It does not pretend to be of the highest elite. But it has lent it labors willingly and the amount of its aggregate work has to be measured in several thousands of foot-pounds. In many ways this staff represents the hardest working and boosting element in the school. It has always boosted, and very probably always will Boosting hit become n habit with these people. They are a part of the best part of the Senior cla� - The only reason that the rest of the class was not on the Staff was that it was all very busy boosting in other way a. This is a picture of t wenly-six boosters.

When A Body’s Gotter BY NINETTA ILLINC WORTH, ‘.'A Saturday Evening Past! Saturday Evening Post! All day the cry had sounded up and down the crowded streets of busiest Chicago. It.- monotony was varied only by the |uality of emphasis and reflection, rising and urgent as Sbocky undtK grew instantly alert when n possible customer hailed in sight, or again dropping back to the recurring regularity of the trade cry which placed the emphasis on the second word, and died away with n falling inflection on the last.

With a bright sweet day in June. When the humming bees go buzzing idly by! When the fields are running over With the rich perfume of clover. And the golden hours of morning soon flit by. When the world seems younger, brighter. And the heart is free and lighter With the joy of life and love—we know not why. And the Joy thnt June-time brings Like a lark, in hearts it sings. Smg' of freedom, love, and joy. both deep and high. So well enjoy it while we're going.

You anil Owen come over tomorrow morning, and We will get the young folks acquainted. So the two old match-makers talked on until the nun had risen and the court-house of Bloomington ram - into sight. After “putting up their team in a livery stable, they walked up town. Stopping in front of the olllce of the Daily Telephone. they read the following bulletin: The center of population of the I’nited States will doubtless be definitely located in the next few days. Prof. Cogs hull says It will probably be on either the Paites or Peering farm, seven miles north-east of town • ••••• Merton Paite was a wealthy old widower � ii� « child. Imogen� -, had been attending school in Chicago Sh. was through now. and coming home—back to dad. Paites’ cup of happiness was almost full; and an alliance between Imogen and Owen Deering would make it overflow. Sunday dinner found Imogen at the head of her fath- er's table again. During the first part of the meal she chatted gaily about her school life, her friends in Chicago, the centre of population—and about dear Percy: she must write to him immediately.

THE CENTER OK POPU.ATIO.N— oniinued After dinner they prepared for the visit. Owen went up to hts room nnd wrote n long letter to his cousin Dolly, who was attendins Vnsu ar. Part of it ran as follows: •‘And he actually thinks 1 will marry her. I bet she’ • beauty—probably never been out of the county. For mercy’s sake. Dolly, don't tell Clonic or Hatel or any of the girls about it—' Then he dressed for the visit, but he looked as if he were going to a masquerade ball rather than a wooing. When left alone together. Owen nnd Imogcne sat very demurely in opposite comers of the mom. Their opinion of each other can be conjectured. When the two old fann- ers went into the parlor they found Imogene deeply inter- ested (?) in � farm journal, and Owen reading the Bible. Great was the excitement of the next few days over the center of population. Both Paites and Peering were eager, almost anxious for the honor. So when at last, a few day - later, the exact spot was thought to be on Paites' farm tin friendly feeling between the two was greatly diminished. Whether this was caused by Paites boasting was not known: nevertheless the break was complete when, two days later. Pmf. Cogshall ehangi-d his mind, ami declarer! the center to be on Deering's farm. The two men actually quarreled. Farmer Paites was in a great rage. He forbade his daughter to even look at Owen Peering. And the latter received similar instructions from his father. Were tile children glad? A few days later, as Imogene was driving home from Bloomington, a wheel came off her buggy and she was thrown to the ground. She found she could walk only with pam. She saw u buggy coming down the road, and when it was nenrvr she observed a stylish looking young man in it. Mis Paites! he exclaimed. Can it be possible—is this—I thought— Mr. Peering! she interrupted. I hardly recognized you. Sunday you looked so—” she broke off. confusedly, blushing. But let’s see what’s the matter here. A wreck, eh? Art- you hurt? Lot me take you home in my buggy.” He carried her to his carriage and set her down tenderly. The drive home was exceedingly pleasant and exaspernting- ly short. The sudden mutual affection generated was aston- ishing’ They talked of their college life, their parents.— and of themselves. When they reached her home Mr. Paites rushed out to the buggy, and learning the trouble, lifted Imogene out Ho looked savagely at Owen and for- bade him to leave the buggy. But father.” protested Imogene. Mr. Peering— But the irascible old man carried her away as fast as he could. As they went through the gate. Imogene looked buck and dropped her handkerchief. Owen jumped out. got it. and drove off. They met twice in the following two days. Oncewas at the home of a mutual friendin Bloomington. The next day, Sunday, they were with a crowd of young people who walked out to Arbutus Hill. The mutual affection fast ripened into-----. One morning a week Inter.

A musicale. given at the First Presbyterian church, on January 30th, was one of the year's features in the music line. The proceeds, fifty- six dollars, went half to the Glee Club and half to the school paper. The entertainment showed that the Glee Club is a recreational as well as money-making organization. The daily rehearsals of the Glee Club, or. more often, the rehearsals on alternate days, are sources of rest and balm of spirits to the tortured classes that are still in the building at the fourth period. The Glee Club has several old favorites, chief among which is The Gingerbread Man.” always welcome whenever the Glee Club is ready.

H. S. in years. Although the boys had no previous experience in high school athlet- ics, they developed into one of the best teams in the state. Much credit is due to Maurice Judd, whose coaching was of the finest sort, and whose- slogan fight was contagious The excellent spirit shown by student laxly and faculty was «Iso on asset. The season was started with two easy victories over Bedford. C. Moore, Miller and Johnston formed a perfect scoring machine, while the former and Reed and O'Harrow guarded in true Pat Page fashion. Capt. Roger� «tarred in the second game. On February 27. the boys were de- feated at Salem, and on Saturday. February 22, were de- feated again at I.afavette. Foreign ll « r played havoc with the teamwork that had marked the two previous games. Jetr Moore was declared ineligible just before the tournament, so Johnston was shifted from guard to forward, and E. Moore was groomed for the guard posi- tion. Our first game in the tournament was with Oaklandon, resulting in a victory for B. H. S. The second game was with the strong Crawfords ville five. Although in the lead 7-0 at the end of the first half, the boys were defeated by the «core of 20-12. Capt. Rogers played in whirlwind style during the .series, and was awarded a position on the state honor-roll. The team wa.-. a five-man team, every man playing his share nf the game and no one standing out above the others. Capt.

The Book usually .stands for itself. It can be its own best friend or its own worst enemy. We hope that our will behave well toward itself To the Seniors the Gothic Is primarily obliged for its being. They have given of their brain-, their time, their money, and of every- thing that is theirs. To others who have aided us in many ways, and particularly to the artists of the Staff, our deep- est and sincereHt thanks You have helped us We hope that the Gothic of 1918 will mean u 1 much to all of you as it does t.. us; for u- it 1� the finish of a book; to you, perhaps, the mere end of a chapter. It is yours from the Senior . It will be the finest of compliments to the makers ofthe Gothic, if by it you remembortho class that mothered it. BUNG EXCLUSIVE AGENTS TOR THE EASTMAN KODAK CO.
