12 EAST HIGH SCHOOL Boys, says Shorty, my old alarum clock is goin, to ring in a minit an' tell me I bin drean1in'. This is a fact, says Ed, Non-Skid was six lengths ahead on the home stretch an' going strong. We kin start countin' now, I reckon. I like to hear th' jingle when I counts, says Shorty. About an hour later a telegram came from Cy. , Eddy tore it open, read it, to himself, then started on it again. Well, says Shorty, can't ya figger out how much ya Won or is it Writ in Spanish? . Ed gave it to Sam to read. Sam thought that the luck was too much for Eddy, so he started in. Here goes, says he. A H 'Vile took a big chance. General Santy Voono had his roll on No Hope, an' when he seen Skid hit tha' home stretch in the lead, he pulled his daily revolution,'an' Skid got shot in the scrape. No Hope dragged in first. We made quite a mis- take.-Cy.' Mistake, howled Shorty, man, it's a calamity. ,N l1e spoke fur us all. DEPARTURE Four years no-w withifn- thy portals H ave we spent in work and play 5 Har-el it is for us to leave you, H ard to turn our diifferefnt ways. Many are the friends 'we've found here, Many, too, the happy hours: And in seeking after knowledge, Pleasure, 'profit have been ours. Yet the day 'is to as beckoning: Time has come when we must part, Each to take his separate byway, Each 'upon L'ife's work to start. S'o it is with Smile and Sorrow, So it is -we turn away 3 Smile for Clays of pleasure spent here, Sorrow that we can--not stay. NIELVILLE M. GREIG. - EAST HIGH SCHOOL. P Class of June, 1918.

THE BLUE and odds at the track would be about twenty to one. Pretty soon we got to talkin' money, an' that led to the question as to who was to do our p1acin'. Just then in comes Cy Brady. Cy was our printer. He 's some- wheres between thirty and sixty, can look either, and admits both. The only time there 's any hair on his head is when he puts a brush on it. But then overlookin' a few faults, Cy is a good sport. X Cy wanted to know what the mass meet- ing was about, and after Eddy had ex- plained it over again, Cy admitted it read well. Slip me the roll, says Cy, Nan' I'll do the rest. ' So we a.greed to pass the word around and meet at the Arcade that night with all the money we could raise. About eight, the boys began to come in, and in about a half hour the crowd was there, and Cy had his pencil and pad ready to keep track of what he took in. The boys had looked up the field pretty well and felt that at least they had a fightin' chance. There was Deadwood, May First,, The Snail, No Hope, and The Beetle, not a very hard field for our dark horse. Shorty started the ball a rollin' with fifty plunks. He said he had to pawn his watch and tip the boss for an advance, afore he could raise the dough. Ef I lose, says Shorty, the only thing between me an' the grave is the ride in the hearse, so here 's hopin' I Finally we got Cy started on the eleven o'clock with plenty of advice and instructions, not to set in on any poker games, easy shell guessin' or the likes of them. 4 The races was to be at San Juan, just over the line, and Jimmy Benz who was on the track wire, agreed to send us word A N D G O L D 11 as the race progressed, and Eddy was to get it on the phone from the office. That afternoon was a long one. James XVhit- eomb Schaefer, the brunette porter, went around with onlyfthe whites of his eyes showing. He had ive on the nose. Jus' like the old NVor1d's Series, says Eddy. Nothin' but class to us. Shorty said that his weak heart was going to have an awful strain, but Eddy told him Non-Skid could win with only one bellows. Finally Cy Benz called and we all clustered around the phone. They'rcl oiflu shouts Eddy. Wl1o, the operator? says Shorty. Skid's ahead an' No Hope pressin', shouts Ed. - Non-Skid two lengths ahead at the quarter, was the next news. P, I hope she's a long horse, says Shorty. Three lengths ahead at the half, bubbled Eddyg There's nothin' to do but hall in th' shecklesf' Just as easy as a potato race, says Shorty. No Hope is closin' in, says Eddy. That's more like nature, says Shorty, any time I bet, No Hope is sure to win. This is a horse, ya fool, says Pete Blair. i . Aw, I thought it was a new drink. Skid all alone at the three-quarters. James, you coon, get me a two bit cigar! Don' count yo eggs afore no hen lays, was James IfVhitcomb's breathless reply. ' After a report that the best bet was safe and strong on the home stretch, there was a lull, The man at the office said that he had lost the connection, but would get it again in a jiify. We thought that Cy must have had some money up too, and that he had left the phone in his excitement.
