took from them their only darling
babe.
Little Gladys was born Nov. 10
1900, and passed away at the age
of one year and seven months
She was ill only two weeks when
the Savior saw fit to call her home
to that beautiful land of rest. She
was a sweet child and we all loved
her very mach.
Her death is a sad loss to the be-
reaved parents and a multitude OF
relatives who are weeping bitterly.
We know we shodld not grieye for
little Gladys is at rest. She has
only crossed over to the other side
where we all hope to meet her IN
the sweet bye and bye.
Parents, weep not, but prepare
to meet your darling who is resting
with the angels above. Just learn
to lean on Jesus in your sadness and
he will guide and comfort you, and
finally give you happy resting
place in the brightest and happiest
of all homes.
In that happy land Wen meet her.
With our loved ones gone on before;
And again with JOY well greet her
There where parting Is no more.
Her Aunt.

GLASS HISTORY
By
MISS BLANCHE TIPTON
Graduate of Ouachita-Maynard Academy

mits you to view the home of Vera
Maynard. This beautiful home Is
situated about a half mile from
our little town. Here on the "a of
July 1892 Vera first opened her
large brown eyes and gazed with
wonder upon the busy world around
her. During the early part of
Vera's life she was very devoted to
her dolls and pets but quite early
in life she acquired a liking for
books, music, flowers and things of
artistic and refined nature. Vera
was very fond of play but her hours
of recreation were not without edu-
cational value. Her greatest delight
was to write with a stick in the
sand where she would make figures
resembling algebraic expressions
She attended school at the old
academy until 1901 when she enter
ed this school, and has now reached
the point of graduation.
As to the past of our graduate
Nell Lehman we were unable to sum
up all the facts but from association
we find that she was timld but
ambitious child, though her great
est difficulty, when child, was
practice, but by obedience she has
obtained what one would be proud
of, a diploma, as "Post Graduate. p"
Now knowing that you all we'll
remember the past of the last but
| hope not the least of the class,
myself. pleasantly think on the
achievements of the past while our
eyes are toward the future.
The grist sphinx of Egypt is
said to appear to collect the sounds
of ages gone.
While its eyes gaze toward the
east, the land of the morning, so
while we may pause something in
our course to listen to the echoes of
the victories of our fellow hosts of
of the past yet we are but gathering
inspiration, collecting our forces
and preparing for more colossal
things to come with our fortunes
inseparately linked with those of our
beloved academy and with the other
students united by common loyalty,
we boldly face the future and shall
endeavor to hasten the dawn of a
brighter day for both our school
and ourselves.
So come, fill the pipe of peace to
day-and smoke in friendship pure.
Let all toast deep III true delight,
united While our VOWS we plight.
My Goddessl Literature and
music encircled In Athena's hand,
to Maynard Academy we give our
hand.

found the making of noise the chief
means Of enjoying himself on July
Fourth.
We are changing this now. If
the campaign of education goes on
the youth of the country will be
willing to celebrate the day in a
more sane and sensible way.
There was slight decrease in
the number of accidents last year
under the alarming record of the
year before. This has been the re-
suit of the crusade. 1t is hoped
that the statistics for the coming
Fourth will be even more encourag-
ing.
There is no reason why toy pis-
tolls should be sold. TIE ban
should be placed upon pistols, ex-
plosive sticks most of which shoot
dynamite in small quantities; there
should be certain kinds of fireworks
prohibited, and other precautions
should be taken to insure the safety
of the younger generation as well
as the old.
Live your life on July Fourth,
celebrate the day, rejoice in the
glad anniversary, but do not for
get to be sensible in doing it.

ASate and Sane Fourth

Ths press of the country is sound
ing bells of warning against an in
temperate celebration o t July
FOayth.
j. 10 day which we must vener-
Eie. 1t is a holiday dear to every
EssyiOsic American, but 1t should
BO be- marked by an increasing
Ses,b roll.
L. was the Chicago Tribune which
begaD a crusade against riotous
leleisssion of the Fourth, and pro-
vested against the use of firearms
as7d explosives on that day. Others
hsyc taken up the work and now
lbe begs regulated cities are provld'
ing ways and means of entertaining
lbe yo~ng people without endanger-
ing tbsSY lives.
It ~ the activity of the mind,
Bos he functional vitality of the
bO5y. that constitutes life. By the
EnlaTgelDent of our ideas and the
general diffusion of knowledge we
saD give the boy a chance to live
bis life on the Fourth, in a really
bOyisb way, and at the same time
spare bis parents the grief which
ioO frequently comes as a result OF
iic veIebration of this patriotic an
niveIszEy.
.EOjOy thy existence" wrote
jean Paul Richter, "more than any
manger of existence, and let the

be the consciousness of life"
I'be way the Fourth has been
oeaelxated IN the past was with a
seeuliDg disregard of life Men
would put in the hands of the young

yas not done purposely. In the
pleasure of living With the spirit Of
Esa in his young beng, the boy has
