She spoke in a lofty voice, I've been waiting till the last to read the spicy epistles which I am keeping from the circles of gossip. Here's the first one: 'POPPY- 'Those football guys that are graduatin' think nobody can fill their placesg we'll show 'em next year, won't me? 'BRUCE G.' H And this one: 'MARG- 'I'll bet those Seniors are jealous because none of them are debaters, but we're so dkn good we don't need anyone else. UP. JI? !! Now what do you think of that? asked Mrs. Sneerwell in an 'I-told-you-so' tone. Such impudence and conceit! Well, I'd just like to see if these Juniors really live up to their expectations. It will be a wonder to me if they do- But just then one of the books, knowing how Mrs. Sneerwell would gossip, looked up at me and exclaimed: It's 12:00 o'clockg our fun's over for this time! The books hastily dispersed to their various desks and silence prevailed, broken only by the tick-tock of my heart. I'll admit I was a trifle disappointed but then all good things must come to an end some time. Well, readers, I wish you as restful a vacation as I shall have. C. E. G., '25. BACK TRACKING When from the old Red School building we go And know we won't be back again, Of the time we spent in fooling we know And wish that those days would just begin. Some may go and make the time spent pay, But most of us have our row to hoe. When we journey back to the school some day At that time our success we should know. Now it is near the departing time When we gather our books and start packing- These eight or ten little lines wouldn't rhyme Unless I called this all back-tracking. BUN '25 33

BLUE AND WHITE gun: wig I MUSINGS OF SETI-I THOMAS Could you imagine what happened the other night? A midnight revelry. It sure was interesting and I didn't miss a thing. Since school was so nearly at a close the books had a big party. They were having the most fun when a gossipy judge from a Civics book spoke: I'd just like to show you what my abode, this book, conceals for Adelaide. DEAR ADALIDE - All were silent while the judge read this: May I see you after Senior play practice? It concerns that date for Wednesday night. The judge cleared his throat and said, This document is signed 'John King.' Silence reigned while the judge retired to his former position on Page 92 of the Civics book. Caesar, fresh from his Gaulic wars, stopped from Latin Il., saying: Ah! Listen to Don's fiance: 'DEAR DON- 'I'm awfully sorry I wasn't home last night when you called, but if you come down tonight I'll be home. 'YOUR GLADYS.' So--, um, huh! breathed the rest mysteriously. Then Caesar, with martial tread, retreated into the Latin text. The resulting hub-bub was called to order by a Crusader's gruff voice. I, too, have a few secrets. Hear this one: 'DEAR JIM- 'Did your father bawl you out for not getting in till after 10:00 o'cl0ck last night?' Let's see: I guess her name is Helen Gawkin. Two of the books fainted at this terrible epistle, but with effort recovered. Next, proclaimed Front de Beouf, a grim figure with a voice as low as his boots, whose very presence demanded attention. I object to being responsible for such notes as the following: 'DEAR AUDRIENNE- 'I want to tell you that if you don't go to the show with me tonight, I'll Hunk that Algebra test tomorrow because I won't be able to study. 'WILLIS PEET ' fFreshmanJ. From book to book was whispered phrases of agreement while Front de Beouf strode wrathfully back to Ivanhoe. After an interval of discussions, a war-like figure stepped from a Latin II. text. Caesar sent me to reveal this startling disclosure, said the envoy. Take notice: DEDICATED TO HELEN HALL, Franklin Square- 'Our eyes have met- Our lips not yet, But, Oh, you kid, I'll get you yet! i 'VINCENT LAVELLE' QSophomoreJ. Shocking, groaned one bo-ok while others displayed their disgust in various ways. Each one gets worse. 32

Although meetings were held only every two weeks, we have accomplished more than one might expect due to Miss Renkenberger's efficiency. The first meeting we learned how to place the stage setting, outline the course of each act and to distribute the properties properly. After this instruction a play named The Exchange was given. In this talent was shown by all. Immediately we began reading short plays to decide on another which is to be put on before school closes. At the last meeting we learned the art of make up and how it should be applied to the face in order to be able to immitate different characters. ART The aim of the Art Club, under the supervision of Miss Bechtoldt, is a practical one. We learned how to make colors and, most of all, how to combine colors. At Hrst one does not realize the value of understanding colors, but upon consideration one finds it to be a desired bit of lore on the propriety of dress, decorations and furnishing of the home as well as on the reproducing of nature itself. Conventional designing was another part of our work. This style of design is the height of fashion and embroidery. After studying' coloring and designing we are now oil painting on pebbled sanitas. We hope to profit from the Art Club by being able to make ourselves and our surroundings artistically pleasing to the eye. PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Physical Education Club was organized at the first of the year with a membership of forty-one, with Mr. Reuter as teacher in charge. The purpose of this club is to teach the boys and girls the proper care they should take of their bodies. One pleasant afternoon the students were permitted to go out-of-doors so that they might take the proper physical exercise. At other times they discussed and made suitable menus for persons doing light work, heavy muscular work and for those who are' training for football or other athletic sports. The care of the feet was also stressed to them in a short address given by Doctor Beaver. Our purpose has been to equip ourselves with strong, healthy bodies and we feel that each member of this club now has a better understanding of the proper care they should give their bodies. 34
