lI ' 191515. ANUARY of nineteen X hundred twelve brought to Chicago X x one of the heaviest X I X snowstorms she .had drifts were piled high, and Jack Frost was enthroned in all his . glory. But despite his direful threats and disheartening efforts to keep people -in- . doors, fifty-three very happy boys and girls raced over the frozen crust to school. But their eager, carefree attitude changed to one of dignity and self-confidence as the doors of the school house swung open to admit them. A consciousness of their position overwhelmed them. For with the beginning of the New Year, a new S QQ Q I X. 1 x S I N X X seen in years, The ,X ' Q ' W br K3 ', T career had unfolded in tho life of each one, and this Friday was to mark the close of grammar school days and to in- troduce them to the great, unknown, high school world. The great ceremony soon was over, leaving behind it a rib- bon-tied diploma in each hand and a feeling of deep satisfaction in each heart. The situation was somewhat changed, however, when the following 3IOIlilRX morning arrived. Many don ts am misgivings slackcncd thc previously eager step.

Once having mastered the initial step, further defeat was impossible and firm resolve took the helm to guide the frail craft through the Hoods and storms of doubt and discour- agement that were sure to come. Ot' these there have been many, but of joy and success, there have been iuorc. When the tirst year of school life came to a close, there was a great star on the horizon of these budding sophomoresg a new haven was to be opened to them. For many molnths eager eyes had been watch- ing thc slow growth of a mammoth struc- ture and at last it was ready. How tlmnkfully the counuand to march was received in the little branch on Clark Street. And the echo, march reached the ears of a number in Lake View and they too, responded. Thus a company of about seven hundred was formed and with earnest and united effort they pro- ceeded innnediately toward the work of organization. That first semester, while disagreeable in some respects, was en- joyed hy all. The very important busi- ness of choosing the sehool colors was so heartily entered into, that it reminded one of campaigns and politicians. On the morning of the final decision, the lmll was draped on the 0110 side with green- and-white and on the other with blue-
