“Wljat’s in a $ame?” watched the little birds “Teeter” on the branches above them, and listened to the sweet music of the “Brooke” as it gurgled its way along to turn the wheels of the “.Mills” and to furnish bread and butter For the “Miller.” They sat entranced. Suddenly he spake in accents soft and low: “ “Darling.” will you be; mine?” In whispered as he “Drew” her soft hand into his. QKM hi arm they strolled through the “Bright’’ “Fairfield” and into the still silent forest where only tin “Russell of the leaves could In heard. Slowly they entered the quaint, “Brown” “Bauer” and “ “Bray” Sir, unhand me!” replied the haughty maid. With dejected countenance and downcast eyes our hero spake, as he looked into the still silent “Wells” of her eves: “My own light of my life: better than any electric bull's-eye, I have always been at your “Buck” and call and ever have 1 been as the most abject “Kerr.” groveling at your feet. My only “Ames” in life have been to win your love. Oh! sweet (Juinevcre let not your “Mart” be of stone! Do not go into a “Huff” and stamp your “Shapely” “Foote.” These cruel “Knox” sear and “Pierce” their fiery way into the innermost recesses of my sensitive spirit. It “Burns” far worse than a red-hot brand.” So pleaded the red-faced Rudolph with his lady-love. “Oh “Shaw!” Quit your kidding,” came in a voice as sweet as a “Carol” from the ruby lips of our heroine. “Look over the “Meadows!” ” she continued, “and see how tin “Cray” storm clouds are marshaling their thunderous forces. See how they “Chase” each other over the sky. We had better be making tracks for our paternal “Hall.” Thus warned the cruel Guinevere. Sadly. Rudolph ascended from his recumbent posture, and with bent head proceeded. In silence they passed the “Pond” where a lonely “Fisher” stood like a “Sargent” on guard. Now there came a thunderous “Echo” from the “West” ami now a blinding flash of lightning. “Oh dear! Rudolph, what shall we do,” came in an agonized wail from the now terrorized Guinevere. “If it “Rains” il will spoil my new hat!!!” “Alas gentle maiden,” spoke the brave Rudolph, “Hardy” as an oak tree, “I have not got a “Penney” to my name but let us hie us hither and seek shelter in yonder house.” Together they approached the huge doors of “Wood” which separated them from warmth and happiness. Shivoringly they punched the “Bell” and waited in damp agony. The door was opened by the “Cook,” the stern “Warden” of the pantry. In trembling accents they told their tale of woe. The girl ushered them into a cheery room, the “Parsons” study, she called it. And so it came to pass that the brave Knight and his gentle lady were joined that day in the metropolis of “Hopkins,” by the mighty bonds of matrimony. Moral: Variety is the “Salt ” of life.

Gladys Manchester is the most talented girl so the voters decided, with Monica Flanigan and Marion White second and third. The fight for the most talented hoy was close and snappy but the mouth organ of “Dav Grimes won over the pen of Costigan. Bill Rorhford’s advocates were enough to put him in the third stall. The ambitions of the class were many and of various kinds. The most frequently expressed wish was a fond desire to graduate. Many also contemplated matrimony with eager eyes. Some desired scholastic honors. Justin Miller said he wanted to throw an egg into a fan and “Sid'' I fey wood gavly admitted that his aim was to be president of the beef trust. Some | wanted to get Fat and some to get thin. The favorite spot in the school is the lunch room with the Hesperian banding a close second. The Chemistry Laboratory and Recitation room was third. So we close the door to this hall of fame. (Lite Class Plan © HE Senior Play!” That phrase certainly sounds harmless enough, and that is the first impression it gave the committee, but choosing a class play has its trials and tribulations. At first the committee were in favor of a modern play, but here so many difficulties and poor plays confronted them that it was with a feeling of relief and pleasure that they finally read Goldsmith’s, “She Stoops to Conquer.’’ This was the play chosen by the committee, and under the direction of Miss Penney and Mr. Kloepfer we arc sure it will be a success.
