LE COMMENCEMENT Be not like him who eats the peach And then forgets the tree, The traveller upon the ship Who never thanks the sea; But when you read what others wrote, Please reck the work it took The staff to skirmish up the stuff And make it in a book. There ' s every thought in order— The poetry and prose From simple grinds and business adds, To rhetorical flows. Throughout, there is a harmony Betwixt the moan and laugh- Now promise—When you compliment You wont forget the staff. The Staff Itself. MANSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL.

These people are entitled to a separate room and a comfortable place to eat their dinners. Instead of this they have to leave their dinner boxes with their coats and hats in the various cloak rooms of the building, none of which are too large, then at noon they are sent to the study rooms where they spend the noon hour in uncomfortable seats and in the same atmosphere that has been breathed over and over again by the pupils occupying the room in the morning. Is this healthful and is it fair to the dinner pupils ? Thus, notwithstanding the fact that they must eat cold lunch, they are compelled to remain in comparative discomfort dur¬ ing the entire dinner hour. The Literary Societies of M. H. S. seemed to have dropped below the horizon of their local record. The rhetoricals of the separate classes are carrieJ on the same as when under the head of a Literary Society, and the plan of the program has only digressed a little from the old rule, so on the whole we are able to see no depreciating effects of its departure. The fifteen commencement speakers were chosen by the teachers from the thirty elected by the class. The names are Hazel Hipp, Emma Warring, Marie Brunk, Ruth Hursh, Samuel Garber, Vulah Greenlee, Helen Webber, Donald Willis, Walter Schlegel, Leo McCollough, Charles Stevenson, Carl Oberlin, Mary Dunham, Howard McDaniel Valedictorian, and Edna Swartz Salutatorian. A great many numbers by the Glee Club quartet, together with solos both instrumental and vocal have been arranged. 1 he theme of this years commencement which is to be held June nth will be on the noted centennials. We wish to thank our Advisory board Miss Holland and Miss Feldner for their cheerful and valuable help given to us, the staff, in the publishing of the Annual. We also are very grateful to Mr. Beckett and members of the commer¬ cial department for their assistance in typewriting the various manuscripts. They not only aided the staff but showed their effeciency and materially aided the printer who will remember them with the kindest of thoughts. Owing to the state law, fire escapes have been provided for every room in the building: although they are a great improvement over the old way of exit they do anything but improve the appearance of the exterior of the building. — 8 — THE ANNUAL During the year the different classes have assembled in the auditorium to lis¬ ten to many noted speakers many of whom gave us rare treats a fact which ought to be appreciated by us all. Among the most eminent were Gov. Hanley, George R. Stuart, Dr. C. C. Miller of Lima College, Rev. J. C. Roberts, of Wapakonetta; Dr. M. E. Bates Pres., of Hiram College and Mr. Weston the world famous walker. Rhetorical exercises of the different classes are no longer held in the auditor¬ ium but in room No. 24 which was the girls basket-ball room. Seats have been put in and here Miss Swaim holds sway. For this reason girls’ athletics have been discontinued. A new social feature of the Senior Class is the party which we are giving to ourselves at the Masonic Hall on the twenty-eighth of May. Considerable attention has been paid by the board and by the Superintendent to Manual Training and Domestic Science. We hope that it may be of some con¬ sequence and that at some future time not far distant that this useful and impor¬ tant branch may be established in our Public Schools. Athletics this year have proven to be a great success and we are indeed proud of ourselves. The board so kindly gave their consent and now that we have shown them how excellently we can do, we hope that they will favor athletics the coming year, for since we have been able to do it once we can surely ' ' keep the good work up.” Were there a rule of the Board of Education compelling girls to wear their hair in that style commonly seen about M. H. S., necessitating the going without hats, a greater excitement and opposition would be raised than that caused by the Whitla Kidnapping Case. It has been said,” To some men happiness means three meals a day and a place to sleep. To others getting the proper shade on a meerschaum pipe.” But we all know this does not apply to Mr. Hall. To come upon him some day dreaming of a nice quiet little stream where they bite good, radiates happiness even to the sorrowing mortals who stand aside patiently awaiting excuses. We wish to call attention to the contributions of our advertisers, to whom we are very thankful for their monetary aid. Also, we wish to thank the teachers and pupils for their advice and kindly interest which has so materially aided us in our work. The teachers who were here last year have written us from various places: Miss Carson is teaching Mathmatics in the High School at Duluth; Mr. Holmes and Mr. Blankenhorn are in the west, Mr. Holmes having charge of the commercial de¬ partment in the San Diego High School, and Mr. Blankenhorn teaching English in the Pueblo High School; our Science teacher Mr. Agler is Superintendent of Schools at Kingston, Ohio; Miss Waugh is a teacher in the grades in - 9 - THE ANNUAL Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. Downend our former drawing teacher, is Supervisor of Drawing in Sandusky, Ohio; while Mr. Miller, who formerly taught mathematics here was last heard of from Bellvue, Mich. The lime for graduation has very nearly arrived. Although the Seniors pre¬ tend that they are glad to get away from the school, nevertheless, there will be many times when they will long and wish for the good old times in M. H. S. Now, there is fuss and excitement, for the girls are planning dresses; and boys, from what we hear, are very nearly as fussy over their clothes as the girls. But this will soon be over, and after things have quieted down a little, our thoughts, that our good old High School days are left behind, will be sad rather than glad. The board have recently remodeled the room in which they hold their meet¬ ings. It has been done with an eye to taste and comfort which can be seen in the beautiful frescoed walls, rich furniture, and revolving leather chairs. A good thought to keep in mind is that of not running do wn your own school. It is a great temptation when things don’t go right to get “the little hammer” out and pound awhile. But to outsiders it does n’t sound well. Many times it gives them a false idea of the school, and soon they begin to pound a little and thus the story grows until it becomes a mountain, when perhaps if sifted down, the truth consists in but a grain of sand which went to make up that mountain. Members of Glee Club are: Soprano Lucile Graham, Hazel McCormick, Hazel Hammett, Margaret Tanner, Agnes Jackson, Ethel Heiser, Floy Campbell, Helen Brown, Nellie Meily, Maude Jones, Hazel Mclntire, Edith Ettinger, Mildred Moorehouse, Hazel Hipp, Helen Webber, Tenor Jim Carrigan, Wm. Black, Robert Shireman, Lorian Cook, Vance Judson, C. Patterson, Bass Leo McCullough, Lee Hoffman, Martin Jeliff, Jud Cox, Walter Oswalt, Frank Cave, Alto Blanche Miller, Emma Waring, Marie Evans, Helen Whismore, Estella Arras, Helen Jennings, Hazel Lapham, Edith Leppo, Under the directorship of Prof. Bellingham, the High school concert was given in the Congregational church on April 30. After the rendition of Mendelsohn’s 42 Psalm, in which Miss Margaret Lindsey, a graduate of ’08 took the solo part, a miscellaneous program of ten or eleven selections was given. The concert closed with the vocal rendition of Blue Danube Waltzes by Strauss. A fine orchestra of twenty pieces selected from the members of the High School orchestra and City Band accompanied the choruses. All the choral work was done by members of the Junior and Senior classes on account of the voices of the members of the younger classes being too immature for such work. —10— THE ANNUAL DISCONTENT ’Tis well to live life unconcerned anJ simple to its close — To never know world’s many sides, its triumphs and its woes. ’Twill do, to be fate-satisfied, to smile and murmur not, To run tho gauntlet of the times contented with our lot. But something grander, aye sublime is it to feel our power, To contemplate what ' s gone before and link it with the hour. To find the dross in life that is, and then espouse a cause, To criticise in discontent—to find and mend the flaws. Not long ago l dreamed a dream, about the human kind. I dreamed them back a million years; I saw them in my mind. The prototypes of what we are— and all we hope to be— I saw them in communion in the branches of a tree. Each face among them wore its grin, and showed no mark of care, They worried not about their way, they wore no clothes but hair; They ate what nature chanced to grow, and swung among the trees. They toiled not, neither did they spin—their lives were joy and ease. They knew not of their history, nor did they care to know, They troubled not with pro and con—the false and what was so— But on they lived their simple life, in peace and grand content, Man lived and died, and no one cared the time he came or went. Then 1 redreamcd the million years, and searched for progress made “Alas, conservatives, alack! ‘Twas more than retrograde, Thro ' rank content, a million years had left them monkeys still, A grinning foolish race of men without a brain or will! But 1 awoke. Beheld the truth. They really did advance! Who can not see it must be dead, deluded, in a trance. They have advanced from naught to much, from darkness into dawn; Their discontent had set the pace—their progress followed on. Where mere passivity is king, felicity’s unknown. No good can come from reaping where another’s hand has sown. True bliss is found in labor, in the struggle, not the prize; Let discontent assign the task - let bliss materialize.

TEACHERS Professor Hall was feeling grand, His smile was sweet, his manner bland. “ Why should 1 worry much 1 thought he, “With our teachers for company. Just think of kind Miss Reuss,” he mused, She ne ' er was known to be confused, But with appearance calm and wise Can either help or criticise. In Margaret Feldner she has gained An able partner, tried and trained; A woman with an eagle eye Which can in deepest secrets pry. Miss Simpson always does her best To make us brilliant at the test. Her first aim has been to secure Knowledge of French and Literature. Professor Marting now has won Eternal thanks from everyone; For, by his skill and sacrifice, Athletic games have turned out nice. Miss Felger and Miss Snyder, too, Are to our interests always true, While of Miss Swaim, we ' ll always claim That she could show the way to fame, For she well taught how to debate, Or to discuss affairs of state. There is a teacher in our school Of pleasant manner, hard to fool, Full of Science, hair is wavy, Do you know him? (Professor Davey), He is a good man on explanation, But sometimes likes a short vacation. —14— THE ANNUAL L Miss Miller with her winning smile, Serves Latin up in fancy style, Or if you further knowledge seek, She will soon burden you with Greek. Miss Moore, so quiet and demure, Of many friends may be quite sure, For who could well forget the aid Which she has given to boy and maid. Professor Baldwin is quite sincere, Full of humor and void of fear; Miss Jenner, maid of mystery, Explains civics and History, And by her unassuming ways, Wins for herself deserving praise. Miss Aberle performs her mission, With kind and loving disposition. Miss Abbott helps where’er she can, And so is always in demand. Professor Bellingham prolongs Great pleasure by his numerous songs. Miss Edwards with her drawing lessons Has made favorable impressions. Miss Holland has won lasting favor By her help with this school paper. Miss Garrison with her winning way, Helps Latin classes every day. In Beckett we have gained a man Who does the very best he can, And takes an honest upright way, To make his studies plain as day. No wonder H. E. Hall feels great, As he considers every trait; No wonder he is heard to state, Our teachers have been picked by fate. —15— THE ANNUAL MISS HOLLAND, Mathematics. MR.

Through the hours long and weary— We at times think school a bore; But in future years these hours We shall never once deplore. Do we not within these portals, Settle questions of the day. Which are tantalizing mortals, Mortals, made of finer clay? Do we not dispose of these things:— Women ' s Suffrage and her right? Finance, Standard Oil and Statecraft, Or the Presidential fight? When our boys are old and feeble, And have nothing else to do, They will sit around on boxes, And those good old times renew. Then they’ll tell precocious youngsters, How they studied all so fme With their only time for pleasure: Playing on the base-ball nine. How they were the all-star players— Basket-ball and foot-ball too: How they whipped the other fellows, As their reputation grew. And the girls in caps and kerchiefs, Spectacles and snowy curls— Will talk over while they’re knitting, Their good times as High School girls. How in bygone days they labored— Sometimes far into the night; Working wildly at their Latin, German or their French polite. Chocolates few they ate and never Longed to plunge in social swim; Went to bed at sharp 9:30— And but seldom talked of “him.” Then the children, wide-eyed, wond’ring Think it surely must be fine— To have gone to Mansfield High School In the year one-nine-naught-nine.

SHIREMAN COLEMAN TODD JAMES CARRIGAN WALTER OSWALT —30— I THE ANNUAL We started out as Freshies,” so wondrous and so wise, We had a store of knowledge, conceit looked through our eyes; We faltered not, nor fainted at problems great or small. We’d started out to conquer and had no fear at all. As Sophomores we paused a bit, some clouds obscured our view, We found along our pathway, some things we never knew, But still with faith and courage, we battled firm and strong, Our teachers brave, and cheerful, encouraged us along. And next year we were Juniors, hope filled our very soul, The battle was half over, we soon should reach the goal, But darkness gathered round us, dense ignorance hemmed us in, Determined yet, we faltered on, still hoping we might win. Past struggles were forgotten, we’d reached the Senior year, But with awakened knowledge, ’twas with a sense of fear; We’ve fought so hard for wisdom, in this battle of four years, It blurs our very vision, it blinds our eyes with tears. So here is to the Freshman, so confident and wise, And this is to the Sophomore, whose knowledge still I prize; Another for the Junior so faltering and weak, Last of all the Senior, now grown so very meek. In visions of past failures, in retrospection’s view, I see myself included, in all Fve said to you; Cheer up! the vision brightens, and hope yet sees a star, We’ll go forth yet to battle, ‘‘fetch knowledge from afar.” We’ll bring such stores of wisdom, won from our triumphs here, The way will open for us, our visions grow more clear; So comrades, fellow pupils, fight on until the end, And take these words I leave you as coming from a friend. ALVERDA ARMSTRONG. — 31 — THE ANNUAL HISTORY OF OF THE CLASS ’09 One morning in September 1904, when autumn was just beginning to display her radiant hues, we embarked on a vessel called the M. H. S. Upon entering, we were called Freshmen by all the higher classes and were well enough satis¬ fied to own even that verdant title. We organized a class and held several meet¬ ings during our Freshman year. Then came a release of a few months and we found ourselves drifting along the tide of the Ocean of Knowledge. Soon the time came for us to resume our studies. At this stage of our journey we were called Sophomores. No more were we pointed at and called by the notorious name of Freshmen. The ones who belong to the higher classes now began to show much esteem and respect for us. How proud it made us feel! We held several class meetings during this year also, and began to feel the necessity of study for the purpose of attaining knowledge. Though we had many blue Mondays, or even whole weeks, we patiently performed our tasks. This year was marked by the formation of a literary society which tended to display the talents of the var¬ ious members of the class. These meetings, unlike the former rhetoricals, which were held in the auditorium, took place in the study room on the second floor. The fleeting time passed by and again we became released from the long strain of diligent study for a few months. Ere we were aware of it, however, we found ourselves entering into a still higher station in life, being given the beloved title of Juniors. During the latter half of the year we honored the class which had already attained that highest title, the Seniors, with a reception, trying hard to make it a success. It is needless to say that we held quite a few class meetings during the year. Once more came a short rest from our mental strife, and scarcely before we could realize it, we had received the respected, honored, and 32 THE ANNUAL dignified title of “Seniors.” We had by this time learned to study in earnest and with a much greater zeal than heretofore. The Juniors prepared a reception for us which was thoroughly enjoyed. This was the main event of social import¬ ance, which our class as a whole, enjoyed It is almost useless to say that our class meetings, during this year, were somewhat frequent and irregular. The pilot of our ship, Mr. Helter, and the captain, Mr. Hall, together with their assistants, have gained our friendship by their kind counsel and excellent in¬ structions and by various ways in which they have aided us during the stormy days of our journey. A very short time ago, our pilot and captain notified us that the “Harbor of Success” was in sight. We all went on deck and saw, for ourselves, that this was true; and, though we had become attached to the dear old M. H. S., we were anxious to anchor our vessel and land. During the first year of our journey, death visited our crew, taking our dear friend Lucile Wolfe from us. The next year death again came to us “with his sickle keen” taking from us another, in the person of Henry Brinkerhoff. Dear memories of these two members of our class will ever remain with us. Thus, though our number was somewhat decreased, as many passengers as ever before crossed the Ocean of Knowledge in the vessel of M. H. S., landed one bright day at the Harbor of Success, ready to enter upon life’s great expanse beyond. Maude Jones. — 33 — THE ANNUAL I felt a yearning come o ' er me To see my dear friends of ’09. So, dropping my business affairs, And thinking the time fitly spent, 1 boarded a train for the west, And was soon on my mission bent. First, stopping off at Chicago, 1 was much surprised to hear That Mr. Edward Palmer Was a doctor for the ear. I thought I’d call upon him, And old friendships renew, So 1 took the elevated car For Columbus Avenue. When ! jumped aboard the car, A well-known form 1 saw, For who should the conductor be But a man named Roger Au. We had a chat about old times, How at school we used to dream, But suddenly there came a crash, And women began to scream. We all were in great danger; The car had jumped the track And was heading for the pavement And a solitary hack. But destruction was not due us, For the car caught on a wire, And balanced there above the street, One end eighteen feet higher. — 34 — THE ANNUAL A long rope ladder then was brought, By people on the street, And thrown up to the mid-air car, Our only safe retreat. I was the first one to decend, And as 1 reached the ground 1 heard an old familiar voice, An old familiar sound. I turned and grasped the speaker’s hand, The man knew me, I guess; For it was Robert Shireman, A reporter for the “Press.” As he was a city reporter, He had much news to relate And 1 listened with attention ’Till the hour grew very late. He stated that John Sheets Was an athlete of great fame; Emma Waring and Lotta Branch Had long since changed their names. ' Of course this much surprised me, But the next I couldn’t stand; He said that Lorrain Cook Had joined the German Band. Marie Brunk and Leo McCullough He said were on the stage; Blanch Miller was in Vaudeville, And was surely all the rage. I then went with him to his home, Where, with great courtesy, He led me to his wife, and said, “ No doubt you remember Marie?” She also had some news to tell, And this was the way it ran:— Ethel McFarland and Elizabeth Phenning Were missionaries to Japan. And that Lucile Gorham Was quite a suffragette; Maude Jones had run for office And was prob’ly running yet. She also knew Mae Heunerfauth, Had entered married life, While it was said Mae Shively Now made a loving wife. — 35 THE ANNUAL Next day a circus came to town, And we thought we’ed take it in, For Bob said the owner Was Carl Oberlin. Upon our way to see him, Near a hardware store we came, Where Showers and Ernest Shaffer, Were making quite a name. We also met Ed Palmer Out walking for his health, He said that Eva O’Hearn Had just acquired much wealth. It seems she had invented A real complex machine, Which would tell to any person His affinity and queen. While waiting for the general show. We wandered to a tent, In which were advertised the twins, Who aroused so much comment. When they came out to do their stunts, All in their jewels bedecked, We gave a shout of wonder, They were Merle and Merz Pecht. When they discovered who we were, They said that Amy Brown Now did a tight-rope walking act; Mark Bell was still a clown. And also Vulah Greenlee Had been hit by cupid’s dare; John Morgan was renowned For his marvelous skill in art. We went to the performance, Which was a great affair, And Carl came out to greet us When he learned that we were there. He asked about the folks at home, And 1 soon told him all, How first, that Helen Leuthner Now ran a dancing hall. Next that Edna Endly Taught Latin, Greek, and French, And that Charlie Stevenson Had married Nelly Fensch. 36- THE ANNUAL He asked about Don Willis, And I was forced to say That Don and Irene Krebs Had eloped and run away. However, Howard Harding Was doing very well; In fact he did most everyone That in his pathway fell. Of teachers in the schools We could boast of quite a few, ’Stella Arras, Helen Webber, And Ida Metcalf too. Will Friend was head professor, And lived in fancy style, For Marie Evans had consented To be his wife awhile. Ruth Hursh and Hazle Lapham Still lived within our town, And led the best society For many miles around. That night 1 traveled further west, And had no cause for fear, For l found that Oscar Schaller Was now the engineer. He said that Vera Costard Had gone to Tennessee, Where she had become the founder Of a new Y. W. C. A. Rhea LaDow conducted A large school in matrimony. And because of her experience Was making lots of money. On reaching my destination 1 stopped at Hotel Banner, Of which I learned the owner Was Miss Margaret Tanner. She said that Bertie Armstrong Was now a well trained nurse, And that Raymond Lantz Was driver on the hearse. I learned that Russell Jelliff Was playing good base ball, While Reba Ackerman intended To visit Europe in the fall. — 37 — THE ANNUAL As a leading novel writer She had won deserved success, For her skill was made apparent In our Annual M M. H. S. Going up to Salt Lake City On my quite eventful journey, 1 saw a sign which read “ Otto Patterson, Attorney. I found him in his office, He was cast down with remorse: His wife, nee Mildred Morehouse Had sued him for divorce. He told me Herbert Ditwiler Ran a Salt Lake Bowling Alley; Helen Jennings was a Doctor And lived in Utah Valley. He had heard from Mary Ritchie, Who owned a farm nearby, And lived upon its profits, Which by chance were very high. Will Black was posting bills In a western mining town; Vance Judson was a preacher, And used to tear them down. I again took up my journey For San Francisco town, And there 1 chanced to meet Nelle Meily and Helen Brown. They had returned from Cuba, No trip could have been finer, For Jud Cox was the captain Of their splendid Ocean Liner. When 1 reached the best hotel 1 hunted for the barber, And was much surprised to find That he was Samuel Garber. He told me that James Carrigan Was quite a wealthy banker; Frank Cave was on a battleship That had just come to anchor. Pearl Barr and Mary Berry Were touring through the west; Lee Hoffman wes a chauffeur And was ranked among the best —38— THE ANNUAL I called on Stanly Ozier Now a mining engineer, Who had gained a lot of fame In the preceding year. He said that Hazel Hammett Had music on the brain, And had but just escaped From a place for the insane. I asked about her trouble And he told why she was there: It seemed she’d lost her mind O’er a school day love affair. While taking a walk together We passed a candy shop Which belonged to ’Stella Weaver So of course we had to stop. She said that when a Senior She ne’er was tired of candy, So she went into the business And could always have it handy. I now came back to Cleveland, Where Marie Kuebler stayed, She led the best society And was quite a handsome maid. 1 called upon my schoolmate, And in her chat she said That the books of Helen Enos Were now quite widely read. And that Edith Ettinger Had quite a reputation As an Anti-saloon worker, Along with Carrie Nation. Edith Houstin spent her time Selling rugs throughout the state: Vernon Kern was on a railroad, And was fireman on a freight. As a pretty fortune teller Agnes Jackson showed her wit, Floy Campbell sang Grand Opera And was making quite a hit. As we walked along together The fire bell broke the quiet, An engine clattered past us, An ambulance behind it. — 39 — THE ANNUAL A block ahead we saw the flames Roll up the smoke in clouds Flats and many lives were doomed, Horror seized the crowds. Above, a cry for help arose, A woman there was shouting; Suddenly a fireman brave, Was climbing up the spouting. We held our breath in great suspense, We knew the man, I guess- For it was David Brucker, Our chum of M. H. S. Dave had reached the window, Tied a rope upon the sill, And crawled into the building, The crowd was not quite still. In a moment back he came, The girl lay in his arm, And down the rope he slid And soon was safe from harm. We joined the crowd in cheering, But great was our surprise To find Hazel McCormick Was David’s rescued prize. The owner of the building Was Hazel McIntyre, And she came ’round to tell us The reason for the fire. Some High School Physic books Had on the table sat, And as they were so dry They set fire to the flat. In the crowd that had collected l saw Helen Whissemore, Who said that she was traveling For a millinery store. She told me Edith Leppo Had joined a circus troupe, And on her rollerskates Now did Loop-the Loop. And that Ethel Heiser Was stenographer at Court While Delilah Berger owned A new Summer Resort. —4o THE ANNUAL I a And on my return to Mansfield, In my evening news I read That Miss Hattie Kalmerten Was Salvation Army head. It also said Frank Painter Was football coach at Yale, James Leonard was a Sheriff, And had charge of County Jail. And that Bertie Ackerman Sold groceries as of yore; Edna Swartz was clerking In a large department store. I read a letter from Bob, Who told some additional news, He said that Walter Oswalt Had gone to shining shoes. Also that Mary Dunham Was writing popular songs; J. Pittenger was a socialist, And told of people ' s wrongs. Howard MacDaniel was a pitcher, And made others fan the air, While Coleman Todd was known As a clever poker player.

JUNIOR POEM O ! say, can you see with memory’s eye That September morning three autumns gone by, When each of us rose, contrary to rule, Several hours too early for the time set for school? After eating my breakfast in feverish haste, And blackening my shoes, and scrubbing my face, I headed my footsteps toward Mansfield High School, Firmly resolved to obey every rule. The first few days we were swept along In the current of a merry, jostling throng; Trusting to chance, which is often unkind, To conduct us to the class-room, which for us was asisgned. The sermons of the Principal only lent Material for our still greater bewilderment. Upper class-men took fiendish delight In ridiculing us in our plight. But the most conspicuous of all our cares Was the necessity of descending those abominable stairs. For our toes or our heels were sure to get caught, And then ! O my ! Our awful lot. But as days wore on, our verdure wore off, And soon we became accustomed our hats to doff. A year soon passed and a card we got Stating, whether we were Sophomores, or not. All passed too soon, our three months vacation, Which was soon augmented by compulsory VACCINATION But after the scare we were all much elated By receiving the news, “You are reinstated.” As Sophomores we put on more airs; And laughed at the Freshmen, who, tumbled down stairs. Entirely forgetting those memorable days, When all the rooms, to us, were an intricate maze. Another September morning rolled around And on the Mansfield streets it found A smaller crowd, than that, which two years before, First enttred Mansfield High School’s door. And, as we passed along the street, Many strangers we did meet. Were we then such “funny-faces ?” Ah 1 But circumstances alter cases. Did not higher class-men, two years ago, Sneer and tease and call us so ? But alas ! Poor little girls and boys, We will not mar your hopes and joys. Our Junior year is almost past. For many, next year will be the last. And then we’ll be launched upon careers Which have been shaped by these school years. RUSSELL HARBAUGH. —47— THE ANNUAL HISTORY 1910 k Honk ! Honk ! came down the line as the leader of the four autos started off. The two preceding ones followed smoothly and easily, while we, all jammed into the green auto, puffed along jerkily, unevenly, and bumping at every turn of the wheels; for this was the first trip our machine had made and we, the occupants, were unaccustomed to such travel. Some even attempted to jump from the car while it was going, but in spite of all this commotion, we soon were settled more comfortably for our long look for¬ ward to journey, and were even traveling more smoothly. For a while we found it impossible to keep on the main thorough-fare and were constantly getting lost on the by-roads, at which other cars were greatly amused, but in spite of all the jeers and taunts we kept boldly on. The number of our auto was “ 1910 ' although some insisted it should be higher. Later when we were just getting on to the swing, a terrific storm burst upon us known as examinations. We immediately put on extra pressure so that we might at least reach the passing grade before its fury had entirely enveloped us. But soon our guide (Mr. Hall), who was traveling ahead in his private car, called back that we had reached our destination. At this glad news there was many a sigh of relief as we piled out of our dingy, broken-down car to leave it forever. The next journey was not so tedious as the previous one had been, for we traveled along uneventfully, even taking in some of the scenery and enjoying it at times. We were soon on our third journey next to the “ 1909” car. But we had very little time to inflate our tires as, almost all the Junior cars have been accused -48- THE ANNUAL of doing even to the bursting point. For we had many hills to climb and bridges to cross, winch many insisted on crossing before reaching, and many rough roads to plough through. For instance, Hill Cicero seemed so very steep and dangerous that some becoming faint-hearted and light headed, preferred to reach the top on ponies, these equestrian trips having been made before up the Latin Heights. We might have had a serious break-down, had it not been for the timely assistance of I a kindly-faced, gentle-toned “ Miller.” Geometrical problems frequently punc¬ tured our tires and our progress was so slow along the German and French Roads, that it was suggested we might have sand in the gear box. As we gazed at the “ 1909 car which seemed to have surmounted all ob¬ stacles and to have made all precipitous places in safety, we became envious at the facility with which they sped along. Toward the latter part of our third journey along the Educational Road, we stopped at a restful way-side inn, where we invited those in “ 1909 ” auto to stop as our guests. By this diversion we were enlivened and enheartened to go on the remainder of our journey, even though we heard the rumbling of the distant storm (examin¬ ations.) Ellen I McLean. —49 THE ANNUAL After long and anxious waiting, the time for the Junior, Senior Reception finally arrived, but the Seniors were amply rewarded for their wait, by the magni- flcience of the affair. On entering the main hall the guests were welcomed by the receiving com¬ mittee, and the cordial hand shake given them made them feel immediately at home. Besides the committee, Mr. Hall and various members of the faculty wel¬ comed the visitors and escorted them to the auditorium which under the skillful hands of the decorators presented a most pleasing appearance. The ceiling was festooned with bunting of green and gold, the Junior class colors, and the front adorned with pennants. The lights cast a mellow glow over the entire room and the soft strains of the orchestra gave the visitors a feeling of pleasant anticipation. The attractive programs of green and gold, which had been presented at the door, announced that the evening entertainment would be a representation of Oliver Goldsmiths five act comedy ' She Stoops to Conquer ' Rebekah MacDaniel gave a most realistic portrayal of Mr. Hardcastles beauti¬ ful daughter, Kate, and Judd Colwell as young Marlow, her lover, played the part in a manner that showed a careful study and much natural talent. Ruth Guenther, as Constance Neville, and Russell Upson, as Hastings, Young Marlows friend and suitor for the hand of Constance, showed a thorough under¬ standing of the parts and acquitted themselves with much credit. George Blecker, as Tony Lumpkin, brought shrieks of mirth from the de¬ lighted audience, and proved himself a comedian of no small ability. Judson Super and Ruth Gadsby as Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastle played the part of the old folks well. Harriet Nail took the part of the maid, and Earl Schuler played in turn the parts of Sir Marlow, Stingo, and the servant; Tom Scott, Rio Judson, and Earl Pollock impersonated the parts of the inn loafers. The entire cast seemed to grasp the meaning of the author and it was cer¬ tainly an All Star n company. As the curtain fell at the close of the last act, Mr. Helter made a few choice remarks, in which he complimented the players, in particular, and the Junior Class -50- THE ANNUAL ! i ■ I ■ ■ = in general, and assured Miss Svvaim of the audience ' s appreciation of her effort in coaching the players. Charles Stecker, president, next made a neat and witty speech welcoming all in behalf of the receiving class, and invited Mr. Helter, followed by the Board and Faculty to lead the way to the Banquet hall. This room with its decorations of green and gold, the numerous electric lights [ with dainty shades of the same color, the beautifully appointed center table with its candles and silver, and the exquisite gowns of the t dreams,” made a most at¬ tractive scene, and one that will long be remembered by those fortunate enough to be present. A delicious buffet luncheon was served by the Junior boys, of which all partook heartily. The favors were complimentary to the Seniors, being a unique copy of their class pin in black and gold. After luncheon the guests wandered over the building, and the fellows lucky enough to possess that great prize a 41 steady sought out the alluring cozy cor¬ ners and punch bowls; for a quiet little half hour in the transformed basket ball room. Others found enjoyment around the piano in the auditorium where class songs and rag times made the halls ring. The Board, Faculty and students mingled together, talking and chatting and, all in all, the evening was one of unalloyed pleasure. On all sides were heard complimentary remarks for the Juniors as entertainers. But even this could not last forever and as some glanced at their watches the pianist struck up the popular air “ Your in the Right Church but in the Wrong Pew, M and with many good wishes and congratulations to the Juniors the com¬ pany departed. -5i THE ANNUAL —52— THE ANNUAL OFFICERS OF SOPHOMORE CLASS.

We took our stand as strong and ambitious Freshmen, for we knew full well that the Freshmen Class forms the foundation for the future success of the High School. As the Freshmen is, so will the Graduate be. We took our stand as a class one hundred and eighty in number. Of these one hundred and fifty continued the struggle and were so victorious as to be this year swelling the ranks of the Sophomores. We have never met socially as an entire class, yet each one seems to be having his full share of social life. We have never had but one class meeting so far this year and that was for the pur¬ pose of organizing, but we are obtaining plenty of parliamentary practice in our Parlimentary Law Classes. As a class we have been very interested in Athletics, some of our members being actively engaged in them. This is only a part of our history. Among the members of our class are those who will some day become the makers of history, but they would not relish it to have the full story of their future days told at present .

His head was big with learning His hat was number eight Alas my friends, I’ve got it all For learning you ' re too late. I ' ve gobbled up the Latin My belt is full of Greek; My face is full of Rhetoric My brain doth fairly leak. Hand in your resignations, Go forth and learn a trade: There is no learning left for you With the corner 1 have made.’ ' Then up there spoke the Junior, “Alas and then alack: 1 wondered why through all these terms, My forward course was back. And then piped up the Freshie, “Te he! Te he! Te he! If you ' ve copped all the learning There’ll be no work left for me. But the Sophomore with good judgement Just hit him on the head, For he knew there was no truth In what the Freshie said. HELEN ElCHELBERGER ' ll. —59 “ THE ANNUAL —60— THE ANNUAL FRESHMAN OFFICERS.

We, the most important class of the High School, started to High School one bright morning, the 8th day of September. The day before this a few of the Freshmen, or rather a few of the girls, had congregated at a certain house to de¬ cide on the momentous question, of whether or no, they should first appear at M. H. S. in a hat. So, having decided in favor of this, they started out with slickly brushed hair, and stiffly starched dresses. The boys were also immaculate, with brightly polished shoes, and in many cases, wearing for the first time, with a smile of satisfaction, long trousers. Well, at exactly ten minutes past eight, the time we always started to the grammar schools, we started for the dreaded High School, but when we saw that mass of yelling students congregated in front of it, we held our breathe in fear and waited, well, it seemed hours but was in reality only fifteen minutes, until they had passed into the building and we could make our entrance in safety. We then wrote the course we were planning to take and left to purchase our books. The second day we were to make our roster cards, and, after several hours had slowly passed, we completed them at last. The few succeeding days of the week were spent in finding our way to our different, and it seemed to us, numerous rooms. Of course, as generally happens, most of us got lost, and, upon asking an upper-classman the way, were directed wrong and then laughed at, but this is simply the making of a Freshman. Later, as we became more accustomed to the long halls, small cloak-rooms, and immense study rooms, we would strut about after the fashion of a small boy who has just learned his A, B. C’s. and insists upon spreading his knowledge abroad. After we were settled, and were having our recitations regularly, we could study the ways of the upper-classmen. We also learned not to jump when the signal rang, and not to glance up at each person entering or leaving the room. If we chanced to meet any of the children , who were still occupying a place in the grammar grades, we would talk very mysteriously of Latin, Algebra, and other high-sounding Freshman studies and would be repaid by a look of awe as we hurried by. Our next business was to get acquainted with the teachers, a few of whom we already knew, and liked. Then, after a short time, came our Exams,” and many of us Flunked,” as is the usual thing for Freshmen, but it is probable that by the next exam our eyes will be opened, and we will pass into our Sophomore year, and at last, instead of being ridiculed, be respected. Marjory Glover ' 12 —66— THE ANNUAL ■ ! FRESHMAN POEM They don ' t know how much they’d miss us, Small and worthless though we seem We can make the others hustle, Though we know that we are green! I Sophomores! the bigheaded people! Mercy! don ' t we think they’re mean? Getting silly jokes on Freshmen, Must think we don’t know we ' re green! Juniors are not quite so worthless But they think they’re just the cream; Sometimes they are good to Freshmen, Yet, think we don’t know we ' re green Seniors wear such solemn faces, Don ' t remember they were seen As small little frightened Freshmen Who knew that they were green! Next year we will be the Sophomores, But you bet we ' ll not be mean; We will sorrow for the Freshmen Who know that they are green!. —67— FAMILIAR FACES. THE ANNUAL “Opportunity knocks at every one’s door but once.” The many colleges of our country are showing in what way a large majority of our high school students have taken advantage of this opportunity. Does it not sound encouraging to hear that fifty-seven per cent of last year’s class have entered college ? The problem of education lias become more complex in late years; due to the increase in population and demands of our ever growing industries. Along with this, the standard of instruction has been raised in secondary schools in order to meet the more severe requirements of our colleges. In this respect M. H. S. has fully met the demands made upon it and our Alumni are represented in nearly forty of the best schools in our country. During the last few months we have received many letters from some of our last year’s graduates. Of course each one speaks very highly of his own particu¬ lar school but all extend a welcome hand. Marie Pickering, now attending Oberlin, tells us that Oberlin Conservatory ranks higher than Boston school for music, and asks why people go far away when they can get better, or just as good, near home. Ohio State is probably the best represented by our High School graduates, as almost twenty-five are now there. Earl Bushnell tells of their foot ball success in this past season and interest taken in that line of athletics. The physical equip¬ ment of O. S. U., Earl Terman and Roy Spetka think is worthy of special men¬ tion, as two years of military training is required of all boys before graduation and in general is disliked by all. Still another representative, Harry Lynch was elated over the fact that the Freshmen won this year in the annual Cane rush. The worst results were only torn clothes and shoes. One of our representatives at Wooster, Pearl Remy, says “Wooster’s require¬ ments for entrance are considered high, so perhaps it will be gratifying to know that M. H. S. ranks high in the estimation of the professors here.” Maude Walker, now attending Muskingum writes that each student there is put on her honor, and even during examinations they are left without a leader. It is the duty of each student to report cheating. The offenders are tried before a council. The cordiality with which all new students are received at Miami impressed Virginia Stark more than anything else. Now we of M. H. S. must be up and doing for we have this good representa¬ tion to keep up. These few points also show what our alumni are now doing and the good times they are having along with the hard work. Let the class of ’09 send a still larger representation than that which we are proud to claim at the present time. —70 THE ANNUAL (r- 9 GRADUATES 1862 Mary Emminger (Mrs. Dr. Warner), Columbus, Ohio Amanda Rowland (Mrs. Shellenbarger), Fayetteville, Ark.

Jn the April number of the Ohio Educational Monthly, we noticed this edit¬ or ial: “The janitors in the High School building at Mansfield are artists in their work. They enjoy seeing the building spic and span, and know the virtue of elbow grease. They are not trying to see how little they can do for the money they receive, but how clean they can keep their buildings. If we entered our school room some morning and found it untidy, unswept, and cold, we should make a great complaint but no word of praise can be extorted from us, when every day, we find everything spotless, comfortable, and tidy. We are going to tell the care-takers of this building how we appreciate their work, and how grateful we are to them for their efforts in our behalf. We are young to act upon the advice of a man who said: “More taffy for the living, and less epi- taphy for the dead. We are going to tell them that we have learned lessons from them; the lesson that faithfulness is everything; that there is a dignity in every kind of labor, that doing everything to a finish is the way to succeed in life. There are three people who look after the comforts and welfare and safety of the teachers and pupils at the High School. Mr. Leppo is the head janitor who has occupied this position for several years He is courteous and painstaking, prompt and systematic about his work. The work of a janitor is hard and taxing. It means getting up early on cold winter mornings, to have the rooms warm, staying late in the evening to get the rooms clean for the next day. The Juniors, during their recent reception found Mr. Leppo general utility man, when he wired the drawing room and did all sons of things. Mr. Leppo is assisted by Mr. George Thomas, whose work keeps him down stairs most of the time, where he looks after the boilers and gas furnaces. It is a great responsibility to have the lives and comforts of so many entrusted to his care. He is pleasant, genial and obliging, always ready to do a service. “Last but not least, is Miss Mary VonBergen, who looks so neat and tidy as she goes about her work of sweeping, dusting and scrubbing. Booker Wash¬ ington in his autobiography “Up From Slavery tells us what constituted his ex¬ amination when he wanted to enter Hampton Institute. He was asked to sweep and dust a recitation room. He said that he swept the room three times, and dusted it four times. Every wall, bench, desk and window was thoroughly cleaned. The Head Teacher inspected the work, rubbing the desks with her handkerchief. When she was unable to find a speck of dust, she said: “ 1 think you can enter this school. If that test were applied to Mary, we are certain that she could pass the examination with honor, for, after Mary has gotten through cleaning a room, it is a delight to look upon. —92— THE ANNUAL -93- THE ANNUAL it THE ANNUAL —95— STRING QUARTETTE. HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA. THE ANNUAL RHETORICALS The Mansfield High School may well boast of its excellent presentation of Oliver Goldsmith ' s comedy, “She Stoops to Conquer.” Comparing it with similar efforts of more renowned schools, schools which have environments arous¬ ing more of the latent theatrical talents in their students, and which have double the number of students to lend their artistic temperments to the presentation of such a play, we conclude that the M. H. S. boys and girls gave it with a polish, an at¬ tractive dash and spirit, and a unique portrayal of characters rarely found. Miss Swaim, the instructor of public speaking, showed keen insight in choos¬ ing the actors who seemed veritably made for their roles. Due to this and to her untiring efforts, and skillful training and management, we greatly appreciated and enjoyed the entire play. Entertaining as this play is, it was made more so by the clever art displayed by these amateurs. Tony Lumpkin, that “ composition of tricks and mischief, ” caring only for horses, dogs and liquor, one moment his mother’s angel-child, the next a wicked scamp, was well acted by George Blecker. This Tony was the lazy, phlegmatic type, differing from the usual boisterous kind, but giving a pleas¬ ing change even more comical and entertaining. Everyone agreed there could not have been a better Tony Lumpkin. Ruth Gadsby’s characterization of Tony’s figety mother, was splendid. The doting mother worshiping her son, and again provoked beyond endurance, was amusingly portrayed. Jud Colwell as the bashful lover, Marlowe, proved himself a genuine actor of ability. His bravado and dash, as a man of the world, ordering about his host as a common servant, was well done. Then, too, his diffident manner before Kate Hardcastle, and finally his ardent lovemaking proved him to be a versatile actor. We would prophecy that Judd might become famous as a matinee idol, if he cared to. Marlowe’s running-mate, Hastings, was well acted by Russell Upson. Ruth Guenther depicted the character of Constance Neville most naturally. Earl Schuler in three roles showed a goodly amount of ability in depicting the characters of Marlowe’s father, the jolly waiter of “The Three Pigeons,” and as servant for Mr. Hardcastle, each being difficult to represent. Kate Hardcastle, the central figure, is mistaken for the bar maid by the young and handsome Marlowe, and carries out the delusion. Rebekah McDaniels delighted the audience by the charming and winsome manner in which she acted this part. She was a vivacious coquette and stooped to conquer most artistically. We can’t forget Judson Super as he appeared as Kate’s father, Mr. Hard¬ castle. Judson carried out the dignity and rage of the fine old gentleman, meanly imposed upon, in his usual ingenious manner The tipplers, Tom Scott, Rio Judson and Earl Pollock, gave a lively scene about the table of the inn and made the hall resound with their clinking glasses and merry laughter. At the close of this comedy we all felt that we had seen amateurs of ability, under the direction of an excellent manager, through whose efforts the whole went off smoothly and pleasantly and made us all wish at the close of the play, that we might see it again. This may be called a good representation of rhetorical work as it is carried on in our High School -98— THE ANNUAL I ! .-ATHLETICS -99— THE ANNUAL The interest in our High School athletics has been on the decline since 1905, with the exception of Basket Ball. In the spring of ’08, however, Base Ball pros¬ pered. In the autumn of ’oS, when school began, our boys were determined to have Foot Ball and, by the heroic effort of those interested, we were able to gain permission from the School B ard, this being necessary, as Foot Ball had been voted out since ’05. The strenuous work of the fellows, together with the skillful coaching of Mr. Marling, put the team in a condition to win all but the first game of the ten played during the season. The team succeeded in scoring 173 points to their opponents’ 44 and can favorably be compared in every respect with the champion team we had in ’04, one of which we may well be proud. When the Foot Ball season ended the Basket Ball squad began practicing. New suits were secured for the team and the first game was played on December 18, and won by the one-sided score of 102 to o. This started Basket Ball with a vim and the spirit was kept up the entire season. Through the influence of Mr. Marting our team had the pleasure of going to Delaware and entering the Basket Ball Tournament for the championship of Central Ohio. Our team won this Tournament, in which seven other schools were entered, and carried off the two silver Loving Cups which the Ohio Wesleyan University had offered to the winner of the Tournament. During the season the Basket Ball team lost but one out of the thirteen High School games played, and succeeded in rolling up a total of 731 points to their opponents ' 229. Our team also made a record for Ohio teams in two scores, one of 102 to o r with Gallon, the other 150 to 6, with Nor¬ walk. This record is the best one ever made by any of our High School teams, and we hold the championship of central and north-western Ohio. The Basket Ball team of 1904 05 won eight out of ten games played and scored 358 points to 184 of their opponents’. The team of i9o6-’c 7 won eight out of thirteen games and scored 405 points to the 308 of their opponents’. The team of i907-’o8 won two games, tied one and lost six, scoring 221 points to their opponents’ 253. It will be seen that the team of i9o8-’o9 is a champion one and has set a good pace for the future teams. As to Base Ball little can be said, as no games hav e been played. The boys are practicing hard and, as we have six of last year’s men playing, the outlook for a champion team is good. Athletics in our High School have not only been a success financially, but in all other respects. Both the Foot Ball and the Basket Ball teams made a good record for themselves, and we now stand on a better financial basis than in any previous year. This is due to the fact that the students so loyally supported the teams, both by contributing money when needed and by being present at the games. The School Board, in one of their meetings, passed a resolution thanking Mr. Marting and the students for having carried through the athletics in the Mans¬ field High School in such a creditable manner. Taking everything into considera¬ tion, this year has been one of the most successful and satisfactory years in ath¬ letics our High School has ever seen. 100- I THE ANNUAL — JOl— FOOT BALL TEAM. THE ANNUAL BUCYRUS The Mansfield High School Foot Ball team met the Bucyrus High School team in the first game of the season, on the latter ' s field. The game was decid¬ edly in favor of the Bucyrus team, due to lack of practice of our High School team but our boys played a plucky game until the last. Line up and summary. M. H. S.—o ....

THE ANNUAL LITERATURE — i 19— THE ANNUAL ITALIAN FLOWER GIRL It was early morning when Beatricia Maruiccia slowly descended the long flight of stone steps leading into the Piazza di Spagna. She was a girl of about eighteen summers, whose figure was tall and graceful. Beatricia was an Italian beauty, with her hair surmounting her well proportioned forehead, her delicately tinged but healthful cheek, and her sensitive and kindly face. With every emo¬ tion her girlish face grew beautiful and her black eyes flashed, revealing her very soul. She wore a red dress and a black velvet bodice and carried on her head a large basket of flowers, which were in striking contrast with her clear olive com¬ plexion and black hair. At this time of day everything was beginning to stir. The laborers were going to their work; the vegetable venders with their two¬ wheeled carts were setting up their establishments for the day ' s business; the beg¬ gars were creeping forth from their dens to take up their stations at some promin¬ ent corner or church; and the flower peddlers were decorating their stalls or mak¬ ing their baskets artistic at the foot of the broad flight of steps. Beatricia stopped on the last step and seating herself, began arranging her flowers in small bunches, choosing with her delicate fingers the best ones and put¬ ting them by themselves. Soon she had them grouped and was just about to put them back into her basket when she heard a step behind her. She turned quickly and caught her breath as she saw a handsome young American coming rapidly down the steps- Catching up her prettiest bunch of flowers she called to him. “Buy Signor-cinque soldi, cinque soldi. The young man turned and looked at her with a steady gaze. Beatricia held the flowers up temptingly and repeated her word “buy. He put his hand down in his pocket and drew forth his purse still gazing into her black eyes. “Gad 1 but you are a beauty! he exclaimed, as he handed her the required sum. She dropped her eyes shyly as she murmured, “Gratia; Gratia Signor. The young man was about to hurry away when something changed his mind. The girl would make a beautiful model for his new picture, he thought, and in a moment was gesticulating madly, talking in English and Italian with now and then a few words of French, trying to make her understand what he wanted. She ran away a few steps like a frightened bird and stood with her eyes bent on the —120— THE ANNUAL ground as if she were counting the little square paving stones. She kept this at¬ titude for several minutes. When at last the young man, tired of waiting for her decision, approached her and laid a hand gently on her shoulder, she started and looked at him with one of her coquettish glances. Si, Si Signor,” she said laughingly. The young artist then made his arrangements, as best he could, and told her to be at his studio promptly at nine o’clock the next morning. He then went his way; while Beatricia after selling all her flowers, went quickly home to prepare herself for the morrow. The following morning Mr. Brighton heard a light rap on his studio door. He went to the entrance and there found his young acquaintance of the previous morning. She was dressed in the same manner as when he had seen her last, with the exception of a few strands of beads which she wore about her throat. Her eyes flashed brightly and her cheeks glowed as she entered and shyly handed him a nosegay of her choicest flowers. He thanked her and offered her a chair. She looked about and wondered at the strange surroundings. It was a large sunny room looking out into the Piazza del Popolo. In the middle of the room was an easel with a small canvas frame upon it. At the side of this was a small table littered with the various articles which an artist uses. There was little furniture besides two chairs which were necessary objects. The walls were hung with good pictures, most of them paintings, probably the artist’s own work. There was one picture which caught her eye. It was a small copy of Beatricia Cenci the artist told her. He looked at the picture to see what it was that struck her girlish fancy, then he looked back at his model and was deeply impressed with the resemblance between the two faces. He placed Beatricia by the window where the light would strike her in just the right manner, picked up his pencil and began sketching. Many pleasant hours were beguiled in this way. Beatricia came promptly every morning and always had some little flower for her friend. Brighton taught her to speak English and when they got tired working, he holding the brush and she posing, they would talk for hours. Their friendship grew continually and the days were made happy for both. Beatricia would watch every move he made when he was not looking and her eyes would sparkle when he would talk to her and tell her of his home. Her whole soul was bubbling over with happiness. Brighton noticed her longing glances which she cast at him and her apparent hap¬ piness when she was with him. He had noticed too the shadow that had spread over her face one morning when he had said that the portrait would soon be done. He had only meant to treat her courteously, but those bewitching Italian eyes had led him on. He knew she loved him and he knew too well how he loved her, yet for the life of him he could not see why he did it. He knew he could never marry an Italian peasant girl, though she was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. His American parents would think it scandalous and—well he knew it was beneath him. Still there was that ever burning fire in his heart. If he could only rid himself of it and be free once more, but every time he saw her he was more completely infatuated. He knew something would have to be done, for this misunderstanding could not continue. Was it a misunderstanding? No, in the bottom of his heart he knew it was not, yet he wanted it to seem so. He studied over it for a long time, as he knew something had to be done and that quickly. —121 — THE ANNUAL Arguing with himself he deciJed the best plan to adopt was to act just the same towards her and to break the news gently of his returning to America. The next morning when she came she had a large bunch of violets for him. She again put him under her charm and he was unable to broach the subject. After she went, Brighton wondered how he could be so weak and yet he knew why. Fin¬ ally the day came when it had to be done for the portrait would be finished that morning and Brighton had engaged passage for America on a Liner for the next week. He expected to leave Rome in three or four days and spend the rest of the time in Naples. Beatricia entered that morning, happier than usual, and gave the artist a big red rose. His conscience pricked him, how terribly she would feel. He did not know what effect it might have on her. Should he venture? Yes, it had to be done that morning. He tried to bury his feelings deep in his heart and to act quite natural. After the portrait had been completed, and they were both admir¬ ing it and comparing it to her own face, Ralph said, “ Little girl there is something 1 have been wanting to tell you for a long time. Come over here and sit down while l talk to you a little while.” He led her over to a chair. Her face was glowing with excitement at the prospect of his telling her something new. 1 hey sat down together. “ Now,” he began ' that the portrait is finished I must pay you and let you go, for l know you must be tired of this business.” Beatricia leaned forwarJ and looked searchingly in his face but he went on apparently without noticing her. “ How much do you think it is worth? It has been a great help to me and l know of course it has been very tiresome for you, so we must take all that into consideration.” He went on madly not knowing what to say next. “It has been over six weeks that we have been working together and l dare say that you have missed your out-door life.” She put her hand up signal¬ ing for him to stop. She had leaned back in her chair and was staring at him, her lips were apart, as if she were about to speak but could not. Ralph tried not to notice her distress but his heart was breaking. How could he go on? Why cause her so much pain when she loved him with such simple faith? She moved her lips but no sound was audible. He said no more but waited for her to speak. At length she rallied herself and pressing her hand to her brow said, “Is this all you can do for me ?” In a flash Ralph had her hand and his plan would have been lost but he crushed the mad desire in his heart and went on calmly. “1 am afraid this has been a mis¬ understanding all of the time. You have been good to let me paint your portrait and now you see I want to pay you for this kind favor. I am going to America next week and am anxious to pay you before 1 go.” She gazed at him stupified. Her hands were cold and numb and she could feel the blood rushing to her head. Still she stared at him. She started and raising herself up looked into his eyes. “Don ' t you care for me a little bit?” she said fervently. “ I thought you loved me and would take me back to dear America about which you have talked so often, but I see now you don ' t care for me. You merely brought me here because you thought me pretty. ! see all. I understand. It was foolish of me to ever think of such things, but somehow I did. You don ' t need to pay me at all. I have en¬ joyed it, yes more than enjoyed it. I have loved it and loved everything about it, even you.” —122 — THE ANNUAL She arose and staggered towards the door. She balanced herself against the chair. “ Now 1 must leave you forever, yes forever.” “How strange that sounds.” She laughed hysterically. “ I must go back to my old life of drudgery. No, I would rather die. Never-Never.” She caught hold of the chair but it did not support her and she fell trembling into the arms of her lover. She sank back in his arms and lay perfectly quiet. He carried her into the next room and laid her tenderly on the couch. “1 must leave her, he said to himself, “until she is quite calm.” He came back to the studio and paced the floor for hours it seemed to him. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked into the calm but strained face of Beatricia. “I must leave you now,” she said and started out the door. She turned to him and said, “Signor, you have been good to me and 1 ap¬ preciate it.” Brighton walked quickly to her side and placed in her hands a few gold coins. She looked at them and smiled. “Little girl, that will keep you from starving. You will never have to go back to your old life.” She grasped his hand and fervently kissed it with her hot parched lips. In a moment she was gone. In the next morning’s paper, Brighton read an article which set him to think¬ ing. The article was headed “Noble Girl Faints in Street and is Carried to Red Cross Hospital.” His eyes seemed fairly to devour the paper in their eagerness to read every word. At last he let the paper fall to the floor and sat musing. “And to thi.ik she is really of noble blood anJ a descendant of Beatricia Cenci. 1 noticed the striking resemblance of their faces but my Beatricia lias black hair. There is the difference,” he said half audibly. “It has been said that there are some descendants living, but no one knows who they are or where they live. I must find her at once.” In a few minutes he found himself entering the hospital and inquiring for Beatricia Mariuccia. He was taken into a large sunny room with many rows of white beds. He followed the nurse across the room to a little white bed next the window. There was something dark lying with a face to the window. The nurse whispered that she was asleep, but that if he would sit down in a chair by her bed and wait a little while, she would waken. The nurse explained that they thought there was nothing serious the matter with the child, but that she had been delirious ever since she had come and something seemed to be pressing on her mind. She added that the doctor hoped this sleep might bring her to con¬ sciousness. Ralph sat down by the bed and waited. The minutes seemed hours to his feverish brain. When he could wait no longer he gently took her delicate hand in his and called softly,“Beatricia, Beatricia.” Her eyes slowly opened and she smiled up into the face of Ralph Brighton. “1 have come for you little girl, to take you back to dear America. 1 found I could not live without you and am going to try and make you happy. Will you go?” She raised herself upon hei elbow and looked into his face. “Oh—I am so glad,” she gasped. “You do love me. 1 thought so all the time. 1 will get well now for I am so happy, oh so happy. She fell back exhausted on the pillow. Ralph leaned forward and tenderly im¬ printed a kiss on her ruby lips. “I must leave you now, but will come back for you tomorrow if you are better and vve will start on our long journey soon. Helen a. Jennings ’09 —123— THE ANNUAL MABEL THE APOSTATE Whoever says that he has seen real beauty in woman lias either beheld Mabel Dill or has a very bad taste. She was described as being medium in build and with a well moulded form. Her complexion was natural and her brown eyes clear. Beyond this no one ever attempted to portray, but only said, “See for yourself ' If her being was fair, her excellence of disposition was indescribable. From babyhood up she had never been known to lose her temper or patience, and a conception of the meaning of evil was never her’s. Pride never lej her astray. Thus when she reached that age where all girls can be most appreciated, her voice and smile, like the strains of Oipheus, dispelled grief and }iain, and caused not only the youth but the seer to act mysteriously foolish. Mabel conquered the battles of High School and a year in College, and came out as pretty and bright as when she entered. By her manner and aspect no one would have dreamed that she had passed through so much tribulation; if anything she was still more beautiful than before. Now she was to take up teaching. A sixth grade in a large city school was assigned her and she looked forward to the coming fall with pleasure. She thought how the school, the community, and all would respect her for her accomplishments, would respect her for more than that which nature had given, and how easy was reading, and writing, and arithmetic to teach. It was settled in her mind that she would not, like some, teach tempor¬ arily, in order to earn college money, but would make this her profession, would teach until a certain time when- Yes, school began, and Mabel was matron over fifteen boys and as many girls. “What dear children,” she declared, “And how awfully cute ' But not until school had begun in earnest did she realize the purport of her charge. The fact that she was to deal with thirty different minds, the product of thirty different environments. And she was to learn furthermore that her stand¬ ards of goodness were entirely too high for practical use. She would learn many things that her diplomas had never included. Some pupils were dense, others were bright, some were submissive, others had no desire, others had little ability and were anxious. Some were clean, others dirty; some were by nature sensible, others were naturally senseless. And withal in this unequal race the fast had to lie by and wait for the slow. So Miss Dill was, using a common expression, “ Up against it ’ She was more than teacher, she was nurse. When Willie fell down and hurt his finger it was her business to tell him it did not hurt, and excuse him from writing for a week. Sometimes Tommy would also have his finger sore, and while in the room THE ANNUAL was in mortal agony, but at recess, he, as it were, would take up his bed and walk. Whose finger was sore and whose was not, who was sick and who was well, who should be exempted and who should not was the intangible enigma, the burden of Mabel. Some scholars saw little charm in ordinary work, and used their powers in faking lessons. They would bribe those who worked for written lessons and dur¬ ing oral recitations, the gleaners of the class would telegraph them the answers. These little mountebanks had so trained their ears for the purpose of receiving that a mere hint disclosed the necessary information. Miss Dill, although unac¬ quainted with their quips and quirks often imagined their deception, and would give written tests during which she would keep what she supposed an infallible watch on the actions of the school. She had to take special precaution lest some¬ one, while borrowing stationery from a neighbor, would slip a note. So she loaned them her ' s and forbade their exchanges. Yet in spite of her vigilance, when she corrected the papers she would find wrong answers corresponding in pairs and triplets verbatim. How it happened she could not conceive, but it happened and right under her very eyes. It was enough to drive a man into hysteria but she was a woman and bore it well. Then there were the gum chewing girls. With all her pleadings, they would chew and chew and chew and with most of them it had become second nature to chew desperately while unobserved, and an art to stow the end behind a molar when reading. It was a misery to teach them. Among boys (especially the most intelligent ones) she discovered, it was considered honorable to be funny and the school had its jesters, who turned everything serious and respectable into nonsense. They would sing in a forced, unnatural tone and turn the whole melody into a pandemonium that was horrible. They would delight in making fool re¬ marks, in setting tacks, drawing pictures of the teachers, falling out of their seats, coughing in concert, and in a word anything that would secure the applauding laugh. And everything was profaned by them from the morning prayer to a wart. What would be quietly passed, out of doors, would be laughed at in the school and she was pestered with those evil germs called gigglers. There was nothing so insignificant as not to attract them and they would giggle at anything and everything, the Moor, the ceiling, the windows, the sun, the moon and a reference to the stars. They would giggle forever and at the magnified shadow of an opportunity to smile. Miss Dill had been teacher for about a year when a wrinkle began to steal on her brow. Its name was Worry. Many of the scholars were in love; real, genu¬ ine, simple love. They would cast awkward glances back and forth, write long love letters, and ever anon would pose and try to look pert. While Miss Dill was explaining a vital point it was not unusual to see a half a dozen or more whose minds had gone traveling, whose riveted and glassy eyes proved it; proved that they were dreaming there, dreams of love in oblivion. Love always makes a sacrifice; they sacrificed their lessons and Miss Dill was grieved and sore at heart. There were many teachers in the building besides this niaam. They all looked tired and cross and she had wondered when she made her debut in the ring, why they were so, and if she would ever get like them. Mabel had a beau and once he visited the school. Although she introduced him as an ordinary book agent, it was of no good. There was a geneial upheavel —125— THE ANNUAL in the class and for fear of losing her dignity she dared not restrain them. The jesters, the gigglers, and the wad shooters got in their work. They laughed at him, tossed chalk at him, and wrote his name and hers together all over the board. Even a kindred teacher had the unlimited boldness to give her a lecture on the folly of love. It was a shame and an outrage to treat a girl that way, and she was almost bored to death. Not long after this Timothy Tall committed a series of misdemeanors, the effect of which was beyond earthly endurance and besides he fairly fumed from the odor of garlic. Anv person but Mabel would have had him expelled but she only sent him to the hall. Of this she afterward had cause to repent. Timothy ' s father came to the school and all but thrashed poor Mabel. He raved and stamped in terrible wrath. He even-he actually used an oath and then made straightway to the Principal and swore that he did not send his son to school to stand in the hall. Mabel, following a severe lecture from her superior, buiied her head in her hands and for an hour yielded to the throes of uncontrollable grief. The Principal was an austere individual who never owned a heart. Revenge for his domestic troubles he meted out on the school. He was one of those, whoa re too philoso¬ phical to be human, and know too much of Greece and Rome and too little of human hearts. Many could be taught nothing, were uninterested, and owned brains utterly impervious. With such she worried her days. Notes came to her continually from parents who blamed her for the numbness of their offspring’s skulls. How she was to satisfy these people who paid her salary was the ever pending question. At night in her sleep she could see blackboards, seats, desks and satyr faced critics flying about in dizzy confusion. One day in early spring when the school was drowsy and dull, something dreadful happened. Had Miss Dill had a premonition of the occuranee she must surely have succumbed to prostration. At about 1:30 in the afternoon, during arithmetic time, the door suddenly opened and in came the Superintendent of the School. That was all. Over Miss Dill’s face spread a blush, the first for a long time. She was fast losing this perquisite of nature. She managed to extricate herself from the excitement of the moment and after a “Good Morning,” called on one of her best pupils—a girl. She recited fairly well and Mabel Dill w ' as somewhat relieved. She w ' as about to call on number two Acme when his excel¬ lence, the Superintendent, chimed in and took the class to finish the lesson. Her heart sank but she did not faint. He put one question after another, all of them haJ been gone over time and again but the questioner had to answer his own questions. Those who were thoroughly awake were too awed or frightened to remember. Contrary to her uppermost forebodings he did not motion her aside for criticism, but thanked her in a noncommittal way and left as easily as he had come. Mabel breathed normally again but in recovery she lost what she had never lost before, her temper. She lost it altogether, and here is the unholy hour that marks her first fall from the sublime. She stormed in fury for full fifteen minutes and then felt better. Too numerous for mention were her trials but thereafter her ire never failed her and her one time lovely blush would appear only as a flush in the heat of anger. She began to grow cross like the others and as she continued to be cross the paths grew smoother and lessons were better learned, she was —126— THE ANNUAL more respected and the more peevish she became it seemed, the higher was her reputation as an instructress. Once she could have found a smile to fit any time or place, now from feigning deep intellectuality before the people of her profession she had become of a° sad and gloomy caste. When other girls were having a gay time—Mabel Dill would sit up until midnight with stacks of papers by her side. Among them was every kind of writing; uniform, backhand, hierogliffic and scrawl. As if she had taken no pains to install the arm movement, everyone wiggled his fingers and the diffi¬ culties in decipherment reflected in her face and ashen hue. She encountered and fought her adversary to a finish but still it lived and loomed up bigger than ever. Any force is shattered when after repeated onslaughts, there is no relax. She became more and more discouraged and in time turned against her own better in¬ stincts. No more did the stern look of the principal shed fear and anguish upon her, no more did the sobbing of a little child bring tears to her own eyes. She grew suspicious and lost faith in humanity. Once she believed that Man was on the whole, good—Now she believed that he was totally depraved. Because, said she:—“ 1 thought these infants pure and innocent. But no! I am deceived, they are as dishonest and crafty as the business of their fathers ' She became proud, self-righteous and painfully peculiar, and though she took adversity coldly, she was seldom happy. The beau she had at the school, you remember ? Becoming disgusted she let him go and though he was a splendid gentleman she rejected all proffers to a close friendship. To make a long story short, she was losing herself body and soul and to speak materialistically, she was the victim of circumstance and was not in the least to blame. One Sunday afternoon as she was strolling solitary through the woods, con¬ versing with nature, (with botany) she suddenly forgot about stems and leaves to take a more general view of her surroundings. As she thus broadened her scope and perceived the beauty of nature in the large and best sense she began to specu¬ late upon the part that she really occupied in the whole. She soon began to feel that she was indeed the most miserable object on the scene. Under a great oak she took her seat and there began to think and ultimately to resolve. Her mind carried her back to a time she was a girl with admirers upon every hand and now she moaned, “1 am a woman transformed in only four short years.” Now she had her admirers, a few. But the tribute paid to knowledge was not to be compared to that bestowed upon youth and grace. It lacked much of the real. She traced her career to its very Genesis and M Why should 1 so spoil my volume,” she asked herself, When indeed it was started well?” “Can I not tear out a page and then continue?” She commenced to feel queer. The longer she meditated the more queerly did she feel. Some extraordinary power was affecting her. Finally, as if visited by an inspiration, she on a sudden struck out over the hills and vales and meadows on the course by which she had come, and she never stopped until she arrived at her room. In a second she was by her table and writing—what was it? She sealed it and as speedily, was at the postoffice, had mailed the letter and was back again. Scarcely waiting for breath, she had moved before the mirror and was arranging her hair. She tried every style she had ever known about fifty—and decided upon one which she fancied was really becoming. She then took to pressing out —127— THE ANNUAL that wrinkle, at the same time applying the white powder in superfluous quan¬ tities. Vulgar it may seem to discuss so freely these propensities common to women but since she was once a teacher it matters not, and besides it must be re¬ membered that such vanity had played little part in her life. Then she would wear the silliest of all smiles on her face. When she ap¬ peared on the street every one would eye her, and it was often asked “What is she smiling at. Some gossip had it that Miss Mabel Dill was demented Some time passed. On Easter morning, the sun rose clear and bright, the birds kissed the air with songs that inspired and made the world glad. It was nine o ' clock and Miss Dill had not yet made her appearance for breakfast. Mrs. Howe with whom she lived felt uneasy, and going to Miss Dili ' room, knocked gently and awaited reply. None came. She called and knocked loudly, still no answer came. Mrs. Howe was a nervous woman and would not try the door, but hastened down and summoned two neighbors. The three mounted the stairs and without delay opened the unlocked door and stepped into the room. She was not there. The spread and pillow had been untouched. The women looked at each 0 }her in blank perplexity. One suggested that since her mind had been wander¬ ing, that she might have strayed to the river and drowned herself. They were just agreeing that the police should be notified when Mrs. Howe espied a letter lying on the dresser, addressed to herself. This would tell the tale. She nerv¬ ously tore the letter open and this is what she read: My Dear Mrs. Howe: You have doubtless taken note of my moves of late and have thought me silly. Maybe I am, but be assured that I am going to be happy. 1 have learned through a course of experience that there is more happiness in a life than a career, and I intend to live. I know that some of my friends will name my sin unpardonable, but 1 must confess. I accepted that dear fellow, and we were married at noon yesterday. As you read we are far, far away, bound for a home which is wait¬ ing. Words cannot express my thanks to you for your kindness during my four years of delusion. Begging that you will write, I am, Yours Sincerely, Mabel Dill Clark, April twenty-fourth 80 East Boulevard Nineteen hundred and nine. Peerless, California By G. ’it —128— THE ANNUAL SOLIOQUY. When it cometh my time to enter the High School I shall rejoice greatly. There shall be sweet release from studying and from the vigilance of spectacled teachers. 1 will not subject myself to anyone and will endeavor to rid myself of my greenness at as early a date as possible. I shall not get lost, but shall walk in an upright and sedate manner to the proper room. I will write notes in abundance and make small noises to harrass the teachers. 1 shall indeed have a goodly time. 9 9 1 stood in front of the High school gazing. I had not thought it could be so large. My limbs shook and 1 felt frightened. But strange sounds were issuing from its portals that were as wine to my head and music to mine ears. 1 entered. I was shoved rudely aside and was laughed at. 1 felt sore afraid. At last, after great wanderings, 1 found myself in a room with many others. A soft green light filled the room. I could not think what made it. A very boyish looking man was standing in the front of the room, trying to get order. Helooked cross as he saw one after the other doing not his will. He was desperate, but a man came hurrying in, who put an end to this. He was not such a terrible look¬ ing man but he seemed to have the sway of a tyrant. He told us to come to Study Room One.” We all arose vaguely certain he would lead us some where. While we were going through the halls, there was much ridiculing of our color. We were greatly depressed. While in Study Room One,” the man was gentle and nice, and made out what were called schedules.” We were duly grateful to him and liked him well. The next morning with others, I went again to the boyish looking teacher ' s room, but was instructed to leave and to betake myself to where I belong. I felt bad at such rash treatment, but found a place to sit in the room, where a teacher with brown eyes and a great lot of black hair presided. She was kind and gentle withal. Before we could well think what was happening, we were told to follow our schedules. A signal rang and we went out into the hall. Surely the end thereof —129— THE ANNUAL had come, such confusion was never before seen. I felt lost and awed, I made my way to a room where a busy teacher was talking a queer language. I knew not where 1 was. But, 1 knew it was not a class of my fellows for the occupants laughed uproarously at my color. I set forth again, I went up stairs and down again, from one end to the other enJeavoring to find the algebra room. 1 inquired of several but was scorned and misused. At last I found a room where a dark haired teacher, with a soft voice held sway. The perfect peace that reigned within was in sharp contrast to the con¬ fused chaos without. I was well contented to stay, but must needs go when the signal rang. 1 next tried to find the history room. After much labor 1 found it. An aus¬ tere woman presided. She made a few jokes and then became stern and severe. We must not smile, we must not w hisper, we must not jail, and in all we must be ideal. The next thing my schedule sayeth was English. Where, oh where was the English room. After more wanderings and ill usages, I found it. A teacher with much worry and the biting of the end of her little finger and pencil, alternately, said: Bring a paragraph on your first day at High School—tomorrow.” Surely, she kneweth not what a tender subject that was to us. Next I was to find the teacher with the lot of black hair and learn Latin. I went up and up the stairways, but things looked not the same. I was in the de¬ partment of typewriters. Down again I went, through the whole length of the building, and finally into the right room. How glad 1 was to see again a familiar face. Thus ended my first day at High School. The next day the study periods were thrown in and then 1 found not my way at all. After three weeks 1 felt the time had now come to get excused. Accordingly, 1 went to the office. It was full of boys and girls but nothing daunted me then. I was that far and would go farther. A man, I had seen before and came to know as one Hall, was seated behind a desk, pencil poised in mid-air, ready to write my excuse. I felt flattered at his fore-thot, but secretly alarmed when I thot of the questions he would ask. Mother know ?” Whereto?” Why?” How long?” What for ?” 1 knew not if 1 would have the courage to ask. I did, and my de¬ light and amazement were unbounded when he said, Why yes! ” I had no more fear of the office. One day I was seized with a headache of volcanic force, large objects swirled before my eyes. 1 could not think or see. The first thing 1 well knew, 1 was in a dark room, and felt comfortable. The doctor, a woman with brown eyes, slightly wavy dark hair, and a very firm mouth, was bending over me, inserting under my tongue an instrument, the name of which 1 knew not. It was pleasur¬ able until she gave me ginger tea and bathed my head with camphor. 1 straight¬ way protested I was well, but my poor attempts to rise were conviction enough ] was not. The doctor went out and left me to my own meditations. 1 was soon asleep and I must say, I did enjoy my sleep very much. 1 afterwards learned l had faint¬ ed and had caused a great commotion. —130— THE ANNUAL One day cometh the time for what was known as Parlimentary Law in the Room Twenty-four. It took much time to find that room, and after we were there, we had an odd time. A tall woman with light hair, made us get up and make mo¬ tions. I wonder when the motions we made will take effect. I hope it is soon. Two days after, everybody was saying Rhetoricals,” what are they ? 1 could not tell and no one seemed to know more than 1. We awaited the day with great curiosity and expectancy. At last it came. Dropping in with the crowd, I started up-stairs. We entered a large brilliantly lighted room. Why, it was like the opera house. What was its name ? A noise as of some great crashing came to my ears. I looked up in front. A littie man was standing there, bobbing his head as fast as he could. His face wore a distressed look and he seemed not at his ease. It was not—why yes—it was Mr. Bellingham. Why was he over at High School, I wondered. At last the woeful crashing ceased and a young man arose from where he had been sitting on the platform and after great hand clapping, the program began. It was altogether good to see Sophmores, Juniors and Seniors alike get confused. After the one Hall had spoken we were dismissed. Surely, 1 would never come out alive. A young man, with his hair curled a little at the ends, was en¬ deavoring to make more order, but in vain. 1 came out without my tie, handker¬ chief and hair.ribbon. 1 later recovered them at the office. All told, 1 enjoyed rhetoricals very much. 1 am well versed in the ways of High School now. These things are nothing new. Then they were, and if here 1 have given you any idea of my sensations, I am well pleased, for that was my purpose.

While the water splashes, murmurs, lulled by breezes of the night The Philistine is straining o’er the page by candle light. Below the hill within the town, all things are chaos dark The villagers have quit their day, so now in dreams embark ; Toil, eat and sleep—with hopes for harps theirs is the flimsey goal The Philistine feels more of life—the meaning of a soul. The village shepherd and his flock have scorned him “ infidel,” They gossip of his ignorance, and foreordain his hell But yet the world knows not its men and fools take all the pay— His judgemeut stands supreme to most the sun’s orb to a ray. Ideals were not served to him by heritage or style, By ancient relics, platitude, or hypocritic wile. But thro ' a knowledge of the past, a keen observing eye— He learned his secret ‘how to live’, and cares not how to die. He lives not for the shades of those who’s dust has long diffused And quibbles not to empty air, nor is he mythenthused— But concentrates among those here and seeks to spread a light That mortal man would live for men thus giving earth his mite. At noonday in the blazing sun, a miracle he views ; He needs not supernature to convince or to confuse. He sees life’s conflict as it is : it’s roses and it’s thorns ; No winged woman guards him ' gainst a man with hoofs and horns. Of all good men with kindly hearts and philanthropic souls This man is chiefest of them all—he with the least condoles And no one leaves his door unfed—with bread and lofty thought, So honesty impels a truth Great good has this man wrought.” A lovely maid, two stalwart sons his views and virtues share— A modest wife with cheerful mein alleviates his care; A sacred fireside is theirs—a shrine without a dome — Above the door hangs this refrain : “ Lord Reason Bless Our Home.” He reads the epics old as time and sees the latest trend He conceives the world from stardust,—force and matter without end— But he knows brain’s narrow limit, and his wisdom knows it’s blight, That convictions prove no substance, that mankind is seldom right. In time, he hopes, not far away, will heaven be the earth— When hopes for happiness hold here their plentitude or dearth, When men will cast their eyes from skies then to behold their own And make this place a paradise, a natural, decent home. By G. 132— THE ANNUAL THE CENTENARIANS OF 1909 The year 1809 , for some unaccountable reason, was productive of men whose fame lives after them, not so much for their deeds, as for their aim and their wonderful personalities. Science and musical art, no less than humanity at large were enriched by the men whose centenaries are being celebrated over the whole world during this year. It has been said that the best material for teaching is biography, and if so, the whole world is learning lessons at present. One remarkable thing is that in the rushing commercial age, we are admiring men none of whom were given to acquiring wealth, and it speaks well for the world of today that our homage is paid to these heroes whose achievements were all for the good of others. Prominent among them, not only here but everywhere is our own Lincoln. As time goes on our love and regard, and our appreciation of his wonderful personality increase. His being contemporary with Gladstone has give rise to many comparisons, as they are most prominent in the two greatest English-speak¬ ing nations. One had every advantage of culture, education and refined sur¬ roundings, while the other grew up in the back woods with few books and no means of any sort at his command. Yet out of his inner self, he originiated master pieces of literature, not oratorical, but so heart-felt that they live in the minds of many who read them, while Gladstone’s speeches are never quoted except that they be among his very own people. Again many comparisons as to the debt of the world to two great men are made between Lincoln and Darwin, their birthday happening to be the same. The one advanced science, especially theology, and the other advanced the cause of freedom. May 1 quote a beautiful little poem from the Independent entitled, “Lincoln and Darwin:” “Born on the self same day, wide seas apart, The Nazarean statesman of the West, Divinely sorrowful, divinely blest, And he who stalked shy truth with perfect art, Both freemen in themselves and making free, Emancipators both all time to be.” Two of the most wonderful poets are among those whom we honor this year, Tennyson and our own beloved Holmes. The former had been much admired and had the highest honor conferred upon him in his own country, but we feel Holmes reaches our hearts. Who that has read and re-read that masterpiece of English, “The Last Leaf,” would not have wished to make its author the Poet Laureate of America, could such a thing have been done. To fill the list, come two leaders in the “happy art,” music. Chopin, with his compositions reflecting in their weird beauty, the sadness of his own country, and Mendelssohn with his delicately beautiful songs and harmonies. It would be a weary world without the uplifting influence of good music, and so we honor the memories of those who help us to high thoughts by their melodies. The fact that the world cares so greatly for this group of men, shows that our heroes are those who give us the spirit, rather than the things that perish.

He was unoccupied because four days ago he had lost his position as private secretary to one of the best known men in Fountain, a town of some twenty thousand inhabitants. Jones had been employed in Hie principal business concern of this city, a large steel foundry. The president of the company for whom he worked had wanted John to carry out a scheme of his which would bring them both quite a sum of money. However, this involved breaking into the office of a competing company and getting certain papers from the safe the combination of which the president offered him ; as Jones was an honest young man he refused to do this and lost his position. He started out to find work of some kind, for Jone’s bank account was not of the largest, and he would soon face starvation if he remained idle. So far he had found nothing and being tired and discouraged he sat down to rest and think and smoke. He was gazing at the blue sky when lie saw a small object so far away that it was scarcely visible. As he watched this it became larger and larger until it greatly resembled a large cigar. As it came nearer, he saw that it was some sort of an air-ship. It seemed to be nearing the earth and finally came down in a field adjoining the park in which John sat. Being interested, he arose and walked over to it. As he approached, a door opened and a man in a light suit came out followed by two men carrying a stretcher upon which lay a man. The gentleman who wore the light suit, seeing Jones addressed him pleasantly. He inquired if he, Jones, knew where a good doctor could be found. Jones said he would get one and in five minutes the doctor was there and prepared for busin¬ ess. The man who had requested a doctor said his name was Richard Orvington, and that the man on the stretcher had been overcome from lack of air. They had just come from Mars and their supply had run a little short. After this explanation he inquired if Jones knew of a young man of good char¬ acter who woulJ be willing to go into something that he knew nothing of except that it was perfectly honest. Jones was about to reply that he did not, when the thought came to him that he needed a job. - 134 — THE ANNUAL “ 1 am out of a job myself ”, he said after some hesitation. If you think j will answer the purpose I will try it, because if 1 don’t get something soon 1 shall starve. Will you give me the particulars of this if l agree to go into it ?” “ Yes 1 will give the particulars. But how is it you are out a job ?” Jones then related the facts of his dismissal. When Orvington hear d these he liked the man before him more then ever. He then asked him several other questions among which was, Did you ever have a love affair ?” Well 1 loved a millionare ' s daughter but she was so far above my station that 1 thought 1 stood no show of winning her. However, we are the same friends we have always been. If l were rich I would immediately ask her to become my wife.” Well, you may stand some show of winning her yet,” said Orvington. You seem to fill all requirements of the position I spoke about. It is a secret undertak¬ ing and all who belong to the company are sworn to secrecy. There is no salary but each man shares the proceeds. Do you want it?” Yes indeed,” Jones replied quickly. Anything would be acceptable to one in my condition. You want, 1 suppose, me to take oath?.” Yes replied Mr. Orvington,” and he was duly sworn. It was then explained to him that Mr. Orvington had invented an airship which was constructed with gravitation planes and large propellors. The planes were small and concealed on the top and bottom of the ship while the propellors were at each end. These machines could leave the earth and sail to different planets. The con¬ struction was known to six men, the owner and inventor (Mr. Orvington) the en¬ gineer, a machanic, and electrician, a wireless telegrapher and a mining engineer. The man they had just taken off knew very little about it, as he had only made one trip and had not been allowed to explore the ship. They had made one trip to Mars and had discovered that gold was to be had in large quantities. Also that radium was there in about the same quantity as diamonds on earth. They were now going back to get what gold they could carry and also enough radium to make them each several billions. Orvington now asked Jones what he had done before he became secretary. He replied that he had been foreman in the mines of the same company. He said that if they were going into the mining business he thought he could help them as he had with the knowledge he had gained there, invented a drill that would takeout about a hundred cubic yards a day. That is good if what you claim is true” said Orvington. Where is your invention ? ” It is in a hired barn at present,” answered Jones. Can you take me there now”? asked Orvington. I can,” replied Jones and led the way to a little barn about a mile away. John opened a door and the three stepped inside. Before them stood a large machine of which the men could understand but little until it was explained to them by Jones. It had a series of drills constructed so as to take out about ten cubic yards of rock at once. These were then lifted out by a large clamp, after a small charge of dynamite had been exploded to loosen them. All this was done automatically. From this machine the rock excavated was transferred by rail to another machine which crushed it and it came out as ore ready for smelting. ” That is all very good,” said Orvington, but how are you going to get it to Mars ? ” — 1 35 — THE ANNUAL That is very simple ' replied Jones. This invention is constructed en¬ tirely of small pieces with the exception of the beam. 1 cast all of these myself and can do it again. We can take as many pieces as you can carry conveniently on one trip. Then 1 will melt up the beam and you can take part of it at a time and it can be recast on Mars. Are there men on Mars ? ” Yes, but we can understand but little of what they say, we have, however, become so that we can tell what they mean 1 in that case we will enlist their services and can get along fairly well. There is just one drawback. The air of Mars is much warmer than here on account of its being closer to the sun. The temperature there at midday reaches the neighborhood of 150 °. Can your inventive mind think of something that can be used to relieve us of this ?” Well,” —Jones had an idea but he thought he had better save it, I will think about it and let you know later. Now that 1 am in your company and know its particulars 1 think I can probably help you quite a bit. Where can 1 meet you tomorrow? Meet me at the field at six-thirty sharp. 1 named this hour because I do not wish to arouse too much curiosity. Well, goodbye, Oh! by the way, what is your name?” John Jennings Jones, at your service ’ he replied and forthwith departed with a light heart. The next morning he arose early and having eaten his breakfast started out for the field where he had been the day before. Mr. Orvington was already there and he greeted Jones with a pleasant Good morning, John.” John answered cheerfully and asked if he were ready to start. Yes,” answered Orvington, We will leave in a few minutes. Have you thought of anything to keep us cool ? Well, I have thought of a plan, but would rather see Mars before submitting it. Is it cool there at night? ” Yes, generally it comes down to fifty or sixty degrees.” Then we can work at night!” Oh yes,” Orvington wore a genial smile and seemed happy that morning. Are you ready to start ? If so come this way and I will show you my airship. It is so simple it seems a wonder some one did not make one before me. Come on !” CHAPTER II. Jones went. The outside of the ship was covered with aluminum to pre¬ vent weight. On the front end was a search light and on the rear end a rudder. The inside was a comfortable apartment composed of four rooms. The forward rooms contained the mechanism. The second was the sleeping room with comfor¬ table berths along the wall. The next was a living room containing a library and booth with the wireless telegraph in it. The last room was the kitchen. It was neatly arranged, having water and an electric stove. All the rooms were lighted with electricity. The ship taken as a whole was wonderfully compact and also complete. To an outsider it seemed crowded, but a few minutes inside sufficed to dispell this impression. We are going to start soon now ”, said Orvington, Open all ventilators These were opened and the fresh morning air blew in. —136— THE ANNUAL “ All windows shut, came the order, and they went shut with one accord. Start your motor, and the motor began to sing. “Turn on the propeller, and the whole ship suddenly gave a lurch. Looking out of one of the windows Jones could see the earth fast fading from sight. “Going some, he remarked and Orvington smiled. All went well for half an hour. Then suddenly there was a jerk and the machine came to a sudden halt. “What ' s the matter ? cried Orvington. “Plane has become loose. “ What’s needed ? asked Jones. “Only a screw tightened but the one who tightens it must risk death, re¬ plied the engineer. “We are far from air now. “I will try it, answered Jones, reaching for the screw-driver. “Where’s the screw? “On the far end of the lower plane, the engineer answered, “near the corner. Jones tied a handkerchief around his mouth and went out. He hurried be¬ cause he knew very well how little time he had. He found the screw and tight¬ ened it. He then started back, but before he had gone half way he was reeling so that he could hardly stand. He finally reached the door. Orvington opened it and Jones stepped in. Then everything became black and he knew no more. When he awoke they were on Mars. It was as the men had said, ex¬ ceedingly hot. A man came in and said something that Jones could not understand. He was of a yellowish green color and rather short; of stout build and if it had not been for his color would have been rather handsome. Orvington said if he were able they would go out of the house and look around. Jones said he was feeling fine but rather weak. “ Then you want to go ? asked Orvington. “Certainly, replied Jones. The yellowish-green man led them out of the house and they found that they were in the mountains. The airship rested on the ground a little distance away. “ Look here, said Orvington, and stooping picked up a gold nugget of about the size of an egg. “ Genuine gold, Jones, and has no other minerals in it. No doubt as to whether you will be rich now, is there ? “ I should say not, and Jones feeling exceedingly happy at this moment also picked up a nugget, but this was not so large as the one Orvington had shown him. “ It doesen’t seem to me that you need any mining tools to get this out. It is much easier to just pick it out. “ Oh, I wanted the radium, which can only be found from solid rock. It is much more valuable than gold. My men are out locating a claim now. If you want gold you will find a basket in the house anJ pick up what we can carry back. Jones immediately went back into the house and found the basket. He gath¬ ered nuggets until sunset when he surveyed the pile and set the value at millions. “ We cannot take all this back said Orvington “ But we can take enough to bring you about ten millions. That will be enough to last you awhile I guess. “ Well 1 should say so, answered Jones, “ When do we start back ? —137— t;h e a n:n UAL “ Oh, I think we had better start in about an hour. If you want to take that gold back you had better be loading it. You will find a trap door in the middle of the kitchen floor and the indicator on the wall will tell you when you have enough, that is, all we can carry.” Jones loaded the gold into the airship and soon afterwards they made the trip back to earth without a mishap. Arriving on earth, Jones immediately took his gold from the ship and packed it in a large store box. After he had put in all he nailed the box up again and leav¬ ing Orvington to watch it went to get an express man. He soon returned and the express man went to lift it. “ Well what on earth have you got in there?” he asked in surprise, Jones gave him a smile and said he would go and get some more men and a truck. The box was loaded onto the wagon and the expressman was ordered to go to the First National Bank. When they arrived the box was taken into the bank and the expressman was dismissed. The bank president was full of curiosity when he saw such a large box coming into his bank. “ What have you there ?” he asked. “ Gold.” Was the astonishing answer that he received. “ That’s not all gold,” the Banker returned. “You must be a lunatic. No one man in the whole world ever owned that much.” “ Well perhaps he has some other metal that slightly resembles gold.” “ No such thing,” returned Jones cooly. He had expected this and was pre¬ pared for it. “ Just wait a minute.” He finished opening the box and handed . out one of the nuggets to the president. “Please examine that will you?” Jones then asked him if he could deposit it for him. The banker said he could. “Can you dispose of it for me ? I will give you all you get above two millions. What do you think of my proposition?” “Well from what is there I think there will be quite a sum over two millions. I think I will take the contract. I can sell it to the U. S. Government mint. They will give me full value. I will give you your money next Monday. Is that all- right?” “Yes, I will probably bring more later and.if you treat me honestly you will profit by it.” “ Where are getting all this gold ?” “ Well that is a secret but if you will promise to say nothing, I will tell you.” “ I promise.” “ Well to make a long story short, a man by the name of Orvington invented an airship that can sail to Mars. He formed a company and I belong to it. There are large quantities of gold on Mars and this is some of it.” Jones then left and went to the barn where his drill was kept. He immedi¬ ately began to take it to pieces and by evening he had it all apart. It took several trips to transfer it to Mars but everything went well and he soon had it put together again. They started their mine and were soon taking radium out of the ground. Other -r 38- THE ANNUAL men were taken into the company and today it is one of the richest companies on earth or Mars. Jones is one of the wealthiest men alive. His fortune amounts to several bil¬ lions. He now lives in one of the finest buildings in New York. Around the house are beautiful grounds. He has fountains situated all through them and one, look¬ ing across his grounds would think they were in one of the most beautiful parks in the world. William Peterson, president of the steel foundry of Fountain sa t in his office. There was very little business because the foundry was shut down and every¬ thing was strangely silent. This was all because of the dishonesty of the president. He was the chief stockholder and when the other men of the company found that he was dishonest they withdrew from the company and this ruined the president for he did not have enough money to run it. This morning he was looking at the New York Gazette to see if he could not find an advertisement that said “Man Wanted.” His eye fell upon the following pa ragraph;— “John Jennings Jones, the billionaire of-Street was married to Miss Elizabeth Hathaway, the only daughter of the president of the First National Bank. Mr. Jones had loved Miss Hathaway ever since his youth but until he re¬ cently became rich had considered her above his reach, so far, that there was no hope for him. When he became rich he began to court her and about six months ago they become engaged. Mr. and Mrs. Jones will live in the mansion,-Street. We all wish them a happy future. “And to think that this is what comes to an honest man ' said Peterson as he arose from his chair and putting on his hat started out in search of some posi¬ tion to keep him from starvation. But here tine pipe went out and John Jennings Jones was forced to strike another match. — 139 - THE ANNUAL First Prize for Story Second Prize for Story First Prize for Poem Second Prize for Poem First Prize for Drawing Second Prize for Drawing GEORGE BIDDLE WINIFRED ANGLE GEORGE BIDDLE REBEKAH McDANlEL HARRY HOLDSTEIN - MARIE WEIL —140— THE ANNUAL THE ANNUAL JOKES t Girls! Don’t stop to talk in the halls! Go on! This is not the time to stop and ask Mary if your hat is on straight and Susie if you look pretty. Go on! Hurry up there! As he sat there disconsolately with his book upside down in his hand, he wondered vaguely whom Mr. Hall was lecturing now. He didn’t care though. He felt too bad to care about anything this morning. Well, it was all he r fault any¬ way. She said the first and last word. Of course, he shouldn’t have said what he did but—well, it was all her fault anyway. Maybe he would feel better if he went out into the halls and watched the people for awhile. He might ' ‘kind of” watch for her too, just to see if she looked sorry this morning. Say, what was that awful thundering noise? Oh! It was just Vance Judson coming down the halls. His flute-case was tucked under his arm. It was funny how he walked with his feet at right angles and his head held so stiff and high. Well he guessed Vance was all right and that he was perfectly satisfied with himself. There came Norman and Nellie. They looked even happier than ever this morning. He thought it must be “awful nice” to have a girl to walk to school with every morning. He wished she lived near enough that he could, but then, he believed he might get tired of the same girl every morning. It was a good thing that Norman didn’t, because if he did, it would probably break Nellie’s heart and he was sure that from all appearances Norman wouldn ' t do that for anything. Who was that little fellow coming there ? Oh, that was Bruce Cunningham, that little freshman. Such a walk! It reminded him of the words some one put to Lohengrin ' s Wedding March: “HERE COMES THE BRIDE, SEE HOW SHE WOBBLES FROM SIDE TO SIDE.” Of course, Bruce and the bride would have to change places and Bruce was “marching” at double quick time, but it described him pretty well. There was William Friend. He was just the opposite of Bruce. Just look what terrific big steps he took and how far he swung his arms. He guessed that must be the Cleveland walk, that swinging the arms to knock people out of the way. He didn ' t believe he’d want to cultivate it though; it looked as if one thought too much of one’self. —142— THE ANNUAL There was Lewis Baxter. What did Lewis remind him of ? Oh, he knew, it was a rabbit just peeping over a brush heap before he decided to jump. He wondered too if Lewis’ feet were as heavy as they seemed. He felt sorry for him if they were. There came Rhea and Everett. Look ! By the way she looks up at him, you would think she positively “ adored” him. They were an awfully queer looking couple, Rhea so small and Everett so big, but many queer matches were made these days, and he guessed this was really going to be a match for he had heard that even the wedding day was set. The fellow that was coming down there—he was actually the sleepiest looking mortal that had ever been seen. He wondered if “ Sleeping Jesus ” had been out of bed very long. He certainly didn ' t look it at all. Why, even his walk was as sleepy looking as he himself. There was Harry Holdstein. What a funny creature he was anyway. He believed Harry ' s way might be a convenient one to wear his hair for it would need slight combing. But he might get lazy and let his go altogether like Harry did. He was sure she wouldn’t like it he didn’t comb his hair. What a silly grin Harry had—it was getting to be a perpetual High School joke, just like Leonard Coulter’s college (?) swagger. Well, he guessed he must go back to his room because it was almost time for the tardy signal. There was a whole bunch of girls coming in the east door, Kathleen McClane, Grace Kern, Lucille Gorham and a lot of others. He thought it was funny they didn’t wear hats. He remembered he had heard that going without hats was good for the hair and that rats ” were the worst things. He thought it would be ad¬ visable for them to go without both, but he guessed that hats were too much trouble and that their hair looked like a “ perfect fright” without rats. Why there—there was his brother coming with her ! ! Oh, if he wouldn ' t make his brother pay for that, he would just give it to him good when he got home. She,—well she looked natural but he really believed she looked a little bit sorry. He was ' t going to let her see that he looked sorry, so he would hurry back into the room. The next morning he wondered why he had ever felt so bad. Why, they had made it up just as nice as anything last night. She had even said she had never been mad but was just teasing him. Now he didn ' t care if she walked to school with another fellow every day, because-oh, it was most awful hard to keep, but he wasn ' t going to tell a single person. —143— THE ANNUAL GRINDS Miss Simpson—What was one of George Eliots best known works ?

An Irish drill sergeant was in¬ structing some recruits in the mys¬ teries of marching movements, and found great difficulty in getting a countryman of his to halt when the command was given. After explaining and illustrating several times he approached the re¬ cruit, sized him up silently for a couple of minutes, then demanded his name. “Fitzgerald, sor,” was the reply. “Did you ever drive a donkey, Fitz?” “Yes, sor.” “What did you say when you wished him to stop?” “Whoa !” The sergeant turned away and immediately put his squad in mo¬ tion. After they had advanced a dozen yards or so he bawled out at the top of his lungs: “Squad, halt! Whoa, Fitzgerald!” EYE STRAIN . . AND , .
