Above the hum and confusion of the upper classmen greeting one another, Mr. German could be heard at the Main Room desk tinkling his little bell. Gradually the hum of voices ceased; nothing could be heard but the excited gasps of the awed Freshmen. A preliminary cough and wordse-words in a deep voice ever falling upon their ears. A blur of duties, privileges and pleasures extending through the limitless period of four years was being unrolled before them. The bell clanged-the upper classmen confidently made their way through the well known corridors, and the dazed Freshmen followed at their heels. Curtain. Act 1. Scene 1. Main Room. Some weeks later. A Freshman class meeting was being held. With disregard of Roberts Rules of Order, names for various officers were shouted. Apparently one name rose above the others and LoeBilly Pryor became the president of the class. Scene 2. Kindergarten Room and Lower Corridor. The patronizing Seniors were playing the role of hosts, while the Freshmen thrilled to the call of iiRuth and Jacobft At last came the welcome summons to refreshments. Milk!eWafers!eAn insult time alone-or was it timely ice cream-served to banish. At eleven otclock, tired, alone-eor otherwise-they plodded home. Who would have thought from that youthful throng Elinor Shafer would bring them the honor of fourth place in the Declamatory Contest! Act II. Street Scene Around the High School. The neighbors, peering from their windows, beheld an endless stream of sophomores, strolling two by two. Heading that train of daily strollers, Billy Pryor the president for the second year, walked with his Lady Fair. Tim Couch. the latest addition to the class, readily fell in line. i One noon the inquisitive neighbors noticed that a small light haired girl was the center of attraction, and m although some wondered the cause, the majority realized that this particular girl, Ida Page, had the night before won an honor very unusual for one so young. She had carried away the first prize in the Declamatory Contest. Page Twenty-three Act III. The Junior Prom. V The Prom! The long looked for Junior Prom! It was eight thirty and the crowd was forming in line for the grand march. The honorable principal and his wife took their place in the lead, and Tim Couch, the capable president of the Class took his place next in line. Every now and then a prominent figure starts forth; such as George Koresh, who had recently won honors in a contest at White- water, writing ninety-nine percent accuracy in shorthand and typewriting, and LaVerne Elleson who, with her interpretation of Miss Gibbie Gault, won second place in the deelamatory contest. It was a great success, this Junior Prom, and signitiml the pep and Vivaeity of the class of 49. Act. IV. Scene 1. Senior Assembly. A class meeting. Could these sophistocated, dignified seniors, following strictly the Rules of Order sit down for such a 111eeting be the self same persons, Who, four years ago, carried their monthly gatherings with such fury? Impossible as it may seem, there before us were the same faces, though more mature. One by one the Seniors rose to their feet, addressed the Chair, and suggested members of their class for the ofnee of president. After a session of quiet voting, Russell Davidson was chosen to be honored with the title of ttSenior Class President? A motion was made for adjournment and discussion ceased. Scene 2. Aetorts Quarters. A new but important club had been formed in the High School called the Aethrts Club. It was composed of the Senior Stock Company with its repertoire of Mrs. Busbyts Pink Tea? ttThe Heart of a Shamrocktt and itManoeuvres of Jane? Scene 3. Comemncement. Main ltoom. June twenty-seventh, nineteen hundred and nineteen. The hall was filled with parents, relatives and friends of those who were leav- ing the haunts of the past four years, and about to take their places in the world of men and women. A hush fell over the audience as Ida Page stepped forward to deliver her Salutatory address. She as well as Vivian Markussen, the Valedictorian, had time and again distinguished herself as one of the most talented members of the class. And then, one by one these seniors received their reward of hardships overcome and difficulties mastered-their diploma.

AGEiS eyes narrowed as he looked towards the hazy blue shore line of British Columbia. All around the northern horizon, from the afternoon sun to the Canadian shore, was a darker, more ominous haze--the warn- ing of an approaching Norlwester. Already the wind was increasing. As Gage dropped the butt of his cigarette over the rail it was carried far in toward the shore, and the little canvas-covered eatboat swung gently between its davits 0n the tiny after-deck as the breeze caught it. ttSuppose well have a taste of the wind before we end up. Eh, Collins? Gage said, sauntering to the weather-tanned man at the wheel. Collins turned, his usually clouded brow changing into a frown. tTm going to try and make Vancouver. Weill have to risk the Bar, of course, but I deift in- tend to risk the dust it took two years to dig up, and stand out to sea in a nice little blow like well be having? mIlhe deuce with your dust. Pll bet youtd murder a fellow for an ounce of gold? Collins gave the wheel a twist. gI dont know as I wouldnit if ittd be worth whileP iiB'ut that isntt the idea, Collins? Gage clapped his companion on the shoulder. ttItts principle that countsenot moneyP ttYou never win anything by principle. If it hadntt been for your preachin, on that subject we would have about twice as much of the yellow dirt 110w? Anoth- er twist of the wheel and the little launch, in obedience to the helm, turned her nose two points nearer the south-east. Far ahead and to the starboard a misty, foamy line indicated the position of the Bar. ttSuffering Cats! Gee-e, Collins, look at the barometer? The man at the wheel glanced toward the aneroid; the pointer was steadily sinking farther beneath the red line. ttThe tDaffodyl, will be dancing some before a sundown? Collinsi jaw snapped, as he looked from the instrument to the swells that rolled by, tossing the little craft up and down. ttAnd principle wontt help us over the Bar, leastwise to my way way of thinking, 110th The sneer hurt Gage and he walked along the slanting deck but, finding it difficult to keep a foothold, he returned to the little enclosure which served as pilot-house. itWeql strike the Bar at the same time the storm will? he said, casting anxious eyes ahead. Suddenly he grasped Collins, arm. ,tFor heavents sake! Collins, Look! Therets someone in the water. Look! J 11st this side the Bar W The man at the wheel looked, then reached for his glasses, adjusting them with one hand and holding the wheel with the other. iiLooks to me like a girl. Some fools must have gone out over the Bar and not known When it was time to turn? he suggested, quite unperturbed. Gage gasped. ttMy God! Man! You dont mean that you-al'en,t-going-to-try and save her 1W Collins turned fiercely. itSave her? Gage, how dtyou expect to get the xDaf- fodyP near enough to throw out a preserved and then hit the Bar in the center, so we can cross ?t Page leirty-nim The other took the glasses. ttWhat good is life to 11s it we dontt use it? We owe it. to her to make an attempt at leasteeven if we perish in the 01111111? No answer came from the wheel. Gage hit his lip until a drop of blood stood out beneath his teeth. t1113 thatls the ease, I guess Pll take the little cathoat and make the try myself?

Steadving himself against the rail, Gage 1111111age1l to swimr the 1la1'its out, and bv the sheerest good fortune, succeeded in la11111l1i110 the boat and wetting clear of the tDatfodyP before the next wave rolled 111. He could see Collins watching him. The wind carried down a shouted fare- well, but Gage did not eatvh the words. The yacht shot 011' into the shroud Where the waves broke and was lost to sight. A hideous night has ended and sunshine poured out over the troubled sea. the next morning. Gage turned slowlv 011 the sand as the warmth began to penetrate, then rising 011 his e1bow,1l1agged himself over the wet beach to where the girl lay in a swirl of water.

Page Forty-one E112 iHrmIf nf the Huhhing HELEN BUqu E had argued the matter quite heatedly, Sue and 1, Sue in her cocksure, positive way, driving home her points with a vehemeuce and 1, with a de- teimiuatiou that this time at least I would see that my side of the case received proper consideration. ttWar is undoubtedly brutal? I quote Sue. ttBloodshed is revolting and the lust to kill is the most degrading of all desires. How can one ex- pect our boys to cling to the ideals of their pre-war existence. I shudder for the boasted chivalry of the American man. She went away as she always does after delivering her strongest shafts and even though I knew it to be silly, her remarks worried me. It hurt to think that after all these years my faith in my brother and in a million other brothers could be so easily shaken. irThe proof of the pudding is in the eating? I reflected. I will go for a walk in the park and observe closely the returned Yankees that are sure to be there this golden spring morning. I started out jauntily. Tiny, our Maltese kitten, looked after me as I passed down the walk, and having debated the question to her own satisfaction, came after me in those funny kittenish jumps she uses. I gathered her up in my arms as I crossed the street and, cutting through the bare shrubbery made my way to the broad foot-path at a leisurely pace. I picked out a bench where I could catch a glimpse of the pool, a favorite spot in other years. The faintest breeze rippled the water; the sun was delightfully snug and warm and clear as a hell. I heard the occasional note of the early robin. I took out my knitting kit, for so accustomed have I grown to the task that it seems to hll all my spare moments. My yarn rolled off my lap, as yarn will, and Tiny amused herself by pawing at it in her kitteuish way. The hall rolled out into the path and as I glanced up I saw a soldier coming down the path. He would be my test man; the proof of the pudding. He strode slowly, yet without hesita- tion, planting his feet firmly as he walked, so it seemed. Military and yet somehow odd., His head was thrown back; he came on very erect in otticeris uniform. Young, he looked, and yet how strong, and stern. As he advanced I noticed he carried a serviceable cane, which he swung idly but regularly at the edge of the sod which bordered the path. As he drew near I watched him closely for signs of amusement at the kitte1fs antics, but his features remained hard and cold. Then the unbelievable happened. His foot with its heavy boot came forward and he kicked the kitten out of his way up on the lawn. Instantly I was 011 my feet and facing him. t:Oh, youbruteV, I cried. xYou have killed my kitten? and, frenzied with disappointment, I slapped him squarely in the face. As a direct contradiction to my statement Tiny gathered herself together and came toward me. The mants eyes never changed but his entire face seemed to softn and, remov- ing his cap, he said, TI am so sorry and I beg your pardon a thousand times. It was my luckless chance for which I hope to be pardoned. Forgive me, please. You see, I am blindf, Page Forty-two mama 09271?

Page Forty-thru E112 Olrah HE Crab felt crabby; he generally did. The suburban train was so crowd- ed that morning that he was eelnpelled to stand. It happened he stood near a little old lady who was looking,r wearily out of the window. The Crab rarely noticed people enough to take any interest in them, but per- haps this little old lady in blaek brought memories of days when he was not the crab. However, he paused long enough to hear her say to the child Sitting beside her, ttYes, dearie, I think we can manage a fifty by going with- out something? The ehiWs answering smile haunted him as he swung off the train. The Crab felt disturbed; it seemed that something pertaining to this last loan was always coming up to spoil his perfectly good days. Why eouldift people keep their petty sorrows and sacrifices to themselves? rtOh what a world it is anyway always wanting a fellowts money. Well! 1t9s a fact they wont get any of mine this time? said the Crab to himself. At noon Brown dropped into the ottiee to go down to lunch with him and 011 the way down he talked of nothing save his plans for the coming,r loan. The Crab was silent; he felt sour and hated everything. People always looked so happy wearing these little blue and white buttons. His hand stole up to his coat lapel. It was conspicuously empty. iWVeH, old man? said Brown. uHow big a one are you planning this time .w ttNone at all P, snapped the Crab. Brown was silent. Perhaps he was thinking: of the young man in khaki he had hired that morning, whose sleeve hung empty, whose smile was so cheery and whose courage so dauntless. That night at the club the Crab for want of something else to do read a poem written by a soldier about Flanders Fields and crosses and a torch of Victory, of ' men who called to him out of the valley of the shadow. The Crab dozed, till sud- denly from the street came the sound of marching feet. He felt interested. iiHospital Corps just home from overseasV, some one shouted. A short distance from him he saw Brown talking earnestly to another man. Snatches of their con- Versation drifted to him and before long he knew that Brown was telling what he had said that morning. The other man,s face expressed his doubt. ttI don,t believe W he said. ttHe will never miss it. Doesn,t he realize that. the same sun shines on us that shines on those crosses over there whioh mlark the sacrifices made for him and for 11s W The Crab turned away; he hoped he could leave without Brown seeing him. Where he went, I eantt say, but I met him the other day and he looked actually happy. And, oh yes! by the way, did you know he was wearing a Victory Loan button ? TIIELMA MCCURDY.

The Victory Annual is the first and only publication issued this year by West Allis High School. Because of the two Flu bans, studies were, interrupted during the first semester only to be taken up With renewed Vigor at the beginning of the new year. In the making 'up of the time lost efficiency demanded the devotion of time and effort to studies alone. As a result outside work was not taken up and the usual numbers of the school paper were not issued. So it is With some appre- hension that the t19 Seniors offer the Victory annual t0 the school and public. The members of the staff one and all are Seniors of the June graduating class. Until February the long standing question of ttan annual or no annual for Class ,1in was unsettled. Therefore it was not until the opening of the second semester that the executive committee of the class with Mr. German as faculty adviser met and appointed the staff members. From that day there has been a Close raee be- mug; Page Forty-eight tween the statf managers and time; a race with obstacles and difficulties to be met and overcome. For encouragement and advice the staff is deeply indebted to the advisory board. To Mr. German, Chairman 01' the board, we Wish to express our appreeia- tion for his 1111tiring interest and effort. in making this publication possible.

At Christmas the students sent Anna Callac a purse of money. Thus far, many interesting letters have been received from these orphans; one written to the school by Anna Callac, reads as follows: Pontrieux, France. My dear friends : In this year which marks victory for my fatherland, France, and defeat for the boches, I extend to you my best wishes for a very happy New Year. I am very glad to know that you are in a very nice school and that the school, as a whole, wishes to correspond with me. I thank each one of your for sending me a word, but you know that I cannot do likewise because I am at school and have not much time. I am thirteen years old and I notice that Lena Emerson and some others are of the same age. You write that perhaps I shall be able to come to America. I have an uncle who comes to America frequently and if I can, I assure you that I shall visit you some day. ' I shall tell you a little more about my life and my parents. My father has returned from England, sick. We have been having an American Conference here to discuss the terrible disease, tuberculosis, which has SWept our country. But I forgot to tell you that I received a letter from Dorothea Selle last week and also some letters from several boys. I extend to them my very best Wishes for the New Year.

H. 8., Friday evening, under the auspices of the Tesla Marconi Club. It was stated by Major Matthews that after the extensive use of gas, more casualties were caused than by any other method of warfare. The first gas attack was made by the Germans, and probably the war would have been won by them tlnez- years ago, if they had had gas masks. They did not realize how many men they had killed in their first gas attack or they most likely would have finished the job. But the Anleriealfs French and British, quickly began the manufacture of . gas masks-to prevent the poisoning of their soldiers. A call for these was made to the British women, by Lord Kitchener and in less than three days nearly four million masks were turned out, the women working day and night. Many other things were accomplished by the women, but this was one of the most remarkable of the war. Several different types of gas masks had to be made to serve as a protection against the various gases used. Chlorine, the first gas used, a. very fatal one, caused little danger because of the invention of a type of mask which prevented its harming the wearer. Then phosgiene was used, which caused much havoc. The former gas masks had to be improved upon. Later a powder gas was substituted, which pene- trated the masks, but by covering them with a certain fabric, this gas proVed to be of little danger. The mustard gas, the most fatal, was finally used. By American genius, a new gas mask was made, which was superior to the one used by the British, although the British were uncertain as to the ability of the Americans to turn out this im- portant protection. It prevented gas poisoning but it was very uncomfortable. making the soldiers less elficient. A lighting mask was substituted which decreased the pressure 011 the nose, prevented mist from forming on the eye-glasses, and pro'- Vided a means by which the saliva could be kept from llowing down the chin, which proved very disagreeable, both in winter and summer. Another fighting mask was being considered which would permit a soldier to smoke while he had on his mask, but unfortunately the war ended and the proposition had to be given up. Gas masks used by the Gernians was a topic of interest. They were of little value to the wearer. Gas shells of all sizes were used, and as many as the thousand gas shelling machine would be fired at once. The various kinds of gases used tended to weaken the heart of the Victim: The horrible mustard gas caused total blindness when thrown into the eyes and it also formed large blisters, which required a long time to heal. Many returning soldiers have contracted diseases of the lungs, as the result of being gassed. The Hun hoped to master the world with the aid of this but the work of the Allies prevented this, calamity and added another achievement to the progress of humanity.

The music was furnished by the high school orchestra or by some student who volunteered to play. Admis- sion was iive cents or as much as the dancers cared to give. Thus far, the sum taken in at the dances amounts to Iifty-nine dollars and forty-three cents 0859.413. This money is used to support the four French War Orphans adopted by the school. The following students were appointed to take charge of these dances: Ruth Sayle, D 01'0thea Selle, Marian Mussman, Hedwig Lippart, Russell Davidson. Howard Chesley, Herbert Brown and J 09 Komar. MARIAN MUSSMAN. Elbe Art nf Glamnuflage CamouHage, the magic art by which two million American soldiers were trans- ported to France, was the subject of an informal lecture before the high school by Dudley Crafts Watson, director of the Milwaukee Art Institute. Mr. Watson emphasized the remarkable work of the artists during the war and showed what a Vital part was played by the gentle art of landscape painting. At the beginning of the war, every German submarine was familiar with the plans of every ship on the sea. The enemy was trained to sight accurately the most Vital part of a ship and then to strike. This was made possible by distinct, sharp out- . lines of 0111' gray battleship against the sky. It was the task of the artist to OVercome this difficulty. The weapon he used was camouflage. By. the addition of a false prow 0r stern, and by the application of brilliant paint in fantastic shapes, the appearance of a ship was completely , changed. Its outline was lost; its form and shape were no longer diseernable at a distance. Instead of a dark, clear-eut target for German guns, it became a blurred mass against the horizon. Hence the danger from German torpedoes was lessened. The artist stated that not a single American transport was struck on its voyage to Europe, although several suffered disaster on the return trip. This was due to the information obtained by German spies while the transports were in foreign harbors. Thus, in spite of the tremendous expense of even one coat of paint, it became necessary to re-camouhage a transport for each voyage to France. From Mr. Watsonts talk, a very clear idea was gained of importance of camou- flage in the winning of the war. Page Fifty-Jix Qlarrg 09m ARRY ONt, is the motto of the Senior Class of 19 and carry on we will. It is easy to do a heroic thingr when the bands are playing and excitement 7 . t prewailing everywhere, but it is still another task to carry on where there are no eyes to see, no hands to applaud, no medals to be won. There are heroes in the factories, stores, schools, offices, mines, farms, kitchens, and other peaceful walks of life as well as on the battlefields of Europe. These heroes do not carry on with selfish motives, but to pay the debt which they owe their country and their brethren. What if little Belgium had chosen the easier course of dropping out instead of cairying on to the very end in spite of her desolation? What if France and England had not carried on so wonderfully and so per- sistently? Where would the U. S. stand, but for the sublime Carrying on of her determined defenders ? Now is our turn to carry on. Shall we fail them? No! Our carrying 011 may consist of doing day by day, and doing with all our might, that which is our. duty, not to earn glory, decorations or applause. President Wilson has given us a good example of carrying on, which should be an example for every citizen. With greater duties and responsibilities than any other man on earth, he never shirks, never complains, but daily tackles these over- whelming tasks with fresh zeal and determination, which astonishes the world. We, the Seniors of 19, will bear all the burdens of Lifeis great troubles, and carry on, carry 011 to the very end. We will follow the example of our great leader and protector, President Wilson, for we have not finished-but have just begune and will carry on, carry on, to the last roll call. MARIE MESCHNIG.

Although Classes have been held for only a short time much has been accomplished and the interest and enthusiasm shown is encouraging. A Cadet Corps is being organized for those who are interested in Military Training which has possibilities of becoming an organization of which the Sehool may some day be proud. The outlook for next year is very encouraging both as to athletics and gym- nasium activities and with the addition of the new gymnasium, Physical Education will become an important element in our high school course.

It is a universal language for the expression of ideas of form. The work in art has been in progress for three years. It is a subject over which the pupils are very enthusiastic. Even those who do not- take art profess their interest in the subject. Emphasis is placed 011 the three divisions of art training: Design, Representation and Industrial Art. Designing is space drawing and space arrangement. Representation is the imitation of objects in pencil, charcoal or colors or with other medium. 1t demands a close study of pro- portions, sizes, position, textures and illumination of objects as well as skill in the use of materials. Industrial Art covers hand-work, manual training, applied arts, etc. 7 There are very many pupils taking art in comparison to other subjects in spite of the poorly equipped drawing room: But a bright star shineseethe erecting 0f the new high school in which there will be ample room for the study of art.

The domestic art course includes dressmaking, iniliinery, and art needlework. The third year is devoted to one semester of general chemistry and second semester of applied household chemistry. . L.

Of course, I sup: pose those marks are all I could expect considering the amount of studying I do. I never was known to take a book home. All I do in school is fool around and waste time. Ilm mighty glad Iim not like some people whose low marks bother them ; it cloesnit. worry me in the least what marks I get. Oh! I must not forget, I will be, just delighted to come and spend a few days with you next week.

The sensation created cannot be expressed. It is ill- teresting to note, however, that within the next few days several of the lower classmen came with their locks shorn likewise. The Society for the Prevention of Useless Fads recommends that steps be tak- en immediately to check this bobbing disease prevalent among the young ladies of the school. itRiti, is Miss extremel y popular with many of our young men.

One of the interesting ex- periments performed at the Science Show was, ttTesting Liquids to Determine Their Alcoholic Contentii It was necessary for Mr. Phillips to purchase, at one of our local drug stores, a quart of the best port wine and half pint of whiskey for this experi- nient. After the show, Mr. Phil- lips put the bottles containing the liquids, and what was left of their contents. in what he considered, a safe place. Be- fore putting the bottle of whiskey away, he poured wood alcohol into it, meaning to use it for experimental pur- poses in the laboratory. The next morning tlle boys, chemistry class met as usual. During the course of the per- iod Mr. Phillips was called to ' the telephone. Several of the distinguished members of the Class located the ttBottles and drained them of their con- tents. Mr. Phillips returned only to find the bottles empty. His knees began to shake. his face became pale. Hearts be- gan to heat faster and faster. ranging: from 90 to 100 beats per minute. Mr. Phillips then told the boys what the smaller hottle contained. He requested the culprits to deliver them- selves up so that something might be done for them. They were given a dose of which probably was the means of saving their lives.

Raymonu Pahle, Howard Cheslay, Nor- bert Bischoff, Ben. Schafer and Chester Smith were very pleasantly entertained by Miss Gehhard, in the Senior room, several eyenings since her ar- rival in our vicinity. A very lovely time was enjoyed by all!??. Page Sewenty-ont Since our mutual friend, Miss Anna Butler, command- er-in-ehief of the Junior as- sembly, greatly detests gum tof any brandi, several of our distinguished students are obliged to sit peacefully at their desks while their more fortunate brothers enjoy the balmy springtime and extra hour of daylight. For fur- ther information see Ernie? Mr. M. J. W. Phillips enter- tained the male members of the Sophomore and Freshman classes March 22, 1919, the tirst balmy day of the season. Invitations were denied to all male students of said classes, who occupied their desks at 1:15 or before. No one com- plained of being slighted, how- ever. The party lasted until Mr. Phillips was obligtd to de- part to feed his chickens. The Sophomore lassies en- tertained at a camouiiage tea party one day in mid-winter. ' HOUSEHOLD HINTS Pep for W. A.

Let us interpret its melodious phrases. q am the orchestra of West Allis High School, initiated into the school in .year of 1915, in which year Professor Friedriehs first originated my organization. His successor, Professor Fahnestoek, continued his work, and through his ingenuity and technicality is modeling me into perfection. Listen now, while 1 tell ye the officers of my organization. They are: President, Karl Friedbacher; Viee-Presi- dent, Elsie Wirta; Librarian, Earl Winter; Seeretary-Treasurer, Elda Edens. :tAnd while the instruments are pouring forth harmonious sounds let us depart with our hearts enlightened, rejoicing as the tuneful airs die away? But hear the next in procession, a dignified spirit speaks. The Boyst Athletic ' Association in deep tones proclaims his presence. ttI was organized in the year 1906 under the guidance of the faculty. My pur- pose is to provide a healthful recreation for the boys and to create real school spirit. A11 boys in H igh School are considered members. a ttAlthough the teams of the school are now lighter than the last year they have made a good showing, and the school is well pleased with its representatives in athletics. Officers of the association are: President, Frederick Presser, Vice- President, Alexander Barr; Secretary, George Koresh ; Treasurer, Elmer Lambert; Business Manager, Herbert Sehwan. Now comes the Gils, Athletic Association, whose dignity is almost equal to that of the Boys, Athletic Association. Hear what she has to offer. :tAlthough my members have not been very active for some time, Athletics were taken up this year with fresh interest and Vigor. Four big basketball games were conducted this season. The proceeds of the Racine game were contributed to the Fatherless Children of France fund, and those of the other three games went toward settling expenses. Miss Teter, our new coach, is ably continuing Miss Wooer work by arousing as much enthusiasm in the school as possible. ttThe present officers of the association are President, Helen Burns; Vice- President, Ruth Sayle; Secretary, Ethel Maynard; Treasurer, Luella Miller; Busi- ness Manager, Margaret Kellner? What are these sweet sounds which issue forth from the abode of joy? Is it the unison of angel voices led by Gabriel? N0; ,tis something far sweeter, far superior in quality-the Glee Club. But list! They speak. rtWe the twin Glee Clubs tBoyst and GirlsU founded with the laying of the corner-stone of the school grew year by year in size and excellence. This year, led by Professor Fahnestoek, we reached realms of success hitherto undreamed of. Our talent as a whole and as individuals was demonstrated in a concert, a cantata and a minstrel show. xEvery Tuesday and Thursday morning the school is electrified by the melodi- ous sounds emerging through the keyholes 0f the doors behind which we dwell, for we awake from our deep sleep then to pourxforth joyous symphony? Page Eighty-tlzree The Girls, Glee Club is guided this year, by President LaVeI'ne Elleson; Vice-President, Ruth Sayle; Secretary, Janice Cannon; and Treasurer, Walberg Davidson; while her twin brother the Boys, Glee Club is led by President Alexander Barr; Viee-President, William Pryor; and Secretary and Treasurer, Russell Da- vidson. XVho comes here, with stately tread and dignified mein. head reared and eyes. seeking the clouds? It is the High-Y Club, one of the select few, a branch of the Y. M. C. A. whose purpose is chietiy educational. Advance, oh child in years, but sage in wisdom, and let the words of truth eome forth from thy lips. tiGreat dignity is mine, for was it not given to me at my birth. Although my years are short, much homage is offered me by the world in which I move. For- ever upward striving, I shall soon reach my goal. Success, with the help of my organized, Mr. Welbourne. All High School boys are eligible for 111e111be1'ship, and the present members number twenty-fiye. xEducation is promoted to a great extent by the interesting: topic discussions given by faculty members, who talk 011 physical education, moral education, educa- tion and the part it plays in success, and other subjects of general interest. Meet- ings are held every Friday 110011. My staff of officers is as follows: President. Frederick Presser; Secretary, George Koresh; Treasurer, Alexander Barr? Last, but by 110 means least, heralded by the sweetest strains of Perpetual Music, comes the Mandolin Club, one of the youngest of the group.
