LIBERTY UNION HIGH SCHOOL. ERECTED 1908. '1 To Our School April the sixth, nineteen eight, Oh, great day! thou hast no mate. Tis not into a dream we've rushed, Old faults forever are crushed. See for yourself if were not blest, As in this palace We now rest, Far from that dear old Woodshed In newness and beauty our life is led. Here's to the school that We attend, Let our praises the heavens rend, As them with joy We loudly cry, Drink then, all, to the Liberty High. Here's to the teachers, our dearest friends Who Work from morning till the day ends Giving the best that in them lies, Drink to our faculty, whom we prize. Here's to the trustees and their work, May blessings in their pathways lurk, For our comforts they always serveg Drink, then, to those who deserve. it Reflections Oh! Liberty Halls, where there's now no returning, Oh! place where, as young folks, we acted so queerg Yet deep in our hearts everlasting is burning A flame of sweet memory for school so dear. XVe're now in a mansion we,ve wished for so long, But things are not perfect-though nothing seems wrong. All in our new palace we seem such a few That our thoughts often wander, as thoughts some- times do. Back to the woodshed they'll rise,on their wings, Then through the old halls in our fancy there rings The sweet voice of the girls as they always were talking, The sound of thc boys through the halls noisily stalking. We see the old cobweb which we used to abhor, And the dust on the walls which we now can adoreg An ink-well turned over, its contents all spilled, But what did that matter? it soon could be filledg A Window-pane broken to let in the air- Oh! give us back pleasures we once enjoyed there. While our mansion is grand, there is not the collec- tion Of joys we can find in our sweet retrospection. Our studies were pleasures in those days we passed oler, And with joy we now study as in life we seek more. But our new school is a treasure all are admiring With voices and actions and grace never tiringg Yet wherever we wander, wherever we rove, The halls of old Liberty,' forever we'1l love. -J. M.

You must not gofl said Evelyn. Listen. I'll tell you all. Once Harry and I were foolish. as are all young people. and fell deeply in love. But one must go down three times before drowning. and before that fatal third time we were rescued by a lover's quarrel. It didn't hurt. me. and l am thankful for my fate. not that I do not think him admirable. still I should not care for him for a life partner. He slTall be a man of excellent char- aeter and in confidence I will tell you I have found him. lint poor IIarry. I know he felt hurt. because he was so devoted. and so my presence here will make it unpleasant for-him. Now I ani sure you will not feel hurt by my leaving. About tln-,sanie time in another part of that comfortable and inviting summer residence of the Kenneths. Evelyn's husband and VVinifred's former sweetheart were holding conversation. 'tFred, old boy. said Harry. I will have to leave you, as I am called away on business matters. Business matters! Here we are about ten miles from town and I know very well that you have not received a telegram or letter. Must be mental telegraphyf' ' tfWell. I admit it is not business. confessed Harry. Hbut not caring to weary you. I made that excuse. The fact is I am subject to epileptic tits. the symp- toms of which I feel several days before. Nonsense, now. Harry. fits don't go any better than business. There is something else back of thisf' 'tWc+ll. perhaps I might as well tell you. said Harry. NI once loved the sweetest girl in the world, as I thought then. I thought I couldn't live without her. She was my own happiness. However. We have not met for two years. but last night as I was sitting on the veranda I saw the same girl. now grown to womanliood-VVinifred Jackson. Poor girl, I know she is still charming. but another has taken her place. In spite of the quarrel. I think she still cares for me. It does not hurt me. but I think the only honorable thing for me to do is to leave. So. old boy, since I have told you all. make my exeusesg sick, dead-anything but the truth. The next morning. bright and early. a neat little figure i11 gray stole from the house. Dear me, she said. isnt this provoking? I had so set my heart on having such a pleasant visit. So saying she gave the wheel a jerk and set the machine going. It was a beautiful summer morn- ingg the birds were singing and all nature seemed so gay that she was soothed into enjoyment. The road was perfect and the machine moved as smoothly as possible. Meanwhile Harry Brown had set out in his machine. also enjoying the pleasures of the morning. Soon he exclaimed to himself, MI see I am not the only one out for a spin. It looks as though that was a lady bending over a wheel. Hard luck. Suddenly he had brought the machine to a stand- still beside that of the young lady. To his great amazement the blue eyes of Winifretl Jackson met his as he asked. Can I be of any assistance to you? Recovering herself she quietly answered. I have met with an accident, They had hardly overcome their enibarrassment when another machine eaine toward them. Ilarry did not fail to notiee the tell- tale tiush on Winifrs-d's cheek when the young man in the other ear alighted and the expression on Iiorimen Andrew's face was evidenee enough for Ilarry. Neither did VVinitred fail to hear the ex- clamation Ilarry gave as he grasped the hand of a happy-faced girl seated at IJ0I'IIIl9I S side. Both IIarry and VVinifred understood then that their solicitations for each other had been useless. VVhat brings you two out so early in the morn- ing? Cousin Olive and I were just going to Fred Kenneth's. said Ilorimer. Wil are visitors there and were just running a race this fine morning. said Harry. when Miss .Iaekson's machine gave out. Perhaps we ean manage to tow the maehine there and still be in time for breakfast. At Ilarry's suggestion they did this. YVinifred seated herself in Lorimer's machine and they towed her maehine along behind. while IIarry and Ulive were speeding on ahead. lioth parties arrived at the Kenneths in time for breakfast. greatly to the surprise Init delight of their host and hostess. Before the summer had ended two weddings had taken place at the summer residence of the Ken- neths. E. C. HEIDORN. 'HIL Our Relations to the N FEBRUARY 28, Professor VV. Scott 'llhomas of the University of California spent the greater part of the day at Brentwood looking into the work of the liiberty Union Iligh School. This was not his first visit. as his signature is found in the register under date of August 30. l905. Professor Thomas was some years ago principal of schools at Petaluma. Sonoma. County. and is now an adjunct professor in the Department of Educa- tion at the University of California. For the last few years he has been the sole representative of the University to visit the various high schools and to report upon the work done therein. llere he found at least one promising feature that was con- spicuously absent on his former visit. Ile went carefully over the new high school building almost completed and expressed his approval of it as in line with progress in school architecture. and con- gratulated us on our deliverance from the inade- quate quarters we had occupied so long. He was favorably impressed by the neat appear- ance. the courteous manner and the general cheer- Universily of Calytornia L fulness of the pupils. and the proficiency shown by those pupils who remained cool and did themselves justice. He was assured that the entire community was now in sympathy with the school and loyally supporting itg that the hoard was unanimous and eo-operating with the teachersg that all was har- mony within our walls. He asked' what pupils were looking forward to a university career. talked with some of them and assured the principal that he would use his influence, as he had done in the past, in behalf of these pupils if they came up later before the committee on entrance and bearing the princi- pal's recommendation. Of course accrediting was out of the question for this year. as we have no graduating class. as the three teachers are not entirely occupied with academic work. and as our library facilities and equipment are so meager. But all he said was hopeful and encouraging, and the chances for accrediting a year hence were certainly enhanced by his visit. Now, what does accrediting mean? Essentially that the examiner was pleased at what he saw. It 'is largely a matter of judgment based on impres- sions--impressions formed supposedly during the few hours of his visit. It means more than any- thing else that the teachers are cheerful and doing the best they can under the circumstances. and that they represented to the examiner that their col- leagues. their pupils. their board and their patrons are doing just the same thing. Now add to these conditions fair teaching and fair equipment. and accrediting is assured. To the community accred- iting means that the name of the school. the location and the name of the principal are published by the University in pamphlet form and sent to each prin- cipal and to the clerk of each high school board. To the graduate it means that if his work has been satisfactory to his principal he can get from his principal a recommendation that will admit him to the University of California on trial without the formality of an entrance examination. If his work in the University proves unsatisfactory he casts reflection upon the efficiency and good faith of the principal. who recommended him and may discredit the school from which he comes. As shown above. the discrediting of a school by no means implies necessarily poor teaching, and unless the discredit- ing is for this cause the graduate of a non-aceredited school can generally get the same recommeudation and entrance privileges as the graduate of an accredited school can. If the pupil's work has been good and the work ofhis teachers has been good. he will be as ready to meet the entrance examinations as the Christian is to meet death. The bugaboo of an entrance exam- ination has no terrors for a satisfactory pupil whose principal commands the confidence of the University and has their assurance that those he recommends will be given a trial. But some of the best principals of accredited schools refuse to recommend any pupil. no matter how thorough in every subject asked for. and leave the pupil to take his chances at one or more entrance examinations. The only matter ot concern to the pupil looking forward to the Uni- versity is, are his teachers able and painstaking. and do they enjoythe confidence of the University? The rest depends upon himself. There are schools by the score where the teaching is good. and yet accrediting is denied. Wliile the merely passable pupil. or rather the unsatisfactory pupil. is not sup- posed to be recommended for further work, he may do much to keep the standard so low as to prevent accrediting. Slovenliness and lawlessness on the part of the pupils. want of harmony and co-operation among the faculty. discord and obstruction on the part of the board. want of sympathy and support on the part of the community have discredited many a school. XVhile the teachers are primarily on trial. there are three other parties necessarily associated with them in the matter of accrediting-the stu- dents. the trustees. the patrons. The system of accrediting has been a wonderful stimulus to the high schools and discovers and cor- rects many wrong tendencies. However. it is open to many objections and works many hardships. The one examiner can make only hasty and superficial visits. and is himself liable to run in a groove. Put- ting the fortunes of all the high schools of the great State of California in the hands of one man for even one year is too great a concentration of responsi- bility. But the matter is aggravated by continuing him year after year. Ile is human and carries with him each year the prejudices of former years. and people are quick to learn his weaknesses. such as we all have. and play upon them for their own personal emolument or for schemes of revenge. With all its evils we can not afford to abandon state inspection, but each can oder his suggestions for its better adaptation to our needs. In conclusion, the University of California has not, to my knowledge. followed the lead of Stanford in recognizing the equal value and dignity of com- mercial studies. but insists that three teachers be wholly employed with non-commercial branches before holding out any hope of accrediting. No school can be put upon the list without a graduating class for that year. The examiner says our one great need is to set up and maintain a high standard of scholarship. These three reasons precluded all hope of accrediting for the c'urrent year. Four teachers and the rigorous einehing out of all pupils, especially from the upper classes, who can not main- tain the pace set by the best is the price We must pay for University recognition and for seeing our names upon the official list of accredited schools. If we are seeking University approval and aim to bc a feeder to the University. the price must be paid. T. A. LEWIS. School Days The Professor e:1111e Il0XVl1 to sehool 0110 day.

Assistant Business Manager IIE year is swiftly rolling by and we are near- ing the day when we shall say farewell to the graduates of '08, A feeling of sadness comes over us as we think of the short time. Alas, but it is all too soon! I lt is with pleasure that we plaee before the public our fourth Annual. and we sincerely hope that our efforts will merit their approval. As editors of this Annual in behalf of the school, we desire to thank those who have so kindly con- tributed to it. We close this term hoping Fortune will have greater things in store for Liberty l'nion High School in the future than in the past since we now have a fully equipped and up-to-date building. We again and again thank those, espeeially the trustees. who have so faithfully labored for our interest in the way of a new building. We feel it is not only a eredit and pleasure to them and us, but also to the entire community. The business managers desire to thank the busi- ness people who have so generously responded with ads.. thus making it possible for us to publish the fourth Annual. We hope they may be doubly paid for the lil'eral subscriptions they have given us. Vtle indeed feel it is the duty of every friend of the lligh Sehool to patronize the advertisers as far as possible. Again we thank the friends and patrons of the Liberty l'nion lligh School of Brentwood. URING the past three years the Annual has been used to remind you of our need of a new building. This year we want to thank all for the building provided for us. Those who have visited our old quarters and who will visit us in our new place. and we hope they will do so, need no explanation about the benefits of the present accommodations. Those who have read our previous Annuals and who will visit us now can readily see the improvements. To those who have had neither of these pleasures we invite them to visit us now and pass judgment whether our accommoda- tions can be improved upon. Perhaps it would be well to name a few of the improvements. The greatest improvements are the separation from the grammar school and the location in a place where we will not conflict with any one. The spacious rooms, good light, well heated and well-ventilated rooms add a general enlightened tone to our work. Next year with our library more com- plete and the modern-fitted laboratories. all studies ean be taken up thoroughly. These are only a few of the benefits which we are now enjoying. VVe wish to thank the trustees. to whom we are indebted for our present comforts. and also those who have helped in this matter. To the Woman 's Vlub we are indeed grateful for the kind interest they have manifested in our welfare and the help they have given us. resent - mfnllment jluninrs freshmen Qlummerrial Second Year BARKI-E-Y' GEO- BONNICKSON, FRANK DAINTY, LEONARD BONNICKSON, IVA COOK' Zu-'LA C01-LIS.-BE-SSIE TH DIFFIN, MILLARD .

Our first opponents were the members of the Riverview High School team. whom we encountered on September l-l. 1907. We won the game by the score of 7 to fl. The best our opponents could do was to get a man on third base. but by clever playing they were never allowed to cross the home plate. l'pon the arrival of the visiting team and their friends. we were all invited to partake of a delicious luncheon. which had been prepared by the girls of our high school. VVe next' tested our strength with the members of the Mount Diablo Union High School team at Con- cord. VVe went in a body to this place. leaving the depot at 8. but owing to a delay at Avon we did not reach our destination until l o'clock. Before proceeding to the field we were shown through their new high school building, and were then invited to a banquet. which proved to be a veritable feast. VVe then repaired to the diamond. where we came off victorious with a score of 16 to 5. Owing to the late- ness of our arrival and the length of the game we had to make a very hurried departure. and suc- ceeded in catching our train only through the kind- ness of the conductor. who held his train for us. Three weeks later. October 12. we niet the baseball club of the Richmond High. with whom we contested for the championship of Contra Costa County. Vtfc succeeded in winning an uninteresting game. the score being 19 to 8. Thus did we win the champion- ship of the County. Our line-up for the past year was as follows: R. Nunn. pitcherg J. Barkley. catcherg R.. Shafer. first baseg E. Shafer. second baseg F. Nunn. third bascg G. Barkley. shortstopg Robert Wallac.-e. left fieldg D. Pemberton. center fieldg M. Ditfin. right field. We were unable to get any more games after the Richmond game. so could gather no more scalps to hang on our victorious belt. This spring we have received challenges from the Oakland. Mount Diablo. and Richmond high schools. but owing to the absence of our catcher. Barkley. and Fielder Pemberton and others who. on account of sickness will be unable to play. we will not be able to respond. The girls of Liberty Union High School and the faculty showed a marked interest in the games last year. and this proved a very great help to us, their enthusiasm inspiring us to put forth our very best efforts. If they manifest the same interest this coming year we will develop a strong team and carry off the baseball honors again. In addition to baseball we hope next year to attain to some degree of skill as tennis players and to be ready ere long to receive challenges from other high schools for tennis matches. In the rainy season we will occupy our time with the boxing gloves and punching bag and indoor gymnasium work. R. H.

Prophecy , IIE Great Exposition of 1918 had been opened with all the pomp and eereniony that is usual on sueh occasions. and Oakland was daily thronged with crowds of people. some idly strolling about on pleasure bent. others hastening from one great exhibit to another, determined to see every- thing. It seemed to me as I watched the throng that every part of the United States-yea. verily, every part of the known world-must be represented here, and I must confess that I was more interested in watching the people and in studying human nature than in examining the productions of this wonderful country of ours. On the third day of my visit as I- stood gazing into the crowds that swept by me. my eye happened to alight on a man who was leisurely pacing along. There was an air of familiarity about his walk that arrested my attentiong something in the tilt of the chin and the long, easy stride. After watching him for a time I became convinced that this was no other than Mr. Lewis. who had been my principal in the.Brentwood High School. I hastened to over- take him, and when within a few ,steps of him I softly ealled his name. He turned about hastily and looked at me rather sharply for an instantg then a look of pleased recognition began to kindle in his eyes. and he came toward me with outstretched hand. 'Pen years had elapsed sinee our last meeting. but the years had seemingly passed lightly over him, and he was little changed-a little stouter perhaps. Ile paid me the compliment Calways dear to the feminine heartl of saying that I did not look one day older. We strolled along together and naturally our conversation turned ,to the topic which was mutually interesting, What of Brentwood and the pupils of Liberty Union High School? He was able to give me quite a fund of interesting informa- tion in regard to my former Brentwood friends, for he had met a number of Brentwood people since his arrival at the Exposition. He informed me that Charlie O'Hara had charge of the Registration Bureau and would be able to give me the list of Brentwood visitors. We walked over to the Regis- tration Building and were admitted to Charlie's private office. I would scarcely have known Charlie, so changed was he-over six feet tall and large in proportion. He had entirely lost his diffidenee and had the polished manner of the thorough man of the world. He seemed delighted to meet an old school- mate. and was very much interested in hearing of my European travels C in which country I had been traveling for the last five yearsl. Our conversation necessarily had to be brief. as Charlie was a very busy man with few spare moments on his hands. He brought me the register and Mr. Lewis and I soon succeeded in finding the names of the Brentwood contingent, which was as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wallace Jr., Doctor Morgans. Mr. and Mrs. Earle Shafer, and Ray Shafer. i Having looked through the list and copied down some addresses, we left the building. We had only gone a few steps when my attention was attracted by a young lady who suddenly quickened her steps as if she had seen one whom she recognized. For a moment I did not speak-it couldn't be Miss Baird. my old English teacher? Yes, it surely was. That same old smile as of old greeted us. Entering into conversation I learned that she was no longer Miss Baird, but Mrs. -, and that previous to her mar- riage she had been one of the assistants in the English department of the University of California. Upon inquiring from her what she knew concerning the welfare of the Brentwood people and especially the former pupils of Liberty Union High School. Mrs. - CI can not remember her new name. so will call her simply Miss Bairdj informed us that she had just received a letter from Miss Baur in which she had spoken of a reunion of old Liberty Union High School pupils, which was to' be held in the parlors of the new Brentwood Hotel on the following evening. Mr. Lewis at once suggested that we get up a crowd and go down. Miss Baird and I readily agreedand we arranged to send word to as many' of the Brentwood vis'itors as we could reach. Before parting Miss Baird asked us to accompany her to the Agricultural Building. where she said she had something to show us. This turned out to be an .- exhibit of immense potatoes whieh we learned mueh to our surprise had been raised on a farm near Brentwood. owned by no less a personage than our old friend. Ray Wallaee. This was evidenee enough that Ray had turned out a jolly good farmer. -Iust. as we turned to leave the building we were met by the smiling faee of Robert Wallaee. IIe was looking very happy. and we soon learned why. for he was on his honeymoon. and he and his bride were enjoying the fair to the utmost. During our conversation Robert told us that he was still living in Brentwood. in faet was the leading lawyer in that town. We divulged to him our plan of going to Brentwood the following day for the reunion. and he gladly assented to go. I now took leave of Mr. Lewis and Miss Baird. Early next morning the party assembled at Six- teenth Street Station-Mr. Lewis and his wife. Rob- ert and his wife. and Miss Baird. The others were to follow on a later train. Connection by eleetrie ear- line had been made between Brentwood and Oakland and the trip had become a delightful one. As we passed through Contra Posta County we noted the wonderful growth whieh had taken plaee. Small villages had become bustling townsiit was surely wonderful. At last. we reached Brentwood. I eould seareely wait until we reaehed-there. so anxious was I to see this town-the home of my ehildhood and early girlhood, At my first glanee I was almost stunned. Could this be little Brentwood? It had changed from a small. dull town to a flourishing r-ity. We all rushed from the ear and began looking about. The tirst wonderful building whieh greeted our eyes was the beautiful new lirentwood llotel. whieh was built in the old mission style. Feeling strange and sadly at a loss where to turn. Mr. liewis suggested that we should walk up to the new City llall and have a look at it. VVe entered the building. and as we passed through the halls we glaneed in at the otiiee doors whieh stood open, and in one of these offiees whom should we spy but our old friend.George Barkley. VVe did not recognize him immediately. so 1-hanged was he. Ile now wore a full beard and a serious faee. not that ever-smiling fare as of old. Ile rushed out to greet us, and after making some inquiries he informed us that he was now oeeupying the honorable offiee of Mayor of Brentwood. He then most kindly showed us through the building and afterward insisted on taking the whole party to his home to luneh. ln this way we met his wife, whom we remembered meeting at one time when she was visiting in Brentwood. After dinner George took us for a ride in his touring ear and we had an opportunity of still further beholding the great ehanges that had come to Brentwood and its vicinity in ten short years. As we were passing one large ehieken rant-h George ealled our attention to it and asked us to guess the name of the owner. After vainly guessing he satisfied our euriosity by telling us that this beautiful raneh was owned by Morgan Sehroeder. our former jolly sehoolmate. As it was now growing late we returned to town. As we rode - ff through the main street of Brentwood two large signs eaught my eye. On one was inseribed Arthur Murphy. liutelierfi and on the other. Harold Anderson tk Co.. Leading Departnient Storeug so here were two of our former friends accounted for. We ate supper at the Hotel Brentwood and then withdrew into the spacious and beautifully furnished hotel parlors. there to await the eolning of the other guests. VVe spent the time in waiting by merrily ehatting of old times. and ere long the guests began to appear. The first to arrive was Earle Shafer, who eame in smiling and as handsome as ever. We were not surprised to learn that his wife was no other than the one to whom he had been devoted during all his high school days. VVe soon learned that he had established beautiful undertaking parlors in Brentwood and was in every way very successful. Next came our old friend Ray Shafer. the same Ray. and yet quite f-hanged. He had grown and was now large and dignified and extremely businesslikeg and why should he not be? for was he not supervisor of this district and had taken quite a part in the im- provement of this county? A Suddenly we heard a familiar laugh which Miss Baird immediately reeognized as Miss Baur's. and so it turned out to he. She rushed through the door and joyfully greeted us. NVe learned that she was living in a little bungalow in the hills of Brentwood and was devoting her life to bringing up three little orphan boys whom she had adopted. Little by little the other guests were assembled. Of eourse our conversation turned immediately upon olden times and what the former Liberty Union High School pupils were now doing. Our old friend, Willie Mor- gans, talkative as ever. informed us that he was now a full-tledged doctor. and that being so well known in this section of the country he had been enabled to build up a large practice. He said that he was now handling a very difficult case, but that the patient was getting along nicely under the vigilant and ten- der care of Addie Knight. who was now a trained nurse. Because of the seriousness of the case she had been unable to attend the reunion. Robert Wahace and his wife were there and he and Esther had lots of fun joking about old times and old-time romances. Esther was living in Antioch. the wife of the leading druggist of that city. Esther disclosed the secret of lllarguerite Geddes' engagement to a young minister of Brentwood. who had recently graduated from University of California. Many of our old schoolmates had changed a great deal, but in none could we discover so great a change as in James Barkley. He had assumed all the dig- nity and seriousness which becomes a minister of the gospel, for such he had become. At this time he was holding a temporary position as pastor of the Brentwood Christian Church. but was soon to leave for his new field of work. having accepted the pastorate of one of the largest churches in San Francisco. He told us that he was in connnunication with our old friend Tva. who was at this time a mis- sionary in China. alone at the present time. but not to be so for long. for a certain young man was soon to Join her and together they intended devoting their lives to Christianizing the heathen Chinese. Mean- while Theodore Cakebread had been asking Mr. Lewis for some advice in regard to disciplining a high school. Of course we knew then that Theodore had fulfilled the promise of his youth and had become a learned professor. He said that the high school pupils in the Brentwood High School were not nearly so docile as we had been. but then of course we were unusually good. Someone im- parted the interesting news that Minnie Sheddrick had married a prosperous farmer and was living happily with him on a large ranch, in the hills. This reunion called to our minds the housewarm- ing which had been given in the High School build- ing under the auspices ol' the Woinan's tllub. and at mention of the club Bessie Collis spoke up and told us that she now held the position of president of Brent- wood lmprovement Club. She also told us that she heard quite frequently Csecond-handedi from our old friend Zilla. who was now teaching schoolw- teacher of history in the San Jose Normal. Now since learning into what paths the Fates had led those present at the reunion we naturally were curious to learn the whereabouts of the missing ones. There were a number of these. among them lieonard Dainty and Millard lliffing but their absence was soon accounted for. Just a week before a large circus had exhibited its wonders in Brent- wood and the owners were our old friends Millard f and Leonard. I was able to account for the absence of Edna Ileek and Irene Davis. The former I had met in Rome and had since received word from her that she would not return for a year. I had heard that Irene Davis was in Washington acting as pri- vate secretary to one of the members of Congress. Every one present had heard of the great fame of .loe Barkley. who had turned out to he the leading author of the age. Ilis latest book entitled. The Smaller the Body the Greater the Mind. was creat- ing a great sensation. A beautiful hand-painted china rose-bowl which was sitting on a table near at hand recalled to my mind the fact that I had re- cently heard that Katie Murphy had become the most famous painter of china in New York. She hafl opened a studio there and was unable to accommo- date all the pupils who desired to take lessons from her. Last. but not least. we learned that Frank Bonnickson had become a mechanical engineer and was at that date employed in constructing the larg- est railroad bridge in the world, and that Camille Sresovich was astonishing the world as a great actress. It was now about midnight and we withdrew into thedining-room to partake of a bounteous repast which had been prepared for us. After much hilar- ity some toasts were 'made to the health of the absent and the future well-being of the present. and at a very late hour the party broke up. As some were to leave on an early train the next morning our farewells were spoken before we left the parlors. and many were the hopes expressed for another reunion in the near future when all-not just a few-of our old Liberty Union High School friends would be present to greet us.

The interest taken in the students by the Wo1na1i's Club. who have helped provide for a tennis court and have presented us with a pennant, and who took the housewarming in hand. is a great encouragement for at better showing on the part of the students in social matters. The business men of the surrounding towns have been almost unanimous in responding to our wants for ads. showing that they are really interested in our welfare this year and that the High School has a place in their thoughts. With the school spirit which has been shown throughout this year revived again next year. the best wishes of the business men at heart and the kind encouragement of the VVoman's Club. there seems to be no reason why we shouldn't start in a new epoch in our social life. Heretofore our social Ndoingsn have amounted to at dance, a picnic. three commencement programs, a dinner for the ball players, and the housewarming. This has taken six years, and could easily have been done in one year. A dance during the year and one at connnencement. a farce or drama. at few public debates-we intend to organize a debating club-and an inter-scholastic meet could be easily arranged during the coming year. Especially would something of the latter nature create interest and make for the Liberty l'nion High School a school spirit to be proud of. This year. owing to there being no regular grad- uates a program was not arranged in time for the Annual. but a splendid one has been arranged. Next year there are brighter prospects for a graduating class and for a brilliant commencement. So let the student enter in all school undertakings with a spirit and make all sit up and take notice when they hear us shouting: VVho are we? VVho are we? Liberty linion. can't you see! Rah! Rah!
