THE PORCUPINE 19 RZ at the heels of Piper, they followed to the joyous land he f had promised them. And when they were all safely in the mouth of the cave closed fast; they had gone, never again to return. No, not all went in, for some, too weary to dance all of the way, had just reached the cave as it closed. Just sixteen merry boys and gitls had gone to that land where everything is fair and beautiful. Alas, for those that were left! If in after days they were asked why they were sad they would say that life had been dull since these sixteen merry friends had left, and that they could not forget that they were bereft of the beautiful sights of that joyous land that the Piper had offered them. Indeed they were sad and lonely. And in after years, in order to commemorate the memory of those who had gone, they thought no paper dated correctly unless written after the day and month of the year,were these words: “And so, long after what happened here, On the Eighth of February, Nineteen Hundred and Seven.” TEXT BOOKS AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES 6 C.

THE PORCUPINE 21 It is, perhaps, human that all who have lived desired to do something to perpetuate the remembrance of themselves in their fellow men. Is it then amiss that such should be the case with groups of men? Nations, states and cities do this, so it has come down that each class as it leaves this High School should leave behind it something by which it may be remembered by future students. It was with this aim in view and also with the worthy desire to better the school and make its atomspher even more uplifting, that the last two classes presented the school with pieces of statuary to adorn the study hall and make it more attractive. It is with this object in view that this class has taken up the work and presents to the school, for the purpose of beautifying the assembly hall, a statue of the Venus de Melos. We hope that following classes may deem it de- sirable to do likewise and that in time we shall have a con- siderable group of statuary to adorn the building. ery The Voice of .
