y 74. Ka a DGEHIGHAND-LATIN-SCHOOL ART HevLen F. Morton. AN UK PR CAMER Because a commercial tendency seems to be creeping in among the preparatory sch ools of today, we have an added reason to be glad that we still have an Art Depart- ment, well conducted and constructively formed, that is second to none. We know how hard it is to draw when we try to make pictures for the younger brothers or sisters, so we cannot help but admire those gifted young students who can make a pencil talk. And the more reason to admire the teachers who have instilled the germ of Art in the pupil. So we reason, therefore, that the teachers must be especially gifted to impart the same knowledge to the pupil. We forget just now who the Muse of Art is, but we salute her anyway and, to her and to her able representatives here, we render homage. SCIENCE Timotuy F. Downey. Bang! goes the chloride hypersulphate or some such unpronounceable, and the laboratory is in ruins. Or perhaps the nitroglycerin may be playfully cutting up and blow off a few roofs. But come what may, the Science Department still plods on instilling and distilling knowledge into heads that seem to be composed of ferous some- thing or other. Much credit is due to the head of this department because of the constant danger that he is in. Every pupil whom he or his subordinates flunk may conceive the deadly plan of mixing guncotton with the materials for the next day’s experiment, and then — what a mean revenge that would be! But, seriously, the Science Department is, perhaps, the only one whose work is constantly changing. New discoveries are made daily, and the teachers must not only retain their old knowledge, but must be continually acquiring new. And yet it is the most interesting. “Chough we may not care how many heads Burke had to his argument, how many secants there are in a trapezoid, or how many books there are in the bookkeeping department, we are always intensely interested in the result of putting that funny looking red powder over there into that oily liquid. Even though the results are not what we expected (especially in examinations) we all know that our intentions are of the best. And so they are. May the effects of CO plus Os be ever promulgated by the able teachers and master whom we now have. - THANK YOU Tue YEAR Book wishes to express its heart-felt appreciation of the service and efforts of the following teachers and pupils who helped to make this Year Book suc- cessful : Miss Mary C.

ie ERIDGEHIGHAND-LATINSSCHOOL La Nig yi CAN ORAL ENGLISH “T am disgusted. You haven’t the ex- pression of adummy.”’ The more we stand up and endeavor to spout endless “Gunga Dins,” the more we appreciate and marvel at the remarkable genious a good actor must be — which is beside the point. This cruise is a very short one to be sure, but it is fully as hard in proportion as the majority of the others. Sometimes we wonder also and equally marvel at the patience of our Captain on this cruise. You simply can not quit. Before you disembark you are acquainted to some degree with the art of elocution thanks to the efforts of our OD tireless leader. Yet, all in all, it was a MISS LILLIAN B. HARTIGAN “bon voyage.” MUSICAL DEPARTMENT Down through the decks of the galleon floats the strains of martial music. The surge and thunder of the surf are our only rivals. Under the leadership of our capable music-master, we have sailed away to inspiring music and spirited melody. We render our thanks and sincere praise to him and to his pupils, the Orchestra, and Choir. We do not realize, accustomed as we are to hearing these musi- cal organizations at so many of our affairs, just what we would do without them. ‘They are there to assist at every assembly, at every debate and speaking contest, and our school games would be in- complete without them. ‘They are as integral a part of our school life as our studies or our sports ; and they have lessened the long trip considerably. O Muse, we are grateful to thee and to thy accomplished followers. MR. JOHN B. WHORISKEY Page 16
