men and sweet girl graduates. All heads were bowed during the prayer for the departing class, and, no doubt, each rnemlrer was thanking his lucky star, because the juniors had been so good to them. After the orchestra finished playing The Graduates, Professor Foulke, of Chicago, stepped before the people, his very appearance held them spell-bound. He turned to address the graduates, but, hark, what is that! was expressed on the face of every person. It was only the flapping of wings and a suppressed giggle. And then there rose before the audience four beautiful carrier pigeons, and with every flap of their graceful wings long streamers of f7I1l77fL' and ygftlfdl waved deliance to the outwitted Seniors. The people saw the joke and heartity applauded. Several of the Seniors managed to put on a broad grin, but most of them shot savage looks toward the gleeful ushers. One pigeon enjoyed the joke as much as tl1e people and carried it farther by struting across the stage and spending the evening beneath one of tl1e chairs, that the Seniors might enjoy looking at our glorious colors all during the exercises. After tl1e excitement ceased the graduates put on their evening dress faces again and seemed relieved, because they thought the joke was over. jay alone appeared uneasy and kept his eyes on the six fair maidens in the balcony. How could he help it though? An hour later, when all attention was centered on the Valedictorian. a square piece of white linen m Jved slowly out from one end of the balcony and, opening in midair, revealed a-a-well, I clon't exactly like to say it, for it was really nieang but, any way, but people usually call such an animal jack, and his com- panion jennie. At any rate, as the '9S 011 the end showed the picture was intended to represent the departing class. Poor Seniors? Poor Seniors! ! They alone rnust attempt to express their feelings. Never was a class more anxious to have the curtain drop than that one. XVhen they reached the Club House the triumphant juniors greeted them. From the lapel of each coat hung the puzjrlu Hlld gold with strips of the picture and the Spanish flag The graduates pretended to have forgotten the joke and hoped that others would do the same, but what was their surprise and their feelings when they saw Mr. Lane and others congratulating the juniors, and declaring that the pigeon joke was the prettiest ever played at a High School commencement. 5 .2 1, 633-if ,115

The Ex-Junior Picnic. iowa , 'fr 'r ' , Y . . . . 'J Q Q- , f 4 H1'I last week of school had coine, bringing joy to some and sorrow to others. I can't say that the juniors were not glad that their P 151' , : ,W g B 3 vacation was so near, but I can say that they were sorry and almost heart-broken to lose one of their best and most popular N K E ' i In teachers. J 2, ' I Q6 liizaw- 5 Miss C. had been offered a fellow-ship in the State Vliiversity of Pennsylvania. The juniors were proud to think that one of ' A J 37153 their instructors should be given such an honor. So a crowd of junior girls gathered together and discussed several plans by which they might show their appreciation for Miss C. They finally decided to give a picnic in her honor. TMDL' C13 The questions now came up. Whom shall we invite? XYhat shall we have for lunch, and XVl1ere shall we give the Q picnic? All these questions but the nrst were decided upon. The girls, ex-juniors now, were undecided whether or not they would invite the boys. They knew the boys thought as much of Miss C. as they did, but they didn't want to invite them. They were also afraid that it wonldn't be right to exclude them. I am afraid they were a little jealous of the boys, so they decided that they would not invite them. .-Xt last the appointed day came and a merry crowd waited for the coaches that were to take them to a beautiful summer resort north of the city. XVhen the coaches arrived, all the girls scrambled to get a seat next to Miss C. But as every one could not sit beside her, they took tl1e next hest thing and sat as near to her as they could, On their way, the girls talked over the question that was so hard for them to decide, and said they hoped tl1at they would see none of the boys at the resort. You can imagine how they felt when the first persons qhey saw when they reached their destination were two boys of their class. Entering the grove, the jolly crowd was beseiged by two news reporters, much to the sorrow of the crowd who did not want the uninviterl ones to know about the picnic. You see the two boys they inet did not know the particulars of the case, and had no way of Finding out unless some of the girls would tell them. After the news reporters found out all they could, the picnicers decided to hunt for a place where they might eat their lunch. One of the girls said, I know a good place where the rnosquitos are not plentiful. The whole crowd answered, Alright, you lead the way and we will follow.
