.Fil Oflb' I N 1? LA OK 'AND l7l7HI'77C. 9 MORNING TALKS. 1 NIC ol' the inost interesting leaturcs ol' the school year was the morning talks at chapel. The .tirst speaker was Mr. Toinlins, of New York, who gave a very interesting talk. on music, on Novem- ber ll, 1902. He said that niusie, the beauty of religion, bears an important relation to educationiaiid to lite. Through its niediuin, truth and sincere feeling is awaliened and reflected. The three great forms of inan's activity, knowing, feeling and willing are called into the richest dis- play. The result of this correct and nat- ural attitude toward niusic is to lift man from his personal lite into the universal- life, into a sense of companionship and brotherhood, terminating in the great Fatherhood of God. - On January 16, there were two speakers Mr. Aiken, ot' Auburn, and Prof. Peck, of Owego, one of the regents' conimissioners from Albany. Mr. Aiken's subject was travel. He compared the modes and cus- toms of different parts of the United States with those of Europe. Prof. Peck follow- ed 'giving excellent advice as to methods of study. On March 25, an interesting talk was given by Rev. Mulheron of Auburn. The subject was along his line of work. 'The three fundamental principlesin the building and maintaining oneis character are as follows: Banishment of pride from the heart, unselfishness, industrious- ness. I On May 27, Mr. Goss, President of an American College at Strassburg, Alsace, gave an interesting account of an excur- sion over the mountains on the boundary line between Alsace and France, and also a discription of the circumstances of the naming of America at St Die in 1507, and the recent startling discovery of the long lost charts ol' Waldseeinuller, by Fischer in VVuertteniberg. - On June 3, Mayor Osborne gave a pleasing address to the students and re- ferred to the late Paul VVa.ndke, a High School Alumnus oi' '99 who was persuing a post-graduate course at Cornell when the t'vaphoid lever carried him away. Mr. Osborne said that a niesniorial window should be placed in the chapel to repre- sent manual labor combined with intellec- tual tor which Paul Wandke offered such 7 a noble example and ttthus ho'nor one whose cttect tbr uprightness was everlast- ing.

Our class from its tirst entrance into high school life, has shown an amazing alacrity in rising up on the spur of the inolncnt to master any situ a- tion. lts history throughout is marked by enterprise, industry and originality. lt is stuelded with a long line of brilliant cvcnts. dazzling with success. Such a ca- rccr as ours one of which our class, thc school, its alumni and its successors may shamelessly be proud. '03 has played its short. part- on the worlds stage well and has made its exit: its future success will depend upon the lives of its individual members. Classmates, four long years we have toiled together. The same joys, the saine fears, the same troubles beset- ting us, have woven our lives into a last- ing fraternity 5 our success is thc result ol' the success of our 'individual selves, so let our future efforts be aimed to reach that high mark that we have established as members of the Class of 703. lt befits a graduating class to Inete out some advice to the undergraduates. This mav be somewhat questionable in the preseiit case owing to the fact that we are not class-credited with the wisdom of age from whom advice might be more ac- ceptable. So the best we can offer is to follow closely in the footsteps of your es- timable predecessors. Remember that no endeavor is in vain 5 the reward is in the doing. Never be satisfied with present achievements. Always aim at something higher. Have the courage of the blade oi grass that struggling beneath a pile of stones for an existence, says, 'tIf I were born to be hay, I won't die grass. The school as a whole extends it.s kind- cst regards to Miss Ives and Mr. IVarner thanking them each for the exemplary way in which theyliave performed their duties and have helped the students both in the class rooms and outside. And as they pursue their seperate ways we wish for them the best. Shortly before the holidays our class through the earnest efforts of the pin committee selected a class pin. In form it is square, in ornamentation plain, and we rest in the opinion that it is the most artistic pin that has been in the High School or will be for SOIDG time to come. at least it is up to 'O-l to show a better one.

10 zfiicys IN BLA OK AND WHITE- THE CHRISTMAS RHETORICAL. Hli Friday preceding Christmas, ISPOZZ, was an eventful day for the Classot UI3. The program was carried out with our usual success and plainly displayed the fact that the Class of '03 fully equalled its predecessors in tallellt and ability for rhetorical and dramatic work. The program was divided int-O three parts, the rhetorical in the morning the play in the evening and later the Social and dance. 'ru ic Rl-I 1Q'ro1i1cAL. The rhetorical in the morning was one ot' the hest ever given at the High School. The assembly-rooin ha.d been prettily dec- orated with holly and ever-green and an unusually large number of former gradu- ates were present. The pupils opened the exeiicises with a Christmas Carol after which the nieinorial window of the Class of '02 was unveiled and presented to the school by Alec Drunnnond, president of that class. In behalf of the Board of Ed- ucation, Judge George B. Turner accepted it and spoke concerning the great success attained by the athletes of the class in various college contests. As the Class of '02 was pre-eminent, on this account, the window itself is a symbol of the fact and stands as an emblem of their victories. The turning point in the arena is represent- ed i11 the center while the laurel-wreaths and palm branches have their own signif- icance. But it seemed this was destined to be a day rich in gifts for the High School for two other windows were placed at the rear of the platform, and are aigreat addition to the adorninent of the assem- bly-room. These were purchased with funds that are in the hands of the the Art Coinmitt-ee. During the morning the High School tjrchestra rendered sev- eral selections and Herbert VVO0d Sells 3- solo. The remainder of the program COU- sisted' of declamations and recitations. Last, but not least, among the events of the morning was the presentation of a handsome gavel to our president. THE PLAY. In the evening, t'The Cool Collegiansfl a comedy in two acts was presented under the direction of Miss Lamey, before an audience that comfortably filled the large assembly hall. The different roles were well taken and rounds of applause greeted the actors. The title of the play suggests its nature-it was in every sense collegian. The curtain arose on a student's room fil- led with a crowd of merry collegians singing a medley of college songs. As the play was not one in which the players could contend among themselves who should be the star, it is rather a hard matter to make a very sharp criticism. But, withstanding all this, Kennard Un- derwood as Harry Meredith and Julia Anderson as Mrs. Huntoon would prob- ably be selected by the most careful critic as the two out of the bunch who showed up particularly brilliant. Of course, they had the more important parts and natur- ally enough they did the best acting. The amusing combination of young Har- ry's ever-present power of getting out of his pranks and Mrs. Huntoon's innocence took exceedingly well with the audience. 'ln closing it may be said that evervone did their howling succes f view. b9S'U, which made the farce a. s rom all standpoints of THE CAST.
