Kathrina Norton, a Freshman, having a conventional design very neatly and carefully drawn, won third honorable mention. Pearl Moore's design was very good and quite original, with a kewpie laughingly wink- ing at the observer, with Herald in the background in representation of the sun. Lucile North's was a girl dreamily looking off to sea. Albert XVelch's shows a girl standing bv a hammock, with the trees touching overhead in a sort of arbor. Other contestants for the HERALD cover were Dorothy Kendall, Maud Meade, Sophia Bruckmiller, Gladys Austin, Marian Green, Flora Oliver, Charlotte Nash, Evelyn Ross, Helen Sarver, and Nadyne Meyers. All of these covers are very worthy of mention. SECOND YEAR CHARcoAL WORK Maurine Perkins's charcoal work shows great talent. Her mask of Lincoln brings out his character in a realistic way. Her Dona- tellols Laughing Boy is very expressive and proves that a great deal of thought and painstaking care has been spent on it. Dorothy Kendall has a very pretty Head of Madonnal' framed and in Ro-om 76. She also shows excellent talent, though in a softer and more delicate way than Miss Perkins. Marian Green's charcoal drawing of Per- seus is very good, and there was much hard study on her part to get the effect. Ruby Crary, the winner of the HERALD cover, drew a very good head of Apollo. Margaret Meriwether's drawing of Diana is also worthy of praise. F1RsT YEAR PERSPECTIVE WoR1c The Hrst year work is mostly perspective and those who have done excellent work dur- ing the whole year are Frances Stark, Kath- rina Norton, Mary Elizabeth Lewis, and Lila Merrick.

THE WESTPGRT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 27 It was a terrible struggle, dragging one numb foot after the other. Besides, there was the mental anguish. At n-oon we stopped just long enough to eat a bite, and then we plodded on. I was almost exhausted, but I could not help thinking what Alicels suffering must be compared to mine. It began to get dusk, and yet we had not seen a sign of any living creature. We had given up hope of finding them that night, and were looking for a sheltered spot in which to rest until mo-rning. The guide in fr-ont suggested that we go to the lea side of a peak a short way ahead of us. As we rounded the peak, we saw four men coming toward us. When our party got close enough to see that they wcre all there but one guide, Alice fainted. The other party came up before we had re- vived her. It does my heart go-od to think of the rejoicing of those few minutes. Alice's brother said they had been walking along a broad flat space without the use of the rope. The guide who was carrying the rope, decided he wanted to look over the precipice, so he lay do-wn and squirmed out to the edge. just as he reached the edge, there was a crack like a revolver sho-t, for a huge piece of ice had chipped off, carrying with it the guide and the rope. It was terrible to see the guide fall, but what were the others to do? They had no rope. They had waited two days in hope of a rescue party, but their provisions were almo-st gone. They had not come very far when they met us. We made ourselves as comfortable as pos- sible for the night. The next morning Alice, her father, brother, and her father's friend started down with our two guides, while the other guide and myself set out to see if we could secure the body -of the man who had been lost. HUGH L. THOMPSON, '15, THE QUESTION They asked now, As oft before, W hat's the use Of wild, rnad war? Why should mortals Struggle in painj Only to triurnph And then be slain? Shall this eontinue,' These horrors of war, Continue now, As years before? 0 Answer yes! 'Tis the deoil's way, That life we spend And culture slay. As long as uian In his mortal breast, The greed for gold Holds o'er the rest, So long shall nations And lives be lost In quest of power. God save the cost! CAMERON Kizou REED, '15,
