It is evident in the serious, purposeful student body.'.1Vlany have marched away to offer on the altar of country the supreme sacrifice; and those who were left are sobei'ed by their going. Others, restless and idle, have left school, im- pelled by the unrest 0f the times, but the remnant are preparing for a larger patriotic service in the future. What a list of new activities the war has brought. Pep becomes ttPuti-io- tism and effort for ttBonds replaces plans for tibanquets.

From Ritchey we get much good building material; from Echols help and advice; and McElhaney takes 0111- silver and gives us receipts in return. Our building nearing completion we come to Forbes for painting, Cox and :arleton for music, and Muikel for practical business work.
