serving boiled eggs which is apt to dis
concert the English visitor. 1t is told
of Thackeray that at his first Ameri-

dish. Among the array of things
placed before him was a goblet hlled
with something that he failed to recog-
nize, and he also missed the eggs. In
answer to his inquiry the waiter said,
That's them in the glass; We'll, but
where are the shellsY asked Thack-
cray. You didn't ask for the Shells

Ike and Forest Meet Saturday, october 2.
Meet stowe at Lake Sterling.

The "PalhfindeIs" of Johnson High
School are attracting no little attention
with their hike aud their strange athle-
tic meet which is 10 run off at Lake
Sterling, Saturday, Oct. q The daily
and county papers all over the state have
been taking mp the matter, and the COZ
sensus of opinion seems TO be that John
son has solved the problem of tall athle-
tics for the small country High Schools
of Vermont. "Why not make the very
best use of the natural advantages that
God has given us? Why have football
in the fall, sport that is not adapted to
the small High School and is expensive.
when we have the mountains We have
few mountain sports simply because we
have never created them, or established
traditions around Them. And we try to
build gymnasiums for winter basket ball,
the most pernicious game of all, when
we have perfect Norway for the sports
that were made for winter. Compare
snowshoe racing, ski jumping and ice
hockey with basket ball and the indoor
track meet, and the comparison is any
thing but favorable to the latter. The
larger schools have not these advantages
and wish they had them. We have them
and have just made our first start toward
making t he hest use of them.
The "PatLfinders' became this week
a regular branch of the Green Mountain
Club, at the special invitation of Presi
dent Taylor of that organization. They
are the first school organization in the
state to take this step. Moreover, Mr..
Taylor, with DR.. Louis j. Paris and
some other Burlington men, is to act as
an official at the meet.
The itinerary is as follows: The boys,
accompanied by Warren Annis and
Principal Davis, will camp on Thursday
night at the Lake. Friday will be spent
in making permanent camp at that
place, improving trails, and in making
repairs generally. On Saturday the " for
est meet" with Stowe High School will
be held, and it is hoped that the Stowe
people will remain in camp over Sunday.
Devotional services will be held Sunday |
The boys will start for Steil-
ing Mountain early Monday morning and
will reach johnson before night. 1t j.
now expected that large parry of John
son people will meet the boys on the |
summit of Sterling for the return trip.
The class in Debating and the boys sec
ton of the class in Photography will !
meet as usual on the trip, No school |
time will be lost on the whole trip, the |
time being taken from the vacation per-
iods, as planned in the original calender
for the year. No boy who is not in good
standing in his studies will be allowed |
to go.
The boys deserve a hearty send-off |
Thursday morning. The venture, we'll
conducted, will be great thing for the
school. There's nothing like the noun
aims for making men.
