'CLARENCE STR-ATTON came to Central to teach English in Sep- . tember, 1903, having previously graduated from the University of Penn- sylvania with the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy, and the additional honor of the Phi Betta Kappa Key. In 1905, having been given a brief leave of absence, he spent some months in Europe, part of which time he studied at the University of Rome, Italy. During his career of eighteen years at Central, Mr. Stratton 's work was not lim- ited to teaching alone. Besides having charge of the Senior English classes for many years, he trained the graduates for their commencement speeches, and offici- ated as director of the Class Pla.y. In this latter connection, Mr. Stratton has achieved much success and reputation, and there is no doubt that his services will be greatly missed. It is perhaps ap- propriate here to mention that Mr. Strat- ton is a great lover of the drama and dramatic art, and an inveterate theater- goer. Mr. Stratton was greatly interested in the course in Public Speaking, which was introduced at Central during his last term, and, knowing the great need for such a course in our high schools, he eX- pressed himself as determined to make something worth while of it. Besides being thought of as a teacher, Mr. Clarence Stratton will long be remem- bered at Central as the author of our school Loyal Song. Here, as in every- thing else, the intellectual and spiritual high-mindedness of the man will be felt. In it he sings of the glorious history of Central's Past, her Present attainment and fulillment, and her idealistic hope for the Future. In addition to his work at Central, Mr. Stratton taught for several years in the Benton Colleges of Law, one summer in theiColorado State Teachers' College, and for three years in Public Speaking exten- sion classes at Washington University. He is a member of the National Council of Teachers of English, and has served as Vice-President, Secretary, Chairman of the Committee on Speech, and Chairman of the Committee on Plays. Clarence Stratton is no less notable as a writer and lecturer as he is as an edu- cator. He has written a great many verses, stories, articles, and translations for American and English magazines, as well as a number of books. Among these latter are Great American Speeches, A Mid-Summer Night's Dream, and a translation from the Spanish of Zara- gnetaf' His most recent Work is Public Speaking, which has been generally ae- cepted by critics as anauthority. Those who know Mr. Stratton look for- ward eagerly to the edition of the volume on which he is at present working, which will be published by Henry Holt and Company in the near future. This work will embody, in a concise form, the au- thor's experience as a teacher, and will be used as a text-book for high school study.

As Director of English in the High Schools of Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Stratton enters into a broader field, where his in-' fluence can and will be felt to a greater degree even than it was at Central. Although we will miss him greatly, we cannot consider his leaving as a loss, for he will continue his educational and lit- erary work on a greater scale. The very best wishes of both faculty and students go with him.

The Lit- erary Cat was so called because he elected to jump into her lap upon those nightly occasions, when household tasks were im- minent, and the social arbiter, otherwise known as Theodora,'madc a feint of study- ing her lessons. The social arbiter 's hair was rumpled as if hasty, impatient fingers had been thrust through it more often, perhaps, than necessary and her cheeks were somewhat flushed. She was speaking in a wailing tone to the Literary Cat, which blinked under- standingly, and put a tentative paw upon her pretty pongee blouse, either through sympathy or with a purely feline interest in the dangling ends of the jaunty black bow at thc social arbiter's throat. Don't you think, you dear old Liter- ary Cat, that when Stephen's beautiful Anne is coming we might have things fixed up a little? Especially when Rosewood is such a dnmpy old place, and the Friendly House is so hopelessly old-fash- ioned, and Anne Van Cortland is coming from the city and she's used to every- thing niee. I know Stephen would want us to make things nice for the girl he's going to marry. I want to get out that darling old china of mother 's, and polish up the silver-real silver, too, not the plated kind we use every day-and put flowers in the house--big, purple asters. There are a whole lot in the garden now, But Mumsie and Dad-I do hate to say it, but they are so dreadfully old-fash- ioned-say that if Anne is the kind of girl Stephen 's wife ought. to be, she'll like us better plain. And Stephen would want us to fix up for her-I know he would. Those old pictures, too! She won't be interested in them. There 's that one on an easel of Stephen when he was five years old and dressed i11 kilts-anybody that is anybody would bury such an atroc- ity in the attic! And they say that the Van Cortlands are awfully snobbish. l do wish Mumsic would take it down and put up a Corot landscape, or 'The An- gelus' 01' something like that. lilll sure Anne would appreciate that. And Dad will be sure to want me to play, and that old piano needs tun- Oh, Sis! Hasty steps came pound- ing up the stairs, and the next instant a saucy face peeked around the door of the girl 's room. Oh, I say, dearest twinnie, have you- Ted! expostulated the girl, as she jumped up from her chair, thereby dump- ing thc Literary Cat uncereinoniously out of her lap. Ted, you know how I hate that. VVhy don 't you call me by name? A look of mock seriousness came over Ted 's laughing face. Most certainly, fair Theodora..

Theodore Exeter, laughing in spite of herself, and regarding her merry twin in a helpless way, broke in hurriedly, Ted, you are too ridiculous! Why bother about Monday's lesson, now? VVe've got two whole days yet. What I want to do is to get rid of that old easel picture of Stephen before Anne comes. Can't we get it up to the attic, Ted? Why, what's wrong with it, Theo? asked Ted, innocently. Wel,l, it's not the least bit modern and Anne is used to up-to-date things. What we ought to have is a Corot land- scape or a copy of 'Mona Lisa' or 'The Glcanersf Those old bewhiskered an- cestors! t'Wl1y', Theo, 'Ted exclaimed, rather shocked, for his pride in his family was great. 'WVhat's the matter with you? Those are our own people you're knock- ing. There 's great Aunt Theodora Lang- don and Dad's grandfather Norris- Yes, the one that 'fit in the Revolu- tion,' as old Aunt Mandy used to tell us. It's no use, Ted, to name them over. I know 'em as well as you do, but, ances- tors or no ancestors, they 're too old-fash- ioued to have in the library. There! mothei-'s calling us. Put on a good face and come on downstairs. IVhat'll you do if I won't? grinned, appreciatively. Absolutely no telling. What do 'you think? called back Theodora as she ran downstairs. Ted took a short cut by way of the banister. ! 3 Yl!etl Ten It's a family conclave, children, said mother, looking up as they bounded into the cheerful living I'00l11. Oh, Mom, if it 's about Anne's coming, I've got some splendiferons ideas! Theo- dora cried excitedly. Oh, yes, indeed. Splendiferous, to say the least, scoffed Ted, sarcastically. I guess you haven't anything to say about it, 'Ted Exeter! They're at least better than yours, for you haven 't any! flashed Theodora, nettled. 'VVoman,' drawled Ted provok- ingly, 'cease thy babbling. Thou wear- iest me.' Don't be foolish, Ted, Theodora laughed. This is important. Bc serious for once. If you two are through quarreling, we will proceed with the business in hand, said Dad, coming out from be- hind his paper, and speaking gruifly, al- beit with a twinkle in his eye. Proceed, came in one voice from the twins. VVell, to state the case, Dad began, it seems that Stephen is coming to see ns tomorrow and he's bringing with him the girl he 's going to marry. From what we've heard of Anne Van Cortland she seems to be a fine girl, but, of course, we must allow for partiality in his judgment. Anyway, they 're coming tomorrow at four o'elock. Your mother said to call the family together. The meeting is, there- fore turned over to her. You see, children, I wanted to-pget your opinion on how to fix things for Anne, Mumsie said. t'Theodora, what kind of a menu shall we have?

BLACK NVc can start off with a cherry cocktail in those tall, stemmed glasses, and then have oyster soup, just piping hot. The meat course ought to be veal outlets, or roast chicken, or something like that. XVe can have a fruit salad, and parker house rolls, and olives, and French peas to go with it. Then we can have maple mous- see, or pineapple ice, or perhaps a Nesel- rode pudding for dessert. Vile ought to have yellow-shaded candles in those old mahogany candlesticks, too. They'd go beautifully with the dining-room. And, of course, we'll have all the nice china, and the real silver serving-set.. Nettie could be maid as wcll as cook and we really ought to engage a butler for the evening. 1,111 sure, too, that any caterer could make a lovely XV9lC0l1lGFll0ll1C cake to put in the center of the table. Those tall, palace-like ones, you know. Here Theodora stopped from sheer lack of breath, and Ted, who had been smould- ering all through this long speech, broke in. Say, Sis, he exploded, you forgot the French chef, andthe fiorist, and the decorator, and remember, we really ought to have a footnian in livery, and a chauf- feur. NVell, I was wondering why we eouldn't have pork chops, or maybe a chuck roast, proffered Dad, innocently, his face' suspiciously serious. Dad! At the shocked expression on Theodoi-a's face the whole family burst into hearty laughter, which forced even the girl her- self to smile somewhat reluctantly. Theodora, that would make a beauti- ful table, I know, and everything would go off just the way we wanted it. But, little daughter, Anne is just folks. I know her father is wealthy and she's had every luxury, but all the same, she's just folks. Our Stephen eouldn't love a snob. He hates pretense. So I think we'll just risk it and let Anne find us the way we always are. Hooray for Mumsie. cried Ted, wav- ing his handkerchief wildly in the air, and causing so much commotion that the Literary Cat jumped in fright to his fa- 'ar vorite perch on Theodora's shoulder: i'E,l'UllIIf hutlers, footmen, chefs, and ehauffeurs, also cocktails, and unpro- nouueablc puddingsf' U 'She who is convinced against her will 'Is of the same opinion still.' Theodora, laughing, quoted the conplet and left the room, feeling that the house of Exeter was doomed. So, in spite of the girl 's objections, the house on the morrow was not dressed up as though it were to greet a queen. Instead, its billowy white curtains and shining knoekers breathed the very es- sence of home. In the dining-room, the table was set simply and daintily, the crackling wood tire in the library invited the weary travelers to rest and to seek pictures in its glowing depths. Tlieodora moved restlessly about the cheery room, straightening a curtain here, putting a book into place there. She patted her mother 's hair into position, al- though it had been perfectly arranged before, and straightened her father's long black tie, remarking that she did wishhe would wear a more up-to-date one.

To all of them, it seemed that the interminable minutes would never end. But. finally there eame the sound of an automobile, and footsteps coming up the walk. The door opened and Stephen ad- vanced proudly with Anne on his arm. And in that moment Theodora saw the faintly apprehensive look that had lain deep in her mother's eyes melt away be- fore Anne's impetuous onrush. Then she saw ber father clapping his big' son on the back and taking' Anne into his arms as if she were already his daughter. And Ted, the irrepressible, was enthusiastically shaking her hand. And to think that she had doubted this big' brother of hers who hated all pretense! To think that she had thought, that he roula' have brought home a wife who would deem them old-fashioned! And as she, too, turned to greet the girl who shared her brotheris love with her, she saw that in Anne's eyes was only love- ligrht and that she was smiling, through tear-wet lashes, at the picture of a little boy in kilts who smiled baek at her from behind a bowl of red dahlias. fxxiiii nwxi M1 2' ii.- awp U44 : QPR?

AND BLACK RINTING, which is the art of impressing upon paper or other substance the character of the letter coated with ink, was invented by 1438. It was not until 145-1 or 1455 that a book was published. Gutenberg and his scribe, S-ehoeffer, overcame enormous diffi- culties when they first attempted to pri11t. They had to invent an ink thick enough to stick to the type, a press in which to print the page., and a scheme by which the type could he fastened in the press. And even with this crude, cumbersome equip- ment it took years to pub- lish their iirst book.

To Schoeffer is given the credit of cut- ting the first type. The punch was made first, and from this the matrix. The matrix was placed in the mold face down and molten metal pou1'ed into the mold. For making type this method is still used. Black letter was the first face cut, of which the German type is the direct descendant. lt was Jen- sen that first made a suc- cess of the Roman letter which is now used every- where except ill Germany.

RED typesetting machine which was a. real mechanical marvel, as it set, justified, and distributed perfectly. But it required, to keep it running, an amount of brains not ordinarily found in human beings. The linotype is the best machine for ordinary com- position yet in- vented. It con- sists of a maga- zine, a keyboard for controlling the magazine, an assembling slot, a mold, a pot in which to melt the metal used, and an appar- atus for distrib- uting the mat- rices. In the setting- up process the keys are pressed according to the copy until the measure is filled. The whole as- sembling' slot with the mat- rices is lifted up by the operator. T lx i s movement starts the mech- anismg every- thing else is done mechanically, with- out ,any care of the operator. The matrices are shoved over to the pot.

Setting up for the monotype is done on a separate machine called the keyboard. The copy is translated in a series of perforations on a narrow roll of paper, each representing a character. The operator presses the keys until he has enough words to till a line. An i11di- eator tells exactly how much space is left. Then, by, pressing the proper justification key, the operator is able to till up the remaining space. The roll is taken to the monotype machine proper, where com- pressed air, being forced through the per- forations, operates the machine. The cast- ing machine begins at the end of the perforated roll a11d works baokwardg it sets any measure to sixty picas, and any size to 'forty-two point. The press has had much more advance- ment than the making and setting of type. For four hundred years press work was done by hand, ink balls were used, and no very great changes made in the mech- anism. A toggle-joint had replaced the screwg an apparatus for moving the bed in and out quickly was devised, and the press was braced so as to get an even impresison on all parts of the form. About 1,800 machinists started out to improve the pressg and the one and two- revolution presses are the modern results of these adventures. The printers of today are indebted to George Gordon for the invention of the forerunner of the modern job press. This press has been developed and thousands of them are in use. A self-feeder for it, which is able to guide to at very fine register, has been invented. The first newspapers were printed with the hand presses 011 tlat stock. On account Si.1'fvf'n of this the circulation of a newspaper was very limited. The cylinder press was hailed as a great advance, and the news- papers immediately put them in. The next step was the rotary press. This still printed from Hat stock, but did both sides at one operation. The Hoe ma- chine is the latest result in rotary web- fed presses. It prints from one to three rolls at a time, and turns out a folded and cut newspaper at the rate of 72,000 per hour. The different appliances for inking the forms have also been improved. Until the leather roller came into use, inking balls were used. Then the molded roller made from glue and molasses, or now-a- days glue and glycerine, superseded the leather roller and is now used on all presses, from the 15-inch rollers on the smallest Gordon to the 8-foot rollers on the largest Hoe presses. The paper-making machine invented in 1803 is in its essentials the paper-making machine of today. Up to that date all paper was made in single sheets by hand. The pulp was put into the mold by work- men, and then the mold was shaken to distribute the pulp evenly, and the result- ing sheet removed for drying and press- The principle was to substitute end- less woven wire sheets for the mold, and as the paper was formed by the felting of the fibers to lead it between heated cylinders to dry and press it. As it came from the machine the paper was cut into sheets of standard sizes. The continuous web of paper was made in 1803, but was not used. as a web for rotary printing until 1868.

NVithout a doubt John Gutenberg is one of the foremost men of all time. There have been great generals who killed 100,000 men in a day, there have been scientists, poets, inventors, and a multi- tude of others, all very famous, but their fame would be useless had not Gutenberg put into their hands an instrument to make known to every man, woman, illlll child with enough intelligence to read that for which they are famed. Printing is the dispenser of knowledge, the recorder of history, the beacon light of a thousand years. VVithout it we would still be in medieval darkness when the many were superstitious, ignorant, and crude, and the few who had knowledge, jealous, dogmatic, and just as supersti- tious as the many. To show how important printing is, imagine what the result would be if the newspapers of the United States were to be shut down for a single week. llow could we operate? Who would know what was going on? Business could not function. A chaos indescribable would inevitably result.

AND BLACK , AN EIGHTEEN CARAT JONAH , I By Blanche Klein IMMY BAXTER, fullback and cap- tain of the Classon University foot- ball team, rushed breathlessly int: thc makeshift office which Nat Smith, head coach, maintained in a remote cor- ner of the gymnasium. Natl Nat! he cried, his voice vibrant with excitement, I've got him! I've got him l The head coach, who wore a worried, hunted look that contrasted strangely with his boyish face, blonde hair, and athletic figure, looked up impatiently from his work. He had been moving a group of blue-headed tacks about a drawing board, endeavoring to demonstrate graph- ically the practicability of a trick play which he and Stewart Henry, his assis- tant, had conceived the night before. You've got soinethingin hc murmured abscntly, you say you've- VVake up! exclaimed Baxter. And listen! I've got him, I tell you! 1-lim?

Smith leaped to his feet, upsetting his drawing board. He seized. Baxter is shoul- ders in a grip which made the big full- back wincc and gazed open-eyed into the captain is face. Is that on the level, Jimmy, he cried. You've really-you're not fooling? Anything but! I dug him up in the law school. liiglztven The law school! A left halfback in the law school! NVasting his time and talents on Blackstone and-and-wliat ever else they study in law schools! You're kidding me, Jimmy l Hope to die! vowed Jimmy. His own roommate gave me the tip-off on him. The two of them came here from some little fresh-water college out NVest.',' Oh l Nat Smith lost his happy, hope- ful smile. Then he 's just a- He ain't! He 's a pippin! Listen to this, I wrote it down so's to give it to you straight. Jimmy dug a wrinkled sheet of writing paper from his pocket, and began to read: against Michigan year before last- the head coach 's eyes lighted at the mention of an institution which he knew had real football teams- this bird got loose four times, each time running the length of the field for a touch- down ! Hey! Hold up! interrupted Nat. I don 't remember Michigan being beaten by-i!7 She wasn,t,'.' said Jimmy. lVell, what became of this bird 's touchdowns ? ' ' I-le never made them, replied Jimmy, referring to his paper. - Baxter, who was struggling hard trying to read his own writing, looked up just in time to duck as Nat leaped at him. Nat upset the table, breaking an electric lamp and a collection of glass and china, knicknaeks. He cxtricated himself from the wreckage, and started for Jimmy again. i. ..Y..x-l-'sf a ll 41---.-- ,N f, ' 'U' N'---, ' e a. A gy.. i . ,f .

I've got this guy's full record. Let me tell you the whole storyf' Nat gave him a little tussle for the chair., Then he let go of it, and pulled down his cuffs. Go ahead, he said. 'tit you can- explain how any guy can make four touchdowns-and still not make them -you're smarter than I ever credited you witl1 being! By the way, what was the score of this game with Michigan? Eighty-six to nothing, said Jimmy. In favor of Michigan. Nat put his hands to his head, and rocked back and forth as though in agony. Holy Mosesll' he groaned. What kind of rules were they playing under? One guy gets off to four touchdowns- and his team beaten eighty-six to not.h- ing! I've heard enough, he decided. Get to blazes out of herein Jimmy looked hurt. 't'l'he reason, he said, that this bird 's touchdowns didn't count is that SOIHC- body was otfsidc, and they called him hack after he 'd made them. Sounds like the Arabian Nights! muttered Nat. It does read fishy, admitted Jimmy, but this fellow's roommate showed me newspaper clippings to prove it. And thatis 11ot all. He tll1'11Cd over his sheet of paper, and began anew his struggle to interpret his OWII letters. Against Chicago, he read, he kicked seve11 field goals- Every one of which bounded back from the crossbarln Nat finished for him. No, said Jimmy, only three did that. The other four wereu't allowed be- cause of offside play. I suppose, suggested Nat sarcastic- ally, ' i11 that game he also ran the length of the field eight times, only to break his leg as he reached the one-yard line. No, smiled Jimmy. In that game he only get away to five touchdowns, o11e of which counted. How nice ! said Nat. One counted. 'Yes. The other four were disal- lowed- For oifside play. I can al111ost sing it- now I said Nat. No, not for otfside play-for slug- ' 7? ging. How wicked of his teammates to slug!

But haven 't you bee11 able to exhume from the archives any records of his exploits ,standing up? Didn't this dashing left halfback even win a game? Oh, yes, grinned Jimmy. The Uni- versity of Central South Dakota, where he used to play, beat Neal College. They did! And by a large score?

The foot hurt him but he grinned and went on. Joy was in his heart. He had dreams of winning the North Atlantic t'hampionship. NVhen Updike opened his door to Nat, the first thought that came into Nat's head was, how this husky looking young- ster could have crossed the campus twice without being summoned in for football.

Updike was a Hpippinng he could kick a perfect field goal, he made the big varsity fellows feel like infants the way he handled that ball. All went well until toward the end of practice. Updike was tearing down the field with the ball with such a determined look on his face, that all the team was glad he wasn-'t on the opposing side. Mickey Rowen, Classon's all-star end, grabbed for Joshua as he went whizzing by. Sud- denly 4'Miekey felt himself being car- ried through the air, then all was blank.

BLACK RUFFLES By Ruth Morris HE Masters' School of Expression Alice didn't mind a bit but tripped was giving a play. lt was in eele- lightly down the dirty corridor, humming bration of some anniversary and was such a big affair that the largest the- ater in the city-which happened to be the Hippodrome-was engaged for one evening. Practicing had been done inthe school auditorium, but the dress rehearsal, which took place two days before the show was to come off, was held one afternoon in the large vaudeville theater. Alice was the leading lady. Everyone that she had the part. She those favored mortals that we see none too often in this imperfect old world of ours. She was so claintily pretty that it was pleased was one of was a delight to look at her. She was talented enough to make her teachers sit up at the really remarkable ability she displayed. She was such a lovable girl that her school chums adored her and never drealned of being jealous of her. The rehearsal had gone off beautifully and when it was over everyone had swarmed upon the stage to compliment Alice and enthusiastic girl friends to kiss her, and Alice was all flushed with pleas- ure and excitement and being kissed. Then everyone had gone off to their various dressing rooms to remove costumes and make-up, and Alice had gone up to hers. Her costume was an elaborate one and took a long time to remove, and fold up, and lay away preciously in her suitcaseg and when she was once more in her street clothes 'the great dingy back-stage of the theater was quiet and getting a tritle dark in spite of the electric lights. ' softly to herself with happiness and satis- faction, and thinking, perhaps, of that rosy future that seemed so certain and near on occasions like this. A door along the corridor was open and there was a light in it and in passing Alice glanced in. Then she stopped and gave a little exclamation of delight. She had been to the Hippodrome the evening before with Bob, and one number, not the headliner, had so enchanted them that they had dis- cussed it 1'apturonsly all the way home. lt was a girl and boy, song and dance number, saturated with the sheer joy of existence, and pretty music, and graceful dancing, and beautiful costumes. And here was the young lady of the act stand- ing over an ironing board on which was the prettiest costume of them all! If ,l were to devote three whole pages to it l never could make you realise-tliat costume. I might describe it and you'd say sneeringly, t'Ilve seen a hundred just like it, and so you have, but they weren 't that costume! To be brief, it was of the Colonial period with a tight little bodice laced with narrow black velvet ribbons, and a. very, very, very wide skirt with a great many ruffles on it, about fifty, l guess, all edged with black velvet bands. Hut that doesnit make you see the par- ticular shade of lavender-pink it was, or perhaps it was light blue with a rosy light thrown over it by the limelightg but at any rate, the I'll3l'Hlf71t' was ravishing.

You see, said Alice confidingly, I Petted as she had been all her life, Alice was not very timid about acting on her impulses, and so, after she had stopped, and given a, little gasp, and had seen the girl at the board lift her head toward her, she said, flushing at her own boldness : May I come in a little while? The girl at the board had a very sweet face, a trifle worn, and pale, but sweet. She smiled at Alice, and her smile was very pleasant to see, and saidi Certainly. Come right in, and Alice walked in. She deposited her suitcase on the floor, seated herself on a little stool, and watched the worker in silent enjoyment. The young actress was 'very carefully ironing the first of the many ruffles, with uicety putting the point of the iron into each fold and removing every wrinkle. Alice followed the process attentively, and then she settled herself back comfort- ably and said with a bright little air of good' fellowship: I saw you last night. You did? The actress looked up and smiled, and then bent over her work. Yes, and I liked you the best, the very best, on the program. 77 The actress 's smile was pleased. Oh, said Alice again, you can't imagine how I've always wanted to see a real actress from near. And then to see the actress you want most of all to see l-It 's-it 's just thrilling l Again the exceedingly sweet smile of the girl at the board. She had started on the second ruffle and was working as carefully on it as she had on the first. '1'zs.'er1!y-Iwo mean to be an actress, toof' Yes'Z smiled the girl at the board. Oh, yes. Ever since I was a baby I've wanted to be one. I can't remem- ber a time when I didn't mean to act. My parents were always real nice about it and let me take up dancing and sing- ing and elocutiou-and I guess I'll be able to become an actress. Assurance in that last, but you could forgive it in look- ing at Alice's radiant face. People sometimes laugh at you, or sneer at you, when you tell them you want to be an actress,'but I don't see why. It 's a noble work, too. r Alice was nursing a knee now, and her face wore a look of seriousness that made you want to pinch her cheek. She made a charm- ing picture. The girl at the board began on the third ruffle. You know, it's al- ways struck me like this: the world, or people, or civilization, or S01H6tlllllg,'2ll- ways seems to me like a dress. And busi- ness men and farmers, and housewives, and workers seem to me like the stuif the dress is made of, and weiactressesf' fthe girl at the ironing board smiled at that, tool and musicians, and artists, and writers seem like t.he ruifles, on the dress, the lace, the little fancy collars and euifs. Of course, the goods the dress is made of is the most important because it's the dress itself, and we ruffles are just the trimmings. But who would want a dress without any trimmings? A person like- like Aunt Miranda in 'Rebecca of Sunny- brook Farni' would. fWtIS the girl iron- ing familiar with that work? Her smile was as sweet and noncommittal as ever.j Of course, said Alice wisely, a dress 'IlT- if I ,gf I ' e -if 'Sf-aewffaasf' r e- f 4 ...Q .g g A nfl f lujryvwt- 4-egg: 'I 1,1 5 I ND, .-K 8752,- '- 'S I. -' L- I 0.7 5 7, ' . f .

There must be more workers than entertainers and beautifiers. But the world would be a gray, ugly place if it wasn't for us. The girl ha.d finished two ruffles dur- ing this long speech. Alice watched her, dreamily. '- Still, I feel so sorry for the poor, hum- drum common workers. And I'm so glad that I won 't ever have to be one, that God meant me for the trimmings. The girl had scorched a tiny spot on a ruffle. She bent over it coneernedly. I11 doing so she touched her finger with the iron. She muttered something under her breath which Alice eouldn't hear, and sucked the burn with her lips. Alice was solieitous and remained silent a moment, but when the girl turned once more to her work l1er face was as sweet as ever, and Alice re-settled herself on the stool and continued her prattling brightly. You people ean't really ever be un- happy, can you? Because every night you must get up before that audience and be happy, and when you make yourself appear happy you really become so, don't you? Oh, I know getting up in front of an audience makes you happy, Fife been in front of lots of audiences and I'm hap- pier then than at any other time of my life. I feel so nice and homey when I get ou the boards. I adore half-seeing that big audience out there, knowing that every one of them is looking at me and watching every move I make. I adore looking up, up, straight into the limelight and being blinded by it and not being able to see for a whole minute after, nothing AND .'. BLACK but red and green. She was rhapsodiz- ing now, quite lyrically. But I guess once you get used to acting noneof those things mean anything to you, she fin- ished half apologetically. The girl was about a third through with the ruffles. She drooped a. little over the board but she worked on patiently. There were so awfully many ruffles to be ironed. Alice began to be a little abashed by them. She heard a cheery whistle and a light footstep out in the hall and a young man came into the room and greeted the girl at the board with a Hello, Sis! Alice 's heart gave a jump. She recognized the other partner of the act. Then the young man caught sight of her. Well, look at the little queen, he said, giving her a starelof thelfrankest admiration. Alice flushed -happily. If one is going to make one 's living by- one 's beauty, it is good to be assuredtliat one has that asset. A - , . The young man planted himself in front of her with his legs well apart. Some baby-doll, I'l1 say! he said, and the look he fixed on her was one of approval. Alice began to grow uneasy. Won't yuh introduce? he said, evi- dently addressing the girl behind him but keeping his eyes on the now confused Alice. But the girl at the board who was hidden from Alice evidently did not intend to do so, for she saidnothing. I suppose she doesn't like him to look at me like that, Alice thought. You al- ways read of actresses being jealous. 'fNVhat do you think of.her'? said the girl finally. She's gonna become one of us. - . ,.

They always speak like that, thought Aliee, And yet they picked out the life. If they want to they can go back to of- iiees and stores, but I don't see them doing it. NVell, kiddie, l'll bet you'll get to be a headliner, too, with that face of yours. Ifle gave her a last admiring look. Then he turned to the girl at the hoard. Just dropped in to see what was keeping you. llurry up and finish and don 't tire y0lll'- self out. S'long. Silong, kiddie. He saluted them, eomieally, and strode out whistling again. thought a little wistfully, It, Alice must be heavenly to sing and dance every night with a man like that. He 's the best, looking lllilll I ever saw outside of the movies. I wonder it she really is his sis- ter. Or maybe they 're married. Or may- don't care a, snap about each other, though I don't see how that can be they be. Alice gave her attention to the girl again. I-ler face had neither lighted up nor grown darker at the entrance and exit of the handsome youth. She still worked at those rutfles. She was only half through. lt troubled Alice, for some reason or other. Fnriously she had noth- ing more to say. The girl worked o11 dnmbly. The smile on her face had grown rather faint but that had not made it lose any of its sweet- Tweu ty-four' ness. I'Ier baek was rounded over the board and her head hung wearily to one side. Aliee tilnidly offered to help but the girl shook her head, while the smile came back, as beautiful as before, though it went out soon. Alice almost felt as if she were in the way, then, besides, it began to be dull, watching the actress iron those interminable ruffles. So she said goodbye, picked up her suitcase, and took her leave. She almost felt relieved when she was out of the room. The girl at the board worked on. From time to time she stopped to rest, but only for a short while. Finally she brought over the stool Aliee had been occupying and sat upon it while she worked. Revo- lution after revolution made the dress over the narrow board, and ruffle after ruffle came out from beneath the iron neatly pressed. The last ruffle was fin- ished and she slipped the dress off the board a11d hung it up. 'There was no look ofpride on her faee for the finished work, only tiredness. She seated herself on the stool. She dropped her faintly perspiring faee on her arms on the board. She said, Oh, God I with a, long, shuddering intake of breath that sounded like a sob .... Then she got np, took a modish wrap from a hook on the wall, and slipped it carefully over her shoulders. Before the tiny mirror she arranged a. daring little red turhan at a still more daring angle over her curls-hairdresser's curls. She applied a powder puff vigorously to her nose, and something pink.t.o her cheeks. For after all, she had her business in life. -She turned out the light and left theroom. 4 ,Lf '.fv 1 V. l Y '- D A '--. , ?-,-v Q al., ,. , . ,'. r J- A,-X Urns, ', ,. ...

RED AND BLACK THE SENIORS By Margaret Shewmaker N spite of the war, which upsetthe entire world, and the intluenza epi- demic, which closed the public schools for several weeks, the class of June, 1921, has successfully completed the required four years' work. The class that entered Central in Sep- tember, 1917, was quite large and the standard has been maintained as can be seen by the number of graduates this term. Last September the Sevens organized with Miss Olmstead as sponsor. 'What a lucky class! Johnnie Mathews was KC elected Presidentg Mary Hughes, Vice- Presidentg Jaek Reynolds, Treasurer: Minna Schmiedes, Secretary. One could easily pick out a New Senior by his Red and Black button, worn always in a con- spicuous place. The tirst social affair was a. rainy-day picnic at the Chain of Rocks. Did you ever eat. 'thot dogs cooked in rain water? They are goodg especially if one is luuigry. We enjoyed the Hallowe'en dance given for us by the Seniors and also the theater party at the Shubert-Jefferson at- tended by both classes. NVe displayed our ability to amuse and entertain at the C'hrist.mas dance for our departing friends, the Seniors. After more business transactions we organized as dignified Seniors, and elected Johnnie Mathews,Presidentg Mary Hughes, Vice-Presidentg Jack Reynolds, Treasurer, and Ethel Durnell, Secretary. Following up the start made in our seventh term, we mixed work with pleas- ure. Someone suggested a picnic with the result that the Seniors spent a de- lightful day at Tanglewood, the home of Billie Snell, After hiking a full two miles from the north end of the Broadway ear line, we came to a large, roomy mansion of the colonial style. WVith music within for the dancers and a big: outdoors for the athletes, everyone managed to enjoy himself. The crispness of the air compelled us to eat indoors and the congestion in the lunehroom is noth- ing compared to the fioek of hungry birds that flew into the dining-room at the sound of the dinner-bell. VVe returned home ti1'ed but happy after trudging some distance in a drizzling rain. The second trip made by Miss Olm- stead's family to the Snell- home Cll- abled the skilled and also the unskilled to show their ability in handling' a bow and arrow. Wh-o was the best. Indian? VVhy, there wasn't any bex! Indian. Crack-the-whip, drep-the-handkerchief, three deep, and the farmer in the dell were some of the games played on the lawn. They even went so far as to jump rope like they did when children. This re- mark was made by a, dignified Senior. VVhen children? XVhat will we be five years from now? . After chasing down an appetite, a bread line was formed a.t the rear of the house and after duly signing Billie 's G. G. book, we received our refreshments and strolled off to eat in some quiet spot Tzeezzfy-fiw ,4L,..:,---' 3 g H v - ' -' vw ' Qibaiwgyf if 1 f , . ff 1.1 'in p f --4 l'+3ki5gGw,V '. i ' Li, tE4f5'f 'lm ZW f'fy5- I 'T,T T H E . R E D A N D B L A C K where a fellow Senior would not try to capture our cheese or cake. Everyone present agreed that the Snells were the kindest-hearted family in existence to endure our nonsense for two whole days. ,Y The New Seniors made their debut at the April Fool 's party held in the Gym. The talent shown by the Senior boys was but a sample of what they are ea- pable. The Snappy Show you will admit was surely worth the money. A pretty good performance, I should say. The minstrel took you down to the plantations of the South where banjos and mandolins play a prominent part. The athletic tendencies of the girls in the class were widely advertised in the second act. Their dramatic talent is hard to mat.ch. I am sure you were all pleased with t.he staging of VVay Down East. Also, the aid we rendered to the new school band with the proceeds of the show has enabled them to purchase needed accessories. The thanks of the class are duc Miss VVatson for her splendid work in coaching the show. Speaking of dramatic talent, words can- not express the excellence of the class play. In spite of the fear which gripped the heart of every Senior when Mr. Strat- ton's departure was announced, the class play, Barbara Freitchie, given under the able direction of Miss Eimcr, turned out splendidly. To all these activities, G. G. books and Senior pictures might be added. Will you write in my book? Take my book home? Did you get your proofs? Oh, I don 't like them! They flatter you! NVhieh do you like best? Just a few of the ques- tions and remarks hea.rd often in the cor- ridors and classrooms. You can readily see that we have been very enthusiastic. For four years we have looked forward to the day when we would receive our diplomas as one of the hap- piest days of our life, but now that it has come we wonder how we will manage to get along without old Central. lVe have followed the path made by preceding classes and now take our place among Centralls 8,000 Alumni--but that does not mean that we shall forget our Alma Mater or cease to take an interest in her.

Fa:-Q rf?-p., THE RED AND BLACK 'T THE DOWN-TRODDEN By Grace Langah OR ever and ever the feelings of the helpless and sympathetic Public have been played upon. They have had thrust upon them repeat- edly the old and thread-bare story of the poor widow, who cannot pay off the mort- gage, and who is consequently turned out upon the eold, cold streets to freeze and starve. Of course, just as the last ieicle is forming somewhere, on some part of her anatomy, and her nose has developed a rosy hue, her wayward son turns np. In his younger days he had been inclined to do things a bit different. He had once relieved the next door neighbors of a few trifles. lt was a. very trivial matter, however, the people were disgustingly unreasonable, and he was compelled to retire from soeiety for a short time. Now he is very wealthy, being a retired saloon- keeper. lle tells his mother how he has regretted his evil ways, and now it is his only desire to make her happy. She turns tear-stained eyes to him, and repeals, My little boy! My little boy! To think how he has changed l Even he, hardened as he is, cannot help wiping away a tear, when he sees how worn and tired she is, a11d says, with a voice shaking with emotion Qnothing elsej, Mother, henceforth your home shall be with me, and with these words he carries her to his waiting machine. Of course, she is happy ever after, and lives to see her son happily married to the daughter of a wealthy soft drink manufacturer. Then, there is the touching tale of the little orphan, who always seems so out of place amongst the other children. Her features are finer, daintier, more distinct- ive looking. Of course, she possesses in- nate refinement. This goes without say- ing. One day, as she is playing with some street urchin, a tall, handsome man with hair slightly gray about the temples steps out of a Packard, comes up to her, and cries, My child! My child! My long- lost Elsa! H She returns the embrace, and in turn cries, My father! My father! He gathers her up in his arms, tenderly, and says brokenly, to the chauffeur Home, James, homef' As he is in the act of putting her into the ear, a man comes up and tries to snatch her out of his arms. The father 'recognizes him, and cries, Jack Dalton, give back the 77 ehildf' The next chapter tells us how a wicked eousin sought to deprive her of her in- heritance. He kidnaps her at the age of two. But the wicked plans of the villain loving are foiled. Although it took the father eleven years to find his lost ehild, he never clcspaired, and is at last re- warded for his perseverance by finding her at the age of thirteen. Five years later we meet her again-a charming debutante. Then she makes a brilliant marriage, and that is all we hear of her.

AND BLACK eruelties of the wicked and the evil. Yet, few people have ever thought of extend- ing' the least bit of sympathy to one of the most mistreated mortals in the world, to-wit, a. Little Sistern. A Little Sisteru is a girl anywhe1'e between the ages ot twelve and sixteen, the age when she can have no matri- monial designs. She is subjeeted to every indignity and humiliation. She is usually lanky, and yearns to be called slender or willowy, but is always asked on mo- mentous oeeasions, such as when the next door neighbors come to pay their respects for the first time, or when her bitterest enemy, the music teacher, is there, why she doesn't go into the eireus and do the Tall Lady. Now, I would like to give the story of every Little Sisteru, but as this is im- possible, l' shall have to content myself with the story of Gwendlyn Jones, aged fourteen, to my mind one of the most llllS- treated of her kind. By Gwendlyn's very name you can see that she was destined to be romantic, and to crave things out ot the ordinary. And she -was romantic, 'l'here was no doubt about it. Why, hadn't she read every dime novel from I.1'.:.fJiv'.v Rise from the Clliiffl' to ll'ilt'li llnsel? Though tlwendlyn is a very demo- cratic so1't of person, the matter of her reading' is not limited to plain, ordinary folks. She knows quite a bit about the nobility. She has dreams about having her coffee brought to her bed, and being addressed as My Lady , and having her slightest wish deferred to. Think, per- haps you yourself, between these very ages, have had these self-same aspirations. Forty-eight But please do not think that 1 mean to ridicule them by revealing them to the Publie. Nay, nay, I commend thee. Why. I myself aspired to the hand of a Prince! Now this was not all Gwendlyn as- pired to. She longed to be able to say that she had fallen heir to some marvel- ous heirlooms, handed tl0W11 by illustrious ancestors. But the only sort of heirlooms Gwendlyn ever fell. heir to were old clothes. In fact, at all times, on all oe- casions, she was fitted out with the most ancient wearing' apparel, whose pedigrees were almost as long as those I have just mentioned. They were usually l1er Aunt Belinda 's, who had been a belle in her day, or some other kind relation's, or Sister Mary's. VVhen she receives them from Sister Mary it is very humiliating, because Sister Mary is so base as to taunt her with it. Sister Mary is twenty-eight. and has not yet captured any male, which has caused the family a lot of anxiety. They tremble lest she live out her remaining' years in single blessedness. l'herefore, all their money and efforts are concentrated on Mary, and Gwendlyn is compelled to wear her cast-offs, or, it l were slangily inclined, I might eall them 'tliainl-uns downs ' '. E Gwendlyn's mother not only objects to purchasing' anything' new for her, but she objects to the very way Gwendlyn eonverses. For example: Gwendlyn, get me some pepper. 1'm all out of pepper.

It was so undignified to be threatened with el1astise1nent. But sl1e saw her mother was in earnest, so she put down the book, wl1icl1 l1ad a pa- per cover, and started off for the un- romantic pepper. Now, this only serves to show you how inisunderstood Gwendlyn was at l1o1ne. There was absolutely no 0116 who under- stood a nature like hers, except maybe llffl' brother. Gwendlyn was a cheerful little body, though, Ellld seldom allowed things to trouble l1er. She was invited to a party and she had nothing to wear, except an old brown taffeta dress, thai. had adorned the once slim figure ot her 01106 slim sister. Sl1e was about to in- dulge in a good weep, but she controlled her tears and then went to her trunk and took out the brown taffeta.. She tried it on a11d surveyed herself in the mirror. Then' she sat down, a11d smootl1ed out a wrinkle. She sn1ootl1ed it again and again. But it was no use. The tears would come, and tl1ey did. One rolled down slowly but surely, and tl1e11 was followed by another illld another, till there was quite a pleasant pitter-patter upon the hated brown dress. Just then a knock came at the doo1'. Gwendlyn said in an imperious voice, that did full justice to her long association witl1 the regal Lady Rose, 'D0u't come in. VVhy, what 's the 111i'ltt01'?H Oh, is it you, Jim? All right, conu- 77 . KK Jim was her b1'otl1e1', and his first brotherly ejaculation was: YVhy, Niagara Falls, what's the mat- ter? N-nothing, except that I want to die. Die, my child? At fourteenln You see, brother Jim was just twenty-one and consequently put on a good many airs, such as calling his sister child, alld in- fant and other names equally degrading to a. young lady who is going on her fif- teenth year. But, on tl1e whole, Jim was a pretty nice brother, and had to he par- doned for these sligl1t presuniptions. W-well, you see, shehegan, Pm goi11g to a party a11d I have to wear this, this, tlzisf' a11d Sl1C beat her llil,l1tlS upon the dress fiercely. Jim wanted to laugh, it was so funny, but he saw that Gwendlyn was in no 1ll00d to tolerate laughter. So instead he said: Calm thyself, fair sister, and let ine look at tl1e gown that thou despiseth sof' She walked toward him, and he scru- tinized the dress carefully. Even l1e co11ld not help seeing wl1at a shabby affair it was. IVhile he was musing, she broke in again: Yes, and what do I look like i11 it? Like 'a babyli' This last was uttered in a to11e of the deepest scorn, for nothing could be so disgusting to a young lady, F a rl y'lI i ne ii ii ---' 3 rw' '- ' Nw --iii 'B6gg q1:g, ,fi dim' 5 , -' ' - .., :t.l -is SW!

AND BLACK who had attained the honor of fourteen years, as to look like a baby. This was the first time that Gwendlyu had rebelled and Jim saw that her anger must be appeased, so he tried joking. Sister Gwendlyn, he said, drawing himself up to his full height and then making a low obeisance, Command me, and your word will be law. She stood irresolute, as if undecided whether to confide in him or not. Come, he Said, can anything be 1no1'e humble? He struck an abject pose and cried dramatically, Behold Uriah Hecplu Brother Heep, arise and give me coun- sel. Sister Gwendlyn, the only counsel that I can give you is to bear in silence, and he hung his head i11 mock sorrow. 'Tian nothing be done? she asked anxiously. ' ' Nothing. NVell, as you say, and she left the room, dejection personified. At the supper table that night Gwend- lyn was informed that she would remain at home and entertain Mr. Sandy when he came. Mr, Sandy was the latest per- son that Mary had settled her affections on, and as he evidently seemed powerless to resist, the family were soon expecting a formal declaration of love. In fact, it had come to the point where Sister Mary was afraid to allow Mother and Sam to speak. She was afraid Mother would not be able to resist giving her ring measurement, or volunteering her services as witness. For Mary 's pre- vious suitors had, by some act of cun- ning or ingenuity, managed to extract ,zfffry themselves from her matrimonial clutches. This time, though, it really looked as if good fortune were ready to smile on Sis- ter Mary. And so Gwendlyn was commis- sioned to entertain Mr. Sandy. Gwendlyn talked to him for a while about his health. In return for her pains she had to answer the questions that are put to every fourteen-year-old girl. XVhat grade was she in? Did she like her teacher? Did her teacher like her? VVas she a good girl? Did she annoy her teacher? Did she help her mother? Then Sister Mary made her entrance. She came in very sweetly and modestly, with eyes becomingly lowered, and made herself very solieitous about Mr. Sandy's health, welfare, etc. Mr. Sandy showed his appreciation by saying that he needn't ask about lzcr health. Anyone could see that she was the picture of health, and perfect girlhood. At the word girllzood Mary fairly ex- panded, she was so puffed up. Oh, Mr. Sa11dy,U she said coyly, how can you tell such a falsehood? NVhy, 1 look forty at least. Mr. Sandy responded nobly. Why, you don't look a day over six- teen. tThe sixteen was said very feebly.j And so they spoke for a while, Gwend- lyn ehiming in IIOVV and then. Then she was informed that it was time all little girls were in bed. Now, if she had been asked in the proper way-the way a young lady should be spoken to, her feel- ings would not have been so hurt. As it was, she went to her room, crushed and broken in spirit. Oh, how her pride was CContinued on page 125D ,J 3.1 , .H '- wut NF---+7 0555-'gt,:L V, .

AND BLACK THE QUITTER By Waldo Browne AD HOLBROOK cleared his throat, drank some water, and shifted himself into a more restful posi- tion. Everyone knew that this was the prelude to a story, so all eyes were turned to where our popular coach sat. 'tShortly after l completed my course at a school for physical instructors and gymnasts I was otfered a position in a. small college in the Middle VVest which l shall call tYates.' As I had accepted the position in the middle of the term, my first task was to coach the track team. As is usual when a new coach takes charge of a department, a large number of students came out who would not other- wise have done so. They presented them- selves in as many varieties as the number which made the pickle famous. I ex- pected some trouble at first because of my method of coaching, because of its be- ing new to the candidates and because the coach the previous year had been rather poor in discipline. But after the first few days I had little trouble. One of the aspirants for the mile was a fellow to which the term 'ordinary' would tit with perfection. In the class rooms he answered to the name of Hen- derson, but he was known to the school in general as 'The Quittei-.' His special trick would be to quit in a. race just about where a runner begins to feel the evil etfects of the grind. He would do all sorts of distance work by himself, and one day I timed him for a mile without his knowing it. lVhen I looked at the time I eouldn't refrain from an exclama- tion of surprise. He had come within two seconds of the conference record. There a1'e seine runners who run for the sheer joy of running. It seems to take all the joy out of the running to make it competitive. I wondered whether or not Henderson was one of these, so one after- noon I called him over to me and began to question him. lt appeared that he had done no track work before, so I thought it wise to give him an idea what he could expect to meet with in his track work. I told him that track men generally can be divided into two elassesg iirst, the natural born athlete to whom ability to break records came with little 4-Hortg then there was the class to which most track aspirants belong-the type who must work hard before their etforts are crowned with success. His worst fault, I told him, was that hc ran too hard at-the beginning of the race and when the place came where he must draw upon his reserve power he found he had none. -It had been used up. The pace-setter, usually, is a rmmer put there for the special purpose of drawing out the other runners and make them run themselves out too soon. For that reason the pace-setter in the early part of the race, unless he is ex- ceptionally good, seldom wins his race. I cautioned him against running -too far back as that was even still worse. -His position at the start and the place where he was to begin moving up on the leader could only be gained by experience.

I dismissed him advising him to think over what I had just been telling him, to think long and hard over it before at- tempting anything. One afternoon Yates was having a meet with a small near-by college. Hen- derson ran a. fine race for a. half mile and then suddenly stepped off the track and out of the race. He had quit. The next time I noticed him he was walking without a limp. His face bore a cynical sneer, and his eyes glanced sneak- ily about trying to avoid me, every time we passed each other. Needless to say, I was disgusted with him. I said nothing, however, having decided to await further developments. Finally the day of days arrived, the day of the meet with Kitriek, Yates' old and bitter rival. Kitrick had wo11 the meet for several years and every loyal Yates 1na11 was 'pulling' hard for our team to break its string of defeats. The team was fairly evenly balanced, the only weak spot being in the two-mile run. I was called away just before the start of the two-mile that day. I was hurrying toward the start when I heard the starter's gun and I saw the line of contestants start forward. I was quite surprised when I saw four runners with Yates' colors, and I was still more sur- prised when I saw one of them was Hen- derson. I had entered him in the mile run. I could not quite comprehend how it was that he was running in the two- mile. As the runners passed the finishing post the Clerk of the Course called out, Seven more laps. I saw Henderson Fifty-tfwo AND BLACK give a. start of surprise and the11 the rea- son for his running came over me in a flash. He had mistaken the two-mile for the mile, and, as each school was allowed an extra man to run, whose name would not be on the Clerk 's list, he was allowed to enter the race without question. As Henderson glanced up I nodded my head and said, 'Good work.' He ran a fine race with the exception of the sixth. In that fatal lap he came up almost even with the leader, a Kitrick man, and then a fight for the lead began. The seventh lap was thrilling to watch from the standsg but to the runners them- selves it was agony. The last lap brought every one that was watching the race to his feet. Both the Kitrick and Yates rooters were yelling themselves hoarse. Down the last one hundred yards they came, knees wobbling and bodies sway- ing. I thought they would never finish. Their determination alone kept them 1'll11- ning. Five yards from the tape they were even. At the yard and a half Hen- derson threw himself at the tape and on falling broke the tape with his chest. He had won by an inch. NVe carried l1i1n off of the track and called a doctor to see that he had not strained himself too much. The Yates rooters were almost wild, and it was all the Field Marshals and Cheer-Leaders could do to keep them under control. W'hen Henderson was helped into the dressing room the crowd gave the rolling Yates cheer with a long Henderson after it, a practice which is not often done, and then only for those who deserve it highly.

THE RED AND .'.'BLAC-K THE STUDY OF SCIENCE By Christ Anastasoif HE primary object of education is to train one's mind to such a de- gree as to be able to understand the different modes of activity in the world of today. In order to develop our minds for the proper understanding of these things, certain mental training is prerequisite. The object of this article is to emphasize to high school students the importance and the nature of the study necessary to attain this end. Suchitrain- ing should consist of scientific knowledge based upon concrete facts, and not upon mere abstract reasoning. X Human society has passed through a process of development, and reached a point, which today we call civilization. The civilized society of today is not yet at the end of its process of evolution. It it still on its way to perfection. In the ancient times philosophy was the source of understanding. It was a specu- lative and abstract system of reasoning. Its mode of thought was deductive. The substitution of Modern Astronomy for Astrology, Modern Chemistry for Al- chemy g the invention of the telescope, the spectroscope, etc., made possible the foun- dation of modern science. No doubt all of us high school students have a tendency towards the adoption of a. scientific method because we are fortu- nate enough to live in thc age of scien- tific reasoning. But are we really getting the' elements of science, which are the only conditions for our scientific method of rea- soning? Do we, as students, realize the fact, that, without a fundamental know- ledge of science, we can't be fit to function as useful members of society? Is not the whole system of the society of today based upon basic scientiic rules? Yet a great many of our fellow high school students neglect, and even avoid, the study of scientific subjects. NVe do not mean to say that the specialization in a branch of science can be accomplished in a four year's high school course, but what we want to point out to our fellow students is the need to take admutagc of the scien- tific subjects, as offered in the high school courses, in order to learn the fundamental principles of science and its relation to human thought and activity. There was a time, when science was a. complex study, making it impossible for a person to specialize- properly. Today nat- ural science is so simplified, each branch treating some certain specific subject, that it is possible for every intelligent person, with sufficient ambition, to specialize in a branch of science. It also makes it pos- sible for us, in the high school, to obtain seine sort of a general scientinc knowl- edge. Such a knowledge is not only in- dispensable t.o every boy and girl, but it is imperative that we should be acquainted with the fundamental principles of science. Of what importance is science to us? What is the advantage of scientific know- ledge? The importance of science and scientific knowledge is of such great value to us that it is impossible for me to ana- lyze all the benefits of it in this short article. With the study of scientific subjects, as Fifty-tlxrre 1 -' ' ' - -- .L new-2 f 1 .--.- - - rQ,,.,.LywgL, --MJ.. fs e e -- , ,f . .. ,-2:1-.f'f 'Ea-. f 4. f .. ,., ,-nf ff' , - - xii -Il 'N L' ' ,'17n .

THE RED ' oifered to us in the high school courses, such as Botany, Physiology, . Physics, C'll0llllSl.l'y, and Physiography, we are be- ginning to learn 11ew things that are dif- ferent from our previous conceptions. lhle begin to move along an entirely 11ew line of mental development. Our previous knowledge of physical and natural phe- nomena consisted for the greater part of a hodge-podge of unrelated ideas. But once we study the subjects mentioned above, we begin to obtain a new concep- tion and give a different interpretation to natural and physical phenomena. From our study of botany we not only learn that the plants are living things, but also that they require certain condi- tions for their growth and distribution, just as human beings do, and that the dif- ferent varieties of species in the kingdom of the plants are indispensable for the maintenance of human life. iVe also learn something about their physiology, multi- plication, etc. From the study of the human physiol- ogy we not only learn the specific func- tions of the different organs, but we also learn their st1'ucture and how to take care of our organic body in order to let the different organs perform their functions as required by nature itself, for the wel- fare of the organism as a whole. From the study of physics we learn about the mechanical laws, sound, light, electricity, magnetism, etc., and their workings, as well as things that overthrow all our previous conceptionof matter, as the low of the f'0HSt?l Z'llfl0l1 of Energy and the I11dc.v'f1'11ctilniJ-ity of illaffm'-tlie basic principle of physical science. t'heniistry, we learn, has great empirical Fifty-four AND BLACK commercial value, and is important to the civilized society of today. VVe also learn the fundamental principle of the science ot chemistry itself, of which we never dreamed about before, the Law of the Li0lIXCI Z'Ufl0ll of illatfer. And from our study of physiography we learn something about the different laws that govern the celestial bodies in the universe, and that on the planet on which we live there is a. continuous ter- restrial change that eau not be noticed by the naked eye. Once we equip ourselves with such a synthetic scientific knowledge, we can easily eradicate superstitious and baseless ideas, and then, in fact, we will be able to put our faculty ot reasoning on a log- ical basis. All this introductory knowledge of science obtained in our high school courses will put us in a position to under- stand and read intelligently the works ot the great men of science, like Darwin, Spencer, Haeckel, Huxley, and others, and thus get a new conception of the entire organic and inorganic worlds. I am em- phasizing this fact because we know that not all of us will have an opportunity to go to a university to specialize in a branch ot' science. There is a stupendous struggle for existence carried on in the kingdom of the plants, and the lower forms of ani- mals+-parasites and workers. Through what directive agencies will we be able to understand such phenomena? No doubt, as I said above, that if we under- take three or four years of science in our high school course, it will enable ns to understand biological subjects and thus F- r' ,.., , . V.

Many of us often say, Of what good is it to study botany, physiography, etc., when there is no practical value in them ll' YVe fail to realize the importance of a knowledge of organic and inorganic evo- lution in our scheme of education. So we see that the study of science is not only indispensable to one expecting to follow at scientific profession, but to everyone.

Jack was noted for its view of the sea. The vivid coloring of the geraniums and nasturtiums contrasted oddly with the vel- vety smoothness of the grass and the clear blue of a calm ocean. On the long broad porch, surrounding the low stucco build- ing, stood Jack Keene. He was talking to Peggy Harlowe, the most popular de- butante of the season. Jack was tall, athletieally built, with yellow hair and blue eyes. He looked dis- tinctly bored and hailed with welcome the tired exclamation: 'WVhew, but 1,111 hot, of his ehum, Bob Carter, who dragged himself up the steps half worn out by a strenuous game of tennis. The three chatted together for a little while and then Peggy excused herself. After she had gone Bob turned to Jaek and said: Heavens, you'd think that girl would be tired of tiirting. Poor Bob, laughingly, ' that shows how little you know about women. You'd better learn something about them while I'm away. Away! VVhere are you going? To Chicago. lVhen do you leave? I must leave tomorrow, so I won't be here for the dance, two weeks from Fri- day night. K The two boys separated, Jack to pre- pare fer his departure and Bob to look for someone to amuse himself with. These two boys, as friendly as they NVCPO,-iV6l'C Fifty -s ix a Aquiet, steady, serious fellow, who loved fun where fun belonged, but needed busi- ness to help him enjoy the fun when it came. Bob was a happy-go-lucky chap who didn't care whether the sun rose in the east or the west, just so it rose some way. Their taste in literature was the same, but they read with entirely different views on the subjects discussed.. Jack was not a bookworm, but he knew how to combine pleasure a11d work so as to en- joy both. It was ia hard thing for him to miss any pleasures. Bob would have missed his business rather than his pleasure, He adored girls, but only as a means of amusement. They were all alike in his opinion. He found them willing to be his playthings and he had no scruples in making them such. lt was Friday night, the night of the Annual Ball.. The air was warm and balmy, the stars shone clearly against the dark sky and the light of the moon pierced every shadow. As one came up the winding drive the lights coming through the windows seemed like so many fireflies alighted for a moment. As one came into the ball-room the atmosphere was more and more that of a fairy scene. The young girls in dainty pastel shades and organdie dresses floated by on the arms of their frock-coated partners. One by one, after the music stopped, the cou- ples came out on the porch. A ' Almost the first couple out were Peggy and Bob. They went down the lawn to the swing at the edge of the pond. Peggy ,.-f . . ' . , 1- ' 1 , , 6 .. if-t . A .

He lit a cigarette, put his hands behind him, and paced up and down before the swing. It was Peggy who started the conversa- tion. Have you heard from Jack, Bob? Yes, I had a letter yesterday. 'tWhat did hc say? How is he do- ing? Oh, he didn't say much. He is com- ing home' the day after tomorrow. 'iI'll be glad to see him. NVon't you? Yes, I suppose so, dejectedly. Why, Bob, I thought hc was your best friendf' He is, Peg. Don't mi11d what I 'm saying. I'm tired and worried. Can't I help you? ' You surely can. Bob said it so eagerly that Peg drew further back into the corner of the swing. Bob continued speaking, however, without giving her a chance to say anything. - Peggy, do you like me? 'tlVhy, yes, surprised. I love you, Peggy. NVon't you marry mc? You will make me so happy. Oh, Bob! Docs that mean yes?,' CKN0 77 Noi astonished. ' ' I 'm sorry, Bob. Don,t say no definitely tonight. Think it over, pleadingly. - They did not go back to the ball room. Neither of them felt like facing the gay crowd again, so they rode through the park silently and then drove home. The next, day Bob was as joyousnas though 'nothing had happened. He was confident that Peg, after thinking the ,sv V Q5 ,,-ws, emi' fg- J., ff? i a nfs D A N D B L A C K matter over, would accept him. That was the secret of his success in life-he was confident. In every other crisis his con- fidence had been rewarded and he was certain that it would be in this case also. Moreover, had not Peggy been eager for his company, had she not invited him to escort her to a dance? He reasoned that she must like him. She did. All that day she, too, was joyous and happy. She sang and danced and gave little ecstatic leaps into the air. She was like a flower rocked in the breeze of her emotions. She liked Bob, oh, so much, and now, when the full sway of his personality was over her, she loved him. She was a very impressionistic little Miss. She was as easily led as a little wooden duck on wheels, but she had cer- tain well-defined ideas of manhood and now, even now, she felt that there was something missing in Bob. She could not help contrasting his impulsive, selfish pro- posal with that of J ack 's. The night be- fore he went away, he had proposed, and even in the midst of his perplexity he had thought only of he1'. How happy he would make her! She had told him she would give him his answer when he rc- t.urned. In the middle of these refiec- tions the telephone bell rang. It was Bob. I didnt call you up to hurry your answer, Jack is coming i11 tonight. I just received a telegram and thought you might like to go to the station with mc. I'm afraid I can't go, Bob. I'm not 3 dressed yet and it will take too long. You two boys come and have supper up here. HAH right, dear. Good-bye. Fifty-.frzfen Good-bye, Bob.

VVhy, she could not tell, for it was the last of her desires to anger or wound Bob. He was a good boy and she liked him. Somehow, after Bob called up, she was far more excited than before she had heard his cool, confident voice. Surely, I must be in love when I'm thrilled at the sound of his voice, sl1e thought. lf his voice thrills me what will his presence do? But, I must not waste tinieg I must get dressed and then prepare supper. ' 3 She put on a very simple blue taifeta dress. It was the favorite of one of the which one she did not remember. boys, After fixing her hair in the most becom- ing fashion, she drew a little antique ma- hogany table into the center of the library, put three little madeira doilies on it, and set it with dainty silver and glassware. Then she decided to make a rarebit for supper. Bob liked that, too. -Really when she thought it over, Bob was a most oblig- ing human, too obliging, in fact. The thought struck her. There was the 'whole thing' in a nutshell, he was too obliging. She would never be able to get along with anyone so perfect as he. She needed someone to dominate her, and in' nearly acter had been lacking. Some day, per- haps, there would come a Prince Charming with a dominating character and then there would be no hesitancy in her answer. She knew now what Bob. ' Now that she had him, she was anxious for the moment to time to think and she would say to decided to refuse come before she had become uncertain again. Each minute was like an hour, and when finally she heard the machine stop in front of the door, she had to force herself to remain seated until she heard the door open. She rose and turned to face the two men both standing silently with their arms out- stretched. Some instinct forced her into Jaekis arms, and from the depth of his protection she gazed up at Bob and ex- plained the thoughts that had crept through her head in the last hour or two. Bob was heartbroken, but he showed more strength of character in those few minutes than anyone had imagined he possessed. You are luckier than I, Jack. I wish you every happiness in the world. And, as is the way with human beings, after the crisis they sat down to a very daintily prepared supper. 1 in ,J . 7, .ul 1,1 V. g.'z,zeat094egf1f1f.'f i af.

BLACK CAESAR'S LAST ESCAPADE. By Frances Ruth ' T is said that in spring a young man's fancy turns toward poetry, while I myself can prove that a young lady 's hats. Consequently Mrs. tnr11s toward Silas Hopkins Palmer found herself pick- ing to pieces vanee spring the new shipments of ad- styles of Porky Priss Hats at the Emporium one Friday after- noon in search of a. suitable hat for her dear Abigail Sophia Jane. One stood out prominently. It had an apple-green brim, sky-blue crown, and an eno1'mons Turkey- red rose reposing nonchalantly against the brim. To be sure, it was a beauty. Who could resist its charms? lt is true that Mrs. Silas Hopkins Pal- mer, President of the Ladies' Aid, and Secretary of the Sunshine Club, turned and turned and re-turned the hat to see if it was worth the two dollars and a half and whether it would rise in appearance to that vast sum. Poor Abigail Sophia Jane stood and stood, first on one foot, then on the other, and at last on both, facing in all directions of the compass consecutively so that, her mother might get all the views of her inthe charming hat. At last when the hat had passed a one hundred per cent test in looks, qual- ity, etc., Mrs. Silas Hopkins Palmer paid almighty two-fifty, and, having gin- the gerly peeked into the hat bag to see if it was all there, marched proudly out of the store meekly followed by Abigail Sophia -lane. This buxom, long-named lassie was not the only source of pride, hope, despair, and joy of a very delicate father and a very robust mother-there was another, Silas Hopkins Palmer, Jr., a frcckle-faced, red-haired, semi-toothless, grinning lad of twelve years, who owned, very much to the neighbors! disgust, a half-grown pig as troublesome and happy-go-lucky as himself, who bore, unlike his youthful master, the brief comprehensive name of Fraser, being so named on account of his determination, victories, and allusions. Caesar was a bane to the whole neigh- borhood, digging up everyone's garden in the ete1'nal search for something to eat. There had been muttered somethings through Squire Palmerls gray, stubby beard about Caesar going to market when he was full-grown, but both Caesar and our young hopeful, heedless of the fast approaching market day, kept on in a round of undisturbed and almost wild merry-making. Thus, in spite of entreaties, bribes, and threats, Caesar royally feasted in neighboring gardens as well as in his ow11. One thing was i11 his favor in spite of his stubborn little head, he had a lov- ing heart and if shown any kindness be- yond the ordinary, he would follow the donor around in the same manner as a dog or trained horse would. ' This particlilar morning young Silas was in a dark mood and anyone who ventured near the young gentleman was in serious danger of having some dire acci- dent befall him. Caesar as usual was the goat, and' in his blind ignorance ventured near and received unjust de- serts. Abigail Sophia J ane, upon hearing his blood-curdling squeals, emerged from Fifty-nine W ag' fVi2,f5-7.1.51 I, - ' A 1-.9g,g-,3.l3,K,5.. .575 ,f 4 N19 'z'-it Y- '. .I Z' sw ' -X, If '- ' -- M., ,, ,.

Having give11 Silas Hopkins Pal- mer, Jr., a deserving thump or two, she actually petted Caesar. After receiving from her mother for the one hundredth time the explicit direc- tions to Be sure and git the best oranges and don 't forgit two dozen bannaners. If you do I'll send, you back again. Tell ole Toney to wait on you in- a hurry fer I need you at home. Don't stay long, cayze you have to dust,', and so forth and so on, she disappeared around the side of the house in the middle of the one hun- dredth and first Be sure, etc., Caesar, overwhelmed by her sudden and unusual caressing, took it into his head to follow her. Having thus made up his mind, he too disappeared around the side of the house. Young Silas sat for a moment rubbing his tingling pate and then, lazily thrusting his hands into his pockets, arose from' the porch step and disappeared in the direction of the hay loft to finish a one and a half inch stub of one of his fath- cr's discarded cigars. When Abigail Sophia Jane emerged through the gate she was immediately seen by Faith Ruskin who lived across the road with her two spinster sisters. Oh, Hope! Oh, Charity! Come here. I kin hardly believe my eyes. Abby Palmer has a new spring bonnet. XVith this speech she stopped breath- lessly and continued to peer over her spectacles. Truly the hat was already beginning to perform its mission. By this time, Faith, Hope, and Charity, too, were peering over the top of their spec- tacles at Abigail Sophia Jane who walked Sixty AND BLACK proudly down the road followed at a rc- speetful distance by Caesar. Well that beats all! What do you call it? 'tl guess it 's a new-fangled style from N ew York. Them styles make people look re-dic- lus. NVonder if her Ma and Pa know it? Sure they do.- They 're worse than she is. Didn't you ever notice Squire 's purple Sunday socks and Mrs. Palmer 's red apern at the sewing bee? They put them idees into her hed. t'She'll be worse 'n Sally Ann Jenkins. Abigail was unaware of the tirade of criticism thrown at thefamily reputation. On and on she walked, sublimely con- scious that she was wearing a new bonnet and that it was creating quite a sensa- tion. Vllhy shouldnlt it, when two crisp new dollar bills and a shining half dollar were squandered on it? Vilas it causing the neighbors to really turn green- with envy? lt seemed to be. The motive of this errand was that Mrs. Silas Hopkins Palmer was going to en- tertain the new minister at Sunday dinner and was sending Abigail to the uptown fruit stand on the farther end of Main Street for fruit. - By the Way, the new minister, Rev. Cecil Ulysses Strong, was not only a solemn, be-speetacled, tall, frail, irreproachable, young man fresh from college, but was also eligible in the matrimonial line and in fact was quite desirable, for as Mrs. S. H. P., Sr., expressed it, He was quite a catch for dear Abigail. Of course, in the usual natural sequence of events the Squire agreed, while the young lady her- I 7,.a1,,,.,',. 4 If V.

Cecil would soon have fallen captive, if- As Abby walked down Main St., she passed the 4'Palmerville Publishing Co. Bldg, the home of the Bi-VVeekly Pal- lnerville Budget. On the morrow snap- shots of the Palmerville belles were to ap- pear on the front page. As yet A. S. J. hadn't had her picture taken, and as she passed, the photographer chanced to glance out and saw her. He dashed to the door, followed by the rest of the staff. That'll make a dandy picture. The photographer rushed into his office, seized his camera and hurried out again. As Abigail crossed to the opposite side of the street he snapped her picture. Sl1e walked down to the fruit stand, procured the required articles, and hur- ried home, amid the amused and curious glances of her fellow pedestrians. Sunday came. Ma was all excited- Rev. Strong was coming home from church with 'then1. NVas everything tip-top? Pa was going through the usual terrible or- deal of trying to put on his stiifvwhite collar, while his mind rested on the Budget which was waiting for l1i1n till after the services.

Silas Jun- ior sat bewailing the fact that he had to sit one whole, long, sorrowful hour in front of Miss Charity Ruskin,-and worse than that, to have to walk home, eat dinner with and even say, Yes, Sir, and t'No, Sir, to the sissified Rev. Strong! How could he stand it? Off they started at last, in high glee. First they met Mr. and Mrs. Hiram House with their young family. Mrs. S. H. ,P.

I guess they'rc up in the air 'cause lVC,1'6 goin' to have the new minister to !7 dinner. Everyone they met acted so queerly. What can be the niatter? -was the pre- dominating question in each Palmer mind. As the services dragged slowly on, the Pahners at least had this consolation, Rev. Strong will come.

AWND BLACK THE STUDY OF THE ANCIENT CLASSICS By Rose Savonovsky HE present is a practical age, people worship at the shrine of the dollar mark. High school pupils often take courses that will enable them to make money as soon as possible- if not sooner. There are people who can and should study -the classical languages, Latin and Greek, but don't do it. For this there are several reasons. Some pre- fer easier subjects, believing it unneces- sary to work hard when it is possible t.o make equally high grades and an equal number of c1'edits with less work. This attitude should not be encouraged because of its lack of ambition. Another reason is that ancient languages that are dead'l don 't seem practical to the modern mind. So determined are some people to get the most. for the least that they sometimes go to extremes and defeat their purpose. One may realize big immediate results, but on the other hand, he may also get results that are not as great immediately, but are more profound and more long-lived. For instance, a man who has a tract of land may plant either cherry trees or potatoes. In the case of the one there won't be any gain at all for several years, while in the other, he makes a profit during the first yearg but in the course of ten or fifteen years wouldn't the cherries prove more profitable? The value of Latin and Greek can not be reduced to dollars and cents immedi- ately, but their cultu1'al and didactic values are inestimable. And then the in- spiration! Is there a greater source of it? Art, literature, oratory, architecture, sci- ence, statesmanship, codes of law, modes of government, philosophy, all had their origin in ancient Greece a11d Rome. Has there ever been an equal to Socrates, the sage, Praxiteles, the sculptorg Perieles and Caesar, the statesmen, Demosthenes and Cicero, the oratorsg Virgil and Homer, the poets? The opportunity to enjoy the majestic simplicity of the expressions of the languages themselves is a. strong inducement to study them, to say nothing about being able to understand the tech- nical terms of mathematics, science, phil- osophy, etc.,-which are also of classical ori- gin. To study modern languages by way ot Latin and Greek is like studying science by the laboratory method. By a little example we shall see the difference be- tween the laboratory and non-laboratory methods. ln Physics we learn that melt- ing iee retains a temperature ot 32 degrees Fahrenheit until it is entirely melted, The pupil learns the fact, but he may or may not understand it. He knows that the melting point of ice, is 32 degrees, but why is the part that is already in a liquid state not of a higher teniperature? The fact is not clear in his mind. The student who goes into the laboratory, takes a heaker of ice, puts a thermom- eter into it, and sees it register 32 degrees till the last bit of ice is melted, perceives the undeniable fact, and comes to the conclusion that the heat is used to change the state of the ice. The same with English. NVhen one looks a word up in the dictionary, for Sixty-llzrcc' i 14+-1-Jli- is 'f'?ftfPgQfc't D if h 1 e l --nZ- v ' e 'wa' ,- A -- 1-5 1 ff' , . -',.- '-Qisagfi 4 QQ: m f , fmW ','f.,,. ff f . 'rg E-,5..fMf':-T THE Ren AND BLACK instance, 1vsycl1ol0g'3', he- learns it, but- does he understand it, feel its meaning as well as does the one who can melt it, if you please, and reduce it to its original form? The student of the Classics knows that psychology comes from two Greek words, one which means mind, and the other, mrcotzuzt or scimzcc: hence psychol- ogy is the science which teaches about the mind. P1'oe'ida, in like manner, comes from two Latin words: one of which means to sec and the other bcfo1'v,' therefore provide means to see beforehand. How- ever, one may ask, why learn two ancient words in order to know one modern one? The self evident answer is that there may be any number of English words from a single root. It would take a great deal of space and the rest of your patience to enumerate all the English words that have Ology from the Greek logos in them, or words derived from the Latin video, to see. In short, the study of English through the classical languages is as val- uable and practical as is the laboratory method of studying science. Because of these obvious facts, we know that the present lack of interest in these studies of paramount importance is but temporary, and before long there will be a second Renaissance, and we shall re- turn to the great fountain of knowledge and art-the ancient classics. ,sq Sixty-f01n' 'F -iG'M f ' 5-ilvofiiw lf-' 'Q i ie.-- ,- ,EOF - M - 'K R ff , ., .,, g . tg, --S'g,,,.eQQw .

VVon- derful eyes in whose mysterious depths snloldered dreams andidreams-each more promising than the o11e gone before, and woe to the doomed male who looked into them for more than the conventional sec- ond. All in all, she was a lovely, chic young Miss, the NVaterloo of any unat- taehed male. Her name, somewhat like that of that other world-famed vamp of yore, was Manctte Du Barry. On this particular afternoon, as'sh,e promcnaded leisurely through the corri- dors of her Alma Mater contemplating the annexation of some unsuspecting vic- tim, she almost. collided with a girl younger than herself and who, judging from appearances, was but a Freshman. Iler eyes shone with the brilliance of un- shed tears. NVhy, what's the matter, Kiddictn inquired our vamp, sympathetically. fl'lease note the worldly S0lll0I',S form of affectionate address to au inferior Fresh- nianj N-nothing, stannncred the Freshman with a trace of tears in her voice. But her grievance, becoming entirely too much for so frail a personage, she burst out vehenicntly, 'tl wish all the hateful, spite- ful, sarcastic creatures called teachers would be somethin g. ' ' executed, or banished, or-or There, there, Kiddie, comforted Man- ette, don't let an insignifeant piece of humanity like a teacher hurt your feel- ings. Does this awful creature happen to be male or female? It is a male, and the crankiest old crab you ever saw. His greatest amusement in life is to see you squirm and groan over his lessons, exams, or biting remarks. To give you an F to help liven up the Christ- mas holidays and make you forfeit that beautiful rose and gold dress your Dad promised you, is hix idea of ascending into the seventh heaven. Oh, if I only had my way about it, I- I- I'df. Oh, l'd make it a reign of terror for the teachers -if only I were king, sighed the poor Freshman despairingly. Never mind, Kiddie, you just listen to one who knows, Zllld I'll give you a few tips about how to humor the average heartless malc,', volunteered the vamp. In thc first place, you must accustem yourself to the idea that the males of the species are nothing more or less than big, blundering, conceited boys who have to bc analyzed, and humored accordingly. There are several rules which apply to men in general, and still others which can be made only after individual analy- sis, but the latter are few. Now, every man has a pet hobby, that is, has a main topic for conversation. Some of these are golf, philosophy, business, politics, personal adventures, bravery, and love affairs. But most mcn just love to talk about themselves. And one of the arts of life is to be a good listener. But, whatever his topic of conversa- Sixty-fi'z'c . ll , 1 I ... - ,.,,f 'iii ' 'L'-t!9 '-sis? ,f . ---. -- 'f .N f -......-.Q A - 'T..-412' I , 'lil Qlff H - 5' .Tir '- ef .ff f 2' 'J' WWF ' ' 'H-' 1-wif'-fzta, . sl A liz, v.ftz4iAm Zm'V 'f i .'3 i'A'rg 'gi--5.1-1 ' THE .

You are also to hang on to his every word and indulge freely in flattery, which should be con- vincingly given, regardless of your pri. vate thoughts. Another plan is to find out the kind of girl he admires and to be that girl. Of course, this latter method is seldom used by love experts because no matter how worldly a man thinks he is, he never knows just what type of girl he does pre- fer, and it is absolutely impossible to at- tain the perfection of the ideal he thinks he admires and which he eventually dis- cards for a mere human. And no matter how much he raves about preferring in- ward beauty to outward, he always takes a girl at her face value. Now, Kiddie, is your formidable dra- gon young and handsome? For me- thinks I have a promising plan hatching i11 this wise little head of mine. Since I believe in giving even the devil his due, I must admit that the crab is young and rather handsome, but heav- ens, what a disposition! Now you'll tell me your plan, won't you? coaxed the inquisitive Freshman. First prepare yourself for a good shock and then lend me your ears, re- plied Mauette. This is my last term at school and I intend to have a final fling. In other words, I mean to vamp your crab and tame him to such an extent, that by the end of'the term he will have become S i.1fl 31 -six AND'.'. BLACK so sociable that I shall have little trouble in getting him to propose. All you have to do is to tell me his name and I shall ask my English teacher to transfer me to one of the dragon is English classes. Then I shall let you stand behind the door while he is proposing and you will have the sat- isfaction of seeing a crab flop. You're on, replied the Fresliman. 'iBut to be frank with you, I don 't think it can be done. You don 't know the crab or you would agree with me. VVhy, it is impossible to be civil to him, let alone vamp him. But if you still care to know his name, it is Carrington. Thanks, was the vamp 's calm reply. I think I'l1 be going. Au retfoir, Kiddie. As luck would have it, Manette was seated directly in front of Ca.rrington's desk, and as she had decided to lose no time in getting down to business, she looked up at him as he spoke, with eyes that shone like dusky stars 011 a beautiful June night. Carrington 's eyes happened to fall upon this incarnation of adorable girlhood, and he stopped short, recovering himself in an instant sufficiently to continue, much to the vampis inward amusenient. But through the entire period he rainbled on enthusiastically, encouraged by her shin- ing eyes. When the class had broken np, Carring- ton glanced furtively at Manette as she retreated slowly. Then he sighed, and a faraway look came into his eyes. At last he had found a brilliant girl, one who could appreciate his eloquence. No more need his brilliant and artistic nature be hidden under a shell of testiness.

RED again gracing the corridor with her pres- ence, she spied Carrington strolling in her direction with his hands in his pock- ets and his eyes- fixed dreamily on the ceiling. She smiled irresistibly as she thought of how human illld how delight- fully like a man he was after all. Sud- denly an idea dawned upon her. Continuing her leisurely gait, she gazed languidly at the ceiling and walked direct- ly into tfarrington. They both stopped short a11d looked at each other with a hurt expression in their eyes. For what causes one more pain than a rudely shat- tered air castle? Tll011 Manette suddenly smiled her ir- resistible .lune smile and said in a sweet, mocking voice, ' I beg your pardon, sir, but I was so lost in admiration for the ceiling did not see where I was going. that I The injured expression in Carrington 's eyes changed to one of amusement, a11d suddenly they both burst out laughing. This broke the' iee immediately and Car- rington. falling i11 with the vamp 's mood, made her a graceful, mocking bow, saying, Lol your most lnnnble slave kneels before you. May he not accompany you in your promenade? t'YVell, responded the vamp, playfully knitting her beautifully arched brows in a vai11 attempt t.o look serious, since you insist I suppose l shall have to consent, if o11ly for politeness, sake. The next morning, while the vamp was on her way to one of her classes, she passed Carrington and, with a pretty bow murmured Good morning, daintily dropping her handkerchief. But before AND BLACK Carrington could recover it for her, she was out of sight. A faint, mysterious, oriental odor hung about it which was strangely suggestive of the va1np's ex- traordinary personality. Carrington felt the full power of this personality as he placed the handkerchief in an inside pocket of his coat. over his madly thump- ing heart. That afternoon, however, as Manette was in her English class, Carrington, in an effort to explain something or other, decided to employ the use of the black- board. But no sooner had he written a few words than he was greeted by a peal of laughter. He looked witheringly at the class, but upon his eyes returning to the blackboard he Hushed painfully. For there, staring back at him, in letters as big as you please, were the words, Beautiful, smoldering black eyesf' A hot wave of anger swept over him as he thought of what a fool he had been in letting a little thing like a girl 's eyes pierce his usual armor of testi- ness and reserve. He hastily erased the silly words fllltl glared at the class so furiously that the laughter immediately ceased. But the vamp smiled sweetly as she thought of how near l1er desire was to gratification and of how little more she had to do toward making it at complete reality. Now Manettc's English class had for some time bee11 reading a play which they had hitherto considered too dry to be Cll- tertaining. On this particular afternoon. however, the class suddenly lost itself in an overwhelming wave of concentration.

Cf course, this wonderful discovery warranted the east- ing of sly, sugared glances at certain- flCl'.t'01I,S. Carrington, for one, glanced furtively at the vamp, who suffered her eyes to rove from the book and meet his in a soulful glance, while she romantically pressed an absurdly small hand to her heart and heaved an ecstatic sigh. Carrington gulped, but was powerless to do mo1'e. For what more can a mere man do when a delightful, charming bit of humanity of the fairer sex chooses to make him her slave. Carrington, by means of that marvelous intuition handed down to him from Adam, realized then that he was doomed. I They saw a great deal of each other that term besides the hours spent in class, and, as graduation time approached, they grew to he very good friends, oh, very good friends. It was a few days before graduation day, when Manctte suddenly recalled her promise alld realized that she would soon have to e11d their friendship by forcing Carrington to propose. Of course, there was the alternative of going back on her word, but she was much too game for that. So tl1e1'e was nothing left to do but dispose of her unpleasant task as soo11 as possible, a procedure which hurt her far more than she cared to admit, even to herself. As luck would have it, she met the Freslnuan next day and hailed her, say- i11g, Why hello, Kiddie! You're just tl1e person I've been looking for. If you 're still interested in hearing Carring- ton propose, just stand outside l1is room Sixty-vigil! AND BLACK after school today, and your curiosity will be satisfied. Manette smiled and walked on. But in spite of her smile she felt strangely im- patient and, to make matters worse, the periods seemed inte1'minablc. NVould they Heier end? Much to her relief, they finally did e11d, and as she t.urned in the direc- tion of Carrington's room she became aware of myriads of tiny thrills which shot through her body like so many in- vigorating eleetric sparks. When she got there, she started an ani- mated conversation, cleverly endeavoring to get Carrington to talk about himself and things that interested l1in1. She sue- eeeded, and he poured forth such a stream of golden eloquence as to shock even the vamp 's trained senses. Then suddenly he stopped and, picking up a book of poems, he began to read a particularly touching love sonnet. NVhen he had finished, Manettels cheeks were carmine, her eyes shone, and l1er sweet, tender lips were parted, like unto a bloom- ing bud. Vlfithal, she looked so appealing and so delightfully feminine that Carring- ton could control himself no longer. After he had become coherent, he asked her the question, old as time, Darling, will you marry me? The vamp dimpled and murnulred teas- ingly, V Oh dear, this is so sudden l And just for that he kissed her. Meanwhile the Freshman, who had been watching this little drama with the great- est interest, walked away murmuring, mllhat just goes to prove that a vamp- proof vamp does not exist. ip 1' ' ' I . - .

The posters were made under the direction of Miss Taylor, by her Art pupils, and the success of the Rod and Black ticket campaign was in large part due to this advertising. Although the display was 11ot quite as large as usual, it was in every way as artistic, many favorable comments being heard throughout the school concerning its excellence. A committee, composed of Miss Lod- .......................I31z.vi1lc.vs Manager ......A.vsistr111z' BIlSlIlC.YX dfllbllllglv' wick, Miss Taylor, and Miss Rowe, awarded the prizeswhich the Staff had previously offered. Jimmie Thompson received the first honor-a leather-bound copy of this Red and Hlurk. A plain paper-bound copy was awarded Mary Barnes as the second prize. Ernest xV0!'l'lllI1g't011 and Herman Beu- der received honorable mention. . The remaining posters, although not selected as prize-winners, were, neverthe- less, all very attractive.

CENTRAL HIGH NEWS HE beginning of this term marked a new News policy . Campaigning for the stimulation of interest among the student body at large, Mr. Pratt' organ- ized his staff along 11ew lines. NVhere for- merly one person had covered three de- partments of news, three persons were now appointed for one reportcrship. The broadening effect this has had upon the entire newspaper may easily be imag- ined, and there is small doubt but that the increased popularity and success of the Central High Nezes is due in large part to this change. ln addition, this has meant that a. greater number of pupils have been given an opportunity to gain experience in writ- ing and editing. NVith the increase in the student activities, too, there wider call for the Neaxv, and the natural mnnber of has been a result has been a more t1'uly representa- tive publication. There has been, as well, an appreciable change in the humor, a disappearance of Ex, after jokes, and a livelier t011G to the editorials. Judging from its past record, and the rapid strides it has recently made, under the guidance of Mr. Pratt, the future of the Cl'IIfl'Ul High News is bright. SELF-DENIAL DAY EBRUARY 10th, 1921, was set aside by the Mayor as Self Denial Day. In order to till St. Louis' quota of 2i4500,000, the public were asked to deny themselves something that day and to give the money saved to the starving children of Europe. Though this self-denial was doubtless Eighly Aung' BLACK unnecessary in a, great many cases, it was good practice, as it brought the minds of well-fed America into closer contact with the deplorable condition of Europe. Among all the city 's schools, which con- tributed a total of i1i7,l85.S3, Central ranked first, with 39452.52 to her credit. This was an average of 856.46 contributed by each advisory group. THE SYMPHONY CONCERT a lapse of two years, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, under the lcadersllip of Mr. Frederick Fischer, presented a program of light music at Central. A crowd of approximately 600 Central teachers and students and 200 out- siders, mostly grammar school pupils, as- sembled in the auditorium. The ushering of the concert was well managed by the Nifty Fifty and Co-C-Hi, under the direction of their sponsor, Miss ltlatthews, and Mr. Dee. The late conductor, Mr. Max Zach, originated the custom of giving pop FTER concerts in the high schools of the city, and, from all indications, this practice is to he continued. Besides acting, in a way, as advertising for the regular con- certs, they also tend toward a develop- ment of musical taste among the rising generation. There can certainly be no worthier mo- tive than this, for an education is incom- plete without the cultivation of the ar- tistic scnsc, He that 'Lhcars no music cannot possibly live life to its fullest ex- tent. So, for our own culture, as well as en- joyment, we say that we look forward to the next visit of the Symphony with pleas- ant expectation. -1 ,D x 710 ,J -X- ?

'-75263,-,- ' -q! l THE RED AND BLACK BASKETBALL By Jack A. Lynn UR basketball team deserves much credit for tl1e splendid spirit they maintained throughout the season. Although they were 11ot returned victors in their games, the fighting spirit, in which they played up through their last game, proves that our boys put forth their best efforts for Central. Tl1e basketball situation ill the begin- ning of thc season was 1l0t very encourag- ing for Central. John Mathews, last year 's center, suffered an i11jury in football that forced him to withdraw from basketball. His services were sadly missed. Then Tony Anzalone was missed at forward. Tony made a splendid showing the pre- vious year. These va.cancies had to be filled, and Mr. Reppy was forced to rc- organize the whole team. Thus Central entered the interscholastic basketball race rather handicapped. In the first game Cleveland wo11. Neither team played the basketball that they were capable of playing. The lack of team- work was especially noticeable, though we should not be too critical in judging this first game, as we must take into consid- eration that the team was composed of new men. p McKlNliEY VS. CENTRAL A more satisfactory account may be given of this second game. The week preceding had been devoted by Mr. Reppy to correcting the weaknesses so notice- able i11 the first game. The improvement was readily seen, and at the close of the first half, the Central team was tied with McKinley, 12-12. The t.wo teams continued to divide hon- ors ill the second half until two minutes remained before the close of the game. Then suddenly the McKinley players be- came expert in shooting baskets. Thrice they came twirling at Central's basket and thrice the ball NV8l1t in. The result was we lost by six points when just two minutes before we were leading by 0110 point. After another week of thorough train- ing, Mr. 'R-eppy's charges came forth to meet the Ycatman warriors. The battle that took place was full of thrills and excellent execution of plays. The objec- tive was fourth place. Central did not go i11to fourth place as a result of the game. Ycatman won by one basket. Yeat- man 21.-Central 18. So near-yet S0 far. The following Friday night our team played Soldan. The game was 11ot a walk-awayf' as the score would indicateg we sometimes judge too ha.rsl1ly by re- sults. On the contrary, Cent-ral played exceptionally good basketball. Our team- work was perfect and the plays were exe- cuted smoothly, but it seemed as though no one could score. Time and again the ball would take a peculiar twist and jump right out of the basket, while on the other hand Soldan played exceptionally well. Although our teamwork was superior, they excelled us in shooting baskets. Sol- dan 31-Central 14.

RED '. conclusion that there must be some truth in that old superstition about unlucky Friday. Seven days later our boys again entered the fray. This game was a direct. repetition of last week, they played well, but were again weak in scoring. Roy Newsom set a wonderful example for his team mates by scoring twenty points-an individual record for this term. Here Central temporarily lost the serv- ices of center Gockcl, an important lever in the Central machine. Cleveland 26- Central 26. Central was due to win and McKinley was to be the first victim. .lt appeared as if they would win, but o11e minute be- fore the whistle blew, McKinley threw three baskets in succession. Roy Newsom again made himself conspicuous by his excellent playing, but Central seemed doomed for fifth place. McKinley 28- Central 22. Another week sped by, and we again declared war on Yeatman. The boys were eager tor a victory, and there seemed to be no hope for a rival. lt was merely a matter of seconds before the game would end in a victory for us-when from the eenter of the floor the ball twirled high into the air, but it was bound in the wrong direction, and as the referee blew the whistle the ball dropped in the basket, winning for Yeatman by one point. Such AND .' BLA'CK are the uncertainties of basketball. Roy Newsom endeavored to repeat his previous record, but lacked seven points. The following Friday we played our final game of the season, but as usual according to fate Central was defeated. In plain terms, we won fifth place cham- pionship. Newsom succeeded Kutterer as Captain. Newsom and Goekel divided the honors, each scoring 8 points. As to the game, the result was the same as usual. Central was leading by one point. NVith two minutes to play, at Sol- dan forward made a spectacular shot, scoring for Soldan. VVith, Soldan leading by one point, Gockel tried a long shot, everyone held their breath, a tense sec- ond followed while the ball rolled around the rim of the basket, and, as the whistle blew, it took a peculiar jump OUT and again Central lost by one point.

Practice was started in the latter part of February along the third floor corridors. Coach Marriott was forced to delegate the ae- tual coaching to Captain Mathews, be- cause certain afternoon classes required all of his time. These classes are to con- tinue throughout the semester and for this reason Mr. Marriott was forced to resign his position as coach. The Seniors trained hard and earnestly for the i11door meet, the Juniors, because there are no events for them- in this meet, were forced to stand aside and watch with jealous eyes the Seniors prepare for their races. Despite the handicap of an inadequate place to practice, Central, as usual, developed men who featured in their events, We quote from the Nmrx of April 1: Another cup will be added to the collection now in our trophy case. This cup was won by Albert Kissling, Central 's long distance runner. Kissling was the star attraction at the carnival held at the Coliseum on March 19, a.nd he deserves running the prettiest race At the finish of the race, in Central's section rose and, led by their cheer leaders, gave lif- teen lusty cheers for Kissling. John Harvey also starred for Central, although not in training John finished second in the fifty yard dash after running two heats previous to the final dash. Our this honor for of the evening. every member relay team captured fourth, this was due chictiy to lack of experience. Central scored nine points in all, thus tying with Soldan for second place. The carnival was successful, and Coach Mar- riott is in high spirits over the prospects for the spring meet. The track team feels acutely the loss of its coach, and is looking with keen in- terest to the appointment of his successor, as no team, regardless of its talent, can be successful without an able coach, such as Central has always had in the past. The team, under Captain Mathews' directions, is training for coming inter-school meets and is preparing itself for the big inter- scholastic meet. 'With such stars as Brown and F. Mathews in the quarter mile, Jolley in the 220 yard dash, Capt. John Mathews in the half mile, Harvey and Kornblatt in the sprints, and Kissling in the mile, we feel confident of capturing more trophies for Central. An innovation has been introduced in the form of a Midget team, so that the track team now consists of three branches: Seniors, Juniors, and Midgets. Only the smaller boys under a specified weight and height are eligible for this squad. This makes the track one of the most versatile of sports by virture of the fact that any boy can enter, regardless of size. It is hoped that the smaller boys will rally to their team and make it a real success. The events are so arranged that they do not overtax the boys physically.

BLACK BASEBALL eight innings, but in the ninth Cleveland ITH Erwin Fischer as our captain and the return of Henry Olsen from the 1920 baseball team and Vtlilliams, Fanning, Fox, and Kutterer from the 1920 reserves our chances for a baseball championship looked very bright.. By the first game of the season the team had rounded itself into good shape. Cen- tral boasted of one of the strongest in- fields in the league, with Kutterer at first, Riehl at second, Williams at short, and Fanning at third. The outfield was also very strong with Goekel in left. field, Olsen in center field, and Browning in right field. The batteries for the games were Fischer pitching, and Fox catching. The coaching, as usual, was well taken care of by Mr. XValker. Central's first game was played against Yeatman. Central scored five runs in the first two innings, and it appeared' as if our boys were going to have quite an easy task in winning. Yeatman managed to get a few b1'eaks in the third inning and tied the score. They continued the assault. in the fourth and this rally netted them three more runs. This put Central three runs behind, but our boys played hard for the remaining innings and won by a score of 11 to 9. Fischer and Fan- ning starred. Ventral received their first setback when they met Cleveland. Although Fischer pitched a wonderful game, it was marred by errors by both teams. Central held a one run lead through the first scored a run and tied the score. In the ninth inning, Browning of Central singled and stole second. The next batter up struck out. Margulis was sent in to run for Browning, with Fanning at bat. Fan- ning hit a clean double to center field, scoring Margulis and winning the game 4 to 3.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS By Carrie Stone VERYTHING at Clentral has been progressing by leaps and bounds and foremost in the line is the Girls' Athletics. Never before have such large numbers turned out for the various sports and activities. The hikes this term were planned with great care and the most beautiful country around St. Louis chosen through which the girls could hike. The girls that have gone on these hikes have kept their eyes open and have seen the wonderful p r o g r e s s of spring in the outskirts of St. Louis. The fall swimming meet showed that swimming, too, is becoming more popular every year. Many girls are taking advantage of the opportunities offer- ed them in the use of the Y. VV. C. A. swimming- pool, and from the large numbers that are going out to practice the coming meet i11 May surely must be a success. Much credit must also be given to t.he winter sports of hockey and skating. Here, too, the girls have an advantage in the use of the Winter Garden and the Hockey Field at Forest Park. Many faithful fol- lowers of each sport turned out this win- ter for practice and fun. The lack of cold weather kept the girls from enjoying outdoor skating. Spring weather has brought back tennis again and many girls are already out for practice. This activity is becoming one of the leading sports of Central High girls. Last fall, Louise Roberts, after a hard- fought battle with Jane Hixon, won the school honors in the singles. Louise and Minna Sclnniedes were the winners of the doubles. From the interest now shown many good games are expected in the fall. To this already long list of sports has been added golf and canoeing. The golf starts in April and many enthusiastic girls eagerly wait to begin practice. Canoeing will bc taught in May, but anx- ious mothers need not worry, for the girls must pass a strict swimming test before going out for this sport. One of the important things in relation to the the Girls' Athletics is awarding of chevrons and the silver loving Josephine Hose and Larcw Killian were winners of cup. chevrons last term. It is 11ot definitely known to whom ehevrons will be awarded this term, but the silver loving cup will be presented to Louise Roberts. A total of a thousand points is required for the chevron and one thousand two hundred points for the cup. Receiving the past season 's results, we feel that we can be well satisfied with the work of the Girls' Athletic Association, and can predict a continuance of its suc- cess.

Two preliminary debates were held, one with a team from our own Society, and the other with a team from the Girls, Society. These debates gave excellent practice and showed many opportunities for improvenient. Much credit is due Mr. Hotfinan and Mr. Killam for their faithful work in coaching the team, which consisted of Jack Goldstein, David Schorr, Robert Treinian, and lsadore Cooper, al- ternate. 0 I The second event was the Mock 1 Trial, wherein Dorothy Angel liovely sued Percy Darling for the 611011110113 sum of SS100,000 for breach of promise. flt was presented before a large audience in the auditoriuni.

RED AND BLACK DULCIMER CLUB ITH lots of enthusiasm and an eager desire to sing, the members of the Dulcimer Club gathered for their first meeting. The election of officers was the most important part. of the program. As Clara Godnlan had the experience, we decided to put the 1'espo11sihility of the club 011 her shoulders again. The Presi- dent. has to work hard, you know. For her assistant we chose Anna Haag, our former Librarian. lVc concluded, that if she could keep the music in' its proper place, she certainly could hold the girls to their duty, if it was necessary. Marion Merrill was re-elected Secretary, and Mary lVandell was c-lected as Treasurer, because of her persuasive smile. She man- aged to get our money, all right. Myrtle Grossenbacher became Librarian and Mar- garet Shewmaker continued as News rep- resentative. The Dulcimer Club sang three selec- tions, Sandman Am a Softly t'omin', Thy Beaming Eyes, and Dance of the lJI'tllQ'0l1lfllGS,i7 at Vandervoortls Music Hall. We were invited to sing at a meeting of the Roe School Mothers' Club held at the Roc School. A mistake was made re- garding the date and we rode all the way there to find the portable empty. The following Friday, however, we made our appearance illltl sang four selections. Re- freshments were served and, as we like to eat, this part of the meeting was thor- oughly enjoyed. At both the mass meetings held at. the school to stimulate interest in the school tax election, the Dulcimer made an ap- pearance. Ten of the girls were chosen to repre- sent Central in the City Club Concert, an annual atfair. Vlfith Mr. Davis as our patient and ca- pable sponsor, we have been able to ac- complish a great deal in the past year. Vile worked hard to make our graduation chorus a success. The study of Elg'ar's USIIOXVH was a pleasure to all. VVill- o'-the-lVisp, To a VVild Rose and several others held much of our attention this term. Five of our members will be lost through graduation. They are: Ruth Ar- nold, Anna Haag, Grace Moore, Verna Oertle and llflargaret Shcwmaker. M. S. THE BAND USIC, in some form or other, has existed at all times all over the world, in civilized and uncivilized coun- tries, and has always ll00l1 and always will be a necessary form of expression to mankind. 'There are many ditfcrent forms of music, such as thc march, opera, lullaby, overture, dance, etc., which appeal to the senses, and affect human nature so much as to change one's mood to correspond to the form of music being played. The commonest form of music is the dance, a11d the main purposes i11 the or- ganization of a musical society such as an orchestra or band are to create a love for a higher class of music, for the blend of the different Il11Sl'-l'll1110lltS, illld, in an organization such as the Central High Band, to give to its members the first stages of a training that will lead to the higher forms of musical attainment. VVith such intentions in view, together with that Ninety-nine THE ORCHESTRA f - 1 4 2' N , - Q .Y-. - 51'ii5?5Q3: - 0.23 fit' 1 ., 1-'r5f?7 . 'fn f 'Q' I' i -'-EH. -1 'Ql l ns THED.-. RED -. AND'.-. BLACK of furnishing the school with music for field meets, baseball games, and to par- ticipate in other school activities, the Cen- tral High Band was organized. ,lt was with great difficulty' that the or- ganization took place, but with the pur- chase by the school of some of the larger instruments, ri:-' a tuba, a baritone, two meliphones, and drnmsg the hearty eo-op- eration and enthusiasm of the members of the bandg and, above all, the drilling done by Mr. Kelbaugh, our sponsor and direc- tor, all obstacles were removed. Now the band is progressing wonderfully well. At a meeting held April 28, the follow- ing oificers were elected for the term: Hymen Minkin ............ President Harvey Swanson ...... Vice-President Tom Pegram. .Secretary K: 'l'rcasurer Albert Fleishman ......... Librarian Any one playing a band instrument and desiring to join the band is asked to see Mr. Kelbaugh. H. M. ORCHESTRA EOPLE throughout the world love music, and I venture to say, that the world would be a sorry place without it. lt plays an important part in our lives, conducive to harmony and sympathetic ululerstanding. The Central High School Orchestra was organized in 1918, and was successor to the Violin Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Gardner. The Orchestra as a whole represents the students who have a taste for a higher class of music. The Or- chestra has been improving in its eff ficieney and bids fair to be one of the best high school orchestras in the city, not alone i11 numbers but in quality and profieieney. Under the leadership of Mr. Arthur Davis, a musician and a composer ot note, the nature of the music has also been improved. In January the following officers were elected for the term: llresident ........ . .... Alma Heck Vice-President. . . .... XValter Cohen Secretary ..... . . .David Siegelman Librarian ........... XValter Murray Treasurer and Sponsor. .Mr. A. Davis .Yefux Correspoiulent. . lsadore Cooper New members have come into the Or- ehestra, many of them talented, and the work of the term has been very success- ful. At. the Christmas entertainment, also at the graduation exercises held for the two-year commercial pupils, and the Boys' and Girls' Literary Societies, the Orches- tra. rendered The Frangesa March, which was well received. At the gracluation of the Class of Jan- uary, '21, it rendered the famous Home Circle Overture',, and at. the entertain- ment given for the school tax increase, the music was of the highest class and greatly enjoyed by all who heard it. X provision was passed by the school board last year, giving credit toward graduation for musical training, illlfl this should be an inducement to many students who wish to obtain credit for music. Rehearsals are held every Friday after- noon in the auditorium and a large audi- ence attends. In spite of the fact that only one member is lost by graduation, the orchestra is in need of more members. All students who can play any orchestral instrument with any degree of proficiency are' eligible to membership in one of Cen- tral's best musical organizations. Sign up with Mr. Davis now for the coming term and get in line for future work. I. C. One I1lllldl't'liOlll? NEW SENIORS ll -Alf! ,fl':-, , ,- 1 -J W i 'l Tjy'tL -. ..f f- M . . -., f-are-fee., THE RED ANn'.-. BLACK NEW SENIORS HERE comes a time i11 the life of every Central student, after three long and weary years of botlzzrrsome reci- tation and study, whe11 he is gently but firmly reminded of t.l1e Hwhere and why of all three years spe11t at Central. This gentle reminder is usually given at a meeting called for that purpose and pre- sided Over by Mr. Douglass. The students are gI'Cl'Z'6Ij' and .veriomly impressed with the 1'P.Yf7l7lI,VilJil'if.X' which rests with them as prospective graduates of an institution of learning, and they tile forth, solemnly resolved to act accordingly, and set a noteworthy arample for the younger and zm.90j1I1i.vtimtf'd ' 'juniors ' i, sophs ' ', nu- jays , etc., to follow. Then, of course, after these young hope- fuls emerge as New Seniors, there are those who shrug their shoulders, arch their eyebrows, look bored, and say, Yes, just one more class to be bothered with, same old thing, and so on. But- XVe entirely disagree with them. Un- doubtedly there is a. new New Senior Class every term, but a elass such as Central has this term only comes about once every ten or Hfteen years. If you doubt this, just take a look at the class and judge for yourself. The first thing that makes this class so conspicuous is its principle, which is as follows: To the average student school life can be either a perpetual bore or, on the other hand, a continual source of pleasure. lf, he merely performs the mechanical fune- tions of arriving before the second bell, filing between periods, and leaving regu- larly at three otclock, the routine soon becomes monotonous, but if he takes an interest in the school, participates in its activities, and really gets into the true spirit of the school, then life ceases to he a bore and is once more worth living. This is the spirit of the Class of Janu- ary, 1922 , not to interfere in the least with the duties of every student, but a.t the same time to furnish that recreation and variety that puts the spice into life. Of course, bear in mind, gentle reader, that we are handicapped by a very late start, but even at the time of writing much t'pcp has been manifested, and plans are already afoot for seine grand times. Only one event so far has marked the career of the New Seniors, that beingythe April Fool party given by the Seniors. VVe must admit, the Seniors are certainly very clever entertainers, and if the pleas- ure to be derived from future occasions can be at all forecast by the pleasure' we had on that occasion, the two' classes arf- going to get along swimmingly. Another big reason why our class is an exeeptionalone. lies in'its leaders. Do you realize that for years and years latent talent for' sponsorship of the very best kind has been lying around absolutely unused, in the person of Mr. Bock? Or course, it evolved upon this most rur- traordilmrv New Senior class to discover him, and we did just that, - NVe elected as officers for the term: - President ...........

RED AAND BLACK. RADIO CLUB ing that our own principal l1ad been a LD Man Central can cut one more not.ch in the stock of student activi- ties, because the Radio Club has just. com- pleted one more successful season. We came through this season with a greater number of members than might have been expected, since some of our brightest dreams failed to materialize. But, per- haps you may care to have us tell you of what we eternally dream. VVe see a stranger walking over Grand Avenue, and, of course, when he passes Pentral he is interested in the buildingg and, as we watch his face, we see him glance far up, and suddenly turn and ask a passerby when Central was fortu- nate enough to become the proud pos- sessor of such an excellent aerial as the one over the school. Is the rest of the apparatus of the same grade as the aerial? Viiould they allow a visitor to see the apparatus? he asks. No, do not become excited! This sounds realistic, but it has not happened as yet. Vile hope to have an outfit worthy of the school before long. It is up to us to obtain the money and then several docu- ments, before we can have an outfit work- ing. -XVe hope to accomplish this next term. In the meantime the club has been work- ing on the theory and general practice of radio-telegraphy and telephony. The most interesting lecture of the last term was Mr. Douglass' description of his radio work. Vife did not know until that meet- radio enthusiast before most ot us were born. He told of his experiments with apparatus which we now only read ot' in books. He told us that the principles of radio apparatus have not changed, al- though the design has changed radically. Mr. Crippen, our sponsor, gives a les- son every week on the principles oi? elec- tricity as applied to radio work. Eaeh lesson has been very interesting and in- structive, and the members have bene- fited greatly from them. Mr. Peterson, of the St. Louis Radio Association, has spoken at a number of our meetings. llis talks have been very timely and perti- nent, because most of us amateurs have had questions to which we could not get answers through our usual sources of in- formation. The club wishes to thank Mr. Peterson, and to extend to him a standing: invitation to attend our meetings. For membership in this club it is only necessary that the candidate be interested in radio-telegraphy or telephony. The new member soon cultivates a desire for radio apparatus, when he listens in on some of our apparatus, or succeeds in keeping up with our code instructor, Earl Meyer. The officers for the past term were: President, ........... iValter Ti. Dean Vice-President... .... Earl Meyer Secretary .... . . . .George Green Treasurer ............

News Reporter Frieda Shachtman, Program Coinniittee Dorothy Ferman, Membership C0ll1lllll,T00 Miss Ewing, Miss Kampman, Sponsors Much credit is due the membership coni- mittee for its efforts in securing for the club the best qualified pupils who could be obta.ined. Credit is also due the pro- gram committee for the varied and inter- esting progra111s it has selected, consist- ing of appropriate business talks which had been very helpful and interesting to all the members. On April 6 Miss Ruth Nelsch, a grad- uate of the Four Year Uonnnereial Course in the class of June, 1920, visited the club and spoke about her experiences in the business world. She told the members AND BLACK. 'rnot to be afraid to do too much work, and as they work to think of the interests of their employer and not of themselves. She said that one must do his work rapidly: but before this can be ac- complished, one must be able to do the work slowly and correctly. Miss Nelseh laid stress upon the benefits to be derived from belonging to one society, at least, because it teaches one to work with people, and this is what is expected of commercial students when they enter the business world. The club is to have the advantage of the use of good business books and maga- zines. These will be cared for by the librarian, Velva Boggs. One of our most. interesting meetings was held on March 23 when Mr. Douglass spoke about the possibilities of the Com- mercial Club. He said that the to gain success was to be all business , to keep one's ears open, both of them, and one 's mouth shut. Mr. Douglass laid best way stress on the things which the club can accomplish. It can study the principles of business, the different lines of busi- ness, and the relationship of employer and employee. 'l'he club can promote good fellowship and a helpful acquaintance among the members, and it can eo-operate to promote high ideals in the school. Although the club is still in its infancy, many things have been accomplished and with the able help of the sponsors, the members are looking forward to making this club one of the most helpful and pro- gressive organizations in the school.

In addi- tion to the usual number of house and theater parties, picnics, and hikes, and furnishing the music for dance engage- ments, church suppers, outside and school entertainments, the club has the honor of putting over some really big undertakings with credit to themselves and honor to old Central. Some of these will be men- tioned in detail. The first really big affair of the year was our Holiday Dance given Christmas week at the St. Louis Architectural Club. The select crowd of girls and boys was so congenial and full of the holiday spirit that the affair recembled a real house party. 'The punch was excellent, the ehaperones jolly, and the professional or- chestra caught the spirit of the evening and out-did itself in playing. It was the great regret of everyone present that 12:30 marked the close of so joyous an evening. The next, and perhaps the most unusual event of the year, was our trip down to McKinley High School one Monday morn- ing to be their guests and to furnish the entertainment. for t.wo big auditorium ses- sions. Mr. Miller, the principal, had heard. us play at one of the preliminary tax campaign meetings and was so pleased with our performance that he persuaded Mr. Douglass to consent 'to letting us go to his school in the hope of arousing a desi1'c there among his boys to have a Mandolin Club, too. The students, fac- ulty, and Mr. Miller gave us such a hearty welcome and such generous applause that we were too happy to mind the fact that we missed two periods of work at our own school. Another very pleasant evening was spent at the All Fools' Masquerade Dance at Moolah Temple given by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Vile had played at one of their regular meetings downtown by request, and the members were so well pleased with our accomplishment along the line of entertainment that they invited us and our individual fan , friends to attend a11d take part in this big affair. Both the Mandolin and Man- lin-Choral Clubs were in special costumes that drew forth admiration and commend- ation from many there. At the big rally entertainment at Cen- tral the evening before the Tax Election, our clubs furnished a large and enthusi- astically reeeived part of the program. We decided to enter the Tax Election parade the next day, and accordingly at 11:30 A. M., several large touring ears, decorated with school tax posters and col- ored streamers were drawn up in front. of the school. Into them we crowded the boys and girls ofthe Mandolin and Man- dolin-Choral Clubs. The girls wore red and black sweaters, while the boys wore the red and black clown costumes which had made such a big hit. the previous Sat- urday at the Jay-See Masquerade Dance mentioned above. Mr. Douglass and Mr. Vileir were on hand to start us off from Central about twelve o'clock. Miss Randall, in her car, piloted us over Grand Avenue to Olive Street, and then XVest, North, East and all over the Cen- tral residential districts to the polling One Hundred Nine UKULELE CLUB MANDOLIN .-C X' -jj, it Q' 3,-p!'Ti71 'LQg:Q5j,f:g,Sg5f fy. f - 1--f Jvzifg f'- .

Vile learned later that our visits had resulted in a greatly in- creased vote every place we stopped. After breaking several strings and losing many plectrums, the rain finally put an e11d to our parade. Another big outside affair in which the Club took part was the Monster Carnival at the Armory given by the Epsilon Eta Clubs of America. It was a big civic af- fair on the order of the Atlantic City Boardwalk of last year, at which we also performed. The management was so well pleased with our entertainment that tl1ey gave us an all-day party at the club house of the local chapter at Castlewood-on-the Meramec River the Saturday following. Dr. Forest H. Staley, the founder and Chancellor of the St. Louis Chapter, was our host. Miss Randall ehaperoned the party. The organization is non-sectarian, non-secret, not a fraternity, but an organ- ization of boys and men for high 1no1'al, athletic, and educational association. Tl1e1'e is very little need to mention our Spring Concert-our most ambitious undertaking of the year. But for those who failed to attend, a brief outline may prove interesting. The first part was de- voted to classical compositions by the three clubs, the second part to the HWat-Ta-Ra-Kat.H Orchestra, which is none other than the former Underta.kers' Jazz Bandf' The greater portion of this part was devoted to the playing of popu- lar dance music, although we gave a few numbers of a 1l101'C classical nature. The third part was a very beautiful Hun- garian Festival, given by the Girls' Ath- letic Association under the direction of Miss Sullivan. The fourth part was a. most unusual and original Minstrel Show. The setting was an up-to-date colored bar- ber shop, equipped with a lady barber, lady manicurist, a11d all modern devices. The most unexpected things kept hap- pening there to eonvulse the audience with laughter. For this concert we felt the need of some vocal numbers, so the Mandolin Choral Club was organized after we found that the Glee Club was unable to take part. They represent twelve of the best girl and boy singers in the student body of the school. Another very popular club which was organized for the concert is the Mandolin Ukulele Club. The number of girls was regulated by the number of boys in the Mandolin Club, so that the effect of alter- nation could be obtained. There was a great deal of argument concerning the seating arrangement, but most of us agreed that since all the girls were so pretty, it made little dilferenee which 0110 sat next to us. The proceeds of the con- cert went toward the purchase of musical instruments which are to remain the per- manent property of the Central Mandolin Club. J. N. E.

RED THE JUNIOR ENGINEERS LTHOUGH Central High is the old- est. high school in the St. Louis Cir- cuit, it has long been without H11 organiza- tio11 that deals solely with engineering projects and principles. But this is the dawn of a 11ew era i11 the life of the sehool, for thirty boys have gathered un- der the sponsorship of Mr, Noel and formed an organization called the 'Klu- nior Ellg'lllQG1'SH. Tl1e pu1'pose of this club is to spread a fundamental knowl- edge of general engineering among the pupils of the school. There were tive or six boys, full of pep, taking six lllilllllill. training under the supervision of Mr. Noel. Each day before the class work began the instruc- tor would call the group together and speak to them o11 the process of 111anu- faeture of C01ll1l10ll everyday articles. lie would also address the group o11 the trips he has taken through diiiferent industrial plants. These talks naturally fasciliated the boys illld they were always eager to hear n1o1'e about these processes. One day, one of the boys suggested thal we form an organization in order to learn more about these things. This suggestion was received with enthusiasm and these six boys got together and talked the mat- ter over. They decided that they would ask Mr. Noel to be sponsor of the new organization. To tl1is he readily gave his consent. These boys drew up a petition and obtained signers who were to be pros- pective members of the club. This peti- tion was then se11t to Mr. Douglass, ask- ing his perinission to form E111 engineering organization. Mr. Douglass was very en- AND BLACK thusiastie over the idea and gladly gave his assent. A notice was sent around the school notifying the pupils of the first meeting ot the school 's newest organization. Sev- enty-three boys responded to the call. A temporary Cll2ll1'lllill1 and secretary were elected and a committee was appointed to draw up a constitution. The club was honored by llilVlllg Mr. Douglass deliver the initial address. llc spoke on general engineering and brought to light the good Ellld bad points of the profession. He IIIHLTC it very clear to those present not to think of entering the engin- eering field unless they were good in inatheinatics. This address marked the formal opening of tl1e Junior Engineers. Since the opening meeting, they have elected a staff of officers to se1've through- out this semester. These officers are live wires, They a1'e full of pep illlti are putting- all their enthusiasin behind the Junior Engineers, to make this organiza- tion the foremost ill the school. The club makes frequent trips to the ditferent factories and industrial institu- tions of St. Louis and vicinity. O11 these trips they get an insight into the prac- tical side of engineering. They also have some' of the foremost engineers of the country come and address the group. We feel confident in saying that tl1is organization is a milestone of progress in the school life.

AND BLAcx THE NIFTY FIFTY HE Nifty Fifty concluded the term of 1920-1921 with the Harvard Glee Ulub Concert of December 29, at which we again distinguished ourselves as com- petent and reliable helpers. The visiting club complimented the school on our very efficient management. Vllith a past of four terms .of notable achievement, we set ourselves for the be- ginning of what we resolved to make the . 1 - most successful year ot the club s his- tory. And you may judge for yourscll' if we have not fulfilled our resolution. At the Symphony Concert given on February 16 in our auditorium, the Nitty Fifty, headed by Miss Matthews, our Sponsor, and Mr. Dee, together with the girls of the Co-C-Hi, oitieiated by usher- ing and distributing programs. At the school tax mass meeting held in the auditorium February 225, we again aided in our regulation white uniforms. Besides serving as doorkeepers and ushs ers, in several instances we acted as mes- sengers and pages. This was followed not long after by a mammoth gratliering for the same pur- pose-the school tax. This meeting, which took place on April 7th, as it directly preceded the election itself, was most important. Everyone avowed that we did Central credit, not only giving our praetieal help, but adding to the dignity of the assemblage as well. On May 6th we were officially present at one of the most successful performances in Central's history-the Mandolin Clubs' concert, where we aided in making it an all-Central affair. 1.Ve rendered valuable service in a great many other cases, the Declamatory con- test, for instance, and feel that we can look back on this term just passed with confident satisfaction. The following officers held the reins of state: Earl Meyer. . . ...... President Jack Lynn. . . . . .Vice-President Floyd Clear. .... ..... '1 'reasurer David Hailman. . . ...... Secretary Herman Salinger ..... Nezcnv Reporter The untiring efforts' of Miss Matthews are in great part responsible for the sue- eess of the Nifty Fifty. H. S. THE CO-C-HI HE Co-operative Central High Girls have just completed their busiest and most successful term since their or- ganization. The Co-C-Hi is the sister club of the Nifty Fifty, both usually working' togretherg the boys acting as ushers and the girls as hostesses ill their costumes ot' white decorated with Red and Black eol- ors. Besides this work, they sell tickets for all the school activities and in every way help carry on the work of the school. In the spring of 1918 and 1919, when the girls gave the famous Greek Games at the Municipal Theater, fifty boys from school were ushers. They had on their white uniforms' and looked so attractive and were of such great help that it was decided to organize them into a perma- nent society for just such occasions. This idea worked so splendidly that Miss Matthews thought it would be still One Hundred' Fiflvena CO-C-HI - ' v - I I v t - 4. 4 - ,- .-'wa - I e' Neff-5175 .- -- .-S 1'.f -'Sz-.T-r f14.-.

The club is composed ot' girls of good standing in their studies, and with a recommendation from their ad- visers. Besides the fifty regular members there are ten more, who hold themselves in readiness in ease of emergency. If still more are needed, there is the long, very long, waiting list of girls who are just waiting for some of the Seniors to leave, so that they can jump into their places. Just to convince you of our useful- ness, here are some of the things we have participated in this term. Our first public appearance was at the concert, VVednesday afternoon, February 16, given by the St. Louis Symphony Or- chestra, under the leadership of Mr. Fred- erick Fischer. Then, on Friday night, February 27. we officiated at the School Tax Mass Meeting. Though Miss Matthews was ill and not able to attend, the boys and girls, under the guidance of Earl Meyer and Mary Hughes, worked splendidly, show- ing what pupils can do when put on their honor. At the Hnal School Tax meeting, on the evening of April Tth, we again did our part, and once more at the Declamatory Contest. But, above all, we were at. one of the most delightful entertainments Central- ever gave-that Spring Concert of May 6. Much of the credit due to the club must AND BLACK be given to our sponsor, Miss Matthews, and to the following officers: Mary Hughes.. ............ President. Clara Godman. . . . . .Vice-President Marion Merrill. . . ..... Treasurer Virginia Myers. . . .... o. .Secretary llilda Abramson ..... .Kiefer Reporter M. S. THE GIRLS' LITERARY SOCIETY HE Society has had a very successful year under most favorable influences. 'l'he officers elected at the close of the preceding term were especially well fitted for their tasks. They were: Rose Savonovsky .......... President. Plarice Hoppe. . . . . .Vice-President Challie Denson. . ..... Secretary Bernice Mueller. . . ...... Treasurer Mamie Block ......... Xeicuv Reporter Our membership has greatly increased, due to the unfailing efforts of our sponsor, Miss Bowen, and of our program com- mittee, to make each meeting as inter- esting and as profitable as possible. At the first meeting of the term the de- cision was made to continue the study of public speaking, using Mr. Stratton 's ex- cellent. book as a text. Extemporaneous speaking has been a part of every pro- gram, and has been found to be most use- ful in developing poise and the ability to think while standing before an audi- ence. ' i VVe will also present a play, ffri-mess Kiku, by M. J. Hutchison, in the audi- torium June 3, which, under the excel- lent coaching Miss Beck, should prove very'-eiitertailiingq. . - Realizing that all work and no play is not a good policy, two social affairs Une llundrvri Sef'e1rfm'l1 GIRLS' LITERARY -i 956, qv, 5, 5 ar '..-- 5 P423-f---H - . gg.,,.f , .. , Tl., , , , f 'L -TSQTLJ'-'iff-1'fi5N' ii-'-.' 1 ,Z - .

The first party was in honor of our exbljresident, Miss Hattie Lewin, to whom a beautiful gold pin was presented in appreciation of her work in making the society so sucessful the term preceding. The other was a. very enjoy- able spread in the lunch 1'oom as a reward to all the girls for t.heir hard work and splendid co-operation. At the coming graduation the Society will lose some of its most valued mem- bers: Rose Savonovsky, Challie Denson, tflarice Hoppe, Louise Mason, Goldie Leibovieh, Lillian Thompson, Frieda Schachtmann, Anna Tisehler, Sadie Yatke- man, Grace Moore, Katherine Lenz, and Thelma Horwitz. These girls found in the Literary Society an opportunity to de- velop their talents-a. training which we confidently trust will prove most useful to them in later life. YVe hope to continue to grow in usefulness to the school as a whole, and to maintain always a high standard in the scholarship and ideals of our members. M. B. PEPPER BOX NCE again the Pepper Box makes an entry on its list of achievementsi This term it was the sale of baseball tickets. The club made such a wonderful record in the sale of baseball tickets last spring, that the Athletic Council voted togive ns an opportunity to do even bet- ter this spring. Thus thirty-six members of the Pepper Box undertook the enormous AND'.'. BLACK L responsibility of selling tickets to 2,300 students. A description of our method of procedure will serve to illustrate the efficient method employed by this or- ganization in handling such propositions. Four reliable captains were chosen, on their merits as good salesmen, by the club. These captains then chose their teams. We now have four teams, each consisting ot a captain and eight men. The next point to be considered is the distribution. Mr, Dee issued the tickets to the captains, who were responsible to him, they in turn issuing them to their teams. Each member was assigned to two advisory groups but the sale was not confined to advisory groups, the salesmen being given permission to sell in the, cor- ridors, and u1'ged to make a pilgrimage to grammar schools and sell to future Centralites. The competition between the teams was very keen and the reward was .vc1ti.vfari'ion, surely a. goal worth striving for. Our next undertaking will be next. tall wl1e11 we will again lend our services to Central, and co-operate with other or- ganizations in the sale of football tickets.
