We OLD TIME PARTY.

Speaking of the all around good
times which we have enjoyed this
year, none will stand out SO prom
inently in the minds eye as the
colonial party given by the fresh
man class in honor of the graduates
last Tuesday afternoon. and we re-
jOice in the fact that the sOphOmOres
have at last found their peers in the
art of entertaining. The costumes
were striking and varied from laven-
der and black to blue and gold. The
party began at o'clock with the
dancing Of the minuet in the high
school rooms, which had been thrown
together and deliberately decorated
with flags and red, white and blue
streamers. The steamers fastened TO
the walls and drawn to the chande-
lier in the center of the room formed
a canopy over the room, while large
flags Curtained the doors and win
dOws. Following the minuet there
was a program of dances after which
dainty refreshments were served in
the recreation room, which was dec

HONORABLE MENTION.

Ii is evident that fresh air is good
for us for several useful reasons. The
greatest is to have our body supplied
with oxygen, and to breathe plenty
of pure air and less OF impure air.
We should also provide air that can
carry off dust. nOxious gases and
moisture. The body needs food. cloth
ing. bathing and drink, bat none of
these wants are SO pressing as that
for air. The other demands may be
met by occasional supplies, but air
must be furnished every moment or
we die. No tonic will so invigorate
as a few full, deep breaths OF cold,
pure air. Air is the best medicine
God could give. so We should use il
and not be shut up in warm room
or sleeping with your windows down.

FIFTH PRIZE.

BY Oscar johnson, COlfax school.
No one can live we'll or long with
out good. fresh air. The oxygen that
is in the air is the best and we must
breathe it day and night not to be
taken in sparingly as if it were a
dangerous pOsiOn. Some people are
afraid OF fresh air. 1t helps you to
live we'll. If you are sick with con-
sumption, sleep out doors where you
get plenty of air that has plenty of
oxygen in it, They should not be
afraid of draughts, that is, currents
of the air. Fresh air helps you to
live well, TO cure consumption

HONORABLE MENTION.
BY Lucille Witamycr. 1T. Joseph's
Academy.

Fresh air is very necessary To man
and animal. If it were not for fresh
air we could not live. If we were
TO go into a house where the win
dOws are closed. it is unhealthy and
seems very warm, but a room where
the windows are opened always seems
very cool. although the temperature
is the same. That is because in the
unhealthy room we breathe the same
air which is impure and that makes
the lungs weak, but in a fresh air
room we throw out the impure and
breathe in the pure. We should al
ways breathe through our nose, as in
the nose there are little hairs TO
catch the dirt and germs and pre-
vent them from going TO the lungs
but breathing through the mouth the
impure air goes straight to the lungs.

HONORABLE MENTION.

BY William Jackson. MuesSel school.
Fresh air is good for you because
il prevents disease.
But when YOU stay in one room all
the time. you breathe all the oxygen
out and there is nothing left but
nitrogen. and the people who stay IN
the house all the time are not SO
strong as the ones who stay out doors
most OF the time. and therefore fresh
air makes you strong.
If YOU don't have fresh air you
don't breathe enough oxygen, but a
large amount OF nitrogen.
II you sleep in a room where the
window is not open YOU will catch a
cold. so fresh air prevents colds.

There are two very important rea-
sons why we need fresh air. First
we need fresh air to supply us with
oxygen and second 10 carry off all
dust and poisonous gases. If we did
not have fresh air we could not live
If great many people were in a
room breathing over and over the
same air it becomes very poisonous.
People that almost live out of doors
are most always healthier than those
living in doors. People that have
colds all the time think it is caused
by too much fresh air, but they are
mistaken, as they probably caught
them by staying in heated rooms
where there was no fresh air.

SECOND PRIZE.
by Catharine Zeiger, st. JOseph's
Academy.

We require fresh air as well as we
require food
II is very important that we learn
about fresh air and how we can
ventilate our homes. school room,
work shops and public places So that
we shall be breathing fresh air all
the time.
In the first place we breathe the
fresh air into our lungs and the OXy-
gen that is in the air purifes the
blood which flows through our veins.
The more fresh air we breathe the
more robust we become So il is
easy to see the difference between a
person that is in the fresh air and
one who stays in doors all the time.
Children are more seriously af-
flicted by impure air than grown
people are.
Plants like people have to have
fresh air or they could not live. Con
sequently without fresh air nothing
could live.
