.- v I - - , X 1 L, Q l K ' ,, . . LITERARY. . Q Amram 's Wooing. From Poem of Byard Taylor. fBy Velma Burkhart. The sun was slowly sinking be- low tl1e horizon as Amram on his steed was galloping across the desert. Amram was a young man, brave and poor but full of pride. His only treasure was his Arabian horse Djerid. At a distance the tents seemed to rise up against the sky. Nearer and-nearer they ap- peared until at last he was in their midst riding with an easy, careless air. As he reached the door of Aiguillon's tent he dismounted, en- tered and made himself the old warrior's guest. When the Hrst greeting was over and Amram was Waiting for Aiguil- lon to begin his conversation, tl1e curtains parted and Mariam, the daughter of Aiguillon, entered. She, lightly dropping on one knee before him, offered him a cup of amber juice, her large dark eyes shining witl1 a soft sweet tremble. She at last, startled by his fond troubled look, arose and the cur- tains closed behind her. Amram told Aiguillon how, while roaming through the desert, he had spied his tent at a distance and that his honor bade him halt. The evening stars shone brightly as l1e left the tent. Fierce with passion he urged his horse far and wide into the desert. The image of Mariaul beamed in all he saw, dreamed and thought. And he vowed then, although he knew it would be useless to ask her father for her, that she would be his. The next evening Anirain stole behind the well, screened by a large sandy hillock, where the maidens fill their pitchers with water. One by one they came and Went. Mar- iam came at last. Amram threw a bunch of flowers down at her feet. She, startled, looked up at him, and recognizing tl1e gift as his, pinned it next her heart and de- parted. Again Aniram found his way to Aiguillon's tent., Again Mariam knelt before him offering him a cup of amber juice. One glance of glad intelligence and she glided from the room. O Aiguillon, cried Amram, 'lyou have a daughter, let me be her shield. It cannot be, answered Aiguil- lon, such a treasure as she must not be idly spent. I come to warn you, continued Amram, that although her suitors are as many as the leaves upon the trees she shall belong to no one but me. I can trust myself to shield her until I give her to fitting hands, he answered, And now begone and do not come again. The next evening the plan was settled between Mariam and Am- ram. They were to elope. Two more risings and settings of ll1e sun, then-happiness or sorrow. Meanwhile Djerid was carefully trained for the deed. He was fed on the choicest food, treated as a guest. For on him depended their fate. The large yellow moon was rais- ing above the edge of the desert. Amram stood by the edge of the well. All was still except the jackal's whining moan, the gurg- ling groan of the camels, and the lamenting monotone of the winds. Mariam was not there. Would she not come? But in a moment a white robed figure glimmered in the moonlight He lifted her light- ly intothe saddle and springing he- side her they galloped off. But the hunt is up. Far in tl1e distance threateniugly comes the eager cry of the pursuers. They Hy in the moonlight-laden air, for- ward, forward through the hours One after another lag. At last Djerid also. The pnrsuers of the night. the followers begins to lag gain on them. But Amram draws l1is dagger and tumhles his saddle to the earth The shouts are now faint, now fierce and near. But O joy! the purple light of the breaking morn has come at last. The white tents of Artagnan, the enemy of Aiguil- lon, whose shelter and support Am- ram claims, gleams in the sunrise and the few who were still follow- ing them tlll'l1 back and cease to pursue. 0 GD GI 0 0 A Spelling Watch. By Pearl McConnell. The time of my story dates back about thirty-tive or forty years, a time when most people held to the belief that spelling was the essential study. The action takes place in a teachers' association. Mr. Barnes, the county examiner, was the pre- siding off1cer. He was a short, in- . M. .ac auspicious little fellow but his sharply pointed nose and chin with penetrating blue eyes marked him asa man who felt confident that his remarks would be favorably re- ceived. He was in good humor and proceeded to make the an- nouncement in the following 111a11ner: Ladies and gentlemen: Ahem! ahem! You all know that this is the last secession, al1e1n! of the midwiuter annual teachers' associa- tion of this district in Ohio State, ahem! al1e1n!-but you did 110t know that a surprise had been pre- pared for you. Ahem! During this meeting we have discussed the benefit of spelling and tl1e lack of attention to this study i11 some of the other states. Ahem! I and the most of us do I hope, ahem! recognize that spelling is the basis of learning. Since such meetings as this should have some pedagog- ical disti11ctio11. ahem! we will de- vote this time to a spelling 1natcl1. A prize will be given to the winner. Ahem! Imagine the honor not only of being the best spellerin this assembly but also of being the possessor ahem! of thelatest edition of Webster's unabridged dictionary. AllCllll This dictionary contains Il8,000 words, 3,000 engravings, 2,012 Qahemll pages, asupplement, ahem! and-etc , ahem! This last was delivered iu a grandiloquent tone after which he paused ostentatiously to clear his throat but really to see llle effect. In view of these facts, al1en1! as Isee your expectancy I herewith appoint Herman Goldsmith and joseph Arnold the captains. The two young lllell llflllled as captains determined who should A first choose by pulling straws. It was found that Herman was the fortunate one. Soon all present were arranged in the opposing lines, tl1e poor spellers, who looked very shamefaced, being at the foot of the two divisions. Mr. Barnes then with a ,grave air opened the spelling book and pro- nounced words to the captains. Soon ller111a11 spelled e11tice with an s for c. A murmur of rejoicing went through the other side while his ow11 line looked chagriued. Mr. White, a young man from Pennsylvania who actually wore glasses, now took Herman's place and the spelling proceeded as be- fore. BntJoseph's glory did not last long for i11 his confidence he spelled interpellation with o11ly one 1. The words were IllCll passed from line to line until only twenty- Hve were left. 0f these I-Iern1an's side could boast fifteen. By this ti111e Mr. Barnes had used most of the words in the com- mon spelling book so he commenced with Henderson's Test Speller, a book noted for its hard words. It seemed as though all Herman's hfteen must go, for one by one they tool: their seats while Mr. Beason, the other leader, still stood there. At last only Olle remained, a tall, slender young lady whose calmness almost seemed to defy her oppon- ents. Perhaps at some other time you would llOt have thought Miss Mary so beautiful, but her face was unusually pale contrasting witl1 her dark locks and deep blue eyes spoke of intelligence and depth of charac- ter. As the defeated members of her party looked upon her they dared to think that she might win although they knew that Mr. Bea- son was one of the best spellers in the state. The excitement YOSC every minute, For a whole half- hour. But what? Could the watchers believe their ears?-Yes. For in reply to Mr. Beason Mr. Barnes whose voice trembled with excitement hurriedly called out, Next, and Miss Mary spelled the word correctly. By that time the disorder was so great that Mr. Barnes thought fit to announce a short recess. When the spelling commenced again the nine were rather con- fused but they were all good spell- ers so they struggled bravely. Fate turned against them and in less than an hour they were all de- feated, leaving Miss Mary the vic- tor. Amid the roar of applause, buzz of conversation and congratulations that followed, Mr. Barnes, after clearing his throat a great many times, succeeded in obtaining a temporary silence. He then proud- ly presented to Mary that most valuable book, which he said, should be ranked alongside the spelling book and Bible. After that he straightened up to his full height and said: Ladies and gentlemen: Ahem! Ahem! God has seen fit on this day to bless this young lady on ac- count of her great knowledge of spelling, ahem! As He permits so many joys to come at once 1 will say, ahem, that I have been in- structed to announce. ahem, that the school trustees of the leading cities of this section are waiting, ahem, to choose some one or ones from this assembly, ahem! al1em!

A long, long time ago far back in the dim vistas of the past in the old, red schoolhouse on the hill, one bright Septcmber morning, the girls and boys gathered from all parts of town and of these the most important Cto themselvesj were the Freshmen. But they didn't feel fresh at all and they wondered why everybody talked about Freshman being green. It seemed to them that they were just like the other classes only perhaps a little brighter and cuter. During the winter they developed very much as other Freshmen had done before them but during the following March they established a literary society which was the first of the kind in N. V. H. S. and which has served as an example for all succeeding classes. This society did not dis- cuss great social and political ques- tions as do some organizations but began at the bottom of the ladder and gradually climbed upward try- ing always to improve. These meetings attracted so much atten- tion that even the dignified juniors condescended to visit them and grin their honored approval. At the end of the term it was decided that the meetings had been of too much value to be dropped and were there- fore carried on through the summer. One of these meetings was of spec- ial interest and must be given spec- ial note. It was held at Hinch- man's Cave and was attended by a hay wagon, lunch baskets and a sudden downpour of drenching rain. The Sophomore year was entered upon with the same old spirit for work and play. Here they were introduced to Julius Caesar and his Commentaries which they re- fused to fall in love with as Prof. Weedman had both purposed and fondly hoped. In fact a feel- ing almost akin to hatred took pos- session of their rebellious hearts and minds but when Julius brought to the front the famous Tenth Legion, the were subdued by the invincible ones. The literary society which had begun to lag was re-organized in january '04 and the work given a newimpetus. In fact it received such an impetus that when they were comfortably settled in their places in the new school building and the stir attending the dedica- tion was over they must needs send out invitations to their friends to attend an open meeting. During the following summer tl1e only sad event of their happy existence as a class was the sudden death of one of their most loved and honored classmates, Elmer Kinnear. The 'o6's began to feel- them- selves to be indeed important to the school when they found their seats in the second row from the windows and two classes, the in- fantile 'o8's and the waxing 'O7'S looking up to them as juniors. On Nov, 4th,- '04 they joined with the Sophomores in a union class meeting which both classes endeav- ored to make as entertaining as possible. During the year '04-'05 the 'o6's had control of the Mirror which had been instituted the pre- ceding year. This heritage they gladly accepted and did their best to keep it up and edit in a manner to please all. Though they were not so successful with the paper as they desired they at least did their best and put it on a firm financial basis for the 'O7'S. The Senior year of the 'o6's has been uneventful but full of plenty of good, strong work. Now that their school days are so nearly ended they look back over the four years with a good deal of complacency and just a little regret that they will soon no longer be counted among the members of N. V. H. S. Still each must take his part in life whether it be great or small and the 'o6's are not lingering but as ever ready for whatever work is to be their share. 0 0 0 0 G Class Hattie We, the class of naught-six, be- ing of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all for- mer wills by us at any time hereto- fore made. We esteem ourselves fortunate in being the possessors of the precious accumulations of all the past cen- tnries. Even the scanty review we have taken of the things discovered, invented and thought out by man during the unmeasured epochs be- fore history began created in us a desire to leave these things to our successors WYII. Ea Ion. These possessions that it has pleased the fates to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows. Item: VVe give and bequeath to the High School our only book, The Hoosier School Master. This book, to become the possession of the High School on condition that each year others may be added until they have a collection of which they may be proud. Item: We give and bequeath to the coming Freshmen class Myers' Ancient History. We hope sh: may soon become acquainted with Psammetichus, Tiglath Peleses, Themistocles, Sennacheub, Thucy- -i dides, Pythagaros and other noted men of History. Item: We give and bequeath to class naught-nine all that is good in literature. We know that it is difficult for young minds to knit in- to one fabric ideas which are pre- sented at considerable intervals and under associations so different as occur in tl1e study of various mas- terpieces. But in order to study these masterpieces it isbest to study the history and development of the literature of which they form a part. Iten1: We give and bequeath to class-naught eight a box of pencils to be used in all the easy construc- tion work they find in their geom- etry. We feel confident that even their slender frames will bear the strain during the entire course. Item: The following list we do declare the class of naught-seven to be the real and rightful successors. Ist. Senior dignity is always handed down to the new made lords of the High School world. We be- lieve that she will soon be able to adjust herself to these new condi- tions. 2nd. To our successors we give our course in Physics. May she secure for herself the knowledge that has been obtained by the scien- tific men who have preceded her. In connection with this comes the most interesting part of the course, the personal experimentation in the laboratory. Our minds have been so occupied by the disposal of our more valu- able property that we had almost forgotten our smaller possessions. Item: We give and bequeath to the Freshman class three and one- half dozens of the best grade of triple plated tin spoons. May she, following our example, make ex- cellent use of them. Item: We being in possession of a five cent ball of wrapping twine do give and bequeath the same to our teacher of mathematics Cprovid- ed she hasn' t already used itj. We hope that she may use this to as good an advantage in education of our younger sisters as she has toward us. Item: We extend to our teacher in Physics the privilege of repeating these well-known words to class naught-seven: Please be careful when you are at work in the labor- atory. The instruments are very delicate. All the rest of the residue of our property, whatsoever and whereso- ever, of what nature, kind and quality it may be, not herein before disposed of, we give and bequeath to our professor. And lastly, we do nominate and appoint the said professor the sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the class of naught-six, the testators have to this our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hands and seals, this ninth day of May, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred six. 0 0 0 Q 0 Calendar.

This being the last issue of this school year we decided to publish an extra large edition of the Mirror. Our Hnances would not permit us to do this on as extensive a plan as we would like to have done but we have tried as far as possible, to en- large and beautify this edition. The cuts shown in this issue are ones of which we are proud, espe- cially are we proud of our High School orchestra. The Senior class To this much of it might what all- of. The too is worthy of note. issue have they devoted their time and study that be a fair representation of wise Seniors are capable baseball team also demands our at- tention. It has brought N. V. H. S through another season with vic- tories to her credit. In truth we hope that this issue will be a show of quality if not of quantity. ................ It seems as though the number of visitors to our High School dur- ing the past month has been un- usually large. We like to think that this is true and we arc glad to welcome those who show that they have an interest in us and in the school. Especially are we glad to see our former schoolmates with ns once again. The sight of their familiar faces brings to our mind incidents of former years. These reminiscences are not always happy, however. We cannot help but think of others who were once our schoolmates and companions but whoiare now gone from us, some having removed from the city and taken up their school life under different surroundings, others taken from us by that hand which we can neither see nor understand. As we think of these, our hearts are filled with adegree of sadness. As we look back and see how things once were and then note the changes that have taken place, we realize that Time in her mad rush toward eternity has not passed us by with- out leaving her mark. Yet, while many griefs and sorrows may have come to us during the last few years, we have enjoyed so many privileges and blessings inter- mingled with our troubles that we surely have no room to find fault with our lot. o4+Qoooooa4-QQ... With this issue the present editor- ial and managing staff delivers up the reins to the staff of next year, and may success crown their en- deavors. We acknowledge that we have made many mistakes during our term of office and we are willing to take our share of the blame- and as for our success-we shall let each one judge for himself. We have learned many things by ex- perience during the past year and which we have received from the school has been very commendable. At times the students grew lax in their contributions to the Mirror- a state of affairs which bowed down the editors' heads with grief--but we l-:now that this laxness was caused not by any had intentions but by thoughtlessness or careless- ness. We speak for the whole school when we say that we are thankful beyond all expression for the liberal aid we have received from the business men of our town. Their free hearted patronage in the way of advertising in our paper has been very much appreciated and we have tried to make them feel that their money spent in this way was spent to their own advantage as well as ours. soma osoovvaavq We shall give our successors the ad- vantage of this experience that their mistakes 1nay not be the same as ours. We believe the paper will be under good management next year and we trust that the school will give them the best of support. Taken as a whole, the support STI?

Under the in- fluence and management of Prof. Poust a few H. S. pupils of musical talent banded themselves together to form an orchestra. Soon others joined and now we have an orches- tra of twelve members. After much hard study and practice they surprised the school with a few selections one morning. Since then they have played frequently before the school and on Wednesday, May 16th, they furnished music for an entertainment and social at the Whitcomb opera house. They will play at l.l16COl11111EllC6l1161ltCXGl'ClSES Monday, May 28. We feel much indebted to Prof. Poust for his assistance in the Ja, work. Not only has he been a very great help to the members but to the school as well, for without his influence and aid we believe that the orchestra would not have been organized. Now that the school has seen the benefit of such an organization we hope that it will be reorganized at the beginning of next term with as many new mem- bers added as possible. The members of the orchestra are: Leo Hudson. Caroline Bantz, Herman Oswald, first violing Isa- bella Beason, first mandoling Edgar Platter, Griffith Landig, second violing Lloyd Weedman, second mandoling Grover More, cornetg Clara Davis, guitarg Ina Hudson, pianog Nannie Newby, bass violing Prof' Poust, leader. i T. . . ATHLETICS . . Q Another baseball season closes leaving N. V. H. S. victor on the diamond. For three years she has stood undefeated by any high school team and may she so stand for years yet to come. The ont- look at the opening of the season showed quite well for a good team, there being tive left over from last year's team. Practice began as soon as the weather would permit and within a few weeks the team was in a very good condition. Our season opened a little later than usual on account of the fact that our manager had trouble in sched- uling games. One high school of twice our size actually owned up to the fact that her team was not strong enough to play us. SEYMOUR VS. NORTH VERNON. On Saturday morning, April 14th, tl1e team journeyed to Sey- mour to open the season by a game with S. H. S. The day was bright and warm although the ground was rather wet from a heavy rain of the night befcre. They arrived in Seymoui in good time and after a yell of greeting to the little city all went to the hotel and deposited theirluggage and good behavior. From there the boys rambled out to view the town-Holland and Davis to find some fair ones whom they had met during the football season. It is needless to say that there were many anxious hearts both with the team and at home who were uncertain as to the outcome of the game. And why not? The first game of the season away from home and a new battery. All this uncertainty was soon banished from the minds of those present when the game opened. North Vernon opened the game as though she was used to it. Two scores were brought in and then Seymour came to the bat. They handled the stick quite well but were unable to score. For quite a while the score remained 2 to o in favor of N. V. At last Seymour managed to bring in three scores. With this the crowd sent np a mighty cheer. Know-it-all Seniors, know-nothing Juniors, Freshies of the squeaky voiced species and all- lent their voices to the common cause and yelled like mad. The boys of old N. V. were not at all rattled by this noise but rather were encour- aged to put forth a greater effort. After this inning Seymour couldn't keep up with us. The boys all be- gan to play like old heads and the game closed with a score of 9 to4 in favor of N. V. Cox pitched a good game and many times did the Seymour boys beat the air unmercifully. Wetzel kept his big mitt behind the ball so well that only one passed him. A good crowd attended the game and school spirit was not lacking among the Seymour girls and boys. NVhite, Davis and Holland were so favorably impressed with the town and its people that they retnained until the next evening. NORTH MADISON vs NORTH VERNON On Saturday, April 28th, North Madison High School was repre- sented in our town by her baseball team. These fellows proved them- selves to be fairly good ball tossers but they couldn't beat us. At Hrst for several innings N. Madison stood in the lead. The score even stood 7 to 2 in their favor but in the sixth inning they began throw- ing the ball at each other in such a way as to cost them six scores. After that N V. led the way ani the game ended with a score of 7 to 12, giving us the victory. On ac- count of an injury received while practicing, Capt. White was unable to play in this game and his posi- tion was played by More. NORTH MADISON LOSES TO NORTH VERNON AGAIN. The second trip of the baseball team was taken Saturday, May 5th, and this trip will long be remem- bered by those who went. At 6:30 a. m. the boys left in high spirits and a crowded hack for North Mad- ison, a twenty-one miles' drive. The trip there was a pleasant one but all were glad when the destina- tion was reached. It being then noon the boys immediately ate their dinner and went to the ball field. The North Madison boys again started out in the lead but N. V. soon caught up and out- stripped them. The last inning of the game was played in a drizzling rain which made it rather unpleas- ant. The game ended with a score of to to 8, the victory ours. After the game the N. V. H. S. boys walked down the railroad to Mad- ison and back. Some of the boys had never seen the beautiful scen- ery around Madison and although all were tired when they returned to the hack at North Madison, yet all felt amply repaid for the walk. The trip home was tlOt uneventful but space does not permit us to print all the detailsg for information see the boys. We arrived home Sunday morning at 3:oo a. ni., a tired but happy crowd. ANOTHER VICTORY GAINED FROM SEYMOUR H. S. Seymour's aggregation of ball tossers came to our town Saturday, May I2, evidently with great inten- tions of being victorious. In the first inning Seymour scored twice on errors made by our men. The score stood 2 to o in their favor for tive innings but in the sixth inning the S. H. S. got a little wild and we brought in six scores. After that we remained in the lead and the game closed with a score ot I2 to 7. The great number of scores being caused by errors on both sides. More's three-base hit and two- base hits made by Harman and Harper were some nice features of the game. The game was well at- tended and interesting. The last game of the season will be played with Greensburg H. S. at this place Friday, May 25. A good crowd is expected at this game and we can assure all a fast and in- teresting game. The track and field team has been unable to accomplish very much this year. Although we have had no meets, we have accumulated certain accessories which will be of value in furthering this line of ath- letic work next year. VVe hope to be able to have two meets with neighboring high schools, and if possible to send a team to the an- nual meet of the Soutliern Indiana Athletic Association. This may sound like a wild dream, but there is no reason Why we cannot if we have the cooperation of the entire North Vernon High School. KY 552' 6. 9 ELXBI -.44 Y A J y CHU Wfife Ol' Pic! 4.

Wonder how many of the juniors will be Seniors next year. The opening exercises by the or- chestra seem to draw a crowd. And the juniors didn't entertain after all. Frances says it is better to be out of the world than out of style. There is no rest for the wicked. just notice how hard the Seniors had to work toward the last. Big Sophomore ftinding the ab- breviation Dr. in a manuscriptj -- Say, what does 'Dr.' mean? No wonder Adam thinks he is It. He was mistaken for Prof. Weed- man one day recently. The old-time game, Drop the Handkerchiefn has been revived for the children, Seniors especially. Lee Davis ton the trip to North Madisonj- Here comes a school house. The baseball boys say that driv- ing to North Madison in a crowded hack isn't what it's craoked up to be. Prof. VVeedman-- Adam, do you think you will be here this afternoon after three o'clock? Adam- Yes sir, I know I will. We have an algebra test. Picnics are in order again. Every class except Junior are going to have one. What's the matter with the juniors anyway? Miss Powell Qin Senior algebra classj- I wonder what kind of an arrangement Vance and Clara have agreed on. We all thought Clara had re- formed, but really did you notice that she brings a spoon to school with her? Did you all see the bottle of milk Laura has been carrying to school every day? It seems a shame that some should graduate so young. Miss Powell, speaking to the Seniors about their algebra work, said, My first year class can solve problems which are more difricult than these because they are 'fresh' men in the work. Prof. Weedman told the Seniors all they would have to do com- mencement night would be to look pretty. Some of them will have to work harder than they did to get through the exams. The Seniors have been studying about the differences of sound wavesg wonder if they can tell what kind of a sound wave the orchestra produces when it plays Silver Heels. . Recent reports tell us that two Seniors and a Sophomore were seen playing drop-the-handkerchief one night on the street with a crowd of little folks. Now we don't like to believe such tales. For further in- formation see L. H., E. T. and K. D. Now, that the year is over, the business manager announces that if the entire school will call in a body tomorrow at the private office of The Mirror, they will be treated to ice cream and cake, in reward for their services during the past year. XVe are expecting quite a spread and we shall look for the office. 0 0 0 0 0 12. . . EXCHANGES . . 'B We acknowledge the Orange and Black. We always welcome the High School Review. As this is our last issue for this sshool year we will say good-bye to all our exchanges and hope to see you all with 11s again next fall. The May issue of the Interlude is an excellent paper.

S. deserve much praise for the excellent paper published by them. The Caldron has been one of our best exchanges the past school year. The Oak contains a very ap- propriate cover design.
