Senior Qiooks ROQ Q33 Vel'ily, the art of cooking hath its charms; for the singular fascination hath extended to the Senior class in its entirety Girls and boys alike have been afflieted, though it cant be said that the latter have attained any degree of proficiency. The girls cook regularly for Miss Root, but the boys Heook only on special occasions. I . The kitchen was a scene of activity on the first Monday of December, for having decided to treat the football boys and ourselves to a feed, we had to arrange the menu and prepare the tteatsW After a trip to town, where we purchased, among other things, two of the biggest turkeys we eouhi find, we repaired to the kitchen. All of us, boys included, donned aprons and went to work. De made sandwiches at the rate of ten 3. minute tmore 01' lesst; Willie peeled apples; Joe put the knowledge gained in a canning factory to a good cause when he opened canned oysters at one swipe; Buck, ?arl, and Carroll made the ambrosiaithat is, they peeled the fruit, cracked the nuts, and put the eoeoanut on what they didn't eat. It required the entire staff of cooks to do the turkoy-stut'l'ing stunt; hut Foster cooked them all, and, hovering between it was done in grand style the two stoves, he made a charming picture of domestic happiness, with a huge spoon in hand and a rapt expression of faithful devotion on his shining: countenance. After the noon hour we again raided the townethis time in search of dishes. An exciting moment was experienced on our way back, when XViIlie, who was balancing two dozen cups and a big pan on three fingers, stubhed his, toe, and almost fell while we held our breathifor those cups would have cost us the sum of ten cents apiece had they been broken. But we lived through it all, and anyone present at the banquet can testify as to the merits of our cooking. Another opportunity was given the Seniors to use their domestic lmowle edge When they made candy to sell between acts at the Japanese Girl Operetta. The girls, of course, did the real work and superintended the jnh. The boys thought they worked, but in reality they only messed things up. Foster, Carroll, and Carl made brave attempts at beating Fondant, but they soon had more candy on the table than in the platters. J00 appeared on the scene when we had almost finished; upon seeing what was in store for him if he lingered, he soon made himself conspicuous by his absence. But these occasions were not the only ones during the year when our aid was solicited, for after our ability and fame were noised abroad, invocations were many. S.

Q? Commencement week! Interesting as it may sound, there are tender memories awakened by the thought of severing school relations. 111 review- ing our four years' struggle in High School many phases are to be considered. The first event recalled was in the Fall of the year 1910, when a band of some thirty Freshmen, who, having been raised from the ranks of the Uplebs , were being initiated into the Aristocracy of the High School. We were a promising lot; yet whatever high aspirations we may have had were offset by our desire to enjoy our new surroundings. But the next year we who wore enee Freshmen returned to take up the duties of Sophomores. We were diminished considerably in numbers, yet we strived and struggled to improve our first yearts record. The twenty members of the class began to realize their purpose in school and started to work in earnest. The Junior year, however, brought about a complete change of affairs. I remember we each looked forward with interest to the time when we should be Juniors. That year was entered into with all the zeal that can be inspired by the desire to uphold the honor and dignity of P. A H. S. We earned the distinction of the name by the progress made in the class room, for excellent grades were made by the members of the class. Well to be remembered are the many incidents of the year, which clearly showed that we were true defenders of the Gold and Maroon, as well as our own class colors Gold and VVhito. Now, as the erstwhile Juniors reached the last mile post in High School learning, the year that brought a climax to the four yealst work, there were only twelve of the original class remaining. But we returned full of hope and Vigor for our Senior year. I think each of the twelve worked 10 make it the best of all. That we succeeded remains an established J'aetafor the true worth of each member was realized early in our Senior year, and the intrinsic value appreciated. XVC were represented in all departments of school life. The stars of the gridiron, diamond, tennis, and basketball courts, and the einders were drawn from our midst. Our individual class room records sufficed to show our studiousuess. Alfred the Great once said: HEvery craft and every power soon grows old and is passed over and forgotten, if it be without wisdomfY So here's hoping that the memory of the class of 14 may stand as a tribute to Port Arthur High in years to come Colors Motto Flower MAROON AND Wuym HHAMMEE 'l'r OUT ' NAST l'KTI L' M Class Officers $ Prexidem - . . . . . . 7 - DENNIS JARRA'I'T Vice-President 7 7 . . . - - .7 SARAH LEE 7 - 7 7 - AUGUSTA SCHUMAKER , .

However, this number has been reduced until we now have a class membership of only fourteen Still, that isnlt so had, and I think our per cent of decrease would compare favorably with that of any preceding class. This class is exceedingly rich; not speaking in the commercial sense of the word. One of our chief riches is our strong class spiritiusually shown at school elections, etc. Here, too, our good disposition is worthy of mention, for, truly, we are a merry class No one of us was ever known to hr, angryi not even when the kind and thoughtful Seniors took it upon themselves to fill our books with a most obnoxious perfume which pervaded the room for the full extent of two weeks, However, the thought never entered our studious minds to let this interfere with the, careful perusal of our assigned work. A priceless characteristic! Other noted traits are our niodestyiol' course, this history is an exceptioniand our fondness for making candy. For any more information, I will refer you to tho Faculty, or merely say Hothers too numerous to mention And now that we have but one more year in which to distinguish this High School with our presence, I trust we will all unite to make that year What it ought to he,7the happiest one of 0111' school life.

CARTERl VVm'e wc obliged to reward Mr, Carter for all his servicvs in aiding: us this year, we would find ourselves facing a real proposition. Just compensa- tion would be out of the question Although under no obligations to do so, he has helped the SEAGULL staff more than we can fully realize, perhaps, He deserves all the appreciation that can be awarded him. Every boy realizes in Mr. Carter a true friend, and his often sought admonition seldom fails to bear fruit, for they all heed his advice. It is for this reason that he was so successful in handling the boys in the minstrel. In this production and in the staging of tho, opvrotta, he assumod a largo part of the responsibility and work Nightly practice was a continuous thing for several weeks, yet there was 110 complaint, on his part, and the minstrel showed the result of his careful training. Hence, a mere expression of our appreciation can scarcely do him justice.

RUFUS PERRY 'I'HH ATHLETIC SECTION OF THIS VOLUME OF THE HSEAGULL IS DEDI- CATED. AS A TRIBUTE TO HIS TRI'E SPORTSMANSHIP. :Atbletics Q? U? A wise man recently said that, HThe manhood of our nation is being improved by the, development of American sport . Any how, it is a well established faetlthat the Port Arthur High School is being raised to a higher standard by the development of scholastic sports. Athletics is an important factor in our school; for, if properly practiced and indulged in, the different forms of athletics are as great a factor in the curriculum as the school room work, On a large scale, they develop the mind and make it adaptable to school work, where in many cases, there would be dullness and disintei'estmlness. It is due to the departments of athletics that the ahumlant amount of school spirity which is now prevalent, exists. It is a source of pride to every pupil to know that he is a member of Port Arthur Iligh School. There are very few, if any, boys in High School who do not enter into some form of athletics. And this is becoming more and more the case, as made evident by several facts. The Athletic Association has been an important factor in building up lligh School sports. This organization is composed of a majority of the hays in the four highest grades. Just this year the, association has been supplemented by the organization of the B. and T. thath and t0ch department. Small weekly dues are paid into the treasury of the B. and T. A. which go to forward the interests of the boys in the way of providing- showm' baths and towels during the entire athletic season, Then, the field of athletics is enlarging each year. This is the first year that we have had a boys' basketball teamy for the reason that no interest could be aroused in this line until the past season, when it was provmi to the satisfaction of all that the game is to he desirod,-th0ugh the, financial part was none too good. Only last year track work was started,iand that on a small scale. The results of the track season just past, is sufficient to show that we have improwd over any previous attempt For really some excellent mateinal was developed in the several departments of track work. Of course, football seems to be, as has been for years, our greatest asset in the athletic line. While the season lasts enthusiasm runs high with the defenders of the gold and maroon and their adherents. But even in this game the improvement this year over any other season was manifest by a good margin Yet great is our interest also in baseball, We do not fall short in progression in the National pastime, for most every one can play this gammifrom the young enthusiast whe would aspire to be a second Walter Johnson to the best player in school Then there is tennis and all the other forms of sport, in none of which we may be said to show a lack of interosL The girls are due much praise for the way they have come to the front in athletics. They have demow strated the fact that they are not forced to indulge in such amusenwnt as parading the campus or idly watching the sports of the hoysl 0n the contrary, they have come forward as true believers in outdoor life. Their greatest interest is probably centered in haskethalll Aside from the several other teams, there is the girls' first team, which has demonstrated its superiority over the teams of the neighboring: city schools, Another progressive step was taken when the girls organized a tennis uluh with sixteen members. So all these newly rising factors will increase in importance from tinw to time; though just now, the stage of developmem is at a height which can he made little more enthusiastic.

Coach Perry took charge of the squad about the middle of September. There were seven old members who returned, and prospects of an eighth By the time school had started, practice was well under one coming in soon A good schedule had way, and the team was rounding into shape nicely. lmen arranged beforehand. Our first game was at Beaumont, with the South Park team, on October the fourth. This was merely a practice game, and was played more with a view of getting a lineup on material than anything else. The game was played on a sloppy field and was slow. The score was: Port Arthur 22, South Park 0. 011 the following Saturday, Orange came to Port Arthur with hopes of retrieving their defeats in football and baseball last year. However, they were doomed to disappointment, for the Black and Orange 'players were not energetic enough to prevent Port Arthur's running up a 37-0 score. This game was also played on a muddy field; but there was much improve- ment over the first game in team work generally,es0 Orange did not have a look in during the whole time On October the eighteenth, we went to Beaumont to meet the heavy eleven 0f Beaumont High. Their line was probably the heaviest we went up against during the season; and on account of the soggy condition of the field, we were only able to defeat them by a score of 1270 The touch downs were made Ivy Carter and Chambers, respectivelyitho former by an end run, and Chambers by falling on the ball after Beaumont had fumbled a punt. We came out of this game more battered than in any other 01' the season, A return game was played with Orange, on their grounds, Saturday, the twenty-t'it'th. Though Orange was not defeated by as big a score as in the first game, we made it 13-0. On a blocked kick Barhiseh made a touch- downy after running 35 yards, Flanagan made the other, and kicked one goal, DeVries was unable to play in this game. Houston High came to play us the game, on November, the first, tha1 was to determine which team should enter the eliminating games, in playing for the High School State championship. Although Houston scored in the first four minutes of play, by straight football, we braced in thv second quartery and played them to a standstilli DoVries scored in the third and Flanagan kicked goalimaking the score: R A. 7, Houston 7. Though we played hard the rest of the game, we were unahlv to suol'orias was Houston. Because of thv tied score of the, fourth, another game with Houston was necessary, This game was played after a rust of three weeks. The lung rest, together with the long train ride, reduced our supply of Hpup cun- siderahiy. Neither team was able to score the first half; but in the last hnlti after the injury of Plettman and livBlanc, our line was woakmml and Houston made three touchdowns, and kicked the goals. Palmer, our right end, made a touchdown on a long forward pass; Flanagan failed to kick goal, and the game ended with the score: Houston 21, P. A. 6. The next game, 011 'IVhanksgiviug Day, was with Urange night If that team had any hopes of resisting the onslaught of the Port Arthur team, their hopes were blastwL Fm; during the time that this game was in progress, we ran up a score, of 41s0i Carter, Flanagan, DoVI'ies, and P. James divided the honors of making: touchdowns between them. The team was in its host form and individual playing was conspicuously evident, December the thirteenth, the last gamv ot the season was played. This was between the High School and Faculty teams. The latter had been organized and coached by Perry for tho occasion. The interval between the Orange game and this 0119 caused a decidod change in the form of the High School team 'I'hi'ee-qual'ters passed before we scorcdi Only the last quarter showed us in the usual form.

When we all learned that Perry's return this year was a certainty, the news was heralded with joy on all sides Any doubt which may have been entertained of developing winning teams in High School sport was dispelled.

True to expectations, the results of his second year as our Coach, were partly shown in the football mun which he built up for Port Arthur High.

'23 A High Sehool-h'aeulty football game was an event which was planned early in the season, and became a reality on December the thirteenth. When Mr. Perry had assmnhled his forces for the first afternoon's practice, preparatory to the game, he proceeded to assign each one to his respective place in the lineup. Mi: Bright was selected for center, since his physical proportions and elear-headiness made, him especially adaptable to the pivotal position. Mix G W. Vaug'ht, because of his swiftness, and, being light for the line, Was placed at left end. At the other extremity of the line, was stationed Mn Willard, who was heavy and a good tackler. At left tackle, Mix E, S. Carter, who could stop thv High School hacks with one hand, was placed. He was depended upon to stop those fierce tacklevbrushes 0f the High team. Mia Walter Christensen, because of his strength, was given the other tackle. Mr, Bai'tholomae held down left guard, for he felt that the fact that ho, is left-handed would handicap his playing on the right side, of the, line. Mr. George E Carter was given the opportunity to demonstrate his ability at right guard In the back field, Min May was chosen to run the team. It is not known where, he acquired his ability to fill this important position, unless the explanation lies in the fact that he was Latin insh-uctor last year. The remaining trio of the hack field was cmiiposgd of Mr. Perry, Mr. Harold, and Mr. Robbins. The, first named gent had predicted dire misfortune for the High School team. And, since he had played the game before, not a few respected his ability to carry out his share, of the program;for he was to play half hack Mn Harold, our big English teacher, was to play fullt No one doubted his vowed intentions to Hclean up on the onemyiif it were in his power. Mr. Robbins, though rather lighty was also experi- enced, and, being an excellent runner and defensive man, was put at right half. It is doubtful if a better lineup could have been secured from the. material on hand. While a succession of important events were, taking place, in the, Faculty camp, the High team took everything as it came and paid no heed to the vain boasts of their opponents, Of course, they practiced the two 01' three days before the gameijust to refresh the memory of their signals. So it came about that when Saturday, the thirteenth, rolled around, Mr Perryis warriors appeared on the, gridiron, resplendent in their uniforms VD, ready for battle and hopeful, Hf the holes in Mr. VVillai'dis Jersey had been Lincoln pennies on stick-pins, he would have been a millionaire; Mr. G. E Carter's overalls had just been washed clean for the fray, and he was pro. pared against the weather by wearing from three to five Jerseys 8.1111 shirts? the last 11211111111 apparel, he shed at different intervals of the game, layer by layer; Mr. Bartholomae's football trousers, in order to be different from the rest 01' 11111 teams, had turned a brilliant hue 0f yellowti But tht' whistle blew at four 0,c10ck, and the battle was 011; the Faculty kicking: off The ball was returned to the fifty-yard line by the High Sehuol. After the first down, when the smoke had cleared away, the Facultys hefty center was 011 the ground, undecided whether to arise .011 remain in his prostrate conditionithat near did he come to getting Hknocked 011t'1, During the entire first half, the ball seesawed 11p and down the field; but of course the High School team was 1101, playingAso the spectators said. The first half ended with the score standing: 0-0, in favor of the Faculty. Captain Chambers was not thoroughly angry enough at his forces to reprimand them for their ineffectual bombardment. While in the camp of the enemy, down at the other end of the field, Coach Perry gathered his somewhat battered, but elated crew of supposeditoiber 1'111101'11-11reakers, and justly praised them for their splendid showing; hut a11111011ish1111 them to keep their eyes open the next. ha1f1 If they were surprised at their work, they kept Hmum , just as though it was nothing unusual, For, as Perry said, it was muscle and brain pitted against youtht But in the third quarter the spectator, who had expected to witness a 1-0111p111'at1111 storm of Comedy, shifting his cigar to the other corner of his mouth would nudge his neighbor and calmly, yet implotingly, inqui1e if he des Stil' 1 t0 tha1g1 the 11 et Several members of the Fa culty team distinr guishml the111s111vos as players of note, long about this stage of the game.

For in exactly few minutes of playy Ca1'te1 went 0v111 f01 the first touchdown, and three minutes later Flanagan, 011 an end 1-1111, scored the second. Both gee s were ie ed. So, when the clamor and din of battle had cleared away the imposing score of fourteen to zero, in Iligh's favor, rested on the score- board, Of course, the true fact of the case was that the High School team only desired to give their opponents encouragementuntil the last quartereso they said. Just enough to win sufficed them. in this manner, the eager hopes and high aspirations of Perry's venerable warriors went down to disappointnmnt.

The interest in tennis was heightened by tournaments which were held throughout the year. In these some hotly contested games were played. Several months ago a court was laid out and prepared for the girls, who also organized a club. A precedent that probably will be followed in tho futuro was established by holding interscholastic tournaments, 233 HIGH SCHOOL TOURNAMENT.

The aim of Manual Training is to educate the eye, hand, and head. In performing this threefold i'nnotion, it deals with thv practical side of the art. There is the actual measuring of lumber, the handling of real sized tools, and the running of regular wood-working machinery. it is intended to enahlv the pupil 10 do things and to work with a fixed purpose intelli- gently and methodically toward the completion of some task. In both the departments of Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing, the Port Arthur school has been given affiliation by the State University. This is a result of the high plane to which the work has been raised by Mr. Carter. The department of Mechanical Drawing- was added to the curriculum only this year. It is, like Manual Training, elective in High School. The first years work as outlined for high schools has hcvn followed this year, the latter part of the term being devoted to tracings and to blue prints It is planned to enlarge this part of the work, with tho, pmhahility of adding: a separate section next year. The attendance in Manual Training- has boon good this term, and quitv an improvement was madel The problems being enlarged, the work was entered into in greater detail. Designs in wood work were studied and prob- lcms worked out. In the experimental features new and interesting: subjects wore im- proved. Quite a lot of good work was brought about in fumed oak Chip carving, while it is a rather new exercise, has in'oug'ht forth good results Turning has advanced considerably, the boys putting: extra pvriods in this line. Also, some veneer work was done this term. in fact, favorable results have attended the efforts in Manual Training throughouL Another view of Manual 'lli'aining is afforded whim thv correlation with other departments of the school is taken into consideration, Much of the athletic equipment is made in the shop, such as hurdles, vaulting: racks, football bucking boards, and cwu baseball bats. 'l'ho, doumstic art depart ment has been furnished tables and things of this sort needed in the sewing room. The boys build their own lockers, both for thv Manual ll'raining work and for athletics.

The answer to this question lies with our public schools, for it is only there that thv masses are reached. expert designers, 01' finished lines involves further study gives to the common work- Puhlic school art makes no claim to prepare artists, for 01m to become an expert along those Drawingr as now taught does give a start.

The agricultural work has been pursued with much interest on the part of all selecting this course. There were about two hundred who selected this subject in the gradesy and there was a special class arranged for some postgraduates who are preparing themselves for teachers The outline of the course was made to he general, and the course was followed along such lines, bringing up points for comparison with our own conditions The work in the book was closely correlated with practical lines, such as gardening: on the school plots, planning home gardens, practical tree planting on the campus, trips to the Model Dairy close at hand, etc. Instructions wero'given in planning homv gardens, and many were induced to take care of them in a way that was most gratifying, Camphor and Texas umbrella trees were planted on our campus, and all classes were given instructions in tree planting and caring for themi The result was that all trees lived from the start. The interest that has been taken throughout the year, especially toward the latter part, has convinced Mr. Robbins that it will not be long until a course will have to be offered in High School. As this community is strictly a commercial one, it is all the more reason why its children should not he brought up in ignorance of the industry that feeds and clothes usy and the relation that, exists between the city and the farmi This being the case, the hook work was made as practical as con- ditions would allow Mr. Robbins contends that it, is just as had for the city lad 0r lassie to expose ignorance in the presence of the farmer in an agricultural sense, as it is for the farmer to come to town and expose his ignorance regarding city ways, and that both classes can learn with much profit and pleasure from each othei: F. .1 R, yells C5153 Rackafy-yak-feiyaIr-te-yalr Raclrefy-ya LufeiyaIr-te-yes Rar7;ety-yakJe-yakvfe-ynlv Harkefyifc-yak.

But since the demand this year seemed to he uniw 'sa , we wm-e permitted to start anew. 011 Friday afternoon of March the sixth, the entire High Schoul assem- bled in the auditorium and reorganization was effected.

The society, which has for its purpose the advanevment of literary ideals, general cultural improvement, and the cultivation of a spirit 01' fvllowship and unity in High School, meets on Friday afternoons of alternate weeks, It is one of the greatest factors in suhool, and, when enthusiasm, or even interest to tho extent of perform- ing assigned duties, is maintained, there is no substitute for it. The society consists of debates, current events, musical svlections, and treatment of literary subjects. The High School HRecord'i, which is read in connection with the society, gives the students all the school news and helps greatly to keep alive the organization. .

Ebe Wergilb D? l$ Being: actuated by the study of the AnglmSaxons, both in name and eus1om, the Senior class gathered its dignified self at the home of one of said dignitaries, and formed the rudiments of the famous-twhe society called the ttWergild , Boholding a chance to lay aside for a brief space of two hours the oppressive dignity of the eognomnn Seniors, they took unto them- selves names that their ancestors used five hundred years ago The HVVeI'g'ild was suggested by the name of the ancient Anglo-Saxon council. The object of the organization, as expressed in the preamble, is that, HWe, the'members 0f the Senior class of the Port Arthur High School, feeling the need of closer social ties, and the means of meeting from time to time for social affairs, do hereby organize the society of the HVVng'ildH. 0n the evening: of October the sixth, nineteen hundred and thirteen, the Senior class met at the home of De Jarter and proceeded to organize, After the election of officerx and the adoption of the constitution, the members were required to take the oath and were formally received into the HVVergilt W October the thirteenth, the society met at the homo 0f Christina Loeh for the purpose of completing the organization. After much discussion and long-winded speeeh-making by several of the members, the business was completed. After which we adjourned to the dining room and pulled taffy. Again on Monday evening, the twentieth of October, we met with Carroll Morrow. After a short business session, we adjourned to the canal bank and prepared to diminish as much as possible of the bounteous supply of Heats we had brought along. Some who claimed Dutch ancestry insisted on lwing allowed to barbecue Vienna sausages; others were satisfied with a more civilized luncheon. While we were busily engaged at the barbecue and at devouring sandwiches, the distress signal was heard. Everyone was in deep sympathy with the person in distress; but the pride of the Dutchman continued to disappear. Other meetings were held on alternate Monday nights, and these meet- ings throughout the year were the source of no litt1e enjoyment. Officers of tbe Wergilb QED? DECARTER - . . . , .

T A, Davis Bbe Class motto Q09 Q? It was rain, rain, rain. Nothing else had happened for the three days prior to the hi5: track meet but the steady downpour. This condition of the weather in no way holpvd t0 oulivcu the spirits of George James, the captain of the Port Arthur High School track teams He was worried about, the triangular meet which was scheduled for the next day. Only two weeks before his tram had boon beaten by Beaumont High And now, on account 01' the weather conditions, very little practice had been possible, for the last week, and Coach Perry had just told him that thv boys wmto not in good training to compete in a meet on the next day. 0n the afternoon of his dejection, ho was walking home from school with Cm'aholl Abbeys HI don't understand why you boys let the Beaumont team beat, you in the last moot. You just let them run ovor you, it seemed, and the lOI'ango team came near winning over your team, she said to him. HVVOll, we did our best There were several of our best fellows 0n the sick or injured list, and 1 think we did very well under the circumstances, he replied. uYou donit seem so very conceruod about it, almost as if you didntt care, and l donut helieve you do; if I wore captain of a track team I should certainly care more about winning than you seem to care, was her rejoinei' as they reached her home. The boy moved slowly onwards This was one more blow to his already shattered fortune, Surely luck was against this track captain, so he thought. HEven Cor'ahnll is against me Its not enough tough luck to have the Fates and Jupitor Pluvius heaping indignities and misfortune upon me. She may think I don't care,H he muttered as ho, strode on. HBut let her think; her'ois butting that she will think differently tomorrow. V11 show her haw t0 livo up to our class motto. 'l'hv welcome rays of the sun was the greatest blessing that awaited George's arising on the following morning. ttGee, but that suu looks good to mth was his solo, comment The bright sunshine made him feel as if he could win any race. As thu meet was to he held on the home ground, a little confidential, thi'emcornored talk was made, possible between tho captain, the coach, and the team. But two Wciock came and the hundi'mi yard dash was called James, and Dowell, also of Port Arthur High, were to compete in this race against two Beaumont and two Orange men of much ability. James had a great deal of confidence in his ability to win this race, but for some uncxplaiuahlo reason his whole body began to tremble and his muscles to stiffen. With the pistol shot, ho made a brave attempt to dash off, but ho I'valizotl that tho regular form was lacking, Sevm-al 0f the other runners vastly took the lead It was only toward the and 0f the hundred yard course that hv hogan to regain selfvcont'idmicv, but it was too lath. 110 could not overcome the load gained by the others, and the Beaumont runner boat him hy a yard Thn next event was the discus throw, which Orangu tonk hy a few inches. The same thing happened in the shot-put, Discouragmnont was beginning to appear on the faces of the Port Arthur hoys, amt especially on the face of the captain. He could not banish his desire to show Coraholl he could wiuv A short talk by the coach enlivened the spirit of the boys somewhat, and they entered into the I'USI ot' thv meet with more determination. Xthn Port Arthur took first and second places in tho mile run, with Beaumont third, the router's cheerml wildly. This was tho, turning point in the meet The Port Arthur boys contested splendidly throughout the remaining events But when the call for the relay race was giwn, Beaumont was leading, with Port Arthur three points behind, and Orangv some ten or twelve points below. This promised to be the most exciting race of the day, and it was the event upon which Victory for the P, A H, team hingotll Jamtls, for Port Arthur, and McConico, for Beaumont, were to begin the race As he took his place, the Port Arthur captain heard the cry, HBoat him, George! Take the lead! We must win this! Ho was not long in recognizing tho source of that cry. lt served to inflame him more than even Every muscle was a-tingle! He was determined to take the lead for his toam, This time there was no trembling: nm- stiftR-ning of the muscles This time that sort of. weakness was regarded as being hahyish in his eyes From the jump he took the lead, and when he touched Dowell's hand he was i'ully ten yards ahead of the Beaumont runnor, though it was only maintained by desperate running, as his opponent was oxeteodingly fastl Dowell kept the pace as set by the captain during his round When the runners for the third round started, there was much cheering, for it looked like a sure win. But, again, tttho Fates pursued , As Burch, the third Port Arthur runnm', Was trotting across the field to take his place on the tracky he turned his ankle. This happening precipitated quietness and a great dual of spomllation as to what to do. The race could not be stopped without forfeiture, and there was no one to fill in But while all this debating was going on, the captain of the home team was deciding: whothor he could lnakv another round. HNow is my chance to show hur, ho muttered Quietlyy but with precision, he announced his intention to Coach Perry to run the final round, After some hesitation, the coach consented, though he, was not very optimistic ovor the outcome, At first, Gnsorgo did not strike his best stride, knowing: he would need The Beaumont runner took a dangerous all his onm'gy for tho final sprint. With the stands on their feet, load, which ho, kopt for the first half round. the Port Arthur captain gradually overcame the lead, and broke the tape a scant two fovt ahead of his opponent. He had won the race and the meet. The cheering 0f the grandstand became as faint as a cricketls chirp, when he met Uoralwll as he was crossing the field H0 George, llm so sorry I said what I did to you yesterday,H she began Hl know you do care a lot about your team winning, But just think of it; we could never have won today without you! llm so proud of you,H mIlhat's all right, little girl.

And to the woods 072 pleasure bent The .lmziors and the Hiyh School H'mzt. Amt all the grades nrith wistful eyex Looked out into the azure skies, Until the Eighth trith dariny WCZI', Unto the picnic slipped off too. They rode along in happy glee, Blithe as the birds in every tree, And left the tmm streets far behind, Along the Neehes mud to Mind. tlhd gay their merry cries rang out AS 012 they Hem with laugh and shout. Unto the woods at last they eame; And there they playful aft. 0 game, Amt there they wiled away the day With eating lunch and same side play. And by the river they did dream, Amt sent post cards atom; the .vtreum. And when at last the 51m sahk IIO'H'H They turned their back upon the tow; Amt When the dusky twilight fell AM things greu' just a littleAurell, A little yhostli, as yaw lmmr Things do Milieu past graveyards you go. Then in the wagons, tired but glad, They talked about the time theyyd had, For they, perhaps, some time had too As hand to hand quitv friendly grew. Hut thmt you Imour much things will be Ithz high, school kids go 071 a spree. And when at last their homes they near. Quite lusty shouts did people hear. But now htis 0W;- my song must end Lila: awry happy day we spend. But here at last, I fear, my tale Will very near produce a wail, For thoy the Superintendent gave Permission full, did veto waive, Ami saw them leave with jolly smile, The teachers felt put out the while; With vengeance sweet quite jealous made, Took five points off of every grade Of those who went upon that spree; B14! here my tale must end you see.

The last named characteristic is positively essential to the manipulation of this combination Should any of these be taken away, it would detract greatly from the otherwise inexhaustahle hot air production Lo, when it is working to its capacity as such a producer, it gives vent to a medley not unlike that of a stump politician Its power as an orator as well as a eonversationalist has no limit, providing it is wound When it becomes weary of repeating the same thought the longer than two sentencesi. True, it puts as much force of argument into its speeches as ever did Cicero in the Forum. The only disadvantage that it is the possessor and that the great Roman did not have, is that the rabble, is more difficult to convince The practice that this novelty receives in the ttWei-gild is expected by its fellow beneficiaries to be of invaluable profit at a later date. For surely the members of this august assembly expect some retribution for their unflinching bravery and stolidnoss in undergoing- the agonius caused by this infernal machine; since its Npins weaken and the auditors wax sleepy, long eier it ceasesaouee it has the floor. The members of the Senior class are seriously contemplating application for a patent. If their hopes are rewarded by success, they intend to hire it to Teddy Roosevelt at the next presidential campaign or, perhaps, use it to an advantage with the Faculty when graduation time comes, N0 scientists need interfere with the plans, as they are carefully guarded by class detectives, For want of a more suitable cognomcn, this phenomenon comes to the call ofiHVVillie . loyal Other of Night 3fawks il Cb Colors: BLOOD RED AND COAL BLACIL Sony: HWIT: xVONhf BE HOME ,Tn.
