lieramun 27 ELIZABETH McDOI.E THE PASSING OF THE SENIORS Once more, as Alumni, we see the names of the Seniors taken from the High School roll and passed over to us. As Seniors these boys and girls will be forgotten, for there will be Seniors still, yet each Senior has left something to add to the heritage of his Alma Mater, and his influence will still be felt in High School. To the Senior, his commencement is a great event. Ile passes out into the realities of life and on this step, per- haps, a destiny depends. Little notice will be taken of what the H. S. course has meant to him. but future years will call into action the reserve force that has been stored up under the guidance of his Alma Mater. Each year more is demanded of the man or woman who takes a place in the great procession of humanity. Whetlier the man be a blacksmith or a congressman, the world requires that he do his work well. Consequently the schools must keep pace with the demand and back of the schools the parents must be able to see the needs of their children. So around a high school commencement more cen- ters than the mere graduation of a class. The passing of the Seniors is an event, inconspicuous as it may seem, ALUMN which affects the world. The progress of humanity is slow, to be sure, yet each child that goes out with a little more learning. a little more culture, changes in a slight degree the resultant of all the forces working together to produce the human race. 'lust now there is a demand for what is termed the l'eople's College. ln past generations only the elect were given ,a high school educationg now all alike, rich and poor, may enjoy this privilege. Vlfith the constant growth of cities and in the complexity of city life, there is need for a department in the public schools where the boy may get the rudiments of a tradeg where the girl may be taught the arts of home making. Yet a warning is necessary, that we do not lay the old aside in tak- ing up the new. The ancient Greeks an'l Romans realized that a perfect de- velopment meant training of the mind as well as training of the hands. And now that the home is no longer the place where the hands are trained, the school must be careful, in its new re- sponsibility, that its older duty, the cul- ture of the mind, is not neglected. The Alumni of the schools are able to do more, perhaps, than any others to secure the proper balance in this two-fold education. Their interests turn both ways, back to their Alma Materg on to the duties that lie ahead of them. So it is that they welcome the co-operation of the class of IQI2.

The first Hlvlnthuse Meeting of the year was held in chapel the day be- fore the dual meet with XVellsville. It did some good, and most of the girls utilized their training under the lead- ership omore.

The vote was car ried by a majority of 185. And wc fully believe it to be largely due to the earnest, unselfish way in which our High School boys and girls worked for it. Master Albert Michels, Senior, re centlv caused a lot of commotion by carrying around in his pocket the news- paper cut of one of his lady friends from Bethany. He .didn't say so, but we suppose it was the wonderful Cleopatra ! The Suffragette number of the Ker- amos received much recognition, not only by local people, but by local papers' as well. Chick Robinson got the credit for it, and hail the fel- a guard around him when lows form an of the six pretty girls came near him. May the midst. At I4tl1, was a big day in our 9:30 a. m., President Taft spoke from the club headquarters in the Diamond. At 12:45 r-. m., Colonel Roosevelt spoke from the platform erected upon Broadway. In the after noon a double-header ball game was played bf' the city team, and last, but not least, was the circus. Ringling llros. showed in Vlfellsville, and thus gave many persons the opportufnitkyfto see that there really was such aihliace. Nearly every student in High School went down, regardless of the rain, that made things disagreeable for a while. On the evening of May 3rd several members of the Senior class were en-- tertainefl at the home of Miss Helen Vlfassman on Vine street. There was one junior and also one Freshman present. The evening was spent in a verv enjoyable manner. Music was thc chief diversion. Several scenes from Yirgil's Aeneid were presented. llowever, the one in which Miss Gerf trude Buchagen payed the leading role of the Sibyl was the one that evoked :ne most an1usement. The boys proved themselves accomplished vocalists by the way in which they rendered several original musical productions. A. dainty luncheon was served, during the course ofwliich talking was by no means un-' heard. At a late hour those present del-arted for their homes after declar- ing the evening a most delightful one.
