PAGE EIGHT STARLIGHT She a touch of the “Blarney Stone cloth carry. Ursula is quick and sad, She’d never think of being bad, She's loved by all the teachers in school And always abides by the Golden Rule. Fred’rick, austere and bold and slow, A minister will make, we know. But him you just had ought to see When things explode in chemistry. Marion C. does love to sing, And often makes the building ring. A lassie, she, both sweet and mild, Yet sometimes acts a little wild. Among us is one who’s very jolly And answers to the name of Dolly, For her—a poet’s fame and curses, Just stop some day and see her verses. And Homer, like the ancient one, All kinds of wickedness doth shun; For he must live up to the name. And gain himself true world-wide fame. Gertrude is very wild and gay, And not long in one place can stay;; But we have heard that she’s a cook. And can make home a cozy nook. Doris is so docile and meek. And doesn’t have a bit of cheek; She is called the teacher’s pet. And gets the high standings, you bet. Clara, as we all know, is slow; No interest in books does she show, So we fear that this stupid lass No exams next June will pass. This completes our little rhyme, And we hope that you in time Will appreciate what we have done To give you all a little fun. Mary P. Hubbard Hazel R. Wilson Mabel Wilson Glenn Bickford Marion Thompson STARLIGHT BOARD. ..........................Editor in Chief .......................Associate Editors Business Managers EDITORIALS. At the beginning of the year Mr. Mcllroy said that perhaps if the little Juniors were good they might organize later. Now we, as Seniors with four years of experience to back us. advise and enjoin the Juniors to organize, as children are not very susceptible to reasoning, therefore, the best way to instigate them to better accomplishments is by having a Junior class toward which they may look forward as a goal to be prized. Now the organization of a Junior class would promote more school spirit which is sadly lacking at W. II. S. Spirit is the best advertisement a school could have. A pupil will pick out a school with “pep” in it every time.

In these few lines 1 here recall The eighteen seniors, fair and talL Whose characters I shall set down Awaiting a smile, expecting a frown. Now don’t 'be thinking that you’re all right For you may find you’re not so bright; So hear with grace and all good will While I attempt your minds to fill. There’s George, our handsome youthful sport, Whose wilful ways will land him in court; His marks are bad, his standings low, Nor seems to care that this is so. And Vesta, dear, our beauty serene, Before a glass all day doth preen, Who’s saucy to teachers and pert to Mack— Of her we never shall keep track. Marion’s plain of face, but coy, And yet she loves a certain boy; Limousines and cars she may have by the hoard But she says that she prefers a Big Ford. “Grapes” was Norman heard to cry When he saw a red-haired girl go by. So girls, bew’are! Of him beware, Ye who are blessed with lovely red hair. For Hazel we have naught to say Except that we expect some day, If all her plans and wishes carry, To see her stand with her dear Harry. Glenn is a man who’s short of tongue And oft seems speechless all and dumb; In his seat in the rear he takes his place, For he hates to be first or ahead in the race. Mary’s a lass both winsome and sly. If you want to know, we’ll tell you why— For when she slights her bashful manner Then her mamma is sure to “Tanner.” There’s one of us, as we all know, Who’s slow and dull, as sayings go; But, Mabel, tho you’re dull of wit Ne’er fear, there’s many a place you’ll fit. Harwell, lad, both wise and bright, Is thought by all the girls just right; You ought to see the problems fly When he just makes a half a try. Now boys give heed to what you hear, For well you know that ’tis Leap Year. Then all beware of merry Mary—

STARLIGHT PAGE NINE PREPAREDNESS. One of the Chicago papers recently took a vote from the parents of that city and found that eighty per cent of those expressing their opinion, favored military drill for their children in the high schools. This is a very clear argument for this sort of preparedness if it is true that all the parents throughout the United States feel this way. That of course we cannot know. There is no doubt, however, that earnest thought should be given this question. The largest cities in the country and all the Atlantic coast states seem to be more interested in the question of drill for the coming generation than is the rest of the country. Wilson should at least know the progress being made elsewhere. Military drill is being discussed for numerous preparatory schools, and it has lately become very important in many colleges such as Princeton, Yale and Harvard. Nothing elaborate would be possible here, but perhaps some simple training may sometime become necessary. “THE YEAR.” Sept. 14—Wilson High School reopens to welcome the class of 16.
