THE STAFF. VIRGINIA STATE LIBRARY RICHMOND Preface ' sending out the second volume of the Allegiiaxiax the Staff covets the indulgence shown those who presented the first edition. The statement that we are only pupils, and that this work has been confined to our spare moments from regular classroom duties, is sufficient explanation and apology for the quantity and quality of the subject matter. Gratitude is here expressed to our school officials for giving permission for this publication, and to our teachers, both of the graded and high schools for their co-operation in securing photographs, etc., and to all who have by advertisements or other means aided, in any way, the Staff in their work. If this attempt to show forth our school life as it actually is shall awaken happy memories of “School Days” and foster that kind of school spirit which will cause the people of our community to unite their sympathies and efforts in pro¬ moting the efficiency of the local schools, our purpose will have been accomplished.

King in 1909 edition of “Alleghanian. —Ed HE citizens of Clifton Forge have been generous in the promotion of all enterprises for the common good. Especially is this true regarding the public buildings of the city. Probably no community of equal popula¬ tion and taxable values can be found whose postoffice, city hall, churches and school buildings surpass those within our limits. Perhaps in no direction has there been such marked progress as in the construction of school buildings. In 1887 the typical one-room schoolhouses in the different parts of the city gave way to a three-room frame building of some pretensions, which was located on the site of the present graded school building on Pine Street, and in which was consolidated all the for¬ mer schools, and then and there the first graded school of the city or¬ ganized. But in less than ten years this building was replaced by an eight-room brick structure; well equipped and modern in all respects. It was not long till this building was full and several classes were being conducted in temporary quarters nearby. At the end of another de¬ cade (1907) its capacity was doubled at a cost of $20,000. Host of these rooms were immediately occupied by those who had been accommodated elsewhere; and the continual growth was such that at the be¬ ginning of the present session that the high school pupils had to withdraw from this building altogether, leaving it to the 770 grade pupils, and accept rooms equipped for them in another section of the city. But if the plans of our City Council and School Board carry, the high school will open next September (1911) in the new building as shown below. Material advancements, how¬ ever, count for but little un- Present Buildim;. s TEE ALLEGHAXIA .v less such advancements are accompanied by efficient teachers carrying out courses of study which are continually modified and enriched so as to equip pupils accord¬ ing to their special needs. This principle has been applied in our school: First, by the State Board of Education allowing the elective system of subjects to prevail. Second, by the in¬ troduction of Commercial and Teachers ' Training Depart¬ ments. by the loc-al school offi¬ cials. Under this regime pu¬ pils may take any of the follow¬ ing four courses: Commercial, English, Teachers ' Training or Classical. The wisdom of these departures from the former curriculum is ap¬ parent. Pupils of these departments are now holding positions in this and other communities. The brief paragraph here regarding teachers might easily be expanded at great length in telling of their efficient service, but, as special attention is given them elsewhere in this issue it is enough to say here that those in the high school have departmental work as follows: TV. H. Gaver. Mathematics and Science; J. I . Dawson. History: TV. E. Gilbert. Teachers ' Training Department: Miss Hope Y. Hughes. Commercial Department: Miss-Josie M. Payne. English, and Miss Mary Gooch Anderson. Foreign Languages. In the graded school fifteen capable and faithful teachers whose names appear elsewhere look after the welfare of their pupils. The Staff hopes that these teachers both in the grades and the high school may long remain in their present positions, so that the work they are doing may continue to prosper uninterruptedly.

THE ALLEGHAXIAX 13 History of Senior Class HROUGH sorrows and trials we have passed together, and yes there have been even a few joyous times for the unlucky thirteen—the bad class which has tried the patience of all the teachers, and has never yet broken the record of gaining the illest will of both fate and the pro¬ fessors. But I will record as best I can a few, very few, characteristics and the tiniest bit of history of each of the deserving students who have kicke d the obstacles out of the way and are anxiously awaiting the presentation of a sheepskin. Guy M. Turner is the gifted lawyer of our class, who has always been our counsellor in all affairs, be they of war or peace. But the mischief in his eye re¬ veals to us the fact that Guy M. would rather read a Diamond Dick than to ponder over a law book. James Fife Hughes Samples, commonly known as “Sugar, has always gained the good will of all those with whom he has associated. Perhaps it is his cheery disposition or the perpetual smile in his eyes. Fife likes to go to school. Often when we are enjoying a holiday he will sit for hours in the forsaken building, but farmers as well as philosojthers have to ponder over certain things. Raymond Werner is our greatest physicist. We call him “Raymond the Bash¬ ful.” Oh, we have tried so hard to make Raymond like us girls, but somehow it won’t work. Perhaps Raymond’s head is too full of unbounded sciences, or sense, or maybe it’s all in the girl. Preston Hawkins is the boy whom all the girls would love, but you know, “Love no man, not even your brother ; if girls must love, they must love one an¬ other.” But why can’t we love Preston? All the teachers love Preston, but I guess its because he studies and he l ' nows. Ruth and Grace Mahaney, like all the rest of us, have always gone to this school. Ruth, now, “honest injun”-—this is history based on facts—Ruth loves to study. Of course it’s improbable and seems impossible, but nevertheless ’tis true, Ruth loves to study. Malskinner Payne is one of the twin cherubs of the class. She lias loads of dark hair—yes, lots even when she forgets her rats and puffs. They say rats have gone out of style, but I hope not, for they are so essential to Mallie’s good looks. Malskinner can ' t do many things, but gee! she can play. Her music inspires us to do anything, even to climb the Alps. 14 THE ALLEGHAXIAS Grace is Ruth Mahaney’s little sister, ancl. of course, Grace things she is awfully smart to he in the class with Ruth. But some conclude that while Ruth is smarter than she thinks she is. Grace thinks she is smarter than she is. Somewhere, the records fail to state clearly where. Esther Artz was born. But we can soon find out that little Esther is a Yankee by her big fiery brown eyes and her determination to learn her lessons at any cost, that means wild her she likes lessons or not. Sad to relate, Yirgie Atkinson does not love Latin, but she is loving the boys instead. But nothing ever worries Yirgie. She has even bravely gotten over all her love affairs except one with a Western cow-puncher. Yow for modest little Lola, who will not tell what she really does know. That’s a good policy. Lola is bashful, too. in school: but that doesn ' t say that she is out of school. As Lola thinks I am a terrible girl. I am afraid to say much about her, so will leave her for the prophet to finish. Don ' t let me forget Pauline Samples, the girl who never misses school. I have been going to school with Buckie Samples for ten years, and she has never missed but one time from school. She did a rash thing, washed her hair and it made her ill. She lingered several clays, and we were very uneasy about her. but she finally recovered and returned with the same old horse sense. Everybody likes Eva Hartsook. I wonder why? She isn ' t good looking, although she thinks she is. Oh. I bet it ' s because she is powerfully good-natured. She never gets mad, not even at Hassie, who will even stir up the angry passions of our beloved teacher. Yo: Eva likes everybody, and everybody likes Eva. Here is the other twin cherub. Jack: and we must run for our lives, for she either has a snowball or a glass of water. She is always up to some meanness, and we hate for the girl with the black hair and elfish appearance to come around. She is the girl whom nobody loves, but who loves everybody and everything, especially snow and stars. Her name is Haseltine Jaccpieline Leech, such a killing one that we always call her Jack. TEE ALLEGE AXI AX 15 Prophecy of Senior Class CLD that I had the gift of an oracle 5 exclaimed the Prophet of the Senior Class of ' ll as he began the task mapped out for him by the members of his class. “Then, forsooth, would I do much good, and my fame would spread abroad as that of the prophets of old: but alas! tis not so, and I must use the means at my disposal. So much for being a prophet. I must read their future by a plan of my own, and if former observations fail me not. I ' ll not miss their future as far as one would think, but, then, other people ' s thoughts must not enter the Prophet ' s mind, 5 he mused, as he turned to his work again. The girl with the dark brown hair will, I see, become a married lady, blessed with a good husband and a nice home. Miss Eva Hartsook will make a good friend and advisor of Miss Lola Heartbarger, who will teach school in the same town in which Miss Eva will live. Miss Lola Heartbarger will at a later date become the principal of this school, but will continue to live with Miss Eva. (Mrs.- I think it will be Billy). Xow for Virginia Atkinson, a tall, slender girl, who will travel abroad as a newspaper correspondent, meeting a number of the great men of the world, winning fame and a good salary for herself. She will live to a ripe old age, secure in the love and friendship of her friends. All. let 5 s see what the fates have in store for the cpiiet sisters, Grace and Puth Mahaney. I see that Ruth will become a matron in a select school for girls, where her quiet demeanor and gentle voice will make a number of friends. Grace will complete a course with the International Corre spondence School and take a position as bookkeeper for a firm of contractors in our city. Again must I fall into deep meditation, for Miss Esther Artz has as yet shown no inclination for anything at all, not that she is suffering from inertia, but is just not disposed. The signs also are lacking with which to portray her future, but some¬ thing tells me she will live a life of single blessedness, not that opportunity will be lacking, but she will think too much of her work as a Christian Endeavor leader to give it up for a prefix. “Ah, now must thou come to my aid, indeed, Dear Oracle, and raise the veil of Miss Leech’s future life. Ah, I have it now, all is clear. With high aspirations she sets sail upon the tempestuous sea of life, and is borne high by the tide of eternity, reaching the topmost pinnacle of literary fame and journalistic skill, and to her will come the fame and fortune of a deserving woman. 10 THE ALLEGE A.XIAN And now let me see what Miss Mallie Payne can look forward to. Her name will be upon the tongue of every lover of music, for she will be one of the greatest pianists of the coming day. So many people will endeavor to secure her private instruction that she will organize a conservatory. Now I am getting to the end of my task. The last girl is Miss Pauline Samples. She will become a teacher of no little note. Her particular branch of study will be rhetoric. In the latter part of her life she will accept a position as private secre¬ tary for a noted author. And now I must say a few things for Mr. Preston Hawkins, the lad with an upright walk and manly bearing, who will in time become more than the “Average American.” As a doctor he will do much good service and gladden the hearts and relieve the stomachs of many a poor sufferer. Ah, fickle indeed is fortune, for not many will be blessed as our friend, E. J. B. Werner, who, having received an excellent training for an electrical engineer, his immense project for an electric palace on the Hudson makes his name among the great. From far and wide people will admire the splendors of his fantastic creation and marvel at his ingenuity. Fife Samples will become an inmate of the air castles he builds before many years shall have passed, a “soldier of fortune in his twenty-fourth year.” Many and varied are his experiences, fighting the natives of the South Seas, then on an expe¬ dition to the South Pole. Joy will reign supreme in the honest breast of Ikey, our boon companion and jolly good fellow. Ah, my mind groweth weary, the visions and reasoning mount upon the swift steeds of sleep and the prophet must omit his own career; but tandem, est copia. THE ALLEGE AN I AN 17 Will and Testimony of the Senior Class the undersigned do hereby will and bequeath to our successors: First. The love of the girls, but not of the boys; for we cannot bequeath that which we have not acquired. Second. All of our desks and other household furniture, includ¬ ing our dilapidated but adorable laboratory, providing they never stick “chewing gum under the desks or abuse anything that pertains to our laboratory. Third. We bequeath them our piano, providing they never play anything but “ragtime,” and will dust it every day and then between times. Fourth. We bequeath our spacious playground, but never shall our ordinances be abused: “Keep off the grass,” “Don ' t pluck the flowers.” Fifth. We bequeath our pennants in the Assembly Hall; but never will we bequeath the love of the one who gave them to us—Miss Anderson. Sixth. We bequeath to the artists of the High School our famous pictures, which, like the pennants, adorn the walls of the Assembly Hall. SENIOR CLASS. IS THE ALLEGHAXIAX Junior Class Motto —Semper Paratus.

Junior Class. 20 THE ALLEGHAXIAX History of Junior Class HE Junior Class, the largest number of pupils of the local school ever so designated. The class that through two years of High School troubles has met all of them with willingness and zeal, assembled in the new High School quarters on Commercial Avenue on the 19th day of Sep¬ tember, in the year 1910, ready and esfger for its regular duties. This Class, now known as Juniors, first assembled as High School students in September, 190S, and under the able leadership of Miss Josie Payne, the greatest of them all, managed to get over the troubles of the first year unharmed, though we willingly admit that the task was by no means the easiest that has fallen to the lot of these twenty Juniors. After passing through the final examinations of the first year we were given a three months ' leave of absence, after which we returned to the fold and were placed under the newly selected assistant principal, Mr. J. K. Dawson, whose ability as a teacher is well and favorably known around all school circles of this and other sections of the State, and under his watchful eye we managed to acquit ourselves very creditably in the second year as High School students. Our history as Sophomores is too much like that as Freshmen for me to go into detail, and therefore I will only say that most of us got through the final battles of the year uninjured, only a few receiving fatal wounds. After these final tests we were given another three months’ leave of absence, after which we again assembled the following September (1910), tins time in our new quarters, where we are still laboring diligently under the watchful care of four departmental teachers, who were chosen as our leaders for this session. As we are going now we all have bright hopes for the future, and hope in time to attain the honor and glories that our Prophet has so kindly mentioned about us in another part of this issue, and we shall continue to strive hard to be worthy of our motto, “Semper Paratus.” Historian. THE ALLEGHAXIAX 21 Prophecy of the Juniors sitting before the fire one February afternoon trying in vain to slate a passage front C ' ieero I suddenly found myself in a bril- tly lighted dining hall. I rubbed my eyes in amazement and d around at the guests. At first they seemed total strangers, but on closer observation I recognized the faces of my old classmates. The lady whom I judged to be the hostess was seated at the head of the table, and whom after a moment I recognized to be my old friend, Cozette Dixon, who, though her name and face were both changed since last I saw her, I found her still the same old Cosy” at heart. Seated at her right side was a pompous-looking business man. in whom I saw the familiar features of Boland, alias Baldi” Williams. Wext was seated a lady whom by the universal homage paid her and the fre¬ quent references to a famous picture, I judged to be an artist of national repute, and also imagine my astonishment when I recognized her as Miss Eva Tatum. Xext to the artist was a handsome, well-dressed man. whom by his learned conver¬ sation and evident culture I judged to be a lawyer, and by the classic cast of his features I recognized him as Mr. William Humphries, known better to the class¬ mates as Pretty. whose tendency for law and order was discovered early in his life. Xext was a tall, stately matron in whose handsome features I recognized my curly-headed classmate. Miss Bernice Wilson. As my memory was never strongly developed, I had forgotten her former cognomen. M y eyes then fell on a demure face and slight form which could have belonged to no one but my sweet little classmate, Well Thomas. I afterwards learned that she was a noted elocutionist. Then loomed before my eyes the unmistakable auburn head of Miss Bertha Gaboon, whose fate needs no comment, since I am sure it was sealed long before she left the portals of the C. F. H. S. A preacher next arose before my astonished eyes and I had some difficulty in seeing in the dignified features of a clergyman my mischievous classmate, Mr. Ashton Mc-Mullan, popularly known as Mae. Xext came three distinguished looking ladies, whom I recognized as the Iron Gate trio—Miss Florence Robinson and the Misses Lillian and LaRue Minick. They seemed as inseparable as in the old school days, and on inquiry I learned that Miss Robinson was a celebrated musician greatly admired both for her musical 22 TEE ALLEGHANIAN talents and personal charm. Miss LaEue Minick, I learned, was a kindergarten teacher, and her sister, Lillian, shy and modest as ever, was greatly admired by all her business associates. Next came the gentleman in whose pleasing features and curly head I recog¬ nized the old-time mischief maker of the class, Mr. Samuel Green. He seemed to be the life of the party on account of his wit and humor, and I discovered that his present occupation was that of a newspaper editor. Next came a young lady known as the Socialist and Suffragette of the class, Miss Mabel Christian. I learned that she had followed her youthful ambitions and was at present a member of the Virginia House of Representatives. Next came the sweet, demure little brunette of the class, Miss Nellie Duling. As Nellie was somewhat a coquette in her school days, I supposed that she had succeeded in ensnaring some unfortunate ( ?) victim in her net. Next came the girls’ favorite, Mr. William Lewis. He was still the same “Willie,” for time had dealt kindly with him. He was at present a famous con¬ tractor, his greatest work being the construction of a great steel bridge built high above the city 7 of Clifton Forge, from the Heights across to Flag Rock. Then before my eyes loomed the handsome features of Miss Mary Dudley, a prima donna singer. She was formerly known as a very distinguished member of the Talking Club. Then whom should I see but a handsome lady, a perfect type of a blonde, whose curly head betrayed her as Miss Bertie Acord, the girl who always was the teachers’ favorite. At present she is the favorite of some one else. Next came a distinguished looking gentleman known as the professor of Mathematics at Virginia Christian College, and whom I recognized as Mr. Cecil Cahoon, better known to his classmates as “Coonie.” Then came the calm features and clear blue eyes of my quiet schoolmate, Miss Emma O’Connor, who had become a trained nurse in Johns Hopkins Hospital. Hearing a crash, and the table and all disappearing, I awoke to find my book had fallen to the floor and I had only dreamed all these pleasant things. Prophet.

THE ALLEGHANIAy 25 History of Sophomore Class X September, 1909. we entered the Clifton Forge school building to begin our duties as High School students. We had worked hard for this honor, and we are still working. We felt a reasonable degree of pride when we were told that we were Sophomores, thinking it meant increasing wisdom and felt that when we died wisdom would die with us; but after looking up the origin of the word and discovering that it meant “foolish, ' ’ our pride received a pretty severe knock. We had scarcely recovered from this blow when we were further humiliated by being transferred from our beautiful High School building to the Old Laundry. And we felt unlike Diogenes, “We would not live in a tub,” yet it suggested the thought that we might have to make our living “at the tub,” unless we were diligent in our studies in Latin roots, algebraic problems and historical researches, etc. A number of our class were exempt from intermediate examinations, so they enjoyed a week of rest. Our class was not found wanting in doing their part in the literary society. The B division of the First High School joined us after intermediate examina¬ tions, but we had little trouble in overcoming them, and now have them at our command. We now have only two more years of school, so may our ’13 bring us luck. Historiax. 2G THE ALLEGHAXIA X Carnation. Freshman Class Colors —Lead and Bed. Class Flower— Carnation. OFFICEBS.

Monday, September 19th, the High School pupils assembled at the Louise Steam Laundry building. Here they met some difficulties. They had no desks and sat in chairs, putting the books in the lap or on the floor. Another hindrance was the flooding of the school rooms by water. School work had to be suspended until the flood subsided. When school first started the Freshmen settled down to work. They did not stay “settled,” however, for some forgot to work, and consequently were rather ‘• ' unsettled” when examination week came around. But most were “resettled” when they were promoted to the latter half of the First High School. Hear the middle of the term the class met for organizing, elected officers and adjourned. With high hopes for the future, the Freshmen remain, yours truly. THE ALLEGHAXIAy Ciceronian Society Motto —Push with energy; plod with patience; endure with pluck. Colors —Black and Yellow.

Guy Turner was elected President. Preston Hawkins Vice-President, Elmo Smith Secretary, and Wesley Lehman Treasurer. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution, and all members asked to submit a name at the next meeting, as the name “Boys” was not altogether to our liking. The next meeting was held December 9th, a splendid program was excellently rendered, the constitution read, several amendments made and the whole ratified by the society. As no one had a suitable name, a committee was appointed to find one. This they did, and on December 16th the society was duly christened the Ciceronian Literary Society of Clifton Forge. The Society has progressed slowly since its organization, in that it has secured few new members, but otherwise the work has been satisfactory, taking into account the midwinter examinations caused several programs to be delayed in their rendering. On February 3d the boys were invited to hear a program by the King Literary Society. This was enjoyed immensely. Under the head of new business the King Literary Society made a motion that the Ciceronian Literary Society reunite with them. The President appointed a committee to confer with the Ciceronian Literary Society. After a few appropriate words were spoken the society was ad¬ journed, though the President forgot the last song which had been looked forward to with much pleasure. The song was the ‘‘Bonnie Blue Flag.” We think “Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home?” would have been far more appropriate, even though it isn’t classical or “the latest.” 32 THE A LLEG H A MAX King Literary Society Colors —Violet and White.

At first we held our meetings every Friday afternoon in the assem¬ bly hall, but later this was changed, when the boys left us and organized a society of their own, then the boys entertained one Friday while it was our time the next Friday. We had a great many programs, the memory of which still linger with us. but the ones we remember most distinctly were the meetings at the close of the school years 1908-‘09 and 1909- ' 10 and the celebration of Washington ' s birthday. Feb¬ ruary 22, 1909. At the beginning of our school year 1910-’ll we called our society to order in our new school building on Commercial Avenue, meeting every Friday (both the boys and the girls) until the boys again became dissatisfied (the reason we do not know) and left us to organize a society for themselves, in a separate part of the building. We have had a great many delightful programs this year, one among our best being the celebration of Lee ? s birthday. At this meeting the boys came over to visit ns, and really pretended to enjoy themselves. We hope to render many such pro¬ grams in the future, and it is useless to say that the memory of this work will linger with us long after our school days have past. Commercial Department WO rear.- ago this department was organized to accommodate certain mem¬ bers of the senior class who desired to make preparation in the home school for a business career. The instruction was limited to Shorthand, Typewriting and Business Methods. Four students were enrolled, who completed the course. At the beginning of last session more than a dozen students applied for admission to this course, but it is restricted to those in the junior and senior classes. So the present class numbers only eight, four from each of the above named classes. Plans are being made for instruction iu Bookkeeping and such other subjects as are necessary to make the course complete at the beginning of next session. (gJgSEsJ HIS department was organized at the beginning of the present session (1911) for tlie purpose of giving professional training, according to the requirements of the Stat e Board of Education for such departments in public high schools, to members of the senior class and special students who desire to become teachers without additional preparation. This department is also open to teachers and those desiring to become such from other communities. Fourteen have enrolled as members of this class. Two have been called from the school to teach in the schools of Alleghany and Bath counties. EXROLLMEXT. Yirgie Atkinson.

A relation of experience, timely suggestions and pertinent questions have been dis¬ cussed. The members’feel that an exchange of ideas, as to discipline, methods, plans, etc., lias been very beneficial.’ In February the local club entertained the teachers of the Tenth Congressional District, who held their conference in this city. About two hundred and fifty teachers were present. The addresses given by the educators of the State were interesting and profitable. The homes of the citizens of Clifton Forge were thrown open to the visiting teachers with true Virginia hospitality. The following are the officers and members of the Teachers’ Club: Miss Mercer Duerson, President. Mrs. J. A. Quinn , Vice-President. Miss Helen Leech, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Payne, Mrs. Foard, Miss Anderson, Miss Boatwright Mr. Dawson, Miss Smith, Mr. Gilbert, Miss Shelton, Mr. Gaver, Miss Thomas, Mr. Pressley, Miss Sutton, Miss Johnson, Miss Davis, Miss Williamson, Miss Hughes, Miss Artz, Miss Tulloh.

Miss Lena Meeryman, of the Grammar Grade Department, and Prof. J. G. Pressle} r , of the High School, began work too late in the session for pictures of them to appear in this issue. Both have rendered most valuable service to the schools since their coming, and the staff hopes they may return next session to their present positions. Graded School. The Grades 3 X our grades the half-year promotion system prevails. This gives the pupil the benefit of that conscious feeling of progress which attends frequent promotion. Again, those who fail in any given grade do not have to spend such a long and often unnecessary period of time repeat¬ ing this grade. Quite a commendable school interest is being awakened in manv of the grades, and under the leadership of the several teachers and principal, many suitable pic¬ tures and other decorative material have been placed in a number of the rooms. It is to be hoped that this movement may continue to grow. The grounds have been enclosed and suitable flowers, vines and trees have been planted, thus making our school what it should be—one of the most beautiful and attractive places in the citv. 44 THE ALLEHHANIAN Roll of School SIXTH GRAMMAR Boys.

Maphis, State School Examiner, THE ALLEGHAXIAX The Grass Again OW happy the grass seems as tugging playfully at the breast of nature it grows daily in boldness and richness. Its greenness on pasture field and restful lawn mocks the gray of winter. We gladly welcome you who so i generously provides for the nakedness of the barren fields. You are seen everywhere, under the towering oak for baby to play upon, to tickle his toes and tease his feet: there is grass for lawn parties, when a hundred young¬ sters storm the silence with a thousand shouts : grass for egg hunts on Eater-tide, when bubbling boys and gleeful girls play hide-and-seek: grass for lovers on a holi¬ day. when the whispers of love bring a rush of color to the cheek and a lifelong- happiness is born: grass to surround the retreats of the aged, to bring balm to tired eyes, a nd to whisper the word that absolves those who are weary and faint : grass as fresh as the dew of the dawn to spring form the reel clod and to cover the piti¬ lessness of the ruthless grave, to keep it green for eternity: grass to cover the loath¬ some form of a dead body and to praise the gospel of the resurrection. And the grass is here again, the grass that is fit but for the oven, here both today and tomorrow to pity the cares of the weak and nestle comfortingly near to the cottage of the poor. The grass is here to shout to the laughing stars: I. too, am God ' s handiwork. here to adorn the bosom of the world with all manner of beautv and to mock the treac-herv of a heart that is dead in sin. Falling Springs, near Clifton Forge. THE ALLEGE A XIA A The Teacher and Her Pupils X all walks of life there is a vast difference in being the actor and the spectator. Somehow people are given to thinking that their neighbors’ burdens are not as heavy as theirs, nor their tasks as hard. It is 3 o ' clock. The children go skipping and running and the teacher steps quicker as the soft breeze fans her cheeks; each has finished his task in the schoolroom for the day. The children romp and play in the field where the dai¬ sies grow, and the teacher takes a walk or plays some outdoor game, that she may be better pre¬ pared for the duties of next day. When she returns li o m e she finds an invi¬ tation to a so¬ cial and an a nn ounc — m e n t of a lawn party in the church yard. Oh, dear ! She cannot go to either. The children take up a new subject in Arithmetic tomorrow; English is difficult for them; the Geography lesson is map questions and the children seem never to try to find answers for themselves. They will look in Florida for Quebec and in Canada for Atlanta ; they also throw down their Arithmetics after ten minutes’ study and say, “I don’t understand these examples,” when in fact they have not tried. These are the thoughts that pass through the mind of the teacher as she seats herself at her desk to prepare the next day’s work. Supper is over, the children cover the table with books and papers and sigh as they think of the ice cream and cake at the lawn party or hear the merry laughter of the children in the street. They have now worked and worked at their arith- Picture of Field Where Daisies Grow. 58 THE ALL EG HAN IA N metic, but they cannot get the rules; the examples will not come out right. One time their answer is too much, next time not enough. They have worked an hour and have but three examples. Oh! that old composition of a hundred and twenty- five words they have written only a hundred and can ' t think of another word. “This Geography! Map questions! Where is Atlanta? I wonder if it is in New York. Here is St. Lawrence. It drains the Great Lakes. Where is Appomattox? It must run by Appomattox Courthouse. I can’t find half these questions, and she said she would keep us in if we did not know them. If ever I am a teacher I won’t keep anyone in. It is almost 10 o’clock. My eyes won’t stay open. I will study more in the morning.” These are the thoughts of the pupils. Tims passes the school days, but when the nine months have flown the teacher and p u pile alike in tri¬ umph of suc¬ cess, forget the hours they have toiled and the mid¬ night oil they have burned, for as some one has said, “Sweet is pleasure after pain, bright the sunshine after rain.” Yet after all. school life is not all pain and rain, for in after years both teacher and pupil remember even trials with something akin to pleasure, and there remains an affection between teacher and pupils that lives School Life is not all Pain. through life. EilVIA O’CONNEE. TEE ALLEGE AN I AN 59 Present High School Building HE Clifton Forge High School building is a very beautiful one of red brick, complying with all tbe requirements of architectural simplicity now in vogue. Simple it is to a fault, the porticoes were forgotten, and in their place a single step leads to each of the imposing entrances; one of them being a double door of stained glass, while the other one is half panel and the upper part is of plain crystal glass. There are four windows in the front of the edifice, two of them looking out towards an alley, which gives an unobstructed view of the imposing ash-barrels of the residents of Pine Street, while the remaining two allow one to see a beautiful whitewashed fence. The south side is next to another alley, its one merit being that it gives us plenty of light from that side. The rear of the building gives one a delightful view of Frazier’s coal yard and stables. Xeedless to say the piazza on that side is always crowded. The north side of the building is too sweet and cozy to talk about. It is jammed into a dwelling house on that side, and it is just the nicest place in the world to study; you can see so well, and the teachers like so much to put } r ou over there. Well, we sigh, “Oh dear,” and wait. Guy M. Turner. GO THE ALLEGHA XIA A Athletics X ancient Greece athletics occupied a prominent place in the school cur¬ riculum. Xo boy was considered educated in the highest sense whose body was not trained to conform to the Greek idea of proportion, sym¬ metry and beauty. The Greeks realized the fact that a strong, vigorous mind could not be nourished .and sustained by an undeveloped, emaciated body; and that weak, effeminate boys could not make competent soldiers for the country ' s defense. Hence their great interest in athletics as a means to develop both mind and body: the result being a nation of soldiers, athletes and scholars, unequaled in the history of the world. What the Greeks taught and believed then, in regard to athletics, we believe now: that when athletic sports are made a means and not an end in themselves good results always follow. On the athletic field close decisions have to be made, quick judgments formed, skillful plays manoeuvered. all of which can but make those who take part more capable and efficient to solve not only schoolroom problems, but also the graver and deeper problems that sooner or later must be met in life. We are glad to see the lively interest manifested in athletics in our school. We .have a well-organized athletic association of about twenty-five members. Our base¬ ball team is second to no high school team in the country. Out of sixteen games played last season with strong teams, all sixteen were won by our team. Besides the baseball team, we also have a football and basketball team that bid fair to make a good showing when the season opens. THE ALLEGE Ay JAy 61 Base Ball Team, 1910 Player. Position.

Although it did not create an epidemic by its widespread membership, consisting as it did of four members, Malvina Payne. Bay- mond Werner, Fife Samples and Guy Turner, still it did good work for the cause for which it was designed and organized, and we the charter members (Pearl Oysters) truly hope that any further enlargement of this club will be for the ad¬ vancement and enlargement of that one ideal, namely. Class Spirit. We. the charter members, with a feeling of love and tendernss, pity and charity, hope that the ensuing year will be of great popularity and advancement of this most hohorable and noble Oyster Club. The name signifies more than appears upon the face thereof, and that significance will under no conditions be divulged to any¬ one not a member of this “frat, and therefore a Lobster.
