a d Q C5 tile subject most hoy-like to take. ' I’here were only four boys in the Physics ela.ss so we were not liothered by exiilaiiiiiij ' many tbintrs to the frirls, for those of oui- class are extremely curious as we discovered in Chemistry. Chemistry is a study of ehemieal elian es and man’s attempt to control them. If you have ever taken it you were no doubt impressed with the mystery involved, and many, “() how pretty” expressions escaped junir lijis, if a fiirl or, ‘‘pretty nifty” if a boy. It’s a very interestin : subject and a jileasant one if you leave out lUS (Ilydro ren Sulphide). We realize that our knowl- edge of Chemistry is only the dust on the cover, and that it is summer time with only the most scientific student of Chemistry. Botany, Physics and Chemistry taken all together make a very good post to lean against, is our advice to those entering High School. So if you ever get a chance at any or all of them tackle low and hold tight, and we guarantee that you will not be a loser iu knowledge or pleasure. HOWARD REl)I)I, (i, ' Ki. HISTORY ,S SOPHIES our minds were kejit busy under the guidance of iMr. Stoltz, tracing the develoiiement of man through the prehistoric, the Oriental and the classical ages iq) to medieval times. ' J ' he study was more inti ' resting, as we studied individually the lives of Darius, Alexander the (treat, Philip of iMacedonia, Augustus, C’onstantine and Caesar, whose names and deeds have had effect u|)on the events of all succeeding ages. While Ancient History dealt with the hi.story of Carthage, Rome, 0 recce and other Oriental countries. Medieval and Jlodern History dealt with the spread of civilization over Xorthern Europe and America. iMr. Stoltz led us through a nieri’y course, at least we considered it such until we (‘ame to the tests and found our nunds void of all memory of those precious numbers known as dates. THERESIA CHESTER. ’Hi. CIVICS HERE were thirteen in our class. This was one of the large.st classes and I thiid the largest in which all were exempt from St ' iiiester examinations. This fact I think was due to our teacher, i Ii ' . Worthington, who made the recitations so interest- ing. It seemed as if the problems of early times were before us. When we came to the present day problems the discussions were indeed lively. One of the mo.st interesting of these was the debate upon ‘‘AVoman Suffrage.” In this debate the girls argued for it and the boys against it. .Mr. AVorthing- ton .said he could see no reason why women should not have ecpial suffrage so we girls won. Looking forward to the time when we will all be voters, I think we should in some way prepare for it. A good preparation lies in the study of Civics. PEARL OLS. 0 0 19

Seclnded nooks and marshy places were trampled o’er, and the rai-est and lu-ettiest dower plucked from its fertile hiding place beside a decaying log, by hands that never tliought of the lives they took nor of the thousands that they desti ' oyed, hut you can’t blame us foi ' we were oidy Preshmen. We would search half a day for a rare specimen, just to have a pretty little girl say, “() what a pretty flower! Where did you get it, will you bring me a nice bompiet tomorrow?” iMany times we got onr feet and clothes muddy and sometimes ourselves badly scratched trying, hut think of the smiles we got later.

Physics, the most wonderful of all sciences, for you cannot help noticing .some indication of the research for the scientific as you notice the many modern imi)rovements of this .scientific world of onrs. Yon notice the railroad engine, the automobile, the d.ving machine, the wii-e- less telegra])h and the many other electric machines, but did you every stop to think how they work, and on what ])rinciples.

D 0= P EUNICE KOPEK (lOrman and English l!)ld- llnbart High School 1907 DePamv University GERMAN HEN the class of 191(i entered High School there was a gi ' cat dis- cussion as to who should take Latin and who should take Oerinan. As usual, the majority was ou the German side. It seemed larger than other years, with a ratio of eighteen to two, but when the German class started, they found a few Avere missing. We, the German class, started out Avith high ideals. We thought Ave Avonld be able to converse Avith each other in “Dent.sch” before the year Avas up, hut Ave soon forgot our fii’st vieAvs Avhen Ave discovered the difficulties in the grammar. In our Ereshman year, under Miss Ethel Erank, Ave succeeded in making our Avay half through “Becker Khodes” and studying “German Stories Re- told.” In our Sophomore year, under iliss Eunice Roper, Ave finished “Becker Rhodes” and took Aip “Allen ' s Composition” and “Imniensee.” As Juniors, Ave translated “Hermann and Dorthea” and “Minna Amn Barnhelm.” They Avere both interesting love stories Avhieh Ave enjoyed Auny inueh. Then Ave took up the play “hligensinn.” We each learned a part and acted it out, Avhich made us look foiuvard Avith plea.sure to German class. In our Senior year only tAvo remained, so Ave Avere alloAved to go on Avith the Junior class. We transla ted “Wilhelm Tell” and “Nathan der AVeise.” These stories Avere highly entertaining, hut hard Avork Avas required to master them. AVe eertaiidy had to Avork to keep up Avith the Juniors. In conclusion, Ave Avish to thank Aliss Frank and Aliss Roper for their patience in helping us to aecpiire the knoAvledge Ave have of German. LOLA BARNES 0 Q o (P 0 Q 20
