When Hilda leaves us this year, both basket¬ ball teams will suffer a severe loss. Hilda doesn ' t believe in getting all stewed up over trifling matters, but when on the basketball floor, she is quicker than a weasel, playing hard and acculately. However, she doesn ' t appre¬ ciate being called a “hick” by a visiting team. “Clam diggers” is so much more modern and delicate, eh, what. Hilda? ANNA KENNISTON Anna, after having globe-trotted for three years, at last settled down with us to graduate. We can ' t publish her statistics on account of the number of schools she has attended, but during this year we have come to know her as a jolly, companionable girl.

L A LESSON IN CITIZENSHIP Ellon bad just conic over from Holland. Sho was very anxious to get acquainted with flic American children and to see wonderful America, about which she had heard so much. It was a bright morning in September when little Ellen started out for her first- day in an American school. How happy she was! How she had dreamed of it in Holland and imagined how nice the girls would be to her! What a good time she thought she would have 1 As she came into the schoolyard, she saw all the girls, with their pretty colored dresses, talking and laughing together. As she drew near, they stopped and stared at her. She went past them into the school¬ room. The teacher came to her and told her she could listen to the lessons today until she understood what she wanted to take besides English. Then she told her she could go out and play with the other girls until school started. So Ellen went out.happily and walked towards a group of girls. As she drew near, the girls pretended not to see her and walked away whispering among them¬ selves. She heard one of thorn say, as she passed, “See what funny shoes she wears.

Ellen felt the lump in her throat again and this time her eye¬ lashes were wet, but she tried to hide them. The forenoon passed and noon came. Ellen tried to eat some of the lunch which her mother had put up so carefully for her, but the food seemed to stick in her throat. Finally the afternoon bell rang and Ellen listened carefully to the lessons. Suddenly she looked out of the window and was surprised to see that the sky was black in the west with thunder heads and the wind was whistling through the trees. She turned her attention to the lesson again, but she could not keep her mind on it. The thunder rumbled in the distance. Then it came nearer and the rain fell in torrents. The thunder increased until it
