"That can I," reRponded an agreeable and adroit pecimen of the weaker sex. "Ten decades ago, on thi very revolution of the earth on it axi , a fair a, emhly of youtllH and maiden. congregated in that structure, reared with the intentfon of providing a . nitable location for producing high .路chool plays, for the purpose of receiving their r ords of literary decrr<>e."

As the flames of green and gold Change into human form, The futures of all are foretold As they their works perform.

We see a matron fair In a anitarium grand; Her talents must be rare, For she seems to be in demand.

As she smiles to each and every one, We know we have seen her before.

'Tis certainly Lessie Ander on, Our senior classmate of yore.

We then step into the hall; There are nurses bright and fair. fost are trangers to us all, But two, we recognize there.

One is Gladys Richards of old-, She still has her loving way-, Her patients are always con oled, As she sooths their pains day by day.

The other is Dorothy Daves.

She, too, has found her place; For many lives she saves, And lengthens many a race.

A good speech is a good square meal.-VICTOR STANGEL. 24

But that's not all we recognize, For here come everal men.

They must he doctors, for they look wise.

Do we know any of them?

One, a very dainty little mi s, Hannah Harri it prove· to be.

In High School days she wa called "Si " Rut that will not do now, you ee.

Yes, there's one called Doctor Beach, \nd it must he Francis, too, Because he claims the attention of each Ju t like he used to do.

This time we sec a foreign land. \Ve know 'tis Italy as the scene draw nigh: For we hear Fragoso's Ragtime Band, With Doyle, the leader, standing by. ,\nd as we listen to the tune, Two ladies pass; and, while we gaze, \\'e recognize them ver) ·oon A. schoolmates of our former days.

'Ti~

Eva Goodman with her smile, And Carolyn II ofT man, too.

They seem to have made their lives worth while, As all . H. S. graduates do.

THE REASON

BY K., '12.

Do you think that you can truthfully say, Unless you've already tried to play, That you know what a football man goes through; And the things that he must, or must not do?

Then scrimmage, that's the best of all, And after it' dark fall on the ball .

We have a football painted white ; o we can ee it after night.

Fall on the ball till our arms are well skinned.

Run twice 'round the park and then go in, Wash, dress, and hurry home. It gets old To hear them say, "Your supper is cold."

Have you ever thought of why a boy Should submit himself as a sort of toy, And let the rest knock him around, And see how hard he can hit the ground?

When we have eaten, we're dead tired, you can bet.

But of course we have some les ons to get, Some coal to bring up, and wood to split, And the furnace is low; o we tend it.

Do you think it' fun to go out each night?

Once in a while would be all right.

But the team must practice every day, And practice always in the same weary way.

The first thing is to run back punts.

The ends and line give the back field some runts.

This is always a very hard test, For each man tries to out-do the rest.

Do the chores, study; then go to bed.

Our head aches, some one kicked our head .

"Gee-what's the matter with that leg of mine?

Huh! My sore arm is feeling fine."

Then line up and run through signals a while, And believe me you don't see anyone mile.

"Charge - Line up - Charge - Lineup -Fast-" Until you think that hours have past.

ight after night, and night after night, It's the arne, weary, monotonous fight, For three long months-it seems like a year; \Ve're glad when we're through, never fear.

Why do we do it? Listen, I'll tell ; Then no doubt you will think it wellBut this i ju t between you and me; It's for the honor of wearing the coveted "C".

"I've got a nickle."-HAROLD ARMSTRONG.

Your days of use to us are through.

You've seen us win many a game ; You've seen us iu defeat, but ne'er in shame; You've seen us hit and run the sack; You've felt our sp:ikes upon your back; You've seen us swelter in the SUJ;l; You've heard us yell a!J,d laugl; in fun; You've held u~ when the g,round was froze; You've bumped our sh:ins and bled our nose; You've helped us out in ma11y a fight; So do not think our thoughts are light \tVhen now to you we say, "Farewell!"

0, do not think we have not known Who let us have you as our own.

"They should be u1arried," was the rep!}. "~Iarried women ought to vote in order to help the rising gt•neration of children, then,'' I ventured.

"No," she napped. "Every woman ought to hav' enough tact or per~ua,ive power to influence the home vote. I'll tell you one thing," she said. "Pat alwa) s votes as I tell him to; and if all women saw that their husbands voted the way th ·y wanted them to, therc would be no u~e of woman's suffrage."

By this time I was aware that it was u. e!e to try to convince her that woman'. suffrage wa,., a great thing, and so I left.

THE COLONEL'S YARN

The colonel, who had slopped in to pay the !Joys the annual vi,it, was seall'd on the veranda in the largest and most comfortable chair he could fin<! 'l he boys were soon "apping ) arns concerning their adventures.

After an unusually vivid yarn, the old colond gav the group a sly glann•, and started on the following : "That wa. a good one !!em! Y · , that was quite an perienc , boys. But T ha\·e nev r h~ard of an ath·enture like the one \\ hich befell me, when I was camping up on Lak \Va hington, fi\·e year:> ago.

"One warm, ] uly day, after tramping through the underbrush all morning, I arrived at the north shore of the lake about noon. J was tired out with my long walk; so I tied one end of the throw line around my leg, baited the hooks, and threw the line out into the lake. Then I lay down to re t. I finally fell a~leep, but was soon awakened by a twitching of the line. I sat up, and to my surpri , there wa a flock of ducks about a foot away from me. I jumped to my feet, and at the same time the ducks arose with a loud clapping of wings. And say, I went right up with tlwm.

Up, up into the air, they soared; and when I had collected my senses, I saw that I was seemingly held by the throw hne.

Tho ·e duck had swallowed the hooks.

"When did I come down?

"Oh, the duck were flying south; so let them go. I didn't care about tramping back to camp anyway. \\'hen we neared the outhcrn shore of the lake where the camp was ·ituated, I just pulled my. elf up on the line and began pulling out feathers. s luck would have it, I land ·d right on top of the old camp tent with all the ducks dressed and ready to put in the oven."

Now and then he wa jostled by the logs the ri1·er wa carrying along, but his eye wa · on a dim, white object floating be fore him.

"What if she should be crushed by tho e bumping logs, or lose her balance and be drowned?'' pas. ed swiftly through hi mind.

Quickening his movements, he hurried on; at Ia t he seemed to gain a little on the drifting log, which hore the object he was trying to reach. Almost e.· hausted, he came near enough to discern the color of her dress. Then clo. ing his eyes, he made the great effort to overtake and save her, before she reached the bend of the river and was drowned.

Utt rly c.·hausted. he grasped the log with both arms, and looked up to see,not the girl he cxp<'cted to save,-but a flapping sail, constructed for the amusement of the "kids" at the mill.
