GRAY Mason I )uncan (iray was born in Cape Vincent, New York, but moved to Rochester in 1886. He here attended the Rochester Free Academy from which he was graduated in 1893. I le then entered the University of Rochester from which he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1897, and was elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. After this he taught for two years during which time he studied for his second degree. In 1899 he received the degree of Master of Arts, lie was a fellow in Latin of the University of Chicago during the next three years, two of which he spent at the University, the other in Kurope studying in Greece and Rome. In 1901 he was called to the Fast High School to become the head of the Classical I )epartment. Mr. Grays work in this department has shown an unusual degree of success for so short a time. Through the organization of the Roman State, he has not only revived the declining interests in the classics, as is shown in the increased registration in that department, hut he has also succeeded in making scholar- ship a basis for school honors. By the encouragement of pleasant social relations between his pupils and himself, by his great personal interest in their welfare, there has been added to the feelings of respect and admiration for the teacher a personal regard and affection for the man. That long life and success to the fullest degree may be his, is the wish of Class 1908. PREFACE W L the class of June, 1908, after having spent four years amongst you in trials and joys, and together battled and strove for Alma Mater, do now, on the event of leaving you, dedicate this memorial of class and school. May it serve as a bond that ties us together and makes our interests one, and as you read the following pages and recount the events of the past year ever hold in mind the class which is to be with you no longer, but whose spirit and influence will ever remain.

There were no supe- rior sophomores to make fun of us. We reigned supreme for one short happy year. We worked a little and played a good deal (for freshmen are but children, and there were just beautiful bannisters to slide down at the Annex.) Even “midyears” couldn't subdue our spirits. Imagine coming into an examination room to find the the ceiling bristling with pens and the culprits, balancing on wabbly desks, trying to knock them down with rulers and pointers. Who could fear an examination begun in a shower of falling pens and a gale of laughter ? And when spring, that teachers’ harvest time for marbles and jack-stones arrived, it brought, in the girls’ study rooms at least, a fresh crop of rubber balls and a new and interesting but short lived diversion. We discovered that every time a ball hit the ceiling it left a beautiful, round, clean polkadot upon it. It would be a great improvement if wc could make a pretty dot design all over the dirty old ceiling. So we gaily set to work. Hut wrath in the form of an unsympathetic study room teacher soon descended upon us, and after that rebuff we gave up any attempt to beautify our surroundings and turned our energies in other directions. All too soon that merry year was ended and we found ourselves, we and our new 08 brothers and sisters from the West Annex, sophomores. Hut oh ! what young and innocent sophomores ! I can close my eyes now and see two little girls kneeling by their locker door and anxiously running their fingers round and round the knob trying to find the “smooth place. Sophmores! Joyously we hurled ourselves into the High School whirl where wc lost ourselves completely, until we at last emerged to find ourselves Juniors. And then '08 burst forth in all her glory. The fame of her athletes spread far and wide. The fledgling orators, who had fought out weighty questions with perhaps more vigor than logic in the old Annex, now began to “speak in public on the stage” and win honors for East High (incident- ally they won the inter-class championship). Not to be outdone by the “brains” of the class our athletes set to work and walked off with the championship in all the different athletic departments. There they hang in the hall now, those banners, witnesses of ’08’s prowess in war. Then we joined with the January class to have our “ Prom.” the social event of the year. Last fall wc entered East High as Seniors, and as Seniors we have been proudly reproducing last year’s record on field and platform, for this our last year must not fall behind. And in after years we may come back to East High, and, walking through the halls, point out this banner and that and say, “ It was my class. June ’08, that won all those championships. And now the graduation stunts have begun. Already “our” Senior Play is a thing of the past. Soon will come the Dance, Class Day, Gradu- ation and the Class of ’08 will go, leaving only a few old landmarks behind. Soon dear old East High will know ’08 no more and another class will take its place. £or four short years 08 has laughed and sighed, worked and played, and now '08 is gone, soon to be forgotten. “ ‘Tis hut a tent where takes his one night’s rest, A sultan to the realm of death addressed ; A sultan rises, the dark Karrash sounds, And prepares it for another guest.” M.

On the football gridiron have our trusty gladiators fought with might and main to a most glorious finish, namely the victoiy, for it was nothing short of a victory, though the score brought no decision, over our formidable rivals from the othei side of the city in a contest featured by the pluck and true spirit of our heroes in moleskin. Basketball and track victories were occurrences of weekly event during the winter season. 1 say track victories, not be- cause we landed third place in the Interscholastic Meet, but because the team which represented East High on that day, displayed that true indomitable spirit throughout the season in the face of overwhelming odds and numberless handicaps. Baseball proved itself another field for East High victories and our ball tossers showed their complete superiority over their numerous rivals, Masten Park for the first time in years falling a prey to East High prowess. On the debating platform the school met with the ac- customed successes and reverses. For the first time in three years Syracuse High School was checked in their path of victory, our lads carrying off a glorious victory in the way of a unanimous decision over their old time rivals. Though Masten Park bested us, the girls’ team came off second best, and the much desired Amherst alumni cup traveled across the river. East High can well be proud of the work put up by their debating teams and hard and conscientious effort which they put in for love of Alma Mater. In other ways too has the past year been a banner one in the history of East High School. The developement of true school spirit is the most noteworthy achievement of the entire student body and it has resulted in the loyal support of the football team, a most successful cheering season, the support of all athletic teams and organizations, the debating society in par- ticular, and a general appreciation of all high school privileges. Especially in this column do we wish to recognize and show our true appreciation of the Alumni Dramatic Association who by their successful presentation of the “College Widow,” were material in rendering financial assistance to the school.

HOCKEY TEAM Girls’ Basket Ball Team We have a Girls’ Basket Ball Team of which we may well be proud. Although it had not won all of its scheduled games, it played these in such a high-class and excellent manner that we may well boast of them. The Coach, Miss Laura C. McAllister, worked hard and faithfully in coaching the girls. Much credit is due to her for the team which represents us in girls’ athletics. Therefore to her we give a big Rah yell and a shower of thanks. Our Captain, Miss Edna Stiefel, is our best player also the largest individual scorer. She has successfully captained the team and before enter- ing the games she would put such good East High spirit into the girls that they would play right through the game thinking of East High spirit. She is well thanked by the whole school. Miss Alice Harman, the Manager, deserves much praise as to how she brought the season to be so successful. And now to the rest, all worthy of high praises, did excellent work. They are Miss Gladys Keyes, Miss Eva Wannamacher, Miss Florence Locbs, and Miss Ethel Howell.

DEBATING TEAMS Assemblies JZ? AIAHE School has been most fortunate this year in having heard many well-known men and interesting speakers. Wc have had Mr. Rust, of The Second Baptist Church, with us twice, once when he gave a very interesting talk on Appreciation,’’ again when he presented Patrician Pins to certain pupils of the school for excellent Scholarship in Latin. Superintendent Carroll spoke to the school once during the year and we all are very sorry not to have heard from him again. Mr. Aylcr, physical director of the Cleveland High School, took as his topic : “Above all, Play a Good, Clean Game,” and we heard many helpful suggestions from him. Two very interesting lectures were given during the year, one on ‘The Congo Free States” by Dr. Clarke; another, illustrated by stereoptican views, on “Burma” by Mr. Geis. YVe also heard a very instructive hygienic lecture bn “Tubcrclosis” by a member of the State Board of Health. While in town President Taylor of Vassar College very kindly consented to speak to the school. We have also had several of our alumni with us; Coach George Sullivan, Mr. Morris Clapp, Captain of last year’s Foot Ball Team, and Mr. Embry McDowell. Oscar Kaiser, our cheer-leader, had the enthusiasm of the school with him and there was scarcely an assembly morning during the foot ball season that the hall did not resound with the East High foot ball songs and yells, and further pleasure we have had in hearing Mr. Guernsey Curtis sing ami Mr. Arthur Williams' cheery words of encouragement or praise which oppor- tunity wc have had often this year. To them the school is indebted for two of its snappy foot ball songs and we are truly grateful to these two loyal alumni for the hearty support they have given their old Alma Mater. Wc also welcomed a more recent alumnus, Mr. Lester Wilder, who presented patrician pins to the deserving ones. Other interesting occasions of a similar nature were the presentation of last year’s debating pins by Mr. Partridge and also of the purple R’s won in Football by Mr. Whiteman. After the Thanksgiving Game there was the usual Football Assembly when the heroes of many battles were struck dumb by the thought of a speech. We also had another lively day when January, 1908, turned out in all her glory and gave us a taste of real class spirit. The Friday before Christmas vacation the school had something novel in the way of entertainment when Dickcn's Christmas Carol was presented b the Elocution Classes. We have had opportunity during the year to hear often from the Orchestra anil Glee Clubs and also an excellent program by the West High School Mandolin Club. On Arbor Day Mr. Norman Stewart, another East High alumnus, spoke on ”A Profitable and an Unprofitable Vacation.” For some weeks we have been very much interested in hearing “Current I opics” from different members of the student body. Wc all feel that our Assemblies this year have been most profitable as well as interesting, and most sincerely hope that we shall have the good fortune to have with us again many who have spoken from the East High School platform this year.

The Class of nineteen eight 1 , MARGUERITE REED .• •. Sw jr MUSICAL w f ..CLUBS.. If THE Annual Concert given by the Musical Clubs on May 29th closed one of the most successful seasons that the organization has known. During the year both the Orchestcr and Glee Clubs appeared several times in the city and in the towns around it, and upon all occasions they were very favorably received, which reflects no little credit on our conductor, Mr. Ludwig Schenck, under whose direction the organization has been working since last September. An effort was made to create an interest and longing for music which would instruct as well as entertain. In this the Clubs have been studying, together with the “popular music” which is played for a few months and then sinks into oblivion, works of a more serious nature which live for ages and the more they are heard the more they are enjoyed. Of this class the following have been studied: The Overture to Oberon by Weber; The Hungarian Dances by Brahms; The Dance of the Bayaderes and the Wedding Procession from the Opera Fcramos by Rubenstem; Beethoven's First Symphony and a Selection from Gounod’s Faust. The hearty applause and appreciation which they have received seems to signify that the organization is working along the right line and has attained to a slight degree, at any rate, the end for which it has been striving. The year has been one of success for the Girl's Glee Club of our school, not only in their work but also in their social success. The girls have worked hard and in earnest, showing the best kind of East High spirit in their regular attendance and faithful work. It is true that the results do not have many chances to make themselves seen at school but the Club has appeared in society several times this winter. I he first engagement was an invitation to sing at the Annual Mothers’ Meeting at the First Methodist Church. The second was an invitation to the First Church of Christ where they met a most cordial welcome. At the Parsells Avenue Baptist Church and Odd Fellows' Hall the girls also took part in entertainments. They now have engagements accepted for Spencer-Ripley Church, Monroe Avenue Methodist Church, and St. Thomas' Church at the Pinnacle Club House, besides our own annual concert on the twenty-ninth of M ay. This is a marked improvement over at least the last two years, and has lifted the standard of the club to what it formerly was. Let us hope that in the future this record may be kept up.

Weaver ORCHESTRA f T IS indeed a pleasant realization that the long laborious school days are temporarily over and that the days ahead of us are free, free from the hard study, the monotonous class room hours, in fact a general liberty from the heavy responsibility which devolves on the high school student and there is awakened a feeling that the time is ours and we arc at liberty to roam about enjoying nature's rich bounties and the freeman’s great privileges. We feel almost like a bird turned loose from a cage after a long captivity and wc seem at first almost at a loss as to how to make use of our acquired freedom. Then again comes the ever true thought in our minds, Is not the most genuine to be happy and to enjoy life,doing something useful for ourselves and the rest of the community,” and acting on its guiding principles wc seek some vocation whither our inclinations or desires may lead us, some who appreciate the gifts of nature turn to the wooded hills and lakes, others bend their efforts to the mastery of business and still others take up different channels of work. Let us therefore in this glorious vacation time seek to make the days and hours useful with a view toward building up our mind and body and developing true and noble characters. CURSES! CURSES!

S THIS last installment of this column of correction goes to press, the 1 Spectator climbs down from his lofty chair and becomes a common student. The last agony is over and he sincerely hopes that some of his suggestions may have reached the hearts of a few of his loyal readers and made a slight impression. Examinations! How that word and the accompany thoughts affect us. Some have a great dread and fear of them, others don’t care and perhaps a few grinds are glad of a last opportunity to further display their knowledge. But what comes after the dreadful week is of much more interest to the majority. Twelve long weeks of bliss before beginning the grind again. Perhaps not bliss for all but the greater part at least. The Athlete will either go to some watering place and display his great powers or to the brickyard and gain further strength to enable him to break more hearts when he returns to the football field in the fall. The Fusser will hie himself to a seaside resort and astound those present with his fine clothes and pleasing manner and before fall will have a large following at his heels. The Grinds, however, will feel quite at a loss for some time as to how to spend the summer. They will in all probability go to some summer school and prepare for another campaign in the fall. But Oh ! what will become of the industrious Roman Citizen ? No more trials, elections nor banquets for three months. How can he stand it ? But never fear, he will industriously work to find a case for some new trial or activity to again bring his beloved state before the eyes of the long suffering school. But to get down to actual fact, the great subject before many of us is the deciding of our life work. What shall it be? Doubtless many have already mapped out the road which, if carried out, will ultimately lead to success, but there are many others who have the question to decide. The usual way to decide it is ; first—are you going to college ; second—what course to take if you go. Shall it be literary, business, scientific or en- gineering ? Already the Spectator can sec in the future the incoming stream of successful men, all graduates of that beautiful school, our dear Alma Mater! The question is apparently a difficult one, but should not bother the stout heart of an East High graduate. How can he help but be successful and bring more honors to the school which started him on his career. As the Spectator brings this last spasm to a close and lays aside his “ Specs and pen ” he wishes his successor the best of luck and to the school paper the greatest success. Sincerely yours, David Samson, ’08, Spectator. The Attempt r I A11E momrni, amir ipatnl and dreaded for three long year , had come at last. It was X this that Mary decided a she left the lirt'e stone school house and walked thought- fully home. For three long year' she had harbored one hope, one ideal, one prayer—and now the moment had come when that ideal was to be either realized or shattered. Mary was a farmer’s daughter. She was not afraid of hard work, and like most other people who do not fear it, she loved the farm and the farm life. It had meant to her an awakening, a springing up of a new idea, a new understanding within her—the under- standing that in life was a choice % and Mary chose. This was why, that for three year after she had finished the ordinary course deemed necessary, she had studied faithfully, doggedly and secretly on, with one aim in view—a college education. It was with some help to he sure. Such an undertaking could not have been even thought of without guidance and encouragement, and the kind district school teacher had supplied this deficiency. And this spring day when Mary had gone to return some books to her, Miss Alway had told her that at last she was qualified to try the entrance examinations of the university in a neighboring city. The moment that Mary was dreading was the moment when she would tell her father of her desire and hope, and the moment, when with one word he would make either pos- sible or impossible that for which she had paved the way. When the supper work was done she sat down in the dining-room and waited. Her mother and sister were sewing, her two brothers ami the hired man were discussing a new farm machine quietly in the corner, but her father had not yet come in from the barn. She took up a piece of mending and bent over it, but her heart throbbed and her hands trembled so that she could not thread the needle. Then came the sound of footsteps crunching along the gravel path. The wood-shed door stuck a little and Mary could tell that a very vigorous push was necessary to open it. And then it seemed as if every footfall through the kitchen into the dining-room was recorded by the beating of her heart. Mr. Turner sat down with a sigh of relief after his hard day’s work, put on his glasses and look up the Farmer’s Chronicle,” his favorite paper. Then Mary spoke— ” Father! ” Mr. Turner looked at her inquiringly over hi spectacles, but something in her pale face and in the unusual sparkle of her eyes made him put down the paper and listen attentively to her little story. But Mary,” he said, when she had finished, none of the rest of us have had a college education and we’re all contented.” ” Oh but father, don’t you see ; ” she sprang up and stood earnestly before him, and her voice was low and pleading but seemed to vibrate so with sincerity that it sent a thrill through each of her little group of listeners. Don’t you know that we aren’t all just alike ? You’ve never hoped to go to college and so you just don’t understand. The thought of being for four years under the influence of men and women who have devoted their lives to the subjects they teach, and the thought of having them teach you what they have learned doesn't mean anything to you, just because you don't long for it. But it means much to me. It’s not just a fancy—it’s real and true, and Oh father! if you’ll let me go I’ll show you. I'll jiroir to you that you’ve not made a mistake.” The old man sat for a few minutes thinking and then he spoke: Mary, we don’t know that you are intended for that kind of a life. S'ou’re so quiet and hashful son of, that you've never spoke or read papers in the church meetings, and you’ve never written anything, so how can we tell you aren’t just meant for a farmer’s wife ?” Just then his eye fell on the ” Farmer’s Chronicle.” He paused and seemed to be thinking seriously and when he spoke it was very slowly. But, Miry, I’ll tell you what, if you can write something that the ‘Farmer’s Chronicle’ will print, then—then I guess you can go. Then you see we know if you was really meant to be studious.” The girl murmured “ Thank you ” fervently and stole quietly to her room. Oh ho v she would try. She sat down by the open window and looked out across the moon-lit fields to where the woods loomed up big and dark, and there, with the inspiration of a calm still night, she planned a story. During the following week it was written, copied and sent to the “ Farmer’s Chronicle.” The editor of the ” Farmer’s Chronicle ” sat in his noisy, dusty office with Mary’s manuscript in his hand. It was just a simple little story of country' life, but it was so pure, so sincere and so true that every word seemed to fairly throb with the life of the fields anti woods. The neatly written pages fell unheeded on the desk and the editor was a boy again —a boy lying in the shade of a tree, while the same soft murmuring rustle of leaves came to his ears and the gentle wind swayed the corn tassels gracefully to anti fro ami wafted the fragrance of honeysuckle and clover to him. He came back to the noisy world about him with an effort and picked up the story again. ‘‘The person who wrote that is a genius,” lie said. “Only a genius can tell the truth like that, he added decidedly. But would the subscribers to the ’ Farmer’s Chronicle ’ appreciate it ? Would anything so simple and so full of the life to which they were accustomed appeal to them ? ” were his next thoughts. He smiled to himself as he shook his head. Then he took up his pen to write the author a few words of encouragement, praise and advice as to where to send it, but just at that instant a prominent business man was announced and Mary’s manuscript was sent back without that little note which would have meant everything to her. Each day for the past week the girl had been eagerly waiting for the mail carrier’s visit, but each day failed to bring what she longed for. Then one «lay the ol«l white horse that jogged contentedly, drawing the old-fashioned mail buggy, brought her a large, thick envelope, and she knew the worst—her story was returned. She stood by the roadside and watched the top-buggy disappear in a cloud of dust—the buggy that had just left her fate at her door. It was the bitterest moment in her life. It was the moment when she saw her whole future stretched out before her—her future as she had planned that it would no be. For a few seconds the slender figure in the blue cotton gown shook with suppressed sobs. Then slowly she walked back to the house. That evening Mary saw her father walk alone down the lane that led to the gar«len and she slipped out after him. He was just admiring the sturdy little rows of lettuce and radishes, when she overtook him. Father! Mr. Turner looked up from the lettuce and radishes to her pale, drawn face. Father, I've—I’ve failed, she said quietly. He patted her shoulder kindly. Never mind, Mary',” he said, but you see father no right after all.” Right! The word came like a blow. It wasn't right, it was an in- justice, a wrong, a cruel, cruel wrong. It couldn't be right to make her give up all now. to force failure upon her after all her faithful work, to ruin her life! Then her inborn awe and reverence of her father and her respect for the smallest word that came from his lips, took possession of her and crowded out her sense of injustice. “ Father has always been right and it may be—it may be he is right now, she said to herself, but it was with drooping head and a heavy, downcast, hopeless heart that she walked slowly back to the farm house. J. L. S.. Jan. ’09. THE BATIN SOCIETY 11 E past year has been the most crowning success in the his- tory of the school debating society from both the standpoint of attendance and interest. The average attendance at the regular meetings has increased almost two hundred per cent., Room 47 being taxed to its full seating capacity every Wed- nesday afternoon so that there was a temporary project under way to hold the meetings in the assembly, a thing which would have been a crowning victory for the organi- zation. From point of interest there was a marked improvement over former years, the debates which were held being of the nature which attracted universal interest while the impromptu debates showed that there was much latent talent in the school for extemporaneous speaking. Parliamentary drill proved to be the same old success, popular with the society members, and tending to educate thoroughly in Parliamentary law. The feature of the year’s work was the series of inter- class debates in which June 1908 carried off the premier honors, though the class of January 1909 gave them a close race for the laurels. The officers for the society in the past year have been: First Perm—Oscar Kaiser, president; Alexander Davis, vice-president; Irene Bier, secretary-treasurer. Second Term—Oscar Kaiser, president; Jane Farley, vice-president; Irene Bier, secretary-treasurer; David Schoen- berg, chairman of executive committee. The Nature Club FIVE vein ago, amid the enthusiasm natural to entering a new and beautiful school building, the Nature Club was organized. But two meetings were held that June, at which the club was merely organized. In the fall the club began a more active life, under Roy Anthony as president. Probably the most peculiar difference between the organization of the club then and ( •, was the division into sections. At first there were five of these—the Astronomy, Botany, Geology, Ornithology and Zoology sections. Later an Entomology section was added. All of these had a more or less flourishing existence for that year; the Astronomy, Geology, Zoolog) and Entomology sections averaging over a half dozen at their meetings, the Botany section keeping right at the dozen mark, the bird section reaching up into the twenties. I his was, of course, the most successful of all. In it the general president, Mr. Anthony, was most interested. Norman Stewart was the section president, and an abler, more interesting and enthusiastic president could not have been wished for. It was a group of real bird students, and never in the history of the club has better work been done than in that section under Norman Stewart's presidency. At the beginning of the year lf)04, Wilbur Graves was elected president, and for most of the year the same interest was evident that had made the club such a great success. The section work continued, the bird section under Dorothy Carson and the flower section under Anna Fox doing the best work. But in September of that year a falling off in interest was very plain. A large number of the old guard who had founded the club and made it a success had gone. Among them Norman Stewart. Roy Vnthony, Harry Gordon, Lorenzo Davis, Dorothy Dennis and others had left us. There were still a number of interested members, but there were neither the “stars,” as one might say, or the part interested crowd of the year before. Gradually the sections began to fail. The minor sections had been failing for some time, and in January of the following year, 1905, the bird and botany sections were merged, practically making one section of the club. In September, Miss VanOrder, was made president, and the section system formally abolished. During this season, 1U05-6, the club was at its lowest ebb. Meetings were nor held regularly, and when they were held, little or nothing of importance was done. In the spring, Selden May was elected in Miss VanOrder's place. A change became evident in the management of the club. Meetings were held regularly, whether there were three or five or a dozen present (and five was about the average). In the fall Julius Waterman was elected president. Meetings were held weekly except during the colder months. The membership increased greatly ; the attendance slowly but surely. Cpon the walks a good deal of interest was shown, probably because of Miss Lattimore's presence with us, and something worth while in nature work was done both indoors and outdoors. About the middle of the year Mr. Waterman resigned, and the club elected as its president the brother of one of its founders—Hugh Stewart. Throughout the spring the same good work was done, until at the end of the season the club was in a healthier condition than it had been for nearly two years. And now we come to the season just past—the most successful since the first year. Roger Cross was elected as president in the fall, anti the club did well to get such a presi- dent. In the fall, we began with talks from outsiders—Mr. Clark, Mr. Eddy, Norman Stewart and Mr. Carpenter of West High spoke to us. Mr. Carpenter urged on us the adoption of a definite program for the winter’s work. This we did. We began with a brief three weeks study of Astronomy, taking us though the quite briefly, the Con- stellations,” the ” Solar System' and the Moon ” In January vve began on the trees and this study lasted well into February. This was the biggest work of the year. Not only did we have talks from more than half a dozen members but more than half a dozen members became thoroughly interested, and several have gone so far ahead in it that in five months study they have gone nearly as far as others had in a couple of years. During the spring the work lias been in the main out of door work, and several times the number on walks has been so great that it has been found necessary to divide the party into two groups, for a large crowd never sees much. This part of the work is naturally the most interesting, but it should he work that is done not only with the Nature Club, but alone or in twos and threes as well. Some of us, perhaps, think we know a good deal about the woods and fields—think, that at least we know all the common things. Let us take just one instance; You have all heard tree toads. You all know their song. Can you describe one ? Do you known one when you see it ? Did you ever notice what it does with its sides when it sings ? Did you ever notice its throat just before it sings ? If not, don't let another summer pass before you can say. I know a tree toad.” You’d be ashamed not to know a toad from a frog. What's the difference between pollywogs and tad-poles ? You’d be ashamed if you didn’t know a gull. Why are some brown and some white ? Find out!

Roman State S THE years pass by our Roman State grows stronger. This year was no exception. T he students had a live interest in the election and the results show that a remarkable amount of free voting was done. The Equestres had more officers elected than the Populares while the Optimates had a better showing than the previous years. Allan Brewer, Eques- ter; W illis Bradstreet, Populares, were elected consuls. Oscar Kaiser, Populares; Isabel Beeler, Equester, were elected censors. Stella Scniffrin, Equester, was elected pontifix maximus. Over a hundred other officers were elected and all through the year have been performing their duties with efficiency. Owing to the efforts of a very energetic committee the Freshmen have been carefully instructed in the Roman system of government and next year will be elected the full citizenship if they pass certain exams. The Publicum Concilium has met once a month and has decided many affairs of importance. As a result of weighty discussion in this body, two proposed laws were brought before the Comitia Tributa, the first was that the Publicum Consilium should make whatever laws it saw fit; the second, that no Freshman could vote. Both of these were carried. In April a trial of Catiline was held. The ones who took part spent much time and effort to make it the success it was. Catiline was charged with treason. T he prosecution accused Catiline with the utmost severity, the orator Cicero taking a prominent part. The defense made constant pleas and the feelings of the people succeeded in acquitting the defendant. During the last term an enterprise has been started which now promises to be a great success. This is the Latin paper, now known as the Vox Populi. The editors were chosen from the Order of Patricians. Phis paper certainly marks an epoch in our school life. Besides the fact that it shows a growing interest in the classics, it also shows that the students of East High School are making their education deeper and less super- ficial. This is by far the most important step taken so far by the Roman State, and the Class of 1908 may feel proud that it was the one to start it.

Gray PUBLICUM CONSILIUM A Story of Army Life 'T'HE old post lay in a glow of color, shortly after “retreat on that evening in early July. It seemed to Ned Mitchel, as he stood for a moment resting his hands on the railing of the porch, as if the glory of the sunset had suddenly burst forth from the west filling all the world and encircling him. The air was cool and soft but absolutely motionless. The birds that thronged in the oaks and nut trees which half concealed the little row of officer’s quarters had ceased their chirping. Mitchel could hear the soft lapping of the river which lay on his right, rapid but peaceful as far as the eye could see, and broadening out toward the mouth where Fort Niagara had stood for nearly two hundred years guarding the northern frontier. Now its waters reflected the deep rose and purple of the sky with great black shadows under the trees and high, steep banks of the Canadian shore. Now, too, one of the new turbine boats was gliding softly up to the dock across the river, her lights twinkling out brightly against the darker tints around her while the striking of her engine bells sounded dis- tinctly over the half mile of water intervening. All at once there was a sound of rapid steps on the hoard walk. Mitchel straightened up an«l returned the salute of the orderly who was addressing him. I Lieut. Green, in, sir ?’ “ Yes, he responded, going to the door of the house and calling to some one within “ Fresh, here, your detail for O. I).” “All right, orderly,” replied the second othccr appearing in the doorway and taking the paper. “ Fine evening, Kid, ’ he remarked to Mitchel, settling himself in a chair ami planting his feet on the railing preparitory to a smoke, the “makings” of which he drew from his pocket. I suppose you're going to take Marion to the hop to-morrow ? ’ Mitchel smiled hut remained silent. “That’s right, make love to the K. O.’s daughter,” continued Green with a laugh and a yawn. I wish 1 could cut you out but I haven 't got sufficient energy to play the “ spoonoid.” “I say. Kid,” looking keenly at the other. “General Buckner's coming to-morrow.” “Confound it, as if practice marches every' week in hot weather weren't bad enough, and target practice just finished, too. What next will they send to torture us poor devils ? It's toe blamed hot for reviews. Oh, you can laugh hut you’ll be O. D. and get out of it, lucky dog.” Ned kicked a hook out of his way and viciously began to roll a cigarette. “You can take my sword, to-morrow, if you want to,” offered Green magnanimously. “What’s your game? ” demanded the Kid suspiciously. “No game at all,” replied Green with a blush, “Lucy Sheridan will be in Buffalo to-morrow.” “But the General is really coming ? Well-” “Well, of course you want to be Officer of the Day—take my sword, there’s a good bov. I’ll see the Major the first thing in the morning. By the way did you hear how he jumped on to Liz at drill ?” “No,” Ned chuckled with anticipatory glee and blew a ring of smoke into the air. Thui forgetting the original topic the two officers sat smoking and talking for hours, while the twilight darkened and over in Canada the frogs began their dismal croaking. A pris- oner followed by a guard came with his ladder to light the lamps along the row. The soldiers in the barracks began to sing, while from the officer’s quarters floated snatches of conversation and peals of laughter. “Tattoo” sounded, “call to quarters, then an interval of comparative quiet and the long, sad notes of “taps” floated over the moonlit parade ground. The lights went out in the barracks and the guard was changed. One by one the «loom were closed and all the sounds ceased. The sentry, pacing slowly up and down, saw only two little sparks on the porch where Mitchel and Green were setting. At last these, too, went out and old Niagara lay sleeping under the beautiful summer moon. The day had been an unusual hot one. The sky was deep blue and absolutely cloud- less. I he trees and lawns looked dusty and the parade ground was scorching. The customary review and reception for the inspecting general and other additional duties had worn the nerves of the little garrison almost to the breaking point and Mitchel, though he had escaped the worst of the ordeal, heaved a sigh of relief as he strolled along the river bank near the edge of the reservation. Suddenly he wheeled about startled by the sound of a horse close behind him. There tearing madly down the road came Marian Andrews on her big horse, Benny Havens. Benny was plainly beyond control and the girl was wild with terror. Mitchel sprang out into the road shouting directions to her but she had lost her head so it was useless. The only thing to do was, regardless of regulations, to run into the town street and try to head them off. He made a dash and attempted to seize the bridle but tripped on his sabre and fell headlong. The frightened animal swerved to the left just missing his head by a hair’s breadth and plunged up a wide lane. Now he began to buck. Marian kept her seat for a moment only. Before the young officer could reach her she was thrown to the ground in an unsconscious heap. Dusty, torn and bruised from his fall, Mitchel dropped on his knees beside the huddled form of the commanding officer’s daughter, then sprang to his feet pale with despair. Kinging back to him across the open came the quick, sharp notes of “fire-call.” His His dutv, according to regulations, lay there. Poor Mitchel! Mis duty to his country— or the girl ? Which must it be ? He gazed wildly at the distant flag, banging lifeless on its white staff against the background of deep, pitiless blue. The General was there. What said the regulations ? The lips of the young man tightened ; he turned again to the unconscious girl beside the dusty track. —“except in cases of extreme emergency.” he muttered under his breath and picked her up tenderly. She was a dark, pretty little thing, and so light that, in his excitement, Ned scarcely felt her weight. For a moment, with the dark curls of loosened hair falling softly over his shoulder, he wondered that a man could hesitate even for a moment. Just as he reached the village street he saw a soldier from the fort come running down it and hailed him. “ Oh, corporal, stop! Wait a minute there! ” The astonished man stopped and saluted. “Tell the doctor to come up to Ellis at once. Miss Andrews is hurt.” “ Very well, sir! ' The corporal saluted again and “ double timed ’ toward the fort, while Mitchel made for the nearest house. Here, with a word of explanation, he left his charge in friendly hands. Then he, too, ran as he never run since the days when he played on the West Point “ eleven,’ but it was no use. Before he had gone half way the recall sounded and poor Ned slowed down dripping with perspiration and walked on to meet the just wrath of his commanding officer. Of course a few words would put it right, but on this day of all days, it would spoil the good record of the hattclion, for which down in the bottom of his heart Mitchel cared every bit as much as the stem but kindly, old major. Major Andrews was standing on his porch looking very black when the Officer of the Day appeared before him, raising his battered cap in friendly salutation. In his blind rage the Major did not even notice anything unusual in the younger man s appearance. “Were you in the fort when ‘fire-call sounded?” lie thundered without further formality. No, air,” stammered the lieutenant, standing attention and looking very much taken aback, 111— That will dn ! Proceed to your quartern in arrest at once, air. Mitchel hesitated for a moment, saluted stitlly and turned on his heel, livid with anger. Poor Xftl ! It was pitiful, yet at any other time it would have been inexpreesiblv funny. Down the long, oak-a haded line he walked with head up and shoulders back aa if lie were at parade, utterly unconscious of his di.-l levelled attire. Past Captain Chilton's, and lie gravely removed his cap to the ladies in the yard; past the chap- lain's and the adjutant’s—almost to his own uuartere—then his chin fell forward. He almo t ran the rest of the way, stumbled up the steps and thing himself face down- ward upon the couch in the hail. Ned's anger was gone for the time and only the shame remained. His shoulders heaved convulsively, a hard, dry sob row in his throat, for a moment he fairly writhed. Suddenly his wild, passionate rage returned, lie sprang to his feet and pared savagely up and down between the sitting room and the hall. “ It’s rank injustice ! ’’ he cried. “ Ii he’d only given me a chance to explain. Now Pin in arrest and I've got to stay here until he sees fit to cool down, d-him ! When Marian comes to, she may toll him that I tried to stop the horse—but, good heavens, that may not be for hours and even she doesn’t know anything that hap- pened after she was thrown. Poor little girl. Again the sunset gun hud fired und the doctor was just gathering up his instru- ments. Marian Andrews, with her broken arm swatted in bandages w as comfortably ensconced on the couch in her own parlor, whither she had been brought in the hospital ambulance. I h r father and mother and the kind hearted old General were hovering about her regnrdless of the ruined dinner ii| on which Mrs. Andrews had put so much thought earlier in the clay. “Well, tell us all about it, now. How did you come to get thrown ? demanded the Major. “Why, a piece of old newspaj er frightened Benny Havens,” explained Marian, “and he ran and Mr. Mitchel tried—’’ “ Mitchel? What did Mitchel have to do with it?’ ’ shouted her father excitedly. “ lie was walking up by the end of the reservation and he ran out into the road to stop Benny Iluvens, hut he knocked him down and then began to buck—-and I don't remember anything more. Wasn’t Mr. Mitchel hurt? Major Andrews face was a Htudy. “Doctor, he asked, turning to the surgeon without noticing her question, “who told you Marian was hurt? “Corj onil Sanders of M company, was the brief reply. “ I'll send my striker after him, said the Major shortly while the listeners gazed at him in blank amazement. Fifteen minutes later Corporal Sanders presented himself at the front door. By Major Andrews' express orders he was ushered into the parlor where he saluted ami stood blinking with astonishment. Who sent you for the Doctor, Corporal ?’’ detnended the Commanding Oflicer. “ Lieut. Mitchel, sir. “About what time was it and where were you? “It was a little after four, sir. I was about by Ellis'on my way hack from town, sir. “That is to say, ulxmt the time fire-drill took place? “ Yes, sir. “ How did Lieut. Mitchel know Miss Andrews was hurt ?” “ Way. lie was the one that found her, sir. That is all, thank 3 011, Oor|K ral. You may return to your quarters. Very well, sir. The Corporal saluted and withdrew. With a look of appeal Marian father turned to the General who was still in the dark ns to the meaning of the scene. General Buckner, ’ hesaid, feelingly, “ this afternoon, without giving him any opportunity for explanation, I placed Mitchel in arrest for being absent from the fort. The General's face grew grave for an instant. “—And I order his imme- diate release, he replied extending his hand, “and congratulate 3 011 that the affair went no farther. The absence from fire-drill of the Ollicer of the Day will he over- looked in my report. Thank you, General. As the Major spoke, a cannon loomed in the distance and through the open window floated the stirring notes of the Flag Salute. ADVERTISEMENTS Our Advertisers Merit Your Closest Inspection 'T'HERE is at lea£t one profession that is 1 not over-crowded and it is one that es- pecially appeals to the high school graduate The demand for commercial teachers is so urgent and the number of persons prepared to do such work is relatively so small that it is often impossible to find suitable candi- dates for the congenial and remunerative positions for teachers of the commercial branches in high schools and leading business schools throughout the United States. ----------------------THE--------------------- Rochester Business Institute has a special department for preparing young men and women for commercial teaching. This department is conducted throughout the entire school year. A special summer school session for commercial teachers opens this year, July 6th and closes August 14th. Students wishing to enter the regular commercial and stenographic departments of the Institute have the advan- tage of receiving their instruction from a teaching force of exceptional ability, fully equal to the task of giving ad- vanced instruction to commercial teachers. This school is just completing the most successful year of its history. Many more high school graduates and under- graduates have been enrolled this year than during any pervious year. The regular fall term opening of the forty-sixth school year will occur Tuesday, September 8, 1908. Our new illustrated catalogue gives full particulars. Y. M. C. A.
