an enchanted fairyland in which We
loved to sojurn. Literature proved an
open Sesame to undreamed Of treas
ures. We wept with King Lear, went
with Portia into the halls OF justice.
Though our teachers name suggested
youth and inexperience, we found her no
novice IN following the thought on the
printed page, and our confidence made
us eager followers of her footsteps.
One of our number bad prediction
for letters. and early gave evidence OF
ability. His romance of the French Rev
olution rivalled Dickens, and we discov-
cred budding talent--that has yet time
to ripen into genius.
Our Junior year found one of us in
Tennessee, the other determined to wrest
diploma from the Louisiana Public
Schools. The loss of four members made
the work Of the year less inviting, but
with an thusiastic leader We overeame the
obstacles in our path and won the prize
we were striving ior-promotion. Down
to the present our path has been long
and straight and narrow and rough.
During our Junior year we watched with
interest the behavior of the Seniors, so
that we would know exactly how to be-
have when we were advanced to that de-
gree.
1911 has been from the beginning a
class divided against itself, agreeing on
no question but Rally. On that occasion,
one of Hs gained distinction in athletics,
the other in literary events. And now
we are Seniors. Oh, joyi Oh, pIeasurel
To think that we can look back at the
under classes and remember how much
better we did what they are now trying
to do. Yet at the same time there is
touch Of sadness about the parting that
is soon TO take place.
The High School has given to US high
ideals, great ambitions and lofty pur-
poses. We are deeply greatinl.
If this historian may be permitted to
reach forth the hand and pull the silken
cord that holds the curtain at the entrance
of futurity, and to look upon the bril-
liantly lighted halls, we would see high
up among the seats Of honor those who
compose the Administering won for
themselves In the battle OF life the fee
Of fame.
Here's to the class of 1s11--the greatest class

With tbs closing of school, last

Tbe installation services at the
Union Church on Sunday night,
when the Rev. w. H. Mcintosh,
was duly installed as pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, at St. Joseph,
were most interesting and impress
sive. The service was conducted
by the Rev. j. b. Carpenter, of
Ruston, La, who was delegated by
Presbytery for the occasion. Rev.
Mr.. Carpenter delivered a most in
teresting sermon on The Pearl of
Great Price, T" essaying to show that
the Kingdom OF Heaven is the one
priceless pearl that is within the
reach of all who will only strive to
attain. Upon conclusion of bis SER
mon Rev. Mr.. Carpenter addressed
certain questions to the Rev. Mr.
Mcintosh. anent his duties toward
his charge and the responsibilities
deyoiVing on him IN the assumption
of his work, and then to the con-
gregation as to their duties toward
their pastor. Following Mr.. Car
penter's utterances, Mr.. F. l.. Guth-
rie, elder OF the First Presbyterian
Church Of Tensas. acting as moder-
tor, also addressed the congregation
and Dir. Mcintosh as to their rela-
tive duties.

And it came to pass that when the
class of 1910 was nine months old, 10!
There was great rumbling throughout
all the country round about st. Joseph.
And when all was again silent, behold
there flashed athwart the Heavens a
dazzling brilliance, the Class OF 1911.
Lord Bacon said, GAS statues and pic
lures are dumb histories, so histories are
speaking pictures" Would that my lips
had been stunG by the Attic bees with
such intensity and power that | could
eloquently frame with brilliant metaphor
and vivid description a speaking pic

embodiment of qualities and personalities

Did you ever hear of Glass Historian
who did not think-and state-that her
class is the best the school ever had?
When the certificates Of promotion
were given, there were six of US to enter
the High School. To-day, our number
| is reduced to two. Some who began with
M saw aIluring visions of success without
diplomas, and left our ranks to return
no more. Two found the hill of knowl-
edge less difficult OF ascent, have scaled
the nights and are now in college for
greater achievements.
Three boys and as many girls, flushed
with pride in the new dignity OF our ex-
allied position, xorked with a will onthe
studies that were thrust upon US. Our
professor led as gently into the bewiid-
ering maze OF Latin verb, encouraging
endeavor with assurances OF their edu-
cative value.
Physical Geography was our heritage
and a most unwelcome task. We were
initiated into algebra and Botany. At
the beginning of 1908 our number was
unchanged. However, Zoology was sub
stituted for Botany and the ''reign Of ter

found habitation and > home in he pro-

The bodies of the three qnfortu-
nate victims of the sinking Of the
launch at Natehez on Saturday
night, May 10, have all been recov-
cred from their watery graves, Tbs
first body to be found was that OF
Miss Abby Darden, which was
picked up by negro in skiff off
Gaines Landing, probably thirty
five miles below Natchez. The body
was badly decomposed and was al
most unacceptable. The next to
be recovered was the young man
Charles P. West, whose body rose
to the surface upon the removal of
the coal barge, under which the
launch was drawn when the catastro-
ply occurred. Mr.. Vests body was
greatly bloated but was easily recog-
nized. The last recovery made from
the river were the remains of Miss
Kate Schwartz, found floating per-
haps forty-fiye miles below Natchez.
The bodies of Miss Schwartz and
Mr.. West were inferred in the Nat
chez cemetery along side Of each
other. They had been engaged for
some time and were to be married
in October. Miss Darden's remains
were taken to her home at Fayette
for intermept. Thus at last the cur
tain is drawn upon one Of the sad
dest incidents that has ever occurred
in the city Of Natchez, which has
had its share OF misfortune within |
recent years. The victims of this
dreadful accident we're among the
most popular in the selact circles Of
and Fayette and their sud-
len and tragic taking has cast q
gloom over those towns. Peace to
heir memory.
