CARIBBEAN.
Beneath the palms on Caribbean's shore,
Scarce nine degrees from the equator's line,
Where trade winds blow, and tropic sun doth shine
With sultry heat, and where, in the days of yore,
Adventurous Spanish gallants did explore
And fall a prey to Morgan's bold design,
Where now the Stars and Stripes wave as the sign
That we have oped to Orient ports the door,
There stands a spacious building which doth hold
A band of people who do strive to learn
That which will lead them upward in life's way.
Desire-that we the best may e'er uphold,
That we may live and learn as well as earn

his basket-ball dream and finished his assignment
in time to assure himself of an excellent report.
As Jimmie tripped into the first freshman class
of the year, tardy, he drew a laugh from his fellow

tratlons for which the following slogan will
ply our text:

Then chew it.

The turmoil of passing classes subsided.
students.
This inspired him to act the clown the
rest of his high school career.
It is true he had
passing marks, but he lacked the beneficial learn-
ing he should have gained from his four years' work.
His diploma without the foundation of knowledge
was almost worthless in seeking employment.
Henry had a clear voice but his debates were
uninteresting because he read them.
The cap-
tain of the debating team was absent and Henry
was the one chosen to speak in his place.
He tried
the classes, recitations began.
All were quiet in
at first to resign.
His doubt turned into deter-
the assembly room excepting Willie who shuffled
to the sharpener, sharpened his pencil, and tested
the point several times.
He settled in his seat,
but was up on the thought of an announcement
he should write on the blackboard.
He wasted
time putting unnecessary artistic touches to his
almost unreadable fancy letters.
He was about
to sit down and get busy when he found a Literary
Digest, in which he scanned the pictures and read
many
advertisements.
He laid the
magazine
aside to prepare his necessary class report, but
a shudder ran through him when he found he had
but three minutes to get his material from the en-
cyclopedia from which it takes so long to bring out
information in proper form.
As a result,
Willie
felt ashamed for having delayed his whole class.
The next day he came to school determined to
stick by a slogan he had read the previous eve-
ning. The first period classes had passed as usual
and Willie was in the assembly room taking notes

mination when he finished reading the same slogan
which we have already quoted, and he was soon
busy gathering material for his side of the sub-
ject. On the day of the debate he was nervous
but gritted his teeth, took his place before the
assembly, and delivered a talk which convinced
even his opponents that his stand on the subject
was the correct one.
Every fellow on the basket-ball team feels better
over a hard-fought defeat than an easily-won vic-
tory, when they have done what they felt was
more than
could do.
When
the boys of
C.H. S. basket-ball team accepted the challenge
of the U. S. S. Denver heavies, they planned for
more than they thought they could do, they did
it, and as a result, brought another victory to
their school.
In activities held at the school during the year,
many who at first remained silent and unknown

Ther iz a tal and slender Senior boy
Whom some clep Baldy, others name Leroy.
His hair is brown; it hides hise eyen greye
Carefree he is and happy night and daye;
He loves to sing, and also to beat time.
By buying chewing gum with every dime,
He keeps supplied with that which breaks the riwle
So firmly maad by teachers of the school.
"The Chandler" hight his faithful auto steed
In which he loves to "birn the road" with speed.
He dances wel with proud high stepping gate,
In school athletics he is upp to date.
On studying is not set ful moche his leste,
But of trew loyall friends he is the best.
-1922.
His face is red, and bright, and rather plump;
For sports we find him always on the jump,
In height tho he can reach but to the average
Full military, straight is hise carriage.
No pleasure finds he in the dance's whirl-
Methinks perhaps the reason is a girl!
Fall well he likes to ride a gentle horse,
But never walks he-eek a small golf course.
Quiet is he when it is time to be-
But talking all the other time is he.
He scolds himself in language goodly strong;
Neer will he lead to start of any wrong.
But sum him up and take him as a whole,
A warm place in our hearts sure he doth hold.

As the Alumni of Cristobal High School grad-

same pride and loyalty for their old school and
the same joy in remembering the past.
The old
days are summed up in a little poem written by
a member of the Class of 1920, Kenneth Green.
"One year and better," did you say?
Why, friend, 'twas only yesterday.
There's Minot in his place of yore,

There's Catherine, Susie, Lula, Bourke,

Seriousness still worked over Physics even during

A questionnaire was handed each of them as they

History's new shoes of unfair answers.
Physics and English came plugging along with
Physics somewhat in the lead. They both leaped

finish line of qualification for advanced series of
new subjects.
Cheat was humiliated and as a

We approach the Mindi dairy which belongs
to the Government and supplies the Atlantic side

Adjoining the dairy are large
pastures in which we see the Holstein and Guernsey
cows which the Government has imported from

We pass Mount Hope filtration

Running beside the river, we see a dark knotty

the bushes. Warner thinks it will be a fine skin
if he can only get it; so, asking the driver to stop,
he jumps off, but by this time our friend Monsieur
Snap Alligator has left for a more healthful place.
One of the familiar characters of this trip is the
negro, pushing his three-wheeled cart loaded with
grass, who stops to blow his whistle at every car
that passes him.

the unpleasant episode with the book agent, in
the anticipation of a good dinner and a quiet
evening with his wife.
Two hours later, Jones, in slippers and comfort-

The benefits of such an organization have already

The organization is striving to broaden

honor letters for athletic work, and promote in-
