As The Earth Turns PURRING the geologist on in his investigation of the universe's structure is that un- ceasing desire to find new things which have produced changes in the earth. How com- parable this desire is to the pilgrimage our class has taken in search of new realms. The geologist finds as much pleasure in reviewing records concerning the history of the earth as We do in remembering the successive changes of four years in high school life. In recalling freshman life one will not forget that Miss Page and Mr. La Follette were the home room teachers for that year, and that about twenty five students from West Men- tor came to join forces with us. Clare Smallwood and Dale Barnes held the presidential offices, and the social highlight of the year was Miss Page's delightful Christmas party. The geologist might call the second great change the Paleontological period, but we'll call it the sophomore year. Jack Ahlman and lylalcolm Scott were the presidents that term, and that was the year that Malcolm carried away the school oratorical honors. Martha Chase, Nancy Field, and Adelaide Glendenning were welcome additions to the class, and Miss Otto and lVIr. Krauss were the home room advisers. The dramatic club reached great heights with their presentation of Noel Coward's Hay Ifezver and we let no one forget that it was the sophomores who contributed Adelaide Glendenning, Helen Enyeart, and Clare Sinallwood to its cast. Our junior year, bubbling over with activity, would have given slow, g1'adual geologi- cal agents a time record to be envied. An event that stood out from the others during this year was the Prom at the Yacht Club with committee members Betty Daniels, Frances Hunsicker, Ruth VVinfield, Clare Smallwood, Robert Loudon, Lumley VVilson, and Malcolm Scott in the receiving line. Malcolm Scott was at the helm, having been elected to the class presidency. We pub- lished an issue of the Com-Mentor, with Elaine Brown as editor, headlining the junior play. The Prince of Peace Contest had as its winner Betty Taylor. Miss Craig and Mr. Oswald were the home rooin teachers. Another event, second to none, was the class play Kcnzpy which attracted first night- ersn from far and near. VVhen the eccentric members of the Bence family got started, the play was given plot with a capital P. Included in the cast were Verdabelle Abbott, Jane, Helen Peck, Mrs. Benceg Clare Simallwood, Kate, Betty Taylor, Ruth, Jack Ahlman, Mr. Benceg Ben Crawford, Ben VVadeg Robert Irouden, Kemp James, and Lumley Wilson, Duke. As an appropriate climax to the reading of The Crmterbury Tales, we were hosts at a Chaucer banquet. Hilarity reigned supreme and even our guests, the seniors, tossed aside their dignity to enter into a genuine fourteenth century spirit. Singing, dancing, juggling, and dining in the true Chaucerian manner gave the occasion a festive air. High school day at Oberlin College attracted Martha Chase, Helen Peck, Elaine Brown, Doris Booth, Robert Smith, and Lumley VVilson. The call of Science lured chemistry students to open house at Case School of Applied Science. Answering the call were Helen Peck, Frances Hunsicker, Doris Booth, Betty Tay- lor, Clare Smallwood, Martha Chase, Elaine Brown, Merle Maltby, Jack Ahlman, Iiumley VVilson, and Robert Smith. In '37, as seniors, Annie Lanka and Lytle Stone were added to the class personnel, Elaine Brown became president, and Miss Jones and Miss Hanway were the home room advisers. Malcolm Scott took over the Student Council presidency and Verdabelle Abbott became editor of the Coin-Mentor. Betty Taylor was chosen queen of the annual installa- tion service and Helen Peck was elected editor of the class publication Cardinal Notes. Betty Taylor again took the Prince of Peace Contest honors with Helen Peck winning second. TWE NTY-TIVO

AQUARIUS Verdebelle Abbott, popular concert pianist, is touring abroad. This season finds her appearing in Switzerland, where she is captivating the hearts of the natives with her latest hobby, yodeling. The combination of llliss Abhott's voice and piano floating over the Alps, triple-thrilling the third movement from the Ladeeo', is said to he irresistable. Malcolm Scott, prominent orator and lecturer, is now a literary lion much sought after by XV0lHCIl,S clubs, department stores, etc. Just off the presses is his latest hook, The Type- writer Is Mightier Than the Penf, Parinelee Swaine and lllerwin Hunliin are collaborating to completely revolutionize air travel. There is a slight disagreement, however, which is holding up production of their new plane model. Parmelee insists that it must he modelled after tropical sword-fish, while hlerwin is holding out for the sardine-type designs. CA N C ER All eyes are turned toward Gladys Sellers whose fashion designs represent the latest trend. Her most recent idea is to have madame's dog dyed to match her costume. Paul Agard, most prominent exponent of the art of nlodernistic housepainting, says this idea is not so new-madame should go a step further and match up her dress colors to her house colors. Thus, if madame's wardrobe is in four colors, her house should also be in four colors, and so forth. TAURVS Helen Peck, former dramatic star, is now touring the country, lecturing on subjects of vital interest. lVe should return to the dramatic standards of 1937, says Miss Peck. The world can progress no farther. lve must go hack or go into another Dark Age? The world at large will be startled to hear that Harold Summerville is writing a se- quel to The YVoodcarver of 'l.ympus.,' The new version will conform to lllOfll'l'll 1'ules of industrial arts. Bill YVoodworth has received much publicity regarding his efforts to stage a come-back for the days of chivalry when fair ladies were serenaded with poetry and love ly1'ics. How- ever, Bill should concentrate on his scientific pursuits. Donald Moss has incorporated a new line of busses which cause a sensation on the avenue. Bob Louden, who has enjoyed a steady rise in the designing field, planned these busses, and modelled them after the Dachsund. LE O Brimming over with charm, lllartha Chase is proving to be an excellent resort hostess. She even has the tourists sportively inclined,and sliding down hannisters is a favorite pas- time. James De George, former circus owner, 1s now concentrating on ventriloquistic art- l1e plans to he the first ventriloquist to crash the amateur programs. C0l1flII,Ilt'II on Page 56 'IWVE NTY-ONE

In connection with Olll' study of the drama, English students journeyed in to see Leslie Howard portray Hamlet at the Hanna Theatre. Vcrdabellc Abbott, Helen Peck, Clare Smallwood, and Frances Hunsicker returned deeply impressed by a most stirring, dramatic performance. The screen version of Romeo and Juliet at the Park Theatre attracted Martha Chase, Verdabelle Abbott, Betty Taylor, Dawn Campbell, Jeanne Corbley, Clare Smallwood, Joyce Luther, Elaine Brown, Betty Daniels, Frances Hunsicker, Helen Peck, and Malcolm Scott. This was also in connection with drama classes. Another event going down in history was the dance we sponsored using Friday the Thirteenth as its theme, and then the1'e was our Christmas party to add to a long list of SHCCGSSCS. As the Stunt Asembly began to roll around we learned that streamlines and Hey Babe made an excellent combination. The Senior Ballet starred Carl Hammel, Lytle Stone, Harold Summerville, Robert Smith, John Horn, Lumley VVilson, Frank Fatica, and Sterl- ing Armstrong. Our contribution won first honors which only went to prove that fifty senior Mentoritcs couldn't be wrong. Yes, the search for new things is a tendency prevailing in the lives of both geologists and the erstwhile seniors.
