School Organizations we love our studies ? Yes, or maybe no. Do we love our school organizations ? Yes. Because they are the pupils, for the pupils, and by the pupils, while our studies are of the pupils, for the pupils, but by the — teachers. But whether we care for one or the other, we do know that mixed with pleasure, our work becomes all the sweeter. There were some, nay, many, who declare that these various school organizations would interfere with the scholarship of the school. But despite objections, a beginning was made, and continued to be made, until now, we have a long list of school organizations. First, there is the “ Mandolin Club,” which is as welcome in the course of a lecture, or in fact any place, as the sun after a shower. We are pleased to think so many under-graduates are members, for that assures us that, after we graduate, the club will continue to prosper. We also have an excellent ” Glee Club,” and altho’ they have not been very much in evidence, they sang successfully at the Bazaar. The Athletic Association has been loyally supported by the boys of the High School. But by seeing some of the best games of the season (and most of them were victorious for us), they have received in enjoyment more than the amount of their yearly .dues. The Athletic Association should have the hearty assistance of every boy and girl in the High School, in every possible way, by cheering and encouraging the players at the games, by promptly pay- ing dues and by helping accordingly to the utmost of their ability to sustain the reputation of this important High School Association. The Alumni Association, under able management has become an important society and its aim to keep in touch with the High School Students in order to assist them in Athletics’ in obtaining scholarships, and in every other way in which they are able. It has shown great interest towards the School and has helped, individually and collectively to make the High School what it is. Without this important society many graduates of the Kaston High School would lose all interest in their Alma Mater and many of their schoolmates, in after years meet them only at the Alumni Assembly. Have these organizations interfered with our studies ? We hope not. But we do know they have given an added enjoyment to our work and have made the memory of our High School dearer to us.

Junto Out To-day 4 P. M. CROWD of girls were anxiously watching these words printed on the black board. “Isn't it great? asked one enthusiastic subscriber. And as usual it is on time. I do hope there are lots of personals, don’t you? They are so interesting that the first thing I do when I pick up the “Junto” is to look and see if they have said anything about me. “ O, of course said another the personals arc alright and funny sometimes, but I am more interested in the “ Exchanges and “ Alumni notes.” Last month they had the cleverest idea, arranging the exchanges in columns, so they spelled “ Our Exchanges.” And then still discussing the Junto they drifted away. Have you ever stopped to consider the many different ways in which the “ Junto” is received? The Fresh- men, Sophomore, Junior and Senior, has her own peculiar way of regarding the paper. Miss Verdant is enthusiastic about the “Junto” or to be more specific about the “ personals.” That means the whole “ Junto” to her. She never stops to criticise any part of the wonderful paper, but thinks it is all perfectly grand. So also does Miss Wise Sophomore view the paper, tho' in a little different light. She spends more time over the athletics. Every player on the team is a Hercules in her eyes. It makes no difference to her whether she cannot distinguish a game of Base-Ball from Foot-Ball or if she can tell whether her side is winning or losing. She just thinks the players are perfectly splendid and carefully reads the scores. Miss Junior is romantic. The stories hold her attention, and she thinks they are equal to any of the latest 28
