A patriot to the core, Washington served his country as soldier, statesman, diplomat, and executive. But the material gifts which X 5 Q YQ sf-2-ff' f- -' ? ki f fi N, -5 f C l y ff, ,'-' he made to Colonial and Revolutionary America are far eclipsed by the intangible ideals which he left to posterity.

When George Washington's ancestors migra- ted to Virginia they brought with them as a part of their traditions this family escutcheon. Toward the close of the Revolution, colonial leaders, taking this emblem as a base, design- ed America's national banner. These heral- dic figures, the arms and crest, are symbolic of the inscription- The goal is Worthy of the ef- fortf' In adopting the name, George Washing- ton High School, the student body fell heir to this tradition, Being his coat-of-arms, it became our coat-of-arms. Rightfully our school ban- ner flaunts the motto-Exitus Arta Probat. l16l - 1 H71 ESENIOR PGST l932.-I-I SEASONS How happy is the world when Springtime's sky Is arched above, while softly budding trees Uplift their precious promises on high And wave their priceless burdens in the breeze. How beautiful the world where Summer's song Is echoed back by rivers, lakes and rills! Where nodding daisies grow 'mid grasses long, And purple haze lies on the distant hills! How glorious the world when scarlet leaves Float down at Autumn's touch to clothe the ground! When goldenrod the Summer's death retrieves And purple-clustered grapes the vines have crowned! How Wonderful the world when shining ice And violet-shadowed snow enwraps the earth! When blazing fires the weary heart entice And holly wreaths bespeak the Christmas mirth ! Each month, each season has its jeweled days- Each Winter, Springtide, Summer and each Fallg I know not which deserves the highest praise, For each one in its turn is best of all. -Edward H Hiese MOODS Grave Dark palms, Silent sky, Pyramids Thou and I- The one, the soulg The others, mass Invariable As ages pass. -Ann Duke l 13 l il SENIOR PDST l932.-1.1-'A' ON VACATION The drug, Vacation, is one of the most powerful known to science. If it is used in the correct way and in small doses, this drug will cure tired feel- ings, frayed nerves, and run down conditions. Indeed many people use it as a general spring tonic. This drug is also instrumental in finding lost tempers and preventing sensless quarreling. Should this narcotic be used to excess, however, the user becomes an addict. And, unfortunately, the habit of taking a vacation all the time is a difiicult one to cure. Observation shows this habit to be more common than it should be. The learned medical men of this century term addicts of this drug Lazy , Psychology teaches us that lazy habits can be broken only by a scare, by a titanic effort of the will, or by the united efforts of all the ad- dict's friends and acquaintances. The latter method is the most commonly used. It is believed that the weakness towards this drug is an inherited one and, though it apparently may be overcome, is ready to crop out at the slightest provocation. THE GYPSY'S SONG I used to be a gypsy Three hundred years ago, With a turbaned head And a dress of red, My sash tied into a bow. We were a roving band I, and my jolly friends, The girls read palms While the men took alms, But nothing would we lend. Our tents were full of relics Many, odd, and queer, Portraits of lovers Bound in green covers Brought smiles to sweethearts sincere. Oh, I was a wandering gypsy Three hundred years ago, With a turbaned head And a dress of red My sash tied into a bow. -Jane Larimer I19l iri-:-i SENIOR POST I932-E-at THE SEA The breakers as they dash and roar And swish upon the sandy shore, Thrill me. The rocks so tall, so gaunt, so still, Form a rugged, cragged sill Around the sea. The mist that clings so dark and damp That corresponds with the sea gull's chant Is forboding. The dull grey sky that meets the sea Foretells of some calamity Soon to happen. Far out there on the sea's far brim The grey sky is no longer dim, A storm. And so I'll go and leave the sea. By itself it wants to be. I'll come again. -Annabelle Montague BEACH DAYS On the shore, towers banked the skyline. White ocean foam lapped the sandy shoreg Here and there a miniature liner was tossed upon the waves like a ball in the hands of a childg An airplane floated between cloudsg peo- ple moved lazily along the shore walkg Others stretched deathlike on the beach. Pleasure was at low ebb on the Californian coast. -Mary Louella Clark I 20 J 'ir-II'-.2 SENIOR POST ISSZI-.:--'....-f I MEET A LIZARD I have a vivid memory of the part of my childhood spent in southeast ern Kentucky. I know how it feels to sit at the edge of a field bordering on a thick tangled woods and listen to the rustle of the wind through the leaves of the trees. I used to walk the freshly plowed furrows and follow with my eyes the clouds, sailing. Sometimes I imagined myself sailing, too, on ones that looked accomodating. But I did not always dream. One day while mother and I were working in the garden, I became fati- gued and perched upon a large old chestnut stump. As I squirmed about for more firm seating on the half rotten snag, I spied lying behind me a lizard more than three inches in length! Before I could get off my perch the crea- ture had scampered up my clothes! From that day to this I have been lizard hearted. 1Sadie Mille,- A WHALE STORY After weeks of methodical packing, Sam and Ilaunched out in our mo- tor boat for a rendezvous on our secret, Pacific island. Although towing our old Ford behind us, we made the voyage in less than record time. Aware of the treachery of tropical twilight, We hastily tied our boat and pitched camp. I hadn't been sleeping long when I was awakened by the most terrible noise. Peering out of our tent, I saw we were in the midst of a hurricaneg I called Sam. Just as we stepped out of the tent, a large tree fell, crushing it to the ground. The rain came down in torrents, trees fell before the fury of the wind. It soon dawned upon us that we had better get an umbrella from the carg and, after barely missing death by falling trees, we finally obtained the umbrella. At dawn, upo-n looking over the wreckage, we found our food and mat.ches soaked to a pulp. Going down to the shore to get Wash water, I espied a flock of geese manoeuvering on the water. Thinking this an excellent chance to have some water-fowl for breakfast, I secured our double-barrled shot gun, and crept back to the water's edge. Placing the gun to my shoulder, I blazed away. When the smoke had cleared, I found that every fowl on the water had been killedg and, what is more, on the surface of the water began to Hoat fish that had been killed by the shot. Moreover, rearing at the debris's edge was the dead body of a whale. Wading out to get the fowl for breakfast, I found, to my utter amazement, the fish suiiiciently thick to bear my weight. Sam, gazing at me from the shore, must have thought I was the Immortal One. As I reached the shore, he reminded me that we had no dry matches. I was addled. 'Ihe Radio! Yes, if Sam would put up the radio, breakfast would i211 --1, SENIOR POST I93Z-E'-ir soon be ready. Although he believed me crazy, he did as I commanded. Dialing, I struck a station that was playing red hot music. Grabbing the skillet containing the dressed geese, I put it on the radio. Before long the meat was cooked tender. Now that our appetites were dulled, we observed our motor boat no longer bobbing at anchor. Not comforting was the knowledge that this is- land lay off the trade route and was very seldom visited. Suddenly Sam let out a yell, snached up a hatchet, and motioned for me to follow him. Poor Sam! I was sure he was demented. Nevertheless, I followed over to a mass of grapevines, which he began to cut. When he told me to carry the cut vines to the car, I was sure he was crazy, but I did as he asked. Coming back to our puddle jumper, he began filling it with our supplies. With my assistance, it wasn't long before the car was loaded. On top of this he piled the vines. Then jumping into the car, Sam motioned for me to do likewise. Soon we were riding out over the surface of the ocean on top of the dead fish. Upon reaching the whale, Sam jumped out, took a needle and thread from his pocket, and began sewing the whale's jowls together. Next he took a piece of the grapevine and, tying one end to the car, he ran the other end underneath the whale, around over the top, and back to our car where he secured it. After repeating this operation with several of the vines, Sam took the pump out of our Ford and, placing the end of the hose into the hole on top of the whale's head through which the whale spouts water, began to pump. Before long the huge body of the whale began to clear the water. Not until this happened did it dawn on me what Sam aimed to do. By filling the whale's body with air, it would float, making us a-number-one dirigible! Gradually the car, which now served as our cabin, cleared the water's surface. We steered our ship by working the whale's left ear, knowing that it controlled the movement of the tail. By fastening our electric fan, con- nected to the car's battery, to the radiator cap, our motor was complete. After sailing for about an hour, we began to notice houses taking shape under us. Letting out some of our ship's air, Sam began lowering the dirig- ible to earth. Spying our house, we nosed our craft towards it. Securing our dirigible ,to the chimney, we climbed down to our family who were gath- ered below. The next day several aircraft officials came to examine our ship. After noticing every detail, they awarded us a medal for being the first aviators to cross the Pacific in a dirigible propelled by a one-eighth horsepower motor- -Frederick Neaville I22l -' 23 sin' J f Bertha WZSBBIEIBB and 6619436 Wasrangm i'li12ii!i?Q13iIilG PBIHH WZSEBQUR 3116 farm i241 v Mrs. mmm LEW 3588513363913 laid fam MQHBTS WMBBBIS maffiifia 3381533131153 fax ,jwqkgsig K, I ff-'Q QV? fy 'ZZ gl ,Z f .f . 1, L f 7 , f Y ,z I ' 'ici ' ,, f W SV ,f 4 4? 2 QQ 2 ww A.-..,.ff -Q ,. - yv f wf,f,S 2 'Jar lbw Mn ,4 'f ' - M , - X ,,4W,, LMQF, A 1 Z Mg, - -l251 ., H V Gralgic House, Camlmduc, Mass.

Judge Kenneth Baldwin of the Supreme Court will try the case. Prosecuting Attorney Irvin Cain reports several new witnesses for the prosecution. Cain believes the case will be a short one in this court, for he expects to take only two days for the prosecu- tion. Ralph Flake, star witness for the defense, was quizzed by De- tectives Stutsman and Ramsey. 'They refused to report the suc- cess of their interview to the press. Benson is charged with pro- moting fixed and unlicensed air races. The new jury, strange to say, will consist mostly of women. This is unusual when the type of case is considered. The jury is: Ruby Brown, house- keeper: Ethel Chiki, stenogra- phcr: Gladys Callahan, profes- sional golfer: Baird Wilson, farmer: .Jane Richey, actress: Paul Hammer, carpenter: Lois Buchanan, seamstress: Marjorie Averitt, clerk: Dortha Mae Stine, housekeeper: Fay Jones, house- wife: and Mary Elizabeth Jame- son, librarian.

S. troops, commanded by Major Robert Hedge, relieved Captain William Oliver's hghting mar- ines late yesterday afternoon. This makes a total of 3,573 men on the front. According to Charles Lockwood, foreign stall' correspondent, it is rumored that the rebels will launch a de- termined offensive program early next week. General Wade, with a reinforcement of 5,000 men, is expected here before the beginning of this campaign. An aviation squadron commanded by Capt. William Kuntz bombed the rebel arsenal at Randall be- fore dawn this morning. Glenn Ludlow, foremost A- merican diplomat, reported the failure of his efforts to effect a compromise with rebel leaders. Sergeant Thomas Hoover re- ceived the Grahn medal for bravery in action.

When the snake recovers, it will be sold to Miss Rosamond Baker, professional snake charmer. Miss Baker is with the theatrical troupe of Miss Eleanor Cox. OAIIAIIAN RIDIOUIES ATIEMPIS IO LOWER CIII UOHI IIAIES MEROIIAIIIS PRDIESI IIOIII RAIES. Ernest Callahan, manager of the Indianapolis section of the National Light Company, em- phatically denied the rumor that the light rates would be lowered. Callahan claims the company is operating on an extremely nar- row profit. He believes further attempts on the part of the Mer- chants Association ot' the City to lower rates are foolish and absurd. llowever, Robert C. Jones, head of the Merchants Association, announced that he had received authentic informa- tion from civil authorities that thc rates would be changed. It is impossible to say just which re- port is correct, but there is a possibility that the rates may be lowered for the small con- sumer. In a speech to the Woman's Civic Club yesterday, Miss Ruth Eldridge, woman financier, cited many examples of lower rates in other cities. Donald Bright, investigator for the Merchants Association, sustained Callahan's statement that the company proper was operating on a thin margin of profit. However. he said, that the stock holders of that company sell raw materials to their com- pany at exorbitant prices. This statement, if proven, will make the rate change a more involved question. Mr. Hiram Mitchell is circul- ating a petition to lower the light rates among the tax payers of the city. WOIIIGII lo PIIOI ZGDDDIIII Oll IIIIIIRIIRDOIIS- Paris IIOIIIOQ SOIIRIOI OIIIISIGIIS IDD.
