Our happy school days have passed like a fleeting dream, .but they
shall be treasured in our memories with the relies of our past glory. It is
with the greales love that we look back upon our four years of High School
life. How endearing the association! How ennobling the influences! llow
lofty the inspiration that, has always urged us on!
To-night we h ave the guiding and protecting arm of our beloved
Alma Mater to join that innumerable train, the followers of the fickle God
dess of Fortune. To her guidance and care we yield our lives, our hopes,
our trusts, our all. With awe-inspiring majesty, she holds out her hand to
us, and we, as under her magic spell, follow to our fate.

pupils, who, by their benign attitude towards us, have aided in winning our
sue. • ses. Farewell to our school the object of our devotion and the means
of our delight. And now farewell to each other.
As we join the ever swelling Munini, let it be the prime endeavor of
each one of the Class of I'.IOI fo become an honor and a success to the school
which graduates us to-night, and lo our town.
To all we sav farewell.

MAGNIFICENT TROPHIES
for the
National Guar d
Tiie Philadelphia Inquirer Pres-,
ents Three Valuable Art Bron
zes tor the Best Company,
Troop and Battery.
Much interest has been aroused ; •
mong tin; Slate National Guard by
Llie announcement that three -
lieent bronzes will hi? presented by
rhe Philadelphia Inquirer to the eon
pany, troop and battery earning th •
highest rating for the inspection in
samp at Gettysburg in their reaper-
Live branches of the service—infantry,
•avnlry and artillery.
The Infantry Trophy is a forceful
•reation, in rich bronze, of a Xorimu
ireher, the infantryman of the array
if that day. The pose of the figure
s very striking, the body of the sold
er being inclined as the tense muscles
lraw the barb of the arrow to the
;hin, and the strong neck is bent, to
•nahle the keen eye of the archer to
sight his missile. From the base to
the top of the bow the height of the
ligurc is just 40 inches l'ieire Tour
jueneff, one of the most noted artists
>f the present school, is the author,
ind the careful detail which tin
sculptor has worked into this crea
tion demonstrates that he was thor
oughly imbued with the spirit of his
work.
The same artist has the credit of
modeling the trophy for the cavalry,
'•A Trooper of the Empire." In this,
is in the "Norman Archer, v M.Tonr
has again marked his artistic
perception of pose. The "Trooper
>f the Empire' 1 is one of that magnifi
sent body of cavalry, the Hussars,
ivhom Murat, the "Beau Sabre" of
he First Empire, so gloriously led.
Man and horse are tine conceptions in
repose, and that very repose adds
forcefully to the ensemble. The
igure is on a base seventeen by live
nches and measures twenty inches to
.he top of the Hussar's aigrette.
A search for something apropos
\nd emblematic; for the artillery arm
if the State service brought this
statuette of the great captain himself,
,vho was first and foremost an artill
iryman. M. l'incdo, who has made
i specialty of studies of the first Em
peror of t ho French, and whose noted
Equestrian statue, of Napoleon adonis
he French capital, is the author of
his work. The Great Captain is
shown in his characteristic pose, in
>ne of those moments of meditation
from which sprang forth projects
which changed the map of Europe.
This figure is twenty inches high,
mounted upon an octagonal, rich
rreen marble base, eight by eight
nches, and bearing the imperial "N"
upon its front.
These trophies are to be given iu
the company, troop and battery to
which the inspectors give the highest
rating for appearance, etc , during
the encampment. There are no re
strictions, the trophies being for the
best units of the guard, and it is very
sure that only the best units will win
them. Fuller and further details will
be given in The Sunday Inquirer,
from time to time, until the decision
is rendered. And it must be remem
bered that the decision as to the best
company of infantry, troop of cavalry
and battery of artillery will be made
by the Inspector's Department of the
National Guard of Pennsylvania, of
ficers of tried probity and known im
partiality.
Now it is lor the company, troop
and battery commanders to begin
work. Earnest, intelligent efforts
will bring their commands within
reaching distance of the valuable
prizes. The men, by their attention
to their duties, and their personal ap
pearance and evidence of instruction
unl discipline, will be the factors. So
now to work.

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up irony times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp.Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for Us won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
