There is a Word spelled out in learningis light, The beacon-torch of youth, it's promise bright Has made the world a place where all may climb ' Toward heights by great men reached, those heights sublime VVhere poets sleep, wherecstatesmen rest in peace, Where warriors bold haye sought and found surcease From battles won, and scenes of bloody War. The height is Fame, the word that goes before, And forms the stepping-stones thatreach Fame's door, Is Opportunity, the shield in strife, The armor of the youth through all his life. To thee, thou magic word. thou star of Hope, That givest us the power to strongly cope Witli dragons and with chimeras that rise And belch their fiery thunders to the skies, To thee, who never hast mankind forsook And never will, we dedicate this book.

Q enior Class of the Independence High School, do solemnly affirm to all leant.. of this article, that upon this page, is set forth a true but abbreviated history of the Class of 1908. 4 'Wfhen we entered the High School as Freshmen, we were, as Freshmen always are, very young and tender and green. Of course, we weren't aware of this fact at first, but the upper classes deemed it a sin to allow us to wander around through the Independence I-Iigh School in such a state of blissful ignorance, so Cas all you who have been Freshmen can readily understandj our illusions as to our greatness were soon dispelled. That is, they were dispelled as far as the otherclasses were concerned, but we-well, we always did have rather a good opinion of the class of 'O8. In spite of our Freshmen trials and tribulations our first year in the High School passed quickly by, and the next September we children became known to our friends as 'fthe Sophomores. In our Sophomore year we naturally felt much more important, especially after we became a properly organized class. After gaining the right to be called, in the most formal sense of the word, the Class of l908, we looked about for some other great deed to perform. I-Iowever, there was nothing for us to distinguish ourselves in except our studies, but in these, as in all else, we readily displayed our brilliant powers. Indeed, we succeeded to the extent that the teachers were all led into sagely predicting great OD things for us. As Sophs, we had thought we were important, but as juniors, we knew ourselves to be so. Therefore being blessed with a certain amount of optim- ism, we managed to remain pretty well satisfied with ourselves in spite of the few contrary opinions occasionally given voice to by the other classes. The two great events of our Junior year were our class picnic, and the reception which we gave in honor of the Seniors. Each was voted a grand success, and both will long be remembered as two of the very brightest spots in our High School life. At the beginning of this year, our class once more assembled in the halls of the High School building and this time assumed as -ours the title of Seniors. It hardly seemed possible at first that we had really reached the dignified sta- tion which as Freshmen we had been in awe of, as Sophs we had admired, and as Juniors we hadlonged for. VVe confess that so much dignity weighs rather heavily on our shoulders at times, but at least we have always tried to look learned and wise when occasion demanded it. The end of our happy years spent in our beloved I-Iigh School is at hand, but we know that we will ever remember these years with pleasure and that we will always be proud to 'be known as a member of 'EllC class of i08l -P. J. '08, 32 THE GLEAM GBM ilHawrnt What shall we choose for a mascot? This is a question which sooner or later confronts the members of every organization. A mascot, in the general sense of the word, is a thing, animate or inami- nate, which is supposed to bring good luck or fortune to its possessor. But We, the class of '08, in choosing our mascot, stepped aside from the beaten path, and selected what we considered w-ould typify the main characteristics of the class as a' whole. V ' At the first meeting, called for that purpose, it seemed as though the en- thusiastic members had selected a whole menagerie of birds and animals. Some thought we should choose the magpie, as suggestive of our noisy con- versations, others, the dove, as typical of our quiet, gentle natures, others, the eagle, since we are such an all-important organization and are feared, yet re- spected by all other similar bodies. Again, some wanted the Teddy-bear, others the baby-elephant, -for stepped-ont, and still another member sug- gested the bee,- for stung After considering these and many other birds and animals, the class, by its united action, was unable to decide upon any on-e thing, and so it was moved that we should have a longer time to consider so grave a matter, and the class adjourned. ' After having spent a number of days in reconsideringthe matter, a second class meeting was called. At this meeting the members sat for a long time silent, as though waiting for some spirit to move them, when at length some- one suggested that we choose the parrot, since we, like the parrot, talk when We should be silent and are silent when we ought to talk. This set the ball rolling, and, after many heated discussions, the Burro was chosen by a very un-unanimous vote. We chose this little animal because it is not only suggestive of very hard, diligent work, but, when imposed upon too much, it kicks, likewise do We, but our kicking is of no avail, except that it often brings us more work. WVe fear We may be censured by the Juniors for robbing them of their mascot, given them by Prof. Bryant in their Freshman year, but, in choosing the Burrofor ours, we endeavored to carry out that unselhsh principle, First come, first served? -T.

' Epoch Iz- - ' And, as we glance back through the dim ages of our checkered career, when in the roles of Freshmen and Sophomores Cstages of development really necessary to the perfection of the youthb, we fain would smile, it all seems amusing now. How can we imagine that those blooming h'infants of ye bygone days were our present glorious selves? It was a laughable class, one of the many occasions it took to exhibit this sterling quality was when, at the competition for the reading medal, it did itself proud by permitting those precocious sub-Freshmen Ca totally ignored and unthought-of source of dangerj to calmly bear off the prize. All this to our immense discomfiture and chagrin. Thus endeththe first chapter of our High School career. . COh yes! I forgot to add, in connection with our Freshman life, that we organized in the early part -of the year, this being a heretofore unprecedented departure-a Freshman class organizing!j I Epoch II:- , And an inexciting one. But little can be said of our doings as Sopho- moresg the history-making propensities of thefglass at large seems to have lain dormant, or else to have been at a very low ebb. 'For time slid tamely by, and we slid as tamely, or possibly a little more so, to that distant, hazy goal-a junior existence. ' , However, one can say that, in this year and the previous year as well, our class held a memorable and highly enjoyable picnic-this, after the close of school. I . Cometh thus to an uneventful close, etc., etc. Epoch III :- . 'Ol'1! Oh! can it be possible ? Surely I am dreaming! -these and simi- lar ejaculations, in delightedly awed whispers, from the late Sophomores Qusj upon their accession to the throne of comparative greatness and discreti-on Ci. e., comparative with reference to the Seniors,j-viz., to-wit, Iuniorhood. Pnconciously, then, they imbibed a blissful sense of power and assumed the grand swagger, both of which they were long in recovering from, Pih! what an eventful year opens. First in the innumerable train of electrifying occurences was the raising of the Flag by the juniors, ftheir own Hag,j on the pole outside. Scarce recovered from this, and engaged in blindly following the example, were the other classes, when lo! one morning N TI-IE GLEAM 35 in the clear autumn air blazed forth from the chimneys above, in snow-White characters, the significant inscription-'O9. But, alas! not long did our ela- tion last, for one afternoon, subsequent to calling a meeting of the juniors, Prof. Bryant confidentially told us that they fthe lettersj umst come down. Ah! dear reader, down they did come! ' Things progressed tamely again then, for an interminably weary interval, until into our fertile brains stole another idea of ideas-viz., class pins. As a direct result, we held a meeting, members were becoming slightly bois- terous, as the discussion grew more and more heated, when- enter Prof. Bry- ant: You must be quieter, or I shall have to deny you the privilege of hold- ing any meetings whatever, was his memorable verdict. So Finally, in con- formity with the requirement for less noise, we decided upon our emblem. W'e have the pins now, and on the deadu they're primef Nothing further, we believe, remains of the pathetic tale to be recorded. And now, gentle and indulgent reader, we would ask of you, in mutual confi- dence, can you not see what a class full of promise ours is? Its record is one of continual and unbroken rise, is it not? lY,es. Well then, we say, look for- ward a little,-wait, just wait, oh wait, till we are Seniors! , -G. E. W., lO9.

It approached with relentless rapidity, with all the force of a whirlwind, giving the alarmed and distracted pupils n-o time for flight . 'A 'Arriving at the school, it rushed up the front steps till it reached the first floor, there it stopped, suddenly losing its velocity, an dassumed the demure- ness of a itten. The pupils gathered eagerly around to learn the cause of the terrible catastrophe which had arrived in their l'11ldSt4-tllfill it was that they discovered the Subs. A Yes, we the Subs had come on them unexpectedly, but nevertheless were met with the most wonderful advances on the part of all. Wfe were called the endearing terms of Subs, Dubs, Stubs, and even Scrubs. W'e were assignf ed to sit in front of the post. lVe could never discern the reason of this, No? However, it was but the w-ork of a few days ere we had mustered our forces and were progressing with the ease and activity of life-long residents. Our diplomacy was shown in approaching our teachers, but, of all, Mr. Bryant, To us was first allowed the privilege of organizing while we still were Fresh- men, As our colors, we chose Yale blue and white, and for our flower, the white carnation. Likewise we rendered programs every Tuesday morning to the peevish and criticising public, but were soon overwhelmed by their applause. QThe public is so appreciativej . Thus our triumphs continued in .quick succession throughout the half year and into -our Freshman year, till we received the blow from which we have never recovered. Wlith little 'pomp and ceremony, it was announced to us that our half year had counted nothing. Our feelings were not considered in the slightest. VVe would not be allowed to split the term. Wfe do not know who was to blame for the miscalculation which sent us over here in the middle of the term, but each one, down deep in the bottom of his heart, still has a sneaky little feeling that he has not been ,treated exactly square. A But time is a great physician, and we hope that maybe, in the near future, we will recover from the wrong thrust upon us, and make our exit with 'as happy and easy a manner as when we first entered.

Although some of the studies of the High School course are compulsory, the study of such languages as are taught here-Latin and German-is elect- ive, consequently, each year there is much discussion among the enrolling Freshmen as to whether they shall or shall not take Latin or German. And it seems that each year the number of students taking these courses grows smaller. VVhy this is, it is hard to understand, but it must be that they do not comprehend the value of these studies. But the fact of the case is that a knowledge of these languages is a magic key which admits the bearer into the realms of the most interesting, highest and best in the W-orld.' Of course, the old theory was that Ureadin' '1-itin! and 'rithmetic should comprise an education, but why should we merely learn to read what is in our language-and some of us do that none too well-when there are other things in the realm of Literature just as beautiful, and when a Way is offered us to be able, with little effort, to enjoy it. Many pupils do not object seriously to studying the German language be- cause it is easy and in common use, while Latin has the reputation of being hard and it is considered useless, since it is a dead language. In whatever way Latin gained this reputation, the idea that it is hard, is a grossly erroneous one. Latin is simple. All that is necessary to enable one to read the Latin classics in the original is a course in grammar such as is furnished in every first year Latin course. lfVith this foundation the rest fol- lows easily, naturally. Even if the first year of Latin were hard, who would miss all the advant- ages that follow' the mastery of Latin grammar, just for a little extra work one year? Who would sacrifice the accuracy, the skill in grammatical struc- ture, the knowledge of the etymology of words and the added retentive powers of the mind? More, who would sacrifice the privilege of burrowing about in Latin classics for beauties unknown in English? VVhat hero-worshiper is there whose soul is not thrilled at hearing the accounts Caesar gives of his many exploits? VVho is so dull as not to be stirred by Cicero's thrilling, burn- ing orations? Cr who would miss the story of the Trojan War, the Fall of Troy, the subsequent wandering of Aeneas, his 'trips to Hades, and his final establishment of Rome, as it is so delightfully told in Vergil's Aenead ? ' It is to be sincerely hoped that in the near future every pupil will begln in his freshman year and take the full course in Latin. And, more, that soon we will have a course in Italian, the language of the Sunny South, and Span- ish-which is said to be the most musical and beautiful language in the world. 1. 1.

It is not only beneficial to an artist, but to an architect, a' mechanic, and to a de- signer. 'It enables everyone who studies it to appreciate real art, and it gives -one an artistic taste and culture, which always is noticeable in their personality. This department of the Independence H-igh School consists of a large, well-lighted studio, which is -conveniently equipped for the work, and an excellent instructor has been provided bythe Board of Education. 'The average number of pupils who take the art course is about one-fifth, and the studio can very easily accommodate more. lt is strange that the boys are in the minority in this department. They should not allow this to be true, but should takevup this work, for it will be of great advantage to them in whatever profession they enter. The world's greatest artists have been men, not womenf , , ' The course in the High School is a good foundation on which to build. In the different departments of the school medals are awarded to the one ranking highest. Mr. Benjamin Sturges has offered a medal for the best collection of art work. It is always appreciateed by the one whowins it. The pupils of this school may well be proud of their studio, which is equal to any in the High 'Schools of our country. They should all grasp this great opportunity offered them, and next year enter the new studio resolved to do their very best. C, E, Hu '08, Just be glad, ' .

T H E G L E A M 47 illllaihvmaiiru. In our High School course the three fundamental studies are literature, mathematics and history. It has been recognized by nearly all High Schools that literature is the chief study and the study to which most attention and time should be given. Next in order and importance stands mathematics, which in one sense is a more beneficial study than literature. .Mathematics is not a culture study, as literature is, but, on the other hand, literature is not a mind-developing and practical study as mathematics has proved itself to be. You can scarcely name an article that is not in some way connected with mathematics: from bread-making in the kitchen, in which you have to measure each ingredient in- proportion to the othersfto the com- plicated architectural vvork of planning and constructing immense buildings. It is a recognized fact throughout the world that the greatest and most Far- reaching result of a mathematical study is 'the acuteness and accuracy of the mind. 'This is, of course, caused by two particular facts: mathematics in any form is really the repetition of the theory of numbers, letters or lines, com- monly called arithmetic, algebra or geometry, which may be given in values of 10, 20, 50, or x,, y, z, or sign, tangent and secant, and because all 1nathe- matical conceptions are abstract. By repetition the mind is made more accur- ateg by dealing with an abstract subject the mind becomes more acute. It is to these conceptions of the mind that we owe all of our gratitude for our many beneficial inventions. , . A Most students find mathematics a difficult study to master, because it seems as if they are given so little to work with and are required to find so much, but it is this- particular phase of mathematics that makes it such a bene- Iicial study. It is not the simple problems, but the long, complicated con- srtuctions which you have to ponder upon and master for yourselfthat are of unbounded value to you. Why? ABecause, asf said before, it develops the mind and makes it more capable of grasping quickly and firmly all problems which are placed before it in future life. ' For these reasons and for many others, ,which I have neither time,nor space to give, mathematics will always prove itself valuable and worthy of a prominent position in schools, colleges and universities.

It is beneficial because it is practical and gives the student a knowledge which he can apply in every-day life. This study creates within the pupil an investigative spirit, and he has a desire to look into the laws of nature and learn more of her mysterious workings. One also is iniiamed with the desire to ascertain- the truths previously established and in doing so im presses the laws upon the mind, besides. But it is not necessary to discuss why science is taught, as that is well known to all. The reader would doubt- less be more interested in how it is taught in our High School. The course in science is not an extensive one, yet it includes most of the branches taught in any High School: physiology, physical geography, Zoology, 'biology and physics. These subjects are thoroughly mastered .under the direc- tion of a competent instructor, and they forma most excellent foundation for the more advanced work in the line of science. Physics is the highest branch taught, and belongs in the course for the senior year. There are three class recitations of one period each a week. The class is divided into two sections for laboratory work, each section hav- ing one double period and one single period a week. The laboratory is a large room, strongly lighted and well equipped for experimental work. The vv-ork is done on large tables, which are fitted with electrical and gas connec- tions. The apparatus is kept in a large storeroom, opening off the laboratory. Over S200 worth of apparatus was added to the supply this year, making the total value at present about 55700. In the experimental work the pupil followsthe directionof the manual, the experiments being assigned by the instructor so as to include those necessary for the State University requirementg thus an ample opportunity is offered to all those desiring an elementary knowledge of science.

One of the most interesting' departments of our High School is the Manual Training, which consists of instruction in mechanical drawing a11d woodwork. - ' - b The pupils are required to make an accurate drawing of the models they make in the workshop. The .first models, made were the bench hook and the ruler, which were used as tools'during the year. The remainder of the first half of the year was spent in doing' joinerrywork. Among' the models were the halved-cornered, the Tee-joint, the halved cross and the glue-joint, 'made into a bread cutting board.

A class motto is supposed to be an expression of an ideal-that at which the class would aim-that which it would attain. Wfith this view, we chose as our motto Low- ellis inspiring words, Prove now thy truth. Character and ideals are the two important factors in the proving of oneys truth. VVith the development of this idea, will come the realization that there is great necessity for placing high thc standard of these two factors in the early years of life. The reason for this is that while yet the world appears rose- tinted, character begins to assume its permanent shape and color, and the young are Wont to take their course for time and for eternity. The higher the ideals, the nobler the character. , The world is filled With idealists and is made beautiful through ideals. Christ was the Idealist ,Beautiful and all lovers of, and strivers for the true, the beautiful, and the good, look to Him as the supreme ideal, embodying in Him- self all noble ideals. All true poets, composers, painters, and sculptors, are idealists, for they cherish in their hearts true and beautiful things, the expres- sion of which is given in their worl-is. Man is known by his works-by that which he accomplishes--so it is important for him to live up to the highest of ideals, thus proving his truth in all things. If mistakes are used as stepping stones to higher things, the ideal and the actual world may be brought very close together. Emerson's Hitch your wagon to a star, is only another way of saying that high ideals should be aimed at and kept. I Remembering these things, we have chosen. Prove now thy truth, as a motto which we can keep ever with us and which will help us in attaining all that is best and noblest in life. ' P. M. J., '08, , Pleasures are like poppies spread, You sieze the flower, the bloom is shed: Or, like the snow falls on the river, A moment white then melts forever: Or like the borealis race That Hits e'er you can point the placeg Or like the shadows lovely form Vanishing amid the storm. -Robert Burns. 2 2 Y 1 E 3 . 1 l 2 l l v Ic.l1o No 1 T H E G I.

Cell contends with cellg individual with individual, tribe with tribeg nation with nation. The ceaseless struggle for supremacy is in accord with nature's plan, and the result of the contest must be the survival of the Httestf' Either assimilation or destruction awaits the vanquished. NrVhile we realize that this law of contention, first for existence, next for supremacy, is universal, it is of more general interest, perhaps, as illustrated in the higher forms of life. Man is born to endeavor. As he was driven forth from Eden the fiat of Jehovah spoke his condemnation, In the sweat of they face shalt thou eat bread. Heat and cold, rain and tempest, drouth and famine, disease and death, have opposed his effort only to reveal in him increased power and intelligence as a result of opposition on the part of these natural forces. VVhen we regard the magnitude of human achievement and the heights to which man has climbed in his struggle to subdue and divert to his purposes the forces residing in matter, we are ,impressed that a spark of divinity must have been permitted to follow and reside with him when ejected from the Garden- in the anger of God. The physical growth attained without encounter with opposing forces. is not sound. To be strong and hardy, the plant or animal must come in con- tact with the enemies to its development and life. In no other way can its power of resistance be cultivated so as to render it capable of self-protection and self-support. Muscle hardens and grows strong only by repeated exercise against opposing force. The athlete attains the maximum of power and endurance only after long and severe training and repeated trials of skill. Among savage nations he is chief who has established his claim to leadership by proving his supremacy in every contest with his tribesmen. ' The field of discovery and invention affords remarkable examples of suc- cessful combats of human endeavor and courage against ignorance, prejudice and scholastic bigotry. Galileo. Columbus, Newton, Franklin, stand forth conspicuously among the exponents of world-progress, and as great leaders in the struffffle of man for the subjugation of natural forces. Superstition and bb . dogma are continuing to retreat before the power of reason and enlightenment. 56 Tl-113 GLEAM The knights of old won their spurs, in part, by feats of strength and valor for which they were fitted by the severest tests of discipline and co.1rage. But the guerdon, of knighthood required of the acolyte a greater conquest than that over external forces. It was necessary that he bring under the subjection of his2will.all the passions of the soul before he was deemed capable of perform- ing his 'knightly vows. Self-conquest was the price demanded for the high honors .and the grave responsibilities of knighthood. 'That discipline which will secure for you the full control of your own powers, my young friends -of the class of 1908, is the weapon you will need to encounter successfully the opposition of external forces.

I VVill some one please tell me what all this chattering means F asked julia from the couch, where she had been reading when the girls came in. It's positively absurd.

'Stubby' Waring selected little Nancy Batterton for forward on our basket-ball team, for the big Game nezrt Wednesday with the Terris Hill girls. She's so small, and everybody knows Terris Hill has the strongest team in years. Why couldn't she have been a sub? She'd be good there. Margaret helped herself to the fudge crumbs left from last night, as she ended. The bell for mathematics rang and the girls scattered in very direction. Things went on as usual, except that basket-ball practice was harder as Wednesday drew nearer. An occasional comment was heard as f'Stubby and Nancy came into the gym. It would be judged from the name Stubby that she was small, but she was tall, gloriously tall-a magnificent basket-ball bb la er. e P yAt last the great day arrived. The teams trotted to their places. 'Stub- by grasped both of Nancyls hands in a grip like iron and whispered fiercely, l'Don't'luse your head. Play yer best. Think what it means to ourn. Nancy's small chin stiffened and her big, brown eyes sought Stubby's.', They seemed to say, For your sake I'll do my best. H The ball was in acti-on. The Terris Hill centre' sent it to her forward. The forward very coolly tossed the ball over the head of her guard, into the basket. Two to nothing,-the ball in school court. Little Nancy Batterton threw the ball to the basket. It rolled around the rim and then, and then- dropped into the arms of the Hill guard. A long-drawn Oh went round the gym while the Hill girls, screamed delightedly.

Appreciative of great things and high ldeals, he will not only recognize greatness, but will even worship it. just so, he will see it in other men who are considered great, and worship the same in them. He will worship the hero, the world wide hero, one who has not only made himself great, but whom fame has made immortal, or he will worship an individual hero, a man who is a hero for him alone, whose he'ro- ism is not of the whole worldbut of an individual world. But just what is this hero worship? Carlyle says it is heartfelt, prostrate admiration, sub- mission burning boundless for the noblest God-like form of man. It cannot be expressed better. Thus we see that the admiration of a hero worshiper for his hero is not only deep and sincere but humble and submissive, his submission, not only ab- solute but complete in ardent feeling. If he admires a man at all, it is not worth while unless he does so with sincerity, if he subjugates himself to him at all, it is done nobly, in complete submission. How then did it come to be? Wfhere and of what was it born? That we cannot say. Xhfe only know that hhero-worship exists, has existed and shall forever exist universally among mankindf' In Paganism, where things ma- terial and visible were worshiped, they worshiped their leaders, their heroes. This is about as near as they ever came to anything like the Invisible Good- ness. Among the ancient Greeks, too, was hero-worship particularly noted. They' placed their' heroes among the Gods and worshiped them. In truth, their Gods were merely unseen heroes. Again, we find hero worship among themselves. Alexander the Great worshiped Achilles as his hero. Caesar was a hero to Brutus, or Brutus would not have deemed him powerfully great enough to be killed. Perhaps wc have even greater examples than those,-the general and his army. How have Cromwell, Napoleon and VVashington been idolized and worshiped by their men! How they have been trusted by those 'brave followers who go with their leaders-their heroes-to victory or death! So, as hero worship has existed, it exists today in as great and as inestim- able a number. YVith such a vast multitude -of heroes of the past, added to those of the present, hero worship is unavoidable. Only a blind man would fail to see and recognize a hero, only a deaf man would fail to -hear of his great- ness, power and sublimity. Heroes are still worshiped. Is not the twenty- second of February annually celebrated by a great 112-'fiO11? Have the heroes of Valley Forve and Gettysburg been forgotten? But not only does nation 5 I l k t the worship, the individual man has an equal share. VX e cannot oo in o heart of everyone and see who is hero there, but we know one is, or ought to be, there.

A NV0lSl1113CCl he1o SCtS l'l - TIAE GLEAXI example points out a goal makes the aim m-ore definite. I-le helps to create 'rn ideal or he is the ideal.

Subjects for discussion and great moral truths may be derived from every great piece of literature. The literature artist is the one who imbeds these thoughts deep in his work. They are not self-evidentg the reader must dis- cover them for himself. Hawthorne recognized this fact. He said' that to make a moral truth self-evident was to stiffen the effect of the whole, just as, when a butterfly is impaled on a pin, its beauty is marred. Lowell also practised the same principle. But Shakespeare may be especially mentioned here. His plays' are, as a rule, based on one principal truth, but countless others may be gained by study. This is noticeably true in liis Merchant of Venice , it is one of its chief charms. And one subject chosen from the many in this play might be that of precept and example. First, to define these two words exactly.-Precept is an order, command, or statement for guidance and obedience. A minister uses precept when he advocates certain religious principles. This becomes example when the man himself lives up to them. Example may then be defined as the acting upon or putting to practice of a promulgated theory or truth. It is the establishing of a precedent or pattern. jesus taught principles of which He Himself was the very personification 5 he lived what he advocated. Examples of Christianity to- day are lamentably few. Men do not make their lives conform to their prin- ciples. The difference in the two then is: that precept is the stating, and ex- ample the carrying out, of a principle or principles. But-why distinguish? Let us consider for a moment the influence of the two, for here the real test lies. 1 ' Precept glowsg example warms. The camp-tire on an artist's canvas may glow, but the real wood fire gives forth heatg so with precept and example. One effective illustration of the lack of real florce in a precept is to be found in the causes of the Revolution. England laid down requirements or restrictions for America that were directly opposed to the principles of English liberty. England was a free country, but had not yet learned that the tyranny of a free people is of all tyrannies. the least to be enduredf, But America knew this, and rebelledg here precept failed. And yet-coming back to our subject- man's mind is finite: it inheres to something sensible. Wfhich leaves the deep- er impression, the statement of a truth, or its enactment?-the latter, of course. The monks of the early Roman church believed'this: and in order to impress abstract truths on the minds of their people, they originated what we call the moralities, -plays in which the abstract became the concreteg they used ex- ample. Or,-using more common illustrations,-in the courts of different nations is not the tone of that court determined by the example of the iuler. Gr, Vvhy dld Caesar have such powei ovei his soldieis. Because he was an ' - . - ' tl ideal example, He ordered, but lived his oideis. To his men, he WHS le TI- E GLEAM soldier. Why is Vlfashington the standard whereby to measure ffreat 0'cner- als?

The elements exerting a segregating influence on humanity do not eman- ate-from the soul, there are lust and jealousy, which are purely animal, and which make men loathedg and there are hypocrisy and ambition, which are purely intellectual, and which make men feared. But on the other hand, there are love and friendship, which bind together the human race with a golden chain: tllcse are purely psychological. Indeed, love is the very food of the soul: and friendship is only a broad synonym for love. Sympathy is at once progenitor and offspring of friendshipg the one, be- cause it is sympathy that forms friendships from common perils, common des- -tinies, common ideals, or-common idiosyncraciesg the other, for he who does not sympathize with his friends will soon have none. No one devoid of sym- pathy will make friends. Your cold. calculating genius may become politic- ally, 1'eligiously or scientifically a hero, but socially he stands and always will stand aloof, one who, like an oil-painting, is best criticised from a distance, or like the sun, which must be examined through smoked glass. He has Hatter- ers whom he calls friends, and enemies whom he calls admirers. Generosity, being akin to sympathy, is also missing, and the gifts that he rains upon his sycophantic satellites are given with a. mercenary motive, and they know it. The only bond here possible is the desire and ambition of the man, and the greed and avarice of his friends, So it is seen that sympathy and his twin- brother generosity are the pioneers whose duty it is to blaze a trail for the smooth progress of Friendship, for Friendship can make no headway through a jungle of petty passions and narrow, selfish ideals. H j . An appreciation of the company of a friend is necessary, in order to enjoy itg and to properly appreciate it, it is essential to exchange thoughts. ideas, and emotions with him, to recognize and value his aspirations and idealsg for he is not a friend with whom one may simply discuss the probabilities of rain, or the aids to a good complexion. And just as sympathetic and generous na- tures quickly make friends, so also are those friends in the most marked degree the most intimate and inseparable. ' 'lfhis must not be construed into meaning that similar natures are the most loving ones. for they are not. There is usually a much firmer weld be- tween characters which can be contrasted than between comparable ones 5-for in the latter case, one sees in his friends his own image, and sometimes he is gladdened, but oftener he is displeased: whereas in the former case he wor- ships in his friend that which he has not. Knowing that he has it not, he re- cognizes in its absence a defectg and, in hopes of a remedy, he -2f1'1vCS to imitate all the little and most noticeable peculiarities of his friend. This inten- tional imitation Often bl-1110-Q good results: but it induces unconscious imita- bn' 1, . . . . tion Xvhjch is lwt Q0 Well' for one who is involuntarily imitative usually , f . 1 ' w 64 THE GLEAM adopts as his own not only the most trivial, but even the most unenviable idiosyncracies. If one's friend deems it manly to smoke a cigar, one must also Smoke one, and preferably the same brand. If your chum wears a blase and weary sneer in church, that is the proper thing for you to do. Thus powerful is the influence of a friend. A A L On the other hand, there is the subtler interchanging of ideals which is the inevitableoutcome of close friendships, and this is the real character- moulding influence. just as the great laws of physi-cs determine the orbits and speed of the planets, so do the ideals and aspirations of a friend change and fix our own, and just as when two different metals are placed in contact, and heat is applied, fusi-on and the intermingling of atoms ensues, so do two souls fuse together, their opposing features balancing, their common.peculiarities unit- ing, until they are one as far as all the nobler, deeper, worthier attributes are concerned. i , L.

Without self-confidence, no person, on his Own efforts, can attain the high- : I I b est success in any walk of life. However, this term must be understood as confidence in self, and not confused with self-conceit. It is not seldom that he who reads character interprets self-confidence as conceit, and vice V61-Sa, But tl1e two terms are, in reality, widely different. A bigot may possess no grain whatever of confidence in himself, and on the other hand, the most self-con- Hdent person is not necessarily conceited. The chief difference is that the self- confident person knows himself and his powers, while the Qonceited one does not. Sometimes, it is true, conceit has its beginning in self-confidence, but it becomes conceit only when exaggerated, and attains an abnormal growth. Then let us consider this attribute as being that factor in the makeup of the human mind. which holds all the powers of body and mind enlisted. Not overestimated, but just as they actually are. The person possessing self- confidence knows just whatipossibilities be within himself, and all his facul- ties are in his command so that he 1nay put them into play any moment with- out doubt that they will bring about the desired result. A man may be strong in mind or body, or both, and may see before him wonderful possibilities, yet he is powerless without confidence in' himself. His strenglthfprofits him nothing. He is of infinitely less value to himself or to mankind than the man who has less or equal strength than he, yet who knows just how much he has and is ready to use it without fear. VVhen America sought independence, there were many strong and brave generals who loved the cause well enough, and saw the need, butthere was but one George VVash- ington.- He had the power andvstrength to save his country, and he had con- fidence in it, which fact won the conidence of the people- and saved the cause. Portia had many suitors whom the four winds blew in from every coast. Yet all but one of these drew from the, Caskets with various misgivings and with faint hearts. Bassanio knew his position. He wooed Portia with the utmost confidence in his ability to win, and he did win. And thus self-confidence often leads men to take successful steps forward. It is equally as beneficial in checking rash moves. VVhen a man knows his own resources, he is not likely to venture beyond prudence. And this is pre- cisely the place where the conceited person mistakes. His imagined powers lead him to take upon himself tasks which he is not capable of performing. But not so with self-confidence. The one who possesses the latter is also the possessor of prudence. He attempts those things which he knows are within his power to accomplish, and in so doing prepares himself for higher and more difficult undertakings. Thus and only thus may a person aSC611d UTC laflflel' Of success He must first place his foot upon the lowest round, and when he is sure that it will hold, place his whole weight upon it.

He was a bunch of mischief from, thexturned up t1ps of his tattered shoes, when he wore them, to the crown of his wooly black head. It sparkled in his big black eyes and showed in the dimples that played around his roguish mouth. VVhenever anything unusual happened in the way of devilment, it would be traced directly or indirectly to Maimmy Swinney's Sonny, And oh! what a trial he was to that good old mammy, who had tried everything from the use of her stout slipper to an original method of punish- ment-that of tying Sonny's hands and feet together for days at a time. But Sonny was incorrigibleg even this stringent method- did no good-it gave him a hne opportunity for devising some new way for making mischief. And Sonny was in disgrace on that day. Wfhat day? Why the day that Samantha Matilda Caroline fones was to be married to jake Marshall. And Sonny's mammy, bending over a tub in the shade ofa tree not far away, looked back now and then at the ridiculous little culprit, who had wriggled from the cabin door and was seated on the lower step with eyes down-cast, deep .in thought. A queer picture indeed he presented, bound hand andfoot with straps securely fastened at his neck, little bare toes squirming in the dust- now and then the eyes opened and shot quick glances at his unrelenting cus- todian.

Vlfhat weird shadows the moon threw across the churchyard! She involuntarily shuddered as she with several others entered the stuffy little frame church and were ushered in great pomp to front seats by little boys with great white bows in their shoes. Oh, yesg Samantha Jones was going to have things stylish She hadn't been working in Smith's Iunctionl' among the quality for nothing. She had idees. The service was to be an episcopal form. Uncle Daniel had objected seriously to Wearing a Wrapper, because preacher Thompson had presented him with a discarded Prince Albert but was finally persuaded into wearing what might have been called, by some, a dean's robe-a long, queer looking thing concocted from a Sheet and some black stuff. Nevertheless he looked very imposing to the strange assembly as he led the way to the candle lighted alter, followed by a. unique- train of boys carrying little vases of different sizes and descriptions, filled with an evil- smelling powder which filled the church so full of smoke that the door had to be left open. . ' n Next came Frances Catherine Louise Jones, the bride's sister, strewing at every sixth step, a paper rose inthe way of the bride who followed. VVhat glances of pity, admiration, scorn, and envy were centered on S'manthy as she swept down the aisle, eyes Hxed on her goal, hands stiffiy stretched in front of her, grasping a huge boquet of white and red- garden roses from which streamed an enormous pink cheese cloth bow flowing to the hem of her mirac- ulous dress! But glances of admiration turned to those of fear and suspicion as they fell on Jake-the mysterious bridegroom over whom the wrath of God seemed to be impending. Yet it was this .figure their eyes followed to where the candles at the pulpit iiickered. But sch! The ceremony had commenced. Uncle Daniel's vioce rose and fell-a silence had fallen on the audience- an unaccountable feeling of mystery filled the house. Perhaps it was because the lights were so dim-but wait! a sudden gust of wind from an opened door at the rear, whistled through the room, extinguished all lights save that of a candle or two. What was that? A tall white apparition slowly and waver- ingly advanced toward the altar! 'Twas then.Samantha forgot her dignity, forgot her dress, forgot her Howers and sank limply to the Hoor. 'Twas then Jake forgot hisbride and ran frantically to the open window and disappeared. 'Twas then panic broke loose and those who had -strength enough, fled. Others sat spellbound. Among the latter was Mammy. 'Twas then Uncle 'Daniel fell to his knees at the foot of the apparition. and at that same time something struck the edge of the altar and Uncle Daniel. candle and ghost fell in a heap. 'Twas then a burning sheet was torn from a little black body on stilts. 'Twas then Sonny fainted away, calling for his mammy. Long years afterward when Sonny was grown, he pointed to the scar left by the fire and told his story to bad little boys. Is there a moral?

C 72 THE GLEAM innovation in the use of polysyllabic bombast for the expression of pseudo- poetic erotics, this does not disprove him sufficiently conservative to rescue his friend from modernly jewish tonsorial vengeance, n-or does it cast the shadow of a doubt over his ability to make love successfully, nor does it cause us to wonder that, among so many other deeds of discretion and thrift, he can let fall his spirits and pick up a pony in lieu thereof. But seriously, whether or not he is the poor but proud possessor of a pr6Clil6CtiO11 fOr hiSUi011iS111, not his assurance of bearing merely, but also his enunciatory deliberation and clearness will undoubtedly prove to be valuable assets in making all the days of his actor life palmy ones. Undeniably, Antonio had said I'll be darned, with creditable unctiong but don't you believe it was without a tussle. Certain of the play-ers objected to this truly sinful expletive as being too coarse, and even decidedly profane, and they displayed their disapproval by casting a consequential vote to sub- stitute the childishly innocuous I'll be switched. But one of the others was wicked, and, as she seemed to have espoused Satan's cause with a will, the forces of evil were duly triumphant, and poor Antonio had to say a swear. Such is life !-the existence of a virtuous man is replete with the nagging and pestering of sin. Oh dear reader, let us be prudes and hypocrites as long as We live! This production goes the Shakespeare comedy one better-or shall I say one worse ?-in that it contains four love affairs instead of three. Whether this was an improvement or not is not for me to discuss, for this is leap year, and I might get myself into trouble, but it was readily accomplished by making Jessica the ward, instead of the daughter, of Shylock. To detail how Ralph Frush, as the unconventionally picturesque Israelite, enthusiastically justified himself and energetically vilitied the gridiron in general and Antonio in par- ticular, as well as to describe the fto himj disdainful Iewess, possessed of an- athletic masculine ideal, and to portray the ingenuous unaffectedness of Grat- iauo,-all this needs volumes, and there are only a few short pages allotted to meg so they must content themselves with this bare mention. As Neriissa was placed on an equal social footing with Portia, and as miladi the heroine must needs have a maid, a Polly was introduced, and was appropriately embodiedby a diminuitive damsel whose voice and person were equally unobtrusive. And so we come to Lazmcelot Gobbo, with an ability to teach Socrates lessons in dialectics by means of his conscience-versus-fiend soliloquy, and in a not less apparent position to give Apicius pointers on gastronomical epi- cureanism, when wehungrily watch him destroyin-g pies in Iessica's window. But his last act horseplay was protracted enough and blatant enough to have made the famous slapstick of George Ade's Zoroaster and Zendavesta' show off with much the' same degree of conspicuity as the tintinnabulations of grand opera in Convention Hall, and horseplay is to be preferred- to Ibsenism onlv in the most cheaply farcical of dramatic comicalities, where it brings in biffgeir gate receipts.

There was a physi- ognomist in town and he had told all the teachers their especial gifts and accomplishments. He told Miss Brown her talent was English classics, of course Miss Barnett had great talent in music, Miss Henry was a fine dis- ciplinarian, Mr. Haupt was a German, through and through. He informed Miss Phelps she was fine in history, and showed her how to tell who were history students, much to our secret dismay. He told Miss Coah Henry she would be another Rembrandt some day, and bugs and worms were -Miss Stoner's specialty. Mr. Hifner would win fame with saw and chisel, while Miss Chiles would be known far and wide as, Mathematics, a specialty. Miss- McDonald,s talent was hid- den behind polygons, octagons, etc., and Miss Clark and Miss Stone's good points were too numerous to mention. He said Professor Bryant was an ex- cellent teacher but would have made a fine preacher, and Mr. Palmer was a great diplomat. You would naturally suppose we were anxious to see him and when he came ,upon the stage three hundred pairs of eyes examined him closely while three hundred pairs of hands clapped expectantly. He was of average height with light brown hair and a blonde mustache and beard, but when he began to talk we forgot all about his appearance. He told us about his travel in Europe and how the girls and boys went to school there, and what they learned. He said there were no children in America. Everybody was so independent. He said the boys and girls here are not as polite as they are in Europe. 'He gave us a picture of Holland and we saw its canals and quaint looking houses and the brightly dressed children playing tag on the ice, while the older people skated soberly to town, perhaps with market basket on shoulder. It didn't seem more than a minute until Prof. Bryant looked at his watch and. then turned' around with an amazed smile. It. was ten minutes to ten! 'We clapped and clapped until our hands were blistered, and at Prof. Des .Champs's request gave our class yells. I think you pould have he-aid them a mile away. Then we took up our interrupted lessons. aut I am afraidphysinognomy and Professor Des Champs were discussed more than read1n' and writin' and 'rithmeticf' that morning. -C. S., '1l. .

There came to us one assembly morning, in early spring, as gentle as the first warm breezes of the seas-on, a faint yet decided whiff of foreign atmosphere. It came unexpectedly, though none the less welcome, in the person of Professor Des Champs, a celebrated French physiognomist and mind reader. He was introduced to us by our worthy professor, as a Frenchman Americanized by time and travel, but, much to our surprise on his very opening sentences, Professor -Des Champs said that he d1dn't wish. to be called American. He said that although he loved and admired America greatly, for no country would he exchange his own beautiful, sunny France. I He was not s-o Americanized that he lost all traces of alienity. We caught the breezy, businesslike manners of noisy, clamorous Paris in the way he fre- quently struck his hands together in talking, as though he were striking a good bargain with even our alert, active Americans. His entire person, his slight yet noticible accent, the peculiar but effective gestures in his general manner of expression, bore the stamp of an unmistakable Frenchman, though somewhat conformed to our ideas by travel. The quizzical, half-questioning look from out his kindly eyes, and the half-smile that played about his mouth all the while he was talking, led us to believe there was a kindly, sympathetic spirit back of the outward life, something in reserve, not in his show-win- dow for everyone's inspection. It was quite a surprise for us to learn that this small man before us was representative of all the old, historical places where he afterwards told us he had been. Nevertheless, we listened attentively to what he t-old us concerning his travels and what he had learned of physiognomy while traveling. In his charming manner he soon had us laughing and peering into each others' faces to see what characteristics we might possess, as he told us what each feature indicated. Some of us were accused of being untruthful because our eyes were not shaped just exactly alike, and because our eyebrows were not curved symmetrically, we were charged with being fickle and inconstant in our affec- tions. Others had to admit because of their slightly upturned noses that they had a sarcastic vein in their natures. And in addition, that, on account of pro- truding ears, some were to be endowed with an undesirable failing, degeneracy. - - ' ' ' - b t 't as As someone afterwards said, it was a morning of inspection, ti. 1 W E ker and hearer, that we were sincerely so thoroughly enjoyed by both spea sorr when the period ended. Professor Des Champs must have been sorry Y too, for the very next week, at his request, Professor Bryant called anlassembly - ' '- - ' lis traves. at which he spoke, much to our delight, fuflihel Concerning-lc. M., ,IO . - 1 76 T H E G L E A M AS SEEN BY A JUNIORY, Among those who have talked to us in our morning assemblies, one who was exceedingly interesting, both because of whom he was and what he had to say, was Prof. Des Champs. From his name we can readily see that he 1S a Frenchman and indeed he is a typical one in every respect. . His appearance is of a man of medium size, whose head, rather oval in shape, might be considered a little large for the rest of his body. His auburn and slightly curly hair is several shades darker than his vandyke beard. which is so light as to be almost a bright red. These characteristics, together with his neat and immaculate clothes, made him appear a very intellectual and dignified man, and it was with the greatest of interest that we assembled in the auditorum to hear him talk. . Imagine our surprise, when Mr. Bryant announced that Prof. Des Champs was a physiognomist, another and even more interesting characteristic of this foreigner. -Our whole interest was indeed centered around him, especially when he began telling us the meaning of each of the many varieties of features, and the way to remove those imprints which did not speak of beautiful and noble characteristics. Before he had finished, each one was scrutinizing his neigh- bor's face, at the same timevpassing judgments upon it. So, when the bell rang, with what seemed an unusual noise, meaning for us to pass to our rooms, we would not cease applauding until he promised .to give us another lecture. Consequently, on the following morning, another assembly was called, and he again talked to us not on the same subject, however, but upon one which gave us an insight into the general character of some of the cities, schools, uni- versities, and also an idea of what the French think of the Americans. He told us about the points ofinterest in the cities through which he had travel- ed, dwelling only a short time upon these, however, and directing our atten- tion more particularly to the schools. He showed us how much stricter the French schools were than our American ones, 'and told us that the French considered our schools altogether too void of the very hardest and most needed mental development. He gave the reason for this, as all do who censure the Americans, to our continual hurry-our desire to burst forth in the world when we should be in school. Nevertheless, from both of these good talks, we gathered much new knowl- edge. He gave us an advantageous idea of how to read human character, and I . 1ow to make our faces an index that we would not be ashamed for anyone to read. He makes us appreciate the system of our schools, and hope that the strict rule of the French schools will never 'be introduced intg our American ones. M. B., 'o9. - THE GlL13Aiw 77 S AS SEEN BY A SENIOR. On Friday morning, March 19, the assembly was called to listen to a very i11te1'CSti11g' talk by Professor Des Champs, a physiognomist. Our interest was fi at rst aroused on being told by Prof. Bryant that the speaker could tell the character of each one of us by merely looking at us. At this, the Freshmen opened their rapacious mouths, for they knew not even the wisest Seniors could do that. He talked to us about the face as a revelation of character. He told us that the eyes especially indicated characterg by their expression, one can quickly form -on idea of the disposition of a person. The eyebrows, if even and well formed, indicate a kind heart and polite nature. If the upper eyelids are the same curve as the lower ones, it is indicative of a very truthful characl- ter. He gave us only a few of his ways of reading characterg but he showed us that it was possible for our faces to change just as our character developed. He ended his talk to us by an appeal to so cultivate and develop our characters that any stranger, coming into our midst, would know that our characters were pure and chaste. On the following Tuesday morning, he addressed us again on some of his travels in Europe. VVe were much interested in his experiences, especially in Holland and the customs of the c-ountry. The school rules, he said, are much stricter in Europe than in America. After having been expelled from one European college, it is a very difficult matter to gain entrance to another one. Another strict rule is that the sudent must first get the consent of his parents and then of the head professor before he can attend! the theater. Most of us decided that we had rather go to school in America under our present 'rules and especially those of the Independence High School. 'We all enjoyed Prof. Des Champs' talks and were the more interested, in hearing it told by one who had seen the places and had the experience. He gave us an idea of what foreigners think of the American girl and boy- His Criticism of the American girl was that she was too independent, while he considered the boy too irreverent. It would do well for us to consider these faults and profit by what he told us. ' -M. K., 'O8. 1.1 , .

Last year the girls formed a Glee Club. As both of these societies are now extinct, the girls saw Ht to establish a chorus, named after the mythical goddess, not only in order to keep pace with the honorable brother society, but also to form a society which, with the united efforts of the members, would prove beneficial as well as entertaining. So the chorus was organized with a membership of fifty. They have met every Friday evening and, with the help of their competent instructor, Mr. I-laupt, have over-stepped the bounds of any of their expectations. A Appearing in public for the first time, the chorus, assisted by' someiof' the male voices, gave a very enjoyable -entertainment on the Friday inorning j5reL ceding XVashington's birthday. A purely pratriotic programrgegwas 'reiidered, and, aided by this encouragement, the girls have striven to ilialqegikleqir meetings enjoyable recreations forboth members and instructorf 'e . In the spring, some of the members thought it expedient that a constiltu- tion be drawn up and voted upon by the society in order to perfect the organi- zation. This constitution proved satisfactory to all members and has never been violated during its entire duration. A i , Such is the history of a young society. In vain does Mr. Bryant ask, Where are the cadets ? -in vain do the uninformed aks for the Gamma Delta Sigmag but the charter members of this organization think that there will be no cause for any questions concerning the Euterpean Chorus, but that they have formed a society which will be invaluable to the future of the Indepen- dence High School.

Palmer Ivan Prior VValter Tatum The Excelsior Debating Society was organized January 10, 1902, by some of the progressive, wide-awake boys of the High School, under the advice and direction of Prof. Bryant. for the purpose of mutual improvement. entertain- ment, and general good-fellowship. In thus meeting together and discussing, pro and con, various topics, in observing parlimentary rules and usages, many advantages result to those participating in these excellent exercises. Here the faculties and perceptions are to see and take advantage of a point quickly. to stand before an audience and give an address, in a clear and concise manner with ease and confidence, thereby laying the foundation for useful citizenship. This practice will enable the members to intelligently c-onsideria subject from all View-pointsg thus, they will not only form an impartial opinion, but will also be capable of presenting their ideas to others, in that clear. forceful man- ner Which Will make of them, influential men. ' The society was first known as the Excelsior Debating Club and continued under that name until about May 15, 1903, when it was changed to Excelsior Debating Society, The meetings were held every two weeks: until April ll, 84 THE GLEAM 1902, when it was decided by a vote of the club, to hold them every Friday afternoon. 3 -' - - - ' The program usually consisted of a debate, between Cl1OSC11 mC1'HlJC1'S Of the club, one or two declamations and readings, and sometimes speeches, on current topics, The questions for debate were assigned by the Program Committee, two weeks before the rendering of the program, this gave thC disputants a chance to study the question. Later, everything was dropped except the debate and an occasional speech, , About I-uly 28, 1902, the members began to lose interest and the society continued to go down, until November 28,1902 it ceased to hold meetings. February 10, 1903 it was reorganized and quite an interest worked up again. During the time between which the society started on the decline, and the time it was reorganized, there seems to have been some trouble, which caused a division, and two organizations were formed. One retaining the old name and the other calling itself the XM. H. L. Club. XNhat VV. H. L. stood for has not been recorded in the Excelsior books. When the Excelsiors reorganized, they sent the'other faction an invitation to join them, and on February 27, 1903, they were reunited under one head. About nine months later the society again lost interest and from December 11, 1903 until February 3, 1904, there were no meetings. . The evening of .April 24, 1903, there was a formal debate, between three members of the Lexington High School and three members of the Excelsior, which was open to the public, a small admission fee being charged. After all expenses had been paid, there remained 37.50, with which Prof. Bryant and three of the society purchased and presented to the school, a picture entitled, The Stag at Bay. ' The Excelsior has been doing fine work lately and although the member- ship is not as large as it might be, all feel encouraged and hope next year to do better th-an ever. The society will miss its graduating members, Procter Kerr and Williaiii Palmer, especially Procter, who has given faithful S61-Vice ever since he joined the society about four years ago. - -E. A.

The in-held is very -strong, the outfield, although composed of small men, is exceedingly fast, and Smith, our pitcher, is' very effective--he just fools the opposers into missing the ball.. . - , In the games already played, we have won one out of three. In the game with Argentine, the score was 5 to 2 in the seventh inning, but the Argentine 'men had to leave early and the rally that our team was making was of no avail. In the game played at Lees Summit, some of the players were members of the B. O. Club-a team that plays a good game against the Kansas City Athletic Club, so we considered that a score of 3 to 6, against such players was not at all discouraging. Idle easily defeated the'University Medical Col- lege of Kansas City, by a score of ll to 5. V VVe want to thank Prof. Bryant for what he has done for us this year.

From one standpoint, the Alumni is the most important factor of a school, for upon it, to a great extent, does the reputation of a school depend. No edu- cational institution can be correctly judged by the number of pupils: enrolled, or by the number of graduates it turns out each year, but rather by what those graduated are accomplishing in the world. VVe do not form our opinion of a piece of machinery while it is being constructed, but after it has been put into operation, and we judge it by the work it accomplishes. Likewise do we look to the Alumni to find the results of our school. We are very proud of our old alma mater and remembering that we, the members of the Alumni, make for our school its name, should to the best of our ability, use all our power to make for it an honorable one. Such a name, that not only we will be proud of, but one that the citizens of our community will respect and will point back to through the ,years to come, and will speak with pride of the record made by all those who have had their life influenced by old I. H. 'S. This responsibility resting upon the Alumni, each member of every class must do his part, and we the class of '08 hope to do our best toward. maintain- ing the excellent reputation established by the previous classes and heartily join with them in further advancing and uplifting the character of our dear old High School.

The dream in which ye have so pleasantlyiensconsed yourselves for the past twelve-month is of doubtful duration and hazarclful hopefulness, so pause ye one moment ere ye overstep and, tripping, fall from your pliantasma of fancy and idealism. I ope' my lips not to herald the approach of disenchant- ment, but to school you to be not surprised at its coming. No! gentle reader, neither am I a pessimist or an alarmist. I am now at the conclusion of a pro- cess which saw me an innocuous idealist during a term at I-Iigh School,- a leth- argic pessimist through the year's immediately following awakening, and since arrived at an epoch of happily inane yet marvelously satisfying egoism. All ye Seniors who dread even a near repetition of such an ordeal will do well to wishfully and providently remember my office number and calling hours. Enough of this 'fbubble and squeak! As a message from tliose whom I but attempt to represent, I say unto you that at last accounts none wearinff the symbol of ' O5 has yet been se- lected as ambassador to the court of St. James neither had any of them done any kind of time known outside of a watch tower' tho report has been made of two that were married alive. The rest have been content to plod along in the way ordained by fate for the usual tyep of mooningly mush-and-milk mediocre mortals. Haunting our whilom slogan No Vlfedding Bells for us impudently in the face of the ever and anon insistent cupid' with whom however some of us have been sore beset' but sh-sh don t say I said so -and the rest. But let it pass.-Perhaps in future ages, the failure-mindful Gleam edi-- tors will cease to request the Alumni to assume a pen rusty from disuse for the obviously onerous unburdening of themselves of quantities of self-considered g'o0d advice, and trite and wearisome exhortations to the one about to ente' upon lifes voyage thus abolishing the feebly prevalent feelino' of fraud exe perienced by every over-hasty Gleam purchaser. after scanning the Alumni Department.

The nrst edition of the Gleam was edited by the Class of 1901, A few attempts had been made previous to this, but failed through lack of advertising. To the Class of 1901 can be given the credit of starting an I. H. S. Annual known as the Gleam. Their hope that the idea of a -High School Annual may not die in the first year, has been fully realized the past seven years. It has been made, as they wished, a regular institution of the High School. And we, the'Class of 1908, wish, hope and are sure that it will- continue to be so. i , i 1 The success of a paper lies in its material and advertising. Those who have contributed material for the Gleam, we thank, ,not only for their 'en- deavor, but for their success in giving something good. And we also wish to thank those firms who have given us H ads g for advertising, as has been seen in past years, is the prime factor in the success of a paper. VVe hope that the following classes may attain the success we hope we have attainedg and we wish them Good lucl ' l't' 0' h P I g c in eci ing t e best Gleam ever ubl1shed.' T H E G L E A M lol oUR MORNING ASSEMBLIES. Nlow kin - . . . . A J d rcadclbi 3 fell good WO1dS for our morning assemblies. There goes h - ' - . . . . gi t e five minute bell! It brings a cheerful sensation wlth its cheery ring, and from all parts of the building, happy, laughing care-free pupils rush t 1 -. - . . owaid the auditorium. Tolygons and cucles vanish as if by magic, Burke pores alone over his conciliation in the distant history room, and Shakespeare sits in mournful silence in deserted No. 3. A Very different, however, is the assembly room. A busy hum comes trom all parts of the auditorium, with now and then a squeal by way of V21F1Ht1011. Everybody is merryg everybody is in a good humorg and every- body is Wondering what our treat is to be. The bell rings for nine o'clock. Professor Bryant raises his hand and the DLISY hum dies out, The exercises have begun. What exercises we have had in that old assembly-room. How many an excellent talk from our beloved Professor, leaving a desire to do better and be more! Then the songs-sol-os, quartettes, choruses-and sometimes the whole school sang until one might not have been surprised to see the roof slowly rise and sail oft into space, or even to see those intellectual giants-Luther, VVebste1', Shakespeare, Mann-solemnly presiding, open their sculptured eyes in sheer astonishment. Yes, these have been happy times, these hours in the old assembly- room! We have heard speakers there' we have heard singers thereg we have heard musicians there' and a physiognomist once told us what our faces saidg and last ,but not least we have heard a white-hared pioneer who plead for the Oregon Trail that battle-ground that he loves. These assemblies are over for th-ose who are leaving but let us hope that they will be continued and enlarged for those who are left. In years to come, when the responsibilities of life press hard and the school-day frolics are no m-ore, as we open the book of Time and turn back the leaves of the Past none will afford us greater pleasure than the pages which tell of our good old times one with another and all together, in dear old I. H. S. OUR CADETS. VVhere are our Cadets? asked Mr.-Bryant one morning in Asseml ly. He might have asked it again and there would have been the same blank silence. Yes! VVhe1'e are they? Wfhere are those soldierlylooking personages who used to mingle among the pupils and who were distinguished by their uniforms of blue and black? lfVherc is that buglc call summoning them. to drills in which they were displayed at their best-drums beating' marching in perfect time' their countrys flag floating over their lines, ,VVhere are they? Gone! we are sorry to say but We hope some day to return. 'They t h or how. Let us hope. that it was 0-rqduallg disappearecl' ue know no W y Bot laclf of qu-CHULI1 that prex cnted their maintainance 'but only lack 'oi x - S. 1 , r x K s r ta s 1 U xy u n C c cc 75 rr J C b 1. zz- iv ' c l 2 6 A 1 b s , L C I r c 7 4 Y V r 1 t '., j 102 Tl-IE GLEAM numbers. They are gone and we should be sorry for itg for a cadet corps is a credit to any school. Nearly all good schools in the United states have one. Why shouldn't we? Itinterests the public in the schools and strengthens school spirit. Let us hope that it will not be long bei-ore I. H. S. will see an- other cadet corps, and that, when Mr.Bryant again asks Wliere are our ca- dets? there will be a ringing response. h - IN MEMORIAMJ' Have you ever considered the deep significance of these ,two words- in 1ne1noria1n P Have you ever thought how many of our life-actions are controlled by them-how many things we do and should do in memoriam? And He took bread, and gave thanks, and break it, and gave unto them, say- ing, 'This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me.' And we do it in memory of Him. This is the Great in 'lVIemoriam. All along lite's journey, memories of the past glide in and point out the way. I am persuaded that many a man has put evil aside in memoriam of the mother who prayed for him, lived for him, worked for him always, asking nothing in return but that his life would be nobly spent, VVho that has gone astray is not tortured by in memoriams of the past-the innocent past? Wlio that has fought for the right is n-ot encouraged and made glad of heart by the in memoriams of the long ago? Our helpful in memori- ams : old incentives, old ambitions, old lessons, old opportunities, old friends -We should not forget them. While we are speaking a word for in memoriamsf' let us speak for one of our High 'School days. Wfhy, the pupil who has gone through our I. I-I. S., should be able to conquer Victory herself in memoriam of itg the pupil who has taken mathematics under Miss MacDonald should be able to write 'a geometry in memoriam of it. QFD But we have learned other lessons: moral lessons and good ones, too-we. must' not forget them. Let us remember it all: school, school-mates, teachers, lessons, let us keep our paths clear so that these memories will not be sharp needles of remorse, but cheerful incentives for still greater attainment and higher steps in memori- um of the past and in hopes of the future.

VVhy, bless you, Independznce stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the St. Augustines, the Santa Fes-yes, and the Damascuses-of history. She was the gateway to the unexplored XfVest, the starting-point of traders Wlestward bound, the centre from which all things ' I pioneer received life. Do you not know that in an early map of the XR est, In- dependence is the Centropolis, the point from which all things radiate, as the planets of a system revolve around the sun? '. Independence should not forget these things-they entitle her to a place in history, to a distinction which not even in Kansas City, nor -yet a hundred Kansas Cities, can take away. The men who know these things, who lived them, are very few. Let us hope that Independence will gather each scrap of her history, each memory of the Past, andfcollect them into an imperishable history of the time when she was the center of attraction and Kansas City was a river landing. - OUR WILL.
