JN N X The Man Who Killed Lincoln Philip Van Doren Stern John Wilkes Booth associated Lincoln with the troubles of the South. He thought of Lincoln as the cause of all Confed- erate troubles. In his opinion, Lincoln couldn't he allowed to live. Fbr some time he had been planning to capture Lincoln and convey him as a prisoner of war to the Confedcrates. With the announcement of Lee's surrender, he found that he must kill Lincoln. ' ' A ' After much deliberation and planning, he killed Lincoln at Fbrd's theatre on April lith. His associates were supposed to kill other high government officials and meet Booth in Maryland. The others failed, Bower fled to Maryland. In escaping from the theatre where he shot Lincoln. hee-Eh had caught his foot in some drapes and broke his ehktc, Because of this injury, he could not make much speed. 1 fold, one of his associates, joined him after leaving Washinvten. He felt the need of a doctor to bandage his ankle despite his need to escape. He went to Dr. Mudd whom he had previously approached concerning his abduction plot. Dr. Mudd hound the ankle hut wanted Booth to leave after learning of 3nothYs deed. Believing he could get help from Samuel Cox, he went to him only to be refused help by Cox, who was enraged to hear that Booth had killed Lincoln, However, Booth and Herald found Thomas Jones who offered to get them food and to assist them across the Potomac. For five days Beech and Herald stayed in the thicket. They killed their horses to avoid detection hy searching soldiers. Eooth's ankle paiaed him greatly and he contracted a high fever. Finally they cruised the Potomac or so they ihought. On the morning of April 22th, they found that they more still in Maryland. That night they tried again and succeeded. They landed at Gambo Creeks, Herold was sent for help and food. He was refused by one woman but a Mr. D ryant offered to help for a price. Since Booth had crutches and couldn't make much progress, they wanted a wagon. They only succeeded in obtaining a couple of horses and moved on, They arrived at Port Conway and crossed the Rappahannock river. They put up at the Garrett farm not far away. After two days, the snldiers caueht up with Booth and Hertld.. On the morning of april 26th he and Herold were captured. In order to met them, the soldiers had to burn down the barn in which Poeth had spent the night. Booth was shot as he started to fire his gun. The man who shot him was Boston Corbett. The other memhers of Booth's conspiracy were caught and hanged after a trial. Life of Booth: Booth was born in 1850 on a farm near Belair, Maryland. Because he loved his mother, he promised her that he would not join the Confederate army. He and his brothers were actors as had been his father. Booth had formed quite a conspiracy against the North. In his mind he believed that he was doing the South a great favor. The South, contrary to his belief, couldn't arise and start fighting again as soon as he killed Lincoln. After a few days of refuge, he realized that the South was too badly beaten. His only hope was to get to Mexico where he could he free. He wrote several confessions of his crime explaining the reasons thoroughly. Because of his notion, he ruined the life of several other people, besides Lincoln, who were at the Theatre with him on that fateful night of April ldth, Robert Belden '47 Your Best Friend The Greatest friend a man can get, Is a loyal dog, whoill never fret. He goes with you, no matter where, And never has a worry or care. Every morning he greets you with happy eyes. With more of joy, than you realize. He plays with you when youfre alone, And talks with you in a style of his own. Some are large, others are small, But each will answer to his master's call. Some are skinny, old and blind, l But still the best friend you can find. Stuart Bryant '47 I 4........,.., ,......,-, , 'W 1lF' THE BGG AND I Betty MacDonald In the mining town of Boulder, Colorado there was born to Irs. Darsie Bard, a red-haired daughter who was named Anne Elizabeth Campbell Bard. nBetty'sN maternal ancestors were Dutch. Ten Eyck was their name, and they settled in New York in 1613. Her father's family name was Campbell. The Campbells cane to Virginia from Scotland. They were all well-bred people except for WGannyW who were her shoes on the wrong feet, and married a yellow-eyed gambler, Janes Bard of Bardstown, Kentucky. A few months after Betty was born, her mother received a wire from her father telling her to cone to Mexico City which she did. From Mexico they moved to Placerville, Idaho where Betty's brother, Sydney Cleveland, was born. Thence they moved to Butte,'Ebntana wiere they remained for four years. Durinj this time, Betty's sister Darsie was born. 1 In the summers, they sgent most of their time in the moun- tains , where they were taught by their mother and father to love danger and excitement. Their grandmother taught then to avoid danger and be constantly alert against it. nGannyW kept then inside the cabin and read such books as The Bible, Pilgrin's Progress, The Little Colonel, The Wizard of Oz, The Five Little T Peggers and all of the books of Zane Grey, Dickens, Thacheray, Lewis Carroll, and Kipling to then. . 4 When Betty was nine years, old they moved to Seattle, Wash- ington, where preparedness for the future began. Betty and her sisters were-given lessons in singing, piano, folk dancing, ballet, French, and dramatic arts. They also had to follow a strict health program. They ate no salt, never drank water with their nealsg chewed their food one hundred times, get ug at five o'clock in the norninjg and took cold baths. They exercised to nusic and played tennis. To keep their minds healthy they were not allowed to read funny papers or go to When Betty economy measure and ballet, and Betty went seventeen years the movies. was twelve years old her father died. As an they had to stop all their lessons except piano entered public school in the fall. through high school with honors. When she was old and a sophomore in college, her brother Cleve 1 brought home Bob MacDonald, for the weekend. Bob took Betty dancino and to the novies. The result was that Betty fell head -.J over heels in love with him. They were iarried when she was eighteen. Bob decided that he wanted to have a chicken farm. He bought one in the Olympic Mountains. Their home was originally a log cabin, but rooms were added to it, , Any' we +4.-4..,i 'i' 'IY Betty's life followed a more or less set routine. Monday, .nshday, meant carrying all the water from the spring, tryin, tu make soapsnds in that hard water, and in winter having clothes hanging in the house drying for days. Tuesday, ironing day, was a process of heating the iron on the stove, wiping off the soot, heating it all over again, for by that time, it had and then cooled off. Wednesday was baking dayg another struggle, with the stove which refused to Let hot. Thursday was scrub day, and Betty literally scrubbed all the woodwork in the house. Friday she cleaned lamps and lamp chimneys, only to have then all sucked up again, as soon as the lamps vere lit. Saturday was market day. Bob and Betty jonnccd to town, and back again, in the old' Ford Truck, and usually forgot to get the nost important things. Sunday was a day of peace when Betty only washed her hair, cooked dinner, straightened up the house and acted lazy. Spring Betty rave birth to a red-haired daughter, neant more work. She didn't mind this for she loved Anne. In the Anne . This to care for After struggling on the farm for a number of years, with no water, electricity, or modern conveniences, Betty, Anne, and Bob finally moved onto the chicken farm of their dreams. They had all modern conveniences. I imagine this new none seemed like heaven to Betty. Rosemary Sullivan '57 Mr. Duprey Our History class has skull practice To near Mr. Duprey say what he nay.

The most promising plan to shape the'German mind of the future been the doing of has the young G.I., himself. In Bremen, Germany, where juvenile crime and underground Nazi activity were stopped last spring, a Minnesota Irishman, Master Sergeant Datrick Moriarty, collected nine of his G.I. friends who believed that if the German children are left to themselves they will grow up living for the day they can fight another war. Horiarty and his friends started a club for boys ' from the ages of 10 to 17. and advertised in the local youngsters responded to the ted lOO who answered their Q telligently.

Seavenging, which is so connon and denoralizing in Germany took a sharp drop ' Club members among Horiarty's boys. ' proved receptive to sound political ideas. They were fascinated when told to elect their own governing committee by secret ballot, were even more delighted when in- formed that they could remove the committee if it became un- popular.

The GI'S had nisgivings about giving up any of their spare time, but despite resistance, the program gathered rapidly. - The GYA'S organizers soon discovered that sports were the best way to get the interest of the boys.

Among them is a kid with a new glove, a baseball glove, which still has signs of that white powder which is put in new gloves Yes, it still has that peculiar smell which tells you it has never been tried out. Ever since Christmas he has been wishing the snow would clear off. Then, he could go outside and show the kids in the neighborhood his new glove. Maybe its a Bob Feller model or maybe it's a model of the glove his favorite player uses. 1 Then, maybe, the kid next door has a new baseball and bat. Yeh, the new ball which is still as white as when it came out of the box. The crack of the bat which means that Spring is here and the kids will soon be getting together for that first game. Sure he has a new bat and if he could only get outside he'd show the other kids he was a second Hank Greenberg or better than any number of famous ball players. - Yes, these are the kids in the neighborhood and they all hold the signs of Spring, the signs being the new glove, new ball and bats Yes, these are the kids of our country and their country. Richard Warrington '48 An Embarrassing Moment The day before Christmas I was waiting for the train in North Station. I had been shopping in Boston with my two sisters. When it came time for the train to pull in, there I was, standing alone, I had lost my sisters. I didnft know ' which gate to go to and I knew my train was already there. I was too far away from an information booth, so, I asked a sailor if he knew. He was very nice and said he was going on the same train. He asked if he could help carry some of my packages. Not thinking, I gave him the biggest box, which contained a doll that I had bought for a friend. While we were running to our gate, the sailor tipped the box just right and the doll began to call for uMaman. We couldn't stop it from crying and we were so embarrassed we didn't dare look at the -other people. Everyone was laughing, and you can imagine how I felt. ' Finally, we stopped the baby's wails and got on the train where I found my sisters waiting for me. I quickly resolved to do my shopping a little nearer home next Christmas. nConnien Barnes '50 x 1 v r 2 Q 5 x 3 Teachers of P. H. S. Mr Davenport is our Principal. .

KENT RICHARD WARRINGTON GRACE EVELYN UPHAM MRS. DEAN MAY LePOER Managers LAWRENCE WHITE I STEWART BRYANT Prompters BEVERLEY ELLIOTT CARLYN BRYANT Coach MISS JOAN KEATING SENIOR 'PLAY Hinty, rich, beautiful, and spoiled and Fanny, her London housemaid, have'just arrived from London to get away from society, gossip, and men! They have acquired a quaint little' cottage, set away from all towns with only one house in sight, and that is surrounded by'a huge golf course. After making a quick survey of the house, with Fanny right on her tail, Minty definitely decides that she is going to, at last, enjoy a few peaceful days in the country. A N Of course things are going much too smoothly to last, so about twenty minutes later who should appear but the charming Miss Tillingtop--Miss Hinty1s aunt! She refuses to letf in y persuade her to go back to london and makes up her mind that something must be wrong and the people back in London will surely find it out. ' When the house is empty for a few minutes, a young couple look in the door and seem surprised to find it occupied, When- they hear foot-steps approaching, they disappear out the door, but'Peter stays outside by the hedge to see who the occupants' are, and is very much surprised when he sees such a beautiful, young woman as'Miss Minty enter the room. Just then, when Fanny has finally be ome acquainted with the queer and quiet little cottage, Peter is hit on the head and in the process he screams--this was immediately followed by Fanny's famous HE--owln Miss Uinty finally persuades her housemaid to help he r with t he limp body of Peter before her' aunt finds h im. While Fanny is supposedly going for'a doctor, another strange man comes strolling up the front walk. He is a kind, but a very forgetful, old gentleman whose name is Hr. Kent. Miss Tiliixgtop soon appears in the room to find out about the unfamiliar voice she has heard. She at once takes'a fancy to the kind old gentleman and goes for a walk with him. Sean after they have left, Fanny appears'from the kitchen and inquires about the suspicious looking man. She confesses that she didn't go for the doctor because she didnft want to leave her mistress with this odd man. Miss Minty is quite up-set so she and Fanny go out into the kitchen to see if they can find anything to bring Peter to consciousness. 'In the meantime Peter awakens and is all ready to dash'out the door when he hears people coming back into the room, so he hides under the window seat. From that time, in the middle of the afternoon, until everyone has gone to bed, Peter spends his time running between the'window seat and the empty chest'at the other side of the room. Later on in that same evening, Grace comes back looking for him and she is almost caught in the act and has to hide. Therefore, it makes two people hiding in one room. When it is finally safe, they both come out from their respective places and make plans. Peter is going to stay there and try ' to find out who had hit him on the head and Grace is to go home. The same evening Mr. Kent comes back to make'a visit to' Miss Tillingtop and to talk about his housekeeper, Mrs. Dean, and how faithful she has been to him and to his children, Grace and Peter. This'conversation continues until they decide to go for another walk, By this time Miss Minty has acquired enough nerve to make sure that no one is in' the room. She goes over to the' chest and there, crouched down, with his head between his knees, is Peter. Minty demands a full explanation of everything and 12' -TA gtg' 1 5 fr 3 s. 4 i if A , iz, JL' jf? after making a full confession of how he was trying to find out who hit him on the he-d, he goes still further to tell her that he loves her and wants to marry her. Yell, naturally, she 9 accents! In the meantime, Hr. Kent and Aunt Aggie return from . their walk and also seen to have the situation well in hand. It is'revealed that the would-be murderer of Peter is his' own father, Mr. Kent. However, it was an accident that the golf ball, driven from the nearby golf course, hit the young man on the head and caused all the confusion that ends so happily for everyone concerned. ' ' 'Fanny,completely bewildered by all the actions, decides that the best thing for her to do is to humor them all. Virginia Bates 'L7 THE LATT HALF-HOUR BEFORE CURTAIN TIME Twelve nervous, excited, finger-nail chewing teen-agers wandered frantically around during that trying last half-hour before the curtain went up.

Consequently, we were finishiny our decorations Friday afternoon. ' All our labors were rewarded though, when at of our dseoratiny, our Faculty unanimously a5reed decorations were exceptionally good.

The boys were all dressed in overalls, plaid shirts, and straw hats. I was dressed in a sailor's suit. We had our faces blacked up and we represented a negro family. We stammered through our questions and consequences. Finally the turnoil of the evening was over and records were played while the audience danced. The Sopnomores served punch and cup-cakes.
