THE FIRST SNOWFALL. There is nothing as pleasant after a long dreary day than to wander out in the evening when it is quietly snowing. Not a sound is heard, every tring is soft and peaceful. The moon, obscured by falling snowflakes, sheds a soft, pale light on the scene; the trees become white, and the brown earth is made to change its color. These downy snowflakes we find are even clinging to us, our clothing is white with a cuddling mass of them; some in their delight fly in our faces, some cling tenderly to stray locks of hair, and others dart aim- lessly here and there. In an hour or so we are surprised, for the snowflakes have ceased falling and the moon is smiling bright- ly on the glittering white scene, which we are ourselves are prone to admire. N. A. R. Ik. ' •V ' iW ' %, A SPRING BLOSSOM. She stood beneath the trees, dressed in a dainty white pinafore. Her chestnut brown hair hung in curls and ringlets around her pretty face. Her dark large eyes of brown, half shaded by silken lashes, spark- led like laughing sunbeams peeping from a dewy sky of summer showers. Her lips were the shape of cupid’s bow — the color of red ripe cherries. Her ear the pink of the coral, over which she had hung a cluster of cherries. A drop of dew rested on a lock of her hair— the sun made it a diamond. She was Sprng’s innocence and truly Spring’s fairest blossom.

“Guess that ' ll hold him for awhile,” wheezed Mr. Benton, as he went through the doorway to his own room. “Never mind the theatre tonight,” he mused as he viewed himself in the mirror, and carefully arranged his own slightly disfigure d attire. “I ' ll sit quietly for awhile and smoke a bit.” His cigarette case was not in his pocket. “Wonder if he took that too?” he thought, “it’s silver.” He searched the room and finally took up the traveling clothes he had recently laid off. In the hip pocket of the trousers was the silver cigarette case. Also there seemed to he something else — something which cracked at the touch. “Heaven have mercy on me! ' he groaned and dropped weakly into a chair. Will Drake was washing his discolored and altered face when a bell boy came to his door and handed him a letter on a tray. He opened it and read the following communication: My dear sir: I am far too upset to see you personally. I have no excuse for this evening’s conduct, but my own un- governable temper. For the time being, I beg that you will accept the enclosed check for five hundred dol- lars, for the injuries you have suffered at my hands. Very humbly yours, Benton. Mr. Benton, in tuurn, later in the evening received this: Dear Mr. Benton: The matter of the enclosure of five hundred dollars must he considered. I assuure you I could nevei accept it as a gift, and my first impulse was to destroy the check; hut I will wait to give it proper consi lei a- tion tomorrow, and I may decide to accept it as a temporary loan, to be returned to you at my own conven- ience. I am, sir, Truly yours, William Drake.

Stubent ®ob IRotes The Student Body organized in 1911 has enrolled more members this year than it has any previous year. Our unmber enrolled fifty-eight early in the year, and also at that time we elected our officers. They have bossed the job to every one’s satisfaction. On Friday the assembly period has been turned over to tne student body, who in turn let each class take it ' s turn in furnishing the program. The programs have in- deed been very classy. Some days have been taken up in yells and singing practice. These have proven to be very valuable hours. We are distinctly of the opinion that the Body can yell louder, make more vibrations of ether in one period than the collective members of the faculty could make through- out the year. We are able to sing, “Kind Words Can Never Die,” (Mr. West’s favorite), “Auld Lang Syne” (Air. Oldham’s favorite), from the cup on, and Miss Young’s “Onward Christian Soldiers.” We have developed a number of base singers, whi eh shows that our boys are getting down to business. Help has been given to athletics and much school p Mriotism has been developed, through the appreciative efforts of the Student Body. We hope to see it grow thereby filling annd maintaining it’s position in school.
