Be- sides the devotional services conduct- ed by the several teachers alternate- ly, there has been marked musical ability displayed by a number of pu- pils. which has greatly added to the pleasure of the exercises. Our High School Orchestra, which has come to be a recognized part of our high school, has played several times at chapel and also at several of the Sen'or lthetoricals. This organi- zation is certainly a great benefit to the school and the boys should be encouraged in their work. The Girls' Chorus has also contrib- uted its share to the pleasure of the audiences on different special occas- ions. The chorus is certainly appre- ciated from the number of invitations it has received to s’ng at other places in the city. The chorus was also or- ganized early, and has done very good woik. Throughout the year It has ben our pleasure to entertain many prominent men and women who are interested in school work and young people. On Sept. ISth. Rev. Mr. Cooper conducted the morning exercises, which was then folowed by a very in- teresting talk by Rev. Mr. Mougcy. (both visiting ministers). On Sept. 21st, Rev. Mr. Jamison of Clrcleville. O.. conducted the morning exercise. Mr. William Radcbaugh. member of the Board of Kducation. visited the 145} Miller Block. W. Main Street. Citizen Phone 86-m.

During the Methodist conference and the English Lutheran Synod, which were held in this city in the fall, several of the visiting ministers were present at chapel exercises. . It has been our privilege on several occasions to entertain some represen- tatives of Ohio colleges. Among the number have been Miss Porter of Ox- ford College for Women: Dr. C. C. Miller, president of Lima College: Prof. Martzolf of O. U.. and Prof. Edwards of Delaware. On Nov. llth. Rev. Gelvin. pastor of First Presbyterian church, gave an instructive talk on Science and Re- ligion. Being a close student of sci- ence as well as religion, he showed how closely the two were related, and how the one really depended on the other, although many people th'nk they have no relation to each other. Nov. 20th. Devotional to Burns. Miss Curtiss described in a charming manner Burns' home and vicinity, ns seen by herself last summer. In that deep, melodious tone of his. Frank McClintock read Burns' poems. “Highland Mary and Flow Gently, Sweet Afton. Mr. Thomas sang My Love is Like the Red. Red Rose. On Nov. 24th. Mr. Hawk gave a recitation. Napoleon, accompanied on the piano by Miss Carpenter, a gradu- ate of Ohio University. Mr. Hawk then accompanied Miss Carpenter to the station in Miskel's automobile bus. The music of the American negro, the expression of a good and care- free heart, has long been one of the most pleasing features of American life. Among the negroes have sprung up a number of writers of the wis- dom. wit and humor of the race. One of the most notable of these is an Ohio man. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, who has takni high rank among the writers of today. Another Is Elliott Blaine I lender, on. an Ohio man. who visited our school on March 19th. and entertained us very highly bv read- ing several of his own productions from his book entitled Plantation Echoes. After the Christmas vacation, chap- 1 exercises and certain other pleas- ures which the scholars have enjoyed other years at the noon hour, were discontinued, thereby tnk’ng away much of the ambition and school spirit.

A Tribute to Industry. James Bloom. This paper would certainly be incomplete without mention of our industrious janitor, Mr. James Bloom, whose untiring efforts along his line of duty have won well deserved words of praise not only from our own citizens, but from visitors from other towns as well. In a recent issue of a mag- azine devoted to the High Schools of Ohio and their work, the high degree of neatness and spotless cleanliness prevailing in the Lan- caster High School was comment- ed upon most favorably. More than once Mr. Bloom has been known to stay up all night during cold spells in the winter that the building might be kept warm for the next day. Fidelity to duty such as his is rarely found, and we feel safe in saying that he is not only the best janitor in Ohio, but one of the most popular as well. The following may be taken as representative of the sentiment of the school: He is famed far and wide For the wonderful pride Which he take’s in the building’s condition; He is known as a man Who will do all he can To ennoble his hard-earned position. And we’ll never forget Rut we'll always respect I) E B R I S. Mr. Bloom for his tireless en- deavor; For old Jimmy Bloom With his mop and his broom Will live in our thoughts for- ever. As Others See Us. A reasonable amount of school prld? Is a Rood thins, and serves a real pur- l»ose. We have reason to be proirl when disinterested parties see points in our school which they consider worth mentioning in a public way. The following extracts are taken from recent issues of the Ohio Educa- tional Monthly, and go to show that the efforts of our superintendent, teachers, and students are recogniz- ed: Four years ago the I ancaster High School enrolled 150. Now the enroll- ment is 312. Somebody has certainly been at work in that fertile vine- yard. Anent the subject of good pictures in schools it may be said that pic- tures in a large degree betoken the character of the school. There are many ways in which we express our real selves and one of these is through pictures. If the real self is high grade, then a cheap chromo will be an offence and nothing but represen- tative pictures will meet the demand. The teacher who can tolerate th» cheap and gaudy must lack some of the qualities that make for excel- lence. One has but to visit such schools as Lancaster, etc., etc., to find exemplification. These are schools that have excellent pictures, and no one can doubt that these pictures have a wholesome influence. MISTHER CASSIDY. Faith, Misther Cassidy. What a bright, bland smile ha’ ye. When my feelings like a kite Are a sailin’ out of sight And I feel like I could fight Misther Cassidy. Faith, Misther Cassidy, What a solemn man are ye. When you’ve got me on the rug And my feelings drop ker-chug And I feel that I could hug Misther Cassidy. Faith, Misther Cassidy, What a dear old man are ye. With your quaint old Irish jokes And your head which fun pro- vokes. Strange to say our whole class dotes On Misther Cassidy. —C. B. I. Oh. nine round peas in the pod; I will hang it over the door; The very first man that under it comes, I am his forevermore! II. There’s Harry—I’ll ask him in; He never will dream, or know That the magic pod hangs over the door With nine round pods in a row. — Bud.” Come all ye loyal classmates We have something else to do We’ll raise the flag of L. II. S. With a loud whoop and halloo And bequeathing it our blessing We’ll bid to her adieu. —W. W. M. HOTEL MIT HOFF. ELMER RUBLE and CLEM YONK, Proprietors, LANCASTER, OHIO. A host that anticipates your every desire. Because he is a gentleman not for hire; A table that is a credit to the host— He’s not writing this ad.; it's the traveler’s toast.
