Its members, under the capable leadership of Miss Whitten, have worked very hard and deserve much praise. They have played with spirit and zest, displaying very good musical talent. They have played at nearly all the school affairs and have furnished excellent music. Thelsever- al organizations for whom they have play- ed, and refused to accept any pay for their services, are very grateful to them. Much credit is due them and their leader, and it is hoped that the orchestra will he con- tinued in the future, for an orchestra means much to a high school. This year it con- sists ol' six pieces: Piano, Alice Jonah: Drums, Monuett Robbinsg Banjos, Kenwood Rowe, Gordon Ross: Violin, Arnold Koch: Saxaphone, Stanley Haley. 1.01 OPERETTA ISLE OF!

20 THE TATTLER consciousness from every direction. The rose is called the Pearl of the Garden , and it has filled its special place in the world as no other iiower could iill it. Just as the rose, we wish to seek our place in this busy world and fill that place to the best of our ability. We do not wish to fill the places of others, for we should not be able to accomplish their work with as much success as we can accomplish our own. We know that the rose can not fill the place of the violet or the sunflower. iVe must strive to be content with our own lot and not wish for things we can not have, for this only makes us, as well as the peo- ple around us, unhappy. Even as the rose, we must iill' the place that nature, in her wisdom, has pointed out for us and be hap- py in our sphere. As Pope has written: All nature is but art to thee, All chance,, direction which thou canst not see, All discord, harmony not understood, All partial evil, universal good, And, spite of pride, in erring reason's spite, One truth is clear, whatever is, is right. The rose buds and blossoms slowly and with infinite care, for it must seize the op- portunity to bloom in the spring or summer as nature has planned. With Herrick we must Gather the rose buds while ye may Old time is still a-dying And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying. If we begin life by seizing our opportun- ities when they' are offered to us, by slowly mounting the ladder we shall some day gain success. As we all know, if success is won by hard work we enjoy it more, for we know that we have earned it by our own efforts. The wild rose grows in damp or marshy places and is found only in meadows or swamps. It blossoms in June and the iiow- ers lasts only a few days. Thus we may compare the uneducated of today with the wild rose. They live in the swamps of lite, unable to reach the heights, except by tre- mendous effort. The educated are likeyne cultivated rose. They are found not only in gardens and hot houses but all over the world, and are known and loved by all around them for their beauty and fragrance. They have made this world a lovelier and happier place in which to live. We hope our memory will remain fresh in the minds of our schoolmates and friends, just as the fragrance of the rose lingers even after it Withers.

'27 ini ' ENGLISH We study English day by day, And sometimes night by night, Scarce knowing just which word to say, Or when-we say it right. But English does help us along As we tread the paths of Life. Alltl that is why we're here with a song, For to learn 'it takes much strife.
