HIGH SCHOOL “CHAOS” DELIGHTS ALL STUDENTS

Second R. H. S. Annual Pronounced an Unusually Fine Student Publication — Made Big Hit With Students, Alumni, Faculty and Public.

The second high school annual of Rensselaer is a beauty and a model of perfection. It is profusely illustrated with photographs and drawings and the literary contributions of the various students are of a high order. It Is among the best of the high school annuals it has been our pleasure to see and if there be Chaos, as the name implies, the book is most artistically confused. The annual is dedicated to Superintendent Warren, who for the past seven years has" worked earnestly and ceaselessly in the interest or the schools and the students. His labors have not been in vain; under his regime the schools have made marked improvement in many ways and he infused a new spirit into school life, and adopted modern principles ib school management that were long in need. JHe retires, with the end of this term, from school life to engage in a private business, and his decision has caused an expression of general regret. The dedication of “Chaos” of 1912 to him is very befitting for his last year in school. ' Much credit falls on the Bhoulders of the editor-in-chief, Alfred Thomp-. son, and his able staff associates, Virgil Robinson, Edna Babcock, Nell Parker, Ray Laßue, Edwin Robinson, Florence Ryan and John Hemphill, together with the valuable suggestions of the faculty members. Their superior production was effected in

the face of many obstacles, and only a glance at show how gracefully the obstacles have been overcome by them. ■ The annual is a large, handsomely printed and tastefully hoj*nd volumn of 112 pages, and is a complete and valuable register to the members of the faculty and the student body, their activities and their pleasures. The cover design is in the class colors, gold, and black, the body being in black with the word “Chaos” and a R. H. S. 12 monogram embossed "on it in gold. On the first page is a large halftone photograph of Superintendent I. N. Warren, at one side of which are the words of dedication; then follows a group picture of -the “Chaos” staff, following which is a full-page picture of tbe board of education, composed of R. A Parkison, -Geo. A- Wil--1 ihms and H. J. Kannal. A group halftone follows, showing the members of the faculty. 4 ? 4

..-After this comes the class, beginning with the seniors and ending with the freshmen and the histories of the various classes with their officers, roll, colors flower, The‘pictures* of the membo&s are individual halftones, under each of which is an epigram denoting a charaqteristic or trait peculiar -to each. The pictures of the other classes are.all in groups. Then comes the subject of student, activity, including literary societies, debating clubs and the like. *- Following this, under the head Literary, are prosaic and poetic gems, contributed by students, which denote no. mean literary abilities. • , . Then comes the subject of Athletics, which long has.kept the Rensselaer high school ,in the, foreground. Under, this heading football and, basketball occupies most of the space. There is a brief summary of the 1911' football "season, accompanied by several snapshots of the most spectacular plays.

Under the coaching of H. F. Parker, tbe red and black has been led through fifty-one games of football, out of which five were lost, eight tied, and thirty-eight won —a -.record well worthy of pride. Full length halftones of the members of the football and basketbalV teams are featured in this section. Immediately After this comes a sketch of the work and accomplishments of the manual' training department, which was instituted at the suggestion of Superintendent L N. Warren. Under the Music, Art and Dramatics bead, each subject is briefly discussed: and illustrated with halftone photographs, the plays given by the high school this year having special prominence. The last part of the annual, and the ..most interesting part to rthe students, is the daily calendar, and .cuts and grinds. This section is tbe ;dally record kept throughout the year

of all events occurring around school, and special stress is laid to record the blunders of the faculty and students. In this department also, scattered throughout "reading matter, are the advertisements of Rensselaer business men who saw fit to benefit themselves and the school by using it as an advertising medium. Intermingled with text matter throughout this book are many excellent # etchings by the students of an artistic temperament. The drawings are of a type depleting school life and are well executed by Edwin Robinson, Ethel Davis and Bernice Rhoads. ■ « r. The publishing of this book has a greater significance than the mere fact that it makes a good showing for the [School. It shows that our modern sys tem of high school education offers all manner of facilities fo I .’ the development of Ids or her especial talents. If the inclination be musical, there is the school chorus; If it be platform work, opportunity for its cultivation is afforded by the school play or the debating contest; and if it is in the ,use of pen and ink, the student can assist in the making of school publications and other activities of like journalistic or literary nature. Combined with the routine high school studies a certain legitimate measure of recreative student activities, such as these, has been found to result in a valuable and interesting develop-

ment of talents, which, tacking the opportunity for exercise, might have remained dormant and wasted. In all this modern management of a higji school the Rensselaer institution has not been found lacking, and the students, who are a product of this management, have shown their abilities in the annual they have just issued. * ' It serves as a binding tie to the high school and the graduate, is an inspiration to greater attendance and more respect for the school, and is a credit to the school, the student body and the city, and will not be found wanting from any point 1 * of t|ew. Chaos was printed and bound in Tbe Republican office and we believe is an exceedingly creditable job of printoriai art. Tbe sale the book is meeting is very gratifying to the staff and the faculty and we bejieve every alumnus should have a copy. The sale price Is sl.

ROOSEVELT WON IN OHIO; TAFT GETS TEN DELEGATES.

President Lost By AM* & Bis Homo State—Effect WB) Influence Final Result Almost complete returns tram Ohio show that Roosevelt has won 32 of the district delegates to ID for Taft and that tbe former won by about 25,000 in the president’s native state. Tbe result will be to give Roosevelt control of the Ohio state convention and there 6 delegates at large will be chosen, thus giving Roosevelt 38 out of 48 delegates in that state. It Is believed that the result will influence other states still to select delegates and that Roosevelt will continue to find favor in future contests. President Taft's managers assert that be has sufficient delegates to nominate him and that his loss in Ohio will not stop him in tbe least. Both the candidates will get busy in New Jersey, where 28 delegatee are to be chosen. Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio, seems to have defeated Governor Woodrow Wilson in the Ohio contest and apparently will, get tbe entire delegation. Champ Clark did not figure extensively in tbe Ohio campaign but he has secured a large number of delegates from other states and it looks like the democrats will have a lively convention, with the always imminent possibility that William Jennings Bryan will be the qltimate nominee. - V , > t
