The path of knowledge seemed hard and thorny to the Class of '07, when, with diplomas clasped in sticky little fists, they first entered the portals of Westport High School, four years ago. 'Twas then that they held in awe the mighty Senior as he strode past in all the dignity of his vast knowledgeg the Sophomore frightened them, too, with his oversmartness, which bespoke a slight smat- tering of learning: and the Junior treated them In an elder-brotherly fashion. But four years have rolled by, bringing to them fin their own mind, at leastl a most radical changeg they have passed through all the stages of school development and have reached the last period. Each is now a full-fledged Senior, thoroughly assured of himself, thoroughly bored by any more knowledge than his head is already crammed with, and delighting in the impression he creates as he struts through the halls. The Senior Class of '07 has reached this stage of self-importance, yet consider its merit. In the first place, was not our Class as Freshmen most worldly-wise in all attempts to betray its youth? Then, too. how many have survived the four years of brain-storm? And, although the number of boys has dwindled to the tabooecl 23, what they lackuin quantity they amply make up in quality. Not long ago it was rendered possible by X-rays to examine the contents of the head of one of our illustrious Seniors. The doctor explained the cause of the shadows produced by the brain structure as follows: The wavering shadow to the right of your hand is the cell in which fear and terror have their abode. Since the last term examination it has in- creased considerably and its umbra is so shaped as to lead one to imagine its growth due to stage fright. That large pale shadow is one of vacuous pleasure cell, showing uninterrupted devotion to study. 0nly once, said the illustrious doctor, have I had the pleasure of Ending such another brain, and that belonged to one of the most brilliant of madern statesmenf' i Verily, the half will never be told of this won- derful Class! ln fact, the old School caught her- self meditating on whether the consummation of her hopes had not been reached when she produced this wonderful Class of '07, and whether it would not be decadence to fall back to any lower level of intellect. So one night our dear Alma Maier cast herself into the greedy flames, having brought forth this best and largest of her classes, the Class of '07, Laura E. Snodgrass. . , ,A , . I I-guzzzcsafg-.5-.

Ah, welll good friend, ah, well! ah, welll We cannot in this world of ours, Where sorrows swell our hearts with grief, Know always what is 'best for us: All earthly sorrows are but brief, But since you leave us, in our hearts, Although a selfish tear we quell, We cannot help but say to you, Farewell, dear friendg we wish you well. Ah, welll ah, welll kind friend, ah, welll When at our work, and in these halls, Our minds will oft and oft recall A friend we miss and always shallg Then memory will our souls enthrall. So, as through life you take your way, Our hearts and wishes go with youg Think of us tenderly, we pray. Farewell, true friend, adieu, adieu. Alma Cutter. AVGIR BESOIN DE. I QTO needj To pretty baby in her crib, Vlfith curly hair and azure eyes And little dimpled grasping hands And look of sweet surprise, l'-ler daily portion, let me say, My loving friend, to you, Is what she always does regret Avoir besoin de. To little Johnny in his play, Where anger often has its part When Tommy gets the largest cake, And little hsts will dart, A pair of wings and safe retreat When father doth pursue Are most embarrassing details Avoir besoin de. To him who wastes his time at school And does not learn the rule of three, Whose great delight is in his kite And with the humble bee, A little brains and common-sense, A little firmness too, Are very disagreeable Avoir besoin cle. To timid little love-lorn maids, Who sigh at each ensuing task, And wonder if the time will come When in love's sun they '11 bask, A little beau with light moustache And shining eyes of blue ls the most distressing thing, perhaps, Avoir besoin de.

It is with great regret that we announce that this, the eleventh of July, finds the Senior Class of last month in a most distressing mental state. The strain of writing sixty-three different and orig- inal Senior essays was quite too much for their over- worked brains. And those unexpected and strenuous finals- surely they were the last straw! And the Seniors of '07? they just succumbed, that 's all-and in- stead of going out into the world in prime mental condition, they have been incarcerated, one and all, in an old musty building at Eleventh and Locust Streets. They while away the time bewailing Freshman days in old Westport and begging for a ray of sunshine and a breath of fresh air. Many of them, at the height of their brain- storm, have been guilty of various petty and more serious crimes. Cn account of their abnormal con- -dition, court proceedings have been waived and they have been confined for safe-keeping. A full and complete list of the unfortunate members of this luckless class follows: Miss Jeanette Stickle, alias Mlle. Eugenie St. Iklerie, who made .such a success in Life in the New School, was incarcerated for allowing her dramatic genius to carry her mind away. It in- cidentally carried away the box-ofhce receipts and the scenery. S Margaret Siegel is one of the belles of the Sanitarium. Toward the end of school she devel- oped a tendency to slide in the halls. Now she dances in the halls every evening from eight till midnight, amid crowds of admiring rats, mice, and kittens. S! Laura Snodgrass became over-ambitios about declamation and public speaking. After the Com- mencement program, it was all they could do to restrain her from reciting Curfew Shall Not Ring To-night as an encore. She spends most of her time reciting Casey at the Bat and The Wreck :of the Hesperusf' Anna Brainerd found a watch and lost her mind. She could not find the owner, and after she gave up the attempt she feared that the owner would find her. She insists that her name is Anna Erd, as her brain is gone. She has taken up knit- ting in her spare moments. Q Charles Gossard was given nervous prostration by the admiring plaudits of the girls. I-le used to hear such expressions as I-le 's a love, lVIy! but isn't he sweet? Now he paces up and down his padded cell repeating, She says I'm a love, a distant, far-away look in his deep blue eyes. 3 Walter Warren was imprisoned to save his life. l-le impersonated a woman and attended a meeting of the Old Cats' Associationf' They discovered his presence and a regiment of infantry had to escort him to safety. The terrible fright caused his mind to wander. 3 Martin Brooks is perhaps the most dangerous patient. l-le is believed to have committed many crimes, from stealing watermelons to assassinating the next president. He insisted on a trial by a jury of women, with an orchestra attached, and was put in a padded cell. S Down in one of the darkest dungeons, waving his arms in wild frenzy, lies John Marley. I-le ex- pected to receive a subsidy for his family, but was disappointed. His mind gave way and he devel- oped a tendency for indiscriminate flirting. 3 Wilbur I-leslip is kept in a reinforced concrete cell. l-le was confined for throwing a banner through the window of the fourteenth story of the Long Building, while engaged in a track meet at Elm Ridge. Enraged because it did not clear the river, his mind gave wayQ Marshall Campbell, in a padded cell, objects to anyone else being president of anything. l-le was arrested for a violent attack on the insurgent president of l-londuras. l-le is campaigning now for the presidency of the Hirmalgamated Lunatics' Association. 22 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. Vilhile engaged in an argument with Miss De Wfitt, Alfred '1oll's mind gave way, and he in- sisted that after death the soul took a Rockhill car. tranferred at Eighth Street and Grand Avenue and took a car to Fairmount Park. He raves about not being allowed to follow the same path, and in- sists that he is but a soul, with no chunky body attached. L33 Catherine Ware applied herself too closely to writing a great play. After the loss of her mind, she finished the play and made the heroine marry the villain and the hero become a hopeless drunkard. She is at present covering all the blackboards with a romantic drama about a Mormon farmer with forty-eight wives. Q Hazel Lorie became insane because no one would listen to her frantic descriptions of Europe. After six hours of careful description of the Tower of London, she discovered that forfive hours and hfty-nine minutes there had been nobody in the same room. She has just finished the fifty thou- sandth page of a description of a Paris paving' stone. S! The cell of Ernest Cox is well provided with graphophones, pianolas, guitars, violins, cornets, mandolins, bagpipes, hand-organs, accordions, etc.. which the Sanitarium warden starts playing everv morning at daybreak, while Ernest sings to their accompaniment the livelong day. -9. Clara Bastman became a lunatic over the prospect of winning the HERALD cover prize, and now sits in her cell drawing numerous designs and sees ten-dollar gold-pieces floating around in the atmosphere--all coming her way. te Paul Luther, although a little fellow, became a fanatic on pedestrianism, and his cell has been equipped with a tread-mill for his incessant walking. 4 .Nanna Clagett became pitifully insane over dramatic art, and sits in an ,easy-chair muttering dramatically Shakespearean verse. Her violent gesticulation has made her extremely weak. 4 Rae McMillan has a common trouble, auto- mania. He tried to run the Hbubblen through a Monday assembly and to kill the teachers but spare the pupils. He has been confined in the shoot the chutesn hre-escape, where he has hill-climbing contests between toy automobiles. A Helen Hetherington has a mania for wearing clothes-lots of them. Her deprivation early this year has caused a reaction during the early sum- mer. Nearly every day she may be seen passing the windows with seven dresses on, four or hve pairs of shoes, two hats on her head and several more hung in festoons from her shoulders. 4, Wheii Samuel Campbell heard the names of the three Campbellsn at Commencement, his over- worked nature gave way. He believed he was the animal his name signifies and began to eat the flowers on the ladies, hats, and even tried to go seven days without a drink. At present he wanders up and down the halls swinging his head from side to side, believing himself in a desolate desert. Qs Bessie Richards, after having adored one of the teachers for two years and being disappointed in the return of her love, at last took up German and has become melancholy over her failure to master the language. She now paces her cell re- peating eloquently, Ich liebe meine liebe l..ehrerin.,, Q Q- Norah Penn lost her reason after having tried in vain to defend herself against her ardent admirers in the bookkeeping class. She requires a constant attendant to tell her that she is alone and won't be bothered by uthose horrid boysf' Q. After eating a great deal of chili, Lawrence Spencer got cold feet and did not win the track meet. This drove poor Lawrence out of his senses. and now he insists that his room be kept at 100 degrees Centigrade. He will eat nothing but chili and red pepper, and keeps calling outfor fire waterfs 3 , Ruth Nlellen is an unusual case. She believes that she isnftg that she does not exist. If anyone contradicts her and says that they see her, she hides behind a match and insists that there is no such person as Ruth Mellen in the world, and that any- one who says there is deserves to be in a sanitarium. A Ayers Blochefs delusion is 'cross-country run- ning and jumping. After school he was discovered hurdling counters in a china store with rather dis- astrous results. He was arrested and sent to the Sanitarium for safe-keeping. All day long he jumps from seat to seat in the Study Hall and runs round and round the halls, struggling to pass imagi- nary opponents.

She walks around moodily, a pointer in her hand for a crook, looking for a mantlepiece where she can rest from her search. 'S'- Julian Amelung, soon after Commencement, seemed to forget the last four years. He believes he is a Freshie, and goes wandering around asking, Please, Mr. Senior, will you tell me where the drawing-room is?', Also calling for milk in the lunch-room. He has even rolled his trousers up to the knees. 3 John Koogler believes he is a Mexican cactus, and that if anyone comes within ten feet of him. they will be pierced to the heart. He is so tender- hearted that he tries to keep everyone, even the girls, away from him. He has to be kept in a separate room with a box of sand to put his feet in. 5 'b- Colin Alexanderis mania leads him to believe he is a safety deposit vault. The duties of treas- urer for the Round Table and the Seniors unbal- anced his mind. He has to touch all the buttons on his coat before he will open his mouth, and is in constant fear that one of the girls will steal him. 3 Nellie Moore is suffering from exaggerated ego. She struts up and down the Assembly Hall stage, bowing and smiling, throwing kisses to imag- inary crowds, which she believes are cheering her madly. 3 . Laura Campbell is suffering from mathematical fever. Up in Room 25 she has spent her time making geometrical hgures, never erasing any until the whole board is covered. Still she goes on, frantically describing arcs, drawing tangents, cover- ing whole squares with arithmetieal calculations. all of them invisible. She is so mathematical she refuses to eat anything but pie Kapil. Q! Harry Klapmeyer has lost his mind, his heart. and his money. He was discovered begging for enough money to win his sweetheart's hand and to build her a home in Harlem. Now he sits in the halls. his eyes blindfolded, crutches fborrowed from Amelungl by his side, turning a hand-organ and holding out a tin cup for pennies, tears of gratitude streaming down his face at the sound of a coin. Clarence Newell, who was depending upon the crops this season, became despondent over the fail- ure, and goes about now carrying an oil lamp, try- ing to keep the cabbages from freezing. 52 Wanda Simonds fancies that she is an inter- rogation mark. She is not violent unless she sees Miss De 'Witt, when she launches into such a frenzy of i'Whys,, and Hows that Electrolysis himself, though a most intrepid beast, pales to his very whisker-ends. at Carl Nethaway fell off the tally-ho at the Jun- ior ricle and injured his brain. He was able to graduate, but soon afterward was taken with the idea that he was a steam plow and commenced to rush through the crowds, scattering them right and left. Now he spends his time digging furrows in the floor with a hat-pin. Q. Une of the most pathetic sights in this institu- tion is Sarah Bosch, who sits all day on a bench in the sunshine, playing with wooden blocks and repeating, mfhis year, next year, 999 years. Vis- itors are told that she spends her time thus, imagin- ing she is constructing a Union Station for Kansas City. 3 Arthur Coleman has gone back to his second childhood. He has a large flock of Teddy bears, several life-sized dolls, and a doll-baby carriage. He becomes tearful if he does not get his warm milk at the proper hours, and insists on taking two naps a day. A 3 Alice Gushurst went crazy with joy because saw a joke on the second reading. Now she be- comes violent if she is not supplied with copies of the comic papers, which she learns by heart, care- fully marking the places to laugh and chuckle. Her sense of humor is slowly developing, at the expense of her sanity. 4. Ford Douthittis mind was unbalanced by his carrying around the weight of a Senior pin. The strain got on his nerves, and now he imagines that he designed the old heavy one and must design a lighter one. He goes about drawing minute, flow- ery designs with the inscription, H '07 Sanitariumf' 3 Lou Glson, after completing her lengthy treatise on temoerance, became so enthusiastic over wom- anis suffrage that she is now afflicted with a severe brain-storm. ,4f3 .1-1.

She contracted the habit in High School, but dur- ing the few weeks before Commencement she made a sudden resolution to break herself of the habit, with the result that her brain gave way under the severe strain. NVith a string of beads in her hands, she paces her narrow cell, whispering as she slips each one. Q Ruby Hombs is kept in a straight-jacket most of the time. When she is not, she thinks she is playing Statue.', It is believed that, while try- ing to strike a very beautiful yet difficult attitude, she strained one of the cords in her neck, which unbalanced her mental elquilibrium. Ethel Mott and Ethel Addoms, while walking past the cemetery on their way home from school. late one night, thought they saw a ghost. The awful experience drove them insane, and they now pace wildly to and fro, holding a geometry before them as a shield and shrieking, Sacred to the memory off' and Here lies. ' S Poor Ethel Rose tried to forget her sojourn in Topeka and partially succeeded until, during the Commencement program, someone mentioned Pro- hibitionf' The awful word brought such dire remembrances to her mind that she was led from the stage a raving maniac. 3 Ina Kirkpatrick gave so much time to Latin that her mind became a blank on every other subject. She thinks she is a gladiator of Cmsaris time, and spends her spare moments trying to prick Mr. Snedeger with a javelin. 3 Hazel Partington was driven mad by the theft of her curls. Some envious person grabbed the Hf0re-mentioned treasures just before Commence- ment. When Hazel discovered her loss, she re- fused to go on the stage until some wood-shavings were given to her. When her diploma was handed to her, she took off a shaving and bestowed it on the donor of the diploma, saying, Let 's swap, sirf' S Fannie Spence imagines that she is literary edi- tor of Harperis, Scribnefs, Century, Colliefs, Ev- eryibndjs, and The Saturday Evening Post. She insists upon having her clothes trimmed with pen- points- and has to be forcibly restrained from drink- mg ink. This is the saddest case of a brilliant mind gone wrong in the whole Sanitarium. Abbie Johnson went insane while attempting to invent fifty-seven varieties of coiffures. She only accomplished forty-nine, and the disappointment overwhelmed her. S Helen Weber is afflicted by a religious mania. She prances up and down her cell, trying to dig her heels as far as possible into the concrete floor, and mutters texts solemnly. 'Q . Elsie Lambornis indulgence in the artful pow- der-rag has led to a pitiful hallucination. She thinks her nose is always shiny. To remedy this imaginary defect, the poor crazed child carries constantly with her a bag of flour and a bucket of whitewash. 3 The intense excitement of being on the stage at Commencement drove Genevieve Parker insane. She now believes she is a Spanish dancer and whirls incessantly upon the Assembly Hall stage, to the intense mortification of the religiously inclined inmates. Q Hazel Himes is one of the noisiest of the in- mates. Someone proved that she said three words in succession and the terrible truth drove her insane. Now she talks incessantly in a loud tone of voice, and almost drives the other lunatics crazy. 9. Gray Hodges became mentally deranged from overstudy. Miss De Nvitt, judging from his bril- liant recitations in English, feared a total break- down, and recommended a thorough rest for his overtaxed brain. -Q Albert Mott believes he is a tennis ball, and, as his chief delight is rolling down stairs, he has to be kept in a padded room. He has marked off a court on the floor with chalk, and jumps from one side of an imaginary net to the other, raising an awful racket. His favorite exclamation is, Love fifteen. ' 3 Loie Carnahan's mind has been permanently injured by finding that she can no longer have Miss Patrick's company to guide her footsteps, and her helpful hints as to how to really appreciate Vlfednesday afternoon matinees. The poor child is now confined in a room the walls of which are pa- pered with Miss Patrick's pictures and the mold- ings lined with directions which Miss Patrick gave her before she graduated.

Now she paces around her cell, growling and snapping at all comers. In spite of her mental state, she is inclined toward Stout-ness. 3 Audrey Tucker became so terrified at the pros- pect of a possible return to l-ligginsville that she also fell into queer ways. She dyed her hair green and wears a blue and lilac dress to harmonize. She raves because she cannot change the color of her eyes to pink. Q Alma Stringer was one of the latest and most desperate victims who succumbed to the infiuence of high school life. While taking a vocal course under Mrs. Hedges, she lost her mind in attempt- to place her tones in the correct location. 3 Wedding-bells and disappointment in love was the combination that drove Margaret Anderson in- sane. The marriage of two other Seniors weighs so on her mind that every time she hears the dinner- bell she imagines that it is playing the Lohengrin', Xvedding March. She has had her cell fitted up with secret passages, in which she can hide when the jailer brings her dinner. Q Mabel Garrett imagines she is nine feet tallz and, in continual fear of bumping her head, she has insisted upon having the ceiling of her cell raised ten feet. Even now, when it is about fifteen feet out of reach, she has had it padded doubly thick. Q Trying to keep up with the latest fashions of Argentine drove the unfortunate Louise Bannister crazy. Now she is in the remotest cell in the Sani- tarium, making clothes for a pug dog, which she has taken with her as a companion. She insists upon running the sewing machine at midnight by X-ray light. Q When she heard of the loss of her Senior essaY 'in the fire, Jessie Eyman received a severe chill. which mentally unbalanced her. Now she sits in an asbestos-lined cell, Wrapped in blankets and furs, with the thermometer at IOO degrees Fahrenheit. The Latin sentence read as follows: Lupa ad vagitum occurrit, lingua infantis lambit, mat- remque se gessitf' This is the way it was rendered bv a slightly excited Freshman: HA wolf ran up and licked the children like a mother. IMPRESSIONS. The sound of bells, wild and alarming, clang- ing fiercely out upon the windy night! The cry of voices as firemen hurried to and fro, adjusting ladders and lifting the long, snake-like hose! Men, women, and children huddled together on every corner and doorstepg their expressions telling of the half-conscious state of mind! Women with straight and stringy locks -of hair straggling carelessly from beneath shawls and caps: men with coat-collars turned up about their throats, and children gazing with sleepy yet excited eyes at the sight across the way. The school-house, wrapped in a coat of scarlet flames, first lapping hungrily about the Laboratory windows, then growing Wilder and wilder, climb- ing higher and higher, up, up, up, consuming every- thing within its path and reaching out its furious tongues until it touched the roof, then leaping with demonlike fury far up into the heavens till it met the dark night sky-and sending continually up- ward myriads and myriads of tiny sparks, appear- ing to be stars let loose. Soaring and sailing, up- ward and outward, vanishing at last to give way to a myriad more. At the highest windows, perched upon the top- most rungs of toppling ladders, firemen fought vain- ly to extinguish the Hames. The bottles of chemicals in the Laboratory went to their doom with a sound like the crashing of thunder. The numberless fish in their gold and silver gowns swam wildly about the aquarium. As the light of the clambering Hames grew brighter and brighter, the beautiful creatures sank away from the intense heat, down to the cooler waters be- neath the rocks-but even there the water became warmer and warmer until at last it boiled and bubbled-the Hoor beneath the glass house gave Way and the whole thing crashed downward-all but the little gold and silver creatures, who were lifted up and wafted heavenward by a great, kind, gust of wind-that carried them up among the sparks-indistinguishably like them-until they too mingled with the stars in the infinite. The graduates of past years leaned from their places to speak to friends and called each other's names in piteous tones as the fury of flames came closer and closer--then softly they bade each other good-bve and cried again to those up and down the hall and stairway. Oh, the horrible sensation! those Hames leaping and crawling about them, and the horror of seeing the friends near them go crash- ,..,.- ,.1,:nn A., x:-- ----v .. . 26 Clif-IE VVESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. ing down from their long accustomed places into the angry pit of flames. High up in the Music room the flames gnawed, slowly at first, then furiously, until at last the piano, the beautiful instrument of a million moods-- felt the devouring flames climbing upward until, as the floor gave way, the entire body of the instru- ment broke into Hames and sunk deep into the debris with one long, pitiful, yet strangely beauti- ful cry of pain, the swan song of its existence, it went to join Hthe choir invisible. At last, when the fury of flames had done its worst. the great front door was torn back and deep within the heart of the building, standing as true and god-like as ever, wreathed round about with a frame of distant flames, stood the exquisite figure of Apollo, seeming to portray in his proud and steadfast poise that, though all else were lost, the undying spirit of the School remained.

After the contest, the judges, Mr. Porter Graves, of Central High School, Miss Dothart, of the Kansas City, Kas., High School, and Superin- tendent Gwynne, of Mound City, retired to their almost impossible task of deciding upon the winners. When it comes to choosing the best of four declama- tions, entirely different in subject matter and style, and all so well given, to say that this choice is dif- ficult is to state the fact mildly. The contestants were so nearly matched that the audience would have felt just as satisfied had the decision been given to any one of the speakers. While the judges were discussing the declama- tions, the Rev. Paul Jenkins, pastor of the Lin- wood Presbyterian Church, gave a talk about school athletics. He told stories of his life at Prince- ton and kept the audience laughing throughout. He presented a cup, given by the Schmelzer Arms Company, to Charles Gossard, for winning the 'cross-country run last Thanksgiving. He also gave medals to the Wrard School boys who won events at the Elm Ridge meet, and another cup to the Norman School for winning the relay. It was decided that the cup tied for by Grover Earl and James Hogg should remain in the School, with their names and the events they won engraved up- on it. A set of Hudson's Shakespeare was then awarded to Miss Lydia Cook for the best cover design for the mid-year l lE.RALfD and ten dollars in gold to Miss Lucille Coffin for the best design for the Commencement number. The Rev. Louis S. Cupp then presented the ten-dollar prize, given by the W. C. T. U. for the best temperance es- say, to Philip S. Barnes. Miss Alma Cutter, Miss Irene Curtis, Miss Marguerite Smith, Mr. Carl Davis, and lVlr. Vvalter Moore were given honor- able mention and awarded Swastika pins. After this the declamation judges awarded the ten-dollar prizes to Miss Sallie M. McCluer and to Mr. Paxson Winsborough. C A TREASURE-HUNT. One day, while I was rummaging in the attic, I found an old parchment, on which were written directions for locating some hidden treasure. The contents were somewhat as follows: About ten miles west of Independence, Jack- son County, Missouri, and on the old Sante Fe Trail, is a small cave, out of which flows a stream of water. ln the cave, and fifty yards from its mouth. is a small opening leading off to the left. r , . .-. . , , , .1-:f:-r-z---1--?:f:fa,.:. :a:: -' --m nf-f-:e:e.f- ' v w- 'E lle ,QT :, '.'

Find point which is ten feet from center of large rock, and in line with opposite corner. At a point eighteen inches to the left of the point thus found, dig two feet. The treasure is yours. As any other boy would have been under sim- ilar circumstances, I was wild with excitement. As quickly as I could I went to where father was work- ing, and bombarded him with questions. All I know about the parchment is this, he said: HOne day, when you were a baby, two men stopped here to rest. They had been traveling all morning in the hot sun, and one of them-Lander, I believe, was his name-had become overheated. Before night he became ill. The other fellow left that same evening. Before going, however, he called me aside, and told me that Lander was a visionary man, and therefore I must take no stock in his tales of treasure. During the night, Lander called me to his bedside, and said he was dying. He gave me a small box, which he said contained a valuable parchment. He made me swear-I couldn't refuse the wish of a dying man-not to open the box until fifteen years had elapsed. If within that time no one who answered a certain minute description, which I have forgotten, called for it, it should be mine. I had forgotten the existence of the parchment. Let 's see-the time was up last year. But, mark me, I have no faith in his treasure tale. I've had too much experience in such things . At first' father would not let me go, but finally he gave his consent, saying that I was old enough to learn the futility of expecting to get rich quick. At the time of which I am speaking, I was eighteen years of age, and lived with my father near Independence, Mo. I judged that, as it was only eight or nine miles to the cave, I should be able to make the entire journey in a day. I decided to go on foot, fearing that I should attract attention by leaving my horse hitched outside the cave. Then, too, there was danger of his being stolen. One morning at daybreak I set out alone, with a lunch, a few tallow candles, plenty of matches, a hatchet, and a pocket-knife. I wished to take a pick and shovel, but I feared that would attract too much attention. Before nine I reached a cave which answered the description given. There was the stream of clear, cool water! How my heart leaped with joy at the thought that I, a poor farmer boy, should leave the cave a rich man! I should not only be able to go to college, but should also be able to build my parents a new home, and still have enough left to keep me in comfort the rest of my days. I-low nice that would bel But time was too precious to waste, standing at the mouth of the cave, when the treasure was waiting for me. I lighted a candle and proceeded. tWhat did it matter if I had to wade through water, and bend- nearly double, so low was the roof? Not much, at a time like this. About fifty yards from the mouth of the cave, I found an opening to the left, but too small to admit my body. But I wasn't to be hindered by such trifles. I set to work to enlarge the opening. After about an hour's hard work, I was able to crawl through, when, to my inexpressible joy, I found myself in a cool, winding cave. The roof was not much higher than my head, and I noticed the absence of stalactites and stalagmitesg in other respects the cave resembled the large caverns of the world, even to the numerous side-branches, some of which were very low and narrow, while others were almost as large as the main passage. I followed the largest passage until I reached the tenth branch on my right. I followed this, trembling with fear. It terminated in a large room, in one corner of which was a-n almost cubical stone. I placed my candle on the ground, and set to work. First I found the center of the stone as nearly as I could. But here my trouble began. What a fool I had been for coming off without a measure of some kind. If I should guess at the distance, I should probably have to dig three or four times. This would not do, for my candle supply was limited. I sat down on the rock to think. Yes, what a fool I was. Who ever heard of locating hidden treasure without the most accurate calcula- tion and measurement? As I sat there, calling my- self hard names, my glance rested for a moment on my hatchet, which I had dropped to the Hoor as I entered. Quick as a flash, I was on my feet. I had often used that hatchet handle as a rule. It was exactly twelve inches long! Feeling less discouraged, I carefully found a point ten feet from the center of the stone, and in line with the opposite corner. I next found a point eighteen inches from that point, the line joining the two points being perpendicular to the original line. Here I began to dig. As I had no tools except a hatchet and a knife, the digging proved a laborious task. But, in spite of my hard luck, I soon found that I was approach- ing the required depth. My heart began to beat faster. My hatchet struck something. It was :aa-rm :.v 3 .uzwz-sr .,, ..,. ,, I-.7-.. , 30 T1-113 WESTPORT HIGH SCI-IOOL HERALD. metal. I was so nervous I could hardly work. Soon I had the top of a chest exposed to view. It was thework of a few moments only to lift out the chest, and break its rusty lock. In the chest I found two canvas bags, one of which contained silver coin,while the other, by far the most valuable, contained gold and precious stones, including half a dozen of enormous value. As the chest was too heavy to carry, I replaced it and covered it up. W'ith one bag of money and the burning candle in one hand, and the other bag in the other, I started for the outside world. I thought I had gone in the right direction until I came to a dark, swift stream of water, about ten yards wide. My heart almost gave way with fear. I was lost! True, near the other side was a small opening, through which the faint daylight streamed, but between me and it lay a cold, dark river, which I feared to attempt to swim, lest its current carry me where human aid were of no avail. I wanted to leave by the same opening through which l had entered, but, as my candle was about gone, I had to abandon the idea. There was only one thing to do, and that was to throw my treasure across, and swim for liberty. By a great effort, I tossed the bag of silver across. But in so doing I strained my arm. Any sensible person would have left that bag of gold and precious stones there, and come for it later. But not I. I must take it with me. Because of the angle of the opening, only a small amount of daylight entered the cave. Indeed, as soon as the candle should go out-it was already growing dim-it would be almost pitch dark, and I feared that coming darkness. The quicker I got out, the better. After removing my clothes and pitching them across, I picked up the bag and swung it into the air. I watched it in breathless silence. It missed its mark! It fell into the river and sank from sight. I almost fainted. I had barely strength enough to swim across and dress. I took what Fate had allotted to me, and passed out into the warm spring afternoon. As I looked back into the cave to get a last glimpse of those dark regions, the candle went out with a Hicker, leaving in darkness the cold underground river, in whose depths lay untold riches. Until within the last few years, the narrow opening which led from the cave into those dark caverns was entered bv many an enterprising lad of the neighborhood. But now, I believe, its exact location is not known, the opening itself having been closed by a caving-in of the roof.

L Never in the history of Westport High School have we had a musical organization which causes us so much pride as '6Our Orchestra of this year. Composed of eleven good members, under the splen- did leadership of Mr. E. Chinnery, it has now become a vital part of the School system. The class of music mastered this year is of a high qual- ity, and some excellent numbers have been given on various occasions. On two afternoons the members delighted the olcl ladies of the Nettleton Home with their music, and had an afternoon planned to bring some sun- shine into the lives of the unfortunate inmates of the County F arm, when the Hre destroyed all their music, racks, etc. These have all been replaced now, and the selections given by the Urchestra on the Declama- tion Contest and Commencement programs showed the thorough practice they have had this year.

It is no useg I just haven't got it in meln The speaker, a rather small, slender boy, in running costume, sat dejectedly at the side of the hundred- yard marks at the Athletic Field. He was Hal Merton, and, though one might easily have taken him for a Freshman, a Junior in one of the high schools of a good-sized Western city. He had one ambition, and one which would seem almost impossible the moment one looked at him. It was to gain recognition in athletics. Foot-ball was clearly impossible because of his lack of weight and strength. When the winter came on, he had tried basket-ball. He practiced faithfully for weeks, only to fail even in getting on a class team. With base-ball it was the same way. As Tom Marks, the captain, had said to him, You could play all right if you could only throw or Held better, and bat some. At last he had turned as a last frail hope to the track team, and now this bubble had burst. He had tried the hurdles, then the jumps, the distance runs, the pole vault, and the sprints. Of course there was no chance for him at the weights, and he was at last forced to admit that he was not the athlete he had hoped. Everybody had been very sympathetic and en- couraging. They told him to try again, that he would do better next timeg but the next time had not come. As he picked himself up and walked slow- ly back to the dressingfroom he was thinking hard. As he got into his clothes he argued the question, and when he started for home he had decided that he would stop. It seemed no useg he was not an athlete and could not become one. During the next few weeks Hal's friends no- ticed a great change in him. Before this he had plunged into school life with all his spirit. Al- though he could not play foot-ball, there had been no more ardent supporter of the team. He had thrown his whole soul into his School and had stood by it through victory and defeat. He became very pooular at the School, being the vice-president of his class and the treasurer of one of the school societies. Through all his interest in school life he had not neglected his lessons and had stood high in the class. Now there was a decided dif- ference. He was no longer seen at the base-ball games, he was absent from his society meetings, and he fell down greatly in his studies. He seemed entirely apart from the school, taking interest in nothing. . - This radical change in his temperament caused considerable comment through the school. The teachers could not understand it, and asking him questions threw no light on the mystery. He began to get pale and even thinner than before. He passed all his time in reading, getting no exercise except when his friends dragged him away for a game of tennis. At this, as in all other athletics, he was but a mediocre performer, and it was difficult to per- suade him even to an occasional game. After one of the meetings of the Literary Socie- ty to which he belonged, from which he had been absent, several of his friends started on their way to the school tennis court. The conversation turned on Hal's queer behavior during the last few weeks. Various theories, from his having consumption to his being in love, were advanced. Dan Robson, the president of the club, and Halis chum, was silent all the way to the court, evidently thinking about Hal. After they reached the court and were getting ready to play, he stopped in the act of put- ting on a shoe. Say, fellows,', he burst out, I'll bet I know what 's the matter with Hal. He 's disappointedfs Disappointed! Qver what? ejaculated Tom Lumley, a big, husky foot-ball player and weight man. Because he can't do anything much in ath- letics, answered Dan. You mean he 's sore because he couldn't make the track team and has got sulky, corrected Lumley. lt makes me sick. That 's not it at all, spoke up a freckled. red-haired bov.

You lose, retorted Dan. Hltis about Hal. Let 's let him win the tennis tournament. But how?,' came the question. How are you going to make him enter, and how can you make liim win? It won't be easy, replied Dan, but we 've jgot to do something, I can let him beat me a bit .and get him into entering. Then those 'philoi fchaps will help us if we put it to them right. We can get every tennis-player in the School except l.umley. There it goes again, Lumley! Lumley! If we could only take down his conceit a bit, what a iblessing it would be to humanity! cut in Bob. If one of us could put Lumley out before he got matched with Half' said Sidney Cole, another of the bunch. The only trouble is that he really has some backing to his conceit. At least if we rdon't make Hal win, there 'll be no harm done. The day of the tournament had arrived. For three weeks l-lal's friends had worked with him and with others in the School and had at last in- duced him to enter. As had been predicted, all the good tennis-players except Lumley had agreed to let Hal win the tournament. In the preliminary round the number of contestants was reduced to sixteen. Hal had drawn a bye and Dan saw, to ins relief, that Lumley could not be paired against Hal until the final round and that he would have a chance at Lumley before then. In the next two rounds, Hal surprised himself by defeating his opponents with ease. Sidney suc- ceeded in winning chisccontests and was matched with Hal for the semi-finals. Lumley, as had been feared and expected, won both his contests, and Dan, who under ordinary circumstances would have had a good chance for the cup, had defeated his opponents. ' In the next match Hal again astonished him- self hy winning two out of three sets and qualifying for the finals. The next match called out the greatest interest. By the hardest kind of playing, Dan succeeded in taking the first set, six games to four. Then, to the dismay of his supporters, he seemed to weaken. Lumley took the next set, six to one. Lumley called out to Dan, I see where your chances have gone up the spout. Dan set his teeth and smiled politely. It looked at first as if Lumley's boast would come true. He won the first three games with little trou- ble. Dan took the fourth after a hard light and Lumley won the next. With the score at four to one Dan braced up and Won the next two. Then Lumley won another, making the score live to three. Dan must win the next two. He steadied himself and by careful playing won the first. The second went to the deuce and after a long contest went to Dan. The score now stood five, all. Dan relaxed a bit and lost the next. Then, pulling himself to- gether, bobbing l..umley's terrific drives, carefully placing each stroke, he wore out l..umley's guard, and took the next game. Then Lumley lost his temper at a decision of the umpire. After that it was easy, and Dan took the next two games and the match. S It would be hard to tell which created the more surprise, Dan's sudden reversal of form in the finals next day, giving Hal the championship, or Halis sudden return to his former self. At any rate, the School understood, if Hal didn't, and proved it by electing Dan Senior president next fall, with but one dissenting vote. Paul Siivers, '08. '!!'?'

The Class of '08 is without doubt one of the greatest classes that ever attended Westport I-ligh School. Looking back over the history of this Class, we find our record as Freshmen was untouch- able and as Sophomores, unapproachable. While as Juniors we are great, as Seniors we will be the greatest ever. The present Seniors are so taken up with preparations for their Commencement exercises that they forget there could ever be another class graduating. Nevertheless we are being graduated from the rank of dignified Juniors to that of staid Seniors, just as surely as if we received our Diplo- mas from the platform of a theater stage. For two years we have watched with longing eyes the Tally--hos go by filled with shouting Juniors and happy Seniors. At last our time came, and on Friday evening, June 7, we filled six large wagons, starting from Allen Library I-lall at 6:30. For four hours we traversed the beautiful boule- vards of Kansas City, then, tired and hungry, we returned and served refreshments to our guests, who unanimously pronounced it a most enjoyable evening. It is now time to say good-bye to the Class of '07, and in doing so we wish also to bid God- speed to Mr. C-.reen, who has been our adviser this year, and who also graduates from Westport High School in .Iune to take up the practice of law. foseph Ham ihorne, '08.

T Having attained the height of our last year,s ambitions and become Sophomores, we feel indeed very learned. What more could be wished for? But we find that there are some drawbacks to our position. We are feared by the Freshmen, dis- dained by the Juniors and ignored by the Seniors. As we look back over the year, the chief thing that comes to our minds brings tears to our eyes- the burning of that dear old building in which we had drummed into our heads the knowledge that brought us to our present position. But cheer up! we have seen the site and we hope still to be able to see the sight of our splendid new building. It is a matter of note that this year, for the' first time, the Sophomore Class has been organized and class officers elected. We presume that this is because of the superiority of this year's Sopho- more Class. Alas! the time is fleeting fast-our high schooI' days as Sophomores are numbered. It is with some regret that we relinquish our position to the undeserving Freshmen, but we shalf not refuse to be Juniors when the time comes. Certructe Schaufler, '09. ENGLISH AS SHE IS WROTE. .T.1.T, In an English Class in Wvestport High School the pupils were given certain words to use in sen- tences. The following sentences taken from the paper handed in by one pupil tell their own story: I. The boy, who was small was temporary. 2. The man who was rich came hitherto from Germany. 3. The man who was drunk was a ignouring' O7 to the city. 4. The immemorial which the boy has, was not good. 5. The lard, which was made, was rendered easy. 6.

The history of the Freshman Class will have to begin with that epoch-breaking Enrollment Day, September IO, IQO6, when, over 200 strong, we approached Westport High School in solemn awe. Our awe increased when we entered the build- ing and saw with what assurance the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors made out their programs, while we had to be told how to do everything. But we were milling to learn and anxious to rellect credit upon the Ward Schools which we represented, so rneeklv received and obeyed all suggestions, even the one freouently given us that the fire-buckets were not to be used for drinking purposes. Our first year in High School has been a stren- uous one. Vife Hrst began with a ten-hour day. Later in the year, four Annexes were brought from a Vvard School fto relieve our homesickness, the Sophomores said? and the program was reduced to an eight-hour day. Our already large number was recruited in the middle of the year by some new pupils from the Hyde Park School, and everything moved smooth- ly until, on April l5, the building was burned. Our having to go to Central in the afternoon necessitated another change in program and gave us a six-hour day. If we have not done so well as some of our teachers have expected, may it not in part be due to the troublous year we have just passed.

' The C lass of '08 of the Princington High School was very proud of its valedictorian, Marion Edwards, and she in her turn had done her best with her valedictory essay, entitled Memory Is Man,s Greatest Giftf, to merit the honors bestowed' upon her. It had been read and re-read many times by the writer herself before being placed in the- hands of the Principal for criticism and correction. The suggestions, however, had been few, much to her gratification, and, after she had given it a few additional touches, she had very carefully made a corrected copy, from which she intended to read at the graduation exercises, now but two days distant. The intervening time was so full of preparations for the great event that Marion had had no time' to look over her work again, so, being sure of its correctness, did not open it again until just before time for her to rise from her place and step forwardi to address the audience. -2.4-z,, she fall of lift wh ten Pa? ovf the in M.

Her confusion was evident. She hurriedly ran over the following pages, to find them all blank with the exception of the last, upon which was written in her brother's handwriting the title, Memory Is IVIan's Greatest Gift. I-Ier first impulse was to run, but, realizing her position, she determined to carry off the situation in the best possible way, and, allowing her con- fusion to pass as having arisen from an incorrect numbering of sheets, she took advantage of her brother's suggestion and continued her essay from memory. Lea'a Craven, '08. ANCIENT BUILDINGS OF ROME. Rome was not built in a day, and it cannot be done in a day, or even a week, as I found out last summer, but I shall try to tell as much as pos- sible of it in the space allotted me. As you all know, the Forum Romanum used to be the principal thoroughfare of the ancient Romans, although now it is simply a mass of ruins, very interesting and picturesque. Its original sur- face, twenty-six feet below the present level, has been cleared by excavations. In shape the Forum is a parallelogram, and consisted of a series of buildings round an open space called the Comitium. The buildings must have been very grand in the olden days, for even now the ruins are magnificent and imposing. One of these ruins is that of the Temple of Castor and Pollux, just three magnifi- cent columns with some fragments of the architrave and cornice supported by them. This temple had been erected in commemoration of the battle of Lake Regillus. Other notable ruins are those of the Temnle of Vespasian, the Temple of Saturn, the Basilica of Constantine, the Arch of Titus, and the Atrium Vestae, or the Palace of the Vestal Virgins. I will tell about onlv a few of these. The Temple of Saturn, of which onlv eight Ionic columns re- main, contained the public treasury, which was called the Treasury of Saturn. On the steps of this temple Roman generals took the oath that they had given a correct account of their spoil and prisoners. The Arch of Septimius Severus was erected in 205 A. D. by the Senate and the people of Rome, in honor of the emperor and .his two sons, Caracalla and Geta. A chariot, containing the statues of the emperor andlhisisons, drawn by six horses, stood on the summit. But the six horses, after numerous journeys and adventures, have at last been placed over the door of St. lVIark's in Venice, which I afterwards saw. The Palace of the Vestal Virgins was destroy- ed by fire, and rebuilt by Septimius Severus. It is in very good condition now, and a fair idea of it can be gained. It was paved in black and white marble, and being rectangular in shape, had ex- tending all round the court statues of I-Iigh Ves- tals, sixteen on each side, six at the top and six at the bottom, all being very well preserved, except that all their heads are gone. There was also, a little out of the Forum, a temple of the Penates, for the Romans thought that if there were Penates of the family, there were also some of the city. They were supposed to have been the household gods brought from Troy by ,ZlCneas, and a temple was erected to them accordingly. ' The Arch of Titus was at the summit of the Via Sacra, or the Sacred VV ay, which led from the southern gate of Rome to the Capitol, and was the route by which triumphal processions passed to the temple of jupiter. Between the Arch and the Colosseum, which is beyond the Forum to the south, the ancient pavement of the Sacred Way, composed of huge blocks of lava, still remains. While standing on the hill overlooking the Forum, the Colosseum is plainly to be seen. It was originally called the Flavian Amphi- theater, was begun by Vespasian in 72 A. D., and dedicated by Titus eight years later. It is the largest structure of the kind ever built, being capa- ble of seating nearly l00,000 spectators faccord- ing to an old estimatel. You can obtain a very good estimate of its size if you compare it with our Convention I-Iall, which seats 20,000 Though scarcely a third of the original edifice remains, it is by far the most imposing monument of antiquity that the Imperial City has to show, although I think that the Baths of Caracalla, on the Appian Way, come pretty close to it in grandeur. They were begun by Caracalla in 212 A. D., and completed by Alexander Severus. They cov- ered 2,625,000 squareyards, and could accommo- 7.u'f.:,' eirlllxlflfll . 'flYif75'1 44 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. date l,600 bathers. They had deep cellars under- neath, so that they could be heated by pipes some- what like our modern system. The walls are very high and immensely thick, which give an appear- ance of a fortress from the outside. Close to the Colosseum is the Arch of Con- stantine, the best preserved and the most beautiful of the Roman arches. The sculptures of the up- per' part were taken from an Arch of Trajan, and illustrate the life of that emperor. Close beside the arch, and just a little distance from the Colosseum, is the Oozing Well, where the winner of the games in the Colosseum was wont to come to get a drink after his victory. On the Palatine l-lill are the extensive remains of the Palace of the Caesars, which covered the whole hill, and in the time of Nero portions of the neighboring ones. Excavations have been carried on here at various times, and important discoveries made. The Pantheon is in the most perfect condition of the ancient buildings in Rome. It was built B. C. Z7 by M. Agrippa, and restored by Sept- imius Severus and Caracalla about 202 A. D. ln 608 it was consecrated as a Christian church, but in 1087 was used as a fortress by one of the rival popes. The gilt bronze ceiling of the portico fweighing more than 450,000 poundsj was re- moved to make the canopy of St. Peter's and can- 'non for Sant' Angelo. The ancient bronze doors still remain. The interior is a rotunda, l40 feet in diameter, lighted only by the circular opening in the center of its dome. Hawthorne calls it an eye, ever open to the heavensf, This church has become the burialplace of painters, Raphael and Caracci being among the number. King Victor Emmanuel is also buried here. One very peculiar 'thing about the Pantheon is, that there are always some cats there. When I was there, I counted twenty-five, and I do not believe that there are ever less than five present. They roam around, and get on top of the tombs and altars to lie down. Their eyes shine green in the dim light, and if one were superstitious, I think that would be a bad place for 'him to go, for some Italians think that the cats are spirits of departed people. ' Remains of the Cloaca Maxima, built by Tar- quinius Priscus about 2400 years ago to drain the marshes of the Verabrurn, are still to be found, and its mouth is to be seen on the Tiber, a little above theso-called Temple of Vesta. This graceful little edifice is about fifty feet in diameter, and the Corinthian columns are thirty-two feet high. The ruined Aqueducts that stretch their long lines of arches over the Campagna, towards the Alban and Sabine hills, may be seen from the Via Appia or other places outside the city. The Aqueducts feed many fountains in Rome, of which the principal ones are the Fontana di Trevi and Fontana dell' Aqua Marcia. The Via Sacra, or the Sacred Way, took its name from the sacred processions that passed along it, the sacred rites performed upon it, and the sacred buildings that lined it. Many tombs line it, a Well- known one being the Tomb of the Baker Eurys- aces. It is in the form of a baker,s oven, and covered with symbols of his trade, and bas-reliefs illustrating it. It was probably erected in the last years of the Republic. The Catacombs are also one of the very interest- ing sights along the Appian Way'. They were originally quarries which undermined all seven hills of Rome. The olden people of Rome used to bury all their dead here. The one on the Appian Way is the only one which has been thoroughly explored, and to which sight-seers are allowed- They are dark, and with so many passages and inter-passages that it is very easy for people to get lost in them. At the time of the persecution of the Christians, the persecuted fled to these Catacombs, and lived there for years, having their food brought in at night. Of ancient mausolea and tombs, the most im- posing is that of Hadrian, now the Castle of Sant' Angelo. It was begun by Hadrian, and completed by his successor, Antoninus Pius, l39 A. D. Procopius thus describes it: The tomb of the Emperor l-ladrian is situated outside the Porta Aurelia. It is built of Parian marble, and the blocks fit close to one another without anything to bind them. It has four equal sides, about a. stone's throw in lengthy its altitude rises above the city wallsg on the top are statues of the same kind of marble, admirable figures of men and horses. But the present fortress is a mere skeleton of the magnihcent structure. Lucius Verus, Antoninus Pius, lVlarcus Aurelius, Commodus, were all buried here. It was first turned into a fortress 423 A. D. Tradition asserts that Gregory the Great saw St. Michael standing over the fortress sheathing his sword as a sign that a pestilence was stayedg to commemorate which the Castle is now surmounted bv a figure of the archangel in the act of sheathing his sword. This old castle served for a fortress during several ages, and its first cannon were cast out of pal Pa 3.112 IHC Sr. It H. dc for di dri wi if to CP na un tri ist sc vt in hz f s lic re di se . 1 .':i:,Il...1..,T'-LLLRZT ..1:.1g...:3r::5..::4:. 7'-'waz11:g:fran:viriumziuk:56.4iei2?154Sli5'43LL'a5iLY2L-fam:5us3mkgtqm.Q az:L':1cznLxQ-mmf.au.us, .

It is the finest bridge in Rome, and was built by l-ladrian. It crosses the Tiber, and leads to the door of the Castle of Sant' Angelo. I am hoping to go back to Rome some day, for on the night that I left, I went to the Fontana di Trevi, threw in a ten-centesimi piece, took a drink of water with my left hand, and walked away without looking back. There is a superstition that if you do these things, you will assuredly go back to Rome. Cyrilla H. Humes, '08. 1........, T Ml LATIN LETTER. Mabel Moore to Miss Wilder, S.D.

The burning of the school building necessitated the change of the whole program for the year, and resulted in considerable loss and great inconvenience to both pupils and teachersq The fire was discov- ered early on the morning of April l5th. By the time the firemen arrived, the Physics and Chemistry room and the Biology room were in flames. There was no fire-engine near and the water power was not strong enough to check the fire. The whole third story burned and fell in upon the second floor. Then the fire was checked, but nearly everything that was not burned was water-soaked and spoiled. The books-in the Study Hall bookcases were saved and the school records in the office were rescued. Mr. Scott was one of the heaviest losers. His biology collections and the manuscript of his book on mlqhe Correlation and Development of Organs, which was nearly ready for publication, were de- stroyed. Many of Miss De Witt's and Miss Wilderis books were spoiled by the water. Near- ly every teacher lost something and many of the pupils had books, note-books, or drawing instru-- ments in the building. The fire practically put an end to all society meetings and school social events. The School will lose two members of the Facul- tv this year, Miss Kahn and Mr. Green. Mr. Green will practice law in Kansas Citv. We wish him all success and hope that he will he able ta settle all our troubles. lVliss Kahn will also change her vocation and will take up housekeeping with a little class of one. The lucky pupil is to be Mr- Irvin Barth, a successful young lawyer of St. Louis- They will live in St. Louis. We wish Miss Kahn a long and happy married life. We wish to thank both the teachers and pupils of the Central High School for the courtesy shown- us during the two months we were there. They shortened their hours and consultation period and placed the entire south building at our disposal dur- ing the afternoons. All we can do is to express, our sincerest gratitude and promise to return the- courtesy if a like disaster should visit the Central' building. A different plan was followed this year in re-- gard to the class elections. The Seniors and Juniors held primaries and nominated their candi- dates. A very exciting time followed. Party spirit ran high! The merits of the various candi- dates were discussed and at times in the course of the campaign a bolt was threatened. l-lowever, up- on election day the results were very favorable and even the defeated candidates seemed perfectly satisfied. The Freshmen and Sophomores organ- ized this year, but elected their officers at their first meeting. Last year. . . .Miss Miller. This year, . . . .Miss Kahn- Next year. . . . .

DIED. A Ruth Stimson, February 26, l907. Leonard Fisher, May I6, l907. In getting out this number of the HERALD we have met with considerable difficulty. Although the material for the paper was not burned, it was smoked and water-soaked and had to be recopied. Then we were forced to hold our meetings in one of the Annexes in the mornings. We have done our best to overcome these obstacles, but offer them as an excuse for possible shortcomings. The public has been looking for the announce- ment that the old Iota Kappa Beta Society had made a change in name for the last three seasons- in fact, since its 'scoming out.H It was not un- expected that such a charming set of girls would not retain its maiden name for a great while. But. even when expected, the change came as a shock to some. The new name, Osiron, is a very pretty one, however, and does not carry with it the air of secrecy that the former name did. Three members of the HERALD Staff graduate this yearg Miss Helen H. Hetherington, one of the editors-in-chiefg Miss Fannie Spence, literary editor, and Nlr. Ayers Blocher, athletic editor. The fire has greatly changed the plans for the future of the School. It is impossible for the new School to be completed in time for use next Sep- tember and the old School is to be rebuilt., It will be used for a high school until the new building is ready for occupancy. Two sessions will prob- ably be necessary, even with the use of the Annexes. Vfe must have another year of hoping and waiting before we finally reach that paradise of which we have dreamed for years. Those who have handed in manuscripts which were not published should not become discouraged. Some of those not published were nearly as good as those decided upon. Some came in too late for publication. Just cheer up and try again: HCXI time 'your story or poem may be the best. The copper plate of the old School came safely through the fire. It was wet and warped, but upon being dried out, straightened itself. The only bad result was that it is a little dim and hazy. ' The success of this y:ar's HERALD is due largely to our contributors and advertisers. We wish to make a public acknowledgment of the as- sistance they have rendered. Turn about is fair playf, and to patronize Your advertisers is only dning them justice. . I sit me down upon my thumb, I take my pen in hand, The little thinklets will not come, What shall I write that 's grand? I see a house, I see a tree, I see a sidewalk, too, A dog is barking, merrily, Beneath the sky so blue. , The sky is gray, the grass is green, The rain is pouring down, And huge mud-puddles may be seen On every street in town. I rise up from my lowly seat, I put my pen away. I hope I never may repeat What I have done to-day. g IMPORTANT DATES IN CONNECTION WITH THE HISTORY OF XVEST- PORT HIGH SCHOOL. l89l-Building of old Westport High School. . l393-First Commencement exercisesg number of graduates, 2. l897-Enlargement of School. n 1899-Westport district taken into Kansas City.

TI-IE CORNER-STONE LAYING. Un June 7th, at Z :30 o'clock, the corner-stone of the new Vifestport High School will be laid. VV hen completed, this building will have cost over 5l5400,000 and will be one of the very best high- school buildings in the United States in its arrange- ment, construction and environment. ln addition to the most modern equipment for academic work. there will be provided a complete installment of furniture and apparatus necessary for full courses in Mechanic Arts, Domestic Arts, and Business Training. At the corner-stone laying General Milton Moore, chairman of the Building Committee of the Board of Education, is to be introduced by Prin- cipal S. A. Underwood.

Deposit of the copper box in the cavity of the corner-sto-ne. The copper box which is to be deposited in the cavity of the corner-stone will protect its con- tents for centuries. In this box will be a complete roll of the names of pupils in the School, and of the Senior Classes of South Side Ward Schools. Copies of the past HERALDS, reports of the Board of Education, historical articles and documents con- nected with the School. lf, in future years, any calamity should again befall the School, the con- tents of this box would tell to future generations what sort of people attended school then and what they did. This ceremony is an occasion on which all loy- al students should turn out. It marks an epoch in the history of the School, another step toward perfection. FOR LOVE. OF THE HIl..l..S. ,lack Stone got up and stretched his arms above his head,--which means that he was obliged to .curl his fingers. to keepfrom scraping the ceiling of the two-roomed hut. He was lonely on this night and longed for the grassy fields of old Kentucky. As he stood in the doorway and looked out into the star-lit night, he wished the hills of Montana would fade away and give place to the rolling lawns of the stone mansion with the long, winding drive-way and the old stables far in the rear of the house. ln two weeks Thanksgiving would ar- rive, and with it the home-gathering-all the broth- ers and sisters would come home, and this time Jack meant to stay for good. For the last week he had talked of nothing else and had spoiled more than one game of soi.taire for Chad Morgan with talk of his return home. He and Chad had Hbatchedn together for more than three years and had become like brothers to one another. Jack had coaxed Chad to go back with him, but so far he had not been successful, nor was he likely to suc- ceed, for Chad had told Jack that Montana looked good to him and he guessed he would stay a while. So it happened that one week before Thanks- giving Jack stepped eagerly upon the platform of his train and bade farewell to Montana. In the little hut out among the Montana hills the usual routine of work was carried out. The first letter from Jack to the little hut told how he had arrived safe in God's country once more, of the glorious times he was having, and all the good things he had to eat. Then a period of three months elapsed without word from Jack. But finally there came a letter with a tone different from the first. In this he asked how his pony, which he had given to Chad, was coming on, inquired after all the boys in the camp-and why didn't Chad write oftener and more of itf, He forgot, however, in his letter to mention anything about C1od's country. A few more letters followed, in which he never failed to inquire about the boys at the camp, and how times were in Montana--one time he said dear old Montana. Chad, playing solitaire in the dusk of a Decem- ber evening, felt a cold gust of wind come in with the opening of the door. He glanced up from his cards, and there before him stood Jack Stone. Their hands met and clung in the grip of friend- ship and Jack swallowed several times. Late that night while they were talking Chad looked up and asked Jack, Say, old man. if you loved that con- founded country so blamed well, what made you J . :.,.-.cg..g..::. .p:L:.14..:::.:...::a:.1i..a 1-:n::.:sz1:afe:Q:zi':Lngig1-ma.:--. j' ' jaw - L,p:---- -.,-. , - .. .

Cn January 25, l907, the Atheltic Board, composed of Mr. Shouse, Mr. Bigney, and Mr. Hull, decided that Westport should withdraw from the Base-ball League. The action was taken on account of certain undesirable provisions in the con- stitution. But, in spite of the fact that we were not to play League games and that nearly all of last year,s players were graduated, a surprisingly strong team was developed. Only one regular match was played-that with the Independence High School. The score was 32 to l, in favor of Vfestport. The line-up: Carl fCaptainl . . . . . Ciuy.. .. . Short Stop. ...3dBase.

This is the first year that Westport has boasted a Track Team. We started out well, for our broad- jumping team defeated the West Side High School boys at the Y. M. C. A. games in Convention Hall. February Zl. Another cup, and isn't it a beauty? The following team brought it home: Carl. F. Woodford. Heslip. Alexander. Miller. Lipscomb. ' Gossard. E. Woodford. Cary. Spencer. Abernathy. y Blocher. The relay team was not very successful this year. However, both defeats were by a narrow margin and were due to the poor condition of one of our boys. The trouble started at the M. S. U. and K. U. Track Nleet ill Convention Hall. The winners were the boys from the Lawrence High School. Ar the K. C. A. C. games in Convention Hall, a week later, we lost again, by but a few feet. Now we come to Track Atheltics proper. On April II the first annual Class Meet was pulled off at 39th and Ctillham Road. There were no records broken-in fact, the boys did not show up very well. The Seniors won the meet with 32 pointsg the Sophomores captured 29g the Juniors bunked in third place with 20, and the Freshmen brought up the rear with I8 points. , 1 iii: mit' ' .:'f 'ii:-ini 4i7u5i ii:t75'mi:-if ' V151111S2121-!ei'L'rQli':l.ndn':i1is1i:5?':QQ?':44S:13iliLTSLsZ:.

The team was not sent to Columbia this year, because the boys were inexperienced and they did notihave time to practice sufficiently. ' if Meet was arranged with the Kansas City, Alias., High School, but had to be abandoned because a park could not be obtained for a suitable date. Instead, a Track and Field Meet was held at Elm Ridge on Saturday, May 25. Carl and Hogg tied for the cup offered to the one making the largest number of points.

I The Society wishes to thank Miss Nardin for her kind help and advice, through which the Society has prospered and improved wonderfully during the past year. Was there ever such a program committee? Ask some of our visitors this year or any of the members, especially someone who has tried to shirk. Indeed, our programs for the whole year have been exceptionally good and a great deal of credit is due to the earnest workers on the committee and to the interest taken by the members. The program for our Patriotic Day was a most interesting one. It began with America,,' sung by the Society. Then followed tableaux, in which Adeline Volker, Lucile Coffin, Eloise Day, Emma Stickle, and Laura Snodgrass took part, representing the American girl at different periods of the country's history. Miss Elsie Warren and Miss Catherine Ware read interesting papers on American Customs. At the close of the meet- ing a short scene from The Crisis was given, Miss Julia Lyman reading the prologue. The characters were as follows: Colonal Carvel. . . . . . . . . .Kenneth Taylor. Silas Whipple .. .. .. .. ..Marvin Cary. Virginia Carvel. . . . . . . .Nanna Clagett.. On March I5 an Irish program was given in honor of St. Patriclfs birthday. Mr. I-lull gave us a short talk, which, needless to say, was very amusing. Ivve are always delighted to hear from Mr. I-lull. Miss Ethel Mott read a paper entitled A Trip through Ireland, telling of some Irish customs. Readings were given by Edith Wornall' and Tessie O,Neil. The paper read by May Chace, telling us of the fun at MissouriiUniversity on St. Patrick's Day, was unusually clever. Mar- garet I-lolmes read a very good paper on an Irish subject. Colin Alexander, as treasurer, has proved to usr the possibility of his becoming a great financier. Qur treasury department has never been in better condition. ni-51 1 i- -5-r li-17-571-10152--131-15-115112112 ':a:1::g.2':.::.. -3 mi-21.2-Q,--..T-.Z.A...Y-.. 1 -A ks ly, rrt, ads .nd OD 16t' CII, or- ry. att, in ive ery om led' 'lSl'l tall lay sityr ar- flSh' UST ner. tter OFFICERS OF ROUND TABLE CLUB.

The last program that was given in the old Westport l-ligh School was an open meeting, at which the boys of the Society presented the thrilling melodrama, Walter, the Xvatchmakerf' For several days preceding the production of this match- less piece of literature, its coming was heralded by posters announcing: The Production Of WALTER, THE XXfATCHMAKER,,, Tabascohs Greatest Problem Play. Straight from London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, New York, and Dodson. As a consequence of the advertising before- hand, the Study Hall was crowded. 'l-he play was written, staged, and acted by the boys of the Society. Before the performance, Catherine Ware read a criticism of the piece from the Dodson Dramatic Mfirror. At the conclusion of Miss Wareg's read- ing, the Wiinderspiel Band, consisting of four in.- struments, violin, mouth-harp, bones, and a street- car gong, played the overture, under the leadership of Herr Bangloud falias Clyde Chacel. The crowd enthusiastically demanded an encore. Be- fore the curtain finally rose on the thrilling first act. Kenneth Taylor, with the aid of a ladder, a mega- phone and a transom, gave a synopsis of the first scene.

The most charming setting was that depicting the rose-garden of the McFadden mansion. All the rare and beautiful blossoms both known and unknown to humanity were luxuriantly displayed on the stage. The audience expressed the greatest glee at the realistic birds fluttering among the rose- bushes. A slight stiffness of limb and glassiness of eye only enhanced the charm of the feathered folk. The sudden rise of the moon in the heavens was also a source of enjoyment to the spectators. For true heart-interest, the scene in the tower of the captive Evangeline when her lover enters was indeed effective. The singing of their respective arias by the hero' and heroine outrivaled Caruso and Melba. The hero's voice brought tears to every eye. Q Vlfhen the curtain fell after the ignominious death of the five wicked ones and the triumph of true love and goodness, the audience declared their appreciation of the performance by long-continued spplaussr. 4 The Nall-sun cast included: Walter, the Watchmalfer.. ..Sumner Blossom.

Une of the most pleasing features of this program was the old Latin song, C1audeamus,'i which was sung by four girls, who responded to an encore by a Latin version of Everybody Works but Fatherf' Q Mr. l'lohmann's good ideas have been of great help to the program committee as well as to fthe Society in general. Our members will all say that Herbert Snod- grass is the very best of presidents and that his name will go down in history fof the Round 'lablej as one of the most popular. lVlr. Paul Stivers, vice-president during the first term, was given no opportunity to display his ability in the chair. But we do not doubt that, had he been given a chance, he would have filled the chair with dignity. Miss Ethel Mott, vice-president during the second term, discharged the duties of her omce with credit. The secretaries of the past year, Nanna Clagett and Rachel Kincade, have proved themselves capa- ble and energetic. Among the numerous things in which the Round Table Club excels the other societies are the unusually attractive posters furnished by Charline Baily. Miss Baily's talent and originality deserve as much praise as her efforts for the Society merit our thanks. The Round Table Club has been more than well-represented in school affairs during the year. We have eight members on the HERALD Staff. The secretary of the Senior Class, the treasurer of the Senior Class, the secretary and vice-president of the Junior Class are all members of the Round Table Club. Six members of the cast of the Christmas Play were representatives from our club. We also have two members, Laura Snodgrass and Ayers Blocher, on the Commencement program. It is with great regret that the Society loses its twenty-two Seniors this year. The Round Table Club hopes that the departing members will hold it in the same affectionate remembrance that the Society will always feel for them. 1 1. , Liz.. ..:.,, g.'.:.::. ..:c1:4..i: 4514. 1: gli .Mg - ,,:L,1,33355!-,,,.3ni,,-nikumayizekghizsggki-..7 .-..,.,-.-........QN.,,. , . .1 -, .. .-A .,- -,,- Y.-.-..-.--.-,.,,,.,.,, .,,,,zrq,x . . - -'-+-----1213-:m'I l . r .. .. ..... . . ,,.,. . .... :.... ,, EL.: , , 2,,,,,.,: ,V, --.e .... -,,,.,..,,,- t '-4- - '- '--'A '--- ...L YL- .ns:w:s:'33?,---,g....4..2n1er-f. - .-, ,, , .

Although we have not taken in as large a number of applicants, the work has been of a more serious and sensible nature. The original object of the Society has been followed more closely than in some previous years, and the results have been very pleasing to the Faculty, and especially so to the members. Literary attempts and debates have been subjects of much interest. We have had an especially good choice of presidents. Miss Anna Brainerd, who filled the office of president the first term, is a very efficient worker. Mr. E. L. Cox, the second-term president, filled the office with honor to himself and to the Society. Both of these verv desirable members are Seniors and their loss will be greatly felt by the Clionians. It is through the assistance and sympathy Of our adviser, Mr. Shouse, who has taken great infr- est in the real and serious work of the Society, t at Violet. the standard of the Clionians has been raised to greater heights, and we heartily thank him for his aid and sympathy in all we have undertaken. i Next year the Society will feel the loss of a number of very brilliant and hard-working Seniors, but without any doubt they will be with us in spirit, as are the Alumni of former years, although they do not assist regularly at the meetings. For Gnce a Clionian, always a Clionian. On account of the loss of our dear old West- portf' the Society has been obliged to give up the usual end-term entertainment and the entertain- ment of the Alumni.

It will not be long until the new School will be completed, and we hope then to be able to give- some very good entertainments. Thanks are due Mr. Leon I-larkins, the vice-- president, who has worked very hard this year. 7 -...,.-.,-o.vqer ev. . f- -e -f -..:a:.... ,.

CHUC- The Clionians regretfully say good-bye totheir true friend and former adviser, Mr. l-l. L. Green, with the hope that he may be as successful in what- ever he undertakes as he was in winning the hearts and best wishes of the members of this Society. The debate between chosen members of the Clionian and Debaters was a great success. As was expected, The Debaters won their side of the question. The Clionians were highly complimented by the judges and visitors present, however, for the way in which they held their side against the excel- lent Debaters, lVlr. Campbell and Mr. Hawthorne. The treasurer, Mr. Gray l-lodges, has done double service this year, and, moreover, he has not tired of his work. At the second election he was chosen by unanimous vote of the members present. To say that the readings, declamations, de- bates, essays, and musical selections given this year were of the usual high order is to praise them no little. Society work gives excellent opportunities for the cultivation of special talents that the class- room can not offer. It is surprising that some of our best students fail to recognize this. 3.1. zz.: ,'.l:.,,'..g:.gz:q ..-:L1a:..t:g,f-L .z':1 '-ua:zzziaxzaaasufazi-szxtxnvarasaeze vF-efkh5l3z' muxxnie i2YL1QUw1HmHf-1w-wW Ffe '4 sf--F' ' - b, .Hn ' 'l T '1'S '4 ' A'i 1 i'f1---tl' 1 A Pftvzrr y5?i-nfwi :33f-fag-.zsgznagnguq-:glqns-53153:5-55-F-.::.q.q-u.cg.f:g,s:g,s:x:::n1-sgpgssiggqgpgngm-J:-.zz me-'ru::: an t.:.5':fr:12n'1v:1I5g lone not was sent. de- year 1 ' no iities lass- e of THE WESTPORT I-IIGH Scriooi. HERALD. 63 The Clionian Society appreciates very greatly the kindness and encouragement of Mr. Underwood and hopes that he may remain with us many years to bless its meetings with his always welcome presence. The Program committees deserve especial thanks, as they have taken great care and interest .in their work. l Some of the farces given in the meetings have been very entertaining, and there was 'great fear at the beginning of the year that the Society would fall victim to their snare. At last, by the hard Work of sensible members, more durable work was taken up. At one meeting of the Society a production called The Deestrick Skulen was given. The members of the Faculty on seeing some of the per- formers, and enticed by the very suggestive poster which announced the farce, could not resist the temptation and were compelled to leave their tasks and visit the session. After the meeting, many re- marks were heard of how this little production ref- called their school-days of 'ilong ago. Another interesting feature of the year was an old-fashioned spelling match, in which Miss Nellie G'Brien was the winner of the first prize and lVliss Norah Penn of the booby. Miss Penn managed to spell neck-tie, n-e-c-h-t-i-e. At the same meeting a de- bate on the question of reformed spelling was given. Several former members of the Society paid us visits during the year. Their presence at our meet- ings is always appreciated. We take this oppor- tunity of urging all former Clionians to pay their visits sto their Alma Mater at times that it will be convenient for them to attend the meetings of the Society. . The program of the first meeting of the second term was followed by a light luncheon that was enjoyed by all. The credit of its success belongs mainly to the girls. Miss Shire was present and gave us an inspiring talk. Ralph Kelly deserves special mention for the humorous songs he sang. The luncheon served its purpose admirably, which purpose was to afford us an opportunity to become better acquainted with one another. The harmonious spirit that has pervaded the Society throughout the year is worthy of notice. Nothing is more destructive to the best interests of such an organization as ours than the existence of cliques and factions. Let Fate do her worst, There are moments of joy, Bright dreams of the Past, She ne'er can destroy. So now we will leave Each one to his fate, And greet the Clionians Of Nineteen-ought-eightf' frm M jj C, BFHL .UV A.:,- M, ,-. , , A U . -....:..--..,.a...:z..1'mr:A.L is .- Y 'W' --- , --. . - - .-. . .r ' arf- -' -- ' '-521:31 .

The Society of Westport High School that was formerly known as the Iota Kappa Beta Society changed the name to the Osiron Societv, at the request of the Faculty. The new name is derived from the title of the Egyptian god of good fortune, Osiris. The course of study that was completed this year consisted ot a review of the most interesting features of Egypt, Palestine, Greece, Italy, and France. The papers have displayed thought and attention to the subjects considered and have been very instructive. On January 28, there was an outside meeting at the home of the president. The program, which was devoted to a study of Greek mythology, was' enlivened by the presence of the Delphic Oraclef' who gave advice and counsel. Like all our out-- side meetings, this one was very pleasant. Cn March 4. the members of the Osiron So- ciety were invited to the open meeting of The De- baters. The program given bv The Debaters was a discussion of the question. Resolved, That sub- sidies and laounties should be given to encourage' commerce. The meeting was very interesting and was thoroughly enjoyed by every Osiron- present. We have two members who are honored by places on the Commencement program, Helen Xxfeber and Laura Snodgrass. Helen Weber gives' one of the two declamations and Laura Snodgrass' reads an essay. The Osiron Society is represented among the Junior officers by Zemula Johnson, who is secretary of the class.

These girls will be missed very much by those of us remaining in school and will always be held in loving remembrance. Laura Snodgrass has been a most capable presi- dent during her two terms of office. The Society very much appreciates her activities during the year.

It can be safely said that The Debaters of Westport High School have just experienced their most successful year since their organization, five years ago. Vve began the year a little younger, a great deal less experiencedg but, by the conscientious work of our members, we have made the past season a great one in the history of The Debaters. We have become more proficient in the art of debate, and we feel that this year has meant something for everyone. A streak of official ability seems to run among The Debater members: Marshall Campbell, our president, is president of the Senior Classg John Marley is vice-president of that worthy organiza- tion. Hawthorne is president of the Junior Class, Cary is vice-president, and Johnson is sergeant-at- arms. The HERALD Staff, too, belongs to us. Editor--in-Chief. . . . . . . . . . . .C.

' February I5, l907, The Debaters were enter- tained at the home of Paul Jones. Progressive crokinole was the game of the evening, and prizes were awarded to Raymond Clarkson and Joseph Hawthorne. After refreshments, members were called upon for impromptu debates, which were fol- lowed by toasts in memory of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Green acted as toast-master. The evening was concluded with songs. March l8, open meeting. Guests, Osiron Society, Faculty, Boys, De- baters in Embargof' Events: Regular program, speeches from visitors. Remarks by Mr. Underwood: I like this plan which you have of every active member tak- ing part in the general discussion when his name is called.

We respected him, now we hold him in our- esteem, which is akin to love. Had we the words, we should thank him for his help, and murmur our' regrets at his departureg but we are at a stand- still and have forgotten our lines, as it were. So we say unanimously, from the depths of our hearts: Mr. Green, we wish you well!

Please, would you at some future time introduce me to Mr. Boyle? The plaintive note in this appeal can not fail to impress the public that you are much sought after.

The Osiron girl who thought that you were trying to flirt with her from the debating platform was indeed too conscious of her charms. Don't be dis- couraged, John: such vital energy, well utilized, will make your fortune yet.

Owing largely to our cramped quarters. which necessitate many periods, we are greatly handicapped and issue only two copies a year. In l908, when we move to the new building, the HERALD will probably increase the number of copies from two to four or six copies a year. Until then we hope our exchanges will continue to ar- rive, uneven though the trade often is. At present all we can do is to give thanks for what we receive and to offer humbly that which we can give. Owing to the Hre, which destroyed the greater part of the exchanges received, we cannot tell exact- ly from whom we have received exchanges. We will send copies to all on our last list'and to all those received since the fire, hoping that none will be overlooked. Oi want a pair av shoes fer me bye. French kid?
