Bump Valedictory: President 4: Orchestra I, 2, 3, 4: Enterprise 2, 3, 4: Harvard Book Prize 3: Football 4 The survival of the Fittest, He proved best man in the field. Martin, K. H. S. will miss you in its many activities-especially as an orator. Your many writings have drawn much favorable comment. and you draw as line a bow as befits a concert master. We congratulate and hail you as Val- edictorian of our class, for you justly deserve it. We know you will succeed as an editor of some newspaper, for your fitness for this work has already been shown by your editorship of the Enterprise. HAZEL DARLING Latin Club 3, Mu Delta Rho 3, 4: Vice-Presi- dent 4, Minstrel 1, Year Book 4: Honor Student Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, In every gesture dignity and love. Darling is Bent upon being a school- teacher. We certainly know she will be a good one. We think perhaps she might also be able to coach a basket-ball team, having seen rc- cently so much of an authority upon the sub- ject. Hazel shines in all her studies and we know that in the future she will help others to shine in theirs. HAROLD BRIDGE Mike Treasurer 4: M. A. Club l, 2, 3, 4 Hang sorrow! care will kill a cat, and there- fore Iet's be merry. Mike, you certainly have been it in a great many of our school activities. Without you, we surely would have been lost. We have appreciated your wise sayings, Mike. We can't quite see how you are going to become a first class soldier but we are sure that you can become an expert at your profession. BERTHA WILLIAMS Biff Secretary 4: Le Cercle Francais 4: Mu Delta Rho 4: D. A. Club 3, 4 As merry as the day is long. Bertha's charming way and cordial manner surely have won a place in our hearts. There is one thing that we fancy and that is her boyish Bob. Biffs greatest ambition is to be a French Teacher. We hope she will teach it in K. H. S. RACHEL A. ADAMS Ra D. A. Club 3 Life hath no blessing like an earnest friend. Ra was an excellent class-mate and we are proud to call her our own. She is very quiet but under this quietness lies much ability and conscientiousness. We hope to hear great things from you. Ra. LAWRENCE E. ALDRICH Monk M. A. Club 3: Hockey 1 On the wings of the wind. Monk is right at home in the great out-of- doors, especially, when on skiis or skates. We understand that Monk is going to become a high flyer for he intends to enter an aviation school after graduation. MYRTLE SHAW ATHERTON N an Mu Delta Rho 3: Commercial Club 3, 4 A peace above all earthly dignities, A still and quiet conscience. You ought to see Nan make the typewriter keys fly! Commercial students of '28 will surely miss hearing her pound the keys. If she is as successful as a teacher of commercial sub- jects as she has been as a typist, we know she will rise to the top. GORDON AYER Orchestra 1, 2, 3: Band 4 And thereby hangs a tale Gordon is a quiet fellow around the school but, oh my, when he starts putting wind through the working end of a saxophone, how the time does fly. We don't think Gordon ever retires before 12 a. m. for between the members of the Normal School and his radio, he is kept very busy. Northeastern will be very fortunate, Gordon, to be able to welcome you to its school next year. ROLAND WILFRED BAKER Nap M. A. Club 3, 4 My heart is true as steel. Why did they call you Nap, Roland? Pos- sibly you take a few naps in the store, but we advise you not to if you are to become a Manager. We wish you the best of luck, any- way, Nap. JAMES BALLOU, JR. Jim Football 1, 2, 3, 4 The smaller they are the harder they fall. Jim, we are inclined to think, as he, him- self, admits, that he, too, prefers b1ondes. Well, Jim, we hope that when you are a dentist you will have lots of them to practice on. FREDERICK HAWKINS Freddy A quiet tongue showeth a wise head. The class lost Freddy because he liked Schenectady better than Keene-or was it Troy? Maybe the girls there are more attractive-but we doubt it. You're certainly doing good work: Freddy, wherever you are-if you do the same as you did here. EVA BARILE Field Hockey 3, 4: Basketball 1, 3, 4: Com- mercial Club 3, 4 She is pretty to walk with and witty to talk with, and pleasant, too, to think on. Eva is one of our high-class girl athletes of '28. In her freshman year at Keene she earned her letter in basketball. That wasn't enough, so she journeyed to Manchester and there won another insignia for her remarkable services, She became homesick, however. as we all desired. and returned to Keene. We expect to hear great praise of her in her career as a nurse. JOHN BARRY Jack Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4: Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4: Year Book 4 ls there anyone who doesn't know Jack? We will all remember his famous bums, his long. accurate shots at a basket, and above all his Kissel. Jack isn't very tall but he meas- ures up well in some other things. If you want to know what they are, ask Jack. RAYMOND BARRETT Sheik M. A. Club l, 2, 3, 4 And with sweet ladies, With my words and looks. Raymond has been true to his nick name of sheik, especially since he moved down in the neighborhood of the Normal School. He says he wishes to study forestry. We hope he has as much success as a forest ranger as he has had in finding teachers, both trained or in training, to skate with him. HAROLD BECKWITH Becky For courage mounteth with occasion. Harold is a model student. and we can heart- ily advise all freshmen to follow in his foot- steps. We believe that if he continues to main- tain his standard set in K. H. S., he will be soon far on the road to success as a radio expert. IVAN R. BECKWITH Now the bartIe's ended, the way is plain to parish church. Ivan is a very hard working lad, and turns to music for relaxation and amusement. Our ad- vise to you, Ivan is that if you are to be a suc- cessful minister. you must not, upon seeing someone smile in the congregation burst out laiaghing-as you did once in fourth year Eng- lis . CASPER C. BEMIS Charlie Treasurer 3: Football 4: M. A. Club 3, 4: Science Club 3, 4 Fear is king of all. Everyone certainly enjoys being in any of Casper's classes--except, maybe. the teachers. He says he expects to become a lawyer-and we all hope he succeeds with his powers of persua- sion. HAZEL BEMIS When you do dance, I wish you a wave o' th' sea, that you might ever do nothing but that. Hazel is another one of those Fitzwilliam girls who joins us every morning at eight o'clock. Hazel has always appeared to be very quiet but we would like to see her in Fitzwil- liam. As a private secretary, Hazel, we all know you'll be a wonder, and we all wish you the best of luck during your advanced educa- tion. MILLARD S. BEMIS Mil : Snappy Treasurer 2. Hockey 3, And gladly would he learn, and gladly teach. Millard is another hard working member of '28, We don't blame him for liking to dance. any more than we do for aspiring to be Direc- tor of Public Utilities Company, for there are good lookers at both. He is going to attend N. H. U. Millard. when you become Direc- tor, don'r forget to give the class of '28 special rates. WILLIAM BEMIS Billy If anyone wants to know how to pop the question. ask Billy. If experience is the greatest teacher, then Billy is well versed in many things for between Chesham and Keene he has gleaned a complete education. Bon voy- age, Billy. HENRY W. BENT Baseball 2, 3, 4: Basketball 2, 3. 4: Mechanic Arts Club 2. 3, 4 He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again. Bentie surely has been a most desirable addition and help to our athletic teams. Some day we shall probably see his name beside Babe Ruth's or some other star's. You have been a fine classmate, 'iBentie, and here's success to you! HORACE BETTS Mechanic Arts Club 4 We grant although he had much wit, he was very shy of using it. Horace's favorite amusement is watching oth- ers rush for honors, and picturing himself rid- ing his bicycle. if he should get one, up and down the aisle. He wishes to become an expert flyer. Perhaps he is going to put wings on his bike and use that for flying in the U. S. Navy. Good Luck to you and your Bike Horace, but remember a bicycle 'idoes not hold water any more than some history arguments! MALCOLM BEVERSTOCK Mac Football l, 2, 3, 4: Basketball 4: Track 3, 4 I'd give my life-for some sleep We all like Mac for his sportsmanship and his jolly good nature. We know that Norwich University will be glad to claim him even though he does like to sleep in class. Mac says his greatest ambition is to graduate from K. H. S. A little bird tells us you will Mac so we are taking a chance on putting this in to the '28 Year Book. JOHN BIGELOW Big Oh, dear, l'ue been having a hard time: but then all great men do. Big is another of the Troy Sheiks ac- cording to all information we have received. We also understand that i'Big is quite a basketball player. We wonder if by any chance he knows how to play any other games. HILDA BLOMBACH Buster Hockey 3, 4: Basketball I, 2, 4: Minstrels l. 2, 3, 4: Commercial Club 3, 4: Home Economics Club 3, 4 A feasting presence is full of light. Wherever Buster is there is sure to be fun. She is one of the Crew of smiling blondes of '28. K. H. S. appreciates her services as an athlete, and will miss her merry-making, but some business office will soon be brightened by both her blond curls and her smiles. ' CLIFTON BRADISH Cliff Football 3, 4: Hockey 3, 4 I dare do all that may become a man. Clifton is a Southerner. at least he comes from the cliffs of South Keene. Clifton likes sports. and that is why he is such a big husky boy. We know you will succeed, Clifton in your desire to become a Railway Mail Service Clerk. and we all wish you happiness in your chosen work. FLORENCE BRITTON Commercial Club 4 Some are born great, some achieve greatness. and some have greatness thrust upon them. Florence, we congratulate you for your choice of a hobby: that of typewriting accurately. If you carry out your hobby, you will surely real- ize your greatest ambition-to be a stenographer or private secretary. Keep up the good work you have done in school and you will win. KARL C. BRUDER Year Book 3, 4: Latin Club l. 2: Mu Delta Rho 3, 4: Debating 4: Senior Play 4: Orchestra l. 2, 3. 4: Lincoln Medal 3. I am Sir Oracle, And when I ope my lips, let no dog bark- Karl certainly has been a real pal to all of us during his four years of school. He will long be remembered for his sparkling recitations and his wonderful debating. He has rendered invaluable service to the Mu Delta Rho Society. We all know that you will be a great success as an architect. Karl, as well as in your college career. Best of luck to you! CARMEN EVELYN BUSKEY Lynn Orchestra 1, Z, 3, 4: Science Club 4: Mu Delta Rho 4: Latin Club 1 Sweets to the sweets farewell Lynn loves to fiddle away on her vio- Clynnj, and she surely can play it. K. H. S. appreciates her services in the orchestra, and we know the Normal School will welcome her this September. Reading and the movies are very educational. and skating is a very good form of recreation. so Lynn ought to prosper and live long. RICHARD CALLAHAN Dick Let us remember, that no horizon, no shy line, no mountain range limits or bounds our aims. We all think Dick would have made a good hockey player but, as he did not go out for hockey, we assume that he stayed at home to study Math. We are uncertain about what Rich- ard intends to do. RICHARD C. CAMERON I Dich I M. A. Club 1. 2, 3. 4 Ambition is the growth of euery cIime Dick is a victim of the radio fever. He aspires to be an Electrical Engineer, and is start- ing in by tinkering with radio parts. However, if he puts as much hard work and energy into his future work, as he has his school work, he will be soon spanning great rivers. JOSEPHINE CASSIDY Joe Science Club 4: Commercial Club 3. 4 I am all the daughters of my father's house, and all the brothers too. Joe aspires to be a teacher. Suppose she rould teach 'em? Well, we are sure of it. Why, Joe could make anyone believe anything she said. Her choice of skating as her favorite amusement is very wise, for it is not only good exercise, but also very enjoyable-especially on the mill pond. GEORGE CHICKERING Chick Football l, 2, 3, 4: Baseball 3. 4: Science Club 3, 4 To me the cries of fighting fields are charms, Keen be my sabre and of proof my arms. Chick sure has a record as an athlete and K. H. S. will miss him and his jokes. Although he says his favorite amusement is singing, stu- dents of K. H. S. are convinced that he is quite fond of running around with a Chandler. Maybe he will have a Chandler some day. after he leaves Brown College. HARRIS E. CLARK CIarkey President 2: Basketball 1, 2: Football 2, 3, 4: Track 3: M. A. Club l, 2. 3, 4 An upright judge, a learned judge! Clarkey says his greatest amusement is studying. Maybe it is-studying medicine. Surely Doc Weston Che or she?J is a good teacher. We hardly see, though. what medicine has to do with being a Civil Engineer. Here's luck to you, Clarkey! We know that your smile will surely help you to be a civil engin- eer. MERLE E. COLLINS -A Orchestra l, 2, 3, 4: Enterprise 4: Latin Club I: Science Club 4: Mu Delta Rho 4 A mistress of herself, though China falls. If Merle teaches Public Speaking with the same interest she displayed in it at K. H. S., we envy her future students. Her pleasantness and friendliness do not keep her from being capable and clever in her studies. We fear she will have a full program, if she carries out her wish to teach English, public speaking and music, but we hope she will be a success in whatever she undertakes. FRANCIS COTY France Science Club 4: Commercial Club 4 A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever. Coty. you have chosen very worthwhile amusements-reading, drawing, and taking part in winter sports, for they are all both educa- tional and recreational. When France becomes an expert aviation mechanic, he is going to hop to France, with some of our prospective aviators. Here's hoping you succeed in what- ever you attempt. Francis. HARRY W. H. DIAL Duke Mu Delta Rho 4: Baseball 4: School Play 4 I am not in the roll of common men. Harry came to us from Ohio his Sophomore year, and we know it was from a farm because he has taken such an interest in a Kitty and a Bunny, 'Ann' how! It's too bad he hasn't a Sister! Good luck,' Harry, and don't forget your Bonnette when you go to Cyr. LOUISE A. DOMPIER Commercial Club 2 Silence is the perfect herald of joy. Louise never says much, but we know she is very fond of dancing. It is well that you live in the wide. open spaces of West Keene, Louise. because of your great love for snowshoeing. Here's success to you as a stenographer and pri- vate secretary! ORLANDO J. DOSTILIO Lando Science Club 4 No man is the wiser for his learning-wit and wisdom ure born with a man. Orlando is a rather quiet fellow although he does like to tease the faculty substitutes. He studies a great deal. and likes to hike and attend movies. When he has a business of his own he is going to hire some of the '28 commercial students to help in his office. Here's hoping he succeeds! HANNAH K. ELLIS Han Secretary 1: Science Club 3, 4: Mu Delta Rho 4: Enterprise 3, 4 A true friend is forever a friend. Hannah is certainly a good sport and real representative of our school. She is always smiling and ready to help anyone. We hope her worthy ambition may be fullilled because travel- ing is surely a liberal education. Would a posi- tion as traveling saleswoman meet the require- ments, Han ? 'rf J++ 1 1 rv KX at MARGARET A. FARRAR Peg Orchestra 4: D. A. Club 4: Le Cercle Francais 4: Mu Delta Rho 4 Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit. Peg will certainly be a success in a School of Dramatic Arts, if she does as well there as she did here in winning second place in the public speaking contest. We wish her the best of good fortune! She says she is fond of a good time and she certainly always seems to be having one. MARY T. FITZGERALD Commercial Club 4: Le Cercle Francais 4 And Frenche she spake ful fayre and fetislyf' Mary is always ready with a good answer in all her classes. Her ambition is to succeed in the business world, and we are sure she will. She says her favorite amusement is driving, but- Mary, Wheelock Park is a nice place to take snapshots. MARY FOLEY Commercial Club 2 She moves a godess, and she looks a queen. Mary, K. H. S. students will miss you at about 9.00 a. m. By the way, how many pairs of shoes have you worn out while distributing the absentee slips? We know you will become a proficient stenographer or private secretary, and hope you won't forget K. H. S. and '28. 4 EVELYN T. FRENCH Frenchie Science Club 2 Bur thy eternal summer shall not fade. All those who know Frenchie feel that she is a jolly good friend and take from her a lesson on how to be contented. Frenchie, we certainly hope that Dame fortune will serve you with the best in her power, and that you will enjoy your work in Normal School. LAURA ELLA GAUTHIER Al Commercial Club 3, 4: Science Club 4 A pleasant smiling cheek, a speaking eye. We are glad to learn that Ella wishes to fur- ther her Commercial education. She surely makes the typewriter keys ily now, and some diary she will be a great addition to some business o ice. TERESA R. GILBO Pat Field Hockey 3, 4: Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4: Track 1, 2, 3: Vice-president 3: Captain Field Hockey 3: Manager Basketball 4: Minstrel Show 3, 4: Commercial Club 3, 4: Science Club 4 Age cannot wither her, nor custom skale, Her infinite vanity, Pat is very proficient in all sports. She is always laughing, smiling, or talking and she is one of the best liked girls in school. Well, Pat, we wish you success in your chosen pro- fession of being a Math teacher and probably some day you'll come back to Keene High School, and hold a high position in the math department. CLARA A. GIOVANNANGELI Joe Commercial Club 3, 4 A wonder--a woman of few words! Who doesn't remember Joe and her smiling face while she collected sli s the fourth eriod? P P She has been a pleasant and friendly companion. We hope she secures an excellent office position. ROBERT GREENE Bob Class President 1: Football 1, 2, 3, 4: Basket- ball 2, 3, 4: Track 2, 3, 4: Latin Club l Mu Delta Rho 4 Some say he's bashful: others doubt it. Ready and true in every need, Such men, they say, are friends indeed. Bob is one of those rare geniuses who is equally good in athletics or studies. He intends to continue his education and Wants to travel. Well, we are certain that if he carries himself through the world as he carried the pigskin down the field. he will surely achieve successuin what- ever he undertakes. ALFRED T. GRIMES Grimsey Basketball Manager 4: M. A. Club 2, 3, 4 Men of few words are the best men. Grimsey is a quiet boy around school but we imagine that on the baseball field he is less quiet, especially if he gets an electric shock. By the way, we wonder what the great attrac- tion is in Providence. GEORGE GOODRICH Bob Track 3: Science Club 3, 4 I desire no more delight than to be under wing and gone tonight. George is not satisfied with being able to hop over the hurdles, so he is planning to hop over the oceans in the latest thing in aircraft. Well, Bob, it is fortunate you like to swim, for you may have to more than once in the future. HJKLYVVQX I 'N ,lf f-. ,l l 9- Lf NATALIE HALE Oh, thou art fairer than the evening air, Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars. The smell of ether and wicked looking tools used by doctors have beckoned Natalie to her life's work, for she says she is going to be a nure. Her happy smile ought to be enough medicine for her patients. It has cheered many of us many a time. HELEN F. HAYES Hockey 4: Commercial Club 4 Her face is like the milky way, in the sky, A meeting of gentle lights without a name. Helen certainly possesses a cheerful smile as well as a good disposition. Looking about the corridors one could usually find Helen laughing and talking. She is a fine hockey player. You surely will make an excellent nurse, Helen. DOROTHY S, HODGE Dot Commercial Club 2 Oh! world unknownf how charming is thy view, Thy pleasures many, and each pleasure new. Dot never talked very much, but we all wondered what thoughts were going on behind those twinkling eyes of hers. Her ambition is to :ee the world and we hope she'll send us a post card from China sometime. FLORA I. IDE The more the merrier Flora surely enjoys herself in West Swanzey with Margaret L. and her man-y friends. She is always jolly and making some wise crack and creating a lot of fun in Room 25. While you are in California this summer, why not go to Hollywood, Flora? LEWIS JOHNSON Johnnie Class Baseball 4: M. A. Club 3, 4 He was a ueray parfit gentil knight. Johnnie likes to play baseball. He is one cf those hard-working fellows who always gives the best he has. We are sure that you will make a success of whatever you attempt, Johnnie, and hope you will become a mechanic. MARION JOHNSON Kid Commercial Club 3, 4: Mu Delta Rho 3, 42 Le Cercle Francais 4 But Oh, she dances such a way! No sun upon an Easter day Is half so Ene a sight. Marion certainly can dance and we know that rome day her name will be among the bright lights of Broadway. Kid has a very attrac- tive personality. and is jolly and friendly. 28 will miss you, Marion. PEARL KELLEY Pal Mu Delta Rho 4: Commercial Club 4: Science Club 4 Is she not more than painting can express Or youthful poets fancy they? Pal certainly is full of fun and pep. We are always sure to enjoy ourselves when she is around. Although we hate to have you so far away, Pal, we hope that you reach Honolulu in your teaching career and if you really want to. we know you will get there some how. ELEANOR KEW Le Cercle Francais 4: Mu Delta Rho 4: Science Club 4: Orchestra 2,- 3, 4: Lincoln Medal 4 And, like another Helen, from another Troy. We know our winner of the LincoH1 Medal will be a famous architect some day. Eleanor looks very quiet and demure, but remember that appearances are sometimes deceiving. Here's success to you. Eleanor. On those travels which you wish to take, we are sure that you will win friends wherever 'you go. MARGARET LAFFOND Peggy The fair. the chaste, the unexpressive she. Margaret comes from West Swanzey, where she enjoys herself immensely with Flora. We surely do not approve of her hobby of driving automobiles through the hen house. As a teacher we know that she will be able, to drive the lessons straight home. We agree with Peggy that tennis is a very good sport. Don't fail to remember Normal, Peggy, MARGARET LAMOTHE Peg A great career is a dream of youth realized in mature age. Peg's hobby is driving a car or in other wo'ds passing all autos and missing all trees. She is a good sport and a fine friend. We envy your future pupils, Margaret. GEORGE LAGRENADE Joe Football 3, 4: M. A. Club 3. 4 Be bolde, Be bolde, and everywhere, Be bolde. Joe is one of our Trojans. He rendered some wonderful work for Keene High in foot- ball and deserves a great deal of credit. Joe is a fine fellow and will be long remembered by us. FLORENCE LANE Lanie Vice-President 1: Hockey 4: Basketball 2, 3, 4: Science Club 3: Commercial Club 3. 4: Mu Delta Rho 3. 4 So with thoughts my brain is peopled, And they sing there all day long. Along with I.anie's athletic achievements she remains a good and jolly friend to everyone. As her favorite amusement is dancing let's hope her horse doesn't get the same idea. Horseback riding is good exercise. Lanie -if you stay on the horse. ELMER MACKEY Mac Track 2, 3: Football 4 Officious, innocent, sincere: Of every friendless name the friend. Just because Mac lives in Fitzwilliam is no sign he is a farmer. We know that he will make a great success as an engineer. Mac, here's wishing you the best of luck in M. I. T. BARBARA MARTIN Barb Mu Delta Rho 4: Minstrels 1, 2. 3, 4: D. A. Club 3. 4 But you have made the wiser choice, A life that moves to gracious ends. A girl with a better disposition than Barb could not be found. She is always laughing, joking, and having a good time. We know you'll be a well-liked teacher, Barbs and we know you can teach your pupils whatever you set out to impart to them. ' ROBERT MCCLENNING Bob : Mac President 3: Baseball 3. 4: Year Book 2. 3 A good companion and as firm a friend. Bob is a very enjoyable classmate, and per- fectly deserving of the great honor which he has won. You are a very ambitious fellow. and we warn you Bob, beware of the wild fascin- ations of South America, for we know that if your greatest ambition is to go there you will surely succeed in visiting that far country. LENA MEDVIDOFSKY Medy A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck! Medy aspires to be a private secretary. Here's wishing the best for your aspirations, Lena. and we hope that your work will not keep you from occasionally being entertained by driving and tennis playing. EDWARD C. MERRILL Ed Year Book 4: Science Club 3, 4 Ay, every inch a king. We want to compliment Ed for the fine work, namely the artistic artisterations which he has done, for the year book. Ed wishes to be a Horist. We are sure if he can grow flowers, which are as good looking as his draw- ings, he will soon be on the road to fortune. WILLIAM I. MILLINGTON Bill Minstrels 1, 2, 3, 4: Plays I, 2, 3 I am sure care is an enemy to life. We wonder if there is anyone in school who does not know Bill -we don't believe there is. Bill is certainly wonderful in his hobby, acting, both in school and out. K. H. S. will certainly lose one of its best end men when Bill graduates. ROGER B. MITCHELL Mitch Class Basketball 2, 4: Latin Club 1: Science Club 3, 4 Welcome! We hail you to our class All welcome here you find: Here let the cloud of trouble pass Here be all care resigned. Mitch, is one of the bright lights of our class. Whenever things are pretty dull and blue, Roger always pulls us through with a wise crack. Mitchy. you will be missed at K. H. S. but we wish you success in your future work, and in your life at New Hampshire State. RUSSELL MITCHELL Russy Basketball 4: Science Club 4: Mu Delta Rho 4 A merrier man, within the limit becoming him, I never spent an hour's talk withal. Russy certainly is a line basketball player. He has helped build up the good reputation of K. H. S. in basketball. The class of nineteen twenty-eight is indeed grateful to him. We are sure that you will be a success in life at college. Rus, and wish you the best of luck. RAYMOND D. NASH Ray Class Baseball 4: Band 3. 4: Le Cercle Francais 4 My way is to begin with the beginning. Poor Ray, he fell so hard! Never mind Raymond, for a certain portion of '28 will long remember you as a prosecuting attorney. Here's success to you and your future! We sincerely hope you will become that specialist in motors. MILDRED L. NEAL Milly Commercial Club 3. 4 Be great in act, as you have in thought. Milly comes from Acworth where she can well watzh the works of nature. We all agree with her that she ought to go to some National Park after graduation, and sincerely hope she goes, for there is not much chance to watch the works of nature at Normal School, Don't for- get K. H. S. when you become a teacher. Mil- ly SONJA L. NILSON ' Le Cercle Francais 4: Latin Club 2: Science Club 3, 4 Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl chain of all virtues. Sonia plans to enter Peter Bent Brigham Hos- pital. If she takes nursing as seriously as she has her high school career, we would all be sure of good care from her as a nurse. Swimming and skating are two excellent amusements, but don't try both in the same season, Sonja. FRANCIS O'BRIEN Pat I had rather a fool to make me merry, Than experience to make me sad. From what we have seen in the French class we do not think Irish and French mix well to- gether except on rare occasions. However. Pat, you don't have, to speak French to be- come an electrical engineer. Good luck to you, 1-Patn! GEORGE ODETTE Minstrels 4 Character is worth a thousand laurels. George is always quiet and unassuming. These characteristics make us feel as though we really don't know him. However, we all know that George is a very clever artist. We expect great things from him. CLAYTON L. PERREAULT Cupid Football 3: Baseball 3 Cmanager 2, 35: Min- strel Show 1, 2. 3. 4 Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps. Clayton, you certainly would make an ideal Cupid, with your ambition, humor, and good nature. Cupid is sort of cast aside nowadays, ro business would probably be a little dull. Therefore, we suggest that you be a salesman for an International Company, for we know that you would be a good one. RUTH PHELPS Bill Orchestra l, 2, 3. 4: Latin Club 4: Science Club 4 Only the actions of the just smell sweet and blossom in the dust. Bill surely is a Whiz at Virgil. Ruth is a wonderful friend and a brilliant student, es- pecially in languages. We know she will make a fine French teacher and Middlebury is lucky to have her next year. NELLIE PICKERING Pick Neither rhyme nor reason can express how much. Pick is one of our quiet modest girls and we never hear her say much. We know, how- ever, that her patients will apprefiate her quiet smile. We wish you the best of luck. Pick, and hope that you will enjoy traveling through Africa, as a missionary. WILLIAM PROPERZIO Bill And feel that I am happier than I know. Bill you surely have us all baffled with that winning smile. Anytime you happen to meet or see Bill he is either joking or smiling. A jolly chap! Bill ' loves to work in the M. A. Shop, and is now going to learn a trade. A worthy desire. Bill. SHIRLEY E. RANDEL Year Book 4: Vice President 2: Le Cercle Francais 4 She's beautiful, and therefore to be wooed, She is a woman, therefore to be won. We of the year book committee. certainly ap- preciate all that Shirley has done for us in mak- ing this year's Salmagundi what it is. This work, however. has not seemed to interfere with her studies. Her skating ability must have helped her glide through her classes for we find she is among the honor students. Someone surely will be most fortunate in securing Shirley for a private secretary. GLADYS REED A quiet maiden whom we do not feel that we have discovered the light hidden under the bushel. Gladys you are missed at K. H. S. You were always very studious, and a good associate. We feel that we hardly know you for you were always a woman of few words. We know not your ambitions, but we sincerely hope you will achieve them. PAUL E. RIVERS ff Perseuerance wins success. Paul is a most industrious M. A. Student. We know that if he continues his good work in life, as well as he has begun, he will come out on top. So long Paul-a business man to be. AUBREY W. ROGERS Huck There is honesty in manhood, and good fellowship in thee. Aubrey we sincerely hope will achieve his highest ambition, that of being a journalist at some future date. We would advise him, how- ever, not to try to write for French papers for we fear the Frenchman would hardly appreciate his somewhat muddled French idioms. When he becomes a journalist we hope he will not lose his love for sports. JANET M. ROUSSEAU Jan Commercial Club 2: Science Club 3, 4: Le Cercle Francais 4 A smile for all, a welcome glad, a jovial coaxing way she had. Jan always keeps us in the best of spirits with her jolly humor. She is very gifted as a typist. We hope that you will be able, Jan, to fulhll your ambition to travel. ILMI H. SAARI Science Club 3. 4: President Latin Club 4: Secretary Mu Delta Rho 3, 4: Enterprise 3. 4: Year Book 4: Debating Team, Captain 4 Honest labour bears a lovely face. Ilmi has shown fine school spirit in this school and it would have been impossible for us to get along without her. She certainly worked, hard for the Year Book and Enterprise. She is also a fine debater. We hope you will be able to enter Wellesley, I1mi. FRANKLIN SAFFORD Fond of dates as an Arab. Although Franklin has left school, we feel that he belongs to the class of '28. We are certain that he was a favorite among the girls and we are sure he was liked among the boys. As we have no definite information. but as we are fair guessers. and observers, we gather that Franklin's favorite amusement was, having a good time. PAULINE. A. SARGENT Pop Secretary Z: Baseball 2, 3, 4: Minstrel Show l, 2, 3, 4: Senior Play 3, 4 Whose little body edged a mighty mind. Pop surely has won a place in our hearts. We shall never think of her without remember- ing that artistic interior decoration work she did for us. Her stage work has made her well- known in all school circles. We are sure she will be a splendid teacher. as well as a perfect typist. CHARLOTTE A. SCRIPTURE Chin: Surry A quiet person-except when otherwise. Chi is another fair ma-id from out of town. She has been a worthy classmate of ours. We know she will be a good faculty member some- day. N. H. U. is lucky to have her included in its enrollment. She is going to be an English teacher some day. Will you teach your pupils your favorite card game, Chi? ELIZABETH SLOCOMBE Betty Ah! Let's see-oh, one of those blonde queens. She is also one of our athletes-well, there's a very good reason for her success-It's always certain but perfectly natural that whenever you see Betty in sight, there is a certain Bill not far away. K. H. S. will surely miss you, but perhaps someday will be able to welcome you back as a physical training instructor. A girl to know and a girl worth while. EDWARD P. SMALL, JR. Ed Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4 1t is well to conjoin music and medicine, for the office of medicine is out to tune the curious harp of man's body. Ed is used to keeping time, both in West Keene, and in the K. H. S. Orchestra, and he hopes to continue doing so in his medical ca- reer, feeling people's pulses. You ought to find a girl in France. so you could write her some of your very original French compositions. When you become a successful doctor, make a Free of charge visit to I-I. S. JAMES SMALL Jim Football 1: Mechanic Arts Club 2 Is this that haughty gallant gay Lothario? Jim is a good scout even if he does hail from the great Swanzey Center, where the tall build- ings grow. Well, Jim, we hope you make as many friends in business as you have among the girls in K. H. S, ROBERT RONALD SMITH Smithy Mechanic Arts Club 2, 3, 4 I shall be like that tree, I shall die at the top. Smithy, we have known you as a willing worker and a very loyal classmate. You will surely soar above us when you become an air mail pilot. We hope you won't neglect com- pletely the old autos for the aeroplanes. LYNWOOD SNOW Snowie Mechanic Arts Club 2, 3, 4 Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. So does Snowie. It is too bad, Snowie. that you did not take the Commercial Course and thus be able to go to the social functions of that club. We hear that you have your mind all ret for becoming a machinist, so here's wishing you the best of luck. ELLIS SPAULDING Steamboat Class Basketball 2: Orchestra 2, 3: Science Club 3, 4: Year Book 3, 4 The noblest mind the best contentment has. Ellis is one of those far-famed scholars and a regular shark in his studies. But besides study- ing, Ellis always finds some time to devote to club activities. as well as to his orchestral work. You are a splendid chap and we are all proud of you, Ellis. We wish you the best of suc- cess at Worcester Tech! i TI-IELMA E. SPRING Spuds Commercial Club 4 To know her well is to like her better. Does Spuds appear to be solemn and quiet? Ask her friends, and they will tell you what a good sport she is. During her senior year. she has usually been found in the office taking dic- tation or typewriting, so'if we are any prophets at all, she will be an A-l stenographer. PAULINE S. SWEET Sweetie Basketball 3: Baseball 4 The noblest mind the best contentment has. Sweetie is led on to ambition by the thoughts of the uniform of a nurse. We are willing to wager, however. that the allurement of dancing will take possession of her and lead her off. once in a while, for a few glorious hours. CHARLES W. TAYLOR Buck M. A. Club l, 2, 3, 4 O When fortune means to men most good, She looks upon them with a threatening eye. Charles is another of the Swanzey bad men or. at least, that's what the English teacher seems to think when Buck's oral themes are due. Don't worry. Charles, you don't have to give oral themes to skate, ski, or become a me- chanic. Good luck, Charles! MABEL ANNA THOMPSON Tommy Science Club 4: Commercial Club 3, 4 Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep. Tommy is one of those silent girls who doesn't say much, but yet she has always man- aged to show the teachers, as well as all others, that she is able to secure fine marks. We have all certainly enjoyed your companionship. Tommy. Best of luck to you! VIOLA N. THOMPSON Vi Science Club 4: Commercial Club 3, 4 Good sense which is always and only a gift of Heaven. Vi's appeared to us as being always pleas- ant and friendly, and ready to do a favor for some one at any time. She surely is a shark and a gleaming light in her shorthand class. We know she will be a success at whatever she at- tempts. Don't spend too much time with that radio, Vi. RICHARD O. UPTON Dick M. A. Club 2, 3, 4 An honest tale speeds rest, being plainly told. We believe Richard, although he claims Nel- son as his'place of residence, really lives in an auto as much as in a house. Well, Dick, you have been a jolly-good classmate and we're going to miss tremendously that Buick parked on the common. We expect when you travel in the West you will hunt bigger game than foxes, per- haps a Deer, --who knows? JOHN E. WALSTROM Johnnie't Science Club 3: Enterprise 3, 4: Debating 4 His absence from his mother oft he'll mourn. And, with his eyes, look wzshes to return. Well, John, you certainly worked hard in your studies and we think, if you can keep your mind away from Bertha long enough you will succeed in anything you undertake. Johnnie's favorite amusement is enjoying Saturdays. Sun- days, and Holidays. He keeps his greatest ambi- tion a secret, but whatever it is, we are sure he will succeed, if he puts as much effort into it as he does into his debating work. DORIS G. WARNER Squeaky Science Club 4: D. A. Club 3. 4 I'll speak in a monstrous little voice. Doris is one of the smallest in size in our class. But when we discover all her friendliness and jollity, we wonder how it is all crowded in one such a small person. We wish her success as a dietitian, and hope she will be able to still satisfy her desires for auto riding and camping. FREDA N, WHEELER Roxy Obtained letter for Orchestra 1: Mu Delta Rho 4: Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4: Commercial Club 3, 4 Her voice was ever soft, Gentle, and low,--an excellent thing in a wo- man. Freda is one of the most loyal friends and classmates that we have had the pleasure of knowing. We shall never forget the debt we owe her for all the music which she contributed to the orchestra. The Prince and Freda would be good friends, they both like horseback riding. HOWARD E. WHEELOCK Sheik g Duke Enterprise 4: Minstrels 2, 3, 4: Science Club 3, 4: School Play 4 'Tis grievous parting with good company. Although Howard is always ready with a good argument in history and is bound to op- pose the rest of his classmates during this per- iod. none of us find him very Barb Wi---red or disagreeable. Howard, we shall miss you and your sheiky hat, but N. H. U. has next claim on you, so good luck when you become a novelist. MILDRED B. WHIPPLE Millu Le Cercle Francais 4: Science Club 3. 4: Bas- ketball l. 2. 3. 4: Hockey 3: Track 1, 2, 3. 4 They win that lauahf' Wherever you see Lanie. Millv. is some- where near. She is always full of life and pep. Her merrv laugh will always ring in our ears. She has already proven to us her great liking for sports and we know Mount Holyoke will profit thereby. She hopes to be a dean of a college. and cheer up many a weary student with her smiles. Let's go. BARBARA P. WILBER Barbs Vice-President l: Secretary 3: Basketball 1, 2, 3. 4: Hockey 4: Public Speaking Cup 3: Enterprise 3, 4: Year Book 4 She's here, I hear her giggle. Barbs. having during her four years, taken part in almost every activity, is one of the most popular girls in school. She can fmd good jokes as well as she can play tennis. K. H. S. will certainly miss you, Barbara, and we are certain Wheaton will find you an excellent student. BEATRICE A WILCOX Be So well to know Her own, that what she wills to do or say Seems wisest, virtuous discreetest, best. Be is one of our hard-working ambitious Class-members. She is also a member of our debating class. and we are sure anyone could be convinced by her arguments and winning ways. We wish you the best of luck. as a teacher, Be, although we suggest that you teach coquetry and then we can assure you of success. Yes. Be, walking to West Keene is a worthwhile hobby and we hope you will always continue to enjoy it. ERNEST J. WOODBURY Spike l am one of those gentle ones that will use the devil himself with courtesy. Spike claims his favorite amusement is do- ing math and that his hobby is cutting public speaking. We are somewhat in doubts as to the former but assume the latter is right. By the way, Spike, you aren't another of those '-'Troy sheiks are you? BERTHA WRIGHT Bert How far that little candle throws her beams. Bertha is hardly ever seen unless Freda is with her. Bert surely has a smile and wav that conquers us all. If you like horseback riding so well, Bert, you have surely chosen the right place to settle. One could hardly ask for a bet- ter place than South Dakota for equine en- vironment. CARL O. WRIGHT Chip He's a quiet fellow-sometimes. Chip's another fellow from out of town. Long will his humorous remarks and stories remain in our memory. We know that before long, if his ambitions come true, he will be a superintendent over some large mine. Don't forget K. H. S. when you've mined a million in diamonds Chip. NORMAN WRIGHT Norm : Baron Mu Delta Rho 3, 4: Science Club 3. 4: Le Cercle Francais 4 Of soul sincere, In action faithful and honor clear We believe that the teachers like Norm im- mensely although they always have to look up to him. If Norm doesn't stop shooting up towards Old Sol, he'll never be able either to vote or to enter public telephone booths. Norm's favorite pastime is tennis, which he plays once in two years, but we have never seen him play with the opposite sex. Is it be- cause the score might be 2-O? We wonder. ELMER WYMAN Mechanic Arts Club 2, 3, 4 If silence were golden, I'd be a miIIionaire. Even if Elmer doesn't say much in class, what he does say hits the nail on the head every time. For this we feel sure, that, although a little fellow, he is going to make a big name for himself one of these days. Don't go to the moving pictures too much, you know it is very bad for your eyes. DAVID NICHOLS Dave Science Club 4 A proper man as one should see in a summer's day. Dave is one of those calm and steady sort of chaps who never says much but at any time is always ready to help some one else. You will always be remembered by us as a very fine and true pal. Here's Wishing you luck, David! -N. E H Q '1 QS? SEV QW, fri ' I 'e ff 14 '-9 SMD . X 4 S-5-I iq' N-v.5.h if Z ' QP.: X .WS ff df?

Wright Gilbert .H. Wyman Phyllis L. Wyman lass ill We, the class of 1928, being of sound mind and disposing memory do hereby make. publish and declare this, our last will and testament hereby revoking all former wills, bequests and devises of whatever nature made by us.

Page 49 School Events The first event of the school year, the Freshman Reception, was held in the school gymna- sium on the night of October eighth, ninteen hundred and twenty seven. A committee of seniors with Karl Bruder at its head. decorated the gymnasium to represent a rose garden. Later, the committee was congratulated by the school board for the pains it took and the results obtained. Mr. Smith welcomed the freshmen and Martin Powers gave his speech of welcome. Chester Tobias, the freshman president, responded to the welcome. Following the speeches, an enter- tainment was presented. William Millington and Clayton Perreault gave a vocal duet entitled, Me and My Shadow. Bill then did a clog dance. Miss Geraldine Mason read a selection and Miss Rebecca Nims finished the program with an interpretation of the Grecian Dance. The receiving line was formed and the juniors and seniors introduced freshmen to the faculty and to the class officers. Immediately after the receiving line the grand march came. After dancing until eleven-thirty everyone felt that the first social event of the year had been indeed a success. Keene High students scored another success in the annual Minstrel Show on Thanksgiving evening at the City Hall. Howard Wheelock, the interlocutor, was greatly to be commended. The end men, through their joking and singing, made a hit with the audience. Bill Millington was very good in singing The More We Are Together. and was encored several times. Other songs pleasingly rendered were Gonna Get a Girl, Dew, Dew, Dewy Day, The Dummy Line, and Dawn of Tomorrow. The chorus showed itself to be very well trained. The second part was composed of several acts. Miss Marjorie Woodbury opened it with a reading for which she was encored. An orchestra, composed of Edward Small, Gordon Ayer, William Gibson. and Clarence Kline, entertained with popular music. The third act was a tumbling and pyramid one given by twenty-four girls of the gym classes. Then, Charles Whitcomb and Michael Crocker gave a Blackface farce. The show wound up very fittingly with the K. H. S. Band playing a few selections and closing with the Orange and the Black. The success of the affair was largely due to Mr. Damon, Mr. Davis, the faculty, the Senior Committee, and the rc estra. On January 21, a dance in the gymnasium was held by the clubs. Kline's Orchestra furn- ished the music. A couple of novelty dances added much to the amusement of the evening. On Friday, April 20, the school play So This is London was presented at the City Hall. Music was furnishd by the school orchestra. Howard Wheelock as Hiram Draper, Jr. played his part to perfection and Barbara Wilber as Elinor Beauchamp was a very fitting heroine. Mary Eyers as Lady Amy Ducksworth was well suited for her role. Richard Newton and Paul- ine Sargent, as Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Draper, pleased everyone with their interpretations of those characters. Ralph Huse as Sir Percy Beauchamp portrayed his part of an English Lord in a very admirable way. Mildred Whipple as Lady Beauchamp also did well. The minor parts were taken by Robert Greene, Don Cook, Harry Dial, and Karl Bruder. The play was coached by Mr. Damon. A senior committee was in charge of the costumes and properties. The Junior-Senior Prom will be a fitting close for the series of very much enjoyed social events.

THE ORANGE AND THE BLACK Although Yale has always favored, The Violet's dark blue, And the gentle sons of Harvard To the crimson rose are true, We will own the lillies slender, No honor shall they lack, While Keene High stands defender Of the Orange and the Black. Through the four long years of school life, Mid the scenes we love so well, And the mystic charm to knowledge, We so vainly seek to spell, As we win athletic victories, On the football Held and track, Still we'll work for dear old Keene High, And the Orange and the Black. I' fr 5' 1' 54 -an-u BAND The Keene High School Band is now an established organization in our school life. The dream of its backers, The Rotary Club, has come true. Under the efficient tutorship and leadership of Mr. Beedle, the band has progressed from a class of music pupils to a group of accomplished musicians. All possible praise should be given to Mr. Beedle who gave unsparingly of his time and effort. The band has made several public appearances and, has brought due credit to itself and its leader. Page 1 DEBATING In the fall twleve members of the three upper classes formed a class to study debtaing under Miss Belknap. The technicalities and etiquette of debating were taken up and several class debates held. 'l'wo main debates were held on the questions of control over trans-oceanic flying, and the practice of installment buying. A Hrst team consisting of the following people was chosen: llmi Saari, John Walstrom, and Karl C. Bruder with Dorothy lfarr as alternate. The team made its lirst and only public appearance in Keene against Brattleboro High School on the question Resolved: That a federal department of education with a secretary in the presidents cabinet should be established. Keene won by a vote of two to one. ' l't1A1,'w 56 SO THIS IS LONDON Resume of Plol Hiram Draper, who has absolutely no use for England, goes to England to buy a shoe factory. While on the voyage his son meets the daughter of the owner of the shoe factory. The owner's identity is, however, unknown. Sir Percy, as he is called, is as bitter toward America as Draper is toward England. The two young people become very much infatuated with each other. The two men meet at the home of Lady Ducksworth who has played the part of the go-between for the two young people, The whole truth becomes known, and of course, the business is consummated and the two countries are reconciled.

Since the Christmas recess the club has been divided into three seztionsz that of clocution. debating, and drama. Meetings have been held under the direction of these divisions: readings under the elocution department, a debate contributed by the debating section, and it is hoped a one act play will be given by the dramatic division. Page 58 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The aim of the Home Economics Club. Upsilon Epsilon Omicron. is to promote the interests of the Home Economics Course in the school and community. During the school year, the club has draped the sewing and dining rooms at the Academy House and is planning to place curtains at the windows of the kitchen laboratory as soon as the room has been painted. Class socials in the form of entertaining projects were sponsored by the club. The club has its business meeting the hrst Thursday of each month and its social meeting the third Monday evening of each month.

The Club's aim is education and not social. Technical books, and magazines have been added this year to the growing library. Days for club meetings have been second and fourth Thursdays of each month. The club has been fortunate in securing speakers well informed in the technical and edu- cational Helds. As an incentive for better work, two prizes have been given to members of the freshman class taking Mechanic Arts, the first for the best work in mechanical drawing, and the second for the best specimen of shopwork. The annual trips of the upper classes to industrial plants have been arranged for, but as this goes to print have not yet been taken. There are at present about ninetyffive members consisting of students of the three upper classes taking the Mechanic Arts curriculum. OFFICERS Faculty Advisors - MR. TUIITS AND MR.

CARROLL LOWE UTEH Y THE HISTORY OF SALMAGUNDI The word Salm'agundi was originally the Latin word salmaga which means pickles. Now the question which I know is in your mind is, What has 'pickles' to do with the Year Book published by the Keene High School? Here is, to the best of my ability, what might be termed the genealogy of the word Sal- magundif' As stated above it was first the Latin for pickles. However, when the French language sprang up, the Frenchman formed from the Latin a word salmigondis meaning a mixture of chopped meat or pickled herrings Cpickled is the key word which connects it to the Latinj and onions which is in the language of today plain hash. It was from this last definition that Johnson formed his literary definition of Salmagundi which he declared to be a hodge-podge of various ingredients. This definition was taken by Washington Irving and he named some of his essays, Salmagundi. Thus, has the name of Salmagundi come down through the ages to serve ut of the Keene High School as a fitting and dignified title to our annual Year Book. - -E. R. Spaulding, '28, GETTING A BETTER SLANT AT OURSELVES When the patient Chinaman wants to make a perfect sphere of crystal or jade, he first chips the piece as nearly round as he can with a small hammer. Then, placing half a dozen or more like these in a leather bag, he patiently shakes them hour after hour, day after day. know- ing that the constant friction of one against another will make them all round and ready for polishing. High schools are the leather bags in which we are jostled, one against another. That a greater rounding out of the life of each of us is accomplished cannot be denied. and that friction one with another-that jostling about-certainly has a great influence and weighs heavily in the process of filling out our characters. A student living in a world all by his lonesome cannot possibly have the conceit or love for himself to think he can make an ideal of himself, having escaped the evils of this jazz age. - More than that lovely world of dreams is required. We must get the opinions of others. We should converse with older people. We should not be too timid to ask a question or two on something we do not quite understand. If we don't ask, where will the knowledge come from? Not from books, rest assured. Criticism is a harsh implement. vet can be used to a good advantage if used within means. To use it to the extent of Samuel Johnson would be absurd, but the criticisms of students be- tween students is an advantage to us all. If we are capable of being jostled about as were the Chinaman's precious spheres. if We can accept criticisms as well and as cheerfully as we can give them, we certainly will get a better slant of that all important us. -Ralph N. Huse, '29, THE NECESSITY OF BEING AMUSED Generally speaking, Being amused is a most pleasing thing, and as a matter of fact. one of the most necessary things in my twelve years of school. I cannot stretch my imagination far enough to see myself sitting in a classroom for one whole period without getting at least one good laugh, either through some playful fellow student's pranks, or through a careless mistake by a classmate. For me to do this would be ,iust like playing with dynamite, for one quiet period would Wreck my whole nervous system. If at any time the class is without life, or nothing of a humorous nature has been said or done, there comes a time in every student's life when his motto is Amuse yourself by amusing others. To say that this has been my motto would be used as incriminating evidence against myself. However, that time has come and gone several times with me in school life, which from the viewpoint of the faculty is several times too many. With the advent of leather heels, the necessity of being amused has been slightly on the decrease, due to the fact that the noise made by one person walking around the room is dupli- cated by every other owner of leather heels. Emulating from every normal boy's mind is a creative genius known as mischief, which often brings out hidden grins and muffled laughs from the faculty, who upon investigating, discover the perpetrator sublimely toiling over his daily lessons. Precisely spoken, Pupils will come and pupils will go but amusement goes on forever. -Roger Mitchell, '28, Wage 66 THE TRAIL BLAZERS OF THE SKY A year ago this spring, in the month of May to be exact, a tall, modest young aviator, then unknown to all except his friends and associates, came out of the West to New York. From Mitchell Field, in New York, this heroic and courageous young man hopped off on what turned out to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, aeroplane flight ever made by man. That flight as everyone knows was the great flight of Linbergh's, from New York to Paris. Books, periodicals, newspapers and magazine articles by the hundreds have been written about this great flight and Lindbergh, the pilot. A few weeks later while Lindbergh was being admired and praised by the people of Europe, another famous aviator started with his crew from the same field from which Lindbergh took off. His objective was the same as Lindbergh's. This group of courageous men was headed by Charles A. Levine, who was tl-c chief backer of the trip. His chief pilot was Clar- ence D. Chamberlain. The plane used 'fi this flight was a large one-very much larger than Lindbergh's. Although this group of airmen did not reach their objective, they flew farther than any airship has flown in one flight. . Just a few weeks later in the latter r-art of the month, Commander Richard E. Byrd and four companions started out in a plane, sti'l larger than the one used by Levine. He also fol- lowed the route blazed by Lindbergh to Le Bourget Field, Paris. This flight nearly ended in disaster, for after flying for many hours, the crew reached France but it was so foggy that a landing in Paris was impossible. After flying for nearly four hours over the field at Paris, Commander Byrd by his wonderful knowledge of navigation pointed the large ship westward toward New York and started back for the coast, where the plane was forced down off the coast of a little fishing village. The crew were able to paddle to safety by means of a collapsi- ble rubber craft recently invented. Here the great scientist and skillful airman, Commander Byrd. saved his crew and himself from possible disaster. The summer wore on. On a hot, sultry August day two more pioneers of the air started for England from Harbor Grace, New Foundland, and here again the flyers were successful. But like every other new venture, some people must have to pay the penalty of pioneer life. The Colonists. when they came to this country, had to endure many hardships before they succeeded. The pioneers or frontiersmcn of '48 had to go through many hardships and suffer- ings before they were rewarded and many, many lives were sacrificed. So with aviation, a great many pioneers of the air have gone either to a watery grave in the cruel ocean or to God knows where. Nine persons have started from this country to attempt the trans-oceanic flight and have not been heard of since. These brave pioneers gave up their lives that aviation might go forward, just as their fathers and forefathers gave up their lives that this country might advance. Europe also has its pioneers of the air. Not until this spring has the Atlantic been con- quered in a flight from the European side to'the American continent. It was a clear cool day in the month of April when the German Junkers plane the Bremen started on its triumnhal flight to America. Piloted by two Germans and one Irish- man, this plane, forced down after all its gas was used. landed on a bleak and storm-swept island known as Greenly Isle. The flyers remained on the island nearly two weeks before they were able to continue to New York they had hoped to make in a non-stop flight. Many more flights to span the atlantic have already been planned and before many years trans-atlantic air-mail ani passenger service will be common occurrences. -Madison, '29. GHOSTS Hoot owls screeching in distant pine-trees: Weird north-wind whirring through leafless branches, Dusky shadows lengthened by glimmering moon, And strange remembrances of past errors. Hallucination. White phantoms advancing with deathly stealth, Dim ogres and long, outstretching fingers. Flickering lamps midst strange and blustering breezes, An icy hand-a baleful eye- A --Unconsciousness. -Martin C. Powers, '28. Page 67 AFTER HIGH SCHOOL-WHAT? There are but few of us who cannot remember that glorious day in September when for the first time in our lives we began another school year-Freshmen for the first time, proud and young. For four long years we go through familiar scenes. overcoming obstacles, gaining victories. tasting the joy of school life, and increasing our knowledge daily. Many of our number are unable to adjust themselves in this new environment and to grasp things as rapidly as others. But if they are really persevering, this is no disgrace and they will find the extra year pays. even though it may cause heartache and worry for both the pupil and the parents. What are we planning for during these years? What are we studying for? XVhy are we prying into the mysteries of the heavens and earth, conjugating French verbs, and translating Czsar and Virgil, learning innumerable historical dates, and vigorously studying the English language? What use are we going to make of the knowledge of home building and care? Are we typing out words and taking dictation as fast as our fingers can fly and our minds can think. for nothing? Are we asking ourselves. What profession shall I choose, what am I most fitted for, what school shall I go to, and what shall I do after graduation? If we are not. let us stop a minute and take stock of .our abilities and desires, and ask ourselves, After High School-What? Let us remember that most of our folks are working hard to educate us. Many of us, perhaps, are working after school. Are we attending High School only to have a good time? No, of course we are not. Don't wait until graduation is drawing near. as too many do, to plan a profession or decide what school you are going to but think ahead, After High School-What? -Elizabeth Dustan, '29, A STUDENT'S REVERIE I think I'll buy myself a car. A Studebaker would be nice., I'm not quite sure, but think my choice Or else perhaps a Dodge Coupe: Will center on a new Rolls Royce. I'd even like a Chevrolet. 'Twill be a car that's long and fast, Or perhaps I will take none of these. I do not like a car that's slow, They say the new Ford's pretty nifty: I must go quickly, where I go. And the payment down is only fifty. It need not be a foreign bus, There's lots of Used Cars one could buy, For my desires I could sate A little down, a year to pay. With just a nice big Packard Eight. Just sign your name and drive away. It might be just a Cadillac' I know where I can buy a flivver, Or Peerless, really I don't care, Not much to look at, that I know, A Pierce-Arrow or Wills St. Claire. But the motor's there, and. it will go. I think I'd like a Buick sport, The junk man wants just twenty bucks: Or Marmon Sports are all the rage, It's labeled Just another Gnash: A Hudson, Essex, or a Paige. I'd buy it if I had the cash. -Marion Johnson, '28. MY WATCH What keeps the time as the hours go on? It many happy days has seen, What keeps the time from dusk 'til dawn? And many distant places been, Tho' days and weeks may come and go, And 'tho I may be sad or gay, What goes the same? not fast or slow. I can depend on it each day. My Watch. My Watch. What object ticks the time away It seems, tho', that my watch must hide Unceasingly from day to day? A record. all stored up inside. What tells the time to sleep and eat? A grand event, a place sublime, What keeps the time with measure beat? And it was there to keep the time. My Watch. -Ernest J. Bissell, '30. P a g e 68 ' TIN FOIL Billy had just left college, and was accustoming himself to his new position as junior member of his father's haberdashery, William Trevell Inc. Of course, Billy was enthused over his position and being worldly wise, for he had an A. B. from Yale, he set about renovating the old methods of the store. It was silly, he thought to adhere faithfully to tradition. The first position he took upon himself was that of advertising manager and immediately bills poured into William Sr.'s office. With no remarkable increase of trade the elder member of the firm immediately banished this idea. Was Billy abashed? I should say not! He immediately took it upon himself to improve the window displays. Bills came pouring in for all sorts of window decorating equipment and Billy was promptly summoned to his father's office. Now see here. young man, started Mr. Trevell, I don't mind your testing new ideas but can't you do it more economically? Dad, you know that's impractical. Anyone knows that. ' So you claim to know more than your dad, eh? You think your half-year's experience outshines my twenty-five? No Dad, I don't. But I can and I will prove that statement I just made. And I suppose it's going to cost me about four or five hundred dollars. Well as a matter of fact, it would take about a thousand. I leave to your imagination the scene which followed. However, could you have seen Billy's face as he left the office, you would have been sure that he had won. For the next few weeks, mystifying advertisements directed the people's attention to Wil- liam Trevell Inc. Finally, the bubble broke. On Monday morning the largest crowd the city had ever seen about a store window assembled around the curtain-hung, northern window of the haberdashery. Promptly at eight the curtains parted. The crowd gasped and then pushed forward trying to believe what they saw. There, on a velvet draped pedestal was a huge, cut-glass bowl filled with hundreds of silver dollars. Above it was the explanation: CAN YOU GUESS THE WEALTH IN THIS BOWL? WITH EVERY ONE DOLLAR PURCHASE WE WILL GIVE ONE GUESS. IN THE SOUTHERN WINDOW ARE THE PRIZES OFFERED FOR THE CLOS- EST GUESS. THE CONTEST ENDS IN TWO WEEKS! Did business pick up? Well I guess! New clerks were added to the force and innumer- able ballots were cast. Mobs gathered each night to gaze at the dollars glittering under the lights. It was the night before the results of the contest were to be determined. Billy had left the money in the window for the benefit of the late theatre crowds. At twelve o'clock, one hour later than usual, he went to the store to put the money in the safe. A few minutes later, he was chuckling over the success of his venture, but he stopped abruptly. When he woke up the Iirst thing he saw was the stern features of his father's face. Are you all right, son? Yes, Dad, Billy said ruefully, rubbing a bump on his head. Seeing that his son was all right, his father changed from an anxious parent to a disgusted partner. Well, I hope you're satisfied. Why, Dad, what's the matter? What's the matter? Good Lord, you were knocked over the head with an iron pipe and- ridden of nine hundred silver dollars. That's what's the matter. Hereafter, you lis-. What are you laughing at? Oh, Dad, this is rich, after which William Jr. went into fits of laughter. This is no laughing matter, son. We've been robbed of nearly a thousand dollars, don't you realize that? Of course I do, only the thieves were foiled. Foiled? Yes, in fact, they were tin-foiled. Then more laughter. Billy, will you please explain? Well Dad, you know how you howled when I wanted to take that extra art course at college? That just saved you one thousand dollars. One phase of the course was modeling. All of those dollars were tin foil molded around clay and your real ones that I intended to dis- play to-morrow are in the safe. 1 Oh! said Billy again rubbing his head, that must have been a hard p1pe. -Karl C.Bruder,' 28. Page 59 BILLY'S POEM ON SPRING - My English teacher says if I want to pass my course, I've got to write a poem-heck-.i poem on Spring. Can't say l'm much on poetry. Never wrote any yet. Never liked it since Ma used to tell me how Mary had a little lamb. But if I don't pass my English course l'll have to reckon with Dad, so here goes. l'll blossom into a poet. Wonder, how l'll begin, let's see. I remember something that sounds poetical. l'll start with that and finish it out. April Showers bring forth May flowers-- Yes, perhaps they do but they also bring forth mud and I get that on my shoes. Then 1 go into the house, then get the dickens for tracking mud, Then I have to clean it up. Guess l can't get poetry out of that thought. l'll have to try another. The green grass is peeping through the ground. Oh gee! I forgot. Dad told me if I didn't pick up all the paper and bones and old sticks that are on the lawn before he got home tonight, I couldn't leave the yard for a week. No poetry in grass. Well here goes again. How fresh and clean all nature seems-- Yes, the house is clean too, Ma's housecleaning and I have to help wash windows and if I get one speck of dirt in the room she hollers- Here, don't you know l've worked all day to get this room clean? No, there's no poetry in being fresh and clean. The appletrees are budding into bloom- Yes, and Saturday afternoons when I've planned to go fishing, I know Pa'll make me stay home and help him spray the trees so the worms won't get into the blossoms and so spoil the apples. Well. there may be something in spring that would make a poem. To me it just means work and trouble. Wonder what our teacher can see in it to write poems about. Probably he's in love. They say in spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. Well, it may make some folks teel poetical to see those couples strolling up and down the streets but it don't me. I just want to throw things at them. They look so silly. There! l do believe that's it. Poetry's silly, and so is love, so l'll write on l.ove. In spring the loving couples spoon Beneath the shining silver moon, But all that I can see in spring, That really counts for anything, Is going fishing in the pool And getting near the end of school. VISIONS As I sat down to study Very much against my will, I thought of things I'd like to do,- Perhaps climb yonder hill. Thus, my thoughts seemed to wander And study I could not, My mind became quite hazy And wouldn't function as it ought. Quite suddenly it grew night time And I stood upon the hill. How quiet was the evening! How nice and dark and still! Then I heard a far off tinkling , Just like a tiny bell, And music floated towards me, From where. I could not tell. Then the sweet perfume of roses Seemed to fill the very air: And into my startled vision Flew fairies from everywhere. Such beauteous dainty creatures As they danced in the moonlight beams! But all at once they vanished. I awoke-alas-a dream: -Mary Eyers, '29 Page 70 -Emily Watson, '30, THE I-IAUNTED HOUSE Across the street from our high school, There is a little brick house, I know not whether the people fool, But they say it has many a mouse. And at midnight, when the clock strikes twelve, The ghosts and spirits appear To see the dance of the little elves Who, though small, know nothing to fear. Once a small girl and boy Went to this house of fear, The girl was very frightened But shed not a single tear. They ascended the creaky staircase With a very stealthy tread, Only to hear a patter of footsteps And a pounce upon the bed. The girl was very frightened. But her brother made her consent To follow him into the bedroom, So into that room they went. There on the bed there sat- Oh! Horrors! what do you think? The tiniest little cat, As black as the blackest ink. -Charlotte Bedaw, '31. A PERSIAN RUG Handsome knights, mounted on the best steeds Persia could produce, galloped down the road toward the village. They were officers of the king and fairly shone in all their regal linery. I-led, yellow, and royal purple doublets hid heavy swords. Handsome plumes swayed gently in the breeze. These young knights were of the best ancestry and physical beauty to be found but on their faces was a look of discontent. scorn, and dissatisfaction. On and on they rode. looking only at intervals around them. thinking doubtless, of the fair ladies, dazzling lights, and elegant banquets which they had left behind. Suddenly. one of these men espied a handsome horse, far more wonderful than that on which he was riding. Ha, I'll do well to take this for myself, laughed the foremost one with curling lips and haughty features. The knights rode swiftly toward the horse which with frightened eyes watched them approach. Suddenly, a flaxen-haired, blue-eyed girl appeared, and immediately the horse recognized her sweet voice which rang out on the stillness of the evening air like little silver bells. Oh!HMy own Prince! How I want to see my father! You'll never leave me will you? But, as if to contradict her very words, the horsemen came to the spot where the maiden stood, her arms flung around the beautiful arched neck of her beloved horse. Does this animal belong toyou, my pretty one? asked the leader in a careless voice. Yes, sir, he is mine, all mine. and the girl clung closer to her Prince. Come, there, and hand over the horse, which is too good for a peasant, went on the harsh voice. ' Surely you will not take away everything? Prince is all I have left, and she began to weep as if her heart would break. As one of the men moved closer, however, she stood straight, her eyes blazing and her voice filled with scorn and hatred. A King, indeed, who prides himself on the love of his people! Long have 1 endured all hardships at the hands of the King's followers and men of his court. Oh! How I should like to see the proud standard of the King and court dragged low in the dust. His officials are heartless, cruel men of whom I have never known any good. Sirs, take my horse, if you will, as you have taken my position and my home, and far worse, as you have taken my dear father, but you can not remove my contempt and my hatred for the King and his followers in court. Saying this, she dashed like some hunted animal into the surrounding woods. 'Twill only be a short time that the King will rule this land, if only she knew it. said the foremost man. With the King busy with war it will be easy to gain possession of the throne. After we come back from our short journey, we will meet Sir Pembroke and his followers near the small village of Winstead. There will we finish our plans. Saintly, bah!- But I claim the animal. They led the horse swiftly out of sight. The girl plunged deeper and deeper into the friendly forest and gradually the calmness soothed her. At last she sat down. After a few moments she heard a scream, soon followed by several more. She jumped up and had gone but a short distance when she came upon an old woman, repulsive and weird in her looks. Hildegarde was tempted to turn and flee, but no, she must ask if she could aid the woman. Are you hurt? she asked the old woman. No, but badly frightened by an animal. Child, can you take me to your home and get me some food. I'm so hungry? said the stranger in hollow tones. Hildegarde trembled but she finally touched the woman, saying, Come this way. At last they reached the village and came to the lonely hut which Hildegarde called home. She seated the woman and soon had her drinking some steaming hot tea. She looked at the old woman and found that she did not have the ugly, repulsive face which she first thought but a kindl face. ,At last the woman looked up, What were you doing my daughter? she asked. I was watching you and knew some trouble had befallen you. Hildegarde hesitated. Finally she told all of her former life and her large home which she had never seen except from the outside. She told how her father had been seized and put in prison for debts he had never contracted, and lastly of her horse which was her's no longer. Now I have nothing, oh! if I could only see my father, just once, but how can I go there, I have nothing to give or sell to the King to make him let me see my father? Dear child. you had pity on an old woman. I saw you start to flee but you took me to your home and fed me. I was once young and beautiful as you. I was admired and my hand was much sought after but now--but you may see your father. Leave the gift to me. I will be here tomorrow. n The next morning Hildegarde was waiting when she saw the old woman coming from the forest. With her she had a large bundle and several smaller ones. My child, I will go with you part of the way, said the old woman. So they started and for three days they traveled on. At last the old woman said to the maiden, 'I can go no farther but continue your journey. The way is not difficult to follow. Take this with you. Page 71 l Saying this, she unrolled a small rug of wonderful design. It possessed magnetic qualities which for a moment held one fascinated. When you reach the King, if he refuses to let you see your father, unroll this rug. Many times have I been offered fabulous sums for this but it is all that remains of my old home. You will give this to him. You can pass the outer and inner guards all right if you utter this word -and she whispered in the girl's ear. ll-Iildegarde thanked the old woman and begged her to go with her but at last she went on a one. About noon she grew hungry so she jumped over a wall and ate her scanty meal. Then she lay down and soon was asleep. She was awakened suddenly, however, by voices on the other side of the wall. She listened, and presently recognized the voices of the men who had taken her Prince. She listened, half unconsciously and soon became interested. It's surely wonderful how these miserable people here in the country blame the King. Only a few days more and we shall see the blood of this kind King and his son, she heard the voice saying. What was to happen? Some horrible deed? Hildegarde remained motionless. She could not understand. Was the King to be murdered? Surely not by nobles. Ah! Then, why these voices-this plot? Was she not only dreaming, and was she soon to awake? No, she was not dreaming. but fully awake and very astounded. . At last they went away and the maiden got up quickly. She must do something imme- diately, so she picked up her rug and started quickly along the road. At last, worn and weary, she arrived at the city where the King dwelt. Here also was her beloved father, who had been so cruelly wronged. She easily found the way to the palace and looked with wide eyes at the wonders all about her. Never had she dreamed of such wonderful clothes and carriages. At first her way was barred but she uttered the almost magic Words and immediately the guard fell back and let her pass. In the same way, she passed the inner guard and entered the palace. Up the grand marble stairway she Went. She could scarcely believe her eyes at the beauty of the place and her breath came in short gasps. She felt so small and so insignificant. Finally, she came to a large apartment where she entered. Little did she know this was the innermost sacred apartment of the King. Her feet sank deep into the oriental Persian rugs. There at the end sat the King and at his right hand was a handsome young man, his son, the Prince. The King suddenly looked with curiosity at the strange beautiful maiden dressed in poor clothes, but looking indeed like a princess. She noticed his face was not harsh but full of gentleness and pity. The King and the Prince looked at the beautiful maiden who had come thus unheralded and unannounced. Hildegarde overcame her awe and told her story of the conspiracy. The King paled but called a trusty minister of the state to him and after several minutes, the man departed. My daughter, you have done me a favor which can never be fully repaid, said the King, after hearing her story and asking innumerable questions. You have uncovered a conspiracy which, if allowed to go on, would have cost the kingdom, and our lives. What do you wish for a reward? Your Highness, she said, unrolling her Persian rug, only accept this as a gift and let me see my father. I ask only that, answered Hildegarde. 'Who is your father, asked the king. My father is in prison where he has been unjustly for two years. Before that we lived poorly but happily, Hildegarde said sadly. Your father is by no chance the nobleman who was cruelly deprived of his title and money, twenty years ago? Yes, that is he. Often has he told of the days when he ruled his little town in peace and plenty. She was allowed to see her father, not once but many times. After several months she learned with joy that the conspirators were put to death, and that her father had regained his estate and title, and that they would return to their former town to live in the castle on the hill. But no, Hildegarde would come back soon for the handsome Prince had come to love her tenderly as she loved him. Three or four months afterward, Hildegarde was married to her Prince and always the old Persian rug held the place of honor in their palace for, as he said, it had first brought her to him. -Dorothy Snow, '29. WHILE ONE DIES I am seated at my desk in a very dark room, with only one light, and that is at my desk. It is a small candle, and by the time it has gone out, I shall cease to live. I have planned a great adventure into the next world. This adventure, I hope and think, will be a great benefit to science. I shall electrocute myself in this chair, and when I am dead, I will speak to this world through my friend, the medium. There are fastened to this chair all the wires and plates necessary for the electrocution. When I press a button beside of' me the current will come on, and kill me slowly. As I die, I shall write, as best I can, the queer and strange sensation of death. Pagn 72 ,,, How dark the room is! How the candle seems to fiicker! How strange and weird it is to realize that I shall never see another dawn. It is a perfect night for such a deed. Outside, the weird wind is beating with a steady pat-pat-pat-pat against my window. The wind is whistling and my blinds are banging against the house. There! A huge flash of lightning illuminated all my room. It was then almost day! There's the thunder. Crash! I hear a tree being uprooted! But. hark! I hear someone knocking at my laboratory door! I must be still. ' KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! Heavens, will they ever cease? Merciful heavens! The door is opening, and I locked it and threw the key away only four or five minutes ago! Wait! Who is entering? Silence! There is something in this room! I can hear breathing! I feel the strange sense of some- one's presence! I wish they would leave so I can go on with my experiment. What's this? I see a glow-phosphorescence! The person is writing on the floor with a piece of phosphorus. Why doesn't it burn his hands? What makes the writing so visible? I never knew before such a thing could be done! Another flash of lightning! But, wait! There was no one in the room! Am I going insane? Now it is black once more. And-Great Scott, more phosphorus writing on the floor! What can this mean? Why, I cannot move my legs, whatsoever, nor my left arm and hand-and-even my body fails to move, only my right hand and arm will move. Heavens, I am paralyzed! I have tried to speak. but I cannot utter a sound, I seem to be far, far, away from my desk and candle. and yet I am not! Still the writing! Ah! It is finished. It says--Oh my heart! It's-no-no-I can't be dead! It says-: Leave all hope, oh ye, who enter here! It can't be that I am dead or insane, because I haven't pressed the button! Oh! I wish I hadn't tried this at all! Oh! Oh! More writing!-- The Lord giveth life, and the Lord taketh away. The candle is almost out, I am half dead, I think. My brain is in a whirl. I feel my arm failing me, and my fingers won't write much more, I know. There is a terriflc pain in my head, and I can hardly see, my eyes are almost aflame. Did I press the button? I don't know! The candle is going out, now, and I-- --Howard E. Wheelock, '28, A PARODY OF THE LAST WORD ' Seated one day at the typewriter, It mixed up s's and x's I was weary of a's and e's, Like an alphabet coming to strife. And my fingers wandered idly It seemed the discordant echo Over the consonant keys. Of a row between husband and wife. I know not what I was writing, It brought a perplexed meaning With that thing so like a pen, To my perfected piece, But I struck one word astounding- And set the machine to creaking Unknown to the speech of men. As though it were scant of grease. It flooded the sense of my verses, I have tried, but I try it vainly. Like the breaking of Roosevelt's dam, The one last word to define ' And I felt as one feels when the printer Which came from the keys of my typewriter, Of your infinite calm prints clam. And so would pass as mine. It may be some other typewriter Will produce that word again, It may be but only for others- I shall write hence forth with a pen. -Hazel Oeschger. DAWN In the pale gray dawn of morning From the hill tops brightly gleaming As the night just rolls away, Comes the ever rising sun, - And the world is steeped in stillness, Gathering in her soft warm bosom Wakening at the dawn of day, Nature's work that's just begun. Rise, ye song birds, from your slumber. Send your melodies high above With the beauties of creation Which we cherish and we love. -Margaret Wichland, '29. Page 73 THE REVENGE OF DI-IU-SHARA John Garry, a tall handsome archaeologist, had just proposed to Diana Wayne, the pretty blonde daughter of Curator Wayne of the Dalman Museum. The man I marry, she had told him, must accomplish something in the world. Then as John's face fell, Diana con- tinued, Dad is financing an expedition to Petra, the lost city of Arabia and might have a place for you. Try it anyhow, because no one knows anything about Petra, and if you did succeed in your work, you'd most certainly be famous! And I'd marry you! About three months later an expedition in charge of John Garry arrived at Jerusalem and prepared to go to the gulf of Akaba where, in a basin in the eastern flank of Wadi el Araba, Petra, the rock city lies wrapt in solitude and mystery. After enduring the violent changes of hot and cold in the desert for several weeks, the travelers approached Petra. From the Araba the party veered from the regular track around the Jebel Harun, to enter from the east, down a dark and narrow gorge in places only ten to twelve feet wide, a split in the huge sandstone rocks which served as the water way of the Wadi Musa. Near the end of this gorge rises the most beautiful of the ruins, el Hazne or The Treasury of the Pharaoh which is a spectacle never to be forgotten if once seen, and that is the reason the party came via the gorge. A little farther on, the theatre, lying at the foot of the mountain, and a ruined temple- En Nejr, together with many tombs came into view, all hewn from the glorious rose-colored rock. Almost enclosing Petra on three sides are rose-colored mountain walls, lined with rock-cut tombs in the form of towers. The streams of the Wadi Musa crossed the plain and disappeared into the mountains opposite: on both banks of this river the city was built, in which John had so great an interest. After camp had been set up in the plains and their meal eaten, the men called off work and rolled themselves up in their blankets for a good night's rest. - The next day they began to work vigorously excavating where it seemed the most likely to find archaeological spoils, but in vain. Day after ,day with never failing courage they excavated, hoping to find somthing to take back home from Petra. But no inscriptions, nothing were they to find until even John's courage failed him at the thought of losing Diana. But one day, after a particularly strenuous climb on a far from cool day, John wandered into a ruined temple and flung himself down to rest. Suddenly an aged man, strangely clad, appeared before him and in a voice, the like of which he had never heard before addressed him, O thou who seekest knowledge of Petra, I am come to enlighten thee. Where thou now seest desolation, was once the capital of the Nabataeans, my people, and the center of our trade. Caravans were wont to pass through here on their way to the other great cities of Arabia but now-it was the revenge of Dhu-Shara the god of my people, which brought about this ruin. O, youth, harkl and thou shall hear the story of my race, the Nabataeans. The cause of all this was the beautiful Allat, daughter of Pharaoh, who delibertely broke the thread of her destiny woven by Dhu-Shara. Allat was commanded by destiny to wed the prince of a neighboring city whom she had never seen but, oh shades of my people, she decided to wed a prince with whom she had fallen in love and who had stopped here with a caravan. They fled from Petra and the destruction which later befell it. For Dhu-Shara, offended by the terrible irreverance of Allat. caused a terrible plague to sweep down upon us and watched my people die-one by one until I alone, was left to die unburied. Still the revenge of Dhu-Shara was not complete for vandals from the desert pillaged my city so that naught remains but my wretched bones. As he said these words he began to disappear and as John stretched out a hand to detain him, vanished. John woke up and jumped to his feet with a start. In doing so he hit the side of the temple. Suddenly the whole side began to revolve and as John looked, a black rectangular rock appeared, on which lay a skeleton in an attitude of supplication. It was June and bells were ringing. Why? There was to be a wedding. Whose? Can't you guess? i --Ruth Phelps, '28. ow- o Pug: 74 FOOTBALL Coclfhi MR. Hatzotta DRIYW The l927 football season was opened with Bellows Falls. We were pinned with a 9-3 defeat. Beverstock saving us from a whitewash by a 'SO yard dropkick. The second game was with the strong Nashua aggregation at Keene. Nashua proved superior to Keene in experience and in almost all'departments of the game. At the end of the fourth quarter Nashua was the victor 12-0. Keene broke its losing streak by defeating Claremont Z4-6 in its third game. Keene won by taking advantage of the breaks of the game. On October 15 Concord revenged last year's game from Keene by a l-+40 defeat. Concord had a decided offensive superiority and this was topped off by a very much heavier team than Keene. The fifth game was another victory for Keene. We proved superior to XVest Side Manchester by a 6-O score, Jim Ballon making the only touchdown. Keene journeyed to Greenfield only to be sent home with a 12-6 defeat, All of Greenfields scoring was done in the Hrst half. Greene starred for Keene. ln our next game Templeton proved an easy mark for the Keene team and was defeated -H-0. Vvlheelock starred for Keene. Once more the game with our old rival, Brattleboro, arrived. This game was one of the best ever staged between the two rivals, Keene's first touchdown came early in the game by the hard bucking of Beverstock, But, Brattleboro, not to be outdone also scored and the half ended 7-6 in favor of Brattleboro, Witli about Eve minutes to go before the end Keene. or rather Capt. Greene. scored two touchdowns to win 18-7. Once more the lntchis' football trophy remains in Keene. For the last scholastic game of the season Keene was defeated by the second strongest team in Vermont, Springneld. Keene put up a great Eght but the heavier team proved superior and was victor 12-0. Casper Bemis starred for Keene. On Thanksgiving Day the High School played the Alumni only to be defeated 6-O. The Alumni included a galaxy of former K. H. S. players. Donovan N. H.

We all came over the Hill in the Nash and went to the hotel down on Main Street-oh, Ayer,-the Ellis. A terribly Greene waiter came along and when we ordered chicken he said he thought it would take a whole Bruder chickens for us. There was a radio in the corner so someone turned the Dial and there was a bird imitator whistling Merrill-y away to himself trying to make us think he was a Martin. When the water brought the Chickerin, he spilled it all over that Sweet, little, French girl. Oh, I'm Saari, he exclaimed, but we razzed him until you Bett fsj he felt Small. i Just then someone came in. Oh, whispered one of the girls, Who's William's new girl? I don't know her name, said someone, but she's a Darling.' You're Wright, was the answer. Did you know that when she Went to Pickering, someone asked, she picked a moon- Stone? Yes, and I think someone ought to Warner that that is bad luck. After the feast we went to Latchis' and saw a picture, Adam's Revenge. It was such a clever comedy that we were all Bent double with laughter. Then we went for a ride over a Bridge and along a Lane. On the way we started an argument about the Powers that be. Somone stated that they liked Baker's food although it made them sick. However, they said, they were now Hale and hearty. In the middle of this merriment someone started to Reed the Scripture but we silenced them by threats to throw them to the crocodiles in the New Hampshire Rivers. For a time we argued as to whether one of Keene's illustrious men started as a tin-Smith or as a Taylor. This became so heated that we were preparing to Spring at each others' throats but we stopped ourselves and calmed down. Not long after it began to Snow and then to can the climax we had a blow-out. For about a half-hour we stayed there, sitting or Neal-ing in the midst of the blizzard. Oh, it was dram- atic, I tell you! When it was fixed we had to Hunt up one member of the party. On the way home we decided that we Woodbury the past and forget our differences. Al- together We decided that, although it had been a regular Hodge-podge of events, we had had a successful evening.

Johnny Barry, besides filling the capacity of captain, was a brilliant and stable player. Newell Kimball and Russy Mitchell played the game like veterans and the Orange and Black was glad many times they were supporting it.

To our coach, Miss Griffith, much honor is due. She certainly worked us at practice, cheered us, and encouraged us in our work. Next year the school will miss Pat, Eva, Buster, and Milly making the necessary points at a crucial moment, and it is lucky to have Flora, Evy, and Dottie back in the ranks.

It is masculine and feminine gender mixed: therefore, common. It is a conjunction because it connects. It is an interjection: at least, it sounds like one. It is plural because one calls for another. It is singular because there is nothing else like it. It is unusually in apposition with a caress! At any rate, it is sure to follow. A kiss can be conjugated, but never declined. However, it is not an adverb, because it cannot be compared, but it is a phrase that ex- presses feeling. . Page 87 HEARD IN K. H. S. CLASSES Bedivere was Arthur's Hrst knight.
