UPERIN'1'END13NT GEORGE was a man of varied interests and activities. He was a man among men, citizen among citizens, a public officer 'for some time of the city. We cannot speak of him in all of these relations in a brief paper. It is not our purpose to give a biography of his life. A public school paper naturally takes notice of him as a public school man and speaks chiefiy of his work in the Ypsilanti public schools. He was a Michigan man, receiving his early education in the public schools of the state. He had an opportunity to know the schools through and through during his life. He was educated for the work of a teacher in the Normal School under the superintendency of Professor A. S. VVelch, and he gradu- ated from the school in the spring of 1863 and did his first teaching after graduation in the high school of Kalamazoo. Thetthen superintendent of the Kalamazoo schools writes thus of him: In the spring of 1863 there came to my home in Kala- mazoo to assume a responsible position in the schools of which I had charge, a young man fresh from the Normal School of Ypsilanti. I had no personal acquaintance with him, nor with his fitness for the work he was to do. He came upon the recom- mendation of Professor XVelch, then principalof the school, whose judgment had been trusted to select such a teacher as was needed. The young man of two and twenty was Austin George. The judgment of Professor NVelch was justified. The abounding physical vitality, the vivacity of speech. the quickness to perceive the needful and appropriate, the desire and readiness to help whenever and wherever help was needed, the capacity for work-all of these qualities combined to bring about a strong mutual regard. ripening in due time into lasting friendship. After teaching for a time in the Kalamazoo schools, Mr. George pursued higher studies in the University of Michigan and at Kalamazoo College, from which institution he gradu- ated. Subsequently he engaged in various kinds of business, of which it is not necessary to speak in this article. He became superintendent of the public schools of Kalamazoo in T873 and managed them with marked success for six years. During his superintendency, these schools increased in value and reputa- tion. He established a training school for teachers and a de- partmental school, one of the first in the state. He came into the Normal School as professor of rhetoric in 1879. In 1882 he became director of the training school. His work in this department of the school was characterized by his untiring energy and good judgment. He prepared a broad plan of or- ganization, which included in its scope a kindergarten, a well equipped primary and grammar school of eight grades, with critic teachers for each grade. The work of teaching was thoroughly systeinatized and the value of the school was very greatly increased. Besides attending to the work of his own department, Professor George was always active in furthering any enter- prise looking to the good of the school as a whole. He pro- posed and started the Norma! News, becoming financially re- sponsible for its support. He was influential with the legisla- ture in securing an appropriation for the erection of the gym- nasium. He secured by his own personal efforts the sum necessary to purchase the grounds upon which the gymnasium stands and at the dedication of the building delivered the ad- dress in behalf of the faculty. He took charge of the city schools as superintendent in 1896. He came into the superintendencv at a critical time and under some unusual conditions, but he was peculiarly fitted for this work by natural traits of character and bv long ex- perience in various positions in educational fields. His influ- ence upon the schools was in every way of the most happy character. The spirit of kindliness and helpfulness always manifested by him in his official and personal relations, both to instructors and patrons, kindled the same spirit in them. He knew how to give suggestions and advice and council with- out seeming to dictate or even to advise. I am sure the young ladies and gentlemen of the high school will remember and recall hereafter with gratitude the brief lessons bearing upon practical every-day life and conduct given in connection with the chapel exercises-lessons intended to impress upon young minds high ideals of manhood and womanhood--lessons of integrity, honesty, truthfulness, kindness and courtesy. It was his purpose from his lirst connection with the schools to restore the Ypsilanti High. School to its place of esteem, honor, and pride in the'minds of the citizens of the town. In the early history of the school, while under the charge of Professor Estabrook, the school had'been an object of great pride on the part of the people. Gradually it had lost this high place. Systematically, Professor George set about creating the old feeling in the minds of the people toward the school. It is not necessary to say here how fully and thor- oughly he accomplished his purpose. The second o-biect he had in view was to create in the alumni of the school a feeling of pride in the school and re- gard for it and a desire to labor for its advancement and pros- perity. He created the organization of the alumni association. Into this association a very large part of the alumni now living were gathered and the animal meetings of this association con- tributed very much to increase the esteem in which the school was held. The third purpose which he had in view was to create an C'.S'f7l'I-f do mrfvx in the teachers of the school and to lead them to think that they were a body of co-laborers in a great work and in an honorable sphere of action. I-low well he succeeded, the teachers can testify. Connected with this, he also aimed to create in the minds of the pupils of the school a becoming p1'ide in the institution itself-a spirit of loyalty to it and an enthusiasm in its support. How well he succeeded in this, the pupils of the school can testify. It will be no more than the truth to assert that the schools, their teachers and pupils have 1'CCOV6l'CCl to a very large degree the high position which they had during the administration of Professor Estabrook: and the administration of Professor George will go down in history side by side with that of the first great superintendent of the schools. Professor George will be remembered in Ypsilanti as a public spirited citizen, one ready to do his full share of public work without regard to compensation. as a warm personal friend to a great number of people in the town: but he will be remembered especially by those who during the years of his superintendencv went out from the schools bearing the impress of his high and manly character. The Library as a Monument to Prof. George. . MILDRED S. SMITH. MONUMENT,--tl12lt is just the word--a good, substan- tial, lasting remembrance to one whom we all love and respect. The work of Mr. George is done, and now only the fruit of his labor and the influence of his life remain. Our High School Library is the fruit of some of his labor, and its in- Huence will extend beyond us into the coming generations. Mr. George's work from day to day and week to week will in time pass away, but the Library will remain--a memorial which time cannot efface. In the equipment of a school a Library is of indispensable value, and when Mr. George took up his work of superintend- ent in 1896 he fully understood this and sought to bring the small collection of books then on hand into systematic order and immediate use. This collection consisted of some 2000 volumes, and he at once took up the work of swelling the number in numerical, educational and historical value. As in all things, he first established a precedent by putting on the shelves many of his own books, before seeking to obtain them through other sources. ' Before Mr. George became superintendent, the School Board made a small yearly appropriation for the Library and then used the money for other purposes. Prof. George saw that the money was used for the object for which it was given, and also expressed a wish that there might be enough appropriated with which to secure the services of some one who was able to give his or her entire attention to library work. In the fall of 1899 his wish was realized, and the office of Librarian established. From an appropriation, the position of Librarian became a salaried one, the same as the High School teachers. Thus are things gradually builded. The Library was one of Prof. George's pet ideas, if I may use the expression, and he was constantly forming plans by which it might rapidly develop, yet ever looking toward the future in choice of material. In january, 1901, he proposed and carried out a plan by which many valuable books were added, and that was the establishment of an Alumni rDepartment, for which every alumnus of the I-Iigh School was asked to contribute one or more books. It is hoped that each new graduating class will, by their Commencement day, have donated at least one book for each member of the class, that they may be represented on the Library shelves. When Mr. George went out of town on business or pleasure he had an eye open for bargains in books, and would come back to school bringing the knowledge of the where- abouts of some historically valuable volumes, which we might add to the Library as soon as we were able. Our Library now numbers over 6ooo volumes, with read- ing room accommodating thirty-five, card catalogue, current magazines and periodicals, and is considered one of the first high school libraries in the state. This success is due largely to Mr. George's untiring efforts. On pages 12 and I3 are shown the covers in fac Si1lI1-Ilia' of the first student publication of the old Ypsilanti Seminary and the- present publication, THE I'IIGI'I SCHOOL CHAT. The Junior Budget of the Ypsilanti Seminary was written out. and perhaps there was but a single copy of each issue. which was placed where it could be read by the pupils at their leisure. The first page inside the cover contains an editorial which states briefly the purpose of our little sheet. Then follow articles, Places that I Wfould Like to Visit, bv Amelia: Leaf from the Life of a Raindropf' by -Mary Louiseg Kindness, by Emily: An Unlucky Day, by Maria. There are still other articles. and one very interesting one describes Our School-- room. Editorial. NVE. Y ISSUING this Ypsi-Dixit we are continuing a custom which was started in this high school six years ago. It has been our object to make it represent the school in all phases as nearly as possible. and on account of the continual successes of our students in different fields we are able to pre- sent a book which gives records of good scholarship and vic- tories in athletics. XVe also would like to have this volume show that our school is being rapidly brought to the very front rank among the high schools of the country and if you take the trouble to compare the records of this school with that of others it will be found that the Ypsilanti High School holds no unimportant rank among the best high schools. It is, no doubt, unnecessary to sing the praises of our high school to the Alumni and students because they already realize with pride that there is no other high school like the Ypsilanti High School. In conclusion, we will say nothing of the failings of this volume. because if we do not mention them you may, per- chance, overlook some of them. However. we are sincerely grateful to the students who all generously strove to help make this Ypsi-Dixit a success. Management. GEORGE BURKE, EDXVARD PIERCE, EDITOR.

And as we came, poor Freshies, green, Timid and strange, as yet, Our teachers all befriended us In a way we'll ne'er forget. Day after day, we drudged away, But some of us have gone To fairer flocks in fairer fields To join some other throng. But we who in our class remain Are great, tho' small in number, And many a stately Prof. has stopped And gazed at us in wonder. And on the night of Junior Ex. The Superintendent wore Our own class colors, red and white, Which Juniors all deplore. And still a clever Junior boy, To gain superior powers, Did masquerade as a Senior grand By carrying our class fiowers. NVithin our class there are a few Whom it is well to note. They give great credit to our school, As their works e'er denote. Of great debaters, there are two: Also a farmer, bold, An orator do we possess, Within our gifted fold W'e have two actresses 'mong us: A lflardscratch twin so gay. And she who acted Ashrael Grant, The time of the Beta Nu play. Gne frat is represented here: The sororities also are feltg Pi Kappa and the Beta Nu. Also the Sigma Delt. But we must leave this clear old school NVith many a doubt and fear Of what there is in store for us. In our new work so near. And now we must commence anew Upon a broader sphere. Before-we were but children. frail: Now-we as men appear. ,ff E-0 1 . X QQ c History of Class '03. CELEs'rIA EDDY. I-us YEAR of 1903 sees our class as Seniors and we are called upon to give an account of ourselves from our entrance into the High School up to the present time. It would probably he much better for the preservation of our present dignity if nothing be said of our Freshman year. except that we were here on the earth. The second year saw us a little older, our greenness a little faded and our dignity much increased. Many interesting events occurred in the course of that year, among them the organization of the Estabrook Fraternity. And then came our Alunior year! The year of successes and failures and the .lunior Exhibition. XVhat words can ex- press our enjoyment of that soul-inspiring music, which our friends, the Seniors. so generously provided on that fatal night? But now! Studious. careworn, brows deeply furrowed, We sit before ,you all. Stop and rcverently observe ns. For XV6,1'G the Seniors tall. This year's happy life was so rudely interrupted by the very sudden death of our beloved superintendent and in- structor, Mr. George. The immediate sad days that followed will not soon be forgotten by any of us. But, of course, our work had to continue and by the united endeavor of both teachers and pupils this work has been carried to a successful close. NVe have in our midst several who deserve honorable mention. Our able orator, Mr. Horen, who so distinguished himself in the Oratorical Contest at Clevelandg our debaters, Mr. Burke and Mr. Gass, who need no introductiong our artists, Miss Hubbell and Miss NVortley, and our musicians, who are so modest they must not be named. Surely these are a goodly company! VVe claim the presidents both of the Beta Nu and the Sigma Delta, and the greater part of our class is enrolled among' their members. In athletic, literary, and social efforts we are not lacking. Glad though we may be to start out into the world and to take up our life work, we all have a feeling' of regret at leaving the school, and we hope to make such men and women of our- selves as shall be a credit to our Alma Mater. MA 0.38: J 'Q- o o 7 'ly X Q Q.e-'I Class Prophecy. MARY HARMON. NE BR1GH'r sunny afternoon in early june as I was lying in my hammock trying to study, a drowsiness came over me and gradually the faint visions Hittering before my eyes grew more and more distinct, until I saw the familiar form of our president, George Burke. I saw him as the famous lawyer, who had made for him- self a reputation stretching even to Geddes on account of his wonderful ability to prevaricate and his exceptional power to wheedle a jury to his point of view. And next, Frank Evans stood forth as a prominent inven- tor, who was noted for inventing the famous rising-bed, with the patent spring that bounced a fellow out of bed in time to get ready for school, having been himself so punctual, he was especially anxious to develope this trait in future generations. And then I perceived two prominent educators, Clara Sweet and Grace Corrazzi, Clara having taught geography to the children of the Philippines, met there an ideal young multi-millionaire, whom she had married and was now living very happy. Wliile Grace Corrazzi having taught a kinder- garten in Cuba, at last had married, like her friend, Miss Sweet, and had become the exalted Princess Lilyfoidwa. I saw that we were not without representatives in the dramatic field, for I-Iebert Bray had become an accomplished actor and was giving performances in all the leading theatres of Skikokn and Changehan. I-Ie was well suppo1'ted in his profession, as he had such Well known stars as Myrtie Mull- holland, Florence Crittenden, Ida Combs, and Alice Miller. Charles Thomas had made a great success as a minister, and had been sent to China as a missionary. Grace Crippen, who always seemed to have a liking for helping Charles, was still helping him in the far-away land. Leslie I-Ioren had attained distinction as an orator and politician. I saw him on a stump making speeches. which were flashed all over the world by wireless telegraphy. Grace McCormack and Susie Dean had proven very suc- cessful poets, and in all the libraries of Rawsonville and Inkster, I saw high on the shelves volumes upon volumes of their poetry. Clyde Gass, the world famed engineer, was making sus- pension bridges across the Rubicon. and had at last entered into niatrirnony with Bliss. Ellen Wfortlev, the greatest modern artist, was working in her studio in Palembaug, together with her husband, the Signor Mantagnaniac. Then I heard the distinct sound of sweet melody, and as it came nearer and nearer I saw the accomplished musician, Louise Allen, accompanying the great violinist Issai. Now, then, unfurled itself before my gaze an enormous bright colored bill-poster, with a large bottle on which was a picture of the well-known pharmacist. Harry Nan Kervis, whose patent medicines are a sure cure for all diseases of thc heart. Then, I thought myself on a train going westward. On and on I went until I reached Cheyenne, XVyomingg then to the capitol, and there, who should I find seated in the gov- ernor's chair. wielding the scepter of power, but Inez De Pew. Now there arose before me a forty-story sky-scraper, the entire building occupied by the firm of HCI7'l'l-S07l., Kersey and Co., Flying Machine M0i1Z1tfUL'f'Il1't'l'.Y. Their success cannot be surprising to those of us who recall their soaring ambitions of former days. In great contrast to the towering sky-scraper and bust-- ling noise of manufacturing now appeared on the lake shore a dainty white cottage with extensive lawns and flower beds, and as I feasted my eyes on the pretty picture I saw a woman coming out of the door and recognized 1ny old classmate, Theo VVilson. Suddenly the vision changed and Arthur Brems ap- peared. I-Ie was now running a wandering side show. I-Ie. with his extensive brilliant troop, was turning the world. Those who were accompanying him were: Miss Elizabeth Statira Hubbell, the lightning artistg Miss Katie Cahalan, the second Patti, and Miss Clara Kuster, who stood on the out- side of the tent demonstrating for cereals. The success of the affair cannot be imagined unless one has had the pleasure of seeing it. The troop. not entering small cities, had never been able to visit Ypsilanti. This scene was passing, when another one came in view. Stella Shaefer, in cap and gown, was seated in her private office, at the University of Xyz, where many students flocked to consult their able dean. Before me now passed a dazzling vision, so brilliant and gay, me thought it a very fairy from fairyland. And as I gazed, I knew that there stood before me Lucile I-Ioyt. New York's most brilliant society leader, and the belle of two continents. Then my ear was attracted by a whizzing sound, and as I looked an automobile came spinning down the road, and as it approached I perceived the well-known XV all Street broker, Mr. Grover Thomas, showing the sights to his dear friend, Emperor William. Now, there appeared before me a woman clad in the garb of a nurse, watching patiently over the bed of a sick child, and over her hovered angels singing anthems and bearing garlands of roses for the gentle nurse, Celestia Eddy. A photograph gallery appeared and the well-'known names of NVaterman-Tuttle stood out prominently. Then Itfound myself on board a large ocean steamer, and as I looked about me on deck I saw the two familiar forms of Gretta Abel and Mr. Robison. As Gretta came towards me I saw that her hat and hair were still strewn with rice. As these dream pictures llitted before my eager gaze, me thought I saw Louis Caplin, but here a misty veil shut out the vision of his future. so I must bid him go to his Sybil for the completion. Then the picture grew more and more faint. and sud- denly I heard mv name called, and some one asked me if I had my lessons for to-morrow-but alas! I had dreamed away the live-long' afternoon, and this is the result. However true these pictures, there is not one of us, I am sure, who will not in the future look hack with pleasure and gratitude to the happy hours spent in the old Ypsilanti High School. 3 333 3333333 Ti- 5 3??F'6 6?3 T Junior Class. MYIITLE E. STRANG. Alas! the slippery nature of fender youfb. OTI-IING could be more .pleasing than to recall to mem- ory the noble deeds and brilliant work of the class of '04, Three years have passed since we entered the Ypsilanti High School, years not spent in idleness, but in being true to our motto, Numquam RClII'O1'SL1l11,,, Never Backward. It is unnecessary even to name the successes we as a class have gained. Not one of them has been or will be for- gotten. A mere mention of the Juniors brings to the mind the colors which Hoated so long overhead and those which were placed underfoot. We have even taken up the role of teachers, for the Freshmen prefer to come to the juniors, if they wish to be taught how things should be carried on, espe- cially a class meeting. The class of '04 has fully carried out the often-quoted Biblical saying, By their fruits ye shall know them. For in passing through the High School the Junior is easily dis- tinguished by the marks of nobleness and courage on his studious brow. Having gained so much in the three years that have passed, the Junior class and its work will be an inspiration to the classes that will some day take its place. VV e, the Juniors, look forward to the greater things of the coming year which brings us to the end of a life that has been so far pleasing and successful. Class Officers. President ..... . . .

HE Sophomore Class of IQO3, unlike its predecessors, is undoubtedly the mostbrilliant and prepossessing of any class that has ever filled this position in the Ypsilanti High School. In numbers we do not compare so favorably, but quality is more desired than quantity, and in this we feel we have been excelled by none. VV' e have advanced a great deal since our Freshman year, when we started out as a class Filled with pluck and courage. Our colors, green and white. while some might think them, especially the former. symbolic of our mental attitude. they are not so in the least. but rather of the veracity and en- thusiasm that is destined to astonish the world. Our success in regard to school work, as well as oratory, athletics, and the like, has been very great, until we are now looked upon as being the all-important faction in the school. Especially in athletics has our success been shown, and we now have quite a number in the class who are very prominent in this line. ' VV' e feel that our success in part is due to the zealous atti- tude vvhich our well selected cabinet of officers have had toward the interests of the class. as well as the earnest spirit of its members. Our future. we hope. will be characterized by even greater achievements than the past has been. And before many years to come, our superiority will be proclaimed to the world by the works of our great statesmeu, inventors. and particularly orators. whose fame will be spread world-wide.

UR FIRST year in the Ypsilanti High School is drawing to its close. We look back upon it with satisfied hearts for since September 2. 1902, we have shared each other's joys and are better for so doing: . XV e anticipate with pleasure the time when we may look down upon a Freshman and say with much condescension, Chl Xilhat IS it? Yesg second room to the right. XV e may now wave the red and green with as much vigor and patriotism as the Juniors and Seniors, and perhaps with as much as the sedate Sophomores. Our officers fulfilled their positions very faithfully and with much success. and our meetings were more interesting than thebluniors, as we have every reason to know. Our colors are Old Rose and XVhite, and we are very proud of them. Green was proposed but we decided that would be an encroachment upon the possessions of the Sophomors. ln the future as in the past we expect that the school will be proud of the class of ,o6, as we are a class of many arts, tastes, and accomplishments. In the meantime look not upon us with scornful eyes or we may sing- ri Lord. God of Hosts Be with ye yet. Lest ye forget, Q Lest ye forget, That ye were once all Freshmen. President .....

How much the name sug- gests, or rather how lit- tle. Percy is invaria- bly connected with Al- gey, but the Percy I am about to introduce was a separate individ- ual and does not de- pend upon Algy for his existence. NVell, at any rate, Percy was a high school graduate, and like a good many more of them thought he knew it all, but as a matter of fact he didn't know any more than the usual run of them. which certainly would not be a burden. After Percy's grad- uation his father thought that it was about time that he should End something for Percy to start out in life upon. He finally decided upon a law course at the Uni- versity of X, as the course does not require as much knowledge and practical work as others. Meanwhile he found Percy em- ployment for the vacation as a reporter for the local paper, thinking that this would be a good place to become familiar with humanity. Percy was delighted. He immediately purchased a large writing pad and swiped one of his father's pencils. That same afternoon he reported at the office and was detailed to ascer- tain the particulars of a burglary in one of the lower sections of the city. He hastened thither and after many inquiries of small boys he managed to find out that the theft had been com- mitted and that the burglar was supposed to be in hiding in the neighborhood. Percy w1'ote up the facts and several things which were not facts but which sounded just as well, if not better than the facts did. XV hen he had gotten about a block away from the scene of the burglary, a man dashed out of a house, followed by a woman who carried some kind of a weapon. Percy's mind worked rapidly. Here, he said, is the burg'lar. And for- getting' that he was only a reporter and not an officer of the law he set out in pusnit. After a chase of about three blocks he collared the man, a frail looking' little fellow who could not make much resistance. Strange to say, he did not seem to be as much frightened at Percy as he did at the woman, who was now rapidly approaching. XV hen she came up Percy made a low, heroic bow and was about to say that he had captured the prisoner when she made a swing with her right and caught him on the burr of the ,, r I - ' .f eat.

But when she saw a stranger step in to inter- fere it was a different thing' and upon him she poured the vials of her wrath and the force of her knuckles. Poor Percy, he did not care to hold his job as reporter any longer and when the boss got a look at him as he turned up at the office it would not have mattered whether he cared to hold it or not.

J. c., '03, OW swiftly glide the fleeting hours From early morn to close of day. When wisdom's handmaid strews fair flowers Along thc student's toilsome way! With flaming torch she guides his steps From out the gloom of error's way. And saves him from those stagnant depths, Where all is ruin and decay. Whilst toiling up the steep ascent, Where knowledge has her hlest abode, Her powerful hand is kindly lent To smooth the roughness of the road. She leads him through the world of thought, And shows him all the treasures there: More precious, worthier to be sought Than gold or gems or jewels rare. She leads him to the spring of truth, Which Hows from the eternal source, And from this fountain even youth May wisdom draw for life's hard course. 1 An Exceptional Prod. LA VERN ROSS. Oh, girls. be sure and come to-night-to the spread, you know-i11 my room at half-past ten. I'm cutting class now on purpose to get ready. Oh, he1'e comes the Prof. Well, see you to-night. - This hurried invitation was given to two girls, standing in 0116 of the college corridors, waiting for the last bell to call them to their classes. The speaker was a brilliant. jolly girl--always ready for any kind of a lark, and, consequently the most popular girl in her class. For the present. she had in view nothing less than the strictly-forbid- den midnight spread, but the young sinner was startled by the appearance of the Professor, whose class she was just about to skip, and, so hurried off to avoid an unpleasant meeting. The two, left alone. immediately fell to discussing their classmate. Dear me, Clara. if you could only make Margarite study. Everybody wants her on the team and she's such a dandy player, and you know how 'crazy' she is to be on, but she never studies, and, of course, her chances are 'so 'slim' against that 'prod. ' NVell, Belle Mason 'll get it anyway. She is nearly as good a player as Margarite, and the girls say she studies till 'way after 'lights out' every night. Margarite must do a little work herself. We can't learn things lor her. She Hunked on a history test yesterday, and tl1e 'Proff was aw- fuly mad, and she got a 'con' on her 'mathf to-day. and here she's skipping lecture now to prepare for that spread to-night. Well, there goes the bell and here comes Belle Mason, pouring over Horace, as usualf' The two separated and went to their different classes. while the afore- mentioned Belle Mason still walked slowly up the corridor. She was a plain. unassuming girl, but studions, and eager to get out of this one taste of college life all that she could. She worked unusually hard, and, consequently. stood higher in her studies than most of her fellows. She took no part in the pranks and larks of the other girls, being generally looked upon as a goody-goody and a prod. 4 l-Ter one weakness was basket-ball, and she worker. here as everywhere else with a grim deter- mination to gain her end. This end in basket-ball was to get a place on the regular team against the very popular Margarite Grenley. Every- one saw that the unpopular prod would certainly get the place, for one of the riding rules of the team was a good standing in class-work. This one thing, it was evident. would exclude Margarite Grenley, for her work was very far behind. The morning after her spread, Margarite Grenley found herself seated next to the Hprodn in the Math, class. Turning quickly to her, with one of her bright smiles, she whispered: Do you know, I can't understand one of these problems. Isn't it awful of me? There was something so childish and appealing about her that the prod looked pityingly at her, and then generously offered to help. 'fCome to my room at three this afternoon. I can explain the method to you. That was only the beginning of the help that Margarite got from Belle Mason in her studies. Little by little Margarite began to realize that the unpopular prod had hopes and aspirations like her own, as well as sorrows and tribulations. Her greatest grief was her unpoularity. That was the source of her longing to make the team, for all the girls on the team became popular in college. Now, Margarite wanted to make the team because the girls always have such jolly good times and because her chum was already sure of a place. To Belle it was the one dearest wish of her heartg to Margarite, it was one of many wishes. Meanwhile, Margarite's popularity increased day by day. and Belle remained the same unpopular prod The day of the election was at hand, and the girls all met in the gym. to vote on names for the team. Names were voted on one by one, until the list was complete. By preconceived plan all the sure names were first voted on, until there remained only one place. and for that Margarite Grenley and Belle Mason were the strongest candidates. On the first ballot, neither girl got a majority, and the girls right and left began to say all sorts of horrid things about selfish prods and people who wanted everything for themselves. and Margarite had been so good to that 'prod, ' asking her to spreads, and taking her driving, and inviting her to the play at her house. She ought to be ashamed of herself to stand against Margaritef' On the next ballot Belle Mason got the necessary majority, as many had refused to vote for a poor student like Margarite, when there was another. The hall was hushed when Belle Mason arose from her seat. and, addressing the chair, said: I withdraw in favor of Miss Grenley. When the girls had grasped the meaning of it all. they burst into the noisiest applause for Belle Mason. Margarite and her chum hoisted Belle to their shoulders and carried her in triumphal procession around the campus. Belle offered no explanation of her action, which stood unique in college history. They are now the stanchest friends, but, then, Belle was an excep- tional prod, A Soliloquy. O hush! the girls will hear you, Can't you shut that door some tighter? And Zeke, give us a match, Can't see unless it's lighter. Good gracious! that went out- Got another? No? By thunder, What was that? The radiator? Ilm an awful one to blunder. How this floor is creaking! Get it oiled next time, you sinner. 'Fore you rope me into helping At the cooning of a dinner. Which room? The Botany Department? That's easy-through the transom- Boost me. Tutt. you're strong and sturdy If you're not considered handsome. Ah me? I cannot budge it. The door. then-pick the lock- You dare not? Of conscience You must have an overstock. Give me time-now I have it! Happy thought! the windows, boys, Out the west and in the north one, And with scarce a bit of noise. That ledge will be a foothold. Grab my coat-if I should fall, Our spread would grow in numbers And would bc instead, a bawl. I-la! the window opens- Smell it? Fudge! Here, quick, Take a plateful-and another. Here's enough to make us sick. Want the onions? No, I guess not 'Cause thcy'd trace us by our breath. Sandwiches? Their toughness Would drive us on to death. Here, give a hand Rube. lazy fellow, You would rather eat the fudge Than help the man who got it for you Out from where he eouldn't budge. Whist! I-lark! by the powers of Moses! Here they come-hide every plate, Get your smiles out to the surface And we'll manage any fate. Ah! Um-Howdy, ladies, Pleasant evening, is it not? What? VVe've been up to mischief? Suspected. are we. of some plot? Never! We are ideal members Of the Sigma Delta's corps. Dont' believe it? Oh, how cruel! My, boys. look! but aren't they sore? -Author Unknown The Use of Storms. REA PEW. ANY of the best things in the world are invisible. The good that comes wrapped in darkness is of the greatest value. The joy and peace of heaven cannot be seen, but yet it is the reward for which all are working. God himself cannot be looked upon. Storms and destruction sent upon mankind often prove a stepping' stone to a higher and better state. But their good is shrouded in clouds. They inspire with awe and reverence. The mind dwells upon their power and their creator. - The blinding' snow storms of the Alps have caused the death of many a traveler. But every year many visit them because of their magnificence and majesty. XVould not half their grandeur be taken awav if the snow should cease to fall and they were no longer clad in white? But why go to foreign lands to find the sublime in nature? VVe have heavy snow storms at home. Do not the Americans owe to these storms much of their inspiration and strength? The snow, emblem of purity, composed 'of millions of glit- tering crystals, showing the wondrous workmanship of God. clothes all the earth in white. makes the barren fields and leaf- less trees beautiful, brings before us the beauties of nature in winter, and helps to make some of the grandest scenery in the world. Then the melting' of these same snows fills the lakes and rivers, causing them to overHow. Sections of the country are swept by a storm of destruction. But it is all for g'ood. The violent rain storms in summer clear up the atmos- phere and make nature fresh and beautiful. lfVho does not en- joy going out into the clear, cool air after the earth's face has been washed? It is an irrevocable law that nothing is ever entirely lost, so from the ruin and destruction caused by hur- ricanes, cyclones, and tornadoes, are found place and material for newer and better things. These storms of nature are but a material representation of what occurs in the invisible world of man's mind, All have these storms in their livesg storms of sorrow and joy that cleanse and purify the mind. Whenever a soul passes through a great storm of moral doubts and comes forth victorious, the character has been strengthened. Was not Martin Luther a stronger and nobler man for struggling with and triumphing over the great storm of religious opposition which beset him on every side? Much of the world's best literature has been produced in sorrow, doubt, and indignation. By the death of his dearest friend, Alfred Tennyson was prostrated in mind by a storm of the deepest sorrow and doubt, a storm which for a time seemed to leave nothing but desolation in its path. But a divine light shone upon him, the clouds broke away, his soul awoke, and then only the rainbow of peace and hope shone into his life. Because of this mental coniiict the world has his immortal song, In Memoriam. Burns, during a life of storm and difficulties, sent forth to his people songs that will live as long as there is a Scottish people and a Scottish lan- guage. These personal storms spreading to large bodies have caused our great social and national struggles. They are like the tornado, wild, raging, and destructive. But after the fiercest storm comes a calm. The conflict has swept away all that was weak, wavering, and useless, left only the strong and good, and given the race added security and power. Have not the greatest nations on earth been established through storms of war and bloodshed? Have we not gained our inde- pendence and maintained our power and standing among the nations through fierce conflict? Was not our country pre- served for us by the storm of doubt, division, and death dur- ing the Civil Wa1'? Victory is possible only through contest. Thus the worldls best systems in education, business, government, everything, have come forth out of storm and chaos. A Freshman. L. MoRHoUs. I presume You know that poets oft assume.

No, not the family, for there were only two jolly bach- elors who were intending to have a line time together in a small house on a side street of a large eastern city. Mr. Bert Hull was the older and was a full Hedged bach- elor in every sense of the word, and his younger friend was getting there as fast as he could. To tell the truth, Mr. Bert really seemed the younger. He was a sporty fellow, who wore polka dot neckties and red socks and was always Finding fault with the bald spot on top of his head. On the other hand, Mr. Adams, the friend, was lazy and really didn't care much how he looked as long as he didn't have to work and could take life easy. This is jolly, exclaimed Mr. Bert, puffing away at his pipe as he and his friend sat on the small verandah, while an old man took off the sign For Rent from the window. Better be kind 'r keerful, for it's said that ghosts visit this 'ere house, and the family who jest moved out went on that account, so the neighbors say, said the old man as he walked down the steps. What's that ? asked Mr. Bert. I said ghosts haunted this 'ere house, repeated the work- man. Ha, hag we had better pack up our duds and go back home, Adams, said Mr. Bert. The old man walked away offended, and Mr. Adams tried to laugh but found it was not such easy work as he expected. Perhaps it is true, he said nervously. I suppose it is, but what do we care? For my part, Fd like to see a ghost once, Mr. Bert said, jokingly. No, nog I don't agree with you. Of course, Fin not afraid, but do you exactly like the situation of this house PH If I remember right, you picked the house out yourself, was the teasing reply. Yes, perhaps I did, but I think I made a mistake, and Mr. Adams laughed nervously. Oh, say, Adams, I think this is a dandy little house and so do you, and we'll stay here, ghosts or no ghosts, said Mr. Bert with a big puff at his pipe. That night Mr. Adams did not wish to retire until quite late. Come on, Adams, go to bed, said Mr. Bert with a yawn. XVait until I Finish this story, was the reply. VVhen he at last announced himself ready to go to bed it was almost midnight. Almost as soon as the light was out M1'. Bert was sound asleep, but the light was still burning in the room of Mr. Adams across the hall. Even when the latter at last went to bed he lay awake for some time. The room was very still and the only sound to be heard was the barking of the neighbor's dog. This was kept up until Mr. Adams felt as though he should have liked to have thrown a rock at the howler. At last the poor man fell into a weary sleep only to have the nightmare and see ghosts surrounding him and en- twining their long, shadowy arms about his neck. In the morning he looked pretty well played out, and it made him angry to see how rested and amiable Mr. Bert looked. I-Ie was a first-class cook and had a line breakfast prepared. This is downright fun, this keeping bachelors' hall. I've almost decided to get along without a cook. As he spoke he put the hot coffee-pot on the table with a laugh. Mr. Adams ate a hearty breakfast despite his bad nightis sleep. You are a first-rate cook and no mistake, he said, as he tasted the well-cooked steak. But I guess, on the whole, we won't ca1'e when Chole comes. She is a good natured old soul, if ever there was one, and besides she always has thought the world centered about you. Yes, Chole is good as gold, and she will make things hum, I tell you, said Mr. Bert. After breakfast Mr. Adams did his sha1'e of washing dishes. Later in the day Chole came and began to help settle. She brought some good cooking from home and several mes- sages from Mr. Bert's mother. Now that you have come, Chole, we will get along all O. K., said Mr. Bert. VVhat a nice, quiet place dis is, Chole said, but changed her mind as she heard some children screaming out in the street. XV hat an unearthly noise those kids make P said Mr. Adams at the supper table that day. They have been playing out in the street all day and yelling most of the time. Oh, that's nothingg they are having fun, said Mr. Bert. After supper the two men sat out on the porch and smoked. There were about 11 dozen youngsters in front of the house making a great deal of noise. They had tied a tin can on a sleepy-looking dogls tail and were having much sport with the unfortunate animal. Hey, there. you kids, don't malte so much racket,', said Mr. Bert when he could stand it no longer. The only reply he received was an unearthly whoop from the children as they chased the dog down the street. At this moment Chole stuck her head out of the door and said ex- citedly: Laws' sakes, Mr. Bert, there is two boys stealing ap- ples from de pile by de kitchen do'. I went fur 'em wid a broom, but it didn't work wuth a penny. Mr. Bert arose and sent the two lads, who were filling their pockets with apples, out of the yard in a hurry. The children on this street are enough to drive any one wild, though Mr. Be1't as he entered the house. He went on the porch again to find Mr. Adams interested in a dog fight. After much struggling the latter separated the two animals and again seated himself on the porch. Whew! we have got into an exciting neighborhood, that's sure, said Mr. Bert, presently. And, besides, we are in a haunted house, you know, Mr. Adams reminded him. Well, I guess something is the matter with it, was the reply. After several minutes there was comparative silence. Thank goodness! sighed Mr. Adams as the last child disappeared. ,lust as the two men were about to enjoy the quietude some one began to practice vocal music in the next house. Pretty late to practice music seems to me,', said Mr. Bert, frowning. They retired early that night, Mr. Adams thinking he would make up for his lost sleep. As soon as he got to bed the ghost question confronted him again and made him shiver. I-Ie lay for some minutes awake, but at last fell into a restless sleep. About one o'clock a. 1n. he awoke with a start. Some cats were fighting under his window and making the most un- earthly noises. Confound the creaturesg I'd like to shoot them, he thought as he turned over and tried again to go to sleep. And then the neighborls dog began to howl and there was a musical program sure enough. The next morning Mr. Adams looked more worn out than ever and he certainly felt cross. I-Iow did you sleep ? asked Adams with a yawn. How did I sleep? repeated Mr. Bert as he sank into a chair. W'ell, how can any one sleep with a whole army of rats running up and down the walls of their room. I say. this house is the worse place I ever struck. lVell, there is one thing certain and that is that the old Workman told the truth. I haven't seen any ghost around here, but it's a haunted house and no mistake, said Mr. Adams emphatically. . That,s right, and I say we move straight out, the sooner the betterf' said Mr. Bert. I have had all I want in a haunted house without the ghosts, exclaimed Mr. Adams, and Mr. Bert agreed with him. GRINDS Grinds. Doty- I smell cabbage burning.
