account of the advan- tages of our work here as students. School life is indeed a nugget, and we chip from it what we will. If we are looking for those things which tend toward higher ideals and a broader outlook on life in general, we have within these walls an ample opportunity to find them. It has been said that we get out of anything whatever we put into it, and nowhere is that saying better exemplified than in school work. With the beginning of spring we begin to realize more and more the possibilities, still latent, I am sorry to say, of our High School grounds. Alumni, as well as undergraduates, could do much towards beautifying what nature has already so richly endowed. We would suggest, not only the planting of class trees by the different classes as each Arbor Day comes around, but that money could be raised by entertainments and subscriptions to further carry on the work of grading and beau- tifying the school grounds. The increase in enthusiasm in the different departments of the social side of school life must be very gratifying to those who have the interest of the school at heart. The Athletic Association certainly has taken a new lease of life. The school orchestra and special chorus have given the musical part of the school an enviable reputation while various clubs seem to be making themselves known. It is hoped they will grow still stronger as time goes by. [3]

I ITTING idle at her desk, the teacher gazed up and down at the rows of seats with rising emotions, i The slight breeze, coming in at the window, flicked i the curtain to and fro and stirred the papers in the 3 file. Faintly a distant, crashing cry came from the close-cropped diamond, where active candidates gamboled on the green. Robert Montgomery Mckee was draped over the back of the third seat in the fourth row, in a state midway between ob- livion and consciousness. To the left, to the right, behind and beyond him rose grim blackboards where a great deal of knowl- edge had never found its way, and within which the memories of pleasures without, seemed hazy and indistinct in the gloom. Giant windows adorned the eastern side and above their panes the pigmy world arose in the distance, giving fresh food for dis- consolation, grief, and youthful sadness. Long rows of seats ran down to the teacher ' s platform. Enthroned there, Madam Hart, the Ancient and Honorable, was opening the lesson. Mckee gazed dreamily at the expressionless legs of Bugs Saw- yer, in the opposite seat, and listened to the usual sermon. La leqon pour demain — Chardenal, page cent-trente-huit. Ecrivez la franqais. Now we will take up today ' s translation. As I have told you before, this class is very far behind the other classes at this time of the year and we must hurry ex- ceedingly to finish the alloted course. That means you, Mr. Brown, as well as anybody else. In order not to waste any time please tell me beforehand whether you have done your lesson or not, and if you have not, please come in after school and tell me the reason why. Mr. Brown ! Pay attention ! You need to hear this as much, if not more than anyone in the class. We will now take up the translation on page sixty-two. Traduisez, M ' sieur Harris. Harris scorned to rise, but gave an immediate, vivid, convinc- ing excuse. Don ' t you think you are going too far, Mr. Harris ? This is the third time this week that I have called on you and you have been unprepared. Sawyer, you go on. Sawyer, by several spasmodic efforts, rose to his feet, and cocking an eye on his book, he half sat on his desk while he painfully translated. Lisez la franqais said Madam, warningly. [4]
