Midway between the earth and the sky, among the dull gray clouds, Mas gathered a group of spirits over whose presence hovered a gloom, thick and almost impenetrable. There was not a movement hut spoke eloquently of disappointment and des¬ pair. No spirit seemed to want to express himself, yet each seemed waiting for the other to speak. When the silence became almost unendurable, there rose from the gloom the form of the tallest of the whole company. He hesitated a moment, then raised his head and spoke—spoke in a tone which at once commanded re¬ spectful attention. “Why sit we here idle and watch man work out his own destruction without even exerting the least influence to help the right? Why, I say, do we sit here vhen on this night, of all nights, we should he up and doing, distributing cheer and en¬ couragement among men? What—will ye still sit with faces of despair, vhen ye all know your duty? Is it not in your power to make a change e en in this la. t moment? Come! let us devise some way by which we can do oui dut and cheer and happiness to those who most deserve it- For an instant there was silence among the company- Then as if by a com¬ mon consent, the company drew into a compact mass and from time to time murmurs of dissension and then of satisfaction made their vay out to tin mull .. particles which slowly formed within the dull, gray cloud, and then fell to eart i s OAK, LILY AND IVY with the messages which they received. Slowly and silently the members dis¬ appeared into the darkness. ' l ' ' l ' There was a stir within the camp at Valley Forge that winter night. Great excitement prevailed among the soldiers. Occasionally could be heard a short, whispered word from one man to another. Signs of activity began to be apparent but no one knew exactly what had happened, although some one had said that a stranger had gained admittance to their chief, their beloved Washington. This stranger had appeared very unexpectedly and bore very important news. Through the camp the questions flew, “Who is he?” “What news does he bear?” Like a flash every one became excited, but all voices were stilled at the ap¬ pearance of the officers, who commanded that several companies be made ready for a march. Quickly and with as little noise as possible, the ranks were formed and the march began. Far ahead, as the soldiers moved through the snow, they could see the outline of their general and by his side, the stranger, tall and straight. On and on they moved silently but wonderingly, until thin and faint through the night came the sound of music, like unto no music that ever was on land or sea. Quickly the stranger stepped forward, and for a second, before the eyes of those soldiers, appeared a dull gray cloud, like those that roll in from the sea. Floating across the ranks but very faintly came the words, “Everything is ready; the Hessians have had plenty to eat and drink today and are unprepared for an attack.” Even as the words came, the cloud and the stranger disappeared, and be¬ fore them lay the Delaware and in the distance to the right could be seen the glow in the heavens of the fires of the mercenaries. ;|c ;Jc if: With a sudden gripping at his heart, an officer within one of the cheery rooms of the Trenton garrison thought he heard the sound of men walking on the snow outside. Suddenly a shot was heard and then the sound of a stampede of men —men fleeing for their lives- Victory was Washington’s! and up among the dull, gray clouds, midway between the earth and sky, was gathered a company, no longer gloomy; a company over which rested a consciousness of having done its duty and given aid to the right. M. E. H., T 2 . OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 After the Test. They danced upon the window pane, Those Figures right and wrong; They clustered on the weather-vane And sang a tiresome song. Their Legs they placed in Broken Lines, These Lines with might were flung, O O’ And as they fished in vacant minds This was the song they su ng: “We Angle for a reason, To cheat it would be treason. It should be Plane To those who’re sane That cheating’s out of season.” Their lunch they ate And ’twas my fate, As they approached the Limit, To see one die From eating Pi Because the Arcs were in it. They called him by Proportion, And they acted pretty Mean When they sectored all his portion And inscribed on him “Scalene.” They took off all the Radii, They pulled at every joint, Then one tried to ex-Postulate, But they could not see the Point. As they Circled round his Figure Their actions grew more Base ' Phe Major Arc commanded That they Square his Symboled face. Linus Jones, ’12. This summer brought many changes in the school system of Milford, chief among them the change in principalship of the high school. It was with the keenest regret that the town received the news of the resignation of Mr. Edward R. Clarke who, in his three years of service here, brought the school to a level of merit never before attained, and who, by his vigorous manliness and personal magnetism won great popularity, and the lasting esteem of every pupil in the school. To him the pupils of the Milford High School extend the hope of great success in his work in Leominster High school. To his successor, Dr. Geo. Hermann Derry, they extend the heartiest greeting and welcome. Dr. Derry comes well equipped to take up the work of the principalship. Long preparation in some of the best schools in America, and extensive study in foreign universities have well fitted him for the exacting duties of the position. With this, the first number of the twenty-eighth volume, the Oak, Lily and Ivy is placed once more before the alumni and pupils of the Milford High school. Annually for nearly thirty years, the paper has passed into the care of a new board of editors, who, in turn, have accepted the two-fold task—the upholding of the standard of former years, and the further development of the paper in literary merit. The present editors hope to produce a paper worthy of the school. To do it, they must have the unwavering support of the entire student body in subscriptions and manuscripts; they must feel that every pupil is willing to do hi§ part to make the Oak, Lily and Ivy the best paper in the state. Expression of loyalty can come most strongly in the abundance of matter sent in for publication. Pupils, this is y our paper; it is conducted for you and by you! Show that abundant school-spirit, of which the school is so proud, by financial, material and literary support. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 Now that the football season has begun we naturally begin to consider the chances of the team, to count the veterans still with us, and to discuss the merits and faults of the new members. We are facing a year which gives promise of being very successful for many of the old men have returned, including McCue, (Capt.), Fales, Howard, J. Duggan, E- Duggan, G. Grayson, Hilton, Coombs, Newcomb and Carey. The new material, too, looks very promising. Under the discipline of such a coach as Fred Cenedella the team may confidently be expected to be so well manned and trained that all games must be ours. The schedule, arranged by Manager Quirk, is a splendid one. It reads as follows: Sept. 30, Needham There Oct. 4, Pawtucket There Oct. 12, a. m., South Framingham Here Oct. 14, Natick There Oct. 21, Marlboro There Oct. 28, Natick Here Nov. 1, Westboro Here Nov- 4, Hudson Undecided Nov. 7, Leominster Here Nov. 11, Marlboro Here Nov. 15, Leominster There Nov. 18, Open Nov. 22, South Framingham There Nov. 25, Woonsocket Here Nov. 30, a. m., Alumni, pending Consistent team work will secure our victories, but team work must be re¬ inforced by the enthusiasm of the entire school. The team needs steady and rous¬ ing cheering under a competent cheer-leader. Season tickets are now for sale and may be purchased from James Quirk or Allen Kennedy. It is hoped that a large number may be sold this year. At a meeting of the Athletic Association Sept. 15, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President and treasurer, Dr. Derry; vice-president, Ernest Hilton; secretary, Miss M. Williams, ’12. The members of the Executive Committee are: R. Newcomb, ’12, L. Jones,’ ’12, R. Howard, ’13- A very inter¬ esting debate was held before the last two named were elected. On Oct. 5, John F- Keane and William F. Welch were elected cheer-leaders. A league called the Midland Interscholastic League was formed recently. Mil¬ ford, Natick, South Framingham, Marlboro, Hudson and Westboro high schools form this league. A meeting of the principals of these schools took place in South Framingham Sept. 30 and it was voted to pay one half ol the annual cues of $5 at that time. Of this resulting amount $5 was appropriated to be expended by the secretary in purchasing a pennant as a permanent trophy for the chain- OAK, LILY AND IVY. pion school of the league. The colors for the league are green and gold and the pennant is to be inscribed in the following manner: Midland Interscholastic League Football Championship 1911 Won by -High School. A cup was also offered by The Evenings News on the conditions that it shall rest at the close of the year in the building of the champion team until the subse¬ quent season and that the cup is to become the property of the school winning it three times. The following is the schedule of.the league games: Framingham vs. Marlboro at Framingham.Oct. 4- Milford vs. Westboro at Westboro.Oct. 7. Natick vs. Hudson at Hudson.Oct. 7.

Each principal has the privilege of handing in the name of one man who will act as referee and who will receive not over $5 for his services in championship games. Robert W. Lamb of the Milford Daily Journal was the selection of our principal, Dr. Derry. From this list the Secretary of the League will ap- . point a referee for each game, but he must not be a resident of the home towns of the contesting teams. Furthermore the referee’s expenses are to be paid by the school of the town in which the contest occurs- Other officials will be chosen by the contestants. It was also voted that whenever the principal or teacher of the visiting eleven is not present, a certified list of players should be sent before the game to the principal of the school with whom the contest is to be played. Sept. 30 our team journeyed to Needham and after a hard uphill fight lost by the score of 2 - 0 - This score however is considered very good by us and even by the coach because it was our first game against a heavier and veteran team. OAK, LILY AND IVY. i ' y Needham’s score was made on a safety by G. Grayson in the last two minutes of play. Robinson made some pretty passes and Hilton made a 40-yard run Newcomb was given his first experience in the position of quarterback and ran the team well. The team, as a whole, put up a good game of ball. The lineup:_ NEEDHAM HIGH. Dernie le Richwagon It Wright lg Quinlan c Childs rg Blades rt Dawson re G. Stanwood qb R.

On Oct. 4 the team travelled to a place in Rhode Island called Pawtucket and came home singing “We have met the enemy and they are ours.” The tune was 6-0. The school hopes that future tunes will always resemble this. The teams were evenly matched as the results of the game easily showed. Milford scored its touchdown in the last half when Lang secured an onside kick on the ten-yard line and firmly planted the pigskin between Pawtucket’s goal posts. The team played a great game and showed their steady drilling. The lineup :— MILFORD HIGH DeCiccio, Howard, re McCue rt Fales, Lang, rg Coombs c J. Duggan lg Crockett It Grayson le Newcomb 2b E.

The journals have been placed in the school library to give the pupils the privilege of reading them during spare time- It seems that they have a habit of looking for the jokes only and omitting the stories and editorials. However, we are persuaded that the pupils of the Milford high school are not unparalleled in their attitude toward such magazines, a fact which tends to make us believe that school OAK, LILY AND IVY. 15 papers everywhere are degenerating in regard to literary topics and progressing in would-be funny stories. We do not wish to criticise those schools who, in years gone by, have generously contributed their magazines to our exchange library, but we do wish to offer one suggestion which we shall try our best to accomplish in the Oak, Lily and Ivy, that the department of exchanges hud out into a truly helpful agent for the accomplishment of real literary merit. May all the schools, whom we should happen to come in contact with, combine with us in elevating the standard of criticism in the exchanges. A brief criticism with a twofold utility, helpful and valuable. To the papers we have received we extend a hearty welcome and offer an apology for the tardy appearance of our own magazine. G.

I had been detained a few days, following my Thanksgiving visit, by a slight illness, from which I was gradually recovering, in an Inn in the town of Nyack. The hail and rain beat incessantly against the casement, the jangling bells tolled the melancholy fact that again it was time for church. Through the leaded, many-paned window, under the dash of the rain, I could glimpse at the stable yard and the red-tiled roofs of the houses in the valley. Down below, for a moment, the yard teemed with life. The coach had arrived. Travellers and stable-boys, maids and hostlers sent up to my ear a deafening clamor of commands and instructions. But soon the Hash of excitement was over and once again the dreary monotony of the beating rain settled upon me its pall of gloom. I seated myself before the fire to read and smoke and call to memory the familiar picture in the room below. I could see, as plainly as if I were there, the low-ceilinged room with its smoke-polished rafters, the deep oak wains¬ cot whose rail was crowded with the bright pewter tankards which had made the Inn famous, the deep-throated fire-place planked by ample settees upon which now lounged the travellers, their high-booted legs stretched before the fire, their red coats flung wide open. I saw the huge oak chairs against the wall and I re¬ membered one which always invited me,—its back carved with grinning imps and plump cherubs. From the sound of the deep-voiced conversation, I judged that those strangers were yielding to the genial warmth of the fire and talking with one another as if they had been life-long friends. The constant tap of high- ' heeled shoes told me that the pretty maids, a short time before so sullenly resent¬ ful of imposed work, were laying the huge oak table and performing their duties with despatch. Were there not several young and handsome lads on that coach? I, too, would join the company and so while away the rest of that doleful day- But the depths of that chintz-covered chair were too inviting to resist. I hung my long-stemmed pipe on its hook by the fire-place, threw “The Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius” on the floor, and with one long-drawn yawn that stretched me as if on a quartering rack, gave myself up to sleep, and dreams of the morrow and—Betty A. W. T2. 6 OAK, LILY AND IVY Just one hundred and ninety years ago, in a rudely and hastily constructed log cabin, a band of Puritan men and women, stranded in a desolate land for conscience sake, set apart a day in which to thank God for the harvest recently gathered, and to petition His continuance of the material blessings they so bitterly needed to maintain life. For that harvest had meant life or death to that band and so their Thanksgiving was entered upon solemnly, reverently, but withal joyously, for Death had been conquered for a time at least. Little did they think that this day was to become the great holiday of a nation yet unborn—a nation which would stretch far beyond the horizon of their bleak New England hills and the summer shore of an unknown ocean; nor could their wildest dreams even slightly fathom a realization of a modern celebration of Thanksgiving—a day ap¬ parently given over to the worship of appetite. When this papei is placed before its readers Thanksgiving Day will have passed—a wonderfully beautiful day. But I wonder how many of you, on that day, remembered to give even the slightest thanks for the things you have enjoyed during the past year, your opportunities, your victories, and, above all, your failures. How many of you, readers, paused even for a second to offer heartfelt thanks for that greatest of all blessings you enjoy, that blessing for which that sturdy band of Puritans petitioned so earnestly so long ago—life itself? The method, necessitated by our extraordinary enrollment this year, of allow¬ ing the pupils, rather than the teachers, to change from class to class, requires, upon the part of the faculty, utmost reliance upon the honor of the pupils. The corridors are unusually narrow for a building the size of our High School, and much complication will arise if each pupil fails to realize a personal respon¬ sibility in the maintenance of good order and decorum. There can be no rules governing the way in which the pupils shall pass to class, other than those tacit canons of politeness and good taste governing any well-bred assembly of refined people. Nothing more is expected than that pupils should everywhere and at all times be young ladies and gentlemen; that they should remember that, while in school, they are the welcome guests of the town, and that they have only to com¬ port themselves as in the home of a beloved neighbor or of an honored and respected host. True, a few are still loud of mouth and uncouth in behavior but even those few have already shown so much mate refinement that no severer punishment proves necessary than the disapproval of their fellow classmates. OAK, LILYfAND IVY. 7 School IWotes. House of Representatives. A House of Representatives, modelled in every essential feature after the National House, was organized during the past month for the boys of the three upper classes of the Milford high school. The purpose of the organization is to study the art of argumentation and debate, to nurture a healthy and intelli¬ gent interest in the live issues of the day, and to cultivate the powers of effective and extempore speech. The “House” in all its activities will be an extension of Dr. Derry’s classes in civil government and oratorical composition. The traditional exercise known as “rhetoricals,” far from being encroached upon or supplanted, is maintained with all the enthusiasm which the pupils have ever displayed in elocution; the “House” meets a new and altogether different need. Besides the regular set debates, for which the pupils will prepare careful addresses under the master’s direction, the various committees will furnish to the House repeated reports on the state of the nation, and on the specific business of their respective departments, which will afford the members inexhaustible resources for ready and offhand discussion. At every meeting, too, Dr- Derry will give a brief conference on parliamentary law and legislative procedure, on brief-drawing and the elements of forensic logic, and on various artistic and stylistic problems inherent in public discourse. Towards the middle or close of the year, it is proposed to hold a public session of the House and an open debate in the town hall. As a worthy prize to be com¬ peted for by the pupils on that occasion, a distinguished resident of Milford and alumnus of the school, has offered a magnificent gold medal of exquisite work¬ manship and design. The House will convene for its regular business and debate Friday even¬ ing of each week. At an enthusiastic meeting held in the Assembly hall after school a preliminary organization was effected, and the following congressional officials were selected for the ensuing term: Speaker of the House, Ralph Newcomb, ’12; Clerk of the House, Ernest Hilton, ’ll; Sergeant-at-arms, Earle Crockett, ’12; Leader of the House, Edward Duggan, T2; Leader of the Op¬ position, John Keane, T2; Committee on Ways and Means, Francis Welch, T2, chairman, Bartlett Jones T2, Roger Butler ’12, James Quirk T2, R. Luce T3; Committee on Judiciary, Albert Sweet T2, Chairman, Kelsey Havner ’12, Frank Quinlan T2, Charles Dion ’12, Ralph Coombs ’12; Committee on Rules, Joseph Duggan T2, Chairman, Clifton Smith ’12, Lester Carev ’12, Fred Goucher ’12, Joseph DePasquale ’12; Committee on Foreign Relations, William McCue T2, Chairman, Frederick Nealon T2, Louis Marino T2, Walter Bailey T2, John Lynch T2; Committee on Naval and Military Affairs, Clifton Webber T2, Chairman, Linus Jones T2, Chester Brown T2, Frederick Tully T2, Carl Kennedy T2. First Congressional Session. Enthusiasm surpassing that of football, was the spirit in which fifty-two upperclassmen, each representing a state of the Union, organized the Milford High School Congress, on the evening of Nov. 10. Assembly Hall was ar¬ ranged after the appearance of the National House. On a raised dais on the platform, sat Speaker Newcomb, T2, flanked by the leaders of the government s OAK, LILY AND IVY. and of the opposition on a lower plane. On the floor of the house, facing the members’ seats, was the desk of the Clerk, surrounded by official stenographers and Pages of the House. For the first half hour, Dr. D erry addressed the members, explaining the organization of the House, the functions of officials and committees, and out¬ lining the principles of debate. Speaker Newcomb then reviewed the history of tariff legislation from the days of Alexander Hamilton to the Payne-Aldrich Bill, and introduced the latest solution, the permanent Tariff Board. Francis Welch, ’12, Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, explained in de¬ tail the purpose and plan of the Tariff Board Bill, and based his plea for its adoption on the need of scientific revision, by non-partisan experts, on the lines of the relative cost of production at home and abroad. John Keane, T2, Leader of the Oppositon, attacked the Bill with great warmth, declaring that the only sane policy for the Republic was the Democratic doctrine of free trade. Resuming the argument for the Bill, Edward Duggan, ’12, Leader of the Government, showed how successfully similar boards had been operated in Germany and other lands having an extensive international trade. Albert Sweet, T2, Chairman of the Committee on Judiciary, made a forceful rejoinder, branding as visionary and absurd the hope to keep such a board strictly non-partisan, out of the clammy clutch of politicians, and beyond the corrupting influences of the special interests and predatory wealth. At this point, the debate was thrown open to the House. Every Senior and many others spoke at length, some rising five or six times, in lively tilts over unexpected turns in the debate. The bill then passed back to the leaders for rebuttal. Francis Welch made a a vigorous reply to attacks on the bill, and John Keane summed up, in eloquent appeal, the strong points of the opposition- On being put to the vote, the Bill was lost, 32 to 9. At the close of the meeting, Dr. Derry congratulated the House on the gravity and decorum with which the discussion had been conducted, and expressed himself as surprised and gratified beyond expression at the rich forensic ability he had dis¬ covered in the school- Two weeks hence, the Committee on Foreign Relations will introduce a bill embodying a new plan for Canadian Reciprocity. Girls’ Literary Society The girls of the Milford high school, not to be outdone by the boys who are so assiduously applying their English lessons to the practice of debate, have organized a society for wider study and research in special literary fields, for exercise in oral and written composition, and for the cultivation and diffusion of artistic taste throughout the school. At a preliminary meeting at the home of Miss Edith Nichols, faculty director of the new society, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Presi¬ dent, Miss Margaret Williams, ’12; vice-president, Miss Helen Edmands, T3; sec¬ retary, Miss Janet Cooke, T2; treasurer, Miss Grace Keany, ’13; executive com¬ mittee, chairman, Miss Ada Melvin, T2, Misses Margaret Sullivan, T2, Mary Hickey, ’13, Helen Kiley, ’12, Helen Clancy, T3. The girls purpose to meet fortnightly, in round-robin succession, at their several homes. The early winter months will be devoted to an exhaustive study of Tenny¬ son’s contributions to the lyric and elegiac poetry of the Victorian Age. ' Phe Girls’ Literary society of the high school held its first session, Nov. 14, at the home of Miss Helen Clancy, West street. A long list of applications were admitted to membership, and a committee was appointed to select a distinctive title for the club, indicative of the connection with the high school and of its double de¬ votion to literature and art. OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 The general subject for the evening’s discussion was Tennyson’s contributions to the lyric and elegiac poetry of the Augustan age. Most of the members spoke freely and without notes. The topics developed at considerable length were as fol¬ lows: “The Tennyson family and the poet’s early life,” Helen Clancy; ‘‘The poet’s apprenticeship,” Janet Cooke; “Previctorian lyric verse,” Marguerite Curtin; “Tennyson’s lyric art,” Marion Gaffney; “The In Memoriam and the elegiac muse,” Katherine Doherty; “The religious note,” Helen Edmands; “Crossing the bar—The last phase,” May Kimball. During the evening. Miss Margaret Williams, president of the club, made a running comment on the papers presented, and Miss Edith Nichols, teacher of English, gave an illuminating talk on the “Aesthetic factor in Tennyson’s verse.” Rhetoricals. During the past month Dr. Derry conducted a class nearly every day in public speaking and elocution, to prepare for the weekly exercise in rhe¬ toricals before the whole school. In this work, which is to illustrate and reinforce the courses in English, literary analysis will be conjoined with the art of interpre¬ tative expression. Only the upper classes have hitherto participated in rhetoricals ; this year the advantages of such training will be likewise extended to the freshman class.

OAK, LILY AND IVY. I 2 The football season, whose successes have inspired us with a Thanksgiving mood this month, forcibly invites us, on its waning, to a more than usually reflect¬ ive survey and account of stock. Throughout the autumn, the school has manifested the athletic spirit at its best. Studies have never yielded their prestige to sport; the ideal of the sound mind in the sound physical frame has been asserted; a high scholastic standard has been exacted of every member of the team. At the early practice, unprecendented numbers responded to the first call, and from the largest squad in our history, the final team was picked- In numbers and enthusiasm, the Athletic Association has outdistanced previous years- Not even on the ungracious score of dues, can a reasonable complaint be made. The town, for the first time in its experience, has seen nearly three thousand at a football game, and our newly organized cheering, under spirited and leather-lunged leaders, has wrung victory from many a tight and critical place. The anxiety to avoid defeat, and the com¬ mon exultation over so many triumphs has welded the school into a singular unity of mind and heart. Fracas on the field, and embryonic riots after the game are a thing of the far receding past; everywhere, from their journeys, our boys have brought the highest encomiums for their manliness and self-control, their gentle¬ manly and decorous deportment. For the measure of success achieved, both in muscular growth and in a mastery of gridiron strategy and skill, unstinted and en¬ thusiastic praise is due our genial and energetic coach, Squire Cenedella. A dis¬ tinguished alumnus himself, ardently interested in all that concerns the progress of the school, he has given unreservedly of his time and attention; besides cultivating in the team strength, stamina and staying power, he has never failed to exhibit under all conditions the inspiring example of the true gentleman’s personality—sans peur et sans reproche.

It is not the lot of every teacher to be remembered by his pupils with admira¬ tion and esteem for more than a quarter of a century, but all who were members of the Milford High School in the early 80’s experienced a feeling of sadness and regret on hearing recently of the tragic death of Mr. Frank B. Sherburne of Lowell. In his three years of service here, as sub-master, Mr. Sherburne proved him¬ self an accomplished scholar, endowed with the rare gift of knowing how to teach and with the still rarer gift of so understanding boys and girls as to win from them the largest measure of liking and respect and to inspire them to their best efforts. The memory of the lessons that he taught may have waned with the passing years, but we shall always remember the man himself as he was in those far-off days. Inez I,. Gay, ’85. —Announcement was recently made of the marriage of Mrs- Gertrude (Pratt) Thompson, ’97, to Mr. Charles A. Booth, of Buffalo, N. Y- —Mr. Ralph W. Woodward, ’01, was recently entertained in Milford. —Miss Eunice D. Hussey, ’05, and Mr. Clarence Hussey, ’03, of Providence, visited friends in town during the Thanksgiving holidays. —Dr. Elmer E. Thomas ’04, who for the past year has been in the Carnev Hospital in Boston, is soon to go to New York City where he will continue his work in one of the hospitals of that city. —Miss Gwenn Cooke, ’06, is working in one of the offices of the Secretarial Department at Simmons College. Miss Cooke graduated from Wellesley in 1910 and took a one year course at Simmons College, last year. —On October 24, many of the young people of Milford attended the wedding of Miss Leah G. Carey, ’09, and Mr. Harry Webber, ex. ’09. —Mr. Arthur Murdock, ex. ’09, of West Boylston, formerly of Milford, is now attending Clark University, Worcester- —Miss Helen Hutton, ’10, is now employed as governess in the family of a prominent minister of Hingham, Mass. —Miss Bernice Ferry, ’ll, of Newton, formerly of Milford, is a student at the Newton Technical High school. H OAK, LILY AND IVY. —Miss Mildred Carpenter, ’ll, has recently returned to her home after a two weeks’ visit with Miss Josephine Westphal of Hartford, Ct. Miss Westphal formerly lived in Milford and was a member of the graduating class of 1910. —Miss Jessie Whitney, ’ll, is taking a course in convalescent nursing at Providence, R. I. —Miss Alice E. Spencer, ’ll, is very ill with scarlet fever at the Boston City Hospital. —Miss Harriet F. Burgevine, ’ll, has been obliged to leave the Nurses’ Training School of the Milford Hospital on account of illness. —As the result of an accident, which occurred the first of November, Mr. Earle S. Draper, ’ll, was obliged to leave the Massachusetts Agricultural College but was able to return before Thanksgiving. —Miss Ruth Norris, ex. ’ll, Gardiner, Me., formerly of Milford, is now employed as a stenographer in the law office of a former Mayor of Gardiner. “The Cue,” Albany Academy, Albany, N. Y. After passing four or five periods of recitations, a spare period is to a pupil as a summer vacation is to a working man. It is a pleasure to everyone to be able to take up a book and find a few well-written pages of the subject most pleas¬ ing to his mind. “The Cue” is a paper that affords this enjoyment. “The Somerset Idea,” Somerset, Kentucky• “A Vanishing Race,” a story in the October number of “The Somerset Idea,” sets the mind to thinking of the vain struggle of the Indians against the “Pale-face.” This story holds the attention of those readers who prefer historical essays or romances. “In Memory,” is a poem worthy of praise. “The Breccia,” Dcoring, Maine. In the editorials of “The Breccia,” the editor has, in our opinion, used too many colloquial expressions in the paragraph about the Alumni column. Could not the editor express the same meanings in a more formal manner? u The Aegis,” Beverly High School, Beverly, Mass. “The Aegis” is a well developed paper, but longer stories with unusual plots would make your Literary department more interesting. “The Argonaut,” Mansfield High School, Mansfield, Mass. The story of “Home” has been told repeatedly, but there is no reason why that subject should be forgotten. We note with pleasure that the “Argo¬ naut” has an essay on “Home.” OAK, LILY AND IVY. l 5 Teacher—“Dear me!

The young Freshman class seemed quite brilliant and bright, But on asking a question I got such a fright! They all said “becuz” with bucolic accord And I quickly escaped from the barbarous horde. The Sophomores lisped and the big Juniors too Declared they were here “becuz” they were “doo” (due). 1 turned in despair to the Senior class “Allow me, this one little question to ask? Come tell us now, Havner, why is the world round?” “Becuz”—he stammered, and then he sat down. (Extracts from Dr. D’s Diary.)

Entered at the Milford, Mass., Post Office, as second class matter. Janie of Garret Row. In the inner room of the Garret Row Bar, with his elbows on a small round table puddled with liquor and his head resting in his hands, Bill Buffin, the pro¬ prietor, sat in deep thought. Unobserved by the man at the table the last mem¬ ber of the gang staggered out; the light in the vile-smelling lamps burned low and the silence of the room was only broken by the hoarse boom of the clock- Suddenly, without the slightest warning, the door opened, letting in a biting blast of cold wind. Out of the dark came a little shivering figure. The dim glow from the lamps, perilously swinging on their rusty hooks, showed a threadbare dress, worn shoes and a ragged shawl. At the sound of the opening door the man at the table sprang to his feet with a savage oath. On his scarred, evil face there was a look of anger and fear which instantly gave place to amazement on perceiving who his visitor was. “May the fiends fly away with me if it aint ye, Janie! What’s wrong, Gal?” “Nothin’s wrong, Dad,” she answered, coming forward through the close, vile atmosphere to stand by the filthy table. Then with one thin, worn hand grasp¬ ing a chair-back for support and with her clear grey eyes fastened on the eyes of the man, she said calmly and distinctly, “I come here to tell ye that I knowed what ye an’ the gang be up to.” The man looked sharply at her, cursed softly under his breath but laughingly said as he came to her side and placed his hand clumsily on her arm, “You know something about yer dad, eh? Well, there is them as says he’s a bad ’un. What do you know?” “About Doctor Blake and the mayor. Ole Jim let it out last night just afore he died. Ye know as I was watchin’ wid him.” “A piece o’ luck for him that he got out last night,” chuckled the listener. Without heeding the interruption, she continued, “And Dad, Oh Daddie, Daddie! I come here to beg ye not to do it! Ye wont, Dad, ye wont do it will ye?” ! 1 j 8 OAK, LILY AND IVY. “Why not?” he growled. “Oh, Dad, how can ye ask that after all he’s did for the poor folk down here? Think o’ how lie’s brought bread to them as was starvin’ an’ how he’s healed them as was sick, an’ how he tole us about Him who cares an’ will make it all right bye and bye - “Yis,” he snarled, “think o’ how he’s come down here a settin’ the wimins again’ their men an’ the young uns again’ us who be older—a’ spiling business for the likes o’ me!” (here he brought down his fist on the table with a curse and roared) “He’s got to go! him and the mayor an’ this ’ere timprince rot! It’s all got to go! D’ye hear? Why don’t he stay to home where he belongs an’ ride around in his kerridges an ' autermobiles to feed sugar pills to them painted wim ins what aint nigh so good as ye be, Janie darling?” And here his voice became a little less terrible and his expression a little more human as he looked at her- At this the girl took heart and said pleadingly, “For my sake, Daddie Dear, ye won’t do it. I can’t bear to see ye strung up on the gallows. The rest o’ the gang don’t matter much but ye aint like them. Dad. Oh, Dadd ie! my own—my very own sweet Daddie, if ye only knowed how I love ye, ye couldn’t do it!” “Honey Chile,” he answered almost tenderly, “I love ye more than all the world- But even ye can’t stop me now! No!” he cried, lashing himself into animal fury, “I’ll tear the tongue out er yer head afore I’ll let ye tell this- Now then” (whipping a revolver out of his pocket and pointing it at the girl’s head) “will ye swear never to tell?” The thin, white face looked thinner and whiter; the worn, wasted form seemed to shrink farther within itself, and the knotted, bony hand clutched the chair tighter than ever; but the deep sad eyes never faltered in their gaze and her voice was low and calm as she answered, “No.” “What! ye won’t? Then by all the fiends in hell I’ll make ye! Come now— will ye swear?” Her lips trembled but there was not a quiver in her voice as again she answered “No.” “I’ll give ye jist one more chance,” he thundered, “now say ‘Yis’ or die!” A strange light flashed into her wonderful eyes and a smile curved her lips as she answered, “Yis,” and drawing the ragged shawl more closely about her, disappeared as suddenly as she had come. At the other end of the town was the private office of Dr. Blake. And what a different room it was in all its stately magnificence from the inner room of the Garret Row Bar in its vile filth and wretchedness! Yet the contrast between Doctor Blake, physician, philanthropist and Child of Fortune and the ferocious saloon-keeper of Garret Row was even more marked. There in his easy-chair, talking earnestly with the mayor, sat the great phy¬ sician and just outside the alcove window, within a stone’s throw of the doctor’s hand, crouched Bill Buffin backed by his gang. Yes, there sat the doctor, all un¬ conscious of the fate awaiting him. Nor did his guardian angel even whisper in OAK, LILY AND IVY 9 his ear that he was at the very threshold of that great beyond whither he had seen so many pass and never one return. And on that very moment which was destined to usher him into eternity, his thoughts were all of things of earth. “It is agreed then,” said the doctor,” that I can rely on you for aid. It is going to be a great campaign. One such as this city has never seen. The place will be shaken from the very foundation. I have staked everything on this issue. But we will wm, we must win! The right can not fail this time. Wrong has run its course. God never permits one evil to exist forever.-” Bang! Crash !! The report of a pistol and almost simultaneously the thud of a body falling heavily! But it was not Doctor Blake who had fallen—■ it was a little figure in a threadbare dress, worn shoes and a ragged shawl. With a shrill cry of alarm the mayor sprang to the shattered window and flashed a search-light over the lawn There was no sign that any living thing had recently crossed it- He rushed back into the room and there was the doctor deathly pale and very shaky, bending over the thin, wasted little form that had so successfully interposed itself between the doctor and the window. “Dead?” inquired the mayor. “Yes, I think so,” replied the doctor shortly. “Who is it?” “The woman with a soul,” was the only answer. And now the haggard, frightened faces of servants became visible at doors and windows. It was some three weeks later that Doctor Blake came into the Children’s Hospital, whistling a merry little tune and looking unusually cheerful. He went straight to Janie’s room and bending over her, asked softly, “How is it this morn¬ ing, dear child? Is the pain any better?” “Yis,” she answered smiling bravely up into his face,” much better this morn¬ ing and pray, tell me how is mother and the little ones, Doctor?” “Very well and very happy,” he answered blithely. You have no idea how grand they are in their new home and they will never go back to Garret Row any more, Janie.” A look of pleasure not unmixed with pain stole into the deep lustrous eyes as she said, “Then they won’t need Janie to work for them any more, will they, Doctor dear?” “No, they won’t need Janie any more because she is needed somewhere else now. Janie, are you very strong today? Then may I tell you a fairy story?” “Once upon a time there lived a very beautiful girl called Cinderella. And because she was so beautiful, her cruel stepmother hated her and made her sit in the ashes all day long. But one day Cinderella’s godmother came and dressed her up splendidly and sent her to a grand ball. At the ball she met a young prince who fell desperately in love with her. But she disappeared and he couldn’t find her anywhere. However she had dropped her slipper at the ball and he had picked it up. So he went about through all the land, searching her whom the slipper would fit, and at last he found Cinderella weeping among the ashes. Then he took her away with him and they lived—Oh, so happily ever after! And you are my Cinderella. All my life long I have been looking for you, carrying a little empty IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. slipper in my pocket. For, Janie Dearest, my wife must have a soul.” Then tenderly he bent over her and placed a kiss on her flushed forehead. But the pleasure in her eyes had faded quite away and in its place was an expression of intense pain- “No! No! Dear Doctor, don’t say that! Oh, please, please, don’t You know it can’t be- It never—never can be! That was only a fairy tale. If it hadn’t a’ been, the prince couldn’t a’ lifted Cinderella out of the ashes; she would a’ dragged him down into them, instid!” “Don’t talk that way, Dear-Heart,” begged the doctor, taking both the hot, worn little hands in his own. “You will soon, learn the ways of the world, pre¬ cious child. And I am rich, Janie, and we can go away to a far country where the cruel world can never find us.” “But, Doctor, fine ladies the world over have beautiful faces, sweet voices and soft hands. Money can’t buy those things and so I must always be Janie of Garret Row. Oh, no, no, Doctor, it can’t be! It never, never can be!” Then upon his beautiful dreams and gorgeous fancies, the Gorgon Head of Fact looked in and turned them all to stone. He turned and looked at her. Her face was terribly flushed with fever and every nerve twitched with pain while in those wonderful, haunting eyes, lurked an expression of such hopeless, senseless agony that he turned away again, summoned the nurse and departed. And as he closed the door, he knew that he was closing the door upon the one romance of his life. In after years children, whose little bodies were racked with mortal pain and whose little limbs were stiff and weak from long inaction, begged to see the sweet-faced lady who lived in the back of the doctor’s watch. But they could not know that the peaceful, far-away look in her glorious eyes was the set look of death and that the matchless smile upon her lips was a faint reflection of heaven’s own sunshine. S. F. H. ’ 12 . A Deep-Sea Dilemma. A few years ago, I was sent away to spend the winter with some distant rela¬ tives of my father’s, who lived on a rocky peninsula on the Maine coasf. While my cousin’s chief occupation was care of the lighthouse, he devoted his spare time to the raising of poultry, a diversion in which he took a great pride. One morning, he discovered that one of his prize Wvandottes was missing. Vainly he searched for her all day long This worried him not a little, as he had intended to enter her in the county fail to be held the next week. Early that afternoon, a long prophesied storm came up, and by the time the light was lit, the worst storm of the season was upon us. I went to bed early, to try and lose my fear in sleep. To me, for I was not used to the sea, it seemed as though the wind, in its fury, would blow the house into the sea. Once a dish was hurled to the floor, and the crash seemed like the report of a gun. The pounding of the waves against the rocks added to my fear until at last, in desperation, I pulled the bedclothes over my head, and in breathless terror, waited for the dawn. OAK, LILY AND IVY. n I must have fallen asleep, for I can only remember that next I was sitting up in bed, dimly conscious that something was wrong. The heavy rain had abated, and the moonlight was streaming into the room. Outside my window I heard strange voices, now and then raised in excitement. Downstairs, too, I could discern a muf¬ fled commotion. In a sudden burst of courage, I hurriedly dressed, and stood at the head of the stairs. Then cautiously, step by step, I descended, and finally reached the dining room door, which stood just ajar. Such a sight as I saw! A long smooth sea stone, worn by constant waves breaking over it into the shape of a table, was in the center of the room, and grouped around it were fifteen mermaids, all dressed in green seaweed gowns. Their hair, like all the pictures I had seen of these mythical creatures, was spread out over their shoulders, but they lacked the comb and mirror, which I vaguely imagined to be as necessary as their flowing hair itself. Beside each were men, plainly sailors, who had a strange, death¬ like look; all through the room was a blue mist, thick and damp. The table was set for a dinner, and in front of one of the mermaids, was the prize Wyandotte, which my cousin had missed that morning. Forgetting myself for a minute, I threw open the door and dashed in, my only thought being to save the hen. In a second I was surrounded by the sailors. Silent¬ ly they bound me to a chair, and silent still, sat down to that strange meal. Not a word was spoken after they had seen me, and yet, in some manner, they all seemed to understand each other. All had the appearance of eating, yet, there was no food on the table save the hen, and that was undisturbed. Finally at some signal, unseen or unheard by me, they all arose and came toward me. “What shall we do with this outsider who dares to intrude upon us,” cried one of the mermaids. “Do?” was the answer of a sailor, “she cannot go back among mankind, after witnessing my companions, dead as she calls them. What do you think about it, Davy Jones?” “Better take her to my locker; there’s always room for one more in the sea. you know.” Then I was taken from the chair, too frightened, almost, to move; the hen was placed in my arms, and then in a silent procession, I was taken out of the house. Solemn, faraway music was playing, while ever before us, the blue, misty lights appeared. Never had I known the sea to be so far away, but at last we reached it. At the edge of the water, some resistance held me back and finally all had passed me and had gone waist-deep into the water; then they turned and beckoned to me. Then I was possessed with a strange desire to follow, but now something from behind held me. I turned, and found myself held by a sailor, dressed in white. Slowly before my astonished eyes he faded, and faded, until I became conscious that I was holding a pillow in my arms, and was all tangled up in the bedclothes, while from below the welcome cry of “last call to breakfast,” smote upon my re¬ turning sense. T 3. OAK, LILY AND IVY. I 2 Have we lost the spirit of Christmas? Do you, pupils of the Milford high school, understand what the day signifies? Long ago you reluctantly gave up the beautiful myth of Santa Claus and his wonderful love for the children, but did you then create for yourself a new interpretation of the spirit of Christmas day? If you did not then take to yourself the belief in the abiding symbols of the Santa Claus— the universal, all-embracing love of mankind, you have missed an appreciation of the finest thing in the world. Christmas is the “love” day. It is the day when, more than at any other time, you are brought face to face with your neighbors, your friends, above all your family and you try to express by gift the common bond which binds you so closely to one another. Do you in your gifts express yourself, or your pocketbook? Do you fully appreciate Lowell’s lines? “Not what we give but what we share, For the gift without the giver is bare ; Who gives himself with his alms Feeds three, himself, his hungry neighbor—and me.” To all, the editors extend the hope of a most happy Christmas. It will be the best you ever spent if you put yourself into the day and give an expression of the best that is in you. - 1 € � - Scbool motes. - High School Congress At the high school Congress on Dec. 11, a communication was received from Ex-Congressman John J. Mitchell of Marlboro, accepting the principal’s invita¬ tion to address the local Congress in the near future on his legislative experiences at Washington and parliamentary procedure in the House. Bv a unanimous vote, the clerk was directed to convey the thanks of the House to Cong. Weeks for his contribution of the Congressional Record and other governmental publications. As custodian of the Record and keeper of the growing archives, Clifton Web¬ ber, T2, was elected Librarian of Congress. Geo. Crocicchia, ’ 14 , was chosen Page of the House. Before the introduction of the evening’s bill, Dr. Derry gave his usual half- hour conference, last night’s being the structure and style of a forensic address, with practical hints on the drawing of briefs. OAK, LILY AND IVY L3 In presenting a new bill for Canadian Reciprocity, Frank Quinlan, ’12, gave an exhaustive survey of the commercial relations of the two countries and pleaded for a more unrestricted trade and the policy of the Open Door between two peoples already allied by the close sympathies of racial origin, a mutually shared literature and a common speech. This position was sharply assailed by the leader of the opposition, Linus Jones, T2, who marshalled an imposing array of facts and sta¬ tistics to show that, however much Canada had to hope from freer trade, the aban¬ donment of a protective barrier meant most certain ruin to the commerce and in¬ dustry of the United States. Jos. Duggan, T2, in resuming for the Government, laid forever the ghastly bogey of annexation, which was made the fallacious ground of objection to Reciprocity in the late Canadian campaign. The opposition was forcefully closed by James Quirk, T2, who brought the issue to our own doors by contending that New England, more than any section of the country, was destined to economic blight from two most fatal sources, once the products of Canadian farms and fisheries were dumped without restriction on our shores. After a lively and spirited discussion from the floor, including a fine speech by John Keane, the bill was adopted by a vote of 32 - 9 . At the next session of the House, after the Christmas recess, Francis Welch, T2, chairman of the committee on judiciary, seconded by Alfred Coppinger, T3, will propose an amendment to the Sherman Anti-Trust law, providing for more effective federal control of interstate corporations, and for the immediate dis¬ solution of all unreasonable combinations in restraint of trade. The case for the trusts will be supported by Clifton Webber, T2 and Ralph Luce, T 3 . £ Glee Club. On Wednesday, November 29 , the Seniors and Juniors met in the Assembly hall for their first lesson in music under Miss McNamara. The voices of all in the school have been tested and the various parts assigned, but owing to the large number of pupils to be instructed, two divisions have been formed to meet on alter¬ nate Wednesdays. Miss McNamara has suggested that a Glee Club be formed which, with the possible assistance of one or two outside musicians, could give a creditable concert in the near future. The suggestion was met with hearty approval as was evidenced by the number of applications to the club. Girls ' Literary Club. The Literary club met Tuesday afternoon, December 12th with Miss janet Cooke. The life and works of Robert Browning were discussed with great profit and pleasure. By vote of the club the meetings will occur hencefoward on alternate Tuesday afternoons. Rhetoricals.

The Midland Interscholastic League, which comprises the high schools of Mil¬ ford, Hudson, Marlboro, Westboro, So. Framingham and Natick, has already com¬ pleted its official schedule for the Base Ball season of 1912 . At a special meeting of the League in So. Framingham December 11 , whereat Milford was represented by Dr. Derry and Lester Carey, T 2 , manager of baseball for the coming year, the schedule was discussed and last year’s agreements as to elegibility confirmed. The meeting was presided over by Harry C. Waldron, supt. of the Westboro schools. Principals of the respective schools and some of the team managers were present. Jan. 13 , the next meeting of the league, the names of suitable umpires will be submitted. It was also voted to adopt the football schedule for next season at that meeting. On motion of Dr. Derry, the football pennant of this season was awarded to Natick high school. Chairman Waldron, congratulated Natick high on its success during the re¬ cent football season and spoke of the clean, sportsmanlike manner in which the Natick warriors conducted themselves. E. A Shaw, principal of the Natick high school, made a suitable response. It was voted that Geo. W. Morris, principal of the Marlboro high school and secretary of the league, attend a meeting of the business men of Natick Thursday evening, and at a banquet to be tendered the Natick team then, formally award the Midland Interscholastic league football pennant to the Natick team. An invitation was read from the Middlesex South Agricultural soociety of Framingham, to have the teams of the league participate with high schools of sur¬ rounding cities and towns in a track meet at South Framingham Memorial day, 1912 . The matter will be taken up at the next meeting. The ieague schedule:— MILFORD AT HOME. May 1 —With Westboro. May 4 —With Natick. June 1—With Framingham. June 8—With Marlboro. June 15 —With Hudson.
