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.

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.

28 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL As a class that has been first in everything during our high school career, We have added another distinction to our list, that of being the first class to have the advantages of the new up-to-date, sanitary laboratory. Vile are proud of these improvements and thank the school oiiicials who have made this possible, for few schools of this size can boast of so fine an equipment. Each Chemistry student deposited fifty cents, and then was sup- plied with a key to a locker in which is kept the apparatus. As yet We have no broken articles against our account so We expect to receive our money back fwith interestj. Our Chemistry teacher, Mr. Zaugg, We thank for his patience with us through all our faults and failings. Our sincere hope is that all future science classes will have the advantage We have had and that this advantage may be improved and that they may have the pleasure of looking back to a year as profitably spent as has been the year 1910-11 to the students of the H.
