Text from Pages 1 - 226 of the 1912 volume:

To our Esteemed and Industrious Co-operator MISS MAY McKITRICK IVe of IQI2 Appreciatively Dedicate Our Rook |N THE year which has passed since the publication of the last June Bug our school has seen many changes, and many new faces and events have come into our lives. The class of 1912 has had the care of the sacred Scarab for a year and now presents this book as a record of their deeds, and as a parting shot at the faculty. We now go forth to higher things and wish to leave a parting injunction with the Junior Class to make their year better than our year in order to bring glory and prosperity to the school to which we owe so much. The editorial board wishes to thank the contributors for their excellent work and the faculty for their excellent advice. The editor has nought but praise for the untiring labor of his assistants, and gives them credit for the book, the quality of which must be judged by the reader.

Upon being given his wn Choice in selecting his Punishment, he signed a Four Year Contract with an Ea t 55th Street Joint. Now. in the Course of Time, a great many other Criminals became incarcerated in the Aforesaid Joint, and its Population grew with Amazing Swiftness. FABLE I. The Female Members of this Organization, whose Terms were nearly served, decided to make a Mash on certain Male Members, who had presented themselves with the Name of Athletes. Accordingly, these Deadly Members of the Species arranged for a Sumptuous Feed for the Aforesaid Gazooks. prepared by their own Fair Claws. The Pigskin Chasers crawled in with the Whites of their Eyes Showing, and looking kind a’ Blue around the Gills. They were around in Knots and Bunch Formations until the Gentle Baby Dolls came and Broke them up. Some Dignified Dames got up and sprang a few Roasty Toasts on the Members, which were followed by Ominous Checkings of the Heroes Knees. Several pairs of Pedal Appendages got Cold. Strong Suspicions were aroused by the fact that Very Few of the Victims Showed up the next day, and several of the Girls themselves were too Unsteady on their Hoofs to wear their French Heeled shoes. Moral:—Banquets should come on Saturday Night. 45 FABLE II. Certain Feminine Members «� f this Crew were Called Upon to Make Life Miserable for the Rest of the Inmates one Monday Morning. W hen everything got Settled they Stood up and Spoke their Little pieces just like so Many Old Maids. Good-Natured Knocks were handed Promiscuously to Mark Twain. Joel C. Harris, etc. A Hilarious Highbrow gave a Pale Blue Imitation of a Darkey Dialect and the Audience gave a Mechanical Laugh at Regular Intervals. The Speakers Stuck at It Bravely, in spile of Moans and Groans from the Victims. Several Hundred Yards of Jib were Hung Out about Literature, Its Value, etc. Front Row Listeners began to W ilt, and some of the Brain Butchers got cold Crawlers. So they Called a Halt to the Proceedings and Beat It. “The Students then Passed to Third-Hour Recitation. Moral:—Some Methods of Killing Time aren't agreeable to All Concerned. FABLE III. A Guy named Krall (because of Speed in Pursuing Knowledge) got it into his Head that he was Cut Out for a Second Vaughn Glaser. So he decided to play the Dickens with the Christmas Carol. That was Some Play all right. He made Dr. Jeykyl and Mr. Hyde look like Hades sued for Murder. A few other bright Stars of Dramatism Glimmered their Glims. Three Big Boobs wrapped up in Burlap tried to scare the Audience by Ungodly Howlings and Clanking Chains made in the T. H. Forge Shop. But they only Succeeded in getting Calls for the Hook. The Thing Wound Up with a Severe Caterwalling from behind the Scenes. The Girls' Glee Club was Guilty. The Universal Success of this Unparalleled Drama brought forth Another the Next Year. An Elongated Damsel with the Cognomen of Newkirk, burst forth with Decisive Talent as a Wrasher W oman. (Land Sakes!) She Diverted the Flats by Roughing Up several of their Classmates on the Auditorium Stage. The Seniors Crouched in the Rear Seats and Got a Word or Two Once in a While. Anyway, The Play cut off Two Disagreeable periods. Moral:—The only Real Actors are Those Who have to work at it. 46 FABLE TV. Among the Inmates of the Joint there were Many who were Crazy to belong to Societies. So they banded together and Formed Clubs with names taken from the Greek or Latin Dictionary. One of these Clubs organized for the Purpose of Giving Sass to like clubs from other Joints, but the Members reflected on Possible Results and the thought got their Goat. The Club therefore gave up its Pretentions to Everything but Getting their Pictures in the Annual. The other Pretentions were Seized Upon by a bunch Called “The Sons of Socrates' . These Geezers succeeded in losing most of their arguments with other Joints. Another of these Clubs Consisted of Electric Bone-Heads, who Aimed to set some Wireless Apparatus on the Chimney of the Joint. But the Height of the Chimney was equal to the nerve of the Bunch multiplied by the Time it took to Fall from it to the Ground, so the Club played Ground Hog and Saw its Shadow. A Crew of Malcontents Hooked Up for the Purpose of Visiting Factories and Carrying off all the Souvenirs they could Lay Hands on. A Gang of Book Agents, who Sold Magazines and Bought Themselves Jewelry with the Proceeds, not content with getting their Physogs in the Annual, had their Names put in the Daily Paper and two of the Illustrious Tgnoramouses put their Mugs in too. This Gang, instead of a Club, was called a Board. Moral:—The Best Clubs and Boards are made of Wood. FABLE V Now a few Convicted Criminals secretly Joined Hands in a Society Unknown to many other persons. They held Rough-Neck Meetings at Member's Houses and Beat Up new Victims until they Numbered Twelve. For this they were Christened the Dirty Dozen. One Victim, Named Rose, was the Recipient of Abuse in the Form of a Banged-Up Muzzle. A worthy Member descovered a Motto in Latin in a Magazine which he Adopted for the Gang. Now an Unwise Crumb wrote this Momentous Motto in his Geometry and then Took Leave of the Geometry. A certain Tactful Teacher, upon finding that Instrument of Torture, read the Motto, “Ad Hades cum Sapientia and simultaneously wrote beneath a small Addition of his Own—“Probably True in Your Case.” Moral:—Knowledge Can’t go to Hades Unless Mr. Durstinc goes with it. 47 OFFICERS 1911 -12 48 Class Celebrities n ENDERSt )N is thought to he our most popular hoy by twenty-two persons, hut twenty-one others think that Horr HA deserves the same honor. The remaining votes went to Conaghan. There are thirty-six humorists in the school who selected Walter Doxscy as the prettiest girl, hut seventeen have been t making sheeps eyes at Mabel Harmon. Twenty-six persons have noticed how Miss W ilder has been killing herself for the sake of the school. Lafferty, too. is growing peaked and thin in the same cause, or at least that is the verdict of seventeen close observers. Yc have forty-two voters to attest that Norris is the prince of Poets. Fourteen, however, have been watching Harvey's pursuit of the gentle muse. Twenty-eight voters believe that Rosie has the greatest aversion to work. The amount of time that Ilasse kills at Ma’s has been noticed by twenty. Zchncr voted for himself. That Day is stuck fast on the shoals of literature is the belief of thirty-seven, while sixteen others believe that Irene Schott is fast drifting into the same precarious position. Gertrude Newkirk was voted the class wit by thirty. Nineteen others, however, swear that W eaver is the funniest little man in the school. Madigan and Yollman each received twenty-two votes as class orator. Madigan is looking for a two-headed penny to toss up. Thirty-one voters attest to Rose’s dexterity at heart snatching in the balcony. Eighteen have seen Piotrowsky camping on the trail of the “chickens”. Olive Spear received thirty-five votes as class vocalist. W ills got ten. Everybody else voted for himself. Schlenker’s Napoleonic bearing has been mistaken for a grouch by twenty-four. Twenty believe that Alina Knoblock has taken our “Monday Morning Sermons” too seriously. W oodruff was voted the class musician by twenty-two ballots. Ruth Lipstreu was a close second with nineteen. P'or the ability to get up and recite a lesson backward, forward or hind-side-beforc, Marie Hines gets the premium by 49 thirty-four votes. Twenty-six others think that Russell is the best downright, greasy grind in the school. The girls voted solid for Elsa Rosor as the best all-round athlete, polling twenty-nine votes. Fifteen want to be shown if anybody can beat Doxsey. There were two voles for “Rosie but we believe that he stuffed the ballot. It is only true genius who can, when knowing absolutely nothing about a lesson, bluff one of our “profs or “professes into giving him a ten. Thirty-five voters recognize Zehner as such a genius. Twelve believe that Ester Howden can cast the same hypnotic spell. Lafferty s happy-go-lucky grin has made him our happiest man, with twenty-five heelers. That Gertrude Newkirk has never been to a funeral is the opinion of twenty-two. It is strange how observant people arc in an examination room. Thirty voters declare that nobody can put a pony through his tricks as well as Zehner. Horr is believed by twenty-three to be jockey par excellence. Hunkin is the quietest boy in school as twenty-nine ballots attest. Francis Anderson has won by nineteen votes the same distinction among the girls. Thirty-one voters have marveled daily at the sight of Gaines consuming three plates of hash with accessories, while twenty others believe that the lunch counter would go bankrupt without Whitehead’s patronage. Irene Schott is the fiercest man hater in the school—she polled twenty-four votes. Gertrude Mathias was only four votes behind. Hunkin has made a reputation as a woman hater. Thirty-two voters stand back of it. Taylor makes a poor second with eighteen votes. Some poor, benighted individual voted for Stanley Krall, but we believe this was the work of an enemy. Twenty voters express their opinion that Russell hails from Mars and that his sole occupation on earth is saying “Tck ick . Eighteen believe that Doxsey originated on the same planet. 50 B. W. D. 5! Nutty Stuff If “Hunter” Schott “Crane” in De Forest” would he Carey’’ it home? If you called Newkirk a Whitehead” would she get Madigan” ? If ‘‘Rose’’ says Doxsey is made of “Schweitzer cheese, does that show he has a Yank-o-vitz”? If Elsworth Wills all his money to Francis And-er-son” what will Beatrice “Sey”? If Herman Schultz wants to get married will Olive Spear” him ? If Snyder” is stupid has Ab-e- Yank-o-vitz ? If a snake crawls into the schoolroom will George Russell ? If Clara Crane is broke will Evelyn “Reilender two bits? If Weiss throws his pen away will Math-ews” it? If Hoornstra” is wrong is Be-reit’’? If Doty” is high, is Ordel-lo ? 52 Cap’n Jim ILENTLA the two men turned pale and haggard beneath his business-like. away from the bed, one tan, the other alert and “Ain’t there no chance for her. Doc ?” almost sobbed the bigger man at last. “Not if she stays in Quebec,” answered the other promptly. “Take her to Denver or thereabouts, and I'll guarantee she'll pull through O. K., but she wouldn't last two months here As in a trance the young man stumbled out of the house and, guided by instinct alone, made for the dock where lay the tug Elsie B. on which he worked. It was a beautiful morning. The gale which had shrieked and howled out of the north all night had disappeared entirely and the sun shone out of a sky, clear save for a faint coppery tint unobservable to the casual eye. The beauty of the weather, however, was lost on young Jim Cutler. The words of the doctor kept flashing through his brain. Only a trip to Denver could save his mother, and yet he couldn't have mustered money enough to send her to Montreal! The small savings his father had left had all been swallowed up in doctor's bills, and now they were entirely dependent on his wages as tug deck-hand! Reaching the tug he lighted his pipe, flung himself down on the deck and tried to think out some solution. Down in the engine room he heard Pilon, the fireman say: “Dat one gran’ oY gale! Good t'ing she’s quit! Put bateau on shore pret' quick, dat gale. Mon Dieu, hope she ain’t come back soon’’! 63 “Ay, lad, dun’t ye fool yoursel’!’’ came Ihe slow response of “Or Mac” the engineer. Ye’ve na' seen th’ Iasi o' that gale. She'll be back aidin' an' God help the craft that canna' make port. 'Twas just such anither gale as this when the old Acadia was Inst— he began reminiscently. With a smothered cry the young sailor leaped to his feet, bounded over the rail and dashed down the dock. Could he never forget that horrible night? It had been live years ago, yet it seemed only yesterday when the Acadia, commanded by his father, had gone down with all hands except the old Scotchman and himself. And the sky had been the same coppery tint between the first and second blow! lie shuddered involuntarily. lust then, hearing someone call his name, he turned and saw a man running toward him. Hi Jim! Wait a minute!” he gasped breathlessly. “Th’ manager wants you right away. I letter hustle up; lie's in an awful stew about somethin'! Puzzled and wondering what the manager could want with him, he hurried to the offices of the Juebec Transportation Company. The manager who had been pacing nervously up and down whirled and confronted the young man as he entered. James Cutler? he snapped. Yes sir. Captain Williams of the Elsie B. has broken his arm. You are to take his place temporarily. Take his place! You want me to run the Elsie B? gasped the astonished young man. “Exactly. Your father was one of our best captains. I've looked up your record, and I think you'll do. Now for your orders. As soon as the gates are open, you are to go into the Basin, get the barges Lancaster and Aztec and gel them to Tadousac as quickly as you know how. The —“ But Mr. Barlow you ain’t goin to send us out right into the gale, are you ? The of Elsie '11 never— Gale? What gale? Are you crazy? If you’ll take the trouble to look out, Mr. Cutler, you'll see that last night’s gale is all over! answered the manager coldly. But Mr. Barlow, stammered the sailor, that’s just the first part. She'll he back agin twicet as bad — “Of course if you're afraid— I ain’t afraid! If you say so. I'll go, Jim answered quietly. o4 “Good! Its a race between us and the St. Lawrence Transportation Company t � land the Saguenay Pulpwood Company’s contract, and we’ve got to have it or we go bankrupt! It’s a rush order and the winner gets the contract. They’ve got their best tug on the job and she can run circles around the Elsie, but they won’t be able to clear for several hours yet so we’ve got a chance. Meat them to it and there’s a good bonus as well as a captain’s berth in it for you. Thai’s all. Good day. And don't save any coal! he called after the new captain. Jim left the office, his head full of confused ideas. The antiquated little tug had one chance in a thousand of reaching Tadousac. Yet it was a chance to save his mother—and he would take the thousandth chance. It was a strange little calvacade that swung out into the heaving St. Lawrence. The weather-beaten little tug was puffing and straining as she drew the bright new barges, their sides still gleaming with fresh paint. In the wheel house stood the grim figure of Jim Cutler while down in the engine-room the old Scotchman toiled silently over the engine. The crew wondered why the captain ordered the hawsers doubled up and everything lashed down, but they asked no questions. It was late in the afternoon when a cry from one of the men atracted his attention. Looking aft, he saw something that made him grow a shade paler, for there on the horizon was a black smudge—the smoke of the other tug. Several hours later, in spite of their efforts, the rivals drew abreast and passed them. The lights of Cap a 1’ Aigle were vanishing in the distance when suddenly a deep droning sound was heard. An old French love song on one of the barges ceased abruptly. Somewhere, a dog howled. Clutching the wheel lightly, and pointing the Elsie’s nose into the southeast from whence the sound came, Jim waited with bated breath for the shock. The next moment with a crash and a roar it was upon them! The stars vanished as if by magic! The water, beaten flat for a moment, recovered and began to rear up into great swells which swept across the thirty miles and dashed on the north shore looming ominously out of the darkness. It required all of Jim’s skill to keep the little tug headed into the wind. Down in the fire pit. stripped to the waist, toiled Pilon. 01’ Mac hung over his engine like a mother over her babe, coaxing such speed as the old machines had never before shown. At first they were driven back perilously near the north shore, but the sturdy little craft soon began to hold her own. 55 Once as they balanced on the crest of a great comber, Jim fancied lie saw two vague shapes in the darkness but when they mounted the next wave they had vanished. Another time one of the barges slewed sharply to starboard jerking the tug around broadside to a swell! It looked like certain destruction but with a mighty heave Jim brought her about just in time to root viciously into the great wall of water. A dozen times it seemed as though they would surely be lost. Three times he almost yielded to the sailor’s prayers to cut loose the barges as their only chance, but each time the thought of his mother checked him. Day finally came spreading a sickly gray pallor over all. As Jim stood, pale and haggard, at the wheel, a half drowned sailor burst into the pilot house. “If we ain’ cut dem barge loose pret’ cjueek, we sink! he spluttered. Dem bitts rippin’ right out by de roots! Sacre, dis ol' tub leakin iak one ol’ sponge! “(’.it outta here, you white-livered swab! snarled the captain.’’ W e hangs onto them barges s'long as there’s timbers enough to hold a hawser! Ah h— he growled as he bent all his strength in a mighty effort to bring her nose about into the wind. It seemed ages later when a glad cry rang out on deck. The storm was abating! The seas were losing their fierce aggressiveness and were falling perceptibly! A rift appeared in the canopy of clouds through which twinkled a few stars. Then almost as suddenly as it came, the storm left them rolling in the rapidly decreasing swells. The next day, the battered little Elsie, her funnel and one rail gone by the board, and with a decided list, wallowed drunk-enly into Tadousac. Behind her, their decks littered with wreckage, but still stately and graceful as ever, plowed her charges—mute testimony to the skill of their builders. Jim scanned the harbor anxiously, but saw no signs of his rivals— for the simple reason that, even at that moment, the other tug lay safely in Quebec, while somewhere along the north shore were strewn the fragments of what was once two barges. The first mate of the new O. T. C. tug Trojan, (which by the way, is the newest, fastest, and most powerful on the river) struts the deck with a pardonable pride, for he is temporary commander of the beautiful craft in the absence of Captain Jim Cutler who is paying bis annual visit to the little farm near Denver which his healthy, vigorous mother manages. 56 D. J. FTRSE. Number Ten |HE Holden Hope” mine was a dreary spot even in its most prosperous days, now long past. Two bleak and precipitous mountain sides, barren save for the stunted pines and scattered bushes, with an occasional glimpse of the mesa beyond, vast, silent, lifeless; a narrow strip of blue overhead,—these made up the landscape. It was a glorious afternoon, but the two brothers standing' on the ledge near their “diggings” were in no niood to enjoy the sunshine. Their last chance had come. They were not quitters —far from it! But when a man secs his last cent go out in advancing an enterprise that no longer yields returns, well, what is there left to do but to quit? And so they had solemnly decided on the previous evening that if the half-dozen sticks of dynamite left failed to show up the lost “lead”, they would abandon the claim. Now they were waiting for the final blast. A mu filed report echoed and reverberated flown the canyon. Neither of the men cared to show the emotion that he felt as, lanterns in hand, they entered together the dark rent in the mountain and parting at the junction of the two “drifts ', went on their final tour of inspection. When the younger of the two men returned to the fork an hour later, he found his brother waiting for him. “Well?” asked the elder. “Nothing”. “Same here,” said his brother despondently. And so they emerged for the last time from the hole in the ground that had literally swallowed up all of their meager savings. Sitting silently on the bench outside of their dilapidated shack, the men stared vacantly through the gap in the opposite wall of rock and out upon the broad desert. The resemblance between the strong features of the two brothers was striking; the same heavy eyebrows shading the same dark eyes; the same straight nose and firm chin. Their tanned complexions and rough horny hands were a visible proof of long days of toil and exposure. Although it was December, the air was warm and except for an occasional gust of wind up the canyon, all was still. 57 “And how about mother now, Will?” said the younger man finally, “We haven’t sent her a cent since before Thanksgiving when we sold the last shipment of ore. The interest on the mortgage must have run up considerably, loo.” Will looked around desperately. He himself had been seeing visions of the little house surrounded by a curious crowd, while the harsh voice of the auctioneer sounded above the clamor of the buyers. He had been seeing the broken-hearted old mother left to the cold charity of the world. He stared absently at an old newspaper lying at his feet. Suddenly his face hardened; he seized the paper and handed it to his brother, pointing out a short news item. “The ‘Sunset Express’ was held up last night a few miles west of Silver City, the robbers escaping with several hundred dollars. No trace of the bandits can be found,” he read. Well. Bob, if other people have, why can’t we? asked Will as he caught the expressions of disgust on his brother’s face, when it dawned upon him what the older man meant. “We’ve got to have money”, he continued thoughtfully, “hoth for ourselves and mother, who may be starving. When I was in Rincon the other day, I stopped in at the station to see if I couldn’t get a job as operator again. I couldn’t, but while 1 was there I heard something come over the wire that I didn’t pay much attention to then. It was that a big shipment of bullion is coming through on No. 10 tomorrow night. “But if we got caught, what would become of mother? objected Bob. “If thing go on as they are, what will become of mother? retorted Will. Bob fingered his heavy sixshooter nervously. The plan was a hold one—nothing short of a complete wrecking of the train. He was not long in deciding, however. “I’ll do it,” he said, jamming the weapon into the holster, “I’ll do it, but it’s up to vou to pull it through. That matter settled, they lost no time in discussion, but proceeded to make up a compact but heavy kit containing the necessary tools. “I don’t like the looks of the sky , said Bob. Although the weather was still clear, a thin mist seemed to he sweeping over the heavens. “Well, a storm just suits us , answered Will. Long before daybreak the brothers were stirring. It had become intensely cold and a fierce wind howled around the shack 68 shaking it violently and momentarily threatening to roll it down the side of the gulch. As Will stepped to the door, something crunched under his feet. “Well I'll be shot! he exclaimed as the light from a match flashed upon a drift of snow extending from the door hall way across the room like a glistening carpet. “We’ll have to pile out of here in a hurry if we want to reach the valley before night, observed Will, “It won’t be snowing down there and the sooner we get out of this canyon, the better. “Be a good stunt to take a compass along. How about the one on the busted transit? suggested Bob. As luck would have it, he managed to smash what was left of the instrument while trying t take it apart with his benumbed fingers. “Get along the best we can without it, said Will as they pushed out into the blinding whirl with nothing but the tools and a little “grub. One last look they cast back at the place they had called home s long, but the storm had swallowed it up. Following the narrow canyon of the “Golden Hope was an easy matter, but when they reached the large canyon of which this was only one of the many branches, their troubles began. They soon realized that they were hopelessly lost. For hours they battled with the overwhelming drifts of blinding white, always coming up against a wall of rock or ascending some small gulch. A hundred times they recognized landmarks and aimed their steps accordingly; as many times the demon of the storm led them astray, buffeting them hither and thither. The outlet of the canyon seemed to have disappeared. At last, exhausted, they were forced to abandon the precious but heavy bag of tools. They were on the point of giving up and lying down in the snow when they found a crevice in the rock where they were protected from the storm. Here they decided to remain until it cleared, plenty of dry wood being available for a fire. All the rest of the day the storm lasted and far into the night. Dawn broke over a dreary scene of white broken by the black rocks and towering peaks swept clear by the wind. The men found themselves not more than a quarter of a mile from the long sought opening. “Another chance gone , sighed Will as they toiled through the monster drifts. As for Bob, he felt much relieved and only feared that by some chance or mischance they would yet accomplish the crime. They found the foothills and a mesa covered with a light fall of snow, now rapidly disappearing. Late that 59 afternoon the)' tramped wearily through the muddy streets of Rincon. At the depot they found the following notice on the bulletin hoard—“Train No. 10—28 hours late, due Rincon 12:00 P. M. Delay caused by washout . That's our train, announced Will as they shared their last scrap of food. But the tools? inquired Bob. We'll have to get along with those we have, said his brother tapping the 45 Colt at his side, and incidentally change our line of march. Bob followed him gloomily. He had no sooner congratulated himself upon escaping from an affair that he little relished, than he found himself in it again. This here, said Will, picking up a length of rope dropped from some wagon, This here will save us a long walk. It was rapidly growing dark as they hurried from the town. Will soon proceeded to demonstrate his labor saving device by catching a couple of burros, which were grazing near the edge of the mesa, and fitting improvised rope halters upon them. Mounting bareback the two men were soon jogging along as fast as the short legs of the Rocky Mountain Canaries could he urged. If we go at it this way, we ll he recognized and the next gringo we meet will proceed to plant us in our tracks said Boh. Oh, I've seen to that, Will reassured him, And besides, you'd better learn not to let anybody ‘plant you’ without first making him look like a strainer with nothing left hut the holes, he continued cheerfully. ' . As No. 10 slowed up shortly before midnight to drop a mail-hag for a certain small town, two dark bearded men with their slouch hats pulled well over their faces, jumped aboard the front platform of the first day coach. They passed unnoticed amid the grinding of brakes and the hissing of steam; for it was before the days of the vestibule train. As soon as we pass that next switch light, said the taller of the two men into the other’s ear, We’ll uncouple the rest of the train. As soon as we see to them —jerking his thumb toward the baggage car, We'll pay the engineer a visit. See that your artillery is in good shape. The other and evidently younger man said nothing but his dejection was not noticed by his companion, so bent was he co upon hi.s plans. Suddenly the younger man gave a gasp of surprise and clutching his pal's arm drew him toward the door of the coach. Silently he pointed to an old lady in the third or fourth seat, smiling at one moment as if at some pleasant recollection or anticipation, and the next dozing with her head sunk upon her chest. “Mother!” gasped Will. With a jolt the train slowed up and the two would-be robbers jumped, and picking themselves up, disappeared into the surrounding brush, never to be seen again—as robbers. Two poor but honest brothers, however, welcomed their old mother into the town of Rincon the next morning. Explanations were short; in fact there was little to explain. The dreaded foreclosure had come, but out of the wreck of her home the old lady had been able to save enough to bring her to her far distant sons and to support them until they could find honest employment. “What if we hadn’t lost the tools?” inquired Bob when they were alone again. Although Will was silent, the tightening of his jaws as he left the room would have told one who knew him, plainer than words, that as a train robber lie was completely and permanently cured. JAMES BJERREGAARD. GI The Reformation of Jack McDonald EY! o� me here! You take this neck- « ke back to old tan Clark. N oil’ll get over there just about supper me, so you had better hang around for you won’t get anything to eat if you come back — W hy Jack! Carl is over to Clark’s. He’s been over there ever since you sent him over this morning. And”, the mother lowered her voice so that the child could not hear, and anyway I wish you wouldn't, because —”. But lie gruffly cut the plea short. Joey! you take up the neck-yoke and git, and mind what I told you about supper too. I can’t always be supporting a houseful of useless brats. They’ve got to git out and grub around for themselves once in awhile.” Jack McDonald had a great deal more to say on that subject but his audience had often heard it before. So the lad shouldered the heavy neck-yoke and started up the trail while the woman turned back to her work again with a sigh. But Jack McDonald was well versed in schemes of torture and now he proceeded to make his wife pay for her interruption. He planted himself directly in the doorway and began to pare the end of a plug of “British Council” for his pipe. At the same time he recommenced his argument on useless brats.” Usually on such occasions he was rewarded by a clatter of pans and dishes which was always ended by the sudden flight of his wife into their only other room. But this time there was no such display, and the silence was strangely disconcerting, lie looked up and found that his wife was regarding him intently, lie stammered for a moment and then, for once, was completely at a loss for something to say. Jack”, remarked his wife, Mrs. Colledge was over here this morning. She says they’re near done haying across the valley.” The man crushed the tobacco heavily between his palms. I know we haven’t started yet but I can’t get anybody to help me. I want to get Chief Jim, but I was over to the reservation last week and I couldn’t find him. I went over again today but lie had gone to Swan Lake to get the bounty on some wolves 62 that he caught. So that now he won't work again for a couple of weeks. It ain't hardly worth while to start haying alone. But while you are waiting why don’t you do something else? All that French weed down by the road allowance is going to seed. The flax is yellow with mustard. You need to cut the posts to fix the pasture fence so that you can keep the cattle out of the crop. Oh! Jack, why can’t we be like other people? They always have enough hay to do all winter and nothing ever happens to their crops. Our hay always gives out before the winter is done and our crop is either burned or frosted or else no machine will come this far into the mountains to thrash it.” And I , she went on, her voice rising in sudden anger, always have to wear the neighbor’s cast off things. Why! even Chief Jim’s old squaw has more clothes than 1 have. When we go to the school-house on Sunday I have to wear Cornelia Beech’s old plaid skirt that was given her by her sister in La Rivier when she was married, and I have to wear Nora Clark's old coat that she used when she lived back in Ontario. Then when I come in all the people look and whisper. Carl has to wear Jerry Beech’s old things and then if there is anything left of them Joey has to finish them.” Jack was packing his tobacco into his pipe with vicious jabs. Once he cleared his throat as though about to speak. But changing his mind he clenched the now filled pipe between his teeth and stared doggedly at the floor. Besides that,” continued his wife, there is this old shanty When we were married you laughed about it and said that we wouldn’t live in it more than a year or two till you would be able to get some bricks at La Rivier and would build a real two-story house. Then we would use this shack for a milk-house. But we’re still living in it and haven’t even got a milk-house. You were going to do so much with this quarter, even though it was down in the valley and part of it gumbo. You were going to show those old conservative Ontario mushrooms’ how gumbo land could be worked. And then by and by we were going to have a house in town. We might even live in Winnipeg, you said. But I haven’t been to town once since we were married. Not even when the railroad came through and they had to move the whole town clear over to another section. I don’t know how a railway train looks or the new church in the Mound or nothing, except what Mrs. Ryan tells me.” 63 This sharp tirade was ended suddenly l the sound of hoofs outside on the hard-packed trail and by the hail of that same Mrs. Ryan. Jack McDonald ejaculated one word. “Well!” and escaped to the stable. It was several minutes before his wife gained sufficient composure to go and meet her caller. Even then, that sharp-eyed lady would have noticed something radically wrong, if she had not been so excited over her own news. She had been at the Mound and had bought a Winnipeg paper. And look at what it said. Two ladies of the Court who were then stopping at the Royal Alexandra of that city were going to continue their journey west. And they were going to pass through Pilot Mound the next day. Think of it, ladies from the king’s court! And, oh yes! she had nearly forgotten! Her sister had given her a brand new dress. The one she had on. Was it not fine? The minute that she had received it she had thought that she would not need her old one any more and that it would be just the thing for Margaret McDonald, it was in that package and there was also a pair of boots in it that her little Roy did not need any longer and perhaps Joey might be able to wear them. She must go now; she was in such a hurry to get home and tell the news to the rest of the folks. She was so sorry that Margaret could not go to town with her tomorrow. Margaret walked slowly back to the house. Mrs. Ryan had taken it for granted that she would not be allowed to go to town on the morrow. But why shouldn’t she go? Jack would not let her. W hy did she have to do as Jack said? She had been doing as Jack had said for the past twelve years and during that whole time she had had not one bit of amusement. —Ladies from the court of the king of England at the Mound tomorrow—railroad trains—the new church—the stores—everything—at the Mound tomorrow. The two boys came home hut she sent them up to their bed in the loft with hardly a word. She sat down by the table and with her head resting un her arms she remained motionless until the room grew dark, save where the northern lights sent their wavering shafts through the single window. Then she arose and lighted a lamp by which she carefully examined the new dress. She then hid it away again and went to bed. When Tack McDonald reached the stable he picked up a 64 fork and started t� � work viciously. But gradually lie began to work slower and lie often paused, leaned on his fork and stared vacantly at the ground for several minutes at a time, very much to the disgust of the horses who pawed and whinnied lor their hay and oats. The chores finished, he did not return to the house, but went out behind the stable and sat down. He lighted his pipe and smoked steadily. The sun was sending his last rays down the long, dreary perspective of the valley. It picked the little Pembina out from its hiding banks and tall rushes and turned it into a winding, silver trail. It shot a golden streak across the shimmering bosom of Hudson Day Lake, while the Lake of Long Grasses was thrown into the shadow of one of the many nameless ranges of prairie mountains. The sun sank from sight, but the after-glow lit up the sky with gold and red, while even the cold blue of the northern horizon took on a warmer hue. The lower hills lost their distinctness and became masses of purple and deep violet. The lake now became a sheet of polished steel on which the wild duck sailed with her brood. It grew darker. In the valley the camp-fires of the Indians could be seen as golden specks beside the lake. There was a faint glow in the northern sky. It grew more intense and became an arch of cold light from which rainbow fingers of pulsating light were shot upward toward the zenith. Up in the valley a wolf cried. He was answered by the wail of another from the depths of a “coulee far out on the prairie. The dogs of the Indians took up the challenge and barked their answer. But the man sitting behind the stable remained silent and motionless. He sat thus for a long time and then he arose and went into the house. He too had made a decision. II. The next morning Jack McDonald got up in time to see the sun rise and tended to the stock and horses himself. He usually left this for Carl to do. At breakfast he spoke only when it was absolutely necessary and his wife observed the same silence, seemingly unaware that anything unusual had happened, lie put on his smock, for the morning was still cold and then walked to the door. Here he paused a moment and looked back, but his wife was busy t' 0 clearing away the dishes and stood with her back toward him. So he said nothing and passed out of the door. lie struck the trail to the opposite side of the valley. It led him first through the wild prairie grass and rushes of the bottom land, then up the steep valley-side through thickets of saskatoons and cranberries, through scrub oak and stunted birch until he came out at the Col ledge place on the broad grain fields of the upper prairie. He came into the yard just as Tommy and his man were leaving for the “slew”, lie said nothing but picked up an extra fork and joined them. At first Tommy and his man exchanged grins. But they stopped this as the day wore on and the man was hard put to keep up with Jack in the “coiling.’ And at night-fall Tommy listened quite willingly to the proposal that Jack made to him before he left for home. Jack hurried on the homeward trail. His feet were tired from their strenuous use during the day. His back and shoulders were sore; his wrists were swollen and his hands were sore and blistered. But for all of this he nearly ran for the last hundred yards to the house. “Margaret! Margaret! he called. There was no answer. It was night and there was no light in the house. What was wrong ? “Carl! Joey! Margaret! Still no answer. He lighted a lamp and looked around him. Everything was neat and orderly in the kitchen. There was no sign of them there. But stay. There was a note on the table. lie picked it up and read. “I ain't had a good time nor seen nothing for 12 years. I have left now and I am going to have one. The boys are at Ryan’s. —Margaret.” Jack read the letter again and sank into a chair. She had gone. She had stood it for twelve years and then had left him just on the day in which he had turned over a new leaf. Why had he not told her this morning as he had intended to? Perhaps then she would have stayed, but now she was gone. What was the use? Just then he heard the sound of hoofs on the trail outside. 66 They stoped in front « f the house, lie heard a cheery “good-bye . Then Carl and Joey came running into the room. They were followed by their mother with her arms full of packages. She watched her husband’s face anxiously as she announced, “I bought some things in town today, Jack.” It’s well you did, Margaret,” he answered, for Tommy Colledge and his man will be over here tomorrow to begin the having.” Oh Jack!” BERNE W. DAY. A Toast I lerc’s to our jailers and wardens. To whom we have knelt and bowed; Here's to the plague of our hours, Here’s to that Faculty crowd. Here’s to our waiting tormentors. Who sour our every day lunch; Here’s to the ones who are o’er us, Here’s to the whole bloomin' bunch. They pile on the work we don’t relish. They slam on the stuff that we hate; But they grind us out finished and polished. With solid grey under our pate. They watch our defects and our labours, They guide us and straighten our road; They help us, and aid us to travel, They lighten the weight of our load. Without them our footsteps would falter. Our struggles would all be in vain. Yet we think of them just as a hindrance, As a criminal thinks of his chain. They all are not angels or virgins, There's not one perfect soul in the bunch; But they always arc willing to aid us, And give work a stiff knock-out punch. So here's to the Faculty members. A toast to the whole brainy band; Long live all the teachers we’ve tortured, Three cheers for the Best in the Land. Lou Natick, 1912. 67 All Is Not Gold “Your shake, Id man,” said lie. “All right.” The speaker paused a moment i«� light his pipe before continuing. 'fhe flickering light of an express car fell on the two men playing cards on a large box turned endwise. In the corner of the car and all along one side, crates with fruit looking out between the bars, and boxes large and small, loomed up out of the shadows. Xorman Slater, messenger for the Adams Kxprcss Company, was playing the part of host to a younger man. Charley Ilill. Just as the former had the box poised to throw the dice, the train stopped. Nine-twenty,” observed Slater, looking at his watch. “Must have been flagged. No regular stop is made at this time.” Just then a knocking was heard at the door. “Get behind those boxes in the corner there, Charley, till I call you. Grab the cards and things.” All right,” and Charley disappeared. When Slater had opened the door, he found the conductor there waiting. Thought I’d come in as long as T had a chance and have a little game till we get to Harrisburg. I havn’t anything to do now. We’re on schedule.” Slater’s heart was in his mouth. The conductor, of all people! If he could only be sure that Charley would keep still! “How I hate this fellow,” lie said to himself. “He is a typical hypocrite. Tries to make me think he likes me.” Where’s your cards?” inquired Garett. “Whcre’d I put them, anyhow?” feeling in his pockets. “There's one over there,” exclaimed Garett, going after it. I’ll get it. Garett. I know where the others are now.” Putting his fingers on his lips, he held out his hand to Charley and when he received them gave a little sigh of relief. The veil of enmity which had hung between the conductor and the messenger was soon dissolved or at least pushed aside. Loud roars of laughter rang out and the cards cracked as they were laid forcibly on the table. Suddenly a loud crash over in Charley’s corner made Slater think of the trouble on his hands again. He attempted to go over alone but Garett insisted on going with him. There stood 68 Charley sheepishly rubbing his eyes and Slalcr looked hopelessly at the conductor. What does this mean, Slater? he asked. Someone told me they saw a stranger going in your car and I came in on purpose to find out if it were true.” W ell, you've found out, haven’t you?” Yes, I know all I care to, now. You mav expect a nice little talk with the boss in Washington. You know very well that the rules of this company sa no one may be carried in the express cars without the knowledge of the conductor.” ith that he left them, the train having stopped at Harrisburg. Say, Norman,” began Charley alter Slater had taken on an addition to the boxes in the car, I’m awful sorry I got you into this. What can he do? “Don’t worry, Charley,” answered the oilier, bitterly. He’ll do all he can to get me out and I suppose that two weeks from now, if not sooner, will see me looking for a new position. You couldn’t help it, though. It's just my luck.'' To himself lie said, I just felt all along that I'd get caught. I didn’t want to take him, but Beth insisted that it was my duty to carry him hack to Pittsburg before his mother died. I should have loaned him the money but money is scarce with me just now. That sneak Garett, must be highly pleased with himself.” Go and get some sleep, if you can, Charley I must check up some bills.” When they entered the gates of the Smoky City next morning, Charley wrung Slater’s hand and could not find words in which to thank him enough. On the return trip to Washington where the messenger lived, his head ached as he tried to plan for the future. At the capital, he gave a hand to the unloading and then, walking through the noisy, sooty yards to the brilliant station, finally entered the superintendent’s office with reports concerning his run. The chief clerk called out, “Hello! Slater. Hello! Where’s the Old Man? Went home a little while ago. Said he wouldn't be back tonight.” All right. Sec you Monday. So long. The street car was packed at Pennsylvania Avenue but by the time Takoma Park was reached it was almost empty. A short cut through some fields took him home in no time. As he 69 sighted the house a hoy of eight and a little girl of five came skipping down the path hand in hand to meet him. He tossed them both up in his arms and carried the little girl into the house where he was greeted by his wile. ‘Tm so glad you have tomorrow off. We won't go out but we’ll just stay at home and read, if von like that better, said she. “That’ll be fine.” answered Slater. “1 feel as though I’d like a good rest. “Come, children. It’s past bed-time, you know. I let you stay up to meet father tonight.” “Yes, Mother. and they trudged up the winding oak staircase beside her. Slater went up, too, but soon, in a pair of slippers and a smoking jacket, came down again with Beth. She chatted about the children while he ate the juicy steak and drank the steaming coffee which awaited him. “Guess I won’t say anything about it all now,” said Slater to himself. “I don't like to see her worried. I’ll wait till I am positively discharged, having a little glimmer of hope that the contrary might be true. I’ve been working for them seven years now and they've never had any reason before to complain of me. Perhaps they might take that into consideration.” “W ell, let’s get to bed now, Beth,” said he aloud when he had eaten his meal. Next day. a log of wood cracked and blazed in the great fireplace. The children played quietly so as not to disturb father. Slater sat there buried in the Sunday papers. He had held the same one all the afternoon and the words, running into each other, made it a gray blue. He noticed dreamily that Beth’s chair creaked as she rocked and that she tapped her foot lightly on the floor to keep herself going. “I wonder —’’ he thought. “What shall we do when I am told to leave? Where shall we move to? I'll have to start on lower wages and then —. So the afternoon dragged away. After an early supper Monday, Slater left the house. Suddenly he turned back. Beth opened the door and with a laugh, handed him his lunch saying, “That’s means bad luck, Norman.” He was walking rapidly through the station, the beauty of it all making no impression on him because of its familiarity, when he was clapped on the shoulder by “Dad Hastings, another messenger. “Hello! Norm. said he. “Hello! Been to the Old Man’s office? “Yes. He wants to see you. What’s up?” 70 “Oh, nothing much, I guess. Sec you later,” lie said as he left for the superintendent’s office. Before a roll lop desk, in a swivel chair, sat a man whose hair was tinged with gray. Booking up from his papers he swung around and said with a mocking smile, “It’s all up with you, Slater. You’re discharged for disobedience of rules ’ “Mr. Northwav, won’t you take my past record into consideration and give me another trial?” questioned Slater. “You should know better than to ask such a thing. No, don’t talk to me for 1 have no time this evening. After this run, you will receive your salary and you are discharged once and for all. That is all,” and with a wink and a lop-sided sort of smile he pointed to the door. Slater dug his nails into his palms to keep his anger down. “That cynical grin of his! lie wouldn't let me make any explanations. How I hate him and all he represents! He and Garett are in league against me.” He threaded his way through the depot to the outside where the men were putting a last few things in his car. Looking around, his eye took in all the familiar things of the place. Next to his car was the engine polished until it shone. The fireman, lit by the glow, was feeding coal to the great iron monster. The car inspector in greasy jeans coming along the tracks carrying his queer looking oilcan with its long spout; how he would miss him! How many tracks there were! He started to count them as one counts stripes in wall paper, but he might have tried counting the stars with no worse result. Vaguely, now and then, the voice of the train caller drifted in from the depot. Little red sparks from the engines shot up into the air only to turn to cinders and fall. Insistently, through all the hubbub, the great iron bells clanged. He stood there awhile and then climbed up into the express car. There sat “Dad” Hastings, chair tilted against the wall as he read the paper. “What are you doing here. Dad?” asked Slater. “Why, I’m here to protect you and a pile of money from wicked robbers, laughed Hastings, sticking his thumbs in the armholes of his vest. “See,” and he pointed to two rifles standing in a corner. “It’s just a matter of form, 1 guess. But say, there's more money in this car than you or I ever saw or ever will see. Both stationaries (large iron combination safes) full, both locals (small safes with padlocks) and those little bags there hold Lincoln pennies for the banks. Then that mail bag is full of currency.” 71 W hew!’ whistled Slater. What a fortune! Well, I’ll close up now.” Just as he finished locking the doors, they pulled out of the station. The train consisted of the engine, the express car and five sleepers. Let's have a game,” suggested Hastings. They pulled a box out under the oil lamp and played till just before Harrisburg was reached. At the station, the doors of the car were opened letting in a Hood of blue-white light. Some of the load was taken from the car, placed on rattling trucks and rolled away. More boxes were brought into the car, filling up the spaces. When the lights of the city were left behind, Hastings proposed a sleep. Slater excused himself on the plea of work. Fulsome time he stood before an improvised desk, a blue pencil stuck behind bis ear and a stamp in bis hands. At intervals the yellow slips would crackle and he would check them with bis blue pencil or stamp them per N. C.” Finally, the bills were out of the way and he sat down with bis chin in bis hands. How can I tell Beth that they have discharged me?” he thought. “It means that we must give up our pretty home in 'Tacoma Park. And then, what can 1 do? I’ve always worked for some branch of the express company. If Northway had only given me a fair trial, a chance to explain, it might have been patched up. He seemed to think it the funniest thing in the world to put me out of a position. And that conductor! He’s the last straw. I’m going to sleep now. I don’t care a snap for any rules of this company. If any one should come along and attempt to remove this money, I wouldn’t raise a finger to stop him. I think I should do all in my power to help him just to see the company get in trouble with Uncle Sam. Now I’ll follow Dad’s example, rule or no rule.” He piled up some packages on boxes, rolled up his old coat, turned down the light and lay down. The shadows now, had full possession of the car. They seemed almost animate. Suddenly the train stopped. The quick jolt awakened Slater who sprang up and turned on the light. Altoona!” he exclaimed. “A short stop here too, and five boxes to unload. Hastings! Dad! he shouted. Harper arose, rubbing his eyes. Say, help me push this door back. It’s stuck!” said Slater. Their united strength succeeded, and sliding the heavy door back they were confronted not by the lights of Altoona’s station but by the yellow rays of a lantern. Around it stood the engineer, 72 the fireman and last a stranger, heavy of build, backed by a wicked looking revolver. He had them all covered. The rifles that Harper had brought were standing where he had put them, in the farthest corner. Ah, here's my chance to get even with the company ’ and Slater, figuratively, shook hands with himself. A picture of the sneering superintendent formed before him and he could imagine the triumphant I told you so” of the conductor. And Beth —. “Climb up there, you two” the stranger commanded. “And if anyone moves, it’s all over with him. Now to business,” he said as he followed the others into the car. Slater’s eyes followed the man’s every movement. He caught the careless glance at the safes and noted that the expression on his face did not change in the least. That fact gave him a clew. He certainly doesn't know much,” thought Slater. Who’s in charge of this car?” inquired the robber. “I am,” answered Slater. “Got much with you this trip?” Say, you just missed it. They had an awful big load on the train ahead.” At that the man scowled deeply and muttered beneath his breath. “Well, now what’s in this bag?” pointing to the mail sack. Oh, that’s just some company correspondence,” answered Slater in an offhand way. “Throw it aside, then. That’s no good. At this point Slater said in a sort of stage whisper. “Don’t let him see those bags, Hastings.” The robber took the bait. “Let’s see those bags. Come, now. No dilly-dallying. What’s in them?” he demanded of Slater. “Nothing important.” “We’ll see.” So saying he broke the seal on one of the bags and looked at its contents. Catching the yellow glitter, he was satisfied. “Each of you, except you,” pointing to Slater, “carry some of these now, and get out of here as quick as you can. I haven't any time to waste.” They obeyed him believing in this case that might was right. When they were outside, Slater recognized the place. It was called Narrow Gulch. On one side of the tracks, far below, was a black rushing river; on the other, one of Pennsylvania's many hills. “Now, here's something for you,” said the stranger to Slater, giving him a black bag, and handing him the lantern. “What’s this?” 73 “Oh, that’s whal left of the dynamite I put on tin track in back of me in case the engineer did not stop for my signal. But he was easy.” Slater made a motion to put it down, but the revolver was leveled at him, so he changed his mind. A figure in uniform which turned out to be Garett now came running up to them. The stranger pointed his revolver that way and put his finger on the trigger. The fellow ran all the way to Altoona. The wierd four with their bags and their commander behind the gun marched on. W hen Slater had the chance he whispered to the engineer. He won't make us go far, so as soon as we get back you start off right away and let nothing stop you. We have lost only about ten minutes and you can make that up. All right, I'll do as you say.” 'They now came upon a footpath at the top of the hill when the robber said, Put everything down right there and then—Git!” They knew what he meant and raced down the hill. The engineer got into the cab with the fireman and called out All aboard! He then opened the throttle wide and they were off. When they finally reached Pittsburg next morning, the engineer told the story to the head of the express company there. The fireman put in a few words of his own, too. The Head seemed to enjoy himself immensely, laughing loudly at the incident of the stage whisper. He must have been what people call a greenhorn, said he. ‘‘He’ll be as easy to trace as though he wore a tag saying ‘Wanted by the Adams Express Company’. Slater really deserves a gold medal I suppose for keeping his nerve and telling a few—shall we say stories? However, he is doomed to disappointment, for I shall give him a good steady position. To return to the robber. When he reached the top of the hill, where he had a large burlap bag ready to receive his booty, he said half aloud, ‘‘I'll just take a look at the bag I opened. Thus I can see the size of those gold pieces and be getting an estimate of the whole while I am putting it in the ground.” Just then the shrill whistle of the departing train was heard. He suited his action to the word and opened the unsealed bag. He held one piece to the lantern. Then digging feverishly in the other bags he pulled out handful after handful, only to find that he had taken away five small bags of new. shiny Lincoln pennies.

It embodies all of the fundamental principles mBb I of composition and color combination. During the first problem, beginning with the combination of forms in black and white and later on introducing color. But in the senior year they are all combined and put to practical use in the interior decoration problems. Decoration is the art of beautifying a subject by the harmony of colors, or by the rythmical arrangement of appropriate forms; usually these devices are combined in a unity and concentration of effect. In mural decorations, which is the kind generally used in interior decorations, the colors are subdued and toned. Here the decoration is not the principal attraction but is only the background against which the pictures of life are formed. Public buildings demand a treatment which is altogether different from that used in the decoration of homes. Many rooms are used only on special or stated occasions and no person spends a great part of his time in them. Such rooms may be treated in a manner more pretentious and magnificent than the rooms of a private home where the decorations should always be quiet and restful. In public buildings the size of the rooms is such that a person looking down the length of the room sees the ceiling as well as the walls and floor, but in the home the rooms are so small that the ceiling is rarely noticed. Therefore the ceiling of the public room needs careful decoration while the ceilings in the home should be left plain. The first influence that enters into the decoration of a home is its location. Is it in town, in the country, by the sea-shore, or on the mountain side? The climatic conditions also enter into consideration. They influence the construction of the house, deciding whether it shall be open and airy with a broad piazza encircling three sides of it, or whether it shall be built to keep out the sweeping winds and drifting snows. The home should be in keeping with its surroundings. If it is by the sea-shore its decorations should be suggested by the 77 sea, and its walls should repeat the tones of the sea, of the sands and sky. There one should find the browns of the road, the olive greens of the mosses and the paler tints of the scattered sand grasses. Jf the house is among the trees on the mountains the treatment should be more forceful so as to correspond to the immovable solidness of the hills and the great masses of foliage. The furniture should appear heavier with deeper and more positive colors. In a place like this where there arc so many different shapes and small natural details around one, such as (lowers, shrubs and grasses, a pleasant contrast is to be had by leaving the walls quite plain, subordinating shapes to color. On the other hand, at the sea-shore where the beach, the sea and the sky form great stretches of uninterrupted color, it pleases the eye if the wall spaces are somewhat broken by designs but held together by close harmony of forms and colors. When the location of the house is selected we must see to its shape and proportions as to height and breadth and to the composition of its elevations. Composition is simply the division of a limited space. The first requisite is utility, but at the same time the home must be beautiful, for that is one of the things which mark the ascendency of man over the animal. A wolf burrows a hole in a bank for his home. This answers all of the requirements of utility, but few human beings would care to live in such a home. Convenience locates the position, as well as the size, of the various rooms in the house and when we come to furnish them we must take their location into account. If a room has a southern exposure it should be treated with cool, light colors,— blues, water-greens and silvery tones,—which will contrast with the yellow of the sunlight. If a room has a northern exposure, or by reason of a shading porch does not receive the direct sunlight, it should be treated in warm bright colors, in reds and golden browns or in yellow and gold colors. If gold is used in the sash curtains of such a room it will give the effect of sunshine, while if it were used for curtains in a room having a southern exposure, the effect would be almost dazzling. Eastern and western exposures are neutral and such rooms may be treated in either the warm or cold colors according to the taste of the individual and the intended use of the room. When choosing the color for a room it is well to choose a light shade, for any interior will be dark, when compared with the outside, in spite of the 78 number of its windows; for there will be dark corners in every room no matter bow well it may be lighted. Bedrooms should be the lightest, the living rooms and the library will stand deeper colors. Dark colors have a tendency to make a room seem smaller. After the color of the room has been decided upon, the graduations must be determined. The strongest and purest tones of color belong on the floor of the room and must be used in the rugs and carpets. Polished hardwood floors are usually not successful without the aid of rugs for the natural color of the wood is not deep enough. The next graduation is on the walls which must be distinctly lighter, while the ceiling should be the lightest of all, for, in a way, it must represent the sky. The other shades and variations of the color can be supplied by the furniture and the draperies. If the wall is left blank it will be uninteresting and monotonous. This is remedied by the use of fire-places and mantels, by the cabinets, book-cases and other pieces of furniture that are placed near it, and also by the pictures. But there is still an uninteresting strip above the line of the pictures. This is the place for a border or a frieze. The squareness, the solidity and the strength which characterize architecture demand that this border, too, be geometrical. The flowers and grasses, the ferns and graceful bending branches are the most beautiful of nature’s productions, but when placed alone on a wall they seem to be weak and yielding, and are wholly out of place. However, this kind of a design may be used if it is held together by some simply repeated geometrical design or even by straight lines, one of which may be a picture molding. In choosing the draperies for a room one should consider the walls of the room. Where the walls are plain, a figured material should be used for the draperies, but where the wall is papered and covered with a design, plain draperies should be used whose color is of the most pronounced tint used in the paper. The furniture must always be chosen on account of its appropriateness to use. Mahogany furniture would seem out of place in a room having a mantel of tapestry brick; but quite appropriate in a room having a tile or marble mantel. In the bedrooms the draperies should be washable, the walls should be done in oils so that they may be cleaned when necessary, and the 79 kitchen furniture must be chosen because of its ability to stand hard service. Yet it need be none the less beautiful for that. These are some of the general influences which should be followed by anyone who would have a beautiful home. There are however a thousand and one smaller details upon which each individual must pass his own judgment. Thus each home is the expression of the family in that home and each room expresses the individuality of its owner. Emerson says, “Though we travel the world over to hnd the beautiful, we must have it with us or we find it not.” HERNE YV. DAY. so Yale, ’82 T was a wild night. The wind whistled through the §3p[ rigging f the ships in the harbor. The sky was pitch black with fleeting clouds from which a steady driving rain fell, and the boom of the waves upon the breakwater sounded like an imprisoned maniac beating upon the door of his cell. A silent figure in a heavy coat and a derby slowly forced its way against the wind down the little waterfront street toward a low building, from whose two windows a light illuminated the raindrops as they fell, and from whose interior came the sound of rough voices above the howling of the storm. “Vo ho, boys, vo ho. up with the hook and away we go Across the rolling sea, to the coast of Barbaree, We’ll drink and sail, and sail and drink, For we don’t give a rap how often we sink.’ This was the refrain which reached the cars of the lone pedestrian as he continued his course down the sidewalk and turned in at the door of the place from which the singing came. Inside the scene was different. A long bar occupied one side of the room behind which stood the aproned figure of the bartender and proprietor. The remainder of the room was fdled with tables at which sat a number of men clad in the characteristic garb of seamen, who were engaged in card games, punctuated by loud shouts and songs which originated from a small group at the bar. A small iron stove in one corner did its best to draw the chill from the stormy October night and evidently gave great comfort to a ragged man who sat curled up in a large chair before it, intently watching the men in the room with a pair of small black eyes which twitched nervously. At the entrance of the stranger from without, a sudden hush fell over the room, the sailors at the tables laid down their cards, the men at the bar their glasses, and the barkeeper moved over to one end of the bar and placed his hands in his hip pockets, where his steel argumenters reposed. The stranger loosened his closely buttoned coat, disclosing the black clothes and high vest of a dispenser of the Gospel. Then he stepped further into the room and quietly addressed the expectant group. 81 “My friends, this is a terrible night, and the storm places all the souls which are somewhere tossing about on the mighty waves, at the mercy of God. In place of the songs and laughter in which you have been indulging, let me lead you in prayer for the safety of those who may never see land again.” His speech was greeted by a breaking of the suspense in the form of laughs and cries of, “Gospel shark! T’row ’im out! Do your duty ’Arry.’’ The bartender who was known by the descriptive name Longshore Harry,” removed his hands from his pockets, laughed and said, Stow it. These here boys are havin’ a good time. Don’t bust it up. It’s darn nice of you to trot your little Bible down here, but I’ll tell yu’ yu’v struck the wrong port. The boys’ll all be up to church Sunday, enyways; so go back to yer little bed, Percy, yu might catch cold.” This sally was applauded by laughs and more shouts from the men, but the preacher cleared his throat to speak, only to be interrupted by a motion in the corner by the stove. The ragged figure had uncurled itself, and the small black eyes took in the whole room as a thin voice issued from the unshaven lips. “Boys ’ he said, “don’t be hasty. Percy here haint hurt you none, has you Percy? Let ’im give his little spiel, it’ll do y'u good. I’ve got a wife and two little kiddies cornin’ across from the old country tonight. Think of all of youse which has pals and mates out there. How’d y’u like to meet ’em in the next world and say, ‘Larry, me boy, 1 prayed for ye.’ They ain’t no chance for any of us to go to heaven any more, but its goin’ to help a lot. Get out yer book, Percy, and sail into ’em, they dasent tech ye.” The minister glanced over the many faces turned toward him, creased by the weather and hardened by the sun. He knelt, and in a steady voice prayed for the many men who were beyond reach of shore. He prayed for those present and for the many souls who have “gone down to the sea in ships,” never to return. When he had said his “Amen,” he rose and approaching the queer fellow in rags and dirt, held out his hand to him and said, “Brother, I see you have a heart and feeling. You seem to have suffered misfortune. Tell me if you will accept the offer of aid which f extend to you.” “Stranger,” returned the tramp, ”1 want to thank ye for the offer but 1 can’t take ye up. I may look poor but I’ve got a thousand wheels in the bank in Savannah. Just as quick as I can bum a ride there I’m coinin’ back to meet my family, which 82 is coinin’ over to jinc me. I want to thank ye jest the same. I was once an eddicated man, hut I got to boozin’ and here I am. I know th’ boys all liked ycr little talk an’ I know I did. Jest the same I’m glad I didn’t take up the preachin’ game the way my daddy wanted me to. I’m a college man, Yale 82, but ye sec I didn’t go to chapel reg'lar and if its jest the same io you I’m goin’ to asl Harry to set us up. Lord help the poor devils down in the fo’c’slc tonight.” LOU NATICK, 1912. The Poet’s Dream 0 Muse! come bathe my brow with fantasy Of fairy life, the cream. And hearken to the thrill of hidden ecstasy In this sweet dream. 1 lie amid the sunbeams as they play. Thru fleecy clouds above. And dream thru stilly night and idle day, Of one I love. She is the fairest of the angel clan. And wondrous lovely ever, Her spell is such I’m certain that I can Describe her never. If you would see this fair one so divine, This fairy from above, Go. and upon the green alone recline And dream of love. You’ll see her splendor, and you know full well Just how, to you, she'll seem; I cannot all her charm and beauty tell; She's but a dream. 83 Lou Natick, 1912. Machine-Shop Practice MO understand more clearly the machine-shop course, it is necessary to review all of the technical and several of the academic branches covered thus far. Mathematics, cheni-istrv. physics and industrial-geography bear more or less directly on machine-shop practice. Without these progress would be impossible as they form the alphabet of solution for arising problems, and a means of thoroughly understanding the properties characteristic of the metals and substances used. Mechanical drawing is the language of engineers and designers which expresses and conveys ideas to the builders in the most concise and intelligent manner. A knowledge of pattern-making is necessary; for, without patterns or forms, it would be impossible to produce other than the simplest form of castings used in the machine-shop. Foundry practice is taken in connection with pattern-making, forming its respective link in the chain from draughtsman to machinist. The object of this course in technical schools is not to produce specialists in any one line, but to lay a foundation on which to build a complete knowledge. The first term of machine-shop practice is devoted entirely to exercise-work, for many of the principles which are in theory the same as previously learned differ widely in application. This consists of turning between centers, chucking and face-plate work on engine-lathes and a limited use of shapes and milling si machines. The first exercise involves centering:, facing:, straight and taper turning, shouldering and right and left hand thread cutting. Each exercise illustrating a new principle is first made by the instructor before the class, thus saving much time by checking originality, which at this stage may be detrimental to the work. The common lathe-tools are forged by each student in the forging course which comes before machine-shop practice. Here forging includes the general use and care of blacksmith’s tools, tool dressing, welding and tempering. Each must learn to grind and properly care for his lathe-tools, this being essential to the production of good work. As the students’ ability greatly differ, the work is credited according to dimensions and general appearance of finished pieces. All dimensions must be accurate to one sixty-fourth of an inch, which though a large limit to machinists, requires great pains on the part of a novice. At the end of the first term either special or advanced machine-shop practice begins. The special course is the one most generally chosen and is meant for those only who expect to follow this line of work after leaving school. It is required that not less than three periods a day, of forty minutes each, 85 be devoted to this, while more may be taken if desired. In general, lines followed cover the same principles and applications as the advanced course, blit as more time may be devoted to the essential branches one becumes more proficient in each. The advanced course is designed for students preparing for a higher institution of learning. Such students are required to take two periods a day but may devote more time. In general the work consists f such exercises as making arbors, mandrels, bell-centers, scribers, center-punches, wrenches and other small pieces. At the end of the second term the work is to a certain extent optional, depending largely on the students ability, but must cover the common uses of lathes, shapers, milling machines, planers, grinders, turret-lathe, boring-mill, and drill-press. Probably the most frequent question of visitors is, “What becomes of the finished product? The finished product is not placed on the market, as is done by many technical schools, but is used by the school or by the student at the cost of raw material. All of the repair work of the different shops is done in the machine-shop, saving the expense of replacing broken parts by the manufacturer. When a student in this department through accident or otherwise breaks a tool or machine part, if possible, he is put to the work of duplicating it. The work includes anything from a A inch taper reamer, milled, tempered, and ground by the student, to an automobile engine and transmission. At present there are in process of construction twenty bench speed-lathes for work in the wood- 86 working shops. The lathe was designed by the students while in the drawing department, each working on a separate part. Later the patterns were built as a class problem while in the pattern-making department; then the smaller parts were cast in the school foundry. The bed being a different molding proposition, was turned over to an outside foundry. Resides lathes there are ten or twelve marine, motorcycle and stationary gas and steam engines, all of which were designed in the school. Among them arc the 5 H. P. stationary gas engines, air cooled, for use in the different laboratories. Numerous small tools, reamers, cutters, clamps, special tools and holders are added to the tool-room from class work. The shop is run on a business basis as nearly as possible. All work must be approved before leaving the school, a practice which insures that no unfinished piece will be taken as a sample of the work done. A record system is kept of each student s work stating the quantity and quality of work produced on each machine, time required for each piece, conduct, absence from class and general remarks. These records are on fde for future reference so that in case a student wishes to apply for position as a manual-training teacher or for a position in a shop his technical record is easily obtainable. To say that a two-years’ course in machine-shop practice makes a full-fledged machinist, would be in no way true. Any one who has had the experience realizes that it would require many years of experience to master all the ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ of the trade. WALTER S. GAINES. JR. 87 Pattern Making aN order to get a perfect reproduction of an object to be cast in metal a complete impression of the object must be produced by the aid of a pattern, core box, or sweeps, in some refractory material such as sand. This work is divided into two distinct trades,—Pattern Making and Moulding. Pattern Making as a distinct craft has existed but a few years, although patterns have been made for centuries. In earlier days this work was performed by the millwright or some other ingenious craftsman who used skillfully the tools that were to be had. Of late years Pattern Making has been accepted as a craft of such importance that it has become one of the foremost mechanical trades. It is one of the few mechanical trades where the introduction of machinery has not lessened the demand for the man with brains, skill and originality. To become a successful pattern maker, one must have a thorough knowledge of drawing and foundry practice, that he may be able: First, to sec an object from the drawing as it 88 exists in the designer’s mind; Second, to determine the best method of moulding, as it is this operation that determines the method of making the pattern. As the work done by the elementary and advance classes in Pattern Making has remained the same since last year's “Annual” was published this article will explain the work done by the specializing students. This work is not confined to any pre-arranged course, as a large part of the subjects are supplied by the needs of the school. Exercises that cover a large held in Pattern Making as well as in Foundry Work, are selected and worked out. This will be more fully appreciated by noting the variety and intricate nature of the work shown in the photograph on preceding page. While each student receives individual instruction on the work in hand, the work is also taken up among the class members and discussed as to the best, simplest, and most economical way of making and molding the pattern. The students also present some questions as to the making and molding of a pal tern seen outside of school. The work is so varied and each piece is so different from the other that new points are continually being brought out. The work consists of miscellaneous patterns and gears. The miscellaneous patterns are patterns for parts of lathes, gas engines, grinders, bench vises, stoves, etc. The gear patterns consist of gear blanks and cast gears of the spur, bevel, worm and helical type, all of which represent some son of mechanism on machines. Besides these the Machine Shop is continually sending up something to be made which shows that the Machine Shop relies a great deal on the Pattern Shop. The Foundry and Forge Shop require many articles and the Drawing Room is constantly designing new articles to he made. All this keeps the Pattern Shop busy to its full extent, much to the benefit of the student who is follow ing the Pattern Making Course. 90 Cabinet Making 1TH few exceptions every boy likes to make things and by the time he finishes his eighth grade manual training work, he has made some useful articles, and lias gained a fairly definite idea as to whether or not he wishes t continue the work in high school. In our two Technical High Schools boys who wish a technical training may gain knowledge that will help to make them skilled workmen in the trade they like best. In the cabinet making shop the beginner is first made acquainted with the different kinds of wood, their properties, where they are grown, and the method of sawing the logs. He then learns the names of all the tools and their parts, as well as their proper use and care. The first four or five problems involve the various joints which will be used in larger pieces of work and furniture. The end of the first term finds some boys working on the tabouret, while a few are still having their troubles with the towel roller and other pieces. In the second term the boys most advanced have plenty of time to make furniture that will be gladly received in the home. They select the designs and draw their plans with the help of the drawing teacher. Then each boy constructs the design worked out by himself, seeking the advice of the shop teacher whenever necessary. Some boys, of course, like cabinet making better than any other department of work and these are the ones who will specialize and learn all they can in this branch. For the benefit of these boys a class has been formed taking the last five periods every day, or three and three-quarters hours’ work. The boy beginning the special work first selects a design and then makes a working drawing dimensioning the main parts. He then selects the lumber, quarter-sawed white oak being used the most. However, cherry, walnut, and mahogany are used quite often, particularly when the piece is to be carved. The young cabinet maker then lays out his work and builds the piece himself, asking the instructor about anything that is 91 not quite clear to him. lie has his choice of any stain and finishes it up as desired, usually having a wax finish, although some varnish their furniture. The finished piece is then taken into the exhibition room. 'I'lie basis ol all instruction is that the student is allowed the initiative as much as possible. When a boy is allowed to construct his own things as he thinks fit, being instructed and assisted when necessary, rather than being forced to follow a given line, he is at the same time being educated in a way that will not cease when he finishes his course of study. LEROY CHAMBERLIN1. 02 The Art of Wood Carving feelings. The Egyptians did carving as early as 1800 P. C. Various other nationalities including Romans, Greeks, and Assyrians have done this work. Finally the art was carried into Europe and has been handed down to us by our ancestors. In our school Mr. Emil Wydman teaches this important art to those who are specializing in cabinet work. Those who want to acquire only a slight knowledge of the various crafts will not be greatly attracted by Wood Carving, as there is a great amount of hard labor connected with it. but to those who are willing to devote time and energy it will be of great educational value. ARVIM. is older than our writing. Pel ore writing was known people carved signs in the barks of trees and on stone. In this wav they expressed their thoughts and In the copy of the “Furniture Manufacturer and Artisan of December. 1911, .Mr Wernicke says: “There is nothing else in the entire category of human wants which lends itself more readily to interesting education than the furniture which we have in our homes, and with which we are more intimately associated for the greater part of our lives. Carving is much used for the decoration of furniture. Furniture which is to be decorated must be selected and have an appropriate design fitted for the work. The design for Wood Carving is the first thing to be considered. It must be properly fitted for the object and must have clean lines having graceful sweeps. The designs used conform to different periods. Carving in the Renaissance reflects character and beauty of design. The 93 people in this period desired elaborate carving. Styles worthy � f reproduction are those used in the time of Louis XIV, XV, XVI of which the latter, combining grace with simplicity, is perhaps the best, and is much used at the present time. Chippendale was the first Englishman to give title to a style. IIis chairs were characterized by the French carved legs, with the claw and ball effect. The Mission style is the only style that must have no carvings. It is characterized by its simplicity of surface, by strong construction and straight lines. To do fine carving the person who uses the tools must have perfect control of them so that he can use each of the various tools skillfully and carefully. An elaborate outfit of tools for wood carving is not necessary. Twelve tools arc sufficient for simple work. The knowledge of handling tools and knowledge of the grain of the wood can be acquired by actual experience and by watching a skillful worker. To do fine carving the tools must be ground by some one who has acquired the knowledge of Wood Carving. There are a great many varieties of woods used, but oak and mahogany are used the most. Other woods used are the black and Circassian walnut. The boys who are specializing in cabinet work have done a large amount of work in carving. Merrill Gray has made a large dining table with the legs decorated in claw effect. He has also made a Morris chair which has decorations of leaves carved on the legs. Stephen Tomsovick designed a set of dining 94 chairs decorated with the appropriate design. In the line of piano benches Joseph Smith made one of mahogany with the legs handsomely carved. He also made some glove boxes. Collins made a well proportioned library table of mahogany with the legs carved in the claw effect. There were a number of pedestals decorated with carving. John Younger has made one in the Roman style. A serving tea tray was handsomely carved by Du Hois. The decoration was a grape leaf design. Lamps were made also by the boys. They had good designs on the shades and bases. From the illustrations typical of the work done at the East Technical High School it can be seen that carving has been of practical as well as of educational value to the boys who have been willing to spend a little time and energy on the work. STEPHEN' X. TOM SO VICK. 05. Forging and Sheet Metal Work BORGING as given at Technical High School consists of shaping nr hammering heated iron into chisels, hooks, staples, chains, and many other useful articles. A part of the work consists of sheet metal work such as lamps, candlesticks, shades, and other ornamental pieces. At present two big six-sided lamps are under construction. These arc intended for lighting the way for the night school teachers and pupils into the main entrance of the building. The chief operations on these lamps are filing, drilling, riveting and bending. There are flowerlike ornaments near the top of the lamp which had to be filed out. These openings will let light through the glass which is a milky white color. At a drill press all the drilling of rivet holes is done. Once in a while a student will try to hurry a drill and will bend it in the shape of a letter T He generally gets the same letter on his card for the month. A greai many angle pieces are used in these lamps; these are bent out of long narrow strips of sheet iron over forms that have been made in the machine shop. After being bent and drilled they are riveted up and all that is needed for the finished product is the art glass which is held in place by little chips. Sometimes a student will hurry with his lampshade and will get the rivet holes in crooked or else forget them altogether. He will need to do much sweating and gnashing of teeth before the 1K5 fault is remedied. Tin work will look at a certain stage like a heterogeneous mass of junk, but it is marvellous how a few suggestions from the instructor, if followed, will change the mass into a thing of use and beauty. Every year some people become captivated with the work turned out at the Forge Shop. These people send in orders for different articles, such as andirons, firetools, lamps, and lampshades. They are willing to pay higher prices for these than for similar articles at the stores. To do this work the instructor picks out some pupil that is specializing or ahead of the class. The pupil gets the benefit of learning new welds and different ways of working iron, besides receiving the money for his work. Among the things made which are either on exhibition or on sale are andirons, carving sets, ornamental forks, firetools. and lamps. These can be seen at the exhibition room and at the houses of various pupils and friends of the school. One can kill time in the Forge Shop but even the beginner soon learns that he must work or fail. 07 W. M. DE FOREST. 12. Electrical Construction Course GREAT deal of interest lias been aroused about the new course in Electrical Construction. It is well worth the 1 interest. Electricity is a subject so practical and interesting that it is thought many pupils in this school will want to take this work before they graduate. Beginning pupils are first taught how to make a correct splice and why is is important that the splice should always be correct. Eight bell wiring problems follow close on each other, the latter of which requires a good bit of ingenuity to figure out and a good deal of patience to put up. Bell wiring may seem to some to be rather unimportant in the electrical field, but it is the mastering of these minor details that insures correctness and accuracy of work in more detailed experiments. In the next eight problems the City and National Underwriter's Codes are largely used. These eight deal strictly with light wiring and as the actual equipment necessary is used and power is switched onto the circuit, the pupils begin to grow interested and the work takes on a more pleasing look. All fixtures necessary are used in these problems and the pupil becomes accustomed to snap switches, porcelain recepticals, three way electroliers, and numerous other supplies. In this course the pupil secures the actual shop practice which is far more valuable than plain “book knowledge”, and besides this, forty-five minutes is spent each day in finding out the why and wherefore of the shop work. As, for example, the class under Mr. Hawkins studies and learns how a shunt motor should be connected up with switch, starting box, etc., then in the shop they set up this shunt motor, and work at it till it is right even though they do blow out numerous fuses while doing so. This working out of the lesson, impresses what has been told them far more strongly than the mere telling, as you all know. The majority of the pupils finish up there light wiring 98 problems in the first term and also a problem illustrating' the various types of condulctte with the reason and places for their use. A well equipped stock room supplies to the pupils all manner of tools and fixtures, by having a large slock of cleats, knobs, tubes, loom, etc., besides many sizes of wire. This shop contains, besides, many types of electrical machinery such as generators, motors, rheostats, transformers, etc., and also numerous measuring instruments of high grade quality. The second term takes up briefly the construction of these instruments and machines, the pupils taking them apart and drawing the various parts. For instance, a pupil takes his monkey wrench, pliers and screw driver in hand and tackles a big generator which he carefully takes apart, remembering how it goes together. Now he draws the armature, hearings, brush rocker and various other parts. When completed lie assembles it and starts for the next. This takes several weeks, after which the machines are connected up with various meters and tested out. There are four problems in connecting up the machines, some of which require careful figuring, as connecting a 220 volt motor on a 110 volt line with a starting box, light, etc. Switch board wiring is now taken up. As the actual machines for this type of work would be far too expensive to buy, dummies of them have been made out of wood which answer the purpose satisfactorily and the wiring goes on just the same. After being put up the instructor follows out the circuit and sees all is right. The problems themselves arc clearly explained and the uses of the various instruments used, as the syncroscope, neutral wire, circuit breaker, etc. In the engine room there are two Rothc generators, so one of the problems is to make the diagram of the switch board wirings of these two generators; also, two double phase generators are connected in parallel with the numerous instruments necessary for their operation, and for winking in one while the other is running. In the last third of the year transformer problems are worked out, wires are strung up with such signs on them as this. ‘‘DANGER 2300 VOLTS. and the interest quickens as it usually does when there is an element of danger present. The shop w contains two l 2 K. V. A. transformers, whose losses are determined and the various curves plotted, all of which is intensely interesting to a worker. The last part of this term is spent in repair, experimental work, and telephone wiring, the latter of which is in itself a huge subject. The various machinery around the school in a run down condition will be repaired, armatures wound, etc. Some time will he spent in experimental work, such as plotting the sine curve, which all 111 I'� students have heard so much about, and other experiments equally as interesting. This course is no place for shirkers, as they will find out if they start it. But to the worker this course is an open door and affords him rare opportunity to acquire a practical working knowledge of electricity. If there had been no demand or need of such a course it would not have been started, but the demand is strong for good practical electricians who know the “why and “wherefore of things. They learn them here. As each pupil has his own individual booth, his own drawer, tools, and wire, it makes the work more real for him and his work can be left up without interference from other classes. Mr. Dunn, now the school electrician, had charge of the shop for the first half-year, then his promotion occurred and Mr. Freeman wras given his place. Mr. Freeman has taken hold strongly and is very popular with the boys. GEORGE ELY RUSSELL. 100 —■ Be J -a- ? or+jj. Loslp Advanced Drawing I$iflHEJRE are l iree distinct kinds of drawing taught by Mr. I gnp Atwater in room 310: Structural Drawing; Architectural I Drawing: and Mechanical Drawing. Each is altogether different from the other. All junior and senior students deciding to specialize in drawing are first put to work on the different problems of projections, given in Mr. Mathewson’s book on “Mechanical Drawing”. The 42nd one is the last and hardest problem. One of the faculty remarked that it was a cruelty to dumb animals to give them that problem. After these problems are completed the student decides in which one of the three kinds of drawing he is going to specialize. At the present time there are only live boys specializing in 101 structural drafting, four of whom arc taking the course in Applied Mathematics, als«� taught by Mr. Atwater. This course is very beneficial to the structural student, for it touches partly on Structural Engineering. Structural Drawing consists of the plans of steel buildings, bridges, cranes, girders, etc. In this course two of the boys. Albert Ringle and he Roy Grant, have made a complete set of drawings, together with orders for material, for a Pin Connected Highway Bridge. The general or assembled drawing was made by Ringle, and both Ringle and Grant made the drawings and details of the different parts, together with the orders for material, the weights and dimensions of which all had to be calculated. These drawings were an elaboration of a drawing made by a prominent Bridge Company. The first architectural drawings are, those of the different orders of architecture. After these have been completed, the student is obliged to make sketches taken from the different parts of buildings that arc being built. From these sketches drawings are made, and the continuation of this work leads to house construction. Glen Taylor and Arthur Schlenker are the most advanced students in this kind of drawing. Taylor is making a perspective drawing of a house, after finishing its plans and elevations. Schlenker is making drawings of a Twenty-four-foot Saloon Outfit, having completed his house construction drawings. In addition to this the student in Architecture is expected to take Designing and Applied Art from Mr. Kennedy. Mechanical drawing requires more exactness than either of the other two drawings. The advanced work consists of the designing and drawing of machines and their different parts. Mechanical Drawing is the only drawing that has direct application to the shop work at Technical High School. 10 LEROY N. GRANT, 12. Foundry OUNDR is only a side issue of patternmaking and is only i-aLui taken with the elementary course. ' ■ • On going to the Foundry each boy is assigned a bench and, after the different methods of moulding the sand are explained to him, he starts out to mould his first pattern designed in the Drawing Room and made in the Pattern Shop. In about two weeks time the floor of the Foundry is filled with molds. The pupil is set to cleaning and daubing the cupola and to cleaning and lining the ladles. While one boy is making cores and another is mixing fire clay and sand, which is used in lining the ladles, others are set to work preparing for the casting ol the moulds which gives the experience of the running of a Foundry. The boys are told how to daub the furnace with fire clay, which is made by them, how to make the breast, to line the ladles, etc. They arc then told how to charge the furnace, putting in the coke and metal, but the instructor generally builds the bed. Then they put the sand on the bottom of the cupola and build the fire. After the fire is started Mr. Roethlisberger has the coke and iron put into the furnace. The furnace is allowed to get a good start and then the blast is put on, being allowed to run until the heat is over. When the furnace is ready to be tapped the boys get the ladles and assist in pouring the moulds. The castings are then turned over to the machine shop to be worked upon by the students there. 103 The Brass Furnace is constructed in the ground, the fire pot being constructed of lire brick. The lire is started in this and allowed to get a good start. The crucible containing the Brass is then lowered down into the furnace. The Brass takes from an hour to an hour and a half to melt. W hen ready it is poured into smaller moulds and the castings are later machined up. The iron furnace takes a charge of from five hundred to three hundred of iron and from three hundred to six hundred of coke. The Brass Furnace uses from twenty-five to fifty pounds of coke with ten to one hundred of brass. W hen the work does not receive the coveted “F from Mr. Roethlisberger. the hoys are determined to do the next piece better and work away with a will sure to win. not by getting discouraged, but by bracing up and doing their level best. H. BAKER, H. BOULTON. 104 E Y, - T. THE SCHGDL PRINT SHOP HIXCE the day of its invention printing has been forcing its way into the most remote corners of the earth. It has been the chief educator for centuries and as a means of communication has bound the world together, bringing the people of the different nations and creeds into closer contact and creating a friendlier feeling between them. The importance of printing as a factor in the education of today is fast coming to be realized by many of the American educators. Andrew S. Draper, now commissioner of education for the State of New York, said in a recent educational journal concerning printing in the public schools, “It is strange that so few schools in the state have considered printing as a desirable form of industrial arts work. It is an effective way of teaching-spelling, punctuation, and composition. It makes possible the application of border lines, lettering and spacing which is emphasized in drawing courses. It developcs neatness, orderly arrangement, taste and appreciation of color. For the enterprising boy of today a course in the high school print-shop becomes a practical means of fixing in his mind, knowledge acquired in his school course in English, mathematics, art. and economy. English is constantly applied in spelling, punctuation, sentence building, paragraphing, rhetoric and proofreading. Mathematics plays its part in figuring out the length of lines, number of ems to the line and page, converting points of one size of type to that of another, spacing, paging, stock estimating and cutting. Accuracy is brought most forcibly to the student’s mind in all departments of printing, as a mistake is often most expensive. While it is true that in the commercial 105 print-shop little attention is paid to the development of the artistic side of the subject, the high schn«� l print-shop lays great stress on this department of the work. The student is taught the fundamentals of hand lettering, which in turn leads t� � cover designing, book illustrating, and laying out of commercial forms of all kinds. Boys specializing in printing should take a course in designing in the art department, before entering the print-shop, as the base of nil high class printing is proper proportion as to weight, spacing, arrangement, and design. When this is acquired, composition, justification, page make-up, proper space margins, type arrangement, paging, etc. are performed in a much more satisfactory way. 0HE g)UNE EUGh ROMAN WITH UNCIAL INITIALS The knowledge gained in letter construction in kinds and uses of styles of letters, such as Old Roman. Modern Roman, the Gothic Series, Slope or Italic letters, the Uncial initial letters, is a training that leads to the correct usage of type forms and creates an artistic desire for arrangement and taste. The true jdfQgcerf Jkfioot OLD ENCU5H worth of economy is implanted in the student’s mind, for he is. taught a lesson from the fact that the school print-shop is run without cost, while being used as an instrument of instruction, for the commercial value of the finished product is greater than the cost of the instructor plus the cost of the material. School spirit is an important factor in the success of a school. Nothing will be of greater benefit in creating this spirit than a high school print-shop, as it is a means of communication between the different departments of the school and the students. The 106 school magazine written and edited by the students, with cover design, heading, illustrations, and cartoons worked out in the CLEVELAND, OHIO GOTHIC print-shop, is a great aid in creating interest and co-operation among the students. Also the printing of their own athletic tickets and dance programs besides the necessary office stationery helps toward this end. The Winter Session ITALIC Our school print-shop, in charge of Mr. J. A. Webster, prints practically all the blanks used in the school, the school catalog, the school magazine called “The Scarab”, and much printed matter for the grade and high schools of the city. HARRY A. MIER. 107 1w 1 TRADE SEWING CLASS I J1IIC Trade Sewing class has been a part of the Technical jy High School course for girls since last September. That it has been a success is proved by the large number of girls who have found the work interesting and profitable. The purpose of this new- course i to make the girls more efficient in speed work, to acquaint them with shop conditions, and to give them more practice in the principles of sewing which they have alreadv learned. The first work accomplished by the trade class was the re-making of a skirt. The re-making of old-fashioned articles of clothing into new style models is of great help to a girl, and is a special feature of this class. The real trade work consists in the making of garments for the teachers and persons outside of the school. 1 he different article made are kimonas. bathrobes, shirt-waists, lingerie waists, and dresses. The materials used are linen, madras, pongee silk, messaline silk, gingham, cotton voile, and silk poplin. Many garments are made over, as for instance, skirts are remodelled, new vokes are set in. or the style of the sleeves changed. The girls are paid for tin's work according to their individual ability. This adds to the interest in the work as well as providing an opportunity for the girls to earn something toward their expenses while at school. The time of the members of the trade class is divided equally, two periods being devoted to trade work, and two periods to the making of garments for the girls themselves. An important event in the history of the trade class was the Christmas Sale. This sale, called the “Apron Sale , was held carJv in December in the exhibit room. The room was made to appear as much like a store as possible with show-cases 108 and forms borrowed from the art and sewing rooms. I Hiring November and December the girls bad spent all of their time in making the articles for this sale. One of the most important items on sale was the aprons. 'These were of all kinds and sizes, from a large kitchen apron ol percale to a small lacy apron of flowered lawn. The practical ones were not forgotten among the dainty array, since many orders were received for the larger ones. In the show cases were silk bags of flower ribbon, opera bags of velvet, rose hat pins, bandeaux, and bows of velvet, soutache, and lace. The hat pins and bandeaux were from the millinery class, as were also some very bewitching theatre and breakfast caps. The breakfast caps matched the dressing-sacks which were made in tlie sewing class. Then there were dusting caps which became very popular and gained as many orders as the aprons. These dusting caps were made by one of the girls only, and she found it quite profitable. Pennants of three different sizes formed the back-ground for all these articles. There were also three 109 large pillows of brown felt decorated with designs of the scarab in gold. One was designed with a single scarab, one with the scarab used for the senior pin, and the third with the winged scarab. Although there were not many customers the second day, on account of the weather, the first day the sale was a decided success. The capital to start with was $15.21. The expenses of the sale were $137.72: $105.84 for the materials, and $31.88 for the girls’ work. The receipts from the sale were $170.76, and the amount now on hand is $48.25 which is to be used in buying a valence for the stage curtain in the auditorium. Having just finished twenty suits for the children of the Fresh Air School, the members of the trade class are at present devoting their time to the making of their slips and dresses for graduation. Looking forward to their ability to become expert dressmakers, several of the girls have made dresses for friends and members of their family quite independent of help in the class. They have used their time on Saturdays and holidays and were paid tor the work. All of the members of the class are seniors, and expect to graduate at the end of the year. Some of them intend to do sewing in the home, others will follow the dress making trade, and some will enter higher technical institutions for further training in domestic lines of work. no RUTH D REM AX. Domestic Science as a Means of Livelihood lie can live without friends, lie can live without books, Dut civilized man cannot live without cooks.’ —Owen Meredith. 1|X the last twenty-five years the rapid growth of the house-hold science movement has opened to women a number of occupations that are both remunerative and satisfying to the individual. The sciences and arts concerned in the home are both intricate and interesting—fit subjects for exact stud} and intelligent application. hat arc the opportunities of a woman after she has mastered these sciences and arts? First, there is the teaching field. Domestic Science work is now found in several grades of the lower schools, high schools, colleges and universities. In l' io the university appointment committee of the School of Household Arts of Teachers’ College at Columbia received requests for one hundred and twenty-one teachers of domestic science, but the committee could fill only forty-eight. But there are other fields than teaching for a woman trained in domestic science. flic value of applied science is steadily gaining recognition and such positions as dietitian of hospitals, asylums, schools and institutions, tea and luncheon management, catering, management of hotels and restaurants are making a stronger appeal to women. A dietitian must be well grounded in the principles of nutrition which covers not only individual study of sick and well, young and old, but the problems of institutional dietetics found in asylums, large schools and hospitals. Large hospitals of today recognize the value of a trained woman to plan and care ui tor I he diet o) all patients. This position is new hut is very promising. Cleveland recognizes the need of such a woman in one of her largest institutions. Miss Helen Moll is dietitian at Lakeside Hospital. The management i� f the tea rooms is another field. This field has l«mg been a favorite one for women hut in cities it is becoming overcrowded. A woman with a practical knowledge of housekeeping is apt to try her hand at a lunchroom, hut it needs much more to insure success. A training in domestic science is necessary to plan well balanced and nourishing menus and there is a demand for all the artistic training and instinct that she has acquired, to make the room and tables attractive. Matrons for hospitals and large institutions arc wanted and a training in domestic science usually insures such a position. Domestic science is a feminine occupation. It is a field in which the average woman can do better than men. The work in a home has always been done by women and they are naturally fitted for it. Tt is better to enter such a field than one in which women can not do as well as men. From a purely commercial standpoint alone, there is hardly a branch of the teaching profession today, which offers a field so free from competition for the well trained woman. And just here some one is bound to say: ’‘And is a girl to spend her time and her father’s money in getting a college degree and then become a dietitian or tea room manager?” Why not, it certainly requires an intellectual person having executive ability and great skill to be successful in any of the pursuits. Is it intellectual snobbery or short sighted utilitarianism which demands that a college degree be invested only in intellectual pursuits and not in those which require a co-ordination of hand and brain work? EM I LIE SCHULZ. Fireless and Paper Bag Cookery S Technical High is a school of progressive ideas and methods, both the fireless and paper bag method of cookery arc used in the Domestic Science department. These things are taken up mostly in the senior year. The fireless cooker has been found best for foods which require long cooking, as time, labor, and fuel are saved. Foods require no watching or stiring when the fireless is used, and therefore time and labor are saved. In the end there are no kettles to scrape, as the food neither burns or sticks. More of the food materials is saved by using a fireless cooker than by cooking directly over the flame. The fuel bill is lessened because the foods need only to be heated to the boiling point before placing them in the cooker. A satisfactory fireless cooker may be made at home, as the principle of the cooker is merely to conserve the heat. This may be done by lining a box with any non-heat conducting material such as crumpled paper, hay, straw, shavings, etc., leaving space enough in which to fit the kettles snugly. Some of the new cookers are supplied with soapstone plates, which when heated to a high temperature, make baking and roasting very easy and successful. The fireless cooker was used very successfully at the banquet given by the senior girls. The peas, which were to be used for the soup, were put in the cooker the night before, and when taken out in the morning were thoroughly cooked. The meat was put in the cooker, in the morning, and after school it was perfectly tender, well done, and steaming hot. Although some people consider paper bag cookery merely a fad, for some foods, it has proved to be excellent. For any green vegetable, such as spinach, celery, etc., that contains a great deal of water, it is ideal. Green vegetables are eaten mostly for the mineral matter which they contain. A great mistake is often made by adding too much water to these vegetables. 113 In this way much of the mineral matter and flavor is lost, since considerable water must be drained away after cooking, but by cooking them in a bag no water need be added nor drained away. For dry foods that require long cooking and a great deal of moisture, the paper bag is not so desirable. Foods cook faster in a bag. the heat and steam being condensed, and further they do not lose weight, and retain a much better flavor. The .conked food is more juicy and tender, and for this reason meats or fish cooked in a bag are delicious. Tt has been found that not so much seasoning is needed as it penetrates a food more readily when prepared in a bag. Another advantage is that all cooking odors are eliminated from the kitchen. To illustrate how successfully paper bags might be used, the editorial department of the Good Housekeeping Magazine gave a paper bag banquet at Dclmonico’s in New York. Even-one of the nine courses was cooked in paper bags, even down to the coffee. Everything was served in the bag in which it had been prepared, the guests breaking their bags open and eating and drinking from them. The banquet was said to have been a perfect success. iu ELSIE G. ALTHANS. Home Nursing gKlMERE is scarcely a time in any housewife’s experience Wi when she may not be called on to care for some sick member of the family, consequently a consideration of the care for the sick should have a place in the well rounded education of every woman. The course given in the Technical High School is not designed for the technical training of nurses but aims to deal with the condition of the sick that every woman should know. Tt embraces the care f the sickroom, the care of the patient, the care of young children, the diet of children and of the sick. In the choice of the sick room the questions of ventilation, sunlight and quietness are considered. The keynote of a sickroom is cheerfullness and the necessities are plenty of fresh air and cleanliness. The removal of unnecessary furniture from the room is suggested, especially fancy carved furniture in as much as it forms a lodging for germs. The atmosphere of the room should be pleasing and quieting. A table filled with bottles and spoons is jarring to the patient, and consequently should be kept out of sight. Sunlight is one of the necessities of a sickroom. Although the windows may have to be darkened during part of the illness, sunlight, as it aids both mentally and physically, is of value to the patient as soon as he becomes convalescent. In the eagerness for sunlight, the nurse must be careful that the direct light from the window does not fall on the patient’s eyes. The nurse must be sympathetic, trying to feel the needs of the patient and anticipate his wants. She must also be observing and notice the change of symptoms and effect of foods, medicine and treatment and in that way she may be an aid to the physician. In order that the girls may more fully understand the instructions, practical demonstrations arc given in class, one of the girls acting as patient. While the patient was in bed, the girls changed the bedding in such a way that the patient was as 115 little disturbed as possible. The personal care of the patient was given, such as care of the mouth and hair. Since bathing is so essential to well and sick, the different methods of giving baths are treated at some length, and to illustrate the bath, a little girl was brought to class and given a bath as though she were a helpless patient. After studying the general care of the patient, the subject of contagious and infectious diseases follows. The girls were taught how such diseases may he prevented from spreading by keeping the patient isolated from the rest of the family and keeping the dishes used by the patient separate from those used by the family, and by boiling them in a three per cent, solution of sodium bicarbonate. That the nurse may lessen her own risk of catching the disease after caring for the patient, the girls are instructed in some preventative methods such as washing the hands in a bichloride solution 1-100 before leaving the room. Another phase of home nursing is the treatment in case of an accident—what to do in a serious accident to relieve pain until the arrival of the doctor. Special care is given to the cooking and serving of the food for the sick. During the winter suggestions for care of persons suffering from cold or grippe are given, foods suitable for persons suffering from these diseases are cooked. For dvspeptives foods predijested with peptonized powder are prepared, for diabetes, foods containing little or no starch such as breads made from glutin flour are made. The preparing of milk and gruels and the sterilization of babies’ bottles is also taken up. The aesthetic side of cooking is especially dwelt on in the care of the sick. A dainty tray may furnish a stimulus for a feeble appetite. In short, suggestions are given that will enable a woman in the home most intelligently and skillfully to care for a patient and at the same time alleviate his suffering and make conditions as cheerful as possible. 116 EV ELYN RE 1 LENDER.

The hat will be more costly because of additional time and labor expended, but the result is more apt to be satisfactory.’’ Soph.—“Where do you get your ideas for trimming your hats?” 117 Juii.—“W ell, we have reproductions of famous paintings, such as the Gainsborough hat, and Romney's picture of Mrs. Dunimond Smith, which of course we can't copy, but which suggests color schemes, decoration, and shape. Then we have modern colored prints, and the usual fashion sheets. These are merely suggestive, for we build the hat to suit the face and general personality of the wearer. We get effective trimming by placing the bow or whatever else it may be upon the different parts of the brim and crown, experimenting until the result is satisfactory. Soph.—“Can you buy your material at the school? Jun.—“Oh no! Every girl does her own buying, and one of the advantages of the course is that the girl is trained to recognize and choose appropriate articles. Soph.—“Do you always use new materials for every hat? Jun.—“Certainly not! Its part of our course to renovate old materials, such as old feathers, velvets, flowers, and ribbons. Soph.—“Do you spend a whole term in making hats for yourself?” Jun.—“(� h dear no! Resides making our own hats, we make hats for other people. Each girl tries to get as many orders as possible. You see we get fifty cents for every eight periods of work we do for outsiders. Now isn't that nice?” Soph.—“W ell I should say so. Do you know I think I’ll take trade millinery myself. Jun.—“Oh, 1 know you’ll like it ever so much.” Jun.—“Oh. by the way, won’t you give me an order for your new spring hat? Soph.—“Well if this is a fair sample of the work you do T certainly will. Jun.—“Oh thank you ever so much. The first time you get a chance, stop in at room 306, and I’ll take the measure for your head-size, and show you some of the styles. Oh, here we are now. My, but that was a short ride. 118 FLORENCE HASERODT. Our Coach “Watch Tech!” This has been the watchword among Cleveland high school coaches since the advent of .Mr. Bell into high school circles at the head of Tech teams. Coming here at the beginning of the football season practically unknown, Mr. Bell has set a new standard of athletics for Tech High, and has virtually put us on the map in the athletic world. Mr. Bell came to us in the fall to take charge of a team that had all the essentials of a good one and lacking only in spirit. Mr. Bell supplied the spirit and incidentally surprised everyone with our showing. At the end of the season the team presented Mr. Bell with a beautiful silver loving cup in appreciation of his work and as a token of their esteem for him. Mr. Bell’s success with the basket ball team was even more marked. Starting out with a team whose members had never played together, and with only one regular from last year’s team, Mr. Bell transformed them into champions by injecting into them his own indomitable spirit and will. Not satisfied with only turning out champion teams, Mr. Bell has set a new standard in fair play and sportsmanlike conduct both on and oil the field. He has advocated these principles before the Cleveland amateur base ball and football conferences by frequent talks this winter. Here’s to you, Mr. Bell, and we know that with you at the helm, Tech athletics will always be steered on to a place of honor. J. C. M. no MECH may have many championship teams in the future, but we can never feci prouder of any team representing the school than our 1912 basket-ball team which won our first championship. Starting out the season with only one regular from last year's team, and facing the most difficult schedule that had ever been attempted, we were returned victors in every senate game in spite of the fact that five of our games were played on our opponents’ floors. We started the season by defeating Lincoln High, last year's champions, on their own floor in easy fashion. Our next opponents were the much advertised East team who were picked to win the senate championship. East proved just as easy as Lincoln and our fellows showed up in splendid style. Glenville and West were next defeated in order, the West game being our first home game. The following Friday came the crucial test of the season in the game with Commerce. Commerce had gone through the season without a defeat and the consensus of opinion was. that this game would decide the championship. The game was played before a crowd that taxed the gym. and proved to be the best game of the season. We were returned victors only after four minutes of overtime play. Out next game was with Central and a close game was looked for. The result was never in 120 doubt however, and the team showed true championship form. We ended the season in a blaze of glory by defeating South on the latter's floor in easy manner. Much of the credit for the teams success belongs to ('apt. Steffen who was chosen for the mythical all scholastic team and Mr. Bell, our coach, who has coached them through such a successful season. The players receiving letters are as follows: Capt. Harry Steffen. Henry Knapp, George Kohl, Ellsworth Wills, Albert Conaghan, Cleo Clogg and Coach Bell. A word should be said about the second team. They have made almost as good a record as the varsity, losing only one game and winning the second team championship. Several of the second team players will make strong bids fur the varsity next year. Mr. Brechner coached the second team and their fine showing reflected much credit upon him. The members of the second team were Grover, Capt.; Lorienzo. Perris, Hassc. Gaines, and Reilly. J. C. M.

The score was 12-6. After a week of hard practice in which Mr. Bell corrected many of the defects he saw in the West game. Tech again took an opponent into camp. This time Lincoln was the victim. The game was hard fought and both teams played well, the score being 8-2. Fisher scored the touchdown, while the other three points came from a goal from placement. Lincoln downed Clogg behind the line for a safety and thereby garnered their two points. South High came next and Tech came out with a 16 0 scalp as a trophy. The game was slow and one sided and the score hardly shows the superiority of Tech's play. After another week of hard practice and much disappointment due to Fisher’s ineligibility. Tech entered into the hardest game of her career—that with Central. Chances of a victory looked slim for Tech and the newspapers were unanimous in their choice of Central as the victor. The game was marked by a dash and sparkle never seen in a Tech team before. Central had no chance to score until the last live minutes when McConnell intercepted a forward pass with a clear field ahead, only to drop 128 the ball when a touchdown seemed inevitable. On the other hand Tech scored five points as a result of hard and steady plugging. Clogg found weak spots in Central’s line and sent Church and Younger tearing through for substantial gains. Tech lost the ball on the ten yard line, but a series of fumbles by the Central backs, resulted in Matt Garvey, since known as “touchdown Garvey”, gathering in the sacred pigskin and laying it gently on the ground behind the line. This was the last of the scoring and Tech held the upper hand throughout the remainder of the game, showing that physical condition counts as much in football as knowledge of the game. On as fine a football day as ever was seen Tech and East met to decide the Senate championship of the city. The game opened with East as the aggressor, but the ball was within East’s ten yard line three times in the first quarter. Several chances for drop kicks were missed by wide margins arid it could be clearly seen that Tech was poorly balanced. They looked overpowering at times when the team worked in unison and then again they played raggedly. East soon found Tech could hold their fast backfield, but when the chances for scoring came, East knew better how to take them. The ball was kept zig-zagging for three quarters, and then by poor judgment in choice of plays Tech lost the ball and East soon had three points and a championship tucked under her arm. Tech, while playing a hard game, didn’t have the “snap” and “pep” that were so evident in the Central game and were forced to take the short end of a 3-0 score. Following this came the Rayen game at Youngstown which Tech won handily by the score of 19-6 and the Shaw game in which we were defeated 5-0. This was a fiercely played game and was played in a strong wind which hampered the kickers on both sides. The team wound up the season by beating Glenvillc 22-0 in an easy game in which Kohl and Clogg starred. The season was by far our best yet and every man on the team from Capt. Zehner to “Pickles” Krause deserves the cheers which he received from the best crowd of “rooters” ever seen at the school. EVERETT H(JNKIN. 124 A dvertisement There was a fellow in our school. And he was wondrous wise: He jumped into a football suit. And blacked a lot of eyes. As vvc go to press wc are in receipt of this little poem accompanied by this letter. Milwaukee. May 1. “Mv dear Mr. Editor: I am sending you a little poem which you may want to use for the June Hug and I enclose a dollar to defray all expenses. I do not think I received sufficient notoriety or attention during my more or less hurried course in school. I want it known that there has been at least one man at Tech who could play football as well as bluff through a recitation. Therefore I am denying myself four boxes of Pall Malls in order to bring this fact to the attention of the world. In case any more sentimental or heart touching verse is desired my friend Mr. Brice Lafferty will be able to furnish it.

But this picture seemed to be the only evidence of its existence. No one, not even the team itself, remembers much about its work, except that there was a team and that they played ball. The Scarab, that worthy chronicle of school events, records none of their efforts. The Art department, however, thinking that all our teams keep records of the work done, have made a heading that is worthy of reproduction. But in order that we might print the heading, we must have some information about the schedule of 1911. After much effort a record of scores and of games played was produced, thanks to Mr. Lawson’s memory, and this record we print below. Schedule 1911 u. s. 1 . . . East 3 . . . Lincoln 3 . . . . . .

Mr. Jloornstra with Charles Sommer as president, has made a very creditable showing in 1912 as actors and scene painters. “The Cricket on the Hearth was duly immortalized by a one night stand in the auditorium and the performance was so successful as to bear repetition before the assembled school. Valeria Hampel, Charles Krumphansel and Charles Sommer made very favorable impressions and Mr. Hoornstra deserves much praise for his handling of the play. Besieged by numerous setbacks in the early stages of the game he finally gave us a very good production, all of the actors being students here, except Ruth Bowen, who very faithfully made the trip from West Tech to attend rehearsals. Gertrude Newkirk also starred in the comic role, as she is expected to do on Class Night. Nobody was sorry they came, altho several were tempted to sneak out to get a drink during the dinner scene. This merely goes to show the quality of the acting and actors. 131 E. N. 11. from V. H. m OFFICERS Alfred C. Henderson . • - • President Edward Kenealy ....

Don't ask when it was founded. It is not that old! The trouble was that The Forum got the Spring Fever and died in infancy. The disease spread to The Polytechnic Society and only through the strenuous efforts of the strongest members did the society survive. In fact one of the graduate members thought it under the sod. That is his reason for delaying the progress of the Society nearly a whole term by withholding its minute book and bank account. This barrier did not prevent the annual election of officers, which is held in October, although it was a damper on business procedure. For who can do business without capital? But few members were left in the society this fall so there was plenty to do in replenishing the ranks. There are now about twenty members. The object of the Society is the advancement of technical knowledge among .its members, by frequent visits to the industries � f Cleveland. Thus the members not only learn in school how to make different things but have a chance to see the same things made on a large and practical scale in the great factories of The Sixth City. George Russell illustrated the desire of most or our guides to explain the inside workings of these industries, in his article, “The White Automobile Factory”, published in the Society number of the Scarab where he tells of asking the guide if the gasoline engines are started on batteries and the reply was, “Xo, they are cranked . Xo society can be called a society, no matter how much it does for its members unless it has a real social side. For that reason The Polytechnic had to keep up and if possible, surpass its former reputation for dances. This year it held its second annual dance at the Olive Academy, on the eve of February 2, 1912. Some dance! Ask those who were there. What? Who were there? Everybody! 184 The other social event of the year was a banquet. What society doesn't have a banquet? It is always “a toss up among the boys, which it shall be, banquet or dance? The Society has but one regret this year which is that its former faculty member and greatest helper, Mr. C. Knirk, cannot be with them on account of his transfer to West Tech. 11 is place is filled though by a very able instructor, Mr. Durstinc, whom all the boys like. The membership of the Society is limited to Juniors and Seniors. The graduating members of the Society leave their best wishes to the rest and hope they may prosper in the future. 135 m OFFICERS President........................Sylvia Friend Secretaty...............Ethelyn Wilder Treasurer...............Elsie A It liens OTHER MEMBERS Lydia Holley Hilda Stiglitz Helen Clark Irene Scliolt Gertrude Matthias Gertrude Newkirk Ruth Spurney Flossie Williamson Florence Gernhardt Lillian Salter Jeanette Salter Mabel Harmon Esther Howden Marguerite Huntley Alice Brewer FACULTY MEMBER Miss Ethel Parmenter HIS fluffy looking crowd is the oldest society in the school. No slam on the ages of the members you understand. Miss Parmenter is the oldest member, that is. we suppose she is. The society is used to display talent, ability, and nervousness, in public and private speaking, and to help stretch the literary imaginations of the feminine element. They hold meetings in 409 and once, oh boys, remember that open meeting after school. 137 The name of the society is an exile from the Latin meaning 'I'lie Boy's Friends. Pal—a friend: lad—a hoy; and inm—same here. The ladies wear very queer looking clothes when they pass initiations and some of them adopt the style as permanent. While the social side of the society is not adaptable l the male sex the members never seem to he very badly embarrassed in their skirmishes in the corridors. The society never gets very much publicity except on the bulletin board, but it does no harm n«� twithstanding. As a whole it is pretty popular with the boys and most of them will admit that its batting average is around 300. Of course being a girls club it cannot be expected to be perfect but we predict a very successful future and many more pictures in the Tunc Bug. L U NATTCK. 1912. 138 OFFICERS President . .

At this meeting the officers were elected and a committee appointed to draft a constitution. The purpose of the Society is, primarily, to help all those who wish to get in practice in public speaking and, secondarily, to furnish material for the interscholastic debates. However the purpose is not altogehter serious. The members plan to get together frequently and have a “feed and a good time—especially at the initiations. As the list of names shows, the Society has had a healthy growth. In fact it hopes to he the foremost society of the school. Because many of the old members will graduate in May the Society extends a hearty .welcome to all junior and senior boys who wish to join the Society for the purpose of benefitting themselves. C. H.

A complete wireless station is to be erected at the school which will be, we hope, the most complete and the best operating station, outside of the commercial and navy stations, within a circumference of many hundred miles. “Tech Wireless Club” hopes to establish a record both in transmitting and in receiving, among 142 the non commercial stations. The club expects to be able to transmit from one to two luimlrcd miles ancl under certain conditions up to two thousand miles. Membership in Tech ireless Club is limited to students of East Technical High School who have completed ill B Physics, and have taken the electrical construction course or its equivalent in outside electrical work. A pupil wishing to join the club may give, to any officer of the club, his name and qualifications. 11 is application will he voted upon at the next regular meeting. Construction of the outfit is now under way and will he finished this spring. The most difficult part is the building of a suitable aerial. EDW. V.

At the annual vaudeville this year it fulfilled our highest expectations. We sat there and hoped that there were representatives of every other high school in the city in the audience. We wanted them to see what a real orchestra sounds like. The boys practice after school,—at least the notice is posted on the bulletin and their playing shows that there is lots of hard work back of it. We are apt to think when that orchestra gets busy that Mr. Yickerman has missed his calling and that he should be leading a brass band instead of teaching in a machine shop.

Some will say that it is all ‘‘hot air”. Is it not honor enough to have the privilege of making the school paper? Yes, indeed, but how many of you. sitting there in a back seat, kicking because the Scarab costs a dime, or grumbling because your English teacher asks you to write a theme for class tomorrow, would like to have that honor? Just think of the work you would have to do. W rite ten themes and essays to your present one. Do you know that the contributions from the school are so numerous that the editors do nearly all the writing. The articles from the school are written mostly at the command of an English teacher. Leaving the. editors and their troubles, how does the magazine itself compare with others of its class? It is far superior. Most of you see the papers printed by the other high schools in Cleveland. Compare it with them. They exist through their advertising alone while our paper is supported entirely by its sale. Tech certainly does support the paper financially. But the students cannot help buying it. The magazine itself compels them. The maximum sale of any number last year was 650 copies while this year, there were sold 1050 copies of the faculty number. In the first four issues of the present year there were published more illustrations than in all the previous issues together. This year the first edition was gotten out two weeks earlier than that of the year before. The facts speak for themselves. The last Scarab was superior to the previous one, the present, superior to the last. What kind of Scarabs will we have in the near future? We do not need to print the motto “Watch Us Grow” like a struggling store. It grows so fast that “he who runs” can see it. 165 PERRY HIMES. 166 June Bug 1912 E. N.

Irene' mama only sighed, And looked at Irene dignified. Little Gertie, all in silk, Put some strychnine in the milk: When the family stiffened up, Gertrude used another cup. Little Howard, quite uncertain. Played with matches by the curtain. When the house was gone he said, “I wonder if the folks are dead.” Simple Sophie and her brother, Operated on their mother.

Is an undertaker’s business dead? 180 A Suggested Reform Miss Matchett:—“We ought to reform the way of issuing these permits; signing my name is time wasted. Mr. Bell:—“Why. that doesn’t take long. Miss Matchett:—“Oh. well, if I had a short name like yours I wouldn’t care.” H IH Mr. Burroughs before his class:—“The difference that I understand between theory and hypothesis is that a fact believed to be true but has never been proven true is just supposed to be true but nobody has ever taken the time to prove it so it is taken as a fact. Ih pothesis is when a theory is proven to be so. The theory has been given out and it is then attacked from all sides to see whether it can he proven so or not. If it is proven to he true, this form is called Hypothesis.” n—u 1 he genius with long hair, two buttons off his coat and a roll underneath his arm. entered the music store and asked for an “E string for his violin.

Mr. Hawkins explaining the meaning of ‘pipes’ t� a pupil, Xi� v George, answer this for me. What runs from under v«� ur sink in the basement and likewise all over the house?” George: “G ckr •aches”. n —ii Baby Ruth was going on a journey and Lily, her very colored nurse, was kneeling before her polishing her tiny shoes. ‘“I want to do ’em real good, so as they'll stay black while you’re away.” Ruth watched her seriously a moment then remarked pleasantly, “1 tell you, Lily. God shoe-polished you real good before vou went away, didn’t He?” n —M Come, Howard,” said his mother, “don’t be so selfish, let your little brother play with your marbles awhile.” “But protested Howard, “he means to keep them always.” “Oh, I guess not.” “I guess yes! ’cause he’s swallowed two o’ them already.” n They were discussing private theatricals, and Gertrude remarked that she never enjoyed taking part in such entertainments. “I always think I am making such a fool of myself,” she concluded. “Oh, every one thinks that,” he responded. 182 When Mr. Jlawkin’s little girl was quite small her father once telephoned from Chicago and asked Mrs. Hawkins to bring the child l• the ’phone, lifting the little one up to the instrument, she watched the little girl's expression change from bewilderment to wonder and then to fear. It was surely her father’s voice. After examining the tiny opening in the receiver the little girl burst into tears. “()h, mamma!'’ she sobbed. “How can we ever get Papa out of that little hole?” Dame Nature works in funny ways; she strips a fellow’s head, And puts the hair that should be there upon his chin instead. ii n Lillian, seeing the creases in the baby's feet exclaimed, “Oh, des see! She’s dot frowns all over on her feet.” ii i Beatrice on receiving a farewell kiss from her uncle who smoked, quickly rubbed her hand across her face. “Oh, all right for you, Bee, if you rub my kisses off.” ‘Oh! I was just rubbin’ it in.” Nicht Wahr ? The faculty jumps on us all the day long. They try mighty hard to deceive us: Somebody lias said, they're all right when they're dead. But we're from Missouri, believe us. 18:3 Lou Natick. 1912. Y«� u can push a fountain pen, but a pencil must be led ii—-H An Englishman said to an American b«� astingly, “When 1 was mi a ship on the Red Sea, we noticed a cloud rapidly approaching us; in a few seconds a plague of locusts was upon us and if you will believe it, every vestige of our sails disappeared.’ H’m! If that isn't queer. returned the American, “do you know, the very next day I was in Kansas, and I saw that same cloud of locusts coming toward us, and every last one of them had on a little pair of canvas trousers. A teacher asked her class to draw a picture of what they wished to be when they grew up. All went diligently to work except one little girl, who only chewed her pencil. “Don't you know what you want to be when you grow up, Evelyn? asked the teacher. “Yes, I know, she replied, “but I don’t know how to draw it. I want to be married. ii —ii Upon entering the stationery store the genial old proprietor asked, “Ancl, when does the wedding take place, Miss Matchett? “The wedding! she exclaimed, “why you don't think—’’ “Ah, Miss Matchett! he smiled, “when a young lady buys a hundred sheets of paper and only twenty-five envelopes, I know there is something in the wind. 1S4 Two phones in Tech office. iMiss Wunclerle: (calling Mr. Thalman), “your wife wants to speak to you on the phone.” Mr. Thalman: “Which one?” Miss Wunderle: “I did not know that you had two.” ii ii If Ivanhoecl the Bonny brae, And Athelstaned his tunic new, If Friar Tucked his food away.

In English I Pi. Giess: “Clifford and Ilebzibah went joy-riding.” n —ii Mr. Durstine: “Buttons originated when the Czar of Russia put them on his soldiers’ sleeves to keep them from wiping their noses with their sleeves.” Rose: “What was the origin of the dirty shirt? 185 Miss Jackson (in history): “W'liat is a party? Esther (thinking of the senior party): A party is where you are all dressed up in votir white dress and slippers and feel s cold. Mr. Durstinc while discussing the origin of white collars, said: “This is a relic of olden times. Rose: “It looks like it. -II Helen translating German: He sang his first love song under the fence. 186 resnmen.

Karon II•� «trustr:i and liis frau were walking along 55lh St. the other day. They walked a few blocks in silence. It was a bitterly cold day and the Karon had his hands deep in his overcoat pockets, finally his better half broke the silence with, “Vy don’t you talk to me. liebchen?” “Vat you tink? Do you vish me to freeze my hands offr was his answer. Miss Martin (sternly): “There must be absolutely no talking in the library, but if you must whisper to your neighbor, it must be so low that your nearest neighbor cannot hear you.’’ 180 Teacher: Irene, is that a kitty you have drawn? Blit where is her tail?” Irene S.: “I haven’t got her out of the ink bottle yet.” ‘‘Now, Eddie, what do you intend to do when you become a man?” questioned Aunt Ellen looking' at her small nephew. “I'm going to be a soldier,” replied Edward, “'cause then I can fight whenever I want to without being spanked for it. Miss Walz: “Your construction is rather lumpy.” m Miss Walz, translating German said: My true love, could you have not returned sooner?” Whitehead, half asleep: Naw.” Miss Collins: Why Ruth, what arc v � u doing.' Studying geography in the sewing' class?” Ruth: I can’t locate my tucks.” Miss Collins: Well, I've heard of locating many things by geography, but never tucks. ii H Mr. Davis (telling about the hooting of owls) I remember when I used to come home at night, when it was dark. It was late, about -----” Flat Too! Hoo! n—ii Teacher: What is it. Tommie, that Shakespeare tells us ‘becomes the throned monarch better than his crown’?” Tommie: Hair.” ii — ii Weiss: How is it that you always get cold feet when you are with the girls?” Kenealy: ‘‘Because I always blush, and hot air rises.” n—ii Teacher: Who was Pocahontas?” Pupil: Pocahontas was a squash. 191 .chner: “I lent Clogg a dollar, last fall. Bell: “Did you get it back? ' Zeliner: “No, I got a quarter-back. Ed. Horr: The whigs embraced the Republicans.” Doxsey: The Republicans must have been suffragettes. H' ii a Miss Matched: “What is the heated substance sent out by volcano called? Eniilie: (confidently) Saliva. Flat to Miss Ward: Mr. Kennedy sent me for some vanilla paper. Substitute (using chart) “The next, Rose Howard.

Capron: I don’t walk on any, I swim.” ii- —ii “Miss Martin, would you mind changing this for me. It’s the second edition and I haven’t read the first.’ H——ii The Baron: Conjugate the plura of ‘einc Mutter . Sarah: There is no plural. Baron: “Do you mean to say you only have one mother' n— n Miss Codings: What is the frieze of a house? Scholar: The refrigerator, of course. the pretty heading, it not lovely. Is it t tough that we have no write-up? It is indeed. Maybe you can get a rebate on account of having no write-up. But thin k, children, how terrible it would be to be without this pretty heading. We should feel terrible. This heading could be replaced though by Schultz’s picture. Don’t ask why. No, he is not a skater, he is a skate. 194 yJjJ|ERK is another pretty 8|||i heading. Tt shows Clarence and Creighton working on their speeches. Do they look happy? No, the editor will tell von a secret. The young-man on the left had two pieces of mince pic, and the other gent is writing Mr. Frost a note. Why? He wants to go to his grandmother's funeral. No dear, that does not mean a political meeting. I admit the other two pictures are a trifle misleading. 195 II, what have we here? Is it a picture of Atlas holding up the world ? Xo. The slightly clad persons at the sides are playing basket ball and I suppose the three little pictures show bob Snyder beating rugs. Those big letters spell “track”. That means that hob is on the track of the other boys. Naughty Bob, he should be kept off the track. Still it would be better to have Bob killed than Howie as Ilowie will die anyways when Burroughs gets him. 19fi dear, how pretty! h i s picture shows tosie and Ed. Horr serenading J i m McCaslin's girl. See, they are playing their new forty horsepower underslung mandolins, and beating time with their voices. Notice the expression on the girl's face. Rather an absent, faraway look, is it not? Never mind, that is the way all the rest of Jimmie's girls look. 1 shouldn't think any girl would go to the window to sec Howard and Ed in picture hats and short trousers anyhow. 197 S is a moving pic-re of the library, r. Dlaisdell is reading the Scarab ceremony to the Hawkins family and Miss Collings. Note the interested expressions. Miss Collings is smiling but she is behind that round post at the right so you cannot see her. If you wait long enough maybe Mr. P . will stop reading and lay down the book. Vivian Norris evidently h ad his o w n boudoir in mind when he drew the bookshelves.

Well to support you for instance, or to remind you that you arc living. The June Bug knows it is living but still it needs a wife for support. It needs a thousand wives. The food of the June Bug is advertising, that funny little grub that lives on popularity and publicity. You cannot feed the June Bug ads. but if you patronize our advertisers you are feeding the grub on which the June Bug lives. Of course if you would rather go to the Bug's funeral than our advertisers that is your look-out. But take it from us, you are missing something. What's that? You say you patronize them now? Hurrah! keep it up. But our advertiser's clerk probably doesn't know you from Caesar, so for the love of Mike say ”1 saw your ad. in the Tech June Bug.'' □- □ ■g □--------------------------------— JOHN W.

In other words, with PEERLESS Drawn Wire Mazda lamps you can have as much light as at present, yet materially reduce your lighting bills.
