BRYAN has recently rounded out fifty years of work in serving the Public Schools of St. Louis. His work has been of great importance: that of helping to operate the educational system for the children of St. Louis. Mr. Bryan has won our admira- tion by the fact of his remaining so long at his post, still showing his heels to fifty years of time, and still using his fertile brain for the benefit of the children of this city. There are few men who direct the energies of an entire lifetime toward a single unselfish goal. There are fewer still who, with that noble purpose, are able to withstand the ravages of time and the difficulties of life without failing in their purpose at one place or another. Mr. Bryan has been a man who has been able to do these things without failureg and in him we.find probably the greatest asset that the Board of Education has ever had. During his distinguished service his duties have been well performed and it is with sincerest praise that we say of him: A producer and benefactor of one of the finest school systems in the world. Many have been the receptions and congratulations that Mr. Bryan has re- ceived in celebration of his half century of work, but not one of these is able to present the really deep gratitude and sin- cere admiration that is held for him by all. Central students, perhaps, owe him a greater debt of gratitude than do any others of the city, for he has had the in- terests of Central at heart for many years. He served in the capacity of a teacher for thirteen years at Central, later becom- ing Vice Principal and Principal. Follow- ing lVIr. Soldan's death, he was appointed Assistant Superintendent, in charge of high schools, which office he holds today: and consequently we lost him to a work of broader scope. ln doing this work he serves as the connecting unit between the high schools and the Superintendent of Education. It is with greatest pleasure that we see Mr. Bryan begin his fifty-first year, and it is our earnest hope that he may complete many more years of service. s,,, IN MEMORIAM 'WE MOURN the loss of one of the Finest sons of Central, MR. HOWARD G. COLWELL, an alumnus and former teacher of this school. I-lis death comes as a deep sorrow to all who knew him. Although students now in Central did not know Mr. Colwell, we have been deeply impressed by the loving and high regard in which he is held by teachers who knew him and worked with him. From l902 to l9l5 he served as a teacher of Greek in Central l-ligh School. ln 1915 he was appointed assistant principal, in which office he served until his ill health forced him to move to a different climate.

We I, were trudging resignedly to Latin V when ecstatic exclamations per- meated our preoccupied consciousness. Ch, .ain't he cuteli' H 'Gentlemen and thrice honored ladies'-she had a won- derful voice! It was swell! The constant reiteration of these and similar expressions aroused our curiosity. What phenomenon had occurred that could excitesuch admiration? Suddenly we remembered. On the afternoon of Dec. l3, our illustrious seniors had pre- sented the class plays to an audience of fellow students. And so impressed were these less learned beings by the histrionic ability of their sagacious supe- riors that the following day they could speak of little else Can ill-omen for report cardsl. Thus it chanced that, forewarned by eloquent assertions, we were prepared to view, on the memorable evening of Dec. l4, the results of Miss Watson's admir- able direction. lnthe first playlet, The Fan and Two Candlesticks, Natalie George as Nancy was a very charming coquette. There- fore we were somewhat puzzled when Charles Ambler, Hugh, who had rather impressed us with his sincerity until his exit with the heroine, should have stalked off the stage indifferent of the prize which his arm encircled. Sigmund Tlzrirty-four Lippman as 'iRalph was pleasing except in a few instances when his voice lacked sincerity. The Pot o' Broth was concocted by Wm. B. Yeates, a dramatist, not a culi- nary genius. It is a clever playlet per- vaded with humor. Alfred Fleishman as the Tramp was excellentg the ease with which he flattered his hostess con- vinced us that Alfred has, at some period inhis existence, kissed the Blarney-stone. The characters of Sibby Coneelyn and John Coneelyn were ably portrayed by Ruth Koch and Norman Hutchens. The latter's submissive attitude toward his dominant spouse reminded us of a certain, famous gentleman, Jiggs, who resides in the comic section of one of the news- papers. The Knave of Hearts, the third play- let, afforded opportunities for our seniors to display their versatility. Leo Kretch- mar was a very entertaining and majestic King Loretta Nix as the vivacious Vee-oletta had such a delightful per- sonality that she captivated the hearts of both the audience and Pompdibele VIII. William Hollander, the Knave, although somewhat unimpressive, was at times quite satisfactory. The Chancel- lor, Sol Gleser, proved to be highly diverting. Lillie Mathless, the Mana- ger, was very interesting. ln short, the performance of the entire cast was praise- worthy. 'f 5: . -U 1. v V, M .E ' ' . f ' If - ' If!

Many years ago Jordan Locke had come from the West, and with the money he had made there, had built the large house on the top of the hill. I-le had mar- ried the daughter of one of Barkerville's best families and made the town his permanent a b o d e. He had been appar- e n t l y very happy with his growing family for twenty years, when trouble, hitherto little known to him, came on h i m suddenly and when least expected.

Yes, yes-just put it here. l'll eat a little something after a bit. Then as Fanny withdrew with a pitying glance in his direction, he would continue to sit with his head slightly bowed, ab- sently turning the leaves of a book and seeing nothing on the printed pages.

One by one his chil- dren left for homes of their own until all who were left were his daughter Fanny and himself. For a while they lived alone in the big, gloomy old house. Then Colonel Locke made an unwise investment and lost near- ly everything except the old house on the hill. From that time his health steadily declined. Fanny Locke took in sewing while her father, bent and broken from the burden of trouble and grief he was carrying, took long solitary rambles through the town and out into the coun- try. l-lis eyes had a queer light in them as if he could not fully comprehend all that had happened. You felt, as he looked at you, that he did not see you, but was looking at something through and beyond. The children of the town stood in awe and not a little fear of the Old Colonel and ran as fast as their legs would carry them from his fierce but meaningless stare. This could not go on for long, however, as the old man's physical and mental con- dition was growing worse. Then one day, when he was seeming to regain his normal condition, he died. That there was some- thing mysterious in his death most of the village people were certain. I-le died in the nightg but the next morning when he was examined, they could find nothing that would explain his sudden death as his heart had been exceptionally good for a man of his years, and besides he had been on the road to recovery. After it was all over, Miss Locke moved Thirty-eight AND BLACK to another part of town, leaving every- thing in the house as it was, for she could not bear to move or yet sell the things which brought her such poignant memo- ries of happier days. And so the house had stood there for a number of years while Fanny Locke grew more gray and her eyesight more dim. The mystery of the death of the old Colonel had somehow been transferred to the house. And not Without reason, for the old place had a gloomy, murky at- mosphere about it always. Even on bright summer days when the rest of Barkerville lay bathed in sunshine the house stood there gaunt, gray, and forbidding against the bright August sky. On dull, dark au- tumn nights it was doubly terrifying. The wind moaned around the corners grue- somely and seemed to echo back faintly. Thus it earned the name of The l-louse of Whispering Echoes. The people in the village avoided the house as much as they could and when they occasionally had to pass by they un- consciously quickened their steps. Of late years the neglected house had taken on an even gloomier and murkier aspect. The old place stood there like some gaunt spectre gazing at the town from its height with hollow, morbid eyes. On winter nights it was usually avoided carefully, as then the shutters flapped back and forth dismally, and the groan- ing of the wind around the house grew more and more fearful. It was one of these nights that a vil- lager, John Marker, hurriedly passing the house, glanced involuntarily at the shut- ters flapping in the wind. It was then that Y. .. . .-. Q - I all M.

For a minute he stood and gazed, unable to moveg then the light disap- peared and in his terror and excitement he almost ran down the street. Of course, this flew around town rapid- ly and many believed it. Others, more skeptical, like Mr. Fisher, the hardware merchant, voiced their opinion about like this: , . , gn ' 'v-If Well, I don't believe a word of it. lt's impossible! The idee of seein' 'a light in there. We-ell, yes, it is a spooky lookin' place, but just the same it ain't true. lt's all John lVlarker's imagination. I-le's always seein' things nobody else does. But one by one others began to see AND ' BLACK the strange, flickering light that some- times appeared at one window, some- times at another. At last, either out of curiosity or sheer bravado, a few men got together and de- cided to investigate. They went up to the old house, con- cealed themselves, and waited, but noth- ing happened. They determined to try it again the next night, and again met with disappointment. The third night, how- ever, they were more fortunate. It was dark and dreary, disagreeable enough to keep most people in doors- but the investigators were not to be thwarted in their purpose by a little bad weather. Using the same care as hereto- fore, they entered and stationed them- selves in different rooms of the house. Long, weary hours gradually went by while each was startled a dozen or so times at various noises. It was a little before midnight when Joshua Horner, who had been dozing lightly, opened his eyes and sat up with a start. He was quite certain that he had heard a noise. Yes-there it was again! a creaking, whining noise. He looked about, but saw nothing. Then as he was about to reassure himself and resume his nap he perceived a flickering light out- side the doorway. A form shrouded in black, then glided slowly and noiselessly into the room holding a candle aloft. Joshua gazed, fascinatedg then as the figure moved toward one of the windows he slipped into the next room and beck- oned for one of the watchers to come. Together they entered the room on tiptoe and gazed for a minute at the ghost. Then at the signal arranged in case this Tlzirty-1zi1ze Q 1-1:55 ,gmc v if ' ttf We ...aff Mm.

What they had expected at this junc- ture I do not know, probably to see the ghost vanish or fly out the window. But the ghost did nothing of the sort. It trem- bled and then fell into a little heap on the floor. Joshua and his companion called and the other men came to their assistance. With the aid of a flashlight they found the ghost to be an old woman dressed in black with a heavy mourning veil over her head. She had only fainted and in a short time they had revived her. It was then they discovered that the woman was Fanny Locke. She was in no condition to give explanations then, AND BLACK but they learned afterward that she had fallen into the habit of coming secretly in the night to her old home where she had spent her happiest hours and where now she would gaze lovingly at the old familiar things associated with her youth. Not long after this discovery one of Miss I..ocke's brothers came back to the old home town and refurnished and re- decorated the old house on the hill. I-Iis family soon joined him and Miss Locke came to live in her old home again. And now the house no longer echoes with ghostly moans, but instead, rings with the youthful laughter and the merry makings of the Old Colonel's grandchil- dren. JUST A TALE By Hmzrieifa Colodvsrlz ORRORS! There was another soft footstep. As I drew the blanket over my head, I shivered. It was midnight, and the moonlight was stream- ing through my window. Just an hour before, we had been telling ghost stories around a blazing fire. These things had Hred my imagination. Again I heard a tread on the carpet. I plucked up enough courage to remove the blanket from my head. I was almost suffocating, and there at the foot of the bed, in the full gleam of the moon, I saw something white. I stifled my desire to scream. It was a hand-probably the long, bony hand of a ghost-and, as I pictured it, my heart beat more rapidly. I'1l wake up my sister, I thought. Turning towards her I shook her. No Forty response. Again I tried to rouse her, while the hand wiggled in gleeful antici- pation. She was inert. Frantically I shook her, pulled her, and pinched her, until she slowly got up, gave me one look, then prepared to turn over to sleep again. Wake up, I whispered. There's a ghost in here. At these words she lifted her head and sleepily echoed my words. A gho-o-st? Where? 'Therefis the hand, I replied point- ing to the foot of the bed where lay the white thing. I heard the footsteps of the ghost, I added, huskily. lVIy sister, who all this time had been gazing at the pale hand, turned over while she muttered, You're dreamingg that's your foot!

KETCHEIVI, DETECTIVE By Willif1111 Semsroft KETCHEIVI, his head held high, walked briskly down the street. . He smiled as he thought of his recent promotion, for he had just been made a plain-clothes man. Proudly he felt the star and gun the members in. Are you game to try it? Ketchem swallowed hardg his self- confidence was not his dominant charac- teristic, but he had to get started some- time, so, with a nod of his head, he sealed his fate. beneath his coat.

With cap was pitched at a de- termined angle, while its smoke curled lazily towards the ceiling. Though his appearance was to the contrary, Chief Burns was a man of speed and severity, and so with a wave of his hand, bidding U. Ketchem take a chair, he began: Ketchem, I have an important case. Guess it's rough to make you take it, but here it is. We have in this city a dope ring. Your job is to get 'em, and bring hung low and arms swinging wildly, he frightened the chil- dren to cover, while he bumped an occa- sional victim from his path. With as much concern as his feigned drunkenness would allow, he turned into the first sus- picious-looking place, Mickey lVlorgan's. Half stumblingly he descended the steps and entered, smashing a chair during the operation. With a silly effort, he finally reached a table and there settled himself, Forty-one J!

By this time he was alert to every move in the placeg yet, because of his successful entrance, not a suspicious eye was turned upon him. The place was typical. There was a foul and musty smell of tobacco and foodg sawdust was sprinkled promiscuous- ly, and cuspidors were not' to be seen. The room was poorly lighted by gas, Which, through its mantles, cast an eerie pallor over everything. U. Ketchem moved restlessly. So far, he thought, nothing had transpired which suggested dope. A moment later, however, his countenance showed intense interest. There, half stupidly making his way to- wards the counter, was a skeleton of a man, depressed and with sunken cheeks, each protruding and ugly bone a silent witness of his slavery to the drug of happy dreams. The cheekbones were especially prominent, the skin being their only cov- ering. The man's eyes were dim and partially closed, while his long and gaunt fingers twitched continuously. ln one hand he held a sum of money. Quickly the waiter brought forth a small tin box. For a bit, U. Ketchem thought his heart would jump out of his mouth as he strained forward to catch a glimpse of the label on the box. But it was in Vaing in a twinkling the addict had received a bit of powder from the boxg the box had been replaced, the money taken, and the waiter had gone again to his business of satisfying the hungry, From this U. Ketchem knew two things: first, that he must get that can in order to complete his web of evidenceg Forty-two AND BLACK second, that if he endeavored to follow the addict, who had retreated behind a partition, it would mean the end of the highly prized existence of U. Ketchem, Detective. With a grumble of disgust he smashed his cup and saucer, kicked a dog from beneath his feet, threw his money to the chef, and left the place, but not before he had heard a low groan and a fit of sneezing from behind the partition. U. Ketchem smiled complacently. Wasn't he some detective? I-le quickly retreated from the place, removed his disguise, and started for headquarters. This time U. Ketchem didn't stop to knock upon the chief's door, but burst in upon that person with the least ceremony. Say Chief, he ejaculated, 'il got 'em -got 'em like rats in a trap. He could hardly stand still. The chief looked upg doubtful, very doubtful was his eye. Why, ya only been gone three hours, whatta you mean -'got 'em' ? Listeng and thereupon Ullyses Ketchem related his experienceg but, he continued, it's all easy, save for that tin box that's got the 'snow' in it. We gotta have that or it's all off. See? The chief nodded his approval. Go back, he instructed, stick around a coupla days, get the hang of the joint, then sneak back and report. Easily, the detective followed the in- structions of his chief, and in three days was back with the required data. Here's a map of the place Chief, he explained: 'il think that hole-in-the-wall is the means of secret getaways. Ain't 745' TTT J' tm TW?

We'll clean 'em out this P. M. Guess about ten bells. Wanta help ? Say Chief, you know me. l know the place like a book. Can I drive the 'pat'? Sure, if you don't fergit the traffic stops, laughed the chief. The clock struck ten as Chief Burns and U. Ketchem, followed by twelve bluecoats, entered Mickey Morgan's Cave, Stop, stick 'em up and line up against the counter, every one of you, shouted Burns as he flourished his gun. Much to the chief's surprise everyone but 'Mickey Morgan immediately obeyed the order. Mickey, however, by crowding behind the group, had nearly made the hole-in- the-wall when the little tin box fell from his pocket. Ketchem, screamed Burns, 'Lafter him, and get that box. Ketchem sprang to grab him but Mickey, recovering the box, slipped through the hole and disappeared. The detective entered and was soon in pur- suit, as the hole turned out to be the entrance to a large hallway. Mickey was clever when it came to hide and seek and he immediately climbed one flight of stairs after another until he reached the roof, raced across it and then down the fire escape of another building. But Ketchem, who was not to be eluded, reached the ground in time to see Morgan turn the corner and head for the Hudson River wharves. Mickey had -1-v vw -'I 1 .M AND BLACK quite the advantage as he ran across the wharves and probably would have made his escape had it not been for his tripping over a loose board. U. Ketchem pounced upon him as an eagle does upon its prey, handcuffed him, and quickly led his man back to headquarters where he found the chief in a high state of anxiety. Took you long enough, was the chiefis greeting. Had to get him, returned Ketchem, not in the least abashedg and l sure did, he finished smiling. Pump 'em yet Chief? he continued. Nope, replied Burns, thought l'd wait for you. Well, go to it. Morgan, ordered Burns, step up close. Morgan, nursing a skinned face and a bruised shoulder, did as he was told, at the same time, however, trying to explain something. Say, lemme tell you some- thing: you-- Shut up, bellowed Burns, and an- swer my questions. The examination began, it was des- tined to be short. You'Ve got that 'snow' in your pock- et: hand it over, said Burns. Morgan's face lit upg he even began to chuckle as he slowly and deliberately pulled the little tin box from his pocket. By this time -he was in paroxysms of laughter while the other captives, herded close together, apparently became af- fected by the same mysterious source of amusement and began to grin slyly. l leyl thundered Burns, snap into itg what's ailin' ya?

RED AND BLACK U. Ketchem once again became impa- tient, drawn, tense, as he strained his eyes to get a glimpse of that box. Slowly, after a seeming eternity, it came forth and he was relieved to see that it was the same one, the only one that he was after. Morgan placed the little box on the desk. Now Chief, and you too, Ketchem, there's your 'snow.' The joke's on you, the only thing that is and ever was in that box is genuine old English snuff. At that, U. Ketchem turned from an expectant Hush to a ghastly pallorg Chief Burns' jaw dropped, his half-chewed cigar fell to the Hoor unheeded, its coals sputtering out in disgust and then dying. By this time the rest of the prisoners were in a hilarious uproar. Shut up, every bloomin' one of you, snapped Burns, not yet fully recovered, and now Morgan explain yourself. Well, Boss. ' Don't boss me, growled Burns. Well, Chief, ya see it was like this. When you and the cops stepped in here so suddin, I kinda thought somebody had double-crossed me, so l says to myself 'l better be makin' my exit.' As fer the snuff-well ya see Chief, it just works fine to fool my oldest brother when he thinks he needs his 'dope.' Sabe? The dickens! exclaimed Burns. Guess ya got your alibi pretty good. What street did ya say you were ong l've never hit your joint till tonight? Plump street, Chief, Plump street. Ketchem! burst out Burns as he rose to his feet, at the same time pounding his fist upon the table so that the whole room shook, what street did l tell you? Why, er-oh, awfully sorry Burns, l-I just remember nowg it wasn't Plump Street, it was Lump Street. Oh yes! my error.

At but, afterward--? Cold chills chased the end of that period she arose, made themselves up and down Uncle Reub's spine. It would be only a matter of time until Elmiry found it all out, if he had judged Hazel correctly. And then? Uncle Reub glanced apprehenisvely at his com- panion, the unconscious cause of this latest impending catastrophe. At last the show was over. There were several matters of business that Uncle Reub had intended attending to, on this trip to town, but he had no heart now, to do anything. He decided to go home. He went. But where had the effusive Hazel gone, when she left the theatre so suddenly? Where, indeed, but to the Tyler farm as fast as she could possibly get there. After half an hour spent in telling the news from at least twelve different phases, and en- larging upon it each time until she had poor Aunt Elmira hopelessly bewildered and scarcely knowing what to believe, she wound up with, And, dear Mrs. Tyler, l know you'll forgive my telling you this, and won't have any hard feelings against meg I felt it my duty to tell you. l know that if I were in your place and you in mine, l'd never forgive you if you didn't tell me! li- Of course, Hazel, l ain't got no hard feelin's agin you, said Aunt Elmira with dignity. But l'd like to be alone awhile to?-I, . Of course! Hazel understood, per- fectly. She glanced pityingly at Aunt Elmira. I must be going anyhow. And she went. After Hazel had gone Aunt her way firmly to the kitchen, and pre- pared to launch her first attack against Uncle Reub's defences. She worked hard and fast for another fifteen minutes, at the end of which time she had everything prepared. The Way to a man's heart is through his stummickf' she reflected, but they's several routes to his stummick. They's one way where you feed him a lot, and they's another-- She ruminated over this for a few minutesg then, They say 'Necessity is the mother of inventionf H she thought, and l guess l'll try it out. Further thoughts on this subject were sud- denly put an end to by the opening and closing of the front door, and she heard the sound of footsteps coming down the hallway. Uncle Reub had come home. As he entered the living room, one glance at Aunt Elmira served to tell him that all was known. He shivered slightly. uYou don't need to say one word, Reub, advised Aunt Elmira quietly. l know where you been today, so don't make excuses. But, Elmiry, you don't understand, protested Uncle Reub. You don't know-- A Yes, I do! Aunt Elmira was positive. She gazed steadily at uncle Reub, who blushed hotly, and lowered his glance to the floor. They ain't no fool like an ol' fool, quoted Aunt Elmira, slowly. And you ain't so young any more, Reuben-nearly Forty-nine ' 2 -..1ne4,,2'i5L pfiktsg I -L be if gg Af' i.

Ain't you ashamed of yourself? Uncle Reub winced. Now, Elmiry, listen to me, he began. All right! Hurry up, though! I ain't got no time to waste, frowned Aunt El- mira. Uncle Reub glanced nervously about the room. I guess Hazel told you she seen me at the show, he said. Yes. She-she saw some one with me? Yes. Who'd she say it was P This furtively from Uncle Reub. She didn't say! Aunt Elmira was determined not to help Uncle Reub out, in the least, in his confession of guilt. lt was a-a girl, confessed Uncle Reub. H-l-l-she- Yes, you took a young girl to the show, interposed Aunt Elmira, sweetly. Go on. Now Elmiry! Poor Uncle Reub was the picture of guilt and confusion. If he told who the girl was, he was in the frying- pan. If he did not, he was most assuredf ly in the fire. Should he tell? One look at Aunt Elmira's face decided him. He could stand a great deal, but-well! Elmiry, he said, that girl was P'hil's wife, and she ain't no cannibal neither! She-- Reub! Did you say 'Phil's wife?' Aunt Elmira's hands trembled, and she clasped them nervously togetherg her breath quickened. Do you mean to say you took Phil's wife to the show? Fifty AND BLACK.,. Yes, Elmiry, muttered Uncle Reub, miserably. You see, Louise wanted to see the show and Phil couldn't go with her, 'count of a bizness appointment, so he asked me to go and take her. You- you ain't mad, are you Elmiry? he asked timidly. lVlad! exclaimed Aunt Elmira. 'lVlad,' did you say, Reub? Well, l guess not! A great struggle had taken place within Aunt Elmira, between her pride and her heart. But her relief at Ending out that Uncle Reub's girl was none other than his daughter-in-law, gave the victory to her heart. All this had meant a great deal more to Aunt Elmira than any one would ever know: it had not been exactly a joy or a delight to re- frain from seeing Phil, either. lVlany times had she been on the verge of giving in, but something had always happened to change her mind again. Say, Reub, l--l-you- A great wave of happiness Hooded Aunt Elmira's face. Say, why didn't you take me to the show with you? l'd a liked to a seen itg you needn' have been so selfish, you an' Louise. Uncle Reub did not attempt to try to understand this new development. It had been a hard day for him, all around. He knew that a miracle had happened, that was all. His mind was no longer bur- dened with weighty troubles: he was hungry. 'ils supper ready, Elmiry? he asked patiently. Supper? At mention of supper, Aunt Elmira suddenly remembered the lesson she had in store for Uncle ,Reub. if-:Qi M :ff . fl-iff. 'I' A 'Trai-1+ . -- '-:A , fr: 4 pw ' lr lg ','.,,' X. , ' .1 .

Say, Reubf' she said, When Hazel told me about-about the show, I thought you'd need to be punished, so I-I-well, go in the kitchen, and see what I done! l'm ashamed of myself, so I am! Uncle Reub obecliently entered the kitchen. I-Iis eyes fastened themselves upon the table, he looked first in dis- belief, and then in astonishment, at the sight before his eyes. For there on the table was spread Uncle Reub's cold supper. And it was cold, indeed, in fact, it had never been hot. The bacon was neatly sliced upon the platter, but it was raw. The peas, which would have been creamed, had they been allowed to be, were Hooded in a sea of cold milk with bobs of hard butter floating upon the surface. There were raw potatoes, and unbaked biscuitsg coffee, transparent as weak tea, that had never been heated: and last a pie, not baked, of course, but neatly cut into quarters, ready to be served. There wasn't no wood, explained Aunt Elmira, and you said to git a cold supper so-well, Reub, I guess I shoulcln't a done it, but-- -F BLACK You was right, interrupted Uncle Reub briskly. I'll hurry right out now, and we'll have a fire in a jiffyf' Which was no sooner said than done. That evening, as Uncle Reub and Aunt Elmira sat in the living room, Aunt El- mira said: HNOW, Reub, tell me all about Louise. Tell me everything. I'll have to go to town, tomorry, to see her and bring her and Phil out here. My, but I want to see that boy! she exclaimed. Uncle Reub smiled happily. And Reubf' added Aunt Elmira, I sure am glad it was Phil's wife you wuz with! Now, now, Elmiry! scolded Uncle Reub, You oughtn't to think I'd 'be with any one elseg not when I have you, he added fondly. Aunt Elmiry blushed rosy-pink. Then her expression changed, her eyes snapped fire. I don't like that Hazel Moore, she said distastefully. She's allus upto some myschief. I'm glad -Phil clidn't'- merry her!

Silcott HE International Air Races held in this city October 3, 4, 5, I923, were highly successful. Not only were several records for speed broken, but no serious injuries were sustained by any who took part. Besides races be- tween different types of planes, there was dare-devil stunt flying that fairly took the breath away. There were also parachute races which were very interesting. Planes of great interest visited the city while the races were in progress. Among these was the Barling Bomber, the largest of its kind in the world. The lVlcReady plane was exhibited, in which Lieutenant lVIcReady made his famous non-stop flight from coast to coast in twenty-six hours. The smallest type of monoplane in the world was also on exhibition, and looked like a pigmy beside the bomber. The ZRI, the longest non-rigible ship in the world, visited Saint Louis on the day be- fore the races, and was seen several times from windows of Centlil High School. During the meet over fourteen hundred Boy Scouts helped take care of the vast crowds which flocked to see the races. Of this number some dozen boys, Eagle Scouts of this city, became aids to the va- rious dignitaries and officers of the United States, and officers of other nations as well, who were guests of our government. We boys counted this a great privilege and honor, especially as we were fortunate enough to get four passes, which permit- ted us to enter parts of the field from which others were excluded. In this man- ner we were able-to inspect the planes at close range and get some very interesting pictures. The lVlcReady plane was the first of in- terest that we were able to visit, which with its one wing looked very clumsy from a distance, but when we came real close it looked more like a limousine. The car had one long leather-covered seat, with plenty of pillows, and the windows were curtained and had draperies over them. Three passengers could ride with ease, while five would not overcrowd the car. The plane could be controlled from here, but the pilot controlled it from a cockpit on top of the plane. The Barling Bomber was the second ship we visited, and was the most interesting plane at the meet. It was a huge tri-plane weighing some twelve thousand pounds, and car- rying six huge liberty motors, which will enable it to travel at a speed of from sixty to seventy-five miles per hour. It is built to carry two one-ton bombs and many smaller ones. For protection it car- ries high-powered machine guns, which can command every quarter of the air. It is a formidable-looking ship, and with its pilot windows, which give it the appear- ance of a 'grinning face, is apt to remind one of some terrible prehistoric monster of the air. . Beside the giant battle-cruiser, which dwarfed it into insignificance, stood a small scout plane with a wing barely twelve feet long. It was classed as one of the smallest in the world, and so light that on the first day of the meet, when the Bar- fcontinued on Page l 74D Fifty-zfhree I- - 7. E. wif- kk.. .fi il., 'ELF' . I ..

J O MARY MAE came, as it has come to each of us, that dreadful day when her English teacher suddenly announced that Platform would be called for Con such and such a dayl, com- prising so many lines to be recited without hesitation. The biography of the poet also should be handed in at the beginning of the period on that day. Mary Mae took the blow calmly, as one would expect of a sixth-termer. She lis- tened to the announcement and received her particular assignment from Shelley without betraying her agony other than by continual swallowing and blinking of the eyes. When the teacher wasn't look- ing she shot an eloquent look in the di- rection of Raymond and of Molly, each of Whom indicated sympathetic under- standing by significant glances. After that period was over, Mary Mae rushed to the library to get a copy of She!ley's poems. She accidentally met Raymond on her way out. As they walked down the hall, he deplored his bad luck and she meditated on the evil hour that induced her to enter high school. They became quite close friends by the time they had reached the end of the corridor. She promised to buy a football ticket from him if she recited her poem without a mistake, and he gave her a Rooter's Button for nothing, which sealed their friendship. When she reached home, later in the afternoon, she went straight to her room and removed her hat and sweater. Then, getting out her surplus supply of notebook Fifty-four paper and some ink, she made herself comfortable and began copying her poem. She had not gotten past the title when a sudden inspiration made her jump up and lock the door. Then she settled back among her cushions and started in again 'ATO a Skylark, she murmured as her pen scratched on. M-m-m. A long interval of scratching. Pourest thy fool heart-Oh, listen to me saying 'fool' heart instead of 'full' heart. Hysterica! laughter. Oh heavens, I must sober up. Some more scratching, which ended in Mary Mae's throwing herself across the bed and giving way to a fit of hysterical laughter. She lay still a minute and then sprang up with a fierce fire in her eyes. To the work! To the work! There is labor for all, and once again she resumed her task. Scratch! Scratch! Then silence. Mary Mae's mind was busy. Scratch! She was on the last line now. Scratch! Hooray, Hurrah, !'ve finished, I've finished! Oh! Was that'the echo of her own voice that she heard? She hasti- ly unlocked the door and looked out. There was no one in sight. The little dickenslu she exclaimed. That is, if it wasn't my imagination. Mary Mae now valiantiy began to try to learn her poem. 'Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! -What was that? From the keyhole seemed to come a smothered voice that whispered mockingly, Hail, hail, the gang's all-. Mary Mae rushed to the door and jerked .1 .v - c-.inn -- f ::-. ts. 1-'- ff f ff? -, iw: ' . ,.., ,cf 5. wif: ,sa .

There was a hasty scrambling in the outer hall and then silence. Mary Mae slammed the door shut and sat down behind it, waiting, with her ear near the keyhole. Well, l might just as well learn my poem while !'m waiting, she decided. H!-lail to thee! blithe Spirit! Bird thou never Wert That from heaven, or near it, Pourest thy fool- Good grief! there I went again! l hope I do11't say that when l have to recite. Now! Higher still and higher From the earth thou springestg Like a cloud of fire,- Like a cloud of fire-fire- Mary Mae came to a pause, but she was suddenly startled by hearing the loud, hoarse cry of Fire, fire! She turned the knob and flung open the door. Down the hall dashed the culprit, an eleven-year-old boy, Mary Mae's kid brother, shouting Fire! fire! Mary Mae sprinted after him, but you know nobody can catch a younger broth- er, and our heroine was no exception to the rule. She returned, angry and Hust- ered, but by no means satisfied, to her room. She closed the door and leaned up against it with her hand on the knob, ready for the next emergency. I'll get him for sure, next time, she declared. ln the meanwhile- The deep blue thou wingest, And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singestf' She paused because she thought she heard a sneaking footfa!! near the door. Thats him all right, she said, rather un- grammatically for a six who had just emerged from a deluge of Burke's Speech. Mary Mae decided to wait until her mis- chievous brother made an outcry before Hnabbingu him, so she continued her oral exercise in order to trap him by not let- ting him know that she knew he was there. The pale purple even, Melts around thy flightgn Oh, does it? came that teasing voice. Does it even melt around your flight? Ah! that it might melt around my Higl-rt! Mary Mae giggled and her fingers itched toward the doorknob but she con- trolled herself and continued: Lil-ze a Star of heaven ln the broad daylight,- Oh, can you see stars in the broad daylight? I-low quee-ah. Thou art unseen, but yet l hear- Then Mary Mae jerked that door open and chased down the hall as fast as her legs could carry her, but yet she missed that brother of hers by a few inches. She stood on the porch and dared the taunt- ing boy to come within arm's length. But you know and I know that a brother won't take a dare like that. So once again the baffled girl returned to her room. But this time she locked the door and flung herself across the bed. deter'- mined not to let a shrimp of a kid brother prevent her from learning her poem. Mary Mae studied hard for the next five minutes and actually conquered six stanzas in that time. Finally, she began to recite again.

They had all been nicknamed at various times in their lives it seemed, so it finally became clear that, out of six, I was the one who, thanks to a resolute mother, had never been known by any but my Christian name. You've never had a nickname, Irene? I-low did that happen? It seemed im- possible to Shorty. Why I've been called Bobbie, Chubby, Pat and oh! just scads of them. Me, too, Duff agreed. Maybe not quite scads, but anyhow more than I can remember. It isn't my fault, I answered. Mother said: 'Call her Irene.' And everyone did, still does, for that matter. So I notice. But, listen, you must have a nickname now. We each have one and we just simply can't leave you out in the cold! Then as a happy thought struck her Cwithout serious injuryl Fritz added, I have it -this quite solemnly- I now dub you 'Peggyf H 'Peggyl' Of course! Why didn't we think of it sooner? It's just the name for you! they all exclaimed. I was delighted. From Irene to Peggy is a big jump and I never have seen quite the connection between the two, but I felt that I was being flattered as visions of my ideal Peggy passed in quick succession before my mental eye. Peggy! Black- haired, red-Iipped, laughing-eyed-she captured every heart. Peggy-gay, care- free, teasing, adorable-oh, Peggy! So, until sleep conquered our rebellious tongues, I was Peggied to my heart's content. At school it was soon forgotten that I had ever had another name, at home Mother was still obdurate. Then one day about two weeks later Trinka stopped in the corridor and said, 'iOh, Peg, f'Peg'- you'd think I was a hookl Martha asked me to tell you that she can't play tennis with you tonight. Martha? Martha who ? I inquired, raking my memory for a Martha who played tennis with me. Martha Elliot. I'll see you at noon, Peggy, I'm late. All right. I stared at the unresponsive wall. Mar- tha Elliot. I didn't know anyone who answered to that title. Who could she be to say she couldn't play tennis with me when I didn't even know her. I was quite puzzled. During lunch period I told Trinka that I knew no Martha Elliot. Trinka was just as perplexed as I and decided to see the girl as soon as pos- sible. After school Trinka condescended to impart to us what she had found out about Martha. She spoke to us, 'walking up and down between the lockers with a curious Fifty-seven V .sa retval 2 3 lm.

THE 'RED wriggled under itg then despairingly l asked her the same thing. You, too? Unhuh. I counted the girls again and my irrita- tion grew. nThere are eleven girls here and four of us are Peggiesg now what do you think of that? I spoke almost angrily. They stared around at each other incredulously as they verified my count, so l continued scathingly, I think it's time for at least one of the four to move on. Good-bye. One would think from these incidents that l would have been disgusted with the nickname and have given it up, but somehow there was a glamour about it still. - Two days later when Jinnie and I were standing just outside of the office talking, Fritz came running up, incidentally almost bowling me over, calling breathlessly, Pessy! lmmediately I knew there was some- thing amiss, for Fritz runs on special occa- sion, only. What's the matter? l questioned. Got my pictures with you now? she pantecl. What pictures? Those snaps we took on the truck picnic. Have you got 'em now? Why, no, I didn't know they'd been developed yet. Did they all turn out good? Fritz thought I was joking and began to get angry. Come on, Peg, I want my pictures. Shorty said she gave them to you the third period today. AND BLACK I haven't seen Shorty since 4:30 yes- terday after schoolf' But Peggy, l'm in a hurry and-- Hl-lonest, Fritz, I havent'-l had a bitter inspiration- I know, she said she gave them to 'Peggyf didn't she? Yes, but l don't see what-- '. just go back and ask her what Peggy she meant. Now do you see? i'Of course. Fritz grinned. How ab- solutely dumbln She scampered away in search of Shorty. Then, after English, one morning, I was walking down the hall with,Jack Deane. l-le had been right tackle on our champion football team, and was quite sought after. The conversation ceased and a curious pause ensued. Then-- Say, Peggy, what are you doing to- night? He blurted it out. Why, I hadn't made any plans as yet, l answered. Will you go to the show with me? I examined my gold compact minutely as though it were new, although l'd seen it every day for three months and needed another one badly. Yes, Jack, l'll go. Goodl He laughed relievedly. l'll be at your home at eighty or is that too late? No, eight's fine. But don't be late, I warned with a parting smile. Indeed not. If anything, I'll be early. See you tonight, Peggy. All right. l imparted the news to ,Iinnie as we were coming down from history at the close of our programs, and the answering glance would have been envious had it Fifty-ffzine .iW'T'2w'f eaa1' sf' . , , ,rf .1 wa? , . . -. .4.. f WI: i .,.. ,,,,, . ..

With a last promise to tell her all about it the next day, I left for home. At twenty minutes to eight I was seated at the piano playing all the latest music. At eight o'cIock I was still playing. As a quarter after eight came I picked up a magazine and started to read. A queer little dead feeling pricked my throat. What if he had forgotten? Surely he wouIdn't. I-Ie might have gotten lost or -I burst into laughter as I thought of Jack whose IS7 pounds are admired by Central and feared by the other schools -husky jack wandering timourously about the city hunting the residence of one Peggy Castleman. 'Twould be a pathetic sight, indeed! After my mirth had subsided and I had read for a space, I again had occasion to consult the clock. It was twenty-five minutes to nine. What on earth had hap- pened to him? I had reason to believe, or at any rate I was under the impression that I had reason to believe Cand that amounts to the same thingj that Jack wouldn't deliberately stay away. Some- thing must have gone wrong, I assured myself, but that didn't bring Jack or tell me just what had occurred. By a quarter to nine I was tired of Waiting. I threw down my magazine, snatched up my handkerchief and ran upstairs. My eyes burned. To cry would have relieved them, but I was far too angry to cry. As I lay in the dark my thoughts were a jumble, but through them all ran one connecting thread of query. Sixty Why? When Jinnie saw me next morning she exclaimed, Oh, Peggy, did you have a good time? I turned to my locker: I couldn't look at her. I was too embar- rassed. I-Ie didn't come. I I-Ie didn't come? Jin, too, was sur- prised. Somehow that made me feel better. Why? If I knew, maybe I wouIdn't be so humiliated, and then again I might feel worse. I grinned and Jennie smiled re- assuringlyf' 'Something certainly happened to him, 'cause I know he wouIdn't stand you up. The bell rang just then so we went to class. Jack was a member of this class. I don't know what I'd have done if I had met him, but he wasn't there at the be- ginning of the period. About fifteen minutes later he came in with a detained slip. I carefully avoided his eye. Jin and I walked down the hall to- gether after class and as she turned to go down to the second floor Jack spoke to rne. Oh, Peggy. I turned. I-Ie looked at me earnestly as he continued. 'Tm awfully sorry about last night. I guess it seemed funny to you when I didn't show up. , I nodded my head. Well, had your 'phone number and address in my little gray memorandum book and I left that book here at school in my locker.

Miss Mary Powell, docent of the museum, gave an interesting forty- five-minute gallery talk on the Art of Egypt and the Egyptian Collection in the museum. The following formed the sub- ject matter of Miss Powell's talk: The earliest example of Egyptian Art which dates from about 5000 to 50 B. C., is theiunbaked clay vessel. Although it is probable that the large stone grain- mortars which have been found, preceded it somewhat in the matter of time, yet the hardness of the material of the mortar did not lend itself readily to decoration and so discounting any artistry of form, credit may be given to the unfired or sun-baked clay vessel as the first true example. These vessels were at first very plain in design and shape, and were devoted to ordinary uses. We have some that great- ly resemble cups and saucers, and others that were evidently intended to contain grain, and wine or water. At about this time was invented the potter's wheel. which has been called one of the most im- portant of the world's inventions. And soon, due to the discovery of the process of firing, probably by accident, the ves- sels became capable of a greater variety of shapes, and from the presence of cer- tain minerals in the clay, took on a glaze: last came color. Sixty-two of the mummy case may be mentioned as representative. Its decoration includes all the brilliant and vivid coloring that is known as Egyptian-the rich color of the desert, the typical blues and greens, and reds. It is remarkable, on study of a mum- my case, how many suggestions are con- tained in the figure-decoration of it. The most common motifs are the palm, the papyrus plant, of which paper was made, and the sacred lotus flowerg and bands i HE A 'Sw MV 5 fftrlaif mar W7 mimi s its Qing-vs L-. if E 'Q' ,I 1 I Q . , , .- ,'- u- f, ,- Ji- ,g. rm , ' , V: ,,. v 1 'i-'L wi 'fftil f . -.,'fff35-I' ,-fl 2W2f '-'f'-f' ,. ?:T'F'l fL'l'K as PK-, f l, Jil' F W5 . .Cir 1Q,4f5U1Q--s-M h1'i3gazE15ef l f fi 'ifffqlgn-Q7 -31Z i-, - V-4 .4-T ' ' ' ' ' - 1 ' rl- ,-'1 1, 1:-' '-- 5 ' ' ' .5 'T :ie , I -' law.sif-x+r,,a'4efftt,.- ,-.JA smsfsxs 7l -Ji - -1 4 2 - ,-gg-f,,1,,g-gags, 1 - I' V! ,L 2 3 LLgiY i im, J, , ,.,k , ., J..- ,g,,,,,.... gyy.. . , . .. - Y yy - fl. f .1 2-- - 1 - ll ' 1 'Af 2' -Q m-p am. 4 A y '-Q... .,- 2 'km Ml Y 1 Q THE RED and borders employing these cover a large surface of the case. Besides this motif-decoration, is a pictorial representa- tion of the life of the deceased, in which can be recognized scenes of joy and mourning, marriage feasts, banquet scenes, the bringing of gifts, the death, preparation and entombment of the body, the Weighing of the heart and judgment in the next world. From these pictures may be read by one initiated a veritable, and definite, life-history of the dead. Usu- ally across the middle of the lid of the case with outspread wings, is Isis, the goddess of eternityg and at the head is the face, carved, and built up out of plaster and painted with abundant use of goldg it wears the peculiar Egyptian headdress. The whole design is bound together by broad bands of hieroglyphics, or Egyptian picture-writing, which we are told are prayers for the dead. Of added interest is the mummy mask. This is a thin shell of wood, carved in the semblance of a face, built up, as in the manner of the face on the mummy case, with plaster, and artfully and often very realistically painted. This, with a place for the shoulders, was placed upon the head much in the manner of a helmet. It was thought necessary by the Egyptians be- cause of the belief that the soul linallyre- entered the body to use it thereafter for- ever during its existence in the other World, and therefore that the most beauti- ful habitation possible must be prepared. To this purpose was the embalming of the body and the decoration of the case. Of interest in speaking of the mummy case were four earthen jars entombed with AND BLACK the mummy. These, called Canopic jars from Canopus, in Northern Egypt, which was the source of the clay, con- tained the vital organs of the dead. Sym- bolically they represented the four winds of the world and had for covers, respec- tively, a jackal's head, a hawk's head, a dog's head, and a man's head. Besides the due preparation of the body and an appropriate burial, the Egyp- tians believed that it was just as necessary to provide pleasing and beautiful sur- roundings for the spiritg and so We have the wall decoration of the tombs. This comprises decoration by incision-relief in which the background was cut away and the figures stood out, and intaglio, in which the opposite was true and in which the figures were frequently colored. There was also painting on the stone, much as the ltalian masters painted on plaster, in fresco. Under the classification of intag- lio comes the stele or gravestone. It often had a rounded top and figures in color, and it was placed, usually as a sort of memorial to the departed, at the en- trance of the tomb. The subject of the llie the wall decoration was as a rule much same as that of the life-scenes on mummy case. I The early sculpture, very free and na- turalistic, consists wholly of small figures, often made of wood and very frequently painted, which latter suggests the fact that in the earlylart, painting had no really sep- arate existence, but was merely an adjunct to sculpture. The great statues of Ram- eses, and the Sphinx are all examples of the later period when the manner of rep- resentation had become greatly conven- Si.1'ty-tlufee 4 JL M35 'W flbil 5 4 al ters la Ai 1, V' x ima 9- 5 Ka? 2+- THE RED tl0l lallZ6Cl The beard came to be the slgn of power and respect some of the gods and prlests being represented as hav :ng beards of extraordinary length and of most fantastic shapes and other strrct conventlonalltles of pose and attlre had entered mto the images of the dlgnltanes of the land The kmg was usually repre sented as sxttmg rlgldly uprlght and al most a part of the plain box throne on whlch he was seated with face front hls feet planted flrmly hls arms close agalnst his sldes and hxs hands on hls knees and Wlth a most elaborate headdress Of thls type was the statue found ln the tombs of prominent persons which was placed ln a nlche for It behmd the sarcophagus An excellent example 1S the statue of Klng Amenophls lll Under the head of the mlnor arts and lncluded wlth pottery makmg and mum my case decoratlon and not less mterest mg than the greater arts of sculpture and pamtmg are a number of objects not to be omltted ln passlng Among these small vases of alabaster a whlte semx t1anslucent stone of value for contammg oxls, olntments, and cosmetlcs, ought to be mentloned And along thls llne are the beads that have been found 1n the tombs, red and blue mostly, the former usually of carnellan and the latter of lap Smiy fozu' 2 ,ig 3 - I AND BLACK IS lazulx remarkably perfect and often found strung together ln such a manner as to form a deslgn Then are the amu lets whlch were cleverly executed Hllflla tures of certaln objects and worn by the anclents to brlng good luck and the scar abs which used as the settmgs for rmgs were carved ln the likeness of beetles On the reverse slde was the seal of the wear er whlch could be used on turmng the scarab Of lxke rnterest was what was call ed Egyptlan polychrome glass Whlch al though coming comparatlvely late ln the order of thmgs from the elghth to the hfth century B C was nevertheless very mterestlng Thls glass was not blown but modeled over a core and while stxll hot threads of glass were applled to the sur face and flattened by rollmg and smooth mg the pattern feather lxke ln effect was produced by draggmg the surface Of the remarkable fabrlc and woven deslgns of the Egyptlans we are able here to say nothmg In concluslon It can be readlly seen that the responslblllty for the greatness and lmportance of Egyptlan art rests on lts close relatlonshxp wlth the llfe of the peo ple, and 1ts very preservation for the eyes of modern tlmes, on the extent to whlch lt was lncorporated 1n thelr manners and beliefs.

I-le whistled loudly and merrily to the extreme annoyance of his studious freshman roommate who, with wrinkled brow and rumpled hair, was deep in the intricacies of Virgil. The whistling abruptly ceased, for George was painstakingly applying him- self to the task of smoothing a stubborn bit of hair which resisted all attempts to make it lie in flat accordance with the rest of his shining pate. The truant lock, after much coaxing and patting, at last succumbed to George's repeated effortsg and George's mood, as he searched for a correct tie, once more waxed merry. Sweet Adeline! for you l pine-, he shouted sentimentally, until the walls and ceiling verily resounded with the bumps and thumps and sharp raps of annoyed students. Quite unruffled by this interruption, he continued with his song, pausing only long enough to listen to his roommate's mild observation: If those Sophs catch you out without your cap, it won't be quite so funny. Joy-killer, returned George. Who said anything about not wearing a cap? l've got it right here in my pocket, and if l see any Sophs coming, l'll take my lid off and put this on, and they won't be any the wiser. George demonstrated his plan with the inadequate bit of red flannel which all freshmen were forced to Wear while in the presence and sight of their most wor- thy superiors, the Sophomores. Indeed, should a freshie fail to discharge this duty, he was in danger of his Very life and could expect anything as a result of such a gross sin of omission. At last, his preparations completed, George adjusted his own cap, crossed the room, banged the door after him, and was gone. Complete silence reigned, broken only by an occasional murmur of voices in the corridor, or by the opening and clos- ing of a door. Presently the eyes of Tor- kil, the roommate, strayed from his book and he began to chuckle gleefullyg for there on the floor near the door lay the small red object, which was Roger's cap. ln the meantime George closed the front door carefully, walked quickly to the sidewalk, paused long enough to glance cautiously about to see that his departure had not been noticed by any of the few Sophs who lived in the same dormitory, and started at a brisk stride down the street. George pulled his overcoat more close- ly about him, turned up its huge collar and jambed his hands down into the deep pockets, for it was a bitterly cold, frosty night. The moon, high in the heavens, shed its beams over the earth with a clear brilliancyg the stars glittered icily in their places. lt would be a dandy night for coast- ing or skating if it wasn't so cold, re- flected George as he plodded along. l S i.1'fy-five .1 J, -E .xr ,fx it-1,59 1 .A .Y sz- an - 21 , ff. . -. v -Q.-1 :ffifp ' Ellyn iw' Qlilam-f.1aa?,.. , .f, N- ' . -.4-3: - , iw? we- ,'qf'f-F121 f-: M, -f.::ifW.Tl .i .- : H , -.vp I 4:- -H , , f .Z-3 -1 -ii?- Y N avi - I N, U in 'Q A , ., Y Lf ... - . .

Rogers soon arrived at his destination, the largest picture-house of which the col- lege town could boast. He purchased his ticket, obtained a central seat and settled down to enjoyment. As the principal attraction of the program had not yet begun, he allowed his gaze to rove mechanically over the audience. Suddenly he sat up as though electri- fied, for just two rows ahead, and a little to the right, sat five husky sophomores, among whom were two of the group that had once before inflicted punishment upon him. That first time, he was com- pelled to entertain the outpouring crowds of the theatre, just after the show had let out, by his rendition of a popular song. However, George knew that it would be impossible for him to escape so easily this time. instinctively he reached for his freshie cap, but to his utter amazement it was not in the pocket in which he had placed it! He searched frantically through all his pockets before he finally convinced him- self of the fact that somehow he had lost that sorely-needed article. George real- ized that if the Sophs should catch him, any extreme could happen, for he frankly admitted that he was guilty of breaking two of the most important laws laid down by those worthies. George's first impulse was to leaveg but as soon as reason asserted itself, he knew that to get up and walk out would be the Si.1'ty-six' AND BLACK surest way of calling attention to himself, and he was positive that he had not yet been discovered. At all events, he must not be caught. This was the thought which remained uppermost in his mind. He finally decided to leave during the in- termission. Accordingly, when the program had reached that point, George quietly aroseg but even as he did so, there was a craning of necks, and then happened the inevit- able: he was discovered! It was with great difficulty that he was able to walk in an unconcerned manner from the theatre, but upon reaching the sidewalk, he broke into a run. He had gone but a short distance, when, glancing over his shoulder, he saw that he was being followed by a group somehow greatly increased in number over the original five. So they dashed down the street, the pursued and the pursuers, and even Rog- ers knew that the latter were steadily gaining on him. He tried in vain, by re- peated short cuts, to elude them, but could no longer maintain the same speed. He realized this as his pace visibly slack- ened. Finally he came to a halt, com- pletely exhausted. Should he take up the race and try to escape into some back- yard, or should he surrender himself to the extremely doubtful mercy of the angry Sophs? While he was debating this question, the Sophs, a panting, angry group of fellows, bore triumphantly down upon him and surrounded him. They pulled him this way and that, thoroughly mauling him as they did so. They plied him with questions and accu- sations in rapid succession, all of which fi'15gZ'.'2ii'-l 111 4 - 5371. . 513.

At last, realizing that their efforts to arouse him were futile, they desisted from the attack and circled about him while they considered what form of punishment they should mete out. lt's too cold to take him clear down to Wheeler's Lake to paddle him, offered one tall fellow thoughtfully, and besides we couldn't dip our paddles into the Water, because the lake's frozen over too thick. Various plans were suggested by dif- ferent members of the group, all of which plans met with disapproval from one when they and were source or another.

Maybe that'll teach him to keep his place, hereafter. The plan was enthusiastically received, and they set out for lVliller's Hall, care- fully guarding the culprit among them. Rogers was now completely subdued, for he knew he could not make much head- way even if he should contemplate any such rash proceeding as breaking away from his vigilant guard, besides he felt that nothing could ever induce him to run again. As he trudged wearily along, he con- sidered with some apprehension the fate which was before him. If only the girl would be the jolly good-sport kind who would be able to recognize the humor of the situation and consider it all a joke. Conversation had long since died out, for the group had assumed an air of ominous silence calculated, no doubt, to impress Rogers with a sense of the enor- mity of his sin and a fear for the possible result.. At last they reached lVliller's Hall where they paused outside to hold a brief consultation. They decided that Travers, the Soph who had originated the plan, should ac- company Rogers to the ordeal while the rest of them should surround the place at a short distance in order that they might be able to frustrate any attempt at escape that Rogers might be planning. They immediately separated, leaving Rogers and Travers alone. Now, said Travers, emphatically, you'll do just what l say or you'll suffer for it afterward. When We go in, you'll have to pretend you're a good friend of mine accompanying me on a social call. There are always some girls in the main parlor and I'll pick out one and introduce you. Then I'll ask if we can see her privately, and after we are seated in one of the smaller parlors, you'll propose to her. First, tell her you have loved her ever since you first saw her, and then ask her to marry you. Be sure you make it strong, and don't forget to kneel when you pop the question. Remember l'll be watching you and listening to every word you sayg so if you don't do it up brown, you'll get what's coming to you afterward. Understand ?

So saying, Travers led George up the broad steps to the door of Miller's Hall, a girl's academy, which was situated in the college town. After being admitted, they advanced into the center of a large, well- furnished main parlor, where. several girls were seated about on sofas and chairs, chatting amiably. Travers seemed per- fectly familiar with his surroundings, for he spoke to several of the girls. Mean- while he glanced quickly about the room until he discovered a girl sitting apart from the others, industriously reading. After a moment's hesitation he ap- proached her, George following close after. Travers, evidently rather well ac- quainted with the girl, engaged her in conversation, during which time George had ample opportunity to study her. He immediately experienced a sinking sensa- tion, for she gave the impression of curi- ous aloofness, almost Verging on sophisti- cation. I-le decided it was going to be quite difficult to' perform successfully the arduous task before him. Yet many fellows, he reflected, as he watched her narrowly, Would, no doubt, have considered proposing or even speak- ing to her a privilege. Rogers was com- pelled to admit in all honesty that many would have gone to a deal of trouble to experience the pleasure of a few Words Sixty-eight AND BLACK with a girl like her. She was not merely ordinarily pretty, but rather unusually so, with her wavy brown hair and expressive brown eyes, which were darker in hue than her hair. Just the right height, mused Rogers, who was quite tall, himself. Altogether he felt that he might have been quite interested in her had they met under ordinary circumstances. But as it was, that slight air of sophistication puzzled him and made him look doubt- fully to the ordeal he was about to un- dergo. Just then she laughed, a merry and infectious sort of laugh whose most important characteristic was its power to soothe. George had always liked peo- ple who laughed soothingly, and he was at once possessed of a faint hope that she would understand his position. His assumptions were interrupted, for Travers commenced to introduce Rogers as a friend of his who had, for a long time, been desirous of an introduction. The girl's name was Miss Brundrett, Miss Eleanor Brundrett, to be exact, and Rog- ers immediately found himself peculiarly attracted to the name. Soon, Miss Brundrett led the way into a smaller parlor nearby where they could converse more freely. Here they com- fortably seated themselves, Rogers next to Miss Brundrett, while Travers inten- tionally separated himself from the two. They all three talked of casual happen- ings for a few moments when Travers politely excused himself by saying that a girl in the next room wished to see him. He crossed the room to the doorway and disappeared. George felt that his time had come. He leaned forward in his chair riiili-. rr X if AB.

A THE 'RED seeing visions of mysterious and cruel tor- tures in his mind's eye. E Eleanor, he said, his voice husky with an emotion which was not that of sentiment, and then he paused. l-le had not meant that his voice should become husky, but, since it had, it served as an incentive to spur him on, moreover George had not belonged to the Dramatic Club at High for nothing. Eleanor, he continued, ul love you. l've loved you ever since l first saw you. You were walking down the avenue late one afternoon. You were facing the sun- set, and the last rays of the sun shone upon you. You were glorious. I haven't been able to eat or sleep since that time. l can't live without you. George paused again and swallowed hardg then with an inspiring gesture, he was on his knees be- fore her. The time had come for the all- important question. l-le could not evade itg for somewhere, close to that doorway, he knew that Travers was intently listen- ing. l'le glanced nervously over his shoul- der, and then blurted out, Eleanor, will you be mine? Will you marry me? The girl sprang to her feet thoroughly aghast at his boldness. She asked herself why she had allowed him to continue his atrocious words, why she had not silenced him at his first utterance. George still knelt stupidly at her feet. l-le was so wretched that had there been any dust, AND ' BLACK he would surely have groveled in it. l'le had fulfilled the ordeal, but what would the girl think of him? She, in all prob- ability, already considered him an im- becile. Travers, now standing in the doorway, was shaking with suppressed laughter. Eleanor glanced quickly from the blushing Rogers to the convulsed Travers. Then, throwing her head back, she laughed heartily, mirthfully, and, as George later observed, soothingly. Trav- ers came to the rescue, and did it so effectively that a moment later as Eleanor was escorting them to the door, she whis- pered mischievously into Roger's ear, I'll forgive everything you said, but I'll answer your question some other time. Roger's fate at the hands of the Sophs does not much concern this tale, for it can readily be surmised that the Sophs were quite satisfied by Travers' colorful account of the episode, and released their victim. But interest does center in that section of the announcement which Tor- kil, George's former roommate, received five years later. It read as follows: Mr. and Mrs. N. D. Brundrett Announce the marriage of their daughter Eleanor Louis.-4 to George Parks Rogers.

'-u,fQ7l'1 THE 'RED AND BLACK A NEW VARIETY By Loralda McB1'00m T was a gloomy night on the outskirts of a little village in southern Mis- souri. The rain was falling dismally and nature's dreary sounds were magni- Hed by the stillness. On the top of a wooded knoll stood the tiny church of Bethlehem. On three sides it was surrounded by giant oak and elm trees, which, under the pale light of the moon c a s t terrifying shadows upon its white walls. On the other side was a graveyard and the moon shining on the tombstones made them gleam eeri- ly through the darkness. A I o n g the m u cl d y r o a d 000-oo-oo-oo, he heard. came a h o r s e and buggy, the horse's hoofs thudding dully into the mud. Inside the buggy were two figures, an indistinct blur in the dark- ness. On they came, the horse's hoofs mak- ing the only sound in the silence. On and on, past long rows of trees standing like solemn sentinels and waving ghostly branches. On and on, past the squatty bushes by the roadside. On and on, while the rain fell slowly and evenly, never and stood. rooted to the spot,- stopping for a moment. On and on, while the tree-toads croaked dismally. Oh, Fred, hurry! This place is haunt- ed! cried a feminine voice within the buggy- That is just some old Women's gos- sip. There is no such thing as a ghost, scoffed Fred. I tell you, F r e d 3 it is t r .u e. IVI y brother saw the ghost out in the grave- yard the other night. Do hur- r y , please! implored the girl nervously. ' ' P o o h I Your brother j u s t thought he saw some- thing. It was only his im- agination working after he had eaten so much ice cream and ham sandwiches at the party the other night. But other people saw it, too, and you know they all wouldn't lie, protested she. . Aw, you know how people are. They heard the gossip and then- I-Ie stopped, his eyes protruding in surprise.

A ghost! Oh Heavens! Could it be a ghost? Fred the non-believer, whipped up his horses, running them until their mouths were foaming. His eyes bulged with fear. His companion crouched in one corner of the buggy, her teeth chattering. Would they never reach town? At last they plunged into the village, the horses wet with sweat: and not until they were in the house by a warm, cheer- ful fire did their fright leave them. The next day out in front of the gen- eral merchandise store of the small coun- try town stood a group of boys conversing excitedly. They said it was large and white, averred one, with a look of fear pictured on his face. i'Ancl l heard Fred say that it was in the center of the graveyard and when it saw them it began to walk towards them, added another, glancing quickly around as if the ghost were near. NAW, you make me tired. l don't be- lieve they saw anything at all. They just thought they did, cried a slender boy of sixteen, scoffingly. But Bob, you know my sis wouldn't tell a lie. She was scared stiff when she got home, protested Jack, a lad of fif- teen. Your sister might have thought she saw it, but she didn't, for there's no such thing as a ghost, l tell you. When people S ez'em'y-two die you can't tell me they ever come back to earth again, answered Bob. Well, what if sis did imagine it. You know Fred isn't a coward. l-le always was brave and he wouldn't run from any- thing, exclaimed the boy triumphantly. Aw, you know how people will talk. He heard about the haunt and thought he saw it, answered Bob. Bob was tall and slender with a thatch of unruly brown hair. l-lis face was cov- ered with large patches of freckles and his mouth was always quirked up into an irresistible smile. Out of his blue eyes there shone a spirit of honesty and fear- lessness that made everyone like and trust him at once. Now he was standing in an aggressive position, his legs thrust apart and his hands clasped behind his back. Jack glanced up suddenly. I say, Bob! If you're so doggone sure it wasn't a ghost, why don't you go and see. I dare you to go and see. l dare you to go stay all night in the old church and watch for the spookf' Bob drew back in surprise and his face paled a little beneath the healthy tan. Could he go into that haunted church at night, even to prove his own assertions? But if he didn't, the boys would forever be making jokes at his expense. Oh, well-- He jerked his head up proudly and a grim look overspread his face. All right! I'll go and see what it is, he said. Jack laughed scornfully, I bet you will. I-low'll we know you really went there? Bob flushed angrily.

The boys looked up into Bob's earnest countenance. Did he really mean to go? Would he dare to brave the terrors of a haunted graveyard? His determined face answered them. l-le was going into that horrible graveyard at night. lnvolun-I tarily they shivered even in the bright and cheerful sunlight. . . . . . . . . . . . Night again! This time the moon was shining brilliantly as if desiring to atone for its feeble rays of the night before. The air was soft and balmy and conveyed a feeling of drowsiness. The flowers on the mounds were drooping sleepily and a gentle breeze softly stirred the grasses. Bob strode up the walk of the little old church whistling bravely, his hands in his pocketsg but the effect was a trifle overdone for his voice was nervous and shaky and his hands were trembling, while little beads of perspiration were forming on his pale face. As he entered the doorway a musty, dead odor struck his nostrils and he could hear the patter, patter of the mice as they fled at his approach. The wood of the old seats was rotting and the church's rafters were crumbling with age. The stained glass gave off an eery light as the moon shone brightly on it. Bob shuddered and an odd premoni- tion of evil struck him. What was going to happen? What was the night to bring? l-le sat down on the edge of a seat, gingerly. Could he stand this all-night wait? He got up and walked to and fro to break the awful silence which was enough to make the bravest uneasy. Then, as a sudden thought struck him, he climbed up onto one of the window- sills and raised the window slightly, let- ting it down on his handkerchief, which waved slowly in the breeze. Mfhere! l guess that will satisfy 'em, he remarked. l-le turned back into the room and wandered aimlessly around. Soon a sharp sound cut the stillness. It was a dreadful shriek. Oo-oo-oo-oo, ' he heard and stood rooted tothe spot, Wondering dully what sort of noise ghosts make. The sound seemed to come from a certain corner and Bob, springing up, rushed forward. There was nothing there, but again came that horrible screech. Bob whirled in terror to flee, but a cold draft struck his knees and he turned back with an inspiration. Could it be? Yes, that was it! ln one corner was an immense fireplace, and the wind sweeping down the chimney caused the terrifying sound. Bob sat down trembling with relief, his heart still thumping. He rested there un- til he began to grow sleepy and his head began to fall forward rousing him inter- mittently. The village clock solemnly struck t w e l 'v' e. ''One-two-three-four-six-eight- twelve. Remembering that ghosts are supposed to walk at the midnight hour, Bob jerked into position, and ran to an eastern window, looking out into the graveyard. Nothing there. I-le sat down to wait. Then followed a long, dreary vigil. Again he became drowsy and at times nearly fell to the floor with fatigue.

Advancing, then retreating, something with no head and a big, bulky body. Great Scott! If I ever get away from here I'll never come back again, cried Bob, his voice shaking and his teeth chat- tering. He tried to run, but his legs would not carry him. He grasped a seat to keep from falling and a clammy hand seemed clutching his throat. In a moment, but what seemed to 'him years, his legs were freed and he fled pre- cipitously down the walk as if a dozen demons were pursuing him-Bob the Brave, running as fast as he could: Bob the Valiant, fleeing from a ghost! All at once he stopped quickly. Borne on a gentle breeze came a plaintive Baa- baa-baa. He listened intently, a Iook AND BLACK of amazement pictured on his face. Again came that mournful Baa-baa- baa-baaf' His astonishment changed to relief, as he faced about and walked to- ward the sound. One of the graves had sunk down far into the ground, making a large hole, and into this hole had fallen-a sheep-a large, woolly sheep. The boy laughed loud and Iong. It was old Farmer Brown's adventurous sheep that was always falling into holes, getting into someone's fields or stealing someone's garmentsg Old Farmer Brown's sheep that was the pet of the town even though it was mischievous and always getting into some predicament. As the sheep looked up into the boy's face mournfully, and jumped up trying to get out from its prison, it seemed to say, A new kind of a ghost, huh?

Outside, the noon- day sun beat down on the hot desert sands. At his feet lay a- sealed mummy case, devoid of any of the usual decora- tions, the only thing found in the undeco- rated tomb. l-lm, he muttered to himself, strange, very strange indeed. No hiero- glyphics, no decorations, no property be- sides this mummy case. Besides, the case is unusually light. Very unusual. His forehead wrinkled into lines of thought. What was the clue to all this mystery? Suddenly he sat erect. He had an idea. Bending over, he opened the seals of the mummy case and threw back the lid. He looked in, then fell back with a gasp of astonishment. The case contained naught but two rolls of papyrus. One was about a foot in diameter. The other was much smaller. Stranger still, he muttered. Where in the world has the body gone to? May- be these rolls will explain. Taking up the larger roll, he examined it under a magnifying glass. The papyrus was of the finest quality, the kind used only for the writings of the Pharaohs and their high priests. Queen He seems to have been a high priest, with the powers of a king, if I can judge by the papyrus. This grows quite interesting. Morgan mused as he untied the cowhide cord fastening the roll, and carefully unrolled the papyrus. Seventy-sin' He unrolled six inches. The surface was blank. I-Ie unrolled a foot. Not a trace of writing appeared. l-le unrolled the whole papyrus. Every part of its sur- face was devoid of writing. This seems to be developing into quite a mystery, he soliloquized, and again took up his magnifying glass. On the sur- face of the papyrus were indentations showing that something had been written on it. Yet, unless he could make the writ- ing legible, the mystery would remain as impenetrable as ever. Again his brow was corrugated in deep thought. Ah I have it! he cried. Why didn't I think of it before? It might have been vegetable ink. From the packet he took a small bottle and poured a few drops of its contents on the papyrus. Under the drops appeared black letters over four thousand years old, just as fresh and clear as if newly written. Stepping to the door, Morgan clapped his hands. An Arab lad appeared and bowed deeply. Go you and bring me the pack on the second camel, commanded Morgan in Arabic. The boy bowed again and left, soon re- turning with the desired pack. Morgan untied the pack and began searching through a maze of scientific paraphernalia for the bottle of the developing fluid. At last he found it. Taking a brush and dish, he hurried back to the papyrus, leaving the instruments on the ground. I-le poured some of the liquid into the dish, dipped the brush in it, and painted 'i-E' .--.fa .. fag?

In the wake of the brush the black letters appeared. I, lVIanetho, high priest and brother- in-Ra to Pharaoh Amenemhe I, Lord of Upper and Lower Egypt, son of Osiris, brother to I-Iorus, do now write this, a his- tory of how I, the appointed of Isis, raised this Arnenemhe to the exalted throne of the Pharaohsg to the title of Lord of Upper and Lower Egypt. I write this a month before I go, condemned at the hands of the priests of Sankh-Ra, the god with the crocodile face, to be eaten by the holy crocodiles. Give heed. I, the son of the high priest to Sankh- Ka-Ra, Pharaoh and Lord of Upper and Lower Egypt at that time, was born on the same day as the present Pharaoh, who was not of the royal blood, but a nobleman of small estate, whose ancestors on his father's side, were unknown people. I-Iis people were related to mine. Together we grew up. Together we studied the same things until we reached our sixteenth birthdays. Then I was taken into the temple to become a priest, while he was taught the duties of a nobleman. When I reached the age of five and twenty I became the Seer of Osiris suc- cessor to my father, who had died about a year before. The secrets of the stars, the secrets of the ka, hypnosis, the secrets of the divine Osiris-all, all were at my command. He, on the other hand, was a noble- man of stately bearing, with more than the ordinary sum of knowledge in his pos- session. Yet, even though we were so sep- arated in station, learning, and tastes, we were close comrades. Through our com- AND BLACK radeship he was to become Pharaoh, wearer of the double crown-Lord of Up- per and Lower Egypt. It came about as follows: One night I had a dream. Before me appeared Isis, Mother of Horus, and said to me, 'Go thou to Khufu, the greatest pyramid in Egypt. There turn to the west and travel a journey of a day and a half. At the end of your journey, you will see a tomb. Do as it is written thereon. Go alone, and remember, keep to the west, the land of the setting sung' then she dis- appeared. I awoke. The east was turning grey. I-Iurriedly I prepared for the journey, for when the gods command, all must obey, or suffer serious consequences. Taking my sword and spear, I set forth from lVIem- phis, the city of my birth, to Gizeh, the site of the great pyramids. Reaching Khufu, the greatest pyra- mid, I turned to the west toward the land of the setting sun. Through the burning afternoon I plodded on. Night ap- proached. The sun set suddenly, as it al- ways does in the land of Egypt, and night came on with a rush. The constellations rose. Southward, the Southern Cross gleamed bright. By it I set my course. I passed from the verdant plains of the Nile to the shifting desert sands. Onward still, I stalked. The east grew grey. The sun rose in a blaze. A half day's journey was yet ahead of me. lVIy throat was parched, but who heeds thirst when the gods say 'Go'? I pressed lon. At last, about eight hundred paces away, I saw the tomb. lVIy heart leaped within me. My journey was at an end.

It was a human skeleton, bleaching in the sun. A little farther on was another one. A chill crept down my back. Yet, l went onward toward the tomb. On the door was Writ- ten this message: 'Break not the seal, unless thou be the appointed of lsis. Oth- erwise thou wilt die a terrible death the instant thou touchest the seal. If thou art the appointed of lsis, break the seal, but beware, for if thou art impure, thou will die, thy bones will bleach on the desert.'

The torch lighted up the dim recesses. On the wall, in the same characters, stood written the following: 'Oh thou, the appointed of lsis and most fortunate of beings.

But, whoever thou choosest will be made Pharaoh, Lord of Upper and Lower Egypt, within three months. 'Heed my words. The present Phar- aoh shall die, leaving no heirs.

'Look into my eyes Amenemhe, and tell me if I jest. What l say is not trea- son, but the will of lsis and the Gods' He looked deep into my eyes and then said, 'The eyes are not those of a jester or one who is out of his mind.

'The Gods have not so decreed it,' I retorted. 'What is your answer? I must have it at once.' 'I would make you second only to myself. But, before I agree, I must know your plans. I cannot go into this treason- ous affair blind to everything. To tell the truth, I go into it only because of you, my dearest friend.' 'The affair is not treasonous, as I said before, but the will of the Gods,' I re- torted. 'As for my plans, it is best that you know nothing of them. Trust all to me and you will wear the double crown inside of two months. Is it agreed?' 'Agreed,' said Amenemhe, and held out his hand. Our hands clasped. The bargain was sealed. On the day of the rising of the Nile, I entered the Room of Osiris, performed the usual ceremonies, and left, carrying with me the papyrus rolls and ring from the hand of Osiris. Then I repaired to my room. One roll was addressed to me: 'To the Seer of Osiris, the appointed of Isis, the King-maker of the gods: The ring that you now possess has the power to control the ka of every mortal. Use it for the good, otherwise your ka will be damned before the forty-two judges of Osiris.' The other was the will of Sankh-Ka- Ra, naming fthe space was left blankl his heir, and sealed with his seal. My work was very easy now. In the blank space I inserted Amenemhe's name without delay. The next morning Sankh-Ka-Ra died. But I was prepared. Amenemhe stood at AND BLACK my side. The will was in my hand. The ring was on my forefmger. Soon there floated through the palace the words 'Pharaoh is dead, Pharaoh is deadf A slave soon brought me back verifi- cation of the rumor. Sankh-Ka-Ra was dead. The time was ripe. I sprang to a stool and held up my hand. 'Peace, the Seer of Osiris wishes to speakl' ran through the hall. Avdeath- like silence reigned. 'Fools,' I said. 'Pharaoh never dies. 'Tis true that Pharaoh Sankh-Ka-Ra has been called to his fathers. Yet, in his stead, now, reigns Pharaoh Amenemhe I, heir to Sankh-Ka-Ra! Slave, bring forth the crown.' A slave brought forth the double crown of the Pharaohs. 'Amenemhe, heir of Sankh-Ka-Ra, I, Seer to Osiris, crown you Pharaoh Ame- nemhe I, Lord of Upper and Lower Egypt. Arise Pharaohf I said, and placed the crown on his head. Two years passed. I was the most powerful man in Egypt besides Pharaoh. Yet I was not satisfied. I wanted to be Pharaoh, Lord of Upper and Lower Egypt lf Amenemhe were gone, I would be his successor. So I reasoned. Around me I gathered all of the enemies of Amenem- he. We plotted. Amenemhe would have to die. The day came. As the king slept every noon, we decided to kill him at that hour. I hid myself behind the curtains in his room. Noon came and the king lay down to sleep.

HENRY WRIGHT slowly en- tered the Royal Club Building. Of course, if he had known why the lawyers wanted him, he would have hurried. But as it was, he was whistling softly, and felt that he and the world were friends. He entered the elevator with a jaunty swing and asked the elevator man to let him off at the sixteenth floor. Croak, the junior, and l may say, subser- vient member of the firm. Henry Wright had only a bare idea of what the lawyers had called him up for. ln fact, he thought that they were wrong, and that it was all a big mistake. lVlr. Wright ? Come in, my dear sir. It really isn't our fault, you know, that we didn't call you up before. We just found Arriving at that floor, he went from door to door seeking the right number. Final- ly, he stopped short. There, before him, was the name: Readem and Croak Attornies-at-Law He hesitated for a moment about the advisability of knocking on the door. He knocked. A short, stubby man opened the door.

He clenched his teeth. Ah! That was it! Why stay to see the finish? He arose quickly, preparatory to leaving. just then, Mr. Croak entered the room. Ah, lVlr. Wright! l was just going to call you, but l see that you have antici- pated me. Mr. Readem will see you now. He led the way to the next room, which was lVlr. Readem's private sanctum. lVlr. Readem was seated pompously at his desk. Pompously is the word. Every- thing he did was done with a flourish, in a proud and haughty manner. He was busy peering into a large book and mak- ing marks on a piece of paper-that is, he was very busy doing nothing. Most law- yers usually are when they have a caller. Not that Readem and Croak was not a prosperous firm, but they still followed this time-honored custom. Mr. Croak en- tered with Henry Wright in his wake. Mr, Reademf' began Mr. Croak apologetically. Ah, yes, said Mr. Readern, looking up for the first time. HlVlr. Wright, sit down and l will explain everything to you. He glanced at the clock. Henry Wright could not resist the op- portunity to display his wit. including the Einstein theory? he asked. Mr. Readem made an impatient gesture with his hand. There is no time for such triflesf' he said. I doubt whether- there is enough time as it is. Again that glance at the clock. Well, Mr. Readem, l'm ready. Begin, Eighty-two if there is a beginning, said Henry. lVlr. Wright, here are the bare factsf, Aha, said Henry, now we're getting somewhere. Yes, answered lVlr. Readem, if you'll keep quiet. Well, just about a year ago an uncle of yours, Mark Time by name, died. When his will was opened we found a strange provision. He left his entire estate, which is valued at three hundred and fifty thousand dol- lars, to you-H Oh, Mr. Readem, so that's what you wanted, interrupted Henry. Yes, but let me finish. As l said, he left it to you provided- Henryis beam- ing face became blanched. Provided, he whispered. Provided, l repeat, that you marry within a year after-his death, said Mr. Readem. Henry began to breath regularly again. Why, anything can happen within a year, he said, thinking of the girl who had promised to marry him. But, Mr. Wright, the year is up at seven o'clock tomorrow evening. Once more he glanced at the clock. The small hand was on four and the large hand was on twelve. You have exactly twenty-seven hours in which to get married, said lVlr. Read- em, pompously-as usual. Twenty-seven hours, repeated Henry slowly, as if the future of the world de- pended on it. Yes, said Mr. Readem, twenty- seven hours, and, he continued, weigh- ing on his words, l'd advise you to take advantage of every minute of them. Thank you, said Henry aimlessly, , .-' ,,f- , -if A 253.1 '- L. ,f xg- 1 si - fy , .f ' .mein - 'K WK ' cf fi- ...rf .,-- 4. - '14 :M ' MM-tri' i ff'-2. Q- B3g'a,,,, f:a'-Lvwgf .- S '-. .,. 'a-.

His dash down Grand Boulevard is still remembered-by Henry Wright. Finally, out of breath, he stopped running. Then he began to think straight again. Fool that he was! -Why didn't he take a street car? Did he think that he could negotiate two miles in ten minutes? And then- she woulcln't be at home at that hour, and anyway, even if she were, she wouldn't receive him until seven o'clock. So he hied him to his home. Arrived there, he found that there was nothing to do. He had gotten off early to go to the lawyers, and since he didn't like to read anything except the sport page of a newspaper and Nick Carter stories, he went to a movie. Although the movie was a thriller, it failed to interest Henry Wright. It was not because he was a blase movie fiend-which he was. It was not because The Lurid Episode failed to live up to its name. Perhaps it was because of the exasperating way time dragged. Perhaps is was because he was considering the nearness of his marriage. Perhaps-but why continue? The mere fact remains. He was bored, and at the same time impatient. Finally, The Lurid Episode dragged to a weary close. The last episode had been episoded. Since seven o'clock had yet to come, Henry Wright decided to go back to the Clothing Exchange Building. It must be admitted in passing that the only time any clothing was exchanged was when it was done without the con- sent of the owner. AND BLACK The Clothing Exchange Building was the home of the Vote-For-Senator-Bem son-Club. There was really no need of such a club, for Senator Benson was a very popular man. But his campaign managers left no stone unturned, for de- cidedly unpleasant things happen occas- ionally. Henry Wright especially, as pub- licity director, had an exceedingly difficult task. His job was no sinecure. He had to be on the go all the time. That is, excepting this one afternoon. Although he was not a confirmed clock-watcher, he broke all records sitting staring stupidly at the clock. When the hands pointed to six-thirty, he bounded from his chair and was on his way! He was on his way, but a casual by- stander would not have thought so. Strange though it may seem, it is always when one is in a hurry that one is delayed. And if Henry Wright's journey wasn't halted at least fifty times, Henry Wright is a liar. But all things must end-includ- ing unfortunate ones. He finally arrived at the home of his beloved. But he didn't see her immediately. Oh, no! When she did condescend to put in an appearance, he swiftly explained the situation. She panted. She didn't want to be married so quickly. He pleaded. She was obdurate. Finally, in despair, he said, Why don't you want to be married tomorrow? That would give us three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. She said, 'il want to have a big wedding -in a hall. I don't want a private wed- ding in a justice of the peace's office. But if l can get a hall and fill it with people, you'll marry me to-morrow?

But six-forty-five came and went, leaving Hooray! he yelled, and forthwith gave her a resounding kiss. But he had uhoorayedn too soon. He returned later that night a sadder but a wiser man. There were no halls to be rented at that late hour. He attempted to make her change her mind, but with the usual result. Well, he said, with his hand on the doorknob, there's nothing else to do. We just won't get that money. For the second time that evening he had spoken too soon. For, just as he was beginning to open the door The Idea popped into his head. Eureka! he shouted, I have found it. Then, turning eagerly toward his fiancee he said, Did you say that you would marry me tomorrow if the marriage took place in a large hall before a crowd of people? Yes, that's what l said. Prepare for marriage, he answered her, and left. His idea was simple. It was merely a combination of business and pleasure. The next evening was the night before elec- tion, and he had rented the Odeon to end Senator Benson's campaign with a flourish. He would have the meeting begin an hour earlier and be married on the stage as part of the program. Whatever else might be said about his idea, it cannot be gainsaid that it was an original one. At six-thirty the following evening, the hall was beginning to fill up. At six- thirty-five, Henry and his bride-to-be entered the stage. The wedding was scheduled to take place at six-forty-five. Eighty-four Henry Wright still a bachelor. The min- ister had failed to come. Somebody rose to speak. Senator Benson was next. A roar greeted his appearance upon the plat- form. Whether the applause was for him, or whether it was merely an expres- sion of relief, Senator Benson did not know. Nor did he care! All that Henry Wright heard of the first part of Senator Benson's speech was a jumble of sound, soothing his senses. His mind was wandering. Suddenly he was brought back to the world with a jerk. Senator Benson was still speaking. What l was going to say, continued the senator, was that this reminds me of- But it didn't remind Henry Wright of anything except that time was fleeting. Finally, there was a slight commotion in the rear of the stage. The minister had arrived. Senator Benson apologized, stopped speaking and backed up. Make way! Blow the trumpets! The wedding was on! It was almost seven when the ceremony started. Henry Wright had a watch in his hand, and at times during the ceremony speeded up the minister with the admonition faster! The wedding was over at about two seconds after seven. These two seconds worried Henry. Should he disregard them or should he tell the lawyers about them? An illumi- nating thought came to his mind. Maybe his uncle had died at two seconds after seven. Thus cheered up, Henry Wright was able to wait for the morrow. But he didn't tell his bride anything about it. 1 - .f ' iz - . ., '- Jiki - 1 L Qsfivkfii, . '7'2!1f'f -11 , , J '. , 4 ..,gq,'H' -..

Permit me to compliment you on your' remarkable recitation, Mr. Dale. The class snickered and Jimmy sat down, vehemently wishing that all teach- ers were executed. That evening found our hero interest- edly scanning the pagesof Gem, the school magazine. Suddenly he emitted a long whistle and stared. For there, con- spicuously adorning the staff photograph, stood our future Shakespeare, his hopeful genius. On the opposite page, moreover, her masterpiece, The Cavalier, stared back at him with a hauteur befitting its importance. ' Gee whiz, he muttered desperately, 'iif I only wuz a knight er a poet er- er somethin' ! And his soul teeming with emotion, he sat him down to concoct a poem. The expiration of a mere three hours found him surveying a chewed-up pencil, many discarded manuscripts, and an immortal verse. His intense satisfaction with this contribution to American literature, how- ever, was short-lived. Peggy, the bane of his existence, stole stealthily behind his chair and snatched the prize from his hands. Then, wildly gesticulating, she read aloud: To Rosalinda Trent. The stars that shine above, They speak to me of love, And l would tell the tale to thee If thou my faithful hart could see. Jimmy Sr. coughed behind his news- paper and glanced slyly at his wife. Her face Wore a tender smile. Perhaps she, too, was thinking of a poem a certain boy had written her long ago. But the unappreciative Junior, giving vent to his indignation, hurled a sofa pillow at his sister and, amidst the ex- clamations of his parents, advanced upon the hastily retreating enemy. I-le soon returned, ruefully fingering the inco- herent remnants of his manuscript and muttering, Jimmy crickets, l wonner why sisters wuz invented! , The next morning Junior, like a young peacock, strutted to and fro before a large mirror. He had donned his new suit and, what was infinitely more soul- satisfying, his first pair of long trousers! Entrancecl with his reflection, he was in the act of doubling the expansion of his chest when the inevitable Peggy stalked into the room. Shamelessly unimpressed by the momentous occasion, she began to snicker. Jimmy shot her a daggered glance but the unrepentant culprit, instead of ceasing her ill-timed mirth, burst into unrestrained peals of laughter. Q Oh dearest, she gasped, you l-f look so f-funny! Dearest was about to pounce upon the sofa pillows fhis favorite missiles in times of warl when he suddenly remem- bered that he had attained manhood and was above such a petty indulgence. So with a supercilious glance at his sister, he strode out of the room. A moment later as Junior was depart- ing for school, a sound wave, conveying a parental ejaculation, collided with his auricular appendage: Take care of your suit, dear.

And he slammed the door emphatically. When Jimmy was within proximity of his destination, however, he beheld the prodigious Rosalinda a few feet in front of him. She was poised upon the curb- stone and was gazing perplexedly across a wide expanse of mud. Yes, dear reader, mud! We blush in vain at the prosaic quality of this earthly matter. Nevertheless, such was the scene presented to our hero's eyesg but he was equal to the occasion. Stripping off his coat, he flung it over the glittering ex- panse. What though he had disregarded maternal admonition, the queen of his AND BLACK heart had crossed in safety and was smil- ing at him graciously. Oh, your poor coat! she murmured in such a sweetly compassionate manner that Jimmy found great difficulty in man- ipulating his vocal cords. Aw, it ain't nothin,' he finally stam- mered with a youthful disregard of rhetorical eloquence, I-I always wanted to do somethin' that ud make y-you n-- notice me. You needn't have , gone to such trouble, Sir Walter Raleigh, because I- l-well, l noticed you ages ago. K-kin l c-carry your b-books? Y-yes.

Don't look like one o' them salesmen much, he thought, chewing speculatively. I-le's too young lookin'. Dressed real quiet, too. Anyways salesmen don't come l'm not a traveling salesman. he answered briefly. What town do you come from? queried Mort. George Russel, the stranger, now un- derstood that his questioner desired to know his history.

Just then the stranger approached with a questioning look upon his face. Will you please tell me where the hotel is? he asked Mort. Oh! You mean Ben Burrows' place. That's where them travelin' men all go to. Then, giving vent to his curiosity, he asked, peering up inquiringly, Ye ain't one 0' them, be ye? The stranger had been looking about at the small ramshackle platform and now turned his gaze upon the depot agent. hamlet. My home is the mountain, the brook, the stars. I am a rolling-stone that gathers no moss. lVlort scratched his close-cropped head. What was the man talking about? Well, he'd try again. How long ye aimin' to stay? he questioned again.

If he thinks Sam left some gold 'r somethin' there, he's wrong. And lemme tell you, some day we'll wake up and find that somethin's been taken. As fer me, l wouldn't have none o' them kind hangin' around my place, she ended, significantly. Milly, as much as she wanted to, could say nothing in his defense, and when the lanky figure of Mrs. News disappeared, an inner voice told her, After all, you don't know any more about him than she. Looks and talk are nothing. He may be the greatest of villains. Her tortured mind brought her to one conclusion. She must know at once whether she could trust him or not. She would test him. But how? Her active brain searched about for the means. An idea struck her. I have it, she thought, l'll use the hundred dollar bill my aunt sent me for my twentieth birth- day. She waited impatiently for him to come, and as he approached a few hours after Mrs. News' departure, she mur- mured, I'll just satisfy myself that he's all right. Hello, she hailed him, attempting to make her voice light as usual, although she trembled inwardly. Hello, he answered, and after glanc- ing about, in mock seriousness asked, Why how come we're not honored by the presence of my intimate friend, Mrs. News and her colleagues? His voice showed mock anxiety. i The dear lady isn't sick in bed, is she? ln spite of herself, Milly laughed. Why he couldn't be a thief-yet the words of Mrs. News came back again. She must be sure. Her majesty must have been forcibly detained. Probably one of the babies has the mumps-but that wouldn't keep her away. Well whatever it is, l'm glad to have a rest, Milly replied, and then without any preliminaries on the subject, she burst out, By the Way, did you ever see a hundred dollar bill? She thought she detected a look of inquiry in his eyes, but if so, it was only for an instant. He answered lightly enough, Let me see. Yes, l remember in the dim, dim past one reposed in my pocket. Ah, that those days were here again. I have one right now, said Milly, waving a crisp hundred dollar bill. Got it from my aunt in Canada. This time she thought his eyes were speculative. A few more gay words, and he was gone. Demure little Milly felt dejected. Her plan had seemed to work only too well. He had shown more than an ordinary in- terest in the bill. Meanwhile, George Russel, the stran- ger, had immediately gone to the hotel. Entering the long dark room which served as a reception hall and also a lounging room, he noticed a man crouched in a far corner. Ben Burrows, the owner, sat gently nodding behind the unpaintecl counter. H Good afternoon, Mr. Burrows, George said pleasantly. This roused the proprietor, and he looked up with what was for him a quick motion.

Neverthe- less, George continued, Milly Bowden received a hundred dollar bill from her aunt. Some people certainly are lucky. You needn't have shouted so loud. I ain't deaf, Ben answered irritably, and, relaxing his squat body, was lost in slum- ber again. George, seeing that the Hgure in the corner had stiffened, was satisfied that he had heardg and so he went upstairs to his room. That same evening, Milly felt that someone was watching her. ln the midst of reading a story, she suddenly glanced up, expecting to meet someone's eyes. From the window she saw only the clean, bare street, and surely there was nobody in her well-ordered store. Still, she was uneasy. Could it be George Russel watching? Friday afternoon was not a busy time in the store. Milly did not expect anyone for some hours. As she sat reading, she again felt eyes, piercing eyes, upon her. Again no one was outside. Her eyes moved slowly, as if hypnotized, to the door in the rear of the room. They rested upon a towering man with a gun pointed at her. Having caught her gaze, he said in a cool, rough voice, Hand over the hun- dred dollar bill, quick! You got it from your aunt, didn't you? he sneered. Milly felt a great relief. It wasn't Georgeat all! How do you know about this bill? she demanded, sparring for time. N inety-two AND BLACK Don't matter how. l know it, that's all. Come across with that note, he threatened. Then Milly thought, lt's George's ac- complice! She had a Weary, sickening feeling and her merry face drooped sadly. Down tumbled her last defense for George. Taking the bill from the drawer, she was about to hand it to the intruder, when a stern voice commanded: Hands up! It was George Russel's voice! Handcuff him, commanded the same stern Voice to the constable just behind him. By this time, a crowd, probably in- formed beforehand by the too-conversa- tional constable, had assembled in and about the store. Suspicion on his face, the stocky con- stable shouted at George, Say, how did you know all about this-tellin' me t' come here? George was completely at ease. I-le replied, 'Tm going to tell you something, if you will give me a chance. I suppose it's about time I cleared myself, anyway. The crowd gathered closer, as he began. ln the first place, I was commissioned to catch a bold counterfeiter. Following on his trail, l figured that he would hide somewhere around here. So l went snooping around, as you all noticed so well. I had some success, for I found a counterfeit hundred dollar bill in a broken flowerpot in an old shack on the outskirts of the town. The counterfeiter, having heard that l was here, left in a hurry, probably forgetting this bill. Am l correct? George asked the prisoner. A snarl was the only reply. l 4 -2 .

So when l heard that Miss Bowden had a real hundred dollar bill, l was careful to let his spy know. Then l asked the constable to follow me here, for l expected that he would make a desper- ate dash. That's all. He handed the constable some official- looking documents, and while the latter painfully scrutinized them, George said to Milly, l'm sorry l had to do it in this way, but l knew no harm could come to you, and it was my only chance of catch- ing' him. Milly felt wretched. Oh, George! she cried, l acted horribly about that bill. l was testing you! Thais all right, George answered gently. l saw through it all the time, Milly, but l don't blame you. You cer- tainly had enough ground forsuspicion. Anyway, it was a help. The constable interrupted this tete-a- tete by returning the papers to George. He was departing with the prisoner, mean- while saying to the crowd, I-le's all right. Big detective from New York. The babbling crowd slowly dispersed, and by the many who were there, this day is regarded as the most exciting in Bal- four's history. Shortly afterwards, an interesting event occurred in the village. Wedding bells rang merrily for sweet Milly Bowden and good-natured George Russel. All the town was celebrating, and as the merry- making went on, Jim Meyers, once a de- voted admirer of Milly, remarked rue- fully: When a stranger comes to town he gets the best of everything-the greatest honors and the best girl.

He was so poor that he could hardly maintain himself and his family. His family consisted of a wife and son. His son, who was called Al, was a very careless and lazy fellow. He was dis- obedient to his father and mother, and would stay out in the streets and public places long into the evening, playing with idle children of his own age. Al started to high school, but he was so lazy and disobedient that he got into serious trouble. Mr. Mustapha chastised him, but Al clung to the habit he had formed, and his father was forced to abandon him to his idleness. This was such a grief to Mr. Mustapha that he be- came sick and died. Al, who was now no longer restrained by fear of his father, gave himself up en- tirely to his idle habits and was almost never out of the streets. One day, as he was playing, he met a boy not much older than himself. This boy, thinking to fool Al, ex- claimed, You have a remarkable resem- blance to an uncle of mine! Well, that isn't a crime, said Al. No, said the boy, but my uncle is a most peculiar man. When he wants any- thing to happen, he just wishes for it, and almost immediately, whatever he wished for, is granted. Al went away very much impressed by what he had heard. The next day an exceedingly hard Ninety-four problem came up in school. Al was sure that he knew how to solve this problem, but he could not explain the solution to the class. 'ii wish--,H he said, how I wish--.H Then suddenly he exclaimed, Why of course! He explained the problem to every one's satisfaction and to the great astonishment of the teacher. For home work the teacher told the boys and girls to review the work of the entire quarter, as she meant to give an examination the next day. Al was very much dismayed, particularly as he had already decided to hunt up his quaintance of the previous day for more particulars about this ous uncle. I wish we did not much home work, he thought. Suddenly the teacher wheeled about and said, HI have changed my mind about the home work for tomorrow. I wish you to bring IICW HC- and ask marvel- have so me in a composition, preferably about an experience. Al did not think this much better, but still it would not take so long. He came home and immediately sat down to do his home work. His mother was surprised, for he rarely studied. She glanced at him fondly, for in spite of all his faults she loved her son dearly. Although Al was very clever, now he could not think of a subject on which to write. I-le thought he would write about one of his experiences while on the streets, but in the bottom of his heart he fcontinued on Page 1843 ,FP T X i M '1 X MQKWS- ml P ETRY WY f f X' 4 ll ff-'44, Shag-Q L ! 2 tu L - x l 1 V4 '- ,I ' 'I - ,,., ,.. ,1 W , - - - ':u -2 A -e wxlnll I A 'Q 'T N W' T?

The occa- sion was particularly appropriate both for the Yale men present and for Central as a whole. Yale was jubilant over its sea- son of undefeated football together with a general victory in every major sport in the East. Central, on the other hand, was joyous because' of its perfect interscho- lastic football record, not only of this year, but of two successive years. As the result of her winning every league game of the past two years, the Yale Bowl was twice in succession brought to Central, an experience that, as yet, no other school has enjoyed. Such champions are worthy of celebra- tions, and for that reason the gathering was a success. We say champions, but that does not entirely mean the men who played on the fieldg it also includes the men who gave a great amount of thought and time toward the development of the team. To the coaches of the team, lVlr. Walker, lVlr. Hughes, and .lVlr. Friedle we offer our heartiest congratulations for their successful efforts in producing Cen- tral's eleventh championship machine. lVlr. Douglass presided at the meeting, and with a wise changing of events in program, he made the meeting most en- joyable. When lVlr. Walker rose to speak he was given a great ovation: a fitting tribute for one so dearly loved by the alumni, faculty, and student body. His characteristic modesty made it necessary for him to dwell on some other subject than the immediate one of the day, and in doing so he probably struck the keynote of popular opinion when he pleaded for a suitable stadium to be built by the peo- ple of St. Louis, in. which all outdoor mu- nicipal activities might be held. Mr. James l-l. Wear, President of the Saint Louis Association of Yale Alumni, presented the Bowl to John Trueb, cap- tain of the team, who in turn accepted it in behalf of the school. A unique and most impressive tribute was then made to lVlr. Walker. A man from each of the twenty teams that he has coached was called to the front of the stage and num- bered according to the ,year of his team. The men then circled round lVlr. Walker and joined in cheers for their coach. As their picture printed on the opposite page indicates, they are successful, busyciti- zensg yet they were glad of this opportu- nity to express in so unusual a way their respect for a man whom they all hold in high regard.

The membership has increased, and as a consequence, the Council has become rather unwieldy. Each advisory group elects a senior and junior member. The senior member at- tends the meetings. In case of absence- the junior member takes his place. The meetings are held every second Tuesday, in the school periods, and are rotated every meeting, so that too much time is not taken from one subject. The Council itself is too large to discuss some of the problems of the school with IVIr. Douglass. But this difficulty has been overcome by electing eight members from the groups and two from the Council at large. This group is called The Com- mittee of Ten. The members are: Anna Sagle, Eva Taylor, Catherine Crowder, Abstraction I looked, but saw nothing. I stretched out my arms and hit something. Yet I could see absolutely nothing. My knees trembled, my teeth chattered, my hands quivered. IVIy Heavens, had I gone sud- denly blind? No, no! It couIdn't be. Suddenly I relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. I had remembered that I was in a dark cellar at midnight. Dorothea Culauser, Loretta Nix, Katherine Brennan, I-Iarold Jackson, Charles IVIC- Nulty, Leslie I-Iunt and Charles Ambler, chairman. It was not thought necessary that the Student Council should take charge of the traffic, because the former traffic problem has resolved itself into one of the details of regular school life. The various things that are suggested and talked about in the Council are carried back to the various advisory groups by the particular member of each. Une of the big plans that as yet has not been carried out is the Scholarship Fund. The real purpose of the Council is to aid IVIr. Douglass, our principal, in solving some of the various problems that con- front the school. Poor Teacher Any abnormal children in your classes? asked the inspector. I Yes, replied the schoolmarrn sadly, ntwo of them have good manners. -Ex. ,illi- A Running Walk I thought you said it was only a ten minutes walk to the station! It is, if you run. -Ex.

They were now New Seniors. As they walked down the hall, their heads held just a trifle higher, pride surged up within them as they heard wide- eyed Freshmen murmur l..ook! They're New Seniors! K This term the New Seniors were quite late in organizing, but they have not allowed this to handicap them and they are determined to make their class one of the best that Old Central has ever turned out. Since it consists of l80 members, it is the largest of its kind ever organized at Central. ln addition to this, the class won distinction by breaking a long estab- lished custom and creating a new one. This was accomplished by adopting a new method of electing officers. lnstead of electing their officers in a single afternoon by the tedious process of elimination, the members chose their can- didates and put the discussion of them in the hands of a nominating committee of ten. At the next meeting this commit- tee presented the final list of candidates to the class, and the officers were elected by the preferential system of balloting. ln adopting this method, the class acted on lVlr. Douglass' suggestion, and it is his wish that the system continue to be used by future classes. As a whole, the class was pleased with the results of the election. The successful candidates were: President .......... ...... W illard SC!'iV1'1S1' Vice President ....... .Q ...... Marion Brown Treasurer ............ ..... l'l 0WarCl Boogher Secretary ,,,,,,,,,.,,,, ......., A llne l..Cl1lZ6I't Miss Langenberg, who has undertaken the sponsorship of this large class, has had no previous experience in this sort of duty, so the members of the class are particu- larly appreciative of her Work and anxious to help in any Way they can. Owing to late organization, the New Seniors were able to give only one party before the Christmas Holidays. This oc- curred on December l4, and was just a merry get-together enjoyed to the utmost by everyone. The class is planning some jolly times for their last term at Central, when they will not be forced to crowd all their activities into a limited amount of time.

This particular group represents 'those members of the school who upon the com- pletion of the subjects they are now tak- ing will be eligible for certificates in jan- uary, l924. There are 58 in allg 45 girls and 4 boys in the two-year stenographic course: 2 boys in the two-year bookkeep- ing courseg 6 boys in the two-year manual training course, and l boy in the two-year printing course. To those not previously informed, it may come as a surprise to learn that whereas fifteen years ago thenumber of vocational pupils in the school constituted about I0 per cent of the whole, they now number about 60 per cent. The total number of pupils in the school is approxi- mately 2500, of whom i000 pupils roughly speaking, are enrolled in the com- mercial courses, while about 500 pupils, 1 or 20 per cent of the school, are taking Work 7, in the domestic science, manual training, and printing departments, Of this number over one-third are enrolled in the two-year courses. indeed, if it were not for these courses most of these pu- pils would not be here, so we can .iustify them educationally on the ground that half a loaf is better than no bread, al- though some of these pupils do remain to complete the four-year courses. Nor is this condition of things confined to Cen- tral alone. It is safe to say that there are enough two-year pupils in the schools of Saint Louis to form a separate high school. Forty-nine of the pupils whose pictures are portrayed herewith are enrolled in the stenographxc classes of Missiliwing, Miss Karnpmann, and Mr. Coffey, whose train- ing, combined with that of their other teachers, will make these boys and girls, by the time they leave school, quite effi- cient. Besides his work as a teacher, Mr. Coffey has charge of the employment bu- reau, and in this capacity he is glad to aid these and other worthy students of Cen- tral High School in their efforts to obtain positions. But do these pupils make good? you ask. We'll say they do, and we know whereof we speak, for they have been tried out in the high school offices and in the offices of the Board of Education. Sev- eral hundreds of them are now employed by firms downtown, and many of them who started in years ago as office boys and girls, junior bookkeepers, and stenog- raphers, have now reached the rank of bank tellers, salesmen, and private secre- taries, while some now enrolled in the Junior Chamber of Commerce are mak- ing rapid strides towards the Senior Chamber. Any one doubting the truth of the above statements, or any one wishing in- formation in regard to pupils desiring em- ployment, is invited to call upon our em- ployment bureau.

It was enlarged, and a four- column page was substituted for the one of three columns previously used. The appearance of the paper was further changed by the substitution of a more elaborate caption for the former heading, which consisted only of straight printing. Another innovation has been the intro- duction of the various columns, each of which has a special heading and a dis- st is called The Pnyxn and is composed of queries sent in by the students, and the answers given to them. Next comes The Colyumf' written by a true colyumist, fone Rana Pipiens by namej, which is made up of short, pithy, humorous bits. Then there is the one which affords an outlet for the pent-up feelings of the Freshmen, entitled 'With The New Jays. Last comes the H 'High' Life and Letters, wherein the entire student body is given an opportu- nity of expressing itself, whether it be in verse or prose, in a serious or a humorous vein, in a complete story, or only in a tinct purpose. The fir paragraph. The News has ceased to be a mere chronicler of school happenings and ha become instead a reflection of the stu- dents themselves. The English classes, which embrace practically all the pupil in the school, have been given an oppor- tunity to contribute to the paper. Much of the material now being used has com from this source. ln addition to this, S S e i'The News contains accounts of any interesting events connected with Central. l-'lere againit is the students and not the faculty who do the reporting, for all news items are written up by the staff, which is composed entirely of students. The staff consists of twelve members, and any Tuesday afternoon they may be oom 122 working steadily from three to five under the capable supervision of two of Central's best Eng- found in R lish teachers. It is hoped that the younger members of the school will gradually be drawn into the staff, so that it will not consist entirely of raw recruits chosen so late in their school career that they g about the time they are beginning to un- derstand the structure and technique of newspaper work. To occupy a place on the staff is almost equivalent to taking a urnalism, for the members do every part of the work necessary in the publication of a periodical, even to cor- raduate just course in jo recting the proof and making up the The benefit to be derived from such training can scarcely be overesti- dummy. mated.

We have found among them the makings of real workers. Of course, primarily, the club depends on its old members. They are its supports, its pillars of strengthg but the new members must be given credit as the builders. The meetings of the society have been more productive of good work than for many terms. The girls are doing better work both individually and in groups. We owe this fact a great deal to Miss Bowen, our sponsor, who has brought to our notice, the value of loyalty and duty as the chief supports of an organization of any kind. The programs for the most part are varied, with stress laid upon debating. Each girl has an opportunity to participate in the literary work she prefers, or from which she thinks she will derive the most benefit. Original essays, current events, book reviews, extemporaneous speeches, debates, humorous poems, and one-act plays are composing our weekly pro- grams. As all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, We Jills had a play day, a picnic given at Forest Park in honor of the former president, the humble writer. She was presented with a gold and blue pin, an emblem of the society. On November 22, the members held a debate with the Boys' Literary Society, for the purpose-of helping those earnest TI-IE GIRLS' LITERARY SOCIETY Von Ohlcn workers to win the Oratorical Contest, which is to be held some time in Decem- ber. The subject was, Resolved: That All Cities of One I-Iunclred Thousand or Less Should Adopt a Commission Plan of City Management. The affirmative side of the question, upheld by Hannah I-Ierd, Ruth Fleisch- man and Margaret Gordon proved to be the better side. Although the boys gave better deliveries, the girls answered every question quite convincingly. We are also sponsoring CentraI's par- ticipation in the Girls' Interscholastic De- bate to be given later in the term. The preliminary speeches were made in the weekly meeting on November I5. The judges ranked the speakers in order of the excellence. From those best qualified the following girls were chosen for the Inter- scholastic Debate: Ruth Van Buskirk, Elise Greenwald, Mildred Dickey, Libby Inger, Goldie Steinberg, Hannah Herd, Margaret Gor- don. ' Miss Mott as usual lent her valuable assistance as a coach for the debate with the Boys' Literary and will also aid the girls in the Interscholastic Debate. She is never too busy to help us, for which we owe her a great deal of appreciation. Our valuable officers for the term are: President ,...................

With a large influx of new members, new material and new talent have been pro- vided for our debating teams and semi- annual plays. Enthusiasm and cheerful Cooperation have played a large part in our swift development and growth this year. As our semester play we put out a production which rivaled or even perhaps surpassed our famous, well-known mock trial. The play, entitled A Meeting of the Darktown Literary Society, con- sisted of the antics and wise sayings of the rather dark-faced and woolly-headed race. A sermon, i'Watch Yo' Step, by a negro minister seemed especially appro- priate to the occasion. The spice of the program, however, was a debate between the members of the society, Resolved, it ain't no crime to steal chickens. The decision, rendered after a search for razors and knives, was in the favor of the negative, whichever side that may have been. , The interesting programs we have had this term displayed our wise choice in the election of officers, who are as follows: President ---------............... . .Albert Gelfand Vice President ,,,,,,, ,-,,,.,.,,, S am Goldman Seflfefary ------................ Joseph Nessenfelcl Treasurer ---4-------.-........... Philip Goldman News Representative ,,..,,,,,,,,,,,, Sam Elsgn Among the outside speakers before the society this term was Mr. Douglass, who spoke on the force of habit and the value of good habits. Miss Watson displayed her skill as a versatile reader when she gave two short selections. Mrs. Ludlum also gave an enjoyable reading. The Work of debating, acting, and speaking went on as usual. ' Mr. Douglass, when in need of student speakers, nearly always turns to the Liter- ary Society. He did this in arranging the program for Armistice Day on November l l. All three speakers were members of the Boys' Literary Society. Our debating team, which met Cleve- land High on November 23, proved its worth although it lost by a two-to-one decision which did not show the closeness of the vote. The proposition of the de- bate was Resolved, that cities of l00,000 or less adopt the manager plan of city government. The team will meet Soldan on january I l. This debate will eliminate one of the teams from the race for the Princeton Cup. The team, consisting of Sam Goldman, Albert Gelfand, Sam El- son, and Joseph Nessenfeld, alternate, is doing its best to bring new honors to old Central. It is under the able supervision of Mr. Hoffman, and Mr. Killam, our Sponsor.

But it really is surprising to know the number of ways that the Co-C-Hi finds in which to be of service to the school. Owing to the temporary absence of their sponsor, Miss Matthews, the girls were a bit late in organizing this term, but their work has been none the less satisfactory because of this delay. At the club's first meeting, at which Mr. Douglass presided, Miss Dickman was chosen to act as sponsor until Miss Mat- thews' return. The Co-C-Hi is unanimous in its appreciation of Miss Dickman's service, the more so because the members realize it is an entirely new undertaking for her. The Co-C-Hi feels that since the large part of the success of a football team depends upon its rooters, they did their part in bringing the championship to Cen- tral again this season by selling a large per cent of the tickets to the various games. The girls were called 'upon again this term to serve in the capacity of ushers at the dress rehearsal of the Senior Class play which was attended by a large repre- sentation of the student body, and also at the evening performance when the au- dience consisted of persons who were not connected with the school. The shortage of help in the office due to Miss Southwick's resignation, was re- lieved in a measure by the girls who very willingly gave up their study periods that they might help with the filing of cards, answering of telephones, etc. A great deal of the success of the or- ganization this term has been due to the able' corps of officers who were elected in the first part of the term.

The Pepper Box 'is the only organization in the school that has for its express and dominant purpose the arousing and main- taining of school spirit. To prove that student support is essential to winning teams is to prove that the Pepper Box has a permanent place in the school. Let us take for example the football season just completed, or the previous season, from which Central emerged victorious. Dur- ing those two struggles for the Yale Bowl, the sale of tickets and the attendance at the games have been unsurpassed in the annals of the Red and Black. Last year's basketball season is another example. To recall a basketball championship before that time for Central would tax the mem- ory. But with the renewed activity of the Pepper Box, under Mr. l-libbert, things began to look brighter. By holding pep sessions, organizing the cheering, provid- ing cheer-leaders, placing tickets in the hands of almost every member of the school' and making pleas for support, the Pepper Box caused the winning spirit to invade the school. Let it be said to the credit of the student body that the wonderful support they ac- corded the team was the subject of com- plimentary comment by the other schools. The Pepper Box may justly be proud of its record during the past football sea- son. None could escape the spirit of the season instilled into the student body by the Box.', Prom the most lowly fresh- man to the most dignified senior, all made an effort to be at the games. If they could not be present in body they were there in spirit. Many a newsboy can tell the tale of excited youngsters demanding final football scores on the day of the games. One of the first acts of the season was the solution of a problem that had been unsolved for years. When the ball was in play near the stands, good sportsman- ship demanded that silence be maintained so that the players could hear the signals. To take advantage of the nearness of the team and encourage it without undue noise was the problem. When the team was on the 5-yard line and defending its goal from the attack of the invaders, a few words of encouragement might turn the tide of battle, while on the other hand, if the team was on the threshold of the enemy's goal a few words might instil in them the necessary fight to put the ball across the line. Flags, with a black H on a red background, were the solution. What an inspiring sight it must have been to the players to look into the stands and see the flags waving--flags that they knew were in the hands of over two thou- sand spectators, hoping that the Red and Black might emerge victorious. The officers of the Pepper Box are as follows: President ............. ..... Vice President ....... ..... Secretary ........... Treasurer ........ O1 ...John Trueb .Wm.

A c K DULCIMER CLUB By Helen Fleishmau E merry as the day is long, Theworld has ne'er enough of songg Make you the best of a happy day- None is e'er too old to play. What would the world do without music? - The Dulcimer Club has ever stood for the best that can be had in music. This club was organized under the direction of Miss Finn in September, l906. Mr. Bryan, who was principal of Central at that time, invited all girls who were interested in vocal music to meet in the auditorium, and the response was great, one hundred and four girls being enrolled the first live months. The girls united and received their charter, choos- ing L'Dulcimer for their name, lavender and white for their colors, and the violet for their flower. During the terms fol- lowing, the membership decreased to about an average of thirty. We have now limited our number of members to fifty, in order to get only the best of material, and we have now forty-seven members. Our membership is an ever- changing one. With each term some of our tried and true go out, and fresh ma- terial comes in. We have had a number of new members this term who are doing splendid work. Miss Arnold has been the sponsor for the past few terms and the girls have all been very faithful. Besides the regular Tuesday afternoon meetings, which all attend, we have two meetings a week during school hours, which enables each member to attend at least two rehearsals, and which assures her of school credit for the work. At the last election of officers the fol- lowing girls were chosen: president -,,,---,,,-.-,.,,,,...,,,,,,,, Nettie Scharf Vice President ............

As for having good times at our Wiener roast and party-just ask for in- formation on the subject of any girl who belongs to the Dulcimer. Anyone who is interested in good mu- sic will find it a rare treat to belong to Club of Central l-ligh School, and we invite all who are musical- the Dulcimer ly inclined into our ranks.

Harry Meyer NY mention of the band without due mention of lVlr. Kelbaugh, the sponsor, director, and main- stay of the organization would be incon- sistent. lVlr. Kelbaugh is a musician, and with his ability to play, instruct, and lead, he combines a pleasing personality and a thorough knowledge of boys. It is the latter asset that has for the past four years kept the standards of the band so high. The sponsor of a high school band finds his way beset with many difficulties. The continual coming and going of the members by graduation or other circum- stances tends to disorganize the group. The problem of practice is another diffi- culty that confronts the band. It is next to impossible to get the boys together after school hours because the majority of them 'work or have other occupations after school. All these difficulties could be solved, however, if the musical organizations were given proper support and not regarded in the school system as a side issue. Only a small portion of time is devoted to music. That is not as it should be, for music is really beneficial to those who interest themselves in it. If music teaches nothing else, it teaches coordination and cooperationg for if one member of a musical organization, be it band, orches- or harmony, the entire body would be thrown out of time. And really, is not that one of the problems off life? ls not that one of the fundamentals of success- keeping in time with the community and in harmony with our co-workers? So we find that musical organizations have their place in the high school sys- tem, since they further cooperationg and any organization that furthers that ideal should certainly be provided for in the high school curriculum. Why aren't the mu.sical organizations given better sup- port? Why don't more of us participate in their activities? Just as the football boys fought through every game, so did the band play through every game of the season. It was quite a sight to see the Red and Black banners and flags waving in the air keeping time to the music of the band. Nothing is as inspiring and nothing tends to keep up the spirit of the team and spectators as does a stirring band. march played by enthusiastic boys who have entered into the spirit of the occasion.

Central Ukulele Club is com- posed of fifty girls. Of these, the twelve best players are known as the lnner Circle. Theyxare able to play more difficult music than the other mem- bers, and also to help beginning members to improve. In the club we have not only ukuleles, but also a steel guitar, a banjo, four vio- lins, and a piano. This gives us the needed melody and harmony, as the ukulele is largely an instrument of accom- paniment. Besides, playing, the girls also sing the popular airs, so we are some- times known as Singing Accompanistsf' The club was established for the enter- tainment of others, and ourselves, and for learning the rudiments of chord-writing from melodies of popular and semi- classical music. We are learning the reso- lutions of major, and minor chords, key signatures, time, etc. This gives us an elementary knowledge of harmony and enables us to write our own chords from sheet music, since ukulele music is rather hard to buy. It also familiarizes us with the newest and best popular music. The club entertained the Cleveland Ukulele Club at Forest Park, 'where we became acquainted with their members and the work that they are doing. On I-lallowe'en, they invited our lnner Circle down to Cleveland, where we had a splendid time, having our fortunes told, and enjoying other Halloween frolics. We are expecting to have some joint prac- tices and entertainments with the Cleve- land Club. . Our club made its first public appear- ance this year at a joint entertainment with the Boys' Literary Society, on November l6. We gave two groups of numbers and the lnner Circle sang and played a parody on Tuck me to sleep in my old Tucky Home, complimen- tary to the colored minstrels of the Literary. We hold rehearsals twice a week in room 224. We expect to play in the auditorium a number of noon hours dur- ing the winter months. We are also already at work on our program for the Annual Spring Concert. give, in costume, as our piece de resist- ance the March of Toys, from Victor Herbert's Babes in Toyland. We have adopted a club pin, in the form, of a miniature Hawaiian ukulele with Central printed along the strings. We are keeping in touchi with our alumnae, thus adding one more link to their loyalty, and devotion to our alma mater. We expect to form an alumnae association We expect to S00l'1.

The occasion for this gath- ering was the election of officers for the present term. Those elected were: President ........................ Willard Scrivner Secretary-Treasurer..l-larry Vanderloecht News Representative .......... Ralph Brown Due to the delay on account of not receiving our music on time we were un- able to start our work immediately, but instead of regular practice each member was given an opportunity to exhibit his vocal ability by himself. The result was a series of shrieks and squawks, but all this has been remedied by the splendid work and direction of our sponsor, Mr. Bluthard. The club hopes to entertain the school in the near future. Another intention of the club is to take part in the Spring Con- be held at Cleveland is hoped that the stu- dent body will give its hearty support to help make the efforts of this organization cert which is to I-Iigh School.

On any occasion we'll play for youl It certainly would be very remiss to be- gin telling of the orchestra without speak- ing of Miss Arnold. It is she who has made the orchestra what it is today. A splendid interest is shown by all, for we have learned from her what cooperation means and that cooperation is the key to success, especially in an orchestra. We meet every Friday, the first and second periods. Our first appearance was at the Teachers' State Convention which was given at the Coliseum, December 6. Later we were asked to play at the Senior Class plays on the l3tl'1 and l4th of December where we played between the Grossman actsg and of course, we were in demand at commencement. Many of our members graduated in June, but as many new members readily answered to our call. Boys and girls who play musical instruments and who intend in the future to join an orchestra would be very wise to come in with us. If you don't play now, begin to learn on a new instrument next year. All those wishing to join will have an opportunity at the beginning of next term when Miss Arnold will have a tryout. Besides learning much in the orchestra, we find plenty of amuse- ment thereg so you see we have two motives in joining the orchestra: instruc- tion and entertainment. The following efficient officers were elected: President ...................... Alfred Fleishman Secretary-Treasurer ................

Many of our members are on the staffs either of The News or Red and Black. Others are active contributors to both. Our president, William Sems- rott, is at present editor-in-chief of the Red and Black. This term, as many of our number are seniors and new seniors, we have started out on a campaign for worthy members. The English teachers are asked to name worthy material in their classes and the fortunate persons will receive notes tell- ing them to report to the next meeting to become members of our organization. But if any one thinks that he has the ability, he should not wait for his English teacher to recommend him, but come right over to Room 316, any Wednesday after the ninth hour, and enjoy the fel- lowship and help he will meet there. We still continue the practice of having a member read a story he has written, be- fore the club, for the criticism and advice he will receive. Many stories have thus been criticized and corrected so that the author was able to present it for publica- tion in the Red and Black. Besides writing stories, we also branch out into the wide fields of essays, poetry, versification, and sketches. Joseph Nessenfeld, one of our prom- inent members, and a member of the Om' Hzwzdred and Tliirty-fam' Red and Black and The News staffs, has become almost an amateur artist of parody. Many of the poems in The News and Red and Black are the products of his genius. This term we have been very success- ful. Many of the members have had stories, sketches, and poems accepted by the Red and Black. We have im- proved both in the art of writing, and in the art of criticism. Our criticism is not only destructive but constructiveg and in the society of the senior members of the club the junior members are developing rapidly. At various intervals we receive letters from former members of our club who are continuing their education in higher schools. Herman Salinger, President of last term, is now at Princeton and doing very well. Joseph Weisman is now in New York University and writes that he has become a member of the freshman debating team. Francis Ruth, one of our prominent members is at present at Wash- ington University and is progressing very nicely. In our choice of officers we have been particularly successful.

ETIQ THE ATHLETIC COUNCIL . . ., , 'A Q I-,., fx, Pi? - - al Q , ' . .I ii, Fl ll 4, 3 'F T H E 'R E ID A N D B L A C K FOOTBALL By Alfred Fleislzman F those representatives of the human the team more than made up for the poor family that assembled at Coach 'Walkefs request for football candi- dates, could be called football players- then football is a funny game. ln the assembled multitude there were three captainless veterans. Only a few of the others knew anything at all about foot- ball. But a high school coach, of neces- sity, becomes used to developing inexpe- rienced material, so work began on the next day. Coach Walker lays no claim to being called miracle man, wizard or any of the epithets applied to many other coaches. He goes about his work in a thorough, business -like manner, and teaches the boys football from its funda- mentals to its highest essential-team- work. After a few weeks of practice, the Alumni called for a game of foot- ball. The result of that game was not one that tended to make Coach Walker and his assistants jubilant over the pros- pects of another Yale Bowl year at Cen- tral. That game of football was queer, to say the least. The scrimmage was not the concerted action of eleven men, united in actiong rather, it was the mass action of eleven individuals fighting for themselves. A few Weeks later Western Military Academy won its first game from Cen- tral in nine years. The score was 2-U. Western's score came as the result of a dropped pass. Ragged though the at- tack was, the defensive fighting spirit of showing. Those games were enough. Coach Walker knew his problem. What he lacked in stars had to be made up in teamwork. The other practice game be- gan to show an improved brand -of foot- ball, that is, each player began to real- ize that there were ten others on the team besides himself, fighting for the same cause. Strange indeed were the fates that scheduled Soldan as the first game on the Central program. Stranger still. when one realizes that Central was supposed to have had one of the weakest teams in years, 'and Soldan the strongest in three years. The comparative scores of the pre-season games indicated that Central was not ready for the hardest game of the seasong but no matter what the odds, Coach Walker never lets up on his men for a minute. He expects of his weakest teams that which he expects of his most highly developed, Va never - say - die spirit. Day after day the boys were drilled with the basic principle of foot- ball, teamwork, teamwork, and more teamwork. Principia barely held Soldan to a 6-6 tie, while Central was submerged by a 25-7 score. Prospects were decidedly dark for the Red and Black. Only a few days remained before the Soldan game. Coach Walker, when asked what might be expected on Sat- urday, would make no definite answer. But of one thing he was sureg one an- One Hmfzdred and Tlziafty-iiiue FOOTBALL TEAM X 'fT'f-T' . .,'5.L:-'. fi? . . W? azjlf E :P- 42w'r7f' fl? 4. r mg? L -f4?j Leia. 3 . . .-...?.

If they go down to defeat, it will not be in any manner that the school need be ashamed. Re- gardless of the outcome they will leave the field with colors flying. l feel that my boys will give a good account of themselves. That is Coach Walker. That is how he trains his lads. The boys are assembled in the club- house. There remain but a few minutes before game time. Coach Walker is talk- ing to the boys. He is standing in the center of a group of silent youngsters. His eyes flash, his fists are clenched, and he stands erect in the center of his squad. Boys, Mike Walker tells them, we are playing a strong team today. But that should make no difference. It means that we shall have to fight harder than We have ever fought before. It means that We must give all that we have in us. Old Central needs this game! The school has placed its faith in you-you must not fail! l want you to come off the field winners of this game. But I want you to win squarely. Play the cleanest and hardest game that you know how! The coach stops. Silence is upon the group., Not a sound, not a move and Mike Walker goes on: Boys, and he pauses, l want you to win this game fairly. His Voice rises, and he goes on, Ulf you can- not win it according to the rules, then l had much rather that you lose it. The coach faltersg he attempts to speak, but he cannot go on. The boys fasten on their headgear. They give a final pat to their shoulder pads. They tighten their belts and pre- pare to go out to meet Soldan. Not a and not a voice utters a sound is heard They do not look at each single syllable. other, their eyes are cast to the ground. Mike Walker, their beloved coach, has spoken and they have heard. Boys, go out now and give a good account of your- selves, I can say no more. The coach has spoken again and they are ready. A knock is heard on the door. The door is opened and a messenger brings in a telegram. Some one tears open the envelope. It is from Jim Lincoln. jim had played with Central many years back. He had helped Coach Walker round his team into form, and business had called him away from the Soldan game. The telegram reads: Boys, go out and fight for your school and for dear 'old' 'Mike' Walker. Beat Soldanln Again silence reigns. The referee's whistle is heard. The boys rush out on the field. The fate of Central is in capable hands. The game is over. The noise has long since died away. The gridiron is inhab- ited only by a few stray bottles and papers. A telegram is flashing across the wires to Jim Lincoln. The telegram reads: Jim, we beat Soldan. The score was I9-U. Signed: Coach Walker and the Team. On November IO, the Blue and Gold arrived at High School Field for a tussle with the Red and Black lads on the grid- iron. The heavy Yeatman brigade pushed over a touchdown about three minutes after the referee had called play. The boys had gone into the game 'chock full of confidenceg for had they not beaten Soldan? They took things easy for the Om Hundred and Forty-one WT: ,J Y N..

After an exchange of punts Solomon Goldberg dropped the ball on his own l0-yard line and a Yeat- man end recovered on the 7-yard mark. ln one down they pushed the ball over the line and the Yale Bowl suddenly took wings unto itself. The boys lined up for the kick-off-it must have been the kick-off because they were all kicking each other-but may it be said to the credit of the team, that the Fight they displayed in going after that Yeatman team was an inspiration. They ploughed through the Blue and Gold aggrega- tion with the inevitable result that the score was tied a few minutes aft- erward, when Bill Thom- as scurried through the Yeatman line for a 32- yard run and a touch- down. I-lad it not been for the long punts of Hannegan, the Yeatman 1 AND BLACK game was ours at the rate of 20-6. Often have we heard of four-minute speakers, but until Saturday, November 17, at 3:04 P. lVl., we had never heard of four-minute football teams. To make the point clearer, Central on that day played Cleveland in a game that was to decide the championship. The four- minute speaker says what he has to say in four minutes, though he could say the same thing in an hour. N Central scored what she had to score in four min- utes, and let Cleveland say what she had to say during the rest of the hour. Cleveland, we are sorry to say, could not say enough to offset what had been said by Central in her four-minute at- tack. It came about in this manner. The game started promptly at 3 p. m. Cen- tral kicked off to Cleve- land and after two inef- ace, the score would have totaled higher. As it was, Gold- berg, Braznell and Thomas made it so hot for the opposition that in the last quarter their line gave almost at will. Two long runs by Thomas and Ginsby brought the ball to the enemies' 20-yard mark, and just to prove that they could forward pass as well as they could plunge, Braznell called for Thomas to send the ball to Lit- tle Twign Kittlaus Via the aerial route, across the Yeatman goal. Goldberg waited for a few seconds after the kick-off and scored another touchdown. The One Hzlfzdred and Forty-two fective attempts at the line and an incomplete forward pass, the Orange and Blue punted. Central ran the ball back to the Cleveland 45-yard line, and on the next play Goldberg, surnamed Solomon the Wise, carried it the entire distance for a touchdown. The time was exactly 3:03 P. M. Cleveland kicked off to Central and on the second down Goldberg again took the ball-over the line, this time negotiat- ing sixty-five yards, for the touchdown. The time was exactly 3:04 P. M.

TO THE RESERVES By Alfred FIeish1mm HE team comes off the field victo- rious. They are cheered, they are lauded. The players' hands are shaken until they are numb. Their backs are patted until they can scarce straighten them. Congratulations are showered upon them and the band strikes up Hail the Conquering Hero Comes. In the rear of the heroes come a few straggling huddled-up, blanket-bewrapped individuals. Smiles are on their faces and joy is in their hearts, for has not their team been victorious? We glance at them for one second and in another second we have forgotten them. Our thoughts are on the victory, on the team. Month after month, week after week, day after day, those whom we have long forgotten, have been working. Day fol- lows day and they repeat the same gruel- ing grind. They are generally battered and thrown around. They know and real- ize that no reward, no public reward, will be theirs. But they do not quit. They plug along day after day. Ono Hzmdred and Forty-fomf ln their hearts, beneath those aching bones, there is a satisfaction. They have given to the extent of their ability, all that they have possessed. For what? For whom? For themselves? Indeed not: they gain nothingg but for their school, their Alma Mater, that so seldom appre- ciates fully the loyal service they have ren- dered. Should you have occasion to meet these boys, stand up and take off your hats, figuratively speaking, at least, for they have been tried and not found wanting. Such men are Coach Hughes' reserves. Such are the men that Central develops. They come and they go, but many of them we do not know. These are the men who were factors in Central's 1923 champion- ship: Sylvester Colligan, Walter Young, Earl Brown, Theodore I-luissen, Joe Trigg, George Cameron, Milton Richards, Har- old Binkley, George McCaslin. .- . xi., . i 's ft .

After several months of indoor training under the excellent coaching of Mr. Marriott and Mr. Kittlaus, the track team began out- door practice at High School Field. This field was the only place available, as Cen- tral at that time did not have her field in the rear of the school. Later on, dual practice meets were arranged with other high schools. Central, however, won only one of these, losing to McKinley and Cleveland, and winning by a small mar- gin from Yeatman. The first big meet of the year was the Mississippi Valley Track and Field Meet, sponsored by Washington University. This meet was won by Scott! High School. Central was able to score only four points, Rebscher placing second behind Geyer of East St. Louis High School in the 880- yard rung and Kittlaus taking fourth place in the shot put. Central entered a few seniors in the Municipal Track and Field Meet, more for the practice and experi- ence that the members of the team would get than for winning places. When the meet was over Central had three points to her credit. Our relay team composed of Crucknell, I-luissen, Kittlaus, and Reb scher placed fourth. Rebscher, running against fast competition, finished third in the S80-yard run. ln both the Mississippi Valley and Muny meets, Central was handicapped, a several of her sure point-getters wer S C On May 29, 1923, the thirteenth an- nual Track and Field Meet was held at Francis Field. Although Cleveland had strong competition from both iVlcKinley and Soldan, yet she won the Cornell cup. As a team, it is true that Central was completely outclassedg yet the good per- formance of several members of the team is worthy of note. John Weigant, a southern product and a newcomer at Central, scored first for Central, tying for fourth place in the senior pole vault. Our high-jumping artist, Ray Kutterer, who had been doing 68 inches in prac- tice, was able to do only 64iinches in Winning first place in this event. ln his last race on the cinder track for Central, Louis Kittlaus, Jr., finished fourth in a record-breaking mile run. The new record betters the old one by nearly three seconds. When Dil Gockel tied for second place in the senior high -jump and finished fourth in the 220-yard dash, he earned his fifth letter of the year. Rollyn Smith, captain of the junior team, ran a thrilling race in taking a close second in the senior 220-yard low hurdle. As captain of the junior team Smith is to be complimented on his fine work. Alvin Margulis, competing without any previous practice or conditioning, showed wonderful stamina in finishing third in the senior 440-yard dash. Om' Hzmdwd and Forty-fit'e ,lr . :fi ii: A..

The old record for this run was 2:5 :I made by l-lennings of Soldan in l920. Theo. Huissen, Ralston Ramsay, Sol Goldberg and Andrew Signorelli, com- posing Central's senior relay team, placed third. Howard Lawler, Central's junior broad- jumping ace, took an easy first in this event, falling about six inches short of the record. Despite an injured knee, Carl Beckers, junior high-jumper, tied for second place. After running a close second in the junior 220-yard dash for nearly the full distance, James Hamilton slowed up at the finish. He was passed, however, by two opponents and finished fourth. Marion Dillingham, competing in the midget division, scored eight points for Central. Dillingham sprinted to an easy victory in the 75-yard dash and took second in the shot put. Both Dillingham and the winner of the event put the lead pellet more than ten feet further than the old record. ln a fast 50-yard dash, Gus Offstein and Milton Linder placed third and fourth, respectively. By taking fourth place in the midget shot put, William Seltzer added one more point to Central's total. For the splendid assistance that they gave Coaches Kittlaus and Marriott in organizing the midget and senior division, track letters were awarded to Ralph Amos and to Howard Crucknell. At the present time the track outlook for i924 is not very bright, as several of our track stars will be lost by graduation. The acquisition of our new athletic field, however, should have the tendency to produce more and better track stars than Central has ever had before. TENNIS By Sol Sigolorff HE Red and Black team won two matches, two participants each win- ning a match. However, there were many close matches in the series of contests, especially those of the doubles team, in which the breaks of the game decided each match. As is often the case, the results of this year's competition do not fully show the efforts of the team. The boys who played in the interscholastic tennis tournament held at Triple A, Forest Park, the first week of October, are to be commended One Hundred and Forty-.six on their showing, for it is not inspiring to them to play for Central when so few students come out to spur them on. These fellow-students of yours practised consistently and diligently and need your support as well as any other athletic team. A few students watched the matches this year and it is hoped that those who think that tennis is not to be classed as a great sport will watch the matches next year and see how far-fetched their thoughts are. Years ago tennis was thought of as a 'Y - 'Wits-fisg 'Q A ,Q jg., ci ,-jgsp: , Y ,, gf,,f ' jglluqi 2 --Q,-g,,y,f 'grit-ggfg, W ' t Q nf 'ia 1 l 'T' ..... :mi ' - I ff ' - .. ' N ' fi .

This idea has long since been exploded, as the interest of the great crowds which attended the Davis Cup matches, the memorable struggles of William Tilden III and William John- ston, conclusively show. But still there is a great mass of people that discredit tennis as a sport. But is there any game in which mental alertness, quickness to see an opponent's weak points, and mak- ing use of the proper plays at the right time, give more benefits? No, there is not. Moreover, in football, as well as basketball, there is a group of players who will cover up the mistakes of one of their membersg but in tennis, when a par- ticipant goes into a contest, he must figure out his own plays and depend upon him- self, for he has no one to cover up his mistakesg and the grit which he must exercise is as vital to him as the fighting spirit is to a football player. He needs this fighting spirit even more than a foot- ball player because he has no one to spur of the most promising of recent years. With the nucleus of three letter men, John Kinker, Dudley Brewer, and Sid Smith, who have had experience in this year's tournament and who are bound to im- ear's season, the future is indeed bright. ln addition, a few other boys have shown promise. Last but not least, the boys will be fortunate in again having as their leader Mr. Christenson, a man who has shown himself to be every- thing that the term coach implies. The above outlook for next year's team will be further brightened, if the fervor for this sport is increased, and if the ma- terial in Central which has not previously to the call for candidates will report. These conditions coming to pass, Central will have tennis teams of such strength that they will vie with the ularity. Let next n be: l..et's all get behind the prove with a y responded other sports for pop year's sloga tennis team. as follows: .Sol Sigoloff .....Dudley Brewer The line-up this term was First singles .....,............-.--.---- Second singles ......

A. A. By Cathevfine Crowder ' ' cl h I-HS year Miss Sullivan was absent from school for six weeks, owing to illness, and the honor system that she had worked out so completely, with a class representative as head of each class was given a thorough tryout. Miss l-laeseler visited each class for a few min- utes every period to make announce- ments concerning the hikes an ot er phases of the general work of that de- partment, but otherwise the girls were on their own. It was a great disadvantage nconvenience not having a teacher, but we managed until Miss Sullivan's re- ever received and i turn, and surely no teacher so glad a welcome.

It seemed as if Jupiter Pluvius were conspiring against us, for he was certainly very gen- erous with the rain. Time after time, matches were postponed. Corinne Griese- baum won the singles title, but owing to aforementioned conditions the class win- ners in the doubles were not able to com- plete their matches for school winners. The tournament is arranged according to classes. The ones, twos, and threes, for example, play off their Hrst games with other ones, twos, or threes, until a class winner, champion of her class is chosen. Then the class winners, eight in singles, sixteen in doubles, play among themselves until the one girl-in doubles the partners-is eventually declared. This all takes time in so large a school as Centralg and when one is working un- der obstinate weather handicaps, it is exceedingly difficult to finish before the end of the season. Marie Boggiano and ,lane Bruce were the students in charge. Field Hockey This sport was played on the grounds just south of the Jefferson Memorial ten- nis courts. The game is somewhat simi- lar to soccer in formation and rules, but instead of kicking, a stick is used to move the ball. The teams were not arranged according to classes but according to girls' schedules. Those girls whose programs ended at 2:30 or earlier, formed four teams, while those whose programs were completed at 3:l0 formed two more teams. Every Thursday when there was One Hundred and Forty-'eight AND BLACK school, and when the weather permitted, these six teams gathered and played until dark. On several Thursdays there was no school, as on Thanksgiving, and the Week of the Teachers' Convention, so we were forced to miss-practice on those days. Indoor Baseball on the Campus Something new was started this term for the girls of Central. The new campus back of the school was blocked off into four baseball diamonds. This was clone with bag bases and rubber home plates, which the girls carried out with them. Once a week during the regular gymna- sium period, the two classes-one in B9, another in B l 0-go, by a circuitous route through the alley at the south side of the school, to the field and immediately begin to play. Each class is divided into as many teams as is advisable, nine, ten, or in some cases eight, on each team. The girls were instructed by Miss Haeseler in all the rules of the game before ever ven- turing out to play. Most of the girls were familiar with the game, nevertheless there was much laughter on the part of all at the wild throwing and batting. A great deal of improvement has been shown, however, and the girls have developed a greater liking for the game. Hikes There have been four hikes so far this year. Miss McKinney had charge of the two hikes for the ones and twos-the first, was Hve miles, and the second ten. Miss l-laeseler had charge of the hikes for the girls of the upper classes. The first hike for them was nine and a quar- ter miles, the second, thirteen and three- quarter miles.

Loma A MODERN ALADDIN fC01fzfi1zfued From Page 9-lj was just a triHe ashamed of them, and did not wish to have his teacher and fellow-pupils hear about them. As he absently looked around the room his glance fell on his mother. Her rapidly graying hair proved that she wor- ried a great deal over what they would do when their money was gone. Al- though his father had bravely tried to in- sure against his dying, and leave them prepared to cope with the world, his sav- ings had been small, and now they were steadily decreasing. The widow WoL1ld have taken Al out of school and started him to work had she thought he would be able to keep a position. His lazy hab- its, she thought, would prevent him from remaining at Work for even a few hours a day. As A1 now looked at his mother he thought, l wish mother and l were more like pals. Perhaps it is my fault. l won- der if she could help me. I'll try any- way. He went up to her and asked her whether she knew of any subject for a composition. His mother, delighted to help him, immediately thought of a sub- ject. When the boy had finished his home work, instead of going out into the streets, he sat and thought of what the stranger had told him. Even he himself had had three wishes granted that day, but one was merely coincidental and the other two had been obtained by exercis- ing his will power. Perhaps this boy's uncle also obtained his desires by going One H undrnd and Eighty-four to work, and thus making them. come true. Right now Al's desire was to help his mother. He determined to find some work. As he went out he kissed his mother on the forehead. This unusual act brought the tears to her eyes, for it showed that her boy was not so heartless as many believed. Al knew that the druggist might need a boy to help him. The drug store was not far off, and he soon reached it. He went in and asked for the position. Al- though the druggist did not think Al would stay there long, he decided to give him a trial, for everyone liked the boy for his ready wit and good humor. He proved very satisfactory. During the day he went to school. ln the late afternoon he started to work. He took his books with him, and when there were no customers in the store, he did his home work. His earnings though small, helped greatly, and the pride which Mrs. Mustapha felt in her son soon brought the laughter back to her lips and courage to her heart. Al had determined to win. He parted with his bad habits and worked hard. His grades in school were much better than they had ever been before. He made friends with boys and girls in school who were good companions for him. He was liked both by his employer and the customers. It was not the wishing for things which brought them to passg it was the ability to go out and make them possible. , A td 581 hiting Siuhin SID VVHITING BELL.
