Lansing Central High School - Oracle Yearbook (Lansing, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 170 of the 1896 volume:

The pupils entering the Freslnnfn year of the Lansing High School experience no great cliunge from thut of the grades. as they still occupy at room by themselves, and do not come in contact Very much with the rest of the lligh School. But when they uscend another flight of stairs to cuter the Sophomore yeur you will notice u decided difference. If one of these notable personuge is at boy. now il young matn properly speaking. he innnedizitely repairs to it tuilor shop. where his knee trousers ure exehunged for il pztir of longer cut. He now lets his hair grow long and parts it. in the middle. Ile thinks himself at person of eonsideruble importunee as you will notice by his uir if you chance to meet him on the street. It is during this yeur that class enthusiasm is at its height and class colors ztre seen flying. You will oecaisionzilly see notices of this nature written on the black-board: L' There will be at meeting of the -qfQI1l0ilZt'l't' clnss utter school. Claire Cliristoplier. Pres. It wus in one of these meetings that the president in his uddress wurned his class to have nothing to do with the Seniors. as they were ipinrrelsome people. There has been some dispute ubout the number of this class, :Ls Stanley Montgoinery is claimed by both .luniors und Soplns. This class has the honor of having the greatest number of athletes of any eluss in the High School, und one of their number won the ull-uround diumond medul at Jan-ltson in '95, und ut Lunsing this yeur. The experiences of this yeur ure inuny. They wude through the pages of Vziesur and learn that Julius utter conquering the Guuls crossed the Rubicon. The surroundings of the Sophomores hus at great elfect on their beuring. thrown into the same atmosphere with the haughty Juniors they forget demeanor. und become verv free in their actions about the assembly room until they are suddenly restrained by the not- able personuige of the preceptor, who reminds them of u term used in E75 physics. as yet unheard of by the Sophomores. namely, that two por- tions nf matter can not occupy the same space at the same time. Sometimes. however, the experiences of the Sophomores are very sad, and before the year has pnsseil class colors are lowered and class patriotism becomes dull. They Come to realize that they are only in the second year of the High School. and still lack two years ot' being Seniors. U!! Snphumurrs.

Hail it been possible to photograph, by means of the X-rays, the thoughts of the one hundred forty-nine students who, ou the morning of September third, eighteen hundred ninety-live, filed into the spacious assembly room which, upon '95's entrance into the High School, was set apart for that wortliy class until she should have 103 ample time to retlect upon her misdeeds and mend her ways, and which, on account of the crowded condition of the 4' atticll has since been devoted solely to the use of succeeding Freshmen, a highly amusing and interesting result would have been obtained. Pride, in the thought that, at last. they had surmounted all diffi- culties such as passing the necessary examinations, etc.. etc., and had entered upon their lligh School course, would have been the principal thing revealed by the plate in many cases, while in others there would have been an inexpressible dread of those Sophomores who are, if an arithmetical proposition is allowable, the High School minus the Freshmen, minus the Seniors, minus the Juniors. In still other cases there would have been reproduced, upon the plate, dire misgivings concerning those inevitable examinations, for why should not innocent Freshmen suppose that such things as 'fpoizz'vs would be an utter impossibility in examinations presided over by sharp-eyed lfigh School teachers. The heart-aches caused by this last morbid fancy could. however, have been avoided had they only consulted the Sopohmores, or, better still, the Juniors who, on account of their greater amount of experi- ence, could have given them several very useful hints as to the proper care of these ponies, especially at such times as when a certain sharp-eyed teacher-he who presides over the Hattie -should be present. To have consulted the Seniors would have been worse than useless for they never used them. lVhy should they when they always had their lessons so they could recite them backwards if necessary ? After two or three weeks, however. the Freshmen found out several things, not the least of these being that their previous ideas concerning the impossibility of ponies were entirely at fault. This mistake they rectified quickly while some of the others they did not. They soon discovered that their superior t?i ability was not recog- nized, that the Sophoinores looked down upon them and called them Freshies, ncitwithstanding the fact that they themselves had under- gone the same humiliations only the year before: the Juniors simply llll , ignored them, while those august personages, the Seniors, seemed unaware of their existence until it suddenly occurred to the ORACLE Board that it would be an exceedingly wise plan to persuade the Freshmen to have printed, in the ORACLE, at their own expense, of course, a cut of their class officers whom they had elected only a few months before and of whom they were justly proud. Owing to the efforts of the worthy business manager and the sus- ceptibility of Freshmen to tlattery, this plan succeeded and, as a result, this department of the fJRACLl-I was made much more attractive QQ and the Board became reasonably sure of selling at least jbur CJRACLES to the Freshmen. Of course, under these circumstances, the Seniors could well afford to be very gracious toward the ambitious Class of 'SW and the spirits of the latter rose accordingly for, at last, the value of their beauty if not of their true worth had been recognized and-by the Seniors. Under their patronage, the Freshmen daily waxed more bold and confident of their own superior ability, and many a time were the worthy Seniors sorely tempted to treat them somewhat coolly and, moreover, would have yielded to the temptation had it not been for the haunting fear that, did they do so, those highly indignant young people, without waiting to consider the justice of their treatment, would immediately announce the contract, between themselves and the ClRACLE Board, Q' null and void. Freshmen are so jfclrle. Accordingly, the Seniors suffered patiently and said nothing. There was no alternative. N ow, however. the cut is printed and paid for, those egotistical Freshmen have become still more egotistical Sophomores and the Seniors are Seniors no longer, but before '96 yields her place to her successors, she would like to give to the Class of 799, a few words of friendly advice which she hopes they will receive kindly, although it must be admitted that her advice has been bestowed a little freely, although with the best intentions upon this unappreciative class during the past year. It is this she would say: ft O class of 799 you are now entering upon the second year of your sojourn in these halls of learning. You 1115 are Freshmen no longer. but Sophomores. and we, the Class of '96. sadder and Wiser than we were four years ago-such is the inevitable fate of the graduates of the Lansing High School-would thus advise you: Be charitable, i. e., put your hands in your pockets and delight the heart of Miss Young by purchasing a picture or two to adorn the somewhat bare walls of the Senior room, be modest and unassuming, and. above all. do not ill-use the Freshmen and make them miserable by ridiculing them, but remember that you. yourselves, were once in their place, and no mutter how green they may appear, they can be no worse than were youf, HIS Georgia Avery Fred Algate Clara Armstrong George Banghart Herbert Barringer James Brisbin Nora Baird Rolland Baker Grace Boam Nathan Born Franc Bennett Constance Bement, Caddie Brucker Mollie Butts Harriett Buck Lina Barnes Addie Barnes Dan Brown Edith B1'own Julius Bauingras Leonard Banghart Caroline Bray Henry Baker A.

To those who graduate from the Lansing Iligh Skule I would offer a word of advice. In the lirst place you are to well edicated to saw wood or pedal tin-wire, but if you are bound to pedal begin on sunthin easy like seven dollar bibles and never try patent medesin unless you can read human natur. I my self have bin in the patent medesin business nearly li munths and have had a variety of ex-periences, hoping many who imbark in the business may proiit by what I have to say I will re-pete my ex- periences in story form. TVe only had in 20 akers of corn and 12 akers of potatoes so as there wasnit enough hoein to keep me busy looked around and ubtained an agency for Montgomeryds Great St-ummick and Liver Ilenovator, composed of roots, hurbs, caster ile, rubarb, poty-folin, and other such mild lacksitives, very pleasin to the taste and agreein with the most delikut systim. I got a good supply of this medisin and after killin off as many ol' my poor relashun as Idared without exsiten publick suspicion, de- cided to vacate the premises. I had jest ten shillin in my pokit-buk and that being the exact fare to Lansin, konkluded to make that my next terrotory. I got on the kars and sot down by a feller who wore a prince- alburt koat and a white nekty and I knew in a miuit he was ingaged in some kind of church work, so I asked him if he had a cerkit. He said he was aholdin revival meetins and was up so much nights and had so much responsibility that he was just about played out. It seems he had jest ben down to Lansing for he sez to me sez he, 109 'C the sinners do be orful this year, last night 23 Went forward and T23 went backward, and he groaned in spirit. IVell sez I you need sunthin to brace you up, and I have the thing, it is composed of roots, hurbs and pure malt licker. IVhen I sez lieker I noticed a slight elevation of his right ear, so I knew I was on the right track. Sez he, air you sure that there licker is pure? Yes, sez I, war- ranted to make a man so in 10 minutes he can't see the holes in a ladder. 't Gimme 12 bottles, sez he, which I did and done them up on the spot in one of Georgie Fields' Iligh Skul Observers. I after ward learned the poor feller died, but I was to busy a visitin, the sick and aiilicted to inquire of the undertaker whether it was the rubarb or what the medesin was done up in that killed him off. IVhen I got off at North Lansing a draymun, who had part af the sermun on the mount printed on one side of his wagun and 't In God we trust all others pay as you go H on the other, hollered for me to get out of the road as his horse was fond of grass. After I had counted all the ribs in his old horse except 2 iloatin' ribs on the off side, I jest kum to the natural konklusion that his appetite did tend that way and hustled acordingly. The first house I stopped at the woman throwed 2 sticks of cord wood and the stove iron at me jest because I kicked her dog olf of the frunt stoop. NVhen I tried to rcmonstrate with her and sell her a little renovater to kam her nerves. for every time she throwed high and to the right, she told me if I stopped to arger she'd have the depity-konstnbble lock me up three hours in the ladies waiting room at the North Lansing depo. It is simply surprisin' how fast a man kin move in an enierguncqv. Then l tried a barber shop for I sec a bald heded man in there readin' a paper. I walked in. Sez I to him, sez I. Hdon't the flies trubble you orful in the summer time? Ile never said a word but ketched two on his hed that were lightinl over a bred crumb and pulled their laigs off. Then I told him I had an article that would make his hair so long 110 in 3 weeks-or longer, he would look like Paddyuisky. Ile bought 6 bottles and poured 2 of them on his head to unct. Xow there must have bin sunthin in that medesin which smarted for he reared and charged, and took on terrible. I had business down the street allto unct, but the last I see of him he was bootin every body within reach and a sharpenin razors on the stove pipe. It was so near 12 olclock decided to postpone business and get 1ny dinner, so I went in to Ii. I3. Shank tk Cofs and bought 2 doz. of them non-eombustable buns. but after I had scraped the rust off a couple desided I wasnlt hungry a bit. However, I took them buns home jest the same. white washed them and put the hull 2 dozen around a posy bed in our frunt- yard. As I continued my way down the street I met the Orakul bord a airin of them selves. I got right off the side walk and raised my hat but they were a feelin to proud to speak and only reviled me and kicked slivers in my eyes. The next house I stopped at I see a girl reklinin on pillows with her hed tied up in a sling. Sez I to her mother. after I had tirst in- serted my satchel between the door and then squeezed through myself. sez I. Madum I perceave by cirkurnstances your darter has some ailment, and is about the billyustist lookin critter I ever sot my eyes on ', Yesf, sez she, I am afraid my girl studies to hard. this is her first year in the high schoolf' and she fondly smiled on a latin gram- mer and a algerber a layin on the table. Yes, sez I, I infer from what you have said that your darter is a freshmun. She donlt sleep nights. she is to orful smart to sleep nights. and she has week laigs. that's because of her great heft of inteleekf, Now madum I have a remedy- but the womun wouldn't listen at all and before you could say 4' Guvernur Ric-hls guvernment galluses ll she had chased me acrost 7 vacant lots ketched me by the kollar, and had 2 panels of bob-wire fence knocked down with me. Finally she yanked me around jest a little more, booted me about Q furlongs farther and left me in piece. in Then I riz up and give thanks that I wasn't killed, and hoped all her family would have sleepless nights and week laigs all the rest of their lives, but I knew by the feelin's in my bones that I was a goin' to have a fit of sickness but whether it was spinal complaint or jest commun dumb ager I was undisided. Any how I kum to the konklusion that that fresh 1nun's mother must have bin one of them ere new women you read about but I was to busy at the time to notice whether she had her blumers tucked in her boots or not. IVhen I felt able I went further down the street till I seea long haired feller workin' in a gardin. I found out on conversin' with him that he was president or sunthin' on the Urakull bord. and that he was either a goin' to start a tannery or plant all his gardin to 15 cent potatoes and cheap tobacco after he had graduated. Sez he to me what would you do? IVl1'V, sez I, put her into potatoes, I have an artikle best on earth to kill off potato bugs. Well. sez he, I guess I'll plant potatoes, so I traded Q bottles of my renovator for 2 copies of H Twelve Buckets of Blood, a new poem of his. I learned afterward he never raised nothin' on that gardin for I years after he used the renovator, but it wasn't the renovator, it was jest because he didn't half hoe it. On my way to North Lansing, say that's certainly the meanest place this side the equator, a feller commenced to grin and asked me ifI wasn't the only senator ever elected by the prohibitionists. UNO, sez I, I am the tale-end of the lost tribe of Israel come in to pay my dog tax and be you the kollecter'? No, sez he, 'E I am only jest a member of the skule bord please don't say nothin' about it, and he bought a bottle of renovator. Well this is the last of my experiences in Lansing and I wouldn't fetch another bottle of renovator there if the hull town was dyin' oil' with the mumps and measles. But in jestice to myself I will say that many well edicated people who have bought my renevator say I am a prevaricator now whether IIZI that means ll llCiLfl1Cll-ClllllGC or jest il Cfilllllllfjll tin-pedler I know notg but other people Call nie a liar tliv biggest Micliigain ever produced.

At one time astronomy and Zoology were also studied here, but lacking ap- purutus and lathoratory facilities for the study of these, they were discontinued amd more time put upon the lgvrunches tirst ennumerated. The uim in all these studies is not to get possession of il number of isolated facts but to understand the general laws and principles underlying science and connecting its parts. In physiology, for example, it is not considered Su very essential to know that the blood goes from the uuricles to the ventricles then to the lungs and other parts uf the body :md buck to the heart, but it is important to know what it circulates for. composition and force required to keep it in motion. A knowledge of these Points will bring out certain luws in physics, chemistry and botuny as well as :it certain fact in pliysiology. In at similar wary the understanding of 2ll1'YHll6 of the sciences requires more or less knowledge of the others und their relations are especially dwelt upon in teaching the Various kinds of science work. The work is Ili kind that should :ind usuull-V does interest the scholars, :ls shown by their eager questioning and unimuted discussion of the numerous interesting points brought up in the rurious classes. U5 Interest is still further stimulated by listening to reports of various scientitic articles and reviews of scientilic papers. Occasionally. too, talks are given by people interested in the schools on some topic. usually scientiiic, The Board of Education has always been very liberal in supplying our wants in chemistry, and since the course has been lengthened to a whole year's work it has become very complete and but little is needed in that direction. Hur facilities for doing general work in chemistry and analyzing are as good as those of any school in the State, and. in fact, that work is practically the same as the elementary work of the same kind at the State l'niversityg the chemical mixtures for analyti- cal work are obtained from the lf. of M. and the Juniors are usually very successful in their results. The aim in chemistry is to understand as far as possible the general laws underlying the subject and connecting it with its especially closely related subject, physics, and to understand the chemistry of common everyday phenomena and operations. The work in botany is much hindered by the lack of a suitable laboratory and apparatus. There should be a special room for that work with small tables and enough stand microscopes for each section: there should also be two or three good compound microscopes to use in carrying on the work to completion. The tittings and apparatus for line work in this subject would not be at all expensive and perhaps these are needed more than anything else in our science department at the present time. lt would also be an excellent plan to extend the course so as to include eight weeks' work in the fall term in order to study the composite flowers more fully and especially to carry on the work with fruits, which ordinarily do not ripen until after school closes in June. Although the city has been fairly liberal in furnishing our physical laboratory there are many things needed to make the work what it ought to be in that most important and interesting of all sciences. In the first place. the location of the room is not at all a desirable one. Being in the basement it is always more or less damp and this almost entirely prevents experimenting in static electricity: the appa- 116 rutus is also liable to rust and this not only prevents its working well but also is apt to spoil it. Besides, inuny experiments in light cannot be performed at all since the windows are :ill east, windows and good sunlight for experinientul purposes cnn only be obtained from the south. lf, however, the room wus suitable, and the school board continues its present policy of allowing u hundred dollars a year for new apparatus. we could soon have ai very fair laboratory: though physical apparatus is especially expensive :intl ri hunclretl ilollurs is u sniull suin, since many single pieces cost. more than that znnount. llut on the whole the work in science in our High School can he cairrietl on in ai very satisfactory manner und it compares well with the suine work in any High School in the State. Any one who has watched the work along that line for several years czin see ri giutltuil. stezuly progress in hoth niethods and uppzmitiisg und, since that is so, our High Scliool will ulwuys be in the front rank in science work.

For the past six years Miss Sloan has had charge of the English work. and during this time has zealously and conscientiously endeavored to point out to her pupils the vast wealth of enjoyment in the careful study of literature. Day after day she has aided them in interpreting and appreciating the beauty and strength in the produc- tions of the great minds of England and our own country. The success of her earliest elforts is apparent to all. Everyone who has been so fortunate as to study under her super- vision has gained a broader, purer and more optimistic view of life. The high rank which our English Department holds in comparison with other schools is largely due to her energetic and untiring lahor. Xot only as a teacher has Miss Sloan exerted an uplifting and strengthening inlluence. hut her noble. sincere nature and high. pure aims have been an inspiration to all who have been in any way asso- ciated with her. Although Miss Sloan has been teaching for eleven years. she has held but one position previous to the one held here. This was in Berea College, Kentucky, where she taught for live years. Now she leaves us to go to Hillsdale, her Alma Mater. where she has accepted the position of lady principal and teacher of English. 121 i5Ul1l'Ll uf flillfiltililll. B. E. B.II.1.ARD F. B. Jonxsox A.

THE LANSING SCIENCE CLUB. The Lansing Science Club is one of the many clubs of the city devoted to study, and although it is not a High School organization, yet the most of its members are either graduates or members of the school, and it should therefore he mentioned in the Unsutiz. Its membership is not large, yet it has what is worth still more, and that is. members who are interested in the study of science. and who attend the meetings for the benefit that is received from the dis- cussions. In January the following officers were elected for 18943: President, C. C. Collins, Vice-President, XV. S. Foster, Secretary, H. L. Lewis, Treasurer. E. D. Gibbs. On April 14th the second annual banquet, given by the oflicers of the club, was held at the residence of llon. Seymour Foster. 313 Chestnut street north. A most enjoyable evening was passed. Mr. Collins acted as toastmaster. The following toasts were responded to: 'tThe Lansing Scientific Association. Judge Cahillg The North Pole, ll. A. Seeley, 't X-Rays, A. F.

The program also contains several debates: papers on different sub- jects, and inen of science, and lectures by Mr. Schneider of the 11:6 Tlnited States weather bureau, Dr. Miles. and Prof. Hoyt, which gentlemen are authorities along their line of subjects. T The meetings are held every Tuesday evening in the room of the club over the library in the High School building. The object is the study of general science with all of the up-to- date improvements. The meetings are well attended and are very interesting. and the benefit received from the discussions can hardly be estimated. Clubs like these are the starting points of men of science. and we sincerely hope that this club will flourish and go on in its good work. THE STUDENTS' CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. President, Avsrix Briznicx. Vice-President. Miss ATKINS. Secretary and Treasurer, LoTT1E SMITH. Every student of every High School has naturally a very busy life and each spare minute is occupied by some special work or other, yet in spite of all this time is found in our High School, once a week, for a half honr's communion with God and study of his word. On TVednesday, at the close of the afternoon session, the members meet in the ninth grade assembly room. Xot only have the members secured the assistance of teachers of the High School, but they have also secured that of several of the clergymen of the city. and have received most beneficial advice and counsel from them. Any one who has attended these meetings can- not but testify to the inspiration it has given them. and that its influ- ence is felt throughout the school. The members of the High School. we hope. will continue to give it their most hearty sympathy and co-operation, and help on the good work. As each succeeding year the new class enters the school. and as these classes are growing larger. they can be the medium through which each member of the school may become acquainted with the others and the work before them, and with the one Great Teacher. who will 137 :J DJ: Ill!! draw them into a closer friendship and prepare them for the duties of this life and of that which is to come, SENIOR LITERARY SOCIETY. Une of the pleasantest features of the Senior year is the series of meetings held by the Senior Literary Society. These meetings are held at the homes of members of the class, and occur, as a rule, every three weeks. The forepart of each evening is devoted to the study of the life and works of some noted author, and the latter to social enjoyment. January 10th, the Literary Society gave a Hard Times Masquer- ade, which was a very enjoyable affair. Miss Pearl Howe, whose costume was the most suggestive of hard times, being awarded the first prize, a check on the Central Michigan Savings Bank. During the sleighing season, one of the meetings was held in the country, at the home of Arthur Dail, and, in spite of the bitter cold wind which would penetrate the robes now and then, all reported a delightful time. The Literary held April 10th, at the home of Lena Bailey, will long be remembered because of a departure from the usual literary program: The Xew lVoman, a humorous farce, being presented by eight of the Senior girls. During the past year, the society has met eleven times, each meeting being well attended. The authors studied are the following: Dante, Voltaire, Ingersoll, Goethe, Schiller, Frank R. Stockton, Corneille, Savonarola, Alexander Dumas, Victor Hugo, H. H. Boye- sen, Lord Lytton, Owen Meredith, Mrs. lvard. RECEPTIONS. Among the many events that occurred during the school year, the receptions were the most enjoyable. On Friday evening, September 20, a reception to Principal Smith and Miss Elmer was given by the Seniors at the residence of Mr. G. NV. Bement. Besides a large iss number of students several members of the School Board were present and a very pleasant evening was spent. The following program was rendered : Piano Solo. - - - Miss Baoxsox Select Reading, Miss SLOAN Recitation. FORD PIAT1' Vocal Solo, - - - - lNI.u'n Lsaosiz The annual reception of the Students' Christian Association to the ninth grade was given at the residence of Mr. C. A. Gower. In spite of the inclement weather quite a large number were present. The greater part of the evening was spent in getting acquainted with the large Freshmen class, and in making them feel that they were cordially welcome as a part of our number. The program was as follows: Piano Solo - - GRACE DYNNEB.-XCR Recitation - BTARK Lcnwicn VOCAL Soto - . - LESLIE Maxxn Among the many pleasant social events of the school year. per- haps the one which will be longest remembered was the reception given by the girls of the L. H. S. to the young men in ho11or of their Held day. Those who know the armory in its usual state alone can realize the amount of work it required to transform it into the charming bower in which the young ladies received their guests, who openly admitted themselves victims of that purely feminine trait-curiosity. The only unpleasant feature of the affair was the 'z'e2'ySZ1igzfIm' conduct of the teachers, from whom the girls had been given every reason to expect hearty co-operation. The mothers of a number of the young ladies kindly acted as chaperons. and to their genial presence not a little of the evening's success was due. The last reception of the year. given by the Junior class, was held at the residence of Mr. G. W. Freeman, Friday evening. June 12, in honor of Supt. and Mrs. C. O. Hoyt, Miss Sloan and Miss Elmer. Mr. W. H. Turnbullg a former principal of the High School, was present. The Board of Education and the entire High School were invited. It was largely attended and a pleasant time reported. 139 ldws 1 Ln put fnsi- .4 ,alf 4' ,,,. 'f Je- W5 ,uf- , -. ' V i-::. X k 42 1 .

An atliletic association is a comparatively new thing in our school, as it was but three years ago that our High School was for the lirst time represented as a school in a field day, which was a dual affair. with Battle Creek. and at which time Lansing lirst won her fine reputa- tion in athletics. Last year we kept up this reputation by winning the all-around diamond medal and scoring the greatest number of points at the tirst annual lield day of the Michigan High School Ath- letic Association, of which association the Capital City boys enjoy the honor of being the founders. Who are. who are, who are we? XVe are, we are, we are the lj-E-O-P-L-E 3 L-A--Nfsfisx-c I As our local association was badly in need of funds, an entertain- ment was given for its benefit at the Star Theatre, January 31, which replenished the treasury to the surprising amount of fifty cents. How- ever, the Class of '96 showed its generosity by presenting the association with 510, and the Juniors, not to he outdone by their elders, gave the boys a check for S15 on the 597 treasury. But to cap the climax the girls fthree cheers for the girlsm turned over for the beneit of athletics over S15 which they had cleared from the most pleasant event of the entire school year-the reception and dance by them at the Armory for the boys. in ' x-'29 Q5 TRACK TEAM. YVe are the people who make things ring! L-a-n-s-i-n-g Y Lans-ing ! For the Iirst time in several years we have been without a school foot-ball team, and, instead, have paid more attention to the base- ball team which, although not able to win the cup, is the best for its weight in the State. Local iield day was held May 17, at which time those to represent L. H. S., May QUHZBU, were selected. The second annual field day of the M. H. S. A. A. was to occur in this city on the date just mentioned, but after having the indoor sports and a few of the track events. the program, on account of the weather, was postponed till June 6. Certainly the most enjoyable event in connection with field day was the ball at the Armory, given by the young ladies of the L. ll. S. after the indoor events, to the members ot the various schools which belong to the M. H. A. A. Everybody reported the best kind of a time and the boys knew of no appropriate way to express their gratitude. Our track team was this year for the first time under the super- vision of an able athlete, Gail Chapman, L. H. S. '92, Special credit is due our all-around men. Christopher and Tompkins, the former of whom both last year and this won the all-around medal and broke the inter-collegiate record for running broad jump. DIRECTORS L. H. S. A. A.

LAST Eoirlox. A Poem of Spring Sprung. The moon came up-the puppies howled, The stars shone in the sky. And lovers strolled to restaurants To lunch on midnight pie. The evening walks, with star-lit skies Made nights like nightmare seem. For school boys' serenades disturbed Full many a dam sell's dream. Sweet eherubs jumped o'er fences high And tore their gingham shirts. For sake of water me-lons ripe. XVliicli farmers' feelings hurt. Uh. Spring. sweet Spring, ye time of love. Ye hot and dainty Spring. I ever more will raise my voice And help the Toni-cats sing. Alfonso's Lost Love. HY Ill-INllIE'1Tl-I V. BET. Alfonso stood beneath the win- dow. The strains of lnelody from his guitar lloated through the air. Miranda appeared at an upper win- dow: her eyes shone brightly. but the curling papers on her hair de- stroyed the effect of beauty to the common observer. but Alfonso was in love, and love is blind. What happiness seemed his, what divine bliss, as he beheld the form his eyes longed to see standing in an upper window with the moonlight shining upon her. Uh, Miranda, Miranda Y he cried, 'fl am here to save you: the horses are standing ready and all you will have to do is to put on your blooniers and sweater and then away, my love, from the scene of oppression and tilial dis1'egard. Fly with HIC, ily with me oh my- but the passionate utterance was drowned by the soft voice of a neighboring donkey. Miranda presently made her ap- pearance at the same window, much to Alfonso's dismay and told him that the house was locked and she could not tind the key. Alfonso immediately thought of a scheme. A cherry tree stood close by the window. She could easily reach it with the aid of love. Miranda. bold as Psyche, made the attempt and succeeded beautifully. She reached the tree but alas, her sweater caught on a protruding branch and poor Miranda swung helplessly between sky and earth. and a St. Louis tornado couldn't have blown her away. Miranda, overcome by fear and forgetful of love and Alfonso, let forth a few shricks that raised all the dogs and men in the neighbor' hood. Poor Alfonso, driven by des- pair and a bull-dog. hastened from the scene, broken in spirit and torn in clothes. Miranda was rescued by one of the farm hands, whom she afterwards married through gratitude for saving her life. fxor 'ro ist: fyoNT1xL'iso.j I THE IIIGH SCHOOL OBSERVER. News Items.

A Junior Love Poem. fF'rom the Germm1d.J When night rides high, and shadows ily, And all the world is still, A maiden fair, with golden hair, Oft wanders o'er the hill. One summer night, when stars shone bright. And moonlight gloated o'er, That maiden fair, with golden hair, XVent strolling by the door. The wind blew round, its magic sound Made every leaflet sigh. But over there all, unaware That maiden seemed to Hy. But to her side, I then did glide, And sweetly called her name. And then she smiled, my heart begnilgd Beat ne'e1'aga.in the same. And then I found, the way around Her lithe and slender waist, And as she sighed, I closely eyed To see if 'twere misplaced. But ne'er a frown, her eyes of brown Daneed merrily with glee: And heavenly bliss! I stole a kiss That seemed just made for me. And 'neath the moon, in lovely June, NVhen wandering o'er the hill, That maiden fair, with golden hair, Is ever by me still.

The iirst ORACLE was issued by the Class of '92. The undertak- ing was a somewhat. venturesome one. but it proved a success and a neat little volume was the result g which not only amply repaid the efforts spent upon it. but also gave an inspiration and model for future classes. The board consisted of six members appointed by the class. and were as follows: Howard llement, editorg G. Edd. Foerster, Jennie Kelso and Mary Pugh. assistants: V. S. Jones, business man- ager. and G. ll. Richmond. reporter '03, Six hundred were printed and were sold at ten cents per copy. The success attained by the Class of '92 decided the Vlass of 'US in regard tu whether they should also have an ORACLE. The members of this board were: Robert Y. Larned, editor-in-chiefg Oceana Ferrey. assistant: Edwin J. llenicnt. business managerg Ivaleta lloiee. NVm. ll. llornberger. and Jessie Ballard, statf. This edition contained a few cuts. the class poem. the oration. prophecy. etc. There were eight hundred copies. which sold at the same price as those of the previous year. The next class had no fears of their success and spent more money in drawings. thus making the U1:Aer.ic more attractive. The board consisted of Harley H. Xewinan. editor-inrchiefg Florence Porter, assistant editor: John XV, lloag. business managerg Hina F. Voolc. Hrace ll. llagadorn. Mary Z. llumphrey. Harry L. Lewis. and Henry E. llallard as the staff. Eight hundred were printed and sold at ten cents per copy. The 'tl-1 lilIIACl.l'I is one of which the class may well be proud.

The Queens for '96, which we new plztce before the public, is, we think, the finest ever published in the city. The new style of cover, the line puper, :tnml the nmuy engravings nialce it fur more attractive than its predecessors. The literatry merit we leave to the 'judgment of the rezuler, but even in this we dare to hope that the public will not be mlisappointeael. Each iYilI.Xl'I.E has surpassed the one of the year before, mul doubtless those in years to come will go ftlieaul of this of 'wig but we have striven to put out at volume that future years will linel hnrml to surpass. ,pl 'f'l'he Hhserver, the semi-inontlnly pulnlieution of some of the Junior boys, has znlppeztreil upon the journu.listie field in the High School, zuul has inet with u well deserved success. lVe hope that in the your to come the Junior Vluss will tztlie it upon their shoulders to get out The Observer us it Vlznss organ, while the Seniors pub- Iish the 4 ,l!.XCI,lC.u .pl This yeztr the U1:ixor.R lloaml ilecillecl to give :L prize of Five flollztrs for at short story written hy some ineniher of the school. By the Hrst of Nam-h eight stories were received by us mul suhinittefl to compe- tent jmulges. Hwing to the nature of the publication none of the stories were fleenieil suitable, and all were rejectefl. XVe wish to thank Mrs. Iiztrtheloniew, Mrs. Howell, Mrs. Spencer, :mil Mr. Vhester Wood, who so kinilliv assisted us by acting as judges 18 of the stories. lVe also thank the reporters who so faithfully worked for the success of the publication. .JZ The literary value of the Onscrs is e'reatl'x' increased by the assistance of Miss llattie lleynold of Vliicago, formerly of Lansing, and of Mr. Earle Pittg doubtless the work of 4' Reuben Green will be recognized. Mr. Everett very kindly wrote the article on Science in the Lansing lligh School. which every person interested along a scientific line will lind of interest. The Vlass Song' that appears in the ilIZACl.E is the work of members of the Vlass of WMS, The music, written by Miss Maude liarose, inueh to our regret cannot appear in this publication. The words are the work of Mr. Thomas Marshall. The artistic pen and ink drawings in the 1 iirixomz are the work of Miss Lu. llaker. The work speaks for itself and the many designs show how faithfull-V the artist worked. J The Vlass oi' 'SHE has most liberally supported the Hn.xe1.ic, both linaneiall-V and by their earnest eo-operation. and we hope in years to come the Seniors will follow their example. lf the illlAUl.li is put on a strong linancial basis from the beginning, many difficulties will easily he overcome, and a better publication can he brought out. it is a class alfair and should always receive the assistance of the entire elass in every way possible. and then the success of the publication is assured. .95 Mr. lloyt, who has so well lilled the ollice ol' superintendn-nt ol the Public Schools lor the past three 'rears is about to leave us to assume the responsibilities of his new position at the State Normal. and before he goes we wish to express ou r lxeart-V appreciation of his work in the public schools. Mr. lloyt, Mr. Smith, and the teachers of the lligh School have combined to heartily support the Himemz board and we thank them for their many courtesies. 151 Prof. Luircl, superintendent of the 'lbowagiae Schools, has been chosen by the llonul of litlueation to fill Mr. lloyt's place. Prof. l,ziir1l has niet with flattering success in his past school work. and we trust thzit, his future will he equally brilliant. J' The course of lectures on Psyeliology that Mr. Iloyti kindly gave the Seniors wus well uttemleil and the entertaining speaker aroused a dem-icleil interest in flint hrzineli of work.

The .r- ...ff real satisfaction is in doing active. earnest workg and. when it is over. the consciousness that it is done. This, in a measure may account for our uncertain attitude toward commencement. lVhere one would naturally expect to see joyous exultation and happiness unrestrained on the eve ot our graduation, there is undoubtedly a trace of sadness in our inmost consciousness which, in the excitment of the time, does not show in the outward appearance. Hur greatest pleasure has heen in working for and deserving the diplomas which we receive on commencement night. What satisfaction would it he to have them presented to us, il' we had not earned them? So the lllass of 'SNS has inculcated this principle of work in its class motto by adopting as its guide Nihil sine lahoref' nothing without work. It is a motto good and true and will lead us faithfully onward as long as we follow its precepts. For work is the hasis of all success and when we realize this tact, then will we realize the value of our motto. At this time it may not he out ol' place to say something :llxulll the value ol' education or what our lligh School work has done for ns The principle duty ol' the school is to so train the students that they will not only he hetter citizens, hut also that they may he hetter ahle to help themselves. The ohjeet of the work in school is not In lit one for any particular kind ol' work, hut to so train, develop and hroaden his mind that he will readily he ahle to take up any class ol' work and pursue it with greater intelligence. lYhat particular use will ever he made of Greek, Latin, .Xlgchra or Heoinetr-v?gis a question that many are asking. The ery seems to he directed against Greek and Latin especially. llut why is it that so tew continue in latin to the end, or why is it that so many drop it after a trial? lt is het-ause it is ditlicut and makes them work: it makes them think, il' they would get their lessons. llut is not this the very thing that is wanted? Is it not something that will exercise the mind that is needed? And when a Latin student gets out in the world and some Seemingly mountainous ditliculty confronts him, will not the training whigh 113 Img reeeivetl he of service to him? For in all proba- bility he will go at it as he did at his Latin lesson and patiently work it out. XVe are all of us glad that we have had the privilege ofa Iligh School training and we hope that not only we ourselves may he henelited. hut that we may be the hetter citizens for it.

Stand by the Hag of Freedom. Ah! That Hag has vengeance for villiaus, for did it not catch up the assassin and cause him to fall and break a limb and a remnant still clung to him. It was freedom, liberty that clutched with that guilty one. Send the Stars and Stripes o'er all the earth and make them be honored and looked up to as the emblem of the grandest nation on the face of the earth.

The war cloud had darkened the heavens and now the light is beginning to shine through again, and the mist to clear away. when his sun sinks so suddenly and throws over the land a darkness that is felt in every heart, a darkness that again takes the place of coming dawn.

Une thing only i 'ff was clear, .vor1zciMny must be 11 done which would make the 'W f 7 - X memory of our iinal year in X A,,.,- the High School, an oasis in X 7 the Sahara of records left by our predecessors. Many n night did this indefinite .womcz'M'wy perplex our brains-such as we had-when we should have been poring over our hooks in thc preparation of the next day's lessons. lVe did not want a Senior Exhibition. for it would, beyond ques- tion, be a failure. as the public had not yet recovered from the effects of '95's efforts in that direction and. moreover, we were not at all anxious to run the risk of lowering the glorious reputation which we had won at the presentation of our Junior 'L Ex a year ago. Neither did we wish to don Mexican so1nhreros,thus following ,Sl-Ps example and making ourselves ridiculous, for we are hashfnl in a way, although when you have seen our fiIlAL'l.li, you may not believe it. No, neither of these would answer. Unly something new and start- ling would suit fastidious '96, and so the days and weeks passed and the problem had not yet been solved. Une morning in physics class, however, the process of taking photographs, by means of the X-rays, was explained at great length by one of our embryo scientists, and an article was read stating that Professor Rontgen had succeeded in photographing the human brain and its contents, but that he had experienced great, difficulty in lind- ...s dv! ing people who were willing to have their private thoughts revealed to the public at large. The article furthermore stated that the Professor believed that his discovery would be beneiicial in many ways, especially in schools and colleges, for, by means of it. each teacher could ascertain just how much lcnowlege of any subject the pupils possessed, thus doing away with the t' ponies '7 so often ridden through the 4' tests ll and exam- inations of the present school-system. During this report several Seniors exchanged knowing glances and when the classbell rang, at t.he end of the hour, a whispered consul- tation was held which resulted in the calling of a class meeting. ln this meeting, which was a fair type of all which had preceded it, and, therefore, beggars description. after a spirited discussion, it was decided to invite Professor llijntgen to photograph the brains of the class and then to publish the results. In reply to our letter of invitation, the Professor stated that he would gladly accede to our wishes and, moreover, would charge noth- ing except his doctor bills in case he should be made ill by the exces- sive stair-climbing. Un the twenty-seventh of May he arrived, with the necessary apparatus. Everything was soon in readiness and the great experi- ment was begun, lt occupied about seven and one-half hours. most of the exposures being of ten minutes' duration, although some were one or two minutes shorter, owing to the inability of the younger ones to sit still so long. To me it fell to prepare a description of the results for publication and a statement to this effect came out the next week in the Iffyh School li!,.wrvfv'. llut for this public notice. I doubt that this report. would have ever been made: for, it must be confessed. the result did ami equal our expectations. Perhaps the greatest difficulty which the Professor experienced was that of preventing the rays from passing directly through the brains. there seeming to be nothing to arrest them. Owing to this, several of the plates were blank, while others con- tained only shadowy outlines of what appeared to be,-doubts concern- at ing the probabilities of graduation, a few broken resolves, scattering fragments of partially formed ideas, and an indeiinite number of thoughts concerning gowns for conimenceinent. It was, of course, only girls whose brains were reproduced thus. Still others there were in which the corpus collosuni, corpus, lim- briatum, eminentia collateralis and the anterior, middle and posterior cavities of the ventricles of the cerebruni, the ventricle of the ceres bellnm and a portion of the mednlla oblongata were plainly visible but not the faintest outline of anything' else. The queer aspect of the cerebrum and its contents excited much curiosity, and, upon close examination, it was found that every one of the numerous little nerve libres. of which tl1e white matter of the brain consists, was drawn to the highest possible tension and the ven- tricles, corpus tinilrrialtuni, corpus collosum, etc., presented a parched and shriveled appearance due to the constant strain upon them during those weary days and nights when their owners were racking their brains for something to write upon the subjects assigned them for their final orations. There were a few brains of such extraordinary thickness that the rays would not penetrate them, and, accordingly, only the eonvolutions which form a covering' for the cerebrum were reproduced upon the plate. Une thing which was especially noticeable was the absence of the inferior frontal convolution which is generally accepted by physiologists as the center l'or the memory ol' words. This explained some of the poor Herman recitations. seemingly inexcusable hitherto. which had been frequently made throughout the past year and had many a time called forth from 'Miss Lamb a. mild yet decisive Sir 111 fissen, zach' NZ flfffcrciz. 1 T Several of the photographs depicted brains. which, on account ol' lack of use, were thickly coated with a peculiar substance closely resembling rust, while others revealed great longings for fame in the Professions or in the iield of Journalism or of Politics but, strange as it may seem, in none of them could there be found scarcely more 35 than a trace of the various branches of study upon which so many weary hours have been spent during the past four years. There are a few of these photographs which deserve special mention, among them being that of a brain belonging to one of the girls in the class. This photograph revealed a brain of large size, signifying a great intellect, and containing a large amount of gray matter which showed her to be of a highly nervous temperament which, indeed, was the case. Uccupying the center of the cerebrum was a dark, ominous looking substance, which proved, upon examination to be a minature cyclone ready to burst forth in all its fury and transform the fair possessor of the brain into a perfect whirl-wind of passion for the time being, if any teacher should be so bold as to underestimate her truly excellent recitations. This did not surprise us in the least, however. for we had fre- quently seenmanifestations of this when she had received only ninety- seven or ninety-eight per cent. on some Latin test paper, but when she received below ninety Y I Y great -love himself could not have hurled his thunder-bolt with any greater force than that with which she hurled that test paper into the depths of the waste-basket, where. crumpled and stunned by the fall it lay until the janitor com- mitted it, together with the other contents of the basket, to the Haines. There was one photograph of which the ill-LAt'l.l11 lloard were very anxious to have a cut made, that it might appear in the Ui:.ie1,r:, but the owner begged so hard and seemed so distressed at the thought of it that the hearts of the board softened and the cut was not ordered. There were reproduced upon the plate any number of jokes and witty sayings some ol' which the estimahle young man had sprung 'l in class meetings in the past and others which were all prepared and ready for use in the future, when occasion demanded-presumably at our class hanlluet tomorrow night. There were also glowing plans for the future when, as the leading comedian of the age, l1e should he instrumental in elevating the American stage from the darkness in which it is now enveloped and bringing it upon a level with that of either Paris or London. Clll Mingled with the plans and jokes were all the popular airs and snatches from the latest operas which were continually running through his head and bursting forth in melodious strains, even in school, though. of course, in an undertone. These presented a blurred aspect upon the plate which, of course, was due to the rate at which they traversed his brain. Aside from these there were a few hazy outlines of some non-im- portant facts in Physics, and, now and then, a shadow of what. resembled more than anything else, a part of the conjugation of avmo, but that was all, the rest was blank. There was one of these pictured brains, however, of which we are justly proud and only the modesty of its owner has prevented us from having it enlarged, framed and presented, with our compliments, to the Senior room where it would ever be admired and reverenced by all succeeding classes. Every inch of the plate was crowded full of the ehoieest thoughts and ideas, all clearly detined and of a poetical nature. The size ofthe brain and amount of gray matter was extraordinary and the cerebrum, which, Physiology teaches us, is the organ of the mind, was filled to overliowing with unwritten poems of exquisite beauty, marvelous in one so young. There were epics which rivaled even Yirgil's .liueid, lyrics of which Longfellow or Tennyson might well have been proud, and sonnets perfect in every detail. lVords fail me as I would describe to you, all the beauty and grandeur of that brain as I beheld it that never-to-he-forgotten May afternoon. Dazzled by its magniiicence, I could only say over and over again, Is it a reality-is it not all a beautiful dreamian illusion soon to be dispelled? 7' Could it be possible that the brain of yon youth so unassuming, so meek in demeanor, could be the original of that pictured brain, so dazzling in its beauty? It was even so, and we wept for ,joy as we realized that such a one was in our midst, was one of us--yes,-and the EDITOR-IN-fllIIEF or ore On.xei.E.

PRINCIPLE vs. POPULARITY. The desire to be popular is universal to mankind. This feeling is natural, and, to a certain extent. commendable. For iniiuence over others is by no means the least of the gifts bestowed upon man: and one who possesses this iniluence. can use it in a way which will be of great benelit to those with whom he associates. There is danger. however. that this desire for the approval of others will lead to the compromise of principles which we know are right. Thus the highest interests of mankind are often sacriiiced for the mere selfish ambition to win the admiration of others. But this method of catering to popular opinion does not produce the best results. It may, perhaps, be the cause of temporary favor and approval. but it always injures the character. and often brings about the complete ruin of life. Besides, popularity obtained in this way is not enduring. Of this truth we have many historical illustrations. The noted Robespierre. who took part in the French revolution. in his eager desire for a high position. pandered to the opinions of both parties in the conilict. For a time he was extremely popular. Supported willingly by the common people. he held supreme power in France. But soon there was a change of public feeling. The Very persons who had been Su clamorous in his praise were the ones who afterward became his worst enemies. and who iinally caused his execution. In American history we have Benedict Arnold. one who sacrificed principle for money and a coveted position. But in him we have 41 another example of a life ending in shame and disgrace, an example of one who was utterly despised by those whose favor he sought to win. It is only when a person does what he knows to be right, even if he must contend against popular feeling. that in the end he gains lasting respect and honor. It was in this way that Martin Luther gained an influence which finally swayed the civilized world. lVhen he advanced his new doctrines, he was treated with contempt by those in authority. A few supported him in his new belief, but it was not until long after his death that the world recognized his true greatness as a reformer. Think of the difficulties with which llvilliam Lloyd Garrison had to contend that he might be true to his convictions. At first he was one of the few who realized the terrible wrong in the traflic in human life. lVhile slavery was still recognized by the people as a divine institution. Garrison rose in defense of the black man. By his fearless efforts in the anti-slavery movement, he did a mighty work for human liberty. But how was he treated by the pretended lovers of liberty in the Xorth? He was unmercifully ridiculed. called a fool and a fanatic: his printing otlice was surrounded, and he was dragged with a rope through the streets of aristocratic Boston by a mob of the most respectable til of its citizens. But today YYilliam Lloyd Garrison is a name inseparahly connected with the grand movement. which has made America really, as well as nomi- nally, a free country-the emancipation of a race. ln this connection also may be mentioned ll'endell Phillips. one who gave up everything except his life-and that. too, was often endangered-in defense of his convictions. As a rising lawyer, he had every advantage for success.-wealth, a line education. and the best social standing. llut when it was known that he had become an abolitionist. his prospects suddenly darkened. His former associates shunned him. and denounced him as the friend of the niggersf' he became a social outcastg and even his own relatives were ashamed to have their family honor stained by one who had made himself an object of such general scorn. His professional prospects were ruinedg 42 and everything which had seemed brig-lit before became dark and gloomy. But nothing could swerve liim from the path of duty. For all these saerilices he was doubly repaid. He lived to see the teach- ings he had adyanced 'ioyfully endorsed. not only by the victorious North. but hy the conciliated South. Future generations will honor XVendell Phillips as one of the greatest American reformers, one who was instrumental in breaking the shackles of four million slaves. The long list of reformers, which has come down to us through the pages of history. is composed of men who would not, on any account, yield to the temptation to swerve from the right no matter how apparently advantageous to the popularity of their cause it might have heen to do so. .llow much hrigliter is the lustre of these char- acters than of those who have defeated their own highest interests by sacrificing' their principles for the sake of gaining the approhation of others. There are many temptations ot this kind in our daily lives. Although these smaller things may seem but tritles, yet they are not to be despised. For the lives of most of us are composed of tritles. and it is indeed a beautiful life into which these smaller incidents are Su skillfully woven as to form a symmetrical whole. liesides. little temptations are often hardest toovcrcome. for the very reason that they seem so triliing. lt is in these little things that wc are most apt to fail. ln social life how many there are who do not strictly follow their convictions as to right and wrong. These mistakes are often uninten- tional ones, which could he avoided by a little thoughtful care. But there are many who. when they have decided upon some course which they think it right for them to pursue. have not the moral courage to adhere to their convictions. This is more especially true, if they have any reason to suspect that there are others to whom their beliefs will not appear well-founded. Thus many unconsciously weaken their characters and destroy their inllucnce while striving to gain the favor of their associates. NVe also see much sacriliee ot' principle among persons in public life.-persons who above all should be without reproach. It is neces- sary that the purpose of those to whom others look as leaders. should 43 he pure and noble. But when the ambition of the leader is to make himself prominent, rather than to work for the highest good of all. he is sure to prove false to his cause and defeat his own ends. If he advances false ideas which he hopes will find popular support, if he uses doubtful means to gain the favor of the wealthy and influential, his power for good is lost, and he becomes a hindrance, rather than an aid, to the welfare of his country. The opposition of the people often prevents even ministers from expressing their views fearlessly,-from preaching the truth in regard to the many popular evils of the day. lctut there is nowhere more need of straight forwardness and honesty than in the public press. The American newspaper is beyond doubt a most powerful agency for intiuencing the people for good or evil. There are more newspapers in the Tvnited States alone than in all the rest of the world combined. Their wide circulation can not but have a mighty educating influence upon the people of our eountryg for our opinions are in a large measure moulded by what we read, and the current literature of the nation comes to us entirely through the newspapers and magazines. Therefore it is of the greatest im' portancc that the utterances of these papers be entirely unbiased by popular feeling. The desire to gratify the taste of depraved readers too often leads to the publication of sensational matter. Several columns are often given to thedetails ofa brutal prize tight, while the mention of elevating subjects is eonlined to a single paragraph. The treatment of subjects which the press should justly and conscien- tiously discuss, should be in no way modified by what the public may desire to read on those subjects. It is only by strong determination to follow our convictions. at whatever cost, that we can hope to fashion our lives after the highest ideal, the attainment of which should be our noblest purpose. The greater effort this requires, the more complete will be our reward. For as we admire and honor our Puritan and Pilgrim forefathers, and those who endured the greatest hardships and perils that they might not dishonor their principles, so we shall be regarded by those who live after us, if we are true in the highest sense to our duty. 44 even if we must stand alone in defense of the right. For ns Lowell says :- Then to side with Truth is noble when we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and protit, and 'tis prosperous to be justq Then it is the brave man chooses, while the Coward stands aside, Doubting in his abject spirit, till his Lord is crucified, And the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied. ll 14:1e'r1i,x EVIQLYN MALONE. is 2-X11 Efpluit uf Sir Qiratlc.

Having, hy dint of exertion. traveled into the country of far-famed cities he made his way from Okemos across the plains of Lansing to visit the noble ruin of the former seat of learning. NVhen his eye rested upon the four lonely chimneys. the looming walls and rootless domes. his heart stood still and a tear trickled down his cheek. He entered the forsaken pile and ascended the tottering stairs. Uh. what a scene of desolation was there!

After ascending flight. after liight of stairs he came to a noble hall, grand in its proportions. which still echoed with the sounds of oratory breathed by the immortal Ludwick.

F1.o1eENCE Eroisr CHXNILERS 53 l Gullrgc Burning Glasses, HLIAS FRATERNITY HOPS. An essay by Joseph Addison that never appeared in the Spectator. There is a certain undetinahle relationship between college gentle- men and the young ladies of neighboring villages. The more horti- cultural the place of learning. the more anxious the ladies become to visit it. for the country and city there join in a romantic landscape which makes every one of the fair sex turn green with envy if she is not emerald colored before. But this earthly paradise sometimes loses its charms for the residents and it is whispered about that hen roosts and grape arbors in the neighborhood occasionally receive midnight visitors. The hens are picked when stolen, however, so that no tell- tale feathers ever appear. The college students have organized certain classes within the last few years, which, by the number of so-called widows resulting, we should judge to be very beneficial. They have no special time for meeting. but the irregularities are made up by the length of classes for they have been known to last until the birds sing in the early morning. The subjects studied :11'ejowzcff'cf1l anatomy and chemistry. Theo- retical anatomy is taken up by each individual after the class is over. liotany is so expensive a study that specimens are only allowed to a portion of the class. These are procured from greenhouses and are warranted to last for two classes if they come close enough together. Finance is also discussed but this is usually kept out of the class roomg each individual generally receives several free handwritten 34 Zecizzzfes on this question which makes him fully understand the state of currency without lengthy personal discussions. Such remarks as L' Lend me a quarter, or I once had five dollars, are occasionally heard, however. The line art of dressing in style is also thought of and discussed in side talks but never enters the general discussion which is usually about the weather, the hack, a stroll, the owl, the frat, or something of less importance. lvsually an awkward squad is formed before classes in which young men are taught to toe out and keep their knees from bending too much. This squad never carries anything heavier than broom sticks. The exercise is most conducive to health and beauty of person. The class when in session discusses music, the art of dancing, and the accomplishment of eating. The latter, in which the students learn how to use a spoon, takes life-long practice before a suitable indigestion is reached. The dance is the most beneficial and the most important portion of the session. lfsually it is in twenty or thirty divisions. Between dances each lady drinks a glass of water, a11d sometimes they even iind the cool open air beneficial after a heated discussion of the all important topic. There was one thing that struck me the most forcibly of all, which was the line arts display. By this I mean the living models who posed in many tragic shapes. One young lady reminded 1neofYenus de Milos, excepting that Venus didn't wear crinoline and a girdle. After the class has held for a few hours, usually from it P. M. to 6 ,i. xi., the session is closed by a grand finale in which all join. The day it closes is usually Saturday and the gentlemen hardly lind time to rest up so that they can make their after-party calls Saturday night. These classes are highly beneficial to all unlettered young ladies and no mother should allow her daughter to miss one. She gets val- uable ideas in dress, dancing, the cultivation of the ear and heart and many other true accomplishments of the society of the day. The evening class has been omitted in many college catalogues and for that reason we think it doing our superior college brethren a favor by publishing this article. W'e sincerely hope that the classes of the 55 future may continue to grow and we are sure they will, for this year the expense for hacks has been greatly decreased, as street cars now run to the grounds, and it has been noticed that they receive more patronage than the more costly but gloomy vehicle. It has also been noticed that some of the gentlemen have a pro- pensity for walking hoine in the wee hours of the morning to the great disshiniinent of patent leather shoes. Many of the young ladies who attend these Classes are rapidly iinishing their High School courses and the air of the college is known to be very conducive to their studies. And in closing I would advise all fathers to give their boys at least two dollars a year for these Classes when they get to college, and all mothers we would advise to stay at hoine and let their daughters go without chaperons. 56 Glass Qi-hsturg. All the world's a stage and all the men and Women merely players. Moreover the actors in the great drama of life are also spectators of the scenes which are constantly being enacted by their associates. Thus it has ever beeng and though an infinite number of plays have been enacted since the great stage was created yet the interest has never waned. The variety of action has been as great as the number, since in some the series of events has been short, stormy, and deeply tragic: in others slow, dull, uneventful and of little infiuence: while yet others-alas, how few!-have been filled with joyous, mirthful changes. To-night we wish to direct the attention of the audience toward the drama which the 't Company of ,96 has been earnestly working out during the past four years. Following the Shakesperian style, it consists of distinct acts, in this case four, each of which has its definite purpose in the drama. The Company, consisting of one hundred and twenty-ive anxious amateurs, was organized by a Young but competent stage manager. lVe remember distinctly with what loudly beating hearts and thought- ful faces they marched into l.ansing's Temple of Learning as the curtain arose for their Hrst rehearsal on a bright September day in the year eighteen hundred ninety-two. During the early part of the first act, it was very noticeable that each member felt the responsibility of his undertaking and also that all suffered more or less from stage fright. But as the frequent rehearsals became more and more monotonous, the stage fright wore Commencement Family Hammocks, Baby Ham' mocks and Hammocks just right for two. at prices to suit all. ecreation I Bicycles, Base Balls, Nlitts, Masks, Clubs, Witch Hazel Extract and Vino-Kolafra.

Many times when the parts assigned were particularly hard the manager feared that the drama might develop into a tragedy. And even now as We look upon this masterpiece in its completion. we are at a loss to know just how to classify it, since throughout its entire course we are entranced by the pleasing variety of action: now it seems to be a genuine comedy, then a dark, deep tragedy, and at times one would think it had degenerated into a mere farce. The independent spirit of the H Com- pany of 'HG was manifested by their early decision, embodied in the classical phrase, t'lVe paddle our own canoegw but after two years of hard work we Iind them somewhat less conceited and ready to agree that there is Q' Nothing without laborfl The first act fulfills its purpose so nicely that at its close it is very easy to prophesy who will become stars in the profession. Meanwhile the members of the company had advanced so greatly that at the opening of the second act a large number determined to take the tragic role of Caesar, while the others attempted less diflicult parts. It was very discernible that the actors and actresses who had attempted the part of Caesar continually wore a serious and troubled look. This was caused by the close study of the character that was necessary in giving it the correct interpretation. The company, having spent the entire year in earnest work, decided to pass one day together in pleasure before they disbanded for their usual summer vacation. The members laid aside their stage manners and l,eadley's Park rang all day with shouts of their merri- ment. Some gaily whiling away the time under the beautiful trees, others taking. like proverbial ducks, to the water. At the opening of the third act, the former stage manager, Young as ever, again assumed charge of the company which advanced greatly under her supervision. The audience were very much interested in determining just where the culmination to this wonderful drama occurred, but to all who gave the matter careful study, it was very evident that the Junior lixhibition was the turning point in the play, since all seemed to act their parts with more entliusiasm from this point. BS The Company of WHS took great pride in composing a drama in which no ponies were needed on the stage, but having knowledge of a certain company-a rival known as '95-under the same director, who were giving a production in which a pony was indispensable, the members of magnanimous '96 decided to show their generosity by presenting their rivals with a very valuable one-a gift which we hope was fully appreciated. The remainder of the act was very well presented, and as the cur- tain fell at the close, everyone looked forward anxiously to the last, and in some respects, to the most important act. Great stress was placed upon this part of the play, as it would decide to some extent the future of the members, and the stage manager, realizing that 'UG would do better work if they were not troubled by any Junior com- pany, placed them upon at stage by themselves. Although the members were very busy with the work in their pre- scribed course of training. yet they decided that it would be of count- less value to them to spend every third Friday evening throughout the year in studying a few of the best productions of the great minds of England, France, Italy, Germany and America. Une of these stated evenings when the ground was white with snow, the temptation to take a ride out to the 'tdales was too great to be resisted, and all enjoyed it immensely, although it is barely possible that their minds were not benefited to a very great degree. The 4' Company of 'fltlf' deeming their dramatic production worthy of preservation, selected a few of their most able members to put it into book form, and we are certain that the Marlene will, as its name suggests, contain much valuable in formation which no one can afford to lose. And now as the pronipter Time rings down the curtain upon the final act of our little drama, we feel conlident that each will go forth stronger and better fitted to take his part in the great drama of life, in proportion as he has done faithfully and well the part assigned him on this mimic stage. Utivn E. CLEMENT, an Hind at llittlc Gluld yglllllfl Zgcad 2l'1r111. It was New Year's, a cold sunshiny day. The snow had fallen the night before. and everything was now clothed in white. Arthur Kendal sat alone in his room, with the door partly opened. lle had determined to finish a law course in two and a half years instead of four, the usual number. Although a greater part of the students of Gilmore College had returned to their hoines for their holiday vacation, he, wishing to complete his course before return- ing home. had remained at the college during the holidays. Ile studied too much, and was too quiet and reserved to suit the other students. At first, some tried to draw him out and persuade him to join their societyg but their efforts were all in vain. He never seemed one of them. and while others were sleeping, he was poring over some important law hook. His pale face and the few silver threads here and there in his dark brown hair told only too plainly of his overwork. His dark eyes. which at times seemed almost black. had a sad expression. Although he was doing exceedingly well in his studies, he was not satisfied: he longed for something which he did not possess. At times he grew restless and tried to shake off this feeling by studying even more than usual. Uppressed by a great sense of his loneliness, he would often take long walks, and come back only to fight the same battle over again. As he sat there alone in the almost deserted building, thinking of the past and also wondering what the New Year had in store for him. he heard voices in the corridor. Mrs. lloward, the wife of one of the professors. having' recently lill moved there, lived near Gilmore College and had brought her friend, Mrs. Reed and baby Dorothy, who were spending the holidays with her, over to show her through the different buildings. Dorothy was a sweet faced little child, with large brown eyes and light golden hair. She seemed to love everyone, and took all hearts by storm with her sweet, quaint little ways. As she was passing the door, she peeped in and spied Arthur Kendal sitting very still, with his head bowed. Little wonder then, that, after stepping softly into the room, she said with a sorrowful expression on her baby face, 'L You must be lonesome here all alone, Its sorry for youfl He smiled sadly, stooped and tenderly lifted the baby form in his arms. This pleased the little one and she threw her tiny arms around his neck, kissed him softly and said, I love you lots and lots I tlo, you poor all alone mang but you won't be alone any more now, for Ils going to ask my mamma to let me tum over and see you every day? lVell, well, now I shall enjoy that immensely, little one. and so you love me, do you? NVell, I'm glad of that too, and what is my little girl's namef' tt Dorothy Reed. Isn't that a nice name? 7' The child did not know that she had caused his heart to beat faster at the name Dorothy, nor did she at first notice how very still he sat. But as he did not answer at once, she feared he did not like the name, but thought he surely ought to. for so many had told her how pretty it was. So, looking up at him, with a disappointed expression on her little round face, she said: lVhy! don't you like it? A faint smile crossed his lips at the cl1ild's question. and then he said, slowly and sadly. more to himself than to her: 4' Yes, Dorothy is a sweet name. a sweet name. IVell, and she heaved a little sigh of content, I's glad you like it: but what makes you so still? 'Why don't you laugh and talk to me some more? He now roused himself from his reverie, and laughingly said, Well, what a stupid fellow I am! lVhat shall I do to entertain my little guest ? - til -- 1 lh! won't you please tell me a 11ice story ?

The child l1ad already touched the heart of tl1e lonely 111311, and he was willing to do his best to amuse her, so he began to tell llfil' a story, as she wished.

Notwithstanding the taunts of the weary world and the bitter Juniors, the Class of '96 has lived and thrived during the past year. It has carried everything forward with characteristic energy and enthusiasm. Expressions of wonder and amazement have daily been uttered by teachers and under-classmen in regard to the astonishing and forcible manner in which those incomparable Seniors accom- plished their translations of Maria Stuart and Virgilg their stolen conversations in the dark corridors or their battlets in class-meetings. Those class-meetings! Will they ever be effaced from the memory of any who participated in them? As tranquil as the roaring ocean when its waves in their fury seem to smite the dark expanse of quivering sky. As quiet as the hoarse, rolling voice of the forest as it moans and grumbles when its gigantic pines and oaks are lashed by the terrific power of the angry hurricane. But this unusual tran- quility and quiet will not be without its effects, for here orators of the future made their juvenile attempts toward extemporaneous speaking. And when in coming years we proudly read of the ora- torical fame of our fellow classmen. Bement, Dale, Burnett or may- haps Appleyard. we will turn back in 111Q1l101'yiS fond records to the palmy days of i96's good old class-meetings. The wearers of the white and green may be classified under three divisions: regular members. post-graduates. and those whose gradua- tion was postponed. But all work together in perfect harmony Cthat is. when they are not quarrelingi and they are ever ready to sympa- thize with one another in the dark test-hour. How plainly this was shown during the gloomy days which followed the arithmetic exami- nation in April! Three days of terrible suspense had been endured ere the standings were announced. and in the meantime the classical features of the Seniors expressed the deepest anxiety and care. Of course. none shed bitter tears on their own account but because of their solicitude on behalf of their classmates. However. the unequaled '1H3's will probably tell you it is mere child's play to pass a teacheris exam. in arithmetic. Oh This illustrious class organization will soon be ai thing of the pzxstg but since the olml teaching is that we are renienibereml by the good we have done, '96 need never fear the sud fate of being forgotten. Even the teachers will l'f3Il1Gl1lbG1l this Class as one whose equal they hall not seen before Canal hope never to Hgillllil. 137 P- -T ,- FOR sei.-......, Fine Chino. - Rich Cut Glciss, V, Bric-ci-Brclc, Q Mfg, .,.:..,:5,f Dinner Wd re. i Chcirryber Sets I M i ., C1 n d ,. ,,.: 3 gg I f, i'i11':l s ' 1- LG rn D 5 V SEE . . .

From the first speech till the Curtain fell the interest never 1111gge11 and every Junior felt that success was sweet as honey. As J1111101'S, 1vefee1 co11fide11ttl111t the 111aXi11111n1 11115 been reached 211161 that the Class of '98 will 11ever be111b1e to surpass the Junior Ex. given bv WPT. 91 Elms Buuiur Q-Xtturrliltg tu thc SS,c11inrs. The L. Il. S. is a bounserg that is, so the Juniors think, and those august personages know that the Junior Ex. is of more importance than Commencement. Of course, Cornmencenient is a good thing to get rid of the Seniors, but the Ex. doesn't even rid us of those Juniors, but instead we have to hear for the rest of the year about the gorgeous Symposium that they had. The Juniors very wisely, being in love with triangles. divided their program into three parts. The first wasn't very startling. A little airy fairy girl with a will-ol-the-wisp lisp told us how glad papa and the Juniors were to see the people. Next a fellow with wind-mill appendages gave us a startling and soul-stirring oration that thrilled the expectant multitude until they bowled. Lend me not thy ears. Among the star attractions was a selection that got out of its grave during the resurrection before the flood. The owl-eyed gentle- man who recited his woes to us as if we were Mormons, filled the bill, which, fortunately wasnlt very large. After some more eloquence. 11121Xlll111S, plurimus. exquisitus. the curtain fell for the first time. But, 011. wonder of wonders, when the curtain arose the second time a gorgeous sight men our eyes. A lot of the Junior damsels with beautiful i?i arms and swan-like t?l necks were seated in a row about a luscious dish of colored water. Shakespeare. could he but have seen them. would surely have written a comedy, entitled, The Costumes of Paradise Alley. Doubtless many a mother sighed for the worn- out table cloths which these fashionable Grecians found convenient U2 for their costumes. One thing of value we learned about Greek mat- rons, however, namely. that they used cosmetics. Penelope Cook, Aspasiai Lyon, und Entychis Hayden gave us examples of their orutory which sounded as if Lucy S. was :ifrnid of The ORACLE und shied out. But at lust there was an eclipse of the nioon :ind all the night- ingales got hoarse for Snppho ipronounced Sup-oi, the poetess, sung us u selection from the gronnings of lludes. At lust the curtain fell and innnediutely the audience applauileml. But the third part was tlnf farce, the typical part in fact.
