No. 6 THE GOLDTREE. iHE apartment, in which our story commences, looUed very simple and bare. Along the white-washed walls, whose only adornment consisted in a few old maps yellow with agfe;-there stood two nar row beds, a book shelf, and a wardrobe, on which a globe had found a resting place. A long table, adorned with many ink spots occupied the middle of the room, and two boy^s of about twelve years, sat on hard chairs by the table, The boy with light hair brooded over a difficult passage of Cornelius o e Neposand with many a sigh thun^bed the heavy dictionary; the lad with brown locks, however, was striving earnestly to extract the cube root of o a number of nine figures. The name of our philologist was John, that w of the.mathematician, Henry. <1 At times the boys raised their heads and looked long-ingly towards the open window, through which the flies, humming and buzzing, flew in and out. In the garden the golden sunshine lay upon the trees and o >-( hedges, and how scornfully a blooming lilac bush looked into the study of our two hopefuls. Still another hour would the poor boys be obliged K to sit and sweat, before they would be allowed to go out into the open Oh air and the minutes crept along like the snails on the gooseberry bushes out of doors in the garden. An arbitrary shortening of the study hour was not to be thought of, for in the next room, seated at a writing table was the Doctor Schlagentzwei, (Beat- em-in-two) to whom the boys had been entrusted for their moral and intellectual advancement. The con necting door stood open, so that the Doctor could convince himself at all times of tfie presence of his charges and watch over their behavior. ''Hannibal could have done something more sensible than to have crossed the Alps," muttered John, and "Ninetimes 81 is 729," grumbled Henry with a low voice. Then they both looked upfrom their work, look ed at each other and yawned. Suddenly they heard a loud buzzipg. A goldTbeetle, which may ha^ve been sitting on the lilac bush out of doors, had stra,yed into the room. He wheeled about three times in a circle around the boys' heads and then—splash! he lay in the ink well.

Those of our readers who attended the inter-society debate a few, weeks ago have seen substantial proof of the progress the Club has made! Six boys from each society were chosen to meet ina preliminary contest, the three best of each society to form a team to compete with the oppo sing society. Those chosen from Pierian Society were Fred Woodruff, Arthur McGuire, and Harry Fair, while the Castalian cause was upheld by Vincil Brassfield, Harry Daugherty, and Donald McVay. Agreatdeal of friendly rivalry exists between the two societies audit was clearly manifested in this debate. The debate was held intheLibrary Hall, the hall being decorated with the colors of the two societies. The rio-ht 'side of the room was adorned with the old gold and black, and was occupied by the Pierian section of the school, while the Castalians held the oppo- side of the house which was decorated in old gold and blue. A jollv crowd of rooters from each society vied with oneanotheringivingyells and in encouraging the debaters. The question, that of "Governmental Ownership of Railways," is one of the live questions of the day and had been given deep and thorough study by the debaters. After a hot and heavy discussion of more than three hours, the debate closed and the de em,on was reiidered in favor of the Castalian team. Since this was the fi.-st debate which the Castalians had won for several years, as might be expec ed there was a very noisy demonstration of joy on the part of the Castalian rooters, which was answered by the equally strong cheers of the Pienans, who, notwithstanding their crushing defeat, loyally upheld their team and bravely faced defeat. No descrip\ion can do justice to the spirit manifested by either. No other work in school serves so well to knit the student bod3^ together in a common bond of sympath3', do these competitive debates, while for those engaged in them, they give an ability for quick thinking, graceful expression, and ease of manner in public speaking, that will in later years become the most useful talent they can have. It is by such practice and training as is given by debate that one becomes skilled in the effective use of his mother tongue. As Bacon says, "It is good in discourse and speech of conversation to vary and intermingle speech of the present occasion with arguments, tales with reason, asking of questions with telling of opinions and jest with earnest." Debaters have had both power and reputation and th importance of such work has been recognized ever sinr^ of "Nestor, the Master of persuasive speech." "The clear toned Pylian orator, whose tongue dropped words m sweet than honey." more Andits importance is continually growing more marked as civil' tion and culture increase and for this reason the work of thf^ r\ / club should be supported by all.

Prior to this, literary exercises had been held at the High Schoo], morning's, but, as the students grew more interested, Frida}- afternoon of each weelc was g-iven them. The teachers, Mr. Bainter, Mr. DuBois andMiss Nailor, were great ly interested in the students' welfare and soon found a plan for estab lishing two societies. Then began the friendly rivalrt'^ which still exists. Committees were appointed and work was begun for the organizing of the best society that ever existed in the Trenton High School. The committee on selecting a name, finally chose, from a long list, the name "Castalian." This was suggested by Anna Pelton whose mother had belonged to a Castalian society in the University of Wiscon sin. The name decided upon, the colors, blue and gold, were selected and the first banner to flaunt these colors \vaspainted by Miss Bessie Hershe. The motto: ''Aniini cultus humitatis aibiis', was chosen and a con stitution drawn up by Nellie Carnes, Michael Welz and Donald Baker and adopted by the society. The first officers were: Michael Wolz, president; Katie Conrad vice president; Nellie Carnes, secretarj^; H. J. Bain, treasurer. The mostinteresting event in the early history of the Castalian so ciety was a mock trial in which the different members took part. Charles Robinson was tried for playing keeps on the play-ground. Among the lawyers were; Clifford Dn Bois and H. J. Bain, each of whom made creditable speeches. Miss Ida Lilly, now teaching the eighth grade, acted as judge. The first play presented by the society was in 1900, entitled, "A Family Quarrel." Since then the plays produced have been as follow^s: "The Merchant of Venice," "Media," and "The Harvest.', The society was very enthuiastic in its early work, although notas muchattention was paid to music as now. Theirliterary numbers wereof unquestionable merit. The spirit of the society has aWays been for the advancment of its work and its progress is remarkable in every waj^ In no line is it more evident than in debates, in the Inter-society debate of April 28.

PIERIAN SOCIETY NOTES. Allegero-g-ero-g-erans! Ki-Yip, Ki-Yip! Pierians! Pierians! have now closed a year that has been filled with g-ood fortunes and defeats. And looking- back over the past nine months we cannot help but be proud of our society. 'Tis true we have not been successful in everything-, but by these failures we have improved, So that we are now on a firmer basis than ever before. '>Ct". . '>«5 i However now that the vacation days have come it is impossible not » to feel a ting-e of sorrow, for are we not losing- a Senior class that has always been true and loyal to its society. Prom this point of view we are filled with sorrow, but from another we are filled with pride, for we are sending- out over three times as may graduates as the Castalians. The following- Pierians g-raduate this year. Pred Woodruff ) Our orators and debaters, who undoubtedly Arthur McGuire )• will win a prominent place for themselves in the Winsor Howland ) world. In their society as well as in their class room they have proven that they arealways ready to do their part. May they fill their places in life as they have in their society. Tom Cook—The best athletic in the Hig-h School. No doubt he will ^•" in days to come win g-reat renown upon the girdiron. Howard Haniia—Our cheerful boy. We have no fear but what he will get along alright in this world, for who can resists Mark's sunny smile? Carrie Pancoast ) The former the Valedictorian, -the latter the Beulah Lowen f Salutatorian of the Senior class, we take great pride in carrying off the highest honors of the Senior class this year as , Vjb we have in the past. V Mamie Daniels ) . < • Alice Hanna [• Apoet, novelist, and essayist. Bernice Lowen ) As we send forth this year orators, debaters, athletics, novelists, >5' •"• poets, essayists, and the Valedictorian and Salutatorian of the class of 1905 it seems after all that we have come out ahead. But the outlook in the future is brighter than it has been in the past for we have a Junior class that will ably and willing'ly take the burden of <1. the Society upon their shoulders. Also we have a Preshraan class that is not only the largest but has the most talent of any class that has ever entered the High School. We are now in such a condition that no doubt we will in the coming year raise the old ''Gold and Black" to the pin nacle of its fame. , i •?. • -•'XW. •: The Pierians this year play "A Woman's Honor," a story of intense dramatic action, thrilling climaxes, uproarious comedy, and of absorb ing romantic interest.

The class of '05 have selected their class pins, which are very unique. Misses "Lela Schooler and Ang-ie Elder attended the graduating ex ercises at Gait, April 29th. Miss Grace Humphrey, one of the graduates of Gait accompanied Miss Leona Pratt home for a short visit. The junior class entertained the senior class at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Day, on West Prospect street, May 12th. Ora McRae and Clyde Arnold of the class of '07, have decided to graduate with the class of '06, by taking several subjects at the college this summer. Saturday night, April 22nd, witnessed the last of the Hawthorne lec tures, given by Dr. Fruit at the Library Hall, under the auspices of William Jewell college. The night after the senior reception, Arthur McGuire, in his sleep was heard going over some of his Latin, something like this: "Viciss- em, Vicissem, lubet Vicissem." Mr. Ford: "Give scientific name of cat; make your answer complete" Merritt Rice: "The scientific name of cat is Phyntothelinasticares- tana Gnathomractardsmpxonstra." Miss Conwa}': "Define and give etymology of equinox." Clyde Arnold: "Equi is the Latin word meaning horse, and nox is the Latin word for night, thei'efore, equinox means nightmare." Miss Conway chaperoned a crowd af fourteen high school pupils to Columbia, May 5th. They were all very much taken with the university. We hope this will inspire our boys to organize an athletic club. The university men spared neither time nor trouble to entertain our boj's and girls, for which we are very grateful. We hope some day to have an op portunity to repay their kindness. The class of '05 at their meeting elected the following officers: President, Arthur McGuire. Vice President, Alice Hanna. Secretary, Mamie Daniels. Treasurer, Carrie Pancoast.
