History of the Senior Class N A SEPTEMBER morning in 1907, sixty-five pupils wandered for the first time through the halls of P. H. S. How long we had dreamed of the day when we should enter upon the work of the high school! In fact, some of our dreams in those days placed before us ideals far higher than we have actually attained, and on the other hand some, per- haps, were mere visions of study over-balanced by a good time. However, whatever our ideals may have been concerning our high school life, we were at last, after a long search through the halls, seated in Miss McKinney's room ready to begin work. Of course, like all other classes, we had a struggle to remember our dif'l'erent recitation rooms. Almost anywhere in the building some strag- gling Freshman might have been found in search of his class. These diffi- culties, however, were settled when the number of each room was given us and we were required to learn it. Thus a-t the end of the first week we were able to find our places very readily, the strangeness of things wore away, and wc found ourselves really started in our high school career. One great event of tlhe first year was Freshman Day, when a program was given before the whole school in the Assembly Room. Ive did our best to make the iro fram interestin 1' and as food as those of other classes, there- P- fore, we worked harder than anv of the others to make it so. Durin 1' this . 5- year several pupils left school, while two entered our class. When we reached the,Sophomore year we felt more important for having taken one step toward the goal for which we were striving, that of getting an education. We now mingled more with the Juniors and Seniors, and on the other hand really sympathized with the Freshmen: for, recollections of the year before and of our own mistakes were still fresh in our minds. This year, too, we found a change of several members of the faculty, among them a new Principal, Mr. Ellabarger, who for three years has heard and settled our difficulties. Domestic Science was added to our high schoo course, and this, in addition to the Manual Training and Commercial work which had been introduced in the two previous years greatly increased the interest of our school life. At the beginning of this year we found our lessons rather hard to get, hut, after a few weeks, we once more became accustomed to study and worked hard from day to day, all the while drawing near the time when we could call ourselves Juniors. Our class that entered the Junior year was changed a little in numbers, some having joined us from preceding classes, while others had been added to the ranks of 1912. Now that we had reached the last half of the high school course, we felt that we were fast approaching the end of our school career, and thus we realized that we must make the best possible use of the time that remained. 1Ye soon found that to be Juniors meant hard study on the part of each one. In fact it required our best efforts to accomplish the work. During this year the Rhetorical Societies were organized and these have proved to be of real help to us both in composition and in debate. Under the direction of one of the boys of our class, the High School Orches- tra was formed and a number of the class have been members of the orchestra, also. The orchestra has played many times for the high school as well as on occasions outside of school and their music has been enjoyed by all who have heard it. 1Ve feel honored in having an organization that plays so splendidly under the leadership of one of the boys of 1911. At the end of the Junior year three pupils had been added to our number, while one mem- ber of the class had moved away. We entered our last year wondering what it meant in the way of work and study to be a Senior. 1Ve soon learned that it meant a very busy year for each one of us, and yet one which all have enjoyed. In the first place our class with the entire student body had our pictures taken last fall in 1 ,7.,.F,v ,.XL ,A ront of the high school building. Then, again, the editor-in-chief and most of the staff 'of the PIQUONIAN were chosen from the Senior class, all of them have done their work well. Two new musical organizations, the Glee Clubs, have drawn members from our class this year. In the debate between Greenville High School and P. H. S., three 1911 boys proved to be very good debaters. Moreover, a Girls' Athletic'Association has been formed in the high school and therefore the Senior girls have had the privilege of entering somewhat into athletics. While thus we have been enjoying all these things and have been studying hard, at the same time we have not failed to miss several of our class-mates whom we have lost from our number. During this year three pupils have left school and one has moved to California and is attending school there. Now there are thirty-three pupils who have reached Commencement Day, the time to which we have looked forward for many years, the time when we should complete our high school course. We stop now and think if we really have gained that for which we have been striving these four years, an education that will fit us for other duties, when each one will, perhaps, take up a different field of work. We stand on Commencement Day, happy, because we have all the opportunities of the future before us, yet sad, because we have closed the happy days of our high school life.

Mr. Bull is too well known as the President of the Interoecan Monorail Vompany ' ' ' ' 1 ' ' ' ' ' ' ' 4 ' l' Yf l's health which to need any il had been impaired by too close application to business.-'I'he I'Iditor.j had just come up from the south, and one bright spring morning found myself seated on a bench in a park in Piqua, my old home city. As I was sitting there I noticed a card which announced a game of base hall between Piqua IIigh School and some other school whose name I have forgotten. The sight of the name of Piqua High School brought memo- ries of my own happy care-free days in that institution, and somehow I got to thinking of my class mates who graduated with me in 1911. I became so occupied in trying to remember that I completely forgot my business, for, I believe, the first time, and did not think of it again until I had found all of the class. , At first I did not know how to find them, for I did not want any one to know who I was. lVhile I was trying to devise a plan by which my incog- nito would not be discovered. a gust of wind blew a paper in front of me. I picked it np. and the first thing I saw was a cartoon showing a woman with a large pair of scissors and a large blue pencil, seated at a table and marking up a bundle of papers. It was drawn by Rodger Emmert and represented Elizabeth Boyer who had just been elected to the position of ofiicial critic. At once I saw a way to find out what I wanted: I decided to look thru the newspapers and in that way to find all I could about the class. This pleasant form of recreation occupied me several weeks, and I believe I en- joyed myself as much then as at any time in my entire career as a tramp. One of the first papers I picked up contained an article written by hliss Boyer criticising the l'rosecut.ing Attorney for not doing his duty. Her criticisms were just as strong and scathing, as they always were, and as usual a little over drawn, for she accused Martha Gano of being a boss. I will admit that Martha always was just a little bossy but I don't think that she would do all that Elizabeth said she did. However when I saw that the object. of her criticism, the l'rosccuting Attorney, was Ray Levering, I knew itroduction to our readers. Let it be sufficient to say that the incidents described here, octurrm d while lu was a tramp, tr nc mg or u that something would happen if he took her advice and started an investi- gation. Another person who had become prominent in politics N was iNIabel Dill. She was running for some office or other, A. and I thought that she would make it until I heard that x I Raymond Piper was campaigning for her. VVindy was I just like he used to be. He could defeat anything by ar- A guing for it. wir,pr'P1l l- Just at this time VVarren Breidenbach was in the lime light, and there was a great discussion about him. The question was in regard to his sanity: he claimed to have perfected an automatic orchestra, and his friends hailed him as a genius while his enemies said that he was crazy and ought to be locked up. I learned that several of the class were in business. Donald Miller, who had been the manager of the PI- QUONlAN,,' was managing a business of his own, but no one, not even himself, knew what kind. Marion Bailey, our class treasurer, was the treasurer of several corporations and was making good use of the training he received earlier in life. Others were also profiting from their training in sehoolg Ruth Brown and Irene Hockenberry were united in a firm of commercial chemists, working together, I sup- pose as they did in tl1e chemistry class in school, and I wondered when I saw their advertisement if they had ever ' finished McPherson and Henderson's lab. Manualg Cleo Walkup, who always had so much trouble with her hair, was helping others in her hair dressing establishmentg and Helen Simon had become a beauty doctor. Fay Norton, keeping up the record he made in Rhetoricals, was writing short stories. I started to read one, but it was like all he ever wrote, too highly impossible and bloodcurdling. There were others in the class who were writing: F. M. Thompson, that is Marie Thompson, was writing detec- tive stories, Emma Buchanan was impoverishing the literature with such books as The Drummer's Daughter , Marie Hartshorn had written ten volumes trying to explain the German language to high school and college students, while Mary Grosvenor was deep in a discussion of Mathematics. A number of the class had become public speakers: they were Rebecca Hancock, who was still trying to expound the intricacies of popular govern- ment to the peopleg Albert Dankworth, who had become world famous as a debater and who seemed to have debated so much that it affected his brain, for he was going to debate the question, Resolved, that I am able to debate that I can debate, Margaret Coate, who spoke loud enough to be heard as long as the room in which '-- she spoke was not over twenty feet square, and Earl 5414 W 1'4'l4f Von Bargen who had become a minister. I started to read one of his sermons but it was too deep for me. It was against dancing, and just below it, was an advertisement of a class in aesthetic dancing taught by Vernie Mollman. The advertisements proved to be a valuable help to me, for from them I found that Boneita Deming had established a new department store. hav- ing had some experience in this line while still in school. Susanna Elliott who, as I remember, always had a great fondness for mathematics had become a civil engineer. Ruth Louis, who was always calm and quiet and the last person one would suspect of going up in the air, was running a line of aero- planes. Two of the class had become actors, or at least one, Norma McCally had done so, the other, Chester Hawley, although he claimed to be one, was, as I found out by reading a program of the play in which he appeared, to be found amont the citizens, soldiers, servants, etc., and probably had two lines to say in a mob scene. ' Ransley Bateman had established an agency, renting out beaus and Sweethearts, and Perkins Roe invented a new kind of tobacco which he warranted to be perfectly harmless and to contain no canibus Indica. I asked him about it, but when he found out who I'was, he, as an old friend, advised me not to try it, he had used it a while and it had caused him to lose considerable flesh, so that he was not quite so fat as he was in school. The last two of the class were not so easy to find for they had gone to Africa, as missionaries. They were Florence Kiefer and Emma Roeser. They had good intentions, but one day so the story goes, they got into a discussion over a certain passage of Goethe's Herman and Dorothea and wandered off. When they were found they were brought back to America where I found them in a sanatorium. When I asked to see them I was told that I might go in providing I did not say anything about Germany or speak in the German tongue. l HAROLD BULL, 'll.

C' 011111161106Ill8llI1ll0, it is not the end, it is the beginning! and in entering this new phase of life, we ask that the student body, as well as the Alumni, accept this publication as a pledge of love and hope for an Alma Mater. ..... i Four, not long but lamentably short years have passed since the class of ninteen eleven entered old Piqua High School. From our Freshman point of view graduation day and the end of high school activity seemed far dis- tant and almost unattainable. But now we find that it was only too near, and it is with deepest regret that we take leave of these friends and sur- roundings so much esteemed by us. VVe must go on and make room for the classes that are to succeed us, To all of them and, especially to the class of 'twelve, we wish unbounded success in what remains of their school course. It is to the excellent faculty of Piqua High School that we, the class of 'eleven, owe whatever success may be ours. They have always done their best, giving to us the greater part of their time and energy. VVe did not always appreciate them as we do now, for at first they seemed rather severe and strictg not kind and thoughtful as we now see them. And now that we see things in a better light we realize that everything done was for our especial benefit. Now we know that they are our best friends and that we owe them a debt of gratitude hardly within our ability to pay. And, having finished our course we would say one thing to the other classmeng that is, Stand by the faculty, they are your truest friends. You may not hold a position of distinction, you may participate in very few school enterprises, and yet a great deal of responsibility rests on you. Good order in a school room means better work, and if you do not co-operate with the faculty in securing this you are harming your school. You have a school paper for whose success you alone are responsible: since no paper can exist without liberal contributions in the way of material. If therefore, you never attempt to furnish an article for your publication you are not helping your school to the extent of your ability. If you are a meni- ber of one of the musical or athletic organizations of the school, it is your duty to attend every rehearsal or practice called by the one in charge. If you do not you are as bad as a knocker, for in such things there is no half way station. Now, get your shoulder to the wheel, make every effort a noble one, and before you realize it you will have assumed a responsibility of such a nature that you will be a credit to yourself and to your school. Piqua High School is now advancing at a stride which is attracting the at- tention of other schools, and you, the students, are directly responsible for the continuance of this advancement. Look around, find your responsi- bility, then work! N as 'fl ' A V 1 r Calendar for 1910-191 1 SEPTEMBER Old P. H. S. wakens from a three month's nap and comes out for the first day of school.

Orchestra OONS in theOrc-hestra can forget the words of Mr. Ellabarger when he introduced that organization to the High School for the first time, on February 21st, 1910. He said, Several weeks ago. one of the boys came to me and suggested the idea that all those in the school who play musical instruments should form themselves into an orchestra. to be known as the 'High School Orchestraf We have the fruits of his idea this afternoon. The boy is Vvarren Breidenbach and he has become director. We played three mnnbers that afternoon and received much applause, Cat that time there were about twelve pieces in the Orchestra, including three mandolins and a guitar.l and all were so encouraged by the reception received, that by C'Ommeneement, the only other time at which the Orchestra appeared last year, we were able to furnish music in plenty. This year when we organized. only orcliestral izistrunients were entered: this gave us about sixteen pieces, excluding lllillldllllfli, etc. It did not take long to become used to playing together again and we were able to accept engagements to furnish music for numerous events about town. The money thus earned was turned into the treasury of the Orchestra and used to buy music and to pay other incidental expenses. Now the Orchestra has as its property a bass-viol, donated by Mr. Robert Shemmel. and music ranging from The SOldier's Chorus and Tannhauscr down to Steamboat Bill. Director Breidenbach and several members Ol the Orchestra will graduate this year, but we hope that the others will reorganize next year. and that when chance brings us back to old P. H. S. we nuy find that our High School Orchestra still plays an important part in school life. PERSONNEL. FAY NORTON, 'll.

S. URVIIES 27 P. H. S. Boys' Glee Club ERE has come into the High School, during the past year, another musical society, known as The Piqua High School Glee Club. Through the interest and effort of Mr. Edward J. Waterman, who thought a good glee club could be formed, the society was Organized at the beginning of the second semester. It gave to the boys of the school who possessed musical ability, an apportunity to improve and develop their voices. The first appearance of the Glee Club in public was at the inter- scholastic debate held in Piqua on February Q1. They sang again in the program given On the Friday afternoon preceeding Spring vacation. At the final meeting of the Glee Club, which was held at the Y. M. C. A. on Friday, May Q6, the members enjoyed a banquet. As but four of the boys graduate this year, enough members will be left to carry On the work which has been started, and We expect the Organization to grow into a glee club of which we shall all be proud.

Girls' Glee Club MONO the musical organizations in Piqua High School, is the Girls' Glee Club, composed of fourteen members besides a director and pianist. The first idea of a Glee Club for the girls originated after a similar organization had been formed by the boys. It was thought that if the boys could have such a club, the girls could do likewise, so a meeting was called for all who were interested in the work. A great many of the girls responded, and an election of officers was held, but owing to some misunderstanding the organization was not perfected, and it seemed for a time that there would not be a Girls' Glee Club. However, the enthusiasm of the girls had been aroused and they could not think of giving up their plang so after a consultation with the faculty another meeting for organization was called. A constitution was adopted, officers elected, and then a short rehearsal was held. Mr. Waterman, the Manual Training teacher, is the director while Miss Butterfield, the English teacher, is pianist. Marion Miles '12 was elected president, Frances Graef, '12 vice president: and Emma Buchanan, '11, secretary and treasurer. We made our first public appearance Friday afternoon, March thirty- Hrst, before the members of the faculty, students and visitors to the school. Our next appearance was Saturday afternoon, April twenty-ninth, when we sang for a meeting of the girls at the Tabernacle. We Seniors hope that the club will be a permanent organization in the school, and wish it success in its future work. THE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB. FIRST SOPRANO MARION MILES ...... . ....

IQUA HIGH SCHOOL was the scene of great festivity on Friday evening May 19, when the teachers and pupils gave an informal reception to the parents. The object of the reception was to enable teachers and parents to become more fully acquainted with each other, and to show the people of Piqua what kind of work the pupils are doing. The guests included the parents of the High School pupils, the mem- bers of the Board of Education, the teachers in the schools, and the ministers of the city. From early in the evening until a late hour the teachers, pupils, and guests mingled together and thoroughly enjoyed the music, the decora- tions, and the work displayed by different departments. The guests were received down stairs by Superintendent Dietrich, Princi- pal Ellabarger, Miss McKinney, and Mr. Musselman. They were then shown through the different departments where the other High School teachers were waiting to welcome them. The rooms and halls were decorated with flags, school and college pen- nants, and the High School colors, red and blue. In the Assembly room long streamers of these pennants were stretched from corner to corner and several immense wall pennants decorated the front and side of the room. Large clusters of the season's flowers were in evidence everywhere, making old P. H. S. look quite gay. In the Assembly room, a musical program was given. Pupils from the German classes sang a number of solos in German, and the High School orchestra played throughout the evening. The visitors were greatly interested by the work on display in the Manual Training department. There were about a dozen library tables, several book cases, and a great many other small pieces. One boy has made enough chair, and several small tables and boxes. Some of the students were at work in the lathe room, and there was also a display of mechanical drawings made in this department. In the Science department the boys had set a wireless telegraphic in- strument and were operating it during the evening. Other electrical in- struments were exhibited by the pupils, and a stereoptican was also used. In the Commercial room the visitors had an opportunity of seeing some- thing of the business training given the High School students. In this room, there was, also, a display of the work done by the classes in Domestic Art. Across the hall in the Domestic Science room refreshments of cake and -L ,i V 32 'TL punch were served. This room was much visited during the evening, es- pecially by the boys. At the close of the reception the visitors left feeling that they had not only become better acquainted with the teachers but that they had learned something new about the school, while teachers and pupils were happy be- cause their first effort to entertain had met with so hearty a response on the part of the parents. The Faculty-Senior Base Ball Game N Saturday May 20th, the members of the faculty and the boys of the Senior class met at the Athletic field for a base ball game. V Some people might not have called it base ball, but as it was so ad- vertised and an admission fee charged, we shall let it pass under that name. Most of the pupils wanted to see the teachers play ball, and the teachers played ball, too, much to the sorrow of the Seniors, for when the game was over, the score stood 16 to'13 in favor of the Faculty. It would take a long while to tell all the great plays of the game. Per- haps the most sensational was Trig Emmert's three bagger with the bases full, when Trig reached third hir. Garwood sat on him. Supt. Dietrich's pitching proved that he had played the game before. Since Mr. Hargreaves is an ex-cricket player, some one suggested that he should be classed as a uringerf' 'The Faculty did have one ringer . anyway, Mr. Gano, As he had the habit of taking his time to get to the bat, Dankworth hit him with a pitched ball: this made it hard to get Mr. Gano near the plate the next time. Nothing much can be said about the gate receipts except that they were a boost in the right direction. The line up for the game was as follows: Faculty DlETRIf'H .... .... MUssELMAN .

P. H. S. Foot Ball Team l.l P. H. S. 140 10092, OPPONENTS 0 HIS is a record worth having, is it not? This is the first time in the history of P. H. S. that a team has closed a season with such a record. That goose egg for the opponents is what appeals to us, and therefore we feel that our team is the goose that laid the golden egg -golden for us, not for the other teams. But say, we worked for it. All the teams except one were evenly matched in weight, but what was the difference? It was for old P. H. S., and with each game the playing was harder, that we might keep the record. The season's record is due to three reasons: first, team work without starsg second, faithful and hard practice and training,--there were many night's practise in the rain, third, Coach Bailey. THE SCHEDULE. The season was started at home with Lima. They had a good team but could not solve our trick plays, with the result of P. H. S. 19, L. H. S. 0. CRainJ. Sidney was next at Sidney. The day was too hot for a good fast game, but P. H. S. came off the winners 9 to 0. Then one week later we entered the lists with Steele's warriors. We certainly had some game. For fifty minutes we slipped and slid in the rain and mud. P. H. S. scored only one touchdown. VVc met Urbana the next week and here Mote proved himself to be some sprinter by landing two touchdowns, while Brown came along with ai third. This was a hard game for there was snow and this made the ball hard to handle. P. H. S. 16. U. H. S. 0. Then we got some more of Sidney. Brown tried all of the trick plays, and nearly every play that we had. The only time P. H. S. had any trouble making downs was when we were on the diamonds where it was muddy. P. H. S. 50. S. H. S. 0. Next to Lima. If there ever was a game that was hard to win, it was at Lima. We broke thru for only two touchdowns but Bartholomai's drop kick and the kicked goals brought the score up to 15, with Lima 0. The Lima field was soft for a change, due to the weather. The following Thursday was Thanksgiving Day. This was the last game of the season and with one of the strongest teams. Would Urbana score? was the questiong we had long before put away any doubts as to who would win, but could we keep the record clean? The team said No to the first question, and there was determination in their answer. The fellows were in the best of shape and spirits even down to the last sub. Just before dinner their spirits fell a little but they all said No to the turkey and many other good things, until supper. A nice little shower came just before the game, and frightened out a part of the crowd, but it takes more than an ordinary rain to stop a foot-ball game. We went to the field early, and ran through a few signals and then went to the Club House for final instructions. Here we were given to under- stand that Urbana should not score under any circumstances. The whistle blew and we were off. VVe started the score in the first quarter and scored in every quarter of the game until at the end. P. H. S. Q6. U. H. S. 0. Open plays were used to good effect. A crowd of about seven hundred people saw the game, which was a fitting close to the season. RAY LEYERING, '11, LINE UP. RATf'lrIP'F ........ F. B. and Ca mt. BRONVN .... .... . B. DANKWORTH .... L.

Although the team lost four games, we ought not to complain, for the winning of a game is a secondary matter: the drill and discipline gained is of greater importance. That the team was a good one and deserved to win is evident from a brief review of the work of the boys who composed it. RAY LEVERING. Big was the only representative which the class of '11 had in this year's team. He filled the position of right guard in a very creditable man- ner. Cleanliness is his motto, for he always played straight, clean basket ball. His good guarding, as well as the unique way in which he got across the floor and dropped the pill in the box, won for him the admiration of every one. We regret very much that this was his last year of High School basket ball. LEROY BROWN. Brownie was Captain and the only real veteran on the team. He played the position of right forward to the satisfaction of all who witnessed his playing. It seemed impossible for him to get in a position in which he could not shoot a goal. As captain he showed himself to be a Very capable leader and got the best team together that P. H. S. has had for some time. He seemed to be the hub of the team, for when he was out of the game the rest could not play half as well. His work on the basket ball floor for the past two years has surely been praiseworthy, and we are glad that he has one more year to play with P. H. S. IRWIN BARTHOLAMAI. No one questions Barty's ability as a basket ball player. He was always right there with the goods when it came to securing points, for he got more field goals than any man on the team. He played hard all the time and we are glad he will be with the team next winter. DWIGHT GINN. Little said and much done. This will apply to Amy who never grumbled nor did anything but play basket ball. He played the position of left forward and he played it well. It is a hard matter to write about him for you can never catch him still long enough to find out anything about him. It seems about as easy for him to go up in the air after the ball as to run on the floor. Not many High School teams have his equal as an all round player, and P. H. S. is fortunate in having him for next year. HOMER REITZ. Curly never did anything not.able in school for he hasn't been here long enough, but then we all know that he played a great game at left guard. He also had the habit of occasionally shooting a field goal. At no time was he the least bit bashful about getting into the game, for he was usually the first one to get a cheer. Since this is only his first year, dope has it that he will be one of the stars of the team for the next three years. THE SUBS. Not all the praise. for the past successful basket ball season is due to the regular members of the team. The subs and second team men should get a good share of it for they work about as hard as the regular men and usually get no honor for it. If it were not for these fellows the practice would be fruitless for the first team. Those who worked the hardest and yet did not get a regular position on the team are Hinsch and Bateman.

Base Ball Team T THE end of the basket ball season the outlook for a good baseball team was rather discouraging, as some of last years' team were gone and Brown had been injured in the basket ball game at Lima. Now since the new team has shown us what they can do everyone is very enthusiastic. Captain Schaffer got the boys together and began to practise the first week after spring vacation. Six of last years team came out and a number of others, all trying for positions on the team. The new boys who were successful in getting positions are very capable players. They have all been very faithful in practising, and, since practise makes perfect, we feel confident that Long John will have a winning team. The first three games scheduled had to be cancelled because the weather man sent us some weather which was not exactly adapted to base ball. The first game of the season was played May 5 with Wapakoneta, on the home grounds. The score of 17 to 2 in our favor tells the story of the game better than the Writer can tell it. On May 13, Stivers journeyed up from Dayton and crossed bats with our team. By some very nice work the boys defeated them by a score of 9 to 4. The team should be congratulated on winning the game, as Stivers has a very strong team this year. If the boys play ball in every game as they have in these two, we are sure that at the end of the season we can say that it has been a successful one. LINE UP.

I awoke that morning by the first chirps of the earliest birds, with a foreboding resting heavily on my heart. You know how it feels, you know there is something to happen-but for the life of you,you can not think what it is. I turned over and managed to open my eyes a wee crack. I could see the sun was rising in the east, and I knew too, that it must be a most beautiful sunrise, for even the light in my room was a soft, roseate color. I lay there quietly for a few minutes, not trying to think what was worrying me. but bravely trying to keep my stubborn eyes open. Then it flashed upon me, why how could I have forgotten it for one minute? This was the day I was to graduate from High School! The biggest. grandest day of my life! I was instantly awake. The thought flashed over my whole being like an electrical shock. I sat up in bed and pushed my hair back a.nd thought for a few minutes. My school days were over. Never again would I sit in that dear old assembly room and giggle behind my hand, nor see all the boys and girls every time the classes changed, nor get sent to the office, nor be watched by teachers until I nearly went crazy, nor run up Ash street three steps to every tap of the last bell. nor practice again with the High School orchestra, nor, worst of all. ever feel again that I belonged there. Well. I had to make the best of it, despite the pangs that went through my heart. I knew that I might as well dress and take a walk. I could not bear to lie there and think. I stole carefully out of the house, for it was yet too early for any one to have awakened. I went out on the porch and looked at the morning sky. which was a fiame of brilliant colors. Slowly I made my way down the front steps and out a street that followed a short cut to the country. I must have walked an hour along that curving, dusty, country road. drinking in the cool morning air with unbounded pleasure, for I was always a healthy girl, and nothing pleased me more than to get deep into nature. Just as I was about to turn and pursue a round-about way home, I heard the husky honk of a machine. Much to my surprise, the machine, which was huge in size and one of the finest and best equipped of that day, slowed gracefully down, and in a minute I was able to recognize that it be- longed to one of my best friends. She herself with a few of the other mem- bers of our particular crowd , was sitting in the back seat. You are the very girl we are looking for, cried Catherine. VVe went around to your house and honked,' loudly, but the maid came sleepily out on the porch, after about ten minutes of our racket, and told us 'Miss Helen had gone out for her morning walk.' Come on, get right ing we're going to spin over to the next town and get home before breakfast. I was more than glad to climb in and rest in the comfortable seat, for, having walked farther than usual, I was beginning to feel fatigued. With an indescribably beautiful movement, the monster machine slid forward. The air that blew against ourcheeks was softas satin, and a feeling passed over me, such as only a smoothly moving contrivance of that sort can give one. The main topic of our conversation. of course, was the commencement exer- cises to be held that evening, for my friends also were to graduate. Almost before we had time to realize it, we were gliding down the main street of the village, which was still peaceful in the early morning. VVe were all too happy to think of going directly home, so we finally decided to go a round-about road that wound in and out along the river banks. I can remember every foot of that road as distinctly as if it were but yesterday. The sun which was slowly rising in the blue skies, peeped through the newly leaved trees, and on little delicate spring flowers that had been bathed with dew. We were riding along the river now, and the sight of the clear water and the new life of nature around about us was never to be forgotten. I remember well, we were coming to a short turn in the narrow road. The driver slowed down to be able to make it. Just as we were rounding the curve, to our horror, another huge machine stared at us, and came madly 011. Before anything could be done to stop the machines, there was a terrible crash, a breaking of glass, a dull, sickening feeling in my head, and a fright- ful jar that almost knocked us uncanscious, and,-it was all over. None of us had been thrown from the car, but the force with which we hit the seats had almost stunned us. Then, too, a terriHc steam was rising from the mashed radiators of the collided machines. It is needless to tell you the thoughts and feelings and pains that were surging madly through our bodies. But the first thing that I noticed was that the front end of the machine went down as if the wheels were bent off. The driver was the first to climb pain- .xl ,az at 12g.-y1prws'wr5yvfTg?vagZ1wy'5Eg31gg-f1-ag1-Qg,i5,3-,W .V. fully out. He came to where we girls were trying to collect ourselves, and senses too, and, with tears rolling down his whitened cheeks, asked in a choked voice if we were all right. On discovering that nothing seriously ailed us, we all got out as best we could, and went around to view the front end of the machines. T wo men were the only occupants of the other car, and as soon as they could, they came running up to us apologizing and doing all in their power to comfort ns. But the thought of the thing-we were miles and miles from home with a broken down machine. We were desperate, it was getting later in the morning, and that night was our graduating night and we had no way to get home! I tell you it was no pleasant experience. We had to get home some way, but how, no one knew. It nearly broke our hearts to look at the cars, as they stood there in the road, the front part of one buried into the other. Somehow, the time seemed to slip away, and by the sun, we could tell it was nearly noon, but we had not as yet thought of a means to get home. One farm house was in sight, but the driver on going up to it to inquire for a horse and wagon, found the farm deserted. Something had to be done, and done quickly, too. And let me tell you what We did. One of the men noticed two old row boats down on the river banks, pulled way up on the shore. Of course you know the idea that struck us, for the river ran through our home town. It was not long until the men had launched the boats. But we had not thought of oars until now, and there were none. Anyway, we had to get along somehow, so we found old branches of trees that we hoped would help us some what, as the river was shallow. We all managed to get in, and find places to sit. The men pushed off from shore and we moved slowly down the current, that was one thing in our favor. We were traveling down stream. Then the thought struck us which strange to say had not come to our minds before, what did the people at home think? What did they think ,4 .3 3 .st,,j,,,.A, Q. , had become of us? They probably were out looking, but they would never think of coming here. A Our ride was uneventful. VVe sat mournfully and thought of the ac- cident of the two machines we had deserted. The hours wore on, and we were more frightened and more hungry every minute. About half past five we began to recognize the surroundings, and knew that at least, we were nearing home. To add to our discomfort, the boat in which I was, struck a snag, and stuck, stalk still. Nothing worse could have happened. The agony and suspense was now maddening. The sun was fast sinking in the west, and there we were stuck in the middle of the river. After about fifteen minutes hard tugging by the other boat we gradually moved off. We now decided that the best thing to do would be to land, and walk the rest of the Way home. Having landed, we went through woods and crossed small streams until we came to the pike. What were the home folks thinking, we wondered. I knew mother must be frantic. Well, to make a long story short, we reached town fifteen minutes after seven. We separated and hurried to our homes, the two men going with Catherine to see her father about the machine accident. VVhen I reached home, you can imagine what I had to go through. Tears flowed and ques- tions had to be answered but there was no time to be lost for it already was half past seven and I was supposed to be at the hall at that time. VVith everybody helping me, I rushed into my clothes, donned my cap and gown, and departed for the hall with a wildly beating heart. Then everything grew hazy and dim, and I could hear voices calling my name loudly. Some one was shaking me gently by the shoulder, and it was then that I realized my wild experience had all been a dream and that mother was patiently entreating me to arise and remember the great im- portance of the day. I arose with a load lifted from my heart, happy at the bright prospects of the day before me, and the thought that my wild experience was not true. ' ELIZABETH BUYER, '11. XX X ! VI f GXYID C9 f f ie. How Rose Came to Graduate OES ANY ONE know any thing about Rose Colbert? inquired Miss Reed. the English teacher, one morning. No one knew or at least no one answered, so the matter was dropped. lint that evening after school was dismissed, Miss Reed passing the office saw Rose talking to the superintendent, so waited until she came out. Why were you not in school today Rose? she asked. The girl's lips quivered. and she waited a moment before she spoke, then she said quietly. I am going to stop school. What! when you are so nearly finished? It is only about two months now until you graduate. Yes I realize that. returned ltose, her eyes filling. But mother is sick and I must care for her: then we haven't money enough to keep me here, I think I have been very selfish to remain here as long as I have, when mother had to work so hard to keep me here, Sometimes she would work all day iu the mill, then sewed until midnight to make a little extra money. Now she is ill through this same work, so I must not complain at having to give up my school. lint I must go to her now, or she will miss me. After Rose wa.s gone, the teacher stood for a long time, thinking. It seemed a shame that the girl must go when she was so nearly through the High School, for she was a bright girl, eager for an education. and always ready for any difficulty that presented itself. Here she was handling this situation as calmly as any knotty algebra problem, seeing her way clearly, knowing her duty and doing it cheerfully. After a little while. Mr. Atkins, the superintendent, came out of his office and seeing Miss Reed asked, Did Rose tell you she was leaving school? Yes, answered the teacher, but I do wish she would change her mindg she surely could remain for such a short time, No, he replied, from what she said they must be in very poor cir- cumstances. The poor girl told me her story, and it was a very sad one in- deed. It seems that her father died some time ago. Before this time they had been, I believe. very comfortably situated, but the father was ill a long iime, so that after he was buried there was nothing left. The mother went tnto the mill and did sewing on the outside, this, together with insufficient food brought on her illness. I suppose it has been a hard struggle all the way through, to keep Rose in school and she is compelled to go to work, so must give up her dearest desire. When he had finished, tears stood in the kind hearted teacher's eyes. Oh, she cried, don't you suppose we could help her in some way? I can not bear to let her go without some assistance. Mr. Atkins studied for a while, NVell, he said slowly, I will see what can be done. When Rose left Miss Reed, she walked slowly home with a very sad heart. Oh,', she thought, if I could only finish up these two months, I could take the teaeher's examination and perhaps get a position. But what's the use of grieving over it? If mother sees that I have been crying, it will only make her worse. So when she went to her mother's bed-side there was a faint attempt at a smile on her lips. VVhere have you been so long? asked Mrs. Colbert fretfully. Only over to the school a moment, mother. replied Rose. I went over to tell M r. Atkins that I could not attend school any longer. Not go to school any longer! why that will never do, exclaimed the mother. 6'But mother there is no more money, and we owe a large doctor bill now, I am going over to the mill tomorrow to see if I can get your place. U Oh! I can not bear to see my little girl give up nowg you know what nice plans we had always made for you to teach, and I will soon be better now. Rose did not answer for she knew very well that her mother would never be nmch better, and that no matter how much she was opposed there was only one thing to be done. Early the next morning she went to the mill, inquired for the manager and found him in his inner office. I am Rose Colbert, she said timidly, after he had shown her a ehair, You will remember that my mother has been employed here for some time, but she is ill now. Hem, Colbert, Colbertg yes, to be sure I remember Mrs. Colbert. So you are her daughter? I have heard her speak of you. You are to grad- uate this year I believe? I thought so until recently, answered Rose, but I find I must give it up. I have come today to see if you have a place for me here. Why I heard that you were very anxious to get an education. Oh, indeed I do want an education, but mother is ill and the doctor says she will never be much better, so I must get some money, that she may have what she needs. ,,-4-.,,,. W. i . . , Um, um, I see, said the manager, Too bad indeed, so you think you want to start in the mill? Yes, sir. I am very sorry but I haven't a place just now, but you come in,- let's see, this is Thursday,-well you come in next Thurday and I think by that time I will have a place for you. Ol thank you so much, I was afraid you wouldn't want me without any experience, said Rose shyly. Never mind that, he said kindly. Tell your mother I hope she will soon be better. This time Rose went home somewhat lighter hearted, for she would at least have some money. Somehow the week passed very slowly. She had word from the school from time to time, but her friends were all too busy with graduation to notice her much, and it seemed as if she had never been so utterly alone before. Then the management of the house was a new and trying experience. What a relief it was after her mother was asleep in the evenings, to steal away to her little room, and spend an hour with her books. If any one had asked her why she studied she could not have told, it seemed to come almost as second nature to her. Thursday morning she awoke early, prepared breakfast, dressed her mother, did all her work, then started out for the mill. How she dreaded starting among all those strangers! Having reached the mill she was taken to the same little office. Here the manager greeted her with, Good morn- ing, Miss Colbert, so you are here to go to work, are you? Well just Wait a moment until I finish these letters and I will talk to youf' It seemed to Rose that he sat there for hoursg finally he turned around toward her, and started to beat a noisy tattoo on the desk. Suddenly he said, How would you like to go back to school instead of coming here? Rose jumped at the suddenness of the question, then said, Indeed I should love to go back if it were possible, but it isn't. VVell you see it's just this way,', he said. I was talking to your superintendent the other day, and he thought it was a shame that you must stop, for he said you would make a splendid teacher. Then you see-well my own little daughter will graduate in a year or so, and I'd hate to think that such a little thing as two months wages would stand in her way. So if you will go back, I will continue your mother's wages for two months, then you can come here during the summer, and this fall take the teachers' examina- tion and get your position. Rose stared, was she dreaming? Do you mean that you will give us the wages and not receive the work? she asked. I If raffle 1. 1 . Why little girl I will never miss that small amount and I think I can realize what it means for you. Will you accept the offer? Will I accept the offer? she cried, her eyes shining, indeed I will, but how can I ever thank you enough?,' By studying hard, he replied smiling. Now run along and have your good time while you can. Rose went to school as though she were in a dream. But, oh, how good it was to be back. She was soon very busy with her part in the graduation exercises, perfectly happy, And when several days before commencement she received a little chain bearing a card which said, To my little friend who has studied hard, she was supremely happy. She felt as if her summer in the mill would be a pleasure instead of the task she had dreaded, and at the end was the longed for position which would make her mother happy and contented.
