Already the students have decided on trips to various industrial plants, to learn the application of chemistry at first hand. At least two trips will be made before the end of the present year. A constitution has been drawn up and the students of the present chemistry classes are quite fortunate in being charter members of the newest club in B. H. S. ALICE DALZELL, ,2I.

Rrfortcr During the past year the membership of the Spanish Club has almost doubled. It is now one of the High School's social clubs, hav- ing for rivals the Latin and French clubs. .Xt the regular monthly meetings this year the cus- toms and interesting bits of information concerning Mex- ico, Panama, Guatemala and Costa Rica have been dis- cussed. A tall: on a different Latin-American country at each meeting is being planned for next year. .PX party of ten from the Spanish Club made a trip to New Yorlc in February, attending the Spanish Church and visiting the Spanish Museum on the Huntington Foundation. The collection of antiques in this museum is unsurpassed by any one museum in Spain. 'llhe Club has also bought a set of 36 Spanish phono- graph records. which will aid the pupils in their study of Spanish. Members of the Club are learning several national anthems of Latin-American countries. It may be that there is a surprise in store for the school.

Viva! la constitucion. t'llranslation by Senior Classj He wha wishes to be free may learn that, In Spain there is a people and a lcing, I Jne devises the laws for the country, The second enforcing them all.

Our Colors She spoke of the two gay colors True Bloomfield hearts all prizeg Red, the hue of her two sweet lips, And Gray, like her sparkling eyes, And she asked me as she toyed with The ribbons on her breast, XYhich I thought the leading color And which I liked the best. Well, I said, Uthe combination, Is what we all admire, But perhaps red's the chief one, The color of blood and fire. Cold gray is like a background, As the sky is to the sung It is the red that has inspired us In all our victories won. Gray, like the mists of evening, NVould cover our retreat, In case-Oh, I-leaven defend us!- Vlfe should ever meet defeat. The Gray is a beautiful setting, But wherever we may be led, I hope I will always follow Its brighter partner, Red. VVith that sweet maid one summer night, I sat 'neath starlit skies, We spoke no more of colors, Save those of hair and eyes. lfVhen I asked her if I might kiss her, Her sweet red lips said, Nay,l' But her clear gray eyes spoke otherwise- THAT time I followed Gray! A. E. XV., '2I. 30 I., .,,.,,. I 1. Pop the Question I took her rowing on the lake, She vowed she'd go no more, I asked her why-her answer came: 'fYou only hugged the shore. I took her hand in mine and said: May I the question pop ?,' She coyly bent her pretty head: You'd better question Pop. H. S. S., ,2T. Did You Ever? A famous Philosopher has said that nothing is im- possible, but did you ever try: To-skip a gym period and get away with it? To-pass a test by studying the night before? To-convince Mr. Lawrence that you weren't late. To-talk in Miss Crissey's study? To-change your sneaks and get to study hall in three minutes flat? To-tell a Freshman something? To-look cheerful when you flunk a final? To-do your Spanish or Latin in one study period? To-take a subject with more than one conflict? To-make up a good excuse of why you were late? Did Ia? It can't be done. 'J C. A. J., ,2I.
