your plans for the future? Herman.

Senior Class Prophecy -----HE TERRIBLE thunder had ceased; the incessant downpour had become intermittent dashes; and the lightning. instead of ripping the darkness in ragged gashes, flickered sullenly under the spent clouds. From the black mountain aheao a lurid glow shot out of a cavern in its side, and a confused noise like the rushing of mighty waters arose from its depths. I had been appointed by my class to receive the prophecy of the witch of the mountains, concerning the futures of that marvellous assembly of future citizens, the class of ’ll. After an hour's walk through dripping thickets, and lighted by fitful lightning, I arrived at the door of the cave, and stood at its mouth, summoning the courage to enter. At last I heard a harsh voice issuing from the depths of the cave, which said: “Enter. O favored of the Cods, enter and prepare to see the Future unrolled as a curtain. Then with a hesitating step I advanced into the inky space that yawned before me. Soon I saw a faint bluish glow ahead of me. and toward it I made my way. When my eyes had become a little accus- tomed to the darkness I noticed multitudes of bats hanging from the smoky roof, and now and then the eerie cry of a screech owl made my hair rise. Suddenly the cave made an abrupt turn to the right and, in a tiny grotto sat the hag of the mountains. Small, skinny, shrivelled, she sat, mumbling an incantation with her tooth- less gums, while one twisted claw grasped a human arm with which she was stirring some horrible mixture seething in a huge cauldron before her A human skull inverted served as a lamp, which cast a sickly blue light over the scene. A huge black cat. stretched before the dying fire blinked lazily at me. and on the other side of the cave a tame wolf stopped gnawing a bone long enough to snarl at me. Startled by this noise into looking up. she pointed with her hooked claw to a stone rudely resembling a chair and when I had seated myself on it. she arose, and drew a circle in the dust around me. This done she took a strange powder, from a carved ivory casket, and cast it into the pot. Instantly a great burst of “Er—the king—that is. well—the king—well he—Sholem in History Class. steam writhed up from its depths, and l egan to assume human 3hape. Fascinated, I watched the grey steam eddying up to the ceiling and assuming a multitude of forms. Soon however it became denser, and took on an appearance that seemed at once strange and familiar. At last I recognized my class- mate. Herbert Shellenberger, much the same except for a dapper little moustache, which gave “Herbie” quite a distin- guished air. He was evidently in good humor, as well he might be. for the witch prophesied that he would win the hand of an aged but wealthy widow of Kalamazoo, and after many desperate afTairs. would settle down, to enjoy life as a gentleman of leisure. The next wraith was that of a beautiful, dark haired woman, attired gorgeously in an ermine gown, and wearing a coronet. Of course, it was Kathleen Hodge or Lady D'Arsy. bus the same winning smile told me she was the unspoiled girl of our school days. She disappeared after a gracious court bow. The next vision was rather a substantial apparition, and I soon saw it was a de luxe edition of “Sid” Sholeu. the boy financier. The witch, nodding at him, remarked, Immensely rich, associated with the Guggenheims in land deals.” He vanished in the act of cutting a block of coupons. A beautiful, imperious blonde, magnificently attired in white, next rase from the magic pot It was Peg” or rather Madge Hodge, the eminent Shakespearian actress She evap- orated reciting. Come dark night and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell—” The next figure was for a minute a puzzle to me. At last I recognized in the woe begone countenance, an expression that somehow reminded me of the famous grin of Ferdie-’ Cryder. It was indeed he. but how changed! In his arms he bore a collapsible go-cart, a basket of egg plums, and a sickle. The prophetess, giving the apparition a contemptuous glance remarked scornfully, “Family man—hen pecked husband—wife of a suffragette.” Next a trim, white aproned form appeared, and I had no difficulty in seeing in her Hilah Link. She was, the seer informed me, the head of a fashionable beauty shop, which was patronized by the aristocracy of Chicago. The following figure, as portly as of old. proved to be Opie Reed, seated at his desk, and busily scratching away. He was writing his famous work on “I,abor vs Capital—An Arraignment of Existing Conditions.” He would become the first authority on economics after graduation. Miss Mallory next floated up. and began that song and dance stunt. O You Men.” that has made her famous to vaudeville patrons the world over She would, according to the Sibyl, become a headliner and tour Europe, making a vast fortune, and at last would wed a Russian count, whose name sounded like an Esperanto convention. After her, William Foley appeared and spoke thusly, Fellow citizens, in presenting myself as a candidate for the School Board. I wish to speak a few words—at this point he disappeared, but the witch assured me that he would secure the election. Then I heard solemn words rising from the pot, and soon, slowly and majestically Mussy or Miss Gladys Musgrave. A B.. Ph. D., rose from the cauldron, wearing an academic cap and gown, and reading her thesis, “Why is a man? Now we are getting into Politics”—Miss Wenz. At this point the witch put more fuel on the coals, and stirred the horrible brew in the kettle. The blue light flickered, and the wolf arose, stretched himself, and trotted noiselessly into the night. As for me, I sat spellbound. A very stylish apparition popped out of the pot, clad in a dark uniform, and I recognized Gaumer, our class treasurer. He would become the ship’s doctor on the Lusitania and smash the hearts of all his fair patients, whom he attended so solicit- ously. He saluted with a military air am. vanished A tall, dignified shape rose sparely from the surface of the brew. It proved to be Fay Moss, with all her imposing presence. She. it seemed, was president of the Woman’s Suffrage League, and was reading a paper on The Natural Inferiority of Man. Unfortunately she vanished before her arguments convinced me. A weird, lofty apparition towered up towards the ceiling, clad in a slashed doublet and hose, of purple and orange. At last I recognized old Bone Head” Keys, in this strange guise. He was, it appeared, the leading artist of the South Bend Opera House where he had achieved a phenomenal success. He started to sing. “You Stole My Hat. Fly upon You. Fly,” when he disappeared suddenly in a burst of steam. After this a determined, and resolute maiden, who proved to be Miss Ruth Flanigan, appeared, putting some problems in calculus on the board of a class room. The witch deigned to explain she was professor of Advanced Mathematics in Wellesley where she had proven a great success. A lank, thread bare, wraith next slunk out of the cauldron, and stood tightening his belt, with a grim desperation His pockets bulged with manuscripts, and letters from publishers begging to thank him for the honor of inspecting his work, but owing to-------, etc. I recognized Elmore Allen, a classmate of mine who always cherished a desire to write, an hated honest work of every kind. After this a motley crew escaped and stood over the cauldron. It proved to be the faculty of the “Flunkum School for Boys,” which I will give below: Professor of Latin - Forrest Leist. Professor of English - - Floyd Myer. Professor of Elocution, Debate, Clifford Thomason. Professor of Mathematics - Charles Wendel. Professor of Music - - Paul Cornwell. Athletic Trainer ... Allen Brubaker. I was assured by the witch that the school was a distinct success. Next a quartette ambled up. and stood framed in the eddying steam. It was the “Climax Vaudeville Show.” It consisted of Claude Wilkins and Byron Maxwell, who as farmer and dude had a spicy dialogue, and Howard Piper, who recites, “My Night Ride to Marshall. with great effect. The fourth member was Karl Gumm, who as a dancer, has de- lighted thousands with his grace and skill. Ruth Curtis appeared reading a paper on The Future of Africa.” She was a missionary to Africa and was home on a furlough. Then as the witch was growing weary she cast a double handful of the potent powder into the pot, and with the speed of a dream, many faces passed before me. Of course. Nelle Winn was an eminent music teacher, with her metronome and roll, and Buck” was flourishing as manager of the “Winn Clothing Company.’” Our erstwhile friend William Dawson appeared, frock History repeats itself —but r.ot in Miss Miller’s Class. coated, and silk hatted, with a (lower in his button hole. He was, it seems. President of Mexico, where his administra- tion has been a great success. With him he had his cabinet, whom I recognized as old friends of mine. The minister of Agriculture was Lloyd Lamb; the minister of the Treasury was Oscar Brooks; the Irish Ambassador was Michael Scully, and the Press Censor was Don Hamilton. Fauver Huston was the champion heavyweight pugilist, commonly called the White Man's Hope.” Helen Brown and Marie Mullins had a fashionable mil- linery shop, and Ella Maxwell was the buyer of the establish- ment. Roland Brooks became a trainer in Yale. Marie Wright, after specializing in Zoology at Illinois, became the keeper of the Apery at Woodyard Station. Deacon Arbuckle after lecturing on What I Expect to See When I Get There,” formed an expedition and succeeded in planting the Stars and Stripes, and the pink and green of ‘11, at the South Pole. His success was due to the fact that he required so little nourishment on the trip, and that he offered little resistance to the wind. Eloise Muncie became a lecturer on Latin History, and Gladys Westbrook was a guide of a tourist party, where her never failing humor was shown to great advantage. Cleo Jenkins, our Physics shark, became a professor in the University of Illinois, where he showed to great advantage in demonstrating before the fairer sex. Florence Shellenberger and Marguerite Bridgman went to Illinois after graduation, but their education was cut short by their marrying two handsome and burly short course ags” who own a farm in partnership. Ruth Cornwell was a matron of a home for dyspeptic cats, and Bertha Jones became a domestic science teacher in Tuske- gee Institute. The last expiring embers of the fire flickered and went out, and silvery and clear from the dawn outside I heard a cock crow. Rising slowly and painfully. I stepped out of the cave, just in time to see the first rays of the sun over the dis- tant hills Thus, laden with the futures of he pupils of ‘11. I made my way back to civilization.

When we entered this realm of happiness, all bowed before us as they realize that they were in the presence of conquerors The teachers even stared in astonishment and smiled with satisfaction at the genius of some of our prodigies. We are a class with the fairest of records to show for our deeds. We have been busy these three years and victors everywhere Look at the list of the laurel-crowned and you will realize how many victories were won by the members of the Junior Class. To our number belong the star members of the Glee Club and Semi-Chorus. In the track our con- testants are matchless, and our basketball players are marvels of agility and skill. Again and again have worthy opponents suffered overwhelming defeat at our hands, and left sadder and wiser than they came. So, have our hosts of friends learned to admire, and our few enemies, to fear us At the head of such a class stand our worthy and enter- prising class officials, and to them also we should give praise. Only this year the DePauw Glee Club appeared here under the auspices of the Junior Class, and the entertainment was a grand success.

Soon a flash, more vivid than the rest, turns the inky darkness to a livid green and you see three people, two Yankees and a girl, riding swiftly down the road; and the darkness closes in again and the sound of the receding hoofbeats mingles with the rumbling of the thunder. The two Yankees. Richard Lee and Paul Randal— southern by birth but northern in spirit—were in college when war broke out. and. like most patriotic, glory seeking youths, threw down their books and rushed to the front. Meanwhile Fay, Paul’s sister, had managed their plantation, while her father was fighting for the cause he loved. The freedom of the South.” for which cause he died. A short time after her father's death a small body of Confederates, who had with them a Yankee spy whom they had captured, stopped at the plantation. This Yankee, know- ing that he would not live to carry out his mission, secretly gave the papers containg valuable information for the Yankees to Fay who was in sympathy with the Unionists as he had seen. Fay. fearing to entrust the papers to a messenger sent a letter to her brother, who was at this time in a nearby camp, asking him to come to the plantation within a week for she had something of importance to give him. The messenger who carried the note had been watched by the Confederates; for the Randals were under suspicion, and, on his return, was captured and frightened into telling the object of his journey. The week passed and Paul came, bringing with him Richard L ?e, whose feelings for Fay were something stronger than those of a friend. As night came on all three—Fay having been persuaded to go north, for Paul thought it would no longer be safe for her to remain on the plantation— mounted on swift horses, set out for the Union camp. The Confederates, however, were watching and the party had hardly reached the road ere they came in pursuit. On! On 1 On! Through the darkness they sped, pursuer and pursued; mile after mile rushed by. No attic for mine—I’ll take the Sellar”—Honnald. I must Rive it up,” gasped Fay finally, for the strain was about to overcome her, “Ride on and leave me, they will not dare to do me harm.” “Never! You must not give up. cried Paul determinedly, as he turned in his saddle, leveled his rifle and fired into the darkness. His bullet found a mark A piercing cry rent the air Fire, men! Fire! cried the Confederate captain, driven to madness by the audacity of the Yankees. Immediately a dozen jets of flame flashed into the darkness. Richard’s horse fell dead. Paul tumbled to the ground dazed by a ball that pierced his ear. while Fay came to her senses just in time to keep her saddle as her horse, maddened by a bullet wound, reared and dashed off in the darkness. Never had she ridden at such a rate before; she tried to stop; it was impossible. She must go on—on to the Union camp and get aid; for were not her brother and another who was dear to her in the hands of the enemy? Past field and wood she flew. The lightning played around her. Thunder shook the earth. It rained; but she cared not. Would she never reach the camp? “O! Cod! she cried, “give me strength. There! She catches a glimpse of a distant sentinel’s fire. Or was it merely the lightning? No! it was a fire She can see it clearly now and there are Union soldiers around it, too. Nearer and nearer it comes She is almost upon it. A terrific flash of lightning blinds her. the world swims before her eyes, the faint cry of a sentinel comes to her ears, she is falling—falling and all is dark again. We will now return to Paul and Richard whom we left at the mercy of the Confederates. We find them (bound) sitting by the fire whose failing light causes the shadows to recede and advance in a deadly struggle. The bodies of the sleeping Confederates are strewn around them so that it would be impossible to escape, even if the guards who are occasionally seen passing to and fro. as silently as shadows, had not been there. “There is only one hope left,'’ said Richard with a shiver, for although it had stopped raining the wind had chilled him to the bone. “And what is that?” asked Paul despondently. Our lives depend upon Fay,” answered Richard. “She will surely send us aid. “But what gooo will that do?” queried Paul. Even if aid does come it will most likely be too late, for we are to be shot, as spies, without a trial, tomorrow before sunrise.” Discouraging as was their outlook, these, too, wearied by the trials of the night, fell into peaceful slumber which lasted until the grey dawn came stealing over the hills. The darkest hour of the night is past. Slowly the stars, which have come out since the storm, fade from view The trees and the fences loom up grey and ghostly through the misty dawn. It is growing lighter in the east. Soon comes a pink tint along the horizon and as the color deepens the little birds awake and sing morning praises to their Maker The sky is all aglow as fiery Phoebus rises majestically, changing every drop of water to a sparkling diamond. How beautiful the world is! How happy everything seems! Even the trees and flowers dance and bow in the gentle breeze. But look! Just over the hills is quite another scene.

S— Seniors, Juniors, Freshmen: all of you bow down before the mighty Sophomores! Honor us, glorify us, cheer us. proclaim our mighty praises throughout the land! For we deserve them, we expect them, we demand them. For lo! Even in the first year of our existence great deeds were done by us. But withal, you found us meek, courteous, and quiet in demeanor and deportment. We did not brag when we won, neither did we boast when others lost. Our presence in the High School served as an inspiration and a help to those about us Our fame spread throughout the land and we were regarded as models of American citizens in embryo. We admit this. We confess it. Even though our modesty restrains us, we feel it our duty to hint at the laurels won by us as children. And so, as Freshmen we gradually came to realize that we would soon lie what we are. During the year 1910-11 the Sophomores have proven what was predicted of them during their Freshman days; namely, that we would equal any other class in the school in every particular In athletics and in High School work we have taken an enviable leadership. In athletics especially the Sophs are forging to the front and are furnishing their full share of men for the different teams. Already we are represented on the track, and in basket ball, the mention of our team is sufficient. In oil painting, too. the members of our class have ex- celled. In fact, Messrs. Taflinger, Ogden and Sniff achieved such a grand success with their purple and white color scheme that they were dismissed by the faculty until the remaining students caught up” with them. At the present day. some of the above artists’ noble paintings may be seen on the barns and the telephone poles in the rear of the school building. Last fall, quietly and unostentatiously, but sturdily and manfully, we took unto ourselves the burden of keeping up the existence of our glorious institution And our success has been great. The Freshmen that we admitted were carefully selected from the county over, and although they may have failed to show it thus far. we believe that when they arrive at the threshold of manhood and womanhood, they will have Yes. I saw ‘Joy Steele’ away ‘Mildred Pearman.' commenced to show flickering, but living signs of promise and talent. And lo! When the verdure of these same Freshmen broke out too violently we defeated them in many a glorious contest in the gym. This activity and spirit in athletic circles does not imply any lack of interest in. or desire to escape from, lessons in the class room. It has been a common experience for the Sophs on finishing a course to hear the professor say: The way they eat those problems is marvelous.” Sad to tell, many of us have acquired those gentle arts of bluffing and cramming and the truly sympathetic nature of our class is shown by our heartfelt sighs as we gaze on the Freshmen who so laboriously toil over their algebra and “Bellum Helveticum. But ah! We have learned all that anil have forgotten it a year ago. Other classes, too, have received our friendly support and encouragement. We have helped them when they stumbled and supported them when they weakened. Whatever our faults may be. it is voted by the entire High School that the class of ‘13 is a pretty decent bunch.' Nevertheless, if our aid has been at all material, if our well wishes and hearty co-operation, and continued active endeav- ors have in the least affected the rise of the I . H. S., then we are content for the present. But in the future, may we climb to a success that will be an honor and a credit to our dear, old Paris High! —Jerome Sliolem '13. What hath God wrought. —Freshman. “The Defeat of the Seniors” Sophomore Prize Siory HEX the Sophomores of Andover Academy challenged the Seniors to a lx at race on the river which ran by the school, there was quite a little excitement among the students. Never before had any Sophomore class been bold enough to challenge the dignified and proud Seniors, and they were guyed” a good deal by the upper classes. As boat racing was still comparatively new to the Academy, the two teams began to indulge in some good, hard practice. Every, day after schooi hours the boys could be seen on the river, rowing as if their lives depended on it. The Sophomores practiced more than the Seniors, the fourth year men evidently thinking that it would be easy to win the race by four or five lengths. But due to the persistent efforts of the Sophomore captain, his men were developing into a fairly respectable crew. Some of the other fellows had taken notice of this fact and one day Bob Anderson, a Junior, said to the captain of the Senior crew, Say, you fellows had better hurry up. or these ‘Sophs' will put it all over you.” w mi Don't worry your brain over that,” replied the captain, ‘ Dut wait until after the race It will be so easy that I’m almost ashamed to disgrace those youths. “That's all right.” returned Bob, but just keep in mind what I said. That evening when the Senior crew went down to the boathouse, they found the Sopnomores already practicing, and the captain saw that there was something in what Bob had said to him. The race was scheduled to be held on the following Satur- day afternoon, and at the appointed hour, the shores were lined on both sides with eager, expectant students. Far up the river could be seen the two crews, and sharp yells rent the air as the boys of each side tried to outdo their opponents. Suddenly a puff of smoke was seen and then the crack of a pistol was heard. The boats shot through the water and the race was on. During the first half-mile both crews rowed in fine form, neither exerting themselves to any great extent. As the mile stake was passed, the Seniors forged ahead half a Every little movement has a meaning all of its own.”—Gurneth. length, but the Sophomores would not let them increase the distance, sticking to them pluckily. At the mile and a quarter .stake, number three in the Sophomore boat lost his stroke, amid the groans of the second year men on the shore. Before he could recover it, the Seniors had taken advantage of the fact and lengthened the distance between the boats to a length and a half. At this point the consistent practice of the Sopho- mores stood them in good stead, and they gradually regained part of the distance lost so that when the mile and a half mark was passed, they were but a length behind. The fellows on the shore saw that the second year crew was not going to give up the race without a struggle and they shouted with all their might, trying to urge them on to greater speed. Both crews now began to increase their stroke. Steadily the Sophomores began to creep up on their rivals. Now they were only half a length behind and the distance was decreas- ing rapidly. The oarsmen were straining to their utmost and “What hath God ' their bodies moved in rythmic motion. The rooters had gath- ered at the finish and were excitedly urging on the rivals. Now they were side by side and the goal was fast approaching. Could the Sophomores do it? A sudden hush fell on the students, as if they were asking that question of themselves. The Senior lioat forged ahead a little, but only for a moment, and then fell back behind its rival. There were only a few more yards to go and again they were side by side. Then the members of the Sophomore crew brought into use their last ounce of strength and by a beautiful spurt shot by the stake, winning the Senior-Sophomore boat race, by a close margin. A few moments later Bob Anderson, coming upon the Senior captain in the boathouse said. “Sorry to see you lose, old fellow, but you know what I told you.” “Well, they can’t do it again. retorted the captain. “I don’t suppose you will give them a chance.” replied Bob. walking away. —Walter Risscr 13. •rought.”—Freshman.

Freshman Class History N A BRIGHT September day in the year of 1910, one hundred and sixteen Freshmen, for as such we acknowledge ourselves, appeared on the threshold of P. H. S. This class was not an ordinary one. for. besides having the honor of being the largest class that ever entered the Paris High School, it had other marks of distinction, and from the first day it showed itself to be superior, both in intellectual and athletic lines. At first we were a source of amusement for the teachers. Sophomores. Juniors and Seniors. We acknowledge that we were rather green.” and made many mistakes at which the other classes made much fun. But this did not last long for we soon became accustomed to the new order of things and i egan to show our unusual ability in both classroom and field. At the Inter-class Meet in the beginning of the year our athletes without practice, won points which brought honor to the class and gave promise that before they left school thc.tf would accomplish things to make their names long remem- bered in the athletic annals of P H. S. The boys of the Fresh- man Class have organized a basket ball team which won third honor in the class games by defeating the Sophomores. Even the girls have a team at which the other teams of their sex have no room to laugh. As in other Freshman classes, many have dropped out during the year for various reasons, but still we have the largest Freshman class that ever completed the year. From such a successful beginning we have reason to be- lieve that in our succeeding years we shall have even more brilliant achievements to record. —Mildred H.

I can't find it anywhere, though I have looked in every corner I can think of. Such were the words of a Sophomore in a cer- tain college for girls, as she ransacked the many boxes and bundles which were piled down in the corner. Her room-mate who sat by the table studying her les- sons for the following day, hardly looked up. but answered. “Oh, I don’t know. Why? What is going on to-night? Oh, just a fudge party. Why here's the sugar in this corner. I don't see how I overlooked it- Good bye,” and Ethel Hunter slipped away down the corridor where she met Mable Brown. “Is everything all ready? Here’s the sugar. Where are the rest of the girls?” asked Ethel all in one breath. They are waiting for us and we must be quiet as mice.” answered Mable. And with this they slipped quietly along down the stairs until they reached a door leading iqto the kitchen. Here they were met by half a dozen more, all trying to keep quiet But O. such a task for lively college girls out for a frolic. Opening the door they hustled in and began prep- arations for a batch of fudge. Here they thought they were safe from the teachers and any intruders who might happen to be around. Everything progressed in good order. Oh! how delicious that fudge smelled. It had cooked until it was just right. Each girl had a taste of it to see whether she thought it was done. They all took turns at beating it and it was poured out into a pan at just the right moment. Ethel put the pan on the window-sill and turned her attention to the kettle for just a moment. Turning around, lo and behold, where was the fudge? Something has taken our fudge! cried Ethel. All ran to the window to see whether anyone was near who could have taken the fudge. Everything was quiet. No one was in sight, but the pan of fudge had mysteriously dis- appeared and could not be found anywhere, though they looked all around. It was a much disappointed bunch of girls who Jiled back to their rooms that night No one told of the fate of the fudge and when it was mentioned among them there was always silence, followed by deep sighs. No one knew who enjoyed the candy, but the girls were always careful after that about putting pans of fudge on open window-sills. —R. It. '14 Athletics have come to stay. We cannot evade the fact”—E. O. Jones (excerpt.) TRACK TEAM A M THLETICS in the High Schools has come to stay. We cannot evade the fact. And this is as it should lx?, for it is a psychological principle that whatever exists in the nature of a thing is necessary for its complete development; and there certainly exists in the nature of every normal High School boy or girl an innate tendency to- ward physical exercise. So the sooner educators and Boards of Education come to a realization of this principle, and make ample provision for the same, the more quickly and effectively will we contribute to the student's full and complete develop- ment. Paris High School is thoroughly alive to the athletic situa- tion and has made a long stride in the right direction toward developing teams in basket ball, base ball and games of track and field. Football is the only department of organized ath- letics that has not been developed, but that is not because of a lack of interest or scarcity of football material, but our in- ability to obtain an athletic field for playing purposes. Saturday. May 11, 1910, the E. I. S N. S. at Charleston, gave an Invitational Track and Field Meet to all the High Schools of the State within a radius of one hundred miles. Sixteen High Schools accepted this invitation and sent alto- Who said the track suits were abbreviated? aether one hundred and nine athletes. Unlike the year be- fore, the day was bright and fair—an ideal day for such an occasion. Some splendid records were made while the won- derful performances of Byrd, the Milford wonder, were phe- nomenal. and of world’s record-smashing order. His heave of the Olympic discus 134 feet 10 1-2 inches caused the former record of 129 feet 11 inches, held by Giffin, of Joliet, to fail into the forgotten past. This Milford boy’s work was all the more wonderful when one takes into consideration the fact that he was but 18 years of age when the throw was made. Honnold. Paris’ premier high jumper, won out over Byrd in the high jump; Brooks clipped off the half mile in 2:8, defeat- ing Belnap. of Mattoon. while Jones took the measure of Glover in the pole vault, winning at the 10:2 mark. The Green and Gold of Mattoon finished first in this meet with a total of 29 points. It was simply a case of too much Rue. this noted athlete scoring 15 of his team s 29 points. Milford finished second with 20 points to her credit, while the Orange and Black of Paris, had to lx? satisfied with third place, with a total of 19 points. But Paris won the mile relay, hands down, finishing in 3:44 1-5. The prize for this event was a beautiful red and white silk banner, inscribed in rolled gold leaf This beautiful trophy now adorns our High School Assembly Room. The Track Team this year promises to be stronger than ever, and under the direction of Captain Brooks, is being given a thorough workout. The boys seem to realize the importance of training and caring for their bodies in a way never observed before. The athlete who wins on Track or Field must have in addition to speed, endurance, or else he will never be able to stand the gaff in a long-drawn-out contest. This lesson of the importance of endurance was very forcibly brought home to the Paris boys in their experience at the Peoria tournament. In a contest where there are prelimin- aries. semi-finals and finals, one must necessarily have staying qualities, or else he loses in the end. It is toward this, that Captain Brooks is directing his men. and when they return from the Interscholastic at Charleston, they propose to bring back the choicest of the gold, silver and bronze medals that are offered. In the Dramatic and Oratorical Contest at night. Miss Avola Seldomridge. of Paris, won first in the dramatic contest and a Mattoon contestant first in the oratorical. “Jog a slow half (2:15) then finish strong.

Jav (taking track picture)—“Don’t huddle up. it’s not cold.” OT BALL HE FOOTBALL Team of Paris High School, as usual, was organized in the fall—organized we say -but that was all. The dreams of the students for fame on the gridiron for the season of 1910 were not to be real- ized. for another rule was added to those governing eligibility, to the effect that permits from the parents of the members of the team would be necessary before a game could be played. That was the fatal blow, for when the written consents of the parents of the candidates were collected, a grand total of seven was the result. Now you can hardly have a very good football team of seven men, so the plan for a team repre- senting the whole school was abandoned. However, the classes came to the rescue of the spirit of football and after various belligerent challenges and equally belligerent acceptances had been issued, a team composed of the star players of the '14. '13 and '12 classes found them- selves arrayed against a team of Seniors captained by Ar- buckle as the phantom quarterback and backed with a goodly array of speed, brains and brawn. Well—the All Star aggregation rather lost its hankering for football glory before the end of the first period, and in the second half threw in subs by the dozens to stop the onslaughts of the near-grads, but in vain, for when the gong rang, at the end of the game, the score was 26 to 0. with the class of ’ll on the long end. Thus began, and ended, the P. H. S. football season of 1910. Aw, lets play marbles.’—Football man. when permits were few.

PARIS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM. “We won’t be home till morning.”—Basket Ball team at Kansas 1 :.‘i0 A. M BASKET BALL N BASKETBALL the Paris High School Tigers arc in a class all by themselves so far as this section of the state is concerned. Captain Huston began train- ing his men during the month of November and soon developed a system of signal work that was unsolvable, and which proved the undoing of so many fast teams in eastern Illinois and western Indiana Fifteen games were played on the home floor and eleven away. All the home games were won except one and that was lost to the Rase Poly boys at the beginning of the season by the score of 18 to 24. Of the eleven games played away, seven were won and four lost Paris lost to Rockville, Indiana, by the close score of 29 to 30, and to Wiley by the score of 27 to 30. On February 24th and 25th, the Tigers went to the East- ern Illinois Basket Ball Tournament at Shelbyviile. Four schools were represented, Paris, Nokomis, Charleston and Shelbyviile. This meet was managed more satisfactorily to all parties concerned than last year, the program of games and contestants being decided by lot. In the draw Paris and Nokomis were the first to contend for honors. This game, characterized by rough tactics on the part of Nokomis, was won by Paris. 29 to 31. In the second game of the afternoon Shelbyviile vanquished Charleston, leaving Paris and Shelby- viile to contend at night for the championship of Eastern Illinois. A tremendous crowd of enthusiastic and noisy rooters turned out to encourage the Shelbyvillians in their supreme effort to stop the Tigers During the first five min- utes of play it looked as though they would do it, for at the end of that time the score was, Sheloyville 15, Paris 2. It seemed that the Tigers just couldn’t get started, and then, lo! all at once something happened. Shellcnberger had caged a field goal! With this boost of a mighty two-point, they be- gan to climb, and once started, they never stopped. At the end of the half the score read Paris 16. Shelbyviile 17. Dur- ing the rest both teams were inoculated with generous quanti- ties of ginger and both came back determined to win. But the boys in white and blue couldn’t keep up with the speed of the Paris five and the terrific pace they had struck. When the gong sounded Paris had won—Paris. 38; Shelbyviile, 26. On March 10th and 11th the Paris Tigers journeyed to Peoria and took part in the State High School Tournament. The contending teams were Rockford. Paris, Granite City. Mt. Carroll. Jacksonville and Washington. In casting lots, Paris drew Washington, the winners of the Central district. According to the Peoria dopesters, the Washington five was the pick of the Meet, and the defeat of the Tazewell county tribe proved a distinct disappointment to their many admirers in the audience. The Washington five took the floor against the down-staters with an air of confidence that was reassuring to their admirers, and the din was terrific when Washington managed to score the first field goal, following about two min- utes of slow, inaccurate play on the part of both teams. Then, with a sudden spurt, Paris warmed up to her true form and started a cyclonic period of scoring. Led by Arbuckle, 3—11—33. the Tigers started a system of lightning-like team work that completely battled the Washingtonians and enabled them to pile up a count of 22 to 11 for Washington, when the first half ended. In the second half the Tigers kept right at it and again doubled the score on their opponents, winning in the end 12 to 21. The work of Arbucklc was the general sub- ject of talk that evening. It should be borne in mind that Arbuckle had covering him. Long, the lengthy guard who was picked last year as the best guard in the state, but the headi- ness and speed of the Paris forward was too much for the long, lean and lanky Long, (pardon the alliteration) and a total of 12 field goals was scored off of him. It was Ar- buckle’s wonderful playing during this game that won for him the position of forward on the First All State Team and made him the star of the Meet, scoring 59 points in all. while his nearest competitor, Thomas, of Rockford, made but 50. In the second contest. Saturday afternoon, Paris draw Mt. Carroll. The Carroll county bunch created a sensation when they appeared on the floor, by their large stature and speed. Paris was completely awed by the Northern State aggregation and consequently fell before them with scarcely any evidence of the fighting spirit displayed the evening be- fore, losing by the overwhelming score of 30 to 56. In the third game played the Tigers had Granite City for their opponents. Paris took the lead during the first half, and appeared to be a certain winner, the score being 29 to 16 in the Tigers’ favor. In the second half the Paris five came back groggy and were slow in countering the Madison county boys, yet while they struggled as best they could, they lacked the stamina to stop the mighty onrush of their oppon- ents, losing 35 to 43- But on the whole, the Tigers have played a wonderful game, and they have hundreds of loyal supporters in the student body and citizenship of Paris. This appreciation of the Tigers’ efforts has found expression in a gift to them of a beautiful, stag-handled, copper loving cup, which commem- orates the district Basketball Championship of Eastern Illinois. St. John, Paris’ crack guard, is the only Tiger left of the old line-up and consequently we will have to look for new blood in building a machine for next season, but believe that it is in sight. ■■hoi� by Jay.

CADETS T HE MILITARY organization, known as the Paris High School Cadets, has been in very worthy connection with the High School since the autumn of 1896, then under the leadership of Mr. George Crowell. They have steadily advanced in numbers up to the present time, with the exception of the companies of TO and Tl under Captains Rond and Brooks, which were not so large as the company of '09 under Captain Tucker. The company of this year has been greatly helped by the aid of Ex-Captain Stephens, whose services the company se- cured for a period of two weeks, and who has helped to raise the company to its present standard. The company has also been added to and aided by Superintendent E. B. Brooks, who so efficiently has acted in the capacity of Major. He is equip- ped with a regular army major’s uniform and appears as an officer who has known the service for years. After being organized and drilled for about four weeks, the company entered a competitive drill, during the Home Coming in October, which included all uniformed bodies in Edgar county, and succeeded in winning the $15 cash prize offered by the Home Coming committee. Also an indoor exhibition drill was held by the High School company. The boys were in excellent condition and executed every move- ment with great accuracy. The company was inspected by Captain John Coady. of the militia, who pronounced the company’s standard very high. The company was equipped with the regular army uni- form. and with the latest model of the Springfield rifle which cadet companies are permitted by the governor of the state to use- Several of the cadet companies throughout the state are looking forward to a Military Tournament which is to be held in Paris some time in May Preparations are only begun at the present time. The local company and several others have taken considerable interest in making this tournament a suc- cess. It will be remembered that the company of '07 under Captain Logan and Lieutenants McDivitt and Brooks, entered a tournament at Decatur and won first honors. It is hoped that the company of Tl will be able to uphold the honor won by the company of ‘07, which no doubt it will. The following are named as the officers o? the companv of T0-T1. ROI.AND BROOKS.

HORTLY after the opening of school in 1910, the whole school population, faculty and all. were fairly thrown into nervous prostration by the sounds which were wafted from the music room. Some echoed and re-echoed through the spacious halls, while others were so tremulous and feeble as to be scarcely audible. When it was learned that a number of vocally inclined damsels were having their voices tried for admission to the Semi-Chorus, a great deal of humorous speculation passed the rounds. At last, however, we knew by the radiant smiles on some faces and the rather forced gaiety of others, that the selections had been made A few days later, after all the confusion had ceased, the girls, in a very business-like manner, showed their astuteness in their choice of officers Ruth Curtis, as president; Eloise Muncie. treasurer; Georgena Sellar, secretary, and Kathleen Logan, librarian, were elected. To furnish the accompani- ment for the Chorus. Nelle Winn was chosen, a duty that she has successfully executed for several years. Miss Maebelle Price has shown herself a very capable leader and under her instruction the girls have advanced re- markably. During the school year, they have had many opportunities to show their ability, but on May the fifth they gave a concert, after many weeks of careful training and practice, which undoubtedly outshone all other musical enter- tainments given by the Paris High School. Prior to this they favored the Teachers’ Institute, which was hold in the earlier part of March, with a couple of selec- tions which were so well received that a second encore would not suffice. On April fourteenth the preliminary contest was relieved of its monotony by a few appropriate songs rendered by the Semi-Chorus. While on the departing day of April, another event had been posted on our calendar which proved to be a second oratorical contest. Such harmonious sounds were rung forth that the audience was held spell-bound and even the contestants from different cities, with wide open mouths and staring eyes, wondered how such sweet music was really produced. The last time the girls sang for the public was on the night of June second when everyone was blithe and gay. all because school books were put aside until the following fall. Nevertheless, the older members of our club seemd somewhat melancholy, for they had passed out of their good old High School days into this world of strife, but they revealed such a small part of their sentiments, that they were able to sing in the usual hearty way. This ended our successful career for the spring of 1911. Committee—Genevieve Huston, Harriet Fisher- Charlotte Kile- “You stole my love. Flea upon you. Fly! '—Ask the Semi-Chorus. Photo by Jay P. H.

After Miss Price, the enchant- ress, had exercised this body, it proceeded to buckle down to work, and creditable work, too.

The play's the ‘thing.' “The Elopement of Ellen” HP] HEADERS of last year's Annual, know somethin); of the ability and achievements of the illustrious class of '10. yet one of its crowning features, the class play, was not mentioned in that publication. This play. “The Elopement of Ellen” was given on the evening of May 26th. by a cast which consisted of seven mem- bers of the Senior Class. There were no leading parts in the play, one character being as important to the plot as another, and each one of the cast was so admirably fitted to por- tray the character which he represented, that all contributed equally to the success of the play and no one can be said to have received undue credit. The first scene opened with a house party at the home of Mr and Mrs Richard Ford, a very devoted young married couple, who were impersonated by Walter Bond and Helen Baber. Mrs. Ford, being almost distracted by the elopement of her maid, Ellen, sent her husband to telegraph for a new maid, who must arrive before her guests. She was comforted in her trials and troubles by her brother Bob. otherwise known as Ira Allen, who was an optimist, always seeing the bright side of life. John Hume, the rector of a near-by church, who caused much amusement by his little note book to which he had to refer frequently in order to carry on conversation, saw Mr. Ford running to the telegraph station and fearing that some accident had happened, came to call on Mrs. Ford. While he was there, Dorothy March, or in other words, Myrle Rahel, one of Mrs. Ford’s guests, arrived and he immediately fell in love with her. After this, the rector, who was really Stanley Wallage, became a frequent caller at the Fords', com- ing as he said. Just across the service to see if he might be of any garden.” Meantime the new maid, Ellen, had arrived and was recognized by Bob as June Haverhill, a Wellesley College graduate and one of his old friends. This girl, who was impersonated by Hazel Gordon, was practicing in econ- omics and had come to the Ford home, disguised as a maid, wholly ignorant of Bob’s presence there. Another guest. Max Ten Eyck, or Elbert Hargis, who was engaged to Dorothy and My love has burst into flame.”—The Rector. who was a good friend to Bob, arrived later and the first act closed with a breakfast scene in which the host, hostess, Bob, all the guests and the demure little maid, Ellen, were present. In the second act. Dorothy and Max were unfortunately thrown together and when Max endeavored to play the part of an enraged man, a quarrel followed, their engagement was broken off, and Dorothy rushed off the stage in a fit of anger. The rector, coming up at this time in search of Dorothy, made himself generally ridiculous by his love-sick soliloquies and by writing a letter declaring his love to her. Just as he was finishing the letter, he was frightened away by the sound of approaching footsteps which proved to be those of Bob and Ellen, who by a prearranged plan had gone golfing before breakfast and were just returning. Unfortunately, they had stayed too long and as Bob was bidding Ellen goodbye. Mr. and Mrs. Ford. Dorothy, Max and the rector entered unex- pectedly and the second act closed with Bob introducing the new maid as Miss Haverhill. In the last act, Mr. and Mrs. Ford closed the festivities with a garden party which formed a very pretty scene. In this act. the rector proposed to Dorothy but was interrupted by Max who came in and claimed her for his own; Bob and June became engaged; and the curtain dropped before three very happy couples. The success of the play was due largely to the efficient training of Miss Wonz. ably assisted by Miss Hazel Easton. Much credit must also be given to the I . H. S orchestra, who rendered several pleasing selections before the play and be- tween acts. After the last act. all the Senior Class were rushed upon the stage, and beneath a huge banner of old rose and white, lifted up their voices in praise of old 1910.’' The class song was written by Ira Allen and was full of good, wholesome class spirit, such as is shown in these lines: Drink. O. drink, my jolly schoolmate. Drink to 1910, For t'trill be a long, long time. E’er you see better men.” —One of the CasL Mistress— Have you a good character?” Ellen— Heavens, I hope so.' “Alt Heidelberg, du feine—” EINE UNIVERSITATS Karriere und, wie ich hoffte, meine ganze Schulung cndete am funfzehnten Juni, da ich von dor Universitat Chicago promovirtc. und ich fing schon an Visionen meiner zukunft als Arzt zu hahon.

Die Briicke wurde nun wieder herab—gelassen, und zwei Personen eilten an Bord. ein alter Herr und eine junge Dame; die letztere ersch- ien mir wie eine Vision alles Schonen; der erstere ein Uber- bleibsel alter Zeiten. einer jener alten Ritter von Vergangenen Jahrhunderten—in anderen Worten, ein altlicher Herr mit lang wallendem weissen Haar und Bart mit einem stolz getra- genen Kopf. furchtlosen Auge. einfach. aber reich gekleidet und offenbar ein vornehmer Deutscher. Ich jnteresirte mich sogleich fur die Ankomlinge und mein Blick folgte ihnen bis sie in ihrer Kabine verschwanden. Ich sah nichts mehr von ihnen an jenem Tage aber am folgen- den, als wir dinirten sah ich zu meiner Freude dass die Schone von gestem mir gegnUber sass. Unsere Augen begegneten sich und in diesem Blick machten wir Bekanatschaft. Sie war ein Madchen von ungefahr neunzehn Jahren. mittelgross, mit dunklem Haar und ausdrucksvollen Augen welche mehr als der Mund sprachcn. Ihre Ziige waren scharf geschnitten und ahnelten denen des alten Herrn an ihrer Seite, der ofTenbar ihr Vater war. Spater am Abend als ich mtissig auf Deck schlenderte sah ich ein paar Schritte vor mir den C.egenstand meiner Gedanken; sie lehnte traumerisch uber die Railing und sah auf die weite Wasser-fl che. Einige Augenblicke kiimft ich mit dem Wunsch mich ihr vorzustellen und meinem Anstandsge- fiihl. als ein plotzlicher Windstoss. meine Wiinsche ahnend. mir zur Hilfe kam indem er ein zartes kleines Taschentuch aus der Hand der jungen Dame riss und es hoch ol en an den Very clever story Schiffstauen hiingcn liess. Sie stiess einen kleinen Schrei aus und rannte hinter her aber sie sah ein dass das Tuch ausser dem Bereich ihrer Hande war. Ich ergriff die gliickliche (lelcgenheit und stotternd hot ich meine Hilfe an. Iiichelnd erlaubte sie es und ich ling die Kletter—partie an. Es gelang mir das Taschentuch zu erreichen aber ich war nur halb unten angekommen als das Tau, woran ich mich fest hielt, unter meiner Last zerriss und ich zu FUssen Meiner I)ame wie ein Haufchen UngUick fiel. Aber ich hatte wahrend des Falles das Taschentuch verloren und der Wind wchte es auf die See hinaus. Sie lief auf mich zu und fragte ob ich mir weh get hail hatte und beschuldigte sich sclbst des Unfalls. Ich erkl rte dass das Schlimmste der Verlust ihres Tuches sei, und nach gegenseitiger ’orstellung plauderten wir wie alte Bekanntc. Sie hiess Marie Rheinstein und war eine Deutsche. Ihr Vater war Professor der Modernen Sprachen an der Universitat Heidelberg. Sie Kamen von einem Besuche in den Vereinigten Staaten zuriick wo sie das Uni- versitatswesen studiert hatten. Es freute mich das zu horen und als ich ihr sagte dass ich im Begriff sei in Heidelberg zu studieren. erzahlte sie mir von dem Universitiits—leben und von den schonen Orten am Neckar an welchem Heidelberg liegt. Wahrend der Reise wurden wir ausgezeichnete Freunde und ich lernte auch ihren Vater kennen. der ein hochst gele- hrter Herr war und wie seine Tochter fliessend Englisch sprach. Er unterhielt sich gern mit mir Uber amerikanische Verhfiltnisse und sprach sich sehr lobend Uber alles aus was er in den Vereinigten Staaten gesehen hatte. In Liverpool angekommen nahmen wir von einander Abschied doch mit den Worten Auf Wiedersehen im Septem- ber. Ich fUhrte den Auftrag meines Vaters in Liverpool isn’t it? ilus. reiste meh Schottland, dann zuriick nach London w j ich eine Woche verbrachte, und ging dann uber den Kanal nach Havre. Drei Wochen verbrachte ich in La Belle, France, und dann ging die Reise nach Italien. Wenn ich aber vor den un- zahligen Madonnen stand, musste ich weniger an die Himmels Konigin ais an mcine Kongigin in Heidelberg denken. Dann kam die Schweiz an die Reihe; ich wcrde niemals den iiberwaltigenden Eindruck vergessen den die Alpen auf mich machten. Die Konturen eines solcher Bergriesen. abgeze- ichnet gegcn die i ot untergehende Sonne, ist ein unverges- slicher Anblick. Aber gegen Ende des September eilte ich gliicklich nach Heidelberg. With rend der ersten Woche suchte ich Logis und Kost, immatrikulirte mich, und niachte mir einen Stun- denplan. Am folgenden M on tag ging ich zum ersten Mal in die Horsfile. denn auf deutschen Universitaten gibet es keine sogenannten Klassen, sondern nur Vortrilge der Professorem otior Privat dozenten. Bald solite ich auch nftheres Uber das Corps Wesen der Hochschule lernen, denn obwohl ich ais Auslander keinem Corps angehoren konnte, machte ich die Bekanntschaft eines jungen Mediziners der ein Mitglied der ‘‘Saxonia war und mehrere machtige Schmisse im Gesicht hatte; er machte mich mit anderen bekannt und es dauerte nicht lange bis ich eine Art Adoptiv—kind dieses Corps wurde. In der dritten Woche feierte die “Saxonia ein Fest auf dem Konigsstuhl, ein mehrere hundert Fuss hoher Berg in der Nahe von Heidelberg von wo man eine wundervolle Veite Aussicht in die Gegend hat. Wahrend der warmen Jahre- zeit werden viele VergnUgungen hier veranstaltet, nicht nur von der studierenden Jugend sondern auch von den Phili- stern” wie die nicht studierenden Heidelberger genannt wer- den. Zum Konigsstuhl fiihren zwei Wegeein sanft ansteigen- der Fahrweg fur die Alten oder Beguemen, und ein sc h mal tor, «toiler Fusspfad fUr junge, kletterlustige Musensohne oder Tochter. Die Saxonia war wegen ihrer Feste berUhmt, und dies mal sol I to geschwelgt. gesungen und am Abend illuminirt werden. Bis jetzt hatte ich noch nichts von Fritulein Rheinstein gesehen, nur ihren Vater hatte ich einmal von Weitem erl - lickt, aber ich wusste dass sie auf diesem Fest sein wurde. und ich gelobte mir die Bekanntschaft fortzusetzen. Der angesetzte Tag brach an mit herrlichem Sonnen- schein. Mehrere meiner Sachsen Freunde und ich beschlos- scn den Fusspfad hinauf zu klettern, obgleich die meisten in buntgeschmUckten Wagen fuhren. Mein Freund Fritz wollte eine Wette machcn dass er zuerst oben anlangen wUrde; wir anderen nahmen lachend an. und das Klettern begann. Kaum waren wir aber ein viertel ties Weges hinauf als ich anting zu ermuden. denn ich war solche Kletter partieen nicht gewohnt; in der Schweiz war ich immer mit der Zahnrad Bahn gefahren. Ich Hess die anderen laufen. denn ich wusste dass wir oben doch zusammen trelTen wiirden. Also stieg ich gemachlich hinauf und bewunderte das Bild zu meinen FUssen—in Weston sah ich die fernen Vogesen. im Suden ein grimes Meer wogender Baumwipfel—der Schwarzwald. Urn eine bessere Aussicht zu bekommen ging ich zu einem Vorsprung des Berges wo eine Baumgruppe stand. Doch als ich niiher kam bemerkto ich drei Damen die sich hier ausruh ten und auch die Aussicht bewunderten. Bei meinem Niiher- kommen wandten sie sich um und—O. Frende!—Die eine war Who said the German department didn’t do first-class work? keine andere als Prfiulein Rheinstein. Sie erkannte mich sofort und indem sie sieh erhob, bewilkomnete sie mich aufs witrmste. Sie stellte mich den anderen Damen vor und dann kam ein Fragen und Antworten Uber die Geschehnisse der letztcn zwei Monate. Wir setzten alie vier unseren Weg fort urn noch rechtzeitig am Gipfel des Konigsstuhl anzukom- men. denn das Fest sollte bald beginnen. Das war einer der schonsten Tage meines Lebens. denn ich verbrachte ihn in der GesellschafTt Friiulein Rheinsteins. Sie war nicht nur schon. sondern auch geistreich—eine bril- liante Erzahlerin. Ehe wir uns am Abend trennten vera- bredeten wir fllr die nachsten Tage einen Ausflug zum Heidelberger Schloss das ich dis dahin noch nicht gesehen hatte. Jeder Tag brachto mir etwas Neues. Am folgenden Morgen kam mein Freund sehr friih auf meine “Bude” urn mich abzuholen einer Mensur beizuwohnen die von den Sax- onen und Borussen ausgefochten werden sollte. Solche “Paukerei” war mir neu und ich gestehe dass ich es schreck- lich fand. Der Anbliek der PaukbrUder allein war schon ekelerregend. Jeder Steckte namlich in einer Uniform” die steif von dem getrockneten Blute voriger Generationen war. und welche das Eigentum des Corps ist. Und dann diese schrecklichen Brillen die gerade wie Auto—Brillen aussehen! Zuletzt konnte ich gar nicht mehr hinsehen wie einer nach dem Anderen mit blutigem Gesicht abgefahren wurde. Doch die Studenten behaupten alle es stahle den Mut und es muss schon wahr sein. Viel schoner war der Ausflug zum Heidelberger Schloss den ich mit Friiulein Rheinstein unternahm. Diese wunder- volle alte Ruine ragt mehr als drei hundert Fuss aus einem dichten Wald empor, wie eine seltene Blume aus dunkelgrilnem Kelch. In dem romantischen alten Burg-hofe kam mir so recht zum Bewusstsein dass Deutschland doch das Land der Ideale. der Poesie ist, und da junge Miidchen mjt den schwSrmerischen Augen das an meiner Seite ging war mir die Verkorperung dieser Poesre. In jenem Augenblick war es mir klar dass die una femina fiir mich Marie Rheinstein hiess. Drei Monate vergingen im Flug. Ich sah meine heim- lich Geliebte oft, auch schien ihr meine Gesellschaft nicht unangenehm zu sein. Heidelberg wurde mir lieber von Tag zu Tag. Da kam plotzlich eine Kabelpepesche dass mein Vater emstlich erkrankt sei und dass ich unversAumt nach Hause kommen sollte. Ich war bestUrzt und traurig, und machte schnell Vorbereitungen zur Abreise—doch ohne Marie zu reisen war undcnklich. Mit klopfenden Herzen, doch nicht ganz hoflfnungslos ging ich zu ihr sie zu fragen. ob sie sich entschliessen konnte Alt-Heidelberg zu verlassen und ein Btirgerin “Onkel Sams zu werden. und meine HofTnung betrog mich nicht; ich erhielt ihr Jawart doch versicherte sie mir dass fUr kein anderes I and als die Vereinigten Staaten wtirde sie ihr geliebtes Heidelberg verlassen. Und so. freud- voll. und doch leidvoll in dem Gedanken an meinen Vater. sagten wir dem Neckar Adieu und reisten zum Land� . .der Unbegrenzten Moglichkeiten.” —Bruce Buckler ’ll. Das ist genug.' Acta Discipulorum Latinorum Foreword AD YOU been standing in the Forum at Rome some two thousand years ago, you might have observed a placard in the platform or rostra which stood near the west end of the square; and had you drawn nearer you would, no doubt have found yourself one of the throng eagerly perusing the words written thereon. At the top of the placard you would have seen the words “Acta Diurna” which mean “Daily Record of Events,” and as you read the items you would have discovered that you had before you the forerunner of the modern newspaper. By means of the “Acta” all Romans who could read were able to find out what was going on, not only in the city itself, but throughout the provinces. The aim of this department is tp give a Record of Events” which we hope will be of interest not only to the students of Latin but to others as we) I. Thase who are ser- iously inclined will do well to read the metrical translation from Book I of Virgil’s Aeneid, while to the frivolous we recommend the column headed “Stulfte Fabella?”—as to the Latin Oration, he who can, may read.

And like the rush of cruel armed men The angry winds burst through the opening To overwhelm the universe with storm. And speeding swift from North, from West, from South With whistling cry they swoop upon the sea, Which, lashed to fury from its lowest depths Thunders in breakers to the trembling shore. The last faint cry of men is ringing loud. The straining of the helpless ships is heard. Then suddenly the inky clouds of night Blot out the twilight of the dying day. And sullen darkness broods upon the deep. The thunder leaps across the sky. The livid lightning tears the cloudy wrack And Death himself stalks silent o’er the flood. Then, from the Heaven above, the hurricane With shrieking wind, descends upon the deep. It strikes the tight reefed sails, and far aloft It drives the foaming surge up to the stars. The sturdy oars are crushed, the rudder turns. The ship lies broadside to the driving wind. A mighty wave raised high from off the sea Impends gigantic o'er the tiny fleet. Spme hang an instant poised upon the crest; While others near the bottom of the flood Behold the rocky shore beneath the sea. And on the seething shoals the surging sea Boils thick with sand. Three times the angry wind Drives toward the hidden reef the scudding ships. Three times the East wind racing overhead Pursues the fleeing vessels toward the shore. And in the shallows circles them with sand. O. Wretched Sight! A monstrous wave upflung Strikes o’er the lofty stern of that great ship And hurls Orontes from the straining helm Headlong, to death among the angry waves. Three times the sinking ship is whirled about Then swallowed in the vortex of the flood. It disappears. The angry flood rolls on. The drowning crew sink helpless in its grasp And scattered wide, the wealth of ancient Troy Floats on the heaving bosom of the deep. At last the tired ships, with rigging torn. Gave way beneath the cruel storm’s attack. And through the gaping seams the swirling flood Pours its huge ‘. eight into the storm tossed fleet. “That Latin’s all Greek to me.” Song of the Sophomore (Latin Course) We have taken Gallic strongholds.

First on entering, we size up the players, the home team. See how they strut around in overcoat array, gravely counseling, wondering how the neighboring High School grew such big fellows and thinking how prone their fair ladies must be feeling; though to them they pay not the slightest notice, for a man's business is now on hand. In a group towards the other goal are the visitors, who. while quaking at the thought of the renowned team-work of the Home Team, and wondering how they can dodge those posts, boldly do a few stunts with the ball amid the jeers of the onlookers and the admiration of the unescorted female Freshmen. The crowd is made up of many groups, the largest and most in evidence being the High School Couplets. Jhere are the Steadies, who come in. two or three in a bunch with an air of proprietorship and go straight to their accustomed places and glaring wonderingly if any outsider or erring Freshmen dare have them. Then there are the new affinities. the fellow who never has capitulated before or who has broken away from the crowd of Steadies with the girl who is getting even or whom no one else has thought much about. They are rather embarrassed by the cheer that greets them but determined to enjoy themselves. She asks many questions while He tries to explain the intricacies of the game and secret- ly wishes he was where he could throw up his hat and pound some one on the back if occasion demanded. Sprinkled among the rest are a few eager Freshmen couples, anxious to cheer and trying their best to appear comfortable and act obligingly. Around the time-keeper, are the scornful but hilarious woman-haters and untiring supporters of the team. They cheer, they advise, they literally go wild at every goal made and during the intervals of peace cast pitying glances toward their deluded and hampered comrades who were enumerated above. At the other end of the Gym” are the unattached girls, screaming lustily when others do and when asked the score one is sure to reply. Isn’t that R—center the swcllest thing? And while they scream they wonder,—where the strangers will go for refreshments after the game. There Find yourself in this story. You're there. is another group of lone girls. only about two or three, whose escorts are “on the team.” See how eagerly they watch and how anxiously they wait to lx? honored by a smile from “him” just after he has thrown a goal or accomplished some other daring deed.

A few others are there who fill up but I have tried to name those most important to us, as well as themselves, for through them all is a pride, a loyalty, and a joyousness which though they know it not. can never be found except in the over- flowing spirits, the noise and the romping of a High School crowd. WANTED—A clever “liner” for this page next year. “Spiel”—An Allegory Last night owing to a particular weakness of mine— cheese omelette, which I had an opportunity to indulge, my sleeping hours were but one panorama of shifting dreams that melted into one another with breathless rapidity. With the singular courage of the dreamer I did prodigious feats single-handed and alone, and travelled fast and furious over many forgotten roads, and lived over many bygone experi- ences. At last after having encountered more experiences than Baron Munchausen. I found myself in the assembly room of Paris High School When the scene became clear, to my horror I was just entering the door and following our superintendent on to the platform. Imagine my conster- nation when I found the seats filled with—not the pupils but all the lecturers who had spoken during my four years stay in school. There they all were in silent rows, the anti-cigarette fiends, the boosters for other schools, the speakers advocating writing courses, or other personal ends, the weary ones who had spent a life time endeavoring to inculcate morals in the breasts of the high school pupils. While I was gazing at this unexpected sight, I was introduced to the principal, and offered a chair. Then in those measured tones so familiar to us all I heard, We have with us. Mr. Allen, who will speak to us this morning. I cannot say that the strange audience seemed very much pleased at the announcement, however a few clapped listlessly. The rest looked inexpressibly bored. Nevertheless for such is the magic of a dream,—I advanced boldly and began this remarkable speech, I rejoice that this opportunity is given me for correcting certain illusions which you, as a class, have been laboring under for the last decade. I have the honor to represent that much-misunderstood and much- maligned creature, the modern high school pupil. To me has been assigned the task of setting you right on your theories and ideas. To begin with do not begin your address thus, ‘It gives me great pleasure to look into your smiling faces this morning.’ In the first place that phrase was brought over in the Ark, and should have been pensioned long ago. In the second place, it’s a bluff, and you know it. and by this time you ought to know that we know it- Either you are boosting your school for a salary, or else you speak from a stand point of duty and neither gives you or us pleasure. Then, only the Ed. Note. This is not exaggerated. Almost half of it is the truth. pupils who missed a recitation are grinning—the rest of us are not Also do not introduce your remarks with that hoary joke about being sure we will consider your presence an intrusion because it interrupts our studies. If you consider it an intru- sion you would not come, you may rest assured that we consider it as such. Then as far as a pupil could see. there would be no harm in introducing an original thought now and then. Of course, that is a dangerous thing to do. but you might risk it occasion- ally. A few of us might die of the shocK but we believe firmly in the survival of the fittest, and the rest of us would appreciate it. Or if that seems impracticable why not reduce your similar speeches into a standard form, have it spoken into a phonograph and at stated intervals wind up the crank, insert the disc and fire away. The phonograph needs nothing but needles and oil. and can lie shut off at will. “Please, also, do not select your stories from the Ladies' Home Journal. That publication has an extensive circulation, and its jokes are read and reread before you arrive. And. do not tell that pathetic tale of the snobbish, insolent, unfilial youth who spends his aged, pious, self-sacrificing father’s tin for cigarettes and fancy ties, and refuses to recognize him on the street. That is an excellent story—its existence through so many years is a proof of its vitality—but the poor old man has died on us three times this year, and the way he refuses to stay buried is becoming positively uncanny. “Do not dwell on our marvellous opportunities; they are not are fault. Our parents, terque beali, were denied the wonderful advantages that surround us We are besieged with note books, apparatus for laboratories, and other modern aids. So do not remind us of them—the teachers do that. “Just a word in conclusion: kindly remember that we are human. Somewhere between the kind, stuoious and impossi- ble youth who wins first honors and pins the medal to his mother’s ragged shawl, etc., and the snobbish, insolent, unfilial son who spends his aged father’s tin, etc., we stand. We crib, borrow note-books, cut classes. As we know from your words the degeneracy of the modern age is shocking. But wait! You must remember that our ancestors, in spite of all you say, had one supreme advantage. They had no lecturers! During my address I noticed that the disapproval of my audience was intense. They glared at me, and exchanged glances of mutual anger and surprise. When I had finished, they rushed forward in a body, to tear me limb from limb. Just as I gave up the ghost, I awoke to find myself in lied, while a voice from down stairs called. “Hurry up. or you’ll be late to school.” I dressed hastily and got there just in time to hear a lecture entitled, “The Ideal High School Boy ” It gives me great pleasure to look into your happy”—Any Lecturer. “When Cully Went to College” A drama designed to touch the heart and inspire the err ing youth with a desire for a higher and nobler life.

Harris Mistress of the Wardrobe.................................Leta Davis Editor's Note—By the courtesy of the editor of Stage- land we reprint the following article which was written for that publication by an eminent dramatic critic. Has anybody seen Mr. Brook’s hat?” N EVENT of unusual interest in dramatic circles occurred recently at the Liftemup Theatre. The members of the theatrical troupe known as the “Know-It-All-Company, which played to more or less—rather less—crowded houses in vaudeville last season, have deserted the former scenes of their somewhat uncertain triumph, and will henceforth devote them- selves to the sphere of legitimate drama. This com- pany, it will Ik remembered, is composed of former school teachers, and whetner this radical change is due to the desire to uplift humanity, or to scarcity of receipts at the ticket office, is not quite clear. It is but fair to state, however, that Mgr. Brooks asserts the former most emphat- ically, and furthermore declares that the company is perfectly confident that it can deliver the goods. Commendation is due in one respect, at least: the members have dropped the nonsensical titles of Signor” and “Mademoiselle” and appear this season as plain Mr.” and Miss”—extremely plain so the occupants of the first row declare. The production in which this talented (I quote from the display bills) company makes its initial appearance, is en- titled : When Cully Went to College.” To say that the show is highly moral is altogether inadequate. It is, Go-on-tip-toe, Don’t dare to whisper. Speak respectfully to your superiors, sort of play; and no parent need fear to allow his offspring to attend. It can’t do anything worse than send him to sleep, and a little beauty sleep harms no one. The theme of the drama is of the Sherlock Holmes variety combined with the ever popular college story. A crime has been committed with absolutely no clew as to the perpetrator. The matter is placed in the hands of a female detective who finally traces it to one. Cully, a college youth. All this sounds as though there might be some excitement, but unfortunately such a supposition does not take into account the performers. Manager E B. Brooks who appeared before the curtain in a splendidly fitting cadet suit, presented the company to the audience in a long and eloquent speech which we are glad to quote in full—it was as follows: It gives me great pleasure, ladies and gentlemen, to present to you the Know-It-All Company who will entertain you this evening.” The part of the female detective is taken by Miss Bertha Miller, and all who saw this young woman last year will not be surprised at the able manner in which she has adapted herself to her part. When she fixes her piercing eye on a trembling victim, and with that hypnotizing smile propounds the searching question “Are you sure? one feels that here at least, one meets with the real thing. The other members of the cast showed decided evidence of stage fright, but they may be expected to improve with practice. 0. Rice Jones, Athletic Director and the steadfast friend of Cully, was well portrayed in spite of the somewhat chesty manner of the actor. The scene in which Mr Jones, simply arrayed in a track suit, stood shivering in the icy blast, but determined, nevertheless, to speak a good word for the lad in trouble, was particularly affecting. And when Mr. Jones exclaimed, “Though these be not the vestments in which my outer man is ordinarily habiliated. yet will I never desert a friend in need!” the heights of true pathos were reached and the audience sobbed aloud. Throughout the play mention is frequently made of a strange woman with an incomprehensible fondness for Latin. A foul and pestilential congregation of vapors.”—Chem. Lab. whose services are required in interpreting various messages in cipher. As Miss Howell, who plays this part, appears in person but once, it is difficult to form an opinion of her lability as an actress. However, the dignity with which she pronounces the words, And is red hair. Sir. necessarily an indication of bad temper?” is worthy of mention. The climax of the second act occurs when “Ma” Jacobs, the landlady, who insists on spelling Ma” with two capitals, takes her stand at the head of the stairs and shouts Go back! Go back!” to the policemen who have come to arrest the unhappy Cully. Miss Jacobs enters into the character of the landlady in an accepablo manner, though occasionally it is difficult to understand her on account of the gentle tones in which she speaks. The famous trial scene is in the third and last act, where the burly policeman, nobly represented by Mr. Lathers, drags in the trembling prisoner. The part of lawyer for the defense is taken by Miss Ella Slemmons, whose able characterization of the pompous man- ner and longwinded arguments of the Man of Law,” was so life-like that the audience went to sleep and did not waken until they were startled from their slumbers by a mighty crash. Then they find that Miss Slemmons in her character of lawyer, has pulled a window shade from its moorings and has dropped the window stick upon the head of the unlucky Cully. That unfortunate emits a feeble “ouch! whereupon Miss Slemmons exclaims in stentorian tones. “There is no occasion for any disturbance!” At this point the witnesses are summoned. Miss Carolyn Wenz first appears, and on being asked to tell what she knows concerning the character of the defendant, she clears her throat five times, surveys the jury with the air of a Grenadier, and then proclaims that the only time she ever saw the young man was when she played basketball on the U. of I. team. The same question is put to the second witness. Fraulein Helene Miller, who declares her belief in the innocence of the accused. He is, she says, second only to Bismarck in her esteem, and she concludes her plea in his behalf with the touching words: “Er ist wie eine Blume, so halt und schon und rein.” The third witness, Miss Anna Littlefield, gives quite a different turn to affairs by sternly declaring that in her opinion, the youth is capable of any villiany whatsoever. On being requested to state facts she proceeds with a long account of the young man’s iniquities which unfortunately, we were prevented from hearing as the baby next to us seized this opportunity to howl loudly, and all that we caught was the concluding statement, “Sir, you may leave the room!” Things began to look dark for poor Cully; suddenly a little child is summond to the witness stand. On being re- quested to tell what he knows concerning the matter, he responds with a burst of oratory that would put to shame a man of thrice his age and size. Lesley Pinkney who takes the part of the child phenomenon, showed decided evidence of unusual ability, and one may with confidence predict a brilliant future for the little chap. Cully is entirely cleared and is just receiving the con- gratulations of his friends, when the door opens, and in rushes the detective who proclaims that by the aid of two match heads and one moth ball she has located the guilty party; that he has been sent home and will never more darken the doors of the college unless he lx- accompanied by his father, mother. '1 he earth has bubbles, as the water has, and these are of them.' old maid aunts, and baby sister, all of whom shall solemnly swear on bended knee that the like shall never occur again. Mere the curtain falls, and the audience, with a sigh of relief, pins on its hat and joyfully takes its way home. Proverbs of the Freshman 1.

S. professor was relieving himself of momentous thought: “We are at the present day, studying the same fundamental geometrical truths, and mathematical concepts, that those renowned geometrists of ages ago worked out in intricate lines drawn in a dish of sand. We now use the same hypotheses that Archimedes used centuries ago; the same conclusions that his fertile mind produced centuries ago while poring over the faint lines, drawn with his master hand in a dish of mother earth I wish you all could become just as well acquainted with these same theorems, mathematical concepts, and fundamental geometrical truths. But from the looks of these papers I am forced to conclude, that you have capitulated to the call of idleness, and have not become inocu- lated with even the first principles of geometry._M. S.
