Volume Seven Nineteen-Ten The New Road Our path before us stretches far and wide, While young and strong, and filled with newborn hope, We stand and Wait the signal of our guide, Prepared to answer true, and glad to cope With wind and rain and hail, with storm and sun, Before us in the road We all must go. And as we travel onward, every one In thought and faith and deed shall greater grow. And he shall feel the kindly breeze that blows, And if, perchance, he finds one day a thorn, The thorn to him shall show its sister rose, For out of bitter pain are blessings born. And when, at dusk, the way seems dim and far, Beyond the mist and gloom will gleam a star. IESSIE FREEMAN FOSTER. 24

Volume Seven THE CORRELATOR Nineteen-Ten Class of 1910 This class through its entire career has maintained a high standard of scholarship. It has appreciated the benefits to be derived from such a training, and has ever endeavored to comply with all of the requirements demanded of it. Perhaps the jollity and buoyancy of youth have at times led its members from the narrow path of duty, but this was natural, and it would even have been re- grettable if such a ministerial state of mind had existed as to entirely preclude many of the incidents which have- helped to relieve the monotony of the daily work. The class has ever exhibited a true school spirit and has taken hold of school activities with a determination. In athletics we have placed our teams well up in the running, and, although we lose once in a great while, our loyalty never lessens. The greatest feather in the cap-of the Senior class was the founding of the Girls' Club. Under its able officers it has made a wonderful name for itself and the school. It and the Boys' Club are the talk of all the High Schools in the West. City and out of town teams have been so well entertained by these clubs that their popularity and admiration for the members is spread broadcast. The class has also taken a large part in other directions. The Daily probably is the best proof of this. In appearance, composition, and correctness the Daily is much in advance of any previous year. Those who have taken the work under their supervision are more fitted, in every way, for the place than they have been before, As a result the paper is original and interesting. The Midway has also improved greatly in general appearance and make-up, and is a great credit to the school. The officers of this volume should be given great credit for their undivided efforts in making it so popular. It has ceased to be laughed at by the student body. The editors of the Correlator have tried an entirely new experiment in getting out this volume, but hope it will be suc- cessful in every respect. The Girls' Glee Club, which was formed out of the old Sophomore Girls' Glee Club, is open to all girls in the school. The organization is new, but has so far proved very successful, The School Male Quartette formed this year is a very valuable asset to the school in m-ore ways than one. 23

Volume Seven THE CORRELATOR Nineteen-Ten RUTH AGAR drifted into U. High this year from Oak Park. We all consider Shorty a lucky find. Ask most any girl who frequents the Girls' Club about her and she'll be sure to say, Oh, yes, she is the one with the grand soprano voice, who entertains us every noon. We all extend our gratitude to our ever-obliging, accomplished entertainer. Girls' Glee Club, Girls' Club. EUGENE MALCOLM ANDERSON. When you see a big crowd standing in the hall you will find Mac is generally to blame. His original jokes are worth listening to, and he always has a new lot ready when his old ones give out. Mac is a dramatic star, and will be missed next year. He is active in many branches of athletics in spite of his fatness. He is a prominent member of the Boys' Club. Football Team '09, Track Team, Baseball Team. LOUISE HERRIOTT BALL, 4028 Lake avenue. Louise has been at U. High for four years and she feels thoroughly qualified to say that it is the only place to go. Next year she is bound for Wells College, where we are sure she will be as popular and brilliant in her studies as she has been here. School dramatics will lose a clever little actress who has acquitted herself so well in the produc- tions in which she has taken part. Her offices are: Secretary of Class '07, '08g Member of Junior Girls' Society, '09, Girls' Club, '10 3 Drarnatics, '09, 'l0g Daily. MIRIAM LOUISE BALDWIN, our well-known artist and housekeeper CU, has been one of the busiest workers of the Senior Class. The efforts and time which she has so liberally spent on our Girls' Club are certainly appreciated. From the very start, Miriam was always right there. She expects to enter the U. of C. next year, but aside from this fact, we all see a brilliant future for her as an experienced lady of the house.
