Rah for the Class ol 1910. THE GLFAR1 QU 1 Qllaaa itiainrg --T HF Class of 1910 has a most unique beginning, in that it is composed of what were two separate and distinct classes. On January, 1906, a class was sent to the High School, so as to make room in the grade schools, and because of their great intellectual advancement it was thought that they should have more appropriate surroundings. As our coming had been her- alded. a space had been provided for us in the assembly hall, and we were quite the center of attraction on the morning of our arrival. No name having been provided for a fifth class, we were, at first, nicknamed Scrubs, but afterwards assumed the more dignified title of Sub Freshmen. Hale felt somewhat looked down upon this year, but managed to give a program once a week in assembly which was expected from each class. All looked forward to the next year, when our class would be above the Freshmen Class which would come at that time. II As school began again the following September the Subs sh-owed up with full ranks and there also came the usual class of Freshies. This was the year for organization, and at, first it was reported that the former Sub Freshmen and the Freshmen would be united, but this was met with such strong opposition on our part, that we were allowed to form a sep- arate class. XVe organized our class and were known as Advanced Fresh- men, while the others were just plain Freshies. About the first and only unanimous agreement the class had, was to keep away from the Freshmen in Assembly. Xlfe went through this year with heads up and colors flying, but about the end of the term the crash came when it was very unceremoniously announced to us that our extra half year would count for nothing. As fate would have it, we had to join the ranks of the Freshmen, but as they were an exceptionally good class, we were really glad of it. QI 1l'ith combined forces we started into the Sophomore year about seventy strong. All the class now thought we were making some progress toward the end and also had a very good opinion of ourselves. As this year had been reported to be the most difficult. all studied very hard and made a bril- liant record in the class room, consequently we had little time to make our- selves very widely known. II The next term having begun. we found ourselves to be under the title of Juniors, and therefore thought ourselves to be about as important as any one in school. ln this year came the brightest events in our history so farg also the unhappiest occurrence in the experiences of the class. One morning U11 Hur arrival at school we were told of the sudden death of one of our ....- cg- f- '--1' , N... V Y ..f..,., --- ' ' it 30 THE GLEAM classmates. This was made all the more impressive on account of the fact that it was entirely unexpected. From the beginning of the year we had looked forward t-o the junior reception. This is noted for being decidedly the best ever given according to the opinion of others. VVe spent much work on it but were amply repaid by its great success. If Now comes the crowning work, at last we were Seniors. It was a title truly gained, for in thestruggle we had lost nearly half our number. School had no more than convened when the Class Play was the subject of every Senior's conversation. One day good fortune passed our way and we heard of Mr. Jones. After a few interviews with him we decided he should direct our play. School, in the meanwhile, having been chosen as our play, all immediately set to work upon it. After much training, we gave what has been pronounced by all to be the best. Another feature of the year was the giving of the Shakespearean programs in the English Class. These were both interesting as well as profitable to all. Vlfe now set to work upon our Gleam which we hope will be a grand success and a fitting climax to the record of so brilliant a Class., F. P. '10. femur Glrvvh if El? El? , VVe, the Seniors of 1910, believe in the disgrace of ignorance, and in the efficacy of schools, colleges, and universities. VVe believe in ability to work with the hands as well as to think with the head, in beauty of thought, of daily life, of nature, and of the home. Wfe believe in well-prepared lessons, in laughter, in play, in work, in faith, and in love. Wfe believe in our teach- ers, in our class orators, scientists, mathematicians, musicians, artists, and writers, in the present and its opportunities, and in the promises for the brilliant future of our Class.

VERY Senior class in the history of the High School has been and will never cease to be remembered by those things which are characteristic of it and distinguish it as a class. 1910 will, then, be remembered by certain of its peculiarities, and the question may arise as to what these are. ln answering this question, first I should say argument. This monarch holds complete sway in class meetings and a prominent place in class recitations, and it might seem that we were living many centuries back in the world's history, when argument was popular not for the sake -of obtaining satisfac- tory conclusions, but simply for the sake of argument, itself. ' II Music, too, has its place in our class, and we are all very fond of it. Most of the young ladi-es are musiciansg some, perhaps, will in the future be as noted as the skillful performers of our own day. Besides there there are several who possess beautiful voices, and even the -boys are great singers. This talent was unknown to the school until we took part in the Franklin program by singing the Star Spangled Bannerv and Yankee Doodle. But we showed our greatest ability inthe line of music at our Junior Re- ception, when much to the surprise of all we gave a musical comedy, and our great success in this achievement sho-ws very clearly our ability as music- ians and vocalists. ' 11 NVe as a class have arrived at the 'place where we view school from the right standpoint. Wfe do'not look upon it as an unpleasant place or as one of confinement, but as one of preparations for the problems of the future. XfVe think of our teach-ers no-t as enemies to our pleasure, for we have learned that what they ask us to do is for the best and our own good. This especially is our attitude toward Professor Bryant, and never was there a class that so thoroughly appreciated his value and services to the High School as has 1910. ' p II Originality is a goal toward which we are all striving. A Vfe may have failed to reach this goal, but it is only after strenuous efforts. Wfe choose to fail in attempting something new ratherythan to succeed by following in beaten paths. VVe have tried in all of our entertainments such- as the ,lunior Reception, Senior Play, Shakespeare and History Programs to pre- sent something differenit-som-ething new to the School. QI One thing which we have not as yet developed. and, which is generally so highly developed in Senior Classes, is jealousy. Wfe do not envy our class- mates the praise due them, nor delight in their misfortunes, but rejoice with them in their development and successes. If we are able to maintain this spirit of unselhshness for the remaining few weeks of school we may be pleased to say that we are one of the very few classes leaving the High School L111l1lZll'l'CCl by this littleness of disposition.

And tAhei'l.t1'ialsfwe had that first week! It seemed that every time we turned a1'oL111c'llfjiv'ei, entered the wrong class room, or bumped into someone, or had to stand staliii1iig at the number over the doors to 'tell which was the room we wanted.-ff Then when we ac-cidentally got into the right room, -the teachers seemed :like ogres.. Then our first assembly, we were strangers in a strange p-lace. VVe were acquainted with only a few persons and it was with dif- hcultyi that we settled down to our places. During that first week we were miserable., Did we have -to stand this all the rest of the year? Our ques- tion renfaiined unanswered.. ' . i . But the second' week it was answered in an entirely different way from what we expected. For then began' the regular morning assemblies,-the joy of our coming school days. In them wesaw only pleasure awaiting usp it was a helpful pleasure,--a pleasure in which we should become acquainted with the favorite pupils of different classes. Then as the year went by we learned tojlove Mr. Bryant as all the classes before us had done. Theidif- ferent sections -of the English classes gave programs which we always en- joyed to their fullest extent and went away from, helped as well as entertained. But the Glee Clubs, how we did enjoy hearing them sing! Wle could have listened tothein all day. ' After the Christmas holidays we felt thoroughly at home in our new surroundings, and beganmore fully to enjoy High School life. The climax of a pleasant fyear wasreached when the Seniors gave their' programs. First the Franklin:iprogram whcih made us think more of Franklinthan we ever had before. iThen the Vlfashington program, when weall fell in love with their president, after he had given XNashington's parting address. Next the Shakespearian programs which were just .great,', and best of all the program they gave for Mr. Bryant on the morning of April lst. All through the year the programs each morning have been an unending source of ieinjoyineiit to us. Wfe feel as if we had gained information in many ways from them and shall never regret coming to the High School this year to partake in all its pleasures. ' Now that the juniors and Seniors have set us such aneexeellenteex-amp-legeewe--ffeefluas--if-next year xveaaeill-V-lqe able fm ,lj-eip in the entertainments. X S- A ' ' L. MC.

XVhy, certainly, replied a Senior to the.Soph who had just spoken. lf you little Sophomores will just keep quiet. Well, we have: and how we have enjoyed the first twenty minutes of each morning. :Xt first we were only glad because we would have five minutes off of cach recitationg but now-no, now we are glad because of' the pleasure and information we receive from them. How we have enjoyed Professor l3ryant's short talks. Wihat could give more pleasure to a boy or girl of the present than to hear of the Santa Fe trail and of the mode in which it was traveled, or of the school life in the Fifties, or even of Halley's comet? Some of us became so interested in this last subject that we actually arose at four-thirty one morning,-all in vain, however. . The music, also, has br-ought enthusiasm into our life. ldfho could be un- happy after having sung from our Red Book under the directorship of Pro- fessor Sexton! . He who wishes to be a winner in life's contest must have self-confidence. How is this to be obtained, if not germinated in youth? The boy who stands before an assembly of three hundred pupils and a number of teachers, when a Freshman or Sophomore, and speaks without being frightened half out of his wits, will, by the time he reaches the last round of the ladder of his high school career, be able to place his whole weight upon it, in full prepara- tion for the ladder to success. ln today already walks tomorrowf' Soph.,' LL year it has been the custom of the school to witness some program in the assembly hall the first thing in the morning before getting down to the regular grind of the day. This has proved to be a very success- ful experiment upon the school, because the pupils think that they are get- ting something for nothing, which, of course, puts them in a very pleasant working mood, and, besides, a large amount of beneficial knowledge has been picked up from the various-programs, given by the juniors and Seniors. V QI Speaking generally, the programs this year were first given in the class room, then, if no fatalities occurred, they were given before thewhole school. lt is astonishing to know what a largescope these morning exercises have, for it can be truthfully said that they have included everything from home- made plays and original poetry to orations upon the North Pole, besides sev- eral Shakespeare programs, given by the Seniors. Owing to the numerous useful facts, imbibed by the juniors in their research for program material this year, l could only answer, if anyone were to ask me for the definition of an If Hut the most entertaining phase of our sessions has been the display of the 44 rr-in GLEAM encyclopaedia, that An encyclopaedia is a human volume, containing many useful and fundamental facts. It usually associates with others of its kind, dwelling in, and in the neighborhood of the Independence High School. In some localities, those belonging to this species are known as .lun Qiorj bugs, because they have a habit of fluttering around the library, like moths around a candle flamef' . II Naturally the Seniors helped out in these morning entertainments by giving the most interesting parts of several of Shakespeare's plays. Of course, these were very interesting, 'besides being beneficial both to the Seniors, wh-0' memorized them, and to the school at large. These plays were usually ac- companied by music, which closely resembled some of Dr. Ayer's soothing syrup transformed into melody, while pupils personifying knights and lords, prelates and kings, were busily' engaged slandering each other in a most lordly and Shakespearian manner in the foreground. The school was greatly alarmed upon seeing those persons, that they had heretofore considered as per- fectly harmless, assuming such pugnacious attitudes. Surely, the different performers put so much zeal into their parts, that, if dear old Shakespeare himself had been present, standing in the wings of the stage, he would have scratched his head in a most perplexed and puzzled manner and said, Surely I didn't write that. II Considering .the programs as a whole, they have proved' to be a blessing in disguise, because we have learned something in getting them up, and in listening to those in which we had no part. They were an inspiration to the school and to -Prof. Bryant, so he claimed, and even caused the members of the Faculty to disrobe themselves of their careworn expressions and to look upon life with an o-ptimistic eye, for at least twenty minutes every day. E. K. 'll. HAT our morning assemblies have been a thing of joy to us poo-r laborers 1 after an education no one of us will deny. Gui' assemblies have, with few exceptions, been 'ushered in with the pouring forth of our patriotism in the singing of Americaf' encored, perhaps, by another familiar lay that takes us roaming along the briery banks of Scotta's sweet flowing Afton. To the classic rendition of these morning songs ws should pay especial praise to the musically enthralled ,arms of our leader, Mr. Sexton, ' II I have sat in speechless silence as inelodi of harmony and beauty-played in my enchanted ears.

Those with Ciceronian ambitions should be very grateful to our morning assemblies, for they have been the means of appeasing this noble am- bition. The manner in which the audience received the jeweled words that fell from the silvered esophagus of the orator has been enough of praise and applause. QI lt was with great interest that we listened to Prof. Bryant as he related the scenes and events of the misty past from the orbit or astride the tail of Halleys wanderer. Again every pupil should be grateful for the lessons that our Professor extracted from the stories and incidents relating to his eventful past. His is a life that has beheld both the sweet and sour of life, but to us he gives only the sweet. QI These are not the only fields of' intellectual development that we have been allowed to- visit. Future Titians of the bar have matched their legal wits and powersg bashful maidens have timidly sung songs of love or read papers of worth to a listening and admiring audience-usually the latter feel- ing was more apparent in one than the others.

They have added courage to timidity, confidence to desire, and en- thuiasm to expectation, - JANUARY 31'st. Wfhen was there ever such a coincidence in the history of the Independ- ence High School? A teacher got married!!! Imagine!! Yes, Professor Sexton and Cupid struck up an alliance, and his marriage to Miss Austin, january 24, 1910, was the outcome. i Cn the following Wfeelnesday morning 1. H. S. was certainly stirred up. Oh, had you heard about Professor Sex-? !'Yes, isnlt that the limit? l-Ie certainly has the proper grit to do such a thing in the middle of the term in T. H. S. f'W'ell, I guess it is just a case where love conquered. Such was the talk until the following Monday, january 31, when the Pro- fessor returned from his honeymoon. Everybody was going around with the semi-conscious air, that always 'Forhodes evil, when the assembly bell rang. ' The juniors took their usual place in the balcony, and when all were quiet, they arose and sang, f'Here Comes the Groom, an impromptu song composed by Olga Dunn anel Margaret Echardt. Here comes the groom, kids, rise up each one, Tele has just returned from his honeymoon. Ring out the chorus, we'll sing our song once again, And give three cheers for this happy man. Rah! Rah!

Then stick to it, kids, thr-o-w the rice, everyone, Throw it to a finish now that you have begun, VVhile we congratulate, ' V VVhile we congratulate, Y Wllile we congratulate the bride and groom foreverf' Following this the faint notes of Mendelssohn's wedding march floated out from behind the curtain. -And, then-coming down the left aisle were Alden Millard and Edward Karnes. Alden was th-e groom and looked the part from his agitated face to his white gloves. Edward was the best man. Coming down the right aisle was George Wfallace, acting as a father, and ,leaning touchingly on his arm was his fair daughter. George was indeed look- ing depressed at the thought of losing this damsel in wedl-O-ck. The maidenis countenance could not be discerned as a mosquito bar coquettishly covered her head., This was a fortunate' thing, as herifacial expression would probably have denoted anything except dignity and solemnity. The bride was clad in a white dress, of the most becoming style, and in all respects she was truly attractive. g The four met upon the stage. Wfhen the ring had been placed on the maiden's linger, and she andthe groom had been considered as united. the intense feeling of the community was indeed awakened. Everywhere you looked damp handkerchiefs were wiping away briny tears, But alas, the bride proved fickle. Immediately after her descent from the stage, she sat down by Professor Sexton, and Professor Setxon had a wife of his own too, Through it all she showed a generous nature and bestowed upon him her bouquet. 1 Wfhen the laughter had subsided, the curtain was raisedy Dangling from it were shoes of all descriptionsg big shoes, little shoes, new shoes and old shoes, and such an array of hearts and wooden spoons with touching words thereon. Then Wfelbster McDonald, the president of the Athletic Association, stepped forth and presented to Professor Sexton a leather chair, in behalf of the Association. VVhen he acknowledged our gift, he astounded us all by saying: I have resolved never to get married again. - Our time was nearing its close, and at the Hrst tap of the bell, the bride dashed out of the door with a stride of a boy, and we for the first time recog- nized our classmate, Lee Douthitt. VVe all enjoyed ourselves that morning, and here's hoping some more of the teachers. get affected by Cupid. M, G. '11. Tlel E GLEA M 47 APRIL 1st.

Per- haps the first tiny spark was inbibed within us during that awful, try- ing term as Subs. lt grew upon us as Freshmen: as Sophomores we felt its qniekening inlluenceq it came upon us with redoubled force in our junior year: and as Seniors it has been so great a factor in our lives that we chose to express as much one morning in assembly. QI It was April l7ool's day and everyone naturally expeetedea corresponding program. They were fooled,', however, for, as was given ia the introduction, we had met from time to time to honor and revere our heroes in History and Literature, and this mornings program was in honor of theibirthday of our own beloved principal whose inspiring influence and untiring efforts in our behalf have endeared him to the heart of every true-minded High School student. II The purpose of the program was to portray the various stages of life. ft was well conceived and developed accordingly. The soft, tender strains of a simple little cradle song introduced it. The mothers sweet song did not o'ershadow the gentle motion of the cradle. They were 'both there. and through them we beheld the simple picture in our minds eye. ' if The child grew as days passed on and the mother charmed him to sleep with her lullaby. llut he outgrew this happy stage, and next we saw him at his play and heard his short, detached account of the making of his first squirt-gun. QI Our imagination bridg'ed over his school life Crather, his own previous ac- count of it didj and then we beheld him as a youth singing from the depths ofhis young heart, 'Love Me, and the Wforlcl ls Mine.

In a like manner we received the short talks from Prof. .Palmer and Miss Brown. Then came Prof. Bryant's response. and we knew that our whole-souled eHort had been truly re- ceived and appreciated.

T 1 Q iliirai Svrhnul f' T was in my old Kentucky home and during the last century. If you il think ol it, that is not so long ago-a decade perhaps will land you there. l will not tell you what year, for then you might make some other cal- culations entirely unnecessary in this connection. Suffice it to say-, all school days have the-ir beginning and l suppose mine did too. They did, for lf re- member the event, The day was bright, the hour was early. Parenthetically let it be inserted that in those times school days were long-longer than ours. A day began at sun-rise and closed with sun-down. Benighted times! QI I was about eight years old. The school house was not very distant, just across a quarter, but my legs were short, and I still struggled with the hills thrown up by the ordinary plow and with the valleys scooped out by their shares. ln my imagination l still see that long lane and the gradual turn in the road that brought into View that intellectual palace of the woods. I wish l could walk it again, and gather almost into one step that mighty way flown by the blackberry patch and the sugar tree orchard. H-ow time con- tracts the visions of the child! How time expands the visions of the man! I 1 s I l : l E 1 2 I l I l I I l. l v l 50 , THE GLEAM To me that way was long, and the wind, at times, xx as c , -y dling steps finally reached the small log cabin or the house, if it can be so d'Cf 'fi d set high on the banks of Hickman Creek, as noted to me as Rub1COn f old but m little tod- igni e , to Caesar. If I entered its door. It always stood open. Evidently it was a summer school. Ther-e was but one window and that was made by cutting out eight or ten feet of log and supplying its place with glass. The seats were made of old fashioned slabs. The legs were set in them obliquely at various angles and forgot to stop at the upper surface. Their backs were never ordered. The only things in the room that had backs were the children, the teacher, and the teacher's desk-chair. The legs of the smaller boys dangled and those of the larger made acute angles in proportion to the height of the pupil. Thus postured the pupils spent their time from early morn to dewy eve. Extending the full length of the window and just under it to get full advantage of the light was an inclined writing board. It seemed very high to me. I was too small to use it. These were all the furnishings in the room except that flat ferule in the hands of the master and an occasional hickory switch in- tended solely for external application. The theory of those early Kentucky days was Spare the rod and spoil the child. The doctrine of original sin caused many a little heart and body to ache 'by reason of punishment ad- ministered to drive it out. Not many children of that time can boast of any neglect of the teacher in this particular. II .I do not recall any of the games of the larger boys of that first school. Being small I was not counted only to be teased. In the country robbing nests of bumble bees was a favorite amusement, and there were heroes and heroes upon those hard fought battle fields. You could mark them by their swollen eyes and stoical indifference to pain. These onslaughts led them far out into the woods and it took a strong voice to reach them in re- calling them to books, 1 VVhen they did come, they came as stragglers gath- ering in from the mightier conflicts of human war and passion. Wfaterloo and Yorktown had naught to compare with such heroism. Another thing which makes the whole -picture as of yesterday was the cry of school- butterf' VVhat older person, of southern clime, does not know the mean- ing of school-butter cried dehantly int-o the ears of a body of pupils ever ready for a scrimmage and to defend its honor. Can you not see them rise as one man and pursue in hot haste with stones and other weapons the enemy of their' peace? It took a fleet horse to- save the scalp of the defiant intruder and woe be to him if overtaken. If he escaped, days did not make the young tribe forgetful of him who had thus dared to cross the boundaries of its honor. Vlfhat a pleasure it would be to m-e today to look down that road and listen for the clattering of the horse's hoofs bearing that mischief maker to a place of safety, Be it a weakness, it deserves some praise, VVe love the play-place of' our early daysg THE GLEAM 51 The scene is touching, and the heart is stone That feels not at that sight, and feels at none. The little ones, unbuttoned, glowing hot, Playing our games, and on the very spot, As happy as we once. to kneel and draw The chalky ring, and knuckle down to taw, To pitch the ball into the grounded hat, Or drive it devious with a dextrous pat, The pleasing spectacle at once excites , Such recollection of our own delights, That viewing it, we seem almost t' obtain Our innocent sweet simple years again. This fond attachment to the well-known place, Vilhence first we started into lifels long race Maintains to hold with such unfailing sway, I Vife feel it even in age, and at our latest day. W ll Wflien play-time was over-it lasted for one hour-no 'bell rang the boys in. The teacher stood at the door and called in loud stentorian tones books ! Then with faces streaked with perspiration and moistened dust+in some cases amounting almost to mud-all would come in and be seated probably, for you must look out for that crooked pin on your seat, placed there by some mischievous friend of yours to see you jump. He is sitting just across from you, watching from behind his book, sniggering. There! you jump! Then the ferule! Between the ferule and the -pin the life of the timid ones was lived between the upper and the nether mill-stone. They suffered and dreaded during the day and dreamed terrible things at night, which mid- night fancies turned before the waking hour into the teacher himself. II VVhat books did I study? I do not remember to have studied at all. I must have had a lNebster's Spelling Book. Yes, I remember it by the curl- ing of the leaves at the corners, and by the worn place where the thumb held the book open and a thumb-paper attached by a thread from the top. I re- member a-b, ab and b-a, ba. I had to work hard to reach b-a-k-e-r, ba-ker. It was one of the great mile-stones of intellectual progress. The boy that could spell it had rights. He had reached his majority. It was as great an event as change of voice or putting on long trousers. That Blue Back Speller! There are few better books today and fewer still that have opened up wider opportunities to struggling mortals. It had its Hall of Fame and pointed ever to it. , Armed with its words, its short pithy sentences, its suggestive illustrations many a soul has marched to victory. Wlhat suc- cesses. what forceful lives have been forged in its factory. All hail to the Blue Back Spellers and the little log school houses on the hill! All hail to the little rills that go to make the mighty current of the twentieth century. Geo. S.

NLY a few short months ago there moved in and out among us a man- of youth and age the comrade-whose like we shall not see again. Always the friend and patron of The Gleam, it is most fitting that his memory be perpetuated in its pages. The children, from the first pri- mary to the high school senior, have felt the gentle, wholesome influence of his life. His smile, symbolized in the brilliant hues of the cheer-bearing flower he loved and wore, like a gleam of sunshine was a constant benedic- tion. Such a life as his cannot perish from the earth. Like a sweet in- cense it is disseminated into the lives of those who knew and loved him. i II Gently as the breezes of a summer morn james Moss Hunton brought the cheer and gladness of a loving' heart to the community in which he lived, and moved, and scattered kindness, giving birth to happiness everywhere in the radiant sunshine of his smile. Self-abnegation was the spirit -of his being. Truly was his life a continuous contribution to the needs and happi- ness of his fellows. In him was beautifully exemplified the love that Jesus taught. Measured by years his life was not a long one, but its richness and generous fullness are deeply felt in the circle where he dispensed happi- ness and joy. XNithout ostentation his deeds were wrought. The sorrow- ing and destitute he turned not away. Ever lifting burdens from weary shoulders, he seemed to bear none himself. As the dew is dispelled by the morning sun, tears and sadness were scattered 'by his presence. No knight of old wasmore gentle, more chivalrous. His magnanimous heart ever beat in response to distress and suffering of the weak and lowly. The relief that he offered always took such form as to make an expression of gratitude dif- ficult or impossible. The rich and the poor, the young and the old, alike loved and honored him.

The glow of the red Carnation has faded into the gloom of the cypress shade. The joyous smile, the cordial hand-clasp, the words of kindly greeting, linger with us still in the treasure-house of memory. Let us hope that the beautiful life he lived may serve to in- spire the many to whom he endeared himself with a desire to emulate his virtues. In this way we may see him again, as the impress of his character may appear in the lives of all the youth who were bound to him by bonds of love.

But excess became a basic vice, and reaction ever dogs the footsteps to excess. Thus came effeminacy, invasion, ruin at the hand of a vastly inferior people. Then, for.Europe came th-ose ages when mind groped helplessly through the gloom of ignorance and,superstition3 and not until the dawn of a new era do great names again appear.

Of course the Three Oxford Reformers, Luther, Calvin and such men ever will and should be associated with tearing down the scaffold of scholasticism-of adding sane and logical reasoning to free- thinkingf' After Europe was once aroused to the fact that her sons were not base underlings-individuals stand -out prominently, opening new high- ways for every walk of life. Copernicus, Galileo, Henry the Navigator, Caxton and Gutenburg elavated mankind into higher fields of ideas. Those who do this, deserve honor in the same class with them that 'preserve a nation. Il True, the glamour of heroism is not them that refiects upon such .glor- ious emancipators as Frederick the Great, Wfilliam of Orange, and our own grand XVashington. In these we see the exalted spirit of unsullied patriotism working through men as truly great in peace as in war. II Again we look even higher than this in the scale of liberty advocates, and find the illustrious parliamentarians who sacrificed estate, cast, friends, and even life to 'answer the sacred calls of conscience in behalf of their country. Hampden, Pym and Eliot stand at the top of a people who sub- verted the divine right theory and -proclaimed anew the ancient inalienable right. Burke and Pitt ably defended the same broad toleration--their just forsight granting such principles as fundamental even in the colonial g-ov- ermncnts across the seas. QI And in this land of the free we point with honest pride to the vast array of those who have aided in furthering the cause of freedom. The firm phalanx of colonial patriots, the ages' greatest inventors, the army -of stern, uncompromising abolitionists, have all led in raising the masses to a full understanding and enjoyment of true liberty. Perhaps the one character most deserving honor after the Father of his Country, is Abrahain Lincoln, wh-or not only freed the negroes from slavery, but a whole nation from a system that stood a contradiction to their constitution, a menace to their moral uplift and political union. , II The entire course of freedom cannot be traced by the doings of individ- uals. The evolution of ages has shown nations fulfilling their mission all for the general uplift. The Hebrews gave the world a fresh, pure religion that made it possible for us to be loosed from absurd myth theories, with their indefinite or abrupt beginnings. The Greeks added to Truth-Beauty- no longer were the arts bound by an unyielding chain of form. Rome pre- served and added to the classic stores of Greece, butthe barbarians came and this learning was obscured. Then, indeed, did the age seem dark, but the manifest work of this rude people was as definite and far-reaching as any that ever dwelt upon European soil. A fierce love of freedom was ini- preguated in their beingsg the basest term of abuse they could fling at an 56 THE GLEAM enemy was-slave. XNhat wonder then that England, the battle-ground of all conquering Tueton and uuconquerable Celt should take such decided strides toward the climax of all that is free. They must be free-or die- who speak the tongue that Shakespeare spoke, the faith and morals hold which Milton held. ' If But the very height-the crest-the crest unto the crest of vigorous and self-sustaining independence, we find-at home. Wfhat a pride thrills within us when we look at our own country-a huge and splendid monu- ment of progress, peace and liberty! XNhat security to feel that our insti- tutions were established by men who loved their neighbors as themselves, and their country more than themselves. QI There comes a keen sensation of pride touching our highest instincts when we see the Stars and Stripes-when we hear the voices of our country- men singing: Land where my fathers died! Land of the pilgrim's pride! From every mountain side Let freedom ring! - R. S.

This afternoon, shinney seemed 'especially popular, all along the road the youngsters manifested great eagerness for the game. Shinny me one hole, yelled a half dozen at once. Ch, you'r1e it, Bob l A Bang went the can-the gane is off. The clatter and commotion proceeded until the continuous biffs and bangs were interrupted by a slight variation, f'Oh, my toe, my toe, my toe ! screamed jim, Gully, the blood's a-goinj he add-ed excitedly. Hitting people's feet occurred often in thisgame, but for the blood to come proved something extra, and all rushed toward the unfortunate one, expecting to see his foot bathed in a deluge -of redness. Gee, I wouldn't bawl about such a little scratch, exclaimed the bully of the crowd, disappointed that the excitement was no greater. f'Cry baby, chimed in several others. Hey, Jim! There goes that pink-headed girl of your'n. Better dry up, she's a lookin' at you, proclaimed one, exultingly. The little figure at the side of the road, indignant at the remarks which the ugly boys made about her to Jimmie, straightened up, drew her pink sunbonnet more closely over her head, so as to hide the auburn hair, and with a decided arrogant tread, passed the grou-p in haughty spirits. Jimmie had forgotten his wounded toe, under the strength of a new grief lfurious, he burst forth in a fit of passion- Ycs, she is my girl, and sheis my sweetheart, too, and if you dare to call her pink-headed again I'll knock you down. I The next day at school a little girl, ia front of James Brown, wrote something on her slate, and then held it up that the person behind might read. I - 'Tlifl thc can hurt you, yesterday?

I That the plea might seem more' sincere, he passed her the pretty red apple which he had brought for his lunch. But the conquest was lost, the catastrophe must come. On Sunday af- ternoon the old ,bus lumbered up to the lVIcMurtry house, and Sarah, accom- panied by her parents and a huge carpetbag, ste-pped in bravely. The little girl looked her very prettiest, in a pink gingham, starched to the utmost, and a snow-white sunbonnet, pulled carefully over the curls and tied on by dainty strings in a bow-knot under her chin. Wfhen all were safely tucked in for the journey to the station and the driver had lodged himself in his high box, he cracked the long whip, the horses gave a lunge and the 'bus responded with a jerk,-and Sarah started -off to school. At the first turn of the road, the fair princess and her retinue were joinedby agallant knight, in purple jeans and a straw helmet, seated upon a fiery, noble steed, with all the dignity of a crusa.der. Encouraged by the coquettish glance, from 'behind the sunbonnet, he rode as close as possible to his lady love, never speaking a word, however. VVhen she seemed to forget about him, he spurred his old nag until he answered the pricks with alternate balks and prancing ste-ps. If this did not prove sufficient t-o arrest the attention of the young lady within, he exhibited other feats of horseman- ship.

D. C. Prize Essay.j I-IE time has come when we can do justice to the brave heroes of .the I South and North, who have long gone to the grave. The iwarr1OrS who once rode to battle at the head of hostile armies are now in the realm of glory where all enmity is buried forever. A great war can never be forgotten but a civil war has a still more tragic interest, as it is a war be- tween brothers, fathers and sons.. There is a bitterness between them, yet all the while, deep down in their hearts there is a tenderness, that takes other times and scenes to awaken. VVhen we, the children and grandchil- dren of old Confederate soldiers, gaze back upon the period of civil war which occurred in t-he great annals of our history, we cannot realize the struggles, the hardships, the trials, that they had to undergo for their cause. If Wfhen the great figures of Lee and jackson pass before us on the canvas of history we recognize them as actors in a time that is forever past. VVe claim them as belonging to us, and their illustrious names will always remain a watchword to the noble sons and daughters of the Southland. The cena tral ngure of our civil war was beyond all question, that of Robert Lee. His calm, broadumilitary intellect reduced the chaos after Donelson, to order. But jackson, the hero of the Shenandoah Valley, was the motive power that executed, with the rapidity of lightning, all that Lee could plan. Lee was the exponent of the Southern power of command, jackson the ex- pression of its faith in God and in itself, its terrible energy, its enthusiasm and daring, its unconquerable will, its capacity to smite, as with bolts of thunder, the cruel foe that would trample under foot its liberty. QI jackson was the most picturesque .Hgure in the war. N-ot so high in command as General Lee, or General Grant, but neither had a personality so unique. In jackson there were two men in one-military genius of the highest order, with a religious fervor that bordered on fanaticism, a union of the soldiers and the saint for which we must O' l k go Jac to the time of Cromwell to find. A character in which such traits are combined is one of the most fascinating studies to be found in history. II This brilliant soldier was first heard of in our war with Mexico. Here the young Virginian, in a brief ,space 'of time, attracted the attention of his generals and became one of the most,-promising young officerg of the army. Soon after returning from Mexico, jackson obtained a Professorship in the Virginia Military Institute, and continued in the performance of the important duties of this position until the breaking out of the Civil Wal- in THE GLEAM 61 the spring of 1861. Then the tirrre for the full display of the great faculties of his soul came. Peace might have left forever hidden the profound genius of the man, but the bloody hand of' war was laid upon the country, and the quiet professor was to shape and rrrold the great events of a mighty period in the history of the world. Cromwell might have remained a merchant- Iackson an unknown professorg but for both of these iron souls, Providence had decreed their work. II The year 1861 opened, big with porterrts.

After the hard fought battle of Manassas, the stern soul of jackson, the soldier, rejoiced within him but the childlike heart, the humble Christian, was full of pity for his brave soldiers, who wore the gray, and of prayer to God for their success. At this point the star of jackson mounted toward the zenith-it was the star of victory. n jackson, was an intense man-concentrating all his faculties, upon the object in view, and striking heavy blows when once the combat began. To go on striking with all his force-to advance, to be the aggressor, to fight to the end, was his philosophy of war. All of' his designs had a grand sim- plicity about them- Advance and fight, seemed to be his motto. His will was enormous, his strength of purpose invincible. The unconquerable will of the man seemed to defy all opposing forces, and to wring victory from the very doors of Fate. Under the calm exterior the sweet, almost angelic smile, there was a tenacity of purpose so unbending-a resolution so stern and obdurate, a will so gigantic, that he seemed to possess the power of over- whelming all human opposition. A QI jackson was a man of earnestness and singleness of- purpose. He did not throw away his strength upon small objects. or unimportant things. He had the faculty which has characterized the great judicial minds of the statesmen and lawyers of England,-the power of discerning the main ob- stacle in his path, and of so- disposing his forces as to assail it to the best advantage. Like the painter, who, when criticized for his multitudinous touches, replied, These may seem trifles, but they secure perfection, and perfection is no triflel'-he never rested until he had seen in person that all things were attended to, down to the minutest details: rightly thinking that the grand result was worth any amount of trouble. jackson's tenacity of purpose was invincible. Never has a soul of more stubborn nerve been born into the world. He refused to recognize the possibility of defeat, and never knew when he was whipped. He struck boldly, but formed his plans in secret. Mystery with jackson was the herald of victory. He talked little, and measured his words when speaking of military affairs. ll Sincerity, purity, truthfulness in thought, word and deed, lit up the path upon which he walked and made him beautiful in the eyes of the brave men and women of Dixieland. The people, generally, admired him for his mili- tary successesg but the character of the individual was the passport to that truly extraordinary love and admiration which saluted him wherever he moved. Few men have ever been purer or more guileless. ,He had the sim- plicity of a , were more fully recoffnized, seemed only to make him more retiring.

One of j'ackson's dearest friends wrote the following tribute to the great general: General jackson is one of the purest men I ever knew. He is far above all political or personal considerations. He is a Christian patriot, deeply impressed with the cause in which he has unsheathed his sword and, de- pending upon the aid of a just God, determined to win the freedom of his country, or perish in the holy effort... 1 II jackson was no accidental manifestation of the powers of faith and courage. He came not by chance in that day and generation. He was born for a purpose and that purpose he fulfilled to his dying day. Wfe now come to the most sorrowful part of the brave General's career-that of his last days and hours. VVhen jackson entered the fields at Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863, he little dreamed that the death angel was awaiting him on that Field. After the battle and while the wound of the famous soldier attracted tolhim the warmest sympathy and drew forth the earnest prayers of many thousands for his recovery, some few realized that death was near at hand. It was not the loss of the leader only, that men mourned, it was the friend, the benefactor, the father that the people feared would be taken from them. General Lee, who knew his incomparable 'value more than all other men, exclaimed, with tears in his eyes, He is better off than I am. He lost his left arm but I lost my rightli' During the last moments of life he sent messages to all his friends, the generals, and murmured in a low voice his wish to be buried in HLexington, in the Valley of Virginia. 'fLexington! d l'Oil t t dwell ubon the toil- That town had witnessed the peaceful labors of the professor, the calm re- searches of the quiet student, the serene enjoyments of the noble husband and friend. From here he had departed to enter upon the career which made his name a famous one forever, in the annals of a mighty nation-to crown him with glory and honor as the right arm and chief hope of the people. From Lexington where he had been so happy, he went upon that path of danger and trial which rendered him so famous. I-Ie murmured H y- ,U l - - . l ' 7 Rliexington.

In that earth which he had redeemed-the soil of the Valley of Virginia-he desired his ashes to repose. Thus fought and fell the great hero who had attracted to himself so much of the affection, the respect, the admiration of his countrymen-thus passed 'before the eyes of the world, and into the shadow, the lofty figure which will live forever in the memories of the Southern people, as in every heart. J 66 THE 'GLEAM' I ' I t Arr. 99 Halma nf Qlnial Ahaitmenrr in ti mfr WWW , Alcohol and Tobacco. E all know alcohol is a fermentation, and tobacco is a weed. Liquors are made by distilling fermented fruit or grain, and known as glll, whiskey, rum, or brandy, according to the substance used in the be ginning. But they all contain about the same amount of narcotic poison. Tobacco is a native plant of America, used for smoking, chewing and snuf- ring. Its leaves are prepared by being dried and manufactured. It has a strong, peculiar smell, and an acrid taste. The nicotine from it is rank poison. Both alcohol and tobacco can be taken in such quantities as to paralyze the great nerve centers. There have been cases where whiskey has been taken thus. QI ' A taste for alcohol may be acquired by eating pies, puddings, sauces, or jellies, flavored with wine, rum or brandy. I would think very little of a woman who would use such in her cooking. Many think it right to treat their friends to beer or wine, but it is only asking them to injure their health. Such treating is to be -classed as impud-ence rather than courtesy or friend- ship, andcan only be rightfully considered by one who fully understands the true nature -of such substance. People who furnish wines or liquors at a party, dinner or any entertainment, are virtually offering poisonous drinks, and it can never be called a true act of intelligence or hospitality. It is the placing of temptation, too strong to be resisted, in the way of an in- herited or acquired appetite. - QI Alcohol taken into thes tomach is bound to irritate the lining. It is a medical fact that alcohol, applied to a fresh cut or very delicate skin, will burn fiercely. Then how much worse will it burn the delicate lining of the stomach, and the other digestive organs. In its passage it is absorbed and carried to all parts of the body with the food. It is a false th-ough -popular notion, that wines are helpful to digestion, for they all contain a large per cent of alcohol. II Roberts shows that alcohol, even in small doses, diminishes the activity the several structures of the body, and especially in young people, an arrest in the secretion of pepsin, which is very necessary to digestion. Xwolff Shoyys that the habitual use of alcohol produces a disorder -of the stomach to such a degree as to render it incapable of responding to the digestion of a normal amount of food. II So you see the study of all these scientists come to. the same conclusion. namely that alcohol is m-ore of a poison than a food. THE GLEAM 67 II The use of tobacco either in smoking or chewing affects the mouth and stomach, while the alcohol edects mostly the stomach. Tobacco causes the glands of the mouth to secrete an unnatural amount of saliva, this of course weakens the glands and causes a dryness of the throat which leads to drink- ing. Many have been the cases of dyspepsia caused by the use of tobacco, but rarely can the person be convinced that tobacco is the cause of the trouble. Under such influences the movements of the heart are irregular, feeble and iiuttering. From a special case I know of a severe pain about the heart and often dizziness is caused, with gasping and sometimes an extreme pallor and fainting. ll Alcoholic liquors tend to retard growth of the cells, bone cells included and prevent proper development. If bones are defrauded of their proper food because the blood sent to nourish their calls is loaded with narcotic, they will be undersized and weakened. Smoking also -prevents a healthy nutrition of the several structures of the body, and especiallyiin young people, an anest of growth. Evidence of nerve exhaustion and irritability have again and again impressed a lesson of abstinence which has hitherto been far too little regarded. A lack of control is shown in the speech, each word requiresian extra. exertion of the muscles of the mouth, tongue, palate' and throat. The of the eye are not harmonious. This is one reason a drunken man sees doublet or is said to see snakes. e QI Cigarettes can not be too severely condemned, for they do a great deal of harm to muscles as well as the other :parts of the body. A boy that uses cigaretts can generally be picked out. He smells bad-to begin with, but that is not the worst part of it. You can tell from the way he acts that there is something wrong with his mind and body. .They are generally a year or more behind the other boys. The fact that fewer boys graduate than girls might be a conclusion from the use of tobacco and liquor. You can easily tell the work of a boy that has used cigarettes. I have noticed boys act cl-eepy and lazy as they come into the schoolroom, and in tracing the cause we found it to be the use of cigarettes. VVe girls find they do not make enjoyable company, and the thoughtless boys who cannot take a- warning go on and on in the old stupid way. 11 The armies of great nations are -often called upon to take at short notice long campaigns in almost every climate of the'world. Most modern armies are therefore handled upon a strictly scientific plan. Experiments have been made with a test of a daily ration of alcoholic liquor to-men ex-posed to tropi- cal climat-es, and forced to endure every variety of l121fClShiP5' Them feslllts from the British in the Boer campaign in South Africa show that the soldiers marches with no strong liquor than they could when it could endure longer , was allowed them Some of England's ablest generals who handle 21f1111CS, have strictly forbidden the supply ofalcoholic .liquor to any UOTOPS Undef their egmmand. They took this step from experienceg first that the physical .V 1 ',Y': .-fi V.- 45 at .Aft Q' reigns are slackened, words are cut short, left out, or misplacedi- The muscles 68 THE GLEAM condition 'of troops would be enormously improved and the men .Would l1HVC much greater staying -powers while their determination and- steadmess would also be increased. Second, the mental and moral stamina of th-e troops would be preserved in a far greater degree than could p-ossibly be the case if a1C0l1Ol were served them. The result of this has been that the health, spirits. and con- 'duct of the troops have been the admiration of all who have had dealings with them. So this experiment on a large scale has been unqualified success. QI Experiments also prove that men were able to do an increased amount of work for a short time under the influence of alcoho-l, but they could not stand sustained labor or exposure. The men of some of the regiments who were allowed liquor began their marching well, but after a short time it was found that they lagged and were surpassed in the end by the soldier who had not been allowed the liquor. Also such men as athletes, base ball and foot ball trainers, and all others who take part in severe physical contests understand that alcohol and tobacco will put to naught the most elaborate and costly system of physical training. , II The demand of modern life calls for a sound body., He who indulges in alc-o-holic drinksior 'tobacco runs a great risk of having a weak body instead of a sound one. Total abstinence from alcohol and tobacco is the only sure goal toimental and physical strength. U II i'The tobacco habit is not only injurious to health but is a drawback on scholarship and character, for it weakens the will, diminishes theppower of application and lowers the tone of thought and feeling. The power of self control which is the most difficult of the human faculties to acquire, and the last to be fully attained, is the first to be weakened by alcohol or tobacco. For example, some men intend to take only one drink, or one smoke, but that one indulgence may so weaken the mastery of themselves that they must have another, and often another and another. This is the history of practically every drunkard, while the exam-ple of those who drink, but do not become drunkards, leads astray thousands of others whose nervous systems are more quickly injured. The once active will power of the man who has become the victim of alcohol is a thing of the past. He can no longer resist the feeblest impulse to temptation. The grand faculty of self contr-ol is .lost and as a result the baser instincts of his lower nature are now uppermost, greed and appetite are often unrestrained. The moral power of such a man is also drag- ged down to the lowest ebb. The H1161' sensibilities of character are deadenedg pride of personal appearance, self respect and proper regard for the good opinion of others is gone and at last even decency disappears. Conviction of right and wrong now finds little place in his nature, co-nscience is silenced and dishonesty prevails, THE GLEAM Qft' KX XDX X 3 ALA'-ff-f X V K ly: f 325-Q l X77 x f Xw U! was ttf' KK in X xxx l Z X-,IX S!

Although great interest had been shown on .the part of the p-up1lS 6 in this important course of study, no especial attention was g1VC11 to It by outsiders, but this year the public seemed t-o recognize the real value and importance of such a course in our school, as shown by the prize of 32a in gold offered by the Bank of Independence, to the student making the high- est average in American History. History gives the pupil a greater breadth of view, possibly, more than any other subject, for one is continually called upon to use historical facts he has learned. He sees history is a chain in which link is a fact and by the time .American History is studied he is able to see the continuity, the unity, of it all. In order to make good citizens one must understand fully the origin and the operation of our government. By studying the lives of our forefathers who fought so faithfully and earnest- ly for the liberties which we enjoy today, our ideals are raised, and we can better appreciate the liberties they have won for us. . lf The economic and political -progress of our c-ountry today, shows that here labor-saving inventions have reached the highest perfection, here steam was first used for purposes of transportation, and electricity first. employed to transmit intelligence. Our progress on higher planes is still more evident. In our' country, free public scho-ols and free public libraries have been es- tablished on a higher scaleg manhood suffrage has become the ruleg entire religious tolerance granted to all men. XNithin the lifetime of a generation our government grew stronger, and within the same time slavery was abolished forever. The Union has had a truer, nobler, and stronger birth in the hearts of the people. p S. B. P. '1O. WASHINGTON A HERO.

Then may we not say that he is four heroes in one?

Many times in going to and from our Italian Baptist church, I have lingered a moment in front of this stately building, and have thought, VVhat must it have been in the splendor of its white 1T12LTlD1C Zllld dome 'Of shining gilt bronze ! ' i 1 II The Colosseum stands very near to the Arch of Constantine, and is said to be the mo-st wonderful ruin in thesworld. This amphitheatre of ,Imperial Rome covered six acres of ground and could accommodate eighty thousand spectators' seats on tiers all around. The exterior of the building consists of four stories of arches supported by half-engaged pillars, the style of archi- tecture changing at each tier. Unfortunately a great many of the lower arches have disappeared. The interior is a noble wreck, showing the sub- terranean passages and the steps leading to them, from which the wild beasts entered the arena. It is interesting to climb the crumbling steps leading to different parts -of the building, even to the upper galleries, which were occupied by the common people. VVh-at pages o-f history this slaughter- house of Ancient Rome recalls! This and the Mamertine Prison are perhaps among the most notable monuments to the martyrdom of the. early Chris- tians. It was a significant fact that the Sunday school convention which met in this city a few years ago held one of its sessions in this same arena in which so many of the early Christians were sacrificed to wild beasts. Q . II Cn the banks of the historic Tiber which divides Rome int-o- two unequal parts, is IrIadria.n's Tomb or Castel Sant'-.Angelo as it is now called. Ha- drian built it as a mausoleum for 'himself and his successors. -At different times in its history, it has been used for various purposes: lately it has been a military prison, but the present plan in to convert it into a museum of war-implements and machinery. From the top -one gets a magnihcent view of Rome. Very near to it is the new Palace of Justice, said to be the finest Law Court of any yet erected. ' II I shall never forget my visit to the English Cemetery. The car runs along the Tiber, passes the Temple of Vesta and the historical Tiberine Island, near which stood the celebrated wooden bridge which I-Ioratius Cocles and his c-ompanions defended against the Etruscan army under Lars Porsenna. The Cemetery is just inside the city walls, in sight of the Pyramid of'Caius Cestus, which stands by the Porta S. Paolo. Many English and Americans are buried here, far from home, in the land of the Caesars. Shelley declared that- the possibility of being buried in so sweet a place was enough to make one in love with death. I-Ie was drowned, and his body, havingbeen Washed ashore at Viareggio, was cremated, according to his will, in the presence of Lord' Byron. Only his heart is buried here. The tombst'one'bears. a Latin inscription, with a quotation from Shakespeare: ' ' Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change, Into something rich and strange THE GLEAM 75 QI The body -of John Keats also rests here, and on the marble slab above the grave are these pathetic lines: This grave contains all that was mortal of a young English poet who, on his death-bed, in the bitterness of his heart, at the malicious power of his enemies, desired these Words to be written on his tombstone: Here lies one wfhose namef wfas W1-it in yvateyf Feb' 27, 1824?

Sleep on,n-ot honored less for epitaph so meek. Keat's house is in Piazza di Spagua, to the right of the Spanish stairs.

There are usually pretty good guesses made as to who will be the lucky one, but this year, more than ever before, there are doubts concerning the winner. Miss Chiles expressed the sentiment of all concerned when she said, I have no idea who will get it. There was only one hardship imposed upon the Senior Mathematics class this year. Wie 'were deprived of the pleasure of studying Psychology and Astronomy under the direction of Prof. Bryant since our Mathematics class reported at the same hour.

These machines are exceedingly useful, for getting out stock, not only for the High School but the ward Schools also. There has been no accident of any kind in the shop this year, al- though the machines are dangerous. W7e rae enabled to do about twice the work with these labo-r-saving devices as before. The lathe work is also a remarkable feature of the shop, with ten wood turning lathes each equipped with a one-halfxhorse power. ln the course of a year we are able to turn out quite a variety of -models. The work on these machines is v-ery fascinating but it 'takes an accurate and steady hand to excel in this work. This year we turned out dumb bells, rolling pins, base ball bats, goblets, puff boxes, pictureframes, napkin rings, jewel trays and many other models. Before we can take 'lathe work, we must have a year of bench work. , Bench work is the basis of woodcraft, since the knowledge and use of tools has to be learned. From the very first our instructo-r insisted upon instruction before construction, thereforei first, mechanical 'drawing is taught- The 511013 is well liglltecl and on dark days the electri drop lightc are used.

This year we have worked mostly in black and white-not so many pretty pictures aslgood hard-tone studies. Nothing can be better in help- ing one in the several branches of Art than this study of values. A pupil would not naturally paint a green vase red, but she might miss the massing of light and shade that rounds the thing into standing out like the real object. The effects of this study of the relation of high light and shadows, are shown in this year's excellent test work. The medal pieces are almost all beautifully done, even if the girls are all juniors. :Qc :Ez :jr :1: :iz :lc As to my own work as a has been star, one of the proudest moments of my High School life was when I stood on the stage of l909 and received my little red velvet box. I was so frightened I nearly stumbled off the stage and my beautiful new medal had the wrong name engraved on it-but what did that matter-were not the Ten-ors fairly shouting Hokey Pok'ey!', Yes, of course, I have future schemes of rose-colored dreams, but they are inharmoniously mixed with blues', because they take me away off from home. - R, S, I just think! I-Ias it really been tw-or whole years since we, thexfilgass of '08, were preparing for the publishers the very best Gleam that had 'e fever been published in the history of the Independence High School? Little Elin I think then that I should some day attend the VVarrensburg. State Normal. Fortunately, that is where I am now. As I cannot tell you about the whole school, I shall try to tell you something about the Art department. The studio consists -of three large, well-lighted rooms, splendidly equip- ped and, to my mind, the most attractive rooms in the building. The work here differs from the work in most schools in that it is principally for the training of teachers. However, there are advanced classes, as well as method classes, which do some very fine work in perspective, pencil, charcoal, and color. The work under Miss Shannon, who is one of the best in her line, is a constant source of enjoyment to every art student. Every day she has something new and of interest to present to her classes in her own delightful way. I only wish every art student among you could be here and take a part in the work. Now, every department of the Norman is fully as good as the Art de- partment and the only way to find out about them is to come down here and see for yourself. 86 .

Entrance into either the Boys' Glee Club or Girl's Glee Club is dependent upon the musical qualification of the appli- cant. Wie have endeavored to search out and enroll in the Glee Clubs the best voices of the school. A The regular mu-sic classes meet Tuesday and Friday mornings of each week. Entrance into the classes is elective and one year's work is credited one point. It is not the purpose of the music classes to turn out full fledged artists, but rather to foster and promote the highest ideals of good music: to broaden the musical knowledge of the school through a study of good chorusesg to stimulate the interest in music through a study of the folk music of dif- ferent countries, the lives of the great composers and through a knowledge 6 of the orchestral instrumentsg to quicken the ear through the ability to iecognize different combinations of tonesg to help and encourage the indi- vidual voice through well chosen exercises and vocal drill. In doing these things we assume that the pupil coming from the grade school is already able to read music by note, that he knows the construction of tl ' ' ' ' ' ie majoi and minor scales and is able to recognize and represent inter- vals which he hears. Wfe need aniorchestra. So far we have not been able for one. There are several violins coming from the eighth but we must have some wind instruments You bo s i - -- y and cornet, trombone, clarinet or flute at home, vet to worl tl ' t-o find material grade next year, girls who hav a 6 i tis summer and learn to play.

Did you ever stop to think what you are missing when you leave it out .gf your life, when you do not take it into your own self, make it a part of yourself? There is a great big, fine world opened to music lovers, and for them pleasures wherever they may be, There's music in the sighing of a reed, There's music in the gushing ofia rill, There's music in all things, it men had earsg Their music is but an echo of the spheres. -Bryon. ASSEMBLY MUSIC. 'Tis said we can all advance and so it is with us-with our High School in the advancement made this year. And what is this great step? you may ask, and I will say, The introduction of music, not only as a subject, but a pleasure, so thus you see we're always progressing in work -or pleasure as it may be. ' The music of our Morning Assemblies is certainly the first great step in this line, for not only does it reach those that have joined theemusic classes, but all who sing for the pleasure of singing, and those who know and enjoy the old mel-odies. Wfith this soul thrilling atmosphere about us of a morning-the time that will start our day aright-all are filled with a sense of joy in duty and a greater enjoyment of the day's work. ,Professor Sexton, the staunch supporter of all good things, is leader of this morning music, and with such a one, who could help but sing! This portion of the school day varies, indeed, some times one thing and then another-a familiar hymn or patriotic song that always thrills all young and old Americans, and I think Independence students can sing, The Wfatch on the Rhine as devotedly as a number of young Germans. Then, too, some times it is the old home melodies that all can sing and enjoy. 1 I ' ' '7 Yes, we sing, and sing enthusiastically until I rofessor Bryant casually nods his head, and then we hush and listen for something as enjoyable as the music has been. And thus our day begins. F. D. '1O. ALTO. Olga Dunfn Minnie Scott V Jessie fGrifHn Selma Wfilson Chloe Hickman Hel-ena Fuchs Mary Gentry Lola Prewitt.

The Independence High School rang' out with its sweetest musrc on the evening of April the first, when the two Glee Clubs united and gave :r con- cert for the benefit of the Athletic department of the school. Its tones were rich and full, as it proclaimed the delight and love for the beautiful, which music has brought into our school. As Plato says, Rhythm and.har- mony find their way into the secret places of the soul, on which they might- ily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul graceful of him who rs rightly educated? On entering the auditorium one was put into the spirit of music by the delightful atmo-sphere created by the fragrance of the cherry blossoms, apple blossoms, and lilacs, which so artistically decorated the stage. The heavy intoxicating odor from the Howers made one forget the busy world outside, and he found himself buried in a world of fancy, which only those who have souls for music can enjoy.

K - p 'Jw N adding a 'department of Dgramatics to the Gleam, this year, we are introducing an entirely new feature that may or may not prove a suc- cess. Wfe cannot tell whether the same idea will be continued by the annuals that are to follow, and we do not know whether our introduction of the idea will be forcible or important enough to insure this department a permanent place in the following issues. But this year, we cannot feel otherwise than interested in Dramatic Art, as a study and benefit as well as a pleasure. Wfe feel that we have attempted and attained more along this line than any class before us. And is it not that which interests us, that which has done much to influence our school-life, that which brings us before the school and the public and best shows our spirit and class-work that should have a place in our year-book and be represented in our Gleam ? QI Perhaps, we Hrst felt a touch of this idea in our junior Reception last year. It was our beginning in the line of Dramatics, and the universal suc- cess of The Mikado fully demonstrated the fact that it was a most remark- able beginning. Our interest in Dramatic Art was're-awakened in our Senior year with our first awkward attempt at scenes from Shakespeare in the English work. Our abilities and tastes along this line were fostered by the very remarkable development of our dramatic qualities in presenting Shakespearian art. Our growth was notable enough that, as the climatic point in our stage career, we produced School, the almost ideal High School play, the best ever presented at I. H. S. Truly, from our mo-st note- worthy successes, it has been said we have surpassed all classes thus far. No juniors ever gave such a Reception as we. No Seniors ever devoted time, study, and ability to the presentation of Shakespeare as the Class of '1O. And finally, has there C?j ever been in the history of I. H. S. such a display of Dramatic Art as in School?'l ll. il-jerchance, we have had advantages above other classes. But, as some critic said, let the following juniors and Seniors -profit from and follow the THE GLEAM Q5 ideas introduced this year. So far, though, there has been nothing in our school conducive or suggestive of such a line of work among the students except the annual Senior Play. Every lligh School has a course in Elocu- tion, Expression, or Dramatics, and why should we not? But let us hope that in a year or more, when the Dramatic Department is prepared for the iiGlG31l1,,i it will be in regular, well-arranged form as all our other depart- ments, as a course of study, as one of the most interesting and beneficial things in the life of the students of the Independence High School. 011 the eve of May twenty-first, nineteen hundred and nine, we, the Junior Class of that year, established ourselves as a class worth more than shooting, as we had not been considered before said date, by most of the Faculty, as well as the august Senior Class of 1909. Wfe being a conser- vative body, naturally considered a display of our brightness, before this date, to be out -of the question. But as the saying is there is a time ap- pointed for everything,', of course it was bound to come. The cause of the event being that the Senior Class having decided to graduate it was our duty, as several members of the Faculty informed us, to give them a reception. EX-President Hickerson rose to the occasi-en, and straightway appointed a committee, which proved itself to be one of the most wonderful and capable ever chosen to engineer any affair in the Independence High School. Not only should this wise deed be laid at her door, but also that of appointing a sponser whose praises we will never cease to sing. It is needless to call her name, but for the sake of those who do not take the daily papers, and did not hear about her, in behalf o-f my class. in all love and gratitude I mention the name of Miss Edith Stoner. From the time that she was appointed. until the evening of our debut, as a class, she worked with us. Noprofessional could have taken more pains with his masterpiece by which he hoped to make himself famous, than Miss Stoner took in instructing us. Thus by her help we gave one of the most wonderful productions Cunless it was the Senior class play of 19lOj, ever presented to an audience.

Almost the only entertainment offered this over-worked and weary class dur- ing the last days of its stay within the High Schoolwalls is the Junior Reception. This reception, generally given upon the Friday before the commen-cement exercises, has become quite an institution in the social life of the school, taking its place with the Senior play and the class day exercises, in point of interest. It is hard to tell who look for- ward to this event with more interest-the juniors or Seniors. For, while there is inli- nite satisfaction in being host at a particularly well-planned and successful receptions, there is also great pleasure in considering the fact that one is the guest of hono-r for whom so much forethought has been taken. Wfe Seniors of 1909 felt perfectly justified in expecting a unique and original entertain- ment, and with the arrival of the invitations this impression was deepened. These invita- -1915 91125 IIZHAA palaiooap Airuuep 9.19m suoil low chrysanthemums, which, together with the quaint phraseology, conveyed to the more alert minds a hint of the nature of our entertain- ment, Of course the juniors always strive to keep their plans f-or the reception strictly se- i i THE GLEAM Q7 cret, but vague rumors, coupled with distant and familiar strains of music, floating up from the auditorium to our ears' as we were hurried, protesting, from the huilding every afternoon for weeks before the eventU served t-o- strengthen our growing suspicions as to the character of our surprise. Un.the appointed Friday night we Seniors arrived at the High School to find it completely transformed. The halls had been made quite attractive with decorations and pennants. In one end of the lower hall stood a Hower- laden table, holding a huge block of ice, from which delicious punch was served. The time passed quickly in chatting with our classmates and instruc- tors until we suddenly noticed that all the Juniors had disappeared, and pres- ently the guests were invited to the auditorium. After all were seated, -the curtain went up amidst a chorus of admiration,,f-or there before tis was fa perfect bower of green and white, the la.tticed background being conipletely hidden by a profusion of snowballs and locust blossoms. VVhen tliei-piam-is-t had finished -playing the overture, a bevy of artistically V-clad Japanese maid- ens made their entrance and sang the opening chorus. From the rising to the falling of the curtain, the audience was kept in a turmoil of laughter over the witty sayings and amusing situations. The Mikado had been adapted to depict in its different roles, certain members of our class, and the idiosyncrasies of each Senior were relentlessly exposed. This was all so well done that for sheer cleverness and originality the entire performance cannot easily be surpassed. In the midst of the usual clamor of congratulations, we were again in- vited upstairs, where another surprise awaited us. The sliding doors be- tween Professor Bryant's study and Miss Brownls class room had been thrown open and the two rooms transformed beyond all semblance to the original school rooms. The chairs and superfluous furniture had been re- moved and the floors covered with soft rugs. Small tabourets and numerous pillows were placed throughout the rooms. japanese parasols and lanterns depended from the ceilings: japanese tapest-ries and screens concealed the unsightly blackboards and bare corners: while vases of Japanese pottery filled with delicate Howers completed the charming and artistic ensemble. The refreshments served here by girls in Japanese COstu111CS. WCFC C1U1'ff1' 111 accord with the Oriental atmosphere.

School', was the exceedingly modest title of the very brilliant drama, produced by the Qlass of 410 in the audlitorium of the l-ligh School, on December second and third, The play was magnificently staged, the impersona- tions wonderfully realistic and the lines per- fectly rendered. But why not this perfect ren- dition wh'en the east was sim-ply a galaxy of stats, surrounded and supported by a veritable rosebud garden df school girls,. each one of whom might be truly called the 'queen rose. The play itself was admii-ably adapted ,to Vigh School work. Itsi moral tone was whole-. some and uplifting and itsxplot interesting in the extreme. It kept the audience ink a happy state of expectancy, from the rising of the cur- tain to, the happy denouement. Each one of the eight principal characters,'was-so perfectly portrayed, that itfwouild indeed ble difficult to decide wholwasy the greatest artist. ' . Now just one wor'd fair the individual mem- bers of this most-'excellent cast. At the head of the English schooli where the scenes of this interesting drama were supposed to have taken place were Dr, and Mrs. Sutcliffe, viz., Eric Cook and Maud Reyner. These were very in- teresting characters, and the audience was greatly 'amused by the fervent devotion and apparent jealousy of Mrs Sutcliffe. Connected with School, was the villainous Mr, Kruxf' who truly deserves the epithet. A Veritablc Uriah Heep. The audience could scarcely imagine that it was the presidentiof McDonald, who was enacting this part so skill- 100 THE GLEAM 111- direct Qgntrast to Mr, Kruxf' was' thefastidious old English gent e- man, :'Beau Farintosfh QNelson Riderb.

D rp ' Anyone knowing Mark Godman would have immediately recognized' his lordly air and proud demeanor in the role of Lord Beaufoyg' but the best friends of Pauline Shepherd, would scarcely have known her as the shy, de- mure little orphan, . Bella. Sweet, indeed, was the ,thread of romance run- ning through these two lives, and the one word, charming, may be truthfully applied to both. Taken as a whole, the cast displayed wonderful dramatic ability, and the class of 1910 may rest assured that this play was par excellence-the Queen of all our High School plays. A REHEARSAL.

It was truly heart-rending, yet possessing a sort of wierd fascination to see how many could aim at the same vase a-n-d jar and hit it so differently. ' It seemed as if we had been locked out, besides Seniors are ever apt to make their presence known. But soon our ever faithful Wfebster appeared with the key, and into the hall we poured in high spirits.

At last 9:30 came and with it, Mr. Jones, - Places, folks, times flies, were his. first words. But Lord Beaufoy is not here, wailed Bella, Soon Mark came loitering in. Late as usual, Mark.

Foot ball has long been one of the leading sc loo sp 4 D ing' of the crisp October days every young American becomes possessed with the desire to don foot ball togs and get out to kick and chase the pigskm. The rough and tumble of ,foot ball is just what is needed to toughen up the skin and muscles for the cold of winter. 'In late years there' has been much talk, either of banishing foot ball from the schools and colleges of America, or of moderating it to a tamer game, but it is not likely to be banished entirely, for what would a school be without foot ball? True, it is rough, but this world is full of 'cuffs and bluffs, and foot ball teaches us how to receive them. The 1909 season of foot ball at Independence High School has been a red letter year. VVe have won every game but one, which was a tie, and have only been scored against once, while on the other hand, we have run up large scores on the opposing teams. The first call for volun- teers was answered by about thirty or forty willing players, out of which Mr. Sexton picked one of the fastest teams that the school has ever had. Our hist game was with Columbia Business College whom we drubbed soundly This one sided victory aroused great intei est in the team through out the xx hole town and at our next game, which took place at Liberty, we weie escorted by a laige crowd of iooters This Game ended in a tie nothing to nothing and was one of our haidest battles Our next game was also hard fouoht Spauldmgs Business College was the opposition and they out weighed us ten pounds to the man In the hist half Spauld ing s secured a touch down on a fluke but failed to kick goal But grit and deteimination win and we came back in th second half by scoring a touch down and kicking goal This gave us the victoiy for after this neither side was able to score Throughout the season each game was marked by biilliant plays the line iunnmg of Fiank McCar1ol, our full back and captain the cool headedness of quarteibacks Kelly and Sermon the kicking of halfback Kelley the tackling of our ends Lyle McCa1rol and Cushwa and above all the strength and glll of the whole lme lwol lowing is the line up and scoies foi the season Frank NlcCa11ol Fullback Tefleuce Kelley xight halfback james Millei Left halfback Lmlm Kelley Ray Seimon Qtlairterljaclqs Geoige Wfallace Vlfallace Kelly l l orts.

Basket ball has in the last few years, come to be the most popular of winter schooltisports. Independence High School has always had a fast team, and this year's has kept up the record. Both the school and the t-own have alwaysvshown great interest in the game, and this year with the com- ing of--.Mir Sexton, the interest has been greater than ever. The first call for players was heartily welcomed. The picking of the team was not dif- ficult, forall the players on last year's team had returned, and there was also some new material, which later developed into good players. Class teamswere -organized, and a series of games were played, which resulted in a tie between the Seniors and Sophomores. Thus a very fast first team was developed. A midget team and also a girls' team were organized, the first for aboutffour years. The whole schedule of the school team has been al- most as complete line of victories, Out of fifteen games, we have won twelve, and th-oseilost have all been by close scores. The Midgets have done as well if not better than this, having mon every game, although they have not played so many At every game throughout the season, large crowds have turned out in spite of the cold building in which the games were played And let us not forget to mention the support and good will of the townspeople whose attitude toward us was shoun by Stuiges K Duffendack, who pre sented us with an official basket ball which was used throughout the season The success of the teams this year shows everyone the need of a place in which to practice and play our Games A gymnasium is needed here very badly and in a year oi two we shall undoubtedly have one Iollowmg are the line ups and scores of each team 6 rn fb FIRST TEAM LINE UP RRY Sefmfm Right forward Clay Cushwa captain Left for-Xvard George W'allace Center Ernest Roberts Rlght guard Wfebster McDonald Left Ouard Emlm Kelly Kenneth Bostian Subs I M Sexton Manager and Coach if Q U2 MIDGET S LINE UP Sam Frank Maiden Left folward Charlie Foster, Ray Sermon Camels Edwin Carroll R Guy Rudd Left Ouard I M Sexton Manager and Coach b u in 1 n I Y - . - b 4 1 b , ' . i i I - S A ' 1 - - l 17 ' ' ' 1 - .

VVe have lived our life of four short years and now We wish to take our place with the Alumni-that great, broad, interesting, instructive, inspiring association which the Independence High School has not. And there is no reason why we should no-t have such an organization, one that would in some manner keep every graduate in touch with the sch-ool and school life. If such an association could be formed, it would lead to higher things, the city would become inter- 'ested and then, perhaps, We would have our gymnasium. It would be great and broad, for the High School graduates are, without doubt, numero-us. It would be interesting, for what varied plans for school enjoyment could we not discuss and carry out. It would be instruc- tive, for what wonderful things are our fertile brains not able to create that would increase our knowledge.. It would be inspiring, for who dares to admit that such a body would not be inspired, and therefore be able tfo cast abroad their inspirations. ' A Since the Class of 1910 has not been able to accom- plish this deed, we leave it to following classes to form the Alumni Association. ' THE GLEAM 115 Messages From Previous Classes. tl?

The rosy hue has all worn off and my glass is Clear- The world-life-is a grim reality. Although I go to my CaSk6'C Zllld take out the priceless treasure of my school days, bringing baCk those Pleas' an-t days of association with my classmates and teachers, th-ose hours spent in the study of English, Cicero, Geometry and Civics, when I 'was being equipped for the after years, those hours of debates, class meetings, work on The Gleamf' gatherings in the library Where we sometimes became tOO noisy and heard Miss XIV:-rllacels Hush, preparations for graduation, and live again those days of rosy hue, I would not have my glass retouched. Life holds so much. As each day brings me in contact with men,-women, and events, 'I can see my path broadening and my way mo-re clearly to follow the Gleam. I ' Last Sunday I was reading one of my favorite passages in Tenn-yson's Idylls of the King, and the beauty and truth in his works appealed to me more than ever before. As one grows in experience, he has a deeper insight and learns toappreciate not only the -pleasures of life, but also its beauties, depth, extensiveness and opportunities. Wlieii I get out of the office where I amemployed I throw back my sho-uld- ers and breath deep draughts of God's pure, fresh air and am glad t-hat I am living. , My dear Seniors of 1910, keep the rosy hue -o-n your glasses as long as you can, hold it always if only in memory, and each .day grow stronger that as your glasses become clear you may be ready and not afraid to follow the Gleam ere it vanishes. VVith the spirit of the Class of 1903, I wish each one of you success -in your paths of life and may the spirit in which you accept your degrees as graduates of the I-Iigh School never fail you as you follow the Gleam. - , 1905. Every school must justify its being by its fruits. The standards of judgment are three, two in prospect and the third and most important in retrospect. The faculty anditheir offering of courses must be good, but most im- portant is the product of character and efficiency in the person of its graduates, V The Class of '05 chose the high motto, Bring nothing base to the temple, and now that we are ourselves in retrospect, we feel proud to claim that We did not and have not, but come this year offering to our alma mater our showing-nothing base, but the just return of her investment i-n us of the best efforts of her admirable teaching force, Does it pay? '05 thinks so. - do Vlfle know our failures and have reserved our best efforts for them, but we pointpto the more than ordinary progress of ou-r classmates as examples of the great advantages we have had from the Independence High School THE GLEAM 117 1907. Dear Gleam Staff of 1910:- It has been three years now since I was working on the Gleam and I under- stand and appreciate the trials you are 'possibly having. Every Gleam Staff has them, I believe, but don't feel discouraged-the Gleam is always suc- cessful, and it would mean mu-ch to you to see it completed, the fruits of much labor. 'fhe Gleam is an expression of yourselves, and therefore of course it will be interesting and individual. It will be liked because it is a part of you. It will be read by many people, by some carelessly, perhaps, because they do not know or love the High School, by others because it is a product of a school, and is interesting as an educational feature, but there are many who will read it lo-vingly because of the -pleasant memories associated with its name-memories of days of staff meetings and their consequent dis- cussions, days of proof reading, days of collecting advertising, and days of watching and waiting for answers from Gleam correspondents. But they are not all gloomy memories, for we had good times at the meetings despite the sometimes overheated arguments, we learned each other and ourselves, and we worked our loyalty into our book. You will be proud of yo-ur boo-k. too. Creditable work is sure to be the outcome of any class who has for its watchword Follow the Gleamf' I speak for all of my class-1907-in wishing for you, 1910, success in all things. Loyally, A Helen Ross, 1907. ..x. . 1909. To the Seniors :- And now the class of 1910 is on the eve-of bidding farewell to the Inde- pendence Hi'gh School. VVhat varied, welcome thoughts come to my mind as I think of the experiences of my school days, the school days of -my class, that long vista overhueng with the clinging vines of sweetest memories. How arduous, how studious was the Class of 1909 as Freshmen-how important and self-esteeining as Sophomores-h-ow thoughtful though hilarious as juniors-and how accomplished as Seniors, Wfhat responsibilities we. felt in that last year-how overwhelming was a defeat, how thrilling a victory! Each successive duty was undertaken with the one ,thought of success, even to the publishers of our Gl'eam,', which of course, we considered t-h-e best, But after commencement what a change! VVe, who had emoyed the hool, are now-at the close of one short year-so widely separated. Each has embarked upon the great vide sea' some to enjoy successes, others, perhaps, failures. But each one of us it iis hoped, together with each member of the Class of 1910, will prove close c-omradeship of four years in the High Sc faithful to our motto- A Member of ,O9' i 118 THE GLEAM ' fx f' 172 fer' by 'E' T syffftigkffj ,EAJX , H fa -Ea fav.: Q i g I H W I -In XX 'in--T f 'fha' ,Sym -qi -4 , J is 75 i J f 1- ,- lf - HE year books edited by different schools, colleges and universities It shovv the character of each institution's school-life, the work being done in the school. In this Way, these educational institutions may measure their intellectual powers with that of other schools. Each successive year tries to bring forth a volume excelling all those 'preceding it, each class wishes to improve upon all others that have been thus far produced. As it should be, each edition strives to attain that which goes to make up the ideal annualg each year's editors fix their desires and aspirations upon a perfect magazine, and then bend all their concentrated energies to reach the goal they have placed before them. Of course, each staff of editors looks with especial pride at the paper they have produced, and feels that theirs has points of excellent belonging t-o none other. As each volume ap-pears yearl Y in the history of the school, each staff feels that it has come a little nearer the end toward which they are ever Working-the perfect magazine. Each board of editors claims the distinction of having introduced new ideas, worked out original plans, and made the book most representative of the class and school that edits it. II This year, We 1910 Seniors of Independence High School, have striven as Seniors before us have st-riven, have reached to- grasp the idea of iyhat Oul- school paper means to us as doubtless all others have reached, hav l e aspiiec to the production of the ideal magazine with ambitions and hopes as great as THE GLEAM 11g those of any others, to lay at the feet of our critical little world what We have tried by honest and earnest endeavor to make the best publication in the history of our school, the tenth volume of the Glean1. Perhaps we may have had especialadvantages in that we happen to be the Class -of '10, For has not this been a particularly progressive year for the High School in general? Has there not been added great stimulus to the ze'st and spirit of our school-life? ls this not a most fitting and appropriate time for cele- brating the tenth anniversary of our schoo-l magazine by making ours the best Gleam ever published. II First of all, the staff has tried to stimulate the interest in the Gleam among the student-body by offering, in addition to the prize for the best short story as suggested last year, a prize for the best report on the Senior Play, and by asking for representative work from each class. VVe want the school to edit the paper, and want each separate 'portion of the magazine to represent what he or she, among the Seniors, has contributed towards making our edition near to the ideal Gleam.', VVe feel that we have neared the perfect year book more than any other staff in that every Senior feels that he has done something towards making the paper a success, and in that each and every one can point out with pride some thing -or things and say- This is what I have done towards publishing the fGleamf , QI Vlfe want it to be about our school, things that relate to our school-days, and our :pleasant association together-things that will mean something to us in after years. Each article, each illustration, the tiniest local, will call to oiir minds pleasant memories of what we did in High School. From title- page to the last hard-earned advertisement, the pages will remind us of how we toiled andlabored over heavy manuscripts, how our sturdy business managers stuck stubbornly to their work and never struck colors until every ad. was filled up and every dollar turned in. 'W'e often sighed over our troubles then, and grew distracted at the heapsiof work piled upon us. But now that it is all over, we wish for these days to be r-eturned, when we never were idle, and almost shouldered in the swallowing, gulf of business and hur- rying work. QI VVe half reluctantly surrender the togas of our happy ex-periences to the Senior Class that shall follow us, we half envy them the pleasantries and joys of editing their paper-but we join with everyone in our best wishes that 5 3 . s-ome Senior Class shall edit the ideal Gleam,' and the fortunate time will be not far off. X 1114- Q' W 120 THE GLEAM - 1 think if there is any one thing to which our rem D 's I H S in ihe past year is owed, it is the Morning Assemblies. They have . . - . d been the one connecting link, the one common inter est of both Facultydap the different classes. Th-e interest of every student has been compelle Jy them new avenues, of learning unlike the ordinary grind of 5011001 Wofk have ,been opened to all of us. ' And last, but most conducive to making schoO1 pleasant and interesting, w-e have looked forward to the programs each day, and each week, we have been anxious to compare the abilities of each class with the -others, we have gratefully perceived and enjoyed the interest out- siders are taking in our school. I think we Seniors may voice the senti- ments of the whole 'school in saying that our little entertainments every morn- ing have been one of the most enjoyable, the most interesting features of our school days of 1909-'10 in 1. H. S. - arkable growth at As the Class of 1901 brought-in nearly all the good things, the Gleam is particular, we concluded that it was they who introduced into the High School that marvelous little beast known as Schoo-l Spirit. The succeeding classes were very good to him and he was a well-fed, sleek little creature, that is, until 1904 came along. They c-onsidered themselves as owls, the most important feature in the school, and entirely neglected what had tlie.nam'e of school connected with it for class, They set this poor example and the following classes fed Class Spirit instead of School Spirit and then Sectional Spirit rather than Class Spirit. All this went on until 1910 came to be Seniors. V r The girls it was wh-o- discovered down in the basement a poor little starved animal and seeing in him the hopes of something larger, asked Mr. Sexton to look after him and feed him. They had heard that Mr. Sextofn if anyone would know how to awaken and strengthen School Spirit. He did, and the Hwee little timorous beastie' grew into a huge animtal. He grew fat on organizations of the Athletic Association, -of the Glee Clubs, of ball teams and all that sort of thing. The thing he likes particularly was the music in the assemblies. 4 Now, all the credit is not due to Mr. Sexton, for as soon as his charge began to be decent-looking, he led him down t-o assembly, by a cliain, gf course. Everyone approved. It aroused the school and each C1355 fried to treat him better than the rest. Even the teachers were proud of him and Mr. Bryant says he is the finest specimen he has ever seen. -And now-well, nowhe is the prevading influence in the school. No chains can hold him, but he behaves nicely, just the same. It was his ex- cellence that caused Mr. Bryant to all-ow us tlhe assemblies all year, that made us in return show the finest record in the school, the least number of failllres and. the best attendance. And the Seniors want to commend him to the juniors after they are gone. He is the best thing in the school. Yes His-11 School Spirit is what has made us this year., 3 at THE GLEAM Qlliv 'mth 2-Xnnrirerrmrg nf this tflwm 219119141 I was seated rn my study ponderrnv over the varred plans devised for formulatrncf The Gleam of 1910 when my mrnd was drawn rnto the future, and I be0'an to dream of the vast possrbrlrtres ahead of the coming staffs of the unlimited Held for development that hes before them Wfhat will have been the vrsron of then frnrshed Work, and what the results of their dreams and ideals?
