VVhen we think of the Pole Star we usually think of that stern steady bright star which prevails in the land of ice and snow, Miss Blanche Hensel fills this position well and for proof of this statement you might ask a Spanish or Ancient History student. Miss Meloy, our new commercial teacher, is well represented by that new star of the first magnitude, which was discovered during the last eclipse of the sun, and which has not yet received its name. What should the name matter as long as it is a star of the first magnitude ? We shall let each Freshman who had the luck to take his first year Latin from Mrs. Bonney name her after his or her own particular star of fate because in Mrs. Bonney's hands lies the fate of many a Freslnnanh and even Senior and her word means success or failure in singning the required credits. It seems that one star is insufficient to represent Mr. Hanley, out athletic coach, so several are used, and are grouped in such a position as to form the image of a powerful giant. This giant as we all know is Hercules who thus has a worthy representative in the P. H. S. The Solar System is not completely made of planets and so the high school has its asteroids, or smaller planets, represented by the members of the Student Body, who are also important factors in the Pendleton High School. Just as in the groups of asteroids there are always som particular bright stars so in the Student Body there are outstanding figures which fulfill this rule. Our Yell King, John Simpson, is represented by Sirius, the brightest of the asteroids, and commonly known as the dog star. After hearing our Annual Editor. Ivan Houser, in his speech in the Student Body meeting recently when he said he would Hsici' John Simpson on the students, we might consider this quit-e a just comparison. Eros, which is the nearest asteroid to the sun, and which is often referred to as Cupid, is personified in the school by the president of our Student Body, Gilbert Struve, who of all students stands nearest the principal. Note. Billy CFitzj Kramer need take no offense at this as Gilbert Struve personifi-es Eros and not necessarily Cupid. Thefe are many more bright luminaries in the Pendleton High School which it is as impossible to mention as to name all the stars in the Solar System. This short study is intended to be merely suggestive and to encour- age the study of the Astronomy of High School. VVILLIE DOHERTY. I9-'ll
