The infant dress of 'fYe Baby Oraclel' has long been laid away for the proud regalia of a strong and healthy youth. It has enjoyed the benefit of previous years' experience and again steps into the journalistic arena With firm tread and an easy manner. It speaks to the class and the school and their many friends. As in the palmy days of Delphian supremacy the vvorld-famed Oracle was Wont sometimes to couch its utter- ances in Words of hidden meaning, and at others to speak forth boldly, so novv with 794. But not as then is THE ORACLE infallible and divine. It sometimes errs, and needs must ask its friends to read with kindly eye and not think harshly of its youth. R THE ORACLE stands Hrmly for truth and fair play and the progress of the school in all its branches. . , f if if A three months? trial of the one session plan has proven highly satisfactory in every Way. By bringing the entire school day practically into the forenoon it entirely does away With the inconvenience of the afternoon session under the old plan, and thus by affording more time, or rather by causing less wczsie of time, it permits both teachers and students to do better Work Without being so constantly crowded as before. THE ORACLE believes the system Will be found not less convenient in Winter than in summer, and would strongly urge its continuance. W 96 96 The High School Athletic Association has covered itself With glory. ln the joint Held day between the Lansing and Battle Creek High Schools our boys Were easy Winners in all events calling for agility, speed and lightness, While in feats requiring the Herculean strength of big bones and mighty brawn the Battle Creek boys were quite generally ahead, although they positively declined to meet the Lansing boys at wrestling. The day was greatly enjoyed by both sides and by t-he many hundreds of enthusiastic friends who came to witness the contest. The occasion has its lesson and well illustrates the thought of Hvaulting ambition which o'erleaps itselff' The eagerly arranged stipulation admitting first yearls alumni to the games admitted some able men on the side of our opponents and gave us the pleasure of seeing several prizes fall to them. It is believed that if these sports are to be continued from year to year, as it is highly desirable they should be, it will be found altogether more satisfac- tory to make them strictly school affairs and require the participants to be carrying a certain number of studies and doing good work in them. This plan is followed in our best colleges and is found to give better results all round. Two years' trial of Greek in the school has been most gratifying in its working. The earnest plea of 79278 ORACLE for its introduction had its effect, and 'now the opinion of S793 that it was a valuable acquisition is only strengthened. The new coursegthus arranged has been approved by the University and now Lansingfs diplomas admit without examination to any course in that institution. It broadens the school and raises its already high standing among the many excellent schools of the State. E ' 96 if 96 ' , The annual Junior exhibition has been a very successful and entertaining part of the school program for three years past and ,THE ORACLE believes it can be made much more so in the future. With such strong classes as we now have, an entertainment of first quality in all particulars can beiarranged, and if properly advertised and given in the opera house, would draw a l-arge audience. Hundreds of people have staid away from these entertainments not because they did not wish to attend but because they knew the great difliculty of getting seats in the High School assembly room, or did not want to climb the stairs. ' . V 1 . vr 1+ 75 The original drawings for illustrating THE GRACLE this year are from the pencil of Miss Ruth Shank. The lettering is done by Miss Edith Sellers. We desire to express to them our thanks and high appreciation for these contributions which add so greatly to the beauty and Hnish of THE ORACLE. it H 96 The school this year loses one of its most able supporters in Prof. W. M. Wheeler. In his three years' stay in Lansing as principal he has worked constantly and faithfull 7 in the 5 interest of the school and has in many ways broadened its scope and raised its standing. He D has inspired the students with high aims and has kept up throughout the entire school a high tone of scholarship. His intention to leave us at the close of the present year was learned with ,universal surprise and regret, and he will bear with him to his new Held of work the good will' and best wishes of the entire school and his many friends in Lansing. At the present rate of increasing attendance, the question of a new high school building will soon force itself to some kind of settlement, or we shall be obliged to follow the example of a northern town and keep out new students with a police force. That the Lansing High School is in all probability unexcelled by any in the State is no doubt to a great extent the reason of this increase. Greater attendance means more funds, more teachers a broader field, and better appliances for work. The present building could now be entirely filled by the lower grades. THE ORACLE stands firmly for a new High School. if if 95 In the entire school life of our class, no- harder stroke has fallen than was the death f o Florence Porter. So earnest in her work, so bright and genial in her nature, she had endeared herself to everyone, and there was not one in the school but felt the deepest personal loss when the d t h sa rut was so suddenly and unexpectedly broken upon us that she had been with us for the last time. . if if 5-6 ' The editors desire to the preparation of THE ORACLE, and also those members of the different classes who have k. dl . . . . . . . in y assisted in collecting items of interest from the various recitation rooms. thank Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Hoyt for much valuable assistance in ID1l.8'ffOI'111 - HE ORACLE Board in convention assembled aliirms its belief in the following principles, ' and advocates the following policy in their application to our school: 1. The High School should be a public school, in that it should meet the needs of all the public so far as possible. ' A 1 ' To serve the needs of the various classes which compose this public it must offer several distinct lines of work, to students aspiring to a college education it should give-a preparatory course. This we do. To those who would supplement the High School course with music or travel, it should offer modern languages, especially French and German, literature, and possibly some theory and practice in music. These demands we supply in part. We Zfztk French and should have it. To the large class who golfrom the public schools to active life, most of them to some kind of manual labor, the schoolsowe a duty as yet unheeded. Manual training should be found in our High School for two reasons. It is a preparation that would be of .great service to all boys who become artisans. It is also a good educational agent. Many minds are most receptive to truth coming to them by way of the fingers 2 The High School work should be thorough and inspiring Truths learned should be correctly mastered, so that no zmlemfnmg will afterwards be needed Great principles of science and society should be presented so that the young mind, eager for a field of effort, may be captix ated by them and inspired to do some great work or be some great worker 'lo effect this requires teachers of broad culture and enthusiastic, earnest, truth loving minds Such men and women need the best educations available Our High School faculty should be recruited from the best colleges of the land 3 Our High School work should be wo: 12 No business demands more careful attention or more diligent and active work The teacher who does not make his subject laborious 1S a misnt The student who shirks his work should lose his right to a place in the school fhe vast majority are there for business, and it is unjust that their interests should be prejudiced by the interfering presence of an unappreciative minority ' 'll'Ji5t0YQ Of7Gl855 of '94 'f1,N.,.g.5i. ' NCE upon a time a child was born of poor but respectable parentage. The A I first twelve years of its life were fated to be one long, severe struggle. Its Q 1 i gray matter rapidly increased. Pieing endowed with robust lungs it was soon to be heard shouting, and givinggutterance to other strange sounds it ' fff' fx- which startled and astonished its parents. It was certainly Mmm Q90-buick a most remarkable child. V This child occasionally played but was always reproved for such conduct when seen. lt had a table of sand in which it might construct rivers, mountains and valleys, but there must be no mistake in the nomenclature. Great apprehension was excited by the probability of its becoming a confirmed dyspeptic because of its inability to thoroughly digest and properly assimilate the bountiful supply of multiplication and long division with which it was served. Thus this child was spurred and pushed on from one trial and tribulation to another, until by constant conflict she had attained such physical and mental development as to be thought worthy of christening. I I ln the year 1890, with due ceremonies, she was christened Ninta Foura. She then became a very conceited maiden and her self-importancevvas colossal. A description of the personal appearance of this newly christened maid might somewhat astonish one not accustomed to the sight. T A V .Her age-like that of many another maiden-was uncertain: it might be twelve and it might be seventeen. E A Her face, though not beautiful, was remarkable for its beaming intelligence. , Her figure was erect and the poise of her head was queenly, and yet on the day that she first entered the assembly room of the Temple of Learning, vulgarly termed the Lansing High School, with all the higher class men sitting or standing back so as to make room for her, she knew many of the eyes following he-r were unappreciative, and not all of the smiles were complimentary, and in fact she heard some remarks about HFreshmen not conducive to self- esteem. But she consoled herself with the reflection that her true worth was as yet unknown and the day would soon come when her brilliantattainments would command respect. T Here Ninta Foura first tasted the bitter cup of human selfishness. She discovered that the higher class men had neither time nor inclination to recognize' or appreciate merit not their own. Ninta Foura was thoroughly American. Her admiration Xfor her' country was even greater than her .esteem for herself. 'In order that this sentiment might be kept con- stantly before those to succeed her, she erected monuments to perpetuate the memory of her country's martyred presidents, Lincoln and Garfield. , A At last the time came for her to show the higher class men what she could do. On March 27th, 1893, a great' multitude filled the assembly room. A platform had been erected, which with its surroundings was draped with her favorite color, cardinal. There was a pause, and then a hush in the undertone which had filled the room, as she stepped forth and astonished them with her learning in Greek, Latin and German. Some, it is true, did not enjoy this display of learning, but that was not the fault of Ninta Foura. i D Previous to this, scholars had assembled from neighboring lands to display their accumu- lation of knowledge. Among other things they held a debate with Ninta Foura. They did very well, but they first made an error in assuming such a tremendous undertaking. The victory of N inta Foura was overwhelming, and the multitude cheered l Then came the invi- tation to contest with them on their -own ground, which was accepted. Ninta Foura, and the other class men, were beautifully received. She returned from this contest with colors flying and head held high. Then there were the orations and declamations of Ninta F oura for the edification of the other class men. They certainly -had never been equalled before, and it is doubtful if those distinguished citizens, calling themselves 'fSeniors, could surpass her, and Ninta Foura soon saw, to her own satisfaction at least, that they could not. As soon as the snow melted away she bethought herself to go botanizing. Equipped with the well remembered tin box and its worn leather strap, she started on her pilgrimage. She walked, and walked, yet found no Howers, at last, having wandered over many wet and weary miles, returned, exhausted, and next day received a U goose eggli for her pains. It Her experience in chemistry she seldom refers to, but on concluding this study she might sum up the results something after this fashion: Acids not good for the complexion, alkalies are bad for the eyes, chlorine gas and sulphureted hydrogen are very effective, experimental chemistry is not good for the clothing. VVhen eleven years of her life had passed, and in everything she had undertaken she had excelled, in a most prosperous condition she entered upon the twelfth and last year of her maidenly existence. She was now known as a Senior.'7 The summit had been reached. Theidays of this year were to be more busy and efllorescent than ever before, she was looked up to with awe, 4' And still they gazed, , ii And still their wonder grew, That one small head Could carry all she knew. Though her position appeared to her to be of great importance, she did not overrate it, nor was anyone ever more capable of maintaining it with dignity and decorum. She dedicated the evening of the third Friday of every month to the review of some author. Not that this was necessary for the development of .her own literary attainments, but she thought it best to set a good example for the succeeding Seniors. After thoughtful and careful consideration she decided to try the philosophy of Oliver Wendell Holmes, to laugh with Rudyard Kipling, that Anglo-Indian, to glance at Count Tolstoi, and his work of reform among the Russian peasants, through George William Curtis to visit New York society, to consider the attempted reforms of Victor Hugo, to enter the lives of some of the ancients with Lord Lytton, then to study F. Marion Crawfordis 3 pictures of Roman life 5 and last, take a look at the dreamy life studies of Ike Marvel. The study of these authors resulted in the production of many masterful reviews, the publication of which would have secured immortal fame for Ninta Foura. to Ninta Foura that it would be most As this last year came toward its close, it seemed suitable to have her photograph taken to give to her friends. She had that most excellent face of herls photographed in thirty different poses. This was not that she was vain, but that she fully appreciated herself and, thought it Was for the good of her fellow citizens that they see such complete mental development in as many different lights as possible. She as an intellectual being, is a success, and is now about to leave this Temple of Learn- 7 ing and take part in the practical duties of the World,--to surprise it with her marvelous achievements. Whether she Will fail or succeed in this last attempt remains for our sagacious class prophet to forecast and time to prove. it r RUTH JESSIE SHANK. . w X x ,,5,,hy f 4 M , Wag ' 4 ':3-'- Zz! 51365 IDFODDGCQ H HOULD old acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind?

First, ringing up the central lphone, I asked for Anna,,Long, Who ls now in California, And called the Queen of Song. o She told 'me that she ld traveled far A O'er land and ,cross the ocean, Giving concerts every night, But now she 4' had a 'notion i To leave the stage with all its cares, Endow some Worthy cause, Some charitable institute, A home for aged Zczwsf' The nextone on the list, I End Is Nellie Gongwer's name, A And she, you 'll all ,be pai-ned to hear, Is quite unknown toifame., ,Q g She 's running now a, pop-corn stand, In Lexington, Kentucky, S And says When all her debts, arepaid.

Grace Hagadorn, ,of Chicago, next, A kindergarten teacher, Ah! she 'd command obedience, So stern is every feature. She's taught the little ones that song, 4'The Yellow and the Blue, And for a chapel exercise They have to sing it through.

For though, in eighteen ninety-three, T heyhad one at the Fair, I had not seen for many years, , An article so rarei Next to the 'phone Rebecca came, A poetess, no wonder!

She spends her time in lecturing, For Womanis Rights she works, And thof her life is threatened oft, She ne'er her duty shirks.

Frank Merwin still in Lansing lives, He runs the Business College, And that that school at last succeeds, No doubt you all have knowledge. In Harper Hospital, a nurse Whoin all the patients bless Is Fannie Nichols found, and there, Clad in her sober dress, She moves about with noiseless tread, To comfort or to cheer, A ministering angel she, All will her name revere.

I-IE policy of annexation of territory to the United States, from 1783, down to and includ- ing the present time, has always been the-subject of earnest and ofttimes bitter controversy. It has had its zealous and fearless advocates and its able and bitter opponents. Few, if any, of the original founders of this great republic could have foreseen the colossal proportions it has assumed, and few, if any, could have foretold its future urgent need of more territory. The wildest dream of the most enthusiastic patriot and of the most sanguine statesman of 1783 has been more than fulhlled. At the close of the Revolutionary war, the United Colonies found themselves in possession of -an immense amount of territory, capable of supporting a population twenty times larger than it then contained, an extent of territory that, to their limited experience and knowledge, seemed well nigh incapable of governing. But the events of the next few years, the unex- ampled prosperity and the unparalleled success which those early statesmen had in dealing with seemingly diflicult problems, made it evident to some of the more far-seeing that more territory was indispensable to the welfare of the republic. Up to 1803 our western boundary line was the Mississippi river. West of the Mississippi lay that immense territory known as the province of Louisiana. It was of vital importance to the western states that they should have an open passage to the Gulf of Mexico for their products. The Spanish Governor at Orleans denied them even the right of deposit at that city. This act of injustice so roused the indignation of the western states that they threat- ened to take the city by force, and, if necessary, sweep the Spaniards into the sea. 5 . ! 5 5 Y A I 1 k h a l o m N 1: f V 1 I Y 1 A later, and the probabilities are that it was attended with much less loss of life, and infinitely less expenditure of money, than it would have been had it occurred later. Our next acquisition was the immense territory of Alaska, purchased from Russia in 1867. At that time, and for several years afterward, this purchase was considered by a large pro- portion of our citizens a most senseless and unwarranted transaction. It has since been understood, however, that in this purchase the United States was simply paying a debt of honor to the Russian government. Probably neither government, at the time of purchase, believed that the territory had any real value. But this belief has been materially changed, at least so far as this country is concerned, by the fact that the revenues received by the United States, from the sealing and other industries of this territory, have far exceeded the original purchase price, and recent explorations have developed the fact that not only is it not an arid and inaccessible tract of land, but that it possesses wonderful natural resources and wealth. All the different acquisitions of territory up to the present time, as I think all will admit, have proven the wise statesmanship of their promoters, and contributed to the welfare of the republic. In the case of Louisiana there existed an immediate necessity. The annexation of Florida, Texas and Alaska, although they could not be deemed immediate necessities, at the same time have been necessary to the ultimate success of the country, as has been shown. But is annexation a thing of the past? Is there no other territory, the acquisition of which would be a benefit to this country as well as to such territory? For years it has been evident to the progressive and thinking minds, both of this country and Canada, that the annexation of the latter country could not fail to be of great benefit to all concerned. The annexation of Canada to the United States has its warm and earnest advocates in both countries. It is hard to say which country would -reap the most benefit from such a union. Vexatious Hshery, boundary, extradition and revenue questions would be settled forever. The standing menace of a bitter and life-long enemy at our very gates would be entirely removed. The havens of refuge for criminals and fugitives from justice in both countries would be forever closed. By the annexation of Canada this country would gain a territory of This great republic does not want the world, should not and probably never will have the world, but there is one more small spot on God's foot-stool' that, for its size, is of more im- portance to this country, than would be Great Britainis Australian provinces. Out in the Pacific ocean, twenty-one hundred miles in a southwesterly direction from San Francisco, lie the'Hawaiian Islands, at which it is necessary for nearly every ship employed in commerce between the Pacific seaports of North America and the Pacific ports of As.ia,and Australia, to stop in its passage. Honolulu has rightly been called the Cross-Road of the Pacific. Its value as a naval station for the United States could hardly be overestimated. Its position is most favorable for the intersecting point of telegraphic cables across the Pacific. It is by its location alone, the coaling point, not only for Pacific steamers, butfor every ship of the Atlantic cross- ing the.PaciHc for Asia, it is the only cross-road of the north Pacific, and the north Pacific is and will be the chief region of commerce. When the enormous traffic from Atlantic to Pacific ports which awaits the cutting of the Nicaragua canal, shall burst in an impetuous tide through that isthmus, Honolulu, situated in a direct route of one part of that traffic, will become of an importance second to no port in the world. A These Islands have recently been offered to the United States under circumstances with which all are familiar. Their acquisition is of as much a public necessity to this country at the present time as was the acquisition of Texas in 1848, or Alaska twenty years later. Fifty years ago the American policy required that war with France should be risked in order to prevent French occupation of these islands. In 1876,.the Ameri- can policy required the treaty of reciprocity to secure and protect the political interests of the United States at these islands. In 1882 the suggestion of an attempted British predominance brought forth emphatic utterances from the United States foreign oflice, and in 1893 that same policy should have forever settled every foreign complication which might arise, in respect to these islands by annexation. VVe certainlycannot afford to let the control over them pass into hands other than our own, and in the language of Gen. Schofield in 1875, f?VVe cannot refuse these islands the little aid they need, and at the same time' deny their right to seek it elsewhere? - European powers on the slightest pretext are seizing islands all over the Pacific, whenever and wherever such pretext can be found. The Hawaiian islands will, in a short time, neces- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i I I I I I an., Titoryn ance 3 my gmeeai : at deal Ea cation. 1 ly. andri :embers art of my st parse? fzhemde: E that 1 A1 1 v., au me Etatisticiaws H5396 HABIIUAL EXPRESSION.

The following officers were elected: President, Otis Cole, Vice-President, John Hoag, Treasurer Bret Nottingham, Secre- tary, E.'Dwigl1t Sanderson. The following executive committee was then appointed, com- prising a member from each grade and a general representative of the High School: Jay Skinner, Ninth Grade, C. C. Collins, Tenth Grade, Henry Weigman, Eleventh Grade, C. CC. Mishler, Twelfth Grade, Frank Presley, General Representative. At the first meeting of the Executive Committee, it was decided to invite the Battle Creek High School to participate in a joint Field Day, and to that end the secretary was in- structed to correspond with their president. The invitation was accepted, and no expense or labor was spared by the Lansing High School in making preparations for the proposed contest. lt was a success even beyond the hopes of its promoters, as is now well known to all. The weather was perfect, and insured a large attendance, especially in the afternoon when it was estimated at over twothousand people. The total receipts were over 3275, which after deducting expenses left nearly Szoo to divide between the two schools. The contest'began at 9:30 A.

PORTER 311 flD6lTlOl'iHm LORENCE, with her abounding enthusiastic young life, passed out from among us so quietly and suddenly that we find it difficult to realize even yet that she is really gone. So strong is the impression left by her personality, her eager interest and quick sympathy, that we can think of her in no other way than as alive through and through in mind, heart and soul, as we have no doubt she is, and in a larger, freer sense than eye hath seen, or ear heard, or it hath entered into the heart of man to conceivel' All her relations and work in life were characterized by keen, eager life and interest. In her schoolwork she was enthusiastic and faithful, having an appreciation and insight that were often surprising, in her church and Christian Endeavor work she was earnest, and, most beau- tiful of all, her home life was unselfish and kind. -s ' Her favorite poem was Longfellow's tt-Resignation which contains this stanza: 4' There is no Death! XVhat seems so is transition, ' This life of mortal breath A V Q Is but a suburb of the life elysian, V VVhose portal We call Death? , Having now in the springtime of her bright young life, and the springtime of the year, within a, few days of the time of her graduation, passed through this portal, out into the freer, larger, gladder 'tlife elysiani' with all her hope, her enthusiasm, her eagerness to knowuthe truth, her love of music and her appreciation for the beautiful, who shall say where the devel- opment and growth, so well begun here, shall end? While still keenly feeling, the grief of parting, we- may look reverently forward to a time when 4' Clothed with celestial grace, and beautiful with all the soulls expansion, we shall behold her face.'7 U The light of her young life went down, 'fThere seems a shadow on the day As sinks behind the hill ' Her smile no longer cheers: . The glory of the setting star- A dimness on the stars of night, Clear, suddenly and still. Like eyes that look through tears.

Its object in doing so was not merely to do something new, although it was not insensible to the pleasure of doing some new thing. But there seemed to be a need for class day in our com- C mencement arrangements. There are certain facts concerning the inner history and life of any class which are of great interest to the class and their immediate friends, but which are uninteresting to the General public. So that these strictly class exercises might be heard by C D all who would desire to do so, and still be limited to an audience that would know enough about the class to be interested by them, the class day program was prepared and the plan of issuing invitations to the friends of the class was adopted. It was part of the original intention of the class day to have some part of the program of that evening a farce, based upon school experiences, which would be prepared and given by the class but the pressure of other work made it imperative to omit this phase of the program. 7 In order that this day might be thoroughly a 4' class day, it was decided to follow these exercises by a class banquet, at which wit and wine figuratively speakingj might flow unchecked by the clock or any thought of care. h lift th fjune and the Baptist church.

APE wish to say to the public in general, and particularlylto those of the class who are victims of some joke or roast, that We have tried to be impartial, to treat all alike, and to deal gently. Indeed in some cases where the exigencies of the occasion have demanded the sacrifice, the 4fBoardl' with great magnanimity have foregone the pleasure of offering to the public some excellent jokes: For instance, We had a great roast on M. B. R. but, upon her earnest solicitation We consented to withhold it from publication, there Were several other similar cases. V If, however, in spite of our clemency and fairnessii you should see any one With a fiendish look on hisface, blood in his eye, and razor-toed teeth roaming the streets with a shotgun in one hand, a club in the other, two revolvers and a hatchet in his belt, with a bowie knife in his boot and a dynamite bomb in his pocket, and uttering, now and then, a terrible war-whoop, don't call the police and have him run in, for he is not a'maniac, although he may be a mad man, He is simply some one Who can't appreciate a joke, Who is seeking a personal interview with the editor4in-chief or some of the lesser lights of the ORACLE Board. But he is harmless, as We intend to lie low a Week or so after publication Where creditors and assassins canlt find. us out. lfeEDITOR7S NOTE.-The Words 'four fairness refer to the girls on the ORACLE Boardj I -- .END Sumerix, Ruth Sanderson, Dwight Trostel, Martha Terwilleger, Harry Thorne, Nellie Turner, Wesley Toolan, Mary - Wilcox, Roy.
