CLAIR CANFIELD Lad and Lassie were small children playing in the nursery on a cold rainy day. Nothing to do but look at books, and at last the pictures of dolls and toy trains failed to interest them. At last they came to a book of strange and won- derful pictures. The most magic picture was one of a boy and girl dressed in black cap and gown, who were waving goodby to their beloved school. Under the picture was the text, Nos sumus Seniores Denique. Of all pictures they loved this one the best and often they tried to figure out its meaning. Their first school days were as happy and free as the wind. Up, up the ladder of knowledge they climbed, and now they are beginning to dream of the Senior, the text and the Big High School, many times Lad and Lassie would wander away from their hard text books, yet always returning to the grind be- cause of the Senior dream. Lad and Lassie came to the Big High School as Freshmen, and under Lad's arm was the old nursery book. The first night after the first day of this strange new life, he called Lassie to him, and together they read the story of the Senior and feasted their eyes on the wonderful picture. When Lad and Lassie were Sophomores, their eyes began to open. The dream and vision seemed nearer, yet the dignity of the Senior was even harder to understand. Juniors were Lad and Lassie now, with all the knowledge and culture that went with that year, yet without that serious and reserved air of the Senior. At the close of the Senior year before taking leave of their Dream School, Lad called Lassie to him and carefully unwrapped the old nursery book. I-low sacred it seemed for at the close of their junior year, tomorrow, they were be- ginning a new life, a Senior. Lassie whispered very softly into Lad's ear, It's all coming out true Laddie, at last. In I9I2 the whole dream was made clear when Lad and Lassie became Seniors. The miracle came, also the DIGNITY. You and I are Lad and Lassie. In our first school days, when with sun- bonnet and straw-hat, we thought a Senior a mighty sage and the black cap and gown a mysterious garment, but Lad and Lassie have grown up to their dream and it is in C C. I'I. S. So many anticipated joys are disappointments, but realization this time is more nearly perfect than we could ever have hoped for. Our dream has un- folded into a perfect reality, with the dark and light threads mingled into a per- fect web. Graduates! Yes even that, is the dream. And Lassie in her gown of wis- dom and beauty whispers in Lad's ear, Laddie, we are in the text at last. Nos sumus seniores deniquef'---K. V. T. S-IBA DOTY. Normal Train- ing.

A meeting of Juniors the president called A demand for an historian, the students appalled Y And to me fell the effort to attempt to relate Some valorous feats and skirmishes of late. With starting as Freshmen our honors began With oration and declamation our warship we man And about these young men of the time did sing And whooped and yelled as if each were a king. But in contrast with the many skirmishes great They lunched in the study hall and death seemed the fate, But, Sir Catlett, the good, their lives did save For none knew better than he what their appetites crave. When called to the carpet by Sir Catlett bold The spokesman of the tribe their sad story told That Miss Oliphant declared that no notewriting should be But the girls only cared about who should be free. But now to the Sophs l would that you'd go But here fewer honors l would have you know For fate seemed turned to others than us ' And thus for no oration or declaration made us fuss. Then on a Weenie and marshmallow toast 'did go And took two chaperones with us you know But say the eatens, we surely enjoyed When neither by Freshmen or Juniors annoyed. But to the glorious present l've hastened When we'er neither by faculty nor fellow students chastened C. C. H. S. will fail not to remember Juniors of nineteen twelve When glory and honor they won for themselves. With effort and praise and with help great course we run For a debate and duet from Galena we won. But a debate isn't all of the fame we've set alire But the future towards which every Junior would strive Is a goal at which we safely hope to arrive. ,Q 'CQ' 05' A PRAYER.

Contrary to all set formulaes for sophomore behavior, the class of 1914 has in their second year combined all the quietness of the Freshme proverbial dignity and uprightness of the Senior.

This year We have broken away from the usual routine of ma toasts, picnics, and class scraps, in our attempt to set an exarnpl numerous classes to followg so instead of an eventful season, I9IZ period of ,quiet study for us.

A certain Freshman, after graduating from the country school, decided to come to C. C. H. S. for further education. On enrollment clay he appeared, and never having been in the building before, his mouth got so far open that it was with much difficulty that he succeeded in getting it shut. l-le saw a crowd around the office door when he First went in, and asked if this was the place to uunrollf' Being told that it was, he, with much embarrassment, took the first step necessary. After enrolling, he came in contact with a senior who was selling chapel tickets. The Freshie asked how much they were worth, and being told that they were a dime, he replied. 'rlqhatis purty 'spensive show to go to ev'ry clay. The senior agreed that it Was, and Went his Way. When noon arrived, this poor green Freshie, having heard that all Fresh- men got their dinner free, Went down to the Domestic Science room where he found only empty tables and dishes. The first day of recitation came, he Went to Physical Geography, supplied with dumb bells and lndian Clubs, as some one had told him he must be. But as the days passed, he learned more of C. C. I-I. S. and while he still has his chapel ticket, his embarrassment and green actions have been dispensed with, and hard studies have taken their place.

The College Preparatory Course as its name suggests has for its primary object, the preparation of students to enter college or the university. Towards this end the C. C. H. S. has made a steady determined effort to give her stu- dents adequate facilities to accomplish that end. Five distinct departments make up the work of the course, the language, mathematics, history, science and English. Students may now have either three years of Latin or three year of German to meet the college requirements. ln the science department in the third years, students may take either Physics or Chemistry and this year Domestic Science may be elected to take the place of either. The work in Botany has for this semester been completed soon enough to permit a collection of twenty-five flowers for analysis and mounting. The fourth year's work in English has this year been a composition course in accordance with the suggestions of the English department of the university. The school from its beginning has been moving steadily forward and in the March meeting of the North Central Association it was made one of the Fifty Kansas High Schools to be fully accredited Cwith ollege and Secondary schools. Through this recogniton Smith college on April the sixth voted to accept students certfied by this school without examination, We invite you to join our school to select the course best suited to your purpose and your need and then steadily and determinedly pursue it to the completion. . Q f . ' NORMAL COURSE. The Normal course trains for proficient work in graded schools and ef- ficient systematic teaching in the rural schools. Five years ago the course was changed from athree to a four years' course: at that time a language was made a requirement for those Finishing the work: thus they were made eligible to enter any college or university without examination. Last year was the first year that all the Normal seniors had met conditions for the college entrance. ln 1909 the legislature of the state enacted a law providing for normal training in certain High Schools of the state for the purpose of affording .in- creased facilities for the professional training of those preparing to teach. Such a course was instituted in the County High School with very interesting rssults. Ten of the students of the class of 1909-l0 and seventeen students of the class of l9l0-I I took the examinations and all of them passed. There are eighteen in the present class preparing to take the examination this year. The large number of students enrolled in this course this year promises ef- fective strong effort next year. Come and be with them. ,Q 'AD' O.. GENERAL COURSE. For a number of years this course was thought to be merely one, for those not able to carry the work in either of the other courses. At one time it per- haps did not have a high standard owing to the fact that a number of students failing in the other courses entered this one. This in part was brought about by the course being shorter than the Normal or College courses. Today there is no falling back to easier work or a shorter course for the General course since i907 has been a four years' course. Through the efforts of Mr. Cattlett one year was added thus making it equal in length with either the Normal training or College preparatory. At this time were added certain definite conditions for the work. Now certain requirements must be met be- fore a student is privileged to elect certain subjects. This means that easy subjects only, can no longer be taken to fill up the course. There must now be a just balance for certain heavy subjects constitute a basis upon which to build a permanent course. A student may after meeting the fundamental requirements direct his work into a desired channel, history, mathematics or English, but from the beginning there must be a well defined plan and definite purpose. Colleges and Universities are recognizing the fact that a general course may be made as valuable as a Normal training or College preparatory course if the selection of subjects is made to comform to that which is conducive to fundamental culture. Those 'finishing the work in this course need now be no less representative students than those finishing the work in other courses. .3- s . ' BUSINESS. Never in the country's history was there so great a demand for really well- prepared young men and young women. Neither was there ever such a high standard of efficiency required of these young people. Every business of any importance must have them for bookkeepers, clerks or stenographers. The Cherokee County people have long since realized the need of a busi- ness training for their sons and daughters. Consequently, they have installed a strong commercial course in the Cherokee County High School. It requires three years to complete our business course, thereby enabling the students to prepare themselves for future usefulness. They are not hampered by the thought that l must get out of school in from five to six months. The student does not have to go through a cramming system as he does in the ordi- nary business college. When he has completed his course, he is competent and ready to take hold of business problems and do them with credit to him- self and his employer. The importance of a business education cannot be overestimated'. Many of our present men of today acquired a business training before launching out into the business world. It trains for service. The subjects taught in the busi- ness course, with the electives, give the boys and girls a splendid training. The broader the education, the greater will be the opportunities of life. We often hear bright young men say that they could do something as well as some one who is engaged in a certain line of work. Often these very young men could do equally as well, and many times they are more capable if they had only taken advantage of a practical education. When we speak of education, we think of a development of all the faculties of the mind. Why not join the C. C. H. S. crowd and prepare for a broader and a more useful life of service. We bid the young men and women a hearty welcome into our circle. .3- 1 ,, ' ELECTIVES. THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT. ln years pasta great interest had always been taken in the music depart- ment and the work done there had been satisfactory. This year a greater inter- est than ever before has been taken in this department. Prof. Clyde Davidson has with unceasing energy studied to make this department count for as much as any of the other departments, and he has made it the biggest department in school this year. Under his splendid directorship, a Girls' Glee Club was organized early in the school year. It was entered in a contest with Galena High School and with a determination to win, worked diligently until Dec. 22, I9I l. ln the meantime the Soloist and Girls' Duet had been selected, We went to Galena determined to sing our very best, with the result that we won first place in Glee and Duet. ln October, A Boys' Glee Club was organizedg this is the first of its kind in school, and the public have been entertained by the excel- lent voices in this club. On March lst, aconcert was given by both Glee Clubs assisted by The Double Quartet, Senior Girls' Quartet, Duet and Solo. On March I 7th, The Girls Glee and Miss Katherine Tracewell as soloist went to Independence to contest at the South Eastern Teachers Association. The Girls' Glee won first place singing Cheerfulness by Gounod. Miss Tracewell won first place over eight other soloists with an average of 95 per cent. ln addition to all this, a chorus has been organized which meets every Wednesday morn- ing at chapel time. This chorus includes both Glee Clubs, the music classes and a few others. They are working on one of the smaller oratorios, The Wreck of the I-lespeusf' This is to be given sometime' during Commencement week. As a result of this effort and the awakened interest in the music of the High School a comic opera, consisting mostly of music, was chosen for the Senior play this year. This met the public with great success showing very special preparation and effective and untiring training. Through Mr. Davidson's efforts more genuine effective work, has been accomplished in the department than ever was thought to have existed in the school. This has brightened eyerything and really made all other school life more worth while. The stu- dents enrolled in this department have taken the interest that has helped to lighten the work of their instructor. 4'-7 Wi?-X fi I I l aff? we Q f W . N x S Wisisadllx J I ? qs.

The classes have been larger and the change in location has proved to be a great improvement. Universities and college now class Domestic Science as a science, permit- ting its election in place of chemistry or physics. This shows the value of the domestic science course and the standard it has attained in our schools. It is equally as important for the fully educated American woman to know the scien- tific value of food materials, as to be able to demonstrate a pr :position in geom- etry. We need the skill of our grandmothers and the science of today in our homes. Skill can only come by practice, but practice without method will avail nothing. ln our schools we get method and science, but skill can only be ac- quired by daily practice. The girls learn food values, preparation of food, acquire dexterity and accuracy. develop judgment, originality and good com- mon sense. All of which equip a woman for her life work. One of the most benifiicial features of the course is the excellent practice in serving luncheon. These arouse great interest and enthusiasm, each girl put- ting forth her best efforts to make her luncheon a success. These luncheons are served in three courses, serving six girls, and not exceeding SL00 in cost. The first luncheon given by the class was given in honor of the Boost'rs Clubs, in appreciation of their work for the school. The first real dinner ever given by the domestic science department was given to the Trustees and the Principal of the H. S. This dinner was an excel- lent example of the practical uses of methods and science and the girls deserve great credit in both the preparation and the serving. Domestic Art is a part of this department and has formed a very worthy part of the course. This year the girls have exhibited marked ability in their original designs and patterns and the specimens of their work do credit to th- ir efforts. Usefulness is one of the aims in the work, the girls are taught to cut and plan garments and to do really difficult sewing. Both the Domestic Science and Domestic Art courses that should interest and attract every girl no matter what course she pursues. .3- 4 . ' MANUAL TRAINING. According to the lealing educators of the day, the ideal education is the training of the head, the heart, and the hand. Manual Training, instead of interfering with the academic work really supplements it by awakening lively interests in other studies. It gives to the student real experience in using his hands as well as his brains in developing practical knowledge. ln this depart- ment boys and girls learn the great lessons of exactness and perfection, how to lay out plans for furniture and to work these plans. ' After a suclent has worked at a wowd-work bench or a forge, he has the respect for labor that many people do not possess. The history of this department shows a remarkable progress. ln the year 1905 tools for bench work were installed. Since then more machinery has been installed each year, until now we have as good equipment as any high school in the state. Last fall blacksmithing was added to the department, and now the students make almost everything from tooth-picks to rocking chairs, writing-desks, wagon-boxes, row-boats, hay-frames, and farm-gates. The boys in the forge class learn to weld iron, make tools, sharpen plows, and do general repair work. The turning class turn out some beautiful pieces of work as col- lar-boxes, walking-canes, ball-bats, and neck-yokes. Our work in every direction measures Well up with that of other shools. Visitors always come down to see the boys and girls do things, for they frequently assert that it is a blessing they did not get when they went to school. F 'I t I is C, C. H. S. STUDENTS. The students are a happy band, Assembled here with hopes of learning, Gathered here from o'er the land, With zealous aspirations burning. We come when sun'1rner's tints are pining When autum's yellow stores are spread When long and smoky days declining Bespeak the vacant seasons fled. We come with high and lofty feeling Priceless treasures to obtain Knowledge fair, the truth revealing And gems of virtue in the train. Tho 'mid our ranks are some who fail Yet friends dear still remain Friends to whom they tell their tale And who will still their rights maintain. These friendships are the healing balm Of all our cares, of all our woes We gladly bear the friendships calm From sessiorfs dawn till session's close.

However expensive and extensive the academic and vocational equipment of a modern school may be, it can in no way be complete without some pro- vision for moral development and religious training. This fact has been recog- nized by our Faculty and Trustees and by a large number of the student body. The result is apparent in the two effective religious organizations that exist, the Y. W. C. A and the Y. M. C. A. Before the beginning of this school year the Board of Trustees fitted up a beautiful little parlor on the upper floor of the south end of the building and the furnishings were transferred from the old room to the new one. Here throughout this year the weekly meetings have been held. During the year the Y. M. C. A. has perhaps not known the real success that it knew last year be- cause of the loss of practically all of the old leaders. The inexperience of the new ones made it rather difficult to get things running properly. However in spite of the handicaps some good work has been done and the outlook for next year is much brighter. All of those who have had acquaintance with the Y. M. C. A. realize the value of it and the result is that we have a constantly increasing power for good in the school and an association that will grow bigger and better.

MISS CORA SILVERNAIL If a portion of the human body should lie dormant and inactive for a length of time, that portion would fnna lj lose the power of action, its develop- ment would cease, and the physical being would be imperfect. Education embraces three forms of development: the mental, the physical and the religious. The growth of one's religious nature is quite as necessary as the growth of the mental and physical natures and like the physical body, if this nature be neglected, education would be imperfect and one sided. The Young Womens Christian Association of the Cherokee County High School aids very materially in the growth of this nature and serves as a shield from the numerous temptations, with which the young girls meet, who come to I 1 I ,, ,.l I V v I, ,, ,, 7 A this school from other places and are perhaps away from parents for the first time. ln this organization, the young people become better acquainted and each one learns the inner and better self of the other. The members seem to be much more interested this year than ever before and every meeting is well attended. The young people have a pleasant, cozy, little parlor, in which to hold their meetings, which is situated on the third story far from the madding crowd. From the windows of this room are afforded nice views of the town and landscape, on the east, south and west. The visit of the national secretary, Miss Burner, was one of the great things enjoyed by all and much was gained by coming in touch with one who knew the different associations and schools over our country. There were many intensely interesting and profitable meetings held during the yearg among them were several special meetingsg one occuring on Kansas Day. This interesting meeting was led by the cabinet, in which practically every one took part. The large audience of girls was entertained by poems, essays, and quotations about Kansas. Another meeting of interest was at Christmas time, which was led by Miss Schmalzreid. Many interesting talks were given on the subject Nchristmas in Many Lands. A very original and unique meeting was led by Miss Benton with the topic, nTable Etiquettei' in which was brought out many beautiful and dainty Ways, in which a table might be decorated. The Van Dyke meeting was well attended and was an interesting and profitable one, each prrson having some quotation from Van Dyke. Miss Lula Long very kindly aided in making the meetings a success by the painting of posters and souvenirs for the purpose of advertisement. Two socials were held during the yearg one called the Hard Time Social at the beginning of school term in order that the girls might become acquainted, the other a joint social of the Y. W. and the Y. M. C. A. An original play was given at the high school auditorium by the cabinets of the Y. W. and the Y. M. C. A. for the benefit of the two associations, The play entitled The Country School was full of fun and was fully appreciated by the audience, ln addition to the weekly meetings the girls have a Bible study class which also meets once a week. It is only a short period which is devoted to this purpose but much is gained from stealing away a few moments of time from lessons in this study of the Word. To have a thriving organization it is necessary to have a good leader. The president, Miss Katherine Tracewell, of the Y. W. this year is exceptionally talented and fitted for the office. Much of the enthusiasm displayed by the society is due to her energy, interest and enthusiasm. The students love her and respect her and look to her as a leader. ln order that the organization might be broadened by new and better ideas, delegates were sent to a convention in Wichita. The two girls, Miss Tracewell and Miss Long, came back very enthusiastic and ready to plan and carry out new ideas. The Y. W. C. A. is not an organization of schools alone but is a very broad scope of work. Many young girls in the cities are befriended and helped as Wheelock. Hooker. Ratcliff. Catlett. Woodard. Chubb. Thomas. Marshall well as the young foreigners who nrt: jtlsl lnncling' mul are without friends and a place to stay. Representatives of the organization, nice, broadmincled, amiable, young women, meet the ships on which the foreigners come and prove a very valuable aid, indeed to these young girls, who are generally very ignorant. It is most fitting toat our schools furnish privilege for the girls who are going to help judge the spiritual questions of tomorrow. Addie Coodpasture. ATHLETICS. One of the most important features of our high school life is athletics. This is a much abused and somewhat offensive side of our school to some, but what would our high school life be without some kind of athletic exercise to enliven the boys and girls after a day of hard work over their books. Some regard athletics as a waste of time and a place for the boys to spend their time with- out doing any good. Bu' the question is, do athletics benefit a school boy? We will all agree that exercise is beneficial to health and strength, and as athletics is merely another name for exercise it is also beneficial. .35- . . 4 FOOTBALL. Our year is divided into three athletics seasons. The first period is the football season, which lasts from the beginning of the school year until Thanks- giving. Last fall at the beginning of t e season a squad of boys appeared for practice. They had elected Hugh Makinney as their captain and Billy Allen, as their manager. Under the direction of these two and the coach, Prof. Skinner, the boys made a very strong team. Although we lost a few games dur- ing the season, our boys did remarkably well considering the fact that all of the fellows were new at the game. Following is a list of the games played at home and abroad: SCORE. Columbus at Miami ,,,, , . . , . C 6 M 0 i Webb City at Columbus ,W 6 C I7 Carthage at Columbus , ,.

A large number of boys appeared on the basket ball court this season. Nearly all the old team were in school again this year so, under the coach- ing of Mr. Wheelock we were enabled to get one of the best teams in south- eastern Kansas winning the championship of the league, in which we were playing. The other teams in the league were Cherokee, Ft. Scott and Pittsburg. The Final standing ofthe teams were: Columbus, first: Pittsburg, second: Ft. Scott, third and Cherokee, fourth. The C. C. H. S., won the silver loving cup. , s ew: CIRUS ATHLETICS. This year the girl's athletic association met to decide about playing basket ball. Porfessor Skinner was elected to coach and Hazel Halcomb was elected as manager. After practicing for sometime the following girls were chosen to compose the team: Avis Vollmar and Maud Hull, forwards, Theo. Halcomb and Kate Ketchem, guards, Hazel Goodwin and Hazel Halcomb, centers. Cora Grammar, substitute. Six games were played in all, five of them being League games. Avis Vollmar was elected Captain. We were somewhat at a disadvantage in not having a gymnasium in which to practice.

On this early summer morning, as he came in from an all night fish- ing trip, this old fisherman was aroused by a feeling that only the Divine handi- work can stir. The sky and water looked as though they were a continuation of the other. Across the bay he could see other fishing smacks, their white sails spread with the wind: and above them, looking like miniature vessels, the sea gulls darted in every direction. Behind him lay an endless expanse of water that followed his boat in great waves, 'always breaking .just as they reached it. The smack was moving steadily toward a wooden wharf, which had been built under the over-hanging rocks of the shore. The dull brown of the stone was a distinct contrast to the bright colors surrounding it. Roughly hewn steps, cut in the low bluff, led from the wharf and were covered by soft green moss which blended perfectly with the bright green vegetation that grew above. On one side of these steps, a tiny silver stream trickled down over the rocks and fell into a shallow rock reservoir that overflowed into the bay. Presently a pale lavender glow on the water caused the old fisherman to look up, and he beheld the sky stirred by a rosy tint that each moment grew deeper. The color changed to golden and rose higher in the sky. A long yellow beam shot across the bay, looking as if a sand bar had just descended. . Gradually this changed to the appearance of a rain-bow that rose and fell with the dancing of the waves. Then the sun burst forth in all its crimson glory and gave the lacking element to a perfect summer morning. As he fastened his boat to the wharf the old fisherman was unconscious that his own picturesque figure gave the picture the final touch of perfection. He stepped from the boat and sat down on a pile of canvas and Hshing nets that had been thrown on the wharf. With no thought of an artistic touch, he had knotted a red handkerchief around his neck which made a charming con- trast to the dark gray of his fishing dress and to the smoke which rose from his long stemmed pipe and became lost in the tinted air around him. His rough worstecl cap, drawn tightly clown over the back of his head, exposed the kindly, weatherbeaten face of a man who had lived long with nature and the big Out- ofdoorsg and who cherished nothing but kindness in his heart. The shrewd light that sparkled in his old blue eyes as he contemplated his night's haul would have befitted any Yankee man-of-affairs, but the youthful softness show- ed again, as rising, he labored up the few steps, pausing to answer, with a soft whistle, the challenge of a young refl-bird who had been trying to make his acquaintance. And the Happiest Skipper of Gloucester disappeared down the winding path to begin his night of rest as nature's day began. ---Mona Clare Huffman. O I 'D' :J THE GONG. Somewhat back from the main street here Stands the C. C. H. S. to all so dear. Across its antique porticog No tall trees their shadows throw: And from its station in the hall Resounds the gong that says to all, To work---to work, Do not---be late. There, groups of merry Freshmen played, There, juniors and Seniors dreaming stayed. O precious nooks, O golden hours And affluence of love and powers, Efen as a miser counts his gold, Long study hours by that gong were told. To work---to work, Do not---be late. Now soon will all be scattered and fied. Some be married, some be dead, And when l ask with throbs of pain Ah when shall we all meet again? As in the days long since gone by Where we were Sent our strength to try To work---to work, And not---be late. A LOST EVANGELINE. I am wounded, severly wounded, in heart, by a shaft shot from her own hands and now I am resolved on revenge. ' She comes back to me with her loving face marred by a tear of pity and tries in vain to heal the fatal wound. She does not apply the right remedy and I pass the clear vision of her beauty away, to be forever forgotten. I am reeking out my vengeance. But llook again upon her, I see her weeping tears of pain and sorrow. My heart is melted and I realize that my wounded heart has been avenged. Shall I step to her side and once more call her my love? No! The Good Book says, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and I shall add, A heart for a heart, and turn away from a sight so pitiful and depart forever. 5 n -at lr , ' As to chapel speech wego A little prayer we murmur low: lVIurrnur earnestly and deep Now I lay me down to sleep. f--Ex. THE PASSING SNOW. The snow is thick upon the ground The chipmunks hurry homeward boundg The Snow birds Hurry here and there The squirrel is couched within his lair. No difference makes to this old Jim crow Who flys o'er land in the long black row: And with a slow and steady wing Caws in the woods till the echoes ring. But the moon comes up as night is near And lights the scene so cold and blear: And swings herself high up to light The great white glorious glittering sight. The snow then gleams with dazzling sparks, And the fox's footprints the white plain marksg Followed close by the wise night-bird Whose mournful hoot is often heard. The sound of deep and distant bark Makes the rabbit sit up and hark, And everything is hushed and still As the fox starts out for the distant hill. The hunt is o'er the fox is dead The Weary hunters seek their bed: Their homeward journey now they go Leaving their trails upon the snow. And so the dawn of day arrives, His team the farmer workward drives: The snow is melted by the sun, The brooks with muddy waters run. And when the snow is on the hills The sun will shine till it runs in rills: And the trouble that blinds the human eyes Like darkened clouds makes silver skies. The grass gets green the sun grows bright And mounts up to its heavenly height: The birds are noisy in their song And in the World thereis nothing wrong. But when trouble comes to you or me, Like waves upon the restless sea: Like the laboring boat the tide we'll breast Come safe at last to the harbor blest. ---W. H. Reid. ,Q C Q I 'nn TRIP TO MARS. .There was once a great company organized to write a very important book. One thing only, did they lack to make their book far out-rank any that had been written by their former fellow-students. This pertained to the science of the sky, and could best be obtained by a trip to some far-off planet. These wise heads set to thinking, and she of that wild and hilarious mien, and flowing tresses did, as usual, offer a timely suggestion, which was at this time a trip to Mars. This was eagerly listened to, and, after much discussion they finally decided at once, to begin preparation for the journey. Certain work was assigned to each member. and to the resourceful one, he of snapshot attainments, director of the company, was allotted the task of building the air-ship which was to carry this august body to that far off land of shadows and mysteries. With quiet, systematic endeavor, each took to his task, and at once began noising it about. At the appointed time everything was in readiness. Cn the twenty-second of February, it was announced that the ascension would take place on the Hrst day of March from the campus of C. C. H. S. As if nature herself were interested in this great feat of aerial navigation, the day for their departure dawned bright and fair. Old earth smiled a blessing upon them much as a mother smiles upon her son as he steps forth from the thres- hold of home, to seek the knowlege with which he may take a rank with his fellow-men. Long before the appointed hour, people had gathered from far and near, some to bid their friends farewell, others through mere curiosity to see the awe inspiring spectacle. Many cheers rent the air as the members, one by one, stepped on board the air-Ship. The punctual dignihed member of the faculty faction, she of that ever-present, thoughtful expression, was first to take her place, Immediately followed the remaining of the host of the Annual Staff. The fair-tressed Katherine, she of the echoing Voice, she of the renowned vic- tory, then Inez the far-famed beauty's standard, she of the excelled dramatic fame, then the much-enduring Clyde, he of the curly locks and olive brow, then came the celebrated sculptor, she of the tiny stature, and with her the goddess of art, the bright-eyed Lula, with an abundance of art material, the athletic rep- resentatives, the rulers of games, the goal-thrower of basket-ball renown, she of the dark hair and eyes and the guarder in the game, he of the auburn hair and sky-blue eyes were next. She of the wild and hilarious mien, apparently taking the whole matter as ajoke hastened up the ladder. All aboard, called the director of the company, from his Seat in the engine room. Then Lloyd, the widefruling chief, he of pre-eminent rank, of the searching inclination, with several beloved histories peeping forth from his pockets, was then, about to give the signal for departure when it was discovered that his assistant, Clair of the wavy hair and laughing eyes, he, the announcer of payment of dues, and he, the most redoubtable of men, the taker of a bright-eyed damsel, the man of commercial fame were not, as yet on board. The former could be seen coming reluctantly toward the ship with the look on his face of one who is leaving his one and only behind, at the same time the latter, with one foot on the rear plat- form, was bidding his wife a fond and affectionate farewell. Amid enthusiastic cheers and high school yells, the sky-bird resplendent in red and gold, loaded with its intellectual burden, rose with many a graceful spiral glide and began its flight to the far off land of Mars. They traveled on through space, hour after hour, day after day, until the sameness became almost unbearable. Then great excitement was caused by the appearance of a carrier pigeon. It alighted on the shoulder of the fair tress- ed Katherine and she was in the act of feeding it, she discovered a small tube which was attached to its neck. On closer examination the tube was found to contain a small parchment on which was found written in a familiar hand writing the following: To the annual staff of the Cherokee County High School or to whom-so-ever this may reach. Entombed as l am in a dungeon in Mars whitherl came to secure material for the great Checoukan Annual, l realize that I may never return to earth, never-the-less l feel it my duty to im- part to you, if possible, the knowledge l have gained of the inhabitants of this planet, therefore l am taking the only means available to do so. Attached to this was a complete description of the government and a small map showing the main entrance, Maenroderius, also of the location of the ruler's palace and a short translation of some of the most important words of their language. They decided to accept this mysterious missive as authentic and according- ly proceeded to familiarize themselves with every detail of it. After many more tiresome hours, they found themselves nearing Mars and soon landed on the banks of the Rocois Canal, After another careful study -l- of the map, Lloyd the wide-ruling chief, departed for the palace of Mon Zorix' the ruler, to interview him on behalf of the company. But not being able to gain a hearing he was forced to return to the ship for further orders. When these circumstances confronted them there was no wonder that a wave of de- spondency swept over the sparing eleven. As usual a punctual dignified mem- ber of the faculty, she of that ever thoughtful expression saved them from utter despair. uYou know it is said on earth that the Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, and the same may prove true here, Tis worth the trying at any rate, she of the tiny stature, she of the excelled dramatic fame, and she of the echoing voice responded whereupon it was suggested by several that they should go to the palace gate and sing one of their favorite songs that they had learned on earth. This they agreed to do if he the taker of bright eyed damsels would go along as a body guard. The ruler 'if the realm was charmed by the beautiful notes and freely gave them permission to remain. They wasted no time in idleness. l-le of the snap shot ambition spent much time in taking pictures to verify any statement that might be made by the people of earth. She of the wild and hilarious mien missed none of the ludicrous things all of which seemed to be very fitting in her joke book. All the rest made careful study in a like manner of the things which pertained to their realms. The rulers of the games made a thorough study of the athletics and contemplated introducing the system upon their return home. During all this time, no clue as to the where-abouts or identity of the writer of the parchment could be found. When one day Lloyd, the Wide-ruling chief, and his assistant Clair, he of the wavy hair and laughing eyes started out to se- cure material to complete their article concerning botany. As they did not expect to return for a day or so they provided themselves with the necessary food for the expedition. They traveled on for several hours Ending many specimens until at last they found themselves ascending a slight elevation. On reaching the top they looked about them and were impressed by the loneliness of the spot, No signs of habitation were visible. They stood for a moment impressed by the solitude of their surroundings, and then by common consent they moved towards the largest of many clumps of bushes. which skirted the elevation. Entering the thicket and finding nothing of interest, they were about to pass Ion when their attention was attracted by a heel print in the sand. Naturally their curiosity was aroused for' they knew that the peculiar sandal worn by the natives could never have left this print. They found anothera few steps further on, and then another, and another until they ended abrupflyijbef fore a huge rock which showed signs of recent displacement. Seeing nottracks leave the stone in any direction they were led to wonder whatfif anything, the stone concealed. With a great effort they succeeded in removing the stone, What was their astonishment to find an opening to an undeiground 'passage- Their love for adventure prompted them to explore it. They entered not stop- ping to consider the dangers they might encounter. After groping along in the clark for some distance they lighted a match and discovered they were about to entera large cavern. To their consternation they found this was their last match, but they Went on into the cave where they were surprised to find a dim ray of light penetrating the gloom. By this they were enabled to make a fair examina- tion of it. Many things led them to believe this was used as a place of confine- ment. The most convincing evidence was the finding of what appeared to them to be a human skeleton. Uncanny' as the place was they kept up their exploration for some time, and when about to return they heard a faint moan coming from a distant corner. Overcoming their fear they Went to that part of the cave from whence the sound came. There in a recess in the wall face downward lay the body of a man in chains. They carefully picked up the almost lifeless form and conveyed it back through the dark narrow passage. As the light of the sun shone on his palid features an exclamation of surprise came from both boys as they simultaneously recognized this emaciated creature to be the lost business manager Albert, he of the wandering nature. They lost no time in getting him back to the ship, and with careful nursing he was far on the way to recovery and able to tell the story of his adventure. As the necessary material had, by now, been obtained, they immediately made preparations for their journey home. But the king, having become infat- uated with the ruler of the game. she of the dark hair and eyes, refused to let them go. Then, after much persuasion, the fair tressed Katherine consented to sing her favorite song i'A Dream to him. He was so entranced by her sweet tones that he seemed to himself to be far away from the danger of pursuit, with his beloved by his side. While he was in this state previous arrangements for an immediate departure, already having been made, the company escaped to their ship and at once took flight, the ruler of the realm to find it to be only a dream and naught remained to tell of the visit of the C. C. H. S. annual staff of Nineteen-Hundred and Twelve, but the colors of red and gold which could be seen floating from the top of the castle as the years rolled on. ---Hope Stanwaity. Vx 'I ' 9' f. THE HAUNTED GARRET. Sir Catlett sat in easy chair, With thoughts so deep he pulled his hair. Broad classic wings from Somewhere lsles Flew round his head fantastic styles: And there was silence reigning deep, A dreamland stillness courtirigpsleep: It brooded lingered like a pall Throughout that spacious study hall. But hark! Sir Catlett hears a sound, And straightway turns himself around. l-le thrusts his hand behind his ear, And asks himself, What did l hear? But silence Whispered back no word ln token of the noise he heard. - Perchance it is the janitor, Sweeping down the parlor floor. But no, there breaks that sound once more lt's clearer greater than before, No janitor could make such noise--- ult is-it is by jinks those boys! ACT II Up jumped he like a rocket there And leapt he sheer the broad main slair. Across the chapel Hashed a form Portentious of the brooding storm, And then a pause to ascertain From whence those fearful noises came. Hist now! in deep rapt silence stood Sir Catlett: Man of knightly blood. Then crash on crash like Waterloo, Beyond, above more awful grew. Ah now! quoth he Y, M. C. A. Then bounded on his upward way. Twas here opened wide the doorg Twas silence there and nothing more. Twas long he stood thus deeply peering, Twas cruel silence, mocking, jeering. ACT lll And did that silence whisper aught, Or give those walls a secret thought? Could Catlett see through bolted door, Or hear the creak of garret floor, No matter how, 'twas with a key He solved that High School mystery. With mighty hand that mystic door He opened wide and lo! before His startled gaze the secret stood: ln corner crouched a fearful brood, Like statues dumb and petrified Hence had they Hed in Vain to hide. Ah you quoth Catlett full of rage, Act well your parts in attic cage: l see the secret of this noise It is ye girls instead of boys. Come forth ye highland daughters fair, Unto ye Study Hall repair. Let ne'er again your footsteps fall Within this gloomy garret hall. ACT IV Once more did quiet reign within, You e'en would hear a falling pin. The flock was folded safe once more, And all was well as once before. But did you hear a tiny b-i-n-g Or bang or screech or anything? Did something fall or drag itself, Or was it Caesar's awful ghost Performing antics for his host? Sir Catlett hears! He stoops to hear And strikes an attitude of fear, His muscles draw like iron bands, His hair in upright posture stands, The tension on his mighty nerves Draws round his face a thousand curves Save in the twinkle of his eye There is resolve to do or die. But louder, louder grew the brawl When lo! there came a crash and fall: A giant form from somewhere fell From where no one this day can tell. But all agree they saw him pass, And heard the crash of broken glass. POST SCRIPT Twas after all excitement died--- When many hearts were torn and tried, Sir Catlett braved the forms of death, And found their blasts of icy breath Within that garret's dungeon wall, Where only creeping monsters crawl, And no one knew how dark and drear. The way he went without a' fear, Until he found those boys, those boys. Whose awful noise in garret dark, Had terrified the lions heart. And straightway led them one and all To take their seats in study hall And ne'er did convicts out ofjail Look quite so sadly or so pale. MORAL. No more will lads or lasses fair Betake themselves up the back stair. And as to skipping class again-- Well! Catlett said they'd best refraing And lest they should forget some more He placed a padlock on stair door. Laura Moore. EIN LEBWOHL. Ihr Mitschuler, lebt wohl! Ihr lustigen Freunden!

SEPT. I. Goodness me! but there has been a terrible uproar out here all day. I couldn't imagine what was happening for two giants unlike anything I ever saw fmy mother says they are men, came through the halls and raised such a dust storm that I had to run for my life. Then they chased me from room to room cleaning everything as they went. My mother says they are the janitors and that school fwhatever that is, is about to begin. SEPT. 6. If I thought those men were queer, I have certainly discovered a new species that they can't be compared to for strangeness. These creatures are clad in pretty colored dresses and their main object in life seems to be to chew gum and see who can get in the most Words in a minute. I think from what my mother says that is what school is for. NOV. IZ. lVly! but I had a terrible scarce to-day! I really believe my hair has turned white. I went to the Botany Laboratory as I often do to get corn and I got into the midst of a bunch of girls and boys. The minute they saw me some of the girls climbed on chairs and the rest of them and all the boys began dancing around me and yelling all who could, picked up corn stalks and chased me. Finally one horrid boy caught me and put me in a jar and covered the top. I thought I would smother but someone accidently knocked the cover off and before anyone could put it on again Ijumped out and the whole bunch chased me to my hole. I shall be more careful in the future. NOV. 29. Yesterday no one came to school and I thought perhaps school was over, but they all came back today. The only thing I have to be thankful for is that there is no school on Saturdays and Sundays, or at night. DEC. 5. I find I have made a mistake about there being no school at night, for only last night they had school again and I think it lasted nearly all night. I heard someone say it was a lecture. I wonder if that is a new kind of school. DEC. 20. I went up to the second Floor this morning and found my way into chapel. The room was full of girls and boys who seemed to be watching the people on the stage and when they stood up all of the pupils stood up too and made a faint noise with their mouths. After that a man with a white shiny spot on the top of his head stood up and began to talk. Some of the pupils didn't seem to pay much attention to what he said, but just kept right on talking to each other. Then he rang a bell and a girl made the strangest noises come out of a box with keys on it. The pupils didn't like this at all so they all got up and left. I just barely had time to leave before a fat pompous man marched down and opened the door. -A -P'--- - l lil! , v-L. ltr ,Q V JAN. I. Well, all who are able, after their Christmas vacation have come back to bother me. I was sure that they had gone to stay this time. JAN. IO. More excitement! I made a trip to the attic today and while I was explor- ing I heard a faint shriek, and a key was turned in the door lock. In came a bunch of students and they seemed to be trying to make themselves as small as possible. It wasn't long before another key was turned in the lock and the same man who had talked at chapel opened the door. Perhaps he t-:ought it was too cold up there for themg anyway it didn't take him long to send them all down stairs. A JANUARY 20.

I-low dear to this heart are the scenes of the High School, When fond recollections present them to veiw! The chapel, the recess, the hard working teachers. And every loved spot that our School Days once knew. The wide spreading campus, the school that stood on it, The grove and the fieldwhere the boys played at ball! The room of Prof. Catlett, the girls hall nigh by it, And e'en all the girls that primped in the hall. The gong in the hall I hail as a treasure, For often at noon, I return from my meal, I find it has rung to my exquisite pleasure, The purest and greatest that one ever can feel. How often I went to a teacher then scowling, And quick to my seat I would silently gog And then with a look of terrible anguish, The teacher would say, A card for tomorrow. JOHNNIE'S NEW BOOK. Johnnie had a nice new bookg lt's leaves were white as snow. And everywhere that Johnnie went, That book was sure to go. He took it to school each dayg Which was quite within the rule. For who would wish to see a boy, Without a book at school. He left it in the Study Hallg He laid it on the stair. ' ln fact he made that little book, Conspicuous everywhere. l wonder what made Johnnie Hunk? The wondering pupils cried. . Why Johnnie never op'ed that book, The teacher then replied. Then would you make your grade in school, And graduate some clay. You'll have to study some at night, And at your work don't play. ---Jesse Sadler. VX 'XD' sl' A TRIBUTE.

There's somethin' kind o' missin' like about the bachelor's hall, When the daily tasks are over and the time has come for all To try their hands on omelets, tomato soup and such, But to eat your preparations is a little bit too much. For although you try to imitate what mother used to make, When you set it on the table it appears to be a fake, So you join a class in cookin' and good things you learn to mock, When Fidelia's in the kitchen, and there's eatables in stock. Then whene'er you have occasion to make merry for a bunch, Of jolly fellow students who have had a gentle hunch, That your new-acquired ability seeks chances not a few, For showing all your freinds just what a skillful cook can do. You stir up all the common things within a rod about, And call them by some fancy names that cause them all to s' out, But you'll stuff them to their limit---all the whole endurin' flock, When l:idelia's in the kitchen, and there's eatables in stock. is :Vx Q is AN IMPRESSION.

So broad and massive are his shoulders one cannct help but compare them to a handsome old weather-beaten cow-shed. l-lis features are distinct and perfect each standing out as a grand old vision by itself. His high protruding forehead, recalls to mind the steep hills where we go coasting in winter, while his thick tip-tilted nose makes one think of the great old fashioned hay hooks that grand- father uses on the farm. His deep-set celestial eyes bring to memory the slushy old mud holes where we go in the summer time. ---Qlive Rowe. 4 ' in or 1,4 Warning to people who use packing house products---Harry Hamlet has been canned.
