G. SPURGLON, 08 B. f 3 E 3 , , 5 3 E I '--N- AAAAAAAMRAA . MAA wi AAAQAA Ahtfim The last day of vacation had come. To-morrow I was going up, as the fellows at high school called it, which meant, to my distress, that high school would open, and as I had graduated from First Street two months before, I was due in the Assembly Hall at 9 A. M., Monday, Where the Assembly Hall was I had not the slightest idea. As I approached the huge, red, brick structure, there were boys of all sizes and shapes standing about. By shapes, I mean those particular fellows who wore the great, big, light-colored corduroy trousers. That was the limit, I thotg you couldn't pay me to wear such garments as those. Oh! you walking bill-board l I yelled, as a. pair of Lhem swished past me, sounding like a lady arrayed in a new silk dress. This was my start. The lad stopped, turned around, and, coming up to me, said, y0u're just the fellow we want,'l and he po- litely escorted me around the corner of the building. By this time there were two or three more boys grasping me as if I were so much gold. To the 'cooler' for you, some one shouted from the side. All was excitement now. Boys were yelling and running about, seeming to enjoy it immensely. I made astruggle to get away, but alas! it was of no use. I could hardly realize What had happened un- til I was marched up four steps then down a flight to the left, then in at a small opened door. I could not realize what was coming next till I was shoved into a dark place and the door slammed behind me. Just as I landed on the floor in the dark, a bell from above sounded and the crowd outside went some place, all shouting and talking at the same time. It became still outside. Now it dawned upon me that the last bell had rung, this could not possibly be the Assembly Hall, the Assembly Hall, I thot, was the place where MY FIRST DAY AT HIGH SCHOOL everybody met to talk over different things, or to sing, and that was where I ought to be. I rolled over, scrambled to my feet and groped about until I ran into a tin surface, which popped as I hit it with my elbow. I-Iey! fellows, let me out, I shouted at the top of my voice. From above came a muffled burst of laughter, then silence. Hey! fellows, let me Out, I say. This time the muffled sound of laughter came to my ears alittle more distinctly. My heart stopped for an instant, and, as I heaved one full- grown sigh, a couple of tears found their way down the sides of my hot cheeks. They surely made a horrible mistake when they nam- ed this place the cooler, I thot to myself. I wish I were home and daddy was here, I sobbed and giving up, sank down once more upon the cold gravel floor, and waited a long time in despair. In my misery I heard some beautiful music from afar. It was the good old, familiar Lead, Kindly Light, and next, Holy, Holy, Holy! This cheered me up a little and I was in much better spirits when somebody opened the door close by my side. He was a small, thin man and wore apair of blue, bibbed overalls, which looked very respectable besides those light-colored corduroys, so I passed him by without any further remark than a modest, thank you, and glided up the stairs only to be stopped by a gentleman who wore a vandyke, and who ushered me up three flights of stairs into the great Assembly Hall. Here I was greeted warmly with a burst of applause from the occupants of many hundred desks. I was shown a seat in front and sat down, feeling proud of being so heartily received as a member of the Santa Ana High School. Merry faces beamed upon me from every side and now I thot that if ever any body on earth had a right to wear those big trousers, it was Ig so I decided then to order at once, a pair, extra wide, from the tailor.

Will all the boys in the room please stand, announced Profes- sor Heart of the Prescott High School from the platform to the stud- ents assembled for the afternoon session on the Hrst Wednesday of the second semester. Now , said he, all those who were in no way connected with the 'imprisonment' of the Freshman boys in the furnace room this morning may be seated. This may seem a curi- ous sort of announcement to most people, but to some of us present it was a fearful surprise. Initiation of Freshman had been positively forbidden a day or two before. But we had paid little attention to the fact, and had stowed away the little Freshies in the furnace room. Now and then, as we were gaily singing our morning songs, their melodious cries for freedom came up through the air shaft. The one failing of the faculty was that they couldn't take a joke, and now as our innocent or dishonest companions began to take their seats comfortably, we who were left standing felt the weight of the situation. Our names were taken and we were invited to call on the principal in the office after school. Unless we could find some way in which to change our loving principal's mind, it was certain that the school would have to get along without about twenty of her most energetic students for awhile. No possible way of solving the question had been discovered by three-thirty and we all marched into the office to meet our doom. Now, began Professor Heart, when we were all seated, You boys have directly disobeyed those authorized to control you and not under any circumstances can we tolerate such actions. So you will be asked to discontinue- But a loud knock on the door interrupted him. He opened the door and there stood Kirk, the world's most famous hypnotist, disguised as a book agent. He began to talk about some new dictionary just out, all the while keeping a steady gaze on I-Ieart's eyes. After a few minutes he disappeared and the principal stood dazed and stupified in the door for a second or two Then turning to us with a laugh he said, Quite a joke you played on the Freshman this morning- That is all, I guess. Zn? THERE COMES A TIME ROBERT PERRY, '08 B. There comes a time in the life of every boy, when feminine charms thrill his sensitive heart, and fill his breast with a tender passion for every pretty girl he sees. That boy is but half a boy who has not felt the sweet impulse of puppy love. I remember one instance in my life, when a new family moved into our neighborhood. There were a large number of children in the family, but one little girl about my age, with brown hair and eyes, especially attracted me. But the harder I loved her, the more I was afraid of being noticed by her. One day, as I was feasting my eyes upon her through a knot- hole in the fence, my mother called to me from the kitchen: Take this over to those new folks, she said, holding out a large pan to me, and tell them we have just killed ahog, and thought perhaps they would like some fresh meat. I took the pan reluctantly, and started off. My face flushed, even as I entered their yard, and I wished I might hide my head under my coat. As I stood there waiting for the door to be opened, I ventured a timid glance in the direction of my loved one, who was sitting on the porch. Oh, the intense agony of that moment. I felt as though some one was wrenching at my heart, and I wished I might die. For there she sat, looking up at me, and making such a face as ne'er before carried so much bitterness to a mortal heart. At that moment I was dimly conscious that the door opened, I took a step forward, but alas, I stubbed my toe, and fell head- long into the hall, scattering the meat over the floor, and rolling the pan across the room. 'fHere's some meat ma sent you, I sob- bed, and witnout waiting to be thanked ded precipitously. 'K N i- A YARN FROM THE DINNER HOUR IN THE BOYS' BASEMENT F. L. HE11., '07 B. 1'11be darned if I ain't too lazy to go home for dinner, said Bob to Temp. as the two were passing from the last recitation room before the lunch hour. I'l1 tell you what let's do,', his companion said, Let's graft upon the boys down stairs. Good! replied Bob, HI guess the boys will give us a 'hand- out,' and we can tighten our belts a notch for the rest. Come on then, said Temp., We hadn't better be slow about it, or they will have eaten every thing up. NVith this they went down the basement stairs as only boys can, and began to make an earnest plea for food, offering divers excuses such as. 'Ma ain't home to-day,' 'My Wheel is broken and I want to study and won't have time to walk. In this way they were able to get a few pieces of bread and a piece of cake which they divided between them. Well,,' said Bob, I guess that by the time I get some candy in on top of that I won't starve. With this he turned and passing out of the basement door, started up town. A moment later Temp. also left the basement and called to his friend to come back and see what he had. As soon as Bob saw what his friend had, he ejaculated, Gosh! where did you get that pie? But Temp. spurned the question and said, I'll give you half. if you want it. 'tGo0d feller, rejoined his companion, I'll be your Dutch uncle some day. Temp. broke and gave his companion the larger half, who, by the way he disposed of it, showed that he had had some practice in pie eating before. I When he had bolted down the last mouthful he turned to his companion and said, Where did you get it, Gee! but it was good. Then noticing that Temp. was not eating his piece he said, Why don't you eat yours. Oh ! replied his friend, I picked it up beside the trash box where some one had thrown it. 4 K ,,F,,,,.,.,f,..,,,,. .3 4 E 3 as V Z ASSEMBLY HALL WHEN LEVILIEL WENT FX DRIVING Lem has just returned from the canyon This Sunday eve, pretty late, And was changing his clothes before going again, And was happily thinking of Kate.

Lem soon arrived at the stable, Waffle laughed, but he said, You're too late. Jack Visel has been here fyou know the restj, And the combs are now hooked onto Kate. 9-'S' ' jf . l r -'lf 5 r..,1 1:21 , e sway,-ff,,s, V f gg 4' 1-f 'l .,,,. 2 Quia ...

Despite the stormy weather about a hundred and fifty people were present, and their gay spirits were not in the least dampened by the pouring rain outside. The lower hall was a perfect bower of green. The large pillars Were banked with date palms, and heavy ropes of smilax Were grace- fully looped from one pillar to another. A charming program was given. The A 1 Class certainly has much talent among its members, and bids fair to be tl1e most pro- SOCIETY gressive class of the High School. The numbers Were given as fol- lows: Vocal solo, Hazel Roberts, Piano Solo, Kassa Bailyg Reading, Miss Wardg Piano solo, Mabel Brown, Reading, Miss Dickson, Man- dolin solo, Harry Mills, Piano solo, Harry Warne. After the program there was a most amusing game, guessing the names of songs, many of which were represented by members of the class. A young man Wearing a Wreath of smilax was finally guessed as The Wearing of the Green. Another young man caus- ed the party much amusement by chasing a ball around the room. very aptly illustrating After the Ball. Several other games were played, and then refreshments were served. The guests departed at a late hour, after lustily singing their class songs, giving their soul-thrilling yells, and assuring the A 1 Class that they had been given a most cordial welcome into High School. 1 M . 21 4 T will ' 2 Q , 5 'sf H1123 it ' X ' V ,A ' L .

Santa Ana has always put out a good ball team and this year is no except-ion. The team this year is unusually good notwithstanding the loss of George Co1eman,our last year's wonder, who surprised himself by striking out eighfeen ot Los Angeles High's players inlast year's championship game. For awhile prospects for a good team were exceedingly poor, but faithful practice and carefully studied team play has done wonders. Capt. Walbridge is to be congratulated on the team he has developed. The 'first game of the season came off February 10, When the Monrovia High School team Went down to defeat on our grounds to the tune of 11 to 3. Norman Freese, a former Santa Ana player but now of Monrovia, played a star game at short-stop for the visitors and Won a great deal of applause from the grand stand and bleachers. The second game was played March 3, at Chemawa Park, Riverside, against the ball-tossers of the High school there. After twelve innings of spirited playing Santa Ana scored the Winning run, the score being eight to seven. . ARIEL March 10, the crack Redlands High School base-ball team tasted defeat on our home grounds. Caruthers, diving over the Redlands catcher in the tenth inning as he was catching the ball, lit on the plate, and scored the only run on either side. With the exception of a series of three games between the two lower and two upper classes, in which the upper classmen were victorious, there were no more games until April 14, when the local High School team wiped up the earth with the Occidental College aggregation, defeating them six to one. Individual mention would be superfluous. Each member has performed his duty and worked for the team rather than for individ- ual glory and that largely accounts for the success. We hope to win the Southern California championship again this year as well as last, and if hard practice will do it we shall certainly succeed. f Q 3 .sans TENNIS aww.: Considerable interest has been aroused in tennis among the girls since the beginning of the quarter, and a close doubles tourna- ment has already been completed. The courts have been in good condition most of the time, and every evening has seen an exciting match on at least one of the courts. The officers of the girls' club are as follows:- President, - - - ELSIE PARKER Manager, - - CAROLINE vocrr Secretary, - - LESLIE ROBERTS Treasurer, - - - LILLIAN NORMAN There are several boys' tennis clubs in the High School but not much has been done along that line during the past quarter. The Olympic Tennis Club, however, has had considerable practice dur- ing noon hours. The clubs expect to have several tournaments before the close of school in June. The officers for the Olympic Club are as follows:- President, - - - CHAS. VVOLLASTON Vice-President, - - SIDNEY SAUNBY Treasurer, - - - CLAUDE MARTIN 1,359 x 'if x QwG X c X5 Q N X NXiXX iX ' K ' V' 1. g -fi-., 5 fi ' gf , , T, :sas , 1 --' 'fi ,ag l wjgb 5. l A is ,tg 1 A' i ' A if l iii' VX. xf' A, ' 1:9211 QM V , T ,...,..m..

They have already played six games of 'basket-ball this season and have won them all danclily, nor were the teams what are ordinarily called snaps for most of them had been very successful the year before. A great deal of the success of the girls in basket-ball this year has been due to the very efficient coaching of Mr. Hiram Scholes, who took charge of a number of inexperienced players and made the team what it now is. Most of last year's team was not in school this year, and consequently only raw material was available for some of the posit- ions, and yet this year's team is markedly superior to that of last. The forwards, Elsie Parker and Agnes Yoch play together like machinery. Neither works for individual glory but for the good of the team, and itiis this team-work that is responsible for the large scores run up. Both forwards are quick and aggressive and usually in the right place at the right time. Miss Parker is relied upon for free throws and she has certainly at wonderful ability in that line. ARIEL In the last game, that with Occidental College, she scored six goals out of eight free-throws, missing the other two byavery small margin. Miss Yoch is noted for her cool nerve and steadi- ness in a game. Miss Katie Lutz at center has always distinguished herself by her alertness. She has played all around most of her op- ponents and has never failed to hold her own against them. Although small and light, her speed and aggressiveness have enabled her to out-play most of her opponents. The work of the two guards, Misses Caroline Yoch and Bertha Whitehead. is always to be commended. In their positions good plays are not Very noticeable but the small number of chances they have given the opposing forwards for scoring speaks Volumes for their playing. Both are big, strong, and fearless, and as fast as most smaller players Great credit is due the substitutes who, while having little opportunity for playing in the games, have practiced diligently with the rest of the squad. Miss Norman, on the one opportunity she had to play, showed herself to be little interior to the regular forwards. At center Miss Conwell played a thoroughly reliable game, and showed that she was able to take care of most of the opponents whom she might meet on the basket-ball court. The two sub-guards, Miss Leslie Roberts and Miss Frances Condor, have distinguished themselves by their alertness and aggressive- ness. Better substitutes could hn-rdly be desired. The girls have been fortunate in obtaining the services of Miss Head as umpirej She has always been square with both sides and proven highly satisfactory. n Following isa list of the games played, with their results:-- Jan. 20, at Santa Ana-Glendale 13, Santa Ana 29.

Another year of such improvement will place it among the foremost schools of the southern part ofthe State in this popular sport. It has been large- ly due to the encouragement given it by Prof. Martin and Principal Oakley, that the team has been as successful as it is. Considering the fact that they have had no available coach, and that the athletic funds are low and the equiments not of the best, the boys have done as well as could be expected. On the whole, the team is unusually well balanced, the kind that is successful in dual meets but not very much so in the large interscholastic meets. On Saturday afternoon Feb. 3, the aspirants for the track team engaged in a very spirited meet at Athletic Park. This was doubly interesting owing to the fact that it was not only to determine the members of the team for the time-being, but also the winning class. When the score was iinally counted it was found that the Senior '06 had won the meet with thirty-eight points, while the Juniors '07 were second with thirty, and the Sophomores and Freshmen third and fourth with twenty one and nineteen points respectively. Three weeks later, Saturday March 2-1, the crack Los Angeles Polytechnic High School team came here and emerged victors in one of the most interesting meets of the season. Robert Spur- geon was easily the star of the day, winning the fifty, hundred and two twenty yard dashes in good time. Santa Ana was strong in the dashes and jumps, while Polytechnic excelled in the middle distance runs, and in the pole-vault. The final score was sixty three to fifty-one. Since that time the local boys have greatly im. proved however, and are hoping for another chance at their con- querors, for they feel sure that they can defeat them if they h ave another chance.

Relay race-WVon by Polytechnic team consisting of XVirsching, Mcftleer, Streeton, McDonald. After the Polytechnic meet a long series of Saturday rains pre- vented other contests until March 27. One night after school, the Senior class attempted to vanquish the rest of tho school, which they did with ease, in spite of Spurgeon who won four first places for the underclassmen. Phillips for the Seniors was practically as good however, for he Won three firsts and tied for the fourth first which he could doubtless have Won had the event been Iinish- ed Then the team Went to Pomona March 31, and while not crowning their school with glory, came back with two medals and a lot of experience. Spurgeon's showing in the two-twenty was good for, after losing four feet on the start, he ran Donnell, the speedy Los Angeles High School sprinter, a dead heat in 23 sec. iiat, breaking the Pomona College Interscholastic record in that event. When the event was run oif, however, he had become s0 TRACK TEAM worn out by his four previous races that he was beaten in time con- siderably slower than before. The next meet attended was under the auspices of the Uni- versity of Southern California. Spurgeon was unable to attend, and the team came home with nothing but several fourth and Hfth places and some more valuable experience. We hope to have three or four other meets this season, and by faithful training and diligent practice to come out strong next year. A comparison of the last year's records and those of this year both in practice and in competition is interesting, for it shows the great improvement made. 1905 SPURGEON 10 1-5s H 24 2-5s BURKE 58 1-5s THOMAS 2m 16s HUBBARD and HOLDERIWN Sm 10s CHAFFEE 19ft 'Fin Yarns Sit i0in ROBINSON 3Sft 8in HILLARD Sit Zin EVENTS 100 yard dash 220 yard dash 440 yard dash S80 yard dash Mile run Broad jump Pole-vault Shot-put High jump Hammer-throw 1906 SPURGEON 10 3-5s 235 55s CARUTH'RS 2m 14s LHUBBARD 5m 6s COLLINS 20ft 3in DEARDEN 20ft lin DEARDEN 9ft it TEMPLETON g PHILLIPS 36ft Sin Sft 4in PHILLIPS 145ft 6f'NKgN Wwfixsfisw Four girls once went rowing on Newport Bay, They had neither a care nor sorrow, not they, The boat turned over in water so blue-- I wonder what happened to Gladys and Sue. .... F F - M DEBATING M . - J t .... SHNTYX FYNYX VS. HCLLYWOOD Our last debate occured on the evening of March 10th. The Assembly Hall presented a gala appearance in cardinal and white and the supporters of both Schools carried the same colors conspic- uously. Considerable interest was felt by the large crowd, as Holly- wood has been the only school who has ever sent Santa Ana to de- feat in debating. However we had great faith in the ability of our team, Lemuel Robinson and Conant Livingston. We upheld the aiiirmative of the question Resolved that Municipalities should own and operate their own Public Utilities. Lemuel Robinson was the first speaker. Far more is expected from a seasoned speaker like Lemuel than from a novice, but Lemuel more than sustained his high reputation. He began in a calm col- lected manner punctuating his arguments by Well-timed and -force- ful gestures. He soon captivated his audience by his strong, ag- gressive personality, and his keen, incisive and logical arguments held the attention of his hearers to the end. Miss Blondeau was the first speaker for the negative. Her argument was fair, but lacked force and individuality. Mr. Conant Livingston was the second speaker for the affirmative Mr. Livingston had never appeared in any debate of note in this school, but his creditable performance took him forever out of the class of possibilities and branded him as an orator of fine ability. We consider his deep, snappy delivery the best in the school and his argument showed deep thought and clear insight. We evpect great things from Mr. Livingston. Mr Hardy concluded the argument for the negative. Mr. Hardy is in a class all by himself. We never heard another speaker like DEBATING him. He has a peculiar way of calling a halt at the end of each argument and informing the judges that this is the fourth or fifth or Qwhatever it might bel argument which he has proved. His ges- tures also are peculiar and unusual. It is plain that Mr. Hardy has gone to some school of physical culture where they specialized on the shoulder movement, because the only gesture he employed was to hunch his shoulder and at the same time double his fist in the most approved Whybark fashion. However we rather admired Mr- Hardy as it is always enjoyable to see a fellow who has the force of character to talk and act as his own judgement dictates, Without de- pending on other people as a guide. Mr. Robinson concluded the aiiirmative in a grand rebuttal that practically annihilated many of the arguments of the negative. It was a good debate throughout. Every speaker brought credit to his school and people awaited breathlessly the decis- ion of the judges. We give the decision in full as it shows how closely the debate was contested. The first judge gave Livingston first place. Hardy second place and the debate to Hollywood. The second judge gave Rob- inson flrst place, Miss Blondeau second place, and the debate to Santa Ana. The third' judge gave Hardy first place, Miss Blon- deau second place and the debate to Santa Ana. This gave Mr. Hardy first place, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Livingston a tie for sec- ond place and Santa Ana the debate. This made three debates which we had won in succession and gave us the right to debate Monrovia for the championship. 'Vg . .ft WF QNX all 2 Bslxlv Ili r Q'-.2 -' l Q i la . Clothes do not make the man, but they may make him more attractive and pleasing. Just so with a magazine. The cover de- signs ofthe Ariel have been good, but we felt that if the whole school, instead of a gifted few, should put its shoulders to the Cov- er Design VVheel that something above the ordinary would be ground out. VVitl1 this object in view the Ariel Cover Design Contest was started. To infuse life into tl1e competition a reward of five dollars was offered. The Designs were handed in without names to Mr. Smith, and he was the only person who knew the owner of each design. Our expectations were more than realized. More than a score of designs were handed in and every one was a credit to it's owner and to the school. It afterwards developed that some of the best came from students whom we never dreamed could wield the hard-lead drawing pencil. It was only after long deliberation that the jndges awarded the prize to Miss Nellie Waite. As the warm days of Spring approach there is a notable ten- denoy, especially among the boys, to quit school. We hardly know what to attribute this restlessness to, unless it be that it is the time of year when every clod feels a stir of life, the monotonous round of school duties become particularly irksome, and we wish to leave the narrow coniines of school for broader fields Coften hoeing in the bean Helds.j However it is a bad plan to quit school when there are only a few weeks left. It not only brands us as quitters but credit is lost for all of the work accomplished since the last se- mester. Stick to it, fellows! It's the best half of the game with only a few minutes to play. Stay with it! EDITORIAL Some students in this school have marked aptitude for poetry, others show ability to write stories, others can arrange a josh into it's most comical form and the talent of others makes itself apparent in mirth-provoking drawings. Every student has a natural aptitude, an inborn ability for something, and we wish them to use this gen- ius for the benefit of the Ariel. If something amusing and interesting comes to your attention describeit in a short poem, a short story, a josh or make a sketch of it. You can surely put it into one of these forms of communica- tion. Then hand it in to the Ariel! It is our fondest ambition to make the Ariel the great clearing-house of the happiest thoughts that accur to you. Nothing deep or learned Cwe get a surplus of that in Greek, Latin, Geometry, etc.j but any thing that is inter- esting, clever, short and amusing will be acceptable copy for the Ariel. W'e were rather amused, the other day, to hear a post-graduate unburden himself of some interesting but distorted Opinions. The gentlemen in question told a new professor that since his Qthe post- graduate'sl class graduated, the S A.H.S.had been steadily going to the dogs. To quote Mr.Post-Graduate,- When my class first Came into school there was no foolish idling of time such as we see now-a-days. Everyone of us recognized the fact that the price- less jewel of education was within his grasp, and we made the best of the golden opportunity. But now the students care for nothing but play,tl1ey no longer work conscientiously,the standard of schol- arship has fallen from its former lofty position and we have lost our high reputation with the outside world, The gentlemen has evi- dently forgotten that this is the most successful year which our school has ever enjoyed. VVe proved our brawn by defeating the pick of Southern California's Cvvith the exception of Los Angelesj foot-ball teams,and in base-ball We defeated everythingin sight,in cluding Occidental College. We proved our brain by winning three successive debates,and we now stand ai chance to Win the debating championship of South- ern California. A teacher recently told us that at present we stand in about the fourth place of California High Schools,and We are steadily improving. A person need never blush when he asserts that he graduated from old Santa Alla High School, the Cardinal ARIEI. and White waves among the highest. The Ariel Staff lost two capable-'members when Lemuel Robin- son, Editor-in-Chief and Robert Collins, Business Manager, recently resigned. Lemuel is so busy in other departments of school Work that he could no longer iind the necessary time to devote to the Ariel, while Bob's stated reason for resigning was because of pa- ternal instigation as he had ruthlessly iiunked in his studies. Here's luck to both. The Ariel Staff wishes to thank Misses Fowler, Moore and Lowd for the assistance they have given in securing material for the Ariel. The interest they worked np in contests for stories and drawings has been invaluable. upaifenx mv . -f-- ,Z I .11 .Xi ,X as a 4? +A . so .al ...el .af JEFFERSON CLUB .al .20 .al The Jefferson Club has had to contend against many adverse circumstances during the last quarter. However the club is still thriving, despite the fact that so many of its old leaders have left school, and points with pride to the fact that all of the boys who have so far successfully represented the school this year in our inter- scholastic league debates are members of the club. An interesting program is rendered each Thursday afternoon in Room 9, and a cordial invitation is extended to all boys of the school to be present. nf' lifkg- Published By The Students Of The Santa Ana High School 'f 'UOL.

However we invite you all, whoever you may be, to let us know what you are doing by ex- changing with us. I The Russl' is a neat and well proportioned 'paper for its Size. But we like to read stories with some of the High School and College snap in them. We believe the Russ would be more inter- esting reading, if there were a few lines of poetry added here and there to break the prose monotony. The White and Gold makes a splendid appearance and there are many excellencies. But we think your poetry could be made much more interesting, if they had some point along college life. Your stories also would convey more interest if, they dealt more with school life. We believe a school magazine should strive to be inter- esting rather than display high and flowery types of literature. Give us spice and snap, The Occidental is fine for a weekly, but we think you would make a better success if you made your publication less often and added a little literary work. Current news of the college is all right, but give us a few stories and poems. Wind of the VVestern Sea which we read in Ye Chronicle is a fine story but again we urge, give us college stories With aCtiO11- Enliven your publication with college humor. if I D e fl K he 5,5 Hilde Gisli The Athena Club now numbers one hundred and eight members. At the close of last semester new officers were elected, and at the beginning of this semester, installed with impressive ceremony by Miss Tedford, the retiring president, whose untiring effort helped greatly to make the club what it now is. About twenty new mem- bers were initiated, and a very pleasant informal reception was given them inthe French St. Park. Many interesting meetings have been held, musical and literary. The feature of greatest int- erest now is a continued story called An Affair of the Hair . One chapter is read at every meeting, and the club is eagerly await- ing the outcome of the interesting plot. Athena Members are all enthusiastic, and the club is realized as a potent factor toward creating a spirit of good fellowship among the girls of the High School.

You have attended school a num- ber of years and know many things. Perhaps you can read Latin and Greekg solve problems in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, caleulusg measure the distances of stars, analyze the constitnents of earth and airg perform creditably along the lines of oratory or song. This is all well and good, but is there any money in it? In your study of economics you have learned that civilized man has three sets of wants: ily necessaries, 623 comforts, 135 luxuries. Does the knowledge you possess enable you to render the kind of service that Will satisfy these wants? As you begin to investigate the alfairs of this world, you lind that it is strictly a world of business: that bread and butter are of first importanceg that there is no such thing as independ- ence without the capacity to earn money. To earn money you must be qualified to render such service as is in demand. In husiness such service invariably requires, among other things, expert knowledge of debits and credits: of computations in interest and discount, part.ial payments and equations: of leases, mortgages, deeds, liens, contracts, notes, receipts, drafts, che-cksg of invoices, bills of lading, account sales, business cor- respondenceg of SI-IORTHANIY and 'l'YPEWRI'1'I'NGg of opening, clos- ing, expertiug and auditing books of acennntg making out balance sheets and statementsg a fair understanding of commercial law.
