It forms the setting for my first meeting with Brown. While Ioseph was interpreting the Pharoh's dream, Brown was narrating in a loud stage whisper, the exciting experience of hopping a street car. Soon everyone's at- tention was directed to her. The Sunday School teacher was rudely stranded in the following discussion of that wonderful movie and the party last night. It happened, not because Brown was especially rude, but because she was so full of life and energy that sitting still, even for five minutes, was excruciating torture. Most of my other early remembrances of her had the church as a setting, for we sel- dom met elsewhere. There was the time of the annual supper. Brown and I happened to be among those serving. Under her able leadership, we smuggled two pies upstairs into the churdh auditorium, performed a mock wedding ceremony with some of the boys who had poured coffee, ate the pies and left the plates on one of the pews, and in general, a good time was had by all . I suppose it was all rather sacrilegious, but we argued effectively with our consciences and soothed things out. At a later date in high school I was lucky enough to see quite a bit of Brown. Nfl. L E TJIIY Like wine, she got better with age and proved to be a lady and a scholar. She had a remarkable system for study. I can't ever remember her coming to class unprepared, and, strangely enough, she was prepared well. Ninety-eights and ninety-fives were de- finite evidence when marks came out. If Brown was called upon to do any- thing for someone else, she did it at once. And because she did work this way, she en- joyed her play, providing a happy companion for anyone fortunate enough to know her. I've often tried to do the same thing, but I fail everytime and go on letting work pile up, worrying about it, and then spending three or four precious hours doing it. To get back to Brown. She never should have had that for a name. When you think of brown, you think of a drab, uninteresting color. When I think of Brown, I think of a person sparkling with health and filled with a zest and a love for life. She reads good books and likes good music. She has an uncommon pleasing per- sonality. Shels not an intimate friend, for shels wise enough not to let that happen. Instead she is an understanding one. To those of you whom I am talking I give this challenge. Look around you for some Browns. Try to find the sparkle of friendship beneath a dull exterior finish. BARBARA BURNS 4 , WZ, ,, 8 JANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE THE TENTH MAN As summer comes to start the fire Of baseball's annual show, As placid humans choke with ire And feel their senses go, I drink a toast to the man in blue, The umpire, if you please- He's just a guy like you or you And not a hunk of cheese. In know you think he's dumb and blind, ' But before you raise a howl, Consider your state of mind- Perhaps that was a foul. And if you still would climb his frame And claw him into bits, Remember that the ump is game And handy with his mitts. RONALD E. STILLMAN TO LISTEN OR NOT TO LISTEN Have you ever taken a casual glance at the members of a congregation in a small rural church during even the most interest- ing services? If you have, you have probably noticed that a goodly number have found diversions other than listening to the minis- ter. As the sermon starts about ten members take off their glasses and begin to remove imaginary dirt. Having made sure that his are clean, the church treasurer begins to count the collection and catch up on the church records, while a young Sunday School teacher makes out papers for her class. Mean- while, the choir director is picking out the music for the next week and two male mem- bers of the choir are fighting it out to see who is the checker champion. The rest of the choir is reading or passing notes as is a goodly number of the congregation. A stately looking gentleman near the back of the church scans the choir and scowls. Having succeeded, he changes his position, puts his head against the back of the hard seat, and in a few minutes does not know what is happening around him. He is rudely awakened shortly, however, as a bevy of damsels seated in back of him giggle at a picture which they have just drawn. Sudden- ly the gaze of everybody turns toward a late comer as he tip-toes down the aisle to a front pew, and later, toward an usher who is struggling to open the window. The 'whole of the attention is then turned toward the minister as he finishes his sermon, and then, as if on signal, everyone clears his throat. As the service ends, all the inattentive mem- bers rush to the door to be the first to con- gratulate the minister. I wonder if it would not be better if all of them took the hint of the anonymous Writer who says: The Worst wheel of the cart makes the most noisef' MERVIN LOXTON IAZZ AND THE SPIRIT OF THE DAY Your hit parade is on the air! Are you a faithful follower of this weekly radio pro- gram? Do you write the names of the three most popular songs of the week on a penny post card and send them to station WBL? You, too, may be another jazz-lover, but have you ever wondered what inspired musicians to create this gay, frivolous rythm? Well, my theory is contained in the fact that popular songs are inspired by the spirit of the day. Truly, we find from time to time vocal outbursts which have a real signifi- cance in reflecting the spirit, customs, man- ners, and moral ideals of the times. We might take for our overture the song Smiles, written in 1917, followed by My God How The Money Rolls In. Both songs had a direct and intended relation to the times- but with the panic of 1929 their exuberant popularity ended with a crashing finality. Regardless of this disaster, jazz continued with the universally familiar Brother, Can IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE 9 You Spare A Dime becoming the leading vocal cry. Composed during the depression, you can readily see-those of you who are well acquainted with its words, that it cer- tainly must have been inspired by the bank- closings, money hoardings, and even the piti- ful sight of ragged men selling apples on street corners. Occasionally it was sung with bitterness, but it conformed itself more close- ly to the American spirit on the occasions when it was spoken with humor, mirth sus- tained under hard conditions. For the boon of the decade, we would naturally be obliged to return to the old ditty, My God, How The Money Rolls In-but we all are certain that during aperiod of easy money, the spirit of the day was in Makin' Whoopee. As the former expressed the economic joyfulness, so did the latter express spiritual recklessness. In the late twenties a new source for popular songs arose, those written as theme songs for the talking pictures whose purpose was mainly to aid lovers and Sweethearts. The general effect was to create self-pity and lament about life. Helen Kane, a pert little vaudeville singer, achieved her fame by in- serting meaningless syllables such as boop- a-doop here and there in her song. In accepting so far as you can my theory that popular songs are inspired by the spirit of the day, why not analyze the connection between our up-to-date songs and the spirit of our era? Do not listen to these hit tunes without thinking about them. Have an in- quiring mind concerning their economic and social background. In other words, sing and be happy, but know what you are singing about. RUTH BROWN FEET Ballet feet, Hat feet, Chinese feet, big feet, small feet--there are so many feet of different types' and characters. The tall, skinny girl has long, bony feet, and she toes in selfconsciously when she walks. The football hero has large broad feet and some- times a few hammer toes for decoration. The society charity ball sponsor has short, fat feet, which she squeezes into black satin opera pumps two sizes too small and which look painfully uncomfortable and top-heavy. Of course there are the Astaire-Rogers mil- lion dollar feet. Then there are the campus feet-unshapely but by far the most content. PRISCILLA LAFLAMME RENDEZVOUS Elusive and intangible, a moonbeam walked through the dark paths of night, bringing peace to earth men. It tinted the leaves of the quivering aspen with silver and glided among the rushes at the lower end of a lake, revealing a doe and her fawns. It rested on the ripples of the water, then shed its light on the figure of a solitary man sitting on the beach. It caressed the night 10 IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE into almost unbearable beauty, and the man spoke softly. ' Moonbeam, I suppose that idealism is a stage that everyone goes through. Some of us build our thoughts so high that nothing can touch them, and others come tumbling down almost as soon as they are erected. The foundations of some of our ideals are firm, those ofothers are built on earth-work no stronger than your light. Mine are still strong. That's why I'm sitting here enjoying the beauty you have made. After reading An Apology for Idlers, I feel more than justi- fied in doing so. No answer. You know, Moonbeam, you might be one of us. One of us idealists, I mean. You've a never-ending job on your hands just as we have. No matter how much lovli- ness you make tonight, your old cousin, Sun, will change it all with a few strong charges from his sun-ray machine. We build our loveliness too, and after repeated shots from practicalness we're done for a day. But we come back, and sometimes we Win. That's why I feel rather sorry for you, Moonbeam, something bigger than yourself controls you. Father Moon is taking you away already. It's dark now, but 'Out of the night that covers me, Black as a pit from pole to pole I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul' H. BARBARA BURNS THAT DREADED MOMENT Being called down to the ofhce is noth- ing unusual, and experiences similar to this one are probably not uncommon. The telephone rings during English class and everybody glances up to see who is a public enemy now. After answering the tele- phone the teacher turns around, and with a shock you find that YOU are the victim as she' says, You are wanted at the P. A. Unite- You're out of your seat and ready to dash. -at the end of the period. In your seat you try to think back. Gee, what have I done now? I didn't skip any classes and I wasn't late. I bet I know, that teacher must have seen me reading the paper during that speech in assembly today. No, it can't be that. What in the world can it be? You glance at the clock and figure out that there are still eighteen whole minutes to Wait. Since it is perfectly obvious that you are not paying attention to the class work, the teacher asks you to continue reading. Your friends try to help by telling you that the place is on the next page. A great help- theretare only six paragraphs to choose from. After wasting a few more precious seconds in deciding which one to read, you take your chance on the last. lust your luck, it was the Hrst. The teacher, who has reason to be disgusted, tells you to report in Room 3 at 1:45. With the best of your ability you try to concentrate. The ticking of the clock tempts you to give it one more look. Iust one minute to go. It seems like three. The bell finally rings. You elbow your way out, but your pace slackens as the awful thought comes to you. At last you think. Mr. McLaren must have seen you leave school bounds at recess. Gee whiz, if I ever get expelled-1. You pivot around for another drink at the fountain to delay the dreaded moment. What will Mother and Dad think of me? Honestly, I'll never go near Bill's Lunch again. You Hnd yourself just ten steps from the outer door. You gather up all your courage but really you know you look as if you were doomed for the guillotine. Face to face with the submaster-your heart has really stopped now. Mr. McLaren looks up and says, The Red Cross would like to have you help with their Roll Call in Ward Z. SOPI-IIE PINSKA IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE 11 A TIGHT GAME Give me the game Where the pitching's tight, And the score is close In a bitter light, Where the play is smart, And the Fielding's tops, And the lads come up With some dazzling stops, Where the innings bring To your burning gaze Some gorgeous throws And some circus plays, And a hit is real, And they earn their run, And the game's tied up With the setting sun. Then your nerves are tense, And the stands are still, And every play Is a silent thrill, Until at last, NVith the winning hit, You just explode In a roaring jit. Brother, you take Those slugging spills, Where the pitching's loose As an ocean breeze, And a homer's cheap, But Iopine That I'll take the close, Tight scrap for , Mine. DON E. STILLMAN IT IS WORTH IT? 8-l. 1-7! The steady beat of signals fol- lowed by the pounding of feet as eleven men run toitiring signal practice. Up and down the field for a half hour halted' only by the familiar 'cry from the coach, All up. A little questioning of players on how they feel and then a curt command, Get your hel- metsf' For an hour and a half the grunt and thud of smaking bodies sound out from the scrimmage. Now and then a pause to demon- strate to some player the art of taking his man. ' Darkness falls swiftly over the gridiron and scrimmage is stopped for the day. The players rush to the locker room in order to be sure of hot water for a shower. A great deal of shouting and singing pours out from strong lungs of healthy boys under the warm soothing water. The squad soon disperses in groups headed in every direction-east, west, north, south. Arriving home to a warm supper, a few hours study, and then bed, for the eye- lids seem to hang as lead. Nothing is on his mind but the thought of a similar day on the morrow. For three months this steady routine is kept by about fifty or sixty boys in our school. Do they kick? No, they enjoy it. People have often asked me if it is worth it to slave five days a week to play or sit on the bench for forty minutes on Saturday? Ask any football player. If he is a true ath- lete his answer is always YES. CARL OSBERG THE FARM I know what a farm is-an old house with a monstrous barn, some chickens, cows, horses, and a lot of land. But a few, only a few, know what a farm is really like. To me it is a place of discoveries, of pleasure, and of wonder. . When I left my city home and moved into the country, I felt very much like Alice. Everything was new, strange. I saw for the first time what a potato plant was like, how carrots and beets looked as they grew, and I found that I could not tell where the onions were planted by merely sniffing the air. Being on a farm makes you feel much 12 JANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE like an explorer on some new adventure. Each little excursion discloses something dif- ferent. If you visit the barn and unlock the door, you may behold a filled stall. If you take a trip into the fields, you may discover some odd-looking Hower. In the pasture it may be wild strawberry plants, laden with tiny, delicious fruit. The woodlot may re- veal a nest, or it may delight you with its mingled odors of pine and violets. There is no other place where you can have so much fun the year 'round as on a farm. You may play hide-and-seek in the barn if you are young, and when you grow up you may hold your parties there. There is plenty of room in the fields for baseball in spring, for football in fall. There is no dan- ger of broken windows and the subsequent fifty-yard dashes for the nearest hideout. In the summer you can tramp the hay, take a swim in the brook, or if you have a court- as many do these days-you may play tennis. You have the rolling fields to slide and ski on in winter. Also there are Hooded meadows on which to skate, and there are back roads for sleigh rides. A Why do people refuse to be convinced that a farm is the best place all-round to live on? To me there is nothing like it. ELLA MAE HAMILTON OVERNIGHT HIKE Enthusiasm ran high as we planned for our overnight hike, for it was the first time many of us had camped out. The next morn- ing we blithely set out with our packs on our backs and the food supplies in our bask- ets. Of course we -thought it would be noth- ing at all to walk that four or five miles, but we soon found out that bedding rolls are ex- tremely heavy on an uphill tramp. We stop- ped several times to rest and, incidentally, to pick alfew berries. There was a shout of joy when we finally reached the clearing. Everyone set to work with a will, gathering wood for a fire and later making his bed. We went exploring after supper and came back to go gladly to bed. It had been decided to keep the fire burning all night. Girls watched in pairs for two hours at a time. As my turn came at midnight I went to sleep immediately. It seemed only ten minutes later that I was rudely awakened to be informed it was midnight. After fixing the fire we found we were hungry, but neither of us had the courage to raid the pack basket. We did not know where it was anyway. It seemed hours and hours before our watch was up, and we gratefully crawled back into bed. All too soon the sun was up, so were we. All that remained was the clean- ing up, and this was done with surprising alacrity. The hike back to camp seemed miles shorter than the one going out. When we arrived at camp we were hot and tired, but we were eager to tell of the Wonderful time we had experienced. MARGARET SMITH WHY NOT HOCKEY? Why isn't hockey sponsored by this school? We have baseball, football, track, basketball, and cross country as major sports, with golf, rifle, and winter sports teams as minor activities. There is a large student body from which recruits could be drawn. School teams throughout the state would welcome our competition. During the winter we have only one major sport in action- basketball. Many boys cannot play this game, so they are completely left out at this time. One member of our faculty would consent to coach this activity, I am sure, for I have often heard him say that he would like to do so. IANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE 13 People argue that we cannot have a hockey team because of the lack of locker rooms at the rink, making it impossible for players to take showers after a workout. There are hockey teams that have no facilities for dressing or showers. If the sport were started here it might be possible to overcome this handicap. As for uniforms, those used by our former team are in storage, and would be available. Minor equipment might be supplied by the players themselves at First. Why not give hockey a try at Central? RAY PAQUIN HUNT Ting-a-ling-a-ling- ting-a-ling-a-li.ng-a- ling-a- Oh, consarn you clock! What's the big idea? Who set you to go off at four olclock, anyway? And I was right in a middle of a nice dream. I'll never get to-say, this is October First! God bless you, clock. XVhat would I do without you? With some such words as these I open- ed the hunting season of 1937. I was up, dressed, and had eaten breakfast before you could say your a-b-c's backwards. Eddie Call, another ardent sportsman, was to call for me at four-thirty. It was that time then, and sure enough, as always, Eddie was on time. I grabbed the old double-barreled twelve, and a box of shells. I jumped into the car, and we were off. The First gray tints were appearing in the eastern sky as we reached our destination, and while we sat in the car waiting for the sunrise, I noticed the splendor of the autumn foliage, as streaks of red from the eastern horizon danced merrily on a perfect blend of red, yellow, brown, and green surround- ings. ' With the sun dawned as perfect a hunt- ing day as one could wish, and as we walked down the old wood-road together, I silently thanked God for Mother Nature. Before we separated, we made the usual little wager that the one who got the fewest birds would have to buy a hot drink for the other on the way home. I arrived soon at the cover I had in mind, and after agreeing to meet Eddie at the car at seven, started through the brush with high hopes. Eddie went on to another cover. At the end of the first half hour, I had covered acre upon acre of excellent bird coun- try, but had not flushed a single bird. I sat down to rest a minute, and upon doing so, the familiar drumming of a cock-patridge came to my ear. It seemed unusually near. I listened a moment, then issued a low coo- ing sound from my throat. The drumming ceased, I cooed again, and after two or three exchanges of drumming and cooing, a great cock-patridge rounded the corner of a large rock and hopped up on a log not twenty feet in front of me. My heart skipped a couple of beats as I reached for my gun. With much difficulty I raised it, and lined the leads up directly with his head. But I did not Hre. I lowered the gun. This time the bird stood there defiantly, as a king on his throne. He showed not the slightest sign of fear, and, after all, why should he? He was as helpless as a butterfly over the Atlan- tic, yet he saw no danger. He trusted me. My heart melted like snow on Fire, and I just sat there and looked at him. I-Ie was as handsome and as large a specimen as I had ever seen, and he just stood there and looked at me. Presently an old hen rounded the same rock, and hopped up beside him, but upon seeing me, she let out a cluck, and disappeared to parts unknown. The cock followed her. As I walked down the old wood road to the car, Eddie stepped out of the brush in front of me, and when he saw me, his face lighted up with a smile of radiance that touched both ears. He pulled out two cocks 14 IANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE from the back of his coat, and held them up for due admiration. Little was said on the return trip. I bought Eddie his hot drink, and he was completely satisfied. Strange as it may seem, so was I. DONALD CRAFTS GRASS! When summer rolls around again, and the old lawn mower has to come out of its seclusion in the cellar, you can make this national pastime from a headache into a game. , , N N , Q, I Lei-f- .

H W 6 limi Of course thereare ways of trying to 'N avoid this problem of lawn mowing such as breaking the mower, but there is always the next door neighbor's which isn't in use that particular day. So this method is rather fruit- less, as I know from personal experience. Now that all your brain children have failed, pretend that every blade of grass is like an enemy sneering up at you, get your trusty war machine flawn mower, to work, and charge them as if you were in a battle fas you arej. When this is finally over, there is still the clipping to do, or if you've gone completely military, call it snipping, for the battle is never won until the last enemy is gone. The third step in this game is to remove the dead soldiers from the field. A hated job! If you find that you have no rake, do not let your joy run away with you, for there is still that same neighbor. Y When the last of the invaders is buried in the rubbish barrel, a feeling of relief passes over youg but you'1l End this short- lived, for another battalion will be at the front in a week or two.

IOSEPH KELLEHER HOW TO FIND THINGS Mathematics, medicine, and music are but a few of the several recognized sciences of our twentieth century. Webster says that science is a systematized knowledge of known truths of a subject obtained by observation and experience. To me, the skill of finding that long lost article is just as much a science as medicine or mathematics. It is in fact a more practical one. Therefore, there is a de- finite, methodical manner and technique in IANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE 15 learning how to End things. First of all, you must know for what you are looking. Then it is wise to concentrate and try to remember where you last used the vanish- ed article. If this produces no result then proceed to look for it in the most probable room. Search thoroughly in every nook and corner before hunting in another. Don't, if possible, let other things dis- tract your attention, but remain attentive throughout your search. Keep in mind the appearance of the article: its size, make-up, and color. Be sure to disregard anything of a foreign nature. How many times my at- tention has been so drawn to a past relic fespecially in the atticj that I forgot com- pletely what I was looking for! Losing your temper will get you no- where if you intend to master the science. A cool head, observing eyes, and an attentive mind are all essential factors of a successful finder. But above all, never give up. Don't say, Oh, it isn't around here, thereis no use looking, for if you're like me, you don't know where you put half of your things all of the time! The next time your favorite book dis- appears, or your gloves seem to have vanish- ed in thin air, perhaps my suggestions will aid your disheartened search, and if not, why then ask for begj the assistance of your mother as I do. WILLIAM SPRIGG TRAVEL Travel-how the word thrills me and seems to open new vistas of enchantment. That one word spells delight and mystery. Ever since I can remember I have dream- ed of travelling to different countries on the other side of the ocean. When I was a child the books I loved most and read over and over again told of adventure in Europe and Asia. I've always looked forward to the beautiful English countryside and London with its dismal fog and stone houses of the same drab color, to Ireland in all its green- ness, to its little villages with their narrow lanes winding past cottages where house- wives sit on their cloorstones to work, to the donkey carts filled with peat rumbling over the stone bridges. Most of all, however, have I longed to visit France. I want to walk leisurely through Tuileries or the Bois de Boulogne, to stand before the Arc de Tri- omphe, and to kneel in the dim candlelight, marveling at the immensity of Notre Dame. Meanwhile, dreaming of the delight and mystery of travel, I content myself with reading avidly about these places. PHYLLIS C. BROWN FIDDLER'S COIN The symbols of our yesterdays Adorn the woven belt of Time, They are the price that each one pays For blinding grief and love sublime. Fading with time as all things do, And stripped of most of its silver sheen: A single moon-ray falters through And tries to find a shattered dream. The flame of hope is what remains Of what was faith and love in one. Our hearts have trod in sorrow's lanes But eager wait the rising sun. HELEN MONTGOMERY COUNTRY PAGEANT A windy autum day, a quiet country road, and solitude-that's all I ask. Roam- ing through the country on my right I see an aged farmer standing in the golden Fields. 16 IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE He has just finished his harvesting. In the background is a battered old farmhouse, worn by weather and time. In the yard, a young boy, clothed in dungarees and an old straw hat, is completing his chores. I stop a minute to wish that I were an artist. Passing the farmhouse, I came to a grassy meadow and a cattle-worn path. Be- yond appear the tops of millions of trees. The leaves are just beginning to turn and never before have I seen so many beautiful colors. I don't believe that one could find greater beauty anywhere. Coming home, these pictures are still with me and I Wonder-if the country folk appreciate the beauty which surrounds them. BETTY BURPEE THE HERO Once upon a time, As the legend always goes, There was a daring cowboy With many friends and foes. He rode a spotted pony, Wore chaps upon his knees, His blouse was multi-colored, His attire one to please. There also was a badman Named Jasper Q. MacKnightg Our hero went to get him On a dark and stormy night. He rode through all the bad lands With his pistol butts in view, His face was set in hardness As he thought of Iasper Q. He urged his horse on faster, He was eager for the fray, But as he turned the corner He heard somebody sayg Now reach right for the ceiling, My high an' mighty franlg Don't think you're smart enough to fool This here super'or man! Now our hero started thinking Of some way to play his hand, When there came a sound of moving And a shuffling in the sand. Then someone started breathing, So the robber turned to see, Our hero took a sideward leap And got behind a tree. He drew his gun for shootingi The bullet straight and true Had found its mark, the robber went Forever out of view. Our hero went to thank his friend, The latter not in sight, Our hero called, Who helped me out? With all his strength and might. He heard a little stirring, A moving in the grassg Out from behind a big old rock A bullfrog jumped at last. Our hero looked and then he smiled, At last he made a vow, He would reward the frog, because He was the hero now. DOROTHY LANG ROOM 300 This is a test for accuracy, not for speed. I think I've heard that phrase before, but each time I seem to profit less. My mind is made up today, though. I shall turn out a perfect copy of the printed matter. I am ready-in position, I look around for the last time. The teacher is standing IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE 17 with the watch in her hand. I feel a liitle nervous, my body grows tense, my neck is already stiff from watching the copy whizh I have not yet started to type, and my little finger is exhausted from pressing so long on that shift--still, I hear no signal to start. After a heated debate with myself, I relax just for a second-surely it won't take any longer than that to collect my nerves, give my machine a last minute inspection, and see that all will be Well during my forth- coming struggle with the control of that which claims to be a typewri-- Start!', Oh, now for that shift-where is it? My copy-it's on the floor! I have it back in position now and Hnd myself playing the hit or miss game once more. But it seems my troubles are not over yet-this is the second time I have been obliged to get my keys out of a badly entangled huddle. Oops! I almost forgot my instructions about keeping my eyes on the copy, but I've been hearing bells rin ging-could one of them have been mine? No, not yet, of course. Perhaps mine will be the next, then remembering that good old saying, There's nothing like a changef' I fumble for the return lever, and after due wandering my hand strikes it. That's odd, it didn't seem to move very far-I look up just this once-Horrors! I wasn't even half way through the- Timel The last step in one of these so-called tests is reading it through. I rub my eyes and read again-in vain. Either I have be- come cross-eyed, or I can't read. ' ' That bewildered expression 1T1uSt have drawn attention, for I am surrounded by my most considerate classmates. They tell me that I could have done worse. In typing for ten minutes on the wrong row of keys, I wrote three out of fifteen words correctlyl ALICE KYRAGAKIS i SOUTH SEA SAGA Night settled down upon the island and relieved the earth of its stifling heat. The grassy swale lay thick and luxuriant under the tall trees and the hills assumed dim, monstrous shapes in the velvet darkness. The night was without wind, but occasional vagrant airs stirred the treetops. Rhythmic waves beat upon the shore in stately succes- sion under the blazing stars above. Mouldy smells rose from the dark earth and filled the night air with their pungent odor. In the eastern sky the faint glow of a coming moon shone. Night seemed to hold its breath.- VIRGINIA FULLER LET'S PLAY ALADDIN I wish I had a watermelon, I wish I had a Watermelon, chanted Iohnny as the rest of his friends looked on eagerly. Iohnny was in the process of smoothing down the top of an oily lantern with his two chubby little palms, for this lantern was sup- posed to be magic. By rubbing it one's wish came true and after the gang Qas Iohnny's small group of friends liked to term them- selvesj had noted what to expect, Iohnny began to rub. He had been rubbing and chanting now for more than fifteen minutes, but then, no one had ever specified the time necessary for the wish to come true. Iohnny had even suggested that it might take about an hour of rubbing to get the wish working and then about another hour for the water- melon to appear. So there they all were, sitting Indian fashion in a circle around Iohnny land, of course, the lantern. Each boy Qthere were about sevenj was eager and tense, hoping, at any moment, to see a water- melon drop from the sky, for where else could a magic watermelon come from. At First Iohnny chanted just above a whisper, 18 IANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE but as time went on and nothing happened his wee five year old treble rose to a mighty volume. He must make sure that he would be heard. A short distance away Mr. Katz, pro- prietor of a fruit store, heard this strange chanting as he worked. He investigated. Soon a big watermelon rolled from his fruitstand into the small circle of absorbed youngsters. Such joy, such delight, such dancing as that which occurred the moment the young boys saw the watermelon, Mr. Katz had never seen. From his secluded hide-a-way in the store, he chuckled as he heard young Iohnny saying proudly, I al- ways thought I was as good as Aladdin, and now I know it. VICTORIA GRUSZEWSKA MELANCHOLY DISTURBED At first a patter on the roof- I sat alone with head aloof, Peace, gentle peace had come at last, But so on the rain was pelting fast, Then came a Hash, a crash, a roar- Perplexed, my thoughts no more could soar. My dreams and visions now had Hown, To reality I had been thrown, And, oh, the grief which there prevailed Since this one solace now had failed. FLORENCE FLETCHER VANISHED FRIENDS How well I remember the trio that I associated with in my earlier days. The three who worked and played with me, who, next to my immediate family, received my prime consideration. They were my friends above all other friends. There was Greg, the boy next door, al- ways the most frightened as we crouched in some back alley or back piazza, evading the long arm of the law after playing in forbid- den areas or making a sudden raid upon a neighboring orchard. He was of medium size, well proportioned, and rather pleasant in speech, but carried an eternal plaintive look on his longish, freckled face. It was a sad day for us when his family moved to another city. Art, a small, slight, but energetic boy, was the best baseball player of the group. He made up for his meager size by his agility and daring. In addition, Art was the diplomat of the neihborhoodg there was scarcely a quarrel which did not melt away under his sedative powers. Thanks to him, the number of black eyes and broken teeth in the neighborhood were greatly reduced, but occasionally even he saw the wisdom of letting a dispute terminate in a pugilistic en- counter. It was a long time before the remain- ing two of us, Greg having left sometime be- fore, got over the untimely death of Art a few days after he was struck by a speeding automobile. The other member was called Petrovitch, but this was shortened to Pete for a good and sufficient reason. He was, as the story books would say, the fiery, dominant type. VV hen he called you at your back door, you knew it, and went pronto. Never did he lack an idea and he was always ready to back one up by the time you had absorbed it. Art usually had his hands full when Pete became excited at a baseball or football game. I still see Pete occasionally, and we re- kindle the flame of friendship by reminis- cences of the olden days when we were four. The old order changeth, Yielding place to new. And new friends take the place of old, but the old shall always remain with me in memory. ALEXANDER WISKUP JANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE 19 RECOLLECTION The visits to my uncle's farm in Chester that I made when I was a child, I shall long remember. Hardly before my father could stop the motor of the car in the farm door- yard, my Aunt Sadie would have appeared in the doorway of the big farmhouse with her shawl over her shoulders to welcome us with her characteristic, hi there . By this time my Uncle Hiram would have emerged from the barn or one of the many doors in the long ell which connected the house with the barn, to escort us into the house with much hearty welcoming. Then we followed my aunt through the cold dining room, which was too large to heat, into the big, warm sitting room. The next twenty minutes or so were for me quite dull. Everybody wasengaged in conversation which filled the room with a jumble of voices. Close together and lean- ing foreward in their chairs near the wood stove were my grandmother and old Emma Towle, my uncle's aunt who lived there. Their conversation was intense. A comment on the recent death of an old, mutual friend had carried them into old age's paradise of reminiscense. How great was my amusement when my ear caught such names as Ezekiel or Uriah as they chuckled about good times with these beaux of sixty years ago. In an- other part of the room my mother and Aunt Sadie sat conversing about cooking, sewing, house cleaning, magazines, ailments, and the like. My father and uncle talked about the farm work and the purchase of a cow, or my father's work in the city, or politics, and every once in a while everybody would hush while my uncle, who had the rare faculty for telling a funny story well, reeled off a yarn which brought forth peals of vari-toned laughter from everybody in the room. During this time I sat silent, gazing at the low ceiling or at any quaint object in the room which happened to attract my atten- tion. Sometimes I got up and Walked over to the writing desk to look abstractedly at some books, the leaves of which had grown brown with age. Perhaps I would strike a few notes on the ancient piano only to re- ceive the anticipated glareof reproval from my mother. When I thought I had, in the words of my mother, visited a little while , I quietly asked permission to go out to the barn. V ' On my way through the cold dining room I can remember how I used to stop to inspect the dld wall telephone whidh work by a crank, or the bric-a-brac on the fire-place mantle, or the big twelve gauge shot-gun in a little nook behind a curtain. It was a gloomy room, as was the Whole house except, perhaps, the sitting room and kitchen, which I passed through next. Its floor, which was of brick, had sunken in places so as to make footing unsure. Behind the stove which radiated an intense heat, there was an old Dutch oven of large dimen- sion which always arrested my attention. Everything in the house was suggestive of antiquity. A musty smell, characteristic of ancient farmhouses, pervaded its rooms. It was a large house, much too large for the three people who lived in it, but they loved it, and nothing could have putsuaded them to part with it. After a lengthy tour of inspection of the ell and barn, I would return to the sitting room where my folks would be preparing to leave. My aunt and uncle usually escort- ed us to the car where the conversation continued for another five or ten minutes before we'd Hnally bid them farewell and depart.

Three gilded globes, hanging over the door, tell everyone the merchant's trade. The shop was frequented by many of Central's '38B class as the financial side of graduation had depleted the pocket books of many of the students. On a certain day about a month after graduation, Achilles Perdikes, Reynold Davis, Richard Hitchcock, and Donald Birmingham stood gazing solemnly at the unique window display.

AGLAIATCOMMITTEE AND SENIOR B'S ,:ONfORACLE TELEVISION MARVEL Alexander Wiskup, in collaboration with some of Central I-Iigh's deeper intellects, has invented an X-ray-radio-television set by which he can see as well as hear through the walls and around the corners of Central's corridors. This is what was heard during the First few moments of its operation. In room 2: MISS FAIRBANKS: I-Iow has the WARREN China aifected the price of gold, SILBER, and scrap QB, IRON? At the lunch counter: May I BOROWSKI a nickleski? I won't LINDH you one because you took such a LANG time paying back the last one. Let's go over to Bill's and get a cup of McAFEE and a HAMMOND rye.

FLASHiall that's new in society as gathered by Leon Flash Eckman, star news reporter of the Hitchcock Syndicate. FLASH-The 21st day of the year 1967, goes down as history in the year book of the elite. On this celebrated day every- one of importance in the United States at- tended a dinner party given at the palatial Long Island residence of Governor and Mrs. Francis O,Sullivan. For dear old charity's sake dinner was enjoyed at five dollars per plate and was served by five primly attired waitresses you may recall having seen at other similar functions. The waitresses, daughters of local business men, were the Misses Lucille Ray, Catherine Belcher, Iane Freeman, Patricia Hobbs, and Madeline Blais. Assisting as butlers were Messrs. Wil- ley, Packer, and Paquette. IANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE i 45 The home of the Governor had been ex- quisitely decorated by the Devine Decorat- ing Company under the supervision of Ma- dame Gruszewska with the aid of her able assistants, Stella Kruczek, Althea Butler, Natalie Robinson, Aristides Tentas, and Arthur Wallace. ln the receiving line with the Governor and his most gracious wife were Ambassa- dor to Italy, Leo Portinarig Governor of New Hampshire, Harold V. Young, Mayor of New York, Robert Herbert, the President of the United States, Frederick Wyskiel and his secretary, Virginia Fuller, and Miss Florence Fletcher, dean of Wheaton College. Among the early arrivals were Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Stillman accompanied by their twin daughters who bowed to society la derniere saison, . Dr. and Mrs. Carl Osberg, formerly Betty Burpee came next. Following close on the doctor's heels were Mayor Haskell and his secretary, Anna Danforth, Miss Iane Hammond, recent divorcee of Russell Brown, prominent opticiang Iudge Philip Lyons and family, Attorney Donall Crafts, Miss Barbara Burns, a modern novel- ist rapidly rising to fame, Lieutenant Stan- ley Platek, who has just returned from a round-the-world Hight and his co-pilot, Wal- ter Morey, Miss Ruth Taber, chief Labora- tory Technician of the California Research Laboratories with Dr. Ella Mae Hamilton, member of the staff of the California Gen- eral Hospitalg Professor Harry Craig of Mass- achusetts School of Business Training, Head- master of Manchester Central High School, Donald E. Stillman, Archbishop Alexander Wiskupg President of the National Drug Association, Henry Urbanowiczg Ioe Kelleher catcher of the Manchester Pink Sox, and Helen Montgomery, head buyer for the Biron, Kokolis, Germas and Co., local cloth- iers. A delightful concert was given during the evening by the Sensational Tweedling Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Willumovitsch Spriggsky. A special arrangement of Osgood's Sonato in D Minor was played by a quintet composed of the following artists: trombonists, William Treacy and Russell Weeks, violinists, Emile Simard, Herman Silber, and pianist Felix Krol. Being applauded by the music lovers, they were forced to give three encores. At this moment Dorothy Fearon, charming prima donna of the Hooksett Opera Com- pany adorned in Howing Turkey plumes, stepped into the scene with her rendition of Old New Hampshire. Dinner was announced and the guests filed into the dining hall to enjoy a bountiful feast arranged by caterer Arthur Sotiriou and prepared by his capable staff which in- cluded chief dietician Iulia Bisbas and her assistants Dorothy Blanchard, Helena Bailey, and Iennie Batzis. The cooks are Zahia Shakra, Asimo Saitas, Eunice Rowell, and Emelia Twarda. Following the meal, 'dancing was enjoy- ed until 2:30 A. M. Seen having a most de- lightful time were Mr. Donald MacDowell and Miss Margaret Smith, Mr. Edward Cote, local druggist, and Miss Carol Brown, a teacher of sociology, Mr. Chester Healy, chief of the Fire Department, and Miss Mary Devine, Mr. Walter Iajesnica, coach of Har- vard football team and Miss Phyllis Brown, riding instructor, and Mr. Iames Germas, Chief of Police and Miss Ethel Kimball, head of the District Nursing Association. Much in demand during the evening was the screen idol, Mr. Raymond Paquin. I must not forget to mention Miss Dorothy Lang, the chief society reporter of Loxton Tribune. Mrs. O'Sullivan was elaborately gowned in a sapphire blue velvet dress designed by Miss Priscilla Laflamme, internationally known designer. Her coiffure had been care- fully done in the latest manner by Madam- oiselle Gladys Witkos and her only jewelry was a diamond brooch which came from Fellman, Grossman, and Company. Question: Who is Mrs. O'Sullivan? Victoria Gruszewska and Ruth Taber.

VV hen history was very young all the educa- tion necessary was gained in the home. But as centuries passed, and civilization be- came more complex, a class of people de- veloped who, because of their greater learn- ing, made a business of imparting know- ledge to the sons of other men. These people, who played such a great part in preserving and directing our civilization, were the teachers. Teachers, because of the responsibility they bear and the service they render, have come to be esteemed and respected the world over. The most pronounced exception to this, however, is found among the ranks of those Whom they teach. We are speaking, of course, of those students who are biased against their teachers. Such unappreciative students are found in all schools, more in some, fewer in others. Why can we who attend Central High be assured that our school is remarkably free from these grumpy pupils? In two words lies the answer-our teachers. Generally speaking, what qualities do our teachers possess which place them so high in our esteem? In the First place they are friendly and in many cases jovial. No one can deny that they would like to bear a jovial attitude toward us at all times, but it is we who prevent them. Our teaching staff is cooperative. Its members ably direct our activities, often with little recompense. It is they who are responsible for the victories we win on the field, on the stage, and in the classroom. Our teachers are sympathetic and helpful, and they have won our confidence. They are broad-minded and impartial, a fact which many of us are reluctant to admit. And best of all, we know the members of our teaching staff to be foremost in their respective fields. All in all we believe our teachers to have learned the gentle art of teaching well. We who are about to graduate express the hope that those who are to follow us will realize this. R. C. H. APPRECIATION There are many things which we do not appreciate. When I say this, I do not mean those things which are so removed from us that we cannot determine their true value, but the every day pleasures which make our life easier and more endurable. First and foremost is the love of our parents, especially that of our mother. Can you see howishe loves unselfishly without thought for herself, ' how she sacrifices so many things in order to be able to add to IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE 53 our comfort? Why do we not realize this until it is taken from us? It does not take much to please her, and simple little pleas- ures bring the greatest joy imaginable to her. Then again, schools and government are privileges that we should appreciate but which we do not, only because they are placed before us and are taken for granted by us. There are many places in this uni- verse of ours where people are deprived of an education. This is why we ought to be grateful that ours is given to us at small cost. We should not grumble because we have to get up in the morning and go to school. If we could not get an education and were compelled to remain illiterate, we would not be able to get as much enjoyment out of life as we do now. We would not be able to read the many interesting books, magazines, and newspapers which open an- other Aworld toi us. We could not read a- bout the lives of great people or learn about the customsand habits of people in other countries. That is why we must realize what our education means to us and go about aquiring it in a proper attitude. Take our government and the freedom which our country gives its citizens, and compare it with that of other countries. We all know that there are governments that allow the people to have little say in govern- ing themselves. They do not enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble or to call anything their own. Why even their children are placed in government institutions where they are taught as the political heads see fit to teach them. These are just a few of the many privi- leges we enjoy daily. What about some others such as the comforts we have at home and the ease and luxury with which we travel, the many entertainments afforded us by movies and musical societies, the play- grounds our cities provide for us where we spend many enjoyable hours, both in winter and summer. Our -own sdhool offers us privileges beyond those of the class room. For example, pupils can study music and harmony. Are they not acquiring something which will help them later on in life? Then there are the many sports which our school provides for us, the hockey, basketball, foot- ball, baseball, and golf are only a few recrea- tions which not only give us entertainment, but help those who indulge in these sports to acquire a sense of responsibility, of co- operation, and of fair play. Why not spend just a little time trying to be grateful for those privileges? You will not only make life happier for Your- self, but also for those around you. A. M. lAND OTHER STORIES Our earliest teachings include a rather vague subject known as geography which was warranted to furnish us with a know- ledge of the world and its inhabitants. The Americas was probably our first specialized textbook. Its authors were either guilty of misrepresentation or of ignorance. Which is the worse evil is not our problem. What we are concerned with is the fact that the treatise should have reached us as The Americas and Other Stories. Unquestionably we learn much of the good old U. S. A., and that's quite as it should be. Canada and Mexico came in for a good share of our attention too. But when it came to the regions south of the Equator! They might have been the servants of an old house kept on and tolerated because they had been there for years. Suppose from our learning we describe a few of the coun- tries of. this vast continent, South America. Bolivia? Well, Bolivia is a section abound- ing in tin. Its people have a weird, glittery pallor and are subject to change physically and mentally whenever Dr. Fahrenheit gets excited. But all lovers of blood and thunder 54 IANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE and explorers will bring in Brazil about this time. VVhy, we don't know. Brazil is just a huge jungle where witch doctors make rubber out of trees, and coffee from the Amazon. We could go on, but we feel sure you get the point. Chile we connect with nitrates and copperg Educator, with cacaog Venezuela and Colombia, with coffee and petroleum. To us, South America is raw material. Its people are less known to us than many insects. We don't think of her as an individual. The fact is, we never knew she had a brain. However much we may dislike Hitler and Il Duce, we have to give them credit for one thing. If South America ever be- comes more than a colorless daub on the map to the people of the United States, they will be responsible. Fascism has invaded the con- tinent to wipe out a communism which never existed, and has succeeded amazingly. Colombia alone has withstood it. Daily prop- aganda broadcasts over the Amazon and the Andes, supervised from Rome and Berlin, gain new recruits. VVhile here in our coun- try the greater part of us remain blissfully ignorant of the fact that in less than ten years, more than fifty years progress has been made. It is even more amazing that, in spite of the prominence of Fascism, the United States is the chief object of foreign concern. Wetmust return that interest a thousand fold if we wish to be Good Samaritans and save our sister continent. South America not only offers economic and political interest but its culture, dating from the organization of the University of Lima in Peru in 1534, is new ground of the utmost value to us. We have been European-conscious too long. Let's go South American! E. W. WHOSE FAULT? Are you a perturbed and pestered pedes- trian? You probably are, because more often than not, Dad needs the family Car, or Brother has borrowed your bicycle. Although you admit being a pedestrian, you do noth- ing worthwhile to merit your title except to be the subject of many good jokes. Safety patrols, you think, are only for infants who should still be in their carriages, you consider amber lights to be designed devices that lure you into the middle of the road before they turn green. You cross the street diagonally, having learned in geometry that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. flt is not, however, the safest.j At night you hurry along the wrong side of the highway wearing a white flower in your buttonhole-which is hardly bright enough totwarn weary motorists. You even imagine that yellow lines are decorations for the em- bellishment of oun fair city-lines which daring Hairbreadth Harry admirers: com- pletely ignore. In spite of all these offences, you still persist in feeling oH:ended when an irate motorist glares darkly at you. It's really not so hard to make him change his expression from purple anger to pleased astonishment, because traHic rules soon become a habit. The lines and lights are for your safety and protection. By taking advantage of them you prevent calamity and bad ternpers. So watch your step, mind the rules and regulations and before long you'll be following safety patrols at a respectful distance, making use of the amber light, and walking within the yellow line. Perhaps, too, when you get the car again, you'll have sympathy and under- standing for fellow perspiring pedestrians. ' P. N. C. rage- Adlils 1 - r n L - 5.

This issue is overflowing with interesting news of the school, and in it we discovered Island Paradise, one of the more delightful articles. A refreshing and enthusiastic magazine with an abundance of subject matter is the Lever which hails from Skowhegan, Maine. It contains many class pictures in addition to pictures of the graduates accompained by their biographies. We notice that much at- tention is given to athletics for both boys and girls. Small, but good is the Killonian intro- duced to us through the Killingly High School in Connecticut. We are especially drawn to the idea of giving each of the classes separate space for its own current accounts. Full-speed ahead, Killingly, and you'll be a topper. Locally speaking, we turn to a school nearer home, Coe's Academy at Northwood, which has just published its first issue this year-the Chronicle. This paper contains many clever illustrations, fine editorials, and a well Written literary section. From de land ob cotton comes the Old Gold and Purple, a superior magazine, published monthly by the students of the VVarren Eastern Boys' High School in New Orleans, Louisiana. VVe willingly give de- serving praise to the literary section. Turning to a region where sun and fun prevail, we receive the Boise High Lights, from Boise, Idaho. Personality Parade is one of the outstanding columns, brimful of interesting tidbits of the students. The editors may well be proud of their originality in this article. To the School Spirit, from Tower, N. H. We like your school magazine but notice that you have a number of jokes that are too old to print. Couldn't you print some school jokes? Attention Unquity Echo! The students of Central sincerely approve of your fall edi- tion and give you many compliments on your work. This magazine comes from Milton High School, Milton, Massachusetts. ALUM I 1933A-Edward L.

ROGERS BLOOD BASKETBALL Faced with the task of rounding out a suitable team with only one veteran, Coach Ioe Bronstein, with the aid of Tom Mc- Laughlin, has rounded out his starting line- up. This consists of Captain Rozmus and Cronin, forwards, Stewart, centerg and Iohn- son and Piecuch, guards. The squad is stud- ded with football names: Rozmus, Stewart, Iohnson, Piecuch, Andrejunas, and Pappas all having served on Hubie McDonough's football squad. Cronin, Smith, Prindiville, Heath, Doll, and Plentzes complete the squad. Coach Bronstein does not expect too much of this season's inexperienced outfit -but, with almost the whole squad returning next year, is optimistic for the future. Pre-season practice games were played with the Alumni and Goifstown. The season started with a game on December 31 against Pennacook, with a 32-21 score. The outcome of the Lowell game was 24-29. ally difficult schedule is: December 31-Pennacock Ianuary 4-Lowell Ianuary 11 Ianuary 14 -West -Nashua Ianuary 18-Lowell Ianuary 21-Dover Ianuary 25-Pending Ianuary 29-St. Ioscph's February 1-Nashua February 4-Concord February 8-West February 11-Open February 16-St. Ioseph's February 18-Concord 59 The unusu CROSS COUNTRY The graduations will do little damage to the 1938 Cross Country Team. Nearly all letter men will be back under the newly elected captain, Ernest Harris. Coach Pel- letier hopes to have a champion team. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The roster of the freshman hoop squad is Batzis, Carrignan, Coombs, Geoffrion, Iohnaon, Lemos, Lindstrom, Mahoney, Makras, Morris, Purdie, and Zadjel. Of this group Coombs and Carrignan show signs of blossoming into varsity stars and are practic- ing daily with the first team. A strong schedule has been drawn up for these play- ers who supply the preliminary attractions for the varsity games. WINTER SPORTS TEAM The chief interest of our winter sports team is skiing. Many new skiers are being discovered in the competition for vacancies resulting from graduation. Among the promising lads are Arthur Blondin and Leo Pratt. This year's team will have as veterans Iewell, Warren, Wallace, and Kent. With these and the newcomers, the Winter Sports Team should win a few ski titles. M. I-I. S. FOOTBALL TEAM BROCKTON The Red and Black of Brockton invaded the local city on November l3, ll favorite against a much lighter Little Green eleven. It was a bang-up game played in a sea of mud with the rain hindering Centralis razzle-dazzle playing and also Brockton's powerful running attack. The teams see- sawed back and forth in the first two periods, and as the half ended, Ronnie Stillman crashed over from the two yard stripe to give Central a 6-0 lead-the try for extra point being wide. The boys held their own in the third period, but in the fourth, Brock- ton's attack started to function. They went' over for a touchdown and the try for extra point was good. The game ended 7-6 in favor of Brockton-a tough loss for Central. HAVERHILL The Little Green journeyed to Haver- hill for their annual Turkey Day clash. The teams were fairly evenly matched, Haverhill having the advantage in weight. Both teams had had n defeat and both wanted a victory. Haverhill was at its- peak, and the two teams battled until the fourth period without a score. A run by Stillman, and a Stillman to Stewart pass ended in a touchdown for Cen- tral and the extra point was good. Haverhill could do nothing against the Little Green, and the game ended with Central on the long end of a 7-0 score. Ronnie Stillman in his Final game for the local team was at his best. Albrewsenski also did a good job on the line. Stewart and Suosso again starred for Central. Those who earned their letter for the l937 season were Albrewczenski, Andre- junas, B ernier, Borowski, Bureau, Christis, Doyle, Doyon, Dutka, Iajesnica, Iohnson, McMillan, Osberg, Paquette, Patterson, Piecuch, Rozmus, Stewart, D. Stillman, R. Stillman, Suosso, and Zekos. From this group there are seven who graduate: Blais, Borowski, Iajesnica, Osberg, Paquette, and the Stillmans. On the All-State Team this year Cen- tral placed five men: Suosso, center, Pa- quette, left tackleg Andrejunas, left guardg Stillman, captain and quarterback, Rozmus, utility back. We Centralites are proud to have so kmany make the All-State Team. FRANCIS O'SULLIVAN BOOK TALK We at Central are especially fortunate in having such a fine library.

'P Home Reading List in City Library- Don't let the title, New Frontiers of the ,Mind, frighten you. It's anything but a dull, technical book. Everyone is interested in mind-reading and second sight, and many have had experiences in which they knew just what another person was thinking. A Duke University professor has turned science on this, and after hundreds of experiments, announces that there are many people who are so uncannily accurate in reading minds that it cannot possibly be mere guesswork. He believes that some people can recognize things without seeing, hearing, feeling, tast- ing, or smelling themg this he considers some sort of sixth sense. Whether he is right or not, his book and the things it suggests are highly interesting and entertaining. Facts: Prof. I. B. Rhine, author. Book- of-the-Month. Unobtainable at city library. Victoria Four-Thirty by Cecil Roberts is a colorful and bizarre story with many char- acters. The great Victoria station in London is the background for the various episodes which take place in the lives of people who are taking the four-thirty boat train to the continent. Among them are a pair of newly- weds, a famous author, a renowned con- ductor of music, a former movie star, a boy- ish king enroute to the throne vacated when his father was assassinated, a sympathetic nun on her last journey, an Austrian peasant girl in trouble, a Greek restaurant owner, and a wealthy Turk. It is an entertaining story of folk from various countries and all walks of life, and Mr. Roberts has handled his characters with rare dexterity and understnding. 62 JANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE ' The Last Flight. Amelia Earhart's Last Flight is the dramatic story of the author's own thrilling adventures in various parts of the globe. In it, Miss Earhart briefly summarizes the most outstanding of her previous flights. In the telling she reveals her love for the mechanics of her plane, for the fuel lines and the pitch-propellar, for the little cabinet of tools, and the sweet purring of the motor. Much of it is in the vernacular of the air. It has a conversational tone and contains much of the a'uthor's own distinctive humor. Her love of flying lends to the story the feeling of flight itself. Every reader will admire the laughter, the beauty, the gay adventure, and the high courage which the book so finely portrays. Miss Earhart gives to us a message in her poem: Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. ' The soul that knows it not, knows no release F rom little things. Bright Island by Mabel L. Robinson is the story of Thankful Curtis, a girl who was born and spent all her life on an island off the Maine Coast. For many generations the Curtises had been sea-captains. When Thankful's father, Ionathan, found farming more to his taste, his father placed his hopes in one of Ionathan's sons. However, all four boys were much more interested in land than sea. It therefore remained for Thankful to carry on the Curtis love of the sea. With her sailboat, the Gramo, and her gull, Limpy, she covered most of the waters within reach of Bright Island. After Grandfather Curtis died, Thank- ful was told she must go to a school since her grandfather had provided for her education. Up to this time her Scotch mother had been her teacher. . There follows the account of Thank- ful's struggles to make her way in an entirely strange school and to adjust herself to new people and strange things. As you might expect, she always hears the call from Bright Island and the sea. Home for Christmas by Lloyd Douglas is the simply written story of a Christmas reunion, appealing to young and old. In accordance with the plans of the sis- ter who had inherited the old homestead, the other members of the family returned to participate in an old-fashioned Christmas such as they had enjoyed in their childhood. They obtained a newly killed pig and made sausage, they drove into the woods and cut down a Christmas treeg and under the leadership of their old school teacher, they conducted an entertainment, including the recitations they had given in the past. Interest is contributed by the revival of an old romance between the bachelor of the family and a childhood friend. American Dream by Michael Foster is the story of the endless search for an intang- ible ideal by three generations of adventurers. There was lean Francis Thrall who set forth to trade with new islands in strange seas, Iohn Thrall, pioneer editor, who upheld tolerance in the western wilderness, and Shelby Thrall, just another newspaperman from whom the violence of modern life had torn away all faith-but always there seemed to remain a single clue-this time-enriched American dream. Laughing Gas should definitely not be read if your sense of humor isn't hitting on all eight cylinders. Its ridiculous plot con- cerns a Hollywood playboy and a juvenile movie star who together go under ether in a dentist's oflice. Their minds in some way are interchanged, so that the playboy on awakening finds his mind in the juvenile's IANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE 63 body, and vice versa. You can imagine what a clever author could do with such a situa- tion. The plot soon works itself into a frenzy of pure nonsense, as do the readers of this rib-cracking, gloom-annihilating comedy, written in the best Wodehouse style. Facts: Author, P. G. Wodehouse. Un- obtainable at city library. The Arts by Hendrick Van Loon, is a comprehensibly written history of the back- ground of the arts: painting sculpture, archi- tecture, music, and others. Mr. Van Loon begins with the earliest cave drawings and discusses Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Persian, Italian Renaissance, Flemish, and modern developments. He devotes chapters to the most outstanding figures of painting and music, such as Michelangelo and Beethoven, he describes in detail the history of musical instruments, and he traces the growth of orchestral music. Mr. Van Loon has written the book to interest the average person and has illustrated it himself in his inimitable manner. A short story is a brief prose narrative developing a single dramatic incident. It presents a single chief character in a situation involving a struggle. It moves forward with such artistic selection and compression of detail as to leave the reader with a single impression. Nathaniel Hawthorne in his short story, Old Esther Dudley, takes us back to the time of the American Revolution. He uses this woman as a symbol of those people who, during the upheaval, remained faithful to the king. The author has injected just the right amount of mystery and suspense to hold one's interest. The Citadel by A. L. Cronin is a moving story of a modern doctor's struggle to keep faith. Andrew Manson, a young physician beginning his career, found life in a min- ing town, drab, prejudiced, and full of petty jealousies. Later, having received a higher degree, Andrew went to London and there strayed from the path he had set as his own and became a wealthy practitioner. However, with the aid of his understanding wife, Christine, and the occurrence of a fatal acci- dent, Andrew once again turned his eyes to the citadel toward which he had been striving-the fastness of his own integrity. Both Christine and Andrew are very real and lovable characters, and The Citadel is the story of their individual efforts to master fate. Roger Burlingame has written an ex- cellent short story called In the Cage, based entirely upon character study. His excellent use of symbols has lifted his story to a level which makes it an excellent allegory of American life. Every person is enclosed in his 'particular cage of life in which he ad- justs himself- and grows comfortable. And the moment that he is led into the wrong cage, he is both unhappy and unsuccessful. In carrying out this idea, Mr. Burlingame has written an excellent character sketch of an ambitious banker whose whole desire is to advance in his business-but when he finally is given his chance, he, like many other people, gets lost in the wrong cage. The author has used the paying teller's cage in a bank as the symbol of the cage of life, thus presenting an excellent comparison. Throughout his story the author has related a series of events in which the banker's character changes according to the cage in which he is placed. And I wondered as I was reading this particular story, just how many people of today are in a similar posi- tion. Do we realize in which particular cage we should settle? This author has certainly challenged us to adjust ourselves to vocations suitable to our character and ability. 64 IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE ' The Big Fat Lummox by Booth Tark- ington was taken from his novel, Seven- teen., William, the main character, together with many sympathizing comrades, wants very much fto borrow a common expression, to be the apple of Miss Pratt's eye. His only obstacle is George Crooper, a dauntless visi- tor, who also has designs upon Miss Pratt. We follow with interest the action of the story to learn what happens to these charac- ters. Pleasantry has its value in life says Mr. Oddy in Mr. Oddy by Hugh Walpole, from the Cosmopolitian. This story presents a very good character study. The author, dis- guised to the reader as Tommy Brown, is a young, somewhat conceited writer who moves about in his own literary circles. Henry Gallion, a famous author whom Brown likes, is characterized as a charming, literary, book-loving old man, and is given the name of Mr. Oddy. We get to know these two characters through their meetings and experiences, their friendship, and their mutual admiration. This short story is out- standing because of its simplicity of style and good characterization. Sergeant Hornus is the hero of The Ensign by Alphonse Daudet. Hornus was a crusty old war-dog who had taken twenty years to gain his sergeantis stripes the twenty- third ensign. Blindly devoted to the beloved colors of his trust he refused to surrender them even in defeat and died faithfully up- holding the standard of his company. The author presents this character with pathos, humor, and sympathy. An orchard is the picturesque setting of The Apple Tree by Katherine Mansfield. As the plot deals with a coveted apple tree, the setting is essential to the story. The un- derlying theme is a variation of the adage one connot judge by appearances. Fame for Mr. Beatty is a story by Iames Norman Hall dealing with the life of a man who did exactly the same things every day of his life. It does not emphasize action, but character, the character of men whose life makes them, practically machines. The set- ting, barely mentioned, is in several well known places in New York. The story con- tains very little conversation but is interest- ing because of its unique word pictures. i i i' V ORACLE PUZZLE The Aglaia staff offers to the students of Central the following puzzle.

Right this way for the Snow Train, suh-Yes, suh, step right up here foh the Snow Train, suhli' And right here is where you begin to wonder if you have everything, and more important, if you're dressed just as smartly as the others on board this snow bound caravan. You scramble aboard, grab for a seat, and with loving gentleness deposit youd ski-carrier. This worthy item is a decendent of the golf bag, and can transport with ease and com- fort your skis, poles, and waxes. Thus having progressed satisfactorily so far, you sink com- fortably into your soft plush seat and gaze about to scrutinize your fellow companions. First your eyes feast on a snappy little color study who is sitting towards the front of the car, garbed in a yellow flannel shirt with little shiny red skis for buttons and navy gabarbines plus fours. She looks very spirited with her red angora mittens and her matching gaiters with a large white heart on either side. She wears two kerchiefs of contrasting dark colors with quaint Tyrolean village scenes on them, one on her head and the other tucked around her neck. This ingenious lassie has discovered that her blue reversible is just what she needs for a bit of extra warmth over the bulkiness of her ski clothes. Color contrast and casualness in accessories 'make her an individualist. Glancing across the aisle you see a couple whose more conservative apparel gives a very professional look. The girl wears a tweed jacket with a matching pleated skirt .which is perfect for the train and skating 'P later on. VVhen she gets ready to ski, she simply swaps the skirt for pants and pulls on her socks and boots. The man wears a reversible double breasted ski jacket with elastic sides and creased ski pants. lt is difiicult to distinguish this costume from his town suit. In one hand he holds a pair of goat skin, fleece lined gloves which are light, warm, and water proofg in the other hand he holds a pair of dark goggles to protect his eyes from the glare of the sun on the snow. Soon the whole car is a moving blur of color: baby bonnets and colorful scarfs, bright Tyrolean figured suspenders, St. Moritz wrap-around stocking caps, stitched bandaging belts which lace up the front, Swedish stitched sweaters and toques, Howered challis ties, hand crocheted gloves, wind breakers of arctic fur and ski satin, plaid shirts, and ski binders which wrap around the tops of boots. And so in varying array you arrive, and feeling eager and poised in your soft wool turtle neck sweater under your sleaveless Norwegian brushed wool jacket and your long slim trousers you leave the train, your ski-carrier slung over your shoulder and your imported English blanket cape over your arm. As you snuggle down under the blank- ets in the sleigh which has been waiting to whisk you oil to the inn, you feel warm and happy in your bunnies fgrown up Dr. Den- ton'sj and you slyly wonder if the others have such a warm pair of fleece-lined blue suede after skiing slippers as you have.
