I The pretty fancy of dyed eggs I came from Scandinavia where ! lighting bonfires and candles was I part of the Easter ceremonies in j tended.'to represent thejreturn of j the warmth of the sun to the i earth and the gay colors of the 1 eggs symbolized the rays of the life-giving sun. We are indebted to France for the legend; of the rabbit who lays the,'. wonderful ! eggs and that country propably got it from Germany, who bor rowed it in turn from Egypt, or India for in the oldest records of j the oldest nations we find traces ; of these legends of the rabbits "and the eces. One story con nects the rabbit with the Easter moon because rabbits are born with their eyes open and were supposed never; to close them, thus "watching all night" like the full moon. In Catholic coun tries, France, Italy and Spain, Easter is celebrated with gor geous religious processions, all the priests in magnificent probes of satin and velvet and rare lace, all the churches decorated with tapestries and banners and fresh flowers, and the jewelled vessels of fabulous beauty and cost are displayed. Japan too, celebrates its Easter, also Siam and the far isles of the sea, exchanging gifts of eggs and flowers and chanting hymns in praise of the, fertility of the Earthy giving them fresh food after the long winter of deprivation. All down the centuries these legends came, symbolizing death and resurrec tion until all was fulfilled by our Lord, gathering unto Himself the vague beliefs and hopes land longings of the human heart, fiivine point and meaninglto the savage dances under the glory of the African moon and the bon fires on the northern hills, and proclaiming to a bundlyj wor shipping;world, "I am the resur- otners rejoice rules of Lent are over and they can begin to take a livelier interest in bridge parties and dances. Some say "What IS Easter anyhow and why doesn't it come on the same enough to hoar the Icacher, there is a never ceasing and an irritating noise, which makes it verj had for the pupil to cone titrate 011 his work. It is indeed difficult to do justice 10 your work when there is anything to keep you frpni f-'iviii? your whole attention to stud; . We are also very crowded. The rooms are so small that they can hardly hold a grade. hen the 9th grade pupils have math they change rooms with the 10th grade. The 9th grade room is so small and there are so many pupils in the class that they have to go to a larger room. This takes up a part of their A'i minutes period and they cannot get as much work done as they could if the) didn't have to move from one place to anotner. men some of the rooms have only one window. This makes the light so had that they have to burn lights till day w hich i very tiresome for the eyes. A fourth reason is trial we have no place for recreation. We have to march up to the other school Dunn ing for recess and chapel. We only have two 1" minute recesses, and by the time we get ready to go and then go, a large portion of our time is spent. Then for these four rea sons we see that the High school cannot make very much progress without a new building. 1. The nois hinders the pupil in his work. 2. The dark rooms, cause injury If) the eyes. The poor heating system caus es loss of time. . There Is no place of recreation. We, the pupils of the Rocking ham High school, think that Hie pen pie of the tow n ought to feel respon sible for these had conditions. With prosperous little tow n that we? e, it seems to us that there is no reason why we should not have better conditions. We hope, that by the next term the people of our town will see that we have a new and up-to-date High school building. llv JULIA MOURICE. "Where Are You Going?" "Where are you going, my pretty maid? I'm going to high school, Sir, she said. How do you get there, my pretty maid? Just climb these dark stairs, Sir, she said. And do you keep cool there, my pretty maid? With an electric fan, yes Sir, she saic'. Are there no windows, my pretty maid? There's only one in our rooms, she said. Then how do you study, my pretty maid? By an electric light, slip said. You need a new building, my pretty maid. Indeed, yes Sir, we do, she said. And how will you get it, my pretty maid? By the vote of the people, most assur edly, she said." Ernestine Tarkington. IN WIEMORIAM. In sad but loving memory of my dear husband, Mr. John W. Lassi ter, who died January1 17th, 1921, Johnnie, thy gentle voice is hushed. Thy warm, true heart is still, And on thy pale face is resting Death's cold chill. No more your kind and loving face Shall lighten the gloom at our home, Yet in Heaven you are waiting Till my task on earth is done, Where we Will meet to part no more, Where no pain and grief can enter, You are sleeping, gently sleeping, While we are in sorrow. But we will meet again in Heaven Some sweet day by and by. MRS. JOHN W. 1.ASSITV.R.
