MISSOURI Uwm...1,umW, MMM--M-.W..nm...wwmww,m M, WW Mm MISS EMMA P. SIMMONS THE EMMA P. SIMMONS MEMORIAL FUND ISS EMMA P. SIMMONS gradu- ated from the St. Louis Normal School in the class of January, l869. I-Ier name appears in the list of teachers for the year 1869-I870. For six years she taught in the elemen- tary schools. In january, I875, she was transferred to the Branch High School No. I, where she taught until her transfer in ISBI to the Central High School, then Iocated on Fifteenth and Olive Streets, in the building first erected for it, which was dedicated March 24, I856. I-Ier connection with the Central I-Iigh School was continuous from that time until she resigned in June, I9I5, on ac- count of failing health. Her record as a teacher in the St. Louis schools was most remarkable, showing the highest rating throughout her entire connection with the schools, as judged by those whom she assisted. She taught because she loved the work and not merely as a livelihood. She was deeply interested in her pupils, whose future progress she noted after they had passed out of her hands, recalling the elements of character they disclosed while in the school, which were indicative of their future. She found her deepest satis- faction in their growth and development into the fullness of the stature of manly men and womanly women, intelligent, energetic, upright. She devoted herself to her work with- out limit of time or energy and exacted of no one as much effort as she herself put forth in her own preparation and in her instruction. A calm exterior veiled an intense nature and a scrupulous con- scientiousness. For many years, the subject of her study and her teaching was Latin, which was well suited to her painstaking, accu- rate disposition and afforded an efficient instrument for developing in the character of her pupils those traits which she most valued and most assiduously cultivated in herself and in those whom she lived to teach. There could be no more significant memorial to her half century of purpose- ful teaching, by which she sought to lay a firm foundation for useful, effective, worthy, serviceful living, than that which her loyal sisters, faithful to her memory, have established in the expectation that the fund of five thousand dollars they have endowed will help many earnest and capable boys and girls obtain the educa- tion they desire and so fulfill the purpose of the Central I-ligh School, that its pupils may have life and have it more abun- dantly. In grateful recognition of years of lov- ing, devoted, fruitful service rendered the pupils of the Central I-ligh School, this volume of the RED AND BLACK is dedi- cated to the gracious memory of this esteemed teacher.

'35 BOUT the year lS70, in a little vil- lage in the foothills of the Ozarks, there lived an old man who was known throughout the vicinity as Doc Halleyhorn. His father and mother had come to the village when there were few inhabitants in that part of the country. ln those days many people who lived in that district believed in witches. As it happened, everyone in this village be- lieved in them and Doc Halleyhorn was known to be able to cure people who had been overpowered by witchcraft. One story that was always connected with Doc was the tale of Witch Hill, a large hill that was near the village. Witch Hill was supposed to be haunted by witches, and people believed that no one could go over this hill without dis- aster. This idea grew from the experi- ence that Doc's father had had. It seems that when Doc was five years of age, his father took his ax and started for fire- wood. When he reached the top, he stumbled and fell, and though he tried to get up, he could not do it, for his ankle was sprained. From a small tree near by he cut a stick about three feet long and an inch thick. With this he helped himself down the hill but not without mishap, for when passing a thorn bush, a thorn pierced his arm and broke off short. He finally reached home and asked his wife to fix up his ankle, but said nothing about the thorn in his arm until about a week afterwards when it began to pain him usumpin awful as he had described it to his wife. When she looked at it, she saw that he had blood poisoning. Because no one in that vicinity could cure blood poisoning, he died and was buried in the village cemetery but was not forgotten by the people, because of his sudden death, which they thought was caused by witches who lived on the hill. His son Albert, better known as Doc, grew to manhood with a faint recollection of his father, but he knew well the story of his queer death. When he was about twenty, his mother died, and he inherited, along with the other property, the stick his father had cut from Witch Hill. As he prized this stick very highly, he carried it with him all the time. Now, as the story goes, Doc was visit- ing a very sick man who was supposed to be charmed by witches, and while sit- ting near the bed of his sick friend, his stick fell from his hand making a loud noise that echoed throughout the house. Immediately the sick man felt stronger, rose up, and walked into the other room. The natives of the village could not understand this unusual event, so they explained it by saying that Doc Halley- horn could drive away witches with the aid of his stick, which they knew had come from Witch Hill. There is just one more happening which the natives thought quite unusual. A certain farmer's son, who was about nineteen, went to visit the daughter of an old lady who was accused of witchcraft.

He became very ill and was forced to go to bed. Knowing that his son had been to the home of a woman who was accused of witchcraft, the old farmer thought that his son had been charmed by her. Having heard of Doc Halleyhorn and his power to drive away witches, he thought it best to send for him. Upon arriving, Doc took his stick, that was now famous, beat on the bed, on the floor, under the bed, and on the walls of the room to drive away the witches. The farmer's son soon was well and gave his thanks to Doc Halleyhorn for saving him from a miserable death. Al- though the natives of this small village believed that this was true, whether the farmer's son was really charmed by witchcraft, l do not know. If I were asked for my opinion, l would say that the boy was only sick from drinking a great quantity of cold water when he was hot. OUR OLD RED FORD By Del Burdick. '33 Poor Romeo is ten years old. But he is worth his weight in gold. They say the gas tank leaks, and yet, Whenever we want to go. we get Into our old red Ford. The sun was shining bright one day, My friends and I were feeling gay Enough to take a bouncing trip. Yes, even if the gears did strip. In our old red Ford. lVe now were started on our way, The bus was running smooth that day. XVe passed the Cadillacs and Stars, And every single form of cars, In our old red Ford. A sign which stood beside the road Did show in automobile code A boulevard stop in letters red: My pals and I went right ahead In our old red Ford. Eighteen And still another one we saw To make us keep within the law. Detour it said in letters black, But we were over without a slack, In our old red Ford. And here's another of those things, But Romeo was made with wings. So fifteen miles on curves is slow For this gay gang of us to go In our old red Ford. There was one thing that made us stop. Perhaps you know of him-the cop. For ever since this car Hrst ran. We ditch the cop whene'er we can, In our old red Ford. So if you see us going along. You're sure to hear a happy song, And Romeo will be our friend, As we travel on to the very end, In our old red Ford. FQ. s.u. ' Pi' ADVENTURES OF MY GRANDFATHER CHUN A TRUE STORY By George Young, '35 HUN was born on a farm near Pekin. His parents were hard- working farmers, who were con- tented and happy with their lot. But their happiness was not to last, for when Chun was but four, a band of mountain robbers swept down to destroy the farm- houses and kidnap the people in order to hold them for ransom. Chun's parents were so excited that they left him sleep- ing in his bed, and ran to gather pro- visions from the barn before escaping. When they discovered that they had left Chun, it was too late to try to rescue him, for the bandits had already arrived at their farmhouse. The best they could do was to hope that the bandits would not notice him. Chun, who was awakened by the noise the intruders made in breaking into the house, hurried to the outside rooms, and started to do what the strangers were doing. No doubt he thought the strangers were helping the family move at night. He worked diligently not realizing that he was to be kidnaped by the men that he was helping. After the bandits had taken all they wanted and started to de- part, a tall man seized Chun and carried him off. Nineteen 4 ,152 li jf' Y fn T ..... ..r : M 1 r Ii' '.,.

'mllllllllllwllllllllllllllllm When he awoke next morning and found he was in a strange place, he cried for his mother. He disturbed the bandits greatly, and they tried their best to cheer him. After many a trial the men suc- ceeded in making him stop crying, and were thankful for a little rest. As time went on, Chun became used to the new life and home, and forgot about his early life and parents. He spent sev- eral years doing hard work-carrying water, keeping things orderly, and some- times helping the cook with her work when he had time to spare. He mingled with the band when they were at home at night, and some of them were kind enough to teach him to read, for education was an important factor in China at that time. He inquired about his parents-if he had had any. The bandits, to tease him, told him he was found in the moun- tains. Some were so convincing that Chun actually believed that he never had had any parents. But an old woman, who cooked for the band, took pity on him, and told him the truth-that his mother was living and that the bandits were de- manding a ransom from her. Chun, who was now twelve years old, had, up to this time, been very fond of the bandits. But now he greatly disliked them for what they had done to his mother, and he planned to escape. The cook, to whom he had told his plans, gave him directions to town, and also gave him some money that he might need. At nightfall he crawled out of his little shack while the bandits were sleeping peacefully on. He would run a distance, rest for a time, and, while he was resting, he would eat some food that he brought Twenty with him. He kept this up until he reached the outskirts of the town. It was nearly noon, and as he was very tired, he looked for a place to rest. He came in sight of the public house and started to go in to ask information as to the whereabouts of his mother. To his surprise, he saw a reward posted for the capture of the bandits, who had robbed the E.mperor's shipment of valuable pos- sessions. The army captains in the terri- tory of the bandits, were to supply the needed amount of soldiers to capture the bandits. Chun hurried over to the Cap- tain's tent and tried to explain to the :Captain that he knew where the bandits were and could lead him to the place. Finally, the captain agreed to go with Chun. They mounted the horses that were ready and started off with a troop of forty soldiers. After riding a while, the Captain grew suspicious and threatened to beat Chun if he was telling a lie. But they rode on until Chun led them into unfamiliar coun- try. They rode a little way up a moun- tain and came in sight of the robbers' den. Chun cautioned them to be as quiet as possible. They surrounded the camp and surprised the bandits. The fight was a short one, but it was a desperate one while it lasted, for each one of the bandits was doomed to die if he was caught. There were only six captured, the rest were either slain or escaped. After they arrived at the town, Chun found out where his mother was living. He hurried to the house. His mother was overjoyed to see him, although she did not recognize him at first until Chun told her who he was. -?f is wit ? 1 pl rl me stlltifiniil , i. ..'- U AX. Q .rx ,nr it ,',..- p kg.

KISS By Ethel Mastin. '34 One autumn night a small bright leaf Danced on a tall old tree, And as she danced, a gay young man Came tripping o'er the lea. Kind Sir, who are you? asked the leaf. Said he, My name is Jackg Give me a kiss from your red lips, And I will give it back. And so alas this foolish leaf, Did grant him his one boon, And she crumpled grownward. brown ana' dead. Beneath the harvest moon. SUMMERXS GHOST By Arthur Roux, '34 Who in February has not thought of summer? And has not sat and dreamed of the things gone past? While the sleet rattles on the roof overhead, And the ire burns in the furnace below stairs. Then summer comes softly and without footsteps like a ghost. Twenty-one Twenty-two WH O? By Emil S. Brock.

'llllllllllll'lllllllllllllllDll WHY HURRY? By Cordula Knoerschild, '33 ERNICE and Mabel were sisters, at- tending the Washington High School. Their mother and father were away on a visit while the girls kept house. . One morning Bernice suddenly awoke to find the sun streaming through the windows. She quickly glanced at the innocent-looking clock on the dressing table. Those awful hands pointed to a quarter after eight. ln a moment Bernice was out of bed. Mabel, Mabel, wake up! she cried, shaking Mabel and trying to dress at the same time. ulrluh? What's the matter with you? asked Mabel, sleepily rubbing her eyes and looking around. Oh, dear. Do hurry. lt's quarter after eight and we shall be late for school. l told you you would forget to set the alarm, answered Bernice, in one breath. Hurry up. ln three minutes both girls were dressed. They dashed downstairs, grabbed their books, hats, and coats, and left the house. They were in such a hurry they didn't even eat breakfast. Mabel ran ahead of Bernice. 'iohl look, Bernice, there's our bus at the corner. Let's run, cried Mabel. Puff-puff-l am not-puff-going to run any more-puff-puff. l am-puff- all out of breath, said Bernice between gasps for air. She began to walk. Mabel had already reached the bus and stood irresolutely on the first step. I- Twenty-four l'm waiting for my sister, she managed to say. The four men who were seated in the bus laughed. One said, You picked out a mighty funny place to wait. Now it looks as if we'll have to wait with you. Yes, sir. It does, Mabel stammered, not knowing what else to say. When the men laughed again, the blood rushed to her face. just then Bernice ran around the cor- ner, panting and puffing. The sisters walked inside the bus and sat down. ln a moment Bernice gasped. The bus was turning around the corner instead of going down the street. We must be on the wrong bus, she said. Driver, what bus is this? Fairview-can't tha read? Mabel jumped up. Why-why we're on the wrong bus! We want the Lindell bus. Let me out! l-leyl Are you sure you know where you're going? l never saw such girls in my life, remarked the man who had teased Mabel before. The driver slowly opened the door, looking annoyed. l'm glad l ain't got you girls on this here bus often, he com- mented. But the girls did not hear. They were already across the street, climbing into the Lindell bus, which had just driven to the curb. Oh, dear! sighed Bernice as she sat down. lsn't this terrible? lt's all your fault, Mabel, for not having set the alarm. 95 , F mlil N 1 .r i L,-.

Well, what's so funny? demanded Mabel with wide-open eyes. With a fresh peal of laughter, Bernice burst out, 'AWhy, it's Saturdayln TO A DAISY After studying Wordsworth's To a Dais y By IVIariIlia Steinhauser. '33 One day when I had walked along The bay. to hear the thrushes' song, I came upon a bashful flower, Shaded in her grassy bower. Her face was gentle, sweet. and tender, Her body tall and slim and slender. Her head was often made to sway, When the wind was wont to play. Oh. daisy with your golden crown. A sweeter flower ne'er was found: Yet I haue heard someone complain, Your dainty little face was plain. 'Tis easy for me to believe: Appearances do oft deceiueg If you would make a daisy fair Look for the hidden beauty there.

Perhaps the bums are putting on a show. No, that can't be it. Look at that crowd of men in the water there! See, they're diving. Maybe some- one is drowning! Come on, let's swim across. Bet I'll beat you. Gee! I never was as good as you when it comes to distances. Come on, let's run! Here we are! What's up? A man gone down, you say? Say, Earl, look at those men treading water out there. Don't they look as if they were standing in shallow water? There goes another guard down! Will he get him? No, here he is up again ancl alone. How long has he been down? Five minutes, you say? Thanks. Look, there are four guards going down together. Say, they can't be div- ing for a man. They would have brought him up by now. It must just be a sunken boat they're trying to raise. See, two of the men out there are laughing. You'd think they would get tired treading water. Here come those four guards up again. lr is a man! Look Earl, see his limp, white feet! They must have him upside down. Hear them! They're shouting for a rope. Look out, Earl, or this crowd will push you in the water. Hey! stop pushing! You can see him. They've got him all out of the water now. His face is a funny dark blue. Here Truenly-six they come, bringing him up on shore. I wish these people would stop pushing! They act as if they had never seen an unconscious man before. They are laying him on some blan- kets, face down, and downhill. The first guard takes his place to administer arti- ficial respiration. These people are mak- ing it hard for them. See how they try to crowd around! Here, you, get back there! Give the boy a chance, folks! He will be all right. Come on, get back. Get away from the river shore! Can't you see that's where the wind is coming from? Come on, folks, give the boy a chance for his life! We hear various comments as we stand watching, fascinated by the sight, yet re- pelled. Why don't they give him air? Get back you! That's how my little boy died. The crowd wouIdn't let him have any air. This is said by a fat middle-aged woman. A portly business man says, They ought to have a pulmotor here! It's an outrage! They can't do anything with that artificial respiration stuff! We have to grin a little at this last re- mark. They said that last Sunday when another fellow didn't come out of it. How long was this boy down, Earl? Have you heard anyone say? Twenty minutes? He hasn't got a chance. . . -'an ' -EEA 6. .... 14: mt As my I lllllll ulillllnuuw in ml HH' lln mnvh lllllli lllllllillllllill Q 163 5 . lhlill llltllwli lnlllllll' l 'lil lI'llllllll'll' lll illlllllllll IllIl1llllll llllllllllll1Wlll .A ...j r ,'... art inf ' A W ui, 34 21, Ai.. ,Z by X' .

There, another guard has taken the sec- ond one's place. lt's a hot day, but they are covering him with blankets to try to keep his cooling body warm. When the guard releases his pressure, the boy's body shivers a little, but it is not his own move- ment. Guards are rubbing his hands and patting his feet to restore circulation. With each downward pressure of the guard's hands, a little water spurts from the boy's mouth. This continues for half an hour, and then, instead of water, blood begins to come from him. The purple tint is slowly stealing down his neck and to his shoulders. He is bare to the waist, and his skin is very white-far too white, for few living people are that color. We stand for what seems hours, chang- ing our positions now and then, causing a rustle that can be heard distinctly. l never saw so large a crowd so quiet. The guards seem indefatigable. They continue their steady down pressure, and release. The boy's face is not nice to look at. A woman on the other side of the circle faints. Gee, if they can't stand to see these things, why do they come? She is taken away. Even the guards are losing hope. One of them lights a cigarette and sits calmly watching. lt will soon be his turn to work on the boy. To the observer they seem hard and callous, but they get used to this very soon. A doctor is here and he examines the boy, while the guards keep on pumping. He shakes his head. We hear a low hum go through the crowd. Comments are many. Poor boy, and he is so young! See, he is dark almost to the waist. ul told you he didn't have a chance, says a middle-aged man in tones of satis- faction at having been right. The guards have stopped, for the re- quired two hours are up. They wrap the boy in a blanket and one of the guards lifts him. He is taken to a car and driven to the undertaking parlor which is near here. That place does a good business. The crowd slowly disperses and we go back to our play and fun. Another tragedy of the river is over. TROPICAL STORM By Emil S. Brock. '34 lifourtesy, St. Louis Timesd Beyond the palm-tree waving free.

THE LIFT OF PAN By Larry lVez'r, '34 AN, god ofthe meadows and woods, tant. That is why he sat there brooding sat on a stone in front of one of his and meditating. When Pan was sad, or sanctuaries among the mountains of gloriously happy, he played on his pipes. Arcadia. For once, he was tired of dancing with the moun- tain Nymphs and making love to Echo. He sat de- jected, fingering listlessly the Hute that hung by his side. All about him the sky was a deep azure blue. The clouds came in herds like sheep slowly browsing across their pasture, now and then one straying from the flock. ln the distance loomed aged mountain peaks, looking like hoary vener- ables with their snowy tops. Ma- jestic trees tow- ered above him, seemingly stretching their lofty boughs higher and higher, try- ing to get a glimpse of the world beyond the mountain ranges. Yet Pan was not contentg something vital was missing, something very impor- Ttvvnly -vighi So, unconscious- ly, from long habit, he brought his pipe to his lips and played. The loving whis- per of the south wind, the babble of the brook, the murmur of the leaves, were all within his song. And yet there was s o m u c h more than these quiet repetitions of the same mo- notonous sounds --there was, be- sides, a lilting melody, to be heard from noth- ing in nature it- self, but only from those pipes of Pan. He play- ed softly, slowly caressing each note as if loath to part with it before it floated downward into the valley. Then, like the bursting of a bud into the sudden glory of a flower, there came to him the reason for his depression. Except for his own, there was no music: the world 4-X Q ll jiwll A 'id' Si' 1 Mil Q4-'E' .liligfzcfzxl-. 7 A -' -'.2.f,CA Af ' 'e - p V x....- I . ' ' .

But how was it to be supplied? He glanced down into the valley below and saw, Hying from tree to tree, small, delicate creatures dressed in varicolored plumage. Birds! Why shouldn't they sing? What could be more wonderful than that these creatures who live so inti- mately with nature, and fly across the heavens so gracefully, should sing? What could be more inspiring to man than to awake in the morning with the music of birds to greet him? So he spoke to the murmuring south wind, and told it to herald far and wide that on the following morn a committee of birds from each species should assemble in front of his cave. '- When they had all flown to the quiet valley, Pan spoke to the co'ngregation of feathered folk in front of him: For hap- piness the world requires music, and but for mine it has none. When l leave the earth to live an immortal life on Olympus, as l soon must, for men are beginning to doubt me, and the gods can exist only so long as men believe in them, the world will be empty of music entirely. So l, as a god, give you the power to sing. When you sing to each other of your loves and joys, man will be delighted. l-le will try to copy your songs with his own voice, and contrive to make instruments that produce sounds as beautiful as yours. By him you will always be welcomed. Of beast and fowl you will hold one of the highest places in his esteem, for man will adore music. l shall play for you all my songs. 'lhlllI lllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllll 'lllli 1I'IIIllllU!ll'A Ill llllilllllll mgllllllllllllllllmllllllllllll Each species shall choose the song it likes most to be its own. It shall teach that song to all the members of its race. And they, in turn, shall teach it to their children, and they shall teach it to theirs. So shall my songs be preserved from gen- eration to generation, and live for all eternity. So he played all his melodies-all those he played when his heart was joyful, and those he played when his heart was sad. He played his fanciful ones and his whim- sical ones, all those he could remember- and some he made up while he played. After each song a great chatter went up from among the birds, as they tried to decide whether they should choose that one or not. Finally, everything was settled, and they were about to depart, when there flew into the valley a straggler, one who had played along the road and arrived too late. It flew towards Pan and lighted softly on the branches above him. Pan, perceiving it, addressed it angrily, You, O late one, why are you so tardy? All my songs have been chosen, and l am too weary to compose another for you. You shall have no song of your own, but must mock the songs of others if you wish to sing. Henceforth you shall be known only as the Mocking Bird. So now when you awake in the cool of the morning, when all things are fresh with the dew, and you hear the melodious tunes of the robin, thrush, and meadow- lark, think sometimes of the giver of their songs, of Pan who long ago danced with the Nymphs, and made love to Echo in the far-off mountains of Arcadia. Twenty-nine WHEN THE OWLET WHOOPS By Alice Jamelon 'Brown skeletons of leaves that lag My forest-brook along: When the ivy-rod is heavy with snow. And the owlet whoops to the wolf below That 6013 the she-wolffs youngf LOWLY the old hermit makes his way through the soft snow. He draws his worn old robe about his shivering body and pauses to listen to the whistling of the wind through the tops of the high trees. The snow has covered their naked, black branches with a blanket of white, and they creak with the very weight of it. Now a bubbling sound is heard. lt is the chattering of the cold brooklet between its stony banks. ln the shade of an old and gnarled oak a mother wolf eyes the old man with a baleful, yellow glare, wondering if she should leave her cubs. But alas, she is hungry and must needs leave them. Having now come upon the bubbling brook, the good hermit kneels to fill his plump gourd. On the sparkling waters floats a tiny spectre ship, a curled and withered leaf that had been the last leaf of an old oak. Long had it fluttered on the topmost twig of the tree. Now, at length, it has fallen. The brown skeleton has passed down the rippling water. Nearby, an owlet whoops, plaintive and persistent. Having filled his gourd, the hermit arises to go, but being slightly perplexed at the owl's whooping in early evening, he stops to investigate. Again he gathers his worn robe about him. His body brushes the snow from an ivy bush. It falls with a soft plop. Still the owl whoops, wierdly now, just above his head. Suddenly he is aware of yellow eyes glaring into his. A sud- den lurch, a gray streak, and the wolf is gone. The hermit hears a frightful whimper- ing and yelping. Now he stoops beside the opening of a small cave beneath the roots of the old oak. There are the young of the wolf he has seen on the forest path. They are quiet now. The hermit straightens: he has saved their livesg now he crosses himself and turns toward his hut, hoping to reach it before night with its darkness overtakes him. THE MOON By Vera Delaplain As I looked at the moon. One bright summer's night, It seemed to cast down A wondrous light. The moon is a marvelous thing to behold For it brings back many memories of old: It lights all the meadows as far as the sight Like a round ball of Ere penetrating the night.

'33 U OW Bill, for the last time I'm telling you to get to bed. You have been up late every night this week and if you cIon't get to bed you'lI be having a spell like Mrs. Jones's boy had the other day. Bill, did you hear me? What have you there, another one of those books? I told you not to dare bring another library book into this house. The last time you kept it out so long, I had to pay sixty-two cents on it. Now young man, you march right upstairs to bed and be sure you leave that book right here on this table. Aw gee, Maw! Don't you 'aw gee' me. You heard what I said and that's just what I mean. Heck, Maw never gives a guy a break, so I guessed I had better do as she said, before I got a tanning. just as I was half way up the steps, the doorbell rang. It was Mrs. Jones. For once in my life I was glad to see the old cat, though she generally told Maw all the nasty things I did and would tell how good her little Junior was. But this time it was different. She and Maw began to talk about the church supper, so this gave me a good chance to get my book and beat it upstairs. I was successful so far as getting the book was concerned, but if I had known what was to follow, I don't believe I would have been so anxi- ous to read Captain Kidd. I made it up the steps in two shakes and into my room I went a-flying, pulling off my clothes as fast as I could, hanging my shirt on one post of the bed and my pants on the other. My shoes and stock- ings I pulled off in a hurry and made sure that my shoes made lots of noise as they dropped to the floor. For then Maw would think I was getting ready for bed. When I was in my night clothes, I went out in the hall and hollered Ucood night over the banister. I think Maw was sort of suspicious, but because Mrs. Jones was there, she said nothing. I was whistling a tune as I closed the door. Gosh! I was glad. fl often won- dered why people like Mrs. jones had to live, but now I know. She was to do a kind deed before she died., I walked over to the bed and turned back the covers. Having put the two pillows against the head of the bed so that it would be more comfortable for me, I then moved the lamp closer to my bed. Gee! a king couIdn't ask for more. There I was, all set for a nice quiet eve- ning to read the book so many of the fellows had told me was so good. I read and read for about half an hour and the further I got the more and the more hair-raising the story got. interested I was Gosh! pirates sure must have been some terrible fellows. Why I bet they could cut off your head and laugh, for it seemed so as I read this: Captain Kidd had him in the corner and as he walked closer and closer with the long, blood-stained cutlass coming nearer and nearer to the man's throat, he explained, 'Dead men tell no tales. Did you hear me? I said iDead men tell no tales.' Hal Ha!

Not that l was so frightened but a-but it's always best to play safe. My eyes searched every inch of three walls and I sighed with relief. But when I looked at the fourth wall where the door was, I nearly yelped out loud. For there was the door that I had closed so very tight, standing wide open. Boy, I'm telling you I never had such a feeling before in all my life. I thought perhaps it might be Maw. But no, I could still hear her and Mrs. jones talking down- stairs. It couldn't be Sis 'cause she was out with that Smith fellow, the one who chased me all over town because I put mustard in his hat. No, it wasn't Pop either because he was out at the feed store getting feed for Bessie, our horse. Oh! Gee! Maybe it was a pirate. But, heck, no. Why, what a sap I was for being afraid just because the door was opened. At this I got up my courage and threw out my chest. Why, fellow, do you think I was afraid of a little thing like a door? No, siree! I just walked over to the door, as big as you please, gave it a gentle push, and locked it. I then made one grand dive for the bed and hit it so hard that the old feather bed nearly popped open as it hit the floor and sprang up again. Then covering myself up again and pushing the pillows back in their places, I picked up my book and began to read. I was just where Captain Kidd let the man have the cutlass right in the neck when I heard a wierd howl. Ahoooo! Ahoooooln Good heavens! It was almost at my ear, and sounded just like a dying man Thirtyftwo ' Ill ml N IMI lhllil llllllll' lllllllllllllllllllllllllll 'Ill lllllllllllllllm 'llll llllillllllll I..

Finally, to my satisfaction, the howl ceased. This was my chance. My bebe gun was sticking out of the pocket of my pants which were hanging on the bed- post, and with it I could get my enemy. just as I was about to reach for it, I seemed to give a signal to the thing or things that were under my bed, for at that moment a loud shuffle came from below. But that wasn't all. The very spot on which I was sitting began to rise. Then almost every part of the bed seemed to rise until I began to think that the pirates were really under my bed, fighting. I couldn't call for help because if Maw found out that I was reading, she'd just clean the streets with meg or else, think what the kids would say. Gee! I never was in such a messg there I was alone with pirates fighting under my bed, and my only protection a bebe gun that I couldn't reach. They must have gotten tired or else one was knocked out, because the bump- ing and noise soon ceased. I finally decided to go after them, for it's better to die, a hero, than live and be a coward. So, with unsteady feet and shaking hands, I got on my knees to see my enemy. But imagine my amazement when I found neither hide nor hair of a pirate. Thinking that Maw might hear me roaming around, I thought it best that I should go to bed. So I hid my book behind the washstand, turned out my light and piled into bed.

Maw said she knew l had had a nightmare, but Mrs. Jones said l had a fit, because that was the way her Junior carried on when he had his last one. What happened next l don't know, only that they had to call the fire depart- ment to come and break in my window, because they were unable to get into my door. l was still yelling and jumping on the bed with the covers over my head, when but my, did l come to some sad fatel The doctor gave me some horrible medicine to take every half hour, and l had to stay in bed the whole last week of my vacation. Now, my unwonted visitor turned out to be Rags, my old hound pup, who had strolled into my room while l had been so interested in my story. Apparently he was resting under my bed when some of his fleas disturbed his nap. His dis- turbance had caused all the shuffling noise that l thought was the pirates. He must have hopped into my bed when l was searching for my callers, and when he became lonesome and put his cold nose on my neck, l thought sure that the pirates had me. Maw never did find out the real reason for my fit and since Rags can't talk, l'm sure l can trust myself not to give away any secret.

T. Coleridgej By Larry Weir, '33 Sullen clouds scowled and the heavens growled As our ship set sail for sea: The wind wildly swept and the heavens wept When we sailed with the tide at three. The sails they cracked and the ship was racked As we were tossed by the waves: The African coast was to be our host For we were out for slaves. Ivory. ivory, dark, dark ivory, Ivory of blachest kind, Human in body-human in soul- But to be treated like swine. To break up their families, to break up their homes And carry them over the line, And their human bodies all to be sold In the market-place like kine. That was our errand, those our deeds And I know we left with a curse: For though we laughed at the gale and the wind's piercing wail. I The storm grew steadily worse. The night was opaque. the night was dark. And the tempest would loudly scream: But I held the wheel with an arm of steel 'Neath the lantern's ghastly beam. The storm it blew. the storm it wept, For weary days three times seven, And never the sun did we see by day, Nor by night a star in the heaven. I could not understand, for as if by command The storm stood suddenly still, The wind it dropped and the rain it stopped As if by a master's will. Thirty-four On watch alone-I was alone- I held the wheel and steered, When on my right, out of the night, A halo suddenly appeared. Forms took shape within the light: Angels, I said-but alack- Nine shapes, nine forms, nine ghastly And every one was black. They made a circle in front of me And cach one shook his head: Sure this can't be the earth, thought I: I'm dead, I know I'm dead. Then one there was in a silken voice That said, This trip is your third. I knew he was right as the stars are bright. But I couldn't utter a word. For they that there before me stood Smiling that ghastly grin forms, Were slaves: slaves that I had cruelly soldi It was a terrible sin. I died of a broken heart, said one, And I from the cut of the whip, And I died from lack of precious air While chained in your cursed ship. Each told the reason why he had died And it was traced lo me: Each charge, it bitterly cut my soul And I writhed in agony. Turn back, said one, waving his hand, 'AAnd never set sail again: But another replied before his voice died, That will cause no pain. 4 N , iiiiif 'c f 3Q4'?'ff.5'feT-.213 .-..' 1 -, 'Ti Li 1352 -.': ' ':A' 12.2 .

Since we have fixed his sentence. The spirits smiled and vanished Each with an evil leer: It was the devil's own smirk, l'm sure. Part laugh, part grin, part sneer. Out in the fog I heard a knell And my brother's soul passed by: XVith every hnell from that death bell The souls of my crew flew by. My eyes grew round, my heart grew tight. As three-score souls took their death flight. YVhen the slow. retarded morn arrived I dropt to the deck in a heap, And the gods they sent their greatest gift, A long and dreamless sleep. I awoke. I awoke. I know not when And all around did stare: For the ship was fast in the snatching grasp Of weeds-they were everywhere. They clung to the stern, they clung to the prow, They clung to all in reach, They clulrhed. they clung, they fastened, and hung Like a clinging water-leech. Alone in the heat of the scorching sun, Alone in the fold at night, Alone, alone. always alone. XVith no living thing in sight. For seven long dreary weary days, I staid in that horrible plight. At twilight when the dusk hung low, l gazed o'er the clogged sea: A spertral horde came marrhing toward The warped ship and me. XVhi1e ghosts send shivers down your spine. And make your warm blood chill: But black spirits are so weird and ghoulish They make your heart stand still. Black-every single one was black, And each had been a slave, And before the look in each burning eye No one could have been brave. But that fiery glance soon passed away And another one remained: The look was of grief and bitter woe. For life had been in vain. My heart sank to its deepest depths .At the ruins of the quenched flame And I bent my head, for my pride had fled, And I closed my eyes in shame. I dropt to the deck and fervently prayed That I might Cure the wrong: And I prayed through the night till dawn's first l When I heard a heavenly song. I raised my head, and before me stood An angel from paradise. He blessed me with forgiving hand: Then vanished before my eyes. The selfsarne instant with erratic jerk The ship began to stir: The seaweeds parted before our way: Then all became a blur. W'hen I awoke I found myself In a smooth and glassy sea. XVildIy swimming for the only shore. The shore of my own countree. Now I roam from plate to place Telling my tale at need. That God loves all men large and small Of every rare and creed. That those in his living image Should not be bought and sold, Ifor a human life is worth far more Than any human gold.

A moment later Youth awoke and, looking out the window, saw the full charm of spring. Budding trees, perceptible tufts of green grass, a twittering sparrow, happy people, and a number of other signs were plainly evident. Having finished his toilet, Youth left for the place of his daily employ- ment. Walking along the avenue, Youth felt vastly superior to the hordes of humanity. His countenance displayed his thoughts, and soon a bright, merry whistle escaped from his lips. Youth was content with life. Could you spare a few cents, Mister? Youth turned and there in an obscure corner was Destitution. At the first glance Youth saw that his face was very thin and pale. A few strands of gray hair protruded from beneath his battered hat. His face was slightly dirty, and this con- dition, coupled with the shagginess of his beard, served to make his visage rather disagreeable, but in his eyes of blue there could be seen a faint flash of fire, the only reminder of his former self. His clothes, being exceedingly shaggy and worn, ac- corded with his haggard face. Could you spare a few cents, Mister? repeated Destitution. Youth was visibly moved by Destitution and gave him a larger donation than he had expected, for with a fervent cry of blessing, Destitu- tion exclaimed, Oh! thank you, Youth, you are very kind. Thirty-eight nYouth, he went on, ul was once as young and spry as you, unknown to care, a friend of many, and full of hope: but l strayed from the straight and narrow path and sank lower and lower, until you find me as l am now, friendless and for- lorn. l cannot sink any lower. Heed my counsel and do not stray from the Right. Youth quickly left Destitution because the pervading sense of gloom seemed to overwhelm him. When a few blocks sep- arated him from Destitution, he again began to whistle, and, true to his nature, the advice of Destitution was very quickly forgotten. l-le had traversed another block, still in the same happy mood, when he came face to face with Drunkeness. Drunkeness resembled Destitution in every respect except that of clothes. ln- stead of being shaggy and worn, they presented a rather good appearance. Say, Buddy, how about a dime for a cup of coffee, he stammered. Youth did not immediately answer be- cause he knew to what purpose the money would be used. So he said, Sure, come along and I'll buy you a cup. Drunkeness looked dismayed, and, see- ing that his ruse had failed, staggered on, ready to try his luck upon another likely prospect. Youth walked on, and, not twenty yards from his encounter with Drunkeness, he was called by name. He turned and saw Lawlessness, whom he immediately recognized, standing in a doorway. Youth saw him as he had seen him many times 255 Y t bw . Q is A- ,',. U- -V T ii., -I J. A gfi. ,Q , . f f. gikpii ii ' N Wi-llll. xx. i 1: wnnuum:::....m1unun 1 qv M 'wnvnunmuww -4- .. 1. ..

Out of curiosity and the lure of adventure, Youth decided to enter the dark room. Lawlessness met him at the door and shook hands with him. Listen, he whispered, nl could use a fellow like you. Lawlessness gave these words in a glib tongue and accompanied them with friendly slaps upon Youth's back and smiles of encouragement. But Youth was well aware of what was meant and graci- ously declined his nmost generous offer. Lawlessness was plainly disgusted with Youth's conduct, for, with a curt nod, he invited him to leave. Youth quickly left, glad to be away from Lawlessness. Youth was conscious of the result of his curios- ity and the lure of adventure, and re- solved to curb both on future occasions. After leaving the haunt of Lawlessness, Youth was obliged to pass through a beautiful park. His thoughts were ab- sorbed in Nature when a call from a near- by park bench caused him to stop. Youth fixed his eyes upon the corpulent body of Laziness. He was stretched out upon the bench, and from his mouth dangled a cigarette, the ashes of which were plenti- fully strewn upon his clothes. Tarry awhile, friend Youth, he wheezed, and with great effort vacated a portion of the bench and invited Youth to sit down. l want some one to talk with me. No one seems interested in me any more, said Laziness. The very sight of Laziness filled Youth with loathsome disgust, and, turning on his heel, he left the enraged Lazinesss to mutter upon his ideas of human life. IVV!! umm Hllllll 'W lllll Willlllllllul IW wllillllllll llllllllll llllllllllllllWl Youth had scarcely left the park when he was met by a handsome young man, neatly dressed. He introduced himself as Revelry and, putting his arm in that of Youth, invited him to his home. Youth consented because he had often wished to meet Revelry and had taken a sudden liking to this entertaining young man. As they neared his house, strains of hilarious music and shrill peals of laughter reached the ears of both. Just a few of my friends having a good time, Revelry explained. One of Revelry's friends espied the two from a window and, shouting the news to the rest, threw open the door. Youth was given a loud but good-natured welcome by a score or so of young peo- ple. His pulses quickened in anticipation of the coming events. ln a few moments the welcome had subsided and the crowd dispersed into small groups, either to im- bibe some of the sweet wine or to sing songs. But soon Youth wandered off by him- self and took a seat outside the circle of hilarity. He finally tired of looking on at the sport and pranks of the celebrators. Youth closed his eyes and began to think of the events of the day. He called to mind the meetings in turn with Destitu- tion, Drunkeness, Lawlessness, Laziness, and finally Revelry. He revolved them over and over in his mind, and was sur- prised when he reversed their order thus: Revelry, Laziness, Lawlessness, Drunk- eness and Destitution. One seemed to fol- low the other directly in degredation. The counsel of Destitution came back very vividly, reminding him of the swift- ness of the down grade. Youth knew that his period of entertainment with Rev- Thirty- nine 'Yi rx ,gf'QggX'jEiiA-1A'fgriiiywbggiirgwi- qV'. -':' A., ,.,1 - QZQZ -'A A -3 fiiZ 3 2 X ,-9 ,515f-?P?i' .lQIi af Y f iffei i M, w,..iH7 Q 5 mmwmm:mamwmmwwmmmmwmwmwmLwwmmmwwmuwmmwHWMWVWWWMWM ..... elry would be followed by a period with Laziness and so on clown the grade until he would be in the company of Destitu- tion. Youth sprang up with a shout, renounc- ing Revelry and his friends, and made for the door. Several tried to hold him back and persuade him to stay, but he broke away and fled forth into the fresh air. Outside, Youth paused to look at his watch, and, although surprised at the time wasted, decided to go to his place of work even at this hour. He was well aware of the fact that he would be reprimanded by his superiors because of his tardiness, but his resolute spirit bade him strike on. Fair-faced Ambition accosted Youth on the next corner and, although he had never had the good fortune to meet her before, was positive that he had met his true companion at last. Youth greeted her with a smile and, arm in arm, they walked into a huge department store in which Youth was employed. Youth, with a smile on his face, was ready to meet the rebuff of his superiors. As the door closed behind them, Youth whispered to Ambition, I'll get on as long as l have you, SONG By Dorothy Burrneister, '32 A song is quite a lovely thing to hear. It seems to be an echo of the heart, A shadow of the soul, a tiny part Of things all pure, and beautiful. and clear. A song may lift a man from deep despair, Or cheer some weary wand'rer here on earth, Or line gray clouds with silver, or bring mirth To banish gloom and sadness from the air. When we, in all humility, recall All that we have, and that not by our hands But by the mercy of a God of Love, W'hat can we do but seek to break the thrall Of morbid gloom, and sever sorrow's bands By singing oft, as angels do above.

'32 lTTl..E. BLACKIE. was not really much of a dog when Tom brought him home. He was just a dirty, black- and-white puppy of no special breed. Tom, while playing with the gang on Fourth Street, that morning, had found the dog. He had been wanting a dog for a long time, and the puppy had won his heart at first sight. As he tramped in, the clog clasped tight in his arms, Mrs. Rogers, his mother, ex- claimed, Goodness, Tom! What in the world is that muddy thing in your arms? Why don't you wipe your feet? just look at the tracks you are making. But, Mother, I just wanted to show you Blackie. l'm going to keep him. Keep him? Indeed, you're not. fShe was rather cross, as she had just come from talking with Mrs. Green whom she wished to engage to help her do the spring house-cleaning., Oh, all right, Tom sighed. But you and Dad said l could keep the next dog. Yes, that's true, was the reluctant answer. We'll see what Father says about it. Then, as Tom turned away, a glad smile on his face, she added, But you'll have to build him a house. l won't have him running in herel All right, Mother! Tom joyfully replied. All that afternoon Tom stayed in the shed, hammering and sawing away. When Louise, his sister, inquired as to his task, he shouted, Ah, nothingl Don't bother me. Even when the boys called for him to go down to the lot and play ball, he refused, pleading that he was busy. About four o'clock Mrs. Rogers came out and, seeing his work, smilingly said, i'You seem rather sure that your father will let you keep him. ul hope so. You'll ask him to, won't you, Mother? Tom coaxed. lVlaybe. With this answer, Tom was forced to be content. He again busied himself and put the finishing touches on the dog ken- nel, which was big enough for a dog three times Blackie's size. He exhibited it to Louise, and when she mockingly tolcl him that it was too big, he roared, 'iWell, he'll grow. Don't be so dumb! By five, Tom had bathed both Blackie and himself. After the bath, which Blackie had detested and fought against, he was really not such a bad-looking dog, for his markings were unusual. He was all black except for a white ring around his left eye and a white tip to his short tail. Mr. Rogers was detained in town that night and did not reach home until long after Louise and Tom were in bed, but not before Tom was asleep. He had been lying in bed, wondering if Dad would say, UNO. If he did, it would be awful, because Tom did want a dog so badly. All the rest of the boys had one, and George had even taught his to stand and beg. Tom thought, 'il'll bet that l could teach Blackie to beg, and to walk on two legs, and to jump through a hoop like that dog in the circus. He's lots smarter than George's old dog.

Tom returned to bed, sure that Blackie would win his father's heart. He was soon fast asleep. Blackie, in his stranger surroundings, could not sleep. He awoke at the slight- est noises, and once he saw a strange man at the front door. Rushing up to him, the dog began a furious barking.

When Mr. Rogers, who had been dis- turbed by the barking, came down, he was just in time to catch a last glimpse of the intruder. Believing that the dog had frightened off a thief, he stooped and patted Blackie. Needless to say, the next morning Blackie was officially adopted into the Rogers home. A few days later, one of Mr. Rogers's business colleagues met him on the street, and said, l went to your home late the other night to ask you about that railroad deal, but a big dog drove me off. l didn't know you had a dog.

'33 H SHORE must find a remedy, lshore must, mumbled Mrs. Perkins to herself as she went about her work one fine summer morning. just that morning Eliza Ann, Mrs. Perkins's daughter, had left for school with a brand new calico bonnet as her crowning glory. The reason for Mrs. Perkins's grum- bling lay in that calico bonnet. Eliza Ann had got a new bonnet just six months before, and Mrs. Perkins was very much troubled about her extravagant daughter. Eliza Ann had the terrible habit of chewing her bonnet ties while on her four- mile jaunt to-and-from school. Every evening she came home with her bonnet ties chewed half off. Mrs. Perkins suddenly thought of a remedy. After the family had retired for the night, she got out a needle and thread, and, taking a bunch of red objects from off a nail, she cut two of them from the string. She then sewed one in each bon- net tie. The next morning Eliza Ann left for school, smiling, little dreaming in what a sad state she would again enter her home. On the way to school she did not chew her ties because it was very cold, and every time she opened her mouth, her teeth would chatter. But going home that evening she be- gan her usual exercise. She chewed peacefully for a while, but presently her eyes began to water, her mouth began to burn, and she was most miserable. She reached home in no better state, and despite all her efforts to relieve her suf- fering, the wretchedness increased. She soon began to find the nucleus of the trouble, and, upon finding a red pep- per in each tie, she vowed never again to chew her bonnet strings. .s 9755 via gif.

AUF WIEDERSEHEN By Dorothy Burmeister, '32 N old man sat before his fireside. An old, old man, with a great, leonine head crowned with a mane of silver hair, and long, slender hands folded on top of a heavy-headed cane. His face was stern, but there was a pecu- liar mixture of hardness and wistfulness reflected in the fine features and dark eyes that gazed into the fire, where the flames took fantastic shapes, and threw dancing shadows on the walls. The old man was alone in the spacious drawing- room. From somewhere came soft music, familiar pieces of the sunny Southland. As his mind wandered back over the past years, a panorama of events unfolded in the ever-changing flames. It was a sunny afternoon on an old plantation in Virginia. From somewhere came children's laughter, and the trill of woodland birds. Colonel Richard Carruthers, tall and stately and silver- haired, stood on the veranda of the Manor and looked down toward the iron gates, at the end of a long avenue of trees, as he was often wont to do these days, since Shelly had gone away. Old Mammy Lou heaved a great sigh from the very depths of her capacious bosom as she watched from the shadow of the great doorway. With another deep sigh, she turned sadly away to her spotless kitchen, where Uncle Jim was seated in the doorway smoking peacefully. Although he worshiped Mas- ter Richard just as much as Mammy Lou did, he was less emotional, and wisely listened when she poured out her heart to him. Forty-four Pore Marse Richard, she said now, sympathy written all over her generous black features, Pore Marse Richard. Miss Shelly never gwine give up dat young man ob hers. She is got too much ob Marse Richard in her to do dat, and she shore do love dat Marse Kendall a power- ful lot. 'Deed she do. Pore Marse Richard. Every day Master Richard stood in the same place. Would Shelly come back alone? Come back she would, he knew, but if that young scoundrel was with her, gloating over his power- l'll disown her first, he whispered to himself. Suddenly he stiffened. Two figures had entered the gates and were walking up the shaded path. One was a tall, clean-cut-looking fellow, the other a slim, aristocratic-loolv ing girl, with a proud way of carrying her tawny head. Shelly Carruthers, she had been. Shelly Kendall, old man stood like a statue as the two now. The neared him, his face a carved mask. The last few steps Shelly covered on the run, leaving her husband to follow slowly.

You dared to bring that-that scoun- drel here-here, to the home of genera- tions of the Carruthers name. His voice came between clenched teeth. His anger burned suddenly, unreasonably, white- hot. It was like flame meeting flame. ' ,.2',,g,'x K ' E as I - : .. -,'- lag -, Z- .-'- . - Q' . x 1, Ql,,i,,,.q115,' .-A. jf '.A. 1- Z, j f W .:.-' 2 P4 E, 1 -A , ' 5 Ln , y '.,4 , .f I, . .

Which shall it be, Shelly? His voice was stern, but it quiv- ered with an undercurrent of eagerness, and of wistfulness, too. Shelly whitened. Father, please-- Choose, l choose my husband, she said, with heart-breaking pride. Something died within the old man, but he would not relent. Very well. You are no longer a daughter of mine. May I wish you and your husband good afternoon? Father, she said softly, her voice breaking, l'll always love you father. Some day you'll forgive me, and when you do, l'll be waiting. She laid her lips to his hand with a quick gesture, and left there a tear. Then, proudly, to hide the pain underneath, she turned away with her husband. A weary old man, his fine eyes misty with longing, leaned heavily against the stone pillar. Down through the years Richard Car- ruthers had refused to hear any word about Shelly or those near to her, al- though he was almost crushed beneath his burden of grief. Pride! It took his heart and tore it in relentless hands, and yet he bowed before it.

Tonight as Master Richard sat before the fireplace staring into the flames, soft music drifted into the room. A violinist was playing some old melody. Dimly the old man realized that this was no amateur. A voice that sounded a good deal like a boy's voice, a bit breathless, very eager, broke into his reverie. A voice borne on the wings of music, out of the night. This is Richard Kendall speaking. l have a personal message to broadcast, ladies and gentlemen, if you will grant me a few moments.

The United States had entered the war and seven sturdy young men of this town, which was barely large enough to obtain mention on a map, were going to Europe to fight for their country. ln a little cottage on the edge of the town, Jimmie Davis was saying good-bye to his mother, who was old and gray- haired and still looked on her son as a child that needed to be told when to wear his rubbers. Jimmie was sure the war could not last long, and it would be but a few months before he would be back to care for his mother in her last days as she had cared for him in his first. all He was tall and well-built, used to the hardships that had been the lot of pioneers. From spending long hours hunting in the woods and Working on a farm, he had acquired an iron constitu- tion which fitted him for life in the army. His eyes were small, quick and observing, and his mind was always clear and quick to recognize any slight opportunity which might present itself. Farewells had been said, and the boy left on a train for the camp where he was to prepare for the life of a soldier. Every- thing was strange to these boys, but they quickly accustomed themselves to the rou- tine, learning quickly, and soon all had received a commission except Jimmie, who had taken a liking to the bugle and spent most of his time practising, in hopes of gaining the post of regimental bugler. Forty-eight This honor he at length obtained, and when the company to which he was at- tached sailecl for France, he it was who blew the orders to board the ship which was to take many of them to an ever- lasting eternity on the fire-scorched fields of France. Jimmie had become popular with the men in his company on account of his skill with the gun and his willingness to help the other less fortunate soldier boys when they had felt the boot of the top- sergeant or had had a run-in with one of those fresh nincomsu who had become swelled with the dignity of an office. The ship docked at Calais, and many happy boys were glad to hear the clear call of jimmie's bugle, which meant the end of seasickness and the feel of firm ground under their feet, ground which they were sure would not roll and lurch as had the ship's deck, ground which was to swallow half their number in the space of a few short months. Training was begun in earnest. Soldiers who had fought in battles trained the men in all the arts of trench warfare. Each learned to throw hand grenades with the accuracy of a pitcher for a baseball team. They learned to use a gas mask, string barbed wire, and dodge the quick thrust of a bayonet to the highest degree of perfection. All this time they were obey- ing the calls of Jimmie's bugle, which got them up in the morning and put them to bed at night: and all this time Jimmie had been receiving letters from home say- ing that his mother was waiting for his ' ' A f..

Still she remained high in hopes that her Jimmie would soon return home. Every night when the slow notes of taps called the soldiers to sleep from the bugle blown by Jimmie, his thoughts wandered back three thousand miles to a small cottage and his mother. At last came the order to move up: they were going to fight. Long columns of men clad in olive drab were marching into a blazing inferno, and coming out of it were trucks carrying the Red Cross of mercy, laden with wounded and dying men who, a short time before, had been whole and hearty. Jimmie exchanged his bugle for a gun, and, in the three days that followed, he stood with the others of his company and time after time repulsed the charges of the Germans. Then came relief: the men went back for a rest: new faces appeared to take the places of those who had been swallowed by the ground they had longed to touch. The next months were filled with periods of resting and fighting. New faces were constantly taking their places in the ranks of the company to which Jimmie was attached, and always the company was led on by his bugle. During all this time, letters from home told Jimmie that his mother was con- stantly growing weaker but still clinging to the hope of seeing him in a very short time. On the battle fields distinguished himself by the quick use of Jimmie had his mind in emergencies and the accurate work of his gun. He had thwarted a surprise attack through the quick vision of his eyes: and on outpost duty he had in turn led a successful attacking party 5 mm umm' lwml'lI UN 'HSI ilhllllllllllll luv nnnlvlwl nu n1n11lllI MWIlll1Lt Il into the enemy lines and returned with prisoners. He received the Distinguished Service Cross of Valor and was recommended for a leave. His hopes mounted. He could go home to see his mother: but they were short lasting. Such a leave was impossible. Letters had informed him that his mother was growing even weaker, and he had great doubt as to whether he would be able to return home in time to see her. The only thing that was keeping her alive was the hope of seeing her son in just a few months. Then came the news that the war was over. People all over the world bowed down in prayer of thanks, and in a little eastern New Jersey town a mother pre- pared to see her son whom she still regarded as a small child. Again Jimmie's bugle led the men of his company aboard ship, and his bugle sounded the call to leave the ship, the call which meant home and loved ones, away from all the horrors of the blazing battle fields and the strict routine of the army: free to move and do as they pleased without fear of inviting the fire of some hostile machine gun or sharp- shooter. For the night they were sent to a camp just outside of New York. The next day they would board trains for every part of the country and take up life where they had left off eighteen months before. It was like being born over again for they had indeed been dead these eighteen months. They had been a part of a vast machine, the sole purpose of which was to destroy a similar machine sent out by a hostile country to destroy them.

'32 HREE cheerful peals from the church steeple seemed to heighten the splendor of the beautiful june day in the small village of Nliltonshire, England, in the summer of l9l8. Little would one dream, looking at the peaceful- ness and contentment of the village, that a great world's war had been going on for four years. Surely no one could think of a more beautiful village than this one, lying in a valley with surrounding grass- covered hills. lts quaint English cottages, taverns, church, and byways presented an ideal village. On this particular day the odor of roses and flowers perfumed the air, and the sun smiled brightly upon the beautiful coun- tryside. It was twelve o'clock, and the villagers were coming from the church. One pair, a young man and his mother, were espe- cially attractive. The young man, twenty- one years old on that very day, was tall, with blond hair and blue eyes, and with high, distinctly Anglo-Saxon features. Supporting herself on his arm was his mother, a silver-haired, sweet-faced lady of fifty. The boy was talking joyfully but his mother seemed to be worried, having reason to be, for that evening her only son was leaving the village to fight for his fatherland. After they had walked a short way down the street, they came to their home, a rose-covered cottage with a beautiful garden in front of it. Walking through the garden, the couple came to the door, opened it, and entered the house. A beautiful, noble-looking collie barked joyfully and gaily jumped about when he saw his beloved master and his mas- ter's mother. David patted Rover on the head and playfully teased him, to his de- light. Dave seated himself and, amid many thoughts, smoked his pipe. Soon his mother entered the room and told him to close his eyes until instructed to open them. Dave, knowing that it was his birthday, wondered what surprise was in store for him. Finally he was com- manded to open his eyes, and, to his great surprise, he saw a wrist-watch with the inscription To Dave, From Mother, On His Twenty-First Birthday. Dave kissed his mother, thanking her, yet telling her that she should not have spent that much money for him. However, between tears and smiles, she told him that he de- served it and that he should always wear it and remember her by it. Soon dinner was served, and it was the finest of Eng- lish dinners, and when Dave blew out the candles on his birthday cake, his mother prayed that he might return safe and sound from the war. Dave spent the rest of the afternoon in packing his clothes, and towards sun- down he went to the village to bid his friends good-bye and to see other boys who were going with him to training camp. Coming back just at Sundown, Dave tearfully, but encouragingly, told his mother not to worry, and, after receiv- ing her blessing, and telling Rover to Fifty-om' FN E WN A' W S - Aw Q I IIlllllllllII!UIIlllllllW '.n Mlhl llll ll Illlllllllllllll llllllll lllllllll Ilflllv lllllllllllllllllll 'lllllllllh 'ullnllll llllllllb lhlllllllll llllllllllll III!

Going down the road he met the boys who were leaving with him, and to- gether they went to London in a hired cab. Upon reaching his quarters in training camp, Dave unpacked his suitcase and found within it a Bible. Turning to its inside binding, Dave saw his mother's pic- ture and a rose beside it. Opposite these was a note written by his mother. She told him to carry the Bible with him at all times and keep her picture and the rose, which came from a bush which had been planted the same year he was born and which was dedicated to him. Dave wiped away a tear as he thought of his home with its flowers, and singing of birds, his mother and Rover. After a few months of training, the company in which Dave was placed left camp and arrived in France in early Au- gust. Meanwhile, Dave had found a worthy pal for himself, while in the train- ing camps. His name was Johnny Drake, a bright, brown-eyed, tall, handsome young man of twenty-two years. Johnny would always show Dave a picture of his mother and his sweetheart, Mary, and Dave likewise showed his mother's pic- ture, and they would always tell each other of their homes and experiences. Dave would joke with Johnny, saying that he would constantly talk about his girl in his sleep. Soon Dave and johnny fought side by side in actual combat, and it was more horrifying than either of them had im- Fifry-two agined. The sights that they saw were enough to sicken any man, and it left them with heavy hearts for several days. Johnny, in particular, was sad and wor- ried because he had killed a German in hand-to-hand combat. Johnny told Dave that even Germans had mothers, sweet- hearts, or friends waiting for them at home, and he grieved to think that he had deprived someone of his loved one. Dave, however, consoled him with the fact that he had to kill in self-defense and that he would have been killed if he hadn't done so. Weeks passed, and Dave saw many of his pals killed or gravely wounded in bat- tles, and he thought sorrowfully of the time Johnny and he might have to follow them. Dave wrote home to his mother regularly, but he presented the bright side of the war, not telling of its many dangers and horrors, for he did not want to worry her. ln his last letter, he told her that he believed a big move against the Germans was being planned, and the war would soon be over, and he would come back to her safe and sound. Finally the day of the Big Rush came. Everything was planned as to at- tacks, and all available troops were pre- pared. Dave's company was to attack in No Man's Land, the most dangerous German territory, on November the first, at sundown. Soon the fateful day came and a few minutes before sunset everyone was lined up in the trenches, eagerly awaiting the captain's whistle with beating hearts. Rain was falling steadily, and the black outline of the woods in which the enemy was stationed produced a stealthy, ghostlike atmosphere. Johnny was nerv- ' Tia fl '55 Hs e ' , .'-. -' N E liee 'ill P ' fx P f i . . -- v .X ' ,, ' ' ' f -'A,5 ' ' ' '- 1 , '. ,' l 'mi ll fi f 5?

Then the captain's whistle sounded shrilly and over the top Dave went with johnny and his other pals. Shells, bullets, cannon, and fire flew in every direction, yet the Yankees pressed on and on. Dave, rifle ready, ran forward, but upon looking back for Johnny, in a short while saw him falling. Dave ran to him and started to pick him up but saw that he had been instantly killed. Cursing loudly and charg- ing madly forward, he saw machine-gun fire cutting down his buddies. Taking a grenade from his bag, he ran forward without his rifle and felt piercing pains in his chest and shoulders. Staggering for- ward he heaved the grenade, yelling For johnny and my buddies as he saw the machine-gun nest being blown to pieces. Exhausted and wounded, Dave fell to the ground and writhed in pain. I-le looked at his watch. lt was five o'clock, sunset. Dave recalled the many happy sunsets he had spent at home with his mother and Rover. Suddenly memories of his pleasant boyhood days Hashed through his mind, and a smile shone on his face. 61 i I umm min. 'hllllllllllllllllllllllb 'fun lhllllllillll' uw nniiulwl 1iiinilitl ltllWlllIlllUlI Old experiences were again revived in his mind. Dave dimly pictured his rose-cov- ered home, with his mother and Rover standing beside the rose bush, as he left at sunset on that beautiful June day. Slowly Dave lifted his hand and took the Bible his mother had given him from his shirt-pocket. Opening the Bible he saw his mother's picture and he kissed it, smil- ing bravely. Then, picking up the with- ered rose, he smelled it, and with its lingering perfume still about him, Dave quivered, and his soul went to join johnny and his other buddies. ln a little English village a beautiful silver-haired lady was going to her home from afternoon services in the village church, and it was sunset. By her side a noble-looking collie dog walked with a drooped head. The silver-haired lady came to a quaint English cottage and, walking through her pretty little garden, she stopped beside a rose-bush by the side of the cottage. She thought of the year, the same year that David was born, when the rose-bush was planted, and she won- dered whether Dave still kept the rose she had put in the Bible. Suddenly the lady saw that the rose-bush had withered and died, and instinctively she knew why it had done so before its closing season. THE NIGHT By Edward Garstang.

I ADVENTURES OF A MODERN MUNCI-IAUSEN By Omega Courtwright, '32 HEN I was still quite a little child, I went on a visit to my uncle's farm. I borrowed one of his horses and went for a little ride. The horse was quite spirited, and soon left me far behind. After picking myself up and dusting myself off, I went on a tour of inspection via shanks' mare. I ducked through a barbed-wire fence and set off down a steep, wooded slope. While sauntering along at peace with the world, I heard a savage whinny. Look- ing over my left shoulder, I saw the most murderous-looking horse I had ever laid eyes on. I-lis left eye was blind, and his right eye glowed a savage red. When he opened his mouth, he showed a complete set of enormous white teeth. Besides that, he was a giant. I believe that he could have raised his front hoof, placed it on my head, and, with a little pressure, smashed me as Hat as a pancake. There was no question. The field was evidently his, and I let him have it. I would have given it to him even if it hadn't been his. Luckily for me, there was a barbed-wire fence nearby. I slipped through it into the next pasture. There were very few trees there, and, as I looked around, I saw a tiny log cabin near the fence. Now, log cabins are distinctly passe. so I set out to investigate this one. When I had got within ten feet of the place, a beautiful aroma which was roaming around, struck my nostrils. I advanced eagerly. I had not gone more than two steps lfifz y -four when I heard a low, fierce growl. Startled, I looked around and saw an ugly, brutal bulldog straining at a leash fastened to the wall of a log cabin. I-le strained a little harder, and the leash let go with a snap. I lit out for the barbed-wire fence, which was evidently my refuge in time of to slip Dobbin on the other side of the fence, his one red, danger. But as I was ready through the fence again, I saw me. I Then my face brightened as a thought struck malignant eye fixed steadily on was nonplussed for a split second. me. I vanished into the fourth dimension. Adventure ll. A few years later I became an aviator. I had risen to a place of trust when this incident occurred. I was traveling from St. Louis, Missouri, to Butte, Montana, with a small, heavy sack containing part of the John Doe mil- lions. While going along at a nice rate of speed, something told me to look back. I did so, and saw a big plane headed in my direction. It was blood-red, and a black skull and cross-bones were painted on each side of it. It was the pirate ship, terror of all aviators. just then, my engine went dead on me, and my ship began to sink like a plummet. I threw up my hands in despair and began to say my prayers at the rate of about forty words per second. Suddenly we sank to rest on a soft mass of something. Looking around, I saw that nr' - fs nl!!

Moreover, as it was raining, we were steadily descending to the earth. Within an hour, I had landed in the Sherman Valley, safe and sound. Adventure III. After this escapade, I decided to do some free lancing. I left the company for which I was working, and entered a mara- thon for American aviators. The point was to carry as much lipstick to the head hunters of Africa as possible, without re- fueling. We started on a bright June morning. Quite a few aviators entered the contest, and the Atlantic coast was lined with peo- ple gathered to give us a send-off. Needless to say, I won. But a compli- cation arose when the other aviators re- turned home immediately, leaving me to come when I chose. All America seemed to be on the shore to meet me. When I saw the great throng, my heart sank. My great per- J imm iuumv mum! V 'ilu 1mllluu5WL' .,.. i'1w 'nmW!lI1!l 'Kill'ilnilllllvillkwillllllvlfl sonal modesty would not permit me to land and be praised and glorified by my people, so I turned my air-ship around and went back to Africa. There was a great crowd there, too. They seemed to welcome me eagerly, with happy smiles on their faces. I was about to land, when I remembered that they were head hunters. I turned my craft around again and started back to Amer- ica. I flew swiftly, so that I could get home before my fuel gave out. Instead of stopping at the Atlantic coast, I flew a few miles on, then circled and came back, landing a short distance behind the crowd. I was unnoticed. Imagine my surprise at seeing a white plane, exactly like mine, come up and land. A person that was apparently my twin got out, and the crowds welcomed him with cheers. My astonishment changed to wrath. He had even dared to steal my honors! Then I understood what had happened, and smiled to think I hadn't thought of it before. I had flown so fast that I had met myself coming back. KEEP SMILING By Gladys Eggers. '32 Some folks are always grouchy: They never wear a smile. While other folks are pleasant.

I thought that this was a queer name for a firm, but being in need of a detective, and as they were the only ones in town, I opened the door and walked in. I found myself in a small office with few fixtures and facing the queerest pair I had ever seen in all my business experience. One was seated at a small desk and the other slouched in a chair. He who sat at the desk arose and in- troduced himself as jones. I noticed that hewas a man of medium build, light com- plexion, and blonde curly hair. His face was drawn into a peculiar sort of a leer by a long, wide scar which stretched from his left ear to his mouth. This scar even affected his speech. He offered me a chair, and I sat down. Then I faced the other member of the firm. He was a tall, thin man, but I had no idea of his height until he straightened up in his chair. His cheeks were sunken, and he seemed to be about middle-age. When he looked at me I had a very queer sensation. lt seemed that he could look through me and read my thoughts. I guessed that he was Bones. Well, my friend, what can I do for you? asked Jones. Sir, I want you to help me locate my son, William, who has disappeared from our home in St. Louis. He left about two months ago after a violent argument with me. At first, I did not think much about Fifty-six it. I did not hear from him until about a week later when I received a letter mailed in a small town in Kansas. I went to this town and expected to find him there. Imagine my surprise when I found no trace of him. Frequently I have re- ceived such letters from him, but when I investigate, I find no trace of my son. The latest letter was mailed in this town. I came here and, likewise, failed to find a trace of him. I have decided to put the matter into your hands and will spare no money in the search. What does your son look like? asked Bones, speaking for the first time. I described my son fully and told them of his habits and character. lf you have any letters with you, they will be of great use to us, said Jones. I had all of my son's letters with me and gave them to him. The partners looked over the letters and discussed them together. Then Jones said that they would take the case and that their first fee would be five hundred dollars. He asked for my St. Louis ad- dress. I paid the fee, gave them my address, and left the office. That night I boarded a train and left for St. Louis. About a week later, I received a letter from the detectives. It read: jones and Bones, Detectives, Salt Lake City, Utah, July 31, l930. Mr. A. W.

Our first fee of five hundred dollars has been exhausted, and we will need an addi- tional five hundred to cover expenses. Respectfully yours, Wm. Jones. I immediately sent them a check for five hundred dollars and waited for fu- ture developments. About two weeks later I received this startling letter: Jones and Bones, Detectives, Los Angeles, California, Aug. I5, l930. Mr. A. W. Pearson: We have found your son in a Los An- geles jail. He is accused of robbery and we need 55,000 to bail him out. Respectfully yours, Wm. Jones. At flrst I hesitated about sending the money, but my love for my son was su- preme, and I sent a draft.

As time went on with still no word from them, I began to get wor- ried and to feel that I had been hooked. Then one day I met a friend who was a police captain. I told him my story and of my apprehensions. He thought a while and said, Your description Hts a pair of criminals who have not been heard of in the last few years. Come, we will go to the station and see their pictures. We went, and I found that they were the same men.

This ques- IL 'lg tion is invariably answered in g A the affirmative. In most any i gathering of people where the conversation drifts to dogs, most remark- able tales are told of their sense and cun- ning. Some people are skeptical as to the certainty of themg however, it would not be fair to discredit these stories al- together, although I am inclined to be- Iieve that the shepherd I had would prove their superiority, but I leave the decision to you at the conclusion of this narrative. I was quite young when I first saw this dog, and my first impression was of a small, black-and-white shepherd with shaggy hair, and a contented expression on his face. His training was mostly on his own initiative, but there gradually grew up an understanding between us. As he grew up, he became a most majestic creature, and I named him Rex He proved his strength among the other dogs of that section. He did not, however, kill grizzly bears, as some movies would have you believe dog heroes do, because there were none, or if there were, they dared not show themselves while Rex was loose. His benevolence and his regard for my appetite were most unusual, though I'm sure he meant well. He seemed to think he should share in the securing of our foodg thus inspired, he graciously be- stowed on me one day the leg of a horse he had found somewhere, and my refusal of his generous offering greatly disap- pointed him, and he was reluctant to part with the prize that had cost him so much work to bring home. Not long after that, he brought me a pie tin, and on his nose were the evidences of a feast on cherry pie, but I made him understand that he had brought the wrong part. It is evident that raids to the different farmhouses, re- sulting in his bringing pies home that he had found cooling on window sills, made him an enemy of the neighbors, so I had to teach him better manners. Now the part that determines his su- periority in intelligence to most all dogs is an incident which occurred after certain conditions had forced us to move to a new place in the city. The clog was sel- dom permitted in the house, but was allowed to stay long enough to acquire a liking for the sofa in the living room. When chance permitted, he would curl himself up on the sofa and go to sleep. I came home one day, and, walking into the room, I saw him in this atrocious act, so I punished him. The next day, when I came home, I saw him lying, apparently asleep, near the sofa on the floor, but feel- ing the sofa and finding it warm, I knew he had heard me coming and had got off the sofa, so I punished him again. The next day when I came home, I wished to see if he had learned from the punishment administered him, so I walked very cautiously to the room, thinking that if I made no noise, I might catch him in the act: and when I peered into the open doorway, I saw the dog trying to cool the spot where he had been, by frantically blowing on it. Fifig - nine Sixty MY FUTURE By Pauline XVisdom, '31 Lifes just what you make I heard someone say- Your future's in your hands: Start planning today. fi The dreams of a lifetime All enter my plot, I plan-it is my task. Shall I win or not? A goal shining brightly, I see in life's sky. My hopes, will they vanish Or my doubts defy.? Shall I be successful- Or fall by the way? Have I uim to challenge Life, be as it may? Do my plans reach higher Than selfish content? W1'll my life help brighten The place where it's spent? I choose for my future. Not wide, renowned fame- Are lines ever broadened By hearing a name? The help that we offer A down-ana'-out friend Is what makes us greaterg Not how much we spend. If my life means something To some tired soul- Or makes the world better- Then I'ue reached my goal.

Burr, it's cold, she exclaimed. Drawing the covers about her, she began to plan the course for the day. Jack Frost had painted a most picturesque design on the window, and the morning sun shining through it made a delightful picture. lt's cold to go out today, thought joan. I'll stay home and write that Eng- lish theme l must hand in Monday. She jumped out of bed and dressed. After a hearty breakfast she went into the library. She sat down and tried to think of what to write about. It was quite ap- parent that she had no idea whatsoever. After thinking, or rather dreaming for about twenty minutes, she suddenly came upon an idea. She picked up her pen and began to write, when the phone rang. She ran to answer it. Hello - Yes this is Joan - Oh Jack -'Tm sorry but l must write that theme - Oh, all righti'-l'll be ready in about fifteen minutes - Goodbye She changed her dress for a sport frock and put on her leather jacket. just as she put on her tam, she heard Jack drive up before the house. 'Tm going out riding, Mother. l'll be back late, she exclaimed. But Joan, your English theme. Oh, l may get an idea on the way, Mother, goodbye. She ran lightly down the steps and found Jack waiting for her in his new 1931 model Ford coupe. Gee, but it's nice-looking, she exclaimed as he helped Ninety-two her in. They rode for several moments in silence. Suddenly Jack said, You know, Joan, we've lived in St. Louis for such a long time and never have visited the places of interest thoroughly. Would you like to visit the Old Court House? Yes, said Joan, it's something dif- ferent, at any rate. After being delayed in a traffic tangle for about five minutes, they reached the Court House. l..et's begin with the lower quarters and then go up, said Joan, as they walked up the steps. They entered the vestibule and looked around a bit. After a few moments they decided to go down stairs. They first visited the slave quarters where the rebellious negroes had been kept. They were dark, dingy cells with dirt floors and small barred windows at one end. A thin stream of light shining through the barred windows made the cell appear quite horrible. The ventila- tion was poor. l..et's get out of here, said Joan. What a horrible place to keep a human being in. With one last look at this dun- geon, they went on, peering into other cells which were now used as file rooms. After looking at some of the court rooms, they decided to go upstairs. Up they went, on long, narrow, dusty flights of iron stairs. The effect of walking up these deeply inclined steps was dizzying, but when they finally reached the top, it was worth the effort. . .

Upon closer inspection, they found pictures painted all around the walls. They were the pictures of famous men, some on horseback, and others standing or sitting. The color was faded from the pictures and some of them were worn and cracked with age. I wish l knew more about these pic- turesgn said Joan, i'they're so interesting. A bystander quietly informed them that the pictures were painted by Mr. Wimar, an early St. Louis artist, in about l862. The pictures represented the ln- dians attacking the village of St. Louis, the Landing of Lacledef' and De Soto discovering the Mississippi River. There were also portraits of Washington and his wife. V Knowing what the pictures were about, they enjoyed them greatly. Soon they decided to descend. On leaving the building, ,Ioan noticed the huge pillars of the building which were a classic revival of lB40. She hastened her steps, however, when she realized that on these very steps girls of her own age were sold as slaves, often to cruel masters. ln her haste she almost missed seeing the Sundial which was one of the most useful 5 .- 5 ., - 5 .. llallll llllllll' .llllllllllllllllllllllllllh ::.:m llIl lllllllllltllwlilb. 'UIl Ulll1lll'!llllI 7:3351illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllll accessories to the building. Jack noticed it, however. What a beautiful sundial this must have been, he exclaimed. It was near the steps, surrounded by an iron fence. The numerals were nearly all worn off and the gnomon had disappeared en- tirely. After viewing the sundial, they were anxious to look at the other things of importance outside the building. They found a granite boulder in the Court House yard which marked the first trail west which was started near that place in I 764. Before leaving, they looked at the building as a whole which was in the form of a Greek Cross on which a dome of the Renaissance type was erected. The ride home was spent in discussion of what they had seen. Jack proposed that they make a visit to some place of interest every Saturday. joan agreed. Stopping in front of hloanis home, jack said, Don't forget next Saturday, as Joan nodded her head and said, Good- bye. She entered the house in time for lunch. After describing to her mother what she had seen, she re-entered the library. Pick- ing up her pen, she began to write her theme on the subject of the Old Court House.

'31 OW it over started, I do not remem- ber, but the first thing I knew I was in a forest, and was running as fast as I could. Where, when, or why I began to run, I do not know. Still I was running, and I am sure I was not run- ning for any form of exercise. Perhaps it was that mysterious feeling of some- one's being behind me that had first started me running. All I know is that I was running, and was terribly afraid. I dared not look behind, fearful of what might be there. I dared not stop, fearful of what that unknown presence behind me might do. There remained but one thing to do, and that, to keep on running in hopes that whoever was fol- lowing me would give out sooner than I. Thoughts ran through my mind. Who was this mysterious person, animal, or monster who was after me? Would I have to keep on running like this forever in order to keep it from catching me? The sounds made by my mysterious pursuer only proved to me that he was deadly in earnest in trying to capture me, and, going at this rate, he might last for hours. What if I should tire before my pursuer? Would he devour me, make me prisoner, or what horrible thing might he do? I could think of nothing to out- wit him. I was too frightened. All I could do was to keep on running, and this I did. The noise behind me suddenly ceased for a moment. For a second my heart began to beat faster, and I regained my hopes. But it was all to naught, for I soon heard again the noise of rapidly running feet that were slowly but surely gaining on me. This sudden stop had given me new courage, and I thought of several plans I might use to fool him, but I did not yet have enough courage to try them. He would probably defeat any plan that I might make so why should I waste the little time I had ahead of him in letting him have a still better advan- tage. I could run, at least, and this I did with renewed vim and vigor. For the first time I began to notice my surroundings. We were all surrounded by trees, my distant companion and I. The evening was just beginning to lengthen, and the gathering darkness cast mysterious shadows over the trees, and made me more afraid, for I could imagine I saw thousands of eyes staring at me. I was listening closely for every little sound, when at last I was rewarded by hearing the puffing of my pursuer. But that meant that he was gaining. But he was gaining only distance, for in so doing he was losing his strength, while I was losing distance but gaining strength. Still, I did not intend for him to gain in even this one point, but how I could avoid it, I did not know.

EVENING By Alice Dungan. '31 Twilight falls o'er the weary world. Faint breezes sigh in the trees, Tender roses in sleep are curled. Hushed is the song of the bees. The sun has sank in the golden west, And the kind moon wends her way Above a world now steeped in rest. And freed from the reign of day. Shadows tall on the grasses fall. And lovely silence. so sweet, Rules in the hearts and minds of all. And in gentle, healthy sleep. Somewhere a sleepy bird. Heralds the coming eve. Somewhere a loUer's tender word, Is hushed as he turns to leave. Stars peep down a-winking. On the sleepy earth below. And all life is gently sinking. In the eUening's mellow glow.

Sidney Yawitz Director, Miss Eimer 55 ELL, it certainly won't be hard to write a review for the Class Play this year, I said as the curtain closed on Shaw's Pleasant Play, You Never Can Tell. l guess not, said the person on my left. lt will probably be a series of oh's and exclamation marks! And that is just the way l feel. l shall have to watch the article closely or my enthusiasm for the performance will carry me far into the realms of school-girl superlatives. Perhaps part of the success of this year's play lay in the selection. The spontaneous humor of Shaw and the feeling of significance that is always behind trivial remarks. CI understand that is one of Shaw's private jokes. He says things in such a way that one expects some deeper meaning, and no doubt he smilingly sits back watching the search for something that was never intended to be there., The portrayal of Dolly and Phil, and the take-off on modern Youth were price- less! And William was excellently done. l felt that the Mother had quite mastered her part when she was being playfully tolerant to her youngest fthe barbar- iansll The way she said Children- please. Well, mothers have a special tone to use for that, and the loving rebuke was competently managed by Mildred Terry. Who would think that modest Marie Henke could shrug her shoulders and be as disdainful as the Gloria she portrayed? But then, that is Miss Eimer, who sees the latent possibilities of an actor in the student. It is she who fits the parts so suitably and it is through her careful and persistent supervision that a professional touch is given to an amateur performance.

So now Dorothy Hughes, a member of the cast, will review the play from behind the scenes. What little inside secret will she reveal? You Never Can Tell! D. D. You say you want to know what goes on back-stage-some personal affairs? Why do people always want to know how something is, somewhere where they aren't? Nature, l suppose. What can l say? Of course there was that time in the first act when John Peters, alias Valentine, was displaying his well-known ability with Gloria in an inspiring love scene: ul adore you. Ah! how touch- ing was his tone, and then suddenly: Wa-wa-wawln Qlt seems that babies always crave exercise just at the wrong timelj He continued, in spite of the interrup- tion, Gloria l do love you. Wa-waw! fWill that kid ever pipe down? How does anyone expect an in- experienced lovemaker to utter words with that static?J Last night when we were back-stage, just after the curtain had closed on the first act: Say, Phil, were you the least bit scared when you first went out there? No, came the solemn reply, but you get the funniest feeling around your mid- dle. Then there was the time when we first saw Dick Hunt with his make-up on: n Macomas, you have greatly changedzn this was the remark of Mrs. Clandon as she stepped into the room where Miss Om' Hundred IIIHHNIllltllllllllllll UP.. uma iiiwlf -WEY II IIIIIIID .g'llIllll .mui u f mu 'I5IlIliYIlIIIl lW 2 .: .

Really, he had changed from the peppy Central cheer- leader to the inevitable grumpy, fifty- seven years of Mr. Crampton. l remember when l was looking for the roses for Miss Eimer, I found them with Bernice Alexander and Margaret Plunkert in the greenhouse: What are you trying to do? l said. We are doing the dance of the kitchen-maids, they said, as they grace- fully hopped around with the roses. fYou see, they worked back-stage., You know as well as we, what a mar- velous waiter William was, and here is the way he acquired his technique. He followed every old man he saw for two solid months before he let you peep at the results. i'You had better watch when you jump up on that table, Dollief' warned Bohun, the day before the grand opening. The whole end fell yesterday with me on top of it! l don't know why, yet, for there were only two flower-pots and myself on it. If you remember, Bohun was imi- tated by Yawitz, and that perfect scowl he carried was enough to cause the whole end of the building to fall. l am inclined to think, however, that it was not the scowl in this case that made the hit. l wonder if this will suit them.

Back to the old white schoolhouse That stood beneath the hill, Back to the church in the valley YVhere all was so sacred and still. Back to the great wide meadows Where red-top and timothy grew. All sprinkled over with daisies: Wet with the morning dew. Back to the old grape arbor, Back to the strawberry bed, Back to the shadowy corn-crib. Stacked with corn, high overhead. Back to the sassafras bushes Where the wild blackberries grew. Tangled and jumbled and creeping, 'Most as sweet as honey, too. Back to the lane on the hilltop XVhere stood the persimmon trees. Ripening in September's sunshine And October's sprightly breeze. Back to my lovely young Mother Dressed in gingham--so fair- Helping dear grand-ma with baking And preserves of peach and of pear. Back to the lane in the wildwood Where blossomed the red-bud and haw, Where the scent of the wild crab apple XVas sweet-gay the blackbirds' raw. Back to the stream through the valley Where the bluebells and violets bloom To gladden the eye with beauty And fill the air with perfume. Where the sweet virginia creeper Grew over the barbed-wire fence Just like a miniature sunset Filling the air with incense. Back to the weeping willows That dip in the limpid stream Where grew the ferns and the grasses, XVhere lovers came to dream. Back to the little graveyard Where underneath the sod Slept many friends reposing. Awaiting the summons of God. Back to the home by the roadside Where stood the mulberry tree. Where every morn the turtle-dove Sang so mournfully. Thus. as I sit in the twilight. Watching the fires flickering glow, I close my eyes, pretending l'm back in the long ago.

NEWS By Rana Pipiens ELL, my RED AND BLACK friends, here I am to tell you about a piece of paper called the News. I suppose most of you read our school paper, scanning its pages for bits of news concerning some friends, ac- tivities or perhaps even yourself. But do you ever stop to wonder who wrote this article, or who put that in? The News reporters are sagacious sleuths. Beware! if you don't want any scandal printed. One of your best friends might betray you. Our paper, you know, has a knack of hearing, seeing, and know- ing all, But here is a little inside dope. Jeannette is known for her cleverness, but--as for me, I'd just as soon be an ordinary reporter, as get myself into her position, so busy that she's miserable. And then, too, there's Mike in the same position-only he gets by with mere edi- torials that anyone could write. But he is a pretty good fellow for the size shoe he wears. He had his dose of work last term. And-can you picture Ethel Dempsey slaving her life away in the News office? Perhaps stranger things have happened. However, there is one person on the staff who likes interview- ing. She is no other than Dorothy Bur- meister. Did you ever hear about Dot's hobby-interviewing all the Freshies? She finds them very interesting. Then there's Morris Kaufman, who can be blamed for most of the personals He claims nothing escapes his ears fwhat wonderful large ears he must have!J The assistant editors are really quite temperamental. Now take Clarence, for instance, always talking, but if you'd dare to mention Boy Scout medals he'd shut up like a clam-try and see. Hilda, on the other hand, declares she must be in the mood to write this way or that. She's wise, if you get what I mean. And Dick Hunt appears to be peppy and enthusi- astic around school, doesn't he? But you should watch him while he is endeavoring to put his thoughts on paper-scratching his head, mumbling, fidgeting around when fwith a leap and a yelpl he has an idea. lt's one great comic strip. Now Morris Weiss is reaching for Brundidge's place. He doesn't believe Brundidge has the right method of writing. I think Mor- ris can do better. lf you don't believe me, ask him. The boys' sports are covered by Rob- ert Potashnick, the editor, and Virgil Tramelli and Irwin Sokolik, his right- hand assistants. These boys play this section of the paper fairly well. Once in a while they strike out and the girls' sports score a run-Christine Smith, be- ing the batter. Running from the field, we bump right into a fellow called Joe Dettling. Somehow that name seems familiar, n'esI-ce pas? Where have I seen it before? Oh, of course, in the funny paper, er-a-excuse me-I mean on our school paper comic strip. Fred Toelle is with him, too. fWhat is that saying- Ubirds of a feather Hock togetheri' 9, He is the cartoonist, and a good one, too.

Now, l can tell you anything you'cl like to know about these boys-l watch them extraordinarily closely. But whatever you do, don't breathe a word to them about this l'm going to tell you-buzz-buzz-buzz! Believe it or not. l can remember Helen and Virginia, commonly known as our Feature Writers, with their heads together, backs bent, digging into Hydas Course in JOurr70ll'St1'C Wr1'I1'ng. Catherine Garofalo, Ruth Lander, Dolores Wentz, Marie Koepp, and Dorothy Johnson make up the News quintette of gfrl reporters, while lost Washburn, Clarence Benjamin, Thomas Weir, and Ben Zlepper hold down the boys' end of the job. Jean Berger, a post-graduate, has proved her worth by accepting the job as typist and fnterpreter. Mr. Gundlach, our sponsor, has a patent on his own handwriting and offers a reward to anyone who could forge his name and-get by with it. Before saying adieu l'd like to tell you about my surprise. Ever s'nce l've been on the staff, l've been only a re- porter, but now all the bg business men and women of the staff are graduating and I shall run for the position of co-editor. THE. DULCIMER CLUB I By Pauline W isdom. '31 Music study exalts life. O HAVE in one's possession some degree of musical development is to be the master of an achievement, the owner of a treasure, the possessor of a bit of wealth. One who has an apprecia- tion of tone in music may receive uimost joy, sublime pleasure, wholescme enter- tainment, or rare comfort from a few harmonious stra'ns or chords. Music may be considered a luxury, a necessity, or even a solace, depending entirely upon the feelings of an indi- vidual: the person of meager circum- stances might easily consider a bit of musi- cal enjoyment a luxury: certain religious classes consider music almost a necessity in their church services: the tired, discour- aged or sad heart would no doubt find certain consolation in music: therefore it would be a solace. Music is an expression of emotions or feelings and has the same effect upon our lives as an interesting poem or a lovely work of art. The best art, poetry, or mus'c aids in raising our ideals, ambitions, and even our thoughts. Our very lives are greatly influenced by music. Music tends to change our moods: one can't easily be despondent while listening to an extremely gay number: neither can one feel particularly gay or frivolous while a m'nor-key melody is being played.

The individual who has not developed a love for music, undoubtedly has a touch of emptiness in his soul. More and more the educational world has realized the importance of musical training, however, not attempting to pro- duce great musical artists but merely en- deavoring to train the various groups to the value of the pleasure which may be derived from music. The Dulcimer, one of Central's musical organizations, was formed for the sole purpose of developing tone quality and promoting group singing. The Dulcimer fmeaning sweetness of tone, is a girls' club, which was organized in l906, under the leadership of Miss Teresa Finn. The club is now progressing under the direc- tion and sponsorship of Mr. Bluthardt, Central's supervisor of music. The Dulcimer participates in various school activities, such as Commencement, musical concerts, and other special meet- ings and occasions. The membership requirements for the club are good scholarship, and the ability 1 - tmm umm' imtlllllilllilllllillilll 2:ra: 'lllI lvfillllllllpxvgglQW-.unn!I!lIH1 ZIZFIIENlIllIlIlllU!lllll1!lXlI1llU'Il to pass a simple vocal test given by the sponsor.

There are very few meet- different and boasts thirty members. Activity is the ings at school and the club spends every convenient Saturday hiking to some in- teresting place that offers adventures un- told. The trips are interesting, invigorat- ing, and educational. Don't grumble when you hear educational, for it's the kind of education you like to have. Miss Watkins makes this education entirely different and enjoyable. For instance, the letters B-A-M represent trees hav- ing opposite branching. Thus with a few more particulars, such as color and shapes, you can recognize trees very easily. Easy to remember, fun to learn, and something you won't forget. Then, meetings are sometimes held in a shady nook. With a brook rippling by, the birds offering gay songs overhead, we, encircling our genial Councilor, listen to orders or discuss necessary subjects. We must not forget to mention a char- acter who is always into mischief and has to be watched like a babe. Oh! lt slipped. Now you know. lt's the babe of the club, Harold Philipps. At our last meeting in the woods with Miss Watkins, we seriously considered appointing a com- mittee to keep an eye on our Babe, although l'm not sure he would care for so much attention. To go on with our discussion, l wish to impress upon you the fact that these trips are not only good sport but also offer good opportunities for those who want to learn about nature in all its as- pects. Specimens are brought in, named, discussed, and displayed. Anything out of the ordinary, if not recognized by the pupils, is brought to Miss Watkins. lf the specimen cannot be picked or carried away, a shrill yell brings the members from all directions to gaze upon the object found. After these trips, we return home very happy and tired, but proud of the knowledge we have gathered in the woods.

And nearly everyone thinks he can sing, for to have seen the membership of this organization the last term would have been convincing. But this term the gift of singing would seem to be possessed by only a few. At the beginning of the term our sponsor, Mr. Bluthardt, gave the club a thorough house-cleaning. We were given a severe voice test in an effort to find some talent. There are approximately thirty members, with which number we are able to get through the songs and finish together. And, again, a lot of effort is put into the songs, with fair results. Encouragement and untiring efforts on the part of Mr. Bluthardt are shown in the selection of more songs. Following are some of the titles in our repertory: The Kiss Waltz, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, On the Road to Mandalay, and The Open Road. The latter is probably our favorite for it has the steady rhythm of a march and appeals to the spirit of adven- ture. Singing is not the only business trans- acted in our organization. A committee was appointed to secure catalogues which would enable us to get ideas on pins. This discussion of pins is a lively issue every time it is brought up, with the re- sult that a pin will soon be adopted. We do not forget to offer a vote of appreciation to our accompanist, Miss Freiburghaus. Early in the term the following officers were elected: President ....,.,.. . . ...,.

'33 T the beginning of the Football season last year, Central organized a uniformed band under the leader- ship of Mr. Bluthardt, and since that time, they have held regular practice every other morning and afternoon in the auditorium. With George Carson, our peacock, and John Weidknecht, the captain, the Red and Black ensemble marched down the field at the stadium at every game, adding pep to the boys' fighting on the field. The basketball season then arrived and at each Central game, the band appeared in the stands at the St. Louis University Gymnasium. Since organization, the band boys have mastered eleven pieces and are still hold- ing regular practice. They are now rehearsing to appear at the Mississippi Valley Exposition at the Arena on the evenings of lVlay the fourth and May the eighth for a twenty-minute concert each evening. The following is a list of the members of the Band: Alderman, Marcus Land, Herman Cameron, Harold lVlilnes, William Cole,Eugene Nixon, Joe Robinson, Ed Reichenbach, Louis Siegfried, Clarence Willhite, Nathan Weidknecht, john Desimone, jasper Ebbinghaus, William Farrell, Stuart Hughes, Dorothy Hale, Harold lscher, Ed jameton, Leon Jackson, Orville Kaplan, Sol Sponsor: lVl Carson, George Britton, George Tubbesing, George Castelli, Vincent r.

'31 HE Central High School Orchestra is one of the most important and also one of the oldest organizations of the school. The object of the orchestra is to stimulate love for music and to fur- nish the musical background for gradua- tion, color day, and various other oc- casions. The orchestra is composed of approximately fifty players who aspire to be musicians some day. Any student that is proficient in any orchestral instrument may join the orches- tra provided he has the first period free. Practice is held twice a week, on Wednes- day and Friday, in the auditorium. Dues of fifty cents are charged to pay for new music and repair of instruments belonging to the orchestra. Under the sponsorship of Mr. George A. Bluthardt the orchestra has been very capably managed. Several years ago, when Central was a large school, there were two orchestras, junior and senior, but since the size of our school has been decreased, we have only our orchestra in a public performance in our auditorium. The orchestra was then one of the best in the city. After the per- formance, Mr. Sousa complimented our orchestra. Mr. Sousa is a famous band- master known all over the United States and in foreign countries. Officers are elected at the beginning of each term. The office of vice-president is honorary, being filled by the president of the preceding term. The officers elected for the term from September, l930, to January, l93l, are as follows: President . ...., . . . . . .Sam Becker Vice-President .. Al Rosenbloom Secretary . . . , Morris Kaufman Treasurer . .. . Mike Hadgicostas Librarian . .. .

The Boys' Literary Society has again furnished the material necessary for the Boys' Debating Teams. This year the number of candidates for the team has been larger than usual and favorable re- sults were expected and received from these candidates. The clebaters brought the Princeton Cup home to Central. The Society also sponsored the Armis- tice Day Program. Louis Reichenbach, jacob Lerner, Alfred Chotinsky, George Huemmer, Hymen Silverberg, Chas. Snider, and Charles Farina delivered speeches on the Meaning of Armistice Day to the High School Student . Edwin Kimberlin acted as chairman of the pro- gram. The Society's mid-year Commencement Program was held on Thursday, January Lucas, Jacob Lerner, Edwin Kimberlin, and Hymen Silverberg by Mr. Douglass. The program for the day was furnished by these graduating members, subjects for their speeches being assigned by the society's sponsor, Mr. Davis. There are eight members of this society graduating in June, l93l. They are Morris Duggan, Charles Farina, Joe Goldstein, George Huemmer, Michael Hadgicostas, Morris Kaufman, Constan- tine Lamperson, and Charles Snider. Among this number will be all the present officers. Ofhcers of term September, l930, to january, l93l: President ...,. , ,. . . George Huemmer Vice-President . , .

'32 HE Central High debating teams, as a result of their victories over both Cleveland and Beaumont on Friday, March 20, and their double vic- tory over Soldan in the final champion- ship contest on Friday, March 27, were awarded the Princeton Cup. To retain this cup permanently, Central must win two more legs on it. On March 20 the Central Affirmative team defeated the Cleveland Negative team by a judges' vote of 2 to l. Cn the same day the Central Negative team, who were the guests of the Beaumont Affirmative team, defeated the Beaumont team by a unanimous vote. However, on the same night, the Sol- dan teams also gained a double victory. This necessitated a final contest between Central and Soldan, which was held on Friday, March 27. On this night the Cen- tral Affirmative team went to Soldan and defeated the Soldan Negative team by a vote of 2 to l, while the Central Nega- tive team unanimously defeated the Sol- dan Affirmative team. By virtue of these four victories, Central was declared the winner and awarded the Princeton Cup. The Central Affirmative team consisted of Michael Hadgicostas, Edward Cuar- stang, Louis Reichenbach and Phil Berg- sieker. The negative team consisted of William Dillas, George Huemmer, james I-ladgicostas, and joseph Goldstein. The entire school joins in congratulat- ing the Debating Team for overcoming the strong opposition offered them by their opponents. The teams were coached by Mr. Davis and Mr. Detering. 'f l ' 4-ij.

'31 HE Girls' Literary Society, consist- ing of twenty-six members, meets every Thursday at 2:40 in room 206. Under the guidance of our presi- dent, Jeannette Beard, the Society is divided into eight groups. One of these groups presents a program each week. The programs based on biographies of authors and their works, on the works of poets, and interesting articles which ap- pear in current magazines, have interest and variety. The meetings of the society are very dignified, and parliamentary pro- cedure prevails. The purpose of the Society is to en- courage the reading of good literature so that knowledge and culture may be de- veloped. The Girls' Literary Society is asked each year to present a program for Me- morial Day in the auditorium which is one of the important events of the year. Another event is the party or outing, at which time the Society presents to the president of the past term a pin in ap- preciation for the worlc she has rendered. The officers for the fall term were: President ..,,..... ,,,...... ......,,.., L i llian Fink Vice-President . .. ,.....,.,... Hilda Kohm Secretary ......,,..........,. Jeanette Rudman Treasurer .......... . ......, Margaret Plunkert News Representative ,..i. Jeannette Beard The fall term was a very successful one.

They do not devote all their time to debating, however, for on March 4, sev- eral in the club, coached by their presi- dent, Helen Omoran, gave a mock trial in the school auditorium in an effort to increase the membership, reduced by the january graduation. The semi-annual initiation always proves one of the most interesting fea- tures of each term for it is at this time that all new members are made to ride the goat and do all kinds of dreadful things. They are not treated too severely, however, for they are always eager to join the society. -fe- T Qffgifsfaii-2' '-. -' Last term the club was presided over by the following officers: President . .... ...,.,..

'31 PICTURE is not only that which appears on the surface, a harmony of colors, but is something with a far deeper meaning. Many pupils have felt a desire to learn what this meaning is, and for that purpose the Art Apprecia- tion Club was formed. It is to help pu- pils get more enjoyment from the various fields of art. Under the guidance of Miss Olmstead, our sponsor, the club is always discovering something new and interest- ing about the different branches of art. Many of the latest art interests are taken up in the club, and discussions are held about them. In this way the members are continually learning about art and artists. The meetings are held on Thursdays after school. The club convenes alter- nately, one week at school in room I03 and one week at the Art Museum. Miss Powell and her assistants deliver talks that are extremely interesting and en- lightening. They talk on subjects parallel with those discussed at school, and when- ever there is a special exhibition at the Museum on our meeting day, they talk about it. The activities of the club are operated on a point basis. For service, attendance, and notebooks, the members receive a given number of points. At the end of each term, prizes are given to those who have the highest number of points. Miss Olmstead gathers these prizes on her various trips abroad, and they are indeed prizes worth having.

Now a new term is at hand, and it is expected to be a successful one for the club. Under the sponsorship of our chemistry teacher, Mr. Wilson, the mem- bers of the club expect to have an enjoy- able time this term. Trips are taken every other Tuesday to places of interest. We have made trips to the St. Louis Oxygen Company, to the Proctor Gr Gamble Soap Company, and to the St. Louis Dairy Company. Other interesting trips are planned for the future. The club is growing and we are de- veloping into a set of prospective chem- ists. Under our present officers we expect to accomplish much and to advance ahead of our predecessors.

'32 HE club of Central High that stands for cooperation and service is the Co-C-Hi. It is made up of a group of girls who try to live up to its motto of Courtesy, Kindness, Helpfulness. One of the most important jobs of the Co-C-Hi is the sponsorship of the fresh- man girls. The club tries to make the freshmen feel at home by means of a freshman party, by appointing freshman sponsors, and by showing a friendly in- terest in the newcomers during their first term. Each freshman sponsor has about seven or eight girls to look after. Each five weeks they find out their girls' grades and if they are failing, they discover the reason and encourage the freshmen to do better. Co-C-Hi members also take care of traffic on the stairway, courtesy seating in the auditorium, selling of football, bas- ketball, and play tickets, locker room and sick room, and any other duty the school may call upon them to perform. Because of this they are called the coitiperators of Central High. Of course, the Co-C-Hi has its social times also in pleasant parties and get-togethers. The club was organized in l920 by Miss Matthews, but in l924 the present sponsor, Miss Dickman, took up the work. So you see the Co-C-Hi is only about eleven years old. Requirements for membership are a good scholastic standing and recommen- dations by several teachers. If you want to join, hand in your application to the sponsor, Miss Dickman in room l06.

CLASSICAL CLUB By Jeanette Rudman, '32 HE classical unit of Central, for students interested in such work, is represented by the Classical Club. Those students who are interested in Latin and Greek find this society very helpful to them. The club has presented many varied programs which carry out the purpose of the organization: namely, to inspire the further study of Latin and Greek. Such subjects as Roman and Greek gods, heroes, weddings, and literature have been discussed at our meetings. Several plays have also been presented. Our president, Omega Courtwright, has been very efficient and has conducted our meetings in a very pleasing manner. Perry Buckner is our vice-president and has the honor of making up our programs. Each member of the club has a chance to be on the program. The secretary of the club is Jeanette Rudman and she is the one who asks puzzling questions when new members take their oaths of office. As all treasurers do, Rowena Overby col- lects our dues and gives us all blues. Miss Heltzell is the sponsor of the Life of Julius Caesar at its open meet- ing this term. The mighty Perry Buckner was the modern Julius Cesar. His slayer was Mary Kirkpatrick, who took the part of Brutus. Before Brutus stabbed Perry, Omega Courtwright, who took the part of Calpurnia, handed a banana to Perry so that the task of falling after being stabbed would not be so very hard. The two soothsayers, Elizabeth Hudson and Sara Coombes, warned Caesar against Brutus, and as a reward, each one re- ceived a piece of the delicious banana. The play was very humorous and we found the members laughing instead of weeping over Julius Caesar's death. The requirement for Classical Club membership is that the applicant must have successfully completed one year of Latin. Applicants should enter the club before their senior year. The Classical Club would be glad to have members who would help to carry out its purpose suc- cessfully. Welcome to our club! The officers for this term are as follows: President .,..........,.,..

To the less superstitious it is just another day. The members of the Cen- tral High Aeronautical Club belonged to the latter group, when they defied that superstitious date, became air-minded, and went on a trip to the St. Louis Mu- nicipal Airport. The Aeronautical Club members and its guests arrived at the airport, and a guide, Mr. Cambell, was assigned to them. He took them over to the Curtiss Robin factory. While walking to the fac- tory, which was at the other end of the field, our attention was called to a plane which was landing. Our guide told us it was the Air Mail Plane from lndianapolis. At the factory we were shown through the machine shop where parts of the plane One Hundred and Thirty-four are made. Then we went into the fuse- lage department, where the fuselage or body of the plane is welded together. From there we went to the wing-making department where we heard the different stages of wing making explained. Then we went to where they painted and doped. We were shown how the wings are clothed and sewed. From there we went to the assembling and storage de- partment where the finished planes are kept until ready to go to the sales depart- ment. The factory was producing Curtiss Jr. planes and the storage room contained many of these planes. The Curtiss Jr. is a light plane which sells for 551940. There were also several Curtiss Robins and Coupea planes. A large eight-passenger Kingbird plane was being assembled for 'Pia I mi - , 1- ' ' ' ' 2 F ' -mt 4 2,ll. mill, f im- ,., f fa- llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 'Milli un ll Wlllllllllllllllb llllllll llllllfll lllllll llllllllllllllllll' 'llllllllll the United States Marines. Another Kingbird was being worked upon by ten men, as it was supposed to be ready for the Interstate Airlines on Saturday, the fourteenth. We looked out of the storage room to the test flight field. Up in the air, a Curtiss Tanager was being stunted by an aviator. He tried to put the Tanager into a tailspin but it would right itself again. He Hew the plane so that it looked as if it were still. The Curtiss Tanager is the only plane that can be flown like this. We watched the Tanager land. We were told that it had a landing speed of five miles an hour. Other planes need a landing speed of at least twenty- five miles an hour. The plane landed and we had a chance to examine it at close range. It was like an ordinary plane, except that it had floating allirons and wing- slots. This is what caused the plane to win the Guggenheim Safety Plane contest. lt will not spin or nosedive. From the factory we went to the St. Louis School of Aviation, which invited us to go up. Meanwhile we saw a plane landing. It was a tri-motored Ford plane. On the side of the plane were the letters T, A. T. Under these letters was the head of an Indian and the words: Transcontinental Air Transport. lt was learned that the plane was from Co- lumbus, Ohio, bound for Kansas City, its next stop. We watched it refuel and take off. Eleven of us decided to go up. The plane, number C-l929, was a Stinson Detroiter. The plane made three trips, carrying four passengers each time. The. last trip, on which Mr. Pinkus and l went, 'llllllI Mlllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllll 'WIN ll'lllllllll!ll'f' 'llll' lillllllllllll W. 'lllll1lIN'lllllllllllllllllUll was at five-thirty. The sun was setting and it was throwing out rays of light like a sparkling gem. After we had entered the plane we taxied to the eastern end of the field and turned around. The wind was blowing from west to east and there- fore our pilot pointed the plane due west. With the throttle in high we were off, westward, into the wind. l looked out of the cabin and watched the wheel of the plane as we skimmed along the ground. Suddenly l saw the wheel leave the ground and l knew we were up. Up amid the dazzling rays of the setting sun. It had started to grow dark, but it was still light enough to see the surrounding country side- a farm- house here, barns and fields there, a stream winding in and out like a snake. ln the east could be seen the Mississippi River. It looked like an inch-wide strip of silver ribbon. Turning toward the northwest l could see the Missouri River winding in and out. We were at an alti- tude of eight hundred feet. I didn't think it could be possible to see the Mississippi River east and then turn northwest and see the Missouri River. ln the space between these two rivers lies St. Louis. ln less than ten seconds l had covered with my vision the whole city of St. Louis. After ten minutes of Hying, we landed. The landing was a soft one: the wheels hit the ground with a light bounce and the tail skid dragged along the ground. We taxied up to a hangar and alighted. The plane was taken into a hangar. We paid for our ride and started for home. The trip was enjoyed by all, and we hope to visit the airport again, some time in the near future.

ATHLETIC COUNCIL By Melvin Oppliger, '31 HE Athletic Council is a group of boys and teachers whose purpose it is to direct and manage all affairs pertaining to the athletic interests of the school. It consists of representatives of the faculty and the student body in equal numbers, six of each being chosen. Fac- ulty members are appointed by Mr. Douglass, and changes are few and infre- quent. Student representatives are elected for no dehnite term, but remain members of the Council as long as they are at Central and in good standing. As members leave school, their places in the Council are filled by election. At the beginning of each term, it is found that there are sev- eral vacancies due to members graduat- ing or leaving school for some other reason. ln that case, nominees are sub- mitted by the coaches of the various sports, subject to the approval of the Principal and then voted upon by the Athletic Association, to which every Cen- tral boy belongs. The election of officers is taken over by the Council itself. The president and vice-president are always chosen from the student representatives, while the secre- tary and treasurer are selected from among the faculty members. One of the important problems that must be decided each term is the amount of money to be spent on the various sports. It is necessary to have the vote of the majority of the Council to approve a budget of any sport. Another problem is to decide which of the participants of the various sports are to receive athletic awards. The Council, in its monthly meetings, sets the dates for pep sessions and determines the method by which the sale of tickets is to be carried on. ' Many other interesting and important problems come up from time to time con- nected not only with our local affairs, but also with the affairs of the St. Louis High School League, as two of our Council members sit regularly in the meetings of the League Board. Melvin Oppliger presides over the meetings for this year, while Lawrence Biondo, as vice-president, takes the chair in the absence of the president. The sec- retarial duties this year are taken over by Mr. Friedli, and the financial affairs are competently handled by Mr. Christenson. Mr. Douglass and Mr. Weir are ex-officio members. The other faculty members of the Coun- cil are as follows: Mr. Bailey, coach of football and track: Mr. Newman, coach of tennis and baseballg Mr. Gould, High School Representative: Mr. Kittlaus, Cus- todian. Pete Keleman, james Prosser, Vernon Arms, and David Nax are the other student members. One Htzndred and Thirty-seven THE COMMITTEE OF TXVENTY THE. COIVINIITTEE. OF 20 By MeIUz'n OppYiger. '31 NE is apt to think that an organiza- tion which has for its sole purpose cooperation with the school, would be rather at a loss for activities. But it is really surprising to know the number of ways that the Committee of 20 finds in which to be of service to the school. The Committee of 20 is a rather new organization. For four terms it has suc- cessfully progressed under the guidance of the most competent of sponsors, Mr. Frieclli, efficient officers, and conscien- tious members. Each has endeavored to make the work of the club enjoyable, in- teresting, and successful. With the aid and cooperation of each, we feel that we have built up an organization that has been greatly beneficial to our school. One Hundred and Thirly-eight ' To start the term's activities, the cus- tomary party was given for the freshman boys. It proved to be a howling success, and after a happy afternoon of entertain- ment, one episode of which was an inter- esting treasure hunt through Fairgrounds Park, the boys marched to the lunchroom, where they ate most heartily. This party, given each term, makes the new students feel as much at home as possible in their new surroundings. The members also have taken the re- sponsibility of tutoring freshmen who have failing grades and want help. Dur- ing the past term this organization has provided cheer-leaders for the athletic events, and, together with the Co-C-Hi, 743 An X I, , YJ:,,r. ,A 5 A og iv i Xxx ww: Af, I NA Ava 20 :M JAY .5 f -I' 'A 0 ' 'f Q W U I l ln- ' i A .. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllfii 'Ullll mil IK .illlillllllllllllll '3Zh..1lIllllll ifllllillll lllllll fllllllllllllllllllllflg. llllllllls..f,l 'l'lllllll Wllllllt illllllllllllllllllllllllll 557-3-w lll llllllllllllllllglllllllllillllillllllll nvxifllllunllllllullllllllulllnull presented a Christmas program to the school.

There is only one performance this year, but the school has put forth every effort to make the annual finstead of semi-annual, as formerlyj a success. The new policy of having each class rep- resented in the yearbook was introduced by Mr. Douglass, his object being the creation of greater interest in school-wide activities. ln his scheme the lower class- men, knowing their material would be judged only with productions by others in their own rank, really became inter- ested and gave vent to their budding authorship under the direction of the English Department. Since the RED AND BLACK is a stage, we readers may imagine ourselves an audience, witnessing a pageant of school life over the footlights of printed pages. First, the Freshman has his entrance- then, the Junior, next, the Sophomore- and last scene of all, we see the Senior leaving high school to find that All the World's a Stage and even he must play a part. THE STUDENT AID FUND N THE years to come hundreds of Central High School students will have occasion to take advantage of the income from a special memorial fund recently instituted by the Misses Sarah E. and Susan M. Simmons, in memory of their sister, Miss Emma P. Simmons, long a member of Central's faculty. The fund is already aiding young men and women who might otherwise be un- able to complete their high-school work. lts purpose is to bridge the gulf of pres- ent need, but it leaves an opportunity for future repayment in instances where that may be practical. The students of Central High take this means of expressing their sincere appre- ciation to the Misses Simmons for their generosity. The memorial will mean mental fitness for many and an unending tribute to the woman who served on Cen- tral's faculty for many years as a teacher who was much loved and respected.

But now romantic school children go to the movies, and, after hearing Oxford English as spoken by our illustrious film colony, decide that they, too, in ten lessons, can say eyether without embarrassment. So after ten talking pictures, they try it out at home or on their classmates, but in two or three attempts they are disillusioned by the laughs and jeers of their friends, who say they are putting on. Of course one can't be thought affected: therefore, with one last sigh, the Clive Brook accent is given up, and the great renunciation fin- , stead of pronunciationlj is made. Ah, it's sad, but jolly well true, nevertheless, that one has a beastly time speakin' Ox- ford English here in the Middle West! WHO PUT THE H IN CENTRAL? H 7' IS for apple, B is for boy: but H is for Central. The explanation is very simple, but many students don't realize why the school letter isn't a Central holds a unique and honored position, being the oldest high school this side of the Missis- sippi River. It seemed natural that they should adopt the H for their school let- ter, since it was at that time the only High. Then along came Soldan, Cleveland, Roosevelt, Beaumont, and many St. Louisans were educated under the letters S, C, R, and B, but Central still held the H, not merely as a distinc- One Hundred and Forty-four tion from Cleveland, but as an honorary title in recognition of the dignity that comes with age. SPEED THE DAY ECENTLY, in class, a teacher made this statement, A spiritual or edu- cational gain is worth far more than a million dollars. That was a striking thing to say before a class of high- school students, and in the usual manner, the first impulse was to laugh. However, the teacher was not embarrassed. If we're not mistaken, she looked just a little superior and smiled, not at her own state- ment, but at the poor little scoffers who knew not whereof they scoffed. After all, are material possessions subordinate to the development and power of the mind? Is there such a thing as a million- aire of ideas? No doubt there is among the truly great people of the world-for it would take a great person to be satisfied with a brilliant mind and no material luxu- ries. When a person is endowed with talent, usually the first thing he thinks of is to use that gift in some remunerative way. We are living through a period of depression-a period when many are suf- fering from a lack of money. Strange if the outcome of this condition would be the realization by many that there are more important things in life than wealth! There might even come a time when America will be less money-minded-a time when manners, refinement, and edu- cation will count more than the Almighty Dollar-a time when high-school students will not laugh when they are told that an educational gain is priceless! ..w'5' TL' ',,s W e TY , .- ' - V ' 'f -Q -A,..'

A staff of ballot-coun- ters carefully tallied each vote, from the Freshman's Tom Sawyer to the mighty Senior's All Quiet on the Western Front, and the following books are the actual preference of the majority of stu- dents. Although the list is representative rather than recommended, the selection is a worthy one to be made by so large a number of students. Perhaps this sum- mer, when it's too warm to play tennis, and the risk of a blistering sunburn is too great for swimming, you may like to seek some shady nook and see if your reading taste corresponds to that of the average Centralite.

'31 lTl-l football and basketball over, new sports attract the interests of the student body. Of course, track holds predominance, not only in student interests, but also by drawing the greatest number of athletes to the field of sport. With the enthusiasm which usually accompanies the introduction of a new sport, a great number of boys, especially midgets, answered the call to track, which was sent out about the mid- dle of March. Track is one sport in which the younger students have an opportunity to display their ability, because in track, each boy competes in his own division with boys of his own age. The boys were turned over to our new coach from lowa State Teachers' College. Mr. Bailey. To him was delegated the task of selecting from this squad, a team of boys most Ht to represent Central on the track and field. He was aided in his selection by the return of eight lettermen. However, the rest of the boys were for the most part, inexperienced and un- trained: and from these he had the rather difficult task of picking the best runners, jumpers, and fieldmen. After the team had been rounded into of its strength lay in the midget division. These shape, it was found that most youngsters came through with Hying colors, winning a meet from the Cleve- land midgets and losing to the strong Beaumont and Roosevelt teams by the small margins of eleven and ten points respectively. The greatest achievement came in the lnterscholastic Meet when they prevented Roosevelt from making a clean sweep of all cups offered, by win- ning the midget cup. By taking the lead in the relay race on the last lap, they nosed out Roosevelt by half a point, in a very closely contested bid for midget honors, the final score being 24M to 24. There were fewer boys out for the junior division, which fact was account- able for its somewhat weaker showing. The juniors dropped dual meets to both Roosevelt and Beaumont by rather large scores, but took a closely contested meet from Cleveland, winning by three points. They were our second strongest division, capturing fourth place and seven points in the lnterscholastic Meet. There were still fewer boys out for the senior division, which showed up weakest. Getting off to a bad start by dropping their first meet to Beaumont by a large score, they followed up with a similar defeat by Western Military Academy. ln the next meet, however, they partially redeemed themselves by finishing ahead of Cleveland in a quadrangular meet in which Principia and University City were the other two interested parties, thus mak- ing a clean sweep of our preliminary meets against Cleveland. ln the lnterscholastic Meet, the seniors had to be content with last place, since they could only score two points. Robert Holley, consistent high-point man all season, ran true to form in the lnterscholastic Meet, by scoring more One Hundred and Forty-nine THE FOOTBALL TEAM . . ,fm , u Q no I! 61 . 1 nun mm' Nylullllllllllllllllllll 'III Illlllllllllll 'IW IIIIIIIIIIIIII wlln1IllIl mIIIIII 4 li ' A if Q as . tuba X X V jf' If ' ,Rv ' ' 0 ' rm. at A L . . . ..

In the junior division, Melvin Oppliger was the only junior to score, besides the relay team, which placed third. James Wolff, running his last race for Central, placed fourth in the 880. The senior relay col- lected the other point for that division. The following summaries show how the Centralites came out in the Track and Field Meet on May 23, I930. MIDGET DIVISION 6 lb.

Although we had to be satisfied with the fourth place in the Interscholastic Meet, the winning of the midget cup was an achievement of which to be proud. FOOTBALL By Jim Hadgicoslas. '32 I-IEN football candidates were called for in early September by our new coach, Mr. Bailey, nearly sixty boys answered the call. Out of this squad there were eleven lettermen from the 1929 season. Each boy had to fight for his position and after a hard period of training, Coach Bailey and assistant coaches, Mr. Detering and Mr. Markland, chose a starting eleven for the St. Charles game. I Central, led by I-Iassler, Jouret, and Biondo, easily defeated St. Charles by a score of I9-0, to open the season. The next game was played with Principia Junior College, and Central, although outweighed almost fifteen pounds to a man, held Principia to a scoreless tie. The next game was a night game played with Crystal City High School, at Crystal City, Missouri. Owing partly to the unfamiliar conditions under which it played, Central lost by a 7-0 score. How- ever, acting Captain Glazier made several brilliant runs, and Boas, our star right end, broke up many of Crystal City's end runs. The last pre-season game was with McBride, one of the leading contenders for the Prep League championship. For the past two years Central and Mc- Bride fought to a 6-6 tie, but this time One Hundred and Ififly-one aqua ..w ' I LLL lj' pq A 'S in r -W -.-' 1 ' 'QTL 1-ii? . -1-1 ---,A I ,A -, f..

On Saturday, Oct. 27, the Public High School schedule started, and Central played Roosevelt. Roosevelt won by a score of I2-0, both touchdowns being made in the first half. ln the second half Central held Roosevelt fwho later won the league championshipl scoreless, and threatened to score several times them- selves although the Red and White team battled its way to Victory and finally won the league championship. The following Saturday Central played Beaumont. Both teams showed excellent defensive work, which prevented long runs on either side. However, Beaumont won by a 6-0 score, on a long pass to Carlin for a touchdown, with less than half a minute to play. Central's next league game was with the heavy Soldan team, winners of the I929 championship. Central lost this fast and interesting game by a 7-0 score, only after a long and hard-fought battle. The following Saturday Central played a practice game with Normandy, co-lead- ers of the County League. The entire Central first squad of about thirty players was used. Coach Bailey scheduled this game with the purpose of giving the sec- ond team men ancl promising players that were returning the next season a chance to gain some experience. The final score stood in favor of Normandy, I4-0. Central's final league game was played with the powerful Cleveland team. Cen- tral lost by a 46-7 score. lsadore Glazier scored Central's touchdown and Law- rence Biondo plunged through center for the extra point.

Those receiving letters for the season were Julius Jouret, center: James Wolff and Joe De Luca, ends: joe Bono, Nat Bierman, and Eugene Brosus, tacklesg Vasilios Lambros, Woodrow Walsh, and John Finley, guards: lsadore Glazier and Clem Wright, halfbacksg Carl Newsom and Frank Kessler, quarterbacks, and Lawrence Biondo, fullback. Those receiving numerals were Russell Potter, Dale Riley, Thomas Powers, Pete Keleman, Arthur Brosius, William Han- son, ,Ioe Amato, junior Sneed, and Ken- neth Weiss. Although Central finished last in the Public High School League, it was repre- sented by a group of clean, hard-working boys who formed what was called by sev- eral coaches the hardest fighting team in the city. Only four lettermen are return- ing next year, but most of the promising second-team men are expected back, and prospects are rather bright for the next season.

'31 HEN the curtain was drawn on the final act of the mammoth basketball show of the season l930-3l, it brought to a close four months of the most erratic basketball playing ever witnessed in high-school cir- cles. Even the final game of the season was an abrupt and disappointing ending to what started out to be a very successful tournament, as far as Central was con- cerned. ln their preliminary practice games, Coach Friedli's boys dropped two de- cisions to Belleville and McBride respec- tively. But even though both tilts resulted in reverses, they added experience and conditioning to the boys. Both of these opponents later finished the season in a tie for the championship of their respec- tive leagues. Finally, on December I3, l930, Cen- tral met Soldan in her first league encoun- ter. The West Enders gave our boys a neat shellacking and walked off with a 32-l2 victory. The team suffered from a had case of stage fright and it was evi- dent that the boys had not yet attained their best form and were not ready to click. The boys enjoyed no better luck in their next two league engagements, losing to Roosevelt 25-l 3, and taking an awful trimming from Cleveland by the top-heavy score of 40-Zl. But,-and here's where the boys finally did an about-face and crashed through with their first triumph of the season, and what a triumph! On January l7, I93I, the final game of the first round, the battle between Cen- tral and Beaumont, the co-leader of the high-school league was waged. The first quarter of that memorable game was tame enough, although closely played. But from the time the second period com- menced until the claxon announced the finish, pandemonium reigned in the St. Louis U. Gymnasium. Anyone who sat back in his seat and cooly enjoyed that game was stolidg but the real kick of the game was the fact that our boys finally won out by a score of l6-l4. During the bye between the first and second round, the boys engaged Principia Junior College and McBride in non-league games, dropping both. But those days held tense moments for the boys on the first team, and the lads who reported after clearing their scholastic record. The boys who comprised the first team for the first half of the league games were as follows: Junior Sneed Don Short Herbert Morros Robert Potashniclc Albert Rose Morris Garden Nathan Berman Julius jouret Clarence johnson Four of these lads were replaced by William Mitchell, Cliff Baggy Marik, Alex Schnurmand and Cli Gershman.

But sandwiched in between these two games was the non-league victory over St. Louis U. High. The Red and Black cagers nipped the co-champions of the prep league by a 22-20 score. It was a thrilling battle and a still greater vic- tory. Returning to league competition, Central trouncecl Cleveland by the con- vincing score of 30-19. But..i.nftheir final league contest of the season, with Beau- mont, the boys were just nippecl by the North Siders I5-I2. Central finished the season in a tie for the cellar with Cleve- land, and Soldan won the championship for the third consecutive season by de- feating Beaumont in a playoff for the title. lmmediately following the close of the league season, our boys prepared for the tournament. The Red and Black five trimmed St. Charles in its first tourna- ment assignment. St. Charles was the champion of the county league with seventeen consecutive victories, and was heavily favored to defeat Central. But our boys had a knack of trimming cham- pions and St. Charles was no exception. But Central's tournament start was over- shadowed by a 26-8 defeat at the hands of Maplewood. Thus passed another basketball season which is now only history in the rec- ord books of Central's sports.

You're quite concealed by your padded shield And your mask, which marks you plainly As the man on guard where the going's hard, Where mistakes are most expensive, Where the game is rough and the plays are tough And your work is all defensive. You're supposed to call for the kind of ball That will fool the waiting batter, And if that won't do, then it's up to you To delude him with your chatter. You're supposed to guide where the ball will ride, Where the chances are he'll swat it, And then dust your legs to recover pegs If the baseman has not caught it. Your job, l'd say, is hardly play, And so I'll hand it to you, That, while unsung by the fannish tongue, You have lots of praises due you. You get no praise like the man who plays Where the fans can ape his poses, But l now declare you're the best man there And your life's no bed of roses. 5 DAS EDZXLL gf? 5 g 9 Q ef?

'31 HEN Mr. Neumann, our coach, called for tennis candidates this fall, about fifteen boys made their appearance. Among these were three players from last year's team. This wealth of material was encouraging, the only drawback being that not one of the boys was a very accomplished player. All of the candidates were given a chance to show their ability in an elimination tourna- ment which decided who would play on the team. Those selected to represent Central were as follows: Zarembl-ta, Prosser, Tietjen, in singles, and Marcos, Feldman, Schulte, and Garden, in doubles. The boys spent the remaining days before the first match practicing under the watchful eye of their discrimi- nating mentor, Mr. Neumann. margin. However, the team had the satisfaction of defeating Cleveland in two matches and winning another by default against Beaumont. The doubles team turned in the only victory for Central. The Soldan team experienced little difficulty in winning the championship for the second year in succession, with Roose- velt being the runner-up. Hyman Adler of the Soldan team became the individual champion by winning all of his matches. The tournament was played at the Jef- ferson Memorial courts in Forest Park and a fair-sized gallery witnessed the matches. Three boys from this year's team will return next year, and provided that prac- tice is hard over the summer, the chances for an improved team will be good. The final standings were as follows: Central was unfortunate in meeting the Team Won Lost strong Soldan team on the first day.

Yes, you've guessed it, Ida Bischoff is the cap- tain of the championship team. A sepa- rate tournament of approximately twelve games was held in each gym class. The winning teams, representing their respec- tive classes, played in the semi-finals of the second tournament, according to their listings. Adele Fedderson led her team of eights to the finals, after eliminating the team of Margaret Plunkert, also a leader of the seniors. The sophomore aggressors, under the leadership of Dor- othy Haller, rallied ot the very last lap, while in the freshie's division Margaret Buhrman, backed by her needy nine, reached home before her sister team of new juniors. Baseball is the sport of the year, as it is played in the spring, fall, and even on the milder winter days by the Central G. A. A.'s.

The ball is passed to the wing and Vivian Noel, a seven, dribbles down the field. Lillian Fink, the eights' goalie, stops it and socks the ball to Adele Fedderson who passes to Marion Gall. The strong backfield of the sevens consisting of Mary Carter, Ruth Chorn, and Marino Lo Buono shows some excellent team work in protecting their goal from those desperate seniors, Evelyn Grady, Cath- erine Rawie, and Louise Nax. The Marionites score!! The ball back at center line is bullied-the sevens have it! Plowing through the mud, the new seniors' center forward hit a hard one from out a puddle of water-the score is tie, and TIME is called!! Marion lead her aggregation to victory in the fierce scrimmage of the extra ses- sion by a score 2-l. Each player as an individual on the team of sevens showed how a losing game can be made a victory in spirit. The clashing hockey aces, Letha Hughes, and Jeanne Bagnall, were the captains of the teams of the Hves and sixes respectively. Last fall found spirited rivalry between these hockey class squads coached by Miss Sullivan. Although this game has only recently been introduced into most high schools, our girls have played since I9 I 8, forming teams each year. CAPTAIN BALL The ball is tossed up high! And, how Ruby Talbott gets it is beyond me. An attempt double score is tried by the cham- pions in a pass to Emma Kennedy and Mary Starke. But Ruth Overbeck of Hazel Loague's team intercepts and makes a return to Dorothy Meyers--she fum- bles, and little Kathryn Michel, a guard on the winning team, makes a quick come- back with a pass through Doris Rolf to center for a score.

AWARDS HE awarding of the girls' athletic honors is one of the biggest things in our high-school undertakings.

A XSI-lERLOCK'S SOLUTION H ND now, Watson, let's hear what you have to say about the case, said Sherlock Holmes, as he settled himself comfortably in his chair, his feet occupying the only cleared space on the desk, The six sleuths, who were making two chairs do, looked at me expectantly. Well, l remarked, ul would place the hour of the murder at about midnight on January 8. Someone with a grudge against Madame Glum remained in school all night and they met on the second floor, where Madame Glum was stabbed -probably with one of the lunchroom knives. All very interesting, but elementary, interrupted Holmes with a smile. You couldn't cut melted butter with one of those lunchroom knives and besides, what student could possibly dislike anyone to the extent of staying after school to pay off a grudge? You don't know how we sometimes feel, said one of the sleuths, darkly, especially after an unexpected exam. 'The reader will no doubt recall the excite- ment created by the death of Madame Clum in the halls of Central High School last january. ln spite of the fact that Philo Vance recently achieved such success in the Green Murder Or when we get our five weeks' re- port card, muttered another. No, the fact is that she wasn't stabbed at all but that she died in an entirely dif- ferent way, declared Sherlock. My in- vestigations reveal that the event took place at the beginning of the first lunch period when the second Hoor corridor is extremely crowded. Because everyone was happy at the thought of eating, there was a good deal of laughing and joking. ln fact one of the remarks was so funny that she laughed in spite of herself. That was what killed her. Then- Yes, but what happened to her then? excitedly inquired one of the sleuths. Oh, the custodian swept the remains up in the vacuum cleaner, answered Sherlock solemnly. And now we'd like to know who caused her to laugh, I asked. You'll have to answer that question yourself, when you go through all the clues l've collected, answered Sherlock with a smile. Case, we selected Sherlock Holmes to solve our mystery because of his outstanding record fThe Red-Headed League etc.J. Moreover, we much prefer Sherlock's methods.

Loyalty learned in work or in play is a blessed heritage of bygone days. It is a bulwark thrown against life's tempta- tions.

She came like a great black cloud: Ha, caught again! You popped your gum And popped it very loud. And then she caught me by the ear And marched me down the hall And right to Mr. Weir, oh, dear!

'32 HO has not noticed the way Central pupils come to school in the morning on Palm Street? The girls and boys get off the street cars, and conscientiously go, each to his own side of the street. The left side is the boys' side, and the right side is the girls' side, Once in a while a boy will try to get up courage enough to walk dn the girls' side. l-le'll get off the car and boldly walk on the right side. About ten feet from the corner, he'll slow down some- what and waver, and finally give it up as a job beyond him. A group of boys might do it. Sometimes a group of three or four boys will walk all the way to Gar- rison on the girls' side! Then they cross the street with a grin spreading from ear to ear, as if to say, Hal l've got more spunk than you have. When a boy comes to school with a girl, the two never walk on the boys' side. Why, l wonder? Maybe, it's just courtesy. When they walk on the girls' side, the boy talks to the girl as if nothing else matters, being careful, however, not to look across the street at the boys. Why don't the girls walk to school on the boys' side, and return the compli- ment? Either they don't think enough of the boys, or they're afraid-or-some thing. l bet they don't know, themselves, why they don't. Who understands the mind of a woman? l could never figure out why the boys and girls will walk home on the same side of the street and not walk to School on the same side. lt's over my head. One Hundred and Ninety-one 'FFACULTY F OOLISHNESS Mr. Marshall: The teacher of a Sunday School Class told her small charges to memorize a se- lection from the Bible so that they might recite it when they put in their offering. The next Sunday Johnny said as he put in his offering: The Lord loveth a cheerful giver. That's very nice, indeed, said the teacher. jimmy's contribution was: lt is bet- ter to give than to receive. At last it was little Ralph'sr turn: A fool and his money are soon parted, said he, reluctantly dropping his nickle. Miss Becker: A pretty young girl was standing in the aisle of a crowded Olive street-car. Sucl- denly the car swerved, causing the young girl to sit neatly in the lap of a very nice looking young man. Much to her em- barrassment, instead of saying I beg your pardon, she said Oh, how are you? Mr. Could: A man walked into a restaurant and ordered a soft-boiled egg. A few min- utes after he received his order, he beckoned to the waiter. This egg is no good. Was it cooked too long? No, l'm afraid it was cooked too late. fAnd Mr. Gould claims that the trouble with some students is that they don't worry too much-they worry too late., 'Sherlock fears that some of the teachers had a part in the killing of Madame Clum. fEd. Note-We apologize for him., One Hundred and Ninety-two Mr. Weir: Mr. Weir told his story at the east foot- ball banquet, reminding the boys at the beginning that the time element between the end of the story and the laugh fol- lowing was a measure of the intelligence of the listener. l-le said: A tramp called at the back door of a farmhouse one afternoon and asked for something to eat. The farmer's wife told him that if he split a pile of wood for her she would get him something. He told her he was so hungry that he would gladly split it, for he knew an easy way of doing it. All he had to do to get the wood to split itself was to sit down be- side the pile and tell it funny jokes. So after helping himself to a good meal, he sat down and told one joke after another. As soon as he began, the wood started popping. The funnier the jokes he told, the more violently the wood split. Final- ly, just as darkness came upon him, he went to the house announcing that all the wood was split excepting just two logs which withstood every joke in his reper- tory. Then he proceeded on his way. Along after midnight, the farmer's fam- ily was awakened by two violent explo- sions in rapid succession. Investigation revealed that the unusual disturbance was due to the belated splitting of the two re- maining logs. Upon further investigation, these logs, strangely enough, were English Walnut. fRead this again. Some of the boys haven't laughed yet., Look out 'A if , for 1 my . . - . - O glass!
