 OHIO. I was born in Ohio, and I state the fact with pride. I am proud of all her hill-sides, and her fertile valleys wide; Proud of her majestic forests, of her placid rivers h ue; Proud of all her wealth of blossoms, of her sons and daughters too Happy is the man or woman who, like me can proudly say, “I was born in Ohio, and it’s there I'm bound to stay.” Oh, those Ohio hills, tugged, rocky, high and steep! They are solemn in the twilight, when the somber shadows creep; They are fairest in the morning when the rosy sprite of dawn Lays her finger on their summits, ere the shades of night are gone. Oh, those mighty cattled hills, rising high and stretching far, Hiding-place of evening sunbeams, and of morning’s latest star. Oh, Ohio’s virgin forests,— slender maple, stately pine, Mighty oak and beech and chestnut; round whose trunks the wild vines twine! And the scarlet-fruited cherry, and the locust, white wiih bloom, And the cedar, drooping sadly, o’er (perchance] a forest tomb. Oh, those leafy, silent forests, with stray sunbeams sifting through. Where soaring, wild birds send their songs far-echoing to you! Oh, those Ohio rivers, and the lesser valley streams. Dashing, leaping, down the hill-sides bright with many hues and gleams! Dear old Maumee, ‘‘Peacefull water,’’ fair as any meadow-rill, Moaning, sighing, laughing, singing, in my dreams I hear you still! Quaint Ohio rivers - each still hears its Indian name l amed in legend, and deserving, to the utmost of their fame. Oh, those Ohio blossoms! Sweet arbutus in the spring — Anemones,—lady-slipper, these in turn their offerings bring. Daisies, white and blue and yellow; poppies, red and larkspur blue, Honeysuckle, sweet of odor; gentian with the sky's own hue. And in Autumn, glowing fields of gleaming golden-rod. By the lavish hand of nature, strewn upon this woodland sod. I was born in Ohio—in the greatest, grandest state -In the buckeye of the Union - best of all the fortv-eight; As a gift our state has given, to the claim of Uncle Sam Six of our most honored presidents, and they the worthiest of men. Proud and happy’s the man or woman who can say, “I was born in Ohio! rho I’ve wondered far away.” THIRTY-N'

Generally supposed, nothing does, hut our high school has disproved this. It has been built about four years, never completed, and yet we call it new. Unless some kind, rich, god sends a bountiful gift to the city, it will become old before it has ever been new. There it stands ready to become an up-to-date school building, the pride of the city, yet on account of need of money, it is fast becoming old. Where are the spirit and enthusiasm that will make the needed money? The high school students have a great deal of this, but they must have the backing of their parents, and all citizens in- terested in the welfare of the coming generation. T he old building has outlived its day of usefulness It has served its purpose faithfully and needs a rest So since we must equip the new one to do its work, let us all do our share with a hearty good will. 7'o the Board of Editors and to those who have assisted them, is due this excellent publication, with all its literary, humorous, and rhetorical effort. To the Board of Censorship, comprising two well-known O. U. graduates, are due all criticism and approval, and consequently all grammatical errors both large and small. TH1RTT-E.10HT
