Teachers and even Seniors and Sophomores noticed that the Freshmen that year were the finest ever. The Freshmen realized that although they could not have meetings and parties as did the upper-classmen, neither did they have to pay class dues-as did the upper-classmen. They were content to be looked upon as the lowest in the school, for they had many more years when it would not be thus: so it was with rather eager hearts that they looked forward to the first vacation of their school life. .Much more eagerly they accepted it when it arrived, and went away to lill the summer months with well deserved gay times. After a long vacation they were back again for another long term. This time they were received as brothers and sisters to the Juniors and Seniors and had their turn at looking down on the Freshmen. They sent several warriors from their class onto the football field. and others onto the stage to take part in the school play. Like their fellow upper-classrnen, soon they ncised abroad the fact that in the .-Xssembly Hall a meeting would be held. Never did a greater throng of students from cne class gather in the old hall. First they elected a class adviser, Henry XYelch-then a president, Harold Levine. ln order to be like other classes. they elected their other officers, Katherine Perkins, Russell Blake, and Clayton Fuhrer, who managed to take them successfully through the nrst year of Importance. The big business of the year being over, they set out to enjoy themselves at a class party. Accordingly they prepared for the joyous festivity-and found to their chagrin that they had not stacked up enough nickels in the treasury to allow anything so gay and expensive as a party. There began a great hurrying to collect more. More and MORE. lt seemed that parties were not so easy to prepare. Finally in May, Connie Stafford and her committee gave us a party. As the class secretary wrote in his notes: An enjoyable evening was had by all, and everyone went away happy. For the First time the girls of the school organized basketball teams, the four classes competing with each other for the cup which was to be given permanently to the class which won it three successive years. The sophomore girls, captained by Eleanor Bearce, made a line recnrd in winning the cup the First season. lt had been a successful year, but vacation was welcomed heartily nevertheless. Returning again to school f-'r their third year, the Juniors felt that at last life was worth livingefor were they not almost as grand as Seniors? .-X class meeting was not so exciting as the nrst one of their sophomore year. hut it was necessary: so again the class went Io the hall and named their candidates. Clayton Fuhrer was the choice of the class for president. and Mendel Crocker, Margie li-lennan, and Russell Hlake filled the other olhces in a very satis- factory manner. Again the class contributed to the teams, and to the cast of the school play as well. Another class dance was forth coming: so again at the persistent urging of the U-635- urer the juniors paid their dues and elected another social committee. headed by Dot .-Xllen. The party was held in january in the school hall: there were games and dancing. The class entertained several teams and the faculty. To the hockey team and the championship basket- ball team the -luniors gave many players. :Xgain the same girls' basketball team won the same cup, and prepared to win it for the third year, Spring, coming next, was a reminder of the recepticn to the Seniors, and of baseball for which Juniors did a great deal toward winnine e o the pennant. The reception was given with great pomp and splendor, and in a short time the l THE CRIMSON 41 Seniors were entertaining the Juniors and bidding them farewell. Thus they found themselves to be in command of the traditions of the school. Ah! At last the class of twenty-eight was in it's proper sphere-the senior year. The first act of importance was the class meeting when the Seniors decided who should be who for the last happy year. After a rather exciting meeting, Clifton Lindell was chosen president with Doris Purnell, Virginia Thayer and Norman I-Ialpin as the other officers. With the Ckmsox Bc-ard selected and all other matters attended to, the class considered itself ready to tackle the hard work of the year. They set out joyfully to capture all the honors not already in their possession, and not even thoughts of sonnets and essays to be written could dampen their spirits, It was because of the excellent playing of many boys from the Senior Class that the football championship and honors in other sports again came to the school. The Senior girls' basketball team won the cup for the third time, hence gained the right to keep it always as a symbol of their good work. Since it was almost time for another dance the class elected its social committee whose chairman was Lillian Vernon. In December a line Christmas party was prepared by the committee and Santa Claus tCory Richmondj who gave a present to everyone. At this party the faculty and the football team were guests of the class. Wlhen the Seniors began bringing prfofs of their pictures to school to be exclaimed over and praised, everyone-especially the Seniorshknew without a doubt that graduation would soon be at hand. At an important assembly the Rhode Island Honor Society pins were presented to those students whose efforts were at last deemed worthy of recognition. The Senior Play was next, and The Merchant of Venice was as successful as any play ever presented in the school by a senior class. Soon the Juniors, according to custom, gave a reception to the departing Seniors. After Class Day came Graduation, the peak of the four years' earnest effort. XYith a successful reception to their friends and the presentation of knocks to their members, the class of 1928 of E. P. H. S. joined the ranks uf the Alumni.

At last we have the distinction of being Seniors. After three years of work fshall we say hard work?J we have attained the long sought for title--Seniors. Having elected a class adviser, Miss Hope Baker, we launch out on this, our last year of striving to honor our school. 1 Besides the class adviser the following officers were elected: Frederick XYalker, Presi- dent, Evelyn Frey, Vice-Presidentg Charles Caley, Treasurer: and Genevieve Schwab, Sec- retary. Though we do not claim to have greater ability than previous classes, yet we are proud of many of the members who by their efforts have done their share in putting this, the senior B class, on the map. ln quick succession there come to my mind some of these students who excel along cer- tain lines. ln the group of students whose scholastic ability has placed them on the Honor Roll are Bertha Speelman, Ruth Suggitt, XYilliam Paine and Mary Louise Crossg the star of the Spanish class is Estella Barber, while Evelyn Tardie and Barbara Thornton excel in French. Edith Hawkins shows exceptional ability in English and we prophesy for her a career in the future as a reader. We also have among us various members of the school's athletic teams who are making a good record in sports. Maynard Davis, Don Calder and Russ Higgins under the splendid coaching of Mr. XVelch have helped to make a fine record for the Varsity basketball team. Earle Anthony was a member of the football team of last season. XVe are proud of the record which XN'illiam Paine and Maurice Mountain have made for us in debating and in the important roles which they filled in the school play. To them we accord the distinction of being the orators of the class. Ruth Breaden increases the efficiency of the Library Auxiliary while few classes have had a better physical training leader than Helen Sherman has been. Isabel Hancock helps the orchestra along with her saxophone. Carlson and Hill, the shortest members among us, keep the class in good humor bv their optimistic outlook. Many others might be mentioned for good work along various lines. All in all we feel that the Senior B class with the help of its teachers has made a good record, We leave you Io judge for yourself as to the merits of the class and whether we are a credit to E. P. H. S. Junior A Notes ,xNNoL'Nci1x1i1NT nv nk, PAXRKICR Ladies and gentlemen thoth uf youl.

Caley certainly has It He's usually to be found surrounded by an admiring group of girls. A That giant frowning over there is Mr. Allan, our great debater and essayist, He will argue negatively against Mr. Landgraf on the question, Resolved that, since the majority of the pupils now wear those new red caps, red should be adopted as the school color, Following this debate there will be a description of, A lively hour in the new Gymnasium, by Mr. VVyberg. Miss Jenks and Miss Martin, spelling wizards, will continue with a demonstration of their ability by starting with trinitrotoluene and winding up with extirpation. A very good attraction to-night will be a talking contest, the most loquacious one receiving a southpaw ruler. Miss Mulvey and Miss Hough will be the contestants. Miss XYalker is to inform you why she always looks on the pleasant side of life, Mr. Tidgewell, our new classmate, has shown remarkable ability in all his studies and to-night he consented to tell you of his affection for Trig, Kay, Caley, XYalker, and Ripley, assisted hy the giggling of the Misses Boudrcau, Riley, and NYilliams will give a demonstration on how to play good clean football. Miss Frey and Miss Pickersgill will sing, The-re's no place like school, and Miss Cute will wind up with her brilliant essay. XYhy Latin Appeals to Me.

Nothing to-day, as fre- quently as :hc did in Merton of the Movies. Junior B Notes Vl'h0 is that worried looking individual hurrying down the corridor? Vlihy! none other than our class president, Bob Paine. who came to ns from Crzinston in his Sophomore year. L'p in Room 8, Lloyd Thompson is busily counting the pennies that we have given him to have a class party. He surely acts the part of class treasurer. Ot course we're going to have a snappy party because Austin Mullervy, Ina Broster, Yinccnt McGrath, Viola Freeman, Ray Young and Norma Barnes are on the social committee. lYe are very studious as we have on the honor roll Hazel Caines, George Glover, Kathleen Hancock, Austin Rte. Lloyd Thompson and Arthur Xl'illiams. By the way, did you notice that mark of XYilliam's in Latin? An average of 9752 for the terni's work in Caesar! Madeline Sinclair is our star bookkeeper and Marjorie Skene is our quiet typist. The activities of sports claim many of our student body-Bob Paine for baseball and football. Ina Broster for Girls' Basketball and numerous other students. On their dramatic ability Norman Nuttall and Norma Barnes took part in the annual athletic play, while Gilbert Machon carried a camera on his shoulder, Bob Taylor is our good looking artist, our publicity committees couldn't get along without him. Arthur Williams is partly to blame for the two plays which have caused such a riot, for the back stage managers couldn't dispense with the services of him and his pal, Norman Nuttall. Richard Hart at the piano skillfully accompanies the orchestra while Kal Hancock and Henry Paine contribute to the melody on their violins. And last but not least we wish to call your attention to our successful band under the direction of Mr. Vlfigging Austin Roe drums on his drum, Eugene Pepper clashes the cymbals and bangs a big bass drum, Melvin Mahon toots on a large shiny Baritone Horn, Phil Sherburne puffs gaily on a clarinet and Gilbert Machon slides a trombone. We could put all these pieces together and have a band all of our own!

Merton of the Movies, in four acts, a dramatization of Harry Leon XYilson's story of the same name, and rearranged to suit production by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly. played to a capacity audience at the high school assembly hall last evening, the raging storm having no ettect whatever on those who had purchased tickets. The play will be repeated this evening, and it was said to-day that the house was sold out, The high school seems to be about the only place in town where amateur theatricals are taken seriously. That East Providence is hungry for amateur theatricals is known to really exist, however, and the audience at last evenings productiign at the high school gave ample evidence of its appreciation of the effort. Stage productions at the school are moving along with the years and a decided improvement was noticeable, even over the production of 1926. For instance, the scenery used was designed and painted by pupils of the school. The posters, too, in acts 2 and 3. were the result of enthusiastic work by pupils. The production was directed and supervised by James E. Bates of the school faculty who, however, did not dominate the situation by any means. Those present know the story now and enjoyed it: it would be unjust to review it even slightly, as the Final presentaticn comes this eveiing, and another large company will lose interest if the plot is explained! Russell H. Blake, '28, in the role of Sigmund Rosenblatt, who tries to discourage Merton Gill tMaurice ,l.

Those given this year have been especially interesting. Early in the fall term Miss Grace Scott spoke to us on Child VVelfare. In her talk she gave us glimpses of France during the lN'orld VVar, of the conditions in which our boys lived while overseas. Miss Scott urged the installation of courses in Physical Hygiene in all high schools. In one of the last assemblies of the fall term Mr. Plummer of New Bedford gave an illustrated lecture on XYhaling. Mr. Plummer knows many of the men who used to go out in the old whaling vessels and with the stories he has learned from them made every step of the voyage he described very real to us. VVe were taken down to the wharves, into the vessels, out on the ocean. even into the small boats from which the whale is speared, during the lecture. XYe saw the sailors cutting the mammoth whale into pieces, obtaining the oil, and Finally, watched them as they sailed back into port after an absence of two or three years. Through this talk we gained a clearer idea of the old whaling vessels, the dangers of the voyages. and the bravery of the sailors who went out after the fast disappearing sea- horse, than any amount of reading would give us. Our next entertainer was Russell Blake of the Senior class, who is school representative of the C. M. T. C. Xve have asked him to reproduce his own speech which we hope will furnish you as much pleasure in reading as we had in hearing it. C M. T. C. This morning I want to tell you something about the Citizens' Military Training Camps, the purpose, the life. and the usefulness of these camps from the viewpoint of one who has been there and experienced these opportunities. The paramount purposes of the camps are preparedness for war and instruction in citizenship upon which the future of our great nation depends. The training not only qualifies a fellow as an otficer in case of war but develops him physically, mentally, and morally. The right sort of food, hard wcrk. exercise, athletic games and sullicient sleep all tend to produce a hardy man, physically and mentally lit to stand the rough army life, so that at the end of one month's training at C. M. T. C. a fellow returns a changed man, ready to tackle anything and qualified to stand any opposition without weakening. A variety of courses are offered at the Citizens' Military Training Camps and you may have your choice except the First year when you will be given only infantry drill. The reason for requiring at least one montlfs infantry training is that this is the basis of all discipline and military training. The sccolltl year you select your own course, keeping it for the remaining 3 years, and are sent to a camp devoted to that particular branch. The courses offered and the camps for each course are: Infantry--Camp De'.'e.is. Ma-.s.g Fort KlcKinlcy, Meg Fort Ethan Allen, Vt. Coast Artillery-Fort Adams, R, I. A Field Artillery and Calvary-Fort Ethan Allen, Vt. Many fellows are disillusioned by posters inviting them to spend a vacation at C. M. T. C. at Uncle Sam's expense. To be sure the government pays every cent of expense, but to those who misinterpret the vacation part of posters I will say that any one who plans to go to C. M. T. C. and sit around reading or sleeping all day long will certainly get the surprise of his life, when he is ordered, not uslecd, to sweep and mop the door, work in the kitchen all day, clean his rifle or do a stretch of guard duty for 2 hours and many other unpleasant tasks which one must do to qualify as a regular soldier or officer. To succeed at C. M. T. C. a fellow must have grit and courage to stand the 'lgaffn of army life. Arrny officers are not gentle, fun-loving, sweet-tempered men, 110, they keep you going every minute. However, there is another side to camp, the fun and recreation. Every afternoon and evening are given over to these activities. Military work lasts from 7:30 A. M. until 11:45 58 THE CRIMSON A. M, and athletics occupy the time from dinner until supper. After- supper there are movies every night, automobile rides, motor boat rides, invitations to Newport, boxing matches, and other specialties once or twice a week. Every Saturday morning inspection is held and then the rest of the day is your own. Morning church service is the only requirement for Sunday after which that day is at your disposal. The hard work and unpleasant duties are pleasantly offset by the overwhelming amount of recreation and fun: and I am sure that, if you go to C. M. T. C. with your mind made up to obey orders and to do your tasks willingly and smilingly, you will greatly enjoy your time spent and will not regret that you have been, but will want to go for three more years and become commissioned officers in the reserve corps. Perhaps the most interesting talk of all was that of joe Pontiaco, full blood Sioux for Soo, according to Indian spelling! Indian. He brought with him arrowheads. hatchets, peace-pipes, head-dresses and even a feather flag. This feather Hag was that of his tribe, the Thunder Clan. It was a long, narrow piece of red cloth on which were sewed eagle feathers. Mr. Pontiaco told us that each feather stood for a battle in which his tribe had participated and won and that for each defeat they had suffered a feather had been removed. Life on the reservations was described to us. Mr. Pontiaco wished to make it clear that however bitter had been the feeling of the red man against the white, this feeling was rapidly giving way to one of honor and fellowship for the pale faces, After he had finished his talk, Mr. Pontiaco and another young Indian did tricks with the lariat. Any questions we asked were gladly answered by Ioe. Library Auxiliary During the past few years the library has been playing a very important part in our school lite. XN'ith the constant demand for reference material in all branches of study, the work of the library has become broader and more interesting. That is why our Library Aimiliary was organized-to make the work of the Library more effective and more varied. The work of the auxiliary is evenly divided. Every member reads some worth-while hook each month and then gives a review of it to Miss Hill. Each member is assigned a magazine and must review every issue of it to find articles that may be of interest to the faculty or to some of the students. Many hooks in the library have become torn and mutilated by constant use. XYhen the books become old in this way we put on shining new covers and they appear young again and ready for use to their readers Some of our other work consists of reviewing papers and magazines, typewriting, taking charge of the desk, and raising money for the library. The typewriting is quite important. Cards for the tile, business letters and book lists constantly have to be typed. During National Book XYeek which was held in November, there was an interesting exhibit in the library of maps, posters, pictures, new books, and project hooks. Wie had quite a number of visitors at the library that week. A program of book-reviews was also presented in the Assembly during that week. lt was as follows: History of Book XYeek, XYilliam Paineg Library Magazines and Newspapers, Carl Paulson: A Review of Napoleon, Denton Gravling Two Reviews, David Coppertieldf' and The Royal Road to Romance, Helen lilulveyg The Seven joys of Reading, Maurice lXlountam. At the December meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association we held a sale of fancv articles and candy. XYe were all delighted when we found that we had made thirtv-siir dollars. XVe have used this money to buy illustrated editions of the classics. These books form a real addition to our library, for they are beautifully bound and illustrated. Since Miss Hill has to be at the new library part of the time, the Auxiliary takes charge of the high school library while she is away. THE CRIMSON 59 -v Later in the year we plan to publish a library paper which is to be called 'fBookworm. .We are going to have our'Annual Library Day in May this year. At that time all ourswork will be on display. , ' t V The students who have been taking part in this work are 'Eleanor Bearce, Caroline Bowen, Ruth Breaden, Marion Riley, Milton Hall, Louise Abajian, Lois Johnson, Emma MacConnell, Dorothy NValker, Marion Goff, Muriel Martin, Francis Roe, Everett Ripley, Marion Hough. Ruth Hascall, Luella Holmes, and Helen Mulvey. Our officers who were elected in March for the coming year are: Caroline Bowen, '29, President, Marion Hough, '29, Secretary: Muriel Martin, '29, Treasurer. XYe have all enjoyed our work this year as it has been varied and stimulating. Our aim is to make our work broader and better with each succeeding year. Cwirl Reserves 1928 has proved an excellent year for the activities of the Hi-Tri Club. A great deal of charity work has been accomplished by us but we have also found time to have plenty of fun, as evidenced by a scheduled program of hikes, parties, dances, club suppers, and business meetings. Believing that charity begins at home we gave some of the poor children of East Provi- dence a Christmas Party at the Community House. Each child received a gift as well as refreshments. A week before Thanksgiving we had visited the R. I. S. P. C. C. Home on Doyle Avenue with an abundance of ice-cream, cake and candy for the children. VVe had been eager for a long time to do something for the school, and our first chance was to raise money for our newly organized band. VVe held a dance in the Pythian Temple, Riverside, which was very successful as a large part of the student body and the alumni patronized us. VK'e raised nearly one hundred dollars, which we hope the band has found beneficial. VK'e should show some recognition to the Hi-Y Club who helped us to sell tickets, a favor which we were glad to reciprocate later when they gave their benefit dance. Miss Baker, who is one of our advisers, faithfully coached a play, The House in Laurel Lane, in which six girls took part. This was given at the Christmas bazaar at the Y. VV. C. A. VK'e prohted much by the sale of tickets and the donation of food for one of the booths. Early in january when the Parent-Teacher Association held its Fathers' Night, we contributed to the entertainment by giving A Stained Glass VVindow, a pageant. We repeated the pageant later at the Guest Night at the Y. VV. C. A. Miss Baker also coached this pageant. Doris Vlfilliams and Pearl Armstrong were sent as delegates from our club on a three'- day Adventure Conference at XYorcester in which Girl Reserves and Campfire Girls all over New England had a part. In order that we might gain new members, we gave a Bowery Supper for all girls who intended to join our club. Every girl was dressed in bowery clothes and the supper was served bowery style. The entertainment for the evening was furnished by a kitchen orchestra, composed of four gazooks, a piano and a dishpan. The following week we entertained the Hi-Y Club at a Saint Patricks Party. The long table was appropriately decorated with green shamrocks. After supper we played games and Vivian Boudreau furnished music for dancing. Miss Williams, our adviser and Girl Reserve secretary, initiated twelve girls into our club at the Y. W. C. A. on March 22. Our chief aim this year is to raise money to send an Armenian girl to school in Greece for a year. To do this we held a Rumrnage Sale at Conn's Store in Olneyville, which was a huge success. 60 THE CRIMSON However, we have not mentioned the fact that many of our good times are shared with the girls of Cranston, Hope, Commercial, and Technical High Schools. For instance, we invited the Technical and Commercial Club to join us on a hike from Riverside Square to Harrington and the following week we were invited by the Pawtucket Club to join them on a Gypsy Patteran in Lincoln Wfoods. ln this way we got acquainted with more of the girls and we have gained many friends. As the Crimson goes to print we are planning a joint food sale to be given in the Outlet with the other clubs. lYe are also making plans for a dance to be given sometime in May. Our officers are: President-Pearl Armstrong, 'ZS Vice-President--Doris Williams, '29 Secretary-liladys Padelfortl, '28 TreasnrerfHelen Hall, 'ZS Our advisers, members of our E. P, H. S. taculty, consist of: Miss lYaddington, Miss Ilartford, Miss Baker, Miss lVolf, and Miss Ryan. Emily Coggeshall, Arlene Haskins and Mary Hudson have helped a great deal toward our success and enviable record. XYe sincerely hope that the club will continue such good work next year and enjoy it just as much. The East Providence l-llfY Club The Fast Providence Hi-Y Club, a part of a great national organization, is composed of a selected group of juniors and Seniors in the high school. lts purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. lt is the youngest Hi-Y Club in Providence and vicinity but bids fair to be the ht-st. At present there are twenty-two members. The club seeks opportunity to assist the school and faculty in making our school the finest in the state from an educational, social. athletic and moral standpoint. Any member of the ,lunior or Senior classes who holds a gootl moral and scholastic record may apply for membership. Our slogan is A clean standard in living, in speech, in athletics and in scholarship. If every student in the school would adopt this standard liast Providence High School would be the finest high school in the country. The present olhcers are: Fverett ll.

Orchestra The work of our orchestra deserves particular credit this year. There is no other body of students more willing to lend their assistance to the productions of our school. Credit for the ability which the orchestra displays is clue to Miss Lillian Spinls and her assistant, Miss Hope Smith. Miss Spink, who coached the orchestra and glee club during the fall term, was forced to give over the instruction of the musicians in the Central and Senior High Schools to Miss Smith because of the increased number of grammar and primary schools requiring her help, The evening of the Parent-Teachers' Father's Night, our parents were given a chance to appreciate the excellent work, of which our orchestra is capable. At the school play Merton of the Movies on December 16th and 17th and january 24th, at the Parent-Teacher's play The Rival, March lst and 2nd, and at the dedication of the Central High School on March 3rd the orchestra entertained us, They will also play at the Senior play The Mer- chant of Venice, April 20th and Zlst. A marked improvement was made when the clarinets and trombones were added, 62 THE CRIMSON Members of the orchestra are: Violins: Gertrude Bennett, '30, Estella Boudreau, '29, Ida Checca, '31, Mildred Dam- strom, '31, Kathleen Hancock, '29, Olive Hascall, '29, Elsie Herold, '30, Frances Hill, 'Z9g Eleanor lde, '30, Lois johnson, '28, Myrtle Johnson, '23, Dorothy Metivier, '30, Clyde Nichols, '30, Henry Paine, '29, Philip Pond, '29, Albert Roy, '31, Francis Story, '30, Grace Tennant, '30, Dorothy W'alker, '29, Susan Worden, '29, 'Celloz Ernest johnson, '30, Saxophones: Isabelle Hancock, '29, Gordon Padelford, '30, Trombone: John Kippax, '29, Clarinet, Henry Childs, '30, Milton Hall, '29.

Girls' Glee Club .-Xt the beginning, of the fall term Miss Spink called for volunteers for the Girls' Glee Club, Every Monday morning during' the hrst period lbefore voices had been strained by recitationsl one could hear the caroling of melodious girls' voices, Miss Spink drilled the two part chorus on many selections, three of which were sung the night of the P. T, .-X, Fathers' Night, ln February, when volunteers were again called for, enough girls turned out so that Miss Smith, who is helping Miss Spink, could have three parts in the chorus, Since the lirst week in February the girls have been practicing hard on several new pieces which members of the school and their friends will have a chance to appreciate before the term is over.

I guess you would be impatient too, if you hadn't had anything to eat since last night, and then only half a bar of chocolate you found in the pocket of a raincoat left in the girls' dressing room. Ah! There go the last two teachers-gracious! it's getting darkg and so early, too.

Oh, well-I wonder if the teacher in that room left the door un- locked tonight. She never does of course, but-no, she didn't. Anyway, I know this door across the hall isn't locked, I do hope that some kind student has left in his desk something for a poor hungry girl to eat. Can those be tests on the teacher's desk?

Had not .-Xunt Marv gliven her a brand new live-dollar goldpieee for that very purpose on her ninth birthdav last Tuesday? ' Why, you have a hat, Mary ,lane Elizabeth, her playmates had said, wonderinglv, when she announced the glad news Saturday morning. I I Of course I have, said Mary ,lane lilizabeth listher lklary lane, for shortl. But it's black, she continued, scornfully, and l don't like it, and my mamma don't like it either. My grammer bought it.

And my papa dor1't like it, and my sister don't like it, and my auntie don't like it-and that's why she gave me a real goldpiece all for myself so I can get any hat I like in the whole hat-store-, and my grammer don't like it now, even tho' she was the .one that got it, and my papa don'- You said your papa before already! interrupted Frances accusingly. VVell- Mary ,lane Hushed, shifted her weight to the other foot, and wiggled her shoulders up and down. NYell, anyway he doesn't like it. He doesn't like it twice-so there! and she turned around and went into her own yard. They were in the hat shop now. Mary ,lanes mother had tried to have Mary Jane ex- press her preference of color beforehand, but Mary .lane had refused. Because, she said., sensibly, I don't know what color I like best. I can't tell what I like till I get in the store. Sometimes I like pink best, and sometimes I like blue best, and sometimes I like red bestg but sometimes I don't like any color at all. So they went into the shop. and a pretty young lady with awful red lips Cas Mary ,lane told Frances later! came to help them find out what they wanted. Oh, look! see that red hat, Mother. Let's buy that one, cried Mary Jane, ecstatically, pointing to a cerise velvet model. Mary ,lanes mother shuddered. Not that, Mary, she pleaded. Then this one! said Mary Jane, indicating a blue satin. Mrs. Ercnn consented to let the blue one be tried on, but, alas! it was too small for Mary ,lane's hard round head. i Mary ,lane had hazel eyes and a sunburned and freckled face. Consequently, the delicate pink lace and velvet creation which Mary jane next selected was not as becoming to her as she had imagined it would be. Nor was the pale yellow' one she tried next. After that she tried a red felt. an orange velvet, another blue satin, and a green woolen tam. Mary Janes enthusiasm had vvaned, Mrs. Brown was worn out, and the painted salesgirl was plainly bored. Looks as if you'd have to go without a new hat, Mary Jane, said her mother, Finally. UNO! I want one 2 Mary ,lane stamped her foot, as much as to say that her temper was free and all ready to fly at a moments notice. All right, dear, said Mrs. Brown, hastily. Suddenly Mary ,lane saw the hat-THE HAT-which she wanted. It was fashioned of orchid satin and was evidently in the children's department by mistake. Its curly orchid feather had a very grown-up lcok. Mary jane insisted that the hat be tried on. Mrs. Brown thought it would do no harm to let Mary jane see the error of her ways by showing her how absurd she looked in a growneup hat. However, her absurd appearance did not change Mary ,lanes opinion of the hat. I want it! she announced. But Mary jane- began her mother. The danger look came into Mary Iane's eyes. VVell-we'll see, said Mrs. Brown, lamely. Mary ,lane pranced off to look in a larger mirror. How much is it F asked Mrs. Brown, suddenly. Twelve and a half dollars, said the girl. I don't know how it got in here with the children's hats, but if you'd like it- Oh, no! I don't want it, Mary Jane, the lady says that the hat costs twelve dollars and a half, and you have only five.

High, How luck has been against thee thro this year: Wfhen you should have a win, you drew a tie And when you win, a forfeit makes you drear. You've fought the good and beat the best, my boys: You've earned the laurels of a shining star, Although you're not proclaimed with shouts of joy, You know you should be higher than you are, You always played offensive games, my team, You never deigned to stall because aheadg When you had won, you never thot to beam. And when you lost, you didnt hang your head. Although you haven't gol the pennant, boys, You did your best, and that should bring you joys. CLIFTON LINLIELL, 'ZS Spring The joyful spring time has at last arrived, And birds in trees are singing gleeful tunes: The wintry winds have stopped their mournful sighs. And trees and flowers soon will bud anew. The frogs in marsh and creek begin to sing: The little children laugh and sing at playg The robin soon will be upon the wing, And little skylarks sing their sweetest lay The buds on trees and shrubs are breaking out: The daffodils are wakeaing from their sleep: The sky has dawned without a single cloud. And everywhere new signs of spring are seen. The meadow crickets have begun to sing. And everybody knows that it is Spring.

In the same quarter Pawtucket received a break too, as something happened and Pawtucket recovered on our four yard line where they rushed it over after three attempts, thus tying the score. In the final period with the score 6-6 all, East Providence by the medium of the Paine to Davis passing attack rested the ball on Pawtucket's 45 yard line. Two accurately hurled Lindberghs, Paine to Davis, rested the ball on Pawtucket's twenty yard line and here Andy Forrest, star quarter, with less than 2 minutes to go, kicked a pretty field goal. The East Providence line and backfield performed well for their first feat. Pawtucket went home none too satisfied with a score of 6 points and East Providence departed contented with 9 counts gained over such a large opponent. OCTOBER 7, 1927 Hope learned a good lesson today-that she could not break that good Old East Prov- idence spirit. Our boys completely out-classed the blue clad warriors, especially in line play, and the game was scarcely in doubt from the first few minutes when our backlield ran wild through large openings in the Hope line with Forrest going over for a touchdown. Hope never threatened our goal once and the best she could do was to force a safety. As usual a large throng of spectators from East Providence and Hope were present doing their best to urge their respective teams on to victory. The game went on for three more periods and as the afternoon waned and everyone was waiting for the final whistle, a beautifully completed forward pass. Paine to Davis, gave our team its second and final touchdown of the game. The score at the end of this battle was East Providence 12-Hope 2. OCTOBER 12, 1927 VVell, folks, we evened up an old score today. VVe met the mighty giants from Tech and taught them a new lesson of East Providence spirit. Again as in the previous games Glenlyon Field was host to an overflowing gathering. The first two periods our boys were baffled by the fast sweeping attack of the Tech warriors and it looked as though we were in for a sound trimming as the score at half time was 12-0 in favor of the crimson T. Our boys started the fireworks at the opening of the second half, playing good, hard, clean football. A fumble in Tech's ranks gave us the ball on its 35 yard line. A forward pass, Paine to Davis, put the ball on Techs yard and a half line from where Norm Halpin charged through for a touchdown. Davis made good on a placement kick. The winning margin was attained in the fourth quarter when our boys, with but two minutes to play, staged a march down the field which left Tech gasping. Tech halted the tide for a moment on its ten yard line but another pass, Paine to Davis, found Davis over the line by a wide margin. Davis again kicked a goal from placemeit. The final score was East Providence 14-Tech 12. Norman Halpin, substituting at quarter for Andy Forrest, who had been injured in a practice session, per- formed his task well. The whole team was a credit to its coach and school. OCTOBER 14, 1927 The following Friday our boys journeyed to Royal Mills' Field, Riverpoint, to engage in a football combat with XVest Vl'arwick. The game afforded good practice for them and nearly every boy on the squad had a chance to play in some stage of the game and showed to good advantage. After running up a 24-0 score VVest VVarwick gave up and we called it a day and went back home. OCTOBER 21, 1927 VVe continued the good work and sent the Commercial students back over the river with a goose egg to think about. Our team was running like perfection itself. The first quarter Deck started the scoring when he blocked a kick, picked up the ball and ran for a touchdoum. Freddie Walker added another when he pulled a pass out of the air and ran for a touchdown. Capt. Mal Jeffrey, Joe Gomes, Herman Deaett and Soderlund were towers of strength in our line which held like a stonewall.

It was not long before our boys ran up a 32-0 score. Each and every member of the squad played with that same amount of Old East Providence Spirit that has stood out so prominently in the teams representing our school in the past years. Classical finally found that our line and backtield were too much for her so she gave it up for a bad job. The final score was 32-0. NOVEMBER 4, 1927 XVoonsocket journeyed to our field today in hopes of going one better than its team of last year did when it held our champion eleven to a 0-0 tie. As before, the contest was keenly fought for: both sides played hard, clean football. The East Providence drive started in the second period with Bob Paine crashing through the line for a touchdown, our first and only one in the game. Our line proved impenetrable and our backlield performed credit- ably in all courses of the game which finally ended, East Providence 6-VVoonsocket 0. VYoonsocket went back to the Mill-town a much tireder and wiser eleven. NOYEM BER ll, 1027 On Armistice Day we invaded the cycledrome and faced Cranston with somewhat of a weakened team. XYe lost for a period of time Norm Halpiu and Earle Anthony, a pair of capable half-backs which formed part of our offence and defence. Probably the greatest crowd ever to witness an interscholastic contest was present. Both East Providence and Cranston had large and exceptionally fine cheering sections led by efficient and well drilled cheer leaders. At length the eventual game started and was not three minutes old when Cranston fuirnbled and our eagle-eyed Freddy XYalker scooped up the ball and ran for a touchdown. Forrest made good on the point after touchdown. From here on Cranston seemed to exist on breaks although we admire the spirit of the winning team. Wfith the score 7-6 at the end of the third period in favor of East Providence both teams kept up the Fight to win. Our line held like bands of steel and many times the opposing backs were thrown for losses. Cranston in this period, after Andy Forrest had been taken out because of an injured ankle, resorted to an uncanny aerial attack. A long pass found a Cranston warrior waiting to catch the pass and slip over the line with the winning margin. This game tied us with Cranston for the championship. so we went hack over the Seekonk to practice, leaving Cranston to rejoice over a 12-7 victory over East Providence. Nllvfikllililt IS, IUJ7 On Friday, November IH, the LaSalle warriors came over to our lield determined to go one better than Tech did-beat East Providence. XYe were very sorry that we could not satisfy their demands, as our boys were in no mood to accept defeats, but we did hand them a goose egg to take back to Providence. The game was cleanly and closely contested and both Sides because of over-anxiety suffered penalties for minor infractions of the rules. At the beginning of the second half the ever alert Freddie XfValker caught an opposing back- Held man in the stature of Liberty play, and as the man went to throw the ball Freddie grabbed it and I-an unmolg-,ted tu the opposing team's goal line. The whole East Providence line formed a barrier that was impassable to the LaSalle backfield and our backheld capably assisted our line. Our boys were pointing towards the coming Cranston game and they were working hard. The score at the end of the game was East Providence 6-LaSalle 0. NOVEMBER 24, 1927 A few days later we took an overnight trip to Newburyport, Mass. On our arrival at the old historical town we were quite impressed with the surroundings of the place in general. We really admit that Newburyport is a fine place and that she knows her football. After a very light breakfast we journeyed to the field where the battle of battles took place. We rushed the ball numerous times down to the shadows of Newburyport's goal-post but each time we were stopped by the frantic efforts of the Newburyporters' team to stave off defeat. The Newburyport boys showed that they had a little offensive, too, for they staged a short- 76 THE CRIMSON lived march from their own 35 yard line to the middle of the held, After watchful waiting the Newburyport boys in the final period pulled the unexpected on a blocked kick and if it were not for the quick action on the part of Joe Gomes it would have resulted in a touchdown: as it was Newburyport gained only a safety, netting the two points, the first and only score of the game. As the referee's whistle sounded the close of the game we started back' over the trail with a O, leaving Newburyport entirely satished with a Z. DECEMBER 3, l9.27 Today was the day of days and every member of the squad was physically tit to undergo the great test. The injured boys had all come back to the squad and were in togs ready for the opening whistle. The one question remained-could East Providence come back? Crans- ton no doubt had come through before in an impressive manner but could she repeat her victory over the now powerful drives of East Providence? Before a screeching crowd of 7,500 people Captain jeffrey kicked off to Cranston. History repeated itself and the Cranston man was thrown on his 35 yard line. The Cranston backs found a stonewall everytime they tried to plunge through the solid East Providence line, and they found it hard to down the elusive Andy Forrest and to stop the ripping Yloe' Gomes from penetrating their line, In the last few minutes of the hrst half Deck Davis broke through Cranston's defense and blocked a kick and the ever alert Freddie W'alker grabbed the loose pigskin and limbered 25 yards for a touch-down. Andy Forrest made good on the point after touch-down. ln the third period a pass, Paine to Forrest, found Forrest waiting and as he received the ball he turned and scampered across the line and added 6imore points to the total. The last period found the East Providence team drawing close to the Cranston goal and only the whistle saved Cranston from a wcrse trouncing. Thus the team of 1927 carried on the spirit of the other teams gene before by making it the fifth pennant in a row. The score of this glorious battle was East Providence 12--Cranston 0.

Football Celebration As soon as the football season was over and East Providence was declared winner of the Interscholastic League pennant, plans were begun to honor the championship team in a suit- able manner. The East Providence High School Parent-Teacher Association. members of the school committee, and the Alumni Association were active in these arrangements. The members of the squad were to be the guests of honor at the banquet which would be open to friends and followers of the team, and on December Zlnd almost every seat at the banqueting tables was occupied, for more than SSU were in attendance. At the head table were seated the representatives of the press, members of the school committee, the coach, and speakers. The members of the squad were seated at a special table set down the center of the hall. The loyal rooters were at other attractively decorated tables on either side of the center table. The stage with its fireplace and gaily dressed tree presented a cozy background. After all had satisfied themselves with the bountiful turkey dinner served, the tables were cleared THE CRIMSON 77 and the hall soon filled with students. A varied program of speeches, humorous, congratula- tory and serious was interspersed by selections from the alumni orchestra. The cheer-leading of Dot Allen and Virginia Thayer was a feature. Mr, Samuel Lincoln of the school com- mittee and Alumni Association, and a member of the famous Championship team of 1899 was toastmaster. After the last speaker had sat down, Santa came in from the Northpole and started to distribute the presents among the squad, sweaters, gold or silver footballs to the boys. and a substantial check to Coach Jameson. As Others See Us tQuoted from Providence Journal of December 5, 19271 -:Xnd over in East Providence, where the winning of championships and subsequent banqueting have become habit. there undoubtedly will be a football victory dinner at a time to be announced. This may be a bit prematureithis reference to a victory dinner in East Providence, but the folks across the Seekonk have learned to appreciate the things that are being done at East Providence High School, both atbletically and academically, and it wouldn't be East Providence at all if this opportunity u ere passed up. Some followers of schoolboy athletics who do not understan-1 East Providence and the spirit that brings victory to Town Teams have said that too much credit has been given to groups of athletes who were too big and too experienced for their opponents in lnterscholastic League competition, Certainly, these same followers cannot say it this year, particularly if they saw, as this reporter did, at the start uf the season, the mere shell of a championship team of a year ago that remained. Outside of Captain Mal Jeffrey and Deck Davis, not a regular of the 1926 team was available when East Providence started its annual Interscholastic League grind. It's the spirit that wins at East Providence-that and a combination of faithful backing from the town's citizenry and the handling of his boys by XYallie jameson, the veteran who is more than a coachf' Basketball 192128 As seen as the strenuous fr.ctba1l season caire to a close, Coach Henry W'elch issued a call for candidates for basketball. The prospects for a winning team seemed gloomy as only two regulars from last 5ear's team were back, namely Captain Deck Davis and Russ 111211131 ljlflt 15, 1927 South Kingstown journey ed lu the toxin hall to engage in a basketball contest with East Providence in what proved to be a bard fought game. Our boys showed up well in this their first game. At the end of the game the score was East Providence 16-South Kingston 20. J .vs L An v fi, logs The East Providence basketball squad were Qlltmls of Hope in a little baskeball party over at the Citv Gvm. Our boys proved to be modest guests and treated Hope to a lofltl defeat. The vvorklof Captain Deck Davis, Don Qalder and Russ Higgins was most benefitting to the team. JANUARY 10, 1928 The School of Design proved to be another victim to our snappy baskctmen. This game Wag not 3 league game but it did give our boys a good workout. On the floor the School of Design team proved to be a fast unrelenting team and when the game ended the score was E. P. 26-School of Design 12. JANUARY 13, 1928 - Cranston, new members of the Interscholastic Basketball League, came over to help us open up our new gym. Uur boys certainly did christen the new Hoor right, by running up Higgins. Out of a group of about 30 candidates 10 men were kept from whom Don' Calder, Maynard Davis and Fred Walker were picked to H11 the vacant ranks. 78 THE CRIMSON ri UGG' pn 4-r F5 A-.4 ,M-4-A H- - M i i1b 9 4 4' 4 ' Mr. Welch ffloachb, M.

Captain Deck and Russ Higgins were problems that were more than the Freshmen could solve. JANUARY 27, 1928 ' Commercial came over to visit us tonight and were so taken up with our new gym that they almost forgot to score. After seeing that it was useless to try any further opposition Commercial agreed that the East Providence team could shoot baskets and embarked for Providence on the lean end of a 25-5 score. JANUARY 31, 1928 East Providence invaded Classical to .have a game of basketball. It looked like one of the most promising games of the season, but Classical could not stand the onslaught of Captain Deck Davis and his teammates. The score at the end of the game was E. P. 27- Classical 12. FEBRUARY 3, 1928 XYoonsc,cket came down to play a game of basketball with our boys. Up to this time Vibonsocket was leading the league, untied and unbeaten. The game started off in favor of the Northern City quintet but it wasn't long before our boys came to and Wooiisocket had all it could do to stop the powerful offensive of the East Providence team. VVoonsocket could Find the basket only twice while our boys registered 8 baskets. VVoonsocket in this game was entirely outclassed by the East Providence team and we sent the Northern City quintet back to the city-limits with a 21-12 defeat. FEBRUARY 10, 1928 In the beginning of the second round, Hope came over to our gym confident of victory. Her hopes were rudely shaken when the final whistle blew to find that she had scored only 12 points to East Providences 21. Captain 'tDeck, Russ Higgins, and Freddie VValker, proved to be an impenetrable defence allowing Hope to score only 4 baskets. FEBRUARY 1-1. 1928 East Providence took a trip to Cranston to accommodate that team with a game of basketball. Cranston again proved that it was no match for our team and it fell to a 36-9 disaster. Every man on the team scored at least two baskets while Cranston had a hard time scoring 5 baskets. lfl-1BRL,-XRY 17, 1928 Pawtucket came lu our gym with the hopes uf another victory, hut she put this idea out of her mind after the game was half through and gave up to a far superior team. The score at the end of the game was Ea-t Providence 25- Pawtucket 5. FIQBR LIXR Y 21, 1928 VVe embarked for Commercial this afternoon and got there just in time to satisfy their demands for a basketball game. This game was featured by a scoring contest between Calder and M, Davis, for it seemed as though each was trying to see how many baskets he Could get The fegult Wag that Commercial suffered a 31-3 defeat. FEBRUARY 24, 1928 Classical came into our gym to set off some fire-works and they did during the First period. Our boys thought that it was time to put down some of this and for the next two periods we ran like perfection itself, with Captain Deck and Don Calder dropping in baskets from all corners of the fioor. The score gradually piled up until at last East Prov- idence had a 33 and Classical a weak 2, FEBRUARY 28, 1928 Our boys journeyed to Wooiisocket to play a return game. VVhatever happened to our boys is a secret still, as Woonsocket reversed the conditions of the last game by beating us 17-10 and thus winning the pennant. 80 THE CRIMSON MARCH 2, 1928 Back in our stride again, we traveled over to Central Falls. Captain Deck and Don Calder set a dizzy pace the nrst half and as a result scored 10 baskets to Central Falls' 5. In the last half we kept up the good work and won 39-20. MARCH 9, 1928 XN'est VVarwick stopped at our gym to play basketball. Our boys accepted the challenge and soon had 'West Warwick on the run. She showed little improvement over the last game, and our boys rompecl home to a 45-8 score. K MARCH 14, 1928 A team composed entirely of Alpha Tau Omega boys from Brown University came over with the hopes of giving our boys a trimming. The game proved to be a fast one. but the college boys were not in it with our team. The East Providence quintet ran up a 25 and the best they could do was a 9. MARCH 20, 1928 Our team so far had been beaten twice in the -Interscholastic League and had not lost a game on her own floor. Tonight Central Falls invaded our court. The game was fast and close, the winner in doubt until the final period which found old E. P. leading Z0-17. M. Davis, Higgins and 1Yalker proved valuable defence men. MARCH 24, 1928 On March 24, we went to Newburyport for the return game. This was a hard fought battle from beginning to and which found our boys on top with a score of 27 points to Newburyports 14. The next day, because such a time record had been made by the team, a dinner was given in honor of the 1928 team. Coach Henry VVelch and Captain Deck received tokens of appreciation from the squad. The dinner was held at the VX'o1fe Tavern, Newburyport, Mass. The 1928 Basketball team had an exceptionally fine season. Every night found our Junior High gym packed to its capacity by interested crowds who were treated to many hue games this season Much of the credit for the fine showing of the team is due to Coach Henry 1Velch who has developed an efficient system in the training of his boys and to him goes the thanks of his squad and school. Russell Higgins was chosen to succeed Captain Deck Davis in the coming season. Hockey 1927-28 Vtihen the football campaign was finished Coach Haskell Billings, newly-elected hockey coach, called out candidates for the hockey squad. 30 boys responded to the call and of these boys 10 were kept. Norm Halpin, Captain Lindell, juiiie Read. XYhitman, Caley and Kay were selected to represent East Providence on the ice. JAN UARY 7, 1928 Captain Lindell led his boys to an impressive victory over Classical. The Caley. Read, and Halpin trio was a hard one to penetrate and caused the Classical team no end of trouble. On some fine passwork down the ice ,lunie Read caged a ditlicult shot that won the game. the score at the end of the periods was East Providence l---Classical 0. L'nfortunately this game had to be forfeited to Classical when it was found that XYilhur had played in spite of his inelegibility. JANUARY 14, 1928 Hope came on the ice to give us a good game and they did. For four solid periods the two teams battled back and forth with Captain 1.indcll, XYhitman, and Harvie Kay making it hot for Hope's defence. After two overtime periods, with the score remaining East Prov- idence 0-Hopc 0, both teams decided to call it a game and stopped playing. THE CRIMSON gi n ine- Y Collins. C.

The game started at a fast clip with both teams playing close hockey, At the end of the first period things broke even and our boys were just getting warmed up, and at the start of the third period Captain Linde11's spectacu1ar shot from the side evened the score. Both teams strove for victory but neither succeeded and it ended a 1-1 tie. 82 THE CRIMSON FEBRUARY 18, l9Z8 Hope surprised everyone by starting off at a terrific pace in the First period to get 2: goal past the impenetrable Caley, Up to this time the little goalie had been practically im- possible to get by, but the impossible happened and Hope scored two goals to our one. ,lunie Read, our star wingman, scored our only point. FEBRUARY 25, 1928 Once again the veteran Cranston six downed our hard working team. The defeat on the whole was not a walkaway for the Cranstonians for our boys carried the fight to them from the opening whistle and was only defeated when a Cranston puck-carrier slipped in a rebound in the last few minutes of play, The playing of Captain Lindell and Norm Halpin was the one shining light in East I-'rovidence's play.

' MARCH IU, 19.28 Commercial showed little improvement over the last game with us and as a result Iunie sent a sizzling shot into Commercial's goal in the first few minutes of play and from then on Fast Providence simply toyed with Commercial. Rube Carpenter, a substitute, in the last few minutes of play pushed another shot to make the count of two. Captain Lindell, Halpin, and Kay were big factors in the team's success. The score at the end of the melee was li, P. .Z-Conimercial U. Harvey Kay was elected captain of next year's team. lnterfClass Basketball Soon after the fall term began, Miss lfrccthy announced that inter-class basketball practice would begin. After several weeks of practice a strong team of juniors led by Gertrude Monahan beat the Freshmen. The Seniors, champions for the past two years, again heat the Sophomores. lt only remained for Captain Bearcc and hcr team to defeat the juniors in order that the beautiful cup might be the permanent possession of the Class of 1928, After a hard and strenuous game the Seniors won and the cup now stands in our library, the symbol of three successful years of playing by the Class of 1928. Members of this championship team are: Eleanor Bearce, Rita Gill, Lois Johnson, Virginia Thayer, Anna Monahan, Marion Goff, Lillizin Vernon, and :Xlice Hanley. Ciirls' Varsity Basketball This year for the tirst time lfiast Providence entered the Liirl's Interscholastic Basketball League, and tconsidering the short time there has been a school teami has made a very good showing. The team was very fortunate this year in having a line floor in the new Central Junior High on which all the home games were played, and also in the excellent coaching of Miss Freethey, as a result of which the team showed marked improvement during the season. On january sixth we went to the Providence Trade School where we won our first game by a score of 37-3. VVe next entertained the Cranston team on the same night that our boys played the Cranston boys, losing this game by a small margin.

A Lois Johngon, '28- Carthage was doomed to be destructed by Rome. A Sonnet The teacher said that I should write a sonnet- I said to her, I don't think that I can. I took it home that night and pondered on it, But could not write a line when I began. - I had to use a certain rhyming schemeg I must have just five feet in every lineg I went to bed so I could dream a dream And wake up with an inspiration fine. P I went to bedg I slept, I dreamtg I woke Q ' - In time to have a hazy inspirationg I worked with all the speed I could invoke, And soon my face was bathed with perspiration. The trouble with this sonnet is that in it The words don't make much sense or even lit. -BERNARD GAVITT, '28 H i 5 4 as 6 1- 4' .ag w ,. . . ,lv 1 . YQ 5 V 11 ' 'gg ' .ku .
