They sorely need it. Second, to the Sophomores we leave our preponderant wit and sense of humor. Third, to the Freshmen fthe poor down- trodden creaturesj we give our dignity and our pull with the study hall teachers. Furthermore, being a class richly endowed with individual genius, we take it upon our already overburdened shoulders to leave some of this individual ability to the poor and needy under classmen in the form and order hereby prescribed: To George Clark Red Hollister be- queaths his ability to get first in line in the cafeteria. Start doing your daily dozen, George. Hercules Dobson bestows upon Rosie Givens his ability to wiggle his ears. Frances Hurley leaves her permanent permanent to Sophie Di Leo. This may help your curls, Sophie. Mary Marron, we certainly pity your vic- tims. Helen Stead has decided that you shall inherit her ability to squeeze money out of stones. To lrene Teleky Muriel Squier and Eli- nor Rogers intrust the secret of their unique coitfure. Theirs is a rare, almost forgotten, art, Irene, guard it as you would your life. Rene Campbell bequeaths her position as cashier to Elizabeth Collins. Joe Monico and Abe Berger, the boys with the ever ready smile, have agreed to make their bequest general. Anyone feeling gloomy? just help yourself to a smile or two. Irish Nolan wills her swiftness of foot to Patty Nogi. That puts you on the right track, Pat Margaret Molson confers upon Helen Ziemanski her ever present forehead curl. Take warning, Helen, don't get caught in the rain! ' Fannie Belousofsky falls heir to Theresa Mopsick's unusual choregraphic art. We don't know what that means, but Tess says it's all rightg so blame her. Lucky Al Dabbg Pete,' Ezayuk has de- cided to leave him his ability to juggle tig- ures. Your physics experiments will always work out exactly right now, Alf Dearie Schonfeld bequeaths her ability to Charleston to Keevic Farber. Try it on the court, Farber. Sis Mauer leaves her ability to par- ley to Hazel Alexander. Sis used to be quiet too, Hazel. Tonny,' Tondora ,leaves her stock of varied and striking poses to Leona Brown. Remember, Leona, position is everything in life. Here is an interesting bequest: Art' Vornbauni offers to leave Margaret Berry his silent nature. We certainly hope you will accept the offer, Bill.,' Carl Hendrickson is the recipient of Wes Ainge's Colgate smile. If 'oo love me drin. Rebecca Hirschman's hard earned title, Firpo,', goes to Helen Kalocy. Get in train- ing, Helen. Matty ,lacob leaves the art of tilting her chin to Trixie Farkas. Heads up, Trix, Grygotis passes on to George Bienfang his oratorical ability. Lefty Berzon leaves his baseball ability to Carter Quinlan. Practice makes perfect, Carter. - To Solly Kominetsky Mannyl' Shapiro bequeaths his collegiate appearance. A Roy Gibbert's penmanship is generous- ly left to John Poth. We advise you to in- vest in a typewriter, John. Pete,' Jacobi falls heir to Chick Bous- ka's athletic ability. To Frank Suplesky go Sid,' Atkin's colorful sweaters and socks. -Upon Emanuel Margulies Germaine De Winter bestows her divers notebooks. They'll make things lots easier. Mendel, Here is an interesting field for debate practice, Winetskyg Rose Gutkin wills you her unsettled history questions. Mike Petraitis leaves his .football 9 prowess to Jack Davidson. Hope you live through it, Red. His ability as a lexicographer Shaky Carkhuff leaves to Louis Glick. Willie Weisbrot leaves his wavy and well groomed hair to Joe Reisch. Don't be bashful with the iron, Joe. Her Virgilian laurels Anna Kalugin proudly bestows upon Tillie Budres. -Iarossy leaves his football medals to Jim Budrecki. Every little bit helps, Jim. Here is another offer for you, Bill Berry, if you won't accept Art's silent nature, Celia Siegel offers you hers. Emma Witfill leaves her various typing awards to Frances Schecter. We hope you won't try to wear them all at once, Frances. To Eleanor Mackey is bequeathed Rae Weinstein's ladylike manner. Anna Smiles falls heir to Molly Krav- etsky's high heels. The style is there, but we're not so sure about their comfort. Jack Dragon, the village butcher, leaves his slicing ability to Covalence. We hope you won't use it while playing golf, Paul. Bud,' Scott bestows his French laurels upon Irene Molson. To Madeline Page Anna Schuler leaves her graduation dress. Make the most of it, Madeline. Speaking of making the most of it, Ed Murawski is thinking of leaving his basket- ball suit to' Harold Whitman. Perhaps the trunks will make a nice pair of plus-fours for him. Lillian Smith is to become the proud pos- sessor of Lydia Covalence's blushing coun- tenance. Honest, Lillian, it's natural. Very willingly Julius Goldsmith bestows upon Jack Powers his easy How of historical facts. Mary Dobson is the recipient of Mary Beviano's marvelous ad-gathering ability. Elin Rosander's shyness is bestowed upon Edith Hudak. You will have to settle down, Edith. We, the class of 1927, do hereby acknowl- edge the above bequests, general and specific, as our last will and testament as drawn up and witnessed by the undersigned on this twenty-fourth day of March, 1927. Signed: SoLoN TUCKER, ESQ. HAVAPILL BREWSTER, M.D. ,l,li..-l- The Challenge Senior, come, I beckon! All men I summon, not all answer. To youth, who knows not despair, I seem as that which, long awaited, Makes its wonted appearance. Mistake not thou, O Senior, but haste, Stand ready to follow me. In years to come he who knew me not Will rue. But I shall not forsake him. Ever lurking silently, patient, In the dimness of the misty future Which o'erveil's the world in fog, I, With brilliant rays of Phoebus' strength, That mist do penetrate, disperse the ugly clouds, Come shining into life's dark chamber, And restore the cheery light of morn. But, thou, welcome me as now I call. Stand ready for thy task, heed thou my summons, When again I speak, thou mayst not hear. Senior, come, I beckon, I, whom happy men call Opportunity! IVIARGARET MoLsoN, '27, r Class Statistics Freshmen! Sophomoresl juniors! These statistics have been especially compiled so that you may know the achievements and abilities of the present Seniors and despair or aspire, et cetera. Now go on with the story. In the first place we are a class of great wisdom and inventive genius who apply our abilities for the good of mankind, for ex- ample: In physics laboratory the other day one of our more or less bright lights con- ceived the idea that if school- clocks were made to do work in addition to passing time away, a tremendous amount of energy could be transformed into useful work. He dis- covered that an ordinary school clock does 1,777,999,486,532,779 dynes of work every thirty-seven days, and that the combined force of all the clocks in the school accom- plishes 999,876,475,7S4,365,922,432,954,641 dynes of work each year. He further showed that this amount of energy could be made to run automatic exercises in the gym- nasium and thus prevent the over exertion of the students during physical training period. We are not certain to what extent this principle may be applied, but we have been assured by The Board of Education that it will supplant the five minute period of physical training after lunch during the next session. VV e modestly await your applause. It is also indirectly to our credit that the new system of marking, one of the greatest conservation measures of a lifetime, was put into effect. Statistics show that since the students have been receiving their report cards twice every three months instead of every month, failures have been reduced by one-third. Certain Seniors claim to receive four F's less every three months. This, as you will readily see, saves large quantities of red ink and teachers, energy as well as of parents, slipper leather. We are, be it known, full of knowledge and understanding. If the thoughts of one of our class were accumulated and placed in b0oks,they would Hll 1,403 volumes of 17,000 pages each. That is, 179,S76,543,264,987,- 910,516 of our valuable thoughts are going to waste each year through the lack of an instrument capable of recording the thoughts of an individual at all times. Were it pos- sible to compile these thoughts, they would no doubt furnish a library dry enough to cause the evaporation of all the Great Lakes and the Rahway River. If the class were pl'aced on a huge scale, it would take two steam engines and a motorcycle to balance us. But if, by chance, Mike Petraitis fell off, only two steam en- gines would be necessary to counter-balance us. Yes, this class has athletic prowess, too. The famed Swede Gibbert has been known to reach the cafeteria from room 203 in five seconds. Bring on your Paddock! Let us bring to your notice that as June approaches there has been an increase in the supply of tear gas prepared in our chemical laboratories. It is interesting to note that 9,467,453,742 cubic feet of tear gas have been made from tears shed since last Sep- tember. Our chemists have discovered a simple formula for preparing this gas. Clj 3 red F's plus 1 angry parent fcat- alytic -agent -quickens -the -actionj - .9643l pints of tears. C21 .9643l pints of tears plus 1 debate Cplenty of hot airj-7.456 cubic feet of tear gas. Wesley Ainge and Margaret Molson have given a generous supply of debates, others of the class have supplied the other neces- sary materials. Be it further known that our class is potentially one of the wealthiest in the uni- verse. According to statistics we make approximate-ly twenty dollars for every day we attend school. Then, considering the ex- tra classes and afternoon sessions as time and a half, and the extra terms as double time, this class is worth 32,36l,936g and since every mother's son of us Cgirls, tool is worth a milllion dollars, our wealth is 347,361,936 For further information re- garding this, see Philip Dobson. Books and books have been written re- garding this class, and doubtless more will be written. The shelves of our new library are groaning under the strain of the huge volumes of statistics of the Seniors of '27, Those who seek to find the truth of these statistics, we refer to the school library, volume 177, page 166, section D, paragraph X, entitled An Apology for the Hopelessly Exaggerated Statistics of the Class of '27. KENNETH CARKHUFF, ,27. The '27 Circus IGHT this way for Ainge's famous l927 circus, greatest show of the season! See the world-renowned pie jug- glers, Red and Bud'l, keep a dozen lemon merangue pies in the air at once, and Kalugin and Gutkin dive gracefully from a height of a hundred feet into a bucket of water. Don't let the kiddies miss the most human monkeys in captivity, familiarly known as jarossy and VVeisbrot. Through the skill of their marvelous trainer, Molson, they walk and talk and almost think like human beings. Close to their cage you will find Phil, the gentle chimpanzee, and Gibbert, the missing link, marvelously discovered in the wilds of jersey City, through the daring adventure of that great scientist, Doctor Shapiro. He also found for us Nolan, the fire eater, who chews up live coals, and swal- lows flames. And ladies, don't fail to in- terview Princess jacob, world-renowned phrenologist, and reader of horoscopes. She can tell you how to win a husband for your- self, and also how to keep him. Come, all you pessimists, all you gloom chasers, here you'll laugh for it! Arthur and jack, funniest pair of clowns since Adam, could draw iron tears down Pluto's cheeks.

SYLVIA IQAMINSHIK, '28 Junior Class History N 1924 a tribe of semicivilized barba- rians known as Freshmen was admitted into the Holy Sanctuaries of Linden High School. Abetted by Minerva they withstood the ravishes of the three hostile tribes of upper classmen on the seas of Corridor and the disastrous besieges of Faculty on the Plains of Class Room. At monthly intervals the latter tribe sallied forth from their stronghold of books and desks to attack the Freshmen, who knew little of the arts of war. The ever watchful gods, delighting in these skirmishes, favored now one side, now the other. Mighty Mars ordained that a decisive battle should be fought in june. I The setting sun on the last day of that ap- pointed month was privileged to witness the joyous feasting of the victorious Freshmen, who had won with only a slight loss of life. As a reward for their valor, Minerva bestowed upon them the mighty name of Sophomores and granted a two months' ces- sation of hostilities, during which time they pursued the arts of peace. When by the will of the gods theygagain went forth to battle, their new name excited them to greater victories, and with their added knowledge of civilization they fought their second great battle more efficiently than the first. The gods again rewarded them, jupiter sending Mercury to confer the glorious name of Juniors upon this now entirely civilized tribe. At the end of a second truce, the most conspicuous year in the history of this tribe began. In a great battle of words known as Debate, which took place on the fields of Stage in the country of Auditorium, they vanquished the hostile tribe of Seniors. Then during a few peaceful periods, called assemblies, the magnanimous Juniors gra- ciously consented to entertain their arch en- emies by presenting a number of plays. Sometimes, however, hostilities among these tribes were entirely forgotten when picked soldiers from each group banded to- gether to defend their homeland, Linden, from invading tribes. Again and again, vic- torious battles were fought on the plains of Football, Basketball, and Baseball, and members of the junior Tribe, like true pa- triots, lent their aid in every time of need. The mighty gods remained propitious, and this tribe of juniors, under the banner, Ex- celsiorf' continued their forward march until they won for themselves the title of Seniors, after which they looked forward to greater conquests for themselves and their home- land.

VYe Hunk a quiz, fail to make a team, are scolded for alleged laziness, have to rewrite stiff-collared essays, and all the world comes crushing down upon us. According to our temperaments. we abandon ourselves to grief, eloquently abuse our heartless teachers, or seek vindication in painting the dawn of an improbably rosy future. These lildorados of ours lie indeed over the mountains of the moon where our limited capabilities may have difficulties in pursuing them. For in thinking of the future, most of us skip the period of struggle and endeavor, and visualize our- selves as artists, professional folk, or prosperous business men or women, seated at mahogany desks in richly appointed ofiices with three or more private secretaries and a few Boswells hanging on each golden word that e'capes our lips. But for most of us, the world may have no fatted calves in readiness. and those bay leaves, which we shall no doubt eventually wear, must be won through a struggle in which all that the high school has given us of self-reliance and power of perception must be used to the utmost. lf we could but realize this, how many disappointments could be saved us later on! Perhaps, then, when we are at grips with realities, these tragedies of school life may seem insignificant, and in retrospect we may be happy to remember even these things -yes, year book ads, essays, and afternoon classes. M. M. The Library XVith the recent opening of a library under the direction of a trained librarian, our high school facilities have been made much more complete. And now that we have this library, it is difficult to realize what we did without it. For though we have had a num- ber of reference and supplementary books, we have had no adequate method of circu- lating them. Perhaps the greatest rtervi 'e of the library is in supplementiirg the work of all depart- This is especially help- ments in the school. ful in the English and History departments, which regard the library as their laboratory. Through librarv courtesy we may also, when necessary, avail ourselves of the resources of neighboring libraries. .AX further important function of the li brary is to stimulate readrig for leisure time. This training for the worthy use of leisure is one of the cardinal objectives of educa- tion. No doubt pupils have in the past done a good deal of reading, but now with an approved choice of books and proper guidance they can be sure of gnod reading matter. h The library already has over 2.000 books, and it is constantly being added to. How- ever, there is still much room for additional book shelves. llut we feel sure that under the able supervision of our librarian, Miss XVaterman, this department will be perfected as other departments have been.

This ambition was realized on june lO, 1926, when Harry Levine, '22, President of the Association, presented to the High School on behalf of the alumni two busts, one of VX'ashington and one of Lincoln, and two bas-reliefs, rep- resenting the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Treaty of Paris. ln making the presentation President Levine commented upon the service of the High School in inculcating democratic ideals and principles and upon the fitness of placing in the auditorium of a public high school memorials of the great founders of our republic and of the events that gave the nation birth. The busts have been placed at either side of the stage and the bas-reliefs on the wall at the back of the auditorium. Samuel XN'inetsky, '20, is secretary of the Atlantic City Press Club.

A Five By Three Foot View LQXYLY and weakly I opened my eyes and ca1ne face to face with a little two by four room. At hrst everything seemed a mystery to me, and then I suddenly rec- ollected my unfortunate plight. Mine was the time-worn story of a penniless outcast, driven to starvation and, finally, merciful unconsciousness on a roadside. Apparently I had been picked up by some farmer and brought to this room, for it was entirely new to me. Somewhat recovered from my daze, I glanced about. The room itself was a small, drab, meagerly furnished affair with one bare window about five feet long and three feet wide. After a mournful look at this dismal chamber I was attempting to View my cloudy future, when suddenly a huge, black bird appeared in the sky, leaving a trail of smoke behind it. Presently this white smoke formed curious shapes until, watching closer, I read Lucky Strike in wavering letters. To be sure, it was that famous dare- devil writing in the sky. Indeed it was a coincidence that this should appear directly in my little window space. Before long the curling letters faded and disappeared among the clouds. I was not long in doubt concerning my condition, as a buxom woman soon pre- sented herself and informed me that I would be her charge for some time to come. That night as I was watching the Big Dipper ladle up the darkness, a long ray of light swung back and forth across the sky. At flrst it alarmed, and then it puzzled me. I called the buxom woman, who explained that it was the searchlight on the mountain lookout, guiding the way for the mail plane. Scarcely had she spoken, than a ball of red and green lights passed through the sky. This was the strangest thing I had ever seen, and immediately thoughts of Jupiter's thun- derbolts and the aurora borealis came to my mind. But the buxom woman explained it to be the mail plane en route to VVashington. Thus I was amused by my five by three foot view. Each day the sky was painted a different hue, sometimes azure or a dull grey or else a deep blue flecked with puffy cl'ouds. Gccasionally, flocks of birds, wending their way southward, would appear for a flutter- ing instant. Sometimes a kite would glide by, borne along, it almost seemed, by the merry shouts of the children below. Even the tips of the few trees amused me. The protruding limb of an oak became a leafy head of a goose. Smaller branches formed curious shapes and even a few initials. And now that I am well again and have recovered my natural horizon, I find that my mental horizon has been indefinitely broad- ened by means of my five by three foot view. EDITH KING, '28.

The Moon The quietest body in the universe, the moon, Lazily floating through fleecy clouds, Soft in colbr and contour, sleepily watchful. she moves. How calm, how pure, and yet how much she knows. Since the beginning of time she has travelled Always the self-same path. VVho on earth has seen as much as she? - Not one of us can boast such knowledge. The quietest body in the universe, the moon, Lazily Hoating through Heecy clouds, The sun in all his glory knows not half as much as she, For he, like human beings, is blinded by his own brightness. VVESLEY AINGE, '27. , g I Wonder HE other day I saw on the wall of a public library a proverb by Daniel VV eb- ster which set me thinking. It was: Never explain. Your friends don't require itg your enemies won't believe you anyway. I then thought of the day last week, when a few of the fel'lows were called before a teacher at school for making a little noise. This teacher, while talking to us, informed us that she was one of our best friends. Why then, did one of our best friends ask for an explanation? The one we gave, a true one and a good one, I don't think she believed. At any rate we were dated up for the afternoon. Something wrong some- where. Then there is the matter of homework. Try, some day, to enter school without your homework done, and see how far you get without being required to explain. As far as the door probably. Yes, we all admit that the teachers are our best friends. But, on the other hand, Mr. VVebster is considered an excellent authority. VVell! I can't see my Way through it. Look me up if you can find the answer. WINFIELD SCOTT, '27. Poets Are Made a You must write, said Miss Walston, by hook or by crook, A wonderful poem for the mighty Year Bookf, Stern was her manner, determined her eye, VVe must be poets, be poets or die.

The meter was rotten, the words they were worse, But to the last man, we thought them good verse. Not so, said The Staff, who declared them all bores, And the room soon resounded with disgruntled snores. Then awak'ning with rage and in a great huif They consigned to the basket our hard-written stuff. Pray what was the use of working so hard, Of striving to please and playing the bard? And now that I've finished, I'm blithely elate ' I can safely forget this song that I hate.

Came a magical change in the season, And instead Of December's ice cold, SPRING softly breathed-there's the reason, Bringing flowers and blossoms untold! The sun warmly smiled, since 'twas springtime, And gone was the hail and the snow, Love filled the world, it was ringtimeg NO longer the north wind did blow. Birds sang, flowers bloomed, and trees blossomed, While Joy softly throbbed in the air. Lads and lassies, bedecked and becostumed, Made a part Of this wondrous affair.

THE CYNOSURE X The Orchestra The Latin Club 38 R WS? l 2553 aww 1 Station 'GL H Sw Club Night OOD evening, everybody! This is Station L H S broadcasting. We have a little surprise in store for you. .Xfter some laudable diplomacy, we have succeeded in bringing before the microphone this evening the representatives from all the leading organizations in the High School. ln the course of their existence these clubs have rendered much in the way of good citizenship and the forma- tion of character. They have started where the theoretical studies have ended and have put the theories into actual practice. rklthough they have taught their members the rudiments of self-government, their primary purpose is to enhance the in- terest in the different curricular subjects. ln this they have also been successful, as you will soon hear from their representatives. The first number on our pro- gram will be 'fHigh School Cadets, played by the Linden High School Orchestra. While the musicians are tuning up. Genevieve Doktor will tell you a little of the work the orchestra is doing and will do in the future. Orchestra ,Xlthough the orchestra was organized last year. we feel that this is our first year of real accomplishment, as we are for the first time fully equipped with instruments. XYith a bass viol. a cello, a viola, a trumpet, a trombone, a tuba, a flute, a melophone, and two clarinets, provided by the lioard of Education this year. Linden now has one of the finest high school orchestras in Cnion County. .'Xt this time a great many of the people of the orchestra are eagerly looking forward to participating in the county orchestra, comprised of instruments from the different high schools, which is to play this May at the Musical Festival held in lflizabeth. They are also looking proudly backward on their past achievements. for they have played at the Senior Play, at the musical comedy, Springtime, and at the operetta, as well as for Boys' Meek, and for school assemblies. Of course, all this entails much practice: and should you happen to pass the auditorium on either XYeclnesclay or Thursday morning. you would see the twenty- five members of the orchestra hard at work under the able direction of Miss Tams, the supervisor of music. The business affairs of the orchestra are taken care of by the following offi- cers: john Poth, president, Lillian Smith, vice-president: Edna lilein, secretary, and Clarence Paffrath, treasurer. sk :sf lk :sf 211 XYe hope that you have enjoyed the music of the L H S Orchestra. Our next speaker is Miss Lillian Smith of the Latin Club. The Latin Club The Latin Club, one of the youngest in the High School, was organized this fall by Miss Kienle with the following officers: Rose Cutkin, presidentg Anna Kalugin, vice-president: Mary Marron, secretary: Genevieve lloktor, treasurer. 39 .o 3 U Commercial The l I 40 E The club meets every second Tuesday to enjoy an entertaining program furnished by the members. Among the accomplishments this year are the selection of an attractive pin, bearing the figure of an eagle, the club emblem, the raising of funds by the unique method of selling arm bands with the letters L H S on them, and an afternoon dance on the sixth of April. The club will give a musical comedy, Latin Grammarf' in one of the assembly periods this spring. VVith all these activities, the club is expecting a busy and interesting spring term. I thank you. :of :of ak PF wk 4 I now present to you Miss Helen Stead of the Commercial Club. The Commercial Club i For the benefit of those who have not had an opportunity to listen in during the term, I shall tell you what has happened in the Commercial Club this year. To become a member of the club, a pupil must have for two consecutive months an average of eighty per cent in three subjects in the Commercial Course, English being one of the three. VVe feel that this gives one something to strive for and maintains the high standard of the club. As it has always been our aim to promote interest in commercial work and to have social activities, a student with the required marks seldom fails to join our club. VVith these goals of work and fun in mind, we planned our year's activities. In October we had a party in honor of our new members, at which the en- tertainment of stunts and funny readings was furnished by the ten initiates. As a part of this initiation, they wore ribbons of the club colors, blue and gray, for one week. These colors were adopted this year after many combinations had been suggested. One of the most helpful features of our business meetings has been the talks given by prominent business men. In February Mr. Gray of the Prudential Insurance Company gave us a very good idea of what the employer expects from his employees. Some of his earlier experiences made his talk very interesting. The biggest accomplishment of the year is the selection of the club pin, which we have been discussing for some time. The pin has beveled silver edges and the letters C C and L H S in silver across its blue enameled face. The most enjoyable social event of the club was a theatre party in March at the Mosque Theatre in Newark. This was the first time the club has ventured on such a trip, but because of the first success the members are planning for other such parties. Sixteen eligible Freshmen were initiated at the March social meeting. As a remuneration for their droll roles, they were given a very enjoyable time, includ- ing refreshments. The ofhcers for 1926-27 are: President, Ruth Schonfeldg vice-persident, Lillian Carofiig secretary, Germaine De Winter, treasurer, Helen Steady assistant treasurer, Georgette De Winter. wk vs x in 1: Michael Petraitis of the Boys' Glee Club is our next entertainer. The Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club, the youngest, or one of the youngest, clubs in the High School, has again been organized under the leadership of Mr. Piper. Regular weekly rehearsals are held, a proof that the club is well under way. Plans have been made to participate in several assembly programs and to collaborate with the Girls' Glee Club in presentation of the operetta, The Fire Prince. The purpose of the club is to create an interest in music, to develop student talent, and to provide pleasure and recreation for the members. The officers of the organization are: Edward Hollister, president, Kenneth Carkhuff, vice-president, Abraham Berger, secretary and treasurer, Michael Petraitis, librarian, Mr. W. G. Piper, director. 41 R Miss Anna Kalugin of the French Cl'ub will now tell us of that organization. f For the benefit of those in our invisible audience who are without French dic- tionaries, we have Miss Kalugin's promise to avoid the use of French words. However, we are not sure whether she will be able to overpower her instinct for employing one or two.j Qt 490 C This year marks the Fifth anniversary of La Societe Francaisef' and activ- ities have been resumed with remarkable success. The The Dansantf' one of the outstanding social events of the year, was given by the French Club on March 16. The gym, gayly decorated with colors appropriate for Saint Patrick's Day and with attractive novelties, drew an unusual number of students. The event proved a great success, both socially and financially. This term the club continued its custom of offering a prize of five dollars to the student submitting the best composition written in French. During the Easter vacation the organization held its annual trip-this time a theatre party to New York. Those who attended greatly enjoyed the program. On Gift Dayi' La Societe Francaise will fulfill its promise in presenting a memorial, symbolic of the club, to the high school buil'ding. It is hoped the good record of the French Club will be upheld in the future as it has been in the past. The officers for the year 1926-27 are: President, Anna Kaluging vice-presi- dent, Lillian Smith, secretary, Margaret Molson, treasurer, Irene Molson, cor- responding secretary, Rose Gutking faculty adviser, Mrs. Hardin. wk wk wk Pk Pk VVe are pleased to bring before the Umikel' for the second time this eve- ning Miss Lillian Smith in behalf of the Girls' Glee Club. She will conclude the program, we hope, by rendering a few selections. The Girls' Glee Club Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience! We feel that since everyone is familiar with performances of the Girls' Glee Club, you will enjoy hearing something of the club's work. Last year, the nrst of the club's organization, only two-part singing was attempted, but this year the club of about fifty members has done three-part singing. It has entertained the school' on many occasions. At Christmas it sang many of the best loved and most beautiful of the carols for the school assembly. fn january at one of the assemblies it gave a few of the Negro spirituals, the true folk songs of America. In May the club will appear in an assembly program sponsored by the Music Department. At present the Girls' Club, in collaboration with the Boys' Gl'ee Club, is busily working on an operetta, The Fire Prince, to be presented in May under the direction of Miss Tams and Mr. Piper. But the club has hours of pleasure as well as of work, for last fall the members had great fun on a hot-dog roast at VVhite's Pond. The following are the present officers of the Girls' Glfee Club: President, Lillian Smith, vice-president, Edith Kingg secretary, Anna Kaluging treasurer, Rose Gutkin. 42 THE CYNOSURE 43 I , The Debating Club I take pleasure in introducing to you Mr. VVesley Ainge of the Debating Club. Perhaps I owe Mr. Ainge and the organization he represents an apology, neither needs the least introduction. The Debating Club Good evening, fellow students. It gives me great pleasure to speak to you for a few minutes about one of the most interesting clubs in the High School. This year, because of a renewed general interest in debating, we have reorganized the Linden High School Debating Club, founded in 1925. The purpose of the club is to stimulate and supervise all debating activities in the High School. All pupils interested in debating are eligible for membership. The new organization has accomplished much. Our school was not successful this year in securing a grouping with other schools for the debates sponsored by the Rutgers Interscholastic Debating Leagueg but through the efforts of the Debating Club and of Mr. Barrett, our debate coach, we have succeeded in arranging several debates with neighboring schools. The club also has supervised the usual interclass debates, in which the juniors were victors, and has given an afternoon dance. In addition to these outside activities, our executive committee, under the direction of Mr. Brubeck, has submitted some very interesting programs at our meetings, which are held on the First and fourth Wednesdays of each month. We also have open-forum discussion of current events, which we find very instructive. The play, It Can't Be Done, given by the club as an assembly program, was an interesting example of what can be accomplished by a club of this kind. All things considered, the club has progressed rapidly during the year. The members who are graduating this year sincerely hope that those members who are still in school next year will continue the good work and make The Linden High School Debating Club a permanent institution. 2k Pk Pk Pk PK VVe hope that Mr. Ainge's talk has been of help to you in constructive arguing. 44 Egnlgmlmmmmmm-nljmmmmmmmmmmm T H E C Y N O S U R E:1l'EE1G'3ffL7UEUT'.l E1L'lI' ff 5 L,N.M , ,-,, X x , 4 Girls' Glee Club-Boys' Glee Club 45 We regret to say that this concludes the program for the evening.

Complaint of a Pupil to His Report Card To you, O Card, with checkered lines arrayed, I Write this mournful and this doleful plaint, With grieving heart I see your face inlaid With ruddy and with crimson colored paint. To me each mark of red denotes a fault, W'hich stares me insolently in the faceg And as I look, uneasy doubts assault And make my heart to beat a faster pace. What is this dreadful pow'r you wield o'er me, That chains me to you l'ike a servile slave And makes me wish so zealously to flee Across wide lands and o'er the foaming wave? 'You need not guessg you very oft did see His lowered brows and sternly narrowed lip, As from your face he raised his face to me, And made my palsied heart a few beats slip. Louis GLICK, 28.-A 46 wH11mmmmmHDma1HTmmmHDH11ImmmmfmmTHE CYNOSURE mug Z W, ' ull ll' W -rs N X 4' iii - Jw Football HE football team which represented Linden High School during the 1926 season was one that will long be remem- bered by the Linden football fans. The team compiled the best record ever set up by any gridiron team of Linden. It won six straight games, only to lose the important game for the County Championship by a tough break. Although the Orange and Black warriors lost one game, they created an almost unbeliev- able record by keeping their goal line un- crossed against all opponents. Only in two games were they scored upon, one field goal being made by Roselle and one by Roselle Park, the latter points proving the deciding ones for the championship. The anniversary of the discovery of Am- erica was celebrated by the Linden team when it formally opened its season by sound- ly trouncing the representatives of the St. Mary's High School from Perth Amboy at the new high school stadium. The final score was Linden 33, St. Maryys 0. In the next four games against Millburn, Metuchen, Carteret, and Union, the Orange and Black gridders scored exactly 100 points, while the opponents were held scoreless. Then came one of the biggest games of the season, the one with Rosell'e. For five straight years Roselle had held the upper hand in all sports, until Linden won the baseball championship in 1926. Both teams were determined to wing as the result one of the bitterest battles ever staged was wit- nessed. Linden scored first when Rosy,' Givens tallied with a touchdown in the sec- ond period. At the end of the Hrst half Linden led by a 7-0 count. When the en- counter was resumed, Roselle scored by means of a field goal. The score then was Linden 7, Roselle 3. With two minutes to play Captain Sid Atkin squirmed his way 47 through the line for a touchdown and the game. The final score read Linden 13, Ro- selle 3. Following this, came the game with Roselle Park for the County Championship. This game proved a real thriller from start to finish. The Linden players, fighting against great odds and tough breaks, put up their greatest game of the season. The line, when- ever pressed, held like a stone wall. Three times the Roselle Park gridders came with- in scoring distance, but each time the Linden line held. In the third quarter Linden at- tempted a trick play which worked to per- fection, the ball being carried across the goal line. The referee, however, thought differently and brought the ball back, stating that the play was illegal. This verdict proved the down fall of Linden. With three minutes to play Roselle Park secured the ball on Linden's fifteen-yard line. All their at- tempts to carry -the ball were frustrated un- til they attempted a field goal which was completed, and with it went the County Championship. Linden closed its season by trimming the Alumni with a 12-0 score. Among the outstanding stars of the team was Mike Petraitis who played his first year of football and earned a position on the mythical All-County eleven. Captain Sid Atkin also earned the quarterback position on the first All-County team. Rosy Givens, the dusky ace, and his brother Liss were constant threats. The former earned a position on the second All-County team. Somers Osmun and Bruno Stempel were also placed on the second All-County team, holding down the end and center positions respectively. Charles Bouska playedgood ball during the season and was mentioned for the All-County team. u The Football Team As a deadlock resulted in the selection of a captain for the 1927 team, Bruno Stempel and Rosears Givens were elected to alternate as captains for next year's combine. Much is expected from these men. THE VARSITY TEAM Somers Qsmun .,,.,..,..,,.................. Left End Melroy Fornwald ...,..,..,.,..,........

Boys' Basketball Team ' Basketball HE 1927 basketball team of Linden High School, under the able direction of Coach Ted Cooper, completed the most successful season in the history of the school, making a record of thirteen victories in nineteen games. The feature game of the season was the contest with Roselle Park, which was a thriller from beginning to end. The Parkers were first to score and had a small lead at the end of the first quarter. Linden rallied in the second period and, by superior pass- work and shooting, tied the score at 19 all. The third quarter opened with a rush, both teams going strong. Linden started with a basket and was two points to the good at the close of the third period, score 29-27. The last period was a corker. Roselle Park tied the score with about three minutes to go. Linden then made three baskets in a row, and the final whistle blew, ending the game with the Parkers striving to gain pos- session of the ball. The score was Linden 37-Roselle Park 33. Although they held the upper hand throughout most of the game, the Linden team lost to Hillside in the first round of the annual state tournament by the score of 13-10. Captain Charles Bouska played consist- ently well throughout the whole season, and was rewarded for his achievements by being placed on the First All-County Team. Syd- ney Atkin received honorable mention on the All-County Team for his sensational goal shots. Edward Murawski, the lanky forward, put up a good brand of basketball also. Ulysses and Rosears Givens sparkled on the defense and offense. The second team proved to be the best of its class in Union County, and with this material, which by the way is composed en- tirely of Sophomores, with the exception of Stempel, a most successful season is ex- pected for Linden next season.

With six members of last year's cham- pionship nine back in the fold and with practice well begun, a successful season is anticipated. As a result of the organization of the Union County Athletic League keen rivalry is expected for the league cup. The league has drafted the scheduleg and Linden will have to turn back Roselle, Roselle Park, Rahway, VVestf1eld, Hillside, and Summit to win the county championship. The baseball season was opened aus- piciously when the high school team trav- eled to Milburn to beat the team of that city by a 6-3 verdict. On April 23. the Board of Education presented the team a beautiful banner as a reward for winning the County Cham- pionship of 1926. After the ceremonies a county contest was held with Summit, which Linden won with a 5 to 2 score. The following make up a very promising team: Phillip Dobson ..,,.,......l......,.,.....,........

I Girls' Varsity 3:-xskttball Team Girls' Basketball HIS season for the First time in the his- tory of our girls' athletics, all the mem- bers of the basketball team have been Illily equipped with uniforms. Perhaps this par- tially accounts for the great number who came for try outs. However this may be, the members of the varsity showed their appreciation by establishing one of the best records ever made by a Linden girls' team. They ended the 1926-1927 season with a record of five victories out of twelve en- counters. It might have been six out of twelve had not the girls been defeated by the Hillside lassies after an extra period of play. During the season the girls triumphed over St. Mary's Academy, Union, Cranford, and the Alumnae, whom they defeated by a score of 40-10, and tied with North Plain- fielid. Io Molson was adjudged the star for- ward of the season, and with the help of Pat Nogi she ran the score up for 'Lin- den. The line passwork of the center, Sisl' Mauer, and the side-center, Tess Mopsick, deserves special mention as does the guard- Sl ing of both Rene Molson and Becky Hirschman. The members of the second team must also be commended for their active support of the varsity during the basketball season. The captain-elect for the season 1927- 1928 is 'Tatu Nogi. In june, letters will be awarded to the members of the varsity team and to the manager, Ethel Tondora. F VARSITY TEAM M. Molson, Captain ........,..,.....,..... Forward M.

Each room had a team, made up of its best players, which remained in the contest as long as it was victorious. Qne by one the teams were eliminated until the finals, when the only remaining contestants for the championship were the Commercial Seniors and the Commercial juniors. Because of the well-aimed shots of the forwards, Captain Ruth Schonfeld and Frances Hurley, the score for the Seniors at the close of the game was twenty-nine. And through the guarding done by Lydia Covalence, Germaine De VVinter, and Ethel Tondora, the Junior score was held to seven. The center, Madeline Jacob, and the side- center, Mary Nolan, also played excep- tionally well throughout the contest. As a reward, each member will receive her numerals, and the name of the class will be inscribed on the silver loving cup. This is the third year that the Class of '27 has won the championship of the Girls' Inter- class Basketball Games.

So the poet sang, and so it proved i11 our topsy- turvy Springtime.l' For were there not two weddings and rumors of more? Springtime, too, is synonymous for a chattering of birds, and a gentle unrest everywhere. Likewise a loud beating of hearts, chattering of teeth, and shivering of limbs accompanied our Springtime,l' which came in the fall. Nevertheless, the two evening perform- ances of Springtime,,' our first musical comedy, were very successful. The setting, as you have already surmised, was amid the flowers of spring, and the theme was that of the ever stormy course of true love, frustrated for long, but finally reaching a happy consummation in the third generation when the children of the original lovers were married. Adeline Verner and John Davidson, in the roles of heroine and hero, were supported by Irene Molson as Primrose, daughter of Thankfulg Vilinfield Scott, the son of a drug- merchant: Edward Hollister as Bobby, the row with the ladies, Theresa Mopsick as Zenobia, Bobby's termagant wife, Kathryn Mauer as Abigail Tompkins. the designing spinsterg lllesley Ainge, father of Pris- cilla, and Margaret Molson, Margaret Kar- akas, Matilda Nogi, and Margaret Berry, who took the part of townsfolk through whom the story was told. In addition to these, gaily attired Charles- ton dancers, Mardi Gras masquers, scarf and rainbow dancers, and other groups clad in the pantallettes of 1860, the hoop skirts of 1880, and the short skirts of 1927 gave music and color to the scenes. More than a hundred and fifty pupils took part in this musical comedy, which was staged by the Rogers Producing Company with the assistance of some of our teachers. The performances were also successful Hnancially, and the associations, for whose beneHt this comedy was produced, realized their goal. ANNA GOLDENSTEIN, '28. , The Senior Play HERE are entertainments and enter- tainments, but the outstanding event of this type each year is the senior play. As soon as school opens in the fall, the playl' becomes one of the uppermost thoughts in the minds of the Seniors. Each new class is determined that its presentation shall eclipse anything seen in previous years. The Class of '27 was not an exception to the rule. VVe had hardly revived our class or- ganization before question began to arise at meetings: VVhen's the senior play gonna be ? - Say, why can't we have ours two nights instead of one night Pl'- VVhat kind of programs are we going to have, and who's going to print the tickets PM As time was flying, we had to do more than talk. Vile wanted action, so we selected the various committees needed to put the play across, and started to read all the plays we could get our hands on. It was finally decided that Thomas's Come Gut of the Kitchen was best suited to our available talent. And then the fun began. The play depicts the experience of the younger generation of Dangerlields, an old Southern family, who find themselves confronted with the problem of raising a large sum of money needed by their father who is travelling abroad for his health. They decide to rent their home to a millionaire from the North who is very free with his money. At the last moment the young people find that they cannot get white servants, and as the Northerner has specified that he must have a competent staff of white servants, they decide to play the parts of the servants themselves. Of course all the senior boys who wished to be in the play decided that they would play the part of Mr. Crane, the Northerner or of the elder brother in the Dangerfield family, and the girls all planned to take the part of the heroine. It took two or three tryouts to settle the matter, but at last the cast was decided upon, and we settled down to work. The cast consisted of the following seniors: Margaret Molson, as Olivia Dan- gerfieldg Kathryn Mauer, as Elizabeth Dan- gerfieldg Rae Weinstein, as Cora Falknerg Theresa Mopsick, as the haughty Mrs. Falk- nerg Rebecca Hirschman, as Mandy, the old negro servant, Philip Dobson, as Mr. Tucker, Edward Hollister, in the role of Charlie the useful boy , Abe Berger, as the agent of the Dangerfield family, Harry Berzon, as the statistical poet, and Wesley Ainge, as Burton Crane. The members of the cast, however, were not the only ones working hard during these weeks of prepara- tion. The business committee, with Mary Nolan as chairman, and the stage and art committees, under the leadership of Ethel T ondora and Rose Gutkin, as chairmen, proved themselves indispensable. Through the cooperation of the various committees the properties were gathered together, and Finally they stage was all set for our first ap- pearance. The long-waited-for night arrived at last. Eight o'clock--were we nervous? Well, it was our first and last senior play, and it certainly meant a l'ot to us. We had a right to be nervous. Would it be a success? The auditorium was crowded, and if anything should go wrong, if-well nothing did, any- way. Everything went over smoothly, no forgotten parts, no late entrances, not one of the--many things which we had worried about happened. This year's senior play is now a thing of the past. VVe wondered before it was pre- sented whether it would be a success. Now we can look back and see that it was, financially and otherwise, for, although it takes a lot of work to produce such a play, much of the hardest work is really great fun. Let us repeat-there are entertainments and entertainments, but the outstanding event of the school year is, and always has been, the senior play. W. A., '27. ,-ll-.l- Contests Linden High School has always been actively interested in all state and county contests. Our record has been a very satis- factory one, and we have always been proud of our representatives. In this year's County Public Speaking Contest, Linden was ably represented by Lillian Caroff and Edward Hollister. De- spite the fact that competition was unusually keen, wg followed our traditional policy of taking at least one place in the contest, Edward Hollister being awarded first prize. Margaret Molson and VVesley Ainge were our representatives in the Union County Oratorical Contest held in Westfield, the former choosing as the title of her essay The Valuable Use of Leisure Time, and the latter speaking upon The Civil VVar in China . As Linden was not successful in securing a satisfactory grouping with other schools in the Rutgers Interscholastic Debating League this year, our interscholastic debates have been only such as we could arrange with the neighboring schools. Though not able to get into the competition for any of the Rutgers trophies, we have participated in several interesting contests, staging two debates with Hillside High School and one with Roselle Park. In this year's interclass debates, the Juniors were' the victors. The Freshmen defeated the Sophomores, but they were not able to uphold successfully their side of the question in the final debate with the juniors, who had already defeated the senior team. The commercial students are at this time showing great enthusiasm in their prepara- tion for the State T ypewriting and Short- hand Contest to be held sometime in the latter part of April, THE CYNOSURE 55 E 5 gh! rin .- a SP i : T Scene from Come Out of the Kitchen 1 1 1 ' J' - , Cast of Come Out of the Kitchen 56 SOCIAL The Junior and Senior Halloween Party UCH a varied and motley crowd as gath- ered in the High School gymnasium on Halloween was never before seen. not even at Ellis Island. Mother Goose sent repre- sentatives, and japanese, Chinese, and Rus- sian girls crossed the ocean just to be pres- ent. Farmers smoked their pipes in one corner, and clowns danced about entertain- ing some rather large babies Cont quite late, considering their tender yearsj who were happily sucking lollypops. In addition to these strange human beings, there stalked among the assemblage a red and horned creature which certainly must have been the Evil One, himself. The favored spirits whom his Satanic Majesty had brought with him from the Lower Regions were an In- dian brave, a Roman centurion, and Captain Kidd with a few of his bold, bad men. These last with piratical cruelty stopped the dancing to the music supplied by the High School Dance Orchestra and forced everyone to brave the Chamber of Horrors. Hy the groans and screams coming from this room, one imagined what everyone was un- dergoing, although some courageous per- sons said it was really nothing. Everyone who emerged was besmudged with a sub- stance oddly resembling shoe blacking. Games followed, which were supposed to make the participants feel as foolish as pos- sible, and judging from the bursts of laughter from onlookers, the games certainly attained their goal. After prizes were awarded to the pret- tiest, most unique, and most mysterious characters, everyone was invited to the cafeteria to partake of delicious refresh- ments. Then all started for home, unmasked and looking more like the juniors and seniors which they really were than story book peo- ple who had come to life. Thus ended the junior and Senior Halloween Party. Ln.LrAN SMITH, '28 , Football Banquet NE of the most delightful social events of the school year was a banquet ten- dered the football team and their friends by the Board of Education on December 2, in appreciation of the untiring and unselnsh efforts of the members of the team and their coaches to bring home the Union County Football Championship of 1926-27 to Lin- den High School. The high school cafeteria, in which the banquet was held, was prettily decorated with streamers of orange and black, radiat- ing from a football suspended in the center. In a prevailing atmosphere of laughter and good cheer, the hosts, the guests of honor, and their friends enjoyed a delicious meal during which several speakers highly com- mended the team and the coaches for their excellent work and hearty spirit. In appre- ciation of the courtesies of the Board, Cap- tain Sydney Atkin responded to these toasts on behalf of the team. All left with the unanimous opinion that the affair had been a very successful one, a11d with a determination to play even better football next year.

After going a short distance, this band, known as Freshmen, decided to organize, and now they are proud to claim that they were the first Freshman Class to accomplish this. Their next big step was to present the High School with a pair of statuettes. Their boys' basketball team surprised every- one by winning the interclass championship. Finally those brave climbers came to a very dangerous spot, known as Review Path. a level place which seemed easy, but which sometimes proved treacherous, at the end of which loomed the precipitous Ex- amination Clifff' The earnest guides warned them to be especially careful at this place. They were-with a few exceptions-and soon reached a place called Vacation Inn. At the end of a delightful two months at the inn, they resumed their journey and crossed into the Sophomore Territory. Thus they became known as Sophomores. Here they participated in the activities of the country. A large number sang and danced in Springtime, and were inter- ested in athletics and the school organiza- tions, being at all times loyal and enthu- siastic. The Sophomores hope to climb on and on until they reach juniorland and the much coveted Senior Region. Then they expect, after a few struggles with the pos- sible dangers in mountain climbing, to achieve that Final peak, GRADUATION. EDNA TQLEIN, '29. Afternoon Dances FTFRNOON dances have been an in- teresting feature of the social life of the school this year. The seniors began the season and were soon followed by the juniors, the Debating Club, the Athletic Association, and the French Club, all of whom gave enjoyable dances. The French Club's dance was especially picturesque, be- ing given in honor of St. Patrickls Day. A feature of this dance was the dainty refresh- ments in keeping with the holiday, which were served in the cafeteria. The Dance Orchestra should be com- mended for its performance at these parties. Boys' As we go to press, great interest is being shown by the entire school body in the ap- proaching Boys' VVeek. In the popular elec- tions held in the high school auditorium on Thursday, April 28, the elective offices were filled as follows: Mayor, VVesley Aingeg Council1nan-at- large, George Bienfang, and City Clerk, Charles Bouska. The City Council has been elected by the eighth graders, and all other officials will be appointed later by the Council and elective officials in caucus. The main election was a very interesting one and certainly did not lack excitement. Everything was carried on exactly as in a regular city election, each candidate being required to get out a petition for the office for which he was running. Campaign man- agers introduced the candidates at the elec- tion and carried on active campaigns before election day. At the election meeting each candidate made a speech telling why he thought he was suited for the office for which he was running. The votes were then Future Social Events Two of the most important social events of the year, the senior trip and the junior- senior party, are still events of the future. The senior trip will take place on June 10 or ll when the class will go to New York to have dinner and attend a theater. Of course the junior and senior classes are both expectantly awaiting the night of May 19 when the junior-senior party will be given. May these occasions prove as interesting and enjoyable as they have in past years. Student fin chemistryj : VVhat's the mat- ter with these matches? They don't light. Teacher: That's funny, they all lit a moment ago. 59 Week . cast resulting in selections as given above. The program for this year's Boys' VVeek follows: April 28-Election day.

Sometimes plays or sketches are given that are humorous or dramatic. At other times an interesting educational or musical pro- gram is rendered. These programs are usu- ally prepared by pupils under faculty direc- tion, though we sometimes have visiting speakers or entertainers. Among the notable programs furnished by visitors may be mentioned illustrated lec- tures on the Grand Canyons and Indian life in the West and on tribal life in Africa and a delightful musical program rendered by Mr. Farland, a celebrated banjo player. Especially enjoyable programs given by school organizations were a French version of Cinderella presented by the French Club, several humorous one-act plays interpreted by various organizations, an original Saint Patrick Day Comedy given by a Junior sec- tion, two programs of folk songs rendered by the Glee Club, and several programs celebrating special days, or presenting the progress of various departments. NllATILDA Noor, '28 l..T? W , uThe Fire Prince At present one of the biggest centers of enthusiasm in the high school is the operetta, The Fire Prince, to be given soon by the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs. The story deals with Prigio, prince of a mythical king- dom, who is cursed at birth by the gift of too much wisdom. The country is being ravaged by the Fire-Drake, a terrible mon- ster, and on the failure of his two younger brothers to slay the dragon, it is now Prigio's turn to save his people. After many and exciting adventures, the noble prince slays the dragon and incidentally wins a fair young Spanish maiden for his bride. The part of the heroic prince who finally slays the monster is interpreted by John Davidson, and that of his fiancee, Rosa, is played by Irene Molson. These are sup- ported by the following cast: George Bien- fang and Albert Dabb, the brothers of Prince Prigio who are slain by the Fire-Drake, Michael Petraitis, the Wise Man, William Weisbrot as Frederic, a young Spanish offi- cer who falls in love with Theresa, Rosa's bosom companion, played by Florence Brown, Grognio and Isadora, the king and queen of Pantonflia, ably enacted by Win- field Scott and Adeline Verner, respectively. Other important members of the cast are the Duchess, Lillian Smith, Arlene Blancke as Molinda, Grogniois nieceg and Elsie Lerz as Kathleenag Rosa's father, Dan Roderigo, VVesley Aingeg and his butler, Benson, Edwin Rinau. The chorus and four interpretive dancers, Ray Gordon, Rose Schlossberg, Beatrice Le- vine, and Sara Schlossberg, add color to the scene. ,1i..lll- Radio Shorthand Contest Seven of the Senior Commercial girls took the dictation in the Annual Gregg Radio Shorthand Contest which was broad- cast on March 22 from Station W NY C. This was quite an experiment for them, and they felt well rewarded when they all re- ceived certificates because they had qualified in the contest. Those who were awarded certificates in the 100 words per minute dictation were Germaine De Winter, Mary Beviano, Mollie Kravetsky, Mary Nolan, Elin Rosander, and Helen Stead. Frances Hurley qualified in the 80 words per minute dictation. ' After this success many of the girls are planning to enter the shorthand contest in New York City on May 21. , I I 4- wtf AND HUMOR fjlltxg f flag gag 1 mx f , I I f.Hum.n I Proposition VCXI.-The Less We Study, the More We Know Given: .-X pile of books.
