LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. 21 A SENIOR S THOUGHTS. Four years ago with hesitating step. With doublings dark, and fears thru Ignorance born. With expectations drear to soon be met By trials sore, and of all pleasure shorn. We slowly bent our way that autumn morn Toward the High School, which, by iips untrue Was much debased with hatred vilo and scorn By that illiterate and Jealous Tew, Who their God given minds to culture did eschew But we to whom the pleasure has been given This school of highest morals to at- tend. Do now by sense of highest, duty driven With one accord our joytul voices blend To sing our High School’s praise. Us name defend From rude attacks by those, whose lives it seems Are spent our taults to find. And who pretend Our goodness not to see; as by this means They think to hide the source from which true knowledge beams. So when by chance thou hear’st some prattling tongue Speak ill of all the virtues of our school. Remember this. That he were better hung, Who thus of his poor self doth make a fool. And thus at once become the dull- edged tool Of Satan, In whose grasp he soon will lay. And ask of this uneducated mule Where he to school did go. and he will say: That he no llkelng for It had and staid away. Or else for years a Freshman did re- main I’ntll by acts too wicked to be told Did for himself deserved expulsion gain. And now with brave untruths and sayings l old And to revenged be. he tries to mold A weapon, whereby our good name will fall. In this he needs must fall, and he grown old. O’er his |K)or sinful self the death- black pall Must pull, and friendless, answer the Creator’s call. We sorrow for you. O mistaken one. Your course Is vain. O could you yet return And here with earnest mind and guarded tongue. Now, for yourself deserved promotion earn. For to the one whose will it is to learn Will measure small of sin and pride appear. For in all life we deadly sin must spurn And with all self-reliance ne’er must fear The right to do: the world of wicked- ness to clear. Thus we, the Senior class of 1907 That this our school with all success may meet. With fervent prayer, our faces turn toward heaven. And hence, as time with hasting step, and ileet. Rolls swiftly on: with recollections sweet We’ll e’er remember «lays we spent within These sacred walls, and tho’ oppo- nents treat Thee with contempt, who friends to thee have been Will know that thru eternity our school must win. —Ralph E. Hedges. ’07. X-RAYS OF SOME JUNIORS. F. Adams— A breath thou art. Servile to all the skyey Influences.” A. Baker— M. Cinder— A double blessing is a double grace.” M.

LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. 23 O LAS S P ROP H EO V. Fortuno has smiled very favorably upon me. and luck has always turned her bright countenance toward me, in two respects. I have never been com- pelled to confine myself to any set- tled business and as a consequence have had the time to keep track or those old school-mates of mine. Shortly after 1 hud graduated a rich uncle, who died, bequeathed to me his entire estate. For this reason I have never engaged in any active business, but have been allowed to roam thru the world at my own free will. Like any other becoming suddenly rich I knew not what to do: finally 1 decided to become an Itinerant. I was much encouraged In this by the remembrance of a lecture by Prof. Thomas, in which he endeavored to portray to us the pleasures in travel- ing. Altho this lecture was delivered several years before, it was still fresh in my mind. (As was everything the Prof, said.) So I started from Buffalo, which was then my home, to New York in order to take in a few of tne sights oi ottr own country before leaving for Europe. While strolling up a street, a large sign caught my eye upon which was written the following: Madame Margaret Ritchie, Flesh Reducer. Reduces your flesh while you wait. Why stay fat? Obesity safely and quickly cured. No evil aft- er-effects; I have used it myself. Step in and see for yourself.” Thinking 1 should like to see my old school-mate. I stepped in and had quite a nice talk. She told me New York was not a very good place for her dope” as the people walked so much they didn't have time to get fat. After leaving the Madame I walk- ed on up this street and came across the sign or .1. H. Campbell. M. D. The M. D. was more of an addition to his name than to his [Kicketbook. as 1 later found out: for he still called on papa” for “change. As I continued my walk, I noticed a Studio. 1 myself being Interested In art, entered, In order that 1 might look at some of the work. One pic- ture, In particular, attracted me. It was the portrait of a young lady aud the face seemed quite familiar. Upon inquiry I found it to be Miss Anna Mary McFee, who for several years had been posing for the famous ar- tist, Adelle Smith. Adelle is now a more talented artist titan when in High School, tor she studied abroad in a number of famous colleges and judging from her work her skill is miraculous. I heard a graphophone a few doors up the street, and started on Imme- diately, as such music always at- tracts me, but when I reached the place the music had ceased. How- ever, it soon commenced and announc- ed a piano solo played by Gladys Smith, who had become such a musi- cian that he;- pieces were recorded for gniphopliones. •Seeing a hotel across the way I happened to think how tired I was; so crossing I entered and engaged n room for the night. While talking with the clerk I was Informed that P. MoMiilin was the proprietor here; of course that was pleasant news, and I expressed my desire to have a talk with him, but to my disappointment he was then at Cambridge witnessing .» track meet between Harvard and Yale. After dinner I strolled down the street and was confronted by this sign, which read: K. Frash, chem- ist. 1 entered his office and was giv- en a warm reception by Karl. I after- wards learned that he was considered famous, and with his sweet little wife, A . Adalo Aten, was enjoying life im- mensely. Again 1 went on and in the course of my walk heard such a babel of voices which to me was quite new. This noise was coming from a large building and. of course, quite curi- ous, 1 stepped in and found a com- pany of women. Some (all, rather) were talking and endeavoring to make themselves understood, but such was impossible. The meeting was called to order by the president. Hazel Beck. Above her head on the wall in large letters I saw this: ‘Spinsters’ Convention. ' This worthy body met on Wednesday and Friday mornings of each week, for tbe purpose of do- ing charity work. At a desk on one side sat Hattie Waters doing the work or secretary, and Callie Schorr, treas- urer. 1 was aware of the fact that men were not permitted to bo pres- ent during the meetings of this Holy of Holies, so with hastening steps l again started up the street. On a large sign this caught my eye: “Leon W. Miesso, Hair Specialist. Consult this genius concerning any and all diseases of the scalp. A won- derful hair remedy has been discov- ered by him, which when applied to the scalp produces a heavy growth of hair. He hail continued the prac- tice which he had when in High School, that of combing Ills hair fifty times a day, until after a few years he had combed his head bald. While mixing a chemical compound one day some of it llew on his head where hair instantly sprang up. So he covered his whole head with it and now has a beautiful growth of hair. He is de- lighted to mink that he can now comb his hair without danger of suffering any inconvenience. By this time I was feeling some- what tired and hungry and thought that I would return to my hotel; but, to my disappointment, I was some- what. turned around; so seeing a cop across the street, 1 plucked up cour- age enough to go over and accost him and to my surprise I found him to bo my old school-mate, Karl Bumgardner. He had grown so tall and was so broad that I almost envied him. Aft- er receiving the desired information I found my hotel and spent the night lu peaceful dreams. The lollowlng morning was Sunday and I thought I would like to go to church, so was directed to the Meth- odist Church not far from my abode. On entering, imagine my surprise to see Ralph Hedges occupying the pul- pit. After listening to an eloquent sermon I hastened up to congratulate him. He Invited me to his home where 1 spent a very pleasant day. As 1 was to sail for Europe the next day I went back to the hotel to got some rest While reading a paper i noticed mention of several of my old friends. Frank Stukey was the pros- ecuting attorney of New York, and the paper gave him a blow up. It said that he unraveled cases with miraculous skill and emulated Jerome, a former Attorney, tho’ his satire was not so biting as the latter’s. In the social columns I was rather surprised to see that the great social event of the ensuing week was the double wedding of Nolle Delaney and Gladys Lupher. About 900 invitations had been Issued and it was to be quite a swell affair. On the next morning I sailed for Europe and after spending six long days on the ocean I landed at Liver- pool. England. I Immediately left the ship and while walking along tho street I caught sight of a telephone pole. This looked quite familiar as we have planty of them at home. I saw a man coming down and on close observation 1 found It to be Willard Wolcott. He told me all about him- self since leaving High School. He went to college and after graduating there went to England to claim a po- sition as cartoonist on the London Courier. On account of the high sal- ary he demanded, and the little work lie did, the paper was unable to keep him; and also some financial troubles of Its own caused the paper to go to the wall. So Wllllard having no relatives nor friends in that coun- try was forced to hunt up something else. During the time of Ills high sal- ary. his expenses were great and so he bad saved nothing for the rainy day.” Thus his reason for working in the telephone business was that he might make enough to pay his way back to America. That evening I went to the theatre to see the play Innocence Abroad. The leading lady was Mary Sil- baugh who had become quite a star. The next day I left for France, as I was anxious to visit the capital of the French Nation: and then, too, I had heard that Paul McCrum was an instructor In German in one of the colleges there, so I wished very much to see him. After visiting Paul Tor several days I left for Berlin wnere I heard of Nellie Benadum, Female Lawyer.” She is quite prom-
