Another playlet, directed by Inez Donahue, was "The Princess and the Pixies", in which we saw very at tractively illustrated the thought that true royalty does not appear in what we wear, or in the name we bear, but in the heart, it is found, and many a true princess goes about her daily tasks among her common folks none guessing that she is royal.

I hear aijuln their stirring cheer And see their banners shine What time the yet unconquered north Pours to the wars her legions forth For many a wrong to strike a blow With mailed hand at Mexico. The volunteers! Ah, where are they Who bade the hostile surges stay When the black forts of Monterey Frowned on their dauntless line Where, undismayed amid the shock Of war, Ilk Cerro Gordo's rock, They stood or rushed more madly on Than tropio tempest o'er San Juan? On Angostura's crowded field Their scattered columns scorned to yield And wildly yet defiance pealed Their flashing batteries' throats And echoed then the rifle crack As deadly as when on the track Of flying foe of yore Its voice Bade Orleans' dark eyed girls rejoice. Blent with the roar of guns and bombs, How grandly Jrom the dim past comes 0m fJ i j ; MONMOUTH Vol. II Monmouth, Ore., Written, Edited and Set in Type by What i. "Monmouth High". On the edge of Willamette Valley Under a changing sky, 1 something of which I'm wondering, You call It "Monmouth High". Men came with saw and hammer liuilt wall and floor and door, Of brick ami wood anil and plaster Where was only ground before. Then came the desks and tables, And books to fill them tlitht Young folk who claimed to read Ihem, And teachers to set them right. And filled these rooms with wisdom, And laughs that bubbled o'er And secrets, on scraps of pApor, And left upon the floor. Those who came first passed onward, For some good reason why, Their places were taken by others, And now it's you and I. All sorts of us here together Making some kind of I try, All claiming our connection With grand old "Monmouth High". But what is this high school, Is the question I'd make light, Can I put my finger on it, And see If it's purple and white? Is it the brick and woodwork! ' That answer from a fool Keep the doors locked tomorrow, And you won't have much of a school! Is It "grails" and previous teachers? They're scattered far and wide, They're gone-It's herelSomy answer Does not In that comer hide. Is it you or I, or together? We're travelers too-It will lastl We're for a day, made of hours Chasing eath other past. Not these-but perhaps all together Good things from a hundred ways, Built slowly and fastened together, The Good-will of many days. I think It took nought of the coward, Who quit before he tried, It must be he left no record, He was just pushed aside. The ftHl ST Their victorious" Drums, Their bugles' Joyous notes, When over Mexico's proud towers And the fair valley's storied bowers, Fit recompense for toll and scars. In triumph waved their Aug of stars. Ah. comrades of your own tried trooo. ! Whoee honor no'er to shame might stoop. ! Of lion heart and eagle swoop. But you alone remain, t On all the rest haa fallen hush Of death, the men whoee battle rush Was wild as sun loosed torrent's flow From Orliaba's crest of snow. The volunteers! The volunteers! Ood send us peace through all our year But If the cloud of war appears We'll see Ihem once sgaln, From broad Ohio's peaceful side, ' From where the Maumee pours Its tide, j Fiom. ncrm LwJ'il Ed.4'1 wJnln.

HIGHWA YS Friday, Jan. 18, 1917 No. 12 Students of Monmouth High School I suppose 'twas the faith of the people In the best thing that they knew, To help make sons and daughters, Into men and woryen true. And everyone who worked here, All real things said and done, Our songs and yells and laughter, And worth-while victories won. So I decided it's something That'll go on many a day, Then, In another form perhaps, It may go on alway. Hut just what- I cannot find It, It must be other that) I If one would answer my question . What Is "Monmouth High"? Written by R.W.Tavenner, The Athena Societyjof the High School will present a play,"Betty Wales Girls, " on Jan.2Uh.
