M . we (tout en emble- i. e. - the tout and scramble) marched back to our gilt-edged special, tired and rather wobbly, but the spirit of fellowship for everything and everybody pervaded us. This time we did not rush around madly trying to decide which car we liked best, but sanely sat down in the first one we stubbed our toes on. The ride back to Denver was one continuous song. The train even eemed to drone its acco:npaniment a it hummed back over the rails. We were at peace with the whole world, and especially did we know that a big silent feeling of comradeship for the class of 'I 6 and for every member of it lay deep down in our hearts. We knew, too, that however many the years that passed by, however great the distances that separated us during those years, the spirit that ro e in us then would never, never be forgotten.

The first part of the journey was made under great difficulty, as the C' s were in constant turmoil. Frequent squalls were encountered and our superior officer, who was a Latin, warned us to tay close to deck, as many had perished in the "F rosh" sea. It was with many misgivings that we dropped anchor in Sophomore Bay on the sixth of june, nineteen fifteen. We et out on the second part of the journey with glad hearts. We passed through fogs of History and our pilot endeavored to teach us Geometry while on deck. We pas ed over several bars of Physical Geography in safety, but struck the partly submerged "burg" of Rome, during the reign of julius Caesar. In the latter part of the econd half of our journey, we were struck by a torpedo of German grammar, but our allies- French and English-gallantly came to our rescue. The second part of our voyage was ended with the ship's officers pouring oil upon the troubled waters. We are awaiting the next stage of our journey with a great deal of genuine pleasure as we have become acclimated to the people and climate of the East. WILLIAM BRYA 70 ��last September in the course of human events it became necessary for us, a group of timid little human beings, to depart from the el•menlary schools and the fostering care of the elementary teachers and thus to sever the last ties which bound U! to home and mother. We presented ourselves before the august auemblage at East Denver, humbly askmg that we be allowed to assume, among the separate and equal powers of this instotutoon, the meek and lowly station to which its customs entitled us. The history of the Freshman class of 1915, in common with that of all Freshman classes of other institutions, is a tale of repeated injuries and insults. \Ve hold the followong statements to be indisputable : That our verdancy on September eighth last, was our own property, and by rights should have been respected . That our bumps of conceit were of truly conspicuous soze and needed not manhandling to reduce them to normal as measured by the Bmet tests. That our tendency to play, indocated by our attempts at games of tag in the hall and on the stairs, was a harmless thing, as it only endangered the li1es of several hundred people. Furthermore that it should have been encouraged, particularly as it is vastly more educational than making goo-goo eyes- the habitual occupation of the upper class students. 72 That our eagerness to recite should be commended, not condemned, by the teachers. \Ve should not be reminded more than six times each day that we are "F reshies" and act like it; nor should we be asked on every occasion, "\Vhat grade school did you come from?" or "How did YOU get into High School?" We hold that we should be permitted to lose our way at least ten times the first day without a giggling audience to note our embarrassment. Also, We should further be permitted to ask every single one we meet the exact location of room H . We contend that, after makmg several tnps to the basement and searchong in every corner for the elevator, which we are assured would take us to room H, we should be forgoven for acquorong a firmly rooted conviction that Ananias has some friends 1n East Denver. We also hold that we should be protected from the jokes of "The wis ~ fools," who stood in our place last year. And we solemnly declare that after june 9, 1916, we are, and ought to be, free from their dominion, and that we, the members of the Freshman Class, do pledge ourselves to fight for this freedom and for our right to impose on the class of 1919 all penalties and punishments given us during the past year. RICHARD HUGHES. �F r.,shman Class, Maon Bu,ldong �omes now to our mind the tale of the Ugly Duckling. Remember, he at first wa corned by everyone, even his own mother, but at last, after work and struggle, he ,urned out to be a beautiful wan. eptember. Overjoyed by the thought that we were at last entering high chool, we opened the door of In like manner, we, the poor little scrubs, entered Latin last a t Latin. Then came the volley of old, old shouts: baby carriage?" "Hello, scrub, did you come down in your "Take the elevator to the cffice." " ay, does your mam'T!a know you're out?" o thing went hard for the scrub-ducklings until we became 9A' . bout this time we began to show some "pep" in the clubs and ga:nes. There was some hot debating in the enate and Reading Club. "Base" inging rolled from the Glee Club, while the orchestra struck on the "Lost hord." The girl cut some trim figures in athletics; this is plain from the snapshots taken by the Camera lub. On, on we struggled with all the great heroes in ancient history, winning 's and 8' m algebra, and learning the conjugation of verbs in Latin until we feel that by next v~1r we, the little "freshmen-ducklings," will be transformed into beautiful " wan- opl-s."

Thi · is the bas1 on which the United tales rests, and if the schools arc: to lit us to be good c1t1zen the1r govern.nent should also rest upon this principle. We, therefore, hold that by nght the pupils hould have full say as to how they should be governed and the nght to delegate that authonty to who,soever they please, students or teachers, as the case may be. We furthermore believe that, given proper time and encouragement, a s tisfactory sy ten of tudent government could be worked out by the pupils. HONOR Y TEM We firmly declare that the Honor ystem should be adopted in the class room as well as in the tudy hall. We believe that each pupil should feel that it is his own responsibility to pass the daily recitations or the occasional te t in the fairest and squarest way possible. And we favor the absence of teachers from the roo, during examinations, as their presence wculd eem to mdicate to some a certain distrust in their honor. ible. No matter how attached to the old school we may be, it cannot be advanced as the model of perfection in school buildings. We abo suggest that the best po sible design be chosen with regard to co:wenience, lighting, laboratories, librarie , and physical welfare. Economy in money is not always the true t economy. LUN H ROOM We wish to thank those who have by their untmng labor obtained for us the lunch room. uch thanks as these are feeble in xpressing the satisfaction in having dinner at home, and in having a good dinner at that. We show our thanks more by the use of a thing than by our words. till, we do wish that they would change the menu oftener. OCIAL HOUR We advocate the resuming of the Friday afternoon dances of previous classes, not only because of the pleasure they would afford, but also becau e they would help to promote ocial feeling among the students, offer larger opportunities to become acquainted, and thus pave the way to more and better school activities. LO KER It has fallen to our lot to again voice the plea for lockers to replace the present cloak halls. o much has been said before on this subject that we feel it is scarcely necessary to go into details. We are ure we may count on the hearty support of the students, most of whom have had hats, coats, lunches, and other things stolen from the unprotected cloak halls, or have found their hat on the none to:> clean floor, rather the worse for havmg been walked on by many feet. EW BUILD! TG This Annual Board, as have previou boards, requests that the moving to a new school building be accompli hed as soon as pas- WI DOW HUTTER We believe in the safety first plan. The present method of regulating the sunlight by shifting four heavy wooden shutters which may break away at any time and fall upon the person adjusting them is a menace to all. They needlessly mar the features and threaten the lives of teachers and pupils. (Only a slight blow upon some portions of the skull may be fatal.) We think the comfort and afety of all should be assured by the removal of these dangerous, noisy, inadequate shutters that have to be operated by a long pole. We favor the abolition of the old shutters and the installation of modern yellow blinds. 79 �RET ROOM Every school needs, and should have, at lea tone fully equipped re t room for its girl . The one now used here, although small in ize, could, with little expen e and work, be transformed into a pleasing, quiet room which would be at the disposal of all. The addition of a rug or two, clean window curtain and shades, several oft sofa pillows, a warm coverlet of some sort, and an extra chair, would go to make the room exceedmgly comfortable and complete. The removal of the mirror to the outer room would also increase the desirability because of the added quiet that would result. BOOK We believe that all text-books should be sold through a school book store. The price for mo t books are high, and the school board could eliminate the retailer's profits by buying in large quantity. The books could then be old at cost (minus expenses). As the purchase of text-books entails hardship upon many families this would help materially. DEBATI G We indorse practice in debating and wish to encourage all who have the time and intere t to jom one of the chool societies. The time will come when they will be asked to preside at some meeting. They will owe it to themselves to know the simple rules of parliamentary law, and culti ate practice in expressing their opinions while on their feet. 0 THE A UAL It has been rumored that this Annual wdl be the last one. We, the present Annual Board, will express the opinions of former boards as well as our own on this subject. The Annual is the object around which all chool activities are centered. thletics look to this book for its completion. Plays, kates, and other ocial events are given purpo ely to cover the finances. If there were no Annual, these events could not be given and without them the school would be like a jail. Literary work, which means life to some students, is givl'n due prominence in its section. Without the Annual this work would not be done, and as a result fewer students would attend our High chools. The Annual is the only tie between the graduates and their school life, which would be forgotten, if they did not have in their own possession a complete catalog, pertaining to every member of ~heir class and to every activity. The Annual is put out by people, who are not interested in Athletics to a great enough degree to take active part in them. This book, therefore, affords the outside work and enjoyment for the editors, as athletics form the outside work and enjoyment for the athletes. The experience received is worth a year's course in studies. Therefore, since the loss of the Annual means the downfall of athletics, social events, literary work and in fact '!Very school activity, since the editors receive ample reward for their W<irk, and since the finances are always cared for. we desire to ask where there is any foundation for this rumor? Further, why, after a trial has been made through a long period of time and in a great many different places, give up a thing which has ever been a success? Why not give up every other activity? In short, why come to school at all? �lfrlfart <!lommitttts King, Kirk.

Considering the fact that the material was entirely new to him, Mr. Puffer turned out a splendid team, which lo t only one game in the championship series. Ted Glendenning, old East Denver and University of Colorado star as tsted him. The plendid work of acting captain Jordan, captain-elect Mitterwallner, Paul Brigg and Pat Lamborn, all of whom made the all- tar city eleven is worthy of special mention. These four men were the backbone of the team. Other worthy members were Pernn, Freeman, C. Lamborn, McCutcheon, Adams and Frank Briggs. Briggs, although the smallest player m the entire city conference, played end on the first team during the entire season. He weighed only I 2 7 pounds and was but five and one-half feet tall. Briggs is a Sophomore. II the above named played a steady and consistent game. The season opened with the whole school behmd tts team and closed in the arne way. The Ea t-Manual game, which decided the city champtonship, was a heart-breaker. East went down to defeat at the hand of her old rival by one point. Old stand,by "johnnie," after making the touchdown for East, made a try for goal but the wind blew the ball off its cour e and he missed. We'll hope for better luck next year and with a captain such as Mitterwallner to lead the Angels' team, the season is bound to be a successful one. Here's to you, Mitt!

The scores for the season were: Ead 27 East 8 East 6 East 6 West Denver orth Denver South Denver Manual 0 6 2 7 By ]IM GAY OR, Capt. 83 ���The final event on the athletic calendar Ia t year was the city track and field meet which the East Denver athletes captured with a margin of 2 7 points, a fitting close to a successful year in athletics. Our track team was not contented with merely winning this big spring event but also thought it necessary, as a finishing touch, to bring forth the individual star of the day. Keith Clark proved to be this athlete, and stepped forward to become the man of the hour. Clark, as individual tar of the meet, made 24 points for East, winning the high and the low hurdles and the broad jump, as well as placing in four other event and running in the relay. John Jordan distinguished himself by coming forth as a dark hor e in the pole vault, which he not only won, but he also set a new city record at 10 feet 73/4 inche . The former record was 10 feet 7 inches. Paul Briggs, who will captain the 1916 squad, won the pole vault in the meet of the two previous year , but was not able to compete in '15 on account of an illness from which he had not fully recovered. Gabby Holland, captain of the team, won the 440-yard dash, as was his usual custom, in 53 4/ 5 seconds. This time, by the way, is the city record, which was established by Gabby during the previous year. East seemed to have a monopoly in the distance runs in the persons of Forrest Williamson, who won the 880-yard run and Hugh Gillis, winner of the mile run. William Hobbs took second place in the mile and Wilkin Sheldon, captain of cross-country, placed in the 880-yard run. One place in the meet came to us without question, third place in the high jump, which was tied for by three East Denver track men, Clark, Jordan and Wellman. The East Denver track victory was due principally to the splendid coaching system of Mr. Roy B. Kester; to the work of Captain Holland and Manager Bruce Tidwell, and to the support of Keith Clark. JUNIOR MEET The Junior track meet of '15, which, as usual, occurred a little before the city meet, was equally successful. and turned out the second individual star, Jim Wyman, who won three first places and a number of other points.

This novel plan for early spring practice was innovated by Coach Walter R. Sheldon and it proved very effective. At the end of the two weeks' training, it was possible for the coach at least to come near judgmg "Who's Who," and an all-star team was picked from the league to go up to Golden, where they played the State Industrial chool. East Denver lost this game a well as a number of other games early in the season. These defeats, together with the fact that it was doubtful whether all the first stnng men would be up in their studies for the championship games, made things look gloomy for East. The players did not become di couraged, however, but only worked the harder. Results came, the players became faster and faster, a wonderfully speedy infield was developed. Out-of-town teams were defeated and finally tho e players who had been down in their studies were signed up. When the first city championship game was near at hand, the Angels knew they had a fast, steady team, and they proved it by easily defeating South 12-7. imilar scores resulted in all the other city games with the exception of the game with orth. Thi loss was due largely to the fact that Cowen, our shortstop, was not able to play. The most interesting game of the series was the East-Manual game, the one which decided the city championship. When the eighth inning came around it looked as though Manual had the title cinched with a score of 6-3. Ward was the second batter up for East and singled with one out. Weiss singled, Schiele bunted and reached first. Guy Cowen now stepped up to the plate and virtually gave the championship cup to East by knocking a home run when the bases were full. This made the score 7-6 in favor of East and it remained 7-6 until the game was ended. To Guy Cowen and Fred L. Anderson belongs much of the credit for winning the championship. Cowen was, without a doubt, the speedie t shortstop in the league, easily making the all-star team. Anderson could always be relied on for cool and clever pitching. He a! o made a place on the all-star team. Johnny Jordan, as catcher, played a consist(nt game and had a peg that never failed. Ro coe Ward led the East Denver batters. Wendell Hedgcock performed the duties of manager in a creditable manner and George hart, as captain, led the team to victory. In order to celebrate the winning of the city championship, a banquet was given in the Kaiserhof hotel for the letter men: Jay Williams, Jim Wyman, Alvin Mooney, Joe amuelson, Adolf Weiss, Harry Lig~itt, John Blanch, Lewis chiele, ~endell Hedgecock, Harold Bennet, John Jordan, Fred Anderson, George Short and Guy owen. At the banquet Guy Cowen was el~:cted captain of the 191 6 squ1d and we all hope that hP may turn out another championship nine. W. F. KELTY, '16. 9 ���iBnys· ilashrthall oon after the close of the football season, oach Puffer called out the candidates for basketball, and the call was re ponded to by about forty fellows. The team was handicapped by the los of three men from last year's squad, but the new fellow soon showed that they were a good as the last year men. East Denver entered the Y . M. . A. League and gave a creditable account of themselves. Coach Puff r used many different line-ups in the "Y" games, o as to get the best one for the city league. The team had outside games with Boulder Preparatory chool. Colorado chool of Mines, Colorado prings High chool and Golden Reformatory School. The city league opened with East playing outh. This game was featured by the playing of Jordan and Westergreen. Although this was Westergreen's first year in basketball at East Hi, he played as though he might have been on the team for years. East won by a score of 27 to 22. The second game wa with Manual. East played a good defensive game. elson, a first team man, was hurt before the game and his absence was seriously felt. Pat Lamborn played Nelson's guard and held M anual's star forward to one basket. Adams also showed up well in this game, which our chool won by a score of 23 to 14. To the surprise of the East supporters, the next game was lost to North by a ont'point defeat, 18-19. This game was lost on account of the basket-shooting, which was not quite up to its usual standard. In the final game, which wa with Wet, East had its regular line-up on the floor and played the best game of the year. Nel on and Pat Lamborn did orne effective work in thi contest, while Dimmitt and the forwards were piling up a score. Dimmitt showed up well in shooting baskets. East won, 36-2 7. Taken as a whole, the season was successful. East tied for the city championship with South and had one player make a forward on the all-star team, John Jordan. The season ended with a game at Colorado prings, where our team lost to the pring Hi. Much credit is due to the coaching of Mr. Puffer. The fellows who were out for the team but did not make their letter, also helped the first team greatly. Tho e who received letters were Westergreen, Dimmitt, Nelson, Lamborn, Adams, Manager Jordan and Captain Anderson. Pat Lamborn was elected captain for next year.

Thirty-five boys, who were in fine condition, entered, each one eager to win. Every match was fought out to a finish . It was impo sible to know the winner until the last point was played. A the tournament came to a close, such stars as Dimmitt, Douglas, Fleming, Babcock, parhawk, and C'harle , could be seen struggling for honors. Those who received monogram were: Babcock for singles, and parhawk and Dimmitt for double . Though East Denver did not win the city championship this year, the boy played exceedingly well.

Anna Jardine was in fine condition, and won the championship m singles, defeating Annette Meyers in two sets, 6-4,6- 4.

And so it is with the athletic squads at our school. Every member of the different teams must be a good consistent player, but even though they all are proficient, there are always those who go a little further and lead the leaders. Below is a list of the athletes at East Denver High who have so distinguished themselves as to make the various all-star teams of the city. In looking over these all-star athletes, there is one who can well be pointed to as the "all-star-all-star" athlete of the school, John Jordan. Special mention is also due to Keith Clark, who was the individual star in the city track and field meet last year. FOOTBALL Paul Briggs, quarterback. Merwin Mitterwallner, left tackle.

The first hit of the evening was A11nes, otherwise Vera Gustafson, the "little goose of Buchenau.'' Pretty in her e\ery movement, she mtg!!t well have been the girl whom two, or even more, suitors would seek . Equally as well sutted to her role was Lela Cronin, Agnes' grandmother. Yet we must confess thai we ne\er knew she could worry so much or weep so many tears as she did over her dear grandchild. Baron von Buchenau, the "gross papa," was ideally portrayed by Eugene Friedheim. His fa ' thful sen ani, Jakob, was perfectly impersonated by Gus lave eumann, with his blunt German way . Oh, Paul Freeman, you vtllain, so cool , so refined; you deceivmg von Silbering, you shall at last meet your doom, and lose the golden apple of your schemes. nd now our hero, tall, fatr and strong. Perhaps he ts a ltttle uncouth, and ignorant, thts Simple country character of Von Fink, but everyone who saw him will agree that Gross Smith made a fine hero. We all liked to see htm win fair Agnes. This lively affair was intensely enjoyed by the audience, and the efforts of Miss Sternberg were well repaid . Qtougrr !IB-tl iurrua A short watt of len minutes, and we see before us a heart-breakmg, side-aching comedy, "The Tyranny of Tears.' Oh, Mabel, stop your crying! Who was Mabel? She was the tearful, tyrant wtfe of Mr . Parbury. Ed ith Fairchild brought thiS character weepmgly before our eyes. The poor vichm of her tears was Mr . Parbury, Jo!!n Carter, a veritable author, whose poor hair was "smoothed when he'd rather it was roughed , and roughed when he'd rather it was smoothed." John made us pity, but at the •a me time, condemn him; pity htm for his hard luck. condemn him for his weak will. Fmally a leswn is taught Mrs. Parbury, but tt is not the lesson but the teacher who enchants the sympathrzing audience . ThiS teacher is Miss Woodward, thirteenth daughter of a small-town clergy man . This role 15 played by ever-smiling Dorothy Andrews. Gunning, an old college friend of Parbury's, proves the trouble maker, boasting of his "independe nce." But, Ah! He, too, falls, under the caphvating eyes of Miss Woodward, Parbury's stenographer, and 15 the "lucky man.'' He is Moreland Humphreys. Colonel rmitage, the wtdowed father of Mrs. Parbury, was the fun of the play. As Donald Harley's deep voice and rotundity were much concerned about his freedom "since he regained his liberty." Willa Ferns lakes the part of the "Frenchy" maid, and Kenneth Shaw portrays the butler, "H'Evans," with his h'English h'accent, and a London fog tn h15 nose . As a parting word we must remember Mr . Pitts success, the greatest of all h .. plays, and render our thanks to him a thousand fold . Do not let us forget the 'Manager" (with his kindly helpers), Stentorian Tom Harvey, who assured us "full houses," regardless of cost of time and energy. HE 'RY A .

The member of the team are cho en from the chool at large, both gtrls and boy being eligible, by a committee of teachers, who judge at a preliminary debate. "Re olved that Capital Puni hment be abolished in the State of olorado," was the subject for debate. The East Denver team sustained the affirmative of the question, and after one of the most hotly conte ted debate ever held in Boulder, East Denver lost the debate. The Elimination y tern governs this conte t and one defeat disqualifies the school from further participation. TRIANGLE DEBATE OUTH DE VER-EA T DE VER DEB TE The fir t of these debates was held between outh Denver and East D enver. East Denver being repre ented by Rollin Whitehead, Frank D eis, and Marcell Koeneke. "Re olved that there hould be a tate Board of rbitration with Compulsory Powers to settle all Labor Di putes." The East Denver T earn v ry ably supported the negative of this question and were awarded the d ecision. This victory kept East D enver in the race. BOULDER-EA T DE ER DEBATE The econd debate of this series in which East Denver took part was held early in the spring at Boulder. The team originally was composed of Frank Deis, Ernest Trattner, and Marcell Koeneke. Unfortunately for East Denver, Frank Deis wa taken ill the night before the debate, placing a big handicap upon the team. His place was taken by Sam Wall of. 110 The Triangle Debate is, by far, the BIG debate of the year. Every year there are between twenty-five and thirty ongressmen fighting for a place on one of the teams. The keen and friendly competition among the members was increased this year by a prize of five dollars in gold, knuwn as the Beckhart Prize, offered to each member of the ongress team or team , which come out victorious. This year ongress was represented by James Field and John Carter in Pueblo, while Gordon Lindsey and Howard Vickery composed the home team which debated Canon City. The question for debate was, "Resolved that an embargo should be placed on the exportation of arms and munitions of war to belligerents." The Pueblo team upheld the negative of the question and won hands down. The affirmative was upheld by the home team and was beaten by anon City only after a hard and interesting discussion. S. Z.

Meehngs are held every other Thursday afternoon of the school year. The programs are always extremely interesting, and are somehmes followed by a business meeting. orne of the people, whose lives and works have been studied th •s year are 0 . llenry, MacDowell, and Michel ngelo. At one meehng George Bernard Shaw's play, "The Man of Destiny," was presented. There are usually some mus1cal numbers, a dance or a reading, and always the Minerva Journal. The program comm1llee tries to arrange the programs in such a way that each g1rl may take pari at least once during the year. ew members are adm111ed in September and February and are inihated at a party and dance g1ven them by the older members. Congreu joms Minerva twice each year, once in a party and dance, and once in giving a play. The Minena luncheon is also an annual affair. This year it is lo be held in Daniels and Fishers Tea Room . The girls always enjoy a lovely lunch and a very pleasant afternoon. Besides its real purpose, I am sure Minerva has done for other girls what it has for me, g1ven them the opportumty of knowing some of the finest girls at East Denver. DoROTHY SHAW ANDREWS, '16.

When I told him that I had been present at a meeting of Congress that very evening. be became even more interested. "I shall never forget Congress," he said.

It trains its members to think logically, clearly, and above all justly. We cannot pay a tribute to our critic, Miss Kennan, which will adequately express our love and thanks to her for what she has done for us. If we are true-minded, wide-awake citizens, we give her all the credit. A debate between the Forum and our Club was held on April 7th, in the Assembly room, at 3 p. m. The subject of debate was, "Resolved that the United tates adopt the literacy test for all European Immigrants." The negative was upheld and won by our Club, represented by Jane Allen, Margaret Haggott, and Ruth Sherrell. The Forum was represented by Randall O'Neil, Walter Rath, and David Tannenbaum.

Its members have done everything to help make it one of the most substantial organizations of East Side High School. The popularity of the club is well shown by the membership. Eighty boys and girls answer the roll call at every meeting. However, in spite of the large membership, the school, as a whole, knows little about the real doings of the society. At every meeting a skillfully selected program is presented under the supervision of Miss ternberg, founder of the "Verein." It usually consists of one or two essays, musical recitations, humorous and serious dialogue, and a song in unison. All conversation and business is carried on in German. The meeting over, all adjourn to the lower regions (meaning the basement cafeteria), where refreshments are served. It was once suggested that pretzels and root beer be served, but the American appetite of our pseudo-T eutons could not reconcile itself to such an alliance. The next day the program is discussed and criticised in the class room. Taken all in all, the German Club is without doubt one of the most potent educational factors at East Denver, as well as a source of enjoyment socially.

DWICH When other days have come and gone, In our memone still shall he, Fond recollections of our dear Beloved and only High. Our school days shall we then recall, And ponder each one o'erThe lessons learned, the merry times, Of days that are no more. Then here's to dear old Ea t Denver, The greatest school on earth! Oh sandwich, lonely on the floor, Last, lone, remnant of the maddening crush. Your snowy whiteness marred by feet That, disrespectful, tread you in the dust; Your owner, sorrowing to his seat Goes, angry at the passing fork That speared you from his careless hand. Our Alma Mater shall we love, 'Twas she who gave us birth. And when her sons and daughters part To some far distant clime, May we pu h on our work begun Until the end of time. How dingy your countenance, and sad, Lying on the unswept floor, While all around you, to the door Lie crumbs of morsels, well enjoyed. Alas! what black pest is that I see? A fly! A fly! Your doom is sealed, Oh! Last lone sandwich on the floor! fRA CE The Red and White we'll ne'er forget As long as we are here; We'll work for her while still we can, In memory hold her dear. COTT.

You know that woman? he's a cat, ot in my class at all ! And Mrs. D . told me today ~ I can't believe it all! But Mr . D., she told to me, And don't you dare repeat it! That Mrs. B. drinks in her teaPs! ps! could you believe it? And Mrs. B., she dotes on tea! I think it out of fashion, And nothing now but Columbine Will satisfy my passion. Oh, mercy me! and there's the bell! That hussy, Mrs. B. Why Mrs. B. your looking well, And how you flatter me By calling at my humble home, And won't you have some tea? Why, no, I can't go calling now, I've company, you see! 132 DOPED TEA And now she' s gone, we'll talk some more Oh, must you so soon meander?

We welcomed her with opened arms; he stayed a while to sew. I do not care for any tea, I'll just sit down and chat; I've cut out tea with sugar in, It does make one so fat! So Mrs. C. was wrong again As to tea with Manna, And from now on, for gossiping, Amen !-so help me Hannah! EVAN CROASDALE. �A FR HIE'S PLEA A moment, Mr . Barrett, Please, if you can spare it, Of your valuable time. Mr. Pitts thinks I'm bright Enough to make light, A proof of the darkest kind. It injures my vanity, And looks like profanity, This 0 of mine. Though my hosiery's red, I am sure what he said Referred to my mind. Although Miss owperthwaite Says I'm no heavyweight, Mentally speaking, of course. If I tried I ought I've passed with some ease Through many narrow C's, And this takes mental force. If you'd let me flunk, M1ss Kennan thought To be her pride and joy. o I'd think it punk For I'm a real nice boy. HAROLD WAG ER. YOU CAN'T FORGET You may win a stack of honors In the land of foreign cenes, You may have your name emblazoned In the books and magazines; But you can't forget the old days, The days of work and play, pent together at East ide High, When the world was young and gay. You may travel in all luxury O'er thi land, and others, too ; You may know the greatest plea ures, And of troubles, just a few; But you can't forget the old days When you wore the colors, red and white, And sang the praise of East Side High With great glory and delight.

The youthful man, who knew not sin, With best prospects spread before him Encountered you one dreary night; 'Twas then you blew out hope's bright light.

Trees are found everywhere, but most of them are found in the woods. ix trees make a forest, three make a grove, and one tree make a man di gusted, when he is trying to rai e an orchard. There are everal different kinds of tree , notable among which are apple, peach, beechnut, weeping willow, and family trees. There is no better tree than the apple tree unless it i two apple trees. The peach tree is one whose roots go far back into antiquity and produce a fruit that looks like neither her father nor her mother, and of whom the envious say they can't see what men can like about her. The peach tree thrives best in parks and on the seashore and produces a fruit known as the "date." Beechnuts don't grow on the beaches despite the fact that many nuts are found there. Weeping willows grow down in the dumps. HOW COULD YOU BE 0 CRUEL? Mr. Pitts told his fir t hour class that he had directions to send them to "H."
