On September 1, 1919, a band of wandering musicians came dancing into the institution of learning, singing the following song: 1. Too soon we leave thy fostering love and care, And with the world our joy and t rearm re share; All due honor, all true fame, We will owe to thy dear name. 2. Our wise teachers all have done their best To train our minds in Latin, Math, and all the rest, Hut seme do shirk and some do cram, Hut more still grin right through till exam. 3. The dear old campus with friendly shade. The green ivied walls and classic halls so staid, Verdant Freshies’ society frays. Will he remembered those days. Chorus: O, High School days, dear High School days, May thy sweet memory linger long: O, High School days, dear High School days, For thee we will he true and strong. “College Song.’’ Class advisor: C. M. Ilammerlund. POPULARITY CONTEST. March 30, the sale of “Oracles” began.

Editorials MANNERS. Manners are the unconscious ex- pression of character. Manners must begin at home for here are the people we love the most so shouldn’t we show courtesy to them? After man- ners have begun at home they should continue at school. If pupils enter the school-room before time of open- ing they should offer the customary “Good Morning” to the teacher there. The teacher should be ad- dressed by her own name and not called “teacher” which is very dis- courteous. When a new pupil enters school those who are accustomed to the place should help to make him feel at home. They should not stare at him when he enters the room or laugh at him when he recites. It is not only ill- bred but cruel to laugh at awkard- ness or oddity of manner or speech. Then when school is dismissed the boys should not rush forward and pass out of doors but should open the door and let the girls pass out first. When the boys do this the girls should not be in too much of a hurry to say. “Thank you.” Always remember to respect your elders, and boys, when meeting girls on the street, always tip your hat, for generally a person’s intellectuality and personality are judged by his manners. THELMA BATTAN “OUR NEW RESPONSIBILITY.” The members of this class of 1920 are about to take their places in this world as adults—up to the present time they have been infants. They have been a charge upon their par- ents for their means of livelihood and upon the state for their education. In the future some of them will seek positions as teachers, as nurses, pro- fessionals, etc. Therefore let us seek and not shrink in our share of respon- sibility for the world’s work. We feel that the world has the right to expect this of us, and this is our re- sponse “Ready and Coming.” MARIE RIEIILE. OVERALLS—THE NEW PURPLE. That the first shall be last and the last shall be first is plainly evident when we notice that the High School boys have almost entirely bought out the home merchants, that they might appear on the scene all dressed up in overalls—their “new purple.” We welcome the boys in their new attire, and trust that they are doing this, not to merely create an excite- ment, bul to save money and cut down the high cost of living, or, per- haps it may be in some cases, the cost of high living. The way to make success in life is not to look like a club man all dressed up in a stiff collar, but be prepared to work. ALDA FRALEY. LOYALTY. When you think of “Loyalty,” what do you really think of? Sol- diers fighting and laying down their lives for their country? Yes. That is one great kind of “Loyalty?” Another form is “Loyalty to School.” Most school girls and boys are loyal to their school in a way; they would- n’t let it be slightingly spoken of; they do not like to see the football and basket-ball teams defeated; and they are usually ready to yell for their school. But, they do all this for their own good, in the spirit of, what will I get out of the school, and not, what will I give to the school. The school is not an in- exhaustible fountain, it needs re- plenishing. After you graduate do you ever think of all that “school” 30
