Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1915 volume:

'T' It .V ) •r a� n . For four short years we’ve been with thee. Through sadness and through jollity. How swift and sure have lied the hours Since that first day we called thee ours! How gay and thoughtless were we then! How careless we have often been! And looking back we now regret That we so little joy did get. From what was for our good, know. If we had only seen it so! Full oft have we our studies slighted When we some fairer pleasures sighted. But all the tasks we once despised Now they are past, become most prized. And thou. () Schoolhousc, once so drear, Hath suddenly become most dear. And as we think of leaving thee A sadness mingles with our glee. Farewell, Old School, we'll think of thee With tenderest love where'er we be. MABEL KISER,’15.

Following in the footsteps of our worthy predecessors, we, the class of nineteen hundred and fifteen, proudly and gladly submit this fourth annual of the Waterloo High School as a slight token of our humble efforts.

Wc will first put our readers in a good humor by placing before them the pictures of the Seniors, surrounded by a very artistic panel—at least that is the general opinion—and looking very much as they did when they had their pictures taken over in Schermerhonrs studio. They number just exactly fourteen and arc full of wit. good humor, and originality. But one glance at them will convince you of the truth of this, rather than mere words. So please look them over, and think what you please about their virtues, both good and bad. because they’re accustomed to compliments of every variety and know how to appreciate them as they deserve. YIltGIL JOHNSON Long shall we seek his like- ness—long in vain. And turn to all of him which may remain. Sighing that nature formed but one such man.” Virg began his famous ca- reer in North Carolina. He has from the first been very popular and has filled manv offices in the W. H. S. with en- tire satisfaction to every one. He has served three years as a member of Company K of the National Guard of Indiana. Gifted with great executive powers, he has done very val- uable service in piloting the class thru many perils, in the role of Business Manager. I in HI. ; I It It DOT Her modesty is a candle to her merit. Ethel, our noble President, has been with the class since its beginning in the primary room, and has finally obtained the place she so rightly de- serves. She always turns to her lessons with a will good to see. and uncomplainingly does any work assigned her. either by teachers or literary society. Her modest nature has won for her many warm friends. MABEL KISEIt “I-Ier brain is the seat of con- scious mastery.” Mabel came from 1'enn. sev- eral years ago and graduated from this school in the Eighth grade. She was one of our speakers in our victorious de- bate over Albion. She has been a student in the King's School of oratory in I’enn.. and her dramatic powers ar- a great help to both class and society. She has always been an excellent student and her Senior year found her- our validictorian. I.OtlSE WILLIS Can any mortal mixture of earth’s mold IJreathe such divine enchant- ing ravishment? Louise is one of the most loyal and efficient members of the Senior class. She has done tine work in music and art. and to her is due much of the credit for the entertain- ment attending all our social functions. She is an excellent tennis plawr and has so many remarkable qualities that w- expect great things of her in the future. )l At DM 7,0 KFit Too wise to err. too good to be unkind. Maude has the tricks of a treasurer down to a fine point, and her term of office marks a most successful year for the class. 1 ‘.••sides being a work- er. she is prominent socially and very few High School af- fairs are given at which she is not present. We are proud to think of her as our Saluta- torian and are sure that she cannot he anything hut suc- cessful as a school teacher. 1 Alt IE IlltOWV “To get the full value of joy. you must have somebody to «livide it with. Marie is really a Hoosicr maid, but she has lived sev- eral months in the State � f Washington. Sin is frank in -neakiog her mind but changes it so often that no one can get offended. She is a ways loyal- ly present at lass meetings and always has something to say. She once joined a bach- elor girls’ club, but we are afraid we shall lose her. hence the quotation above. KI.MKIt FKKTZ Type of the wise who soar, but never roam.” Hen. a great favorite in the Senior class, began his noble existence on a farm near Auburn. Ever since then he has been clamoring for his rights. He seldom talks, but when he does, he always says something worth while. His jovial disposition makes it very easy for one to become ac- quainted with him. Truly. ‘Twill take a mighty man t .' fill his place. KUVT1IK WIDDK OMI1K If all the joys of life should die. She'd smile 'ere she would heave a sigh.” Edythe came to us from New York, and entered our class late in the Freshman year. She soon convinced us that she was a willing student and won our admiration and respect. She seldom gets angry, and is liked by all who know her. She has held several otlices in thi- class, and is now our ca- pable Editor-in-Chlef. Her services to the class surely cannot be overestimated. vera “Hang sorrow! Care will kill a cat. And therefore let's be merry.” Pete. tlu- nicest bunch of joy in the Senior Class, began her worthv existence near Au- burn. She graduated with honors from the Eighth grade in N w Mexico and now takes part in all class celebrations, working willingly for the good of the class. H -r spe- cialty is that of making life a pleasure for those about her. Trulv. and very trulv it can be said she is no pessimist. IIEI.KX (;0(H) VI So did she travel over Life's common wav That she spread joy and sun- shine like a day in May. Helen, a merry maid, was born on a farm west of Wa- terloo. and is now one of the most popular girls of the W. H. S. She is quite prominent in class affairs, and aUvavs es faithfully the work as- signed her. Alt ho the greater part of her affection is be- stowed elsewhere, she still has some left for the class. She a 1 wavs has a good word for everybody and is well liked by everyone. Kitoi.i. (a siiw “No sinner, nor no Saint, per- haps.

Twelve years ago we started out to school one happy day. Our hearts were glad and happy in a most expectant way. For dreams of childhood now were surely coming true. As we mingled with our playmates and saw the teacher, too. In thru the grades with many a joy we drifted. Leaving many things to do but some wisdom we have sifted. Then we reached the dear old High, and entered. Freshmen gay, Often thinking fun came first, but, say — That phantom thought soon vanished on examination day. Our banner was the biggest that e’er hung upon the wall. And under it we've worked and shirked, together, one and all. Our motto was, “Ever onward, up the current of the stream. nd victory ever beckoned thru the vision as a dream. In our experience together we ever found it so: 'There wasn't any other way, but to just take hold and row. And with the course before us we’ve rowed with all our might. Till at last the bay's before us and the ocean is in s:ght. To those who yet are coming, just a hint thru op.n doors You’ll never “get there. ’ schoolmates, by resting on your oars. The teachers have been kind to us. more kind than we to them: They seemed to understand the way and the tide w 1 had to stem They’ve always been true friends to us. and ever kind. To them God Speed! And many blessings may they find. Their message of brightness and sunshine to our hearts oft wears and cold lias a reflection and blessing that will blossom and never grow old. And thus may we share their gladness with hearts that may need it in life: For gentle words, smiles and laughter are helpful in this world’s strife. To be strong of purpose and heart and keep the upward path. Do our best in the world’s work unmindful of pain and wrath. Thus speed the day for each and all. dear classmates, and as we go We’ll tread with steadfast hearts 1 faith or sight That upward path that leads to truth and ever on to right. For our lives are what we make them, no matter of what life is made The discords of music—the discords of life: in effort life's value is paid. Ignorance is like the darkness of night, but knowledge is the sunshine. When with good common sense it is blended sublime: It also means power and business success when freed from self-pity Then let love and good-will go together, just be cheery and grittv. Louise Willis. T5. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY. In the Fall of 1911, the High School Assembly room was filled to the doors with excited and expectant youngsters. They were a lively bunch of living Frcshies, and not of a very brilliant green, either, tho they had a dazzling effect upon the eyes of the color-blind Seniors. In a very short time they were all comfortably ensconced in their new place and accustomed to all of its rules and usages. This first year passed uneventfully, merely serving as a period for adjusting ourselves to our work. Another year rolled around and we were Sophomores, strutting about in all the glory that the second year demands. Ye were all back at school, with the exception of the average number of “quitters —and immensely refreshed by our summer vacation. Fortune then began to smile on the class and we were all happy. That year came to a brilliant finish, since it left the class endowed with the most marvelous brains and greatest stores of knowledge ever possessed by any class at the end of the Sophomore year. May came and advanced us to Juniors, and we soon gained the reputation of being the liveliest, jolliest, wittiest, most knowing, most independent and most original of any class ever enrolled on the annals of the Y. 11. S. The Seniors, of course, tried to take the glare off so much brilliancy, but did not succeed, naturally. Every single member was conspicuous, and their char- acteristics varied and numerous. Every single one contributed to the wel- fare and success of the class. Thruout the Junior year we developed a most loving regard for our big. beautiful banner of green and white. We were no longer green, but felt that it wouldn’t be quite fair to the Freshmen not to honor the dazzling color. Exams came and left us proud and flourishing, tho’ perhaps a trifle emptv-headed. Our Junior-Senior banquet took everybody by storm, and made them wish it would take place oftener. When the nineteen-fifteens reached the Senior year, their enthusiasm and class spirit were admirable and enviable. Everything was entered upon with the same zest they had always shown. Many difficulties presented them- selves before us and the class would probably have been short-lived had it not been for the rare judgment and unusual personality of Yirg. B. M. And now the Seniors have grown both in stature and wisdom, and feel that they arc fully prepared to cope with the great world before them. SENIOR CLASS SONG. (Tune—‘‘Twenty Froggies Went to School.”) Thirteen Seniors came to school, W ith the purpose to obey the rule. Thirteen Seniors worked real hard, Not one credit from us was barred. Five long months we did our best. Exams all came and we passed the test. Then one more joined with our class, This was Ruth, a fine Senior lass. Fourteen Seniors finishing school, Not one ever acts the fool. Mr. Moudy, grave and stern, Calls our classes in their turn, For we learn our lessons well, As our teachers all can tell. We will soon be leaving you, Then we’ll have to sav “adieu.” TO MY CLASSMATES. Do you remember the care-free abandon, The utter glory in every school day, The merry world too riotous to stand on. When we were Freshmen, in everybody’s way? Do you recall the many great blunders. Which the Sophomore year always brings, The never-ending studies, the glorious blunders, The vivid interest in all sorts of things? Do not forget our Junior year pleasures, Even tho our studies increased. We gained the knowledge that every hour tendered, But our interest in play did not cease! Life is short at best, and as we travel, So many stones lie along our way. So many tangled threads which we must ravel. While there is time, oh. let us play! A Senior. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY. Three years of our High School course gone! Who would believe that we arc su near our goal. As Freshmen we entered the Waterloo High School thirty-five strong. We easily became accustomed to school life and entered readily into all its joys. Under our excellent teachers we could not help but store up plenty of knowledge. Thirty pupils composed our Sophomore class. We chose as our motto, No rown without the dust of labor. and as our colors Cardinal and Steel Gray. ()n the seventh of September. 1914. we entered upon our preesnt dignified portion, as Juniors. Twenty-five now answer our roll call. It has been a profitable year, busy with studies and good times.

Yc. the members of the Sophomore class, started in the Freshman year with twenty-five enrolled. Fourteen of these were graduates of the grammar department f the Waterloo schools, two were from Corunna, and the re- mainder from the country. At the end of two weeks, one boy felt the call of outside duties and with- drew from the class. The vacancy left was filled by the entrance of two new -undents, however, in November, thus bringing our enrollment up to twenty- six. In the early spring two other students withdrew from the class, leaving twenty-four members, the enrollment at the end of the term. In the Sophomore year, the class numbered twenty-three, but one boy left the class, not long after the first of the term, to attend another school. were soon joined by another girl and this brought the enrollment up to twenty-three, the same number with which the Sophomore year was begun.

For the Sophs, and the girls’ tennis champs, May our banner always keep flying, All hope that they never will be tramped. To protect them we’ll do plenty of trying. We still have a rough road before us. May no objects be passed unseen, We hope, and may we ever trust. That we overcome them in seventeen. We are going to live up to our motto.

In 1925 T decided to take a flying trip over some parts of Indiana and neighboring states. I went to Ft. Wayne to take the morning aeroplane from that city. I observed something familiar in the face of the ticket lady, and it was a long time before my memory returned, for 1 knew her to be Lulu Kennedy. We had a short talk, but the aeroplane was ready and I was compelled to leave her. As we neared a small town the machine refused to work, so we descended to earth and were obliged to wait. As 1 was walking around 1 saw two smil- ing young ladies approaching, and as they drew near, one of them called me by name. 1 did not recognize them and was astonished when they told me that they were Faye Till and Audrey Crowl, on their way to Indianapolis to teach school, the former as an English teacher and the latter a master of Latin and German. Together we walked around the machine and observed some men fixing broken wires. The machinist had his back to us as we approached, but when he turned toward us we knew him to be William Smith, lie also recog- nized us and we were soon talking about our class of seventeen. I found out that Alice Ridge and Mary Nodine had gone to China and were enjoying the work very much. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Fritz were travel- ing in Europe. Mrs. Fritz, whose maiden name was Florence Shuster, had written that she was having the time of her life and that she had heard Miss Hazel Marines, the famous violinist, in one of her great musicals in Paris. William informed me that Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kirkpatrick were living in New York, Toe as a teacher of mathematics in Columbia University, and his wife, formerly Dorothy Brown, as leading lady in New York society. The wires had by that time been repaired and we were ready to proceed. We reached Indianapolis in the afternoon and I decided to remain there for a few days. I went to a hotel, engaged a room, and went sight : I rode out to Riverside Park, and since it was so beautiful. I resolved to spend a few hours there. While wandering along, a shadow fell across my path, and looking up, 1 saw a young lady standing before me. and instantly knew her to be Mary McIntosh. T learned in a few minutes’ conversation with her that she was on her wedding tour, her husband being a Waterloo gentleman. She told me that Waldo Bowman was General of one of the armies along the coast. She also said that Clarence Bowers was the owner of one of the largest ranches in the west, and was very wealthy, being a bachelor. Since it was getting late, T went back to mv hotel. T decided to go to the theater in the evening, and as T entered T noticed a bill statin that the great- est soprano singer in. the world would sing there that nifdit. When she finallv appeared who did T sec but my old classmate, Jean Grimm. T was indeed glad to know that she had succeeded so well in her musical career. The next morning T took the second aeroplane out of Indianapolis and for half a day we flew along, going to earth now and then for supplies. At noon we stopped at Chicago, where I stayed a few days. As T was gob- -- the tcp« to the Union depot, T pAMcd n young Indy whom T recognized ne Willo Hinman. She also knew me and we stopped and chatted. I learned that she was going to take up a position as music teacher in the high school She also told me that Thelma Kbcrly and Ethel Baker were living together in a small town in southern Georgia, and that Howard Dilgard was president of one of the largest clubs in New York City. Frances Baxter and Daisy Brown were traveling with a chautauqua, Frances a Violinist and Daisy as pianist and soprano singer. I was pleased to hear that my classmates had succeeded so well. That evening I picked up a paper, and the hrst thing 1 noticed were these words, in big headlines, “Charles 'fill. Famous Idol. Heir to Two Million Dollars.” I was very surprised to see that, but was very glad that he had been so fortunate. The next afternoon I started on my return trip. I reached home in a few days and was able to say that I had enjoyed my journey very much, since ! had heard of many of my old classmates of ‘17. They had all succeeded very well in their various careers, as they were destined to do from the be- ginning. Vera Xodine, '17. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY. ( n the 17th of September thirty-one frightened, ignorant freshmen en- tered the Y. II. S. Five of these were from Corunna and the remaining twentv-six from Waterloo and vicinity. As the week rolled by we became accustomed to our strange surroundings and began to feel more at home. From the thirty-one members, only twenty-nine assembled after the Christmas vacation, two of them having moved to other cities. And sad to relate, two others dropped from the ranks just before exam ination time, but the class is still large, consisting of twenty-seven members, and we hope that next year, on looking over the room, we may see all these familiar faces that compose the present freshman class.

In the summer of 1940 it was my good fortune to learn the fate of those !air damsels and gallant young men who were once happy classmates of mine in dear old Waterloo High school. It came about in this way: While traveling about. 1 stopped at Rangoon, India, where 1 entered a novelty shop. 1 saw there a machine which aroused my curiosity very much and led me to ask the clerk what it was. He told me that if any question (in the past, present or future) was asked in the small horn, a scene would appear in the glass, which would answer the question. 1 pur- chased the wonderful machine and took it to my room. Naturally my first question was. “W here are my classmates and what are the} doing? ’ As the horn received the query, I heard a buzzing and a humming sound, and presently beheld an odd picture in the glass. The 'ccnc was of a small village in Arkansas, where, in front of the store, was written “James Carper. Dry Goods. Notions. Groceries, etc.” I looked cl -er and saw behind the counter a small man with a tiny, corkscrew mus- tache. whom 1 recognized as my old classmate. Harry Bowers. As this scene faded, I saw another and a more beautiful one. It was . 1--W valley, where a slow freight train was puffing along, and as it passed. 1 noticed in a side door Pullman a gentleman whom I knew to be my old classmate W alter Michael, seemingly taking it easy. My gaze fell upon an entirely different picture of a happy wedding party, and there 1 recognized my old friend. John Moore, now a prominent minister of Detroit, uniting in marriage Miss Hazel E. Edwards and Henry Nodi tie. I closed my eyes for a minute and when I opened them again I saw Mi Bessie Ingcrsoll conducting a singing school in Dallas, Texas. I also tw there my old friend, Frank Forrest, who seemed to be an assistant tutor. As another scene came into view I rejoiced to see my hapny classmate. Pat McC’onathy, making a stirring suffragette speech before the United States senate. He was favored with much applause and many cheers. The 't ene changed again and I saw a grand opera in New York Citv. where a man was screeching and howling as if trying to sing. W ho could ;t be but my former friend and classmate. Joe Miser? 1 then saw a happy family sitting around the fireplace. It was none other than Frank Shomberg. who had married Jessie Kissabcrth. In the next room I aw a trained nurse, whom 1 recognized as W ilma Thomas, holding in her rm- •-nr of the little Shommies, which was evidently a howling success. I next oh- rved a grand marble mansion in Corunna. Descending the wid 'tep with a haughty air I beheld Robert Reynolds, dressed in the latent style, lie was the same old Bobbie, however, and I could not help wishing that I could speak to him. The next scene was that of an imposing building in Chicago, in front of which was placed a large sign reading: “Messrs. Chas. Kalb and Creighton Showers, Powder, Perfumery, Etc.” Both of the proprietors stood in the doorway and looked just as mischievous as ever. Then on the screen was shown a doctor's office in which Harley Gushwa seemed to preside. In the next room sat a motherly little lady, knitting. She was probably his wife, for as I looked closer 1 knew her to be Helen Monroe. Then a small town came into view. The first thing I noticed was a large bill posted to a tree, and reading Prof. Chas. McIntosh, Great Magi- cian, and Mrs. Lydia Wines McIntosh, in her one-act drama, ‘The Moun- taineer ” Then I beheld in a crowded train Mr. Lynn Arthur and Miss Gladys Moore, about to start on a long journey. By the size and number of their trunks I supposed them to be on their honeymoon, though they had been a a long time deciding that they needed each other. Who did I then sec but my old chum. McBride, the world’s greatest automobile racer? He had overcome all the racers of the day and easily held the world’s record. Then I observed Wilbur E. Bowman, dressed in military uniform, march- ing away toward scenes of war and in search of fame. One glance at his fine bearing assured me that he would easily distinguish himself in the battle- fields. Just then the machine failed to work and I could not see my fate. But let us believe as Longfellow: “Trust no future, how’er pleasant Let the dead past bury its dead; Act—act in the living present; Heart within and God overhead.” DARREL SMITH. 18.

The spirit of the Zcdadlethean Literary Society has from the beginning been earnest and enthusiastic, and the prospects, at the present tune, are bright for its permanence and advancement. The officers elected for the first semester were as follows: President, Virgil Johnson: Secretary and Treasurer, Lynn Crooks: and tor the second semester. President. Ethel Girardot; Secretary and Treasurer, Waldo Bow- man. All these officers have performed their various weighty duties to tile- best of their ability and the highest degree of efficiency. The programs of this society are given every six weeks and are very instructive and entertaining. In short, it is our object to secure an opportunity for development of such powers as we may possess and thus to increase our capacity for useful- ness and also pleasure in life. Faithful Members of the Zedalethean Society. Members of the Faculty, Friends and Schoolmates: To me has been given the highest honor of the Z. L. S., and since you have put your trust in me. 1 will endeavor to perform the duties of this office to the best of my ability. The office involves many responsibilities, and though small, yet combined they form tine great responsibility, which can easily be overcome by your putting forth your best efforts. I assure you that 1 will do all I can to maintain the standard of the society, but the real success depends upon two things: First: Co-operation. If you will look back over the history of the Zeda- lethean Society you will find that its success has been due largely to the hearty co-operation of its members. Second: You will also find that its members have not been urged to do the work assigned them, but have willingly fulfilled the requirements, and I hope that this will be the case in the future. Summing all up. we find that the secret of success lies in those two things, viz.: co-operative effort and willingness to do work, and since I have the lib- erty. I entreat and urge you to maintain them. The future of the society depends upon you, fellow members, and I am safe in saying that all of you would have it only at its best. Through the pres- ent growing personal effort and co-operative spirit the society is bound to reach it zenith and through patriotism and fidelity maintain this standard of perfection. In closing I wish to thank the Zedalethean Society for the honor they have done me ami the trust they have put in me, and again I assure you that I will put forth mv best efforts to raise the standard of the society to its maximum height. ' VIRGIL JOHNSON, T5. ESTELLE WILTROUT. Pres (Retired) JOE BOWMAN, President. WILBUR BOWMAN, Secy. FRED EBERLV, Secy. (Retired) Honored Members of the Faculty. Members of the Zcdalethcan Literary Society, and Friends: I feel that it is a proper and genuine duty to make a few brief remarks before entering fully upon the duties of this oftice. I cannot help but feel it an honor to be elected and on this day inaugurated as the pilot of this worthy literary society. Although this office was unsolicited by me, and since you have seen lit to place me therein of your own accord, my loyalty for me society and my sense of duty prompt me to assure you of my most sincere thanks for this high esteem. I not only assure, but promise, you that 1 wifi serve you as a society to the best of my ability. It is reasonably clear to every individual present that the object, the pur- pose. of this society, and of our sister society, is to cultivate and develop the literal v talents that God has so graciously endowed us with. In order to accomplish this end it devolves upon every individual member of this society to do his very level best and thus show his enthusiasm, his loyalty in rightly doing his duty. It seems that nearly all of my predecessors have appealed for co-operative effort, but this 1 will not do in a strict sense of the word. 1 have thought of a new plan which I tirml hope will merit, and of itself receive, your hearty support. It is this: That I place every member of this society upon his own honor. I repeat it. I place every member of this society upon his own honor. 1 will refrain from going into detail in explaining the meaning of this, for 1 know that each and every one here knows what it is to be trusted and placed upon his own honor. 1 am sure of this because (iod gave every one ot us a conscience and 1 am sure that our own conscience is better aware of what honor means than we ourselves do. This may perhaps be termed fig- urative. but nevertheless it well conveys the message 1 have for you so long as this society shall live In conclusion permit me to make you fully aware of the responsibility which I have just now settled upon you. and then, if heeded and all have done their verv best. I assure vou of unlimited success and a name worthy of our Dear Old High School. ' ETHEL GIRARDOT, T5. TRIBUTE TO THE SOCIETIES. 'flic societies arc benefactors, That we gladly praise. For breaking the monotony ()f the school’s dull days. The officers are of the best. Thcv arc both witty and wise. And the programs given We cannot criticize. If von search the wide world over t last you would have to cry “There are no such societies Outside of the Waterloo High.” THE CICERONIAN SOCIETY. The preceding school year lias been of seemingly insurpassablc success, both for ourselves and our opponents. So nobly and unhesitatingly did the members co-operate with their leaders in performing the tasks given them, that we feel very exultant over our success. The standard of our success and the success of any organization can only be measured by the advancement and accomplishments of its predecessors; therefore we believe that inasmuch as we have advanced the quality and originality of our programs, we have been successful. During the first semester Messrs. Wiltrout and Fberly controlled and very ably presided over the administrative duties entrusted to them. During the second semester Messrs. Joe and Wilber Bowman succeeded to the re- spective chairs of President and Secretary and fulfilled their duties with no less fidelity than their predecessors. Members of the Ciceronian Literary Society, Faculty and Friends: As I enter upon my duties as President of this society. I desire to thank the Ciceronians for the office they have bestowed upon me, and I do solemnly promise that I will enter upon the work with a determination to keep the society up to its standard and improve it to the best of my ability. But to do this. Fellow Ciceronians, 1 must have the support of every one of you, which I am sure you will willingly give. This is one of the many things that have been repeatedly impressed upon you, and 1 am sure it will not be necessary to state it again. No man or organization was ever successful without system, and so it is with our society. We cannot expect to give and prepare programmes that deserve honor and credit, without having a systematic way of proceeding. All I ask. therefore, is Sincerity to yourself, Good-will toward your school and Loyalty to your society. JOE BOWMAN, 16. Fcliow Ciceronians. Faculty, and Friends: It is upon this occasion that I wish to thank vou for the honor you have given me. It has been the custom of former Presidents to make lengthy speeches comparing this societv to numerous things, but I sav that the Ciceronian Society is incomparable. We make it so. Allow me to say here and now that we will make the Ciceronian Literarv Societv the greatest, the grandest, the best. FSTELLF W IL I ROL I . 16. BLUE SERGE. For ten years Mrs. Emma McChcsncy’s home had been a wardrobe trunk. She had taken her family life at second hand. Four nights out of seven her bed was lower eight and her breakfast a cinder-strewn, lukewarm horror, taken tete-a-tete with a sleepv-eyed stranger and presided over by a white-coated, black-faced bandit to whom a coffee-slopped saucer was a matter of course. It had been her habit, during those ten years on the road as traveling saleswoman for the T. A. Buck Fcatherbloom Petticoat Company to avoid the discomfort of the rapidly chilling car by slipping early into her berth. There in kimona, if not in comfort, she would shut down the electric light with a snap, raise the shade, and watch the little towns go bv. All through the long years of up-hill pull, from the time she started with a humble salary in the office, to the day when she had been made secre- tary t the prosperous linn of T. A. Buck, there was a minor but fixed am- bition in her heart. The same ambition may he found in the heart of every woman win se morning costume is a tailored suit, whose newspaper must he read hurriedly on the way downtown in a crowded car and to whom 9 a. m. spells “business.” For twenty years Emma McChesney used to say, “I’ve never known what it is to loll in leisure. I've never even had a chance to luxuriate in Sunday. To a working woman. Sunday is for repairing the ravages of the other six days. Emma had transformed the T. A. Buck Fcatherbloom Petticoat Company from a placidly mediocre concern to a thriving, nationally known institution. That might have turned another woman’s head. It only served to set Emma McChesney’s more splendidly on her shoulders. “I inma. Buck had said just before their marriage, “what is the arrange- ment to be—after—” Just what it is now. I suppose,” Emma had replied,” except that we ll go down to the office together.” He had regarded her thoughtfully for a long minute. Then, “Emma, for three months after our marriage will you try being just Mrs. T. A. Buck? “You mean no factory, no dictation, no business bothers!” Her voice was a rising scale of surprise. lu-t try it for three months with the privilege of a lifetime if you like it I'd like to see you in our home when I leave. Emma, and I'd like to have you there when I come home. 1 suppose 1 sound like a selfish Turk, but-—” “You sound like a regular husband.” Emma had interrupted.” Now listen. T. A. For three months I'm going to be what the novels call a doll- wife. I'm going to meet you even- night when you come home with a rose in mv hair and dressed in pink, with lace ruffles. Don’t you know I’ve been longing to do just those very things for years? Ever since I can remember T’ve been so busv that it has been a question of getting the best possible garments in the least possible time for the smallest possible sum. In that rase one gets blue serge. I’ve worn blue serge until it feels like a convict’s uniform. But it’s a bargain. Shake hands on it.” They shook hands solemnly. As they did so a faint shadow of doubt hovered far, far back in the depths of T. A. Buck's fine eyes, and a faint, in scrutable smile lurked in the corners of Emma’s lips. She had never been a woman to do things by halves. What she under- took to do she did thoroughly and applied this principle to her new mode of life as rigidly as she had to the old. The first month slipped magically by. Kmma was tin� much of a woman not to feel a certain thrill of pleasure in the selection of delicate and becoming fabrics, and in being able to spend an hour curled up in a b’g easy chair with a book or magazine. One evening she met T. A. at the door, wearing a charming new gown, and asked him how he liked it. “You’re wonderful in it, said T. A. “But. say. Emma, where’s that blue thing you used to wear—the one with the white collar and cuffs and the little blue hat with the what-cha-ma-call-ems on it?” “W hy, T. A. that was worn threadbare in the office. “Oh ' said Buck “too bad! There was something about that dress—1 don't know—’’ The second month was spent in society, and Emma, well dressed, intelli- gent, became very popular at all social affairs. Here they talked on nearly every topic, from suffrage to salad dressing and from war to the weather, but never about business. And Emma's life had been interwoven with busi- ness for almost fifteen years! After dinner on the last of the three months, Emma gave a happy sigh. “And to think that I once envied the women who had nothing to do but the things I’ve done in the last three months! Buck rose and came over to where she sat. “Emma. I have mentioned this once or twice before, but perhaps vou will still be interested to know that I think you’re a wonder. A wonder.” “Oh, well, we won’t quarrel about that,” smiled Emma. Suddenly a new idea seemed to strike her. She ran down the hall and disappeared. Buck, following in a leisurely manner, hands in pockets, stood in the bedroom door and watched her plunge into the innermost depths of the clothes closet. “What’s the idea, Emma? “Looking for something. lie was answered in muffled tones. A long pause. “Can I help? “I’ve got it!’’ cried Emma. She emerged from the cWhos closet flushed but triumphant, smilingly holding a garment at arms length and a small object aloft. “What— “Kmma shook the garment vigorously and held it up under her chin, and perched the small object on top of her head. “Why!” exclaimed Buck, grinning. “It’s the—” “The blue serge. Emma finished for him. “with the white collar and cuffs! And the little blue hat with the what-cha-ma-call-ems on it. And, praise be, I’m wearing ’em both down town tomorrow morning.” Mary McIntosh, ’17. ATHLETICS. T - re : s r.: cause :: r w rry . er the “deplorable condition of Athletics in the W. H.

THE SENIOR PLAY. The Senior Play was a great success, dramatically, artistically and finan ciallv. It was called “Mrs. Briggs of the Poultry Yard. and was under the direction of Mrs. Ilipps, of King’s School of Oratory. Pittsburg, Pa. Even the expectations of the most optimistic people could not have come up to the real success of the play. Surmounting every variety of difficulties, most of which came within a few hours immediately preceding the presenta- tion of the play, the management and cast cannot be given too much credit for the work. From the time the play began to the last resounding echo, the audience was held spellbound in a continuous state of rapture and awe. Even the Seniors were quite hypnotized by its glory and nearly forgot their parts. Altogether the play was a grand success, and was thought so by cvery- bodv. and even by the modest Seniors themselves. SOCIETY. So many social affairs have taken place in the last year that we thought you would like to hear about them. At Hallowe’en, the Sophomores and Seniors together gave a masquerade reception to the Juniors. Freshmen and Faculty. Nearly the whole school, in the shape of clowns, darkies, animals, and even Uncle Sam. was present to participate in the festivities. The rooms were beautifully and appropriately decorated, and the luncheon served was in harmony with the occasion. Many stories of a blood-curdling nature were told, after which the company broke up and went, shivering and fearful, home, keeping a sharp lookout on the way, naturally. Sad to relate, the next social affair, which was attempted bv the Seniors, did not prove the brilliant success it was planned to be. The night was cold and rainy, and everybody was afraid to venture out in it. but three of the more reckless, with more courage than sense, sallied forth on the evening of the intended “dog-roastand had what they styled “the time of their lives.” The chaperon did not appear, but was not needed, for the party of three girls got along very well alone. The Junior and Freshmen classes made one of the dreary February even- ings lively by honoring the Seniors and Sophomores at a reception given at the high school. An interesting program was given in the assembly room, featured by Crooks. Wines and Wiltrout. who proved themselves quite equal to the occasion of standing up before their audience and acting with their best and choicest flourishes. The rest of the evening was spent most enjoy- able in games and feasting. The refreshments were exquisite and admirably served by the Junior girls. Every one had a perfectly grand time from start to finish, even the teachers and poor unfortunates who had to make speeches. The “Watermelon Feast,” as the Juniors saw fit to call it, came off one moonlight evening in October. The chaperons in evidence throughout the evening were Misses Crary. Williams and Richards, who proved the best of company. The table” at the beginning of the feast was groaning with its weighty load, and near the end nearly flew away, so light was its burden. Indeed, it would have disappeared if there had been the slightest breeze to -et it in motion. The Juniors all reported a lovely time, and the truth of this was found in their sleepy faces and brilliant lessons the next morning. Late in March the Junior “Straw Ride” occurred. According to the imagination they rode on straw all the way from Waterloo to Wine’s home. Miss Kroft chaperoned the party, and allowed them to stay until a late hour, and as a consequence a few of them were absent from school the following morning. Every one had a good time and the “Straw Ride” was counted a great success. Those Juniors, forever trying to do something original, decided to en- tertain themselves one snowy evening in January by a sleigh ride. They went to the Tabernacle services at Auburn, sat in the back of the room, and behaved beautifully, of course. Their chief amusement in the “bob,” how- ever. seemed t be making noise enough to scare any prowling animals away. Everyone enjoyed their little trip very much, and boasted that it did them “a world of good.” One nice evening in October the Freshmen had a little party, held in the woods. According to the testimony of the children who attended this “most lovely entertainment,” everything was “grand.” The decorations were exquisite, the refreshments gorgeous. It was a “real” marshmallow toast. The evening wa enjoyed by playing games and eating, naturally. The chil- dren played manv tame games, and maybe, for all we know, tliev had a little gam - of “p«. t-office” on the side. The nurses. Miss Crary and Miss ittmer, felt that the children would be tired the next day, after their strenuous evening, so they sent them home about eleven o’clock. THE RIP VAN WINKLE WINKLER.

The most thrilling song service oc- curred (lurin' opening exercises one Fridy morn in’ in Sunny April. First on the beginnin' of the affair up rose the Seniors, one and all. and sung their little song. They were clapped up again and sung a song without making any noise. Next on the bill o’ fare came the Fresh men and they kep the pianner warm for a space In rendurin’ a very touching epistle 215. They were unanimously all so un- dignified in the knees that they couldn’t rise up to answer the call- back. which the audience give by clapping their hands. Now for the extry part. Up stood the Juniors, them being next in the show, and lined up in three tears. Agin’ and agin’ they were called back by the excited mob. Their last selecslum was Farewell to the Seniors and they seemed so awful touched ta see the dear Seniors go that soon the hull audience was in tears. The sobs of the Seniors were so heart-rending that thev went uptown and disa- peered fthe sobs did), The Sophs next delivered two very appropriate songs about the Juniors, and in re- turn got a vote of thanks. Then came the Faculty. Thev sail “Good Morning” to the “children.” as they called ’em and said “We’re glad to leeve you now.” Altogether it was an occasion long to be remem- bered. SPESHIAL NOTISES.

A MORRUL. The kind-heartedest elephant in the world was walking in the jungle, in the place where the soft breezes blow, when she heedlessly and need- lessly set her foot upon a little inno- cent partridge. The place where this was did was a few inches from the nest where the little brood wa$ waiting. The big generous elephant then turned and said to herself, “Poor little things! I’ve been a mother myself and my affeeshun shall attonc for the fatal conse- quences of my neglect. My astral elf was merely enjoying a mental joy ride.” So saying she sat plumb flown on them abandoned birds. Moral: What's given above tccchcs us what home is without a mother. EDITORIAL. We’ve been bearin’ a lot nowadays about this hear Europcen war. Now, 1 ain’t seen nothing of that there ani- mal and would like to know some- thing about him. They tell me that all the leadin’ countries are fightin’ and what for is more than I know. Maybe it’s power they want, or land, but it apeers to me that they got too many fellers over there and are dyiif’ to kill some of them off. We arc ex- pectin' to see one of them torpedo boats flvin’ over us any day, but if they drop any of them pesky tor- pedos on us and seriusly kill any of us, beyond recovering, they’ll be somethin' doin’. Why, we’re sendin’ them autymobuls now, tho what they want them creturs to fight to- gether for is more than 1 know. Now we’re sendin’ them things to cat, but that’s got more sense, for a fightin’ man generally needs somethin’ to keep him alive.

(ias: A convenience used often and fluently by bluffers in all studies. Lessons: That which everyone likes but seldom gets.

TstO ?h trg PSALM ON A FORD. The Ford is my auto, I shall not want another. It maketh me to lie down beneath it: it sorroweth my soul. It leadeth me into the paths of ridicule, for its name's sake. Yea, though I ride through the valley, I am towed up the hills, for ! fear much tire trouble. Thy rod and thy engine, they trouble me. I anoint thy tires with patches; thy radiator runneth over. I prepare for a blow-out in the presence of my best girl. Surely if this thing follows me all the days of my life. I will dwell in the bug-house forever. THE FORD’S CHAMPION. The man who buys a motor car, But first the price must borrow, W ill never travel very far Before lie meets with sorrow. 11 is punishment begins indeed. When it is his desire To show his friends a bit of speed And “Blooey” goes a tire. And when lie’s got some friends way out To some far forest scene His gladness is all put to rout By lack of gasoline. ANSWER TO ABOVE. You may be right in what you wrote, Of troubles there’s a horde, lint boys, they’ll never gel. MY goat I’m gonna get a Ford! A PATHETIC TALE.

Up to Migulinskaia came a Russian bold one day. And the streets were paved with gold, so every one was gay. Singing songs of Sarpulhow. and of Kaminlcts Podopped. bill Ivanhoe got excited, and his voice could not be stopped. “It’s a long way to Ivanovo-vosnescnsk, It’s a lung way to go: It’s a long way to Ivanovo-vosnescnsk.

Colby . . . Fred Kberlcv ......Carl Celts Estelle Wilt rout . . . Joe Bowman Once only did it pass my way. And then went quickly, like a rav. It left one token of its stay! It was the flitting letter “A.” QUAKER MEDITATIONS. The student’s empty head is easily wrinkled into furrows that look just like deep thought. The Ignoramus and the Bluffer count each other fools, am', both right about it. Everybody is queer but thee and me, and sometimes thee is a little queer. Money makes the mare go, and the automobile makes the money go. Many young men looking for wives pass right through a peach orchard and pitch their tents in a lemon grove. The man halted on the third base to congratulate himself and failed to make a home run. He laughs best who can laugh at a joke when it is on himself. Mused the Freshman: “Oh, it's awful to be green—but it's worse to be dried up.” Some people practice what they preach, But it’s a lead-pipe cinch They preach to others by the yard, And practice by the inch. Some mean old maid, without a doubt. Who never tasted bliss. Was the first to start that scare about The microbes in a kiss. THE FRESHMAN Nothing to do but study, Nothing to eat but food ; Nothing to wear but clothes. And strut about like a dude. Nothing to breathe but air. Quick as a flash ’tis gone: Nowhere to fall but off. Nowhere to stand but on. Nothing to sing but songs. Ah. well, alas, alack! Nowhere to go but out. Nowhere to come but back. Nothing to sec but sights, w Everything moves that goes; Nothing at all but common sense Can ever withstand these woes! TO THE SENIORS Somebody stole the Juniors' song, Which, of course, was very wrong. Somebody didn’t sing it before the school, Giving the Juniors time to cool. Was that somebody you? Dear High School, move on as before, ()thcrs will take the places vacated by us. There shall they find, 'mid life’s perplexities The golden pathway to success. THE STUDENT’S SONG I’d rather fail than have it said 1 passed by bluffing or deceit; I want no “A” upon my report card If in winning it I have to cheat. I'd rather have my school-mates sneer And call me quitter, coward—yes I’d rather stand to see them laugh Than fraudulently gain success. For winning isn’t all of school: Success is stamped upon the soul: I’d rather falter in the strife Than cunningly attain my goal. You ask me what is the difference, Why, really, you're obtuse! The Senior sings, “Ob. what’s the odds? The Freshman, “What’s the use? Pat-a-cakc, pat-a-cake, baker’s man, Learn your lessons just as quick as you can. The teachers will hear them and mark them “D, And you’ll be in the same class with Bill and me. REMORSE! What haunts us now that our four years are done And the days of our school life grow few— The things that we did? Yes, but greater by far The things that wc did not do! FRESHIE LATIN VERBS.

She thinks of dropping Latin And all her friends concur, For, knowing her, they quite agree One tongue’s enough for her. ■ She was very tenderhearted And when sewing she would cry Because she could not bear to stick Thread in the needle's eye. “What is space?” the teacher asked, The trembling Freshman said: “I cannot think of it just now. But I have it in my head.” Sing a song of fifty cents. A paper full of joy. One fine annual every year, A gift without alloy. When the pages open, our Hearts begin to sing. Isn't fifty cents on time a fig For such a thing? I love to write the joyous wheeze Which in mv brain has risen : But gridirons hot await the geeze Who palms it off as “liis’n.” Mary had a little lamb, A little was enough Because the piece that Mary had Was so all-fired tough. SONG OF A FRESHMAN. Now I lay me down to sleep, Down in my little cot: To pray that 1 may die tonight. And save a “bawling out ’ There is a young lady named Brown Who may always be seen in the town She has a trailer who never fails her, His name is Smith—of great renown Caesar’s dead and buried. The same with Cicero; And where those two nice men have gone 1 wish their books would go TO THE FRESHMEN. By thy school’s laws learn to live, And if the Sophs make fun of thee, take no heed; And if the Juniors tease thee, have no care, Learn thou thy lessons and do thy deeds, Make thyselves famous for fame is rare. SENSIBLE CLUB OF THE W. H. S. MEMBERS. Do you ki ow any of them ? The Freshmen we love with devotion. For the Sophs it never will fade; We admire the big class of 1916; But the Seniors throw all in the shade! DEDICATION TO LATIN. Those are dead who wrote it, Those are dead who spoke it, Those must die who learn it, Oh ! Happy death ! They surely earn it. AN IMAGINARY JOURNEY. “Old woman! Old woman! Oh, whither so high?” I sang. “To sweep the cob-webs off the sky,” replied a voice close to my head, and looking up I saw the original old woman herself. “Oh!” I gasped, “where did you come from?” “ hat's that to you. ” she replied. “It’s enough for you to know that I am tired of sweeping the cob-webs off the sky. and today I mean to have some help.” So saying, she caught me up, and away we went soaring toward the milky way “You may begin on the southwest corner of the moon,” she informed me, “and don’t mind anything the old man in the moon may say or do.” ith that she left me standing gazing at a very cob-webbed corner of that uninhabited planet. From the amount of rubbish piled there, you would have thought it was the attic, tilled with all the cast-off furniture of the gods and goddesses of Olympus There was Pandora’s box of troubles, left there for the last million years, and Mercury's wings, which he had no use for. since he now goes in an airship. The golden chariot of the sun god. discarded for the more up-to- date automobile, and many other similar things, were there. I fell to work, but soon became tired, and began to pitch some of the worthless junk into the milky way. But as luck would have it. 1 splashed some of it onto the man, and all at once 1 was confronted by the angry old gentleman, who picked me up and flung me oil the moon, down, down, until at last I landed on my own door- step.

HAZEL FLYNN, Librarian ■1' Wl CANTATA. Just before Christmas, a choral society was formed for the purpose of preparing and staging a dramatic cantata. This society had a membership of thirty-one. The cantata. “Saul, King of Israel. was chosen. On account •f the prolonged epidemic of mumps and la grippe, practice was greatly interfered with, making it necessary to set the date for rendering it as late as May 6th. On that date the cantata was successfully presented in the Town Hall. The dramatis personae were as follows: David ............... Jonathan............. Michal............... Samuel .............. Saul................. Abigail ............. Messenger of Comfort Heralds.............. Witches................ G. K. Roop was director of the society in the preparation of the work, and Helen Goodwin and Joe Bowman were the accompanists. This cantata takes up the story of the first king of Israel with the rebuke he received from the Lord through the aged prophet Samuel, in connection with his victory over the Amalekites. It deals with the consequences of his disobedience in not destroying their king and the best of their cattle. His .......Carl Getts ....LcRoy I lamp ....Neal la Becker ....Arthur Smith ......G. E.

Me is succeeded as king b David, who has at all times maintained toward Saul itntude of true friendship. Prominent in the story are the loyalty and friendship that Jonathan and Michael hear toward David. W hile the cantata doe- not follow the Bible story literally and in. detail, it presents the principal characters and the most significant events connected v ith. Saul's reign, in such a manner as to leave in the minds of those singing cry • i«i and I; -ting impression of that portion of the history of Israel which has constituted the subject matter f the International Sunday School lessons for the past several weeks. ART. For a long time drawing and painting were considered the finishing louche- in school work, hut now educators realize that it requires as much thought am! care to draw a Howcr accurately as to solve a problem in mat lie- in tic- W ith this realization, art work is becoming a subject valued the •same as other studies. Not all of us have the ability to paint a pretty picture, and the object of thi- urse in the public school i- not to train the artist, but the people who • ill u-e the artists’ productions. Art has come to mean much more than just the paintings th; t we hang on the walls of our homes. It has to do with verythmg around i r h uses, t’licir surroundings, their arrangement and furnishings, the clothe- that we wear, and even the books that we read—in fact anything that deals with arrangement spacing or color harmonies. W ith thi- in mind, we start the work in the lower grades with crayola Ira wings ami paper cutting. The work as far as possible is from objects placed them or from imagination, using subjects the children know ut and an understand. In the seventh grade the students take up water -i � r ami object drawing, while design and imaginary work are continued. This year n w line of work was taken up in the upper grades—raffia : ! reed basketry. The children’s interest in this shows the results. In the High School the first year students start with work in charcoal,— object drawing in design, and later copies in black and white. From this they go t'- water color work, beginning with the theory of color. T • ml ear i- devoted to advanced water color work, both from -indie- and eopir- In the third year pastel is the medium and many pretty pi'-’ur - re-ult fr« m thi- The last year the students try another medium— oil, working both from studies and copies. This last is unusual for school work and our pupils appreciate it. MARIAN CRARY. SEPTEMBER. Monday, 7—“Hark. I hear the school bell ringing. Sounding out the morning call.

REMARKS ON THE COURSE OF STUDY. While the Waterloo High School maintains a standard four years’ course ' :h • repares for college entrance, we are not unmindful of the great num- ber that can n ‘.t go away to enter the higher institutions of learning, and. we frer a course in Manual Training. Agriculture, and Commer- ■ v. : r the boys, and a course in Domestic Science and Domestic Art r the girls. The student i' a social and biological creature as well as an animal that Tin learn. All hh interests, Dowers and instincts should, therefore, be • ' zc ' in the : r f education. It has been shown that the student can etter i tr : t • the world • •: knowledge and things thru his activitv r : experience than thru the avenue of books: that constructive work - tivates all the -ther scho l work. This gives justification for the indus- trial and vocational work in the school. Furthermore, nature study, agriculture, drawing, hand work, manual training. ! me-tic science and a study of the household arts, help to over- came the isolation which at present exists between school and life. If rightly «tu lie : :h— ub; .-ct have :in educational value equal if not superior to most ;: the trad: .:. ns’, school subjects. In addition, they give pupils help in making CLASS IN MANUAL TRAINING CLASS IN DOMESTIC SCIENCE i a right and intelligent choice of an occupation. It is not the thought that the vocational work should supplant or cripple the fundamental work of the public school. A command of English, a mas- ♦cry of number relations, the ability to express one’s thoughts in writing or drawing and design, is as much needed for success in :i future vocation or trade as i- the plane by the carpenter or trowel by a mason. Again, the natural, healthy growth and development of the child, both physical and mental, is as necessary for making a skilled worker and an efficient citizen as the vocational training given in a special school or apprentice shop. Habits of healthful activity, right habits of thinking and working, the power t observe and control all parts of the body quickly and accurately — these are universal tools necessary for every occupation or trade. Any defect here means that there is no basis for the future education and training to rest on. ur idea of the aim and purpose of the public school is becoming en- larged. The idea that the school should not lead more directly toward the professional than toward the industrial and every day occupations in which m 't •■! our people are engaged, is becoming general. W e have determined t enlarge and readjust our public school system, so that it will serve all the people, providing an opportunity for each pupil to receive all the formal edu- cation ami in addition give him help and direction in fitting himself for profitable employment. A. L. MOUDY, Superintendent. DOMESTIC SCIENCE. I believe that there is no training that is of more purpose in the lives of girls than this science, which is the meeting point of many sciences, and to which we give the name Home Economics. I hope the students in this department have realized that the facts they have been accumulating are merely tools to help them in their life’s work The education that we receive at school does not make us broad or great. It merely gives us the tools by which we may achieve broadness or greatness. It must first be assimilated and become something vital before we can give vision and inspiration to others, and it seems to me that this is the purpose t all education, along whatever lines it may be. Some may find this vision ■ Mathematics, some may get it in Manual Training, while others may find it in Home Economics. Therefore it is not fair to say that some subjects are cultured, while •thers are a mere training by which we may gain a livelihood. Dean Liberty Hyde Bailey, one of the foremost men in agriculture in this country, when '••mcone asked that more attention be given in our agricultural colleges, said: An iltural college i- not for the purpose of training men thru agri- culture.” The same may be said of Home Economics. It not only trains the -tudent in a subject in which she is rightfully interested, but gives her knowl- edge that she mav use everv dav in the home. O • • • j It i- right that the student should be interested in this subject. It is fundamental. To her it may be the most important thing in the world. I believe that there is nothing better toward which to aim than those things included under the term Home Economics. FLORENCE WILLIAMS. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION I)R. J. E. SHOW ALTER President MRS. C.
