Secretary : 13 JUDITH EVERETT, 10 EDITORIAL March, and the school year more than half over ! What have we done, thus far, to make it worth while ? With some of us, this is our last year at any school ; are we making the most of it ? Doubtless we have all heard people say, regretfully, “Well, I ' d like to repeat my four years at High school. I never appreciated my opportunities and I just let things slide.” Is this going to be the case with us? Are we going to mourn lost opportunities. The remedy is, — don ' t lose them; hang on to them; make the best of them while you can. The hardest pull is before us now, these last months always seem the longest and most difficult. Just take a firmer grip on that plough-handle that is talked so much about ; don’t look back complacently on what you have done, — look ahead and plan something worth while that you’re going to do ! SENIOR-JUNIOR RECEPTION. The Juniors reception to the Seniors took place in Cotting Hall, on January sixth- It was originally intended to be a Masquerade, but because of the inconven- ience this would cause some members of the two classes, this plan was abandoned, and a straight dance decided upon. It was a wretched night, but those who braved the storm felt well repaid. The hall was tastefully decorated with crepe paper in the school colors, and the electric bulbs in their red shades, cast a “ dim, re- ligious light” over the scene. The dance orders were well planned, bearing an em- bossed representation of the Junior pin in colors on the cover.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION Punch was served throughout the even- ing, and the groups about the bowl seemed to show that just as the proof of the pie is in the eating, so is the proof of the punch in the drinking. Q. E. D. The Linwood Orchestra furnished de- lightfully “ snappy ” music for the dancing. Altogether it was a very enjoyable evening, and the Seniors wish to extend their con- gratulations to the Juniors on its success. VAUDEVILLE On Saturday evening, January twenty- ninth, the Vaudeville for the benefit of the Athletic Association took place. The Town Hall was crowded to the doors with the largest and most enthusiastic audience our local talent has yet brought forth. The programs were cleverly prepared, and offered a great deal of amusement to the audience. We regret that lack of space prevents insertion of the program. It was a great success, which was, as usual, due in a large degree to the stage director, Mr. Partridge. In round numbers the sum of $jio was cleared to swell the amount in the treasury. LECTURES The third lecture, a reading by Marshall Darrach, took place on Friday evening, January seventh, in the High School Hall. The truth of the remark “to know Shake- spere, one must hear Marshall Darrach,” was evident to all those who were so fortu- nate as to hear his rendering of “ Macbeth.” The pupils of the High school cannot too fully appreciate the advantage it is to attend lectures by such celebrities. Mr. Herbert W. Gleason gave an illustra- ted lecture on the Canadian Rockies, on January twenty-first. The slides were un- usually good, and Mr. Gleason proved a very interesting speaker, giving many in- structive side-lights on the grandeur of the mountains. The lecture was of great value for students of Physical Geography and Economics. On Monday afternoon, January twenty- fourth, Dr. Joel E. Goldthwait, the well known orthopedic specialist, gave an inter- esting talk on “ Poise and its Relation to Human Efficiency.” In plain, direct words, Dr. Goldthwait imparted to his audience a great deal of valuable information, assuring his hearers that the highest mental and physical development was possible only when the body was habitually poised correctly. On Friday evening, February fourth, Mr. William J. Long lectured on “Wild Ani- mals and Wild Instincts” to a large and responsive audience. His knowledge and understanding of animal life is very exten- sive, and he has, moreover, the gift of effectively imparting such knowledge to his hearers. It is always difficult to interest all members of an audience whose ages range as widely as did this, but young and old alike were held spellbound by stories of his personal experience and observation of wild animals. On Friday morning, February eleventh, Rev. Mr. Hyde, of Brockton, gave a most eloquent lecture to the pupils of the High School, on Lincoln, the “ myriad-minded and the mountain-souled.” He spoke of this martyr president in a beautiful, touch- ing way that brought tears to the eyes of more than one person present. The pupils were honored by the presence of several members of the G. A. R., who seemed to appreciate the exercises very deeply. We were delighted to see several of the parents present, and extend to them a cordial invitation to come again.
