DEDICATION. To those of our number, who, heeding the call of our country in her time of «lire need, have taken up arms and gone out to light—to die if need be—that Liberty and Dem- ocracy may be made safe for the whole world, this book is proudly dedicated. “Here’s to our sailor lads in blue As they sail on the storm tossed sea. May the courage of Dewey be with them all And the victory their's shall be. Here’s to our boys in khaki dressed When they reach the fields of France. May the spirit of Washington fill their hearts When the captain shouts. “Advance.” And here’s to our brave lads all as one As thev dare to defend the right. May God with His tenderest loving care Protect them and our flag so bright. E. G. M.. 19. F. H. S. MEN Graduated Class of 1904—Clyde Kinsey—Fort Totten. !25 t- Mdc I y man—Captain. Camp Shelbv.

Over all our lair land the youth of the nation is buckling on sword and scabbard to fight the ruthless and arrogant Hun of Ignorance. Armies arc being raised; battleships manned; the whole country rises to eject this enemy, sub- jection to whom means mental degradation. One of the most gallant battleships manned is the Superdreadnaught l II S. which set sail from port upon the morning of September 17. 1917. Captain Colebank, his eye fixed unswervingly on the advancing enemy, keeps careful watch for the submarines of C arelessness, Laziness, and Desire for Pleasure which are ever lurking near the surface ready to sink the vessel. Able Seamen of the Moore Command, already scenting victory in the air. fight brave- ly. secure in the knowledge that only one more hard battle lies between them ami vic- tory. The Hutchinson C rack Gun Crew, also battle scarred, not yet scenting immediate victory, still fight bravely and uncomplainingly, knowing that success must at last crown their efforts. The Barnes Midshipmen, though unused to the hardships of war, yet Hushed with the success of their first engagement, show every indications of settling down into hard and seasoned tars. The Apprentices, fresh drafted green from their experiences in the training school, as yet untried by the din of battle, show unbounded enthusiasm, ex- uberant optimism that give signs of the able seamen of the future. Although always in fighting trim, ready to repel every advance of the foe. this battle- ship is able occasionally to indulge in athletic contests with neighboring battleships of other fleets at such times the deck is cleared for action. The strongest and bravest are chosen, and always the F. H. S. comes off with a fair share of glory. Was there ever an army or a navy without its slackers? Alas, no. except in song or story. Truth compels us to record that on the good ship I . 11. S. there are oc- casionally those who resort to camouflage to cover defects in preparation for the battle at hand. Not long, however, does it take the vigilant lieutenants of our worthy captain to uncover such attempts, and' then comes retribution swift and sure! And SO our ship sails on. through storm and stress, with ictorv perched high on her banner, lighting and winning her battle for freedom from the slavery of Ignorance. Many more battles will be fought, many more victories won. before the good ship reaches |K rt. but no braver or more dauntless crew will ever man the I . H. S. than that of the present. MR. CLYDE E. HUTCHINSON. The sponsor of the class of T9 was born at Smithtown. Monongalia County, July 16. 18f I. He received his education in the public schools of West Virginia and the State University. He began a successful busi- ness career as a merchant in Smithtown and King wood. He engaged in railroad construction work in 1886-87. having a contract to grade a railroad from Philippi to Belington. In 188« he entered the coal busi- ness, opening and operating mines at Beachwood. Murray. Opakiska and Hutchinson, in Marion and Monongalia Counties, and is now ac- tively in the operation of mines in Harrison. Marion, Logan. Mason and Kanawha Counties. West Virginia, and Belmont County, )hio. Mr. Hutchinson was married in 1886 to Miss Lyda Watkins, of Fairmont. They have made their home here ever since, with the excep- tion of a few years spent in Chicago, and have been leaders in the busi- ness and social life of the community. It has been the custom heretofore to dedicate Maple Leaves to the class sponsor, but at the timely suggestion of Mr. Hutchinson, this volume has been dedicated to tbe boys represented by our service dag. NAVAL BOARD. Superintendent Otis G. Wilson. Commissioner C. E. Smith. President G. M. Alexander, Secretary Ross A. Watts, Com- missioner Clyde Morris, ft REAR ADMIRAL OTIS G. WILSON. Like tlu majority of men who have won fame on both sea and land, Admiral Wilson began life on a farm. Showing at an early age inclinations toward a nautical life, he entered training at the Wesleyan Naval Academy. His next training was received on the battleship W. V. I'. Feeling himself un- fitted. as yet. to take command of a ship and having a de- termination to excel in his chosen profession. Admiral Wilson took further training on the ships Chicago” and “Columbia. Mis early determination stood him in good stead, for by- constant perseverance he has risen from one high position to another, until in 1915 he relinquished the command of the fleet of Elkins to become head of the Fairmont Fleet Admiral Wilson has held several honorary positions. In 1912 he was appointed a member of the State Text Book Commission and in 1914 elected President of the West Vir- ginia Education Association. He has done his work excep- tionally well, and no past commander could have served better than Admiral Wilson. 10 CAPTAIN GEORGE H. COLEBANK. On September 8, 1914. a great calamity befell the city of Grafton. It was on that date that they lost Captain Cole- bank. for he came to take command of the Superdreadnaught l 11. S. Of all the commanders our ship has had. Captain Colcbank is proving himself one of the most capable. Well fitted by training on the good ship West Libert) State Normal' and W. V. U..” he took his first command on the M. 11. S.. going from this position to the larger vessel G. 11. S. He was called front this position to the still higher command of the F. 11. S. He has shown unusual ability in the management of both ship and crew, and it is safe to assume that the Super dreadnaught will escape shipwreck and conic to port in safety. LIEUTENANTS. Mr. Colchank of course takes the lead. And gives us whatever we need. If any get gay. He has something to say. To which we most surely should heed. Our advisor’s name is Miss Oldham. If the girls chew gum she will scold ’em. She is helpful and kind. The best we could find. And everyone does as she’s told ’em. Then there is Miss Cora Kincaid. She’s a very fine woman, ’tis said. She gives hut few E’s. Though many V P’s. And we’re glad if she gives us a grade. Miss Neel. you know, teaches us French, And often our ardor she’ll quench. For she conjugates verbs With a flourish of words. As we sit in a row on a bench. W e have a teacher named Dance. For good grades, he gives us a chance. Twould seem very bad. And we all would be sad. If he’d go to the trenches in France. LIMERICKS FOR LIEUTENANTS (By Ruth Watkins.) I’ll start now about our Miss Ross, W ho never is known to be cross. She can teach algebra. And all the folks say. ” ur gain is somebody’s loss. Miss Adams can teach botany. She knows every plant and each tree Till we all do our best. She will give us no rest, I i we pass. ( h! so happy we’ll be. Our music is taught by Miss Dudgeon. Who often keeps time with a bludgeon They say she’s her best W’hen she comes to a rest. If we are permitted the judgin’. Miss Chriswell teaches Domestic Art, And shows us the styles so lovely and smart. They are all up to date. nd not one minute late. When we wear them we fear Cupid’s dart. Miss Jacobs assists in the sewing. I low we love her she’s no way of knowing. Ml the stitches we take In each garment we make. We try to make a good showing. Another is Mr. Musgrave. nd we think he is awfully brave. For he plows, and he rakes. And fine gardens he makes. His farm knowledge we certainly crave. Miss Wolf is not very tall. And her name doesn’t fit her at all. )f her we arc proud. And we say it aloud. And we come at her beck and her call. There’s one who is known as Miss Newman. Who sends lots of books to the sea- man. So heed to her call. Bring magazines all. And help this helpful Miss Newman. Mr. Moore is often called Daddy, lie’s loved by each lass and laddie. We always do find Him a teacher most kind. So into his classroom we paddy. If at Miss (iaskill you look You can tell she’s a very good cook. Sandwiches she makes, Mso salads and cakes. Not all of it came from her book. 12 Miss GaskiU's assistant's. Miss Walker. As everyone knows she's a talker. She winks her blue eyes, nd makes the best pics, nd in cooking we know she's no balkcr. Mr. Hawkins teaches Manual Train- ing. And comes to school when it is rain- ing. lie'll pound and he'll saw, nd help the boys draw. Very practical things they arc gaining. This is to Herbert F. Moore. Who played ball till his lingers were sore. And some of the guys. (lave him two black eyes. When he played on the Clarksburg gytn floor. Miss Yocrodt takes care of the books. And gives some very wise, looks. For the Y. W. C. A. She works every day. And her voice is like clear sparkling brooks. Miss Hodges arranges our fun. And gives to us many a pun. And many a laugh To cut troubles in half. We hope she has only begun. 1'his is our worthy Miss Paul, About art she knows it ‘most all. She's adorned with dark hair. To her none can compare. Kven though she is not very tall. Here's to our red-haired Miss Moore, W ho stands on the study hall floor. She runs us away From the heater each day. And says. Please loaf here no more. Mr. Carpenter’s name would suggest That at housebuilding lie could do best. Hut that is not true As he can show you. When he gives a Geometry test. I'll speak of our Mr. Yangilder. His learning would, almost bewilder. One pupil we find Tried to fathom his mind. And some one reported it killed her. Miss Lcaman is next on the floor. This teacher we all do adore. She can sing like a lark From daylight till dark. And still we wish slic’d sing more. is We have Miss Daisy Wedding to note. For a wedding we always will vote. For we’re happy and gay. To think that some day. We shall be in the very same boat. Miss Watson bails from Kentucky. To get her we think we are lucky. For as a typewriter So one could be brighter. And we think she is awfully plucky. Miss Davis comes next on the list. If she’d leave she’d be very tnuch missed. ()n the year l ook she works. And her duty ne'er shirks. And we're glad that she’s here to assist. The praises of all we do sing. As we think of the good that they bring. And the sorrows and joys. To the girls ami boys. Hut we’ve come to the end of the string. Officers. President ....... Acting President Secretary ....... Treasurer ....... Historian ....... Archie Meredith Raymond Salvatti .....Olive Crush . ..

(The Prize Story.) liattic Bradley, '21. About a year ago some school friends and 1 had a very thrilling experience, which we shall likely never forget. We had been discussing for several weeks how we should spend the coming vacation. We at last decided upon a plan. A few miles out in the suburbs of the city was a very pretty yellow cottage, surrounded by old-iashioncd roses and flow- ers almost choked out by weeds. Yet the house and its sur- roundings still had a peculiar beauty, despite the fact of its having been seriously neglected. The most interesting thing about the house, however, was that the people of tjtc town declared it to be haunted. True, it was mostly old people who told of seeing strange lights and hearing weird noises, but the house had long been deserted. Renter after renter had moved in one day and out the next, telling unbelievable tales of ghosts and strange lights and noises. It did not look like a place where ghosts would choose to live, with the sunshine pouring down upon it and the roses climbing over the faded yellow walls. The house stood in a rather lonely spot on a hill surrounded by stretches of green pasture. There was no other house in sight and no human being could be seen anywhere, only occasion- ally the call of a bob white or whip-poor-will could be heard in the distance. Our plan, of course, was to stay all night in the house and defy the ghosts if there were any and w e firmly believed there were not. Why we ever came to decide upon such a a plan I do not know, unless it were partly to show the super- stitious people of the town that they were entirely wrong in believing that the house was haunted, and partly because of the beautiful grounds and fine water. We had the very kind permission of Mrs. Straus, the owner of the house, who un- doubtedly thought that if we spent a night in the house un- disturbed. she would have no more trouble in securing rent- ers. Vacation at last came and we set about merrily pre- paring to spend a week in the haunted house: that is. pro- viding the ghosts did not carry us off the first night. On the very first day of our vacation we went in cars to explore the haunted house. Our little party consisted of three girls, my two brothers. Cousin Xed and Mrs. Lamdcn. our chaperon. Mrs. Straus had given us the keys and we went boldly in. The cottage consisted of six rooms, rather large and fur- nished in old-fashioned furniture. They were poorly lighted and looked dreary. We set about at once to brush the dust is I from the windows and pull up the shades. The house, on the whole, had a deserted and dreary aspect. The probability of ghosts hiding behind the heavy por- tiers and lurking in the dark corners did not seem at .all im- probable. However, we soon had the many candles lighted and a merry fire burning in the grate of the big living room. The whole house seemed to have an entirely different aspect by night. The pale moonlight illuminated the lonely house and grounds in a rather ghostly way and it was remarkable how different its appearance was from that in the afternoon. Anyone getting cold feet?” asked my brother laughingly. We all assured him that we were no nearer being frightened than he. For want of something to do I began to look about the room. 1 noticed a large, old-fashioned mirror, cased in heavy dark oak, which, although slightly worn off, was still beau- tiful and had probably once been a very valuable family relic. I looked at the mirror intently for some moments, then I gave a low cry, for I saw reflected in it a very beautiful woman, with heavy dark hair. “What is it?” they cried. “Have you seen a ghost? “The mirror! That woman! I exclaimed excitedly. All eyes were now turned to the mirror, but the reflection had disappeared and nothing now remained but the smoothly polished surface of the glass reflecting my own frightened face. They laughed unbelievingly when I told them what I had seen, and soon the mirror was forgotten. W c had quite a merry time telling ghost stories around the fireside, for al- though it was late spring and scarcely cool enough for a fire, we felt that the blazing coals helped somewhat to chase away the weirdness. Thus the time passed very quickly until ten-thirty, when we all went to our rooms. Possibly it was the remembrance of the mirror which made me start nervously at the least sound. My chum. Rose, shared my room. The other two girls were preparing for bed. At length we fell asleep, only to be awakened, as if by some strange power. Exactly on the hour of midnight we were suddenly startled by a woman's low. musical laugh, a laugh like so many silver bells. I grasped Rose's arm and we both sat upright in bed. The laugh was repeated, this time more distinct and nearer. We had told each other that. as the bedrooms were adjoining, if any of us saw or heard anything wc were to pound on the wall. We sprang up and pounded violently, just as the other girls pounded. They too had heard the strange laughing. Shall wc go to the other girls’ room?’’I asked Rose, who assented nervously. But the halls were so very «lark we hesitated. Then we fairly flew through the dark hall toward the other girls’ room. Was it imagination or did we really sec a white figure glide away and vanish at the other end of the dark hall? All was quiet now, but wc were still so nervous that we decided to awaken the boys. To our surprise they were all ready awake and dressed. They too had heard the peculiar laugh of a woman. We re- turned to the living room and relighted the many candles and prepared to sit up the remainder of the night. At exactly one-thirty the living room door opened noise- lessly. as of its own accord. A woman stepped into the threshold. I recognized with terror the woman I had seen in the mirror. The same wild eyes and white face. The same heavy black hair. She was dressed all in white and her filmy robes or dresses seemed to be entangled with the air. She Stood and stared at us for what seemed to be hours, yet in reality was only a few moments. Her pale lips parted and she laughed the same rippling, musical laughter we had heard before. Then she vanished into thin air. When we were recovered from the shock, all of us cling- ing to the other, frightened almost out of our wits, the first thing we did was to get out of the house as quickly as | ossiblc. We tumbled into the cars outside and soon left the house far in the distance. As we were carried farther away T saw a face at one of the windows. It was that of the woman we had seen before, and I had an opi� ortunity to notice her more closely, being no longer so frightened. She was no longer glaring at us with that awful stare, but when she saw me looking at her she laughed, seemingly triumphant and happy that she had frightened us away. The boys were almost as frightened as we girls, which was considered a splendid joke. Of course the townspeople could not disbelieve what we all declared so vehemently and the next day a | arty of explorers went out to give the old house a thorough search. A trap door was found which led into the basement, where there was a suite of rooms. Their existence had never been known. Of course I was among the explorers, which con- sisted of the town’s officers and some teachers and students. The first room which we found was small and dimly lighted. The furniture consisted of a table and four chairs. There were a few portraits of German noblemen and one of the Kaiser. We discovered a number of valuable papers which we found, to our surprise, to contain valuable United States secrets. On the wall was a motto in a gilded frame. For Germany. German spies!” we all cried in a chorus. We decided that it would probably be safer to go for more officers before we proceeded any farther with our in- vestigatum. We returned in the evening with more officers and detectives. The next room we entered proved to be a woman's bou- doir. It was furnished in rose and blue and on the costly davenette a woman was sleeping. Her long black hair swept down to the floor. I recognized with a feeling of terror the woman I had seen before. That is she, I cried, the woman who frightened us. Our entrance awoke her and she sprang from the couch and made a dash for the door. Her escape was stopped, how- ever. by one of the officers. Ife told her that she had been neatly caught, and that her companions bad all confessed Though she hhd been a brave woman the thought of capture had always been her greatest fear. She broke down entirely and confessed that she and her three brothers were German spies. She said that her name was Madame Von Fetter Hauf, the noted German actress, and that they were working for Germany’s interest. In regards to the ghost, that was only one of the clever actress’s plans. Her object was to keep everyone frightened away so that the conspirators could hold their secret meet- ings undisturbed. During the excitement her three brothers entered the room. They were taken into custody at once. All arc now- serving life sentences in one of our prisons, and the yellow- cottage is no longer known as the haunted house. 47 WHAT WE CAN DO. E. A. B., ’20. Listen, dear students, and you shall hear A story that’s not of 1’aul Revere. But something more recent and up-to-date, Something that's told both early and late. You know how Washington for us fought And our homelands dearly bought. How our fathers died on the battlefield While swords so bravely they did yield. Well, think of then and think of now. Compare it with the present row Among all nations upon the earth. How can we save the nation of our birth? They need many men both great and brave: Yes, men like Washington, to save Our country’s cause and right-of-way. But how can we help?’’ does someone say. Our boys are doing their level best. Fighting for us and all the rest. Let us do our part to comfort and cheer And banish their dreadful thoughts of fear. Father can buy a Liberty Bond; Mother can knit for her boy so fond: And wc of the dear old F. 11. S. Can buy Thrift Stamps, we all confess. So take my advice and get to work. From doing your part you must not shirk. If you want America First’’ to be. Buy a Thrift Card and results you’ll see. Though all that you do will help along. There’s nothing better than a home song. Or a cheerful letter written by you. To comfort lads as they go through. THE FUTURE FAIRMONT. Edith Moran, T9. As the train nears Fairmont 1 am as impatient and eager as a child expecting a new toy, although I am really a very old woman returning to the city of my youth, after an absence of fifty years. 1 feel confident that 1 can never he a stranger in dear, old, dirty Fairmont. But as the train pulls into the station I have a vague sense of misgiving, and when 1 step into the crowded station I am completely puzzled and confused. After being directed to the street I find that this wonderful architectural triumph occupies the same corner where the Monongahela Station formerly stood. Feeling very overawed by the strangeness of everything. I take a taxi and order the driver to take me through the principal sections of the city. . . . I sit half dazed trying to cope with the changes which are constantly confronting me. Of course. I expect changes, but this is so far beyond my expectations. As we leave the Central Station, instead of crossing the little old rickety bridge 1 find myself on the most wonderful suspension bridge I have ever seen. The driver informs me that this is the longest bridge in the States. I remember now that this bridge was talked of when I was in dear old Fairmont High. I notice that dirty, filthy Water Street has disappeared and a beautiful clean street lined with block after block of stone business buildings has taken its place. In fact, all the streets are much cleaner, and they are all paved. There arc wonderful drives with garden plots bordering them, boule- vards and children's playgrounds. There arc subway cars and street cars to all parts of the city. The loop at Norwood is completed. Norwood is no more a small addition to Fairmont, but a very busy section of the city itself. , It grows very late in the evening and suddenly I am aware of the fast approaching night. I order the driver to take me to a hotel. We now start down Fairmont Avenue and what used to be Main Street, which is now known as The Great White Way. The wonderful lights are so beautiful and so much beyond my expectations that I rub and wink my eyes to make sure that I am not dreaming. After driving through section after section of the city, with its pretty shade trees, its magnificent buildings and beautiful parks. I wonder how this old city could make such swift progress. Then I think of the old superstition that Rome owed its greatness to the fact that it was built on seven hills. I smile with a feeling of satisfaction that the mystery is solved when 1 think that Fairmont must be built on seventy-seven hills. Now as I sit in my elegantly appointed suite at the hotel and ponder over the changes that have taken place in the general aspect of the city and I am amazed at my own incon sistcncy. I might have known that Fairmont, with its won- derful natural resources, its geographical position and its in- telligent and ambitious citizens, would and will progress. And what is progress but constant revision, reversion ami change? MY MOST THRILLING EXPERIENCE. Violette McCloskey. '20. We were all seated around the camp fire that night when someone remarked that if each one told of his most thrilling experience we would be able to spend a very interesting evening. For a few moments there was silence around the circle of campers while each thought over his past experiences. Then, suddenly, a determined looking young fellow named Trent spoke up. I might as well start the ball roll- ing.” he said. T suppose many of you have had just as ex- citing experiences as the one I am going to tell about, but this one 1 shall always remember. But then. I may bore you.” “Oh. no! chorused the group of campers. “Let's hear it.” “Well.’' began Trent, it happened this way. We lived, when I was a boy. along this very river where we are now camping, near a train trestle. One day. Jim Stone, my chum, and I were playing in the wood when 1 happened to glance out on the trestle, and there I saw, to my dismay, Mary Stone, Jim's sister, a little girl about four years old. She had fallen down on the tracks and seemed unable to get up. Jim and I realized the danger of being caught on the trestle, which was about one hundred yards long and double tracked. We had been forbidden to cross and we knew that Mary must have disobeyed her mother or else that there was no one at Stone's home. A train was due to cross in fifteen minutes and we knew that we had no time to spare. Mary was crying and waving her hands to us. She was too small to help herself. For a moment we could not make out what was the matter with her. Suddenly Jim exclaimed. She must have her foot caught in some way. We'll have to help her! A train is due in twelve minutes now!’ We called to my house for help but there was no an- swer. Realizing that we must hurry, we rushed out upon the trestle, our hearts in our throats. Mary was in the mid- dle of the bridge and in a few moments we had reached her side. Jim was baffled in his attempt to pull her toot from a wedge in the track. Mary tried to explain that she had come out to take a walk on the nice shining rails. We tried in every way to pull off her shoe. 1 was ter- rified at the situation, but Jim, who was older and more cour- ageous, coolly tried to think of some way to save his little sister. Suddenly he hit upon a plan, and taking out his | cn- knife. which was very sharp, quickly cut off the sole of Mary’s shoe. In a moment she was free, but not before wc heard the shrill whistle of an approaching train. Jim picked his sister up and we started on a run along the narrow boardwalk between the two tracks. We were certainly thankful to be out of danger, as you can well im- agine. Should the train cross the trestle, we knew that if wc had not reached the bank we could step back on the other track until it passed. We had not yet reached the bank when the train thun- dered out across the bridge. Naturally we stepped to the other track, when to our horror we heard the warning whis- tle of another train coming in the opposite direction, along the very track where we were standing! We stepped back to the narrow boardwalk, barely two feet wide and waited, terrified. The river lay shining a hundred feet below us; we were caught between two trains; a boardwalk two feet wide was the o: I thing that lay between us and sure destruction. I screamed. ’Let's jump into the river.’ and I made a move as if to leap. “But Jim was quick witted and he «lid not mean to give up so easily. His pluck and courage were admirable. ‘Quick!’ he cried. 'Do just as I do!’ He lay down along the l oard walk on his side, his hands and feet close together, making himself as narrow as possible. 1 lay down in the same manner and we held Mary between us in such a way as to protect her as much as possible. You can imagine that wc were terribly frightened. Mary and I wcie crying. But Jim said. ‘Lome on, now, we’ll be all right. Close your eyes and lie perfectly still! Don’t dare to move!’ By this time both trains were on the trestle, and in a moment were whizzing past us. The roar and rattle was worse than a hundred thunder storms. The flying wheels whirled past, throwing off cinders and sparks. If we had attempted to stand up wc would have been thrown from our feet by the rushing wind. To this day I don’t understand how we ever stuck to that narrow boardwalk. It was certainly one of the miracles of my life. The moments seemed hours and 1 dimly wondered when the awful noise would be over and we would be no more. But by some divine will the trains finally passed and we lay gasping, choking and almost «leaf, but safe. It certainly did not take us long to reach the hanks and we were very thankful to be on firm earth again. From that day I have hated the sight of a trestle. The memory of the experience will always be with us. “But now,” finished Trent. I am ready to hear some other experiences.” Not for tonight! came from the listeners. ( ne thriller like that is enough for one evening. We’ll keep the others until another time. t' PAPAS BOUGHT A LIMOUSINE. Chas. Reed. '20.

Edward Ralston, a young American artist, left home at the age of eighteen, and went to England to study. For five years he roamed about in the different foreign countries, study- ing the life of the peasants, in order to fulfill his dream or a painting that would make him famous A Peasant and Family.” Reaching Berlin, in April. 1914. he found the people greatly excited, also, the good hotels filled with the supposed Ruitur” of Germany. He was forced to seek shelter in one of the third-class hotels, which I can assure you is not desir- able in (iermany. Finally, he reconciled himself with the thought. IVrhaps I may he able to study the German people to better advantage.’ One morning, a few months later. Ralston went out into the city, and found everyone in great turmoil. Little German newsboys ran wildly down the street shrieking the words. Kriege ist Itier,” meaning War is here. Women fainted, realizing what that meant, while the men went about scow l ing and conversing in low tones. Although Ralston could not understand German as well as French and other foreign languages, he was able to catch the drift of different comet sat ions, and they proved to him that that was not altogether a wholesome place even for an American. Crossing the city square, he mounted the marble steps leading to the Art Museum, and sj ent perhaps an hour in the building. Then he retraced his steps. While doing so. he suddenly decided to go home, not to Fngland. but back to peaceful America. On reaching his room, he stopped. To his amazement everything was topsy-turvy, the dresser drawers had been rifled, and on going to the wardrobe he found that it had aiso been emptied. His first thought was of his passport and money. Making a thorough search, and not discovering them, he rushed madly down the steps in search of the landlord, who was still outside. Again a search was made, and not having found them this time. Ralston felt the sensation of weakness clear to his toes. How can I ever go hack to America without a pass- port and money ?’ he groaned. Wh'V st P romlcrim� over this, there was a rush of many feet up the stairway. The door of his room was burst o| en. Six German police ordered with raised weajHMis. Hand up!” Ralston obeyed, of course, still dazed with his recent loss. “You are arrested as a British spy.” spoke the leader in distinct German. Although Ralston protested violently, and tried to make them understand that his passports and money had just been stolen and that he could prove his identity, his hands were placed in handcuffs and he was led to jail to await trial on the morrow. The day dawned and Ralston was escorted to trial. There he made his plea in clear, ringing tones, that had decidedly a 30 British accent which he had acquired during his travel� . This accent, perhaps, was the main reason for suspicion at first. The only pica he was able to gi c was that he knew he was an American, and could prove it by cabling home, as he had been robbed of all available papers of identification. The jury considered this a feeble excuse, as he had the Knglish accent, so they sentenced him to “Death at the next dawn. They explained their hurry by saying that they want- ed to make an example of him, to show that Germany would not stand for spies. Me was then taken to a stone structure on the edge of the city, where carrier pigeons had once been kept. The place had been Jtaken over about two months before and con- verted into a prison. Rack in his cell. Ralston thought of his home and his friends, and wondered if they would ever know the truth. He had made his plea as strong as possible, but it was of no avail, and now his voung life was to be taken, just when it seemed the best and fullest of hope, on account of bare autocracy. He cursed the Germans and their government when he thought of this. Suddenly a pigeon alighted on the window sill, far up on his stone wall. As the guard was gone, he placed a chair on the prison cot and was soon stroking the pigeon through the bars and thinking of when he was a little chap ami had a flock of them. A piece of paper showing among the feathers. Ralston pounced upon it and read half bclievinglv. If you receive this, sign you name on the paper and send it back bv the carrier pigeon and wait patiently. A. G. Quickly fol- lowing instructions. Ralston sent the pigeon off: then he sat down and waited and pondered A. G.! Who in the world could that he? Oh. yes! Allison Gordan! Of all people! She. an merican. his most hitter and successful rival in the world of art! They had often met. though hut few words had they snoken Soon the pigeon came hack, bringing in its bill a small package. After leaving this on the sill, it flew away, only to return a little later with a much larger bundle. ITe cautious’' climbed to the window and procured the parcels, hut ittst in the nick of’time, because the sentry took up his post of duty almost immediately. t twilight the guard fell into a drunken sleen. This rave Ralston time to investigate the parcels, which he found to contain a .«short length of rope, steel file with which the iron bars could be cut. and a note which read. Meet me at Zweiti Strasse at one o'clock tonight. A. G. At twelve-thirty the guard was still asleep. The bars were cut. the rope fastened, and Ralston climed out of the window, lie reached the street safely and noiselessly, for the rain was pouring in torrents, thus drowning all other sounds. The sentries were all under shelter, so he crept softly through the night beyond the prison boundaries. • A car was waiting at Zweiti Strasse. Allison and Ralston sat on the back seat, while a German chauffeur drove to a little town twenty miles away. They did not speak until they hoarded the train for France; then Allison handed Ralston his passports and money and told him her story. She was in front of his boarding house when one of the servants rushed out looking very excited, with a large bundle. Later her uncle told her about the robbery, the trial and the verdict. She had bribed the servant and had got the articles above mentioned. She then secured a carrier pigeon that had been one of the brood that had been housed in the particular house in which Ralston was then held a prisoner. She the a accomplished the rest, of which we know, because she knew he was an American, and not a British spy. Although he v.as her rival, she could not sit idly by and see one of her coun- trymen wronged. Ralston was so overwhelmed with grati- tude that he was speechless for some time. Later he said to her that from henceforth and forever he would be her real friend and be ready to do her bidding. The train was held up and passports had to be shown manv times before thev reached Kngland. There Allison cabled her relatives in Berlin that she had arrived safely. About a week later they caught the first glance of The Statue of Liberty. and knew that they were again on free ami peaceful soil. She went to her old home in Virginia, and he remained at his in N'ew York, but only for a short time, for they were ro longer bitter rivals. Far from it. for they were, by that time, true lovers. Yow they are in France. He is an American aviator and she. his wife, is an American Red Cross nurse, each doing not his bit. but his best for America and France. BOYS FROM F. H. S.

F.unicc Kelley. '20. We were spending our first night at camp. The frogs were croaking and the owls were screeching to their mates. The water was rushing against the hank and the moon was halt hidden by a cloud, thus causing everything to look ghostly. As we were tired from moving that day we all retired early and soon fell asleep. I was awakened suddenly by mv girl friend grabbing hold of me and saying in a whisper. “What is that noise?” I lay there and listened, for by this time I was wide awake. Then from across the water came a weird call for licio! It sounded as if someone were in great distress. We both sprang tip in bed. thoroughly frightened, and then again came that pleading call for help. We crawled silently out of bed. and carefully avoiding all white objects we went to mv father's room and called in a low voice to him. We did not have to call, for he also had heard the sound. What is it. girls? he asked. Father, I asked, “did you hear that cry? Yes. girls, but you go back to bed and I'll see what it is.’ Oh! let us go with you.” we begged. He objected to our going at first, but finally consented. Yc dressed hurriedly, and following close at my father's heels, we hastily went down to the boat. It was but a few seconds until we were ready to start in the direction of the noise. The cry seemed just across the river from our camp, where another family was camping. As we were about half way across the river a light stid denly gleamed out over the water and just as suddenly dis appeared again. We reached the bank and silently felt our way up to the camp by the aid of a flashlight. The cry for help had ceased for a few moments, but just as we reached the foot of the steps it cried out again in a de- spairing voice. The last cry encouraged us to go on and we went up to the door and knocked. A man opened the door and we thought, Here is our murderer. The man was heavy set. with piercing black eyes and thick, bushy grey hair. We were immediately dis- appointed. for when the man spoke, instead of a gruff voice, he said, in a mild, kind voice. Did you come to see who was being killed? Well, just step right in and I’ll show him to you. We started in the door and the cry for help was heard again. The man laughed and we. mystified, followed him in the room, lie pointed to the corner and said, There it is. Wc sto xl staring, with our eyes wide open, for in a cage was a parrot calling loudly for help. 1 was just telling my wife that wc would have all of the campers up here in a little while if that parrot didn't shut up. said the man. I don’t know what possessed it to cry out like thatjn the night. It never did it before. I walked over to the cage and was watching the parrot, when 1 heard the noise. I stepped back. The rest of the pco- ide bad also heard the noise. We all looked in the corner, and there, coiled up. ready to strike, was a large rattlesnake. This was the cause of the parrot’s cry for help. A WARTIME EXPERIENCE. Irene Vincent, '19. Mr. lirown left home one morning in ;i very had humor. To begin with, the day before had been his worklcss «lay ami it was har«l to go back t«i the office, especially as this was helpless day and the office help would be absent. Well. thought Mr. lirown. “maybe a morning paper will cheer me up. Hut. no. this was paperless morning. Mr. lirown entered bis office and hung up his hat. Now for the morning mail. thought he However, it was mailless day. and the fact that mailless day and paperless day came at the same time made the morning miserable for Mr. lirown. As he could find nothing else to do. he decided to call up his wife and ask her if he must come f«� r lunch, as he never could remember what day was lunchless day. He went to the telephone and tried to vain to get central, but after trying f«� r ten minutes he set the 'phone down with a bang, remembering that it was 'phoneless day. After kicking over a chair and throwing the telephone directory at the typewriter, he was reminded by the landlord that it was noiseless day. Mr. Brown, being the best lawyer in the city, had usu- ally more callers and clients than he could manage, and he wondered what was keeping them away. He thought it must cither be calless day « r clientless day. But he was wrong it was lawless day. lie decided to close his � ffice an l go home. He was obliged to walk, as it was earless day. When he got home he found that there had been no preparations for lunch, as his wife was observing eatless day. Mr. Brown was ready to give up, when: Mr. Brown awoke to find himself in bed with the sun shinging brightly in his eyes. Thank goodness.” he cried, it was just a dream. He went down to breakfast, ready to do justice to his customary hot biscuits and tea. Mrs. Brown came in. Hubby, you will have to eat rye toast for breakfast, as this is wheatless day. you know. That's all right, my dear. said Mr. Brown. I’m hun- gry enough to cat anything. Come here while the bread is toasting and I shall tell you my dream. ' THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE THEATER. Ruby Moran, '19. The first theater originated in Greece in 1548. It was a sort of a playhouse out in the open air. with no roof. There were no seats, so the spectators were compelled to stand. To make things more uncomfortable, it was |uite common for rain to be streaming down upon them. All the scenery they had consisted of curtains bearing inscriptions, such as. “'This is a Forest, This is a Prison. All curtains rose from below. Neighboring houses were used as dressing rooms. The most perfect specimen of early Greek theaters is in Athens. In the southern part of France is a Roman theater. Their most elaborate scenery was a three-story scaffold to represent heaven, earth and the other world. The first real theater was built in Rome in 1580. The stage was a three-cornered platform against the wall. A door at the back of the stage, which communicated with the dress- ing room, was used as the general entrance for actors. The orchestras were generally located in the gallery above the stage. In some cases it was located under the stage, where a muffled music was heard. Very bright gas jets were used for footlights. All the seats were located on the stage. Admit- tance fees were one cent for uncushioned and two cents for cushioned seats. In those days, when rich people «lied, they left their clothes to their servants, they, having no use for them, sold them to actors very cheaply. It was not deemed proper for women to appear on the stage, so their parts were played by masked men. If a short man was supposed to take a tall man's part he wore very thick soled shoes to increase his height. In 1661 movable scenery was invented. It has steadily grown more and more elaborate until now it almost over- shadows the drama. The theaters now consist of the stage, auditorium and from one to four balconies. The auditorium is semi-circular. The floors have an upward incline from the footlights to the rear of the theater. On either side oi the stage and in the rear are proper manipulations for scenery and dressing rooms A double stage is used in Madison Square Theater in New York. While one act is in progress the scene for the second act is set on the second stage, which is abovfc'-thc first. When the first act is over, that stage sinks, the other stage is lowered and the new scene is in place, ready for the second act. In some theaters, above the stage are flies where hang pieces of scenery to he lowered into place hv ropes. Below arc corresponding depths, into which they fall. In some case scenery is raised front below as well as lowered from above. In others moving scenery on elec trical rollers are pulled from either side of the stage. One or two men control the lights all over the house from a table at the side of the stage. The gas jet footlights are supplanted by electricity. The orchestra is now usually located immedi- ately in front of the stage. In lfiSO women came on to the stage. After the Revolutionary war prices were twenty-five cents to one dollar. After the Civil war they were fifty cents to one dollar and fifty cents. Since then they have gradually in- creased until now. in the best theaters, they are from two to five dollars. A CHANGE OF HEART. Alma R. Morley, ’20. Mary King was standing by the window watching for Ted Lane Seeing him coming up the steps, she ran to the door and opened it. Mary and Ted attended the Midvillc High School and were good friends, 'fed was a senior and Mary a junior. Guess what I have brought for your Christmas present.” said Ted. Candy,” answered Mary, promptly. She was used to Ted's expensive gifts of chocolates, and liked them. too. Good guesser, aren't you? laughed Ted. What do you say to a spin over to Ruth’s?” Ruth and Dan arc coming here this afternoon. Oh! here they come now, said Mary. Dan and Ruth came in. each offering Mary a gift Mary tried to guess what Dan’s package contained. It was stiff and flat. 1 followed Mr Crowd’s suggestion about giving war saving stamps for Christmas presents.” said Dan. Mary thanked him, but she admitted to herself that she preferred Ted's chocolates. Dan could see that she was not as pleased about the war saving stamps as he had hoped she would he. After Dan and Ruth had left. Ted openly poked fun at Dan and his war saving stamps. Mary did not say much, but the incident started her to thinking. Did she really prefer the chocolates to the war saving stamps in these strenuous war times, when every stamp one bought helped save a life? Ted wanted to please Mary, partly for the same reason that Dan did. namely, that she would use her influence with her father to help them get a position in the hank of which her father was president. When her father came into the room, after Ted had left, she showed the presents to him. She could see that he ap- proved of Dan’s gift. I think that Dan will make a success in whatever line of business he takes up. said Mr. King, as he went out of the room. Ted and Dan were graduated from the Midvillc High School with honors. Anxiously enough, they both went to Mary and asked her to put in a good word for them to her father in regard to a position in the bank. One evening, when Ted was talking to Mary, he said rather suddenly. You know. Mary. I’d—er—would you say a word of praise for a fellow to your lather? Why, yes. said Mary. She remembers what her father had said regarding Dan at Christmas and he had made no comment about Ted. She was rather doubtful as to Ted’s chances of getting a position in the hank because, well, he was a spendthrift, even if she did not like to admit it. She alsr. knew that her father did not approve of a hoy who was a spendthrift. When Dan asked her to put in a good word for him to her father, she said. I’m sorry, but I’ve already promised to help another boy, and you know it would be rather contra- dicting to influence him to engage one for the position atid then turn round and tell him how well fitted the other was for it. 1 think that if you will go to father and ask him about it. you will be more sure of getting the position. When Ted put in his application one of the first questions Mr. King asked him was. Have you bought a Liberty Lorn! or any war saving stamps?” ()t course, you know the an- swer. Mr. King knew that Ted had plenty of money to spend and do with as he pleased, and he also knew that Ted was always bent on having a good time and was not addicted to saving. He told Ted that he was sorry, hut he could not do anything for him. When Dan interviewed Mr. King about the position in the bank he was asked the same question that was asked of l ed. Dan said he was the owner of a one hundred dollar Liberty Bond ami several war saving stamps. Dan filled the rest � i the requirements for the position and it was given to him. Mary sympathized with poor Ted. but secretly she was glad that Dan had got the position. After his failure to get the coveted position, 'fed began to wake up to the fact that lie did spend a lot of money use lessly when he could be helping the government win the war. . . . He went to work in his father’s clothing store and used all the money he saved to buy war saving stamps, lie didn't spend as much money for chocolates and showing the crowd a good time as he had done formerly. . . What surprised him most was the fact that he was as popular as ever with the crowd and that the older people had more re- spect for him. He seemed to get more favor from Mary after he had presented her with a gift of a war saving stamp for her birth- day than he had at Christmas time. Mary was more patriotic- ami frankly preferred war saving stamps to chocolates. One evening when he was counting over the number of war saving stamps he possessed, he said, half aloud. Well, by (ieorge! It is prettv good to be the possessor of these war saving stamps and know that I am helping to end this miserable war. helping to save lives. Yes. it's pretty good to '•e an investor. It makes a fellow feel more independent.” SILENT DEVOTION. Beatrice Lyons. ’19. Carlyle Hardesty was lying in a beautiful spotless white bed in the front t cdroom «if Mrs. Johnson's country home. It was here that he first opened his eyes after that terrible auto- mobile accident, in which he had broken both his legs. A tiny child of four years stood just inside the doorway. Please turn in. Tony.” the boy pleaded to a large collie dog. which would come no farther than the door. You see, this man’s sick.” the boy continued to plead, lie i rokcd his legs in a accident, and they brought him to our house, and he can’t walk no more. Don’t you feels sorry for him? Please turn in. Tony.” But Tony did not conic. Although lie was usually very obedient, he now refused to obey his small master. He was annoyed at the boy’s being in the room He just sat there and whined. N o matter how much Billy or Hardesty coaxed, they could not get Tony to enter the room Several weeks later when Hardesty was able to sit up. he and Billy Johnson had become great friends. Billy’s mother and father had also taken Hardesty into their confidence, but not so with Tony. He hated the man. hated the sight of him. He growled when Hardesty spoke to him or tried to pat him. ’Tain’t no use. Billy told Hardesty one day. Tony don’t like you ’tall, and ’tain’t no use to try to make him. He’s jealous 'cause I likes you so much. Hardesty grew stronger each day and at last the time came when he must go. lie told Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, one evening that he would leave the next morning. He thanked them again and again for the kindness they had shown him. and he told them that he hoped the day would conic when he could repay them. But was he sincere in what he said? N’o. for that night as he paced the lloor of his room, he recalled the bitter days of twenty years or more when he and William Johnson had gone to seek their fortunes in the far west: how they had struggled along a partners, how Johnson had married the girl he had loved, and then, when the mine hail made good, had stolen the money and left the country. Not until the day of the accident had Hardesty again seen Johnson. Why hadn’t Mary or William recognized him? That was easy enough, lie had lived a hard life since that time and twenty years made a great .difference. Besides, the gash cut in his face, when the automobile turned over, had changed his whole countenance and of course he had not told them his right name. ow was the time for the revenge he had so long hoped for. and Hardesty had a plan that he knew would hurt them worse than anything else, but he could not make up his mind to do Billy an injustice because he knew that Billy loved him. and he had learned to love Billy very dearly. As the night wore on. Hardesty still paced the Moor, lie thought of his old uncle in Knglaud who had been lying at the point of death for several weeks. “When he dies, thought I lardesty. '1 shall be immensely rich, tor I am his only heir. Billy is little, he will not remem- ber and he loves me as much as he does his father. When my uncle dies I can give him everything.' Thus making up his mind. Hardesty stole soitly and silently to Billy's room and gathered Billy up in a bundle of blankets. “I shall take him to Kngland and return. They will never know. he thought as he crept cautiously down the stairs. He opened the front door, passed out. shut the door and disappeared into the darkness The dawn brought the discovery to Billy's father and mother who were almost frantic Mr. Johnson telephoned the police, who immediately went in search of the lost child. But Hardesty had seen to it. that police would not easily catch him. Poor Tony! His heart was broken. Where had his little friend gone? He had lost his playmate. He stood his grief as long as possible and w hen he could stand it no longer, wandered away. He wandered on and on. through many thickets and swamps. Then he followed a road which brought him to a big city. Here, he roved aimlessly about until a kind old man found him. took him home, and gave him something to eat. This man was the mayor of the city into which Tony had wandered. For two years he lived with this kind man. but all the time he longed for his tiny master. If Billy were only there he would have been so happy! But Billy was not there. One day as Tony was trouting along behind his new master, he heard voices in a nearbv saloon at once recog- nized one of them as Carlyle Hardesty's. He sprang into the saloon. Men stood around, drinking and laughing, mong them was he whom Tony so much despised, lie could have jumped on him and torn him to pieces, but he only crouched by the door and waited. Presently Hardesty came towards him and not recognizing it to be Tony, gave him a kick and went out. Tony gave a low growl, but did not move until Hardesty was far down the street. Then he sprang to his feet and followed him. Down narrow streets and alleys I lardesty led him but he stopped suddenly and went into an old brick building. Tony followed him. and there was his long lost master. Hardesty was beating Hilly unmercifully. Inasmuch as he had once loved Hilly, he now hated him. He took his spite out on Billy because his uncle had disowned him. Tony sprang at Hardesty’s throat. Hardesty sank to the floor with a cry of pain. Tony struggled with him until Hardesty be- came unconscious. Billy ran to Tony and threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. O Tony!” he cried, Now take me to Mother!” Tony walked out of the door with Billy at his heels. The two trudged on through the streets of the big city. No passerby came near Billy for if they attempted to do so Tony growled and if they came too near, he snapped at them. Tonv led Billy to the mayor’s home. The mayor ques- tioned Billy and found out who his parents were and how he had been stolen. Billy said that he had told several people about it. but they would not believe him. The mayor called Mr. Johnson and asked him if he had lost a dog some years ago. to which Mr. Johnson replied that he had The mayor told him he thought he had his dog and would like for him to get it that evening. W hen Mr. Johnson� came and found Billy there, he could hardly believe his own eyes. Billy clung to his father and cried for joy Mr. Johnson wrote a check for a large sum of money, much to the protest of the mayor, but Mr Johnson informed him that it was a very small amount ac- cording to what he had done for him. After this. Billy was taken home to his mother who was also overwhelmed with joy. Later, Billy solemnly told his father and mother that he would never like any one that Tony did not like. .VI THE OPTIMIST. Edith Moran. T9. When the snow lies deep on valley and hill.

I had just come up from my last class to get something I had left in Miss Kincaid's room. As I reached the top step a faint sound of muffled voices came out to me from Mr. Van Gilder’s room, this would not have seemed out or the ordinary if I had not heard my name mentioned, followed by a loud laugh, a little forced I believe. I knew it was not strictly honest to listen to other peo- ple’s conversation, but 1 thought if my name caused such amusement I had a right to find out if possible why. and. walking on my toes as quietly as I could. I got up close to the door where 1 could hear everything that was said. A boy, that I did not know was talking in a sort of Tm it” way. “I bet it will jar mother's little pumpkin when he is told of the misdeeds he has committed. ’ It was all I could do to keep from going in and punch- ing this unknown foe’s nose. Is there any danger of his getting into serious trouble '” This voice I knew. Because if there is I won’t help.” Don’t be chicken hearted.” answered the first speaker. Mis uncle is on the Board of Education, and besides, his father is rich.” When he had finished a new voice piped up. “W-W-What i i-i-f- they w-would f-f-find o-o-out i-i-it was we? Aw shut up. little one. till you arc asked to talk. Apparently he was a little angry at the way his com- panions were doubting his ability to put it through safely. The second speaker broke in now in his usual quiet way; he was an old friend of mine and 1 was surprised to see him with the other two. Don’t be so hard on him Bob. he is partly right. It is dangerous business but a good joke if it turns out the way we planned.” This last was in a sort of doubting tone that made the leader angry. Good Bat! you fellows arc the limit. Why in the thunder did you agree if you’re going back on vour word like yellow infants?” Vour common sense ought to show you. as Miss Neal says, that there is no danger for us.” This seemed to satisfy the others and they began to move things as if thev had started to woric. The Devil!” What’s wrong?” , t What’s wrong? What’s wrong? You mean what isn’t wrong. I’ve lost the acid and cotton. A sigh of relief went up from the mouths of the others, but their peace of mind was short because in a few minutes the leader called out in a triumphant tone. Here it is fellows all in the same package in the empty shell.” My heart sank to tjic lower part of my feet .—a very % unusual place for such an article, they were going to ex- plode the empty shell that had been sent to Mr. Van ('milder by Mr. H. K. Moore front Washington, it was to be idled with chemicals that would cause a larger one than they probably would expect: they had decided that this trick was o be blamed on me. Listening closely I heard the sound of running water: alter it had had time to fill a good si ed tub. it was turned oil and something heavy was drawn across the lloor; it seemed to be drawn near the door; then they all three be- gan to grunt as if they were trying to lift something verv heavy. At last everything seemed fixed, they came out into the haM where they stood for a few minutes gazing at their work. “Don t forget to lock the door. cautioned the weak one. Some one besides Mr. Wan (milder might go in.” “Go on. «Icar. Mama will sec that everything is all right. mocked the leader in a sneering tone that I did not like. After locking the door with a skeleton key the three went slowly down stairs. As soon as their footsteps died away I came out of the verv dirty corner into which I had rushed I tried the door which they had just locked in the forlorn hope that the lock had not caught. In vain! I then went to Miss Kincaid’s door, but it too as locked. What had 1 better dor If I went down and told such a queer story would it be believed? I decided not I hev would think that 1 had got scared after doing it all myself. I was slowly going down the stairs turning over the question in my mind, when I heard heavy footsteps coming down the hall. W hat if I were caught coming down from the third tloo- at this time? I rushed madlv down the steps to- wards the door, never heeding the voice of Mr. Colebank. Stop! I had no intentions of stopping but when I came to the first flon- I fell over something that caused me to skin my o=«- a-d dro mv book. I rushed out the front door and � c 't on running until I got home. I don’t believe I could ’o it a« a:n for money. That night sleep was very scarce for me; a little devil kept taunting me till 1 thought I should go mad. I was up very early next morning, which surprised my mother as she was not accustomed to seeing me get up with out being called. When I got to group Mr. Carpenter called me to his desk. Albert, I have orders from Mr. Colebnnk to send you to the office. 1 slowly left the room and went towards the office. s I entered, Sir. Wilson rose and went to the window. Mr. Colcbank turned toward me and told me to take a chair near him. My knees trembled until I had to grasp the desk for support. Soon Mr. Wilson turned to me and said. My boy you know why you were called here as well as we do. but to make things plain I shall relate a few facts bearing upon the case. Last evening Mr. Colcbank heard someone running down the boy's steps, he called for the person to stop, but it was useless: he heard the person drop a book at the same time that the person fell. ( n reaching the ground floor he found a book with your name in it. Wondering what you could have been doing on the third floor at that hour, he went up to investigate. On going into Mr. Van Guilder's room he was met with an explosion that turned over a large tub of water, spoiling an expensive suit and also breaking some jars holding specimens of great value? Was it possible that they believed me guilty ? It was as if some thing bad struck me in the face! 1 awoke! I had fallen asleep on the lawn, while studying Latin, and mv brother had accidentally turned the garden hose full into my face. TWO BIRDS DISCUSS THE ARRIVAL OF AN AEROPLANE. Paul Jones. 20. “()h. Johnny! look at that big bird coming this way. said Jimmv Black bird. Look how it can soar. I have been watching it for a long time and it hasn’t moved its wings yet. Why even Bill Buzzard can’t soar that long.” Isn’t it large!” replied Johnny: I never knew that there was such a large bird. Oh, look! it’s going to alight down in the meadow.” Can you hear that peculiar noise it’s making? It sounds like one 01 the automobiles that go past down the road. Say Johnny, let's go down and look at it, said Jimmy. After they had reached the aeroplane Johnny said. Look at those funny feet ” “Why doesn’t it fold up its wings when it isn’t flying? And where is its head?” Jimmy asked. “Why doesn’t it move?’’ asked Johnny. It must be dead. Oh. look there is a man beside it. I bet he shot it. Come on, Jimmy, let’s get out of here!

Evelyn Wellington ........................................ Judge Wellington ..........................Evelyn’s lather Tom Carter .......................... .... E elyn’s fiance A Maid. Scene 1.—A drawing room. Enter—Tom Carter and Evelyn Y ellington. Tom. Evelyn. I have decided to enlist. Evelyn. Oh Tom. surely you’re not going to leave your poor mother, who has loved and eared for you so long. Why. it would break her heart. Tom you owe it to your mother to stay and care for her now. Have you told her yet? Tom. No. I haven’t told her yet; but I know she would want me to do it. She never could be proud of her boy if he shirked his duty. You see. both of my grandfathers were leaders in the Civil War. and it is only natural that I should feel a desire to get into this fight. I could never be a slacker. Evelyn. Of course Tom, I wouldn’t want you to be a slacker, but you need not go so soon. There will be work over here that you could do to help the country. Tom. I could not stay here Evelyn, and sec the other fol- lows going off to war without feeling that 1 was not doing my part. You sec, someone has to go. and it might just as well he me as anyone else. Can’t you sec it from my point of view? I hate terribly for you to look at it this way. It would make me feel much better and 1 could go away much happier, to know that you felt as 1 do about this light. No. No. don’t give me your opinion now. hut wait until you have thought it over, and then tell me what you think. Evelyn. Tom. I can’t bear to think of your going to war. Perhaps it is selfishness, but 1 can't help it. S Tom. Well, you think it over. I must hurry now. in order to keep an engagement with Professor Hill- brock. Kxpcct me early this evening, we can have a little time to talk before going to the play. Evelyn. Tom. I wish you would tell your mother before evening. 1 would like to sec if she will want you to go. .Vow don't forget. Bye-bye. (Exit Tom.) Enter Evelyn’s father. Judge Wellington. Oh Evelyn have you heard the news? Tom has enlisted. Of course he is thinking it will be a snap and that he will have an easy time. He never did care much about work and since he has been made superintendent of this terminus of the railroads, he cares less about it. I’ll bet that if he knew how hard army life is. he wouldn't be so anxious to en list. Evelyn.— Tom's not lazy, and he knows exactly what he is going into. Sou know very well that Torn has worked bard to get an education and you're just as glad as anyone, that he has succeeded. I'm glad he has enlisted. When did he do it? Judge Wellington. Oh. about an hour ago. Everyone is talking about his leaving his mother. Evelyn. Father! What has come over you? You have al- ways before this, talked abodt how you would join if you were young enough. I think you are mistaken about his having enlisted because he just left me and I’m sure he had not enlisted then. But I think he should, and if he has, I'm very proud of him. Judge Wellington. W ell. my little spitfire, that's a pretty way1 for you to talk to me. But I'm glad you feel that way about it: it won’t grieve you so much. I guess, to see him leave. If I were you. I’d break an en- gagement with a fellow who would leave me to march off to war the first opportunity offered. no Evelyn. Now Dad. you know you wouldn't do anything id the kind. 1 don't understand you. I never heard you talk like this before. Judge Wellington. Ho! Ho! Well Evelyn, I'll have to confess, that it was Bill Robinson who enlisted instead of Tom. I just told you that, to sec what you would say. I’m proud of you Evelyn, you arc so sensible and look at things in the right light. Now if Tom does enlist, he will be so happy because he will know that you arc brave and understand. That’s the way your mother would have talked, if 1 hail been going to war. and I would have been glad. Evelyn, you look rather pale; you had better get some rest. Evelyn. Yes. 1 feel tired. I'll go to my room now. CURTAIN. Scene II. In same drawing room. Enter Evelyn. Evelyn. Fifteen till seven. I wish Tom would come. I’m so sorry I wasn't enthusiastic this afternoon, about his enlisting. I'm anxious to tell him how proud I am that he is going to enlist. Oh. there’s the door bell now. hope it will be Tom. He must have been terribly disappointed in me this afternoon. Enter Maid. Maid. Mr. Carter to sec you. Evelyn. Tell him that I shall see him here. now. Exit Maid. Evelyn. Tom is such a splendid fellow. He is always on time and can be depended upon. 1 think I'm a lucky girl, to be engaged to such a fellow. Enter Tom. Oh Tom. here yju are. right on time. I’ve been impatient to see you all afternoon. Now don’t you say a word until I’m through. I have changed mv mind since I last saw you, or rather, father caused me to change it though he didn't know it. I think it is right tor you to enlist now, and no! wait until the president has to draft men. I have thought it all over, and the more I think of it. the better I can see it from your point of view, loin. Kvelyn. you don't know how happy you've made me. When I came here this evening. I only lacked what you have just said to make me entirely happy. 1 told mother when I went home, and although she hated to see me go. she said she was glad her boy had the courage of his ancestors, who had won fame as leaders, and had a hand in preserving the Union, when it was in danger. She said that her boy would now go forth to fight a bigger light, and save the world from autocratic domination. Kvelyn. mother has a faith in me which makes me feel 1 could face fire forever to try to prove my worthiness of it. Mow 1 am happy to find that you arc of the same spirit as mother. You say your father helped you to change your mind. I will congratulate him for that, when I see him. Why, Kvelyn, why are you crying? Kvelyn. Tom. it was by such luck that I first changed my mind. I was just thinking of being so happy, how miserable we both might have been if I had not understood, jt's all right now. 1 won't cry any- more. Tom. There now, dry your eyes and we shall go to the play. I’ve had good luck all day, and I'm going to ask you that same old question. When can we be married? Don’t spoil my luck now. Kvelyn. Let it be tomorrow, then. Curtain. IN THE NICK OF TIME. George Mayers. ’10. John Andrews was a lad of about sixteen years, lie lived in a suburb of a large city and as his father owned a large steel mill and was very well-to-do. John was not overburdened with bothersome tasks. He would fish along the banks of a large creek for hours in the hot summer weather and occasionally some boy friend from town would conic out and they would go swimming in the creek above an old mill dam that had seen better days in the times gone by. IJut now the creek was swollen with the spring Moods ami the water went pouring over the old dam in a yellow volume and was constantly pounding on the rocks below in a ceaseless rumble. John’s intimate friend happened to be visiting him that day and they wandered down to the banks of the turbulent stream. John’s chum whose name was James Morris re- marked at what a terrible thing it would be for any one to go over these falls which plunged forty feet down into a jagged valley. He had hardly finished his sentence when John, who was looking upstream said. “That’s a queer looking object Moating down the creek, up there! Say. it looks like a couple of girls. My golly! What are they doing out in this swift current?” As the object drew closer they saw to their horror that it was a canoe in which sat two girls whose faces were as white as chalk desperately trying to change the course of their craft by paddling the water with the palm of their hands. “Gee! They must have lost the paddles to that thing. said James. “If we don’t do something they'll go over that dam to their death.” They both looked around and suddenly the mill owner's son gave vent to an exclamation. I have it. do you see that old rope ami well windlass, along the shore, there James assented. Well. I'll swim out with that tied around my waist, as hard as I can and you pay out the slack while I swim. Then when I get hold of the canoe you wind the thing up as fast as possible and pull us all ashore. So saving this, he discarded his coat, shoes and hat and secured the rope around his waist. As the boat was now within hailing distance he told the occupants to turn their efforts in the direction he was coming. They did so but with little or no effect upon the canoe which continued its course down the middle of the stream. “C an’t you possibly get to us.” one of the girls shouted “I’ll try it. John sent back the reply. With that he dived into the swirling stream with the windlass creaking as Janies played out the line. fter a brief space his head bubbled up about a quarter of the dis- tance to the middle and he began to swim against the cur- rent which dragged at him with every stroke he took. The line held him back and lie could scarcely make any headway but all the time was simply swimming to maintain his po sition so as not to be swept down stream. The unsteady canoe was almost opposite him now. and the occupants watched his manoevers with breathless an- xiety when suddenly he disappeared under the yellow sur- face. Roth of the girls screamed and scanned the water, with gaping mouths and wide open eyes, when as suddenly as be had disappeared about ten feet from the rapidly moving craft which was just passing him. He struck out with all his force for it and the other three in the canoe and on shore watched with abated breath. Would he make it? 'Flic canoe was gliding swiftly by and if he didn’t seize it before it got beyond his reach every thing was lost. .lust as it seemed about to float beyond his grasp he gave one mightv lunge and clasped the canoe. At the same time he shouted a muffled pull. The windlass on the shore be- gan to creak and groan and slowly but surely the canoe be ean to be drawn toward the shore, where a host of willing hands of the mill workers, who had gathered on the shore, no'led the canoe on to the bank and started to revive John who was almost exhausted, lie soon recovered and was very glad to know that his plan had succeeded. DEMANDING A FAIR TRIAL. Beatrice Lyons. ’19. War had just.been declared. Rlake Crawford and Jim Rell had been in Germany for sonic time. They had been doing nothing in particular, iust having a good time Ameri- cans were in no daneer in Berlin so thev continued to stav. Rlake was a tall, athletic looking fellow, with dark hair and eyes, hr was of a mischievous disposition, always cutting up and joking. Jim was also tall and athletic, but he wa« r. fair, having light hair and blue eyes and was just opposite in disposition from Blake. He tailed to laugh at Blake's jokes and told him that some day he would get into trouble by joking. Jim’s prophecy came true. One morning in the ea« iv fall. Blake walked into the room of his friend a German otTi cer and greeted him with one ol his ever ready jokes. Spying an old revolver lying on a shelf, he picked it up and pointing it at his friend laughed and said. Now come with me.” The officer, also in fun. and not knowing that the gun was loaded, seized Blake's hand and gave it a twist. Unfortunately the twisting of Blake’s arm caused him to pull the trigger. The German fell to the floor, a bullet in his breast. The report of the gun summoned the officers, who took Blake off to prison, lie was to learn just how serious it was to kill an officer. Jim was notified, and at once he went to the prison. He was not allowed to see Blake, but was told that his friend was to he shot the next evening at sunset for mur- dering a German officer. Jim returned to his rooms dazed. How could they dare l«� ki� l him without even having a trial. What could he do? lie wouldn't have a chance to notify the United States Con- sul for he was seriouslv ill in the hospital. Win should it be tomorrow at sunset? How could be save Blake? Blake hadn’t done it on purpose. Jim knew that but how could he help it ? He could think of nothing about this all night. Next day he walked the streets, thinking. In the afternoon a plan formed in his mind and oh, the joy it brought to his heart for he knew it would work. Nevertheless, he was very nervous as he left his rooms that evening. He walked slowly down the street with noth ing in his hands except what seemed to he a long pole. But to Jim it was a very dear article, and Blake’s last hope. As he reached the place of execution, lie saw Blake stand ing there, pale as death with his hands behind him. Then he noticed the soldiers who were to shoot, thev had just raised their guns. Jim’s breath came in short gasps, rushing no to Blake he unfurled an American flag in front of him and in his clear, musical voice he cried. Now shoot if you dare to take ad vantage of the consul's illness. There's more than the con- sul to whom you must answer. Ity order the guns were lowered. Not a soul uttered a sound. P.lake was lead hack to await trial hut not for long, And you may he sure that he wasted no time in getting hack to dear old C'. S. A. WHO TOOK THE CAKE. Edith Moran. '10. Scene I.

I was awakened by the sound of splintering glass. I listened to hear it a second time, but all was quiet. All at once I heard an automo- bile going down the driveway, at a great rate of speed. Ar. instant later 1 was further alarmed by hearing four shots fired in rapid succession. For a few minutes I lay still- afraid to move. However my sense of curiosity overcame my fear. I junqied out of bed. and commanded a view of the road, but all was peaceful and still, save for the chugging oi a motor car. which by this time seemed to be a great distance on the road toward Spruceton. a village about six miles distant. « I looked to tlie lawn to see my negro watchman standing in the middle of the driveway, and looking toward the road. I y the light of the moon. I saw a gun in his hand. I called to him. What's the matter. Thomas?” Your car’s been took, Marse Jim.” shouted Thomas. I was round in de rose garden, jist a minute ago. I was sitting on de stone bench, when I heated de most 'culiar noise. I was jist so skeered I couldn't git up. An den de noise quit, an I come roun hear ter see what’s de matter, an 1 seed de doors of de garage house open an your car come outern n. wid two min in it. wid black pieces of good over dere eyes, at: jist speed down de driveway an up de road like de dickens an I went an shot four shots after dem. but none of dem hit dem. dev was goin' dat fast.” “Which car was it. Thomas?” It was de long gray car, wid de seben seats in it. Marse Jim. Ily this time I was dressed and I rushed out. to see some officers and men coming up the road, with blood hounds. To my great surprise they turned in at my gate and came up the driveway. The blood-hounds had their noses to the ground, and looked as if they were trailing someone. They went on passed me. and around to the back of the garage I. of course followed them and found that the back window of the garage had been broken. What is the meaning of all this disturbance?” I de- manded of an officer for I resented this midnight invasion of my property. He replied. I received a telephone call about a half hour ago. from Mr. Baker's Secretary. He said that the safe had been opened and some very valuable government secret pa| er$ had been stolen. Just then a man came up and interrupted our conversa tion. He said in an excited voice. You see it was this way. Mr. Newton. Mr. Baker was called away late yesterday after- noon, by a telegram. He put some government secret papers in the safe and told me to watch them. Shortly before mid night I was awakened by a noise. I rushed down to the library and found the safe door open. Making a hasty examination. I found that the very papers intrusted to my care were missing. I immediately rushed to the telephone and called the police of Greenville. I then examined the room and found that the noise which had awakened me had been caused by the over turning of a chair, showing that the thieves had made a hasty departure. A few minutes later the offi- cers arrived, and we went to a neighbors and secured his blood-hounds. The blood-hounds trailed the thieves here.” Yes ’ I broke in impatiently, and by this time they have likely made good their escape, in my new touring car. Without waiting for further explanation, I rushed into the garage, jumped into the racer and started in pursuit of the thieves. When I reached Spruceton. I found some men staring down the road. 1 stopped the racer and shouted, Did you see a big gray touring car go through here? Which way did it go? Yes, and it went on down toward Browns Woods, said a man. I resumed my pursuit and after 1 had gone about two miles, 1 saw my car by the side of the road. I examined the car and found that the gasoline tank was almost empty. I drove back to the Spruceton garage and bought some gasoline. A man went back with me to drive the car home. Next afternoon I was called on the telephone by Mr. Baker, who asked me to come over. I went over to find that he had had his secretary placed under arrest. He said. “I have suspected my secretary of giving away my secrets for some time. To see if it wero really he who gave them away, when I went away yesterday afternoon, I told him I left some very valuable secret papers in the safe. I took the papers with me and left a dummy in the safe. When 1 reached Spruceton. I went to the telephone operator and told him to keep a record of any calls to or from The Pines.’’ I reached the city to find that the telegram was a fake. When I returned today, I asked the telephone operator if there were any calls. He told me there was one from the drug store in Spruceton to my house, about nine o’clock and that he had taken the message down in shorthand, but had later copied it for me. Mr. Baker then gave me the message and 1 read. The Pines? Yes. Mr. Baker there?” “No, called away by telegram. “What about it?” “O. K. as planned. You have the combination and know about the car? At twin oaks there, in the hollow tree. Tomorrow ?’ Yes, if fortune smiles. Good-by, we can't fail.” So-long. 1 gave the message back to Mr. Baker and said. What are you going to do about it? I have stationed several officers in concealed places to arrest the two men when they come to get those papers to- night. replied Mr. Baker. That night the officers arrested the two men who came to get the papers. Mr. Baker's former secretary and his two friends were found guilty of being German spies and each sentenced to serve twenty years in the state prison. A MADCAPS PRANK. Irene Stanhagcn, '19. Oh Trix, are all the girls here? The girl speaking was Josephine Hunt, the favorite of the school, called Jo by all the girls. She was a black eyed, curly haired little beauty that every one loved, all except Mrs. Lipscet, nicknamed by the girls. “Old Lippy.” the principal oi the school, who seemed always to find something to criticise in everything she did. “Yes, all but Ix uisc and Gladys and they will be here in a minute.” Trix Merrill answed in almost a whisper. Here they are now. said Jane Meredith, as Louise Martin and Gladys Brand came through the garden to the corner where they had all decided to meet. Did you have any trouble getting out. asked Jo. Yes. we had just started down the front hall when we heard some one coming up the stairs. It was “Lippy. W’c hid in the curtains near Miss Burnett's door and she passe� ! without seeing us. said Louise breathlessly. as “Well, if we don't Ret started pretty soon we shall be too late for that party, said Trix. With this they all struggled over the wall that bordered the school grounds and started up the road to Hall's. Just a few yards from where they had climbed over the wall, they came upon a deserted automobile, standing on one side of the road. Oh girls, let’s take this car. It is a long way to Hall’s and I know I can drive it. for Uncle Jim taught me to dme one exactly like this last summer. “Hut what ii the owner should catch us? cried the girls in a chorus. Oh what’s the difference, we can get back before the owner, whoever he is. misses it. and when the road is so muddy we would be a sight before we get there. It is a seven passenger car and we can all get inti� it. All right, come on girls, no one will ever know and we might as well have some fun. said Trix. They all climbed in, with Jo at the wheel. Things went smoothly until Jane exclaimed. We are miles passed the cross road and we must have taken the wrong road lor we should have been to Hall’s long ago. Oh, don’t get excited Jane, we shall get hack all right, but how can I ever turn the car on this narrow road? While she was trying to turn the car, she stalled her engine and was unable to start it again. Well I wonder what’s wrong now. she cried, and after an examination the found themselves miles from home and out of gasoline. If this isn’t just our luck. cried. Louise. How on earth are we going to get back? Walk I reckon. said Jo How far is it? asked Gladys. Oh. I don’t know, about three miles ami a half I suspect. It is only two miles from Old I.ipp’s to Hall’s but wc are so far off the road, that I can’t.tell much about it. said Jo. “Well, come on. we won't get anywhere 1 standing here talking. Trix said in a matter of fact way. They started, hut had not gone tar when Jane slipped ami fell in the mud. ruining her dress and hurting her hand. Holy brethren, what will Lipp say when she sees you. Jane?” asked Jo. I can’t help what she says. It’s all your fault and w’hat will the owner of that car sav when he finds out what we’ve done. answered Jane. Yes, hut he won't find out who did it. Don't you girls ever breathe this to anyone and maybe we can get back with out that old wretch finding out that we have been out of the building. I wish Lippy were like Miss Burnett, then I would tell her what we have done, Jo said. 1 do too, said Trix. But she isn't, so there is no use worrying about it. They had come to the cross road by this time and had started down the road leading to the school when they heard the chug, chug of an automobile. Maybe that's some one we know. Let's wait and see. If it is we will get them to take us home, said Gladys. For I'm not very crazy about walking all that distance. As the car came closer they heard some one singing Why that's Tom Bradford singing. It must be some of the boys coming from the party. exclaimed Trix. The car had stopped by this time and Tom said. Wny. I thought you were coming to the party. Where have you been ? Oh we started to the party but lost our way and had just started back. said Jo. Well get in and we shall take you to the gates. said Tom. But you must not let “Lippy see you,” cautioned Jane. When they finally did get back. Mrs. Lipscet was waiting at the gates for them. Gee. there’s Lippy!” ow, we are in for it, whispered Trix to Jo. Girls, let me do the talking and I shall get out of it the best wa I can, said Jo. as the got out of the car and started through the gates. “Where have you irirls been? demanded Mrs. Lipscet. We have been—” began Jo. Never mind making any excuses; you have been out riding with those disgraceful boys. We have----- Stop talking. Miss Hunt; 1 know where you have been. Bv this time they had come to the door of the dormi tory. our uncle is in my office waiting to see you. Please step in there. Which Uncle? demanded fo. Mr. James Hunt. replied Mrs. I.ipscct. The rest o. you girls g your rooms and wait until I come to you.” jo ran into the office and into her Uncle's arms. This disgraceful girl has been out ruling with some boys. said Mrs. Lipscet. Jo, tell me exactly what happened and where you ha c been. I tell you she has— Mrs. Lipscet started. Mrs. Lipscet. 1 should rather hear this from Jo. Please be quiet. said Mr. Hunt. And Joe told him the whole story, omitting nothing. “That is where my car is. then?” Your car? Yes. I had intended taking you for a drive, but did no: have enough gasoline, and went into a garage to get it and when I came out my car was gone. ”(iee. I'm glad it was yours. said Jo. And. Jo. 1 came to take you home, lor we can't gel along without our little girl. He ready to leave early in the morning. Oh! Uncle James! 1 am so glad. I hate to leave all the girls, but I certainly will be glad to get home. •But Mr. Hunt, I------ began Mrs. Lipscet. She is going with me tomorrow morning. Mrs. Lipscet. and if you can't keep her here tonight I shall take her with me now.” Well, she can stay tonight grudgingly replied Mrs. Lipscet. And the next day. after Jo liad gone, the other girls got a reprimand and it was reported to their parents FOR UNCLE SAM C. Rigglcman, '18. The boys who have gone from F. H. S. To answer their country's call. In uniforms of khaki clad, How we love them, one and all. We little know the sadness Of these boys, so far away; NVc little know the horrors Of lighting day by day. Hut we will try to help them In whatever way we can. For by cheering up the soldiers We are helping Uncle Sam.” So take up a piece of paper And fill your fountain pen: Sit down and write a letter To your brother or a friend. And don’t just do your bit. please. But do the l cst you can. For all your best is not tot� much For dear Old Uncle Sam.” They marched awav so gallantly. Like the brave young knights of old: For they’re not afraid of Kaiser Bill And all his soldiers ! old. Now some of these boy are soldiers And some must sailors lie; take our intrepid soldiers Across the deep blue sea. As we gaze upon our service Hag We each one breathe a prayer That (kxl will protect our dear t� ne Who arc fighting Over There.” A STAFF MEETING. Hugh Fox, ’19. Time—Present.

In November, 1 17, under the leadership of Mr. (). i. Wilson, Superintendent of Schools, the schools of Fairmont started a campaign to make each school a Junior Auxiliary. This met with a lively response and in two weeks each school had raised the amount of twentv-five cents dues per student and was eligible for membership. The money raised front dues in each school was used in that school for the purchase of materials. A Chapter School Committee was appointed by the local chapter of Red Cross, consisting of one person front each school; this committee has entire supervision over the work done in all the schools. I-ater in the year many auxiliaries were formed in the «chools of the outlying districts, such as Barrackvillc, Farm- ington. Worthington and many others. The first of January the high school began its Junior Red Cross work, under the direction of Miss Jessie Jacobs. The Domestic Art Department presented the school with a beau- tiful Red Cross banner which they had made. In many schools of the state the Domestic Art Depart- ments gave their entire time to Red Cross work—others did not introduce this at all. but carried out their regular work. The girls of the Fairmont High School are to be especially commended in that they did all their required work and in addition a great amount of Red Cross work. They purchased materials, made and turned in to the Local Chapter the following articles: 38 Hospital shirts. 38 Convalescent robes 67 Fracture pillows. 3750 Gun wipes Resides this they made a quantity of shot bags and com- fort kits and dozens of knitted garments. CAMP FIRE GIRLS. When we consider that there are only two active Camp Fire Circles in the high school, we are surprised at the work they arc carrying on. Several meetings have been held this year. One silver tea was given, the money from which was given to the Red Cross. Some money, which was saved by the girls, was con- tributed to the Times’ Christmas Fund. All of the girls are wishing for their summer camping trip, when they can enjoy a real camp tire and all summer sports. THE MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT. The Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing courses this year arc under the direction of Mr. Ensel J. Hawkins a«id Mr. L. V. Carpenter. Some changes have been made— fourth-year students are given freehand sketching, drawing and making of blueprints of the plan of the Fourth street bridge, in this city. The installation of some new machinery has made this department much more useful to the high school than ever before. They have furnished the typewriting room through- out. with tables and teacher’s desk. The Manual Training students are. of course, helping to win the war. Their bit is done by making Red Cross boxes and V. M. C. A. tables, which are sent to Camp Beaure- gard, I.a. Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. girls are doing some very good work this year. They hold noon meetings and make scrap books and trench candles for the soldier boys. During the Christ- mas season they dressed dolls for the poor children of the city. They are now helping make comfort kits for the sol- diers. Recently new officers have been elected, under whose enthusiastic leadership the prospect of the work of the next year is promising. The new officers are: President .................................... Ruth Feather Vice President ............................... Mary Bennett Secretary .................................. Margaret Smith Treasurer .................................... Ruth Kliason 7 CAMPFIRE GIRLS. n 1 F. H. S. WAR GARDENS. The call lor men has swept through our countr . and l oth those at the front and in camp are doing their hit. F.ver city and state is in some way trying to help to win this war. One of the most prominent features in Fairluont i the war gardens at F. H. S . which are supervised by Mr. F. M. Mus grave, who helps each student individually to plan and culti- vate his garden. This is the third year that Agriculture has been taught in F. H. S. In this time it has grown most rapidly and has become one of the most popular courses in the school. The enrollment for this year is 185. In this course special em- phasis has been laid on useful products, which are most needed in these times. We have about four and one-half acres now in use for our gardens and the prospects seem to be excellent. Last year the products raised were valued to the amount of $1,400 worth of vegetables. Fifty students were also given credit for home garden work. These gardens are approved of ami hacked b the people 74 in Fairmont, who arc very much interested in them. This work not only affords to the student experience, pleasure and money, hut the high inspiration that he is doing his bit in this world war. P. H. S. CANNING CLUB During the latter part of the month of July and the mouth of August a canning club was organized in the high school There were eight girls in this club who were very enthusiastic in their work. They were taught by Miss Estelle Hamilton, domestic science instructor at the Fairmont State Normal School. The work of war gardening and canning went hand in hand, as the vegetables to be canned, such as beets, beans, corn and tomatoes were obtained from the school war gar- dens. I'lu prospects for the I'MX canning club arc bright in- deed. as many of the girls have their own war gardens and are looking forward to a fine harvest Credit will be given for this work. Margaret K.

The society began with eightv-three meml� ers ami now the membership totals one hundred and ten Sophomores. We hope to have at least one hundred and twenty-five Thrift Stamp Buyers, or all active Sophomores, by the end of the school year. Our society, has a total amount of $18l).33 in thrift and war saving stamps for the months of February and March. From the reports coming in. the Sophomores will probably increase this sum to $250 or $275 at our next meeting. I know that every loyal Sophomore will do his very best to help Uncle Sam by buying these stamps, and to help T‘ win the generous prize offered by the sponsors to the class that buys the most thrift and war savings stamps. Margaret Smith, Secretary. C. E. Hutchinson War Saving Society. meeting of the junior class was held January 28th at which the C. K. Hutchinson War Savings Society was or ganized.

MUSIC MUSIC. (By Katharine Moore.) The man that hath no music in himself nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils.” Music may he compared to a beautiful painting. Even though the painting be full of technicalities, yet it is within the power of us all to have some appreciation of it. Likewise music. There are some people who hold themselves aloof from music because they have no appreciation of it. This is a sad mistake. Everyone should acquire some taste for music, no matter how small the appreciation. All music appeals to us in three distinct ways; to our ears by the beauty of its sounds, to our minds by the beauty of its color both in single melodics and the forms into which they are built, and to our feeling by its power to arouse moods and also to some extent to suggest the actual sur- roundings of our everyday life. Anything more which it may seem to do we find not due to itself, but to some other art with which it is combined. In opera, for example, music is combined with poetry and with drama, and in some music-dramas, even with paint- ing. sculpture, dancing and other arts. In song, poetry alone is the companion of music The forms of music are the finest in which the real musical elements count most and other elements least. I his explains the need of educating our taste, although everybody is more or less sensitive to pleasant sounds, and to the ap- peal to the feelings. Even unmusical people find much jo in opera and song. What we as music lovers wish, is to grow ever more sensitive to the rarest part of music, and to enter each day more completely into the companionship of the finest thoughts of the greatest minds. The setting sun ami music at its close As the last taste of sweets is sweetest, last; Writ in remembrance more than things long past.” BOYS AND GIRLS GLEE CLUB 7« ORCHESTRA.

We who sitteth on a pin shall rise again. It’s a long face that knows no smiling. It doesn’t follow that a girl will draw well just because she paints. Wisdom is to keep people front findiug out what a fool you are. Everything has gone up since the war but paper, it re- mains stationary. Wc consider it very unpatriotic for girls to put flour on their noses on whcatlcss days. If silence were the only thing that was golden there wouldn’t he much money earned in F. II. S. It's perfectly natural that a bookworm should be a bore. If all the “How to Win the War” articles had been shells, there wouldn’t be any Kaiser: if all Joe Thomas’ talks were gas attacfcvon the west front, we would pity the Germans. Love lies in a woman's eyes—and lies and lies and lies. The Juniors are a crafty lot to teach. It's not how many people in the city. It's how many stars in its service flag.
