NORMAL Winter The flrst of November comes witli its chilly blast and gloomy sky. The frost has turned the green of the maples into gold, red, and .yellow, and the sharp wind has blown them into some hidden fence corner. There, covered with snow, the.v will rest the winter through. The goldenrod, which only a month ago was proudl.v waving its head to the rh.vthm of the autumn breezes, now gives up its secret and scatters its seeds about. What it retains are to become the food of the hard.v sparrows and jays during tlic long winter months when daintier morsels of food are hard to obtain. The grass, the marsh weeds, the clover, and all the green forms, which in summer make the earth so full of beauty and life, have given up, willing to rest until spring returns. The birds, too, seem to think that their work in tho Northland is completed and now take flight to the far southern countries wliere they will feed and rear their .young among the warm marshes and highlands of a warmer zone. The long, pleasant country roads of summer are now deserted, and they stretch away behind the hill or disappear into the grey sky. The lines of the hills, which previously had been indented by the irregular surface of the shady trees, are now hard and sharp. Yes, like the instinctive nature of the lower forms of life which tells them to prepare for the northern winter, there seems to be in the hearts of many hiiinaiis a desire, a vivid growing desire, to also seek a fairer climate. They seem unable to face the weather and wintry blasts. They look on winter with some feeling of dread and apprehension, as something to be met and endiii-ed. They are like soldiers in the friiiit line of an opposing army. They see the enemy come surging up the valley, and unless the.v meet it, oppose it, and (li'stioy it, tlioy most necessarily polish under its feet. AN'hiit an oiitloiik to ha\"i' on wintei— which, to the line lover of nature, is one of Ille most beautiful seasons of the year.

It is, wlii>ii we contrast it with suininer, fur at that season all things are clothed in fine, summer dresses. The birds, the trees, the wayside flowers, the flelds, all have put on an outward show. On Ibe other hand, in winter a new ap]iear;iiice is presented to us. All lies ojieii to onr sight; tho view is unrestrict- ed. There are new curves in the footpath that leads into the forest. We can see the crevices iu the stone wall which in summer were covered by the thick niiiss of woodbine. AVe can see in the hawthorn bush b.v the roadside what was once the nest of the wood thrush. We can look at the trees and feel tho strength of their framework. We can discover tho trail that was lost iu summer because of the heavy growth of underbrush. The creek no longer rambles througii an archway of ferns and marsh grass but is now entirely disclosed to the eyes of the seeker. This is the season of the year iu which to analyze and to examine. TIMES Senior Class Decides on SemiFormal Prom. J. H. S. Student Teachers Take Up Their Work "Formal! Formal! F o r m a l ! " one crowd of girls cried at every step on the way to Senior class meeting on January 31. "We want it semi-formal!" came from another crowd. With Ed Sherkel presiding, the meeting decided that the Senior Prom will be held February 19. The Senior Class play, which comes earl,y in March, was discussed. .Iunior High student teachers for second semester took hold of their new work January 31. There are twenty-two now student teachers in the Junior High school. Their assignments follow: William Bittner—Two classes of English. Isabel Boylaii—Civics and English.
