June, 1936 Dedication School Seniors Alumni Lower Classes Sports Clubs Literature Campus CONTENTS Page Three Dedicated to BEN BLEWETT The teachers and young people of St. Louis have never had a better, truer friend than Ben Blewett. Forty-one years of his great life were devoted to their service. For thirteen of those years it was my great privilege to be associated with him as my immediate superior in that service. In all my experience in education I have met no one for whom I have had a more profound respect or whose friendship I have held in higher esteem. Dignity, honor, courage in the faithful discharge of every duty, unfailing courtesy and justice in his dealing with others, and unselfish devotion to every legitimate demand of his profession, were outstanding characteristics of his great spirit and personality. The influence of such a man will live on. It cannot die. The schools and the people of St. Louis will never lose the fruits of his labor or the impress of his character. The men and women of your class, those who have preceded you, and those who will follow as graduates of your great high school, have in his life an inspiring example of high character, great efficiency and devotion to duty as you face the great problems and responsibilities in life. May the highest success attend your efforts! Very cordially yours, JOHN W. WITHERS Former Superintendent of St. Louis Public Schools Page Four BEN BLEWETT Ben Blewett was born at Russellville, Ky., February 25, 1856. He was educated at Washington University, attaining the follow- ing degrees: A.B., 1876; A.M., 1879; L.L.D., 1916.

He was an understanding and con- scientious teacher, and in 1878 he was ap- pointed principal of the Lowell School. Then followed the principalships of the Humboldt School, 1880; the Carr Lane School, 1883; the Divoll School, 1884; the Stoddard School, 1889. In 1897 he was made assistant superintendent of instruction, and in June, 1908, he was elected superintendent of instruction, which post he held until his death January 26, 1917. Mr. Blewett was a brilliant educator and was responsible for many improve- ments in the St. Louis Public Schools System. Probably the most outstanding of these improvements was the innovation of the school age legislation. Until 1913, the Constitution of the State of Missouri limited the instruction of children, through the state taxes, to those between the ages of 6 and 20. For several years Mr. Blewett had been working to secure the reduction of the school age limit, but not until 1913 was he successful. In that year the State Legislature granted the reduction with the understanding that all students under six years and over twenty years be educated through the city funds and without aid from the state funds. This legislation was far reaching in effect, for it made possible the attendance at night school by adults without paying tuition and also permitted a child to have an added year of schooling by beginning at the age of five years instead of six years. Another of his most noteworthy contributions to the St. Louis Public Schools System was the Jessie Parsons Blewett Fund. This is a perpetual foundation, laid by Mr. Blewett through a gift of $50,000. The purpose and function of this foun- dation is to aid teachers in financial distress and also to help ambitious and talented teachers in obtaining higher professional training. Page Fire in- suit- 191? BEN BLEWETT HIGH SCHOOL The Ben Blewett High School is the result of many years of earnest endeavor in the field of education. In 1917, four months after the death of Dr. Ben Blewett, Dr. J. W. Withers, superintendent of schools following Doctor Blewett, recommended that the site of this school be purchased. Up to that time it belonged to Wash- ington University and the two buildings were occupied by Smith Academy and the St. Louis Manual Training School, two lower schools of Washington University. The property was bought for $300,000, and after several months of preparation, it was opened in September of 1918 as the Junior High School. Later, on the further recommendation of Doctor Withers and in honor of the deceased Ben Blewett, the school was renamed Ben Blewett Junior High School. Continuing as a junior high school until 1932, Blewett became nationally famous as an institution of learning. Now as a regular accredited high school it is fast making its place among the leaders. The principals of the school, in their chronological order, are: P. W. L. Cox, L. W. Rader, Dr. H. H. Ryan, H. H. Meeker, and finally our own Miss L. R. Ernst. Page Six THE SEAL Chosen by the popular vote of the student body, the seal of Ben Blewett High School is one of significance. The two wings, shown at full spread, denote the ambition of students to aspire to great heights in the fields of preparation and application. This desire ever to increase one ' s knowledge will be foremost in the lives of the students of Blewett. This knowledge, which is signified by the torch held by the griffin, will be ever- lasting. It will be so well founded and so earnestly acquired, that it will ever be present and active in the minds of its possessors. However, the burning desire and wealth of knowledge must be closely guarded. In this, the griffin is foremost, standing for the careful watchfulness which must be practiced in order to prevent the escape of aspiration and knowledge, in a world of physical and mental strife. Thus the students of Ben Blewett High School have chosen as keynote to success, the seal, denoting as its cardinal objectives: aspira- tion, knowledge, and watchfulness. This insignia, overwhelmingly accepted by the entire student body, was designed by Florence Hermanson.

In order to be rated as an honor roll student, one must have no grade below G. At the end of each five week grading period, there is printed a bulletin, on which are listed the names of those students who have become members of this group for that period. BLEWETT BOY WINS LATIN CONTEST Edward Scallet of Blewett won first place in the B division of a Latin contest held Saturday, April 18, at Washington University. This contest was open to all high schools in St. Louis and St. Louis County. A written examination on the life and works of Caesar was given to the contestants, Edward ' s paper being given the highest rating. A volume of Plutarch ' s Lives was awarded as a prize. BLEWETT GIRL IS SPELLING CHAMPION Dalzell Schuyler, 16-year-old Blewett student, re- cently won the junior spelling championship of communal organizations in Greater St. Louis at the Y. M. H. A. A certificate of championship was presented to her by Harris, chairman of the committee sponsoring the contest. Before she was able to enter these finals, Dalzell had to spell down about sixty of the best spellers at Blewett. When asked if she had had any particular drilling or training in spelling, she replied, No, I guess it just comes natural; and, as far as my having won is concerned, it ' s merely a matter of luck in a spelling contest. There were some words that I couldn ' t have spelled if they had been given to me. G Page Twelve BLEWETT STUDENTS In National Competition Ollie w on hockey s OLLIE HAUPT, JR. Ollie Haupt, Jr., 15-year-old Blewett student, recently returned from New York and Boston where he competed in figure skating contests. In New York, representing the St. Louis Figure Skating Club in the figure skating events, he tried out for the Olympic Team. Ollie suffered a great disappointment when he finished fifth, as only the first four were chosen to represent America in the coming Olympics. During his stay in New York, Ollie and his partner, Jean Schulte, finished sixth in the Pair Competition. From New York he traveled to Boston and took second place in the National Junior Singles Competition, ■as taught to skate by George Mueller, a German, who started him out skates, later changing to racers, and finally switching to figure-skates. Ollie has taken part in six St. Louis Silver Skates carnivals. Other figure-skating events in which Ollie has gained recognition are: Missouri Championship, 1930; National Junior Competition, first place, 1934; National Junior Pair, with Jean Schulte as a partner, second place, 1934; National Junior Pair Competition, 1935; National Junior Singles, third place, 1935; National Junior Singles, second place, 1936; Midwestern Singles Championship, third place, 1935. In three years of national competition, Ollie has won five medals: two gold first prizes, two silver second prizes, and one bronze third prize. Ollie explained the two types of figure-skating. One, he said, is the school-figures, that is, using figures on the ice; the other is free skating where spins and jumps are used. School-figures count the most in actual competition. In addition to skating, Ollie is also interested in swimming and tennis. He does not intend to make skating his life ' s work, but merely continue it as a hobby. singing did not hich eight BEN BASONE Ben Basone, 17-year-old Blewett student, competed in the national contest for high school pupils, in New York early this spring. Although I win the contest, I received a great deal of experience, and while I was there I took several lessons from one of the leading voice teachers in New York, Ben said on his return. Last year Ben won the inter-state contest at Springfield, Mo., in states were represented. This gave him the privilege of entering the national contest in New York this year. Ben has received most of his instructions in singing from J. E. Perrine, Blewett music instructor, who accompanied him on both the trips. Mr. Perrine discovered Ben ' s ability as a singer while listening to him during a special chorus class. In addition to singing at school and in contests, Ben sings in the Blessed Sacrament Church Choir. When asked if he enjoyed singing, he replied, As much as I love to eat, I ' d rather sing than eat. He also added that he preferred the classical music to the jazz. Ben ' s hobby is athletics: Football, basketball, and baseball. He does not consider singing just a hobby, however, but plans to continue it as his life ' s work. Page Thirteen Row I — LaHeist, Cooney, Cornbleth, White, Ehlers, Elliot, Krinard, .Noell.

BROCHURE STAFF Editor Business Manager LOFTIN WHITE LOUIS EHLERS The Brochure Staff for June, 1936, consisted of the following committees: The Art Committee was responsible for all designs, cartoons, and title pages. The Liter- ature Committee supervised the selection and correction of all material used in the literature section, and the Typing Committee converted all the material from each department into printable form. The Quotation Committee chose the quotations which follow each graduate ' s name, and the Photo Committee selected the photog- rapher, arranged for rates, sittings, and the like, and also sponsored the snap-shot contest, from which the campus views were taken. The Club Write-Up Committee gathered and corrected all material concerning organizations and teams. The editor wishes to take this opportunity to express his gratitude to all these and many others who aided in the publication of the BROCHURE. Page Fourteen THE SENIOR GARDEN By Louis Ehlers When signs of spring come peeping ' round And all the frost has left the ground, Tis then Dame Nature does her share And gives to us the flowers fair. Our dear Miss Ernst is a Laurel prime, The sponsors are Hedgerows quite sublime. Now Denny, my friends, is a flower quite rare, And June, the Honeysuckle, must be there. There ' s Mary Martin in the Marigold row And Johnny, the Hollyhock, all aglow. Loftin, a Snapdragon he shall be, And then comes Louis — that ' s poor weedy me. Our class as a background has stately grown; They are various flowers all proudly shown. Having mentioned them all, my task I ' ve begun But describing each plant should be lots of fun. Miss Ernst, our Laurel, is worthy our pride; She grows by the gate, keeping us inside. Without her there, I am sorry to say, A few of us would likely stray To forbidden fields and soon die there, For leaving the garden is leaving good care. The sponsors, our Hedgerows, are quite the same; They ' re there to keep us from mischief and blame Misses Pauls and Crecelius guard this throng And keep us from doing a great deal of wrong. Did I call Denny a flower rare? He ' s not — he ' s really a spry March Hare; For our garden without a mascot, I fear Would be like life without any cheer. Now June, the Honeysuckle, fills us with joy, As a tot would thrill at some new toy. There ' s Mary Martin, the Marigold true, Who sort of cheers us when we feel blue; And John, the Hollyhock, you ' re sure to find Is just as honest as he is kind. Loftin, the Snapdragon, our flower friend, Will stick with us from beginning to end. Now Louis, the Weed, he ' s named so true — He ' s slipped in this garden as all weeds do; The class, our background, seems quite gay; No one from the garden wants to stray. Some are perennial — they ' ll return next year, Some are annual and they ' ll soon disappear. But whether they go or whether they stay, The garden is bright with the flowers gay. So we put away in some memory-place The blossom picture of each fair face; Then let times come when all must part, New gardens will grow in every heart.

This we all know will be the course that the Senior-New Senior Party will follow. It was announced, through attractive invitations sent out to the Seniors, that on Wednesday, December 18, 1935, there was to be given the first Senior-New Senior party in the history of Ben Blewett High. We all were to meet, quoting the invitations, in Blewett Auditorium and then onward! At 2:45 on THE day, there were assembled in the auditorium all the happy seniors, ready and eager to be entertained by the new senior group. At 3 o ' clock the curtains parted and emitted Denny Peppers, master of ceremonies. Denny announced that an entertainment was to be given by Miss Timmerherm ' s group. We were all expecting a good show, and were not disappointed. The girls appeared dressed in costumes that brought peals of laughter from the audience. After many songs and jokes, the curtains were reluctantly closed upon them and we awaited the next star on the program, Jack Breen. Wearing a derby hat that nestled propped up on his ears and that successfully gave the air of the unfortunate whose pockets no longer jingled, Jack entertained with a song. Then came the officer ' s band in which each officer of the Senior Class tried to out-play the other. The tune could hardly be called a lullaby, but nevertheless, it was the source of much real enjoyment to the audience. Next it was decided by a tug-o ' war, between the officers of the Senior and New Senior Classes, which of the two classes was the better. The Senior Class won, and we all cheered for them, in spite of the fact that we felt a little regret deep down in our hearts. Denny announced that there were to be four fires to which the guests were to go to roast wieners. In the midst of our deciding to which we would go, a jingle of sleigh bells was heard and good Old Santa appeared. Behind mask, beard and all, the voice of Santa soon betrayed him. It was David Mason. From a red sack he gave each a card on which appeared either a poinsettia, a Santa Claus, a Page Fortr Christmas tree, or mistletoe. These told to which fire we were to go after the dance in the girl ' s gymnasium. The Blewett Dance Orchestra provided the music for the dancers, and for those who did not care to dance, the lunchroom was converted into a gameroom with ping-pong tables, playing cards, jig-saw puzzles, baffle boards, and the like. At 4:45 we all slipped into our wraps and went to the rear campus on which the fires were burning. Then followed a merry roasting of wieners, grabbing for buns and hot chocolate. All formality lost itself here, and there was a chatter and laughing that showed happiness and good-fellowship. Hot chocolate was spilled, wieners fell into the fire and were retrieved by willing hands. What flavor has a roasted wiener anyway unless it has been charred over the open fire! When the merriment was at its pitch, song sheets were passed out and all joined in singing the songs that had slipped the minds of many of us. It must have been a lovely sight to see us all gathered ' round the fire, singing at the tops of our voices, forgetting all but that we were having a good time. But happy gatherings must end and ours took on a more solemn note as we sang ' Till We Meet Again. GRACE FRANZ As the glowing embers of the fire kindled into ashes, And together stood we fellow seniors — new and old, The blaze of the burning wood while it reached for the empty sky Brought to us a feeling of eternal friendship. DONALD MOORE Page Forty-three POLLY SPEAKS Betty: Listen everybody! Polly told me what to write! She kept saying something about a bridge party, cops and robbers, and diamonds, so, I can write a good play about, The Mystery of the Lost Diamond. It can take place at a bridge party, and the cops can catch the robbers. So you all helped me. DESTINY Rex Brown: I wonder, does a man feel better when he pays for his crime? Ranger Jim: Well - - - I guess it ' s like when you eat a lot of turkey on Thanksgiving, you have to take some bicarbonate of soda later. MIDSUMMER NIGHT ' S MURDER Archy: Oh, me, oh my! A grastly crime! It ' s good that we came just on time. The gentleman ' s dead, this fact I fear; Oh me, oh my, oh gosh, oh dear! AND THE CLOCK STRUCK TEN Mephistophilis: A perfect plan my dear Macbeth. Even I could not think of a better one. Come all we will drag him to the very pits of Hell!

JANUARY CLASS, 1936 At 10 o ' clock on Jan. 22, 1 936, one hundred twelve girls and boys marched in stately processional down the center aisle of the auditorium to participate in Blewett ' s first graduation exercises. The ceremony opened impressively when Miss Ernst asked for a moment of silence in reverence to the beautiful silk flag of our country, presented to the school by the Mothers Circle. The theme of the exercises, Pioneers, was developed by Charles Warren who spoke on Pioneers in Action, and by Virginia Willoughby the subject of whose speech was Pioneers of the Mind. Gene Durnin, tenor, and the string quartet composed of Rex Clark, Irvin Eisenberg, John Johns, and Vern Stingley contributed musical selections. There was no one prouder on that day than Sue Rubin, to whom Professor George W. Stephens awarded the Washington University scholarship. To the strains of Sousa ' s Stars and Stripes Forever, one hundred twelve happy girls and boys left the auditorium with the firm conviction that there was a place for each and every one of them in this great world if they would but remember their class motto, Knowledge is Power. Page Forty-seven JANUARY CLASS, 1936— Continued Although B ' eweft has one of the smallest groups of alumni, this does not keep it from being the most active. At the beginning of the term fifteen of the graduates returned for P. G. courses. Of these only four remain: Jane Ailworth, Connie Mazar, lone Waterhouse. and Betty Wright. Jane is learning to cook, Connie sings, lone haunts the library, and Betty takes art history. Of those who are preparing themselves for the business world, we find Ruth Carrigan, Delpha Scott, and Laverne Goetz at Rubicam ' s; Jane Hausman and Melfreda Graper at Brown ' s; William Durett and Virginia How attend Sanford Brown, while Dorothy Alexander is at Miss Hickey ' s Business School. Walter Wood and Gene Romero have entered the banking field and are working at the First National Bank. Others employed include Lois Heilbronner, Tobie Corlie, Randle Egbert, Sylvia Gellman, E!mer Koch, Lucia Komadina, Joyce Goorman, and Evelyn Friedman. Geraldine Hudson and Selma Koshner are sales- ladies. David Blumenthal has a position in a Diesel Motors plant, Kenneth Miller slaves in an architect ' s office. John Rothwell works as a bellhop at the Lennox Hotel. You have no doubt heard Lucille Dodson and Charles Warren over the air on Sunday mornings. Sue Rubin, Lillian Goldman and Oscar Kilbansky are attending Washington University. Ethel Bliesner and Corinne Wood are also at Washington in the dress designing department. Ben Murray goes to St. Louis University and Blewett is represented at Central College by Virginia Willoughby. Sylvia Schultz and Ethel Joffe are students at the N. Y. A. College. Rex Clark is now playing in concerts. Alice Flaugher is a copy-holder for a publishing company. We also find many still at home eagerly awaiting the opening of college in the fall.

Rosita is the story of the adventures of a little gypsy girl of Seville, Spain, who falls in love with an American author. According to the customs of the gypsies, their princess Rosita must marry a gypsy. Manuel seems to be the fortunate one until the young American arrives. Soon it may be seen that Rosita prefers the young stranger. For that reason, Manuel and his friends kidnap Rosita. In the midst of the excitement, the American, Bob Wilson, finds some beads from the amber necklace he gave Rosita. He follows this clue and Rosita is found. Manuel flees after mak- ing an effort to stab the American. The principal characters were: Carol Hinchcliff, Lorraine Sullivan, Norman Slachman, Ruth Goldberg, Russell Dames, Bernice Aronson, James Martin, Pearl Lichtenfeld, Leonard Rubin, and Harrison Brockmeier. The dancers, chorus, and assistants were: Mary Eckert, Dorothy Noel, Leo La- ratto, Helen Doder, Hudson Rhinehart, Dorothy Lane, Dorothy Richards, lleta Smith, Rosemary McHenry, Rose Kaplan, Kathleen Young, Victor Mayer, Louis Ehlers, Irvin Pernikoff, Max Grabefker, Eugene Davis, Anita Stokes, and Mariella Cleveland.

SNIDER The Tennis Team last fall made a very good showing in the Interscholastic Tourna- ment. After throwing quite a scare into the other high school squads with early victories, the team weakened in the stretch and lost to the champion Roosevelt High aggregation. This discounted other victories over Soldan, Central, McKinley, and Cleveland, and the team was forced to be content with fourth place, having won twe ' ve and lost twelve matches. Dwight Lasater accounted for four victories, the doubles team of Schaeffer and Koch for three, and Edward Scallet the rest. Mr. Snider, last year ' s coach, will be unable to act in that capacity next fall, as he was transferred to Soldan, and the Tennis Team takes this opportunity to express grati- tude to him for his services.

Although in his first year of high school competition, Bob Connell won the diving championship at the meet. Both of these boys placed in their respective events in the State High School Meet. The letter men for the season are as follows: Bill Heine, Bob Connell, Sid Stone, Bill Byland, Paul Barnhart, Roy Stevenson, Dick Nax, William Goldenberg, Russel Woods, and Sid Svarin. Three of these, Stone, Nax, and Barnhart, will graduation. be lost to the squad through Row I — Woods, Stone, Barn- hart, Svarin, Byland.

FRANKENBERGER To the 1 935-36 Basketball Team, Blewett owes its appreciation for bringing to the school its initial athletic trophy, a cup won for fine playing in the Normandy Tournament. In the High School League, the team ' s best showing was in a game against Roosevelt, whom it defeated, 28-23. Oliver Pickel, freshman forward, accounted seventeen of the team ' s points. Coach C. Don Frankenberger regrets that due to graduation, he will lose some of his outstanding players. The members of the squad who earned letters in this sport are: Dick Cunning- ham, Bill Lemen, Gene Lemen, Jack Gold, Hyman Tash, Oliver Pickel, Melvin Krans- berg, and Hugh McLafferty.

DON FRANKENBERGER To the Blewett baseball team belongs the distinction of bringing to Blewett its first athletic trophy— the St. Louis Public High School Baseball Championship of 1936. Its league record consisted of five victories and one defeat. In the champion- ship game with Roosevelt, Blewett pounded out nine runs in the first inning for an early lead, and by the end of the game had stretched it into an I 8 to 6 victory. Coach C. Don Frankenberger will lose by graduation in June: Denny Peppers, Dick Cunningham, Elroy Evers, Gordon House and Al Pritzker. Dick Cunningham who played first base last year was moved to second this year and did a fine job at holding his position. Elroy Evers had the hardest assign- ment in filling the shoes of Bob Richards, last year ' s short-stop, and played a good game of ball. Gordon House, who batted .500 last season, seemed to be in a batting slump but in the Beaumont game he pulled out of it by hitting two home runs. Al Pritzker, last year ' s alternate catcher had a good season behind the plate, helping his pitchers a great deal. Denny Peppers pitched one of the best games of the season against Soldan, allowing only three hits and winning 1-0. Bob McCarron, who started the season at his regular third base position, went in as a relief hurler and won from McKin ' ey 16-15. He pitched the entire Beaumont game winning 9-6. The vacancy at third was filled by Joe Emison, sparky little infielder, on the team ' s roster for the first time this year. Jack Gold, the diminutive centerfielder, finished the season as one of the team ' s leading hitters, and he covered center field to the satisfaction of all Blewett fans.

The letter men from last year were, Gene Greene, half-mile and Maplewood Relay record holder; Bill Lemen, field events; Donald Moore, 440-yard dash and high jump; J. Hequembourg, 100-yard dash and broad jump; Al Theis, pole vault; Drane Wilkinson of the 220-yard dash and relay, and Wayne Miller, field events. From this nucleus and the new material a track team was fashioned. Some of the new men showing promise are Sol Nissen, Charles Zachritz, and Ed Andresen. Midgets were hard to get, but from the twenty-five candidates, the midget team has resolved itself into Bob Braun, Harry Warnhoff, Carl Unverferth, and Frank Tuckett.

The club was organized in September, 1935, by a group of girls who were interested in knitting. It is hard to resist making attractive sweaters and blouses with the large array of yarns and patterns to select from. Of course, the difficult patterns prove to be the most fascinating to knit. The new members have progressed rap- idly, and will soon be able to knit complete outfits. The girls take great pride in wearing the sweaters which they have made.

GALLUP The membership of the Scroll and Gavel was somewhat depleted by the grad- uation of the class of January ' 36, but those interested in the various branches of the club ' s activities make up a small and enthusiastic group. During the present term the debating team found itself again busy with a second interscholastic schedule, an innovation this year, for usually but one schedule a year is run. The debate question for this term was: Resolved That the Federal Government Should Exercise Complete Control Over the Sale and Manufacture of All Arms and Munitions.

WORD STUDY CLUB President - Vice-President Secretary - Treasurer - Sponsor - FRANCIS WALSH DOROTHY KOMM FRED STUHLMAN DAVID LIEBER MISS MARKHAM The Word Study Club is one of the most educational clubs of Blewett. The object of the club is the study of words. The way in which the club studies new words is most interesting because by studying one word, it studies a score of words. The study of words is not all that the Word Study Club offers. It offers to its members enjoyable reading from which words worthy of study are extracted. The club also receives troublesome words from students and teachers, and finds the meanings of the words. The club welcomes new members or visitors at its meetings and hopes in a very short time to be one of the outstanding clubs in the school. THE ART APPRECIATION CLUB President - Vice-President - Secretary-Treasurer Sponsor - ENO COMPTON DORIS HAGENSICKER FLORENCE HERMANSON MR. KRAUSE The Art Appreciation Club was organized for Blewett students who wished to know something of the art world of St. Louis. It has an active membership of about twenty-five. The club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Krause, meets on Wednesdays at the Y , the Artists ' Guild or other places where art exhibits are being held. Membership is not limited to those who study art; in fact, it was more for the benefit of those who know little of art that the club was organized. Enjoyment through seeing the exhibits; education through discussion of the artists and their work — this is the offering of the Art Club.

ATHLETIC CLUB President Treasurer Sponsor CHARLES ZACHRITZ MELVIN CRAWFORD MR. SCOTT A small gathering of boys interested in sports — that, in a few words, is the Ath- letic Club. But the club is really more than that. Every Thursday after school, its fifteen members meet in the boys ' gym and for the next hour or two devote themselves to relaxation in the form of basketball or any other sport that happens to appeal to them on that certain day. During basketball season games were scheduled and played with good results, with other independent teams. Indoor proved just as successful, with the A. C. representatives undefeated. THE CAMERA CLUB President - Vice-President - Secretary - Treasurer Sponsor - NICK LASKARIS REX BRANDT BILL SINGER MATTHEW McNEIL MR. WILSON About the middle of the semester the new Camera Club of Blewett was organ- ized, with Mr. Wilson as sponsor. The purpose of this club is to instruct beginners in developing and printing, and to enable the more advanced amateurs to try out new processes in printing, enlarging, developing, color, and infra-ray photography. The club plans to develop the art as well as the science of photography. In this connection it has planned to discuss balance, selection of subject, composition, and unity. In the science of photography it plans to study optics, and perspective, and chemical and physical composition of materials used in photography.

DER FRUEHLING By Edwin Weinhold Der Fruehling kommt, die Blaetter gruenen Und summen stets die kleinen Bienen. Es tut uns Menschen gar kein leid Wann kommt die schoenste Jahreszeit. Dann bluehen auch die Blumen fein, Und traurig kann man doch kaum sein. Die Kinder laufen schnell mit Lust, Und Freude liegt in jeder Brust. Die Voeglein singen laut und klar, Weil Winter, der so lang da war, 1st doch endlich fort gegangen, Und Fruehling hat schon angefangen. Der Schnee ist auch doch endlich fort, Und Gruen sieht man an jedem Ort. Der Fruehling bringt die Freude gar Die durch den Winter nicht da war. Page Nincty-scvcn VIRTUS STUDENDAE LATINAE (Dictum ab Patre ad Filium) By Edward Scallet Lingua Latina, fili mi, tibi studenda est non modo quod te facultates mentis exercere docebit sed etiam quod pulchritudo magna ei est. Causa pulchritudinis Latinae in hac re invenitur: quod longa et insignis historia est. Accedit ut haec lingua ab tantis poetis, oratoribus, scriptoribus, proferretur. Apud eos qui primas agunt sunt Cicero, cuius orationes sunt praeclarae; Virgilius, qui immortalem Aeneidem scripsit; Horatius; Ovidus; magnus Caesar; et alii. Ita Latinam studendo, hos duces stu di litterarum cognoscere disces. Studium Latinae, autem, fili mi, ceteras virtutes praeter pulchritudinem et his- toriam habet. Latina te putare docebit. Grammatica Latina difficilis intellectu erit nisi studebis; sed tibi tanti erit. Non modo Latinam faciliorem futuram esse, sed etiam Anglicam vestram meliorem facturam esse reperies. Vera, fili mi, cum Latinam dediceris, dignus eris qui lauderis. Paris, le seize mars Numero Seize, Rue de la Croix Ma Chere Yvonne, Comment allez-vous? Je vais bien. Maintenant je vais vous parler de ma premiere visite a Paris. Ce matin j ' etais reveillee par des voix criards qui montaient de la rue, et je n ' ai pas pu m ' endormir de nouveau. Alors je me suis habillee, et je suis entree dans la salle a manger pour mon petit dejeuner. Quand j ' avais mange mes petits pains it bu mon cafe au lait, j ' avais encore faim, mais je n ' osais pas me plaindre. En sortant de ma pension de famille, j ' ai pris un omnibus pour aller a la cathe- drale de Notre-Dame. C ' est une belle eglise avec deux belles tours. Notre-Dame de Paris est un des chefs-d ' oeuvre de I ' architecture gothique. Ensuite je suis montee dans I ' omnibus pour aller visiter le Louvre. Autrefois c ' etait un palais, la residence des rois de France. Maintenant c ' est le plus vaste et en meme temps le plus riche musee du monde. Dans les salles j ' ai vu des etudiants d ' art qui copiaient les beaux tableaux. Je marchais de long en large dans les grandes salles. Tout d ' un coup j ' etais affamee. II faisait si beau que je me suis decidee a faire une petite promenade. En flanant; j ' ai vu un petit cafe avec beaucoup de tables et de chaises ou les gens mangeaient en plein air. Je me suis assise a une table et j ' ai commande mon dejeuner. Apres avoir fini j ' ai paye I ' addition et j ' ai laisse un pourboire pour le garcon. Ensuite je voulais aller aux grands magasins pour acheter des cadeaux et des souvenirs de Paris pour mes amis aux Etats-Unis. Je me suis rappelee que vous voudriez avoir des gants et je vous en ai achete que je vous enverrai bientot. On m ' a parle d ' un magasin qui s ' appelle Le Bon Marche et d ' un autre qui s ' appelle Le Printemps. Je les visiterai tous les deux cet apres-midi. Aujourd ' hui apres avoir fait mes emplettes je partirai pour la Cote d ' Azur ou j ' y vais rendre visite a des amis qui y demeurent. Je compte m ' amuser beaucoup. Je vous ecrirai aussitot que j ' y arriverai. Apres un mois je retournerai a Paris ou je resterai une semaine. Alors je vous rendrai visite. Je vous enverrai mon adresse dans ma prochaine lettre. Ecrivez moi bientot. Votre amie, bien devouee, ROSE LEE CORNBLETH Page Ninety-eight FANTASY By Sibyl Waters There sits a small brown fairy, He writes a love song fair; His stool is a soft grey mushroom That is trimmed with mossy green hair. He writes with a twig dipped in dew drops, His paper is woven of dreams, And the pictures he draws beside it Are made as by angels it seems. His red is the blush of the rosebud, His gold the hue of the dawn, But the loveliest color of all Is the blue of the skies in the morn. While he sits he is gaily humming A lovely, lilting tune; It sounds like the notes of a bird That is lauding the coming of June. SYMPHONY By Anne Blum A symphony is like a river Rushing rashly over mountains, Dashing madly down a hilltop, Gushing music forth like fountains, Struggling, tearing now through hin- drance; Freed and running past a forest, Swinging gracefully near a village, Away to ramble — never rest. Gurgling merrily, rolling onward, Then into a cool and quiet place Where the breeze is gently blowing, Whipping the water on with grace. Calming its former ruffled spirit, Whispering softly out of the deep Till the river lies in its haven, Contented to be lulled to sleep. And as the river its way has wended, So our symphony is ended. Page Ninety-nine FORE! By Dalzell Schuyler Sally placed a score-card and pencil in her pocket. She stood by the swimming pool and sipped a cup of cool water, merely as a habit. Picking up her bag — be- ginners don ' t hire caddies — she hoped that someone might notice the clubs, matched Hagens, a complete set, Mother ' s, of course. Their vast number, three woods and eight irons, was rather appalling, but Sally supposed that the knowledge of their use would come. She waved goodbye to Sonny Boy and Grandpa, the lifeguards, and uttered a cheery See you soon, not at all daunted by the guards ' rather skeptical That ' s what you think look. Sally walked over to the first tee and looked for the red flag marking the destination of the ball. Oh, there it was away up on that hill! And there were two of the most adorable little valleys lying between Sally and the red flag. Must have been built for a mountain goat, thought she. Sally teed up her ball quite professionally. It was a gleaming white one, a Kro-flight , and the advertisements emphatically stated that anyone ' s game was immensely improved by its use. Now, for all the things to remember — arm straight, knee bent, and, oh yes! head down — she knew that it was vitally essential to keep one ' s head down. But how did one see where the ball went? Do you suppose one could raise one ' s head just a little and watch the ball out of the corner of one ' s eye? Sally carefully arranged her feet, wishing that she had shoes with spikes in them, but Mother had said that crepe soles would do until one was rather proficient. She knew that one must swing once before stepping up to the ball. Expecting a clean follow-through with a little swish of the air, Sally was somewhat Jolted when her club dug into about four inches of hard, very hard, earth. She gave a vigorous yank and the club unburied itself. But that is only my first attempt, and now I shall really hit the ball, thought Sally. Barely touched by the club, the ball rocked and toppled off the tee. I won ' t count that stroke, she said, secretly rejoicing that no one had seen her. She put the ball back on the tee and, with a mighty effort, hit, actually hit, the ball. It gave a little flop and staggered down the first valley. Jubilantly she started after it. Now, where is that baJI? Darn these weeds! Why can ' t they cut them? Maybe it ' s down a little farther — one never can tell. Oh, there it is! Surveying the elusive white object nestled in a clump of scratchy weeds on a forty-five degree hill-side, she took the brassie (Mother always used her brassie when she was in a tough spot) and balanced precariously on the slope. Sally discovered that one leg was much too short. Wouldn ' t it be nice if one had legs like those telescopes that fold up into nothing, or like one of those snappy little drinking cups that collapse without a moment ' s notice? thought she. After three more attempts, she was finally at the bottom of the first valley. Ascending the next hill, she left behind her a wiggly path of black blotches of moist dark earth, each with a little piece of turf lying near it. There ' s an idea for a swell detective story, thought Sally. Have the kidnapped man leave a trail for his rescuers by digging up little hunks of turf with his golf club — rather impractical, though, if he didn ' t happen to have a club along with him. Sally walked and swung vigorously, and vigorously swung and walked. At last! there was the red flag. Now she could use that quaint goose-neck putter. With the cup as her goal — oops! she hit a trifle too hard. Gee! not quite hard enough. Then the ball ran around the edge of the cup but declined to go in. On the fourth attempt it got down to business. Page One Hundred Now where in the world is the second hole? thought Sally. There ought to be signs on golf courses, for instance: ' Keep to Your Left, ' ' This Way, ' Danger Ahead. ' The sun was getting surprisingly warm and Sally ' s shirt was glued to her back. Her feet felt as if they weighed a ton or so, and she wondered how she had ever been so foolish as to leave her beloved swimming pool for a cross-country hike. The rest of the game was rather hazy but there was one incident that Sally would never forget. She had learned to hit at the ball, replace the turf, walk a few steps, hit again, replace the turf, walk — somewhat like those mechanical bears or whatnots that turn one somersault after another. The holes seemed endless, and for very few of them could Sally count the strokes on the fingers of her two hands. But No. 7, for instance: Par 5, 590 yards, a nice little jaunt. No. 7 was separated from No. 1 6 by a miniature forest, twenty or more small maple trees planted in a wedge. Locating her ball snuggled up to one of the healthy little saplings, she moved it a foot away. Penalty, one stroke. But whichever way she looked a tree blocked her ball ' s path to freedom (it was not the original ball, either, for it had disappeared holes ago). Sally gave the ball a sound thwack and hoped for the best. Evidently the ball was not in a good humour because it bounced off the trunk of a neighboring tree. Another thwack and it bounced off two trees. More fun, thought Sally. Rather like billiards, but much more exciting. You can never tell which one will be next. The third time was the charm and, lo and behold! the ball obligingly escaped from the entangling tree trunks. At the end of the hole, Sally contemplated her low score of 23 strokes. The action continued: Swing, replace turf, walk, swing, replace turf, walk. Sally was, if anything, steadfast. Many hours later, she presented a wilted edition of her former self to Sonny Boy and Grandpa. She stood by the swimming pool and greedily gulped countless cups of cool water, a necessity this time. Taking the score card and pencil from her pocket, she began to air her rusty mathematics. Oh, what ' s the use? thought Sally. The cool dancing water of the swimming pool beckoned to her. SHARING By Viola Garger The clouds are always giving rain, The sun, too, is giving, giving, And year by year the vines and trees Are fruitful for man ' s living. The singing brook gives of itself Till lost within the river; The loam is generous, and man alone Proves a begrudging giver. Oh heart, be as the sea, the sod, The clouds, the sun, forever giving, For those alone who love and give Do find this life worth living. Page One Hundred One SUCCESS? By Rita Furman A smile spread slowly over the countenance of Peter White as he sat in the Pullman car reminiscing his boyhood days. He ' d show them; although it had taken sateen years, he was on his way back to Fardale to have the last laugh on his home town friends. They had laughed, although they had had no ambition of their own- they had laughed when he had spoken of an imaginary literary career, but in about two hours and ten minutes he was going to laugh at them. Thev were probably still living m Fardale earning their living at the one factory Fardale boasted of, or as clerks, while he his chest rose unconsciously as he thought of it, was a writer residing in New York City. y Any one at this point might imagine him to be a successful New York author known throughout the country for his literary achievements. Actually he had just re- ceived a contract to write the daily short stories for the New York Times after a period ot sixteen years of almost continuous struggling for recognition. He had gone to New York City in the spring of the year 1920 expecting to be received by New York ' s literary world with wide open arms; instead the news- papers would not even be bothered with his numerous articles. Countless numbers ot his stories were returned by magazines and newspapers of all kinds. But he still remembered the time when his essay won the nation-wide contest sponsored by Better Foods Inc. with a first prize of five hundred dollars. The contest had been it must be confessed for amateurs only. He had spent two weeks on that masteroiece two weeks taken from his search for a permanent position as a short story writer ' How elated he had been! How confident that after that great event no editor would refuse him. But they had. Apparently they had not heard of his prize winning ' T u t xl P° L un 1 e6 f he P avements ' +° use a popular expression, for years after ward. What had he lived on? On a small sum he had inherited and on what he had earned working on various odd jobs. Still more clearly could he recall that mem- orable day when the New York Times finally made a contract with him He posed ,t was just fate that about the time he had decided to give up his precious ambitions, had arranged to have him accepted by the daily, or was it that his writing had improved with the years? Perhaps his overrated opinion of himself could be excused since to the citizens ot his town his actual position would appear marvelous. He resumed his day-dream- ing as he visualized a large picture of himself and a lengthy account of his career in the next edition o the Fardale Daily. He continued peacefully dreaming of a arge reception in the none too spacious hotel that was the delight of Fardale loyalists, until he was rudely awakened by the gruff inquiry of a porter as to whether he expected the train to stop all day in this sleepy little town? Of course no one had met him at the station, he argued with himself They had no idea I was coming This, while he was refreshing himself at the hotel. Later in the lobby he met the brother of David Jones, one of the boys who had laughed at his ambitions. ' Why hello, Peter, I hardly recognized you. When did you get back? Oh I got back a few hours ago. Where ' s Dave? _ Haven ' t you heard? He ' s been out in Hollywood for the last nine years play- ing ,n pictures under the name of Barry Stone. You ' ve surely seen his pictures ' Amazement appeared for a few seconds on his face, but he didn ' t allow it to stay there long. ' Page One Hundred Two Barry Stone! He had always noticed Barry Stone ' s resemblance to his old friend. Oh yes, of course, but what ever happened to Paul, the other member of our old triumvirate? He moved to Chicago with his family and the last we heard of him, he was a part owner in a large meat-packing concern out there. By the way, what have you been doing with yourself? Just in the newspaper business, Peter replied in a tone that could not belie his rapidly sinking heart. THE GHOST DOG By J. K. Carr Trapper Jean lived all alone except for the company of his dogs, Baldy and Jerry, in a little log cabin in the Rocky Mountains. One day Jean left Baldy and started to town to get some gunpowder. When he had gone about four miles, he heard the low howl of a wolf roll across the mountains. He knew if he could get to a vacant cabin up the trail he would be safe. Nearer and nearer, the mournful cries came. He could see his pursuers now! Like gray ghosts they were silouetted against the skyline! Turning abruptly, he fired. The distance was great, but the firing slightly checked their speed. Time and again, he wheeled and fired. With his last shot, he dropped the leader of the pack. He was now within forty yards of the shack, but suddenly — he froze with terror! There, not thirty feet from his destination, crouched a huge gray wolf ready to spring at Jean ' s next move. Suddenly Jerry rushed past Jean and sprang at a foe he knew could never vanquish. It was all over in a few minutes. The wolf was cut, but Jerry was dead. In the turmoil Jean had reached the shack and slammed the door. All the rest of the day and night the enraged wolves howled and fought among themselves. In the early morning they left in search of prey more easily acquired. Soon Jean decided to venture forth, but he did not forget his faithful dog who had saved him from a horrible death. Jerry was given as fitting a burial as could be given in that forlorn region. Two years passed. One day when Jean was hunting, he felt himself falling and then — a searing pain in his leg. He discovered that he had stepped into a badger-hole and had broken his leg. When he regained consciousness, there, not ten feet from him were three gray wolves growling; but something kept them from springing. What was it? A low growl came from behind Jean. He turned! Why! It couldn ' t be! Yes, it was — it was Jerry! One wolf came nearer, Jerry sprang at him while the other wolves watched. When Jean again regained consciousness, he was at Trapper John ' s cabin. Jean said, Where is Jerry? He saved my life. Jerry! Jerry who? John questioned. Jerry, my dog. John slowly drawled, I picked you up back in the woods about six miles from here. There were two dead wolves beside you, there were dog tracks, but there was no dog. Page One Hundred Three RATTLESNAKE DAM By Dorothy Bressler Rattlesnake Dam looked with condescension upon the valley below. The people of Rattlesnake Valley were prosperous ranchers, very much so. The soil was rich and fruitful, and their cattle increased great ly. They could raise most of the necessities of life without much trouble in that warm climate. All they de- sired was enough rain to furnish pasture and a yearly increase of cattle. Apart from most of the buildings, but close to the dam, stood a little shack, tumbled down, and showing many signs of neglect. Here dwelt old Jed Slade, first inhabitant of the valley: because of this, he claimed it all to be his. He looked upon the ranchers as robbers, and they considered him half-witted. All Jed desired, and he desired it no matter what the cost, was to get back the lands of which he had been robbed. High above the valley, lost in thought as he gazed below, sat a rider on a horse. This was Burt Powers, the gentleman rustler, who looked with greedy eyes upon the cattle in the valley. It had rained steadily for two months. The dam was swollen to bursting. One more good r ain would finish it. If the dam burst, the whole valley would be sub- merged. The ranchers hoped and prayed for fair weather to give the water a chance to abate. Old Jed didn ' t care, or he didn ' t take time to care, so engrossed was he in his own grievances. Powers wondered how he might turn this fact to his own use. That evening it looked as if there would be more rain. Clouds were piling up, and the inhabitants of the valley got ready for flight at an instance notice. No one would sleep that night! Most certainly Mr. Powers would not sleep, for he had found a way. In his opinion, the dam would hold any amount of water. It was raining hard when Jed heard a knock and almost immediately in stepped the smiling Mr. Powers accompanied by five other men, water dripping from them as though they were water spouts. Powers shook himself and nodded hello. Still smiling he pulled Jed to a chair and began a conversation. He talked for fifteen minutes. Afterwards, Jed sat motionless, and then, finally, Powers ' smile broadened. A flash of lightning revealed Jed leaving his cottage with the rain beating furiously against him. He hurried toward the various buildings, yelling loudly as he went. Windows opened, and heads stuck out. The dam is giving! Run for your lives! This wasn ' t quite true, yet, but it was part of Powers ' plan. No one hesitated, no one doubted him; their worst fears were being realized. Mounting their horses, they sped to safety, leaving the rustlers and Jed in possession of the valley. Jed, who had lain hidden as the ranchers sped away, joined the rustlers. He was jubilant for one reason; the rustlers, for another. He was going to get his valley back, because Powers had promised it to him; the rustlers were getting the cattle they had so long desired. The dam, up above, gapped suddenly. Crash! The rustlers jumped. Only thunder! they said aloud. Only the wind beating the rain against the house. However, Jed was uneasy, and peered out into the murky gloom. An ominous thud of thunder, a blinding flash of lightning, and Jed ' s scream, The dam has broken! The water is upon us! Escape was impossible, and in a short while the angry waters churned over the ruins of Rattlesnake Valley. Page One Hundred Four w ir IT HAS ME GUESSING By Florence Hermanson The weather certainly has played havoc with us this year and for once our eather man has been able to feel at peace with the world. If he said snow, it SNOWED. Nature decided to be generous with her weather offerings and gave us heaps of everything. I suppose this happened because the boys prayed for a snow to keep their sleds from rusting in the attics. Perhaps we wished it on ourselves. The old timers ridiculed us for feeling br-r-ry when a little wind blew. Why, they chorused, when we were young, we knew that winter was here because it snowed as high as the church steeple! Baron Munchausens, we thought, but we longed for a real snow to show them. We got it all right — in the neck. It snowed and snowed until we felt that we could truthfully be Baron Munchausens to the generation to come. There came cold wave upon cold wave, colds upon colds, and the ear muff companies experienced a boom. The weather man was no longer thought of as the prize pre- varicator and his face wore the unfamiliar-to-him expression, I told you so. Finally, Father Winter decided that he had punished us enough, and calling off his minions, Wind and Snow, he departed. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Alas! our joy was short-lived! School boys brought out their kites and longed for steady breezes. Presto! Bad weather came — March, old windbag that he is, be- came the patron of our kite-flying boys. He blew and blew. Many, mistaking March for a lamb, later found a lion under the lamb ' s clothing. They were taken unawares — the business of the cough drop companies swelled. Ushered in with March came that disease, spring fever, which always manages to get the pupils but never the teachers. What does the rest of the year hold in store for us? Will Spring decide to surprise us and come upon us suddenly with her chirping birds, sprouting trees, and blossome? Or will she, in keeping with the spirit of generosity, seek to drown us with torrents of rain? Will Summer seek to counteract Mate Winter ' s work (opposites at tract, you know)? Her helper, the Orb of the Heavens, may take great delight in showing us how Hades or the Inferno would feel. And what of Fall? How will she make her debut — as generously as Winter — covering us with leaves? Your guess is as good as mine, reader, and as correct, for that matter, as the weather man ' s surmise. Call me a pessimist if you will, but I expect the extreme in every season of this year. Nature has decided to be generous. FOAM BUBBLES By Chester Kessler Swirling masses floating high, White and frothy, pass me by, Round and shiny, sparkling bright; There, one bursts — a pretty sight. They bounce and spin, and one by one They flash and twinkle in the sun. Silver, blue, and gold they fly. They dance, delight — and pass me by. Page One Hundred Five TREASURES OF THE INDIES By Edward Scallet Its hold awash with the golden treasures of the Indies, the Spanish galleon, Santa Barbara, plowed on through the furrowed waves. The dancing rays of the silvery moon had long since disappeared from the sea — it was dawn. Soon the glint- ing shafts of the sun struck the shimmering water in the early promise of another day of blue heavens, green seas, and tropical heat. Below, the Santa Barbara was lazily coming to life; sailors were seeking relief from the sun in each tiny patch of shade as, suddenly, from the look-out in his precarious perch high above came the electrifying cry of Sail ho! A sudden bustle and stir of comment swept over the ship, to be replaced in a moment by dead silence. Tongues licked suddenly dry lips as the other vessel drew near. A foreign ship in these waters! Was it — could it be, the scourge of Spain, the idol of England, he whose very name struck terror into the hearts of even His Catholic Majesty ' s bravest soldiers; he, whose reputation had spread across half the world in the crimson wake of the Golden Hind ? The Captain ' s telescope fell from trembling hands. From his pale lips came the order, Clear the decks for action! It could mean but one thing — Francis Drake, the dreaded English sea rover, was upon them. The serene sun, undisturbed by man ' s petty strife far below, continued on his slowly rising arc. His piercing rays reflected from burning cannons onto sweating bodies as the two proud ships locked fast together. Men — brave men, their eyes alight with the fire of battle, clashed in desperate hand-to-hand combat, in the eternal struggle for gold. Guns roared; swords flashed; pistols cracked. Still the sun rose over this contest from which but one ship could come forth. Dying men groaned; triumphant shouts rang clear over muttered curses. Unmoved, the sun be- gan his descent into the blue horizon. All was still. In the growing dusk, the Golden Hind sailed on, its prow headed toward the fallen sun, its hold awash with the golden treasures of the Indies. NOTHING By Harold Kruse Oh! What shall I write? Oh! What will it be? I only know it must be tonight, But what, oh! what shall it be? The summer, our school? No, they ' d never do. Field day, graduation, or the swimming pool? Oh why, oh why, have we this to do? But wait! Look! What have I? Nothing but an ode on nothing; So I guess I ' ll close before I spy Something wrong with nothing. Page One Hundred Six PICTURE POSTCARDS By Martha Jakubiak You can answer a letter, although it ' s hard, And throw a circular into the yard, But what can you do with a postal card? Forever the demon who sent them lurches Over hotel desks and on mountain perches, Mailing you portraits of lakes and churches. They do not send them for love of you, They put their pens in their mouths and chew, With, Whom can I think of, to send this to? Cards hurtle like hurricanes through the air, Announcing that weather in Florida fair, Or, having a good time, wish you were there. What do I care if it ' s sun or thunder, Or if it ' s sheets or blankets they sleep under, Wouldn ' t the sod be better, I wonder? You can hang a criminal up at a yard, Or see that a kidnaper ' s feathered and tarred, But what of a pal, with a postal card? THE PACIFIST By Jean Houk Pete Smith kicked a hog from his path, spat disgustedly in the general direction of the booming guns on the next hillside, and seated himself in a creaking rocking chair. Pete was a pacifist and these were Civil War days, so he made the best of a bad situation by basking in the warm sunshine and thinking along more pleasant lines. The sound of the guns went down with the sun, and Pete felt at peace with the world as the rich crimson sunset deepened into the velvety purple of a summer dusk. It was then that he heard them. The first warning was the squeal of a pig. There was nothing unusual about a pig squealing, and, even if there were, Pete would have paid little attention to the incident because he was totally absorbed in the restful beauty of the summer evening. There was no mistaking the second warn- ing, and Pete had rounded his house ten seconds after his sorghum barrel had Page One Hundred Seven crashed to the ground. There he saw four of his neighbors, who took the Civil War more seriously then he did, wreaking destruction on his personal property. He tried to get his gun but failed to reach it, and ten minutes later he was sprawled on the ground with an aching head, watching his neighbors gallop off down the road Three weeks later he was again seated in the same rocking chair. It was a hot summer afternoon, and it seemed that the only living things able to stir in such heat were the insects chirping merrily in the fields and woods. Suddenly he steeled himself, for his acute ears had heard, far off down the road, the sound of horses ' hoofs. He didn ' t move a muscle as his visitors of three weeks before rode through his front gate, and he looked on calmly as they did away with his remaining live- stock. But minute beads of sweat oozed out on his forehead as the destructive four reached the sorghum barrel. He braced himself against his chair as an axe glinted in the sunlight. His face was tense and his neck one mass of corded muscles as the axe struck, but he instantly relaxed as a terrific explosion rocked the countryside. Pete sat in perfect silence for the better part of tweny minutes. Presently a slow smile spread over his features as he watched four riderless horses saunter off down the road.
