Cultural Clubs SENIOR HONOR SOCIETY In 1927. our school petitioned the National Honor Society for an active chapter in that organization. When the necessary records were submitted and examined, the high school at that time was deemed worthy of the possession of this institution. The purpose of this society is four fold: to promote and incite greater interest in scholarship: to seek out real leadership within the student body: to foster fellowship within the students as a group; and to emphasize the fact that a high type of character is a most necessary adjunct to the cultured individual. Since the installation of the charter members, a total of 187 persons have been elected to the local chapter from the various graduating classes. STANDING: Kenneth Shick. Clark Truman. Jerry Allen.

Athletics BASKETBALL The 1942-1943 basketball season at Brookville began with great uncertainty as the team didn't know from one week to the next whether a game would be played or whether there would be a coach. With all these hardships and trials to spur them on. the Varsity compiled a record that makes everyone proud. The team played 16 scheduled games, winning 14 of these. They engaged in two playoffs, winning one and losing one. This makes a total of 15 won to 3 lost. The boys scored 68 7 points against their opponents’ 58 3. The team worked under two coaches: Mr. Stockdale. who coached them for the first seven games, then enlisted in the Navy: and Mr. Wilhelm, who handled them through the remainder of the season.

The club s standing in these matches has risen from class D through class C to our present standing at the top of class B. There are about two hundred teams competing in these matches, and are classed with the highest twenty-five percent in the A group, the next twenty-five percent in the B group and so on. Thus it can be seen that our team has a fairly high standing with other clubs. As the team finishes up the last N. R. A. (National Rifle Association) match of the season. we enter another regional match with Du-Bois. Clearfield. Kane. Rimersburg. and New Castle. If conditions permit, the winner of this match will go to State College to shoot the State championship match, which is held about the first week of April. The officers this year are: president— Arthur Slagle: vice president—Roy Harriger: secretary—Bob Kroh: treasurer—John Faulks: range officer—Clark Truman. The sponsors are Mr. Charles H.

Those were the days when the girls were taller than the boys and when we didn’t have the poise and dignity which we now possess! We found our home-rooms in the Senior High building, some going to Miss R'am's. some to Mr. Peterson’s, some to Mr. Gibb s, and the rest to Mr. Wingert’s. In a few weeks, much to our distress, th? upper classmen initiated us. They made us stooo to go under a wooden horse. How they WHAM-ED us. Then Earl Thompson, the Senior class president, made a speech to us. Ed Stanley was the chairman of the first meeting in the gym to organize our class. The officers were as follows: president. Jane Carrier: vice president, Kenneth Shick: secretary. Winnie McCurdy: and treasurer. Joan Goble. On December 19. 1939. the new Elementary School was dedicated. Then our home rooms were changed to what is now the Junior High building. Now Mr. Phillips also had a home room. A mile post in our high school careers came when ' Jock'' Sutherland, football coach at the University of Pittsburgh, dedicated the gymnasium in memory of Andy” Hastings. Our championship basketball team this year consisting of Blanford Mooney. George Munro, Tom Warner. Tom Galbraith and Bob Fuller, won the District IX title by defeating Warren at Kane. A gang of us went in a chartered bus over the snowy roads to Pennsylvania’s Ice Box.” Things which made school life more interesting during the year were Mr. Peterson’s classes having court trials a great many Fridays, study halls in the auditorium, hot lunches, the music festival, the art exhibit and style show. The gym exhibition under Miss Mitchell and Mr. McGinniss was thrilling. The girls went through motions to A Bicycle Built For Two” and the boys did a marching exercise using sticks. This year our class had the champion girls’ volleyball team with Jean Mehrten as our captain. Our band was made pretty snappy! They raised money and bought neat maroon uniforms. —Mr. Tomb got a white director's uniform. Something extra was added: four strutting major ettes. During the four years of our high school career. Jeanne Fulton. Joan Goble. Betty Ent. and Dorothy Cunningham were majorettes and in our Junior and Senior years, animated Winnie McCurdy was the head majorette! Jeanne Fulton and Blanche Stee’.e were cheer leaders. Some of the girls from our class sang in the chorus for Commencement, where they sang The Blue Danube.” On the last day of school, there were two picnics. The bus students had one at Caok For si while the remaining members had one at Clear Creek. Mr. Peterson, Mr. Tomb, some of the boys and some of the parents took cars. We had a swell time—cold water—rain! All in all. we made a pretty good showing for ourselves in our first year at Brookville High School. Now we were Sophomores and we felt we knew the ropes pretty well—as least better than those green Freshmen. On September 18. 1940. we elected officers. Ed Stanley was the new president. Miriam Holt the vice president, June Irvin the secretary and Phillip Wells the treasurer. By now we were quite well settled in Mr. King’s. Mr. Zimmerman’s. Miss Hall's, a id M s. Allen’s home rooms. The only important class project this year was the Hallowe'en party in the school gym. Jeanne Fulton was the party chairman. There was a Hall of Horrors, bobbing for apples, and bingo. Mr. Zimmerman took charge of the games and Miss Hall and Miss Allen helped with the refreshments. Mr. Wilkins was the football coach and Mr. McKnight was the basketball coach and he also started the track team. Miss Mitchell coached the girls in volleyball. Beatrice McBryar was our captain. In the gym exhibition this year, the girls were in a scarecraw dance which was really crazy and the boys were in a sailor dance. Some girls were elected into the Tri-Hi Y. Sub Deb, True Blue, and both boys and girls were elected into the Junior National Honor Society. Student council was organized this year. We had two representatives from each home-room. The Seniors had one representative-at-large. Features CLASS CALENDAR Mr. Tomb had a rhythmic swing band. Bill Wilson. Howard Morrison, and Bob Matson played for it. Their theme song was 'You Tell Me Your Dream.’’ They played “Stop. It’s Wonderful” at the music festival and got all our parents ”In the Mood.” A celebrity visited our school in mid-winter and played for us. This was Betty Jane Atkinson, concert violinist and violinist in Stokowski’s youth orchestra. She was really wonderful. We had a hard, cold winter during which the heating system broke, giving us a few day’s vacation to ice-skate. Finally the robins came north and we all got spring fever. After cramming for final exams and erasing all the marks from our books, the school term of '40-’41 ended for us. Now Paul Junior and David Junior and Jerry Junior didn’t mind being called Juniors” because they could insist it referred to the eleventh grade. Our home-room teachers this year were Miss Hall. Miss Allen. Miss Smathers. Miss Mc-Fadden. and Mrs. Smith. School didn’t open until very late this year because of the infantile paralysis quarantine. One of our classmates. Jean Mehrten, contracted the disease but was able to continue her studies at the D. T. Watson home in Leetsdale. Pa. We again elected our officers for the year. They were: president. Jane Carrier: vice presi-dnt. Bill Wilson; secretary. Winnie McCurdy, and treasurer. Blanche Steele. We started out right away to make money. We sold candy and ice cream at the games, and after some of the games we sponsored dances. This year Margaret Deemer represented us among the cheer leaders. The Student Council got some initiative and bought a juke box for use in the gym and obtained informal dismissal for us. In May. we showed our talent when “The woodland animals mingled with an evergreen ceiling of hemlock. Francis Patt’s orchestra was on a woodland stage. Now our Junior year was over and as we carried our report cards home, we were very sorry that the Seniors would not be with us next year. We were really on our own. “Seniors at last.” we bragged as with dignity we walked into the Senior home rooms of Miss Sandt. Miss Reicherter, Miss Black and Miss Taylor. We organized with the following officers: president. Kenneth Shick: vice president. Ellen Smith: secretary. Jane Carrier, and Blanche Steele again held the money bag. Our first vacation came in the latter part of October when the teachers had to go to school. Some of the members of the girl’s chorus sang a few numbers and some members of the band participated in an all-county band for Institute. The Cotillion Club gave the first big dance of the year at Hallowe’en time. Some of our mem bers, Joan. Miriam. Lola and Jane braved it as clowns. Indians, and witches. Other Seniors came dressed in suits, high heels, etc. Cider, donuts, and a mad scramble for balloons made the evening a success. The war brought the necessity for air raid drills. At various times classes were interrupted by the raid gong and we went to gym and the lower halls. Then came the big event! The Tri-Club formal—what a night—what a morning! About nine o’clock the couples started wading through the snow, with the girls in long dresses and toeless shoes! Everyone finally arrived at the ”Y” gym which was decorated in red. white and blue. Wc were received by the club presidents and chaperons. We jived and jumped to the romantic rhythm of a juke box. As the clock reared twelve, we drank (cokes) and chewed at pretzels and potato chips. Then we winded our way home through the stormy night or morning. Our assembly programs were made much more interesting this year with each home room taking charge of one program. Miss Carrier had the Thanksgiving program. Miss Taylor had the Christmas and Miss Reicherter the Lincoln’s birthday program. The first period. Friday. December 11. we had our first pep meeting. Coach Stockdale made a speech and introduced our players and then the captain. Dick “Cud” Mumford gave us a pep talk saying. “Now you have seen us in our street clothes, if you want to see more of us. come to the game tonight when we play Sandy.” There was a great roar and he realized he had said something wong. Alas! Too late to correct. Christmas was over and the new year arrived with maiy resolutions. Come what, come may— Time tells all tales!

CLASS PROPHECY Note: Any similarity to any person living or dead is entire intentional. Joan Goble had just died. She rested in peace with the rest of the fortunate class of 43. It was October 31. 2003. when her spirit joined those of former classmates in the ghoul haunted woodlands of Weir.” There was a full moon and a faint yellow light gave a soft, ghostly color to the mists that shrouded the dim Lake of Auber in the woodland of Weir. But on this night an even more ghostly strangeness pervaded the atmosphere. The lake, usually smooth and glasslike, was for the first time turbulent and muffled noises issued from its depths. Then the lake waters reared up and out of the foarming floods came airy spirits. Above the noise of the waters a voice spoke. Many years ago it was prophesied that when the last of the class of ‘43 should die. you would all meet on the shore of this lake. Behold the last of you comes. Then out of the fog filled air a green and haunting spirit came hovering over the lake. And as it approached, closer and closer, the lage gradually became the smooth waters that it should be. Among the many spirits on the shore one. who was ever flitting about muttering to herse'.f. shouted out in a loud voice, All’re here! All re here! Now let us see what each one was—what each was to be in his own life. “Be quiet. Spirit, who ere you be. the green spirit said, and give your identity that aU may know who spoke—and then time to learn if all agree before you speak again. Gobcl, the one Elaine Gobel.’ the spirit said. I was a nurse, you know ... Quiet! Did I not tell you not to speak? Do all agree?” “We do! We do!” all cried I was a nurse as I started to say—O. my former patient, Jane Alcorn, died on my hands.— FLEE! FLEE! I was a doctor. Kenneth Shick said. Many years I worked to build my hospital and my reputation. Any many years I enjoyed fame. But one day fate intervened. Glenn Sibley. George Woods. Lelia Light and Helen Lingenfel-ter came to my clinic. I diagnosed their cases as curable, but only after delicate operations and drug treatments. But my nurse. Louise Budno-vich. administered too much ether to Lelia Light. Now she hovers on yon shore. To add to this, Orpha Davis became careless during the operation of Glenn Sibley. The knife slipped; now I am haunted by him forever. Helen Lingenfelter and George Woods progressed nicely from the operation and were now ready for the drug treatment. So I placed the order with Dorothy Cunningham, the nation's leading pharmacist. But to relate it briefly, to my great sorrow, the remaining patients, my good friends, succumbed from the drugs.” And I too. spoke Dr. Paul Smith. I was given charge of treating a large herd of show cattle and hogs. They were fed the medicine prepared by Miss Cunningham and then they died.” O. why, why must these two haunt me, moaned Dorothy. Must they always follow me? Am I to be haunted forever for my mistakes? Dorothy faded into the gloom followed by Dr. Shick and Dr. Smith. An odor of gasoline permeated the shore; a flaming red spectre appeared and spoke. In life I was Jerry Allen who has lain many years in the grave. Death came quickly to me. I was Features killed by an explosion of gasoline which I was delivering to the firm of Slagle and Truman. After I passed away, my business was taken over by my two secretaries, Isabelle Hendricks and Alice Antonucci. I see them floating about on the far end of the shore.” And as the spirit retreated into the gloom, two more spectres appeared from the mass of ghosts. They were Slagle and Truman, the owners of the airplane factory of the same name. ‘Years ago I built planes.” said Slagle. “Truman here, designed them. What planes!! George Smail almost lost his life testing them. Our last design scared him to death.” ” The planes weren’t too bad.” interrupted the ghostly Truman. “Russ Byerly won the war of 1990 with them. And then considering those foremen. William Neel, Bob Steele and James Wilson, why, they had the wings where the tail ought to be: I don't know whether it was I or they. Paul Cook, you know, fixed the radios in them.” I’ll say he fixed them.” laughed Slagle. “Hey. Slagle.” yelled Truman, “you'd better keep quiet! Look behind you!” “Well.” continued Slagle. “Dick Fenste-maker furnished the coal and Margaret Faulks and Mary Jane McManigle were our secretaries. I don’t know whether they could make out our figures or not.” “Our tires were the thing. Slagle,” spoke I ruman. “With that rubber we purchased from Pat Bullers and Josephine Evans’ firm, the Sympathetic Rubber Company, we needed sympathy.” “Don’t forget me,” wailed another spirit, Dick Siar. “You know very well the United States rained so many bombs on the Japs in 1943-1944 that it took me fifty years to clean out the streets of Tokyo. Remember, that’s where you got all the iron you needed.” The spirits mingled with the rest again and the fitting form of Helen Ferry came forth. “I was once the president of the United States.” Helen sa;d,—‘ back in that day when people decided to turn the government over to the women. I had a host of my good friends to assist me. For instance Martha Mohney was vice president.” “I.” Martha Mohney spoke, “always had to tell President Ferry what to do. She had no idea of how to run the government.” ”1 did so,’ retaliated Miss Ferry. You didn’t.” “I did.” “You didn't.” The voice died off into the distance. “O well, let them fight it out.” broke in another spirit. Ellen Smith. ”1 was the Secretary of Treasury and Freda Fiscus. my assistant. We argued back and forth about what to do with the tax money. We decided to buy clothes, and boy. we were the cause of that great financial crisis.” “Bob Scott, the Secretary of Labor, was the only man in the government. During his period of administration he had the nation tied down with strikes. Jeanne Smith was Secretary of War. She was determined to declare war on nearly every nation of the world. It was only the weight of my influence that prevented her doing so. Evelyn Carberry was kept busy filing treaties for two years.” But the real event of this period was the revolution between the W.A.A.C.'s and the W.A.V.E.’s which now superceded the regular Army and Navy.” broke in Margaret Blake. “I was commander of the W.A.V.E.'s: Jane Carrier of the W.A.A.C.’s. This war was unusual due to the fact that guns gave way to rolling-pins. Miriam Ford was put in charge of rolling-pin production at her new Ford plant: Ruth Plyler sold them secretly to both sides.” “And. yes.” said Jane Carrier, “I guess I ended that war quickly: the rolling-pin that I threw hit Admiral Blake on the head and the war ended then and there. The only casualty of the war was Bob McManigle.” “And because we were not given places in the government.” interrupted two more ghosts. Marjorie Caldwell and Marjorie Richards, we criticized it severely in our paper, but it didn't do any good. Things went from bad to worse.” And I slaved ot death.” broke in Jean Covert, former society editor of the Washington Daily News, because society ceased to be.” “Why people even stopped coming to the Library of Congress.” said Louise Henderson. Li-brar.an of that famous establishment, “just because we were afraid of being hit by the rolling-pins that were continually flying between buildings. The worst part of it all was the fact that neither I nor my assistant. Mary Barnett, could do a thing about it.” June Irvin and Helen Horton ran the department of agriculture. They put the nation on a starvation diet and made the people think they were well fed. Ruby McCullough was secretary of state. She set up what she thought was a Good Will Policy” toward the rest of the world but it turned out the reverse. O fortunate we. who did not live in this chaos,” cried out many who had died before the period came into existence. But I. O you who died before this,” said Fred Coy. at least was elected president and after five terms in office. I finally succeeded in straightening out the tangled affairs left by President Ferry. In addition to this great service. I sent David Reid to collect the uncollected war debts incurred in 1942-’43-'44. After threatening many countries with destruction, he finally succeeded in his mission.” Feat uces You. O green spirit, who are you,?” wailed out the ghostly group. “You that are the last of us. Why do you keep yourself secret?” The green color waned and the transporent white of a ghost emerged. ”Oh.” sighed the spectres. Goble! Joan Goble!” Joan Goble.!” screamed a ghost from behind. she killed me! She who operated on my brain, believing she could cure me of my ills. Now. I shall have my revenge.” Swiftly rushed Miriam Holt toward Joan Goble. Away flew the ghosts into the darkness: thunder and lightening rolled and flashed in their wake. Terror-filled, all the ghosts cowered in the mists. And as the thunder and lightning faded into the distance, the spirits came out of hiding. Let us leave here.” said Fred Coy. 'Tst these two fearful, fighting spirits return and disturb our peace. And too. is this not the eve of All Souls? Let us visit the earth that we once knew.” Come, let us go.” cried the spirits. Out of the mists rose the ghosts and into the moon-filled sky they fled. On they flew until they came to Brookville. now a small hamlet, lying peacefully in the hills. Where is the five and ten? It is gone, gone.” wailed Helen Miller. And the candy counter where I worked, sighed Betty Ent. And I was going to eat my fill tonight: they would have never known who did it.” “Heck.” said Dick Weaver, my ice cream stare is gone too. Might have known I couldn't have trusted Ruth Fitzsimmons to carry on the business.” Well, how could I? I died the day after you did. Mr. Weaver. My store still stands, though.” said Florence Snyder.” even if the windows are boarded up.” I suppose it had to be done. I had but three customers. Martha Spangler. Margaret Swineford and Delores Van Dervort. When they died, business was gone. There was nothing else for me to do but die. So I did.” Hey. there, my antique shop.” said Wesley King excitedly, but. my gosh! That old chait is still there. I pushed all my stock onto Erma Jean Kelso. Phyllis Kirkman and Clarence Lottie. But that Lettic guy brought the chair back, said he couldn’t sit on it. and I never sold it. By the looks of things, nobody else d!d either. Another valuable piece that I had was an oid worm-eaten desk which Florence A!corn used in teaching her studious pupils their daily Latin lessons. That is the only thing I ever sold. Let’s go to New York. I gotta see my old territory.” said Bill Wilson. “Yea. here it is. Car negie Music Hall. I directed the N. B. C. Orch estra here. I had an awful time with the musici- ans. Marlene Smith insisted on doing a solo all the time instead of playing with the rest of the violins. Lola Sibley got so mad at her she smashed a violin over Marlene’s head: then after that trouble was straightened out. Jo Ann McDonald and Lucille Shaffer turned on sound e. fects to ruin the concert. I got so darned mad that I blew up and well—here I am. After hovering over New' York City for a few hours, the group of ghosts vanished. A few minutes later they appeared in the long-since deserted town of X —. “Only the church is left.” sighed Dave Shields, only the church. And it was such a fine town. And the wonderful congregation I had. Oh, yes. 1 remember the first church service I held in it back in 1960. Anna Luther was the organist. Stella Geist. Jean Keirn and Jeanne Gelnette made up the excellent choir. But I did have an appreciative audience. I remember that Caroline Roman. Kathryn Shaffer. Emma Sar-vey and Marie Sebring were the only ones that could stay awake during the sermons. Every time I looked down the aisle. I saw George Lendyok sleeping on the floor. Howard Morrison never reached the church—he cracked up on the way and spent Sunday in jail. Then in the middle of the sermon in walked Bob Kroh and James Peterson all dressed up in coonskins.” Boy! Were those the good old times! interrupted Kroh. did I ever tell you about the time- -?” Now wait a minute. Kroh.” said Reverend Shields angrily. What’s the idea of interrupting me? This is church.” Dave continued. “Kroh and Peterson told me that George Knapp. Dick Nelson and Ira Shovestull were arguing over a checker game in the entrance. Well. I went out and tried to drag them in to listen, but I couldn't There they stayed for years over that one game. Imagine!” I always took a great pleasure in marriages. I remember my first week in this town as an outstanding one. Jeanne Fulton came to me on Monday and told me she was going to be married for the fifth time. She had outlived her other four husbands. The next day Ruth Gould appeared and said that after three unsuccessful trials, she finally was going to be married. The next two marriages in my congregations were those of Margaret Deemer and Marian Chitester, both of who married wealthy men. But. I am sorry to say, they moved away. I received my biggest surprise when Ro! rt Matson came to me and asked if I couldn't help him decide a very important problem—whom to marry: Judy Wilson or Ludy Morrison. I told him that I couldn’t help because if I did. one or the other was sure to be mad at me. So he left. I guess the old ghost still hasn't decided for ne is still scratching his head.” Features The richest person in my congregation was Mrs. Phyllis Whittall Bowser, widow of the late William Bowser. She always sat in the front pew. just so I could see she came. Evelyn Weiss always sat beside her. She was an old maid and there’s 3 story why. She wouldn’t marry anyone who wouldn’t live in this town and because no one who would marry her would live here, she preferred to remain an old maid. Her excuse for this action was that she just had to hear my sermons.” “Now I must tell you about the church festival we held one year. We were going to serve ice cream at the affair, the milk being furnished from the dairy herds of Paul Shobert. Bill Chamberlain and Dale Swineford. But the night before in walked Paul Shobert to my study to tell me the tragic news that his Guernsey cows had kicked over every last bucket of milk on his place. After his departure, in tramped Bill Chamberlain only to tell me that all his cows had gone dry. While we were talking. Dale Swineford called and told us that he had only enough milk to make one gallon of ice cream. O. K.’, I told him. make the dessert and we will eat it ourselves.” Well, windbag, after that sermon, maybe I can say what I started.” said Kroh. “As I was saying, did I ever tell you about the time Jim Peterson and I went elk hunting in the north woods? We spent several weeks hunting our “speciman.” When at last we found him. a gigantic beast, he gave us the slip, so Jim and I started trailing him. We got lost and spent three months trying to find ourselves. Then we found the tracks; this time we were hot on the trail. We finally cornered him at the Elks Convention in St. Louis.” “There’s the stadium down there.” exclaimed Joan Reed. “Evelyn Bukovac and I spent three years writing a book on sports. I wanted to be in the right atmosphere; we had an awful time. When it rained, the ink blurred; when it got warm, the ink dried up; and when it got cold, the ink froze. But I did get good material and Evelyn Bukovac got good pictures. The first year I spent in the stadium. Bob Walker became the track champion—he really burned up the track. That's the reason they're so many cinders on it. After that Beatrice McBryar brought her soccer team here to play. It consisted of Evelyn Mc-Cowin. Nellie Cowan. Beatrice Shovestull. Flo Silvis and Bonlan Wayland. And what a soccer team it was! When the girls ran out onto the field, they began to fight among themselves and all 1 could hear was. “Socker! Socker!” The next year one-man baseball teams played the world series: Bob Swineford versus Bruce Keihl. Swineford won 0-0. Ken Emerick kept the scores but that wasn’t much of a job. The same summer, Theodore Himes, world champion heavyweight boxer, fought the champion wrestler. Joe Francheschi. They both got all twisted up.” Early that fall a car race was held here. Bob Carner drove so fast that his car left the track, flew out over the stadium and that’s the last I’ve seen of Garner until I met him here.” “Ken Corbin’s football team of Hail played against Dick Mumford’s team. Rain. That game resulted in quite a storm, let me tell you. Dr. Paul Schmoyer spent several years after that game getting the kinks out of the players’ muscles.” “Several days after this game. Roy Harriger put on a marksmanship exhibition. Afterwards he was obligated to buy windows for every building in town.” The audience was interesting, too. During those years we sat in the bleachers, we met Joanne Case, owner of the Cast Cutlery Company, and also Sue Barnes and Maxine Rhodes who sent Wall Street into a financial crisis during that period of chaos which has been described earlier.” Over Chicago the spirits went. As they flew over Bob Wayland’s firm, the Chicago Stock Yards, he spoke. “Hey. that steer I wouldn’t let them kill is still living down there. I’ll bet he’s a tough old baloney, by now.” On the other side of the city.” sai(J Bob Hoffman. “Rogene Harmon. Arnold Hetrick and I had our physics laboratory. We were the first scientists to reach the ‘absolute zero.’ At this temperature, all matter ceases to be. So did we.” “See, the dawn comes, we must go.” cried out several ghosts, “you all know if the bright sun rays shall shine down on us. we must wait on earth until the moon is full again. O. let us go, come, away!” Across the ever brightening sky they flew onward through space until once again they saw the woodlands of Wier and the mist shrouded banks of the dim lake of Auber. As they floated down to the shore, they saw lying by the water’s edge two prostrate ghosts. Miriam Holt and Joan Goble. “Are we all here?” asked one of the ghosts. “We are.” said another. “All here but one.—Winnie McCurdy,” spoke a third, “late again, no doubt, and caught in the morning sun. Now she must wait until the moon is full again ere she can come.” Again the lake became turbulent; waves crashed against the shore and into the waters plunged the ghosts. Then the lake returned to its smoothness and again a great silence brooded over Auber and Wier. Only the trees stood as witnesses, to remain silent forever.
