All the means of action- Q iibgziii The shapeless masses, the materials- Lie everywhere about us. What we need ls the celestial fire to change the flint lnto transparent crystal, bright and clear. That lire is genius! The rude peasant sits At evening in his smoky cot, and draws With charcoal uncouth figures on the wall. The son of genius comes, footsore with travel, And begs a shelter from the inclement night. He takes the charcoal from the peasant's hand, And by the magic of his touch at once Transfigured, all its hidden virtues shine, And in the eyes of the astonished clown It gleams a diamond! Even thus transformed, Rude popular traditions and old tales Shine as immortal poems at the touch Of some poor houseless, homeless, wandering hard, Who has but a night's lodging for his pains.

xt HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 25 lVith Mr. Tl1o1npson as our teacher we progressed rapidly in Bronson's American Literature. Twice a week We studied classics in addition, to the history of Literature. YVe read HI-Ienry VIIIQ' Dick- ens' Tale of Two Cities, and HaWthorne's, t'House of Seven Gables. Our annual orations were Written in the spring. VVe realize that We are not destined to be orators, though one member of the class has shown great ability in that line of Work. Carl Lennertz has repre- sented us for two successive years at Hammond and we are certainly very proud of his Work. ' This year of our school life We have studied under the direction of Mr. Thompson. Our Work has been seasoned by reading short selections from each of the English authors as we have studied them. Mr. Thomp- son has also read selections to us that he had noticed outside of our prose and poetry books. This has added a great deal to the interest of the class and We all are very grateful to Mr. Thompson for giving us this opportunity to get acquainted with the authors and poets. Our work is nearly completed now and although We are really anxious to go out into the world and learn what is in store for us, we feel a pang of sorrow when we remember that We are leaving high school life with all its joys, forever. Our school life has been very pleasant and We cannot thank our teachers, for their part in it, too often nor too sincerely. VVe shall never forget any of our classes and the pleasure we derived from them, but more than all others Will our four years of literature, stand out as a pleasant memory.

Our l4f':f f?' first science Botany was re uired. I Jresume the ob'ect in I sip, D . , . , q 1 J x ,im this is to place the Freshmen in their proper environment,- ainong the green things of nature. Wle took it up with various feelings of awe, dread and curiosity, but under the kind instructions of our Botany teacher, Miss Quinnell, we soon became very enthusiastic over the subject and kept the class well supplied with specimens. The boys often ate the specimens. Skunk cabbage was their chief delight, but they reached the climax on Indian turnip. ' As all great people leave foot-prints on the sands of time, ours can be found in the old cabinet, in the form of plates of pressed flowers. But on the whole we gained a useful 'knowledge of our first science, and at the end of the year we were proud to be called green for Botany had taught us that all green things are growing. Science was laid aside during our Sophomore year and during the Junior year only one of our number stepped from the bounds to take Physics. But he has not returned to tell the story. The rest of ns stood in awe of the appliances of the Physics Class and waited until the time should come when we could burn I-120. In the fall of 1910, we returned as Seniors, and when the roll of the Physics Class was called seven of our number responded. The rest of the high and mighty class, ten in all, and all girls, were found standing at the portals of Chemistry. Of all classes this certainly was THE GLASS fprivate opinion publicly expressedj. lVe labored patiently over the diiiierent elements, molecules, atoms and laws and when our laboratory was completed we took, up that work readily.
