tS SCHOOL DAYS s «j? Ah! well I remember that bright autumn day, When round about Whitley came classmates gay. Year in and year out we have been at the head And borne without flinching, what others most dread. Until after long study we needed repose. Ere we met in life ' s struggle our numberless foes. The students well knew we were best all the while Our hardships we love with a bright, happy smile. For Honor was with us and under her eye Each one was determined to do or to die. As freshmen each one nobly did his own part, For he knew it was best as it lay near his heart. Each day we grew wiser, and sought to admire Glory, which wisdom does ever inspire. When sophomores we really made friends of our foes And gladly we do this as onward life goes. For it is the way of this long path of life. Lessons are long for we must often face strife. And when Juniors we worked with such diligent grace And went walking along at that measured out pace, But near the close of that short happy year We gladly glanced back with a good hearty cheer. Now as Seniors we look o ' er these four years with pride. And see how we gain as the years onward glide. Yet now gladly we go from this room, out to work With hearts light and happy, no task will we shirk. — Lizzie Smith.

But here was the end of the shining chord and I must take the next which was a short black fiber followed by one as white and clear as a crystal. White seemed to denote something great, and I longed to know what it might be, and here my wishes were granted, for I read in the transpai ' ent substance that Clifford Marye had invented the Steam Turbine, from which he was reaping a bountiful harvest. I now knew what all my classmates were doing except Briant Edwards, but early the next morning I measured his thread which told that he was one of the greatest writers the world had yet produced. His home was in Washington, D. C, where he had first decided upon his vo- cation, and where he was visited by allthepi ' ominent men of the day. He had made several trips across the ocean to various regions of beautiful scenery, and had written them so vividly that one felt himself looking upon the pretty landscapes all over the world. And, yet, I was still in the damp dismal place, the very thought of which made me tremble and longed to be back on earth. My fingers became stiff and I could not use my shears. This made Pluto very angry and he stepped for- ward, grabbed my arm, and I awoke finding myself safe in my own little room. Lizzie Smith .
