He is rather fond of displaying his skill as an artist. Max has played the slide trombone in the High School band for several years. RUSSELL BROOKS Bird is a quiet chap who usually minds his own business. He has not been very prominent in athletics this year. Yet he proved himself to be an eifective hacksrop for the base ball nine. Russell will probably be- come one of the greatest fruit growers of Northern indiana. LENA' HOFFMAN Lena is one of those persons of a more serious nature. She is quiet and sedate, giv- ing close heed to those things that pertain to her own interests. She, is interested in the welfare of B. H. S. and one of its loyal supporters. ESTHER HOFFMAN One of the demure maidens of the class is Esther. She always seems to have her les- sons prepared, yet she never makes a display. She is not immune from fun, and enjoys a good pratical joke. GEORGE ATKINS George is a special favorite among the girls, He is fond of sport. He is always a hard worker in school, which has won him fa- vor with the faculty. Bill could always get goals when goals, were needed. As business manager he proved his ability also to get ads. RONALD FISCHER Ronald was editor-in-chief of the Annual, Secretary of the class President of the Athletic Association, and one of the guards on the basket ball quintet. ln fact it would have been impossible for the 1915 s to have gotten on without a Fischer. Ronald will lit himself for a scientific farmer. r-Q L . .T rw.- WALTER ROWE Doc Xice President of our class, is the basket ball star.

She is a favorite among her fellow- students, and a loyal lgooster for B. H. S. AS jol-'e editor ot' this paper she has shown her skill in ferreting out all of the humorous events of the school year. She is quiet, fludious and fun-loving. Veda will teach school. Q .A 1 U 4 .MABLE RI-IINE ltlable is quiet and unassuming in her ways. but she is a hard worker. Dolly seems to be pursued by a demon of barl luck, which we sincerely hope some day will leave her. She mas always loyal to B. H. S. RAY ZIGLER Ray is one of the 'I5's. lic has left his mark while in B: H. S. as a thorough-going student. His strongest point is always to respond when called upon. Ray will probably go to collegep A ELIZABETH BERTCH Libby has entered freely into the school activities of the year. There is not a more loyal booster for E. H. S. than Elizabeth. She has the happy faculty of taking a great in- terest in the welfare of her fellow-students. CHARLES McMULLEN Chuck is a hard worker in school or at play. He has been interested in basket ball and held a position as sub on the team this year. Ile worked faithfully to keep up the team's previous record. LESLIE WAGNER ' Leslie is the Shylock of the class. He keeps his purse filled with ducats until a cull comes for a draw upon the treasury. He is also the Class Orator He h s- taken part in county contests. Leslie is a hard uorl er 'md vie expect to hear of him later. CLASS PROPI-IECY By Chas. O. McMullen DREAM. A hard physic's lesson to get and it's late too. And I am so sleepy. Believe I will turn the light lower, it hurts my eyes. Vifhere in the world am I? I gazed in be- wilderment at my surroundings-broad, well paved streets. bordered along and enclosed by large stately buildings. VVhere ani I? This I addressed to a newsboy who happened in my direction. I-Ie evidently didn't hear me for he continued to shout some- thing about his paper. I purchased a copy and glancing at the headline I was surprised to see f'IIristol Daily Banner, March 4, IQ25.U Wlhy at Dear Old Bristol! I must certainly take a look at the old place of my high school days. I walked down one street, then up another, The farther I went the greater was my surprise. Instead of wooden buildings, once found on Main street. magnificent ones of iron, brick and cement claimed a site there. On stopping to admire a huge structure made from cement blocks, I was accosted by a young gentleman dressed in the latest style and fashion. On taking a close look I recognized Vvalter Rowe. W'altcr said he was just back from the south where he was working as a civil engineer. I-Ie also mentioned the fact that the structure I had been gazing at was his father's office building. In finishing my tour of inspection I passed a' huge brick building evidently from its shape a school house. IValter's glowing account of his achievements lfindled in me a desire to hear what some of my friends were doing. I instantly decided to hunt up Leslie VVagner. Acting on the impulse of the moment I took the first car for Zion. On alight- ing at that place I inquired concerning my friend but was informed he had not been seen in that locality for many a day. I was just ready to give up my quest when upon turning around I beheld Elizabeth Rertch, Libby was home on a visit and desired nothing better than a talk. She told of Mabel Rine's active work as a foreign missionary, and about the wonderful products Lena Hoffman had been able to bring forth at the helm of a dairy farm. I inquired if she ever heard anything about Estella King. 'KVVhy sure. she said, haven't you been watch- ing the papers? Wfhv Estella., married a titled foreignor. a great musician and a prince. , Libby seemed verv glad to aid me bv giving information concerning the others of the class. Elizabeth stated in a few brief words that she was a sufiragette, working to uplift her down trorlrlen sisters. But von haven't heard the latest. Something that really happened a couple of years ago. Les- ,,......u.L.... .....g..-. . ..., .. ,,. A.- lie VVagner and Esther Hoffman eloped. They settled in a western town. Leslie taught school and Esther worked as a stenographer, an occupa- tion she had taken up shortly after graduation from high school. Now they are well on the road to wealth and prosperity. Libby by this time had exhausted her news and it was about car time. So thanking her for her valuable information I departed for the station. Xvhen in town I took the first car for the school house. On entering the car I beheld the athelic form of no other but Ronald Fischer. He told me that he was at the head of the Foresty Depart- ment of Indiana. On alighting, I hustled to enter the building. I was desirous of seeing the interior of the place that was so much finer on the out side than the one in which we were compelled to freeze in our education. I made straight for the office. The Voice sounded familiar that issued from that sacred altar of justice. On beholding the one who dealt the decisions I saw no other than my old class mate Veda Garman. After greetings had been exchanged I asked her to inform me of the whereabouts of Russell Brooks. She seemed at first unable to perceive who I meant. Then suddenly her face brightened. Oh! you- mean Mr. Iirooks, who graduated with our class. IVe seldom hear his name spoken like that: had almost forgotten it. He is universally known as Professor Brooks. the horticulturist and nursery- in'-n. I inquired concerning his home and was informed it was known as the Judson Sz Brooks fruit farm. XN'here is Max Merritt and George Atkins I finallv asked? Max, she said. shortlv returned from an eytensive tour of the world on the bumpers of freights and blind baggage. Max is for thc present running an auto route between town and Ilonnvville. I do not know how that will ter- minate. . George Atkins is not in Bristol very much: his business requires his presence away, although he has a summer home on the north east shore of Baldwin Lakef, I thanked Veda for her information and pro- ceeded in mv quest. Hardly had I touched the side-walk when I met Samuel Zeigler. I-Ie in- formed me that Ray was playing the part of lead- ing mrnet in a traveling hand. As I felt the time was limited, I was compelled to leave Sam telling of the achievements of his son. Charles! Charles! It's bedtime. suddenly broke in upon my ears. My visions cleared and I realized I must bluff in Physics for tomorrow. w..T' ' JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY At the beginning of the school year of 1912-I3 the present junior Class began the delightful High School life which they have enjoyed ever since. As we tiled into the large assembly room on the first day of the term, we were hailed as green freshies by the upper classes, who now claimed they had lost this glaring color so belit- ing to beginners, and indeed we were some fresh. XiVhen the roll was called we found that we numbered twenty-three as class, Mr. Snapp our the term was the contest held in Algebra and the dinner that followed. Ask Mr. Snapp and Mr. Shamory what we had to eat. Our class had now dwindled down to fifteen but those who remained stuck to our motto. Never, O Never Say Fail, and by hard labor succeeded in commencing the second term as Hfteen jubilant Sophomores. Wie believe in school spirit, and in our Sophomore year to show our class spirit we decided to give a class .play but our schoolmates, especially the THE JUNIOR CLASS superintendent at that time, gave us some good advice to follow in our high school career. The second week of school we were given a reception by the other members of the high school and although some of us were very timid in seeking our partners to eat refreshments with, yet we came out unharmed and had gained a great in- liuence in the society of the dignified Senior Class, especially some of our memberfsj. XVe organized as a class several months later with Bessie Congdon, presidentg Vera King. vice- president. and Everett Swayne secretary and treasurer. One of the interesting feats during juniors, so envied us that we were compelled to drop it. VVe have always been well represented in boys athletics as well as the girls. As a Junior Class we have been reduced to the evenly balanced number of twelve, six boys and six girls. XVe are now absorbing all the dignity and iinery of the Senior Class and are anxiously looking forward to the time when we may Call ourselves Seniors. Maroon and Wfhite Maroon and Xvhite Stands for right And the Class of '16, JUNIOR BANQUET The annual banquet which is given to the seniors at the close of their High School career seemed to be the biggest event which had occur- red in our High School life up to that time. Nlfe. the class of IQI5, can look back upon that night as one of the most enjoyable evenings that we have ever spent. It was the last time that the class met with the faculty which has never re- turned to B. H. S. They were Professor and Mrs. Snapp. Miss Jessica Reid, Mr. Shamory and Mr. Sunthimer. A four course dinner was served and seemed to be enjoyed by all. Professor K. M. Snapp was toast master, which means that we all had a good time, for he always had a joke ready for each and every one ofhus. THE ATHLETIC Toasts were given by the faculty and also by several members of each class. It was some- thing different than we as Juniors had ever be- fore experienced, and to say that we enjoyed the fruits of our labor hardly expresses our ecstasy over the outcome of the aifair. The'Junior Banquet this year to be given by the class of 1916, will be held on Friday evening April 16, 1915 in the High School Building. Miss Lehman who has had charge of the Domestic Science this year will assist the Junior class in making arrangements. Mr. Oesch will act as toast master and the following will respond: Bessie Condgon, Harry Kulp, Vtlinslow Clark. Chas. McMullen, George Atkins, Estella King. ASSOCIATIGN The Athletic Association was organized in 1913 with a membership of about twenty, but it has grown until now every high school student is a member. As iis the case of all associations some members are more enthusiastic than others, but taken as a whole, good spirit is shown. This latter fact is in part due to this year's capable officers who are as follows: Ronald Fischer, president: Everett Swayne, secretary and treas- urer, Bessie Congdon. girl's yell leader, and Max Merritt, boys' yell leader. Our expenses have been unusually heavy this year but by skillful management and economy we have closed the year with about twenty-five dol- t - -- --Y W .,,...4:.za....., lars in the treasury. This will be suiiicient to give the Association a good start next term. So let's all give Three Cheers for the Associa- tion and its good work. OUR REPLY TO PENNANT Although we realize that Elkhart High School has had one of the strongest basket ball teams in the Northern Indiana Association this season, they cannot lay claims to the championship until they have played the best team. The B. H. S. live has tried for two years to secure games with E. H. S. but has been unable to do so-I wonder v r w ln . A, ,BQ-L. -nga, . .- SOPHOMORE CLASS .XVe. the prospective seniors of nineteen seven- teen, reviewing our past career, do not boast of any daring feats carried out by us. In fact from our first entrance we have been known as a rather modest class. - After many idle conjectures as to the customs and manner of living within those four envied walls of B. H. S. we at last, in the fall of nineteen fourteen, found ourselves stranded there friend- less and homesick. The bitt-er heartaches and trials of our Freshman career are too heartrend- ing and touching to relate. It seems that we were typical Freshmen. Anyway we ourselves had come to realize the true meaning of Fresh- characters we were glad to pass on and leave these few words of consolation to our successors: It's a sweet thing to be a Freshie, lt's a sweet thing we knowg It's a sweet thing to be a Freshie, lt's the sweetest thing we knowt?j. But: Good-bye dear old Freshmen, Farewell Freshies fair, 'lialces a long. long time to be a Senior. But our heart's right there. VX-'hen we entered this year as Sophmores we numbered eighteen. VVe chose our officers at the beginning of the term, which were as follows: 'l I THE SOPHOMORE CLASS men. Even a smile from an old veteran-a senior4seemed an oasis in a desert to us. The very word Freshmen brings visions of our awful loneliness and many hardships during our pioneer life. Our class, however, is the first one which organized in the Freshman year. Our pre idetit. secretary and treasurer were chosen and served their term admirably. Most of the class meet- ings called during that year dealt wih the sub- ject of Our Pennant but talking seemed to have 'no effect and we were well launched in our 'Sophomore year before we could look up. behold it, silently gazing in awe at our misdemeanors. Although we feel that this year with its many trials laid the foundation for some good. rugged Donovan Fischer, president: Mabel Bordner, vice-president: Eunice McCaul, secretary and lllisie Spencer. treasurer. As we grow older we find ourselves gradually expanding into broader thinking and living. Wie have come out of our old shell and have livened up considerably during this school year. A number of our classmen have manifested a great interest in the Athletics of the high school this year and we predict for a few of them a brilliant future as Basket Ball Stars. And now at the close of our Sophomore year we can only say that as a class we have tried our best to show the proper school spirit in all of our iuidertakings. both socially and intellectually, and hope next year to be worthy the name of a junior.

Hayes, Harold Sullivan, Suneriutendent K. M. Snapp, Mazie Hermauce and Byron Ganger, which succeceded in bringing to the Association pictures of every possible phase of school life. Richard Lake was appointed chairman of the business session, in which it was decided to ex- tend membership to Mr. Snapp and to Mr. Shamory in appreciation of their splendid ser- vices as members of the Faculty: also. member- ship was extended to members of the class of ISQQ who did not receive diplomas.

Nineteen still re- main-quite good for a first year record. life missed the pleasure of hazing this year fnot saying that we felt badj aside from being accused of and tried for such dangerous maladies as greenness, dippiness, etc., etc., etc. But we are willing to match our Working order against theirs. Did it bother us? Oh no! Green pas- tures are a relief beside the dull salt chalk atmos- phere that smothers their senses. The officers this year were: Russell E. Flaish- ans, president: Mary E. Alter, vice president: Elsie M. Bardo, secretary: Leonard H. Dagger- Maude Herrold, treasurerg Hon. Arnold Cong- don, deputy. Wie were unfortunate in losing one of our olii- cers before the year was Hnished. NVe have secured our pennant in the Freshman year-somewhat a progressive event. As to being the best class in the ring we are tired of comparing virtues and faults. just calcu- late upon a few big points, like a wise man. For instance we are veryt?j studious-anyway we demolished a few books-and naturally we know how to have as much fun as anyone, and-there is no room for any more. The upper class men have an angelic manner of smiling at pranks fthey never played anyj but who ever saw a hopeless bachelor who would not smile at a married man just because he could not be married too? Seriously, however, on the whole we have had a good, enjoyable year for both fun and study. But of course next year will be better, because- ' If sheep will bleat, If grand aunts will scowl. lf jilted prancl dads will fume: If pigs will eat. lf pups vrill howl, XfVl1y won't B. H. S. boom? THE F RESHMAN CLASS FRESHMAN RECEPTION. The third annual reception given to the Fresh- man class was held Sept. 18. 1914, by the three senior classes of Bristol High School. This reception was the first annual entertainment given by the Bristol High School which seemed to prove very satisfactory in gaining the acquaint- anceship of all the classes. The time was especially exciting to see some of those Fresh- men rush over on the Senior side of the room to hunt their partners, while others were too bash- ful and remained in their seats. After this ex- citementnwas overcome, refreshments were served which seemed to be greatly enjoyed by all. a RESPONSE A return reception was given by the Freslnnani Class on March 31, 1915, in response to the one given them on Sept. 18, 1914. Ice cream and cookies were indulged in and greatly enjoyed by the pupils who found their partners by the use of slips of paper given them by the Freshman boys. This reception was a decided compliment to the talent and judgment of the Freshies who have shown themselves to be a prospective class in supporting the different high school functions. This reception was no exception to the other good entertainments that have been given by this class. l l V- l l - k l SOCIAL AFFAIRS Lectures Rev. Walter A. Hoffman, who during the winter months was conducting revival services at the M. E. church. this city. gave a most interesting and appropriate talk to the students of Bristol High School, using as his subject, Habits Rev. C. B. Croxall of the M. E. church. did justice to his oratorical powers in delivering a well arranged article pertaining to the war. Mr. Myron Hilbish also favored us with a most interesting talk on Character, in which he showed the true worth of character to a man, in his dealings with both the bank and the indi- viduals of the world. Mr. H. W. Kantz, our present trustee, showed his good qualities as a speaker in an unusually well prepared paper on Courts, which he pre- sented to the graduating class in connection with their course in Civics. Rev. H. S. Streeter, of the Episcopal church, followed up and developed further his most in- teresting talk of last year on Qualifications for the Ministry. . . . ' DOMESTIC SCIENCE BANQUET. On the evening of December twentieth the Domestic Science class, of liritsol High School, served a three course dinner at. six otlock to the members of the Advisory lloard, the Superin- tendent, Janitor. Trustee and their wives, the County Superintendent and the Domestic Science instructoress. 1 The table was preftily decorated with two boquets of red Carnations, each vase consisting of six flowers with fern leaves.-the latter also being placed on the table around the vases. The first course consisted of creamiof Tomato soup. served by Mary Alterg and croutons served by Estella King. ., -' The second course consisted of chicken and dressing, served by Esther Zeigler. Ruth Calvin. Elizabeth llertch and Dorris Merritt. The third course consisted of coffee, served by lfstella King, peaches and cream with nuts. served by Elsie liardo, and cake by Dotfris Merritt. After dinner mints were also passed. The following members 'were present besides the class: County Supt. A. E. Vlieaver. Trustee and Mrs. L. A. Congdon, Dr. and Mrs. Earl Mer- ritt and Mr. and Mrs. Clark Barney. Miss Leh- man. Mr. Dausman, Mr. Driver and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Ganger. The following people gave toasts: Mr, Barney. Mr. Merritt. Prof. Driver. Mr. Congdon, Mr. Ganger and County Supt. llfeaver who gave Z1 short talk on Domestic Science. The class was successful in their first attempt of this kind and look forward to more of the same, under the excellent supervision of Miss Lehman. H MR. OESCH ENTERTAINS SENIORS The Senior Class members were entertained at the home-of Mr. Oesch. Friday evening, April Q, and experienced a very pleasant evening. Dinner was served at 8 oelock. RESOLVED a That it would be possible to take the greater from the less, a seemingly impossible task, by tal-'ing the conceit from the Freshman class. That the Janitor has our permission to use the junior pennant to wash the school windows, in- asmuch as we believe that the jr. class would not be able to detect any serious change in the color of said pennant. if it should be done. That A. Dentler should not make such a face. lt attracts so many girls' attention. fOr is it his fault Pl That from now on. 'Freslnnen weighing less than twenty-five pounds will not be permitted to enter ll. H. S. ffly Mr. Troyer.l That the Seniors should not consider it so much of a choke Cjokej when thev spend a class period in the lab. That we're all going to learn to pronounce lamp chimnev the way Mr. Troyer did, namely, l.ambley chimp. That Driver ought to be employed in a watch factory, Xllhvl Oh. to make faces. Cliv Hazel HJ That another girl's heart should not be broken, as hers was. That a carpenter was needed to inspect the planks around Violette .Vs seat in the assembly roo'n after she fell on the floor. That we are afraid certain notable Seniors will BASKET BALL The basket bail squad has practically the same line- up as last year, which is as follows: Clark, centerg Rowe, right forward: Atkins, left forward: Fischer, right guardp Sudborongh, left gnardg Eby and Mc- Mullen substitutes. The boys played a successful schedule this year- winning six of the nine games played. The basket ball season for B. H. S. opened Dec. 18 and closed March 5, when the last game was played with the lilkhart Athertons. This game was played at Elkhart, and although our boys were not used to the Hoor they put up a good tight and when the time was up the score stood 3: to 27 in our favor. lt was in this game is noted for his accuracy, free throwing and for foil- ing his opponent, especially with the left hand. Al- though Atkius does not cover so much ground as some of the others he plays under our basket and is noted for throwing a basket with great cleverness betore his guard arrives on the scene. Fischer has a knack of blocking the long passes and getting the hall bfiek under Bristol's goal with unusual quickness. Sud- borough malres a good guard in the fact that he knows how and when to use his strength to the best advan- tzlge. Although B. ll. S. will lose three of the best players this year we sincerely hope that the team next year BASKET BALL TEAM that our fellows reclaimed their reputation and proved to the neighboring teams that they did not always have to play on their own floor to win. Of the nine games played four of them were played out of town, three of which the boys met with defeat. B. H. S. still holds the record of winning every game played on the home floor. r The games were well attended this year and much 'rooting took place which cheered the players on to greater success. Clarkie still jumps as high as ever and plays the main part in getting the ball started from the center toward our goal. Rowe possesses the power to be at all places on the Hoor at the same time. He will lee just as strong and will meet with as much it not better success. FIRST TEAM RECORD Tl. ll. S VS. Ellahart Athletics ............ .... 4 0-4 ll. ll. S. rs. Three Rivers ..... .. .

'i THE AGRICULTURE CLASS Bristol High School first recognized along with other leading High Schools of Indiana the im- portance of Agriculture as a science, last year. And it was last year that they met the demands of the people by introducing agriculture into the school. By the end of the year they could have hung up ribbons as a champion of Niorthern Indiana. This year only the Freshmen of the High School were allowed to enter into the Agriculture class. excepting the seventh and eighth grades. The Freshmen have not taken up all the different lines of agriculture but have studied more in detail the raising and caring for poultry. At the beginning of the year they decided to build a chicken house on the school campus and started raising chickens to discover the best food and ration to feed chickens in order to obtain a large amount of eggs. ' Their work has met with success and should be an example for other Agriculture Classes of Bristol to follow. DOMESTIC SCIENCE The Domestic Science Class. with Miss Esther Lehman as instructor is the first class that has ever performed any experiments in this depart- ment at llristol High School. Although we have had poor equipmentQ we have produced some ex- cellent results. NN-fe have been very enthusiastic with our work and have succeeded in the prepara- tion of many recipes. On the eighteenth of December we prepared and served a three-course dinner to the members of the Board and County Superintendent. XVe exceedingly appreciated the fact that it seemed to have been highly appreciated by all present. One morning we visited the bakery. We not only enjoyed our trip, but found it very interest- ing and instructive. Next year we expect to give special attention to Domestic Science,.devoting five hours of our time each week to this work instead of two, and 'we sfncerely hope to have better equipment. IN MEMORIAM. One of the saddest events to occur during our High School career was the death of one of our most beloved class mates. Charles Hartranft. His sickness came upon him last year, compelling him to stay from school. This year near Christ- mas death visited his home and although being expected, yet it was a shock to every one. The Senior Class purchased two beautiful bouquets of roses and carnations for him during his sickness and death. Charles certainly ,is missed in the High School. He was a good, honest and hard working student. He participated in all athletic games and was instrumental in helping in all high school functions no matter what they were until his sickness. VVe as a class certainly regret to think that Charles could not be among our num- ber to graduate this year. BASKET BALL SECOND TEAM Our haslcet ball second team is the chief agency in making our lirst team what it is, and has its lineup as follows: Eby, centerg Miller, left forward: E. Fischer, right forward: Swayne, left guard: McMullen, right guard:Reed, substitute guard. Tlze boys have played only two gzunes this year, both of which were with Constantine. ln the home game they were victorlous but were defeated in the return game, which was due to playing on a strange tioor and the disabling of one of their best players. These boys deserve much credit in tlte fact that they faithfully supported the practice grames for the hrst team and added to its efiieeucy. Although thev did not have inueh chance to distinguish themselves this year, they have good prospects ot lzuilihng a successful team next year. SECOND BASKET BALL TEAM SECOND TEAM RECORD Ti. 11.

GIRL'S BASKET BALL Girls Basket Ball was organized three years ago under the supervision of lllr. and M rs. K. M. Snapp, and due to their faithfulness and encour- agement, and the girls' loyalty and enthusiasm, a team was organized which in a short time became the pride of the school and town. The girls. however, were not so fortunate as the boys seemed to be. Their first team was made up almost entirely of Senior girls and at their graduation the school was again without a girls' basket ball team. Vlihen the season came last winter. for some unknown reason the girls seemed to have lost their interest and although they made two or three public appearances they surely made no startling conquests. This year the prospects for a team look a trifle more encouraging but this time they were handi- capped by not having a coach. A first team was not chosen as the girls showed equal skill in one way or another and no star players were developed. No out of town teams were challenged but the girls picked two teams among their own number and furnish-ed some lively entertainment for the on-lookers on two or three occasions. Next year the girls expect to put Bristol on the map again and keep up the reputation of the IQI3 Basket Ball team. C-lRL'S BASKET BALL TEAM ' GENERAL JOKES Arnold C. in Lat.

The boys are showing excellent talent and several new mem- bers have been added since last year. By a little liberal financial help from our business men a new band wagon was purchased, and open air concerts were held every Saturday evening last summer. They have held rehearsals nearly every Vved- ncsday evening during the winter months. so are better prepared than ever before for the coming concerts. Nr. Kolb, Supervisor of Music in our HighiSchool. and director of the band has enthu- siastically spent much time and labor in drilling the band, making it competent for what it has been doing since its organization in 1912. It is our hope that the band will keep on prospering and growing and that in the time to come we shall never be without a High School Band. which is not only a value to the school but also to Bristol. HIGH SCHOCL BAND MORNING EXERCISES Fifteen minutes is devoted to morning exer- cises, which at the first of the term consisted of two songs and a reading by one of the teachers. but later on in the term a new method was ndonted that continued throughout thegerm. Un Friday current events were given and every two weeks on Wfednesday a program was arranged bv the presidents of the various classes in turn. The programs were very much appreciated which consisted of songs, piano solos, recitations, read- ings and a number of interesting lectures by Rev. Streeter, Rev. Croxall, Rev. Hoffman and Professor Driver. CURRENT LITERATURE. A desk was placed in the High School Assembly Room on which to place current literature. The facility and classes with much enthusiasm and interest supplied the desk with practical reading matter, consisting of the follow- ing: The Chicago Record Herald and The Chicago Daily Tribune by Mr. Driver and Mr. Oesch: The Out-Look by Mr. Driver: The Pictorial Review by Miss Lehman: A Motion Picture Magazine by the juniors: The Ladies Home Journal by the Sophomores: a number ot magazines by Mr. Nicholson and the Freshmen appropriately subscribed for the Youths Com- panion. By this method we have had access to the best daily papers, weekly and monthly magazines for current events and recent literature which we may consult at any time. t . ' 1.
