page twenty-six Citizenship has its duties as well as its privileges. In our past history we have been receiving only privileges from our citizenship. Now, when our country is in need, we have a chance to do our duty. Our country calls for us to lend our money. If we expect privileges in the future, let us do our duty by buying Victory Bonds. ( ttilie Heilemann ' 1 9. It was largely the preparation that defeated the Huns. If we had not been prepared for a gigantic attack this summer, and ttiat attack had come, what would we have done? Because of our great preparation the war was brought to a close long before any one thought it was possible. True it is, that many tons of ammunition have been dumped into the ocean, and that many guns are now nothing but junk: but in the final analysis would you not rather pay for a gun that never killed a man than for one that has? Now that the war is over, it is easy to look back at what has been done and say what should have been done. The question is, '‘Could we have done any better at the time? The answer is a firm, No.” But we prepared for Victory and, having won Victory, we must now pay for it. Mary Ballentine ’ 19. A new and interesting project in Junior English was introduced this year,—the making of books. Every boy and girl in the class wrote about and illustrated a phase of life or activity especially interesting to him. The result was very clever bird books, war books, books of sports, books on nature, books illustrating poems, and even a book of eats. Here are pictured a few pages and covers.

PACiE TWENTY-EIGHT PUBLIC LIBRARY The Public Library is naturally an important adjunct of the high school. Its importance and usefulness is increasing from year to year. New reference books are being added, and the librarian is ever ready to assist students in their work. Students from out of the city find it a splendid place to go in the evening for study. Thru the public library the school is able to direct the reading of its students into desirable channels. It is in general a valuable asset to the pupils attending this high school. Phyaic Claia.
