.XLICE M. ALVEY. .-Xlice was born in Brilliant, where she has always resided. She has received ber entire training in our little village, and we are justly proud of her. She is one of our most persevering young people, so we ex- pect great things of her in the future. VVe give her our best wishes as she goes forth to Mingo junction to take up the High School work there. ULDENE VERMILLION. Uldene was born in Smirhtield, Ohio, and has been in school both there and at Brilliant. She is a social favorite in and about Brilliant: the girls say it is be- cause she is not so well known as they who have spent all their life about our little town. The boys, however, claim to have a different reason. At any rate she ought to be well known, but if you are not so fortunate as to know her, call in person at the postotiice for your mail, and you will meet her in the person of the postoftice clerk. She entered Mingo Junction High School in September to complete her lirst grade education. ROBERT R.i FAULKNER. Robert, better known as Dick or Bush, was born at lfVarren, lnd. For a while he attended school at that place and later came to Brilliant: from here he went to Mingo, but later returned to us. He is ot' an athletic nature and a jovial companion, as he can create enough amusement to arouse all his associates in a very short time. Let those of us who have known him in school remember him as: Robert Xvilmuth Richard Edward Bushnell Faulkner, and that barring none he is our lightweight pugilistic champion. EMMA E. HALL. Emma was born at Rush Run, Ohio, where she still resides. She attended school at Blues Run, Rush Run, and Brilliant. For four years she has been a teacher, having given her services for four mouths at Connor- ville, and four at Turkey Point, and three years at Rush Run. She is teaching this year at Hopewell.

'sr 1 Gllaaa Liiatnrg N THE autumn of 1913 the choice material of all llrilliaut gathered at the school house to take up the studies of a secondary curriculum. This class consisted of but two members, Alice Alvey and Jessie Cope. The class early promised great things and so eagerly did they apply themselves toward the accomplishment of these promises that our beloved teacher, Mr. R. li. Shoolroy, was unable to stand the strain, and as the third school month drew to a close, hc was compelled to resign his position and take treatment for his health. Mr. James L. Doran was the11 called to take charge of us, and so much infatuated with the pupils was he that he held school over until the middle of June in order that he might not be compelled to part with us for so long a time during the summer vacation. . Wlithin the time of our stay many humorous incidents occurred, among which permit us to mention the time Alice .-Xlvey was imprisoned in the basement and the remainder of the pupils sat upon the door and cracked jokes. ln a short time, however, Mr. Doran came to the window and was just about to empty a pail of water when he happened to notice the pupils assembled beneath, so he gave the warning of Lookout Below! whereupon the pupils dispersed. Mr. Doran then proceeded to empty the contents of the pail. but just as the column of water had in its descent about reached the door. Alice became aware of the fact that she might make her exit from the basement, so she raised the door and stepped forth into such a deluge as she had never known before. Another incident of this year that perhaps we should remember was that Jessie Cope became a nurse to the injuries received by Mr. Doran as a result of his awkwardness. How she did administer to the wound received that second morning he was in our midst no one but he himself can tell. How grateful he was to his beneficiary no tongue could tell. llut the injuries had their mission in his life, for he has learned the lesson that running after a street car is like run- ning after a girl-you might as well wait, for there will be another along in a few minutes. It was also during this year that Frank Derenberg was seen walking down the street, and not fifty yards behind him Jessie was seen running, unconscious of whom she was following, or that she was following anyone. One of her schoolmates. seeing this amusing incident, called to 'her and asked where she was going, whereupon she replied that she was chasing an algebra book. However she may have meant the expression, we know that it has become true just as it sounded. for as the term drew to a close she showed she was able to 'icopen with the situation and consequently chose to discontinue 'her school work and married the gentleman she was pursuing. As the school reassembled in the fall of 1914. Robert Faulkner returned from Mingo to resume the work at llrilliant. for he had learned that the only reason the pupils went from our midst was for the showing they thought it made to attend a city school.
