The student body extends to the trustees sin- cere gratitude for successes of the past and for the firm foun- dation which has been laid for the future. Page Eleven Cor. A. L. Bowles JUDGE S. G. MORROW QLIR FACULTY TNDER the supervision of our new principal, james T. Wilson, the faculty of 1931 has made great E' q strides in the promotion of fairness, equality, and truthfulness. This outstanding group of well- trained, efficient instructors has led one more class of seniors up the rung of the ladder of success, to a goal they have spent four years in working to obtain. During our last year, consisting of nine months of hard work, they have cooperated with the seniors and have done their share to make our work as easy as possible. Together with helping us and making our work easier they have been only too glad to share our good times and make our last school days a most pleasant memory. Our faculty consists of members trained in science, mathematics, history, public speaking, dramatics, music, languages, news writing, student government, and coach- ing. Our associations with them has afforded a remark- able opportunity for students determined along any line of profession. With their ever pleasant words of greeting and cheery good-morning smiles, our teachers start the day for us in the right manner, in fact we are not doing them more than justice in saying that the faculty of the Ida M. Fisher High school is one of its most remarkable and outstanding assets. Page Twelve 1 GRACIQ L. BROXWN Florida State College for Women. A.B.

THE MIAMI BEACH PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION E Miami Beach Parent-Teacher Association brings to a close a most successful ig year under the able direction of their president, Mrs. john B. Orr. We are for- L4 tunate to have her serving in this capacity for the coming year. Our attention has been centered on a number of activities but foremost in im- portance we consider our interest in children under weight. With the full cooperation of Miss Blanche Richardson, school nurse, and Miss Katie Dean, assistant super- vising principal, a number of these students were selected and a so-called treatment worked out. This consisted of milk in the forenoon, nourishment of milk and egg content after the lunch hour and two fifteen minute rest periods each day during the school hours. These rest periods were supervised to insure perfect rest and relaxation. Quite a marked improvement and gain in weight has been the result of this experiment. A chart has been kept of each individual and in some cases gain in weight to normal has been reached. This work is interesting and a project we have enjoyed handling. lt was our pleasure and privilege to have with us 875 teachers from Dade and Broward counties for their annual meeting and teachers' conference in the Ida M. Fisher High School. Through the courtesy of the City of Miami Beach they were guests of the Miami Beach Parent-Teacher Association for luncheon. We are duly proud of our schools on Miami Beach and feel that it was a privilege to have had such a wonderful group of educators as our guests for the day, November 1, 1930. As a Parent-Teacher group we are fortunate to serve two such institutions as the Miami Beach Elementary School and the Ida M. Fisher High School. Page Eighteen SENIGRS SENIOR CLASS 1 E, the Senior Class of 1931, on the threshold of a new W phase of our lives, look back over our four years of high H Y school life with a feeling of happiness for the joys we have achieved. But we also have a feeling of regret be- cause of our departure. Y Though but a few of us have attended Ida M. Fisher for the full four years, all of us feel we were part of the school and that at some time each one of us has done something which has added to the distinction and the success of Ida M. Fisher. The things we have accomplished, during our senior year especially, we owe to the standards set before us by the Senior Class of 1930 and to the encouragement and assistance we have received from our teachers and principal. We are especially grateful to our sponsor, Mrs. Carl Men- neken, who has helped us through every difficulty and trouble. To the Senior Class of 1932 we wish every success and happiness for the coming year. Wrrrmm PETER KENNEDY III . . President WILLIAM SWEETING . . . . Vice Preridenz FLORENCE STARR . .

The success of the junior Egg S WE look back over the events of the school year 1930-31 we see the juniors 'ui 6 Carnival was due to the untiring efforts of the members of the class. In athletics they won many victories. On the honor rolls the names of juniors appear fre- quently. Their initiative and hospitality were shown at the banquet which they gave to the Senior class. LOOKING FORWARD As we look forward into the future the junior Class will take its place as the Senior Class-the Class of 1932fand will continue its record of good work and co- operation with the best forces of our school life.

In their efforts to . 1 raise hnances, they found that the old community carnival was not a bad idea. Thus each succeeding group of ambitious juniors has undertaken to stage THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH, each year ,... BIGGER AND BETTER . . . With the custom quite established, THE JUNIOR CARNIVAL of 1950 by its expected out-let of fun, noise, color, and all that a typical group of high school merry- makers might do to develop an old carnival spirit, was one of the best our school has ever experienced. Under the capable and untiring efforts of Mrs. J. C. Brown, who was the faculty director, the juniors did accomplish some really worth-while standards in carnival pro- duction that made their show appear to be the result of an enormous amount of plan- ning and organization. One of the outstanding differences in this year's performance was the moving of the carnival to the street in front of the school, thus converting this into a great midway. The BIG PARADE was also another feature that was new to Fisher carnivals. The exclusion of junior high girls from the queen contest and the greater emphasis put upon the worthy qualities of the candidates brought forth some of our best girls and made it an honor to be nominated. Thus the price of the crown was not merely to boost the money receipts. However, the loyalty to favorite candidates did not lag and Betty Wendler won the crown after a keen race. Every student, the office members, faculty and each department of the school did their level best in cooperating with the junior class to make the 1950 junior Carnival the best. There is also much credit to be given to the civic organizations, merchants, and all other citizens of Miami Beach that helped in this big event of the past year. One of the most constructive things this year's class did to develop the proper school spirit in carnival-making was to give the larger percentage to the clubs which worked the concessions. They did everything possible to make the occasion profitable as a whole-school affair. -+- JLINIOR-SENIOR PROM One of the most outstanding and charming events of the Senior class year, was the junior-Senior Prom Banquet given by the junior class at the Pancoast Hotel, Satur- day evening, May 16, 1931. Several short talks and clever skits made up the program throughout the dinner. Immediately following the banquet, the guests adjourned to the lounge where they danced the remainder of the evening to music furnished by joe Astoria's orchestra.

Only three letter men returned for -- -- our squad last fall and prospects for another great team looked very discouraging. Coach Chestnut, using the three letter men as a nucleus, molded several new and light boys into a fairly strong eleven, and but for a little seasoning and experience might have won six of the eight games played. However, the boys worked hard to learn the fundamentals and showed a true, fighting spirit that would not quit. The boys developed rapidly and most of them are coming back with us next year and are going to give Fisher the strongest team in her career. The boys deserve a world of credit for their effort and perseverance in their at- tempt to give us a team that can compete with our larger schools. The boys lost by graduation are Captain Al Reisman, Raphael Yunes and Harvey Wroe. All the other boys are eagerly expecting to represent Fisher on the gridiron next fall and have a good chance to go through the season undefeated. O Pmre Fifty l BOUT fifteen men reported to Coach Chestnut for basketball. Only two letter men, jack Appleget and Al Hrckland, were available and the prospects for a winning team looked none too bright. However, the boys worked earnestly and long and by the time the season opened several boys were showing up to good advantage and working nicely. The season started off with a bang, by taking Redlands, Lauderdale, and Ponce de Leon in fine fashion, and losing two close games to Miami High. The boys recovered their spirit and began to win more games. After losing a close one to Lemon City the boys got back into shape and beat the University of Miami Freshmen 29-39 for the Eighth District Tournament. By winning two forfeit games in the tournament from Stuart and Ponce de Leon, we reached the semi-finals and again lost a close one to Miami High. The Hicklancl to Appleget combination worked actively in a few games and helped out Strothers, Kenyon, Kennedy, and Muhleman. Boardman and Captain Appleget were the forwards. Novak and Hickland carried the assignment at center. We are expecting big things from all of these players next year, as they will all be back except Novak and Kenyon. Through the able coaching of Chestnut, the boys were able to win 1-4 out of 20 games. BASKETBALL O Page Fifty-one -Z' i' OUR BASKETEERS l I N sports of all kinds it is not a question of whether we won or lost, but how we M played the game. Our plucky basketball contingent could answer that query with l i an open face. By all means they showed themselves to be a group of square shooters both in playing and sportsmanship. At the close of the basketball season, the girls realized their gain by their associa- tion with each other as a team. Strong ties were developed and real friendships had come to them through athletic contactf The girls cannot brag of any wins, but they certainly brought home the bacon by their display of fine sportsmanship. Let's give 'em a rousing cheer. ADDIE MCCORMICK . . . Caafla JEANNETTE HOHBERGER . Capzain NC7RRIliNI2 HLlN1'liR . BETTY CLARK . . SALLY MENDELSCJN . ELIEANOR MAIILE . HARRIIET KAHN .

One of rl the games lost was with Homestead, a game which was stopped on account of rain, the score being four to three. Fisher recovered herself by defeating Home- stead in the second game five to zero. One of the greatest feats accomplished by the team this year was the beating it gave Miami High school, Fisher winning by the score of eight to four. This was the first time Fisher ever defeated Miami High in baseball. The game was played without an error by our team. Coach Chestnut was handicapped by the loss of five letter men who were gradu- ated. The boys who went out this year received much experience and we are looking forward to a state championship team next year.

This group organized with forty charter members at the beginning of the I football season under the sponsorship of Miss Pierce. A need had long been felt for gaining more school enthusiasm for sports and other activities. The girls, under the leadership of Lois Martin, made costumes of black and gold. The Pep Club, in costume, made their initial appearance at a football game, parading and leading cheers. Wliile only making a small beginning this year the club has big plans for the coming year and hopes through their efforts to instill all enthusiasm possible in Fisher activities.

The occasion was that of the annual Easter breakfast. Very shortly after all had arrived, the tasty meal was served, accom- panied by a delightful program. Two talented members of the class who contributed to the entertainment were jack Kelley, who gave two vocal solos, and Natalie Cole, who rendered a piano selection. Mr. Wilson's brief message on this occasion will always be remembered by the members of the class of '31, + PI.

AMINATION GETTA DE PLOMA Page Eizhty-tive Year ent I CLASS HISTORY AND Cl-IRONOLOCY school years around the Patio Pool within the walls of Fisher High. Looking back upon those years we see that many of the familiar faces are gone. Many of those who embarked with us on our voyage from the eighth grade have left for other ports, and those who knew them miss them greatly. The old standbys, who have followed through since freshman days and have been gradu- ated as full-fledged alumni of Fisher High include the following students: Bill Sweeting, Florence Starr, jack Kelley, Barend Beek, Harvey Wroe, Dorothea Beecher, Elmer Novak, Elsie Miller, Louise Wheeler, Florence Moloney, Raphael Yunes, Charles Larimer, Albert Reisman, Phyllis Bierman, Jeannette Hohberger, and Nancy Swift. When the members of the class became freshmen, they bade fare- well to friendly Mr. Rash as home-room teacher, and under the effi- cient supervision of Mr. Menneken, they prepared for senior high school. Then, having become sophomores, they were guided under Miss Waldron's excellent leadership. When they had acquired the prestige of juniors, they were somewhat scattered. Some of them be- ing with Mrs. Menneken's brood of 1lB's and others in Mrs. Brown's l1A's. For the past year, as dignified seniors, they have been under the capable sponsorship of Mrs. Menneken, who has aided them in their class activities and projects. Each year new members have joined the ranks, students from all parts of the country.

Students from both the elementary and high school participated in the events. The May Queen and King were chosen by a popular vote of the children of the fifth and sixth grades, the honors this year being bestowed upon jean Fishburne and jack Strother. The festival of this year was larger in scope than any of previous times, and in- cluded three hundred children in the cast. The main theme centered about the circus, with its clowns, tight rope walkers, balloon girls, miliary band, dancers, freaks and other funny folks that go to make up the life under the big top. X ,Following this came the procession of the king, queen, heralds, pages and atten- dants. To the music of a stately march by the high school orchestra, the king and queen approached their court surrounded by ladies and gentlemen in gay period costumes. The outdoor stage of Fisher High school with a background of tropical shrubbery, festooned with gayly colored lights, lent itself as a perfect setting for a moonlight May Festival.

Trees, houses and Austins were hurled from the ground with terrific force and when Cadillacs, dirty shirts and other heavy objects began to sail hither and yon I realized that a little trouble called a Typhoon was upon us in a rather fretful mood. The school began to rock, students screamed, the roof disappeared and I felt myself sucked up into the madly swirling cloud .... All was dark, little specks danced before my eyes, and I faintly heard a low, dron- ing voice. I sat up, rubbed my eyes and demanded weakly, Where am I and if so, why? No answer. Meanwhile my sight had returned and I discovered that I was in a hospital, alone in a room, with nothing, so far as I could find, wrong with me. I shouted for the nurse in a lusty voice and was immediately told to shut up by some other patients in the vicinity. Then I heard amazed questions and whispers and the sound of running feet in the hall-way outside my room. The door burst open and before me stood the strangest person I have ever seen. Spadoni! I cried, and indeed it was little Edward Petrillo who had grown to the amazing height of 4' and 7 . Standing beside him was a most beautiful nurse whom I determined to be Louise Wheeler. Her melod- ious voice betrayed her. But how they had changed! They had grown up, after everyone had given up hope of their ever reaching maturity. I asked Doctor Petrillo to explain it all. This he did. I found that the year was now 1945 and that I had been unconscious for fourteen years. At this time Dr. Slippersquitz, the great brain specialist of the firm of Larimer, Bernard and Slippersquitz, Brain Specialists, Inc., of New York, arrived. Dr. Slipper- squitz was really Simon Lipton, who had changed his name again. It was rumored that the firm started in business to find out whether said Larimer, Bernard and Lipton had brains or not. They never found out. Dr. Slippersquitz pronounced me as conscious as ever before, and advised me to report to the Rest Lodge of Bierman and Swift, who guaranteed perfect quiet and re- laxation for twenty-four hours a day. Among their satisfied customers were Leon Hall and Eleanor Park who responded to the treatment so well that they both became deaf and dumb and cannot voice any disapproval for the cure. I went to the sanitarium in a taxi at breakneck speed and the rash brute driving the Ford received three summons from a policeman whom I recognized to be Elmer Novak. Novy confessed that he had joined the force to keep out of jail. We left him standing on the corner fighting the driver of a truck bearing the title, Sweeting's Sweet Fish Market in large letters. I knew the driver to be Charles Stamford, as he always claimed that he liked the smell of healthy, brainy fish. We arrived at last at the door of the sanitarium and were met at the door by Elsie Miller who held the position of mattress tester at the place. By the size of the taxi fare I knew the driver to be Raphael Yunes, who drove for the pleasure of helping his fellow man. He told me he got the idea from one of the Rev. Gary Watt's great sermons which brought the house down around his feet. An earth-quake followed the sermon and shook it down. Before-I had time to get inside the sanitarium, a smiling blonde face accosted me and asked if I knew of any employment agencies in the town. He started to tell me the object of his request when I recognized him as Bob Simmons. I looked further and found he was attired in a checkered suit, his thumbs grasping his vest at the arm holes Page Ninety I I r 'Q'-'J and smoking a big black cigar. He then explained that he was the owner of every theater in the city and had gone into the business because of his past experience and training. That night I went to one of his theaters and saw Florence Starr as the mistreated wife, Robert Thomas as the mistreated husband and Barend Beek as the villain, who was the third part of the action. They all gave a remarkable performance as the parts came naturally to them all, especially to Beek who closely resembled Louis Wolheim. Then I went to the opera, known as the Hirsch and Hohberger Cosmopolitan Opera House, without a squeak. On the program was Signor Mephomia Jack Kelley as lead and Norriene Hunter bringing up the rear as prima donna. jack had grown to around six feet, or more definitely, six feet round and had a high, piping voice. Norriene did very well with her deep bass warble. After the opera I went into Harvey's Hash House, owned ahd operated by my friend Harvey Wroe, who, it is rumored, made millions in the business. I was directed to the table by Sumner Barron, the prince of head waiters. I had an excellent meal but soon after felt strange symptoms from my stomach, so I bought a box of Florence Moloney's Golden Discovery, which was guaranteed to cure anything from a head-ache to fallen arches. The Golden Discovery had so much curative property that I resolved to go to Birnkrant's Open-air Theater, where Betty Wendler shone as an actress of distinction. Dorothea Beecher was a great success as the hostess and was leaving for Europe via P. 8: O. in a few days. Sam hated to lose her and the sorrow of her going has made his famous golden voice a little brassy. I discovered that Betty's accompanist was Mary Belle Walston, who worked in the day time at Winifred Hagan's Day Nur- sery which had bigger and better babies than did Sally Dresbach's nursery across the street. But what Sally's proteges lacked in size they made up in teeth as the scar on my ankle will show. As I left for the Rest Lodge in the wee small hours I heard the cry of the early morning newsies announcing that Slippery Dan McGurk had at last been caught by that master-mind of the detective world, Sam Harris, who peddled ice in the summer to keep fit for ping-pong, his most violent sport. Needless to say, the great daily paper was edited by none other than Natalie Cole, who drew a larger salary than Brisbane, McIntyre, and Walter Winchell combined. At last I was at home and in bed. Then I remembered that I had seen everyone of my old grads that day except Al Reisman. With that on my mind I fell asleep. Next morning I received a bill from Dr. Petrillo for 334,365,973.45 for fourteen years services in his hospital. I had to find a hock shop, and that immediately. I found Uncle Al's Pawn Shop in a side street and met the owner, a fat, smiling money lender who loaned me the entire amount for my Fisher ring. Then I made the great discov- ery! Uncle Al was none other than Albert Reisman, who got the idea from an uncle in Siberia way back in 1931. Satisfied with my lot and that of my old friends, I left the pawn shop with a feel- ing of satisfaction to take the position as head of the street cleaning force of the city of Ebo junction and to receive the official title of Dust-Remover Etc.

GEN. PALMER E. PIERCE U. S. A. fretiredj Assistant to the President, Standard Oil Company, New Jersey. For two reasons is Spanish important: First, as a distinct aid to culture, and, secondly, for its commercial value. It seems to me self-evident that this beautiful language has a great cultural value. The study of it produces mental training comparable to that of any other modern lang- uage .... And after mastery, it opens up a great field of literature to the inquiring student. In a discussion of the importance of a knowl- edge of Spanish to commerce, we claim to speak with more authority. It is the national tongue of all the southern republics, except Brazil. Now we are especially interested in them because so much of the prosperity of the United States de- pends on our mutual trade, This trade has in- creased by leaps and bounds until it amounts to about two million of dollars annually. Inciden-f tally, our investments in them are four or five times as much. Looking into the future, these mutual interests are sure to increase, for Central America and South America are great storehouses of raw materials which we need, and their nationals re- quire our manufactured articles in increasing amounts as their standards of living are raised. lt may be interesting to note that the balance of trade has been in favor of our southern neighbors in the considerable sum of more than a hundred million dollars. It is believed that good understanding between Spanish-American nations and the United States will be beneficial commercially. One of the re- quisites is an ability on our part to talk and read the writings of these Spanish-speaking peoples. One hundred million people speak English. They live in Spain and twenty American nations. !Viva Espana. y La. America del Sur!

Ties brought from Oregon and rails from Pittsburgh were used in the construction of rail- roads in Bolivia. The Republic of Argentina contains more than a million square miles. If this area were divided among its inhabitants each one would have eighty-five English acres. In France or England each person would have only one acre. The greatest city of Spanish speech is not situated in Spain but on the shores of the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires. It is almost twice as large as Madrid. It is progressive and modern with parks, subways, hospitals, hotels, clubs and schools. Outside of the capital Argentina is best known for its wheat and cattle. Frozen meat is shipped from Argentina to all the cardinal points and the hides make shoes for millions of human feet. Ecuador is one of the greatest producers of cocoa in the world. Much North American capital has been in- vested in Colombia for the construction of rail- ways and highways. Its emerald mines are ex- tensive. Chile is a progressive country, rich in nitrate and other minerals. The resources of Brazil are unlimited with a great undeveloped area.

Their midday oc- curred at the Nona hour Qninth hourj and from this has come our word n0on. That the expression Thumbs Down, comes to us from the times when the gladi- torial games were held in Rome? If vestal virgins placed their thumbs down, it meant that the wounded gladiator, begging for mercy, was to be killedg but if they put their thumbs up, life would be granted to the fallen man. That 'adieu' is derived from 'ad Qtoj and 'Deus' fGodQ? It was originally a farewell wish commending a person to the care of the gods, similar to our expression God be with you .

Pala Ninety-seven FRENCH DEPARTMENT LA BELLE LANGUE FRANCAISE fBy Arthur Greene, 11Aj French. acclaimed by many linguists as the most beautiful of all European tongues. is Sur- passed in popularity only by our own, the Eng- lish. This may sound a bit strange to some, but in a recent survey, the fact was brought to light that there are one hundred and ten million French speaking peopl? ifl the world today. While there are only fifty-five million speaking Spanish. In European countries, French was the court language for centuries. It was chosen for its great exactness and beauty. It is, therefore, a language of diplomacy. A Frenchman cannot say one thing and mean another. We are told that the royal assent to acts of Parliament is still given in French, while the Garter Plates in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, are yet inscribed in the same tongue. + LA MARSEILLAISE fBy Florenre Slarr, 12Aj The story of the composition of the famous French anthem, La Marseillaise, is most unusual and interesting. Though it took but one night in which to be composed, it has come down through the years as the recognized national anthem of France and it is acclaimed as one of the most stirring songs in the world. In the small village of Strasbourg, France, in the year 1792, excitement ran high among the townspeople because news had just been re- ceived that the armies of Austria and Prussia were marching on republican France to help restore the deposed king, Louis VI. The mayor of Strasbourg called an assembly of the townspeople at his home one evening for the purpose of holding a patriotic meeting, at which they would sing the martial music of France. But when the people assembled they could find no song which truly represented the aroused patriotism and the indomitable spirit of France, and they were, therefore, keenly disap- pointed. Finally the mayor offered a prize to anyone who would compose such a song. The people prevailed upon young Monsieur Joseph Rouget of Lisle, an officer of the engineering corps of the army of the Rhine, and an accomplished musician, to compose a suitable melody. At first he hesitated because he felt he could not com- pose anything fine enough to be- an anthem of France. But he finally agreed to try and he was left alone for a while. Later, when the people knocked upon his door to inquire about the song they received no response and came in to find him asleep, exhau ted by his efforts. Under his outstretched hand lay the words and music of what is now known as La Marseillaise. There in the home of the mayor of Stras- bourg, within a few hours time, a song had been written, so beautiful and so full of patriotism that it has lived through the years. Even to the present day it stirs the heart of every French- man and helps him to bear the troubles of his beloved mother country, France. But even though La Marseillaise is a song of France it has in- spired and encouraged patriots of all nations be- cause it is the truest song of democracy and freedom the world has ever known. + THE WORLDS GREATEST HEROINE fBy Helene Hirfcb, 12Bj Histories and other books of information seem to be filled with stories of heroes and their thrilling deeds, and for the most part this seems to be one place in which women are very much in the background. If one stops to remember, however, the French slogan, Cherchez la femme, we can readily believe that behind every great and noble deed, as behind every terrible crime, some woman has been the impelling forceg some wife, mother or sweetheart has subtly urged or coaxed this hero or that on to greater fame or glory. Consider again, and you will find that there have been a few heroines who have shown in their own light and not in the reflected glory of their husbands or sweethearts. Such was Jeanne d'Arcl Alone, of all the heroines, Jeanne d'Arc was the most superb. the most glorious, and her deed was one of the most spectacular in history! Critics seem to be widely divided in their sentiment as to the true nature of Jeanne d'Arc's motives. Some have considered her merely an sdventuress who schemed to gain favor in the eyes of the court: others have considered her mentally unbalanced-a highly religious fanatic: while still others, particularly those persons of strong religious convictions, believe her to have been divinely inspired. Now, whatever her mo- tives or desires might have been, it is this writ- er's opinion, that Jeanne should be judged solely by what she accomplished: and if she is so judged her works can be seen in any light as among the greatest of patriotic deeds, and Jeanne d'Arc will be revealed as most glamorous and the noblest of heroines. Many centuries have passed since the Maid of Orleans, in her coat of shining armour, mounted her charger and sped over the battle- fields of France cheering and leading her in- spired army to victory. Many, many years have passed since she was cruelly burned at the stake in Rouen and her ashes scattered to the four winds, but that indomitable spirit will live on forever! The soul of Jeanne d'Arc ill live through the ages as the most glorious figure in the his- tory of France and will continue to inspire the people and the armies of France for all time to come! Page Ninety-eight HE popularity of golf has increased greatly in the past twenty years, interest being aroused by the English professional, Harry Wardon, and Americas greatest golfer Bobby Jones. Millions of people are now playing it, or at it, in one form or another. GOLF The origin of golf goes back hundreds of years. The Romans played the game with a leather ball stuffed with feathers and seemed to enjoy it. The Dutch indulged in one of its various forms before the Scotch played it, but it took the Scotch to make it popular. As early as the fifteenth century the Highlanders were fined for playing golf on Sunday. It rapidly gained enthusiasts, and in a short time golf clubs were organized there. One of the oldest today is the well known Royal and Ancient Golf Course of St. Andrews. In those days the heads and shafts of the clubs were fashioned by hand. Thus few clubs were used. To play well one had to be capable of using one club for various types of shots. Only in recent years have clubs been manufactured by machinery. A smooth gutta percha ball which gave a com- paratively small distance was used at Hrst. As it was found that the golf balls which were badly marked could be controlled easier, the manufacturers eventually roughened the covering in the form of mesh and dimple mark- ings. Later the gutta percha ball was changed to a ball having a rubber core, which, since it added distance, made the game easier. Spaulding made the first golf ball ever made in this country. Golf is a game where success depends wholly upon skill and tempera- ment. One must remain calm after having made a poor shot. Golf not only offers amusement, but relaxation for the tired business man, and healthful exercise for us all. l W1'iltell by Evelyn B. jacob! Page Ninety- ESSAY CDN TIME HE world is made up of common things goes the saying. And referring to com- , mon things, it occurs to me that none is more common than time. I often wonder if anyone ever undertook to write a history or a collection of the vital influences time has had in the history of the world. Moreover, it seems to me that inas- much as no one has ever conceived a definition or a true mental picture of time, it is amazing how common is the use of the word itself. When one misses his train, by saying I did not have enough time, he may free himself from all blame and place it on time-a term he can neither define nor conceive of. If because of loitering along my route, I am late to school, I may place the blame also on time. A man, bored on a long rainy afternoon when he wanted to be on the beach, started cursing violently, and the object of his angry passion was time -un- definable, inconceivable and existing only on paper. What is there about this word which is so vital, such a hardy object upon which to place blame? Scientists, studying and trying to analyze time, have stated it to be the fourth di- mension. Time may even be used for advertising, as evidenced by the clock atop the Blackstone Hotel, broadcasting time to the world. Time is essential in a school system -the school should be disrupted if the clocks were suddenly stopped. The measurement of time has worried scientists for centuries. From the earliest times, man has striven to obtain accurate measure of time. He began with only sun-time, advanced through the sand-glass stage to the modern pendulum idea, discovered by Newton many years ago as the most accurate method of measuring time yet conceived. Now electric clocks have been introduced, a strictly modern time telling system. Who knows what new innovations will be discovered in the next few years, perhaps revolu- tionizing our ideas of the present day regarding time? All in all, the subject of time is not to be lightly passed over. Essential and vital as it is to our daily lives, we cannot escape it. Then should we not endeavor to divide our time, precious as it is, into the best possible periods? When you next pull out your watch, perhaps it would do you no harm to pause and reflect if you have made thebest possible use of the last hour, and resolve in the next to make the best possible use of this strange factor in our daily lives. Written by Robe Carson Page One hundred 'Q A PUBLIC PARK HE autumn leaves were sent dancing merrily across the spacious lawns, I winding walks, and paved drives of the park by the fitful gusts of I October wind. Here and there a chattering grey squirrel, with his curved bushy tail, would wind his way up and down the trunk of an oak or elm, scurry across the ground, or, having secured a large nut or crumb, would poise himself upon a small Please keep off the grass sign, or in the seat of a vacant bench, nibbling contentedly. It can hardly be said that the wide concrete walks had been swept re:ently, littered as they were with the crisp, brightly colored leaves, which could by no means be kept entirely cleared away, but which did not give the place an altogether untidy appearance. Half way up to the graceful tree boughs sprang the shimmering waters of a fountain, in the center of the park. The late afternoon sun cast multi- colored rays of light into the spray, which played about the group of cast- iron elfin images, and fell into the sparkling pool below. In a wide circle around the fountain lay the concrete walks, which, edged with low wire fencing and flower beds, circled and curved about the park, around shrub- bery, under vine-covered arches, and among the green benches. All these elements seemed to have a soothing, peaceful effect on the people who visited the park. Children played and ran up and down the walks, displaying their delight in feeding the flocks of purple and white pigeons. Sometimes a nurse or a young mother, wheeling a sleeping baby in its carriage, a boy pushing an invalid in a wheelchair, a pair of happy youthful lovers, or a shabbily dressed old woman or man strolled by, en- grossed with his or her own interest and thoughts, but each having a smile of contentment and an air of security.

Page One hundred and tw MAN'S CONQUEST GVER NATURE As far as the eye can see, Man's contributions to a world at one time made up of nothing but nature, loom on every side like human devices which seem to say, I will conquer! Airships soar through the sky like prairie birds seeking a prey. Steamers like ocean palaces float by with the dignity of one who succeeds. Skyscrapers stretch their lofty arms upward striving to reach the top. In the center of the har- bor, which seems to give succeeding it, an island rests in tranquility, save for its visitors who come to observe one of the most remarkable masterpieces of the times, a marble statue of a goddess holding high the torch of liberty with an expression of contentment on her proud face. In the distance a small peninsula can be seen which boasts of the harboric vegetation with which it is fringed but which seems to utter a sigh and exclaim, How long shall it be before I too am a victim?
