O ur n ex t difficulty was with the o li ves, fo r , of course, n ob ody had thought t o bring a corkscrew and I h ea rd Mary A lb e rt so n say plaintively that s h e was too lazy t o ope n th e m without it , a nd saw her h a nd th e m ove r to D orot h ea, who, b ein g o ur m ost versatile, a nd havin g had practice in past feasts, ea il y accomplished the diffi c ult feat of br ea kin g off the tops o f the b ot tl es w ith o ut ge ttin g g la ss in the o liv es .
I h ad been watching thi s delicate operat io n , and t o m y h o rror th e n ex t m o m ent fo und th at a perfectly good ca k e which I had o n my plate, a nd h a d ta k e n a spec ial fancy to, had disappeared int o thin a ir as co mpl etely as the go d s and go dd esses had a habit of d o in g in V ir g il.

At this point we began l o drink toasts in th e m os t d e li c io u s le m o n ade eve r 111 ade.

This was fo ll owed by o n e to Isolde, o ur besl a ll -a r o und a nd seco nd - h o n o r g irl , n ex t to I sabe l, o ur third - h o n o r gi rl, then t o A li ce, o ur fo urth. a ncl las tl y o n e to V icto r Ber g h a nd Edwin Palmer, o ur m os t popular a ncl b estlook in g boys, r espect ive ly . \ ,V hile w e were performing th ese solc 11111 rit es, Edith, o ur i111p, rog ui s hl y kn ocked A i111 ee's el bow a nd th' whole g lassf ul of le m o nad e we nt runnin g cl ow n h e r dres .

Then Emma sent us off int o peals of laughter with one of h er witty remark . a n d, the next moment, Ruth jumped up and sa id that i f everyo n e h ad eaten as much as they possib ly cou ld, we s h ou ld n ow h ave o ur fortunes told by Isolde, who hacl added this to h er many othe r accomp li hm e nt s. D ut
Emma in sisted s h e mu t hav e one more ol iv e and demanded that o n e of the bott les be fort hwith produced. Mary A lb e rt so n innocently d eclared they we r e all go n e, whereat E mma , who knew how bright Ma r y was, and what a big bluffer s h e was, too, promptly pulled the bottl from behind h er and had h er " last o liv e ... Then the fo rtun es proceeded . Of co ur se it wa mostly a ll nonsense and fun. but some real truths came out, too, s u c h as Isolde's being the most broad-minded, Ada t h e greatest '·Fu sse r ," Dorothea the mo t timid, Helen Fell the quietest, and Lucia the most unaffected member of our class.
ft r this w indulged in tag, hid e and seek, and o th r c hildi sh games-inde cl shock in gly c hil 1ish for full-fledc,·ed a lumn ,e.

Mary l\,J o r ga n look up my bet. h owever, f r l\lary h as a lways been ur best spo rt , a nd _ bravely tried to catc h . h er. ,.
But this was soo n interrupted, for we ca u g ht sig ht of Helen Eva n s se ntim e ntall y looki n g up at the k y; and, of co ur se, we all had to pounce upon h e r with a loud, " ome o ut of I ream l and!" which nearly frightened h er out of h er wits.

Getting coo led off, h owever, didn't mean not talki n g and laug hin g; and Aimee kept up a steady st r eam of conve r satio n , while Bertha smiled h er ve r y jolliest smile over and over agai n .
On the sly we found Ada l ooki n g into a littl e mirror. fixing h e r hair, and we cou ldn't h elp smi ling at "o ur Prinker.''

:J{ N exa minin g th e ball o ts hand e d in b y th e m e mb e r s o f thi s c lass, o n e thin g ab o ve all was s trik;JJ ing, and that was the wonderful in s tinct whi c h everyone see m ed to hav e to catc h o n l o the little ecce ntriciti es of th e diff e r e nt m e mb e r s of it s cla s, and th e g reat joy eve r yo n e l oo k in voting fo r hi s b e t fri e nd fo r the m os t awkward o r the h o m e li est. To say this is a g r eat c la s i s pulling it mildly, a nd o nl y r epea tin g th e se ntim e nt s of milli o n s of p eop le , a nd to say it ha s been a great athletic class is a lso putting it mildl y, but the pro of of thi s la s t state m e nt i th e fact that the class almost un co n ciously voted gy mna s ium as lh e favorite s tudy.
Spea kin g of st udi es. of c ur se . r em ind s u s of g rind s , and ri ght h e r e let m e say that by Lh h ot co nl cs t fo r th e position of bigge t grind you mi g ht think we r ea lly clicl h ave omc hard workers in t hi s c la ss. H oweve r, Darlington won o ut after a hard fight, and s lill live s t o te ll lh c tale.
Wh e n it came to voting fo r th e be t-looking g irl the class was up again t il, ow in g to Lh c great numb e r of beautiful young ladi s in this class the fellows r ea lly co uldn't clccicle on o n e, so we look o ur troubles to the c lass president, and h e voted un a nim o u ly fo r Ruth Powell.
C h oos in g the 1110 t popular g irl wa s another h ot cont s t , but was got away wilh by a r o lin c l\[illcr with flying co lo r s.
lt seems a though it was pretty hard to choose the m ost popular teacher. fo r we certainly h ave th e "pick of the Janel " to sc i ct from; but I kn ow the cla ss will be g rateful t o h ea r that l\1r. Lawson got the greatest number of votes.
No class was ever graduated without their baby and 19II steps right to the front with Mann as their young hopeful.
In these days of silk socks, there has been keen competition for the class sport, but Ed. Palmer gol it on the rest of us by slipping home at the lunch hour to change collars.
\Vh en it comes down to carrying unamirnous, Young has it on the whole cla . The race he ran for the biggest grouch was a dandy, outdistancing all comers, for the laziest he simply didn ·t have a good competitor.
The peed with which 1lill gets through a 440-yard clash is nothing compared to the way he went inlo office a the best athlete. Ile simply tore through lhe opposition the same way he did through Penn barter last fall, only this time he gets the credit for it.
\\'h en it came down to the best-looking member we were up against it, for with eighteen fellows in lhe class we found there wer just eighteen candidates for this position. Of course we don ·t know how this happened. \V e drew lots for the honor and Schaeffer won .
Tn the contest for the one who thinks he i the best looking. the competition was not so keen and Ellison won out: Some o ne voted for the "whole blooming clas ." It is the general opinion that Mr. 1kCracken slipped a vote in on us.
\ \Thether there are a lot of fellows in the clas with a good disposition is a question that we refu e to an wer, but by the number of candidates a whole lot of people thought so. The fellow to pull down this much-sought-for prize was Kennedy, but the way he was handing around cigarettes before the election plainly showed lhat he not only had a good disposition, but was mighty generous.
\\ hen the ballot for the brightest fellow were counted, it was found that there were about twenty-three too many, each of them having a question mark 011 it. • Detectives were pul on the case and the c rim e was traced lo the faculty. so we had to have a new e lection, which Darlington won with a per cent. of one hundred.
You can bluff some of the people all the time, and you can bluff all of the people some of the lime, but you can't bluff all of the people all of lhe lime, according to our old choolmate, Pete Darnnrn.
So it is with Hoos, although h e h e ld o ut against u s fo r fo ur yea r s, we finall y ca lled hi bluff a nd gave him s uch a decisive e lect io n as the bi ggest bltiff e r that there wa s absolutely n o contest.
Of co ur se we had an e lect io n fo r the g r eates t fusser: fo r why s h o uldn 't there be ju st exact ly
e ig ht ee n h eavy fu sser· in this cla ss with those twenty-four finest g irl s in the wo rld ? This wa s a h ot co nt est, and the f ell ows n ea rl y came t o blows whc .1 th ey fo und their three favorites, Go rn e r sa ll , Mill and Ellison tied fo r th e place.
Ev id e ntly the cla s thou 0 ht that a fusser and o n e 11·h o thinks h e i a fu se r were the ame thi1w, fo r in this e lec ti o n we again hav e Ellison a nd i\lill s n ec k to n ec k. \V e appealed to a ce rtain yo un g lady , but s h e refused to h e lp u s o ut beca u se, as h e sai d . " .It was a good ra ce, and may th e best man win."
Wh e n it comes to feet, this g lo ri o u s class of 19 t I h as two ca ndidat es that they a r e willing to mat c h against any in th e co untr y. Trainer and H oos ran a close ra ce h e r e, Hoos h av in g a litll e the better of it because it is sa id h e paicl Lit 13r ot h e r s fo r telling eve r yo n e in the c lass hi s s ize. [t i safe t o ay, h o w eve r. that if e ith er of these fe ll o w s didn't ha ve so mu c h turn ed o ver at the e ncl of th e ir bodies th ey would eac h be a bo ut nin e feet tall.
lh th way the ballots were m a rk ecl it seem to h a ve been a pretty difficult matter to pick the wittiest fe ll ow: fo r. as ha s of t en been said, alth o u g h there arc a lo t o{ witty fellows in the class. the man who wr ote "Sn w l\ o und " wa s \tVhitti e r. However, fo r goocl o ld }]7•rni11g B 11/l c l i 11 wit, i\Iann ha s th e c h o ice . ancl we feel that any fe ll ow who W()uld risk so m e of the s to ri es h e tells deserves this h o n o r.
To say the class dance h as been a s u ccess 1s puttin g it mildly. and this big duty of runnin g th e dan ce a lo n g with a great man y o ther things ha brought E lli so n the h o n or of being th e fe ll ow who h as clone m ost fo r t h e c las .
There see m s to h ave been o n e fe ll ow who didn't get as m a ny good dance as h e co uld hav e wished, fo r h e put o n th e bottom of hi s ball ot a littl e p os t sc ript which r ea d , "A lso ha s clone the cla most.' '
l h ave purposely left the r es ult s o f the h onor electio n s until the last, ju st to make the three fel-
lows who carried away the h o n o r s take the last place in somet hing for the first time in their !iv s. The way the fellow run a head when they get hold of a footba ll is nothing compa r ed to the way they seem t o get first in eve rything e lse. How they get away with it I hav e n't a n y id ea, but h e r e are the result : Dergh, first h o n o r man: Schaeffer, seco nd ; l,rnn ecly. third.

Vve wanted t o become o rga ni zed und e r the authority of a president, so we sca nn ed the h o riz o n fo r a born leader. At o ur class meeting we elected r\da i\[cDaniel. The first of th e m ome nt ous problems to be so lv ed was the m atte r of cla ss pins. It was th e first g r ea t di scuss io n we h ad eve r had, and fo r that r easo n it seemed all the g r ea t e r. S inc e th e boys had to be s uit ed as well as the g irl s, it became sti ll m ore complicated; but at la st a pin was se lec t ed.
K ow was the time to so lve a not h e r problem-which co ur se to pursue, classical o r sc ientifi c. Many daringly braved the clangers of . Latin, while ot he r s, who e mind s were of a m o r e sc ie ntifi c turn , bega n th e ir work iq the lab o rat o ri es.
'N e again e nt e r ed ,the gymnasium co nt est, and r ece iv ed fourth place. This yea r wa s the beg inning of o ur basketball. A lth o u g h n o imp o rtant victory was achieved, a so lid fo undati on wa s laid for future s u ccess.
"\V e had been very wicked a ll this year-so wicked, in fact, that we actually o r ga niz ed a soc iety with th e motto " mal efac ianiu s '' for the spec ial int enti o n of doing all th e mi sc hi ef w e could. O ur fir s t misdeed was to tie bells t o the bottom of o ur s ki r t s, so that th ey w o uld jingle whenever we moved. :\'ext, we tried to estab li s h records in b e ing se nt o ut of c lass th e greatest numb e r o f tim es fo r num e ro u acts of mi co ndu ct. T he n. in the cl ass of a s ub st itut e t eac h e r, we exc hang ed nam es . This caused a good deal of amusement, when Margaret Ri c k stood up , and announced h erse lf as Emm a Williams.
As a final a ct we placed pepper and s nuff in o n e of the classroo m s . We were in s tantl y arraigned by i\Irs. tirling, who described vividly o ur h e in o us guilt, and threatened to se nd for a police patrol to ca rr y the whole class to prison. This was t oo much fo r u s; so we promised to be an ge ls forever.
The n ext year in C , w e felt ready to do g r eat thin gs. We c ho e fo r o ur president 1\Iarie Ne ill, and the wh o le cla ss became very united. We again p ra c ti ced fo r th e contest, and r es um ed basketball, daring to hop e that some clay w e might win th e cups.
Then the id ea possessed u s of b e in g an e n e rg etic , spirit ed class. Heretofore, w e had co nduct ed o ur e lv es very creditably, and had eve n been prais ed by several oi o ur t eac h e rs fo r o ur m ental ahil-
1t1 es, but n ow we wanted to do somet hin g r ema rkabl e. \\ ' e wanted lo do things diff e rently from ot h e r classes. The first step toward this was taken in the spring. \ ,Ve had h eard of the sociables that the A and IJ classes h e ld . \N e said: " \,Yh y n ot begin this yea r ? Why n ot become acq uaint ed with the masculine members of o ur cla ?" Ce r es i\,Ieyer acco rdin g ly braved the firsl soc iabl e, which wa th e beginni1io- o f man y jolly times.
' The n ext yea r we e lected Ruth Powell president , a nd things were set flying. \V e determined we would n ot wait until the A yea r to get o ur class rin gs , as ot he r s had clone, but would get them then, which we did.
This year was o ur first year of h oc k ey, a nd 191 r was wc11 r e pr ese nted on th e sc h oo l learn fo r lhe following year. Helen C ulin wa s elec t ed captain, and Mary Morgan manager.
In the middl e of the yea r it became time fo r the se ni o r s lo g ive ove r the editi n g of lhe Blue a11d Cray int o o ur h a nd . Dorothea Jones was ch osen ed it o r, and und er her s np eri nt cnclcncc the sc h oo l paper was improv ed in many ways.

Again it wa time for the co nt e t , and again w e practiced fo r it. The r es ult was n t lo be known until the ex hibiti o n h eld in the n ew gym na sium before a lar o·e aud ie n ce. On that clay our h ardea rn ed basketball cup was presented to u , and then, to o ur s urpri se a nd g r eat joy, lhe c la s c up for the best athletic work in th e contest! uch an unh ea rd -of thing as two c la s c up in the 13 year is e nou g h to deli g ht anyone; so we mu s t n o t be blam ed fo r o ur d e m o n s tr at iv e r e j o icin g .
At the 19ro C la ss Day we felt o ur se lv es quite as imp orta nt as th e senio r s, though perhaps no o ne el e did; but, at least. we mad e just as much n o ise, a nd att r acted q uit e as nm h atte nti on. So ended o ne of o ur 1110 t interesting yea r s.
Thi , o ur la st yea r, w e enter ed up o n with full co n c io u s nes of our imp o rt a n ce, but with less of lhe eve r e dignity that is ge n e rall y c har ac t e ri tic of sc ni r s.

Our first year was spent principally in getting acquainted-first with the buildin g, then with o ur teachers, and, last but n ot l east. with eac h ot h er. Part of ou r time wa occ upi ed by the Nat ural Hist ory Field C lub under the leade r s hip of Mrs. Dutton, and all seemed to enjoy it great ly ( espec iall y the vivisection of frogs, fishes, bugs, etc., in zoology cla s). Towa rd the encl of the year, the Field ( lub gave a play, in which eve ry o ne took part. Each of u s represented some 1\Iother Goose character and most looked almost human, although there were a few who were doubtful. This year we also orga niz ed a cla s basketball team. Several games were played with outs id e sc hoo ls, and in these we had fairly good lu ck, winning about two thirds of the numb e r. A few of us became rather closely acquainted \Yith the h ydrant and the two large ca ns back of the meeting-house, but o ut s id e of that o ur introduction to the sc h oo l was pica ant.
Upon our r etu rn to sc h oo l the next fall, we fou nd o ur se lv es in Class D; that is, most of u s, fo r a few had been halted by the intricacies of the final exami nati ons of the year before. N' ow we could say with truth that we were in th hi g h sc h oo l. and soo n began our first high-school duties. At a cla s meeting, h e ld s h o rtl _v after ·our return, the class officers were elected. \V e c h ose A rthur Mann a o ur first president, with James S. Ellison, Jr., vice president, and William L. Hoos. Jr., secretary and trea urer. Next, ow ing probably to the fact that we fo und the question of co rr espo nd e nce growing very important, class writing paper was decided up on, and, after a sl ig ht delay, was obta in ed. And n ow came the problem of electing ou r c la s pins. Many class meetings were h eld , joint and n o njoint. all of which, h owever, were remarkable fo r the o rd e r ( ?) preserved. G r eat was the discussion, but at la st the m o m e nt o u s question was settled and we got the pins. This winter a lso we orga nized a basketball team. One game was played-a game with Abington Friends ' choo l-a nd this was eno ug h , for we were so ove r come by the result that we did not h ave the desire left to play any more. But although we were badly beaten, we hacl the co n so lat io n of kn ow in g that it was at the hands of Abingto11·s fir t team a 11cl 11ot the 191 r team, which ,re h ad i11tencled to play . .'\ft cr C hri stmas of this year. o ur time was largely occ upi ed with the interclass debates.

In o ur C yea r , seve ral n ew fellows were wclcomccl int o th e class, o n e of whom is n ow o ur distingui s hed lea d e r. For pre s id e nt thi s yea r we elected Ralph D. l\lills, o ur c hampi o n athlete, and
A rthur Mann wa s chosen vi ce pr es id e nt. William L. H oos . Jr., wa aga in m ade sec r eta r y and trea s urer, which position he retained also during the two fo ll owi n g years . There appea r to be but tw o things which happ e n e d this year es p ec iall y worthy of n ote. The first important thing w as the fact that we obta in e d the g r eatest numb e r of points in both the indoor meet and in th e spr in g sports . A nd the seco nd VERY important t hin g is the fact that we h e ld o ur fir st sociable at this tim e. Ceres
J yers was the val iant girl who co n se nt e d to do the deed. Although t h e r e was a s li g htl y co n st r a in ed attitude perceptible a ll eve nin g o n account of th e fact that we were n ot _vet ve r y well ac(]uainted with the ot h e r sec ti o n of the c lass, n eve rth e less a ll hacl a good time, if t h e numb e r of soc iabl es h e ld the n ext tw o year be any g uid e to go by.
Vacation soo n passed, and o ur junior yea r was at h a nd. O n the whole. our stud ies this year were considerably m o r e difficult than eve r before, a lth o u g h very few of o ur numb er were prostrated by over wo rk.

Finally, after much hu stl e a nd co nfu s io n we were on the train, !raving St. Louis. As so n as the train s tart ed, l ope ne d a paper a nd began to r ead, to help pas away the tim e o n the lo n g. t ed io u jo urn ey ahead of me. S udd enl y J ca u g ht s ig ht of A nn a Miller's name in an attractive advertisement about a " univ e r sa l provider.'' This '' univ e r sa l provider" was n o t a d epa rtm e nt sto r e, as o ne might upp ose, but a bur ea u where sh e s uppli ed yo un g g irl s with e li g ibl e and desirable m e n with r efe r e nc es as e cor t . J s h owed this ad to Dorothy a nd 1\Jary , who did n ot seem ove rwh elm in g ly s urpri sed, si n ce A nn a had furni h eel both of them with esco rt s when they were go in g to the 19 LL dance.
In the same paper. o n a n o th r page, "C ulin 's vV o nd erf ul Horse Bazaar, where all th e leading h r ses of the generation are bo u g ht and so ld ,'' was a dv e rti se d in sta rtlin g phrases.
Now the tr a in was t opp in g at a typical Missouri town, where it was chedulcd to wait for s me tim e. To make the time seem s h o rt e r we decided to take a walk. \ ,Ve were just about a block fr om

When we asked who '' s he" was, so m e o ne e lse sa id: "\,Vhy, don't yo u kn ow? That is Miss C. R. M ill e r .

Turning to see whence . they did come, we saw a m ost attra ct iv e vine-covered schoolhouse, s tanding amid a pretty grove of trees, a s h o rt di tance back from th e road. '·Have we tim e to go in?" Dorothy asked of Mary, " T always did love to watch kindergarten c hildr e n.'' l\Iary sa id s h e th o u g ht we would hav e a few minutes, if we didn't care abo ut see in g anything e lse in th e town m o r e.

\ Ve hurri cl back to o ur train , arriving ju st about as it wa s ready t o s tart. Our journey wa , without furth e r eve nt until ju st b efo r e we r eac h ed Denver.

FTE R my labo r s of. th e past year, it was quite a r e lief when Yea rl y n l ee ti11g \\" ee k arrived a nd
I w as ab le t o visit my o ld uncl e, w h o liv es in a h o u se of Revolutionary fame in an o ld New Engla nd to\\'n. l left sc h oo l sho rtl y aft r th e close of the sess io n o n Friday afte rn oo n, a nd fo und my e lf at m y un c le's pl ace the fo ll ow ing eve ning . As I wa s d ea d tir ed, ] r et ir e d ea rly. I s lept so undly. b u t when J ope n ed my eyes the next morning·, l saw that the window panes w e r e st r ea k ed with rain. At fir t I could n o t think of h ow I s h o uld pass my time, but s udd e nl y I th o u g ht that it w o uld be a good tim e lo exp lo r e the o ld attic w h i :.: h m y uncle had told m e was fill e d with cur ios from the fo ur co rn e r s of t h e world.
l ha st il y dressed, a nd after partaking of a h eHly breakfast, I hurri ed up to the attic. It s ur e ly was a curio s h op in cve ry respect. Pieces of o ld C'>i n s filled many boxes o n the ll oo r ; queerly-shaped figures stood in th e corne r s: o ri enta l cost um es lay carefully fo ld ed in la r ge chests: a nd a nci e nt s hield s, spea r s . words. battle-axe. a ncl fire-pieces ado rn ed the walls. It was a gro up of the latte r weapon which in tantly attracted my attention. Several large pistols lay o n a hi g h she l f. Whil e I was gropin g amo n g th e e, my h a nd st ru ck a smoot h. r o und . ur face. I picked it up, hut before T go t it fairly off the s h elf. it s li ppecl and fe ll to the Aoor.
To my s urpri se a low rumblin g so und filled m y ca r s. , \t first l th o u g ht that it was thunder, but up n l oo king around. 1 beh e lcl a p ec uliarl y s h apecl object rolling about t h e fl oo r from n o apparent ca u se. J wa s surpri"ecl that it co uld make suc h a n o ise. fo r it seemed t o be hut a sma ll ea rth e n jar darkened by age. C nd oubtedly it was the object which I h ad attem p ted to lift from the sh elf .
Suddenly I h eard a weird, thin voice callin g my nam e. lt seemed to come from within the pot. I list ened. Again I distinctl y heard it. A pproachin g th e pot ,vith trembling limb s I nervously picked it up , and r em oved the lid. A deafening roar fill ed my ea r s, a nd I lapsed int o un consciousne .
\IVhen I r ecove r ed m y no rmal s tat e, I saw, to my s urpri se, a tall o ld man with a lo ng w hit e beard , dressed in a white robe.
'·Who are yo u?"' I asked in astonishment.
' 'I am th e ge niu s o f the futur e,'' sa id th e o ld man ; ·'and s in ce you h ave r e leased me from t h at jar 111 which I hav e been confined fo r tw o th o u sa nd yea r s, I will sh ow you any occ urr ence of the futmc that you wish; but up o n o n e co nditi o n. "
'· And what is that?" I questioned.
"That you put th e lid of the jar o n my h ead when I ha ve s hown you a ll th at you desire to cc, so that I may r et urn to m y fo rm e r place of co nfin eme nt.. ,
"Ve r y well, ' I r ep li ed, " but h ow ca n I sec .t he future?"
"What is it th a t yo u wish to sec in the future?" asked th e geni u s.
After a moment's thought I sa id: " L et m e see the future of my clear o ld classmates."
"Th e n put o n th ese blue . pectacle ," orde r ed the genius.
J die! so, and presently sa w before m e a lar ge coa l min e with teams of mu les being driven to and fro. A hu ge sh aft ope n ed at m y feet, and o n th e ot he r side stood a ta ll fl axe n - ha ir ed man.

"Wh y, my old friend. Yi c !' ' I cried. "How arc you?"
"Wh y, h e ll o there, Jimmie. I hav e been loo kin g fo r yo u ."
"Yo u h ave?'' I r ep li ed in amazement.
"Yes,'' sa id Derg h , "I am minin rr boss of this camp, a nd I wa nt a hu sky fe ll ow to drive an extra team of mul es that I bo ug ht la st week."
"H'm !" I remarked, n ot a lt oget he r without disgust.
"It's a good j ob! " "V ic " assured me, "b ut ," h e added. "yo u will o nl y get two do ll a r s a clay."
S ud de nl y the spectacles s lipp ed o ff, and ' 'Vi c/ th e mul es, th e co al 111111 e a nd eve n th e two dollar!\ vanis h ed .
' 'H ow did yo u lik e it?" th e o-e nius asked m e .
"Rat h er c h eap, .. I replied, ' 'but I ' ll try again."
\ Vh e n .I put o n the spectacles again I fo und 111 yse lf in s id e a lar ge circus t e nt. The place wa s crowded, but I managed to see the announcer m o unt th e pl a tform in th e middl e of th e ring , and h ea rd him say: "The first appea ranc e of the wo nd e rful world-famed ju gg le r and acrobat , 'Sticks.'•· Modest "Sticks'' appeared clad in a pair of pink tights with black sa tin trunk s, which exa ctl y matched hi s jet black hair .

S ucld e nl y I s n eezed, an unc o mm o n thing fo r me. but I s m e ll ed a peculiar odo r. Then I discovered what it was.

The o d o r, h oweve r. g r ea tly affected me. and the n ext t hin g that T saw was the Fairmount Park r ace co ur se. Two motors stood at the sta rt. One was a Pullman, the other a Ford. Soo n the Ford driv e r and m ec hani c ian appeared. ]n s tantl y I r ecogni ze d the driver as " '.\Lilt" Fussell by hi s big fur coa t , and th e m ec hanician as "Jim" K e nn edy by hi s bl o nd h ead .
The Pullman driv e r ap p ea r ed with o ut a mechanician. Afterwards r lea rn ed lhal n o o n e would drive with him because h e wa . s u c h a dare-devil at the wheel. \\ ' h e n h e r e m oved hi s leather cap . T saw a c rim so n patch. .' ur e e n o u g h, it was "Johnnie" \Villi a m s. .

When basketball seaso n arrived we already h ad a team o r ga ni ze d . Each yea r we practiced faithfully, played class teams of o th e r sc h oo ls, and mad :: o ut very creditab ly.

~ HE football season of 1910 proved to be the most succes ful one for many years. Our s , tuad was of two years· experience, and soon developed into a strong and fast team. They played hard and fair and pressed their opponents to the encl of the game. This year we lost but one game out of eicrht, toocl third in the Inter-Academic League. and scored 125 points to our opponents' 28
.,.\fter having played so successfully up until the last game of the season. and with brilliant hopes of ticing for the championship of the league with Penn Charter . our defeat at the hands of Episcopal . \ caclerny \\'as a sad and bitter encl. nut our team clicl well and fully earned the praise which was bcsto\\·ccl upon it.
