Driver gives a conundrum: Why is an old maid like some Latin verbs?” Ans.: ' There is no bo (beau) in the future.” Margaret C.: Yes. this is Miss Margaret. It is very easy to mix the Clarkes. So easy that some- times it is said Miss Margaret gets into a mix-up with her sister. But you won't mistake her again. She is the girl with the large mellow, melting eyes; eyes that have made her particularly famous in her con- quests. See even now to her gir- dle hang several Phi Sigma Chi scalps with drawn and lowering visage. Mr. Cassidy: (Astronomy) The lenses of a telescope are polished by rubbing them on the cheeks of men employed for this purpose.” Mildred M.: I shouldn’t think that a man’s cheek would be smooth enough for such a pur- pose.” Mr. C.: How do you know?” Foreman: Swans sing before they die. 'Twere no bad thing 1 id certain people die before they sing.” Myers: You’d scarce expect one of my age To speak in public on the stage. R. (’rook: He walks as though he were stirring lemonade within himself. M. Sturgeon: (Civics.) The American bill of rights is contain- ed in the first ten commandments, (amendments.) Isabel: Russell give me a kiss! (candy.)” Russell: I can’t. I just gave them all to Henrietta.” Marie R.: I’m a Senior. I’ve a sweetheart. I'm happy all the day. I jolly, beam and smile Until all things go my way.” Alten | Crook Foreman ( All gall is divided in three parts. L. Boving: William was still more sterner. He didn't have no mercy.” Bring us men like Russell Driver. Bring us men to mutch our plains; Men with empires in their purpose And grey matter in their brains; Bring us men to match our High School. Men to match our city dear. Men whose only thought and purpose Is to bring the contests here Bring us men to match our Driver. Bring us men. — E. Bcti.kr. ’09.

On Friday. April tenth, was given the first oratorical contest exclusively for our own High School pupils. Some weeks previous to that date, prizes had been offered to the three students who would prepare and de- liver. independent of any training from the teachers, the best orations on any subject. Everybody took grtat interest and eight persons entered. On the even- ing of the contest the High School Auditorium was well filled with pu- pils and the friends of those taking part. All the classes wore their col- ors and pennants, while two classes had large pennants made for the oc- casion. The program was opened with an overture bv the High School Orchestra and the invocation by Rev. H. V. Summers followed by the eight ora- tions and several musical numbers. Oral Myers, of the class of 1008. gave an excellent oration on Reform that Reforms. and well deserved the first prize which he won both by his delivery and eloquent oration. Blanch Xioolia and Emma Spaun both of '08. had orations based on English Literature: one was Women in Literature. and the other History and Development of the English Lan- guage. Both of these showed the work that the Senior English class had been doing. One of the best orations of the even- ing was the one by Margaret Busby. '10. Though short. It was interesting and was well received. Ethel Shumaker, another Senior. was especially good in the delivery of her oration entitled. Political Devel- opment of the United States. It was full of patriotism and life. Although the Juniors were not suc- cessful. they can well be proud of their two orators. Charles Brasharas and Charles Franklin Miller. Charles Brashares had prepared a JJ tt 1H i'm n r i a m LAURA BELLE ACTON, Born June 28, 1893. Died October 24, 1907. '• 'Twns an angel visited the green earth, and took the flowers away. fine oration entitled. The Passing of the Sword. but was not so success ful in giving it. and Charles F. Miller came very close to the winners with his speech on Parasitism. Boyd R. Abbott. 1910. wrote on The War Record o' James A. Garfield.” After the program was completed. the decision of the judges was read by Mr. Cassidy and it was found that Oral Myers was the winner of the first prize, fifteen dollars in gold; Ft: el Shumaker, second ten dollars, and Margaret Busby, third, five dol- lars. The members of the faculty and stu- dent body may well congratulate themselves that eight such excellent orations were produced and that in- terest is being taken in the perpetua- tion of this line of work.
