At the dance recently held by the Senior class, the absence of members of of the lower classes was a prominent feature. It is known that the seniois aie working hard in order to raise money to defray the expenses of theii class on the Washington trip, and they would appreciate deeply any support that the lower classes would see fit to accord them. The time is coming when all the other classes of the school will become seniors, and certainly will have some ob¬ ject in view for which to raise funds, and they will then look to the pupils of the lower classes for aid. A school dance, well attended by the pupils of the school, shows an interest in the social activity of the school, and as the Seniors do not intend to hold so many of them as to monopolize our time, or to take us unduly from our daily work in the school, they feel that the few they hold should have an encouraging attendance from the student body. 8 OAK, LILY AND IVY We would like to say a few words in regard to our orchestra. Few high schools of our size can boast of such an organization and we have noticed that some schools of many more pupils, are woefully lacking in this respect. For many years the high school orchestra has been a prominent feature in high school life. The members of it have cheerfully and willingly offered their services for entertainments and for prize-speaking contests in which they have repeated¬ ly shown the result of their constant practice, and we feel indebted to them for their kind and useful services. The great help of Miss Ethel Gould ex-’op, pianist and Batista Vitalini ’o8, cornetist has been greatly appreciated by the school. The orchestra this year, is under the leadership of Edwin Bath ’10 to whom a great part of its success is due. The board of editors wish to thank the alumni for their many subscriptions to our paper. There are still a few more to be heard from, but we feel that it is only a matter of short time before they will send in their subscriptions. We appreciate the efforts of the alumni to help keep up the standard of the paper and they will recall that when they were pupils of the high school, in order to raise money to publish the school paper, they turned to the alumni for aid which was always cheerfully given. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 CAMELOT. Camelot, the fairest of the fair, the most enchanted of the enchanted—built by the magic hand of Merlin! As I stand on this little hill just outside the walls, that ideal city lies before me, mystic, wonderful! Straight ahead, through the arches of that weird gate upheld by the Lady of the Lake whose garments seem evei to flow, and across whose bosom glides the sacred fish, flashing silver-white in the mellow June sunlight I see the great marble castle of the King, with its tall, white pillars; the parapets and spires of its many battlements rising high in air, their tops almost lost in the fleecy clouds that lazily float across the celestial blue of the sky; and the little brook, clear as crystal, dimpling with delight as the gentle wind plays over its surface—the little brook which encircles the city and is spanned at frequent intervals by arches and bridges of marble. But those long, Gothic windows, catching every beam of the sun and casting their glorious colors upon the floor of the Hall within, hold my attention longer, for full well I know that they, in unsurpassed beauty of workmanship, depict the story of the King’s great battles with the heathen. In imagination I look through those win¬ dows into the great Hall itself, and I seem to see the room hung with the armor of the knights; at one end the huge, hooded fireplace, at the other, the throne of the King, and all between occupied by the Round Table about which sat the knights—Sir Galahad in the magic chair, wrought by the hand ol Merlin. Again, I gaze at the castle. High up in the loftiest marble tower is the golden statue of Arthur, with a crown on his head and peaked wings on his shoulders. But the eye cannot gaze long at it, for it is dazzlingly bright, lighted by the rays of the noon-day sun. Mounting toward it, as if striving for its emi¬ nence, are the lesser towers, each crowned by a statue of man or beast. The nearest spire of all, near but yet missing by far the eminence of the central tower, is that of the chapel—the place of worship for the knights of the Round Table—built of white stone, not marble, but purer than that substance, and topped by a golden cross. Descending from the tower on either side is the end¬ less array of towers which form a beautiful, mystic mount of spires. A flash of arms, a shout of men, and down there in the tourney-field to the west of the castle, Arthur’s knights are combating. From the high casement windows overlooking the field fair maidens with shy and innoc ent eyes gaze down upon their knights, who answer their looks with happy smiles. I see Lancelot. I know him even at this distance by the ease of his bearing, by the shield that he carries. Suddenly, at his feet drops a single, full-blown, red rose. I look up, with him, at the window. Was it Guinevere, who once more had shown her husband’s dearest knight her love for him, or another “Elaine” whose simple heart, like hers, had gone.out to this man? Musing on the fate of that “lily maid of Astolat,” who had died for love, my glances wander from that mystic city, but a burst of heavenly music, like none I had ever heard, brought me back with a start. The city had vanished, IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. gone as it had come, to the sound of music. No longer can I see the turrets of King Arthur’s palace, gleaming in the sunshine; no longer, the group of happy, young knights, fighting in mock battle; no longer the mystic gate, sustained on the outstretched arms of the Lady of the Lake. Before me, dotted here and there with fleecy sheep and crossed by a little stream dancing in the sunshine, lie the plains outside my own home town—above my head floats a feathery white cloud in whose depths I seem once more to see the enchanted city of Cam- elot, built by the magic hand of Merlin—mystic, wonderful. Slowly I leave the scene of my day-dream, and as I go I hear, ringing in my ears, the words of Arthur to his last-left knight, Sir Bedivere : “The old order changeth, yielding place to new, And God fulfills himself in many ways, Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.” John Dalton, ’ii. A RIDE ON A RAFT. In many ways a southern trip in an automobile is delightful, but unfortunate¬ ly, its disadvantages are equally great. Perhaps the greatest of them are the streams and small rivers which must be forded. Seldom can a bridge be found at the opportune moment for crossing. Often these streams are so deep that horses must swim across and wagons be left behind on the shore. It was to such a stream that a party of five weary travellers came one sunny afternoon. They had been journeying since early morning over very rough roads and now, tired out, were endeavoring to reach some inn where they could spend the night. The nearest bridge was fifteen miles away, and although the water looked cold and uninviting, time was precious. As the only alternative to ford¬ ing the stream here was to travel many more unnecessary miles, the car, with its occupants, plunged gallantly into the water. Slowly and painfully it struggled into the middle of the stream ; the water splashed and foamed around it, occasion - ally wetting the people huddled in the tonneau. Then, with an apologetic cough and a snort of disgust, the machine stopped, leaving the travellers alarmed and bewildered as to what Fate would do next. Investigation showed that the car¬ burettor was responsible for the trouble. The party consisted of a stout gentleman no longer young, with a decided taste for the comforts of home; his wife, to whom water as a means of transport¬ ation was extremely distasteful; a young girl, his daughter, who declared most emphatically that “fording streams becomes monotonous after one has crossed a few hundred;” a small boy, with a small boy’s usual delight in anything that promises adventure; and, lastly, that most necessary and long-suffering mortal— the chauffeur. Now here they all sat gazing helplessly at one another, but no one OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 volunteered a word until, finally,the stout gentleman remarked with some asperity, as he gazed at the back of the chauffeur’s head, sunk deep in his coat collar: “Well, why doesn’t somebody suggest something?” His question received no immediate answer—only a weary and tearful sigh from his wife, and a half-suppressed giggle from his daughter. Again silence prevailed, broken, at last, by the boy, with a solemnity befitting the occasion, but with a roguish twinkle lurking in the depths of his laughing brown eyes : “The cookies won’t last more than a week, will they, mother? Say, dad, I bet this water’s great for rheumatism !” “He thinks he’s so witty and amusing!” remarked his sister, sarcastically. “Mother, will you make him behave? He’ll surely fall off.” For the boy, by this time, had left his place by the driver and had crawled out onto the hood and, fiat on his stomach, was gazing into the stream, “to see if there were any fish he could catch for dinner.” Just then everyone in the car was startled by an uproarious burst of laughter. There on the bank, facing them, stood three of the blackest and raggedest negroes imaginable. They were doubled over with spasms of uncontrollable mirth at the amusing spectacle afforded them of an automobile helpless in the middle of the river. To the loud and appealing calls for help sent over the water to them they gave no heed and in consequence, the stout gentleman grew more and more vexed; his wife more and more amused; and the chauffeur more and more glum. But the boy, irrespressible as usual, came to the rescue. He called to those “darkies” on the shore : “Say, you fellows, the show’s over. Now, hustle ! Get your mules and tow us ashore.” Strangely enough, the peremptory command issued by a small boy was obeyed. The mules were brought, hitched to a quickly improvised raft, and sent out to the car. But when they reached it they snorted and plunged and backed, splashing the waiting passengers with water. The driver, at length, quieted them ; the raft was brought alongside the machine, and very cautiously and laboriously the stout gentleman clambered over the side of the car and deposited himself on one corner of the raft, which dipped so alarmingly that he hastened to crawl over toward the center. One by one the other members of the party carefully got aboard the uncertain craft aud, clutching one another desperately, managed to keep their balance while they were towed ashore. Then, back went the mules to the rescue of the automobile, which, with a final mighty heave, rolled majestical¬ ly to the bank. After receiving slight medical aid, it was able to resume its interrupted duties and, amid the cheers of the negroes gathered to watch the proceedings, each of whom clutched a silver dollar in his dirty black hand, it started once more on its journey south with its occupants, disgusted with life in general and with automobiling under such conditions in particular,—all except the small boy. Turning to his mother, he begged, “Mother, give me a cooky, please, I’m near¬ ly starved after all that. You ought to feed the hero of the day, for you’d have been there yet if it hadn’t been for me.” ’i i. OAK, LILY AND IVY. School Iftotes. Rhetoricals. On Dec. 14th, Miss Walclmeyer’s division rendered the following selections: “The Constitutional Convention of 1787,” John Moore; “The Reign of Na¬ poleon,” Luigi DePasquale; “Good Nature,” Francis Nealon; “Hiawatha’s Sailing,” Olive Whittemore; “The Birth of the New South,” John Mahoney; “What is Liberty,” Albert Sweet; “Washington to His Soldiers,” Francis Quinlan; “The Roll Call,” Frank Ranahan; “Farewell to the Old Senate Chamber,” Clifton Smith; “The Pilot’s Story,” Blanche McCarthy. Dec. 21, Principal Clarke’s division. “The Wounded Soldier,” Ruth Miett; “How Girls Study,” Violet Warley; “The Unbolted Door,” Alice Spencer; “The Invisible Heroes,” Beatrice Turner; “True and False Glory,” Fred Goucher; “Trick vs. Trick,” Isabel Sherman; “The Runaway Boy,” Jessie Whitney; “The Shipwreck,” Hilda Williams; “Grandfather’s Barn,” Adelaide Withered; “Cheerfulness,” Francis Welch. By the time this number reaches our readers will have taken place. Those chosen were : Bernard Manion ’10 Thom as Quirk ’10 Luigi DePasquale ’10 Fred Harrington ’n Francis Welch ’12 our first prize speaking contest Helen Hutton ’10 Ruth Miett ’11 Alice Spencer T1 Violet Warley ’12 Sara Haskard ’12 Great interest has been shown in this contest both by the pupils of the school and by outsiders and each contestant has striven hard to secure the covet¬ ed gold medal which goes to the winner. On February 8th, the Senior class will present the farce, “Her Busy Day,” in the Assembly Hall. Their first attempt at dramatics was a success in every way, and we are con¬ fident that their second endeavor will bring forth a large gathering to greet them in their respective roles. “Her Busy Day” is much more humorous than “A Cyclone for a Cent,” and requires twice as many characters. As this is a school production we feel that we can call upon the school for a full share of support. Those included in the cast are: Mabel Jackman, Josephine YVestphal, Agnes O’Keefe, Laura Bigwood, Helen Hutton, Frank Comba, Bernard Manion, James Luchini, Luigi DePasquale, Stephen Archer, Raymond Dunphy and William Rosen. OAK, LILY AND IVY. The New Encyclopedias. Recently twelve volumes of “Nelson’s Loose Leaf Encyclopedia,” were placed in the Milford High School Library. These encyclopedias are in part the gift of the class of 1907. The Encyclopedias are so constructed that each page may be removed by the means of a key. The publishers of these books are to. supply from time to time new pages on various current topics. They claim that they will add five hundred pages before the year 1913. The encyclopedias were printed and bound by Thomas Nelson Sons of New York. In one of the encyclopedias an account is given of Doctor Cook stating that he was probably the discover of the North pole. Soon new pages will be added saying that he did not discover the pole. Doubtless all the controversy about Cook and Peary will soon be added. This shows the benefit of having the encyclopedias loose-leaf. There is a bureau of research connected with these encyclopedias and if any discussion arises or if further information is desired, it will be given free of charge to any one who purchases the encyclopedias. They will also give infor¬ mation on Art, Economics, Geometry, Geography, History, etc., without asking any consideration. The Encyclopedias are bound in morocco leather and are very attractive. They are quite large and will be a benefit to all the classes. The books occupy a prominent place in the library and the money paid for them was well spent, and we sincerely hope that the pupils will make good use of them, and take good care not to tear or soil them in any way. Senior Dance. On the evening of Dec. 7, 1909, the senior class held its first dancing party and social in the assembly hall. The class have maintained their ability as en¬ tertainers, which they showed in the play and the affair proved a big success. Although it was not so successful financially the class believes in the maxim, that every little bit helps, and have added the ten dollars which they realized to the proposed Washington trip fund. From 8 until 12, those who attended enjoyed dancing, with the exception of a short intermission at 10 o’clock, when refreshments were served by a competent committee. Excellent music was furnished by an orchestra of five pieces, con¬ ducted by Henri Antrobus. The matrons were Mrs. E. R. Clarke and Misses Inez L. Gay, E. A. Nichols, Adele Waldmeyer, H. J. Gimore and Mary B. Ford. The floor was in charge of J. Luchini assisted by F. Comba and the following aids: L. DePas- quale, T. J. Quirk and the Misses Bigwood and A. O’Keefe. Since our dance was a success only as a social affair, it shows that we should do something to make the next one more successful financially. Now, seniors, we have an object in view, and a worthy one, too; we “made good” in the play, we H OAK, LILY AND IVY can do it in whatever else we undertake. We have energy; let us show it by making the next affair, be it play, entertainment or dance, a decided improve¬ ment, on the financial side especially. IO tEbc IHumor of 1ft. Physiology.

The football squad for the season of 1909, before disbanding, chose John Dalton, ’11, to succeed Ray Dunphy, ’10, as captain of next season’s team. At a recent meeting of the Athletic Association, William Moloney was elected assistant manager of the baseball team. He will succeed to the mana¬ gership next year. The season for hockey has passed along with very little chance for playing, owing to the poor condition of the ice. Ralph Newcomb and his players played two games; one with the Awpis club, Christmas morning, winning with a score of 2 to 1, the other with South Framingham High at South Framingham, losing by a score of 1 to o . The players have had little chance to develop their playing, but did well under the circumstances. Because we have had no quarters in which to practice and play basketball, nothing has been done by the Athletic Association in putting out a team. Thos. Quirk, ’10, manager of the baseball team for this year, has arranged a schedule of thirteen games, with many open dates to be filled within the next few weeks. We hope that the school will give its full support toward the forming of a successful team. THE SCHEDULE. Tuesday, April 16, Alumni, A. M. here. Saturday, u 23, Franklin, here. u u 30, Wayland, here.

A few short, interesting stories make a paper much more pleasing than one or two long, prosy ones. —The Red and Blue has an exceptionally long Exchange column in its De¬ cember number. It is well written and by far the best item of tbe paper. The article on Berlin is profusely illustrated by photographs. —The Student: Your chief deficiency is in your lack of cuts. Otherwise your paper is most interesting. —The article, “How I Kept House One Day,” in the Enfield Echo,” is very humorous. —Few, if any, of our Exchanges present a better appearance than “The Red and Gray.” Anyone who enjoys a good joke should read “An Advertise ment.” —“The Orange and Black” needs some cuts to improve its appearance. The “Beatrice Fairfax” column is certainly a novel way of introducing personal hits. —“The Dean Megaphone” is distinctive from the other papers on account of its fine print.

Editorials ♦ Before our next number will appear, the senior class will have started on their trip to Washington. For the first time in the history of our high school, a senior class will go to the national capitol to visit the numerous places of inter¬ est, and to take in the neighboring sights. Of the educational value of this trip, little need be said. We all realize its vast importance; and we feel assured that the seniors will enter upon their journey with the spirit of one who wishes to get as much knowledge as possible out of the places he visits, and to impart it to others if ever called upon to do so, in an intelligent and correct manner. This is the first time that any of the senior class have ever been to Wash¬ ington, and perhaps it will be the last, so therefoie, it behooves them to make the most of their present opportunity. They have the best wishes of the entire school on this trip. 8 OAK, LILY AND IVY. The senior class wish to take this opportunity to thank the principal, teach¬ ers and friends of the school who have aided them in their entertainments and in this manner made it possible for them to execute their much cherished idea of going to Washington. In all their entertainments the seniors were given generous support, and they are deeply grateful to those who co-operated with them to achieve their endeav¬ ors, and the support accorded them will serve to stimulate them on to greater effort in the line of entertaining when they return to the High school in the spring term. No doubt no month in the year appeals more strongly to the American people than the month of February, for in this memorable month, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the two most famous characters in the his¬ tory ol our country, and the two men who did the most for our beloved nation, first saw the light of day. Although their positions in life were vastly different, although their characteristics were not the same, each, in a terrible crisis of our nation’s history, was called upon to guide her through a terrible state of affairs. Washington freed our country from the bondage of the English, and after¬ ward laid its foundation as a free country. But Lincoln’s time also came. When many years later, the nation was on the point of being dissolved, Lincoln, by his wisdom and prudence, saved the Union from disruption and the terrible disgrace of slavery. Washington was dignified in manner and in appearance and liked pomp; Lincoln was modest, and very simple in mode of life. Of the two, Washington had the better education, and thus with less effort rose to great prominence. But in the history of the world, there is no story which is so full of perseverance and patience as the life of Lincoln. With but a little schooling, received in the backwoods, left at an early age to fight his way into the world, he entered into life with a light heart and firm step, mounted the ladder of fame slowly but steadily, meeting and casting aside all obstacles that be¬ set his path with a calmness and serenity that lasted until his death. Of the great men of all times, none were greater than these two, and at their death the United States lost two of her greatest citizens. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 The Mercantile Fleet of America. The United States of America, of all the nations of the world, needs a larger mercantile fleet. The United States stands today as the leading commercial na_ tion of the world, and yet each year pays out thousands of dollars to foreign cap¬ ital for the carriage across the water of American purchases and sales. Since the year 1S97 when the Dingley tariff was passed, the House of Rep¬ resentatives has every year given more protection to American industries with the exception of the shipping industry. During the twelve fiscal years from 1897 our foreign commerce has risen from $1,743,000,000 to $2,973,000,000 an increase of $1 ,230,000,000 and of this increase in the 1909 fiscal year, no less than $866,000,000 was carried in foreign vessels. During the last twelve years American capital and labor have paid to other nations in way of cash, for the carriage of twenty five billion dollars worth of American sales and purchases, and in the same twelve years American vessels have carried only $2,828,000 worth, or a little more than one tenth of our foreign commerce, or in other words about ninety per cent, of the freight outlay on American foreign commerce each year goes to foreign capital and labor. President Taft lately said: “It behooves us Americans interested in pushing trade to every quarter of the globe, to take steps to repair a condition that exists in respect to our merchant marine that is humiliating to our national pride, and most burdensome to us in competition with other nations in obtaining inter¬ national trade.” Then again think of the exchange of monev it causes in the United States. Along the Atlantic coast shipbuilding would spring up, it would give employment to thousands of men, it would mean a great deal more wealth to the nation. “We must have ships before we can reap anywhere near the full benfcfit of our labors and hundreds of millions of dollars of expense in constructing the world’s greatest water-way, the American Panama Canal.” The American flag should fly from merchant-men in every corner of the globe, and in order to do this we must have ships built by Americans, owned by Americans, manned by Americans and carrying American goods at a price set by Americans. H. Kelsey Ifavner, 1912. An Extract From a Queer Diary. One day in March, when I was cleaning the soot out of a chimney, I found a small book entitled “The Diary of a Pea.” Upon reading it I found that a pea had fallen into the chimney when small children had their pea-shooters on the preceding “Hallowe’en,” and the pea, in order to pass away the time, had kept a diary. The contents were all very interesting, but I enjoyed most of all that which came under the caption of Feb. 25. A kernel of corn had related its ad- IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. ventures to the pea, and they proved so interesting that the pea had jotted them down. At the top of the page were these words : “The Travels of Mr. Corn.” “I had been hanging in the loft of an old bam for three long, dreary months. The wind howled outside and the snow was driven through the air with great velocity. As the hours went by the storm increased in vigor and I and my brothers clung to the cob and to each other, so that not a particle of heat would be wasted. Towards night we heard the door of the barn slam, and we knew that someone was in the barn. Unfortunately, we were net long in finding out who it was. It was the farmer’s boy whom, that morning, the farmer had told to take us and give us to his poultry during the rest of the cold weather. I and my brothers were nearest the stairs and therefore would be some of the fore¬ most to be taken for feed. But the boy was in no hurry, and taking a small rifle, he began shooting at the twine that held us up. “Finally, after many unsuccessful shots, one struck the twine and we fell to the floor with such a shock that few of us were able to retain our hold upon the cob. Taki ng the partly-full cob and a few others, and putting a handful of my brothers in his pocket, he pushed the rest of us, with his large foot, through a crack in the floor, where we fell for many dizzy feet through space until we fell in a heap on a pile of hay which, fortunately for us, the shiftless farmer had not cleared up when he had quartered a horse that had strayed from a neighbor some two or three miles distant. “Here we lay until midnight, when we heard the timid approach of a mouse who, when he discov ered us, made a good meal upon some of my broth¬ ers, and then proceeded to carry the rest of us off to his abode which was a small pile of rags. In this foul place we were left to wait until hunger again overtook the mouse and then, instead of being thrown to the fowl, as was intended for me, I would serve to keep a good-for-nothing mouse from starving. But fortune favored me. Another mouse, prowling around the barn, discovered me, and was about to eat me when my rightful owner appeared, and a fierce fight ensued during which I was knocked through a knot-hole in the floor. The fall this time was short, and I found myself on a bed of snow, with the cold, crisp morning air giving me a cool welcome. “The storm had cleared away and the warm, thawing sun of February came out. .Sparrows and pigeons were flying about, looking for a good break¬ fast, and finally one large pigeon discovered me and succeeded in eluding the others. He carried me to the ridge-pole of a house, where with all kinds of en¬ treaties, I tried to save my life. “ ‘Your ancestors’, said the pigeon, ‘have been used for thousands of years to keep the animals of the air from starving, and why should you not do the same ?’ “ ‘But,’ I cried, ‘I have no ancestors.’ “ ‘Listen,’ calmly replied my captor, ‘and I will try to show that you had. Those from whom you are descended were found in the Pyramids some hundreds of years ago, where they had been ever since these massive structures had been built—approximately four thousand years ago. Each one of your ancestors was OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 surrounded by a husk, and had been brought up on the banks of the Nile. They were in this country when Columbus discovered this continent, and were being rudely cultivated by the Indians. But for me you would have been planted in the month of May, and would have heard the cawing of the crows as they ate and destroyed your neighbors; but you yourself would never have seen sunlight again.’ “ ‘And why?’ I exclaimed. “ ‘Because, as the moisture penetrated your tough skin, your root would have worked itself downward and your one green shoot would have risen towards the sun. As the weeks went by, slender leaves would have formed, and when the once tender shoot had attained the height of about five feet, the tassel would have made its appearance. A couple of weeks later two ears would have been seen protruding from the stalk, and each one, clothed in its warm husk, would have developed during the latter part of the summer and the early fall. In November it would have been gathered, husked, and hung in the same loft in which you were.’ “ ‘But where would I have been?’ I ventured to ask. “ ‘Why, you-,’ exclaimed the pigeon, k you would have supplied the nourishment upon which the root and the stalk grew until they could have cared for themselves, when they would have cast you aside and you would have died, and rotted in the dampness of the earth.’ “But just at this moment another pigeon nearby espied me, and making a quick dive, caught me in his bill, and flying away, uttered a cry of victorv. But when he opened his bill I fell into this dark chimney where, like you, I sup¬ pose, I am to wrinkle up and die of old age; and this, Mr. Pea, is the history of my latest adventures.” 1912. The Washington Trip. The Senior Class will soon start for Washington. They plan to start from home on the afternoon of Friday, March eighteenth. They are to take the Fall River Line steamer to New York City, making a night trip through Long Island Sound. Crossing the North River by ferry to Jersey City, thev will next enter tiie Pennsylvania Rail Road Station. From here they will take the train for Philadelphia where they will have a stop-over of about five hours: thev will see Independence Flail, the Liberty Bell, the Betsey Ross House, and other objects of interest. There are no long stops from here to Washington, and the capital will be reached about six o’clock, Saturday evening. During their sojourn in the capital, those who desire, can visit Washington’s home, Mt. Vernon, and also the National cemetery at Arlington. When they will have returned approach not the dignified Senior without feelings of awe and reverence, for although he may have been unsophisticated before his ‘grand voyage,’ he will be then well versed in all worldly ways. And now a serious w’ord to the Seniors. OAK, LILY AND IVY. I 2 Those of us, who contemplate taking the trip to Washington, should bear in mind that this trip is not merely a pleasure trip, a vacation; it is more than that. It is perhaps more than anything else an educational trip. Let us then im¬ prove our time and get the most there is to be had from it. We may in a measure prepare beforehand for the pleasures ol the trip by learning all that we possibly can of the places we are going to see. If we get a good idea of what will come before us as we visit the different places of interest we, each of us, can satisfy himself or herself much better upon certain special points that so often appeal to the mind intent on gaining new pleasures. The study of a good map, a sketch of the places we are to visit with the use of a geography and encyclopedia, will help us greatly. It is hoped that the Seniors will consider their trip in a thoughtful light and thereby gain the great¬ est benefit that they can from it. 1910. School IFlotes. Our first prize-speaking contest of the year took place Friday evening, January 28, in the Assembly Hall. The gold medals were won by Alice Emma Spencer ’11, and Luigi DePasquale ’10.

On Tuesday evening, February S, 1910, the Senior class held its second play, “Her Busy Day,” in the Assembly hall. There was a large crowd on hand to greet the youthful actors. The programme began with a selection by the High School orchestra. Then Marion Tucker, ’10, gave a vocal selection, “A May Morning.” Batista Vitalini, ’08, rendered a cornet selection, “The New Born King” in a very pleasing man¬ ner. A piano duet by Miss Stowe and Mr. Conant was next in order. Their playing was of an exceptionally high standard. Next Eva DePasquale, a pupil in the Plains school, gave a piano solo, “II Miserere,” which was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. After the High School orchestra had given another selection the play began. Agnes O’Keefe took the part of an “up-to-date” domestic in fine style. Mabel Jackman, a young house-keeper, showed great ability and ease in her role. Sa¬ brina Knowser, a next-door neighbor, was well given by Helen Hutton. Jo¬ sephine Westphal, as an itinerant pedlar, acted her part well. Laura Bigwood, Mrs. Knowser’s hired girl, played her part in fine style. Patrolman Eagle, im¬ personated by Raymond J. Dunphy, showed that he could be of use to his town at any time as a patrolman. William Rosen took the part of a school boy, and brought credit to himself. Happy Jack, a tramp, the part ta ken by James L11- chini, was brought out very skillfully. Thomas J. Quirk took the part of Tom Bluffer, a book agent and showed up well, although through unforseen events giv¬ en but one day in which to learn his part.

On February nth, in the Assembly Hall, a fine programme was rendered by pupils of the school, aided by a few outside speakers, in honor of Abraham Lincoln. The exercises were public and members of the G. A. R. and of the W. R. C. were present, besides the parents and relatives of the pupils. Rev. Dr. T. C. Watkins gave a very interesting talk on the life of Lincoln, and gave a fine account of one of the wide-famed debates between Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas. The talk was all the more interesting because Dr. Watkins himself had heard the two famous men speak. OAK, LILY AND IVY. i 5 Mr. G. B.

The senior class returned from Washington Friday, March 24 , after spend¬ ing a most enjoyable week in the national capital and its surroundings. Owing to the beauty of the scenery and the places visited, the class were reluctant to leave on the following Thursday. In our next issues we hope to be able to give a detailed account of the most interesting places the class visited. Some of the members of the school are now busily engaged in writing essays on the subject “War can and ought to be avoided.” The contestants are competing for the Delano Patrick prize. The Milford, Hopedale, and Mendon High Schools are eligible to this contest. For several years one or more prizes have always been won by some pupil of our school, and last year we had the honor of pulling off first and second prizes. s OAK, LILY AND IVY. For a few years past the subject dealt with “International Peace,” but it was deemed advisable to change the subject this year. We have no apprehension as to the outcome of the contest, since we feel that one or more of the honors will come to our school. Owing to the fact that the senior class took their trip to Washington during the latter part of March, the editors of the Oak, Lily and Ivy have found it difficult to publish the March number at its usual time. They hope that this explanation will explain the cause of the delay of the March issue. In the first number of the Oak, Lily and Ivy, the editors of the paper asked aid from the school in the way of contributions. So far this year we have found it difficult in some instances to get an abundance of material. We have very many subscribers both in the school and outside of the school, a fact which shows that interest is taken in the paper, but we would appreciate a little more effort on the part of the pupils to help make the paper more attractive. Our chief deficiency is the lack of stories. Many of our exchanges find fault with us in this department. Now in a school of nearly two hundred pupils, it does not seem probable that no more than three stories can be handed in to the editors each month. But such is the case. We simply want you to imagine yourself in our places, and then perhaps you would see whether or not we are justified in asking for your support. There will be only two more numbers issued after this number, so strive to make them the best yet. Why Good Manners Should Be Cultivated. How often do we find that people of a most unprepossessing appearance are delightful companions, on account of a certain grace and charm of manner, which is the outward evidence of good breeding! It is always interesting to watch these people as they move about in society, their graceful courtesy, their consideration of others, in short, their good manners, winning for them respect and admiration, even from those people to whom good breeding seems of little account. The people who are blessed with this gift are never the ones who are contin¬ ually warring with the rest of humanity. It is part of their charm that they always efface themselves in society, not to the degree of becoming nonentities, but to a position where they quietly and unobtrusively avoid needless friction, and with the same manner they so pacify those people who are always irritated and looking for trouble, that the latter forget the object of their search. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 Consideration for others is the very foundation of good breeding. A person possessed of excellent manners is never egotistical. He thinks of others, always be¬ fore he thinks of himself. He is courteous to those with whom he comes into con¬ tact, even, sometimes, with inconvenience to himself. He never pushes himself forward, does not try to outshine others, but rather commands recognition by his unfailing courtesy. It is often said that a man is known by the company he keeps. It might well be said that a man is known by his manners. The man who shows good breeding will always make friends wherever he goes. People are drawn to him by his courteous and charming manner, for they know that it is outward evidence of the charming nature of the man himself. The French are said to be the most attractive people in the world; that is largely due to their polished manner and cordiality. Lastly, good manners react upon the individual. Through the constant practice of the formalities which society demands, they become a part of one as inseparable as any characteristic of face or figure. The courtesy, consideration for others, all the little evidences of good manners become part of one’s nature. Good man¬ ners are inherent in some, while they may be acquired by all. 1911. The Start For Washington. Shakespeare says, “All things that are, are with more spirit chased than en¬ joyed.” But there are exceptions to all rules. In our trip to Washington we reached and surpassed our highest expectations. When one hears much about a place, visions are formed which are rarely realized. This is not so in the case of our beautiful capital. It is a pleasant thing to look back on the bright, clear pages of memory and see nothing to mar their brightness from the day of our start. What an excited little group we were that day standing among mothers, fathers, teachers and friends, gathered to wish us “Gluck Auf!” What a fluttering of red and white ribbons when our car came in. Most of the pupils’ faces were shining with happiness, but on a few boys’ faces rested an un¬ accustomed gravity and here a girl smiled goodbye with tears rolling down her cheeks. But tears and grave looks were banished when the rousing High School cries arose from the car, which were answered by the pupils outside as the car moved off. The ride to South Framingham quickly passed and the remainder of the jour¬ ney to Boston. Here were a few more Milford people gathered. We placed our paraphernalia in the “Washington” section of the waiting-room and soon the Upton pupils trotted in and took the seats at our left. These friends were greeted, and it was found that they were going to the same hotel as ourselves in Washington. IO OAK, LILY, AND IVY. When the Fall River train moved out of the station we really felt as though our trip had begun in earnest. Lunch boxes were opened and amid much fun and laughter their contents were devoured. But the boat was the great revelation of this day. Few of us had been on the Fall River boats before, so it was a most delightful experience. It was a calm, clear night and warm enough for us to remain on deck, so the decks were well promenaded. What a number of interesting things we saw while exploring the boat! There were telephones in all the rooms and some of the girls’ rooms ad¬ joined one another. Great surprise was depicted on some of the faces at the size of the staterooms and arrangement of the beds. One small girl clambered with difficulty to the top berth and could not get down for some time. At length the boat became quieter and tired heads “lay down in peace to sleep, Rocked in the cradle of the deep.” Helen Hutton, 1910. i A Book Review. The Chippendales. “The Chippendales,” a new book by Judge Robert Grant, is sure to interest all Bostonians. Judge Grant is a Boston man and has already won an enviable reputation as a writer and his new book serves to add to his fame. The story is one of progressive Boston. The Chippendales are a famous old family and in the book they stand for the class of people who are not desirous of advancing but wish everything to remain as it has been for years. On the other hand is Hugh Blaisdell, a perservering young man who comes to Boston determined to make a fortune. A few years previous he had graduated from one of the smaller New England colleges and six weeks after his Commence¬ ment day his mother died, leaving him without a relation in the world. As he was now independent he determined to make his fortune in his own way whereupon he set out for Boston with a letter of introduction to Langdon Co., Bankers. However, he was disappointed in not receiving the position he had set his heart upon, but was soon reconciled to his fate and accepted a position with a broker on State street. His boarding-place could not have pleased him better. The board¬ ing-mistress, Mrs. Avery, was a middle-aged lady who had been married twice, her second husband being a quiet man who had been striving for years to perfect an invention, which he called Electric Coke. There were also two daughters in the family, Priscilla, Mr. Avery’s daughter by his first marriage and Lora Bur¬ roughs, who was Mrs. Avery’s daughter by her first marriage. Both girls were very beantiful and very interesting. Priscilla was a stately brunette, with splendid OAK, LILY AND IVY 11 features and form. Lora was the opposite, a pretty, petite blonde. It was Lora who won Blaisdell’s heart the first evening by her sweet voice and winsome ways. He learned that Priscilla had an admirer in a Harvard college student, Henry Sumner, a close relative of the Chippendales. Sumner and Blaisdell were of two distinct types. Sumner was never im¬ p etuous, talkative or perservering and resembled his relatives in many respects. Yet he was the soul of honor and had what was termed a New England conscience. He intended some day to make Priscilla his wife, but his cool wooing was scorn¬ fully received by that impetuous young person. At length Sumner gave up his efforts for a time and decided to start in business for himself. After a few years elaspe we find Blaisdell making money and friends fast. His position gave him the opportunity of working his way upward and we find him as a partner of his former employer. During these years he has undertaken several large enterprises, such as starting the subway under Tremont street and also selling stock for Electric Coke, which Mr. Avery at last perfected, all of which have been successful beyond his dreams. After a short courtship he married Lora and they reside in a pleasant home in one of the suburbs. Lora has everything her heart could desire except a mansion on the “sunny side of Commonwealth avenue.” And to her great surprise and happiness, she is presented with this as a Christmas gift from her husband. She is overjoyed to find it the old Chippendale mansion, a residence which she has always admired. The Chippendales, who were once considered the wealthiest people in Bos¬ ton were forced to vacate their home because of straightened circumstances, and live at their summer residence. Before leaving their mansion, however, Georgiana, the youngest of three daughters, made her formal bow to society. Chauncy, the only son, accepted a responsible position with Langdon Co., Bankers. But it will not prove interesting to prospective readers of this excellent book if the whole plot is related. Still I will say that the lot of none of the characters runs smoothly. Everyone has some hard blow to contend with. Surely every Bostonian should read this book. Every chapter speaks of streets and places that are dear to the hearts of all the inhabitants of the “Hub.” It is published by Scribners and may be had with 12mo. cloth binding for $1.50.

Many of last year’s men will find a place for work this season and we have all the men necessary to make an excellent team but for the pitcher. It is hoped that some “dark horse” will come forward and fill a position which is difficult and trying. The position to fill requires a fellow who thoroughly knows the game, who can control his speed, his curves and shoots and most of all, his head. Too well do we know that a ‘rattled’ pitcher like a runaway horse is too dangerous and uncontrollable to manage. We have some fellows in the school who could make good if they would try. Although they lack the necessary coaching, they have the right stuff behind their arms to show up well. Many of last year’s members are still in the school, the majority of whom have entered the squad for practice; Bailey, Gallery, Dunphy, Lynch and New¬ comb. A number of freshmen intend to try for the team. We hope to see them show up as well on the diamond as they did on the gridiron. There are twenty-two candidates out for practice and trying for positions on the team. They are as follows: Dunphy, Durgin, Bailey, Moore, Deeley, Sweet, G. Grayson, E. Grayson, Gallery (capt.), Schooner, Marcus, Newcomb, Lynch, Moloney, Dalton, Kay, Hilton, J. Duggan, Crockett, Lang and Kennedy. Mr. S. P. Hickey, better known among the boys as “Sime,” has been chosen to coach the squad, and to pick out the best for the team. Mr. Hickey will give to the team his services for two full afternoons a week, and a shorter period of time for a third afternoon. He will accompany the team on its out-of-town Saturday dates, and will also be present on the diamond when the boys play their Saturday home games. We feel that Mr. Hickey, who is a veteran of the game, will give the candi¬ dates the best possible coaching and meet with success in turning out a good team. L3 OAK, LILY AND IVY.

Concerning the Senior Dance The Senior Class have already started preparations for their big dance which is to be held May 13. They have secured the Town Hall for this dance, which, no doubt, will be the last given by the present senior class. The Union Singing Orchestra of Marlboro has been engaged to furnish music for the occasion. This orchestra has played in town very often, and the senior class is confident that their efforts to make this dance a success will be greatly helped by the services of this orchestra. Summary of Trip to Washington. March 18, the senior class started on their much-talked-of trip to the national capital. Preparations had been started fully two weeks beforehand by the pupils of the class, and the “trip to Washington” was the current event topic of the day. The weather was delightful on the day they started. The class reached Fall River about eight o’clock that evening without special incident. The sail from there to New York in the steamer Providence was a pleasing one. No one of the party was seriously ill with sea-sickness. Most of the class awoke about half-past five the next morning and went on deck in order to see the “Statue of Liberty,” Brooklyn Bridge, and other interesting points as they entered the harbor of New York. Crossing to Jersey City, breakfast was eaten and then the train was taken for Philadelphia, at which place the class arrived about ten o’clock that morning. During the stay there, the United States Mint, “Independence Hall,” and the “National Museum” were visited. At three o’clock in the afternoon, the party left Philadelphia and arrived in Washington at seven o’clock. The class could wish for no more delightful weather than prevailed in Washington. The most important places that the party visited in the city were the White House, the Capitol, the Washington monument, the Smithsonian Institute, the Treasury, the Dead Letter Office, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The class saw Congress in session, and they also had the honor of shaking hands with Joseph Cannon, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Vice-president Sherman and Congressman Weeks of our own district. On Tuesday of the following week, Mt. Vernon, the home of George Wash¬ ington was also visited. The trip down the Potomac was enjoyed by all the party. The national cemet ery at Arlington was an interesting sight. Owing to the illness of our principal, a fact much regretted by the school, he was unable to accompany the class to Washington. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Barns of this town acted as chaperons, and the class is very much indebted to them for their kindness on the trip. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 1 5 —Mr. and Mrs. A. W.

As this is the last term of the school year, a new rule has been laid down by our principal which is a helpful one, and which we know will be taken in the right spirit by all the pupils. Those who receive eighty-five per cent, or over, in their daily recitations for the term will be exempted from taking their final examinations in June. Many pupils maintain that they do not favor examinations especially this time of the year, and so there should be no reason why they should not work all the harder to receive the required mark, and thus be excused from their examinations. We realize that the mark is a high one, because it means nearly a perfect recita¬ tion every day, a thing not impossible but which requires considerable perseverance. In the end if the object sought for is attained, it will more than compensate for the hard work that led to it—and we will have gained far more than the meie exemption from examination. 6 OAK, LILY AND IVY. At our last prize speaking contest that was held in the assembly hall, a semi-chorus composed of about twenty-five members of the different classes took a prominent part. The idea of having a chorus, consisting of pupils of the school, participate in the high school entertainments has never before been fully realized. The semi-chorus has been rehearsing weekly under the direction of Miss Esther G. O’Connor, our singing teacher, and is making good progress. They will be called upon in the latter part of May, to render selections in memory of the soldiers who fought and fell while fighting bravely for their country, and we feel that they will show the benefit of the instruction that they have thus far received. Now that our baseball season has fairly started, it would be appropriate for us to say a few words in regard to its support. There are several ways in which to support a school team and to lead it on to victory. The most important, no doubt, is to aid the team in a financial way, by purchasing season tickets and by paying athletic dues promptly. Another method and one that has proved very effective on many occasions is by good cheering. Cheering encourages the players and buoys them up to a keener sense of their duty, and is often instrumental in winning games, which otherwise would have been lost, had they not been encouraged. For several years past there has not been any organized cheering, except in last year’s case, when a cheering band came together, and did excellent work, especially in the important games. We have some excellent teams to cope with this year, and so far this season our boys have demonstrated that when the time comes they will show their mettle, and we know that they would be even more confident if they had some one to back them up in the manner mentioned above. Later in the season our team will play some of their hardest games, and we know that the cheering squad will continue the good work that they did last year. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 7 Dan Maguire. “Did I ever tell you about Dan Maguire, boys? No? Well, then—here goes.” The “boys” settled back comfortably on their boxes or barrels, which ever the case might be, and the clerk, Davis, perched on the counter. “It was while I was living with my uncle on the farm in Tennessee and go¬ ing to high school in the town that I first met Dan. He entered the Freshman Class about the middle of the year while Charlie Freeman and I were seniors. Talk about grit! Well, that youngster had the genuine article all right! I tell you, fellows, I’d rather have gone to the edge of the world and jumped off than to have faced that crowd of boys and girls looking like Dan Maguire did that day! His clothes might have fitted him six or seven years before. It’s certain what was left of them didn’t fit him then. He was barefooted, and what was infinitely worse, bareheaded. And, besides, he was no ways handsome (though he couldn’t help that, of course,) his hair being a burnt-out red; his mouth reach¬ ing pretty near from ear to ear; and his nose being decidedly fat and snubby. To be sure, he had fine, honest, grey eyes, and a firm determined chin, but it was many long years after that I noticed these. “Just how he ever scraped together learning enough to get into high school, and how he ever persuaded old Farmer Prate, who took him from the Home to let him go are questions which I never could settle. “How did they treat him at school? Why, we boys did plague him consid¬ erable, I reckon, but as for the girls, they wouldn’t have touched him with a forty- foot pole. “Well, to go on with my story, he didn’t have any books nor any money to buy them. I didn’t bother myself much about that, though, till one day I was walking past the parsonage and happened to see Charlie Freeman giving Dan something. It was his own old books and he was dealing out those old torn text-books as though he were a king bestowing an earldom on some poor beggar. And I reckon Dan felt that way too for his eyes were shining like stars; they lit up his plain countenance and made it almost beautiful. When Charlie saw me he dodged around the corner and when I teased him he made me promise I’d never tell any of the boys. “It was along about the last of May that same year when Charlie gave the big Fraternity banquet over at Riverdale. He didn’t dare tell his father for Parson Freeman might not have approved of all that went on over there, and he wouldn’t tell his mother because she believed in him implicitly and he wanted her to keep on at it. So when the proprietor of the hotel became annoying Charlie came to me. Now I’d lent him money and lent him money till I was tired and sick of it. But if I’d known just what he was going to do to get it, I’d have lent him the coat off my back. He went away kind of huffy and said he’d get the money just the same. And he did. “The school had just been given a mighty fine picture—a genuine Van Dyke. And when one morning that picture was missing there was a powerful hot time in the old town. First all the probable theories were discussed and thrown aside, then all the possible ones and slowly but surely suspicion began to settle around Dan Maguire. There wasn’t any positive proof, you know, but being an orphan and a stranger and uncommon smart,—besides it was quite natural they should suspect him. “Well, we watched him day and night for a spell and it was during this time that I was sent down one night to keep guard under his window. Some¬ how I didn’t believe Dan took that picture but still it was mighty strange how s OAK, LILY AND IVY it should walk off all of a sudden, as you might say. I was racking my brains for a solution to the problem when what should I see but a shadow glide silently out of the house, across the yard and down to the big cow-barn. The blood all rushed into my head and I trembled from head to foot. I felt Dan was guilty and I was going to be the one to convict him but somehow I wasn’t as happy over it as I thought I should be. I followed stealthily and by the time I had reached the barn door the shadow had crept inside. 1 heard stifled sounds from the grain room and I tiptoed up to the wall and listened. I heard!—and then for a moment it seemed as if heaven and earth were reeling round me!” Here the speaker stopped and pressed his hands against his temples as though he saw some horrible spectre. For a. moment he scanned the faces of the men before him lit up by the red glare from the fire-place, and then continued. “It was Dan all right. He was lying there stretched out on a bundle of straw, tossing and moaning and sobbing like some tortured soul. Over and over again he kept muttering, ‘I’ll never tell, I’ll never tell. No, they can hang me first. I know he did it but they shall never know.’ Then he’d pray to God and his ‘angel-mother’ to give him strength to keep his resolution. Then he’d murmur ever so soft like, ‘He was kind to me and he’s the only person in all the whole wide world that ever was before.’ “I’d never seen suffering before and I didn’t know what agony meant, but when he said that, boys, 1 just couldn’t stand it any longer and I cleared out as fast as my shaking legs would carry me. “The next morning, bright and early, I went up to the parsonage deter¬ mined to do a very disagreeable task, namely, to disillusionize the parson and his wife. They were just sitting down to breakfast when I got there and, of course, I had to sit down with them. I had always thought Parson Freeman a wise and good man but I had never realized quite how noble and true he was till I heard his talk that morning at the breakfast table. It comes back to me now after all the years just as though it were yesterday. He was talking of school days and he pictured the awful crime of giving way to our petty vices an d weaknesses; he showed how they lead up to monstrous evils and he ended with a touching narrative of a prodigal son who had broken a fond parent’s heart. Then Mrs. Freeman kissed her son’s forehead with an expression of thankfulness that he would never grieve his parents. “Well, boys, by the time that meal was finished I could no more have told them what I came to tell them than I could have flown to the moon. “And when the news came that Dan Maguire had been arrested and hauled off to prison I just couldn’t help saying, ‘Dan hasn’t got any folks.’ “I reckon you think me a sneaking coward but I simply couldn’t help it. You’d have done the same thing in my place. “When the trial came off Dan wouldn’t say a word either way so he was found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison. “Then Dan sort o’ slipped out of my life and I didn’t see nor hear anything more of him till just a few weeks ago. I was reporting for the ‘Washington Sun’ and there was going to be a big function down town that I had to write up. When I got down there I found it was a dinner given in honor of some chap who had done some mighty fine work on a Peace Commission. I didn’t recognize him at first. It was only when he got up and told his story, because he’d heard it whispered he was a jail-bird, that I knew it was the old Dan. And then, boys, instead of making Charlie out the low, sneaking villain that he was you’d have thought him a saint glorious to have heard Dan tell that tale. By the time he’d finished there wasn’t a man in the room but what wanted to spend a few years in prison for Charlie Freeman. As for me I just picked up my hat and I haven’t reported that dinner to the ‘Sun’ yet.” Sara Hasicard, 1911. OAK, LILY AND IVY 9 The High Cost of Living. In nearly every up to date newspaper and magazine you will come across an article written upon “The High Cost of Living” or “The Consumer’s Dollar.” This important condition of our country concerns everybody and even Congress has ordered an investigation. Many people lay its causes to the tariff, others to trusts and I believe that they are not far from right. It is generally known that many things are cheaper and better in foreign countries than here, but still if you look your purchase over carefully you will find that in many cases it was produced in the United States. Many different articles would become cheaper if the import duty was taken off. Also those who lay it to trusts have good reasons for doing so. This is not so easily remedied as the tariff as the trusts are too rich and powerful to permit the undermining of their foundations in a short time. But if both these barriers were removed other obstructions and per¬ haps more serious ones would be met with which would be hopeless to attack. Therefore by meddling one is apt to make a bad matter worse. If you will take any one of the food necessities and trace back its route from the consumer to the producer you will generally find that the producer is a farmer. Perhaps you have heard the old people complain of the high price of food com¬ pared with what is was when they were young, but if you will compare the census and number of acres under cultivation now with that of their time I think that you will be greatly surprised in the discovery that agriculture has not in¬ creased with the rapidly growing population. Therefore it looks as though more people have got to turn to the profession of farming in order to reduce the cost of living; they have got to be the producers or, in other words, the utility farmers. By the word “farmer” I do not mean the class of men that the young people of today try to imitate with their “Got yer hay all in?” or “I calculate its going to rain,” but men who can successfully till the soil with some other purpose in mind than to raise enough produce to supply his family with food and to pay the interest on the mortgage. But a person will ask where he is to obtain the land as he has not the means to buy enough land to make it really worth his while to give up his job and turn to an entirely new occupation without good prospects in sight. The question of obtaining the land is not a hard one if anybody is accus¬ tomed to taking short walks and electric car rides and if this is the case it does not take much time to observe that acres upon acres of land are lying idle or are engaged in growing an almost impenetrable underbrush that is of no use to civilization. These lands could be leased perhaps for a number of years for their taxes and betterments, and once this leased land is cleared and properly fertilized the abundant returns show that it was a good investment. But of course it re¬ quires some capital to get started. Another method of obtaining land is in the so-called “Abandoned Farms.” These farms are generally patches of land that have been overworked and have not had those elements put back into the soil which are necessary to produce good crops, but by a careful analysis the needed constituents may be supplied and the land brought up to the highest degree of production. These farms are cheap and are sold on very liberal terms. But if a man has a good position which brings him in a moderate income it would not be good policy to surrender his position for a profession that he is wholly unskilled in, but by joining a union shorter hours might be obtained and his extra time put into a small kitchen garden and his time spent evenings in IO OAK, LILY, AND IVY. studying up scientific farming and in reading some of the practical agricultural papers. Farm life is not as it used to be. Now the isolated condition of the farmer is remedied by railroads, the heavy, slow, and laborious situation is now eliminat¬ ed by labor saving machines such as a seed planter which not only digs the furrow for the seed and plants it, but covers it up and rolls the earth over it to hasten germination. On the farm with the use of commercial fertilizers and good judg¬ ment the land may be made to produce double and nearly triple the amount grown only a half century ago; also the keeping of domestic animals is more profitable than it used to be if the owner raises the feed for his stock. It is easily seen that there are few necessities of life that cannot be raised upon the farm ; besides making the farm bring in a moderate income from sup¬ plying the market with fresh produce. Why is it then that people will suffer and complain when such a simple and efficient remedy is at hand? Why is it then that they will let the middle man con¬ trol the prices and force upon them food of inferior quality. By following this formula, “The Consumer’s Dollar” will dwindle to such an extent that afterwards it will seem like a dream to think that you once paid a dollar for what you now pay half or less. ' Fake a few acres of land, mix well with it common sense and good judgment and in other words become the Producer, the Middleman and the Consumer. 1912 . The Thing That Is. It must have been quite late that night when I returned, and entered my room. It was early in May then, and the air was delicious, filled with the fra¬ grance of a million blossom ing trees. Earlier in the evening, there had been a full moon, but now it was hidden by dense clouds. The window was open, and as I stood there, I could hear the wind stirring the far-off woods, and I could see the vague, white forms of the apple trees swaying, slowly and majestically. They seemed to be whispering together—or was that the first faint warning of what was to come? 1 remember that I took a book, and began to read. I became absorbed in its perusal and paid no attention to the passage of time, and so I think it was quite near morning when I first began to notice that I was not alone. A peculiar, monotonous sound was filling the room. At first, it seemed to come from far off, faint, and even melodious, like the murmur of a brook in the woods, washing over the pebbles. Then it began to grow louder, and clearer, until, at last, in hor¬ ror, I realized what it was—the sound of a voice, somewhere in the room. I looked about me; but I could see nothing unusual. I was alone, yet there was this voice to haunt me, always repeating the same thing, ominous, threatening, calling me away from the life 1 love. Then the voice ceased, and, as I watched the corner intently, slowly, silently, there grew into being the thing that is, rising straight from the floor, tall, dark, shrouded in the impenetrable gray of a long cloak. The face—but there was no face then. There was only a black empty space where the head should have been, and two brilliant points of light that seemed to turn relentlessly toward me. Pres¬ ently, it moved and came near me; reached my side—and then, in the empty hood, a face appeared. You may think it was the putrid, awful face of one long dead. It was something far different. From that long cloak, covering the body of a OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 man, the face of the Haunter of Fife looked out upon me, and looked—and looked until I could endure the agony no longer, and buried my face in my arms. Even then, through closed eyelids, I could see that relentless, searching look. And the voice rang in my ears, calling, commanding! I shuddered, but it was not with fear. The horror of it had gone beyond fear; it had become the awful despair and dread that sees no hope and no end. By and by, the voice stopped again, and that strange, cloaked presence left me, and for a while there was peace. Weary and exhausted, I crept into bed, and went to sleep. Many dreams of the past entered my slumber.1 was walking along some woodland path, alone, with the twilight shadows all around me. To the west, 1 coud see the sky glow red in the beautiful after-light; there was no wind, and everywhere the dim silence of the forest, strange, impenetrable. No rustling of leaves, no singing of birds, no movement or sighing of the wind, not even the call of a cricket, singing in the evening dusk—and in the stillness that seemed to breathe of pathos, there came to me a formless dread of something that seemed to lie just beyond my dream. And again, 1 was standing at some window, watching the snow fall silently past the light outside. It was a swiftly moving, ever-changing curtain of white, falling straight from the darkness of night, ghostly, noiseless, ominous. It was a constant threat—the falling snow—and the same strange fear had possession of me. 1 felt, then, that there-could be no joy in the world of life and work, only sadness and endless misfortune; and I wanted to stay hidden from it forever by the curtain of snow. So dream after dream came and left me, and at last I awoke; the impend¬ ing dread of my dreams became a real, living presence. Sunlight poured into the room in a great, golden flood, but the thing that is had returned. Sunlight and day had no power to banish it. And it was the same dark, gloomy thing- of the night, with the face of the living horror that preys on the hearts of men. I resolved to rise and go somewhere into the open air—somewhere that the horror could not follow, some place where there would be no voice to call me away from the life that seems so full of joy. As I attempted to rise in the bed, I was forced back again. The haunting presence just beside me had not stretched out a hand, had not even touched me, but the eyes had blazed into fiercer flame, and somehow had compelled me to fall back. So I lay there, listening to the music of the voice that became all the more ter¬ rible because of its very music, and melodious call. Friends came at last. You many wonder, but they never even saw that form beside me. They came and touched me, and murmured words of sympathy, just as though I were sick ; but I was so fascinated with the insidious voice of the thing that is that I scarcely heard them. They had a doctor come, and he looked grave, as was his custom, and told me I had some sort of fever. I didn’t pay much attention to what he said; he didn’t know what I knew. So the days have gone by, one by one, slowly and monotonously; and the thing that is, still stands there, at the foot of the bed, and the voice is sounding now, You don’t see or hear it?Probably not; I told the doctor, and he smiled rather sadly, and told me that there was no voice and no form. He told me that I just imagined it and I would soon forget it. I know better, though; the Horror calls and before long I shall have to go. Look! see how the curtain swings and sways beside the window here, and how the long beams of sunlight run across the floor. Somehow, the whole air is filled with a fragrant perfume; I seem to be walking in the apple orchards, with the drifting, pink petals floating all around me. Listen a moment! Don’t you hear the leaves rustle and whisper as the wind touches them? Wouldn’t you hate to leave it all? • 12 OAK, LILY AND IVY. The other day the doctor brought in another man to see me. They talked with me a while, and then conversed in low tones by themselves. They thought I didn’t hear them. I did hear them, though; and I know now that they think I’m crazy, hut they don’t know the truth. You, who have heard my story, can you doubt my sanity? Ah! it is always calling—The Haunter of Life—and I know I must go soon. Listen! Don’t you hear it? Fred Harrington,, ’ll. School motes. Prize Speaking Contest. The second prize speaking contest of the school year was held in the Assembly Hall, Friday evening, April 8, 1910. As usual a large number of people were on hand to listen to the fine programme which was arranged for the evening, and to greet the efforts of the would-be orators. A semi-chorus composed of members of the different classes made their initial appearance before the public. They ren¬ dered two selections which were highly enjoyed by the audience. The medals in the contest were awarded to Luigi De Pasquale TO and Sadie O’Connell ’ll. James Luchini TO and Florence Dwyer received honorable mention. The winners represented the Milford High School in the Interscholastic Contest at Leominster, April 15. jl £ Interscholastic Prize Speaking Contest. On April 15, Sadie O’Connell and Luigi De Pasquale, the winners in the prize speaking contest of the week before, spoke at the Interscholastic contest which was held at Leominster. The schools represented in the contest were Mil¬ ford, Gardner, Leominster and Fitchburg. First prizes were won by Gardner and Fitchburg pupils, and second prizes by pupils from Fitchburg and Leominster. Mr. J. C. Hull, the principal of the Leominster High School, and formerly prin¬ cipal of our high school, with his wife pleasantly received the Milford party. The judges of the contest were Elizabeth T. Weir, principal of Worcester school of elocution; D. W. Abercrombie, principal of Worcester academy, and Rev. T. F. Scanlon, S. J., professor of elocution at Holy Cross college. After the contest the Milford contestants were the guests of Mayor M. F. O’Connell of Fitchburg over night. The following morning, owing to the kindness of Mayor O’Connell, who is an uncle of Miss O’Connell, the Milford party, including Principal and Mrs. Clarke, enjoyed an automobile trip through the city of Fitchburg, which was thoroughly enjoyed. The party visited the City Hall, and were shown over a part of it by the Mayor, who took great pains to see that his Milford friends should thoroughly enjoy themselves. The Seniors have issued several hundred invitations to their class dance and reception to be held in Town Hall on Friday evening, May 13. ' They hope to meet their friends in large numbers on that occasion. OAK, LILY AND IVY 3 XLhc THumor of Iff.

Gray¬ son, Durgin and Dunphy; Upton high, Cooley and Smith. This game was fol¬ lowed by three straight victories, with Hopkinton high, Alumni and Franklin high, respectively. The game with Hopkinton high, April 16, was of the runaway kind, the final score being 15-4, in our favor. Batteries, Milford, Mahoney, Durgin and Marcus; Hopkinton, Toner and McCarthy. A large crowd on Patriot’s day morning saw the Alumni go down to defeat before Durgin’s masterly pitching, with good support from his teammates. Score 4-1. Bailey’s work in the field was a feature. Batteries, Milford high, Durgin and Dunphy; Alumni, Hogarth and F. Cenedella. On April 23, Franklin high school journeyed to Milford and the result was one of the closest and most exciting games imaginable. Not until the eighth inning did Milford make sure of victory, when Lynch’s fine three-base hit brought in the winning run. The score in detail: OAK, LILY AND IVY.

It contains four interesting stories of medium length. Judging by your cover, you evidently believe that “variety is the spice of life.” Not even one cut! “The Aegis” contains some good stories and an excellent Senior alphabet. The article entitled “Experiences of a Forester,” in the Dean Megaphone, is extremely well-written and finely illustrated, but larger print would improve your paper. “The Karux” is certainly an interesting little paper and its Easter number has a very pretty cover. A few cuts or pictures would improve its general ap¬ pearance. Why don’t you put all your jokes in one column instead of scattering them through the paper? “The Distaff” is a well arranged paper and the cuts are skilfully drawn. The department “From the Alumni” is very interesting and a good idea. “The Artisan’s” new cover is very attractive and gives one a hint of the good material inside. The sketch of the Chelsea Fire is graphically told. We are always glad to receive the “Red and Gray,” because it is such an all- around good paper. The cut at the head of the School Notes department is very humorous and the stories interesting, especially, “A Proposal.” r Fhe stories in the last issue of the written. ‘Enfield Echo” are numerous and well “The High School Herald’s” cuts are numerous but not particularly well done.

As this is the last number to be issued before the graduation number,. the board of editors wish to thank those who have sent in contributions to the paper and who have also helped in other ways. They also wish to thank the pupils and the alumni for their subscriptions, and they hope that in later years the paper will not only maintain its past standard but far excel it. j j The board of editors wish to say a few words to those who take up their duties as editors of the paper next year. Every, new board of editors is ambi¬ tious to make its paper the best one of all schools, and better than any that has ever been published in its own school. Now it would be a difficult matter for us to make our school paper equal to that of other schools which are larger than ours, and which have many more pupils to support it. But there is one thing that you can and ought to strive hard to do, and that is to bring the paper to a better standard than it has been prior to your time. 8 OAK, LILY AND IVY The management and publishing of a school paper is not such an easy matter as most people imagine. Especially when insufficient interest is taken in a paper, the editors are apt to grow discouraged, and lose interest themselves. As our paper is not a large one, we have not found it very difficult to publish it, and we hope that the school will never arrive at a point where they will fail to support their own High School paper. The retiring editors wish the new board the greatest success and bespeak for them the most cordial support of every Milford High School student and alumnus. A Victory For All. “Its’ all very well, John Norton, if you insist upon sending Charles to . Metus’ School, you may do so; he is your son, but I tell you the school is 1 rough for my dear little boy. You must remember that Charles is only eighteen years old his next birthday and when he gets with those ‘hoodlums’ out there in the west with no one to make them stop teasing and bothering him, he will have a fit of nervous prostration,—but do as you like.” Thus spoke Mrs. John Norton, in a very grieved tone. “You speak of Charles as if he were a young grammar school boy, instead of a high school fellow graduating this June. Don’t you think Charles has vital¬ ity enough to make those ‘hoodlums’ you speak of, stop teasing and bothering him and not telegraph for his mama and papa to come and make them stop?” I intend to send Charles to St. Metus’ School and I intend to make him get out and go into everv college sport there is there; I will not have him tied to your apron- strings any longer, so make up your mind to it,my dear.” That morning while Mr. Norton was at his office, poor Mrs. Norton sat at home crying over the prospects of having her only son go off to a school where she could not see him every day. This was bad enough but the idea of putting him by force into every college sport there was in the college, near¬ ly gave her hysterics. Why she could remember the time when Charles was at their summer home at Sailsbury Beach last year and some mean boys of his own age, had thrown sand at him, he came home half crying and would not go out again unless his father or mother were with him. But if John Norton said he w as going, all the fates could not change his mind. It was the 21st of October. Mr. and Mrs. Norton w r ere eating their break¬ fast, when the large lettering on the sporting page of a leading newspaper attracted Mr. Norton’s atention. St. Metus’ vs. St. Joseph’s. Last Game of the Season To Decide the Championship. Mr. Norton glanced over the players listed for the game, and much to his surprise there appeared his son’s name among the “subs.” He was to play center in case that Burton should be injured or if there should be any slugging, he v as to take the culprit’s place. He said nothing about it to Mrs. Norton but determined to get out to that game at any cost. “I think I shall go on a business trip to Chicago this evening; I must get a fev new machines for the office and I think I can buy there to advantage, so if you will have Sampson bring my suitcase down to the 7.30 train, I will go on OAK, LILY AND IVY 9 that one.” He packed his case and after saying goodbye to Mrs. Norton he started for the office. The game was called for 3.15 and one of the most interested spectators was John Norton. There was Charles sitting on the side lines ready to be called into the game at any time. The first half passed without anything of special interest to the expectant father. The second half of the game was called. Charles still sat on the side anxious¬ ly awaiting his turn. About two minutes after the half began, Burton was kicked in the head and had to retire from the field. John Norton’s heart stood still; there was Charles running to take Burtons’ place at center. Idle game progressed but still the score stood 5-0 in favor of St. Joseph’s College. Cheers rent the air for each team, flags and banners floated on the breeze and iry one was waiting anxiously. dfliere were five minutes to play; St. Metus’ had the ball; Burns flew over the ound, five more feet to run, four more minutes to play,—alas, he was thrown; ut the ball rolled from his hands, Norton seized it, and in a second was behind the goal, ddie score was tied! The crowds on the grand stands were as mad people let loose; they cheered, screamed, and yelled. Now the critical point,—the try for goal. Norton was the center player and was called upon to kick the goal; he ad¬ vanced nervously yet with a determined look upon his face,—he looked at the pigskin then at the goal, took a good start, ran, kicked the ball and over the goal it went as straight as an arrow. Norton had won the game. The crowd on the stands were actually crazy for the time being, but not one of them was so pleased as Mr. Norton. The 24th day of October found Mr. and Mrs. Norton together breakfasting, Mr. Norton telling breathlessly the victory in which Charles played so prominent a part. His wife smiled pleasantly and said, “It’s a victory for all.” Rena D. Con can non, 1912. The Lucky Hit Waverly College was a large brick building situated on a hill one side of which sloped gently toward a wide river. The other side terminated in ath¬ letic grounds. Being situated on the top of this hill surrounded by a green car¬ pet, as it were, Waverly College appeared to be the monarch of all it surveyed. It was sunset about the end of June. The following Saturday Waverly would play its greatest rival Walton University and as a result both schools were anx¬ ious and eager for the game and it was the all absorbing topic of the day. Stroll¬ ing along the baseball field on this evening, one might see two boys; one was about 19, the other a year older. The latter, Tom Sanderson, was light complexioned. His body was lithe and supple and his stride denoted that its owner was muscular. The other, Frank Coleman, was dark, complexioned, about as tall, but a little stouter than his friend Tom. His form also seemed to denote great strength. Tom, the captain of the team, was the pitcher, and he had shown such form thus far that lately he had IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. received an offer to play in one of the major leagues. Frank was the catcher and was said to be one of the best catchers that Waverly had ever produced. This year so far six men had stolen bases on him in twenty-two games and out of thirty-seven chances he accepted thirty-four. These two friends were talking of Saturday’s game and about the condition of the team. “Well! there is a saying,” said Frank, “that everybody has the privilege of voicing his own opinions and I am going to tell you mine. Higgins, in the first place, is a great shortstop ; he is not very big but what he lacks in bulk he makes up in brains. He is a great batter and I think he ought to head the list. Then there’s Wiggins, the first baseman, who can be depended upon to hold up his side of the argument if Higgins starts something. Then comes Vaughn, Sil¬ ver, Vonte and Black, who are all good batters, but next comes Hoppe and my¬ self ; neither of us can do anything in the batting line to do any damage. Why I believe if you threw a balloon at me, I’d miss it by a couple of yards.” “That’s all right,” said Tom, “you can talk that way if you wish, but I know you can bat. Look at what you did to the ball last Saturday; why, you stung it so hard that I’ll bet the ball was glad when the game was over.” “Yes! but accidents will happen you know,” said Frank. “Well,” said Tom, “if you don’t get a hit Saturday, luck or no luck, there will be war.” “Then,” said Frank, “I will have to patch the holes in my bat because Walton’s pitcher is a star. Last Saturday I heard that he had Bricklawn com¬ pletely at his mercy and remember the hard fight we had to beat ‘Brick.’ ” “Well, all I say is that if you don’t get a hit, don’t come near me until I become calm. If you do-,” but the rest was lost as the boys parted to:-go to their rooms. At last came Saturday. In the morning a light fog was evident, but this soon disappeared. The sky was not marred by a single cloud and the sun shone in all its glory. At two o’clock the people commenced to gather with horns and banners. At three o’clock the players came on the field of battle and at once began practicing. That both teams had plenty of ginger was very evident. At last half past three came and the umpire shouted the ever welcome cry of “Play Ball.” The line up was as follows. Waverly Walton Higgins ss Backster c Wiggins lb Hand lb Silver cf Manster ss Coleman c Poole p Vonte rf Singer 2b Vaughn If Pond rf Hoppe 2b Brooks cf Landon p Long If Backster 3b Tiff on 3b Backster stepped up to the plate and hit the first ball pitched for a two bagger but no one advanced him for it was one, two, three, with his successors. In Waver¬ ly’ s half, Higgins bunted down the third base line and was safe. Wiggins lined out the ball for a two bagger but when Higgins tried to score, Long returned the ball with a perfect throw, and Higgins was out. Silver and Coleman struck out. It was one, two, three, for both sides until the fifth inning. It was clearly a pitchers’ battle. In the fifth with two out, Hand bunted safely. Manster made a sacrifice, Poole lifted a drop for a pretty single and Hand scored on a close decision OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 amid the roar of tin horns, yells and the fluttering of red and blue striped flags. It was again one, two, three until the eighth, when Walton vainly tried to score again. The first of the ninth opened with the score 1-0 in Walton’s favor. Pond the first man up secured a single and promptly stole second. Brooks and Long struck out hut ' Tiffon drove a savage liner toward Vonte who secured it by a sensational leap¬ ing, barehanded catch. In Waverly’s half, Landon secured a single, Black and Landon worked the “squeeze” play successfully, both being safe; Higgins struck out but Wiggins secured a “Texas leaguer” for one base. Silver tried valiantly to get a hit but only succeeded in hitting a high foul to the catcher. Coleman stood up to the plate, his face drawn and white but a look of deter¬ mination in his eyes for he knew that the result of the game rested on his shoulders, and the reputation of the team of which his dearest friend was captain hung in the balance. He was assailed on all sides with “lean on it;” “hit it out;;” “show us what you can do;” “knock the cover off of it;” hit it on the stitches” etc. The first ball was an out which he struck at and missed, the next two were halls, the next was a strike, then another ball. The next came at him like a cannon ball. He closed his eyes and struck at it with all his might. Crack! The ball headed in the direction of the left field fence and disappeared over it. It was a home run and Frank was borne off the field on the shoulders of his classmates. Frank was the hero of the hour. His name was on everybody’s lips. That night the town was “painted red” and a few weeks after in a public ban¬ quet tendered him by the “fans” of the town, he was presented with a beautiful silver cup in memory of his lucky hit. KEANE, 1912. - • One Day of the Washington Trip. Monday morning we awoke rather early, refreshed after a long sleep and ready for another day of travel. This was really the first day of sight-seeing. We were told to hurry and eat our breakfast and to be ready to start about half past eight. We went first to the Treasury Building. It is an immense granite building near the White House. Here we were divided into three parties and given guides who conducted us over the building, showing and telling us about the interesting things. We saw the large vaults where the money is kept. Through windows we could see the printing of paper money. There are three one-dollar bills on a sheet; these have to be counted, cut and put in packages. Women are employed to do much of this work. Then we saw a large quantity of old money which had been sent back to be redeemed. The bills are rendered useless by being cut in two and a hole put in each half. The weights which are used to weigh the gold and silver in the vaults were shown to us. Leaving here we went to the Washington Monument. There were several 12 OAK, LILY AND IVY. people before us and as we would have had to wait an half hour for the elevator, almost all of us decided to walk up. The boys were ahead, as usual, and some of them went up in a very short time. It seemed as if we would never reach the top, but when we did, we were repaid by the beautiful outlook and the fine air. De¬ scending to earth again, we crossed over to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Here we were not admitted because it was too near the noon hour. We went next to the White House. Here we were ushered into the East Room, where we had to await our turn to pass before several of the other rooms. The rooms were beautiful and we would have liked to spend more time in looking at them, but we were not allowed to. From here we took the trolley cars and went up to the hotel for lunch. After lunch, we started out again. We went to the post office, a great granite building, on Pennsylvania avenue. Much time was spent in looking at curious things which had come to the Dead Letter office. All through the building are models of mail-coaches and mail-steamers. Then we passed through the room where many men were at work opening “dead” letters and sorting them out. As it was getting late we hurried back to the Bureau of Printing and Engrav¬ ing, but were disappointed again, as all work had stopped. So we left here and went through two of the Smithsonian Buildings. Here were gathered many relics which were very interesting. As it was nearly dinner time, we took the car back to the hotel. After dinner, as many of us had decided to go to the theatre, we went to our rooms in order to get ready. llie play was a musical comedy, “The Talk of New York.” It was very good and gave us much enjoyment. It was a little after eleven when we reached the hotel, tired and happy, and pleased with as much of Washington as we had seen. Marion Tucker, ’10. jfrom ©ur lErcbanges. “The Red and Blue,” April edition, contains several stories written in an interesting manner. “The Last Resort” is extremely good. The material in this paper is very well arranged. Two very interesting stories in “The Greylock Echo” are worth reading. They are “The Bogus Telegram” and “Faithful Ann’s Easter.” The former story is about a track meet and how jealousy on the part of one boy nearly suc¬ ceeded in losing the victory for another. The latter story describes the travels of a little girl looking for her brother. 1 he Death of the Widow Perkins,’ ' in the “Lakonian,” is very humorous. This is the first number we have received of this paper, and it has made a very favorable impression. “The Artisan” has a very good cover, picturing the kind of schools our grand¬ mothers attended. The material in this paper is well done. “ I he College Signal” from Massachusetts Agricultural college, has a cut of their new Etomological Building, to be ready for occupancy by September, 1910. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 3 “The Heckling Graphic” contains a very good article in their April number entitled, “Economic Effects of Slavery in the South,” which ought to be read by every member of the Senior class. “The Rivals,” in the “Mt. Hollis Outlook” is a very well-written storv, and is by far the best item of the paper. Idle April number of “The Owl” is the best one of the year, and that is saying a good deal, as it has always been an exceptionally well-edited paper. “The Iris,” from Farmington, N. H., is also a new-comer, and we are glad to receive it. The story, “Fireside Dreams” recommends it to our admiration. The article on “The Effects of the Crusade upon England” would be read with benefit by those studying Mediaeval History. The third installment of “The Good Fight,” in “The Distaff,” continues to be as interesting as the two preceding ones have been. We also received “The Premier,” “The Student,” “Mount Saint Joseph Collegian” and Cue,” “The Enfield Echo, “The Orange and Black.” n u r The ■ School litotes. The J9J0 Senior Hop. On Friday evening, May 13, the Senior class of the Milford high school held their second dance in the town hall. There was a good attendance at the dance which showed that the people took an interest in our task. The gallery in the rear of the hall was very nearly filled with people who came to hear the music. About eight o’clock the concert began and lasted until about nine. Then dancing commenced and was in order until 11.30. An intermission followed for about half an hour. Promptly at twelve o’clock dancing began again and con¬ tinued until one o’clock. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Union Singing orchestra of Marlboro. This orchestra is one of the best in the state. From eight till nine that evening the patronesses, Mrs. Edward R. Clarke, Mrs. Charles W. Wilcox, Mrs. J. Edward Barns, Miss Mary B. Ford, Miss Inez L. Gay, Miss Helen J. Gilmore, Miss Edith A. Nichols and Miss Adele Wald- meyer, welcomed the guests. The entire Senior class acted as ushers. The following were in charge of the dance: Floor Marshal, James Luchini; assistant floor marshal, Frank J. Comba. The aids were J. Harry Finn, Thomas J. Quirk, Luigi DePasquale, Stephen Archer, Mary Kelley, Agnes O’Keefe, Salome Sprague. The dance was a success in every way. The proceeds are to be used to help defray the expenses of the Washington trip. Some of the business men in town were very kind to us on this occasion. OAK, LILY AND IVY. H Avery Woodbury gave us the use of several fine chairs and rugs and Mr. Austin superintendent of the Town Farm, gave us the use of many potted plants for the decorations. To these gentlemen and to all who loaned plants and ren¬ dered assistance in any way, we extend our hearty thanks. Quirk, 1910. Principal Clarke has been notified by the New England College Entrance Certificate Board that Milford High School has had its certificate privilege renewed for a period of three years. Certificates will be given in subjects in which a pupil maintains an average of 80 per cent, during the Junior and Senior years. a « Class honors to the Seniors have been awarded as follows: Valedictorian, Olive E. Whittemore; Salutatorian, Stephen A. Archer; 3d honor, Salome F. Sprague; 4th honor, Marion Irene Tucker. The prophecy, history and class ode will be awarded by competition. Philip Callery, 1911, has been elected manager of the football team to suc¬ ceed Bernard Manion, resigned, and James Quirk, 1912, has been chosen assist¬ ant manager. Quirk will succeed to the managership in his Senior year. TLhc THumor of ITt.

Fram¬ ingham. The features of this game were the pitching by Nichols and the field¬ ing of Gallery, who accepted every chance without an error. It was the first game 16 OAK, LILY AND IVY. in which Mahoney pitched a full game. The game was very well played in spite of the fact that it was hindered by a drizzling rain. S. Framingham won by a score of 2-0. Batteries for Milford were, Mahoney and Dunphy, for S. Framingham, Nichols and Holbrook. Milford High went to Marlboro on May 6th and defeated Marlboro High 6-3. The game was in every way well played. The steadiness of Durgin and the heady support of the whole team brought out the best there was in them.

The game proved to be a good practice game because Milford had a chance to use her subs. Milford grew care¬ less and took desperate chances on bases, owing to the ease in which she could make runs. Davis pitched well for Hopedale but was given wretched support. On May 14th Milford High played Uxbridge High at Milford and beat the visitors 14-3. Uxbridge started out to win and pulled off a home run in the first inning, but Milford held them down for the rest of the game, and gave their op¬ ponents a good beating. Thompson, the pitcher for Uxbridge was inclined to be wild during critical periods, thus allowing Milford to score without an effort. Dean Academy 2nd was the team scheduled for Saturday, May 21. The game was played on the Dean Academy grounds at Franklin, and was an interesting contest. Milford out-hit her opponents, winning handily. Durgin held Dean to four hits in seven innings, and Mahoney held them hitless in the last two innings. Durgin’s and Bailey’s batting were features. Marcus made a clean home run.

For several years, the Assembly Hall in the High School building has been i8 OAK, LILY AND IVY. inadequate for this social gathering, and last year the experiment was tried of holding the reunion in Town Hall. As the attendance, which numbered over two hundred and sixty, proved the wisdom of this change, the reunion will be held in the same place this year. The program will be somewhat similar to that of previous years. After the more formal entertainment, there will be a social hour, during which refreshments will be served by the class of 1909. This will be followed by the circle of classes and the singing of old-time songs. The program of the evening will close with dancing, for which the Antrobus orchestra will furnish music. At recent reunions, members of some of the older classes have worn bows of the Alumni colors, green and white, with the numerals of the class to which they belong, and it is suggested that this custom be followed as far as possible this year. It is hoped that very many of the Alumni will take this opportunity of recall¬ ing old memories and renewing old friendships and will join with the executive committee in the endeavor to make this one of the most enjoyable social events in the history of the Association. INEZ L. GAY, ’85, President of Alumni Association. Miss Mildred Carpenter, ’ll, entertained a party of friends at her home on Congress street, May 16. Miss Etta Smith, ex-’12, was surprised at her hom on Franklin street, May 16, by a party of friends, who presented her with a handsome mesh purse. Miss Julia E. Burlingame, ex-’10 and Mr. Everett Skinner of Holliston, were united in marriage May 14. The Oak, Lily and Ivy wishes them much happiness.

Some one has well said that graduation is commencement. We feel the force of those three words now as never before. They are to us an omen; on the one side, that you expect the class of 1910 to do its best, to pursue its several duties honestly and earnestly, keeping always in mind the noble purpose for which our High School stands; on the other side, that we will try faithfully and conscientiously to fulfil our several duties patiently and unreservedly. Yes, “Graduation is Commencement.” The accomplishment of one task means the pursuance of another. The end of one thing is the beginning of a new. This law embodies the cycle of our days from youth to old age, running through the course of our whole lives and bidding us look ever toward a future, fair and bright. We sincerely hope that the memory of the indulgent sympathy of our parents, the hearty co-operation of our teachers and the best wishes of our friends which we have enjoyed throughout our school-days, will always be held by us in grateful appreciation, and that we, the class of 1910, not knowing what the future has in store, will bravely take our turn at the wheel of fortune and not disappoint the kindly wishes of all who have an interest in us. Y ou have come also to listen to our simple exercises and we shall endeavor to do our best, hoping that you may consider the hour well spent. A Saner Fourth. On the afternoon of the 4th of July, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted and signed. Historians tell us that copies of that immortal paper were carried post-haste up and down the land, and that everywhere the bold deed of the Continental Congress was hailed with enthusiastic demonstrations of joy. It is interesting to note that the first public celebration of this event was in Philadelphia on the 8th day of July, four days after the Declaration was adopted and signed. At noon on the day named, the immortal declaration was read and was received with cheers and uproarious enthusiasm. The day was given over to jollification, and the Liberty Bell pealed forth its joyous notes over the town. That grand old bell, long since silenced, will ever remain as one of the most precious heirlooms of the American people. Do we celebrate this great event aright? Is there any danger in the way it is now observed? Is there any need of this movement of reform that is working for the advancement of a safe and sane fourth? In a leading magazine for April 1910, we find the following statement. Listen! The children of our land celebrated a recent glorious 4th in this manner:—171 lost one or more fingers, 41 lost a leg, an arm or a hand, 36 lost one eye, while 16 lost the sight of both eyes. From these figures we get a total of 264 boys and girls who were thus maimed and disfigured for life! Can there be a more eloquent appeal to the fathers and mothers of our land than the mute protest of these 171 mutilated little hands raised against the repetition of another senseless and needless holocaust? But the tragedy of last 4th was still more gruesome. 215 boys and girls were killed! Think of the heart-breaking sobs 8 OAK, LILY AND IVY. and anguished cries that went up from out these desolate homes for the departed spirits of these tiny souls! Yes, and can one not safely ask the question, “Will your child be next?” The children are not themselves responsible for this so-called patriotic celebration of the 4th. It is you, and you can if you will, become for at least once a reformer. Be a reformer in the best sense of the word, and don’t wait to become one after your child is blind, or crippled or dead. Let us again turn to statistics. Mass, stands fifth in the list of the ten blackest states which killed, blinded, and maimed two thirds of the 5,000 last 4th. Those states in their respective order are, Penn., N. Y., Ill., N. J., Mass., Mo., Ohio, Mich., Ind., and Wis. The total number reported killed and injured on the 4th of July in our largest cities in 3 years amounted to 4,271. In six years the total number of dead and injured give us the awful figures of 34,603. Can anyone think of anything more appalling and dreadful as the result of the celebration of a nation’s birthday? Yet we can not get away from the facts, even so astounding as they may seem. In the startling total of horrible tragedies fully 80 per cent, of the casualties were caused from the use of powder and fireworks, fire crackers, and blank cartridges. Fire crackers claimed the greatest number of victims. Life and limb are not the only things that suffer because of our so-called patriotic celebration of the 4th. There is the loss to property. Fires in Boston for the 24 hours of July 4, 1909, amounted to 43, and occurred at the rate of one fire every 33 minutes. These fires entailed total loss of about $6,000. In the United States the total damage caused by fires on July 4, 1909, through causes wholly blamable to the methods of celebration was $446,500.00. Is it any wonder then, that after reviewing this startling array of figures we ask the question, “Do we celebrate this day aright?” Is it unreasonable that we have considered the celebration dangerous, as it is now carried out? Indeed the movement is by all means timely, and has awakened healthy and growing public sentiment in its favor. In the honor roll of cities we have the following that have adopted a safer and the saner 4th; Cleveland and Toledo in Ohio, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Wash., Baltimore, Saratoga, N. Y., Pawtucket, K. I., Springfield, Fitchburg, and Clinton in Mass. Most of these cities have adopted, in general, ordinan ces which have absolutely prohibited the use and sale of all combustible fireworks, and are allowing only Boards of Public Works, or like bodies to make pyrotechnic displays in public parks. In several cities modified plans were adopted, but the most successful plan that has been found, is that of absolute prohibition, for in the cities named above we find that because of the strict ordinances, no deaths occurred and but 25 persons were injured last 4th while on the 4th of July, 1908, the year before the restrictions were placed, there were in the same cities as many as 25 deaths and 180 injured. His Excellency, Gov. Eben S. Draper on the 26th of last May signed what is termed the “fire cracker” bill. The bill substantially contains the following. It forbides the sale of blank cartridges, bombs, or fire crackers containing anything more powerful than common black gunpowder; fire crackers larger than 2 inches in length and 2-3 of an inch in diameter; any toy pistol or toy cannon that can be used to fire blank cartridges. This bill also forbids the use of these things as well as prohibiting their sale. There are certain provisional clauses in the bill allowing the sale of certain of the forbidden articles to men or officials authorized to use them in connection with their duties. This bill has become a law and operative in time to affect the coming 4th in this commonwealth. Pres. Wm. H. Taft has said; “I am heartily in sympathy with the movement OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 to rid the celebration of our natal day of those distressing accidents that might be avoided and are largely due to a recklessness against which the public protest cannot be too emphatic.” The remedy is simple enough. All that is required is an ordinance either on the restriction plan as is suggested in the bill passed by the Mass, legislature, or on the prohibition plan that was obtained in the dozen or more cities already in the safe and sane column. The people of every community should ask for such an ordinance and insist that it be passed. This bill will then mean that when the ordinance is passed, it should be sustained, both in spirit and in letter. Will you not fall in line and do your part to help the movement to realize its aims? Will you not help swell the numbers of those who are heartily in sympathy with the idea? Pres. Andrews of Brown University has written a history of the United States in which on his chapter devoted to Independence he has inserted the following paragraph concerning Mendon, Mass., our parent town: “Mendon in the year 1773 passed resolutions containing three of the funda¬ mental propositions of the great Declaration itself: that all men have an equal right to life and liberty; that this right is inalienable, that the government must originate in the free consent of the people.” To you who are living in a community that was once a part of that very town of Mendon, I have addressed this appeal. Will you see to it that this movement progresses in your town, and that it gets your heartiest support? See to it that Milford, through your efforts, becomes enrolled on the list of safe and sane places. Stephen Calvert Archer. Arlington. Among all the interesting spots the Senior class visited on their long-to-be- remembered Washington trip, Arlington holds a high place. It is only after a personal visit there that one realizes the immensity and beauty of our National Cemetery. The first glimpse we got of this famous beauty-spot was from the top of Washington Monument, when, on looking out of one of the windows, we saw plainly the white pillars of the Gen. Lee mansion, across the Potomac. We went down to Arlington on the Washington, Alexandria Mt. Vernon Railway, entering the grounds at the Sheridan Gate. ' 1 his is an exquisitely designed entrance, formed by two upright pillars bearing the names of Scott, Lincoln, Stanton and Grant. The estate was originally part of the possessions of Edmund Scarburgh, who was one of the surveyor-generals of Virginia, in early colonial days. Later it came into the possession of John Custis, whose only son, Daniel Parke Custis, mar¬ ried “the beauty and belle of Williamsburg,” who later married George Washing¬ ton, at that time a colonel in the Virginia militia. The mansion was built in 1802 by George Washington Parke Custis. Being distinguished as the adopted son of Washington, he gave many entertainments there, and had many noted guests, such as Lafayette. Just imagine a ball there! Can not you see, in imagination, the stately dames with hair powdered and puffed and piled on top of their heads, as they gently sway their sandalwood fans? One can almost hear the heavy, bro¬ caded silk of her small-waisted, low-necked, gown rustle, as descending the broad IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. staircase, the hostess hastens forward to greet her guests, who arrive in large coach¬ es, attended by their negro servants. Can not you hear the fiddles, playing the stately minuets, to which the ladies and gentlemen step with the greatest possible dignity ? What a change! Then music and laughter reigned supreme. Now, one hears only the low-toned remarks of visitors, who come here to mourn for the na¬ tion’s dead. Then it was the manor house of a beautiful estate. Now, it is the home of the Superintendent of a National Cemetery. Would Mary Lee Custis ever have believed that one day the windows of her beautiful home would look out upon acres of graves? It seems impossible that such a change could take place in the course of one hundred years. The mansion itself remains practically the same as it was when George Wash¬ ington Parke Custis built it. The grounds, although endowed by Nature with great beauty, have been improved year by year, and now it forms a fitting rest¬ ing-place for the heroic dead of our country. ' Phe remains of over 16,000 soldiers are here. Of this number, only 11,915 could be identified. Each one of these graves is marked by a small white head¬ stone, inscribed with the name, company, regiment and date of death. The graves are arranged in parallel rows and extend over many acres of land. This display of graves has been fittingly described as a great silent encampment, un¬ der the Great Commander. Soldiers who perished in the Spanish and Philippine wars also are buried here, and a beautiful monument is erected in their honor. The West Cemetery is de¬ voted to white, and the North to colored troops. Distinctive from the rest of the gravestones, are eleven worn stones, which mark the resting-place of eleven officers in the Revolutionary War. T here are also quite a number of women’s graves here. Many women, either daughters or wives of soldiers buried there, were given permission by the United States government to be buried beside their loved ones. Counting all the graves on the estate, there are 20,000. When George Custis died, he bequeathed the Arlington estate to his grand¬ children, who were the children of Col. Robert E. Lee of the United States army. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Col. Lee left Arlington, resigned from service in the Federal Army, and became Commander-in-Chief of the Confed¬ erate forces. I he place was not vacant for long, however, for the Federal troops took possession of it and changed the house into headquarters and the grounds surrounding it to a camp. Later, the mansion was used for a hospital, and when, on account of so many battles, the number of the dead became ap¬ palling, and decent burials were scarce, the Arlington estate was taken for an immense National Cemetery, sheltering both the Union and Confederate dead. The first soldier to be buried here was a Confederate prisoner who died in a hospital. During the war, the property was sold for delinquent taxes, and the Government bought it, paying something more than $26,000 for it. Later, the rightful heir to the property, under the Custis will, asserted his claim, and the United States paid him $150,000. In whichever direction the eye wanders, the long rows of green mounds with their small white headstones are to be seen. Is it not impressive to co ' nsider that the heart of every soldier lying here once beat with the fire of patriotism, either for the Union or for the Confederacy, and that they all “gave their last full measure of devotion” in its cause? We surely must be inspired with a similar spirit, when we view the evidences of such a sacrifice. An interesting spot in the Cemetery is the rustic temple where exercises on Decoration Day are held. Lovers of nature are enthusiastic about this pic- turesque place; it is constructed with such rare good taste. The amphitheatre is formed by an embankment of green turf, and shaded by twining vines. A pulpit OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 erected there is cut from marble, in a classic design, and beautiful stone columns support the green roof. The visitor almost invariably returns to the mansion for one last look from the porch. And it is well worth a second look and indeed one is loath to leave at all. All say, with Lafayette, “it is one of the most beautiful prospects I ever beheld.” Spreading out before one, like a beautiful panorama, are Washington, Georgetown and Alexandria, with the calm Potomac that laps the shores of Mt. Vernon, flowing in their midst. The city of Washington holds the attention longer than the other parts of the prospect, because it suddenly strikes one how natural and becoming it is for the hills of the National Cemetery to overlook the National Capital. There it stands, its majestic towers rearing themselves above the horizon, the two most prominent points being the Washington Monu¬ ment and the Capitol. Arlington House itself is a work of art, the design hav¬ ing been taken from drawings of a temple in Italy, near Naples. It is ad¬ mirably situated on a hill, whose slope extends 200 ft. down to the Potomac River. It is a solid-looking piece of architecture, the front ornamentation con¬ sisting of eight beautiful Doric columns, which are made of brick and then stuccoed. At the South are the gardens and conservatory, while at the back are the kitchens, slave quarters, and stables. Coming in through the Sheridan Gate, one would never suspect one was entering a vast cemetery, except by the deep stillness which pervades the whole place. The road is shaded by large trees, and scarcely a ray of sunlight pierces the thickness of the foliage. All kinds of shrubs are set out, and many small pine trees. A visit to this sacred place inspires one with a renewed patriotism and one leaves the Cemetery quietly, thinking, in the same thought, if not in the same words: “Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead! Dear as the blood ye gave! No impious footsteps here shall tread The herbage of your grave.” Salome Frances Sprague. Class History. In September, 1906, the class of 1910 assembled at the high school to begin the first year of their high school course. The large number was divided into two sections, one part being assigned to Room 1 and the other to Room 4. The first day was long and tiresome, and we were glad when school was over. In our Freshman year the teachers were Mr. George F. Murdock, Principal; Mr. Thomas J. Murphy, Sub-master; Miss Field, Miss Ford, Miss Teele and Miss Gilmore. Every Wednesday morning we met in the Assembly Hall, joining our young and changing voices with those of the other classes, under the direction of Miss Esther G. O’Connor. This year was a very successful one in the line of Athletics; our football team was one of the best thaj ever represented the high school, and the baseball team lost but four games out of twenty-four. The team was successful in defeating Marlboro high in a championship series. In honor of this victory we paraded the principal streets of Milford, singing our songs and giving our cheers. We also had a huge bonfire on the town park that evening. Thus the 12 OAK, LILY AND IVY. first year passed, and when graduation night came it seemed to have been very short. When we returned to take up our second year, in 1907, our class was slightly diminished. During this year a change came in the teaching force; Miss Henri¬ etta Brazeau was elected to fill the position of French teacher, to succeed Miss Teele, resigned. On the first day of October Mr. Murphy died of typhoid fever. His death cast a gloom over the school. He was an able scholar and a successful promoter of athletics. Miss Inez L. Gay succeeded Mr. Murphy as teacher of Latin. In the middle of December Miss Field resigned her position as teacher of English and History, and her place was taken by Miss Edith A. Nichols. Dur¬ ing the year we achieved nothing of merit on the gridiron or on the ball-field. We took part in Rhetoricals, but none of our class took the medals. The third time the class assembled, they sat in Room 15. At the beginning of our Junior year we welcomed Mr. Edward R. Clarke, as principal of the school, to succeed Mr. Murdock. Mr. Clarke is a graduate of Williams college. Our class lost several of its former members, but welcomed Miss Agnes O’Keefe and Miss Laura Bigwood, of Medway; and Miss Josephine Westphal, from Hartford, Connecticut. As in the previous year, we took part in Rhetoricals, this time Luigi DePasquale earning the coveted medal. In the fall of 1908 the school reor¬ ganized football, and the team made a good record, considering the lack of mate¬ rial. They won seven and lost seven games. In April, under the leadership of William Dunphy, ’09, we ran a baseball team. There was an abundance of material and the team had a successful season. We again defeated Marlboro high in Marlboro, 9-3. It was in our Junior year that we conceived the idea of going to Washington. Thus in April we managed the Prize Speaking contest, and received the pro¬ ceeds from it, which amounted to fifty dollars. At graduation we escorted the Seniors to the stage, and realized that our own departure from high school was not far away. In September, 1909, the class assembled for the fourth and final year. Our members were still diminished, as is always the case,but there was added one val¬ uable recruit in Miss Helen Hutton, who entered from the Malden High School. Two of our class finished their high school course in three years, Frank A. Boyle and Mary DePasquale. When we returned in September we were determind to go to Washington in the following spring. Accordingly we conceived great plans and began to carry them out. We decided to hold a Musical and Drama in November, and it was a great success. The farce was entitled “A Cyclone for a C ent,” and the characters were taken by Stephen Archer, Thomas Quirk, James Luchini, Salome Sprague, Mabel Jackman and Marion Tucker. • Our officers during the Senior year were Stephen Archer, President; Luigi DePasquale, Vice-President; Thomas Quirk, Treasurer; Salome Sprague, Secretary. In 1909 we had an exceptionally good football team. The team was cap¬ tained by Ray Dunphy, who has shown great ability in athletics throughout his high school course. Stephen Archer was manager of the team. This team lost but four games, and had the honor of being the first high school team from Milford to defeat Marlboro in football. The team was ably coached by Alfred Cenedella, a graduate of the high school. In January, 1910, the first Prize Speaking contest of the year was held in the Assembly Hall. There was a large attendance. Luigi DePasquale a second time won the boys’ medal. • Again in February, we held another Musical and Drama in the Assembly Hall. The hall was crowded with the parents and friends of the youthful actors. The drama was entitled, “Her Busy Day.” This drama had twelve characters, and was a most laughable farce. Quite a sum of money was netted from this en- OAK, LILY AND IVY. 3 tertainment. About the middle of March a call for baseball candidates was issued, and twenty-five responded, but active practice did not begin until about the first of April. On the afternoon of March 18, with our chaperons, Mr. and Mrs. J. Edward Barns, the Seniors started for Washington. The sail between Fall River and New York was a very pleasant one to all the class. In Philadelphia we saw In¬ dependence Hall,the Mint, and the large department stores. In Washington four days were spent most delightfully, all filled with a round of sight-seeing. We climbed the great Monument, were introduced to the fascinating mysteries of the Treasury, listened to warm debates on the floor of the House, and each of us received a warm hand-clasp from Speaker Cannon and from Vice-President Sher¬ man. For these and many other favors we are indebted to our distinguished representative in Congress, Hon. John W. Weeks. On our return we stopped at New York, and enjoyed a sight-seeing ride about the Metropolis. When we returned to school again, the baseball candidates began to settle down to work. The team has proved to be one of the best that has ever represented the Milford high school. It was materially aided by the work of Arthur D. Dur- gin, who has pursued a post-graduate course in the high school this spring. He sat with the Senior Class. He is a fine pitcher and an exceptionally good batter. “Doc,” as he is known to the team, should prove a valuable addition to the col¬ lege of his choice. The team was captained by Philip Callery, ’ll, and the man¬ ager was Thomas Quirk. The greatest social event of the year was held on May 13. It consisted of a concert and a dance, and the affair was a success in every way. There was a good attendance, and the profuse decorations, of bunting and potted.plants, were much admired. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Union Singing Orchestra of Marlboro. The last entertainment of the year was held two weeks ago. The musical program was elaborate and most delightful. It was followed by a one-act farce called “The Man from Brandon,” which was reecived with much favor by the large audience which filled Assembly Hall. It has been my privilege to record briefly some of the important events in the career of our class up to this evening. I shall leave it to the prophet to tell what is to befall in the future, and may she deal mercifully with us. Thomas J. Quirk. Class Prophecy. A Letter from Josephine Westphal to Lady gow, Scotland. Helen Hutton Macintosh, Glas- Milford, Mass., June 22, 1920. My dear Helen :— After ten years’ absence from Milford, where you and I graduated from the high school, I find myself back again most unexpectedly and among many of our old classmates, about whom I must tell you. I told you in my last that Mabel Jackman planned to spend two months with me on our Dakota ranch, at the close of her theatrical season in New York. Well, she came, and was getting very well rested when, a few days ago, Stephen H OAK, LILY AND IVY. Archer swooped down upon us and invited us to come on to Boston with him in his aerial limousine, where he was to attend a banquet given by Luigi DePasquale, President of The Strenuous Life Insurance Company. Stephen is crazy over air-ships, and it was he who promoted the Chicago and New York Aero-Navigation Company. “Where did he get the money?” you ask. He told us that on the very week after his graduation he took his first long air-trip with the Wright brothers, and in passing through the tail of Halley’s Comet, he bottled up enough new and wonderful gases to make him famous as a chemist, and at the same time, a multi-millionaire. Don’t you remember how you used to laugh at Stephen, and jolly him about throwing salt on the comet’s tail? He says that your remarks set him thinking about birds, and especially about their migration, and that his whole success in air-navigation is due to what he evolved from these suggestions. We learned from him, too, that Frank Comba is the chief engineer of the Aero-Navigation Company, a most important position. We stopped in New York long enough to take Salome Sprague along with us. You can’t imagine what a stunning looking woman she is! And so full of business,—as of course, J. Pierpont Morgan’s private stenographer would be. Judging from the solitaire on her left hand, I draw conclusions but ask no ques¬ tions. She told us about some of the girls. Agnes. O’Keefe married the brilliant brain specialist who discovered that a little fissure in her gray matter had been caused by too much thinking about Burke’s Speech on Conciliation, and that the only cure was a happy domestic life. Laura Bigwood fills her large country mansion every summer with Fresh Air Children who love her to death,—just what we would expect of Laura, for we used to say at school that her name should be Bigheart instead of Bigwood. And today I read in the Milford News about the wonderful work Mary Kelley is doing, as a sister in Quebec, during the smallpox siege. She entered a convent there some years ago. Speaking of the Milford News,—our friend, William Rosen, who always had such a wonderful nose for news, is now editor. I will send you a copy, for there are always many references to the class of 1910. You will notice James Luchini’s advertisement as a clothier. He bought out the Bowker business on Main street, and is himself a walking advertisement. In fact, he is called the best-groomed man in town. Silk socks at two dollars per pair, wholesale, are everyday things for him,—very different in appearance from the Luchini in “Her Busy Day.” He invited a party of us for a day’s outing at Lake Nipmuc, which has become quite famous in this section for high class entertainments. Real artists, commanding big prices, are to be heard at Nipmuc in the good old summer time. Our host had a pleasant surprise for us when we recognized our old friend Edwin Bath as the conductor of the fine orchestra; and a still greater one when Marion Tucker came out and sang most exquisitely, responding to several encores. As the bills had announced her as “Signorina Mariana Tuckerina, the Song Bird of Massachusetts” we did not connect her with our own dear Marion. She told us how she had fought off the call of the stage for a long time, and had tried to be happy in teaching French in the Amalgamated University of Braggville. When she resigned, this chair was offered to Florence Ray, who fills it most acceptably. A distinguished member of our party was Thomas Quirk, a Latin Professor of Harvard, with ever so many letters after his name, like Ph. D. and P. D. Q. His last book, entitled “How I Overcame Bashfulness,” is one of the best sellers this year. OAK, LILY AND IVY. i5 The talk turned to missionaries, and it seems that Olive Whittemore is ex¬ pected home from India soon; but of course you know all about this, as I believe you correspond with her. I must tell you an amusing thing that happened that day at Nipmuc. I noticed a little booth with the name “Charles Withered, M. D.,” and I exclaimed “I am so glad that Withered has become a physician at last.” Luchini laughed and said. ' “That M. D. stands for Mild Drinks. The real doctor of our class is Dunphy. At the time of the last election the Suffragettes became very vio¬ lent, and X-Ray Dunphy was kept busy for days locating broken bones; but he ready prefers, above ad else, locating bads on the diamond.” Dear Helen, they ask me a thousand questions about you and your long- legged Laird. They want to know if he ready wears kilts and plays the bag¬ pipe. And what do you think Stephen Archer says? That he will fly over to Scotland very soon and see for himself. Lovingly yours, J. H. W. Josephine Westphal. The New Education. The introduction of the manual training school is being discussed through¬ out the country. Its object is to teach boys and girls something about the trades and employments into which they will enter after leaving school. Special schools may be built and fitted out for manual work, or rooms in the present school build¬ ings may be used. Different forms of industrial education will be tried in dif¬ ferent places, but after a short time ad will relate in some way to the public-school system. A committee appointed by the American Federation of Labor said, “Organized labor realizes just as keenly as anyone else that this movement in the interest of industrial education is not a fad, but a stern reality and an absolute necessity. If this country is to preserve and maintain its industrial supremacy, men and women in ad walks of life, irrespective of their station, must join hands together in one united effort. I believe we should get right hold of the boy at fourteen, when his mind is becoming impressionable, when he is just beginning to feel he wants to do something tangible; teach him the why and the where¬ fore of certain things and the very best way to do them.” There are two distinct groups which greatly need this manual training; boys and girls between the ages of fourteen and men and women who are working at some trade, who wish to increase their skid and efficiency by further study. 1 o meet the demands of the first group, with which we are chiefly concerned tonight, the grammar school must in some way put the boy or the girl on the track of a vocation. This may be done by teaching the application to life of each study or by some form of elementary industrial training. The pupils should be in¬ structed thoroughly in the fundamental principles of some trade, or of house¬ hold arts, so that they may upon graduating possess ability and confidence, and be of immediate practical value to their employers or to their homes, and, in the first instance, receive a fair remuneration for their work. When the superintendents and foremen of the factories in Rochester, N. V., were asked what deficiencies they found in the education of boys and girls who went to work for them, which hindered them most from advancement, they replied by 16 OAK, LILY AND IVY. naming four classes of boys whom they wanted; “boys who can apply the mathe¬ matics they have learned in school to the actual problems of the factory, boys who can state their needs to the foreman clearly and concisely, boys of wider general information who know something of the materials used and the processes of their preparation, and boys who will take an interest in their work and stick to the trade they are learning.” A new building for manual training was dedicated in Fitchburg, April 28, 1910. In a letter which was read at the dedication Elmer E. Brown, Commission¬ er of the National Bureau of Education, Washington, wrote, “The problem of in¬ dustrial education is one of vast importance and should engage the best edu¬ cational thought of the country. There is one phase of the question upon which it seems to me all should agree. That is, that the educational chasm between the ages of fourteen and sixteen should be bridged. The great majority of boys leave school at or before the age of fourteen, the end of the compulsory school period, but employers do not usually Avant them as apprentices until the age of sixteen is reached. During these two or more years some form of profitable instruction should be provided. As it is now, the early years after leaving school are too often a time of profitless employment and mental deterioration. This is a grave fault in our educational system and should by all means be corrected. Courses of instruction should be offered that will engage and hold the attention of the boy after he has passed the age of fourteen or has lost his interest in the cultural studies of the grammar school.” President Fish of the State Board of Education said at Fitchburg, “There should be no rash change in the present system of education. We must press on in this new line of work and get all the good Ave can out of it, and also all the good in the old system should be saved to add to the benefits. It is expected that there will be criticism of this new form of education, but that is just what is needed. I believe that just criticism helps to improve conditions. In the early times conditions were vastly different from those of to-day. Conditions in the home then were such that children got manual training there, but in late years there has been a change. A school such as is here being dedicated will again give children a chance to learn the things which in years ago they learned in the home.” In the new Fitchburg school the boys are taught carpentry and cabinet making, printing and bookbinding, mechanical and freehand drawing, designing and painting, plumbing and bricklaying. The girls are taught sewing, cooking, and household arts and freehand drawing, designing, and painting. The plan used in the grammar schools for elementary industrial training is as folloAvs:—In sewing, the girls learn first the different stitches and their uses, then how to do plain seAving and mending, after which they keep trying something harder until they attain the ability to cut and make garments. In the cooking class, after taking down a receipt in their note-books, the girls, attired in Avhite aprons and caps, go to their desks which contain all the necessary utensils and are furnished with a small gas stove, and try to carry out the directions under the teacher’s guidance. Only a small amount is made of any one thing and after all have finished and the food is ready, the girls sit down together to sample their own cooking. Then comes the washing of dishes and cleaning up. Once in awhile instead of trying some new receipt, a dinner or supper is prepared from the dishes which have al¬ ready been learned. Then under the directions of the teacher, the table is set, the dinner placed thereon, and several girls have the pleasure of enjoying the meal. Sometimes a coal range is used when lessons of how to build a fire, how to use the dampers, and how to care for a stove, are given. So as to make each class small, these lessons are not received every day, but between each lesson, some practice Avork must be done at home. Thus each boy and each girl Avho learns a OAK, LILY AND IVY. trade or the duties of a housekeeper is better prepared for his or her life’s work and those about them are benefited, so proving the old saying: Letter homes, better citizens, better towns; and in the end a better country. VALEDICTORY. Classmates, as we are assembled together for the last time as the class of 1910, our thoughts wander backward over the many happy school-days we have enjoyed together. May the inspiration of our faithful teachers by their ceaseless toil spur us on to better work as our paths diverge, some to seek increased development in higher institutions of learning and others to enter the vast business world. As we separate may the pleasant memories of the past and the bright anticipations of the future warm our hearts and encourage us to press on. With our watchword “forward” ringing clear, let us, in all that we undertake, move forward to victory. Olive Elsie Wiiittemore. ►► ♦ Class Ode. ALMA MATER. Tune, “Abide With Me.” The morn is done, our youth is near complete, From thee we turn away with hopeful feet, Yet thoughtfully we view the parting day, We now must follow in a less known way.

It was when I was quite a little shaver that father sent me down to Old Kentucky for a summer with Uncle Louie and the cousins. On the very first day of my stay, the cousins told me all about Old Tom Giuff and the West Meadow, while Uncle Louie himself warned me against trespassing on Gruff’s land. But I was a wild young rascal, and then and there solemnly vowed that I would pick blackberries in the West Meadow before the summer was over. When I first unfolded my plans to Harry, the cousin selected as an accom¬ plice in the adventure, he was struck dumb with amazement. He knew a little more about manners and customs in the “Blue-Grass,” than I did then. He care¬ fully explained to me the danger of going there, just as if I hadn’t heard of it a dozen times before. He told how Grandfather Maclie had died and left the farm to Uncle Louis, and how, when he and Tom Gruff had tried to settle the I boundaries, the latter had claimed the West Meadow. They had fought and. quarreled about it for a long, long time and it had finally been settled in the courts that I om Gruff should have it. Since then there had never been a word spoken be¬ tween a Gruff and a Maclie. And the Maclie who stepped on Gruff’s land or the Gruff who set foot on Maclie’s land did so at the risk of his life. And then there was a silly little yarn about my mother’s being engaged to Tom Gruff when she was a girl and how he had sent a great box of roses to her funeral, but I’m sure I never heard about it before, and even if it was so, it was none of Harry’s business! s OAK, LILY AND IVY. I listened as patiently as I could while Harry related all these facts, and then said, “Please excuse me for asking you to go, Harry, but I didn’t know you were a baby. You know I couldn’t take babies or cowards anyway.” That weakened Harry considerably, for if there was anything Harry prided himself upon, it was his courage and manliness. And so by argument, persuasion, and coaxing, I finally succeeded in winning Harry’s assistance. So one afternoon soon after, we took our pails and fishing-tackle and start¬ ed down the lane, just as if we intended to fish in the creek. But we followed the creek till we came to a path through the woods leading straight to West Meadow. When we came to the old meadow itself Harry hesitated before climb¬ ing the fence, and his face grew white under its coat of tan. “I tell you, Frank, it’s dangerous business,” he whispered, “he said he’d shoot us and he’ll do it.” “Well,” said 1, tauntingly, “maybe you had better go home, Harry, for your mother would feel pretty bad if you should get shot, but you see I haven’t got any mother to worry about me, so it doesn’t matter so much in my case.” “If you go, then I go too,” he answered stoutly, and together we climbed the fence and jumped into the field. We both felt as though we were martyrs being sacrificed for a great cause, rather than young scamps trespassing on land where we had no right to be. We crawled along among the rocks, bushes, and briers of the old deserted pasture, finding the most delicious berries I ever tasted. Our pails were just about half full when suddenly Harry caught me by the sleeve and I turned around to see him standing as if rooted to the spot, his face as white as chalk and his eyes almost starting from his head. I looked in the direction in which he pointed and there under a young tree lay a man, face down¬ ward, with his gun beside him. Harry did not utter a word; there was no need of words. It was Tom Gruff, and he was going to shoot us. Somehow the idea of being shot and left all alone in an old deserted pasture wasn’t as pleasant as sitting in the hay, in a comfortable old barn, with a crowd of cousins romping around you. Harry, having recovered somewhat from the shock, whispered to me to run, but I could not move. Then he tried frantically to drag me away by force. But all at once I saw something which turned my fear to horror—around the feet of the man oozed a stream of blood! Was he dead? Had he killed him¬ self? Would folks think we had killed him? These thoughts chilled the very blood in my veins, but nevertheless, I drew closer to the man, while Harry stood still in astonishment. 1 stooped over him and touched him. He did not move or stir. I felt his pulse, then his heart, and for a long time 1 could feel no stir or motion. Then a very faint, feeble flutter told me. that he was not quite dead. Overjoyed at this discovery, I sent the perplexed Harry for help, while I bound up the wound with my handkerchief as father had taught me to do. Help came at last, and the bullet was taken out of his foot. While out hunt¬ ing, his gun had slipped, he had shot himself and had nearly died from loss of blood. As he had lived a hermit’s life no one had missed him. He was taken to Uncle Louis’ home, and when he was told how miraculous¬ ly he had been saved, nothing would do but he must see Harry and me at once. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 We helped to while away the long hours of his convalescence and became the besl of friends,—and the old quarrel has never been mentioned from that clay to this. But of all the children, I was his especial favorite; and when he died, what was my surprise to find that he had left me his farm, with the exception of the West Meadow, which went to Harry. Sara Haskard. ’ll. My Debut on the Golf Links. A novice at any game affords great amusement for an expert, but there is perhaps no other game in which the attempts of the beginner are so ludicrous as in golf. It makes the heart of the uninitiated sink to watch a professional make a “tee,” set his ball thereupon and scientifically make a whizzing, long drive that sends a white streak called a golf ball high into the air and .far out of sight over the golf links. Then this same player turns with a patronizing air to the shrink¬ ing beginner and shows him just how it is done. An indulgent smile follows the first wild swing of the golf stick which misses the ball by half a yard or more. Perhaps the second just knocks it off the tee, but finally the game is started and the novice feels very happy to have reached his first hole, only to learn that he is to do the same thing over again. As he reluctlantly comes forward to make the first drive toward the second hole, he is greeted with a quotation from Uncle Josh’s experience with golf, as told on the phonograph, “And I whaled away at it and I whaled away at it again.” The laughter which follows is hardly conducive to good playing and the poor beginner finds that he has sent his ball but a short distance into a stubbly field where he wastes seven turns in trying to get out. When putting the ball into the second hole on the twenty-first shot, he is told the discouraging rule that nine turns is the largest number allowed on the score card. After walking over a sand pile and many rocks and pebbles in order to surmount the “bunker,” the weary beginner wonders what fun there is found in playing golf on a hot summer day. But when his proficient companion makes a poor shot which the amateur easily excels, an exultant feeling revives the lat¬ ter’s interest and his strength, which makes him finish the game with a fairly good showing. He climbs the hill to the Golf Club House with his head held high, but is very willing to lower it a bit in order to drink a long draught of pure water just brought from the spring. Soon the table is set on the wide piazza from which a fine view is obtained of the surrounding hills and valleys. While a full moon is rising, he does as much justice to the tempting dishes set before him as the professional who tells him he has done pretty well for a beginner. IO OAK, LILY AND IVY After the hilarious supper time is over and a refreshing car ride carries home the tired golfers, the beginner decides that golf is “great sport” after all. ’09 Work The Sixty-First Congress, under the spur of President Taft, has fulfilled an unusually large number of party pledges. The President declares that he is elated at the result, as “we have secured what we set out to get during the first regular session of Congresswhereas in the past it has been the custom to try to fulfill party pledges some time during the four years of the President’s term. The fact that a large part of the country is dissatisfied with the work of Congress does not justify withholding credit for what has been done. The op¬ position is expected to be dissatisfied, and to insist that if it were in power it could have done much better. If the country is persuaded, after experience with the new legislation, that the Republicans have failed to do their duty, the Dem¬ ocrats will be put in power. The point of disagreement is not on the success of the Republicans in keeping their pledges, but on the thoroughness with which they have been kept. The great measures promised were for creating postal savings-banks, for ad¬ mitting Arizona and New Mexico as States, and for strengthening the control of the government over the business of the railroad companies. All these measures were passed. There is now authority in the Interstate Commerce Commission to supervise railroad rates more completely than ever before, for the purpose of preventing unfair treatment of shippers. Arizona and New Mexico will be ad¬ mitted as states as soon as they draft and adopt their constitutions and conform to the conditions laid down in the law. The post offices will be opened for re¬ ceiving the savings of the people as fast as the authorities in charge of the work think it wise. Besides these three important measures, Congress has ordered that gold coin alone shall be used in payment of the public debt, thus preventing the Secretary of the Treasury from exercising his discretion in the use of either gold or silver coin in certain cases. Changes were made in the land laws intended to further the policy of conservation, and an appropriation was voted to enable the tariff board to secure such information as may be needed for further revision of the rates M. E. Hunter. 1912. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 With this number, the Oak, Lily Ivy enters the twenty-seventh year of its publication. It marks no important anniversary in itself, but with you and with us rests the power to make it do so. We can make our paper so much better, so much finer than it has ever been before, that the twenty-seventh year of the Oak, Lily Ivy will become one to remember, and will set the standard for succeed¬ ing years. A few months ago, an exchange published a list of the best high school papers it received, in the order of their merit; and second upon the list was the Oak, Lily Ivy. Such an honor cannot but stimulate and urge us to equal and even better it. We have the opportunity; let us use it. There are over two hundred pupils in the school at present; let each one do his part, and the paper must advance. How, do you ask? First of all, subscribe, and pay your subscription, not six months from now, but now. Second, write for the paper. This is fully as important as the first. By the present system of electing editors, only those who write the best and the most articles are eligible for a position on the board. Therefore, it behooves you to begin work immediately. Don’t underestimate the honor of being chosen an editor. It is one as important or even more so than a place on our athletic teams. .Schools in California never hear of our work in baseball or football; but they do gain an idea of what our school is from our paper. Its ex¬ changes are scattered all over the United States, and with it rests the responsibility of representing the tone and atmosphere of the school in the highest manner possible. It is a very great honor to be chosen to do this and one which we should value highly. Especially to the Freshman do we desire to speak a few words of encourage¬ ment. You are new to our school and unused to its ways. Probably you feel diffident and bashful about writing something that the whole school may read. Forget your feelings, plunge in, and write something, whether it be a story, an essay, or some article of general interest to the school. Don’t throw it away if it seems poor. The work of the best writers in the school is poor at best, and probably their first attempts were as bad or even worse than yours will be. ' Take your article to the editor, who will make any necessary suggestions, or even OAK, LILY AND IVY. I 2 better, take it to the English teacher, who will gladly help you. Above all, don’t give up if your article is rejected. Then is the time to “buck up” and try again. There are three things that make for success in such a paper as ours. They are: plenty of subscribers and advertisers, a. large number of contri butors, and a good board of editors. If you will do your share, we will do our best, and produce a paper that shall worthily represent the school. In this number appears an article by one of the alumni of this school, which gains further merit by the fact that it was not solicited. We always wel¬ come contributions from the alumni; first, because they are always interesting, and secondly, because the interest they show in the welfare of the school cannot but help and encourage us to further efforts. Very soon, we shall write to those members of the alumni who are now attending the various colleges and schools of the country, and ask for letters which shall tell us of some feature of college life. We earnestly hope that they will respond to our request, for we think that it is really a thing which they owe to their Alma Mater, when so requested. The Exchange Column is omitted this month, owing to the small number of papers received. We expect, however, that the usual number will soon appear, and we shall welcome most cordially all exchanges, both old and new. I ' he Freshmen have already commenced to shine!

The first meeting of the M. H. S. Athletic Association for the fall term of 1910 was called to order in the Assembly Hall, Sept. 13, at 1 p. m., by Principal E. R. Clarke. The following officers were elected as the choice of the meeting: President, Principal E. R. Clarke; Secretary, Mildred Carpenter; Executive com¬ mittee, Hilda Williams, William Moloney, Ralph Newcomb. During this meeting, the president read the treasurer’s report for the year 1909-1910, which is given below. All the candidates for the football team were requested to meet Wednesday, Sept. 14, at 1 p. m., in Room 1. Meeting adjourned. It is the duty of every one in school to join the M. H. S. Athletic Association. In a great many schools assessments are levied on the student body for the sup¬ port of the various school activities. Although this support is voluntary in our school, yet each one should feel himself honestly bound to join in all school ac¬ tivities as much as if it were compulsory. On Thursday, .Sept. 19, twenty-three candidates showed up for preliminary practise. They were as follows: Dalton, Callery, J. Duggan, Moloney, Sulli¬ van, McCue, Grayson, Newcomb, Hilton, Schoo ner, E. Duggan, Casey, Coombs, Crockett, Trudell, Fales, Conway, Marino, Howard, Caruso, Dc Cicco, Adams, Gillam and DePasquale. Of these, Callery, Dalton, J. Dug¬ gan, Maloney, Sullivan, McCue, Grayson, Hilton, Newcomb and Coombs were members of last year’s eleven. Bailey was unable to play this year, because of parental objections, and Marcus has left school. Practically all the squad lasted through the first two weeks of practise, which Coach Cenedella made very thor¬ ough in preparation for the Wellesley game of Oct. 1. The M. H. S. 1910 football schedule to date is given below. Manager Cal¬ lery expects to fill the open dates with elevens of Needham, Wayland and Prov¬ idence Technical high.

S. football eleven opened its 1910 season with a win over Wellesley High in a well played game. During the first three minutes of play Crockett succeeded in making a touchdown for Milford, after a Wellesley player had fumbled Callery’s onside kick. No other score was made in the first quarter. During the second quarter, a cleverly executed forward pass and a 20-yard end run by Callery netted Milford another touchdown. Wellesley scored two points on a safety, Sullivan being thrown back of the goal posts. The rest of the game was scoreless, but by agressive playing, Milford suc¬ ceeded in keeping the ball in Wellesley’s territory practically all the time. Our 16 OAK, LILY AND IVY. team showed the result of excellent training in both the mental and physical departments of the game. During the first half, Grayson sustained a slight injury and was forced to leave the field. Howard substituted, Hilton, left end, taking Grayson’s place at right half-back, and Howard covering Hilton’s posi¬ tion at end. The Score:— MILFORD HIGH. WELLESLEY HIGH.

On Wednesday, Oct. 6, Milford High played Hope St. High of Provi¬ dence, twice champion of the Interscholastic League. A squad of fourteen men, accompanied by Coach Cenedella and local rooters, left on the 12.10 car for Providence. Weather conditions w ere ideal, and the field was found to be all that could be desired. Hope St. won the toss and Milford kicked off. During the first period Providence made a touchdown after Milford had lost the ball on the five-yard line, by a series of line plays. In the second period Gallery made a forward pass to Newcomb. Un¬ penalized holding on a Providence player’s part, prevented Newcomb from get¬ ting the pigskin, which bounded into the arms of a Providence player who fumbled it. J. Duggan dropped on it back of the goal line, thus giving Milford a touchdown. The referee, however, claimed that he blew his whistle while a Providence man had the ball, and consequently called it a touchback, which counted nothing for Milford. During the last period an onside kick and a fine run by Newcomb brought the ball near the goal line, but the whistle spoiled a possible touchdown. On the whole, Milford put up a fine game against her opponents, and as in the Wellesley game, confused them by the variety of her attacking plays. On the other hand,Providence ow ed her gains to line plunging, her open plays being for the most part broken up by the vigilance of the Milford boys. Mil- lord got aw r ay with eight forward passes and three onside kicks. Aggressive playing characterized the whole game.

Dutchman.” (A legend very familiar to our grandfathers, when New England sailors had a large share in carrying on the shipping of the world, is that of the Flying Dutchman, the phantom ship of the night. It is here presented in an original form by a student of this school.—ED.) Many years ago, there sailed from the Indies a three-masted schooner, with a cargo of spices, bound for Holland by way of the Cape of Good Hope. She carried a crew of thirteen men, including the captain and the cook. The mate was a young man of exemplary habits, who always gave his orders in a calm, but masterful voice, and was admired by all his subordinates. The crew were sea¬ soned “salts,” who whiled away their spare time spinning yarns, chewing tobacco, and grumbling at their ample allowance of grog. The captain was a native of Holland, very short and fleshy, a good commander when sober, but possessed of a quick temper, which, when aggravated, became uncontrollable. It happened that he had laid in a good stock of whisky, so on this trip the mate had done nearly all of the navigating. The vessel had made a remarkably quick passage to the Cape of Good Hope, but was caught in a squall one night with all sail crowded on. Before all hands could be called to shorten sail, the topgallant mainmast had been broken off and the mainsail torn to shreds. For three days the ship ran before the wind, and when the wild fury of the gale abated, they were miles out of their course. The broken mast had to be lashed into place, and a new mainsail brought out of the hold and set up. For a fortnight they had fine sailing weather and then they struck the head winds off the cape. Then the progress became slow,and the captain began to drink steadily, but even in his intoxication, managed to keep on his feet and issue orders OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 that would have sunk the good ship, had the mate not been able to persuade him to retire to his cabin. A few nights afterwards, the captain came on deck, and ordered the mate to go below while he took the first watch. For a while all went well, but finally, the captain ordered the man at the wheel to throw the vessel into the wind, an order, which, if obeyed, would have snapped every mast off short, burdened as they were with so much canvas. The man at the wheel thought that he had misunderstood the order, and politely asked his master to repeat it. With an oath, the captain sprang for him. “Get out of here, you miserable whelp,” he yelled, and seizing the man around the neck, he threw him from his position with such force that he fell unconscious, and it was many minutes before he was able to rise. The captain then turned to the wheel, but found that the mate was busy bringing the ship to its true course. It seems that the mate, fearing trouble, had come up in time to see the result of the skipper’s order. “I thought I told you to go below; what are you doing here?” shouted the captain with his hands clinched. “You did, sir, but before I gave the ship over to you, I wanted to see that it was on its right course,” said the mate. “Oh! you did, did you?” sneered the captain. “Don’t you think that I am capable of taking care of a ship?” As the mate did not answer, the captain cursed him, and placing his hand harshly on the mate’s shoulder, he growled between his teeth, “Answer me, sir.” “Aye, aye, sir,” said the mate in a feeble tone, feeling the captain’s grip tight¬ en, but when he said it he could not give the skipper an honest look. “All right. Then go below, and stay there, d’y’hear?” “Aye, aye, sir,” answered the mate respectfully. An hour later the mate was awakened by a fearful crash, and hurried on deck, to find the foremast over the side. Evidently the captain had been steering, and as the mate saw him enter his cabin, he made things as shipshape as possible for the rest of the night, and during the next day he had the broken mast lashed to its stump. For all that, it was far too weak to bear much sail. ' The mate went to the cabin, and found the captain staring moodily into space with a bottle and glass before him. “Sir,” began the mate. “Well, what do you want now?” grumbled the captain. “I came to request that we turn back for repairs, because with the foremast in its present condition we shall never be able to beat around the cape.” “What!” ejaculated the captain. “I came to request that we turn back-” “Turn back? Haven’t we wasted enough time as it is? And now you want to turn back?” “But-” “Oh, never mind your ‘huts’,” continued the captain, giving the mate no chance to explain. “We’ll be overdue anyway. How long will it be before we pass this God-forsaken cape?” IO OAK, LILY AND IVY “Never,” calmly answered the mate. “What! Never? What do you mean by talking to me in this manner? You, you-” and the captain worked himself into such a fever-heat of passion, half due to the whisky, that he seized the bottle on the table and hurled it with such force and aim that it struck the mate square in the temple, and he fell at the skipper’s feet, never to rise again. As he threw the bottle he yelled, “I’ll beat about this cape if it takes till the Day of Judgment.” But when he saw that the mate did not get up, he threw a pail of water over him, and as this proved of no avail, he left his cabin and called a sailor, who, when he saw the prostrate form of the mate, knelt by his side, and felt of his pulse; then, turning his face to the captain, he pronounced the dread¬ ed word, “Dead!” The captain motioned for the sailor to take the dead body from the cabin. Then he took a fresh bottle from the drawer, and in a short time was wholly under the influence of the liquor. For hours he slept, always seeing before him the calm face of the mate, and ever ringing in his ears, he heard only these words, “Till the Day of Judgment!” In his sleep, the captain had a vision. The room seemed to be filled with light which came from nowhere, yet was all around him, and as he watched, he saw an angel appear before him. She looked at him steadily for a few mo¬ ments, and slowly raising her right hand until her finger pointed at him, she said, “You are taken at your word. ‘Till the Day of Judgment’ you shall wait.” For a moment, she kept pointing at him, then vanished in golden splendor, leav¬ ing the room in total darkness. For weeks, the vessel tried to beat around the cape, but was driven hither and thither by the winds. The weeks lengthened into months, and the months into years. The sails became worn so that one could see through them. The hull became bleached and in many places rotted away,but the water would not enter. The crew seemed to tread on air, and to the captain the waves sang un¬ ceasingly “Till the Day of Judgment.” To this day, many vessels come into port whose crews say they have seen the Flying Dutchman with its captain beckoning them to take him off and save him from his fate. From all accounts, the phantom ship has never been seen on the west side of the cape, and terrible misfortunes come unto the ship that it passes in the dark, gloomy hours of the night. Linus Jones T2. Military Notes. The following order is said to have been promulgated in an American camp: “ I he battalion will be reviewed by Maj. Gen. Dash at sunset tomorrow. The sun will set at 6.37 p. m. By order of Maj. Blank, commanding”—Ex. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 “If I could paint you, friend, as you stand there, Guard of the goal, defensive, open-eyed, Watching the tortured bladder slide and glide Under the twinkling feet; arms bare, head bare, The breeze a-tremble through crow-tufts of hair; Red-brown in face, and ruddier having spied A wily foernan breaking from the side; Aware of him,—of all else unaware: If I could limn you, as you leap and fling Your weight against his passage, like a wall; Clutch him, and collar him, and rudely cling For one brief moment till he falls—you fall: My sketch would have what Art can never give— Sinew and breath and body; it would live.” Of all the sports and pastimes of the autumn, there can be little doubt but that football holds the first position in the hearts of the American public. The mighty crowds that gather to watch the big college games rival those other crowds that meet during the summer to cheer the heroes of professional baseball. But it is not from the colleges that football gains its greatest support. Each little Amer¬ ican town with a high school or academy of sufficient size maintains a gridiron squad, and it is the battles and struggles of these teams of young lads that make football a popular sport. There are few, if any games that can claim a more ancient origin than foot¬ ball. As far back as history goes, it was played in one form or another. The Greeks had a highly developed game with many rules governing its playing, just as is the case with modern football. The Romans knew the sport also, and when they first met the Teutonic tribes, they found that those barbarians were in the habit of kicking about the heads of their slain enemies out of revenge, and time formulated some rules for this sport. In Chester, England, where, for many centuries, football was played on every Shrove luesday, tradition has it that the original ball was the head of a Dane, who was captured and killed by a British champion. In America, previous to 1870, the game was of a mongrel nature, partaking OAK, LILY AND IVY. I 2 of the features of both the English “Rugby,” and the “Association” football. The modern American game, as distinguished from the old, was introduced into the United .States in 1875, by Harvard College.The following year, it took the popular fancy, and was adopted by all the colleges, and has since steadily developed. ' The modern game of football calls for brain as much as for brawn. The old-fashioned, plunging line-plays are fast disappearing, and now each movement of contending teams calls for perfect co-ordination of mind and body on the part of every player. The man trying to anticipate and forestall the trick of his op¬ ponent must needs be clever. No fogginess of intellect can endure long under the high tension of a modern football game, or if it does last, the whole team-work deteriorates, and has to rely on mere strength and force—a condition far from the real aim and purpose of the game. Football, moreover, should bring out true manliness in each player; if it merely brings out slugging propensities, the fault is in the player, not in the game. The Freshman mind can scarcely grasp the meaning of “Hades.” Miss R-b-s-n defined it as follows: “Hades is a place where the people that called themselves Hellenes lived.” Another remarked that “Hades is one of the famous Greek gods.” Latin A.

On the morning of Columbus Day, Oct. 12, 1910, the Milford eleven played Westboro, winning by the comfortable score of 18 to 0. First Period. Westboro kicked to Newcomb who advanced the ball to the 40-yard line. Then, by a succession of plays of which Callery was the star, the ball was brought to Westboro’s 5-yard line. Callery carried it through for a touchdown. The period ended with the ball on Milford’s 5-yard line. Score: 6 to 0. Second Period. Westboro caught Callery’s punt on the 15-yard line, but could not advance it. Westboro tried two end runs, but was blocked by Dalton. Westboro punted ; the ball was caught by Newcomb, and brought to the 40-yard line. Milford steadily advanced by plays in which Dalton, Hilton, Grayson, and Callery fea¬ tured, a forward pass for a 30-yard gain by the latter two being especially note¬ worthy. Line plunging brought the ball near Westboro’s goal and Grayson made the touchdown. Callery kicked the goal. The period ended with the ball Westboro’s in her own territory. Third Period. Callery’s kickoff went behind Westboro’s goal. The ball was brought to the 25-yard line. Westboro lost ground, and tried the onside kick. Milford got «4 OAK, LILY AND IVY the ball. Alter a Milford advance of 4 yards, Callery made a forward pass to Crockett for a 30-yard gain. Schooner made the touchdown, but it was not al¬ lowed, on account of alleged pushing. Westboro got the ball on downs and kicked, Newcomb getting the ball. Milford made a series of gains, in which Hilton featured. Schooner made a touchdown. On Westboro’s kick-off, Milford carried the ball to the 30-yard line. Large gains for Milford followed, the stars being Grayson, Callery, and Moloney. ' Lime was called. Score: 18 to 0. Fourth Period. Milford got the ball and carried it to Westboro’s 1-yard line, where West¬ boro recovered it. Westboro punted, but Newcomb carried the ball to her 20- yard line. After a forward pass and an end run failed to gain, Callery punted. Westboro, on getting the ball, punted also, and Newcomb carried it to the 50- yard line. Callery gained 25 yards on an end run.

Score: 18 to 0. Westboro’s lineup: C. Fales le, McNeil It, Burton lg, Mclntire c, Boland rg, Hogan rt, Pollard re, Gauthiar qb, Brady rhb, Robertson lhb, Leban fb.

The Natick Game ' The Milford eleven was defeated Oct. 15, on Town Park, by the low score of 5 to 0. The field conditions were bad. The visiting team was considerably heavier than ours, and used the extra weight to advantage. Hilton got the ball on the kick-off, and forward passes from Callery to Gray¬ son and to Crockett netted small gains. Newcomb recovered the pigskin on a fumble and after a line plunge by Callery and a tackle play by Hilton, Natick got the ball on downs. Natick lost the ball to Milford but broke up one of Mil¬ ford s forward passes, gaining the ball for a second time. In the second period, Milford recovered the ball on a fumble in which Hilton v as badly cut in the face. Callery kicked, and by a series of end runs and line plunges, Murray of Natick made a touchdown, but failed to kick the goal. In the third quarter, neither team scored. In the last quarter, several drop kicks by Natick failed. In this quarter occurred Milford s best chance to score. Two very pretty forward passes to (i] ayson and an end run by Callery brought the ball within a few yards of the goal. A forward pass failed and Natick, gaining possession of the ball punted to mid-field. Time was then called. Natick’s lineup: E. Stulce, Doherty le, Burns, Hudson It, Rourke lg, Garvey c, Mangor rg, D. Stulce rt, Casey re, W. Murray qb, Lee, Sheehan lhb, McGrath, Eldridge rhb, Sheehan fb. Referee, Lamb. Umpire, Mann of Natick. Field judge, Dunphy. Timers, (irayson, and McNamee. Linesman, Manion, Carey, and Farwell. Touchdown, Murray. I ime, four 8 minute periods. The Leominster Game On Oct. 19, Milford High lost to Leominster High at Leominster, 24—10, but achieved the distinction of scoring upon Leominster, which had been done by no other team in any previous game. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 5 In the first period, Milford was the first to score, forward passes and ex¬ cellent punting advancing the ball to the Leominster goal, where Dalton fell on an onside kick. Callery failed to kick the goal. Leominster’s touchdown came soon after, line rushing and bucking being the sole means of gaining ground which Leominster possessed. Jobes kicked the goal. In the second quarter, after several minutes of play, Corkam of Leominster ran the length of the field for a touchdown, although Umpire Hull’s whistle had sounded and the Milford boys had been told to stop play. The touchdown was al¬ lowed, despite the illegality,and the goal was kicked. A touchback was then made by Sullivan. A third touchdown was scored by Leominster this period, the goal be¬ ing kicked. In the last period, Milford outplayed her opponents in every department of the game. Grayson made a touchdown after running the whole length of the field, but the Leominster field judge would not allow it, as he said Grayson had gone off-side, but in the opinion of many of the spectators, Milford deserved the touchdown. Leominster scored the final touchdown, and Jobes kicked the goal. The Leominster lineup: Jobes le, Suhlke It, Houde lg, Smith c, Cram rg, Letters rt, Duval re, Corkam qb, Merriman lhb, Griffin rhb, Little fb. Referee, Bentley. Umpire, Principal Hull. Field judge, Walker. Timer, Principal Clarke. Linesmen, Stanard and Quirk. Time, two 10-minute and two 8-minute periods. The Hudson Game. Milford lost to Hudson, Oct. 22, 28—0, in a poorly-played game on the Hud¬ son grounds. Milford played in ill-luck and struck one of those slumps which are bound to come to every team sometime during the season. During the first period, Callery had his nose badly hurt and was taken from the game. During the absence of this valued player, three touchdowns were made by Hudson. During the rest of the game, ill luck continued to follow the Milford team, and scarcely one of our men came out untouched. A “free for all” interrupted the game at one time, but on the whole, Milford was fairly treated. The tables will be turned in the return game on our home grounds, if the hopes of our team are realized. The Game With St. Andrew ' s Guild of Grafton. The M. H. S. eleven defeated St. Andrew’s Guild of Grafton on Town Park, Oct. 26, 18—0. The game was an easy one and all the subs were given practise. The touchdowns were made by Callery,Grayson,and Newcomb,and Callery kicked all three goals. Several of the new plays were tried out in preparation for the Marlboro game. Another game was arranged with this team for Nov. 5. The Marlboro Game. On Saturday afternoon, Oct. 29, in the presence of a good-sized crowd, Milford High defeated her old rival, M arlboro, at football in one of the cleanest games ever witnessed on the Town Park. Both teams played with a snap and dash that showed they were at their best. Very little penalizing was done and the game was played in perfect harmony. First Period. Moloney ran Marlboro’s kick-off to the 30-yd. line. Schooner and Dalton gained eight yards, but Hilton lost on the next play. Moloney then gained 3 16 OAK, LILY AND IVY. yards on a line plunge. Schooner took Gallery’s forward pass, and gained 20 yards. Hilton carried another forward pass for the same distance. Hilton went through center for a touchdown. Gallery kicked the goal. Gallery sent the ball over Marlboro’s goal post on the kick-off. The ball was scrimmaged at the 20-yd. line. Marlboro fumbled and Hilton got the ball. Dalton gained 2 yards. Marlboro got the ball on downs, and gains amounting to 5 yards followed. Milford got the ball on clowns and Callery and Newcomb gained 8 yards. The ball was fumbled and Marlboro had it, gaining 10 yards on suc¬ ceeding plays. The period ended with the ball Marlboro’s on the 40-yd. line. Score : 6—0. Second Period. Hilton ran Marlboro’s kick-off to the 30-yd. line. Hilton lost on an end run. Milford kicked and the ball was Marlboro’s. An end run failing to gain ground, Marlboro kicked to Callery.

Marlboro failed to gain on line plays, and kicked to Callery. Grayson went around the end for 7 yards. The ball was fumbled by Dalton, and recovered by Marlboro. After some unsuccessful line plays, Marlboro tried a forward pass, which was caught by Callery. Grayson made a brilliant run of 50 yards after getting a forward pass, but stumbled 10 yards from the goal. Callery lost on an end run, and a forward pass to Newcomb failed. Marlboro broke up another forward pass and got the ball on downs. Marlboro punted the ball into a tree at the edge of the held where it stayed for several seconds, finally being caught by Dalton. Callery kicked to Marlboro, the ball going behind the goal. The period ended with the score 11—0. Third Period. Callery again kicked the ball over the goal. Marlboro gained 15 yards on a for¬ ward pass,succeeding this with a gain of 8 yards on a line play. Milford gained the ball on downs. Schooner, in two plays, gained 39 yards. Milford gained 10 more yards immediately after. They were then penalized 15 yards for Schooner’s hurdling. Callery punted, Marlboro getting the ball. Marlboro then made a succession of plays which resulted in small gains. A forward pass failed. Coombs broke up a tackle play. Marlboro kicked to Callery. Mil¬ ford made a forward pass which resulted in a 40-yd. gain for Milford. Score: 11 — 0 . $■ Fourth Period. Milford got the ball on Marlboro’s 20-yd. line. Milford tried line plays and the ball went to Marlboro on downs. Marlboro kicked to Callery who fum¬ bled, the ball going to Marlboro. Schooner caught Marlboro’s forward pass, and Grayson went around the end for 20 yards. Forward passes failed, and New¬ comb was tackled for a loss on an end run. Punting resulted in the ball’s going to Milford on Marlboro’s 40-yd. line. A forward pass succeeded, but a second one tailed, the ball going to Marlboro. Marlboro punted but Dalton blocked the kick, and the ball was Marlboro’s, on her own 1-yd. line. Period over. Score: 11 - 0 . Marlboro’s lineup : D. Manus re, Sanford rt, Lowerby rg, Hutch c, Fahey lg, C urran It, Day le, Bigelow qb, Gaucher rhb, Dalrymple lhb, Turner fb. Milford’s lineup, practically the same as in the other games of the season: Grayson le, Dalton It, bales lg, Coombs c, Mc.Cue rg, Moloney rt, Newcomb re, Sullivan qb, Schooner lhb, Hilton rhb, Callery fb. Umpire, L. Lynch. Referee, R. Lamb. Timers, Wm. Russel and Principal OAK, LILY AND IVY. E. R. Clarke. Linesmen, Manion, Ghiloni and Sweet. Time, four 10-minute quarters. Touchdowns, Hilton, Grayson. Goal, Callery. In this game, the team showed a marked improvement in play over that of previous games. The school is proud of its team, and win or lose, it is ready to stand back of it. The greatest improvement is in the line. It holds splendidly on all offensive plays. On defensive work, it rarely allows line plunges to break through to the secondary defense, while it is constantly breaking up end runs and trick plays. When a line holds as ours does, it gives the backs greater confidence and allows of snappier offensive play, for a yielding line cannot fail to discourage the backs and take the life out of their play. FROM OUR EXCHANCES B.TuAlveR. ‘II. In “Mount Saint Joseph Collegian,” the story of “John Phillip’s Trial” tells in a very interesting way how he overcame his great temptation. There are several good descriptions in the “High School Herald.” The author of “The Man of Color” in “The Heckling Graphic” clearly shows her knowledge of the condition of the negro. The stories in the October number of the “Aegis” from the Beverly High School are written in an entertaining style. “My Favorite Author” in the “Somerset Idea” expresses many good thoughts on why Longfellow stands first in the mind of the writer. “The Greylock Echo” of a Yellow Dog.” contains a very humorous story, entitled, “The Diary All those interested in athletics should read “An Uphill Fight” in the “Artisan.” SCHOOL NOTES. On Nov. 1, the school had the pleasure of hearing the first division of Rhetoricals, under the charge of Miss Inez Gay.

The Fifth Lotus Bud. It was towards evening when our yacht drew near to the shore and cast anchor. The sun had already set, and the fleeting, transient twilight of the tropics was already casting its soft shade over the land—a shade from which the placid, slowly moving Nile gleamed like a silver mirror, in contrast to the trembling yellow sands of the desert, far to the south. A ruined temple, set back from the shore and half hidden by a grove of palms, was but a dark mass in the gath¬ ering gloom, and gave no hint of its daylight beauty. So night gathered swiftly about us, and the stars appeared, gemming the sky with splendor. It was not until after dinner had been finished, however, and we had gathered on the comfortable deck, that we began to speak of the land about us. Some of its mystery must have crept into our blood, for our con¬ versation seemed to turn naturally to the days of old Egypt, when that country stood as a beacon light of civilization in a savage world. As we looked towards the shore and saw the dark, gloomy shape of the old temple, a thousand thoughts and questions about the old religion entered our minds. “Weren’t they the people who believed in reincarnation?” asked my cousin. Graham, the famous traveller, laughed quietly at the question, and then spoke. “Yes,” he said, “they did believe that we live not once, but many times, and sometimes 1 think they were almost right.” “What!” I exclaimed. “Do you mean to say you believe all that trash?” “Y ' es, in a way I do,” answered Graham. “It is rather difficult to explain”— here he paused. Our Egyptian sailors had started to hum a little song—a song that seemed to flow on, like the river Nile itself, in regular rising, falling tones. 6 OAK, LILY AND IVY. “There,” said Graham slowly, “is just what I mean. ' Those sailors know tlie secret of their land as well as did their ancestors, thousands of years ago. Just so long as men are born, the souls and the minds of other ages will live on.” He ceased speaking, and for a while we were silent. I listened to the song of the sailors, thinking all the time of Graham’s words. Could there be an actual, corporeal life after death—another term of years on earth? A long, slow curious thrill stole over me, and in a moment had gone. I was foolish to think of such things. When we spoke again, it was upon other subjects, and soon after, the circle broke up. 1 departed to my cabin, and was soon in bed. There was a barely per¬ ceptible movement of the yacht as the current flowed around it—a soothing, lull¬ ing movement that carried me irresistibly into a state of drowsiness. Soon I was asleep, and, sleeping, I dreamt a dream in which I lived another life, and spoke another tongue. Darkness, pierced by one clear beam of sunlight creeping across the wall! Darkness, and the crash of drums and cymbals, and the softer tone of harp and pentachord! Darkness, and then silence, broken, at last, by a single, deep, sonorous voice intoning the Chant of the Dead! 1 shuddered as I heard it, for I knew it was for me they were singing—sing¬ ing as though I were already dead. As I listened I thought of the happy days of my youth. I saw myself a child again, and a tall, stately woman bent over me, crooning a song as I drifted into slumber; I saw the boys playing in the bright, hot sun ; and I saw the great crocodiles basking in the mud and sand by the river. And then, at last, I lived again my solitary defiance of a multitude, my capture, and the long, dreary days of my imprisonment—now darkness, a voice, and the terrible Chant of the Dead. ' The sounds died away into silence, and the beam of sunlight departed. I looked up towards the roof, hours later it seemed, and saw a piece of the wall above me move back, disclosing a window. Then a torch appeared and after that, a man’s face—the face of my enemy. For a moment he looked at me, standing there in the corner, still clothed in my priestly garments of linen. Then he laughed, and I trembled with rage as I heard that harsh, mocking note so familiar to me. “At the seventh hour you die,” he said. “We shall open the gates, and you will feel the water creep up around you, minute by minute, hour by hour, and I shall stand here and gloat over you as your face turns up at the last moment, seeking to avoid the death that you can never escape. Later, when they cast your body to the crocodiles, 1 shall laugh again.” There was nothing for me to say, so I kept silence; and finally, with a last mocking smile, he withdrew the torch, and the rock slid into place again. All was still as death now. Death was around me, waiting in the awful silence, flinging out its arms to grasp me. Death in the open I could face; but death in OAK, LILY AND IVY. 7 that darkness by slow, unspeakable torture—I shuddered as I thought of it. So I waited for an eternity with ears unnaturally alert to catch the slightest noise that should tell me of my coming fate—but I heard nothing. Ah! but what was that murmur that had seemed a part of the darkness and silence? With a slow, monotonous regularity it continued, minute by minute. I felt something at my feet ; I stooped and put my hand to the floor. There was water on it! I cried out to all the gods of the earth and the sky to save me; and only the murmur of falling water answered me. It was at my ankles now; soon it would be at my knees, and then—but I did not dare to follow the thought farther. I ceased my cries and waited for the end. Inch by inch the water was rising, and I felt I should not have to wait long. Then, out of the horror, a sweet, feminine voice spoke at my side, and each word thrilled through my soul with boundless joy. “The fifth lotus bud from the corner!” it said. “Hurry! I shall be near the camels, waiting for you. We must flee to the desert.” I looked around me, but I was alone. Perhaps the voice was but a delusion of my agonized mind. Yet obedient to it, I felt along the wall until I reached the corner. True enough, there were projections, but whether they were really lotus buds I did not know. I counted until I had reached the fifth one. I pressed it. It yielded. Nothing happened. Once again I exerted my strength against it, and again it yielded. Again nothing happened. I hurried back to the corner, determined to count on the other side. I felt for the wall—but the wall had vanished. I stumbled on until I reached a stairway. I mounted it, and my way was barred by another wall of rock. I pressed against it, and it swung back; I was outside the temple, in the moonlight, and out among the palms were the camels, waiting. As I approached them, I saw that someone stood there watching me, and as I drew still nearer, I heard the same, sweet, feminine voice saying once more, “Come, we must hurry!” Again that strange, joyous thrill shot through me. So we mounted, and turning our backs to the temple and the Great Hall of Columns, we set out towards the desert which lay before us in the silver moonlight, vague, mysterious, solemn. With their queer, loping stride, the camels carried us on, and now, as the moon shone upon us, I could see my companion clearly. She wore a long, full robe of linen. Her hair, which waved loosely back over her ears, was very dark, even in the clear light around us. Her eyes and her face—but there I stop. To some the Gods give power to weave words into music, power to describe beauty so that it shall live in the hearts of men forever; but I was not of these. Is it not enough for me to say that each time she looked at me there was a new joy in life? I had never seen her in the crowds which were wont to come to the temple, and I ventured to ask her why she had cared to save me, and how I had heard her voice, there in my prison. A smile was my only answer. Behind us, the temple sank down below the edge of the world, and before us was nothing but a vast, seemingly endless expanse of sand. The moon rose almost to the zenith, and then descended towards the west. After a while, it set, and the s OAK, LILY AND IVY. desert lay in darkness—a darkness through which we still pressed forward. The sun rose at last, but we did not dare to stop and rest during the heat of the day, lest pursuers should overtake us. Then, too, there was little water, but by nightfall, my companion told me, we should reach a well if we hastened on. She spoke truly, for it was very late in the day when we saw, looming before us, the group of trees which told of an oasis near at hand. Strangely, though, they were withered and the leaves hung limp and dry. I jumped from my camel and rushed ahead in frantic haste. The well was dry! Feverishly I clawed and dug at the sand which was still damp, but my efforts were unavailing. There was no water to be had anywhere. I turned to my companion with despair in my eyes, and was answered with a smile of encouragement. “Three days distant, there is another well,” she said. “We must go there.” It was all we could do. Behind us were my enemies; before us was a hope, at least. .So we camped near the old well, and rested, for we realized something of the ordeal before us. That night a dreadful thing occurred. I had been sleeping, but I awoke near midnight, and looked towards my companion. She was standing near me, looking to the north. I must have made some noise as I rose, for she turned towards me, and her eyes lighted up. “Look,” she said, pointing. Then I, too, gazed toward the north, and saw a wonderful sight. The sky was afire, pale bars and flickering flames of light rising and falling with startling rapidity. Some¬ times, spots and lines of green and crimson showed themselves in awful grandeur against the pale background; sometimes, they darted, like fiery arrows, up almost to the zenith; and sometimes, they fell in long ranks and marched across the sky, like a mighty phalanx. At last, they faded away, save that near the horizon the sky continued in a state of incessant quivering. I touched my companion. “It is Osiris, calling us home to the Courts of the Sun,” I said, “and we must go. Of what use is our flight?” She looked at me from her calm dark eyes of sorrow, and I felt ashamed of my words. Then she told me, almost as a mother would tell her child, of the little time that would pass before we should reach her home. She told me of the life they lived each year, until I could see, in my mind, the houses, and the laughing, playing children, the cataract dancing and leaping in the sunlight, and the women, singing as they worked around their homes. I saw myself in such a place, living to a ripe old age, with such a wife as she who was beside me; and suddenly, the desert that was to take me there seemed kind and merciful. Another day came and another night; and still we had not reached the second well. In the hot, fierce sunlight, we saw the mirage grow into being. Cities loomed before us, with their pyramids and temples, their palms and shaded homes— only to vanish again, leaving always the hot, shifting sands of the desert. Yet another day and another night we pressed on, with parched and burning lips; and always when hope seemed about to vanish, a look at my calm and confident guide would give me new courage and new life. So the third day and the last dawned—the day of life or death—and the fiery, bloody sun rose from the edge of the fiery, bloody sands. On and on we OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 pressed through the hot hours of the morning, straight to the south, and at mid¬ day, far off in the distance, I saw a clump of trees. For a time I said nothing, fearing lest it should be the mirage again, but it remained in my sight. It was the well at last. On and on we hurried, and the cool palms seemed to call us. I looked at my guardian comrade, and she smiled faintly as she saw the gratitude in my eyes, but she said nothing. .Soon we had reached the little patch of vegetation around the well, and prepared to dismount. As I stood there, deliverance at hand, I seemed to feel the accumulated strain of the last few days overwhelming me; I wavered and trembled, and saw the sands come rushing up to meet me,—and then rest. When next I opened my eyes, it was near evening, for the trees cast long, gi¬ gantic shadows towards the east. Somebody knelt beside me, offering me water. I drank it, and then looked up at the face above me. “Is it death, O my Goddess?” I asked her. She uttered no word, no sound of reply, but put her arms around me, and there, surrounded by the cruel, unmerciful desert, I saw the miracle of love grow into being in deep, dark eyes. Sense and realization were fast fading away, but through the coming darkness, I saw her face near mine, the waving hair, the star-like eyes, and I heard her whisper, that last whisper of farewell—and in the ineffable sweetness of that moment, I think I must have died, for the blackness and despair of death and the awful coming ages of eternity swept over me, and I knew no more. The yacht moved gently to and fro at its moorings, and the morning sun¬ light filled my cabin. The sailors were singing a cheerful little song as they worked, but it was with a feeling of weariness and fatigue that I rose and went on deck. No one else of our party had risen except Graham, who now came forward to greet me. “I think somebody must have had a few nightmares last night by the looks of your face,” he said. “You must have seen a ghost at the very least.” Somehow his pleasantries jarred upon me, but I smiled faintly. Well, to tell the truth,” I said, “I didn’t sleep very well. I’m hoping for better luck to¬ night, though. And by the way, Frank, I’m going to take a look at that old temple over there. Want to come?” “No, I think not,” he answered. “Be sure and come back for breakfast.” I called a couple of the sailors, and we soon had a boat over the side of the yacht and headed for the shore. After we had landed, a very few minutes’ walk sufficed to take us to the temple. It was the temple of my dreams, but since that far-off time, it had been beaten by the storms of forty centuries. Before me stood the Great Hall of Columns, ruined, but still maintaining in its desolation some remnant of its ancient splendor. A portion of the wall had fallen in, and over it I clambered into what must have once been a separate room. It was ornately decorated with some crude form of relief. Absently, I went to the corner farthest from the hall and counted—one, IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. two, three, four, five—and then pressed against the projection beneath my hand. It yielded to my touch; that was all. It was mere craziness to he there, moping around in an old temple that I had never seen before. What was a mere dream, that it should change me so? Yet, as I lived again its scenes, I realized that for me, life would be forever different. I went out among the palms where I could see southward into the desert. Then I turned and looked back to the ship, floating placidly on the brilliant surface of the Nile. A faint wisp of smoke curled above it, and the sun, touching some bit of polished brass, shot a dazzling gleam towards me. The men whom I had brought with me had ceased their chatter, and doubtless lay dozing in the cool shade of the columned hall. An insect buzzed past and was gone. It was very, very quiet. bar away to the south, the white sands shone fiercely, and the distant horizon line danced strangely as the heat waves rose from the desert, quivering and trem¬ bling. W as it merely a trick of my eyes, or could I really see two camels mov¬ ing with their long, ungainly stride straight into the heart of the desert, bearing their riders into the oblivion which the desert always has for those who enter and do not leave? Days of love and days of madness, under the skies of old Egypt_ and then Death ! Somehow, it all seemed very lonesome, there in the shade and silence of the old temple. Fred D. Harrington, ’ll. An Aerial Advantage. Mansfield Webb stood silently, listening to the gentle purr of his engine and patting the taut silk planes of his Model “F” biplane. The culmination of years of untiring effort, the biplane stood for all that was worth living for him. Absorbed in thought, he recalled the day, some years ago, when the great twenty- five thousand dollar prize had been offered by the American Aviation Society to the man who should first fiy from coast to coast, Boston to San Francisco. The announcement, coming as it did, when his first machine was almost finished and he was desperately in need of funds to capitalize his invention and launch it on the market seemed a God-given chance for him to prove his mettle. And he veil remembered the day of the start when thousands of people, some encouraging, some jeering at him for attempting to compete with those who had proven their prowess in the air, gathered to watch the start of the race. A mere boy he had been, but bent, life and soul, towards making his invention a success. Could he ever lorget the ill-concealed laughter of the crowd and the well-meant but patron¬ izing remarks of the older aviators when one of the suspension rods holding his gyroscopic current equalizer gave way not twenty feet from the ground on his first start. I he delicate mechanism had been broken by the sudden contact with the ground and had necessitated seven precious days and nights of hard work to OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 fit it for use again. At this time, melancholy, and head over heels in debt, he had wild ideas of leaving it all, concealing his identity, and taking the first steamer for South America, but his sober thoughts told him that this would be but a con¬ fession of inability to the skeptical public and a confession of his own defeat. By dogged persistence he had succeeded in fitting his plane for a flight, one week from the time of his first disastrous attempt. The crowd had cheered him for his resolution, and ’midst a hubub of cries, he had started. The rest was now ancient history. His arrival in San Francisco, after successfully combatting the cross currents and perilous gales of the Rocky Mountains, had started in motion the great ovation which continued for weeks and culminated in his receiving the great prize, for which he had so earnestly striven. The rest had been easy sailing. In natural sequence had followed his system of air-ship stations and his receival of the government mail contract from coast to coast and to all the great cities; his perfection of wireless communication from airships to land and his passenger service to all parts of America. Of a sudden, his mind wandered, and he thought of the girl who had stood not far from the place of his first flight and had waved encouragement to him as he went up. Her sincere sympathy in his mortification had furnished him initiative to try again, and he was happy in the thought that she had been there to wave him off on his second flight. He had known the girl slightly, but he had been so busy since in perfecting his different models, that two years had elapsed without his even seeing her. He pulled himself together with a start and glanced at his watch. “By Jove, I’m late,” he exclaimed. “I will have to make time to get to Buffalo at 12 a. m. “Joe,” he called to his assistant, “give me the weather reports for east of the Mississippi. Am off for Buffalo about that consolidation deal. Expect to get home by six, but if I am not here, get that ‘ Tourist No. 2’ ready for a trip to New Rochelle in it to get a party of six. You will find the order on the file on the left hand corner of my desk. I’m off.” Joe Bronson smiled as he watched Webb fly away in the direction of Buffalo, well knowing that nothing would prevent him from returning for business. Indeed, Mansfield’s constant application to busi¬ ness was a source of continual worry to him, for he saw that the strain of over-ex¬ ertion along the same line was beginning to have its effects. Mansfield Webb was going at the rate of one hundred and twenty miles, straight as an arrow, towards Buffalo, when far below, a little speck in the glisten¬ ing panorama of country scenery attracted his eye. He lowered the planes and gliding downward toward the object which had aattracted his attention, perceived ii to be an automobile, apparently broken down, around which four men and a lady were clustered. As he drew nearer, the auto party saw him and regarded him curiousl y as he alighted fifty yards from them. “Hello, Mansfield,” shouted one of the men and the rest repeated the cry. “What’s the matter with you all now?” was Mansfield’s response to his fellow club members grouped around the car. “My batteries are on the bum, and my magneto is short-circuited,” gloomily answered Arthur Mansdowne. 12 OAK, LILY AND IVY. fust then, Webb’s eyes fell on the girl, whom he noticed was looking at him with a gleam of recognition in her eyes. ‘Why, Miss Mansdowne!” he cried, looking into the eyes of the girl whom he had called to mind but a short time ago. “It certainly is. How do you do, Mr. Webb?” offering him her hand. “My last remembrance of you is ascending in the air, and now, two years later, you sud¬ denly appear from the heavens. Can this be all one flight?” And both she and Webb laughed. But she suddenly grew more serious and in response to his questions, told him that she had been on her way to catch the San Francisco Express, when the car had broken down. And now it is gone and I cannot catch it,” she concluded, “and you have no idea how much it meant to me.” “Yes,” interrupted one of the men, “it left Utica Station twenty minutes ago.” An idea came to Webb and he was quick to voice it. “I am on my way to Buffalo, and you can catch the train there. I have but one extra seat or I could take your brother along.” “But we were going only to the station, Mansfield,” said Mansdowne, “so it makes no difference to us. Go ahead, sis,” to his sister. Virginia Mansdowne gasped at the thought, but as she saw it was a case of go or not go, and that there was no time to waste, she quickly accepted. Soon they were seated in the plane and gliding rapidly from the scene of the breakdown. “I fear I have kept you from business,” anxiously inquired the girl in a well- modulated voice with a delightful southern accent. “I shall be well compensated,” responded her companion. “For a long time I have wished I might see you again to tell you that your encouragement helped me to stand the jeers of the others on that first flight.” Virginia blushed at her companion’s words, but turned them off with a light jest. “Would you like to see our ‘road maps?’ ” said Mansfield, handing her the weather reports. “I certainly would,” the girl answered, taking the closely-printed sheets which Mansfield passed her. While Virginia was reading the reports, Mansfield was able to view her features, more clearly, as she had removed her veil in order to read the fine print. Her face was well formed, with beautifully-set features, clear gray eyes, a small mouth and chin, and eye-lashes which matched her chestnut-colored hair. Her appearance, he reflected, was much the same as he remembered, although she had grown from a girl to a woman. He was aroused from his reverie by the sight of great black clouds steadily enveloping them in all directions. Soon rain commenced to fall, but Virginia Mansdowne forebore asking her companion any needless questions. Mansfield, seeing her slightly troubled countenance, assured her that they would soon be out of danger, adding that he intended shooting down towards the earth to escape the storm center which was rapidly bearing upon them. OAK, LILY AND IVY. r 3 He lowered the planes for that purpose and after they had shot down for about fifteen seconds he attempted to bring the planes to a horizontal position once more. To the unspeakable horror of Mansfield, the lever controlling the plane re¬ fused to work and the aeroplane continued to descend rapidly. His face blanched, but he jammed the lever viciously. “Hold on tightly,” he shouted to the girl, who had uttered a little cry as she realized their plight. Her tightly clenched hands and the look of horror nerved him to desperation. Blow upon blow he rained upon the obstinate lever, but it would not move an inch. Idle machine struck with a terrible crash directly upon a railroad track, wreck¬ ing both planes. Miss Mansdowne was rendered unconscious by a blow from a falling bar, and Webb was hurled some distance away. Webb sprang up, cut and bruised fearfully, but fully alive to the dangers of their position. A shrill whistle and a gradually deepening roar down the track set him to working desperately. Whipping out his knife, he cut the leather belts which held Virginia to her seat in the wrecked machine and pushed her to one side of the track. He saw the headlight of the on-coming engine and tried to jump, but his legs were struck by the cow-catcher and he lost consciousness. Three days later, he regained consciousness in a hospital ward. Near him sat Virginia Mansdowne. Dimly, he began to put together the pieces which his refractory memory supplied. “Virginia, I came mighty near landing you in the San Francisco Limited, after all,” he said, with a feeble attempt at witticism. Virginia started suddenly at the sound of his voice. “I reckon you made up for it, Mansfield,” she said gently. Mansfield closed his eyes with a sigh of content as he realized the wealth of tenderness in her voice. Earle S. Draper, ’ll. - +« Merely a Printer ' s Error. The following is from the files of a local newspaper: WANTED: A girl for general housework; no washing; must be sound and kind, stand without hitching and safe for a lady or child to drive. Apply to -, Hopedale. H OAK, LILY AND IVY. The purpose of this editorial is to offer a few words in defence and ex¬ planation of the so-called “grind,” who is misunderstood and jeered at in prac¬ tically every school of the land. Doubtless, none of us will become an earnest student because of this article, and probably no student will leave his world of books because we deprecate too close application to mere written lessons, but we do believe that no one will fail to see that at the bottom, the patient, earnest plod¬ der has in him the elements that make for success in life. In every school, there exists a class of pupils who look down upon study as something vulgar and beneath their notice. It is they whose eyes seem dull and emotionless during a recitation, but are ever bright and active in the crowded, garish streets; and it is they in whose opinion, to say of a person that he is a “grind” expresses the height of contempt. They know little of what they speak. At night, when these who think themselves above study are roaming about or standing and joking with one another, the “grind” is just beginning his work. Hour after hour he sits and toils at his desk, in a silence broken only by the tick¬ ing of the clock and the sound of his pen. The lights in the neighboring houses disappear, one by one; passers-by become less numerous, and finally the street is deserted and quiet; but the student must still work on. The steady, brilliant glare of the lamp is ever reflected from the paper or book before him into his tired eyes; and often, in the difficult and torturing mazes of some obscure pas¬ sage in Latin, or French, or English, slumber will overtake him, and for a few minutes his eyes will remain closed. Vet, when he wakes, he will struggle on to the completion of the task before him. The hours strike—ten, eleven, twelve, and on into the morning—and at last his task is done. That toiling, plodding worker is he at whom the idlers sneer. Oftentimes, the “grind” does not like study. His dislike to it may be as strong as that of the habitual idler, but it is not evident in the same way. When he hears his teachers give out lessons that will take seven hours—which is no exaggerated figure—to learn perfectly, he does not view the prospect with de¬ light. If he were to do as his feelings direct, he would toss aside his books, en¬ joy an afternoon of sport, study an hour or so in the evening, and retire at a reasonable time, placing his trust in luck for success in the recitations of the coming day. But the “grind,” and here is where he differs from all his fellows, OAK, LILY AND IVY. 5 desires to achieve progress and perfection, and to obtain these results he is will¬ ing to work, and work hard. In the burning of midnight oil he finds no pleas¬ ure, but in the joy of accomplishment that follows, the hours of work shrink into insignificance. As was said at the beginning, no one expects that all pupils in a school are going to be “grinds;” some are so gifted that lessons are a matter of minutes to them, rather than of hours; and others are so lazy and careless that for them to produce any work at all is little short of a marvel. Nevertheless, sneering and ridiculing the plodding, industrious student is reprehensible, and to be avoided at all times. The winter sun has set behind the gray, snow-laden clouds, and dusky shadows gather in the room. We can almost see them creep along the floor, and gather in the corners, as though whispering to one another. We draw closer to the fire—you and I—and there we sit in silence, alone with our thoughts and the spirit of Christmas. The glow from the grate does not banish shadow; it only softens it, and, resting on our features, obliterates all coarseness and weakness. As we sit there, some strange change of thought comes upon us. All the little troubles of life—the minor things, the petty annoyances—leave us, giving way to a new glow of kindliness toward all the world. It is the Christmas spirit, which should be not only of Christmas but of all the year. Ours, however, is the kindliness of optimism. We are young—you and 1—and have known the joy of Christmas but a few times, while before us rise what seem innumerable years, in which we shall work out our destiny and do the work which life has in store for us. We look forward to it all with the boundless hope of youth, feeling that each coming Christmas will be one of greater joy and greater suc¬ cess. We can well afford to be pleased with life. There is another fireside, though, and another generation sits beside it. An old man, with wrinkled brow and hair like snow, watches the slowing coals on the eve of what may be his final Christmas. He sees no vision of a happy future, like you and I ; the pictures he sees are the sad, sad pictures of memory—the faces of friends long since dead, and the pleasures and sorrows of all his life. His is the heart bowed down with grief, yet out of it comes a wish for the happi¬ ness of all humanity on the birthday of the Saviour. And so we know and realize, while we sit beside the fire, in the evening dusk, that from countless other firesides comes a repetition of your wish and my wish: That in all the world, this may be a merry and a happy Christmas—a Christmas into which joy alone may enter.

The Orchestra On November 21, the Milford High School Orchestra met and chose John Keane, ’12, as its leader. This year there are eight members, of whom three have already been in the orchestra for a year or more: Lillian Moloney, piano; Ralph Luce and Paul Bragg, flutes; Ralph Newcomb, cornet; and John Keane, Bruce Warfield, Esther Kalter and Joseph Kane, violins. When the orchestra was first organized, several years ago, there were only four members; three violinists and a pianist. The growth which has occurred since then, while logical, is none the less praiseworthy, and speaks well for the musical talent of the school. Of course, no one expects to hear from our orchestra the finished performances that a band of experienced musicians can give, but, considering the few rehearsals it has, no one can deny that the work of the orchestra is decidedly creditable. Feeling that the school in general take as much interest in the orchestra as do its members, the editors have had a picture taken of it, which appears in this issue. Rhetoricals. During the past month, rhetoricals have been continued, all of the speakers doing creditable work. On Nov. 8, Miss Nichols’ division spoke. The program was: “A Boy Hero,” May Cameron; “The Burial of Sir John Moore,” John Allen; “Intensely Utter,” Helen Bragg; “Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address,” Chester Brown; “In Memory of Franklin,” Walter Bailey; The Death of the Doctor,” Harriet Burgevine; “A Bit of Newspaper Verse,” Olive Bishop; “Fox’s Eulogy of Washington,” John Mahoney; “The Independence Bell,” Mary Brown.

Se eial days before the game, a mass meeting of the students was held in the Assembly hall, at which Moloney, ’ll, and Draper, ’ll, were chosen as cheer leaders for the eventful afternoon. School yells and songs were practised and the enthusiasm of the students was aroused. ()n Saturday afternoon, the I own Park gridiron was converted into a minia¬ ture battlefield by the followers of each team. On the north side of the field stood the Milford cheering section, who gave the team loyal support during the contest. On the south side was the Hudson section. On the kick-off, Gallery kicked beyond his opponent’s goal posts, as is his habit. the Hudson team was rather perplexed, and Grayson ran down and dropped upon the ball for a touchdown. It was not allowed, however, owing to Referee Lamb blowing his whistle too soon. After this, for a long time, the ball v as kept in the middle of the field, until Milford, after making an exchange of punts began the march to the Hudson goal. I he ball was rushed from Miltord s 30-yard line to Hudson’s 35-yard line by line plunges. At this point Milford was held for two downs, and Callery, standing on the 40-yard line, executed a marvelous drop kick clean over the goal .posts at a height of twenty-five feet. Soon after, Milford scored a safety. During the second quarter, neither team endangered the other’s goal In the third period, Hudson showed more fight, Lapointe seeming to gain at will. During this quarter, Milford scored another safety. On the next kick-off, Hudson steadily brought the ball to Milford’s one-yard line, through a series of plays in which Lapointe starred. Here Milford threw back a center rush for a loss of two yards, making it Milford’s ball with one minute to play. During the game, ( oach I )uffy had rushed on the field and had tried side-line coaching, for which he had been repeatedly warned by the referee. Now, excited by the fact that Hudson had been held one yard from the goal, he took the team off, claim¬ ing that one of his players had been assaulted by a Milford rooter. Both the referee and the Hudson umpire saw no such action, nor could Duffy point out the assailant when requested to do so. Further, Coach Duffy claimed that the action happened several minutes, before the final play, yet he waited until Hud¬ son was repulsed before registering any complaint. It was to all appearances a OAK, LILY AND IVY. l 9 case of unsportsmanlike quitting on Coach Duffy’s part. The Hudson team itself did not want to go. At 7.30 a parade in celebration of Milford’s victory left Lincoln Sq. and pa¬ raded the business thoroughfares of the town. Capt. Dalton, escorted by cheer leaders Moloney and Draper, headed the parade, followed by the “band” and the students. Torches and red fire lighted the line of march. Principal Clarke’s house was visited, where we were given a speech which was roundly cheered. A bonfire was lighted on Town Park, Mr. Clarke applying the match. The team was cheered, and songs were sung until the fire died down, when the team and the students proceeded to Elks’ hall, where, through the hospitality of the Elks, they had been invited to assemble and hold a reception for the team. Remarks were heard from the School Committee, Principal Clarke, Coach Cenedella, the members of the team, and others. On the whole, the game showed what team work can do in a football game, and in the same way, the cheering brought out the fact that organized cheering pays. It will be a good lesson for us in our coming spring baseball games. If a game is worth winning, it is worth the effort of every student to help the team win. The members of Milford High School, from Mr. Clarke down to the smallest Freshman were bent on winning the Hudson game, if it were possible to win it by any fair means, and we won it. Bring that same intensity of desire to every game this spring, and Milford will have an unbeaten team. THE SEASON’S SCORES. Oct. 1. Milford—11, Wellesley—2, at Wellesley. Oct. 5.

FROM OUR —Few Exchanges have come in yet, but we welcome those which have, and hope to receive many more. The Exchange Column is surely an important feature in every high school paper, for it is through the honest and disinterested criticism of outsiders that each board of editors learns to improve its paper. —The Aegis, Beverly, Mass., is so well edited that little criticism can be found with it. But where are your cuts? Surely they would add a good deal to your paper. —Your paper is well arranged, Hedding Graphic, Abingdon, Illinois, but if the printing were larger it could be more easily read. —The College Signal from the Massachusetts Agricultural College, and the Tufts Weekly are received each week. These papers will probably be of interest to those who desire to attend one of these colleges. —Orange and Black, Marlboro, Mass., has introduced the novel and praise¬ worthy idea of dedicating its first number to the faculty. —In publishing the Alumni Notes, the Distaff has a style quite different from most papers, but which seems very suitable to this one. —In the Premier, a page is devoted to school yells. Such a plan offers a good opportunity to the enthusiastic Freshman to exercise his memory and his lungs at the same time. —The November number of the Mt. St. Joseph Collegian, Baltimore, Md., contains a vigorous and well-written Exchange Column, which, while chary of praise, contains much friendly criticism. That is what every paper needs.
