Ebitorcialr :HE ORACLE of '94 speaks. The infant dress of 'fYe Baby Oraclel' has long been laid away for the proud regalia of a strong and healthy youth. It has enjoyed the benefit of previous years' experience and again steps into the journalistic arena With firm tread and an easy manner. It speaks to the class and the school and their many friends. As in the palmy days of Delphian supremacy the vvorld-famed Oracle was Wont sometimes to couch its utter- ances in Words of hidden meaning, and at others to speak forth boldly, so novv with 794. But not as then is THE ORACLE infallible and divine. It sometimes errs, and needs must ask its friends to read with kindly eye and not think harshly of its youth. R THE ORACLE stands Hrmly for truth and fair play and the progress of the school in all its branches. . , f if if A three months? trial of the one session plan has proven highly satisfactory in every Way. By bringing the entire school day practically into the forenoon it entirely does away With the inconvenience of the afternoon session under the old plan, and thus by affording more time, or rather by causing less wczsie of time, it permits both teachers and students to do better Work Without being so constantly crowded as before. THE ORACLE believes the system Will be found not less convenient in Winter than in summer, and would strongly urge its continuance. W 96 96 The High School Athletic Association has covered itself With glory. ln the joint Held day between the Lansing and Battle Creek High Schools our boys Were easy Winners in all events calling for agility, speed and lightness, While in feats requiring the Herculean strength of big bones and mighty brawn the Battle Creek boys were quite generally ahead, although

they positively declined to meet the Lansing boys at wrestling. The day was greatly enjoyed by both sides and by t-he many hundreds of enthusiastic friends who came to witness the contest. The occasion has its lesson and well illustrates the thought of Hvaulting ambition which o'erleaps itselff' The eagerly arranged stipulation admitting first yearls alumni to the games admitted some able men on the side of our opponents and gave us the pleasure of seeing several prizes fall to them. It is believed that if these sports are to be continued from year to year, as it is highly desirable they should be, it will be found altogether more satisfac- tory to make them strictly school affairs and require the participants to be carrying a certain number of studies and doing good work in them. This plan is followed in our best colleges and is found to give better results all round. Two years' trial of Greek in the school has been most gratifying in its working. The earnest plea of 79278 ORACLE for its introduction had its effect, and 'now the opinion of S793 that it was a valuable acquisition is only strengthened. The new coursegthus arranged has been approved by the University and now Lansingfs diplomas admit without examination to any course in that institution. It broadens the school and raises its already high standing among the many excellent schools of the State. E ' 96 if 96 ' , The annual Junior exhibition has been a very successful and entertaining part of the school program for three years past and ,THE ORACLE believes it can be made much more so in the future. With such strong classes as we now have, an entertainment of first quality in all particulars can beiarranged, and if properly advertised and given in the opera house, would draw a l-arge audience. Hundreds of people have staid away from these entertainments not because they did not wish to attend but because they knew the great difliculty of getting seats in the High School assembly room, or did not want to climb the stairs.
