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.

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.
