The hotelkeeper said he was sorry but the only room empty was one that he had not been able to let. A barber had killed himself in that room and his spirit still haunted the place. Nothing daunted, the man replied, “Humph, show it to me. I’m not afraid of ghosts.” “Very well,” and the innkeeper led the way. The young man undressed and went to bed but somehow couldn’t sleep. The wind came up and a cold heavy fog settled down into rain. lie was falling asleep when he thought he heard a kind of moaning. He started up in bed and —“Do—you—want—to be—shaved?” “Do—you—want—to be—shaved?’’ “Do—you—want—to he—shaved?” “What the-is that,” and he jumped out of bed and followed the sound. It seemed near the window, and again in grave yard tones, “Do—you—want—to be—shaved?” “Do—you—want—to be —shaved?” He raised the sash and listened—it was quite close now, “Do— you—want—to-be—shaved?” “Ah, there he is! ” he exclaimed and pushing up the window he broke off the branch of a tree, which blowing back and forth across the pane created the noise. “Ghosts, nothing,” and he climbed back into bed. His room, however, was right over the bar and the noisy carousing kept the poor man distracted. Clinking of glasses, quarreling, shouting, continued until he lost all patience and flew out of bed exclaiming, “Can’t they let a fellow sleep! I’ll fix them.” Taking the sheet and his razor he went down the stairs to the bar and appeared in the doorway, crying, “Do—you—want—to be—- shaved r ” “Do—you—want—to lie—shaved?” “Do—you—want—to be shaved?” Everybody fled and the barkeeper hid under the counter so the salesman returned to his room to get his hard earned sleep. In the morning the landlord asked him if he’d seen anything of the ghost? 6 OAK, LILY AND IVY. all? “No.” “Well! That’s funny, he came down into the bar-room last night and wanted to shave us. Scared everybody so we couldn’t induce them to return again.” “Guess I’ve laid your ghost then, if you have any more trouble with him send for me—I’ll settle him.” With that the salesman paid his bill and went away, leaving the man doubtfully shaking his head. Two or three months later the young man again came to the hotel and in¬ quired if they had seen anymore of the barber ghost. “As an appreciation of the service rendered, I’ll let you have one of the best rooms in the house for nothing.” And the man who had had courage enough to face a ghost went to a good night’s rest chuckling to himself. Miriam E. Ball, 15. A Marnerian Fantasy. Gray, lingering twilight merges away into night, black, thick and still, save lrom the moan of the cold winter wind sighing throughout the trees; now the faint howl of a wolf, now the demoniacal laugh of the owl wails away into dead silence. Far away among the lonely hills a rough shack nestles in the shelter of the woods. Within, the walls are of rough boards; nothing adorns the interior save a rude bunk of dried leaves. A little to the right is a fire-place made of sticks plastered with mud, in which a fire dances, merrily casting gro¬ tesque shadows on the opposite walls. In the farthest corner, at a rickety, home¬ made table, his face lighted momentarily by the fire, sits a man counting a large bag of coins. In the dim light of the flickering candle the beams play on a face not good to look upon. His parchment-hued cheeks are deep and sunken; from either side of a thin, hawk-like nose bulge two piercing, wild and restless eyes. Now as he opens his mouth, a set of yellow fangs come into view. Surmount¬ ing all is a long, unkempt mop of gray hair which ill conceals a ragged scar on his wrinkled brow. The clinking of coins continues in a monotonous jingling stream. At last it is all counted and with crazy laughs, he kisses and throws his arms about the bags burying his face in the beloved pile. There he rests until,—what is that he sees in the fire before him? A clearly defined face, the visage of one whom he had robbed bit by bit, steadily, persistently. The miser starts, shivers, begins to pick nervously at the table with his long talon-tipped nails. Now it is gone, but stop! another pair of eyes gleam beseechingly from out that glowing mass. Each in turn they come, those he had wronged. Oh God! Now the face of the man he murdered! See ! there is the same wound on the temple from which even now drops of blood seem to ooze. With a shriek he rises, and sweeping the gold to the floor, he leaps to the shelter of the bunk and there, face down, he lies, shivering and clutching at the dead leaves beneath him. From the shelter of his arms he peers again toward the fire. “The Fire !” It is still there ! It fascinates, hypnotizes, calls, and like one in a dream, he arises, and crouches unwillingly, moves toward the fire and OAK, LILY AND IVY. 7 the face. Nearer and nearer he approaches; now his clothes smoke in the scorch¬ ing heat; beads of perspiration stand out on his forehead. A live coal drops to the floor; soon a tiny flame springs up; it spreads. The smoke thickens, yet the figure, spellbound by the face in the coals, cannot stir. In a little time nearby hills are wakened by the crackle and by the ruddy glow of a pile of blazing timbers which shine like a beacon; but soon the light fades and dies out and once more over all settles the cold clammy darkness of doom. Geo. Caldicott, ’14. Twice Traveled Trails. To Doc and me, hunting is a vocation. From our childhood we have been accustomed to handle guns. As a very little fellow, I can remember what a cer¬ emony father made of teaching me to clean his guns; what reverence and care for weapons he instilled. Later when I went along with him into the woods, how diligently he interested me in the catechism of hunting! And now, when¬ ever we can, when the office is not full of doleful patients, or when I am not hindered by that pest of the school boy, afternoon session, Doc and I shoulder our guns and tramp away. Thanksgiving day we set apart as a day of great devotion to game and early we started out. We crossed the road and proceeded to hunt over a wet and exceedingly thickly wooded swamp. It was cold and damp and every bush seemed determined to catch and hold on to some part of our clothing or skin. We travelled in silence though once in a while an occa¬ sional “Ouch!” would come from either Doc or me, as we stooped to crawl under some tightly woven branches or vineswhere some very friendly and pain¬ fully affectionate horse-briars would grab our legs and command our immediate attention. At last we reached the end of the swamp and we climbed over a wall into a field that had once been post of the woods, but was now filled with scrub oaks and underbrush. Scattered here and there were closely intertangled piles of dry brush and briars which afforded excellent hiding for small game. We stamped over all these piles but the “Jinks” the god of all luck was certainly with us for no sign of a living animal did we see. Beyond this field was a similar one which, however, was able to boast of one or two small pine trees in the further corner, but, of no very promising places for game. We had chosen unwisely and were about to turn back when Doc saw an old milk can on a rock beneath one of the pines. You who do not know Doc cannot appreciate the fact that even if he is my uncle, he is more of a “kid” for liking fun than am I; and that combination of milk-can and gun was too much for him. It was the first time that morning that he was really animated and I grinned in sympathy as I heard him give that clearly-cut “up-in-the-air” laugh of his and saw him raise his gun and let drive. I hoped against hope that he wouldn’t hit that can. I wanted to hear his apologies which are always most elaborate when he fails to hit. But the shot struck the can squarely and as the sharp report rang out a rabbit scurried from beside him toward the back of the field. His sudden appearance so startled us that for a moment neither of us fired at him. The sur¬ prise, however, was only momentary and before he had gone many yards, a well directed shot stopped his swift flight. I don’t remember now just whose it was but I claimed it and was allowed to keep it. When we had recovered our confused senses, we continued our way through the next field. This area was covered with a buck grove and, to our great amazement, before we left the place another rabbit was added to the collection. 8 OAK, LILY AND IVY. About half the field had been hunted over when a whio of tiny feet through the dry leaves attracted my attention, and excitement was again in the air. As I could not see the maker of the startled rush through the bushes, I called to Doc to look out. I had hardlv uttered a word when the sharp report of Doc’s gun rang out. On going over I found him chasing a badly wounded rabbit. Doc would make a grab for the rabbit, and just as he almost had him, the rabbit would jump away. To see a full grown man chasing a rabbit like that was funny and it reminded me of a clown at a circus chasing his hat around the ring and just as he would grab for it, a slight kick would put it beyond his reach. With one final effort Doc was successful and the rabbit was his. It was now nearing dinner time and as the snow was beginning to fall thickly, we decided to turn homeward. While climbing a bar gateway, I rested my weight a little too much on the top rail, which gave way with a loud snap and dumped me unceremoniously on the ground. Doc had reached the other side safely but the loud snap attracted his attention and he returned just in time to see a mixed up mass of legs, arms, and gun dropping toward the ground in a confused mass. Doc actually had the nerve to stand there and laugh as hard as he could. His mirth got the better of him when I told him that the poor, unfortunate rabbit had broken my fall by swinging under me and when I landed, it was on the rabbit instead of directly on the frozen ground. If the people within a square mile had never heard a good hearty laughing solo, they certainly had one grand chance then. We both laughed until our empty stomachs ached. When the effects had decreased, we continued our way home without any other accidents. The next day two hungry fellows ate, rabbit pie and somehow it seemed to me that my rabbit pie was more tender than usual. W. ’14. Fair Play. Jackson, quarter back of the Rockland Academy football team, alter being dismissed by the coach at the end of the afternoon’s practice, took a shower, changed his clothes and went down to the ferry and across to Greenwood where he had a few errands to do before supper. It was fairly dark and as he walked along he heard voices mentioning the name Rockland and immediately became interested. He stopped, and hid be¬ hind a tree, where he heard the whole conversation which happened to take place between Greenwood’s coach and captain about the plays which Greenwood was to use in the game tomorrow. Jackson listened until the coach and captain had finished their conversation about the trick plays of the game then hurriedly completed his errands and recrossed the river to his own academy. His first thought when he arrived in his room was to tell his coach at once what he had overheard but on second thought he changed his mind. That night as he went to the training table for his supper, his friends saw that something troubled him and on asking him what the trouble was, he evaded the question by pleading a headache. He returned to his room and re¬ tired early. On the following day, which was Thanksgiving Rockland Academy wound up her foot-ball season with the annual game with Greenwood High School. When- It w r as the fourth period in the game and neither side had scored. Rockland had the ball on her own ten yard line. It was the fourth down and there was five yards to make. Jackson thought it best to punt. Greenwood’s quarter received the ball on his own forty yard line and succeeded in carrying it back to OAK, LILY AND IVY 9 Rockland’s twenty yard line. He quickly arose from where he had been downed and ga e the signals for the trick play that was expected to net a touchdown for Greenwood. Jackson, remembering the signals which he had heard the night before, started to place his men so as to intercept the play, but he was halted by a sudden impulse. Something within him seemed to say “Play Fair.” While he was deciding whether to arrange his men or not the play was on. Rockland s right end, who had seen the same play in a college game earlier in the season broke through and tackling the man with the ball threw him for a foul yaid loss. Greenwood now tried two line plunges which netted but three vauls. The quarter, then ordered a kick from placement tried, but one of the Rockland players broke in and blocked the kick. As the ball hit the player, it bounded high into the air and Jackson catching it when it came down ran eighty yards for a touchdown amid the cheers of the Rockland rooters. RockTand failed to kick the goal. The ball was hardly in play again before the final whistle olew. hen Jackson letired that night, he said to himself, “Fair play did it!” H. H. L. ’15. Happy New Year! How many times have those words been spoken to us and what have they meant? We have all either formed new resolutions in our hearts or we have written them down in a notebook and firmly vowed to be true to our better selves. But alas! how many of them were forgotten when the little book was closed? How few kept? And again, how many of 11s resolved not to bluff in school, but to give our teacher a surprise by each day reciting a lesson we had conscientiously studied? But there were only a few that did not bluff the very next day. It may seem clever to us, now, to think we are able to feign having studied, but later on when school life is over, and a great responsi¬ bility rests on our shoulders, we shall look back with regret to the time when, with only a little bit of will-power, we could have kept our good resolves and added greatly to our store of moral energy for the years ahead. IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. Class IRotes. Miss Mae Curtin, 13, spent the holidays with her brother, at North Alding¬ ton. The H. H. Club held a Christmas Party at the home of Miss Evelyn Ma- cuen, ’13. The Seniors at their recent class meeting, voted to hold a dance in the As¬ sembly Hall of the High School, on January 24. Those Juniors! ! ! “Yes,” replied the learned Senior, To his chum the other day, “We must try to train those Juniors, In the straight and narrow way.” Say, John, you know Leslie Adams, Thin chap with an humble air ? Well, that boy is simply fading Under his huge load of care. Eben Baker, too, is ailing, But it’s not from overwork, Though by that we are not hinting, That his lessons he will shirk. Birmingham and Brothers also, Two young ladies in this class, “Women .Suffrage” strongly favor, Bragg says, “They’ll bring things to pass.” Now Miss Cadwell’s our new Junior, Rather shy, and a true friend ; Marion Cobb’s forever working ; Though Carey’ll not to that descend. Caldicott the budding speaker, Loves to argue proven facts, Talks for forty-five long minutes Till our nerves he sorely racks. Margaret Cochran and Blanche Crockett, Ever ready for a scrap, When from study they get respite, They would like to change our map. Now that young chap there’s Caruso, I “Classy looking guy,” you say ? , Goes in for all sorts of sporting, In the saucy Junior way. But behold ! the perfect Angel, In DeCicco, whose real good ; He returns to get his candv, And he really thinks he should 1 ! ! Antoinette’s a quiet lassie, Margaret Desmond—born Coquette ! And Miss Dillon —ever flirting, Say look out! She’ll get you yet! Fales, a sober sedate fellow, President of this great class, Tries to set a good example, To this restless surging mass. Marie Gaghan’s strong for baseball, OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 Florence Gerry loves her books, But F. Grayson spends his leisure, In admiring ' his looks. Esther Fuller, gay and cheerful, Flitting round from room to room, Quite important, very busy, Always that till crack of doom. Helen Lang’s a studious maiden, Ever digging at her work, I. Doane says “I love my studies, But other pleasures, I’ll not shirk.” Oh! that little (?) chap is “Hilly.” Isn’t he a graceful boy? Watch him move about so swanlike, Fills us with aesthetic joy ! Miss McLoughlin slender maiden ! Basket ball’s her favorite game ; If she grabs you in the struggle, You will never look the same. Jennie Lyons, full of mischief, Ah ! she causes us much grief ! And we hope—and that quite stronglv, That she’ll soon turn o’er a leaf. Phyllis Kimball—the “Man hater.” Always says “you horrid thing! ” But Miss Lynch says Phyll is bluffing, And she knows she’d wear a ring. McNamara and young Dumbell, Ever battling at recess, Yes—their conduct is most shocking, We, as Seniors must confess. Miss Moloney and MissManion, Always quiet and real good, Quite respectful to their elders, As all little children should. Here’s Miss Moylan loudly talking, Raising “Cain” out in the hall, And Miss Maynard’s strong for Senior’s, (Those who aren’t so very tall). You all know the “Miller’s daughter,” Has a good old-fashioned name, And whenever mischief’s brewing, Carolyn is not to blame. ( ?) That small girl is Henrietta, She’s a very quiet miss, And that fellow sitting near her, Is J• Quirk—thinks History bliss. There’s Ruth Ames, the bashful Junior, She’s decided it will pay Not to change her last initial But to always write it “A.” Way down there in that far corner, vSonier sits, our smile beneath, And whenever he gets nervous, Wriggles round and picks his teeth. Myrtle Spencer is romantic, Longs to go upon the stage, I 2 OAK, LILY AND IVY. And to write a splendid novel, On H. Shultz when she’s of age. Beatrice Newcomb—sedate Junior; Knows the fine points of the game, She’s especially fond of foot-ball, Goes more than do the other dames. Just look here ! If that’s not Johnson, Loyalty has drawn him back, Junior class thought they had lost him, To the West he’s soon to pack. Alma Sweet is their musician, Helen Twitched school enjoys, And Gert Tower’s fond of dancing, Yinnie Woodbury? Horrid noise! Here’s Ralph Ward, the grave young fellow, For himself he’ll make a name. Dorcas Whipple’s fond of joking, And a studious, well bred dame. Harold Whitney and Bruce Warfield, The worst imps in that whole class! Always making a disturbance, Bothering every lad and lass. But, continued the grave Senior, With a sigh that touched my heart, We’re in hopes to plant some knowledge, In that class before we part. Midland League Banquet. The directors of the Midland League, with the faculty directors of athletics from the schools represented, were entertained last evening in the Fram¬ ingham High School at a sumptuous dinner prepared and served in artistic per¬ fection by the young ladies of the domestic science department of that school. After the banquet, Dr. Geo. Hermann Derry, principal of the Milford High School, on behalf ol the directors of the league, delivered the congratulatory ad¬ dress, to which Principal Cushing of Framingham made a genial response. At the annual meeting which ensued, it was voted that henceforth all foot¬ ball officials, referee, umpire and head linesman, shall be selected by the home team; and the maximum salary of such officials, which during the past season has proved a bugbear to financially embarrassed teams, was fixed at a reason¬ able rate by a League regulation. In determining the football championship, the directors decided that, to forestall a recurrence of the Marlboro-Hudson dis¬ pute about the rating of tie-games, the pennant shall be awarded to the school securing the highest percentage of victories, tie games to count as contests played but not won ; between two teams still tied on this computation, the hon- OAK, LILY AND IVY. 13 ors are to be adjudged according to the number of games lost. The League staff of baseball umpires who served last spring were re-elected for the ensuing year, with the proviso that further candidates will be considered at the next meeting of the League. The date of the annual meeting, hitherto held in Janu- ary, was fixed for the second Saturday after Thanksgiving, to bring the football season to a close and make the official pennant awards. The football schedule fpr 1913, the proposal of a Midland League Track meet in May, and the ques¬ tion ol an authorized League baseball will be discussed and acted on at a special meeting of the directors to be held in Framingham on F eb. 8. FROM . OUR EXCHANCES B.T uHNtn. . W e heartily welcome the following Exchanges and hope we may see you each month. 4 ' ’High School Review.” Your paper is attractive, interesting and neat. The stories are well written and show plainly you have talent in your school. Why not take some simpler subject for one or more of your stories? We are interested to see what you could do on an imaginative subject. We wish you every success in your paper. “The oice.” We are glad to welcome you and hope we may exchange regularly with you. Some cuts would vastly improve your paper, and make it more interesting, although it is better than it looks. Your Exchanges are well written and original. Insert some stories in a lighter vein. We are especially interested in the “Gleaner” and give it cordial welcome. V our stories are good and of the calibre that make school papers interesting. We enjoyed “An Adventure on Lonely Island,” also “Mrs. Thorne’s Own Day.” As the Exchange Column is to criticize the papers in a friendly way, why not express your opinion of each one you receive? “The Magnet.” We see no acknowledgement of our paper in your Ex¬ change Column. Is it possible it has not been received? Your paper is well balanced and on the whole good. “Little Jacques at the Storming of the Bas- tile” is full of life and action and as a result is well done. “The Red and Gray” comes up to its usual high standard this month. You aie developing a genius that bids fair to outrival Shakespeare in writing plays. It is somewhat different from what we found in any other Exchange and “vari- ety is the spice of life.” The edition is very interesting and “A Christina Story” is splendid. We can suggest no improvements. “The Imp,” for December is unusually good, and we enjoyed you very much. Come again. One of our Exchanges inquired why we called our paper the “Oak, Lily, and Ivy,” When the paper was founded in 1884, the motto “Strength, Purity and Tenacity” was chosen, and the title of our paper symbolizes these virtues for which we strive. “The Amygdaloid” is a good paper, but oh, dear! The print is so tiny. Get a few cuts and an exchange column if you want to improve your paper. is OAK, LILY AND IVY. H In looking over the Exchanges we invariably pick out those that look inter¬ esting, and the “Argonaut” is one of them. “The Triumph of Ebenezer Doo¬ little” is great, and in fact all your stories are that. We welcome you heartily. “The Aegis.” A splendid paper. Enjoyed reading you very much. The only criticism we can make is—don’t mix your advertisements with the rest of the paper; it gives a jumbled appearance. The “Dean Megaphone” seems to be mixed this month. It hasn’t as good an appearance as usual. Wouldn’t it be better to put everything pertaining to Athletics under that head? Your paper is certainly excellent on the average. The “Palmetto” is an interesting paper and would be greatly improved by a few more cuts. It really does look “dry,” but in this case looks are deceiving. We like the idea of having all the advertisements in t he back. You are very neat and attractive, “Index,” but where is your Exchange Column? “A Tangled Web” is the best story we have seen in any of the Exchanges. We like your paper very much and hope to see it every month. The Christmas number of the “Advance” is an improvement over the other numbers. We think the cover is very pretty. May we suggest that you criticize all of your Exchanges? Found in the Exchange Column of the Oak, Lily and Ivy of December, 18S4, the following: “When Harvard first opened its doors it had three students, two college seniors and a freshman. In one of Dr. Holmes’ Harvard poems occurs this verse : ‘And who were on the catalogue When college was begun? Two nephews of the president And the professor’s son : Lord ! how the seniors knocked about That freshman class of one.’ ” “The Blue Owl.” You are one of the most interesting papers we receive. We are curious to know why it was given that name. The students of the High School desire to thank the class of 1S87 for the books that they presented to the school on the occasion of their twenty-fifth anni¬ versary of their graduation. The books were: Green’s Short History of the English People, Tennyson’s Works, Representative Poems from Milton to Tennyson, and the Tree Book, and Huffcut and Woodruff’s Cases on the Law of Contracts. 1903. Dr. Elmer E. Thomas, of Northampton, Mass., passed the Christmas holi¬ days with his parents. OAK LILY, AND IVY i5 I9 °S- Mr. Herman L. Dillingham, of Boston, was a recent visitor in town. 1906.

At the recent banquet given to Caruso in Ward 8, one of the waiters was bringing in a lamb’s tongue, and as the tongue slipped accidentally and fell to the floor, Caruso said : “Be calm, fellows, that is nothing but a Lapsus Linguae.” (Slip of the tongue). The guests all laughed. Quirk, who was among the guests, gave a banquet about a week later and had one of the waiters drop a joint of lamb on purpose, saying, when the guests arose in confusion, “that’s nothing but a lapsus linguae ” but as nobody saw the joke he repeated it three or four times, until one of them asked “where was the tongue ?” i6 OAK, LILY AND IVY.

(Editor’s note: The following article is penned by one who has been known, in the musical world, to have carried Professor ' Trebleclefsky’s music satchel and cane for a period of over ten years. It must be remembered, there¬ fore, that he speaks with unparalleled authority and experience. Earnest stu¬ dents should take heed and observe all such invaluable and flawless advice and apply it to both their private and public appearances.) I he constant requests from musical magazines as well as newspapers, beg¬ ging me to offer its readers some professional advice on how to become a virtu¬ oso, leads me to this writing. I have found the general public so charming and responsive, in touring with my Maestro this season, that I cannot refrain Horn considering it my duty to repay them for their hearty and generous co-opera¬ tion. tor is it not they who indirectly recompense me? As my moments are limited, I shall not lose time in introducing myself, but trust that the readers are already acquainted with one so justly celebrated. The object of this writing is not to metamorphose anyone into a Paderewski ora mighty Liszt after he has lead it, but to unfold to him the secrets and ways of many virtuosi and thus en¬ able him to eliminate much time and energy. As to the art of piano playing or more correctly that of piano banging, | there are three chief branches to which one must attend, viz: (i), personal j chaim, ( 2 ), technique, ( 3)1 gesticulation. Of these three, the latter might ap- • pear to the reader to be superfluous, but on investigation we find it to be an es- ‘ sential contributor to success. As to personal charm and attractiveness, I shall • speak of the dress and manners in appearing on a stage for solo work. Never v eai am thing that is in style. A black dress suit in which your arms may 6 OAK, LILY AND IVY. dangle freelv is preferable to any other, as this will match in many cases the wood of your instrument and keep you more comfortable while executing. The hair should be combed backward, a lock or two falling over the ears. If a part is desired, it is without doubt to be in the middle. Under no circumstances comb it on the side. If you have exceedingly fine locks, you will undoubtedly be a sure draw and have many feminine admirers seeking your tufts as a remem¬ brance. Your tie is also of vital importance. It should always consist of a four-in-hand, and the knot should be large and odd. The color most preferred by eminent and contemporary virtuosi is a dark green with yellow and brown spots. The tie may at first prove bothersome but with a little perseverance you easily overcome the difficulty. Your shoes should be a size larger than your walking ones. The secret for such shoes is that in quick passages where skillful pedaling is required, the foot may slip now and then and thus cause a foreign effect. The bow and smile must be carefully and patiently rehearsed ; a mirror is in¬ dispensable. The bow consists of a slight inclination of the body from the hips upward so as to form an obtuse angle of 134 degrees, 11 minutes, 43 seconds. The arms during this complimentary salutation must always remain perpendicu¬ lar to the floor. The smile should not be over-worked and should be used only sparingly. A safe rul e is to use it only after the fourth recall. Another in¬ stance when it is employed with effect is when you have taken the house by storm. It often proves true in the last part of your program during some very soft, soulful pianissimo that some keys fail to respond entirely; in order to side¬ track the emotion experienced by the audience of the instrument’s sudden afflic¬ tion, a smile will do wonders, i. e. it will convey the idea to them of their ina¬ bility to hear such sweet pianissimos which by your nicely cultivated ear are heard without effort. U aving mastered the above points in attractiveness of person to a high de¬ gree of perfection, you may proceed to the pleasurable, actual work on the piano. For a student with a lofty ambition to become a true virtuoso, the amount of technique required is enormous; and the explanation thereof is correspondingly great. A too lengthy recital of the details of preparation might fatigue the stu¬ dent; therefore I shall cite only a few “touches” or key board tricks and pre¬ scribe the physical exercises practised by virtuosi, intended for the development of the hand and arm. Nothing impresses a concert-goer so much as chords and scales. The former are first to appeal and this is doubtless due to the beautilul ringing tones, full and sweet, and to the artistic giace of his arms while playing. These chords consist in swinging the arm lifelesslv back of you with all mus¬ cles relaxed, and then quickly having it fall with closed fist upon the keys de¬ sired. The effect will bring forth from the ecstatic audience, a “IIovv grand!’ 1 or “Isn’t it beautiful!” of enjoyment. A splendid exercise for the acquisition of torce, speed and accuracy is to practise the above “touch” on a picket fence. The object is of course to ring with the partly closed fist the top of the picket quickly and squarely. In the primary stages of this practice you might give vent to an “ouch! ” or be attempted to abandon its continuance; but by no means give up, proceed and in a short time you will have acquired such a facility of ex¬ ecution that you cannot too highly congratulate yourself for your perseverance. OAK, LILY AND IVY. Further employment of this touch is to use it alternately with each hand, start¬ ing at extreme right and ending in the low, sonorous basses. Imagine the grandeur! It’s indescribable. Where in Webster’s can one find words pertain¬ ing to these qualities? People often complain of their inability to stretch large chords of which there are so many in the modern repertoire. By applying what is termed “the longitudinal arm touch” (this, by the wav, is entirely original) all inability to compass their length is eliminated. These stretches are executed by placing the lower arm parallel with the key board and applying the blow by a sudden force of the shoulder. An ordinary table or desk will answer nicely while practising. A charming effect is obtained when this and the foregoing touch are administered together, that is to say when the right hand employs the first touch and the left hand “the longitudinal arm touch” or vica versa. This is most effective in agitato passages where my master uses it unmercifully on the unfortunate instrument. You will without doubt after its employment be re¬ called over and over again to hear the deafening applause of the uproariously de¬ lighted house on its feet to do you homage. Though these tricks will without doubt bring about the desired results, under no circumstances should they be abused nor should you too frequently in¬ dulge in them. I would recommend the use of the piano, during practice, but time and time again, experience has proven that its use is too costly, since, if the ambitious student has practised correctly (i. e. used the piano unmercifully) the instrument will be in such a condition as to need an immediate and most skillful assistance of the professional piano physician. Of course if you are in any wav affiliated with bankers or reputable piano-forte establishments, you can doubtless satisfy their craving for such practice ad libitum. Scales when compared with the countless other technique ones of the piano appear to be quite easy. Therefore few remarks concerning them will suffice. By placing any finger on the tonic note of the scale to be played, and sliding it with full speed to the left or right to the final note as the music indicates, an even, running scale is obtained. In like manner are executed scales in thirds, sixths and tenths in parallel and contrary motion. Arpeggios are also similarly treated. The depression of touch or in other words, the heaviness of playing to which some attention must be given, is regulated bv the different fingers; to illustrate: If a light, soft, “ scherzoso” scale is desired, use the fourth or fifth fingers; if it is to be moderate loudness and character, use the second or third, d he thumb quite naturally is reserved for the most thunderous and grotesque. Having alluded to the gesticulations, such as the swinging of the arms furi¬ ously in back of you, as in chord-playing, little remains to be said on that score. A rotary movement of the head towards and away from the piano, unmistakably conveys a very good and correct interpretation of the rhythm to the audience. It is the most effective and natural means of imparting that necessary informa¬ tion and is used extensively by all great virtuosi in slow expressive passages. Rising slightly from the seat and with a rigid arm dropping the entire weight of the body on the single note to emphasize it, is also a very popular feat although it is sometimes underrated and overdone. Sforzando ' s are rendered by a sudden forward inclination of the body and a violent backward jerk of the head. Beginners are very weak on this movement 8 OAK, LILY AND IVY. and it can only he acquired by constant and earnest practice. Great care should he taken, however, not to dislocate the neck. Sudden kicks at the pedal and vigorous turnings of the music making great rents in the paper will greatly add to originality. By no means assume while playing, the attitude of complete indifference in order to impress your auditors of your ease in conquering diffi¬ culties. By so doing you will miss their compassion for the energy thus ex¬ pended. As the last few words, I would advise you to not visit your hair dresser too often. Read verse that you may become poetical and in hours of meditation when you are building castles with your blocks of musical aspirations, you can improve those hours still more by sharpening your sense of hearing by trying to hear your mustachios grow. Last of all, hut not the least important, when you have reached the heights of glory, read daily the market prices of lemons, eggs anti tomatoes that you may thus he guided as to which cities may he allowed to enjoy the fruits of your arduous labors. A. Di Giannantonio, ’15 Des Kuenstlers Rache. Es waren einmal in Breisach, Deutschland, zwei Kinder, ein Knabe und ein Maedchen. Der Knabe hiess Hans Liefrink und das Maedchen hiess Maili Ruppacher. Sie batten sich sehr germ Zur Zeit dieser Geschichte war der Knabe zwoelf Jahre alt und das Maedchen acht Jahre alt. Lines I ages waren die Kinder am Muensterplatz und pflanzten einen jungen Rosenstock. Als sie beschaeftigt waren, kam der Kaiser Maximilian. u Was mach.t ihr; Kinder?” sagte der Kaiser. u Wir setzen dem liehen Gott einen Rosenstock,” sagte der Junge. u VVas wirst tin werdcn, wenn du gross hist ! ” fragte der Kaiser. “Ich will Kuenstler werden.” Der Kaiser freute sich so ueber diesen Ausdruck class er dem Knahen ein Messer und etwas Geld gab. “Brauche das Geld zu deiner Ausbilding,” sagte der Kaiser. Jahre gingen vorbei. Der Hans hat seine Mutter verloren, Maili die ilne und die Kinder schlossen sich fester und fester aneinander an. Abends wenn Mailis Vater im Ratshause war, sassen die Kinder im Garten hinter tylailis Hatis und Ilans schnitzte ihr schoene Spielsachen. Die Kinder wuchsen wie de. Kaiserbaum, der aus seiner Nische hervorragte. Mailis Vater wollte nicht class seine Tochter mit Hans spiele, weil er arm sei. Daher sahen sie sich nicht so oft. Lines Abends kam Ilans und sang ein Lied unter dem Fenster. Maili ging an das Fenster unci als sie sab class es Hans war, ging sie in den Garten. Die jungen Leute gingen zu clem Kaiserbaum und Hans sagte ihr class er zu Duerer nach Nuernberg gehen werde. “Wenn ich etwas Rechtes gelernt babe, werde ich zurueckkommen urn click zu heiraten.” OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 Nach einigen Jahren war Hans Liefrink vergessen; nur eine dachte an ihn. Die Leute von Breisach wollten einen neuen Altar fuer das Muenster haben; daher sollten die Kuenstler ihre Zeichnungen und Vorschlaege einsenden. Hans Liefrink hoerte davon, waehrend er in Nuernberg studierte und er kam zurueck um seine Plaene vorzulegen. Zuerst ging er zu Maili um es ihr zu sagen. Maili schuettelte unglaeubig den Kopf. Dann ging er zum Ratshaus um den liocli- weisen Rat zu sehen. Der Ratsdiener trat hinein und meldete Hans Liefrink an. Der Ruppacher sagte dass Hans niclit gut genug sei, so ein Werk zu eschaffen, und er sagte dem Diener er solle den Hans fortsenden, aber Hans wuerde niclit gehen. Hans sagte, “Schreiben Sie zu Duerer und fragen Sie nach.” Dann sagte der Buergermeister: “Vielleicht hat er Fortschritte gemacht. Sehen wir seine Plaene an. ” Das Werk gefiel den Meisten der Ratsherren, doch sandten sie einen Brief zu Duerer ab. Nach vier Wochen kam die Antwort, worin Duerer sagte dass sie das Werk in keine besseren Haende geben koennten. Eine Deputation ging zum Hause des Hans und gab ihm den Auftrag. Er ging zu Alailis Vater und bat um seine Tochter. Der Ruppacher lachte laut ueber diese Bitte und sagte: u Nie koennen Sie meine Tochter zur Frau haben.” “H err Ruppacher, ist das Ihr letztes Wort?” sagte Hans. Ruppacher lachte wieder und sagte: “Wenn Sie einen Altar schneiden der hoeher ist, als die Kirche worin er steht, dann sollen Sie meine Tochter haben.” Mit diesen Wortcn in seinen Ohren verliess Hans das Ilaus. Zwei lange Jahre arbeitete Hans an dem Altar, und dann kam der Tag, woran der Altar eingeweiht werden sollte. Die Leute Breisachs gingen schon frueh in die Kirch e um das Wunderwerk zu sehen. Da stand vor ihren schwachen Augen die ganze himmlische Glorie. Gott Vater, und Maria in der Mitte. Der ganze Altar war mit Ranken umgeben, die darueber hervoiragten. Nach dem Hochamt trat Hans hinter dem Altar hervor und gruesste die Leute. Die Leute fragten ihn oh Gott der Vater niclit dem Kaiser Max aehnlich sehe und Maili Ruppacher der Mutter Gottes. “Ja,” sagte Hans, u denn ich weiss nichts Schoeneres auf der Welt, als Kaiser Max und Fraeulein Ruppacher. Dann ging Hans zu Ruppacher der auch in der Kirche war, und sagte, “Wollen Sie mil jetzt Ihre Tochter geben? Der Altar ist hoeher als die Kirche —ich habe die Spitze umgebogen. Der Kaiserbauin hat mich das gelehrt.” Ruppacher hatte niclit daran gedacht. Er hatte immer sein Wort gehalten und er wuerde es jetz auch niclit brechen. Er nahm seine Tochter an dem Arm und fuehrte sie dem Kuenstler zu und sagte: “Ilier, haben Sie mein Kind wie ich versprochen habe.” Drei Wochen spaeter wurden Hans und Maili vor demselben Altar getraut und Ruppacher hatte gelernt den Kuenstler zu achten. IO OAK, LILY AND IVY The Pinch-Hitter. For months he had been “hugging the bench,” as the big-leaguers ex¬ pressed it, in daily hope of winning a place on the “regulars.” Now, in this de¬ cisive game of the series, with the score tied and no men out, he received with joy the manager’s signal to take the pitcher’s turn at the bat. With the outward composure of a tried and trusted veteran of the game, he strolled leisurely from the bench, selected a bat and advanced to the plate. He eyed the opposing pitcher with a look of scorn mingled with anxiety After a series of twists and curves the ball was delivered. The substitute smiled as it passed over a half-foot above the plate. “Strike one,” shouted the umpire raising his right arm. It was not a time for dispute, so the player held in the shower of imprecations, which he was about to hurl at the offending judge. With a dogged determination to let no more strikes be put over on him, he once more eved the pitcher. “Ball one,” shouted the referee; “too far out.” The next ball pitched crossed over the corner of the plate and was judged a strike. Now a smile wreathed the pitcher’s face, and, with a quick windup he delivered the last ball, a tantalizing slow “drop.” Suddenly the batter was seen to leap forward, take a deliberate swing, and meet the ball squarelv with a resounding thump. When the multitude realized what had taken place, the substitute was racing towards third base and the op¬ posing centerfielder was about to recover the ball at the very foot of the grand¬ stand. lie picked it up and made a perfect throw home, but not swift enough to intercept the fleet runner, who had crossed the plate amid a tumultous cheer¬ ing. lie was haile 1 as the hero of the game, but his own reward was of far more importance than the honor occasioned by his long hit: he had earned and received a position on the “regulars.” H. F. J. ’15. February, although the shortest month of the year, is by no means the least important for it is this month which has given to us two of the most famous Presidents of our country; men, who were not only respected and loved by those OAK, LILY AND IVY. i r who might claim them as countrymen and friends, but who will also be revered and honored by men of all nations as long as the history of the United States is known and read. IIow often we feel inclined to grumble and complain at the inclement weather and the disagreeable thaws which occur during this month ! But just as often do we check our pessimistic remarks when there arises before our minds the remembrance of the patience and courage with which our beloved models met the disappointments and discouragements which, at times, seems ready to crush them to the earth. How many and how great were the obstacles which beset the path of Lincoln, the poor backwoodsman, whose entire course at school did not exceed one year and who in early days spent all his time at the hardest agricultural work ! He was not satisfied, however, with accepting the terms of life as they were offered to him, but sought to better himself and im¬ prove his condition by a wise and careful use of all his spare moments. We soon find the simple “Railsplitter,” in his worn and patched homespun clothes, gradually climbing the ladder of success and good fortune, until he has. at 1 ” ' ' ength, reached the goal of all his political desires—the Presidency of the United States. In this new office, just as when a poor boy in Kentucky, Lincoln showed the same undaunted courage, the same perseverance and kindheartedness, the same firmness and sense of duty, the same uprightness and honesty which had been so characteristic of his early life, and which had won for him the beloved title of “Honest Abe.” Washington, too, though able to enjoy many of the privileges and luxuries which were denied to Lincoln, had by no means a life undisturbed by trials and tribulations. Various incidents of his life have been related to us over and over: as, when we were children, the tale of the cherry tree, and the little man’s hon¬ est reply to his father’s question, “Father, I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet.” Growing older, we realized how well the name “Father of his country ” suited him. With the lives of these men before us, during this month especiallv, let us determine to imitate as far as we can their honest energy, pluck and persistence that we may be better able to “make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” f - Class IFiotes.

FROM OUR EXCHANCES a.ToUNM. ' . For the months of December and January w r e have received several new papers which we welcome heartily and are very glad to exchange with. “The Blue and White” has splendid material for an excellent paper. Your OAK, LILY AND IVY 13 arrangement of “Class Notes” is good, each class is in competition for the best notes and as a result you have a good full column. You need a few cuts, how¬ ever to brighten the paper. We hope to have you for a regular exchange. We enjoyed the “Agnetian Quarterly” from Baltimore. It is of greater literary value than any of our other Exchanges. Accept our congratulations on your success. Your stories are all splendid. The Boston English High School. You have a neat little paper. We do wish you could find time to criticise your Exchanges. By neglecting to do so, the Column fails to accomplish that which it should. Might we also suggest that you add a table of contents? More stories, “Tripod”. We are sorry to see that you, too, have the same habit of commenting on only a few of the papers von receive. “Unexpected Callers” is well written and full of life and action. “The Aegis” contains more stories than any other Exchange of its size we receive. “How Arlington watched the Old Year Out” is bright and cheery. We enjoyed it very much. “The Advance” h as made a vast improvement on her cover for January. It is simple and very attractive. This copy is much better than any you have issued this school year. on have splendid class notes, and we thoroughly enjoy your stories. “The Gazette” is an interesting paper. “Going Down the Grand Canyon”, and “Beauty’s Sistei”, are real good for short stories. “That [. Flagg Person” is rather long d-awn out. Why not add a table of contents? Mrs. Susan E.

Johnnie went out to learn to skate, Johnnie returned when the hour was late. Johnnie came back—alas it is true 1 But poor Johnnie’s body was quite black and blue. He’d stood on his head—but not on his feet, He’d sat on his neck—now wasn’t that sweet? One ear was torn off, both eyes a coal black. His feet were all frozen, and broken his back. Next morning to school he came very late, The Afternoon Session ! ! of course was his fate. He got enough zeroes to last him a year, There’ll be skating no more for poor Johnnie I fear! But Johnnie still skates—and of course always will, In spite of his bumps, and his cold and his chill, In spite of the sessions, and big plums galore, Whenever there’s ice, Johnnie’s sure to skate more.

J wo youths were walking along the country road on a bright summer day. 1 he sky was cloudless and they unconsciously sniffed the air fragrant with Indian summer. They were sturdy, robust, with dark brown eyes, that had charmed many a fair damsel; the taller had brown hair, while his companion’s locks were black. They were nineteen and seventeen respectively. Being tired they sat down under a friendly apple tree. A man appeared hopping along on crutches ; he stopped suddenly and listened to the youths, who were singing a duet, the song being that beloved ballad entitled, “I wonder how the old folks are at Home.” I ears stood in the old man’s eyes, as he listened to the youths, who were unaware of anyone being in their vicinity; as the youths broke into the chorus, they became more solemn and the words were not uttered so loud as they had 1 )een before, but rather in the soft voice that a mother uses in crooning her baby to sleep. The song finished, the youths were startled by hearing sobs, and turning quickly, they beheld a man who certainly must have, been strong in his youth; his stalwart, square-built shoulders implied that; but how his strength was of no use for he was without the use of his left leg. He was sobbing bitterly, and his hands j covered his face; the boys, thinking some harm had befallen him, advanced quickly and volunteered their aid. The man ceased sobbing and requested them, • in a stammering voice, to sing the chorus of the song again. The boys, amused J at tin ' s entreaty, did so, and as the man thanked them, he asked them to listen to history. The boys quickly acquiesced and this is what they heard: “It’s the story of how I lost my leg, boy,” he said in a trembling voice; and then breathing a deep sigh, he recommenced. “I was born in a country town in Massachusetts by the name of A-, and as I grew older, I chummed with 6 OAK, LILY AND IVY. a gang that had a bad name; 1 soon learned to smoke, drink, chew tobacco and everything that will harm a young man. J read those cheap novels which told how many country youths, seeking riches and adventures, had departed for the Golden West and had acquired wealth in no time and those who desired an ad¬ venturous life had become cow-boys. I kept saying to myself: ‘Ihat’s the place for me.’ I dreamed nights of finding gold mines and of riding wild, bucking bronchos. I told my parents of my plan; my father became enraged and he sternly told me that for every man that became rich, three or four men gave up their lives, and he kindly but firmly asked me never to bring up the subject again in his presence or it would be very troublesome for me; and by way of emphasis he spanked me. Of course this made me all the more determined to go, and I easily persuaded my chum Bob to accompany me to the West. As we only had about $1.75 between us we decided to do what the heroes in some of the novels had done, i. e., ‘to skip freight’ which means to get on a freight and hide so that the brakemen and conductors may not see you; for if they do, they will put you off and in some cases even cause your arrest. Having come to this conclusion, one dark night we bade adieu to dear old A-, being westward bound on a freight. We easilv eluded the officials, as we were shut up in a box car that contained apples. Arriving in New ork State, a collision occurred between our train and a fast express that killed two of our brakemen and smashed a good many of our cars; we escaped uninjured, the door of our car having been broken. “Not at all daunted by this mishap or by the omen of ill luck, we ‘skipped another freight’ and as we were going over a good line, the brakemen remained in the caboose playing poker ; the only thing they did on that line was to play poker anyway. We arrived in Indiana and Bob and 1 were sitting on one of the cars, singing that song you boys just sang when suddenly the train of cars luiched and stopped, throwing Bob and me under the wheels of the car on which we had been sitting. The train started up again, and that cursed car crushed the life out of poor Bob and also broke my leg. My cries attracted ' the frightened brake- men, who had rushed out of the caboose at the train’s first lurch, and some came over and placed me on a stretcher, while others picked up the remains of dear Boh. We were brought into town as fast as steam could carry us; Bob was given Christian burial in that Indian town. My vigorous exercise had built up an iron constitu¬ tion for me, and although my life was saved, my log was not 1 1 do now 10 � ° from town to town, telling boys my story a nd advising them not to do the same thing 1 did; for God alone knows how I regret it. Boys, I am Bob’s murderer just°as much as if I had stabbed or shot him, because I put that idea into his mind that led him to his death. “Boys, don’t ever think of leaving home without the advice and consent of your parents. Good-bye, boys; let’s shake hands before we lea e each otrier J f and the old man shook hands with the boys, and hopped oft in the gathering twi light, leaving behind him two sadder and wiser youths. Luigi DeCicco, ’14. OAK, LILY AND IVY. HIS “BIG” GAME. Hobbs, the ’varsity twirler, strained a tendon in his left thigh; and that meant that Hall, the carrot-top freshman, would have to pitch the championship game the following day. Hall was therefore slightly bewildered, and the manner in which he was in¬ formed that he had been selected to do the bulk of the pitching the next day seemed to betray a doubt as to his ability to hold the strong Emerson team down ; but instead of making him nervous and over-anxious, it seemed to put him on his mettle. As Emerson took the field and Norton led off at the bat, he had plenty of time to get his poise and make ready for the work that lay before him. A mighty yell of the Emerson crowd rolled across the field as Jones, who was on the slab, handed up the first ball to Young, for a perfect strike, but the next delivery was different, for the bat met the ball with a resounding crack. There was a sharp joyful “Ah!” from the Norton stands, followed by a disgusted “Oh!” for Hawkins had leaped into the air and pulled down his line drive. Price fanned in a hurry and then White died on an easy grounder; and Hall shed his sweater. The cheer leaders brought the Norton rooters to their feet and gave their team a deafening send-off as they trotted out, scattering like a fan. Hall was feeling full of confidence and as he sent the first ball twisting over the inside corner, he was confident that he could, hold the best of their hitters down. Graydon, the first man up, was tricky and had a way of crouching on the high ones; of crowding close to the plate and pushing a hip or elbow into the ball to get his base; and numerous other tricks that make it mean for an inex¬ perienced boxman. But Hall had been warned against him and he at once sent three balls over, that appeared like peas, giving the fellow little chance to get hit even if he had the nerve to do so; Watson did no better and the long-legged freshman finished the inning by forcing young Price to pop out. N ow one of the best pitchers’ battles ever witnessed on that diamond began ; for Jones, peaved by the good work of the freshman, was spurred on and did his best to prove that he was his equal. Eor six innings not a man on either side saw first base, and the crowd became almost frantic with excitement. In the sixth, Clark batted a slow bounder to Richards, who handled it awkwardly and then overthrew in his haste to get his man. and the lucky runner reached second before the ball was returned to the dia¬ mond; things looked bright for Emerson, and grew still brighter when the next man dumped one just inside of the first base line; of course lie was out, but little he cared, for Clark had already reached third. Many persons now believed that it was time for Hall to take a grand “balloon ascension,” as the noise made by the crowd was enough to disturb even a seasoned veteran ; but Hall just dallied to tie his shoe lace, (which by the way did not need 8 OAK, LILY AND IVY. tying), and while he was doing this, he was doing some tall thinking: How was he going to stop the inevitable “squeeze play,” as this was the time to try it if ever? He decided that there was hut one sure way and that was to keep it out of reach of Carlin. It came over shoulder high and smoking hot, not an easy ball for an ordinary man to hit, even if it did not curve; but this one broke; it actually curved behind Carlin’s head. Carlin did his best to hit it but it was behind him and safely in Cady’s mit before he moved, and then too late. Then Cady, quick as a flash, put it into Clark’s ribs as he dove for the plate. The seventh inning passed without a score, then the eighth; and the ninth with two out, and no one on, Hall stepped to the plate and smashed the first ball on the nose for a single; Cameron followed with a rap hard enough to start the stitches, and drove the ball almost to the club house. At the crack of the bat, Hall started—over second—passed third and on to home—and scored a second later by a beautiful slide; hut Jones settled Cady’s hash and the inning ended with Emerson one run to the good. The last inning there was nothing but Hall, for he got rid of the next three batters via strike-out route. The immense crowd rose as one and cheered Hall, then Cameron, the college, and then Hall again; in a few minutes they had Hall and his team-mates on their shoulders, and starting the famous snake dance that finished at the club¬ house, reluctantly let Hall down. It is needless to say that one Charles Hall owned the little town way up in Worcester County that evening. E. L. H., T 5 . -v— 4 In The Squared Ring. We usually sparred and shadow-boxed down at the “Gym,” me and the Kid. He knew me like a book and I knew him just as well for we were pals. V e never boxed so as to get hot-headed and hurt each other, for he wouldn’t hurt me, nor I him. Late in the winter “Ole Man” McCarthy came along and hooked the Kid on the stage in a boxing sketch and ever since I hadn’t seen the Kid. He was my pal and I felt lonesome as he was square and “true-blue.” I kept on with the “ Gym” work until a year later I “signed up” with Malone to enter the ring as a “pug.” I had to beat a few of the third-voters ’fore I was put in the “lime-light.” Then my climb up the ladder of Pugilism began and at the top was the Championship. Every day I worked hard and trained faithfully under the “scrutinizin’ ” eves OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 of Malone, my manager. Some time after Malone signed papers with the “Champ” for a bout and a twenty-five thousand dollar purse. The champion’s name was “Duke of Manchester,” an’ he came from “across the pond,” they said. The night of the bout I sat in the dressing-rooms, nervously listening to Malone’s orders, ’fore entering the ring. Then my trainers put me into the best of condition for the battle. All was hubub and confusion. Next thing I remember, I entered the ring with my “robe” thrown over my shoulders. The air was thick with smoke, sent forth by the men who were massed around the ring. The buzz of many voices was in my ears. ' The men looked me over to see what chance I had with the “Champ.” A nightly roar went up and some one said to me, “The Duke’s crawling thru the ropes.” Cheer followed cheer—really, he received a great welcoming. The men in my corner stood in front of me, waving towels, to set the thick, blue tobacco smoke from me, and therefore I could not see the “Duke of Manchester.” At last T heard the referee announce us and then—the gong sounded! Then it was that I saw the Champion the first time and as I stepped out to the center of the ring, I was astonished to see the Kid! My old pal back to life, for I thought him dead—and he was the “Duke of Manchester!” And I was to battle with him in a finish fight! As we clasped hands in the rniddle of the arena, it was a genuine heart-felt and loving hand-shake. We were delightfully surprised to see each other. We could not say anything as the crowd and referee were watching us. We stepped back and feinted, then we “clinched.” I whispered, “Gee, Kid, I didn’t know I was to fight you. Let me lay down, old pal!” and he answered, “Neither did I know it was you. No, Bob, let’s play the boys fair, ’cause they’ve got money on us! Fight as you never fought before, pal.” We were still in the “clinch” and the crowds started to hiss and the referee cried, “Break!” We danced around each other watching for openings, and thus we sparred, feinted, struck and side-stepped away. For seventeen rounds, we fought, our mouths open, our breath coming in short gasps and our faces swollen and streaked with perspiration. When the gong struck for the eighteenth round, I stepped to the middle of the ring, and the Kid met me there with a blow to the solar-plexus. This made me angry—my fighting blood was up and dozedly I swung my right for a “jab” to the jaw and—the Kid—went down like a log! Poor Kid! I watched him roll over and crawl to his knees and then—1 was supposed to hit him and give him the “knock-out pill.” ’Twas a tough moment for me—I couldn’t hit him — didn’t have the heart! The crowd hissed and howled, “Fake!” so I shut my eyes and swung my left hook and—then I heard “8, 9, 10;” I felt the referee raise my arm and heard him proclaim me the next Champion. I, myself, I picked the Kid up, and carried him to his corner and tried to revive him. Then a doctor came and put his head down on the Kid’s chest, still wet with sweat. Fie lifted his head slowly and looking at me, said, “It’s his last fight. He’s dead!” I could not believe my own ears—dead? The Kid dead? No! It could not be! I raved and tore away into the crowds and “Lord knows” what became IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. of me then, for I knew nothing for four days. My grief was deep and sincere. I mourn the Kid today—the best man that ever lived. I quit the game ever since, my days and nights have been filled with regrets and remorse, for the squared circle did not play me fair. A.

I 2 The months of January and February brought us some splendid Exchanges, most of them old friends, with whom we were glad to renew our relationship, and a few strangers whom we heartily welcome and hope to see again. The Alumni number of the “Blue Owl” is good but the present members of Attleborough High can turn out a paper that is difficult to improve. I he edi¬ torial is straightforward and well written. For thoroughly interesting stories the “Palmetto” heads our list. We en¬ joyed it very much and have nothing but the warmest praise for each and every department of this paper. “The Magnet” is very good this month. Make your Exchange Column a little longer. For description, “King Winter” is splendid. Beverly High School (“The Aegis”) has an interesting continued story, “Gunner Anderson’s Furlough.” We think you have reason to be proud of such a paper. The various columns are complete. “Variety is the spice of life” and “The Advance” certainly has it along the line of covers. Rather conspicuous but neat. “Letters from a Guardian” is great and was evidently written by one who had had experience in that sphere. Your jokes are also good. “The Imp.” A peculiar name but a splendid paper. You have an abundance of good stories. Taken as a whole you are a “cheerful little Imp.” “The Tripod” has “some story” this month—“Big Medicine.” ' The author is gifted—gifted in the art of fabrication. Your paper would look nicer if it were smaller and thicker. Well, “Philomathe,” we thank you for the criticism of our paper; we know it was kindly meant though it certainly was sarcastic. Your cover is very pretty. We enjoy your paper and are interested in it, because of your nearness and the friendly relations that have always existed between us. “The Megaphone” is very prompt and we have received it every month. It has been criticised each time and we have nothing more to say. It is always exceptionally good. Welcome! “Cue,” it seems like old times to see you once more, good paper and we hope we may receive it each month. You have a OAK, LILY AND IVY. 13 “The M. H. Aerolith” has so much German that we get only one-half of its value, but that half is really good. “The Chronicle” is an extremely neat paper. You have a very clever method of criticising your Exchanges. “An Encounter of the Air” made us sit up and take notice. Come again, Chronicle. Although the “H. S. Herald” has rather tiny print, it is a splendid paper. “The Hero” is great! Also, “Sambo’s Valentine.” We welcome a new Exchange, “The Tahoma” from Tacoma High School, Washington. The paper is one of the brightest we have received. We are very glad to exchange with you. “Inquest Unnecessary” is the best article in “Mount Saint Joseph Collegian.” You need—and need very badly, some cuts. Your new cover “Red and Gray” is very neat. We always enjoy reading you. “The Only Way” is very interesting. “The Distaff.” You have a clever lot of students as shown by the January number of this paper. The appearance of it is pleasing. 1900.

He knew that the road was not too long, and courageously he set out, with poetry and song in his heart. After many miles of weary wandering upon the mad of the Medivere, he found himself before a wonderful palace, the Palace of Three Halls. As he gazed upon it with admiration, a second voyager came up and spoke cordially but with a sigh, “Good day, brother. Would that I felt as carefree as you look. ’Twere scarce worth the trouble to live in this unhappy world.” “What thought!” laughed the hopeful one. “Is that not a beautiful pal¬ ace yonder?” “Let us enter.” “Aye! beautiful enough without but a very tomb within,” rejoined his companion. “However we must endure it whether we will or not.” They passed through, an arch of diamonds, white and sparkling, which cast their scintillations along the corridors of the first hall where, upon a throne of marble, sat Death. The walls were of alabaster, cold and severe, modeled in the most strict of architecture, save where a fantastic frieze of pearls caught the eye coquettishly. The great pillars were dark and gloomy; the monarch frowned. Weird, discordant music broke in barbarous harmony through the stillness. The stones clashed, rushed in sonorous melody, modulated and ceased with a cord like the laugh of a demon. “How terrible!” murmured one. “How majestic!” breathed the other. But hark! The clear notes of a flute tumble forth from the dark vaults; a single topaz sends its warm glow down upon the twain as in a blessing: lilies spring up about the throne of the dark ruler, and nodding brush softly against him. In an instant, he is changed, no longer a wretched monster holds the nceptre; a little child laughs, nestling among the cushions of the im¬ perial chair. The bright wings of angels cast a gracious light above him as they chant Hosannas. 6 OAK, LILY AND IVY. The traveler bowed reverently, and passed on. The mournful one followed; he had not seen the transformation. The second chamber was hung with long gray tapestries of satin, extending from the beetling balconies above to the very floor below, which was cushioned with delicate mosses, save where a silvery gleam betrayed the presence of a tiny lakelet, scarcely discernible among the shadows. Great clouds of vapor obscured at intervals the soft light of the great swinging lamps. Occasionally, a chill breeze led the traveller to draw his cloak about him; yet even as he shrank from the cold breath, again the light emerged from dismal mist and wanii zephyrs played about him. From the protecting moss, violets crept forth, to listen to the melodious serenading of the birds and from the grasses trooped the crocuses to ridicule the sobriety of the scene. The traveller turned to hear the complaint of his friend who tugged at his shoulder, muttering, “Let us pass from this damp dungeon.” “It is good for us to be here,” he whispered in reproof and went his way, still listening to the gay chirping which bade him farewell. The man at his side had neither seen nor heard. Now they had entered a garden, a paradise, scarcclv deserving the title of “hall,” in its free, illimitable expanse. The warm sun shone upon tall rose hedges, broken by canals through which gondolas glided sleepily; upon lakes where floated swans in motionless dignity; upon islands which seemed but great clusters of blossoms. Willows hung grief-stricken over the waters, yet iheir sorrow was in itself beautiful. No breeze disturbed the hazy still¬ ness. Perfumed by myriads of flowers, the atmosphere hung heavily, and while it was not unpleasantly oppressive, possessed in a delicate degree a slightly opiate qualitv. Once the path was crossed by a golden pheasant, who made his way in¬ timately among the bordering shrubs. Together the two strolled for hours, now across rustic bridges, now past quaint pagodas; sometimes in the brilliant light of a caressing sun, again ’mid groves of pine, through which rippled songful streams. Twilight grew on and the great moon rose, a pot of silver, pouring its contents out upon the landscape. A lone nightingale sang. From afar the voices of gon¬ doliers chanted in unison with the undulations, which plashed softly about them. To breathe, to think, to dream, amid the scenes of this Eden, was to the traveller life,—life in which the reverie held no discontent. A discordant voice broke in upon his thoughts: “A false step on these dark banks would mean death. There is a gate yonder. I shall seek again the high way.” The unfortunate creature departed, conscious only of the petty dangers, but the traveller tarried. He had found his Land of Romance in the beauteous dominion of Spring. F. Holmes, T5. Phil “What! Why, gentlemen, you flatter-.” “Say, for pity’s sake keep quiet, will you? How is a fellow going to study?” OAK, LILY AND IVY. 7 that moment was adorning the window seat with his graceful (?) figure and re¬ hearsing an imaginary speech. “Study!” exclaimed that youth; “did you say ‘study’? Why my dear Dick- ums, I had no idea that you, you whom I have tutored with the greatest care, would stoop so low as - “Oh say! simply because you can bluff along and get - “Bluff along!” a pained expression came over the face of Elmer who got up off (or rather rolled off) the window seat just in time to dodge a book. “Bluff along! I’d like to know who is the-.” At that moment the door opened and about six fellows rushed in headlong, banging the door after them. “What’s up?” asked Dick. A very fat youth who was called Speck (Elmer declared that he should have been called “Blot” instead, because he was a blot on the landscape) began breathlessly : “Phi-Phi-Phi. Gi-Gi-i-r -.” “Say this is no place for a dog fight,” another fellow broke in,—“Phil Grey has been at it again. He’s -.” “Y-y-yes” interrupted Speck, “He’s p-pup-pup -.” “Don’t take it so hard, Speck,” said Dick consolingly. “W-W-well he’s pup-pup-.” “What my small friend wishes to impress upon you is the fact that Phil Grey has painted the flag-pole up at N- a bright blue, and were going to -.” “Yes, we-we’re going t-t-t-to r-r-r-r-r-r,” expostulated Speck. “Don’t growl so loudly; it gets on my nerves,” shouted Elmer above the din. “What are you going to do to him and when are you going to do it?” he demanded. “Were going to punish him in the way that is most convenient for us the first time we get hold of him,” explained the leader. “Well, now is your chance. Here he comes now.”—This from Elmer who had been near the window. In a second, regardless of chairs or tables, they rushed out of the room and attacked the unsuspicious Phil. With eight against one, Grey did not make much of a fight and he was borne away to Dick’s room. Here they commenced operations at once. First the victim was laid on his back across the window-sill, and the window was pulled down in such a way that half of his body was outside and half inside. ; A tunnel had been fastened in his mouth and into this a fellow from the window in the room above poured pitcherfuls of water. When they were in the midst of this performance, a teacher entered and -. Enough said. The results can be jmagined. It was later learned through good authority that Phil Grey had had nc hand in the painting. R. Lilley, T 5 . s OAK, LILY AND IVY. An Amateur Sleuth. A young messenger boy was sent to hotel one day with a despatch and while waiting for an answer he overheard the conversation of two loungers in the lobby, who were discussing the mysterious death of a wealthy gentleman who had been murdered at his home not long before. The night of the murder the victim had received a caller early in the even¬ ing. It was the butler who answered the door bell; and after the visitor had pre¬ sented his card to the butler, it was in turn presented to the master of the house; the stranger was invited to step into the library. The butler did not read the name on the card, neither did he see much of the man because he had his cap pulled low over his eyes and the collar of his coat turned up. Later when the butler came to lock up the house, he found his master dead in the hall. All the occupants of the house were at once aroused. They then telephoned to the headquarters of the Police Department and told them what had occured. Detectives and policemen were soon put to work. The only person that was heir to the murdered man’s fortune was his nephew who was nowhere to be found. The nephew had suddenly disappeared the night the crime was committed. The man who had murdered the wealthy gen¬ tleman had taken several notes from the safe and he would be caught if he tried to pass any because the numbers of those documents were all known. The police began to suspect the nephew of the crime and at once set to search for him; but they could not find him. Any one would be able to recognize him because his middle finger on the right hand was missing. The messenger boy could stay no longer to hear the rest of the conversation of the two men, because he had received the answer to the message on which he had been sent and they told him to hurry back to deliver the reply. On his way back he thought a great deal of what he had overheard and especially the numbers of the notes. One day he had been sent on a message to a village a little outside of the city. After he had delivered his message, he thought he would take the next train home. While he was waiting for his train to pull in, he noticed a well-dressed gentleman carrying a dress-suit case and a cane; he remarked also that he wore kid gloves. The boy’s attention was at once called to the fact that although the stranger car¬ ried the dress-suit case in his right hand, the middle finger of that hand stood straight out, while the others clasped the handle. Immediately he recalled the facts of the conversation of the two gentlemen and he decided to follow this suit¬ case man. The man bought a ticket for another village not far from the one which he was in. The messenger did the same. On reaching their destina¬ tion, both alighted from the train. After he had left the station, the man peered about cautiously, to see if anyone was following, but there was no one but a small boy who would run through every puddle he came to. The boy followed him until he came within a few yards of a house which the older traveller entered. The mes¬ senger boy knew the people that lived there because he had gone to school with OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 their boy. He went around to the back door and there he found his old chum sitting on the steps. They got talking and after a while the messenger boy asked him about his boarder. The chum recounted how mysteriously the new¬ comer acted because he wanted to take his meals in his room and could never be induced to take off his gloves. The messenger boy, after he had found out all he wanted, went down to the telegraph office and telegraphed to the headquarters of the Police Department. «i � J f vl � ! J vl m yjv n Dear reader, the most complicated plots must, in the interest of poetic justice, work themselves out to a logical end; we consequently feel that for the second and last act of this drastic drama you will experience scant difficulty in conjuring up as a fitting climax your most blood-curdling vision of the—Electric Chair. J. H. McCONNACHIE, T 5 . The Championship Game. The remarkable ability shown by both teams throughout the season had awakened a lively interest in the outcome of the final contest. Consequently every available space in the bleachers, grandstand and sidelines was occupied long before the umpire, with a wave of his hand, bade the pitcher to start the game. The home team was in the field. As the first opposing batter was not an es¬ pecially brilliant player, no trouble was anticipated from him. But as the next man advanced to the plate, the fielders changed their positions, running back several feet; for the center-fielder then at bat had the reputation of being a hard hitter. Their precautions were, nevertheless, unnecessary; for a mighty cheer from the loyal home rooters gladly announced an ignominious strike out. The third man up was thrown out at first and the home team trotted in from the field, cheered encouragingly by their supporters. Pandemonium reigned when the first man up knocked out a clean single. But joy turned to gloom when a double play was neatly executed and the third man struck out. In the first half of the second inning, the opponents managed to get men on second and third, but despite their greatest efforts, no runs came in. In the last half, the home team got three hits, but still no runs. So things continued until through the ninth inning and the umpire announced that extra innings should be played. In the eleventh, the tide turned. The first man up knocked out a double. He was followed by the much-dreaded center-fielder, who proved his worth by driving out a timely single, thereby scoring his team’s first and only run. For the next two men were struck out and he himself was caught trying to steal home. The home team ran in to take their places at bat with a “do or die” expres¬ sion of countenance. Their determination to “hit it” proved itself potent, when the weakest man on the team hit out a high fly. But their center-fielder made a remarkable running catch and the batter was out. The second man up fared better, for he placed a clean hit directly between second and first base. Before IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. the ball was recovered by the right fielder, the runner was safe on first base. The shouts were deafening. He stole second as the next man was thrown out. Then with a deliberate step, the pitcher stepped to the plate, now he was not usually a hard hitter, most pitchers are not, but he had been relied upon often and had proved worthy of the confidence reposed in him. So it was with a spirit of assurance mingled with anxiety that the fans saw him select his bat and face his opponent. However, what doubts they had were immediately dispelled when, selecting one which suited him, he swung around and met it full in the center of the hat. There was a brief glimpse of a ball speeding over the left-fielder’s head and the next moment it was rolling down a slight incline and the fielder was speeding “hot foot” after it. One runner had crossed the plate and the other was just rounding third, when the ball was recovered. Before it could be thrown home, the second runner had crossed the plate and won the game, also the pennant for his home team amid a tremendous cheering. H. F. Jones, T 5 . School IRotes. Lecture On Thrift, On March 11 , Mr. Harry S. Kimball, Field Secretary of the Massachusetts Savings Insurance League addressed the student-body in Assembly Hall on “Thrift.” Besides many pointed illustrations of the value of the old-fashioned virtue of thrift, Mr. Kimball threw some interesting sidelights on life-insurance which, he declared, could not preserve one against loss of life, but could never¬ theless guarantee to our bereaved families some return in money for the outlay of the four or five thousand dollars which it costs to bring up the average pupil to high school age. Senior Hop, The annual Commencement Hop of the Senior class will be held in town hall, Friday evening, May 16 . Collins’ famous singing orchestra of Marlboro will furnish the music. Annual Congressional Debate. A debate on a bill favoring the immediate granting of absolute independence to the Filipinos will be the discussion on the evening of May 9 , when the annual public session of M. H. S. Congress will take place in Assembly hall. A gold medal will be awarded on that occasion and at a recent meeting of House of Represen¬ tatives, it was announced by Dr. Derry that as a result of the competition con¬ tinued throughout all private sessions this year, those who will make the public OAK, LILY AND IVY. addresses will be Alfred Coppinger, ’ 13 , Henry Schooner, ’ 13 , and Luigi DeCicco, ’ 13 , in the affirmative and opposition will be led by Ralph Luce, ’ 13 , Luigi Sancle- mente, ’ 13 , and George Caldicott, ’ 14 . Clifford Jackson, ’ 13 , will preside as speaker pro tem of the House. Al¬ ternate speakers as announced by Dr. Derry are Frederick Holmes, ’ 15 , John Con¬ way. ’13 and Ralph Ward, ’ 14 . At the last session, by a more than two-thirds vote, the House adopted woman’s suffrage. This was in response to effective pleas for the bill by Francis Mead, T 5 and Cecil Howarth, T 5 . Vincent Minon, T 5 and Arthur Schooner, T 5 , were the leaders against the bill. Nicholas Santosuosso, ’ 12 , a former member of the House, addressed the members at the last session. He congratulated them on the progress the Congress has made over the tentative begin¬ nings of last year. He told of the great advantage which his knowledge of debating, gained at Milford high school, had afforded him in his collegiate work at Norwich Uni¬ versity. The Exchanges for March lie before us, And we cordially greet each old friend, The first on the list is “New Era” It’s good from beginning to end. The stories and verses are clever, But give us more jokes—if you will— And a little critique of our paper, That it may become better still. Here’s the “H. S. Herald” from Westfield, It’s columns are carefully done, “An Easter Story” is splendid, “A Rash Boast” ’s another good one. We welcome a stranger, “The Bon Bon,” And hope to exchange now with you, The print in your paper is tiny, Some more cuts you need badly too. Yes, here’s a school paper from Plymouth, It always appears right on time. But why not express vour opinion Of all papers that you think are prime? “The E. Pi. S. Record” from Boston, A table of contents sh ould add, And also a column—exchanges, OAK, LILY AND IVY I 2 You’re paper has never been bad. “The Megaphone”—pride of all Franklin! Has some nice cuts—especially good, But the columns are really quite jumbled, And not clearly combined, as they should. “The Tripod.” You need some more stories, A number of jokes—it will pay, And the paper will then be as clever As your story “The Reflected Ray.” We again greet the “St. J. Collegian,” Your paper is good, we believe, Yet “Exchanges” would like it much better If you’d comment on each you receive. “The Palmetto,” College For Women, Remains on its usual high plane, We enjoyed it at the Milford High wSchool, And we trust you will soon come again. “The Voice” has improved in this issue, It’s brighter than ever before, We wish you success in your paper, For you’ve talent about you “galore.” We welcome the paper from Houghton, The stories are certainly flue, But arrangement is not very clever, Editorials first, please, next time. From Leominster High comes the “Magnet” A familiar and thrice-welcomed friend, Do you criticise all your Exchanges? The book as a whole we commend. “The Imp” from the good Brighton High School, We enjoy—it’s certainly bright, “Our Ten Commandments” is splendid, The departments are really all right. If you want to read some good stories, Get the paper from Beverly High, The plots are really quite gripping; Can you beat them? It’s no use to try. “Blue White” needs more cuts, quite badly, The stories are brief—that is true, Yet “Paragraphs” better than nothing, But next time—We’d like “stories” from you. Now the stack of our books is demolished, If you’re paper is not in this rhyme, It’s because we haven’t received it, But remember! ! We’ll get you next time. As Others See Us. “ ‘Shivers and Shavers’ in the Oak, Lily Ivy is a very amusing ghost story, a s might readily be thought from the title. ‘A Marnerian Fantasy’ is another such story, but written in a very different style.” The Tripod. OAK, LILY AND IVY. x 3 “We received The Breccia, The Tocus, The Crescent, The Oak Lily Ivy. These are good representative magazines, and we are glad to have them come to our desk. As we see it, their chief characteristic is their vigor and freshness. This is particularly true with reference to the Exchange department. The Exchanges, though ofien confined to a single sentence, are always concise and to the point. The stories, while not dealing with deep laid plots, etc., attract because of vivacity, and, though we have used the word before, we make bold to say again, perhaps. They rdiow originality and we value them because of that.” The Palmetto. “The Oak, Lily Ivy, is one of our most welcomed Exchanges. Please come again.” The Voice. “Oak. Lily Ivy, Milford, Mass. You have an exceedingly attractive cover design. We thank you for your kindly criticism and will try to profit by it.” The Aegis. “Oak, Lily Ivy. You have a very attractice cover and interesting stories.” The Amygaloid. “The Oak, Lily Ivy is a very neat and well arranged paper. We would sug¬ gest, however, that the Exchange Editor in giving the names of the Exchanges would also state where they are from. The cuts are very good.” The Blue White. “Oak, Lily Ivy.” (Milford High School, Milford, Mass.) Your paper is very pleasing throughout, and we are glad to receive it. Most of the departments are well filled, but you seem to be lacking in editorials and class notes. Among all your wealth of good material we especially like the lively, breezy, but at the same time helpful, write ups in the exchange column.

Adapted and modernized from “Hamlet’s Soliloquy.” To study or not to study: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The zeros and sessions of unmerciful teachers, Or to take arms against a sea of bibliography, And by opposing it? To revolt; to cease; No more; and, by the cessation to say we end Anaemia, and the thousand natural shocks That the student is heir to, ’tis a consummation Devantly to be wished. To revolt, to cease; To cease, perchance to toil; ay, there’s the rub; For in that cessation of study what toils may come, When we have shuffled off this present drudgery, Must give us pause: there’s the respect That makes calamity of student life.

Schultz-—Only that women want to vote. Dr. Derry, in English B.—King, what does “inscrutable” mean? King—Not able to be scrutinized. Dr. Derry—What does that mean? King—Something that can’t be scrutinized. Coppinger to Lang—If your clock went too fast, how would you regulate it? Lang—By lowering down the pendulum. Coppinger—Why do you say lowering down? Lang—Because it’s the right way, you wouldn’t say “lowering up” would you? Lofty Senior, to Freshie—Well, smarty, how much is 3 hens and 4 horses? Freshie, quickly—Seven. Lofty Senior—Winking solemnly to his friends—Seven what? Freshie—Wisely—Seven animals.

Other Soph, doing Geometry—Say, do we bisect that line in the middle or not? Heard in Room 10 , at recess—Say Ralph, what’s Germany noted for? Thats’ one of the questions we’ve got today. Ralph L—Oh, limburger cheese, I suppose. We were all sorry last week because Phipps was sick with a cold; when asked how he contracted the cold, he replied—I was down in the basement and Conway kept on whistling and so created a draft.

McNamara—Yes, all but one. Schooner—Well, I believe that some fortune-tellers relate truth. Not long ago one agreed to tell me something about my future for a dollar.

Few writers have recognized the dramatic talent of a select little community through which most of them wander daily. In fact, Rob Gunnison, who told me this story, would not have noticed it had he not taken a trifle too much cham¬ pagne and spent fully three quarters of an hour in the village staring stupidly down its streets. He saw twenty-eight inhabitants as usual, but looking as he was throug h magic glasses,—or to be more explicit, wine glasses, he found new interest in their life and plays. They are an accommodating set, for if the spectator inter¬ ests himself in Latin romance, he finds in each a most pronounced Roman type ; and what could be more fitting for a modern society novel than twenty-eight actors and actresses of the diamond type? The road to their settlement is very simple. Gun¬ nison simply opened his dictionary to the third page, and by the time that the forty-five minutes had passed he had become well acquainted with the quaint and tiny personages who dwell in the proportionately small village of Alphabet. But we must proceed with the story, lest our readers mistake this effort for a treatise on typography. It seems that the nobility of Alphabet moved to dear old London on the Thames for the winter session of Parliament and that is where all this nonsense took place. Lord B, a fat, pompous old fogy, whose summer home is the second residence in Alphabet, rose unsteadily from the breakfast table and smiled at his wife. Then lie scowled to preserve his dignity. “Very important bills, must be on hand,—dis¬ cuss them this morning.” To his valet and page: “J, send the limousine to the door, haste!—very important,—they’d miss me.” To be sure, Lord B had never taken action upon any of the bills proposed for the last twenty years, but had faithfully slept through debate after debate, patiently awaiting the adjournment. Neverthe¬ less he fancied himself a great factor in British politics, and never absented himself from the House. “Very well,” pursued his better half, paradoxically the Lady R, 6 OAK, LILY AND IVY. “Very well, I shall spend the day with Lady V.” His Lordship grunted and left the room in a strangely irregular path. In the meanwhile, J had taken care that the motor was exactly at the door¬ steps, and leaving the rest of the matter with the chauffeur, had looked up his friend I, a servant of equal rank in the service of Lord G. Three raps from the Lord Chancellor’s gavel summoned order in the House of Lords, and discovered Lord B and Lord G in the corridor. The latter entrusted a packet of documents to I with many an admonition, for he had spent unnumbered hours in preparing the data for Bill 678 . Lord B in blissful ignorance of 687 , or any of the 600 , politely cursed at the discovery that he had left his spectacles at home. As disturbed as though he could not see to sleep without his glasses, he des¬ patched I in haste after them. That good and faithful servant winked at I slyly and with so much meaning that half an hour later, both were lost to the world in the recesses of his Lordship’s wine closet. Not so lost, however, that they did not ven¬ ture soon after into the street, in a sad condition. There was pandimonium in the House when 427 was brought up and Lord B slumbered on without the assistance of his spectacles, save when the Lord Chan¬ cellor struck the desk a particularly vicious blow, and roused him from his slumbers. Gravely nodding and frowning in shameless hypocrisy, he at once fell asleep. Not so with the young alert Lord G, who fidgeted in his chair as the crucial moment ap¬ proached. When the clock had ticked 1872 more times, he figured bill 687 would have his most urgent attention, and twisting his bristling mustache he reflected. Seventy-two ticks were already ticked, before he noticed that I was nowhere in evi¬ dence. “He’ll be back within those 1800 ticks,” observed His Dignity, but by the time that only fifteen hundred remained, he was greatly disturbed and rose to search out the recreant among the corridors. Upstairs, downstairs,—lobby, House of Commons,—all gave the distracted member naught but increased anxiety. The brave mustache drooped, the shoulders were contracted. Lord G was frantic. And two peculiar figures were being piloted into port by a full fledged policeman. All the ticks had passed before His Lordship rushed, breathless, to his seat. The gavel fell thrice and the speaker rattled out: “Bill 687 . Resolved, That Thames River excursion-boat captains should be allowed to wear ivory rimmed spec¬ tacles.” Lord H had already placed his square form upright and was volubly ad¬ dressing the chairman. Lord H chewed his words in an unpleasant jumble as if they were burned onto his flat face, but they were very palatable words. And I with one hundred of the most fluent arguments was still navigating under custody of the trus¬ ty j who wore at this time his patron’s spectacles. As for “I,” he was the better for his excursions by one of Lord B’s most elaborate gowns. Lord H waxed eloquent; he perspired: Lord G remained silent; he wilted for he thought quite as deeply and much more warmly. One of his colleagues glanced expectantly at him. He glared back and wondered if the keeper of the Tower would rent a dungeon to him, or lend him a rack for I’s especial edification. ’ 15 . OAK, LILY AND IVY. 7 “General.” So far as cats go, our “General” is sedate, dignified, a sort of Spanish cavalier kind of feline: tawny of color, yet with a very white breast which always makes him seem in a full-dress shirt. Whether his early youth spent in an Episcopalian rectory gave his temperament its present intense gravity or not, I can not say; but there are times when, like a good many other boys, he vividly forgets his early training in manners and morals. It is at such times that “General” pays earnest attention to the vagrant cat strolling across our lawn without apparently any specific business. Gen¬ eral approaches and suddenly the intruder remembers an engagement and darts off to fulfill it. General also devotes diligent and undivided scrutiny to any neighbor’s dog that scurries too near him, even when with no intent but that of friendliness; for there have been times when even dignity was no defense to canine insolence, and in a flash, General has dropped dignity, elevated tail and back and darted to safety. Perhaps you may be curious to know what our General looks like. Imagine a large, impressive pussy, tan and yellow striped even to the end of his tail, white chest that even includes a white collar and necktie. Oh, yes, he is quite a clerical cat, excepting when he does not get out of the cold quick enough and then he hops onto the outside window-sill and swears faintly and persistently until he is let in. Of course, I know it is swearing, for he makes the same kind of faces that some boys do when you catch them smoking cigarettes on the sly and hear what they say. General is really quite a fine gentleman. He never argues back. He keeps ex¬ cellent hours and when by chance he gets locked out all night, he is so very penitent about it next morning, that we feel guilty ourselves for not having whistled louder to get him in. He is dainty in his ways and has not a few tricks. He will sit up and beg for food like a trained dog; will jump reproachfully over your arms if you in¬ sist, or will stretch himself when unusually hungry along the pantry door, to show how tall he is. He will also softly wake the members of the family, if they sleep over a certain hour, by gently purring over their faces and then pulling the bedclothes. He is not a very superstitious cat, for I have known him to sleep just as sound on top of “Jack the Giant Killer” or the “Rats of Mycene” as on an ordinary “Farmer’s Almanac” or a catalogue of “Excellent Garden Seeds.” One of his traits, and with this I will stop before I tell them all, is his strict honesty. We may go out for the entire day and leave meat, milk, fish or any other dainty of his diet on the table, and it is not even approached, no matter how hungry he is. We feel he is very trustworthy and a very important part of the home at 44 llancroft Avenue. Corona Blaisdell, 1916. s OAK, LILY AND IVY. A Queer Adventure. One very hot day I sat in the burning sunshine gazing languidly around at all nature which seemed scorched and curled as if by the blast of a huge furnace. I was thinking of the poor sheep suffering from the want of that most necessary of all necessities, water. When I came to Caspara the fields were green; in the little valley there was a reservoir of water well fed by the mountain streams and deep enough to keep the land fertile and to supply a large flock of sheep. At first all had gone well and I was even amassing a fortune. I had a good breed of sheep and kept them together by the aid of four intelligent sheep dogs. Among these dogs was “Nick”, the oldest and wisest, a dog which had been given to me by the former own¬ er of the ranch. As I have said, all had gone well at first; now, there was nothing but a dried up hole to show for the fertile fields, fat sheep, and reservoir. As I looked up from my reverie I saw one of the servants watering the dogs from what little water remained in the well. All the dogs except Nick licked up their water, whined, and cried for more. Why didn’t Nick drink? The question made me ponder on the dog’s actions of late. His tongue had never lolled nor had he whined and yelped in the night as the other dogs did. One morning when I had been up extra early, I faintly remembered seeing him slip into his collar. Then as if to question the dog himself, I called him to me. His hair was damp! How could he have gotten into such a condition? Was it possible that he was using our last supply of the fluid in some secret way? As these questions came into my mind, I decided to look into the matter. I asked all of the servants if they had noticed Nick doing anything unusual lately. None knew anything about him except old Pete, the veteran herder, whose face brightened when I questioned him about his favorite. He had seen Nick one night about eleven o’clock, slip his collar and sneak stealthily toward the mountain. He suggested that we watch him. The idea seemed foolish, for where could the dog find water? Hadn’t I searched the mountain side and found nothing? Vet evidence showed that he had found water; so we decided to follow him that very night. It was eleven o’clock, all was still and as yet nothing had happened. We were beginning to be discouraged when Nick’s head slid cautiously out of the door of his kennel. He peered around and then as if satisfied that the coast was clear and Oudini-like, drew his head out of his collar. He shook himself, stretched, and started toward the mountain at an easy lope. We followed at a safe distance but with difficulty for the animal seemed to take the hardest paths, over rocks, through bushes and briars and up steep cliffs. Now he was in sight and then he would disappear. We followed with fervent haste, rushing blindly over the ground in our fear of losing sight of what we now considered our guide to water. Suddenly Nick disappeared; we rushed on, expecting to see him on the other side of the rough hillock over the top of which he had so suddenly disappeared. I OAK, LILY AND IVY. 9 was ahead, but when I reached the top the dog was not in sight. On I rushed un¬ til suddenly I felt myself slipping; daylight vanished, I dropped through damp murky blackness; splash, I felt something cool. What was it? It was the pre¬ cious water which by some freak of nature had leaked from my reservoir into this underground chasm and had been discovered by Nick. Forrest Grayson, ’ 14 . With the sun now drifting down all day from dawn till dusk, and the sooth¬ ing, balmy air inviting us to stay outside, even when our eyes are heavy with the call of sleep and rest, we are poignantly reminded that school is swiftly drawing to a close. But before the portals of the Milford High School, in June, bar entrance un¬ til September, the present editors of the Oak, Lily and Ivy, will have closed their ac¬ counts with the school paper, and will have handed on to the new board the editorial penholders, old and well-chewed perhaps, but with clean, new-pointed pens. It is with this number that we bow our adieux and so we wish to thank all who have striven to make straight the editorial path. Perhaps we have not reached the heights of expectation, but we have tried, and our efforts will, we hope, bear fruit some day, somewhere, in ways and manners now undreamed of. To the new editors we ex¬ tend our heartiest wishes for success, and we trust that they may have in their labors that which we have so fully enjoyed, the loyal support of the student-body and the alumni. School litotes. High School Congress Prize Debate. The second annual public prize debate for a gold medal, the gift of a friend of the school, was held on the evening of May 9th, in Assembly Hall at eight o’clock. The bill before the House provided for the immediate grant of absolute independ¬ ence to the Filipinos. The discussion in favor of the bill was led by Henry Schoon¬ er, ’13, Luigi DeCicco, T3, and Alfred Coppinger, T3. The speakers against the bill were George Caldicott, ’14, Luigi Sanclemente, T3, and Ralph Luce, T3. Clif- IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. ford Jackson, President of the Senior Class presided. Music was furnished by the High School Orchestra, and during the retirement of the judges, the High School Glee Club, under direction of Miss Elizabeth McNamara, gave a concert-exhibition of classical and popular airs. The judges were Superintendent Atwell of the Hopedale schools, Principal Masterson of the Blackstone high school, and Prin¬ cipal Richards of the Holliston high school; a beautiful gold medal was presented by a friend to Dr. Derry, to be awarded to the young orator who should show the greatest command of logic and the most developed mastery of literary expression. On behalf of the committee of judges, Supt. Atwell announced the unanimous ver¬ dict conferring the gold medal on Alfred Coppinger, T3 ; to Henry Schooner, ’13 was accorded the second distinction of honorable mention. Senior Hop. Socially and financially, the Senior Hop of 1913, in aid of the Library Fund, achieved the most conspicious success of any public entertainment ever conducted under the auspices of the Milford High. On the evening of May 16th, Town Hall was transformed into a fairy bower by the elaborate decorations in the class colors, green and gold. Wide streamers from the zenith shed lustrous radiance from the roof; hidden electrics accentuated the brilliance at effective points. Round the galleries, on a background of bunting, college pennants, reminiscent of recent alumni, were unfurled in dazzling arrayunder the north gallery a combined drawing-room and cozy-corner were tastefully equipped. Here before the dance, the faculty of the school held a formal reception, and with the members of the class gracefully officiating as ushers, nearly the whole company of guests paid their respects at the receiving line. The music was by Collins’ famous singing orchestra of Marlboro, and their artistic reputation was well sustained throughout, even to one o’clock, to which hour, in compliment to the strikingly successful work of 1913 and to the enthusi¬ astic multitude of the alumni in attendance, the festivities were, by special favor, prolonged. To Clifford Jackson, President of ’13, and Alfred Coppinger, ’13, chairman of the main committees in charge, is due in large measure the proud fact that 1913 has outstripped every preceding class in full half a century. When all the bills are in, it is expected that the net proceeds will all come close to 190 dollars. Added to the results of the Senior entertainment earlier in the year in Assembly Hall, the total of 1913’s contribution to the upbuilding of our school library is about $220.00. Senior Roll of Honor. In the award of the much coveted Commencement Honors, Albert Gonfrade, ’13, secured the highest distinction, the Valedictory; his average rank for four years’ work was 91.9 per cent. Mr. Gonfrade has followed a combination course of commercial and college preparatory work. The contest for first place has been closely fought out for four years, and it was only at the last moment, when the complete returns were in, that the definite outcome could be safely con¬ jectured. Miss Mary Hickey came a close second, with but three-tenths of a mark behind the victor, her average being 91.6 per cent. The third honor went to Miss Marion Gaffny for 90.8 per cent., and Miss Julia McCarthy, who was OAK, LILY AND IVY 11 awarded fourth honor, had as an average 89.1 per cent. The class history, prophecy and poem will be awarded as a result of a competition in which vari¬ ous members will submit parts. Two original orations will be selected from among the speakers who have distinguished themselves at the High School Con¬ gress debates. FROM OUR EXCHANCES B.TuWIVtft. ' . I I In this, the last number of the Oak, Lily Ivy in which we have an op¬ portunity to criticise our Exchanges we wish to congratulate each and every one on the success they have achieved in editing their various papers. V ith very few exceptions, they have all improved every part of their editions, and we have received some splendid papers. We would suggest that the Exchange Editors leave a complete list of their Exchanges so that the new editor can renew old acquaintances without delay or confusion. You have our hearty best wishes for an equally prosperous year in 1914. We have received for April and May the following papers: “The Blue and White,” Franklin, Mass. “The Register,” Boston, Mass. “The Imp,” Brighton, Mass. “The Sassamon,” Natick, Mass. “The Aegis,” Beverly, Mass. “Mt. St. Joseph Collegian,” Baltimore, Md. “The Blue Owl,” Attleborough, Mass. “Agnetian Quarterly,” Mt. Washington, Baltimore, Md. “The Chronicle,” Hartford, Conn. “High School Herald,” Westfield, Mass. “Magnet,” Leominster, Mass. “Philomath,” Framingham, Mass. “The New Era,” East Hartford, Conn. “The Cue,” Albany, N. Y. “The Archon,” Dummer Academy, So. Byfield, Mass. “The Index,” Southboro, Mass. “Gazette,” Lynn, Mass. “M. H. Aerolith,” Plymouth, Wis. “High School Review,” Toccoa, Ga. . “The Advance,” Salem, Mass. OAK, LILY AND IVY. I 2 “Tahoma,” Tacoma, Wash. “The Tripod,” Roxbury, Mass. “The Blue White.” We thank you for your kindly criticism, and as you will note, we are profiting by it. We would suggest that you have your “Class Notes” in the back rather than in the front of your book. We criticised you in our last issue and have only this one to make at this writing. “The Register.” You need some cuts to brighten your paper. “A Vacation Experience” is rather good. For a Latin School, your design on the cover is very appropriate. “The Imp.” We always heartily welcome the “Imp,” and hope you will con¬ tinue to cheer us with your presence not only for the remainder of this year, but in coming years. We enjoy you hugely. “The Sassamon.” Your cover is neat and attractive. This edition is an im¬ provement on your last copy. The stories are splendid. “The Aegis.” You have a few good stories in this edition, but the majority are extremely crude. Sound like the production of a grammar school student. We are sure your pupils can do much better along the line of stories. “The Poultry Busi¬ ness” was really funny, and we enjoyed it. We criticised you before about mixing your advertisements in with the jokes, and we hope next year you will decide to im¬ prove your paper along that important line. “Mt. St. Joseph Collegian.” We have a friendly feeling for you and have thoroughly enjoyed your paper. Your stories of the colored race have always been very clever. “ I he Blue Owl.” We like your idea of having all the advertisements in the back, rather than in the front of the paper. It gives a neat appearance. The Ex¬ change Column is especially good, and is certainly in competent hands. “Agnetian Quarterly.” You always have splendid material for your paper, but it is in too solemn a vein for an ordinary High School paper. It is of course very good, but certainly is not appreciated. “In For The Finish” is the best kind of a story for a school, and it was very nicely done. “The Chronicle.” If we were to rate you on a scale of 100 per cent, we cer¬ tainly would give you 90 plus. “High School Herald.” Your editorial and Exchange columns are very good, as well as the other portions of the paper. The jokes are bright. “Magnet.” Your editorial is good, but the Exchange column is rather brief. There are some very clever stories. “High School Review.” You are minus an Alumni Column in this number. We do not like your cover, it is too dull. “The Advance.” Your cover is very appropriate. We especially like your edi¬ torials. “Tahoma.” You are the best exchange we receive. “The Novice” is very good. It would be difficult to improve such a splendid paper. “ I he Tripod.” Your appearance gives one the impression of monotony. You need something bright and clever for your paper. “ The New Era.” In your Exchange column you are rather brief as compared with the length of the other departments. In regard to your criticism about us, we think that a brief criticism is much better than none at all. “Thoughts of an Orator Orating” is very good and certainly true to life. “ hhe Cue.” Have a very clever way of rating your Exchanges. Your paper is medium, but the Exchange Column is by far the best. OAK, LILY AND IVY. l 3 “The Archon.” We are very glad to welcome the Archon and think you have an attractive paper. You should have a table of contents. The Locals are extreme¬ ly clever. We hope you may be a regular Exchange. “The Index.” You have a cute and peculiar cover. Your literary department is very good. Can you not allow a little more space for the Exchanges? “The Gazette.” Your cover is not very pretty. Locals are brief and lifeless. We are sorry you had the misfortune to get the matter so mixed up, but we realize it was the fault of the printers. Accidents will happen, and we can only make the best of them. “M. H. Aerolith.” The English section of this paper is not as good as last month, but of course the German may make up for it in added attractiveness. We do not remember of receiving a single criticism from you this year. As Others See Us. “How To Become a Virtuoso In a Comparatively Short Time Without Effort” in the Feb. Number of the Oak, Lily and Ivy is very clever. It is seldom that one finds as long an article of this sort that does not grow tiring. Never having studied German we appreciated “Des Kuenstlers Rache.” We didn’t know what it was about, but it was very interesting. Your Exchange is good. THE CUE, Albany, N. Y. Your cover is delightfully simple and attractive. INDEX, Southboro, Mass. The baseball team thus far is playing the finest of ball and up to date has lost but one league game.

Now our High School days are over, And we sadly say good-bye To our classmates, friends, and teachers, And to thee, dear Milford High. We will meet life’s battles firmly, For thine honor we will stand, As the class of nineteen-thirteen, Staunch for school and native land. As we leave thy halls and classrooms, Where four years slipped quickly by, We have learned that in our duty Sweetest pleasures often lie. Teachers kind, we wish to thank you, As we bid a last adieu, For the many lessons taught us, Kindness, truth, and honor too. Though we’re rudely torn asunder, Though we’re scattered far and near, We, the class of nineteen-thirteen, E’er will love thee, High School dear. Round thee, Alma Mater, cluster Memories of by-gone days, And may God in benediction On thee shed Heav’ns brightest rays! Lorana F. Henderson, T3. 6 OAK, LILY AND IVY. I. Salutatory—Chivalry: The Ideal. Parents, teachers, and friends, we, the members of the Class of 1913 of the Milford High School, welcome you with joy to this, our festival of graduation. Indeed, it is with a deep sense of gratitude we greet you to-night. For four years past, you have toiled for us and with us, with untiring endeavor in order that we might creditably complete our high school course. How much your many un¬ selfish sacrifices on our behalf, dear parents, how much the patient instructions of you, our teachers, and the kindly interest of all our friends have contributed to our success, we fully realize now, on the eve of our departure from school-life. By way of appreciation, therefore, we have chosen to give this evening some proof of what we have accomplished in our school career. We sincerely hope we shall not disappoint your fond hopes and expectations. High above our heads to-night stands emblazoned the motto of 1913, the phrase, “without fear, without stain,” that sums up the age of chivalry, the ideal our class has set itself to attain. Upon the heroic vision which those words disclose, our exercises to-night will hinge. The distinguished statesman, Edmund Burke, once declared that the age of chivalry was gone. “Never, never more,” cried Burke “shall we behold that generous loyalty to rank and sex.—The unbought grace of life, the cheap de¬ fence of nations, the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprise, is gone!” Now with that declaration of the illustrious orator, we of 1913 propose to take issue to-night. We shall briefly examine the spirit of chivalry at close range, we shall illustrate its direct influence on literature and life, and we shall finally point out what the class of 1913 hope to attempt in reaffirming those ideals in our day and generation. Now what ideal did chivalry express in its picturesque past? Chivalry is one of those words which can only make us feel what they mean; we are unable to clothe our feelings in a definite form. Someone has graphically explained chivalry as the “flower of feudalism.” Yes, it was like unto a rare blossom grow¬ ing up amid the thistles and thorns of the feudal age and ennobling everything about it by its exquisite beauty and perfection. Chivalry, the military institution, probably first sprang from the seed which the great warrior, Charles Martel, sowed, when under his direction the Franks were engaged in repressing the Saracens in Aquitaine, and first learned to “put their trust in horses.” For the word “chevalier” or hero of chivalry first meant a warrior who rode a horse, warriors bold and brave, warriors who knew not fear. It was left, however, for an age somewhat later than Charles Martel’s to produce warriors whose watchwords would be “without stain” as well as “with¬ out fear,” and whose very lives and actions would be based thereon. At the dawn of the age of chivalry, the Normans were ravaging the coast of France; bands of plunderers were roaming recklessly over the fair plains of the south; the powerful and rapacious barbarians from the north knew no restraint; the weak were everywhere oppressed and wronged. In fact, the barbarian invasions OAK, LILY AND IVY. 7 present as complete and terrifying a picture of massacre, bloodshed, and crime as history anywhere records. But necessity has ever been the mother of invention. From out of the very depths of confusion, strife, and carnage arose a meagre band of nobles bent, at all costs, on subduing the barbarians and restoring order in the civilized world. These noble knights leagued themselves together with the holy purpose of re¬ dressing wrongs and defending the weak; they gave their hands to one another in a solemn pledge that they would never turn back from the work and they called upon St. George to bless their righteous cause. Upon such a noble enterprise, the church readily pronounced its blessing, and with this added encouragement, the spirit of chivalry gained double strength and it was not long before chivalry, in all its splendor, had spread over the whole of France, and made the barbarian desert to blossom like a rose. And what a glorious institution chivalry became! In nobility of character, in elevation of purpose, and in picturesqueness of form, chivalry is without parallel in the annals of time. For what aim, what motive could be higher, worthier, more soul-inspiring than the vow of the knight: “To speak the truth, to succor the helpless and oppressed, and never to turn back from a foe!” Chivalry itself was a school wherein every human grace and virtue might be acquired. Fidelity, clemency, courtesy, and courage were among the require¬ ments. When cruelty, treachery, cowardice, untruthfulness, or any of the baser vices attempted to gain entrance, the door was immediately barred upon their approach. The sons of chivalry, the knights-errant, were God’s and nature’s truest noblemen. No brutes, no cowards, no traitors—they; but each a prince “Who reverenced his conscience as his king, Whose glory was redressing human wrongs, Who spake no slander, no nor listened to it, Who loved one only and who clave to her.” To-day, chivalry, in its outward form has completely vanished from view, taking with it all its fineries, the embroidered doublet, the helmet and the lance. But its immortal spirit lives among us still, and we never fail to feel its presence in the courtesy and self-possession, the deference and respect for others, the modesty and gentleness of manner, the truthfulness and loyalty, the magnanimity and fidelity to the plighted word, the characteristics of the true lady and the true gentleman, the ideals of the class of 1913 . Mary E. Hickey, ’ 13 . II. Chivalry: The Knight. Chivalry and Knighthood, as you have just heard, represented the fine flower of Feudalism; the Knight was the Christian gentleman at his best. Gazing on that finished product, the Knight of the Age of Chivalry, we naturally ask through what processes of development that finished product passed; what training had s OAK, LILY AND IVY. the knight received? What system of education produced the glories of that era when knighthood was in flower? This instruction began when the knight was yet a mere child. At seven years of age, the knight-to-be was sent to the castle of the greatest nobleman within many miles of his childhood home. Up to that time he had been under his mother’s watchful care. But now having attained the mature age of seven years, he assumed the vast obligations attached to the arduous duties of a page. And this at seven years of age—mark me well—that period at which young America assumes the stupendous responsibilities attached to learning to play marbles, or to master the national game. Well, at this age, the age in which small boys think the world a very small place and themselves the largest and by far the most glorious factor on the globe, the cynosure in fact of every¬ body’s adoring eye, little Mr. Knight went with all his greatness to the castle which was to be his home for nearly fifteen years to come. As page, his duties were confined mostly to the castle. Although he performed many little tasks suited to his age, his chief functions were to wait on table and to carve. Besides devoting much of his time to work, he was all the while busily engaged in ac¬ quiring all those refinements of civility which go to make up courtesy, the “un¬ bought grace of life.” The ladies of the castle strove to educate him in re¬ ligion, etiquette, dancing, story-telling, playing the harp; they endeavored above all to impress indelibly upon his mind the principles of generosity, faithfulness, purity and truth. Now, clothed in the mantle of squirehood, he looked with scorn upon the days when he was a page. It was but play for him now to carry and to use implements of war. But to think of the way he first handled a lance! It was enough to make even the features of such a dignified person as a squire relax and curve into a smile. And what an awkward position he assumed when he first mounted the prancing steed, the fiery creature that had been in the possession of the owner of the castle for fifteen years. Nevertheless, after seven years of effort, he succeeded in being the most graceful rider of all the boys who formed the school. But this happy con¬ dition of affairs was not due so much to his brilliancy, but rather to the ladies and knights who trained him with so much diligence and care. The life of the squire, as you may well suppose, was not one continuous round of pleasure. But this does not mean that the squire’s life was entirely devoid of agreeable diversions. It was his special privilege to accompany his knight on the battle field,—a pleasure he was obliged to forego when he was yet a page. This was a rare treat for him, for was he not some day to be a great and chivalrous knight like the one whom he now followed? But, treat as it appeared to his youthful mind, it was in reality an object lesson in the use of the manly and martial arts. Now he saw the practical application of the theories he had so often heard before. But, as yet, he was only a spectator; soon he was to be a participant; for after he was knighted, he was to take up his sword and shield ready to do and dare. The ceremony which made him a knight was peculiarly impressive. In OAK, LILY AND IVY 9 gay procession he was brought to the chapel where wines and spices were served. Aftci the feast came the fast. Our candidate for knighthood spent twenty-four hours in fasting and prayer, and during the night he knelt alone in the church before the altar on which his armor had been placed. The next day he was taken to the castle hall. Dressed in robes of sparkling white with a sword suspended from his neck, he knelt with folded arms before the officiating priest. He was asked his motives and purposes in requesting admission to knighthood. Imagine the solemnity of the scene when the clear ringing voice of the knight-to-be vibrated in the air with promises to defend religion and ladies, to succor the dis¬ tressed, and ever to be faithful to his companion knights. Then his armor was handed to him. When he had donned the last piece of it, the lord or priest officiating struck him three times with the flat of his own sword on the shoulder. This act or accolade was accompanied by the words, “In the name of God, of St. Michael, and of St. George, I dub thee knight; be brave, bold, and loyal.” Thus finished the training of the knight. The result was a young man, polite and truthful, brave, frank, agile, and strong. Therefore, it is fitting that to this chivalry which has produced such men, men who under the united influence of religion, loyalty, and love were the perfect embodiment of courage in the face of every foe, of clemency to the conquered and of courtesy to all, it is fitting, I say, that we of 1913 should look with unwearied gaze for guidance and inspiration. Marion I. Gaffny, T3. III. Chivalry: The Achievement. The best definition of the word “rest” is, not a portion of time spent in idle¬ ness or dreaming, but a change of occupation or of whatever, at any time, en¬ gages the attention. A change from the grim facts of modern times to the thrilling story of the age when heroes were clad in gleaming and glowing armor, and mounted on fiery chargers, heroes who were not made in a night, but after long and arduous preparation,—such a change is soothing and refreshing to the mind. To revive for a moment that age of splendor, to live over in brief recollection the inspiring exploits of Christian knighthood, gives tone and tem¬ per to the human will; youthful hearts cannot feel the touch of heroism without leaping high to emulation. Some of the greatest deeds of the knights were their work and achievements in the crusades. Now, the spirit that prompted and inspired the pilgrims to set about the conquest of the Holy Land was not entirely religious. The returning pilgrims, in addition to relating the insults and abuses which the Saracens heaped upon the Holy Sepulchre, painted such enticing word-pictures of the Orient that the eyes of Westerners were almost blinded by their pious exaggera¬ tions. In their strong faith, they believed that Heaven would be merciful to them if they died on the crusade; if they were fortunate enough to live, wealth IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. beyond the dreams of avarice seemed within their grasp. In such spirits and high hopes, the Crusaders departed for the East. Likewise the knights saw visions of ideals in the “far off pastures that looked green,” and dreamed that there they could win their highest ambition—their spurs, the engravings on their shields and the other insignia of a glory that should never fade. That the knights had remained faithful to their vows of knighthood, where¬ by they had sworn “to succor the helpless and the oppressed,” is proved by the organizations which sprang up among them while in the East. A Burgundian knight, whose sympathy had been roused and heated to red-hot fervor and en¬ thusiasm, when he beheld the Saracens continually and savagely attacking the journeying pilgrims, formed an agreement with eight other knights to protect the Christians. The organization took up its abode in Jerusalem, near the tem¬ ple of Solomon and was named the “Knights of the Temple.” During the second crusade, they were of great help to the crusaders, sheltering, feeding, and fighting for them, and it was at that period that the opportunity to show the true substance of their order, knocked at their door. A leading role in the third crusade was played by Richard I of England. In memory of his father, he took up the cross and embarked for Antioch, with the same purpose which led the other crusaders. He was also a knight and strove to keep his fellow-knights ever conscious of their vows. But the name most revered and cherished in the hearts of all those ac¬ quainted with chivalry is the name of King Arthur, chieftain of the Knights of the Round Table. He succeeded his father as king in a peculiar way ; when the time came to choose a ruler, the people, whose faith was as fixed and firm as a mountain, prayed for a sign from Providence, by which they should know whom to choose. Immediately, in a rock outside the church appeared a sword; whoever should be able to remove it, was looked upon as the choice of God. Many knights attempted to accomplish this feat of strength, but in vain. It remained for the modest Arthur to try his skill, and much to the amaze¬ ment of all witnesses, the sword left its place. So Arthur was crowned king, and proved himself to be a just and beloved ruler. His Round Table was com¬ posed of the most honorable and valiant knights, whose deeds are read and reread always with the same enthusiasm. There was Sir Percival, “whom Arthur and In ' s knighthood called pure,” Sir Galahad, the only one of the seekers of the Holy Grail, whose eyes were gladdened by that holy vision of delight; Sir Gawain and Sir Bohort, and Sir Launcelot, “the most courteous knight that ever bore shield ; the kindest man that ever struck with sword, the goodliest person that came among press of knights, and the sternest knight to any mortal foe that ever put spear.” The original Round Table existed a long time until, as with everything mortal, death broke one tie and the others loosened one by one. King Arthur had been se¬ riously wounded in a combat and on the following day three beautiful ladies, guid¬ ing a barge appeared across a lake, first they seemed like a mere speck, then as they drew nearer, their outlines became clearer and more distinct until at last they reached the shore, and taking King Arthur into the barge, brought him to some land—far beyond the horizon. In turn the other knights, too, passed beyond the OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 Great Divide, leaving to posterity only the memory of their thrilling and courageous deeds. The exploits of the knights, the achievements of the Crusaders lifted the in¬ sular knight from the life in a backwoods European town to the theatre of world¬ wide experience. And we to-night, stepping out upon the world’s great stage, feel that in visiting thus the domestic hearths of our forefathers and rehearsing their heroic exploits, our hearts have been strengthened and our imaginations exalted by this brief but inspiring memory of Chivalry and all it has achieved in the defense, uplift and regeneration of the world. Julia J. McCarthy, ’13. IV. Chivalry: The Romance. Literature, in its broadest sense, is merely the expression in writing of the thoughts and emotions of man, the written production of one’s mental life. Ef¬ fective literature, however, must of necessity involve other factors besides mere expression. Among these, and of immense importance, is an abundant display of fancy throughout the literary production; for fancy or imagination, that mov¬ ing picture power of the mind, is a most potent element in literature and is the source and soul of that department of literature called Romance. It is not difficult then for us to understand why chivalry has played such a conspicuous part in the literature of so many lands. The chief characteristics of chivalry and the chivalric age were the love of glory, the noble devotion of the knight to his lady and the desire for the clash of arms. Here, indeed, was an open field, where the imagination or the literary fancy of a writer could roam at will. v In the twelfth century there sprang up in France two distinct classes of poets, the Troubadours and the Trouveres. The Troubadours were minstrels of southern France and were the first to discard Latin, and use the native lan¬ guage in their verse. They sang of tournaments, joustings, chivalry and love. The Trouveres, however, sang exclusively of chivalrous histories such as those of Charlemagne, of Arthur and the Round Table. When chivalry was at its height and commanded universal admiration, its efforts were directed against the enemies of religion. It was only natural there¬ fore that fables and stories of noble deeds and piety should he composed, to excite increased emulation. Charlemagne and Arthur were the two heroes chosen for laudation. From the middle ages onward, the original adventures of these two kings, have been steadily added to, and form a fund of traditional lore which indeed has exerted a profound influence on the literatures of England and France. In Spanish literature, too, knighthood struck its roots far and deep. In fact, it may be said that on Spanish soil Chivalry produced the best work of fiction in any tongue. Who has not read and laughed over the famous creation, Don Quixote, the knight of the rueful countenance? Don Quixote was written in Spanish by Miguel de Cervantes for the sole purpose of ridiculing what are OAK, LILY AND IVY. I 2 known as Chivalric Romances. Besides its superb literary value this book is important because of the thousands of later novels for which it was a prototype. The effect of chivalry on literature, however, was not confined to a few tongues. Throughout the whole of Europe, in courts and castles, picturesque and adventurous tales of war and love, of single combats, and perilous quests were recounted for over two hundred years, while the crusades were going on. When the age of chivalry was in full bloom, the people delighted in chivalric romances both in verse and prose. Then in the early part of the 15 th century, when the decline of chivalry was evident, Sir Thomas Malory, an English knight, composed a prose fiction which is popular even up to the present day. This book is called “La Morte D’Arthur.” Malory’s book received instant favor in England and was popular for over one hundred and fifty years. Since then it has been the fountain from which countless chivalrous tales have poured forth. Among these are “The Faerie Queen,” Spenc¬ er’s celebrated literary work, an allegory which was inspired by the story of King Arthur and the exploits of his illustrious knights. Though chivalry as a literary motif declined after the Elizabethan age, the in¬ fluence of chivalry on literature could not long be suppressed. In the early part of the 19 th century, Sir Walter Scott revived its popularity in such novels as “Ivan- hoe,” the “Legend of Montrose,” “Kenilworth” and “Rob Roy.” Southey turned back to the old chivalric legends of Wales, and Wordsworth also reverted to the noble age of knights and ladies for his themes. It remained, however, for a modern English poet to point out to us the possi¬ bilities of chivalry as a source of romantic literature. If chivalry had inspired no other literary production, Tennyson’s “Idylls of the King” would have justified the institution. This poem is one of the most popular of all the literary works studied in our educational institutions today, and we of the graduating class will always look back with delight to the pleasant and profitable hours spent in reading this chivalric tale. And so, from the Middle Ages, when knighthood was in flower, and the modern languages were being formed, down to the present day, the tales of chivalry, the dreams and ideals of the chivalric age have been chronicled in the literature of every land. The romantic stories of knightly adventure, of love and war have thrilled the poet’s soul in every age, and they still evoke an answering echo from the depths of generous hearts to-day. We are the heirs of all the ages, and as the nobility of knighthood is one of the precious legacies of the race, writers, orators and the world’s sweetest singers will, amid generations yet unborn, ever find in chivalry a “well of poesy undefiled.” Henry Y. Schooner. ’ 13 . V. Chivalry: The Knight of To-day. The age of chivalry is gone, vision of those armored knights Never again shall our eyes be gladdened by the who inhabited the massive castles of old. ' The OAK, LILY AND IVY. r 3 stories of Arthur and the Round Table will be food indeed for poets in the future, but their function ends there. The old era of chivalry is dead, but its spirit, its soul, its knights and its warriors continue to live to-day. And even at the present hour, men win their spurs and are knighted as in the days of Romance. Yes, the spirit of chivalry is living, thrilling, energizing with dynamic power in the modern world, and it will be my duty to prove to you that no preceding age pro¬ duced more valiant knights than the heroic leaders of thought and achievement who adorn our present age. Now, by surveying the landscape of past history, let us dwell for a moment at some of the landmarks of Romance. Here we see the knight-errant, who is “hard-up” and cannot pay to mend his broken helmet or buy a new lance. Similar is the man of to-day whom we call a sport; but instead of being unable to mend a helmet, he is sometimes unable to pay for his everyday suit of clothes. In another spot we see a greedy baron who is as interesting to study as his double, the millionaire of to-day. These two knights are the extremes, but between them lie thousands of men who scorn to do a dishonorable deed, the man who, as we have heard to-night, reverences his conscience as his king. This type of knight was the knight of valor in the days of Chivalry, and a man of the same mould makes the ideal citizen of to-day, whose works and deeds will ever remain an abiding inspiration to future children of the republic. This evening, I do not intend to dwell on the glorious knights of old, but on the true modern knight, the ideal citizen of to-day. Now, the Modern Knight is the man who toils, the man who thinks, writes, works, invents, discovers, in short, the man who produces his bread with the sweat of his brow, from the exertion of his mental or physical powers; such a man is not only an aid to himself but an uplift to the human race; such a man owes the world nothing, still the earth can never pay him her debt. He is not a parasite or a cumberer o f the earth, but a prop, a post, a column of magnitude and strength to our government and to his fellow-man in every clime. Such a man is the Modern Knight. You may batter, you may rend,you may destroy the outward appearance but the in¬ ward texture will remain forever. When you recall the deeds of the ancient knights, few will be found so inspiring as the deeds performed by the Modern Knights. Think of those modern knights, the men who have attempted to conquer the air in frail crafts, the men who have died in order to find a remedy for human disease, the men who have turned their faces northward and after disappointment and disaster, planted the stars and stripes on the north pole; think of the men who have lowered themselves thousands of feet down an active volcano for scientific exploration ; think of the men and even the women who have carried religion and education with them into the uttermost confines of the earth, that all the nations under heaven might be brought to a knowledge of the true God. These deeds were accomplished by men who led strenuous lives, who did not idle away their time in sports, but who did what an old philosopher advised, “shun pleasure and keep company with knowledge” ; “they shunned delights and lived laborious days.” The Modern Knight, furthermore, he who knows the truth, stands for the truth, H OAK, LILY AND IVY. and fearlessly confronts all coiners who deny the truth. Truth alone is strong but when it is taken up by a strong man, he becomes the most formidable of lancers. Before his lance go down those poorly armored opponents, the unscrupulous poli¬ tician, the oppressive employer, the unfaithful employee. Classmates, let us, therefore, go armed with knowledge and truth and seek our cup of happiness, not along the lines of ease derived from wealth and idleness, but in the grim, stony labyrinth of toil. Let us pick up our shield upon which is em¬ blazoned our motto, “Sans Peur et wSans Reproche,” let us enter the lists, meet and overcome each and every opponent in vice, ignorance, wealth, luxury, and vicious ease. There remains much to be done. Great reforms lie before us, both political and social. Politically, we must have more genuine democracy; only by eternal vigilance shall our government of the people, by the people and for the people permanently endure in our midst. As we go forth to-night, the outlook for chivalrous service beams brightly and beckons us on as never before. We shall hitch our wagon to a star, as Emerson ad¬ vised us; we cannot sit down, like Alexander, and weep because we have no other worlds to conquer; much yet remains to be done, whole worlds are awaiting to be subdued; the political world, the financial world, the social world, the moral world, the whole universe of thought and action is crying for reform, crying for builders to boost up the right, to batter down the wrong. Classmates, opportunity beckons us on; and thank God the age of chivalry is not dead! As long as there is a wrong left unredressed, and a man or woman left to say, “I will redress that wrong, or spend my life in the attempt,” the age of chivalry is with us still! Alfred S. Coppinger, C3. VI. Chivalry: The Knight of To-morrow, with Valedictory. Our class has been considering to-night the education, life, and character of the heroes of the days of chivalry, when knighthood was the flower of the age. We have heard what noble virtues chivalry embodied and what a majestic ideal of the heroic character the knights of old achieved. In other terms, knighthood was simply a synonym for loyalty, unselfishness, courtesy and justice at its best. These, indis¬ putably, were the characteristic qualities of the ideal knight of the 14th century, but do not these same virtues live and thrive to-day? Do they not make up the whole worth of the men we most admire? The answer is within our own grasp. All around us to-day, we can find men whose sole object in life is to aid others,to be loyal to su¬ periors, courteous to equals and compassionate for the weak; and who combine in¬ vincible strength and valor with justice and modesty, faithfulness and truth. With this type of men, we, the class of 1913, must strive to come in closer touch. It is for us to implant in ourselves the spirit of the old chivalric days, and do our OAK, LILY AND IVY. , 5 allotted tasks without fear and without reproach.” We, fellow-members of 1913, we are the Knights of to-morrow. Now that these traits of the chivalric character have been depicted to us, along what channel shall we, as members of the present graduating class, guide our efforts, in order to obtain the most successful results? What means should we employ to reach this lofty ideal of the heroic stamp ? In every age, young hearts have throbbed with hopes and fears, young lives have felt alike the joy of triumph, and the gloom of defeat. But from gloom, as from triumph, may come a strength of purpose and a manliness of character that show, in the gentleness of life, its true chivalry, and in its thoughtfulness for others, the noblest and most helpful deeds. Again, the habit of industry and perseverance which is in no wise alien to the dominant spirit of chivalry, must be cherished and nurtured with care. It is the loving labor at one’s own task that makes a man a thorough scholar. It is incessant practice which makes a man skilful at a game. And why is all this? Apparently because our nature is so framed that in this way only can any knowledge or skill, or art, or faculty, be so worked into us as to be completely ours. To see how to do a thing is not enough. The power of really doing it, implies that the needful skill shall have penetrated us through and through until we do instinctively, almost mechanically, all that is needed for the purpose—until the little trifles which are so absolutely necessary to true success, cease to demand attention. Enthusiasm, too, must not fail to be cultivated, as it is one of the chief quali¬ ties that the knights of old possessed. They were enthusiastic in whatever kind of work they were called upon to perform. Though enthusiasm is largely a matter of vitality, health and strength, yet, if we can get out of our own brain the foolish feeling of complaint, of mortified vanity, we shall be clearing the field for enthusi¬ asm to grow. So it is evident that all days may be chivalric, that the age of chivalry may be made to dawn again. For, as truth and honor, courtesy and gentleness, purity and faith can never grow old; as valor and courage, kindliness of heart, and knight¬ liness of soul, are ever the highest orders of nobility, so all days may be full of chivalry, all deeds may be instinct with that earnestness of purpose that lives in the heart of every forward-looking young man. We, the class of 1913, are pledged to emulate, to the utmost limit of our powers, that grand, that noble, that suoinne character, in order that our own lives may be, in the days that have yet to be borne on the wings of time, but a reflection, true and genuine, of those virtues which have shown to us to what a high level of perfection man can rise. My classmates, as we stand here, realizing that we have attained the first ideal of our ambition, we cannot but feel a sense of satisfaction and delight. But, on second thought, when we stop to consider that this union to-night marks the closing of a dear chapter in our life, the severance of ties many and cherished, of the part¬ ing with many friends,—we cannot help realizing what a peculiar feeling of sad¬ ness graduation brings into our hearts. To-night is the last time we stand together as a class. To-morrow each one of us will set out upon a new and lonely path, new because of the different nature of our work, and lonely because we will no longer hear the encouraging words and pleasant voices of our fellow-classmates and be- i6 OAK, LILY AND IVY. loved teachers ringing in our ears. Gone are those happy days, and with them we also depart, not empty-handed or alone, but freighted and laden with happy memories, inexhaustible and unalloyed, of our four pleasant years that are gone. Now as we are about to enter into life’s stern battleground, let us remember our class motto, “Sans Peur et Sans Reproche” ; it shall ever be our chief armor in the fight. Life cannot fail to bring with it contrary gales and treacherous storms; but these will never do us hurt if we meet them calmly and 1 without fear. Diffi¬ culties can be conquered only by decision; obstacles can be removed only by arduous endeavor and obstinate resolution. Parents, teachers, and friends, we deeply appreciate the faithfulness and sin¬ cerity of your ceaseless toil in our behalf, and we shall always be grateful to you for the innumerable sacrifices you have undergone in order that we might successfully complete our high school course. Classmates, for four long and happy years, we have lived together, studied to¬ gether, and together we have known the joy and gaiety of student life. Now we can no longer linger among these happy scenes, but must bid each other an af¬ fectionate adieu, and then hastily separate and take our places in the ranks with those who have gone before us. Nevertheless, dear classmates, let us not depart with that doleful and disconsolate feeling in our hearts, but with joy and bright remem¬ brances of our blissful High School days.
