Special Someone wishes to inquire in liehalf of the class if Miss Snow would not give us | enman- ship lessons after school. We feel the loss of our daily exercise. The New Year. 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. A Good Decision. There was a voting Tow-Head named Chester Who in class played the juirt of a jester When Baldauf did say “We’ll excuse you to-day,” lie resolved he would never more | ester.

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.
