HIGH SCHOOL ENTERPRISE ’0 7. fl Senior’s Seven Ages Shakespeare says, and we will continue to quote him for a time yet despite the adverse criticism of our friend Tolstoi, thai “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. His acts being seven ages.” Now the great English bard was right, but he might also have said that while before the footlights on the “world’s stage” one plays through seven ages long before he reaches the act of “second childishness and mere oblivion.” A High School Senior, whose years have been numbered by but few turnings of the hour glass, has played through seven ages; the first, the Nursery, where ills are manifold, and where the talcum can proves of great¬ er worth than all the mines of India, and where the canister which holds the catnip tea is the true “Fountain of Youth;” the next, the Kindergarten, where work is play, and where the young idea learns to shoot so that in the later years the blowgun and the rubber band w ' hich throw the paper wad can be manipulated with the skill of years; and third, the Grammar School, where lessons wax yet harder and the novelty of knowledge is replaced by grind, and he begins to realize that grammar sets the pace for things unpleasant.; and when at last he graduates from Grammar School and thinks he’s free, behold, he’s ushered into things yet more severe—he finds himself in High Scliool; if life was rushing in his earlier days it is strenuous here, for what with original problems in Geometry, and conjugations of Latin verbs which ne’er were used except by people long since dead, and efforts to commit long; passages of English prose or verse life fast becomes a weary drudg ' e. Now comes the fourth act in the play, he becomes a Freshman; with timid step he treads the halls and creeps all round the house to find the of¬ fice; he laughs with childish glee to hear the noise of an alarm clock which he has hid behind the bust of Caesar, and thinks there’s little left to learn when he has mastered “Whiskety.” As Sophomore he’s wise—we know he’s wise because he tells us so— and seeks to give advice to friend and foe, to Freshmen and to Faculty, but comes to find that hfs advice counts all for naught and is not followed even in emergency. And now comes the Junior, much elated over his escape by a scant “C’ from his former class, and feeling proud to think it now becomes his? 12 —
