(i THE ORACLE. As her presence at homo was necessary, she secured the position which she now holds and altho her stay with us lias been of short duration, she has proved herself a competent teacher and trusted friend. Therefore it is with sadness that we bid her farewell and as our Patron Saint said, we wish her success and happiness in her future life. E. L., ’12. MISS BARNES. Carolyn F. Barnes, who was graduated from Oswego Normal and Cornell University, has been a member of the Watkins High School faculty for seven years, where she lias won much fame and renown as a teacher of mathematics and French. Miss Barnes has taken a great interest in the welfare of her pupils, always being ready and willing to grant a favor when it lies within her power to do so and by so doing she has won the love and admiration of all and the pupils know that in her they have won a true friend. To our regret we understand she is not going to be with us another year, and the greatest success in whatever she may undertake is wished by her many friends. S. 1). R. and M. G.
