event of the third year was the junior reception, after which vc were ready to don the caps and gowns of the seniors. As can readily he seen our class was no mere figurehead. True, we were something of a failure socially, for we gave very few social affairs, hut in other ways we were successful, and we entered »ur senior year determined t« continue this success. Our students strong in scholarship have continued strong; our members have again taken leading parts in all entertainments. Edith Harmon, licth l.ydy. Oretchen Baldwin. Merton Young, Robert Campbell and bred Cohcc took leading parts in the operetta “Bulbul.” And the six members from our section that took part in the class play All-of-a-Suddcn I’eggv. played no mall part in making it the grand success that it was. In the triangular debate for this year. Levi Horlachcr again brought honor to himself and his class through his splendid rebuttal speech, which won the debate for Erankfort. A few more days and commencement will be here; our school days in I 11. S. will he over, and wc will go out into the world t d our work. I can wish my class no better wish than that even, member of it may be as helpful and efficient in the work of the world as he has been in the work of the high school. M ARTHA C. F'ORRN .

 Iftav (lias History of the May Section of the Class of 1913. On a certain day in September. 1909. had you been the old clock in the assembly room of I'. H. S.. you would have seen eighty-two strange faces among the students assembled on the first day of school. Even one who was a complete stranger to this body of high school students, could, had lie taken a few moments to observe, have selected the eightv-two new students from the number bv their nervous, frightened manner, and the distressed, strained look upon their faces. This distressed » dy of students was the freshman class of 1909, thirty-four from the rural district and forty-eight from urban districts. Our chief work in the freshman year was wearing off the outer signs of timidity, learning the rules of the school, and. much more important, the habits of the upper classmen, and preparing with industry and care our lessons. e were, at all times, tilled with the entrancing thought that we should soon be sophomores, and we left no stone unturned to prepare us for this lofty position. In 1910. bad you again been the old clock, you would have seen the eighty-two timid freshmen transformed into a brave, bold class, who knew no such w ord as fear, for w e had now become sophomores. One of the first things we did was to form a class organization and to elect social officers. We were now interested not only in the regular routine work of the school, but also in social work. Our first venture into the society world was to give a hay ride to our own class. Soon after this we gave a sophomore hop. During this year we were also interested in b. H. S. s various organization T w e n t 6 IIMstcrv ami contests, such as the debating club and the oratorical contest. While we were thus busily engaged in these different affairs, almost before we knew it. we had become juniors. h was not until our junior year that the strength of our class began to be appreciated; then our most accomplished members began to take prominent places. For the Triangular Debating learn • i that year we furnished four boys out of six: 1-red Cohee. Jerome Epstein. Levi Horlachcr and Ernest Thompson. In the school's athletic work, Chaska Anderson, (iuy Harrison and Arthur Price represented our class. Our girls, also. U ok a conspicuous part in the affairs of F. H. S. Mariam Stein frequently aided in giving entertainments bv playing piano solos. Ruth Weaver gained fame by her drawing, and was ever ready to make beautiful posters to advertise our public entertainments. It is she who made the cover design for “The Cauldron. in addition to other work for the annual of last year and this. Lclah Maish also surprised us with her artistic work. And as to Beth Lydy. Gretchen Baldwin and Edith Harmon— our public entertainments would simply have been failures without them. Each of them took a prominent part in The Mikado, given at the Blinn last vear bv the music department, and Beth Lydy and Edith Harmon t.n'.k leading parts in the class play during their senior vear In addition to the above. Beth Lydy has assisted in almost every entertainment But all of our strength was not shown in these outside matters, which some people call “frills. We had a number of students, such as Beryl Feroald. Lvdia Spray. Anna Katherine Morris and Levi Horlachcr. who stood at the top in scholarship. As to our s«»cial life, of course the most important eight
