will nf the Qllaaz nf 1915 NV e, the class of 1916, after careful consideration, realizing the woe- ful and incomprehensible short-comings of the Seniors Qto bej, donate, with liberal hearts and magnanimous spirits, the following blessings to mankind. We, to' whom wise thoughts are as frequent as ripples upon an ocean, we, after leaving this hall of knowledge scatter our thoughts to those poor unfortunate school-mates, who have still one year of unending toil, before they are ready to be launched 'into the sea of knowledge. Of course a few of the honorable Seniors Cto bej will be a little dis- appointed in their blessings, but it is the best we could do and therefore should be appreciated. First, we will give Russell Ashby's great musical talent to George Heighway. Lilah Bradley's popularity to Dwight Kiem. Sallie Clark's and Thelma Roberts' loyalty toward woman suffrage to whosoever wants it. Kyle Mayhall's beard to Albert Alfrey. james Havens' basketball captainship to Herbert Gibson. Kenneth VVendling's pitching ability to Hobart Nolan. Ruth Poe's managing powers to Leona Young. Darnell Mahorney's hard nose to Halbert Rapp. Paul Stoner's great athletic desire to Bennie Reid. Naomi VVelch's dignity to Hilda Clark. Mayday Crew's reading ability to Scott Bell. Damon Lawrence's studiousness to Nathan Jones. Lillian Foster's blond hair to Esther Robbins. Glenn Stanley's affection for his blue shirt to Vaughn Clark. George Mahorney's size to Gayle Pickle. .LRuby Linn's beauty to Merle Pefiley. Gilda Rose's flirtations to Frank Foster. Edison Robbins' fighting spirit to Paul Graybill and Oscar Servies. Lucille Booker's affection to Carl Todd. Margaret Ronk's, Lucille Brown's, Florence Towell's and Fern Hunt's ambition to some meek Junior.

The girls agreed after she had gone that she would make a Hne mu- sician if she only had the opportunity. One night the girls asked Julia if she would like to go home with them, to a large city, and take lessons on her violin. No, no, replied julia, I can not leave my grand parents, because they are too old and could not get along without me to care for them. On the following Friday the girls departed with many regrets, telling Julia that they would return again next summer. She liked the girls very much and also regretted their leaving because she knew that she would be so lonesome without them and wished that she might go with them to the large city. NVhen the girls returned the following summer Julia's grandparents had died during the winter, and she was living with some neighbors. She had been watching for them for a long while and was very happy when shefound them all settled in their old camping grounds one morning. They spent about a month camping this summer and when they re- turned home Julia returned with them to take music lessons. The large city excited her at first, but she soon became accustomed to the noise. julia now made her home with one of the girls and was treated as a daughter. She began to take violin lessons at once and was found to be very talented. She proved to be her teacher's best pupil, so she was chosen to take the leading part in the recital which the teacher was going to give. The paper was full of the news, that Miss julia Ward, a very tal- ented musician, was to take the leading part in the great recital which Professor Barington was giving in the largest theater in the city. As Mr. Ward sat reading the paper in his room that night, it dawned on him that this girl might be his daughter. He thought it would be best to wait until after the recital to make sure he was not mistaken. He went to the program, and after she had finished playing he was certain she was his daughter, because she resembled her mother. julia impressed not only him, but every one, with her beautiful music. At the end of the program Mr. VVard succeeded, after some time, in reaching Julia. He made himself known to her, but she was slow to be convinced that he was her father. She noticed, however, how closely he resembled a picture which she had often studied as she thought of him, and she finally decided that he was her father. Julia now went to live with him, and he built a beautiful home at the edge of the city. Every summer they spent a month or two at her old home among the mountains. XV hen she was twenty-eight they went abroad, where she advanced her music and became a great musician. NINA STANLEY, 'I9.

Hnratinnal Enmeztir Srivnre Domestic Science has been introduced into almost all of the high schools of the State, and has proved to be a very valuable study for these reasons: QU It gives the girl a general knowledge of food and how it should be prepared. C22 It interests many girls in cooking and house- keeping who otherwise would know nothing about it. Q31 The system used in the public schools is necessarily systematical and economical. The Ladoga School Board realized this, and at the beginning of the school year 1915-16 they caused the old seminary building to be properly equipped as a kitchen. They secured Mrs. Werts as a teacher and about 97 per cent. of the high school girls took advantage of the opportunity offered. The equipment consists of eight porcelain tables, one porcelain cab- inet, two sinks, eight two-burner coal oil stoves, two coal oil ranges, with ovens, a refrigerator, and two 'cabinets in which aprons are kept. Each table is equipped with utensils for two girls, thus making it possible to have a class of sixteen at one time. There have been lessons on the preparing of food, and also the serv- ing of it, which is almost as important. Each girl has been required to keep a note book containing all recipes tested at school and much other valuable information. These were al- u.' 1 ways open for public inspection, so that everyone could see what was be- ing done. V Several luncheons were served during the year, all of which were voted a success by the guests. Early-in the year the Seniors served I2 o'clock luncheon to the Schood Board. The menu was as follows: Creamed Chicken on Toast Mashed Potatoes Cabbage a la Surprise Waldorf Salad Tapioca Cream Peanut Cream Coffee D One other very interesting thing was the serving of a school lunch at which baked beans, brown bread sandwiches and hot chocolate were offered at a very low cost. This was prepared by the Seniors in their regular class and all was in readiness at II : 50, when fifty-five of the stu- dents responded to the delightful odor from the kitchen and certainly did justice to the food prepared. Of course, one cannot complete the course in a single year, but after an entire high school course in Domestic Science I think every girl will have acquired a knowledge that will be of great benefit to her.
