This is a question that has been asked and talked over by parents, school principals and all people of authority and understanding in the United States during the past four or five years. At last the people of the United States have come to realize that military training is not only a good thing, but an absolute necessity. Our country has been very slow to see this, or, if it ever was seen, and admitted to be necessary by a few far-sighted people, the horrible need was never brought home to all classes at large until this country entered into the great war against Prussianism, Militarism and Autocracy. Even for a long time after Europe was engaged in the greatest war the world has ever known, the people here have been kept optimistic and indifferent by false reports. These reports have been largely circulated by German influence and pro- German editors, who have poisoned the minds of Americans against the Govern- ment, so as to accomplish their own ends, and prevented them from realizing what the true state of conditions were. Not until our own men were drafted into the army, and the realization that this draft would take millions of the best in our country, not until the Government asked for money, and the realization that this money would amount to billions and billions of dollars, did this country fully awaken to the grim proposition that lay before it. General Pershing's words, This war cannot be Won by giving money to reliefs, but only by striking hard and fast blows, shows us that Germany is not to be beaten without a tremendous effort on the part of every man, woman and child in the United States. The War Department at Washington is preparing for a five years' war. With the armies of the Central Powers advancing over the Venetian plains, gradually closing in on Russia, and offering a stubborn resistance on the western front, there is no telling what may happen in a period of five years. One thing we can be sure of, and that is, we will have to work hard in order to win. , It will be hopelessly impossible for General Pershing to constantly hammer the lines of the Central Powers if he is to be hampered by a lack of men. He must have at his command an endless supply of trained soldiers, ready at a moment's notice to take the places of those who are killed in battle. It is not at all improbable that, before the war is won, the boys who are now in the upper classes at Potter's will be called- upon to serve the flag, and there is nothing like getting ready in time. In all the schools of any standing throughout the country the students are undergoing a certain amount of military training that will prepare them to be of Five - x THE POTTER SHIELD immediate use to the nation the moment they are called upon. .There Wlll be 110 need to waste time in showing them the fundamentalsof the training, but, on the other hand, they will be able to show others. They will enter the service as non- commissioned officers, and will have a big advantage over the raw recruit. There is no getting around the fact that some of us may have to g0, SO Why 110t PTCUMQ now? It will not only help our country, but will make lt a great deal more pleasant for ourselves when the time comes. A The fellows here are doing their share. Mr. Potter has been able. to get us Sergeant Miller from the United States Army, .and with the cooperation .of the student body back of him he has already organized a company that prOm1SGS to do the school justice. This is a time when military training IS more important .than athletics, and everyone should realize its necessity. We can't have proper tra1n1ng if everyone tries to get out of it, so it's up to us to help Uncle Sam win by doing our bit. GN Thursday, November the fifteenth, a movement to form a Boy Scout Troop here at school was started. A meeting was held of all boys of this school who were interested in the idea. About thirty-five fellows attended, some of whom were already scouts. Mr. Goodwin, scoutmaster of the crack troop of San Francisco, who is going to lead our troop also, was present, and he immediately proceeded to organize the rookies into different platoons. The boys were then given a short drill in close formation marching, and the troop was started on its way to become the pride troop of the city. The SHIELD is a strong advocate of the Boy Scout movement. It is a good thing. It gives the boys a new interest. It keeps them off the streets. It furnishes something to do for those boys who do not partake in athletics here at school. It teaches boys much practical knowledge and gives them a chance to put what they learn into practice. Above all, it instils in the boys some good, sound princi- ' ples, which, if followed out, will make successful men out of these boys. The SHIELD hopes and believes that the troop that is being organized will do the school justice, and eagerly awaits the time when the Potter School Troop will be recognized as the best scout troop in San Francisco. EVERYBODY in this country today is helping to win the war by saving the food. This economy is being practised in every home, hotel and restaurant through- out the country. We practise it here in school. WVe have our meatless day, our sugarless day, and our wheatless day. We are doing our small bit to help America in this war. A But we can do more than this for our country. We can make ourselves into useful men. America today is calling millions of her sons to serve under her standards. As some of this number will undoubtedly be killed we should fit our selves to take the places of these men. To do this, we must save more than food, we must save time. Look at it in this way. There are approximately one hundred and twenty-five boys in the. upper school. Let us be conservative and say that each boy wastes onl ten min t f h l ' ' ' y u es to sc oo time each day. This means that in the upper school alone there are being wasted daily over twenty hours that might otherwise be util- ized in fitting ourselves to serve our country. How many times is the expression heard in school' 'KI havenlt 0'ot time. Why hasni t a boy time? It is because he is not systematic. He does nat plan his wor . ' in a vance nd, finally, whenever he does study, he does not apply himself exclusively to the matter in hand. When he is supposed to be studying, he thinks about the wonderful brand of football that he is going to put up that afternoon. When the time for football comes he has to stay in school a d l ' , . 7 elf- tl . 7 'lx that he did not do in the morning. H mil Q up le ll O1 H 'Sins kind of work' does not pay.

And a man who cannot do one thing at a time and do that well is more of a hindrance than a help to his country. So let us see if we cannot cut down the amount of time wasted. This is a patriotic duty, and it is up to each one of us to do our best for our country. THE SHIELD is strictly a school paper. It is supposed to be written, illustrated, and supported by the student body of the Potter School, not by the SHIELD staff. The student body elects an editor, but that is not all it must do. It must write a paper. It cannot sit idly by and expect the editor and his staff to write stories, draw headings, look up school notes, and get advertisements. Everyone in the school must do his share in order to publish a School paper. It is not only impos- sible for the staff to do all the work alone, but a paper written by a few fellows does not represent the school. Everybody must help. . This issue of the SHIELD has not been supported by the School as well as it might have been, but we hope that the next one will be. You are all able to write, draw, and get advertisements. It is no disgrace if your work is not accepted. Perhaps there was someone who did a little better, and yours will find a place next time. L You are only asked to do your best, more than that no one expects of you, and the SHIELD appreciates everyone's effort. We are going to get busy on the next issue as soon as this one is sold, and we look forward to help from each and everyone of you. You will all be given lots of time, so start right away, and do all that you can for any department of the paper you think you can help most. Remember that the SHIELD is a school paper, and it's up to the School to write it. To those whose work is not accepted for the SHIELD: The editors regret That they cannot make use of Your worthy' contribution, Which is- herewith returned With thanks. Rejection does not Necessarily imply lack of Merit, The editors are always glad To read Contributions. We thank you.

Seven THE POTTER SHIELD The Western Champion C CWELL, I know it. We can't get that fold out, no matter how we fix it.' It won t make any difference. They won't trip over it, and Dread- naught will knock him out anyhow. . 0 , r Oh! Let it go! If anyone trips it will be 'Knock-out' Brown. He s no good. This conversation took place on the forward deck of the U. S. S. Mznnesota. The objects of the conversation were Dreadnaught Hooker, champion heavy- weight of the Minnesota, and Knock-out Brown, ex-prize-lighter and champion heavyweight of the 146th Battalion of the U. S. Infantry. .The men who had spoken were laying a piece of canvas on the deck and stretching ropes around it, forming a prize-ring in preparation for the fight that was to take place the next evening. This fight was to decide a long contested championship of the Western division of our Army and the Western fleet of our Navy. The ring for the fight had been laid directly on the deck. Near the middle of the canvas was a bolt that was not flush with the planking. This caused the canvas to rise a little, making the fold mentioned above. Knock-out Brown was a fighter with a record. He had won seven straight fights, the last six of which had been knock-outs. The Dreadnaught was just a mountain of human flesh. He had won most of his fights by sheer weight and strength, and not by any skill in boxing. The long-awaited evening arrived at last. The fighters entered the ring and were introduced to the spectators. Dreadnaught looked his name. He was six feet four inches in his stocking feet and he weighed two hundred and twelve pounds. Knock-out Brown also looked the part. He was all muscle, quick as a cat, and he had the chest of a giant. I-Ie was just five feet eleven inches in stocking feet and his weight was one hundred and ninety-eight pounds. The fighters approached each other. There were a few little taps to test one another and then the fight began in earnest. It was evident that Knock-out deserved his name. Most of his punches went to his opponent's face, while Dreadnaught's were all long swings and slow hooks. If that right of Dreadnaught's ever landed, however, all would be over. In the second round Knock-out worked around and planted a smash in the enemy's stomach, followed by a hook to the jaw. The sailor staggered, recovered, and feebly evaded the onrush of the other. A few seconds later the gong rang. The third round was all clinches, breaks, and clinches again. Dreadnaught had not quite recovered from that jab inthe stomach and he was stalling for time. In the fourth round both men came back hard. There was much quick, fast Work that set the spectators to cheering wildly. Suddenly Dreadnaught swung. He caught the soldier on the side of the jaw and laid him flat. The referee's hand went up and down as he counted out the seconds. One! two! three! four! five! Knock-out stirred and tried to rise. Six! seven! eight! nine! He was on his feet. Dreadnaught seemed to be paying more atten- tion to the audience than he was to the soldier. Knock-out-'s arm came back, the arm that had spelled disaster to so many. He had one punch left and he was going to use it! THEN! The arm came forward like lightning! The sailor, as he jumped back to avoid the blow, caught his foot on that fatal fold in the canvas. He fell backwards, the blow just touching his nose, and his head thumped against the deck! Then all was darkness. Dimly he heard a voice saying: One! two! three! four! five! six! seven! eight! nine! Out! The referee approached Knock-out. He raised the gloved hand high above his head and cried: Knock-out Brown, champion of the Western division of our Army and Navy!!' Even the referee didn't know that the bolt had been a silent partner in the Armyis victory. J R. G., '22.

His best friend was the leathern canteen which hung over his saddle. Eight miles had he come in from Flume Gulch to see a doctor. Cn a previous visit to Dr. Simms he had been given a dozen quinine powders to be taken after meals. Instead he had taken them all at once, with rather a disastrous effect. Well, said the doctor, as Madero stood before his desk, 'fwhat's the matter this trip? Been drinking too much commissary whiskey or been sleeping in the tule marshes? Come, let's have it out. Madero had been prospecting with three other Spaniards, and he told the doc- tor what poor retorts he had received, and how sick he felt all over, including his feet, which had been scoured with Golash Balius, that irritating disease of the sagebrush. Well, young fellow, smiled the doctor, that means a strong dose of medicine for you, and with that he administered to the Spaniard some ill-tasting tablets. Don took them with much gratification, and started for the door. But he hesi- tated and said bashfully, I have no mon, Senior Medicof' Never mind. It's only a dollar for the medicine. Madero showed signs of guilt for having swallowed so much cash. Then he dug into the pocket of his chaps. I non got de mon, but I got here what may be good for you. ,Eet is yours. He handed over the precious tin can he had brought with him. Simms took it and looked at the red, dusty, powdery mass. Why, this is mercuric oxide! Yes, Madero drawled out, having no idea what such a matter was. The doctor's face grew earnest as he inquired, Where did you get this? Was there an abundant supply of this rock? Could you find the place again? Madero answered these questions in succession, stating positively that he could certainly find the spot again, for his mule Volto was staked there. The doctor rose and shut his door. Listen, Don Madero, that bit of medicine I gave you was worth a dollar because it contained that red dust in the form of quicksilver or mercury. It is one of the most valuable metals, especially in gold- mining country. My good fellow, if you really know where to find more of it, your fortune is made. But my partners Jose Raphael, Boldero Esperanzo and San Gubo! They may stake out claim before I get back! No fear of that, Don, said the doctor understandingly, they are probably in town here right now spending their last cent at the Silver Palacef' 'tYes, I think mebbe you right, for they say perhaps they come in tonightf, Just where are your diggings? inquired Simms. Ah, me buen hombre, you take north road from town for eight miles along Bear trail in Flume Gulch. When you come under Desperation Peak, you climb up on your right on the rocky ledge, and then you soon find my mud hut, huh, Then quick, hurry out and mount your horse. Be back before your friends come. In the meantime I'll get some friends to back you and help you make your claim. Remember that the minutes are precious. I'll be along soon. u Madero hurried out, muttering inexpressible thanks, and mounted his fast into. A p It was a fact that Madero's companions were in town, yet they were not shaking dice at any saloon as Dr. Simms surmised. They were consulting w1th.Jim Blast, foreman of the Last Chance Mining Company, who believed in possibilities, and who had the reputation of 'fmaking thingsgo through. A few minutes later Simms reached Charlie Gordon's oflice, dressed for an all- night ride. Gordon was manager for the Lucky Shaft Mining Company, which had its main office in Denver, Colorado, and whose stock played an important part in the financial world. Just at present the stock was low, due to the success Nine THE POTTER SHIELD of the newly organized Last Chance Mining Company. Tom Simms related his story to Gordon. A lawyer and assayer of the company Were procured and soon horses were saddled and the quartet were on their way. o After they had been riding for about half an hour, they were rounding a bend in the trail which faced an apparent meadow. Ahead of them they saw several bright lights hovering to and fro. ' , I Say, there, exclaimed Dr. Simms very excitedly, that cant be Maderoys friends. There were only three of them, and I can make out ten distinct lights. After some reasoning Gordon and Simms came to the conclusion that more than likely Madero's friends were also hurrying to lay claim to the much coveted red rock. The night was dark and the trail was a winding one. Whichever party had the best horse-flesh would win. Madero's rivals were evidently mounted on burros, while the doctor and his associates had horses. In such a race through sagebrush, luck only could decide. As near as the doctor could judge, they had still some three miles to travel. The horses were beginning to flounder and breathe hard, though they were doing their best. The strong little mules, a quarter of a mile ahead, were rapidly approaching Desperation Peak, a small mountain that reared its sharp summit high above the valley. If our horses only last, cried the doctor, we'll make it. Now boys, all together for a race up the hill. The animals responded to the spurs with renewed vigor and in a few moments were passing the claim jumpers. They were subject to curses such as only enraged Spaniards can utter. Some pistol shots were fired, but fortunately, due to the darkness of the night, these missed their mark. As they rounded a sudden turn in the rocky ledge they heard a loud cry. They pulled their horses in and found the speaker to be a man all crouched up, who proved to be Madero. He was losing blood rapidly from a stray bullet wound. Hello! In a few minutes I'll tend to you. Can't stop now. Immediately Simms and his followers hurried va few paces away to the red banks, which was the much prized destination, and quickly started in to place location notices wherever they would stick. Just as the assayer was tacking up the last sign, a bullet whizzed past his head and several mules came to a standstill in front of Simms' party. Nine savage looking.Spaniards swept off their horses and went for Don Madero, who was unconscious. Gordon recognizing Blast of the rival mining company said, I didn't know it was you that we passed in the Ridge Gulch. Neither did I, for if I had, I would have sure killed your blessed outfit. Hey, there, you greasers, leave that man alone and pull down those claim notices. f'My dear man, chirped in the lawyer, the law says, 'First come, first served'. Hang your old law 5 anything goes up here in the mountains, and with that he drew back and hit the lawyer. This enraged Gordon to such an extent that he immediately started a fight with Blast. Blow for blow was being exchanged while Simms was trying to pacify the situation by putting all the lights out. The Spaniards by this time had torn down all the claim marks, but didn't replace them, as in their hurry to start failed to take any with them. Just then the noise of rocks falling was heard, and much to everyonels surprise a band of white prospectors, who were in the same company as Gordon, jumped off their horses, and yelled, Hey, Gordon, can we help you? We saw your mare on the ridge there. Yes, cried Gordon, quiet these Spaniards and give Blast of the Last Chance a drink. I guess I put him out of the running. When this had been done, Gordon inquired: How did you come here? Well, this afternoon I laid claim to this Red Banks outfit and was just about to return, when I saw your mare and heard pistol shots. Hard luck, Blast, you're oo a e. , L. G., JR., '18. Ten 'S Fvlzlted and S0011 lmlllllfl a ' Iwi' SJW 'Ifl'lPro's hghts.

THE POTTER SHIELD Adventures With a Genie WE HAD crawled into our sleeping bags, and the smoke of the campiire was blowing up through the trees to the blue sky where there were millions of stars. I was just dropping off to sleep when the smoke seemed to take definite form, and there stood a Genie. He was huge and ugly and had four horns and two tusks. I felt scared and crawled further down into my bag. Then the terrible creature came nearer and nearer until he was directly over my head. He said in a low, deep voice, What is thy will, my Master? I am thy slave, for thou hast in thy possession the twig of the Geniif' I looked down and saw in my hand a twig which I had picked up before I got into my sleeping bag. Then I said to him, Bring me enough money to make me the richest man in all the worldf' He disappeared and I waited for the least fraction of a second. A He appeared again, carrying chests and chests of gold, which he set beside me. By this time I was up and I selecteda most gorgeous robe. I put this on and or- dered him to stop the war, then to prepare a castle in India and take me to it. Soon he returned and, picking me up, set me down in India where If found the most beautiful castle standing before me. I entered it and found it filled with servants who bowed before me. One led me to a very beautiful bed chamber and told me it was mine. Finally, however, I got tired of it and ordered a caravan to be made ready, so I could cross the desert and the mountains on the way to China. Then on the way my caravan was held up by robbers who took all my wealth and kept us as prisoners. I was cast into a dirty, dingy prison with no window and only an iron grating in the door to let the air in. I threw myself down in despair and as I did so I knocked the twig out of my hat, where I had tucked it, against the wall. Immediately the Genie appeared and asked me what I would have. O Genie, said I, take me back to my home in India. In a second I was there. One day as I was walking in the garden I slipped and fell. The twig fell from my hand and dropped off a cliff and was lost. I am back home now. I got here with the aid of the money the Genie had left me, though it took every cent. People tell me it was all a dream. I leave it to you. H W. S., '24.

Eleven THE POTTER SHIELD A Flight By Night I NEVER did find out exactly how I happened on that field, but as I remember, I was walking proudly forth with my friend Dodge Jefferson. He had been an aviator before the United States had declared war and had responded immediately to the President's call. He was now an accomplished blrdman and as I walked out with him I felt, indeed, that I deserved more than ordinary notice. . Jefferson led me across the field to one of the many favorite hangars. Salutmg the guard, he opened the door and we entered. Sunlight streamed through a sky- light overhead, illuminating the large bird-like plane before me. I stopped momen- tarily, attempting to realize that this object before me was the wonderful plane my friend had been telling me about. . U , Don't be afraid, he laughed, as he noticed my wall-eyed staring, lt won t bite ou. Hi am due for a flight at half-past, George, he added to the mechanic, who was bending over the motor. i Whom are you going to take up? I questioned. I anticipated his offer and resolved to accept. How about you? Great, I answered. I certainly would like to. Fifteen minutes later the plane was wheeled out, ready for flight. Here, you'll need this, said Jefferson, holding out a heavy aviation coat and a muffler. He also gave me a queer leather arrangement which he showed me how to ad'ust. ft is a mouth and nose guard, he explained. It prevents your breath being blown back into your mouth when traveling 'at high speed. You don't need to put it on yet. X' I climbed into the passenger seat with my companion in front of me. One of the attendants turned the propeller over. The motor started with a terrific noise and clatter which soon settled down to a loud heavy drone. Dodge gave the signal and we rolled swiftly across the field. Then we left the ground. I looked over the side and saw the earth rushing away from me. While there was a remarkable feeling of firmness and stability about the plane, there was just a trace of the sensation that I had left the lower part of my stomach behind. At a height of about two thousand feet objects were plainly distinguishable and I had a beautiful view of San Francisco and the country round about. As we rose, the objects below me seemed to go together as if some great, invisible hand was tightening a strap around the earth. At a height of about six thousand feet the city below me looked like a large garden marked off neatly into small plots, bordered by white bands. There were two or three larger, more irregular, green and brown plots which seemed to be the parks. All together it looked like a miniature city on the shore of a great lake. How do you like it? yelled Jefferson above the roar and rush of the wind and motor. Fine, I answered. I now began to pay more attention to my companion. He held in his hand a movable steering column. Moving this forward would cause the plane to descend, back, to ascend. The machine was steered to the right or left by the steering wheel on the column. The fuel was controlled by a pedal under the right foot, the spark from the wheel. Dodge motioned for me to adjust my mouth guard. I did so, and waited ex- pectantly. The roar of the motor increased and for the next few minutes a powerful something seemed to push me backwards. After a while we slowed down. How fast? I questioned. He shrugged his shoulders. Over a hundred, he guessed. Dodge circled, and flew back towards camp. When he had almost reached it he shut off his motor and volplaned down in a spiral.

The earth seemed to expand and then rush up to meet us. There was a jounce, a series of sharp jolts and before I realized it we had come to a stop. I stretched myself languidly, brushed a fly from my nose, and sat up. At the same time a book that I had been reading fell to the floor. It was a book on aero- nautics, by a celebrated English aviator. My flight had been nothing but a dream. . c. H., '20. Two Clever Crooks A STRANGER entered the jewelry store of Gale and Company, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, one day, and walking over to the diamond counter stood there for some time admiring the jewels. Finally a clerk approached him and politely inquired if he would like to be shown anything special. The stranger replied, I have nothing definite in mind, but I am very much interested in precious stones of all kinds. Then he added, I increase my collection whenever I see a gem that appeals to.me. The clerk, knowing that his employer had a collection of valuable diamonds and judging his prospective customer to be a man of wealth by his faultless attire, offered to have the gems shown him. .Disappearing into the private office, the clerk presently returned and invited the prospective pur- chaser into the adjoining room to- see the wonderful collection. ' In the meantime anothermanucame into the store, and briskly walking to the counter he addressed the clerk in a brief undertone. Ina few short sentences he volunteered the information that he was a detective, and had come to warn Gale and Company of a clever, crook who had beenin the city a short time. The detective described thevcrook, and the amazed clerk in an awed whisper revealed the fact that in the private office that very moment with the precious gems within easy reach was the identical duplicate of the detective's description! At the request of the detective the clerk ushered him into the office where the crook was examining the diamonds. .Under cover of the confusion caused by the hurried entrance of the clerk and the detective, the crook slipped a paper of gems into his pocket. The detective displayed his badge, pointed to the crook, and at the same time informed the jeweler he was entertaining a notorious thief, and advised him to count his papers of gems. There is one paper missing, replied the excited jeweler. 'There were thirteen papers in the iron box and there are only twelve here now. The 'detective stepped over to the crook, searched his pockets and found the missing paper of diamonds. Telephone for the police patrol, was his laconic order to the clerk. But the handcuffed crook pleaded that he be taken to the police station in a taxi, so the detective indifferently agreed. When the taxi arrived and the detective was about to depart with his prisoner he informed the jeweler that it was necessary to take the paper of diamonds with him as evidence. The jeweler accordingly handed over the required package. The detective and his prisoner drove off in the taxi, and the jeweler returned to his office congratulating himself upon the narrow escape of his loss. However, the jeweler is still waiting for the return of his diamonds and pon- dering over the clever teamwork of the two crooks. , R. H., '20. I lmteen THE POTTER SHIELD A Potter Porridge - IT WAS a Black Knight iniSan Francisco. An Abbott was slowly walking down Jackson Street. Hale was falling, and the poor man seemed in great Payne. A Talbot rather husky Young man, wearing a heavy Browne McIntosh and with a large Dimond pin in his cravat, drove up in a one-Horsford with a Damon the seat beside him, and asked the Abbott what caused him such Payne. The Abbott looked at him a minute, and then said, Several Summers ago I was a Dean in one of the best universities in this country, but I did not like my work. I wanted to join the church. After much studying I became a Bishop, and my boy grew into a strong Young man, of whom I was very proud. After a while my son fell in love with the daughter of a lazy Miller, who never worked, but spent most of his time trapping Beaver. I did not want him to marry the girl, but when I said so he became very Moody and told me that I had' a heart of Stone. So I let him have his way, and he married her and built her a Newbauer at the foot of a Bigelow hill. For some time they lived happily. She used to Cook the food, and I gave them part of Mailliard, as theirs was very small. Then one day they came to San Francisco and I read that he had watched her drown at Sutro baths and had made no attempt to Fisher out. After this he stole a lot of money from a bank on McAllister street, and has not been seen since. This gave me so much Payne that I went away and became an Abbott. Since then I Doolittle but wander about Fuller sorrow. f'What's your name? asked the Young man. Rear, the Abbott replied. Orear! exclaimed the youth, my father. Bachman! exclaimed the aged one, or I'll Pierce you with this knife. Put up that weapon, cried the youth, now very angry, or I'll Hammer your brains out. It looked as if a fight was on, but at this moment there was a sound of Drum and Fyfe and a body of soldiers appeared, crying out that they would Lynch the combatants. Folger arms, shouted the Captain, or you'll both be buried in the Potter's field by tomorrow Knight. The man in the McIntosh attempted to escape, but as the one-Horsford would not start he tried to Wheeler away, but an Eddy of wind blew off his hat, and when he stopped to get it he was caught. Try to beat it, eh?,' bellowed one of the soldiers in great anger, as his fingers closed upon the Adams apple of the would-be runaway.

And every day, if you will note, Fair children come to play. They bat a tennis ball around, Or kick a football on the ground And then they go away.

Ffif teen THE POTTER SHIELD lm Deutschland 5 CHAIL, Majestat, Emperor Extraordinary and Calcium Chloride! The German Chancellor trembled with fear as he gently bounced his forehead on the floor before his Kaiser. With a gesture of regal condescension the Emperor bade him rise. ' . Speakl he thundered in a truly Kultured voice. . All highest Roast of Pork! began the Chancellor, gazing with awe upon the sublime features of the Monarch. I have to report that the first American troops in the trenches arriven have, and our first line are harassing. . With a roar of rage the Kaiser jumped to his feet, tripped in the folds of his royal robes, and sat down gracefully on the spike of his helmet. For some unknown reason he rose immediately, if not sooner, and was again thrown on his seat-or rather seated on his throne. In a voice slightly more Kultured than before he shouted such choice epithets as ''Derhelmetdergottverdamntestaselsorrenl which, in our barbarous tongue, means Chl Mercy! or something like that. Besides, continued the Chancellor, disregarding this slight interruption as if it were an everyday occurrence, besides, four of our airplanes have been brought down by these Yankee Vandals, and also- - S Stopl intervened his Majesty, wiping the blood from his helmet with his coat- sleeve. It is a military necessity that our people nothing of this hear. Inform them that we have instead the latest American forces outwiped, and four of their airplanes destroyed. In fact, tell them the same things that you always them have told. Like the famous Mr. Greenbaum, they will anything believe. The Chancellor scratched a flea in thought. Very good, oh Sublime Sapoliog as you it have decreed, so shall it be done! So saying he backed out the door, slid down the stairs in reverse order, and scattered in all directions. Slowly the Kaiser got to his feet, removed the remnants of his breakfast from his magnificent mustache, and spoke silently as follows: a The Hymn of Haten is a wonderful thing, For all the blessings it doth bring. Without it I would have to die, For even 'fGott has passed me by! You see, we had a little fight, But he vas wrong, and I vas right, Me und Gott could not get along, For I vas right, und he vas wrong! B.

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING DAY CWritten by an I ndfzlan boyl One day while I and my friends were on the beach playing. A big bird came along and people with pale-faces got out in funny canoes and went ashore. We went to Massasoir and told him about it. One day we watched the pale-faces build boxes that they got into. Squanto went and helped them plant corn. . In a year the pale-faces asked us to a feast. When we got there they said they came because their chief wouldn't let them worship their God. They also said they couldn't get enough to eat and some of them went to the Happy Hunting Grounds. They wore bright colored clothing and on their heads they Wore things called whats. The pale-face papooses wouldnit let us go near them because if we did they would cry. The pale-face squaws cooked fine things. Deer Foot won the first race. We had a fine time. At the end of the feast Massasoir was given a fire-spitting stick. In return he gave the Pale-face some new war paint. A pale-face gave me a thing called bell. W. D.

Scouts of America and the work that they are doing for the good of the country. He enumerated a number of acci- dents that have occurred in and around San Francisco in which the Scouts have been able to lend first aid. The Boy Scout is taught to do about every practical thing a boy can do-from the tying of knots to cooking eatables. Pk Pk Pk As a means of transportation, the big bus has been very valuable. And the way in which Hiram maneuvers the truck has brought forth many expressions of admiration. Indeed we believe that without much difficulty the worthy man would be able to obtain a position as driver of one of the British Htanksl' over in France. And he would probably consider it easier than driving a carload of fifty yelling kids up the Van Ness avenue hills. Pk Pk Pk The fellows of the first squad, who went over to Berkeley Saturday, November 10th, to play St. Joseph's, were lucky enough to see the best game of the season, between St. Mary's and California, and allfor nothing, too. ik Pk wk Mr. Potter has given the school a number of interesting and instructive talks on the war and our position in it. He has also endeavored to impress upon us the gravity of the food situation. These wheatless and meatless days have brought home to us, far more than anything else could, how much we will all have to sacri- fice before this war is over. And although at present the situation is not very serious out here, nevertheless we are all doing our bit by conforming with the regulations. ,k ,,. ,,. The reason why a number of fellows lately have been keeping an observant and watchful eye on Wheeler is that there are grave suspicions that he is either an I. W. W. or a German spy. ' At any rate, it is surely certain that Kirk knew what he was doing when, in Chemistry the other day, his experiment and all the imple- ments that went with it blew up with a big bang. We humbly beseech Mr. Brown to run out in the hall and ring the fire alarm the next time he notices Kirk con- cocting a phony experiment, so that the rest of the school may get out as soon as possible. ,.. 1. ...

Pk Pk Pk It was certainly a sad day for the whole school when our old friend and master, Mr. Humphries, commonly called Dido, on account of his Hpulcherima forma, left to join the rest of the Liberty Boys, in their journey up to American Lake. For the last three years, ever since 3? he began teaching here in 1914, Dido has been a true friend to us all, both on the field and in school, and it surely struck us very hard when Mr. Potter told us that Mr. Humphries had been called to do his Hbitf' for the U. S. Before he left Dean Folger, the school president, presented him with a few practical gifts from the school. On the morning of his departure, Dido made a short farewell speech, after which the whole school trooped down to the sidewalk and, as he started off in the Studebaker, gave him nine lusty cheers. Many of us have received letters from him, telling us of his new life and how much he enjoys it. We have been very happy to hear also that he has become a sergeant. This does not surprise us greatly, however, for there are very few things Dido can't do, once he has made up his mind. ,S ,, .6 By the appearance of the locker room on the morning after Hallowe'en, it was evident that either a cyclone or Tige Hayne had hit it. Public sentiment seems to favor the latter as the culprit. It is quite possible that Tige was on one of his numerous eat hunts, and everyone knows what a ferocious, and dangerous being he is once he espies his quarry. It seems that on this same night Professors Brown and Horsford were rudely disturbed by some of the members of the school.

It must be remembered that there are a number of families of Spanish origin in St. Helena and it is not at all unlikely that the gentleman in question has become enamoured of one of the black-eyed damsels.

ALTHOUGH the outlook at the beginning of the 1917 football season was decidedly gloomy the season itself was a great success, out of the ten games played only one was lost. This is one of the best football records the school has ever made. By winning the two games with the University School we gained possession of the new cup, offered by Mr. Nolan and Mr. Potter, for at least one year. Mr. Dyar left us last spring to enlist in the Army, but his place as assistant coach was admirably filled by Mr. Horsford. Mr. Traver had an exceedingly hard task before him this year as he had to make a winning team out of very light material. Practice began the week after school opened in September. One month was devoted to practice before any outside games were played. A large squad came out for practice daily, and although the men were light, Mr. Traver had enough material from which to pick a Winning team. Folger starred throughout the season. His running was excellent and his sure tackling saved our opponents from making many a touchdown. Mailliard played a good, steady game during the whole season. Tod never misses a tackle and he makes the best interference of anyone on the team. Greenbaum made many long gains by his great speed and when it comes to intercepting forward passes no one can beat Greeny. Wheeler was shifted from end to fullback this year. 'fKirk played remarkably well at this position and his punting was of the best. Hayne filled the place of center. If Booie had aimed his cannon ball passes at the enemy instead of our quarter he would have probably killed a few of them. These passes were not hurled out of any enmity of Booie's to our quarter back, but rather they were due to Booie's zeal in getting them off quickly. McAllister and Drum made the right side of the line very strong. Dohrmann, Bd., and Atkinson, although rather light, showed a great deal of fighting spirit and stopped many rushes through their side of the line. Moody was the surprise of the season. He was removed from his place at fullback on the scrubs, and played end as if he had been at that position all his life. His tackling was remarkably good. Abbott played a steady game all through Tweniy-fire THE POTTER SHIELD V . . - d a reat k lth h f the lightest men on the team, showe g dleglsgfsgelp aiitlafighfi.

The playing on both sides was poor. Potter lost many c ances 3 score through fumbles. The single touchdown was made by Folger in the secon half. Wheeler failed to kick goal. What advantage our opponents had over us in weight was made up for by their lack of -knowledge of American football. Folger and Mailliard starred for Potter. The l1ne-up was: .lVIoody, left end, Drum, left tackle, Summers, left guard, Hayne, center, McAllister, right guard, Atkinson, right tackle, Abbott, right end, Oapt. Folger, quarter, Greenbaum, left half, Wheeler, fullback, and Mailliard, right half. ST. MARY'S, 18. POTTER, 0 On October the eleventh we met the St. Mary's 145-pound team, on their field in Oakland. Our opponents outweighed us about ten pounds to the man. The line-up at the start of the game was: Moody, left end, Atkinson, left tackle, Dohrmann, Bd., left guard, Hayne, center, McAllister, right guard, F. Drum, right tackle, Abbott, right end, Sutton, left half, Wheeler, fullback, Mailliard, right half, and Capt. Folger, quarter. St. Mary's received Wheeler's kick-off on the twenty-yard' line and ran it back to the forty-ive yard line. A long end run brought them to within twenty yards of the goal. Five line bucks through center and tackle gave them their first touchdown after four minutes of play. Potter received and by two line bucks and an off tackle play brought the ball to the thirty yard line. Folger then punted on fourth down. In the second quarter St. Mary's, by two forward passes and an end run, made the second touchdown. Our fellows fought well and had the lead in the third quarter, but the superior strength of our opponents kept us from making a touchdown. In the last quarter St. Mary's made another touchdown. Atkinson, Folger and Mailliard played well for Potter. The whole team had a great deal of fight and deserves much credit for holding the St. Mary's fellows to the score of 18 to 0. In the second half Greenbaum took Sutton's plarfi and in the last few minutes of the game A. Drum was substituted for Mc lister. r POTTER, 14. sr. MARY'S, 7 On October the seventeenth our 125-pound team met St. Mary's third team on our field. This was the Hrst game of the second team and the playing was poor. Our interference was bad, and the backs were slow in getting started. In the first quarter Somers recovered a fumble on the twenty yard line, ran the length of the field and made a touchdown. The other touchdown was made by Folger in the second half. In the second quarter, St. Mary's, by a series of line bucks, suc- ceeded in making a touchdown. ' POTTER, 18. ST. JOSEPI-I'S, 7 Two days later, on October the nineteenth, the 125-pound team went to Berkeley and played St. Joseph's. The team played better in this game than in the previous one. By a series of end runs and forward passes Potter worked the ball up to the ten yard line. Folger then made a forward pass over the line to Blake. Blake caught the pass and dropped to the ground., This touchdown was made seven minutes after the start of the game.

SACRED HEART, 0 We played the fifth game of the season with the Sacred Heart College 140- pound team, on October the twenty-first. Our team was badly broken up by the loss of Sutton, Abbott and Greenbaum. Sutton was laid up with scarlet fever, Abbott had a bad wrist and Greenbaum an injured ankle.

Drum, right tackle, Blake, right end, Folger, quarter, Atkinson, left half, Wheeler, fullback, and Mailliard, right half. The team work was poor.

Folger, by two end runs and one line smash by Mailliard, made a touchdown after fifteen minutes of play. Wheeler kicked goal. Sacred Heart, by end runs and forward passes, brought the ball to our twenty-yard line, but could go no further. The playing went back and forth until the end of the game, but no more touchdowns were made. Summers was put in Blake's place in the beginning of the second half, and Stone took Summers' place at guard in the last quarter. POTTER, 21. OAKLAND ALL-STARS, 6 On October theitwenty-sixth the 125-pound team played the Oakland All-Stars at the Bay View Playgrounds, in Oakland.

They smashed our line and carried the ball to our ten-yard line by good forward passes, but they only suc- ceeded in making one touchdown. Folger, Abbott and Mailliard starred for Potter's.

UNIVERSITY VS. POTTER Our last game of the season was played with our rivals at Ewing Field, on November the twentieth.

Van Duin The Potfer Juniors 4 THE FOOTBALL team of Potter Juniors, although much lighter than in previous years, the team average being only 96 pounds, has had a good season, considering the size of the teams played. In every game this year, with the exception of one, the team has been out- weighed by from 10 to 20. pounds per man. In spite of this and the fact that two of our members, Knight and McNear, have graduated because of weight, we have succeeded inwinning the majority of our games. . The .team is a game bunch and can handle any aggregation in the country. that does not average over 100 pounds. SECOND TEAM, 26. JUNIORS, 6 In the first game of the season, which was really a practice game, our much heavier opponentsidefeated us by the above-named score. It was a case of too much beef, ' J . Dickey, however, managed to fool the big 2nd team and made a touchdown with his favorite end around end. MOSSWOOD, 0. JUNIORS, 30 I In a game played on California Field between the halves of the college game the Mosswood team was completely outclassed. In the second half all the sub- stitutes were put in the game, with the exception of Archie Ritchie, who went along as water boy. Touchdowns were made by Knight, J. Dickey C3D, and Fuller. WILLIAM WARREN, 12. JUNIORS, 13 The team went to Menlo Park early in the season and succeeded in defeating the William Warren School by a very close score. Our fellowswere outweighed by 15 pounds to the man, but they showed some real fighting spirit and came out of the game one point to the good. J. Dickey and Big Fuller both made touch- downs. Although every man on the team played a wonderful game, credit for the winning point must be given to Doolittle, who kicked goal after our second touch- down and saved the day. Tl1z'rty-one E THE POTTER SHIELD ST. JOSEPH'S, 10. JUNIORS, 26 ' St. J oseph's Academy went down to defeat on our field 1n a very hard fought game. Although the visitors clearly outclassed our team 1n part of the second half, we had too much reserve power and they were unable to threaten our goal line, thanks to our commanding lead. Jennings and Knight broke' even on scoring, each one going over the line twice. Our goal kicker, Doolittle, converted two times. LONGFELLOW, 14. JUNIORS, 13 ' It isalways hard luck to lose a game by one point, butthat is exactly what we did to the Longfellow Grammar School. All neutrals admitted that we had much the better team, and our only regret is that we were not able to get a return game. Mr. Christie, the University Track Coach, hurried up the 'game a little too much and prevented Gibbons from making it a tie-game. Our opponents had absolutely no team workand were able to win solely because they had three heavy players who were able to get away with forward passes. Knight suffered at the hands of a certain individual in that game. Ask him about it. ' ST. JOSEPH'S, 27. JUNIORS, 0 , Sadly we relate what happened ,to our team when it went to Peralta Park and played a return game with St. J oseph's. Our team was off ,form that day and did not show the usual amount of fight. However, our chances for victory would have been much better had we not been deprived of the services of D. Fuller and Jimmie Dickey, who were prevented from making the trip for reasons best known to them- se ves. w1LL1AM WARREN, 3. JUN1oRs, is In a return game played on our field we triumphed over our rivals by the score of 18-3. Some of the boys feared for our team's chances when they saw the size of the William Warren team, but we came out ahead. Every player on the team put up a splendid game, our little light weights Stevenson, Pierce, and Whitaker .playing an especially fine game. Hale, the elongated tackle, blocked a punt and raced 30 yards for a touchdown. The work of J. Dickey and Gibbons was good. The visitors did not have a chance.

So shall you remember me, Now that day is over, Fairly, by your courtesy, As thy fondest chewer. Since I turned and said good-bye When you tasted newest, Since we parted, you and I, When my love was truest, Love can never turn to doubt And, from doubts to scorning- I but chewed your sweetness out Twixt a night and morning. 7 So shall you remember me, Eager in pursuing, Faithful as one ought to be, When the gum is chewing. Other chewers sit in glee When thy day is over. Not so shall you remember me, Me, thy ardent chewer. A INTERVIEWS WITH UNCELEBRATED PEOPLE. Rev. Mr. Moody, Professor Emeritus of the College of Notre Dome. Mr. Moody, when interviewed by our reporter, gave out the following: I owe all my great knowledge and success to my great amount of study and work, which I have done all my life. I advise all struggling lads to do likewise. The Honorable Alphabet Dohrmann, when interviewed, spoke as follows: I owe my social position to my great disciplinary actions. I have never so far allowed myself to talk without permission in.the class room or any other place. A person's bringing-up is judged by the attention heogives to others when they are talking. Boys, follow this advice and become prominent like myself. The next interview was with Doctor K. Wheeler, who said: I owe my success chiefly to the speed with which I go about everything. I know.that I will be up- held in this statement by the reputation I have at present. I think I can say with safety that there is only one person in our community who can come near this record, and thatis our townsman, Mr. Fyfef' . . g Mr. Horsford, our new Supervisor, said: I owe my electlon principally to the efforts of A. Knight, although that is not my career. owe my success in Spanish teaching to the experience and practice I have received from the Spanish cafe dowgadkmgayne, the famous athlete, and B: Callaghan, well-known football man, told us this: We must admit that we are indebted for our great athletic training to Mr. Greenbaum, well-known aviator.and clubman. I Rough-house games have had a lot to do with our wonderful physiques. We advise all young men to .follow our example. It is too bad, however, that all of you cannot have the services of U Mrxierhiiflythe pleasure a few days ago of entertaining for a few hours1the'Comg mander of the Irish Navy, Admiral Hodges. He was in town for a few iouis, Ju ' T12 fz'rty1y?ve THE POTTER SHIELD we were able to see him. He went so far as to' say: f'I am-indeed glad 100, See YOU all. Although I am in America, I have no hesitancy in saying that the I1'1Sh have the greatest navy in the world. When I took charge of it in 1930 we had only one rowboat. I owe my naval knowledge to my study of the Athenians and their mari- time power. ,l.l..l..i-l- This ad for Duofold Underwear might do very well as a description of various and sundry domes seen about school: Soft cotton inside: Comfort.
