Speaking is silver, silence is golden. Childish games. They said that they had just drank a gallon of “Hootch” that Charlotte Bergner had made for them from a Peck of Raisins that Harold Burgess had raised in California and sent down by Hazel Edington. 1 found them very uninteresting; so I went over to a lovely garden which 1 had seen from a distant e. Ruth Coffman. Kenneth Tolley, Amy Ashley and Ruby Blann were planting sweet peas, and I asked them where I could find the other members of the class. They told me that Glen was in the Tartaric regions doing everlasting penance for fitting people with shoes that did not fit them. I asked them what his punishment was, and they said that there was a long road; that he had to begin at one end and Slip and Fall to the other end thirty times a day and ten seconds off to study Spanish. They said that 1 would find Mattie Jenkins somewhere close to the little Martin that I had seen in the early part of the afternoon, and that Herbert Haines was in his office preparing the final issue of the “Devil’s Blackmail,” a publication put out by the Seniors of the match-making department, and that, as his assistants, I should find Rita Brandon and Gladys Huckstep. I found a shop on the way to the newspaper office and it was being run by Wendell Ridley. Strange to say, his punishment for flirting in the upper world was that he must speak and conduct himself like a Jew; so, when 1 went up to him, he said: “I sella evreyting. You want von book to Read? Or maybes you wish a De Long and Lank Ford for which to take Irene Beardsley or Sue Saunders a ride. I would paint them Green for you also yet.” And, as 1 turned to go, he called me back. “Oh and Yes, you vill find some good-looking Jaynes clown here; they are bether-looking even tan de ones in the upper woorld.” As 1 went out I met the Barbour, and he asked me if I wanted a hair cut; he said that the women in Hades all wore their hair Bobbed. I told him “No,” and went over to a place where I saw a beautiful Bower of Roses, under which sat Helen Higgins and Ray Sutton and Evelyn Roberts and Henry Stark. 1 did not wish to disturb them; so I passed quietly on to where I saw a Workman talking to Kenneth Neish, who 1 had been told was in c harge of the Devil’s largest coal mine. They were talking about the bank failure, and 1 stayed to learn the facts. It seemed that Harvey Tupper and Ruth Chee-dle had started a bank, but that they argued so much that they lost their trade, and, finally, after the Woman’s Vigilance Committee had reported them thru their able assistants, Madge Fritze and Merle Olson, they had had a run on the bank and it had failed. I almost wept as I heard the sad news; but Wendell Ridley came along Ful-ler Hartzel-ers’ Eskimo Pop, and he cut such capers that I soon felt quite gay again, and, as I saw him mistaking Green onions for Daisies, I fairly doubled up with laughter. The Angel of Death came along then and told me that a committee, headed by Margaret Burroughs, had voted that I be doomed to outline six English books for the writing of the Senior Short Story, and I was led away to my doom. —Alwilda Callaway.

She told me that I had lived to be the oldest member of my class and that they were all down in Hades and were waiting for Latcheses to cut the thread of my life, so that we might have a reunion. She said that she would take me to where my old classmates were, and I was so glad to have the opportunity of seeing them all again that I hurried very fast to ■get ready, and we soon set out. We arrived at the entrance to Hades early in the afternoon and were met at the gate, not by the fierce Cerebrus, but by a well dressed Paige, who took us over to the Marshall of the underworld and then went back to her post. Everything was different from the picture I had of Hades which I had construed in my imagination from the descriptions in Virgil and in my Mythology; but, when I stopped to think that both Edison and Burbank had died and gone to Hades, I realized that it was only natural for them to remodel it and install electricity instead of the old fireworks. The Marshall was in his House, where he had prepared a banquet for myself and a few other members of my class who were at leisure. Dod’s son Jim and Larson were there, and they had a little Steele hammer with which they were tacking up a picture of ex-President Ronald Lewis. In a few moments dinner was served, and it was certainly a lovely dinner: there were Porter House steaks. Lap ham, Dill pickles, Parker House rolls, Ryan’ Brown bread, Campbells soup and a good Diehf of strawBarrys. In the middle of the meal, someone came and said that Warren Potter had returned from a hunting trip and was out in front. Every one ran out to see him. He had been successful, and had on the lawn a Brown Fox, quite Stout and sly, but looking rather Meek. It was tied with a good Diehl of rope around the Shanks. I heard a little twitter above, and, looking up. I saw a little Martin sitting in the tree above my head. David Sanders, the minister. was called away just then on some business. and I was conducted to a corner of Hades reserved for the w'orst sinners. Here I saw Ed McCormick working over a wire. I asked what he was doing and was informed that he was Old Nick’s head electrician during the day and was the orator of Hades by night, when great crowds assembled to hear him on the subject of China. Frances Reed andEvelyn Roberts came along and told me that they were going to the Welles for some water, and asked me to go along. I told them I would, and joined them. I soon came to what seemed to me to be a lovely Welle, but they just scoffed and said that that was only a Hoel in the ground. They then told me that in the Elysian fields they had water that was unequaled in the regions above. They said that their principal source wm I effing well, but that there were other very good Welles, too. They left me at the well and went to By-ram which Evadne Carson was offering at a very low price. As I stood looking around. I saw Margaret Whitney coming toward me, and I saw that she must have died young, for she didn’t look a day older than she did when she was a Senior, and her hair was beautifully waved. I asked her if they made good Marcell waves in Hades, and she said: “Oh, yes; but they don’t call them Marcells down here; they call them Purcells, in honor of our illustrious cartoonist. I was very much surprised, but did not have time to say anything, for just then I saw Henry Bechtold and William Elbon, trying to get two Cox to fight. Margaret and I went over and asked them why they played such

The Orange and Black; Its Future OHE Orange and Black has again enjoyed a prosperous year, for which many thanks are due the student body, the business men who gave their support, and our other friends. Several changes and innovations were introduced into the paper this year, chief of which was the return to the magazine size but retaining the newspaper style as much as possible, and the absence of advertising with the exception of one ad at the 'bottom of the front page, which carried the names of those business men supporting the O. and B. The outlook for future years at present includes a printing establishment—a feature which all progressive high schools are installing and which prove to be a success in all phases. In some small communities the high school paper also serves as the community newspaper. Many high schools publish weekly papers; others, semi-weekly, and a few, daily papers. The natural and logical step for the Orange and Black would he from the monthly to the semi-monthly edition; thence, in time, to the weekly publication. One notable feature evident in a good many school publications, which we have received, is a tendency toward the newspaper style and away from the “joke-book” idea. Instead of a vast conglomeration of second-hand jokes, and a faint scattering of school notes and athletics, the school paper is beginning to-fulfill the true functions for which it is intended, namely: the publishing of news of interest to the high school, providing a medium for the exercise of literary and journalistic talent and endeavor, and to promote-school spirit by keeping the students interested in their school. At the State High School Press Conference,, held last March at the University of Colorado,, the Orange and Black was represented by two delegates. A state press association was formed and is now the Colorado Division of the Central Interscholastie Press Association, an organization composed of over four hundred high school publications in the United States. We were admitted to membership in both organizations. With this honor as an incentive and with the constructive criticism and aid furnished by the C. I. P. A., the Orange and Black has an enviable future before it, and, providing that it has the whole-hearted support of the student body and an energetic, tireless staff, it can easily become of the first rank among high school publications. Essentials of Manliness Y ERBERT Spencer, the great scientist, JL| once remarked; “To play billiards well is the mark of a gentleman, but to play billiards too well is the mark of a misspent life.” How true such a statement is, and yet a great many people go on and on spending their time and energy altogether too liberally in popular sports and other diversions. Too often we see young people of high school age who are tempted to follow the lighter physi-
