' 1 P 4 i 1. ff ff ,- mn. 14,0-M4 VAN WEAVER-College Preparatory-Credits 40 1-5-It is safe to , say that Van holds the record for credits in E. H. S. In fact, five subjects and music became a tirmly fixed habit with him at the be- ginning of his Sophomore year, only to be broken during the last semester of his Senior year on account of his arduous duties as Editor-in-Chief of The Pennant. Van's activity on The Pennant began in the spring of 1914, when he was made Assistant Business Manager, and through his per- severance and strict attention to business won the admiration of the staff and his classmates. During 1914 and 1915 he has been Editor-in-Chief, and some idea of his good judgment and etiiciency may be gained from the fact that the Class President made him Chairman of the Senior Pennant Committee, with power to choose his own committee.

i Clflffiisfa The Murder of Edwin Entanow By Kieth Seele, june, '16. I.

'This is Hotel Leland. Edwin Entanow has just been murdered at the reception. You know he is- All right, I broke in, I'll be there at once. See that nothing is movecff' I at once taxied to the hotel. eager to take up this case. In all my years of detective work, my most interesting cases had been those in which the vicitims had been society people-those who, apparently, had no enemies. Thousands of dollars must have been expended for the decora- tions of the beautiful ballroom of the hotel. The contrasting color scheme of white and gold was effectively brought out by the skillful arrangement of thousands of golden orchids and pure white lilies. These Howers entirely covered the vaulted ceiling of the room and the immense chandeliers and exquisite pieces of alabaster statuary were artistically arranged along the sides of the room-alabaster so pure as to be almost transparent. As I -entered the great room, I noticed that there were two en- trancesf-the grand marble one. in which I was now standing, and another smaller one-also of marble-at the other end. .VX little man in gray stepped up to me. I called you,' he said. Th-en he told me the story of the tragedy. Twenty
