Bliss glllavrellet jill. Zfuleg She took us, one by one, and asked us With her molherly tone what 'we wanted to clo. Her attitude pleased us, ancl in her our trust Was put and our fright instantly flew. Now that we are going to leave her Our eyes are dim and clark with tears We know no other principal but her And to meet another is our main fear. We see hcr every day ancl love her smile For her entire soul shines as jewels in the sun And her eyes are of a blue so soft ancl mild. That there seems to be in her something of heaven - One of Us.

HONOR LEAGUE A few years ago the State Department of Edu- cation started a system which awarded a num- ber of students membership in the State Honor League. The requirements to the Honor League are honor averages in academic work character, dependability and leadership. These students are recommended by the teachers and then elected by their classmates. Herkimer has had a very good record for membership in the League. The winners of the Honor League in '24 were, Mildred O'Don- nell and Mary Prattg in '25, Martha Kromalney and Paul Hydong in '26, Gordon Youngs, in '27, Mary Locke, Shirley Gressel, Catherine Risely, Florence Metzfgar, Regina Weiss, Alice Law, Dorothy VanValkenburg, Alice Richard' son, Wtard Haller, Vernon Schrader and Gordon Holfsetterg in '28, Emily Yale, Marguerite Lengline, Virginia Brady, Marjorie Hunt, Sid- ney Johnson, Emil Kraus, Marx Cristman and Howard Kirby, The winners in the January election of 1929 were, Paul Zguris, Elton Huyck, Leland VValrath, Frank Pelton and Robert Howe. XVe are hopinggfor more members with the election following regents examinations now. We hope that there will be more to gain membership in the League in years to follow. RLY. '29. STUDENT'S CREED I believe in Herkimer High School as an in- stitution of the students for the students and by the students, whose just rules are derived from the consent of the educatedg established upon the principles of unity, equal privileges and higher education, for which ambitious and wise men have labored years to give us. I believe, therefore, it is my duty to my school to love itg respect its teaehersg obey its rules: make the most of my libertiesg respect its colors, and defend it against all defacement. D. G., l30.
