M W' K PK ' Q :: gr For years our character has been moulded and formed under watchful supervision. Now, while it is still plastic, while every touch leaves its iin- pression, good or bad, we are going forth into the world. Let us round it out with strength and firin- ncss, with high ideals and noble principles, so that the World may say, this is in truth a man. Let us guard our character jealously 1'6l'llGl11lJC1'lllg that we alone a1'e responsible for it. No one can sully it but ourselves. Slander may be heaped upon it, but in the end it Will. eome out triumphant, putting those to shame who seek, through petty artilices to taint it. It is ours-the very ego, and no one can take it from us. Witlioiit character our whole life would rest on a foundation of sand, and at the 'lirst storm would totter and fall, to be blown about by the unpitying blasts,-a battered and worthless direlect. Let us be conhdent, but not over-conli- dent, bold, but not over-bold. Let us look for the good in life,-for the beautiful. Let us cultivate appreciation. Let us learn to live. The man who waits for opportunity to knock is generally so busy knocking otl1e1's that he fails to hear the rap himself. Opportunity isn't luck-- there is no such thing as luck. Today there are a thousand opportunities where yesterday there was but one. It is only necessary to realize this and to profit by the realization to be successful. Henry Van 'Dyke has given us the very essence of success and it is well worth quoting: 'f7lhe shallow hgu my hngcr cast Divifles the future from the post: Before fit, sleeps the unborn hour In flurhuess, and beyond thy power: Hehjhrl its fIli7H'IfhIlI'7lt7Z-lj Zine, The Quuzislierl hour, no longer thine: One hour alone is in thy 7mnd.s,- The NOW on 'whfich the .slmclow slumls. , ' Opportunity is a thing of the present and stands waiting for those who truly seek it. Whatever your work may be,-whether you think you are be- neath your work, or that your work is beneath you, -do your best. The employee who makes it a business to mind his business and do his best soon finds that he has the opportunity to see that others mind their business. Above all things, dowft My to fall into at soft smtp. Too many have tried, and are trying right along. The man who tries to fall into a soft snap generally falls far and lands hard. Be ambitious. Have a purpose in life, for, The whole world turns aside for the man who knows whither he is going. Battle Creek High School owes more than can be expressed in mere words to Mr. Hinman for the impetus he has given to oratory. Five years ago oratory was unthought of-almost unheard of in the school. Now, the annual oratorical contest is looked forward to throughout the entire year. We feel sure that in the future there will be some of the country's gifted speakers who can look back to their high school days, and say that for the first awakening of their interest,-for their start ln speaking,--they are indebted to the oratorical con- test, and to Mr. Hinman. We extend a most hearty greeting to the Class of 1916. Next fall you will begin four of the most enjoyable years of your life. Make these years mean something to you. Do something in High School. Don't wait until you are a Junior or a Senior,-then it will be late,-we might almost say, too late. Do what you can when you are a Fresh- man. Make Battle Creek High mean something to you, then you will mean something to Battle Creek High. t C1229--ZE'ZM Senior Class Roll MOTTO: Character is Power COLORS: Black and Cnolcl.

Board of Control Debating Club Paean Board Senior Play All School Play Presidents Address By GEORGE NYE CANNON Commencement, that goal which all students are eagerly striving to attain, is here at last and the Class of 1912 begin to realize that their school days are over. Soon we shall scatter. Some will go to college, some will go west, many will marry, but we shall all have to battle with the stern realities of life. In the last twelve years during which we have attended school, and especially during tl1e last four years, we might be compared to ardent con- testants in a race, a race of persistent effort and perseverance. Some have reached the goal of hon- or with almost perfect scores while others have managed just to make the requisite number of points. In school as in all contests, the Seniors are the ones who have reached the goal. Now let us make up our minds to assist others. Perhaps a word of encouragement may not be amiss to those who are behind us on the road. May each of our class be a helpful little cog in this great machine of the progress of civilization. This class has four score and six graduates about to put forth their efforts in a life of service in this vast universe. Why not endeavor to place our names among those of the highest and noblest, on the pinnacle of honor where justice reigns su- preme, which towers far above the hills ofiselfish- ness and superstition. Each member's heart is filled with gratitude to our friends, to our parents, to our teachers, who have ever pointed to highest ideals. Now we depart. Perhaps many of us will embark upon the sea of life to be separated as the winds and waves bear us here and there, each taking up that special work which Providence has prepared him for, ever seeking to make it some- thing worthy and ennobling. No matter where we go nor what we do, those whom we encounter quite likely will not always be so careful of our finer feelings nor so willing to guard over us as our teachers have been, but we shall be compelled to give and take, to rise or fall, by our own exertions. But by keeping in touch with whatever is good and by giving one another the glad hand we shall be able to bestow that which we have so diligently gathered during our years of earnest effort. As individuals we have all made mistakes, but experience is a good teacher. Never- theless the thought comes to us all, If I could only have a chance to try it over again. We have suc- ceeded in graduating, but are we all really satisfied with our achievement? No. Not by any means. There are some subjects and some parts of the high school course that each of us has missed or perhaps might have done better in. We are at the beginning of a greater con- flict than that from which we have just emerged. The struggles of the past are but an entering wedge to this greater conflict which is now before us. Let us emblazon on our memories our motto, Charac- ter is power, ever seeking for and obtaining that power to use it as the exigeucy of time requires. Class History from a Girl's Diary By BAKIIRIE Yvzi LWVORTII Sept. 3, 1908. Of all tl1e eventful days in my school career, I do believe, dear diary, this has been the day. Just to think that we are at last launched on this high school life that we are told is to be so broadening to us, both socially and intellectually. Most of us, although we felt our insignificance, were, no doubt, not so awe-struck as we supposed we would be at the broad halls and pleasant UU class rooms of the old building. Let me whisper in your ear, my truest confidant, that I call that old building posi- tively dingy. Just once I stalked very proudly into a class of mighty Seniors, Ca vast assembly, it seem- ed to mel and all unawares that I was intruding upon that compa.ny's profound meditation, a most unpleasant giggle arose and I suddenly became conscious that something was wrong, so many eyes were upon me, and my heart beat just frantically. How I ever got out of that class room will always be a mystery to me. Oct. 15, 1908. Only my firm resolution that I would not neglect my dear diary for anything whatsoever keeps me from going to bed immediately. Seeking my couch would sound better, but they say Freshmen must not use flowery language. And what is the cause of my unusual weariness, you inquire? A whole day at school and the organization of our class H with Harold Barnes as president. We are planning things already, for the Class of 1912 is going to do something worth while. Nov. 6, 1908. Oh dear me! Something really exciting has hap- pened. Those awful, awful Sophs kidnapped our president so that he could not preside at class meet- ing this afternoon. The whole affair was a very disgraceful proceeding, paper filled the air and later covered the floor. One of our worthy instruc- tors said that 29 was a sight for the gods. Nothwithstanding the total lack of order, our gentle voiced vice-president, with a great deal of effort made herself heard, and the class voted to give a dance. I am going to whisper something in your ear, and don 't betray my confidence: the high ideals of high school discipline, which I have so long cherished, suffered a great deal this afternoon, so much in fact, that I doubt if the same awe of high school government will ever be restored. Mar. 30, 1911. The Class of 1912 held another one of those exceptionally orderly C ill business meetings today. Oh that the floor would open up for a few of those pedantie, parliamentary-law sharks and our patient president, whose soul is so sorely tried, be given a little peace. Hurrah for the Chicken Pie Supper Committee! The supper was a grand success financially, and from the report read today it netted the class a larger sum than any class has gained for several years. Just to hear that, was ample reward for the tired hands and aching feet. As in every organization a few unselfish willing toilers shoulder the burdens, while the rest, fthe idle, un- concerned majorityj take delight in knocking. I wonder if they will escape condemnation at St. Peter's Gate with such ease. Feb. 15, 1912. First it was the Freshman Dance, then the Sopho- more Whirl, the Junior Hop, and last, but not least by far, the Senior Ball. What a success it was! The Elks' ball room afforded a truly splendid set- ting for the pretty gowns of the girls and the happy animated faces of all. It struck me more forcibly than ever before what an important part the social side of our school life plays in our education. When they are events of the past and we have turned our attention to the weightier problems of life, surely nothing will furnish more pleasing thoughts for re- flection. Apr. 30, 1912. How proud of our class we should be! Five of the eight twenty dollar prizes which Mr. Hinman has so generously offered to further the interest in oratory in B. C. H. S. have been won by 1912's. It seems as though, from its Freshman, through to its Senior year, the class has been endowed with a remarkable number of orators, which has never been exceeded by any class of B. C. High, and which I am confident will never be surpassed. Surely the Laurels are ours. June 20, 1912. I'm afraid dear diary it is a heart sick girl who comes to you tonight. Never has my own insigni- ficance and the smallness of my own part in the world impressed me so strongly as tonight. Never have I realized so deeply my unfitness to cope with life's problems. We who are just now leaving behind us four memora.ble years filled with work, not easy work either, intermingled with pleasure, can, for the first time understand fully that our edue cation is only begun. Now we stand at the portal of a new day, what matters the past, it is mere oblivion, it is the future that counts, and if we keep ever before us our motto, Character is power, we shall attain to heights unknown. 4.9 4 - ... -:fn-A 1 if . -. . .E sg. g,v f .-:,-E f s ' Z'-43,4276 ,f . 2 .wil , 2'-' -if ' I' Eli , ,, u 1' , L t E ,AE Class Prophecy It had been a stirring day. In the first place history note-books were due, and mine, as usual, wasn't ready. In a spirit of desperation I had handed in empty note-book covers, and, sneaking in sixth hour with the rest of my contribution, I had collided witl1 Kirk Naturally I beat it to the office to talk the matter over with Tommy VVell, he finally promised not to give me a pink for the note-book deal, if I would make a big A recitation in I had just waded through a lengthy account of Washington's famous bombardment of Fort Sump- ter and, gazing fixedly at the wall, was contemplat- ing the greatness of the attempt, when out of a large map of Arizona stalked Clarence Pratt, a 'billiard cue in one hand and an electric battery in the other. Down came the billiard cue with a thud on my cranium and I knew no more until I awoke to find myself being escorted along a subway by two history the next day and Q3 K bewitchine' police ladies find answers for all the i ii whom I zgterwards learned loose questions.

On arriving home, I had retreated to my room in company with McLaughlin's I-Iistory of the American Nation, a nickles worth of peanuts with shucks on,-the kind you get for ten cents a pound at the Cattle Ranch,-three remarkably sympathetic looking dill pickles, and a tearful piece of pie plant pie. I launched an immediate and vigorous attack upon all four at once. Turning around, I bumped into a spice garden in Siam where I found Leon Myers constructing a wireless telegraph station. I-Ie conducted me to the top of a tower where I came upon Mina Ketcham busily engaged with the finishing touches of Dorothy Decker's wedding gown. To my inquiry as to where the event was to occur, she replied, At Lone Rooster, Arkansas. But before I could learn any more of the particulars, I plunged head first into Mayo Ziegler's Shaving Emporium, where x that gentleman, ably assisted by'Harold Todd, de- spite my vigorous Vprotestations, began to clip my nails with crocodile teeth and to rub a solution of HZS, tomato catsup, and rose-water into my scalp. But Corporal Snell valiantly came to my rescue with a flute. Thinking to make good my escape, I hit the pike, only to fall into the arms of Allan Ackley who insisted upon pulling out my wisdom teeth with a tack hammer. However, Margaret Branson now appeared upon the scene, batted him over the head with a Virgil text, and invited me to visit her Freshman Latin class. Very regretfully I declin- ed, that I might keep a date with George Cannon at the Peanut Roasters' Convention, where he was chairman of the Committee on Gasoline. Here Harold Barnes, becomingly clad in red flannel pa- jamas, delivered a remarkable oration entitled, Hints to Housewives, or How to Prepare a Heart Without Browning It Too Much. Needless to I was delighted with the talent and deep thought displayed by my 1 old school-mate. .BHEEER1 Ee?-?a - Alice Butterfield 'f and Lila Rey- Zf, , I ' nolds were very : W.-P7 ' .A an 'lg - QQVQWHFGM anxious to attend M G'f?,,f , ty 'jfdipfb' this lecture, but, ' .f ' i g Jffj' A although Alice f li In had the ' Price, did' N 'Z Lila was Owen i-' '79 'Rl ,,,. grill -4,217 too much, so they 5, Y iftafizr'tfiiiiff::.zuee:iQ1Q-.es'gil 'fff b d S d- -- were me ' u ' f Fifi it denly there was a sharp report, for Chuck Silcox, following the wild persuits of his youth, had ignit- ed a barrel of dynamite under the building, which ended the meeting. Bob Abbott immediately under- took the funeral arrangements. At this point tWVelly Barker asked my assist- ance in answering 811 advertisement for a corres- pondent, signed by a certain Miss Ruth NValkenhut, retired kindergarten teacher. He also wanted me to help him select a new tie at Clara Bayley's Haber- dashery. I referred him to Tessa Bordo's Matri- monial Bureau and turned away, only to be run down by a speeding auto, which carried a pair of elopers, strongly resembling Clifford Brainard and Elsie Crapo. On regaining consciousness, I arose and Wended my way to the Blissful Boarding House, run by Hire, Swift and Swett. Here I met Nena MacIntyre who was acting as traveling saleslady for the War- riner-Kirkpatrick Gum Corporation. Nena said that she had just sold a large consignment to Dowl- ing and Hagelshaw, Home Bakers. For dinner at the boarding house We enjoyed some of those de- liciousidouble concave lenses smothered in onio11s, ,a dish for which their cook, Adele Westbrook, was famous. In the evening I witnessed an elegant presentation of Ethel Letellier's masterpiece, Sammy and the Physics Problem, with Carl Reid as leading man, ably assisted by Viola New- comer as Rubifoam, Helen De Barr as Pearl- ine, Leo Tattersall and Virgil Jones as The Gold Dust Twins, and a magnificent chorus under the skillful direction of Hazel Taylor. But Norine Weickgenant, the new suffragette mayoress, broke up the show by declaring it illegal to chew Spear- mint in the Peanut Gallery. - Whereupon I yawned and, turning around, en- tered the Pantheon, at Rome. Here I found Kid Squier and OX Tarpy engaged in a terrific struggle for the light-heavy weight championship of the world. Some- ' one near me yelled, Rah for Ted! and looking in that direction, I be- held Ross Coller. After our tears of joy had flown freely for some time, Coller informed me that he was the editor of the Spade, a publication of world-wide fame. As I left the Pantheon I encoun- tered a meek, plainly dressed lady, who informed me that she was Nellie Griffiths, and invited me to accom- pany her to the Annual International Cooperative Missionary Workers Society Banquet. Of coursc I couldn't refuse and among the toasts I heard Dr. Ralph Canright deliver a profound address on the subject, Do the Ijleathen Women Use I-Iymf1'Book Leaves to Crimp Their Hair? The question was later affirmed in heated debate by the Rev. Charles Knappen and denied by Dr. Lola Garriott, A. B., M. A., L. L. D., D. D., who became so vigorous in her argument that the banquet was forced to ad- journ. Something struck me on the head and I knew no more. When I finally did come to myself, I was standing in the middle of a beautiful garden in WX li n M' paw r Q A ,:, my xl l -A W-I ' A MN , A ,g - . ,Im Vf K A ,....., Q.-1' fa, wt ww is 0 yy' southern Italy. It was night-a clear, lovely night -and the moon shone with a beauty and radiance which dazzled me andiilled my innermost being with delight. Moreover from a nearby balcony could be heard delicious, enchanting strains of mu- sic, a sweet, low voice, accompanied by a mouth .. organ. By standing on tiptoe, I recognized Ruth Kelsey and saw that she was teaching music to a stalwart, blond-crested fellow who reminded me strangely of Heine Benson. Come on along! Come on along! Listen to that rag-time band! she sang so sorrowfully that I would have wept in sympathy had I not just then heard a great commotion out- side and the sound of rushing feet. I hastened forth and, to my utter amazement, found myself in the mid- dlc of a London street. A tire engine shrieked by, women and children screamed and men swore, while a passerby informed me that a general fire alarm had been turned in. Following the crowd, I came at last to a great square in the center of which was erected a lofty platform, completely surrounded by a vast multitude. Upon this plat- form under a great triumphal arch, which bore the inspiring motto, Votes for Women, stood a bot- tle of pop, and beside it, calmly bowing to a great host of cabbages, potatoes, and venerable eggs, that were hastening in that direction, I beheld, to my horror and sorrow, my old friend, Lorena Hickok. Deeply touched and grieved at the sight, I leap- ed into a swiftly passing aeroplane, driven by the famous aviator, Ruth Reynolds. Of course we were delighted to see each other and had a delightful chat while crossing the Atlantic. But after that, Ruth lost control of her machine, and we fell, land- ing with a crash on the top of a great sign which read, Leta Browning, Painter and Decorator. Barnes decorated at reasonable prices. VVQ weren't hurt very much, although Ruth assured me that at least three ribs and an arm were broken be- yond all repair, so we decided to call on Leta and see how she was getting on with her Barnes. lVherc- upon, with Ruth riding, as she expressed it, very comfortably on my back, we started toward the nearest town, which to my joy proved to be Battle Creek, Michigan. We approached the city from the east, and in the Kingman addition we saw what seemed to be a great circus, with thousands of visitors coming and going. After consulting our pocket books, we de- cided to enter, purchased our tickets at the big gate and made for the menagerie. Just outside the main tent, however, our attention was arrested by a somewhat lean, bespectacled man, who was shout- ing through a megaphone, This way ladies and gentlemen,-this way!!! See the greatest living snake charmer! See Estelle, the' last and only original, oriental princess. A supernatural, in- comprehensible marvel! This way-only ten cents! Only ten cents! Unable to resist the temptation, we threw discretion to the winds and entered, to find--Estella Brown, a huge boa constrictor coiled around each ankle, fearlessly toying with a long, pale green reptile that was even then winding it- self around her neck. Witli a wild cry I fainted, and upon waking, found myself upon the floor of my room, madly clutching at my lead pencil which had slipped down inside my collar from its wonted position behind my left ear. Slowly and painfully I arose, gathered together my scattered wits and peanuts, took a drink of water, and regretfully returned to Washington's bombardment of Fort Sumter. 1 ff 3 ,I 4,x kv lu 4 ESTEL 5,5 9.1.

And so things went, yet out of all that confu- sion, which occurred regularly every day from four history was produced by Mr. Cole. Time went like lightning and before you could hardly breathe, May twenty-third was here. Oh! that eventful day. Mr. Cole rushed hither and thither with- all. sorts of ' 4 s w e ll ' ' gowns on his armg Mr. At- kinson direct- ed the eart- ing men with their various burdens 5 members of the east were everywhere at once, the tough chorus brushed past rows of awe-struck freshmen and sneaked gal- lons of paint, pounds of powder and boxes of curls to the dressing rooms. Truly the clocks of B. C. just raced, and tl1e last touch of paint was on, tl1e last curl glued in place, just as the orchestra gave tl1e final flourish to the overture. Tense silence reigned as the curtain rose and the Misses WGtl1GPQll,, stepped in to tl1e new missus boudoir to await her arrival. The play laid bare to the Seniors the strenuous difficulties they may encounter once they are beyond the pro- tecting and comforting my walls of high school and have entered into the whirling maelstrom of mar- ital existence. But in spite of the inexperienoe Cas far as we knowj of the galaxy of stars who in- terpreted Mr. Jerome's conception of nuptial bliss, the afore mentioned stars carried themselves like veterans of the married state, and gave evidence by their performance that they were at least close observers. ' Fanny and the Servant Problem is certainly the funniest little play ever written by Jerome K. Jerome. It consists of four acts with twenty-one people in the cast, and the talent of the actors is indescribable. Truly Nellie Griffiths and Dot Decker made sublime old maids. The part of their nephew, Vernon, the Lord Bantock, was taken by Allan Ackley, and every girlls heart beat just a lit- tle quicker when he stepped out upon the stage, for l1e certainly acted a true, dear husband. And Fanny! Say! Speaking of Billie Burke-why-- Vi Newcomer leaves Billie in the shade. What would Billie do if she had married a lord in disguise and landed in a house where each of the twenty-three servants was a relative? Carl Reid as the old butler was certainly scream and his family-oh my! why, as fine a . . . .... family of servants as the Bennets, couldn't be found in all England. Lcta Browning, as the independ- ent old housekeeper, tolerated her mistress merely for Lo1'd Bantock's sake, for truly, he could not exist without the Benuets. Ruth Reynolds, as Jane , was the snippiest of lady's maids, and George Cannon as Ernest, the second footinan, caused much merriment, as Ernest was one of those unfortunate fellows who is never understood. Then who could have taken the part of fllonoria ex- cept Lola Garriott? Everybody laughed at Harold Barnes as Doctor Fremantle, and he was surely at Hgood scout when it came to chorus girls. George P. Newte, Mayo Zeigler in disguise, was a typical husiness manager, a11d the chorus-well, it was sim- ply great! NVho'd ever think that dignified Seniors could look so? Of course the play was given twice and the puh- lie wanted more, hut-well enough's enough. The cast as a whole extends its hcartiest thanks to Mildred Schroder and Niles Bryant, who eontrihut- ed so much to the musical success, to Fred Sulli- van, who made such a capahle stage manager, to the merchants of Battle Creek, who were so liberal in their loan of furniture and stage settings, and last, hut not least, to Carlos Cole, to whom the en- tire success of the play is due. 01,1 -. fW1'?fvm if 9 f -ftwnf 1 'ix -M45 ' ii., lf ' x', 'w,?f ' wif- 'xx Aj: .1 -gif'-7 .tx Wm I Q ' 1 if z rrp , I Ani .

EXTRACTS FROM A DIARY June 1, 1911 :--I have just completed a master scene for my novel. I lost myself completely, think- ing it out and writing it. First I sat in my chair, my pen in hand--and thought,-as I meditated, the scene grew-and I became excited, and paced up and down my room, madly thinking'-I mounted my table,-standing at my full height I continued to tliink. I jumped from the wooden plateau-l rushed to my bureau and for a minute gazed admir- ingly at myself in the glass-kicked over a chair -dashed back to my desk-and started to write again with growing. June 15, 1911 :--The first draft for two or three chapters is feverish haste. And so my story is finished-I believe I will try Harpers. 1911 :-I have decided that a few poems unusual, will improve my novel-I in- tend to have a preface also. June 18, 1911:-When I commenced writing I had a rough outline for my novel-but I doubt if it will answer. I must think out a plot for my novel. I have a great many scenes written already. Last Copyright June 16, -although 1912 il 50 y John B. lluldwin night as I lay in bed I had several ideas for my work,-of course I arose and jotted them down. I call my novel- Day and Night. -It will be differ- ent! It opens with a poem :- DAY. The day is a time for common folk That walk in lime-like light, Whose souls are shrlvcllcal by ct sun, That hides the wrong aml right. A wiokccl, wrctchcrl, willful sun That kills the blessed night. June 19, 1911:-The scene of my novel is laid in the town of Mutton- dale. Chapter One is perfect! The Practical World is the title. In it I iiitrocluce the villain 5-not an im- possibile villain either, but a young man-a plebian, of lowest instincts. I call him Frank Littleton - a n y name would do. On entering his fa- ther's home he sees his mother 1' In . l 1 .3 'rl stoop to remove her husband's shoes. Littleton sniffs and sneers around and turns to his mother and says, Cabbage and onions! After the supper, Mr. Littleton asks his son why he doesn't marry the rich Randolph girl. Frank replies that his friend Ben White is the favored suitor. Queer him! says the father, This is a prac- tical world-get him in wrong. June 21, 1911 :-I must introduced Madge Bos- well, the other girl,+the girl whom Littleton really loves-but whom he gives up for Alice Randolph's money. It is also time to pull in the hero. I-Ie is a typical Muttondale swell,-athletic but simple- minded,-I call him Ben White. He loves Alice Randolph-but Littleton persuades him that Alice is unfaithful-and he seeks consolation in Madge Boswell, who of course does all in her power to make Ben forget his former sweetheart. June 27, 1911:-I have decided to make the un- expected happen,-make White marry Madge Bos- well and go to Colorado,-but I'll free him all right. White enters into politics out in that state 5- and his wife insists on taking the stump for him. This is a calamity,-for Madge Boswell, speaking for her husband, is jeered by her female audiences, -she doesn't say the right things g-the tilt of her hat isn't right,-her clothes aren't right 5-and her husband is defeated by the women's vote. The next morning Ben finds his wife in the cel- lar-she has committed suicide 5- I won't dis- grace you again, says a note-pinned on her breast. CThis is the only touch of pathos in my storyj. .June 28, 1911 :-I will draw on the truth for Chapter seven. I read in the paper the other day that somewhere a band of muskrats had attacked some people who were canoeing on a river. What a scene for my novell Frank Littleton, the villain, takes, Alice Ran- dolph, the heroine, for a canoe trip down the river. On the way home-a little animal, a muskrat, swims out to the canoe-and starts to climb up the side. Littleton raises his paddle-but Alice pre- tends to cover her eyes and says,-- Don't hurt him -the nice little field mouse! Field mouse I Frank exclaims as the scaly tail- ed creature climbs into the canoe,-but, at this mo- ment, something rocks the boat. Alice reaches down to stroke her field mouse -but he bites her hand. Throw him out! she gasps-but another dark body climbs over the side of the canoeg-and in a second, half a dozen wriggling beady eyed animals are in the boat. Frank, frightened, takes several awkward strokes with his paddle-but the rats turn on him! They bite l1is knees-he paddles with one hand and fights with the other-a rat crawls up his neck--and bites his face! Another reaches his shoulders-his chin is bleeding-he drops his pad- dle-it splashes-he sees more muskrats swimming for the boat! The girl shrieks, a muskrat is at her throat,- fany girl would shrieklj-her paddle is lost-she clutches the rat with both hands,-the canoe upsets, and the two young people are swimming for their lives-pursued by the muskrats. Then all is dark. When Alice awakens she is under a tree-her head in Frank's lap-the sunset makes her palc face radiant. You have saved my life, she mur- murs. And what is my reward? asks Frank-as he takes her in his arms. I hope I can make it clear-when I write this chapter in detail-that Alice, like many a romantic girl-mistakes gratitude for love. September 1, 1911 :-I have not written directly on my novel for several weeks-but I have about eighty pages of notes 5-similes-descriptions-com versations-new characters-and complications of plot. I have decided that where Littleton takes Alice in l1is arms is a good place to end Book One. I will call Book Two, 'tNight -and preface it with a poem :- O to vanquish the ghouls-that infest the fair dark- Crowd them back in their prisons-their dungeons of dawn. In a heap!

But the Soldier is delighted with the turn of affairs and he helps Ben Wliite clope in the night with Alice. The conclusion to my novel deals with Frank Littleton 5-I would like to-and I could choke him to death with a fish bone-and have the Scientist blow vigorously in his ear in an effort to save his life,-but I won't. Littleton merely stands on the hotel porch, after Ben and Alice have fled,-looking sullenly at the Poet who is singing:- TIIE TRIUMPH OF NIGHT OVER DAY.

UR boat glided silently into the stream, where the banks were bordered with I H stately old elms and maplesg where the .gm-poqq. birds sang and where brilliant hued flowers made tl1e woods aglow with color. Rippling over a pebble strewn shoal, then flowing quietly through deep narrow channels, tl1e sparkling river wound and twisted through tl1e woods, ever unfold- ing new and unexpected beauty. Graceful willows drooped luxuriantly over the brink, and festoons of grape and Woodbine hung from the tree tops, swaying gently with tl1e ,summer breeze, while tl1e treacherous ivy clung tenaciously to the shaggy baI'k with its myriad fingers, bidding defiance to all. Along tl1e banks little sparrows da.rted from bush to bush, chirping and twittering, and tl1e saucy lit- tle sandpipers followed us along the sand bars, half Hitting and half running in their own peculiar jerky fashion, as if anxious to discover the cause of tl1e unusual disturbance. Soft green banks of water-cress edged tl1e stream and pure white water lillies with their hearts of gold floated on its tranquil bosom. A patriarch bullfrog jumped with a splash and a croak from his lily pad, and as of one accord the hundred little peepers ceased their song. A gentle breeze rippled tl1e surface into waves and the sun- light was reflected from their undulating crests making shapeless indescribable light dance and play in and out .among the tree trunks and across the moss grown banks. The c1'eek was much wilder now, scarcely as wide as a country lane, and thick with fallen logs and drifted brush. Before us was a marshy swail overgrown with willows and elder busl1es,- l the ideal home of water loving wild creatures. lfVe pushed to shore, and leaving our boat, we slowly plodded through a matted I tangle of blackberry bushes and lg twining vines that contested is fiercely every step of our way, At our feet wild flowers grew in it riotous profusion.

VVe l ll' had not stumbled through the W l swamp for long, ere we saw a gf? S timid bird running before us. is LZ 6 .- 'H lts back was olive brown and its ash gray breast was barred and spotted with the same color. Just where we had frightened our little stranger we could not tell, so silently had it left its hiding place. We paused, and with timid steps the bird came toward us. 'We could read the story in its great pleading eyes of the nest concealed somewhere close at hand, and its, skillful efforts to lead us away from the precious spot were of no avail. We searched long and carefully, and were almost ready to give up when we found the nest hid- den in a grass-tuft of the swamp. VVithin the loosely lined nest were two drab eggs speckled with brown, and two young birds, black as coal and as soft and downy as young chicks. iWe bent over the nest and to our surprise the larger bird deserted his weaker broth- er, clambered awkwardly over the nest's rim, and, aided nearly as much by his featherless wings as by his un- gainly feet, he scrambled across the marshy weeds, never stopping until he thought him- self safely concealed from our sight. We quickly caught him, and the terrified little fellow writhed and twisted in our hands in a futile effort to escape again. His eyes were large, and black, and sparkling, and at the base of his yellow bill there was a turkey-red some- thing-what, we did not know,-that contrasted vividly with his black body, while at his throat there was a comical little tuft looking for all the world like a tiny beard. We carefully. replaced him in the nest and this time he stayed there. The yet unopened eyes of the other bird and the scanty cov- ering of down, as well as the empty egg shell still remaining in the 11est showed him to be the younger of the two. We photographed the nest and al- though the faithful mother was doubtless quak- ing with fear of the three creatures who had discovered her home, and of the queer looking apparatus which they set up befo1'e it, she bravely remained, watch- ing our every move. Leaving the nest as we had found it, we went on through the marsh, sinking now and then deep down in the muck. Such slight discomforts troubled us little now, however, for we had found the nest of a bird which we had never before seen, and we would have been perfect- ly happy even had we not discovered another thing worthy of note that day. But we had walked less than five minutes before we saw the nest of a bit- tern built near the top of an old dead bush some distance out in the black mucky bayou to which the marsh led. There was no attempt at concealment and even from where we stood on the banks of the pond We could see the three light blue eggs which it cradled. The nest was a crude affair, loosely built of twigs placed almost haphazard in a fork of the bush. We busied ourselves at once with the task of securing a picture of itg a task made rather difficult because of the water of the pond. Never once during the time we worked around the nest did we see either tl1e mother or the father 58 'iz bittern, and it seemed to us that they were much less jealous parents than those we had seen earlier in the afternoon. When again we reached our boat the sun had sunk behind the tree tops and the last rosy hues of sunset were fading from the sky. The birds had ceased their warbling, and the whisper and rustle of the leaves had died into a breathless silence. Now and then we heard the plaintive wail of a whip-poor-will, and from afar across the marsh sounded the boom of a bittern. A cricket com- menced its chirping and an answering chorus echoed the twilight song of the wilderness. l Through the branches of the trees we could see the rising moon, and here and 1 ' Q there the gleam of the first stars of the evening. Over all there prevaded a sooth- ' 2' ing sense of tranquility and calm. Nature ' was singing the lullaby of the forest. GIF Silently we turned our boat homeward it-M and drifted slowly downstream. The won- derful, magical spell of night threw mys- I tery over the stream and woods. To at- it' tempt to describe that moonlight trip , down the river is to attempt the- f . j' impossible. The moon marks a shining' path of light across the 'Q water? We cannozt tell where we a ' T f ' tflitfffg 4 - L X , :ax N ? 'X X f ?5y ll ' ' fffr will turn next. Before us is a great wall of trees, and in a moment we have plunged into a yawning abyss which opens as to engulf us. For a moment the moon is hidden by the dense foliage and we seem to be at the i bottom of a deep, narrow can- yon. Then we round a bend and . once more we can distinguish the vague shapeless masses of trees. Now the moon ap- pears at our right, a moment ' later it is at our left and I we are never certain just where '- we will next see it. The trees cast long shadows in the woods, and the moon falls on the dewy grass with a shimmering, phos- phorescent light. Now, a giant syeamore is before us, silhouet- ted against the sky. It towers majestically above the other trees, and involuntarily we watch it as we approach, inspired with awe at its mighty beauty. The W., - moonlight silvers its silky leaves and through the black masses of its branches a single star twinkles down upo11 us. The river looks dark, mysterious and forboding. Witll a thud our boat collides with a hidden log and the current sweeps it swiftly around. Soon we are free again, u and we drift on a.nd on through the great silent wilderness. The woods with their overpowering beauty and f','I 8l1llGllI' are behind . .,., . us now, and on both sides of the river are long stretches of ope11 fields. The . vague fear and awe of the forest give 5 place to a feel- - ing of peace and ' tranquility. From . afar comes the tinkle of a cowbell,-then ' close at hand, the bellow of a bnllfrog, -and then, silence. Q 'Dusty streets and clattering p a v e - . lll e n t s , the shrill soreech of whistles, the ringing of bells and the rush and roar of loco- motives, the discordant cries of the mandlin crowd, and again we were in the city, back in the domain of man. Footprints of a Triceratops By RALPH COLLIER It was nearing the hour of sunset upon a vast semi-arid plain broken only by occasional outcrops of red sandstone rocks which had absorbed the tor- rid rays of mid-day until they gleamed with a blood red color in contrast to the copper color of the sky. Away to the Westward stretched an almost limitless sea. A sea covering that enormous area which would, a million years hence, raise itself above the top of the ocean and become a great volcanic pla- teau, to be named by the restless Caucassian, ages after the last sulphurous flame died out, the Rocky Mountains. The fast disappearing sun still beat with merciless heat upon the rock floored plain which hurled back the fiery rays whence they came, but these returning were met by a sea of others coming. As a typhoon in some Southern sea hurls with Titanic force two opposing waves against each other, forming a Wild tumult of angry waters, so the sun and the rocks hurled the opposing rays together, and formed a seething belt of wavering heat. Heat visible to the eye, if there had been a human being there to witness the scene, but there was not, nor could man have lived in that enormous heat if he had been created. To the southward, where a gorge- like dip scarred the endless plain, occasional palm like trees resembling huge green tinged pillars crowned by a few fan-like leaves rose from the burn- ing earth. Toward the horizon these huge trees became more numerous, showing plainly where a small spring rose from the earth and made a futile endeavor to reach the sea before its waters should disappear into the thirsty rocks, and the still more thirsty air. Above these trees a huge animal resembling a bird only in its mode of travel, clumsily maintained itself in mid-air. It was clothed in scales, and its either wing was of skin stretched between its side and foreleg. After slowly alighting in the top of one of the trees it began to scoop the large seeds from their place of growth at the base of the leaves. It had been thus busied for perhaps ten minutes when it raised its head suddenly and uttered a falsetto scream which pierced the oily density of the air and died away like the wail of a tormented soul. Advanc- ing across the plain, was the cause of the bird's alarm, a huge serpentine colossus of animal life nearly sixty feet in length. A massive scaly armor covered its head and neck, the shiny scales gleaming opalescent in the last rays of the setting sun. The snake like ending of its tail jerked and quirked like that of a huge cat. This was a triceratops. Occa- sionally the triceratops raised itself from its weak- er front feet upon its stronger hind ones with the slow majestic movement of some huge modern me- chanical crane until it towered forty Iive feet above the vast expanse that stretched away at its feet. Slowly regaining all four feet it thrust its beak-like mouth to the ground to seize a cactus plant, and then proceeded on its way crunching with noisy content the large morsel within its mouth. Avoiding an animal scarcely less monstrous than itself, but more hideous in appearance, which was tearing the flesh of some dead animal from the bones, the tricer- atops reached the tree, paused to catch up some of the seeds, which the bird perched in the top had thrown in its anger, and finally proceeded towards the spring, through a forest of fern-like plants. The ferns were so high that they completely covered the body of the triceratops. At the spring it nosed a snail out of its way, whose shell, which was three feet in diameter lay half covered by the water, and then drank long and indolently. When its thirst was satisfied it crossed the rill, turned to the left and penetrated yet deeper into the leafy forest to seek what protection it might af- ford from the terrible heat. At last the triceratops reached the base of some overhanging rocks. Here it waded into a shallow pool, but its forefeet sank too deep. With a shrill whistle of dissatisfaction it again raised itself upon its hind feet with that peculiar mechanical motion, wheeled half way about, and contented itself by lying down in the cool shade of the ferns. It never rose again to travel over that fiery plain where it had wandered so long. Like the mesozoic age of which it was a part the tricer- atops died. Is that young fellow still working with your gang? asked Mr. Kemp of Mr. Rawnson. Yes, replied Rawnson, he is an earnest work- er and I have placed men under his charge. As soon as you can, send him to me. We'll test l1is boasted knowledge of the rocks and the solubility of the earth, Kemp requested. Kemp was the engineer in charge of an iron mine in Colorado which was being developed by a cut- lery manufacturing company of San Francisco. The owners hoped to obtain iron which would produce a grade of steel fine enough for their tools, and which would be cheaper than that which they had hither- tofore been forced to buy from an Eastern syndi- cate. The Eastern people opposed the attempt from the first. Each day that brought the mine nearer to a reality increased the bitterness between the rivals. Mr. Rawnson was boss of one of the shifts of men who were hurrying the mineshaft and the huge blast furnaces to completion before winter should hinder their work. The young fellow in question had turned up at the shack of the chief engineer three weeks previous and asked for work with the assayer. The engineer, busy with a maze of blue prints paid little attention to Lew McMill's statement that he had taken a course in Geology and Chemistry at his high school, from which he had only graduated in June. We Want ordinary workmen, the engineer had replied without looking up. The assayer left some time ago and will not return until the mine is finish- ed. What we need now is men willing to take a shovel or an axe and use them for twelve hours a day. If you are willing to do that kind of work ask for Mr. Rawnson, who is at the head of the con- struction work, and I think he can find something for you to do. With this McMill l1ad to be satisfied. He walk- ed out of tl1e office, strode across a level space, in a downcast manner, and then up a steep rise of rocks. Nearly two hundred feet above the plateau, he paused and sat down behind a rock which partly screened him from the rays of the sun. McMill was discouraged,-thoroughly discouraged. This he had to admit himself. From tl1e side of the mountain he gazed listlessly upon the busy scene below. Dark skinned Italian imigrants were going in and out of the shaft. Farther to the right others of the same race were wheeling bricks and mortar to the unfinished blast furnaces. McMill broke into uncontrolled despair. What has my education done for me? he asked himself, and the only answer hc could give was, nothing Immediately after graduation he had started for the west with high hopes. He had ex- pexted to earn enough so that he could get through his first year at college, and at the same time to gain some knowledge of mining. Three weeks had already slipped away since the night of graduation. He had applied for work with the assayer at nearly a dozen different mines, but at every mine the re- sult had been the same, men able and willing to handle a spade, an axe, or a saw were the men who were wanted. True, if he had been a mining engin- eer he might have secured the work he wished, but unless he could secure the means of going to college how was he going to be an engineer? He would have earned nearly as much in his own city as he could here. And he could have lived at home, en- joyed the conveniences of friends, not living with dagoes. I will go home, he declared, but his sudden determination startled him. If he went home he would never go to college. He knew that just as well as he knew he was discouraged. What would happen if he did go home? To begin with he would go home dispirited, discouraged. Whatever work he began would be done in the same spirit. He could never succeed as he had always hoped to succeed. He would settle into a groove and slide daily back and forth over its length for the rest of his life. It was so different, so painfully differ- ent, from what he had dreamed of doing, dreamed of becoming. He paused in his thoughts. He saw the distant peaks of the San Juan range to the Westward at which he had gazed for a full half hour without seeing. The sun light casting its rays on their snow crowned peaks made them dazzlingly bright. The sight cheered him in spite of himself, as he gazed into the folds and billows of those distant mountains. How vastly large the world some- times seems. McMill's gaze returned to the mine below. The men were as busy as before. Unannounced a strange new thought entered his mind. Those men are useful to the world, if they are dagoes, and then, Of what use am I? Again he had to answer nothing His thoughts wandered on: Behind me to the eastward is the San Louis Park with its herds of roving cattle watched by solitary cowboys. These men are doing a necessary work. Through the Park flows the Rio Grande, I crossed it but two days ago, it winds at last down through the rich plains of Texas to the Gulf. North of the river are the busy wharves of Galveston. Everywhere men are toiling day after day doing their work. Do what thy hands find to do, something with- in him suggested. How he hated that sentence! It had been preached to him ever since he could remember. He tried to strangle this thought which persisted within him, and failed. He took his hands from its throat. Immediately it suggested, One can be a man in the strife if he cannot be a hero. One half hour later Lew McMill, hammer in hand was finishing a bunk house for more Italians who were doubtless even now being hurried across the prairies. At his side the head carpenter, a large strong featured prospector, who had turned carpen- ter in order to earn enough money to finance a new prospecting expedition, glanced at the firm set jaw of the young man, noticed the determination with which he struck the nails he was driving and smiled. William Jeans, through force of habit, was a man of few words. When the new imigrants arrived, Lew was given a blue-print, fifteen of the Italians, and told to cut logs from the forest, set them up in the ground and pile earth against them. A dam was thus formed to protect the mine from the annual spring freshet, which must sweep the gorge when the snow melted in the mountains. There might be some good in an education after all. It was hard to make the Italians understand, but most of them were willing workers and it took few directions to make them understand the simple work required of them. McMill was laying out the last section of the darn one afternoon and wondering what his next work would be, when he looked up to see Rawnson ap- proaching with the message of the chief engineer. Lew immediately left his men and started for the office shack. Kemp was seated behind his desk with a pan containing a muddy solution on his knees, which he was stirring with a short stick. On the desk before him was a box containing a white substance streak- ed with yellow. The engineer bade McMill to be seated as he entered. Mr. McMill, he began, this, he pointed to the box, is a sample of the lime stone we had expected to use in our blast furnaces. It comes from an outcropping about fifteen miles down the range. If we use this limestone we must build a narrow gauge railroad over a difficult, and hence costly route. We have a.lready built 3 railroad to Del Norte, a distance of fifty miles, to secure a con- nection with a railroad to San Francisco. This road was expensive and our stockholders are get- ting alarmed at the enormous outlay of money with no assurance of any returns. Now if we could save the expense of this short but difficult road by find- ing another outcrop, the stockholders would be re- lieved, and the mine nearly a reality. Besides the difficulty of getting the limestone we had intended to use, I find from this sample that it contains so much clay and rock that we would have to pass wa- ter over it to remove the clay and also devise some way of getting the stone out of it. An upheaval of the earth disturbed it after it was deposited, and left 'cracks and fissures in it which have since filled with soil and rocks, but I suppose you know all about such a process, he added glancing at Lew. Yes sir, Lew answered, I do. The engineer continued, I find, therefore, that because of the great cost of preparing this lime- stone for use in the furnaces, it will be almost im- possible to use it. We must find limestone more accessible and of a better quality, or else, -but he did not finish the sentence. I have thought that there might be an outcrop of the rock in the bottom of the gorge below the mine. One can never tell where it may be found. I am much afraid that the fellow who examined this limestone, however, was working in the interests of the eastern syndi- cate. In fact I have written my suspicions to head- quarters. I cannot be sure though, for the assay- er examines limestone with a hammer and we han- dle it with a steam shovel. He may not have dug deep enough to find any clay. But if he is work- ing for the eastern concern their quietness for the past month is accounted for. Circumstances favor my suspicions. If we can find a better grade of limestone the other company is beaten and the mine will soon be running, but if we do not find it our fight will be long and hard. The assayer and l1is assistant may have explored the gorge when they were determining the feasibility of working the mine, but if they did it was not reported. I have no orders from headquarters to attempt any such thing as I propose and We haven't a man to spare. However, it is quite possible that there may be limestone in the bottom of the gorge and I am go- ing to satisfy myself. You are to go to Mr. Jeans, the head carpenter-you know him, I think. I have seen him and he expects you. You two are to spend three days exploring the bottom of the gorge for limestone. Jeans has been prospecting for years for silver and lead. He will examine the gorge much more carefully than any assayer. If occasion arises Mr. Jeans is to be the one in com- mand. Understandf Good night and good luck to you.' The next morning shortly after sunrise McMill was following the man who had smiled as he watch- ed him work that first afternoon at the mine. He was smiling now at Lew's enthusiasm. Lew had forgotten all about tl1e terrific heat of the sun, which beat down upon him each day as he worked on the dam, he had even eaten breakfast of salty bacon and canned goods without repugnance for the first time since he had been at the mine. ' For a second time he had occasion to believe education did count for something useful. He was even beginning to like the mine and his work. The evening before, after he left the engin- er's office the realization had come, that up in that office shack a fight was going on, that the man who sat there with his maps and blue-prints about him, who at unexpected intervals would emerge from his sanctum, pass the men at their work, seeing much but saying little, was a general, an industrial gen- eral, and that the workmen were industrial soldiers. The spirit of war, of industrial war was upon Mc- Mill for the first time, and he was glad to be in the Y 7 strife. McMill walked on. Green, the young engin- eer who daily directed the huge drill in its course in- to the side of the mountain, waved at him and wish- ed him good luck as he passed into the shaft to be- gin his daily work. ' ' McMill and his companion passed down the steep end of the gorge, sometimes so close to the mountain stream, whose tumultous waters glowed with a thousand broken rainbows before they tum- bled recklessly in a series of cataracts to the bottom far below, that they Were wet by its spray. Above them a squirrel scolded a blackbird, who persisted in sitting on a certain branch contrary to the squir- rel's wish. All day the two examined the bottom of the nar- row gorge. Jeans followed one bank of the stream, carefully examining the bottom for traces of the white lime stone, McMill followed the base of one of the nearly perpendicular sides watching as close- ly as did the prospector. Once, in the afternoon, Jeans found a narrow strip of tl1e white stone ex- tending across the bottom of the river. He called to Lew to ask him if there was any of it at the base of the side, but McMill was obliged to answer that there was none. There is one hole in the rock large enough to crawl through and several smaller ones, he added, but his companion had again be- gun his searching walk. The next day the two examined the other half of the gorge. When Jeans again came to the strata of limestone, he crossed, and carefully searched the side, examining every bit of earth as it was loosened by the blow of his hammer. Satisfied that there was nought at that place for which he was searching, they Iinished ex- amining the second half of the gorge. Then Jeans again crossed the river, followed by his companion, and went directly to the hole in the base of the rock, which McMill had reported the day before. There may be some of the stone in there, McMill ventur- ed. There may beg we will see i11 the morning. As Jeans replied he began to prepare their camp. In the morning they fastened a rope from the outside of the hole, lighted their miner's lamps, and crawled into the opening. Jeans went first. Once inside they advanced with difficulty, for the pass- age, while it grew larger, was partially filled with loose rocks over which they must crawl. After having climbed through perhaps ten feet of this difficult course, which ended abruptly, they found themselves in a long narrow tunnel running parallel to the side of the gorge. The sides and roof of the tunnel were red sandstone, but the bottom was the white stone for which they had been searching. Mc- Mill rung his own hand, Jeans smiled. Still kneeling, the two examined the fioor. Suddenly the prospector stopped with an exclamation of wonder and curiosity. McMill, who was somewhat behind him crawled ahead. There, in the Hoor of the cav- ern were two deep imprints of the fore feet of the triceratops, just as he had placed them there mil- lions of years ago. Jeans raised his hammer to chip the upper ledge of one of the foot prints, but McMill stopped him. Two years before he had SIJ61lil four mortal hours preparing a geology re- port on some prehistoric animal, the name of which he could not now remember, but he did know that these irregular holes were doubtless the foot-prints of some such animal and that they might be of sci- entific value. 1 Two weeks later a geologist from Washington arrived at the mining camp. McMill went with him to the cavern which was in reality no longer a cavern, for the rock had been blasted away expos- ing the whole tunnel. The geologist chiseled the footprints out of the limestone in one large block and carried them away with him. For the third time Lew McMill had been shown that education is valuable, sometimes even above experience. Today in the Smithsonian museum at Wasliing- ton, in the department of prehistoric fauna of the mcsozoic age, is a block of limestone containing the 123 imprints of the two fore feet of a triceratops. On a card above it is written: i FOUND BY LEWIS MOMILL, NEAR PAOosA SPRINGS, COLORADO, 191O. In the early Autumn of that year a train speed- ing toward Chicago carried a young man whose final destination was Houghton, Michigan. It was McMill on his way to begin his training for mining engineering. He was busied in writing a letter to his mother, which concluded with these words: I received one hundred dollars for each one of the footprints of the Triceratops. Who would ever dream that the footprints of an animal which died millions ot' years ago would help pay for a college education. 1 it di' X I I M .vb Junior Class 0fHcers JACK BALDWIN President GRACE HENRY MATTA JOHNSGN Vice President Secretary FORREST CROOKS Treasurer 69 1 .w , 1 V If I x ll 1 f N .,........3 Margaret Abbey Ralph Abbott Edith Anderson Helen Austin Jack Baldwin Lily Barker Donald Bathrick Homer Beckwith Russell Bevington Martha Bird Joseph Boos Rachel Brewer Arletta.

This year, for the first time in our high school life, we had a room all to ourselves, for our special accommodation. The Freshmen and Sophomores are always put together in the Assembly Room, but we had risen above that. Much to our dismay, how- ever, we found that we had single seats, whereas in the Assembly Room two of us could sit together. This was not nearly as convenient for whispered conversations, but we finally became reconciled to it. We were very much like other classes except in one way,-Miss Kirkpatrick, who had charge of the Junior Room, said that we more often disregarded the rules of High School etiquette. Early in the fall a meeting was called for elect- ing class officers. Jack Baldwin was unanimously chosen president, a.nd time has shown that the choice was an excellent one. Miss Grace Henry was elected Vice President by a large majority, while the positions of Secretary and Treasurer were filled by Miss Matta Johnson and Forrest Crooks, respectively. Mr. Carlos Cole was chosen an honorary member, as we realized that, He knew what's what, and that's as high as metaphysic wit can Hy. Pecuniary difficulties are often a source of much anxiety to Junior classes. We easily overcame these, however, in several different ways. First, of course, the annual chicken pie supper. Every one worked enthusiastically, cooking chickens, mashing potatoes, making salads, with the happy result that many people were heard to remark, This certainly tastes like the food that mother used to make. No one even got grouchy after- wards when the dishwashers failed to appear, but all pitched in and helped. As a whole, it was a great success, netting us sixty dollars. In the inter-class track meet, the Juniors made a splendid showing, taking second place, and losing first to the Seniors by only two points. Three of our members were on the foot ball team, the State Champs, and two were on the first basket ball team. In the girls' basket ball league our team took second place. Altogether we were very well represented in athletics. We are also proud to say that we have five Juniors on the Key Board. Two of the members of our class were on the Debating Team and a number are theatrically in- clined, four of them having been in the All School Play, A Crazy Idea. Soon there will be the usual excitement and pleasure of the Junior Picnic given us by the Seniors, and last of all, the receptionitendered by us to the graduates, which will close ia happy and successful year. 7 UHSHHUIQ UQ Sophomore Class OfHcers' LEON HAUCK Presideni LOUISE HOFFMASTER EUGENE MARKEY Vice President Secretary ELIZABETH MEOHEM Treasurer 75 I Allene Ackley Adelaide Adams Eva Aitken Richard Allen L.

Wliy,-really we haven't any. That n1ay sound strange, but it's well to be honest. - According to the time-worn custom tl1e correct manner with which to begin Q class history is to relate how, two years ago, we entered the build- ing, etc., etc., and how green we were, etc., etc., and to tell of our ambitious, etc., etc. But what's the use of all that? Was there ever a freshman class that didn 't outrival the foliage of the shady ffl Prep. School Campus trees in verdancy, tl1e first time they hung their hats in the wrong place? Or that wasn't filled with Napoleonic ambi- tions Qwhich lasted about a weekl? Everybody knows that. The Class of 1914 is a mighty good class. It's never done anything because we 've always been T 'Zia ve' X about half a year behind time. In 1910 we lifted the Hon. James G. Bryant to the presidential chair, but the little fellow crawled off it and we met no more that year. Leon Hauck was the recipient of the honor last fall, but despite his efforts to awak- en us, the class slept all through the long winte1', not even rousing long enough to give a dance. Oh, yes! We DID have another meeting, and Louise Hoffmaster was the unanimous choice for the Vice Presidency, while Beth Meachem was elevated to a seat on the Sophomore safe. fUllf01'tllll2lt9lj' the safe was emptyj. No, it wouldn't take a long retrospection to enu- merate the deeds of the fourteeners, but next year, when we are full-fledged Juniors, we 're going to do things. At least so that we may have some class history then. 'rr '-bf sd YC f 'f'-4 .

COLLER Inasmuch as it has long been the custom, the the Class of 1912 deem it their sacred duty, to recog- nize in a small way, the Class of 1915. After glancing back over the history of the years which we have spent in the Batle Creek High School, it seems impossible that we were ever a group of such foolish, artless, and unstudied little men and women as now appear before us, bearing the general class- ification of Freshmen. During the past year the little people have been unusually progressive, but their initiative was re- ceived with demonstrations of indifference by the upper classmen. In basketball the babes began the season with a rush that nearly frightened a few of the more timid Sophomores and Juniors, but it later developed that the Freshies were only fooling, and it was with difficulty that they won a game of the series. In the interclass track meet, four points were registered by the Freshmen, which compared with forty-eight, scored by the Seniors, will give some idea of the prowess of the Infants. Undaunted by previous defeats, the fifteeners tried valiantly to win the base ball championship, but were swamped by the Preps, and finally land- ed in fifth position, there being five teams in the race. Strongly contrasted with the brave front of the Freshmen in athletics, is their cowardly conduct toward the Sophomores, when attempts were made to amuse them at recess. Upon several occasions, different individuals of the 'fYellow and Green were placed in the waste basket which is stationed in the assembly room, and promises were made to subject several others to a similar treatment, at a later date. Evidently the primary students did not enthuse over this pastime, and for a period of two or three weeks, about thirty or forty of the children followed Professor Atkinson about the building for protection. This number grew to such an extent that the professor was obliged to take the stringent measure of throwing up a few pennies for snatching, and giving each boy a stick of licorice before they could be induced to return to their ses- sion room, and cease blockading the corridors. Although the Freshmen have made many mis- takes, and have greatly overestimated themselves, we realize that this is an error which is made each year, and trust that they have already corrected a majority of their faults, and will return next fall to B. C. High the biggest, and best Sophomore class in the history of the school. Good-bye, Freshmen. Good luck to you. Ihlclics Foot Ball By LEO TATTERSALL The season of 1911 will go down in football his- tory as the most successful Battle Creek High has ever had. The record to be preserved for all future enerations to marvel and wonder over, consists of seven well earned victories, one hard fought tie, and never a defeat. A At the beginning of the season, the prospects for a winning team were very encouraging. There were on hand seven hardened veterans of the fast 1910 team and plenty of promising new material to step into the shoes of 1911 graduates. From Kala- mazoo Normal, home of the famous Sooy Brothers, came Glenn Sooy with four years of football exper- ience and his reputation as coach of Battle Creek High yet to establish. - With many days of practice in perfect weather, the team rounded into shape rapidly and was in the pink of condition for the first game of the year, against Albion, no mean opponent. The game re- sulted in an easy victory and was marked by that well developed team work which, becoming more and more perfect as the season advanced, was the main element of strength in the team and the means of winning games. After Albion, came the Hastings and Charlotte games. Two more to the credit of Battle Creek. At Otsego, the team, play- ing in a soaking rain, on a. slipper field, lacked the 8' strength necessary to push the ball over the last five yards, to the goal against a team much heavier, but minus the experience. The whistle blew with the score a tie, 0 to 05 the only game not resulting in victory. Plainwell defeat- ed, we invaded the camp of our old enemy, Kalamazoo, and in a fierce and exciting contest defeated them for the 'steenth straight time. Last of the season, and hardest of all were the games with Lan- sing and Coldwater. In each of these games the team was taxed to its utmost strength to check the attacks of the op- posing backs and to cross the line for the single touchdown needed to win. Here the stonewall character of the de- fense was exhibited, also the ability in the offense to make a quick successful dash for the goal in the face of equally' determined defensive playing. . '1,g,,, 414-1 .fy Nor was any game of the year at all lacking in individual playing, which one associates with the word, star. In each particular game there were eleven stars, each one brilliant in his place, each one making team work his first thought, glory after- ward. At quarterback, perhaps the most difficult and responsible position on the eleven, Bryant showed remarkable ability. His generalship and brilliant individual work was the life of the whole team. At end, Adams was invincible. Playing de- fense or offense, he was sure and fast, a master at his position. At center, Lothridge played a hard, consistent game, always reliable and doing his best. At fullback, Angell, in offense and de- fense, was high class. He had the the knack of get- ting into every play and was especially good at tackling and running interference. At halfback, Pinch and Markham were two fast brainy men, ground gainers and sure tacklers. Indeed, every player knew well his part, each position being so well and capably filled as to make the evenly bal- anced team from which one may not pick and say, Here is the best. The task of keeping the players in condition and teaching them to work together as a unit, a task requiring unlimited energy and patience Coach Sooy performed well. He had a perfect knowledge of the game in all its details, also the rare ability to hold the confidence of his men and encourage them to do their best. In his first season as coach he ha.s certainly earned the distinction of making good. Not alone from the standpoint of games won was the season a success. The team received good support from the students, and added interest has been awakened in the game itself. Battle Creek High has always stood for clean, fair athletics, and the nineteen eleven team maintained on these prin- ciples has added considerable to her prestige. 'ifyiff-: 'V 4? cf 5' Keaf gtii' til t? V O 'U 90 Track By PHILIJP KELLEHER During the past indoor track season Battle Creek High has had a track team of which it should be proud. Beginning the season with but two men who had won B. C.'s, the chances for a good team looked mighty slim. But new men came out, and after train-- ing, developed into the best indoor track men Battle Creek ever had. The season has been successful in every way. The t e a m trimmed Lansing K who were victors in the last nieetj sixty nine to twenty-six, al- lowing them but two firstsg and then to finish the season in good style, defeated the school's greatest rival, Kalamazoo, by a score of sixty four and a half to twelve and a half. Kalamazoo w a able to win but oueiirst. Q The outdoor team will in all probability be better than the in- door, as the runners are all outdoor men and with two or three exceptions never ran indoors until this season. A meet has been ' scheduled at Lansing for May twenty- third, and at Grand Rapids some time in June will oc- cur the trian- gular meet be- tween Grand Rapids, Kala- mazoo and Battle Creek. It is hoped A that a team BT will be sent to the interscholastic meet at Detroit, as we never had a better chance of scoring. During chapel, June third, the members of the track team were awarded their B. C's. Few realize the actual work required to produce a winning team, but it takes weeks of hard training. What this year's team has done need not be spoken of,- the long list of victories speak for themselves.

BARKER Basketball in B. C. High has at last been raised to an equal footing with football, baseball -and track. The season of 1911-12 is the Hrst in which basketball has been on a paying basis, thanks to the good work of Manager Van Stone. Much credit is due to our coach, Mr. Sooy, who, by his earnest, hard work, developed a team which B. C. will remember as being the first to defeat a bas- ketball quintet from Kalamazoo. Manager Van Stone prepared a schedule, taking on games with schools the size of Kalamazoo, Lansing, Ann Arbor, and Grand Rapids, and it is note worthy that only one game was lost on our home floor, that being to Grand Rapids, the State Champions. At the beginning of the season a meeting of all the members of the 1910-11 team was called to elect a captain. Harold Sha.rpsteen, a center of two years' experience was chosen, and practice started immediately. After the first game Sharpsteen be- came ineligible, and at another meeting of the team Wellington Barker was chosen to take his place as captain. The team representing Battle Creek in interscholastic circles this year was the best ever produced. The school gave them good support, which they fully deserved and appreciated. For forwards on the team there were, Chuck Angel, better known as Rip Van Winkle by his team mates, Bob Abbott, the Little Giant , Merle Doty, the Young Wizard , and Leon Hauck, one of the fastest players in school. The guards were, Jimmy Bryant, who made himself as famous in basketball as he already was in football, and George Markham. The team showed their appre- ciation of Mark's consistently strong playing by electing him captain for the coming season. , The centers were George Cannon, well known as an all around athlete with exceptional basketball ability, and Captain Barker, a member of the team for two years previous. These men were awarded B. C. 's, but mention should be made of the splendid work of Walter Pinch, who would undoubtedly have been 'included in the list of B. C. men were it not for the fact that he was ineligible for the greater part of the games. Leo Tarrersall Chas. Russell Chas.

On a certain day this year a mass meeting was called to warm the school's baseball atmosphere so that tl1e old thermometer in the cor- ridor could hover around the four hundred mark. The speakers convinced, the school cheered, and it was not long before the mercury stood at the long hoped for number. And so, base ball started. Practice began before the winter had left. The gymnasium was put in readiness and the raw re- cruits flocked in, to tell Captain Bill how to play baseball. From afternoon till night the gym re.- sounded with the raps of batted balls, with the crash of broken lights and the scrape of fade away slides. A towel that served as home plate slipped to the remotest corner of the room at every slide, a.nd I m u s t say that the . Hoor is 410 c u s h i o n to fall on. Oh it was b u l ly when th e w a r rn spring d a y S came and we trotted off to - Beach Field, to grate our - black and blue l s p o t s once more on the sod of good Old E a r th. Through the services 0 f Rabbit Fountain, a 'Tll1ree-I-leaguer', and under the guidance of Coach Sooy and optimistic 'Bill Eastman, the Captain and veteran in High School baseball, our team has been trained to meet any aggregation in the state playing under interschol- astic rules. We have met a number of teams so far this year, and overwhelming victories have result- ed, and our possibilities for the future are bright. The pitching staff of Buskirk and Simmons is in- vincible. Wlieii a pitcher pitches a no-hit, no-run game it makes the opponents sit up and take notice. The infield is a Waterbury watch in its move- ments, the outfield, a sticky fly paper in its retent- 99 A A Cx iveness. 'When a fly drops out there, it moans good nightf' All our players work consistently and take the advice of Coach Sooy without that de- testible obstinaey so often seen in high school teams. Every afternoon sees them out for prac- tice. Every morning' sees them in school. NVhen we reflect on the past years, on the vic- tories, disappointments and defeats, when we read with pride the inscription on the shield won by our State Champions and eagerly look forward to the day when we shall read a similar inscription on an- other, we realize that it is the spirit of loyalty, a spirit imbedded in the hearts and in the muscles of every one of our athletes that makes Battle Creek High a leader in baseball, in football, in basketball and in track.

A. L. S. By RUTH REYNOLDS Oct. 4, 1911. What a long time it has been since I have writ- ten about a G. A. L. S. meeting. About four months I think. There were about thirty-five at the meeting last night, but several I know are going to drop out. I do 11ot remember who was chairman of the spread committee, but she certainly knew what was good to eat,-meat loaf, potato salad, fruit salad, sandwiches, olives, nuts, candy, ice cream and cake. Dec. 19, 1911. I have just returned from the Christmas party, the proud possessor of a little brown dog with a very excitable tail. After all the girls had arrived Santa Claus came, in the person of Miss Griffin, and distributed the gifts which had been placed in some mysterious way on a Christmas tree. Jan. 14, 1912. Almost everyone was completely stunned to think that the G. A. L. S. would give a Leap Year sleigh ride, but nevertheless one was given last night. At about seven-thirty, the bobs came and everyone tried to get into the first one with the result that a few unfortunate individuals who got in first were almost crushed, and that both chaper- ones were in one bob. At ten o'clock we arrived at Laura Greene 's home in the country. Games were played and a general good time indulged in until the supper was served. Eating always makes one sociable, so by the time it was over and Ted Squier was made toast master, many felt equal to respond to a toast. Some were clever, some were funny and some who tried to be funny failed miser- ably, in reality making all the more fun. April 9, 1912. Only five more meetings of G. A. L. S. and then all the Senior members will be eligible for a meet- ing such as was given last night. The alumnac are always welcome at the meetings, but as they seldom come it was decided to invite them to come and bring their sewing. Few accepted the invita- tion however, and even fewer brought their sewing. During the evening Eulalia Hannon sang some of the songs that we enjoyed best last year, and we appreciated th-em thoroughly as every one does who hears her sing. Finally we had a spread. May 1, 1912. Someone asked me the other day if the G. A. L. S. had made any special plans for the remainder of the year. First of all we are anxious to finish The Girl of the Limberlost, but if we do, several chap- ters must be read at each of the remaining meet- ings, so I think probably each member will finish it herself later. The three teachers who have been members this year are going to have the last meet- ing, and undoubtedly we will have a picnic at either Goguac or Gull Lake, bringing to a close a most successful year both from a literary and social standpoint. The Debating Club Anyone fortunate enough to have been present at the delightful, rapid, nut-roastorial feast of the B. C. H. S. Debating Club held at the greatest San- itarium in the world, would have been impressed with the exclelence of the club's wo1'k as indicated by the different speakers in their several accounts of the year's successes,- the weekly combats, wherein the club men1- bers determined such points as the thlustifiabil- ity of the Chinese Revo- lution, whether Capi- tal Punishment Should be Abolished, and mat- ters of like importance. The toastmaster of the - evening was Harold Barnes, the Debating . Club 's president, and the other officers, Ralph Collier, the vice-president, Ralph Canright, the treasurer, the secretary, Ross Coller, and Mr. Shuart, the faculty critic, were also there. i Merrill Miner had a toast on the Valor of Gesticulation --both instructive and amusing. It was Jack Baldwin's lot to toast Our Winning Ones-VVho Put Owosso to Rout, for that debate was the giant gloryissimo of the club's year. VVe were challenged to debate by the Owosso High School. The subject, Resolved: That the Recall of State and Federal - Judges is a Sound Gov- ernmental Principle. We were given our choice .of sides. Not many of the club's members were in- formed on the subject and we were only saved from selecting the atiirm- ative side by the timely appearance of that gener- ous friend of the school, Mr. J. L. Hooper, who in an address to all the stu- dents impressed us with a belief in the dire con- sequences that would result from the recall of judges. We chose the negative side. Thus equipped with the right and with Ted Squier, Fred Rainbow and Merrill Miner for our debaters, we easily won. Our team outclassed the Owosso team on all points. With our energetic and responsible leader, Ted Squier, the team worked splendidly. And then the individual work was fine. Our leader's constructive work was a masterpiece of subtile argument and diction, and he delivered it impressively 5-and his rebuttal showed great pres- ence of mind. Rainbow supplemented his chief's work ably and Miner in an inspiring and most con- vincing manner said more in his ten minutes of Roll Call of th speaking than the average man could accomplish in that number of hours. We have reason to be proud ot' our first out of town debate. During the year the club also gave a mock sen- ate. The banquet was the delightful termination of the club's year, and the last toast by Ted Squier on the Future of the Debating Club was a happy prediction of triumphs to come. e Debating Club HAROLD D.

We met in the latter part of September and elected our officers for the firstsemester. Dur- ing the early part of the year, the meetings were held in the gymnasium, where good times always prevailed. Later in the year several members kindly offered to open their homes to the club, and advan- tage of this was quickly taken. We wish to thank them, and also Miss Allwardt for her kindness in acting as our chaperone upon so many occasions. Our first entertainment was a Christmas party given to the Junior German students. At the con- clusion of several interesting games came a grand march, following which, all gathered around a Christmastree while f'Doc Haughey as Santa distributed the gifts. It was quite delightful to see the dignified Seniors and the haughty Juniors return to their child-hood days via the route of the tin horn, the doll and the toy horse. But fully as enjoyable as tl1e Christmas party was the German Club sleigh ride. Between thirty and forty deut- chers enjoyed the trip out to Miss Sackrider's home, where a delicious oyster supper supplied every Hgnawing pang of hunger. Music, the Virginia reel and the old fashioned quadrille then occupied the balance of the evening. VVe get home about-Oh never mind the time, that is of the least importance anyway. About the middle of Febru- ary the faculty and the German Club received invi- tations from Le Cercle Francais to a masquerade party in t.he gymnasium. This was known as a Mother Goose party and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Besides enjoying the club as a social factor, we have also been benehted in an intellectual way by means of conversation and stories in German. This combination of the social and the intellectual has been of great benefit to all, and one only regrets that more did not take advantage of it. The officers for the first semester were: Presi- dent, Ralph Canrightg Vice President, Ruth Fisher, Secretary, Phillip Kelleher. For the second semes- ter the officers were: President, Harold Barnes, Vice President, Leta Browning, Secretary, Helen De Barr, and Charles Russell, Treasurer. if German Club OFFICERS HAROLD D.

MUSIC By ESTE LLA ISIIOWN Music in High School, in order to obtain its greatest results should have for its purpose 'two fundamental ideas: first, the 'enjoyment both of the listener and the musician, second, in these days when commercialism seems to reign, to make the students better acquainted with one of the finer arts and to make them familiar with and apprecia- tive of the best class of music. These aims have both been carried out. The most important musical event of the year was the rendition of tl1e Hallelujah,' and Unto Us a Son is Born choruses from the Messiah These were given by the combined Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs and the High School Chorus, assisted by Mrs. Joy Hubbard, as contralto soloist. The ac- companiment was played by the High School Or- chestra. The concert was given the day before the Christmas vacation and it was a very suitable way of celebrating Christmas spirit in the school. The aim in selecting pieces for work this year was to obtain selections from well known operas. This necessitated better training as they were more difficult than those we had ever before sung, and there was no hope that we could render them in the manner that they should be given. But we at least gained a better understanding and can now more thoroughly ,enjoy these compositions than ever before. The Girls' Glee Club has grown so in size this year as to warrant the forming of a Second Girls, Glee Club. Among the selections they have ren- dered this year is the Spinning Song from the Flying Dutchman, and which is undoubtedly the best. The Boys' Glee Club has had a very suc- cessful year, rendering The Pilgrim's Chorus from Tannl1aeuser, and The Soldier's Chorus from Faust, in a very commendable manner. During one chorus hour a Victrola Concert was given, and the students were thus enabled to hear a great many of the operatic selections as given by the best musicians. The Victrola used was not the property of the school, but it is the aim of the de- partment to acquire one, and a fund for this pur- pose has already grown to considerable size. For the past three years under the capable direction of Mr. Bryce, there has been remarkable improvement in the Orchestra, and now it is, with- out a doubt, the best high school orchestra in the state. This year, assisted by Miss Irma Calkins, and Mr. Niles Bryant, as soloists, a concert was given that was thoroughly appreciated by the aud- ience. Among the numbers played, a selection from Balfe's opera, The Bohemian Girl, and the overture from Norman were rendered especially well. In looking back over tl1e year, it has surely been a very profitable one, for, although complete suc- cess may not have been attained, great strides have been made toward the ideal in High School music. 130 ' , I mtv -'J , .U ... , . .ffzmlqqc 1 Y Q05 4 'NN X 4 71. . sy Q- QW go 'I' -,3 '3.f-Q' - Ifgk L-fx 'fr i U V Q 1 X f f.,x.,.X , ff? 59 Q R 'I' lf f l!

Respectfully dedicated to the Paean Board and cast for the Senior Play. Once upon a midnight dreary, As I pondered, weak and weary, How in Physics I might shine, Came a spectre, grim and fearful, Bore this message to mae, tearful, Child, thy name's below the line I AVaunt thee, ghost, with thy wild prattle, Cease to make my teeth to rattle, That name-surely 'tis not mine! Quoth the spectre, calm, unfeeling, His dread message cooly dealing, H 'Tis tl1y name below the line! Oh, thou horseshoe, giv'n to mortal, Perched above my chamber's portal, Of good luck thou art a sign, Tell me, in thee now confiding, Is it true, this direful tiding, That my name's below the line? But the horeshoe, grimly staring, Unresponsive, coolly glaring, In its coat of gilt so fine, For its resting place ungrateful, Uttered sad tl1e message hateful, Yea, thy name's below the line! I Alack! Ye gods and little fishes, Granters of my childish wishes, E'er I on this hemlock dine, If any love for 1ne ye cherish, Come and save me e'er I perish- Is that my name below the line? Then lo! The radiant sky grew brighter While my spirits, free and lighter, Scared as if from new-made wine, While sweet voices, near and nearer Cried in accents, dearer, clearer, Yea, thy name's below the line! But, sweet maiden, be not fearful, Do not raise those eyes so tearful, Nor so sorrow-stricken pine. Do not marvel tl1at we tell thee, Tl1ou hast done thy fuller duty, Tho' thy name's below the line! Miss Hour, Caesar X: By whom were the Ner- vii slain? R. GRABO: By the ablative? Miss Hom: Cabsent-mindedl : Yes, JEss1E ARCHIBOLD, German XII: If it were not for my right, I'd l1ang that fish pond! Miss ICIRKPATRICK, History XII: So many of you are called to tl1e chair and so few of you know how to get out of tl1e chair!

Miss Kirkpatrick said that someone had lost the footprints of famous men. Mr. Coburn's Address- Arise, ye Seniors, arise, Wliile the sheep-skins are handed you, For in twelve long years you 've surely learned Some manners, scant and few. Go forth in the dreary world, Like the fabled knights of yore, And smite with thy fist who first shall say, Out it out--I'm getting sore. MAE DRISCOLL, G. O.

A Remarkable Flight On every side you hear the Public speaking of the fine course at the Battle Creek High School. Even such modern features as aviation are master- ed by the Seniors. The first flights ever made at our school were the flights of stairs. Although these continue to hold the crowds, they are not in, tl1e class of those wl1o participated in the Six Hour Free for All. A throng gathered as the Barker announced that the airships were coming out of the Barnes. The first to appear was a single Decker, alld in a minute it was a Dot on the dark 'Evans Many others followed rapidly 'till 8:00 a. rn., and a Sleeper or two straggled up late, fearful lest they get a slip while starting. The flights of Oratory and Rhetoric were ended by breakdowns and there are reported to B 3 wreck- ed aviators on Brigham's rocks. At C, 1 plane lit- terally cut another,.and it has been ascertained that the owner of the plane geometry was to blame. The American Lit, third hour, despite all efforts made to Warriner. The Frenchie crawled into his Schell fourth hour, and the German triplane was such a hard Turner it could not make the course. Virgil, the Latin exponent of the aerodrome, had his machine go dead, explode with a report like a Cannon, and blow to Tatters-all most before he knew anything was wrong. His machine like Gallia, est omnis divisa in partes tres. One Mann had a fall, while Knappen, but fortu- nately was checked by the Branches of Chemistry and la11ded on the soft Cole. The Sack ricler had the misfortune to Pierce the Myers so deeply as to be forced to call for tl1e assistance of a Fisher and an unknown Shoveler, who chanced to be hard by to extricate her monoplane. Everyone Greaves to think that the possessors of the wrecked air ships Mayo a Little Bill they will find hard to strike out. A Newcomer who is known as the Fascinating Widow and also the Fanny who solved the servant problem, made a beautiful flight. She pinned a Daisy on her Brown, Taylor made flying Armour, and sitting down on her Brinin stool, loosened her Coller a trifle, took a HI'1T1 Holt, and pushing De Barr over, swept with Grace over A.
