Not that he wanted to crawl out of the warm nest he had made for himself with some straw and old blankets for there was a cold grey mist over everything and a chilling west wind that cut to the bone, but he knew that at this un- holy hour, The Bosches were most likely to cut up. So he responded cheerfully to the call. As he walked knee deep in the mud to his place on the firing line he drew deep breaths of air that for all the west wind felt decidedly springy and gave promise that old winter was fast falling and that summer would soon be here. Feeling much refreshed he took his place in the line wondering how many of the brave fellows around him would be missing on the morrow. Unexpectedly, from the German trenches opposite came an unfamiliar bugle call. Almost simultaneously assembly rang out from behind his own regiment. Assembly! What for? He had not the slightest idea and he was not destined to know immediately, for he was one of those detailed for guard duty. As the soldiers went jostling through the communi- cation trenches to the living dugouts in the rear he lifted his hat on a gun above the top of the trench. To his surprise, the customary storm of snipers' bul- lets failed to come. Mystified, he raised it again and lpage ninel

'-lZl'11-WO Athletics have been supported better at Eastern this year than in several years past. A great deal of this support is due to the fact that athletics have been started among the girls and the interest aroused in them is great. They have proven themselves to be a Wide awake set of athletes. When other methods have failed stick-to-a-tive- ness has brought about favorable results. Be a booster for your school. All material for the last ORIENT before the annual will be called for April 9. If at first you don't succeed, try again. Don't forget that there is to be a Contributors' Page in the annual. Accidents will happen, and in some inexplicable way two important articles were left out of the Feb- ruary ORIENT, for which the staff is truly sorry. The omitted articles were the Society and Council of Thirty reports. In the Society write-up the details were told of the extremely successful German party given at the High School by the members of the German classes, Saturday evening, January 20. After the presentation of a Well enacted German play, delicious refreshments were served to a large number of guests. Musical se- lections were rendered between the acts. The Council of Thirty notice reported their various activities and was very novel in its conception. Ipage cightl

'-l2l'l'1-WO again and finally ventured to peer over. The same sounds of confusion were coming from the opposite trench that he was hearing all around him. Suddenly, it dawned on him that they too were having assembly. He climbed upon a machine gun carriage and looked out on the brown field lying between the two trenches. It was covered with shell holes and mine creators, a pic- ture of the desolation which prevails all through No man's land. It was such a relief from the continual roar of bat- tle, this peace, this quietness. He leaned back and en- joyed the relaxation and tried to account for it all. He took a battered diary from his pocket and then put it back without looking at it. What good would it do- he did not even know what day of the week it was. All at once he heard, borne to his ears by the west wind, that grand old Easter anthem, the burden of which is Christ is risen, Christ is risen. He hath burst his bonds in twain. Christ is risen, Christ is risen Alle- luia swell the strain . Then Private Adams knew. This was Easter day. Her Easter Bonnet By Mary Moore IT is the day before Easter-the busiest day of the year for the little millinery shop which is crowded to the extent of its capacities with Women-all talking at once, bargaining and trying on hats. In struts a portentious looking individual with a haughty and don't-talk-back-to-me manner. My, what a crowd! Dear me! I don't see why in the world they have such a little coop for a hat store. They'd get twice as much trade if they would only move into a respectable place. At least I know they would get more of my trade. Say, where are all the clerks anyway? I can't wait here all night! I've got to get home and fix the children's Easter eggs and order my groceries and--I never did see why everybody always waits until the last minute to choose an Easter bonnet. lfpuge tenl
