12 THE BROWN quietly one to another and softly said, There's more in that class than one could even have suposedf All the members of the faculty of the last year came back except Mr. Gehr, Miss Shull and Mr. Creamer. To till the vacancies Mr. Booz, Miss McFarland and Mr. Smeltzer were chosen. Our class officers were jacob Truxall, President, Kathryn Keck, Vice President, Jessie Potts, Secretary, and Harry Ferren, Treasurer. Another .Freshmanxelass joined our ranks, a sister class to be proud of in every respect. During the year the other classes began to notice us in athletics. Already three of our members were varsity men, and three more had won letters in track. The little shield-shaped pins and rings ar- rived at last. You could Find those pins most any place. Some people had two and others hadn't any. lt is strange how things stray, from their owners, or become lost! Most of the class began to indulge in social life and are still continuing at a lively pace. Little gatherings are most always preferred. A certain couple at the end of two years, have come to the conclusion that twenty-four hours in a day are insufficient for them. One of our honor felows became very much interested in Botany and as a result is said to be especially fond of a dainty type of Marguerites. The year closed with the annual Soiree to the Seniors. The Sophs, during the dancing. preformed most successfully, one of Mr. Har- kins' latest experiments, which was fully ap- preciated by Seniors, faculty and juniors alike. On Sept. 1, 1913, seventy-two dignified Seniors walked sedately up the last stretch of the hill. Vvonder had turned to pride, and the hearts of the beloved faculty glowed with deep, true pride. VVe were sorry to lose Coach Vfimberlv, whose famous, 'KNOW then, let's not hang that, will ring on in our ears forever. Mr. Saylor, although not a new teacher in High returned to us as the new coach. Miss Zundel AND WHITE and Mr. Crosby were added to the faculty. According to well learned parliamentary rules we undertook our last class meeting. jake Truxall was reel,ected as President, Ros- salie Fart became Vice President, Cope, Treaurer, and Margaret Blose, Secretary. Few classes possess so many persons of ability as ours. Bon joyle has devtloped into a poet, whose verses contain deep, unfanthom- ed qualities. Lilliam Fleming has become a French student of note. Recently she explain- ed to the class that The imperfect tense in French is used to express a future action in past time which does not take place at all. Our famous sprinter has joined the honor member in the botanical world. His prefer- ence among the flowers lies in the sweet XVil- liams. The former foot ball manager, con- trary to public belief, has became an expert Fisher. Physics has proven a delight to the ma- jority of the class. Half day vacations in balmy spring weather are most acceptable. However, since the visit to Crows Nest rats, rain and darkness are words of terror to the boys. lVith the coming of graduation, life, for the Seniors, is just beginning. Though we were originally supposed to have lacked backbone, the underclassmen have discovered that we are not entirely spineless when it comes to defending our class honor. Class spirit has only brought us closer together. In athletics we stand high. The girls claim the championship in basket-ball, while Den- man holds the inter-scholastic championship for two track events, Davis, Sloan and Truxal will be missed on the varsity. lt is with the deepest regret that we finally leave our alma mater and we hope that other classes in years to come will fare as prosper- ously and happily as we have fared.

All the hills and the village rejoiced at the sun. instead of shriveling up at his glance, for the kingdom of Carsbad was fertile and rich. The shepherd boy knew this, as he watch- ed his sheep browsing on the green grass, and was glad of it. The world was happy and life a good thing. Spring was in the air, the snow on the hillside was fast disappearing, and under the dark brown leaves the first buds of arbutus were poking up their heads. He felt as rich as the king who dwelt in the great white palace yonder. He clasped his arms around his knees where he sat upon a rock, and let his large. dreamy eyes wander to the great mass of stone and tile nestling among the hills of Carsbad. for company, and by night the stars and the echoing stillness. But I am glad you have come. How did you chance to see me at so great a distance He glanced at the spot where the jagged stone spire rent the hills, and then back to her face. I did not see you by my eyes alone, she replied. l was looking through the leather mounted glasses which my father uses when he rides abroad, and I saw you sitting there, with the white sheep scattered about you like the petals of a vase. You remained still for so long, that I decided you were lonely, or in sorrow, so I came to you. You are very kind. I am only too glad that you have come. lVhy have you never came before? 'AI could not get away. Always some one observed me stealing from the castle gate, and stopped me.

His uncle, the wise one, had said that it was right and good to love one's king and country, and the Wfise One never erred. Suddenly his reflections were brought to an end by a figure on the hillside. He unclasped his arms, and rose from the rock, shading his eyes with his hand. herd Boy? it not true? know that, Jeanne?

She came straight to hing, unabashed by his stare, and smiled at him with a smile that was all friendship. 'Shepherd Boy, she said, I have come to play with you for a littleiwhile.
