Class |Wm We entered High in ’23, Ready to sail the venturous sea, Tho’ gales disturbed our peaceful flight, In the primary subjects we came out all right. Ardent Sophs we then became, And started on our quest for fame, The subjects then were more complex, But eventually we got the text. As Juniors we were jolly too, And Geometry we plodded thru, Latin was a fearful test, But we got thru like all the rest. As Seniors we intelligent grew, The subject matter was no longer new, Now as we stand at the threshold of life, The class of 1927 has entered the strife. Proud be thy name oh Westfield High, We carry thy banner pointed to the sky, May others when their school days are thru, Bring glory, praise and honor, (Alma Mater) to you. B. D. and R. E.

Thirteen students graduated from the department in June, 1915. A framed picture of the first grad- uates of the teachers training course may be seen on the wall of the Training Room at the present time. Miss Elsa Nagle succeeded Mrs. Bennett, and Miss Cashman succeeded Miss Nagle. In the fall of 1922, the Training Department moved into its present quarters in the new High School Building. This place is admirably adapted to the work as it gives more space for the work and also for the equipment which is needed. Miss Mae Beers was the training teacher at this time, from 1921 to 1924. Miss Agnes Johnson, the present training instructor, has directed the work since Sept- ember, 1924. One hundred seventy students have graduated from the Training Department. The classes have varied in numbers from seven to twenty-seven. Changes and additions have been made in the course of study from time to time. Sixteen weeks of practice teaching were required for a time, and later this was changed to eighteen weeks. Since September, 1924, twenty-four weeks of practice teaching have been required. The school law on the certification of teachers reads thus; “In order to ob- tain any form of license or certificate to teach in any public school in this state on and after September 1, 1927, the applicant must have completed at least five years of school work beyond that offered in the first eight grades of the public school system, at least one of which shall have been devoted to instruction and training preparatory to the work of teaching.” In compliance with the above law, the Training Department was put upon a graduate basis in the fall of 1926, and students must now complete their high school course before entering the Training Department. Last year’s class was one of the largest in the history of the Training De- partment. This was due in part to the fact that many of the high school seniors made use of this last opportunity to complete the training course dun'ng their senior year in high school. As a consequence of this and because of the ti-ansition period, the class is small this year. It is expected that the classes will be larger in succeeding years. This additional year of preparation will give the rural schools better trained and more mature teachers, which is one of the greatest needs of the rural schools. —36— Cf)t of tl)e Cratntng Department The aim of the Training Department is to train students to become ef- ficient teachers in the rural schools. The one year of professional training in- cludes a great variety of work. Eighteen weeks of elementary education and school management is required, and the remainder of the work consists of meth- ods of teaching the common school subjects. The course in elementary education takes up some work in psychology and a discussion of such subjects as will help them to understand the child and to make his teaching more effective. Many references ai-e used, including the latest books on education. This course also includes a study of rural school problems and the best way to deal with them. A few weeks are given to the study of rural sociology that they may understand rural life better and know something about the problems of the community and social life of rural districts. —37— Much of the work consists of a study of methods of teaching each of the subjects required in the rural schools from the first through the eighth grade. The Manual of the Elementary Schools of Wisconsin issued by the state depart- ment is studied carefully in connection with this work. The familiarity with the course of study which they gain in this way is of much benefit to them, as they are rquired to follow this manual closely in their rural school teaching. We find the best way to teach the methods is to let the students make their lesson plans and actually teach them to to the class in the training school. They are taught to use the newest methods of teaching in all cases. This does not consist of a lot of theory, but they actually put into practice nearly everything that is stud- ied in exactly the manner in which they will use it in the rural schools. “Learn- ing by doing” i sour motto as far as we are able to carry it out. Opening ex- ercises in accordance with directions in the Manual are given by the students and a rural school club is organized the same as is required in the rural schools. They are given ample opportunity to put their training into practice under careful supervision, as they are required to do twenty-four weeks of practice teaching in the grades in Westfield. Considerable work is done in the rural schools. They observe rural school work for five days during the first semester. This helps them to become familiar with the work of the rural schools and makes them realize more fully just what the methods and training in the Training Department really mean. Each student also does one week of cadet teaching in a rural school near the close of the second semester. This work is supervised by the county superintendent, the supervising teacher, and the training teacher. Students are given every possible opportunity to begin rural school teaching well equipped in all the details of the work. After they begin teaching they receive much assistance through the county superintendent and supervising teacher as well as any help which the training school can give. A student who puts forth effort ought to make a successful teacher under such careful guidance The year of training and a year of teaching in the rural schools is a good be- ginning for any one who is planning to take up the work of teaching. It gives a foundation which is very helpful as a basis for later work. Such a teacher, on entering a state normal school, may receive one year of credit toward the com- pletion of any course for training elementary teachers. The training course means work, and only those who enjoy work and who are adapted both mentally and morally to the profession of teaching should under- take this field of work. Educators tell us that the aim of education is “social efficiency”, that is, to make one a useful member of the community in which he lives or works. All who are connected with the training of teachers for the rural schools are eager to send out teachers well equipped to bring the very best they can to the rural boys and girls. The teacher training course trains young people for a useful kind of work at an early age and gives them a foundation upon which they may advance independently if necessary. To be engaged in a useful kind of work and to be self-supporting wins for one not only self-respect, but the respect of others. President Glenn Frank, in an address to high school students said, “I should attain financial independance at the earliest possible age. That makes for the only real freedom.” —38— PRACTICE CLASSES Yv 4“ 4 $p} $ %cn rv , v,vTcu.d.

He has just completed his pedagogical training and is filled with a great desire to put into practice the methods and deuces which he has learned while in training. The week before the starting of school is indeed one cf great anxiety and deep thought as to what should be done on that first day. The long awai-ed time at length arrives. The teacher goes to the little ona room school located in some rural district, where he has been hired to teach for the coming nine months. Upon opening the door almost innumerable questions begin to confront the teacher. He takes a careful mental survey of his surroundings and tries to make further preparations for the day’s work. The pupils begin to arrive very early on this morning. They hurry along the road in noisy groups of two or three, each making guesses as to the new teacher. Most of their time this first morning is use, not for playing, but in forming opinions of the new teacher. They are gathered in groups, busily talking, looking up hurriedly every now and then for a quick glance at the teacher. The teacher finds himself wondering what their thoughts and words are. Nine o’clock comes. The bell is rung, the pupils find a place to sit and suddenly become very quiet. The next step is the teacher’s. He endeavors to find out the names of these pupils who are so anxiously waiting for something to happen. The work on the first day consists mainly of getting acquainted with the boys and girls and trying to find a way out of the dilemma which presents itself. The books to use, the seating arrangement, the use of the library, the age and gradation of pupils, are a few of the problems arising. Perhaps a story is read to the pupils to show them that there are some things about school that are “just for fun.” Each class is called in its turn, and each grade is assigned something to do for the next day. Thus the day’s work draws to a close. The teacher dismisses the pupils with a last word about attendance the next day. The pupils leave the schoolhouse, some happily and some reluctantly. Soon they are all gone. That first day of teaching is over at last! It is perhaps the most memorable day in the teacher’s career. He sits down at his desk and attempts to recall the happenings of the day. His mind is filled with many perplexing questions: how can I ever remember all those names, how can I ever remember the order of all those classes, and how, oh how! can I ever prepare all those lessons? A tired and discouraged feeling creeps over him. He finds himself wishing it were the end instead of the beginning of the school year. Is teaching such a likable occupation after all? One consolation is that there are only one hundred seventy-nine days left. The next morning dawns brighter. The daily program is more carefully followed; and at four o’clock, the teacher begins to see a small amount of order creeping out of the chaos which ruled so completely the day before. The problems are being slowly solved. The next day is still brighter; and before the end of the week, he feels a small amount of confidence in his ability to teach school. The experience of that first day is a sensation that comes but once in a life- time. Its memory is among the teacher’s most treasured possessions. This experience is indeed worth the anxiety caused by it; since, in after years; its memory is a sufficient and delightful recompense. GLENN COLLINS —41— MEDITATION We have labored many an evening Till the night has worn away, And became the honored students Of the Training Course this way. We have labored long and willing O’er our every cherished book, And the brilliant recitations Showed the pains we always took. With Miss Johnson as our leader, We have vanquished every foe. We have now attained the summit, And no higher we can go. In the years to follow, Classes thus shall come and go, Finding their reward in service; And teach others to do so. M. S. D. D. Song: There’s a Long, Long Trail There’s a long, long trail a-winding To the school house in the vale, But of course we’ll surely get there, For we’ve worked long without fail. There’ll be lois of work to do there, But there’ll be lots of pleasure, too; For when we’ve mastered the T. T. C., We’ll know just what to do. A. F. We’re forever loyal students Of the Training School so dear. We’re glad we came. We’ll praise your name, Our Training School shall rise to fame. Students always grateful We shall ever be, And Westfield’s name we’ll cherish In our book of memory. M. S. D.

P. McDowell of Montello. Under her efficient leadership the work has branched out throughout the county, until now there are four clubs. The Westfield High School Clubs, for both boys and girls were started in 1925. The leader for the boys work is Mr. Starkey, and the girls work under the direction of Miss Meinke. Prominent in the girl’s club is one member, Vera McDowell who is worthy of special mention because of her four years of successful club work. vera McDowell Fourth Champion Home Economics girl in 4H Club in Wisconsin Vera took up club work when she was ten years old. Her first project was Pig club work, under the direction of the Poland China Promotion Committee. She won first place at the promotion show receiving $21.00 in cash premiums and a fall gilt. The next year she took up Home Economic work and for four years has received honor pins each year for being one of the ten girls holding highest records in canning. Her record for 1926 .shows that she has canned 113 pints. In 1926 she received a scholarship from the Hazel Atlas Glass Company to the Club Short Course at Madison; and a wrist-watch from the Milwaukee Journal for Meritorious work in canning. She has received the three achievement pins, bronze for the first year work; silver for second and gold for third. This year she will receive a diploma from the Wisconsin Bankers Ass’n for completing satisfactorily four years of 4H club work. —45— 4M Club IHnrk Dean Russell sums up club work for us here, as follows: Boys’ and Girls’ Club work is an� organized and definite form of extension work’ in agriculture and home economics. It is based on putting the theory of class room, text book, and laboratory into practice upon the farm and in the home. THE CLUB PLEDGE I pledge my head to reason, My heart to loyalty, My hands to service, And my health to efficiency, For the good of my country, my community and my home. The fundamental principles of club work, as indicated by the club pledge, are to obtain practical knowledge; to provide social opportunity; to develop bus- iness ability; and to attain physical development. WELL DIRECTED CLUB WORK 1. Promotes a spirit of co-operation (teamwork). 2. Develops self reliance and initiative (leadership). 3. Saves waste and surplus products (thrift). 4. Dignifies farming (contentment). 5. Unites home and school (club spirit). 6. Equips for life (citizenship). A club member shall be between the ages of 10 and 19 years. Younger persons may be voted into the club as associate members. To join a club a member must: Sign a definite club project. Carry the work on according to directions, in a business like way. Keep a record in a club book. Make an exibit if asked to by the leader. Finish the project and send the final records to leader signed by proper witness. An ideal club shall have at least five members working on one project, with r. local club leader. The organization must have the necessary officers and follow a certain pro- gram of work. Regular club meetings should be held at least six times a year. The most popular projects of the many taken up in this state are: agricult- ural—pig, calf, lamb, garden, corn, potato, and poultry. Home economic— Sewing, canning, baking or food, home nursing and home decoration. “The hope of the future lies in the attitude of the young rather than in the transformation of the old.” Dean H. L. Russell, College of Agriculture, Madison, Wisconsin. —46— ROLL First Row: Ervin Abraham, Holiis Schleutcr, Marvin Drewitz, Ray F razier, Marlin Miller, Palmer Smith, Desmond Foote, Carl Siefkes, Arthur Zimmerman, Merton Podoll, Chester Kempley. . , „ ... u u , Second Row: Vilas Drewitz, Walter Pomplun, Howard kujath, Robert Ford, Fredrick Schwark, 1 homas Hamilton, Harold Hammond, Hilbert Zaske, Gordon Schlinske, Charles Weir, Clarence Christenson, John Dewar, Morris Fuhrmann, Roland Warnke, Gordon Quinn.

AGRICULTURE The completion of our new building opened a new and greater opportunity for us. In our school the majority of boys were from the farm and yet we were offer- ing them no special Agricultural training. Our new building made possible the addition to our curriculum of an Agricultural course. We have adopted such a course and for the last two years have been one of the “Smith Hughes” High Schools. We have a standard course of study, which'is as follows; 1st. year Soils and Crops; 2nd. year Animal Husbandry; 3rd. year Farm Shopwork; 4th. year Ag- ricultural Economics. We have taken part in two State High School Judging Contests. This year our Poultry Judging Team consisting of Arthur Zimmerman, Walter Pomplun and David Hamilton, won first place. As time goes on we hope that our Agricultural Department will continue to grow. We also believe that a mind trained to meet the problems of farming will be more apt to meet the changing agricultural conditions successfully. --19— —50— IB ask et '©all (Leant of 1927 Left to Right: Coach, Mr. Andrews; Elmer Drewitz; Howard Kujath; Thomas Hamilton; Carl Siefkes; Fredi'ick Schwark; Harold Hammond; Lyle Wood; Willard Krentz.

He is a clipper and is widely known for his speed, cleverness and endurance, being admired even by his opponents. Much of the success of the team is due to “Bill”.

The school is lucky that they will have Krentz on the team next year. LYLE WOOD Guard Wood is our sturdy guard. He is known especially for paralyzing his opposing guard, whether large or small. Th“ way he tangles them up is surely worth seeing. They can’t tire him out no matter how hard they try. We hope he’ll help keep up the good name of our Basket Ball team. —53— HOWARD KUJATH Guard Kujath is sort of bashful, but not when he’s playing Basket Ball. The opponent surely doesn’t get thru the line when Bud’s around. He just grabs the ball, dribbles down the floor and the opponent has a hard time finding him again. Will we miss Bud next year? Well, I should say so! CARL SIEFKES Center Siefkes is our nifty center. He’s tall and slim and full of vim. That’s Sof. We are all proud of the work Carl has done ;his year, and I know the members of the team are grateful to him for giving them the tip-off nearly every time. THOMAS HAMILTON Forward What would we do without “Red”? He is a real player and we can always depend on him. He surely showed what he could do in the game with Montello. Can he hold them back? I should say he can. He will also be one of the clippers next year. —54— ELMER DREWITZ Forward Elmer is also one of the foxy forwards, which we’ll miss next year. He knows his stuff and even if he is on the bottom of the goose pile once in a while, it’s only a second and he’s up and going again. FREDRICK SCHWARK Guard Although Fred hasn’t had much of a chance to exhibit his ability this year, we know what he can do. He is only a Freshman, Oh what will he be when he’s a Senior? He certainly will be a star if he keeps up the good work.

It seems that this is to r. large degree true in our school. It seems that during the year we have nothing in school that arouses as much interest and “pep” as our basket ball games. Our Athletic Association is made up of students. The dues are twenty-five cents a year and are payable in advance. This money gives us a start at the begin- ning of the season when we need it most. Members are admitted at games for fifteen cents while non members pay twenty-five cents. Our spirit and enthusiasm was somewhat strength- ened by the help of our band; who volunteered to play for us at several games. Viewed from any angle our past season was a suc- cessful one. We had good crowds and we won our share of games as well. In conclusion let us say that we are looking forward to next season and it s victories. —59— THE BOY WITH THE REAL SCHOOL SPIRIT Characters: Mrs. J. Duly-The Mother George Duly—The Son Place- Time--On the evening of a basket ball game at about 7:30 Scene In the sitting room of the Duly Apartment. Mrs. Duly is sitting in a rocking chair, busily sewing. Her son comes in with a grave look on his face. GEORGE—Oh Mother, haven’t you changed your mind about that game yet? You know it’s the last game this year and you have no idea of how badly I want to go. MOTHER—No, George, It’s all Tom foolery and nothing to waste your time upon. No wonder you don’t get your lessons when all you think about is basket ball. GEORGE—Tut tut, now Mother. You know I’ve never come home with a red mark on my report card yet, and the teacher says I always have my lessons well prepared, so how much more would you want? MOTHER—I guess you are right there George. I foi-got myself, but why do you want to waste your time on that foolish game of basket ball? GEORGE—(highly excited) Well, Mother, you know that we must have some sport and this is great sport. It puts so much school spirit into us and that’s just what we need. You just wait till next year and (throwing out his chest, with an independent air) you’ll see your honorable playing and I’ll bet you’ll be proud of me as those boy’s mothers are now. Why Mother, there’s your most intimate friend, Mrs. Brown, sitting in the front row every time, and next year I’ll bet you’ll be there too. Won’t you now, Mother? Confess! MOTHER—No George you’ll not play basket ball! Do you suppose I’ll have my boy bro’t home on a stretcher with his ribs broken? Why, Oh, why are boys so silly? GEORGE—Why Mother, change your idea a bit, and picture me coming home with the word “VICTORY” all over my face, and after about two years of playing, I’ll be strong and sturdy ready to face the hard things in life. MOTHER—Well, George, I guess you’ve won the argument. I never tho’t of that. But mind me, don’t you come home whooping and hollering like you did last time. GEORGE—You’ll excuse me this time, because this is the game that decides whether or not we go to the tournament, and if we win (which I know we will) I can’t help but yell, can I Mother? I must go now or I’ll be late. Goodbye, Mother, and please wish us heaps of good luck. (Exit George full of excitement) MOTHER—(after George has gone says to herself) My,! my! Isn’t he full of and hasn’t he the school spirit. Right down in my heart I’m proud of that boy, and I’m glad he’s so proud of his school and basket ball team. My, I hope they win! 60— —61— £ 1)001 1?rcl)cstra Left To Right:---- First Row: Director, Mr. Ernest Weber; Marlyn Miller; Harold Hammond; Robert Ford; John Dewar; Leslie Frank; Merle Podoll.

It has been possible to maintain the orchestra this year thru the kindness of the P. T. A. They have been financing it. We wish to thank this organization for its generous contributions. We are planning to continue this work during the summer. All H. S. pupils who are attending H. S. now or expect to enter in the fall are welcome to join the orchestra. —62— It is the object of the Westfield High School to eventually have a real en- semble orchestra, which of course must be balanced in its instrumentation—a car must have all of its different parts, just so must a concert orchestra have the necessary variety of instruments. All classical orchestra music is composed for a complete orchestra which consists of violins, cello, bass violin, flute, clarinets, cornets, trombones, french horns, oboes, bassoons, saxaphones and drums. When joining a school orchestra, pick an instrument needed—remember players on un- common instruments are always in demand in concert organizations. Music in schools is making America musical. The works of the great masters in music are still unknown to the great majority of American people. Beethoven, who ranks among the five greatest men and who lived a hundred years ago, com- posed the woi-ld’s finest music—how many have heard his symphonies? With our schools now teaching instrumental music, in a few years the works of the great masters will be as well known as the popular songs of to-day. The National Bureau for the advancement of music in one of their books, has this to say: “More people earn their living by music than by any other profession, except school-teaching, and one or two others, and when you include those who partly earn their living by music, the number probably equals the number of school teachers. Most of these professional musicians earn money on the instrumental side, and the number is increasing every day. But this is only the vocational aspect of the question. When the educational, general cultural, ethical, and entertainment sides of music are taken into account the thinking person will soon see that only a very useful subject indeed can hold its own with instrumental music in the schools.” Westfield is a music loving community which is readily seen in its musical activities. It is our ambition to make the Wesfield High School orchestra bigger and better than ever. E. W. Cl)t £lue0t of tije 5pp0J Left to Right: Ruth Eubank, Miss L.

Y X Vrv pA C S t 65— SENIOR CLASS PLAY OF 1927 “A NIGHT OFF” is a comedy in four acts. The stoi-y centers around an old college professor who thinks he is a great playwright and who wants to get a play produced. Along comes a strolling actor-manager, and with his proposal to present the professor’s play. On the local stage the fun works fast and furious. His wife, who is oppcteed to everything connected with the stage, attempts to keep the whole household from attending the performance, and the means she takes to do so bring out some very humerous situations. But as all stories end, ‘They lived happily ever after.’ So too, the professor and wife are reconciled. CAST OF CHARACTERS Justinian Babbitt—Prof, of Anct.

It contains one of the deadliest poisons known namely nicotine. It is said that there is enough in one cigar to kill two men if it were all taken into the circulation, but a great deal passes off in the smoke, therefore even making the smoke dangerous. The fact that boys, when they first start to smoke, become sick shows that it must bo harmful. But after awhile the boy becomes so hardened and used to it that it doesn’t phase him. Think of the enormous sums of money spent on tobacco and matches in one year. It has been estimated that in one year one hundred fifty-eight million dollars had been spent for cigarettes alone. If that money could only be spent for the good of humanity what a lot of happiness it would create. V Smoking does more harm to a boy than to a man for it retards his development. How pitiful it is to see a young boy with good stuff in him to make something of himself, with his thumb and two fingers puffing away at a “coffin nail.’’ Nicotine is a drug, consequently like other drugs it creates a craving that must be satisfied so the boy smokes another and yet another cigarette. There are few parents that would sanction their son to smoke, if they knew it. The son knows this and tries to keep the fact from them. Therefore he lies and deceives. “Oh what a tangled web we weave when once wre practice to de- ceive.” His standard of morality is lowered and his self-respect suffers. If he hasn’t the money to buy the cigarettes with, he is liable to steal it. How many jobs can a cigarette smoker get that are worth while? Not many. Cigarette smoking, or any form of smoking for that matter, is taboo in most industries and shops whose manager is on to his job in regard to efficiency in em- ployment. Few cigarette smokers are efficient. Test after test has proved that. It is easy for the boy to go from smoking to drinking, for the smoke tends to make the mouth and throat dry. Water may help to relieve the dryness but, with the boys lowered moral standard and weakened mental power, he is easily tempted to drink. It is a dirty and offensive habit. No matter how hard he tries the odor elingi- to the smoker. His clothes carry the odor and everyone knows what an offensive smell that is. It is worse than Halitosis and a “Listerine” must be found to remedy. Why is the cigarette worse than any other form of tobacco? The cigarette smoker inhales the smoke and draws it into his lungs. The tobacco is weaker than that for pipes and cigars, usually, therefore it is difficult to inhale the smoke irom the pipe or a cigar without choking. The smoke of the pipe and cigar is absorbed by the mouth, nose and throat, while the inhaled smoke of the windpipe, bronchial tubes and the lungs. I don’t think that it is any worse for a girl to smoke than a boy. It affects them in much the same way as it does a boy. It makes them more susceptible to diseases by lowering their power of resistance and morals. It certainly ruins their self-respect. If a girl cnce loses her self-respect surely no one else will respect her. Smoking is not necessary nor useful, but they think it is smart and sporty. Why else should they do it? It is a fight for civilization to conouer tobacco habits and we must all join in the fight for the good of humanity and those who haven’t enough backbone to con- quer it themselves and keep away from the “coffin nails.” G. W. —74— JHUjat learning Joctru iiiay Dn iFnr 11 s Poeti-y is taught to children who are in the pi-imary classes in order that they may attain part of their vocabulary from it, become acquainted with the ideal, correct language and phrases and thus be influenced in their own speech. Poetry is said to be music of the universe and the child is taught from the beginning to appreciate its harmony with nature, animals and pi-actical things of life, by mem- orizing its vei'se. “Poeti-y expresses all delights of nature, better than any other means we have for expressing them.” declares one author on the subject. “It is splendid,” he con- tinues, “to see a gi-and sunset; it is fine to be able to look on a great artist’s picture of a sunset, but it is better far better to be able to remember all our lives the glorious words of some great poet who has described a sunset. Merely by re- calling his magic words the joy we first felt in looking on this beautiful effect of nature, arises in us as fresh as ever, it is ours forever!” Some lines, having once been learned, make such an impression on our minds that they are recalled when we see something or hear something that relates to that. For example, one person I know always quotes, “Blue, blue, as if the sky let fall a flower from its cerulean wall,” (taken from the Fi’inged Gentian) when- ever she sees a bright blue coloi'ing. Having once memorized “Trees” by Joyce Kilmer, how much more beautiful the ordinaiy tree along the roadside seems to us. And, “Continuous as the stars that shine and twinkle on the milky way,” is often remembered on a bright starry night. One does not truly realize the wealth he has gained in being able to appreciate nature by the memorization of poems. With the certain knowledge of good literature, and good literature is found in all tfc ; classical, established poeti'y, we can talk much more intelligently with in- telligent people with whom we are bound to come in contact sometime dui'ing our life. Ideals are built and cultivated by poetry when it is memorized. Poetry appeals to the emotions and our batter emotions are trained by the memorization of classical poems. We are taught to concenti’ate more easily if we can memorize a poem. One man says, “People who do not keep the love of poetry in their heai'ts lose one of the chief pleasures of life.” R.

Mrs. Brown, is a very nice lady, very neighborly and agreeable. Mr. Smith, is a new minister in the town, who does not know very much about his congregation, so he decides to visit some of the people, and is just preparing to call on Mrs. Brown, whom he has heard, recently lost her husband. (The curtain rises on the cosy living room of the Brown home with Mrs. Brown reading.) (A knock is heard. Mrs. Brown rises and opens the door to Mr. Smith) Mrs. Brown—Oh, dear! it is so lonely these days. Mrs. Brown-—Good day, Mr. Smith. Come in and sit down. Mr. Smith—Good afternoon, Mrs. Brown. I thought I would come over and try to comfort you in your grief for the lost one. Mrs. Brown—Yes, Mr. Smith, it is very sad and a great loss to me, but it will not be so hard to get another one in a short time. I expect to begin looking for one soon. Mr. Smith—(In surprise) But does it not grieve you to have lost such a treasure? Mrs. Brown—Oh! to be sure, I feel badly, and I do so wish that I would have been more considerate and not made him sleep on the floor these cold nights. Mr. Smith—(Very much surprised) Mrs. Brown, how can you speak so about your dear husband? Mrs. Brown—(Indignantly) My Husband! Who has been speaking of my hus- band? I have been referring to my dog that died last week. Mr. Smith—Oh! Excuse me! It is all a huge joke, Mrs. Brown, I misunderstood and thought it was your husband who had died. (Both laugh heartily as they remember their conversation) Mr. Smith—Now, I must be going and I have been very glad to make your ac- quaintance. Good day, Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown—Good day.

Dixit Labienus, “Get ye hence, ye bum, The Nervii await us cross the Rhine.” Et misit Labienus in pugna; While he stayed back of all his mighty line. Ibi Labienus vidit hostes all in view, He mopped the sweat from off his sternset brow, He semaphored his arms, If he could see his Caesar, boy But there would be a row. But Caesar with great studio, (As I before have said.) Seized magnum club Labieni And hit him on the head. Convocavit his men together, (They raised a mighty cheer.) Turn Caesar dixit, “All ye men Of valor, listen here.” Cum hostibus in front of us Et enemy behind, A fat chance we’d have with him; (Labienus on his mind.) But Caesar led a magnum rush, Upon the Nervii, They pugnant such an awful fight Apollo sat and cried. But when the fighting was all done, Cum Caesar back in camp, They held his hand high in the air, Crowning him the world’s champ. Now that’s what Tommy told ’tis true, Haec fabula, to be, Multi mistakes, quod history Et Tommy, non agree. A member of Senior-Latin. HOW HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS TAKE THEIR EXAMS It is very interesting to see the different pupils take their exams; it is as interesting as the end of the straw hat season at a base ball game; almost. Some take their paper and go right to work. Is it because of the desire to get it over; or because their store of knowledge is so great that the overflow prompts quick action? Some work a while and then they seem to gaze around them to see how the rest seem to be getting along. Too much sympathy for others. I have often wondered what some ai’e thinking about! They have a far off look in their faces: then all of a sudden a big smile will appear—the dawn of light! They hux ry to put it down before they forget it. Then there are those who lazily plod thru the task. Each question is punctuated with a yawn—who can keep awake if they study until two o’clock? Which of these are you? B. R. —78— Cttt3cnsl)tp We often hear it said: “We need to inculate a greater respect for law!” But we'agree with this statement that, ‘We need rather to spiritualize law,’ to get so fundamental an understanding of law that will take possession of our emotions and we will affirm that we love law! The emotional life of every child ought to be well trained. A lasting happiness depends on the love of law. The entire world is a law and this manifests a supreme love. Our very being, physical growth, health, mental growth, and spiritual life are dependent upon law. Food, air, water, all come to us through law. The sunshine and starlight were created by the law of day and night. Even our heart throbs are goverened by law. We know law never punishes, it always blesses. If we obey the law it brings happiness, if we do not obey it bring calamity. We are out of harmony with the law if a calamity befalls us. Let us observe the laws as far as it is in our power to do so. We not only teach this observance in Civics class but in all classes. If this is done we will never be found wanting when the test comes. L. E. W. Graduation Hal Cochran’s Daily Poem Looka here, daughter, an’ looka here, son, you’ve finished your school, so they say. The long task of learnin’ and plannin’ is done. You’re turning to work, now, from play. Of course you are wond’ring what future’s ahead. The channel you re takin is new. You’d like some advice? Well, the best to be said, is the future is all up to you. The world doesn’t owe you a living at all. Don’t let the idea get set. You’ll rise to the top on your own; or you’ll fall. You’ve got to earn what you get. The knowledge within means a whole lot without but not without usin it well. The way the game’s played works your salvation out, and may mean success. Who can tell? Forget you’ve been leaning on others for years. Just tuck your diploma away. Step out full of fight and allay all your fears, ’cause the world gains thru work.

The flowers were singing sweetly, The birds were full of bloom. Then I went into the basement To sweep an upstairs room; The time was Tuesday morning On Wednesday just at night. I saw a thousand miles away A house, just out of sight, The walls projected backwards, The front was round in back, It stood alone with hundreds, The fence was white-washed black. It was moonlight on the ocean, Not a street car was in sight; The sun was shining bright, And it rained all day that night. It was a summer day in winter, The rain was snowing fast, A barefoot boy with shoes on Stood sitting on the grass, While the organ peeled the potatoes, I ard was rendered by the choir.

We all appreciate the things she tried to do, And will all regret when H. S. days are thru. Her motto :“Early to bed and early to rise” Is the reason that the Seniors became so wise. Now all ye lower classmen, take these grains of advise Learn your lessons daily and you’ll get along nice. Anon MOST EMBARASSING MOMENTS Elaine Dewar:—The day she forgot to study her Latin lesson. Everetta Nelson:—When no one yells at a basket ball game. Gladys Wood:—When Arnold asks her for a date. Beryl Round:—When Andy asks her to recite in history.

And by our notes we oft recite. ”'o read from books, papers and so Of nil great things we learn to know. ' c listen to our- teachers tell Of how to do our lessons well. And other things not quite so pleasant, TThon our minds slip off the present. So we learn and so -we know. Now the rippling rivers flow; . o the Homans used to speak; How they acted far from meek; Of the use of water pressure; to compute and to measure; Of geometry under Moll, And how to play basket ball . These and many more we learn, When our minds to school we turn, let us all work hard and fast So we'll not regret the past. But glory always in out knowledge And be good and fit for college. A. Li.
