Master Henry Harrington Jr. issued forth on a quest of amusement. He dropped down in the hammock assuming an air of boredom. He fell to soliloquizing,— “Gosh, but Ferdinand De Dupit makes me sick to my stummick! I spose he’ll come souping aroun about 8:30 to see Miss Annabelle an’ I s’pose she’ll make me get off’n this porch —my porch—the porch which has been owned and occupied by Henry Harringtons for years, an’ then I’ll bet two bits they talk about the moon an’ Ferdie’ll say he used to go to the op’ra every evenin’ when he was winterin’ in town , an’ then Ann ’ll say she ‘just adores’ grand op’ra. an’ I know she’s never even seen one of um. I suppose dear little Henry’ll have to go to bed so he won’t disturb Annabelle and her beau—Gee, they make me want to leave home! At this juncture Annabelle Harrington flitted out upon the porch. She rearranged the fleur de lis on the table and smoothed the pillows. She wore a gown of filmy white, and her hair was simply done—low in her neck. As Henry’s eyes lighted upon her, his lip curled. Guardian Angel stunt, tonight, huh? I guess mebbe you think the once over won’t be enuf fur him. Say, honest, do yuh think he’ll fall for yuh in that rig? You make me sick enuf to go to bed! That’s a sweet child, run along to bed. You must be tired after playing so roughly all day. The high shrill voice of Miss Annabelle carried far down the street and the heart of the approaching Ferdinand missed a beat, but the next instant it caught up for he remembered previous encounters with the sweet child and blessed him under his breath. He had never quite forgiven Henry for leaving a piece of angle-food cake spread thickly with currant jelly and brown sugar in the hammock—but how could Henry tell that on that particular evening Ferdie would wear white flannels ar.d choose to sit in the hammock? Well, mebbe I will—aw say, don’t you think a fella likes to be left alone a minute without being kissed by girls? protested Henry Junior as Annabelle sought to express her appreciation and affection. Henry disappeared in the darkened hall just as Ferdie ran lightly up the steps. The accustomed greetings followed and for half an hour they discussed the moon an’ grand op’ra . At length the conversation become more personal and f erdinand turned passionately to Annabelle. You are like a flower tonight—stately and fair, murmured the man. it was at this point that the silent member began to be interested. I think there is nothing more beautiful than white flowers,” continued Ferdie. “Oh, Ferdie, whispered the girl in an awe struck tone. I think that’s wonderful. I think people are like flowers, don’t you? Now, for instance, you remind me of a purple-fleur de lis —(Inspired by the sight of the blossoms on the table). And, you remind me of a white flower— a lily—with a halo about it— and at this point the third party groaned under his breath— Wouldn’t that make yuh sick? he questioned his silent partner. Ferdie resumed— Tall, stately —a hideous cry broke the stillness of the night! It seemed T HE 1) A R T 13 to come from under their very feet. For a moment they stood speechless. The cries rose louder and louder. With each cry Ferdie became paler, and finally Annabelle sank weak and helpless into a chair. Oh Ferdie, can’t you do something? she gasped—go see who it is. Maybe they’re dying or something. Oh hurry. I’m so frightened! Don’t look that way, Annabelle. Don’t you know that I’ll protect you? protested the hero, I’ll go and see what it is, and Ferdie strode down the steps. 1 he cries became more and more terrifying to each participant in this little drama with the exception of one. That one lay in close proximity with the floor of the porch and the foundation of the house. “ I hat’s it, he whispered hoarsely, squeal louder—why don’t you just yowl? ‘Make ’em sorry they ever chased me off my own front porch. Aw—hurry up ole thing, screech away er I’ll bust your head in. It was with uncertain step that Ferdinand De Dupit made his way down the steps and with still more wavering determination that he approached the region whence the sound issued. The barberry bushes grew thic kly about the porch, quite shutting from view the space roofed by the porch floor. Only by stretching out upon his stomach and wriggling had Henry succeeded in reaching his secluded refuge. Ferdie parted the bushes gently and peered in but merciful darkness obscured his view. Annabelle clung weakly to his arm, and with difficulty he finally focused his flash light on the object of interest. A human form lay quite still! Occasionally cries issued but they seemed weaker, almost as though the victim were reaching the end of his endurance. Annabelle suddenly screamed— Oh. its Henry and probably he’s dead. He insisted on eating the most horrible combinations tonight —molasses and sugar on custard pie, and he complained of not feeling well after it and—, One ear splitting scream rose upon the air then came silence. At this point Mr. and Mrs. I larrington becoming alarmed, left their library to inquire the cause of such disturbances. At the sight of her mother, Annabelle, weak and nervous from the excitement, began to cry. “It’s Henry, she sobbed, and I guess he’s dead under the porch, and Ferdie can’t get in because the hole's too small and— “ I here, there, soothed her mother, “I guess he’s all right. Maybe his stomach is out of order”. Mr. Harrington comprehended the situation. Memories of summer evenings, long ago, big sisters and sissy beaux surged thru his mind and with a smile of understanding he stepped quickly to the opening and in a voice too low for the others to hear called softly to Henry. Yes, sir, came the weak response. Mr. Harrington turned to the others. I think Fler.ry is feeling better now. he said, but perhaps if he could lie in the hammock— It was five minutes later when Henry safely ensconced in the hammock, with Mr. DcDupit disappearing in the distance, heaved a sigh of content. It was a dirty shame that I had to lose that good ole frog but it did the biz alright, didn’t it. dad? Did you hear it squawk when I finally got the snake to swallow it? Gosh, didn’t it scare Ferdie though? It squawked all the way down the snake and then it howled awful at the end. Did you hear it dad? Yes, son, I did hear it.” answered his father and then they were silent. I he Henry Harringtons were again in their rightful domain. A certain college professor wore side whiskers, and whenever he suggested removing them, there was a division of opinion in the family. One morning he appeared before his wife, razor in hand, and one side neatly shaved. How do you like it, my dear? he asked. If you think it looks well, I will shave the other side, too. —Independent. THE “DART” STAFFS. (For Names see Page 22) T H E D A R T 15 fCrttrra ij SECOND PRIZE STORY BY LOLA M. REMICK m O you believe lhat the reason the Germans are making such a strong drive against you at Verdun, is because their nerves have been so dulled by ether that they know no fear? I asked this question as a feeler, for I was working for a big human interest story for the Sunday supplement of my paper, The New York I imes. For months the papers had been filled with descriptions of military tactics, machine guns, and life in the trenches, all of which emphasized the statement that War is Hell. (The matter of fact English soldiers with whom I was talking, that of their part in the war in the same unromantic way that they had regarded their duties in the London offices, which they had left at their country’s call.] I had questioned in vain, in regard to deeds of heroism, thrills and sob stuff. These phlegmatic Englishmen had no desire for celebrity. As a last resort, 1 asked if there never was any romance connected with war. At this a slow smile spread over the faces of the soldiers, and then they burst into a hearty laugh. I noticed a young fellow who was called E. Rawdon, by his fellow soldiers. (I knew his name was Dick and had wondered at the E), who seemed to appreciate the apparent joke more than the others, and also seemed to be exceedingly embarrassed. Well, the joke is on me, and I guess it is up to me to tell it, he began. You can take it or leave it, but I think you will realize my feelings in the affair. “You see, one day, as some of us were conversing, mostly about the last attack, some fragments of cloth, paper and shavings came floating down by us. I his was nothing very unusual, for the packings of bombs often are blown long distances after the explosion. As I talked, I picked up a bit of newspaper, and casually read the words: Societv wel- comes the opening of a new country place at Bar Harbor this week by Frances Manning, well known in society circles. I remarked how exceedingly interesting was this bit of news, and passed the paper around. I hat was the beginning of the end, for someone, I can’t tell who, (lucky for them) suggested that Dick Rawdon write to the young society belle and thereby create a love romance. It didn’t take much urging, for with my love of excitement, I thot it would be an interesting adventure and it was interesting all right! 1 he first letter I wrote read something like this: My Dear Miss Manning: I am a poor but distinguished Englishman, serving my country in the war. I learned from a newspaper article that I happened to pick up that you have opened a new country home at Bar Harbor. Now, I know you will take pity on a poor lonesome soldier, and make me happy by writing to me. Address, Dick Rawdon, Regiment 3, before Verdun. Well, as soon as an answer could be expected, one came. It was a very nice little note, short but sweet, saying that she was interested in soldiers and would like very much to hear from me again. And you can bet that it wasn’t long before she did. I he brief formal notes gradually led to a steady correspondence. Her letters were lovely, and enough to make anyone fall in love with her. And that is just what I did. or thot I did. Each time her letters were more intimate, and in reply to an unusually friendly one, I wrote something like this: Dearest Frances: You have made me so happy. Your letters THE CAST OF THE SENIOR PLAY, 1916 T H E are the only ray of joy in my life. Since you, tho unseen, have entered my life, the sun has shone for me, the stars have appeared for me, and the moon has risen for me. I think of you by day and dream of you by night. Your dear face (which I have never seen) is before me always. Now, dearest, it is with trembling hand and heart that I write these words: Will you be my wife? Some day this war will be over, and then, with you as my own, the clouds will vanish forever. Waiting ar.d praying. I am. Your Dick. I he next days were agony for me. Would she accept me? She must care for me. for those wonderful letters! It was not long before I received the wonderful (?) answer, written on the business paper of brands Manning Company, and contained the laconic reply: Dear Dick: “Not E but I.” Ar.d that is why I am called E. Rawdon. “The Senior Play” Playing to two splendid audiences in the new High School auditorium, the Senior class of 1916 successfully presented the college drama. ‘At the End of the Rainbow. In view' of the fact that this play is especially hard to produce owing to the great amount of taler.t required and also because of the small number in the class, the Seniors are to be complimented on their work. At the End of the Rainbow” is so well balanced as to parts that each one taking part was given an equal chance to show his or her ability, and there can be no distinctions made, as each member of the cast performed wonderfully well. Music was also introduced, and the four musical specialties added greatly to the beauty of the play. The cast was coached by Mrs. M. J. Warren, who needs no introduction to Ashtabula audiences, and to her a great deal of credit should be given, for Mrs. Warren realizes what an audi- I) A R T 17 ence wants, and is able to get it from her cast. Prom the two performances $325.00 was realized, and this money will be turned in together with that of the class of 19 I 5 for the purchase of the scenery for the stage. The Senior class feels that they have received loyal support from the people of Ashtabula at both of the productions and wish the classes to come as great a success or even greater than we have enjoyed this year. Metrical Translation Book IV, Line 457-474. Martha H. Stone 16 Also, there was in her household A shrine to her dear dead husband, A shrine bound with fillets and garlands, Which she was accustomed to worship. Here, when night held the world in deep darkness. Came the voice and the form of her husband, While the horned owl's loud lamentation Echoed thruout the high archways. And the ancient predictions of prophets Roused fear by their terrible warning. E’en in slumber, this very Eneas Ruthlessly increased her raging. Forever she seemed one deserted. Alone she made tiresome journeys. Seeking her Tyrian subjects In a land without habitation. Just so had Pentheus demented Seen the line of terrible Furies. Visitor’s Day Visitor's day in A. H. S. was a big success. I he parents of the students and the general public were invited to visit our new building and get an idea as to how we work in our new home. Hundreds of people visited the building during the two days and w ere very much impressed by the beauty and serviceability of the building, it was our first formal opening to the public and we students feel that our fathers and mothers can now realize why we are so enthusiastic about our school, and why we intend to out-stride every school in the state. 18 THE I) A R T IC ii i£=S iimtfirr Ulatlu'nmlirs THIRD PRIZE STORY =bm 3Bii--------Bm BY MARTHA H. STONE IQIInil (liven:—Dick, a boy with bright red hair and a six loot smile. An automobile. Jane, a girl with laughing eyes and a dimpled chin. A summer night. To Prore:—Two plus two equals One. It is May, soft, gentle, green tipped May. and wonderfully dark o night. On one of the warmest and darkest of these nights, enters Dick Prentice, our hero. As he enters on our vision, he exits from his garage. Not on foot—far be it from such—but in his nice, new, big racer, which is painted white, this being ever the color for purity—and for expensive sporty machines. Swiftly, silently the car glides down the city street and out into the country. Now the engine throbs and purrs, and miles and miles of country road pass by, more throbbing, more purring, a few blub, blubs, and—-halt. No! nothing the matter—that is, nothing that Dick can discover. Plenty of gasoline, plenty of water, spark all right—must be something wrong with the engine, but a search of the car reveals an absence of flash-lights, matches, or other means of lighting which are absolutely essential to a thoro post mortem examination. Curtain falls on Act One. At the rise of the curtain on Act I wo the interior of a farm-house is discovered. A girl is sitting by the table, reading. An old man is asleep in the corner. Thru the window black night is seen. A step without, a shadow passing the window, a knock at the door. Jane—• yes, this is she, our heroine—starts, affrighted. Finally she approaches the door, screws her courage to the sticking point and opens the door, prepared to defy the villan. But no! This time it is not the villian. Isn’t a sleeping father enough? Why add the villan? In the doorway stands the hero. Dick. He is not particularly heroic at present, and yet he is not badly mussed, nor warm, nor tired. 1 he Sherlock Holmes of our audience immediately concludes that the machine which we left in Act One is not far distant from the scene of Act Two. Qyite true, Sherlock, quite true. Dick bows, removes his cap-—thereby lighting the whole room with the glimmer of his gilded dome.—and mi!es his six foot smile. Jar.e returns the courtesy, O’ foolish damsel!— showing the dimple in her dimpled chin. I hty hold low-toned conversation wherein Jane learns that the youth’s name is Dick Prentice, and the audience learns that the maiden’s name is Jane Hart. More conversation, then exit hero carrying a lantern and heroine bearing her head aloft, bather still sleeps in the corner. I he curtain falls on Act 1 wo. Act 1 hree. Scene—Drive at side of Janes’ home. l ime—Three hours later. A big white racer has just come to a stop. Appearances indicate that the car contains two persons in close proximity, bather, alias the villan, comes from the house in a bathrobe and a huge rage. Customary “How dare you. sir?’’ My daughter, O my daughter, and as usual, Dick, the hero, decides that he had better hie him hence. Jane, torn between duty and desire, cries Go, depart! and then, fearful lest she should see him never more, O have a Heart! Dick, seeing the lady in his machine, to say nothing of in despair, answer. My lady, I obey! and e’er the words are spoken hero and heroine vanish, invisible for dust. Father realizes that sixty horse power is greater than one man power, and as he gives consent, the curtain falls on the last act. Who said mathematics and the drama were in no wise related? We have proved otherwise. Eureka! Q. E. D. THE DART 19 THE A. H. S. DEBATING TEAMS to right — Harold Robishaw, Clifton Sanborn. Jane Dickinson, John Green, Ruth Harrington Prof. Weisoll (coach).

The manner in which both sides were argued and the strength of the arguments presented by both sides gave all who heard the debate much confidence in the members of both teams. I laving given the public an exhibition of inter-class debating, both teams began preparation for the big inter-scholastic triangular debate under the direction of Mr. Weisell. 1 hree new members were added to the teams, namely, John Green, negative speaker. Flora Munson, negative alternate, and George Shiya. affirmative alternate. Howard Nazor, former, alternate. w as advanced to affirmative speaker. Both teams were put through routine work in preparation for the debates on May 5. At this time the negative team, speaking in the following order. John Green, Ruth Harrington. Harold Robishaw-, and Flora Munson, alternate, met and defeated by a unanimous decision, the affirmative team at Warren. The Warren Hi was represented by Messrs. Anderson. Pritchard, Noble, speakers, and I lurl-but. alternate. 20 T II E I) A R T On the same night South Hi of Youngstown, sent the following negative team to Ashtabula: Messrs. Datson, Zeve, Kaufman, speakers, and MacDonald, alternate. Our affirmative team was prepared for the Mahoning county organization and defeated the Youngstown team by a unanimous decision of the judges. This affirmative team was composed of Howard Nazor. Jane Dickinson and Clifton Sanborn, speakers, and George Shiya, alternate. Ashtabula has every reason to be proud of its debating teams this year. I hey have established a record never yet equalled by any two debating teams representing A. H. S., by acquiring the unanimous decision on both the affirmative and negative sides of the same question. The closing of the school year of 1916 leaves A. H. S. a record of eight victories and three defeats in its debating history, a record which would do credit to any high school, and of which A. H. S. is justly proud. May the teams of the coming years keep this record as favorably balanced as they receive it from the hands of the teams of 1916. l’se siltin’ here so solemn, l’s lonesome fru’ and fru I want a little sweetheart. Say, don’t you want one, too? I sat me down and thought profound, T his maxim wise I drew: “It’s easier for to like a girl. Than make a girl like you. A lady was looking for her husband, and inquired anxiously of the housemaid, “Do you know anything about your master’s whereabouts? I’m not sure mum, replied the maid, but I think they are in the wash.” Safety—“So Jack is engaged is he, and Fanny is bride-to-be?” First— No, she is the tried-to-be.” Metrical Translation Book V. Line 605-623 Jane Dickinson And now while various sacred games about the mound they played, Saturnean Juno, from heavenly climes, sent his, fairest maid. To seek Troy’s ships, and sent fair winds upon her weary ways, She boded ill to Troy, nor lost her wrath of former days. So now fair Iris swift flew out her multicolored bow And down a secret path she fled, lest some should see her go. Beheld she there, the mighty crowd, she saw the coast before, She saw the harbor wanting all, the crafts alone amid the roar. Off on the strand, alone and sad. the 1 rojan women wail, “Anchises gone! and, looking out to seawar strong hearts fail. Cry they, weeping, All is lost! what reefs and rocks endure! What shoals ar.d shallows lie between us and the grassy moor! They all together beg to rest, sea life is bad at best. So Iris, wisest of the wise, came to them on her quest. First shedding ruthlessly, God’s look and mien divine. And as Beroe, garbed and lined in clear define, Doryclus’ wife, the I ruarian man, once possessed of sons, race and name. So to the I rojan mothers, in such form the maiden came. The old man’s wife was getting into a carriage, and he neglected to assist her. You are not so gallant. John, as you were when you were a boy,” she exclaimed in gentle rebuke. No,” was his ready response, and you are not so buoyant as when you were a gal. T HE I) A R T 21 ®1 ip Sart Vol. VIII.

Art Editor Business Manager Ass t Business Managers Circulation Manager The Law for Women Last October two interesting events in educational history were recorded. Vassar, the first college, fully equipped and exclusively for women with the exception of one, celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. In the ?ame month the Cambridge Law School for Women opened its doors. The first event carries us back fifty years when even our intellectual leaders considered the education gained in genteel funishing schools, quite sufficient for the girls of the day. The second event brings us to the present or at most to the near future when in every field woman is to be considered as mentally efficient as man. For years women have been able to get their degree in law but the new school offers such surprising advantages that it is expected a large number will seize the opportunity. The instruction is identical with that given the men altho the I larvard Law School and Cambridge Law School for Women are separate institutions. The law seems to offer unlimited opportunities for women of that turn of mind. Professor Beale who is in a large part, responsible for the founding of the school is one of its most enthusiastic supporters. I le does not hesitate to speak plainly in regard to this field for women. He believes that many of the great firms who at present have in their employ young men graduated in law to gather evidence and prepare cases will very soon take young women who have had the same training into their offices. I le maintains that their judgment in business matters with which they are familiar is as sound as men’s, their accuracy and care as great and their reasoning power quite as exact. 22 T II E I) A R T The Law is without doubt one of the most broadening of the professions for a lawyer can say with Terence—‘There is nothing in all the affairs of men that does not concern me. A True Democracy We are living in a country which our ancestors founded and called a Democracy. I hey were earnest and industrious, lending a hand to discouraged neighbors and living a simple, wholesome life. This democracy was our heritage. The ancestors who by their labor founded our present democracy, founded it on the principle that all men are created equal— to use a common expression—each is as good as his neighbor. Yet in the struggle to appear as “good as anybody. we lose the very spirit of democracy. It seems to be the eternal struggle to wear as fine clothes, to live in as beautiful a house and to drive as expensive a car as our neighbor. When the people of this so called democracy come to the realization that wealth is not the measure of a man, then can we begin to render a valuable service to the world—to preserve and protect the democratic spirit in its true sense—for by this spirit alone can the finest race of men and the highest type of civilization be developed. ______________ J. D. I6. The Dart As this is the last issue of the Dart this year, and in view of the fact that from a financial as well as a literary standpoint, the year of 19 I 5-1 6 has been a very successful one, it seems that some space should be devoted to comment upon the loyal support that we have received from the student-body. A census of the various papers of the state was taken recently by the Sandusky high school paper, the Fram , and in its May number are printed the results of this census. In making the canvass the exchange editor sent to each high school a card on which questions were asked as to total enrollment and total number of subscribers. The report shows A. II. S. ranking fourth in the state, with 5 I 5 enrolled and 425 on our subscription list. I his is a record to be proud of. The staffs feel quite certain that a paper of such rank could not have been issued had not the students responded as they did. This year the faculty followed the rule of last year, appointing associate editors and assistant business managers, and then promoting them to editors and business managers the next year. 7 he system has proved a success because of the fact that during his or her apprenticeship, he can learn what is expected of him, and in this way turns out better work. The staff wishes to thank those outside of the staff who contributed work, especially Harry Rowe, whose artistic work improved our paper fifty per cent. In leaving the work of publishing th� Dart to the staff of 19 16-1 7 the Seniors wish them every success in their undertaking and hope that they meet with as favorable support as we had this year. On page 14 we print a picture of the 1915-16 Dart” staff. From left to right they are as follows: Standing—Lina Smith. Clara Seaman, David Ford, Harold Johnson, Howard Nazor, Jane Dickinson. Fay Sweet, George Potter. Martha Stone, Walter Stewart. I heresa Smith, Mary Johnson. Clifton Sanborn. Seated—Margaret Stapleton, Lola Remick, John Stewart, Harriet Gallup. Ida Sevenen. Cicero said that many great men of Rome left at their death, likenesses of their bodies, not of their minds. I le inquired if they should not prefer to leave some written expression of their character and ability. Could any staff ask for a better rewaid of their service than that when they were graduated, they might leave behind them not a statue of the class, but an image of the minds of the members of the class? So the Dart Staff of 1916 desire that this, the last edition of the Dart, may be a true picture of the character and ability of the Class of 1916. M. T. 'I 7 T HE I) A R T 23 The Scimitar. Austinburg, Ohio.—1 his paper contains no stcries, and its jokes are too few. We are glad to see you increase your exchange column. Be careful with your cover designs, they are not very artistic. Your athletic notes are good. The Owaissa, Paducah. N. Y.—There is not a sufficient number of stories and jokes here. Your cover design is clever and school notes are splendid. You should have many more cuts but. on the whole, this paper will make some Senior H. S. papers sit up and take notice! The Lyceum. Chillicothe, Ohio.—Your March number is great! We admire the size and quality of this exchange. We notice a mighty improvement in the literary department. Your advertisements are attractively arranged, too, but let’s have more pep in your exchange notices. Ihe Kencowom, Danville, Ky.—The print and paper should be of better quality and some cuts should be introduced. Your stories are interesting but not exciting. “Aeneas and Dido is good. The photographs of the college are excellent. I he Fram, Sandusky. Ohio.— An Elizabethan Romance we think is the cleverest story ever published in a high school paper. It is unusual and most refreshing. Your Shakespeare number is certainly a success. We are pleased with the improvement in your print and paper. Your cover design is not pleasing, aliho in keeping with this number. 1 he Mercury. Milwaukee, Wisconsin.— We hardly ever review a paper without finding something to criticise, but circumstances alter cases for in your periodical we cannot find a single flaw. Must mention y fr� cover design, which is beautiful. The Oriole. Pittsburg, Pa.—We think your literary department is not up to its usual standard, but your cuts are certainly clever. You have a very ordinary cover design but we like the way in which your exchanges are written. I he Anvil, Painesville, Ohio.—Th is is net a lively paper. You seem to have very little school spirit. Try to enlarge all your departments. You should do better with your exchange column. We think the April number is an improvement on former numbers. The Student, Detroit, Michigan.—You have high class material; every department is complete, but do not think that all these things make up for your exceedingly poor print and paper, for they do not! I he cover design is dainty and odd. I he numerous snap-shots are the only cuts which liven up your paper. The Dragon, Greenfield, Ohio.—We are surprised that you have no exchange column and so few cuts. This number disappoints us.

STAPLETON =3 no □C u fr= y= HE varnished soap bubbles the little boy was blowing were pretty things. Smooth and light they were wafted up and up until the force of the strong north wind caused them to collapse. The Destinies, wandering down the beach this sunny morning, were bored. For the last two or three days they had nothing to do that was interesting. It was the same old thing over and over. Clotho proposed sitting down in the sand, for lack of anything to do. So the three Daughters of night sat down, Atropos flinging down her sun-dial petulantly. A bubble of wondrous colors floated around the bank which separated them from the small boy. In amazement they gazed at this pretty thing. Nothing so dainty, so elusive had ever crossed their path. Eagerly Clotho sprang up to grasp it, but with a gentle click, it vanished. She was just about to reach for a second one, when a quick cry from Lachesis interrupted her. She pointed with her staff to this bright green sphere, and eyes opened wide at what she saw. Lightly touching it with her staff, she revolved it slowly, smiling as different things appealed to her sense of humor. The other two goddesses listened to her tale. 1 see groups of funny boys and girls standing near a long, red building. How queer they act. Ho! Ho! See the little man with the big glasses! He is leading them in. Such confusion, as there is in that building, I never saw before. Nobody pays any attention to them, but you couldn’t tell them that. After a time Lachesis’ interest decreased. Everything was going smoothly now. She had caught the name of these small people. ‘‘Freshmen’’ is what they call them, she told the goddesses. “They speak of them with contempt ”—perplexedly, “I wonder why?’’ They are bright little things. Now Lachesis did not know that the brightness was only skin deep and of a greenish hue. From time to time she reported doings of the Freshmen to the other goddesses. She worried a good deal over their terrible mid-year exams, and anxiously counted the failures. The bubble did not expand much and gradually the green tint faded. Unexpectedly it vanished. But with a little chuckle of delight Clotho pounced on another one. The coloring was rather somber. These little people were to be seen, a little older, not much wiser. Nothing exciting happened, they were still squelched but dignified looking people. As soon as the class organized, they came more to the front. Their first party was a great success, given at the home of a student who lived in the country. It is said these Sophomores had unusually good literary programs. Everyone was pretty studious and their representation on the honor roll was good. Then after Christmas they arranged for another party. What person will forget that ride home? Who does not yet hear the excited shrieks of the girls when the hugh sleigh tipped clear over? I hat parly was really the best one any class ever had. After this, events were few and far between. In June this second year ended. Some flunked! However, this element is always to be found, and in the long run it looked as if this class had a good future. Much to the apprehension of the goddesses the third bubble fell to the lot of Atropos, the inevitable. But she began most unconcernedly to relate what she saw, just as if the other Destinies did not fear her instrumer.t for cutting the thread of life. I his bubble was not much T II E I) A R T 25 different from the others. Atropos told them the class had organized again and the students realized that this year meant business. They all worked earnestly. Their number was smaller, but still enough to deserve the name of “Juniors' . Some students contributed to the “Dart,” for the class stood high in regard to literary ability. Everyone was shown a little more consideration. Seniors noticed them, even talked with them. Some even came to their first and Junior party. The school weeks went by all too quickly. A few slacked up in their studies after the first semester, but not many were hopless. I he big social idea now was the Junior-Senior Reception. Ah—that night of all nights the Juniors proved they were royal entertainers. Soon Commencement time for the Seniors came. The Junior girls ushered and others decorated the theater-box so tastefully that it satisfied everyone. This night ended up the much dreaded work of the third year, which did not equal its reputation. Just at this time the little boy grew tired of blowing bubbles and threw down his clay pipe. But just a tiny bubble oozed out of the stem of the pipe and with much struggling broke away, floating in the direction of the others. It grew to be a beauty. The colors were wonderful and yet mysterious. All three goddesses gathered around it. Instinctively they knew something of the unusual could be seen in this one. They saw that the class of 16 was diminished. 1 his year was their last one. But it was a good year. So much depended on them. I heir literary society must be the very best. 1 hey were watched closely by Freshmen who were awed. They were the least of the Sophomore’s troubles and the only stone in the path of the Juniors. Prominent lecturers talked to them. 1 hey did not have much time for social affairs, so much outside work was brought in. I heir debating team was organized with a good reputation to back them, for had they not won from the Seniors of last year’s class? The Clytean Club met and arranged splendid programs. The Senior boys starred in athletics. But after January there was a slight tendency to fall below the usual standard of work, but everyone had his warning. Several times the Seniors lost their dignity; for instance on “class day, everyone wore the class colors in the most outrageous manner, with a view to attracting attention, which was most speedily accomplished. W hen the first of April came, it brought the delightful task of moving into the new building. Now the goddesses pressed more closely to this magic mirror. They admired the graceful lines of this wonderful building and were glad that the class of ’ I 6 would be able to graduate here. Now everything came in a rush. One grand finale and everything was ended. I he Seniors were entertained informally by the Juniors and were given an unique program. The debating teams met with success every place. 1 he Senior play was presented with great excitement on the part of the Seniors. Now the next thing was Commencement, the acme of the four years. All over with now. Yes, 'tis true, but pity tis, tis true. So this last beautiful bubble slowly ascended and danced out on the blue waves closely followed by Lachesis and Clotho. 1 hey both kept Atropos, the inevitable, at her distance, in this way, guarding the fate of the Class of 1916. I alk about being hungry— I was as hungry as a bear. So walking into a dairy lunch, I ate off the arm of a chair. — Widow. Mr. Gibler (at Senior Play rehearsal): Now why can’t you girls laugh? Look down here at me and try it. (Could they laugh? Well you look at him and see if you can help it.) Algebraic equivalent of zero— I was in a pawn broker’s shop the other day, and altho it was crowded with fellow beings, a wave of unalterable loan someness seemed to overtake • • me. 26 THE DART It is twilight. The shades ol evening are softly stealing thru the sky, and with them come tender recollections up the vista ol my years. The evening of my life is near at hand, and my thoughts are with the past—what a happy, fruitful past it has been! I have lived to see the things at which I scoffed come true; to see the youthful jests or aims become realized ambitions. But w ait—I shall light the reading lamp and thru the medium of faithfully recorded events, take you back over some of the happiest events. I think that of my early days I’ll choose the day of our Senior picnic to tell of first. 1 he day was an ideal June day, one of those hazy lazy, brilliant days, the brassy sunshine penetrating even leafy woods. We were romping thru the woods like Indians let loose, when someone discovered a spring, and close beside it a heap of wood that later proved to be the abode of a gypsy fortune-teller. Our noisy approach brought her eagerly to the door, and she was soon among us, asking if w-e want know what goin’ happen to us. We laughed and joked a while but before long some of the more curious gave in, and she was busy at her task and we quieted, for suddenly her words became significant and precious. F irst, she chose John, and, peering intently at his palm and face, she said, I see a tall, gaunt President, a man greatly loved by all his people; they call him Old Abe; you have his attributes and will follow in his footsteps, your career guarded over by an auburn-haired wife whose ambitions know no bounds. 1 hen to Clifton: A group of men they call a ‘Cabinet’; you are Secretary of the War Department, but your aim is Peace; and to Jane, A busy newspaper office, reporters, workers, rushing to ar.d fro at your command. Here Homer’s impatience demanded the gypsy’s attention, and she turned to him; The oilfields have been productive; you are known as Oil King;” to Marguerite Klumph, For you a work you love, a bright and busy kindergarten. Fay Sweet’s turn came next: “A surgeon of the highest possible acclaim, a name written large in the mind of the Future, and to Bernard: “And yours that of a psychologist of world-wide fame. Here Frank Eddy interrupted and she looked at him and spoke in dubious fashion: “Before you stretches a perilous race course, but your title, ‘Daredevil Racer’, has not been applied in vain.” Howard Nazor, her next objective, received her ultimatum with eagerness, You’ll hold a seat in the Supreme Court of your nation; your counseling is wise and good; “and you, to Marguerite, for you I see a gray-walled cloister in France, across the sea; the name of Mother Superior Elise is known afar. Then Tony caught her eye: Your mission takes you back, a diplomat to your own beloved land, and she swung on Clara: Your career reaches its zenith in the place of Dean at Bryn Mawr College; passing on to Edith Aunger: Your place upon her faculty is professor of German. Your name, pausing at Mabel, is blazoned on the theatres, ‘premiere danseuse’. Then picking up Lina’s hands, she exclaimed, I or such capable hands, only a name as surgical nurse could serve to hold their never dying reputation. Lola’s amused beam interrupted her there, and she told her, with a suspicious glare, Your way lies over hidden roads, as an Writ. tljiji b thr mb of a prrfrrt bag; iElir rub of a toururg. too,' THE DA RT 27 international spy; your risks will be great;” while you,” indicating George Potter, will be a renowned civil engineer, a builder of bridges and dams. Harry Williams strolled up. a gleam of determination in his eyes, and she turned with, Your line of steamships will be the finest in the world; the best cargo that they carry will be the Golden Packard, built by this man, f ord,” and at her gesture David straightened up with pride. I ler eyes rested thoughtfully on Faye Hawks. I believe you will like your work, yes, your ambition shall be realized; you will be matron of the largest orphanage in the States.” At this point Nora came to view. Your name is show'n in blazing letters ‘Golden Alto of the Opera House,’ she passed on to Claire Hughes; And you, as conductor of the Harmonic Orchestra, shall reap the fruits of your training.” It was lunch time but no one knew it or cared, for her words were far too important. Those whose futures had been told gathered breathlessly around, while those who had yet to learn theirs, crowded to her side. Lulu Bixler came next: Your ambition is to own and conduct a Beauty Parlor? Very well, your chance will come when you are twenty-two.” In Harriet’s palm she saw a career as an artist of rare ability; in Arthur’s, success as a banker; in Louis William’s the making of a most excellent scientific farmer. Margaret Westfall accepted her fortune of a foreign missionary, faithful and good. quite philosophically; Ruth Landon was to be a suffrage orator and Charlotte Grover the head of the International Lecture Bureau. Elizabeth Nelson was to be a fashionable modiste, whose gowns were worn and greatly advertised by Gladys Squires, the celebrated Shakespearian actress and Mora Munson, the movie actress, who had captivated audiences the world over. She turned and took Kathleen’s hand and said softly,”You can best go about your mission beautifying the road along which you pass, by following the course of a landscape gardener;” Trances Edson approached her timidly and she learned that she was destined to remain a librarian in Ashtabula, until her marriage. Hazel Swedenborg’s uncle was to leave her a million and a half dollars with which to found and maintain a girl’s school in Sweden; Dorothy Palmer’s ambition of becoming domestic art and science instructor atSmith was to become a reality; Gertrude Wessman’s studio for musical instruction to be the center of artistic genius. Ida’s bright young face came before her next and the old gypsy turned to her and smiled: When you have been selected chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, a disappointed rival will try in vain to oust you. John Green, angry at being delayed, began to expostulate and she silenced him with a calm air; I could not place you at first. I have found your star, you shall be the head of the I reasury Department under your distinguished classmate; and you,’ this to Graham Ridgen, may hold a government position as electrical supervisor of coastal equipments ’’ Ernest Scovil’s patience was at last rewarded with, Your fame shall be spread far as an inventor of mechanical toys that satisfy beyond all hopes. She paused, it seemed as though all must have received their decrees, but David Soules struggled thru the line and stood, panting, before her; ar.d she resumed her task afresh. Ah! your Detective Agency can record no failures, your methods will be too satisfactory and your book-keeper and recorder shall have her share of glory; that position is your s,” and she laid her hand on Mary Palmer's arm. Edith Burroughs stretched out her hand in silence and waited but a moment until the fortune teller said, A saleswoman, but wait — of what?—oh, there is an office here, it seems to be a real estate office, only years can reveal that. Her eyes rested on the group and she perceived two more whom she had not seen before, and she called them to her; to Hazel Torsythe she declared, Farm life is the only thing that will keep your broken health together. 1 advise a chicken farm. You must experiment and find 28 THE DART The Old Homestead a new breed of fowl;” and to Margaret Dunn she assigned a place as a settlement worker, a Jane Addams, the second. She ceased then, and held out her hands for the rewards of her work. I he spell was broken, and again we laughed and jested. But we have found out since that memorable day, that life’s surprises are many and that the events of that day constituted one of the, for every prophecy has been fulfilled. Exchange Continued from Page 23 and your paper is up-to-date all through, but your exchange column is not very good. The editorial on exchanges is interesting as well as edifying. The Red and Black. Meadville, Pa.—We admire the skill with which you have handled the Shakespeare issue. Usually these Shakespeare numbers arc disappointing, but this one is good. The ‘Dart staff would never use colored paper and print. It hardly seems tasteful. A Chinaman was brought before a judge in Salt Lake City and received a fine for a slight misdemeanor. But the magistrate couldn’t seem to make him understand. “Look here, man, disgustedly, you pay one dollar or go to jail. There was no gleam of intelligence from the Oriental. The officer who had arrested him came up: “Say, you dish-face, you’ve got to pay a five-dollar fine. You’re a liar,” yelled the Chinaman; “its only one dollar.” John G.: Hello, there, say! would you loan me ten dollars for a week, old man?” Howard N.: “What weak old man? First Grad.: What’s the tooth brush for?” Second Ditto; That's muh class pin; I graduated from Colgate.” Just a simple, quaint old farm-house. By a silv’ry, rippling brook. But far grander than a mansion. In this quiet, shaddy nook. It is finer than a palace For tis home, sweet home to me. And each spot upon the homestead Holds some precious memory. ’Neath the shade of yonder birch tree Oft I sat in day-dreams rare. Those were days when life was fairest. And my heart was free from care. By the winding creek 1 wandered. Oftentimes in sunset’s glow, As the wide world sank to slumber. And the soft night breeze did blow'. Oh! the happy home cf childhood. How I long for scenes of yore! But alas! they’re gone forever, 1 may know them nevermore. Laurence C.: Won’t you take a ticket? We re getting up a raffle for a poor Galveston flood sufferer. Mary J.: Heavens, r.o! I wouldn t know-what to do with him if I won.” Won’t you take a seat? said the man in the street car, as he lilted his hat to the pretty girl. “No. thank you, she replied; “I’ve been skating all the afternoon and I’m tired of sitting down.” How did you ever get promoted from shoe clerk to the brass band?” Oh. they let me play the foot-notes cn a shoe-horn” Arthur L.: “That Morris has a magnetic personality.” Henry G.: Yes, I noticed he charges everything he buys.

A neat sum of $300 was netted Friday and we feel sure that every one present was satisfied with the field, for at Bula there is not one event that can not be witnessed by all Paul Hogan and Harry Hall proved to be Ashtabula’s strong men, while C. C. Catlin of Jefferson copped the individual honors of the day with a neat record of 20 points. I he track is somewhat heavy as yet and owing to the fact that a high wind prevailed, records were not smashed in the runs but a county record of I 0 feet 4 4 inches was established by Barber of Conneaut in the pole vault. Conneaut came up strong in the meet and several times nearly overtook the safe lead of A. H. S. but after a pretty relay race in which Ashtabula showed they had some real sprinters the meet went to the black and gold with the sum of 37 points. The other teams totaled as follows:-—Conneaut 26; Jefferson 22; Harbor I 2; Geneva 3; G. R. I. 4. The order of events are as follows: 220 Yard I lurdles: h irst heat—-Hogan. Ashtabula, won.

And showed her no contrition, Because the artful minx inquired: When is the next edition?” He took her headlines in his arms And murmured, May I kiss you? “I’ll be your galley-slave,” she sighed. “I can’t evade the issue. You make me want to wed, He sighed; she held aloof. And said, Your want ads to my joy. But let me see the proof. He rhymed some copy to her then. (For better or for worse). An inkling of his lead she scooped. And said, I’m not averse. Dentist: Open wider, please; wider. Patient: A-a-ah. Dentist (inserting rubber gag, towel, sponge): “How’s your family? Candor He: You used to say there was something about me you liked.” She: Yes, but you’ve spent it all now. —Widow. Children, said the Sunday school teacher, this picture illustrates today’s lesson: Lot was warned to take his wife and daughters and flee out of Sodom. Here is Lot and his daughters, with his wife just behind them, and there is Sodom in the background. Now, has any girl or boy a question before we take up the study of the lesson?” Pleathe, thir. lisped the littlest, where’s the flea? Harry Williams, in Civics: “West Point is at Annapolis. How did you convince yourself that you couldn't afford to own an automobile? Pure luck on my part. She wanted to clean up a dress and she bought a gallon of gasoline.” Villa may have taken the grin out of gringo, but he left the go.— Independent. Bernard Carney (trying to explain the white smudges on his coat): I don’t know what it is; ask that girl over there; she’s got the same stuff on her face. Customer at Sanborn’s: I want a pound of coffee in the bean.
