reply, except wise looks and a few titters. At this inopportune moment a tall lad with a glowing head accidentally 'tipped a small, innocent looking boy with spectacles out upon the floor. The O. E. glared at them and said, Ray and Parker, leave the room! They went out merrily whistling, Home was never like this and the others looked longingly after them. The O. E. now opened a book and proceeded to satisfy himself concerning the ignorance of his progeny on all the subjects he mentioned. First he asked Emily to state the theorem under consideration. A dark- haired girl by the window, who had been vainly trying to attract the attention of two surveyors outside, turned her gaze from the street a moment and said shortly, Don't know. Discouraged, he turned to a husky looking chap in brick colored trousers and said, Gilbert, can you tell us? Gilbert could and did. Here the O. E. noticed a flourishing correspondence which was taking place between a pretty black-haired girl and the boy next to her. He opened the door and Belle and Earl also were lost in the distance. Noticing the complacent expression of one chap, who proudly wore a '10 class pin, he said, Well, Clyde, what do you know about it? Clyde told in a few words what he didn't know about it and was much relieved when he told Annie, a rosy-cheeked blonde, with her mouth full of gum, to go to the board and draw the figure. Then he called on Gladys, a tall saucy-looking maiden who had been quarreling with Harry, a dignified chap with a purple tie, to prove it. Gladys replied that he couldn't prove anything by her. At this moment a rap at the door was heard and the O. E. hurried out, blushing furiously. Bessie jumped up and proposed that all sing, Irene, my own, We'll build a nice little home, etc., but Dora objected and said, When we're M-A-double R-I-E-D would be more appropriate. I was writing hurriedly and did not look up for some time. Then what was my surprise to see that the last of this remarkable class had quietly faded away. S4 Sl MODERN HISTORY Our Modern History class, of which Miss Gould is teacher, is composed of Sophomores and Seniors. At this, the close of the school year, our ranks are somewhat thinner than they were at the beginning of it. Some allowed their aspirations toward knowledge to become parched with the burning heat of our beloved school building, others objecting to their memories being taxed and their valuable time monopolized by the valorous deeds of the heroes of another continent, went out into a part of their owrr hemisphere, perchance, to make themselves famous in an original way. Our course in History began at the point where the Holy Roman Empire and the papacy had grown into shape and form. We found that the age of Revival, beginning with the 11th century and ending with the discovery of our new world, was a time when civilization was

making slow but sure advances. The Crusades or Holy Wars were the most remarkable undertaking of this age. During the Era of the Reformation which extended into the 17th century all wars and interests centered on religion. The last great combat was the Thirty-Years War which ended with the celebrated Peace of Westphalia. The Era of the Political Revolution extended from that Peace to the present time. We note with interest the conflict between despotic and liberal principles of government, and rejoice in the triumph of democratic ideas. Those of us who thot it worth while to expend our time and energy learn- ing of these great movements and the victories as well as the mistakes of the great leaders of history, think that time and energy have not been spent in vain. If we are wise we will profit by the success and the failures of others and will make better citizens for our own United States. .Q 9 ATIN, the bore of the less scholarly portion of the human family, is used by instructors as a means of securing the undivided N attention of youthful aspirants to linguistic honors. In the gymnasium of the mind this subject is much used in the place of, or rather to the exclusion of the three R's. And as a developer and strengthener it has them all beaten as the propor- tion x is to y as 3z is to the square of R shows. Since no other subject is so capable of developing the oratorical talent of the pupil, or better still since no other subject requires the amount of blufiing which Latin does, it is particularly adapted to, and much used by those who wish to take a Law or Medical course. For as Cicero says: Believe me, a good bluff beats four of a kind. After long and careful study it has been decided that the fire of October 17 was caused solely by the dryness of the Latin books ignited by a spark of interest shown by the Freshmen.
