FOREWORD School Mates and Friends: Ah, when I first began to plant Life’s garden close, 1 did not know. (For I was young and ignorant) What choice of seeds I ought to sow. And many things 1 planted then Alas! turned out but barren seeds, And others died for want of care. And many more proved noxious weeds. This is the experience of the Junior Class of S. H. S.. but having placed its hand to the plow, there was no turning away. We have come at last, after many hours of laborous work and toil to present to you this volume, which will bring back and refresh your memory with the many incidents of your happy High School Days. Notice as you read: You may be praised, you may be forgotten, sometimes you may be pur- posely and vilely slammed. But after all, remem ber that the Juniors did all this for you. and as members of the class of 1919. we wish now to pre sent to you the first volume of The Melange, and as a return for our kindness, “May the sweet savor of good deeds be well when you have gone over the last fence.” STATE BOARO OF EDUCATION M BATES STEPHENS.

HISTORY OF SMITIISKCKU HIGH SCHOOL The history of the Smithsburg school dates back to the early years of the nineteenth century, «hen the children assembled in a small stone building situated where the Western Maryland Kailway now passes by Towson’s warehouse. The site of the building had been deeded to the trustees by Frederick Unger, one of the citizen of the town. The building was built by the peo- ple and the children paid a tuition to attend theschool. The school was conducted by Mr. Unagst; after the resignation of Mr. Unagst, Mr. George Pearson was then appointed to this ✓ ’ office. 0 In 1869. the first railroad was built through the town and theschool was tom down. Before a new building was constructed rooms were rented in the town to conduct school. Finally a new building was erected along the Cavetown pike at the present home of Mr. James Shank. This building was in use for many years, when it was decided that a new building was necessary, as the attendance had increased and the old building needed many repairs. !n i8_. a building was built on the present site and the school was first conducted by Mr. George 0. Pearson, who was followed by Mr. Harbaugh. This building was larger than the pre- vlous ones, having four rooms.' Mr. Harbaugh Ws succeeded by Mr. Eugene A. Spessard. After teaching for many years in this building, the attendance increased so much that a fifth teacher, Mr J. W. Schnebley, was appointed. He conducted his work in the small library room until it was deemed possible to build a hew building. . During the following summer. 1915, the old building was torn down and the p-e nt one erected. With the opening of school in the fall, the different rooms were scattered over the town and conditions existed this way until the opening and dedication of the new building, on January ( 6. 1916. Mr. Schnebley resigned in the fall of 1915 rnd -ucoeeded by Mr. L. L. Shircliff. the instruc- tor and founder of our science department. It was through his interest and hard work that Smithsburg High School got its science department, v.hich can be proud of its equipment, rank- ing second in the county. After entering the new building another member. Mr Hugh Harp, was added to the faculty. His position was filled the following year by Miss Elizabeth Clever. During the scholastic year of '16-’17 there was a great drive made by the patrons and citizens of the community to have the Smithsburg school recognized as a High School. It was finally granted the following summer and school opened in the fall with the present faculty, ,-n exception being made in the science depart- ment. Mr. Shircliff leaving for Camp Meade around the first of October, and Mr. J. P. Bussard filling his position. _ . The Smithsburg High School, just beginning its work, is improving more and more and it is to be hoped will increase in attendance and live up to the standard of the school. L. LEO SHIRCLIFF Lieutenant Shircliff, a former member of the faculty of the Smithsburg High School, with Robert Ridenour and Chester Murray forms the Roll of Honor of the school. Lieutenant Shircliff for two years held the position of science instructor To him we owe one of the finest laboratories in Washington county. We dedicate this page to Lieutenant Shircliff with hopes for his future success. SENIOR ( LASS 1918 OFFICERS PRESIDENT.............

Whew! 1918. . SENIOR (LASS HISTORY The Class of 1918 started in High School work in the fall of 1914. When they entered into this “Land of Learning” they had 15 seekers of knowledge. Some came up from the seventh gr ade. where they had for many months been hudly engaged in storing their minds with knowl- edge. some came from farms, where they had been tillers of the soil; while others crme from other halls of instruction. And as they entered this land, they were received with wild welcomings and rejoicings by those who it was decreed should henceforth lead them up the slippery by-w. ys of knowledge. They were also received with mischevious g!ee by a certain band of wild beings who were called “Sophomores. and who. because of their fierce taste for Freshmen blood, pounced upon us and caused us to suffer great things and to say in our hearts; “Behold, Messed be the name of Education, for because of it we endured great torments, and became martyrs to the great and noble cause!” One of the seekers of learning gave a party at his home. There were many preparations made and at the appointed hour everyone had assembled. The evening was an enjoyable one. As the time swiftly passed, some of the seekers made excuses to leave the class, and so at the end of the first year only twelve remained. The first part of the second year was spent in idleness, but at the middle of the year we moved into the new “High School Building” Encouraged by the new school building, we spent our days in hard work and study, being ruled over by Eugene Spesscrd. of much know ledge He spake unto us. saying: “Organize yourselves into a class, that you may gain in strength ami cour- age.” We obeyed his command and chose the wisest for our leaders and called ourselves the class of “Ten and Eight.” Being organized into a class, we chose for our colors blue and gold and for our flower, the sweet pea. These symbols stand for the high mental development and the intellectual power that is so necessary to the concentration upon one pursuit that alone wins the goal of a student s mastery and success. As the colors were decided upon, the pennants were made in correspond- ing shades. And as the class journeyed on four of our beloved companions dropped out, for reasons un- known. So the whole number at the end of the second year was eight. At the beginning of the third year the class of “Ten and Eight” advanced their storehouse of knowledge and reached farther on for the goal for which they were striving. The class jour- neyed one fine winter evening to the large city of Hagerstown to see Romeo and Juliet, one of Shakespeare’s famous plays. The trip was an enjoyable one. Two parties were also held dur- ing this year. And as the class progressed three of our beloved seekers of learning dropped out and at the end of the third year only five of our beloved seekers were left. This, the fourth and last year in the history of this great and wonderful class of “Ten and Eight.” has been one of much hard labor. Now it ci me to pass, as their pride grew, the class began to wish for badges. So the secretary of the class sent many messages to the big cities for samples of fine jewelry; after much considering the class purchased rings with which they rest- ed well content. The class chose for their motto: “He conquers who conquers himself.” The class yell was also decided upon. Hoo-rah! Hoo-rah! Who are we? We are Seniors, can't you see? Where from ? Smithsburg High School, rah! rah! rah! Smithsburg High School, yah! yah! yah! A one, and a nine, and a plain 18! That’s it! Whew! 1918! So It came to pass that of the 15 that entered this land in 1914 only five will depart, for broad is the gate and wide is the way that leadeth to High School, and many enters; but straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth to graduation, and few find it. They departed and each went a separate way. IRENE BIRELY This is Ed's double; where you see one you see both. She is quite unassuming, conscientious, friendly and reliable. Birely is indeed cast in heroic mold, with her queenly grace and dark hair she serves well as a Shakespearion heroine, especially at dances. When she starts to dance with anybody who thinks he can dance he just realizes how little he knows about it. To all outward appearances she is rather reserved, but appearances are sometimes deceiving, as many people have found out. She can talk for herself, and we are sure of her success as a nurse. IRENE BIRELY “Reney” Birely Identification; Middy blouse. Favorite literature: “Modern Etiquette. Ambition: Trained nurse. MARY RIDENOUR What do you mean? I can’t understand. Why? For questions Mary is the limit. She can ask more questions in half an hour than Daniel Webster could answer in a week. But this innocent looking senior is not so quiet as she looks. She is quite a sport and talker. She is often heard of going to Hagerstown to par- ties. but she never tells us about them. There was quite a large spot in her heart for I amp Meade.” but it is now traveling farther south. MARY IUBENOt’K Identification: Ball dresses. Favorite literature: Shakespeare's works. Ambition: To brighten the world at large. jihhies � wk Hats off to this distinguished gingersnap! Lem is a very modest young man, always find- ing fault with everybody except one young lady. He is very fond of walking, as has been found by his many trips to Edgemont. He is making use of the highl y desirable qualities (obstinacy and contrariness) .which were willed to him by the class of 17, but with all his faults he is a very pleasant person to be about. l em is some “plain” geometry student. He expects to be at Washington, D. C.. this summer. He has his own personal reasons. Favorite literature: Barker’s almanac. Ambition: To get a girl with brains. EDNA KKETKINGEK 1 Don’t ( are” Slim, tall and —? Well, that’s Ed. She has been with 1918 from the very beginning. This little maiden is some dancer, as we all found out when we saw her dancing around our school room with Birely. She is a very active member of the Dodge Ball team, and becomes very ener- getic at times. She is very anxious about get- ting a (class) ring. We do not know what kind, but we suppose a diamond. Although she can be very attractive, she make3 herself very disa- greeable around the boys, for she is a regular man hater.” Ed really intends being a school marm, always with a bunch of hickory sticks under her arm. Our sympathy is extended to her students. EDNA KRETSIM.EK “Ed, “Kreta, “I Don’t ( are” Identification: “Reney.” Favorite literature: Anything but a love story. Ambition: Master of foreign languages. RAYMOND GARDENOCK “Buzz” Identification: Sky-blue skirt. Favorite literature: Ufe. Ambition: To be a success. RAYMOND OARDKNOt'R Poor Buzz is so religious. Just look at his earnest eyes. But never-the-less he is a good sport, and after church generally takes a crowd of girls and boys riding in his car. He is a very good scholar, especially in tak- ing physics. He is very much interested in a Virginia ( Dot ). He expects to be a farmer and bring little Dot to live on a farm some- where in dear Old Maryland SCHOOL, SWEET SCHOOL! ’Mid pleasures and palaces the Juniors may fool. Be it ever so humble there’s no place like school; A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there. It’s a bird, called the buzzard, that dropped from the air. REFRAIN: School, school, sweet, sweet school; There’s no place like school, Oh, there’s no place like school. I gaze on the school as I follow the dear rule, And feel that my future still hangs on the school; As we look on that building from our own cot- tage door, Tho’ the limbs of the old elm will charm us no more. An exile from school, splendor dazzles in vain; Oh, give us that building just once again; The children playing loudly, that comes at our call: Give me that school, dearer than all. C. E. B., T9.

The voyage had been contemplated for a long time. Other crews had completed the voyage safely before, so the little band of happy hearted sailors climbed aboard the good ship •Happiness with much laughter and joy. The ship appeared the essence of happi ness as she lay ready to begin her first journey. Her white sails, unscarred by wind or rain, lay brightly against the blue sky. The sailors hung over the sides, or butted around the deck of the ship, all happy in the thought of the voyage. At day-break, the Happiness spread her white sails and soon left the harbor far behind. The voyage was not all pleasure. The sailors were new' to the duties and many mistakes were made. But the captain was wise and kind, so everything went well for nine long months, until they ap- proached the land of Vacation. How beautiful the tower and spires of the city looked to the sailors as they approached it. And how happy they were as they left the ship for their long stay ashore! But the time passed quickly and the sailors began to look forward eagerly to resuming their journey. A new captain was chosen for this trip. A better one had never sailed the sea; one who rejoiced with them in happiness and grieved with them in adversity. The sailors loved to please this captain. The ship sailed steadily day by day through calm sunny waters. Never before had a voyage been so favorable; and when the port of Holiday was reached the sailors reluctantly bade their captain good-by. looking forward exp ectantly to the next stage of their journey. Again the ship sailed away. No longer bright and new as on her first voyage, but with rain-stained sails and decks, now worn and faded. But the same captain was there and the sailors bravely started toward the hardest and stormiest part of their voyage. This was a hard voyage. Storms came often and the sailors at times grew mutinous. They deviated from their course, and the captain, weary and worn after many a stormy day. would try to urge the rebellious sailors to pull together. Then calmer days came and the ship bravely weathering many a storm, sailed on. Though she is still sailing in troubled waters, yet the third part of her journey, the hardest, most toil some part, is almost over and the sailors, with eager eyes strained toward the sunny southern port of Graduation, still sail bravely on. LANTZ 1) AY HOOF PAT Identification: Bashfulness. Favorite literature: Instruction sheets th at Agent Smith sends out. Ambition: Farmer. and is the class president of the Junior Class. He is always seen in our midst, because Pat is there, but his mind constantly wanders to the hreshmen room. i He is so bashful that when the girls talk to him the blood runs to his cheeks to such an extent that the temperature of his feet actually drops to —360. Never-the-less, he still shows a liking for that one particular “Miss ” He is not much for studying, but no serious trouble has ever resulted from it. When our young president leaves us the community will miss him more than can be ex- pressed, for he is a wonderful farmer. Through his farming he has won a course at M. S. A. C. and is expected to do great things in the future. CATHERINE ROWE Hats off, gentlemen! Here comes our big, Ftout, blue-eyed, cherry-cheeked, smiling Cassy. This poor, good-natured little soul is always will- ing to help “Amy” on the sly in her German class. She never gets into mischief except when she feels like it, and that is quite frequent. Her rmbitfon is to be a nurse, but as she is fre- quently talking of going to Pittsburgh her fu- ture seems very doubtful. She used to be a very active member of our class and as happy as a lark, but now since some of her admirers are either in Anniston, Ala., or Camp Meade, she is rather down-hearted. Oh, how we pity our dear little Cassy! We all have sympathy for her for she is rather uncertain of what the future may have for her. CATHERINE ROWE “Cassy “Oil, Goodness” Identification: Pink cheeks and blue eyes. Favorite literature: Burn's works. Ambition: To do something I’ll never ac- complish. KITH SENSENBAUGH “Sensy” Identification: A smiling countenance. Favorite literature: St. p:imo. Ambition: School-marm. RUTH SENSENBAUGH Say! I’m in for that. Oh. here we are! The brightest girl of all. Ruth is a very jolly girl and the only trouble we have with her is to make her stop laughing. It is a small matter to get her started, but to stop her is entirely different. P en if “Sensy” does walk seven miles a day she is still plump. We do not believe she walks it but we almost have to take her at her word. Our personal opinion is that a little “Lyon brings her. Ruth is a very sound sleeper. Ruth is a very quiet girl, but neverthe- less enjoys fun as well as the rest of the crowd. Krai ROWE V hr.t'a the mutter! You muy kn v who this H as roon as you hear it.

ETHEL BROWN “Say, show me how to do this Hurry, it’s time for class.” When one hears this they need not inquire who it is for they know at once it is Brownie.

She stands h ek in i corner scared to death, holding her hands over her ears. She has quite a time extracting square root, we suppose, because she has never been used to anything like that, for she has an elegant display of 1 rge white teeth 3 it to give the short and long of it. Brownie wears glasses and eats three meals a day. ETHEL tfitOWN Identification: Gorgeous display of line teeth Favorite literature: Milton’s minor poems. Ambition: Stenographer. MILDRED HARM E Say, do know anything about the geometry lesson? Come here and tell me all about it. This angelic child is one of our strongest advo- cates of Woman’s Suffrage, notwithstanding the fact that there are quite a few in our class. She has an ever-ready desire to laugh and talk and is now composing a piece of poetry about our new teacher, Mr Bussard, whom we all think is per- fectly wonderful. She and Curly have been re- joicing about their “penning’ pap up in the dress- ing room. She is always at the head of every joke played on anybody. She can write very good short stories if she can sit still long enough to write it. Her greatest delight is to tease Pap Yowler. MILDRED HARNE “Picky “Pet, “Mil “Goodness, Gracious, Sakcs Alive Identification: Talking. Favorite literature: Alice in Wonderland. Ambition: Militant suffragette; artist; author. IIARRY GARNAXD, “Jap “I don’t give a d—.” Thump! thump! thump! Who is this great athlete? Why, it is one of the Heavenly Triplets. “Jap” is one of the best ath- letes around. And he is very proud of it, too. Every noon he is seen down on the square look- ing, “waiting for the one I love.” He usually goes out for a track team and anyone seeing him jumping towards the Ridenour apartments would say there would be no reason why he should not succeed. Indeed so promising is this young man’s life that we only refe. r you to “Encyclo- pedia Britanica volume XIII, where a thorough account may be found on North America. “Jap” is also a star Scout and takes a great interest in the work. HARRY GARNA ND “Jap “I Don’t Give a ----- Identification: Ask anybody. Favorite literature: Scout stories. Ambition: Mechanical engineer. (i RACK STO IT FUR Who would think that Edgemont could pro- duce such a magnificent handiwork as this stu- dent who now poses before us? But, fortunately, such is the case. Besides being a good student, 3he is also an excellent artist and we fe°l that in time we, the Juniors of S. H. S., will produce one of the greatest artists of the day. Even though she is seldom seen carrying a book she gets along without any difficulty. Her greatest pride la two large, dark brown curls which almost constantly hang over her shoulders. We all envy her, for she is the only one who can afford to wear two class rings, but alas! she is doomed to bo an artist and we extend our sympathy “Oh Identification: Very pink complexion. Favorite literature: Victor Hugo’s works. Ambition: Missionary. MARGARET LEGGE What's our lesson about? Where does it start? How far does it go? This is heard about five minutes before class time. Amy asking it, of course. When you look at her she starts to smile which continues, always getting larger, and finally ends up, “You tell ’em, Liz.’’ If you hear anything like water running over a rock, don’t worry for it is only Amy laughing. She usually spends her time laughing and talking just as fast as she can. She is very fond of dancing, hence her many trips to Prof. Stouffer’s dancing academy. But how does she get there? Well, anyway, she doesn’t walk. Her cheery smile on a dreary day often makes a sad heart gay. She also has a great fondness for walking and talking about (?). MARGARET LEGGE “Amy, Peggy” “YouYe Nuts Identification: “Sykey coming down. Favorite literature: Advertisements of Ur. Brown’s love powders. Ambition: Trained nurse. CAROLINE BRENNER This cute little maiden is our agile Caroline, better known as “Curly.” Her admirers are many, but she saves all the radiance of her melting smile for Mr. Bussard. She now thinks she will take a course in chemistry so that she will be better prepared in knowing how to fry wrter without burning and wash test tubes if it should become necessary. She can already bake nice, round biscuits—at least they look so on the outside, but it was noticed that she wasn’t in school for several days afterwards. ‘Curly” is very artistic and spends many hours, or if you were waiting for her you’d think it wras years, in arranging her golden curls. By her looks you would think she was the mo t innocent person, but form an acquaintance with her and you would have to change your opinion. Identification: The uncombed curly wool. Favorite literature: War news. Ambition: Musician; dentist , artist. CLARENCE YtHYLER Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these— Her’e Pap again. His slogan is: “Come on, Jap, let’s get the Dodge ball from the girls.” Pap is the third and last of the Heavenly Triplets of the Junior Class. He is what we all call smart in every sense of the word. He is trotting on a pony through Caesar sixty lines a minute; German three time3 as fact, and can do chemistry experiments faster than anybody ever has done or even will do. But oh! The most important of all he can tease the girls without the aid of Jap or Pat. He is a charter member of the firm of ‘‘Yowler Day- hoff.” brokers and breakers of test tubes. Identification: A large bunch of bigness. Favorite literature: Funny sheets. Ambition: Civil engineer. CLARENCE YOWLER “Pap “Who wants to know I HITII Kl II This unromantic ut nevertheless amusing person is Kuhny whose giggles may be heard all over S. H. S. This child has a lot of wit and gayety hidden under a large coating of giggles. She just loves to come to school when she knows she doesn’t know her lessons. But, look at her noble appearance. Who would ever think she could have fun and enjoy herself. But, in fact, she can say more crazyness with a straight face than anybody we know of. She is so unromantic that she always takes the shortest way to trans- late a love story, but we supose she will change in due time. I et us hope so, anyway. KITH Kl’llN “Kulmy “Aw Identification: Giggling. Favorite literature: Milton’s works. Ambition: Bookkeeper. DAY WOLFINGEK This cherry-cheeked maiden of just sixteen summers is one of the many liked by all “Woody is one of the leading members of the class and good at writing short stories. She is fond of athletics and is learning how' to knit. She is a good musician and is a good student in any study having any size, shape or form, whatsoever. “Woody is the most active member of the class and is a great chum of “Mill’s. She takes great delight in developing pictures of herself. Her greatest ambition is to become a surgeon, but she really intends entering college with her friend “Maddie. “Woody also, in addition to her many opinions, thinks its useless there lo use toll-gates, so when she drives her car she breaks everyone to pieces that she can.

Quite a number of the boys joined this club. They met twice a month and members were given topics, such as potatoes, corn, etc., to spe k upon Er.ch prize-winning member was tequired to farm one acre of corn and one-eighth of an acre of potatoes. There were quite a few members who won county prizes. Lantz Day- holT won a course at M. S. A. C.; Harry Garnauid one-quarter of a ton of fertilizer; Silas Kuhn, $10; Arthur Sleasman, $7 50; Wilbur Glenn, pocket knife and fountain pen. In the spring of 1917. a group of ambitious girls were organized under the supervision of Miss Jones, our County Home Demonstratoi, as r, Girls’ Club. Each member was required to do the first year sewing, making bag, apron ane cap by hand; also learning the art of darning, patching and buttonholing; besides this work each girl farmed one-tenth of an acre garden ind canned seventy- five containers of food. Every member was given a “Daily Record Book.” in which a record of all the work done every day on the garden or can- ning the vegetables and fruits were kept. At the end of the summer a story of the garden w'as written, and made into a booklet. At first, quite an interest wfas taken in the club w'ork. but during the hot summer months only four pushed the wrork onwrard to the close of the autumn season. They met twice a mo nth and were taught to can as well as sew. BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB CONTINUED Frizes were offered to the girls who canned the greatest number of jars and also a State prize was offered to the three girls who had the best garden and kept the best Daily Record Rook. the story of the garden included. We are proud to say one of the Junior girls has been able to win the second State prize, which is a week's course at M. S. A. C., in June, and the third prize in the canning contest. With the opening of school in the fall, many of the girls came back and the total membership reached eighteen. During the fall and winter quite an interest was taken in the work by many of the girls and a great deal of work was accom- plished. A Japanese Tea was held in the High School auditorium on March 2nd to raise money for a cooking outfit and also to exhibit some of the club work. A stove and baker were presented to the club and cooking lessons have been in- troduced into the club work. After the girls had finished the first year work they made garments for the Junior Red Cross. The club has inspired much patriotism among the girls and most every member is going to have a garden this summer, making an effort to do her bit. tcs WO! S. H. Tune: Boola Song. Oh, ten to one when the game’s begun We will shout till the echoes reach the sky. What is it tells us under the sun That another victory is nigh? Not the sound of all our voices, Nor the tramp of all our feet. But the surging of that spirit That can never reckon with defeat. Away, ’way up on our bleachers high. With our colors flaunting in the sky, We make the air with S . H. S. ring And her praises with might and main we sing. We’ll stand by her when the fight is on. And when the battle’s won We’ll shout and sing the whole day long: S. H. S. joyful triumph song. Go. S. H. S.! Go. S. H. S.! Go, S. H. S.! Go, S. H. S.! Go. S. H. S.! S. H. S., go, go S. H. S.! ATHLETICS Our track squad this year was the largest ever produced by S. H. S. Not only the older boys came out, but a great many boys of the under classes reported, and we were glad to see this, as in time they will make runners that will be a great credit to old S. II. S. The track season was one of the most suc- cessful we have ever had. The season opened on May 16 th at Hagerstown to decide the school championship of the county. We were represent- ed by our relay team and several individual boys. Our boys lost the relay match, but made a good showing and gained experience for next year, while our individual men showed up particularly well when we consider that they had been their own coach. S. H. S. made a great showing in the county events. Much pleasure was afforded the spec- tators by watching the close races between the schools of Washington county. We cannot help saying that the past season was a very successful one and we predict that the young boys will make great runners for old S. H. S. some day. •TV DODGE BALL TEAM DODGE BALL Prior to tills year, Dodge Ball has never been fostered to any extent at S. H. S. No attempt had ever been made to secure Dodge Ball matches with other schools and consequently there was out a meager Interest taken in the game at S. H. S. However, during the past spring a team was organized under the direction of L. ShirclifT, who was elected coach. A match was played on May 16th at Hagerstown, at which our team made a rather poor showing, due to the fact of no coach- ing. On October 5th the team went to Clear- spring High School, where they were defeated by a close margin. W hile at the present writing no prophecy can be made as to the success of the team, it can be said that some very good material has been shown. The team will be greatly handicapped by the lack of expert and constant coaching, as it was not deemed expedient to secure a special coach for the team. Atusic and At)ram a Misir E. Hay Yo I linger Frior to last year no organized musical body existed at Smithsburg High School and little musical interest was shown. An attempt to or- ganize a school orchestra was the first indica- tion of any musical ability. Under the direction of L. L. Shircliff, the instructor in science, the orchestra progressed rapidly and has kept up its work during this year, playing at several school entertainments. The work has been slow, but Gray's Immortal Elegy occupied him seven years and it is to be hoped that the work will still pro- gress. JCNIOR ( LASS FLAV “Lost: A Chaperon” SYNOPSIS OF SCENERY Act I.

EGYPT Egypt is the country celebrated alike for the highest antiquity, as for early and unequalled and long continued eminence in the arts, in science, in an enlightened and refined civilization, in luxury and magnificence, which has continued thru all history a thing of great wonder and which still plays a part in the commerce and politics of the world. But for the last twelve and half centuries there has been a constant decline in this land. From the time of the Babylonian invasion there has been no revival of Egypt’s greatness and pre-eminence among the nations. After the Arab conquest its degradation proceeded with rapid strides until Egypt has become what it is today. Its science and learning and art, its magnificence and power, have wholly perished. Everything that made the Egyptians what they were has been wholly lost. Egypt formerly was especially noted for its industries. Excellence and highest efficacy in every department was their constant aim. They permitted no tradesman to meddle in political affairs, lest his proper occupation should be ne- glected. They also considered that to follow- more than one occupation would be detrimental to their own interests and to those of the com- munity, and that when men engage in numerous branches of art they are unable to excel in any. The results of thi3 care have secured for Egypt its undying fame. It has been proven that the Egyptians possessed many of the secrets of mod- ern science. I need not mention their architec- ture. sculpture, painting or embalming, with which all are familiar. It is enough to say that this same superiority distinguished every indus- try from the highest to the lowest. Her agricul- ture still remains the employment and stay of her people, but it is not the agriculture of the past. But Egypt still continues as a kingdom, though the basest of the earth. After the Babylonian captivity she never again had a native ruler, but it has been the prey of cruel and foreign mas- tery. A blight has settled on the land, the rivers and canals have dried up. The verdure of the river banks is swept awray and the fisheries, one of the chief sources of the peoples food, failed, likewise her industries. But despite all these ravages of time, it still lives on and is still the home of its ancient masters; and if it does show- that in the struggle with time the hand of decay has left impress, it may find some satisfaction in the thought that there Is no parallel to its long and proud career in the whole world beside. G. E. S., ’iy. V LAND OF CHILDREN There is a land, not far from the S. H. S., hitherto only explored by children. It is a wide barren land whose soil in the spring is muddy and swampy. A wide lake lies in this country, not a lake of blue waters and sandy shores, but a black, cold lake with shores of slippery, slimy clay, making it unapproachable. Cold rocks stick out here and there. No flow- ers bloom; no trees are planted. Still the children stay on. Summer takes the place of spring, and the country becomes a hot, barren desert. Sometimes a little grass grows, but is soon dried by the hot sun which beats mercilessly down on the children’s land. Rain is an enemy to this country, making the ground slippery and causing much distress to the small inhabitants. Sometimes grown-ups have passed and glanced casually at the land, but finding it too dreary to explore have gone on. The children keep hoping that sometime somebody will be interested enough in the coun- try to enter it and help to render it a more fitting place for “A I and of Children.' M F. H.. T9. AN ODE (With Apologies to Shelley) Hail to thee, blithe Spirit Bird thou never wert. Who from the lab or near it. Pourest to us words of learning In harsh strains of undreamed mcarning Teach me half the knowledge That thy brain must know. Such atrocious madness Then from my lipe would flow I would make the world listen then. As I must listen now. A Jt’MOK ESCAPADE It was just before Easter the Juniors, of course, Decided they wanted a nice photograph; So way they skiddooer in a minute’s notice. Without leaving word to the teachers or scholars. At one o’clock sharp, on the square they met Ml except one, whom they had to get On their way to Hagerstown. That was their destination. But just wait—I’ll give you more explanation. Buzards, attracted by the noise of the motor, Around the auto seemed to hover. We arrived safely in the midst of the town. Thanks to the goodness of Day alone. Who happened to be our chaffeur that day. And guided us safely along the way. Our photograph taken, we went to the movies— Observed the pictures of two good lovers. When this was over we went to the store And bought ourselves candy and peanuts galore At 5:15 we left the town Just as the sun was going down. We were laughing and talking as all children do When Hull’s jitney bus hove into our view; Then the bad, bad Juniors heard a shout And knew at once that it came about From Mr. Bussard. our science teacher. Who would not leave us have the leisure To take our ride to have some pleasure. And this is what the Junior heard As o’er the pike they quickly sped,— “Oh! what do I see coming from afar. Eight bright-eyed Juniors in a Mitchell car?” We passed each other with shouts and cheers And such a sound ne’er reached our ears. In the course of time, at a goodly pace. Fortunately for us we arrived home safe. R. O. 3.. -9. WHAT'S IN A NAME? The Senior class was holding a conference, with Miss Clever presiding at the desk, when somebody suggested looking over the year book. The book was gotten and inspected with the greatest interest. After the inspection, the class was discussing the merits of the book when Edna suddenly blurted out. “1 don’t think much of the name.” As the Junior class had not decided upon a name, the Seniors were mystified as to her meaning. On being questioned, she replied: “Why. they have the name printed on the front of the book.” This was disputed by one of the members of the class and to keep peace in the family a second inspection was made under Edna’s direc- tion. Opening the book. Edna pointed with a disdainful shake of her head, saying, “There; what did 1 tell you?” The class read the “title”— “Anna Domina”. 1918. JOKES X.
