West Virginia, on November it. 1S74. lie lived on a farm until lie reached the age of IS. mean while attending the district schools. In September. 1893. he entered Salem College. attending for four consecutive spring terms, teaching a school in Mineral county. West Vir- ginia. during the winters. In September. 1S97. lie entered West Virginia University as a freshman, where he pursued his studies until May. 1S9S. when at the first call for volun- teers he enlisted as a private in the Spanish American war. At the close of the war. he procured his discharge from the army, and returned to Morgantown, and again entered the University. January 1. 1899. There he remained until his graduation in June. 1902. when he received the degrees of A. H. and L. L. H. While at the University he took an active part in school affairs. During his Senior year he was president of his class. In 1902 he represented W. V. U. in the Dentral Ora- torical League at Uolumbus, Ohio. On September 1. he located in Fairmont for the practice of law. Since coming to Fairmont. Mr. Neely has taken a very prominent part in public affairs, and has done much for the good of the city. In the early part of April. 1903. he organ ized Company II. First Infantry. West Virginia National Guards, and was made first captain thereof. Since its or- ganization Company II has developed into one of the very best in the State. Much of the credit is due Mr. Neely for his tireless efforts in building up the company to its present excellence. In Decemlier, 1907. in recognition of his services, he was promoted to the rank of major, and still holds his commis- sion as such. In his respective dealings with the people. Mr. Neelx soon won their confidence and esteem. When, in the sj ring of 1908. the time again came for selecting a new can- didate for mayor, till eyes naturally turned to Mr. Neely. After much persuasion he at last consented to accept the nomination for mayor, in the election which followed his I � � | abil ity was proved, as he was elected mayor of Fairmont by a large majority—flu highest honor which the people could bestow upon him. In liis new office Mr. Neely sustained the confidence of the people in him. and that he made a good mayor goes with- out saying. He devoted himself continuously and unspar- ingly to the interests of tin city, and no one can say but that lie did his full and just duty to the | eople. On October 21st. 1903. Mr. Neely was united in marriage with Miss Alberta Clare Itamage. Soon after they took up their residence on Watson avenue, where they have lived ever since. In recognition of his public career, and of the interest which lie has always manifested in education, the Junior t lass, by a unanimous vote, selected him as their class spon- ser. and in his honor, the class is to lx known as the M. M. Neely ( lass. 1911 Perry C. McBee When school time again rolled around this rear, we upper chissiiieii entered school with not a few misgivings. For we were again to have a new principal. Mr. Ferry McKee. formerly principal of the Maunington public school had been called to till the position left vacant by Mr. Marsh We were a little doubtful about the new conditions we would have to meet, and what new customs would la established by our new principal. Hut our fears proved groundless, for. after once getting acquainted with Mr. McBee. we found him to Im a very pleasant and agreeable |ierson. Mr. McKee is fully competent to take charge of such a large and intlncn t in I school as the Fairmont High School, lie has lieen long and favorably known, and is held in the highest esteem In all the prominent educators of the State. Mr. McKee was born in Upper (Minton. Monongalia county. He is a grad uate of the West Virginia University, class of 18� � . From ism; to IS!� � he was principal of the Terra Alta public schools. From there lie went to Mannington to accept flu principalship of the Mannington schools, where In remained until his coming here as principal of the High School. He comes to Fairmont with a record of many years of successful school work, having completed just prior to his coining here, his tenth year as principal of the Mannington public schools. The outlook for the future of the Fairmont High School is excellent, and under tin skillful direction of Mr. McKee it will, we Iio|m . continue to grow both in numlicrs ami in tine nee. until it will In second to none in tin State.

Humph n s. a mighty ruler of the tribe of High Sc hool students, illcult ied into the school an innumerable multitude of |M� s am! girls gathered together no one knew whence. Now when they had entered the school their name was railed the Freshman (’lass of the Fairmont High School. And in the beginning T. -I. opened his mouth and spake, and sill listened unto his mighty and all-powerful voice. Behold these won's issued from his month: Ye are the largest and most promising class in the tribe of High School students. Ye me tilted, and verily I believe, are destined to do great and mighty things. Heed ye, therefore, and disappoint me not And it came to pass that when he spake those words we departed hem c pondering them in our hearts. And lo. in a short time the class waxed strong and gave signs of mighty • Imnipions in football, basketball, and even in all athletics, and now were they likewise powerful in music anil art. and soon appeared among them great algebra, history and Uitin heroes and heroines; even in all things did they excel I. And thus the class, mighty and powerful in all things, passeth its first year under the reign of T. J. After three moons had waxed and waned this tribe again gathered together in the Halls of Learning. But lo. the leign of T. .1. was at an end and in his stead a new law giver reigned; and this ruler was called J. F. Marsh. During his reign the class waxed great exceedingly and wire now known as Sophomores. And so it came to pass that in their second year, under the guidance of their wise end eloquent president, Arlington Fleming, great and mighty things were brought about by them. And when ail the other i lasses had gathered themselves together and had taken unto them rulers and leaders, this class saitli unto them: “Come ye to our Hallowe'en reception.” And lo. many came and marvelled at the Sophomore class. And now when t’aesar first appeared unto them. they, in 'aesar's own words, came, saw and conquered. And so were ihev now great in football and basketball; even in all ath- letics were they great. Moreover, when it was nigh unto the time for commencement, behold, there appeared unto them writings, brought by thir prophets, called the 4!t of ’ll.” in which were written their great and mighty deeds. Also, on the twentieth day of the fourth month of that year, they came together in the great hall of the building and rendered unto their friends ami kinsmen many wise sayings and won derful music. And in the following month ended the Sopho more year. And now when they again returned unto their school work the reign of J. F. was no more and a new ruler of the mighty trihe of Me Bee sat on the throne. And might and powerful was lie in all things, for he had hut to speak and he was obeyed. Before him the First and Second year tribes bowed, but it happened not so with this class, for behold! they now bore the name of jolly Juniors. And so it came to pass that when it was yet early in the year a class meeting was called and the class was from thence known as the “ M. .M. Neely Class of 1011. Anil again on Hallowe'en this class saitli unto the school. Come e to our reception,v and beliold many came and wei;e amazed at so much genius and originality in one class. So it happened that in their Junior year they were like wise mighty in all things. .Moreover, did they use to its fullest extent everything that was offered to them, even unto the demerit system. And it came about at the end of the ninth month of tin year nineteen hundred and ten that the mighty potentate saitli unto them: “For three years have ye been good and faithful students; therefore, enter ye into the Senior year and do likewise. ’ AUI-INOTOX KI.KMIXO, Pro� .

HISTORY W. tin Sophomore «hiss of 1910. entered the High School on I In eighth day of September in the year nineteen hundred and ei � lit. This year was made memorable both because it was the only year we were permitted to have as principal .Mr. «I. F. Marsh, and because we. tin joyous, fudge- loving and care free Fresh its started on our long journey in search of knowledge. On March seventeenth we organized and chose as our officers: Harold Hamilton, president; «Veil Smith, vice president; Marie Linn, secretary, and Kditli Frey, treasurer. At our next class meeting we chose as our colors red and silver grey, and as our class flower tin red rose. The next event of importance was when we showed our originality by entertaining the timid, awe-inspired Fresh men to be. If compliments count for anything, we seem to have made a very brilliant success. At the close of the year our troubles increased in a manner that Miss Oldham would call geometrical progres- sion. We divaded our final examinations because we had been informed by the experienced meml ers of the other classes that we could never pass; but happily we all i ?t got through. At the close of the year we left the High School knowing we would never again, in our High School life, have to endure tlx trials and tribulations of Freshmen. When the-next September came around, we began an- other school year, not as giggling, green Presides, but as all wise Sophomores. The Freshies suffered not a little on ac- count of our desire to gel revenge for Vlie humiliations we had borne the year before. At our first class meeting of this year we chose as our « lass sponsor, the much honored and respected -I. F. Marsh, whom we regretted very much to give up. but who was ably succeeded by the present principal. Mr. IV Mellee. On the twelfth of February we entertained the Senior class and Faculty at a valentine reception, which proved to be a great success. At least we were told so by the Seniors. Modesty, however, compels us to make no more than passing mention of this event. 1 have enumerated only a few of many important hap- penings in our short career; but we all look forward to the time when the world shall hear great things of us. We are sure that you will hear of a few of them next year. — Historian. 12. SOPHOMORE CLASS RCLL Spurgeon (tally. Paul millnjtsley, Hoff Cunningham. lattlier I Hi vis, Fred IMelrich. Loo Dona line.

We are not only a remarkable class on ac- count of our size, as we are composed of about one hundred and thirty members, but also because we are all such caper, studious and industrious boys and girls. Of course, when I say that we are studious I do not mean that we are not lively, frisky Freshies. I mean that we are capable of work as well as play. About two weeks after school started we held our first class meeting in the study hall, which was a very interesting affair, as all first meetings are. At this meeting we organ- ized our chiss. and chose for our officers those whom we thought would la most capable of holding office successfully for tin four years. We chose for our president. Harold Hutchinson: vice president. Dalton Simon: secretary, Anna Hrennen. and treasurer, Susan Arnett. In the short time we have been in the High School we have become accustomed to the treatment we are subjected to by the upper classmen. We know that the reason they treat us Fresh ies so badly is because they are jealous of our su| erior ability ( ?i and of the interest the teachers have taken in us. It is difficult to write our history for this year, because we have had to build a kind of platform, on which to stand during tin remaining three years. We have all studied hard, but you could not expect anything really remarkable yet. Hut we promise that at some future time you will hear something really wonderful from the class, which entered the High School as green, scared Fresh ies in nineteen hun- dred and nine. —Historian, 1913.

ALUMNI There ran In no greater aid to the good standing of any school than the successful career reflected upon it by its eminent sons and daughters. The Alumni of tin Fairmont High School have made fur themselves a reputation which is perhaps unsurpassed by any other High School Alumni in the State. Almost every class has produced some persons of promise in the country and State. Among the Alumni who particularly have made a suc- cess in the educational line are Mary Black. Virginia Pride. Eva Brand, Sarah Meredith. Amy Eliason, Emma Parks and Carter Faust. While these Alumni belong to the earlier classes, present indications show that many of tin graduates from the later classes will follow the example already set. Quite (Mjual to these in the teaching profession are those represented in the business profession, of whom some are Messrs. Frank Hall. Matt Brownfield. Glen Fleming. Henri McElfresh. Arch Brownfield. Walter Boydaton, Earl Morris, Philip Pitzer. Clyde Neil and many others. In recent years the High School has been unusually liencfited by the reputation of its graduates in the higher schools. At Cornell University. University of Virginia, West Virginia University and Ohio State University many of the High School Alumni have lieen successful. Among those who have made possible this record for their home school are Earl Morgan. Arthur Brobst, Aubrey Meredith. Chesney Kaiungc. Oliver Shurtleft . Wirt Faust, French McCray. Will Xuziini, Edwin Brooks, Clara Keinheiiner, Alberta Kainage. Lenora Braliin. Cilda Smith and Nell Cox. Not only at home but also abroad has the Fairmont High School been well represented as shown in the achieve- ments of Leigh Layman and Virginia Pride. Mr. Layman in Japan and Miss Pride in Africa. Such a showing as theirs may well be emulated by the coming Alumni. The future outlook of the Alumni is gratifying, for their number is being yearly increased by young men and women that follow the beautiful example already so excel- lently set. Summing up the above facts it seems that the future of our beloved school is one of progress, and that it shall stand in the future firm and strong as it has stood in the past, and our earnest hope for it is that it shall ever be proud of its sons and daughters.

Not only lias it made a record which any high school might In proud of. hut it has also been in a better financial condition than ever before. The Athletic Association was entirely reorganized this year, and the result was that a lietter and stronger organization was formed. At the first meeting of the association it was decided that the old constitution was no longer suited to the present association. Then by vote Mr. Me Bee. the acting chairman, was instructed to appoint a committee to draw up a new constitution. He appointed the following committee: Mr. Hosier. Miss Tassedy. Mr. (iritViu. Mr. Me Bee, Helen Bussell, Thomas Cook, Flizabeth McNeely and Arlington Fleming. The committee reported at the next meeting of the asso- ciation and the constitution which they had drawn up was accepted. Officers were then elected for the school year llMlfi-10. The officers are as follows: President...................Clifford Bell Secretary ...................Jessie Jacobs Treasurer ............................ Mr. Morrow Board of Directors. Principal Me Bee Miss t'asscdy Mr. Griffin Thomas rook. 10 Herschel Barnes, ’ll Merle Amos. ’12 Kenna Clark, ’12 The teams that represented the High School this year have won both distinction and honor. They were all com- posed of good high school athletes who conducted themselves in a sportsman like manner at all times. In football, con- sidering the superior weight of their opponents they did well. The basketball team was the champion team of Marion county and was considered one of the best teams in the State. The baseball team looks “good” and will probably be an important factor in the championship race of the Monongahelu Valley High School League.

BASKET BALL Basketball in the High School for the past season was very popular. Besides the team representing the school, there was a class league composed of the Freshmen. Sopho- more. Junior and Senior class teams. The league started its schedule early in the basketball season and games were played on every Monday and ednes day afternoons. Large crowds of students were present at all tin games and much class spirit and friendly rivalry was shown. Each team had about six games which made the season a good length. The championship was awarded to the Seniors. The Sophomores came next in second place, with the Juniors and Fresh men in third and fourth places resjieetfully. The league developed many good players some of whom no doubt will Im members of the first High School team next year. The High School team is well known to all. for they have brought a record to the High School basketball history that will long be remembered. By defeating the Fairmont State Normal School they l crame the champions of Marion county and of our home city. In fact they were known as one of the IH st teams in the State. The team was noted for their good hard, honest playing and the way in which they took their victories and defeats alike. Smith had the highest scoring average with Bell a close second. The team next year should la lietter than ever before. Those of this years team that will play next year are: Herschel Barnes, ('land Haun. Stuart Uace. Harold Schwann. Hon Arnett. Arlington Fleming and Harold Hutchinson. Herschel Barnes was elected captain and Ar lington Fleming manager for next year.

I have an announeenient to make which will be a surprise to you. As you all know, we an studying at | resent one of the most important and inter esting subjects with whieh physics has to deal. That is electricity, that mysterious energy, the nature of which no one has ever found out. i r have had some experiments with it in the laboratory, and I am very anxious that you should all learn as much about it as you can. So it gives me great pleasure to announce to you. that Mr. .lames Wyman, the wealthy electrician contractor, has authorized me to tell .'on that lie will give a reward of $100.00 to tin first member of this class, who shall by his own unaided efforts construct a w ire less telegraph outfit on which wireless messages can In sent and received a distance of one-lmlf mile or over. Needless to say, this created some excitement, and fol- lowing tin announcement the buzz of low conversation filled the room, for $l(HU.o is a good sum of money, and cverv member of the class would have Im cii glad to receive it. •lames Wyman was an old graduate of the high school, and had been very successful in business, and could therefore easily afford to give the $1 MUMI that he was offering as a prize. That evening as the students were walking home from school together, tin wireless contest was naturally the topic of conversation. “What's the use of trying?”’said one. “for this is just the chance that Norton Allen has been looking for. Why In is almost an expert electrician already, lie has a fine shop, and has made all sorts of things, and dur- ing vacation In works for the electric light company. So, for my part. I don’t see the use of trying against him.” He seemed to voice the opinion of most of the boys. Only Larry Brooks spoke up. “There's lots of use of trying,” said lie. “I am going to try. and even if I don’t get the prize, I will get a lot of knowledge and experience from working for it.” In school Norton Allen was a good student, especially so in physics, where his practical experience in shop work stood him in good stead, and he had lieen called on several times to make practical demonstrations before the class on things pertaining to electricity, so the boys could not be blamed for not being over enthusiastic about trying for the prize. For they all considered it time and effort thrown away, in trying to compete against such a formidable oppon- ent as Norton Allen. It was announced three days later, that but two contestants. Norton Allen and Larry Brooks, had declared their intention of competing for the prize. Every one considered (lint Norton Allen would be an easy winner, owing to liis «kill and experience. and to the fart that lie had a well equipped workshop. It wan not long be- fore a wire net work was placed on the tall ling pole, on tin roof of the school house, from this, an insulated wire led to I he instruments within the building, which were put in read iness for the trial. About a week later, poles, and a similar net work of wires appeared on the roofs of each boy's house. Hy this, it was evident that both boys were working on the outfits. In the main features the apparatus that each boy was constructing was alike. The sending parts of each con- sisted of an induction coil, controlled by a wireless telegraph key. by which tin dots and dashes of the telegraph rode were made. The action of a wireless telegraph instrument depends upon the electrical disturbance made in the air. caused by the sparks from tin induction coil. Thus when tin wireless telegraph key is pressed, to close the circuit, a shower of sparks pass across the terminals of the induction «■oil. and it is these sparks that make the invisible electric waves, that radiate out in all directions from the sending station, and by which with suitable receiving apparatus, mes- sages can Ih transmitted. Hoth boys were now hard at work on their outfits and every one was expecting Norton Allen soon to make the announcement that lie had succeeded with his apparatus. Hut day after day went by. and over two weeks had passed, but still there was no announcement that either hoy had su« ceede I in sending wireless messages to the schiNil building. Each boy had long since completed his sending apparatus, and most parts of his receiving ap- paratus. and each had but one more important part to finish. Hut this part was the most difficult and delicate of all. h was the coherer, the adjustment of which is a very «liHicult task. The coherer is the most vital part of a wireless tele- graph outfit, and is the one thing that has made wireless telegraphy possible. It is made of a very delicate mixture of silver and iron fillings, which are placed in a small glass tube, and connected with the apparatus. Then the electric waves come in from other stations, they are caught by the network of wires, on the roof, and front thence are conducted down the wire that connects with the receiving instruments. When the electric waves reach the coherer, the tilling cohere together, thus forming a solid metal path by which the re- ceiving apparatus can In worked, by a local battery current. Hut upon tlu interruption of tin wave they will immediately fall apart, thus making the dots and dashes of the telegra- pher's code in tin receiving instruments. Thus the reason for the name “coherer.” Three weeks passed, and Larry Hrooks had all hut finished his apparatus. Hut as he had to help his father, who ran a grocery store, he did not get to work at his apparatus regularly. One afternoon, after sc hool, as he was on the point of entering the receiving sta- tion at the school building, a peculiar metallic rapping c aught his ear. lie paused and listened, and In knew, from his knowledge of the ceste, that the rappings were s]M lling out a word. S T-C-t’-K-KS spelt out Larry slowly under his breath. Success, them 1 am beaten, thought he. and glancing into the room, he saw Norton Allen jump up trium- phantly front the instruments, and rush joyously to the tele- phone. Later la heard him saying to some one at the other end of the wire. “Success. Hilly. I got your message.” Larry c ould not help feeling disappointed after working so hard for (la prize, and feeling that lie could not congratu- late Norton on his success, until la had conquered some of his disappointment, la silently withdrew, and went slowly and disappointedly home. After la had sat around home for some time, to forget his disappointment more than any- thing else , la set to work on his own instruments, and after two hours of hard work, had them so that they worked per- fectly. Larry was now in a more cheerful frame of mind, and derided that to go and congratulate Norton would he the proper thing to do. la quickly snatched up his cap. and made his way to Norton's home, which was only a few blocks away. Going to Norton’s workshop, whic h was at the rear of his home, la found Norton absent. Hut his younger sis- tci . Annie, was in tla workshop placing things in order, and tacking some new pictures upon tla wall. So saying he was sorry that Norton was not present. Larry left without stat- ing his errand. The next day Norton announced his success, and the trial was arranged to he made that afternoon. When tla time arrived, tla room was tilled with spectators, all anxious to see the test. All was put in readiness, and the signal was sent by tc-lcj hone for Norton to begin sending a message. All waite I in breathless silence, but no message came. In a short time, there came a telephone call from Norton, saving that In would have to give up the attempt for that day, as lie could not get his instruments to work properly. Prof. Lee then arose and made a short address, stating that since Norton had not succeeded in sending a message, that all contestants still had an equal opportunity for the prize. Here was a chance to win the 100.00 thought Larry, since he had gotten his own instruments to working, and fora few moments a terrific struggle went on within him to keep silent about the message Norton had sent, to which he had been the only witness. But it was only a few mo- ments. and then springing to his feet, he cried out: ‘But. Prof. Lee. Norton did send a message.” and then lie told about his overhearing the message, and how he had finished his own instruments but a short time after. Then saying that he thought it was only a slight mishap to Norton’s in- struments. and for every one to wait a short time. In set out in a run for Norton's home. A thought had dashed through his mind that he knew the cause of the trouble. When he arrived at Norton’s home, he found Norton in his workshop, worried and disappointed. “I’ve come to help you Norton.” cried Larry: “I know vou succeeded for 1 overheard your message vest relay.” Then he began to look searchinglv over the wiring of the instruments, and at last with a trium- phant cry. he rushed to tin wall and pointed to a large tack, that Annie had driven in the woodwork, to hold one of the pictures sin had put up tin evening before. Sc e! look here! Here is the trouble.” he cried. “See when Annie put up that picture, she thoughtlessly drove this tack through the insu- lation of that wire. If you will look close you can see that the head of tin tack also comes in contact with that gas pipe there: that you know would make a short circuit, as it grounds your arcial wire by means of the gas pipe.” The tack v as quic kly removed and to his great joy Norton found that his instruments would work again. At the school building every one was talking over the event that had just happened, and praises of the honesty of Larry Brooks were heard on every side. Then nil at once the wireless instru- ments began to work, and even one was quiet and expectant. John Lawrence, a member of the Senior class, who could also read telegraj by. bent over the instrument. listening intentIv. When the message had ceased, he straightened up and cried. “Hurrah for Norton Allen! Lain has found the trouble for him. Norton says that lie and Larry will now send mes- sages on their own separate instruments. A short time afterwards the instruments began to click again. This time it was Larry at his own instrument, and several messages � assed between the boys and the school building, thus show- ing that both Larry's and Norton's instruments worked well. Mr. James Wyman, who had offered the prize, was present at the test, and was very much pleased over the outcome of the contest. That night before a large audience. Mr. Wy- man. after an appropriate speech, presented the $100.00 prize money to Norton Allen, amid great applause. After the applause had ceased. Mr. Wyman continued. “Although Norton Allen has won this prize fairly. I feel that it would be doing the other contestant for the prize a rank injustice not to recognize the splendid moral courage and honest en- deavor shown by him: as it lay in Ids power today to win the prize by keeping still. Hut he did not do it. Therefore, such honesty does not deserve to go unrewarded, so I am go- ing to irive him. as a special reward. $1(10.00 also. And I may add. that 1 am going to keep my eye on him. and if he wishes it. upon his graduation here. I will give him a good position in mv shops. Will Larrv I (rooks please come for- ward?” l arry was pushed to the front, and in a daze, amid deafening cheers, received tin reward, and thanked Mr. Wy- man for his kind offer. Larry is now occupying a responsible position in the shops of Mr. Wyman, and stands high in his favor. And it looks now as if. some time in the future. Larry might become Mr. Wyman's junior partner. (the knp.) THE Tom. Dirk, Harry each had good homes hut as hoys sometimes do, they grew to 1m so very democratic that the at last decided to throw off the yoke of despotic home rule and to live under a free constitution of their own. In other words they were going to run away. After getting together some clothes and all the money they could, they borrowed a horse and buggy belonging to Harry's father ami went out in search of a place which would suit them better. When they were about live miles out in the country they saw a peddler's hand cart coming down a steep place in the road. The cart also seemed to have rebelled and was get- ting along so well that it only hit the high places, and in so doing it scattered the poor peddler's bananas all over the road and into the gutter. Their horse passed this strange sight all right, but when they had nearly reached the top of tin hill they saw a man who looked as if he had not shaved for a month, lie was ring- ing a bell with all his might, at the same time yelling Stop thief!” to the democratic cart which was now at the iMittom of the hill. It successfully freed itself from all burdens by running into an old lady with a basket of eggs. The old lady was now screaming “fire,” murder” and “votes for women.” while trying to extricate herself and basket from the wreck. However, the boys were s mui out of sight and hearing, for the sight of a man running, yelling, ringing a hand Im I1 and frantically waving his arms had completely overbalanced the stately equilibrium of their poor old horse: that is to say. he ran away with the runaways. Onward they sped up hill and down, from one gutter to the other until the three boys were too frightened even to jump from the carriage. In fact, to have jumped on such a road would have been risking their lives. Finally they nine to a bridge crossing a wide and deep stream of water. The rattle of the horse’s hoofs on the planks strained the horse’s nervous system almost to break- ing. Hut when tin scream of a locomotive whistle was heard on the nearby railroad, the horse simply swerved RUNAWAYS aside, leaped over tin railing and drew tin carriage, railing, hoys and all down into the water. Luckily the hoys jumped in time to avoid getting under the carriage and as they were all good swimmers they were safe for the present, hut the hank on either side of the stream was very high and steep, so they could not got on shore, but after swimming about for a little while they espied a small launch drifting down the stream. They immediately swam up to the launch and climbed into it. finding it entirely empty. It was a gasolene launch and the engine ap|s ared to be in good order, but when they tried to set it in motion, they failed miserably. In looking for some reason for this Harry opened the tank and found the gasolene had complete- ly run away. “The gasolene is gone!” exclaimed Harry. “Well, we are at least safe from being blown up,” returned Tom. It seems as though we must Iw content to drift with the current,” remarked Dick. After drifting jierhaps half an hour they saw a log as long as a telephone pole ahead of them jutting out into the stream; this they hoped to catch and hold to for they were becoming heartily tired of drifting helplessly down the river At last their wishes seemed about to In granted for their launch was drifting directly toward the log. Indeed the launch just grazed it. and Tom even caught hold of it and held tightly. Harry handed him a rope which Tom tied around the end of the log. and thinking they were safe he looked toward the other end. To his horror he saw that the log had coolly let go its bold on old Mother Karth and was majestically drifting down stream after them, as if it wanted to join the company of tin runaways. About five minutes after this they began to hear a deep rumbling in the distance. The farther they drifted the louder grew the rumbling. Soon the boys recognized the sound. It was the roaring, splashing complaint of the water l eing hurled down forty feet to the rocks below. They wen approaching the Roaring Stone Falls. The ls� ys were now thoroughly frightened hut were trying to resign them wives to their fate. Dirk was just on the point of kneeling to offer a prayer. Hut as he glanced up into the hen yens he rnught sight of a small Mark object slowly approaching them, coming nearer to the ground at the same time. He directed the attention of the others to the small black speck which seemed to grow larger and larger ail the time as it neared them. Finally they were able to see it well enough to determine what it was. “It is an aeroplane! ’ cried Tom. “So it is. agreed Harry. Hut the roaring of tin falls was now so loud that the Im vs almost had to yell in order to be understood. Here they rounded a bend in the river and saw Roaring Stone Falls about two hundred yards ahead of them, dancing up they saw the aeroplane about a thousand feet above them. It seemed as though it would land directly over the falls. Nearer and nearer came the airship. The boys liegan to have a little hope. Now the speed of the boat became swifter, swifter still. It swept on about twenty f«� t above the falls. The airship was about twenty feet above them. Lower came the airship. Nearer to the falls came the launch. Now the prow of the boat did not lack much of the “jumping off place. The airship was still out of reach. The launch started over, even went a little distance. Now Tom was able to catch the hind part of the aeroplane, then Dick also caught it. The boat was nearjy half over. Poor Harrv. The stern of the boat tipped up and over it went into the surging, heaving waters of the falls, dust as it rose into the air Harry caught the last piece of tin airship's rigging and climbed into the ship. ( 11 account of the added weight in tin rear the airship rose majestically into the air. After sailing for about a quarter of an hour the boys thought they would like to land, hut they knew nothing of tin machinery of the airship so they had to let it go. All at om e a puff of wind struck the airship, and the hoys who of course were standing in the wrong place were thrown out. Luckily for Harry he lauded in a basket of clothes, which had just been washed, and which the owned had just prepared to hang out. 1 his sudden acquisition to her load came as quite a surprise, and threw her head-first into the nearest wash tub. from which she turned a somersault into the next. By this time Harry, dreading her revenge, did his best to escape. Luckily lie found himself in the neighborhood of home and was safe. .lust around the corner an old Irish woman who was taking down her dry clothes was very much surprised to see Tom come sailing down and land arms, legs and all into a piece of her female under garments which was spread out for him by the wind. The strength of tin line, which, although the line broke, saved Toni from a hard fall. The Irish woman, enraged at such an insult, chased Tom home before he had time to remove her garment. Hick upon alighting was very much surprised to find hin self on what seemed to be a combination flower ami vege- table garden and feather duster which gave away with his weight. He heard a loud thump and then a voice saying: “O, you have ruined my new hat.” •lumping down he saw his older sister on her knees under it. J A BASKET It was the middle of an afternoon in September and the hi}? gymnasium of the ('arson High School was unoccupied save for the High School basket ball team. Raymond, the captain and center of the team, with a slight frown on his face, was standing apart from the other players who wen practicing, thinking, and thinking hard. It was this way: it was just two days Ik fore tin big game of the season was to be played, between the ('arson High School and their rival, the Grant High School. Great was the expectations of the (’arson team in regard to tin game, for they were con- fident of winning. The year before they had been defeated one point by the G. II. S. in a bitterly contested game, but their team had 1h cii greatly strengthened this year, and had not yet been defeated. And now Mack Rogers, their star forward, and mainstay of the team, had sprained his ankle severely in the gym, and could scarcely walk, let alone play basketball. (Therefore their captain's gloomy meditations.) It was certainly hard luck to have Mack laid up for this game. It was the worst kind of fate, for what could they do without him. Poor Mack was all broken up over tin mis hap, and no one felt it more keenly than he, for he had set his heart on winning the game. Raymond, after much worry, hud decided to put the sub- forward. Shafer, in Roller’s place. Shafer was light but very quick, and he would put up a tight for the game. All too quickly, it seemed to Raymond, the day of the game rolled around. The Grant players arrived late in the afternoon, with a large aggregation of rooters, carrying themselves with a swaggering and confident air. In the evening the gymnasium tilled rapidly, for every- body wanted to see the game. Mack was there and was talk ing with some of his fellow players, trying to jolly them. When the referee's whistle finally blew for the game to com- mence. everybody was worked up to the highest pitch. For the first few minutes of play the team work was fast and furious, but in an unfortunate moment, one of the Grant players secured the ball, and shot a basket, amid the loud cheering of the Grant rooters. Rut equally as loud was the rooting among the Carson school followers, when a few sec- onds later Raymond made a basket. BALL STORY Fast followed the brilliant plays, and, as minutes after minute Hew by. and the ('arson players kept up in the rare, they became more hopeful. Hut when the first half was over, and the (i. II. S. was ten points ahead they knew that the game was lost, for Shafer was almost exhausted, and they could not hold the Grant boys down in the last half. Suddenly down in the dressing room, among the boys. Mack appeared looking pale, but determined. “Hoys.” In- said. Fin going to play this last half, if it kills in� � We’ve got to win this game. The effect upon all the boys, except Raymond, was elec- trical, and they became tin same jolly confident players ot old. Hut Raymond hesitated to put him in the game with his weak ankle. However, Maick and the other boys per- suaded Raymond to let him play. He hustled into his bsis ketball togs; so when the whistle blew for the second half, and Mack came on tin floor, loud were the shouts of ap- plause. Everybody took hope again and called upon him to save the game; and his fellow players liecnnie encouraged and worked nobly. Never before in the history of the two towns had a team played harder for a game. They gave Mack their best support, and lie played like a demon; he forgot his ankle and everything else, except the game. The Grant school people, who hail been so confident before, begun to look surprised and uneasy, as ('arson tied the score, while there was yet two minutes to play. The next few seconds the sjiectutors held their breath; the de- fense was perfect on both teams and the people tiegun to think it would be a tie game. There were just ten seconds more to play, and the root- ers were nearly crazy, but suddenly Mack got the ball, and the people knew something would hapfien. With a quick throw he made the basket, just one second before time was called. His head swam, and lie felt faint and dizzy, as if coming from a distance In could hear the crowd calling his name, and cheering madly, but what did he care, for they had won the game. —L. H. M.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS Well, Vertie, this question of how to become popular is rather a difficult one to answer. You should always try to 1m as sweet and agreeable as possible, yet sometimes be in- clined to engage in a “fuss” as both boys and girls are fond of this sort of thing. But above all l e yourself. Be orig- inal. Yes, Letha. I think that the Seniors will at some time settle upon their class pin. but this Indug a rather particular and difficult thing to do they naturally take time to carefully consider it. This is a question that is greatly worrying Mr. Rosier and the Faculty. What the school will do with next year's Freshies is not definitely known. It is altogether probable that at the end of this year, or at least next, Mr. Rosier will be going to the various schools urging the scholars and plead- ing with them to stay away instead of coming to High School, as he has done heretofore. No. Nellie, don't think because you have been taking leading parts in amateur plays that you will one day be a great artist. It is not probable. Why you are com| elled to read those uninteresting books as Sir Roger I)e Coverly, Papers. Ivanhoe and Tale of Two Cities instead of those you mention. Mary. I do not know. Certainly you would be reading ami developing your mind in either case. It is probably due to your teacher’s “meanness” in having you read what you do not want to. I do not see any other possible reason. Mr. McBee is afraid to smile, dear Freshmen. lie knows that if the High School students find out that he can smile he will Ik worried to death with people telling him jokes. Then it really is an etTort for him so he undoubtedly thinks In has enough work without taking up that. Yes. Johnnie, it certainly was wrong for you to push Mr. Higbv’s head into the fountain when he was drinking. In- deed it was a bold, naughty little trick and I think perfectly useless Itecause from the number of times Mr. Higby has visited the fountain he ought to Ik able to Take a drink un- assisted. One of the reasons, Marie, why the High School does not have a lecture course is because the people have not the money. The numbers given last year for the exorbitant sum of 25 cents, besides amazing their hearers, have made them completely bankrupt and as every one ( ?) attended them it would Ik impossible to sell the required numlier of tickets in a bankrupt town. Another reason is that Mr. Rosier ruined his voice last year announcing the different numliers and in advertising them ! eforehand. And. of course, we could not successfully have a lecture course without Mr. Rosier announcing it. Probably next year, if the Fairmont- ei s have saved some extra money and Mr. Rosier recovers his voice we may be able to have a lecture course. No. Richard, it isn’t liecause Miss Neel is so fond of you that she insists on your setting on the front row, but because of some of your naughty ways. The reason, Jessie, for this is very simple. The Faculty only dislike to see the students chewing chewing gum if they themselves cannot chew it. OUR DEAR FACULTY Our faculty Is surely nn intelligent one Who think we should study without any fun. But when we are older and have more sense We'll know they were sent by a kind 1’rovldence. The great McBeea are they first of nil. But they wared the poor Kreshies when they came here laat fall. And we Juniors think they are surely great Although they do make us work both early and late. Miss Fleming must l e exceedingly brave To make those Kreshies and Sophs behave. Miss Oldham teaches French and Herman ao well Why we’re so learned tls easy to tell. Miss I odge has two bright Botany classes Made up of two l oys and many sweet lasses. Miss Neel Is always so exceedingly dear That students shun Latin seems so queer. Mr. Illgby. our dear history teacher Makes every one feel like such a queer creature. Another such person Is our Mr. Morrow Who chemistry teaches to the Junior boys’ sorrow. Miss t'nssedy’s pupils do such cute little stunts. Miss Oderhola’s singers give such dear little grunts. I’erhnps you'd suppose Miss Ireland's are green But never at least do their drawings so seem. To stop now' Is surely not my Intention. For yet come those most worthy of mention. Mr. tirlfTIn so handsome, and Miss McKinney so good That other classes are jealous Is Indeed understood. For we. the Juniors have beat class teachers of all And happy were we when we got them last fall; Their devotion to us and our work Is so clear We shall la very sorry to leave them next year. One girl is enough for me. One girl to like, adore, One girl Is enough for me— Oh who could wish for more. — Paul Ilaymond. Little Nick f’rowl a Senior so bright IMd on the floor of the reading room light— But he got up again Before you could count ten— While the students all howled with delight. SENIOR FEAST 11 A. M. Wednesday— Tills seat's so hard. My hut I'm tired. Mr. Meltee worn so long About ringing that g«mg. Literature's a dry old thing. Hut what won't 12 o'clock bring? 12 o'clock— Here's for the botany room, One. two. three; Every Senior's hustling. Jim and filing and me. Just look at that table: oh you Pickles and Ice cream and olives, too! fake and sandwiches, what a pile! Bet If layed out. they'd reach a mile! Pickles and salad and don't forget the cheeae. Now sit around the table as tight as you can squeeze.'’ 12:30— No! No! No fudge! !tn so— I'm so— I can't budge!” 1 :00— Three cheers for Mr. Roydston And one for his toast, you see! I Just—can't—give—the—class—yell! I—feel—kind—o'—funny—In—my—knee. When the Isst lesson in Ijitln Is ended. And the ponies are all thrown away. When all thoughts of tests have vanished And Miss Neel no longer stands In our way. We shall rest and faith we shall need It, Lie down for an hour or two, 'Till Virgil, an alarm clock for many. Shall set us to work anew. And those that have passed shall be happy; No longer shall they be perplexed— They shall laugh and rejoice with the gayest, leaving behind both Latin and text. They shall find that real pleasures delight them. Tennis, and cricket and hall: They shall play for days at a time And’ never get weary at all. And only pleasures shall draw them. And only pleasures shall claim. And no one shall work for “passes And no one shall receive the blame— But each In the Joy of freedom And each In his separate way. Shall do the thing ns he wants It And not as the teachers shall say. CLASSIFIED ADS WANTED- -Some one to write Latin compositions. WANTED—A new chain to play with. Miss Lodge.
