Suddenly the command was given to ad- vance on the 'fenemyf' The battle of liull Run didn't have a thing on this fight, even the sly and nimble fingered gritted their teeth, shut their eyes, and charged into the fray. Hot dogs were bayoueted, big spuds were stabbed, and numerous sour and dill pickles were captured before our eyes. The on- slaught was terrible to behold. But after a short time a halt was called and each one was served a brimming cup of the infusion of Coffea Arabica. which instilled into us fresh courage. The command was again given to advance and slowly but surely the enemy disappeared before the crunching noise and gurgling sound of a ferocious appetite being appeased. Then after the manner of other wild animals when they have had their fill, some time was spent loatiug in the shade, telling tales too numerous to mention. But very soon the age-old cry for vengeance was heard to arise from some of the Sen- iors, Immediately the bristles began to rise on the necks of the mightier of the Juniors, and once more plans went forward for the annual Baseball game. A general warming up of both teams took place and every one went to the field of battle. Final instructions were given and each one went to his particular place. there to await the word. Coach Vvhitney stepped to the cen- ter of the held and 'tread the law. The fact was made clear that there was to be no showering of either bricks or hot dogs upon any player. and particu- larly the umpire Ql'rof. XVl1itney himselfj. As we all know, the fact stands out that age comes before beauty, and so consequently the Seniors were given First bat. Prof. XVhitney stepped into the box, slipped the tinfoil off of a new American leaguer, gave the catcher one glance, and with his famous wind- up shot a most wicked ball to him. A resounding smack came from the catch- er's big glove, and with the sound came all the pentup energy and demand for revenge from the Seniors. Both players and classmates gave vent to a mighty roar, and the battle was on. But their outburst of brilliant playing didn't last long, and before the onslaught of our mighty pitchers they fell as doth grain before the reaperf' They even went so far as to substitute Arsiculus Thompson, better known as Tom, and if they had been able to put in a few more like him the score might have been different. .Xs it was they fell victims to a lo-10 score. After the game we refreshed ourselves with sweetened delicacies, Arrangemlents were then made to get our sore and tired bodies home. And many that night were they that turned and twisted in their broken sleep trying to humor some par- ticular sunburned spot or to murmur unspoken curses. lmiut deep in their hearts they were glad that they had taken part and would do it again if the occasion should arise. MAY lO. Everybody happy. XYhy? School is out. :X funny feeling comes over the most of us because as we stand here we know that we are probably gazing on some faces for the last time.

Spring fever has made its appearance. and while some have had a chronic ture shows have a good patronage from the school. APRIL 20. Peet Bros. were honored by a visit from our school in our search for more knowledge, and each one came away with new ideas, while some came away the proud possessors of sly smiles and twinkles of eyes blue as the azure skiesfl which were ei-:en by many of the fair maidens employed by the great firm. Apologies to l.onUfelloW.D APRIL 29. The Seniors finish their work, and the halls seem dark and lonesome without their smiling countenances. ' MAY 1. Yale pass through another ordeal. This time we again sweat, because it is our final exams. , MAY 3. But the sun always shines after the rain and plans a1'e finally completed for a big picnic to be held very soon. MAY 5. The clay of days has arrived and every one is eager for the fray. Ex en Arsiculus Thompson, our noble janitor, who keeps the basement door locked so that the temptation to leave without permission is not so great. has a smile on his face. But why not laugh if so inclined because this one event will re- main uppermost in our thoughts when other things are dimmed? It was a beautiful day. and from reports some of the students saw the sun rise for the first time in many years. so great was their joy. About 10 o'clock saw the advance guard of the two classes getting things arranged for the occasion, and also to get the diamond in shape for the annual baseball game. The place selected for the picnic was ideal. and near by was a large bathing beach, which was also ideal for boating. At eleven two large trucks brought out the larger part of the Class together with the eats, and from the looks of the amount of food one would think that it was enough to feed a young army for at least three days. Every one tried to outdo the other in helping get things straightened out. the picture presented was similar to that of a hen with a brood of chicks the first or second time that they were ever 7 l 1 l T 7 1 - ' 4 4 . 1 l I i . ,l i I ' - l l lg ' l ease we notice many new faces in its ranks, And we also notice that the pic- : A 3 l , l ., l C s ' E away from the nest. each one jumping around. no care. no worry and onlv getting in each other's way. lint many hands make light work.

So with a few hurried good-byes we leave with the assured 11117111150 to see each other next September. SEPTEMBER 16. Hello, gang! How is the world treating you? Gradually all of the old bunch come straggling in, with some few exceptions. and many new faces. all ready for the grand finale. But there is a funny feeling in the atmosphere, as if some unforeseen thing was going to happen. XVe assemble in the Senior room and Prof. and Mrs. VVhitney give us all a hearty welcome. and then they tell us the good news. Vlfe are going to move into new quarters, some- thing that is more adequate to take care of such a fine school as we have. The old roof just barely would stay on. so great was the enthusiasm displayed. Plans were made and perfected, and within a few short weeks we moved into our present quarters, which are thoroughly up-to-date in every way. GCTOBER 5. At last we are ready for work and every one starts in with great earnest- ness. Football team is organized. Claude Riley is elected Captain, and through no fault of his, he had great difficulty in making dates. because we had a team in name only. NOVEMBER ll. School is turned out for Armistice. While some took part, the majority took advantage of the opportunity offered and did other things. NOVEMBER 18. The school as a whole gives a big dance at the jack-o'-Lantern in the form of a carnival and when any one makes the remark that these drug store cowboys can't put over a good thing. he should be allowed to watch one of them and see for themselves. And if anybody thinks that Professor and Mrs. VVhitney are getting old just because their hair is turning gray they should have seen them glide over the floor. They did just as many fancy steps as any others present. NOVEMBER 27. School is turned loose until after Thanksgiving. Every one is cautioned to let their conscience guide their appetite. All promise faithfully to do so But what is a promise among soda squirts? And from what we hear some tried to make up for the three months away from home. and consequently paid the penalty. DECEMBER l. They came straggling back looking rather peculiar, while some admitted of dizziness in upper section from shoulders up. which is mostly composed of Page Forty-Six A 1EIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIII Illlllllllllllllllll IllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllll lllllllllillllfllii. ..
