All of us, since childhood, have had an ideal of what a gentleman should be. The boy of three or four, when he 'takes his first lessons in deportment, is told to be a little gentleman, and the model held up be- fore him is always the father in whom he sees no fault and from whom he knows noth- ing but kindness. It is natural for us to be- lieve in the gentleman and the term is always associated in our minds with those men near- est and dearest to us, and this very associa- tion of the name- with those we love, and who are kind to us, teaches us to measure the standard of a gentleman by his kindness. As we grew older our ideas broadened and we learned that there were other qualifica- tions 'neeessary to perfect, as Thackeray says, the ideal of agentlemanhoodf' In the days when the knights lived and flourished, they were supposed to be unblemished gen- tlemen and the title then meant birth, fam- ily, courtliness in manner, bravery in battle and a heritage of wealth. But kindness was their motto and this implied kindness to all -ladies especially. History and literature have given a long list of these who embodied in themselves many of these characteristics, but fe-w that could lay claim to all. In the register of kings and monarchs who have occupied the thrones of Europe, so few can be found that they might be told upon the fingers. But Anglo-Saxon literature has furnished three delightful types of the gentleman-Sir Rog- er de Coverly, the simple, loving old man, Sir Charles Grandison, the perfect Christian, and Sir Philip Chesterfield, the model of eX- quisite manners. Even at presen.t many of these requisites of knighthood are still retained abroad to justify the use of the epithet, but in this country there is nothing so Kkingly as kind- nessj' and if to this be added self-control and refinement of manners, it may be said of each man: . Thus he bore without abuse, The grand old name of gentleman. lt is certainly desirable to bear without abuse this honored name which has been misused under many circumstances. The unrefined man may veil his ill-breeding for a time but the ego in him will assert itself, try as he may to keep it hidden. It is far from the strength of any man constantly to act a part 5 he cannot keep up a chain of de- eeits and the observant person can readily detect the artifices that any real gentleman would consider beneath him, for, as Sir Philip Sidney says, A churlls courtesy rarely comes, but either for gain or false- hoodf, V The reason a true gentlemants courtesy al- ways comes is because he has so many de- lightful memories to reflect -upon. He has the recollection of a happy childhood and the softening influence of a mother's love and training always before him. A man never forgets them p The men who have not had this early training have tried various ways to deceive the world, but they have never succeeded and have only shown the beauty and the strength in the name. In practicing the de- ception they have tried the effect of fine clothes and of elegant manners, and some- times by the seeming possession of knowl- edge they have tried to pass themselves into the society of gentlemen, but they always fail . - - With the name gentleman the name lady is always associated and the names are simply inseparable. You can not think of one without the other any more than you can think of a king without a queen. A knight of old would not have been very romantic or chivalrous if it had not been for the Uladie faireu he had to defe-nd. And the title lady coming to us with all the associations of old brings with it as much grandeur and honor as the name gentleman does. It is true of ladies as well as of men that ill breeding cannot be hidden under false manners and fashionable dress very IO THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. long, but for some reason women have been accused of doing this more than men. lt does not follow necessarily that there are fewer ladies than gentlemen in the world. The same general principles apply in the making of a lady as of a gentleman: SA simple maiden in her flower, Is worth a hundred coats-of-arms. lt is not royal insignia. or birth that makes a lady, for a virtuous, simple girl with good early training may become a lady with all that the name implies. In summing up all the requisites for the right to these names let us place first this one of kindness.. May all learn to be kind, to forbear, to be considerate of the feelings of others. Then shall we approach the near- er to the perfect lady and the perfect gen- tleman. In introducing the class of 1902 to the ladies and the gentlemen of this au- dience, I submit them to your kindness-we are pleased to greet you. IPR? KEY TO CLASS OF 1902. 1. Miss Barton. 2.

From the beginning of modern literature there have been certain characteristics which a hero and heroine must possess, and cer- tain deeds. which they must perform, to con- form with the requirements of an orthodox i ' novel. At first the characters were all either good or bad, but as time went on writers of fiction grew more introspective and their heroes and heroines took mildly contra- dictory traits of character. As with the characters, so with the plots, there were certain ones which gave authors greater privileges and wider scope, than others. One of these was the plan of having the heroine run away. This was not gen- erally made use of, however, until the threads of the story were so tangled up in the read- er's mind that there was no other way but this for the hero and heroine to live hap- pily ever afterfp When there was absolutely no hope of both a consistent and a happy ending, the heroine left the paternal roof to fly to her lover, or to try her fortunes in the world. If she w-ere good, all went smoothly 5 but, woe betide her, if she failed to reach the standard of perfection, for her adventure led only to dire disaster, and punishment for her waywardness was meted out by a just but cruel fate. The plan of the interesting but naughty runaway grew in favor until we find lovely and youthful ladies fugitives, almost from the beginning of the book. Occasionally some story t-eller either ex- tremely bold or of a melancholy turn of mind flew in the very face of all the established rules of etiquette in running away, and made the good and beautiful young lady come to grief in her flight. Such a pitiful maid is Juliet, who steals away at night to marry Romeo, but alas, for her, poor lady, she 'eventually meets her death through a series of fatal mistakes which occur, of course, through no fault of hers, except that of eloping. Exactly opposite is the case of thc more modern heroin-es of fiction, who Hee to escape marriage. Recall, if you please, the dainty Jocelyn in the new-old book, 'fTo Have and to Hold, who sails by stealth to Virginia to avoid marrying the man whom the king, her guardian, wishes her to marry. her . of ieir .Ta- rts 5 ors ian ing en- ads ad- but ap- ely JPY t to the ly 5 the led her out ity ely om ex- ind ied ind Ldy ful to ly 5 1 a of hat of rho Lse, To to om ry. THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. II ln Virginia, she and everybody else have enough trials and tribulations to punish her for her naughtiness, but then, she gains hap- piness in the end. Not always did th-e runaways run away for love, but often out of pure kindness of heart. Her beautiful friendship for her cousin, Rosalind, led Celia, when the former was condemned to exile, to l-eave the palace, their home, to go to the woods with Rosalind. Such an unselfish spirit, must, of course, be rewarded, as it is, and the story leaves both Celia and Rosalind with a husband as a re- ward of merit. But one author severely criticises the time honored runaway plot. We behold,', he says, young ladies traveling over the coun- try without a change of wardrobe or a penny in their pockets. He finds fault generally with the misguided damsels, and ends with: Why not let them stay at home where they belong and b-e happy? Evidently this au- thor cannot understand the sympathy which we feel for the timid maiden who dares so much, whatever the cause. We have a pe- culiarly keen interest in her from the time she makes her resolution, until the time when, her plans completed in spite of threat- ening dangers, she stands wrapped in her dark, hooded cloak tremblingly awaiting the sound of gravel against her window pane, which is the necessary signal that all is ready for her flight. We do not approve of her-oh, no! far from it, and we are con- scious of some pity for her sorrowing parents -for the runaway has probably left con- sternation in her wake, yet our compunc- tions are not unmixed with censure for the severity which forced the maiden out into the cold world. If she is going to meet her lover, we hope all may be well, but if she go from an uniselfish motive, we are indeed im- patient with wicked fortune-or a perverse writer-if misfortune befall her. Women runaways have caused the most dreadful calamities. Possibly Helen of Troy, whose story has furnished us with one of our most useful and familiar bits of lit- erature, little dreamed of the immense up- heaval which would follow her flight-for I have always believed it was flight, not theft -yet her elopement caused a war between two nations. She was a woman, not an im- pulsive girl, and so we cannot condone her offense as we can and do, the runaways of the charming but mischievious maidens' who lacked the age and experience which would have caused them to think more seriously before following the bent of their own sweet wills. - Jessica possibly claims our indulgence more than she would otherwise, because the father she deserted was a cruel and unnatural parent. Poor old man! He is doubly be- reaved as he bemoans his loss on th-e streets of Venice. 'fMy daughter, O, my ducatsl Justice find the girl, She hath the stones upon her, and the ducatsf' He seems equally divided be-tween sorrow for loss o-f his daughter and anger at the loss of his moneys, and one wonders if he does not wi.sh his daughter back simply that he may regain his moneys. Then, too, there arises a doubt in my mind as to whether Lorenzo himself was as entirely indifferent to those ducats as he might have been. We are inclined, perhaps, to be blinded to such a possibility by the pretty love making of the romantic J ewess and the gallant young Venetian, but nevertheless the thought of filthy lucre seems to run quite frequently through the latteris mind, 'for even in the stars he finds a suggestion of wealth as he calls upon Jessica in the midst of a love scene to Look how the floor of heaven ls thick inlaid with patines of bright gold. Now, I would advise young ladies to re- main at home under their parent's protect- ing wing, else they may come to the sad and lamentable end of Desdemona, who fell Vic- tim to the jealousy of the very man for whom she disobeyed her father, and left her home. Runaway heroines are all very well in books, very interesting and very enter- taining, but in real life we would better have the obedient girl. I2 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. ESSAY. OUR NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS. STELLA onoss. Nature has endowed this country with such an excess of vitality in her people that all the nations of the world find within an American some characteristic that is to be found no where else. This may perhaps be due to his compositeancestry, for from his French ance.stor he getshis wit and vivacity, from the Celt, his nimble brain and keen rel- ish for fun 5 from the Dutch, his cleanliness and honesty, from the Spaniard, his dark complexion, from the Scandinavian, his golden hair and blue eyes 5 and to his Eng- lish ancestor he owes his sturdiness and strength of character. The blending of all these qualities gives him as his natural char- acteristics, quickness of understanding and keenness of perception. It was the Pilgim of Massachusetts, the Dutchman of New York, the Quaker of Pennsylvania, the Swede of Delaware, and the Cavalier of Virginia, who united in building up the individuality and in contrib- uting to the greatness and the unexampled progress of this magnificent country. The peculiarities of our population, which some have th-ought misfortunes, are in reality the happiest circumstances attending the settle- ment of this broad land. The American is such an interesting per- son. He reads a great d-eal and can talk easily on any question. He takes a broad view of the worldps events. Perhaps this is due to the commingling of so many people of all nationalities, and in order to appear as fully conversant with national and interna- tional affairs as those with whom he asso- ciates, he keeps up with all the news of the day. Foreigners have often been heard to say: The Amerie'an's view of life is so wholesome and frank, his originality is so marked, his flashes of wit are so genuine and bright that his talk is like a tonic? He seems like a bit of fine metal easily bent, but unbreakable, readily turned, twisted and -vm. ,,...-- - wrought into any form or shape and yet re- taining all the inherent qualities. It is this power of adapting himself to all or any conditions which makes him a constant surprise to the observer of other nations, and an enigma to the slower, duller minds of foreign lands. If he has a fault it is no doubt that of a too great exuberance both of under- standing and of perception. He see.s too quickly, he concludes too readily. This very richness in intellect is shared also by his sis- ter. She is at once the wonder and delight of all who meet her, true, she sometimes causes an uplifting of the brows, but if, as is predicted in London, the girl of the twen- tieth century is to resume the manners of the seventeenth century models, then with this toning down, the girl of America may hope to become the ideal of femininity. We Americans have taken a stand among the nations of the earth and have success- fully asserted our claim to political equality. We possess an enviable elevation so far as con- cerns the structure of our government and the energy of our institutions-those institu- tions which established by our forefathers, we hold in trust for all mankind. It is this assurance that all men possess of their right to a nationality in America that is gradually spreading over the face of the earth the spirit of independence, once our only inherit- ance 5 and to Americanize the world may ,not in future generations be so chimerical an idea as it now appears. It is not to be wondered at, that brea-thing always in this independent atmosphere the American should be self-assertive as com- pared with the polished nations of the old world, but is it undesirable to be so stamped? He recognizes no difference in caste, and his aggressiveness creates a fric- tion whicd grinds to a powder the barriers raised between men, and his breath blows it away. These barriers broken down between him and his fellowmen he learns to love his kind and with that greater love- for man there comes a greater love for God. In Puritan days where his forefathers bowed in duty to a king they were God-fearing men, but now e re- ? to him rver gma zign that der- too fery sis- ight mes , as ren- the this rope on g ess- ity. zon- and itu- ers, this ight ally the arit- ,not an ring the om- old so ' in 'ric- iers 's it 'een his rere ltan J to iow f I THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. I3 when he acknowledges no allegiance to any but God, if he is not a God fearing man he is a. God-loving one. T-ime will no doubt effect for the bet- ter many changes in him, but in this year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and two, the sum of all the excellenees that na- ture has transmitted to him, more than bal- ance the deficiencies that the too rapid growth and too ea.sy rise consequent upon his environment have given him. It is, however, a pleasure and a glory to be one with him for he is after all the best, the noblest, the truest type of man to us-an American. A? 2? ORATION. THE CONCERN OF EVERY MAN. FRANK H. EYMAN. On the 14th day of February, 1776, Thom- as Paine closed the introdfuction to his pamphlet, 'fflommon Sensef, with these words: alt is the concern of every man to whom nature hath given the power of feel- ing? This assertion, though somewhat sweeping in its character, aroused men to a higher comprehension of their duty, and if those were troublous times as compared with these of today, now, even as then, the wel- fare of his country should be the concern of every man. We have been accustomed to place upon the general government all re- sponsibility for its future welfare, but this responsibility lies not only with the govern- ment. but with each individual, and in no way can he better fulfill his obligations than by a careful attention to his duties as a citizen. The popular idea that a man's accountabil- ity ceases with the casting of his vote, has proved a hindrance to the best development of good citizenship. This is the greatest fal- lacy that has taken possession of our people and has done much to shift the burden from the shoulders o-f the individual, where it properly belongs. The government, it is true. has its own part to perform, but every true citizen should deem it his part to pro- mote not only in himself, but also in his fe-l- lowmen, a high order of citizenship. p The duty of a man to his fellow citizens begins at home. A good municipal citizen is always a go-od national citizen, for he who earnestly considers the small affairs of his city will be proportionately earnest in his consideration of the larger ones of the na- tion. One of the greatest detriments to good cit- izenship is the unjust accummulation and improper use of vast wealth. Anyone- who obtains great riches for himself by depriving his fellow citizens of the necessaries and com- forts of life, violates one of the first princi- ples o-f good citizenship. When a number of persons band themselves together for such purposes the law now attempts to regulate their movements, but the inadequacy of the law in such eases has been shown so often that if there is -to be any change for the better it must come through the effo-rts of the individaul himself . Great riches after their accummulation cannot be distributed without injustice. It would seem that the proper plan for the ap- portionment of wealth would be in the gath- ering. This idea has been taken up by the modern co-operative societies, which have formulated and in some instances success- fully carried out plans, the chief objects of which are the proper distribution of wealth, and the advancement of good citizenship. Then, too, a very important function which these societies perform, is to weaken the de- structive force of trusts. These by their avaricious business meth- ods cause much strife and ill feeling. And the individual being unable to compete with their combined money interests finds him- self out of harmony with his fellowmen, whereas, it should be the concern of every man to see that peace and good will exist at all times. This last assertion applies in small aiairs, as well as in large ones. A man's obligation to the locality in which he lives, should be no less than it is to the nation in which he lives. A due regard for the concerns of his neighbor will readily teach him that noth- 1-9 . - I4 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. ing should obtain that would be detrimental to the morals or health of the community. It is impossible for the city authorities to take notice of every minor detail in municipal matters, hence, it falls upon each citizen to endeavor to keep out of his neighborhood anything that is liable to pro-ve disadvantag- eous or hurtful. lf this cannot be accom- plished by one man, then several should unite in carrying out plans for the common good. This arrangement -has in itself much value, since the intermingling of neighbors and the congeniality brought about thereby is productive of good citizenship. It induces the discussion of political and social ques- tions, and is instrumental in making the people better informed and broader minded. Personal contact creates a keener personal interest and infuses a des-ire in each to- bene- fit the other. Some recognition 'has already been given this idea. The factory of today is built with careful attention to sanitation and to the comfort of employees and is fully equipped with all devices that afford health and pleasure. An employer who is thus con- siderate of those who labor for him deserves the title of a good citizen. Perhaps the hardest clas.s of men to deal with is the politician-he who earns his way by his power over other men. Not all men who earn their living in this manner are bad, but the majority sooner or later, are led, by the desire of personal gain, to become cor- rupt. This class of men is a constant menace to good citizenship. What they gain is al- ways at the expense of the peaceful and law abiding citizen. The ease with which they seem to accomplish their aims, by its very attractiveness, exerts an evil influence, es- pecially upon the young. But it is upon the youth that the future welfare of our nation depends, and to secure the greatest success of our country the young people must be care- fully instructed, and it becomes every man's concern to see that the highest ideals of good government and good citizenship are held be- fore the rising generation. At the present day, more than ever before, lt is imperative that children should be reared in the proper manner and much care should be exercised to keep them from the many temptations thrown in their way. If all people were true citizens this would not be necessary, but it is a deplorable fact that there are many bad citizens and this condi- tion of affairs cannot be immediately reme- died. It will change only when good citizen- ship has increased and evil environments have been removed. ' Environment is one of the great makers of character. While a man may have within him all the inherent qualities necessary to a perfect manhood, he must have about him surroundings that are conducive to their best development. It therefore becomes the concern of every man to provide such condi- tions as will tend to uplift and ennoble, and that he not only strive-s to do right himself, but that he in every conceivable way makes it possible for others also to do right. R' fi' ORATION. WHEN GOLD IS DISCOVERED. WILLIAM P. HATCH. Nothing has ever proved as great a magnet for all mankind as' the gold which nature melted in her crucible with the other ele- ments that go to make this earth. Man has seemed always to know its many uses. Thou- sands of years before the Babylon spoken of in the Bible, history tells of a city which made itself beautiful by decorations of gold. Judeats shekels of gold were the standard in barter and trade. While Greece begins her earliest history in the search for the golden fleece, and to Paris' award to Venus of the apple of gold we owe the mighty war which gave that sea. girt land a never to be forgotten place in the story of the world. Oddly enough, this magnet has seemed to draw man always toward the West and to the love of gold Rome owed the splendor and magnificence that were to prove her downfall. Buried in the ruins of this fallen empire, the mighty loadstone seemed for centuries to have lost its power of attraction.

When after three months of tossing on an unknown sea, he reached land and learned that this was a new contin- ent, these a new people, it was the story of the gold discovered in the possession of these people that he carried back to the old world. Great expeditions were fitted out and sent to this new land and occasional settlements sprang up along the coast. But few came with the intention of remaining or making themselves a home while many came with the idea of finding great wealth and return- ing home to enjoy it. But as they must dig and delve they needs must have shelter-rough habita- tions were thrown up which grew and spread and then, as if ' by some fickle turn of the earth, the gold vanished, leaving only the rude homes and the untilled soil around them. One could almost fancy it a plot of nature's to trick men into filling up these unfilled lands. With only this rough heritage left them they must force from the earth, at least the means of sus- tenance and in their struggle they, by and by, found the soil had entered into their bone and sinew-they loved it-their chil- dren loved it, something better had entered into life. Gold, the magnet, no longer drew them. Will it have no power over their chil- dren? Four centuries passed away, the whole At- lantic slope echoed to the blows of hammers, and the sounds o-f many industries. Man came in contact oftener with his fellowmen, occasionally he trod upon him and frowned because there was not room. There was a vast region to the westward, but it was a savage country that he did not care to enter. Nature- beckoned once more, and on that far off Pacific coast she flung a shining nugget under the spade of a man as he turned the sod and gold was discovered Vg not gold only but a territory vast in extent and rich in re- sources. Man hurried there, and in the first frenzy of his desire to gather all he could he forgot everything but himself 5 forgot the rights of others and before long was as degraded as the dirt he worked in. Might was right- but only for a short time. As in all other cases with the settling up of the country, man thought of bettering his new abode, and as his children grew up they knew no other home. Schools were built for their educa- tion and churches for their worship and soon the town grew into the city. The output. of gold grew greater and the unsafe prairie schooner that carried it to the East gave way to the great Pacific' railroad. After the building of this road, towns rapidly sprang up 5 these later developed into cities, and the whole western portion of this great country of ours was populated. Then as before, the gold gradually disappeared. One can scarcely realize the hardships man will suffer and endure in his search for this yellow metal. After gold had been dis- covered in Alaska, countless numbers went into that cold and desolate count-ry. There, with poor food and insufficient shelter, they toiled to obtain this king of metals. In the first few years of mining it was not thought safe to remain in this bleak climate through all the cold months, but now it has been improved so much that winter is not dreaded more there than in some of the neighboring states. Not all who journeyed there have been fortunate enough to gain wealth, but they have become accustomed to the country and found other values than the one they sought. Now, looking back over the places where gold has been discovere-d the question arises, Ts this Nature's method of populating and eivilizing the world P Whenever a new region is ready, to be settled this great metal makes its appearance and after it has drawn many people to it then it passes from view, leaving its victims to improve the country in other lines. Nature has her own magic means of ac- complishing her purposes and why not the placing of gold in hidden places, at the right time to reveal it to mankind? Surely there is no better way to send man to the utter- most parts of the earth. l I y z .. ill' ' r yi My yi i i l , . i l.t ii l mg , l l l i l wi lt mi al Ml ii 'tt .ii ijl W. .ll it if ll 5 1 Ll ii.

So much is contained within the term valedictory that one can scarcely grasp the full import of its meaning at a single glance. The word has come down to us, through years of time, from the Latin vale, farewell, and dico, to say, hence valedictory, to say farewell. This word implies more of gladness and more of sadness than any other word in the English language because the person who bids farewell to friends always has the hope of success before him and the ones to whom the farewell is spoken are anxious for his welfare and happiness. Usually the term valedictory is used only when speaking of the departure of a gradu- ating class from its parent college, but there seems to be no good reason why we should confine the term to this one class of indi- viduals, for everyone knows that this world is filled with partings and farewells for all. If we consider the word in its broadest meaning, we may say that the first valedic- tory in life comes when the little child who has played about his motherjs knee for four or five years must say good-bye to his play- things and start for school. Although he is yet too young to realize th-e meaning of this change we find him eager to enter school, but his mother, on the other hand, cannot help a pang of anxiety for his safety as she stops h-er work and watches him trip lightly and happily down the street each morning. The next breaking of the ties comes to him when about seven years later he is grad- uated from the ward school and must say good-bye to techers, classmates, and friends, either to start out into the world to earn a living or to step into a higher school. If he choose the latter, in the course of a few months, we may find him preparing to le-ave home for his chosen college. We see him moving about, his face radiant with joy, cheerfully taking his leave of this friend, or that one and impatiently awaiting his de- parture, so 'that he may speedily enter upon the brilliant prospects which he fancies are strewn along the path before him. He looks only on the bright side of things, he thinks that no matter what may happen to others all will be well with him. But his parents who have learned 'to make allow- ances for the optimism of youth, have an entirely different idea. They fully realize the possibility that some of the many tempta- tions to which he will be subjected may prove too strong for him to resist. Almost a man, he arrives at college, where he remains several years, so thoroughly wrapped up in the diligent pursuit of knowl- edge that he scarcely finds time to make more than an occasional short visit home during vacation. In time he becomes so much at- tached to the college that he almost regards it as his home. But then just as this feeling has gained a firm hold upon him, another graduating day arrives and he recognizes more fully what it means to sever all his school friendships and relations which seem dearer to him than any others he will after- ward form. ' 1 No doubt, when he entered school he looked forward to his graduating day with intense longing and even. wished to change places with some of the seniors of that year. How- ever, since that time many changes have taken place. Many friendships have been formed 5 he has grown to honor and respect his teachers and even 'though the future is very bright and full of promise for him, yet he hesitates to say farewell to his college days-the happiest period of his life. He begins to realize that he can no longer look upon his teachers as bearing quite the same relation to him as when in school. That they consider he has received enough of mental and moral training 'to know what to do and what not to do and moreover that he should be able to set a fitting example for others to emulate. He feels that he owes a certain debt to the school which he can repay only by prudence, diligence, and honesty, so that even if he does not make his Alma Mater famous he shall at least bring no dis- credit upon her. He knows that the world expects him to use, to the best possible ad- S Ellie ings 3 PP911 .t his llow- 'e an zalize upta- Jrove vhere ighly cowl- more uring h at- gards :cling other gnize-s .l his seem af ter- ooked itense Jlaces How- have been aspect ire is n, yet ollege onger te the chool. trough what r that ale for iwes a repay sty, so Alma io dis- world le ad- THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. I7 vantage, the preparatory training he has re- ceived. To him the eyes of all are fastened upon him to see if a college trained man really is more capable than a man who has never had the advantage of such training. Yet, a glance at the boy who stopped school, on account of financial difficulties or for other reasons, will reveal that he, too, has progressed. He has now attained his ma- jority and his mind begins to burn with an uncontrollable desire to see the world and what it has in store for him. During the last few years he has begun to understand the great privation it has been for him not to be able to complete his school course, and this only makes him all the more anxious to get out into the world so that, as far as possible, he may atone for the disad- vantages he has been compelled to labor un- der. At every turn he is shown more and more fully the extent of his loss. He works faith- fully in his position, but soon sees himself surpassed by a better trained man who may not apply himself half so diligently as he. He feels that his manners are uncouth, that he lacks that polish and ease of bearing and action which is so evident in those who have received college training and that whatever he accomplishes in life must be accomplished under many unfavorable conditions. But the one thing that offers him consolation is that he lives among a free people, where men, who have been deprived of a college education, have risen by industry and close application to business. We seldom stop to think that much that we have and much that we are as a nation we owe to that farewell which our forefathers bade to their native land three hundred years ago. We seldom stop to think what that farewell meant to those who were leaving their homes and friends, crossing a broad ex- panse of ocean, to explore a strange country, to hew out a home from a dense wilderness, abounding with strange perils and disastersg to build schools for the educaition of their children and churches where they might wor- ship their f'reator as they chose. Truly, honesty, ambition, and industry-the three characteristics from which none of us should ever part, the three fundamental principles of a successful life-must have been their hope and guide. But ever and always, the valedictory clings around the class, and the name valedictor- ian, around that one who is chosen to bid farewell to friends on behalf of the whole class. Some count it an honor, and it cer- tainly is, to say farewell to teachers, class mates, and friends, and to receive their best wishes for the entire class. But what a heavy weight this honor is and what a bur- den of responsibility it carries with it. The valedietorian is impressed with the thought that of all the class he is expected to uphold the class honor and pride. He feels that he, at least is expected to do noth- ing which may bring the slightest shadow of dishonor upon his class, even though he be unable to bring it great fame. What a weight of responsibility, which others are free from, bears down on his shoulders! How timid and grave he feels as he faces the representatives of the Board of Education for the last time and realizes that, in a meas- ure they are responsible for him. As he looks into the pleasant faces of the audience, they, too, seem to take an interes't in him which lends him an inspiration for better work in th-e future. True, later in life, he may point with pride to the time when he was valedictorian, but yet he also recognizes the fact that unless he amounts to something in life, unless he has made a record to be proud of, he will be ashamed to refer to the occasion, for his friends will wonder why he has not accom- plished more and will be disappointed at his failure. And now, classmates, as graduates of Westport High School, may we write in in- delible characters upon the pages of our memories, 'cldsse duam vid-erif' so that when we have reached the afternoon of life, and it comes our turn to say that last farewell, be- fore stepping into that land where there are no farewells, we shall go with as much joy and expectation as we depart from our school life into young manhood and young womanliood to-night.

We have not plundered as we went, yet it occurs that defeat has not been failure. Our football team was sometimes outplayed, al- ways outweighed. Our basket ball team though scarred with many wounds, still lives to hope, they figure that next year when they are all ten pounds heavier and Perry one foot taller they will trail some victorious banners in the dust. The baseball team at present writing has one victory and four de- feats to its credit. The phrase, Kto its cred- it,U is use-d advisedly, for the defeats have been such as to prove the merit of the team. The two games with Manual were lost by virtue of raw umpiring and confusing yell- ing. The last game with Kansas City, Kas., must be charged to Westport's adverse star, there is only one game in which we acknowl- edge a clean cut defeat, the first game with Kansas City, Kas. As far as the future can be forecasted the prospects for athletic victories next year are better. Our base ball team especially prom- ises unusual strength and we are very hope- ful.

The most important changes involved are an initiation fee of 25,cents, and an executive committee to manage such business as does not require a meeting of the association. At the beginning of the year the member- ship list will be opened and the payment of 25 cents will entitle a boy to membership in the association, which carries with it the privilege to use the supplies belonging to the association such as foot ball, base ball and basket ball material. The understanding is that no student not a member of the asso- ciation can use this material. It is right that the boys getting the pleasure from these things should support them financially. It is e-xpected that this new arrangement will put the association on a more business- like basis and that athletics will be better managed than heretofore. In the five games of base ball this spring Bruner heads the batting list. He has 12 runs to his credit and has made only 6 outs. His work behind the bat has been somewhat erratic, but on the whole he has been a very valuable man to the team. In the game against Central, Vogel distin- guished himself by getting two home runs, one when the bases were full. He has since distinguished himself in other fashions when the bases were full. He has played a steady game at short. His throwing has been per- feet. Bob Hornbuckle at third has never thrown the ball away or failed to give a good ac- count of himself. Though somewhat weak at the bat in the early games, he has found the ball and is hitting well. , ' A .. wi-m f-' -we - ' 'W ' V-- ' - ' ' M ' ,......-ans --- if-H41 ' 'i THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHQOL HERALD. 31 Will Ilornbuckle has played a strong game in the field putting several men out at first by quick throws. He, too, has .improved greatly at the bat and will be a source of strength to next yearis team. James in left, the only Southpawj' has been right there on every occasion 5 he seemed to have lost his eagle eye in the first K. C., K., game, but found it before the Manual game and cracked out a homer down the third base line. Samuels was unanimously elected captain and has done well with the boys. He is the only player not planning to return next year and we shall feel his absence. Although he has not led to victory he has developed a team of which he need not be ashamed, and the boys have appreciated his share in the working out. John Hall has played center field and pitched, 'doing both with excellent success. In the second game against Manual he es- pecially distinguished himself by two beauti- ful catches, which went far toward holding Manualis score down. He has also proved one of our good batters. Thomason, who has done most of our pitching, deserves especial eommendation. Barring a little wildness he has a phenome- nal record for the games played. He is the member of the team whom we could least spare. We congratulate Westport that he has two more years of pitching for her ahead of him. With more speed and better con- trol, which he will acquire by next season, his equal will not be found in the league. His batting puts him second in our list of hitters, an unusual thing for a pitcher. Gallagher, who has officiated at the initial bag, has lelt few get away from him and has accepted some difficult ones. He start-ed off in the season as a sure hitter, getting four safe ones in the Central game, but has lost his batting eye to some extent. We figure that in the three years he has yet in Westport High School we may expect a creditable showing from him. Ed Gillespie, who was one of our most faithful and promising candidates at early practice, was forced to be absent from school during a large part of the season. His pres- ence in the last game with Kansas City, Kansas, added strength to the team, especial- ly at the bat. We hope to be able to count on Ed for next year. Fisher is the only substitute who has had an opportunity to play. He was in the en- tire game at Chelsea Park and gave a good account of himself, catching a nice fly in right field in the first inning. Perry Smith, grand high keeper of the bat, has been a faithful and important part of the base ball history and we want to ex- press to him our thanks.

A great deal has been said about the phy- sical training of girls and the problem is at last solved, good, thorough training and out of door exercise are the only things re- quired to fit a woman to be man's superior. She has long been his equal. The girl o-f today is a different being from the girl of a few years past, with her vinai- grette and readiness to faint at the slightest provocation. With her nerves in a quiver, she used to lose her head in time of excite- ment. The Westport High School girls do no such senseless thing. Not even When Dr. Berger, by mistake, locked them in the gym- nasium. Miss Lofton coolly suggested climb- ing from the window. Now, anyone can see what a practical suggestion that Was, consid- ering that the gymnasium is on the top floor and that the roof leading from it is steep and slate covered. Even the beginning of the Westport High School gymnasium Was Wonderful. Three THE BASKET BALL MASCGT. vears ago a group of girls assembled in one of the class rooms to discuss the advisability of having a gymnasium and of course the bloomer question came up-presto-Billy Hatch made his descent through the ceiling right into their midst. The room was di- rectly beneath the gymnasium and Billy had ventured out onthe rafters in search of a ball, when he quite unexpectedly came through. It was all done so quickly that Billy did not have time for surprise, nor to learn the outcome of the bloomer question. During these three short years the progres- sive spirit of Westport High has been shown by the gymnasium girls as much as in any other department. They have now besides the gymnasium proper, an attractive dressing and lounging room, with comfortable lockers arranged around the walls. The tive windows facing Westward are prettily draped in spotless White cur- tains. The Walls are covered With dainty pictures and posters of all kinds, and a tall pier glass is beside the dressing table. The long Window-seat with its pile of bright cush- ions furnishes the room with vivid color, rocking chairs, scattered about, invite rest after exercise. The matting on the floor is in our school colors, the rugs scattered here and there, the table littered with books and up-to-date magazines, complete the air of easy luxury in this bright, sunny room, the room of the real girls. In spite of the ease suggested by this at- tractive room the athletic girls are accus- 34 THE WESIPGRT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. tomed to do good work and play a good basket ball game every week. The team of 1901 was eminently success- ful, though one game was lost and that was all they played. The team of 302 was a strong one and did excellent work-though defeated by Central again they have born de- feat with heroic fortitude, learned doubtless from the boys. It was the girls who purchased the basket ball set and later the boys saved up their pennies and purchased a new ball. We will draw a veil ov-er their unchivalrous conduct regarding the loan of that precious posses- sion. We use it now, so we can afford to be generous. When we challenged the boys to a game, Mr. Underwood took the matter in hand and said he would have to take time to think it over. He is still taking time. He doubtless recalls the overwhelming defeats the boys suffered in the days when they played cap- tain ball with the girls. A bit of advice-When you get tired of walking, run.

Miss Ducret is an excellent player, but really did meet her match in John L. Sul- livan, on April 30, 1902. Didntt she? Olive Peterson has blue eyes, but evidently prefers black ones, since she will stand and allow herself to be knocked agsfnst a stone wall. Anna Crmsby is confident of her powers as an athlete, since she can stand up in eliiss and dictate the lesson to Miss Kahn with- out any misgivings. Miss Annette Douglas is a prominent young athlete, and can lick any number of stamps-she does it behind their backs. Verna Cverholser, though a wee little girl, stopped a car the other day. That Miss Futvoye is a good player is shown by the fact that she finds extra time to manipulate her immense poinpadour be- tween times in a basket ball game. A lt is a noticeable fact that the gymnasium girls have no bulletin board, they are rather felt than seen. Alberta Creswell was hit on the nose the other day. She declares it was broken, but it can turn up very nicely still. Mr. Underwood is the champion of, the athletic girl every time-he will not let af- ternoon lessons interfere with gymnasium.

Among the many reasons for teaching science in the high school the following seem to be paramount: To train the pupils in habits of careful observation and accurate description, and to cultivate the powers of logical reasoning and correct conclusions. Many things are happening every day in the great laboratory of outdoors which, if care- fully studied, might lead us to know much that we do not. The laboratory of the school is properly supplementary to Natureis greater one already furnished. It is too frequently the case that we are not profited as we should be because of our inability to perceive, describe, think, and judge correctly. If the various studies in science can result in training the pupils to do these things they will have earned the very important place given them in the course of study. NATURAL Hrusronv. In order that these subjects may be of practical benefit much field work is done in addition to the most valuable exercises that can be given in the laboratory. Members of the Zoology classes explore Brush Creek and Hyde Park for specimens of animal life. They collect from among the classes found types for observation, dissection and com- parison. The physical geography class examines soil, sub-soil, clay, limestone and stratified rocks. Each term an excursion is made to Kansas. At 29th and Bell streets is a moraine left by a glacier of long ago. It is an interesting lesson on the formation of the earth to find here foreign rocks and gla- cial soil. The study of botany furnishes means of acquiring much information from many sources. In the laboratory of the school the pupil learns toluse and take care of the mi- croscope, to record notes of work done, to analyze and classify plants, and to examine protoplasm and cultivate bacteria. From their field work they learn that forest trees have flowers while some microscopic plants need none, that messes grow only in the shade and lichens upon bare rocks, and that all life is governed by the change of sea- sons. They have learned much of the great law of life from having discovered that plants struggle for an existence and survive only as the result of effort and adaptation. PHYSICAL SCIENCES. In physics and chemistry students per- form experiemnts according to instructions given by the teacher. The text-book is used for reference and to aid in arriving at cor- rect conclusions. Note-books are written from notes taken in the laboratory, frequent drawings represent the apparatus used. Students are taught to observe closely, to tabulate data, and to calculate results which lead to a knowledge of the laws governing the universe. The classes in physics, besides performing the experiments in the te-xt, have done about fifty exercises adapted from those required as preparation for entrance to the universities. Here is a good opportunity to learn by doing. The student works with the apparatus him- self, takes care of it, and makes more when it is needed. The habit of accounting for all phe- nomena by natural causes should be culti- vated. It saves from superstition and en- courages reverence for the Author of all law. SHOP WORK. The shop is used to excellent advantage as offering means for making much of the ap- paratus used in the laboratories. It is equipped with gas engine, wood and iron lathes, circular saws, and tools for bench work. Some exercises in sloyd suitable for the first year in the 'high school will be in- troduced next year.

The engineer had succeeded in construct- ing an airship after the fashion of Santos Dumont's-the one that did not fall into Delagoa Bay-equipped with apparatus for receiving messages by wireless telegraphy, and all other necessary conveniences for the passengers. The walls of the hall and the stage were beautifully decorated in purple and white, Welcome R. T. Cf, greeted all arrivals. The stage itself represented the stations of various cities at which stops were made. At the door, passengers were furnished with the program of the evening in the form appliances of rapid motion Nmuc Garza. of an excursion ticket, containing announce- ments, warnings to passengers, names of the states or countries in which important cities were located, etc. Some of the rules governing the journey follow: Passengers must remember that air at great elevations is very rare, therefore breathe only once in two minutesf' Little boys must not make goo-goo eyes at Venus, girls are forbidden to flirt with the Man in the Moon. tfAs greater heights are reached the ba- rometer will likely fall, donit try to catch it? f'The company is not responsible for your cold nature, don't let your shadow freeze to the deck while near the poles?

Perhaps the most successful play was that of Spion Hop, South Africa.

The young reprobates wefe par- doned on the condition that they would fur- nish music for the audience. This they did in a very pleasing manner, being recalled several times. Asa Thomason took the part of the British soldier, while Percy James made a great suc- cess in his impersonation of the native Afri- can. Wilson Lofton represented the big po- liceman. Delegates from different foreign countries had been sent by their respective govern- ments to welcome the party, their speeches teing delivered in the dialect of their coun- trymen. ln this manner addresses were made by the following persons: The address of wel- come, by Carl D..

On the evening of April 18, 1902, an ap- preciative audience witnessed the third an- nual open session of the Round Table Club. The ceiling of Allen Library Hall looked like a great sun-burst, draped, as it was, al- ternately with the colors of the Club, the pale blue and the gold, while the shield of the brave Knight was plainly in evidence over the main entrance. The first number was the Tabasco March, beautifully rendered by the Mando- lin Club, consisting of: Mr. Clyde Fife, Mr. Walter Wolf, Miss Rose Caiery, Mr. Charles Wolf, Mr. George Underwood, Miss Ruth Lofton. Then the familiar little song, f'Where Are You Going, My Pretty Maid ?7' was sung and cleverly acted out by: Mr. Howard Patton, Mr. Clyde Fif-e, Mr. Ben Gallagher, A Mr. Paul Parker, Miss Bessie Fife, Miss Evaline Hartley, Miss Shirley Allendorph, Miss Alberta Creswell. The girls made a rustically pretty picture in their sun-bonnets and long aprons, with their shining milk-pails and little three-leg- ged stools. The rendering of God'ard's C'Second Ma- zurkat' by Miss Evaline M. Hartley was en- thusiastically applauded. Then followed the delightful little farce, 4'Monsieur.'J The furnishings of the play were pretty and tasteful. Mr. Harold Clark in the title role did some excellent work, his pronunciation being especially good. Mr. Howard Patton as Tom Sellers carried the part naturally and with ease. Mr. William Kneppps interpretation of Billie Wimbledom was bright and refreshing. The character of Adrienne Marsh, by Miss Pearl Lowerre, was made charming by the grace and dignity with which it was portrayed. Miss Tenta Hill as the vivacious little Polly Philamore was excellent. The inquisitive and exacting old aunt, Mrs. Bush-Tree, found in Miss Pearl Burns a careful interpreter. She put enough spirit into the part to make it thoroughly enjoy- able. Last, but not least, by any means, was the Christina Swenson of Miss Mary Abercrom- bie. She was a delight to the audience, and her threats of Myumping her yobn furnished much amusement. Miss Abercrombie de- serves especial notice, since her part was entirely original. On the whole, the entertainment was most successful and it was with general regret that the audience saw the curtain fall for the last time. This interesting little play closed with a toast, sung by every member on the program: Ah, here's a toast-'Our Guestsj, Clionians, we greet you, We know you're just and ever true and right, In friendly contest we will always meet you, We wish you now a kind 'good night., 9' V ce, .ay ,rk 1is lr. the im JTI1 by by VRS tle nt, ins rit Jy- phe In- nd Led ie- ras ost iat :he sed :he ht, Ju, THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 41 OQQUD ABLE NVE: ROUND TABLE OLUB NOTES. The informal reception given by Miss Mary Abercrombie to the members of the Round Table Olub on the evening of March 21st was certainly the most enjoyable event of the year. The brilliantly lighted rooms were filled with a merry crowd and the time was quickly passed in music and dancing. One of the features of the evening was a 'CMusical R-omanceff in which Miss Nellie Prince won the prize as the one best versed in the popular airs of the day.

The meeting of May 4th 'will be one memorable to all society members, for they were transported from Westport High School to the brilliant court of his most roy- al highness, King Dough Dough II and his beautiful wife, Queen Dye Dough, to witness their coronation. The magnificence and splendor of the court and its personages, the grand and superb appearance of his most august majesty quite astounded our 42 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. members, who had never witnessed a spec- tacle so brilliant. Representatives from the Past, Present and Future were there, and the whole affair went off in a style cred- itable to a society whose splendid ability has already been tested. The mock coronation will not soon be forgotten for it was cer- tainly the best' entertainment offered at any of the society meetings. We have not forgotten our members who have graduated from Westport High School, and have attained some prominence else- where. Our pride in the victory of the Mis- souri Tigers over the Kansas Jayhawkers on Thanksgiving Day was perhaps greater from the fact that Bruce Forrester, who saved the day for M. S. U., was once an R.

Delightful vocal solos and quartettes have rendered many social gatherings most enjoyable. The R. T. C.

At that time we lacked the experience which we have since acquired, but nevertheless the first edition was one which immediately attracted much public attention.

Eleven years ago last December, ,Westport High School was opened. The firsttpupils were graduates from the Allen School, and though there were not many in the class, the und-ertaking proved to be a success. The building then contained five rooms, two large ones and three smaller ones. In eighteen ninety- one Miss Watson, the fifth instructor, was sent for, to teach in a room that had been finished in March. This ne-w room, with its rounded corner and pointed roof, made the pleasant little school look like a miniature fortress ng while the expanse of va- cant ground around it might have been a spacious court. Indeed, this fortress of wis- dom had only one near neighbor-the un- pretentious frame house on the opposite cor- ner. To the east the old Hendrick place on the Santa Fe trail, and the home of Mr. Squire on Troost Avenue, were the only houses to be seen. To the north, the only sign of habitation within four or five blocks was a group of cosy frame houses on Oak Street. Between the school and these houses was a spring from which all the water used in the school was carried. Aside from the car barn and several frame houses, there were no other dwellings to the north of Thirty-ninth Street for nearly a half mile. On the west, one could barely distinguish the peaks and gables of an old stone house, rising with the tree tops above other remote surroundings. In the evenings when the pupils had gone home from school, and when the last rays of the setting sun had gilded the whole scene in a flood of purple and golden twilight, the desolate spot had a look of pic'- turesque enchantment. South of the school was a vast tract of land, undisturbed by any marks of civilization. This is where Miss Watson and a number of girls were known to venture in quest of violets. These early flower gatherers may have been the first hu- man beings to have set foot on the soil after the Red Menu were driven out. Who can tell? In the midst of these surroundings Westport High School stood in delightful solitude, while the height of her position en- abled her to lord it over the other domains in the vicinity with awkward dignity. Since that time the school has made such progress that it would be difficult to recog- nize the building of eleven years ago. An addition of five large rooms, the study hall, and a gymnasium has changed the appear- ance of the structure wonderfully. Westport no longer guards a few rustic mansions, but now many beautiful homes claim the privi- lege of being her neighbor. Grand avenue, the old name of the street in front of the school,has given place to Warwick boulevard, one of the most popular thoroughfares in the city. The boulevard now extends into the once flower abounding wildel-ng-SS of the South, and it is there that Mr. Underwood, PHE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 45 our neighbors come to live in the vicinity of the school, and these newcomers have caused such an increase in the ,enrollment that al- ready a larger building seems neeggsar C: 5 y.

One Monday morning out of every two finds the pupils of Westport High School as- sembled in the Study Hall for the purpose of listening to some of the best lectures or musieales given in the city. These are fur- nished by people of experience and talent, and not only afford an hour of the most pleasant recreation, but send the pupils to their respective duties with a feeling of re- newed vigor and determination. The musical and oratorical selections fur- nish both profit and pleasure and the lec- value. tures especially are of intrinsic literary value. Too much cannot be said in favor of these entertainments, since they not only bring the pupils, teachers, and homes closer to- gether, but each time some good is gained by the pupils- which tends to strengthen their characters. Cn Patrons, Day the Art Classes gave an exhibition of their year's work and their de- signs for the Herald cover. Mr. George Van Millet and Mrs. Cornelia Cassaday Davis had been asked to judge concerning the follow- ing points: 1, best design for Herald cover 5 2, honorable mention for Herald cover, 3, best drawings to form a nucleus for a perma- nent collection to be made by the school, 4, honorable mention for drawings of unusual merit. One of the most interesting features of the morningfs program was the announce- ment, made by Mr. Underwood, of their de- cision, which was as follows: Herald Cover: Miss Frances L. Sher- wood.

Then it was nearly put out by a strong Manual wind, but at last was fairly lighted by a steady Westport High School breeze. At Macon the match burned very low for Westport, but when restored to Kansas City breezes and with a little assistance from Mr. Howland, it flared up so brilliantly and threw out so much heat that the Medico- Chi's were sent home at the rate of 6 to 0. At Leavenworth it Wavered slightly under an unlucky wind, but on its return resumed its former brilliancy an-d, in fact, was so strengthened that it prevailed against the heavy K. C. K. breeze, sending the Kansans home without their expected victory. The material for a number of matches is being manufactured in Westport High, and we look forward to a steady, enduring flame next fall. 46 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. BASKET-BALL. The distinction of being thetinventor of what has become the most popular of gym- nasium games, belongs to Dr. James Nais- mith, physical director of the University of Kansas. The game of basket-ball was first played in 1892 at the International Y. M. O. A. Training School at Springfield, Mass., when Dr. N aismith was an instructor at that institution. ' I The invention was occasioned by the lack of interest shown by the students Astor their gymnasium training, just after the close of the foot-ball season. Doctor Naismith per- ceived that something lively was required, while at the same time the rough play, so common to foot-ball, must be eliminated. One day upon entering the gymnasium the students were surprised to see two peach- baskets, nailed upon opposite walls of the room. They were told to read the rules which had been written out and fastened to the wall, and which corresponded to the present rules, except for a few minor de- tails. From this time on the game grew in popularity, until now it is played in gym- nasiums all over the world. Basket-ball is free from the violence so ob- jectionable in foot-ball, yet it has all the good qualities of the latter. It affords gen- eral exercise, all the muscles being in con- stant use. It has a double attraction in that it canbe played indoors as well as out. A team consists of tive men, and hence several may participate, making it the more inter- esting. . Westport High is justly proud of the fact that it was the first school in the city to in- troduce basket-ball into its list of gym- nasium exercises. For the past two years Westport hastakcn an active interest in the game, and many exciting contests have re- sulted. Beside the court in the gymnasium we have another outside for use in warm weather. The amount of interest taken is demonstrated by the fact that four teams have been organizedg a first and second boys' team, and a first and second girls' team. The teams this season are well equipped, and have made commendable showing. FIRST ANNUAL .DEOLAMATOARY CONTEST of the WESTPORT HIGH SOHOOL.

Now, boys, listen closely and beware, was the advice he gave. For things are not always as they seem. Well do I remember that Thursday night when, with one eye fast asleep, I stepped from the owl car three blocks beyond my get- ting off place. No sooner had I alighted when the car rushed on and I was left alone. It was one of those nights, when the clouds hang heavily in the sky, half obscuring the moon, and thereby throwing a pale, lone- some light upon the earth below, causing a fellow to shrink from his own shadow. I stood for a mom-ent and took in the situ- ation. I was alone. I started for home. A block had been passed, when suddenly a foot- step sounde-d behind me. My heart gave one awful throb, and then stood still. I quick- ened my pace, the footsteps also were quick- ened. Again my breast heaved and a thou- sand thoughts rushed through my mind, that on such a night, horrible deeds had been committed, on such a night the murderer thirsts for blood, and on such a night the footpad leaps upon his victim, leaving him without surplus cash, and halt dead. Did I look behind? No, there was no time for that. My steps were already failing,whilethose in the rear were coming nearer and nearer. I realized that I would soon be in his grasp, but this thought brought renewed desire for escape. Involuntarily I broke into a run. The man behind followed suit. The faster I ran, the faster he came. The burden on my heart was growing lighter and lighter, for I was approaching home, but just as I reached the steps, the man in the rear bounded for- ward and I realized that I was a priSOHGI'- To whom, did you ask?

One day in January, Wit,T-act, Originality, Talent and Good Nature met in Room Nine. Miss Kahn was there, and was not a bit sur- prised to see them. I have them every day, you knowf, she told Mr. Underwood. An entertainment was to be given and they had come together for a little talk. Wit suggested a Mock Graduationv and called upon Originality to carry it out. This was done and everything, even to the slightest de- tail, was arranged to be just the reverse of a real graduation. The girls wore black gowns and the boys white jackets. The diminutive diplomas were tied with heavy cord and all puncutation and capitalization on the pro- grams were reversed. Good Nature smiled all the time. Next to be considered were the separate numbers, and these were given to Talent, as- sisted by Wit. They were cleverly planned. Good Nature was the life and soul of the whole proceedings, and did not flag once. Everything went smoothly-and the result was the junior entertainment. No threadbare wittieisms thrown broad- cast to the Seniors In laughed Tact. And no stinging personalsf, said Good Nature, and the Seniors ?-well they were surprised and delighted. Needless to say the world at large awaits the real graduation of these Juniors in 903.

Quality, not quantityf, in the matter of numbers is our motto. The Clionians are very proud of the fact that the valedictorian of the class of '02 is Mr. Porter, one of the eX-presidents of the society. Hurrah for Porter! The beginning of the year, Mr. Green pre- sented a very handsome gavel to the society, with the assurance that it was but a small token of the great regard he had for us. We wish to make the announcement to the school at large and the R. T. Cfs especially that they have us to thank for the new bulle- tin b-oard, as it was the idea of a Clionian. The Clionian Society as a whole wishes to make known its appreciation and enjoyment of the open session given by the Round Table Club in our honor, and to assure them that it was a gr-e-at success. In an enterprise of any importance it is al- ways well to make some provision for future growth and progress. We have shown our appreciation of this by appropriating thirty dollars toward a sinking fund for furnishing, at some future date, a society hall. One of the most interesting numbers of the program on April 25th was a very enjoyable talk on Emerson given by Mr. Green. The programs on April 11th and April 25th, one gievn entirely by the boys and the other given entirely by the girls, were both unique and interesting. Still wanted by R. T. C.ts- A few boys for the following purposes: 1. To present a better general appear- ance. 2. To collect tickets at their open ses- sion. 3. To escort young ladies to social gatherings given by their society and do away with the necessity of borrowing Cli- onian boys. 4. To represent them on the baseball team, all players but one being Clionians. The name of the entertainment which we give every spring at Allen Library Hall has been changed from open session to annual entertainment. We shall continue to give one or more open sessions during each year at some of the regular meetings, to which all friends of the society will be invited. A Clionian upon entering the study hall one day found that the R. T. Cfs emblem had fallen on the floor. He inquired of Miss Hodshicr if that was the downfall of the Round Table Club, but she refused to sce the point. At the open session on January 31st the society resolved itself into a moot congress and proceeded to discuss the following reso- lution: That the United States should extend sympathy to the Boers in their strug- gle for liberty. Several prominent mem- bers of the national congress were imper- sonated by the speakers. This forensic con THE VVESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 53 test showed that some of our members may yet be worthy of place in the United States senate. We are proud to claim as one of our members Earl Colburn who has recently published several of his own compositions, and we appreciate the honor he bestowed on us by dedicating his first two-step to the Cli- onian Society. A wise man changes his mind, a fool never,'i is an old saying, and we have shown the truth of the adage by framing a new constitution much better than the old one. The outline now conforms to Reedts Rules o-f Order, which is the accepted author- bodies.

At the last regular meeting several honor- ary members were elected for the first time. The enrollment of honorary members will be an especial feature of the Work next year, and we feel assured that there are many treats in store for us in the way of lectures and addresses by men of note. The last program of the Clionian Society on May 8th was one of unusual interest. The business of the society for 1902 was completed and a vote of thanks tendered to Mr. Green in acknowledgment of his deep interest and untiring zeal in our behalf. Then a short chapter from Bird's Christ- mas Carolf' representing the nine Ruggles being drilled in manners was enacted and furnished much amusement. After a few words of farewell by Mr. Green and the president, the society adjourned with the feeling that the yearfs work had been a great success. 2? R?

ESSAY. A Piivsioenoivrrns. As the face of a watch presents to the eye signs of the movements going on within, so the human face divine is an index of the internal emotions. Just as truly as the watch portrays the exact condition of its ma- chinery, the physiognomy tells the story of the nature of its wearer. There are many whose physiognomies prompt them to deny this, yet it is generally accepted as true. For a careful study of faces and for a variety of subjects there are few better places than the modern street car. There We find all sizes, all shapes, and all conditions. It is peculiar that the nose, although consid- ered as only secondary in importance in the matter of expression, is the first feature noticed. Without doubt the nose is the in- dex feature, that which ever way it may turn, up or down, or out into illimitable space, it points to something. But it is often difficult to tell just what that something is. Nevertheless, by observing the nose one is often able to accurately describe the other features of a particularly physiognomy without seeing it. For instance, when in the car, notice that tall angular person who sits stiffly erect. Ob- serse that she possesses a long, thin nose, which lookas if itwere made for the express purpose of wedging itself into the business of other people, and with it one is sure to find the long, pointed chin and the rather narrow brow. Very likely sitting next to this lady is a round faced boy about ten years old. His eyes are bright and his cheeks dimpled, but it is his nose that es- pecially attracts attention. It turns dis- tinctly' heavenward, and perhaps after a lit- tle thought it may be classed as an inquisi- tive nose. It is seen most often on the faces of little children and frequently on women. It serves as a perpetual interrogation point and indicates its possessor as being of an in- quiring turn of mind. After such an upward tendency, by that natural swing of the pendulum, one's eyes 54 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. drop downward to the mouth as the next feature most deserving of notice. The lips are full, rosy, and flexible, and curve up- ward at the corners. It is a mischief loving mouth and its owner would risk much for a bit of a laugh. That is also clearly shown in his bright hazel eyes. This, of course, is but the boy, what changes may come, time alone can tell. Sitting near the door of this car, in the end seat is a man of generous proportions. Since he is busily occupied in reading a newspaper only the lower portioniof his face can be easily observed. His chin is broad and round, accompanied by breadth and full- ness of the red part ,of the lips and e-special- ly the lower lip, which denotes a high degree of self sufficiency mingled with a desire for ease and luxury. It is not long until his nose is classed among th.ose of On the De- fensivew type. It is just the kind of a nose that is looking for a quarrel. One knows immediately that this man loves an argu- ment, will always take. the opposite side in a discussion, and that he is easily provoked, and does not like to be elbowed, crowded, leaned upon, or interfered with in any way. f'Noli me tangerej, or 'ftouch me not,'J may be plainly read on his nose. One feelssure that in an argument he is pretty sure to have the last word and that on his own ground he will fight to the death. The na- tional manifestations of this type of uoses find expression in standing armies, forts, arsenals, and in the general adoption of the adage, 'fln peace prepare for war. A dainty little woman is the next to be observed. Her bright blue eyes assure you that they see everything that is worth seeing, and that a busy brain makes good use of all these observations. Her forehead is broad and full, but if you look for the mark of in- tellectuality in her nose you are disappointed, for it is distinctly a feminine nose, and a delicate and refined one. Her chin is a strong point or rather a strong curve. It shows pa- tience to a marked degree, but determina- tion and strong will power predominate. However pleasing the other features may be, it is the mobile lips that command the at- Isses-if aww' tention. Even when at rest they are highly expressive, the full lower lip shows loyal spirit. and a love of country, and taking the other features into consideration, one may say without fear of being mistaken that the big heart in that small body is warm with love for all mankind. From lips so pure, eloquent and refined, only gentle, loving and instructive words can come. From the gen- eral appearance, the broad brow, the quick eyes, the firm chin, which would be termed 'unasterfuli' in a larger person, and the ex- pressive mouth, you say immediately, 'fSuch women rule the world? Not, it is true, in wielding the sceptre of in commanding an army, but in spreading broadcast, in actions and in words, the divine teachings of Christi- anity. You can imagine such a woman cheering men to great and noble deeds by her thrilling words and again you can see the beautiful face bending in tenderest love over a baby's cradle and the soft lips crooning the sweetest of songs. Attracted, or rather repelled by the very contrast, the observer next takes notice of a dejected looking man sitting apparently without ease and certainly without dignity between the little woman and a tall, grace- ful girl. His forehead is neither very broad nor very narrow, but his nose, mouth and chin show a decided weakness of character. He may be a man of good intent-ions and kind impulses, yet he is undeniably weak, he in- dulges himself in what he considers pleasure, ev-en against his better judgment, and then when it is over, he endeavors to shift the blame and responsibility of it upon anoth- er's shoulders. Compare his prematurely aged face' with that of the rosy checked boy opposite him. Perhaps his face possessed' the same gentle curves, the same expression of simplicity and purity, but between that time and now stretches the long, sad rec-ord of a misspent life, and one may trace the downward pro- gress of the man, step by step, in gradual deterioration, by the most expressive of the features, the lips. From this weak and pitiful specimen of manhood the glance falls upon the fair face V THE WESTPDRT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 55 of a young girl. lmmediately you feel re- freshed as if the breath from her pure lips were the essence which rises from the green meadows in the early spring morning. Her face is oval in shape, the forehead broad, and the blue veins show clearly in the white temples. Her complexion is more creamy than white, with a faint pink showing in the cheeks. -Her arched eyebrows give a charming expression of innocentisurprise to her countenance. Her chin is round but it bears the signs of determination and strong will, and these signs are emphasized by the nos-e of the energetic and the aggressive, it, from its being her Roman nose 3 and as Plato designates indicative of power, 'fthe royal nosefi While the Roman nose ordinarily leads its owner to seek personal aggrandizement, by consider- ing the other features of this face, one readily decides that it stands only for its rights, that it shows a love of mental and moral progress and an unfaltering energy. Her lips are delicate and expressive, and indicate a warmth of affection. They are gentle and tender, such lips as the artist gives to the Virgin mother, Mary. But it is the magnificent gray eye that commands attention. It is soft and change- able, at one time dark, passionate, and ex- pressive of the deepest emotions, at another time calm, peaceful and kindly and thien again, full of sunlight and laughter-a wonderful eye that wins and holds him who looks. It would be difficult to classify the differ- ent features of the various faces that one meets with from day to day. What a varie- ty of noses, mouths, eyes and chinsl Some denote wisdom and strength of character, some tell of a lovely disposition and a kind heart, and others show a pitiful weakness, mental and moral. And yet in everyone of the many, many faces that confront us daily, there is some good. It may he so over- shadowed by evil that it is often difficult to find, but it is there. And since the nature is so plainly shown by the face there must be some good in everyone. For instance, the big man with the rough ways, a harsh voice, and the coarse, almost repulsive face will guide a little child's uncertain steps with a clumsy tenderness that is touching. Since, however, the beauty of our physiog- nomies depends largely upon the style of our character, if we wish to improve the former we must elevate the latter. VERA COURTNEY. 2? 2?
