at the High school. The privileges of the occasion extend only to the mem bers of the academic division of the Senior class and are regarded with envy and admiration by those outside the pale.
 Individual traits which have made profound impression upon the minds of classmates of the opposite sex re- ceive recognition on this gala day, when a vote is taken by way of desig- hating the most studious, beautiful, popular, valiant, eccentric, etc. At least, that is the theory. It chances occasionally, however, that a depar- ture from the, regime is made when some one proposes for enrolment as the "quietest" one whose omnipresent, effervescent, vociferated enunciations have. been the life and spirit of the school for four years. Hence, the list is not invariably a matter of statfs- tics for general edification.
 The second and most popular DOT tion of Characteristic Day." is the disposing of a luncheon provided by the class. The menu consisted yes- terday of cake, fudge, ice cream and a milk can of red lemonade. The entic- ing refreshments were served upon the lawn surrounding the schocs by a score of gallant young men under the
 
 Jennie Dargan and Miss Grace Hall.
 Whether the young men of 1910 are as charming at all times as they were yesterday is not definitely known out side the class organization, but 1t is rumored that their magnificent show ing was due to a correspondence course of instruction instituted and directed by the Glass Hero," Kenneth Kiefer. Certain it is that each one did his noblest toward rendering the affair a success. Palpitating in am- bush, the brave youths awaited long in advance the coming of their fair classmates, and as each lady appear ed, she and her cake were escorted in triumph to the banquet tables, where the confections were deposited; the en- tire company of young men acted as guard to each member of the gentler sex.
 At five o'clock the students of the commercial department were dismiss ed for the day; at two minutes after five, the celebrating academicians dashed up the steps of the building, bearing plates of cake and ice cream and the milk can containing the resi- due of the ruddy lemonade. No one cried halt until the room of Aaron Wittstein, one of the commercial in- structors, was reached. During re- cent term of substitution as teacher of German in the academic depart ment, MT. Wittstein made the impress sion of his life upon his youthful charges, and received the sobriquet of "Class Querido." MT Wittstein is thoroughly familiar with the Spanish language and has always adequately appreciated the title bestowed upon him. E4
 It was with unlimited pleasure, therefore, that he welcomed the ami mated invaders, who regaled him with refreshments and called loudly for a speech. MT. Wittstein responded hap oily and the festivities concluded with the shouting of the school yell, the word "Wittstein" being substituted for "B H. s.
 MT. Simonds and Miss Wendell of the faculty were the guests of the class during the entire afternoon.
 In the presence of a large concourse of interested friends, Junior Day was observed this afternoon at the local High school. The stage in the assem- bly, hall was prettily decorated for the occasion and the class colors given due prominence.
