PAGE FOURTEEN STARLIGHT by all except Marioi (Varner, who said she couldn't sing after eating so much. Then Marjorie said that Lee Brown must take her home at once because she must practice her music, for she expects to become a great “Singer soon. Clara Stoddard also thought she must go home,, too, before it was so late, because it was so hard to keep Harry awake. Angeline then proposed that we all gather around the fire and tell stories. But that was ruled out when Ida Belle McCrakan said she would whistle if Eloise would play on her violin for her. Mabel Salisbury said that she must be getting her things together for b ranees and Iloilace would be after her soon. All was quiet, when suddenly Martin saw a rat and gave a scream which frightened some of the girls when they learned the cause. Mildred Ward said that we had better all start for home as their Overland was rather balky that morning, and besides she had no hat. We all started when Mrs. Martin said we had better go. Laura Murdock insisted on sitting beside the boys, but Miss Smith watched her rather closely and told her that it was not at all proper. This made Doris Weaver and Marie Maloy angry, because they never saw anything improper in sitting beside a boy. Mary Louise entertained the crowd by reciting original poetry to which Gladys Swick composed music. Ethel Middleton said that this was such a beautiful evening, at which Mary Breeze and Lola Barry exchanged glances. hen we arrived at Miller Brown s store we all jumped out and said that we had had a most enjoyable day. For the next week to come the teachers were kept busy taking down names of those who persisted in talking over the events of that never-to-be-forgotten day. E. S., 16. “A TRIBUTE TO WILSON HIGH SCHOOL.” It’s only a red brick building Surrounded by smooth lawns of green; But the shade trees are proud to be monarchs. Over this beautiful scene. A number of very large windows Admit the sunlight glow, And flowers of all kinds and colors Are permitted herein to grow. At the rear of this grand old buildng, A lawn with quite room for all, Is used on long summer evenings, As a place for the boys to play ball. The front lawn, as smooth as a carpet, Is starred on each side of the walk By a flower bed o’erlooked iby the maples, ’Round which the girls sit and talk. It’s rooms are well lighted and airy, And only the hallways are dim; But so much the better for visiting. There is enough going on, too, within.

STARLIGHT PAGE THIRTEEN “Moore.” Kenneth ate heartily of the squash, because he was especially fond of “Hubbards.” We noticed that the great dish of grapes that we had gathered on the way was rapidly disappearing and saw that the cause of the havoc came from Norman’s end of the table. Laura Sayer talked continually about the “Sage,” and Homer complained because he didn't think the Campbell’s soup was “Sweet” enough. Vesta did not eat much and we guessed that she was worrying about the little doll with the red hair, that she had left home. We had nearly finished eating, when there was a great noise heard. Nothing could be seen in any direction and we were all afraid of one of those terrible storms which come up so suddenly. But the cause was soon discovered when we saw Mabel Jeffery descending the hill with her Ford. While all the boys were washing the dishes, superintended by Mr. Mellroy, all the girls, under Mrs. Blake’s care, were gathering wood to get dinner. When the work was finished everyone, of course, was anxious to see the country, so we set out in groups in all directions. The country was certainly beautiful and the weather ideal. A small river was near at hand, so some of us went in bathing, while others fished. The forenoon passed and dinner was cooked and served in much the same manner as our morning meal had been. There was one thing which puzzled us all for a time, and that was why Adabelle Schultz kept so quiet. We afterwards heard that it was due to the presence of Mr. Mellroy, as she was afraid that her deportment would be marked down. As the sun was nearly over us, it gradually became warmer, so we decided to rest under the shade trees before making any more sallies from camp. Glenn amused himself playing with a jumping-jack and a toy telephone, the toys that he generally plays with after meals. George Norton cast sly glances all around through the crowd but could not find Hazel, so he came to the conclusion that she must be off hunting for her title. Marion Thompson was very interested in a book, but upon drawing nearer we saw that she was staring at some pictures concealed within its pages. The pictures quickly vanished when a “Wolfe” jumped from behind the tree under which she was sitting. Grace and Angeline were quite startled by the little mouse which Homer had brought along for their amusement. Elva Capen complained of a toothache but I think it was due to the absence of the dentist’s son, just then. Roy De Neau was the first to become restless, and said that he wished he had stayed at home and signed his excuse slips. As soon as it began to grow cooler, the groups again departed to explore the country, but as before they all came back in time for supper. Lelah Martin and Harry Nesbit prepared the supper, with Martin Schultz for boss. Their supper was partaken of heartily

STARLIGHT PAGE FIFTEEN Four years have passed, and we Seniors Are about to start out afresh; Rut whatever our success hereafter. We will owe it to W. H. S. E. S., ’16. THE SENIORS' AUTOMOBILE TRIP. Last fall soon after we had organized we decided that we would like to go for an automobile trip. The plans were then made, which were, that we would go Friday, October 7th, that we should go in Mr. Kick’s and Miss Thompson’s cars and last, that we all should meet at Miss Thompson’s. At nine o’clock, having met at Miss Thompson’s and arranged ourselves in the cars, we started for Ransomville, but we were sent back to get Marion's camera. In turning around, our car slid into the ditch and after much pushing, Mr. Pasko finally pushed us out. Securing the camera, we joined Marion in Ransomville. From there we went to Youngstown, where Marion discovered that she had lost the cap from the gasoline tank. They went to Youngstown to get a cap but were able to get only a cork. After visiting the fort, when George Norton and Norman Kick got lost in a passageway, we went to Niagara Falls in quest of a cover for the oil tank. Hut Marion was again disappointed, for no cap was to be had. We ate our dinner on Goat Island and, in spite of the rain, it was very much enjoyed by all. Our dinner eaten, we started out of Goat Island in the same direction in which we came. Near the entrance we were stopped by a policeman who told us we should have gone the other way, but he would let us go on, if we would be careful. But those in the other car, when they saw that we had been stopped, began rapidly to back up, before he could have a chance to say anything to them. They barely escaped backing into trees before they got away from him. We we joined by them at the park entrance. At Mr. Pasko’s suggestion, we visited the Hydraulic Power plant. We found it very interesting and enjoyed the beautiful river scenery very much. e then started for Buffalo, although it was raining quite hard. Reaching Buffalo, we went to a cemetery to see a beautiful monument which Ilazel told us about. Then we went to the garage, where we were told that we could get the cap the next Tuesday. Now. to get out of the rain, Ave went to Shea’s and saw “The Dust of Egypt.’’ When we came out of there it Avas quite dark, so Ave decided to go home, but those in the other car decided to stay a little longer and have supper first. When Ave had left Buffalo, Ave stopped beside the road and ate our lunch. When A ’e neared home Ave sbav, that it had not rained here at all. We let Mr. Pasko out at his home and then took George to a Aveiner roast to Avhicli he Avas invited, but found only the coals; then the rest of us Avent home. The next morning Ave heard that the other load Avent back to the Falls with the excuse that they knew the roads that Avay and
