ghost noticed Clara Davis in the white uniform, assisting one of the surgeons. Will l1e pull through? she asked the surgeon. Yes, with your help, was the reply. The ghost did not linger but began the long way back to its resting place, satisned with what it had seen on its journey and anxious to meet ghosts of other classes and- tell them of the splendid successes of the girls of 1909.

But these reflections were brought to a close by the appearance of a young woman carrying a huge bundle of books. The ghost recognized the fast walk but murmured Su'rely this cannot be Mrs. Donnelly still going to school, but still I do remember having heard that she had acquired an infatuation for it and seemed unable to stop. A short distance behind her was Arlie Fleming, her arms loaded with text books and note books on psy- chology and logic. As they walked on the ghost gained from their conversation the following information :-Rhea Moore hav- ing made a success of her music, study- ing in Kansas City and being tired of refusingTHE man decided to make that place her permanent home having a bun- galow next door to a certain other admir- er of K. C. I-Ier old roommate, Margaret Schiltz had entered a convent and was now a nun. Carrie. Collins had become a renowned concert player and was now touring the East. As they were entering the University, groups of students were discussing the new branch of learning- conversationology, which was being plac- ed in all the higher colleges by its founder, Miss W'innifred Warren, the famous NVoman Conversationalist. Loud screams from the atheletic grounds caus- ed the ghost to return to the outside again. There were a number of young ladies dressed in bloomers and short sweaters on the field. They were ap- plauding their coach, 'VVinnifred Olmstead who was advising them as to the best methods to use in winning a game of basket. ball. The ghost hurried on. It was quite dark now and in the large crowd it was easily seen that the most of them were going into a theater. The huge colored board outside satisfied the curiosity of the ghost. Marie Krebs, Impersonator. Another '09 girl leading a public life thought the ghost. The next place was Hot Springs and in passing through the city the ghost was attracted by bright lights and music issuing from a ball room nearby. As the window was reached the music ceased and everyone began fanning and moving toward the punch bowl. The dancers fell back to- ward the walls as the next dance began -a graceful figure floated out to the strains of the waltz, her feet scarcely touching. the floor, so light were her movements. Helen Vaughan Babcock still dancing sighed the ghost. The long distance between I-Iot Springs and Ft. Scott gave the ghost time for reflection in regard to Mary Rice, The college senior of the class, I do hope that she has lived up to my expectations . .The river near,Ft. Scott was crossed and the ghost passed into the city. It did not take long to find Mary, in company with a young man who appeared quite devoted. Married, and after all the hopes I had for her, Its terrible to be so dis- appointed. The ghost then turned toward Colorado thinking of the remaining girl of the class.

GLHSS PO Tell me not ' EW! in mournful numbers Knowledge that perha L. C. does not educate the m'nd, Just to prove 't ' ' A 1 c 1 , Ill point you To th ' e class of 1909. Life is real! Life is earnest! And a credit is our aim, Must keep at it, must have it, But We never crib to gain. Lives of great men all ' remind us, lVe shou'd 1 never kill our time, But, departing earr ' , y with us, Knowledge blissful and sublim 6. ps a Junior Bending patiently and late Over logic terms and syllogisms, Flatly fails to imitate. Art is long, and time is fleeting, And this year Will soon slip by, ,Have your iill of fun and nonsense, For the end Will bring a sigh. Trust no future h , ow e'er pleasant, Pleasant scenes now U ,reet the eyes, Senior privileges are our pastimes, 'En'o d 3 ye' only by the wise. ' In the world's broad field of battle, When a l' c iploma ends the strife, Just remember that ' as Seniors You enjoyed sweet peace in life. , Let us th en be up and doi i 1 U83 .And greet the world with pleasant looks, For our school days will soon be oier And We'1l hav ' e harder things t f o ace than books.
