THE GRADYATE TH IRTY-ONE Edwin, and he was industriously studying the much loved History of English Literature. As the minutes slipped by, after Miss Bas- sett had tapped the bell, I was aware of approaching footsteps. From out of the hall, came Leslie, just in time for his English class. With these words Miss Bassett greeted him, Leslie, please remove your refreshments. As I had a lesson to prepare, I had no more time to spend with the Juniors. However, that evening as we were grouped in the assembly ro-om, word came that we were to practice for the play that evening. Oh, no, came quickly from the Juniors. Were going to have a party this eve1:l1.g. What, another party? I thought you just had one the other night. Oh, well, that's nothing, we have one about every week, responded the Juniors. The next time l heard Mr. Goldsborough give a lecture on the necessity of putting all your spare time on school work, l' concluded that he heard of the rapid progress the .luniors had made in Society. And this is the way they spend their days. HELEN RUGGLES. llinllwstir , Srirnre Since this is the first year that Domestic Science has been taught in the High School in a practical way, perhaps the people will be interested to know what we have done during the year. This class is conductd by Miss Jennie Crane. 111 our kitchen are six tables, with places for two pupils at each table. Each person has one drawer, a bread board, and a writing board. In each drawer are: egg beaters, knives, forks, spoons and measuring cups, a utensil tray, and various other things, of use in the work. In addition we have two stoves, a cupboard, a set of dishes, silverware and a complete outfit of kitchen utensils. On the first three days of the week we cook or have text book work, and on the other two days we sew. For Hve cents, we have served a warm dish each VVednesday to pupils bringing their dinners. This money has covered the expenses and given us a surplus which was used in purchasing other necessary articles for our kitchen. This has taught the girls economy and the possibility of serving good food at little expense. Besides this we have served a number of ten cent dinners and also one for twenty-live cents to the teachers of the township on Institute day. At another time we served a dinner to the teachers of the Chesterton School. Two new sewing machines have been install- ed for the sewing class, which have enabled the girls to do more of their sewing in school and to learn the method of making all the stitches and seams. We have made, during the year, our kitchen outfits, sewing aprons, curtains for the kitchen, silverware cases, mats, dish towels, many of our Christmas presents and a part of our Graduatio-n clothes. This is only the beginning of the Domestic Science Course in the Chesterton School and it is hoped that in time it will be enlarged to a full four years' course. GALEN BROWN.

THIRTY THE GRADUATE I he qgurpnse of a fttgrahuatlf' Just why we publish a Graduate seems to be a question in the minds of a great many peo- ple. Their argument is that it costs a great amount of money and takes the time of the pupils from their school work. In fact most people think that these books are published because it is a custom and the class must abide by it to save its reputation. This is one of the direct reasons. Indirectly our reason is the same as that which established the prede- cent. Now what was this reason? Might it not have been the educative value which was acquired by writing essays and articles? Again it might have been for the purpose of joining the class together in a common effort to make a success of this undertaking. It is true that it takes money and time but it also affords a great deal of pleasure to each member of the class. Then, too, each class hopes to recall pleasant memories to the minds of the former graduates of the school, and by the introduction of a little wit furnish some amusement to the community. Furthermore in future years it will recall the happy school days to the members of our class. For these 1'easons the class puts forth its best effort to make The Graduate a success. With these things in mind, feeling that we have done our best, our class publishes this Gradu- ate. ill ILDRED DILLINGHAM. QA Bag fniilq the muuiurs It was a bright and cheerful day in the spring, and as I wished to take my time in getting to school, I started from my home unusually early. As I was meditating upon a subject for dis- cussion in English, I did not hear an approach- ing bicycle. When I was made aware of its owner's presence I realized I had been over- taken by a Junior, who was none other than Ruben Carlson. He seemed very cordial on this particular morning and in the course of our co-nversation, he asked if any one had passed me. Of course I knew whom he was inquiring for and so I replied that I had seen nothing of Stella that morning. He was seem- ingly disappointed, but went on his way to school. . When I reached the next corner, whom should I run across but another Junior and immediately recognized him to be Cleo, the minister's son. But, as usual, he was not alone, as he had taken quite a liking to the Sophomores of late. He now stood very much at ease with his latest, talking about their Latin C?J Without disturbing them, I D1'0C0eded 1111011 my Way and within a few min- utes was overtaken by Stella. Feeling that I had lingered too long upon my way, I has- tened my steps, but was greeted by What is your hurry, Helen? It's only three minutes to nine. We have plenty of time to get there. Judging from her usual appearance within the walls of the school house at promptly nine o'clock, I felt sure Stella would get me to school in time. .lust as we were entering the side door, we heard a faint cry in the distance and found it to be lll2l.I't1IH,'S. Wl1y! I hurried so fast this morning that I believe I've made it before the last bell. After I had greeted my classmates in the hall, I passed into Room B, and whom should l find but Pearl and Gail, translating Virgil at sight. Realizing that this was no place for me, I made 1ny exit. But alas, when I was about to take my seat. I noticed it was already occupied. Two .Inn- iors had been testing it to see how it would seem to be Seniors. Upon closer investiga- tion, I recognized Marguerite and Raymond. I concluded that they were talking over old times, and therefore passed on, only to behold another of the class of '16.
