40 GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL ALMA MATER. Through the years We've left behind us, Through the sunshine and therain, You have guided, Alma Mater, And you'have not led in vain. To the height of clearer knowledge, You have led our wayward feet. Unto you we sing high praises, Unto you bring tribute meet. Years may lead to new ambitions And new lands we may explore Thru our hearts one song is ringing That shall echo evermore. E Hail! all hail our Alma Mater This our watchword always be. In the fields of high endeavor We shall ever sing of thee. ELVA DUTCHESS. THE TRUTH. What Lightning is to Speedg What Snap is to Effort: What Gas is to the Motor Car: What Butter is to Toastg What Ten Cents is to a Freshman: What Food is to a Sophomoreg What Sleep is to a Juniorg What Commencement is to a Seniorg Gives but a light idea of What our Faculty is to all of us. EDNA DALY. A SOLILOQUY OF A SENIOR. To rise, or not rise that is the question, Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to rise And carry books unwillingly to school Or by an extra nap avoid my troubles. And in this sleep forget and be content To rise whenever me the spirit moves, Yes, that is the question. EDNA DALY. HIGH SCHOOL PROVERBS. She who talkveth much, bloweth loud and sayeth little, is foolish in the eyes of teachers and a bore to all the children of men. She who giveth nothing, but receiveth all ion examsj is a first class sponge. She who passeth a note in the classroom with- out being caught is a Wonder in the eyes of the pupils. She who talketh much shall never see her name on the exemption list. She who thinketh aloud and is seen by her teacher shall not receive credit for her thought. She who steppeth on the heels of a Senior shall certainly hang her head. She who loveth her teachers and showeth that love, shall love also her report card. She who sitteth in a quiet corner and sucketh her thumb shall never sin. She who sitteth with her mouth open taketh in many things. She who teaseth not the Freshmen is a traitor to her school. She who nurseth a big head will some day nurse a grouch. EDNA DALY. ONE LITTLE MISSTEP FOR ALICE. Everyone agreed that the dance was a success as far as a good time for all was concerned, the music was fine and the crowd was a good jolly one. Alice was having a marvelous time as she later described when, carelessly she looked at her wrist watch. It was halfipast---well, what's the difference-it was more than half past the time she had promised her Dad she would be home. She remembered she told him she would be home at twelve so she bid everyone goodnight and started for home. -- -- -- ---- --Reaching the house she left her escort promptly at the door and then took off her danc- ing slippers and tiptoed her way up the stairs. She had to cross the living room in order to get to her room and was just complimenting herself upon having closed the door noiselessly when she tripped over the carpet and fell all over the key- board of the piano,' touching as she thought every key. And then came a disordant note from father. LORETTA LAWLER.

SENIOR YEAR BOOK 41 JUDGING BY APPEARANCES. Effie Willard sat pouting, and for a good cause, she thought. All the evening she had been waiting and watching for the coming of Howard Mansfield, and when the little time- piece on the mantel pointed to ten o'clock, she knew she could hope no longer, he would not come. What has detained him? often she mur- mured. If I had not felt sure of his coming, I would have gone to Howard had better give this, or I shall not get not let Fred know how the opera with Fred. a very good excuse for over it very soon. I'll I've been disappointed, or he will tease me dreadfully. Poor little Effie did not feel much better, the next morning, when h-er brother Fred saluted her. You must have had a rather lonely time last night Effie. Why so? Effie asked. Why? Because a certain young gentleman, that I think you expected, spent his evening somewhere else, and in the company of as pretty a girl as I ever saw! Effie's face flushed unmistakably, although she tried hard to appear unconcerned, and replied : You saw him at the opera, I suppose. Likely he was with his sisterg her in town every day. I know he is expecting Yes, I saw himg .but I'll give you my word that girl was not his sister. No, indeedl' Boys are not so devoted in sisters. their manner to their Effie maintained as calm an exterior as pos- sible and forced down a very small breakfast. She would not have eaten a mouthful, only she knew Fred was watching her, and anxious to get a chance for further teasing. Howard Manstield's family resided in an ad- joining state. He was engaged in business in the city where 'Effie Willard lived. She had kn-own him nearly a year. Within the last few months he had visited her very frequently, and although they were not actually engaged, there was a pretty good understanding between them. That evening he presented himself to Effie, and said immediately: I was so provoked not to be with you last evening, and more so because I had not even time to write you a line explaining my absence. Mr. Blake came to me, just as I was leaving the store, and gave me information that necessitated 1ny leaving town immediately. I had only just time to 'catch the train, and did not get back until very late. Effie was prepared to treat hi1n very coldly, but this explanation surprised her quite out of her intention, and she said: Why, I heard you were at the opera! Did you not return in time t-o drop in there for a little while? I-Ioward's face turned very red, and looking at Effie rather sternly he asked: Do you doubt me? If I had returned in time for an hour anywhere, it would have been here. Effie was forced to believe him, he looked so honest and truthful. After all ,perhaps Fred was only teasing her. Howard continued very devoted, and for many days Effie had not cause for disquietude. One day, about two weeks after the evening of the commencement of our story, Effie was walking in the park with Fred, when he ex- claimed: ' Look, Effie! I declare there is Howard, with the girl I saw him with at the opera. And so it was Howard, who came up and presented Miss Archer. Effie was troubled and perplexed, and conse- quently not very cordial. So, after a few mo- ments of constrained remarks, they separated. Howard came in the evening, and told Effie Miss Archer was an intimate friend of his sister's, and had come to spend several weeks in the city. He wished so much Effie would go with him to call on her. But Effie declined, for a woman's reason- 'ishe did not want to. And Howard was a little hurt.
