JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class has been charged with the solemn(?) offense of being an extraordinarily efficient one, and to prove this indictment I would like to bring to bear some of the evidence. They entered their freshman year eighty-four strong, and have kept up their ranks unusually well, numbering sixty on being three-fourths of the way through their journey. But as quality is more necessary than quantity, we will first investi- gate the records of the athletic endeavorers. In football Morton Gleason, Marion Raab and Don Wheaton gave loyal and valuable support to the team. ‘Then, in baseball, Carlton Clark, Morton Gleason and Lynn Spencer substantiated the charge of efficiency. The class was also represented by Morton Gleason in basketball. In the intellectual activities it is actually known that Ethyl Sherer and Mary Black sneaked off with the first prize of the interclass debate, having won the cup. The Junior Class is also not even guiltless in musical accomplishments, as Alice Veir, Madeline Brown and Don Wheaton are three of the foremost singers in the glee clubs. It took a Junior to commit the crime of being Editor-in-Chief of the school paper. ‘The latest accusation is that the Juniors have furnished over one-half the literature in the 1916 Annual. Furthermore, it is the first class to be guilty of writing its own play. In summing up the facts of the case, we believe that you will agree that the efficiency of this class has been thoroughly proved. Mary Bent, °17. ON THE MOUNTAIN Thou blessed footstool of the Lord, most high, Wherein the children of the earth are blest, Would that the tired soul to thee could hie, And there enjoy thy blessed peace and rest; That he who from his daily task would flee, Might find the rest which thou alone supply, That all who only life’s dull darkness see, Might hasten to thy joyous heights, so high; Teach us the greatness of thy strength and pow’r, That we to others may thy aid impart, And as we wander through Life’s hasty hour, May aid some weary, mournful, aching heart ; Make ev'ry rock and crag familiar ground Till he hath up thy rugged pathways wound. Don Wheaton ‘17.

SOPHOMORE “Say, Dad, what can we do? Mother won't let me go out in this beastly rain, and it’s so dull I’m nearly blue in the face.” “Let's go into the library,” said father. “We may scare up something there.” After ransacking his brains to find some means of whiling away the time, father said, “I tell you what, son, let’s look over some of my old high school eanals, Flere’s the one for 1916. That's when I was in the Sophomore class, and a finer class wasn’t to be found in the United States. Athletics? Well, I guess we just about ran them. ‘That year Bob Cravens was elected football cap- tain and “Hook” Beardslee was a wonder at it. Our men starred at baseball, and as for tennis, the teams were about made up of Sophs. The track team would not have been anywhere if Millspaugh and Hirschler hadn’t been on it. ‘Then, for school spirit! Well, I guess there wasn’t one girl in the class that didn’t come out for every football and baseball game we had. I remember when we were Fresh- men, the teachers were so proud of us, the English teacher especially, who said that we were the finest ‘bunch’ she had ever had. When we became Sophomores and were wiser, we found it did not pay to fall in their estimation, and we didn't. We weren't goody-goodies by any means, but we worked while we worked, and played while we played, and were all-around good fellows.” “Gee, Dad, that must have been a class!” “It was. You can see by the picture that we weren't a homely lot. A credit to the school, I tell you.” Agnes North 718. ON LOVE Oh, Love! sweet spirit of eternity ! Bereft of this pure gem the soul is dead; The soul to life by love alone is led! Without love, life is stern reality ; With love must vanish idle vanity— All misery, all useless fear and dread: The definite is viewed but by the dead,— In love, the living see infinity. Oh, Love! celestial spirit of the blest! How barren is the soul without thy light !— ‘The weary heart where love doth find no rest! A life of love is radiant and bright, But sadden’d is the soul by love oppress’d; ‘True happiness in love is pure deliht. Evangeline Stonebrook 17.
