In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance of our dear
boy Private William A. Tayman, who
departed this life one year ago to-day
at Camp Meade, October 6, 1919.
Our hearts still ache for you,
Your loss we will ever feel,
You bore your suffierings with smiling
cheer,
And left wound that will never heal
We often sit and think of you,
When we are all alone,
For memory is the only thing,
That grief can never call its own.
We did not know the pain you bore;
We did not see you die;
We only know you went away
And never said good-by.
BY his devoted parents, sisters and
| brothers.

Tech High Schools Needs.
, the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The fact that the championship for
woman swimmers of Washington was
won by Katherine Pfeiffer, who is a
pupil of Mckinley High School, has
impelled me to write these lines to
call attention (if possib1e) of the pow
ers that be to the remarkable fact
that Mckinley Technical High School,
even without gymnasium or swim
ming pool. has been able to capture
the championships of track, base ball,
rifle, drill, foot ball (there was no
season this past falD and basket ball.
And now it seems reasonable to claim
that Tech has won the District swim
ming>championship, inasmucif as Miss
Pfeiffer is q Tech pupil and has had
considerable coaching in swimming
from Mr.. Apple, who heads the ath-
letic affairs at Tech. I am writing
this not SO much to cali attention to
Techs achievements as to call atten-
ton to the lamentable fact that with
such splendid fighting spirit, enthusi-
asm and grit, Mckinley High School
is compelled to go without a GYM
nasium and swimming pool which not
only add to the pleasure and efficiency
of the pupils in athletics, but are al
most necessity for sanitary reasons.
