With music there is power. The
| fife and drum will quicken hearts
that can be moved by scarcely any
thing else. Music is used to ex-
press affections that words do not
contain. Without music the world
would be dreary place for there
is nothing so soothing and consol-
ing as a bath in the fountains of
harmony.
1t is an excellent thing for any
one to be accomplished in music,
especially young lady, for upon
the young ladies Of to-day may de-
pend the care of homes and the
culture of tie future men of our
country. Abraham Lincoln, the
man of men said, "All that l am,
and all that | hope to be, l owe to
my angel mother"
Then, besides this, 1t behoves
every American girl that graces an
American home, TO know something
of music in order to keep the home
as cheerful as possible. A home
may at all times be pleasant, but
the sweet effect of music may exert
an influence that nothing else can,
Ladies if you would live in happy
home you should begin while you
can, to learn music, in order that
you may cultivate and promote hap
piness in your own home.
1t behoves us all to be cultured
and accomplished. The time now
Is when it is to our benefit to take
high rank if we expect to make a
showing in this land of oars. We
have greater advantages than our
fathers had. We must do greater
things, Not this only but our nap
piness depends on our achievment.
If we wish to be happy we must
gain happiness. Que of the best
ways OF doing this Is by having the
consolation that we are somewhat
accomplished, that we have paid
the price, and that we are able to
do what our land demands of us.
We must become powerful in or
der to advance the world. There
Is the field of invention which seems
now to be inhabited principally by
gen;ouses, aud if we work there we
must accomplish the lower wolk
first. We do not know what can
be done or made but until perfect
ion is reached there is need of ac-
complishment.
In conclusion / ask you what is
your accomplishment, or what do
you hope to accomplish? Do you
mean to drift through life and
leave no record? Do you mean to
be satisfied without power and abil-
ity, or will you say now that you,
like the great men of whom | have
told you, will determine to climb
the Alps, step by step, make your
life worth living, and be an honor
to your home, to your country, to
the world and to your God.

Glass Poem
Fred Crockett

Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on memorys WALL
Is one of my 0. M. A. classmates
Which to me seems best of all.
In fancy | seem to see them
AS they were in the long ago,
With their heads bent low in study,
But with happiness agoW.
The first on this picture of memory
To swiftly sail into port,
Is the class validctorian,
Our friend Burl A. Short.
With measured step and slowly
He all his work pursued,
And has gained for himself an honor
Which no one dare call crude.
Next in this picture of fancy
There appears the face
Of our faithful secretary
A girl of unsome grace.
In sunshine or in shadow
Her smile is still the same,
We can always depend on our classmate
Mayme Haven by name.
Still shifting again the pictures,
There meets my mental gaze
The face of our dear vice-president
With pleasant and manly ways
In wisdom none eXcelled him.
He possessed a character true;
Iis Benjaman H. LncOn
That now bring to view
Continuing my retrospection
..I | hear the measured tread
OF the treasure of the Seniors,
Of whom good things are said.
This the pride of all her classmates
And all her teachers too;
Our cOmrade Tommie Crockett
now introduce to you
Next for a moments inspection
In this row Of faces meet
Is our fair flower of Ouachita,
With disposition good and sweet
None knew her but to love her,
None spoke of her but to praise;
Miss Ina Edith Richardson,
next bring before your gaze.
Again the picture is changing
And see once more,
That friend who was noted for goodness
And was true to the very hearts core
For music too she lad talent
To which you will all agree;
IT'S Nell Evedna Lehman
Whom now | wish you to see.
The last in this picture of fancy
Is a girl of winsome ways;
Who on the study of music
Has labored many days.
Her smile is like the sunbeam,
She's captivating lass.
Take a look at Miss Grace Crockett
Before this picture shall pass.
But now the picture has faded,
And my reveries likewise DONE
I've indulged in close retrospection
Of the class of which was one.
So now if my fancy has wavered,
And if any of this proves untrue,
Just lay all the blame on Fred Crockett
And I'll be much obliged to you.
