After four long years of pa- tient toil the class has reached its goal for which it has been striving. Now new and harder lessons must be learned and perhaps not so free from sorrow as these have been, but if we follow the lessons diligently pursued at our alma mater, the lessons of the world will not be so hard to learn. In the future we will meet many new ac- quaintances and friends and perhaps drift away from the old ones made at Erskine, but often our thoughts will wander back over space and time to our happy high school days and above all to our truest friends. There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days. And we know this will be true in re- gard to the class of l923.

- 6 THE PIN NAGLE the school building. Since Xthis has begun a decided improvement is no- ticed in regard to the book-casesgftlfesks, stage and dressing rooms. Everything in perfect order. A monitor is chosen to serve for a week with two boys and two girls under him. The monitor divides the work among them and each one has his or her special duties to ful- fil. The students show a great interest in this and much rivalry is shown among the monitors, each new monitor striving to accomplish more than the one before him. The monitors are chosen every Monday by the principal and a discussion follows, everyone partaking, in reference to better im- provements and complaints on the work of the preceding week. As this plan has so far proved 'a success it will probably be adopted. Physical Culture Physical culture for the girls as well as the boys has taken its place at Ers- kine. Daily the girls go through their gymnastic exercises in the open air. Tennis will be commenced in ai few weeks and games between classes will be witnessed. The girls favor a base- ball team, as much enjoyment was the result of the little baseball practice they had in the fall. They have their own diamond, balls, bats, etc., and a girls' baseball team is heartily favored by all the girls. A The thousand dollars which we were to raise toward the gymnasium fund has been obtained. The work on the gymnasium was begun last fall, but on account of the early winter weather it had to be discontinued until spring. A large supply of the material is ready at hand. XYho will not be glad when the carpenters make use of it?
