Historian, George James. The Freshman Class entered High School this year with an enrollment. of thirteen. Out of that number, seven were from the Bacone eighth grade of last year. The others came from schools elsewhere, but were welcomed by the Baconians. However, there are only nine left. There is only one athlete in the class, but we expect Allen Holmes to carry off a goodly number of prizes in the field-meet at the end of the year, for he has already won his letter, and we do not hesitate to predict this. Whatever a member of this class does or endeavors to do, will be done well. The girls are taking a Domestic Science course, and are becoming first class seamstresses and cooks. At the end of our High School course, we can safely prophesy, they will be hard to surpass in the knowledge of Domestic Science. We hope that this class may stick together for the next three years and be, at the end of that time, one of the best classes that has gone through Bacone. ' HISTORIAN.

The pride of our girls is our Sacajawea Literary So- ciety, which bears the name of the Indian maiden, Saca- jawea, who led Lewis and Clark on the famous trail from the Upper Missouri River, through the regions of the Da- kotas, Montana, Oregon, to the Pacific Coast. Sacajawea was the wife of Charboneau, the cook of the expedition. When Charboneau was engaged as cook, his Wife insisted upon going with him. At first the leaders and all the men of the company declared that this was impos- sible, since she had a little son only six weeks old. But Sacajawea insisted upon going, and this proved to be a great help to the explorers because she knew a great many of the places in the unexplored country, and in the places that she did not know, she seemed to be guided by her in- stinct. Sacajawea was a daughter and sister of the Shoshone Chiefs. She used her influence in many ways, in behalf of the explorers, with the Indian tribes, which they met. At times when there was trouble between the little company and the Indians, Sacajawea interceded and made them treat each other as friends. We girls are trying to follow her example. It is not likely that we will be called upon to lead a Lewis and Clark expedition, but we may lead others in an educational way. The society meets once a Week. Its aim is to teach the girls how to organize, how to carry on a literary society, and how to make the members feel at home on the plat- form. The committees have shown great intelligence in ar- ranging exceedingly interesting programs, which consisted of extemporaneous debates, plays, dialogues, readings, cur-
