% SENIOR CLASS NOTES I CLASS NOTES i Senior Class Play to Be Held May IBBlBBIBilMBB HIBHUlt Miss Kellogg has definitely an- nounced Wrecking Robert ' s Bud- get as the Senior Class play. Wrecking Robert ' s Budget is a comedy in three acts and requires a cast of seven boys and four girls. Try-outs will begin immediately following spring vacation, and if everything turns out as planned, the play will be presented on May 2. Hallowe ' en colors, and the grave and reverend seniors in attendance reported such a grand old time as made the younger classmen dream dreams of a great day coming. ODE TO MY MUSTACHE (Dedicated to Mr .Evans, Amos San- chez and Max Dyer.) Hail to thee, oh fringe of fuzz, ver- dant and thin, That has hibernated on that virgin soil above my chin, Which is known and appreciated as my upper lip. Even as the tasselled corn or shred- ded wheat Doth shoot from out the fertile ground, So, too, dost thou slowly spring out beneath My nasal edific e, silently, without a sound! Again Hail! voluptuous ornament, Monarch, strainer of the toothsome soup ! ' Twill not be many years before you begin to droop — , And then, Oh Earth! Oh Land! Oh Joy Sublime! Will come the heavenly, glorious time — Oh, gee, if fuzz doth come, Can larger hairs be far behind? The Senior Girls ' annual hare and hound chase was the event of the school ' s second week, and can be rated as a success despite the fact that Mother Nature shed briny tears on the occasion, which failed signal- ly to dampen the ardor of either the hares or the hounds. A 3 p. m. on Friday afternoon the girls of the school assembled, — Miss Weber in charge of the Whites, while Miss Nathan led the Greens — and took up the trail left by the Seniors, which meandered in strange and un- used by-ways, and sometimes all but vanished, requiring keen eyes to fol- low, ending eventually in Maddox ' s Grove, the Greens victor over the Whites by a narrow margin. Re- freshments were served to both vic- tors and vanquished by the Senior Girls.

Never seek to tell thy love, Love that never told can be; For the gentle wind doth move Silently, invisibly. I told my love, I told my love, I told her all my heart, Trembling:, cold, in ghastly fears. Ah! she did depart! Soon after she was gone from me, A traveler came by, Silently, invisibly; He took her with a sigh. — William Blake.

reSS NOES ; - r- r:?x. f : zil ??- . ■?;: : r -Trrrr m BETHMAN, IN TALK, COMPARES MAN TO A 3 CYLINDER ENGINE TALK BY Y. M. C. A. MAN Mr. Hoisington, assistant state secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was with us several days ago and gave us a splendid talk on what one should do to fill in his niches in life. He told the traitor story of Benedict Arnold to illustrate his point. He said that we were all Fords, having a moral, a social, a religious, and an intellectual tire. , . + . .+ . . . . . . 4l . ., ESSAY ON PENITENTES The Penitentes — from a Spanish cross to a chosen place where it is A erected, and he is nailed to it and left for some period of time. He is taken down after unconsciousness is reached. The burial of the crucified is supposed to take place, but rarely does. In my experience I have known of a living baby being suffocated by the Penitentes. I was also acquainted with an old Mexican who lived at Petaca, New Mexico, who suddenly disappeared from this place. It was soon after the Penitentes had cele- brated Lent ,and we learned that he had used barbed wire with which to lash himself. Death followed as a result of blood poisoning and lack of care. In another town one of the prettiest children is always chosen as a victim to be fed to a snake. It almost seems impossible in this day and age that such conditions could prevail in any section of our country. It would seem that some attempt should be made to remedy conditions of this kind. H. M. PINGREE LECTURES On Monday, February 11, the stu- dents again had the pleasure of hearing H. M. Pingree, state super- intendent of the Methodist Episcopal churches, give a talk on principles of accomplishment. This was an exceptional delight, as it came in the morning during the regular reci- tation periods. The following is a brief summary of his talk: ' ' When you are young, take ad- vantage of all that life offers. It is great to be young, and youth is the flowering, the most beautiful, the most enjoyed and the strongest per- iod of a person ' s life. To go to school is a privilege, an opportunity, in fact it is a preparation, not only for one ' s future, but for future gen- erations. To get the benefit of study, get your lessons, and contin- ually have an object in view. Then of most importance, whatever you do, DO WELL. Think while you are doing it, that is what your head is for. Make every accomplishment a masterpiece. This speech was brief and concise, and delivered in a forceful, inter- esting manner.
