4 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION was: In the Wake of the Half Moon.” The lecture proved to be a very interest- ing talk on the Hudson River, and the stereopl icon views were numerous and beautiful. Mr. Sheridan afterwards complimented the Arlington High School on its school spirit. The High School is fortunate this year in that it has lost but one teacher and gained three. Miss Briggs, a pop- ular and successful teacher, who will be greatly missed by her former pupils, was married in June to Roger A. John- son, Ph. I). Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are now living in Columbus, Ohio, where the former is professor of mathematics in Western Reserve University. Miss Pearl Maynard comes to us in Miss Briggs' place from the Hopkinton, Mass., High, where she taugh science and mathematics. Miss Allen and Miss Berry have charge of the division of the Freshman class at the Crosby School. We shall hope to meet and come to know them at our social events. A happy and satisfactory Thanks- giving to every one in any way con needed with A. H. S. Let us see if we cannot improve on the spirit of 1913's Thanksgiving as depicted in the clever Freshman paper in this number by gratefully “counting our blessings and doing something toward making the day a happy occasion for some less fortunate than ourselves.

It has turned out the old Senior Class only to fill the space with a new class, a class so numerous that, like Gaul of old, it is divided into three parts, located in the Crosby, Locke and High School buildings. Seniors, before us lies our fourth year, with its opportunities for success. Let us seize them, for this is for all of us our last year in the schools of Ar- lington; and for many, it is the last year of school life. Juniors! You are upper classmen, now! Don’t forget it ! Sophomores, you are no longer Freshmen. It is up to you to set a good example. Freshmen, we are proud of your class. It is the largest in the history of the High School. We want to hear from every one of you. To all the High School the “Clarion” extends a hearty greeting and very best wishes for the ensuing year. Every one of you should be a regular subscriber and contributor. We desire your hearty support and earnest co- operation that this year may prove a success. The first of the Monday morning lectures was on October 20, when Mr. Sheridan, superintendent of the Law- rence schools, spoke to us. His subject

V . ¥ - iLO THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 5 THE AUTUMN LEAF. Dancing, prancing, tossing, twisting, whirling and swirling in the breeze! Rollicking, troll icking out of the gut- ter, along the sidewalk, through the fence, and over the grass! (.Jli minering, shimmering overhead in the misty twi- light! Crackling cheerfully underfoot in welcome to our every step ! Who but the Autumn Leaf? A vivid splotch of red on the green and yellow land scape merrily singing or rather shout- ing his gladsome message to all the world. And that message is: — (let thee hence, thou sordid care! Hie thee back to thine own lair. Know’st thou not that this is Fall. The gavest, happiest time of all?” B. L. IL, ;14. THE AUTUMN ELF. She came in the night, when all was still. From Dame Autumn's kingdom, o'er the hill : Her eyes were hazel, her hair was brown, She wore on her head an ivy crown ; Into the woodland with stealthy tread. Silently, swiftly, the maiden sped; She kissed the leaves and turned them gold. Bright colors flamed o’er mead and wold ; She waved her hand, and the tall oak trees Shivered and shook in the passing breeze ; Then one by one their leaves fell fast. And the maiden laughed and hurried past On toward the brook, whose waters gay, Gurgled and eddied and rushed away To join the river beyond the plain And hurry on toward the sea again; She shook the trees, and nuts rained ’round. Then picked them up from the dewey ground : With her pearly teeth, she cracked each shell. And her laugh was like a silvr'v bell ; Through all the orchards she hurried on , For she must away e’er break of dawn. She kissed the fruit, as swift she sped, And the apples blushed a rosy red ; But as she clothed the maples old With garments flaming red and gold. A shaft of light gleamed through the air. 'Till the dew-drops sparkled in her hair. - Morn is here, and break of dawn ! Night with its labors now is gone: Gazing around with a happy smile. At wonders worked in so short a while. With a laugh like a tinkling water fall. The maiden heeds Dame Autumn's call. Back to her home among the trees O’er the misty hills the maiden flees. Marion Evelyn Btsiiee, ’14.
