She is always ready to see a joke. In fat-t, she giggles at everything, howeverinsig- nilicaunt. She is exceedingly scholarly in literature and helps make the class interesting. She is very much interested in her violin, and we hope that we shall some day hear of her being a great violinist. CHARLIE STE WA RT. There wasn't a minute when Bullefs :vas-n'f in it, Do not think from the quotation that our beloved Charlie is a bad boy, because he really fri' isn't. He is only a little mischevious. When he really isn't in mischief a person can see con- templations of it in his eyes. Charlie has been in this class during the four years of the High School course. He has at all times applied himself in his studies and has received good grades, but, ah! We sometimes pity Charlie when wen look at his deportment marks. He has also conducted himself so that he is one of the best liked members. not only in his own classes, but in the whole school.

KON ETA STEWART. if With the ropes of her past she will ring the bell of her future, Koneta has been in this class from the start to the finish and has been very studious in many different ways. First of all, in her books in which she seems to be concentrated. She studies into the wee hours of the night, for, U Honor lies in honest toil. But alas she has, in her High School career, been pierced with that well known arrow of Dan Cupidis. and from all appearances it has proven fatal. She has not placed her aims, for the future, any higher than 5' honest Abe.'7 With her good nature and her kind disposition she has won the affection of all her schoolmates. A

istory of Senior Glass BY ELDON R. BUFFENBARGER. N the early autumn of nineteen hundred ten, when the song birds were singing their melodious carols while Hit- ting about from branch to branch in nature's home, sheltered by the verdant leaves, when the buzzard was wheeling his solitary flight deep in the abyss of the heavensg when the mournful notes of the whip-poor-will were heard by night, and the hum of bees by day, buzzing about in the beautiful sunshine from flower to flower, delving into the depths of nectar and pressing it away for winter, while the zephyrs playing over hill and vale, there came a gentle mur- mur, Just started. Then too it was, that the class of fourteen, Just started. They slowly but steadily pressed their way to- ward the seat of knowledge. Stop l 0, ye gods l assist me that I may paint the picture that now is branded on my memory. Glance backward and you will behold us occupying a conspicuous place among the wise of this institution, preparing ourselves for the winter of life, conquering all difficulties and delving into life's problems with the zeal of a Napoleon and the intellect of a Solomon. We had our Alps to climb, when we were suddenly aroused by the an- nouncement of a test or even an examination, but when soon over we rode along in the deep valley of satisfaction. Thus we blazed a trail and pressed toward the goal of r knowledge, never swerving, even when severest trials and difliculties beset our way. Although when at first we were only Freshmen, we were not pursued and held in check by manifest destiny and the heavy hand of fate, as most Freshmen are by their nominal superiors. No chains were forged around us, no nets were set to lure us and the bait with which the Seniors wished to lure us on, we ignored. Thus free we paddled our own canoe and sailed into the mysteries of the past by diligently ply- ing ourselves to the oars which propel the ship of life. We erected a firm foundation on which we built a true and noble character. We pierced the Barcan wilderness, we mowed the difliculties of good and evil as does Reaper Death in the beautiful poem: There is a Reaper whose name is Death, A And with his sickle keen He reaps the golden grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow between. -Longfellow lVe fulfilled every task, we applied ourselves to every possibility, we conquered every obstacle and at last we placed the frame work on the foundation which had become strong by labor,study. midnight hours and by sacrifice of many pleasures. . The teachers were astonished and pronounced us the most studious class in the High School. The only phase that the upper classmen were able to utter in a criticising but dignified manner was, Just started. :Look again and you will see the famous class with a 'few more loyal and devoted companions added all climbing as ever to heights sublime, and mounting the ladder of fame
