Hobby-Getting ads Ambition-To handle the cash We cannot, of course, all be handsome, And it's hard for us all to be goodg We are sure now and then to be lone- some And we don't always do as we should. To be patient is not always easy To be cheerful is much harder still, But at least we can always be pleasant If we make up our minds that we will. And it pays every time to be kindly, Although we feel lonely and blueg If you smile at the world and look cheer- ful, The world will soon smile at you. So try to brace up and look pleasant, No matter how long you are downg Good humor is always contagious, But you banish your friends when you frown. -EX.

We have been among the first to share the benefits of this glorious in- stitution with its well-aDD0in'fCd equip' ment and surroundings for the develop- ment of mind, body and soul. We kr10W how zealously the School'Board worked to provide for Pontiac a high school that would be a credit to the c1ty. HOW Well they succeeded has been heralded far and near. Visitors from all over the land have sounded its praises. We, who have had the privilege to become llltl- mately acquainted with its splendid fa- cilities for study and recreation 'and to live in its wholesome and mspirmg at- mosphere, should be truly thankful. We are, and take occasion to record here a resolution of appreciation and thanks to the School Board, the Superintendent.

The style of building is rather unique and pleas- ing to the eye. lt also has the appear- ance of being useful as well as ornamen- tal. In some cases possibly they are what they pretend to be-the ends of rafters, but in most cases they are not the projection of rafters at ally they are simply pieces of wood shaped like a rafter and then nailed to the under side of the eaves and the cornices. They give the effect of supporting their por- tion of the roof, while in reality they do not support anything. They were nailed on after the roof was completedg they could bc removed without affecting the stability of the roof in the least. In fact, as the years go by, the nails loosen and these pieces of wood drop to the ground. They are called Ccorrectly so, by earpentersj, false rafters. So much for my introduction. Now I wish to make a few comparisons and applications of this rather crude idea, to life.' There are many people in society to- day who are playing the part of the false rafter. They like to poseg to seem rather than to beg to appear im- portant whether they are or not. They are constantly doing things to attract attention. They strut around like a big Thanksgiving turkey, and try ,to over- awe society with,their sublime egotism. They assume the airs of a millionaire, when if the truthuwere known, they have not suflicient income to pay for the uup-keep of a Ford Trying to imitate the rich, they eke out a miser- able existence of sham and pretense. They almost hypnotize themselves into believing they are the whole works, when really their influence could be measured with a micrometer gauge. Another type of the , false rafter is the person who poses as knowing all there is to be known. If an author hap- pens to be misquoted, he will make it convenient to lug the same quotation into his conversation and give it cor- rectly, then assume an air of superi- or intelligence. If you mention a cer- tain city, or a bit of natural scenery that you have visited, he has been there, too, and poses as having traveled all over Page Forty-three the United States and a part of southern Michigan. He knows exactly how the late war started, and any view contrary to his is entirely and absolutely absurd. All the perplexing problems of life that have puzzled the most of us are as clear to him as the noon-day sun. He has read possibly a book or two on Dar- winism or Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, and so talks in a sort of ped- antic and supercilious style. He may have accomplished nothing in life, yet he is cock sure that he could run this government if given the chance, etc., etc. Now, the elements of true greatness may be summed up in two words: genu- iness and simplicity. True importance is always simple. The man who is at the head of a big establishment does not keep the caller waiting in an outer room while he reads the morning paper to impress him with his importance. Not much! He thinks too much of his work to be thinking of himself. He has no time to play to the grand stand. He works quietlyg says as few words as possible, and does much. No time to pose. He has dignity and poise, ease and grace. He is a genuine, earnest man: his own natural self. In conclusion: Seniors, you are about through with this high school. We have done about all We can for you. As you pass on into active life, do not assume to be what you are not: do not be a false rafter. Do not cling to influen- tial 'friends for support. Be natural: be your own'true self. Of all things to be despised, hypocrisy and pretense stand first. The man who walks up and shakes hands with you in your graduation night, and incidentally wishes you success will, the next morning be your competitor in sharp business deals. Do not lean on him. Stand on your own feet and re- member that in the long run, merit wins. Aim to be a credit to yourself as well as to your Alma Mater, and an influence for good to the community in which you live. You will sooner or later be called upon to shoulder the responsibil- ities now being borne by your fathers, not only in business but in governmental and commercial affairs. Aim to do bet- ter than they have done: be an improve- ment on the old stock. You have had better and greater opportunities than they, hence more will be expected in return. S. M. DUDLEY. ' w Elm. Q-JU HQTQ 'Ulmer QR Webster Elmer R. Webster was born in the Township of White Lake, Oakland County, Michigan, attended district schools for a time, finally came to the city of Pontiac, attended the Pontiac High School, and graduated from the same in the class of 1874. He entered the University of Michigan and gradu- ated therefrom in the literary class of 79 and the law course of 80 having been out of the university work for one year on account of the death of his father Immediately after his graduation from the law department Mr Webster moved to the city of Pontiac and opened a law office Soon after opening this office the law relative to the inspection of district schools was changed For some years the licensing of teachers and the inspec tion of the district school had been vested in the respective school inspec tors for each township Very often the school inspectors were men of little or no education and the system was avery defective one In the session of 1881 the Legislature provided for the elec tion of three school examiners, to be selected at a Joint meeting of the school county and to these three men was given the authority of licensing teachers to teach in the district schools of their respective county but the supermten dence and inspection of the schools in the different townships still remained with the township school inspectors At the first meeting of the school in spectors, Elmer R Webster of Pontiac, Clark Stanton of Oxford and Thomas S Clark of Highland, were chosen as the board of school examiners and from that time on Mr Webster has been ae tively and closely in touch with educa tional matters in both the rural districts and the city of Pontiac Soon thereafter the law was changed taking from the township inspectors the supermtendence of schools and vesting the same very properly, in the board of school examiners The work of exam inspectors of the townships of .each I . , , , ZZ :L hfa 1' Kia : I l ri 'Z if v ,.. . 5.

A little brook meandered past the garden on its way to join the Bann river which flowed into Lough Neagh just beyond the school building was the athletic field which was the scene of many a hard-fought battle and where as a boy I stood and cheered for Charlie as he fought desperately to bring victory to our colors. In those days bicycle riding was the one great sport which eclipsed all others, and the Glenavon Athletic club whose grounds were situated on the outskirts of the town of Lurgan was one of the greatest sporting centers in Ireland. There every year the championship races were held and athletes from Eng- anc Scotland Wales and France came over to compete. The club had mem- bers who were capable of eompeting with the best these countries could pro- duce, and competition in the various events was very keen indeed. It was considered a great honor to belong to the club and a series of elimination con- tests was held each year before the big annual event, which occurred in August, so that the best men might be selected to carry the blue and gold which were the clubs colors Charlie became a member soon after entering the Lurgan I-Ilgh School, and his sensational performances on the bl cycle soon brought him considerable notice During his first year he entered a number of meets which were held on the club grounds and also in var1ous sections of the country and on almost all occasions emerged victorious His wonderful endurance his tremendous sprint at the end of a hard ten mile race won for him the name of the Iron Man a name which stuck to him throughout his racing career, and for years afterward The following year he raced in Bel fast Dublin Cork and Limerick and everywhere he went the Blue and Gold when valuable prizes were given and his room was filled with all kinds of trophies silver cups gold cups watches barometers rifles pianos, tea sets and a heterogeneous mass of smaller things. How proud his mother was of him, and with what a smile of satisfaction did his father usher visitors into Charlie s room! Every man in the township of Moy- were victorious. Those were the days raverty swore Dy n'm and would have bet their last shilling that he could beat any man in the world. ' Throughout the third year nothing was talked of but the great meet,in August when Charlie was to race against the best riders of England, Ire- land and Scotland for the ten-mile cham- pionship of the British Isles. Little was known of the caliber of the Seotehmen but 1n Dick Robertson England had one of the best men who ever put foot on a Pedal. He was ai giant in size, seemingly a tireless rider and had been champion of England for two years. Moreover he Was 2-J Years old and Charlie was but a lad not having yet reached his Clghteenlfll lJ1l'tl'ld3.y.

Not only was I to see Lharlie race, but I was also to take part in the quarter mile flat, open to school boys under the age of 14. All morning trains were arriving from Dublin, Bel- fast, and many other towns throughout the north of Ireland. Englishmen, Scotchmen and lfVelshmen who had crossed the Irish sea the previous day tumbled out of the coaches and hurried to the athletic field. The city was gaily decorated with flags and hunting, while a great triumphal arch, bearing the in- scription, Cead Mille Failthe, spanned William street. Thousands of people lined the streets to watch the arrival of the visitors, and every Irishman wor- thy of the name had a shamrock in his button-hole. Street vendors called out their wares, and a great business was done in ginger ale, lemonade, pop, and all the other drinkables that satisfy, or, rather, increase the thirst of a holiday crowd. The great double rleckers at the athletic field were quickly filled, and long before 10 o'clock not a seat was vacant, while thousands of disappointed ones yelled hoarsely for admission. In the training quarters rubbers were at work on the athletes, and coaches were busy giving them their last instructions. At 10:15 the Prince of Wales and a number of ladies and gentlemen who were visit- ing Lord Lurgan arrived, and the crowd arose en masse to give them a royal welcome. The prince, who, on the death of Queen Victoria became Edward VII, arose, hat in hand, to acknowledge the applause of the crowd, and at 10:30 the gun was fired which sent the hundred- yard men racing down the track. Be- tween events, a band of 60 pieces be- longing to the Royal Irish Fusiliers, played patriotic airs, while every victory which went to Wales was celebrated by 300 Welshmen, who arose and sang their national airs. Now, the rose of England was out in front, again the thistle of Scotland, and often the shamrock of Ireland fiashed by in the lead. Space does not permit me to describe each event, so I will conhne myself to the ten-mile bicycle race for the cham- pionship of the British Isles. There were 15 starters, five Irishmen, four Scotchmen, three Welshnien, and three Englishmen. It was conceded by the dopesters that the race lay between the great Englishman, Robertson, and Charlie Jones. When the men appeared, a hush of anticipation fell upon the Page Forty-seven . is crowd, soon to be broken by the voices of men in the betting ring, who eagerly called out the odds on the ditiferent rid- ers. So conlident were English sports- men, they gave odds as high as three to one on Robertson, and lrishmen tum- bled over each other in order to cover the bets. Charlie, as usual, was cool and smiling, while the Englishman, cour- teous and affable, shook hands with him. Vfhat a contrast the two men, or rather the man and boy, presented. The Englishman towered six feet three inches, while Charlie, who stood only tive feet eight. seemed a dwarf in com- parison. The race was to be decided from scratch, each man to draw for posi- tion. The track, built of cement and banked high at the corners, was one of the best in the British Isles, and fully capable of accommodating that number of riders. Fraser of Scotland won the pole. Charlie stood third in line, while Dick Robertson held fifth place. After receiving instructions from the starter. the men lined up in position, thc gun cracked, and they were off on the long. hard grind. A roar went up from the Scotch section as Fraser immediately took the lead: Charlie, keeping close on the inside track fell into fourth position, and Dick Robertson, wise rider that he was, took sixth position. Round and round the men circled at a rapid pace. no change occurring until the end ofthe second mile, when reckless Pat Dono- van llashed out in front, and for two more miles raced at break-neck speed. Charlie, now fourth, now fifth, now sixth, allowed the foolish ones to take the lead and break the wind for him. seemingly content to keep the pace and reserve his strength for the last ten laps, which usually decided the race. At the end of the sixth mile, he was riding third, with Fraser first and Rob- erts of Wales in second place. In the twenty-fifth lap, an accident occurred which proved serious for some of the riders. Pat Donovan, who was riding in tenth place, suddenly jumped for the lead. Macdonald of Scotland, who was riding sixth, swerved out of line and jumped at almost the same instant. They collided and went sprawling on the track. Dick Robertson, who was eighth, in trying to avoid them, swung off the track, and before he could stop himself, had ridden into the athletic held, where, according to the rules, he had to turn around and continue the race from the M - , avg t place where he left the track. This accident left him half a lap be- hind the leaders, and he seemed to be hopelessly out of it. Charlie, hearing the yells of the crowd, looked across the held and saw the Englishman's predica- ment. For two laps he kept calling to the two men in front of him to slow up and give the Englishman a chance, but they paid no heed, whereupon he delib- erately stopped and waited for the Eng- lishman to overtake him. A cheer such as never before was heard on the Glen- avon athletic grounds, rent the air, and the Prince of Wales was seen to rise and clap his hands. And now commenced a race which has gone down as the greatest in his- tory. With three-quarters of a lap to gain, the Englishman and Irishman paced each other 'round the track at a speed never before seen nor never since equaled. Lap after lap they raced, now the Englishman in front, now the Irish- man, rivals no longer but partners, each seeking to assist the other. Foot by foot they gained on the leaders, while the crowd-English, Irish, Scotch and Welsh-cheered them on, every racial feeling gone in the spectacle of a gallant deed done by a gallant Irishman. Fraser of Scotland and Roberts of Wales were making every effort to maintain their lead, but slowly and sure- ly these two men behind were creeping up on them. With five laps to go, a scant fifty yards separated the contest- ants, and two laps from home Robertson flashed past the leaders, with Charlie not a yard behind him. Down the back stretch, 'round the curve, and into the straightaway, they raced, without any change in their posi- tions. The gun cracked, warning them that they were on the last lap, With heads lowered, these two great men pre- pared for a supreme effort, Charlie on the outside, Robertson still holding the pole. Neck and neck they raced, with not an inch seemingly between their two front wheels. Breathlessly the crowd watched, too excited to cheer. When fifty yards from home, Charlie seemed to make a superhuman effort, and flashed past the grandstan-d, winner by half a wheel. Pandemonium broke loose, hats were thrown in the air, and never came back to their owners. Women wept, men who had never seen each other before shook hands, and the Royal Fusiliers' band played Hark the Conquering Hero Comes. When the excitement had died down somewhat, Charlie returned to his quar- ters, but not alone. Beside him, with his arm thrown over his shoulder, strode the great Englishman, prouder in defeat than victory, because that day had given him a friend who was more valuable than all the gold medals and champion- ships in the world. And now you have heard the story of how a boy won the championship of the British Isles before reaching his eighteenth year--a feat never before nor since accomplished. Page Forty-eight H Q.

Y li Q, J Qlmlestem By Ear It was 12 o'clock noon when our last good-byes were said, and 10 p. rn. when we arrived at the Dearborn station in Chicago. Soon we were bounding over the pavement of Chicagds streets on our way to the Union Depot, some blocks distant. There we procuredg ,reservations to Salt Lake City and boarded a Pullman on the Burlington Limited. After an uneventful night with usual sleeping car acdommodations, we awoke the next morning and had breakfast, and then straightened ourselves around for our day's ride. After lunch we passed thru Council Bluffs, crossed the Missouri river, and stopped at the large Burling- ton station in Omaha. We had but a few minutes here, and were soon on our way again, the next stop being at Lin- coln, Nebraska, made noted by our would-be president, William Jennings Bryan. Not far from Lincoln we plunged into the wheat fields which we saw for the remainder of the day The next morning we rode thru miles and miles of prairies the only thing breaking the monotony was the little prairie dogs that were running about near the tracks Before long our train pulled into the Denver depot where we changed roads going by the Denver 81 Rio Grande to Salt Lake City Upon leaving Denver we had our first view of the foothills which gradually increased in size until we stopped at Colorado Springs and viewed Pikes Peak Leaving Colorado Springs we ap proached the entrance to the Royal Gorge I have no idea of trying to give a minute description of it more than to say that it is a great cleft in the pink rocks, thru which run a river and a rail road and how the latter managed to keep out of the former was a constant source of wonder to me It really af fects those who behold it w1th a kind of literary asthma They desire to describe it some passionately but they only wheeze and look as though they might explode We certainly found it as ad vertised Denver itself I thought of as being placed further west upon the continent than is in reality the case I did not realize at all that the city is in fact only a few hundred miles west of the halfway point on an imaginary line Page Forty nine W le S. emnries Kneale. drawn from coast to coast: nor was I aware that, instead of being for the most part a sloping plain, the thousand miles that intervene between Denver and the Pacific .ocean is made up of a series of mountain ranges and valleys, their suc- cessive crests and hollows following one another like waves of the sea. The following morning we found our- selves in Utah, not many miles from its capital-Salt Lake City. The city itself had a kind of flat sound in my ears, and in that mental album of imag- inary photographs of cities, I saw the Mormon capital as a sandy plain, with the tabernacle in the center, in front of which was great Salt Lake. stopped overnight, visiting nacle and salt-air beach. Nearly all the buildings are owned and operated by Mormons. In the citv square is located Brigham Young's statue, father of the Mormons. Salt Lake proper is located 17 miles from the city and is reached by a branch railroad We did not have time to visit all the places of interest tn this one day stop over allowed us The next day we passed thru '72 miles of salt desert nothing but the glaring white salt and a few telephone poles be ing visible for hours This was fol lowed by a hopeless waste of sage brush and cactus Upon awakening the following morn mg we were passing thru Feather River canon The last time I had looked out it had been autumn and winter yet here within the space of a few hours had come the spring Gur train was winding along a serpentine shelf nicked into the lofty walls of a gorge at the bottom of which rushed a mad stream all green a11d foamy Above the mountains were covered with tall pines Their straight trunks reaching heavenward like slender columns of a Gothic cathedral the roof of which was made of low hung stone gray clouds Throughout the hundred miles that we followed the windings of the Feather River canon our eyes hardly left the window Now we would crash thru a short black tunnel emerging to find still greater loveliness now we would cioss a spmdly bridge which quickly changed the view Cand usb to the other side of the car At last the walls of the canon began to melt away into the gentle Here we the taber- A gm' .wut Ll J 1 , y ' ' .

The next stop was at the Mole, where we took the ferry across to San Francisco. Soon we were in the big ferry depot, where everybody seems to be in a terrible hurry. We spent a few weeks in 'Frisco. where we visited the Exposition and Golden Gate park, together with the famous Chinatown. The location of the Panama-Pacific exposition was both ac- cessible and lovely, for it had the city upon one side and the bay, and Golden Gate upon the other. Across the bay rose Mount Tamalpias in a gray-green haze, as if placed there for a suitable background to the gorgeous terra cotta palaces in the foreground. Instead of being smooth and white, like those of previous World's Fairs, the buildings had the streaked texture of travertine stone, with a general coloring somewhat warmer than that of travertine. Domes, doorways and other architectural details were rich in soft greens and blues, and the whole group of buildings, viewed from the hills behind, resembled abeau- tiful modern city. Every phase of Arn- erican life found its place there, and near- ly all the States of the Union had their own buildings. In spite of the war, the foreign nations were well represented. An aviation field, race track, and live stock yards adjoined the central build- ings, while in the Presidio was held the competitive drills and army maneuvers. The Tower of Jewels faced an exquisite garden, a magic carpet of flowers. Beau- tiful statuary adorned the courts and surmounted the triumphal arches. At night a flood of electric illumination pre- vailed, and made it all the more beau- tiful. Our first stop after leaving 'Frisco was at Santa Barbara, and from there we proceeded the next morning to Los An- geles. Los Angeles is a beautiful city. filled with boosters, and I believe we encountered every kind that creeps, crawls, walks, crows, cries, bellows, barks or brays. However, we survived the siege and visited some of the beau- tiful parks, as well as the suburbs, such as Pasadena. Hollywood, Ocean Park, VCl1lCC.HHd Long Beach, together with the -Universal City, a unique motion pic- ture- plant run. as a municipality. Con- PIUUIHE OPI' UID south, we soon arrived m San DICEQ. wherewe visited the sec- ond exposition. This exposition, altho if being much smaller, was more beautiful than the one at 'Fr1sco.

Soon after leaving Field' we passed the Great Divide, where a sparkling stream separates into two wa- ters, one flowing to the Pacific and the other to the Hudson Bay. Here the backbone of the continent is reached. Our next stop-over was at Laggan, where, hidden off behind the mountains, is Lake Louise. Such glory of light and color, such sparkling mirror water, such magnificence of everygreen mountains and rocky steeps, and snow and ice and clouds may exist in other variations, but to me it seems that nowhere else in the world can they be surpassed. Lake Lou- ise is the gem for which the Canadian Rockies are the setting. Picturesquely situated on the verge of the lake is the chateau, Lake Louise, where comfort- able accommodations and excellent ser- vice are afforded. A few miles farther on, Banff, the gateway to the Canadian National Park, is reached. No part of the Rockies exhibits a greater variety of pleasing scenery. Banff Springs hotel is nestled in the midst of impressive mountains overlooking Bow River and Falls. One could spend months in these mountains, but even a hurried trip thru the Rockies is an experienceunever to be forgotten. Banff, the beautiful: Lake Louise, the wonderful: Field, the majes- ticg and Glacier, the mighty, are terms used by people who have remained suf- ficiently long to catch the full inspira- tion of these matchless resorts. It af- fords one an opportunity of seeing not only the wonders of nature in the moun- tains but the wonders of man in build- ing a railroad thru them, The whole thing is a perfect maze, the railroad doubles back upon itself twice, tunneling under mountains and crossing the river twice in order to cut down the grade. We left Banff at night. In the morn- ing, as we climbed from our berths, the porter inquired pleasantly: Well, gen- tlemen, how did you all enjoy yo' sleep? We assured him that we had slept well. Yes, sah: yes, sah, he rc- plied. That,s the way it most gen'ally is up here. People either sleeps well or they don't. The Canadian Pacific Rail- way winds for some distance thru the foothills before plunging into the vast wheat-bearing prairie land, where new towns are springing up almost daily. From here on, our journey was unevent- ful, altho we enjoyed visiting the follow- ing cities: Winnipeg, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Chicago. I had always fancied that a flight across the continent would prove fa- tiguing and seem verv. very long, but. however others may have found it. it seemed short to me. Looking back over the run from the Pacific coast to Chi- cago, I feel as though it had consumed but a night any one long, interesting dayda day full of changing scenes and episodes. The three things I remember best about the journey are the wonder- ful squab guinea chicken I had, one night for dinner, the pretty girl with the de- mure expression, and the mischievous blue eyes, and the accommodations on the Soo Line, which may be compared to those of the P., O.

In due time their search was reWHl'dCCl. and 35 it came into view around the bend, Free- port's four gentlemen of leisure slowly arose and walked to the station. Not that the coming of the train was an un- usual event, for it had a habit of coming in every day, more or less on time- usually less. Ah, no, this was 'not the underlying reason why ye citizens of Freeport had disengaged themselves from their comfortable positions On the sun-bathed porch of the Village Inn and strolled over to see the train pass by. The real reason, for as you know, gentle reader, there is a reason in every- thing, was that the train was slowing down, signifying its intention of stop- ping. As it rolled in forty minutes late, from its lone dusty coach appeared the new editor of the town weekly in the form of six feet two of Jimmie McNeil, col- lege graduate, athlete and aspiring jour- nalist, accompanied by three trunks,two valises and an extremely weary look which merged into one of eager interest as he gazed about him. It is probably rather doubtful if Jim- mie, in choosing Freeport as his destina- tion, realized just what kind of a town he had chosen. To be truthful, it is doubtful if Jimmie cared so long as he could make a success of his first busi- ness venture, The Freeport Clarionf' Had he known some years earlier what this town held for him, he might have paid more attention to baseball and less to football and track. Upon finishing the survey of his im- mediate surroundings, Jimmie set out for the Clarion office, which he found in the exact condition its former owner had left it. Papers were strewn about the floor, over the desk and type cases, and a thick coat of dust covered every- thing in sight. An hour's cleaning ac- quainted Jimmie with the fact that his digestive organs were running rather short of fuel, and so, putting on his coat, he walked to the far-famed dining hall of the Village Inn, where he was the mark of all eyes, and pointed out as the city fellow who had come down to run the paper. As Jimmie sat at the table, wrestling with more or less success, with a life- sized steak, he managed to become ac- quainted with one George Carscadden, cashier of the First National bank, and captain of the baseball team. And right here, we advise you to look George over as he sits at the table suspicio ' eating peas with his knife, for ht destined to play an all-important pai our story.

So he decided the squire was the man to procure interview with in regard to the inst tion of the new town pump, whiel had heard talked of during his Supp Promptly at seven-thirty he poul the old-fashioned knocker at Squire's and as he stood waiting fl response to his knock, there was a swish of skirts, the door was whi: open and there stood the daintiest of feminine loveliness Jimmie had seen. She was small, without being small, her hair was a soft brown, her eyes sparkled forth the vivaci ness which seemed to bubble out over her. Perhaps her beauty and traetiveness are best summed up E remark which Jimmie made some 1 later to Jed, the 'hotel clerk, who orating upon the beautiful womer Caesar's time and bewailing the that none of them were living now.

EVE you would be sure to say that she was the pl'6ttlCSt girl you had ever Seen Her manner was altogether charming and she refused to take anything ser iously This was the position in which Jimmie found himself as he stood face to face with this country maid Jimmie veteran of a hundred dances felt exactly like the twelve year old school boy making his first call However after some moments he managed to regain enough of his composure to venture that it was a pleasant evening which brought from her a peal of laughter in which he Joined for it was raining steadily This broke the ice and Jimmie inquired if the Squire was m and if he could see him Phyllis ushered him past the par lor where upon looking in he per ceived George Carscadden sitting upon the old hair cloth sofa as though he was perfectly at home Immediately Jimmie felt a dislike for him without knowing why and as he followed Phyllis into the room where her father was seated he found himself wondering how many nights a week George was in the habit of calling He mechanically intro duced himself to the Squire and stood looking after Phyllis as she left the room. However he was brought rudely to earth by the old man who inquired testily if he had come to see him or his daughter but Jimmie by diplomacy. averted a war which might have ended in his being forcibly routed by the Squire by asking him for his views re- garding the new town pump. The pros- pect of having his name in the paper was received with pleasure and when it was learned that Jimmie was the new editor of the Clarion his position in the friendship of the Squire was assured and a half hour later they were at the old mans favorite pastime checkers and were talking and joking like old cronies. About nine-thirty upon hearing the outside door close Jimmie ventured that he had better be moving along and his fondest hopes were realized when the 'Squire suggested that Phyllis might be able to give him some items of interest concerning the younger set. He was sure s e could and spent an hour sitting on e old hair-cloth sofa listening to what t e Jones' and Perkinses had done or the past month but while his pencil worked diligently his thoughts were Page Fifty-three . 6 Q vig.. . ever of the girl by his side Jimmie had seen many pretty girls in his day but never had one so completely taken him as had Phyllis He found himself Jealously wondering how many nights George Carscadden spent upon the sofa and resolved to beat him to it the next night if this were possible to do As they walked to the door he tremu lously asked her if he might call again To be sure she replied with a most bewitching smile The next evening as Jimmie arose from his supper in the hotel he saw George Just coming in and he smiled as he thought of that worthys surprise when he should find his seat at the Squire s occupied and still smiling he set out for his initial call He was warmly welcomed by both the Squire an Phyllis and after a few remarks took his position on the sofa They were Just beginning to get acquainted when the door bell rang and Phyllis said Here comes George Her eyes spark led misehieviously as she added H will be delightfully pleased to see you here for I am sorry to say that George is greatly annoyed by that green eyed monster Jealousy George s look as he entered the room was one which Jimmie never forgot It was a combination of surprise anger jealousy and rage which was so ludicrous that Jimmie could not keep from laugh- ing and turning his face away he emitted a low but unmistakable chuckle. The effect was something like that pro- duced by dropping a match in a barrel of gasoline. Immediately Georges anger flared up and after a moments embarrassing pause he said cuttingly Humph I see you have another caller Phyllis I didnt know you were enter- taining every escaped convict that comes into 'town. If Jimmie had been a regular hero, we suppose he would have 'struck George to the ground with one blow of his powerful fist but as he was only an ordinary young man he did nothing of the sort. His face convulsed with laughter straightened and rising slowly he walked to where his adversary stood. I hope you meant nothing personal by that last remark of yours was all he said. Carscadden looking slowly up and down the six feet two of Jimmies athletic frame decided that it would be best to hope so too and turning on his heel he left the room without a word.

He'l'l be all right in the morning, let us sit down and forget about it. That evening after Jimmie left, the Squire called Phyllis into his study and as she entered he said, Phyllis, I am about to make a strange request of you. Today George Carscadden asked me for your hand in marriage and after thinking the matter ,over I gave my answer- that you would marry the man who does. the most to win the pennant for Free- port and Phyllis I am going to ask you to uphold me in my reply You ve known George all your life child hes a good honest young man with a big chance to be some one in the world He is easily the best man on our team and of course will do the most to win the pennant You will marry him won t you daughter Why of course replied Phyllis of course father Ill marry the man who does the most to win the pennant for Freeport And yet as she kissed her father good night the first shadow of doubt as to the sentiments of her own heart en tered her mind D1d she really love George? Then as she thought the more she seemed to see beside the face of her life long friend the picture of her new found admirer and try as she might she ,could not keep Jimmie from her dreams After this incident things went along Jimmie saw little of Carscadden and thought little more except that on the nights when he was not at the Squires he knew that his rival was sitting on the hair cloth sofa But with the coming of spring Jim mie noted changes in the tranquillity of Freeport The first inklmg of any alter ation in the daily routine of life which he received came in the shape of many inquiries in regard to what he thought were the Daisies chances against the Bingers His absolute ignorance of the owners of these names gave him no lit tle discomliture and finally in despera tion he decided to ask Phyllis who and what these two parties might be What's all th-is talk about'Daisies and Bingers? he inquired' that evening as he assumed his regular Wednesday-night seat upon the sofa., - Reminds me'of college, the day before a big gameff 1 It's base ball, replied Phyllis, Free- port belongs to the Coal Belt League which consists of Coalville and ourselves- and we have an agreement that the team- winning the pennant two years out-of three is to hold it permanently: The' First year we won it, but last year the Bingers beat us pretty badly so this year we've simply got to win it. 0, Jimmie, she added, turning the full power of her great dark eyes upon him, can't you play base ball? But when Jimmie looked into those wonderful eyes, he forgot all of base ball and everything else expect the girl by his side He took her unresistmg hand in his large one and drew her close to him Softly he told her of his great love for her and asked her to be his wife Phyllis turned away and was silent Dont you love me Phyllis? h urged O Jimmie I do indeed but That was enough for Jimmie He folded her in his arms and held her close to h1m She tried to speak but her words were lost Finally she made him listen Jimmie dear she said sadly even though I do love you I have promised father that I would marry the man that did the most to win the pennant for the Daisies Last night George asked me- to marry him and I told him of my promise He IS an excellent plaver and is confident of victory But Jimmie I am hoping that you can defeat him and win the pennant ' of base ball in my life exclaimed Jim mie O but you must play answered Phyllis play for Freeport and for me After the game I will be waiting here for he victor O Timmle it must be you' As he held her in his arms he too knew that it must be he But as they talked on about the teams and he learned of the brilliant plays George had made he became less confident and it was a thoughtful Jimmie that bade her a fond good night Strolling rather despondently mtg the hotel he saw the constable entering a small door in the rear and wondering what was behind it he entered also, and Page Fifty four 1 .

Here were its most influential citizens interestedly gambling on the green, and George Carscadden was one of the party. 1-Im, soliloquized Jimmie, so this is where he spends his evenings when he isn't with Phyllis. What a riot there would be if the wives of some of ye citizens should see them here, and still smiling at the picture he went to his room. The Daisies' call for candidates found Jimmie's name at the top of the list, and the end of summer found it still there-there but that was all for at base ball Jimmie was an absolute failure. If it were only foot ball or track, he groaned as he sat on the edge of his bed, I'd show 'em. But it was not foot ball or track and with the coming of fall Jimmie's vision of showing 'em seemed out of reach. And so things wore on. Two nights before the game, Jimmie was returning from his regular Wednesday night call, glum and despondent. Finally in the hope of awakening himself, he dropped into the little room again to find George Carscadden playing with three traveling men. The stakes were high and finally after a desperate attempt to reeuperate his losses, George found himself minus five thousand dollars. We want that money before eight tomorrow, said one of the three, or the whole town will hear of your little game. O you'll get it all right, snarled Cars- cadden, Come to my room at six to- morrow evening and I'll give it to you. With this he left the room without hav- ing seen Jimmie. When Jimmie reached his room, he was unable to sleep and so dressing again, he put on his cap and went out thinking that a walk would fix mmlup. As he passed the bank, he saw a light before the safe and George Carscadden moving about. First he thought of in- vestigating, then restrained himself. He's the cashier, he said to himself. He has a right to be there if he wants to, and with this he strolled back to the hotel and dismissed the incident from his mind. As he was standing in the office the next day, Carscadden came rushing in with the alarming news that the bank had been robbed of five thousand dollars. Immediately the whole town was in an Page Fifty-five uproar and a run on the ba.nk was started. Farmers' wagons clattered up the street, men came in on horseback, and there was a mad rush to draw out their money. As Jimmie stood in the window of the Clarion office he heard the door open and turning he saw Phyllis. O Jimmie, she cried, can't we do something. Father says unless this is stopped in an hour we'll be ruined. O Jimmie do something to save my poor, dear old Dad. There now, replied Jimmie, strok- ing her soft hair, just a minute and we'll have it all fixed up. Zeke! he called to the typesetter, take that story off the front page and get everything ready for an extra. Then Jimmie sat down at the type- writer and wrote in feverish haste. In a moment he tore the paper from the mach-ine and half an hour later the first extras were in the hands of the panic- stricken crowd, telling how an un- expected shipment of ten thousand dol- lars had saved the bank. The effect was instantaneous. Many re-deposited their monQy, the run on the bank was stopped, but most important of all-Phyllis and her father had been saved. That afternoon during base ball prac- tice, Jimmie decided to do a little in- vestigating on his own hook, and slip- ping quietly into Carscadden's room he found there, in the bottom of the trunk, what he had expected to find-the five thousand dollars. His first thought was of telling the Constable and then stop- ping himself he said, No, it wouldn't be fair. If Carscadden doesn't play we may loose the pennant, so he sat down and wrote a note which the Constable should receive after the game. The next afternoon at two o'clock the grandstand was packed and every avail- able place was put into use to view the big game. Jimmie sitting disconsolately on the bench saw Phyllis in the stand and her face seemed to say, Remember. Jimmie, this is your last chance, and he gritted his teeth for the umpire was calling Play'balll Inning after inning wore on without a run for either side until finally at the beginning of the ninth the score stood nothing to nothing. On the first ball pitched, the Coalville slugger sent the ball into left for a double but this was the extent of their rally. for the next three were easily outs. Rufe Crow was ffr X 'L . X n .4 ' il!-W by I I U ll VE IJ . the first man up for Freeport and the first ball pitched struck him on the ankle. His evident pain brought J1mrn1e quickly to his side and upon examina- tion it was found that the ankle was broken. ' u ' Run for me, Jimmie, said Crow, and it's up to you. D Jimmie took second on Jed's sacrifice and third as the Constable singled. The next man up was Carscadclen. On thrlee pitched balls he struck out and while Jimmie had hoped that George might line her out his pulse quickencd for he knew that his rival's chance of win- ning Phyllis was gone. The Constable took second on the next ball and it looked as though a hit would mean two runs, but now the pitcher settled down and as the next man struck out Jim- mie's heart sank for Rube Davis was up, and though an excellent pitcher he had never been known to make a hit. I've got to do something, said Jim- mie and pulling his cap over his eyes he took a long lead ot? third. The pitcher shot a glance at him and then as he turned to see the Constable's position, Jimmie was off like a flash and s as he slide over the plate the ball touched 'Q him just a second too late.. Jimmie won the game, the pennant and the girl. George? O yes, we nearly forgot him. room the Constable appeared with the H warrant and after a few words of de- fiance Carscadden confessed to the theft of the five thousand dollars. So now George has gone on a journey for his health and he tells us he is to be gone tive years. He further states that if any should care to write to him, he is living at that little red hotel with the sign Jail over the door. And now we suppose you would like to hear of Jimmie's trip and of his cruise upon the good ship Haircloth Sofa. O yes, Jimmie set out and as be pounded the old-fashioned knocker, he was met by the old Squire who wrung his hand and led him into a par- lor which he had seen before. There, upon the old hair cloth sofa sat Phyllis waiting for him. Their eyes met in one .WK 1' ' .1 ,i .Y . 1-.-' 1. 'ir long moment of happiness and under-'fi standing, Jimmie held out his arms ands?

The foot ball ball was given in the gym the Friday before Christmas va- cation. The hall and the pavilion in the center occupied by the orchestra were tastefully decorated in the high school colors. About fifty couples were in attendance. Shortly before Christmas vacation the first foot ball banquet was held in the cafeteria. All members of both first and second teams and several guests at- tended. After the supper, prepared by Mrs. Kidd and members of the Domes- tic Science classes, speakers were intro- duced. Former Captain Claude Os- borne and next year's Captain, Fred Boardman, made a few remarks. The banquet was complimentary to the play- ers and will probably be made an an- nual event. On March 24th, a banquet was given in the lunch room to the members of the basket ball teams, boys and girls. After the dinner, speeches were given by Captain Hammond, next year's Cap- tain, Slater, Mr. Quayle, Mr. Beattie, Miss Colvin, Miss Hill and Mr. Jenner, Mr. Rogers acting as toastmaster. An impromptu dance in the gym followed. Willits' orchestra furnished the music for the occasion. The Sophs enjoyed the hospitality of Jessie Scott late in February when she entertained the class at a Sleighride party, On account of the lack of snow, the party was obliged to go in wagons, but this did not impair thc spirits of the happy crowd that Miss Hinds and Miss Heitsch chaperoned.

The Board of Education this year pro- vided for a series of entertainments for the student body and public that ex- celled all previous attempts in this direction. A lecture course was ar- ranged with five performances. The First on November 8 was given by the Ben Greet players in Much Ado About Nothing. This number was a wonder- ful success and received much worthy praise from the public. The musician Cadman and Princess Redfeather charmed their audience on December 4. with their Indian songs and musical instruments. The war chants of the Indian were wonderfully produced by the talented Cadman and Princess Redfeather with her splendid voice sang the love songs and lullabys of the red men. President Burns, the mountaineer from Kentucky, entertained us on March G with a lecture on the Kentucky Moun- taineer, about his trials and obstacles and how they are being overcome in a small degree. Gav Zenola MacLaren was unable to appear on her scheduled date but ar- rived on April 4. Her interpretation of Daddy Long Legs was one ofthe most enjoyable programs that Pontiac people have ever had the pleasure of hearing. lvl, f W ' -v x .

The memories of its progress Flash like visions in a d1'G21m- Swiftly the time has passed since we, the class of 1916, Hrst entered the shacks, so well known to all our mem- bers, the shacks, which then repre- sented Pontiac High School. No stately structure, nor beautiful grounds, nor shady grove was there to meet our eye and welcome usg but, rather a wooden shed with a Hat, low roof, surrounded by sand and a dirty, muddy river. In such a place as this, we., as Fresh- men, entered upon our high school career. Difficulties met us on every hand. But courage, perseverance, and the will to do a thing spurred us along our way. Our goal rose steadily before us, and all looked eagerly forward to the time when we might say in voices of joy and triumph, We are mighty Sen- iors! During the Hrst year, aided by the un- tiring efforts of our instructor, we be- came familiar with Algebra and its HX and Y, Ancient History with its long line of Polygnotes and Aristophanes, and 'Latin with its Puella est bona. English and Botany also claimed part of our attention, as well as athletics, music, and numerous social events. Among the latter, the Freshmen recep- tion was probably the greatest as at this time we became acquainted with our superiors. The business of the class, little though it may seem, was successfully carried on with the following as officers: Winniet Wright, President, Louis Schimmel, Vice Presidentg Charlotte Beattie, Secrctaryg Merill Hammond, Treasurer, and Harry Dernberger, Auditor. Beneath the shado f h w o t e shacks, we entered upon our second year of high school life. But hope was at the front. The school board was working vi?thh unceasing efforts, to give to us one o t e most beautiful and be ' high sch 1 b '1 ' ' Sf eqmpped u oo ul dmgs in the state. This year, as Sophomores, we beggn to feel as though our place in school was established and as though we really were of some account. We began to have more school spirit and to take a more active interest in school life. Drills in Caesar were a novelty, and I dare say that many a studious Sopho- more fought as hard va battle with his Latin as did Caesar's legions in the Gal- lic wars. It was at this time that we were introduced to Geometry with its theorems, propositions, and short, yet famous why? With pride and appreciation, we, now Juniors, entered the new high school, in September, 1914. Not only was the new school an incentive to ,more rigorous work, but our Superintendent and Prin- cipal, always striving for our interests, urged forward a better effort and more ehicient work. This year, we had the privilege of assembling twice a week for chapel in our large auditorium. Out- side talent as well as school talent in music, oratory, and addresses served as a diversion from regular school work, and helped to give us a broader knowl- edge on leading questions of the day. At this time, we secured class pins, after various discussions for the purpose of finding one suitable to all. Our Junior sleighride was a partnership affair with the Seniors. It was en- Joyed thoroughly by all who took it and WQS Pronounced a great success, this being one of the numerous social events held during the year. I number of Junior boys and girls Joined the dramatic society and a d , ppeare successfully in Shakespeare's Mid-Sum- mer N h ' ' . lg ts Dream. Prominent parts in base ball, foot ball, and basket ball were also filled by Juniors girls as ll , ., we as boys. The Junior Exhibition held in May wa th S- e first one to be held in the new auditorium and members of the class successfully represented characters of various European nations, with' Europa as their queen. en1nuSeptembef, 1915, we entered to ro and classify in high school for the last time, having grown to be grave, Page Sixty A llllll 5 Pi x 'I 'U YH T ll V E ll i 1. L . dignified Seniors. Social functions, ath- letic contests, banquets, and regular school routine have buried us, as well as deciding upon pictures, invitations, and various other things pertaining to graduation. Certainly, ours is a class, deserving of praise. Over thirty out of a class of seventy-one have as an average for the four years of high school work, a per- centage above ninety. That our class has been especially talented in other lines is shown by the fact that nine of our boys play in the band, ten are players in either basket ball, base ball or foot ball, while some of them are interested in oratory, dramatics. debating clubs, and other activities. The Booster Club, House of Representatives, and Toma- Page Sixty one QF 1' hawk were suggested and started by Seniors and have been largely sup- ported by thern. These facts, rather than hook learning, are the ones which will always stand out prominently. We have now only a slight realization of what it means to leave the school so dear to us and which calls to mind so many pleasant memories. Only too swiftly has the time passed by. Many friendships have been formed during these four years of association with other classmates, which can never be forgotten nor broken. As we leave and go forth into life, may we feel that our time has been well spent and may we never forget our happy high school days. for these, I think we will all agree, are the happiest day we shall ever know.

The Liiligh School 'iganir X l Pontiac High School has one organi- zation that few schools in the state haveg viz.: a high school band. To say that it helps to promote enthusiasm and loyal high school spirit, is putting it mildly. No organization in the city is looked upon any more favorably or spoken of more highly than the high school band. We are proud of them not only for the music they make, but for the good loyal spirit in which they ren- der it. They are always ready and willing to play, and enter into it with a snap and vim that would do credit to a professional band. Were you with us when we went to Detroit Central to play football? Did you see our team put up the fight of their lives? And did you notice how our band played right through to the end of the game and although we lost, how they came out and played between the halves? If you didnt, then you missed something. That's the kind of loyalty we like to see. And our band stayed right by us to the end. That's the kind of stuff that goes to make MEN. This is a typi- cal example of what one sees revealed whenever our band gets out. Its all for the high school. Go with us next year when we take a special for Detroit, and just listen to the ,jolly rollicking songs of our boys and girls, and hear the band play, on' the return home till their lips are all shot and there is nothing left to make an audible sound except the drums. This will give you a fair sample of high school enthusiam and loyal high school spirit, We are bound to be happy: win, lose or draw. The instruments belong to the individually except thee two tubas the baritone. These were I the Board of Education, and to the high school. The music is furnished by the School Board. The first sixteen uniforms were chased by subscription among the zens of Pontiac. Since then we purchased seven more, which the boys paid from money earned for various political gatherings other social functions. We need a drum quite badly right now, expecting any time to see smash both heads of the old drum in use. ' As the boys graduate and pass other fields of usefulness, others into high school ,take their places, so the band is kept intact. At present the following are with the band: Cornets-Lyons, Hammond, Beach, Schimmel and Decker. Altos-McHugh, Vernier, and Marsh. Trombones-Gordon, Philips, son and Elliott. Clarinets-Buttolph, Seeley, sha. Piccolo--Gardner. Saxophone-Willits. f Baritone-Auten. Tuba-Smith. Drums--Mulvey andMarsh. Director-S. M.

Rapid development of some of the members was more than a pleasing surprise and the director need never fear to call upon the or- chestra when needed to fill out. Its direct bearing as a separate organ- ization it itself upon the high school makes little impression, but its worth is felt in that which it lends to other at- tractions in both social and educational activities. A selection by the orchestra before the principal event serves as a splendid introductoryg and if a shift in scenery or other unavoidable delays oc- cur, a little music breaks the monotony any easy mood Besides this the orchestra serves a an incentive to the younger students o. the grade schools, which IS in itsel: worth all the work connected with,th orchestra.

Among them were eight of last year's letter men. As a whole the material was light. The majority of the members of the squad had had but little experience. Neverthe- less, showed signs of development. Under the guidance of our coach. Goodloe Rogers, and the leadership of Captain Osborne, the team could hardly fall short of being a great success. Both men are diligent workers and well versed in the nne points of the game. The enthusiasm manifested by the stu- dent body boded well for the success of the team. This enthusiasm took form in several successful mass meetings and good turnouts at the home games, al- though there was a lack of well organ- ized yelling. The first game of the season was with Central. The team went down, gamely fighting, under an overwhelm- ing defeat. The following Saturday wit- nessed a repetition of the previous fray. This time, the victorious team was the Polish Seminary. These defeats although disheartening, did not discourage our fellows. They took up practice with a new determina- tion. Mr. Rogers kept up his faithful work and the system which he had been working out took form in the game with Flint. After a hard and spirited battle our warriors brought home the first vic- tory of the season. The team began to work together as a unit instead of the haphazard and unorganized game which had marked the opening session. After'this victory the upward climb seemed to be much easier. Western, Cass and Bay City were easy victories. For a time it looked as if Northwestern would put a crimp in our winning streak. What was probably the hardest game of the season ended in a tie. The teams were so evenly matched that straight foot ball did not net many gains for either team, so it was neces- sary to punt frequently. Now comes the interesting stage of the season. Pontiac had not won a game of foot ball from Eastern in six years. Everyone conceded that it was time for Pontiac to break the monotony. The team was put through a very stren- the pleasure of ever Cap Kimball appeare uniform.

Good morning, have you heard the news? No. What's that? Oh, I don't knowg I just won- dered if there was any. Some such conversation like the above greets every student of the P. H. S. as he enters the building and spies Mr. Sheridan holding forth in the halls in his capacity of cus- todian of the building. Out of respect to Phil we feel that it must be men- tioned here that he changes his jokes once a week whether necessary or not, the former case being the more common. Officially Philip Sheridan is custodian of the building, but actually he seems to be a sort of man-of-all-work. Presum- ably to lend support to his dignity, there is usually displayed in a prominent place somewhere on the apparel of this diminutive.personage a shining badge warning nusbehavers about the property to beware 'cause the bogey man'll git 'cm ef they don't watch out. Yes, dear reader, you have guessed correctly, Phil is a special officer of the law. Fortun- SHERIDAN authority behind this metal insignia seldom brought into action, but now a then an occasional polishing in the pr ence of some with a glance in th direction gives the desired effect To say that Mr Sheridan is the m obhging person about the school har does him Justice because he is so mu more than that Old Noah unfortuna ly failed to include in his noble boo word which will adequately describe thoughtfulness wrllmgness, and around obligingness of Phil. And it greatly to the discredit of Webster t. this is true. But on second thought occurs to us that probably he was ne' properly introduced to Phil and no could be reasonably expected und those circumstances to do a thing that kind.-You know what we mean.

After a few days more of investigation and reporting hy the coinniittee, affairs S0 shamed themselves that it seemed not entirely iinpossilile to start pulvlica- tion and accordingly a hoard was elected by 2. mass meeting held in the auditor- ium before school one noon. At this meeting Kenneth Gardner and Harold Mulvey were chosen editor and husiness manager respectively, with power to appoint the lialance ofthe hoard. Suhsequently, the following stu- dents were named as otheers: Harriet Coleman, assistant editor: Kirliy lu- gfoldshy, literary editor: Virginia Brad- tield, art editor: Harriett Wlales, organi- Zation editor: George XVillits, joke editor: Harold Haines, assistant lsusi- ness nianaer-rg Elton Tyrer, circulation manager, Since that time Stewart T. Beach and Maynard Newton have been added to the staff as other int-inliers have settled back into a state of dor- mancy. Class reporters appointed were: Marion Inch, junior: Celia Livingston, sophomore: Esther Waite, freshman. Page Eighty-seven Reporters were also elected liy the sev- enth and eighth erades ot the eraininar schools in pursuance of a plan tu devote space each inonth to the activities of the youneer students soon tu enter high school. Seven nuinlwers of the Toniahawlc were issued from Noveinlier tu May, the tirst lu-ine the Thankseivine nuinluer and the last the May nunilier, the June issue lit-ine oinitted l-eeause of the Quiver. The contest tor the naine ot the inaea- zine was won liy Louise lleaudin, who suggested the title now in use. A prize for the lwest conclusion to a story puli- lished in the spring nnnil-er was won liy l'auline Shattuck and the winner of the prize for the l-est story of the en- tire voluine of nuinliers has not yet lveen announced. The magazine has lween excellently supported liy the merchants ot' l'ontiae to whoin its existence and success is due entirely. XVithout their hacking in the form of advertising it would have lveen utterly inipossilile to complete the pulm- lication of seven nuinlvers. lt is hoped sincerely that another year will see the inaeazine on a tiriner footing in the student inind tif the liieh school. XVith the paper in its infancy and literally filled with faults, it is lmut natural that it should not prove start- lingly popular, hut with a year's ex- perience hehind it, it should he no heart- lirealcing task for any group ot students to make it much lwieger and sulistan- tially hetter than ever. .. ,A y W A1n...,.,...-..,...,f.:,.., ----K+..-,,,-s. ,,. ? -4 yk-.. ....v7.g ..-Y- . .

If at times during the past year you have heard or seen students wandering aim- lessly about the campus uttering in- coherent sounds and acting as if they do not fear that they are such victims. They are only committing to memory some oration or words of wisdom that would make mighty Socrates turn in his grave. As usual Mr. James Lynch gave a gold medal for the winner of the school contest who would represent us in the sub-district. Earl Miles who won the contest in 1915 repeated his perform- ance but having won one medal could not have a second although he would be our representative in the sub-district. Stewart Beach who stood next highest received the Lynch medal. On the same night of the Oratorical contest the rep- resentative in Declamation was chosen Miss Madeline Hazelton winning the right to uphold the colors of our school. By some good fortune the sub-district district and state contests are held in our auditorium this year' the first of these having already taken place, when we go to press. Both Mr. Miles a11d Miss Hazelton Won their contests and the outlook for a state honor in one or the other, per- haps both looks very bright. Our best wish is for the success of both contestants and the student body HAZELTON should always show their appreciation by loyaly turning out for all such class of school activities. One might be curious to know Why or how our representatives were so success- ful. As you know both are natural platform speakers but too much credit cannot be given to Mr. E. J. Ebbles this department and the success of both students is due directly to his training. Besides handling the contestants Mr. Ebblcs has been a great aid in making our dramatic plays a success and in helping out in our chapel exercises.

Arrange- ments were made whereby children could have the opportunity of studying practically any wind or string instru- ment they cared to take up, andthe work was put in the hands of advanced students who were in the high school band and orchestra. Over two hundred children took advantage of this oppor- tunity, and so rapid was their progress that soon orchestras were formed in each of the different schools and the work accomplished was very satisfactory in- deed. The children played at Mother's Meetings, gave concerts and each grade school was the scene of continuous ac- tivity. Music in the high school consisted of chorus work, orchestra and band work. The chorus, under the direction of Harry Quayle, Supervisor of Music, prepared the Gilbert and Sullivan opera Iolanthe, and special attention was given to the development of the orchestra. The band under the direction of S. M. Dudley, principal, continued the splendid work which for years has characterized them, and in their smart new uniforms were present at every foot ball, basket ball and base ball game throughout the season. Many activities ofa minor character went on throughout the season, direct- ly or indirectly connected with the music department. Chapel was made interesting by the rendering of vocal solos, duets, quartettes and choruses. The school is especially favored in hav- ing a number of excellent pianists, and these students took up difficult studies afterwards performing them in chapel to an audience which was always enthu-' siastic m their appreciation. The orchestra furnished music for everything of a school character which took place in .the aluditorium, and in many cases assisted' in concerts given by the differ- ent societies throughout the city. The spring festival which was held on wail: the evening of June 8 and 9, was suc- cessful both from an artistic and finan- cial standpoint. Twelve hundred chil- dren from the grade schools took part in the first evening's entertainment, and an overflow crowd of several thousand people who could not get into the auditorium was partly taken care of in the gymnasium, which had a large plat- form erected for such an emergency. Not half the people who thronged to the auditorium the following evening to hear Iolanthe could gain admittance, and it had to be repeated the following Monday evening, so that the disappointed ones might have the pleasure of hearing it. Following are the principals who took the leading parts: The Lord Chancellor, George Willitsg Earl of Mountarab, Kenneth Gardnerg Earl Totoller, Harold Mulveyg Private Willis, Robert Stevensg Queen of the Fairies, Martha Mauerg Iolanthe, Ann Taylor, attendants to the Queen: Gladys Pardee, Harriet Coleman, Dorothy Beardslyg Phyllis, heroine of the story, Louise Beaudin and Strephon, the hero, was played by Gladys Letts, who made a very handsome boy and a very satisfactory lover. Each of the prin- cipals acquitted 'themselves well in their various parts, but their work in noway overshadowed the chorus which arose to every occasion and furnished them with splendid backing. The work was difficult but all who took part were fully repaid for their labor, and the ex- perience has advanced them dramatic- ally and musically. Many thanks is due the Domestic Art Department whose members made upwards of one hundred costumes for the affair sparing neither time nor pains nor patience that the chorus might be fittingly attired. The spring festival has come to stay and will be a feature of each year's work. It inspires effort, gives confidence to the performers, pleasure to the listen- ers and is a refining influence in thelife of the students.
