Helen Anderson looking out on the almost deserted street, decided that the day was in harmony with her spirits. As she turned from the window she was a pic- ture of bitter rebellion. Brushing back the dark wavy tresses which nestled about her brow she flew across the room to where a sleeping figure lay cuddled up in a chair before the grate. XYake up, Sleeping Beauty, she cried. You might sleep forever but the Prince would not come. Receiving no answer, Helen caught hold of a golden lock and gave it a vigorous pull at which the blue eyes of the Sleeping Beauty opened. Doris Philips, cried Helen, can't you think of something exciting. Iiverything is dead, dead, dead. lt's just the most horrid old place and Mother would never have dreamed of sending me here if you had not come. It makes me faint to think of the old thing and I will never darken its door- way- Why Helen, what are you saying, and turning toward the door, Helen's eyes met the shocked inquiring gaze of her aunt, Miss Patricia Anderson. I-er-was ju-u-st trying to keep Doris from going to sleep, stam- mered Helen as she forced a winning smile. I guess you have succeeded, said the aunt as she gazed at the wide- awake expression on the face of her charming charge. What were you talking about? asked Doris in a low tone as Miss Anderson withdrew. Talk- ing about, echoed Helen. NYhat do I talk about most of the time, silly. That detestable school for girls, of course. Oh cheer up, dear, said Doris coaxingly. XYhy just think, vacation is almost here and- And nothing to do, interrupted Helen. -lust then a sound of tripping feet was heard on the stairs. The girls looked questioningly at each other, then at the door. Aunt Patty never runs upstairs, whispered Helen. But to their great surprise it was Aunt Patty who entered with a smile and held out an 611- velope. I A pleasant surprise, she exclaimed. I wrote your cousin Harold, glancing at Helen, asking him to spend his vacation with us. It is impos- sible for him to come, so he is sending a young doctor whom he says is a good scout and valuable acquaintance. Oh, Aunty, you're such a dear, and Helen danced around the room joyfully. lllllll I lll l l l ll l ll l l l l llll ll l I llll ll lllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlll 'li5.Tl Vlll llllllllllll

All was ready at six and the girls sat awaiting the sound of the doorbell. There, whispered Helen. Miss Anderson advanced followed by the girls. She opened the door-a lady. 1 am Doctor Brown, she said. -YIOLET 31O'l'1i, '21. The arnihal The present Senior class in the spring of 1919 was in need of a consid- erable amount of money, so they proceeded to give a Carnival which proved to be a great success. On Saturday evening, May seventeenth, at about seven o'clock, a pro- cession started from the school building, making a great deal of noise. They made the rounds of the town. at last returning to the school house. Soon people began to arrive and kept arriving until Mr. Baer, who was taking the money at the door, hardly had time to make correct change. Qn the lower door were the novelty stand. candy booth, fish pond, the nigger-baby stand, fortune telling tent and hamburger booth. One room was arranged as a .lapanese tea room where cake and lemonade could be had, and in another room, the play Romeo and Juliet was given. On the upper door there was also a fortune telling booth, a menagerie in one room, a show for men only in another. in the third room one could meet Golduh Stubbins, the Bean family, Mutt and -leff. the Fat Lady, the Gold Dust Twins, the wild man from Borneo and other such noted people. In the Assembly room the Minstrel gave their program for crowds of people. The office was used as a court room where the judge presided, sentencing and fining the people whom the police had arrested according to their crimes. After the crowd had left, although it was Sunday morning, the class counted the money and found that 3133.37 had been taken in, which was much more than most of them had expected, Of this money, a little over half was spent on the junior-Senior banquet in honor of the Seniors and the remainder went to install a drinking fountain outside the school building. -ALTA LUCAS, '20, l IIIII IIII I II I I I I
