JOHN LOFTY, Principal what thr ihigh Svrhnnl lla Ening. The work of the High School is done at the present time in six depart- ments-Languages, Mathematics, Science, History and Economics, Commer- cial Branches, and Manual Training. It is the purpose of this article to give a brief hint or two of the value of each. Languages --In the department of languages the ancient languages are represented by Latin and the modern languages by English and German. The study of Latin gives the pupil a training in careful, accurate and painstak- ing work which he finds nowhere else, and which is so essential to prevent him from forming loose-jointed habits of thought and expression. Moreover, the youth finds in the study of Latin the very best kind of English training, for at every step of the way in the preparation or recitation of a lesson he is called upon to exercise nice distinction in the choice of words, to build good English sentences, and to search out the best English idioms. Incidentally, the student is getting a knowledge ol universal grammar and an introduction to the literature and the life of a glorious ancient civilizition, and, at the same time, is developing a language sense which is indispensable to one who aspires to become a scholar. The study of German affords more of the same sort of training found in the study of Latin, and, in addition, the student gets an acquaintance with one of the three greatest modern literatures and languages, and every mature student understands how indispensable a reading knowledge of German is to anyone who attempts to go very far in any special field of study. Passing next to the subject of English-all are agreed that English is the most important as well as the most practical subject taught in the high school. To learn to express one's ideas orally or in writing with a fair degree of ease, accuracy and elegance is universally desired among intelligent people. Along with this attainment comes a relish for the fine things of our literature. The study of rhetorical theory, frequent practice in the art of composition, and a critical and appreciative examination of selected classics, all contribute to this result. It has already been indicated how a study of foreign languages may help us in acquiring the power to use effectively our mother tongue. Mathematics-If there were no other reason than the necessity of algebra and geometry in the study of the physical sciences--physics, chemistry and astronomy-the place of mathematics in the high school program would be amply justified, but there are other weighty reasons. In no other subject ex- cept the foreign languages, can the student be held so rigorously to his work, and this is the most valuable experience the youth gets in the high school. There is here no opportunity to draw on one's general fund of knowledge or to offer an approximation to the truth, but the student must think and reason his way to an unquestioned conclusion. There is, too, a practical value in algebra and geometry. They illuminate arithmetic for all, and are useful in every sort of craft where measurements are to be made, and to those boys who are to take up engineering courses they are absolutely necessary. History and Economics-It is impossible to understand clearly the pres- ent-day civilization without looking back into history and tracing its develop- ment from the beginning. To study history is to enrich our life with the expe- riences of all mankind through all the centuries. The study of history makes for the highest citizenship by acquainting us with the forms and functions of government and bringing us under the inspirational influence of the highest ideals. Nowhere is it so essential as in a free country like ours, where each individual has the opportunity to be a sovereign. The subjects of history are subjects of universal concern, and ignorance in this field always stamps one as illiterate. As for the other subject in this department, Economics, in these days of gigantic industrial enterprises and consequent new governmental and economic problems, its importance is growing rapidly. It is imperative that our high school graduates, who are to constitute the largest part of the intelli- gent class of our people, should understand the laws of the production and distribution of wealth. Commercial Branches-The branches offered are Commercial Arithmetic Bookkeeping, Commercial Law, and Commercial Geography. These branches have a minimum of cultural value, and are offered chiefly for the accommoda- tion of those who feel the need of making their high school course count as much as possible toward preparation for earning a livelihood in the counting room. Manual Training-This is a new subject that has quickly come into favor in all the best schools. Psyschology has taught educators that the use of the hands has an educative value, and it is now thought that all students should be required to do some manual training work, although it is of special value to the boy or girl of the non-literary type, a few of which there are in every high school. Science-The sciences are finding a larger place on our school programs than formerly, and with their rapid growth and increased importance they well deserve it. Man is in the midst of a physical environment, organic and inorganic, with which his exsitence is intimately related. The study of the physical sciences-Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy and Physiography-on the one side, and the biological sciences-Botany, Zoology and Physiology-on the other, leads him to appreciate the significance of that environment and discover his relation to it. He becomes aware in a very real sense that the physical world, including himself, is God's creation, and it is all very wonderful, indeed. Such an investigation of the natural world gives man a grip on the forces of nature which he turns to practical uses and at the same time goes far toward giving him a sane and sound philosophy of life. It will be seen that a graduate of our high school has made excursions into all the realms of knowledge, and has acquired the fundamental principles of each. The high school has opened up to him the whole realm of scholar- ship, and, if it has done its best for him, has placed his intellectual life on a sound basis and sent him out into the world a prince among men. JOHN LOFTY, Principal. Uhr Enarh nf Ehuratinn. When the class of '07 graduated from the grade schools they were pre- sented with their diplomas by Mr. Wilson, as president of the school board. The board at this time was composed of Messrs. Wilson, Cravens, Bulk- ley, Hull, McAdams, Kimball, Arnold and Metzger. Mr. Kimball had re- cently been appointed to occupy a vacancy caused by Mr. Daum's resignation. During the following year, 1904, there were no changes in the member- ship of the board, but in 1905 Mr. Swanson was elected to Mr. Metzger's place. In 1906 Mr. Martin succeeded to Mr. Arnold's position, and Mr. Van Trine was appointed to Hll a vacancy caused by the removal of Mr. McAdams from the Second ward to the Third ward. At the expiration of his term, in 1906, Mr. Wilson retired, having served as a member and president of the board for ten consecutive years. I-Ie was succeeded by Dr. Neptune. The election in 1907 resulted in only one change, Mr. Smith being elected to the place previously occupied by Mr. Martin. Mr. Cravens was elected to the presidency of the board upon the with- drawal of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Cravens is agraduate of the law department of the University of Missouri, and has served on the board for nine years. Mr. Kimball is a graduate of the high school at Quincy, Illinois, and has been an active worker on the school board during his term of four years. Mr. Wilson was a member of the class of '82 at Ann Arbor Law School, and was first elected to the board in 1896. Dr. Neptune attended the McPherson high school and the Dunkard Col- lege, also situated at that place. He took up the study of medicine, attending the Starling Medical College, but completing his course at the Kansas City Medical College. Mr. Bulklcy attended the Agricultural College at Manhattan, but did not finish his course there. He has served on the board for the past four years. Mr. Walter Cravens was appointed clerk of the board in May, 1903, and still retains that position. During the period extending from 1903 to 1907 many improvements have been effected in the Salina school system, among which manual training may be mentioned. In 1904 a new building, the Phillips school, was completed, and two years later the new South Park school was opened, the building which formerly occupied the same site having burned the year previous.

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING. igintnrg nf thv Salina igigh Sirhnnl. The high school is an institution that raises the educational standard of a town several degrees. It puts this opportunity within the reach of many in their home town who would never enter a high school if they should have to go to another place to do so. In I878 the people of Salina decided that this town needed such a school, and founded the Salina High School. The first graduating classes were small, but as the town grew they increased in size, the Hrst, the class of '78, number- ing but two, while our class of '07 numbers forty-two, the largest yet in the history of the school. In the early years the home of the Salina High School was the third floor of the Central school building, at that time new. Later it was removed to rented apartments on the second floor of the Red Men's building. The num- ber of students was steadily growing too large for the crowded class rooms, The citizens, many of whom had children in the high school, saw that a new building must be furnished for this thriving institution. In IQOO the high school moved into its own home, a new brick building, which at this time appeared large and roomy to the admiring eyes of the Salina people. The second floor is occupied by the assembly room, one reci- tation room, a cloak room and a hall. On the first floor are the office, three recitation rooms and hall. The manual training shop and laboratory com- bined are in the basement. 2 There are several faults in the plan and size of this building. In the first place, the plastering used evidently was not the good old-fashioned kind. It came loose and hung in festoons in the assembly room. Whenever some emi- nent professor or speaker visited our school and, during chapel exercises, be- gan his speech with, I am sure it's a great pleasure to look into your bright and happy faces this morning, he was often interrupted by a huge patch of plastering crashing to the floor. And while he lectured on our opportunities some poor, unfortunate freshie was busy shaking the sand and plastering out of her pompadour. To remedy this shortcoming the troublesome plaster- ing was scraped off, and a handsome white steel ceiling now adorns the room. The cloak room accommodations, too, are inadequate. There is one coat hook for about every three persons in some of the halls, so that the rule ap- plied here is 'tfirst come, first served. This is partly atoned for by the recent purchase of two mirrors for the girls' use, and, although the reflections on the wavy surface rival the pictures on the funny page in the Sunday paper, yet a bevy of vain girls can be seen in front of these mirrors morning, noon or night. ln spite of these little inconveniences, we think it possible to acquire much learning in the Salina High School, and we're sure that with the pros- pect of a larger home for the high school that the future outlook is radiant.

It happened that in the house of an Egyptian sorcerer, far off in the years of the pyramids, a strange thing took place on the face of one of his be- witched mirrors. One day the priestess of the Nile fled from the hall of the entranced mirrors in dismay at the spectacle one of the glasses depicted. On returning to his palace to examine the phenomenon, the magician stood amazed to see the usually dreamy, langorous aspect of the Nile changed to a churning mass of sea foam as it flowed under the window of the hall of the enchanted mirrors. Rightly he attributed the disturbance to the queer pic- tures reflected on the glistening surface of the glass above. The reflections were altogether novel and unheard of. People of an age yet centuries off were acting in the role of instructors in one of the higher schools of a town, the not unmusical name of which the mirror gave as Salina, in a world and place undreamed of. The magician, seizing the chance to make his name for- ever great, wrote out an account of the images reflected, and, to keep it last- ingly intact, he Wrapt it in the velvet draperies of a charmed blanket and packed it in the soft, smothered perfume of the winds of Arabia. He then commanded this bundle to present itself to certain ones of the class over which the pictured teachers were to rule when the required number of ages had passed away. The following is a translation of the ancient manuscript: I, Ramses, the soothsayer of the east, in the third hour of the morning, noted the beginning of an extraordinary series of wonders. Gazing on the polished surface of my mirror, I distinctly saw heap upon heap of what ap- peared to be history outlines. Their author, according to the admiring testi- monials carelessly scattered about, is destined to be one of the future great and original historians. Barely had I begun to reason thus, when the histo- rian himself came in sight, thoughtfully clasping his hands behind him. Oth- erwise his appearance was far from that of a genius. Instead of the burning fire of madness, he possessed such a mild expression that I secretly doubted his powers until a voice whispered in my ear that his looks resembled those of Hawthorne. Now, as I knew Hawthorne was one of the geniuses to be, I no longer had any misgivings. While Iwas vainly trying to decipher the name on the outlines, they quietly rose from their places and disclosed the name 'Crissmanf t f'When, lo! I beheld in the midst of a huge laboratory, fllled with 'ivory flasks of mercury and methylated spirits, a silent and thoughtful man bending over a jar of contending gases. But I looked again-the scene had changed! and the once thoughtful man was now in a school room prancing about in uncontrolled delight at the puzzled looks of the pupils or devouring in undisguised admiration the 'catch' questions which his profound sagacity and ingenuity had compiled for the 'deliciousf entanglement of the students. While I was intently regarding the conduct of this man there was emblazoned on the mirror in letters of flre the name Abdul Hammed, which is, translated in the language to come, 'Lofty.' A confused swirl, as of silken robes, and there evolved from the spirals of smoke a woman, tall, and with long tapering fingers-one whom I, the Egyptian sorcerer, judged to be a lute player in the temples of Greece. But she, quite contrary to our sacred customs, began to explain in an inspired way the science of geometry, and before her enthusiasm had begun to waver the boards about her were covered with a bewildering jumble of damp finger marks, chalk scratches and various other signs of unwearied zeal and energy. A rush, and she was gone, but gracefully dancing in the trail of dust and smoke were the betraying letters 'M-o-0-r-e.' So long did the surface of the mirror remain unsullied that I thought the commotion must have ceased. when quietly and unassumingly a conservative- looking man entered and commenced a learned discourse on the politics of the worlds to come. But suddenly to my amazed hearing the queer and as yet unheard of word, fquizz,' went off in such a series of jerks that it seemed as if the surface of the glass must have been broken by the electrified charge of the word. At the same time a rare smile troubled the face of the waters, and in that smile was hidden the word 'Warrenf A clang! a click! and from the glass there shot a thousand rays of light as a thousand jeweled pencils fell on the top of an important looking desk. And from the midst of this brilliancy of diamonds, sapphires and rubies there appeared a small lady with her bright eyes fastened on the costly treasures. Hastily she swooped the pencils out of sight, and, taking a determined stand in front of the desk, thus she spoke to a room full of gaping students: 'Whosoever proves his ownership may have his pencil by calling at the desk, but plain identification is absolutely essentialf In the glare of those tiashing orbs, however, no one ventures. Satisfied with these results, she calmly pro- ceeded to lecture on the value of studying Virgil fa poet unknown to mei, more especially on account of the many helpful maxims it affords. So long did she linger on the phrase, 'ne credite fpaucoj equo, Teucri,' that the jewels in sympathy gleamed forth these admonishing words, and as she gathered them up to depart, the letters 'M-i-l-e-s' shone in their multi-colored beams. The next scene was so sticky in its character that it could scarcely be made out. First, a line of impish-looking lads marched in single Hle to a huge pot of paste and eagerly began to poke their Fingers into the contents. Soon the glass was a daub of paste, and through its murkiness I was barely able to see a man and to faintly distinguish the words 'May I awsk you boys to re- move your fingers from that pot?' Then, to my consternation, two of those paste daubers snatched up as many pieces of cardboard, and, gluing them to the glass left me to view the ruination of my mirror and the peculiar word 'Amyxf But presently I saw that particles of the glue were fiying from the surface, and by the time a sufficient amount had been removed I could dis- cern the same man by some ingenious device of electrical attraction fanother physical fact as yet unknown to humanityj persuading the glue to fall away by degrees. A low murmur now seemed to come from afar off. But nearer and nearer and louder and louder it grew till from its confused sounds I could, here and there, detect hastily spoken words. And these words were extolling the vir- tues of a certain Lady Macbeth. The argument beeame so fierce that the glass trembled, and had it not been for the heat of the contention, which caused the glass to become supple and to bend, the reiiector would have been mercilessly broken by the Herce combat. just then a breeze from the Nile, sweeping over the glass, blended the disordered noises into the one gutteral note 'Gemmill,' and, though I watched for other signs of agitation, they came no more, and the Nile resumed its peaceful, sleepy motion.

In September, 1903, ninety-two raw-looking pupils entered the Salina High School as Freshmen. They were rather green at first, but they soon learned the meaning of such words as Civics class. In the fall of IQ04 their number diminished to seventy-nine, but it was noticed that there were some fine qualities behind the greenness they displayed as Freshies. As juniors, with but forty-eight members, their abilities were brought more into notice, till, at last, this class became the brilliant Senior class of '07, with forty graduates. This is nearly twice as many members as the Senior classes heretofore have had, and twenty times as many as the first graduating class, in 1878, contained. Not only do we excel in numbers, but also in the quality of our work. Our records for the past four years have been exceptionally good. But few of the Seniors were among those not excused from the final examinations last term, showing that a great majority received an average of ninety or above in each study and also in deportment. Last year some of the members of our class wrote an original play for the Eighth Grade graduating class It was a great success, and showed much originality. The play, Midsummer Night's Dream, which we gave on the tirst day of February, was highly creditable as a portrayal of the theatrical ability of our members. We have endeavored to entertain the school for a few minutes on holidays as far as we could. On Christmas of 1905 we secured the offices of old Santa for the amusement of the school, and this year we had a large Christmas tree. During our Freshmen year five pictures, three ink sketches and two water colors, the work of certain members of our class, were presented by them to the school. 'Ihey were hung in a corner of the assembly hall with the old rose and cream pennant. Superintendent Crissman took us out to visit the chief commercial estab- lishment of the town last spring in hay racks. The affair was very profitable and enjoyable to all. During our four years in High School we have considered some of our tasks very arduous, but we now see the necessity for this, and we appreciate the considerations shown us by the Faculty. The acquaintances which we have made have been most pleasant, and it is with regret that we say good-bye.

Again the great Ferris wheelof education has completed a revolution and stopped to let the passengers dismount. And as we view the lowest car, from a position half way down the return slope, we notice that the late occupants, who will soon be dissolved in the throngs, form a very sage looking group, and a more thorough examination shows that they are the same individuals who cast all kinds of green epithets at us when we first entered the educa- tional wheel. Though several years spent in acquiring Lofty ideas and learn- ing Moore about the joys of knowledge has tamed them considerably, yet, if they increase and apply their knowledge as diligently as they have acquired it during the past four years, we shall have no reason to be ashamed that they were our predecessors. And, though it is not the purpose of this high school to confer degrees, the present senior class contains an A. B., which probably cannot be said of another class of High School Seniors in Kansas. When we gaze more intently at this crowd and see the smile of the learned on their faces, as they look back over the journey they have com- pleted, and, doubtless, each one thinking how he would like to remedy some blunder he has made, an idea begins to creep through our imagination. And we wonder, though we know it should not and hope it cannot be, if we might not, by the aid of a field glass, detect in some countenance a sign of that dis- ease sometimes known among students as t'SufHciency of the Brain. While we are watching them mingle with the throng, and are wondering if they will not leave us a parting word or some advice, so that we might profit by their experience, we hear something which sounds like the strong melodi- ous voice of their leader saying: J Art is a great power, and many laurels are to be won at her door, but our hint to you is, not to get too fresh with it, for you might have trouble with the bulletin board. Take heed to yourselves, also, that you do not hold up the wholesale houses to such an extent that you break down, by your plunder, the time-hon- ored ancestors of Salina's present street carfsj. A Also, when your car may be rocked almost to an horizontal position by a gale of financial difficulties do not blame the conductor of the wheel and tell him all about how he knew that breeze was coming and managed to have you in the air just at that time, etc. But, above all other things, we desire to warn you against remaining indoors on warm spring days, during the noon intermission, when your com- panions are calling you, when the shouts from the campus are calling you, when the sunshine is calling you, when the wind in the Cottonwood leaves is calling you, when your better sense is calling you, and, in fact, everything else is calling you except the girls and Cicero. It will do you good to come out on the field and show your prowess in athletics, as much renown may be await- ing you here. For what can you name that people adore more than a good athlete? Thus we part with those Who, for three years, have been leading us in the straight and narrow path. , ERRETT SMITH, Class of '08, 'SSV'ID HOINIH C3 j 5 ' r.

Roaming over the world, invisible, but ever watchful over the intellectual interests of the world, are the spirits of learning. In the course of his wan- derings one of these spirits chanced to come to Salina First, he visited the colleges, but he soon lost interest, and turned ncxt to the High School, where he was so much interested that he decided to cease wandering for a time and watch over its destiny. He then concluded to choose whichever class that pleased him most and watch over its course as his special charge. He first turned to the Seniors, and was filled with admiration by their splendid athletes. On turning to the juniors, his admiration was again awakened by the energy and ability which they had displayed throughout their High School career. He next surveyed the Freshmen, and was astonished by the sense of propriety which character- ized all their actions and is so seldom found in those so young. Finally, the spirit decided in favor of the Sophomores. He now looked up the record of the class he had chosen. This is what he discovered: The Sophomores had entered the High School in 1905. They were not long in entering into the High School spirit, and during this year their class took second place in the field meet. This was unexpected, not only by the Sophomores themselves, but by the other classes, for the representa- tives of the class were, of course, less experienced than the others in the con- test. The juniors of 1905 had distinguished themselves by taking fourth place in this meet. The Sophomore badge was a pennant, and the Freshman class of 1906, with great originality, adopted the pennant as their badge, also. This was excusable, howevereein Freshmen-as they evidently had not perceived that imitation is the highest form of Battery. Using his power of looking into the future, the spirit next surveyed the future of the class. He saw few changes in it during the junior year, but was surprised at the changes he discovered in the Senior year, 1909. The most remarkable thing he observed was that Sven Carlberg was at the head of the class. There was, however, another surprising change, for, on seeing an un- usually tall boy and looking closer, the spirit saw that that boy was Claude Frain. The class had lost some members, for several of them, more ambitious and enterprising than the rest, had made up a year's work and graduated the year before. This loss was fully recompensed by the addition of several very valuable members who had remained in High School longer than necessary to enjoy the new High School building, which had just been erected. Up to this time the class had lacked both poets and artists. This want was supplied, for Will Fcrm was the class poet. It had always been known that he was of a poetic disposition, but no one had expected that this disposition would take any such decided outlet. Irene Vallette had developed a very remarkable and unlooked-for talent in drawing, the outcome of a naturally artistic tem- pcrament.

This wonderful class your attention demands, Class of 1910. Our year's work is over, and we are in clover, No wonder we laugh and are gay, Of fun we have none till our day's work is done, Now there's time for play. CHORUS. Class of 19109 Class of 1910g The world is amazed at the things we can dog We're the bravest of brave and the truest of true, We do great things now, we'll do wonders when In four years from now, as Seniors, we'll bowg Class of 1910. The classes before us declare they adore us, They love us so, While others below us great deference show us, We're wise, they know. Our foes cannot face us, we win all the races, You've heard it again and againg Our record is fine, we were all born to shine, Class of 1910. Now 'tis time for good-byes, but no tears dim our eyes For we'll meet again, And then we'll be older and braver and bolder In 1910. We see you admire us, and know you desire us To extend invitations to all For the great future date, when we'll all graduate In Convention Hall. '1IJ. The year 1906 was made memorable by the advent into the High School of our illustrious class. The teachers and pupils soon saw that we were not made of the same kind of material as that of other Freshmen who had fre- quented these halls, and the usual good natured jokes regularly played on unoffending Freshmen were not practiced on us. We began our journey along the flowery path of knowledge in 1898, and made rapid progress until we joyfully reached our present standing in the High School. We are still striving onward and upward, to the comfort and solace of our teachers. Upon entering the third grade it was discovered by the teachers that this class was to be the most phenomenal one that ever climbed the ladder of learning. They were not disappointed in us, for, through all the grades, our class has made a most unusual record. We entered the eighth grade- And still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all we knew. The program rendered by this class on their graduation day was spoken of by everyone who attended as the best ever given by any eighth grade class in Salina. When we entered High School we were so greatly admired that a number of Sophomores, sub-juniors and even some Seniors stepped back to make the journey with us. The old adage, Ye are green wood, see that ye warp not, does not apply to the class of 1910, since our grade teachers saw that we were well warped before we entered High School. fSignedj FRESHMAN CLASS. .iq igg Q FRESHMAN CLASS.

Just as the sunfiower at morn, bathed in the sweet dew of night-time, Greets her young sun-god's first beams, and through his journey pursues him And as his fierce shafts at noon beat down her bright head, yet crush not, Till, when his shadows grow long, bravely her sweet face she raises, Watches him sink in the westg then waits the dawn of a new day. So, with our classmates, we turn. fresh from the dew of our childhood, Greet our new school-day with joy, watching with hope our ambition, Till, when our courage grows weak, bend with the burden, yet faint not. Then, as the finis draws near, look we with joy o'er our past years, Almost regretting we now must face the dawn of a new day. We would not tell of our trials, lest some weak Sophomore feel weary, Nor would we sing of our joy, lest silly Freshmen grow giddyg But elder-brotherly style, say we, do some things as we did, Take the best things from our page, leaving, in all things, the bad ones. We are crammed full of advice, as well as classical learning, ' If you'd just give us the chance, we could well run this great nationg Do it better, no doubt, by far, than Teddy and all of his cabinet. With our statesmen at the helm, and our fair girls as the pilots, Safely our great Ship of State we'd steer o'er bellowing billowsg While in the deep-tangled woods our athletes bring down the wild bears. We would not tell of our woes, lest some listening Sophomore falter, Nor would we sing of our joys, lest Freshmen in hearing grow giddy, But we would say to you all I Juniors, take heed of your eldersb, Work till your backbones are bent, and your fingers are worn on their framework Toil till your thoughts grow in size, and your horizon takes in vast acres, Then will your reason be bright, sharp as a two-edged sabre, Then can you write with great ease sonnets as brilliant as this one. Cjb Thus will you reap a reward greater than Carnegie's riches, And can you say, with us all, we are the flowers of our nation, Wreathing its crown with a wealth greater than diamonds and rubies. Brave as we are, yet we halt, peering out into the future The Opportunity whale now we perceive in the distance. Sadly we say our farewells to teachers and schoolmates and classrooms, Then, shutting our eyes, give a leap to land, as we hope, on good footing. On passing good terms with the world, and hand in hand with fair Fortuneg But if you hear of great things coming from our worthy line-up, Know that our day- dreams were born in the tight walls of the schoolroom, And those who seemed to be fools were only thinking of Congress. So slumbering genius awakes, and oft surprises its neighbors, Without a jar to itself or a thought of its soul-quickened labors. NELLIE ELROD 07 A Cthuvnr Svtnrg. The house was not a romantic looking one in the least. A fresh coat of paint and some recent remodeling had given it a practical, modern appear- ance, hopelessly unfit for ghost legends. And yet a vague rumor had reported the house haunted in quite an unusual way, and I, my curiosity aroused, determined to rent it for the summer. The owner of the house lived on a small stream about fifty rods back from the place to be rented. I-Iis keen, expressive face interested me not a little, and when I inquired concerning the leasing of the dwelling he seemed so intensely eager to rid himself of it that I began to seriously think the house might be haunted, after all. But when I cleverly hinted about a certain spirit that frequented castles on the Rhine, and to relate all manner of ghost stories, his singularly responsive face wore such an expression of innocent interest that I thought I must surely have been mistaken. I had been in the house for a week with no signs of night apparitions, and was preparing to spend a quiet, commonplace summer when, one night about ten o'clock, the faint echoes of some far away melody seemed to rise from the depths of somewhere in the kitchen. My chamber was directly above that room, and the back stairs communicated with the kitchen. The distant sounds continued for some fifteen minutes, then ceased, and were heard no more till the next evening. This time they were clear, piercing, with a sort of wild sweetness about them. The music was unmistakably that of a violin, and so close did it seem that a foreboding fear came over me. The joyous ecstacy, the fanciful clearness, the nameless longing, the dreamy melancholy so affected me that in the shadow I could almost see thedark, fiery eyes of a gypsy girl as she wantonly sang of her life of freedom. Frantically, I hid my face, and the music died away as inexplicably as it had come. Several weeks passed in this way. Every evening the strains of some beautiful harmony would rise from the depths of a mysterious somewhere to sing me to sleep. The wild delirium of that second night was never repeated. The music was as passionate, sorrowful, reminiscent, or even as exultant, but the insanity was gone. S0 used had I become to this queer occurrence that I eagerly waited for the evenings, with their music, and in the enjoyment of it forgot to search out the explanation. One quiet evening the music seemed to beckon me, and, drawn by some irresistible impulse, I sought to follow the sound. It lead me to a trap door in the kitchen floor, opening into a hole some five feet deep, that was used as a place to store away some useless articles. The sounds now proceeded from the very sides of the cavity. I procured a lantern and searched the place. On one side some dirt fell away, and I perceived a strip of wood had been uncovered. Hastilyl scraped away the dirt, and to my inquisit gaze there was revealed a door, in the lock of which there was a key with the appearance of having been used recently. I hesitated a moment, but the music called so luringly that I jerked the door open and, thrusting my lantern into the space, beheld atunnel that seemed to extend some distance. By this time I had become too deeply interested in this odd discovery to turn back, so I boldly held my lantern aloft and groped on until I came to another door that in- stantly opened, and in so opening made a loud noise. Pausing, I heard the scamper of feet and the splash of water. The moon- light which streamed into the cavern which I had entered was so strong as to render mv lantern useless. The place was one of weird and wondrous beauty. Through one of the entrances to the cave a huge yellow moon, partially hid- den by the dark foliage, seemed to preside over the fairy scene. Through another entrance some of the water from the creek was Howing so as to form a miniature lake in the center. The wavering shadows and the stillness were so fascinating that I stood spellbound till a voice marvellously sweet and clear broke the spell with a joyous song. Hastening in the direction of the sound, I saw a white-haired man and a young girl seated on a rock near one of the openings. She was singing with the happy abandon of youth, while the old man accompanied her on the lute in the softer parts of the song. Abruptly I presented myself to them, and in surprise I saw that the face of the man with the lute was the face of the man from whom I had rented the newly painted house. With a look of understanding, he took in my question- ing glance and said: You have found my place of retreat. It matters not now, but listen, and I will explain the queer things you no doubt have seen- but only under one condition. That condition is that you seek no acquaint- ance with me, but avoid me and leave me to myself. I-Ie spoke with such firmness and earnestness that I made the promise, and have since kept it, for the next day he left with his daughter, telling no one where he intended to go. And this is his strange story: In my youth I was gifted with a soul for music. I commenced a concert tour, and was so successful that I became very ambitious. A short time after, I married a beautiful Venetian girl. I loved her passionately, but I loved fame even more passionately. My reputation as a violinist became world- wide, and still my ambition knew no bounds. I was idolized, petted and adored, and Iigloried selfishly in my superiority until one morning-oh, how it pains me even to think of it-I received the news that my wife had died while I was receiving the homage of an admiring public. Then it was that I recognized my inferiority, that I became supremely disgusted with myself and my servile ambition. I still carried on my con- certs, but my discontent became so unbearable that finally I gave out a false report concerning my death, and. with my two-year old daughter, sought this place of seclusion. At this point I muttered an exclamation of surprise, and asked him whether he was the great M- I am, or was, he answered in an absent-minded way, but I will never again appear in public, as I have no heart to do so. As it is, I am content, while otherwise, the same old feeling of restlessness would embitter and harden me. With that, he arose to go, but added, in a kindly voice, You are young, and Filled with the usual amount of tales of adventure. so, of course, you would like to know why that tunnel happened to be there. This house is very old, having been built during the old Italian feuds between the Colonnas and the Orsini, so the tunnel must have been built for some purposes of escape in war. When I bought the house I remodeled it with the purpose of giving it that unromantic appearance least likely to attract attention. That is the explana- tion of what has mystified you so. Remember my story, and beware of ambition and discontent. This tale was one of many related to an American traveler who had won the confidence and friendship of a great Italian singer. That singer was admired in much the same way as the--'old man had been admired, and the same discontent was now harrassingzhim. But the seclusion of the older man, romantic though it was, failing to appeal to him, he, as he philosophically puts it, finds content in promiscuously circulating that strange story of dis- content. RUTH SWISHER. A Snnnrt. Just a sonnet to our High School The best that we can write, Under just this same condition- Too many lines to have it right. Never mind, we all know better, And think our greatest foe, Even, will surely acknowledge We need one on which to grow. Now soon we will be parted, Far and wide our paths will stray, And our teachers' ceaseless efforts We wish to thank today. Understanding their careful guidance Has led us through the fray. Great and grand our mansions, Though as president we ride, High or low our stations, Fast or slow our stride, To S. H. S. we'll doff our hats, And point to her with pride. So, schoolmates, don't forget us K You couldn't if you triedjg Even the Juniors love us, Though we their candy hide. Very bad we hate to leave you To the Faculty's kind care. Even Seniors do things they hate to, And what Freshies wouldn't dare. Now, good-bye, our dear old High School, Of our hearts you have a share.

They were very poor, and earned their living by working all day in the rice fields of a rich Spaniard. One day, as they worked up to their knees in mud and water transplant- ing the young rice plants, a messenger came and invited them to the marriage of their cousin, who lived in a distant town. That night, as the three brothers sat together in their hut and talked about the wedding, they complained bit- terly of their poverty, but could think of no way to throw off their burden. Let us start as three blind beggars, said Gul, and pray for alms from door to door, and 1'll wager that before we reach our cousin's we shall have money enough to attend the wedding as three fine gentlemen. I-Iow foolish you are, said Ram Chunga, the older brother. And what alms do you suppose they would give us, whom they know are not blind? I would suggest that we start upon our journey and trust to fates to better our fortunes. These three brothers arose early the next morning and commenced their journey to their cousin's wedding. They had always been compelled to live from hand to mouth, and so, of course, they had very little food to take with them. By the end of the second day their supplies were exhausted, and the third day they traveled without refreshment. ' Toward evening, exhausted by hunger and weariness, they crawled into the edge of a thick forest and prepared to rest for the night. They had stopped by a spring, and Jain, while bathing his weary feet in the cool water from the spring, complainingly turned to his brothers and said: What is the use? We cannot meet our cousin with our clothes thus torn and soiled. lt is still a four days' journey to our cousin's, and we could turn back and reach our home in three days. It would be better if we return. Do not lose courage, brother, said Ram Chunga, I believe I have a plan. Do you see that Tinguian cleaning his plow in the Held yonder, and the white ox tied to a tree behind him? We will creep up quietly, and you untie the rope from the animal's neck and tie it about my neck. You and Gul lead the animal to the next town, and I will join you there. Trust to me, and all will be well. Gul and Jain, quite accustomed to trusting their brother, quickly obeyed him. They were hardly out of sight when the Tinguian came for the ox. He was so surprised he could not speak, but Ram Chunga quietly turned his eyes on him and, spitting out a mouthful of grass, said: I see you are surprised, and no wonder. I will explain it all to you. I once was a woodman in a dis- tant land, happy with my wife and children. But one day while in the forest I accidently offended a forest witch, and was turned into an ox as punishment. I returned to our home, but, naturally, my wife and children were fright- ened, and did not know me. But, Hnally, they lost their fear of me, for I was always gentle. And when my family despaired of ever finding me, and the burden of support fell upon my oldest son, who was only a boy, they used me as a beast of burden. This was the greatest pleasure I could expect to have, being an ox, but even this could not last. My son followed my work, and used me to haul the wood to a nearby city, where he sold it. But one day a tree fell upon him and killed him. Then my wife was forced to sell me, and, after many masters, I have finally come into your hands. Now I have atoned for what the witch considered my wrong doing, and have been changed into a man again. Often, when I drew your plow through the rice field, and I was so weary that I could hardly pull my feet out of the mud, I thought of my wife and little ones, and wept be- cause I could not go to them. Now, kind sir, let me hasten to find them, for they must think me long dead. The Tinguian, even though he was much grieved to lose so much money on the ox, was moved with pity, and took the rope from Ram Chunga's neck and set him free. Now it happened that a plague had killed nearly all the cattle in the town where the brothers had agreed to meet. When Ram Chunga arrived he had it proclaimed everywhere that a fine ox would be sold in the market at auction. Many men came to buy. While they were bidding for the ox the Tinguian came to buy salt. He could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw his ox again, but when he went nearer and the animal smelt him and began to low he knew it was his own. This man must have offended the witch again before he reached home, he said, and has been turned into an ox again. If I tell these people that the ox is mine nobody will believe me, a poor Tinguian. And if I buy him back, it will take half of my farm to pay for him. Besides, he might turn into a man again, and Iwould lose my money twice. No, I will buy my salt and hurry home and have nothing more to do with this strange beast. So the Tinguian said nothing, and the ox was sold to a rich man for much money. The three brothers bought hats,shoes and line clothing and the three swiftest horses in the town, and rode away to the marriage feast.

The affair was not scheduled to begin until half after eight, but fully three-quarters of an hour earlier eager Seniors began to arrive. They sat about in the cosy corners and watched the junior class president hang pennants on the east wall, where the energetic basket ball players of the season kicked holes in the plastering. About a quarter after eight, when the last touches had been added to the decorations, the members of the receiving line took their places to greet the Faculty, all of whom were fashionably late. The guests, who poured in steadily for half an hour, promenaded the hall, commenting on the decorations and sampling the punch. At nine o'clock the entertainment of the evening began with the first notes from Springer's orchestra, the guests hastening to the rows of seats placed for them along the south wall. The Junior entertainment committee had organized the All-American Concert Company for the evening. The company had prepared a clever program, and their audience showed its appre- ciation by demanding many encores. Immediately after the concert came the grand march, led by Mr. Clarence Batchelor, President of 1907. and Miss Jessie Fitzpatrick, President of 1906. The marching was very enthusiastic for the first half hour, when the guests had worn holes in the soles of their shoes, and even the energetic Faculty were thoroughly subdued. They were allowed to rest while refreshments were served to them. ' After supper the march was resumed. Certain light-minded young per- sons hinted for a Virginia Reel, but were promptly and deservedly squelched by the withering glances of the Faculty. The merriment and marching con- tinued for the rest of the evening. When the time came to say good night, our departing guests thanked us warmly for one of the pleasantest evenings in the history of the Salina High School. The color scheme of the decorations, lavendar, rose and white, combined the class colors of 1906 and 1907. Thickets of asparagus fern, sprinkled with pink and white roses, gave a pleasing effect. The southwest corner of the hall, where the punch table stood, proved quite irresistible to the guests. The corner was draped in lavendar and white bunting, caught up with sprays of white roses and peonies. The punch bowl was a cake of ice, in which were frozen American Beauty roses. The history of S. H. S. furnishes no precedent for the beautiful Junior- Senior reception given by 1907. But when has this class needed an example? Are we not creators of precedents? MURIEL CULP.

The season of 1906 exceeded all previous ones for strength in football work. The team was light in weight, but each man played his position with exceptional ability, Conditions were not always favorable for success, as in the case of the Thanksgiving game, which was played in a heavy shower of rain. The fields were covered with soft mud and pools of water. The star play of this game was made by Holly, who caught the ball on a pass and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. LINE-UP. C., Holly R. G., A.

The members of the team are all new at the game, yet in this one sea- son they have shown themselves to be the quickest of players. Very valuable assistance was received from M. il.

BASKET-BALL TEAM Glrnnin anh Efrark Mnrk. No game has received so much attention in the Salina High School as tennis. For the past four years the students have kept up three courts, which have been doing double duty during each season. For two years the S. H. S. has held the State High School championship. In the middle of February the tennis association was reorganized and preparation for the tennis season begun. The courts were re-sanded, new backstops erected and new nets purchased. A schedule was made out, allow- ing the use of the courts to different members at different periods of the day, the Seniors being allowed the fore part of the afternoon. The Faculty has greatly encouraged tennis, and Superintendent Crissman and Professor Lofty frequently appear on the courts to take a few sets from the students. Field meets have been held on the campus in the past two years, and preparation is under way for the third of these annual meets. A small admis- sion is charged to bear the expenses of materials used and for the purchase of weights and hammers. Last year E. Yordy made the remarkable record of 192 feet, broad jump, and L. Quincy reached a very high mark at pole vault ing. The H. S. has several hurdles, furnished by the manual training classes, and an excellent vaulting pole, discus, etc. The board of education has very generously contributed to athletics by buying for the association the tennis nets and backstops, and by furnishing something of this kind for each school in the city.

One afternoon the persons taking part in the Senior play were asked to meet in Mr. Crissman's office. Imagine the bewilderment of every member present when it was announced that the Seniors were to give a play in just ten days! That we were the members of the cast!! And that the play was to be Midsummer Night's Dream!!! Mr. T. Marion Crawford's services were secured to coach us, and our work began that night. I am afraid the first rehearsal was not a brilliant one, as we merely stumbled through our lines, Mr. Crawford beating time to our perfect rythm. We went home beginning to doubt our powers as stars, and feeling that we would be much happier had there never been a Shakespeare. I really hesitate to say what Mr. Crawford thought, judging from the agonized countenance he wore. But we persevered, meeting every afternoon and evening. Our lines were soon learned, and our instructor's pained expression lessened a trifle day by day. The next great problem which confronted us was how We should adver- tise this wonderful productionl At last we were enlightened by an idea. The Wednesday before the play was presented the merchants were astonished to hear soft strains of music floating on the air. Asaconsequence, heads were soon hanging out of windows, the sidewalks were lined with people, traffic stopped, dogs scurried to safety and even the street car discontinued its rapid progress. This last tribute was especially appreciated until later, when we found out the car had been disabledg the gasoline had evaporated. The cause of all this excitementwas merely this: The Seniors had all masked and were carrying huge signs, on which were written statements informing the public at large what a great show they had and how. Heading this procession was our famous band. The eventful night, February first, finally arrived, and everyone in the cast was in a nervous state of excitement. The costumes had arrived from Kansas City satisfactory in every way, although Bob, with his bristling set of whiskers, was quite as formidable looking as a brigand. The queens' and fairies' gowns were exceptionally attractive. In the dressing rooms everything was confusion. In being made up, one of the girls was burned, and for a few moments consternation reigned. The fateful moment drew near when the curtain would rise. We could see through the peek hole fthose who were steady enough in the knees to stand on tiptoej that the opera house was packed. At 8:30 sharp the signal was given, the characters took their places and the curtain went slowly up. The audience seemed to inspire the players. They lost all self-consciousness, and at the end of the First act the curtain went down amid a roar of applause. The other acts were just as successful, and went just as smoothly. No one forgot his lines, there was not a hitch from start to finish. lt was a success in every sense of the word. With the many congratulations of teachers and friends still ringing in our ears, we went home tired, but proud and happy. CAROLYN WEsTcoTT. Salina Qltrm from Gbpvra Enusr Reporter. The Senior Class of the Salina High School presented 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' and, of the many plays put on here this season by professionals, this, although consisting of amateurs only, was one of the best. Special scenery and costumes had been obtained for the occasion, and each member handled his part with ability. T. Marion Crawford, under whose supervision the play was presented, has no small ability along that line, and by careful and systematic work had seemingly transformed ama- teurs into professionals. A specialty by the Floradora Quartet, four of the best voices to be found among the young people of that city, was the feature of the evening. They played to a large as well as a satisfied audience. f Extract from The Opera House Reporter, Estherville, Iowa, February 22, 1907. CONVENTION HALL, Where our graduating exercises will be held May 31, 1907 high Svrhnnl Glalrnhar. ' SEPTEMBER. The ball is started rolling. Seats are at a premium. Pupils are com- pelled to double up. The Seniors look like they were thinking: I like to be a Senior, and with the Seniors standg I like to see a Junior, and take him by the handg I like to feel my head swell when I a Sophomore spy, And show the folks what all I know, and, oh, my - 246 students are enrolled. The new teachers look important to hide their embarrassment. Miss Moore giggles. Misses Dooley and Matson are missed, and their successors look sus- picious. The snappy eyes of the one puts her in the imperative mood, and the other, well, she looks quite collected, for the first week. Prof. Crissman leads chapel. He inspires the school by his Wisdom. Mr. Warren has greatly improved over last year. He would have his every pupil rice, and rice, and rice until their heads bumped 'gainst the skice. Football organizes. Freshmen are very much excited. Mr. Amyx fills his place in an admirable manner. He is much adored by the Senior girls. OCTOBER. The new teachers are puzzles. More time is required for determining how they can best be managed. Mr. Lofty states a new law to the High School physicists: There's no use trying to turn the universe upside down. The Seniors have some difficulties to overcome before their object can be attained, but with the glitter of gold flashing before their eyes they cry Excelsior, and ride over the difficulty. Lessons give way to the influence of ghosts. Many small boys and girls put in safe keeping for the night. Hallow- een comes only once a year, so all pumpkin heads will take warning and stay close in when witches next make their visit. NOVEMBER. Lessons grow irksome. . Big day for politicians of Salina High School. Democrats and Republi- cans strike fire. Seniors elect Harris governor. Oh, the folly of Senior classes. There's no use trying to turn the universe upside down. Misses Gemmill and Miles make preparations to go to Topeka and visit the schools. Great day for High School athletics and voice culture. The High School goes out to wallop the big Wesleyans at agame of football, and carries some school property along in the shape of a pennant. The red flag enraging the enemy, they leap upon them in mighty numbers and bear away the Haming banner amid pitiful cries of the H. S.'s and frightful threats of the K. W. U's. The red pennant once more adorns the walls of the Assembly Hall, be- ing regained by the quickest means possible, whether fair or foul. Anyone wishing to use it again will beg permission from the school board, faculty and pupils of the school, and, if he is so permitted by the unanimous vote of each of these respective bodies, he may carry the banner within three miles of a hostile force, providing he has secured it by a string, the other end of which he has swallowed. Misses Gemmill and Miles visit the old Crawford Theater in Topeka. Let us hope that the passion of Miss Miles for ancient ruins led them there, and not blissful ignorance. The first snowstorm reminds us of winter, and Benjamin reminds us of the snowstorm by a pair of new yellow leggings. The pedagogues return, having lost nothing but an umbrella, and having gained new ideas, which they will proceed to use mercilessly on their classes hence forth. Pupils will please pay special attention to Benjamin Franklin's motto, Eat not to dullnessg drink not to excess, at this time. Teachers' Association at Abilene. Miss Miles' treacherous nature is discovered. She declares to Abilene pupils that their's is the Gem City, the garden spot of the west. Red letter day for High School athletics. We make a score of 5 to 2 over the Wesleyans. This day marks the downfall of Turkey. DECEMBER. School especially dull. Pupils have evidently been keeping Ben Frank- lin's motto. ' Everybody is making Christmas presents. Class meetings abound. Classes have their usual numbers of collectors out. Big fuss during first hour in the morning. Christmas greetings on hand. VVhy did the Faculty lock the doors? Seniors of ,'07 would never, never pike. The nought sixers taught them better. Tell the Freshmen for me, Sunt lacrimm rerum. JANUARY. Skidoosky-My, see the New Year's resolutions Hying around! Skidsky-What makes them go so fast? Skidoosky-Well, I guess if you had been slammed like they have you'd 23, too. School presents somewhat the appearance of gray calico. The Seniors sport their three dollar rings forthe first time. Vance tells Miss Gemmill that Bede wrote the Bible. Mr. Amyx gains in favor with the girls. Big day for Salina. Seniors advertise their play by a parade. Many fools in the company. FEBRUARY. The Seniors immortalize the Salina High School by their Midsummer Night's Dream. The Salinaites are dazed, and piles of money are swooped into the class coffers. 1 Messrs. Biederwolf, Rodeheaver and Taylor are received enthusiastically by the school. High School singing is revived. Lincoln's birthday. The School Board begins to look around for Flaws in our building. It is rumored that we need more room. Oh, never mind about that, Mr. School Board, there is yet plenty of space at the top. The High School Infants are busy with red and white tissue paper, making valentines. St. Valentine, St. Valentine, curl your locks as I do mine, one in front and two behind, Good morning to you, St. Valentine. It is queer how pupils do love vacations. Mr. Lofty is astounded at the light-mindedness of his students. The Seniors present their petition along with the other classes, and the desired result is brought about. The caged pupils are set free to celebrate Washington's birthday. Anne becomes infatuated, and sends flowers. The juniors are planning some way by which they may worthily enter- tain the Seniors. The tennis season is at hand. The courts present an artistic appearance. Snow falls on the tennis court. MARCH. Meetings at the tabernacle close. Pupils are at a loss to know how they may spend their time. 4 Mr. Lofty lectures on the mechanism of the human mind and body. Freshmen have their pictures taken. The Faculty attend a basket-ball game. Miss Moore gets excited, and wins the game for the High School. St. Patrick's Day. Owing to the festal day arriving on Sunday, the Irish wit of the High School is prevented from being on parade. Announcement of the state field meet at Lawrence is presented by the principal in due form. Impish germs are at work among the children. The mumps puts in an appearance. The juniors challenge their fellow classes to an athletic meet. The Senior Virgil class decides to leave, as a silent reminder of their generosity and excellent taste, a handsome picture dedicated to the Latin room. APRIL. All Fools' Day. The attendance at school especially good. The Freshmen accept, with all haste, the challenge of the juniors. The Sophomores are fashionably late with their's, and the Seniorsware busy just now-the House Plants are producing-their blossoms. The platform in the Assembly Hall receives, by wayQof a slight decora- tion, a balustrade and curtain. A modest device of lthe teachers, whereby they may hide their feet during morning devotionals. The Seniors begin to look out for Commencement week. They try to decide on a play. Much confusion is on hand. Byron and Carl are over the mumps, and are ready for spring fever to set in. Tennis is fashionable. The Faculty stimulates its nerves on the courts. The Rare-Bit goes to press. The field meet between the classes is successful. Twelve dollars' worth of people were present. MAY. The Seniors are able to see the end ofthe road. Freshmen would like to go daisy picking. A sad week for flunkies. , Much preparation for examinations on hand The juniors have their blowout for the Seniors. Baccalaureate Sunday. A time of feverish excitement among the Seniors. Class Day. The Seniors take charge. The grand play is given. Bouquets. The Seniors are no more. Farewells. Ahnirr tn Zlirvnhmen.

Our Faculty numbers seven creatures, Who've missed their vocations as preachers Five days in the week They squabble and squeak, But, still, they are excellent teachers. Now, there is John Lofty's grin, A tyrant it would wing Its length is so wide When you stand by his side You. think you'll surely fall in. Miss Gemmill, our teacher in Dutch, Is a lady who talks very much. Her tongue moves so fast, We're sure it won't last, No one yet ere 'scaped from her clutch. And there is our beloved Miss Miles, With her face always wreathed in smiles, But her classes in Latin Were ne'er known to fatteng She has them so captured by her wiles. Miss Moore, who teaches mathematic, Is known to be somewhat erraticg One day you are dear, But the next you are queer, And she tells you in language emphatic. Mr. Amyx is a quiet man, He speaks as low as ever he can, But though he's so meek, And always discreet, Yet there's nothing he don't understand. There's Warren, whose first name is Guy, Who's always inquiring now, why? But he gives such a stare That it raises your hair, And behooves you to study or die. Mr. Crissman must have his own way, So the Seniors could give a class play, But when work was done And the glory all won, He found he'd five dollars to pay. Define and form sentences of the following words: Fathom, Species, Odorless. A fathom is six feet. A fly has a fathom. Species is a kind. A boy should be species to his mother.

When Christmas time came near, the Seniors, who had always exercised a benevolent care over the younger classes, decided to delight their childish hearts with the things most dear to them. Knowing that they still firmly be- lieved in the Santa Claus illusion, and as none of us could be so hard hearted as to tear down that youthful castle of dreams, we provided many articles necessary to keep up that deceit. A Christmas tree, huge of stature, was smuggled into the building, and so intense did the excitement of some little Freshies become that whispers of a mysteriously awful nature reached the ears of the suspicious Faculty. We noticed that those same teachers were often in earnest consultation, and would at any and every opportunity regard us with a curious mixture of admiration and fear. We were unable to account for this interest taken in our affairs except in that we always have attracted an unusual amount of gratified contemplation. Long did we discuss the kind of toys likely to please our infantile wards, Finally, whistles, nigger babies, stick candy and toy hatchets were deter mined upon. When we distributed these presents it was noticed that all the classes but the juniors were quite unable to control their joy. Some of the more emotional Juniors were softly indulging in tears, and on solicitously inquiring the cause of such grief, we found that they had lost a box of choice bon-bons which they had planned to give to the Faculty. In a kindly way we explained that the said bon-bons had been left ffor the Seniors never steal, oh, noll with our belongings, and we had thus supposed that they had in- tended that we do the giving in their behalf. Nothing would console them, they having resolved to show off, as most little children sometimes do. And even when, amidst laughing approval, we presented the chocolates in behalf of our junior wards, they still refused to be comforted. Leaving them disconsolately biting their candy sticks, we turned our attention to the teachers. Mr. Crissman was presented with a keen sword to carry on his imaginary battles, and Mr. Lofty gleefully received a finely bal- anced pair of scales, warranted to be unaffected by heat, cold, altitude or loca- tion in any manner whatever. Miss Moore accepted a set of blocks, which it was hoped would materially lessen that astonishing amount of energy she puts forth in her geometry demonstrations. A perfectly tuned music-box charmed the ears of Mr. Warren, and it is said that every morning before setting out to lead the inspired singing that he carefully attunes his voice to its dulcet tones. The most tame of ponies was provided for Miss Miles' use, while Mr. Amyx took possession of a well tempered saw, so as to enable him to saw away to his heart's content. Miss Gemmill meekly accepted the most perfect of modern fiatirons, manufactured specially for her own use. It happened that just as we were graciously presenting the last gift that an excited little Freshie, with sticky fingers, crept up to me and, speaking in a stage whisper, informed me that she liked our candy, and the doors down stairs were locked, and we'd better not try to 'pike.' Sternly repressing her, and in as dignified a manner as possible, we explained that, considering the fact that we had never intended to pike fnever! never!ll, such a warning was unnecessary. And so this was the unhappy explanation of those admiring, fearful glances of the teachers. The very idea of suspecting the mighty Seniors of trying to pike 5 When we never intended to-oh, I mean we never intended to if we couldn't. And then, to add to this insult, they accused us of pur- posely refusing to recite the rest of the day. As if we could recite when we didn't know our lessons! RUTH SWISHER, 'O7.
