Un the sixth morning. as he was diligently following the occupation he had chosen for his lite work, and was looking expeetantly l'orw:ird to the happy time when he would be president of the International Twine Combine. he was accosted by the Super. who wore his accustomed bland smile and uncreasecl trousers: his nobs surveyed the results of james' labor. and gently shifting a huge quid of tobacco to the cavity in his left cheek, inquired with a child-like grin : james, would you stop working here if I should discontinue your wages ? Thereupon james looked up with a woe- begone countenance that spoke of blasted hopes, and whispered in a scarcely audible murmur, I would. Then the boss with a relieved air as 'Cl'1011gh a great burden had been lifted from his troubled mind, wandered slowly through the maze of tangled rope and twine, with a benign smile upon his saintly countenance, which was a sign ofhis internal rapture and l0Y, and made his way to the office. That night james received his first en- velope, containing a three dollar bill and SOtne change, together with a note stating that such results as james could furnish Would require larger and more extensive fields, and that the company had discon- tinued his allowance, it could not call them earnings, and that he might go way back and sit down.

On in its happy youth it runs, Lnugliing and diinpling thru its course g Brimniing along its flowery banks, Furtlier, still farther from its source. Wider and wider still it grows, Wancl'ring thru lakes with isles embossed, Now covered with green by lily's pad, Now held and fettered by winter's frost. Deeper and deeper yet it moves, Till it has gained the river's strength, Rolling majestic past hill and vale, Reaching it foward length upon length. Nearer it comes to its fated end, Nearer to where it shall cease to iiow, Nearer the mighty ocean's brink, Even now 'tis bathed in sunset glow. ' One 'dual pause, one last regret, One halt on the unknown's awesome brink, Where the starry heavens shine above, Where the mighty breakers rise and sink. Naught sees the moon but dismal waves Channg the shore of the deep dread sea, All that has come from the spring of hfe Gathered at last in infinity.

,O THE SILHOUETTE. stitution on fthe diamond in many years. We had an exceptionally good lot of mater- ial to pick from, most of last yearis team being available, and with plenty of practice, a remarkably swift nine was developed. To go through such a season as the one just passed and have but three defeats marked up against it, is a record any school may justly be proud of. ' We had some very swift teams on our schedule and held up our end of it in a most creditable manner. With our old time rival, Cascadilla, we had little difficulty, easily defeating her on the Seminary Campus in the irst game of the season. Stiles School had the honor of being one of the few teams that succeeded in defeating us, but we wiped out the disgrace of that defeat by beating the Ithaca lads on their own grounds by a score of 7 to 3. We played our usual games with the Theological Seminary and divided honors with them, each team winning a game 3 we also won an easy victory from the Business College. V This is the first year we have entered into athletic relations with Rochester High School. We defeated that institution both at Auburn and on their home grounds and, although we clearly out classed them in our ability to play base ball, they showed that they possessed the true sportsman's spirit by the way they accepted their defeats and by their courteous and gentlemanly behavior during both games. Such conduct is most commendable and is the best advertisement a school can have. The athletics of Roches- ter High School are evidently conducted on a higher standard than those of the average high school and we hope that our inter- course with that institution may be long continued. For two of our three defeats we atoned by winning the return games, and St. IOl111,S Military School base ball team was the only organization that we' played and did not defeat. The closeness of the score in that one game warrants the beleif that we could have won the second game had if 110'C been canceled by our prospective opponents upon a very trifiing excuse. We cannot speak too highly of the line work done by the individual members of the team, and the excellent showing they have made. This season brings us one step nearer to the high plane of athlet- ics which we are striving for, and ours is a record that will not soon be forgotten. In former years Auburn High School has placed winning teams in the held, but this year, while our prospects were bright at the beginning, good fortune has followed us to the very end, and more has been accom- plished than ever before. This season is the first that ever witnessed our High School play a college team, and we probably gave Rochester University the surprise of her life when her team returned home defeated by a score of 21 to 1 1. Although several good men will leave the school with the Class of 102, there will still remain plenty of excellent timber for a winning team next season, and we hope that success may crown all their eforts.

Bacon has said, The sear leaf of Autumn is as necessary as the fresh bud of spring g the waning glory at the end of a career as the radiant expectancy of its beginning. Therefore regret should not be one of our emotions as we look for the last time over High School course which is so nearly finished, and realize that in a few short days we shall go forth from these portals never again to enter as undergrad- uates. We have been an extraordinary class. Not in numbers, many have surpassed us there 3 perhaps not in scholarship, although we pride ourselves that we rank among the first even in this line 3 but as an all round class, in the recitation room, on the foot ball field, on the base ball diamond, on the track, in social halls, in literary achieve- ments and on the stage, we challenge the world to produce such a class, under the same conditions. It was ,O2,S pleasant privelege to in- augurate a welcome change in the celebra- tion of commencement week. The week of social gaiety which came with her success- ful Completion of her junior year was such a bright spot in the work of the class, was so thoroughly enjoyed by both Faculty and students, that the junior reception bids fair to become one of the most noteworthy ,events in the bright future life of the Auburn High School. The Class of 'oz also had the honor during the week preceding the Christmas vacation to dedicate the custom of a Christmas dance, which we hope will live as long as the High School exists. Many are the victories whose laurels lie on the brow of ,023 many the struggles with fate and with each other. Those were the beginnings now merged into the end. We have done our work well and are now ready to enjoy that time when we shall stand, bashful and modest as usual, before the assembled multitude of undergraduates and friends, whose admiring glances and subdued whispers will speak the rapture and awe they experience at the inspiring sight, and we shall receive the costly sheep-skin to be kept forever as a token of our career, the climax of our desires. And at the same time we will be regarded as the sear and yellow leaf, useless and un- wanted, to be blown away by the next eddying breeze and with the end of the old life begin a new existence. We, following in the footsteps of our illustrious predecessors, have turned our hand to journalism. How well we have succeeded we leave for your good judgment to say. We hope you will be pleased with our effortg but at any rate, if you cannot praise it, if you can see in it nothing worthy Of coinmendation, grant us at least, the charity of silence.
