S. : URING the past year we have tried to keep a faithful record of our goings and comings, and to compile them in a year book that will both please and entertain you. As you turn the leaves of this book please remember that while we were observing meatless, wheatless, lightless and heatless days that we were also racking our brains to find a way to make our Annual a little more “pageless.” After much consideration, and many forebodings, we have sent this little book on to you. We sin- cerely hope that to our friends it may prove most interesting and to the students of C. H. S. it may ever recall pleasant recollections of their High School days.

S. feeling just as important as a class ever did, but then we had a right to, for look who we were! Many new ones joined our ranks among them Mary Shank, who has proven herself a pearl of great value to all who know her. Feroll Moore, too, came to our class as a Freshman. Her recita- tions, which were wonders, have caused us all to sit up and take notice. After a year of fun mixed in with a little hard study, the time for exams, came. Of course we all dreaded them, for we had heard dreadful tales of C. H. S. exams, but we soon found that they were not so very hard after all. As Sophomores we came back with a sense of superiority but with a little dread, too, for it is al- ways quoted that the second year is the hardest of them all. One valuable acquisition gained was Mil- dred Wyatt. We set out with a good will, and strong determination to conquer all hardships. We soon found that our activities need not all be con- fined to studies, for at the first part of the year our Literary Society was organized. After the first attack of “Stage Fright,” everyone took a great interest in the programs, which were given every two weeks. All too soon it was time for exams, again. How proud we were to file in as Juniors! We came back with a much smaller class, but anyway, an “even dozen.” Even though we were sorry to lose so many of our class, we were glad to take in three new students: Treutlen Bailey, Robert Boyd and George Johnson. We were quick to find that there was even more in store for us than we had expected, for of all things, we were recognized by the Seniors and were taken more and more into their confidence. Many jolly times were had with them. Toward the end of our school year there was a dark cloud over all the High School for we learned that Mr. Smith, our High School principal, would not be with us another year. The Senior Class witnessed several changes in the Faculty. There were new faces instead of old to greet us. We were sorry to find that our kind friends of the previous year were with us no longer, but our best wishes have gone with them. Still there was a mighty resolve in the heart of each Senior that his class should stand like a beacon light for all coming generations. Having 3C X 1C XK xk escaped the tortures of our Junior year we longed with infinite longing to lend a helping hand to those poor youths and maidens who were about to enter on their course of probation. But as strang- ers we were powerless, so one pleasant evening, duly labeled, we entered the portals of the school, there to meet and mingle with our fellow students to be, for the coming year. That night the ties of friendship were closely bound. For further in- formation see a certain Senior boy who drives an “Oakland.” Soon the Juniors, grateful for what had been done for them, to show their appreciation did bid us all to meet with them on a certain night, at a certain hour, at a “Country Fair.” Many a heart XK :ic SIC XK XI that night was happy which had toiled for weary weeks. Others so full of glee exclaimed: “Back, turnbackward, O time in thy flight, Turn back the tick tock just for to- night.” We wish to compliment “certain people” for the active internal postal service carried on this year. Many a mystery has been solved this way. Now we prepare to leave our Alma Mater with its joys and sorrows, its pleasures and disappoint- ments. May the ideals which have formed in the period through which we have passed, determine our future as men and women. VERNA WHITTINGTON, ’18. Last Will and Testament of the Class of ’18 E, THE class of 18 of the Clearwater High School, Pinellas County, Clearwater, Fla., knowing that we are soon to depart from school life we make and publish this, our last earthly will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by us at any other time. We, the aforesaid class, do hereby will and be- queath to the present Juniors all rights, honors and privileges that distinguish Seniors from lesser mortals, the dignity of the class as a whole and we hope their deportment will stay up to the standard we have set. I, Victor Logan, do hereby will and bequeath to Everad Mann my Goat; said Goat to be used for the purpose of pulling Everad’s Flivver out of the ditch. I, Mary Shank, do will and bequeath my “Little Lamb” to Mary Plumb; the reason for choosing Mary is because “The Lamb” is used to the name. I, George Johnson, do bequeath to D. T. Mc- Mullen something very trying to teachers, but wel- comed by all classmat es; namely, my remarkable propensity for laughter during recitation. Also 1 bequeath attentions to a certain Sophomore girl to Robert Jones. 1, Ernest Tyler, bequeath to Jessie Brown my very desirable talent for making unexpectedly bril- liant recitations. I, Mildred Wyatt do hereby bequeath to Velma Boyd my position of the most dignified girl in the Senior Class. I, Waller Smith, bequeath my physics note book to the School, the drawings to be used as models for the classes for all times. I, Verna Whittington, do bequeath my cheer- fulness and sweet disposition to Marie Smith. I, Feroll Moore, do bequeath Velma’s love and affection also roses and cookies to Morgan Van- Valkenburg, hoping he will appreciate the gift. I, Gavin Douglas, do will and bequeath my position as the most dignified boy in the Senior Class to Thomas Clark. We, Feroll Moore and Mildred Wyatt, do will and bequeath our twin dresses to Margaret Jacobs and Elizabeth Hoyt. I, Robert Boyd, do bequeath my red hair to IK XKZZZ ZXK TZ H t C- XK AK. Elizabeth Bivins. I think the shades will blend beautifully. I, Treutlen Bailey, do bequeath to Vernel Mc- Neil my sense of humor which I have cultivated at the advice of Miss Gale. B K . . .

The Prophecy of the Class of 18 X T WAS in the year 1925 and I was returning from a banquet with a young man who had a fondness for good champagne and speeding. He assured me that for once in his life he had satisfied his love for the first and he intended to satisfy his love for the second immediately. With this he pulled open the throttle and we shot down the long ribbon road that lay white in the light of early morning. Faster, faster, faster — and then — why on earth was that stone wall built so close to the road and on a curve too? Just listen to the roaring and the rumbling and the pounding! But how did 1 happen to get in an iron foundry? This question went unanswered for whom should I see coming in my direction but Ernest Tyler. With a swoop of his high silk hat he made an elaborate bow and kindly said he would take me through his foundry. 1 was on the point of telling Ernest that he had a rather unique establishment when I was inter- rupted by soft music and I found myself in the darkness of a great theatre. The crowd was sitting forward, breathless, literally hanging on every note sung by the great prima donna. As the last notes died away the entire audience rose in a body and shouted its approval. I think I shouted louder than anyone, for 1 had recognized in the great prima donna my old school friend, Treutlen Bailey. Everything was quiet in less than five seconds and I thought this was unusual but as I looked closer I found that I was in a different theatre and at a play instead of grand opera. The name of the great dramatic star was Feroll Moore. When the curtain rose I was both pleased and disappointed. Pleased because I knew the great dramatic star and disappointed that the owner of the flowery name was only the Feroll Moore known to many as “One of the Gold Dust Twins.” How strange! 1 was roaming the one street of a small Western town where all was excitement and hurry. Stopping one of the more leisurely pedestrians I asked if the Indians were making a raid. “No, the President of the great N. S. E. W. R. R. is coming and we want him to put a spur into our town.” ‘‘Who is the President?” I asked. ‘‘The Right Honorable George Johnson, of course!” 1 thought of going to the celebration but to my unspeakable horror I found that I was still in my banquet gown. I looked around to find some place to get suitable attire, but 1 always got my gowns in Paris, so what was 1 to do? Instead of an an- swer to my question I heard the swish, swish of water against the sides of a boat and I was on a great liner entering the port of Liverpool. The captain, how he thundered out his orders and how he managed his ship! But who is the captain? None other than Julian Zimmerman. Then came Paris and the question, ‘‘Where did my agent get my clothes?” As I was strolling down one of the boulevards my eyes fell upon some dainty feminine creations. Slipping into the shop, that, certainly was the most E’lite in Paris, and whom do you suppose I saw? Verna Whittington, as was perfectly natural for she always had a knack of showing clothes ad- vantagiously. Back I went to England where I stopped among well kept grounds and extensive buildings that be- yond a doubt was a school for girls. Passing sev- eral groups of students I heard many remarks of satisfaction and happiness. As I neared the main entrance I was about to reach the conclusion that here was a model school. Upon entering the hall 1 saw printed on one of the office doors the words, ‘‘Miss Mary Shank, President.” I knew then that the school was a model. On into Scotland I went, where I suddenly came upon the grounds of an old castle. Far away across the prfectly kept lawn I saw a couple strol- ling leisurely along. They did not interest me until 1 saw the gentleman quite naturally remove his monacle and it was Waller Smith. Oh, Waller, you have improved greatly in the ease with which you manage your monacle since the days you used to practice so laborously with a piece of twisted wire in study hall! I had wandered far and was standing, admiring the beautiful scenery when some one near me called out, ‘‘Won’t you please move to one side a little? I can’t get a straight line with you standing there.” I moved, and there was Gavin Douglas. He was surveying the old Douglas estate, and he re- told the bit of familiar Scotch history that had taken place on this very spot. What a contrast were those dirty little Chinese streets with the bracing air of Scottish Highlands! XIC XK X pile DitC 3IIC IX K= As I was wondering who I could possibly know in China I found a rather extensive mission house, where no great wonder, Victor Logan was having his hands full, doing the great many things that are required of a missionary. Then again came the rocking, rocking of a boat and as 1 opened my eyes in a New York hospital I heard the eminent physician, Robert Boyd say cooly as he turned away, “Oh she’ll pull through alright. Outside of a few broken bones, a smashed head and a general shake up she is O. K. She can stand that easy with the iron constitution she ac- quired while working on the annual staff at C H - S ” MILDRED WYATT, T8.

So, on Novem- ber 23rd the whole Junior class, attended by the Faculty, arrived at seven thirty, the specified time. Oh, the costumes! There are not enough words to describe them. Mildred, as Miss Cynthia Perkins, received the guests. We then passed around light refreshments of all-day suckers, chewing-gum, peanuts and ice-water punch. The crowd divided into three groups and played “Up Jinks” and the school shook with the laughter of the participants. Then we all lined up for “Cross Questions and Silly Answers.” Miss Rich and Mildred did not join in the fun but judging from the sounds of uncontrol- lable laughter which came from their corners, they enjoyed it as much as the players. Candy was passed around and the boys and girls matched pieces to find partners for supper. This time we served sandwiches and orange juice, the Domestic Science room furnishing the granite dishes for the beverage. After supper prizes were awarded to the tack- Junior Party iest boy and the tackiest girl. Mr. Lunder and Ida Seals were the lucky ones. The prizes were bottles of exquisite (?) Cologne. Then we played “Snake.” This game, I be- lieve, gave the Juniors the idea that we Seniors were not as dignified as we made out we were, for they treated us from then on as equals, not as superiors. The evening was finished with a game of “Wink’ um.” We had in order to let the Juniors know how to act without having to undergo the embarrassment of being openly reproved, put up signs all over the room upon which were written pretty plain hints. Upon one was, “No Winking Allowed.” Now this sign made it very uncomfort- able for us; here we had proposed a game that would force our guests either to disregard our signs or to stay out of the game. One of our fellow students hit upon a wise plan. He removed the sign, unseen by the Juniors, and unhindered by this hint, they enjoyed the game immensely. It did the students good to see Mr. Breeden wink at the girls. Mr. Breeden being the last person one would ex- jj™ a t— UK AK= HC=DttC: pect to see doing such a coquettish thing. Mr. Reece also gave us a shock by showing us how skillfully he could close one eye. We weren t sur- prised at Mr. Lunder, for we had known him for two months. Miss Rich and Miss Worcester, in- stead of demurely casting down their eyes upon being winked at jumped up in response proving ZX K = MICZZ3IICQ how little we knew them. We had a jolly time, which was overshadowed by the absence of two Seniors, Feroll and Robert, and one teacher, Miss Gale. Would that they could have seen how natural (?) the Juniors and Faculty had looked. As I said before, words cannot describe it.

At eight o’clock sharp the doors of the en- chanting room were thrown open and there on the threshold stood a crowd of children. From their appearance one would have said that they were not older than twelve. Noisy and excited as chil- dren always are, they were, however, accompanied by guardians so were allowed to enter. In filed the Seniors, the “dignified’’ occupants of the row of seats next the windows. These twelve-year-olds were the students all the Freshies and Sophs and Juniors looked upon with enveying eyes. They were accompanied by the Faculty, as stern and authoritative as ever. At the door, behind a pretty booth stood Lucile and Lula May calling out their wares, which hap- pened to be popcorn and peanuts. After each child had been hushed with a bag of peanuts and one of popcorn the crowd moved on to the “Pictures- While-Y ou-Wait Booth.’’ Here Virginia officiated XI XK XK XK Senior Party 3 x and the children and their guardians were snapped separately, in groups and in two’s. Next the sign, “Nasciana Sanistanquidio Medium,’’ caught the eyes of the young people and one by one they en- tered the mysterious recesses of Senorita’s estab- lishment. No doubt they were disappointed to find Ardys telling fortunes but they were too anxious to hear about their love affairs to mind. The Swimming Match and the wonderful “What-Is-It“ next attracted them, and upon pulling back the curtain covering the latter attraction, each L person saw himself as others saw him. Fruit sold by Velma then refreshed the children and they moved on to Everads Whoop-a-la-la. The ? roars from the wild animals next called them and they finished the rounds in marveling at the fero- cious beasts. Mary Shank was unanimously voted Queen, and a priceless diamond awarded her. The queen first called for her entertainer and Everad again convulsed the crowd with his antics. Then the queen ordered a spelling match for her amusement and the children proved themselves xk5 XK XK XK quite learned on the subject. There were few words misspelled save that Mildred insisted on spelling “slim” F-e-r-o-1-1 and Feroll Moore refused to spell “hen” any other way than V-e-l-m-a, but then ap- parently they had been misinformed by the persons next to them. JiK To finish off the circus in fine style ice cream cones were brought out and the children enjoyed them very much as children will do. Thus we, the Juniors, under the expert manage- ment of Miss Rich, strove to express our thanks.

The melee was held at the North Side School on Fort Harrison Avenue, where the invited guests began to arrive about the hour of seven-thirty. They were welcomed by Frank Wil- liamson and Frederick Hubbard, who acted as hosts for the distinguished Sophomores. The guests en- tered the hall of the school, which was very attrac- tively decorated in Japanese lanterns and other similar effects. When the crowd had gathered, games were started. A game of “Skip-to-Ma-Lou” was en- joyed, which was immediately followed by a game of “Drop the Handkerchief.’’ The “Freshies” were enjoying themselves immensely when Frank Wil- liamson received the handkerchief and slipped and fell, breaking up the ir game. The annual meeting of the “Truth Society’’ was then called and new members were added to the extensive list of this ancient organization. Miss Plumb objected strenuously to Norman Allen’s “slang,” Thereby, Norman had to solemnly swear Cbiic DiKZ IXIC XK XK HI -h k Freshman Party to give up his “slang’’ before he became a member of this “society.’’ After the Society had added all new members to its list, ice cream and cake was served by several of the Sophomores. The evening passed all too quickly. As ten- thirty was a late hour for the Freshman, the guests thanked their hosts and bid good night to their friends. SOPHOMORE ISLAND PARTY Two o’clock Saturday, March 1 6th, saw about steen members of the Sophomore Class gathered about the pavilion of the North City Park. When all of the stragglers arrived, the crowd set out. After strenuous work, the party arrived at the Is- land. Some of the younger boys and girls ran out on to the beach, but the older and wiser of the party remained in the pavilion to cool off. After a short rest, the boys and girls appeared one by one in their bathing suits. The party was chaperoned by Misses Gale and Moore and Pro- fessor Herbert Lunder. The latter headed the V K — . X K=X bathers as they came forth. He was clad in a stunning gray suit with a large white “M” upon the breast of it. Ah me! At the conclusion of the lengthy surf bath, a lunch was spread on the beach. It was quickly devoured, and about this time, to the surprise of all, Jeanette Frost appeared in her “Baby Grand.” We K XK XIC 3 leave it to you to guess what happened next. The dance was fully enjoyed by all and a short while after sun down, the party left for home. Who said good time? That day shall always be remembered by the Sophomore Class.

Numerous games were enjoyed and the guests were somewhat amused to find that everything was done backwards — except the eating. Among other things someone “prayed for the lights to go out” evidently, and had their prayers answered. The lights were soon restored however, and no one was suffering from the ef- fects so badly as to prevent him from enjoying the refreshments, which consisted of ice cream and cherries. After a while the party broke up, the Sophomores condescending to be so gracious as to remark that “It was pretty good, considering who did it.” FRESHMAN MARSHMALLOW ROAST Friday, November 3rd, 1917, was fixed upon by the Freshman Class as a good time for a marsh- mallow roast. Accordingly, a number of boxes of marshmallows were bought and an appropriate place was decided upon. The place decided upon was the vacant plot of ground adjoining the Verona Inn. Promptly on time the class arrived in all its glory. A fire was built and left to burn into coals suitable for roasting the marshmallows, while games were being enjoyed. To amuse the Fresh- man the Faculty joined in these and also par- ticipated in eating marshmallows. After the games of course the marshmallows. Everyone had a jolly time roasting and eating them. Some of the unex- perienced succeeded in roasting their faces also. At a rather late hour farewell songs were sung and all returned to their homes. ARTHUR TYLER, ’21. Tilings We Must Have Dreamed of R. REECE (Monday morning) — “I have nothing to say to you this morning.” The Freshman did not have a party last Friday. Tom Clark without some flowers. Howard Moore has stopped saying, ‘‘No, do you?” Frederick Hubbard not chewing a rose. Velma Boyd without a bag of oranges. George Johnson not writing notes. Ernest didn’t have a discussion with a teacher today. Julian Zimmerman going to school for a whole week at a time. Miss Rich forgetting to give a Latin assignment. George laughing — softly. Victor didn’t use the word Wretched nor Miss Rich the words ‘‘Straight up and down.” Miss Gale — “I have absolutely no objection to your eating in English Class. Cecil Hathaway without a girl. Everad Mann with his hair combed. Arthur Tyler didn’t try to be funny. Ellen Austin has just returned from the cobler with rubber heels. The Glee Club HIS year’s Glee Club has been a great success because of the interest and work which the members and director have put into it. At the first of the year it was thought that there would be no credit given to Glee Club because of the fact that the pupils would be unable to get in the required amount of work, but it was later decided that those who attended regularly and fulfilled cer- tain requirements should have five points added to their general average at the end of the year. Although many of last year’s Glee Club were gone there were new pupils to take their places, and this year’s Club is almost a third larger than any previous one. A special music room had been equipped for the use of the Glee Club and Orchestra and this had been a great advantage as it allowed the study hall to be free to those students who wished to use it. This room was paid for in part by the Glee Club itself when the members gave a concert after practicing for about a month. This concert was a success financially, and also showed the people of Clearwater the benefit of having music in the schools, and what could be done if proper advant- ages were provided. The Club has also sung at a number of meet- ings of the Literary Society and has been highly complimented by visitors who attended these meetings. The Glee Club sang at the commencement ex- ercises and the numbers rendered by them were among th most enjoyable features of the evening. The numbers given by the Club at that concert were : Chorus — “The Mermaid .... Old English Glee Club Voice — “Suwannee River’’ Foster Frederic Hubbard Chorus — “Bright Starry Banner” . . Offenback Glee Club Chorus — “Sailing Marks Glee Club Chorus — “Old Black Joe Foster Glee Club Voice Trio — “Three Little Maids From School” From the Mikado Misses Moore, Bivins, Cordier Chorus — “Star Spangled Banner” . . Arnold Glee Club X T WAS discovered at the beginning of the year that there was much good material avail- able with which to organize a High School Orches- tra and this material egan practicing three times a week under the leadership of Mr. Lunder and was soon in shape to play in public. The first appearance of the Orchestra was at Literary Society, where they played three weeks after their first practice. Although most of the members had had previ- ous experience there were several of them who were just learning their instruments, and these deserve special credit for the way in which they have progressed, so that they now play their parts as well as the more experienced memb ers. The first music played by the Orchestra was simple and easy to play, but from this music they have gradually worked up until now, at the end of the school year, they are playing various selections from the various operas and other music which is XK — HK= XK XK X K “ XX : ,-� KZ J =XK=ZH1 estra played by much older and experienced orchestras. The Orchestra played at the musical which was given by the High School Glee Club, and received many compliments on its selections. Many people were greatly surprised that so small a school could put out an organization of such unusual ability. It has also played at almost every meeting of the Literary Society and has added much to the enjoy- ment of the students and visitors. The Orchestra has been set back decidedly by the lack of suitable music and for this reason they have been obliged to refuse playing at a number of occasions. Next year, however, they expect to procure enough music so that they may respond to all invitations. Their playing at the commencement exercises was highly enjoyed by all and added a destinctive touch to the program. Next year although several of this year’s or- ganization will be gone. Still it is hoped that a larger and better Orchestra may be produced. XK xk: xkzzzhk£ K K XIC fc- — M K XK 1 .. XKZ MK .

First it teaches an individual student responsibility in governing a mass and the students themselves have almost complete controll over the making and inforcing of the rules and regulations. Second, it gives a chance of putting knowledge to a practical test. These two reasons have been proven within the last four years, for each year the student body as a whole have had more responsi- bility. Another improvement is the way in which the students have volunteered to serve this year on the programs, for as years of practice have passed, it does not seem such a hard matter to get on the stage before a large audience. The current event number, which many have asked to give, always has a number of inspiring claimants. A new fea- ture in our Literary Society this year is the Orchestra. We certainly could not have had such successful programs if it had been for our fid- dlers” and “hornets. Still another improvement in the Literary program is that those that take part acquire their positions on the stage before the pro- gram begins. This saves the time that might have been used coming and going from the stage and still more important than this even, is that, it gives the stage a very “dignified” appearance. We have this year in High School extraordinary talent in the line of Declamatory, and it has been cultured and refined in the Literary Society. The visitors of the Literary Society have shown more interest this year than ever before, which is indeed a help to one who is apt to have “stage fright,” as he becomes more acquainted with a large audience. The programs consist of recitations, original papers, debates, vocal and instrumental music, given by the students at the programs which are held every two weeks. The Literary Society so far has improved each year and by the effort on the part of the students in the future, both the education and the pleasure of the association may be brought to a higher standard.

They were observers going up to take charge of an “elephant” observa- tion dug-out, which was in the second trench, and being on the brow of the hill had a very good view of the surrounding country. The German lines were across the valley and thus there had been no activity around there. But this was but the lull before the storm. This little body of troops were under the com- mand of Lieutenant William Jones, or Lieutenant Billy, as he was better known. All the squad of eleven men were young, keen-eyed soldiers, like their commander, and thus were picked for observa- tion duty. They arrived at their posts and settled down. There were three machine guns and their crews in the dug-out, so they had quite a pleasant time. Lieutenant Billy took in his surroundings that morning, and was quite pleased. He had a direct telephone line to battery B, a battery of six 6.5 inch guns, and also a line to Headquarters. All remained quiet for several days. Then one night Lieutenant Billy was told by Headquarters to bombard a certain line, and to begin at 3:03 A. M. It was then about 2 : 30 A. M. He would be told when to stop. Instantly all was excitement in the dug-out. A bombardment was pretty sure to be followed by an attack, and everything was in readiness. Two of the machine guns and crews were ordered to the fire trench. They were to go “Over the Top” and support the infantry in the counter attack. Lieutenant Billy got in connection with Battery B, and informed the commanding officer of his orders. Then they had a little social chat till three, when everything was gotten ready for grim business. At 3:03 A. M. Lieutenant Billy gave the order to fire. Instantly the air was rent by the crash of 3 DUC DiKZ DIIC =HiC DiKZ DHC 3UC HK= — XtcD the artillery. The battle had begun. Three minutes a distant roar told them that heavy artillery had also begun in action. By 3:10 every battery along the line had taken up the fire and the roar, shriek and bursting of shells was incessant. Star shells were bursting all the time, and Lieutenant Billy kept moving the fire of Battery B up and down his sec- tion of the line. This was kept up all the next day. At 1 0 A. M. Billy received orders to stop his battery until 1 2, and then to throw the shells over the trenches into the communication trenches. Accordingly at 1 0 he gave the order to cease firing. Battery B ceased and the noise became a little duller, as Battery B was right near them. Every- one except Lieutenant Billy retired for a nap. (An elephant dug-out has rooms far under ground that have cots in them.) But Billy was worried. At one time during the day the men in the fire trench in front of him had made like they were going “over the top,” by putting up ladders and dummies. In- stantly a battery of 6.5 inches had opened up. This battery was not on the map, and Billy knew that a hidden battery like his could do terrible slaughter to men crossing “No Mans Land.” He immediately got in communication with the battery. Gun three was near the east, and this he told the captain to leave with special orders. When Battery B began firing again, gun three ■� « ' kq ■ began feeling around behind that hill. Billy was hunting for the range of that battery. The rest of the battery he left to his second officer. Then sud- denly he saw a black cloud shoot up, and although he did not hear the explosion, he knew that he had j� struck one of the ammunition piles, the range was either a few meters to the right or the left. Just then a 1 4-inch shell whizzed overhead and exploded about fifty yards back of them. But Billy paid no attention to it. Grabbing the phone he bellowed a down it, “1728 over 5m. to right.” Pause, no an- swer; he repeated the order but the customary “Got cher” didn’t arrive. Instantly he leaped to t the back parapet and looked. There a big gaping hole showed that the shell had broken the wire. Without hesitating he leaped over the , parapet back towards the hole. A bullet whistled by his ear, another struck him in the shoulder. He spun around, fell and crawled to his feet again. He , always had about ten yards of wire with him, and he must connect the phone. The men were already starting over the top. Reaching the gap he connected one end to his wire. A shell bursted near him and everything went black, but he came to in a few minutes. As i he crawled around the hole he saw that three waves had gone over. Two had never got there. The hidden battery was doing its work well. Then he had the wire connected, but before he got back to the dug-out two more bullets struck him lightly. One arm was limp but he crawled with the other. “ The range, the range,” he gasped as he fell into the dug-out into the second officer’s arms. “What range?” demanded the officer. “The hidden battery. Quick, or the day is lost.” Then faintly, “1728 over, 5, 10 and I 5m to the right.” Then he lay still. But the day was not over, for battery B put the hidden batery out of business. Lieutenant Billy was critically wounded, but he had saved the day. JAMES BRUMBY, ’21. Pietje, a Dog of Handers’ (SECOND PLACE) H LAXEN haired, blue eyed Katrina sat on the door step, with her dog, Pietje, in a small town of Holland. There were tears in her big, dreamy eyes, and Pietje was sad also, though he was too brave to cry. Pietje had to be sold, that was settled. Father Jan had died a year ago, and as there were many mouths to be fed, mother’s burden had been too heavy. “Katrina, Katrina,” called mother from the kitchen. “Yes, yes, I’m coming, answered the child, dragging her beloved pet with her, fearing lest they be uselessly separated. There were also tears in the eyes of Katrina’s mother, for she too was sad. “Come, come, the larder is empty and the vege- tables are dried up. We must eat, child.’’ With a great many tears and caresses Pietje and Katrina left the familiar homestead and loved ones. Of course Katrina would return, but she would not be the same girl without her constant, and ever af- fectionate companion. When they had been walking for several hours Katrina noticed Pietje’s tongue hanging out of his mouth for thirst. There was no water to be had, save that in the canal, and, walking hastily to it, she took off one of her little wooden shoes, so that her dog could get a drink. Pietje’s wistful eyes showed much gratitude when he saw his young mistress lean over the shell bank of the canal, but in his heart he feared less she would fall, as Katrina was a very little girl, and the shell bank was pretty deep. So to make sure that she would be safe, he took the other wooden shoe and held it as tightly as his thirsty mouth would permit. Just as she was about to bring up the shoe, sparkling in the sun with clear, cool water, her foot slipped, and with a splash she fell into the water, leaving the frightened Pietje and the wooden shoe that he was still holding in his mouth. A second splash followed, but before Katrina had gone under for the third time Pietje had her by the collar, and was swimming desperately. When Katrina became conscious of her where- abouts, she found herself surrounded by strange and unfamiliar faces. She, herself was lying on a deck, or steamer lounge, on a large boat, and what she later found out to be a New York Millionaire’s yacht. She stared questioningly from one of the anxi- ous faces to the other, and finally said, “Where is my dog, Pietje?” She received the satisfactory J answer that her pretty dog was alright, and was at that very time, behind her lounge. But he wasn t there long, for, at the sound of his mistress’ voice i he had made a timid leap to the side of the lounge, and stood looking at her with adoring eyes. Katrina, weak as she was, stretched out her tired arms and embraced the expectant Pietje. Everyone was silent, less they disturb the re- union of the devoted child and dog. Katrina s eyes « shone with happiness, and Pietje wagged his tail in supreme joy. short excited bark told of their love for each other. Naturally Katrina was curious as to how she had gotten on the yacht, so a kind lady, who had ilC=XK: taken a fancy to the little Dutch girl, told her how the heroic dog had swam to the yacht with her, and how she had been taken on board and cared for. “Your dog, child, is a prize, and I envy you of him,’’ continued the lady, but of course you wouldn’t care to sell him I m sure. “No, no!” cried Katrina. But then she thought of her mother and the hungry children at home so she told the listening crowd the story of her life, and how she would, after all have to sell the only thing that cared for her, and that she cared for. There were tears in everybody s eyes when she had finished, and especially in those of the kind lady who spoke to her. “My dear child,” she sobbed, I have a great confession to make to you. Your story, which you have told, assures me that you are my sister’s child. When I was quite young I ran away from home, and married against the wish of my people. No one knows what I have suffered being separated from all news of them; and now, I can t stand it any longer. I’m going home with you, my dear little niece.” “You — my aunt — that — that left home — and worried them so? “Yes. Oh yes, dear Katrina. I’m rich now — but my riches are yours; just let me go home with you, and I promise never to leave again. ELIZABETH BIVINS, ’21.

Williamson, behind the bat, will absorb any- thing thrown in his general direction, while a run- ner trying to steal second on him will look like a cake of soap after a week’s washing. Connections with the pill released by our twirler, Hubbard, will be so scarce that they will not be recognized as such. Fussell will so firmly hold first that it will be im- possible to separate the two. Hagan on second, can tag a runner faster than the eye can follow, so the Umps will have to keep good wat ch there. Short- stop Ficht can pick up grounders like a chicken picking up corn, and with the aid of South Paw Van V aulkenburg at the third corner it will be an impossible case when trying to figure when to put a hit. Fielders Blanton, Ficht and Barnum can get under anything that goes up or snag anything that passes the invincible infield. With this wonderful line-up Clearwater will have no difficulty in coming out of the big end when playing off her extensive schedule with Tampa, Largo and St. Petersburg. Under the most able management and coaching of the best little coach that ever struck South Flor- ida, Clearwater has the best outlook ever. 3K XK =HK= HOYS’ BASKET BA I E A M XI (ilHI.S BASKET BA 1,1, TEAM ASKET BALL was not a complete failure this season. It was a failure as far as winning goes, but it was a success in another way. The team received some good exeprience and will, profiting by this experience, turn out something better next year. This season’s team was an entirely new squad, without former training and experience, but al- though snowed under by the heavier teams of Largo and St. Petersburg, was highly commended by vari- ous coaches and basket ball experts on its excellent material. We were not treated so harshly at Tarpon Springs, however, the score being 17 to 4 in their favor. The Tarpon Springs trip under the supervision of the coach, will be long remembered by the par- ticipants as an occasion of a special merriment. Williamson and Fussell, forwards, showed re- markable skill in goal throwing and passing, while Hubbard, left guard, held the score of the forward he was guarding to a minimum. Harn, McClung and Hagan also deserve honorable mention.

H. S. could put out a good Girls Basket Ball Team, but several disadvantages were too heavy a handicap. Many of the girls who gave promise of basket ball ability were not available on account of out-of-town residence and jitneys had to be caught. The weather man too, was against us, for rain always selected our two days to make the court slippery and unfit for use. However the girls who came out showed good team work. We are sure that another year with perseverance and a little encouragement C. H. S. can put out a winning team in girls basket ball.
