Niltvgltllgi There is a Reaper, whose name is Death, And with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow between. Shall I have naught that is fair ?' saith he, 'Have naught but the bearded grain? Though the breath of these flowers is sweet to me, I will give them all back again.' 'My Lord has need of these flowerets gay'g The Reaper said, and smiledg 'Dear tokens of the earth are they, Where he was once a child.' O, not in cruelty, not in wrath, The Reaper came that'dayg 'Twas an Angel visited the green earth And took the fiowers away. The Reaper has visited our High School and plucked one of its fairest flowers. Martha Nyona Pilgrim was born Octo- ber sixteenth, 1893, in East Liverpool. Here she attended school in the grades, and in 1908 entered the High School. At the time of her death she was a member of the sophomore class. A capable and faithful student, she ranked among the highest in scholarship. Kind and amiable in disposition and always ready to do her part in promoting the welfare of her class, she won the love and esteem of her teachers and classmates. The dear ex- pression of her thought, the beauty of her handwriting, the sweetness of her voice in song, and her skill at the piano indi- cated an orderly and artistic temperament. She was a member of the First Presby- terian Sunday School, and passages marked in her bible attest her study of God's word. On March 22, Martha first missed school. She was ill from that time on, although she was able to return to school fora few days. The end came at six o'clock, Monday evening, April 25, 1910. As the sun was sinking behind the green hills, along the beautiful Ohio, Martha's body was tenderly borne to Riverview Cemetery. Green be the turf above thee, Friend of our youthful days, None knew thee but to love thee, None named thee but to praise.

llivranws 173 tion was held, the first in quite a number of years. This was presided over by the last regularly elected president, Mrs. T. Hickey. The first business was the consideration of a Constitution and By-Laws drawn up and submitted by a Committee appointed for that purpose at the last meeting. The report was read by Mr. J. J. Purinton and after considerable discussion was adopted as the Constitution of the Association. The Committee was tendered the thanks of the organization for the work done in this connection. The Association then proceeded to the election of officers for the coming term. John J. Purinton, of the Class of 1879, was unanimously elected President. Mr. Purinton will prove to be a most efiicient officer, as he has always displayed an unusual amount of interest in Alumi matters and can be depended upon to push things. The other officers elected were Vice President, Floyd Richeyg Secretary, Alta Flowersg Treasurer, Frank Judge. An Executive Committee, com- posed of one member elected from each class, is to attend to the business of the Association between meetings. One of the provisions of the Constitution is that an annual meeting shall be held during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. Thursday, December 29, 1910, was decided upon as the date for the next meeting. Another provision of the Constitution is that each member shall pay dues amount- ing to fifty cents a year. All members are requested to attend to this at the earliest possible moment. There was a great deal of enthusiasm evinced at this meeting and the Associa- tion now bids fair to take its place in the community as a permanent institution, which is a consummation devoutly to be wished. ATHLETIC COMMITTEE A committee has been appointed by the President of the Alumni Association, with Will Smith as chairman, to confer with the High School Athletic Association officials and to render them any aid possible at any time. This committee should be able to fill a long-felt want in connection with athletics at E. L. H. S. ahaha? EX-HIGH NOTES The right to wear the University R has recently been voted to Lawrence King and John Elden at' Western Reserve University. Leroy Harries has been chosen for a place on the College debating team at Wooster. Mr. Harries was a member of the Freshmen team last year. The team is said to be an unusually strong one this season. Walter Cope is playing right field on the Varsity base ball team at Antioch College. Many college students were in town at Easter and attended the Alumni Banquet. All were much pleased with the renewed activity in this line. BLASTING His CAREER Church-I feel some concern about my son. Gotham-You mean the one in college ? Yes, you see they are talking of abol- ishing football. Oh, is he a football player ? No: but he's studying to be a sur- ge0n. - Yonkers Statesman. Every discussion of the best age for marriages shows that it is between fifteen and ninety.

PIA O FAKIR EXPO ED A few makers of cheap pianos commenced two years ago aplan by which customers could apparently acquire some- thing for nothing. In other words, they advertised that to the person who would first solve a simple puzzle, or who would perform some trifling service lfor which they would not pay 5 cents in cash? they would issue a certincate valued at 5550 or more. The result of this is that thousands of replies are received which are used for circularizing and a follow-up system. Each person who replies gets the 5550 certificate and it then is discovered that it is only available as part pay on the purchase of a new piano. Of course, the trick seems transparent to the merest child, as it is only necessary to raise the retail price to enahle the dealer to avoid any cost to himself: but even persons ol' average intelligence cannot resist yielding to the belief that a handsomely engraved certificate bearing the mark. value SSO, must be worth something, and they think in many cases that they save money by going to the fakir and buying a piano for S350 and turning the S550 certificate rather than to go to a straight dealer and lmuy a piano for 214300. QI The American Newspaper Puhlisher's Association, in a recent meeting have taboocd all misleading advertising and it is interesting to note that fake contest piano advertising is included in the following list of bunko schemes: 1. Bucket Shops 6. Attacks on Personal Character 2. Large Guaranteed Dividends 7. Guaranteed Cures 3. Massage 8. Matrimonial Offers 4. Fortune Tellers 9. Palmists, etc., etc., etc. 5.
