We ki.ow trc5h air is very import
ant, and if we were to bo without it
we would not be able to live.
We must have fresh air to purify
tln blood; that is, when the s blood
-omes to the lungs for air it must
hae fresh air, in order to make it
as pure as it can be. We must have
fresh air to aid in digesting the food,
to keep our lungs in order and one
of the most important ones is to pre
vent consumption and other diseases
which come from not having enough
fresh air. .
We know that we must have fresh
air to live. " Fresh air gives us en
ergy. In the morning when we arise
and do not feel as wide awake as
we should, if we go out of doors for
a short time it awakens us and gives
us energy. The reasons why we need
l'resh air are po numerous that it
would take many books to tell all
of them.

Ky Catharine Zeiger, St. Joseph's
Academy.
We require fresh air as well as wc
require food.
It is very important that we learn
about fresh air and how we can
entilate our homes, school room,
work shops and public places so that
we shall be breathing fresh air all
the time.
In the first place" we breathe the
fresh air into our lungs and the oxy
gen that is in the air purines the
blood which flows through our veins.
The more fresh air wo breathe the
more robust we become. So it is
easy to see the difference between a
person that is in the fresh air and
one who stays in doors all the time.
Children are more seriously af
flicted "by impure air thin rown
people are.
Plants like people have to have
fresh air or they could not live. Con
sequently without fresh air nothing
could live.
T1IIK1 IMUZE.
By Iluard Merrill. IViley School.
We nerd fresh air for numerous
reasons. Our lunus require it and we
should not sleep with our windows
closed unless it is a very cold niht.
Although fresh air is needed, you
should be careful of draughts. Tu
berculosis is caused from hot, stuffy,
little rooms where no fresh air can
come in and kill the germs. Fresh
air will give us a hearty appetite, and
nothing does any more ood than a
walk before breakfast. breathing
through your nose and taking long,
deep breaths of the morning air.
It is not healthy t live near a mill
or any other smoky manufacturing
plant as this poisons the air and Is
not tit to breathe into the lungs. They
are the most delicate part of our body
and need proper care. There is no
treatment better than plenty of good,
clean fresh air. If air is being taken
to the Inr.s through the mouth it
carries all the uerms with it. while
u'o;n through the nose it is puritied.
Fm.-'m air that is breathed through
the mouth doesn't do one-quarter the
good th.it the air inhaled through
the no.-e does. Fresh air also gives
us a good complexion.
We need fresh air then for four
reasons; To uive us an appetite, to
keep our lungs in perfect working
order. ti ireent tiiberculosls and to
keep us from being ill.

No one can live well or long with
out good, fresh air. The oxygen that
is in the air is the best and we must
breathe it day and night, not to be
taken in sparingly as if it were ft
dangerous posion. Some people are
afraid of fresh air. It helps you to
live well. If you are sick with con
sumption, sleep out doors where you
get plenty of air that has plenty of
oxygen in it. They should not be
afraid of draughts, that is, currents
of the air. Fresh air helps you to
live well, to cure consumption.
sixth rum:.
By Minora Itainoy, Perley School.
There are two very important rea
sons why we need fresh air. First
we need fresh air to supply us with
oxgyen and second to carry off all
dust and poisonous gases. If we did
not have fresh air we could not live.
If a great many people were in a
room breathing over and over the
same air it becomes very poisonous.
People that almost live out of doors
are most always healthier than those
living in doors. People that have
colds all the time think it is caused
by too much fresh air, but they are
mistaken, us they probably caught
them by staying in heated rooms
where there was no fresh air.
1 1 o x o 1 1 a 1 1 m 3 n xt i o x .
By Sareita Bohn, Verlcy School.
It is evident that fresh air is good
for us for several useful reasons. The
greatest is to have our body supplied
with oxygen, ami to breathe plenty
of pure air and less of impure air.
We should also provide air that can
carry tff dust, noxious gases and
moisture. The body needs food, cloth
ing, bathing and drink, but none of
these wants are so pressing as that
for air. The other demands may be
met by occasional supplies, but air
must be furnished every moment or
we die. No tohic will so invigorate
as a few full, deep breaths of cold,
pure air. Air is the best medicine
God could give, so we should use it
and not be shut up in a warm room
or sleeping . with your w indows down.
iionohamli: Mi:xnox.
By Lucille Witnmjor. St. Joseph's
AtaiJcniy.
Fresh air is very necessary to man
and animal. If it were not for fresh
air we could not live. If we were
to go into a house where the win
dows are closed, it is unhealthy and
seems very warm, but a room chore
the windsnvs are opened always seems
very cool, although the temperature
is the same. That is because in the
unhealthy room we breathe the same
air which is impure and that makes
the lungs weak, but in a fresh air
room we throw out the impure and
breathe in the pure. We should al
ways breathe through our nose, as in
the nose there are little hairs to
catch the dirt and germs and pro
vent them from going to the lungs;
but breathing through the mouth the
impure air goes straight to the lungs.
HONORABLE MENTION.
By William Jackson. Muecl School.
v resh air is good for you because
it prevents disease.
But when you stay in one room all
the time, you breathe all the oxygon
out and there is nothing left but
nitrogen, and the people who stay in
the house all Die time are not so
strong as the ones who stay out, doors
most of the time, and therefore fresh
air makes you stronjf.
If you don't have fresh air you
don't breathe enough oxygen, but a
large amount of nitrogen.
If you sleep in a room where the
window Is not open you will catch a
cold, so fresh air prevents colds.

YE OLD TIME PARTY.
Speaking of the all around good
times which we have enjoyed this"
year, none will stand out so prom
inently in the mind's eye as the
colonial party given by the fresh
man class in honor of the graduates
last Tuesday afternoon, and we re
joice in the fact that the sophomores
have at last found their peers in the
art of entertaining. The costumes
were striking and varied from laven
der and black to blue and geld. The
party began at 2 o'clock with the
dancing of the minuet in the high
school rooms, which had been thrown
together and elaborately decorated
with flags and red, white and blue
streamers. The streamers fastened to
the walls and drawn to the chande
lier in the center of the room formed
a canopy over the room, while large
flags curtained the doors and vin
dows. Following the minuet there
was a program of dances after "which
dainty refreshments were served In
the recreation room, which was dec
orated in the school colors, blue and
gold. The favors were small hatchets
with the inscription "I cannot tell a
lie." The remainder of tho after
noon was spent informally.
Characters from "ye olden days"
were to be seen in each nook and
corner, and we had no difficulty in
recognizing such persons as George
and Martha Washington, Messrs. and
Mesdames Patrick Henry, Jame3
Madison. John Quincy Adams, Ben
jamine Braddock, Eord and Eady
Fairfax, Thomas Carlyle, Benjamine
Franklin. Alexander Hamilton, Mar
quis do La Fayette, Thomas Jefferson
and John Carroll of Carrollton.
Severe 1 group photographs were
taken and when the proofs made
thir appearance, exclamations like
this greeted us: "Oh! do I really look
like that," "Why did you move Ruth"
and "There I knew mv hat was on
crooked." However, contrary to ex
pectations the pictures are remark
ably god, and show the new porch
and rest room off to advantage.
Among those who paid us a little
I call wore Mrs. Patrick O'Brien, Mrs.
George O'Brien and Masters Patrick
and Jerome Crowley. The former
oun-: man favored us with several
ocal selections which were greatly
enjoyed by all. Mrs. Joseph Donahue
: and "her littlo son. Joseph, jr., were
also among those present.
The weekly mooting of the s. J. A.
Glee cl.ib was held Wednesday at
11:::". Two new songs. "Away to the
Woods." and "The Miller's Wooing"
were practised and aro to be ren
dered at the next entertainment.
The high school class room neer
looked so irood to the girls as since
the fr shies' colonial party fine
feathers make lino birds.
One of our dignified sophomores
became suddenly indisposed Thurs
day morning. possibly the first at
tack of spr.mg "fever. Poor Martha
she forgot all lur ailments when in

blvd.
The graduates have completed the
reading of John Keat's works in their
English poetry class.
Webster's dictionary, better known
to us as "Dickey," is the graduates'
mascot.
Cndtish balls were made at Wed
nesday's domestic science lesson.
Marie Joyce was heard saing in lur
usual way, "I've boon spankin and
spankin' 'cm but they won't bawl
(ball)."
Our national colors, rod. w hite and
olue, ornament the high school room
and sure inspire us with a new en
thusiasm to work.
Though several girls were so indis
posed they could not possibly attend
school Tuesday morning, they made
a tremendous effort and appeared at
the colonial ball.
Miss Mildred Odiet acted as do
of peace during a quarrel between Mr.
and Mrs. Jefferson over the riplit
owner of a pencil. She parted the
angry couple and gavo the pencil to
the Mrs. No doubt she favors wom
an's suffrage.
Many of the academic girls re
ceived anonymous Valeniines from
some unknown friend and so far they
haven't found the guilty parties.
Spring fever ?eems to have already
stolen into the high school class room
as every one possesses a tired, sleepy
feeling.
Lenten resolutions have been float
