Cfhrouqh The Heats
This year is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Ellis School
For Girls. ln the heginning the school consisted of one main huilding, in which
classes were conducted, and a pavilion, Where assemblies and gym classes were
held in good weather. On cold or rainy days the narrow front hall and present
reception room served as auditorium and gymnasium. Before the new gymnasium
was added, the girls played hockey on the old Shady Side Academy grounds
and practiced haslcethall in the recreation rooms ol the Church of the Ascension.
As the student enrollment and teaching staff increased, the West Building was
added. in 1953, when the Shearer School merged with the Ellis School, the
East Building was bought to accommodate the ever increasing student hody.
international conditions seem to he much the same today as they were when
the school was founded. The world was then engrossed in World War 1 and
it is now in the midst of World Vvar 11. The three patriotic minded Seniors ol
1918 carried Hags at their commencement, hut the twenty-six graduates of '41
will carry the customary Howers. The two graduating classes are similar in
that while in school they lcnitted husily and rolled handages for soldiers.
A comparison oi Cooperative 'Government rules with early official regulations
illustrates another way in which the school has progressed. Formerly for punish-
ment a girl had to remain after school and copy the Constitution of the United
States. Today her period of detention depends upon her offense and is used
for study. Neatness as well as deportment was checked upon hy the faculty
in 1916. Deslcs were inspected every Friday afternoon, whereas now there is
no such inspection, the responsihility for good manners and hehavior resting
largely with the girls. They watch each other more rigidly, on the whole. than
the faculty ever did. ln 1916 the Student Government was conducted on the
demerit system, while the present Cooperative Government is hased on the
detention system. K
During the past twenty-tive years the school has established a record for
sound scholarship and has huilt up interesting traditions. School customs and
ideals when well established put their stamp upon pupils and, in a measure,
form a type. May this "Ellis typeu continue to he one that will hring honor to
the school 'through the college years and eventually in the wider social world.

Once there was a parrot. He was a very bad parrot and was aiways getting
into trouble. When the telephone rang and someone would answer it, before
the person could say a word, the parrot would say, "Nobody home, Nobody

BAMBI
Bambi is the story of a deer that lived with his mother in the woods. As
he grew older, his mother showed him how to be cautious of other animals. One
day he had been in his bed of bushes, when he woke up and found that his
mother had gone. From that time on he had to took out for himself.
He went to tive with his three cousins, but he stiii had to took out for him-
self. One day he heard a great, banging sound. It came nearer. He became
frightened and ran for his life. He hurried to a ciump of bushes and cuddied
down in a heap, so as not to be seen. He knew that the noise was hunters
coming to kilt deer, and he was a deer.
Now one of his gayest cousins thought that he was smart and jumped in
front of the hunters, faces, but he was too smart and was shot. Bambi cried
for his cousin. Bambi tinaiiy realized that the hunters were gone as everything
became quiet.
One day when he was playing in the meadow, he looked around and saw
a familiar deer. It was his mother, and they lived happily together after that.

WINTER'S SILENCE
Down from the north a wintry lolast
Has come to spread its wrath
On Ioirds, and trees, and living things,
Whiph dare to loar its path.
The Ialces no longer shine and gleam,
Their waters cannot llowg
A tight, white cover seals them up
Against the sparlcling snow.
The moonlight casts its still, Cold rays
Upon the barren trees,
And lends to them a glow serene
Lilce lights upon d-arlc seas.
No cheery song, no hright-hued wing
To malce the forest glad,
The white-Clad cloalc of hope lies there,
So why, oh World, Ioe sad?
MARIE LOUISE COOl.EY,
Iunior.
CONTRAST
The trees stretched out their laden houghs:
The snow descended still.
And Man once more regained his faith
In God and His good will.
The strife ol warfare seemed remote
From calmly frozen lalces,
As sleepy vales, in silence wrapped,
Ignored the drifting lialces.
The cannon stood in solitude
Among the small, white stars,
Whose wispy lightness seemed to fall
Direct from distant Mars.
The misty sheen overcovered all
In gentle, tranquil quest
Of hidden fissures clelt in earth,
And soothed the world to rest.
.Io ANNE' MCCOLLKJUGH,
Iunior.

AN ABANDONED FORD
Here I am, an abandoned Ford.
Oh, I wish I weren't so hored.
My gauge is gone, and headlights, too
Am I a mess? If you only lcnew.
The mucI's up to my running hoard:
The cushions all are lioored,
And in my roof the pigeons co-o.
Am I a wreck? If you only Icnew.

OUR DOG
My Iittle puppy's name is Jaclc.
His feet are hig and his hair is hlaclcg
He whines all day and howls at night,
His temper is had and he lilies to fight.
He harlcs at the millcman and chases all cats:
He hunts out the mice and Iceeps off the rats.
While we all thinlc .lacles a line little hound,
The neighbors all say he's clue for the pound.

VVINTERS PICTURE
FOR A LITTLE SICK CHILD
The moon is up, and it's not yet four:
The wind is howling 'round our door:
The sparlcling snow is on its way
To malce tomorrow a different day.
O changing world, around my feetl
How nice to tramp in snow so deep,
To play and prattle in crystal dell.
To watch the snow as it softly fell.
Drifting earthward with suhtle ease,
Turning, shifting, through the trees,
It chilled my toes and froze my nose
But the joy I had-no one lcnows.

OUR CHRISTMAS TREE
Opening the parior door, T beheid a wondertui sight:
A tree surrounded by presents, and topped by a star for a Tight.
The tree was fa mass of coiors, which gave it a briiiiant eiiiectg
There were many odd, iittle trinlcets, with which the tree was deciced.
The tights were ot aii different sizes. There were fruits, candies, and balls:
And there were smaii, yeiiow candies, whose tiames shone on the waits.
The siiver strips ot tinsei were hung from bottom to top:
From one branch hung a monicey, which, when wound, was abie to hop.
A poiiceman on a motorcycie, whose gun showed sparics of fire,
Was tied on a branch beside a man who was trying to waiic a wire.
The popcorn baits were iarge and round, and there were appies red and shining:
Candy canes and sugar doiis for which we aii were pining.
Now at the end ot Christmas Day, the tree is neariy bare:
Oniy the iighted candies and tinsel stiii hang there.
The gifts are gone, but the shouts of children you hear
And the tree remains a symboi--of happy Christmas cheer.

OLD AGE
There he sat in the part ot the yard that was entireiy his. it was Spring
again, and it was nice to feet the warmth of a May sun beating down on his
head. He was not so young as he once was. As a matter of tact, he was,
according to the latest tabulation, eighty-tour, and was treated with the greatest
respect by ati the tamiiy.
He was even aiiowed to eat in the yard, something never permitted him
before he became oid and tame. They gave him many delicacies and were
aiways bragging to their friends that. even it he was oid, he never complained
or whined. He hated to thinic ot whining. It was such a babyish thing. One
aiways thought ot a spoiied chiid in connection with whining, but he was oid
and experienced now.
Many were the times. when he was younger, th-at he piayed with the
youngsters: but now, they did not bother him any more, just ieit him aione to
rest. Sometimes he wouid start to piay a iittie, but he couid not move about for
more than tive minutes at a time without becoming exhausted or wraciceci with
pain. Another troubie was that he did not hear very weii. He aiways had to
iean forward. straining to hear through his iett ear, and puclcering his eyebrows
a Iiule.
Many were the iong waiics he had taicen in his youth, but he reaiized that
he could never do this again and became resigned to a narrow, restricted icind
of iite.
Often since he had become iame, he had experience-ci excruciating pain
which ran up his iett ieg to his ribs.
One day he experienced that pain again, but it did not stop at his ribs.
It went aii the way up to his heart, which stopped, because it couid not stand
the strain. The tamiiy aimost went into mourning when the taithtui tamiiy dog,
who had iived tor iourteen years, the equivaient ot an eighty-four year oid human
iite, died, but it was a great satisfaction to reaiize that he had gone to Dog
Heaven. ANNE WILSON,

INTERLUDE
The stars were twinkling high over the skyscrapers on a warm evening in
Nlay. There was serenity ahove, hut helow-crowds. automobiles, policemen,
shouting, and pushing. And the reason lor this commotion was that the two
most talked ahout movies of the year were having their premieres that night.
Outside the Centre Theatre throngs of loyal fans were watching for the
entrance ol Noel Nlerson. who was starring in "Come Back to Me." A chorus
of nohsn greeted her as she drifted hy in a dazzling white fur evening wrap.
Three blocks away. in front ol the Palace Theatre, crowded the devotees
of Lucas James, to see their handsome hero in person.
lit was an exciting evening for the city.
Noel Merson. walking up in her luxurious hotel room the next morning.
thought with horror of the appointments she had lor that day and lor the rest
of the week. The studio had promised her a weeks vacation here in the East.
a vacation crammed with interviews and cocktail parties.
Just then her maid entered, carrying a steaming breakfast tray.
"Miss Lempis 'phoned and said she'cl he here at eleven instead of eleven-
thirty, Miss lVlerson."
"Oh she did, did she," snapped Noel as the maid went out.
While Noel sipped her tea she was thinking how wonderful it would he
to have just one day to do as she pleased. Then slowly she put down her cup.
usophieln she shouted impulsively.
The maid came in with a look of surprise.
"Sophie, where's that dress you wore yesterday on the Plane. and the hat?"
said Noel. Kilim going out, and tell anyone who comes here, that l won't he
hack until this evening."
Fifteen minutes later Noel looked like a different person. Her dark hair,
which was usually so carefully dressed by Sophie, was now pushed carelessly
hack under a Floppy hat. The dark hlue dress was a little large at the shoulders,
hut Sophie's coat lit perfectly. Then hastily glancing into the mirror she wiped
off any traces ol make-up, and saying good-hye to Sophie, she gaily scampered
down the service stairs and out into the street.
Noel spent the day window-shopping, walking in the park, and sight-seeing.
Every once in a while she would think she heard someone say. "May I have
your autograph, Miss lVlerson?" But on looking around she would see no one.
Toward evening she found herself in a crowded and smoky restaurant, and
was rather annoyed to think that she had to wait in line, as there were no tahles
available.
Finally a cheerful little waiter came up to her and said, ul have a place
for you. if you do not mind sitting with some other people."
"Uh no, l don't mind," she replied.
Noel was ushered over to a table in the center of the room. The table was
already occupied hy an elderly man and his wife, who was talking away at a
great rate hetween mouthfuls. The other occupant was a soher young man who
apparently did not know the couple.
Alter ordering, Noel looked around the room rather self-consciously, for she
lelt the young man staring at her. Soon the couple left, and Noel and the man
ate in silence. Suddenly Noel carelessly knocked her purse out of her lap, and
leaning over to pick it up. humped heads with the man, who was down for the
same reason.

u0h, I beg your pardonf' he said, embarrassed, as he retrieved the purse.
For the first time she reaiiy iooiced at him. His face seemed strangely
familiar. but she couidn't remember Where she had seen the broad forehead
and rugged features before.
"Do you come here often?" he asked.
'Tye never been in this city before."
uoh. Where are you from?" he continued.

The evening passed swittiy as they talked of anything that came into their
heads.
The foiiowing morning Noel woice up, biissfuiiy happy. For a moment she
couidnyt remember why. Then she recaiied Lucas, eager face when he asiced
her to meet him the next night at the same restaurant. Her thoughts were
interrupted by Sophie's entrance.
uiVliss Merson, you have an appointment with Mrs. Dorsey immediately,"
she announced, Hand here is a iiorist's box that just camef,
Noel opened it quiciciy and took out a single, beautifui gardenia. She
iaughed happily as she tucked it into her hair.
"Teil Mrs. Dorsey iyii be right there," she repiied gaiiy to Sophie as she

YOUTH
You say to us, HHOW ioveiy to be youngf,
Youth to you is giittering life and joy.
You picture youth standing on a hill,
White sunlight giows and wind sweeps vistas ciear.
Far, far beiow stretch many lands,
Some in shadow and some in youthis reiiected aura.
Ah, but youth is not standing on a hiii.
Youth does not feet warm sunlight or see vistas ciear.
We are in a vaiiey tilted with tears and doubts.
We Wait, undecided.
We ask, but no one answers,
For they have passed this vaiiey and do not heed our cry.
Yet We know so iittie and must iearn so much

We blunder on.

Well Spent!
One man told us that an hour with
our Trust Department was one of the
most profitable he had ever spent, in
terms of peace of mind and added
security for his family.
He discovered how our trust serv-
ices could relieve his wife of burden-
some detail, supply efficient manage-
mentfor his estate, and provide greater
protection for his heirs.
We invite you to come in, too. A
brief discussion may point the way to
a solution of your estote problems.
