CLASS POEM Our school days will soon he ended. A This sounds lilfe a word of cheer: Hut really 'tis one of much sadness, Wfhen we think that the time draws so near. The great world now looms up hefnre us Wie must join in its toil and its strife: As have those who have gone before us, When they started out in life. But let's not look hack at our school days, As a time of sorrow and grief, Hut as days of great preparation, And we only regret 'twas so brief. Our High School work is now over, But they say 'tis merely a start: ,id is-. , In the training that lies before us, For the conunclrums of life's art. Let's always remember our classmates, As chums in trouble and fun: Not enemies holding and pulling, When the High School race is run. In basket ball and tennis, XVe have Hung our banners high, Nay the victory still be with us As the boundless sea we try. So here's to our Faculty, Both the present and past.

THE BAND Another year has passed since the organiza- tion of the High School Band. 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.
