f 4. .Hx K. v 1:1 . . if '52 , 'A 5. If abc 1In Emerica HE great house of Tiffany 8L Co., Union Square, New York, is famous in every section of the world. Its fame is based on a solid foundation. For originality, Tiffany 8: Co., are un- surpassed : the skill and intelligence shown in the execution of their work are themes for continuous comment, while in artistic detail, and conscientious care, they are far in advance of Euro- pean or American competitors. It is not, therefore, a matter for surprise that Kaiser William, of Germany, should become intensely interested in a specimen of Tiffany 84 Co.'s exquisitely beautiful work-a vase presented to the Frankfort Saengerfest, by the wealthy New Yorker, Mr. Pagenstecher. When the Kaiser saw this vase, he exclaimed : Wonderful ! Such work cannot be done in Germany! The Kaiser's habit of bluntly telling the truth, did not please the German silversmiths, who sent a deputation to complain that his assertion was unjust. The Kaiser refused to eat his words, as they say in Russia, re- plying to the deputation as follows : I will give you one more chance ! If you fail, I will order my trophies in New York ill future. Could any higher compliment, or more substantial recogni- tion be given to the firm of Tiffany 8: Co.? Americans are justly proud of this great house, and The Item predicts that one more chance will be sufficient to convince the mighty German Emperor that if he wants trophies that are the best in all respects-representing the highest accomplishments in orig- inality, art and manufacture--he must give the order to Tiffany 8: Co. -Ea'z'iorz'al-Plziladeyhia Ilem, 3 Oclober, 190 3 Price, 51.005 postpaid, 31.25 Address F.

It has been our endeavor to make the book a true reflection of the life of the school during 'the past year. As this is the first Annual published by the Seniors of Blair Hall, our task has not been an easy one. So we trust that the readers will be lenient in their criticisms and overlook the imperfections which this Annual, like the Erst issue of any publication, may exhibit. We have tried to establish a precedent and we look to succeeding classes to finish well the work which we have begun. The past year has been a year of growth for Blair Hall in all respects. The increase in the extent of campus, the erection of a recitation hall, and the acquisition of a beautiful little lake adjoining the campus have greatly improved the school, while the number of students is the largest in the history of the Academy. 3obn GZ. Sharpe as OHN C. SHARPE was born at Newville, Pennsylvania. His preparatory school work was done in the public schools of his native towng at Chambersburg Academy, then in charge of Dr. J. H. Shumaker, who was principal of Blair Hall from 1883 to 1892 5 and at the State Normal School at Shippensburg, from which he graduated with its tirst class. After teaching in the public schools and in the State Normal Schools at Indiana, Pa., and California, Pa., he entered the Univer- sity of Wooster in 1879 and graduated with the class of '83. He then taught for one year in the University before going to Shady Side Academy, at Pittsburg, where he was an instructor for fourteen years. During his residence in Pittsburg, he took a theological course, was licensed to the gospel ministry by the Presbytery of Pittsburg in 1889, and ordained by the same Presbytery in 1891. In addition to his duties as instructor in Shady Side Academy he had charge of the Highland Mission in 1890 and 1891. This mission was organized in December, 1891, as the Highland Presbyterian Church. Later, he had charge of the Valley View Mission for two years, resigning when about to move away from Pittsburg. This mission has also been organized as a Presbyterian church. Since 1898, Mr. Sharpe has been the Principal of Blair Hall.

However, as tl1e Class of '04 has not been organized during all of the tive years of its existence, it is im- possible to consult any record for the history of its deeds, and so, in a way, the historian is like the prophet-though his face is directed toward the past. It was in the fall of 1899 that from a New York, Susquehanna 8z Western Limited Climited as to cars, not timej alighted the first mem- bers ofthe peerless Class of 'o4. Thirteen in number, commonly known and looked upon as Preps , they distinguished themselves in the excellence of their work and by their innumerable plans won- derfully made and fearfully carried out. The fact that they number- ed thirteen and were looked down upon by the upper-classmen did not effect them in the least, for they grew and prospered among the tares , looking ever toward the time when they should emerge from that the rough-stone age of their existence. Tempus fugit . The Preps returned the next year no longer to be termed mere Preps, but tirst-formers. Nevertheless, they were still the youngest class in school, for the preparatory de- partment had been abolished that the memory of its last and most ambitious class might not be eH'aced. As 'first-formers they were no less distinguished than as Preps, but greater in numbers and wisdom. The future more-vivid con- dition ' that '04 will excel all other classes of the school was now realized-the Cottage had been moved from its exalted position on the hill and Clinton Hall was ere6ted in its place in order that there might be better accommodations for the instruc'tion of lim class of the school. ' ' Another year rolled by. Increased by a few new members, they were to be called Sophomores and a most fitting name it was, for what word conld more thoroughly describe' their characteristic wisdom and foolishness than that of wise foo1 ! During this year the demon of mischief seemed to get possession of nearly all, both boys and-girls. Many were the terrible acci- dents which took place 5 some rules were let fall, others were shatter- ed to pieces and the noise of the clestrucftion was at times so great as to disturb the powers that be at midnight. But all work and no play would have made '04 a dull class! The proverb is well proven in this case, for is not '04 noted for its brilliancy and ingenuity! In the fall of 'oz the third chemical change took place-some had not returned and others had come to take their places. It was not until this year that, 'for the most part, they began to see the many responsibilities that were to be handed down to them by the higher classes and in consequence were somewhat more dignified than before. i By this time '04 had grown quite large and very observing- ever keeping in mind the crowning year of its existence. The class of '03 was, to be sure, an excellent one, but perhaps it was best that they should make some mistakes, for '04, ever improving,-if such a thing is possible-profited by them. The height of their ambition was at last reached when in May I LOCKE HALL AND INSLEY HALL 1903 they were organized as a class, the unexcelled class of ,04. It seems strange that it was called the Class of '04 when in reality it was the class of good forty! Yet, not so fast. By proportion ,O4 is equivalent to good forty, thus-Good: 04: : naughty: 40. In this the last year of lo4's career it upholds tl1e usual dignity of Seniors and preserves order in every department of school life. In return it enjoys the limited Senior privileges with all they signify. Never has there been so large a Senior class in Blair Hall and never one that has made itself so useful in contributing plans for the advancement of the school in general. During nearly five years, short though they seem, ,O4 has al- ways given its assistance in the efforts to uphold the high standards erected by preceding classes. The Breeze has received generous contributions from '04: the literary societies-the pride of Blair Hall-l1ave depended largely for their guidance upon the members of '04 5 while the athletic association owes a great deal of its success to the untiring elforts of ,O4 to strengthen every team chosen to represent Blair Hall in her contests with other schools. The Class of '04 is now living in the Present, hopeful that it may excel all records of the Past and that its greatest history is yet to be recorded. As the Future is best foretold by the Past, each member of the Class of o4 should have a cheerful and hopeful heart to await the wind that shortly blows us into worlds unknown. - I-IISTORIAN MINIUEIJRS 5, 4.04, F A ' A Z M wfficers PRESIDENT-ALFRED BELL VAN HOUTEN VICE-PRESIDENT-OLIVER JOSEPH DIXON SECRETARY AND TRliASlT1iER-MURIEL DELIA SPICER the 3unior Glass DOROTHY BENNETT ..... , .... . . .

Go the Glass of 1905 as N writing a history of the class of '05 there seems little that we can say, for, in truth, it has existed for but a brief time, except in the imaginations of some who seem to have conceived a nebulous idea of such a thing. But for those who have such vivid imagina- tions, the term '05 would not be heard of in Blair Hall until the grave old seniors of '04 are about to take their departure. We, the senior class, have set a line example for those who will ,succeed us, and it is to be hoped that tl1e class of '05 will fol- low suit with a view to leaving behind a peerless reputation, such as now distinguishes the class of ,04. In so far as you, compared with ourselves, are not rich in quali- ty and quantity we sympathize with you. But we admit you pos- sess a Good HCejart, which we trust will carry you through some of the discouragements sure to beset you in your attempts to maintain the ponderous dignity of seniors. You will have your troubles and will think your work is never to be finished. But you have only to take courage and to remember that we too have done hard work and that what man l1as done man can do. Indeed, oh juniors, if we may address you directly, you are on a very equality with us, since, like ourselves, you have a Cook. Verily we declare you surpass us to the extent that you have also a House and a large supply of fresh SpiceQrjs . With such re- sources you ought easily to solve the problems incident to senior life. In spunk and forwardness you far excel all previous classes in this our own beloved Alma Mater. A little, to be sure, is quite nec- essary, and we encourage it to a certain degree but when it amounts to oihciousness then we advise you to take care. Remember that you are not the whole school and that you can never measure up all around with us-the worthy members of ,O4. Should you allow your boasting power, together with your vocal cords, to run loose as you did the night you tried in vain to outdo us in your cheering, you will surely come to grief. Call to mind the old saying, A place for everything and everything in its place, and then remember that, when you thought you were members of the third form, in reality you had no Place and were out of order in demanding the Place of the junior class. Your rashness at times, has brought you to that state in which you now possess a Blackburn on your reputation. It therefore behooves you to keep that Blackburn from enlarging itself. It is small now, to be sure, but it is extending its influence and may in time become the ruling power, not only in your thoughts and actions, but also in some of your hearts. In closing, we advise ,close adherence to the rules of the school and a proper amount of class spirit. Modesty forbids us to say that we are perfect, but in truth, the class of 'o4 can never be surpassed. Therefore stately juniors, the best that you can do is to take us as your standard and constrain the class of '06 to look up to you as you-though often secretly-have looked up to us.

After indulging in a hearty meal, I leaned back in my chair and spent an hour or so in viewing the room and its occupants, and in listening to snatches of the con- versation. On the other side of the restaurant, near the door, two gentle- men, one short and well built, the other tall and thin, were dis- cussing earnestly one of the great questions of the day. Neither seemed to be convinced by the arguments of the other, until the tall one said, in a tone of the utmost sincerity: Joseph Chamber- lain's tariif policy will lower the Price of food products and make Strong the home manufacturing houses. Under this policy, Eng- land would soon regain her commercial supremacy. Soon the two men finished their lunch and went out. just as the door closed, the tall gentleman said : Your explanation has Given me a Fuller understanding of the question. My attention was soon drawn to a company of Germans, who entered in a state of excitement. They went up to a small boy who was sitting at one of the tables, and asked, as it were, with one voice: Villy, Villy, wo ist deine Mutter?,' The poor child was not able to answer the question, and the grief of the Germans seemed unbounded. They hurried out, wringing their hands and exclaiming: Ach, was konnen wir thun? Unsere Mutter ist tot, sie ist tot. I This rather tragic scene' was interrupted by the Cook, who came running in with a large Spike in her hand and threatened to kill the manager unless he supplied her with coal. The manager was rather angry, for, as he said, she had used ten cords of wood and Over a Ton of coal in a week. That makes no difference, said the cook, brandishing the spike savagely. I tell you, the Hull bizness is thisg you give me fuel, or out I get. just then a truck came rumbling up to the side door, and the driver put oh' two Cases of soft drinks on the walk. He then came into the oHice to settle with the cashier. But, before coming to the business, he said: I am half Friz be patient till I get thawed out. While he was warming his hands at the radiator my atten- tion was called to two young ladies, who came mincing in and took seats. They called for chocolate Eclairs and coffee. While waiting they were attracted by a small boy at the next table. Oh, Joy, how cute! one of them exclaimed. Finding that the child did not respond, they turned away and commenced an affected conversation. Their poor use of English showed plainly that they were of the newly rich. Two Porters came in with my trunk, I heard one of them say: It was Klar that it had been banged around awfully. While the other girl said: I called the Butler, a large dignified man, and asked him if he had saw anything of my White lace handkerchief that I lost last week. The first then asked: Say, Lou, where did you get that handkerchief? I turned away to find some more interesting sight. A waiter of a dark Brown color, whose face looked rather Meloney, came in with a plate of Umberger cheese balanced on his hand. The cheese was very strong, and its odor affected several, especially one large Man Cnj, who turned his head in disgust. At this point two small boys entered the restaurant. It was evident from their behaviorhthat this was their irst visit to New York. They soon made known the fact that they hailed from Read- ing, Pennsylvania, and that their father had purchased a new suit of spring clothing at Rogers, Peet 8a Co.'s store. Their talk showed that, in their opinion, no one had a Fuller knowledge of Reading than themselves. Finally I grew tired of the atmosphere of the restaurant, and started out for a stroll on the Battery. A fire-boat, with Hull painted Green, was anchored near, and a Smith was engaged in making slight repairs on the deck. To my surprise, the smith was taking things easy, but I recollectedi that the New York Fire De- partment Hires union men, and that union men are never in a hurry. Suddenly one of the crew, who was taking a rest and having some fun, jumped at least three feet from the deck. His com- panions called out, Thomas always was quite a Springer. Five or six lads were playing tag nearby. A quarrel had arisen among them as to who was it. One of the lads called out: That's no go. I've been it three times already. However. they ended the dispute and tried to amuse a little cripple, whom they called poor Bent Lee Jones. The poor boy was delighted with the kind- ness of the boys, and expressed his pleasure in a voice Husky with emotion. A sentimental lady was standing near, murmuring some verses about the salty Brine, and embellishing the recitation with sweeping gestures from east to West. Her Felt hat rested but insecurely upon her Head, which looked as if she had stuck it into a hay Rick. She kept her eyes Gxed on a large wooden Peg, which was Bobbing up and down in the water. When the recitation was Hnished, she began to Con Aunt Mira's Cook book and heaved a sorrowful sigh. Once she exclaimed aloud : I suppose he is home now, drinking Bock-beer with his feet in the Oven. This remark started a train of serious reflections, and I ceased to enjoy my surroundings. After all, life is a Craggy path and de- mands a great deal of hard climbing. It was now 4 o'c1ock. I felt compelled to take an uptown car for my home in Harlem. 1In flbemoriam Zlrtbur 'wlbttin wail JBOYII lB8l'Cb 14, 1885 D160 Samlaty 18, 1903 Our schoolmate and friend, whose memory is cherished by all with whom he was associated.

WORTMAN ALPHA DELTA ALPHA-1 90-L Kbe Gontest as N the evening of the twenty-second of February, the school, with many friends, assembled in the chapel to witness the annual contest between the Chi Epsilon Chi and Adelphi literary societies. Universal applause arose as the contestants came in and took their places. The program was opened by prayer by Dr. Butler, which was followed by a piano solo by Miss Wagner, '03, an accomplished musician. The contest Cproperj then began with a declamation by Mr. Blackburn, who held the attention of his audience admirably and did honor to X. E. X. His opponent, Mr. Uniberger, also delivered his selection with high credit and made the decision doubtful. The essay by Mr. Butler, representing the work of X. E. X., was written in a very pleasing style and showed deep thought. That by Mr. Overton of Adelphi, was instructive and showed much knowledge of the ancient languages. Each of the debaters of the evening, Mr. Joy, X. E. X., and Mr. Price, Adelphi, upheld his side with spirit. Their earnestness in proving their points commanded close attention from all. The hearty applause that was given both showed that a decision would be difficult to make in their case. Mr. White did full justice to the reading for Adelphi. He put a great deal of life and spirit into his selection and made his audi- ence feel the danger and excitement of that Run of the Overland. The reading by Mr. McCaslin was rendered in a most praise- worthy manner. The pathos expressed by tone and gesture appealed to every one who heard him. The two orators, Mr.'Meloney, Adelphi, and Mr. Greene, X. E. X., may well be spoken of together, asit would be diflicult for us to say which was the better. Both delivered their orations in a Way most creditable to themselves and to their respective societies. This was an excellent climax for a most pleasant program. The judges, Rev. William T. Holmes of Watertown, Conn.: Mr. Stanley R. Yarnall, Germantown, Pa.: Prof. john F. L. Raschen, Lafayette College, withdrew to make their decision. Dur- ing this interval Miss Hutton, the vocal teacher, entertained us. Her singing was enthusiastically applauded and encored. When she had finished the winners were announced as Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Overton, Mr. Price, Mr. White and Mr. Greene. The score stood 11-8 infavor of Adelphi. The quality of the work was such as can be secured only by the greatest perseverance and the most earnest toil. The contest- ants are to be congratulated that they upheld the high standard set up by former contests in such a laudable manner. The following was the program of the evening: PRAYER Rav. HENRY S.

SPRINGER VxcE-PRESIDENT-DANIEL B. BENTLEY TREASURER-PROP. DAVID E. FILSON Che Baseball 'Geam of 1903 as N Blair Hall, the baseball season opens in April rather than in March. Most teams take a Southern trip in Marchg but a Southern trip for such a team as ours seems impracticable, not only because of the expense but also because such a trip means absence from our school home and from our lessons. Such a policy is not to be encouraged in our Academic student body. . The month of April, nineteen hundred and three, was not favorable for baseball, and the weather conditions betokened a wet season. The progress of the team was retarded by the abundance of rain. In fact as the weeks came and went, March and April seemed to have changed places. The usual blustering, disagreeable March was clothed in sunshine and was pregnant with balmy air. So alluring was the sunshine, so soft was the air that many a robin came North too soon, many a plant sent forth its tendrils before its time. April, however, abouncled little in sunshine but much in wind and rain. The weather quite discouraged the baseball men. Rain or no rain, mud or no mud, a baseball season was ahead and preparation had to be made for it. Practice began. A goodly number of candidates appeared and some very good material was discovered. The usual sifting-out process was gone through with and soon a regular 'Varsity was spoken of with freedom. Blair Hall was especially favored last year in having Mr. R. R. Sheiiield as its Athletic Instructor. Under his careful instruction, improvement was daily marked in the playing, especially in the style and elfectiveness of the batting. The schedule was a good one and was well arranged, not with teams which we could easily outclass, but with opponents worthy of our steel. The season opened well for us and we were very sauguine con- cerning its possibilities. Soon, however. we were shown that defeat was a very possible thing. The spirit of the team was aggressive, and though our runs did not always equal those of our opponents, a new incentive was given to practice harder and to do better the next time. Not to be overlooked is the influence of the Scrubs on the playing of the 'Varsity. On an average of twice a week, the Scrubs and 'Varsity had a regular game which greatly added to the interest and pleasure ot practice. So Well did the diiferent members of the Scrubs play that the 'Varsity men holding cor- responding positions had continually to exert themselves to make their playing superior in contrast. In baseball, as in football, great credit is due to the faithful work of the Scrubs. Thus the team grew in strength and ability and the season pro- ceeded with an interchange of victory and defeat 5 yet, with one ex- ception, all the games .were well contested and interesting. If any of the games were more interesting than the others, the following three should be first mentioned : Lafayette Scrubs, Peddie Institute and Princeton Prep., in each of which the game was won by a single run. They were all fought for, and until the Enal run was made, it was anybody's gameg but the agility of the fielders made safe hits a rare occurrence. Though we cannot see a long line of victories in looking back over the season, we can see as many victories as defeats. Further- more, considering the strength of the opposing teams and their rela- tive positions in the baseball world, we cannot help feeling that the SCRSOII WHS 3 Sl1CCCSSfl1l ODE. CLINTON J.

The per- centage of games was neither startling nor in all respects as satisfactory as we might have wished. When we consider, how- ever, the small number who began the season with experience, the loyalty and devotion of the student body to the captain and coach, the spirit which actuated every player as he strove to do his part in bringing out a team worthy of his school, and, lastly, the really excellent quality of football played throughout the season-when we consider these things, we believe the past season to be quite unique in our athletic history. With only three tried and experienced players, the outlook at the beginning of the season was anything but bright. Several new men of marked ability soon put ill an appearance and these, with a large number of willing but inexperienced players, formed a squad which promised to do great things. The spirit ofthe squad was excellent. Regular attendance on practice and strict attention to the directions of those in control, brought the inevitable result and the players were soon running off with that rapidity and precision which bodes ill for the chance rival. Eleven men came to the front, and these eleven men, back- ed up by equally as willing substitutes, carried to a linish a success- ful sesson and did credit to themselves and to tl1e school. It is not our purpose to go into detail concerning any game or player, but rather to speak in generalities. The style of play which Mr. Blakely developed was characterized by speed and con- certed action of a high type. In only one game were our oppon- ents as fast and snappy as we. Signals were given sharply and with judgment and, like a shot, the whole team as one man executed the play to the best of their ability. The line was light but nervy and it had the good fortune to be supported by a fast heavy back field. Individually and collectively the back field was a tower of strength, doing yeomau's service in every game. Great credit is due to every member of the team. But what effect has such a season 011 the school in general? There can be but one answer when we remember the large number who, evening after evening, against great odds, and without the hope of making the team, played on the second and third elevens, doing their humble share in helping their older fellows to develop manly courage and to build up their bodies for the strain of harder days. He would be a very thoughtless observer who did not see character building going on in the midst of the scrimmages. The season's greatest good .to the school did not lie in its victories, but in the development of manlier and stronger boys. In this feature the season was a marked success. To Mr. Blakely belongs no small share of the success of the season. Under his able and energetic direction a squad of largely inexperienced players were developed into a well organized team whose every play showed the result of his intelligent and painstak- ing care. Captain Umberger has done full justice to the honor conferred upon him. It will be many a year before the Blair Hall football team will have a captain who can surpass Bob in faithfulness, fairness and good playing. Mr. Blackburn, as manager of the team, evinced business qualities that we are sure will be of use to him in after life. The season has added prestige to the school, and fair play, courage and mauliness are held in higher esteem by the student body than ever before. This means a successful season. STATISTICS OF TEAM Robert B. Umberger,Wyo1ning, Pa. Captain, quarterback, age 17, weight, 152, height, 5.7. Second year on team. Captain Um- berger at quarter was the soul of our team this fall, always cheerful and ,always hopeful. He sacrificed himself and played a 'star' game. He kept his head and used it. W. E. Blackburn, Pittsburg, Pa. Quarterback, age 18, weight, 125, height, 5.5. Manager. Dewitt E. Brown, East Orange, N. J. Center, age 18, weight, 152, height, 6.1. First year on team. Brown at center was steady and sure, and for his weight surprised us all in the way he played. . Halsey D. Rogers, Westhampton Beach, L. I. Left guard, age 19, weight, IQ8, height,6 feet. Second year on team. Rogers, heavy and experienced, was solid, and could always be relied upon to brace up his side of the line and make substantial gains. William M. Ely, Holindel, N. J. Right guard, age 17, weight, 156, height, 5.10 First year on team. Ely was lighter and less experienced than Rogers, but was faster and more aggres- sive. Earnest L. Petersen, Scranton, Pa. Right tackle, age 19, weight, 160, height, 5.6. Second year on team. Petersen at right tackle played a splendid game. A stocky, powerful man like he is hard to manage and hard to stop, and he 5. was everywhere at once. William D. Kirkpatrick, Chatham, N. Y. Left tackle, age 16, Weight, 170, height, 5.11. First year on team. Kirkpatrick, the left tackle, was slower in his movements than Petersen and played an average game against hard men. Wilbur C. Springer, Salem, N. J. Left end, age 18, weight, I35, height, 5.7. Second year on team. Springer, at end, light and fast, was usually on hand when needed and kept his head. Thomas A. McCaslin, Emporium, Pa. Left end, age 19,weight, 138, height, 5.8. First year on team. McCaslin has an end's nerve and a cool head, but is too light to make the most of himself against average teams. Clinton J. Greene, Havana, Cuba. Right end, age zo, weight, 155, height, 5. 11. Second year on team. Greene was a careful player to be relied upon always. Paul Hart, Pennington, N. J. Right halfback, age 19, weight, 177, height, 5.11. First year on team. Hart, at right half back, was a 'star.' He was never down, his line bucking was good, he ran splendidly in a broken field and was a good defensive player. We shall miss him and his 5o yard punts. Henry E. joy, New York, N. Y. Left half back, age 20, weight, 180, height, 5.7M. First year on team. Joy was a powerful end runner, a careful defensive player, an excellent place kicker and a man in whom others had confidence. He will leave a big gap next year. Ralph A. Smith, Chillicothe, Ohio. Full back, age 19, weight, 155, height, 5.10. First year on team. Smith was probably the best defensive player on the team. Either here or on end he was a good man. Charles W. Meloney, Richmond Va. Fullback, age 17, weight, 148, height, 5.10. First year on team. Me1oney was a little slow in starting, but held his own and made a good record. His line plunging was a feature of the C. C. I. game.

Scrubs, 0 BLAIR HALL SECOND TEAM-1903 :Basket JBaII as URING the Fall term of school, while the boys are winning glory on the football field, the girls do not stand idly watch- ing them, but they are busy and enthusiastic over their own athletics There are different sports for the different tastes, but the most im- portant is basket ball. In playing basket ball, no girl is in danger of becoming rough, for all roughness, pushing and pulling, counts against her team. Rather than muscular strength, a good player needs accuracy and swiftness. The best player is the one who is quickest and most care- ful. At the beginning of this year a number of teams were formed, so that almost every girl in the school could play. At first the teams did not differ very much in skill. But on the field there was great rivalry between them and soon some excelled others. Each girl was loyal to her team, and every afternoon at her captain's call went out to the field for practice and faithfully did her part in trying to make her team the best. Even after snow began to fall, girls in blue suits might be seen out practicing for the final games. A new custom was instituted this year-the presentation of a silver cup to the champion basket ball team. With this reward in view more interest was taken in the game than ever before, and as a result a few teams became very skillful in passing and defending the ball. The Invincibles and the Eclipse were soon recognized as the strongest. They were victorious in the contest until the very last day, when, of course, it would be decided which should win the Blair Hall champion basket ball cup. The 'final game was very exciting. The benches at the side of the grounds were filled with interested spectators who clapped and cheered, now for one team, now for the other, while tl1e players ran from side to side on the field, made swift passes and threw difficult goals. At the end of the Hrst half the Eclipse had two goals more than their opponents, but when the game was over the Invincibles had won by two points. With appropriate ceremony, the silver cup was presented by the Principal to their captain. When the football and basket ball season is over, the captain of a football team which has broken a school record, hardly out- shines the captain of the champion basket ball team. All the girls settle down to their winter's work and study, happier, healthier and stronger than they would be had they not played basket ball. THE SWIMMING POOL I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII VIII. IX.

How many hundreds and hundreds of pairs of feet have traveled over you? In the autumn new students have stepped along your floor for the first time and have thought What a queer old bridge! In the winter boys have run across you as fast as they could go, throwing snowballs all the way. In the springtime girls saunter along and pick the flowers in the meadow beneath you. Every day in the year the mail-man faithfully carries his burden over you to the station. Almost every afternoon both girls and boys, both men and women, may be seen going to and fro on their errands of pleasure or of necessity. No doubt, on warm summer evenings, little groups have stood and looked at the moonlight shining in the water beneath you and have told one another secrets that you have heard but will never repeat. What could you not tell us if only you. would speak, old foot bridge ? Gwentrg Mears Elfter Q CApologies to A. Dumas perej T seems nothing extraordinary to us, in this year of I924, to step into our airships for a journey. It was but fifteen years ago that the aeroplane was invented by M. Voler, who to a great extent solved the problem of aeronautics. Remarkable progress in the science was shown by his construction of L'Oiseau, a machine that to-day navigates the air with the nirnbleness of a bird. I had been a year, following my graduation from college, with the Rogers Mineral Co. of New York, when I was sent to Swiss- dale, N. J. to examine a stone believed to contain gold, The idea of gold in New Jersey! I might with equal propriety have been sent to the Dismal Swamp for walrus. As I settled myself in a train out of New York, I casually drew out a newspaper and began to read. By chance my eyes fell upon this heading: VOLER THE AERONAUT DISAPPEARS SOME SUSPECT SUICIDE I was so attracted by this article that I re-read it, and I had been in the country but two weeks when an adventure, which proved the statement of M. Vo1er's death false, occurred. I went every evening to an old cabin near the rock where I worked till early morn. One night I arrived there about ro o'clock. I worked till 4 A. M. making various experiments to assure myself of the nature of the specimen. I was conlirrned in the belief that the rock was not auriferous. As I stepped outside to get a breath of fresh air my eye was attracted to a star brighter than all others. As I viewed the star I saw it was actually approaching and increasing in bright- ness. As it came nearer its appearance ceased to be that of a star and became that of a floating windmill. Suddenly I realized that it was an airship. Even as I gazed it alighted, the door opened, a man came out and looked at me. Ah, said he, this is a pleasure unsought 5 whom do I see? Bertul's my name, sir, and I am an assayer temporarily en- gaged here. Are you the famous aeronaut ? Yes, I am M. Voler. Are you going to say anything about this meeting? ' Not if you don't wish itf' I don't 5 but have you read of my airship's destruction ? I nodded. while he continued: I might as well tell you all. Naturally everybody believed I had destroyed L'Oiseau. You see it before you. I planned the experiment of sailing across the ocean and desired it to be unknown. To throw the people oif guard, I burnt a quantity of old rubber, and at midnight whirled away, leav- ing the impression that the ship had gone up in smoke. Last night I was in Ohiog to-night I am here. I travel by day and by night. Perhaps you would like a journey? I readily assented, having completed my investigation, and was quickly aboard. M. Voler turnedalever and webegan to riserapiclly. A glance below showed me that we were travelling faster than the swiftest express train. I actually gasped for breath. The lights of different cities below twinkled like the stars above, and all seemed a fleeting panorama. While I was thus gazing I suggested to the Professor that he direct his machine to the Blair Academy. A moment later I saw we were actually headed for the standpipe back of Blair Hall. I expressed my apprehension that we were about to collide with the water-tank, but the Professor assured me that he proposed to alight upon that very object, and added that he had so perfected the dirigibility of his machine as to be able to perch upon a gatefpost or a fence-stake at will. The Acdemy's appearance seemed changed and there were no familiar faces. While I was admiring the wonderful improvements some one familiarly tapped me on the shoulder and said, Why, Bertul, is it you ? Yes, sir, it is I. This was Mr. Freeman, who explained all the new improve- ments, and as he always kept in touch with the alumni, soon he di- rected the conversation to that subject. Well, he began, you remember Westervelt? He is a Professor. You probably know White is President of the S. X. B. W. 8L Z. Indeed, he used to deliver declamations in school all along that line. Meloney was associated with 'Spike,' so I take it he is also a railroaderf' Mr. Umberger has become a physician, and Greene and joy are doctoring some poor people with good wholesome sermons every Sunday. Bentley and Case are in the powder businessf' I knew they would beg they always liked to blow. Miss Hires is an agent for the Victor Talking Machine Co. and Miss Porter is a journalist. Isn't it strange, her brother is also a re-Porter? I saw in a catalog of books that Given is the author of a geometery which he claims is superior to all others. We expected as much. Yes, he always did look clown on other writers. Dick Mann is withaprofessional baseball team, and Bockoven is in the same lield. Miss Hedrick is writing on the ' The Negro as our Brother' in a magazine established by Reading. Ah! yes, Charlie always possessed true literary qualities. I understand he was born reading, Thus our conversation proceeded until the entire class was accounted tor. Miss Potter had become a French scholar, while Miss Bennett had a degree in Latin: Bryan was a lawyerg Villie and Springer were electrical engineersg Billy 'i Overton was in the animal businessg Misses Frisbie, Fuller, Craig, Smith, and Hull were school teachers: Miss England was debating on Woman's Suffrage, ever showing The Patriotism of a Woman 3 Mr. Brown was an artist, and somehow brown is his favorite colorg Conant entered Wall Street, and is now a prominent financierg Miss Thomas had proved a skilled pianistg but still Miss Cook remains a Cook, and Miss Case a Case. M. Voler, having appeared at this point, seemed anxious to be off, and asked'me to state whither he might next direct his ma- chine. I was pleased to suggest that he carry me to New York, as I desired to inform Mr. Rogers of the result of my investigations. As we scrambled up the ladder of the standpipe it seemed sad to think of all old landmarks goneg but no! there was a puH' of smoke, and bel1old! the Dinkey slowly wending her way in the distance to Delaware. Twenty minutes later I interviewed Mr. Rogers. Upon his evincing disappointment in the specimen, the Professor remarked in his own peculiar tongue, Ybul ce gui reluil n'es! pas d'or.
