12 The Scarlet and Qray and when I told her that we had chosen to be a nurse, she said that Arizona McKee, Elizabeth Murphy and Helen Stedem were also nurses. She inform- ed us that she was teaching Geometry at a Columbus high-schuol. She added that Bessie Jones taught History, Bes- sie Tenox, Latin, Margaret McGrath, Chemistry and Florence Barks, Eng- lish in the same school. Anna Monks is a stenographer at New York. Goldie McCombs now Goldie Jones and Cecil Crabtree, now Cecil Hardy joined us during this conversation. They told us how glad they were that they had escaped being single. 1 asked Amy if she had kept trace of the twins Hildred and Mildred Hut- chins. She informed us that .Mildred had become what she wished to be- come, a member of the Salvation Army. She went about doing good in the slums of Chicago. Hildred is the wife of Douglas Fisher, who owns a two hund- red acre farm. She was an expert mil- liner before her marriage.: While still speaking to these old friends, I saw Helen Powell and asked if anyone knew what had been her fate Cecil told me that both Helen and Mary powell were bachelor maids and lived at their old home at Nelsonville. V ile refreshments were served in the dining room, Emmett Preston told J UN Who wouldn’t be a Junior! And learn to laugh alway; Of course we work an awful lot, But leave time to be gay. The freshmen don’t known how to act, The Sophmores should, but don’t We Juniors know, and act it, too. But the Seniors know, and won’t. The Seniors are so very proud, Of what, I’d like to know? But then, I ’spose another year Our dignity will show, And we will be so dignified And sober all the day; But Oh! I never will believe, We’ll leave off being gay. For Robert how could he be sad, And wear a lengthy face? And how could we our smiling stop If “Tubby” set the pace? us that he had accomplished the wond- derful feat of going over the Niagra Falls in a barrel. Mr. and Mrs. Austin Kontner sat near me at a table and Frederika told me that Leighton Aumillerhad been re- jected by G.adys Burnell and learning to love Grace McKee, proposed to her and was accepted. They are living happily at Cleveland. The coaversation was turned up:n traveling and during the discussion I learned that Marie Donley, Edith Burdette and Addie Burt had toured Europe and had written a book on their travels It hat only recently been pub- lished. I also learned that Helen Verity and Mary Woodard were traveling over America and that they give lectures on womens sufferage at different places along their route. They hope to see a woman in the Presidents chair before many years. Naomi Foutey told me when we we:e together during the e.ening that she was the wife of a traveling salesman. Our class spent a pleasant fortnight in Washington and then returned to our various places of residence, hoping that Cecils administration be one in which much goad be done America. M. A. H. ‘14 O R S If Grace should try tosober be. She couldn’t stand the strain; And Florence was never know to frown Unless she was in pain. And Austin into transports goes Each time he gets a letter And if you think our Sheldon’s gja e, You’ll learn to know him better. Our Gail maybe could be prim, She likes a senior well; And Leighton doesn’t laugh so much, He caught it from Burnelle. I cannot think of any more Who ever could be grave; For future years of trials and tears. Our sober looks we’ll save. But as for now we’d rather smile, And while away the time; With all the mischief, joy and mirth, That e’er was put in rhyme. Hildred Hutchins ’14

M The Scarlet and Gray GROWTH OF THE SCARLET AND GRAY The growth of The Scarlet and Gray may be compared with the growth of the Spring flowers. The two papers issued in the first semester were con- sidered very ordinary. '1 his semester it blossomed anew. The February number came out and showed so much improvement that we soon ran short of copies. In March, we surprised ourselves and put out a still better paper. When it appeared with the cuts drawn by the Staff artist, the students again were loyal. We are sure that this issue will also be heart- ily received as the Juniors have work- ed hard on this number and have pre- pared one worthy of commendation. It is up to the Senior class to prepare a paper which will break all records. It is almost a certainty that this class will fulfill our expectations and pro- duce an excellent paper which will wind up a most successful season for our High School paper. If we had a good-sized gym the season would have been much more successful financially. Why not have one now? There is plenty of room in the base- ment which is not being used which would make a fine gym. Let’s push it. Speak to the School Board. FLOOD BRIYGS VACATION The Easter vacation, which hereto- fore was received each year, was not forthcoming this Spring in the usual way. It was decided to abolish this vacation, but the high waters which were common over Ohio gave us a rest Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the week it should have been received. Although we always like to have a va- cation, we would have much rather been in school than to have the exist- ing conditions. It was only by the work of our brave citizens that our va- cation was not much longer. Nelson- ville citizens should feel very thankful when they read of the conditions else- where HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM When the basketball team returned from Delaware, the need of a High School gymnasium was sadly felt. If the High School had had a good-sized gym on which to stage their athletic encounters, the team would have been in much better condition to show their worth. A team cannot play on a small floor all season and then go onto a large one and show their full value. EQUAL RIGHTS IN ATHLETICS At last we have equal rights in ath- letics. The gills of N. H. S. have for the first time shown that they, as well as the boys, can take part in that branch of education. They should be assisted by the boys as much as possi- ble, for they have always fed the ath- letic furnace of the boys with the sil- ver coins, and the boys should do as much for them.
