latter game and several times he was to be noticed roll- ing down the grass slope. The last few months of the year were made busy and interesting in writing and compiling our famous High School Annual, “the Blue Jay. ■ The well-earned vacation days seemed all too short, but we gladly came back to assume the responsibilities of Senior-hood and to receive the envied scats of honor always occupied by Seniors. Many days of hard work have been spent in the laboratory. Doubtless we have often judged our in- structor too severely when he insisted on our presence till four o’clock or later, but such trifles will not be re- membered long. These hours of toil, however, have had their moments of pleasure and we have enjoyed more than one hearty laugh at another’s expense. For in- stance. it never failed to bring a smile to our faces when we saw our Tiny standing in the middle of the room with a test-tube in each hand and heard her calling. “I want some sodium: 1 want some sodium. Or. “Some one get me some ferric-sulphate quick. Xor will we ever dis- cover why Mildred and Joe always have a supply of test-tubes, while hc rest of us have so few. Several accidents have occurred to relieve the monotony of a long, tiresome afternoon. The most exciting of these was the hydrogen explosion. Tho’ we laugh at it now. it was most terrifying to see a flask filled with acid ascending to the ceiling and descending in a shower of glass over our heads. In justice to ourselves, it must be said that we have acted in direct opposition to a teacher’s commands but a few times. One day we decided that we had been study- inp chemistry too hard and needed a rest: accordingly, instead of going to recite, we went home. Mr. Thuermcr obligingly gave us the much-needed rest and excused us from recitation indefinitely. In a week we came back greatly refreshed and prepared for one of those still tests, as only Mr. Theunner knows bow to give. There must have been a misunderstanding all around when, on tlu- day before April Fool, al! the Seniors attended the Junior class meeting for the purpose of planning an April bool picnic, under the impression that permission had been granted for the meeting. We now hope that no other class will ever have to undergo the humiliation of being inarched up to Mr. Howells office as we were, and there receive a forty-five minute lecture. It may be added that we all came to school bright and early the following morning. With increasing interest during our four years of High School life we have watched the institution grow aiu! expand in every department. Each year a new course has been added to the curriculum and a new member to the faculty, which has grown from three to ti e present number of six. Several new bookcases filled with new books now occupy a prominent position in the assembly room Manv times along the way we have wearied of school life and longed for freedom from study and the con- stant submission to rules. We rejoiced when we be- came Seniors that our goal was almost attained, but now. when we have finished, we realize that, lie the course of our lives as it may. it can never compare with the sweet comradeship and the happy goodfcllowship which we have enjoyed in the High School.
