1t seems good to see the students 60
ing to school again.
OF last years faculty only the
Misses Turner and Thayer, Mrs. Nc
Culloch and the Messrs. Preston,
Wheeler, Sperling and Tongley are
again teaching.
The new teachers are: Miss Watts,
Griffin, languages; Mr.. Bacon, SCI
ences Mr.. Arbrecht, mathematics, and
Mr. Giffel, who has replaced Mr.. Quill.
The orchestra practiced on Wednes-
day afternoon.
1t is said that Mr. Bacon plays a
saXaphone, violin and banjo. He
should be able to aid the orchestra in
playing dance music at the basket ball
games.
The largest enrolment in the history
of the school is found this year.
The history classes are extremely
large. Mr.. Wheeler finds more stu
dents than desks in all his classes.
Miss Bowman opened the library on
Wednesday. Not many books were is
sued, but the winter is yet to come,
and this means the reading of large
number of books.
Assemblies are to be held on Friday
this year.
The football squad has been in &C
ton since the first day of school.
Coach Tongley is driving the boys, and
it takes lot of driving and practicing
to make a good football team.
There certainly is a fine spirit
shown by the large number Of candi-
dates that are out.
1t is said that Kirmayer is not to
come back to school. ''Fran" is in
position where he could make big
name for himself in New Jersey
scholastic athletics this year This
will give Coach Tongley some work to
develop a center, but I cannot see any
one at the school who can fill Kir-
mayors shoes.
With Kirmayer at center again it
looks like football championship for
Cliffside.
All of last years squad, excepting
Captain Castellano, McCloskey, Cor
riston, Vaughan and Kirmayer, are in
school this year. A number of last
years freshmen who looked promising
are also out for the squad. The best
of these seem to be Stetpa, CannizziO,
Bert De Bar, Murphy, Munde and Will
son, the runner.
Manager Nelson Wicks announces
the first game of the season will be
played with Evanders Childs at the To-
cal field on Saturday, September "a.
Coach Tongley and Nelson Wicks at
tended the meeting of the NJ. n. j. l. T.

At this meeting the league officials
were elected.
Mr.. Burns, principal of the local
school, was made president of the

EDNA.

IF THERE was ever a name with
i out home or country antecedents
or parentage 1t seems to be Edna.
Etymologists record frankly nothing
in the case of Edna. She seems to
have just appeared. Something about
her Is reminiscent Of the Morse and we
can imagine Valkyries or the daugh-
tiers of Vikings bearing such a name,
but history fails to back up our fancy.
It must seem then that Edna came
in some way from the ever popular
masculine Edward. 1t may. indeed,
be a contraction of the feminine form
Edwina. Such being the case, Edna's
ancestress must have been the famous

by the law.
Agreed to Attend Mass Together.
Then some one having authority
suddenly listened to reason. All the
hostile families-the Leporis, the Pes,
the Sea zzus, the Spezzigas and the
Vasas-far more hostile than the Mon
tagues and Capulets, agreed to attend
service of reconciliation together.
Their famous feud has been respon-
sible for no fewer than rs homicides
during the last 10 years. 1t all began
with the murder of Prof. Pier Felice
Stangonl, widower who lectured at
the technical institute Of Sassari.
What he had done is not quite clear.
Some say he had flirted with Miss
Pes and then refused to marry her.
Another story Is that he was unin-
tentionally killed by a mischievous
boy from an unfriendly village. Any
how, tho professor was taking a coun-
try walk with his three boys, Albert,
Mario and Arnold, when some one
lurking in the thickets suddenly hit
him on the forehead with bullet
from catapult and killed him In
stantly.
There was a sensational trial and
the SUSPECTS were acquitted. A few
months later, however one of them,
Martin Pes, was killed. Thereupon
the authorities arrested Professor

a vigorous old man, and he was ac-
Quilted for lack Of evidence. Assas-
sinationS followed with furious rapid
ity. Nicholas Vasa was seriously
wounded one day and killed the next.
Members Of the various families
were found dead in lonely places or
disappeared and We're never seen
again. An immense amount of prop
erty was destroyed. Great numbers
of innocent people went in daily fear
of their lives,
Ceremony Of Reconciliation.
Two hundred members came from
far and near to attend the ceremony
Of reconciliation.
The boys of Temple seminary
walked first In the procession. Then
came Mpnsigor Sauna, bishop of Tenn
pho and Castelsardo, followed by the
parish priest, the mayor with an Ital-
ian flag and an enormous crowd from
the whole countryside. Penitential
hymns were sung and mass was cele-
brated 10 the open air amid deep emo
ton.
Then Father Deligios, famous
Franciscan preacher. spoke Of the
beauty Of Sardinia, the hospitality of
her people, always generous except
when carried away by traditional ha-
treds. He alluded to the IS victims
and Inv bked the blessing and pardon
Of heaven on the survivors.
Then the members of the hostile
families were divided into two long
files and went up side by side to re-
ceiye the episcopal benedictlon. There

Oddly enough, however, the two

The man who had fired the shot

The wounded man took long, de-

The servant came running back, re-

They found the chieftain with his
head resting on the hard pillow af-
