It is hoped that it will be as successful this year as it has been in the eight preceding and to make this possible the co-operation of the school and graduates is needed. Every pupil and graduate should be a regular subscriber. At present the paper is largely carried on by the generosity of the advertisers. • Every one is requested to become a con- tributor as well as a subscriber, for the value of the paper depends upon the value of its contents and these depend on the willingness of the school to help in a literary as well as in a financial way. Any person having an interesting story, poem or sketch is in ited to send it to the editor. Remember the Clarion is the school’s paper and it is our representative wherever exchanges are made with other schools. We hear with pleasure that the Senior Social is not far off. These Socials are practically the last receptions of the gradu- ating classes and are always one of the pleasantest occasions of the school year. Each class has its own socials and festivities but the Senior Social is for the whole school. The sympathies of the school have been with Miss Reed during her prolonged illness and a speedy recovery is hoped for. The Debating Club has begun its year with vim and already several very interest- ing debates have been enjoyed. The mem- bership is open to all the boys in the school and the Freshmen are particularly invited for on them depends the future success of the club. The meetings are open to girls as well as boys and all may enter into the general debate. A

2 ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. Before the next issue of the Clarion the Junior Gift will be presented to the school. The only places left for statues seem to be in the dark and secluded places. Perhaps the town will have to add a room to the building where Junior Gifts and Hockey Cups may be exibited. There must be something the matter with the storm whistle, for instead of waking pupils up at 7.15 as was intended, it only serves to tantalize them at 8.15. How would it work to try the 2-2 blows at 7.15 instead of 6.45 ? It would be a mistake indeed not to mention the Freshmen class pins. How fortunate the District Nursing Association was in operation, for the next day after the pins first appeared several scratches showed that the owners had been in close contact with the corners. Was Scott thinking of the spring vacation when he wrote, “ There’s a gude time coming.” A large, life-sized portrait of Nathan Pratt has been recently added to our school. Certainly no more fitting place could be found than its present position at the front of the assembly hall where all may be reminded each morning of Mr. Pratt’s gen- erosity. The equipment of the chemical, physical and botanical laboratories, also many of the art decorations and several fine lectures have been secured for us through the Pratt Fund. The portrait is the work of Mr. Caliga, a distinguished artist. Is there not some member in the school who can compose music suitable to be put with the words of our school song ? It seems strange that the music of a popular song is all that can be found worthy of the words. Perhaps it is unknown to some that the verses were written by a graduate of our school, and this makes it all the more desirable to have the music composed by one connected with the school. During the winter the school has been treated to an excellent course of lectures and recitals through the instrumentality of the Pratt fund. The first lecture was given by Dr. Jaynes. The speaker chose for his subject, “Greek Drama.” All who attended this lecture were well repaid, for the speaker handled his subject in a very interesting and instructive manner. Prof. Baker, of Harvard, gave two very interesting lectures on “ The Drama in Shakespeare’s Day,” and the “ London of Shakespeare.” He emphasized the fact that Shakespeare’s success was attained by “ dint of hard la- bor,” an element which is always prominent in a self-made man. Dean Southwick spoke on “ Hamlet, the Man of Will.” This lec- ture was followed by a recital of Bulwer Lytton’s “ Richelieu, the Cardinal King,” and Shakespeare’s “ Othello.” Mr. South- wick ' s ability to interpret the great plays makes it very instructive as well as enter- taining to attend his recitals. The Senior and Junior classes remember with pleasure the year Dr. Mather spent with us as a teacher and are glad to have him fill the vacancy caused by Miss Reed’s illness. We may well be proud of our hockey team for its showing on the ice this year. This makes the second year we are guard- ians of the new cup. The cup is soon to be presented to the school for a year and at the same time an individual cup will be given to each player on the team. As spring comes the base-ball players are get- ting ready for a campaign. May they be as successful as the hockey team ! Now is the time to get the flags ready, girls.
