I-I. S. I The year IQO2 certainly marks an era in the history of our High School. Our class, as you will soon see, has performed many great services for the Independence High School.

And Madge, Who, we areisorry to say, left us the next year, described a herd of sheep as going chirping across the field. p So you can see that we.were a very bright and orig- inal class, even when we were Freshies. p CHAPTER II. - When we assembled the next year some were missing, but we still had a large class-at least, enough to be no- ticed. , From the very first our class had promised to be one of great spirit. It had been the custom of previous classses to organize in either their junior or Senior year. But we decided that it would be perfectly splendid to-organize while Sophs. Andwe did! I guess none of us will ever forget our first class meeting. Alec was chosen chief and Kirby Casebolt, who graduated in the class of '05 with honors, was elected Vice-President. Now, our class was not satisfied with carrying out one new idea, so we determined to give a play. This was certainly an original idea, for Qheretofore, all such pastimes had been reserved for the Seniors. However, we suc- ceeded in giving one, on condition that we give it free in the afternoon. Finally we decided to give ,a matinee', in honor of the Seniors. After just a few disagreements we decided to give 'fStriking Oil. All rehearsals except one were carried on without an instructor. We were deter- . ,,. ,f mined to make it'a success and we worked hard:'1rWe'had a large audience and we held them spellbound. It was a grand success. One of the teachers told us we would have our heads turned' by the praise that was showered upon us. Well, if we did, they were certainly turned back the next day, when all the actors failed in class. But for at that, Striking Oil was one of the best plays ever given in old I. H. S. ' ' Among other things we did in our Sophomore year, was to gain a reputation for being a class of extraordinary brilliancyf CHAPTER III. At last our class put on the dignity of juniors. After our experiences in, our Freshman and Sophomore year, we felt that we were an older and aiwise class. In our junior year we established our reputation for brightness. The teachers sang our praises so loudly that the Seniors f'05j actually turned green with envy. We also distin- guished, or rather extinguished, ourselves in debates in the history class: But we did not study all the time. In the spring wwe had a picnic. Oh, what a day for our class! I am sure none of uswill ever forget it. As the last days of school drew near, we turned our thoughts to- that magnificent affair-the Junior Reception! Oh, how we planned and worked and disagreed! But we gave the Seniors the best reception that any class has X I .3--1 - - Georgia Erwin. Julia, Rugg. Eva. Hea d. Bessie Milton. Bertha. Steele.

Z perhaps taken some time from our studies but it has cer tainly been a pleasure .to us, and we feel that the time it has taken is not wasted. We will always keep a Gleam as a memoir of our school days and our school friends., As soon as we have finished our Gleam work we will turn our attention to Commencement. Oh, how much it means to us, and soon we will be preparing for it! Our class has always 'taken part in the new movements in our school. We are now about to start a new custom. We are to have a Class day. It is with great pleasure that we look forward to it, and we are doing our best to make it a success. Our class is about to leave. Our record is made, and it is now beyond our power to change it. Still, though it is not perfect, we are verytproud of it. Of course, we LOOKING BACKVYARD IN 1926.

Alas, alas, Vida has come to be A teacher of solid geometry, ' Here, there and everywhere may be seen, The popular, Sister Lucy's Magazine, But William, early drifted out 'west Where he owns a ranch, Uncle Bills Rest, And Morton went to the busy east Where he became rich to say the least. Bertha journeyed back once more, To her native state, of the golden ore, Where she teaches the science of song, Labors incessantly and long. Spurgeon wen-t to a 'Varsity far away, And now he is Bishop of Ballarat 5 Allie vowed she'd be an old maid, But that air castle sure did fade, For she, too, has changed her name, Edna has forged 'her way to fame, She left her home for dear old France, ' She learned to paint in the home of the dance, But she returned to Missouri once more, Preceded by honors and fame galore. And Jessie, too, to fame did climb, The greatest musician of her time.

Q She writes for many a magazine, Such as Sister Lucy's and The Gleamf' Georgia, too, became a bride, One man's treasure, one man's pride. Nellie eloped with an English prince, And hasn't been seen or heard of since, And Margaret's book's are all the rage, Read by people of every age. But Eva left to return again After catching one of -the richest of men. , Sybil, too, has made her mark in life, In busy, strenuous, commercial strife, And O-tto switched from prose to verse, But found he had gone from bad to worse.

Some years ago it was the custom of the school to have a program every Friday afternoon-this custom has been revived and remodeled. Instead of having one enter- tainment a week, twenty minutes every morning are now devoted to this progressive movement. The primary object of this is to enable the pupils to stand up before an audience without the usual fear and trembling? Although the students themselves give the programs, we are al-ways glad to be addressed by a citizen or any one, who by travel or experience, is enabled to give us an interesting and beneficial talk. Am-ong the most interesting addresses of this kind were those of Mr. Prewitt, city mayor, Dr. Linn of Kansas City, and the Rev. Mr. Campbell. Mr. Hardin's description of the battle of Gettysburgg and Miss Hope'Stonerbs violin music were also greatly appreciated by the school. ,The pupils, also, have done some ood work on the programs. The dumbbell drill by the Sophs, scenes from Shakespeare by the Juniors and Seniors and the music and readings of different pupils have been greatly en- joyedj p May the pupils of our school never cease to have these morning programs. They are a good beginning for the day, and the meeting together of the Whole rv' - , i,z.,,pI: - f . , i ..er, 1sp-iig... ii ....... -iii .... MII- H i A E ., I ... ... . THE GLEAM.

I , In other Ways, too, our school has developed. This year the boys organized 'a cadet corps. What high school is complete without one? None, surely. Our boys were quick to see this and after much planning and plotting, suc.ceeded in organizing a corps of thirty-tvvo members. The cadets are getting on beautifully, and We are proud of them. 4 I Afhleties. - We have yetlto see the body of boys 'and girls who are not interested in athletics. Our' pupils are no excep- tion to the rule, and although We have no gymnasium We have tried to do something in athletics this year. The boys played football and basket ball an havenovv or- ganized a track team. The girls also have an athletic association for basket ball and tennis. a In addition, We boast -of a dumbbell club. I But what can we hope to accomplish in athletic With- out a gymnasium or an athletic field? Although We have the material in our school, Without a coach and a gym- nasium, We will never be able to make the record that we ought to make-that We are able to make. It was the hope of the Senior class to get a gymnasium for our school. We found this impossible, but We have at least kept the ball rolling. Why can't we have a gymnasium? Are the people of Independence too poverty-stricken? No! It's not the money they lack, it's the spirit. Independence, wake u ! No high school as large as ours should be Without physical culture. Let this be the last year that the pupils of our school shall 'be so handicapped. Give them a Gymnasium and you will soon see that the money in- vested therein is not Wasted. 1 Schlnile.

Inithe first years of navigation on Western waters, says the author of Early Steamboat Navigation on the Missouri River, pilots were forced to use all sorts of signals and marks to decide their courses. One had a custom of running a certain crossing, if he came to it at night, by the aid of a dog.' - , f 1 The animal 'belonged to a family'liviing,in a house at the foot of the crossing, irectly in thecourse of the bend. Whenexfer a boat was coming this dog ran ont to the bank, always exactly the same place, which was in line with th-e channel, and barked his loudest. The pilot 'rantoward the sound of the barking with the ut-A most confidence. ' p 7 Unhappily, the dog one night took a notion to change hisnstand, and barked a little higher up. The nextmorn- ing the boat was a hopeless wreck on a sand bar, into which the pilot had run at full speed. Made the Bear VY9rk. Bill Wineters, of whom the Boston Herald tells, is one of the heroes who uses his wit to save his strength. During a camping trip in the Maine woods Bill was easily the laziest man in the party. Finally his exasper- ated comrades told him that if he did not kill something besi es time they woul-d pack him off home. , The next morning Bill borrowed a rifle and went off up the mountain. Two hours later the men in camp saw Bill' running down again as fast as he could come, and close behind him was a bear. The men watched the chase with loaded rifles ready. On reaching. camp Bill turned and shot the bear. When the men could stop laughing, one of them said: Bill, what on earth possessed you to run that diistance, with the bear so close, when youmight have killed him on the hilfl and saved your breath ? ill smiled slowly.

The sun shone brightly, the little birds twittere as they flew here and 'there among the budding branches, and the flowers nodded gracefully to each other rin the balmy spring breeze. As I looked through the open window and noticed these songs of Spring, the thought came to me that I would enjoy a walk in the country. So, taking a book I had been reading with me, I started out toward a woods which could be seen in the distance. ' At length I reached the woods, and, after walking through it for some time, sat down to rest by the side of a little brook whose clear, sparkling waters leaped joy- ously over smooth stones and many pebbles and raced noiselessly on into the depths of the forest. The spot where I had stoppe to rest was a very picturesque one, with its bright brook and its delicate, sweet-scented wild flowers which nestled at the bases of tall spruce, hem- lock, pine and ce ar trees. After resting there for some time I opened my book and began to read of the ancient Druids and their wor- ship in the grand old English forests, when suddenly a mist seemed to steal over the pages and I heard a soft: voice saying, Snowd.rop, i and one answering, Violet, I was wondering who this could be, when I heard one of the sweetflow voices continue: Oh, Snovvdrop, I ' ' XJNJY ll .. .. ' .. ' ' am so glad th-at you have come to live beside me because I am so sad and lonely. Not very long ago there lived around me many 'of my sisters and brothers and I. was happy, but one sad day some children came to our beautiful home, and whenthey went away they took with them all of my ,companions and 'left me here alone in this great fo-rest. Oh, how I wish the children had not overlooked me, but had taken me with my brothers and sisters! - , It is very lonely when the birds cease their twitter- ings and the squirrels their friskings 3 wh-en the last rays of the setting sun creep out of the forest, when the dark evening shadows begin to gather slowly and silently and the night comes on. On many of these nights I look up through th-e branches of the great, tall trees and watch the twinkling stars come out, one by one, in the ,dark blue sky, and I know by the light on the tops ofthe trees that the moon is rising in all her splendor and will soon be casting her mellow light on the waters of the brook, whose voice seems to sing to a more subdued murmur as the night falls. It is on these nights, too, when the soft breezes stir through the branches of the rugged old trees, and the pine trees sing their Wonderful songs. The pine tree, at whose base we live, must be very old, for, if you will lis- ten some night, you will hear ofthe days When the In- 'dians still r amed th-isffo-rest and hunted thedeer and K Q - THE GLEAM. ' 41 the bear. All these things make m-every lonely and I long for my former companions.. I am always glad when the morning comes, when the nrst sunbeams struggle back into the woods and the birds and squirrels awake again. , Still, I am not happy, and,.though I am glad you are near me, Snowdrop, yet, you are not like one of my own kind, and I cannot help wish-ing again that I had not been overlooked that day by the children. U The low voice ceased speaking and with a start I looked around me. I had not realized that it was so late. The long, glinting rays of the late afternoon sun still shone through the openings among the trees on the bor- der of the woods, awhile, already farther back in the depths the early ,evening shadows had begun to gather. I closed by book, arose from my resting place, and brushed from my clothes the long, fragrant brown pine needles which come from the great tree against which I had been leaning. As I did so, I noticed not far from me a small, lone wood violet, and knew that it then was the one to whose sad story I had been listening. I felt sorry for the poor little flower, and when I left I took it with me and planted it among my choicest garden flowers, hoping that there it might findlhhappiness. One morning, not long after my visit to the forest, I thought of the little violet which I had brought with me and wondered if it were less lonely among' its new companions. Thinking of this I' walked slowly down the garden path toward the spot 'where I had planted it, and there, in the midst of all the many and gay-colored flowers, with the bright rays of the early morning sun shining uponit, was my poor little wood flower, quite withered, with one drop of glistening dew, its last tear, upon its once sweet, upturned face.

' I FIRST TEAM. . f M, 13' last the dream-s of the Independence High School boys have materialized, we had a football team, and I'll bet you some it was a howling success. When '06 pnt on the dignity of Seniors, enthusiasm in athletics ran high. Monday, October 4, 1905, saw the organization of the Boys' Athletic Association and the launching of our famous football team. Quick Work signalized every undertaking of the organization. In one afternoon the Association was formed. Morton Chiles was chosen Captain and Alexander McCoy Manager. No time was lostin starting practice work, and drilling the players in all the necessary tactics. . The first -afternoon on the practice all eyes turned to Fred Carter, ia stranger in our midst, in red uniform, ready for' Work. Our first Wish was to try him, and soon William Greene discovered that Carter had been fed on the 'same corn brea and bacon as the rest of us. All through the season right half was his position on the line up. the ends We had very good material. james Dickinson held down left end in every game like a pro- fessional. Early in the season he placed his mark high, and -in all subsequent games he kept it there or raised it. Many a time that steady, red-headed chap, our headlight, helped our opponents lose five yards. Ben Vittum played right end, and he entered every contest like a solfdierfready to do his duty. 4 ' ' S ' 4 I Every game of the season found Thornton Chiles, playing leftitackle. Of his many good plays thebest was at Buckner, when he made his grand stand act. He snatched if 54 . GLEAM. ' up the ig skin, made a dash, a long sprint, and again of one hundred yards. . ' Q Grinter played right tackle, bu-t was unable to be pres- ent at every game, to the regret of the Whole team, because he was' a steady man and ag sure one. I Thomson and Gibson guarded the little quarter back. Earl Gibson was a fast man, and could have done better on end, but as i-t was, he did excellent work as left guard. Proctor Thomson, the right guard, was a man to be admired from start to nnish., ' Our Captain, Morton Chiles, played left half, and how he did make things hum. When our rooters made the most noise, Morton always played -an important' part in causing it. He broke the opponents' line, or else he made his Way toward the goal, yards ahead of all others. ' A record to be proud of was made by Spurgeon Camp- bell, the fullback and mainstay of the team, and often he pushed over the goal line for five points. Signals I5-9644, back went the ball, and over or through the line went the minister's son. Punting was an important feature of his Work. His-score in that line was the highest on the team. In all the playing Mosely did good work. He was a reliable center, always putting the ball Where most needed. On one occasion he was unable to play, and William Greene took his place after very little practice. It was the first game of h-is life and he made a very creditable showing at that. - Blessings on him, the farmer boy, 4 g ' With his friendly smile of joy. ' Put me anywheref' he said to the Captain, and I will do my best. ' p Alexander McCoy, the Hleittle. quarter back, 'added strength to the team not only by his speed or Weight, but also by his brain work. - The first game of the season vvasplayed at Buckner. A rough and tumble game, which we lost With a score of I2 to 5. Our greatest weakness lay in lack of team Work, which was soon overcome, as this was our first defeat. The Buckners were destined to find to their chagrin what practice coul do with Independence oys. The sec- ond game vvas with the Kansas, City Central High School's second team, which resulted in a score of 5 to 4 in our favor. This game ut enthusiasrn into the work, and after this none of our opponents made a score. The next game, another victory, was played with the First National Bank team of Kansas City, the result being a shut out for the Kansas City team. This was a straight, clean game, and a member of the defeated team was heard to say: Those Independence boysbeat us bad, but every man on the team is a gentleman. , Closely foiiowing this came another victory. This time the West End eleven were the sufferers, lacking twen- ty-Tfour of having enough to make the game a. tie. . xThe next game was with cemfa1l'S second team, that had before lost ,a-'game to us, and the last with Buckner, .' x . , to , rr . , .i ' ' THE GVLEAMV. 55 the winners of our first game. Both games were playe on the home grounds. The Kansas City team put up a good game, but were unable to score, while we added six more to. our record. The special feature of the contest was' the hurdling by Spurgeon Campbell. The last game of the season, the second contest with Buckner, was for- feited to us. The Buckner team expected an easy game, but when they found, to their ismay, that they could do nothing with us, they began a free for all fight. We beat them playing ball, whipped them lighting, and sent ,them home, a sadder but a wiser football team, with their colors trailing in the dust. ' 5 - -Of the six games played we lost one, and our total score amounted to 62 against 16. From fi-rst to last ur team was a success, and to-day our school holds, addi- tion to its Worlds' Fair medal, a high place in athletics. One more year has passed and in. that time we have shown our mettle, for I Our football team was the wonder of thefyear, And their fame is known far and near. Their records and scores do clearly show They were ever fast and never slow. Long we'll remember the football band, The noblestand bravest in the land, ' Who bore the glorious Green and White To victory in the gridiron fight. . SECOND TEAM. The second team, though not so successful as the first, played three games, all of which were victories. Paul Whi'te was the Captain, and with a little advice from the Captain of the first team he piloted the team to victory. The first game. was played' with the Woodland team in Kansas City, the second with the Invincibles and the last with Central s third team. In the three games their score was 23 against a score of ro. The stars of the team were Paul White, the Captaing Charles, McCoy, quarter back, Harry Graves, right end, and Howard Rhodes, left end.

This was especially true of the Senior' girls' team and the first team.

But' the end of all this hubbub was as dramatic as the volume. of noise was great. The Sophomore joy was fated to be shortlived, for, on the day following this game the Senior live challenged the Sophomores. Ah, it was a dramatic calm. Nota Sophomore was heard boasting of their victory. They were more than vvilling 'to let good enough alone, as long -as they did not play the Seniors. There was not a boy in the school Who could muster up enough courage to bu-tt up against such basket ball players as Morton Chiles and Spurgeon Campbell. Z Thus the 'end of the basket ball season found the Senior class champion in asket ball, as Well as in foot- ball. The Seniors gave the finishing touches to our vic- torious football team, and ,here again they showed their mettle. The Senior girls held the place of honor among the girls, and they Won their honors by merit and work. On the other hand, the Senior boys Won glory, not by ball playinggf No, they Won on a luff.

BRYANT. A DAY IN THE IKGCKIES. - ' By Nellie Stewart. A Upon the pages of memory are written many beauti- ful and interesting reminiscences which we take a great deal of 'pleasure -in recalling. One day in my life that I shall always remember with a great deal of pleasure is the day that I ,spent in the Rockies , I had the opportunity of accompanying a party on a one day's outing in the mountains. It was one of those delightful Colorado mornings in May that the party had decided to go. At 5 o'clock in the morning all the members of the party were collected in one place, for it was reported that one wagon would start at 5 and the other one minute after 5, so all those who intended to go were there strictly on time. . Upon those wagons were the largest hay frames I 'have ever seen. They were covered with straw, over which canvas was spread. In this way I saw it was possible that 60 U GLEAM. r so many people could go on two wagons. At length we tstarted, and that ride- I shall never forget it. It was through a very beautiful stretch of country. In the early morning, as it was, everything seemed to be awake. The orchards were in full bloom and the fragrance ofptheir blossoms mingled with the early morn- ing air, created a sensation most appreciable. On ei-th-er side of the road the water trickled in the irrigation ditches as rushed on to its allotted' duty. At last we reached the foothills. They were quite different from the fertile valley through which we had just passed. Here on one side of the road, nestled among a few ragged cottonwoods, was a little red brick school- house, to remind us how lonesome must be the lot of one who teaches in theseimountainous districts. As we passed on we crossed several mountain streams dashing down from the ravine. , But soon we reached what had been the object of our journey-the mountains, towering heavenward in all their granduer. . Of' course, we al'l wanted-to climb, so immediately a party of us started at the foot with the idea of going to the top. I found a great deal more difficulty in climbing than I had anticipated. Nevertheless, after much hard work' and a great deal of effort on our art, we reached the top of one of the highest peaks our vicinity. I It was at this I point that was impressed with the thought, I-Iow much the mountains resemble life. . rocky ledge which lies before you seems almost impassable, but when you once get over it, there is a still more rugged one beyond, even more difficult to climb .than the first. ,After selecting several mementoes as souvenirs, we decided to go down, lest the remainder of the party should forget us during the lunch hour. - We spent more time in going down than we had in coming up. There were so many, many wild flowers blooming on the slopes that we stopped and gathered all we could carry.i It was on one of these slopes that we got a fine view -of the surrounding country-the foothills di- rectly below us looked like w-i e, undulating plains, broken heresand there by a silver mountain stream winding noise- lessly on, the spacious valley dotted with blooming or- chards, and beyond all, the beautiful ci-ty of Denver, steeple and dome rising to meet' the air.' -- H We spent the afternoon in wandering over some of the highest foothills and collecting all the curios we could At 5 o'cl-ock we started home. The evening drive was a decided contrast to the on-e of the morning, and when we reached home. the stars were shiningcbrightly and the old moon was srniling 'upon allthe earth. THE ULEAM. . 61 mm .CABiETS. B By Georgia Irwin. Among the many improvements which have been added to our school this year, and one in which many outsiders are greatly interested, is the organization of the cadet corps. For soime years a cadet corps has been talked of and it was through the efforts of some of the boys that weobtained it thi-s year. The company was 'organized under the supervision of Mr. Staton, who is captain. The company is com- posed of thirty-three boys, nine of whom are officers. There are two commissioned and seven non-commis- sioned officers. Wheii the boys first began,to drill they did not use guns. After they obtained their suits and mastered some of their drills, they gave us a program one morning. Everyone was very much interested, and once we held ofur breath-when Lieutenant Gentry walked up to Professor Bryant with his sword pointing directly at him. . e The girls take a great deal of interest in the cadets and it was with the money they gave that the bugle was bought. The only fault withit is that the girlsdo not hear it blown often enough. One afternoon, having asked the bugler in vain to sounda few calls, the girls tried it themselves. They might soon have succeeded had not Professor Bryant entered just when the girl had played. three notes. Q The cadets are also inspiring to a few of the fem- inine artists, and on several occasions some very excel- lent pictures' of the cadets' in different positions were drawn. Some of the enthusiasts outside the school were the means of procuring drums for the boys, and their guns were- obtained from the Third Regiment. Their belts, which complete their outfit, were bought with the money received at an entertainment which was under the direction of the cadets. The boys in uniform make quite a striking appear- ance, scattered over the auditorium in the morning, but they cause more excitement when they go to Kansas City or elsewhere. Everyone inquires from whence come so many cadets, and it is with pride that we answer, f Fro-in the Independence High Schoolf' I There are quite a few good results from the organiza- tion of th-is cadet corps. It makes the boys neat in that they are pro-ud of their suits and therefore keep them clean. It makes the school proud of them in that we are ahead of the Kansas City' schools in this respect. It is also benencial to the boys physically. i A The training which they receive in this company, we hope, will place them in the first ranks in any military school which they may have the opportunity to enter. And, if in some future day a war should darken this land, let these boys be the foremost in saying, I will fight to the end for the Stars' and the Stripe: 62 THE GLEAM.

Soon after the boys had organized their Cadet Corps, the Freshmen girls, always springing some new and lofty idea, took it into their heads to have a '5Young Ladies' Cadet Corps. They forthwith held a meeting and or- ganized. Of course, the two handsome lieutenants of the boys' corps were chosen for drillmasters. I They started out the first eyening with a dash-ev- erybody did everything wrong, nothing unusual in a Freshman, and the poor drillmasters were almost dis- heartened, and had it not been for their polite training, I fear they would have said something naughty. The second drill was more successful, for the drill- masters marched in front of the line so the young ladiesi' would not have to squirm around to see them. The Young Lady Cadetsi' came trippi-ng across the stage on the light fantastic toe, fawne over the lieutenants, and asked for all kinds of superliuous i.nf,0fmau0n5 and such a bashful, timid, giggling set of olive branch-es you never saw in your life. A .The idea of brandishing guns was out of the ques- tion with these poor little things, so theyagreed to carry brooms, mops, pokers or any convenient weapon obtain- able, for their arms. Most of the '1adies preferred brooms, because 'theysai that after they were married, if there was such a misfortune in store for them,ithey might like to know how to weild a broom on short notice. The broom drill was very interesting, although the 'fcadetsv were rather awkward at first, having had little experience with the broom. However, they progressed, and the lieutenants have already taught them how to bring the broom down with greatforce on any moving. object, to swing it with an ease and grace that would attract the attention of the passersby while sweeping the back porch, how to pull a straw out very artistically to find out wh-ether or not the cake is done, how t-o carry the broom when not in use, and last but not least, the very successfully taught the young lieutenants have ladies how, after the broom is worn beyond use, to make an attractive ornament for the dresser. . The young ladies are progressing with a rapidity that shows much earnest thought and practice in this line. - ' The Seniors wish th-em all the success in the world and it is our hope that when, in the far off hazy future, th-ey become Seniors, that they will hold the champion- ship in the weilding of the broom. ' J Stage- Talks. Theatrical Notes on Some Famous American Stars? The biggest hit on the American stage this season was the 'Mary D. Abrams production of the new three-act com- edy, 'The B-ishop of Ballarat. This play has the distinc- ,V , - THE GI,l-ZANI I 65 nf tion of having had the longest run in Independence of any play since I-Iumpty Dumptyf' with its superb cast, made its opening appearance several seasons ago. I In the large Auditorium here it held audiences captive by its sparkling wit and gorgeo-us scenery for two months. ,Inclement weather was no drawback. The company 'boast that the audiences were just as large on threatening evenings as when the moon was shining brightly. For two solid months every gust of wind brought with it from far and wide many different colored bills announcing The Bishop of Ballaratl' at the Auditorium of Central. High-for two solid months this marvelous production supplied all classes with plenty of stage gossip. Many who had renounced the stage with the strictest Puritan severity were now seen searching through various bandboxes, closets, ward-robes, etc., to see if they could find a few gay-colored flowers withwhich to freshen their bonnets, at a nice piece of pink ribbon to set off their somber-coloredwaists to wear to the thea- ter to,-nightf' I ' ' This play revolutionized the state of affairs in Inde- pendence. Doctors, lawyers, clergymen and all of that more serious minded type were seen for thefirst time in their lives, reared back in the front boxes, splitting their sides with laughter-fairly roaring at the clever stunts of the different comedians. or . Possibly much of the success of this wonderful pro- duction is due to the experienced comedian, Mr. Alex Mc- Coy, who carried the heavy role of jones. We predict for him a brilliant future in theatrical circles. For six years past he has been dividing laurels with De Wolf I-Iopper in ItIappyland,'f a position which he reluctantly left to ac- cept Mary D. Abrams' -offer of leading role' in The Bishop of Ballarat. Mr. McCoy is a tall, handsomely built young man, whose distinctly marked features, set off by his dark, heavy eyebrows, appear to a great advantage, and whose naturally witty and clever manner make him the idol of the hour. An especially does this new play give him wide range to display his talent, for throughout he, as a typical sport, is in the disguise of the Bishop, which af- fords ample room for his ready wit and suppleness. And whether drinking cold tea or the real thing from a flask, or whether making love to the wrong one or the real onefi McCoy is all right and is the budding comedian of the American stage. Miss Bessie Milton, the star of Europe as well as America, ' is well fitted for her part as Cissy, the heroine. I-Ier free, athletic manner, together with her love for the work, fit her for all that is required of the part. She is known to the world as Maude Adams' greatest rival, hav- ing' starred twenty-seven times in one night while playing in New York. But her own personal ambition is to have her name associated with that of- I-Ienrietta Crosman, in that she, like Crosman, is ambitious to link her destiny to reforming the stage and its actors. But in whatever field of theatrical work she drifts, we feel that her tenacity of purpose and her natural ability will bear her to the moun- G! 55 THE GLEAM. I tain Success. Nevertheless, Bessie does not like to be reminded of. the night that she forgot to r-un when the time came to go, and only 'tries to explain by saying that we all make mistakes. , - . . . - , Campbell, who carried the title role, appears to his best advantage when he comes upon the -stagelin search of his missing clothes. 'Tis at this juncture that sight kills and the already hysterical audience faint away. 'His naturally sober and serious mind especially fit him for his role as Bishop, although we would rather picture his great- est world success as a real Bishop in real life, than as a theatrical man who makes life 'behind theflfootlights his home. I ' ' 'G . 'Although Miss Allee de Hardin, lately 'arrived .from France, is new in American theatrical,-circles, she- is fast acquiring fame. As Miss Alvina Starlight, who was in love with the real Bishop she did some very, clever acting, and the fact of her extreme age was 'obliterated ' y her brilliant interpretation andpportrayal of thehobbies, loves and eccentricities of an oldmaid. -'.' I It is 'with pleasure that we call to- mind Thomas Twy- man, that actor of so world-wide experience, who pictures to us so thoroughly the trials and tribulations- of a hen- pecked husband. Although he has. been for many years touring Europe with Sam S. Sh-ubert's company in fAl21 the Comforts of Home, and also carrying leading role in entertain-ments given by Daughters of Confederacy, Fate had set aside this one position as Mr. Goodly The Bishop of Ballarat to lift him to the invigorating breezes enjoyed by an American star. His wonderful adaptability is his mo-st, striking characteristic. ,He can adapt himself jgust as well to enjoying the caresses-of his loving dau hters as he can to, enduring the lashings' of his scolding wife. A -Miss Lucy 'Dickinson as Mrs. Goodly pictures quite well femininewea-knesses. But her cool, reserved tempera- ment ispe-rhapsia., little too strong to utterly cast aside and take on at random the rating impatience and worry of a fussy housewife. Nevertheless her strong individuality shows plainly throughout in her domineering attitude to- ward her husband. , I Greene, carrying the role of lunatic, is right at home. He is simply great as the great big Chickagoo Chief, do- ing his stunt in the Indian war dance. He is a very prom- ising young man, and with a little more enthusiasm placed in his efforts we cannot see his finish. But it is Miss -Casebolt as the little Swede servant, Helma, whoswfays the crowd as if by magic. In her unique COS-'Cl4l'1Tl6 and with' her lo-ng flaxen braids of hair she is really,-c-harming-especially is this true when she stands efore the audlien-c'e,,blushing, as she tries to bursh away one or Ion-es' freely 'given caresses, and at the same ti-me ejaculating innocently: I like him pooty goiotf' ' Miss Edna Anderson, who is by birth an Independ- ence girl, and who in this play was the Goodly's dutiful daughter, Marjorie, is renowned especially for her striking xxfgg' CHARACTERS FROM THE BIQHOP OF BALLARAT 68 THE GLEAM. beauty. During her stay here she was generally recognized as the most beautiful girl on the stage. And critics, togeth- er with all interested stage Qgossips, are anxious to see her supposed,lover's heart from the in-side, for it see-ms to us that with such a fresh rose udebefore him, he could not help but be in earnest. A Another attractive little ody in the cast was Miss Georgia Erwin, as Minerva Goodfly. There is no wonder after seeing her cleverness and grace of motion, Why Fath- er Goodly was so partial to this talented daughterjwhy it was that it pleased him best to have Minerva nearkhim to stroke his gray locks and to diffuse a little sunshine in the midst of his thickening domestic clouds. ' r Otto Schmid as the man with the Billy was simply great. An audience can readily see at first glimpse why Goodly's dog takes it out in barking at him and does not take a bite. V I Gentry may consider himself lucky to even get the position as keeper of the sanitarium. He was 'a Iii-ttle too light for the place and we are glad to learn that he himself saw his own mistakes and left the stage to chase other pursuits. Other All-ractiones. . U The year 1906 h-as been rich in literary treats. ,No other year in the history of I. H. S. can boast of so many and so rare' talks and lectures as have been .presented to us thisyear. All one short season we have enjoyed the vivacity, the wit, the eloquence, and the sublirnity of the Dr. F. G. Tyrrell, the interesting and wholesome moral and spiritual advice of Rev. J. ,Mar- g-reat Chicagoan, tin, the cleverness a-nd learning of pDr. I-Iaupt, the practica- bilities of our Mayor, Mr. Prewittg the interesting narra- tives of personal experiences in China by Dr. Lynn, travels in Rome, Athens, etc., by Revq Campbell, heart to heart talks by the world-renowned temperance lecturer, Clara I-Ioffman, and finally that talk which we all feel proudest to? remem er-that talk by a survivor of thetBattle of Gettys- burg. It was on this particular event that our stage bore its most impressive speaker. Impressive, why? Because we were listening to the personal experiences of a true soldier, of one who fought infront ranks in lPickett's Charge. We were listening to one who could tell us the thoughts and feelings of a soldier who lay almost mortally wounded on the bloody battle field of a defeated army. We were listening to one who, by his distinctive voice, by the venerableness ofphis silver hair, and by his deep and thrill- ing life experiences, had complete control of our -emotions. Every eye in the room was dimmed as he carried us back to his old Virginia home' and to his loving mother, who anxiously ,awaited tid-ings from the battle field where he, her son, lay woundedg and when he showed usthe little charm that his sweetheart' gave him when he went to War, telling him to wear it ever, and above all to be a mam-this was a treat n-ever to be forgotten, and wherever Fate may direct our footsteps, we feel sure that reminiscences of GLEAM. , 69 Lieutenant I-fardin's beautiful, though' sad, experience will come tous o'er and o'er, and that we shall often realize what it is to be on the firing line. 0 COMING LATER.

So like him, she thought. Well, 'I do believe the train is coming at last! Why shouldtherre have been a wreck to-day? I wanted to get there before anyone else and have a talk with Louise. The train came pounding up the track and stopped panting impatiently before the small station. Dorothy Raymond lifted her skirts in a dainty glov-ed hand and went up the steps into the half-filled day coach. As she walked down the aisle she saw a tall, well dressed man sitting alone and in front of him a vacant seat. His hat was off, and the sun coming through the window fell on his black hair, giving it a peculiar bronze light. She went past him and seated herself in the vacant seat and opened a magazine, but it was in vain she tried to interest herself in the pages before her. She felt an uncontrolla- ble desire to see the man behind her, and when the train 'stopped at another small station, she turned and looked back as though expecting so-me one. She turned again quickly and her face flushed, for the man was looking straight at her and he corresponded exactly to the de- scription she had just read. Could it be possible ? she asked herself, that this was the famous Mr. Hapburn? Perhaps he was on his wayito the house party she was going to attend! Louisehad distinctly said and a man you have never met ! ' Howinteresting, .and funny it would bel V ' i S - iw A crowd ofjworkmen entered the carg she pulled her skirts aside and settled- herself to look out of the window as one of thern took the vacant seat beside her. 70 'THE GLEAM. .L With her head resting on the iron brace, she looked out idly and ,gave herself up to more conjfectures about the interesting person behind her. She was interested, for ever since she had come to Barstow county to visit+-and long before from Louise Stuart-she had heard of the handsome, wealthy andinvincible Lester Hapburn, and .more than once it had been promised she should meet him. T 'Louise says, He will just suit you, and you will just suit him, she thought and smiled, for,Louise had been her chum at school and Lester Hapburn was Louise's cousin. Suddenly she felt a sickening shock, and it was dark. Then it seemed as if a huge beam was across her body and an iron band was pressing on her head. She tried to free her hands and lift the weight, but shecould not move. Where was she? O, yes. ' There must have been another wreck and she was buried in it !- The only part of her body movablewas her eyes. A heap of wreckage, overturned seats and fallen beams were on one side of her, but no people: Perhaps they had all got out but her. No, she could hear a man's voice. What was he saying? Why, he was calling herlown name! Dforothy! fDlorothy!!'f he cried., There he was on the other side, struggling frantically to lift a fallen timber from across his feet. The sunshine was streaming down on his bronze-black hair. Thank Go you are not dead, she exclaimed, as he lifted the cam with a mighty eitort and drew his feet from under it. Thank God' that you are not, he an-swered. Perhaps now I can save you. 1 Barstow City! Barstow 'City! ' called the conduc- tor. Pardon me, miss, wern't you to get OE here? Dorothy rubbed her eyes dazedly and turned to the mir- ror to pin on her hat., A broad red streak from the iron ,window rod was across her forehead and her head ached violently. The train came to a standstill an the man behind her got up too. He had a suit case and as she followed him out of the car she read: p Will J. Smith, Agent for the Horseman and Ken- dall's Spavin Cure 5 Also Valuable Stock Remedies. Always after that the mention of Mr. Hapburn's name gave her a violent headache and she steadily re- fused to meet him, much to the displeasure of her friends. .1 oe AS sushi BY Tina Tovnuil.lc.n'r Of l'IOIlPIlE.US. ' By Bessie E. Milton. , ' While lying awake during the earlier hours of the night, intent upon the future lives of the dear old class of '06, I unconsciously surrendered myself to Morpheus, and became the most attentive member ofhis train on a voyage o'er land and sea and even to thetuttermost depths of the world+to the eternal shades., No sooner had this god of sleep transformed me and had l'aunche'd'me out upon the deep sea, than he disap- peared, leaving me to iight the waves of mid-ocean alone. c THE GLEAM 71 I was in the frailest kind of a bark, ploughing the waves, when suddenly a terrible crash drew my attention, and behold! A three-pronged fork had pierced my little vessel's s-ide, and she was sinking.. In my agony I was crying aloud for aid, when Neptune lifted my little boat upon his shoulder, and apologized earnestly for having been so careless with his trident. In atonement he i114 vited me to his palace, while he set my boat aright. I gratefully accepted this invitation, at the same time ask- ing his assistance in my efforts to lin-d trace of my old teachers and-schoolmates. This he promised heartily, saying that I would find most of them in I-Iades, as long ere now that generation of mortals had died. So, at his suggestion, I took the sub-water route as the most convenient, and' after many arguments with whales, dolphins and sharks, I reached the clanging iron gates of I-Iades. . ' ' j 'I was. rejoiced tolfind that Cerberus, who had long defied all entrance to the under world, had died, and that Mr. Goodley's pup had been chosen to take his place, for this pup and I were good friends at the Goodley home. Consequently I had no trouble getting in. Upon entering, another surprise awaited me, for the first person to greet me was Alexander, sitting dow-n by a tree with his fingers locked in his hair and a villaiin- ous look upon his face, saying: The villainy you teach me I will execute, etc. I was almost afraid to stir him, butl approached him gently and said: Well, Shylock, why don't you get across this stream and get weighed, so you can enjoy the Elysian fields ? He snubbed the idea of Elysia, and said: Well, old Charon's not a very good friend of mine, besides-well, I don't care much about gittin' over there any way, for I'd never get any farther than Tartarus, and those pesky old rulers there would either be iwantin' me to rise to recite, or to ex- plain a problem, or to turn on the heat or something, and--well, I'm too tired to try that again. I wasn't surprised to find that Alex still had that tired feelin', but I could not talk to him longer, for the boatman was rowing near the shore, and 'I had no time to wait. A crowd of hungry spirits flitted by me as I embarked, and in the crowd I recognized Morton, Myrtle, Bertha, Eva and Nellie. They all seemed to have a stand-inn with Charon, for I noticed he never charged them any passage fee, so I looked inquiringly up at Charon, expecting to view a stern, cruel and relentless face, but, instead, would you believe it, my eyes met those of Spurgeon's. Such a' reunion as we had! But Bertha could not enjoy it much because she had not tipped the scales of justice yet, and she 'was kinder anxious 5 still we were all glad to know that Spurgeon had received such an honorable place, and that he dealt with the spirits so gently. As we stepped off into Hades proper, we gave our old class yell. Lucy's voice was as good as ever, and we made the infernal regions ring with, '06 is all O. K. . 7 3 I I Tnn GLEAM. I was a little afraid that our boisterousness would anger Pluto, but, lo, and behold, as we stood nearrthe- foot of his throne, his smile broke into a laugh as he told us a little .joke about a noisy Senior Class that he had at school in 'o6. We knew by the tender glance and by the old joke that it was Professor Bryant. We were all re- joiced to see him, and Morton in his rapture jumped over the railing and clasped him around the neck, while Eva and Nellie each grasped him by the hand. Eva vio- lently began: Arma virumque cano, ' etc., while Nellie began inquiring about Creusa and poor little Iulius. I left this band of spirits with the New Ruler and hurried on to Tartarus in search of other shades. Here was a fieldof interest. With the increase of ages .the modes of punishment had been modified somewhat and ,an entirely new force had been employed to manage this department. Here the teachers of ol.diCentral were do ing active business and getting rich fast. ,I was ushered into this region a little more violently than I expected as the Furies were a little out of sorts I guess, and be fore I could check myself I had bumped into a door pretty hard. A pretty geometrical figure opened' the door with her usual grace and invited me in. It was Mi-ss McDonald, still in the business of planes and solids although she ,was in the land of spirits. She explained that she was holding her afternoon reception, so I im mediately looked around for some ol' friends. I was not mistaken, for there was jollly old 'Edna digging away Also Otto, whom I thought was long since sharing eter- nal oet's bliss, was still at an' afternoon geometry re- ception in Tartarus. Poor Lucy had beaten me here and immediately failed on a Parall'elopipod, and Wil- liam couldn't prove his Corol'lary, because he could -not see the curve that the line intersected. ' Being unable to stand this torture, I fled through the floods of Tartarus and entered another gate labeled Prison No. 5. ' Such a wretched class of shades! At first I was overcome by an unnatural darkness, but soon there was enough light to discern Miss Maggie in her pedes- taled seat, and Grace, May, Jessie, Margaret and Annie in their accustomed chairs. All were too 'intent and frightened to notice my entrance excepting Annie, who smiled at me sweetly. And I could see by her' express- ive eyes that she had something real funny to tell me Suddenly Jessie gave a shriek that sounded like Gas something I dont know what While at the same time May and Margaret began to shake violently Then quick as a flash they were frozen into marble by one look from the ruling shade as she told them that she was surprised to think that any pupil would not know the name of the treaty that closed the Mexican War Grace seemed to be indiffernt to this mental torture in her agony over closed curtains evidently the poor girl wanted a little light on the subject Burkes Conciliation Speech I fled only to encounter V I-Ialf afraid that she would ask me to give in full ..

But instead of forty-five minute pe- riods, they were doomed to never lift their eyes from a book, under penalty of Miss Henry's wrath, Here poor Kathlene was sentenced to study forever. ' My mind filled with the horrors of Tartarus, I dec- cided to Hee. On my way to counsel a bolatman to take me back I met ,Miss Loew, but I lurked behind a pile of firewooduntil she was well out of sight, lest she would ask me for that excuse that I failed to bring her while I was in-school. Once safe in the boat, I sought ad- mission to Elysia, still in search. of ol-d friends, At the gate of this happy, land I met Miss Stoner, s-elling tickets to -a basket ball game. She s-aid that she was 'in perfect bliss, enjoying herself as an athlete, an conducted me down the street until we came to a littl-e bfeak where a tent was stretched on which was printed Dancing Lessons Free!! , Much to my surprise, I found Allie hopping about, teaching julia and Adelyn to. dance. I was gladito s-ee Adelyn learning so well. A little farther on, I met Vida walking' with her arms akimbo, head thrown back, and her eyes turned upwardethat same sai-ntly look, I was glad to see her, but evidently she was 'indifferent toward me, for she walked on by with th-at same old dignified carriage. I was somewhat burt by this cool treatment, but I did not have time to nurse this grief long, foron my way over to a beau- tiful shady spot, where I saw a familiar form sitting, I almost met with a fatal accident. The Cad-ets were on parade and we could not get out of the way quick enough. But the happiest moment of all was when I reached the beautiful,Hesperian tree and 'embraced my dear little Georgia. I found her singing a soft little lullaby to a very desrving looking personage. She still wore two class pins, one of '05 and one of '06, She told me,that she was supremely happy and wishedthat I could stay, but alas! I was forced back-the gates were barred be- hind me and I seemed to be rushing toward Tartarus, when, thanks to Morpheus, I found myself tucked snug- ly in bed 'and the class of '06 and its teachers still on this side the Land of Shades.

By Edna Anderson. Having been invited by my friend, Harold Hartly, to spend my -vacation, which fell in October, with him, I gladly accepted, the more readily as our friendship dated from the time when we both wore sashes, and had con- tinued with scarce an interruption through a period of thirty years. I therefore joyfully welcomed the four- weeks of leisure which I was to spend in his corn any. After deliberating on and rejecting lan after plan which seemed to fyield any enjoyment, we finally decided to pass the month at an old manor, which had been the property of I-Iartley's family for several generations, one of his ancestors having obtained, the old. mansion in the War of the Roses. With as few improvements as possible to keep it in its original state of architecture, and yet preserve it from absolute decay, it still stoo somewhat of its former granduer in one of the most ro- mantic parts of Kent. ' l In the first week of October we set out early on horseback. The day was one of those which Autumn alone-qc-an bring. When Nature uts on her eautiful mantle once more before sinking into that long sleep, and seemsito atone for the blightpand decay of all her beauty by concentrating the glories of the Spring and Summer, and flinging them abr ad over the glad earth. The dry leaves made a pleasant sound' .beneath our horses' feet, the smoke of .bonfires rose frompmany little homesteads, the harvesters sang as they tossed the hay into the lofts, while the children scooped out the pump- kinslto be made into jack-o-lanterns, probably for Hal- lowe'en pranks. I We took our midday meal at one of these places. It was homely fare, but I venture to say that keener ap- petites thanours were never brought togbear on its like. Much refreshed, we resumed our journey, which lay through open and level country the remainder of.. the distance, and slept beneath the o en sky that night with no other company than that of a solitary hoot owl, who changed his mournful dirge into our dreams the whole night long. On the ,evening of the thir day we drew near our destination. The 'setting sun, the lowing of cattle, the barking of a dog, and mingled with this the sweet chimes of vesper bells, all heard in the distance, seemed a fitting close to a fair Autumn day, and fell like balm on our spirits. ' A long avenue, .arched with stately elms, led up a slope to the old manor, situated on an eminence over- looking a small lake. The scenery was as romantic as heart could wish.

As we rode slowly up the wavenue a little doe, startled, looked up from a covert of brushes and bounded away. The old mansion, although partly ruinous and in spite of the wear of years, stood out in solitary state, the relic of a time l ng past. It was composed of gray stone and had two turrets. A An old servant and his wifeg-were allowed to reside in this mansion of forgotten splendor in return for what little he could do toward keeping it up, and, indeed, the faithful old man seemed to take great pri e in its ap- pearance. He it was who swung back the massive, creak- ing door to admit us, and led urs to the cavernous fire- place in the hall, for the night had grown chill. And then I looked around. I was standing where kings had stood. The pictures, the draperies, the old style magnificence of it all sent a feeling of awe through my plebian blood. Supper was served here also. After its removal Hartley and I 'sat before the lfireplace,'he relating tales of adventure and I listening, for his pow- ers of narration were vivid. 'A ' W VI suppose your mansion has its ghost, said I. Yes, 'he replied, it would not be complete without its Banshee. And then he related how, long ago, b.eau- tiful Lady Alicia Hartley in the- time of those readful wars, heard one night a body of horsemen riding up the hill. Then came a loud knocking on the door and some- one shouted her name. With a cry she snatched a shawl and threw it around her, but before she could reach the hall the knocking was renewed. The servants were hud- dled here and there in frightened groups, too terrified to speak, but the Lady Alicia herself' threw back the bolts, for the voice that called was her husband's, Sir Iohn, and he staggered in and fell in a swoon. The battle had gone sorely against the Lancaster party, but Sir john had stood' his ground until .mortally wounded. He th-en called a retreat and he and his re- tainers started towards Hartley Manor. But they were pursued, and just as Sir john staggered over the thresh- old of his home one of the burly ruflians, with a shout to his companions, rushed in, in pursuit. They far out- numbered Sir Iohrfs followers, but the brave soldiers put up a gallant fight and finally drove them back.

Yes, yes, to-morrow, to- morrow, he said, hurriedly, evidently relieved, and look- ing from Hartley to me he left the room. What do you suppose is the matter with the 'old duffer? asked Harry. I thought he ,was too sensible to be superstitious, and he acted so strangely when he was pleading with me not to go in. Did you notice how dreadfully in earnest he was? I hadnoticed it and something else, also, which I had thought at the time too trivial to mention. . That morning I was standing by an upper window in the hall, which commanded a view of the grounds, when I heard a sound as of crockery. rattling, and the noise came from the secret chambers! I hurried along theipassage to the door which opened into them, but it was locked. I knew Harry would only laugh at me for my pains if I told him, besides theinoise was probably caused by rats. This explanation was plausible and sat- isfied me. The tempest increased in violence and by midnight was raging in unabated fury. I had been sleeping for probably an hour when I awoke with a start and sat upright. The elements were still at war. The lightning flashed and the thunder peeled, but it was not thunder and lightning which awakened me. Thenoise was that of horses galloping up, the causeway, followed by .a ter- rific buffeting on the door the rough voice of ga man shouting for admittance. Instantly' the ghostly legend took possession of mylmind, but only for ,a moment. I sprang to my feet and met Harry running from his room, pistol in hand. Quick! he cried. Bring a light and come on. I snatched a candle and followed. As we reached the stairs a deafening splintering. and crashing ensued and the oaken door fell in. Immediately a .dozen or so men rushed in, whom I made out in the dim light to be omcers. Harry had reached the halland confronted them. In the fiends' name, said he, sternly, what does this mean? We have reason to know, one of them replied, 'that Giles Vernon, the murderer of 'Squire Thornton, is concealed here. Give him up quietly' and there will be no more disturbance. i It is quite useless for him to try to escape. The house is surrounded, he added. I ' Harry turned and looked at me, 'blank astonishment written on his face, while I stared at him. You have come to the .wrong place, Harry finally replied. I know 'of no ,such person. 'Nevertheless he is here, was the reply. Men, search the place from roof to foundation. They swarmed. through the house, paying no attention to Harry's explanations and threats. I fol- lowed in a daze. What did.it all mean I! Q Suddenly a pistol shot rang out in the darkness, followed by a scream from within. It .cametfrom the secret chambers! - eWelall rush-ed upstairs. Harry himself burst open the door. 'And what a sight confronted us. Lying on W 78 . THE GLEAM. , l - the Hoor, beforecanopen wi-ndow,,throufgh Whiehfhefhad vainly tried to escape, was the body of a man, a stream of blood flowing from a wound in his side. Everyone stood as if rooted to the floor, until Harry broke the deathlike stillness, exelaimingz Jacques, what does this mean? How came this man here ? ' , Poor Jacques, crouching before Harry, iumplored 'him to have mercy and he woul tell all. We all sat down in the haunted chamber while the old man told his story, accompanied by the pattering of the Autumn rain. Old Jacques in order to save his scapegrace son and give him a place of refuge had kept alive the tradi tion of the old manse and encouraged the superstitious part of our natures to the utmost The poor old man had been living in mortal terror ever since our arrival fearing that we would discover his s n It IS needless to say that Harry forgave him and the last person we saw as we rode away from the old manor in the early dawn of a beautiful day was old Jacques waving his hat the sun shining upon h1s face and upon his silvered hair Cornvllles Victory By Alexander McCoy Strike three! the umpire thundered The Corn ville nine walked slowly out to field for the third time without credit of landing a safe man ast iirst The mighty pitchers' battle, which had been advertised for many weeks, and waited for by almostevery person in the town, was now raging and neither side could score. Innings passed away without affecting the score board. The hot sun shone fiercely upon the dissatisfied multi- tude in the bleachers, while jeers of low and very ex- pressive English pierced the stifling air. Strikeouts in A, , C manner became so common that the weather, the spectators and even the players' cried impatiently for a change of things. ' Say Bill can t you work on that left liel er?

I-Iowfd it work? asked the Cornville Ike. Fine as frogihair, came from the corner of Bill's catfish up- per lip. ' The game Went on, free from all tallies. Each in- ning the Cornhusker became more and more anxious about his new nonacquaintance, Roscoe. Poor -Bill had a hard time to keep ahead. One half he was working like a Turk on old Roscoe, who seemed to be an exper- ienced toper. During the other he prayed like a Meth- odist, in order to show the local sport that all was work- ing well. Yet Bill was completing work that the nine crooks 'in the Held were unable even to start. ' His visit in the dressing room during the first half of the ninth was longer than ever. Bill, was making sure of his mark. After several summons a rooter was sent to fetch them out to the field. At first long peals of boozy laughter rolled out of the dressing room which held the bleachers for -a five-minutes' applause. Then out slipped the jolly Roscoe, strutting similar to the sea- sick Missourian after a short voyage. During a minute of waving gestures, he saluted the men, winked at the WOIHCI1, cussedi the ki s and flirted with the girls. He was quickly hustled to his position, and the ball game proceeded' The score was 0 to 0 the last of the ninth Cornville at the bat. e . Take yer time. See that drunken fool in the Held? Well, give him a trimmer and the game is ours. With this advice, the first man took his place in front of the diamond and calmly 'faced the sturdy pitcher. Two balls flew over the pans, .and the third! Well, it was a third. The guy only shut his eyes and smashed the ball, cleared the shortstop and savagely hummed out to the left field fence. But Roscoe was there. A mo- ment later it crashed against his linger and slipped through his uncontrolled lingers to the green sod below. The runnersped on past second and began an encourag- -ing slip for home. ' A solid mass of pretty names interested the drop- ping of the ball, but heedlessly Roscoe looked up in time to see the runner cross home plate. Then turned away to kill some of the plantiful snakes Qin his bootsj. Men threw their hats away, women screamed and waved their handkerchiefs, boys set up the squeaky Rot- ten yell as if they hadn't got their money's worth. And there was great joy in Cornville, for the drun- ken Roscoe dropped the ball. ' ' . To the Class Gil 1906. . In leaving the portals of the public school you are about to enter a broader field where greater achievement is possible, and where you cannot afford to fail. Fortu- nately, perhaps, you' will be able to forget many things you have learned, but let us hope that in their acquire- ' I I, ' Inn ULEVAM ment you have gainedstature and strength that will be acquired from books or sympathetic instruction, but from 80 H serviceable to you in the greater contests through which you are yet to pass. You are about to realize what you may have been told before-that life isa campaign in .. , lip. which each battle 'affords you an opportunity to win a victory There is no rest and perhaps it i-s better so I think existence must soonlhave grown irksoim-ei to the lotus eater Many of the lessons you are yet to learn may not be contact with- men and things. You will perhaps -be more successful-in their mastery than in some of less moment that you have acquired in school. To the earn- est man orlwornan, life-is a continuous growth, and the less-ons which experience brings- are necessary for the development and perfecting of character. I trust that not one of you will allow any experience, hfowever bitter, to render you hard or cynical, but that you will make it serve the purpose of enlarging, ripening and ennobling your manhood or womanhood. y I rejoice that ambition inspires the heart of youth with desire to command success I like the spirit that resolves to win in spite of obstacles It must be re membered however that the successful man is not al ways he who revels in material prosperity or whose ear is tickled by the applause of the multitude Your own self respect is the most piiceless possession Let no temptation however alluring induce you to part with it Make no compromise with evil for a semblance of suc cess The world s approval is a pleasant possession but it may be secured at too great expense and the seal of its disapproval sometimes marks the hero What we regard as duty often seems difficult and distant as well as uninviting The path of duty says Mencius lies in what is near and men seek for it in and men seek for it in what is difficult As the mile ' t , , , . in j , , I .

These were the happy thoughts that touched the h-earts of that promis- ing body of college students as they marched in on Commencement night to receive their diplomas, and to hear their grand old Professor's farewell address. A dazzling sunlight seemed to be their future and life to them was all beautiful. , - I But it seems essential that such pridelike glory be shortlived, and next morning found th-is essential real- ized -in its fulliest. Crowds of hurrying students-so-me with tears flowing as they were biddingpfrien-ds good- bye, others rushing onward, looking back only to wave a 'kerchiref or to cast a farewell glance at the dear old campus and college- groundssrushed toimeet their trains and to greet friends at home again. i ' 1 But one student lingered longer. She stood long at the door embracing Miss Talbot, under whose direc- tion she had been for four eventful college years. Final- ly, taking her suit case, shestarted to -descend the steps, but once more she turned her soft, inquiring blue eyes to her friend and softly said: Fill be soulonesome now, Miss Talbot, and .I fear those country hills and mead- ows will seem so- wild and strange that .I shall feel that my education has accomplished the wrong purpose, in that it will make me discontented with such a narrow lifef, r 4 - 'fOh, no,i.my dear.

Love me no less, now that you are leaving, andwl shall anxious- ly wait to hear that Cecile has found that peaceful con' tentmfent that awaits every lover of duty.

She, as well as they, felt that she waslout of place. And as the long Winter evenings approached her rocker was st-ill vacanat by the chimney side. There, in the solitude of her room where -she could nurse her selfish grief, were her charms. Q Thus did the first year pass-wasted. As her father, in his illiterate way, said that the rose that he had hoped would outbloocm all others had become blasted before full blown, and was carryin-g to decay with it the full blown flowers, too. But as the next spring opened the days 'grew longer, and the field-s slowly changed their dull brown garb for a fresh green verdure, Cecile's heart began to change its original frigidness and stolidity for a-soft, springlike touchlof love. Somehow, the same mys- terious Over Power that was transforming all external nature was, too, working a silent revolution in this mi-s- taken .girl's heartg And as the days grew warmeranrd the twilight shadows blended with the summer's sunset glow, Cecile found the cherishing of past memories in solitude less interesting. And the song of the lark and the notes of therobin were turning the discordant notes of her soul into one harmonious whole. She was uncon- sciously drifting back into her p.eaceful life. She was becoming a typical farm girl, she had begun to gaze with -eagerness and rapture upon the busy bar-nyard scene a-gain. At night -she slept to dream of her gal- leping ride o'er hill and dale, among, the grazing herd of cattle, and she found a more lasting joy in listening to. the old familiar tunes of the ploughmen than in dwell- ing upon grand operas. The chime of the little country church bell had summoned her-back into itsifold-and the hymns of her childhood removed all lingering traces of selfishness. Her life had begun to broaden into that deep stream, as Miss Talbot had prophesied. And, too, just to please father, she had .accepted a position as teacher of the little district school, where she learned her first lesson. Thus did college-reared .Cecile become Hschoolmarm of the district skulef' I ' . It is useless to tell of her success, and' of how the little rural lads and lassies loved her, and brought her bou-quetspfruits, flowers and other tokens of love, for I must pass hurriedly to one of those bright, ruddy days of early autumn, when -all of the living are animated by the gloss. of Autumn's charms. g Cecile had heard- her last recitation and as the last joyful hearted boy bounded from the room, prepared to pursue her way homewardf She loitered more than us- ual along her wooded path, sometimes to catch the re- verberating shouts ofthe school children and sometimes to pick up some.Autumn leaves. A year before such pastimes would have been unbearable. Now it was a chance surrounded with glorious fascination. List to her soliloquy as she stoops among the massive trees to gather fallen leaves.

Dickinson. e . ' in Q There is born' in every person a love for the heroic. From earliest childhood we 'delight in stories of great hero- ismg we love to hear of those persons who have done extra- ordinary deed-s-deeds that seem far beyond the power of any human being. Our ideas of true heroism are embodied in that erson 'who lives an uncommon life and does uncom- mon things. But as we grow older our ideas change, we see that true heroism consists, not in living an extraordinary life or in doing extraordinary deeds, but that it -consists in trying to exalt and ennoble our own lives no matter how humble or insi-gni-iicant we may feel our pos-itionf in life to be. ' 1 p, ' True heroism does not necessarily mean greatness or renown. Some of the greatest heros that havelever lived have not even been mentioned in history. They' lived in quiet, Huntrodden ways, trying to ennoble their own lives and the lives of those -about them, and though they are not mentioned in -history their influence is felt there. Puritanism is one of the best examples that history af- fords of true heroism. The Puritans always appealed to me as being true heros, for, although some of them have taken their places among the great men of the world, there were a great 'many in their ranks whose names were never known to hist ry, but who were brave enough, in the face of ridicule and scorn, to live up to their ideals of life. This is true heroism! And it was the determination of the Puri- tans to live up to their i eals that has made their inliuence on the history of the world so greatq i Although the Puritans ' were most prominent 'in the Seventeenth century, we must trace their origin back to the Fourteenth, when Wyclif was spreading i his doctrines abroad. His greatest idea 'was the equality of man, and this is the fundamental principle of' Puritanism. The Lol- 88 N H I ggi 1 I . lards kept alive his ideas, and alwough they were cated and scattered, the ideas they held were too greet to be lost. Other ioduenoes that mused the growth ol Purltanlsm were the Reformadon 'andthe Universities, then rising into prominence The p tlons also caused its growth. The refugees ded to Geneva and tlmfe 'came under the induenee of Calvin. After the persecutions were over they returned to England and became that wonderful body of meneesthe Puritaos. Per- lxaps the greatest thing that developed Pm-itamism was the widespread reading of the Bible. - England became, as Green says, a nation of one book, and that 'book was the Bible. The people had bqun to read and think for themselves and when a nation does this it is bound to progress. New ideas were hold on the people and they were beginning to look at life in its true light. Victor Hugo said : 'Yoa may resist an invasion of armies, but it is impossible to twist an invasion of ldusff - Puri- tanism as aa invasion of Mas, and oo monarch had the power to mesist lt. W - The work of the Puritans is the greatest proof that they were true heroes.. Only 'true heroism could ac- oomplish what they accomplished. Their greatest work was tofoverthxow tyranny and place the power of the English government the hands of me people. The Stuarts were England- Wim an iron hand, and the only My to check themtw-as throng the Parlia-Q mmts, Every studmt of history will remember that in the Parliaments of the Stuarts really gained for land her constitutional liberty, and it was the Parltans who made up the greatest numbex-'in these' Parliaments They were the strongest check on the despotism of james and Charles l. But at last it became necessary for the people to dght for theix liberty. The Pun-itans' took the lead in the Civil War, and to them is doe the honor of it for me English people. The New Modelf which Cromwell tow: eere to see was made up entirely of Puritms, was the real strength of the people's The Puritans woo, for England the ,battles of Marstili- Moor and Naseby. These were the decisive battles of the war. They broke the power of the King, and showed that the people were henceforth to be the They also showged what natural independence, united witli religious zeal and an instinctvof self-government, Wm enable a people to do. V y A ' Q Politically, the fell with the wealth, but their finduence olives on and is felt tosday. Surely their works do follow tl1em. ' - ' - A Tl1ePuritaa as an individual is one ol' the most admirable characters in Wlistory. Here, if anywhere, is true heroism! The social and moral life in England at this time was most eorrupt. The Puritaas soughtwto remove this wrrupdon and raise the society to a level-A 'They saw how corrupt, the people wese about them, and they tried to :correct in their 'own lives wlnat they saw was wrong in the lives of others. It was ' ,Q-edrsxf 'A -M-f--i--- '- - Y -Avg? 'Y V Y an l T HE GLEAM. ST ideal to get control over themselves, and to do this they must hold themselves apart from the world. Thus they became severe and gloomy, and excluded from their lives all that wassbeautiful or worldly, fearing that their intluence would corrupt them. On account of these things they became the laughing stock of. the nation. But the Puritans had the courage ot their convictions. They lived as they thought they should, no matter how much they were ridiculed and scorned. This surely was true heroism. They believed in freedom of thought and conscience, and sail-ed away to America, willing to endure cold and hunger to gain this fl'CCdOI1'll They had that idea which Patrick Henry so eloquently expressed many years later: Give me liberty, or give me death. The Puritans always did what they believed to be right, no matter what power tried to make them do otherwise. They would endure anything to carry out their ideas of right. They had that persistence of purpose which made Savonarola great, and which enabled Ioan of Arc to carry out her grand and noble purpose. The influence of the Puritans on the history of the world is enormousf For this, it for-:no other reason, everyone should understand them. They battled against the armed force of Charles I., but they battled against a force much stronger than that-they fought the vice and impurities of the England of their tirne. Surely, I I Peace hath her victories, I No l-ess renown'd than those of war. ' l higher. Society lost a great deal oi emptiness ,and show The Puritans'rwork against the evil of theirntime is greater, if ossible, than their work against the despotism of the Stuarts. Morally, they raised England to a much higher level., They connected morals with religion, and tried, in every way, to raise the standard of honor. It was through their influence that Sunday was first kept as a day of rest. In London to-day the cars d-o not ago out on Sunday, and this can be traced directly to the Puri- tans. Life gained in moral granduer, in a sense of or- derliness and equitable force. The people at this time engaged in the lowest and most cruel pastimes, and these low and defiling amusements were abolished by the Puri- tans. They raised the morals of England and gave the people a higher ideal' to. live by. ' . Socially, their influence is just as great. As the morals of a country are raised, the society must become and gained in soundness and depth. The public school system, which Horace Mann afterward. perfected, and which we enjoy to-day, is due to Puritanism. The equal- ity of man-perhaps the greatest principle in the world to-day-is also a .result of.Puritanism. - But the greatest influence oi Puritanism is felt po- litically. Hume said: England owes the whole freedom of her constitution to these people. Through the Stuart Parliaments and by the Civil, War England gained her liberty, and the Puritans were the life of both. In a way the liberty of the whole world is due to Puritanism, for ,. as 1 A ' 'Tusk Gunn. E when the other Qnationsssaw England enjoying liberty they were to have it also, and sooner or later fought and won their battles ,against despotism. The Puritan elementeiu America inspired the wlomilib with a love of lihsty that spurred them on to the glo- rious victories of the Revolution. The Puritans certainly lighted the sacred ha-es of libertyf' Puritanism is the Aurora of the Seventeenth Cena truy-nits Sun-its Hope-its lnspiratiom. of the greatmt men England has produced were Puritans. John Bunyangthe author of the greatest allegory in the Eug- lish l , was a Puritaug sud so was Oliver Crom- well, the protector of liberty. But the greatest man in the rsulrsof Purimnism was john Milton, He was Puritan to the depths of his soul., As Green says: He is the oompletest type of Puritanismrg his-life is ab- solutely contemporaueous with his cause? His poem, Lycidas, written before the Civil War, savers of all the Puritan stemuess and love of purity. While Sp struck the notes of Puritauism, it was Milton who gave the last grand peel.

It was the great numhereol true he- roes in the ranks of Puritanlsm that made it a lever by which the world was raised higher. And it is this work of uplifting, purifying and ermobling the world that made them, as Macaulay, says: The most reruarlr- able body of men the world has ever produced. The work of the Puritans was performed in the Sev- enteenth Century, but their indueuee is felt to-day. It can never die. For surely the work of true heroism is immortal., The Puritans advanced the idw that Christ was superior to any institution, either Church or State, and the body of men who established such at great priu- ciple will always hold a high plaee in the history of the world.

Each period leading up to and preparing the way for the other. It was intended that it should be so, and if this original purpose is fulfilled it is then, and then only, we can say: All's well aheadf' - In the beginning God made the earth. Everything in Nature was perfected+the last detail was completed. The plants provided man's food, the beautiful Garden of Eden was his dwelling place, the sun was made to give him light, the night to give him rest. Then, when everything wasin readiness, God made -man. Every necessary element and sense was provided for in his be- ing. ,I-le was, in the beginning, a perfect creature, in a perfect earth. Man started in this world with every- thing Hwell ahead, ' and it was because he failed in mak- ing the most of his first condition that he fell. In the plant life, if the fruit is to be the best, every stage must be prep-aratory. The ground must be ut in rea iness to receive the seed. Then, if the earth is in the proper condition, the seed. will soon send forth the little green shoots, the forerunners of the fully developed .plant. lfVhen the plant shows its head above the ground, Providence has prepared the sun, the rain and the dew to make it strong and to develop it to its greatest beauty. Wlien the plant has grown, then comes the blossom, which paves the way for the coming of the fruit. If, however, one of the stages of development has failed, then the fruit either fails entirely, or is dwarfed and im- perfect, and all the other stages have counted for noth- ing. In our lives, the first and greatest period of pre- paration is the period of,our intellectual and moral de- velopment. - I . , Our home lifehas an important place here. It is- essential, in most cases, that thepatmosphere of the home be one of incentive and enco-uragement. If the youth gets no encouragement to work on, and to win, from the home, but is allowed to plod on, and to apply himself or herself only when he or she is so inclined, there will not be much progress. In many cases, we must be driven at the beginning, but, as we proceed, our interest increases, and welearn to enjoy a certain pursuit, when we had to be forced to begin it. When we get discour- aged, it is natural ,we should turn to the home for en- couragement, an-d, if we fail to receive it there, we often lose all interest, and forever fall short of the goaltoward which we were toiling. , Q Probably the greatest element, in this early period, is our school life. In this, weare, or' ought to be, pre- pared for our active life.

If We have. cultivated our minds, we will be able to see both the right and wrong side of a question, and, if our moral natures have been sufficiently strengthened, we will be a le to decide for the right, and to live out our decision. The broa ening of our mental vision should have enabled us to live with more of a spirit of human- ity, and to come closer into the lives of others. In this Way, We will make life worth living, not only for our- selves, but for all with whom we are thrown. If we have learned to see the beauty in life, our lives must be beautiful, and, by beautiful living, we are preparing for the life to come-the great eternity. If we have gained an understanding of lives, and the characters of great men and women, an how they coped with the great trials and problems of life, we have something to guide us in our decisions. If we have seen the consequences of Wrong and right actions, in our lives, we will avoid' the wrong. Since we have seen the mistakes in the charac- ters and governments of the past, we can avoid similar mistakes in our own characters and government. If we always keep before us the examples, set by such charac- ters as a Washington and a Franklin, we must make our lives high. Such lives as these, although we never reach the ideal, lead us upward. If we make the proper use of our knowledge, our lives will not be failures. When every period of life has been ne of perfect preparation and execution, then the life will have been truly lived, an we may th-en feel that we have made the most of our advantages.

For how can one who has not yet reached the heights of the Alumni discuss such .ja dis- tant and unknown subject? ,Yet it was one, without the bounds of this organization, who had to write an article about it, so I racked my brain for something to write that would not display my ignorance of the topic, and that would be interesting to the members of the Alumni. But, alas! my brain refuse tolwork -on such a stupendous un- dertaking, so one night .I about decided to give up all attempts at writing on this subject. Q I dreamed of all kinds of. wonderful th-ings taking place in the Alumni that night, when suddenly there ap- peared an apparition. It was tall, thin, and pointed a long, bony finger at me with, such a dire, threateninglook that I trembled with fear. The apparition began speaking in a terrible voice: Ah! so you would banish me from the realm of your mind, so you would neglect me and let me remain hidden and forsaken. I am your memory, whom you have insulted by refusing to listen to, and to treat with respect. One more chance will I give you to redeem yourself for the injuries which you have inflicted upon me., I will help you out of your trouble, if you will prom- ise to heed and respect me in the future. I quickly acquiesced, glad to appease this fearful being, an to be helped out of my diliiculties. Then, said Memory, pro- ducing a ponderous volume, this is my journal. Look through it, and worryrno more. I eagerly took the book and looked on Mem0ry's leaves. First I noticed a page With the heading: Wed- dings, and underneath this list of Alumni members who have married: 1 A Anna Langhorn, class of 1893, now married to Mr. F. Nall. Lena Ehle, class of 1897, now Mrs. Edward Workman. Lee Buchanan, class of 1901, now Mrs. Oscar Mindrup.

When I finished I fully intended going to the University, but I did not go, and not having a personal interest an- other school, I have kept up my interest in' my Alma Mater and have taken great pleasure in watching her progress, which has been greatly augmented by the Class of '06. Nothing of good that has been introduced -by other classses has been neglected by them, and they have done their share in introducing new ideas and enterprises. i The athletic movement is, I think, of especial value to the school. It has done much to increase the school spirit, which is of so great importance to any school. It has brought the whole school membership into more per- sonal contact, and has made the school and its success and welfare of more 'moment thanfheretofore. This pride is much akin to patriotism, and patriotism is th-e bedrock ofgou-r national greatness. This school pride has not been confined to the members of the school, but has extended into the homes and among the business men of our town. If a school expects the citizens to take an interest in her, she must first take an interest in herself. She must neces- sarily look to the people for her support, and if she desires more than ordinary, she must prove that she is worthy. Prove that a gymnasium is needful, or that laboratory' equipments are necessary, and the means will be forthcom- ing. Other schools have done this and so can the Inde- pendence High School.

This year 'for theiiirst time -the In ependence High School entered the annual track meet held at Columbia, Mo. Because we were not sure of getting pirates until the day before the meet, the crowd from I. H. S. was much smaller than it would otherwise have been. Our party ofaboutptwenty went in two., divisions. The girls andwtwo of the boys left Kansas City at 8:30 o'clock in the morning and reached Columbia at about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. This gave them an op- portunityof viewing the town and the different build- ings of the University. Everything was looking 'beau- tiful. The six columns which are almost reverenced by the students, and the buildings were overrun with wood ivy, thus enhancing their natural beauty. The students of agriculture rendered their building even more attrac- tive by this sign: Every boy a farmer g every girl a farmeris wife. S A y A That evening the whole town went tothe depot to meet the night train. The place was literally' packed, andait seemed as if there was little room for the train. We had to wait along time for it, andthe different schools rivaled each -other in seeing which could give their yell the loudest. The University students got to- gether and sang their school songs. As the strains of O, Missouri, fairpllffifsouri, dear old 'varsity, floated out on the air, the bcys removed their hats in token of the honor and respect they bore their school. H 7 At last the train pulledgin. Our boys, chaperoned by Miss Stoner, were on it, ut in such a crowd it was absolutely impossible to find them. Butthey were wel- comed by the students of the University, who saw that they had a place to stay. I I The next day will n-ever be forgotten by us. Only a few of the things we did can be mentioned here. In the morning Westport's baseball team defeated Yeatman High School of St. Louis on,Rollins Fieldy At noon the band gave a ,concert on the campus, and then lunch- eon was served in Academic Hall. It was ,then time for the track- meet. Long before the hour of th-e .meet the bleachers were full an-d the people were crowding ,around the fence that enclosed the field. Ittis impostsibule to describe the meet, for so much was going onat the same time that it wasealmost impossible to see it all. The pole vaulting was pere haps the most beautiful thin-g on, the field., though, of ,5.ng5a:.....-1' 'l'Hn. -GLEAM. 99 course, we weremost in-terested in the contests our b ys were entered ing Spur eon Campbell tried for the high jump against twenty-seven. Imagine our pride when he came out third! He di fine work, and if he had had the proper training he might have got first, Ottis Smith, too, aroused our pride by winning third place in the hammer thr w. With practice we hope to seefVOttis.take at least first or second place next year. blames Di'ckinson,,eHerschel Smith and I. D. Robin- son went up against the hardest odds. The relay race is about the most difficult contest to win. However, they made a good- showing and we expect to ,see them do much better next year. Procter Thompson managed the team admirably and its success is largely due to him. The meet lasted until about 5 o'clock and then t-he medals were presented. We felt very proud, indeed, when Spurgeon and Ottis received their me als, though the yell we sent up provoked' only smiles. Nevertheless Weare proud of our record this year. Gut of twenty! four high schools that conteste in the meet, Independ- ence won seventh place. This is the first time our school has entered the track meet, and we feel proud that our boys won two medals. I ' The University boys from Independence did all they could to show us a good time, and we certainly had one, too. Saturday night our party went to the dance given for visitors in Academic Hall.. We also visited th-e golf links, the new gymnasium and the Engineering building, besides taking in the 'town itself. We left Columbia Sunday morning at 9:30. At.Centralia we took the Red Flyer and reached Independence at 4 o'clock in theaft- ernoon. Next year, if our track team practices well, We will take' one of the first places in the meet. As many of the pupils as possible. should go with the team, too, for the University students will show them a good time and make it a trip long to be remembered by them. I L. F. D. THE. UfNllVERSlTY GIRLS. In the earlier hi-story of our University there Was a time when to be a girl studentlmeant to have just about the same -freedom as the boarding school miss. Long since, however, the'troublsome chaperone was found use- less and discarded and in her stead there is now an adviser of women who helps the girls 'to find suitable boarding houses, advises them in regard to any difficulty about which they may consult her, and tries by various means to lQJ'l'll'1hgjthS'IM in closer touch with one another. When there are as many as 370 'girls in school, opportunity is given for considerable social acquaintance. Read Hall, the girl's dormitory, does a great deal towards this. Here sixty girls meet at the tables three times a day and after the dinner hour spend some time in dancing. Then there are 'monthly recezptions given at the hall for all University girls. . ' 100 g 1 9 THE GLEAM. . The Y. W. C. A., of which about two thirds of the girls are members, probably does more than any one organ- ization. It helps new students to enter, gives an after- noon reception to them early in the semester and every year a Hallowe'en frolic, usually a V 'ifancy dress e affair. Last year it wasa reproduction of the Pike, this year a childrenfs party, audwhat ever else it may be, lt is always amusing. Then there is the annual May Day picnic out on the golf links given under the supervision of the Alp a Phi Signa. a society of Senior girls, Besides all these Qthere are many other ways in which the Missouri gi1'l may fill up her leisure hours. The ath- letic girl plays basket ball, tennis, and golf. there are al- ways dances and parties to go to and on the whole it is generally harder to find time to do everything than to find something to do. r I Because they End so many' means of amusement doeslnt prove that they are lax along more serious lines, however. The honorary Fraternity, Phi Beta Kappa, to which a certain per cent of the Senior class is elected each year, has on an average an many girls as boys, and the amount of pleasure secured in the various ways only serves as a needed relaxation from the teduim of study. . MAUDE MCCORMICK, AAOADAM. '06. EX. y V Literary Life at The University. .Disregardilng clubs and societies, the surest evidences of literary life in a college are found in its sludenet publi- cations. rOf course almost everybody in a university makes some attempt to dabble in literature, but fortuately perhaps, not all of these efforts get into print. 'Tue University of Missouri is fortunate in the number and standing of her publications. She now has one annual, tjhree monthlies, one 'quarterly,1 one weekly, and several lesser irregular publications. The annual is The Savitarv published the last of May each year by the Junior classes. It is one of the best annuals published by any college in -the Middle West. It is a better book than the ones sent ou-t by our neighboring state universities and compares very favorably with those of the East. The Asterisk is the magazine published by The Asterisks, a literary society composed of seven young men- in the Unive1'sity. It is a representive magazine, using stories ,and articles from many ,students outside the club, and from the professors. It is always printed on a line grade of paper and contains from forty-eight to sixty- four pages. 'The Asterisk ,has been commented on favorably 'by such big literature magazines of the East as The Critief' ' . 3 F e Ovenn is a monthly magazine devoted to humor and stands on' a par with funny publicatsons such as 'fThe Cornell Widow, Princeton Punchborwl,7' and Columbia J esuterf' It is, well illustrated and is a clever publi-catien in all respects. The illustrations and jokes are done by the students. ' The Alnm-uni Q,uart'erly 'is the o ucial organ of the e --V:-N ---- , ' MN f - . .
