One of the most enterprising organizations of our scchool is the Girls' Glee Club, which since its infancy, three years ago, has grown to be a well trained chorus. About twenty-four members compose this chorus and the parts are divided into first and second alto and first and second soprano, making very well balanced harmony.

One of the most enjoyable events of the winter was the concert given November 28th, by the Glee Club, which consisted of choruses by the Club, vocal and piano solos, readings, pianologues and double quartettes. We worked long and hard on the concert but felt amply repaid for our efforts by the hearty reception given it.

Many times during the past years we have furnished sweet music for various gatherings and hope to dc so in the future. We have been practicing for some time on the selections we intend to give for the Baccalaureate service and commencement exercises this May. Thus far our director, Mrs. Pauline Young has been very well pleased with the results and we hope to leave with everyone this spring a pleasant memory of the vocal ability of the Glee Club.

The Symbol The Home Road

THE SYMBOL THE HOME ROAD I linger on the lonely road tod: T>e golden sun is sinking in splendor in the west, Beside the wooden bridge wh re creep'ng behind the hills to 'The distant trees loom dark ab Across a dreaming landscape pale and gray, My joyous feet a And darkening shadows on the hillsides play the best, The sky is dull and clouds are sailing low, Pown the home road, the one road for me But fresh from wintry hills the wind doth blow, And only memories of Spring do stay, Eut look, across the sky one crimson beam Yet lingers in the west, to warm and cheer The fields of earth so desolate and drear But here beside this littl A bit of Maytime's waiting even now Small swelling buds upon a willow bough!

"The enrollment of the school proved so large this year when school opened September 7, 1926, that it was necessary to take the first and part of the second grades to a separate building. The fifth grade was also divided, The attendance in tho seventh and eighth grade room was so large that, at the beginning of the second semester an extra teacher was secured,

Manual tralning was added to the curriculum this year. A building which was formerly a garage was converted into a workshop and has proved very satisfactory to the boys of the school,

'The first high school party was held the latter part of September, It was to be a welner roast but "J, Pluvius" chose to favor us with a shower that evening the "dogs" were transported to the Methodist church parlors, where we all demonstrated our ability ax packers.

A Hallowe'en Masquerade was staged in the K. of P, Hall the 29th of October. After the grand march costume priges were given, games played, refreshments served and a general good time en- Joyod.

Several class parties have. been held during the year, One of especial interest was a surprise party given, in honor of our principal, who has changed her name from Miss Wineklemann to Mrs. Burns, by the Junior Class and Faculty, Besides a miscellaneous shower of kitchen utensils, she recolved an electric table lamp from the Junior Class and an electric percolator from the faculty.

Four numbers of the lecture course have been presented and the fifth is in preparation. It will be the Senior Play, The previous numbers were ns follows: "The Griswold Duo, Theodore Knox Concert Company, Brush the Great, and Glenn Morris, the scientific lecturer.

"The school had two contestants in the district Literary Musical Contest. The contestant for vocal solo, Miss Evelyn Dick, won second place in the district.

On January 25, the Junior and Senior High School attended the Farmers Institute in the Town Hal. A very pleasing talk on "Selecting Your Life Work" was given by Mr, E. A. Flemming. The Boys' and Girls' Clubs contributed several songs.

Our school now has a good orchestra but wo are sorry that so many of its members are Seniors. However, we have hope that the work of Mr, Wilcox, who comes back to instruct pupils in the playing of various instruments, has not been in vain and that we will have new members next year,

Our school recently entered the Lincoln Oratorical Contest and for two weeks "Lincoln" was the popular topic of all conversation. On Monday, March 7, the orations were delivered and the medal was presented to Miss Gladys Frees,

Some events which the future will soon mold are: Activities of the baseball season, Senior Play, Junior-Senior banquet, track, commencement and vacation.

The football team had a fairly successful senson. The results of the season are given below Mantua ~ 0 Windham a. Ravenna Twp. 25 Windham... Garrettsville 33

Mrs, M. L. Burns

Are the graduating classes of today taking all the advantages of learning that are offered them or do they intend to pass them by without making an attempt for a higher goal?

With this question before me I stop to look over the progress of my fellow classmates, and wonder if we have made the best of our training, or have fallen back into the old rut,

Out of eleven graduates, six have started to college, one of which is now teaching school. Two are working to secure funds enough to go through college, is a progressive farmer, while one has a trend to travel and see this grand country of ours. The other is studying to be an accountant.

The eleventh annual Literary-Musical Contest of the Portage County Schools was held in Ravenna on Saturday evening, December 11, 1926. TI am as outlined below was enjoyed by a la nts and friends

The contest committee - W. R. Root, chairman, Miss C Johnson, and G. H. Donaldson - ha made three major changes in the contest rulos for this year. The extemporaneous speeches were omitted. »The county schools were divided into two classes, as in athletics, and the schools re-districtod, the Class A schools being divided into three groups, and the Class B schools into two, Each of these groups held district contests about one week previous to the county contest, the winners coming to Ravenna for the finals. Appropriately engraved silver medals were awarded to the fortunate vietors

Although the 1926-27 contest revealed careful training and talent of a high order, a plan has been evolved that is expected to arouse more general interest in public speaking in the local schools, and thus cause still more vigorous competition for the honors to be won at these contests.

This spring, in connection with high school English classes, an oration project was conducted. Next fall, study and practice in declamation will be featured.

We believe that both parents and pupils recognize the practical as well as the cultural value of such s, and that these projects, as well as future ts, will receive hearty support.

I Believe In Man

"Here is the Church - her shining white beauty bespattered and dragged low by the ugly quarrels of her own servants. Religious intolerance will not get the world ahead!

"There - see the rich man on the field and the poor man facing him with sword in hand, Labor and Capital at each other's throats in this, our twentieth century of progress!

"Lo! the nations of the world, each frantically strengthening its barriers against the others, An intelligent world would tear down those barriers of suspicion, contempt, jealousy - and lead forth the peoples of the earth into the open daylight of mutual trust and good will.

"And lastly, turn your gaze and make it pitying you can, upon Man himself. Where is he? - In the council chamber? In the library? In the forum? In the temple? - No! Look for him in the vaults, counting his treasures and greedily calculating future gains. Seek him in the ball-room, in the gardens, and watch him in his mad pursuit of pleasure, Man is excitement-crazed today, and his pleasures cannot be too varied or too constant to satisfy his craving,

"There!" thunders the pessimist, "That is the condition of the world today, And there stands Man, all his possibilities and talents wasted. The end of things lies just ahead and we are speeding toward it fast. You need not go beyond the boundaries of your own country to find these evil doings. Look about, in America, and perceive her course toward ruin,

"Look back of you im history to see a parallel course. Turn your mind to her anclent prototype, Rome, In the beginning Rome was a splendid republic, her citizenry composed of hard-working, thrifty men, of brave and virtuous women, It was a Golden Age of prosperity and simple living. Then crept the serpent into this Latin paradise and beguiled Rome with promise of great wealth and world power. And Rome yielded. Her riches led her to cast aside her garment of purity and selfdenial. She flung herself into the riotous pursuit of pleasure. She made slaves of other men to serve her needs. She imposed her will upon the world, and in her arrogance commanded men to do as she did, if they would do rightly. 'Obey my laws, kneel at my altars, seek my pleasureo, she sang to the Accompaniment of the pipes of war, to the whistle of the battle axe. A battle song she sang, with her heel ground into the prostrate body of nations. But that music changed its tempo and its theme, and 1o! in a while Rome is wailing her swan song and is on her way to death."

"Look you now," he bids me, "To your own generation, your own country, Need I draw the parallel between the grandeur that was Rome and the glory that ís America in this, the third decade of the twentieth century? America! - whose beginnings were with a small band of dauntless ploneers who strove mightily and wrought much. Life was a simple thing in those early days, with the home and the church as the center of society. America was built up on the family hearthstone and on the altar.

"But America has built too far. The great towering edifice erected by her pride and achievement will topple inevitably and crash to destruction, "Then will America lie prostrate and crushed in the midst of her own ruins."

"America has built too fast. Speed is the watehword of the day. And here are present all the evils that led that older, greater civilization to ruin - religious intolerance, greed for wealth and power, ambition and coloseal vanity. self-indulgence and a mad pursuit of pleasure, Our children are blighting their future with a careless, an insane disregard for the moral laws and the rules of health and decency, Outraged nature will demand full payment in another day. And the America of that day will be the land of these young that we must now condemn, America! How much longer the land of the brave and the home of the free!"

"Lirten to me. my pessimistic friend. I have a word to say. There is truth in all you have given, but the greatest truth you have not vet declared,

"Rome fell, ves. but Rome rebuilt. The Latins came into their own again. Tt took long centuries but that indomitable spirit of the ancient Roman swept Enrone out of the Dark Ares finally, and into n glorions new dav. Renaissance that Inter pee js called. The word means 're-birfh.' The anirit of Rome enrvived: her soul saved civilization. centuries after her bodv had rone the war of all flesh. And that great Roman snirit was but the um tota! of all the human souls that made un the Rternal City.

It is as true a likeness today as it was In that yesterday of ancient Rome, All the possibilities of salvation for a world gone mad are here in our own generation,

Sadly do we confess to all these evils, Clearly can we reckon the price to be paíd for a redemption, But we ean poy that price - we will pay it.

To us there comes the challenge! We may give rennaissance to America - we may quicken the pure and noble spirit that moved our country in the early days. Are we to shrink from the dare?

Agriculture

The foundation of Civilization rests upon the Chemistry is the cornerstone of that foundation. 'The first steps taken toward civilization were man's giving up of the insecure hunting and fishing for a livelihood and adopting first grazing, and then true agriculture a» a means of sustenance.

The first agriculture was crude. Most of the work was done by hand, but advancement was made, slowly but steadily, until today agriculture la a science, and the fundamental basis of every other known industry or science, for how could the captains of industry and the day laborers or the astronomers and metallurgists live if it were not for the produce of the farmer? Chemistry has been more instrumental than any other science in advancing agriculture to its present high plane.

The first, and probably the most important of his researches was made in food for the soil, tertílizers. Ancient philisophers knew that animal manure and certain plants, if plowed into the ground in the fall, would give improved crops the next season, but took it as a matter of course.

There are eight elements which are absolutely essential to plant life. Of these, five are usually found in such abundance in the soil that there 18 no need to supply them artificially. The other three ure those of which the largest quantity is necessary for plant growth, Since these elements are necessery and constitute the larger part of all plant life, the resources of the soil are soon exhausted if they are not supplied to the soil by some artificial means.

Phosphates are probably the most abundant of the mineral fertilizers. Phosphate rock found in immense deposits all over the world that it is a comparatively cheap and easy matter to supply it to deficient soils.

For some time bone meal had been known to be a good fertilizer, but the reason was not known. Chemists later found at it was due to its phosphorie acid contont,and that bone meal treated with sulphuric acid was much more beneficial than the untreated meal.

In 1842 Sir John Laws díscovered that phosphate rock treated with sulphuric acid produced a fertilizer very similar to that of the treated bone meal, This product is known commercially as superphosphate and it constitutes the major part of our phosphate fertilizer of today.

Potash is also one of the by-products of the salt industry. For years it was believed that these byproducts had no value, but within recent years chemists have discovered that as fertilizer they have a much greater value than the salt from which they are taken. Potash, therefore, is also a cheap and easily procured fertilizer.

The most necessary of the three chief fertilizers, the hardest to get, the easiest to lose, and still the most abundant in nature is nitrogen.

In ancient times it was known that certain plants such as alfalfa, beans, clover, peas and lentils, if plowed into the soil would cause a much better and luxuriant crop the next year, than if they were not plowed under. The reason for this had not been known until very recent years, although the scientists of ancient times believed that the small modules on the roots must have something to do with it.

Now we know that there are nitrogen firing bactoría in the soil which, in some way deposit the nitrogen from the soil in a combined state, in these nodules.

This, however, leads to another problem. These bacteria, to work properly, must have ideal conditions, sweet, well drained and airiated soil, or they wil strike and fix no more nítrogen until factory conditions are improved.

Some years ago the Guano deposits, droppings of sea birds, mixed with their bones and other retuse, formed the chief source of nitrogen fertilizer, Some Guano is still sold, but the beds are almost completely exhausted.

For nearly a hundred years Chile nitrate rock has been the chief source of nitrogeneous fertilizer. It was fairly cheap it came to be used all over the world for agricultural purposes.

However, nitrogen is conjunctive to the sword as well as the plowshare, and when Germany's supply of nitrate rock was cut off soon after the beginning of the world war, she found it necessary to devise some means of using the free nitrogon which constitutes seventy-nine per cent of the aír. This is much easier said than accomplished, for nitrogen at ordinary temperatures is a very inactivo element, and will not readily combine with other elements to form nitrates, the best form for both agricultural and military use. Hence the Haber process for making nitric acid from ammonia was developed. The nitric acid is then eas- neutralized to form the nitrate salts.

The process developed by Haber, a German chemist, follows: A mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen under pressure is heated to 500 degrees centigrado in the presence of a catalytic agent. Part of the gases combine to form ammonia, which is dissolved in water. Nitric acid is manufactured from the ammonia and the salts from the acid,

There are other methods which are more or less oxpensive but the Haber process will probably come into general use. It will not be long until these different methods will have advanced far enough to supply abundant, and therefore, cheap nitrates for general fertilizer use,

When that time comes the greatest problem of modern agriculture will have been solved, and the farmer will owe a great debt for its solution to the chemist,

In ancient times people thought that insect pests, fungus growths, and plant diseases were God-sent punishments for wrongdoing, and for this reason it was considered useless to attempt to control them, However, as the pests multiplied and flourished, steps were taken for their control, dragged across an infected field. This is one of the earliest recorded attempts at control and was done in the early seventeenth century. Substances having a very offensive odor were considered to be the best insecticides at that time,

The first practical tests were made in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Some of the results of this experimentation really had value as insecticides and are still in use. Some of tho tested substances were lime, sulphur, powdered tobacco, soap, soot, turpentine, and petroleum.

"These early experimentors did not take into consideration the different types and habits of the various insects, Gradually they learned more and more about the insects, until they finally found that they could be divided into two classes, chewing insects and sucking insects,

The most common compounds of arsenic, are Paris Green, London Purple, Lead Arsenate, Calcium Arsenate and Scheele's Green, Hellebore, a root powder, containing the powerful alkaloid, jewine, is also very polsonous to the Insects.

The second class of insects, the sucking type, penetrates the leaf of the plant with a tube or bill, through which it draws the plant-juico, Hence, only stomach poisons which would be powerful enough to penetrate the leaf of the plant would be of any avail against this type of insects. Poisons this violent would destroy the plant, so more harm than benefit would be derived,

For this reason, poisons which kill the insect by contact with the body, but at the same time which are harmless to plant life must be used.

Pyrethrum was one of the first of this kind to be successfully used, It is a powder composed of flower heads of certain plants of the Chrysanthemum family. It was known quite early that this substance was a good insecticide, but it» contents was kept a secret until 1818, when it manufacture on a large scale was begun in Europe. It was introduced in America in 1860. It is still used in this country, and the average sales reach three million pounds annually,

Another insecticide of plant origin is dervise. It is a powder and used to kill fleas on cattle, poultry, dogs and cats as well as on plants,

For some time soaps have been used as contact insecticides. Most of these contain lye in some combination. They are very effective in killing insects.

sifur are also very effective. It had been known for a long time that kerosene and other petroleum. produets were valuable as insecticides, but unless mixed or diluted in some way they are harmful to plant lite. The chemist has devised several methods of dilution. Emulsion, in which the oil is mixed with soaps is the best and most satisfactory method. By mixing with other sprays a satisfactory insecticide is also produced.

Nicotine, the tobacco toxin, has for years constituted the basis of the chfef insecticides used in green houses and small gardens. The nicotine is extracted from the tobacco by soaking the leaves in water, It is then combined with sulphuric acid and the nicotine sulfate formed is diluted before using. Nicotine dusts are also widely used. In these the nicotine preparations are mixed with some carrier such as lime, gypsum or kallin.

Lime sulphur is one of the most widely used contact sprays for scale insects, It is prepared by boiling together sulphur, hydrated lime and water,

Fumiranta are used chiefly for treating seed. They have not yet come into extensive use, but probably will in the near future, The most common fumigants are hydrocyanic acid gas, carbon disulfide, ehloropicron and ethyl acetate-carbon tetrochloride.

Bordeaux mixture is the most widely used fungicide at this time. Its formula has been changed many times, and it has been improved each time. It is composed chiefly of copper sulfate and slaked lime.

Combinations of the different types of sprays and fungicides have been made to save time in application and to cut the number of applications. Sometimes this is all right to do, but quite often the mixing of the chemicals causes a chemical reactlon to take place which either destroys the insecticidal value or makes a compound harmful to the plant. Therefore, care must be taken in combining different sprays and fungicides.

Dusts aro the most recent development of chemistry in the insecticidal time. Dusting is a time saver over spraying but it is still undecided as to whether it is as effecient as the latter. It has been used very effectively in the control of the cotton boll wevil, + and pathologist these various methods of Insect and fungus control have been devised, and although the work has not yet been completed, great improvements have already taken place, without which farming today would be a hopeless task.

The third division is the relatioship between chemistry and animal nutrition. The animal body is itself a great chemistry laboratory where changes are taking place all the time.

By studying the digestive processes, learning what foods are required, and in what proportion they are required, chemists have been enabled to prepare balanced rations which are the most economical and at the same time allow the animal to thrive physically and to do the most work.

Horses have been given the strength to do more work, enttle have produced enormous amounts of milk, chickens have been made better layers, and the pig, the most abused animal on the farm, has been made to grow rapidly and to produce better quality meat than ever before.

The value of vitamins has been ascertained and their relation to prolifie growth been discovered, So great is their importance that their absence causes diseases, and will even prohibit reproduction if a certain one is lacking.

Vitamins themselves are not food. It is not known exactly what they are, but they in some way, aet as agents in the processes of digestion, disease prevention and reproduction,

These are only three oi the ways in which chemictry and agriculture are related. There are many other ways of more or less importance, but these are the chief ones. Chemistry has Just begun to cooperate with agriculture within comparatively recent years, but the result has already made itself evident, and agriculture today is an advanced ence and a profitable venture because of the interest and help of the chemist.

Foothall Season 1926

History has a way of rep for as football in Porta concerned, Ravenna Township repeated its performance of tho season of 1924 and 1925 winning its third consecutive championship, Perhaps the 1926 team was not as strong as those of 1924 and 1925 but It play ed a strong defensive game and managed to scor nough points to win from all of its County League rivals, Aurora, the runner-up, plowed through the opposition rolling up enormous scores, and threatened to unseat the Blue and White team as county champions, Held to a by Garrettsville and defeated by Ravenna Twp. were the only blots on the impressive record of the up-county team.

A warm, bright sun and a clear blue sky on Saturday, May 7, delighted several hundred Portage County students, as it was the day of the Annual Portage County Track and Field Meet, held at the Portage County Fair Grounds in Ravenna,

Honors for the day went to the Aurora boys and Garrettsville girls in Class A; Shalersville boys and girls in Class B; and Ravenna "Township elementary boys,

The Aurora boys took a big lead in tho field events during the forenoon. Garrettsville gained rapidly when it to the track events but could not erase the lead and finished seven points lower than Aurora's 35%. Ravenna Township, with 19 was third, The Garretteville girls, for the fourth consecutive yonr, won rather easily with 22 points, Windham followed with 11 and Mantua Center with 10.

Competition among Class B boys was keen, with Shalersville capturing 21 points and the meet. They were closely followed by Paris with 18, Brimfield 17 and Palmyra 15. The Shalersville girls found the going easy, taking over half of the total of 54 points. Paris finished second.

The elementary boys meet was won by Ravenna Township, or rather by Menough of Township, with 20% points, Garrettsville, scoring 16 points, was second.

Only one new record was established during the meet. This came early in the day when Agnes Key, of Mantua Center, set a mark of 7 feet, 9% in. in the girl's standing broad jump.

The Junior

One of the teachers became ill and had to leave school for several days. Her home was in Lorain. One of her pupils went home and told that her teacher had Elyria and had gone to Lorain. `

He goes on Sunday to the church; Sits not among the boys. He hears the parson pray and preach And hears his best girl's voice Singing in the choir - She makes an awful noise.

Talking, flirting, flunking, Onward through school he goes; Each morning sees no task begun, Each evening less he knows; Nothing attempted, nothing done, Thus the whole year goes. - Aileen Keller, '28.

We gained her side And we bound and tled And lifted her in our arms; She opened her eyes, In bewildered surprise, We yielded unto her charms.

So we let her loose And she played the dence With the whole of our merry crew; Long we stayed and played With this island maid And her pretty sisters, too,

But there came a time In this sunny elime When for home we should set sail; When the ocean rang And the echos sang With the mermald's hopeless wail.

She sat on a rock And a dusky lock Swept over her lovely face; And the tears as she wept Down her soft cheeks swept In an endless, burning race.

On Having Reached My Junior Year

Having come this far on my journey thru life, It is well to pause, and think back - Of the things I have learned and those which I lack, For the best education is not minus its strife, Now that we've struggled this far along, We've learned that gradually each step is revealed; 'That fountains of knowledge to us are not sealed; And a purpose in life will make anyone strong.

Oberlin Business College A School For High School Graduates

The Oberlin Business College has set a high standard in that it admits only high school graduates. This places this school in a class by itself. It is said to be the first business college in Ohio, and one of the few in the United States having the college entrance requirement.

That they appreciate the opportunity to study in a business college of college grade, where advanced courses are offered suited to their needs, is shown by the fact that students are enrolled this year from over sixty different high schools in Ohio, in addition to those from other cities,

It is a loss of time and effort for high school graduates to study in the average business college with a mixed class of students, some of whom have had little or no high school training. Many young people from this community, now holding good positions in different parts of the country, secured their business training at Oberlin.

The Dow D Career Of Macbeth

It is evident that Macbeth had earlier, before the play opens, given thought to the possibilities of kingship suggested by the apparitions. Consideration of such an ambition is a debasement since absolute loyalty is unquestioning. He lets his wife spur him on (by calling him a coward) when he knows that he has physical bravery enough to do most anything, The actual deed itself is probably the next step. However, at this time, beth is still not entirely debased for he is sorry to the extent of wishing the knocking, almost imploring it, to wake Duncan.

His downfall is accelerated from this time. The murder of Banquo and attempt on Flean continued visits to the apparitions, his growing ability to He ably, all are outstanding evidences of the lowering trend «f his morals.

It seems that he has "plummed the depths" of debasement, when in his unreasoning anger at Macduff, he murders the Innocent wife and children.

Macbeth has truly loved his wife. When she takes her own life the fact that Macbeth is angry with her for dying, in my opinion, dwarfs all his other erimes into insignificance.
