George Campbell, ' 07, one of the five honor students of Sheffield Scientific school, wins a place as stroke oar number four on the Yale ' varsity crow. What ' s the matter with the Great P ' alls High School? Nothing at all! Good news spreads slowly, so I feel that it is my duty to help in spreading it. All of us do not appreciate the High School as much as we should. One or the best ways by which we can be made sensible of its value is by the knowledge of what the school ' s finished products have done, can do, and are doing. Nor need 1 confine myself to one per- son as an example. Lharles Lowery, ' 01), who is attending the University of ] ennsylvania, and Aline Chowen. ' 09, who is attending Vellesle3 ' , are making- good records. Chai ' les McCowan, ' 07, is editor-in-chief of tiie Kaiman Weekly, published by the University of Montana. Guy .MiHegan, ' (18, who is attending th? State Agricultural College at Bozeinan, will teach there this summer. I am tak- ing, as examples, only a fev,- of the many High school gra Iuat(s who have niail ' e good. The school puts her standard high, and aims to keep it so. Because I mention, as examples, oidy those attending colleges, I do not mi ' an to say that those are the only ones wlioni the ]Iioh school has benefited. -Many of the High school graduates have not been fortunate enough to attend college. Put they are doing as nuich good in their line as the college students are in their line. P.oth are upholding the standard of the school. The girls who holds i)ositiona in offices as stenog- raphers anil clerks are the best in tlieTr line. The Thgdi school has even enabled the rirls to become better housewives. 1 i)rcdict that the time is not distant when a person may know that the house- wife has graduated from the Great Falls High school by the cake she bakes. The High school graduate, in business, is a success. He is respected as an hon- est, efficient business man, and that is the kind of a man that is always needed. Some person may ask, Why do you give the credit to the school for the graduate ' s individual work? I assert, that the way the graduate does his in- dividual work is inseparably combined with his former training in the High school. It is during the four years of his High school life that his character is formed. This is the period in the lif- of an individual when impressions are most easily made upon the mind. The habits foi-med stick with him all his life. It is in the Higli School that theindi il- ual first experiences wliat the problems of life are like. In every subject stud- ied there are problems, like those in after-life, that can he mastered only after hard work and perseverance. The following qtiotation fits the case very v.-ell: Character, like porcelainwar-j, must be painted before it is glazed. There can be no cliange after it is l)urned in. The High school is the place where character is painted and glazed. After that there is no change in it. Therefore, the best way a person can judge the efficiency of the High school is by the men and women it turns out. I believe that the Great Falls High school is not found wanting. I believe that the Great Falls High school is an institution that has kept its place well in the progressive development of Great Falls, and that it is a High school of whicli every citizen of Great Falls may justly be proiul. What did you say about the class of ' 10? Spoil tlie record? No! No! Just wait and see ! DUNCAN GARDNER, ' 10.

Their lofty purpose and ambition was to find the far famed shores of the kingdom of knowledge. Exiled fiom their former homes they embarked upon the rough waters, never to end t.ieir journey until they should come to the promised shores. After sailing a few days they touched freshman lan.l. where all was su delightful that thev agreed amono- themselves to remain for nine months, and face the ridicule of the dreaded tribes. They were carelessly tossed about until one of the older bands, taking compassion on them, advised them to call a meeting. Inexperienced as they were, their meec- inr- was a great success. Chiefs were ap- pointed, who fulfilled the duties of the!r resnective offices. Seeing that it would be foolish to waste their time in Lisur. ' , they planned to have four main duties to perform each day. They set to their task with a will, and soon became effic- ient in two languages. They investigated the physical make-up of the earth, an 1 were taught the art of solving algebra problems. They soon learned that strength lay in union so they allied themselves to the one sympathizing tribe in the whole school, and repulsed ths enemy in every encounter with them. Soon the nine months came to a close, and preparations for departure were made. Those who had not done their duties were driven from the band and left on Freshman land. After crossing the Sea of Dense Ignor- ance in safety, they began an explor- ation of the Land of Sophists, where they made many new and most needy discoveries. Their greatest difficulty lay in crossing a mighty, raging flood. Care- ful plans were made, and after months of earnest labor, a difficult bridge was buijt over which they cautiously passed. This obstacle so successfully overcome, they advanced over the isle with ease, and were soon ready to attempt more perilous enterprises. Loaded with fresh supplies, they set sail for the Isle of Perseverance. Strange and mysterious omens were seen in this land. A pedogogue of science led the b ' lnd into a mighty wilderness, to show them its deeji M-onders. First they re- treated afar, and held their breath ' with fear, as they waited for dire explosions.
