Wisconsin What s Money F'or'P “To Spend” answers the foolish young man, who would have said, if he interpreted his thoughts correctly—“To Squander.” There is a difference between spending money and squandering money and that difference is exactly represented by a savings account in a bank. We don t advice anybody to save money that they really need to spend, but we do advice everybody-especially young men and young women-to save whatever small portion of their earnings that they are tempted to squander. IT IS AN EASY THING TO DO. You can start a savings account with one dollar, and the hardest part of anything is the starting. The young man or woman who follows this advice will some day be very glad that he happened to read this article in that popular sheet “The Ahdahwagam.” Wood County Nat’l. Bank GRAND RAPIDS.

The Honor System. In schools where the honor system has been tried and proved successful, it has been a great lienefit. It has proved a success in the best schools, and has generally proved a failure where tried by schools that had no faith in it. This system is a method in which the pupils are put upon their honor by taking a pledge before writ- ing their examinations. In this pledge or oath they promise to neither give nor receive help, and to re- l ort all cases of dishonesty that they may see. No instructors are present, and the pupils are put en- tirely upon their honor. One of the general objections to this system is that the students are put in a jtositinn where cheat- ing is made easier. ('heating is often carried on without thought on the part of the pupil of the seriousness of this offense. But when this pledge is taken, they realize that their character is deter- mined by the keeping of it. In most cases this eliminates cheating because the seriousness of it is made clear to the student. Another argument againt the honor system is that it would l)e impossible to cany it out in a school of so varied a class of students. But the high school is the place where the tmining for future life should l� e firmly established. Responsibilities should he as- sumed at this age in preparation for life after the high echoed. If responsibilities cannot lie assumed in the high school, will it lie possible to assume them immediately after leaving school? In our present system the honest and dishonest are watched alike. But when the instructors are not present, the honest pupil has the op]x rtunity to prove his character, whereas that of the dishonest is discovered. In this method the guilty are often detected more quickly than in the old system, and they can improve their character by a little atten- tion. so that it may influence theirentire future life. The character of our honest pupils must lie devel- oped and that of the dishonest changed. Surely the honor system would help to bring this about, and certainly there are enough honest students in our high school to insure the successful trial of the system. Lyda Nelson Eva Lind. The Value of the Reading Table. Myron Hill '14. The students who use the muling table daily do not realize the value that it is to the school. They do not stop to think that very few schools have such a complete reference library in the current issues of the leading magazines. The school is at a great expense yearly in provid- ing magazines for the table. The magazines are held in heavy, transferable covers, which gives (hem some protection in their constant use. The maga- zines are all kept, and later bound; but some of them are sadly torn and marked after they have served their time in the main room. This is the way that the magazines are used. They are thrown from desk to desk and even on the floor. If some ridiculous picture or cartoon is shown many boys cannot resist the temptation of attacking some one’s name in pencil or ink. Many times a boy gets a good magazine and keeps it in his desk for his own use. This is a selfish practice, and many magazines with their covers have been lost as a re- sult. It is something to lie remembered that the girls know how to use the magazines as they were meant to be used. The gotxl things derived from the reading table are many. Of course, its greatest value is the num- ber of references that can l e found. The magazines furnish references for nearly all of the composition work done in the high scheel. The fact that the copies are saved from month to month makes it I ossihle to find a reference in a hack number with very little trouble. Then the reading table furnishes a corner for se- creation outside of school hours. During the noon hour especially, the supply of magazines is scarcely equal to the demand. With these thoughts in mind, let us hope that the reading table may be used with a little more con McMlLLAN MEMORIAL LIBRARY WISCONSIN RAPIDS. WISCONSIN fi 'I' H E A H I) A H VV AGAM sideratio� for its finer qualities. It is to 1m hoped, that, in the future, we may learn to use the maga- zines in a more careful, thoughtful way. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should write on the subject of reflections and resolutions because this is the time of the year when we look back over the past and cry over spilled milk. How- ever there is no value in reviewing the past, except as we may profit by our mistakes and the mistakes of others. Two of the most common causes of regret are our hasty actions and quick tempered replies to our friends. A thoughtless word or action on their part is often constructed by us into something which they did not mean. You can not be a true friend of .anyone’s if you allow your temper to get the letter of you and cause you to say or do things which you will regret later. The old time worn statement that announce of prevention is worth a pound of cure applies to this case as though made for it. Little hasty hateful remarks are the ones that are most difficult to explain, and they are the ones that hurt the most. Let us resolve to con- trol our tenqjers during the ensuing year. It has been said that a wise man is the man who does not make the same mistake twice. How- ever there are many of us who will not accept this truth. We modify it to fit ourselves. We say that a wise man is the man who does not make the same mistake more than six or eight times. In a wellknown light opera there are some lines which run thus: •• Resolutions: yes, we make them: Not to keep them, but to break them. For we’re only poor weak mortals after all. These three lines have summed up the facts ex- ceedingly well. The average i rson decides be- • tween Christmas and New Years exactly what his faults are. Then pricisely at 12 o’clock on New Years Eve he tries to al olish all his bad habits and to form new angelic ones to take their places. Imagine carrying your arm in a sling for two months and then deciding that on the 42 day of June you will have great physical strength in it. In the meantime you still continue to carry your arm in a sling saying that there is no object in taking it out of a sling until the night of the 41 because you do not want it to be strong until the 42nd.” This is the way w e do with our Inal habits that have l een forming for years. We decide that on January 1st we will put them aside and will form new and good ones. It is absurd, ninety-nine out of a hundred people really attempt to accomplish just such things, as regularly as the first of January comes around. A ltaby can break two or three strands of silk which are wound around him; yet with many strands you can tie the strongest man ami after you get him tied, a baby can release bin. How? By taking always one little strand after another. So it is with habit; you cannot break it all at once, but if you go at it right and break it little by little you will soon 1m free. It has l een said that unless you rid yourself of habit entirely you do not get rid of it at all: for if you take away the h you still have a bit—and if you take away a— you still have a bit— left. If you take away that b you still have it—and if you take away i yon still have t which is in itself a very bad habit; so you see that you must do away with everything. Another thing and then my lecture is ended. Do not Iw too ambitious alsmt forming new habits. Stop, to think about them and if you form slowly and deliberately you will build a firm foundation for a character which will la lasting. When you play, play hard: when you work, don’t play at all.” This splendid motto, which was given to us by Dr. Evans of Ki|xm college, should 1m memorized and put into effect by every student in high school. Mr. Evans’ speech came at just the right time, at the lieginning of a new semester. The students were just lieginningon their new work, and were full of resolutions and thoughts of work- ing harder. When you study, study hard. Leave all play out of your thoughts, and do nothing but study. It is surprising in what time a ] erson can get a lesson, if he really studies. There is no use of studying in a half-hearted manner. It is the same with amuse- ments. When you are playing, play for all there is in you: enjoy yourself all you can. and do not let troubles, studies, or anything interfere with your playing. Do not do your studying and playing to- gether. or you miss them both. It is the person that knows the distinction between these two. and how to do each, that will succeed. As the |M ople become more educated, we hear a much less talk on how a i erxon gains more by work- ing than by going to school. The great number of examples around us to the contrary, show this state- ment to be untrue. What if a person makes a couple of hundred dollars by leaving school and going to work. The man with an education will earn twice as much in one half of the time. It is the man with the trained mind, ready thought, and scientific methods who counts t Mlav. The days THE AHDAHWAGAM 7 u ben the brawniest man draws the largest wages are past: it is the man with an educated mind that counts today. A Sleigh Ride Party. It was the afternoon of the twenty-second of January. The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, and sleigh tolls tinkled merrily while happy sleigh ride parties drove up and down the streets. In the parlor of their luxurious home were seated Thomas Brown and his sister. Marjorie. Both seemed busy, and for a long while neither spoke. At length Thomas arose and putting aside the l� ook he had l een reading remarked. “I have finished one volume of the set of lxx)ks and I think it is tine. 1 hope the rest will prove as interesting. Marjorie, who had not paid much attention to this remark walked toward the window. There goes John Smith across the street, she exclaimed. Do you think that he will lx? one of our party to- night?” Thomas did not reply but rushed out and stopped his friend. Alter several minutes he returned with u jubilant face, Yes, Dick and his sister will enjoy the sleigh ride with us tonight: we are all to meet at Mr. Gray’s at seven o'clock and each of as is to bring lunch. We shall leave as soon as everything is ready. We shall certainly have a pleasant evening, replied Marjorie. It is half past five and we must l e getting ready. When Thomas and Marjorie arrived at the meet- ing place, all of the rest of the party excepting Anna Brooks, the daughter of the village parson, were al- ready there. The clock struck seven, still she did not come. The young people grew anxious and worried. Half an hour passed and yet she had not arrived. The driver l eing disgusted at having to wait, told him that he would wait no longer. The young jieople decided to go. and were very happy with the exception of two or three who were worried atout their friend, wondering why she had not come. At lenght they were off. The roads were in fine condition and the horses barely seemed to notice that they drew a load. The stars were shining brightly and a full moon was illuminating the earth far and wide. The driver who was well acquainted with the roadways made the horses run along swiftly. An exciting incident followed. At an abrupt turn in the rood, the sled tip] ed and the lunch which had l een placed in a secure corner of the sled, fell out. What was to to done? One of crowd suggested that they g � to a large house on the hill. All agreed and the whole party climbed bock into the sled and drove on. Here we are, ” shouted the driver. The young people did not hesitate but jumped from the sled and walked to the front of the large white house. The same lx y who had suggested that they stop at the house, knocked. The door opened. A cry of joy followed. Oh dear Anna, how does it happen that you are here, Why didn't you come with us? Marjorie exclaimed. The rest of the party were invited to enter and were soon enjoying themselves with puzzles, games, etc., which they spied on the table in the rear of the room. Anna indeed was surprised at their coming. I suppose you would all like to know how it happens that I am here. Well, I will tell you. This is the home of my grand-parents and it was their wish that I stay with them this evening, so I could not refuse. At that moment Anna's grandmother entered the room. She was greeted by merry voices. She ex- pressed her pleasure at their coming and ho|)ed they would enjoy the evening. Marjorie told Anna the reason for their coming there. The maid was ordered to prej are an elatorate meal for the jiarty, which was greatly appreciated. At eleven o’clock they departed for their homes and it was reported that this was one of the most joyous of sleigh ride parties that they had ever had. Olga Buerger T4. The Culture of Cranberries. Fern Searls '14. C ran lorries were first found .growing in North and South America just as we find blueberries grow ing today, except that crantorries grew in swamps. In those days the jieople picked the berries for their own use just as we pick bluetorries for our own use t xlay. There were two varieties: the crantorry bush and the cranl erry vine, the latter toing the kind that is cultivated today. After a time people l egan to cultivate the cran- berry vine by irrigating the marshes upon which the vines were found growing. By doing this the torries l ecame much larger and of a better flavor. In the irrigation of one of these marshes, it was found necessary to have a reservoir to hold the sup ply of water. From this reservoir several main canals were dug through which the water might flow. Then side ditches that branched off from these canals were dug. through which the water might be more evenly distributed. These side ditches cut the marsh into sections, so that each section was sur- rounded by these ditches. Then there were the bulkheads, that connected the reservoir and the main canals and the different sections. When these were dosed, water was kept on the sections, and 8 T HE AHDAHWAGA M when opened, it was allowed to pass off into the other ditches and from there into the main canals. There were also dams between these sections. The large dams were on each side of the main canals, and the small dams were between the small or side ditches. In times of frost, the marsh was flooded by allowing the supply of water in the reservoir to flow down the main canals, and from there into the side ditches. By doing this the .surface of the marsh was covered with water. Fires were often built along the dams on frosty nights in dry seasons when there was not much rain fall. The lorries were rij e enough to l e picked alnmt the first week of Septemlier. The picking was done by hand, generally by Indians. The length of the picking season deluded upon the size of the crop. The lx rries were picktsl over on tables which was very tiresome. The owner of the marsh disposed of his crop by peddling the l� erries around the country in alsjut the same way that some farmers ) eddle their potatoes and other products today. Today the eranl rry is extensively cultivated in several northern states, esjjocially in the Cape Cod region, which includes Massachusetts and New Jer- sey. and in Central Wisconsin. A cranljerry marsh of today somewhat resembles one of the earlier cultivated marshes, except that many improvemente have l een made. For instance there are pumping plants, cranberry rakes, fanning mills, and picking over machines. If one desires to start an up-to-date marsh today, it is necessary to have, as a foundation, a soil of muck or peat that can Ire drained for al out twelve or eighteen inches below the surface. A large sup- ply of water Is needed so that the marsh may l� e flooded at will. The marsh is fiist laid out in sec- tions, each section containing al out one or two acres and sometimes only half an acre. Between these sections, the main canals and side ditches are dug. Then there are bulkheads that connect the different sections, which when closed will allow the water to pass off into the other ditches and from there into the main canals. There are also da ms between these sections. The large dams are on each side of the main canals, and the small dams are between the side ditches. There are two reservoirs: one to hold the supply of water that has l een drawn off from the marsh by a pump, and the other to hold the water that is to lie used to flood the marsh. A cranberry marsh is not planted from seeds, but by transplanting the vines. These newly planted vines yield a few lierries in a I x ut two years, but do not liear a full crop for five or six years. The best vines can Ik distinguished by the wiry texture of the wood, and the greenish brown color of the leaves. The j oorer plants are greener, bright er, more vigorous, and have a bushier foliage. Many jieople think that there is not much work in keeping up a cranberry marsh, but they are mis taken. The canals and ditches have to lie cleaned twice a year. One would Is surprised to see the large water lily plants that have to Is� taken out. The roots are very long and are often us large as a man's fist. The grass on the dams has to lie mowed, and new sod put upon them, and one has to keep a continual lookout for the holes dug through the dams by muskrats. Great damage would l e done if these leaks were not discovered in time. Con siderable weeding has to In? done, for wild sage brush, cut grass, feather flue, pitcher plants ami other grasses tend to outgrow the cranl erry vine if not taken away. The owner of the marsh has also to contend with the danger of frosts, which occur in spring, occasion- ally in the summer and in the fall. When there is danger of a frost, the bulkheads are all opened. The water then flows down the main canals into the ditches. In this way the surface of the marsh is covered with water, and the vines are protected froyi the frost. On up-to-date marshes there are pnm] s to force more water onto the marshes if it is needed. It is very interesting to watch one of these pumps in motion. The vines l egin to blossom alxmt the last of June and are in full blossom about the eighth of July. The flowers are of a delicate pink color, and look something like the flower of the blueberry. About the first week of September the 1 jerries are ready to be gathered. They are not fully ripe then but they ripen later. Berries gathered early keep better. The crop is gathered by men. women and children, who make a practice of gathering the lierries every fall. It is very interesting to watch a crowd of these people when they arrive. On the marsh that I have reference to. some of these people (young people) come from the neighltoring towns where they are employed as domestics or clerks. When they come, they bring and wear their very best clothes. They make a dash for the buildings, which have lieen pro- vided for them, toselect their rooms. Their baggage is brought on a 1k x -ar. which is switched off on a side track. These pickers work together in sections, and are watched by an overseer. A good picker can pick from two and a half to four bushels a day. Oc- casionally one can pick five bushels a day. These ]HM ] le are paid fifty cents a bushel. The men are engaged as rakers to rake the lorries in those sections of the marsh wheie there is much cut grass. It is almost impossible for hand pickers to work in such sections. 9 TH E AHDAHWAGA M Them rakes are altogether different from the rakes we use in our yards and gardens. They are box-like contrivances. On the Uottom of the rake is a row of long steel teeth aUmt ten inches long, a quarter of an inch apart. There is no side perpendi- cular to these teeth, and only half a side on the top. There are two handles to this rake: one comes over the top, similar to the handle on a loasket, and the other is a stout stick that extends out from the back of the rake. These rakes are heavy and it takes a strong person to handle one. A good raker gathers from ten to twenty bushels a day. and is paid by the day. A dance hall is provided on the marsh for the en- tertainment of these people. The musicians, who are furnished, play every night from seven until half past ten, but on Saturday nights the pickers are allowed to dance until twelve o'clock. These dances are necessary, as some form of amusement has to 1 furnished in order to break the monotony of the picking so that the pickers will stay until the work is finished The length of the season depends upon the size of the crop. After the lorries are picked, they are put into crates, and allowed to dry in a drying house. They are not picked o er for two or three weeks after the nicking season. Then they are looked over by girls. The e are two long table-like structures, on each of which is an endless strip of carpet. These strips are kept in motion by an electric motor. Aliove this room is tin c anberry mill, which is run by the inofo and a hopper. The hopper is a loox-like con- trivance into which the berries are emptied. From here they are itassed over a grader, which assorts them int � three different grades. The assorted beiries then fall down onto a series of steps, called jumpers, that empty them onto the moving strips of caT)et. The girls sitting at the table, pick out the poor l enies as they pass along. There are little pockets on either side, into which they put the i oor Dairies. The good lorries drop into a barrel, which is at the end ot the table. As soon as the loarrel is full, th • top is clamped on by a luirrel header, and the label is paste.l on. With one of these modem mills. a'M nt two hundred luirrels can loe picked over in a day. .lust as s x n as the lorries are bar- reled. they ;ie put into refrigerator cars and shipped. Sane peo tie think that the expense of keeping up a can I terry marsh is not very great, but they would lie surprised to know how many improvements have to be miulc each year in order to keep the marsh in good condition. It costs from one hundred and twenty five to one hundred and seventy five dollars to plant just one section. Then there are other things needed. It is necessary to have at least two cranberry houses, a drying house, a tool house, at least three or four buildings for the pickers and rakers, a cook house, store house, dance hall, and the two pumping plants. A house. Itarn. and other huiidings are also furnished for the man and his family who stay the year around on the marsh. The pickers are paid fifty cents a bushel for the lierries they pick, and the rakers are paid from ♦ 1.7ft to $2.2ft a day and their board. It costs altout ♦ .00 a barrel to get the lierries ready for market. The 1 terries are sold for $0.50 to $8.50 a barrel, some times they are sold for more than that. The yield of the Wisconsin crop was this year fifty thou saml barrels. History of Grand Rapids. Jeannette Daly. Grand Rapids is located on the Wisconsin River in the central part of the State of Wisconsin. The city was called Grand Rapids because of the rapids which were tamed through out the Northwest Territory. Wisconsin became a state in 1848 Grand Rapids was founded in 1843. Before the white people settled here, it was an Indian village My great grandfather. Joseph Wood, one of the first settlers, came to Grand Rapids in 1843. The county of Wood was formed between 1843 and 1845 It was named for my great grandfather, who was the first county judge and the first assemblyman to the State Legislature S we of the early settlers were the Neeves, Lyons, Rahlins and Garrisons, who were in the lumber business Mr Seth Reeyes was the first Mayor of Grand Rspids Mr I L Mosher was the first county treasurer Thr, first two lawyers were Mr. J D Witter, who gave $50,000 for our Manual Training school, and Judge Webb The first store keejter was Mr Thomas B Scott who had a store where ihe Wood County National Bank stands at the present time His store was a small shanty The counter consisted of rough hoards laid across Itarrels Mr. Scott gave the T B Scott Free Public Library to the city The first white child ltorn in Grand Rapids was Mr. H A Sampson, now living near the Court House His father was a pioneer saw mill man. The Neeves owned a saw mill locat- ed just altove the present Northwestern Railroad bridge The group of small islands is all that mark the site now The first school house stood on the vacant lot across from the Mathis home on the coroner of 8th and Baker Streets The second school house stood on the grounds of the present Howe School When the Howe School was erected, this building was moved over to the Lincoln grounds and used for many veirsas a county fair building. It burned later The Howe School was built in 1878 It was called the Howe School hecause Ly- man Howe gave the city funds, which enabled them to build it It was the High School until the Lin coin was built in 1902 The Lowell School on the West Side was built about 28 years ago I he principal industry of Grand Rapids was lumbering The old Centralia Pulp and Water Power mill was built in 1888 There was a saw mill near where the brewery now stands As the lumlter was cut out. it was floated down the river in huge rafts. The first railroad, the St Paul, came in 1873. The Green Bay and Western railroad came in 1870 The North Western was built into Grand Rapids in 190 • Our industries have developed un- til we have four railroads, a street railway, a Hour mill, two furniture factories, a foundry, the Badger Box ami Lumber Company mill, the E W. Ellis mill, th� Consolidated mill and an electric light and water works system The first disastrous fire occurred in 1872. It wiped out all the huiidings along the river bank from the Library to the Witter House The great est floods that ever occurred in Grand Rapitis came in 18 7. 1 Sti4. 1880. 1881. 1900. 1905 and 1911 The 10 T HE AHDAH W A G A M worst«� f these was the flood of 1880 which washed away the main street of the town Cables were attached to buildings and every available means was used to prevent the buildings from being washed away. In spite of these precautions the flood took a hardware store, the old SpatTord and Cole building qnd a boarding house Huge logs, trees, and other debris floated down main street What is now the East Side Market Square liecame a rustling torrent and the current was as swift at that point as it was in the main channel 0r the river One man. Mr Furgeson. was drowned in this flood. In the fall of 1881 the water rose to within 18 inches of the flood mark of the previous y ar The Mavor ordered a dam built along the river bank by the Library and less damage was done by the high water In the Spring of 1888 the wagon bridge whs taken out by an ice jam. In the old days the houses were all clustered around the mills The first Court House stood where the brewery now stands The old Magnolia House was the principal hotel It stood where A L. Fontaine s home now stands It belonged to my great grandfather whose home stood where that of his son, F. .1. Wood stands at present Thu Mag- nolia was the only hotel between Portage and the little village of Plover All supplies were hauled from Portage before the coming of the railroad The people ami the mail traveled by stage from Portage to Grand Kapids Some la er hotels were the K.ihlin House, built in 1868. which stood where the Library now stands, and the Koach House At the corner Of Oak and First Streets there was a frame building occupied by the old music hall, a «tore, and a bank In 1868 there was no bridge across the river A ferry ln at which was run by Mr Henry Hablm carried people across. In one day the boat brought 400 Indians and their ponies across the river The first bridge across the Wis cousin river between the East and West Sides was a wooden structure It was a toll bridge and Mr William Bell was the gate keeper. Mr Hell was janitor of the Howe School for at least 25 years. The Neeves home, «here the E W Ellis residence now stands and the home of inv grandmother on the corner of High (Third) and Vine streets weie th only houses on that street in 1858 Even in 1800 the town was very small. The settlement on the west side of the river was called Centralia until 1800 «hen it united with Grand bapids The first Catholic church services «ere held at the home of Mr M .1 MeBaitli in the old house .cross the street from the present Catholic Church.

Mullen wrote the following notice: The co-partnership heretofore resisting lietween me and Pud Welch is hereby resolved. Them what owe the firm, will settle with me. and them that the firm owes will settle with Pud. At the meeting of the Senior ln ys on the twenty- first. they were notified by Mr. Sheafor. that they would have the pleasure of appearing before the main room sometime Isifore the spring vacation. Here’s looking for something good and out of the ordinary in oratorical lines. What some of them will most likely talk on. Johnson- How to catch and cook minnows. Mathis The art of changing marsh lands into sand hills. Weeks What I know about Stevens Point. Nat wick The Curfew shall not ring tonight. Mohlke—Modern Fussing. Spencer C. Desdomona's Revenge.

The majoiity of the class ordered r ings. The Girls Literary Society. There have l een a few small, though noteworthy changes, which have taken place in the Literary Society, of which the meinbeis are justly proud. They appointed a very able memtier, Miss Dorothy Brazeau, as their president for this year, and she is in a great measure responsible for the interest taken in the meetings. The society is also greatly indebt- ed to the two advisors and critics. Miss Snyder and Miss Stitzer. who have given up much of their time to help make the meetings successful. Perhaps the most noticeable change is parlimentary practice, and this is new work to a great many of the mein tiers. At each meeting, a few minutes are given to this and the time is greatly enjoyed. Parlimentary practice is something everyone ought to know a little about. A jierson has to have at least a work- ing knowledge of it to properly conduct an ordinary business meeting, and in this way. it is invaluable. Debating is being taken up gradually, and although the society has not done very much as yet. they hope to accomplish something in that line this year. The society is on the whole, a more pro- gressive and interested body than it has ever lieen liefore. Society Reporter.

Again we are assem bled at school and greet each other with cheerful faces. We have crossed the threshold of the old year and left it behind with all its joys and pleasures, sorrows and cares. A re- view will not only recall to our memory bright and delightful days, but also dark and gloomy ones. What the new year has in store for us no one can tell, for the future is a book yet unwritten. Let us be prepared to meet whatever adversities may con- front us. The new year has a deep meaning for all of us students. In this year there are liefore us possibilities. We may, in respect to our studies, idle away our time, or we may make proj er use of it. We may acquire knowledge, or we may stand still in that respect. We knew from the l egining that we should have to work diligently. On the other hand, if we make proj er use of our time and con- stantly strive to acquire knowledge, we shall in the course of time derive great l)enefit from our work. Therefore, let us in this year make new resolu- tions and l ear in mind the object of our presence at school. If we do this we may certainly l x� k for ward to good results at the end of the school year. Junior Class Play. .lust l efore Christmas vacation the Junior class was called to meeting in the Physics Laboratory. It was suggested that a class play lx given. The difficulties and hard work that would go with such an enterprise, were discussed, but still the class as a whole was in favor of having a play. Those who wished remained after school to try out for parts. The following were chosen: Myron Hill. Harold Balicock. Walter Stamm. Leonard Hatton. Berna dette Schlatterer, Marguerite Ragan and Caroline Schnabel. The title of the play is. “The Elope- ment of Ellen.” It promises to lie an amusing comedy, and as it is the first attempt of this kind that the Juniors of this High School ever made, we hojie it will lie a succe� Praedices have already begun and it is planned to give the play lx� fore Lent. Some Questions to Juniors. Juniors, do you realize the fact that each of you is a member of the staff and that you should l e interested in its products the “Ahdahwagam?” Do you think that when you paid your subscription, your obligation to promote its success ceased? Have you e er conti ibuted anything to biighten up its pages, or have you l een nothing but a ciitic? Have there not been times when you could have contributed a poem, a joke or a story? If not. why not? We do not wish to display theliteiary merits of certain students. We want everyone to con- tribute material for our paper. If you Juniors feel you have not done your duty in giting your shaie, you will find the “Ahdahwagam” mail l ox in its usual place, or the reporters will always be glad to take material.

I am standing on the historical point of old Coney Bluff, leaning on the liarrel of my shotgun, which had previously been put to good use shooting rabbits. A bright, sharp, wintry morning lia«l just dawned, and as the sun shines on the forest and snow covered meadows beneath me. they si arkle like crystal. Close at hand to the left, protected from the wind, lies a small Indian camp: the smoke of the morning camp fire is rising thickly and slowly through the still morning air. Beyond this magnificent valley of woodland and glen, in the hazy distance, towers another range of bluffs known as Sharp’s Hidge. I lower my eyes to the valley again and behold a stream now frost- bound, winding its way picturesquely through meadow and timberland. Here and there are little clearings which tell of the work of recent settlers. I now extend my gaze to the right of my position, and as I do so, the distant sound of axes comes to my ears. I look more closely and discern what seems to be a small village, but it is only a lumber camp, and the gang have just commenced their work of destroying the forest that is affording me this beautiful scene. T stand drinking in this valley scene for what I think a short time, but a look at my watch convinces me that it is a good half-hour. Ltake another good- bye l x)k and turn reluctantly back into the forest, arriving at ramp in time for breakfast. L. F. Brost. Tracing the Course of a Stream. Harrison Kruger. One day when I was out for a walk in the hills and woods near our farm. I happened to find a small stream. 1 thought it would lie interesting to trace this stream back to its source. From where I stood I cound not see a great dis- tance in any direction, as the timber and brush were very thick. The land was quite low and marshy, and the banks of the stream were covered with a think coat of moss. The country is rocky and the bed of the stream is worn between the rocks. As I gradually worked my way up the hillside, the country became more opes, and the ground was covered with grass. Here the stream was swifter and narrower, with a great number of sharp curves. After I had gone up a short distance I came to a level tract of land, where the stream was deeper and filled with small minnows. Here and there the stream curved around a large rock or tree. At these curves the stream was quite deep, and I could see small fish swimming among the water lilies that grew in the stream. As I went farther I could see paths coming down to the stream, where rabbits and other small animals probably came to drink. Farther on among the hillocks I found i aths where deer had crossed the stream. At last I climlied a small hill and there found the source of the stream. It was a small spring between two large boulders. From my position I viewed the surrounding country and as it was just sunset the colors of the forest and open country made a very pretty scene. At just that moment I heard the supper horn, and had to hurry home, or be late to supper. Star Recitations. Miss Post Howard, what is specific gravity? Hoddy “The attraction of the sun for the earth. Sophomore in Ancient History— Alexander con- quered one country but he wasn’t satisfied—be con- quered another country and wasn't satisfied, and after he died he wasn’t satisfied.” Zeke Kruger in Physical Geography- “Fresh air is sometimes called ether and is used instead of chloroform.

Look in your coffee cup. “What do you think I did today?” “Give it up.” “I whispered across the aisle and Mr. Kell didn't see ine.” Freshman—“What is this i olygon the Sophs are always talking about?” Junior—“A polygon is a bird of the parrot family.” Freshman “I see. Hope you won't look down on me for not knowing. You see, we Freshmen are not so well educated as you Juniors.” Junior (condescendingly)—“Oh. that’s all right.” Did you hear alx ut the accident George Babcock had?” “No.” “Well, he was watching a game of pool—had his head close to the table and one of the players ] oked him in the head with his cue.” “Oh. that was a natural mistake. JOSH Loyd Welch has invented a new scheme to see how many eggs his chickens have laid. The other morning he was heard saying. All you chickens that have laid an egg, raise your hands.” Claire Mathis is considered the bright light (?) of the Ame:ican History class, but he sometimes gets his words twisted. Awhile ago they were discus- sing the patroon system in early New York. He said that it was the platoon system of government. Once he was asked what great tribe the colouists fought against in King Phillip's war and replied: “I think it was the Indians. ” The following answers were taken from exam papers: A blizzard is the inside of a hen. Oxygen is thing that h «s eight sides. The cuckoo never lays its own eggs. A mosquito is a child of black and white parents. Turkey is asking for piece, and the Bulgarians will not give it.
