WEBSTER ELIZABETH ZAHNER L. MI LUCENT YACKEY President’s Address Life is practically a repetition of precedents. Our success or failure is to a great extent measured by our success in profiting by the mistakes of our predecessors. It lias become a time-honored precedent for the President of the out-going class to have the privilege of leaving on their behalf a few- parting words of farewell, and, in accordance with this custom that is older than the school itself. I take great pleasure in speaking to you in behalf of the Class of Nineteen Fourteen. This year has been our year: today is our day. It is difficult to realize that we are never more to sit together as students of old Saginaw High. Classmates, as we sit here, what sentiments o'ertake us! What remembrances of happy hours spent in the last four years return to us! What heart-throbbings we experience as we try to appreciate the fact that the time has almost come when we must part to meet no more! Did we realize in looking forward to this day of our victory that it would also be a day of sorrow? But it was ever thus. Who of us regret the change we made in leaving our grammar school life? And yet, how very few of us, at that time, viewed the future with anything like op- timism. Let us then profit by this experience and let us not be sad because we must enter unfamiliar paths and break asunder friendships of long standing, but rather let us be joyful in the future and optimistic in its glorious possibilities and prospects. We are now on the threshold of that life wherein it will be seen whether our short stay on this earth is to be a success or failure. But what is success, we ask? Is it a matter of accumulating vast wealth about us? Is it a matter of winning individual glory, or is success to be measured by the amount of good we can do and have done for our fellowmen? The names of men who line the pages of history are not the names of those who have merely glorified themselves, but rather of those who have glorified and advanced their communities. We can therefore assume that success in the big sense of the word is not a matter of accumulating vast wealth nor is it a matter of winning individual honors, hut it is rather the art of surrendering ourselves to the interest of our fellow men. Ilow then have we benefited by these four years of preparation for the task which is before us? We cannot compute the benefit we have derived from our High school training by the amount of Latin, German or Sciences we have mastered, but the advantages we have attained in our High school life can rather he found in the assimilation of these subjects in which we have unconsciously developed that most respected of all human possessions,—A CHARACTER. W ith this fact in mind, let us not enter aimless and bewildered into the paths which lie before us. but let us confidently enter these paths with a purpose and a determination to attain that success which can only be attained by the brave and honest efforts of our own individual selves. Many problems will confront us and in trying to overcome them we may meet with a partial defeat, but if we are defeated, let it he an honor- able defeat so that after the struggle we can say with a clear conscience, I have done mv best.” So, resolved and assured that whatever success we shall attain will be in no small way attributed to thee, old Saginaw High, we hid thee farewell.

Four years ago we entered this institution as Freshmen, three hun- dred or more in number. Fresh from the grammar schools, our new freedom and its attendant responsibilities almost overwhelmed us. Un- dismayed, however, we entered boldly upon our High School career and proceeded to combat and overcome the difficulties that lay before us in our quest for knowledge. Four years we have struggled and many in our ranks have fallen by the wayside. Now, sadly depleted in numbers, we gather together for a last farewell to the Old School. We are about to sever many of the ties of our youth and to leave perhaps forever, the friendships of our school days. When we think of these things our hearts are heavy, but, on contemplation of the fact that we are closing a successful High School career and on consideration of the bright and pleasant prospects that life has in store for us, they are again lightened and we go on our ways rejoicing. Members of the Faculty, it is to you that we. in a large measure, owe our success thus far. Your kind guidance and interest in our wel- fare has helped us greatly in our past difficulties and your teachings will continue to do so in the future. We are grateful beyond measure and when we have departed from these walls we will often think of you and, in the words of the immortal Longfellow, say, “O friends! O best of friends! Thy absence more Than the impending night, darkens the landscape o’er!” On parting we feel confident that the students who will follow us will carefully guard the good name and honor of Old Saginaw High. We know that they will see that those dear old colors of Black and Gold are not sullied by hostile hand, so that her Fair Name and Fame will stand forth as proudly in the future as they have in the past. Fellow Classmates, to us this is one of the most momentous periods in our lives. We are about to go out and begin our struggles on the great Battlefield of Life. Some few of us, more fortunate than the rest will continue for a brief time to further prepare ourselves for our work, but whether we begin now or study a few years longer, we ought all to be able to go out and meet the issues squarely and without hesitation. Fellow Classmates, “In this world a man must be either a hammer or an anvil.” Which are we going to be? Are we going to be hammers of the world that apply the force where it is most needed or are we going to be the anvils that withstand the brunt of the hard work? Are we going to be ranked among the few leaders in the world, or among the great mass of the workers? Time alone can tell. We cannot all be leaders, some one must work. We cannot all be workers, someone must direct. Each is essential and indispensable to the other. “Every person is responsible for all the good within the scope of his abilities, and no more, and none can tell whose sphere is the largest. In the inevitable course of life we will all fall into our alloted places, each of us will find his or her realm and in these we can do our best. Xo matter what we are, if we do all that we are capable of we are one hundred per cent efficient, and that means a SUCCESS, which after all is what we are striving for. If we do not amass great fortunes or do not make great names for ourselves, that does not signify failure, for “everv- where in life the great question is. not what we GAIX, but what we IX).” So, Fellow Classmates, let us all strive to make our lives a success in the true sense of the word. If we do this, then our work is completed, we will find that we rank not among the “failures” but among those who are on the highest plane, among those who have MADE GOOD. II. P. GEISLER, JR. A Brief History of the Aurora This being the twenty-fifth edition of this, our High School annual, it is very appropriate that we give here a small history of the AURORA and its progress. In 1890, after many unsuccessful attempts, the graduating class finally secured permission from the Board of Education, to edit and publish an annual. It was a large undertaking for the small class, buc it was tackled with enthusiasm. First, they chose Stephen S. Stillwell to be the editor-in-chief, and the result of his efforts justifies their selection. As associate editors, the following were appointed: Messrs. H. E. Cul- ver. V. S. Drake. J. A. Keeler, F. A. Osborn; Misses M. Culver. B. Ed- wards, M. Holmes, M. Weinecke. The first Aurora included: 1. President’s Address. 2. English Essay. 3. Class Poem. 4. Class Prophecy. 5. Class History. fi. Story, “Pictures from Literature.” T. Alphabetical Essay. 8. Photo of High School. 9. History of High School. 10. Class Day Toasts. 11. Class Roll. 12. Organizations: Palydips: Lyceum; Athletic Association. In its forty-four pages the book was astonishingly complete, and all departments were cleverly handled. Probably the best class poem evei published in an Aurora is contained in this first number. It was writ- ten by Miss Minnie Thurgood. a girl from Greenland, who conceived the unique idea of comparing the class' struggle to the trials and triumphs of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The poem con- tains much of literary merit and might really be termed a masterpiece. Among the toasts printed in this book, one in particular arrests one's attention. It was given on Class Day in 1890, by Prof. John O. Reed, and is in honor of the Saginaw High School. The toast as printed follows: HIGH SCHOOL: “Giving out year by year Recruits to manhood and womanhood dear; Brave boys, moedest maidens in beauty sent forth,— The living epistles and proof of its work.” The title page hears the following inscription: To the tea chers whose faithful work has guided our wandering class through the wide desert of the pathless past, we beg to dedicate this, our final effort, the Class of ’90. In a little foreword the editors expressed their just pride in their work and hoped it would set a prescdent ‘for a series of similar editions.” I low pleased they must he as they now behold the result of their initia- tive labors! Gradually, since that time, and year by year, new features have been added. In 1891 a few cartoons were inserted. In 1892 the joke department added its attractions to the rest. 'fhe year 1893 brought with it the Class Song (without music), an Oration and Yells. In 1896 the frontispiece, now used in Auroras, was first included, (t may be interesting to note that we had a suffragette in our school at that time. In a well-written poem, entitled. “Marriage,” she declares for the rights of woman, and urges all girls to grab on to a husband. An unique feature appeared in the 1898 edition. A photograph of the signatures of the faculty occupied one of the foremost pages. This feature, however, does not appear in any subsequent issue. Essays in the foreign languages made their initial appearance in this number. The societies, also, showed an increase in importance bv having a caricature to represent each one. 1900 and 1901 ushered in an abundance of photographs, including those of the individual graduates. The 1901 Aurora contained a fine five-act tragedy, by Arthur Cook. This Aurora was the first to reach the one hundred mark, for pages printed. It required one hundred and six pages to hold the offerings of this class. Gradually, from that time on, new features have been added. Some- times the book has not come up to its predecessor in value, but always there has been some improvement, until in 191:5, the Aurora contained two hundred and forty-four pages and was classed among the three best High School annuals in the United States. This year it will probably contain three hundred pages. N'cw features have been added, and while it may not he the best ever, still it is certain to equal any ever published, both in form and matter. Thus the Aurora has slowly, but surely, made a place for itself in our High School life, and is now readily recognized as part of a grad- uate's training. It is the medium of recording the accomplishments of each class, and we feel that it is an honor to be in any way connected with it. . THE EDITORS. Filled with the exuberance and independence of youth, the Class of 1014 entered the Saginaw High School on its Freshman term. When we beheld the dignified Seniors, who smiled upon us so benignly, we felt no inward quakings and failed to give them the respect they thought they deserved. We succeeded in calling a class meeting before our long unexpected vacation, caused by the smallpox epidemic, and the following officers were elected to guide us through the trials and tribulations of our Freshman year. President, Shirley Corrigan. Vice-President, Elsa Jane Harris. Secretary, Gilbert Brooks. Treasurer. Lorraine I’radt. Maroon and Gold were chosen for our class colors. Although many of our classmates wished to have a social function, we were considered too young to participate in such frivolities. Con- sequently, with no break in the daily routine of our work, our Freshman year seemed exceptionally long. We left as a parting gift to the Man- ual Training School, the picture of George Washington which now hangs on the walls of that building. The summer passed all too quickly for most of us. and we returned to the Saginaw High, the second time, feeling much older and wiser than vve had the preceding year. A class meeting was called early in the fall and the following officers were chosen: President, Otto Wolf. Vice-President, Ann Roth. Secretary, Earl Raymond. Treasurer, Beatrice Warner. Immediately after the first semester, plans were made for our “Spread,” which proved to be a delightful affair. Every member of the class entered into the party with such enthusiasm it will always be one of the most pleasant memories of the Class of T4. The following autumn saw us all back in our accustomed places with great expectations fpr the social events of our Junior year. The class officers were as follows: President, William O’Keefe. Vice-President, Mildred Packard. Secretary, Ralph Wallis. Treasurer, Nellie Green. The Junior Appointments were given in December, but a change was made this year, as the five girls and five boys having the highest averages received the honors instead of simply the ten highest. No en- tertainment was given because the Appointees thought they could not afford to take so much time away from heavy subjects which they were carrying. We followed the time-honored custom of the school and gave a Junior Hop in the Masonic Temple during the Christmas holidays. It proved to be the most successful ever given in the history of the school, financially as well as socially. In order to bring before the eyes of the public the exceptional his- trionic ability of some of our classmates, a vaudeville show was planned which took place at the Masonic Temple in May. This spectacular per- formance was enjoyed by a very large audience. The finances of the class were so augmented that we were able to give the Seniors a novel entertainment, which took the form of a moonlight excursion on the steamer Melbourne. Now. at last, we have reached the crowning part of our High School career, and with dignity have we taken our position as Seniors and leaders in the school city. With deep consideration the following mem- bers of the class were chosen as officers: President, Earl Raymond. Vice-President, Florence Baum. Secretary, Gordon Rice. Treasurer, Bessie Liddle. Marshal. John Hall. We conscientiously clicl our duty in assisting the Freshmen to be- come acquainted with the rules and regulations of our school city. In March, a strictly Senior party, which we all enjoyed very much, was given in the gymnasium. By the spring vacation, all plans were completed for the Aurora. Now we are looking forward eagerly to the events of Commencement week. This is all that can he written in the history of the Class of 1914. and time alone can tell the future history. But whatever success each individual attains, it will be attributed to the training received in the Saginaw High. NELLIE GREEN. SHIRLEY CORRIGAN PAST PRESIDENTS OTTO WOLF WILLIAM C. O’KEEFE EARL E. RAYMOND We, the Class of 1!)14, of the Saginaw East Side High School, in the County of Saginaw, and State of Michigan, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, in manner following, viz.: First, We will and direct that all our just debts and funeral expenses be paid in full. Second, We give, devise and bequeath to the school as a whole, to be theirs and their heirs forever, the recollection of our aggressiveness, our loyalty, and our industry, and we further direct and command that each member of said school strive to the best of his or her ability to maintain and continue the proud record which we have handed down, untarnished. Third, To the Class of 1015, we do leave the following herein enum- erated articles, viz.: Our Senior Session room. W'e earnestly advise and admonish each and every member of that class to appreciate this gift and use it in every legitimate manner; that within its sacred walls you meet at study hour and that you then obey the precepts of the ‘Guardian Angel of that room, concentrating all your attention on the books in front of you and none on the person or persons about you. Furthermore, we earnestly request you to refrain from making any comments when said “Guardian Angel makes the customary announce- ments or passes the report cards. We bequeath unto you our interesting course in 'Ritin' and 'Ritli- metic. We sincerely hope that you may profit by it and be sent forth into the world able to do not only Trigonometry, Latin, or Algebra, but that you may be able to write legibly and be able to add up the grocery bill in the coming years. We also leave our seats in Chapel and our Senior dignity. We need give no directions for the finding of the aforesaid seats, but we will say that our dignity can only be attained by constant struggle against the levities and temptations of the under classmen. We leave those of our number who have been compelled by adverse circumstances, eye strain and other such affliction, more commonly known as lack of credits. As for our course in Physics, we refuse to say anything or to direct or warn you about the inhabitant of H—. We finally bequeath unto you our horn, bedecked with the ribbons of long ago; redolent with the memory of past classes and enshrouded with the veneration due old age; a lusty relic of those who have pre- ceded us and one which has by its inspiring voice, tooted them on to victory. But, Juniors, we earnestly beseech you to guard well the sacred horn. After cheering you on to greater accomplishments may it be handed down to the succeeding generations and may its silver, clarion call arouse them in the coming years as it has aroused us and may it incite them to greater deeds of glory and of honor with each year. Juniors, guard it well! To the Class of 191(1 we leave our best wishes for their success in all their undertakings. To the Freshmen, the Class of 1917, we leave the recollection of the happy hours we have spent with them in supervising their work, in- structing them in the ways of wisdom and attempting to instill in their youthful minds the principles which have actuated and inspired the Senior Classes of all times. We hope that we have not failed in our un- dertaking and may our youthful protege grow to maturity in our High School, shedding fresh glory and luster on our then almost forgotten class. But we warn and admonish you lest, in your youthful exuberancy and in the joy of being now called Upper Classmen, you become afflicted with an abnormal development of the cranium, not caused by any pre- ponderance of learning.

WILLIAM C. O’KEEFE. E. E. RAYMOND. _ A Song of Courage Oh ! what sordid thoughts Oft crowd upon my soul. Of life, of death, their meaning. And the Race’s goal. Man, that on this lonely star. Coming, he knows not whence: In darkness lives and toils and loves, Tending he knows not thence. Wears out his life in saving wealth That he must leave behind, Or seeking after glories vain And fickle as the wind. Shadows, we seem, that move Along the Wall of Time, Tn mystery we move To a mysterious clime,— We lift our eyes and pass Again into the Night. Then from the gloom of my reasoning A word with sorrow fraught: Why then anticipate labor If the end of endeavor is naught? Disconsolate I fain would cease To seek my longed-for goal. Hut lo! a voice among the stars Speaks peace unto my soul: “Oh ! labor not for glory And not for love of gain. Just strive to obliterate sorrow And lessen thy brother’s pain. Ask not the end nor reason. Nor once thy duty shirk. But steel thy heart with courage And for the love of working, work!” ROBERT HARDON. Bel Esprit! Great fathomer, of all that is, grand mould Of human life, enslaver of all force. When will they climbing cease? A-story old Is thine: how ages built thy zealous course And mankind made supreme; thy labor roll'd Material up from ev’ry living source In Nature or in Fancy; climb on thy bold And God-like power! Yet withhold thy zeal from worse Than what will better man : no words express The hurt of evil genius, but to raise Advancement's stage, look higher and strive on, Build up the way to human happiness. That when at last thou well hast spent thy days. Thy work may last when life and thee are gone. ROBERT H. HARDON. A Prayer The Wonder-workings of thy hand, Help me, O Lord, to understand. The verdant fields, the trees, the sod. Help me to know. Almighty God. The gems that stud the dome of night. The restless sea. the searching light. The lonely brook, the sparkling fount. The lonely vale, the lofty mount: And all created by thy hand. Help me, O Lord, to understand. ROBERT II. HARDON. fhibltr It is the eleventh hour of our High School life ami ere long we shall leave this institution of learning to enter a broader field. Hut before we leave old Saginaw High let us pause a moment to consider some of the advantages offered us in this temple of learning. Of all the benefits derived from our High School work, the training in public speaking assumes an important part, for although the sections have met only once a week, vet a great deal has been accomplished during the four years of our High School course. Each grade is divided into sections and has for its adviser a member of the faculty. The sections are really self-governing. The president and other officers are chosen by the members, and they preside over the meetings. The programs are made by the program committee, consist- ing of the faculty adviser, the president, the secretary and two members appointed by the president. At each meeting some member of the sec- tion is appointed to the responsible position of critic, who is to give both adverse and favorable criticism. Besides these sections there are also a few societies who choose their own members. In order to get a better idea of the work done, let us visit some of these sections and societies and listen to some of their typical programs. We will first go to some of the rooms where the timid Freshmen are holding their meetings. The girls discuss various subjects, such as. “'l'he Wonders of the World.” “Girls’ Colleges,” and “Children’s Play- grounds in Large Cities.” The ninth grade boys' sections are giving original reports on topics of general interest and we are told that the first semester was given over to declamations. Although appearance oil these programs is a trying ordeal to the inexperienced Freshmen yet they seem to show a determination to accomplish something. We find that the programs in the Sophomore boys’ sections are very interesting, and their training in declamations proved advanta- geous to them in the declamation contest in which four of the twelve contestants were members of this section and received first, second, third, and fourth places. The following are the winning declamations: “The Guillotine.” “John Adams.” “The Heroism of Horatio Nelson.” “Russia, the Enigma of Europe.” During the second semester original speeches, such as, “The Seven Ages of the World and “The Spread of the Safety First Idea,” were the topics of the day. We find the Sophomore girls also interested in cur- rent events. The Junior programs show a wide range of subjects. A typical pro- gram of these sections is as follows: “Story of the Panama Canal.” “Colonel Goethals.” “Forest Fires in the United States.” “Baldwin, the Luckiest Aviator.” “Variety is the spice of life,” seems to be the motto of the Senior section. The girls seem to favor talks on current events and topics of general interest, while the boys never miss an opportunity to exhibit their persuasive power in debates. The following are some of the topics discussed: “Resolved, That the government ownership of railroads is preferable to private ownership.” “Resolved, That the toll exemption of American vessels ought to be removed.” There still remains the various societies, which have been organized in past years, such as the Lyceum, the Girls’ Lyceum, the Girls’ Colum- bian Literary Society, the Thencean, the Latin Club, and the Tenth Legion. Since there is only one boys’ society, the Lyceum, and since this is the oldest society, it attracts our attention first. The Lyceum devotes a great deal of its time to Parliamentary Law. although there is occa- sionally a discussion of current events and a debate. One of their pro- grams is as follows: “Resolved, That the present pension policy of the United States is not justified.” The Girls’ Lyceum discusses story forms, current events, and gives attention to deitates which have proved very interesting. We find the G. C. L. S. giving its attention to the study and com- parison of the cities of the world. The following cities have been studied: I Iavana.” “Buenos Ayres.” “Sima.” “London.” The American Literary Society devotes its time to the study of countries. 'The program on I lolland proved very interesting. Musical programs are also given every four weeks. The Thcncean favors current events and occasionally the girls “screw their courage to the sticking point and attempt a debate. A typical program is as follows: “Life of Henry Ford and his Profit-Sharing Plan.” “German Schools.” “()rigin of Safety First.” “Camp-Fire Girls.” In one section, the Latin Club, we find Rome the center of attrac- tion. One of these programs is as follows: “Greek and Roman Amusements.” “Roman Funerals.” “Roman Military Roads.” “The Laocoon Group. Roman Sculpture and Painting. Rome is also favored by the Tenth Legion. Here the following topics are discussed: “Furniture in Roman Houses.” Roman Feasts and Banquets.” “Roman Money and Ways of Reckoning Time.” “The Duties of Roman Slaves. “The Treatment of Roman Slaves. “Roman Books.” Ye have now completed our reports of the various sections. No doubt, but that in the future, we shall find many of the members of the various sections filling their places in the world as orators, statesmen, lawyers or suffragists. Perhaps some may be found in the Senate or Mouse of Representatives, or even in the White I louse. Hoping that we shall never forget the pleasant hours spent in rhetorics, we bid fare well to dear old Saginaw High: ()ur thoughts go back to days gone by. Back to dear old Saginaw High; W here we were trained for the strife Which we must meet in later life; And well have we withstood it all For with our training, who could fall? CLARA OTTO. Responsibility Though the educational institutions of today endeavor to foresee every need of the student in his future struggle in the world and to help him attain success, not merely mercenary success, but a success in the bigger and broader sense of the word, there is still something needed to properly fit the student to take his rightful place in the world. Too many of our young people settle into a humdrum life of selfish consider- ation and over fifty per cent miss much of all that is really worth while What is it that is needed? Who or what is at fault? When the average student enters High school he is a care free child. Mis life was spent under the guidance and surveillance of others. Both at home and at school there was someone to correct, supervise and rep- rimand. From the grammar school with its supervision and restriction the pupil jumps to High school with its privileges and freedom. In buc four years the average student will be face to face with life and its vital problems, as, “How shall I support myself? or less obvious, but equally vital ones, as, “How shall I obtain the fullest measure of life?” Thus the High school must take the raw though good material and turn out the finished product. It must take the undeveloped child and broaden and shape him so that in the future lie may make a good life if not a good living. To this end the High school offers him subjects that 1 roaden his mind and raise his ideals by bringing him into a finer and closer relationship with his fellow students. The High school gives him that which is most essential to the foundation of character, that which will make him strong and true, that which will broaden his views and make his life full,—responsibility, responsibility for his entire conduct, for his success or failure in his work, for his success or failure as a com- panion to his fellow students. High school should make him stand on his own feet, for at the end of four years the problems of independent life confront him with this warning. “If you would find true success, seek always after the best. During his High school life he must get the final preparation that will enable him to recognize, want, and appre- ciate the best. There he is offered work and pleasure. He must choose. Which shall it be? Upon his choice depends his future life. Shall it be a success or a failure? If success, he must accept the responsibility of today in order to prepare for the graver responsibility of tomorrow' He must accept the responsibility that the High school offers him not only in the class room r on the athletic field, but in the class room, on the athletic field, in the entertainments, on the platform, in every phase of his school life. He must develop along all lines to be properly pre pared for his place in life. Hut this point escapes the student, and to the question of ultimate success or failure he sometimes replies, “Oh, I haven’t time. I’ve got to get my algebra. and goes on crowding his brain with dry facts neglect- ing his physical and social development; neglecting all of the beautiful and interesting phases of High school life, failing to make himself a factor in it because he accepts only the responsibility of the class room, and he goes out into the world a narrow-minded, undeveloped individual. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Or the student will say, “No. 1 simply can't miss that party to- night. 11 is life is filled with froth, he skims over the top, absorbs what he can and finally graduates, older in years and, perhaps, a little wiser, but no better and often less fitted to make a success of his life for he has not accepted his entire responsibility. He has spent his years of prepar- ation in pursuit of the enjoyable but less beautiful and lasting features of school life, and. All play and no work makes Jack a useless boy. Then, again, the student will murmur a passive Yes?” and will continue merely going to High school.” He may do his work and take part in some of the social life of the school, but he never becomes a real part of the High school life, lie is merely spending his time at school because that seems to be the thing for him to do. He does not come because he feels the need of the influence of the High school or because he wants special preparation, or even because he wants to. He just comes, and so he continues to just go to High school, lie lacks self- confidence and shirks the responsibility which would give him inde- pendence and strength. By a supreme indifference as to whether or not he is getting something worth while out of High school he shuts himself off from real pleasure, the best companionship, and foregoes all joy that comes from real work ; in other words, from responsibility itself. He should be anxious to develop and glad to accept all responsi- bility. Instead of passive acquiescence in his education, he should take an active part, accept his responsibility and thus discover his own short- comings and ability and in this way become really acquainted with his own character and understand his own needs. “As I walked with myself, I talked with myself, And myself said this unto me: ‘Make friends with thyself, Be true to thyself, And thyself thy good angel shall be.’ ” He should supplement the efforts of the faculty and High school organizations by a conscious effort to become bigger and broader, by having an understanding hand on the helm of his own life to direct his efforts into the right channels. If the student will become interested in his own future well-being and will conscientiously become his own teacher and assume the many opportunities and responsibilities he is offered, if he will become active in every phase of High school, he can do more for himself than a corps of the best teachers can do for him without his aid and interest. The High school may go on trying to broaden our young men and women, to develop them so that they may be of service to humanity, but until the pupil realizes that he himself must build the foundation for his future life, until the pupil realizes that every battle won for that which is ennobling; and broadening is seed sown which will bring him a harvest that to him will be more valuable than gold or silver, jewels or treasure; until the student awakes to his own responsibility the High school will fail to bring forth the best in him and he will miss life’s greatest gift—service to one’s fellow men. MARTHA ADOMEIT. “In tlie land of Scotland, there Lived a lassie, young and fair. And the laddies came to woo her from afar: But she cared not for a one For her lover true was gone Far away to fight for glory in the war. You confounded rascal, shut up! roared Silas Paige, as he swung around in his chair and glared at the startled office boy. “What do you think this office is. anyway? An opera house? Make up your mind right now that it isn’t! How in thunder can I straighten out this mess while you are yelling and screeching in my ears? Johnny O’More was not red-headed and freckled, nor was he hand- some and intelligent in appearance; he was just an ordinary Irish hoy. with the sparkling eye, cpiick wit and love for music that go with the word “Irish. His main talent was a fair tenor voice, and as a rule he was free to sing as much as he chose around the office. But things were not running according to rule these days and the cause was cpiite evi- dent. Let us go back two weeks and we will discover the cause for the disturbed condition of the office of Silas Paige, real estate broker. On June 2, 1014, Silas Paige came to his office and found a note under the door addressed to himself. Opening it he read: “Dear Mr. Paige—We have run away to be married. Do not expect us hack, as Arthur is going in business with his uncle in Baltimore. Hoping for your good will and congratu- lations, we remain, “Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bristook.” Bookkeeper and stenographer gone at once and without a day’s notice. When Silas lost his temper, his speech rivaled Shakespeare for fluency, if not for choice of words, and on this day Johnny O’More heard the most complete combination of epithets, wise and otherwise, that ever passed man’s lips. When Silas stopped he was exhausted and he reached weakly for the telephone, to insert adds in the daily papers. But meanwhile, he knew the work must be done and he tackled it him- self. He exhausted his store of invectives wrestling with the typewriter in an attempt to replace a worn-out ribbon and insert a new one, and was finally successful. It was a laborious tack, writing those letters, but Silas stuck to it until finished. After a while he tackled the book- keeping, and while it seemed perfectly easy to him, he made no discrim- ination between debits and credits, and so at the end of two weeks (no help having arrived in the meantime), when he wished to find out where he was ‘at,” he found himself in a hopeless muddle. And so, on June lfi, 101-4, the day on which our story opens, Silas was in a sorry predicament and we can excuse this burst of anger, which offended the sensitive na- ture of Johnny O’More. “Go after the mail!” ordered Silas, as he turned back to his desk and to the Chinese puzzle confronting him. Within ten minutes Johnny returned and laid a bundle of letters and papers on his employer’s desk, who immediately looked through them to pick out the most important ones. The first one claiming his attention was addressed in the writing of his son, who was just completing a law course at Harvard. “I suppose he wants money,” thought Silas, opening the envelope and extracting the single sheet it contained. “Dear Dad,” he read. “I’ve got a grand surprise for you,—I’m mar- ried ! Of course, I won’t say she is the best girl on earth, but she suits me. .Also, Dad, I’m rather short of funds. Matrimony, as you must know, is expensive. For the present 1 think $100 will do very nicely. Lovingly, Ralph.” “P. S.—Please remit.” “Now,” groaned Silas, striking a dramatic attitude, indicative of despair, 1 can fully appreciate Shakespeare’s sentiment as he wrote, ‘When sorrows come, they come not single spies. But in battalions.’ “What on earth did he want to get married for. anyway? I always told him he was a fool and now I’m sure of it.” To save him from over worry, Fate at this moment intervened in the form of Johnny O’More, who entered the private office and handed Silas a card. “Miss Marion Brenner,” he read, and hoping against hope that at last help was coming to his relief, he ordered, “Show her in. The door was opened and in stepped a young girl of about twenty- two, small and pretty. She was quietly dressed in a blue serge suit and a black velvet hat. which was tilted at a defiant angle over the left eye. “Are you Mr. Paige?” she asked, smiling at him innocently. Well, who did you expect to find in my office, at my desk, and amongst my private papers?” growled Silas, testily. “Why, you, of course, replied the young lady confidently, taking off her wraps and tossing them carelessly on a chair. “But you’re not nearly as polite as I thought you would be.” she added in a rather dis- appointed tone. Silas stared after her in speechless amazement as she carefully ex- amined everything in the room and finally sat down in front of the type- writer desk. “Are there any letters to write this morning?” she asked easily, as she took a note-book from one of the desk drawers. “Now see here, young lady—” began Silas, sternly. “Please don’t make a scene,” she begged, wearily. “You know very well how much you need a stenographer. The elevator-man told me all about your predicament, so there is no sense in making a fuss about matters. I need this particular position as much as you need me. Are there any letters this morning?” “Yes,” gasped Silas, and he began to dictate at the rate of sixtv miles an hour. She took the letters as swiftly as he dictated and didn’t seem in the least hurried. When he had finished she turned to her ma- chine, inserted paper and began to write. She wrote about three words, when she suddenly stopped and tore out the paper. Who’s been using this machine?” she demanded, turning to Silas. “Why, I have, answered the startled Silas. “I thought so! she declared. “Your letters are all clogged up and it will take about a gallon of oil to get the machine working the way it should. Besides your ribbon is twisted almost into a knot,” and she started to remedy these deficiencies. Silas watched her in puzzled si- lence for awhile. Never before had his help spoken to him like this, but somehow she was different and seemed to he a hustler, so he shrugged his shoulders and turned back to his work. Soon the typewriter was clicking away at a merry rate. In less than an hour. Miss Brenner came over to Silas' desk and placed thereon the finished letters, waiting only for his signature. Then she stood watching him vainly attempt to erase an ink-stain from his ledger. “Well, what are you gawping at? he puffed, impatiently. “Haven’t you got anything to do besides standing there and staring at me?” “Why, yes; to he sure. she replied emphatically. “As soon as you get out of that chair I'm going to show you how we keep books in 1! 1 J. That 18!)( method isn’t used any more by up-to-date bookkeepers.” He arose hastily, and in a flurried effort to find something to do, he seized upon the typewritten letters and began examining them minutely “See here ! he suddenly exploded. “This isn’t the way T dictated my order to Smelly Fox. What do you mean by writing these letters in such an imperative tone?” “Oh. replied Miss Brenner, without lifting her head, “that style is readily accepted nowadays. Those firms are looking for business, not literature, and with one stroke of her pen she crossed out a whole page of Silas’ Journal entries. “Well. I’ll he— began Silas, limply, but he ended with a gasp. Without paying any attention to him the young girl walked over to the safe and opened it as though she had been working that same combina tion every day of her life. “Now what are you after? “How on earth do you suppose I can give you a balance sheet with out knowing your cash? Your accounts are pretty well muddled up here, and I've got enough work to do to straighten them out. so please don't interrupt me. and she ran swiftly through a pile of bank-notes, sorting the different denominations, stacking them, and finally counting the bills like an experienced bank teller. And so she worked until eleven o’clock, when with a sigh of relief, she handed Silas a balance sheet. “That’s the most intricate problem I ever attempted to solve.” she said, and Silas, glad to know his financial status, nodded smilingly. His grouch was leaving him fast and Johnny, noticing this, softly whistled an Irish ditty. At eleven-thirty, Miss Brenner put on her wraps and started for the door. With her hand on the knob, she turned and said: T’m going out to luncheon now. Don't expect me back before one o’clock. I've got a little shopping to do,” and she was gone. “Was there ever another like her?” asked the completely conquered Silas. “She certainly is on to her business, but if I’m not careful, she’ll own this establishment before she’s many days older. I wonder who she is! Miss Marion Brenner, of course, but then there might be a million Misses Marion Brenner. I wonder who she is! But when she returned at precisely one o'clock, he was no farther in his mental questioning than when lie began wondering. I stopped at the postoffice and brought your mail.” she said by way of greeting. “Do you want me to open it for you?” “Yes. please do.” “Here's a letter 1 think you’d better open for yourself. she an- nounced, selecting one from the group and carelessly tossing it toward him. leaving him to pick it up when it fell to the floor. ith a sigh. Silas recognized his son’s handwriting, and wondering what new calam- ity lay in store for him. he opened the letter and read aloud: “Dear Dad—Having allowed you a couple of hours to re- cover from the shock which the news of my marriage un- doubtedy gave you, I am now writing to let you know that Mr. and Mrs. Ralph l’aige. until recently students at Harvard now on their honeymoon trip, will stop and visit you June 16, 1014. Don’t forget to telegraph the $100. Lovingly, Ralph. “P. S.—Please remember, dad. She’s a Peach !” “Humph! A peach! If she’s anything like that worm-eaten bushel 1 saw in front of Giovanni's this morning, she’s some peach!” “Oh! Did your son get married?” asked Miss Brenner. “Yes! So he writes,” answered Silas, sourly, “and lie's going to bring his ‘blushing bride’ home tomorrow evening! I la! ha! A peach! I’ll bet lie got a lemon, and the most sour one on Life's tree at that!” “W ell, you don’t need to speak that way about someone you've never met!” flared Miss Brenner. “I knew your son at college and I knew the girl he went with, and tile’s too good a girl to be spoken of in that way !” “What! Did you go to Harvard? asked Silas in amazement, and without waiting for an answer, he added, “What sort of a girl is she?” “Well.” she began hesitatingly, “she’s about my size— “Is she as pretty?” “Every bit of it! “I hope she’s as practical.” “You needn’t worry about that! She is every bit as practical as I am. “If she only is, muttered Silas. “If she only is!” “Now, how are you going to receive your son?” asked Miss Bren- ner. “Are you going to give a little dance? “No!” he roared. “Let him be satisfied if I let him into the house. “Now! Now! admonished Miss Brenner. “Don’t get excited about it. He’s your only child, isn’t lie? “Yes. “And what did your father do when you got married,—did he rave and roar as you arc doing now?” “Not if I remember correctly. My wedding was one of the few social successes of that year. It was a real swell affair.” and his fea tures softened as his thoughts wandered back to the time when lie “had taken the plunge. “And why can’t your son enjoy these same privileges? Are you going to shut down on him because lie is young and you have lost your youth.-' If I were you I’d get busy and have a little reception for him, tomorrow evening. I know of an orchestra which can furnish music fit for a queen's wedding. Besides, I know enough about social affairs to arrange for refreshments, dancing, and so forth. I am fairly well ac- quainted with Philadelphian society and I know just about the crowd your son would want. It will come pretty high, but if it isn't worth that to see your son happy on the greatest occasion of his life, then you aren’t worth having for a father.” Silas could only gasp at this eager torrent of speech. Now, here,” continued Miss Brenner, taking up a pen and writing in his check-book, here is a check for seven hundred fifty, only waiting for your signature. If you sign this check I'll manage this little dance and give you the pleasantest surprise of your life. Will you do it? Come,” she added, smiling brightly at him, take this pen and sign. and the smile did the work. Silas signed. Now,” continued Miss Brenner, business-like as ever, “I’ll just go out and arrange tbe details of hiring the help, and getting your house- servants ready. No. never mind,” as Silas offered her a card, “I know where you live. Is your car out in front?” “Yes.” “All right. I’ll use it, as I must hasten,” and with a hurried good- bye she was gone. “Well, what do you know about that?” asked the amazed Silas, aloud. “Just supposing she cashes that check and skips with the money, and he groaned at the very thought. But no.” he continued, I don't believe slic'd do that. I can trust that girl. I wish Ralph had married her!” “Telegram for you sir.” said Johnny, entering at this moment. Silas tore it open and read : “Never mind the hundred, dad. Some kind friend just telegraphed me two hundred. Ralph.” Ting-a-ling! lie had just finished reading the telegram when the phone rang. “Hello!” said Silas, placing the receiver at his ear. Hello! answered a feminine voice. “Is this Mr. Paige?” “Yes.” Well, this is Miss Brenner. 1 thought your son would need more than one hundred for his immediate expenses so I wired him two hun- dred. Hope you don’t object. Good-bye,” and before Silas could say a word, he heard the click of the receiver at the other end of the line as Miss Brenner hung it up. Well, of all the nerve!” he ejaculated, limply. At five o'clock he dismissed Johnny, and five minutes later was l ailing a passing taxi. Giving the chauffeur his address, he was quickly driven to his home in the suburbs. It was a beautiful, large residence situated in a spacious lot, with many oak trees, and because of these trees the home was called “Twin Oaks.” Awaiting him at the door was Miss Brenner. “Well, how on earth did you do it?” asked Silas, in surprise. Oh,” replied the young lady, smiling sweetly, everything seemed to work out just right. I left my orders at the florist’s and caterer's and they will be here early in the morning. Then I came here with the in- vitations and sent Jackson to deliver them. I think it will be best foi me to remain here now, until the reception is over, as it will take every minute to get everything ready on time. The butler. Thomas, and Marie the maid, are taking up the rugs in the parlor and polishing the floors, so the dancing will be nice. Oh. by the way, do you tango? No? Oh, you must let me teach you. It's all the rage now, and she laughed merrily, as Silas raised his hands in a horrified protest. That dance is simply scandalous,” declared Silas, sternly. I won’t allow it in my house! “Oh. yes, you will, because the people I have invited can't dance anything else. You simply can't object to tangoing. That would ruin the whole party.” Very well. he grunted, resignedly. “Now, where are you going to sleep while you are here?” In the blue room.” answered the smiling young lady, confidently. I think that is where the bride should sleep, so I will stay there tonigh' and then I can arrange things to suit the bride, or as I think they will appeal to her.” “But see here! insisted Silas, “how under the sun am 1 going to explain your presence to the neighbors?” Why. tell them I'm your new housekeeper. she answered, quietly. “But you're not! informed Silas, impatiently. “But I am.” replied Miss Brenner, serenely, placing her hands on her hips and drawing herself up to her full height. Her five feet three appeared to Silas like six feet six and lie hastily dropped the subject, realizing that he was losing his hold on himself. “And if you stav here to manage this affair, what's to become of the office ?” “Oh! Johnny can typewrite. I know you never saw him doing it. lie always took care that you didn't, but there isn't an office boy in the city who doesn't learn, by hook or by crook, to typewrite, if there's a machine in his employer's office. And the books you can let go for a day. ' w, I must hurry and instruct the butler exactly as to his duties. 15y the way. you’ll have to go to the office in a taxi tomorrow. I have some shopping to do and I haven't much money left from the check, so please leave about five blank checks on the mantelpiece, sometime to- night. and she ran from the room before he had time to give articulate utterance to a strong protest. Instead, he deliberately took out his check-book, signed his name on a half dozen pages, ripped them out and placed them on the mantelpiece as directed. “She’s mighty commanding, but somehow or other, I like that girl. Oh! If that fool boy of mine had only realized what she is worth. It's queer, but I don’t feel a bit nervous about the way she is going to fill in those checks.” “Dinner is served, sir. announced the butler, as he entered the room, and then, peering cautiously about, he asked: “Ahem! If I might make so bold. sir. who might the young lady be. sir?” Never mind who she is, Thomas, replied Silas, smiling a trifle. “Just do as she tells you. She knows what she’s doing! Yes. sir. And Thomas stood aside for him to pass into the dining room, where he found Miss Brenner seated at the table carving a chicken with the skill of a French chef. You seem to be a Jack-of-all-trades. smiled Silas, seating himself opposite her. Well, exclaimed Miss Brenner, “that’s fine! What is? he asked, wonderingly. thinking she took his remark for a compliment. “Why, that’s the first jest you've attempted as long as I've known you. was the happy reply. “I really think you are beginning to like me.” “And 1 know it !“ was the hearty response. “I tell you, when one goes through what I have endured during the past two weeks and then someone like you comes along,—well, I feel so relieved already, that I almost have to jest. I almost changed into a bear during those two weeks ' “I should say you did !“ agreed Miss Rrenner emphatically. “W hen I came into your office this morning, 1 was almost afraid of you. Rut i made up my mind to answer you in the same way in which you spoke to me. I guess I forgot myself, for I know I’ve been literally ordering you around your own office and home.” ”1 don’t think it did me any harm,” replied Silas, reassuringly. “Don’t you think someone ought to meet your son at the depot, tomorrow ?” “Why, yes.” “Very well, then, 1 11 attend to that. I’ve decided to have another wedding here in the house, so it will seem more realistic to you.” “That would be fine,” said Silas. “I will like that very much.” “I've planned a surprise for you,” she said. “It’s to take place to- morrow night, and if you want to get the full benefit of it you will have to do just as I command. Now, come into the reception room.” and she led the way. “Here, she said, when they were standing in the middle of the floor, “is where they are going to build a splendid little altar, with a canopy of real roses. The bridal couple will come in that door and walk between two rows of potted shrubs to the altar, where the cere- mony will be performed. A semi-circle of seats will be arranged here for the guests, and you are to sit still until the ceremony is completed. I lie musicians will be over in that corner, hidden bv anv number of palms. It will be very easy for the dancers in the drawing room or parlor to hear the music. 1 hen, on the balconies there will be four little bowers, so temptingly arranged, that Pm willing to wager a thou- sand dollars that more than one couple of our guests will speak the de- ciding words tomorrow night. And, of course, the entire house will be decorated with smilax. All I want to know is, wdiat minister do vou prefer?” “Why, Mr. Dawson will do as well as any.” Very well, then I must see him early in the morning.. Oh, by the way, I have something else to tell Thomas. Please send him to me here.” “Is this to be private?” asked Silas smilingly, as he was leaving the room. “Yes; very.” A few minutes later, Thomas entered the room. “You sent for me, ma'am?” he inquired, respectfully. “Yes, Thomas. It concerns the wedding 1 was telling you about. Now, when you hear two honks of an auto horn tomorrow night, 1 want you to open that door and announce, ‘Mr. Ralph and Miss Mary Mannering,’ and then, no matter what happens,—no matter what you see or hear,—stand by the door as cool and calm as usual. Is that clear?” Yes. ma'am, replied Thomas. “Does anyone else know of this?” “No,” replied Miss Brenner, mysteriously, “not even Mr. Paige. It's a secret between you and me. Keep mum !” ‘Aes, ma am, bowed I homas, and almost bursting with the im- portance of his secret, he left the room. Almost immediately, Silas entered. “May I come in now?” he asked. “I saw Thomas go and I thought I might enter.” A es. 1 homas has his instructions. I have included several clderlv people in my invitations, Mr. Paige,” she replied. “I thought you would like to have some people of your age here, so you wouldn’t feel strange. Among others, I have invited Mr. and Mrs. Mannering.” “Good!” exclaimed Silas. “Why, I went to Harvard myself with Mannering. 1 ell me.—I don’t believe I've asked you as yet,—what is, or rather, what was my daughter’s-in-law name?” I promised not to tell.” smiled Miss Brenner, “but I don't think you will be disappointed in her.” I m sure 1 won t if she resembles you in any way,” replied Silas, smilingly, as she laughingly left the room, saving, 'I have a very busy day ahead of me for tomorrow, so I must bid you good night, now, and she was gone to her room, laughingly mur- muring to herself, “I wonder what he'll say!” “Bang! Bang!” Silas stirred uneasily in bed. Bang! Bang!! Half awake. Silas groaned and turned over. Bang!! Bang!!! With a grunt of disgust, Silas opened his eyes and sat up very erectly in bed. He reached out and pulled the window shade to one side, and, in the east, he beheld the most beautiful sunrise 1 e had ever seen. The fiery orb was jnst sticking its glowing brow over tbc horizon to see if darkness had disappeared, and as soon as he was satisfied, the sun came up boldly and brazenly and flashed his brilliant beams over the earth. The great day had dawned! “BANG! BANG!!” What in thunder is the matter down there? he grumbled, as the sounds of hammering from below continued. As no answer suggested itself to him and as lie very sensibly realized that he could not sleep with that racket going on. he decided to get up and dress, and he suited the action to the thought. After his cold tub and hasty shave he felt much better and more agreeable, so that it was in a pleasant state of mind that he descended the stairs to discover who was arousing him at this untimely hour. The noise came from the reception room, and thither he turned his footsteps. I'pon entering the room a strange sight met his eyes. These people must have been working all night to have accomplished so much ! I he scene represented to Silas a miniature cathedral built on a radical plan. In the center of the room was a small platform with two steps leading up to it. A small, but realistic pulpit was built at the edge of the plat- form in which the pastor should stand, and the carpenters were just finishing the skeleton for the rose canopy which was to add to the beauty of the scene. From the door of the reception hall up to the platform, two rows of potted shrubs flanked a narrow strip of carpet. The mu- sicians' alcove of palms was complete except for the placing o f two or three plants, which left an opening for the musicians to enter. Facing the altar were perhaps a hundred chairs, arranged in semi-circles and in the center of the first row, commanding the finest view, were three large easv chairs, with soft leather cushions. I wonder who they are for.” mused Silas aloud. 1 can tell you. replied Miss Brenner, entering the room at this moment. “You will occupy the center one and the Mannerings will sit on either side of you. Do not forget to arrange this: I won’t have time, but it is essential to my plans. Thomas. she turned and called to the butler, who was waiting in the next room with an armful of rugs, glad to be of assistance to the imperative, but kind young lady “who had the run of the house.” •Yes. ma’am ' answered Thomas, advancing eagerly. •‘Help me arrange these rugs on the altar,” and she advanced to the center of the room, Thomas following. -This place is too busy for me,” thought Silas, as he made his way to the dining room. The room was utterly barren, chairs, tables and everything resembling furniture having been removed. Passing thru the dining room he went to the kitchen, where the maid and cook were just polishing the last pieces of silverware. As he turned away from the kitchen he encountered Miss Brenner, who said: Now, Mr. Paige, you see we are very busy and I don’t think you will even find it comfortable around here today, so you'd best go to the office right away.” -But,” protested Silas, “I haven't yet breakfasted!” “Neither have the rest of us.” was the reply. “I think you can get a good breakfast at some restaurant down town. We really haven’t time to get anything ready for you.” “Very well,” replied Silas, and a few minutes later lie was gone. Almost immediately four dressmakers were admitted to the house and hustled into the blue room, where they were closeted with Miss Bren- ner for about a half hour. W hen she came out she had her hat and coat on, and a few minutes later she was whirled away in the auto, Jackson at the wheel. They stopped at several stores where Miss Brenner left orders and Silas’ checks. At three o’clock they had a light meal at a down town restaurant. At half-past three the young lady entered Silas’ office. “Oh. Mr. Paige,” she said breathlessly, “I need one more check. Please give me a blank one. So far I’ve spent nine hundred, including that spent yesterday. This will positively be the last one. Thank you ! Now, will you please go into the outer office? I wish to use your phone. My message is very private.” and she thanked him again, as, without a word, he left the room. ()nly the person to whom she phoned knows what that message was. but it is certain that she made arrangements to meet someone somewhere. “When you come home tonight,” said Miss Brenner to Silas, when he re-entered the office.” come through the rear door; the front rooms will be full of busy people,” and smilingly she ran out of the room. “To the Victorian Tailoring Parlors, Jackson,” she ordered, as she stepped into the waiting auto. Arrived there, she entered the establish ment, met the “someone,” surrendered the check and then was driven home. As she stepped from the auto she said: “At six-thirty, Jackson, I want you to return to the tailor’s place, and you will find someone, whom you are to bring to the house, waiting for you.” Yes. ma’am,” replied Jackson, respectfully touching his cap. as the young lady turned and entered the house. Everything inside was con- fusion. There seemed to be a small army at work there, but she did not stop to see how they were doing their work ; the blue room held more interest for her, and she made her way there without delay. When she emerged from the room, a short time later, her face was wreathed in smiles. When Silas entered the house at six-thirty, it was a very flushed Miss Brenner who metr him and “shooed” him up the rear stairs to “dress as soon as possible, because the guests will arrive at seven o'clock.” It pleased him to be under the young lady’s direction, and there- fore he obeyed her immediately. As he ascended the stairs, he found himself looking forward with joyful anticipations to the ceremony. At seven-fifteen, Silas, in evening clothes, descended the stairs. At the bottom he stood and stared about. Was this really his own home? Certainly it did not appear to be. The scene confronting him closelv resembled a Japanese tea garden. Any number of Japanese lanterns threw their dimmed light on tables and chairs of rustic design, potted flowers and shrubs, and a liberal number of small palm-trees in tubs. The floor was covered with a thick matting which, when one walked on it. gave forth the sound of crackling leaves. Tt was truly a piece of art. the arrangement of that room, and Silas stood gazing for almost five minutes. Then he made his way to the reception room. At the thres- hold he paused a moment to become familiar with the scene. This room was even more gorgeously arranged! The lights from four hundred candles, liberally scattered about the room, fell in mellow tones on the brilliant assembly of people, young and old. who were already seated in their chairs, waiting expectantly. The rose canopy was perfect and the bridal path was strewn with flowers. Like the dining room, this room represented a living garden, but the effect was brought about mostly by bright flowers. When he had filled his eyes, Silas made his way to his seat, nodding' and smiling at everyone. He was feeling at least ten years younger than lie really was. Xo doubts now assailed his mind as to the quality of the wife his son had chosen. He greeted the Mannerings heartily and almost immediately started speaking about Harvard, recalling little episodes of their college life, which, like wine, grow better with age. At exactly seven-thirty things began to happen. There were two sharp toots of an auto horn sounding from outside and almost imme- diately the door was thrown open and Thomas, in happy tones, an- nounced : Mr. Ralph Paige and Miss Mary Mannering! Simultaneously with this announcement, the orchestra, effectively concealed in their palm alcove, swung softly into the beautiful strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, and then down the flower-strewn pathway they came, the minister following. Silas stretched his neck to see closely. How handsome his tall son looked, and how proud ! Then he looked at the figure by his side. Yes. she was beautiful, and she did look like Miss Brenner. She was looking straight at him, now. smiling brightly. Why— yes, she was winking at him ! Silas stared,—how familiar she looked.—that smile,—yes. he was certain of it now,—it was Miss Brenner herself. So this was the surprise she had promised him. Well. Silas wasn’t sorry, and while the minister was speaking the important words which united them forever, lie leaned over to his old college chum and asked: “Did you know of this?” Xo.” was the reply, “I didn’t even know she was in town !” At the conclusion of the ceremony, his son's wife rushed over to Silas and with a glowing face threw her arms about his neck and kissed him, saying: I hope you’ll forgive me. Mr. Paige. You see. Ralph and I weren’t married at college. He wanted me to. but I insisted on coming here to find out whether the wedding would be satisfactory to you. Your pre- dicament in the office gave me an excellent opportunity to become ac- quainted with you, but if you hadn’t shown that you liked me, there would have been no wedding. Now. what do you think of your son’s judgment ?” “It's wonderful! answered Silas eagerly, and grasping his son by the hand, he added, “1 don’t see how the young fool did it!” A few hours later at the table with the Mannerings and the newly- married couple, Silas, with sparkling eyes and Hushed cheeks, arose and proposed a toast: “Ladies and Gentlemen: For a good many years. I have been in the habit of looking on all of my son’s doings as foolish, but his judgment in choosing a wife more than atones for all past performances. 1 drink to the new mistress of Twin Oaks, My Son’s Wife.!” EMIL J. KR1 EG, 1! 14. Conjugium Deorum After years of wooing and struggling, Peleus, king of Phthia, finally won Thetis, daughter of Nereus and Doris, for his companion in this life. For many weeks, Thetis and her servants had been preparing for her marriage. The coral caves of Nereus, beneath the wind-tossed billows were fit places to celebrate the marriage of one whom Jupiter and Nep- tune both had tried in vain to secure. The work of preparing such a banquet did not fall into the hands of one individual, nor of two: but, even the gods had to extend their help to this great festival. Vulcan was very heavily burdened : his task was to forge out on his magic anvil fifty beautiful chairs of gold and ten tables, covered with rare jewels. But by far the best example of his skill was a ring of gold, the gift of Peleus to his future wife. Doris. Thetis’ mother, whose task it was to prepare a banquet, pleasing to both gods and men, was busily engaged in producing such delicacies as nec- tar, ambrosia and sweet-smelling wines. Although taxed with all this work, she did not forget to supervise the building of a large magic boat, equally staunch in a calm and rough sea. to he drawn by fifty pure white swans, for the sole purpose of allowing the happy bride to traverse her father's realm, during her mortal honeymoon. Mercury, commissioned by Jupiter, was deliverer of all the invitations to both mortals and gods. The joviality of the gathering at this festival was greatly enhanced by the presence of many great divinities and a large assemblage of mor- tal rulers and kings. At the appointed hour, almighty Zeus arrived, accompanied by Victoria, most beloved of his attendants,—Fama, the hundred-tongued goddess of fame,—and the goddess of Fortune, poised on a constantly revolving wheel. So much did Jupiter love Ganymedes, his new cup-bearer, who recently had replaced Hebe, who had been re- moved from her office because of carelessness, that he allowed him the use of a golden chariot drawn by pure white steeds. Just so lie came on this spectacular night and very different lie looked, since leaving his mean occupation of tending sheep on the woody slope of Mount Ida. Next in joyful company, in jovial conversation came jealous Juno, beau- tiful Venus and shrewd Minerva, goddess of Wisdom, all unaware of what unfriendly words would he spoken by each later on. What a pretty sight it was as this immortal company descended from heaven to the coral caves beneath the sea! Peleus had not forgotten his mortal friends, with whom he wished to keep on friendly terms, in order to rule successfully his great king- dom. Perseus, king of the insular power of Crete, was there with a brilliant retinue. Priam, king of Troy, assembled his frend on the Tro- jan shore and sailed over the sea to the scene of festivals. The king of Greece and many other minor lords and rulers received long-for invita- tions. When all the guests had assembled, the wedding ceremony occu- pied their attention first. The main hall of the extensive caves was re- modeled and shaped like an amphitheatre; seats were made of pure marble and the ceiling shone and glistened with long pointed crystals, all decorated with golden streamers, bearing short witty phrases suit- able for the occasion. Five vestal virgins with flaming torches led the bridal procession. The ceremony was very simple, consisting merely in having Juno pronouncing Peleus and Thetis man and wife. After the wedding ceremony had been duly carried out, all retired to the banquet hall. Gold was in evidence everywhere and making a marked contrast with the beautiful white walls of this coral palace. Jupiter, by virtue of his power, seated himself at the head of the main table with frivolous Juno at his side. The bridal party of Peleus and his wife remained at the lower end. while the rest of the guests seated themselves around the other nine tables wrought by Vulcan. Very ceremoniously, the king of gods and men ended his toast with telling what the fates had decreed would be the outcome of this happy marriage; namely, that the son of Thetis would be greater than his father. Many were tlie toasts and pledges of friendship offered at the heavenly board and long did the feast and its festivities continue. Every- one was eager for his or her turn at giving a short talk. At last, when all their appetites were satisfied the entire party with- drew to another large hall, decorated entirely in pure white. Here the joyous crowd broke up into small groups, telling each other of their various fortunes and their affairs of love, which they had experienced during their lives. By far the most interesting group of all was that of Jupiter and Neptune. Why should it not be, for it was these same two immortal rulers that had wooed long for the hand of fair Thetis? Jupiter, always taking the honor to speak first, told how successful he was; but after consulting the three weird sisters of fate, who told him that the son of the daughter of Nereus would be far greater than his father, lie pondered this reply in heavenly way, until he decided to renounce the marriage, that he might avoid such sure severing of his powers over gods and men. Neptune told how he had wooed her amidst the very depths of his blue waters, lie showed her the wonders of the sea and so pleased was she that she fell immediately in love with him and consented to marry him. But the fates still held that her son would Ire greater than his father; Neptune receiving no words more favorable than those given to Jove, considered it unwise to give itp his kingdom and allow some unknown mortal descendant to wield his mighty powers. Minerva advised him that it was best to renounce the marriage and to allow Thetis to marry some powerful king. 'This greatly offended the daughter of Xereus, but when she saw Peleus, she readily consented to such an agreement. Thus it came about that, although wooed by great divinities, the fates intervened and Thetis married a mortal king. One of the other most light-hearted groups was that of Juno, Venus and Minerva; they, who had witnessed many a similar occasion such as this. Why should they not be in a happy frame of mind, for if they were not so, would not the entire company be affected by their example? They surely lent an air of real enjoyment to the entire assemblage. Is it not human nature to desire to do some mischief in return, when we have been slighted or wronged? Among the uninvited, Eris. the ugly goddess of discord, was omitted because of her snaky locks and violent temper. To seek revenge she suddenly appeared at the banquet in the midst of the festivities. Her artful mind quickly contrived the means to end the harmony of all those present. After standing at the portal for quite a long time, and viewing all, she breathed upon them with her poisonous breath and threw in their midst an apple of gold, bearing the inscription, “To the Fairest.” Would not this create a great disturbance among mortal men and women and surely no less so with the powers above? Every god and goddess and even some mortal wo- men immediately strove to gain the prize; but finally, everyone gave way except Juno, Venus and Minerva, who hotly contested for the honor of keeping this prize. Haughty Discord stood near the threshold, enjoying to the utmost, this mean trick of hers. Juno declared she surely ought to have it, her reason being that she was the queen of the gods and supreme in majesty and power. Proud Venus haughtily asserted that the goddess of beauty had the best claim of anything that was intended for the fairest. Minerva contended that her wisdom and knowledge were far better assets than external charms. At first the guests were willing to act as judges, but all seemed loath to do this, when the three contestants de- clared their intention to use all their power against the persons not judging according to the contestants’ desires. At this instant, Jove came forward and determined to end the feud immediately. With his keen and far-seeing eyes, he scoured the whole world for a young man whom he thought to be the fairest of the world’s fair men. His eye was soon fixed upon the heights of Mount Ida, where a young shepherd was tending his flocks. 1 le quickly sent his messenger to the young lad and had him brought to his presence. This fair herdsman was none othei than the son of Priam, king of Troy, Paris by name. It was decided at this divine tribunal that Paris should settle the question of who was the fairest on the next day. Thus ended the marriage ceremony and banquet of Peleus and The tis amid great disorder and strife; everyone gave some excuse for leav- ing this disgraceful scene, which was entirely due to the foul efforts of Kris. Many wars of bloodshed and years of strife followed in the wake of Paris' judgment because of the jealousy of Juno and Minerva, whom the prince of Troy wronged by not considering them the fairest.

Chaque pays a ses propres habitudes, ses propres traditions, et ses institutions sont le resultat de ses continues. Malgre les critiques, qu’on puisse offrir contre les presentes continues de France, les conditions existantes peu- vent etre et tres probablemeut sont les meilleur, qui s’adaptent a l’hu- incur et aux besoins du peuple frangais. Puisque les orginisations politiques de France et de rAmerique sont si differentes, il faut donner un contour href du gouvernement frangais pour comprendre le systeme d’education. En France et en Algerie il y a quatre-vingt-dix departe- ments. Chaque departement se divise en plusiers arrondissements, chaque canton contient plusiers communes. Pariant generalement, les departcments correspondent aux etats americains, les arondissements a leurs comtes, et les communes a leur villes. Le canton est purement un district administratif. Il y a dix-sept divisions d’education en France et en Algerie, qui s’appellent academies et a la tete de chacune est un recteur, qui est uomme par le president de la republique frangaise. Le gouvernement national exerce une autorite directe sur tons les departcments d’educa- tion. En France quoique les petites divisions politiques out certains pouvoirs d’initiative et d’autorite. On donne line meilleure education dans les universitees, et il y a une pour chaque academic. On regoit l’education secondaire dans les lycees et les colleges. Aujourd' hui le systeme d’education frangaise est un des plus cen- tralizes du monde. En 1889 les maitres de l’ecole communale etaient faits fonctionnaires et commencerent a recevoir leurs appointements du tresor national. A la tete de ce systeme d’education est un homme dont le titre est “Le Ministre de 1’Instruction Publique et des Beaux Arts.” Ce ministre a un cabinet qui s’appelle “comite du contentieux.” et il se compose le dix-sept membres. Ce cabinet n’a pas dc pouvoir, il est seulenient un cabinet de conseil. Les appointements des maitres de la I rance sont tres petits en les comparant avec ceux de l’Amerique. Ceux, cpii sont le mieux eleves, et out le plus proeminentes positions, ne regoi- vent cpie mille francs par an. Il y a plus d'instituteurs en France que d’institutrices, meme dans les plus basses classes. Mais les homines n’ont presque rien a faire avec l'education des lilies, parce qu'il faut cpie loutes les ecoles des lilies soient sous l'instruction dime femme. Nulle ville, excepte Paris, n’a plus d’un lycee des gargons. Paris en a doiize, variant en nombre d'eleves de I.abanal avec cpiatre cents eleves a Janson de Sailly avec vingt-un cents.

Les structures sont principalement de trois etages. de pierre et de brique, avec la plus grande portion du rez-de-chaussee cedee aux salles-dc- classe. An deuxieme etage sont les laboratoires et les dortoirs. Au troisieme etage sont d’autres dortoirs et chambres pour les domestiques (pii demeurent a 1 ecole. Le gymnase occupe le centre dime petite puece de terre. Entre le gymnase et l'entree se trouve “la cour d'honeur,” et un jeune garcbn nose y penetrer. La plupart des salles-de-classe frangaises sont tres steriles. Les murailles de ces salles sont sans ornements exejite une carte de geog- raphic occasionelle et un petit tableau noir. C’est ties maladroit car un maitre frangais ne pent envoyer qu’un eleve au tableau noir. Pour nettoyer ce tableau, il y a une ]� iece de calicot on une seche eponge,C|ui n'est pas tres bygienique. Les ecoles frangaises ordinairement sont tres mal eclairees et ebauffees. Le travail gynmastique, qu’on donne dans les ecoles est si facile cpie les gargons n’ont ) as d'habits gynmastiques.

ELSA WERXER. After vainly endeavoring to persuade our faculty advisers to be- lieve that we were old enough to indulge in a real party, we, as Fresh- men, settled down to quiet living for a year at least. However, after a few months of Sophomore life, we made our debut into the world of society by giving a class party. Despite the raging elements, we all gathered together on the appointed Friday to have our share of the merry-making in the gym, which was converted into a per- fect bower by the untiring efforts of our class electricians, Izzo and Corrigan, and decorators. The class colors predominated, this idea being effectually carried out in the streamers of maroon and gold, elec- tric bulbs and the huge class shield which was suspended from the running track, from which the numerals flashed intermittently. The party began in earnest with the grand march, which was led by Presi- dent Otto Wolf and Anna Roth, and which was followed by dancing until eight. Those who did not care to “trip the light fantastic,” how- ever, were amused in the various rooms with cards and other games A buffet luncheon was served in the dining and reception rooms where baskets of jonquils graced the tables. Thus the social career of our Sophomore life drew to a successful close. With our Junior year came our Junior Hop, which was the most successful ever given. It was decided to have the Hop at the Masonic Temple, as the gym had always been uncomfortably crowded. Here, again, the class colors were used effectively by means of streamers which were fastened to the balcony and met in the center of the ceiling where a huge revolving ball of smilax and poinsettas was suspended. Refreshments were served on the stage, which was banked with palms and poinsettas for the holiday season. In May we presented our Junior Play, which was also very success fill in every way. ft, too, was given at the Masonic Temple and con- sisted of a vaudeville of four acts. Much of the acting was decidedly clever, the minstrel act especially being a perfect scream. Among those participating were: Lynd Walkling, W alter Gross, Earl Raymond, Howard Patterson. Emil J. Krieg, Jay Lenick, Saul Kanter, Charles Cummings, Franklin Bromm, William Granse, William O'Keefe, Gilbert Brooks, Mildred Packard, Loraine Bradt, Elsa Jane Harris, Florence Baum, Paul Geisler, Ellen Green, Florence Driggs, Ruth McClelland, Helen Roberts, Ruth Robertson, Marie Horning. In June, we entertained our departing Seniors on the Steamer Mel- bourne. Cards and dancing were enjoyed on the decks and .refreshments were served. 'The boat returned at nine. Thus ended the social career of our Junior year. Upon our entrance into that great awe-inspiring class of Seniors, we were for a time so taken with our dignity that little was thought of giving parties. Finally, however, some of the more aggressive brought up the subject of a class entertainment of some sort. It was then de- cided to give a class party in the gym and the fact that it was a strictly class party was emphasized. Dancing was enjoyed from eight until twelve, and ices were served. During the evening, Ralph Morley and William Norris, in sailor costume danced the Sailor's Hornpipe. This difficult dance was executed so well that they were forced to respond to an encore. John I lall sang two very pleasing solos, accompanied by Miss Hauer, and the High School Quartet, composed of Shirley Corri- gan, Frederick Schmidt, Kurt Opperman and John Hall, sang “The Friar’s Song” and “Sitting ’Round the Fire.” Plans are now under way for a Senior Play, but as yet parts have not been assigned. And now, I feel that as we depart and look over High School days, we realize that they have been far from dull. ELSA JANE HARRIS. KURT OPPEEMANN CLASS OF 1915 Class Colors Green and White.

These consist of an Orches- tra, Amphion and Glee Clubs, which have continued to progress under the leadership of efficient directors. With the exception of the Orches- tra, the members of these Clubs are all High School students. The Orchestra, which was reorganized this year, is directed by Miss Clara Miller Lauer. and has gained great popularity among the students. It has often been heard in chapel and also outside of school, as it has taken part in musicals and entertainments. The Amphion, a singing club of girls, would certainly be a cerdit to any school. It is directed by Mrs. K. M. B. Wilson, and is always greeted with praise and applause upon its many appearances. Not only in school is this club known, but it has gained wide popularity outside of school as it is often called upon to take part in entertainments. The Glee Club of boys, ably directed by Miss Clara Miller Lauer, is always enthusiastically received whenever it is called upon. Both this club and the Amphion are well known to the public as they have sung individually and jointly at the ()rphans banquet and at the Far- mers’ Institute for a number of years, and whenever they appear appre- ciation is never lacking. Music has from the earliest times been considered one of the largest elements of human nature. The Chinese, the most uncivilized nation on the globe, have used music for over four thousand years. They had a bureau of music in China before Apollo was old enough to ask for a lyre, gut the men of the Western world do not consider the Chinese mu- sicians. They class their compositions under the head of noise because it is the Chinese conception of music. But of late as the white men have become more numerous there, their music has improved greatly. The Greeks' great esteem for music is well portrayed in the story of Orpheus, a Grecian mythological character. He was able to play so beautifully that not only people and beasts were charmed but also rocks and trees. His beautiful wife had been taken to the lower world but through his wonderful playing he was able to take her back to the upper world on the one condition, that he did not look around at her until he had reached the upper world. This condition he violated and so he lost his wife, but to be able to influence IMuto of the underworld for such terms as these was considered marvelous. The Romans adopted music from the Greeks and used it almost exclusively in their festivals. Music today ranks high among the arts. The people are trying to have it taught more thoroughly in our public schools. Take our city for example. In the last few years most of our public schools have bought Victrolas through which they can hear the greatest musicians of the world. Victrolas are also of great assistance to the teachers, be- cause a pupil can understand better what is wanted of him by hearing the song sung than he can by the best explanation that can be given him. Our people are also striving to bring renowned artists so that we may have the privilege of hearing them. Where would our churches be without music? Even the soldier in the midst of battle feels inspired and is forced to forget his fear upon hearing some martial strain. Music is far more wonderful than words; it can speak when words fail and penetrate to the depths of one's soul. JOHN HALL.

Without The wind groaned mournfully as round the crag it whistled the snow; And in the dark and gloomy castle on the Rhine, there sat A figure, white with age and bent with care. A gown of gray Hung from his shoulders, in his hand he held a small machine. He rose and staggered ’cross the room, a secret door swung out. Into a hollow deep he thrust the precious thing, then shut The door, the wall was blank and smooth. I le laid his body on A couch, cried out, “ Tis safe ! he shall not find it now !”—and died. On a lovely sunny morning late in June, I found myself within the Fatherland. “The Rhine!’' I cried, “I must ascend the Rhine!” So presently I stood within a boat And felt the tiny ripple ’neath my feet. Some distance up the river I beheld The ivy-covered ruins of a castle. I landed when I reached this charming spot. And through the tuml led fragments picked my way. What seemed to be a cupboard met my eye; I thrust my hand into it and withdrew A dusty, mildew-covered, wooden box Upon which was a crank, and on its side A tablet bore the words, “Confine thy thoughts To someone of whose future you would know. Then turn the crank.'” My thoughts went back at once To Saginaw High, I wondered what should hap To those who with me left its portals grand. I turned the crank. A feeble voice exclaimed, “The White House grand in Washington Now shelters Raymond’s head. Your President he surely is. And by the nation fed. In so much as Scherping his campaign led. lie deserves some office high. As Secretary of State he’ll stand Till the Chautauqua season’s nigh. He rides around the country In Lenick’s private car; For Lenick owns a railroad Whose stock is now at par. Damn must our hero’s meals prepare. For he is Secretary of the Interior. Lind Walkling’s in the cabinet, too. And lives on government pay. As Secretary of the Aggies, lie frowns when the Grangers get too gay. While as Secretary of Commerce and Labor, Waldo Losch holds sway. lie’s eminently fitted for the place. He’s so energetic they say. Elsa Harris has started what one day may be A world-famous college, and there one may see A laconical linguist of languages three, Marion Hawkins is this celebrity. Selma Randemer is in this same school And teaches Freshmen the Golden Rule. Wilson 1 eel an army brave into Mexico, Then he led it out again, as fast as he could go. Max Robertson’s at the Academy still, His job’s in the second story: He pulls the curtain up and down— He’s surely in his glory. The ancient curtain has been replaced ; The beer signs no longer are seen. For Flla Parth has repainted it. It now has a silken sheen. Celia Rabe sits in the very front row And admires this work of art. When Max raises the curtain up out of sight It nearly breaks her heart. As Latin professor stands Franklin Bromm, His teaching I'll ne’er forget. “I flunks you vonce. I flunks you tvice, Denn you goes out. you bet.” At Genesee and Washington Stands Merrill, the camera man; “I taka da picture for tena cents, one dime,” 1 le cries, as the crowd he doth scan. Nina Cosendai and Ethel Covev Run a fine laundry: Inside labors Harriet Brown with skill. She can each wrinkle see. Ralph Wallis runs a barber shop, lie talks your arm asunder; His fireman’s hair-cut is his best. At fifteen cents it's a wonder. Meta Stein runs a manicure shop. But for lack of work she dozes. Helen Frueh is down by the river In the bull-rushes painting Moses. Bill French directs a German band. His arms he wildly waves. Just as he did when he led the yells In the good old High School days. Bill Reid and Wilbur Norton Play flutes with grace and skill : France I Iebert and Norine Mayhew Accompany them with a will. Walt Gross haunts the Metropolitan, In this line he beats them all. But whether he’s owner or water-boy I can’t just now recall. Clara Otto translates Heine, Goethe and Schiller, Grimm in's Fairy Tales and Jack the Giant Killer. Agnes Wunder in Great Britain Is teaching the soldier man. To spiel the German language. As they do in the Fatherland. For under Gertrude Schroeder The army may subdue The land across the channel— That’s what they hope to do. Burkholder hopes arc at last fulfilled. He writes the preface bland For Spaulding’s Official Football Guide, Since Walter Camp left the field. From Greenland’s icy mountain To India’s coral strands, Adam Fox has travelled With his missionary hands. Hazel Walter is his companion, She helps him sing; the hymns; While I lelen Korbclick shows the heathen How to save their souls and—skins. Furlong; works for the street car folks. His artistic ability’s fine. He does himself full justice. Painting cars on the S. F. line. Our baseball team is a sorry plight. Its members, all scratching their heads. Are trying hard a new player to find. For Sage has jumped to the Feds. There’s a land that is fairer than day. Through my specs I can see it afar, Mildred Packard reformed it. they say ; 1 leave on the very next car. Dorothy Redmond, poor little thing, Has gone to England to marry the King. Anna Parsons an expert clerk shall be. She works at Baric’s. Her number is three Miss Andre works beside her. And censures her severely. When Anna begins to chew her gum It’s every minute nearly. As an orator grand in Congress, Stands Ilardon of Saginaw High. He has gained the Speaker's stand. And rules the House with an iron hand. Von Bethman Hollweg’s gone at last. And Veitengruber rules in his stead. When Bill the Second gets too fresh. No man knows what is said. , Ruth Heineman and Grace Herbeck Run a moving picture show; Clara Winkler sings inside; Blanch Secorcl sells tickets you know. Muriel Wilkinson has a shop Where they sell red socks for men; Elsa Schwartz announces the bargains Every morning at half past ten. Floyd Brown is driving a Blitzer Ford To victory on the track. While Proestal, sitting beside him. Works the oil-pump forth and back. Lyman. Our Roaring Racer Aids, In Numberless Extravagant Bets, While Patterson sits nearly in the pits. And talks to the gas wagon vets. But Lorraine Bradt sits closer than this. And hopes and prays that Try will win. Gord Rice takes a correspondence course. But nary a thing does he ever learn. Instead he has made their fine football team. When lie plays, how his paper and typewriter burn Runchey runs a brewery. His bank account grew fast. But Runchey has had to cjuit business of late. For prohibition has passed. Mac Campbell is chief tester At Jack’s distillery, He samples all the products In a manner light and free. Art Symons is a cannibal. The choicest bite of all Came when he ate Ruth McClelland For dinner one day last fall. Frieda Baker has a factory Where safety pins are made ; The fortune which she has amassed Puts John D. in the shade. In her office sits Grace Abbott. A towel around her head. For Frieda works her stenographer Until she’s nearly dead. Steve inkier has recently written a book. It's title is startling I'll state, Mow I Got Through Iligh School Before I was Twenty-eight.” ( )pperman’s an engineer upon the P. M. line, And when he has a smash-up I le does the job up fine. Florence Baum and June Spencer have gone on the stage. Their tight-wire performance has become all the rage. Ardath Lyman as a comedienne grand. Shall haul in the money hand-over-hand. While Landskroener sings in opera, To all purports and intents lie makes Signor Caruso sound About like thirty cents. In frigid Alaska on a telegraph pole. One wire leads straight to Boston Tech., I le gets his knowledge thus, I’m told. Lulu Schlickum's ride in life’s wheelbarrow Will not be smooth, she fears Cupid’s arrow. But Bernice Vasold as a farmer’s wife Shall milk the cows all through her life. Frank (iorman ne’er will ride matrimonial rocks. But lie’s happy now, lie's mending his socks. Hester Schaberg teaches Physics Back in S. II. S., She got the place which was held in my day By T. A. N. I. S. Cecile Burroughs and Fmelie Joseph Run a shop in which, they say. One may obtain all the latest lids At the price which you want t pay. Ruth Robertson one of the Four Hundred shall be. The rest are in the penitentiary. Anne Roth has gone to Russia, She holds a strong oak limb. She's waiting there to see the Czar, And “say’' something to him. Mabel Jerome and Modelle Jerome Will ne'er be wedded, I fear. They'll dwell apart from the common folk. And radiate good cheer. Great reforms are now pending, Bessie Vance heads the W. C. T. U. And Saginaw’s a better place For the work which she does do. Hanaford writes classified adds For the Saginaw Daily News; His experience with the Aurora He has put to much good use. Whitney is a chemist. I le works all night and day Testing the farmers’ sugar beets Before the trust will pay. Schwark and Taylor have an act In Ringling Brothers’ show. Their advertised stunts are impossible. But people seem to go. Genevieve FitzGerald went as a nurse When Mexico rebelled : And Jeannie McGregor, the diplomat. The insurrection quelled. Goecker again is frequenting school. But there’s method in his madness. For Principal Warner desires a new deck, And Goecker’s heart’s full of gladness. Frances Goodman is a book agent, Fler gift of gab is priceless. She talks you black, she talks you blue. To refuse to buy is useless. Baumgarten’s fame is safely secured. For lie has lately invented A brand new dance of a brand new kind. Me surely is contented.

CUMMINGS. SCliNK FROM • THE PRIVATE SECRETARY' The Senior Play Altlio nature did her grim best to thwart the brilliant plans of the Class of 'I I. nevertheless, the Senior I May was held on May MHh, at the Germania Hall, and proved to he what the morning paper in its glo- rious account called a “rousing success. The play. “The Private Sec- retarv, has been said to he the finest ever presented by any class of the Saginaw High school. Douglas Cattermolc, a rather staid young man. is forced into reck less living by an eccentric uncle who has for some years been away in India, lie insists that his nephew must sow his wild oats before he has anything to do with him. The nephew succeeds in running up some hills but that is all. Mis landlady cannot understand why he has de parted from his former quiet manner of living and presents him with hills, lust as the young man begins to explain, his friend. Harry Mars- land, enters and in order to escape being served with a writ suggests that his friend Cattermolc accompany him to the country home of his uncle. Mr. Marsland. in the capacity of the private secretary whom hi- uncle has engaged but never seen. Cattermole enters into the plan, but reluctantly. Gibson, the tailor, to whom the young men owe money, enters and suggests that Cattermole is indebted to him. Marsland. after being annoved bv Gibson s prying disposition, says he is no gentle- man. This so enrages the sensitive Gibson that he swears vengeance. Harry Marsland has with him the real private secretary, a Mr. Spauld- ing, an absurd individual in goloshes, and explains to this worthy that he is to have Mr. Cattermole’s apartments for a few days. Mrs. Stead, the landladv, enters and learns that Mr. t attcrmole is to leave the cit and that this absurd Spaulding is to stay in her house. Just as Mr Spaulding is nicelv deposited in an inner room, the eccentric uncle makes his appearance. lie thunders in and scares Mrs. Stead into spasms. She. not realizing the uncle's fad, exaggerates the young nephews vir tues and drives the uncle nearly insane. At this crucial moment, the shy Spaulding tip-toes out into the room where the uncle is writing to his fool nephew.” Of course, the uncle takes Mr. Spaulding for the “young hopeful, and the disgust and rage with which the elder Catter- mole greets his supposed nephew is not understood by the unsuspecting Spaulding. '1'he next scenes are laid in the country home of the Marslands. where the elder Cattermole comes to visit, being an old boyhood friend of the elder Mr. Marsland. I le. of course, does not know his real nephew and everything goes fairly well until Gibson, the tailor, and Spaulding make their appearance. They both must be concealed, but where? It is impossible to hide Gibson, so he is introduced as a lover of dogs. In the Marsland household are also two very charming young ladies. Miss Marsland and her friend, Miss Webster, with whom Harry and the younger Cattermole immediately fall in love. Poor Spaulding is hidden in one room and then another until his “poor head is quite bewildered,” and then the uncle discovers him, his fool nephew, in his friend’s house! Miss Ashford, the nurse in the Marsland home is a spiritualist and has for years longed for a medium. To straighten out matters, the younger Cattermole explains that Spaulding is the medium. The old lady fairly pounces on Spaulding and demands a trance. Then Gibson complicates matters by getting drunk. “The tailor comes out,” and he is ordered home. He returns, tho, to wreak vengeance on young Cat- termole. And then an explanation is inevitable. When the uncle realizes that “that miserable worm is not his nephew and that the real nephew does drink something stronger than tea. he takes him to his heart. Spaulding is restored to his position and Miss Marsland and Miss Web- ster are happily wedded to Cattermole and Marsland respectively.

McGee, Ragan and Runchey of last year’s Valley championship team, together with a number of promising scrubs. The team secured the services of Reverend T. R. Swan, quarterback of Cornell’s teams of '07 and '!) , as coach. 'Lite prospects became gloomy when it was found that we did not have games with St. Louis and Alma as was shown in the schedule. Teams could not be secured to till these dates, and Saginaw had to open her season late and handicapped by the lack of experience. A few weeks later another setback was suffered when it was an- nounced that Coach Swan had resigned. The services of certain alumni having been rejected by the school authorities, the squad had to be sat- isfied with the help of Mr. Jacklin, a member of the faculty. On September 2'i and October t, the two open Saturdays, the squad was divided into teams for practice games. Saginaw vs. Bay City Saginaw journeyed to Bay City October IK to be beaten in its first game by our down-river rivals, 2? to 1:5. The team showed the lack of experience that their opponents had gained through previous encounters. During the first three quarters. Bay City completely outclassed the Black and Gold warriors, they getting all their points in these periods. It was not until the last quarter that the Saginaw players struck their stride, and had they started their good work sooner, there would probably have been a different tale to tell. Saginaw worked the ball to Bay City’s twenty-yard line, and then the home team was penalized for their inability to keep the crowd off the field. W ith five yards to go. French was called upon, and he carried the ball over for Saginaw’s firs! touchdown. Bay City kicked off to Sheldon, who returned the pigskin to the fifty-yard line, and on the old delayed pass. Wallis ran this entire distance for the last score. Saginaw was on its way for another touch- down when time was called. Smith, Steggal and Xi 11 were the stars for Bay City, while French, Wallis and Sheldon did stellar work for Saginaw. Saginaw vs. Detroit Eastern Starting where they had left off the Saturday before at Bay City, Saginaw swamped Detroit Eastern at D. A. C. field to the tune of 44 to 6. Saginaw showed class throughout. The line played low and hard, while the backs tore Eastern's line to pieces. Both Saginaw quarter- backs, McGee and Rice, showed good headvvork, and their variation of the plays kept Detroit puzzled all the time. The only place where our backs could not penetrate was at the center which was occupied by Sielaff. Eastern's giant 264-pounder. It is hard to pick one who excelled bis teammates for Saginaw; they all played a star game. For Detroit, W eeks and Sielaff were half their team. Saginaw vs. Detroit Central Central High, of Detroit, displaying the best team work seen in Saginaw in the last few years, defeated the locals 26 to 1 at Alumni Field. November S. W hen Central entered the field, it was noted that they outweighed Saginaw some twenty pounds to the man. Notwith- standing this great advantage, the Black and Gold representatives started with that good old do or die spirit, and for the first few minutes swept the dazed Centralites off their feet. Detroit soon braced, and by a series of brilliant end runs and well executed forward passes, sent the ball over the last chalk mark for their first touchdown. Central scored twice in the second period and during the third quarter they got their last touchdown. Saginaw's only score came in the third period after McGee returned a punt from the middle of the field through the entire Detroit team for a touchdown. It was of the spectacular sort, full of pretty dodging, he having no interference. Saginaw was handicapped by the loss of their star lineman, Sheldon, who was injured during practice. Saginaw vs. Ann Arbor Displaying ilic best form of the year. Saginaw defeated Ann Arbor Saturday, November 15, at Alumni Field by the score of 22 to 0. The University City lads were unable to solve the pretty assortment of plavs which Saginaw pulled off behind good line work and interference. Saginaw’s first score came before the game was four minutes old. as a result of end runs and line plunges by French and Hanaford, French finally carrying it over. In the second period, after I 1 :i 1 had gathered in a fumble and Runchev and Fagan had brought the ball within strik- ing distance of the goal, Runchev was sent over for the second touch- down. Runchey’s goal from placement in the third period and a touch- down by himself in the last quarter totalled up the remainder of Sag inavv’s points. Weimeyer was the star for Ann Arbor, while Saginaw’s star per- formers were French, Hanaford, Hall and Runchev, the latter playing his greatest game of the season. Saginaw vs. Port Huron On November 22 % our team journeyed to Port Huron and lost by a single point, 7 to fi. The game was played in a sea of mud making it impossible for the light Saginaw team to do themselves justice against their heavier foe. Port Huron’s score came in the first period, the result of a cleverly executed forward pass to Fenton. In the third quarter. Port Huron was forced to punt. McGee caught the ball under the shadow of his goal and raced the entire length of the field for a touchdown. When Runchev failed to kick goal, our chances for tieing the score were gone. McGee was easily the star for Saginaw, while Fenton and Gill did most of Port Huron’s good work. Saginaw vs. Arthur Hill On Thanksgiving Day, Saginaw lost to Arthur Hill for the first time in nineteen years, the score being 10 to 0, one point for each beaten year. The Fast Side team was clearly outplayed, for W estern’s backs, behind perfect interference, circled Eastern’s ends and plowed through their line at will. Saginaw started out in whirlwind fashion only to lose the hall after ■i few minutes. Arthur Hill then inarched to the one-yard line, where the East Siders held them for downs. A brilliantly executed double pass by McGee and Runchey brought the ball to the thirty-five-yard line. The ball see-sawed up and down the field, and in a short while time was called. In the second quarter, Arthur Hill's attempt at place kick went |mv. Saginaw recovering the pigskin on her one-yard line. French’s punt was blocked and Mason fell oil it. giving Arthur I I ill her first touch down against Saginaw in twelve years. The West Siders kicked off and, after failing to gain, the East Siders were forced to punt. A series of end runs and forward passes brought the ball to the eight-yard line and Ippel carried it over for Arthur Hill's second touchdown. There was no scoring in the third period, but in the last quarter, after the West Siders had received the ball on Saginaw's forty-five-yard line, they marched down the field for their last touchdown. Raymond starred for Arthur Hill. He was easily their whole team and we have nothing but praise for him. Every one of the East Siders placed their best and fought gamely to the last minute. THE EIXE-UP. CAPTAIN Rl'XCHEY—Jack starred on long end runs, and was also a good line bucker. while his defensive playing was always good. This was his third year on the team. MAXAGER EREXCH— Hull is also a third year man. lie was one of the best fullbacks that ever wore a Saginaw uniform. Mis line plunging was feared by all who ever played against him. CAPTA I X-EEECT McGEE—“Maggie was considered one of the best open field runners in the state. He scored our only points in the Detroit Central and Port Huron games by his long runs. As captain next year, the Class of 1!M 1 hopes to see him lead the team that will return the Valley cup and avenge the Arthur Hill defeat. HAXAEORD—Don was one of the hardest workers on the team, lie could always lie depended upon to make his share of the gains. RICE— Gord played steadily, and showed good headwork at all times. HALL—Although small. Jack was big enough to get everyone that came his way, no matter if he were an Atlas. BAUMGARTEN—“Al” was the find of the season. Although a new man at the game, he always was there when a line plunge came his way. BURKHOLDER—“Burk” certainly showed that he could come back. The fact that he was placed on the All-Valley team showed his worth. POLSON—“Squire” was a consistent player, man for he could fill almost any position. WINKLER—This was “Steve’s” second year, defense, breaking in and spoiling many plays. He was a valuable I le was good on the HUMPHREY—Jack could always be depended upon to play a stellar game when sent in. He has another year y et. and great things are expected of him in 15)14. SHELDON—“Alec” was one of the mainstays of the line. His un- timely injury just before the Detroit Central game cost him his “S.” ALKLING—I his was Lynd’s first year on the team. He was a hard worker, and always played for all that was in him. RA MOND—Earl was also a first yrear man. He fought hard all the time holding up his side of the line in great sty le. EAGAN—“Curly” starred on pulling down forward passes. He was also a sure and hard tackier. EADOCK—“Art” showed that he had a future in football when he was sent into the Arthur Hill game, and did what our veteran back- field men had failed to do, break through the West Siders’ line. “Art will be back next year, and with McGee, Sheldon and Humphrey will form a nucleus for a good team.

The jinx which had followed the football team was again evi- denced when Don llanaford announced that lie was forced to quit ath- letics on account of ill health, thus leaving Captain Runchey the only veteran of last year’s team. Fears of a poor team were cast aside when our team defeated the Alumni in their annual game 30 to 24. The Alumni team consisted of old stars who have won glory for the Black and Gold in past years, while practically every man on the Saginaw squad was given a chance. Saginaw vs. Bay City Eastern Saginaw opened her interscholastic season by defeating Bay City Kastern in our gymnasium 24 to IT. The game was close and exciting throughout, with the usual amount of roughness that is displayed when the two rival teams meet. Eleven of Bay City’s points were gotten through the ability of Gallagher to shoot fouls. In this department of the game Saginaw was very weak, making only one free throw in fifteen chances. It was anybody’s game during any part of the first half, Saginaw finally leading 1) to S. They stayed together until the last ten minutes of play when our team cinched it by scoring four baskets in a row. Saginaw’s guards, Runchey and Baumgarten, held their veteran opponents to no baskets, a feat which is unusual in basketball. McCor- kle and Rice, both new men, played with the confidence of veterans, while Winkler at center played an exceptionally good game. Saginaw vs. Arthur Hill Saginaw administered Arthur Mill her semi-annual defeat January 2.4rd by the score of 42 to 40, on the Teutonia dance floor, the slipperi- ness of which nearly cost Saginaw the game. It was impossible for our boys to stop or get started again when necessary, while it was the liking of the West Siders who were used to it. Arthur Hill started out in great style scoring twelve points before Saginaw could get started. After starting, however, they came strong, finishing the half only five points behind, 21 to 1( . In the early part of the second half, these five points were made up. From then on a basket or foul by either team would put them in the lead. 'The Saginaw quin- tet, due to the accurate fould shooting of Captain Runchey, was ahead bv a margin of two points when the whistle blew. McCorkle, Rice and Runchey were the point-getters, while Baum- garten and Winkler did stellar work on the defense. Saginaw vs. Lansing In one of the roughest and most hard fought games ever witnessed in the Manual Training gymnasium. Saginaw won from Lansing 21 to 1!). Most of the points were gotten in the first half which ended 1 I to 12 with Saginaw on the long end. In the second half, each team got seven points. As in the Arthur Mill game the outcome hinged on the foul shooting. This time it was McCorkle who was the hero, lie shot four fould in four attempts during the last five minutes of play. Lansing played the best defensive game ever seen on our court. Palmer, the midget of their quintet, was the star. Saginaw vs. Alpena Crippled by the ineligibility of Wallis, Winkler and Captain Run chew Saginaw lost to Alpena on February 14, by the score of 23 to IT. Alpena had a hard time in winning, and at no time during the game were they out of danger. The Northerners started out by caging the ball three times in a row, but Saginaw soon struck her stride, the first half ending Alpena 10, Sag- inaw (� . Toward the close of the second period, Saginaw tied up the score only to have Alpena forge ahead again. The two recruits, Raymond and Hackstadt, did fine work, the latter holding the much heralded Couture to four baskets. Saginaw vs. Grand Rapids On February 7th, Saginaw journeyed to Grand Central High’s State Championship team 50 to 22. our team put up some kind of opposition, but in the fense went to pieces and Central scored at will. Rapids and lost to In the first period second half our de- Drummond and Coffey were the main pointgetters for Grand Rapids, while Baumgarten’s guarding is not to he overlooked. Saginaw was handicapped by the ineligibility of their captain. Saginaw vs. Detroit Central The Saginaw High school basketeers lost to Detroit Central at De- troit. February 22nd. 31 to 22, through tough luck. Saginaw started out as victors and gave the over-confident Centralites the scare of their life. By good team work and accurate passing, the Black and Gold quin- tet managed to stow away a 15 to 8 lead at the end of the first half. But in the second half the calamity came. Whether it was caused by miser- able luck or by the thoughts that they had a good enough lead, we do not know. But we do know that many Saginaw shots rolled around the rim of the basket ai d out again, and in the meantime Central was piling up a nice little lead. Rice and McCorkle did most of the scoring for Saginaw, while Run- cliey and Baumgarten were there on the defense. Saginaw vs. Arthur Hill Before one of the largest crowds ever assembled in our gymnasium. Saginaw swamped Arthur Mill Friday, February 21th. by a 40 to 21 score. After the first few minutes, the outcome was never in doubt. Sagi- naw leading at the end of the first half IS to 10. In the second period it was a scoring fest for our forwards, our team making 28 points to Arthur Hill's 10. Saginaw played her best game of the season. The team work was fine and the basket shooting was accurate. McCorkle led the scoring with ten baskets while Wallis and Rice each got five. The guarding of Baumgarten and Runchey was again extraordinary, each of their men getting one basket. Saginaw vs. Bay City Western Bay Citv Western was given its anual trouncing, Tuesday, March 13th. bv the score of 43 to 17. After holding the Saginaw quintet to a 11 to 12 lead in the first half. Western went to pieces, and the Saginaw- ians rang baskets from all angles. For the first time of the season every member of the team was eligible. Saginaw vs. Bay City Eastern por the first time in nine years Saginaw suffered a defeat at the hands of a Valley team. It was Bay City Eastern that broke this un- blemished record on March th. by defeating the Black and Gold qiiin- tet hi to 25. In the first period. Saginaw put up a good game, being njv four points behind when the half ended. But the second half showed the effects of the Western game, played three days before. The team seemed stale and played very listlessly. Steggal was Bay City's -tar. scoring eleven baskets from the field, while Kite was responsible for half of Saginaw’s points. Saginaw vs. Pontiac Saginaw journeyed t Pontiac on March With and defeated the svhnn City lads 2:5 to 1«. The first half was rather slow and uninteresting and marked by the fumbling and poor passing of both teams. Pontiac trailed the Saginaw quintet from the start, the half ending with the score 1(5 to 7 in Saginaw’s favor. Pontiac came strong in the second half, but they could not over- come Saginaw’s great lead. Saginaw vs. Flint Saginaw closed her scheduled basketball season by swamping Flint 5 to 1(5. Getting a whirlwind start. Saginaw scored enough points in the first ten minutes to win the game. From then on it was to see which Saginawian was to get the most baskets. McCorkle shot ten field goals while Winkler's eight was a close second. The first half ended with the score standing 23 to 7. In the second period. Saginaw gained 34 points while Flint scored nine more through hook or crook. If Flint had been able to shoot baskets the game would have been very interesting. bile, on the other hand, if Saginaw had gotten all the baskets which she had missed, the score would have been closer to 200 than 57. Saginaw vs. Bay City Eastern To satisfy the curiosity of the Valley principals. Saginaw consented to play Bay City a post season game at the Saginaw . M. C. A., on April 3rd, and lost by three points, 20 to 26. The game was fast and hard-fought throughout, and when time was called at the end of the first half. Bay City was leading 1(5 to 11. l„ tjle second half, Saginaw came hack strong, and outplayed Eastern all tin way, tieing the score at 25 all. Bay City broke this tie and took the lead again, winning out by a basket and a foul. I'l 1 E CINE-UP . CAPTAIN RUNCHEY— Runch was one of the best guards in the state. hen he resolved that his man was not to get over a certain number of baskets, he never got even the amount. He was somewhat of a basket-shooter himself, for he would always come through with a goodly number. MeCORKLE—Although this was “Jerry's” first year on the team, lie played like a veteran. lie was an actuate basket-shooter and good in passing the hall. RICE—“Cord was one of the “slipperiest” men in the state. He was a sure shot and his dodging was always a feature. WINKLER—“The big boy with the blonde thatch who specialized in long shots”—Pontiac Journal. Those long shots came in handy when Saginaw needed the points. WAl.LLS—Although “Dike” 1 i 1 not get into the game until late in the season, he was a welcome addition to the team when he did come. He was an aggressive and hard player. BAUMGARTEN—“Bummy” was one of the best stationary guards that Saginaw has ever had. His man always got the least number of baskets during the game. BE1ISE—Joe was a good guard, sticking like glue. I le will be back next year, as will McCorkle. RA MOND—Earl was a hard, aggressive worker, lie was a good basket-shooter and a fine defensive player. FRANK A. GORMAN 14. _ HAS KRAI. I. TK AM GORDON RICH, Capt. HENRY SAGE, Mgr. BASEBALL At the first sign of warm weather. Captain Rice issued his call for baseball candidates. Of last year's team. Cord Rice. Kip Rice, Sage. McCee. McCorkle, and Dull reported, augmented by such promising- candidates as Weadock. French. W atts, and Barth. II. S. Doolittle, who was responsible for the return of the Valley Cup last year, again con- sented to coach the team. With such a wealth of material, a fine coach, and a good schedule, the prospects for a winning team have never been brighter. Saginaw vs. St. Louis Saginaw opened her baseball season on April 25th, by defeating the strong St. Louis team 11 to T. As Kip Rice was ineligible. Barth and Veitengruber were sent to the mound. The former showed up better. for he only allowed two runs and three hits, while five runs and seven hits were gotten off of Veitengruber. The team seemed to be in mid-season form. They stole bases at will while their hitting and fielding were both good. Weadock, Rice Sage, and French did the heavy work with the stick, for they each gut two hits apiece.

For the first six innings, the Flushing lads put up a good opposition but in the seventh the balloon went up. Four singles, five stolen bases, an error, a sacrifice hit gave Saginaw four runs, which were enough to win the game. Watts led his teammates with four hits.

A pompous physician, who was inclined to criticize others, was watching a stone-mason build a fence for his neighbor and thought the mason was using too much mortar. He said: “Jim. mortar covers up a good many mistakes, does it not?” “Yes. doctor,” replied the mason, “and so does the spade.” A FRIENDLY REQUEST. He was subject to fainting speels and before starting he wrote this note, which he pinned to his shirt: “To the Doctor: If I fall on the street and am taken to the hospital, do not operate. My appendix has been removed twice already.” “I will go down the chimney first, if you don't mind.” said the polite chimney- sweep. “Oh. certainly, soot yourself.” replied the equally courteous assistant. “After all.’ said Jay. “it's true that.

The Sunday school teacher was making a review of the Bible lessons. “Who was the wisest man. James?” “Solomon.” “That’s right. .Vow, Frank, who was the strongest man:” “Jonah ' “Wrong. What reason have you for believing Jonah to be the strongest ?� � “’Cause the whale couldn’t hold him after he had him down.” JUST THE KIND. A lecturer was touring through the country recently, and delivered an ad- dress before an audience in a country schoolhouse. In the course of his remarks he reviewed the agricultural prospects of the country, and as an illustration told a story of a poor farmer who had died leav- ing to his wife the farm heavily mortgaged, lie said that the widow set to work with a will, and succeeded upon one year’s wheat crop in paying off the entire mortgage. When he had completed his lecture, the gentleman shook hands and greeted the members of his audience. One middle-aged man finally approached him thoughtfully, and began: “I say. mister, you told a story ’bout the widow raising a mortgage on one year’s crop.” “Yes, my friend; that was a true story. It happened only two years ago.” “Well, sir. could you tell me who that widow is? She’s just the kind of wo- man I’ve been looking for all the time.” HATBD TO BOTH HR HIM. A prominent motor racer was asked by a friend if lie would be so kind as to allow three young women to accompany him while he was trying a new racing car. “Why, I can’t be bothered with passengers at a time like that, and especially with women. They always talk to me, and I must not have my mind distracted. It might prove dangerous, you know.” “But those girls won’t bother you. I’ll tell them not to. One of them is my sister. They are crazy to go; want to say they have ridden with you. You know what girls are.” “Well, if you will tell them they mustn’t speak to me while I’m driving, they may come. They must sit still and not do anything to distract my mind. You impress this upon them. If they are willing to do this, they may come.” The promise was made and they started. At one place the driver ran over an obstacle, and there was a tremendous bump. He did not try to look around. as lie was going; at a rapid rate of speed, hut presently he felt a timid touch on his shoulder. “What is it?” he growled. A weak little voice answered him: “Really. I hate to bother you. I know I shouldn’t, and 1 promised not to: but I felt I must tell you that Helen isn’t with us.” OFF HIS GUARD. Among the members of a fashionable country club are a doctor and a minis- ter. who delight in the exchange of repartee touching their respective professions As they met one day, the minister observed that he was “going to read to old Thomson,” adding, as he was aware that the old man was a patient of his friend the doctor: “Is he much worse?” With the gravest of expressions the physician replied: “He needs your help more than mine.” Off his guard, the minister exclaimed anxiously: “Poor fellow! Is he as had as that?” “Yes,” was the reply; “he is suffering from insomnia.” A CURIOUS WORD. There is a curious word in the English language, the first two letters of which signify a male, the first three a female, the first four a great man, and the whole a great woman. The word is “Heroine.” WHERE THE MINISTER SCORED. The young lawyer didn’t like the minister and so he thought to corner him. “Now, Doctor,” he asked, “suppose the parsons and the devil should have a law- suit, which party do you think would win?” “The devil, unquestionably,” replied the minister. “Ah!” chuckled the young lawyer, “and why?” “Because he would have all the lawyers on his side.” HOW IS IT? “How is it, sir, that I find you kissing my daughter? I repeat, sir. how is it?” “Fine, sir, fine!” replied the young man. He—“Why do you put the hair of another woman on your head?” She—“Why do you put the skin of another calf on your feet?” BORROWED .11 XGLES. A maid, a man, an open fan.

February 16th Campbell came to school with Frost in his arm. We usually speak of frost being a man named Jack, but this was a Miss Frost. Gross and Krieg were hotly discussing the merits of a book. Finally Krieg said, “No, Walter, you can’t appreciate it. You never wrote a book yourself.” “No,” retorted Gross, “and I never laid an egg, but I'm a better judge of an omelet than any hen in the city.” Losch—“Yes, my memory is getting very bad. By this time tomorrow I shall have forgotten everything I have done today.” Bootie—“I I’m! Could you oblige me with the loan of a liver, old chap?” Though five years old, she wept and cried. Her mother and aunties quite defied, “I won’t wear rompers, like Cousin Ned— I want real dresses!” she hotly said. “I want real dresses, like yours and aunt’s. I never can mother my doll in pants!” WASHED WHILE YOU WAIT. In one of the large hospitals of the city there is a waiting room where pa- tients sit until rooms or wards are assigned to them, and where visitors sit, wait- ing their turns to visit friends or relatives who are sick there. One day a boy stuck his head in the doorway and shouted, “Mr. Robertson!” Two men started up. One stepped forward cjuickly and followed the boy and the other dropped back into his seat. The boy led Max to a small room on the third door and he went in. Two doctors were there, surrounded by all sorts of terrifying apparatus. “Robertson ?” asked one of the doctors. “Yes, sir. “Come here and have your stomach washed out.” “But,” protested Max wildly. “1 don't want my stomach washed out.” “That’s what they all say.” retorted the doctor. “Grab him.” And they took Robertson, shoved him into a chair and in a twinkling had a stomachpump in him. After the operation the doctor looked sternly at the wilted and shiver- ing Max and said. “Dod gast you. You ate some breakfast this morning. I told you to eat nothing!” “Of course. 1 ate my breakfast,” said Max. “Why shouldn’t I eat my break- fast? I never saw you before.” “What are you in here for?” demanded the doctor. “Why.” gasped Max, “I came here to see a friend.” O’Keefe—“I had supposed until yesterday, Doctor Oppermann. that the days of the bleeding of patients were past.” Oppermann—“And so they are. But what changed your mind?” O’Keefe—“The bill you sent me.” In your sermon you spoke of a baby as a new’ wave on the ocean of life’.” “Quite so; a poetical figure.” “Don’t you think ‘a fresh squall’ would have hit the mark better?” A Scot wdiose name was Macintosh, and wdio was proud of the fact that he was directly descended from the chief of the clan, was having a dispute over the fare he owed to a taxi driver who had transported him to his home in the cast end.

Helen—“Hut my parents have endorsed another young man.” Jack—“All right; I’ll run as an insurgent.” “Please, mum, the new neighbors want to know if you’ll lend them the lawn- mower today?” “What!

A young lady and her fiance were waiting for a street car. After several cars had passed and they were unable to get aboard, the young man became impatient. He waved frantically at the next car as it hove in sight, then leaped upon the platform and said in a pleading voice: “Come on. Helen, we can manage to squeeze in here, can’t we?” She blushed faintly, but sweetly replied: “I suppose we can. dear, but don’t you think we'd better wait until we get home?” Mr. K.—“You don’t want to meet Mrs. Gaybird. you say.” Mrs. K.—“No, I pick my friends.” Mr. K.—“Well, she’s just the sort of woman you and your friends would like to pick—to pieces.” WHERE HE WAS VALUABLE. “Yes,” said the celebrated oculist, “he had some trouble with his eyes.

He always sees his country’s early doom; His goal of life is nothing but the tomb, fie always sees the big trusts raising hob. He always sees a grave financial smash. And sits around waiting for the crash. There is no good in anything at all. He hates the winter, summer, spring and fall. When others to gay picnics go. He sits at home and waits for it to snow. He’s always looking for the worst of it, And thinks that every man is a hypocrite. He always looks as cheerful as a crutch. And nothing in this world amounts to much.

The man that keeps good-natured. By fortune undismayed. Is the man that comes out winner When the final hand is played; There is e’en a certain triumph That compels respect complete In the way that a real sportsman Takes his dose of stern defeat. Live for something, have a purpose. And that purpose keep in view; Drifting like a helpless vessel. Thou canst ne’er to life he true. Half the wrecks that strew life’s ocean. If some start had been their guide. Might have long been riding safely. But they drifted with the tide. It is better to try and fail, than to fail to try. He who saves another’s character is greater than he who saves his life. Through struggle and effort we rise to our best, And only the weary appreciate rest. Blessed are they who have the power of making friends, for it is one of God’s greatest gifts. It involves many things, but above all. the power of goinjr out of oneself and seeing and appreciating whatever is noble and loving in others. If any little word of ours Can make one life the brighter. If any little song of ours Can make one heart the lighter; God help us speak that little word. And take our bit of singing And drop it in some lonely vale. And set the echoes ringing. Thou must thyself be true, if thou the truth wouldst teach. Drop the subject when you don’t agree; there is no need to be bitter because you know that you are right. It's the songs ye sing And the smiles yc wear That’s a-makin’ the sun Shine everywhere. No one would discover that you had a temper if you did not exhibit it occasionally. The greatest of faults is to he conscious of none. If you have a thousand friends. You have not a friend to spare; I f you have an enemyv You meet him everywhere. In men whom men condemn as ill, I find so much of goodness still; In men whom men pronounce divine, I find so much of sin and blot. I hesitate to draw the line Between the two, when God has not. Do not look for had or evil. You will find it if you do; As you measure to your neighbor He will measure up to you. Everybody finds out. sooner or later, that success worth having is founded on Christian rules of conduct. AT THE STEW CHUB.

What did it cost you?” Adam—“Six months. 1 never wear any cheap duds.” WHO KNOWS? “Now children.” said Miss H—. “I wish you to remember that the time to ask questions in my class is whenever anything is said which you need ex- plained. Do not wait until the time comes for recitation and then complain that you ‘did not hear or did not understand when I talked.' ” “Yes’m,” chorused the scholars. “Very well.” said Miss II we will begin today with James I, who came after Elizabeth.” Gladys raises her hand. “What is it?” asked Miss II Gladys—“What made him come after her?” How’s your wife now?” “Oh, she’s all right, I guess.' “She’s got you guessing, eh?” I sat before a great artist today for my picture.” “What did he say?” “Wanted to know what color I wanted my nose painted.” “How much milk does your cow give a day?” “About eight quarts, lady.” “And how much do you sell?” About twelve quarts.” Ma Greenum (traveling in X. Y.)—“Ezrie, what’s that awful noise?” Pa Greenum— I ain’t sure, Mirandy, but maybe it’s that there Long Island Sound.” Conjurer—“My assistant will now guess without any assistance how many hairs any gentleman present has on his head.” Shock-headed member of the audience— How many are there in mine?” Assistant— Two million four hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred and twenty-four.” Conjurer—“The gentleman may count his hairs if he likes, when he will see that the number is exact.” YOUNG HERO. “Well, Lynd, are you very good to your little sister?” asked “Sure,” replied Lynd. “1 even eat her candy, ’cause it sick.” Gert rude, always makes her “Your name?” asked the teacher, registering a new pupil. “Arthur.” “And what’s your first name?” Brown.” “Oh, haven’t you got them wrong. I think Arthur must be your first name and Brown your family name. Isn’t that right?” But the small boy was not persuaded. A day or two later he announced: “Teacher, mother says Brown is my first name. She says I got that name when I was born and she didn’t name me Arthur till three months later.” English Countess (admiringly)—“Your gown is just ripping, my dear.” American Duchess (in alarm)—“Oh, where?” “Nature plans well for mankind’s needs.” ”1 should say so. What could he more convenient than ears to hook spec- tacles over?” TOO MUCH. “Do you think Miss Kidder was having fun with me?” asked Charley. “Well, old chap, give me the details,” was Arthur’s reply. “You see, I had my bull terrier with me and I said to her. ‘That dog knows as much as I do, and she said, ‘Don’t you think four dollars and a half was too much to pay for him?’” Merrill, the photographer, to young man—“It will make a much better pic- ture if you put your hand on your father’s shoulder.” Father—“Huh! It would be much more natural if his hand was in my pocket. THE PROPER TERM. Little Chicagoan “You’re bughouse.” Little Bostonian—“Such terrible, deplorable vulgarity! You should say. ‘Insect garage.’ ” Martha—“And would you really put yourself out for my sake?” Franklin—“Indeed. I would.v Martha—“Well, then I’ll have to ask you to do it. It’s awfully late.” Ardath—“Meta suffers a great deal for her beliefs.” Nellie—“Indeed, what is her belief?” Ardath—“She firmly believes that she can wear a number six shoe on a number six foot.” , “Say. Tom.” said Jack, “did you know that Bill was going to sue the com- pany for damages?” “No. you don’t say!” was the answer. “Vot did they do to im?” “Why.” explained Jack, “they blew the cpiittin’ whistle when ’e was carrying a ’eavy piece of iron, and e dropped it on ’is foot.” A lecture! A lecture! You will conjecture. But let every fool Know about this school. Why are our Seniors so unpatriotic? For instance, our Ruth with cases spasmodic. And often at the pump at noon, do we see Charles I. Myers anxiously waiting for Marie. And Elsa Harris will not deign to go With one of our Seniors. I know it is so. But in the light of the moon She strolls with Dick Klinen. Now girls take heed And do not an Arthur 11 illite lead. A CHANGE. Before I wed that gal of mine. There used to he a dandy sign Upon the doormat at her home, When thitherward I’d fondly roam. It always stared me in the face Whenever I called at her place; Yes, in the days before we wed The sign upon the doormat read. “Welcome!” But things are different nowadays. They’re different in many ways. We’re married, and when I roam With weary legs into my home. Another motto greets my eyes. But causes me no great surprise; Another doormat is in place. And this now stares me in the face. “Wipe your feet!” A DIFFERENCE. “So the hank teller has disappeared. Was he short in his cash?” “No; he was ahead. It was the hank that was short.” Mr. C. “What kind of an animal learns the quickest?” 1 .osch—“A fishhound.” A SAD AFFAIR. Bill French, a country storekeeper, went to the city to buy goods. They vcre sent immediately and reached home before he did. When the boxes were delivered, Mrs. French, who was keeping the store, uttered a scream, siezed a hatchet and began frantically to open the largest one. “What’s the matter, Frances?” said one of the bystanders who had watched her in amazement. Pale and faint. Mrs. French pointed to an inscription on the box. It read, Bill Inside.” FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSF.l.F. Walkling—“Why are we so late? Guard—“Well, sir, the train in front was behind, and this train was behind before besides. WELL SUPPLIKD. Shannon (angrily)—“If you attempt to pull my ears, you’ll have your hands full. Popp—-“Well, yes; I rather think I shall.” looking at Shannon’s ears. Professor— By trigonometry, it is possible to tell how much water runs over Niagara halls to the quart.” Student—“I low much?” Professor—“Two pints.” Literary Aspirant—“I can write about anything. Tired Publisher—“Then right about face.” AFTERWORD “Faugh, and the world laughs with you; Frown, and you go alone.” For the world admires a booster. While the grumbler it lets alone. So here in this column of humor We’ve published for your delight Some jokes on yourself and on others I loping you’d take them right. So. if we have happened to touch And ruffled your feelings a mite, Remember you laughed at the others;— Don’t get up your dander and fight. E. J. K. T4. v� CONCLUSION And now you have finished reading our offering. It is for you to judge whether it is a failure or a success. We do not claim it to he the best ever; there have been “Auroras” published which, in some depart- ments, could not be improved or bettered. We have added a few new features, such as new cuts and illustrations, which we hope may meet with your approval. The different departments have been consigned to what we thought to be the best talent in the class; we may have made mistakes in judging this best talent,—that is for you to decide. We cannot all be geniuses; all write-ups in this book cannot be masterpieces. You possibly have seen better cartoons, read better poems and stories; possibly you have seen similar departments handled in better style, but we are giving you the best that is in us now. As its name implies, the “Al RORA” marks the dawn of our life. When we leave this institu- tion (the Saginaw East Side High School) the majority of us will have to earn our own livings immediately. Some, even, may have dependents to support; thus you see this is only the beginning of many careers, not the climax; and what we submit for your decision is not necessarily the best we shail ever produce. Therefore, we ask you not to judge this issue too harshly. After twelve years of training, it is true, we should be able to turn out something worth while, but for almost all of us this is the first plunge into the editing field. We are handling the situation as we deem it best and we confidently expect that the result of our com bined efforts will meet with your hearty and unqualified approval. THE EDITORS. TO OUR READERS.
