' 1Hr12far12. 1 HE abilities of the class must heretofo1'e necessarily have had their bounda- ries Within the school walls. But now that we are going out of those Walls. We feel that, as we go, the eyes of the world arecuriously turned upon us and are questioning our capabilities. We mean THE GLEAM to be the answer, and therefore it is the result of our most strenuous efforts-it is the best of which We are capable. Nor is this its only aim. It is to be a memoir of our school days in later years, and is only another reason Why it should repre- sent our best efforts. Also, THE GLEAM is not without its ambitious motives. It has been our aim to make this paper show a decided step upward. We be- lieve this should be the aim of all succeeding GLEAMS. And We reluctantly admit that we have left room for many such steps. Just how well we have succeeded in this aim-just how many steps we have left unclimbed, we leave the reader to decide. Commencement Programme . .... .. Dedication ........v... ..........-.... .......

Culmination is a sure predeces- ' sor of retrogressiong and retrogression is the beginning of death. Life moves from the organization of the cell to that of the body, from that of the body to the building-of thought, from thought to systems, and does not stop until it reposes at the feet of Him who made it and who crowns it. If one is living, he forms part of this grand life-procession, and not . 1 X ' N, Y l , GEORGE S. BRYANT.

When he sees men who have attained the hundredth degree of genius, who have been caught up into the seventh heaven of earth's glories and have reported glimpses I ll THE GLEAVI. ll of things ineffable, he does not ask for rest, but supplicates for a longer life in which to work and grow. In whatever realms one moves, he sees names ahead beckoning him forward. 'The enthusiasm of work is intensified by the he1'oes that have lifted history out of the valley of the Nile and the plains of Babylon and replanted it on the mountains and rivers of America. lt is stim- ulated by those artists that have transiigured mounds and massive temples into Parthenon and cathedral. The names of Angelo, Raphael, Beethoven, Fry and Nightingale admit of no repose to a living soul. For, what a man has been, a man can be, yea, moregwhat all men have been, one man can bc. The living, burning desire of the soul to be all comprehensive, keeps the world's brain in everlasting motion. Living and working were wedded in the Garden of Eden. They cannot be divorced. If one must work in order to live, then what is one's best equipment? Into whatever kind of world your lot may fall, if it is in any sense God's world, there are some things that should not fail to count in favor of their possessors. If the heart is welded to truth, justice, right and duty, these rich properties should be the means of high living and sweet enjoy- ments. Some things are necessary to manhood and Womanhood. Loyalty to God, loyalty to man, loyalty to self, receive their inspiration from on high. These are essentials. A human character built on less cannot stand, and will fall beneath the measure of its own true greatness. These are coins which have the stamp of heaven on them and will pass current in any world, just so it is God's world. The key-words to success are honesty, bravery, simplicity, truthfulness and patience. Let these be in you and abound, and the class of 1904 will have something which the world needs, and which it cannot afford to do without, and may it at last receive the crown that belong to faithful souls.

The first and I highest beauty is that of characterg when young, if one is kind and dutiful, that beauty will stay with him always, and if practiced it will bring the soft and beautiful expression, which will stay with one not only unto death. but be remembered ever afterward. The second, or lower beauty is the beauty of form, as in the first part of Sellas' lifeg though beautiful in form, she was selfish and did not have the expression that a noble character produces. If you wish to keep the beauty of youth in old age. you must do things for others. This is also illustrated in Sellas, character. She spent her youth in selfishness, but after the loss of her magic slippers and her mother, she spent one night in solemn prayer, after which she awakened to a new life of generosity and love. By doing things for others she kept her beauty in old age. BABY OWL. 3 . 1 4 1 r 1 4 4 5 .' i i v 1 t -L..w.v,. . .grass-.r fa 'Z --ra. lm...1., ll 2' 5 1 .

Proscribed'7 is a word that can be understood in this connection onlv by the weak brethren and sisters of our English history class, and since that does not include many others than myself, I shall explain. First imagine the class going to the recitation room with that same resigned look that Chris- tians are said to have had when going to persecution. Then, imagine seated before them, a being whose brain is the never exhausted source of a fountain of history that pours forth its contents from the eyes and mouth, but never very long from the latter without being shaped into the form of a question. It is While this question is being moulded that a strange look of horror settles down on a great many faces in the class. It is then, for the first time since the open- ing of the recitation, that a familiar looking little green backed note book is noticed, as this historical being sits and chews its corner. But who will be the victim of that question? What! Yes, she has said, Minnie The inevi- table I don't known follows, as does also the VV-e l-l. - - Agnes from the front part of the room. Agnes is the Achilles of our class, but we are jealous- ly hoping that some day an arrow will strike the heel. Meanwhile the little green note book has been taken down and something written in it. I suspect if you should send a little elf up to examine this little book he would come back with a report that the book had a death smell and that the name f4Minnie was Written there with a good sized period twhose face was not blackj placed after it. Yes, THIS is prescription, for she has murdered, or at least stunted the growth of, a poor helpless little grade. Since our grades are such a large part of us I say that I have been proscribed. But what is that melodious sound I hear? Is it Beethoven's The Moonlight Sonata? Is it one of Chopin'sidreamy little airs? No, it is just the bell. MINNIE OWL. ef This afternoon I was thinking about my trip out 'West, and my thoughts went to the mountains-especially the one I climbed. I remember that I stood near the base of the mountain, and thought-how stupendous it was and felt how insignificant I was. But how changed was this feeling when I had reached the summit of the mountain. I looked down upon the great valley below, and because my position was elevated, and because I had, at one glance, a great stretch of scenery before me-I felt bigge1', now that I was not on a level with it, but so very much higher that it could scarcely see me. While I was in the reminiscent mood, other thoughts were suggested to nie.

They have existed in the moral realm of our world since the advent ofiman, and devious as may be their manifestations, according to circumstances, they remain the same, inherently, 'and always exhibit the same tendencies. When God gave to man an intelligent soul, and invested him with the prerogatives of moral free agency, then was born that instinctive love of liberty, which through all past time, has manifest- ed itself in individuals and in societies: and in every age, the consciences of men have boldly and indignantly asked in presence of oppression, If 1'm design'd. yon Lord1ing's slave By Nature's laws designed. Why was an independent wish E'er planted in my mind? ' If not, why am I subject to His cruelty and scorn? Or why has man the will and power ' 'V To make his fellows mourn? ' Eachicolony got much of itsform of colonial government from England. The Americans got their natural love of Liberty from England, and also their determination to tax themselves through their representatives. They conten- ded for the same principles of government that the people of Englandcon- tended for from 1215, when they forced King John to sign the Magna Charta, to the Revolution of 1688 when the liberty of England was firmly established. It has been said, God sifted the whole English nation to send the best into the wilderness of New England. These people, like the people of Virginia, were lirm opposers of England's tyranny. The colonies always looked at-England as their mother country, until she acted so arbitarily toward them. As Washington said: 'tArbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of libe1'ty abused to ylicenvtiousnessf' V Before the French and Indian War, the colonies were treated fairly well by England, because the French were back of the English settlements, and naturally a sense of danger bound the colonies closer together towa1'ds Eng- land for help. For this reason England did not strictly enforce the Navigation Acts. But as soon as the French had lost their territor in Ame ' U th I . y rica, e English began to enforce the Navigation Acts, and to make other laws regard- ing commerce. In the town-meetings, and the meetings on county-court da fs in 5 the diferent colonies, the people began to express their sentiments about the arbi- t . . . I ,- . iaiy in e of England.

I-Iabeas Corpus, Parliament was made supreme, free elections, that the executive should not interfere with the election of the members of House of Commons, no arbitrary imprisonment, no arbitrary taxation, and that the judges we1'e made independent of the king, by letting then' hold office for life or during good be- havior. The king was violating these principles when he kept the judges under his control, and quartered the troops here and taxed the colonies. VVe will now tu1'n to the growth of independence among the col- onies. The colonies were a great distance from Europe.. England could not rule the colonies as she could a territory nearer England. The people in Eng- land did not know the laws that the Americans needed, nor could they enforce the laws they made. This country was large in extent, and the people were spread out along the Atlantic coast. The peopleled free and independent lives: they were used to depending on themselves against the wild animals, Indians and the French. These circumstances led the people to be spirited and then, too, had been allowed by England to be a self-governing people. The people of the colonies were mostly descended from English, and they claimed the rights of Englishmen, as laid down in theEnglish constitution. I beg you to consider whether the Americans were iight or wrong in 1'ebellion against England. Local government had much to do with the growth of that independent spirit. There were three dilferent forms of local government in the colonies. In New England there was the township government, and there the people was the power. They met once a year to discuss questions concerning welfare of col- onies, to levy taxes, and elect their town oflicers. Thus every person had a voice in the government. Thomas Jefferson said: The townships in New England are the vital principles of their government and have proved them- selves the wisest invention ever devised by the wit of man for the perfect exer- cise of self-government and for its preservation. In the southern states, and especially in Virginia was the country system. The counties were governed by a county court consisting of eight members, appointed at first by the gover- nor, but made a close co-operation by being allowed to iill their vacancies. On county court days, when the courts would meet, the people all over the county would gather in to transact business and to discuss political questions. These meetings took the place of the township meetings as political 'training schools. In the middle colonies was the mixed government, which was on the county form, but the towns sent representatives to the county court. Although there were Dutch, Scotch, Irish, Swedes and French in the colonies, by far the majority of the colonists were English. From the col- Where most were English, was whe1'e the most open resistence to the political II1G3,Sll1'SS that England was trying to fasten on America. The oppressive royal governors led the different colonies to draw nearer together. The two colonies that can give their expressions concerning oppressive governors are Massachusetts and Virginia. Also the commercial policy of England led to a.

Her chatelaine, a parallelogram, hung vertically from her belt, the chains forming an eqilateral triangle. If she happened to wear a bunch of flowers, she always had the geometrical effect in their arrangement, and they were pinned at an angle of forty-five degrees. with her chin. She has been called Horiginali' but in her room we meet with other originals--the ones to be proved. Altogether the time spent in her room is very enjoyable, especially on every third TlI1l11'S4l2L-Y-THE TEST DAY. i Who thinks of our High School and not of Miss Brown? Who has passed through our High School and has not been under her influence? tVVe say very few. Who can takeher place? It seems as though no one can, for we remember well our holiday during her sickness. Of course we were glad to be with her again, but accompaning her was Milton and his poems. We welcomed her with poorly prepared lessons, but everyone knows how diiiicult it is to settle down to work after a few days of rest. Miss Brown understood thoroughly, for we ther Shakspearian studentsj acknowledge that had she and Shakespeare lived at the same time, they no doubt would have been rivals in the reading of human nature. Nevertheless we can count at least one of her mistakes. In our study of :'Comusl' we came across the expression duck and nod. She asked Meta what was meant. Meta made no 1'eply. Miss Brown then said she would ask someone who understood more of dancing. She then turned to Helen. Of course Helen knew, but being too surprised to think, she answered, I do' not know.'7 It seemed that no one understood the terms of dancing just then, so it fell upon Miss Brown to explain. She did so with great fullness and ease, much to the surprise of some of usjwho knew her wide reputation as an excellent Sunday School teacher. If there is any sound which the Seniors like to hear more than the tink- leing of the electric bell at the end of 45 minutes in Miss Phelps, room it is the summons t'You may take paper and pencil for a few questions on the lesson. This summons has various effects on the different members of the class. Some who are fortunate enough to be able to explain and understand the theories of Mr. Gage, look pleasedx Others, whose delight is to ask questions, look scared, while others grow deathly pale. This is but one of Miss Manserls delights. Another one is to make us study very hard in anticipation of a written lesson, and then with a smile of triumph on her face announce: You may take the same lesson we were to have for todayf' All the pupils begin to exchange hurried words and glances as to the meaning of this. But alas! we have not long to wait for the next summons: Those who are in the habit of changing their seats for tests may do so, reveals everything. We are to have a test, and one covering the very subject of which we know nothing. The rest of the story is short.

When we started to school last year we did not fully realize this important fact, but we did not remain long in ignorance. The haughty manner of the Seniors and Juniors soon showed us that we did not trot in their class, as horseman say. They even went so far as to collect in rooms by themselves, not admitting anyone, not even the Sophomores. This hurt the Sophomores, I think, for they then organized and proceeded to imitate the Seniors as closely as possible. But we do not care. We know that we are superior to them all. we do not tell everyone, however, so only a few people know this. There are many points of superiority, but I will not name them all as that would take too long. We outnumber any other class, ,for our class num- bers over a hundred, while the Seniors have only twenty or thirty and the Juniors and Sophs. between forty and fifty apiece. Also we are more polite than the Seniors. If a Freshman speaks to a Senior, the Senior will not notice the salutation. QThis cannot be on account of our size, for some of us are not at all smallj. If the case is reversed, however, the Freshman will not only answer in a very friendly manner, but will even go several blocks out of his way in order to give the Senior the pleasure of his company. This is also ,true of the Sophmores and Juniors when the Senior happens to bc a girl. But I will leave it to my readers to judge which shows a more friendly spirit. , The Sophomores are very condescending towa1'ds us, but we will not be- come intimate with them. Their minds are very much occupied, when they are not trying to give a play or minstrel show or something of the kind, they are busily engaged in quarreling among themselves. This is probably very inter- esting for them, but 1'ather hard on the by-standers a-standin' by. When they become Juniors, we hope they will drop these childish ways. However, we can at least learn from them what we should NOT do next year. We may possibly learn something from the Juniors and Seniors also. The last named class is perfect in every respect. If you do not believe me, ask them, and they will tell you all about it. We, however, will not stoop so low as to praise ourselves, and we have already complimented the other classes until, I fea1', our reputation for confessing other people's faults is almost ruin- ed. And now a painful duty is ours. We must bid our 1'93.Cl61'S fa1'ewell for- 6V61', for, when next you hear from us, We will be Sophomors! - CHARLES SEXTON. To ALL Lovnns or STRUGGLING GENIUS.

MF you have been Watching the Junio1's, as of course you have, you know that we are fast moving towards the king row, and must ere long be crowned, even now we can seeithe gleam of the glory that will soon be ours-- that of receiving our Hsheep skinsf, and let me assure you, we fully appreciate the magnitude of that approaching glory. This, and the consciousness of the benefit our record will be to the advancement of the standards of the Indepen- dence High Sehool, are what make us such a remarkable body of students. On September 15, 1903, the whole town was asti1', for the happy and animated Juniors were swarming in at both doors of the high school, and al1'eady we were feeling our importance. as We were intending to drink deeply of the 1'lV6l' of learning, for we found we had many things to learn. ' We are many in numbers, but goodly to look upon and full of inherent g1'eatness. Our entering the high school marks a new era great and glorious. They say history repeats itself, but when will you be able to see the history of the '05's repeated? Thursday afternoon, October sixteenth, we assembled for our first convocation. The school VI-lad gathered then her beauty and her chivalryf' We found our class to be a delightful mixture-big, little, old and young, long, sho1't, thick and thin, but you know it takes all sorts of peo- ple to make up a world. Some of the boys have won great renown as debaters and athletes, and judging from the palateable boxes of fudge produced by the girls, they have already developed quite a fondness for cooking. It was at this first meeting, a dark haired braved was chosen to be chief, and under his administration we passed safely through our formative period. Thanks to the strenuous Hknockingsv of the faculty, and the hectoring of the Seniors above us, the green layers were pealed off, and behold the Junior in a halo of his own glory, glittering and splendid. We are now half way to THE GLEAVI. 25 the top and are still climbing, albeit true We have got up far enough for people to see us shine. We have tirst rank in all things, we are first in war, lrrst in peace, andlirst in the hear'ts of our teachers. This is due to our ex- tr'eme brightness. When a teacher' asks why the blossoms of the Willow are called pussy willows, who ever heard of such a scientific answer' as, 'tWhy because they are catkinsfi Vile have gained universal fame as debaters since we have proved that the Plantagenet period means more to the world than the Tudor period. This being a distinction no other' class has been able to claim. We have been lauded far' and near for this extraordinary achievement.

What a pitiable state of affairs this fact presents! A woman must be intellectual for her protect- ion. but at the same time she cannot be intellectual without seeing the vice of the' world, and if she does see it, then she is not, in the strictest sense, wholly pure. Desdemona was the personifrcation of purity, her soul seems to have been made for a higher place of inhabitance than earth. Yet how we pity her for her lack of knowledge of human character. Portia, on the other hand, was an intellectual woman, her head ruled her heart, she put Bassanio's fidelity to the test. We justify her in all this, but at the same time she seems to sacri- fice some of the natural timidity and purity that gives the feminine sex its beauty. So Godls first woman was the only one who had a chance to be wholly pure, and alas- As daughters, the two women actdifferently from what we would expect under the conditions just related: Desdemona is naturally submissive, yet she is even headstrong, as Hazlitt says, in her vindication of herself fr'om her father's opposition to her' marr'iage. This is true, notwithstanding the fact that she had no will of her' own. Portia, who is naturally willful, says to her suitorsz 'You' know my fatherfs will.' She furthernrore shows the submiss- iveness of her strong will when she says, So is the will of the living daughter curbed by the will of the dead father. ' Desdemona has no will of her own to contend against, yet is headstrong, Portia has a strong will, yet is obedient to father. ' We get a better picture of the two women as wives Desdemona is so submissive that her' own strength is all lost in her submissiveness The idea that Othello could be untrue to, or Jealous of her, seems to her to be an lmpos srbrlltv She savs, The sun where he lived drew all such things out of hrm i Portia, although she loves Bassanro passionately, rs wise enough to see the possibility of hrs infidelity, and she puts hrm to the test bo pure and sweet is the love of Desdemona and Portla, that we think of them s two little flowers in a garden Por tra, the rich thoughtful llttle pansy, who would have for her life protector, a tall velvet attrr ed gallant of her own species, to whom she bows submissrvely, but at whom she occasionally casts up sly sideway glances, Desdemona, the modest pure little wind flower, who has been wooed to with the wind, and how the harlstones natures bullets have whrzzed past , C 7 cc , Z7 D . - 7 . 1 U . 0 u , P ' I .

All these things delight the little wind flower and she chooses him as her protector. Alas, she does not know that all plants are not flowers. The weed instinct crept into the noble sunflower and got such control over him that, true to the instinct, he smothered out the little wind flower. So between Portia and Bassanio, there was absolute congenialityg between Desdemona and Othello there seems to have been a broad gulf-they did not understand each other. Therefore let us not mourn Desdemonals death. She seems to have been too pure and delicate for this world, anyway. Portia belongs more prop- erly to earth. Surely there will be a time sometime, and a place somewhe1'e, where purity and intellectuality may be combined. lVlINNIE OWL. . An Anvrhnie.

Q ITHIN the' last few years the Independence High School has gradually risen to a position of prominence among the many high schools of the state. This advancement in prominence has stirred up an enthusiastic spirit of school patriotism, which has found its growth in class and society organization. As the school increased in numbers it was seen that there were some natural orators among the boys, and they, wishing to give these orators allypos- sible chance to develop their powers, organized the Excelsior Debating Society. The purpose and aim of the society is for mutual improvement, skill in debate and composition, the diffusion of knowledge and the cultivation of the best social qualities. ' The society has all the otlicers and committees necessary to any society of similar nature, namely: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, attor- ney-general and sargeant-at-arms3'the committees are the lookout, program and reception committees. In the election of oflicers a different set is elected each time. This prepares each member for leading any kind of meeting tshould he be called upon to do soj that he may attend. The success of the society is due to the fact that the programs must be ready two Weeks before they are to be given, thus affording the respective sides sufficient time to prepare for a good debate. Each subject must be original. The two Hcaptainsn leach choose one judge, and these two judges, in turn, appoint the third. The judges are usually chosen from members of the society, as it is just as important to be able to tell when a point is made as it is to make one. The society enjoys the distinction of being the oldest in the history of the school, having been organized November 27, 1901. The membership has been gradually increasing until We now have twenty-tive members Who attend regularly. The membership will never be much larger, as several of the best members are lost each year, some of them finishing school, and others stopping for various reasons. The past history of the society is very short, and very interesting. When the society organized three years ago it had twelve charter members, only me riuim. 31 two of which now 1'emain. Still the society keeps progressing in the debating world, for the younger members put much life into their work. Two years ago the Junior Society united with the Excelsior, and thus both societies were greatly benefited. It also served to create a new and stronger interest in debating. The greatest debate in the history of the society is the one it had with the Lexington high school. The Question was Resolved that Napoleon Bonaparte was a Promoter of Constitutional Liberty? Lexington had the choice of sides and chose the negative. The three boys representing the society were Henry Bundschu, leader, William Bostian and Goodman Bell. They won the debate, and with it honor for the school. The society naturally feels very proud of them. The society has given several other debates in the school Auditorium on such questions as Womans'Sutfrage7' and t'Capital Punish- mentl' for the entertainment of the school, and have always had good and in- teresting debates. The clo' ing year has been a verv successful one for the society It has given two enter tarnments, the hrst berng a debate The subject was, Resolv ed That Man rs Intellectuallv Super ror to Wornan 7' The negative won the debate but before the debate was finished the boys on the affirmative srde had resolw ed that the negative speakers were trying to w n the ladies also The second enter tarnment was, The Country Justice, a mock trral presented by the rrrembers of the socretv Phe society has received two challenges thrs year the first being from the Brookheld high school It could not accept the challenge, because of the great distance The second was from the Gamma Delta Sigma, which the society very gladly accepted After a great deal of drscrrssron as to what the question should be, the gn ls wrthdr ew their challenge Fach society may claim a drplomatrc victory, yet neither won any honor for itself The Excelsro regrets verv much that the debate was decl tr ed off, and hopes to ar range for another some trrne rn the future One or two ot the nrembers have drstrngurshed themselves thrs year Mr Roderick Riddle rs noted for hrs famous speech on 4 Woman And Her Hats, ' rn which he stated th it a woman should have a new hat at least once everv srx years Mr Paxton rs fr second Demosthenes He rs also an excellent chairman for the reception committee, for he has such a char ming way of re cervrng the numerous vrsrtors of tne som rety There are many other members just as interesting as those mentioned, but rt happens that their rnter ests run rn a different course A good example of thrs kind of a member we find rn Earle Eubank The Excelsior Debating Society wishes to thank the Gamma Delta Sigma for the delightful manner rn which they entertained them It also wishes to thank Miss Wilson s music class, and all parties who have assisted them rn any Wav, dulmof the past year rn entertarnments The society has brrt one .S U 2 , ' . .

There have been many things over which the Excelsior Debating Society has rejoiced in the past, yet there is nothing that it takes greater pleasure in than knowing it has a sister society, the Gamma Delta Sigma.

I HE GAMMA DELTA SIGMA is the second debating society organized in the -Independence High School, and the tirst for girls. We take pride in acknowledging our membership of and the interest we takein it. Though we have achieved nothing great, still each cannot but say that she has improv- ed in some wayg that she has gained some knowledge of the ways of great men ofour nation, as well as questions regarding it, and other countries. We were organized in October, 1903, with twelve charter members. Since then our membership has been increased to thirty, and as the work grows, so will the membership. Each girl considers that she is far better able to express her ideus in a more concise manner, since she joined our society. Every grade in school is represented, and each has a fair chance to take part. ' As years go by, and some of us have left dear old High School, we hope the younger members to come, will keep up the club spirit, and make the room ring with inspiring debates. The person who can make any discussion inter- esting and intelligible, is a line conversationalist, and 'where can this be learned better, than in a debating societv? We owe Professor Bryant, Professor Palmer, and our teachers, many thanks for their kind encouragement. They have had no chance to be proud of us yet, but when we a1'e a little older, We will show our mettle. A We iind much in our motto, Think and Then Dare. There is an old saying, 'tThink twice before you speak? If you do not, something unpleasant may unintentionally be said. Sometimes people are afraid to express their own opinions, because of the opinions of others. In our society we try to think twice before we speak, and then dare to say it. In our debates, the same way. We consequently have some very interesting discussions. The motto suggests a certain independency of spirit. It means to us, our right to ex- press our opinions and ideas, and show an independence of thought and feel- ing. There is no fear or quaking in the one who is resolved to live ,up to his ideals. Such is our ambitiong to climb higher, and gain an understanding of many questions, th1'ough our debates. . This motto, combined with the prettiest of colors, blue and white, and the sweetest of flowers, the blue violet, surely ought to give us our inspiration. J Essin CASEBOLT. 34 THE GLEAP1.

I Glhararivr Skvtrhva. HFrailty thy name is Woman 1 What do you think Shakespeare means by this line? Read this paragraph, and see if you interpret him as I do. In our class there is a girl who is, beyond doubt, frail. Although I say she is frail, she is not the personilication of frailty or imperfection. She is not per- fect, because sometimes she seems too cold and distant. But have you ever felt the pressure of her hand, or received a smile from her, or one of those warm wo1'ds that enrich the heart? If you have, you will not object to her being .cold and distant at times. Even if you have not experienced the pleas- ure she, because of her sincerity, can give, you should not find fault. Emer- son says, No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature, and if by the law of her nature she is not always as we would have her, we cannot and should not try to interfere. The law of her nature is as sacred to her as Emerson's was to him, or as yours is to you. If she in any way personifies frailty or imperfection, it is by her frail ,or imperfect physical st1'ength. VVithin her frail body there is an undaunted will, a wonderful mental, capacity, and a beautiful moral character. She' is what I think Shakespeare means by the ,woman whose name. he gives to Frailty. ' r Among the number of pupils in our Senior class, is one girl who has always appealed' to me as being particularly interesting. She has a mild, pleasing face, large blue eyes that bespeak thoughtfulness and happiness. This girl will be remembered by her class-mates as one who never answered a question at random, but one who always thought before she answered. Those who were in her geometry classwill always remember that she 'never failed to come to class without preparing her lesson, even the longest theorem. But it is not this that placed her nearest the hearts of her class-mates. It was her unassuming way, and the fact that through all the long years of our high school course, we never found her in any but the best of spirits. She always seemed to scatter sunshine and brightness about her to illuminate the paths of her class-mates. One of OUI' girls is a type representing that large class of persons whose main' characteristic is taciturnity and impressibility. As this taciturnity is such a deeply rooted trait, what is its source? I should say that this trait at TI'IE GLEAVI. 39 its incipient stage was lack of self-confidence. Evidently, this girl for so long a time has lacked self-confidence, and been afraid to advance her own opinions, that now she allows other people to do her thinking for her. That is, she has always had such little respect for her own thoughts, that now she is afraid to form an opinion, much less to advance one before other persons. And the consequence of all this is the girl's inability to say anything. What a defi- ciency this lack of self-confidence is, for the girl cannot trust her own opin- ions, she cannot hope to accomplish great things, is not ambitious. And if a girl is not ambitious, in thc highest sense of the word, she does not have high ideals and a detinite purpose. And a person without purpose acts only on impulse. But, as to the original characteristic, is not lack of enthusiasm a natural accompaniment of taciturnity? So it is with this girl I have been dis- cussing. She does not have her mind made up one way or the other, does not discuss any question that may interest her classmates, and is entirely void of that very essential thing-enthusiasm. She perseveres and works diligently, but what can she, or any one else, accomplish if she is not enthusiastic. The second 'characteristic mentioned was impressibility. To me this seems only a natu1'al result of some of the traits above mentioned. The girl that does really no thinking for herself must depend upon others for her ideas and- opinionsg and as everybody does not think alike, she is influenced first by one opin- ion, then another. But, is she not being controlled by external forces- summarily, is she not losing personality? So it is with the subject of this sketch, she has almost no personality. The girl has many admirable traits of character, yet she is controlled too much by external force, and has not enough strength of her own to make a strong personality. Thus has the development of two features given us a picture of one girl's character-taciturnity, lack of self-confidence, no ambition, no enthusiasm, impressibility, weak personality. 5? One of our boys has an independent spirit which I admire very much. He relies on himself to do many things, and is nearly always successful, because he is determined and not afraid to try. At times he is humorous, and I am sure he delights in teasing, though he does not relish the idea of being teased. He is excitable to a certain degree. and often when being told what is expected of him, says, unconsciously, Why, thunderationl how can we do that-that's too muchf' But interest in whatever he does characterizes him, and he attempts the end and never stands to doubt. Promptness, too, is one his characteristics, especially when he is in the recitation room. He is enthu- siastic, and his enthusiasm appears more strongly when contrasted with the dejected countenance he has, after finding that he had a wrong conception of the subject being discussed. The downcast look soon disappears, however, and he is eager to be called on again. Enthusiasm is an admirable quality at 40 I THE GLEIQYIQ r any time, but more so, I think, when it is shown in seeking to broaden one's mind. - One boy stands out from the rest in his command over the English lan- guage. His choice ofwords comes, I believe, naturally. It might be, how- ever, that he has tried to use the word that tits the occasion best, when either writing or talking, and I think that if he has done this, it has helped him. He always supports one side of a question. He likes fun, and nonsense suits him for a pastime. He has the power of illustrating what he has to say. He is a great admirer of Shakespeare, and can find in his works that which the poet wanted us to see. He shows his appreciation of the writings of a thoughtful autho1', by using to advantage the precious thoughts the works contain. He is quick to take a hint, and able to profit by it. He does not attempt to conceal the fact that he has blunted a few times in one of his studies, but laugh- ingly says that he has, of necessity, reformed. From this We would infer that he has an open nature. Don't think him serious, for he often makes a laughing stock of himself for the amusement of all., 410 1 Some persons, who do not leave upon your mind the impress of some one strong trait, afford you a general idea of their character in the combi- nation of characteristics- thatbthey 1'epresent. So it is with a girl I know. From her voice and manner at times, it is evident that she is of a warm tem- perament, one that is like line, dry kindling wood-it blazes as soon as one tiny match strikes it. g Yet, this kind of fuel makes only a blaze, a little heat, and then dies away. So, the temperament of the girl, she is of an irascible disposition. At the least provocation, she Will become slightly angered and sullen, thus entering one of her moods, which, however, do not last long. As she is easily provoked, so she is easily discouraged. Sometimes she looks as if she had forgotten that effort is wholesome, and seems to count anything short of success failure. Together with these characteristics, is noticeable a lack of seriousness, a quality that may be possessed by even a jolly pe1'son. I say that this lack of se1'iousness is noticeable. I do not mean that the girl is giddy, but that she seems to be detticient in that current of the serious which under- lies all strong characters. The girl is studious, diligent in her work, and seems affectionate-has nothing of the bad in her makeup-yet she lacks a strength that comes from concentration of energies and purpose. This evi- dence of no aim in life explains in part why she loses self control, and is daunted by petty obstaclesg for the girl who has determination and sets for herself a goal that is to be reached by means of that determination, is apt to trample little things under her feet. sf: THE GLEAVI, 41 One of the gi1'ls in our class has an especially kind and pleasing dispo- sition. She has a mild temper and is not easily provoked. She is kind to her classmates and to those she meets. She always has a smile and a pleasant word for her friends. She passes all troubles off with a laugh. She is not giddy and f1'ivolous, but is just simply good natured and mirthful. She is always helpful to those who need her assistance. She does not try to impress others with her superior knowledge, and is not easily offended. Hers is a nature to be desired. 3? She is the type of person we commonly hear termed a sweet girl, although she is not one of those painfully nice sort of people that We must handle with gloves. Her low, easy tones sometimes make us wonder if our voice was not pitched too loud the last time we spoke. She has the same quiet manner about everything she does. She walks as if she were afraid she would make a noise, likewise, she makes no noise about what she can do, She is always telling us in her quiet, easy way, that she doesn't know anything, and is always proving by her actions that she knows much-a happy combination that we seldom iind, So she is more than merely 'ia sweet girl. 'Rf She is a tall girlyand when she Walks she digs her heels into the floor, as she would dig at a geometry problem. Although she is one of the brightest girls in the class, it takes her quite a while to see through some things, but she sticks to it until she does it, and then she does not forget it soon. She has little self confidence, and she is always saying: I donit know anything about the lessongi' I shall not get anything on that testgi' but she is usually' able to answer all of the questions in the lesson, and gets somewhere between ninety and one-hundred in most of the tests. VVhen she gets up to recite, she must have a book or tablet in her hands, and makes it dance all over her desk. If she were as good about keeping 1'6SOllliLlOUS as she is in making them, fthey a1'e always made with good intentionsj, she Wouldibe the most studious girl in the class of 1904. But she likes pleasure too well to shut herself up in her room, spend more time than is absolutely necessary in which to prepare her lessons. For this reason one may see her having a pleasant time in the afternoon, and then, consequently, sitting up until eleven or twelve at night studying her lessons. And occasionally on the next day, she gets rather sleepy in the study hall and often dozes. First, take the girl who walked by with that heavy, determined step-- almost a stride.

That step bespoke determination, strength of Will, and purpose. These cannot exist without self confidence, and in the composition of self con- fidence there is a certain amount of egotisnn.

In this our future g1'eat man is rapidly becoming excellent, and we, one and all, take off our hats and bow as this modern Patrick Henry marches by us on the road to Fame. I if This girlls hair hangs in ringlets down her back. She is very amiable in disposition and good natured. She is sympathetic, kind and generous. Gen- tleness is one of her characteristics. '4Gentle at home and gentle to her friends is her motto. This girl is especially good in geometry, which seems to be her favorite study. She is a genius in art. She is satisfied if she has her drawing instruments and easel before her. il' Another girl attracts us on account of her neatness. She has long, back hai1', and dark brown eyes shine out from under her long, black lashes. She is always calm, self-possessed, dignified and charming. She is a lovely companion and seems to me to be a good representation of the pansy. - 519 There is one in our class. who, besides being a student, is a nat- ural born business man. This is shown by his great punctuality in being at his place of employment and the fact that he bears the title of Business Man- ager. His great ability has shown itself in the way in which he attends to his duties, and it has always been a question whether or not the good spirit of the class had something to do in directing our choice. This person has almost proved himself capable of doing anything he undertakes, especially along the line of business. This last characteristic is almost indispensible to a business man, and according to-my opinion, should this be the only characteristic of'the person, his life would be far from a failure. I think that in this boy is the foundation of a good business man, and one any community would welcome as a benefactor and helper. 4? We rarely End perfect friendship existing between brothers and sisters. lt has often been said that the man who has a true friend in a sister, is the hap- piest man living. I think that the girl or woman who has a true friend in a brother, is the most fortunate girl living. In our Senior class we have an ex- ample of this friendship. One of our boys seems to think of his sister in very much the same way that most boys think of some other boy,s sister. From his close friendship with his sister, he has obtained many qualities that a man can- not very well do Without, and that can be got only by association with women. With these traits acquired through his brotherly love, he has his own traits. He is often stubborn, and if he takes a notion to tease there is little peace with him. I-Ie does uot exert all his energies while studying his physics, but little 44, THE GLEAVI. A fault can be found with his manner of getting the hardest originals of the geom- etry. Moreover, he is rapidly becoming a famous artist, and we should not be surprised if his most famous piece of art would not be a painting of the sister with the nose that is tip-tilted like the petal of a Howerf' ae . The bee, one of the smallest insects, is a great Worker. So is one of the small girls in our class. You would scarcely expect much hard WO1'k from her, but then she is a good illustration of the old proverb, t'Precious stones are tied up in small packages? So it is with her, you cannot tell at first sight what she is. But take a little exploring tour into her disposition and you will find her much more valuable than you would suppose. Our bee, as she may be called, is always buzzing through- one job, ready to commence another. Taking her all in all, she is a first-class hand for all kinds of work, and about the busiest bee one will meet with anywhere. I gg . Another of our girls is known for her punctuality. If she were tardy she would feel that a great calamity had befallen her. Anvone who meets her on his way to school may never fear being late, for she is as good as a time- piece.. She is there in plenty of time to get her thoughts collected before the recitation begins. She is prompt in all of her duties, and if the old saying, The early bird catches the wormf, be true, she will certainly catch it. A person who is prompt in everything he undertakes is certain to succeed. So we predict for her a future crowned wi-th success. - ' 'lf This boy is a friend of justice, or at least that is 'what he seems to me. Why the does, I cannot say. Outside of our school life we know nothing of him, but, from his little actions and his expressed ideas, I have learned to think of him as a friend of justice. From his looks I know that he has noth- ing little or mean in him, and each day takes him a step higher. He shows by his face that his thoughts are mostly of a serious turn. But when he laughs. he laughs. From his quickness to smile, one must think that although he is inclined to be very serious, he can appreciate and enjoy a good joke. His dig- nitied bearing always reminds me of the old-time knights. To think of the1'e being anything ignoble in him, seems next to impossible. I admire him for the reserved and respectful manner he seems to have when with girls. He is not shy, but he does not come a step too close to any girl. His treatment of girls, and his simple little kindnesses for his sister, and his old-time courtesies make him more like whatl imagine the gallant old knights to have been. Then, to look into his face, to meet that clear, straight look from his honest, blue eyes, only makes him more like Bulwerls Earl of Warwick. If he is a knight he must have his colors and his standard. Because of his clear, blue eyes, let's THE Gl.EAH. 45 imagine his color is blue. From his bearing, his actions, and his cha1'acte1', let us say that his standard is Truth. When I think of this old-fashioned boy, I somehow think of the most beautiful yet slighted flower-the flower to which the poet of the Emerald Isle paid so high a compliment-the sunflower- the iiower of independence, beauty and constancy. V if Then comes a girl, traveling the way of life as though it were all trials and no pleasures. She is a very nervous little girl, and she knows it too Well for her own good. Such exclamations as, '4Oh, donatl you will scare me to deathf' or, Ol I canit stand it, I am so nervous, are quite familiar to her schoolmates. Although she is very sober and serious at times, especially when she is asked to answer aquestion in history which she does not know, she does get tickled at times. In fact, so much so, that it reminds us of the lines of Milton, And laughter holding both his sidesf, 'But she does not seem to enjoy it very much, for when she gets through she takes some quite long breaths, and sighs a great deal. She is very affectionate, and if she loves any- body, she loves him with her whole heart. , , Q9 When we see a certain girl in our class studying conscientiously and showing great determination in all her actions, is it not difficult to belive that a few years ago it was impossible for the same girl to be reckless, disobedient, and that one day she delighted in tormenting the teacher, by wearing 1'ims of spectacles on the end of her nose. During the last year several of her teachers have said that she has improved more than any other pupil in the class. If she happens to get a test grade that is somewhat lower than she usually gets, she generally says, HO, it makes me tired. I am glad that there is one thing Qgeometryj in which I can get fairly decent grades. When most of us are up against an original in geometry, and, as usually she is able to prove it, she Walks to the board with such an air of determination, that all the rest of the class gaze about with awe. But oh, if she happens to get stuck-none of us dare to hold up our hands. Finally, if she is not able to patch her recitation up some way, she says in a sulky way, I can't prove this thingj' and hurries to her seat at an un usually rapid rate, and pouts the rest of the period. She does not hesitate to tell her friends, if they happen to say or do something, that according to her own opinion is not exactly proper. Take paper and pencill' is a daily occurrence in the physics class. She seems to be especially fond of written lessons in physics, for one day when she had a writ- ten lesson, she said in an authoritative manner: i'How long is this going to last? After we have had a history test containing fifty questions, and some of us are trying to count up the questions that we think we got wrong, she comes along with a solemn look and says, I left out th1'ee of the questions and 46 TI'IE GLEAVI. missed forty of the others? ,lf her estimates of missed questions we1'e always exact, see would certainly deserve more pity than anyone else in the class. When she gets her grades she always looks brighter. She is very obliging and kind to everyone. She' is original in all her tastes, and in many ways is quite peculiar. She is leaving a record that she need not be ashamed of. K if She is neatly dressed, yet we all know that she is not the kind of girl Who spends much time worrying about dress or such frivolous matters. She sees the funny side of a story, and knows how to enjoy a good laugh. On the other hand she can be serious, in fact, very serious, and her countenance bea1's a 4 grave, solemn look that leads us to think that she is pondering over some of the great questions of humanity. This girl has one very peculiar characteristic called indifference by one of our teachers. Stubbornness might be too strong a term for it, yet it is something very much like it. If she is called on during recitation when she doesnlt want to 1'ecite, she can sit as though she were carved in stone, and say nothing. But when she does answer aquestion, the answer expresses so much that it shows how carefully and thoughtfully she can study. Out of school she has a bright,'happy disposi- tion and is a lovely companion in every respect. f V , I ,..,.. ,?,.,.., WI!!

Taxation by a legislative body, was the principle struggled for in England as early as 1215, and was also the principle struggled for by the Americans during the Revolutionary War. In a debate in Parliament, Burke said, 'tEngland is a na- tion, which still I hope, respects, and formerly adored her freedomf' Eng- land's freedom was established in 1689. The American ideas of government, which were based on the ideas of Puritanism, were somewhat modified by the democratic ideas of the Quakers. At the time of George III, a re-action was taking place in England. After the struggle in 1689, when the Whigs had se- cured the Protestant succession and many of the, other cherished rights, political advancement seemed to be at astandstill. The system of rep- resentation was unjust, which made it impossible for the people to have their rights. In America, things were different. The Americans were constantly advancing in ideas of government. The Americans claimed, that their legisla- tive assemblies were the only powers that could tax them justly. Parliament claimed the right to tax the Americans, for they were said to be represented by merchants, who were interested in American trade. The Americans claim- ed that representation should be according to population, and that the repre- sentatives should live in the district which they represented. The aim of George III was to break down the gfowing power of cabinet government. If he should yield to the American principle, then he would have to consent to the re'-districting of England, which would make him king only in name. The Americans were descendants of the English, and English colonies were always ready to fight for their rights, when they were infringed upon. England in- fringed upon the rights of the Americans in various ways, and refused to con- sider their petitions. These circumstances brought out the patriotic spirit and lofty sentiments of the Americans, and showed that they were willing to sacri- tice their lives for a great principle. When the Stamp Act was repealed, the Declaratory Act was passed, which gave England the right to govern in all cases whatsoever. Lord Town- send was very unfriendly toward the American colonies, and wanted them to be deprived of self-government, be united in one province, and the power to govern them given to England. When Parliament was debating about the ree 2:5 2: peal of the Stamp Act, Pitt, a friend to the American cause, said: It is impossible for a free people togovcrn a dependent people despotically, without endangering their own freedomf' He said that the Stamp Act was founded on an erroneous principle, and should therefore be repealed. In 1767, a year .i 1 'I'l'IE GLEAVI. , 53 l after the Stamp act was repealed, Townsend proposed the Townsend Acts. He did not understand the spirit of the Americans, and thought that this would be a good way to gain favor with George III, and to help pay the war debt. Townsend succeeded in getting this act passed, as it was thought to be a good Way to carry out the Declaratory Act. The Townsend Acts were: tab A tax was to be placed on lead, glass, paper, paints, etc. tbl Revenue was to be used to pay the governors and judges. tcj Those who refused to obey the acts were to be tried in Admirality Courts. tdj A special writ of assistance was declared legal. Massachusetts sent a circular letter to all of the colonies opposing these measures. Non-importation societies were formed, in which the colonists agreed to depend on their own resources, not to import any goods, and in this way injure English trade. The Americans would not obey the Townsend Actl, and the merchants of England were complaining that their trade was being ruined, so the Townsend Act was repealed. George III was determined not give up his principle, so in 1770 a bill was passed, ordering a tax on tea. Parliament thought that the Americans were penurious, and-were considering the question of money alone. At this time, the English East India Company was in a severe .financial condition owing to the wars it was compelled to wage in India, and to the heavy pay- ments it was obliged to make to its shareholders and to the 'English govern- ment. The Dutch East India company was able to undersell its rival, and the most of the tea consumed in the colonies was smuggled in from the Nether- lands. The English wanted to catch the Americans in their principle, so they lowered the taxes of the East India company to such an extent that they could furnish tea to them with the tax, cheaper than the Americans could get it from the Dutch East India company. Cargoes of tea were immediately sent to the different American ports. Boston and Charleston were the only places where the tea ships were allowed to come into the harbors. In Charleston the tea was stored in damp cellars. The people of Boston would not pay the duty on the tea, but petitioned the governor to give the commander of the ships clearance papers, so that he could take the tea hack -to England. The home laws were such at the time that a cargo must be landed in twenty days after it arrives in the port and the duties paid, or the cargo was then landed by force. The Americans were determined that the tea should not be landed, and used every possible means to prevent it from being landed, before they decided to destroy it. On the 19th day of the twenty days, Samuel Adams, at the head of a party of patriots, went into the country to ask the governor to send the ships away, but he refused. The people new held a meeting at the old South church to find out what measures could be taken to prevent the tea from being landed.- Someone in the audience said: Who knows how tea will mix with salt water?', This helped them to decide as to what action should be taken, and soon after, a few of the most patriotic men went to the harbor and dumped the 9 7 54 . THE IELEAYI. tea into the sea. The crowd that followed was so orderly and quiet, that the click of the hatchets could be distinctly heard., This action showed the ex- treme patience of the Americans. They showed that they were not the turbu- lent, riotous people that they were thought to be. The Americans tried every possible means to defend their principle according to law, and asa last resort, destroyed the tea. Fiske says that the action was a 'supreme assertion of political freedom. , r When George heard about the action that Boston had taken regarding the tea he became enraged and resolved to punish the people of Boston severely The Boston Port Bill was immediately passed. tal It took away the Massachusetts char ter Phis caused all of the colonies tothink that their charters were in danger also. tbl Closed the port of Boston.

Cdl Town meetings wer'e to be done away with. Bur ke says, 'that Governments in which everyone has a share, naturally stir a lofty sentiment into men s minds and make them have a strong reward for lib- erty Phe Q,'uebec Act was also passed. This Act annexed the territory of the Ohio valley to Canada 'lhis was an attempt of Envlands to hinder the expansion of the colonies. lhe people who settled this territory were to have no town meetings. The colonies had fought to protect their territory, and were not willing to sacrifice it. The colonies all felt that the cause of Massa- chusetts was their own which accounts for the united action which they took Gage an English commander, was sent to Boston with an -rrmy. The assem- bly for med themselves into a Provincial Congress, and governed the country about Boston.

The ideas of government, which Patrick Henry and John Otis advanced, showed that the colonists realized their rights. The problem of the relation of England, in England, to the crown and Parliament, had been solved, but the relation of England, in America, to Crown and Pfwliauleut, was practically a new problem. Had the English Constitution been placed in skillful hands, it would have been elastic enough to supply the demands, but as it was handled by people who knew nothing of the needs of the Americans, a war ensued. The Declaration of Independence represents the ideas of the different patriots, and shows that they were struggling for the one great principle. The united action on the part of all the colonists during the war, brought out their real patriotism, and made them victorious in their great struggle for a principle. V y LOUISE OWL. Stags i ffnria. :JT is an old saying, that, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so 1 we, the Seniors, decided to give a play, lest we should bocome dull. ,Of course, we realize the fact that we were not a class of geniouses, but we im- agined that we were about as smart as the average. We thought that we must select something for our play which had, a classical sound, in order to make a good impression upon the peopleg so we selected The Shakespeare Water- cure,i' never dreaming that the high sounding title of our play would ever be connected with anything so common as an ordinarv sanitariumg but, imagine our chagrin, when a small boy stepped up to one of the members of our com- pany and asked, Do you give sample b0z5tZes?,' After having suffered this humiliation in the beginning, we were made to realize that we could not estab- lish our reputation on Shakespearels name. We chose different ones to take the several parts, and also chose Miss Abrams to instruct us in the mysteries of personating, posing, etc. So well did she perform her part, that by the time she was through with us, one would think that Agnes was a real Portia, and Roderick a real Shylock. But the fun began when we went to prepare the stage for the performance of the play. But, by dint of much scheming and contriving, holeeboring and nail drivingf, finally all things were ready, that eventful night was past. and the proceeds We1'e put in the bank. The success of our lirst play was so great that we decided to give an- other. This time we thought we would lay aside the classical subjects and choose one which the public would understand and enjoy, and We had fun with it all the way through-so much, that at the last, one would think it was all 56 THE GLEAP1. fun and no Work, if they could hear the teachers scolding us about our lessons. The play that We selected this time was 'tDavid Garrick, and since the prin- cipal character was such a 'tgenius in tragedy and comedyf' We selected the boy in our class who was best fitted, as We thought, to take the part. We had noticed how natural it had been for Willie to act the part of Hamlet in the other play, so We decided on him. This time we secured the services of lVlr. Vtfalter Gentry, the professional scenic artist, to prepare our stage, so we had no trouble with it this time. Not having enough men in our class to represent the different characters in the play, We prevailed upon Mr. Henry Bundschu to take the part of Chivy, and he established a reputation as an actor in this part. There then came a time of anxiety, when .Roderick resigned his position as Mr. Jones, and our old position Mr. Lon'Gentry, consented to take the part of the unfortunate stutteror. Our practicing went oif as well as could be expected, but We learned that play acting was not all fun, for, when the event- ful day came it brought a snow storm with it, and when our company tried to get the stage properties from the depot to the school, you would have laughed to have seen some of our principal characters riding up the street With their feet dangling out of the back of a spring Wagon and their heads ducked to keep the snow out of their eyes. You would never have thought them to be the same characters when you saw them that night, all dressed up in their brilliant costumes. And when the audience sat enjoying the play, little did they think about the many trials and tribulations We had gone through to prepare them such a delightful entertainment. But our trials are all over now, and we have the money, and with it we intend to get something to place in the High School, which Will stand as a memorial to our perseverance and energy as long as that school-house stands TESSIE OWL 'Cf-7 '1 l i l x 5 l l ,l a 4 l f f S. he Z i i E , .

Whether awake or dreaming, it matters little, but the future of the members of the famous class of 1904 passes before me as a panorama. I see our dignified Maud C., after many years of preparation in the school of music, winning honor and fame in the royal Conservatory at Berlin. But the fates we1'e against Maud. She practiced so hard and constantly that she paralyzed one of her wrists. necessitating her return home. After win- ning such renown in musical circles, she naturally is not content to settle down at home. She therefore starts again, but in a diiferent atmosphere. She is now playing the role of Lady Macbeth, becoming more famous each day. I now see that on account of her love for her own town, where she has just car- ried that 1'ole as a school girl, she kindly consents to play one week at the High School Auditorium, twenty-five cents a seat, and 5 cents reserve at Sturgesl Now, Louise Nagel passes, tripping along gaily, but, alas! with a crusty fellow by her side. VVe ask, Who is that man tif he could be called suchj walking by our dainty Louise? The response is, that on her twenty-Hrst birthday she married this multi-millionaire who is now in his seventies and warranted not to live long. Just one year passed when her t'adored left this bright earth and his millions to Louise. She now is a dashing young widow with scores of admirers and every wish gratified. What grand personage is that who is walking the streets of Washington, D. C., so majestically, Wearing a silk hat, and carrying a cane? No other than Honorable Roderick Riddle, who was elected not long since to be our repre- sentative to Congress. There certainly was no one better prepared to till this position from this state, for did not he know parliamentary rules off by heart when a school boy? I now see a picture of a farm, indeed an ideal one, for everything is as neat as possible, children playing in the fields and dogs barking at the gates. But the crowning feature of this farm, or country home, is Meta, the mother of these children, and the Wife, who cheerfully welcomes home her husband, tired and weary after his hard day's work. Here Meta rules supreme. There goes Lizzie walking down the street with several little girls and boys about her, offering gifts on her altar. Lo! she is a school teacher, but what causes that happy smile that plays about her face? It looks as if she were dreaming of some other occurrence than the present one. Now a very 'St l J 4 58 'I'l'lE GLEAVI. nice young man approaches, who takes the place of the children, and who are awe-struck by this new personage. ' Lizziels thoughts have turned to earth once again, It seems strange, but all the little folks have a holiday. Nor do they seem happyg indeed, most of them are crying. I 'now see the cause. Lizzie and her' young man friend are boarding the train, on their way to Happiness. Alas! there is Eunice wearing glasses. She is studying hard among a great number of students. This school is one in which young women are taught to be trained nurses. Eunice now graduates with highest honors, and has secured a very high position in one of the tinest hospitals ffor catsl in Chicago. That dainty young lady walking the streets of London, treading her way toward one or London's best theatens, is Tessie, that is Mademoiselle Smith. She is still holding her own as 'fAda Ingot, in David Garrick.', London' society goes to see her every night and she is quite a favorite with the box-holders. She has now changed her' role to that of Portia in The Merchant of Venice She brings out all the traits of that character, which Miss Brown taught us so thoroughly in a most delightful way. - A I 1 In St Louis John holds his own aofrinst Strauss as a photographer H has an up-to-date photoofraphers studio, and oh' the money that he earns But rt rs not so much on account of the fine finish of the picture but the ex pressron he brings to the Orrls for all of hrs customers are grrlsj faces All John mrrst do rs to look at the young lady before hrm and roll those wonderful eyes, ank lol she has an expression which ber mother rs proud of one almost angelrc, but all on account of the charm ot John s eyes New er does he need say tlrook pleasant please Now passes before my ey es a prcture ot a Parrs salon rr here Gertrude R rs being rntroduced by fr famous ar trst to hrs fr rends She has just unverled a wonderful parntrno on whrch she worked two years and rt rs one that has caused more comment than any parnted before Gertrude recerr es all thrs praise rn a very modest way and now she rs respected and honored as one of the most famous ar trsts of the dar Carrie rs the mrstress of rn elegant country home She mar rred a unmrndful of her wealth She rs another Dolly 'Wrnthrope,,7 always ready to lend ber ser vrces to her neighbor rn need I am now shown into the rnterror of a dancrno hall Whole iiocl s of little girls and boys arrrvrnof, and then lVIar y I-I calls out 'Choose your part ners She rs the dancrno teacher, to whom all the nicest socrcty people of Kansas Lrty send their children She teaches them fancy dances wrth the utmost grace She has reached the top of the ladder rn her vocation, for all such dances as the Priest of Pallas ballets are now under her drrectron 77 1 . . 3 , D Y I 1 . 1 nz 1 1 1 1 H . e 1 1 .

He now joins a lady friend and they are very interested. He is society re- porter for one of St. Louis' largest papers. We are not surprised to hear such a prophesy, for in our school days he certainly showed remarkable talent in those School Notesi' which he so often gave the 'tSentinel.7' There stands oneiof the handsomest mansions on Fifth Avenue, It is is not only a beautiful home in appearance but is ruled over by one who is both beautiful in appearance and disposition. No other than Lewese McCoy, our schoolmate. She is the queen of a very happy family and the wife ofa devoted husband. She is also leader in the most select circles of New York society. I met with one of our classmates whose ambition in school days was to be a fine musician. This is Frances, who has now become a wonderful conccrt player in New York City. She holds her audiences spell-bound and receives praise from all places in the world. She is now bowing to the audience in that modest Way she had as a school girl. They will not allow he1' to leave the stage, for this is her farewell to the public. She now has retired. to her attractive home in California. Jessie is pictured as having settled down at home, with one ambition- that is, to make home happy. She also patronizes all home talent shows, such as Band concerts. Senior class plays, etc. She is to be congratulated on hav- ing remained so loyal to our dear Independence. This picture shows me the unveiling of a statute, wond1'ous in its beaut-y. The applaud of the crowd sounds as thunder, and they are shouting for the sculptor. He steps out hesitatingly before the crowd and who could 'it be but Harry Smith. He is borne about on the shoulders of men, that all the world may see who performed the wonderful work of art. He is now engaged in executing a groupe, which he will present to our beloved High school. There goes a lady with four-no five-dogs trotting after her. Her favor- ite seems to be a fox terrier, with one black and one brown eye, but she seems to love them all. Who could this be but Helen. In her school days her two ambitions we1'e to sing and have a dog farm, and from this picture it leads me to believe that she has adopted the latter. She lives- in the suburb of New York City, and her sympathies go Out to all lame and mistreated canines. All the world is a stage and all the men and women merely players. Nellie must have grown very attached to the part she played in David Garrick. That part was the old maid and ever since she has scorned all man kind, when they wished to be anything other than friends. She has many of these, and straightens out the tangles of many another's love affairs, but will have none of it he1'self. This picture shows me a very handsome building, in fact the post-office 60 'I'l1E GLEAVI. of one of our largest cities. In it I see many types of character, but one per- son stands above the others. He has such a dignified bearing. I see a slight resemblance to Willie B. Now it grows more decided, in fact I am sure it is no one else. He is Post-Master General and must make a good One, judging from the reverence with which all his inferiors look up to him. That picture has passed, Another shows me a crowd of excited girls at Emery-Birds, clamoring for a book which seems to be all the rage. The book rs entitled ' The Mysteries of Llarabelis First Love Affair written by Minnie Q lements VW ho would have thought that demure Minnie of school days had been revolving such ideas as these in her secret soul There always was a rnischievious twinkle in Minnie s eyes and her thoughts are now disclosed to public view.

No man travels long ere he passes caves with labyrinths, whose darkness even his pene- trating eyes cannot pierce, mountains, whose height he can never reach, waters whose depths he will never sound. Even in the heavens above and in the earth below there are enigmas too complex for manls brain to simplify. But of the many mysteries that are associated with this world, there is one that confronts all men: of the perplexities. the most intricate, of problems, thc most complex, and that is life itself. What is life, and how to live it is the p1'e-eminent ques- tion. . Men take different attitudes toward this awful, self-repeating question. To some it is a somniferous potion, and the oftener they drink, the more they slumber. These, upon thinking seriously, realize the might of the procession in which they move, and recognizing their own weakness, feel powerless. They forget that they have as much innate strength as their fellow-man, that each has his place in the rank and file, that each must stand upright, else he will be borne forward by the immense throng until all is engulfed by the un- fathomable sea of time. These beings merely exist. They are overwhelmed by the world without, trust not to the soul within, and hence, are inert, power- less. For these there is no aim, no purpose, no goal, therefore, no enthusiasm, no ambition, no activity. but instead, a dreamy drowsiness, that ends in a fatal sleep. Such persons, insensible to the meaning of life, deaf to the call ,of battle, blind to the glory of heights they might attain, listless to the warning of an everlasting futurity, drift, drift, drift, ever with a secret longing for their bark to be shatte1'ed. Such are those who hate life-life that to them is merely existence. There are those who have a different attitude toward life. To them, life is a mixture of pleasure and sorrow, wealth and poverty, success and defeat.- me1'ely a matter of loss and gaing and they exert themselves to extricate a large part of the best of which this mixture is constituted. So, the activity of this class is prompted by selfish ambition, and such activity is excited by an un- wholesome purpose. In short, these love life, because it means to them an opportunity for the acquiring of wealth, the gratifying of passions, the pro- longation of pleasure. Their greatest joy is a whirl-pool of intoxicating pleas- ures that is potent enough to make them oblivious to the awful reality of things. And these intoxicants, when indulged in, have the power to arouse the lower passions, thus subordinating the higher. And those, whose happi- 62 Q a THE cuim. u ness is founded upon such frailties, are themselves frail, for persistent frivoli- ties are consistent only with shallow natures, and light foundations bear only light structures. Such are they that love their life, they deaden the soul of their higher being, and live in the fluctuating passions of the lower, ever revel- ing in the feast that worldly pleasures afford. Away with such erroneous ideas of life! 'tNor love thy life nor hate, but what thou liv'st, live well, how long or short permit to Heaven. Not merely exist, but breathe the spirit of enthusiasm, determination, purpose,- purpose high, unswerving, and you breathe indeed! Such a spirit will invigj orate and sustain you even in the darkest hour. Enthusiasm, the most potent of elixirs, creates the desire to act, determination, the will to act, and purpose, the guide that directs and sustains the act. What obstacle can withstand these th1'ee cooperated? Then have them for your weapons, you will need them in the battle of life. And never sheathe such swords, but use them in the strife. Procrastination is the thief of timef' and it will steal on you unavvares, and find your weapons rusty,-you, inert. Inert! never! ' In the world's broad field of'battle In the bivouac of Life Be not like dumb, driven cattle! . Be a hero in the strife! Trust not the Future, how'er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! , Act, act in the living Present? ' Each moment is a priceless opportunity that will never present itself again. Then live! Live every moment of your life! Time must not devour us ere the attainable is attained, e1'e the heights are reached, the purpose achieved, the battle won! Let us, then, be up and doing, with a heart for any fate, wave thy banner, grasp with an iron hand thy pilgrim's staff and . 5 speed to reach the heights, ere the setting sun. '4On, on across the plains and feel no dread! Where not the boldest hath trod down a path, which thou mayest safely tread. Make for thyself a path!! And be not discouraged, for Uwe must go alonef' But where'er the path, what'er the aim, live truly, for l Thou must he true to thyself , If thou the truth wculd'st teach. ' Thy soul must over flow, if thou Another soul would'st reach. It needs the overflowing heart, To give the lips full speech. Think truly, and thy thought Shall the world's famine feed. - Speak truly, and thy word Shall be a fruitful seed. Live truly, and thy life shall be A great and noble creed? THE GLEAVI. 63 What other injunction can there be? Every thought reverts to my theme-Zioef. I would that 1 could uloudly sweep the stringfl but I can say no more than LIVE!! But this sufhceth. That one word has untold meaning, to the soul it thunders, speaks volumes, ,tis the greatest of battle cries, the highest standard of noble hearts-the motto of every true Christion soul. 'iBut what thou livest live well, how long or short permit to Heavenf' He that lives truly has no fear of death, who does his best in the allotted time, can do no more. Then, conscious of the awful speed of time, and realizing that one tense struggle must be made, listen to the myriad-choir that urges thee on, rise true soul in all thy strength, and-live! livel- , So live, that when thysummons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves , To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

While these arguments raged there was one class, however, among the American people which would have none of them, and that class was composed of the college and university men. With them it was a personal matter, for out of their ranks the missionaries had been recruited. Each remembe1'ed Harry or Ned, as the case may be, who pulled stroke on W8 or sang on theglee club in '80, and as to their having incited rebellion-well, the supposition was absurd on the face of it-they dis- missed it indignantly. And their allegiance fell to their old comrades rather than to any abstractions not simply because they were comrades, but because they were such at the same school. Their loyrlty to their alma mater was mixed in the matter and they chose immediately and unquestionably. That choice was but one manifestation of a force that is very powerful in our country-more powerful than a casual glance would lead us to imagine- the loyalty of a graduate to a school, the loyalty of a body of alumni to each other, and the desire to keep unsullied the ideals formed in the past for each member of that alumni.

INCE the HGLEAMW is a memoir of our school days, it would, by no means, be complete unless it mentioned our teachers. because our school days' would be absolutely nothing without them. Every one of our teachers seems to realize what a high calling is his- how much of responsibility is placed upon him-how many lives he is influ- encing, directing and moulding: What they do, does not savor of 'cworkfi but it seems to be a part of them. We go first to Miss Phelps. She has such broad and great ideas of his- tory. We all remember how, when we had finished our study of English his- tory, we felt as if wc had studied a history of the whole globe. Next, to Prof. Bryant. The great teacher is the simple one. Prof. B. has all his knowledge ground down to simplicity, and also has it pigeon- holed, so that on the slightest provocation he can give one yard of knowledge condensed to inches. And so one never comes out of his Latin class feeling that he has gained nothing but the translation of his lesson. Miss Manserls low, sweet voice tells of the patient, gentle disposition beneath it. She also has enthusiasm combined with her patience. Miss McDonald, -being the mathematics teacher, has less opportunity than any of the others to influence us, but, nevertheless, by her very strength she has won a place in our hearts. She is always equal to the occasion. Although in the class-room she has a mathematical bearing, outside, she is as congenial as one could wish. - Lastly, we go to Miss Brown. She has traversed again and again the great, broad Held of literature and knows all its beautiful spots. She has taken us by the hand and led us through that field, showing us by the way every beautiful flower, every stream, every green knoll, 6V61'y majestic hill and Wood, and has given us a desire to familiarize ourselves with them. All her teaching leads to the one high aim-inspiration to higher ideals of living. V We feel that we have had in our 'teachers opportunities not adorded to many other boys and girls. Uhr ilnmnra. ' ERETOFORE it has been the custom of the Senio1's to tell of the broth- ig erly lovel' existing between the Juniors and Seniors. Butwwe are going to be really honest and admit that the classes have been alittle huf:Ty. There seems to be an innate idea in all Junior classes Qwe speak from experiencej that the Seniors are stuck up,,' and no matter what the Seniors do, the action , Tl'lEgCilEAVl. 69 seems to them to Ht right on this idea. The Junior's ideal Senior is nothing more or less than the negative ofthe real Senio1'. By the way, there are some of those ideals on record, and the Junior thought he had a great opportunity for wrecking vengeance in the recording of these ideals, but we wonder if he remembered that he was making a standard by which he was to be judged. We are so glad that we were not given such an oppo1'tunity. But we feel that a kindly spirit is growing and that there will be a happy reconciliation jwhen we leavej. .7-Xrknnhilizhgvmenia. HILE studying English History in our Junior year, -we learned much about the power of the merchant class. In our Senior year, we are again impress by the power of this class-and in this case the impression comes from a nearer source than from history. If the Senior did not feel that this merchant class of Independence was willing to help them, they would never attempt anything ,in which money is involved. And if nothing was attempted, look at what a loss of developement there would be in the Senior class. If we did not have the merchant class to back us, after the buying of our class pins, etc., all class association would have to stop. Many of us owe our greatest development to the fact that we can give plays, we can publish THE GLEAM, we cam leave something in our school building as a sort of monument. And why can we? We can, because we know that the business men of this town are Willing to help us. We also know that we owe our High School building to these men, but we shall not try to thank them for that which we know we are not able to fully appreciate. In this instance, we, as Seniors, wish to thank them for the many favors shown to us this year. Another kind of thanks we feel we owe to our teachers, the Juniors and the Sophomores who have tried, and who have succeeded in making our last year a pleasant one.

Those who don't study should stop buying school books thereby reducing the price. If they would do this they might win fame, at least, by becoming school book Hbearsv on Wall Street. We should commence to have great intellectual lights in future grad- uates since there are now so many brain foods. If you do not know which one is best try a small amount of each every day.

People with no hair might try a hair restorer. Not one though, that grows hair over night. People With wigs have suffered much at the hands of humorists. It seems that the people who never wear wigs should trust no longer to inventors but bring about their own salvation. PAPA OWL. Uhr Stuhg nf Ignrirg. f iw! A ' - ' I FIRST PRIZE ESSAY. What is higher beyond thought than thee? Fresher than berries of a mountain tree? More strange, more beautiful, more smooth, more regal, Than wings of swans, than doves, than dim-seen eagle? What is it, and to what shall 1 compare it? It has a glory, andnaught else can share itg r The thought thereof is awful, sweet and holy, Chasing away all worldliness and folly, Coming sometimes like fearful claps of thunder, Or the low rumblings earth's regions under, And sometimes like agentle whispering Of all the secrets of some wondrous thing That breathes about us in the vacant air: So that we look around with prying stare. Perhaps to see shapes of light, aerial limning, And catch soft floatings from a faint-heard hymningg To see the laurel wreath on high suspended, That is to crown our name when life is ended. Sometimes it gives a glory to the voice, And from the heart upsprings, reioiwl rejoice! Sounds which will reach the Framer of all things, And die away in ardent mutterin2fS-U No one who once the glorious sun has seen, And all the clouds, and felt his bosom clean For his great Maker's presence, but must know What 'tis I mean and feel his being glow: Therefore no insult will I give his spirit, By telling what he sees from native merit? , Poesy! Poesy, the first of the arts. This seems a broad statement, when one considers that great world of iine arts. But let this verdict ofa scholarly jury stand: for poetry ,proves worthy of the position assigned it by the world-critics. Then, poetry is the first of the arts, first, because of its iniinitude. Its depth is beyond the comprehension of linite minds, a conse- quence natural enough, for every poem is a soul-birth, and no man knows the inmost soul of another. A soul-birth, inspiration from heaven itself, product of holy thoughts, the breath of God in man, then, truly infinite is a poem. And this infinitudei and sacredness men realize when they say '4Milton almost requires a service of solemn music to be played before you enter upon him. And such is the feeling of the student toward all real poetry, there must be a preparation of mind and heart before he attempts to reach the poet's THE GUEAVI. 79 thought. Hence, because of its depth and its holy birth, the student con- siders poetry inhnite. Then, poetry combines other arts, the poet 'is musician and artist. The poet, as the musician, composes, preludcs, fantasias, hymnals, and uses phrasing, accents, pauses, staccatos, together with all the innumerable devices that con- stitute music. His theme is a soul-theme, his motto and music, the soul's ac- companiment to holy thoughts. So, poetry, sweet in sound, harmonious in depth and feeling, grand, though inspiring, becomes to the student part of the worldls best music. ' The poet is also artist, 'teveryy great poem is a gallery of picturesf' The poet paints with words, and by his scheme of Word-coloring, impresses upon the mind the pictures that no artist could portray or canvas. What the poet can paint to the imagination in one word,-for that, the painter must use dozens of shades and tints. And the great poetis pictures are real, perfect,+ portraying to us nature in her natural colors. 'Poetry lifts the vcil from the hidden beauty of the world? What seemed commonplace, to the poet's touch becomes beautiful, even bare trees and desert wastes have in themselves a peculiar charm. And what for us has always had charm, the poet makes more charming. Through the poet, always a seer, we see nature more clearly, the world of nature becomes a greater world than We had ever thought. Thus, the poet becomes a great artist, whose work of art, when impressed upon the minds of the World's students, becomes a masterpiece that will exist after fine paintings and statues have crumbled in the dust. Every great poem is a fountain forever Hovving with the waters of Wisdom and delight. The poet sees into the inmost heart of man and of nature, so, by reading his poetry, We gain a wisdom, in Which, otherwise, We Would be deficient,-a wisdom that removes prejudice, narrowness, nearsight- edness, and places us upon the mountain tops, where We view the world in all its immensity, reality-the world as it is. The more of this wisdom we drink, the more fully We realize what nature is, what man is, what life is, and we learn to live. Thus, poetry achieves its greatest purpose-uplift, moral and spiritual. ' And here the singer for his Art, r Not all in vain may plead, The song that nerves a nation's heart Is in itself a deed? Poems have influenced nations, thrilled multitudes of souls. Think of the lives that owe themselves to poets, the great World-truth, graven upon the heart by a poet's sweet and thrilling song becomes a motto, and the lite found- ed upon that motto is the outgrowth of the poet's influence. In this manner, ages and nations have been swayed by the world's poet1'y, thousands have re- sponded to the songs of Milton, Tennyson, Keats,-and our own Longfellow and Whittier responded-not merely by thrills of delight and voices of praise, 80 THE GLEAVI. but by thinking, feeling, living. Thus, the inspired poet becomes a powerful agent for the good, the beautiful, the true,--a message for God himself. Then, every great poem has a message that we should hold sacred, and the more we study each poem, the more clearly we see and interpret the message. Further investigation and study will awaken us to the fact that true poems contain many messages, many sermons, many mottos, and all these are guide-posts and foundations for true living. So, poetry to the student becomes the lirst of the artsg it is music and art in their highest formsg the offspring of genius, the embodiment of the 'beautiful and the true, the voice of God in man. All this, and more, is poetry. To study it is to have the mind filled with earth's sweetest songs and loveliest of pictures, to know nature in all her gloryg to love all that is good, to become a soul reaching out in all its strength toward the pure, and all the while feeling the presence of hthat power that iioats, though unseen, amongst us. , FRANCES OWL. ffl!!!

HEN a man is getting ready to build a house, the first thing that he looks after is the foundation. If he wants a good strong building he knows that he must have a firm foundation to begin with. He is careful about the kind of stones he uses, and he is sure that the mason that he has hired is a good one. In your own building you are your own mason, so you have all your time for the selection of thc stones. Youlhave no building? lf you say that you have another name for that which I call your building. No matter how poor or humble you are, you have a building to build, no matter how helpless you thinkyourself, you have to build your own building. Your whole life is given to the building of it. but like many, you do not know that you are really building, therefore you are to be piticd for the blind way in which you select the stones that will have to stay just where you put them, forever. One of the faults that can be found with many buildings, is that the foun- dation is not firm. The placing as well as the selection of the stones. plays a very important part in the strength of the foundation. Every one is not able to lay stones so they will stay in place, no matter what goes on around them. Yesterday while driving, my attention was called to a stone wall that had been built, with its foundation on the ground and not in it, before the war. My friend told me that many thought that the wall would not stand long because of its construction. Yet, the wall is still standing, and for most parts it looks as firm as if it was just built. It is evident that the man who built the wall understood his art, he realized that he was building, and as he was building he built more for strength and durability than for beauty. The stones that he used are ordinary stones. and he made an uncommon wall out of common material. We have another instance of what can be built out of common material. It is the Constitution of the United States. The foundation stones of this magnificent piece of work are thoughts, advanced by Englishmen years ago, and thoughts that have been used by these Englishmen for yea1's. You have to admit that the foundation of the constitution is firm, even if the material is very ordinary. Our Constitution is the foundation of our government and if you realize how firm our government is, you must see that the foundation of its foundatian, although common thoughts, must be unusually firm. So, in building your foundation, do not waste any time in looking around for uncommon stones. Take the common stones that have been used THE GLEAYI by many and th rt have been known fr'o.n the beginning ot time. The stones on which you build should be stones that have been tested by experts, stones that have been used for ve rr yet are ever ready for use. Lonstant dripping may wear away tone, but you will have a firm foundation if you t rke the old- est known stones to build with. Arnongr the oldest and beyond a doubt, one of the best -tones that you can use, is Truth. V , This stone has been handled by many, but few have been able to have it in the end. It is not hard to say that you are goinqf to have it, but when it comes to putting it in place you m ry tind it too heavy for you. It has never seemed asm rll stone but when you try to get it you find that it does not, can- not, look ns bifr as it re rlly is Many buildinpfs are without this stone because much ot the brrildino' is ,done by the younv builder rnd he is not alw rys able to lift this huve stone, and he doeS not realize its value enorrffh to work to get it. If in later years the builder is Qfivcrr a ch ruce to remodel his foundation, he is not willinv to let it Q0 avain without Truth.

A' you are going to have Tenderness somewhere in the foundation, why not put it near Friendship? Fiiendship needs llendeiness and lfenderness needs Friendship. No man can be a true friend if he does not have tenderdess in his building No more is he able to peifoim many good deeds, or use his Ofood influ- ences where tendeiness alone can be used if tendei ness is not in his foundation If you have evei met a person who has no tenderness in his structure, you would not hesitate about putting it in with the stones of your foundation. Along in this neighborhood you should put Loyalty You musl place it close to Friendship, just to uphold Friendship if it were inelined to fall. Let us build up ft little around the first stones placed To stand at all you must have Independence and Self-reliance in your foundation No man is as independent O1 self- reliant as he should be. fhese two are necessary for the strength and durability of your building. Put them wneie there will be a constant pressure on them. They are the best able to beai all thetrouble, and as they can they should be Given their shale. If they can not do so much alone help them by putting Determination and Will near by them All of these stones should be wheie they can be in constant use l'he'more they tre used the better it is for them and for the foundation These stones are beautiful as well as ieiy strong and they will not spoil the looks of your building if they ale seen-but they are bettei hidden. They work just as well in the dtrk as in the light. Put them where they will not be seen, thus leaving space for the stones that add to beauty, but are not able to bear much pressure. These and many more stones of the same kind do you need for your foundation. And after you have picked the best and most common stones for your foundation, put them in place so skillfully as did the man who built the Wall before the Civil War, or as skillfully as did the men who framed our Con- stitution after the great VVar of this country. Put them so if a fewado fall out of place the others will not be hurt by the fall, and your foundation will be as firm as the old wall that has lost a few of its stones. With your foundation completed you are thinking of your corner stone. What shall it be? Why not make it of the stones of Faith, Hope, and Charity or Love? 1 AGNES OWL. 1 83 1 1 1 ' , S 1 1 Y , , V 1 c D, 1 1 1 , 1. 1 D ' 0 1 1 , 1 v :R 1 1 1 1 1. n w ' ' ' 1 .1 1 C 1.. 1 f- 1 1 ' 1 1 1 1 l 1 1 .1 1 1 ' 1 5 1 1 5 1.

But oh, how dear thou hast grown to us in that time! How much thou hast taught us! But now the time has come when we must bid thee an everlasting farewell. Thine was a great and good soul and thou didst ever have that greatness. Thou didst seem small, but thou hadst a door that opened out into the great spacious auditorium. This fact made us ask ourselves, Has our soul a great spacious outlet, or is it the nar1'ow thing it seemstv Thy beautiful stained glass window must change all light to a soft, mellow and beautiful tint before thou wouldst let it ente1'. Again we must ask ourselves, Do we change all outward influences to beauty before we allow them to enter our souls? On thy wall is the great fire hose to protect thee against the all consuming tlames. Once more we ask, Are our souls so protected-secure against an everlasting Hams? Thy nature was so tender that at times our loud tones became unendurable to thee. Thou didst not tattle and gossip about it Kas small souls doj but thou didst quietly car1'y those tones 'along the walls to the ears of Prof. Bryant and thus cause him to put an end to our racket. We hated thee for it then, for we misunderstood thy purpose, Qso many great souls are misunderstoodlj but now we love thee for it, for we see that thou didst do it for our good. We must say farewell to thee, but thy 'influence will remain with us forever. The time is at hand when we must part. Must we say the awful word? Never! VVe will part in silence too deep for words. ' - En Cmnt Sviuhin. Fare thee well, O studio! The final moment has arrived when the mem- bers of the Senior class must bid thee au revoir. Many are the happy moments We have passed within thy white gleaming walls. Many a time have we emerged from 'thy enclosures, grimy with charcoal, to wipe away the stains of labor. Many a cake of Miss Henryis ivory soap have we washed up in a vain endeavor to 1'emove the charcoal. No more shall we. enter thy walls sanctified by the presence of our beloved art teacher. No more shall we be greeted by her beaming smile. O, ye powers! What inspiration to sit back in one of those comfortable studio chairs and, with pencil poised in air, gaze into the sculptured faces of such men as Christopher Columbus, .or Julius Caeser. Perseverence and determination such as these men posessed, is just what the young aspiring artist needs. What a boon to have these moral lessons constantly before one. But alas! no more will we be stared out of countenance by busts of men who THE GLEAYI. 85 are dead and gone. No more shall we march conidently into the studio and seat ourselves before the spider-legged easles. N03 that is a thing of the past. But shall we be remembered? Oan we be forgotten! A man may die, but his good work lives after him. So it is with us. No doubt we will serve as models to the following generation in promptness, accuracy and general behavior. O ye refractory pupils of the lower classes, who throw things at one another and spill charcoal dust on the spotless floor! Take heed of the noble example set you by the Senior Class of 1901, and mend your ways. The time is drawing to a close, so once more, farewell old studio. We leave you to the mercy of those who come after us. 'Twas he1'e we took our first steps along the thorny road of art! QPerhaps the place may be of interest to the future generation on that accountj. We part from thee with regret. We will always remember thee with tenderreverence and will think of thee with pleasure.

If anyone have any reason why this should not be done, let him speak now or henceforth keep silent forever and three days afterward. This is a sad and solemn duty, but We owe it to the world lest, after our departure from this sphere of school life, strife and dissentions should arise concerning the disposition of our worldly goods. As vouchers for our good intentions in this matter We are able to point you to Alladin, Baron Mun- chausen or Gulliver, all good men and true. If you doubt us hold a consulta- tion with one of them. . If any one shall attempt to break this will-and it will break easily for' you can see now that it is already somewhat cracked-he shall be obliged to change thirty lines of Virgil into English poetry, to give a written proof of Axiom I., to undergo one of Miss Manser's tests, to prepare a debate on each side of the race question and to Write an essay on 'tlndividualitvfi Our idea in requesting this is ffrom experiencej that whoever meets these requirements will find himself in a condition unable to reap the beneht of breaking it. Y g ' ITEM. We give and bequeath to the Freshmen, 1. Our experience fwhich, if made use of, will doubtless benefit them greatlyj 2. All the unsold tickets to David Garrick Qwhich will not.j 3. Our credit at the dry goods stores flikewise of no valuej, and 4. Our tenderest pity and deepest sympathy which is theirs by right for We've been Freshmen ourselves. ITEM. We give and bequeath to the Sophmores. 1. Some kind of thing which the Sentinel called historic talent fwe think its some kind of ability, but we are not sure. Butif it has any reference to history, We are sure that it doesnhf mean ability.j 2. Our presence of mind upon every occasion 92 'I'I'lE IELEAVI. Qespecially in Physics classl and 3. Any foot prints left behind us in the sand of time tproviding they profit by them.l , ITEM. t We give and bequeath to the Juniors. ' 1. Our staff room Qleft to us by our illustrations predecessorsfij 2. Twenty two cents 6.22, in cash tto be used for anything but endowing a college or starting a peanut factory.j 3. Every bit of spare paper they can get tthey will need 'it all in the science roomj -1. The freedom of the upper and lower halls during the noon hom-1 fwhich we have ourselves secured with greatest ditlicultyj 5. Our business ability Qshould we have anyleftl and 6. The right to the title of the greatest, the smartest and the most noted class falways excepting, of course, the class of 19049 that ever passed from this temple of learning. We bequeath to them all the aspirations we have failed to make use of, and a few of Miss Brown's ideas. We would have more of these ideas if it had not been that we had des- troyed all but a few of them during the past year.. We have .then the study of McCaulay's essay on,Milton, in which the1'e is just about as much nourish- ment as there is in a package of breakfast food. Finally, we leave them all the main points in American History, they are in good conditions and we have got very few of them, as Miss Phelps will testify. , R ITEM. h We give and bequeath to our teachers, 1. Any-inspiration they may have derived from presence and association. 2. Our high mo1'al standard. QWe never cheat unless it is absolutely necessary, never tell ailie without some occasion-or at least an inclination, are honest with every one so long as it C 'does not interfere with ourselves, and we 'look the whole world in the face, for we owe not any manvj-3. VVe bequeath our winning way and the grace- fulness which is the charm of youth, and 4. The tender memory for us that must ofpnecessity linger with them through life and comfort their declining days. For ourselves, we keep our ambitions and our hopes, and strive. to keep our reputation, our honor and our good looks, likewise what little knowledge we have accidently retained from our High School course. Our debts we pay, this it ,hurts us to do, and we leave behind us a record which is not for us, butqfor future histo1'y to note in full. And last, there will ever linger with us a fond recollection of our High School days. With a purpose of having carried out, this, our last will and testament, we hereby appoint as executors Cdo not confound this word with executioners,j J. G. Paxton, J. A.

' A most attractive display of the Shirt Waist 7 Suits which are sure to' be so popular. No matter where you go, if your vacation be spent at the sea-shore or at home? there's nothing you can find that's so coil, comfortable, and at the same time so very stylish, as the Shirt Waist Suits. There are suitsof Linen, Pongee, Canvas cloth, Chambray, Lawn and Gingham in the daintiest styles you've seen. There is an exclusivcness about these Suits that one seldom 'finds in 'e shop garment. Then, there are the WAISTS in a profusion of styles- Vdozens and dozens of themfeach seemingly vieing with its neighbor for supremacy. The styles are smarter than ever. Even the lovier-priced Waists seemed to have a more retined style-touch than in former yearsgand the more elaborate models and lace effects-they are almost beyond description. Many are direct copies of IMPORTED MoDELs, worth a half dozen times our price on the same style only turned out by the Clever Home Manufacturer. Our Clothing store is at itst, ready to serve ' promptly and accurately. The Summer and Outing Suits and Odd 'Trousers are piled high on great long tables. You know we anticipated a big business and bought a larger stock than this store has ever carried. On account of the backward season sales were slowg re- su1tis,, we are overstocked and prices have been made withouta single thought of cost. '- Everything offered is new and up-to- ' 7 date in every way-well made and splendidly tailored. Your tailor can not give you as good a garment at twice the price as this sale affords. Visit the third floor when next in the store. You will be more than repaid. 60. B, Peck Dry lG00dS 0,, si.
