he had composed. This was done and the grad- uates afterwards were seated on the stage and after delivering orations they received bouquets and other gifts. On either side of the stage on small red chairs sat a small boy and small girl. Their duty was to deliver the gifts to the class and put the bouquets in baskets. One of the two, the boy, fell asleep during the long program, and the girl on the other side, now Mrs. Charles Ryan, was much disturbed over the prospect of serving both sides of the stage. The invitation, a double thick cardboard folder, was printed in dark blue and red with gold edges. They con- tained the class song, We Are Leaving the Shoref' written by Lee M. Swope, and the Or- der of Exercises. The members of the class have been corre- sponding with each other for the last few months. Mrs. NWhite says that this will probably be our Last Round-Up. TIME HAS WROUGHT MANY CHANGES Twenty years have wrought many changes in our course of study. Some years ago the Board of Education and other important members real- ized the need of dealing with the individual stu- dents instead of with the group as a whole, as they had previously done. It was probably not necessary to think about the course of study twenty years ago as people were not very much interested in education then, or we might say there was not as good a chance for education twenty years ago as there is today. Everything changes as time goes on, which is true in the case of our course of study. At the beginning of 1914 the College Course was the only course offered and you know this course only prepared one for going to college. The Board as well as the students realized that all students could not go to college, so after a great deal of meditation the General and Com- mercial Courses were added to the curriculum. In the last twenty years Hygiene has been placed in the course of study as a required subject. Some of the new subjects which have been in- troduced in the last twenty years are Music Har- mony, Orchestra, Band and Printing I, II, III and IV, Agriculture and Journalism. In making these changes the idea of Kingsley's objectives of Secondary Education were kept in mind, namely: to teach the student the use of his leisure time, to make him a worthy member of the household, to make him a good citizen, to develope his character and to master the fun- damentals or the tools of learning. All of these objectives are very evident in our course of study. For leisure time we provide music, art, literature, dramatics and others. These subjects train the individual the right way to spend his leisure time. W'orthy household membership is another objec- tive which is taught through our Home Eco- nomic Departments and Manual Training. Citi- zenship is another important objective which is emphasized in the classes and the Hi-Y and G. R. Clubs. The G. R. and Hi-Y are two Christian clubs in our school which stand for everything that is good and uplifting. CContinucd on Page 851 X .,, Q , ....., 1 -A A fy: . . 'law - 1 ANOTHER VIEW' OF SENIOR

For six months Mrs. White and Mr. Swope planned this reunion of the eight members of the 1884 graduating class. The reunion was held in Emporia, May 22. Although most of us have kept in touch with each other these fifty yearsf' says Mrs. White, little did any of us dream that we would all be together again as we were Thurs- day evening, May 22, 1884, in che W'hitley opera house when we received our diplomas.
