'Mary looked thoughtfully at her sister's tall lissonx form and then murmured mu- singly, Jerry, yours is an idea which im- proves on acquaintance. Let us tell mother about it and perhaps we can do our transforming this evening. ' ' So with a great deal of giggling and talking in unison, the two girls imparted the joyful news to mother, who welcomed it as a godsend, for she, too, had been many times frustrated in the nightly social gath- ering at tl1e keyhole. That evening, however, after the family had secreted themselves behind a Japanese screen in the parlor, and after Percival had commenced his stammering proposal with his usual success, the doorbell rang insistently, and a moment later the maid ushered a young man Cnone other than our miraculously transformed Jerryb into the parlor. Mary sprang up eagerly and, holding out her hand ffor Percival had hastily re- linquished ith, murmured coquettishly, Good evening, dearest John, I am so glad to see you. Then turning to the aston- ished Percival, who was gazing at her va- cantly, she said, Percival, this is John Garcia, a very good friend of mine. QThis last with an extremely sugared glance at the t'friend in questionl. Well, I'll be hanged! No-er-er I-I mean I am very pleased to meet you, Mr. Garcia, murmured Percival con- fusedly. Eight AND BLACK Garcia, after a sly wink Mary-ward, re- plied suavely, 'iAh senor, ze pleasair, she ees mutual. Then at Mai-y's invitation the two men sat down, one on either side of her.' Many times had Percival heard the old quota- tion, Two is company, three is a crowd , but never until now had he fully appre- ciated its grim truth. And while he shot murderous glances at Garcia, that una- bashed young man monopolized Mary 's at- tention with his incessant chatter. He even possessed the audacity to grasp both her hands and make love. t'Mairia, he whispered passionately, Hyour loveliness, she ees one gran' feast for my eyes. Oh, John, murmured Mary ecstatic- ally, Udo you really mean it?

This interruption was followed by a noise which sounded as if the unfortunate Junior's visage had come in contact with an admonishing hand, but alas! 'twas too late. For over toppled the screen and the culprits stood exposed to reproaehful eyes. ii - F ' Y. N,.,.L:---T-lg J iig e -,-- L- RYA 'J - 1..-.. Ii' .. .

The indis- creet Percival, however, chose this critical moment to burst into an unrestrained peal of laughter. Father, who in the meantime had rein- forced the remnants of his shattered dig- nity by assuming an indignant and injured air, now blustered threateningly: Wl1at in the devil are you laughing at, you all-fired idiot? N-nothing, Mr. Courtney, stam- niered Percival, abruptly ceasing his ill- timed mirth. Hm. Your general appearance proves you capable of doing seine such fool thing. By the way, it's rather late, don't you think so, young man? This last with a significant glance at the door. Wl1y, er-er-so it is, murmured Percival with assumed surprise, I-I think I had better be going. So with a final ferocious glare at his rival, Percival retired from the battle-field, But no sooner had this cruelly maltreated young man left than Garcia Hung his arms resignedly into the air and ejaculated: Bah, you Americans make me seeck! And so saying he strode disgustedly out of the room. The next afternoon, however, as Per- cival sat in his apartment gloomily medi- tat.ing upon the general futility of exist- ence, the telephone bell rang and Mary's voice asked whether he wouldn't be a Ndcar boy ' and come over and entertain her because she was all alone. Percival gladly acquiesced, even though the previ- ous evening's revelation rendered him AND BLACK skeptical concerning the latter part of her assertion. I , Upon his due arrival at the Courtney home a few minutes later, Mary received him graciously and led him into the parlor. But before seating himself on the painfully narrow sofa, he looked around half fear- fully. No, the Japanese screen was not in sight, so he heaved a great sigh of relief. Percival, Mary began, don't you think John the most adorable and romantic person in the world? 77 HWhat! ejaculated Percival in sur- prise. 'iWell, of all the silly things! I- 1 mean, yes. Don't you think he has the loveliest eyes and hair? continued Mary, enthu- siastically. 'LY-yes, answered Percival, ve- hemently wishing that the gentleman in question would be consigned to warmer regions. Oh, and I'm just wild about his accent, aren't you, Percival? cooed Mary. Hang it all, yes, was the exasperated Percival's response. . i 'ilam so glad you agree with me, Per- cival, because- here Mary heaved an ec- static sigh and a dreamy look crept into her eyes, I-I like him very much. He is my ideal Prince Charming. If only I were certain that he cared for me- ' Confound him! burst out Percival with surprising vehemence, if I could only lay my hands on him now, I-I'd- Wliy Percival I interrupted Mary, pretending to be shocked, but in reality in- tensely delighted, Uwhat in the world has happened to you?

Sis, why is Percival an idiotic fool, sis? If he likes you why don 't he kiss you, Sis? t'Good heavens ! ejaculated Percival, Hthis is enough to drive a man mad. And snatching up his hat, he strode out of the house. Once in his apartment, however, he Hung himself into an armchair before the book- case and gazed dejectedly at the display. Finally the title of one of the books so im- pressed itself upon his mind that he mu- singly repeated it aloud, 'AA Modern Lochinvarn. Then an idea, dawned upon the horizon of his mind with an abrupt-ness which well-nigh overwhelmed him. tOf course, dear reader, you will readily understand that Percival's ideas were wont to display their consideration by penetrating his rev- ered skull with less violence.j However, as this mysterious inspiration grew less and less vague, Percival became more and more delighted. Finally his en- thusiasm so completely dominated his usual self-consciousness that he cried out ex- citedly: By George, l'll do it! Oh, boy! And he performed a graceful pirouette for sheer joy. That evening while Mary was adding the finishing touches to her toilet., she heard a caressingly tender voice, accompanied by a guitar, sing an old Spanish serenade, a snatch of which wafted in through the open window- Ten A star hath been lost, A star hath been lost, And in the sky doth not appear, In thy room it hath been put And in thine eyes doth shine. Vida mia! Mary flew to the window, from which, upon leaning out, she beheld Garcia in a most picturesque pose. And as luck would have it, Percival, approaching at this mo- ment, saw the little tableau thus presented, and retreated into the shadows, but not be- fore he had been perceived by the two lovers, who, taking advantage of the situa- tion, waxed extremely sentimental. Mary blew a kiss to the serenader, and he, in turn, beseeched her in most caressing tones to 'twaft her roselike loveliness through the window of his soul. Mary, however, deemed it wiser to de- scend the stairs than waft through any window whatsoever. Therefore, having chosen the route boasting the most mirrors, she felt it incumbent upon herself to pause several minutes before each one. Meanwhile, Garcia fumed in the helpless manner men assume when they are waiting for a fussy female. Of course, when she finally did appear, he forccdly gulped down his impatience and, conducting her to a moss-covered bench in the garden, he knelt at her feet, and with one hand ro- mantically pressed to his heart, murmured tenderly: My darlink, I love you! WVeel you- But just then Percival rushed up, and before anyone could favor the intruder with a withering glance, he had caught Mary up in his arms and carried her to CContinued on page 1005 1----.1 - ., . .. , . l l Agiffj,-'--'5 ' 'K' X .-wuxji '55 1Q'7'.Q':3f' '- v ' A L Q o .

BLACK DOWN PARADISE LANE By Frances Ruth , HE June sun beat down upon the drowsy little hamlet tucked away in a New Hampshire valley. A slight breeze stirred the leaves while the bees lazily buzzed around the fragrant honeysuckles. A motor ear whirled along the curling white valley road and left a cloud of tloating dust behind. Then blessed noonfday tranquility prevailed again until- ' ' Meow-ltIe-ow-fli-leee-ow, ' ' broke the stillness. HJemima, are you twisting the cat-'s tail again? ' ' Uh-Uh-Yes 'm. ' ' HSt0p it. t' Awright. ' ' After a haughty tlip of her curls the twelve-year-old girl flung old Thomas into the cactus-hed from whenee he immediately hied off to safety. Jemima Stone then sat down on the piazza, stroking Rags, the Scotch terrier, with impatient thumps. She was thinking of herself and the universe in general as she gazed at the large, rambling mansion J! ac-ross the road. lt was known as the Old Stone House,', for it and the surrounding estate had been owned by some members of the Stone family since they had come north after the Civil XVar. It had a dilapi- dated and forsaken appearance and was untenanted at present. 'fAunt Polly, Jemima often inquired, 't'Why don't I have some relations, too, and live over in the Old Stone House 'l Prudence Lane- lives in the Lane Lodge and Virginia Lewis lives in sion. . t'NVell your mother and Y when you were a little thing heard of any other relations Lewis Man- father died and I never except some that went down with your father's lake steamer. Mrs. Lewis said that an old grand-aunt, Cynthia Madison, owned the house, but she eou1dn't strike a good bar- gain in selling it, so it stands as it is. You know, your father owed her some money and she got the house when he diedf, She didn't want me, did she? Jemima continued. No, she didn't love anything except an old cat named La.dy Fluffy Dui or some- thing like that. Wclll, she wasn't much of a relation, just your mother 's aunt by mar- riage. She lived near my sister Sally in Kingston. ' ' t'So then you kept me? HYes, was Aunt Polly's reply as she eontinued her work. Grand-aunt Cynthia was now dead, but the house still stood vacant. Today Jemima.'s mind was active and restless. I know what I'll do, she exclaimed de- lightedly as she thought of the cherry trees, so temptingly displaying their fruit clusters on the Stone premises. Rags thumped his tail with appreciation, and within ten minutes she had summoned her chums, Virginia and Prudence, and was boosting them up on the garden wall of the old house. Once the others were up it was Eleven 'w 'ILf- . ,W F ,,, 1 ' r 'X 'V ' fr' Q '- ' .. , . . la U' -- N :fi :g5Q'.fN., 3jT1 .

The trio, unconscious of the fascinating June scenery of the little valley and tower- ing hills, carefully picked their steps along the wall till they reached the overhanging branches of the old oak by means of which they swung to the ground. Jemima untied her apron, and Rags, with a joyous bark, jumped out. Then, somewhat tiinidly, the four approached the trees. But instantly timidity took wings, and their constant chatter, once begun, was punctuated only by ripe cherries. Three little girls in cherry trees are not nmch interested in the outside world, but pres- ently Rags began to bark frantically, and Jemima. dramatically announced, lt's a man! The others looked up as if a man were perched on the higher branches or falling from the skies. To their VVhere? Jemima gave the intelligent answer, 'Tfomin' , and the three promptly fell from the trees and fied, with frantic screams, toward the garden wall. Jemima, however, stumbled and fell to the ground, apprehensively regarding her apron pocket adorned with the tell-tale red sfains of accidentally crushed cherries, amid the urgent summons of her safe com- panions. 77 The intruder approached and she turned her blue eyes to him with an aggressive stare. Each silently regarded the other with genuine curiosity. He was a young man of about thirty years, handsome, refined- looking, and athletically built. He looks as if he'd twist that old cat's tail if he got a chance, surmised Jemima as she observed his twinkly blue eyes. 7 wr'I1.fe 'iWonder what he thinks of my freckled nose and tossed-up hair. But l heard the grocer say I was a charming New England beauty anyway, so I don't care, continued Jemima silently. The truce was over, for Jemima scrambled to her feet, perked her saucy face in the air, and declared, Well? The young man burst into hearty laugh- ter. Astonished at his actions, she bent forward and stared at him till he said, tcasingly, Do you like my cherries? She turned and tied after her companions with the intention of never eating Stone cherries again. The next day excitement was aroused in Stoneville. The Old Stone House was to be remodeled. For weeks carpenters, painters and gardeners held sway and soon it was the finest home in the valley. Jemima, overcoming her prejudices, enjoyed herself immensely, 'watching from the wall the wonderful transformation taking place. Then, some beautiful furniture was shipped to Stoneville and Jemima sat entranced at its Hmovin' in. The young man with twinkly blue eyes had moved in. When- ever Jemima met him her nose ascended into the air, while his eyes twinkled more tantalizingly than before. Aunt Polly soon took pity on The Man Across the Road , and with a woman 's in- tuition knew that he would best be set at ease through the medium of a platter of doughnuts. Jemima was delegated to do the errand and she, after much persuasion, got Virginia Lewis to go with her as a pro- tection against his nonsensical sallies. They found him with the greater part of his six feet extended under a 'motor F , W K Z K , I ,-: ' ' .' 1' :ff Q . - ' ' -- ' '.a5,:f!Q15 ' .iff i pu ,M 4 p V -ui' W v I fp .-Jwntanliuf U . 1- f2S'fL.', f,,,i?1.i J, I , .

Fine day, ladies, he greeted, with a grin on his grimy face as he got to his feet. Want to shake hands? he continued teasingly, extending an oily hand. HI believe we 've met before. The little girls looked at each other un- casily, but Jemima, alert as ever, non- chalantly exclaimed, as al beautiful Angora cat walked into the garage, I didn 't know you had a cat. Did you ever hear them, when you twist their tails? It's more fun.' They yell like circus wild- cats. '4VVell, now, I've never tried that, answered The Man Across the Road. I don 't suppose Lady Angie Fluffy Muff would survive such treatment. f'H'm, such a name for a eat! My Tom survives, but he hasn't such a delicate con- stitution. But l do hate 'fee-lean' animals, don't you? questioned Jemima with dis- gust. l eouldn't help it, didn't want the thing in the first place, answered their host with a careless shrug of his shoulders. All this time Virginia Lewis gazed with rapt admiration upon her latest hero's grimy face. t'XVell, continued Jemima as she re- membered her errand, 'thly Aunt Polly sent over some doughnuts to you. How very kind of her, answered HThe Man Across the Road. VVell, aren't you going to thank her? questioned Jemima, with a sophisticated expression on her face. To be sure, but before l thank her T must know your name. Mine's Virginia Lewis, volunteered the enrapt Virginia. I live down the road near the bridge. Jemima iiashed an angry glance at the two as The Man Across the Road answered, It just suits you, but what 's her name?' ' he,asked, pointing to the now silent Jemima. Jemima St--H Virginia began, but Jemima interposed as quick as a flash, ' ' Stubbles. ' ' Virginia, surprised by Jemima's hand being clapped over her mouth, gazed at the man with a sort of knowing smile and he grinned back at her. WVhat's your name? she inquired. Call me J ack, he answered. Jemima, being tormented by her childish jealousy and anger, with an indignant Hip of her brown curls and an angry tlash from her eyes at the happy Virginia, said with scornful words. My Aunt Polly says we must always address our elders with an appropriate title and you 're supposed to be ill r. Jack. Virginia, enjoying the attention lavished on her by Mr. Jack previous to J emima's sermon, burst out in half-way suppressed giggles, and Jemima reddened. And right then and there she picked up a big, lively grasshopper from the doorway and calmly dropped it down Virginia 's back amid the girl 's frantic screams. Jemi1na.Stubbles, you are a terrible vixen, announced Mr. Jack with a. mis- chievous grin as Virginia instantly ran home, arousing the hamlet with her yells.

Aunt Polly met the young culprit, seized her by one ear, and uncompromis- ingly marched her straight up into the garret, and duly shut and locked the door. Jemima, overcome by the unexpected- ness of the affair, sat down tonrcgain her equilibrium and then turned her attention to familiar surroundings. There were the same old books and miscellaneous fur- nishings in the uncertain danger of being resurrected from t-he dust and spiders, ac' cording to Aunt Polly's whims. Jemima arose from l1e1' corner and stretched herself with the naive remark, I can stretch from here to Concord. She then walked over to the bookshelf, tllld took a mental invoice of the titles according to their values. She would read. After wavering perceptibly in her choice, she shut her eyes, thrust out her hand and grasped a thin, little book. She opened her eyes, squinted at the title, and found it to be Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Curiosity led her to examine it. She climbed up on the window-seat and settled down to glance through the book. A second later, a merry whistling was heard below on the lawn, tllld she beheld Mr. Jack trotting up the gravel path to their piazza. I know why he came. He forgot to thank me for the doughnuts. Just then an overpowering sneeze shook her anatomy and Mr. Jack looked up in time to see a sour little face draw back from view, and then he burst into laughter. Hearing this, she unlatehed the screen, swung it open, and in a twinkling poor Fourteen Julius Caesar was whirling down, with no inconsiderable force, upon a mop of curly brown hair. Jemima, noting that she had hit her mark, complacently scrambled down and obtained Princess Adelaide's Adventure. Sl1e again settled herself a11d feasted gorgeously upon romance and adventure. Noon came and Jemima was called to lunch. Aunt Polly handed her Julius Caesar, together with Mr. Jack 's compli- ments, bnt Jemima took the book indiffer- ently, and silently sat upon it. XVhen the doughnuts were passed to her, she most graciously refused them. That afternoon she voluntarily retired to the garret to finish i6P1'lHCl'SS Adelaide, and with her mental system sufficiently fed, she began to long for doughnuts. She stole down to the second floor, slid down the banister to the first and then crept past the library, where Aunt Polly was enjoying a cat-nap, and thence to the pantry. Six doughnuts, five pickles and three bananas were hastily consumed, and i11 about an hour Dr. Cyrus Hopewell was called, and some horrid brown medicine was adminis- tered. But within three days, all aches and pains Forgotten, she sat dramatically nar- rating to her two ehums the romantic adventures of Princess Adelaide , how she threw a note over the garden wall appealing to the Good Fairy, strnek the Prince on the head, was rescued. and how they then walked happily and forever down the sunny Paradise Lane to the Land of Golden Sunsets.

Jemima proudly answered in the affirma- tive, and the triumvirate disbanded for lunch. Late in the afternoon they met again, and after a bit of parlance decided to play Princess Adelaide . They dispersed to get the required articles. Jemima had three .strips of muslin, Prudence three pencils and pieces of paper, and Virginia had procured three small stones. The articles were divided, and they sat down, tailor-fashion, slyly peeking over each other's shoulders to see what the others were writing. Why, Virginia Lewis, l'm ashamed. What do you think Virginia wants? exclaimed Jemima heat- edly. To Prudence's inquiry with the utmost of scorn, UA Yours respectively, Jemima Georgina Cordelia Lee Stone, Box 14. Belding Road, Stoneville, N. H. The three girls folded their papers, tied them up with a stone in the muslin, and after some discussion, decided to throw their good wishes over the Stone's garden wall, provided no one was in the garden. Prudence was promptly boosted up to survey the beautiful gardens on the other side. She glanced around, and at the vine- elad summer house. No one was in sight and even the old manse looked as it all had fled. Satisfied with the results ot' the survey, she reached the ground again, and the three solemnly walked about twenty feet from the wall with slow, deliberate steps, contem- plating their t'uture actions.

Turning to her own, she read from the thumb-soiled scrap of paper: 'tDear Good Fairy: Seems funny to me that with all the Stones in New Hampshire, l don't even have a cousin. wish, quoth Prudence as her missive tlew over. She stood breathlessly as Virginia 's love message tol- lowed, lt was Jemima 's turn. She-glanced at the stone, then at the wall, and with a hopeful face watched the white knot speed through the air. Their hearts beat- ing like trip-hammers, they stood silently facing the wall, and with petrified Faces watched a man gradually appear above it. lt was Mr. J ack. They dashed off in three directions, the villain following one of them-Jemima. NVl1en he caught her, way down the road, her heart melted completely, and she actu- ally smiled at him.

A dark seowl was on his freck- eled face, his cat eyes were shining danger- ously, and he was muttering something about crazy teachers . He soon found himself in the street and started walking in the direction ot home, hands deep in pockets, head lowered, the seowl still vis- ible. He was interrupted from l1is terrible rcverie by an angry voice. Say, can't you look where you're go- ing? That was my corn. ' H Two brown hands seized Charlie by the shoulders, giving him a severe shake which landed him on the curbstone. W'hen he recovered his senses he noticed that his assailant, who was looking down at him, was a man of gigantic size. Black wavy hair crowned his head, and over one of his piercing black eyes was a large black patch. He reminded Charlie, in every respect, of Polyphemus in 'f'I'he Odyssey . Charlie had just been studying this hook and, therefore, mentally named him the Modern Cyclops. ' The next day was Saturday, the day of the big game. The town bullies were to play the gentlemen ot the town. It was the last baseball game of the season, so of course everyone that was interested in a boys' amateur baseball game was there. The big league had kindly given them the use of their park, and the grand- stands were filled. ' 'T There was confusion on the field. For a while it seemed as if there would be no game. Mr. Emil Kise, the only man who really knew enough about baseball to um- pire a game and who had so kindly offered his services, had been called away on im- portant business. Well, no game this afternoon. VVe'1l have to wait for Mr. Kise. We'll postpone it till next week, Charles Crall, the youthful captain of the gentlemen , brusquely commented. :tWe'll do nothing of the kind. Turn all those people back? Old Kise ean't 'ump' anyway. This from John Kabo, who was the Hbullies' i' captain. A tall, heavy-set man who had been an auditor to this discussion stepped forward, saying: Hey, boys, I'm a stranger to you all, but lf've had a little experience in um- piring. ' ' No, we can t take you, you ain't got enough recommendations. ' ' Charles had recognized immediately his Modern Cyclops, and he figured that he might be recognized and the Modern Cyclops might make his side lose for spite. But a vote was taken and the Modern Cyclops was duly elected. By this time the spectators had grown impatient, but at last the shout went up that the game was going to start. The Bullies had first in- nings, but scored nothing. The first tive innings slipped by one after another, but nothing happened. The score was O-0, and the spectators were looking very much dis- 7 Seventeen I on he -T i ll T jf-f'f'F -'Yi' '! -' I - L Jtv.i3i'V4'1'5: 'QU te f f ,,-..-EZ ' L a t at -f -'I 1 -1 ff 4-' 'f'- .- i-Q.. --s'Bwf.3f-L - init' 1 THLL RED AND BLACK gusted. Searcely a player had got past tirst base. John Kabo had managed to get to third once and Charlie to second, but no further. The sixth inning. The Bullies had scored three and now the Gentlemen had their turn. Charlie Crall was at bat. He was pretty doggone sore . He was sure he wasn't going to he out at second that time. He knew that old M. C. would do that. Q Hey, you're captain, aren't you? I ought to know your namef' It was the Modern Cyclops. Charlie put down his hat. A mis- chievous imp seized him and he answered in a low tone: No-man. ' ' The next. minute he heard him call out: 'tSt1-ike one. That wouldu't do. He hit his lip and gripped the bat harder. Strike two! 'Charlie was terribly mad now. The M. C. came closer, and before he knew it he swung his bat backward to strike the ball, but struck lil. C. across the cheek instead. He almost 'expected him to call out: No-man is hurting me. But not a sound did the M. C. utter. Charlie didn't know whether he had struck at the ball or not, but he was sure he was out and was about to throw up the bat when he heard: , f'Ball one! A A Vifith renewed strength he hit the hall a whack that sent it fiying across the field. ' Athomer! A homer! cried the excited spectators. liiglzlvvn ' Now he was at first. They were still running after the ball. He was at second now. The center fielder had it, but dropped it, and it rolled fast away again. Third base! The right fielder was in the act of throwing the ball. He was the most powerful thrower the Bullies had, but still Charlie would heat that hall. Home never seemed so far before. He realized the ball was whirling above his head. He gave a. leap and stretched out l1is hand. His fingers barely touched the home plate. The catcher was on top of him, ball in hand. All for nothing, was his mental com- ment when the M. C. called out Safe, and spread out his hands. Safe! He could scarcely believe it. He was almost sure he was out, but he didn't care. The Bullies were angry. It wasn't fair play, they said. But it wasn't safe to dispute the umpire. Three more runs in that inning and the score was 4-3. Three more innings, but neither side scored. The Bullies tried their best in the ninth, but the Gentlemen held their ground. They went home very happy. After three years, they ha.d managed to whip the Bullies. The spectators' seats and the field were empty. The latter, save tor two tigures. Charlie Crall and the M. C. Charles for- got himself. VVell, Mr. Cyclops, let me thank you for this victory. Wl1y, how did you know that was my name? Wl1at d-d-do you mean. stammered Charlie, turning very red. Just what I say. My real name is Simon Clops, but they call me Si Clops for short.

B L A C K THE ADVANCED SENIORS By Ernst 'Buchmiller N January, 1918, a class of New Juniors entered Central High Sel1ool to start pestering the teachers, absorb some Central spirit, and, as a necessary evil, to let a little knowledge soak in. This group of troublesome iniividuals proceeded through their first six terms, and in January, 1921, organized under Mr. Bock's sponsorship as New Seniors, electing Frank Mathews, president, Ethel Cross- ley, vice-president, Celeste Russell, secre- tary, and, last, Floyd Clear was given the exceedingly hard task of collecting dues and other donations. Then began a whirl of social activities such as dances and picnics. The first affair, a dance, we owe to the class of June, 1921. But what were enjoyed most were the pic- nics, one at Meramec Highlands, where Mr. VVallack did much toward the entertaining, and one at Clilf Cave, where Mr. Bock kept the crowd in good spirits. At this last picnic three boys of the class earned the name of '4Cave Men by going a long distance through the cave on hands and knees, and then being forced by the narrow- ness ot' the passage to turn around and come out through the same opening which they entered. ' Then the illness of Frank Mathews neces- sitated his resignation as president, and the class chose Harvey Swanson to take his place. The first thing, that was done was to give a picnic at Meramec High- lands. . p A Hallowe'eu party was planned next. to which the New Seniors were invited and T'ZQ'a'Ilfj'. where everybody was served real cider and doughnuts. Then everybody buckled down to the problem of how to get by with an F or a P, but the New Seniors disturbed this peaceful existence, giving the Seniors a good time by inviting them to a splendid party in the Boys' Gymnasium. After a presentation to the school, on Thursday, December 8, Parker's '4Dis- raeli was given by a cast of Seniors be- fore an audience of invited guests. The Senior Class as a whole wishes to thank Miss Eimer, who directed it, and the east, who worked so faithfully to give a good production. Their labors have been re- warded, for the critics have been so kind as to say that the presentation of the play on Friday evening, December 9, was a dc- cided success. From the description of all these social events one would get the idea that all tl1e activities of the advanced Seniors have been frivolous, but that is not true. Several of them have been studious enough to be re- warded with all E report cards and many have held- responsible offices in vari- ous organizations. As it becomes a unit of the Central Alum- ni, the graduating class of January, 1922, owes a great debt to Mr. Bock, who took its affairs to heart and sponsored it so well, to our principal, who allowed and helped promote its activities, and also to the fae- ulty and student body for being interested in the various Senior stunts.

Gee, 1 thought we'd give a comedy or something light. The above exclamation was heard when- ever there was a Senior gathering just after the announcement of the name of the Class Play. We think we may safely say that there was not a Senior who was absolutely satisfied with the choice. The next things that were heard about the play were the questions with which one Senior greeted another about a week later. Did you get a slip 'V' HWho else got a slip? Do we try out tonight?,' Vlfhen all the excitement of the tryouts was over an.l the parts definitely assigned, the tedious work of training began. .lint perhaps we should not eall sueh interesting work tedious. The play was given in rather a hurry. Three weeks from the day on which the first rehearsal was held a full dress re- hearsal was given before the school and in spite of the fact that the pupils of the sehool were quite restless and prevented the completion of the play with as much ease as had been promised by the beginning, the play came off very well on the following evening. The very difficult and charming part of Mrs. Travers, the Russian spy, was ex- tremely well rendered by Jane Hixon. The contrasting character of Clarissa was held equally well by Frances Simpson. Miss Simpson quite carried away the audience with her sweet smile and naive manner. She even melted the heart of her somewhat stern and haughty mother, the Duchess, portrayed by Bernice Steber, who did not even quail before the anger of her husband, the Iluke, depicted by Richards O'Hare. The part of Ulmrles, Viscount Deeford, was excellently upheld by David Haihnan. Dis- raeli, Tom J olley, was the crowning success. Even Mrs. Travers herself was surprised at the ability with which Disraefi played sick . Paula Jens, Alfred Goblinger, Rene Etevard, Frona Willis, George Greene, Drilla Du Vall, NVilliam Bracken, Ralph Eason, Harry Sherman, Paul Sigan, and Floyd Clear represented the minor char- acters of the play, and served as an ex- cellent complement to the more prominent parts, being largely responsible for the suc- eess of the production as a whole. The Class was greatly handicapped by laek of money, but we surmounted this dif- ficulty as other classes before us have done. We had beautiful scenery which was well fitted to the period in which the action took place. The costumes were beautiful. Though made by the members of the east, many of the audience wondered where sueh costumes had been rented. The Orchestra, led by Mr. Davis, fur- nished delightful music during the inter- missions and the soft strains of two violins put the final toueh of perfect harmony to the last aet of an almost perfect play. 7'l1ir1y-.sewn l V- V' 4- , Y ' ' - ' -,A- ,, ,: 5 -- 'sw - - 'e?+1wff . e-5' t '- -f - , .u 5 A-J, - 1. 2 - ., , ,- -fill.. --- -- ., , , Wea - fill'-' W' 1177.1-,-if EE-. 37'T1S?FF -'f -ze ' f.

B L A C K A COLD WORLD, THIS By Mozelle Riehl OR. an hour or more everything was quiet in the Daymar Boarding School. . Not a. sound could be heard. Then breaking out upon tl1is silence came the sonorous striking of the old grandfather clock below. ' 'lOne, two, three, four, live, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, counted Bess. Now why don't those lights go out. A soft tap, tap, tap was heard below and out went the lights. This seemed to double the silence. Then the tap, tap came up to the second floor, a light went on for a few minutes, then darkness followed. Now's our chance, girls. Let's go. Ready? All packed? Forward, march, directed Flo, in a low but distinct whisper. Down the Golden Stairs tso named be- cause of the infrequcncy of usage due to the list of rules in the oiicc, item SD through the front hall to the dining room, and thence to the kitchen they went. 'llhere were tive girls in all, every one of them well skilled in the art of making candy quietly at night. Flo was the ac- knowledged manager, because oi' her ability to direct. Bess was rather timid and very easily frightened, and there was much dis- cussion carried on before she was allowed to take part in this night's adventure. She was tl1e class president's favorite and often spilled the beans for the other girls in order to have something to talk about. Ruth was the clown of the bunch. She would stumble over her own feet and fall that on the ground. However, she was a necessity to the group, because her father Tllirty-eight' sent her all the. money she asked for, and her grandmother often packed her a nice box of goodies and sent it out to her to divide among her friends. t ' Dot and Be completed this chosen few, and were two of the most spirited quick- thinkers of the school. Dot had a most terrible cold and took part in this atfair only after much coaxing and teasing. Be was well known among her teachers for walking in her sleep, and was locked in her room at night to prevent her nocturnal perambulations. Miss Combe had fastened Be's door securely before retiring on this particular evening, but Be had already left her room, after covering the dummy which was there in her place, and had crawled under Dot's bed, while Miss Combe com- pleted her rounds. Only after llliss.Co1nlJe had retired, the clock had struck, and the Superintendent had locked herself in her apartments, did the girls dare to budge from their dormitory. , M The Golden Stairs creaked at certain in- tervals and the girls would have to stop, look, and listen before attempting to go forward. Then bump, bump, bump, crash! Ruth let the measuring cup tall down the stairs. A door opened above and the girls huddled into a dark corner. NVho's there? came fromabove. lt was the Superintendent's voice. - ls anybody up? Don't keep me from my rest. Girls, is that you? - Silence.

Yes, but I think it was outside some- where. Don 't you? answered Miss Combe. Outside Fiddlestieks. Then stomp, stomp, bang, eliek, ereak, bang, click, and silence reigned again. The girls emerged from their eoneealment, drew a. long breath simultaneously, and pro- ceeded mechanically down the stairs. At the bottom they pieked up the ruins of the measuring cup and went on. t'The breaking up of China eame from the l'0tlI'. Giggles followed and 'tSh S from Flo. They were in front of the eloek now and Bess gave a hasty glanee to see the time. Dot shuddered and put her arm through Be's. Gee, '1'm just shakin' like everything, Be. l'm as eold as Miss Field on the Latin Exam days. 'iSo'm 1. But don't let Flo hear you. Sheil tease the lite out of us. H011 well, l don 't eare, she's too bossy anyway. I wish lfd never given in. They had reached the kitehen by this time and Ruth was pulling down a window. 'iPull the shade down, too, Ruth, said Flo. Ruth did not answer, but she pulled the shade down ali right, and all the way down, off the roller. This was easily mended, and soon the girls were busy placing the ingredients in the pans. lt's my turn to stir, said Bess. Like 1ish! retorted Be. lt.'s my turn. You stirred the very last. pan a week ago tonight. Well, what if l did. ,l hollered 'first stir' tonight. t'Suits me,'? mumbled Bess, and she plaeed her pau on the stove and began to stir. ' ' Who 's jiggerin' il 't Yes, you might well ask that. 1t's left to George, of course, said Dot. 'iAnd my cold is so bad, too. Come on out with me, Be, will you J? Sure, Dot., you old dear. Ruth, you grease the pans and stir my candy, will you? So long everybody. Don't forget to relieve the guards. For the next half hour nothing was heard but the rhythmic noise made by the spoons stirring the candy. Then the rattle of tin pans and the dripping of the water ehanged the monotony of the stirring. Finally that too stopped and Be and Dot wondered what was going on in the kitchen. They didn't dare leave their post of duty, because someone might eome while they were away. Then miie, weire ea-, come a hoarse whisper from the pantry and trailed otli to nothing. ., ' 'VVhat was that if asked lie in a whisper. 'tHush, answered Dotg someone's try- ing to tell us something.

She's discovered- and the voice from the pan- try stopped. What has she discovered, and who is she? queried Be as she looked through the eraek of the door. 0h! lt's Miss Field.

She went out on the porch and stood for a while gazing at tl1e heavens and then sat down, quietly humming to herself. Miss Field followed and sat on a milk can opposite to Be. The other girls, in the meanwhile, stealthily slipped up to the dormitory, ear- rying their pans of boiling hot candy with- out spilling a drop. As soon as Dot had deposited her candy safely under her bed, she ran to Miss Field 's door, took a particular key otf the ring, retraced her steps to Be's room, and with a practiced hand unlocked the door, leaving the key in the keyhole. Finally they all reached their respective beds with a sigh of relief and jumped into tl1e1n, pulling the covers up over their trembling bodies. They lay in bed listening and wait- ing tor Be and Miss Field to ascend to the dormitory. Five minutes passed, then ten, and still silence. The clock struck quarter after eleven, and Bess, who felt like scream- ing, went over to Dot's hed a11d crawled in with her. Five more minutes passed without a word, then Bess, utterly hopeless, began, i'Oh! Dot, why did you let her do it? 1 know Miss Field will be suspicious, and besides it they should. find Ruth 's slipper, itis all otf for us. Find Ruth's slipper? VVhy what do you mean? Did she lose it? Oh, it's just like her to do something wrongf' wailed Dot. UVVell, if you were running as fast as l and stepped in a. wad ot' chewing gum, 1 guess you would have left your slipper too, retorted Ruth. Forty Dot would have said something, but just then they heard a key i11 the door and saw Be enter with Miss Field at her heels. Be was staring hard, but managed to wink good naturedly at Dot, as she passed down the aisle of the dormitory on the way to her room. Be wore a worried look in spite of her apparent good humor. She was thinking of her locked room and the dummy inside as she took hold of the door-knob. She turned the knob slowly and the door opened, to her astonislnnent. Someone had been thoughtful and unlocked it for her and left the key in the door. As soon as Be was in her room, Miss Field pulled the door shut and locked it, taking the key along. .Be sat on the edge of the bed and laughed to her l1Eil1't,S content, and then jumped under the covers and was soon asleep. Morning dawned brightly for all but tive of the Daymar girls. Dot considered it wise to remain in bed because her cold was ex- eecdiiily worse, and Be, in order to make her nightmare appear natural, was required to remain in her room for breakfast and oc- casionally complain of a terrible headache. The other three were on pins and needles as they walked down to the dining room that morning. The Superintendent came in with her usual good-morning, and a night-slipper in her hand. Flo shivered, Bess turned white, and Ruth coughed hysterically. The Su- perintendent walked up to Ruth and said, How did your slipper get into the dining room last night? Ruth's brain worked fast and her heart was in her mouth as she answered, 'iBe borrowed them to make a pattern from. i'YVhat has that to do with it? ques- V' ,Zi-gi- g f 7 , f ' --'ree bia:a.fae f:f' , DQDRYAYPTZ' ---,-, 4- -Qfmfli ...,,,.,,, A h .

She walked in her sleep last night, and I suppose she accidentally put it on, fib- bed Ruth buoyantly. if Very well, then, said the Superintend- ent sharply, and turned on her heels abrupt- ly and left the room. Ruth tled from the dining room and up to Be's room, followed by two almost frantic girls. She told Be of her falsehoods and gave her the candy which was broken into dainty bits and placed in a white candy box. Be shoved it aside and uttered, Ugh, I can't enjoy that until everything is cleared and blown over. I know we can't play Field Day. How's Dot? ls she up yet? No, she's in for the day and maybe a week. Her cold is terrific and they have moved her over to the medical ward, in- formed Bess nervously. There goes the bell, Beg are you going to class? There's an Aud Session called for this morning. l wonder if it could be- t'Nonsense, reiterated Flo. 4'You're always pessimistic about Sessions. Forget it. .lJet's go before we're late. So long, Be. Sorry it happened. Eat some of your candy. 1t's delicious. The girls gathered in thc auditorium whispering among themselves of the sub- ject for thc morning. Some thought it was a lecture, others declared it to be a pep session for the coming Field Day, and still others Qthe threel had different theories. The Superintendent arose and the room became deadly quiet as she began. A most serious question faces us this morning, and our suspicions lie in a particu- lar small circle. But to justify our beliefs, we have called a meeting in order to give the accused occasion to prove themselves guiltless, if possible. , That was enough for the particular three. They knew the subject well and saw the situation most vividly. Not a glimmer ot a hope could they see, and with Dot and Be upstairs, circumstances were dark indeed. The Superintendent kept on talking and the girls sat on the edges of their chairs. Fi- nally she said: lVe are sorry to have to inflict the in- nocent with such as this, but as things of this nature are bound to turn up time and again, it is our duty to attend to thein, at your expense. Every one will assemble in their respective classes as usual, and at three-thirty the guilty party will appear in my office for a private consultation and to receive punishment without wincing. You're dismissed. The girls left with considerable buzzing, and filed to their various class-rooms. A deep gloom had settled upon the school, for the next day was to he Field Day, and everyone knew that the success and glory of the school lay in the power of t.he par- ticular five who were guilty. For two sea- sons the Daymar Girls had been successful in holding the honors of Field Day. Once they had full title to them and the other time they were tied with the Boswell Stu- dents. One more time and the bowl could have t'Daymar', inscribed upon it. Wliat if they should fail? Wliere would their former glory be? Trampled under the feet of their hated rivals of Boswell just on account of an untimely and unfortunate act on the part of their very best players. Bess watched the clock, the hours passed very slowly. Wlien the time arrived the girls met and went down the long corridor, Forty-om' we A+-:Li- . is - 7 ' I 'Lfsgsstffggq' A D' - - , ,.Jw--- ny '.

Humanism in the 1-lth een- tnry is said to have begun the period of the Renaissance. The Renaissance, we might say, was the last stage ot the Middle Ages, adopting the light of ancient culture in all its perfection. 'l'he discovery and restoration ot the classics of Ancient Greece and Rome pro- voked inquiry, encouraged criticism, and shattered the narrow mental barrier im- posed by the then mediaeval orthodoxy. The culture which had been developed in Ancient Greece and Rome, the classical works of Homer, Plato, Cicero, a11d others were almost entirely forgotten during the reign ot the HDark,' period ol' the liliddle Ages. 'l'he continuous progressive development ol' society, or I l'0,Ilf'i0ll if you please, re- sulted in a stupendous change ot' ideas in the Hth century. Among' the learned persons active in the humanistic period, Erasmus, Boccaccio, Sir 'llhomas More and others, Petrarch is the recognized cosmopolitan representative of the Renaissance. Petrarch, in his autobiography, written as a letter to posterity, tells us that he was horn on the twentieth of July, 1304, in Arezzo, ltaly, where his parents were in Anastasoff exile. llis parents' home originally was in Florence, but for some cause they were ex- pelled from that city. Petrarch physically was well built, having a quick and active body and possessing a clear complexion. Ile also possessed a well-balanced, rather than a keen intellect-one prone to all kinds of good and wholesome study, but espec- ially inclined to moral philosophy and thc art of poetry. He also tells us that late in his life he neglected poetry a11d 'itook delight in sacred literature. Among the other subjects which interested him was antiquity, and he also delighted in history. His graceful sonnets are a famous part. of Italian literature, but his chief intiuenee upon the world lay in his work as a tire- less critic of the mediaeval system. He attacked the schoolmen and the universities of his time as worthless and as nests of gloomy ignorance . His attacks were not confined to the universities only. Although he admired Aristotle as ua man of tl1e most exalted genius , he did not stop his attacks upon Aristotle's disciples, as not only are they good for nothing else, hut- their per- verted activity renders them actually harm- fulw. Petrarch wanted to see the world recover what the ancients had possessed of art and knowledge, that it might take up pro- gress again where they left oft. He traveled to Paris, the Netherlands, and to Cologne to study their culture. Petrareh began an enthusiastic sca1'ch for classical mann- scripts, and his disciples, especially Boc- caceio, soon made this enthusiasm fash- Forty-ihrrc JI 5 Q Qf 'Xi ff 1'-,,,-.47 K Smal LXYT-A 1 V ,J ' -N 1'ft:-.v ',-- '.?,,i -'r::-'jj--...,.

He much ad- mired Cicero and congratulates him as U great father of Roman eloquence! And hc, himself, endeavored to copy Cieero's works. This activity of Petrareh led to the foundation of the Vatican library of Nicholas V, and at the same period Cosimo of Florence founded a library by hiring over forty men to copy and translate books from the Greek. The disciples of Petrzirch introduced the study of Greek by inviting Greek teachers into Italy for this purpose. AND BLACK Thanks to Petrareh's acquaintance with kings, princes, and bishops, the resulting popularity and intiuence made possible the accomplishment of his ideals. His indi- vidualistic activity, in the field of literature and art, hastened progress and develop- ment by restoring the ancient classical literature. Petrarch's humanistic char- acter, therefore, was the medium or con- necting link between the Ancient Greek and Roman culture and the Renaissance of the 14th century, the befrinnine' of the cul- P B ture of today. ' DEBATING By Lenard Finger T is the task of cultured men to de- vise and operate the intricate mechan- ism ot civilized society. The primary essential of true cultivation and leadership is the ability to express one's views in- telligently aud forcibly. The principal method of communicating opinions and ideas are by speech and by writing. Of these two methods the former is the more often employed. ,lf there is any doubt pertaining to the necessity of convincing speakers, let us take into consideration a. few of the follow- ing questions: NVl1o fanned the flickering spark of American freedom into the flame which resulted in our liberation from Brit- ish tyranny 'Z VVho originated the institu- tions for which America has been famed? Whom do we call to the helm of the ship ol' state when the storm of discord beats 'Z VVho holds the scales of jurisdiction? At the Arms Conference today, who speaks in behalf of the rights of humanity? Arc lfurly-fn nr they men of ignorance, or are they our leading cultivated minds? These questions, if honestly answered, reveal the fact that every good or great deed is inspired by convincing and per- suasive speakers. From the mere standpoint of personal attainments, a convincing speaker places himself above the rank and file of people. In ordinary conversation the tiuent speaker enjoys many advantages over the man who falters in his discourse. He commands twice his importance and respect. The forcible talker is accompanied by the same superiority in business procedure. He tin- ishes his negotiation before another-type of man begins it. VVebster said, This lovely land, this glorious liberty, these benign institutions, the dear purchase of our fathers, are oursg ours to enjoy, ours to preserve, ours to transmit.

ON THE STREET CAR HE other day we got on a. street ear. It was rather erowded, though no one was standing, and we looked about for a seat. About the middle of the ear we spied a little' fellow 'in gray, a boy about eleven years old, we should judge, and we thought we would sit down by him. He was reading a. newspaper, we noticed as .......Ass'isin11!

He opened it to the editorial page, and then ensued a long struggle to fold the newspaper back. It was really too big for the little fellow to handle, we observed, with the feeling of superior years, but he finally mastered it and returned again to his reading. Fl7l'l'j'-llillt FF STA E.

A N D B L A C K Being in a. particularly eonvivial and condescending mood, we thought we would engage the child in conversation. Eng deavoring to tind something to start off on, Olll' eyes suddenly fell upon the school books 1115011 his lap, among which was a note book, and written on it in a childish hand, John Cunningham . I-Ie was still engaged with the paper, and we were about to say in a voice calculated to mystify our youthful companion, You are John Cunningham, are you not? when the car gave a lurch and two or three of the boy's books fell to the door. When he picked them up and once more nestled down to his newspaper, we forgot our clever plan compounded before the fatal lurch, and peered reminiscently at the titles of the volumes. expecting to see old green-backed S0?!Hi'Ill0l'Hl' and Stone, per- haps, over which, in our ancient day, we had many times cudgelled our brains and cursed our luckless starsg and, mayhap, Bald'1e'i1z's Rmdrr, with the thrilling abridgement of Tfornlius at the Bridge. with which we had often bcgiiiled away the hours when we should have been study- ing Geography out of the large brown vol- ume that was so awkward to carry. We dwelt. fondly for a passing moment on those old acquaintances of our own happy grammar school days. VVhat we saw on the ehildls lap set us blinking a hit: Modern Methods of Chem- ical Analysisng t'lNle'lieval and Modern Historyng Second Year Algebra -there were several more books, but we didn't stop to read their captions. Rising hastily, disillusioned, feeling about two years old. we had just time enough as we started bewildered to the exit, to see our young friend toss the newspaper aside with a yawn, and obviously greatly bored, take his school books from his lap, and place them on the seat we had just vacated, as though he were glad to change his cramped position. THE BOYS' GYMNASIUM ERETOFORE the Boys' Gymnasium has been accorded little attention by the majority of the school. ln the Central High News of November 22, however, as one of a series of articles on the work of the several departments of Central, an article by Willia.zl1 Hoppe appears, in which the author makes up for lost time by cov- ering the gymnasium in a general way. The work of such a valuable department, consisting both in building up the physique of the boys of Central and in affording a medium for wholesome recreation, is cer- tainfy deserving of notice, and we take the liberty of reprinting some excerpts from the News article. The' statement that 4'-every player works with a determination to win. One will have to look pretty hard to see a poor loser in our gymnasium either at work or at play1 shows toward what .end Mr. Kittlaus and Mr. Heineman work in the gymnasium, and with what results. The keynote of the article, perhaps, is struck -in the. following : H-The boys are made to feel that everything they do is either contributing to the high standard held in the gymnasium or hindering it, and under these circumstances t-here is- very little hindrance. TWO FOUNTAINS ODAY we felt warm and stuffy and i 'very thirsty, and we went to the drinking fountain with an obvious pur- Fifty-0111: a.Q,...,,- .1 THE .'. RED pose. As we bent our head and pursed our lips to imbibe, and as we imbibcd in such a posture, we heard the water as it ran out of the nickel-plated faucet into a porcelain bowl that seemed to have mem- ories of more immaculate days. As we stood there, drinking from that dingy fountain sticking out of a dingier wall of the dingiest corridor imaginable, and heard the water running as it always does, we faintly remembered having been in a similar situation somewhere else and at some other time. Vile tried to recall the conditions under which we had bent our head to drink, and had heard the musical laughter of waters. lvhere had it been? Yes, assuredly we had before been under similar yet entirely different circumstances. NValls had enclosed us on either side, as they now did, and a ceiling had stretched over us, but they had been the leafy grbins of a mountain forest-green, fresh, and pungent. And we had assuredly bent, as we now did, over a fountain, only it had been over the clear, cool waters that bub- bled in silver efferveseence from the gen- erous heart of the mountain, flowing but a few feet down the canyon rocks before again sinking to the mountain's mother heart. And as we now let go the spigot, which snapped back, shutting the water off auto- matically, and as we rose. still warm and stuify as before, and almost as thirsty, we remembered how we had left the refresh- ing mountain spring that ran forever on, independent of all man's mechanics and hydraulics, and how, adjusting our pack to our shoulders, we had traveled on through the shadows and the sunshine of the lilother Mountain. liifry-lien A N D B L A C K WITH US ONCE AGAIN N October 4th the pupils of Central readily forgot the lessons which as a rule weigh so heavily upon their youthful minds, and eagerly galloped to their seats in the Aud to lend all eyes and ears to the celebrated visitor of the morning, Edgar A. Guest. Mr. Guest had spoken 'in our Aud nearly a year before, but his talk was delivered after school hours to the eity's public school teachers, so that this was the first time the Central boys and girls as a whole had an opportunity of listening to his pleasant recitat-ions, delivered in a quaint and truly individual style. As the Globe-Democrat happily re- marked, Mr. Guest was as spry as the proverbial cricket . Vile hope that another statement that newspaper made is as true. namely, that the poet is coming to realize the exhaustibility of the themes-he has chosen, and to reach out for more profound subjects, for we agree that his class of read- ers llas somewhat outgrown his poetry ol' the homely and is ready for the next step of advancement. It seems that his power for good would be greatly lessened were he to deny his poems the elevation they de- serve, and for which critics have been watching. Mr. Guest's recitations were such as would naturally appeal to boys and girls. NVl1atever accusations may be made eon- cerning his work and its weak points, still it must be admitted that Edgar Guest has done a great deal towards bringing poetry closer to the heart of the average American, a group to wl1icl1 the poet himself is in all probability glad to belong. 47-SRA 1 , Il Q ez say I f f f 5 X w , ' X 1 K l 'X '-X ' V X N 1 -A ,f-N4 Z' X K ,ff f, 1 I jx ,XV f I ff L 'X 'V --- .. -N',s'--1-'xrxif-'wr 7-:g r --4,.

Goldberg received the pass should be given to the team and Mr. VValker for their splendid showing throughout the past season. NVhen the eall for football players was issued, Coach XValker reeeived about seventy-tive raw recruits, some of whom had had little or no experience i11 football. Four letter- men from last year's team reported. Cap- tain Fred Fisher, Erwin Fisher. Donald Conrad, and Frank Matthews. Around these men Coaeh 'Walker had to organize a fighting team for the opening game with McKinley. On October 22 Central defeated Bleliin- ley by the score of 27-0. Al- and ran ten yards for a touchdown. Meliinley came back iighting hard in the seeond halt, but Central was too strong For them. A series of forward passes and line plunges brought Central to MeKinley's two-yard line, where Kittlaus went over for the third touchdown. In the fourth quarter Central brought the ball to Me- liinley's thirty yard line, where Fox re- eeived a pass from Kittlaus and ran for the linal touchdown. The whistle blew shortly after and Central marched off the field vietorious. On November 5 Central lost to Soldan by the score of 24-6. In the though MeKin- f F Y . - ley was not con- sidered a dan- gerous foe, it mad e Central work hard for its victory. Mc- Kinley received p the b all, but - - 1 first quarter Central sur- prised Soldan with a t r i e k play w h i e h scored a. touch- down, but we failed to kick goal. The see- V--1 soon lost it on downs. Central then worked its way down to MeKinley's tive-yard line where Erwin Fisher went over for a touchdown. Play was fairly even throughout the rest of the iirst quar- ter. ln the set-ond quarter Central scored another touchdown by means ol' a triek play. Goldberg, Central's left end, lay low on the left side of the field while the team ran a play over to the right side. McKinley did not notiee Goldberg, and ond quarter Sol- dan started a series of end runs which gave them a touchdown. They also sueeeeded in kicking goal so that the seore stood 7-6 at the end ot the first halt. In the third quarter Soldan scored again by the same taeties. Central came back fighting hard in the fourth quarter and made a. strong effort to put over another touchdown, but failed. Soldan intercepted a forward pass which netted their third touehdown.

Central made a sudden spurt at the end of the fourth quarter, hut it was too late to accomplish anything. 'When the final whistle blew the score was 24-6 in Soldan's favor. On Novelnber 12, Central and Cleveland battled a hard-fought game to a 21-21 tie. The outcome was not a. big surprise, for the two teams were evenly matched. Cleve- land scored first when fullback VVilliams circled Ccnti-al's end for a fifty yard dash and a touchdown. Kittlaus, splendid punting worked the ball down to Cleve- land 's two-yard line, where a Central tack- lcr recovered a fumble. Cleveland fought hard and held Central for two downs, but 011 the third down quarterback Fisher tore through center for the tying score. Central scored its second touchdown when Kohlby fumbled a punt when he was tackled, and Goldberg recovered the hall and ran twenty-five yards for a touch- down. The final Central SCOPE came when Kittlaus intercepted a forward pass from Williams and 1-an through a broken field forty-five yards and a touchdown. Cleve- land came back strong in the second half, when several short passes and an end run hy Plank placed the hall on Centi-al's line for a touchdown. Cleveland got her final touchdown when NVilliams received a for- ward pass from Massengale and ran for a touchdown. Q On Thanksgiving Day Central beat Yeat- man by the score of 14-7. By defeating Yeatman, Central also tied with Cleveland for second place. At the start it looked as if Yeatman was going to walk away with the game. The first quarter was practically Yeatman's. On one occasion the North Siders had the hall on Central 's twenty-five yard line, but a fumble by one of Yeat- man 's backs checked further attempt for a touchdown. VVhen Yeatman again re- covered the ball it lost little time in starting a drive which netted its only touchdown. Bill Owen, XVCELT-111211178 big half-back, circled Central's end for ten yards and a touch- down. Central came back strong ill the next quarter. Several times Coach NValker's athletes threatened to score by trick plays and successful forward passes. A pass from Kittlaus to Erwin Fisher placed the ball on Yeatmanis fifteen-yard line, where Yeat- man held for downs. On the next play, Cianciolagattempted to punt, but Kittlaus tore through Yeat1nan's line, blocking the punt and recovering the ball behind Yeat- lll21l1,S goal line. Play was fairly even in the third quarter, with both teams doing considerable punting. In this quarter Er- win Fisher, Central 's tricky quarterback, pulled off a spectacular run, and, aided with splendid interference from Hcbberger and Kessler, ran for forty-five yards and a touchdown, thus breaking tl1e 7-7 tie. The fourth quarter started with both teams battling hard. Central held Yeatman on its own eight-yard line, while Kittlaus punted to safety. Ketcher recovered a fumble from Busehart- and, with the ball in Central's possession, they started a parade down 'the field, which ended on Yeatman's fifteen yard line. Here Kessler attempted at drop kick, but tailed. The game ended at few minutes' later, with Central in the lead.

Training was started in the middle of November, which is about three months earlier than usual, owing to the fact that Coach Marriott is enthusiastic about turning out a good team for Central. - The team is unusually fortunate this year in a number of. ways. To begin with, it will have the service of Coach Marriott, who was unable to coach last year due to the fact that he had to devote his time in the afternoon to teaching certain classes, This meant that Captain John Mathews had to Spend his spare time training the candidates u l1o longed for a position on the team. Another fortunate circumstance is the obtaining of suits and shoes, which were badly needed. Now that this material has arrived, a marked increase has been noted in the number of the candidates, there now being about eighty. The last of these for- tunate circumstanees is the returning of eight letter men. These are Roy Simon, Harry Abrams, Richard Sandol, Samuel Liet, Alvin Margulis, Harlow Braznell, Ben Tefkin, and Russell Vlfilliams. And now comes a tale of woe, for al- though we have a number of letter men back we have lost the services of seven letter men, who are: Captain John Mat- hews, Albert Kissling, Vllaldo Brown, Frank Mathews, Tom Jolley, Herman Kornblet, and John Harvey, all of whom will be sadly missed. In tl1e lnterscholastic meet Wzlltlo Brown Won a spectacular race in the 440, showing his supremacy over Ollie lVillia.ms of Sol- dan, who was his nearest opponent. Al- though it was a close race all the way., Brown was in the lead from beginning to end. Central also captured fourth place in this race through 'the ettorts of Frank Mathews. Albert Kissling starred for Central in the mile, finishing a close third in a race in which the record was lowered. The senior relay team gained a place by finishing fourth in a close race. This team was composed of John Mathews, Herman Kornblet, Tom Jolley, and Russell lVil- liams. The Junior relay team also iinished fourth. lt was composed of Roy Simon, Ralston Ramsey, Richard Sansdol, and Ben Tefkin. ln the Junior 440, fourth place was cap- tured by Alvin Margulis, who showed a great burst of speed near the end. In the Junior 120 yard low hurdles, Central showed a lad who gives great prom- ise of being a star in that event. This was Harlow Braznell, who was placed fourth. Harry Abrams also gained a place in the Junior 220, taking fourth. In the Midget events Central captured but one place, third, in the 50 yard low hurdles, and to Samuel Lief goes the honor of being Central's first Midget letter man. tContinued on page 931 Fifty-nine HOCKEY -L -1.l,...' --' '.

Among the races and events were the t'rawl Stroke, Side Stroke, Back Stroke, Relay Race, Endurance Race, Novice Race, Life Saving Event, and Diving. There were more contestants entered in the various events this year than ever before. Tickets are issued each week for the Y. W. C. A. pool, and the girls go there to practice swimming. ll-oekey is a very popular winter sport, and this year the girls were very success- ful in playing all the inter-class games before snow covered the field. After sev- eral weeks of practice, the inter-class con- tests took plaee between the teams which had been chosen. The captains ,of the teams were: S. Celeste Russell, T. Julia Duggan: 6.

Among them were three of the letter winners of last year, but as it was soon discovered that two of these were ineligible on account of scholastic difficul- ties, only one was left us, Rowland Riehl. The boys reporting were matched up for an elimination tournament and as fast as a boy was eliminated he was paired against some one else in order that the coach might determine the comparative strength of the whole group. lVet weather interfered so seriously with the matches that it was impossible to pick a team until the Saturday before the In- terscholastie Tournament began. Rowland R-iehl, Ted Bruere, and Clai- -L. Genevieve Fricdmang and il. lva Decker. The first match game was played between the Fives and Sixes, the Fives winning by a score of 4-34. The second game was between the Sevens and Eights, the Sevens winning with a seorc of 2-1. ln the third game, between the Threcs illltl Fours, the Threes won by a score of 1-0. The next game between the Fives and Sevens was a very interesting one and both teams played well. The score was 1-O in the Sevens' favor. The tinal game was between the Threes and Sevens. The Sevens won with a score of 6-tl, making them the champion hockey team of the school. The hikes this term were chosen from beautiful places surrounding St. Louis. A-bout two or three hundred girls went on each hike. TENNIS bourne Edmunds played in the singles, and Milton Smith anzl Clifford Rornemann played in the doubles. E ln the lnterscholastic 'l'ournament, which was held the week beginning Octo- ber 3, only one boy succeeded in winning a. match, Ted Bruerc. Many of the other matches were hotly contested, but the play- ers of the other schools proved the stronger and Central came out last in the race. Three of our team will return next fall and we are hoping that they and the nu- merous other boys interested in tennis will the summer and come back to school with much more experience and a firm determination to see that Central climbs out of the tennis cellar next year. be able to play a great deal during Si.rty-mn' GIRLS' ATHLETICS By Frances Simpson HE Central High girls are just as mueh interested in athletics as the boys. This term the girls have lieen busy with tennis, swimming, baseball, hoekey, and hiking. Eaeh term the numher of girls who enter into these aetivities inereases. Besides deriving benefit from these aetiv- ities, the girls who reeeive one thousand two hundred points win the loving eup, while the ehevrons a re given to the ones who earn one thousand points. Of course, all the girls work toward this goal. Celeste Russell, Jane Hixon, Virginia Myers, and Florence Sehade will win ehevrons, and some of these will he awarded loving-eups. The Tennis Tournament was the tirst event of this term, and took plaee in Sep- tember. The important game -of the season was played hetween -lane llixon and llelen Tiemann. The players were evenly matched and both deserve much credit for the playing. After an hard fought game Jane Hixon won, thus heeoming' school winner . Jane Ilixon and Celeste Russell won in doubles, this also being a line game. The new act-ivity of this term is girls' baseball. Only the girls ol' the first and seeond terms are eligible for the team. The girls ol the advaneed classes play hockey.

BLACK THE BOYS' LITERARY SOCIETY HE year 1869 is noted for the greatest achievement in the history of Central High School, namely the founding of the Boys' Literary Society. Since that mem- orable date, time has elapsed, pupils have come and gone, but still the Society stands doing ber best to send into the world up- right citizens. And nobly has she executed her task. Among the alumni of the Boys' Literary Society are many men of national and international rcpute, many members of the faculty of our Alma Mater, and num- berlcss honest. citizens who compose our commonwealth. Because of the value derived from this Society, we were not affected very much by the usual decrease in membership at. tl1e beginning of the term. Most of our mem- bers reported at the first meeting, and through their labor our roll was consider- ably lengthened. This year has been very successful under the leadership of our sponsor, Mr. Killam. and our oiificers, who are as follows: Floyd Clear ..... ...... l 'resident Christ Anastasotf .... . . .Vice-President lsadorc Cooper. . . ,.... Secretary Max Taber ................ Treasurer Jack Sophir ..... News Representative licnard Finger..Clhairman of Ex. Com. NVhile the main work this year has been eontincd to debating, our programs have been varied, consisting of monologues, dia- logues, and extemporancous speaking. Armistice Day was celebrated by a special program in accordance with a request. made by Mr. Douglass. The program was given in the auditorium before the entire school. XVe have been fortunate in having many distinguished speakers address the Society during the past term. As is appropriate, our principal, Mr. Douglass, spoke at the first meeting. His brief discussion of the value derived from membership' in this So- ciety was enjoyed by all present. A brief, informal talk by Hrs. Bush, vice-president of the Board of Education, was our privilege at a later meeting. The general trend of Mrs. Bush's speech was of the probable future of members of the Boys' Literary Society. On December 1, Mrs. Ludlum favored us with an interesting speech on Pronuneiaf tion, Enunciation, and Articulation. At the completion of hcr talk Mrs. Ludlum read a story entitled, 'tThe Second Trial. Everyone present expressed regret that time did not permit the reading of another story. ln acceptance of a challenge from the Assembly of McKinley High School a de- P bating team composed of Lenard Finger, Abe Gelfand, and Joe Silverman, with Abe NVoltf as alternate, was chosen to represent Central. NVc upheld the at'l'irmative of the question, Resolved, that as a matter of public policy, cities of the first class should own and operate the street railway sys- tems. A practice debate withour second team and one with a team representing the Girls, Literary Society were unanimously won by the Interscholastic Team. VVith every man on the team contidcnt of doing his best, and eight weeks of continuous work, coupled with the coaching of Mr. Killam and Mr. Hoffman backing our boys, Central gained a unanimous decision over McKinley. - i As a closing remark, in the words of Mr. Douglass, Other organizations have lived sf.t'fy-n-f'.- ND BA THE L f f'flf-- it 'E 3 9 'Q, ' it .

F. THE BAND HE band this term has shown a start- ling growth. Not only have our num- bers been increased and our repertoire of music doubled, but the quality of our play- ing has been immensely improved. From a. small number of simple pieces we have grown to a collection of music of whieh no school need be ashamed. Our participation in school atfairs has also increased considerably. XVe played at the pep sessions in the auditorium be- fore the McKinley and Yeatman games, our playing meeting witl1 approval on both occasions. Old Central has had the great- est amount of school spirit of any of the High Schools this ycarg a fact- which, to say the least, did not lower in any way our final standing. flfieaten only by Sol- dan.i At all games except the Cleveland game the band was present, missing the one occasion on account. of sickness of some of the members. At regular intervals through- out the games we played, marches predominating, but also playing such songs as the Loyal Song, .Hot Time, etc., i11 which the whole school joined. Our practice is held every Thursday aft- ernoon and we are, indeed, hard at it. lt is our belief that if any organization in the school has a future it surely is the band. It is hoped that very soon we may provide ourselves with uniforms, so that we may look as well as act our part. Mr. Kelbaugh, our sponsor, is an ideal leader, having had experience in college band work. To prospective members we say this: that a willingness to work is the most important requirement for admission. To the rest of the school we will always say that as a musical club of Central we are always ready to help the school in any way possible. We are excelled by none in our loyalty to our Alma Mater. G. E. G. THE PEPPER BOX HIS organization has made its intlu- ence felt in a number of ways this fall and winter, in spite of the fact that the Student Council and the Committee of Fourteen now perform certain functions that formerly were left to the Pepper Box. The biggest things which the Pepper Box did were the sale of the buttons for the football games and for basketball, the pur- chase of red and black bunting for the Thanksgiving game, and the furnishing of the cheer leaders. The profits from the sale of the red and black buttons, which played such an im- portant part in arousing interest in our league games, have gone into a fund which will be spent as need arises to make our athletic games more' interesting from the point of view of the spectators. Our cheer leaders this year are worthy of special mention. Lcd by Will Hoppe, whose powerful voice and assurance made him a first-class leader, and the two Georges-Bemarkt and Klehammer-the cheering of the loyal Central rooters was a great inspiration to the team. All three worked hard and intelligently at a job which is often a. rather thankless and always a difficult one.

The success of the play was due to the work of these two teachers, to the loyalty and conscientious support of our sponsor, Miss Bowen, and to the hearty eo-operation of the entire Society. The work this term has not only been instructive, but also interesting. The pro- grams have included public speaking, de- bating, story telling, book reviewing, and original stories, poems, and plays. The Program Committee consisted of Frances Ruth, Ellen Gelfer, Edith Giessow, and AND .'. BLACK Dorothy Swanson. During the entire term the committee were assisted in their se- lections of material lzy Miss Bowen.

Bernice Mueller, Velva Boggs, Mamie Bleek, and Mollie lNeintraub, alternate, represented the Girlsl Society. Although the decision of the judges was in favor of the affirmative, the girls presented their side of the question in a very creditable manner. Miss Mott must be thanked for the careful .training which she gave the team, and the members of the Society wish to assure her of their gratitude. V. B. B. TI-IE COMMERCIAL CLUB OST of last term 's members were ad- vanced students and the Commercial Club lost heavily through their graduation in June. At the tirst meeting this term there were only a dozen IIIGIIIIJGPS present, so this meeting was given over to theor- ganization of a membership campaign. This campaign proved such a. success that the roll book now has a. list of thirtyftive names.

Mr. Pratt had a very important part in the formation of the organization, and has been a constant inspiration to its members ever since. The Club extends to him its sincere thanks for helping us to overcome many obstacles. The programs for the term have been varied, ranging from talks on economic problems and general business efficiency to humorous selections and impromptu de- bates. lt is felt that these programs have well fuliilled the purposes of the Club. Their success has been due in a large meas- ure to the untiring efforts of the Program Committee, of which Adele Meyer is chair- man, and to the patience and loyalty of our capable sponsors, Miss Ewing and Miss Kampmann. q The first social function of the Club was a Thanksgiving luncheon in the Girls' Lunchroom after school on Friday, Novem- ber 25. The tables were artistically dec- orated with Thanksgiving colors and the attractive place cards' and menu cards were also suggestive of the holiday spirit. Before the luncheon was served, Miss Frances Simpson entertained those pres- ent with a humorous reading, which was delivered in Miss Simpson's best style. After the delicious lunch served by Miss Slatery, our guests, Miss Matthews, Mr. Douglass, and Mr. Pratt favored the Club with short talks which they concluded with jokes and amusing stories. Then came the games which Frances Simpson, Tessie OX- stein, Thelma Smith, and Rose Lisker, members of the Entertainment Commit- tee, had carefully arranged. The entire affair was a complete success, and it is hoped that future social ventures of the Club will prove as delightful.

B. B. CLASSICAL CLUB N December a Classical Club was or- ganized by the Latin and Greek Stu- dents of Central, under the sponsorship of Miss Heltzell. The purpose of this new club is to stimulate interest in the study of the classics in two main ways, namely, by interesting those who have not studied either Latin or Greek, and also by en- couraging those who have completed their two years of either language to go on. The qualification for membership is three terms of Latin, or at least one year of Greek. At the meeting held on Tuesday, December 13, 1921, an election ot' officers was held, Dorothea Glauser being made president of the new organizationg lllarian Epstein, vice-president, John Bergman, secretary, and Robert Aronson, treasurer. The members of the Classical Club have decided to take up the study of the Life of the Greeks and Romans as their first subject. H, H, Seventy-one COMMERCIAL CLUB Af ,.- ,,. - ' e -A,lfN 151 . ..

' THE RED LA CASTILLA OR almost a year 'tlia Castilla , better known by the school as The Spanish Club , has continued to thrive under the excellent sponsorship ot Mr. Bays, and in the present term under the following of- tieers: President ,,,,,,.,.,,. .,.,,.i C arrie Stone Vice-President ...,.. ..,... B loses Navarro Secretary .,,,,,.,. ,.,,. l florence Traill Treasurci '.... .,,,.....,...,.,,..,., C ilu'-ster Sableman News Representative ............ Anna. Sibalsky The object of La Castilla, is to enable its members to write and converse in Spanish fluentlyg to study Spanish customs, art, literature and liistoryg and to increase the Ameriean's understanding ot his Latin- American neighbors. In the educational and amusing programs presented by the Club, the members feel that they are at- taining this objeet. There have been illus- trated talks on the manners and customs of the Spanish peopleg poems, songs, games and dialogues, many of them original. But since all work-even though it be very pleasant work-is not broadening, La Castilla has not neglected its social affairs. A few days before the Christmas holidays the Club held a f'Fiesta in the girls' gym in true Spanish style, intermingled, of course, with American dancing. There were games and amusements of various the official lan- Spanish, it was one occasion to kinds, and even though guage of La Castilla is necessary on more than side-step this rule, due to the fact that it' is at times rather difficult to express one's opinion in anything but English. How- AND .'. BLACK ever, this did not remove the tinge of 'old Spain from the Fiesta , and taken as a whole it was truly a unique affair. The Club is planning for the future and intendsto carry on its career in an entirely original fashion. Its meeting place will be fitted up as a real HCastilla , with litera- ture and comforts tor los Castellanos fthe membersi, who will be welcome al- ways and encouraged in their study. ot Spanish culture and social pursuits. A. S. THE DULCIMER CLUB HE first meeting of the Dulcimer Club, held at the beginning of the term, was, as usual, one of interest, excitement and pleasure. The girls assembled once more under the sponsorship ot Mr. Davis and elected the following officers for the term: Mary-Violette Spooner ...... President Ida Mae Rasch. . . . . .Vice-President Margaret Isler . . . ..... Secretary Corinne Ballard ...... . . . Treasurer Margaret G1'0SSQIlliflCllBl' .... Librarian Vtfe then decided to hold our meetings on VVednesday afternoons in the audi- torium. A VVe practiced quite faithfully and tin- ally we were given our first try-out, of the term when we were asked to sing at the Armistice Day Program. Solvejgs' Song was deemed appropriate for thatloc- casion.: Immediately after this we set to work on selections from which we might make our choice for the graduation exercises. Our second public appearance was made at the presentation of the Michigan Uni- versity Basket. Ball Cup, at which we sang Sczfcnfy-t1u'er 4 .1 E I '2 U 4 .J i Q f'flT- is . . i 'e e n .LA ,f ,- .4 4 A' ' G an, ,,,qn ' A 3 .J , .. ,vm r A ,vw-2k'm'.1, , Y , HF- ,Q .

To our pianist, Josita Schumacher, much credit is due. She was always present to give us the right note when, being so en- grossed in our own singing, we would occa- sionally run off on a. false one. Our social occasions have been many and varied this season. Our iirst activity was in the form of a. hike, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all out-door-loving girls. Our second was a spread, which happened to be the first one given by the Dulcimer girls for years. lt was a great success, due, for the most part, to the kindly aid of Miss Slatery. ' Then a party and dance was given at the home of our president, Miss Spooner, and we are now looking for- ward to our week-end at the Y. W. C. A. Camp, and lo a New Year 's Party. Vile are losing only three members this graduation: Bernice Stebcr, Drilla. Du Vall, and our President, Mary-Violette Spooner, all of whom will be missed next term. Altogether, we feel that this term has been a successful one for the Dulcimer Club, and also a term of pleasant society and work. C. G. THE MANDOLIN CLUB HE Mandolin Club has just passed through another term of school history in a very satisfactory manner. At- the outset we were faced by a very great prob- lem. Our beloved sponsor, Miss Randall, against the unanimous wish of the Club, found it necessary to resign, so that-we were confronted with the problem of find- ing someone to take her place. Miss Ran- AND BLACK dall had been connected with the Club for the past tive years, bringing it from its infancy to the high pedestal on which it now stands. She labored long and faith- fully to achieve this, at what sacrifice to her time and pleasures we do not know. That we might convey in some small way our feeling in this matter, we presented her with a loving cup at our farewell ban- quet. The task of choosing another leader was a hard one, but in Mr: Dee we are more than satisfied. Mr. Dee has already shown a worthy spirit and initiative and we have naught but praise to offer him. Our music will still be of the same quality as under the competent leadership of Miss Randall, largely popular, but not neglect- ing tl1e classical. Our first appearance before the school was in the pep session before the Soldan football game. Judging by our reception we seemed to have regained some of our former skill after a summer of idleness in work of this kind. Our next appearance was at the Luecock Lodge, followed shortly by the Father and Sons' banquet at the First Presbyterian Church and the Com- mercial Teachers' banquet. in the lunch- room. Our playing was greeted with ap- proval on all these occasions. We next played on the night of our victorious de- bate at McKinley High School, and then at the Athletic banquet at the American An- nex Hotel. Our membership list now numbers four- teen, including the new members, Johnson, Gaffney, Greene, Hamilton, and Schwart- zel. We shall lose four of our members this term by graduation-Braznell, Greene, Swanson, and Dean.

THE CO-C-HI AND NIFTY FIFTY HE aims of the Co-C-Hi and Nifty Fifty are to create the proper helpful spirit among the students and to provide a competent corps of ready assistants for all occasions. Before these organizations were formed it was very difficult to get boys or girls ready on the spur of the moment to help at an entertainment, but now the members of these organizations are always on hand to assist whenever their services are required. Neither eluh has had many opportuni- ties to he of mueh assistance this term. The factthat no night entertainments have been given has greatly reduced their work. On the thirteenth of Decefnlmer a number of ladies from the 'l'uhcrculosis Aid So- ciety came to the school to sell Red Cross Xmas Seals and Buttons. The girls of the Co-C-Hi made very effective saleswoinen and the boys served as messengers to get the ladies whatever they needed. Although the returns this year were somewhat smaller than in previous years the manner in which the sale was conducted was more efficient than ever before. The boys of the Nitty Fifty also helped in the Xmas entertainment by carrying the Xmas Boxes to the trucks to be de- livered to the orphans of the city. Credit for keeping the two societies at the high standard which they maintain is due in large measure to our able Sponsor, and to support of the following Miss Matthews, the enthusiastic officers : Co-C-Hi Virginia Myers ......... . . .President Clara Clodman. . . . .Vice-President Florence Nay. ..... ....

RED ' THE JUNIOR ENGINEERS HE Junior Engineers is a boys' organi- zation, and is devoted to the study of engineering problems of all kinds. The boys belong, for thc most part, to the manual training and scientitic departments and intend to follow some kind of engineer- ing profession as a lite vocation. The members of the organization have an op- portunity to see exactly what an engineer 's duties arc. Most boys believe that an engineer has only to oversee the production of articles, but he has, in fact, far more tha11 this to do. The architectural engineer draws plans, makes estimates of the cost, and solves the difficult problems that will have to be met, such as the size and kind of lumber that should be used, the kind of Sf011G that is best fitted to the job, and the amount of material needed. The builder takes these plans and goes to work. The work goes on speedily beause the architect has fore- seen all the difficulties and planned a. meth- od to surmount them. All that the builder has to do is to follow the instructions of the architect. Such is also the relation be- tween the engineer and the mechanic. The engineer draws the plans and solves the problems for the bridges, dams, engines. motors, automobiles and an infinite num- ber of things that are a. part ot the modern world. ln the course of our study we have visited a number of manufacturing plants en- gaged in the manufacture of different prod- ucts. Among them were an ice plant, a gas plant, a newspaper, a biscuit company, and an ice cream company. VVe also went through the sehool's plant. AND BLACK From time to time we have had short. articles by the members on engineering subjects. VVe have also had speakers with us who areprominent in engineering eireles. They have given interesting talks on their special line of engineering and have greatly encouraged us. We have spent this term in getting our organization cogs running smoothly, and we hope to accomplish great results in the future. - . C. S.
