last week one of the High School gal
lants thought that he would be the act
ing Professor and discharged his duties
faithfully by taking II little boy by the
collar and hauling him to the Office FOR
a hearing.
The mock-trial held in Assembly hall
last Friday disposed OF the suit brought
against James Muir by Winfield Sterley
to recover some clothing stolen from
the latters store. Very careful prepar-
alton was made to preserve the honor
and dignity Of the defendant, and this
ranked not higher than the wise coun-
sci and ready genius of the attorneys
for the plaintiff, who labored hard in
order to justify his supposed rights.
Taking all things into consideration the
case was well managed by the lawyers.
This is evident from the fact that they
displayed their skill in grasping and
disposing Of the opportunities to battle
few Of the witnesses. which, by the
consent Of these, he succeeded in doing.
The attorneys for the Commonwealth,
though tho verdict favored the defend
ant and the former pay all costs, deserve
great praise for the manner in which
they conducted their side OF the case,
as they were somewhat handicapped
from the beginning.
Misses Caroline and Nellie Robinson
and Edna Lewis visited the High School
Friday.
Miss Flo Best and Mrs. A. b. Weed
witnessed the mock trial in Assembly
hall Friday afternoon.
The great interest our worthy board
OF directors is taking in the cause of
education is constantly being manifested
by the great attention given to the
needs pertaining to the success, safety
and comforts of the pupils. We have
as the result OF its careful supervision.
together with the aid Of the other citi-
zens. the beautiful building, erected for
the students, the corps of teachers ably
qualified for their positions, who were
chosen after careful deliberation on the
part OF the employers, and the many re-
cent improvements essential to the COM
pletion Of the edifce, which improved
facilities for education we enjoy only
after the voluntary expenditure Of their
money and energy. The place of learn
ing and the work being done there for
the pupils benefit are strongest factors
in the process by which the pupil is
led out into the greater intellectual
freedom where he win have broader
scope Of knowledge and a sounder con-
ception Of things. To the scholar, what
greater inspiration is there to lead a
studious life than, after he has been for
sometime under the impression that
none could boast OF such vast learning
as he, then awakes to his folly--thus
overpowered by that feeling (which all
should have) that the majority of the
people are far in the advance of him
along the same line OF work-than to
look back and see a whole community
laboring for his future welfare. We,
as Seniors, sincely regret that our last
term in Reynoldsville High School is
drawing nigh close, yet we cannot but
rejoice that the time spent in perform.
ing the students tasks has been the
means of aroosing in us determination
to continue the work which has proven
so profitable to us here. We feel CRATE
full not only TO the directors but to all
the citizens Of our town for their aid to
the school cause.
There is not enough interest taken in
our literary society. 1t seems that we
do not care for literary work. This is
entirely wrong. The scholars of the
High School should take such an inter-
est in the society and its work that our
club would become famous in the school
and the town. 1t may seem to some
that it is rather late to begin to rouse
ourselves so that we may have good and
interesting meetings Of the SOC |, but
remember the old adage, bet late
than never" The object of the l.Oerary
society is to teach us to express our
opinions to our fellows. But If we new
or try TO help ourselves, how do we ever
expect TO be able to do this?
We should not wait two or three
weeks to get prepared when we are on
the program. As soon as we learn that
we are to take part, w should begin to
prepare ourselves. When it is time for
us to do our part, we should do it cheer
fully and willingly and not come TO the
front of the stage with an expression on
the face Of "Well, just had to do it, OF
/ wouldd't."
; When you go to college you will have
to take part in this same kind OF work
whether you wish to or not. If you
learn now, you will have so much less
| to learn then. | imagine that hear
