EIGHTEEN Eighteen is a perfect number. Eighteen brilliant classmen are we. We would like to introduce ourselves. Then with us you might agree. Louis is the ladies’ man. Anna D. is the coquette. Scarani is our ‘‘Caesar,” And Elvira is our ‘ pet.” Julie hopes to be an artist. Angelo a farmer, if you please. In Francis we find an orator. And in Bisson a first-class tease. Mary has a “school girl complexion,” Claudia a cure for the blues, Jimmy Smith you’ll find hard to teat. As for Lucy she chews and chews (cough-drops). Now Celie is our champion typist, Margie a maker of puns. Mary B. is intellectual. And Jean hopes to conquer the “young.” Davy apparently shy and bashful has plenty of “say.” And Victor’s scornful glances imply. “How do you get that way. Now isn’t eighteen an ideal number. Aren’t you glad you met us too? It’s been fun to get acquainted. And tell the things that we can do.

THE MUSIC OF THANK YOU” --------0-------- Have you not heard those words of gratitude time and time again? Still perhaps, you have never realized how pleasantly, even musically the phrase has fallen upon your ear. Has it never occurred to you that words of true gratitude are words of great beauty, whether they are expressed in the silvery stiains of youth, the strong vibrating notes of maturity, or the hollow trembling key of old age. A sincere thank you” is the greatest return any true philanthropist can be given. To him those words carry more satisfaction, more content- ment. than all material favors could bring. He is like a man. who has journeyed from afar to hear a renowned musician or a famous symphony, and when the music exceeds even his fondest expectations, is joyfully rewarded and returns home contented and more than willing to make the sacrifice again. Such is the impression which heartfelt gratitude makes upon the soul of the benefactor; it is for him the sweetest of music. Thank you” is such an ordinary phrase that frequently it passes off unheeded and then surely it can possess no music. But when those words are the expression of true, sincere gratitude, they cannot be commonplace. No matter how often one may hear them they can never fail to be nobly musical. If they carry with them the grateful heart of their utterer. they are like an old piece of music to which one has frequently listened. In the hands of a musician of mediocre ability, it is at best uninteresting. When a master takes it up and plays it. who can fail to feel its over- powering chaim. or to think that it ought to be numbered among the high- est selections of music. In like manner the music of “thank you” depends upon its musician, his feelings and his sincerity. Selected. --------o-------- THREE THINGS Three things to govern— Temper, tongue, conduct.
