Then our ranks were greatly increas-
ed
BY one listless, dull and dreamy.
She never played with other childrea,
Always studied by herself;
Meier exerting herself in talking,
Always very calm and quiet,
But they saw that much she learned.
For Irma Seckkinger,
Fen though with us these two years,
Has reached the end with added glo-
ry.
Here we found with great delight
The master teacher, Mr.. Workman,
In his duties as instructor.
In our history, he taught us
Through our last and glorious year.
We have struggled and accomplished
Under his most perfect lead
| A knowledge of unusual merit,
Of Latin, Math., and History.
Here we also were instructed
In our English and Science
By Miss Reynolds and Miss Simms.
And now, in the Senior year,
One whose name is Mary Reynolds
Has fashioned us path,
A road which leads through regions
Filled with English and with French.
So with all our labors ended,
Here we stand, an immortal six.
All the earth is bright and joyous,
And before us, through the sunshine
Stands the golden gate of promise.
Gone is every trace of sorrow,
AS the fog from off the water,
AS the mist from off the meadow,
With smile of joy and triumph,
! With look of exultation,
We will wait what is to be.
To the teachers, we would truly say:
We have listened to your message,
We have heard your words of wisdom,
We will try to live up to it;
But We are going, o, We pupils,
On long and distant journey,
To the portals of sunset,
To an end, we know not where.
But these behests we leave behind us:
Preserve the fame of our High School
With your best and noblest efforts
See that never harm comes near Il.
See that it is held aloft
AS the guiding star and beacon
To all those who from its portals
Go forth each successive year.
Now, We bid you all farewell!
On the clear and luminous water,
Launch each frail bark for sailing.
May we leave upon the water
One long track and trail of splendor,
AS we sail through purple vapors
To the distant land, Success

BIRDS RIGHTS


We hear of woman's rights, chill
dren's rights, and even cats and dogs
rights; now, let's throw down the
gauntlet for birds rights; their right
to build their nests in forest and field,
in stately oak and roadside grasses.
and rear their little ones unmolested;
right to cheer us with their happy
songs and bright plumage.
Time was when they made homes
in our orange trees and rose bushes,
and not an hour day or night but
what their sweet notes could be
heard, and woe to the luckless insects
that came in the way, for mosquitoes
and gnats are quite relish for the
nighthawk, cutworms and caterpillars
tickle the palate of the old butcher
bird, and the blue-jay is delighted
with a feast of bugs and beetles.
Our matchless singer, the hooking
bird, is we'll pleased with repast of
grasshoppers. True, he will some
times appropriate some of our straw
berries, but just a hint or two that
he is unwelcome, and he vacates;
then on swaying bough will render
his song by way of apology.
The modest little wren would Of
ten make her nest in quiet places
near house or barn. The sparrow
built her nest in the fence corners,
the mourning dove felt at home in
the haystack, and Bob White" call
ed to his mate in nearby fields.
But, alas! Birds are no longer
free They have no rights. The ruth
less hand of man invades their peace
full homes and seeks to destroy them.
We have always thought that John
Audubon was a friend of birds, but if
so he is misrepresented in this vicin-
ity by party claiming to be a war
den for the Audubon Society, and at
the same time killing birds, taking
their eggs, and offering to pay boys
for birds and eggs, and, of course,
some boys are ever delighted to make
money, and will hunt specimens I'M
less prohibited by their parents.
Now, what is done with these birds
and eggs We do not know.
The Audubon Society owns Bird Is
land in Orange Lake, where multi
tudes of birds nest every year. They
claim to be protecting the birds, but
if killing them and robbing their
nests is the way to protect, why, the
word protect has changed it's mean-
ing.
This Audubon warden doesn't con-
fine his protection CD to Bird Islani
but extends his protection CD in the
same manner to birds on other peo-
pies property.
These little creatures are a great |
benefit to mankind. Every farmer |
knows their service in destroying de-
structive insects.
Our fields and gardens would not |
be infested with worms and graSShop- |
pers if our birds were allowed to do
their duty.
We hope someone who is compe- |
tent will lead the campaign for birds |
rights, and on to victory.
