' Anil truly is tin history of tin Senior class of the High School a record of our progress in civilization. Now that we are about to receive our diplo- 11108. the highest reward offered by the Ih sI High School of our state, we feel that we have indeed reached an important epoch in our | regress in civilization. This process has not 1 4 011 altogether easy or pleasant. Vet there have Im oii mam interesting and delightful happenings along the wav. When we entered High School as Freshmen, what little savages we were to lie suie. how greedy we were for high grades. Imw we did tight with Algihra and Latin and yes. Miss Fleming and .Miss Neil. However when we had become the unsophisticated Soph omoies we lagan to notice tin ways of the .Juniors and Sc niois and soon | ut away some of our barbaric mistakes and adopted some i f the customs of (la other classes. As a re suit, that year we gave a Halloween reception to the school. This was our first real introduction to High School life. After that we advanced rapidly and showed great originality. We introduced many new ideas which have made us quite famous. One of these was tin publication, while we were So| Immures of a class annual, which made Mr. Mellee. who was soon to be our principal “sit up and take notice. Then in our .Junior year we were tin wonder of the school. The progress in civilization which we had made was remarkable. “Maple leaves ami Mendiant of Venice Fp-to hate were two ini|M rtant land marks in our onward progress. Hut now we have reached our last year in High School. As the year draw s to a dost and we look back over the first three years of our High School life we realize the progress we have made. We have had many struggles and even tights hut they have been tin struggles and tights of dignified Se- niors. of those who had convictions ami opinions of their own. and who were ready, like their forefathers to die for them. Harly in the year we organized a (‘ivies club, the first organization of the kind attended by any class in High School. It has given us InuIi instruction and pleasure ami we are a worthy example for the other classes to follow. Another one of our original enterprises was the pur- chasing of a class pi'iiant by each member of the class. We also presented the school with a bust of Longfellow, which has been greatly admired by all who have s 4 n it. It is a worthy addition to tin school. Another event in our career which means a great deal to us is that we sent four representatives, besides the track team, to Morgantown, to try for tin prizes and scholarships offered by tin West Virginia I’niversity. and we are proud to say that two of our number took first honors and one second hour. Hut now we an ready to leave High School. We leave it with both regret and happiness, because our life as High School students has lx en a happy one. We wish the Fairmont High School a glorious future and sincerely ho|s that the M. M. Neely class of 11111. will bring only fame and glory to its honored and esteemed spons4� r and to its Alma Mater.

And the spirit of conquest was upon each. III. And .1. F. Marsh said: “Let there lie a Fresh- men meeting, let all the Freshies come with submissive atti- tude.” And it was so. IV. And J. F. Marsh saw the meeting that it was good. And he said let them choose those best fitted who shall rule them in the days to come. And it was so. Peace be unto Paul, chief ruler, to Peril his assistant. Blessed be Daisy, the chief scribe. Praise In to Kditli. the money changer. V. And tin class promised to name itself the next year and Marsh saw that it was good. VI. Let all the Freshmen assemble and bid the eighth graders welcome!” proclaimed Mr. Rosier. And straight way it was done. II. “And let the eighth graders go away resolving to come to High School. said the Freshies. And it was so. VIII. And the first year drew to a close. IX. I .el everyone come hither and praise the great Me Bee’s. Let them divide the good from the bad. And i? was good in the sight of the Sophomores. X. Ix t the good Ik called excellent and the bad Ik ex- pelled and not received again to the fold. And it was so. XT. And McBee said: ‘‘Let there be a Sophomore 1 lass meeting.” And it was so. And behold they came forth in shining raiment hearing the name of .1. F. Marsh. XII. And the other classes saw that it was good and therefore wondered at the great works of the “.I. F. Marsh class.” XIII. And the Sophomores said, “let us have a feast on the day of Si. Valentine.” And it was so. XIV. ' And the Sophomores said, “lei all the Seniors tome to our feast,” and it was good to the Seniors. XV. And the second year drew to a close. XVI. “Let all the .luniors come to the cha| el,” said McBee. “and be a shining light to all other classes.” And it was so. XVII. “And let them be for lights in the realm of High School to show the way to other classes.” X III. And McBee said, “let there be two great lights, the greater light, the Juniors, to rule the day. and the les sor light, the Seniors, to rule the night.” He proclaimed the Sophomores and Freslunen also as like unto the stars.

However, after I retinni that evening, my thoughts mil urn I ly turned to our «lass, and I mailed what Miss MeKin- ney had said. I thought about it for a little while., but sleep soon earned me into the land of dreams and it was certainly a land of dreams such as 1 had never entered be for � . I saw each memlter of our elans in bis or her sphere of life twenty years lienee. Haul seemed to have lieneHtted by his office in High Seliool for he was president of a beef trust in Chicago. Of course lie had some one to “rail him dearie; and who should it Ik� but Mary Ellen? Cecil, who was our energetic vice-president, held a res|Kitisihle position as government forester. He had to liear his burdens alone, for. so far. he had not been able to keep still long enough to im‘o| ose, Edith was such a frivolous society butterfly that you would never think that she had once Inirne the great responsibility of being treasurer of the famous “J. F. Marsh Class. Her greatest trouble was in persuading Merle to share her social joys: for his excuse was the many duties of tin Trust Company Hank. John Steadier held a very prominent part in the Fair- mont High School faculty; for he was the newly a' s Prophecy «-Impiain. lie was git ally aided i in his work by his wife, formerly known as • giggling Hnth. While Kuth Heintzelman was traveling abroad several years ago she was married to an English |x er. I ady Kuth is nuieh loved and highly esteemed in her new circle of friends. Our class was well represented in the faculties of many of the best schools. Those occupying such positions were: Luther Davis. 1'rofessor of Mythology, Harvard; Claud Le- masters. Professor of Anatomy. Johns-Hopkius; Norris Showalter. President F. II. S.; Katherine Haggerty. In- structor in Expression. Iceland Powers; Louise Leonard. Professor of Latin. Wellesley; Amy Williams, President of Maryland College for Women. Kneel Hawkins was the able mayor of Fairmont, and his wife. Essie Miller, was the mistress of a lieautifiil home. Hill Crest, which was once the home of the wonderful Mc- Kees. Verner Wade was a famous writer, hut some attribute much of his success to his beautiful young wife. Neva Currey. Spurgeon Hailey was an athletic director in W. V. U. Humors wen afloat of his engagement to Dortlia Knapp, who was the widow of a wealthy ranchman. Paul Killingslen ami .John Erwin were the joint proprie- tors of the lies! department store on the west side of the Motiongaliela: but their close rivals were the owners of the store known as “The Morgan k Pople Variety Shop on the East side. Mary Brand and Sarah Hihhs wore tin retired owners of tin famous “Rmif Harden Lunch Room for High School Students.” Carol Rowell's talent in reading was talked of through- out the I niled States, hut she was just about to retire from public life. She was to he one of the brides ill a double wedding. “Better late than never. Carol. The other bride was the great composer. Florence Hawker. Although you would probably recognize the names of the grooms. 1 will not mention them for they were not juniors. Fred Dietrich, Fred Horcliler and Fred Morris were known as the throe men lies! in their professions in our city —dentistry, medicine and law. respectively. The three Freds cast great credit on their good old school and teach- ers. Beatrice Canter was the worthy wife of the prominent artist. Castle Hess; while her chum. Merle Miller, besides performing the wifely duties for Wendell Hess, was known as a great teacher of music. I.eo Donahoe. the world known scientist, has prevailed upon Vertie to give up all nervous cares and entrust her future to him. William and mam-lie Hill were the scientific owners of the Holland House , the beat hotel in Fairmont. Art Kern was the leading real estate man in the town; while the first place in the engineering line was held by the company known as the ••Schwann” Ill-others.” composed of .lint and George. Marie Linn was married the year after she graduated from High School to a prominent business man. She then was president of the Woman’s t’luh in Fairmont. Mae Yost was tin wife of one of the ministers of the town, and with her lived Katherine Dollison. the sad young widow of a well known statesman. Klsie Welsh and Mary Windsor have married rich planters from Georgia, ami spend much of their time abroad. Marvel Phillips was the wife of one of the proprie- tors of the largest store in Pittsburg and her name was often mentioned in the society pages. KlixahPth runaway and Kdna Thorn, had a suite of rooms in the Holland House, where they spent most of their time enjoving each other’s company. H.

HHtlt? We entered with many misgivings concerning tin treatment we were likely to receive from the faeeulty and U|i|K r elasKtnen. Hut as we were ushered from room lo nsuii and shown the Library and Study Hall by a mighty Senior, and when we lieheld the benevolent smile of Mr. Me lice, our feats were thrust to the background and we readily regained our lost composure. We all feel very proud of the fact that our class was the first to organize in its Freshman year. Farly in the fall of 11)051 we held our first class meeting and elected for our officers for two years the following: President—Harold Hutchinson. Vice-President—Dalton Simon. Secretary—Anna Brennen. Treasurer- -Susan Arnett. We were very sorry that in the spring we were not per- mitted to carry out the “original idea” of entertaining the “Freshmen to be,” which was originated by the class of 12. By the time we reached our Sophomore year, we are sorry to say. our number had decreased considerably, but nevertheless we were not disheartened, as was shown by our ability to choose such an efficient Sponsor so early in our i-iirtM-i —Mr. � . M. Alexander. President of the Board of (Education and Sponsor of the (’lass of 13 We hope that by the time we leave the High School he will feel as promi of us as we all do off our name. The first social event of our Sophomore year was the “Annual (’lass Picnic. It was held in the lieautiful grounds of Barnes Harrs camp and was greatly enjoyed by the class. The trip up and down the river on the barge was very pleasing to all. The faculty thought it best to have the picnic last fall to “avoid the rush this spring.” We all think it would Is a good idea to have the picnic now, in order that we may have all next fall for our studies t ?). as our class is under obligations to two classes and on ac- count of -ways and means” we cannot entertain them both, we decided to give honor to whom honor is due and invite the Seniors to our “May Party.” Because we had elected our first set of officers for two Years and the Sophomore year was about over, we held a class meeting and elected our officers, who will Is install- ed at the “May Party. ’ The newly elected officers are: President Paul Hawkins. Y ice-President—Robert Henry. Secretary Nellie Prichard. Treasurer—Alma McKeever. We feel that our most important work will be next year when we have the publication of “Maple Leaves.” This as our predecessors luive told us is no “play work. But xie are determined to tight to the end and come out successful. HISTORIAN 13. Paul A mo . Harry Arnett. Gilbert Arnett. Homer Bnrneu. Clyde Bran «III. Kdgar Brown. K.-ntin Clark.

Our class was one of the largest that ever entered this school. It was at first composed of about one hundred and fifty of the wit- tiest. wisest and most industrious boys and girls that ever attended school: but through no fault of their own a few of this “happy bunch ’ have lacen coni|� elled to drop out and take up other lines of work. Early in tin term we held our first class meeting and chose the following worthy and capable officers: President. Beatrice Hall; vice president, Edna Hamilton; secretary, George Hough, and treasurer. Paul Fleming. We do not think it necessary to go into details and de- lass History scrilte the great progress made by this class, and liesides we do not wish to arouse the jealousy of the Sophies.” It is with regret we close this, our tirst year and enter into the mysteries of tin Sophomore year, but we sincerely Iiojm that we also will not grow so arrogant and thoughtless as to treat those who follow 11s next year with the contempt and disdain that we. as green Presides, have received this year; though it is a great comfort to us to know that we have stood the taunts and jeers with unending patience, and that our efforts have met with full reward. As our class has ln en so large and we have had to build a strong basis on which to work for the next three years, we have not been able to do much which seems of very great im- portance yet. but we assure you that sometime you will hear of this class doing something very great because we shall not always be ‘‘green.” timid Presides. —Historian. 1014. i i� , initman i‘npi Kniio Ijiwmico lUrrv Paul llrlwvv, lliirrv rnrpenter. la-win I’amkadon, Thonian Cnlpltta.

What kind of football team will we have next fall? This ipiestion has been asked and answered many ways. IBALL more than ever since Mr. McBee announced that no one would Im allowed to play in any of the athletic contents, w ho used tobacco or had used it six weeks l� efore the begin- ning of school and if the players w ho use tobacco have any sand they will piit it. I think that we ought to have a fairly good team next year. Jt may be a little light but with the proper training they will Is very fast. From this years team Spurgeon Hailey. Harold Hutchinson. Merle Amos. Paul Amos. Oar- erne Morgan. Fred Horehler. West Manley, (’rawford Mich- ael. Herschel Hill and Cecil Smith will Is in school. There is also much good material in this year's Sophomore and •Junior classes. The outlook for the Basket Ball Team is at the present worse than that of football. Having such an excellent team this year will cause us to expect as good a one next fall. The regular players on the Basket Ball team, with one exception, are all Seniors. This strange condition w ith only one veteran left. Spurgeon Bailey, who was elect- ed captain, was never known liefore. Since the rule about tobacco applies to basket ball a few of the good players may drop out but it is expected that they will quit the use of it. The 1!I11 team w ill likely be composed of three of four Juniors and several Sophomores. KVMJ. TIVH J.IMM HMSMETT MILL Tin Basket Ball team of this year wan excellent. It was in.irli better than it lias bt en for several years. The manager after mncli work rei-eived the V. M. c. A. lym nasi tun to play all home games in. This building is closer the renter of the town than the High School Gym- nasium. and was much better to play in. and large crowds were present at every game.

TKAM THE FAIRMONT HIGH SCHOOL TWENTY YEARS IN THE FUTURE By RUTH HEINTZLEMAN 12 No! having visited Fairmont since iny departure from Iluti ntv niimeaiatrlv after I had graduated from High School, I was not greatly surprised when I returned to find it changed very niu h. I was visiting a friend who had been Freshman in the High School the year in which I graduated and she. Iieing a teacher in that same school, asked me to go and see the school. I was very glad to have the opportunity because I still felt interested, although I was sure that everything in eon nection with the school had been changed. On coming dowii Fifth street I was astonished to see the buildings around the High School. Across Fifth street from the High School were two beautiful brick buildings which had been erected on the plat of ground where three frame houses had stood. My friend told me that one was a library building and the other one was a gymnasium which contained entirely modern equipment. I was told also that it contained a Manual Training de- partment for boys. The library building contained twelve class rooms. Is sides an excellent library and the index which Mr. OrilHn used to tell us so much about in our •‘famous” Fnglish His lory class when we were all Juniors. On entering the old High School building of which still hold many pleasant memories. I found everything changed and more than all the domestic Science depart- ment. The entire basement was used for Domestic Science and Art classes. The kitchen had been made larger and a large dining room had been fitted out with all things necessary for an ideal dining room. I was told that lunch was served every day to pupils who desired it. The domestic Science and Art depart- ment had five teachers in plaice of one. The number of teachers in the High School had increased to thirty, and the number of pupils Imd increased to nine hundred. The High School Auditorium had lieen made larger and the old gymnasium had been made into cloak rooms. When we left the High School building we walked over the grounds of the school. The first things that at- tracted my attention were the large tennis courts below the old building. They reminded me of the discussions we used to have concerning whether we should have or should not have a tennis court. The trees which the different classes had planted on tin grounds had now grown very tall, but were not yet so large that I was not able to distinguish the old tree from which the Seniors tore our class banner down when we were Juniors in 11H1. The old Fourth street bridge had lieen replaced by a large cement bridge which improved the appearance of our High School grounds very much. Vines were now running up the large old trees on the grounds and the school buildings were also partly covered with vines. Flower beds had lieen made on the grounds and as it was late in the Spring the plants were covered with beautiful flowers. A small bridge had been construct ed across the ravine in front of the old building and it was covered with ivy. As we wen crossing this bridge a large aeroplane flew over the High School and 1 am sure it did not distract one pupil from his lesson, but if it had flown over the High School twenty years ago, during my sojourn there it would probably not only have caused the pupils but also the teachers to go to the windows. The last class period before noon was over and many of the students were starting home, when 1 left the High School grounds. I overheard a conversation between two small girls whom I thought to be Freshmen. One girl said to the other. Oh. my. tin teachers and principals must be getting more particular every day. localise today I drop- led my book in the study hall and Mr. Moore just looked cross-eyed at me.” Well, I just think that is so.” said the other girl; 1 have heard mother talking about Mr. Me Bet keeping study hall when she went to High School, and I just know that the pupils didn’t have to sit as straight as they do now.” This conversation brought to my mind tin comments that the Freshmen used to make when Mr. Me Bee would cull them from the rear of study hall and tell them to sit on the front serfts. I returned to the home of my friend very much pleas- ed with my morning's visit, which showed me how time and work could change things. OUT OF We had Imm-ii working several motitIih mid wore well along on tin Went fork of ilic river when Hudson joined us as a rodmaii. He was fresh from college, full of ideas anil theories. but unacquainted with hard, practical work. He had worked for a month in a lumber camp down the river and knew something of the wilderness of the country. His side partner in the lumber business. Old I'etc. a big French Canadian, joined the surveying party at the same time. Hudson soon found out that it did not pay to boast of his college training because the lumber men admired mus- cle and brawn more than college training. At almost ev- ery suggestion that lie made old l ete would remark, “did you learn that out of book?” Hudson was often angered bill took it as good naturedly as possible. The source of West Fork of the river which they were now working was on the far-away snow-capped Sierras. The stream came down the mountains in a seething band, winding around huge masses of granite or Ismnding over steep dill's. A few miles als ve them it leaped over large granite columns almost three hundred feet high. From here it gained headway and tore through narrow gorges, carry- ing with it everything movable. When the party had finished taking their lines at the mouth of the canon, Williams the chief engineer, selected Hudson to go with him up the canon a few miles ahead of the main party. The two men made their way along the left bank of the stream, which roared and seethed below them. They found no trails leading through the gorge and their progress was slow and difficult. A dense growth of scrubbx pine and laurel was everywhere and their path had to be laboriously cut through them. After an hour of tedious climbing Hudson led the way into an open space close to the river, where the glare of the sun was directly on them, but the roar of the rushing water was somewhat diminished. Williams noted the condition of the river bed and the slopes. The sides of the canon were great walls of granite, gray and forbidding, rising hundreds of feet into the sky. Ahead the river fell over large cliffs A BOOK and tumbled gracefully over cascades mid went sweeping around large Imoldere. Where the men stood the river spread out into a wide crysta line jawd. The engineer, {minting to the other side, tinned to Hudson. “There are mineral springs over then , probably iron,” he said, “when the river narrows we 11 try to go over. ’ A short distance up the river they found signs of sul- phur springs. The ground was erisp with sulphurie erys tals and dotted with e!inker-rimmed holes. Here the stream was narrower, not over fifty feet wide and flowed more smoothly. On the opposite side lay many dead trunks of trees that had lodged there during some flood. Williams loosened the rope he earried and with greaf difficulty las- soed a projecting end of one of the trees, lie threw tlo- ot her of his ro|� e about a tree close to the bank and drew it tight. He tied the end securely and threw the extra roja- at the foot of the tree. The current of the river was running swiftly toward a cascade below. Williams graspc-d the line tirmly, jerking it to test its security, slowly lie swung his legs into the water dragging his body forward hand over hand on tin- upper side of the rope. Hudson watched him from the bank. The engi- neer's ImmIv was whirled to one side by the current. The rojH sagged, gradually drawing tighter and tighter under the strain. His progress became harder as he struggled against tin force of the stream. He was almost to tin- middle of the stream. Suddenly he hesitated and clung to to the rope. As Hudson looked a strange thing happened. It looked as though some great person was pulling the en- gineer by the feet. He sank slowly until the water was foaming about his head. Hudson saw him struggle madly and lift himself by the ro|ie. He moved barely a few inches. Then the rodman knew he was caught in an eddy and the undertow was sucking him in. Higher than the roar of the stream came tin engineer's frightened cry for help. A deathly fear crept over Hudson. He knew a tight for life was going on in midstream. The first sensation of fear disappeared as quickly as it 11;i«1 come ami Hudson instantly ton oil his «-oat and boots. Hatliering in tin extra rope about the tre« In quickly tied the end of it about his waist. In the river Williams hung on to the line, but his small IhmIv was tossed alumt like a chip and several times he was aliimst jerked loose. He was dragged under every time his Indd let-aine relaxed. As his head rame l«� the surfa«« In half o|M ned his eyes and saw Hudson coming toward him. The glimpse of the tall rodman coming nearer him gave him new hope and his grip tightened as lie again «dosed his ey« s. As Hudson swung along the line tin rope sagged lower and lower until it touched the water. It jerked and quiver- ed under the strain. Suppos« it broke before he reaehed the engineer? lie had not thought of that. Kadi moment tin stream «lashed higher about him. tearing «qien the front of his shirt and dashing water int«� his eyes, blurring his sight. Thanks to his work at the camp, he knew something about the water. Kvery instant found him nearer and nearer, his strong arms pulling him along inch by inch. In front of him h« saw dimly the black head of the engineer, but he was growing « old. Would he be able to reach him? He knew he could not last nitirh longer. Would his strength hold out? Oh, if he « ould reach him. These ami many other thoughts surg« d through tin rodman’s brain, but still he struggled tl« r«-elv on. Sudden- ly the line jerked violently. Through his blurre«l gaze In? dimly saw one of the engineer's hands «-bitch tin air. “Hold on he cried. “I'm coming. Williams. I’m « om ing. He threw his laxly forward desperately sliding on top of tin water. He reached blindly for the liaml In had seen. Then the rope snapped. He felt his body being carried down stream under the surface, but with even the fear of death upon him, lie clutched out blindly and gras|x-«l an open shirt front. In a second he came to the surface chok- ing and blinded. It was no use to struggle in that liero� current. He grasped the engineer tighter and the force of the river car- ried them along, always nearer the bank, for tin rope around his waist caused them to swing in a great quarter circle. He was almost exhausted. The body «if tin engineer was still in his grasp. He usc ! all of his remaining strength in keeping his head above the water. When he came to the bank Hudson crept feeblx up between tw«i boulder , pulling the nnconseimis engineer after him. TIi« ii lie sank lia k on the hard rock. As he lay there completely exhausti ), tin hours drag- ged slowly « n ami the sun sank below the canon wall. At last In was startled by the «-racking of a stick «m the bank above him, and opening his eyes In saw the rest of tin party on tin rocks above him. Williams was struggling for his breath by liis si«l« . Leaning upon Ills elbow In- t«dd what had happened • We were almost gone. he said. fs pretty a mug out there.

Mary. said ila- i l. “I have just heard we are going to have Domestic Sri ence and Domestic Art this year. “Yes, said Mary. “I heard that too. and .Miss Dean, the teacher, has already nr rived. I waited to hear no more, hut hurried on to the uudi toriiim. wondering if it could he true that we were reallv going to have Domestic Science or if it were only a dream. Hut when in the auditorium I counted all the teachers, old and new. and found one extra, “from existing conditions and natural conclusions. I decided she must Is the Domestic Science teacher. After announcements and remarks had lieen finished, we were told that those who wished to take Domestic Sci- ence or Art might remain. To the surprise of everyone more than half the girls remained. It did take a long time to get started, owing to contlicts and other things, and we girls thought we were never going to get a chance to “cook.” Hut finally the day came and we. the .Junior Class, were intro- duced to tin kitchen. And an ideal kitchen it was. in every sense of the word. Our attention was first attracted by a shining gas range, which looked very inviting and ready for the most delicious things to lie cooked on it and in it. Ve found that each girl was to have a desk and n place for everything and she was to keep everything in its place. On top of the desks ran a long gas pipe with a burner at each desk, and over the pi|e was a wire frame. al� out five inches wide and it was on this we were to cook most of our delicacies. In the desks we found a sauce pan. a strainer, spoons, knives, cups and a big brown bowl. When someone said “what on earth is that. we were politely informed it SCIENCE was a mixing lx� wl. Then tinder the desks each girl found a dishpan and scrub brush. Why that means we’ll have to wash dishes ’ said Mary Kllen. and we were all half sick of our bargain. Hut never- theless we went on admiring and wondering, to the sinks, the laundry, where we found tubs, wringers and other para- phernalia. which meant we had to wash dish cloths as well as dishes. Then we went to the pantry. It was e |uipi� od with shining rows of all sorts of rooking utensils, some of which we knew the name, if not their use. In one corner was all sorts of stiitT to rook. Now. said Miss Dean, “you are to learn to In good housekeepers as well as cooks. We had ls en informed that we were to wear uniforms, and so on the day of our first lesson we up|ieared wearing white aprons with bibs, white caps and eutfs. The first les- son was in measuring and we of coarse had had no experi- ence. so Miss Dean kept saying. D vel your measures girls. until we were almost exhausted. From measuring we rapidly advanced to making bever- ages. from that to cooking vegetable and still on to hread- making. soups, cakes and pastry. We have given teas, served the Woman’s t’lub and done all sorts of things to demon- strate our cooking. We have rarely made failures and were more candui not to make failures after Miss Dean told us we could eat the food we prepared. We have had good times, good things to eat and have learned to Is skilful cooks, as well as good housekeepers. We certainly return grateful thanks to the Woman's Club for installing a Domestic Science Department in our school. X. '12.

Man Shnacr brought her life to school one inoriiing and lost it. This is the tirst tinu that a life has lieen lost in the High School. Even the great catastrophe which happened to Norris Showalter when he fell down the steps was not as great as this. Mary’s life was tinnlly found in the library and returned to her. Miss Neal “John is there anything which you enjoy now that vou think vou will enjov when vou are seventy years old?” John S.— Yes, I think I’ll like to swim.” Mr. Griffin changed his eating place on Sunday morn- ing.

Miss Neil I don't believe that you have quite the right idea. Norris.” Some brilliant remarks of the Juniors in their classes: “Edward V was the daughter of Edward VI.” “The grandfathers of Janies II and Ismis XIV were the same man.” “If I saw a man start from home with a sum of money, which I knew another man was going to steal. I would lie justified in taking it myself.”—Carol. “Scott wrote ‘As Yon Like It.’” A Junior translating French: “A little girl with a long dress with the sleeves reaching down to her toes came into the room. Mr. Griffin—tin history)—“Ruth what is the protective tarilT for?” R. Barnes—“To protect ships.” Mr. G.— From what?” R.
