able morals; his mother was a reward f ° r o^same.
Scotch heiress, passionate and un
balanced. His father deserted his
wife after squandering her for
tune; and the boy was brought up
by the mother who “alternately
petted and abused” him. When he
was 11 years old his granduncle
left him heir to Newstead Abbey
and to the baronial title of one of
the oldest houses in England. He
was. handsome; and a lameness re
sulting from a deformed foot lent
a suggestion of pathos to his make
up. Naturally he was generous,
and easily led by affection.
When in schdol at Harrow,"and
in the university at Cambridge By 5
ron led an unbalanced life, and
ore given to .certain sports
Which he was not debarred by
lameness, than to books and study,
dcott describes him as “a man of
real goodness of heart, and the
kindest and best feelings, miserably
thrown away by his foolish con-
teznpt of public opinion.” While at
Caqibridge, Byron published his
first volume of poems, .“Hours of
Idleness,” in 1807. There was sev
ere criticism of the volume ip the
“Endinburgh Teview," which
wounded Byron’s vanity. His two
favorite books were the Old Testa
ment and a volume of Pope’s poet
ry. Of the latter he says, “His is
file greatest name in poetry—all
the rest are barbarians.”
In 1809 Byron, when only twen-
ty-one, started on a tour of Europe
and the Orient. The poetic results
bf this trip were the first two can
tos of “Childe Harold's Prilgrim-
age,” with their famous descrip
tions of romantic scenery. This
work made him instantly popular
and his fame overshadowed Scott’s.
As he himself says, ‘T awoke one
morning to find myself famous,”
and presently he styles himself
“the grand Napoleon of the realms
of rhyme.” The worst element in
Byton at this time was his insin-
oerity, his continual posing as the
hero of his poetry. His best works
were translated, and his fame
spread almost as rapidly on the
continent as England.
Some of Byron’s works are:
“Manfred” and “Cain.” parody of
Faust, and of Paradise Lost, are
tv o best known dra-inatic works.
The best known and most readable
of Byron’s works are “Mazeppa,”
“The Prisoner of Chillon,” and
“Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage.” The
.first two cantos of “Childe Harold”
<1882) were written after his. exile

LAST WORDS.
Now that the time is nearing
commencement all of the Seniors,
more or less, are very busy. There
are mqny things that have to be
decided upon, such as graduation
clothes; Besides this, the class
poem, will, history, etc, have to be
written. Too, another great prob
lem is a tune for the class song.
A senior privilege this year is the
exemption from examinations on
any subject that you make an av
erage of 90 on for the last sem
ester. We appreciate this privilege
vei^ much and I’m sure each boy
and girl in the Senior class is try
ing to take advantage of It?
It’s true that every day there
comes to each of us a new duty to
complete in our school work. But,
Seniors, just think, every day is
taking us farther away from the
school that is ours; the school
where we have stuck together all
these years, and the school that
we’ll always love best. When will
we ever sing again that song—
“Come on McCormick Hi let’s fall
in line,” and put the same meaning
into it.
What is each of us doing to help
this school we love so much? Am
£ doing my part? Are you doing
yours? This we will have to an
swer individually but let’s try and
realize this before it’s too late.
Just the same we can all sing—
Where ever we go,
What ever we do,

ATTENTION, EVERYBODY!
Do you like the Irish? And can
you imagin') Ireland and China to
gether? That is just what hap
pens in “Cinderella O’Reilly,” the
play which the Seniors have just
fce^un work on. Little Maggie
O’Reilly and Chang Fu are the best
of friends. Chang Fu indoed proves
himself to be a friend in need
when he helps Maggie and Granny
in their plot to win the Author
Man, Forrest Arnold, away from
th£ wealthy and haughty Judith
Bohne.
- There aro all sorts of things in
store for you on the night of May
30. There is an airplane crash
which nearly puts an end to the
existence of the author and his
friend, Jimsy Brayden, much to
the horror of Maggie, who sadly
tells Judith, “The Author Man is
dead and so you can’t have him
for dinner.” And then there is
almost a fight between Jimsy and
Willard Wood, who has social posi
tion but not money! And the scene
of the whole play is in a garden.
Finally, to make the title true, lit
tle orphan Maggie O’Reilly is
transformed into . a veritable
Princess Cinderella.
The cast, which has been chosen
with much care, is as follows:
Chang Fu — John Wesley Jennings
Granny Bohne Elsie Durham
Judith Bohne Louise Walker
Willard Wood — Emory Bentley
Maggie O’Reilly — Louise Remsen
Gene Trayne Nina Edmonds

JUNIOR PLAY A SUCCESS.
On Thursday night, May 1st, the
Junior class of McCormick High
School gave an interesting play en
titled, “Apple Blossom Time.”
The scene was laid in the home
of the Forrests in the village of
Benton. In this home there lived
the care taker of Tad Forrest’s
home, Polly Biddle, also Betty Ann
Stewart, the niece of Tad Forrest.
A stunning girl Nancy Prescott,
was a pretty neighbor of the For
rests.
Cal Pickens, the village con
stable, was always on duty.
Charlie Laurence, a go-getter
friend of Bob Matthews, was in
love with Nancy.
Bob Matthews, the hero, an un
willing visitor at the crossroads,
was supposed to be guardian over
Betty Ann.
Betty Ann Stewart, the heroine,
a human, little whirlwind was al
ways trying to boss Bob.
Mrs. Forrest, the haughty sister-
in-law of Tad Forrest, thought she
was going to receive the property
and household of Tad Forrest.
Lorretta Harris, the prettiest girl
in the village was always trying to
vamp all the new boys, especially
Bob.
Mickey McGuire and Spud Mc-
Closky, the two Irish friends of
Betty Ann from Sunshine Alley,
were good companions. Through
out the play Mickey continually
interferred with Spud’s love mak
ing to Malvina Kurtz, whose am
bition was to have a beau, and who
finally captured Spud McClosky.
Annabel Spriggins, the silliest old
maid in the village was trying to
rope in a husband.
Polly Biddle, the little spit fire,
was always trying to sit on Cal,
our dignified Constable. Cal, Pol
ly's admirer, was always interrup
ted by Polly’s sarcastic remarks.
At the end Mrs. Forrest was told
by Charlie Laurence that Tad For
rest who took the name of Jim i
Forrest was not dead as reported
but was in a tight pinch and man- i
aged to pull through and had
made a new will which gave Betty
Ann the estate.
As the curtain fell the engage
ments of the three ccuples- Betty
Ann Stewart and Bob Matthews,
Polly Biddle and Cal Pickens, Mal
vina Kurtz and Spud McClosky
REV. LEON T. PRESSLY GIVES
INTERESTING TALK.
Mr. Pressly has just returned
from a convention in Virginia.
He discussed prayers that were
answered and prayers that were
not answered. He read some scrip
ture to prove why some prayers
are answered. There is a time to
pray and there are things to pray
for.
Rev. Pressly impressed on us the
need of prayer and results of pray

Diseases
Adults can, and do, contract many
children’s diseases. And, usually, they
Buffer from them much more than
children do. For instance, many adults
contract worms, an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expen
sive medical treatments, without reali
zing that worms are the cause of their
less sleep, itching of the nose and anus,
and abdominal pains. And, the samo
medicine that surely and harmlessly ex

will do the same for adults — White’s
