ORANGE AND BLACK The Freshman’s Morning Soliloquy Beware of a deadly sitting habit, Or, if you sit, be like the rabbit, Who keepeth ever on the jump, By springs concealed beneath his rump. A little ginger ’neath the tail Will oft for lack of brains avail; Eschew the dull and slothful seat, And move about with willing feet. Man was not made to sit a-trance And press, and press and press his pants; But rather with an open mind, To circulate among his kind. And so, poor Freshie, avoid the snare Which lurks within a cushioned chair; To run quite well, it has been found, Both feet must be upon the ground. Yours for Success.

ORANGE AND BLACK Our Work Shop and Our'PlayIHouse Where we combine good, stiff study with free, wholesome recreation in such proportion that makes for better minds, better bodies and a better Orange and Black spirit. We are proud of our plant. It shall always hold a prominent place in our memories. Likewise, we rejoice at the fact that we are privileged to reap the benefits of a sound and varied course of study within its walls. Thorough and extensive courses are offered in History, Latin, Spanish, Mathematics, Science, English, Manual Training, Home Economics, Commercial Training and Normal Training. More limited courses are given in Economics, Public Speaking and Gymnasium. Credit for graduation is also given for work in the Glee Clubs and Orchestra. During the past year, forty-two distinct subjects have been taught in our curriculum, which is the largest number ever offered to a Falls City High School Student Body. Graduates who have taken considerable work in the Commercial Department, find little difficulty in securing suitable employment in that line. Likewise, the Normal Trainers find ample opportunity awaiting them in the teaching profession in the rural schools. As students, we stand together in congratulating ourselves on the school facilities at our disposal. We appreciate it, and hope to profit therefrom. —JUST A STUDENT. Page Three
