HALL. want of a belter token of respect and esteem, we dedicate this book. PROF. H. E. HALL. Mr. Hall has been Principal of our High School for the past ten years. His personality is best revealed in the following lines from Nixon Waterman: A rose to the living is more Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead: In filling love’s infinite store, A rose to the living is more, If graciously given before The hungering spirit is fled, A rose to the living is more Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead. If 1 knew you and you knew me, If both of us could clearly see, And with an inner eye divine The meaning of your heart and mine, I’m sure that we would differ less, And clasp our hand in friendliness; Our thoughts would pleasantly agree If I knew you, and knew me. AVANT Fluttering, spread thy gracious pinions, Gentle Muses, o ' er this book. And we hope herein thy pathways Will not be too oft forsook. Now O Muses,—Our Pegasus— Mount ye him with anxious care, Lest he overthrow and leave thee, Bellerophon’s fate to share.

This year the Board of Education fitted up the room in the north¬ east corner of the basement, in truly regal style. Mission oak tables, hot plates, coffee-pots, etc., etc. The corridor leading to the room was fitted with lockers to hold the dinners safe during school hours. After a suitable “opening” by the faculty the room was turned over to the pupils. The room between Miss Moore ' s and Mr. Baldwin’s was supplied with the best magazines and equipped as a read¬ ing room. The dinner pupils certainly have it on the rest of us now. They are not compelled to walk to some distant home, swallow their dinner whole, and rush back again. All they need to do is to step into the dining hall, eat a nice, warm dinner and then retire to the rest room or library. Dinner pupils, we congratu¬ late you. OBSERVATORY. Astronomy is one of the most interesting studies. It is one of the oldest of the sciences. The earliest records left by man tell of his interest in, and study of, astronomy. As you look out into infinite space, you seem to see the stars gliding across the inside surface of a great, hollow sphere. Among them we see Sirius, the dog star; Arcturus and fiercely-burning Procyon sending its waves of light so distinctly to the eye. These blazing suns are awe-inspiring sights in themselves as looked at with the naked eye. But get a telescope, even a small one, and your vision will be increased wonderfully. By it you will be enabled to see some of the wonders of the solar system ; the beautiful rings of Saturn, the canals of Mars, and the stripes of Jupiter. You can see the great nebulae in Andromeda and Orion, where new worlds are in process of creation. You can see double and triple stars. And as you look and realize that their distances are ex¬ pressed in hundreds of thousands of astronomical units, then and then only are you given a proper conception of the universe in which you live. - 11 - THE ANNUAL At the beginning of the school year, Mr. Hall ransacked the building in an at¬ tempt to find enough pupils interested in astronomy to form a class, and six only responded. This lack of interest is due to the fact that we have no equipment in our High School for teaching such a science. All we have is a gilded dome, re- diculuusly called an observatory, in which were spent thousands of dollars of tax¬ payer ' s money. The teachers are able and willing to teach students who are anxious to stuJy astronomy if given the least encouragement. It ' s somebody ' s move. We have money for this, that and the other tiling, but no money with which to buy a tele¬ scope and suitable equipment for a good observatory. It is the sincere hope of the staff that coming students will have the opportunity of studying this noblest of all sciences with the help of a satisfactory telescope. What is the real cause of cigarette smoking in the High School? Is it the fear of being lost in this motley crowd without a headlight; of passing unnoticed un¬ less puffing away like a locomotive and sending up smoke like a camp-fire? Per¬ haps it is the desire to acquire a bad odor. There are bad smells to be found in every back alley. To be sure, this matter is slightly without the jurisdiction of “ The Annual , but we feel this to be one of the leading questions of the day ; one to be considered and thought about along with High Cost of Living. Perhaps it is the work of a contagious germ. As we ponder upon this and see so many in¬ nocent young men under the spell, this seems very probable. If this is the case, we urgently and earnestly beseech our bacteriologists to set to work to discover a toxine that will rid the land of such a curse. Of course the blame of all the smoking rested originally upon the shoulders of Sir Walter Raleigh. If he were living, we feel that just punishment would be meted out to him. But he has been safely dead these many years ; no doubt went up in smoke. It seems ridiculous that so many up-to-the-minute young men of this day should be content to follow such an old-fashioned custom. We feel that none of these reasons can be applied, and that the real cause for cigarette smoking amoung our boys is a desire to break rules, to be “men , and an awful fear lest the adjective “slow may be ap¬ plied to them. What is truth? That is the question which has confronted the ages. We could give no better advice than that some High School students should find out what truth is and then practice it. If they did, they would have to quit all their lying, deception and trickery. They would have to keep their books closed in class, whether the teacher was in a position to see or not. They would have to cease getting translations from their neighbor. If they promised to write a story for the Annual, they would do it. They would not resort to trickery to secure their grades. Wouldn ' t it be ideal? They wouldn’t lie to Mr. Hall to get an ex¬ cuse, because they would realize that “ murder will out , and the effect would never be forgotten. Always remember, as Bacon puts it, “that clear and sound dealing is the honor of man ' s nature . This year the students of the High School and the people of Mansfield had an opportunity to hear one of the greatest lecturers on the platform today—Byron W. King. The occasion was the entertainment given by the school at the Congrega¬ tional Church with this same King as speaker. He certainly filled the bill, the house, and High School pocket-book. Over $100 was raised to buy pictures with. — 12 — THE ANNUAL TYPES OF HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS. In his walk through life the keen observer sees many types of people. No¬ where does one see more of these types than in the High School. The staff has a point of vantage in the e ditorial room from which we can look out upon our little Mansfield High School world. We see many professional loafers, the intellectual hoboes, who flourish in our INTELLECTUAL midst in great numbers. They are the gentle, retiring HOBO. spirits to whom work is especially distasteful and to whom much labor is a “ weariness to the flesh They believe in doing as they please, particularly when they please to do nothing at all. They toil not, neither do they spin ; and by their own report they are nut only not equal to labor but are superior to it. In short, the intellectual hobo employs the method of “ rough¬ ing it ” to get through High School. The bookworm, though found but rarely, we sometimes see within our halls. THE He lives and moves and has his being in books. He is BOOKWORM. generally pale and inorbiJ ; but exercise would remedy that. He is happiest when buried in his musty books. Oblivious to all going on about him, he ignores his frivilous classmates. Generally he is a girl. Our next type is the rattle-brained girl. It has been sidd that all girls are THE more or less rattle-brained ; but we refer only to the RATTLE-BRAINED variety very much afflicted. Such a girl receives but GIRL. very little benefit from High School. She is quite in¬ capable of an original idea in her silly little head, and just as incapable of retain¬ ing anything from her books. Her thoughts are entirely taken up with her hair and “ him , She is more numerous than she ought to be in the High School. Another type is the dreamer, that mystical spirit whose mind is always soaring THE above the sordid things of earth, while his lessons go DREAMER. unheeded. Perhaps he is growing too fast or he may have a touch of ' spring fever At any rate he finds it much easier to let his thoughts dwell upon the cheerful things of life than to 11 dig n at some proposition to which he “ never could see any sense, anyway However, he should not be condemned too much, for who knows what great things he is planning for the future? The musical organizations in the High School this year are as follows : The Orchestra, made up wholly of players with stringed instruments, and the piano ; the Senior Glee Club, consisting of about twenty members of the Senior Class; a quartette of mixed voices ; the Senior Male Quartette, and the School Chorus, containing all pupils in the Junior and Senior classes. Besides furnishing music for rhetoricals, receptions, etc., in the High School, the orchestra played at the mid-winter session of the Richland County Teachers 1 Institute, and the Glee Club sang at the annual banquet of the Lincoln Association. The musical organi¬ zations also furnished a large part of the music for the concerts given at the Bow¬ man street grade school, which resulted in the purchase of a beautiful piano for that building. — 13 - THE ANNUAL The annual spring concert was given in the First Congregational Church on Friday night, April 29, 1910, to a good and appreciative audience. The chorus of nearly 200 voices made the building ring with the music that had been studied during the year and, together with a miscellaneous programme of vocal and in¬ strumental solos, male and mixed quartettes, and a reading from Julius Caesar, the whole affair was a splendid success. Music will also be well represented in the commencement programme. We wish to thank Mr. Leppo and his assistants for the consideration they have shown us while we were preparing this paper. Many times we have been in their way and hindered them in their work. These people have work to do, and the fact that they looked upon us with so much charity gives us reason for gratitude. We wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to our Advisory Board, Miss Feld- ner and Mr. Marting, whose material assistance has been of such great value to us. Miss Feldner has served in this capacity for several years, and has been a great help to us. The staff is indeed to be congratulated on obtaining one so com¬ petent as Mr. Marting. Having had experience in this line of work before, he has been an excellent critic and at all times a willing assistant. To Mr. Beckett and the commercial pupils who have so kindly assisted in typewriting the manuscripts, and to all teachers and pupils who have taken an interest in our work, we extend our hearty thanks. We are grateful, also, to the business men of the city who have aided us financially by giving us their adver¬ tisements. - 14 — THE ANNUAL Rr A TRIBUTE TO THE COMMON MAN. ] ■■■ ARCHIE NIXON.. Oft are sung, and loud the praises Of the soldier brave and bold. All of the heroic phases Of his grand career are told. tv, Of all this he is deserving, For he surely paid the price, While his country he was serving, Made he many sacrifice. 1 would praise the common man, When in the jolts and jars Of life, he has the grit to stand And nobly bear his scars. The fight is spurred by bravest deeds And by the cannons roar; The worker, by his family’s needs And the wolf at his door. The soldier you may say is brave, And this is rightly true: But show me what kind of a knave, Will rob a slave his due? For is not life a battle field, Adversity the foe, Must he not strong his weapons wield, If through this world he ' d go? Then not alone on soldiers brave, Let us our plaudits shower; But drop with reverence on the grave Of the common man, a flower. - 15 - - THE ANNUAL SUPT. H. H. HELTER, BOARD OF EDUCATION.

THE ANNUAL Of course we couldn’t publish this Annual without some reference to the Faculty. Everybody knows we have one; so what is the use of trying to conceal the fact? We might as well own up to it at once, and make the best of it that we can. A Faculty is a lot of trouble. It takes a long time to learn their dispositions and habits, and then, just as you find you are acquainted with them and able to manage them without any further trouble, the year is over, and next fall you have an entirely new lot to tame. It is discouraging, too, for sometimes after working a whole year with a re¬ fractory teacher, you have to feel that you have failed to reach her or influence her for the better in any way. It is some little comfort though to think that even if we have failed, we have perhaps hewn the way for the next class that is put in charge of her. We are compelled to admit, however, that this past year the task of handling the Faculty has not been at all unpleasant. They are, with a few exceptions, a well behaved, tractable set of teachers. We have reasons to hope that with another year or two of the same sort of discipline that we have given them this year, we shall have them completely subjugated and ready for exhibition to the most exacting of our friends. We trust that when they see this article, with a few of their shortcomings pointed out, they will strive more diligently to mend their ways and will be more amenable to their next year’s instruction from the present under classmen. We Seniors have done all in our power to make them toe the mark, and the advice we leave to the coming Freshmen is this: Begin ear¬ ly, and never despair. Let us examine the Faculty individually, and see what improvement can be suggested. First, there is Mr. Hall, our principal. A pretty good sort of a fellow in a way, but a little too inclined to interfere with our fun in the hallways and else¬ where ; also, always making speeches to us and calling us down. Had the nerve to tell our Art Editor Tie ought to study more. Treats too many students better than they deserve. Always on the firing line. Won’t let the boys smoke in the study room. Plenty of chance for improvement. Then there is Miss Bertha Ruess, our teacher of German. She makes us study too hard, but, nevertheless, she is dear to us all. And Miss Margaret Feldner, also of German proclivities. Another member of the contrary sex. Asks too many questions in class. Sits down too hard on the vivacious ones. Set in her ways, and pretty hard for us to handle. Mr. pr Mrr Beckett, Commercial Branches. Teaches us how to attend to other people’s business. Not much trouble to the main body of students, because he is confined to the third door. Came here from Marion, and we decided not to send him back. - 18 - THE ANNUAL Mr. W. A. Baldwin, Mathematics. A stern, sedate, scholarly bachelor. Would be easier to handle, were he not so mathematically precise. Miss Helen Simpson, English Literature and French. Petite, alert, resource¬ ful. Never lets us go to sleep. Scolds us in English and praises us in French. Miss Mabel Holland, Mathematics. Fair, frank and fearless—as much friend as teacher. Miss Gertrude Jenner, History. Who could criticize Miss Jenner? Much as she expects of us we would willingly do more. A home-grown teacher, and we’re proud of her. Miss Mary Aberle, History and Physiography. A perennial enthusiasm pre- vades her work. She makes us interested in spite of ourselves. Mr. E. L. Marting, Science. The more you know of him the better you like him. Versatile, resourceful and good natured. We couldn’t possibly get along without him. Miss Helen Brown, Latin. After a year’s leave of absence she came back to us, but is no better teacher than she was before. She couldn’t be. Miss Cora Garrison, Latin. Above her door, should be hung this sign, “Let him who enters here, leave sloth behind.” Even a “horse” will not help us to evade her seaching questions. Miss Emily Abbott, English. Quiet, wise and unassuming. Too patient with block heads. Miss Gilbert, Commercial English. Capable, energetic, master of the occasion. A foe to laziness. Makes us work too hard, and practices what she preaches. Gathers us in and watches over us as if we were a brood of chicks. Miss Kate Moore, Algebra. Demure, sympathetic, too optimistic of our abil¬ ity to absorb Algebra. If the Freshmen were not sieves they would contain enough Algebra at the end of the year to supply the state. Mr. H. A. Welday, Public Speaking. Always optimistic, hard-worker, and hard to work. Miss Helen Felger, Study Room, wide-awake, watchful, critical, always on the job. Miss Anna Kemp, Study Room. It’s a pleasure to keep good order in her study room. - 19 - THE ANNUAL — 20 — FRESHMAN CLASS THE ANNUAL Freshmen Class Roll GIRLS Ethel Anderson Emma Au v Helen Bair J Pearl Beam 1 Ethel Dise Feme Bowen Ruth Beck Helen Berry J Lilian Bookwater Edith Becker Blanche Browning Katherine Bushnell Lita Clark Doris Cochran Artie Cairns Dorothy Danr Martha Dew Helen Davis Dorothy Enos Marguerite Ernst Martha Evans Florence Figley Helen Finney Myrtle Fleming Marian Fox J Mary Gadfleld Mildred Fancher Cidelaid Guenther Daisy Gerhart Myrtle Guise Helen Hall Lilian Herr Louis Hantz Irma Hine Olivia Henry Helen Houk Ruth Jolly Helen Jackson Edith King Sarah Jameson V Hazel Kennedy Anna Lehnhart Thelma Laird Georgia Leppo Ruth Leppo Helen Lindsey Winona McFarland Fern McCurdy Winona McPhern Grace Myer Caroline Murphy Thelma Maglott Marian Mulvihill Florence Odenbaugh Nellie Poe Helen Poe Helen Porch dna Patterson Bertice Rees Helen Robinson Nell Robison Hermoine Reinewald Marie Ross Lela Ritchie Rhea Rumpler Katherins Schafer Gladys Stoner Katherine Schwier Anna Sattler Georgia Shyrock Helen Snyder Pearl Spiker Charlotte Stark Amanda Thomas Sara Tracy Mary Taylor Mary Them Rhea Valentine Isabella Van Ness Marie Wigton Florence Wagner Geraldine Willis Dorothy Wagner Chrystine Wagner Ruth Whorel Ruth Wolf ( Marie Wolford - 22 - THE ANNUAL BOYS Clarence Adams Gaylord Adams Clarence Ackerman Clarence Banks Byron Blackburn Leroy Bassett Clarence Burghardt Robert Bissett John Black Aarry Bissett Einer Bergstrom Franklin Bissman Ray Brown Norman Burneson Worthe Bailey Earl Burns Arthur Cline Arthur Culleton Richard Curry Earle Crider Harold Carroll Lester De Yarmon Hermon De Witt Lyle Enlow Clarence Fike Albert Frank John F£ss William Flaherty Glenn Gamber Frank Green Fred Hartz Robert Henry Roscoe Harbaugh Thomas Henry Walter Holstein Orville Hamilton Charles Hutchinson Edward Hink Jack Jessop Harold Kern Harry Kreishner Paul Kelly Edwin Knarr Arnold Kalmerten Harry Laver Wade Laser Joseph Lindley George Miller George Marks Karl Mengert Berlyn McCready Raymond Martin Lather McCally Reed McBride Wilbur Miller Lawrence McDaniel Charles Miller Eugine Miller Raymond Miller Earl McKee Thomas Metcalf Lee Miller Russel Newton Wickham Old Ray Oswalt Edwin Palmer Charles Palmer Clarence Platt Walter Rusk Ogden Remy Henry Sanford Earl Sawhill Samuel Simon Winfield Scott Harold Steele Lynne Smith Forest Seaman Leland Stock Edwin Stander Robert Sturges John eighford Albert Schmutzler Samuel Spetka Louis Them Lawrence Todd Howard Van Allen Russell Whitcomb • Clarence Williams SJlenn Wheaton Paul Weber ' —Albert Wright Paul Whorle Robert Wilcox Walter Yoder — 23 — THE ANNUAL Freshman Poem. Look you back, O little Freshie, To September nineteen nine; When you left the school of childhood; Left the school of reading writin ' , For the school of Hist’ry, Latin. For the school of high up English And the ’rithmetic of letters. Did it not sound fine? O Freshie, You would have no work to do, You ' d have lessons small and few ; You ' d need not take, as of yore, First position on the floor. Look you back, O little Freshie, To that week, some months ago. When your teachers all did warn you Of the tests that come and go; When they said, with hidden meaning In their voices and their eyes, Now no longer shirk your lessons, Study harder every night. If you study, little Freshies, In your tests you’ll come out right”. Look you back, O little Freshie, To the time you fell in test, To the time you got your grade card, You had failed, but done your best. Tread you softly, little Freshie, Speak not proudly of your thoughts ; Close your eyes, O little Freshie, And to dreamland glide away To the time that is to come, To the day not far away, When as Juniors, or as Seniors We’ll get homage we now pay To the time we’ll be respected ; Think again, O little Freshie, That that time’s not far away, Only three more years of climbing Until we shall reach that day. KATHERINE BUSHNELL. — 24 — I THE ANNUAL If the Sophomores pictured the Freshman class of this year as 11 mamma’s darlings , their mental photography, as far as the Freshmen are concerned, was out of commission. Because of the superior class of Freshmen this year they were not as badly treated as in former years. It is true several were compelled to make speeches before a band of noisy Sophomores, but most of them were left unharmed. One problem which confronted them was that of report rooms. Last year the Eighth Grades did not have the opportunity to visit the Freshman report rooms ; consequently many Freshmen got lost, but were soon found and taken care of by Prof. Hall. The fall of the Freshman is usually great, for, after having supreme domain over the grammar grades, he is made the object of all jokes and fun, especially by the Sophomores. But this year the Sophomores were more lenient than usual, because last year they received a double share, and so had pity on those who were passing the same stage this year. The first day there was a great deal of excitement among the Freshmen, for the making out of rosters was new to them ; but when they found where those months led them, and also saw the teachers who would preside over them, they were very much pleased with the aspect of the coming year. Just after the mid-year examinations, Miss Simpson left for a trip to Cuba. During her absence her classes were taken by Miss Laughlin, from the University or Wooster. Everyone liked her very much and were sorry to have her leave when the return of Miss Simpson was hailed in the latter part of February. No complaint has been received from the Freshmen for not being well treated. The class, which is larger than ever before, has already displayed a great deal of talent and there is a good outlook for more in the coming years.

Alice Eiswald Old Sailor Jones came up to town To view our High School o’er, He looked her up, he looked her down, He looked her aft and fore. “ This class ”, said he, as he glanced at me, “ Is much too light of anchor ; It ' s much too light to hold at sea, And something ails the spanker! ” This was the Freshman crowd, you see, That neatly he hauled over, But that, of course, was naught to me, Which spoke this old sea rover. a V o w r , The next we met was the Junior bunch, With their rudderless boat of red. And if you’d heard what he said, I’ve a hunch, It would lay you flat in your bed. For sailors swear both broad and long, If they have only half a chance ; Cause the Juniors have neither color or song, And haven ' t made any advance. The Seniors next came across our way, And Jonesy made a face, “ Altho , said he, f I must say my say, They’ve made a pretty good race! ” And last, and best, that we came across, Was the Sophomores, brave and true, They observe no cost; they acknowledge no loss, And always pay when it’s due. The race is hard, the race is long ; But it all too soon is over, And we are proud of the bold and strong ; And of the Sophomore class, moreover. THE ANNUAL Sophomore Class History Alice Eiswald The cavalcade pulled up with a jerk, or rather, the cavalcades, for several pulled up in front of the brick barn, commonly known as the High School. ' ‘ Well, 1 supppose you people want some fresh horses, yours look rather jaded. 1 guess I can supply you ; those Eighth Grade horses never were much use, anyhow. Here, Faculty, lead out some Freshman horses ; about one hundred and fifty will do M . All this from Mr. Hall, the boss of the Stable. The cavalcades, now united into one, started after considerable delay, but they hadn ' t more than reached Thanksgiving corner before the boss ' voice was heard: “ Here, you ! Stop a minute! You boy over there, your Latin curb needs tightening ; and your History saddle needs another girth, girl; furthermore, there are about six of you whose Algebra blankets has slipped away on one side. And over there is a boy whose horse has a stone in its Physical Geography shoe. That’ll do now. Mount! Draw rein ! Move ! and we’re off again, never pull¬ ing up until we reach Sophomore town. Just now we are looking toward Junior town. For a part of us, at least, the journey has been very tedious. From the first days of the school year, we noticed something the matter with our Caesar horses. They have been most decidedly lame all year. No amount of prodding and spurring, on our part, would urge them on to the usual gait, until our good friend Mr. Hall came to our relief. He politely told us to dismount, and be ready to aid Mr. Helter, Miss Brown and Miss Garri¬ son, whose specialty was to treat the ailments of Latin horses. With the utmost patience and kindness did the doctors minister to our mounts and to us, for we were very badly shaken up, as one is apt to be after riding a lame horse. For five weeks they loyally aided us, and if we are not far better prepared for the rest of our journey it is not their fault. —32— THE ANNUAL Junior Class Officers.

Most of us were frightened or wary of her, for this was our first trip. Aeronaut Hall soothed the terrified passengers who threatened to jump overboard, and doctored with skillful hand the (hot) air sick ones. He was assisted in the work by a corps of kind and patient helpers. We had just become used to the motion when a black, threatening, cloud de¬ scended upon us. While Exam, cloud hovered over us, every one was gloomy and despondent. After it passed, nearly all again began to enjoy the travels and by the end of the year, we were eager for more. The next trip was enjoyed very much by all the passengers. Some had been overcome by Exam, cloud, and some had fallen overboard after starting. However, the most of us valiantly kept on our way. And now for the third time we are on our journey in a red and white aero¬ plane, and so far we have progressed very well. We hope soon to reach the end of our journey and are looking forward eagerly to the time next year, when we shall in a smoothly sailing airship, lead the procession across the sky to the castle of learning. -38- THE ANNUAL Junor-Senior Reception ■ j -2 The evening of the first of April was the time chosen by the Juniors to give the annual reception to the Seniors. Preparations had been in progress for some time and the result was one which amply repaid their efforts. The colors used throughout were the colors of the High School, white and red. The auditorium, with its beautiful decorations, presented a scene of gay festivity. A large red bell was suspended from the chandelier in the center of the ceiling, from which bunting was looped to the sides of the room. At the front of the stage a huge flag was artistically draped and used for a drop curtain, other flags decor¬ ating the walls. As the guests ascended to the auditorium they were each presented with a program of the evening’s entertainment. These were in the form of small red and white pennants, tied with red ribbon, marked ’ll and ’io. The program opened with an overture by the orchestra. This was followed by an address of welcome from the Junior president, Byron Crider, to which the Senior president, Clarence Martin, responded. Wilbur Hegnauer’s vocal solo, The Gypsy Song , was rendered in a most commendable manner. Mr. Belling¬ ham then delighted the audience with the beautiful song, Daphne’s Love.” The programe was completed by the farce, The Deaf Man.” Winifred Angle played the part of Eglantine in a charming manner, while Lawrence Hughes, as her father, was most realistic. The portrayal of the darkey, Boniface, by Ray Kline, threw the audience into an uproar of laughter. Russell Bissman played the role of the dashing Placida in a praiseworthy manner. Robert Bushnell took the part of the field keeper, and Leroy Willis that of the gardner. After the farce a delicious luncheon was served in the dining rooms. The guests then assembled about the piano, or sought out the picturesque cozy corners and spent the time in genial conversation for the rest of the evening. At a late hour all departed congratulating the Juniors on the success of the reception. -40- THE ANNUAL Senior Officers.

At first we followed verdant streams, Pursuing knowledge from afar; And patiently we trudged along, And sought her portals to unbar. With measured tread, the second year, We kept the gate before our view, Tho many lagged behind, our heads With egotism swelled and grew In Junior year, we strolled along, With still more slow and measured pace; And many languidly gave up, Content to drop out from the race.

Tht ttti — 58 — THE ANNUAL I Now that the glamorous years of High School life are almost past, and the sharp edges of our past experiences are dulled, if not entirely worn away by the sobering effect of twenty recitations a week, we can sanely and seriously look back in those happy years and plainly see their follies. As Freshman we committed the serious folly of thinking we were it. But alas for us, scoffed at by Sophomores, smiled at by Juniors, and lorded over by Seniors, we were soon made to feel our proper places. However, we bore up bravely under these humiliations and entered M. H. S. as Sophomores, more con¬ ceited than ever. In our second year we became more reckless, our visits to the office more and more frequent (for what reasons we discreetly refuse to say), and we at¬ tempted to pay back with compound interest the insults we received as Freshmen. As Juniors we conducted ourselves with the utmost propriety until reception time. Then we gave vent to all our stored-up energy and cut classes right and left until the teachers raised a hue and cry. However, as finals drew near, we began to have a faint conception of the seriousness of life and follies of past years. The next year we assumed the title of Seniors and walkeJ forth in our splendor. This was the time to strut with elevated heads among the lower classmen; to “cut” with reckless abandon and awe the Freshmen. This was the time to pre¬ pare for graduation with all its attending duties, to neglect all else. And we did it. Soon we will leave the familiar halls;—soon our paths must separate. Each will enter a new sphere. Some may write names on the Halls of Fame. But we will all look back with pleasure, indeed, affection, to the joys—yea, even the fol¬ lies of M. H. S. - 59 - the annual I As 1 read the daily papers Of the great men and the less, Of the feats of brain and muscle Done by graduates of M. H.

[ On Sunday morning, September 26, 1909, Superintendent Charles Liggett j Van Cleve, of Toledo, died of apoplexy. He had been in the best of health and spirits, making the shock to his family and friends all the greater. In the prime I of his manhood, just when his prospects were brightest for the highest success in the work he loved, he passed beyond the shadow, and this state sustained a great loss. Funeral services were held at Toledo, Wednesday morning at 8:30. At 10 o’clock the funeral train left for Troy, Ohio, where he was buried the same af¬ ternoon. A large number of Superintendents and other educators assembled at Toledo to pay their last tribute of respect, and a still larger number attended the services at Troy. Mr. Van Cleve became Superintendent of the Mansfield schools in 1902. Af¬ ter a period of service of five years here, came his election to the Superintendency of the Toledo schools. The pupils, teachers and citizens of Mansfield loved and ' respected him. They recognized his stability of character and his untiring energy. He won the trust and respect of everyone because of his devotion to the highest ideals of Christian living, of domestic virtue and of public rectitude. His clean, manly character and his ideals of life were an inspiration to all who came within his personal influence. Hundreds of men and women are better men and women because Van Cleve lived. A better monument than can be jf made from bronze or marble exists for him in the love and respect for his memory in the hearts of his pupils and friends. Filled with sorrow by his death, we yet rejoice in the life he has lived; vig¬ orous, scholarly, fearless and uncompromising when any question of integrity was at stake; a life which will ever be an inspiration to all who knew him. Were a star quenched on high, „ For ages would its light, Still traveling downward from the sky Shine on our mortal sight. So when a great man dies, For years beyond our ken, The light he leaves behind him lies Upon the paths of men. -65— THE ANNUAL —G6— ORGANIZATIONS THE ANNUAL ■ -i After last year ' s splendid teams had given us just cause to have the swellhead ”, we were compelled to buy smaller hats again after the unenviable records made by this year’s teams. Base ball has not been started yet, but we have better prospects for a good team in this line of sport than in any other. But after all, those teams which were poor this year will be better next, since scarcely any team is badly crippled from the loss of players by gradua¬ tion. The spirit of the High School toward ath¬ letics is growing weaker; but it will never die, and will surely grow stronger with the teams. Mr. Marting has taken especial pains to elevate the athletics to the high plane upon which they now rest. As a coach he is a “ dandy ”, and as a finan¬ cial manager—well, we haven’t ended a season of any kind of athletics with a deficit since he has been handling the money. —67— THE ANNUAL THE WEARERS OF THE Ni Au Remy Longsdorf Judson Schwier Pollock McCready Tappan Schad T Scott Shaw Hagerman Hughes Stoodt Super, Capt.

THE ANNUAL BASKET BALL The basket ball season as a whole was only partly successful, but considering the fact that the team was made up entirely of “ green material ” the work was in the highest degree commendable. The great feat of the season was the defeating of Mt. Vernon High School by the score of 114 to 1. At the Ohio Wes¬ leyan basket ball tournament we lost the first game to West Milton High, thus forfeiting the opportunity to play in the finals. THE SEASON ' S RECORD. M. H.

THE ANNUAL THE ANNUAL BASE BALL It was decided to discontinue baseball for this season because of its inability to support itself financially. But later the faculty mana¬ ger permitted us to arrange games away from home. 1 he team looks as good as ever with a goodly number of last year ' s team in school and plenty of good material to fill up the “holes caused by graduation. If any men can get a good team out of the material at hand they are Coach Marting and Captain Stoodt. | l — 75 — THE ANNUAL —70 - THE ANNUAL - 77 — THE ANNUAL ORCHESTRA — 78 — THE ANNUAL I i SENIOR GLEE CLUB — 70 — THE ANNUAL Every year many changes are made in the course of study. This year a new branch, that of public speaking, has been introduced under the direction of Mr. Welday. Classes for one period a week were formed among the Juniors and Seniors. The text-book “Public Speaking ' by Fulton and Trueblood, was adopted by the school board, to be used in this study. Besides the weekly classes, several programs have been given. The First one took place the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. A short miscellaneous pro¬ gram was followed by a selection from the play, Rip Van Winkle. At the Christ¬ mas Rhetoricals were given recitations, discussions and parts of “The Birds ' Christmas Carol.” The last program was given on Lincoln ' s birthday. The most interesting feature of this entertainment was the debate on, “Resolved that Capital Punish¬ ment should be Abolished. The affirmative was upheld by George Biddle and Ralph Rust, while the negative was defended by John Fribley and Archie Nixon. After a spirited rebuttal the negative won. Although Mr. Welday ' s classes have been interrupted a great many times by the sickness and absence of teachers, whose places he was obliged to fill, they have never-the-Iess been a decided success and we feel that a long-felt want has been supplied by the introduction of this new branch. — 80 — THE ANNUAL — 81 — THE ANNUAL The Bigot He loudly did contend the earth was flat; Denied it moved; declared it never spun; Stood still in space—the only one The Mighty Architect did build, and that It never changed the least since time ' d begun. He was of the belief that His fiat, The Written Word, could all men heed; and shun The shadows which the devil’s art begat. He never read the books that would inform, Or reasoned with himself. But still was he A happy soul to whom conceit was bliss. Thus stirred a block. It only could perform, But never think. And sentimentally he ' d say : Twice two are five ; faith proves all this — 82 — THE ANNUAL The Discovery of America Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa at an early age. His father and mother were both Italians, and I believe he was one, too. They named him Christopher so that he could become the famous Christopher Columbus. Chris¬ topher then jumped into the Rubicon and said, “the die is cast. He made an egg stand on end, and then said, “I must now go and discover America. M But Christopher was poor and hadn’t any ships. So he went to the King and said, King, help me discover America. But the King said, sh-h, let’s go in here and have one. Then he got Columbus off in one corner, and said, See, here, Mr. Columbus, don’t be a fool. Let those Yankees alone, or you’ll stir up a big mess of trouble. America doesn ' t need discovery. Just wait till Teddy Roosevelt comes along, and he will let us know it ' s there. But Christopher went away, shaking his head sadly, and muttered: Ah me! I must discover America. Give me liberty or give me death, now and forever, one and inseparable! So Christopher asked some more kings, but they said, No, we are happy without America. Stand pat, Chris, old boy! Let well enough alone! Chicago and New York are too wicked to be discovered. Then Columbus was mightily discouraged; and he sat down, and while he was sitting there he happened to remember that verse in the Third Reader; If at first you don’t succeed, Try, try again. And he decided to play his queens next, to see if he couldn’t take the trick that way. So he went to queen Isabella of Spain, and said, Queen, what a beautiful hat you have on! Won’t you help me discover America? And Isa¬ belle said, Why, of course I will, Chris., you old flatterer. Do you really think it is becoming? And just think, it only cost $4.98, etc., etc., etc., and so forth. So Queen Isabella set Columbus up to three schooners, and Columbus sailed over the raging main. He sailed, and sailed, and sailed, and then sailed some more and didn’t see a solitary thing except water. On the way, his crew joined the Union and got up a strike. They went to Columbus and said, See here, Mr. Columbus, we won’t sail more than eight hours a day after this. See? You old bloated capitalist. Then Columbus gave them each a gum drop and they were satisfied. Then they sailed some more. One day they saw something sticking up out of the water, and they yelled, Hooray, it’s land. And it was! When they got nearer they saw some figures, dancing and yelling like mad. And Columbus said, Shade of George Washington; they act like Indians. And that’s how the Indians got their name. When they got nearer, Columbus called and asked, Are you Indians? Yes, answereJ the chief, are you Columbus? I cannot tell a lie, sobbed our hero. I am. Then we are discovered, said the Indian. Here are the books. Exam¬ ine them and see what the shortage is. A woman drove me to it. Then Columbus landed, and said, It’s good to be on terra cotta again. Has - 83 - THE ANNUAL Dr. Cook been sneaking around here?” And the Indians told him that Dr. Cook had not come further west than the Canary Islands. So Christopher telegraphed back to Queen Isabella, “Dear Izzie; Have made good. Got the flag nailed to America. Don ' t believe anything Dr. Cook says. Got him nailed, too. The old liar, rascal, impostor and scoundrel. (Copyright 1492). And Isabella telegraphed back, “Good. Bring Marshall Field ' s catalog back with you. Ferdinand wants to know who won, Detroit or Pittsburg. So Columbus set up a fruit store and, when he had enough money, sailed back to Spain. I think he then went on the lecture platform for awhile. He made three more trips to America, and on the last one the Black Hand got him and put him in chains. Later on he died. After he died he was buried. He is still dead. Columbus had a good character and never got married. Also he never got divorced and never told a lie. He suffered many misfortunes. Columbus, Ohio, was named after him. He was the first Italian that ever came to this country, but he set the fashion, and now never a day goes by without some dagoes buying transportation to America. — 84 — THE ANNUAL Melancholia Another sun lias set, Another day is passed ; Has left with all its toil and fret One nearer to the last. And all alone I think Upon my life’s weak chain ; As yet ’tis short, yet every link Was welded with a pain. Blame not him in the wrong Who sees two sides of life; Whose litany is not a song When half his term is strife. Since in a fatal hour This mind was given birth, He never let me love the flower, But only showed the earth. Oh, pity him who keeps His misery alone; Who quick forgets the joy he meets, To bear his burden home. To him who thus is cursed Existence is a sham, The better take he for the worse, His blessings for a ban. The howl of wind I hear, The whistle’s distant shriek; The cup doth spill the perfect beer, Its dregs can never le ak. Our friendship that is dead, And words that carry grief, The melancholy soul is fed And filled without relief. By day all nature plots My ardor to destroy, Its cogencies are casting lots And make my thread a toy. To toss and wait on sleep Will ever be for him Whose thoughts are with his woes re¬ plete; Fiends haunt sleeps interim. As sure as Mars doth burn And slumber’s sweet as death, I came here but this truth to learn; There’s nothing gained in breath. Another sun has set, Another day has passed; We fain would live our days, but yet A sweet day is the last. — 85 — THE ANNUAL A Practical Joke on a Practical Joker. _ Dudes are usually disliked by students. In this case the dude was Algerton Stross, a young fellow whose only bad habit was a weakness for dress. His troubles began when he tried to combine a short-cut coat and a silk tile, which easily made him the most conspicuous object of the school, and he a Freshman, too. This combination began to get on Jack Owen’s nerves. Jack was a practi¬ cal joker, whose delight was to humiliate Freshies , and Algy was to be his next victim. He had already procured a large quantity of rotten eggs, a crowd of boys to throw them, and a place to ambush poor Algy. The only part of the joke uncompleted was, how to draw the victim into the trap. Knowing that Algy could be found almost any evening in Blackie Scott’s room, Jack made Blackie a visit. “ Say, old man, if I let you in on a good joke will you help us through with it? ” “ Sure! ” grinned Blackie. “ Well, you tell Algy to get ready and I’ll call around and take him out to see some lady friend. Think it will work? ” “ Sure! he’s daffy after girls. Why, he’ll jump at the chance ”, responded Blackie. Say, don’t be a clam, open up, what’s the rest of it ” ? “ Well ”, cautiously began Jack, when we leave here I ' ll suggest the short cut through the lumber yard. See? Just when we come to the center of the yard, Hardy is to whistle. I drop, and the rotten eggs fall on our beloved friend, Algerton Stross. Oh, lordy! I can see him now”, laughed Jack as he left the room. • l Well, of all the nerve! ” exclaimed Blackie to himself. ” I suppose he’s forgotten that ice bath he gave me last week, and the dozens of other beastly tricks he’s played on me ”. “ Well, my dearly beloved friend ”, he grinned, imitating Jack, we’ll turn the tables on you or know the reason why,” and he chuckled to himself. Soon after Algy came to chat with Blackie. “ Say, Algy, want to meet some young ladies this evening”? “ Who? Where? Most certainly I do ”, exclaimed the excited Algy. It is unnecessary to follow their conversation, but, sufficient to say, that Algy left Blackie ' s room with instructions to stumble just in the middle of the lumber yard. The night was very dark and very favorable for Jack’s plans. Jack and Algy chatted gaily on, each laughing up his sleeve at the joke that was to be play¬ ed upon the other. As they entered the lumber yard, each tried to attract the other’s attention until they reached the center. Suddenly Algy tripped on some¬ thing and went down with a loud grunt; instantly a great volley of eggs pouring from every direction crashed with loud reports upon the bewildered Jack. Be¬ coming rattled, he ran with all his might for the nearest dormitory, followed by the crowd of whooping boys, pelting him at every jump. — 8 ( 3 — THE ANNUAL Almost out of breath, he dashed for Blackie’s room. He entered without knocking. Oh, lordy! ” he gasped, as he heard four girls scream as only frightened girls can, “ this ’aint Blackie ' s room. Oh, it’s the girls dormitory!” and he beat a hasty retreat, only to be seized by a lusty janitor, who shook and kicked him till his teeth chattered. But this was not all. A ” cop ”, attracted by the loud screams, came running up just in time to ” nab ” Jack as he was ejected from the door on the point of a No. n boot. That night he spent in the city jail, with his egg-bespattered clothes on, too. Algy had seen the “ cop ” nab poor Jack and hurried to Blackie ' s room to see what could be done for his release. After listening to the whole story, Blackie simply doubled up with laughter. With the reputation for doing a thing well while he was at it, Blackie hurried to the police station. After giving the full details of the whole affair to the night chief and the reporter, he asked the chief to release Jack the next morning. Jack never knew who had obtained his release, but imagine his consternation that evening on looking over the paper to find a glaring headling, reading, ” Dis¬ graceful Conduct of a University Student Causes Big Sensation ! ” It is safe to say that Jack ' s career as a practical joker was ended then and there. f — 87 — THE ANNUAL Martineau’s Experiment The newest thing about the “new education” is the type of schoolmaster which it has introduced. The grim visaged flogging tyrannical pedagogue our fathers delight to tell about and the traditional birch rod that he rarely spared has vanished with the “little red schoolhouse” that he presided over. His place has been taken by the immaculate, bespectacled college graduate, inclined early to baldness and late to matrimony. Methods have changed likewise. Fear of the swish of that birch rod used to be the spur that moved lagging young America more rapidly along the path of knowledge; ignorance, there, instead of being a bliss, became more often a blister. But the modern educator, ably flanked by his psychology, tells us that these re¬ luctant toilers must be won over to their involuntary labor through that incompre¬ hensible something said to make the world go round—love. The teacher whose pupils do not feel an affection for him may seek a new vocation. There is no place in the new education for him. Martineau, the teacher of chemistry in the High School, knew his pedagogy. Though an artist in his line, he knew that as a magnetic personalty capable of binding his pupils to him with hoops of steel, he was not a success. And possess¬ ing a sensitive soul, he let his knowledge worry him. He assumed the Herculean task of trying to please everybody at the same time; and it is not improbable that his pillow often bore moist evidence of his failure. Could anything have been more praiseworthy than the persistence and vani¬ ty of his efforts to gain the favor of his classes? Could anything have been more discouraging than the futility of his attempts? He made his lessons easy and his classes called him a “snap a cinch” or a “berry ' He made the work hard, and they organized a strike. He was jovial, told stories, and cracked jokes; and they laughed at him and looked solemn at his jests. He was austre and dignified, and they voted him a dry old bore. He tried sarcasm, and the victims openly rebelled. He tried lavish praise, and the flattered ones, easily convinced of their superior intelligence, at once began to shirk. He scolded, and they frowned; he plead, and they were indifferent; he pic¬ tured the delights of possessing knowledge, and they looked bored. In short, his inspirational temperature was zero, and there was nothing in his well-thumbed books on method” to help him out. There was one winsome little Senior especially that he tried to please, excus¬ ing her from recitations occasionally, inflating her term grade, and tramping three miles through a snow storm to take her a book that she asked for. But she was a woman and more changeable than the moon. Martineau was fairly bewildered by her whims, and the smiles he got from her were few and far between. — 88 — THE ANNUAL Thus was Martineau continually disappointed. He was at his wit’s end to know just what to do next. Ah! perhaps if he could be a hero, then the respect and affection that he craved would be his. He studied and conjured. One morning about two, his inspiration came. His plan was instantly formed. He had just been experimenting with the element volile, and had discovered that under certain conditions, simple to arrange, it would explode with a momen¬ tary flame but a dense outpouring of smoke. If, in some way, a quantity of this element were to explode, the building would be filled with smoke; and if, at this moment, a certain chemistry teacher should show himself fearless and dauntless amid this apparent danger, would not the aforesaid teacher be recognized? Thus bravely reasoned Martineau. How simple! Why had he not thought of it before? It was a last resort. Within a week, he had secretly completed his arrange¬ ments. From the electric light he attached wires to the clock hands of the labor¬ atory clock and thence to the catch basins. By skillful manipulation he made it possible to send, at any desired time, a current through the basin. Choosing a favorite morning when he was sure one senior in particular would be present, he turned off the water, filled the basins with the liberal quantity of volile, set the mechanism to complete the current at nine o’clock—the time for the morning class of girls—and then summoned his class to the laboratory for an experiment. Having set them busily at work, he found a pretext to leave, and went to his room across the street. Fifteen minutes passed. The hands of the clock approached nine, closer and closer. Work in the laboratory was going briskly on amid feminine chatter. Suddenl y the climax came. A belch of flame, a surge of blending smoke from twenty volcanic lavations, a simultaneous shriek from twenty feminine throats. Frightened teachers and pupils formed out of the building. Horrified they saw smoke issuing from the laboratory on the third floor, and panic sticken girls with white faces at the windows. At the psychologic moment, Martineau appeared. Hatless, he rushed across the street, and disappeared into the building. He thrilled as he bounded up the steps. His plan promised success better even than he had dreamed. Rushing into the laboratory, he found his class hud¬ dled tygether in helpless confusion, with a calmness which his elation made diffi¬ cult to assume, he spoke to them, marshalled and directed them, piloted them to the fire escape at the rear of the hall and gallantly helped them out onto it. A cheer came up from below. But where was the winsome Senior? He hastened back to the laboratory, and found her, too weak from shock to move. Here,” cried Martineau, “let me help you out of this quick!’’ Her answer was cut off by a sudden flash of light, a sharp explosion, the crash of the door as it swung violently shut. Martiueau felt a stinging sensation on his cheek, and putting up his hand, found it covered with gore. Some benzine overturned by a student in the excitement of the first explosion had trinkled along the desk, had been ignited by a burning gas flame, and had, in turn, set off the large supply bottle of the same liquid. It was a piece of flying glass that cut Mautineau ' s cheek. - 8y THE ANNUAL Martineau had not counted on this. His first instinct was self-preservation. He rushed for the door; the catch was sprung. He tried to turn it back, in his terror and bewilderment, but it caught and stuck fast. Another bottle of benzine let go. ‘‘My God,” he cried, “it is broken and we are locked in! What shall 1 do!” And he turned as if in appeal to the girl. And the courage that had oozed out of him seemed to be entering the girl. She straightened up, hastened across the room, fumbled with the lock a moment, and turned it back. Opening the door, she, without looking around and with on¬ ly one word, Come,” led the way to the fire escape; Martineau, still dazed and shaken, followed meekly. Following the girl out the window, he was poised upon the sill just as another roar sounded from the laboratory. Either through fear or by the force of the explosion, he was precipi¬ tated forward upon the landing. To the crowd below it looked like the exhaustion that follows heroic exertion. When at length Martineau was able to clamor down to the ground he was seized by a crowd of students, lifted to their shoulders, and given a great ' ovation. The next morning, Martineau looked complacently at his image in the mirror. Court plaster decorated his cheek, he had sported a pair of trousers and had lost a laboratory bench—but he was a hero! What recompense! He smiled, and smil¬ ed again to see the reflection smile back at him. And the winsome Senior girl? She kept her counsel; but Martineu tramped no more through three miles of snow to lend her a book. — 90 — THE ANNUAL f i I The Nightmare One night when all should be asleep, Something I heard come down the street. It walked in through the tight closed door, Its step 1 heard on the down hall floor. I wondered what the sound could be, But was too scared to go and see. I heard it starting up the stair, And gave me such an awful scare. I wondered where it wished to go, It seemed to walk so very slow. One step, two steps, three steps and four, 1 hoped that it would come no more. And when it stood beside my bed I felt my heart go down like lead. And when it talked its voice did crack As though for breath it had a lack. And all it said in that stern way, Were these four words, You’ll have to stay”. And then, refusing more to say, I asked, What means all this, 1 pray”? Then spoke it in a scornful voice, As though for me was left no choice, You failed’ 1 . — 91 — THE ANNUAL The Wedding March The odor of anaesthetics was strong in the room, and the form of the little girl was motionless beneath the white covers. Mother ”, the sweet little voice pleaded, “ Mother, what does he say about it”? The mother, blinded with hot tears, bent over the little figure. ” Dearest ”, she began, then choked with sobs ; “ Dearest, he says may be nev-” “ Don’t go any further, mother. | know now. And mother, tell Gordon not to feel too bad about it, because it was just as much my fault as his. And now ”, with a brave little smile, ” we’ll try to be just as happy as ever we can, you know ”, And there in the stillness of the room the child faced that awful life problem—she would never walk again. When she fell asleep some time later the pillows were wet with tears and the sweet, upturned face still bore their traces. When the mother left the room she had almost stumbled over a figure huddled at the top of the stairs close to the little girl’s room. It was a twelve year-old fellow, crying as if broken hearted. The little girl had been his life-long playmate, and he had thrown her down, and may be she would never walk again. With tears in his eyes and still shaking with sobs, he went down to the piano and with delicate fingers that would scarcely move he played the little German melody they had both learned to play and to love. ” It won’t make her well ”, he remarked, ” but it might help some ”. The days and weeks passed slowly, and each brought more strength and more help to the little girl. At the end of a year she was able to be braced with pillows and sit up in bed. Another year, and every day one might see the little figure at the window, half buried in the invalid chair. She was twelve then, and she wept bitter tears of envy when she saw the little girls, hair streaming, fly past on their roller skates. At sixteen, she envied the rosy-cheeked school girls who, with well-worn books under their arms, filed past on their way to school. Letters came every week from the boy who had gone to school, and then to Europe, and had not been home since three weeks after the accident. They were friendly letters, but six years of separation, with every memory broken, had made the boy forget the girl as she really was, and, being young, he filled the let¬ ters with the joy of life and the keen pleasure he took in his work. Often the girl would draw his last letter from her belt to read of the wonder¬ ful progress he was making with his music, while hot tears fell upon the pages and blurred the writing until she could no longer read it. The day the girl was nineteen, a great physician came and gave her the most wonderful and beautiful birthday present she ever received. It was the message 92 - THE ANNUAL that with the aid of crutches she might walk again. The girl was very happy, and a beautiful little song fled through her brain, but when she tried to catch it again to sing it, it was gone, and its place was taken by a hundred indistinguish¬ able ones, each with a different melody but the same theme—happiness. The girl soon learned the use of her crutches and went nimbly about the house, happy and care-free as a child. She had her piano moved out under the trees in the beautiful garden, and, as her strength permitted, she learned to play the exquisite little melodies that had lately filled her mind. It was indeed a strange, strange sight to see the beautiful young girl at the piano in the dusk of evening, and strangers, who did not understand, shook their heads and murmured, ” Too bad . One melody had, on account of its stately style, been called The Wedding March, and it became a favorite of the girl’s. Then one day the boy came home, and what a handsome fellow he was ; a tall, well-built man of the world. He came constantly to see the girl, and each received keen enjoyment from the long afternoons spent together. The boy de¬ lighted in relating to so attentive a listener the wondrous tales he had learned in his foreign travel; and the girl was content to sit and listen, and to watch his face and the restless play of the graceful, muscular hands. Often, too, they would spend a whole afterno on playing for each other. The beauty and strength with which the boy played the masterpieces charmed the girl, and the sweet simplicity of her melodies delighted and touched the boy be¬ yond measure. On damp days, when the piano was secure on its small platform under the waterproof covering, which had been made especially for it, hours were spent in the house writing out and putting words to the little songs. One day The Wedding March was in question, and the two heads were bent over the paper. The poem began, “Come forth my love to meet me ”, and was not suited to music, but the words were so beautiful and the sentiment so charmingly expressed, that the girl would use no other. Each brain was busy trying to supply necessary notes or words when an idea occurred to the boy, and he began: “ Come forth, my love, to meet me, With outstretched hands 1 walk to meet thee . “ I would rather not use those words, Gordon, because you see—oh! I cannot tell you ; but let us find some other. Let me have the paper a moment . And so the boy, with wondering eyes, handed it to her. Their hands met and were quickly parted ; he started to speak but was restrained by a single gesture. A new knowledge had come to the boy, and both were startled into an unnatural reserve of manner. Deftly the girl swerved the conversation to other topics, and presently, when the boy left, the same friendly footing seemed to have been reached again. For a long time after he was gone the girl sat motionless in her chair and only the lights and shadows in her eyes told anything of her thoughts. A great weari¬ ness possessed her, and through her confused brain the few words went again and again, “ With outstretched hands I walk to meet thee The boy paced his room in feverish haste until his mother, alarmed, came to see what was the matter. A glance was enough to tell her, for she was one of the countless mothers who always understand. A glance was also enough to re¬ awaken within her an old, old sorrow, and going into her room she passed through another great life test. She replied that she must give her boy up and welcome - 93 - THE ANNUAL into her home whomsoever he had chosen for a life helpmate, for well she knew what disasters may be wrought by the selfishness of a mother. The boy dared not go near the girl’s house for some time and he caught no inkling of what a wonderful thing had happened there. A great surgeon had come, and again the odor of anaesthetics had filled the room, but this time a blue gowned woman went quietly to and fro, instead of the mother. The great man had anxiously watched the face of his patient at the time of the most critical moments, and a great, triumphant feeling surged through him when, with a long, tremulous sigh, she had opened her eyes. He had successful¬ ly accomplished one of the greatest triumphs of modern surgery. He had made it possible for the girl to walk again. It was a beautiful thing for the girl, and though she received the news quietly an old hope grew and blossomed within her. The days that followed were filled with a certain anxiety; but permanent cure was almost assured, and soon each day brought more strength. It was some time before the girl dared attempt to walk. The first step was tried under the nurse’s supervision, but was a failure, and the girl was forced to fall back against the strong supporting arm, reluctantly perhaps, but murmuring, “Soon now—oh, surely soon Some nights after the boy, unable to stay away any longer, entered the garden about dusk. Having gone this far he was tempted to go on, but some restraining force seemed to warn him not to. It seems that Fate has a way of keeping us from our pleasures as long as she dares, that when the fulfillment of our longing has been realized we may enjoy the happiness more keenly. Something prompt¬ ed him to open the piano, so he laid back the covering, opened it and began to play the little melodies that he, too, had learned to love. His fingers wandered from one to the other until of their own accord they began The Wedding March. At a window that opened into the garden sat the girl, resting after a tiresome day of learning to walk again. She had not yet dared to try to walk to the garden, but the longing for it was strong, and she had gone as near as she could. At the sound of the first note of the piano a hot wave swept over her and she half rose from her chair, but a sharp twinge of pain made her fall back again. However, at the sound of The Wedding March an almost supernatural strength seemed given her, and she arose and started for the garden. Just as she reached the porch the music ended, and she paused, undecided whether to go on or not. But softly, and with a beautiful longing for it, the music began again, and the girl started down the path. The boy ' s head wa s bent and he was singing the rejected words of the march. He was thinking what a beautiful thing it would be if he could lift his head and see the girl walking toward him. Ah, walking! At the thought a great hurt gripped his heart and he raised his eyes to look toward the house, from whose doors the girl would never come except on crutches, and through whose doors he dare not enter now. “ If she could only walk”, he said, half aloud, when across his vision came a beautiful figure—a figure beautiful enough to him to have been made of all the intangible beauties of the dusk into one most perfect tangible form. It was surely the girl, for there was a wonderful light in her eyes and a sweet smile trembled on her lips as she half sang and half cried:— “ With outstretched hands 1 walk to meet thee ”. — 94 — THE ANNUAL Stenographic Report of a Chemistry Lecture [Editor’s Note—T his report was handed in by a Junior, as being typical of the thoroughness and detail which characterize their work in Science.] The class will come to order. If we are all here, we will now begin. Those who are not here today will please stop at the desk after class and speak to me about their absence. The subject which we have for consideration to-day is water. Most students usually conflict water with other substances. Many chemists usually have diffi¬ culty on this point, but through long experience at Delaware and on the Ohio River where 1 saw gallons of it I have become quite familiar with it. 1 realize, too, that a good memory has been of great value to me. Now since it is import¬ ant, and to keep you from forgetting it, let me repeat that water (what chemists call H2 o) is usually confused with other substances (notice I say substances, and not elements. One must be very careful in one ' s choice of words in speaking scientifically). But until the student has learned to recognize water through long experience, he should not be unduly familiar with it. He must not address it as H2 O. One might as reasonably address the King of England as Georgie. In the first place, let us see how water is different from other things—say coal. Professor McPherson, the author of our text-book, in a series of very deli¬ cate experiments, carried on at Columbus several years ago, discovered that wa¬ ter is clear, whereas coal is black, as you can readily find out by turning to the chapter on coal. I am speaking now of the ordinary commercial water that we, or some of us, use to drink and to wash in, that is, I mean to say, we do not wash in the same water that we drink, but we can do whichever we please with it, and if you want to do both and can get enough water, we can drink some and wash in the rest. Prof. McPherson is given credit for this remarkable discovery, but 1 really knew it several years before, and was surprised that other people had not observed it. You see we often underrate our own abilities. It has also been proved by experiment that water is a liquid between the temperature of o° and ioo° on the Centigrade Scale, or to be more exact, at ordi¬ nary temperature. On the other hand coal is a solid. You must learn to ob¬ serve carefully and to pick out these differences between things. If you study Chemistry long enough under me, 1 certainly hope to be able to teach you, or, not to be extravagant, most of you, to be able to distinguish between water and coal. Let us now examine some water. I take in my left hand, the hand on your right, the one here toward the door, that is, on the south side, the side away from the window, an ordinary glass tumbler, the kind you pay 5 cents for, and I got for 4 3 cents by buying in large quantities for the laboratory. With this tumbler in my left hand, as I said above, 1 now approach the hydrant over here, which the Board of Education was kind enough to put in here last year. 1 approach the hydrant from the south side because it is over here in the corner, and i could not get to it by going north, or east, or west. With my right hand, the one that is — 1 ) 5 — THE ANNUAL not holding the glass tumbler, which 1 spoke of above, 1 now turn on this stop¬ cock, and the engine down at the water works then pumps this liquid which you see coming out of this hydrant into the glass. This is water. I am sure of this, because I tested it this morning before you came in. You wilt see that it is not black like coal and that it is clear, just as I pointed out above. It is an interest¬ ing fact also, that if you put your hand or your finger, or a piece of cloth into water, the water will wet your hand, finger or the piece of cloth as the case may be. Class, you should all verify these statements for yourself at home this even¬ ing, if you can. Those who can procure some water at home for this purpose hold up your hand. Ah, that is good. Every hand went up, that is, I mean to say, half the hands went up; each of you putting up only one of your two hands. I hope you do not misunderstand me on this point. But judging from the appear¬ ance of some of the hands water must be scare with you. If it is, bring a bottle and I can let you have some from the hydrant here. The school board has told me not to spare any expense in using all the water I need for laboratory work. Now observe that 1 put my finger into the water and stir it, that is, 1 stir my finger, and the motion is communicated to the water. You will learn more about this next year in Physics, so Til not stop to explain it now. I now take my fing¬ er out of the water, and you will observe that it is not changed, 1 mean, the water, not my finger, although my finger was not changed either, except that it got wet, as, you will remember, I prophesied it would. Now, see here, some of you are not paying attention. Class, it is discouraging to make an accurate scientific ex¬ planation of a difficult subject like this and then find that some of you do not ap¬ preciate it and even go to sleep. Now after this interruption—unintentional, I hope, and not malicious—we will now proceed. I almost forgot to call your attention to the fact that it was my index finger, the one next to my thumb, the one I’m pointing at that whispering student back there, that I stuck into the water. You see, we cannot be too exact in science. Even I almost forgot to mention which finger it was, although, to be sure, the same result would have happened if 1 had used any other finger. 1 now set the tumbler down, together with the water in it, on this table here, with the oilcloth covering that the school board bought for me, or, to be more exact, for it. I now take in my left hand, the same hand that held the tumbler before I set it down, a test-tube. This test-tube is made, as you can see, of glass. Do you all see that? It is open at the upper end, although when I turn it over like this, it is now open at the lower end. The other end, the end that is not op¬ en, is closed by the same kind of glass that the tube is made of. Now if I were to pour some of this water from the tumbler into the test-tube, the tube would have a tendency to fill up. If 1 were to continue pouring long enough, an hour, a half hour or a minute, depending on the volume of the flow of water, the tube would get completely full and then the water would run out; that is, it would run over the top, down along the side, make a little turn here at the bottom and then drip off onto the table, chair, or floor, as the case might be. I will now hold the tube half full of water, in the tip of the Bunsen burner flame. It has a tendency to become hot. It is not hot yet, or 1 could not hold it in my fingers. If 1 were to keep on holding it here, it would become so hot that 1 should have to drop it. If I were to hold it over a coil fire or a wood fire, it would also have a tendency to get hot. Perhaps you have noticed this fact at home already. — 96 — THE ANNUAL It is now getting hot; so I will hold it in the test-tube holder, to keep from getting my hands burned. Any of you who care to, may come in after school this evening and examine this test-tube holder more closely. Next year I hope the school board will buy me another one, so that 1 can pass it around for the class to examine. You will notice little bubbles arising in the water. Those are air bubbles which have been dissolved and are now escaping. Since they are of no particu¬ lar use, 1 shall let them escape. The water is now bubbling rapidly. This phe¬ nomena is known as boiling. You will see if you look closely little clouds of a white looking mist appearing here in the air above the test tube. Do you all see? You on the back row there, can you see? Good. Those clouds are due to little particles of steam, which rising from the surface of the boiling water in the test- tube, are again condensed into water in the colder air above. You may think its the steam you see, but it isn ' t, steam cannot be seen, or, to be exact, it is invisible. The water has now been boiling a long time. You will see that there is not much of it left. It is boiling away. Can you prophesy what would happen if l should hold the test-tube here long enough, an hour or two hours, or a week, as the case might be? Yes, that ' s right. It would all boil away. Now I will add some green ink to the water. The water becomes green as you can see if you observe carefully. It can now be readily distinguished from milk, as milk is white, and not green. These results are of course only approxi¬ mate as the apparatus is very crude. We must not expect to great exactness. You must learn to make these distinctions carefully. 1 remember when 1 was a boy, cultivating this habit of distinguishing clearly between things. 1 was easily able to distinguish between a green cat and a blue dog. The formula is CATtDOG = 2 PET. 1 believe 1 gave you this formula once before, just about here on the board per¬ haps a little higher or a little lower, or a little to the right; certainly not here to the left because that ' s the end of the board. Ah, there ' s the bell. The class will meet in this room again tomorrow at this time, when by a series of delicate experiments, 1 shall prove to you that water does not flow up hill as is often but erroneously asserted. Excused. — 97 — THE A r N N U A L As Seen by the Hall Mirror. fillfflVtt 5 Some of you may think that 1 grow weary standing here day after day, and that my outlook becomes monotonous ; but if you had the leisure which is mine you would see many things to interest you. Pardon me for stopping so very suddenly, but I was so surprised for the mo¬ ment that I could not speak. James L., who has just entered the German class, had been absent from school for a week and 1 had supposed that he was expelled. As I was saying, l hold a very prominent place here ; in fact 1 wouldn ' t trade places with the most distinguished of our entire body of citizens. For l am safe in saying that 1 receive more attention and am looked at more than any of them. Why you wouldn’t believe the great number of smiles I receive. Evidently I am thought a great deal of, and in fact 1 find much amusement flirting, especially with certain young ladies who are kind enough to stop and have a chat with me every morning, noon and evening. No doubt you know some of them—Rhea, Ada and Georgia in particular. This noon a caustic tongue, having been given full sway, aroused my atten¬ tion to the fact that 1 was not alone. 1 naturally looked but was only enabled to see delicate fingers making their circuitous route over the top of her hair. After her departure, Sadie, who stopped to greet me, kindly informed me that she had just passed J. T. Now I wonder what is the matter. H. H. ' s shoulder will ache until tomorrow if the Principal ' s Hand is laid so heavily on it again. Here comes N. B. from Mr. Marting ' s room. He has probably fired her for writing notes, as she seems to be looking for the Principal. This just reminds me of the fact that the number of notes passed between classes is something marvelous. Why, just this morning at the end of the first period I counted twenty. The other day a piece of paper was dropped on the floor right where 1 could see it. It began, “ Dearest Helen Of course when I saw that it was a note I blushed for shame and looked away very quickly. But do you know that my mind has not been at ease since that day for 1 keep wondering which Helen it was. I hoped the owner would come to look for it, but to my dis¬ appointment the janitor swept it up. Ah, here comes Mr. Welday, evidently the busiest of them all. See, he in¬ tends to stop. How happy he looks. Perhaps he is going to Delaware this even¬ ing. I hope you will have a good time, Mr. Welday and- What, are you going so quickly ? Why, it is growing late. I would not have thought that the afternoon would pass so quickly. Well, good-bye, Mr. Welday. — 98 — THE ANNUAL Who Knows the Most, Knows not when He’s a Fool What dunce with eyes that has not seen the moon, Or fails to speculate upon the sun— Its heat at noon or cold when it is done.

Even the teacher says he doesn’t know, and if he admits it, it must be true. It’s nice to know there’s one thing he knows he doesn’t know. Mrs Eddy says matter isn’t anything and that we just imagine it, but I guess she has to say that to keep her job. I wish 1 had Mrs. Eddy’s imagination. Matter is made up of wee wiggly things called molecules, so wee and tiny that you can’t even see them with a megaphone. These dear little things are al¬ ways jumping around as if they had the St. Vitus dance. The papa and mamma molecules are called mollycoddles. Everything has molecules in it, even our bodies, and they are always wig¬ gling like tadpoles. Sometimes I have to scratch my head, the molecules tickle so. There are five molecules in the alphabet—a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w and y. Molecules get in drinking water and give us typhoid fever. When we boil the water that kills them and we can drink a cemetery instead of a menagerie. Matter is either solid, liquid or gas. When you stub your toe against it and it hurts, it’s a solid. If it isn’t a solid you don’t stub your toe against it, and it doesn ' t hurt. The molecules in a solid move around, but they stick close to¬ gether, too, and that’s why, when a girl is stuck on a boy, they say he’.s solid with her. Earth is a solid substance much desired by the seasick, A liquid is a solid that ' s lost its backbone and got soft. Liquids are used to drink and to run saloons with. Some saloons are called “ speak easys ”, and speak easy voices are called liquid voices. All heroines have liquid voices. Some examples of liquids are water and alcohol. Water is a liquid sometimes used to dissolve dirt, and small boys hate it. Water is also used in running a trust. A small body of capital entirely surrounded by water is called a corpora¬ tion. Hard water is called ice. Alcohol is a much-abused liquid; everybody is trying to put it down. Alcohol will preserve most anything except secrets. It is also good to dissolve things, especially money and brains. When a liquid gets hot and sweats it is called a gas. Hot air is a natural gas that won’t burn and isn’t charged for. it is found abundantly at political speeches and women ' s clubs. Hot air is mostly of the feminine gender. It is generated in retorts, and expresses itself in retorts; 1 heard of a woman who wanted to be cremated so she could have the last retort. A place to carry off hotair is called a flue; so fluency means hot air, too. Liquids evaporate into gases. When the air holds all the evaporated liquid it can, it is saturated. When a man holds all the liquid he can, he is soaked. Physics teaches all about molecules. Chemistry is a sort of matrimonial physics, because it tells about how all the naughty moleculus chase off with their affinities. P. s.—i w ish I were a molecule. - 100 - THE ANNUAL THE FRESHMAN Oh, the young Freshie has come out of the west, Through all the wide school bethinks he ' s the best, And save a few verses he knowledge has none, He comes undaunted, and comes alone, So fearless in sport, and so faithful in school There ne ' er was worse boy for teacher to rule. He stayed not for Greece, and he stopped not for Rome, The Adriatic he swam where ford there was none; But e ' er he alighted at vacation ' s gate The teacher consulted, his knowledge came late, And a lover of books, and a hater of sport, Was to go on and leave him, so went the re¬ port. He opened his books and in dust he did crawl Among teachers, and classmen and workers and all. But he studied too late and in tests he did fail, The Principal said, “ Tis the old, old tale; You were not in earnest, but only in fun, And your work came too late, my dear little one ' “At first 1 did study, my attempts you denied, Ambition comes once, but it goes with the tide. When we worked the hardest you said t vas a crime The way we sat round and wasted our time. What we needed was encouragement just be¬ fore test, You did not give it, and yourself know the rest. The Principal pondered on what the boy said, He spoke as in earnest, his face was all red. “Perhaps ' twould be better if we should begin And encourage the Freshmen when they first come in; 1 am sure they will try and accomplish their work If we pass them all on and their lessons not shirk. - 101 - THE ANNUAL Propaganda It is recognized that Marxists develop not out of a natural impulse to be ma¬ licious, but because of imperfect economic conditions. A certain Romula Roe, compelled to abandon his studies in school at twelve, enter a sand blast, work for a starvation wage, and suffer in a dozen strikes, be¬ came a convert of Marx before he had listened to a “ soap-boxer M an hour. No doctrines ever suited a man better. The long-haired speaker remarked that, while labor created all wealth, the laborer received only a fraction thereof, barely sufficient for his sustenance. Romula inhaled the dire dust twelve hours every day for sixteen cents an hour, and was rarely out of debt. The agitator declared that there was a Class Struggle, in which one class which produced nothing were arrayed against those who produced everything ; that the non-producers were regally rich, and the workers so miserably poor and oppressed that they were without the time or leisure energy to enlighten them¬ selves upon the fact that they were oppressed. Romula worked so long and hard that when night came he found it impossible to read so simple a sheet as a newspaper without falling asleep. He was too occupied to serve himself or form proper acquaintance with his family The orator explained how Universal Brotherhood could never exist while com¬ petition remained in the market. He showed how good men like good points were the products of good conditions ; that so long as we had a millionaire class we would have pauperism on the other extreme, and so long as we had paupers we would have slums, and with them vice and crime an established institution. The philosopher suggested as a remedy, that those who created all wealth should reclaim their own ; that all things publicly used, as the mines, mills, fac¬ tories, telegraph, railroad lines, etc., should, like the postoffice, be publicly own¬ ed and democratically managed ; that shoes, hats and clothespins could be pri¬ vately owned because privately used, and, moreover, that all articles of consump¬ tion be not produced for profit but for utility alone. While the speaker’s terms were more simple, that was the gist of his talk, and Romula, after he had shaken hands, parted with a dime for the book, “Men and Mules”, which gave him in conjunction with “ Appeal from Girard ”, sub¬ scribed for at a later date, a fair idea of Marxism. Now, Romula was an ordinary working man, could read and write some, could tell the advance in prices in actual figures, and was incapable of retaining an historical truth longer than a day. — 102 — THE ANNUAL Once in Marxism he had a motive for remembering the data of events. His ideas collected themselves, it acting as a base upon which to build his scattered stitches of knowledge and an incentive in his sacrificing sleep for statistics. Romula, after his first inception of the “cause 1 ' , was impetuous in his vindi¬ cation of its infallibility. He could not see how anyone with a spoonful of brains could be so blind as not to realize the evils of the “ present system He delighted in demonstrating to his adversaries with government computa¬ tions that for every twenty-four hundred dollars in wealth created by the laborer each year he only received four hundred and fifty dollars as his share. How, when the all-possessing masters raised wages, they also raised the prices for commodities, leaving him as abject as ever. He showed how Marxism would change this by giving a man not seventeen cents upon the clear dollar he earned, but would give him the dollar, and by the abolishment of interest, rent and profit, the “ unearned increment ”. He pictured a society wherein men were honest, honorable, just, frank and happy, not only upon Sunday but other days as well, and where the Golden Rule was practical—the Rule of Gold impossible. He argued with everyone the sacrilege of a man ' s being forced to sell his la¬ bor power like he would a keg of nails or a pig. As Romula passed on, he calmed, at the same time becoming so intellectual as to appreciate the mouth-filling phrases, Materialist Concept, Class Consciousness, Economic Determinism, The Bourgeoisie Eliminator, etc. If such men as Jack London, the Wright brothers, Charles Edward Russel, Robert Morris, together with the most eminent professors in Social Science, were de¬ votees of Maxism, Romula could hardly account for the strength of John Jonsis ' ar¬ gument that “ It would work out in theory all right; but not in practice While he drudged at the blast his mind would wonder unconsciously to the proletariats problems , seeking a solution by some axiom from capital. Then he would let slip the obstreperous nozzle, damaging his person. The people called him Anarchist, Anti-Christ, Divider-Up, and Dreamer. Romula would modestly assure them that if wealth could keep a man from the gallows, or buy a senator, present government was anarchy, that his doctrines were not opposed to Christianity, because the Brittanica said “ The ethics of Marxism and Christianity were identical that he did not believe in dividing up the wealth, and if Marxism was a dream the “ present order ” was a nightmare. He had enlisted his spirit in a cause of emancipation and accordingly grew into a better man. Now about the time Romula Roe was a Marxist in the strictest sense of the word, he received information from an unexpected quarter that a legacy of fifty or more thousand of dollars awaited a claimant bearing his name. Romula, natural enough, did not refuse the fortune, and simultaneous with its acceptance invested the sum in three per cent, stocks. He resigned the Sand Blast. Thereafter, with a life of ease assured, the legatee turned turtle, became an opportunist and repudiated Marx. Once he worked the machine which someone who did notwork owned. Now he owned the machine someone else worked. . Romula squeezed out the profits, lived without labor, and was as convinced of his righteousness as any other Capitalist. Many of his comrades condemned him, yet who of them would not under similar circumstances have done likewise. In the mean-time, however, men were dying in poverty, thousands were be- ing born every minute without a birthright, and half the world was in slavery, — 103 — THE ANNUAL Frank ”, said Romulus to his servant, “ tell James to have my six-cylinder at the door by six tomorrow morning. I am going up to the Palitine Hill and build Rome now that that sugar trust deal is fixed up Frank at once started to tick the order by wireless to the garage, where James was working over a new Stanley racer. The next morning Romulus, with his brother Remus, stepped into the auto¬ mobile and were soon heading towards the Palitine Hill at sixty miles an hour. On the way they discussed, and later agreed to have, a game. As they neared the Hill, Romulus said : 14 1 will trace the line of the walls when we arrive “ No, I will have that honor, brother ”, argued Remus. “ Let us not quarrel on this subject ”, said Romulus, ' ‘but let us, rather, have the Secretary of Agriculture decide it—on whose ground corn will grow first—he can outline the walls So it was decided. Remus selected a meadow at the foot of the Hill. Ro¬ mulus, however, chose one on the slope. The site he chose was covered with forests, so he ordered them cut down, but Pinchot stopped the proceedings by saying all forests should be preserved. At first Romulus was puzzled as to what to do, but he finally dismissed Pinchot from his office and then the forests were cut down. The Secretary of Agriculture then got busy and planted the corn. The best effects were obtained on the land which Romulus had selected, so he had the honor of tracing the line of the walls. Operations were at once commenced for the laying of the walls. An Aultman- Taylor steam plow was procured and, with Taft to give it more weight and Roose¬ velt to fire it, Romulus laid the line of the walls. Once Roosevelt forgot to blow the whistle for a space for the gates and Romulus got angry and told him to go to Africa, at which Roosevelt resigned. Romulus next tried to find a man to bid on the walls who wouldn’t take unjust compensation for his work. Uncle Joe Cannon seemed the man for this and he, with his cigar, was given the job, and the work proceeded swiftly. Soon the city was finished and Romulus, with Congress, sat in the capitol making laws for new waterways and tariff bills to their hearts content. So Teddy went to Africa, and so started Rome and Tariff Bills. — 104 — THE ANNUAL Department of Limiricks There was a young fellow named Jay, Who loafed at the Y. M. C.

Here under leave of teachers and the rest (For teachers are all, all honorable So are they all, all honorable) Come I to speak at Caesar’s funeral; He was my friend, faithful and just to me; But teachers say he was lawful, And teachers are all, all honorable.

We have to. We would flunk if we didn ' t. Our High School has a fine Corpse of teachers, the liveliest corpse 1 ever saw. When we grow up, we want to be teachers if we can’t be anything else. We have to have teachers just as we have to have measels, and mumps and other di¬ seases. We would sooner teach than dig ditches or haul coal. One nice thing about teaching is that teachers don ' t have to worry for fear the bank cashier will run off with their $s. The groceryman gets them all. Pupils should always be kind to old people, crazy people and teachers. I think all teachers should go to heaven. They will be able to appreciate it so. - 130 - THE ANNUAL WOES OF THE CLASSMAN.

VIEWS AND INTERVIEWS. The Annual endeavors this year to be faithful to all the phases of school life. With this idea in mind, the reporter called on several of our more or less notorious students to get an expression of their opinion on various topics. Here are the re¬ sults: We called first on Joseph Hilton, and found that worthy gentleman surround¬ ed by a dozen encyclopedias trying to find out what the bung of a cider barrel is. “Mr. Hilton, began the reporter, “we believe that you represent the deepest thought and most profound logic than is to be found in our Senior Class. “That sounds reasonable, responded Joe. “Well, then Mr. Hilton, what in your opinion, is the greatest need of the pre¬ sent degenerate race of young men and women? “They are too frivolous, answered Joe readily. “Look at our present Sen¬ ior boys; They spend their time in idleness and ignorance and enjoying them¬ selves, while 1 toil and sweat over my books. They should cultivate my habit of deep thinking; they should meditate upon the profound mysteries of Mathematics or the abstruse theories of Physics. Let me recite you a poem. — 131 — THE ANNUAL “ ‘A .little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men. ' “But that ain’t no good. Let me now give you one that has some deep thought to it: “ ‘Knowledge and wisdom, far from being-.’ But the reporter had tied. We found Harry Holdstein in the office trying to get an excuse to go to the Editorial room. On being questioned as to his aim in life, Hariy stuck his hands into his capacious pockets, planted his feet firmly apart anJ said: “I feel that Art is my chosen field. Am i not the Art Editor of the Annual? Are not my texts books adorned with my artistic creations? I care not for athlet¬ ics; I care not for Physics; I care not for society and parties, and coming home in the dark. I love only Art, with an occasional A2 sandwich to share with my friends. It was several days before the reporter could find Jim Leonard, as the latter came to school only semi-occasionally. At last, however, we cornered him. To our question as to how to get the most out of school work he replied: “My efforts have all been directed to finding out how to get out of the most school work. Jay Thuma came next. We really had not thought of interviewing Jay for the Annual, until Jay suggested it himself. “See here, said Jay. “Tell your readers that I expect to be with them another year, I know they will be glad. Mr. Hall is fond of me. He said that if he knew of a job over in the Phillipines, he’d recommend me to it. But I couldn’t go. I ' ve got to take the Census in the Second Ward. The government hired me, See? Don’t you think I’m cute. I make all the girls laugh in class. If Mr. Mart- inb were not sore at me, I’d be on the basket ball team. But, say I’m certainly making a hit in Chemistry. We asked Robert Carrigan how to secure a long and happy school life. “By not studying, said Robert. “Look at me. I do nothing all day long; I’ve been here three years and expect to stay at least three more. I don’t worry, I let the teachers do that. And all the girls are in love with me. How can I prove that? I don’t have to prove it. I admit it. We asked Norman Stoodt what one thing he found the hardest in school life. “To keep my trousers creased right, said Norman. Ralph Rust was too busy getting the sideral elevation of Eugene Debs to pay any attention to us when we called. We dropped in on Russel Bissman unexpected, and found him studying. Awed at this wholly unexpected and incredible discovery, we tiptoed away with¬ out speaking. We closed our series of interviews by a brief call on Rio Judson. “Rio, we asked, “How do you manage to keep so fresh and healthy? Rio answered, 1 sleep so long every night, six feet two inches. If we are descended from the ape, as Darwin says, is it possible that some of our students are using round trip tickets? — 132 — THE ANNUAL We are reliably informed that one of our Freshmen asked his teacher one day why they do not bury the Dead Sea. It is a matter for reflection why many of our boys look into the hall mirror every time they pass it. Little Jack Horner Sat in a corner Killing a stiff exam. With the help of his neighbor, He avoided all labor, “ What a student ”, he pondered, 41 1 am Mr. Bellingham—The Glee Club is improving daily in its singing. Grateful Teachers—Is that so? We didn’t know whether they were improv¬ ing or whether we were just getting more used to it. TAKE IT TO HEART You may swipe your classmate’s clothing With exceeding regularity, Regardless that in size there is Somewhat of a disparity. But to steal and read the “ Annual” Displays a low vulgarity That puts you and the cheapskate Exactly on a parity. Senior (at parting, with emotion)—Professor, I am indebted to you for all I know. Professor—Don’t mention such a trifle. A Junior died from industry, Yet he was called a shirk; For though a busy life was his, ’Twas spent in dodging work. —Russell Bissman. Visitor—Who is that gloomy, solemn-looking individual c oming down the hall? Junior—That is the joke editor of the Annual. Visitor—Why, she doesn’t look as if she ever said a funny thing in her life? Junior—Well, she never did. Mr. Baldwin - Anyone who has a grade of 70 can’t afford to flunk, for one flunk will count like 60. Student —1 beg your pardon, but 1—I—couldn’t make out this correction on my paper. f Mr. Welday—Why, why it says ” write more legibly . —133 — THE ANNUAL CALENDAR.

We think, with careful management, you might say all that is necessary outside of school hours. Florence—We do not consider it proper to call up a gentleman late at night to ask whether the light on the corner is burning or not. Helen—Your question is one which we are often asked to answer. If you do not walk down the hall too often with him, and do not smile too sweetly, it might be permissable. Otherwise folks may think it serious. Albertine— 11 is not wise to write to so many boys at one time. You are apt to lose them all in tr ing to capture so many.

Tom—Hereafter we would advise you to see that you have your pocket-book with you before boarding a street car with a girl. Milo—Smoking is certainly bad on the complexion. If you wish to preserve the ruddy glow of youth cut it out. Emmett—If your girl stings.you devote all your attention to her best friend. It is the best way of making her sit up and take notice. Mildred—Yes, you will always be popular with the boys. Russell B.—If you can’t tell which of the six pretty girls you like best, you had better rush them all. Marjorie—We would advise you not to monopolize the looking glass in the re¬ port room. Lee—If you avoid repeating the occurrence folks may forget that you went to sleep in school. Judson—How did you get along in that Glee Club try out? Super—Made first base on four balls. - 136 - THE ANNUAL Miss Brown—What was the greatest achievement of the Romans?

Blessings on the little man, Verdant boy with cheeks of tan, With thy patched up pantaloons, Worn for many, many moons; With thy greenness and thy gall, With thy crudeness, plain to all, Thou art but a Freshman now, To upper classmen thou must bow. But, despite thy lowly name, Thou wilt get there just the same. - -136 — THE ANNUAL POOR AIM. I shot an arrow into the air, it went in the distance, 1 knew not where ' Till a neighbor said it killed his calf, And I had to pay him six and a half, i bought some poison to slay some rats, And a neighbor said it killed his cats; 1 paid him four dollars and fifty cents. One night I set sailing a toy balloon, And hoped it would soar till it reached the moon, But the candle fell out on a farmer’s straw, And he said 1 must settle or go to law. And that is the way with the random shot, It never hits the proper spot; And the joke you spring that you think so smart, May leave a wound in some fellow’s heart.
