In a lonelv garret, far from all the turmoil and con- fusion of business and travel, where a death- like silence permeates the atmosphere, there sits a youth. In one hand he grasps an ink bespattered pen, and with the other he is gently tearing his matted locks. Now he writes furiously on a large pad of white paper, now he stops and resumes the hair tearing process. Again he writes and again he tears his hair. Now he silently and swiftly demolishes the paper on which he has been Writing and wildly hurls the pieces to the four winds of Heaven. Once more does he proceed to rend what still remains of his matted locks. The clock strikes three. Once again he grasps his inky pen with a firm Half-Nelson and once again he makes the ink ily like sixty for one brief moment. Again he ceases and hurls down hisipen with an agony,-'born of dispair. It is no use. There is but one resourceileft. Shall he dare do it ? Terrorqwhispers, Non necessity bellows, Yes, in a tone of thunder. Still he hesitates. iThe conse- quences! No, no, he cannot. 1But, he must. Is there no escape? None. He has promised. He rises from his seat, with tottering foot-steps he seeks the bureau. He opens the upper drawer! One final re- gret ! With trembling hand he takes from its dark recesses a current number of a lead- ing magazine. He hurries back to the table, hastily copies the principle story, labels it submitted for prize competition, and mails it to the editor of the Silhouette. Ye gods, what next ? W joan of Arc successfully led an army to victory. But did she ever go to a picnic and not scream murder when a little grass- hopper jumped down her neck? History is silent on this point.

As each succeeding class persists in this custom the stock of plays by this immortal bard is natur- ally growing smaller year by year and we were very fortunate in hitting upon his happiest comedy, As You Like It, for our own production. This play was partic- ularly adapted for our class g so rich in the music of Amiens, bird-like CPD songs g so smooth in plot 3 so far from all suggestion of boisterousness 3 so witty, so melancholy and so charming, it alforded an opportun- ity to display every branch of talent that our Class possesses and that is saying a great deal for the play. A feature which appealed especially to the undergraduates, was the wrestling match in the hrst act when Orlando throws the professional wrest- ler of the Duke. The lower class men look up to us as a class abounding in athletes and admire us for our prowess in this direct- ion, and so this part of the pi-ogr-3111 5913111011 quite in keeping with a class that has made the record that 1902 has. Our version of As You Like It, was presented in the Assembly 1'OO1l1 Q11 1119 evening of April 4, and was a success 611311- cially as well as drarnaticallyg our friends tell us that it quite overshadows the attain- ment of any preceding class, and We chal- lenge those who follow us to equal it ifthey can. The success of the play was, in 3 large measure due to the careful and pains- taking work of Mr. Bartlett in selecting and drilling the cast, and to Miss Lamey Who superintended the costuming, and to the hearty co-operation ofthe students and other teachers of the school. One-fourth of the gross proceeds ofthe play was given to the Athletic Association, and it is understood that the various manag- ers had a little bit of excitement in the divis- ion of the spoils CPQ 3 at any rate the Asso- ciation is again out of debt. The remaind- er of the money, about eighty dollars, is to go toward the purchase ofa class memorial, probably a window for the west arch in the Assembly room. The school cannot be to proud of the High School Orchestra, which, under the leadership of Mr. XVillian1 Purdy, added very much to the pleasure and success of the evening. Our thanks are also due to the young men of the third year who so kind- ly lent their assistance, and to Mr. Lawton of the Burtis Opera House, for his timely artistic assistance with the scenery. After the play a flash-light of the actors was taken by Mr. Krzuner. svxovsis. ACT. I. Sci-:Ni-: i--Garden scene. Sul-:xx-1 2--The same. . Scicxxa 3---.-Xu apartment in the palace.

THE SILHOUETTE. 6 . ATHLETICS. PRQPERLY organized Athletic Association is an important factor in any school. We x have a right to be proud of our association and the good it has done for its members. A few short years ago the athletics of the Auburn High School were in a very precarious condition. There was no Association, no regularly organized teams, no scholarship requirements, and no school enthusiasm in the work. To-day all is changed 3 we have one of the best and most carefully conduct- ed Athletic Associations to be found among the High Schools of the State. All the athletics of the school are completely under the control of this Association, and the result 'is that we have gradually come to be a power in the eyes of the various schools with which we come in contact. We have a wise and good constitution, and it is carefully lived up to. A student must be a student in good standing before he is' allowed to play on any of the teams. The games are continually talked over in school and great interest and enthusiasm is at all times manifest among the students. Under these conditions, athletics must prosper, and the 'brilliantrecords made by all our teams since the formation of our Association, speak volumes of the value of such an organization. The thanks and congratulations of the school are due Mr. Warner, President of the Association,under whose guidance it was organized, and our athletics brought into prominence from the gloom which shadows their earlier existence.

Success C1-Owned its efforts upon the gridiron, and to such an extent that not once during last fall did an opposing team lower the maroon and white, a remarkable record, for any team to make, but really wonderful for our own when the class of the teams pitted against us is taken into consideration. With a very strong nucleus from the team of 1900 and several new comers upon which to build a foundation, Captain Hosmer and Coach Hennessy started at work early in the season to round out the material and put the team in the best possible condition. Meanwhile Manager Murdock had arranged a complete and well-placed schedule of games, the list when completed containing some of the fastest elevens in the State. Our first game, with the strong East Syracuse High School eleven, was played at the Y. M. C. A. Field, September 28. The residents of East Syracuse are 'drm be- lievers in the benefit to be derived from edu- cation, thorough education, for if the mem- bers of their football team are any criterion the roll call of their School has contained the same list of names from its inception and in all probabilities will for some time to come. They were the fastest set of runners as a team that ever came into Auburn and as for size, they would have made front-rank members of King Edward's Royal Guards. But they lacked a knowledge in the fine points of the game, in which Auburn was thoroughly schooled and although we won by the close score of I2 to ro, we were, nevertheless, by far the better team. The following Saturday, October 5, we played the University Preparatory School of Ithaca, considered the best preparatory school eleven in tl1e State. NVe scored touchdown after touchdown, almost at will. and lack of time prevented us from rolling up a larger score than 16, while our giant opponents took o for their side of the tally sheet. October 12, occurred what was probabll' the football event of the year in local circles. We defeated, on that date, Syracuse High
