F WE had our choice in the matter ' we would not write a history at Pf .22 all. But since it would be a crim- Ggg ? inal offense to allow such deeds as Q2435 we have done to go unrecorded, we take it on ourselves to begin at the beginning and follow again the clearly defined footprints which we have left behind us in the sands of time, fcotprints that perhaps another, gliding down life's slanting street. a forgetful, youthful brother, seeing. shall regain his feet. When we hrst came to high school, wee 39 toddlers, wheeled in our gorcarts by our respect- ive nurses. it was plainly evident that we were no ordinary aggregation of Freshmen. There was somethign about the calm, reflecting way in which we chewed our teething rings, some- thing about the fearless front with which we faced the coleoptera and diptera in zoology, that evoked the admiration and even the awe of the upper ciassmen. Nothing ever daunted us; we faced both pleasures and labors alike with the same inscrutable and unruffled brow. From this dazzling description you might infer that we were a collection of infant prodi- gies and angels, but the fact is, our Freshman year is buried so deep in the misty past and the recollection of that golden age comes to us through such a haze of years, that it seems all brilliant tight and radiant glory. But, even minus this extra illumination, we were no ordi- nary class. On hard thinking, we do remember that the electric light fixtures were installed this year. When we returned the following September and took up the heavier responsibilities and more dignified carriage of a Sophomore, we noted with displeasure the inferior quality of the Freshman class just arrived, and we com- mented on their possibilities. We looked at ourselves in the glass, liked the resulting scen- ery, and commented on that. We looked out on the world and politics, heard of Doctor Cook's discovery of the North Pole and Peary's ditto ditto. and we commented on that. Then school work engulfed our thoughts, and we had no time to comment. The upper grades seemed less far away, and we lost most of our fear and respect, even for the Seniors. We had more confidence in ourselves; we had gone over every brick in the yard: we knew the ropes: we knew the building: we knew the school and felt a part of it. But at times our unimportance was flaunted in our faces. our insignificance came home to us with force. The older fellows won honor and glory in athletics, they domi- nated the yard with their foot-ball. they held undisputed sway over that part of the front wall nearest the giris, and they ignored us. We, being no ordinary class, suffered in silence. but secretly ground our teeth and waited and longed for our turn to come. In the fall of 1910 we returned, and those who had not flunked found themselves enrolled as Juniors in rooms on the first floor. A study hall had been arranged for us with especially assigned seats for each bell. There was a music room with a new piano, and a carved sandstone stage coach panel had been set up. Also a one hundred and twenty yard track was fmished in the yard and new climb- ing poles in the gym. The Gleam started anew and was a great success. The foot-ball season reigned awhile; the team did well, and we were very much interested in life. We tried for the Gym Team and the Glee Club, and we received minor offices and honors that filled our souls with delight and importance, McMil- lan Street was wood-blocked and Gilbert Avenue at Peebles Corner was widened, and President Taft took a trip across the continent -but we paused not. We worked and slaved on with an eye to the A Grade and its positions of honor and trust. and we played and frolicked on with an eye to our youth and our opti- mistic spirits, which should never be lost. When the summer's sun was old and dim and the leaves were in dry heaps on the ground. the A Grade opened its arms and took us for its own. Somehow. now that we had arrived at this long-coveted and most highly respected position. there was no excitement about it. It seemed natural for us to become Seniors, and we mounted our thrones with the unas- suming dignity of our baby years. But we appreciated our standing and its importance in the world. We appreciated the new lunch room conditions that existed and the domestic science addition, and to show our appreciation we bought four liquid soap fixtures and set them up where they would do the most good. Then we noticed the seventh bell arrangement and, while we agreed that it was a good thing and would correct much ignorance, still we rejoiced that we were Seniors and beyond its Clutches except when we were subjected to it as a punishment. Then we elected ofhcers and held class meetings and a social event in the gym; lessons were hard and other outside things pressed on us and were more important. The civics class went to the courthouse, the jail and the post-ofhce, and the chemistry class Went to the soap factory, and still the world revolved and the sun shone. But when the days grew warmer and the tiny buds began to swell and the smelt of spring was in the air, it was hard to think only of lessons, and it was harder still to sit through a long day at school. So we began to think of the boat-ride and the A-B dance. Talk of dates and decorations and refreshments buzzed about and our spirits were happy and light. But when we thought ahead, of graduation, of the ending of our high-school days, our happiness was tinged with sadness, and our longing for vacation was somewhat quenched when we remembered that then our connection with Walnut Hills as students was forever severed. 4l A Spring La-La voceaquHEN your winter clothes are get- When your overcoat is turn, your derby Q h g ting rather shoddy, perished, 5:.

VANCE 4B The Future of China tWinning Orationi nation, the greatest empire of the Orient has roused from her leth- argy and now stands willing and ready to take her place in the forward movement of human progress. But she must have time to get into step: she must have time to realize herself and her pOSSibiiitiES. Three thousand years ago China was the dominating power of the Eastern Hemisphere. Under the leadership of Chu Huen Chang, she had driven out the Tartars and the Mongols. and, spurred on by her achievement, had ex- tended her Empire as far as Persia. This was the time of China's prosperity. Art. craft and literature flourished. She was looked upon by all the other peoples of the world as the strongest, furthest advanced and most cililized nation on the face of the globe. Then the wheels of progress were stopped when the Manchu gained the ascendancy, and under his paralyzing rule the fighting spirit and the desire for conquest were lost. During the following centuries China remained stationary, and lost place in the world's onward march. What were the conditions that made it possible for her to remain thus unchanged? In attempting to answer this question, let us consider first. her geographical situation. in the north are the plain of Mongolia and the 49 Gobi Desert, beyond which is the Siberian Forest; on the west, impassable mountains; on the south, swamps, jungles and the Indian Ocean; and t0 the east. the Pacific. These great barriers have practically cut China off from the rest of the world. and have kept her from noting the progress of other nations. Moreover, her vast extent of territory has made her economically self-sufficient. China is the one nation that has been able to sustain her millions of people wholly by agriculture and such crude manufacture as could be carried on by hand. She has a warm Climate and a rich soil. and these have made her one of the leading farming natiOns. For this reason she has not entered into commerce to any extent, and has remained isolated from other people. Because of this isolation and economic inder pendence. China has carried on very little war, Unlike other nations She has felt neither com- petition nor the need of a struggle for existence. Thus her own natural advantages have con- tributed to her lack of progress. Even her religion has been conducive to stagnation. in the earliest forms of religion known to China, fear, black and hideous, checked all progress. Fear of evil spirits, fear of offended gods or offended ancestors. Con- fucianism has held her in the thrall of ances- torworship. Mohammedanism has her in the relentless grasp of fatalism. Because of this constant backward look. because of this constant necessity for placating evil spirits of offended ancestors, progress has been an impossibility, and this great people has re- mained unchanged in custom, form of govern- ment, and methods of industry. since the time Of her highest civilization. So we see all these factors-geographical position, seIf-sufficiency and religion have combined to keep China in her long sleep. But centuries have passed. The world has moved on, while China has lain peacefully sleeping. Now at last has come the day of her awakening. At first dazed and heavy, she has roused and made her way back to the world Hf men and nations. only to find herself a stranger. an unkempt. uncultured and un- ciiunted factor in the onward march of history. She has had a long night's sleep. but she is fully awake now, aggressively awake, and ready tr; take her place. And she has much before her. With her reforms only started, she still has une uf the greatest problems to solve that any nation has ever faced. How is she meeting her new opportunities and respon- slbllltlE'SP The Chinese people have started with the Manchu government. the greatest stumbling blnck in the road tn improvement. and have m-erthmwn it, At the present time they are making an heroic attempt tn lay in its stead a firmer foundation for their government, Realizing the weakness of their financial conditiuiis. they are seeking to introduce reform 50 in that branch of government, and instead of the old method of tax-gathering which made dis- honesty and graft possible. they are introduc- ing a system of taxation. which will be fair both to the people and to the government. They have begun a financial reform. but to make it a success they must work it out further; they must have fixed salaries for their officers; 3 bookkeeping system for the government: and an advisory board to see that the public money is used to the best advantage. When they have worked out this problem successfully. the steps that follow will be easier to take. In this work of reform and reconstruction, the army. too. demands attention. By com- parison with nther nations. they have realized the weakness of the army. Looking toward Manchuria, they see Japan at the very llgate- way tn China, and realizing the need of check- ing her growing power. they have been roused to the necessity of a military reform. Although China is well protected by geographical posi- tinn from the other powers of the world. she must continue to build up her army. so as to be able to meet any emergency. The mere knowledge that this great empire has an effi- cient army will cause other nations to look upon her with more respect, and give her a fairer chance for development. Wise. thinking men have looked still further into the future of their country, and have seen that if she expects to form a strong nation, China must educate her childrenethose who will have control during her coming struggle. At the present time she is throwing nearly all Of her financial power, weak though it is. into building up a public school system. She realizes that it is from the development and success of this reform, that she has the most to hope Indeed, the greatest forward step that China has taken is the building up of a public school system. but in this. too, she has only begun. She must furnish schools to accommodate millions of children. And this will cost more money than any other nation has ever put into a public system; but once accomplished. it will be a long stride in her onward march. The Chinese children today are a sturdy energetic generation, anxious to learn, and if they are given a chance will become a rock foundation for the coming government. With all these reforms well started and progressing, why cannot the Chinese take their place as a great people? Many look on the Chinese as a degraded nation, unfit to rank with the great powers. Will such notice that, while the old form of government has decayed. the people. the core of the nation, have remained sound? The Chinese are a people of good character and high reasoning power. even-tempered and unsensa- tional. And, what is now very much to the point, they have a determination that accom- plishes whatever they begin. This power of accomplishment is probably best shown by the way they have set to work to stamp out the opium traffic, a curse that has held their people in its deadening grasp for generations. The thoughtful Chinese see that their country is doomed as long as the opium has a hold on her 5I people. For this reason they have passed a law decreasing poppy-growing and the impor- tation of opium at the rate of ten per cent a year, so that by 1917 the use of opium is to be entirely stopped. By such gradual but deter- mined elimination of this curse we hope to see one of China's blackest pages torn from her history. Moreover, the Chinese are a people that combine readily business concerns and socie- ties. and they are held up as an example of honesty in the business world. In this willing- ness and ability to cooperate and in this integ- rity we may find two of the most necessary Characteristics of democratic government, Hav- ing these traits, what can prevent their work- ing up to a place among the truly great nations of the world? And not only by reason of the character of her people, but by reason of her physical re- sources. China was intended to rank among the wealthiest of nations. Her coal and iron sup- plies are enormous and in quality are unsur- passed. Because of these basic supplies she is destined to become a leader in manufacture and commerce. Because of her railroad sys- tem, which is making it possible for modern machinery to be taken to all parts of the coun- try, together with the low prices of material and the abundance of cheap labor, she will be enabled to undersell all other nations. Her commercial progress has already been marve- lously rapid. Last year she agreed to furnish Puget Sound with from thirty-six to seventy million of tons of iron, annually, for the next fifteen years. Her trade with England in the past year amounted to more than a hundred and sixty millions of dollars. Here is a nation with natural wealth in abundance, railroads, cheap material, low wages, manufacture and com- merce well under way. With such material possibilities: with a just financial system and a strong army: with a well-organized system of schools: and all these backed by a firmiy established democratic government. what is to keep her from forging rapidly to the front? Indeed, as Dr. McKenzie says. HChina has already progressd more in the last three years than in the previous three thousand Consider, then, this capable and worthy people. already at the work of reform; a coun- try of all possibie wealth behind them. and before them a future of brilliant manufactur- ing and commercial promise. Cannot such a people become one of the world's strong powers? Undoubtedly they caniand will. It is for us to realize this rising power. The authority quoted says: 'The awakening of China is one of the greatest turning points in the world's history. an event which will effect not one nation only. but the whole world. Let us then be First to see her possibilities and extend to her the hand of fellowship. Let the Amer- can people help China to her rightful position, to the place which her size. her wealth. and the character of her people entitle her-a place among the leading nations of the world.

Foot-Ball Echoes time in the Thanksgiving game at Portsmouth. and our foot-ball - season was at an end, we packed 9 our tattered togs with a contented sigh. The sigh because we hated to think that we would not have our hands on a foot-ball again for a year, and even then some of us would not be at Walnut Hlls; and contented because we had had a successful season, scoring fifty points to our opponents' nothing. If you think fifty a small score, blame the weather. for it rained for days and days at a time right in the busiest and most important periods of the season. The Erlanger, O. M. l. and Cov- ington games were entirely prevented, and the Hughes contest was played on such a sea of mud and water and ice as to make scoring al- most impossible. And then our practice was badly interfered with, which, as foot-ball play- ers know, is not conducive of team work and good playing, The only thing we regret is the Woodward game. which was one grand squab- ble and fight from beginning to end. Our trip to Portsmouth, the good clean game, the Thanksgiving meals and the dance afterward, with that memorable night in the Manhattan Hotel, was surely a noble closing act for such a noble team. We wilt quote here a few comments from the Gleam on each individual player. AULT tweight 145i, the tow-head, end. 58 ttBennie came to us after two years of Frank- iin training and showed up to advantage in the games in which he took part. BABBIT weight 1450. King. left half. Rex is the fastest man on the team and is especially good at running through a broken field. His leg was badly injured in the U. C. game, but he came back with a vengeance in the Hughes game. Fox tweight 140i. quarter-back. He was one of the lightest men on the team and filled the bill with snap and vigor both in bucks and end runs. GAITHER tweight 16m, left half. His tine bucks were always a feature and he stood up strong on the defense. GAITHER tweight 145i, ttThomas, right end. Tommy was the most spectacular tackler on the team and his pulling down of a forward pass resulted in the first score of the Norwood game. HUMPHREYS tweight 16m, Nemo. fullback. Hump was the pivot man of the interference and was also good at smashing up plays. LANGENHEIM tweight 15m, Chick, left end. ttLangy landed his man with a harder thump than any man on the team and was usually to be depended upon to make his tackle. MAGLY tweight 165i, ttNig, center. Every- body knew ttNig, for his fine secondary de- fense work was a strong brace for the line. MORRIS tweight 16m, ttJug, right half. Jug was the old reliable ground gainer. His long bucks and powerful running made him a mainstay in the back field. PALMER tweight 160T. Tuncf quarter-back. Roy, the captain of this noble crew, is known far and wide as one of the most experienced, fast-running. iong-punting quarters in the busi- ness. PLUEDDEMANN tweight 140T, Reverend. center. uPlueddy was the most minute par- ticle 0n the line, but his gameness and good tackling made up for his lightness. POOLE Cweight 150i, Bum, right guard. TGustavei' always held his man on the Offensive and on the defensive broke up many a well- planned trick. PORTER tweight 178T, uEgg, right tackle. Egg's'i forward passing was his chief charac- teristic. He was the strongest man on the team and made good use of his strength. REECE tweight 145T ttJohnny, left tackle. Johnny was rather light for his position, but was able to box his man, and always opened fine holes for the backs. SHEEHAN tweight 220i, iiBarrel, left guard Barrel was certainly a pillar of strength on the line, and many a buck stopped short as it met this massive bulk. The Post and Commert'cal Tribune, as usual. picked an All High Team from the seven high schools, Walnut Hills, Hughes. Woodward, Covington, Madisonville. O. M. l. and Nor- wood. The Post's selection from our fellows was as follows: First Team: A1 Gaither, half-back; Magly, center; Palmer. quarter; Reece, left tackle; Sheehan, left guard. Second Team: Porter. right tackle: Poole, right guard. The Commercial's aggregation reads like this: First Team: Tom Gaither, right end: Magly. center; Poole, right guard; Sheehan. left guard. Second Team: Langenheim, left end: Palmer, quarter; Reece, left tackle. 59 Captain Manager Plueddemann. A. Gaither. T. Gaither. Foote. Mitchell. Dreeke. C. Statler. Statler. McComas. Adamson.

The Boys, Gym Team, 1911-12 HE year 1895 was a very notable one for two reasons: first. for the establishment of the Walnut Hills High School. and second. for the organization of the Gym Team thereof. This noble company of gym- nasts has gone on improving year after yeai. until the climax of achievement has been reached during 1911712. If the gentle reader will consult the picture of this illustrious team on the opposite page, he will see in the place of honor 0n the right the symmetrical form Of Captain Poole. and on the left the face of Maine ager Palmer, beaming with a smile of almost human intelligence. Now, taking the picture as a whole, could there be found anywhere at 64 more perfect combination of physical vigor and profound intellectuality? Surely not. and yet, alas. two of our handsomest and bravest youths were absent when the camera got in its little work, and, fair as is the picture, there is something lacking. Ours is the only high school in the city that can boast of a gym team; nor is its fame lim- ited to Cincinnati, for many of our team boys going to Eastern colleges have won renown for our school through their prowess in gymnastic work. In the Gym Team, as in all other de- partments of our school, we hold to our motto, uSursum ad Summum. HAROLD PORTER, '12. The Girls Gym Team, 1912 m y it EMW YM Team girls to the front. This $ is what we hear every bell of gym after the roll is called 'Tis Dr. 9 Knoch's commanding voice which breaks throt the buzz of conversae tion, and like true soldiers we march left, right. left, right, out from the common rabble to our all-important place in front. My! how grand and big we feel, just like the whole show, when we are thus cordially invited. But then, this is not telling about the Gym Team itself. The first meeting, called the second week of November, was surely a success. Over thirty ttshowed up, some in their gym togs, and they certainly looked ready for work. We then decided that Wednesdays and Mondays. sev- enth bell, were the best days to meet. The second meeting was a purely business 65 affair. We then declared Louise Lueders was the only one capable of being captain, and she was unanimously elected to full that place Next, they realized that the manager's place must be filled, and Persis Brock was voted the most competent for that high and mighty position. The Gym Team has surely progressed, be cause there are now over forty girls enrolied. We have learned. through patient teaching, the proper way to walk, dance, and in fact do anything. We hope that by diligent work. by the sweat of our brows, we may in the future learn to be as graceful as a sytph. But that is not all. We can chin ourselves, swing on the rings, and giant stride. andeif you promise not to tell, cross your heart and hope to die, I'll tell you a secretewe can do what is called Hrundlaufen. PERSIS BROCK, t13. Base Ball Talk HE prospects of the base ball team fag, are very bright this year, for the we J squad out at practice is large and t for the most part competent. As M in all other contests. the larger the number of candidates to select from, the better will be the resulting team. Therefore we have high hopes. There are but few of last year's men still with us, but we have numemus new fellows that will satisfactorily fill their shoes. Captain Sheehan is well able to lead us forth to the championship.

Track Team e GREAT deal of interest was taken in the Track Team this year. and i quite a number responded to the summons and traveled again and again that long, weary journey to the Armory, where practice is held. This is the main difficulty, for it takes an entire afternoon to go there, run a while and return. Many of the fellows could not or would not sacrifice the time. The floor is large, and the track scientifically curved, but it is not banked, and a great deal of time must be spent in trying and pacing the curves, for an unpracticed man has to slow up TO considerably to be able to round them. There- fore the team getting the most practice on the Armory track has an advantage and is very likely to win any race run on that track. This is the main reason for Walnut Hills not getting first place in the Relay in the First Regiment Meet. The Woodwardites, whose school is near, can devote much of their spare time to trying out on the floor and getting onto the best methods of Covering the ground swiftly. A strong team will be sent to Oxford in the Miami Meet and t0 the Harvard Meet held here, and we expect to show up well at both places.

The class of 1912 takes special pride in review- ing the history of the Debating Club since the year 1908. That year, when our class was yet in its infancy, the Debating Club invited all the members of the school, especially the Freshies, to attend a presentation of a mock trial by the members of the club. It is needless to say, that we availed ourselves of this opportunity to witness the procedure of a grand larceny case, ably conducted by members of the club. The affair was a grand success. and we as a class, were for the first time ushered in as the equals of the Sophomores and Juniors socially, and thus made our debut before our superiors. In the latter part of the year 190940, the club succeeded in arranging debates between Walnut Hills High School and Louisville Manual Training High School, and here again the members responded as a body cheer- fully and willingly to the cordial invitation of the club. Among the members of the organi- ii EJ$3 74 zation were several able representatives of our class, and we therefore felt that we were contributors to and partakers in our school's pride. In the final clash between the con- testants our boys won the day for Walnut Hills. Pride of conquest and shouts of glory reechoed through the walls of the school, every face beamed with joy, every heart drank from a fountain of happiness. The year 191041 brought us again the van- quished yet courageous Kentuckians, who were to face our boys once more in a foresnic con- test. The Louisvillians, eager to blot out their last years defeat, sent the flower of their school to wrest the crown of victory from our brows. Our boys. however, flushed with last year's success, and with the banner of triumph un- furled before them, longed to repeat their former achievement, and to make uVictory for Walnut Hills High School its watchword. It was a fierce contest indeed, the question at issue was ably debated by both teams, but finally the weaker succumbed to the stronger, and the inevitable occurred. Our boys were again announced the champions of the day. We have come to the year 1911-12, and here. the author of these lines would be doubly pleased to tell of another glorious event to crown the climax of the class history, but cir- cumstances force him to digress and seek an- other channel to reach the end. No, no, fear not, fair classmate, we have not iost any de- bate, but we have not won any either. and that is equally disappointing to us. It must be admitted that as yet no debate has been secured with any representative school, and that all negotiations to that effect have proved futile. That too good a reputation i: sometimes our dangerous was well demonstrated in attempt to secure an interscholastic debate. Nearly all the schools approached. in replying to our challenges. frankly admitted our supe- riority and their inability to meet us on equal grounds. An admission fully justifled by the record the club has established in its fourteen years' existence, during which time it has lost but three out of twelve debatesea record which has never been attained 0r rivaled by any Other school in our city.

So when we took g$ up this work at the Walnut Hills High School, girls who did not dream that they could sing were urged to join the Glee Club. and after earnest instruction for two years found, much to their surprise, that their wee voices had developed to a volume and timber not to be scorned among prima donnas. One of the most interesting events that mark the school year of 1910-1911 was the Procter and Gamble minstrel show, in which the girls took a great deal of interest and an active part. The rollicking ragtime tunes will ever remain in our minds to recall the pleasure we derived from the minstrel show. After our first appearance in public we got 60 over stage-fright and gained enough courage to give the cantata. l'King Rene's Daughter. on May 12th, in the auditorium. We sang at the Walnut Hills vs. Louisville debate and various conventions held in the city during that year. The graduating exer- cises in June ended our work for the year 1910-11. Late in the fall of the next school year we sang for the Kindergarten Convention and also at the House of Refuge. We have been devoting our time this year to the songs which will be sung at our graduation. The Glee Club work has been very interest- ing these last two years, and we sincerely hope that the girls who come to Walnut Hills after us will enjoy their singing as much as the grad- uates of 1912. The Boys, Glee Club e9 N E bright wintry morningsummons came to some of us boys of the in A. B and C grades to meet in L the beloved composition room, Each individual approached the appointed place at the proper time, with his heart beating in his throat. But when we had all come together the vast number so raised our courage that the appearance of things did not greatly appall us. The following Thursday was appointed for the day of our first meeting, and each fellow was appointed as a committee of one to get others to join our number. This second meeting was somewhat larger than the first. and proved to be very interesting. For the purpose of organizing we had a short business meeting. Russel Dunham was elected president; Harry Richmond. secretary; and Walker F. Vance, treasurer. As there was no more business we adjourned, and there was then a trial of voices. That proved to be a most heartrending performance, both to the singer and to the listeners. Of course this is no discredit to the singers for, let us inform you readers, we have some fine voices among our bunch. After this first meeting the club made a prac- tice of meeting on Thursdays, if no unforeseen circumstance intervened, and has done very well, all things considered. The sweet music floating from such melodious voices as ours cannot help affecting the listener, and if fate so permits, we hope sometime to perform before a large audience and show what we are really worth.

It was about May, when we were deep in the study of Hamlet. The class of 1911 had not as yet given us all her privileges, so some of us thought we would like to put one over her. We wanted to give all our girls one privi- lege which she could not give us, because she herself had lacked interest enough to organize another dramatic club. We. however, are in no way connected with the company of players that existed here several years ago. Who knows but what we got our inspiration to become actresses from them? No one but those interested in the formation of a dramatic club knew anything about it until we held our first meeting. We must con- fess that we have not met with aIl-around approval when we begged off a seventh bell, now and then. 34 Immediately after having organized with a membership of some twenty girls. we undertook the acting of Maeterlinck's drama entitled. l'The Blue Bird. This proved to be a very pleasing portrayal of human nature and char- acter. But when we neared the final scenes of this drama, the girls grew much more inter- ested in the reproduction of a few comedies to be given in the Assembly Hall some time during the month of April. This was the aim of the cluFto reproduce plays. Whether we really have any talent here. you may judge for yourself if you buy a ticket for llThree Girls from School. We have already seen the remarkable ability of Edna. but alas, we cannot all be teachers before we get our diplomas. Now as the clay approaches for the reproduc- tion of our playiperhaps there will be two playsiwe can only study our best, so that no seventh bell is taken, then tuck all our plays and books under our pillows and dream of success.

Everybody else just naturally laid dOWn and died when Palmer stalked in. amid the plaudits 0f the multitude and walked out again with the great majority of the votes. Reece absconded with a very few, while Shee- han bagged the rest. Palmer 51. Reece 11. Sheehan 9. Somebody played a popular tune and Edna Martin danced away with most sylphelike dancert Helen Phillips and Reece tied on second, and Dorothy Jones led the remaining applicants for the honor. Edna 21, Miss Phil- lips and Reece 6 apiece, Dorothy 5. Although Miss Henle captured tlbiggest grind with ease, there was a mighty conflict as to the first and seccmd lieutenants. Frank- lin fmally gained a lead, followed closely by McCorkle, whose heels in turn had the black- ing scraped off by the advancing gallops of Miss Benson and Thul, a tie. Miss Heme 31. Franklin 8, McCorkle 0, Miss Benson and Thul 5 apiece. That broad smile of Sheehan's got him ttbest natured, Our Jawn has got room on his face for a longer spread of grin than anybody else, so it was easy tor him. It took the com- bined smiles of Florence M21eg and Frances Williams to equal the one of Sheehan's, From this its expanse can be imagined. Sheehan 13. Florence 7, Frances 6. The same noble trait before mentioned gave Sheehan ubiggest grubber. That large smile can surround enough pie at one time to make a meal for an ordinary family of six. Palmer, on the same basis, could supply at least four people. When it comes to Miss Cooper, I pause in ignorance. Sheehan 23, Palmer 11, Miss Cooper 7. It may take abundance 0t mouth to be really good-natured, but it requires brains, genuine brains, to be biggest giggler. McCorkle was present with the required gray matter and took flrst. Miss Prager's loud snickers ap- proached laughter, so she only got second. Miss Roth and Miss Williams each ha-ha'd the same number of times. McCorkle 11. Miss Pragel 9. Miss Roth and Miss Williams 8 apiece, There was such a dazzle of light from the brightest that at first we could not count the votes. When we did get used to the radiance 97 and could take off our smoked glasses, we found that the winners were arranged on the pinnacle of fame as follows: Miss Henle 39, Fox and Miss Benson 11, Thul 7. There was a regular lunch-counter mob of girls on hand tor Hprettiest. Miss Phillips, however, presented the most checks. Miss Klappert and Miss McGregor came next in rapid succession. It might be mentioned that two votes. tor Sheehan were found in this column. Miss Phillips 14, Miss Ktappert 8, Miss McGregor 7. We had intended to grab on to the ttlaziest man and make him hump himself counting votes, but when we found that we had ttJawn Sheehan to deal with, we desisted fur lack Of physical means of persuasion. Instead we took Palmer, Humphries and Thompson. the next in order. Sheehan 14, Palmer 13, Hum- phries and Thumpstm 6. As usual, in the course of human events. the fair sex received ngeatest talker, Florence Magly is the catalogue name of the phono- graph. Ruskin came next. but he doesntt talkehe articulates scientiflcaity. Thompson and McCorkle also articulate to some degree, but Thompson's is mostly noise. Florence 8, Ruskin 7, MCCOrkle and Thompson S. The main diff between talker and noisiest is the fact that the talker uses his tace alone, while the sound-producer works both counte- nance and feet. Ruskin is a striking example of this iltusion. Miss Magly could take in pupils on the subject, while Miss Martin and Miss Harvuot could supply the required noise tor a safe and sane Fourth. Ruskin 11, Miss Magly 9, Misses Martin and Harvuot 7 apiece. Some people make a blutf at knowing their lesson, when they don't, others bluff at not knowing what they ought to know, when they do know what they ought to know but don't want other people to know it. is or is not Thompson an illustration of the first or second method. He is. Also Miss Harvuot is second and ttGus Nonnez is third, while five other boys tie for fourth. Thompson 10, Miss Har- vuot 6, Nonnez 4. Whether a grumble is a sott shout or a loud groan, none but McCorkle. our biggest grumbler, seems to know. Dorothy Thomas has a pretty good idea, while Messrs. Ruskin, Sheehan and Thompson all have the same opinion. Quite a number at other grumbles were heard at the polls. McCorkle 13, Miss Thomas 5, Messrs. Ruskin. Sheehan and Thompson 4. Some fellow 'way back 8. C., was ambitious and Brutus slew him. Miss Henle was ambi- tious and won eternal fame tor it by being chosen most ambitious in our class, which is some class. Miss Benson is also noted for her aspirations tor the future. McCorkle, by his hot desire to become a regular Cap. Kidd Pirate, got third. Miss Henle 15, Miss Benson 9, McCorkle 7. ltDude il'Chauncey Kreimer. Nothing need be said on this subject. we merely mur- mur. lTwas not in vain that someone tied his tie and washed his beaming face. 'Twas not in vain some kind hand brushed his hair 98 'Twas not, for has he not won glory, honor. all? Biff Rapp came next, and By-Jove-Old-Chappy Ruskin third. Kreimer 35, Bifl 14. Old Chappy 10. There was a tremendous battle for hand- somest. Fellows grappled and rolled in the dust, lunging and kicking and biting until all were dead save Rapp and Ault, who stepped from behind posts unscathed. As Rappls face was not bloody. he won. Ault had had his hair extracted. so came second. Kreimer, Reece and Fox were found still breathing under heaps of slain, and as they were all that. were lett they came third. Rapp 23, Ault 19, Krei- rner, Reece and Fox 4 apiece. There was one name that was pre-eminently llit when it came to llfavorite. That was Helen Poe. our own Helen Jane. We don't want to get mushy or act melodramatic, but really. Helen. we love thee and think that thou art some class. Edna Martin came second and Ruth Klappert was a close third. Helen 28, Edna 8, Ruthie 7. Kreimer wasn't vainest until one day in September he found a mirror on Erie Avenue and, for the first time in his life, noticed what a magnificent reason he had for being vain. If Vara Wood and Bessie Clark come under this heading, we heartily agree with them: they ought to be. As for Ruskin, he alOne knows why he is wherefore. Kreimer 9, Rus- kin 5, Bessie Clark and Vara Wood 4. Our noble President was favored with umost dignified. He deserves it; he has to be to hold down his job. The President of the and shined his shoes. United States is dignified, the pres. of China is dig. and our pres. is dig. How could it be otherwise. Miss Phillips is dig. because she is such a nice girl, Vance is dig. because he is thinking about something. Biff 16, Helen 8, Vance 7. if Edna Martin captured biggest flirt, it is more because the boys just naturally flocked around Edna than because she tried to attract them. HEddie is some magnet. Ditto these reasons for Bessie Clark. But for Kreimer there is absolutely no excuse. His natural charms wouldn't bring him anything, so he resorted to strategy. Ai. how could you? Edna 9. Bessie 8. Kreimer 5. Why is Benny Ault itartistic? First, be- cause he is one of our handsomest, second, be- cause he likes good-Iooking girls. third, last clause vice-versa. Miss Phillips is artistic for exactly the same reasons. changing ttgirls to boys in the second equation. Miss Maieg and Miss Shigiey are artistic because it comes natural. The ticlass poet had intended to write this paragraph in verse, but was too busy inscrib- ing sonnets in other people's memory books: therefore we have fallen down to prose. Miss Benson won the laurel, while Fox and Reece chose myrtle, because it stands for sentimental love ditties. Miss Jobes looked charming in a wreath of pink ivy. Miss Benson 21, Fox and Reece 9. Miss Jobes 6. If ttjolliest means going around always with the biggest smile and the heartiest word for 99 everybody. Miss Magly wins, because thatts what she has been doing ever since she came here. Miss Martin is a few laughs behind be- cause she was absent several days, and Helen Jane comes next because she and Edna wanted to be near each other. Miss Magly 14, Miss Martin 8. Helen Jane 6. Miss Poe and Miss Martin tied on ttbest all around, because they're equally able to either run a four-forty. teach algebra, get ninety-five in English or sympathize with a fiunker, fly an aeroplane and fascinate some poor moth of a fellow Fox and Ault came behind. not because they can't do the same things as the girls, but because women are down-trodding and henpecking men more and more. Misses Poe and Martin 11, Fox 6, Auit 5. Some people didn't know what latest meant. To these we wish to say that it refers to the person who the most frequently stalked into your classroom during the first or second bell and presented the teacher with a square of white cardboard announcing his or her entrance. Humphries and Claire McDonald 18 apiece, Miss Moran 13. Miss Benson was easily at the apex of the right pyramid of solid geometry, that is, she took best mathematician. Miss Saurer and Langenheim came a close second, while the stellar light of Miss Gally, Miss Hyde and McCorkle shone next in brightness. This galaxy of 1912 is composed of stars of the first magnitude. MEXICO CITY. MEXICO. June 7. 1930. SENOR REECE, Direrlm General del membramer: . gENOR, we greet you ttbuenos V dias, from the bottom of Our ' most honorable feet. Since leav- ing your fair education institute, it regrets us deeply to have for- gotten our much estimed English, but we will humbly attempt our best. Since arriving here. we have created so much Warmthness that Seniir Madero has left to visit worthy relative in Peru. Kindly. Senor dear, send Sinor Humphreys to us. We are not able to have our grand Minister of Finance, and we need the Sinor in our biz. Kindly also. slip Senor Nonnez railroad fare. as we are in dire distress of a great naval commander. We have no navy, but, Senor. one beautiful ocean. Canape, Senor, but when olden times are recollected to our minds. then we rush toward the cafe Umme bakerw and down our sorrows deep in mm tice teat. Ah. well do we remember the old chm of Spanishers tSwedest: the beau- tiful sennritzw? tquestion mark is typograph- ical errort and brave senors. Often do we think of the Skygack sisters Jen and Lil. com- monly known 215 Lil and F10. Then there were H37. and Ann, the original Walnut Hills senoritas and senorita Christian. Will we ever loose in mind Sinor Hum- phreys. who converse in Espanol so fluently as in German. or Senor Henrico Nnnnezio Uiteral translation from the Greelo, who gave I00 the laughable imitations and naturally made himself useful. There were also Senors Bar- ney and Bunny, who were the real ttbusy bees we do not wish for to make this poetryy We still make to bear in mind, Senor, the daily programme, the grand assembling of forces in the main hall, the march to the fourth floor, the flag-raising exercises, music and more marching. reading of honorable roll call, salutations and the commencement of fish stories by Don Pedro Antonio Juan de Lob- stando. and the senors who when asked t'What have we on Friday, innocently answered. Fish. Then, Senor, how we feared the marks tnot worth 3UCL But no, Papinta. 'tis false we never received marks: we were perfect senoritas and senors. We never wish for to breathe out loud, save when with one accord we lifted up our voices in song and warbled that ever-popular tune entitled. If Isabella Hadn't Shook Him He Would Still Have Been Coming Around, the words of which are: Every time we turn around The teacher starts slinging demerits around: Makes no difference if we act like a hound, She ought to step slinging demerits around. Senor. we hear footsteps approaching on horseback. Colonel Juan del Shrimp-Saladio desires a conference: therefore we close. Salute all the senoritas for us and when we see your honorable self we will fall upon you 91nd weep. We are your obedient servants. sir. SiimRs LIB. IW. ADMIRAL DEWEY V . .e 5 . NH? U ,f :3. I ;.

I02 A Heated Debate EESOLVED, that the title of the song entitled, ttTwo Little Fleas Corner, Playing Dice, should be ' Changed to, HTwo Little Fleas 012 Two Little Mice, Sitting on a Corner, Playing Dice. It is very unlikely that two little fleas would Sit quietly around, probably starving, and play dice while two fat edible mice were within leape ing distance, and it is also very unlikely that two self-respecting mice would condescend to play dice with two common ordinary fleas. Thus, the mice would probably refuse to play with the fleas, the indignant hungry fleas would jump on the mice, and 50 the title would be. HTWO Little Fleas on Two Little Mice, Sitting on a Corner, Playing Dice. It is of course concluded that the two mice go on playing dice between themselves with the added annoyance of carrying the two fleas. The Sad Life History of a Man IN TlVO ACTS 1.

Class Will mmHE fate of the illustrious class of tag; 1912 is sealed. We who have 49 been looked up to as gods by the t under-classmen, we who have ac- w complished such feats of prowess 0n the foot-ball field and on the baseball fields, and we who have done such brilliant work in the class-room, we, I repeat, are doomed to die. Even the day on which we are to shake off these mortal coils has been decreed by the Fates through the agency of that austere body, the School Board, which day Will be June seventh. i7 FJ 105 Our funeral services will be held the following day in the auditorium Of the majestic edifice. Music Hall. Here among our friends and rela- tives, on a platform decked with flowers, we will be laid to rest. The remarks will be made by our most honored friend and classmate, the orator, and with his closing words the last flickering spark of life will depart from us. Therefore this class has with all proper legal procedure, drawn up this last will and testa- ment: We, the class of 1912, being about to leave this world, in full possession of a sound mind, memory and understanding. do make and pub- lish this. our last will and testament. hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. ltem. We give and bequeath tu the Fac- ulty relief from all our pranks and misde- meanors carried on within the sacred precincts of the schrml. 2. We give and bequeath tn them all old exam papers and old compositions which we wrote by the million and which will prnye interesting reading for the very young. Item, We give and bequeath tn the dear little class which is now the Freshman class. the advice that they so conduct themselves during the three successive years that they may be- come at length as dignified and learned as we are now. Item. We bequeath tn same under-classmen also the map fixtures which we SH thoughtfully purchased. on these cnnditions: 1. That they keep their faces bright and beaming. 3. That they don't crack the glass recep- tacleh and apuil the nickel plate of the holders. .5. That no puns 0r jnkes be made on the l06 subject of the soap's queer runny condition and appearance. ltem. We bequeath to them the piece of pie crust that we thoughtlessly dropped down the Ventilating shaft on this condition: That they do not destroy ur tear down build- ing looking for same crust. Let it lie in peace. ltem. We bequeath to them the troubles Ctiiitracted by us while learning Latin til and Geometry t2l. and the acid burns on our noses in Chemistry m and our English note books Ml; with these conditions on each case: 1. That they never use a pony. 3. That they don't eat their food in angles and quadrilaterals. 3. That they never put ammonium hydrox- ide on their prubnstises tn heal them. 4. That they attempt tn read the varied and intricate handwriting therein. Item. We bequeath tn them every brick in the yard. every stone and beam in the building. every bnulx' in the desks and every bit of loyal spirit and patriotic enthusiasm left by us, to be used, studied. respected. and preserved. 50 that they may in turn be bequeathed to suc- ceeding classes in succeeding years.

Every year it becomes harder and harder to get advertisements for a publication of this kind. Those of us who have spent our evenings in making out lists and writing to prospective advertisers, who have sat through school all day, wondering where we were going to get more advertisements, and who have spent the rest of our time in calling on hundreds of business men. know what this means.
