All hail to our sagacious sage, philosopher, moralizer and cynical humorist. His fund of dry wit springs from an ever- lasting source. Besides these things, Bob is modest. My, how we did have to hght to get his picture in this Annual! We pre- dict a success in life for Bob, if he is not blown through the roof of the chemistry laboratory before graduation. LYDIA ANNA BECK Dramatic Club. Lydia, although quiet and retiring, and seldom volunteering an opinion Hunless asked, takes a live and heart-felt interest in the affairs of the Class. She studies diligently, and her sunny, hopeful nature has enabled her to take test and examination Without a qualm of fear. Her happy optimism and irrepressible good humor have made her a. most welcome comrade to us all. HOWARD H. BESUDEN . President Dramatic Club, Treasurer Roam III, Art Editor iiGleam, Art Editor Remembrancer, Chairman A Grade Affairs Committee. Aha! Ladies and Gentlemen! Allow me to present to you the only original living lady killer, Howard iBeau Brummeh Besuden. iiSudy is Treasurer of Room III, and he is more persistent than any book agent that ever drew breath. Be- sides this, he is also talented as an actor and artist. He has great ambitions in the artistic line. May success open her portals to him! FRIEDA BESUNER uMusic hath charms, and so has our musician, Frieda, better known as Fritzie. Frieda is one of the leading musicians at school, and has favored us with her wonderful piano selections many, many times. This is only one of her good points, for she is well liked and has made many friends during her high-school years. That she may have success in her musical career is the sincere wish of her Class. ESTELLE MARGARET BORKES This little 13.55 is short of stature, but long in common sense. She received a certificate '12, diploma F14. and post-graduate degree and medal 16 from Schusteris School of Dramatic Art. Not only is she an artist in reading and elocution, but she is a graceful dancer and a talented musician. Her best accomplishment is reading French. nLiii Boy is a staunch and loyal friend, gifted with an ever-present sense of humor and ready wit. ETHEL V. BREEZE HGleam Staff. Ethel is a universal favorite and our Class Beauty. Be- sides these attributes, the faculty will testify to her ability as a. student. Her work in Literature is the most notable, and it was awarded by the honor of being chosen AIumnal Editor of The Gleamf, 10 VIRGINIA MOORE BURKE Dramatic Club. Dear, jolly, happy-go-lucky Jimmy! Every day, as the tardy bell rings, her face comes peeping around the door of Room 1, and she asks, Am I late? HJimmie unending good nature and her merry laugh have won for her a deserved popularity. STEWART S. COOPER Dramatic Club, Editor-in-Chief of The Gleam, President of the Senior Debating Club. Stewart's predominating characteristics are modesty, industry and self-reliance. As editor, he safely piloted The Gleam through the shoals and breakers of a stormy year. He has won great honors for the school in debate. Three times has he been the captain of a victorious team. Cooper is a brilliant fellow, and his Class considers itself fortunate in having him as their valedictorian. He leaves the school bearing with him the best wishes of many friends. His classmates will doubtless give himr their votes for Congressman in the coming years. ALICE ELAINE DE BECK Dramatic Club, Glee Club, Gleam Staff, 'tRemembrancer Staff. The success of the 1916 HRerrlembmncer is largely due to the untiring efforts of our fair Editor-in-Chief, Elaine. She has a sunny nature and a gentle charm of manner that have endeared her to a host of loyal friends. She is one of our Class beauties and is, moreover, a splendid student. Her friends all predict a brilliant literary career for her. May Life be kind to, and Fortune smile upon, our Elaine. 11 GEORGE DELL Baseball. Although George did not spend the first two years of his high- school life With us, he has come to our school possessed of the true Walnut Hills spirit. Considering that athletics, intellect, school spirit and good fellowship of the student body has won Walnut Hills her reputation, our classmate, George, is a true- blue Walnut Hills boy. MILDRED PAULINE DEPPERMAN Dramatic Club. Did you ever know anybody Who had prettier dimples than our Mildred? Just to see her smile makes one forget his troubles. Mildred is not a quiet girl, nor is she always making a noise, but we all know that she is full of fun. Mildredis hair is one of her greatest treasures. She is a faithful student, never shirking any duty. We wish her happiness in the future. ROBERT JOHN DOYLE Manager Baseball Team, lTells Committee. Irish is easily distinguished from the rest of his classmates by his broad and everlasting grin. Every now and then, he takes an hour or two off from doing nothing and wanders out on the ball grounds. He has been a tower of strength to baseball, and he pulls those balls from the air like a sleight of hand performer and with the grace of that little bird they call the elephant. Bob is well liked and we shall be glad to count him among our friends in after life. 12 JAMES DAVID FARLEY, JR. Let me introduce to you the latest addition to our Class. Coming as late in the year as he did, we do not feel that we can do him justice. His quiet and unassuming manners have made us all his friend. That fiery, red hair and square jaw speak for hime'll will. We wish the best for you, James. MILDRED ZORELDA FERRIS Dramatic Club. Mildred has only one fault, and that is her inability to arrive at school on time. However, we donlt hold this against her, because her jolly good nature overbalances her one little error. She is always laughing, and perhaps this is the secret of her chubbiness. Her motto is laugh and the world laughs with you. Keep it up, Mildred, it will help you over lifels rough places. MARY ELIZABETH FRANCIS Dramatic Club. We all think a great deal of Betty. Her merry brown eyes are always sparkling with fun, and she is always ready for a good time. Betty is one of our Class beauties, and a famous Pigeon Walker. 13 HELEN MOORE GHOLSON Dramatic Club. Her voice was ever soft and low, An excellent thing is woman. Who could not love Helen? She is tall, pretty and dignified. She always received the highest marks in all her subjects. Her sweet disposition and good nature have won her many friends during her four years at school, and the Class 0f 16 Wishes her success in all her undertakings. THADDEUS REAMY GILLESPIE Gym Team, Gleam Staff, Track Team, Debating Club, Dramatic Club. Thad holds the pre-eminent and awe-inspiring position of President of the ClaSS of '16. This year many burdens connected with the work of the Class have been laid upon him, but he has attended to them faithfully and in the best manner. He is the most popular fellow in the Class, and has been prominent in both the Debating and Dramatic Clubs. He is also one of our steadiest and most dependable scholars and supports and participates in athletics. WILLIAM GILLESPIE All hail to this most marvelous wonder! Bill caught up to us in the final year, because he is making four years in three. Despite the extra work that he thrust upon himself by attempting the four years in three,Bi11 has been a brilliant satellite in, and a great acquisition to, the Debating Club. Our William has helped conquer the Senior Debaters in his Sophomore year, has lead our legions to honor over Hartwell this year, and has upheld Walnut Hills at Louisville. 14 MARGARET HICKS GRAY 'tMarg has won her way into our hearts, not only by her gentle ways and soft Southern drawl, but also by the sweetness of her character and her loyalty to friends. PERCIVAL ALLEN GRAY Although Percival has been with us for only three months, we have learned his characteristics pretty thoroughly. He is very quiet and unobtrusive, a good student, and not at all averse to the fair sex. In fact, considering the short time he has been with us, he has developed a remarkable friendship for the inmates of Room 1. We regret that he did not join us earlier in the year, for he has manifested no little interest in our activities, and has, indeed, been a valuable addition to the Class. MARJORIE HANAUER Dramatic Club. Marjorie is very quiet, and a splendid student. Her short stories have met with the approval of every member of ,16, and we all wish Marjorie every happiness in the years to come. 15 ALMA LENORE HEINEMAN Dramatic Club, Debating Club. Alma, better known as Angel Face, is a member of the Debating Club and the Dramatic Club. Her work in both organ- izations has made her famous. Alma is friendly toward all, and to know her is to love her? It was not hard for Alma to play the role of Lady Olivia in the Christmas entertainment, because her manner and actions are always ladylike. She is one of the brighfc lights in all her classes, and we know the teachers enjoy having pupils of the iiAngel Face type. We do not know what Alma is going to do next year, but we wish her success in anything she may undertake. AARON HOLZBERG Football, Gym Team, Track Team. Though Yut is quiet and unassuming, he has made us all sit up and take notice by his work in athletics. He is also a poet, when he cares to court the Muse. Neither he nor anyone else knows what he is preparing himself for, but When he finally decides on his future career, we feel sure he will succeed. JOHANNA HYMAN Dramatic Club. Our Jo , though she doesnlt show it, is as good a manager as she is a dancer. Have you noticed how well she has succeeded in separating us from our monthly dimes in the Dramatic Club? The qualities which will make Johanna a successful woman are her loyalty in friendship, her outspoken truthfulness and her good common sense. 16 ETHEL KINNEY Dramatic Club. Your eyes, whene'er on me they turn, C ause my heart with. hm to burn. Ethel is one of the prettiest girls in our Class and not only that, but popular and attractive as well. By her cheery laughter and bright smiles, she has won her way into the hearts of her loving classmates. She is a conscientious student, and we expect to hear glowing reports of her future work at Wellesley. CLIFFORD RAYMOND KNAPP Baseball Team. Cliff modestly slipped into our Class at the beginning of this year. Since we have broken through his reserve, we have always found him a considerate friend and conscientious worker, ever ready to do a good turn for the Class. He has great baseball ability and promises to be a tower of strength to the team this year. JEANETTE RUTH KUSSEL Dramatic Club. We will all agree that iiJean is perfectly all right, as she has so of ten spoken of her friends. She is an enthusiastic member of the Dramatic Club and a very clever writer. We all love J ean. 17 MILDRED KATHRYN LE SOURD Dramatic Club. Our llPeaches With her lovely auburn curls and pretty pink cheeks, is one of the most attractive girls of the Class. Her charming ways have won many friends, and the longer we know her, the more we love her. Shels little, but, oh my! HELEN LINNARD Dramatic Club. Was there ever a girl so natural, so perfectly dear, as our Helen? She is a fine actress, as. her work in the Dramatic Club has shown. Her love of talking won for her the title of HN0isies.t in the Class. HELEN MARGARET MANK Dramatic Club. Helen we know her by no other namel is tall and fair and graceful. She is usually quiet and not at all inclined to chatter, but, nevertheless, our class would not be complete without Helen to help us when we are in trouble, and to laugh with us when we are gay. 18 FRANCIS MCGURK Mac landed among us bag and baggage, at the beginning of this, our final year. Steele certainly lost a good scout, when Francis came to Walnut Hills. Although light, Mac was quite an acquisition to the football team last Fall. Our only regret is that he did not complete his full four years at dear, old Walnut Hills with the rest of us. FREDERICK NELSON McMILLAN, JR. Track Team, Gym Team, Dramatic Club, A. A. Red, the boy wonder, is the youngest fellow in the Class, and he has the novel experience of graduating from high school at the age of sixteen. He has been a member of the gym team for three years and is a good performer on the bar. He is a runner, too. Red is the one who is most frequently seen on the track, galloping away at a. merry pace, showing his Venus-like form for the edification of our young ladies. Red has that grit and de- termination which means success. CLYDE VERNON MILLER thleam StaiT, ttRemembrancer Staff, Dramatic Club. Behold one of our renowned Thespians and musicians. Clyde Vernon is a fine fellow and is one of the most popular members of the Class. Although he is not guilty of having made any especially brilliant records in scholarship, he is a good student. His accomplishment most appreciated by others is his imper- sonation of characters, for he is an adept at this art. 19 WILLIAM A. MORTON President of Dramatic Club, iiGleam Stalf, Associate Editor of The nRemembrancer. Bill is a product of the farm. Coming to us in the Junior year, he has shown himself to be a physicist, mathematician and philosopher. He is an excellent conversationalist and a profound thinker. He has become an adept at juggling test tubes and reagent bottlesi Bill has chosen the field of science as his life pursuit, and his many friends of the Class of 16 join in wishing him signal success. i GENEVIEVE MULVIHILL Genevieve, better known as J a Bie, is one of the most modest and unassuming girls of the Class of 16. Her ever-ready smile is one of her greatest attributes, and she is always ready for a good time. Her sincerity and charm of manner has endeared her to a. host of friends. CHARLES STANTON PARKER Dramatic Club, Gieam Staff, Remembrancer StaH, Cheer Leader, President of Tennis Club, Charley's small, but so was Napoleon. He will always be remembered as our indefatigable cheer leader and as a charter member of the Room 2 Glee Club. Charles has a store of ready wit, which has found expression in the joke columns of The Gleam? He is an all-around good fellow. His future career as yet remains undecided, wavering between poet and farmer; 20 MARTHA PAULING Dramatic Club. Martha is a rather quiet, self-contained, thoroughly lovable girl, with blue eyes and a wonderful head of brown curls. Her Dramatic Club work has been very successful, and we all prophesy a happy future for this little girl. CHARLOTTE PICHEL ' Dramatic Club. Debating Club, Spanish Club, Louisville Debating Team., Hartwell Debating Team. Our baby star, Charlotte, is the youngest member of ,16 and, although she has been with us only this year, she has been a worthy addition to the class. Charlotte helped Walnut Hills win in two debates. She has made many friends by her sweet disposition, and the Class of '16 wishes her good luck in all that she undertakes. EUSTACE CHARLES PRIEBE Track Team, Football, Baseball. Uselessn is the baby giant of the Class, being at the same time one of the youngest and biggest. Priebls- long suit is football. He tries at everything tas all youngsters will dol and the long and short of it is that he usually makes good. Eustace expects to take up agriculture as a. profession. Back to nature is his cry. Luck to you, Prieb, the country is the place for you! 21 RUTH PUNSHON Secretary of Class, Dramatic Club. Ruth, better known as i'Push, our hard-working Secretary, has never been known to miss a good time, and yet, in some way unknown to the rest of the Class, she always manages to know all of her lessons. A true friend and a jolly comrade to all with whom she comes in contact is our beloved Push. SAMUEL REITMAN Sam is the distinctively individual type of the A Grade. He studies less and is brighter than most of us. Witty and full of fun, Sam enters into every activity with incomparable vim. This is significant in that it shows his push. Knowing how Sam is able to attain his ends, we are confident that he will hold a foremost position in his life work. JEAN HASTIE ROBINSON Dramatic Clubl Glee Club, Gleam Staff. Bonny Jean, with iisunshine in her hair, is but the reflection of her pure, worthy soul, rich in its treasure of knowledge of the good and true; of unselfishness and deep affection; of powers of achievement yet untried. She is possessed of the rare touchstone by which she may distinguish the genuine from the false, and assimilate it for the strengthening of her own spirit. 22 EVELYN E. ROSEBOOM Dramatic Club. Evelyn is one of our dearest geniuses. Her forte is to let her fingers run light! y over the piano keys, and to produce thereby harmony unrivalled by the music of the spheres. Evelyn is full of fun, and her jolly comments made her the life of the French Class. Happiness to you, Eveline. DOROTHY LELAND RUDOLPH Art School, Remembrancer StafL Dorothy, better known to us as D0t, can easily be described by three adjectives beginning with d,,--dear, diminutive and dainty. She is very ambitious and talented, and we all expect to see our little artist attain immortal success. ETHEL ANNETTE SALKOVER Dramatic Club. Ethel is an authority on English; for this subject she has gained fame in the walls of Walnut Hills. The reading of her stories has been a continual source of joy to us, and her work holds prom- ise of a brilliant literary career for her. 23 RUTH SCHROFF Dramatic Club. Ruth is faithful to duty. Each morning of the four years has found Ruth with her lessons as fully prepared as earnest study could make them. Like a true alchemist, using as her agent, Endeavor, she has changed the dull coat of unattractive Work into the gleaming gold of Achievement. JAMES SCRUGHAM Baseball Team. Wherever we find Jim, there we find Jest and youthful Jollity. His elongated form is the symbol of merriment and school spirit. His care-free heart forbids him worrying over his studies, yet his regular attendance shows that he has a purpose in mind. His favorite pastime is gamboling on the baseball field and, in so doing, has rendered valuable services to the team for several years. EUGENE SEGAL Dramatic Club. Euge is always on the job. Here, there and everywhere is his motto, and he usually makes the rounds dropping some witty saying as he moves. Once in a great while, Euge may be seen sitting in some corner pensively musing 0n the strange mutability of human affairs. Thank goodness, these moods never last long and then, away our little fairy flutters. Eugene intends to follow the newspaper business. Next year, he will be a cub. Suc- cess to you, Eugene! 24 JOHN DEWEY SHIELDS IIIeJunior Debating Club; IVisenior Club, Dramatic Club, Business Manager 0f iiThe Gleam, uRemembrantier Staif. Veni, Vidi, Vici. Johnny is a doer of deeds, not by brawn, but by brains, and nearly every organization has been benefitted materially by his membership. He is his only enemy, in that his modesty is his greatest drawback. In whatever field of endeavor John decides to cast his lot, we feel certain that he will attain his goal. MARGUERITE ELLEN SHIGLEY Dramatic Club, Glee Club. Peggy is a loyal worker for the good of Walnut Hilis High. She succeeds in everything she tries to do and, although she is studious, she always seems to enjoy herself. She is quite success- ful as an actress, and she was one of the lucky members of the Oratorical Contest. LUCILE SKINNER Dramatic Club; Vice-President of the Class. She spreads about that silent spell That makes all people love her well. A thoughtful calm, a quiet grace, and yet the jolliest of the jolly as occasion offers itself, characterizes Lucile. She is one of the most versatile girls of the Class and very talented in music, and we appreciate her delightful entertainments. Her sympa- thetic nature, combined With strength of character and attractive personality has made her one of the most popular girls 'of the Class. 25 HALL SMITH Smittytt has been prominent among us throughout our course. Social activities, football and the gym team divided Hallts attention, especially in this, our last year. Herets luck to you, Hall, may that same light-hearted spirit carry you through life that has brought you through to your high-school goal. MARJORIE FLORENCE SORBER Dramatic Club, Debating Club, Louisville Debating Team, 'tRemembrancerH Staff. No one can deny the fact that Buggses is the very life of 16. There is nothing so dreary that Marjorie can not appreciate the humor in it and make some witty, little remarks about it. Every tablet in Room 1 bears witness of Marjoriets skill as an artist. ELIZABETH MICHIE SPALDING Dramatic Club, Spanish Club, Gleam Staff. What would we do without optimistic Elizabeth? Her pretty, brown eyes are always brimming over with laughter and She has a kind word and welcoming smile for everyone. Elizabeth is a careful student, and her many friends expect to hear glowing reports of her future work. 26 PERCY STRAUSS Manager Football Team. Percy entered the dear old halls of Walnut Hills just in time to catch us in the third year of our high-school journey. He im- mediately entered into the social life of the class and also proved himself to be not. half bad as a student. HThe Remembrancer of 1916 surely is indebted to Pere for the great number of ads that he has secured. Herels luck to you, Percy, from the Class of 16! JEANNETTE STRIKER Dramatic Club. The pretty, blue eyes, gentle smile and quiet dignity of Jean- nette have won her many friends. She is our best dancer, and her sunny, delightful temperament is the source of her popularity. ALICE ELIZABETH TOMMASSENE Dramatic Club. HTommy is one of the Class beauties. Her sunny disposition and cheery laughter make her the irresistible type of girl that we all admire. She has participated in all the Class activities and endeared herself to the hearts of all her classmates. 27 ABE VILLENSKY Abe has been with us through thick and thin for four full years. His smiling countenance is the first cheerful greeting which confronts the breathless straggler, as he scuttles through the door shortly after the reverberating echoes of the tardy bell have died forever in the distance. May that smile enlighten others as it does him who is tardy. Only keep it up, Abe, is the sincere desire of your dear, old classmates. - HARRY VILLENSKY Sleuthii is undoubtedly the busiest boy in the Class. Besides maintaining enviable averages in his studies, he serves as a pro- fessional waiter in the lunch room at intermission, manages a thriving newspaper business after school, and pursues his favorite study, electrical engineering, at night. His capacity for work is equalled only by his amicability, for a friendly greeting is ever on his tongue. We know that he deserves, and we are certain that he will attain, success in whatever he may undertake. FRIEDA VOLTZ What would we all do Without Frieda? She is quiet, patient, gentle and, above all, dependable. She is very proficient in her studies, and whatever she has to do, she does well. She is never too tired to be pleasant and she has a warm smile and words of encouragement for us all. 28 MARION WALLACE Treasurer of Class; Dramatic Chlb. Spanish Club. Small and bewitching is our Baby? Ever will we remember, llGirls, I wish you would bring your dues! For, you see, she is our Class Treasurer.

Just be your own self, Marion, and you will never cease to be lovable. ROBERT E. WENTE Football, Baseball, Track Team. Gym Team, 'lRemembrancer Staff. During his life at Walnut Hills, Bob has shown that he is the kind of fellow who can make good at anything. He never let athletics affect his lessons, and he certainly has made a Hgood job of both. Considering Bobls fine qualities, we are confident that, in coming days, he Will make a steady climb to success. FRANCES KLEIN WILSON Spanish Club.

She is always jolly, and can be depended upon to do whatever she is asked to, with the best efforts of which she is capable. 29 MARJORIE ESTELLE WILSON Marjorie has endeared herself to a host of friends during her years at Walnut Hills High School.

This purpose was mani- fest in the name which was given the paper, for uThe Gleam, in Tennysonis lines, symbol- izes a high ideal. During the twenty eventful years of its existence, The Gleamn has endeavored to live up to the expectations of its founders. Each succeeding staff has labored assiduously to maintain the high standard of the paper, and each staff has been rejoiced to find that, in some ways, it has succeeded better than the one that preceded it. As a result, our periodical today has attained to an enviable place among the school papers of the State. This year, the staff has endeavored to broaden the field of The Gleam? To make its work more comprehensive, the number of students on the staff has been increased. Representatives of all the important organiza- tions of the school have been appointed and a Literary Staff and an Alumnal Department have been established. On the whole, all of THE GLEAM 33 ;,KILLELLUQQII ll II M H II n Qg :- a- a -.:. these innovations have justified themselves and have worked remarkably well. The columns of nThe Gleam have been the medium through which many of the students of our school have given expression to the best products of their labor or of their genius. Stories, sketches and poems, typical composi- tions of high-school pupils, have appeared upon its pages, while the School Activities column, the Athletics, the ttAlumni, the ttEx- changes, and the Jokes and Personals columns have kept the students well informed on all matters pertaining to their school. But ttThe Gleam, we trust, has not been a mere instructor, a mere bearer of news. It has voiced the highest aims and aspirations of the pupils of Walnut Hills High School. It has made their triumphs its triumphs; their defeats, its defeats. It has desired to see Walnut Hills supreme on the diamond and gridiron, as well as on the forum. It has ever pleaded for greater class loyalty and a greater and better school spirit. In a word, it has endeavored to oppose strenuously all things that would tend to sully, and to support zealously all things that would tend to glorify, the name of our school- STEWART s.

SSION WA? HEN our Pilgrim fathers sailed across the unknown Atlantic from the Old World to the New, they came in search of a land of free- dom, where they might live their lives and worship their Creator according to the dictates of their own consciences, undisturbed by the decrees of kings. The little spark of liberty which they brought over With them was fanned by many years of practical self-government into an unquenchable fire that burned in the heart of every American colonistian inherent love of freedom that unmistakably manifested itself in the American Revolution, in the per- sistence With which our forefathers continued a seemingly hopeless struggle until they had won the freedom of their native land, and, lastly, in that unique, wonderful document, the Declaration of Independence, which pro- claimed to the world that there had risen a new nation whose government was based on the sound, eternal principles of human equality and human liberty, a nation that would be the champion of oppressed peoples and the ex- ponent of the freedom of Man. Based on such principles of representative government, this nation achieved a material greatness far beyond that which any of its founders foresaw. That indomitable patriet, 38 the American pioneer, has plodded dauntlessly through the sudden forest, across the limitless prairie, over the rocky mountains, to the western sea, yea, he has bridged the broad Pacific and has opened up unlimited commercial possibilities in the Far East. Our country is bounded by oceans; our industries are un- numbered, and our resources inexhaustible. Our national wealth is unequalled by that of any other country, and nothing can better express the growth of our population than the declaration of Burke that, set the figure as high as we may, the number is reached eier a census can be taken. These achievements have made our country known and honored as never before throughout the world. These material achievements give to her the infiuence and the power to accomplish that important part of her great mission -the diffusion of the gospel of democracy among the peoples of the earth. But it is not physical strength and material resources that constitute the true greatness of our country; it is the ideals for which she stands. It is not merely her vast extent of land, her increasingly great population, or her unsur- passed wealth that makes America beloved by her sons and admired by the world; it is her embodied liberty regulated by law; it is her liberty resting upon organized institutions through which society and civilization may attain their most perfect consummation. Our country is not entirely domain; it represents a principle, the most exalted of all national principles, the principle of free government and free men. You will find people in foreign lands who do not know our population or the number of acres under our flag. You will find people who do not know how much wheat we raise or how much cotton we expert, but you will not find people anywhere who have not some conception of America's ideals of justice, of honor and of liberty. These ideals have been a light shining out unto all the world, and their rays have illumined the shores of every land. Love for these ideals is that which impels the humblest American to fight and die, if necessary, in the defense of his native land. Knowledge of these ideals is that which causes the heart of the youth to throb and the eyes of the veteran to moisten at the sound of the nationis anthem. These ideals, developed and upheld by our Democracy, have made the democratic idea of government increasingly popular throughout the world, until its ad- vance has been the overshadowing political fact of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Upon what does our Democracy and our American ideals of liberty depend? They depend upon and are manifested in our demo- cratic institutionsiin the right of every citizen to vote and to have his vote freely cast and fairly counted, in the spirit of the American 39 home with its rightful co-equality, in the com- plete freedom of speech and of religious wor- ship, and, especially, in our splendid and un- equalled public schools, which are pushing the scientific advance in every possible direction and promoting every conceivable phase of intellectual activity. Other peoples, inspired by our example and often aided by us materially, have cast off the foreign yoke and have established governments similar to our own, but, because they have not adopted our institutions, because they have failed to realize the absolute necessity of popular education, because they have not known the value of the nonepartizan and the non-sectarian public school, it has been im- possible for them to acquire the blessings and the greatness which we enjoy. All free govern- ments, whatever their name, are, in reality, governments by public opinion, and it is on the quality of that public opinion that their prosperity depends. It is, therefore, our bounden duty, if we wish to insure the per- manence of our republic, ever to cherish and munificently maintain that institution which has been the foundation of our nationts great- ness, that institution which has, made repre- sentative government a possibility, that in- stitution which has made America the hope of humanity the public school. The full significance of the work that has been done, and is now being done, by the public school is scarcely realized by the people of the United States. Our public schools have already been the most potent factor in the development of our democratic civilization, because they have elevated the masses out of ignorance and have opened up highways to the minds and hearts of the people along which untrammeled religion and free thought travel, and they are becoming a more potent factor still as their evolution matures. The public schools alone can accomplish the great task of assimilating the thousands of unlettered immigrants that pour into our country daily. I can take you into quarters of New York where you might think yourself in a Russian Ghetto, or into regions of Pennsylvania Which would seem to you like Hungarian mining towns, but if you will come with me into the public schools Where the children of these people of the Old World are receiving an education, you will find yourselves in the midst of a body of fairly intelligent and genuinely patriotic young Amer- icans. These children, taught by precept and by example the ideals for which America stands, are fast becoming desirable citizens and are ever infusing into our country that new vigor and new life which have made it the most progressive nation in the world. Not only in the assimilation of our thousands of immigrants, however, is the indispensable service that is being performed by the public school manifest, for its obligations to the children of our own country are greater than ever before. Owing to the stress of modern business conditions, which rests upon the father, and owing to the increased social activities of the mother, the work of instructing and dis- ciplining the youth, Which was once performed 40 in the home, has been transferred, to a great extent, to the public school, and the latter has become the instructor of the youth not only in letters, but in manners and morals as well. As the influence of the home has de- clined, the influence and responsibility of the school have proportionately increased, until today it can be truthfully said that the beliefs and prejudices that will govern the actions of the American citizen of tomorrow are being moulded in the public schools throughout our country today. If our nationis ideals are to be nobler and loftier in the future, patriotism, honesty, integrity and a spirit of unselfishness must be inspired in the bosoms of our budding youth. If America is to set the grandest example of a true democracy that the world has ever seen, a realization of the blessings of free government and an insight into the value of liberty must be instilled into the hearts of the rising generation. Surely, the importance and the responsibility of the public school, as a national institution, are increasingly great, for it is moulding the future manhood, setting the future ideals, and thus directly determin- ing the future mission of our country. But by far the most important duty of the American public school has been to instill into the hearts of the youth the fundamental principles of human equality and thus to hasten the day when the earth will rejoice in the realization of the brotherhood of Man. In the playgrounds of this very city you can find children descended from all the warring nations playing together as brothers. That which the statesmen 01' Europe for centuries have con- sidered an impossibility has come to pass. Latin and Hungarian, Slav and Teuton, under the benign influence of this great democracy, have forgotten their ancient enmities and have commingled to form the loyal citizenry of their adepted land. The old brick schoolhouse, in the slums of any one of our large cities, has accomplished more for the cause of humanity and for the advancement of the human race than all the trained and titled diplomats of the kingdoms of Europe. Not until America shall have fulfilled her great mission, not until the principles of free government shall have supplanted the wills of monarchs in the gov- ernments of all nations, will the world be in- sured against such calamitous wars as the one that has today drawn into its awful vortex three-fifths of the people of the earth; not until then will it be possible for peace and concord, love and brotherhood to obtain in the world. It is, therefore, the duty of every American to strive earnestly for the fulfillment of his countryis mission. Especially, it is the duty of us, who have enjoyed the advantages of a good education, who realize the manifold 41 blessings of a free government, to be resolved to do all we can to make our Democracy, and all the great institutions upon which she rests, so pure, so Virtuous, so strong that, in our day and generation, her spirit may travel across the continents, over the seas to the remotest islands, and inspire the oppressed peoples of all lands to arise, to cast off the yokes that enthrall them, and to enjoy the light of liberty. And then, when the sacred right of every people to be governed by its own laws is recog- nized by all nations, When equality and liberty have become the corner stones of human governments, then, and not until then, shall we be able to realize the Brotherhood of Man or the ItFederation of the World? God grant that America may succeed in the accomplishment of her sacred mission. May the time soon come when the ideals of democ- racy and liberty will be established throughout the world, when the hostile nations, united in one common brotherhood, will never again enter the fatal deadlock of war. God speed the time when Latin and Hungarian, Slav and Teuton, in the Old World as in the New, will dwell side by side, as brothers, in peace. STEWART S.

During 1915-16, the Senior Debating Club has not only upheld her repu- tation, but has added lustre to her name. Although much should be said in praise of the laurels won by the debaters, yet we must give a very great part of the credit to Miss Aldrich, under whose instruction we have gained these honors. Officers of the Year, 1915-16 In October, 1915, the following officers were elected for the first semester: President, Thaddeus Gillespie; Vice-President, Eleanor Axline; Secretary, Alma Heineman; Treasurer, Burnham Finney; Chairman of the Executive Committee, Raymond Cooper.

WOODWARD-WALNUT HILLS DEBATE The eventful season of interscholastic debate was opened on January 21, 1916, when Wood- ward and Walnut Hills met to discuss the sub- ject: ttResolved, That the United States Should Place an Embargo on the Shipment of Muni- tions to the Belligerent Nations. Stewart S. Cooper, Burnham Finney, Eleanor Axline, speakers, and J . Dewey Shields, alternate, com- posing the Walnut Hills team, upheld the negative side of the question. The Woodward representatives were: Miss Lever, Carl Adams, Alexander Korda, speakers, and Joseph Evans, alternate, who defended the afiirmative. Dr. Condon acted as Moderator. Professor West, of the University of Cincinnati, J udge Hoffman and Attorney Shockley served as Judges. Mr. E. M. Benedict, of Walnut Hills, and Mr. Sayre, of Woodward, were timekeepers. The debate was full of interest and, although both sides were well upheld, as usual, our team was the better, and was awarded the decision of two to one. o v o 50 e; 0.0 HARTWELL-WALNUT HILLS DEBATE Miss Aldrich kindly offered her home as the meeting place of the Hartwell and Walnut Hills Debating Clubs, Where, on Friday evening, February 25, 1916, a debate between the two clubs was held, Resolved, That a Federal Law Should Be Enacted Providing for a Minimum Wage in Mines, Shops, Factories and Depart- ment Stores, was the subject of the discussion. Walnut Hills was represented by William Gilles- pie, Charlette Pichel, Robert Agar, speakers, and Sydney Blackslegger, alternate. The speakers from Hartwell were Virginia Baker, Francis Hamnel and Edward Meyers. Miss Aldrich acted as Moderator. Atley S. Henshaw, Princi- pal of our school, Attorney Smith Hickenlooper, Mrs. Stuerwald, teacher of Hartwell, were Judges. Robert Schlotmann and Miss Stuer- wald were timekeepers. The Hartwell Club had been given the choice of sides. They chose the negative, the stronger of the two, leaving for us the aiiirmative. In spite of this fact, however, we defeated them, and Walnut 45 Hills was again victorious, winning the de- cision by a vote of two to one. After the debate, the Walnut Hills Club gave a party to the Hartwell Club. The rest of the evening was given over to having a good time, and our aim was surely carried out. Mr. Henshaw gave us a rare treat by whistling some of his famous selections. All participated in the entertainment in the way of recitations. piano solos, songs and anecdotes. v v c 50 0.0 0.- THE LOUISVILLE-WALNUT HILLS DEBATE The last and biggest event of the season was the dual debate between Louisville Boys, High School and Walnut Hills High School, on the subject: Resolved, That a Federal Law Should Be Enacted Providing for a Minimum Wage in Mines, Shops, Factories and Depart- ment Stores? The Douglasses from Louis- ville met the ttLincolnstt of Cincinnati in our school on Friday evening, March 3lst, 1916. Louisville boys, Hugh K. Bullett, Ezra Sikking, Lawrence BischoH, speakers, and Carl Franke, alternate, who came to Cincinnati, defended the negative. Our home team, Stewart S. Cooper, Charlotte Piehel, J . Dewey Shields, speakers, and Loretta Kroger, alternate, up- held the afhrmative. Dean Burris, of the University of Cincinnati, was Moderator. Mr. H. O. Sluss, Superintendent of the Gov- ington, Ky., Schools, Professors B. C. Van Wye and Henry West, of the University of Cincin- nati were Judges. Dr. H. E. Newman, of Walnut Hills High School, and 3. Louisville teacher were timekeepers. The Study Hall was beautifully decorated in yellow and white, and blue and gray, represent- ing the two schools. The large attendance encouraged the speakers and both teams en- tered into a fiery discussion. The Walnut Hills team won the greatest victory of the year, the decision being unanimous in its favor. The Walnut Hills Orchestra played several selections preceding and following the debate. After the music ceased, all assembled in the gymnasium and, accompanied by the orchestra, enjoyed the dancing. The next day, Saturday, through the kindness of some of the boys of the club, our Visitors were shown our city. The Walnut Hills team upholding the nega- tive, in Louisville, was composed of Burnham Finney, William Gillespie, Margery Sorber, Speakers, and Eleanor Axline, alternate. On the same evening, this team opposed the home team of Louisville, which defended the afhrm- ative side of the question. The affirmative team of Louisville was made up of the follow- ing: Howard Stephenson, William M. Sale, Jr., Jesse Rabam, speakers, and Paul Winters, alternate. The debate between these teams Was held in the auditorium 0f the Louisville school. There we were not so successful, for our negative team was defeated by a decision of two to one. Mrs. Carl Klemm, daughter-in-law of Mrs. Klemm, of our school, chaperon of the team going to Louisville, kept the Visitors at her home. entertained during its stay in Louisville. CHARLOTTE PICHEL.

HE hrst meeting of the Junior Debating Club took place Monday, September 20th, in Room 10, With an encouraging attendance from the C and D Grades. After drawing up a constitution, an election of oHicers ensued, the result being: Mr. Schmidt, President; Miss Hunt, Vice-President; Miss Sachteleben, Secre- tary; Mr. Williams, Treasurer, and Miss Otis, Chairman of the Program Committee. On Monday, February 7, the Debating Club held its semi-annual election of officers. Mr. Williams was elected President; Mr. Wood, Vice-President; Miss Williams, Secretary; Mr. Jaffe, Treasurer, and Miss Tucker, Chairman of the Program Committee. It is evident from the recent debates that the members have lost none of the enthusiasm that they displayed in the first part of the year, thus making this year's work very interesting and successful. Many interesting debates have been held by this Club, some of which were: ttResolved, J unior Debating Club 49 That Ohio Should Adopt Woman Suffrage, That Prohibition Should Be Adopted by Ohio, and WFhat the Presidential Term of Office Should Be Lengthened to Six Years, Without the Privilege of Re-electionft The debate on the subject, ttResolved, That the Philippines Should Govern Themselves Within Five Years, was one of exceptional merit. Miss Williams and Charles Williams defending the amrmative were defeated by Miss Perry and Mr. Dalzell, who upheld the negative side of the question. Other propositions that were very well debated were: HResolved, That Immigration Should Be Further Restricted by a Literacy Testf, ttThat the United States Should Put an Embargo 0n Munitions of War to Belligerent Nations, HThat the Present War Tax in Justifiedf, That the United States Should Own and Control Her Own Railroads, and ttThat Employers Should Consider an Eight Hour Labor Law.

ISIS'IG WALNUT HILLS FOOTBALL TEAM Holzberg, right guard Priebe, left tackle Stueve, center Grassmuck, right tackle Smith, left guard McGurk, left half-back Wente, full-back Foss, right end Strauss, M anager Marshall, quarterback Davies, end Salmar, end Horst, Tight half-back, Captain FOOTBALL HE prospects for this year were bright, but unusual hard luck robbed the team of several stars. Because of last year's scholar- ship, several members of last year's team, in- cluding Captain Davis, were unable to play, and several promising candidates were lost for the same reason. Under the management of Captain Tom Horst, the team practiced hard and played splendidly in all of the games. The two great handicaps of the team were the extreme lightness of most of the players and the fact that we had no substitutes. In the important games, almost every man was out- weighed at least twenty pounds by his opponent and so small was the number of players that the last game of the season was finished with ten men. The team journeyed to Germantown to play the hrst game with Miami Military Institute. In a well-played game, Walnut Hilis won 15 t0 0. On October 8, we were beaten by Covington at Wiedemannis, 47 to 0. On October 22, we played Hughes at Hippodrome Park. In the first part of the game, our team outplayed their heavier opponents and made large gains through the line, but soon the weight of the Hughes team told, and the final score was 24 to 0. 60 On October 29, we played Milford at Milford, and lost, 21 to 0. On November 5, our team played Woodward at Nerwood. In the first few minutes of play, Woodward made 13 points on two touchdowns. After this time, our team outplayed them and, although they were unable to cross the goal line, three points were made on a goal from the field, so that the final score was 13 t0 3. Captain Horst, right half-back, was always on the job in practice and in the games. He was always good for gains, either through the line or around the end, where he made good use of his speed; and on the defense, he was death on the tackles. Next year's team is fortunate in the fact that Tom will be back and at the head of the team. Wente, full-hack, was kept busy. He did the punting, forward-passing, most of the line plunging, and also ran the ends. In the Wood- ward and Hughes games, the Flying Dutch- man made great gains through the opponents line and his kicking and passing was excellent. Marshall, quarter-back, handled the team like a veteran. He was especially good as interference on end runs; and on bucks through center and on the defensive, he was a bear on backing up the line and running back punts. Stueve, center, was our heaviest man. He was kept out of the Hughes game because of injuries, and his loss was felt heavily. He was always full of pep and ready to work. On the offensive, his passing was excellent, and he easily ripped up his opponents line. On the defensive, he piled up all the plays that came his way and got through and broke up many others. Foss, right-end, was handicapped by inex- perience, but by dint of hard work, he developed into a line player and excellent drop-kicker. So rapid was his improvement last year, that it is safe to predict that he will star next year. Grassmuck, right tackle, developed rapidly and, as he is only a freshman, he deserves great credit; At the beginning of the year, he needed experience, but in the last games, he played like a veteran. Against heavier 0p- ponents, he was able to open up holes for the backfield and get his share of the tackles. Kimble, guard, was always game: and willing to work. He was greatly handicapped by inexperience, injuries, and his light weight for a guard. His withdrawal from school will make it necessary to find another guard for next year's team. Smith, left guard, was a fine offensive guard, because of his quickness and agilityl always getting the jump on his opponent; and he was a fine tackler. He played several games at 61 center and showed well, although he was very light for this position. Holzberg, right guard, played more different positions than any man on the team. At the first of the year, he played full-baek, then he played several games as guard and, finally, he played an end in the Woodward game. He worked faithfully in every position, especially distinguishing himself as a tackler in the Woodward game. MeGurk, left half-back, was light for the backfield, but always showed his backbone when under fire. Mac continually encouraged the other players to do better. He was a brainy player, quick-thinker and fast on his feet, so he was seldom hurt. Strauss, left half-back, was full of Hpep. In the few games which he played, he showed ability to make long gains either around the end 01' through the line. Priebe, left tackle, was considered by many the best man on our line and the best high- school tackle in the city. He was always ready to deliver the goods on the offensive, and his defensive work, especially in breaking up end runs, was marvellous. His graduation leaves a great hole in the line, which will be hard to fill. Davies, end, was light but developing well, and would in all probability have played regu- larly, but because of an injury in the Covington game, he was unable to finish the season with the team. lnmlu ISIS E a e ARLY in March, the members of the Base- ball T eam assembled in Room 24, where they held their annual election. George Dell and Robert Doyle were chosen, respectively, Captain and Manager of the team, and the new leaders immediately began searching for material to replace the members who had graduated the previous year. About twenty five candidates answered the first call for practice, and, judging from appearances, it could be seen that they would have a successful year. The team was somewhat handicapped by having only four of last yeafs members on it, namely George Dell, Robert Doyle, Robert Wente and James Scrougham. This fact necessitated the breaking in of an almost entire new team of new players. The enthusiasm, how- IEEEBHLL 63 ever, which the students manifested, aroused Captain Dell to weld the excellent material that was still available into a Winning combina- tion. Every candidate who showed the slight- est promise was given a chance, and a number of good ball players were discovered. Schedule for 1916 April 7, Walnut Hills, 3; Woodward, 9.

Previous to this year, the girls and boys have had separate clubs, but, believing that in unity lies strength, they consolidated at their first meeting this year, under the name, The Tennis Club of Walnut Hills High School. It may be interesting to the lovers of tennis to know that this club is the first organization of its kind in the history of the school, and is the direct result of the recent popularity of the sport. Our club has been greatly handicapped tbut with no hindrance to the ability of its membersi by the fact that we have no courts of our own. Ever since our organization, we 65 have been working hard to secure tennis grounds in this vicinity. Largely through the efforts of Miss Hermina Hoppe, our most diligent worker, we have finally been successful in inducing the Park Board to construct courts on the Chapel Street playground. We are now looking forward with keen anticipation to the big event of the year- the tournament. At the writing of this article, it had not been delinitely decided whether or not the challenges sent by other schools would be accepted. We have a reputable name and we take great pride in saying that this year we can give any team matched against us a good tscrap? CHARLES s. PARKER. TRACK TEAM m-u-a-u-u-o-u-u'c . D -0. - ' 3 5n. ARLY in the Fall, the members of the Track Team held their annual election, which resulted in the choice of Tom Horst as Captain and of Frederick McMillan as Manager of the team. The Track Team was greatly handicapped because most of the members either had graduated the previous year or were ineligible to represent the school. Of this number, Ellis Foote, Benfoy Stevens, Ewart Simpkinson and William Fry were especially missed. But in spite of the loss of these members, the team survived the season with a good record. A call for candidates went forth .....-:....u-..-n-.;. '0 .9. .4 l-n-n-u-m-m-um .-u.. early in January, and in response t0 the sum- mons, about twenty boys reported to Captain Horst. On March 4th, the Y. M. C. A. Meet was held at the Armory. The number of Walnut Hills students who entered was very small. Ralph Hall took third place in the parallel bars event, and Carl Rich second in the junior 50-yard dash. We had a fine junior relay team, composed of Davies, Roth, McMillan, Rich, Bamberger and Robinson, which took second place. A. HOLZBERG. Boyts Gym Team few M HE annual election of Gym Team ochers was held in the gym the second week of school. Ralph Hail was elected Captain and Tom Horst Manager. Horst resigned the managership and Bob Wente was appointed to succeed him. About fifteen new members succeeded in passing the necessary examination and, with those remaining from last year, the total membership is about fifty. Immediately, the team ttgot down to business. They re- ported every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings before school and soon they were in the best of condition. On February 5th, in the C. A. A. F. Meet at the Armory, our worthy Captain and star 69 gymnast succeeded in pulling down second place in the parallel bars event and, incidentally a silver medal. Again, in the Y. M. C. A. Carnival, on March 4th, Hall was third in the parallel bars event. As he competed with the best gymnasts in the city, Walnut Hills has reason to be proud of his fine showing. On Friday evening, April let, at Emery Auditorium, the Gym Team performed on the parallel bars before the National Association of Physical Educators. Let us hope they made a better showing on their respective apparatus than Hughes 0r Woodward. FREDERICK N. McMILLAN, Jr. Girlst Gym Team ERE they come, the most typical of American girls. See those soldierlike steps-those rosy cheeks and laughing eyes!H These are the accomplishments attained by those who meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 8.15 to 8.45 to do some advanced workP This year, the team was reorganized in Sep- tember, with fifty members, who voted Hermina Hoppe as their Captain and Marjorie Mueller, Manager. After mid-year, Friday the seventh bell was added to our meetings and ttby the sweat of our brows? we prepared calisthenics and horse-exercises for- the annual exhibition which took place at the Emery Auditorium, April let. Being acrobats is not everything, for we dance, what I mean, under the careful instructions of Doctor Knoch, we have become lithe and graceful. When the Spring weather came, the mbloomer girls worked out-of-doors, running, jumping, throwing and playing center ball. It is our mighty desire to have a girlsj track team and compete with other schools. As all things come to those who wait, we may have one. Who can tell?

I-n EVERYGIRL An Original Play By OLGA WILLIAMSON, tlheSecond Year Work 73 -..-o-..-n-u . -0-o-n-u- v-t PROLOG U E. N obodye Nobody I! have come to tell to you Something that only Nobody can do; I've come to tell you of fair Everygirl And show the troubles one has in this world. Facts of her future life will I disclose, And show how each bad habit on her grows. Not much I'll tell: some hints P11 give, but few, The rest this playlet will present to you. $akiltek3k Everygirl, a maiden fair and good, Is standing now at eve of womanhood; Through childish days shes passed, through toil and strife, And now is starting on the Path of Life. The castle bright of Happiness, her goal, Beckons onward to her youthful soul. Upon her way, great dangers will she meet, Temptation and her comrades Will her greet. Each one will, in his own seducive style, From all her real friends the maid beguile. Then, too, a battle must this maiden wage, With base materialism 0f the age; For all about her have no moral. code That tends to lead to Diligence's road! What matter, if she's captured in a snare? What matter pray? Ah, Nobody will care. True, she will falter, yet she will not fail, For she will listen to Sir Conscience's call; While her mistakes she truly will discern And to the path of Diligence return. Her penitence will then be greatly blest- No more! The actors will portray the rest. ACT I Scene InEvening in the library of Everygirlis home. Everygirl, with Ambition, is stand- ing at left of stage by an open French Window. Diligence and Perseverance, two maidens dressed in white, are standing at center back of stage in the semi-dusk. Everygirl holds her open diploma in the flood of moon- light. EverygirleWith Success, I have followed the course of study, but whither now must I go? Life stretches out before me, but I know not which path my feet should tread, nor what my goal should be. AmbitioneAh, Everygirl, have you no hopes, no desires? Do you not wish to attain Glory? Honor and Fame await you. if you will but know them. Hast never heard of Happiness, a Prince who dwells in a golden castle? Everygirle Tell me about him, Ambition! Is he dark or is he fair? Knows he Sorrow, knows he Care? 74 AmbitioneHe is very fair indeed, but all things dark are strange to him. Would you know him, Everygirl? Everygirl- I fain would know this charming Prince, But do not know the way; I therefore will not meet him, since My plight is as I say. AmbitiontCome, Everygirl, I'll show the way, but Diligence and Perseverance must also come, for not even I, Ambition, can lead you to Happiness without the aid of them. Everygz'rlwI know them both, aye, I know them well, for through them at school, I met Success. AmbitioniThen, will you go? Everygirle Yes, I will go. I cannot wait Until I see the golden gate Of Happiness's castle rise Exultantly to azure skies! Lead on, the hour grows very late. Ambition-Come! tDiligence and Perseverance come forward with locked arms and follow Ambition and Every- girl through the French window, out into the Pathway of LifeJ Curtain. ACT I. Scene IliAt the fork of the Road of Life. Morning. Everygirl sits upon a huge boulder at right and Diligence and Perseverance stand nearer the center. Ambition stands at the fork of the road. Diligencemtpointing up the steep and rocky roadie Oh, Everygirl, waste not your time, But; hasten on your upward climb, To realize ideals of life And be a heroine in the strife. Everyg-irl tsighingleOh dear, I am so weary! tEnter Laziness from rightj Laziness--- 0h, maiden, do I rightly guess Youlre on your way to Happiness? Everygirle That is where I would like to go, But progress there seems very slow. Lazinessi Why a pilgrim of the rough road be That Diligence points out to thee, tFor fast thy weak'ning strength has fledl, When you on easy paths can tread To Happiness? Come, go with me! Diligence;- List not to him, oh, maiden fair! Our road may hard and toilsome be, But truly ends Without a care. He only disillusions thee! His road may first seem bright and gay, But snares await thee ilong the way, For where his pathway terminates Is where Disaster thee awaits. 'Tis wrong for him then to profess That his pathway leads to Happiness. Everygt'rleWhat shall I do? 75 Ambitione Oh, Everygirl, make haste, I pray. Which path you take, I may not say, But Happiness you ought to reach. Lazinesse Come, maiden fair! Light as the air Dance like the breeze Down ways of ease. Let lasting joy Your mind employ, For life With me Will blissful be! Everygz'rleDear Laziness, I follow thee! Voice from right wing WPeace ho! tEnter Sir Conscience With spear in handJ Sir C onsciencee Oh, Everygirl, 0n bended knee, Ilve come to make an ardent plea ,, On this long journey, wilt take me? Everygt'rli Oh, Sir Knight Conscience, brave and strong, You always save me, when in wrong. Come, you shall guard me. Come along! Sir Conscience - Then follow not this stranger herei He'll surely cause you many a tear. A life of toil is crowned with gloryw This truth is told in many a story. Now listen to this inner voice That bids you make the better choice. The Road to Happiness, alone Leads up this hill oler gulch and stone. Laziness tholding out arms to Everyg-irlli Come maiden fair, come Everygirl! tSir Conscience advances towards Laziness with pointed spearq Sir ConscienceHVillain, begone! tLaziness and Conscience go to rear of stage and argueJ tEnter Frivolity, who steps before Everygirl and bows lowJ FrivolityiAh, maiden fair, art seeking Happi- mess? Ererygz'rlelt seems my way is not so hard to guess. Frivolityi And they who fain your guides would be, Have you forsaken on the waye Ah, this appears like tragedy! While searching for the Prince of J 0y, Like Rosalind for father dear, Oh, let me jester be to you And fill your way with mirth and cheer, To keep you true as fair skies blue, I claim to be naught but a fool Compared With your sweet wisdom, Fair, So I shall guard while you shall rule. 'Twill not be long before welre there. Everygirl wWhich path do you tread, Frivolity, and does it truly lead to Happiness? Frivolitye The easy path is ever mine, Illumined by the bright sunshine; For there the lovely flowers bloom Watched oler at night by sillvry moon. 76 There are no weary hills to climb, Nor must we pass through marshy slime, But glide we on to Happiness. Like eagles from a mountain crest, Sail smoothly lcross the azure sky, We will go on, Sweet, you and I. EverygirliAh, Frivolity. your silver tongue calls unto me, and that call I answer. With you I may wander down shady lanes, Where Daffodils nod to and fro and whisper to the vain Lily, Who is ever gazing into the bright reflection of some deep and quiet woodland pool. Ah, Frivolity, if you will truly lead me to Happiness, over such lovely ways that I may tread with ease, yours I shall truly be and in your gay company, I shall find my Prince! Come, sweet companions! Diligence twith her arm about Perseverancel- We go not on the easy road, our way is rough and hard. Everygirle Then fare-thee-well. Frivolity shall be my guide And we together, side by side, Shall reach the throne of Happiness. FrivolitymAh! ha! tExeunt Everygirl, between Ambition and Frivolity. Laziness points after them and mockingly laughs at Conscience, while the Knight LConsciencel holds out his. arms toward Everygirl. Diligence and Perse- verance turn and slowly climb the rough road With bowed heads.J Curtain. ACT II. Prologue. N obodye My friends, a word to you, I pray, A word, and that is all I'll sayi For, if I cause a long delay, You,ll grow impatient for the play. You see, What I did prophesy Has come, for all those glaring lies, That Frivolity cried to the skies, Have blinded fast the maidenls eyes. Now you shall see what is her lot, When she falls Victim to his plot. But how she wipes away the blot, By winning contest, bravely fought. Scene IitOn the Downward Road of Life.

Scene I I - The scene opens in the dusky cave of King Despair. A pale light illumiues the cave, and an atmosphere of weird, coldness prevails. Everygirl lies on the ground at right, sobbing. Everygirloln vain, I call for help! 0h, some- one take me from this dark and dismal place. Oh, what horrors lurk in those ebon shades! Oh, God, I pray Thee, send me help! lEnter Dishonor from dark shadows at center back.3 DishonoroAh, Everygirl, pitiful indeed are your calls. You were on your way to Hap- piness, but none can reach him from here save through the aid of Wealth. To him I'll lead you, if you will trust yourself im- plicitly to me.

T0 Diligence's pleading voice I listened not, and made my choice. But know I now, at first I might Have reached my goal, if on the right Road I had stayed with Diligence, Instead of basely wandering hence. I had my lesson hard to learn- But shall t0 Diligence return; Perhaps she will repentance bless And lead me on to Happiness. But as for you, you I deride, When Hope is standing by my side. Lead you me on, Hope, with your light And then, lfore long, the castle bright Of Happiness shall welcoming rise Before my weary, yearning eyes. tEnter CourageJ Courageh Come, Everygirl, and comrade dear, I know a path which leads from hereof A steep and dangerous mountain pass To Diligence will take you fast. lTis hard to climb and rises. high And disappears in yonder sky. It meets a road which, you may guess, Leads to the seat of Happinese. AmbitioneCome, we must on! tExeunt all but Despair, who wraps his cloak about himself and goes back among the rocksj Curtain. ACT III. Prologue. N obodye Recall, within this last presented act, To you has been disclosed a proven fact; That, if one gives himself to ways not right, They cast a shadow on his life, and blight The happiness that might have reigned therein If she had fallen not for Follyts sin; For Folly ever sings the fickle song That what is graced with ease can not be wrong. And this her sin: sheill violation cause Of Diligencels strict and rigid laws. Thus has it been with Everygirl, the maid, Who from the toiling roads of labor strayed And sought to realize her high ideals By wandlring aimlessly through Leisurels fields. But woe to her, the fields became a strait tme which she could not flee, for 'twas too latell That lead her to a cave which shadows cast Upon her gaysome life for conduct past. Neglect of labor hard, for idle play Will everyone thus at some time repay! But Everygirl, at heart both good and true 81 Would not surrender moral mles she knew. But, with a character so pure and strong, She battled with and overcame her wrong. Ideals high can not be set aside- For easier is each and all defied That falsely promise happiness and ease To him who will and does not strive for these. So Everygirl has conquered troubles all And bravely answered Diligence's call. Nobody would have cared for failures she had. But she has won, and Nobody is glad. tExitl. ACT III.
