This may he con- sidered the prayer of every junior. Each one of us has now come to the place where he realizes that life is for some definite purpose, and he wants to prepare himself for his part of the great work. There is a striking analogy between the life of the chambered nautilus as pictured by Oliver VVendell Holmes, and our own lives. The Junior's freshman year was one chamber of his ship of pearl : his sophomore year another: and now his junior year, another cell more beautiful than either of the others. But he does not wish to stop here, he wants to build more beauteous palaces. HAS the swift seasons roll, leave thy low-vaulted past! As the time has been going by, his soul, his mind, his body have been growing. His old haunts are now too small, they are cramped-he needs more room, more work to make him grow. And all his life he has been growing. He says to his inner self, Leave thy low-vaulted past! He doesn't want to forget his old templesg he wants to let their experiences help him in his larger and better shrines, but he shuts them up as the chambered nautilus did so that he cannot go backwards. Let each new temple be nobler than the last. The Junior feels for something more beautiful, something more worth while. Till thou at length art free, leaving thine outgrown shell by life's un- resting sea. Soon the Junior will be through with four of his cells- which mean to him his four high school years. He will be ready to throw himself on life's unresting sea, and to do what he can to make the world a nobler and better place for him and his fellow men. -AMY GRo'rH, June, 1927.

vain eiuwrarfiimrnts-an emi OUR l'l7n1.In1 LIBRARY THE CITY OF SOUTH HIGH HE city of South High School is located in the southeast portion of the state of Minneapolis. lt has a population of two thousand, and has an area of one square block. The legislative body is made up of the aldermen. Their work is to in- crease the knowledge of the citizens and to make the laws. The executive power is held by the mayor, Mr. Joseph Jorgens. His duty is to enforce the laws. The judicial power lies in the hands of the municipal judge, lWiss Sadie Keatley. This city boasts that there is no need for a city prison. The chief buildings are the court house, located on Central Avenue, the library on Second Avenue, the auditorium on First Avenue, and last but not least, the lunchroom located on Everybody's Avenue. There are many vocational schools where one may learn to become a dressmaker, designer, milliner, stenographer, teacher, nurse, cook, black- smith, engineer, carpenter, editor, lawyer, or homemaker. In fact, any vocation one desires may be learned here. The bi-weekly newspaper, Tlll'I SOUTHERNER, has won country-wide fame, and it stands at the top of the list of city papers. People visiting the city of South High say, Many cities are ahead of South in beauty, but cannot acquire the general atmosphere and winning spirit which exists theref' Strangers are always welcome, so if you haven't already visited this city, do so at the first opportunity, for you'll not regret it. -AI.l'lIiA ATLBERT.

They at first shed only a flickering ray of light which has now grown to a wide, shining path of fame. Among these stars are our class officers who have shown themselves to be true leaders. Qur president, Richard Carlstrom, with his assisting officers is efficiently managing the business of the class. We have among us one, Agnes Hove, who has shown herself capable of holding four offices. She is vice-president of our class, vice-president of Meridian, president of the Linnean Club, and program chairman of Blue Triangle. Although she carries the responsibility of these four offices, she also manages to remain on the honor roll. In the two operas given this year, nearly all the leads were taken by members of the 1927 classes. The leading girls were Fannie Shear, Carol Hauger, Alfreda Olsen, and Freda Utterberg. The leading boys were Alvin Urseth, Earl Hanson, Lorenz Peterson and Raynold Anderson. Donald Collogan and Alfred Anderson are also deserving of parti- cular notice. Donald is president of Hi-Y, one of our most important boys' clubs. Alfred Anderson, as you all know, is a most lively cheer- leader. He has helped Harlen Bynell cheer our teams to victory many, many times. Alfred also has entered the National Oratorical Contest. VVe cannot foresee the future of these stars, but we sincerely hope that their success in school enterprises will be followed by even greater successes after their school life has been left behind. -BICRNICE iDAIII,, January, 1927.
