The demand of this day is primarily for stalwart men. The better equipped you are with knowledge and skill when you go out into the world, the greater will be the honors and successes which await you, but the one indispensible thing which the world will demand) if you are to come into your own is that you bear the simple but eloquent inscrip¬ tion “Sterling.” Victor Immanuel by holding fast to the constitution Which his father had granted the people, in spite of Austria’s efforts to buy him or to frighten him into repealing it, won for himself the con¬ fidence of Italy and the title ‘11 He GalantuOmOthe King Honest Man. When the publishing house of which Mark Twain was a member failed he assumed all the obligations and with infinite fidelity worked away UfiU he had paid the last dollar. Would he exchange his nobility for all the millions of the frenzied financier? Day by day you are establishing a character among your friends and acquaintances of trustworthiness or the reverse.

HIGH SCHOOL ENTERPRISE ' 0 6. Society Two receptions have been given during the past school year by the P H S girls to visiting teams. The first one, on the eve of Nov. 18, was given in honor of the Commercial High School of San Francisco, and the second to the Wilmerding High School football team, on Dec¬ ember 8, both receptions being held in the High School building. Dancing! singing and ether amusements made the merry hours pass only too quickly. Refreshments were also served. It was largely due to the kind aid of Miss Perkins and Miss Anthony that the affairs were such enjoyable ones. A delightful luncheon was given in honor of the P. H. S. girls, on December 18, by the Healdsburg B. B. girls, after a game of Basket Ball in that city. The Hi. B. B. manager was the toastmaster, and toasts were responded to by our manager and captain. Our girls were much pleased at the royal treatment which they received and hope at some future time to have the pleasure cf returning the favor. On account of the rain, the plans of the entertainment for the B. B. girls of Napa High School, on February 10, could not be carried out.

At 12 o ' c.ock, with Miss Watkins as chaperon, the girls partook of a delicious lunch¬ eon at the Continental Hotel. The Junior class gave a dance on February 9, to raise money for the Senior reception in June. It was well attended, and wAh Leo Hart as floor manager everyone had a good time. On February 21, the members of the Athletic Association gave an elaborate entertainment, for the purpose of raising money toward the athletic fund. Malcolm Byce outlined the general athletic policy of the school. The program also included vocal and instrumental mus c, read¬ ings, recitations and a farce. Those that took part in the farce dis¬ played considerable dramatic talent. We never dreamed that our ener¬ getic baseball manager could be so seedy and so absent-minded, or that long side-curls were so becoming to -cur charming manager of Basket Ball. The entertainment closed with dancing. The affair was a suc¬ cess both socially and financially. Women’s faults are many, Men have only two, Everything they say, And everything they do. — 32 —
