When he was little, he used to call himself booful sing. He has the most in- nocent facc of any boy in schoolg he even beats Chauncey Bryant. Whenever Walt commits any crime, it's usually blamed to someone else. Walt isn't as dumb as he looksg he can see thru his glasses, even if he can't see thru a joke sometimes. He used to be pretty bashful, but since he has been going with that Andrews girl, he has changed considerably. He has geen stepping out quite a bit late- ly. His mother used to be able to keep track of him- but she can't any more. Whereas he used to read such books as The Outline of History , he is now reading such books as The Philosophy of Love. Personally he favors the cave man method of winning a womang he believes in literally carrying her off her feet. He admits that he became popular overnight by learning how to dance. We know for a fact that Walt bought Lois some cigarettes in Washingtong he says he can't see why women haven't as much right to smoke as men like him- self. Instead of taking a valise to Washington, Walt took a wardrobe trunk, he regretted it more than once, before he arrived home. 'Walt's life would be fairly hap- py if it were not for Jimmie O'Donnell. Walt certainly has shown superhuman self-control in resisting the temp- tation to murder Jimmie which he must have had more than once. One day Jimmie wrote a note to a certain girl ,asking her to go to the movies that night, and signed Walt's name to it. Walt was never more surpris- ed in his life than when he received a note from the girl expressing her regrets for not being able to go. Walt works in Balduf, Barrows, and Davidson's Shoe Store, and plays the shoe horn in spare moments. ill!!! LOIS ANDREWS Terrible religious: often stays indoors on Sunday mornings to listen in on radio sermons. Lois is some automobile driver, it is her greatest ambition to dis- prove the theory that an automobile cannot fly. Thus far, she has two warnings, three dogs, five chickens, and one cow to her credit. One night her father, waked out of a sound sleep, heard Lois exclaim: Look out Walt! You'll break my glasses! She got this way after at- tending the Gayety in Washingtong she went every night. Before the trip, Lois was such an innocent girl, that her parents wouldn't believe the rumor that she had smoked while in Washington, which was lucky for Lois. IIIllIIIllIIllIIllIIllIllllIlllllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIllllilllllllllllllllllll IOLA BAKER Brethren, let us pray. Here is a girl so wild that when she went on the Washington trip, her sister went along, too-to chaperone her. Her sister performed her task well, keeping Iola in her room every night. Every morning Iola would appear with tear-stained cheeks: it was pretty tough not to be able to go to the Gayety or do anything like that. Iola went to hear Dr. Dow when he was hereg she is thinking seriously now of giving up dancing. Iola is crazy about candy-kisses, especially. She has a fondness for fruit, too-dates, for instance. The members of her family are doing everything in their power to calm Iola down-and seem to be succeeding. It's rather hard on the poor girl-but then-we suppose her parents know best. l ll Ill lk t JULIA BOYER Her full name is Julia Ethel Agnes Augusta Vic- toria Mason Norris Boyer. Julia is so tall that there is snow on her head. She is known as the Sheba of our school, her power over men is fatal. If she ever writes her memoirs, the book will sell better than The Sheik. She seems to have friends in every town in the Postal Guide. For the life of us we don't know which one she is favoring now, the Lyndonville one, the Le Roy one, the 'Wellsville one, or the Oakland, Cal., one. Her tactics are similar to those of Nita Naldi-crafty, etc.g can't you just see Julia tickling a man's chin with one of those great long fingers of hers? We can. On the Washing- ton trip her victims were an unknown Lyndonville fel- low, a Le Roy fellow named Panepenta, V-and a Warsaw fellow named Marchant. Marchant was the most persist- ent of the three-and apparently won out. All the girls are beseeching Julia to tell them how she wields this fatal powerg she claims she was born with that know- ledge-and does not know herself how she does it. Going into Silver Springs this sign greets the traveler: Go slow, brother-or you'll be another. It's a warn- ing about Julia-she lives there. When the girls' basket ball team went to Le Roy? Julia was one of the squad. The sight of Julia scared the Le Roy girls so, that they forgot how to play-and Warsaw won, 41 to 10. Goewey showed himself a student of phsychology that night, all right, Julia is an assidious reader of books by Elinor Glyn and Ethel M. Dell. She is forever reading them under her desk. The teachers have all they can do to keep Julia's mind on her work-she is continually look- ing out of the window and dreaming of Le Roy, or Lyn- donville, or Wellsville, or Oakland, California. Julie, 1924 T H E B L A S T Page Seventeen LOUISE BRISTOL Fondly called Wee by the familyg not so long ago, they used to call her Wee-Wee -a terrible affliction. Louise used to be the terror of the neighborhood, but she tsn't any moreg she stlll raises Cain-in a quieter way, however. 'When accused of something by a teacher she can look even more blank than Buster Keaton: almost invariably someone else is sent to the office instead of Louise, O, the fallacy of circumstantial evidenceg alto- gether too many teachers convict on it! Last fall Louise was to be seen driving McBain's Buick nearly every day. Yet in all the times we saw Louise driving the car, we never once saw her father riding with herg can it be that he has not taken out life insurance yet? While on the Washington trip,Louise and Ruth Embury went down to Sweetbriar College for a couple of days to visit Lou- ise's sisterg their train didn't leave until after midnight, Seth and Clayt saw them down to the station safely. That night a scandal was started in the hotel by one of the house detectives. He learned that two boys and two girls had left the hotel about midnight, and that the boys returned half-an-hour later-alone. Imagine the girls' surprise, on their return, to learn of this! Louise was heard to utter something in French about the ignor- ance of hotel detectives. On the train going down Louise led the singing, which gave the Warsaw bunch the reputation of being the liveliest bunch on the train. They say that Louise got away from the Harrington with two bath towelsg she should have taken only one. Every other morning-or was it every morning?-while she was gone, she received a. special delivery letter from Nor. Of course, you know that she and Nor. Hain go to- gether. Perhaps you also know that Louise is quite an artist at repartee. One day Elsie said: Why doesn't Nor. take you to the movies any more? Louise replied: Well, you see, one night it rained, and we stayed in the parlor. Another time Nor said to her, May I osculate -? Louise came back with No, but you may ask me early, if you want to. 'Such is Louise's pedigree. t O U 1 I l MARGARET CALMES Noted for her talkativeness, She even talks in her sleep. She has always been a disturbing element, not only in Study Hall-but in classes, also. She could talk the ears off a cornstalk. Despite this one great fault of hers she is a pretty good sport. One time, when Marg was sick she walled a certain felloW's name con- tlnuallyg we've forgotten what it was Marg had-but it was either measles or mumps. When Marg had her ton- slls out, she was afraid that under the influence of the ether she would rave about this fellow again: so she told her mother, if she did to tell the nurse that she was rav- ing about their tom cat, Marg has quite a lineg she ropes in a good many of them. She roped in Ping on the Washington trip. For a little while, it looked serious- but everything turned out all right in the end, Ping was pretty fast for Marg, she said that she couldn't stand the pace. One night after a date with Marg, Ping con- fided to Walt Ahner, his room-mate, Gee, you should have heard the line I handed Marg tonight. She swal- lowed every bit of it. While across the areaway, Marg was confiding to her room-mate, Lucy Tuttle, Gosh, you should have heard the line Ping handed me tonight. I wonder if he expected me to swallow it.' ' Jimmie 0'Don- nell beat Ping out one night for a date with Marg. He took her to a movie. Marg felt like a nursemald when the ticket seller asked Jimmie how old he was as he put down the money for two full-price tickets. Marg went to the Senior Ball with Cal Pickle. Everyone is asking her now what kind of a Pickle Cal is-sweet or sour. She says that she doesn't know: she didn't take a bite. lllllill CHARLOTTE CAMPBELL She's small-just like her Virgil marks. 'When Lot- tle's sister Marge was graduated a couple of years ago, Lottie felt called upon to sustain the Campbell reputa- tiong she has done it admirably-having the time of her life, and yet managing to get thru safely. Time was when Lottie's young and innocent face was attractive to Batavia's youths. We remember when everything was Dick g once in awhile, she spoke of Harry, Then she began to feel a greater respect for home products. For a little while it was Ken , and then Bill -and Bill it continues to remain. They stick together like sheets of fly paper. When Lottie went on the Washing- ton trip, Monk Shapiro appointed himself her guide and protector. Lottie said he treated her like a sisterg he even went so far as to give her a slave bracelet, which set him back fifty-eight cents at Rosenbloom's Pawn Shop. Lottie and Mu-mu Rice went up to Lawrence- ville one day while away-to visit Ken: Mu-mu Went crazy over the yellow raincoats she saw there, and was put under observation in the Psychological Ward of the local hospital for the afternoon. Lottie was walking a- long a street one day in Washington when she suddenly went up to a fellow and said to him, Can you tell me where Charlotte Campbell's monument is'?' ' He looked puzzled for a moment and then said, No, I'm afraid not. I'm a stranger here myself. Lottie's favorite trick in the Harrington was dousing water on people leaning out of windows on floors below. Lottie was the leader of the Glee Club from the College of Hardnox, when they offered selections between acts of the Senior Play, She also distinguished herself in the Class Fight, making en- emies of some of her best Junior friends for the sake of the Senior flag. The other day someone asked Lot- tie if she liked Bill any better than she used to: she re- plied, I couldn't. Gee! Ain't love grand? I ll It 1 1 l MARY COLEMAN The girl of a hundred romances. Her diary is a dead Page Eighteen T H E B L A S T June, 1924 give-away of a hundred fellows. Mary's life has been very interesting to date-and rather picturesque. Mary says it makes her feel old to think of all the affairs she has had-all the fellows she has ever known-all the different lines she has heard. We haven't space or time to mention all of Mary's romances-but we can mention a few. Last Summer Mary went to Detroitg she' got acquainted with a fellow there-who liked her so well he wanted his parents to see herg quite an old-fashioned boy-quite an old-fashioned boy. Then there was a time when Ken Fluker used to manage to get over from Perry nearly every Sunday nightg for quite awhile Mary wore a Perry ring-and in answer to some inquiries of her mother was obliged to admit that she didn't know where her class pin was. Still more recently, Norman Cogswell-Attica's famous athlete-used to park his car in Coleman's yard every Friday night. Mary used to get letters written on monogramed stationery which were postmarked Attica, on the average of three times a week. Then, a Batavia fellow appeared on the scene, but he wearied Mary-he was so deep-minded, One evening they went for a ride and all he ever talked of was evo- lution , Mary says he exhausted the subject, all right. On the Washington trip she became acquainted with a fellow named, Carr Holden-who, like the proverbial little lamb-followed Mary everywhere. He seemed to be with her always. In Atlantic City, they went to see Three Weeks together: we don't know whether they went to the Gayety in Washington or not, but we pre- sume they did. The other day we asked Mary if she had fallen for any fellow yet. She said: No-I've just stum- bled-so far . I 1 il U I! RUTH EMBURY The girl with a complexion like an infant-and an- other of these human phenomena whose photographs al- At times she has a regular Ma- times she is wondering what she ways turn out great. donna faceg at such will be eatingvat the next meal, or else she is thinking Clayt. When Charley, known to of either Charley or local society as Shiek Zehler, went to Alfred last fall, Clayt used to be one who would ring Embury's front door-bell about seven-thirty every Sunday evening. Now Charley is back-and Clayt has overwhelming opposi- tion again: Clayt is now trying to locate some other girl whose father smokes twenty-five cent cigars. Every so often Ruth disappears for a week-end, and we learn from t.he town paper on the following Thursday that she has spent it at Hamilton College. She hied thither every little while in the last year or so to attend proms or house-parties, but has not returned with any scalps hanging from her belt-or any picture in her locket be- sides Charley's. Ruth insists on using lip-stick, althg Charley repeatedly tells her that it is awfully poor taste. Her father manufactures lanterns, which Ruth can out- Shine any old time. BELLE EVANS She is the Belle of the Evans family in more ways last fall she came to school wear- than one. One day ing a diamond ring, which made all the girls sigh with envy-To think that meek little Belle should be the first of the girls in the Senior class to win a man's heart! It was a great surprise to nearly everyoneg Belle had been having a little romance in her own quiet way-and was just as thrilled about it as any flapper or cling- ing vine would be. A certain couple sitting on the porch of a house quite near Evans' about one o'clock one Monday morning of last summer received the shock of their young lives to see a car stop in front of Evans' and to see Belle and a fellow get out and caper all over the lawn, before proceeding indoors. The hour was so late that it was naturally to be concluded that they had- n't been at prayer meeting all the evening. It was later learned that the fellow's name was Bert Baylor-and that he was a minister. Last fall and winter Bert visit- ed school on the average of once a week-until finally Prof. told him that he couldn't issue any more yellow slips to him-he had issued so many, already. Bert must have been broken-hearted-and Belle too-at this infor- mation. For whenever he visited school he always used to sit with Belle-and not in the next seat, or something like that. One morning when Bert was there, we sang, Love's Old Sweet Song, for chapel exercises. We couldn't help wondering if they were holding hands un- der the desk-for they seemed totally oblivious of all save each other. At Christmas time, the Virgil class gave Belle a flatirong she can press Bert's trousers when all is peaceful in their little love nest-and use it as a weapon in case Bert starts twitting her about her rela- tives. Belle's school days will soon be over-and with them Belle's spinisterhood. They are to be married as soon as Bert gets the parsonagel papered and paintedg in other words in the near future, iiill,l MARGARET FISHER Quiet-but oh my! You'd be. surprised! It certainly is true what Shakespeare said, 'I'here's no art to find the mind's construction in the face. Now to look at Margaret one would think of her as one of these girls who goes to bed early, gets up early, and does little ex- cept studyg in thinking that, one would be erring ser- iously. She doesn't get up so terribly early: one can't do it, after staying up late nightsg and she does a lot be- sides study. After milking the cows, and eating supper, she studies for a few minutes-and then goes up to her room, where, usually until the wee, sma' hours she reads- or writes poetry. Now you w0uldn't think that to look at Margaret, would you? Margaret's some re- lation to the Barlow'sg we don't know which of the families admitted the connection. She has been over to the Lake once or twice, With Roy Fish to dance. The June, 1924 THE B L A S T Page Nineteen Grange thought some of requesting her resignation from that order, when they heard about it-but failed to take action on it, finally. Margaret is thinking some of waiting on table at Epworth Inn this summerg she is of the opinion that if Belle could catch a minister over there she could too. ' 1 1 i l U U HELEN GARDNER Born on a merry-go-round: that's why she is so dizzy. Known in some circles as The Gayety Girl. Has eyes like Constance Talmadge-or is it Norma? Has driven many a man to drink, but none to suicide, as yet.

He is well qualified for three professions: the stage, the law, and posing for Arrow Col- lar ads. The law will probably claim him, if not in one way--then in another. Nor has a voice like John Barry- more. and a stride like the ancient mariner. He is also something of an artist: his latent talent was discovered by his fellow classmates, the night they put up the Senior flag. Nor went in for exterior decoration that night: or perhaps it was display advertising. Anyway, Prof. didn't appreciate it, and he requested the Seniors to undo their work before going to classes. Offended by his lack of appreciation, they spent the day on Garretsee's lawn. Nor is also quite an astronomer, he made the discovery that the Moon isn't made of green cheese, but of cheap iron. At Class Night exercises last year Nor made Bill Starke feel absolutely superfluousg he deserves a medal of some sort, for he is the only person who has ever made Bill feel that way. Louise Bristol is wearing a ring A about five sizes too large for herg rumor has it that the ring is Nor's. O O 1 Q O 4 ALBERT HEMENWAY Here on a visit from Heaven. Those projections on his back aren't shoulder blades: they're wings sprouting. Albert's so good that he would never, never think of skipping school. He'll be a great help to his pa when he grows up, It is said that he once had a date with a girl, the next day his parents took him to a specialist for ob- servation. The specialist found that it was only tem- porary insanity. He was nicknamed Turk because he gobbles his food. Before he went on the Washington trip, Turk thought that Annapolis was the wife of John Paul Jones. In one restaurant in Washington, Turk was the first one in a certain bunch of fellows to be asked for his orderg what menu-well done ! Turk's hotel detectives didn't have with a spotless reputation. that's what Turk is. should he order but: One room was the only room the to watch. Turk came home The exception to the rule- iii VINCENT HIGGINS A good healthy Senior as his opponents in the Class Fight will testify. Vincent used to be as quiet as the night before Christmas, but since the Washington trip, he has changed considerably. He says he has a will of his own when it comes to girls--but that his parents usually add a codicil to it. Vincent offended Harold Kiel terribly in Washington: Harold thought he could trust Vincent as long as life remained-not to go with a girl. But he was disillusioned. Vincent took Leila Snow out -how many times-three or four, or more? If Lyle had gone on the trip, probably Vincent wouldn't have stood such a good chance-but as it was, competition was scarce. On the way down, on the train, Vincent tried to get acquainted with some out-of-town girls-but they thought he was fresh, and wouldn't have a thing to do with him. Now that he is back home, he is afflicted with bashfulness again. He should read the chapter, How To Win a Girl, in The Philosophy of Love. ill lil!!! MARY HOWARD Abnormally tall. She ought to be ashamed of her- self for growing so. Asking her how she did it, we were told that she eats onions every day of her life, does not study hard, and does not let anything worry her. If Mary had been along on the Washington trip we certain- ly would have been put out of the Hotel Harringtong we nearly were, as it was. Mary is afflicted with a great sense of humor which seeks expression continually. Often a teacher in charge of Study Hall wonders what all the girls are laughing atg ninety-eight times out of a hun- dred it is Mary-but she always looks as innocent as a post card view of the Washington Monument. One day not so very long ago, just after she had had her hair shingled, Prof. called her up to the Study Hall desk. Nat- urally, when she returned to her seat, all the girls wanted to know what he had told her. Her face didn't have expression, as she told them: 'Why, you know, me he had noticed my shingle, and he said he so well, that he wanted to know who did lt, so could tell his wife about it- . A general up- the rear of the room indicated that Mary's again been appreciated. It is easily seen that imagination. She always has waterproof alibis having her lessons. Mary says that she is a a bit of he told liked it that he roar in wit had she has for not match for any man: we cannot help but wonder if she ever sparks-. Page Twenty T H E B L A S T June, 1924 ELWIN JOHNSON Elwin has the most demure walk of any boy in War- saw High-and also the smallest feetg they're so small that he can wash them in a teacup. He's another hard- sleeping Senior, The night the Seniors put up their flag, Elwin had a good night's sleep-because, when his a- larm clock went off at 1:30, he failed to wake up. It is commonly known that Mrs. Cowdin has to use cold water to wake Elwin in time for school in the morning. dancing He's quite intelligent, for instance, when he's with a good dancer he talks a. lot so she won't notice how he's dancing-which is the proper thing to do. He as Hot is also pretty good at thrusting magazines such Dog and 'iLove Stories' 'into his desk, whenever Prof. appears in Study Hall. He has a fondness for stories with titles like The Brute. This may explain a few actions or words of his to Doris, He plays on the base- ball team-being a left-handed pitcher. In one game, Elwin picked himself up after sliding into third, glared at the base umpire, and said: A man may be down, but that's no sign he's out. When Elwin goes home, he goes to the poorhouse at Varysburgg you see, his Dad is superintendent. tDon't look for Varysburg on the map: it isn't there.J Time and tide wait for no man , but El- win has waited many an evening for Doris to come down- stairs. 1 t ll ll li lk HAROLD KIEL Won the 1924 Pulitzer Prize for Non-Talkativeness. About the only time he talks in school is when a teacher calls on him. It may interest Harold to know that there are some girls in Warsaw High School who like strong, silent men. There is one, especially. Last period in the afternoon she is in Study Hall and so is Haroldg little does Harold know it, but this girl all year long has spent practically this whole period gazing at his stalwart back, and wishing that he might turn around. We have often wondered why Harold has always shown such a toleration for Jimmie O'Donnellg the secret is now out. Jimmie's sister is the reason. Harold spent one whole afternoon in her company in Philadelphia. But Helen is far away, Harold, in Syracuseg long before this, you should have looked around last period some afternoon -to see what you could see. Harold came home from the Washington trip a wreck-having roomed while a- way with Jimmie O'Donnell and Vince Higgins. At the Penny Arcade in Washington he got a kissing license, but he hasn't dared to use it yet. i 1 l 1 U O LEONA KIEL As dark as the inside of a tunnel. Something Span- isl1 lurks in her eyes and complexion-and disposition. She has that one great characteristic of the Spanish raceg the love of dance and song-and the love of love, Calm you just see Leona with a rose between her teeth, sha- king her castanets, and dancing an old Spanish dance to the accompaniment of the romantic music of guitars? Can't you see her at the end of the dance casting her rose to the fairest man in the crowd, and fleeing up a winding stairway-only halting on the top step to turn and smile encouragement to the dazzled youth below witl1.,her rose crushed to his lips? Ah, yes!-the pict- ure is only too c1ear- Leona does not belong to the new-world atmosphere of a village like Warsaw, No, she ,belongs in some sleepy old Spanish town-where there are no worries, but only romance-and dancing -and song. . l l 1 l D l HAZEL LUTHER One of thise quiet vamps. She's a blonde: has a Djer-Kiss complexion, and a gentle voice. Bill Perkins used to be at Luther's so much that the neighbors be- gan to think that he was boarding there. A year ago this spring, she went some with Ken Wellman-not be- ing as wise then as now. Ed Stearns went with her quite a bit last year too--because he didn't have far to walk after taking her home. Hazel went on the Wash- ington trip to reduce. She lost all her excess weight the morning she walked down the Washington Monument. She felt like Raggedy Ann when she reached the bottom. Jimmie O'Donnel1 felt real sorry for her, and took her to Keith's that night. They had to stand up throughout the show. When Hazel got back to the hotel after- wards, she told Jimmie his bed-time story, and went up to her room-to write a farewell letter to her mother. She thought she was going to die from tired feet. Hazel is now interested in Dr, Cook-not the one who claimed to discover the North Pole-but Dr. Caryl Cook of Cas- tile. He lives half of the time in Castile, and half of the time here-at Luther's. i if ll 1 l 8 CLAYTON MADISON Uses Palmolive Soapg that's how he keeps that school- girl complexion. Clayton has a real delicate blush. One time he walked across chapel with the sign Kiss Me Again on his backg when he discovered the cause of all the hilarity he blushed so furiously that the sun dis- appeared for shame. He believes that Prof. and all the faculty are his sworn enemies. He goes with Ruth Embury because her father smokes twenty-five cent cigars and leaves them around loose. President Coolidge called up the Hotel Harrington and asked for Clayton one night, embarrassing Clayton terribly. When the Wash- ington Police heard that Clayton was in town, they ap- pointed several more special policemen. The house de- tectives of the Harrington reported riotious noises from Clayton's roomy Clayton was trying to show Seth and Monk a little act he had seen at the Gayety. Clayton always has his sisters write his excuses-but that only shows that he is human. Clayt is always cracking the one about the tires on his carg he says they're parachute tires because they're always going down. In short, Junc, 1924 T H E B L A S T Page Twenty-one Clayton looks like Walter Hiers, plays ball like Babe Ruth, and acts like Satan. His ambition is to be a grave- digger. t I O It ll U HAROLD MARCHANT Born and raised in Rock Gleng he though. He's another one of these quiet water runs deep. If his mother could him in Washington! Harold simply while there. He kept the hotel detectives guessing-and not only that, he even had Miss Moore worried. It cer- tainly is nerve-racking when a boy one thought immune from wine, women and song, changes overnight to a caveman. We don't know where they went, but three nights while we were in Washington, Harold and Julia Boyer disappeared, returning around one o'clock the next morning. Turk wondered where all the taxi fare receipts he found in his room came from: now he knows. Harold didn't like the Gayety very well: he said it wasn't peppy enough to suit him. 'We guess his parents must have heard something about all thlsg Harold hasn't been seen out at night since he got home. Tough luck, Har- old--but maybe it was worth it. C Q ll l O l doesn't look it boys: but still only have seen wasn't himself MARY McGEE Jever notice those dark circles under Mary's eyes? She gets them from staying up so late nights-writing letters. They say his name is Hank Granger, We are beginning to wonder just how many Mary has, any- way. Before our train ever reached Washington, on the Washington trip, he was acquainted with some out-of- town fellowsg she and Mary Coleman. A Lyndonville fellow by the name of Julius Kravtz took quite a liking to Mary. One night after a show they went for a taxi rldeg Mary reported a good time afterwards-but said that Julius made her nervous, what with continually watching the meter. Mary seldom got in before mid- night while she was gone: how some of these children do change, once they get away from home! Trying to find strange behavior on the trip, we past a little. We find that Mary some reason for her have looked into her hasn't been at all the kind of girl we thought her to be: she has been deceiving us right quite unintentionally along. Before she ever went on the trip she showed symptoms of flapperitis. To be specific, one day Mary Coleman and she went riding with two fellows in a Ford sedan, and came back home with two other fel- lows, in a Ford touring car. Mary pulled a good one on Julius in Washington. He wanted to take her in a certain restaurant one day-and used as his argument, It's a. daisy! She told him, Well, if that's a daisy, show me a sunflower! l 1 li U U ll LYLE MILLER He combs his hair like a musiciang that is, he does- n't comb lt at all. He writes with his left hand, and de- fies anyone to read his writing. Miss Ward has to put on her glasses every time she tries to read anything Lyle has writteng the extreme concentration necessary for interpretation would give her a headache if she did- n't, Lyle's family see very little of himg he leaves for school right after breakfast in the morning, and is not seen again until eight o'clock or later at night, when he shows up for his supper. He seldom studiesg he can us- ually find something more interesting to do. With Lyle, studying isn't a duty: it's a privilege. He annoys the teachers terribly by muttering instead of whispering. One morning during chapel exercises, Miss McNamara, ever quick to note discordant sounds, decided that the piano was out of tune: she didn't learn 'till later that it was Lyle singing for a change. Lyle has quite a crush on Leila Snow, it isn't a lemon-crush, either. But Lyle is too bashful altogether! He should remember that faint heart ne'er won fair lady. Leila was the first girl with whom Lyle ever dancedg he'll never forget that dance. He says that she has more courage than most girls. We are glad to report that Lyle didn't lose his shirt in the class fight this year-as he did last year. l I l I l I JAMES FRANCIS O'DONNELL The prodigy of our class. Altho he's only fourteen, he has sideburnsg but his mother won't let him start shaving-much to his disgust. You could tell that he is Irish without looking twice. 'Whenever time lies heavy on his hand, he reads a passage or three from Webster's Dictionary, The weight on his mind has kept him from growing, he is almost as broad as he is long. In a certain restaurant in Washington Jimmie ordered ice cream for dessert: the negro waiter leaned over and whispered in Jimmie's ear, Yo' bettah not eat dat, suh! You'll get fattah dan yo' ah now! In the Hotel Har- rington Jimmie's pet trick was to wake everyone at six o'clock every morning, to tell that he was going back to sleep again. Jimmie wasn't going to let Vince Higgins show him up-so he got dates while he was gone, too. Margaret Calmes, Hazel Luther and Helen Gardner were the girls he selectedg they ought to have felt flattered -and probably did. Miss Moore and his sister had an awful time keeping track of him. Miss Moore didn't sleep a wink one night, after she heard that Jimmie had taken Helen Gardner to the Gayety, and had had his arm around her all during the show. Jimmie is the bane of Walt Ahner's existence. Walt can no sooner turn his back than Jimmie thumps itg he says he is planning to become a chiropractor, and is only practicing on Walt. For awhile, Jimmie had a mania for writing in Walt's books, then he had a mania for writing love notes to girls-and signing other fellow's names. Chief among his victims was 'Waltg others of his victims were Don Kee- ney, Eddie Thomson, Jimmie Reid, and Ping Richard- son.

'Tis hard to believe but it must be true because here we are on a train speeding south at about sixty miles per hour. The gang's all here, including Posey. I got up this morning at four, and it was raining terrible. I felt dark myself till the family shelled out fifty bucks. At seven, carrying a bag that weighed a ton, a lunch box that weighed two tons and a lot of parting advice, I sloppily waded by way to the station. Arriving I found nearly all the Seniors thereg but grief seemed apparent. Inquiring I found that Teet Madison and 'Chilblain O'Donnell were missing. Just as the train pulled in, a. taxi drew up to the station, and alighting, attired in a new top coat that rivaled 0bie's neckties for colour, came Te,et. Rushing up I inquired if he had seen Red . Without replying, he pulled him out from under his coat tail where Red had taken re- fuge from the storm. We reached the junction in no time, 'and found we had to wait an hour. We amused ourselves by taking pictures, none of which turned out good, which is too bad for several reasons. After awhile, the Black Diamond Express, bound for New York, came tearing down the track. Just before she reached the sta- tion, a flash of light was seen beneath the engine. With what seemed incredible speed, she stopped. I was won- cracked wise forward and dering what was the matter, but quickly when an authoritative acting guy rushed inquired which one of us put the torpedo on the track. No one moved. He talked loudly for several minute-sg telling how the train would not arrive on schedule, etc. He received no satisfaction from us, but you know it is rather funny that Monk Shapiro and Dog Thomson were absent during all this. Our train soon came along, and we were all put in the same car. It's too long to tell how the day passed, but we had some time-nearly wrecking the train. If I had time I would write about many things, including Julia Ethel May's conquests, and Ken Wel1man's female from Waverly. About five o'clock, Monk felt hungry and went into the dining car. Leaving, he tipped the waiter FIFTY CENTS! Whether he thought is was a nickle or recognized in the coon some long lost relative, we will never know, as Stew is silent on the subject. About eight we pulled into Philadelphia. Here an enormous group got on the cars. At eleven, we arrived at Washington. Gosh, it gave us a thrill to look down Pennsylvania Avenue at the Capitol. It was all lighted up. We got in busses here, and headed for the hotel. We were quickly assigned our rooms and the whole Warsaw bunch are placed so that We can look out on a court. We ought to have some fun this way. It is now 12:15 and Monk, Seth, Glad Smith and Iola Baker are leaning out of their various windows and are singing. They're singing, Who'll tuck me in tonight, since I'm so far from home? I noticed a fellow wandering around the halls. 'Wonder who he is? Saturday Got up just in time to join the party this morning. It was a terrible nightg noise all the tim. Cat Schnei- der led the riot among the girls while Jimmie Reid kept the fellows in motion. This continued till about four, when for some reason the bunch quieted down. The first place we visited, was the Old Markets. These are public markets and are composed of stalls, one after an- other, all under the same roof. Dog licked his chops all the way thru the place. They also sell flowers and baked good here. The flowers interested me most, I saw a lot of funeral wreaths and I thought of sending one to our Physical Director, but changed my mind when I learned the price of one. It was too much money to waste. From here we went to the dock where we board- ed the boat for Mt. Vernon. We all certainly enjoyed the ride up the Potomac, altho the wind blew unmerci- fully. At. Mt. Vernon we had our picture taken. We went thru the house and other buildings. Mary Coleman and Mary McGee have two Romeos and won't let them out of their sight. Wonder where they picked them up? Finally we came to a building labelled Smoke house . Monk said that Martha Washington must have been pretty strict to make George come way out here to smoke. It took Seth Wright half an hour to convice Monk that the building was once used for the curing of meat and not for soothing one's nerves. At noon we ate at a little lunch room near the grounds. Several of the fellows ordered a big meal and then left without paying for it. How they manage to get away with such things, I don't know. I can't. Seven of us had to wait for our order from 12:15 till 2:40. We were ready to chew raw meat by the time it came. There was a woman at a near table smoking. She didn't seem to mind our staring at her. One of the fellows took a picture of her. We stayed at Mt. Vernon till three o'clock when we boarded a trolley for Alexandria. Here we went thru the church Washington attended and also the Masonic Lodge of which he was a member. The last place we visited was Arlington Cemetery. We lost Ping here but June, 1924 T H E B L A S T Page Twenty-five after searching for awhile, found him carving his name on one of the pillars of the Hall of Fame, 'We finally dragged him away and Ken Wellman told Ping that the only place he should carve his name is in an orchard. Ask Ping why. Went back to the hotel and to bed. Monk came into our room just now. He has on a pair of lavender pajamas. They don't fit, especially around the waist. He says that the pawn ticket said they were size 36 but they look like 46's to me. I went back to his room with him. I know now how Clayt keeps that in- fantile complexion. He was standing in front of the mir- ror rubbing cucumber cream into his skin. He acted awful crabby when I kidded him and I told him he should use lemon juice as it would agree with his temper better. I almost forgot something. James Francis O'Donnell, aged fifteen, took a certain girl to the movies tonight and tia said he put his arm around her. How true it is, I know not, but I mean to ask Hud about it, Sunday Walt and Ping woke me up this morning. They were having their daily morning fight. Intended to go to church, but hung around so long in the street waiting for the president to go by that I lost my chance. Well, I saw Coolidge, anyaway. In the afternoon we Went to the zoo. When we came to the monkeys, we grew home- sick as it reminded us so much of Junior Study Hall. We left at three for the Franciscan Monastery. After view- ing the cathedral, we descended stairs that led into the reproductions of the Catacombs. This trip did Mary McGee a' lot of good as she bought a prayer book when she left. After a most instructive day, we came back to the hotel where we rested up. At seven o'clock, we went to the Congressional library where we stood with open mouths admiring the gold ceiling. Just found out tonight why that guy is wandering around the halls at night. He is the house de- tective and he has been taking notes on everything we have been doing and today he presented the list to Miss Moore. Monday Thomson woke us up this morning by shooting off a blank cartridge gun, It certainly created a sensation thru the hotel. Went up the Washington monument. Clayt helped Mew Rice up all the way. He said it was great for reducing but whether he meant climbing the stairs or helping Mew up, I don't know. Went up on the 'White House lawn in the afternoon. Kids were having their annual egg rolling contests. Louise Bristol and Albert Hemenway entered in some of them and Weewee won a prize but she won't tell what it is. A funny thing happened this noon. Seth, Clayt and Monk' went into a swell restaurant. They sat down at a table and a waiter came over looking curiously at Monk. He called Seth aside and said that he was sorry but the management didn't cater to negroes.

Into the dreary darkness plunged that gallant crew of Seniors. What cared they for the cold and the ear- liness of the hour? They had set out to accomplish a task and accomplish it they would. Up past Joe Moore's ice pond they tramped and on into the forest beyond to where the mighty pole lay ready to be borne on stalwart shoulders. Then back marched the Seniors all the time planning the downfall of the Juniors. On the beautiful surface of the School lawn they finally halted and placed the pole on the ground. fCer- tainly someone's wagon wheels will speak in the days to come for the town's supply of axle grease soon adorned the pole.l Into the yawning hole that Clayton had man- fully fashioned, the Seniors lowered the pole. Far up among the leaves of the neighboring trees the red and white unfolded to the breeze. Then from somewhere a bag of lime appeared and lest someone should be in doubt as to who had done the great work, they inscribed a marvelous 2-1 on every corner of the sacred build- ing, Hours of waiting now followed and well may the surrounding neighborhood testify that those gallant Seniors never relaxed their guard. Finally came the hour of school opening and the opening of classes. The classes assembled and as the roll was called many vacant seats were found. Why? My curious friend, that is a secret everyone knows. Did- n't you hear of the conference between our noble Pres- ident and the Monarch of the school Didn't you hear how his Majesty protested against the shameful decor- ation of the beloved building? Didn't you see the Seniors assembled out on the lawn across the street? Well, then you missed something. At last the long day passed with skirmishes of some little importance in which the girls battled desperately, to the rulnation of dress, complexion and-and-etc. The most notable one and the one best remembered was a contest between Ruth Embury and True Wilson. Every one conceded it to be the best of the day. Some of the linemen working on a nearby pole enjoyed the fight bet- ter than others, since they had ringside seats. Another important engagement occurred in the afternoon be- tween Monk Shapiro and Glad Brownell, and although Monk struggled desperately, he was finally vanquished. At last came the dismissal of school and with it the rush of the Freshman and Sophomore urged on by the Juniors. Then indeed the fight became desperate. Then it was that the mighty Hemenway hurled himself into the fray. Oh! Everett, 'tis well that you were not there, or he might have conquered you, Then it was that James O'Donnell struck down his foes. If he were an old time gunman his gun would carry many notches. Then it was that each Sophomore and Freshman bounded away from the gallant Higigns. 'Woe to those who came within his reach. Then it was that Chief Parkhouse wielded his tomahawk against our noble President. tBy the way ,Juniors, where did you get all the axes that were lost?J Then it was that men lost their shirts and the girls their hair. At last they withdrew, apparently vanquished. The Seniors were thinking they had won the fight pretty eas- ily, when five or six suddenly appeared in a nearby tree. Heading the list of these was Maurice Gardner, a gallant Sophomore. Torches were applied to the flag and fell to the ground harmlessly. At this time Mr. Ted Slater dis- tinguished himself by throwing an oil-soaked lighted bag into the crowd. Finally the time limit was reached, and the flag was triumphantly lowered amidst much rejoicing. Then, through the streets paraded the victorious Seniors. Through the streets of the town they passed shouting cries of Victory. As each battle-scarred veteran passed, the onlookers must needs remember some scene in which that one held the stage. There was Thomson. who climbed all over everything. There was Charlotte Camp- bell who disfigured Muriel and fought a breathless draw with Kay McGuire. Then the noted Ruth Embury, the heroine of a fight earlier in the day and conqueror of Evelyn Waite. Next the noted Karl Weber. Ah! Most innocent Juniors, I fear they were forced to blush when he told each one their place. There, too, was Kendrick Richardson who vanquished all who met him, the was in his stocking feet.J Others of that famous battle also passed through the streetsg there was the wild twins of Siam, Louise Bristol and Elsie Schneider, who were in so many fights that no one can be attributed to them. Oh! What a valiant crew when one sees them collectively. No wonder the rest of the school fell before their on- slaught. Then came shrieks and wails after the chants of victory. But it was only the nursemaids of the Juniors enforcing their authority, and so the onlookers turned to others. Oh! Eugene Rissinger, where did you get those brown cheeks. We'll tell if you don't. And as they departed for home they told of the funny things they saw.

Marion Ward, the famous Batavian director, with the aid of an all but flawless company of actors succeeded, despite the Volstead Act, in intoxicating a record break- ing audience. It was just the sort of a play to drive away dull care and put laughter in the hearts of the spectators. Thrills, romance, humor were the outstand- ing features. The play centered about the theme that it is an im- possibility to tell the absolute truth all the time. The entire action took place during a period of twenty-four hours, Robert Bennett fplayed by Robert McGeel made a wager with two of his partners that for twenty-four hours he could tell the truth. F'or a whole day Bob told the truth but not without serious complications. He gain- ed the enmity of his friends, lost business prospects, and very nearly lost his sweetheart. By the time the last curtain fell, Bob had surely proved to us that the truth ls sometimes painful. But as ever, alls well that ends well. Louise Bristol and Stuart Shapiro played the roles of Mother and Father to Gwen, Bob's sweetheart. Louise entered with her lorgnette and from the time of her en- trance until her last exhibit, she held her audience with lege of Hard Knocks. This band was formed in 1934 her excellent interpretation of her part. As for Stuart, he was right there with the goods.

Louise and Stew sure gave a fine performance of happy tho' married. Oh! do you remember that Monster, Wretch ? Leila Snow as Gwen made a charming and irresist- ible heroine. Bob playing opposite her showed a great deal of earnestness and feeling. They found the way of love somewhat rocky but not for long. Some things have a lasting effect, How about it Bob and Leila? Seth Wright as Dick Donnelly and Ralph Payne as Clarence Van Dusen, certainly contributed their share to making the play a success. They kept Bob stepping every minute. Gladys Smith as Ethel Clark had to do a little character acting and maybe she didn't put it a- cross. Leave it to Glad. What's this we hear about an operatic career? Maybelle MacFadden and Doris Fisher gave a dash of red to the play. Here, Teeter Madison was given his first opportunity for proving his talent. The performance was a certain criterion that Clayton will sometime look out at us from the screen as a Mack Sennett bathing beauty. Between the first and second acts an unusual pleas- ure was afforded all muslc lovers who heard the music rendered by the Glee Club and Orchestra from the Col- and named after the Hollywood villa of Jack Dempsey. The orchestra's charming personality won their audi- ence immediately. While we could not translate their foreign songs, their interpretation was such that we got the meaning of the words. Another bright spot between acts was a mock wed- ding. It is understood that Bert and Belle will adopt 4Continued on page 423 Page Twenty-eight T H E B L A S T June, 1924 i FACULTY GRI DS 'IIlllllllllIllllllllIIllllllllllIllIllIIllIIllIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIllIIllllil'llll lllllllllIlllllllIlllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllhlllllllllllllllIlllIIIllIIllIllllllllllllIlllllllIlllllllllllllllIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllIIIIIllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllh ' Sayfhave you heard the latest about Prof? Well, they say that he pulled a regular circus in the office the other day. Somebody brought a baby alligator to school, a cute little fellow direct from Florida. oi course a gator is quite a curiosity in this part of the country, and so he was brought into the office for Mr. Preston to give him the once-over. Uno what a brave, bold man Mr. Preston is, don't you? He got just as far away from that little alligator as he possibly could, and they could- n't get the little chap out of the office any too soon to please him. Gee, it was good!! By the way, did you ever catch Prof. when he intro- duces one of the regular Wednesday morning speakers? For the past three Wednesdays we have had,- etc. Then he moves everything on the desk perhaps a dist- ance of one-eighth of an' inch. His method of introducing speakers has proved a growing interesti to the students, n'est-ce pas? ' Rumor has it that Mr. Preston, under the impression that he was getting too fleshy, started in to do Walter Camp's Daily Dozen to reduce, but gave it up, after two days, because it was too much work. Evidently he pre- fers to be happy and fat. Miss Moore, our noble preceptress, sure is a corker when it comes to discipline. Why, if a person should so much as wink an eye during her study period she would freeze him with just one look. Lately she has acquired the little habit of taking names while the last bell is ringing. She says she does it to maintain order but sh-h-, we'll tell you a secret! Did you ever notice that every time she does that little stunt fthat is MOST ev- ery timel it happens to be her night for study-hall? What a coincidence you'll say-The truth is that she hates to be alone in her misery, and so she keeps a. cer- tain few to keep her company. Oh, we're onto your tricks, Miss Moore. You can't fool us! How's your new Essex running? Have you killed any chickens yet? Foolish question No, 999,999. Of course she had. Oh boy, doesn't she carry herself like the Queen of England, every time she is out driving, tho? You'd think she was in a Rolls-Royce! But then, too, who knows-she MIGHT be related to Queen Mary -but it's a question in our minds. Oh Mr. Hurry!! To think that you would ever dis- grace the name of old Warsaw High School by being ar- rested, and that the offender should be you-of all peo- ple! Rumor has it that that Moon of yours has been traveling at a pretty good pace of late, in fact, too fast to suit our noble officers of the law! Whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap! Well, the village gained by little act of yours, Obie. Your ten dollars sure will come in handy to buy Dick a new tire for his motorcycle, or some thing. We understand that you were seriously ill, and were thereby prevented from showing up at the police court on the appointed day. Was this the first time that a cop ever was obliged to come up to school and get you? Take heed Mr. Hurry, we're going to give you some advice for your own good. Don't speed any more, for, you see, the village simply will NOT tolerate such fast people. Next, Please-Umm-Harold Anderson, he of the long lean and lank proportions, He reminds us of a regular, honest-to-goodness Sheik, because you see, he's all of the ladies fall for so different! He thinks that him like a ton of bricks-but oh, what a mistake! We but it isn't your charms hate to disillusion you, Andy, that attract the fair sex sow-it's can't you imagine? Well, itfs your nifty little Ford coupe. Did anybody ever happen to notice, for example, how much Miss Rogers enjoys riding in it? Why, they're together morning, noon and nite! Oh, it's a great life, if you don't weaken! Did you notice how red Andy's ears got that memor- able Wednesday morning when the speaker from Me- chanic's Institute praised him up? 'We're glad that he had the grace to blush, anyway. Some people are too hardened even to do that, so maybe there's hope for him. The news was received via radio a few nites ago, that W, Irving Goewey, Jr., had disposed of his old Dort and acquired a new one. Gee! It must be that he did it in anticipation of that salary increase he expects next year! Is that true, Irv? Well, that increase is a nice thing to look forward to, we'll admit. Think of all the bull-dogs and things that it will buy! But say, speak- ing of hull-dogs why don't you get an entirely different brand of dog next year? That pup of yours is very- oli, exclusive, we hearg that is, he belongs to the aris- tocracy and for that reason he simply will not let any- body make friends with him. Therefore, why not get a more democratic dog, next time you invest? Oh, don't bother to thank us. It was no trouble at all, we assure you. Say, folks, maybe you didn't know it, but Mr. Goewey has an awful temper. Beware of him, everybody! The time when that Irish temper of his asserts itself most is June, 1924 T H E B L A S T Page Twenty-nine usually at a base ball game, or other exhibition of ath- letic skill. Just ask the fellows who play, if you want any further particulars on this subject. He is such an ardent devotee of the school that it makes him nervous when our opponents are ahead. Well, he has to have a safety-valve some way, or he'd blow upg hence, he takes it out on the fellows. Therefore, fellows, when he's balllng you out, take it with good grace, because you see, you are in reality doing a great deed for humanity. So Miss Ward is next? Ah, yes-she is the short, stout, little instructor whom one can tell a mile off. She teaches English, and they say she's a whale at it, too, Did you ever know that Miss Ward is a nature lover? Yes, she really is. Why just the other day her wonderful sense of natural beauty was displayed when she remarked that the carrots she was eating tasted iden- tically like geranium plants smell. How's that for a poetical thought? It is generally understood that ever since she was knee-high to a grasshopper she has always regarded nature study as her true vocation. Wonder how she happened to miss it? Of late, she has been evincing a growing interest in German-no, don't make any mistake. It's not the lang- uage: it's just-well, A German . Get the JO-ke, Miss Ward? Oh well, we won't say any more about it. We know that we already have your goat securely tied, and the possibility of its getting loose again very soon is slight, indeed. A certain Moon has looked sort of muddy of late. What's the matter, Miss Ward, haven't you had any spare time to wash her up? How well we recall a certain day when-'Nuff said! Miss Ethel Edick has a sweet job! Kismet has de- creed that she preside over the Biology department, at least for a short length of time. Oh, boy-how she does preside!! They have a holy circus in that room most of the time. Anyway, so it sounds to those who happen to be in the adjoining rooms. Frankly, we wonder just what sort of discipline she has? She is very devoted to her pupils-and, strange to say, she jumps on their necks when they don't happen to have their lessons. Some system, we'll say! We have often wondered why so many people take Biology, but now all things have been elucidated, Mr. Preston is pretty wise in employing a teacher whose methods are so unique, A little bird told us that Miss Edick has an ardent admirer in Rochester. Small wonder, then, that she vamps her dad into getting a pass for her on the B. R. Kr P. Railroad! Somewhere, we have heard that passes are issued only to young people who are dependent on others, that is, who have no direct source of income. How about it, Miss Edick? Can you explain that? If not, you may go to the office at once! Our friend, Andy, seems to be sort of a magnetg at any rate, he possesses the ability of attracting. Miss Edick and Miss Luckey are aparently trying to outdo each other in winning his favor. Whom are you betting on, folks? They're both SOME vampsg they certainly make Theda Bara look sick. We shouldn't be surprised if there were a chance for them in the movies,-in the comedies. Miss Esther Cofield is the absent-minded teacher of Warsaw High, we take it. Honestly, this is a factg ev61'Y time she starts to say anything she forgetswhat she .is talking about and veers off on some other subject utterly foreign to the one supposed to be under discussion. Now we ask you, isn't that terrible? We're awfully afraid that she's beyond all help! There's one consulation, tho--every time that Esther gets to day-dreaming, her pupils can take a much need- ed rest. As this occurs quite often, it is safe to say that no one in her classes is what one might call overworked. By resting all day in school they are fully prepared for the coming night. When a person comes to think of lt, that's mighty considerate of Miss Cofield. All together, now, three cheers and a tiger! Ah, tha,t.'s,.the spirit! It shows how much you appreciate what she has.,done,.B.nd. What she is doing for you. She hails from out Leicester wayg you know, on the road to Geneseo. Have you ever been to Leicester? If so, we think that you can readily find an explanation for Esther's apparently somnolent mind. Environment has a great influence on moulding character. Oh, by the way, remember that trip to Rochester last winter? Oh, you know which night we mean- when a whole crowd went down to see Macbeth. The next day, when Miss Cofield was walking down Main Street, she startled her companions with the cry, Oh, look quick! There's a policeman eight feet high over there! , Now eight feet is rather an unusual stature for any mere man of today, so naturally everyone looked! They saw-guess what? No, not a giant, as you may have sur- mised, but a policeman of ordinary height, adorning a box! Say, it was rare! Those who were present at the time will not forget that little incident very soon. Miss Hazel Hanchette teaches Francais and Es- panol, if you please, 'What a soft job, you'll say. Wait: pause a little, and reflect. A great many heated argu- ments come up in her classes, and the pupils invariably win. Imagine poor little Miss Hanchette, modest and un- assuming, pitted against a band of very knowing stud- ents, and trying in vain to tell her side of the story! Now, hasn't she your sympathy? If ever anyone was deserving of sympathy, she is. Have you heard that Miss Hanchette specializes in economy? She no sooner gets her check than she salts it down in the bank-and it stays there, too. No fol-de- rols for her, she is preparing for a rainy day, She makes Page Thirty T H E B L A S T June, 1924 old Shylock, the miser, look like a Ford parked beside a Rolls-Royce. Question-why the economy, anyway? Ancient men and philosophers have all devoted their best efforts to solving this problem, but as yet, have arrived at no so- lution. The chances are that they will not arrive at any solution, either. Their last hope is the Oracle of Del- phi, and if that fails, then the problem will go down through the ages as one of the unsolved questions of mankind. Miss Hanchette alone knows the answer-and her lips are like unto those of a graven image. Another thing-she keeps us in a constant state of suspense about her engagement. Sometimes she is wear- ing a diamond, and then again, it is conspicuous by its absence. At various times we wonder if she really is en- gaged. Probably she is, and merely grabs off the ring every time she has a tiff with her man. She's temperamental like that. To Miss Ruth Luckey, our beloved History teacher- words cannot do her justice! She hails from the village of Houghton, N. Y. It's so dead there that the inhabit- ants think that all the opera stars of New York city live in the Singer Building. ' Oh, we forgot-there's a college at Houghton, the one redeeming feature, Say, folks, did you hear the Hough- ton Harmonizers at the church the other night? Were- n't they the berries, though? Miss Luckey was as proud as a peacock because they came from the college of which her pater is president. We have it from good authority that she flirted with one of the good-looking young chaps, but of course, we can't vouch for that re- port. We do not think that her school-marm dignity would hinder from doing it, however, if she felt so in- clined. We would suggest that Miss Luckey take a course in English at some good school before she returns to her duties in the fall . During the two years that she has imparted knowledge to us dumb mortals, she has always emphasized the necessity of using correct Englishg in fact, she said that the incorrect use of the mother tongue grated on her nerves. Oh, man! Did you ever hear her say, No, it d0n't,' 'etc.? Don't you love that, fellow students? Don't all speak at once! Oh, Miss Luckey, practice what you preach! Miss Cassidy, we mean Veda, is the goddess who gives wings to words. Hers is the ability to pound the keys- no. don't fool yourselves she is not an accomplished pianist. So, by the process of elimination, we'll admit that she's a typist. Wonderful deductiong worthy of the great Plato! She had one wild time in Washington, all right. She simply cut loose and threw all discretion to the winds. On the way down, the dining car held a great fascination for Veda, for some reason or other. We don't know, but We think it was' the good-looking chef who reigned supreme in the dominions of the dining car and kitchen. In Washington and Philadelphia she was out so late every night, or rather, so early,-that she generally ov- erslept the next morning, and was compelled to rush to catch up with the party. KA slight hyperhole, perhaps, but nevertheless, not far distant from the facts.J Of course she couldn't get breakfast, under the circumstan- ces, and so it would not be strange if she lost a few pounds as a result of that folly. If this occurred, she achieved her life-long ambition. Of late years she has been picturing herself as a sylph indulging in aesthetic dancing. Veda is wild, not only away from home, but actually in Warsaw! After one especially interesting date, she seemed to be feeling rather Moody. Heavens!! Did he have such an effect on you as all that, Veda? Miss Iva Chase, she who presides over the Domes- tic Science department of our ancient and honorable school-we drink to her health. Wonder how she hap- pened to take up that course, anyway? Sh-h, we'll whis- per it to you. It's a dead secret, so please don't let the cat out of the bag! You see, Miss Chase doesn't think that she will always teach, and her motto is prepared- ness, hence the Domestic Science course. She thinks that she can mask her real intentions by perfecting herself in these arts, under the disguise of teaching, but it's all as clear as daylight to us wise young students. Oh, you can't put anything over on us, Miss Chase, we weren't born yesterday! Remember the punch that the Juniors treated us to at their Prom, folks? We have it on good authority that Miss Chase concocted that mixture. Wonder if she thought we are all Chinese? We don't know how to ex- plain it otherwise, the fact that that punch tasted as though it were made nine-tenths of tea, yes, TEA, peo- ple! Is it any wonder, then, that everyone woke up with a ripping head-ache, the morning after the night be- fore? ' They tell us that Miss Chase is a good Presbyterian. Wonder if she thinks that that will help to secure her entrance to the Pearly Gates? She sure will need help, when St. Peter hears about the effect of that punch! Ooh,-Miss Searls, what's this that we hear about you and your wild dates? You must be SOME vamp if you can make Lewis B. succumb to your charms! Think of it, folks, Lewis the Invincible, Lewis the Woman-Hater, was so entranced that he was caught in the net of the beautiful Miss Searls, and as a result, actually asked her to go to a show one night. F' Heaven sake, be careful, Pose ! What would Carl say if he heard about it,-or Windsor? We're willing to wager as much as a half a cent that you've broken a good many hearts already. Will you take us up on it? Ah ha! You decline to bet that much, because you know you'll lose!! Ask Miss Searls about her trip to 'Washington,-no, June, 1924 T H E B L A S T Page Thirty-one to Philadelphia, if you want to hear about a spree. Oh, well, we don't blame you in the least, Miss Searls, for Carl certainly IS a nice looking chap. It's a beastly shame, tho, that that picture of you and he didn't come out! You remember the one, Jimmie O'Donnel snapped en route. Carl was so anxious for a picture of you and he together, that he told Jimmie there was five dol- lars in it for him if it was good. It looks to us as though Jimmie had a streak of bad luck. At the beginning of the term, Miss Searls was mighty strict about note passing during her study periods. Have you fellow-sufferers, which being interpreted, means school mates, noticed how differently she acts about it now? Notes are humming most of the time, and, as a rule. the greater part of them reach their destinations without being intercepted. How do you explain that? Oh. well, it's springs-and in the spring a young lady's tin this case,l fancy, lightly turns to thoughts of love. And still they come,-so it's Miss McNamara this time, is it? She's small, but oh my! There's just a little hit of his Satanic Majesty peeping out of the depths of snapping black eyes-and Mr. Hurry immediately fell a victim. The full Moon is on the wane, and now it has diminished to such proportions that we find two's com- pany, and three's a crowd. Miss McNamara loves her chosen vocation to such an extent that she would rather lead the Glee Club, or Warsaw Symphony Orchestra, than eat. Now what do you think of that? Isn't it just too wishy-washy for anything? Did you ever notice how late in the afternoons of practice days the members of these two noted organi- zations are dismissed? Well, Miss McNamara is of the opinion that everyone feels the same way she does a- bout itg viz, that they would prefer to spend these nice spring afternoons in developing their musical talent, than to-ah, go for a ride, perhaps. Say, do you happen to know that Miss McNamara is acquainted with Vincent Lopez, the leader of the famous Lopez Jazz Orchestra? Yes, she is, and she thinks that he's all to the mustard, too. Her highest ambition is to be leader of an orchestra which will far excell both Lo- pez's and Whiteman's. She doesn't want much, does she? Well, well, well,-here is Miss Bishop, or, in more affectionate terms, Bess. if you prefer. Did anyone notice a certain add in the Evening Tel- egraph some-ah, four weeks ago, we think it was? Here was its content: Wanted-a man: one of the tall and dark type preferred, but almost any kind accepted. Apply at ,........... West Buffalo Street, Warsaw, N. Y. The add at once attracted our attention, inasmuch as we recognized the address mentioned. Since then, we have awaited developments with great interest, and it seems that the add is at last to bear fruit. Advertising pays, all right. We have noticed a 1924 model, Buick coupe, is now at the beck and call of Miss Bishop, together with a chauf- feur who seems eager and willing to do his stuff, whenever Bess signifies her desire to go anywhere. Why, once right during school hours, when we were engaged in doing our beloved two minute drills, the Buick rolled up, Miss Bishop leisurely strolled out of school, got into the car, and was driven off with a great deal of pomp and ceremony. Can our Bess teach? 'We'll say she can! She some- times is compelled to use strenuous methods to impress her knowledge on the ivory domes of her pupils, but eventually, lt is absorbed,-so why worry? We'll admit that sarcasm is a mighty sharp instrument of torture,,but at that, it works. How about it, Bess? Here endeth this chronicle of ye teachers.

The beginning of Saturday night games always seem a hoodoo for the local players and the February 16th game was 110 excep- tion. Before a small but enthusiastic bunch of high school students, the locals went down to defeat. Before the locals realized the fact, Spencerport, led by their flashy center had scored five field goals, for a total of ten points. At this point, the local Captain called time out and talked things over with his team. Weber then made the first field goal for Warsaw. The first quarter ended 11-5. The second quarter was hard fought and at the end of the half Warsaw led by one point, The second half was evenly played and as the final whistle blew, the score was found to be a tie, 22-22. A five min- ute period was then played to end the tie, but the endur- ance of the local quint gave ont. They were unable to score a point while Spencerport caged three field bas- kets. The final score was 28-22. Referee-Root, Attica H.

Warsaw started the scoring on McGee's foul which was quickly followed by a field basket and foul by Weber. Greigsville then scored on a long shot. The quarter ended 8-5 with Warsaw on the long end. Warsaw started the scoring at the beginning of the second quarter on a foul. At this point Keeney was sent in as a substitute. Greigsville scored three long shots in this quarter 'Warsaw was held to two. Jack Mc- Gee started the scoring in the second half, with two suc- cesivefield baskets, Greigsville then scored and from here on Warsaw had her own way. The third quarter ended 21-15.

Attica with a record of winning the last quarter found the crowd on edge and the two teams playing great ball. York scored for 'Warsaw break- ing the tie, but was quickly followed by a goal by Cogs- well, Attica's well-known center. The game then run wild, first one side scoring then the other, but when the final whistle blew, Warsaw was on the long end of the score 17-16. In this game Warsaw showed her best form of the season. She won the game by her hard fighting alld aggressiveness. Referee-O. Coult, Rochester. li It it it W1 11 Le Rory 2 Warsaw 0 On March 14th, the Warsaw quintet met a surprise on the Le Roy court. From the very first it was nothing more than an indoor football game. Frequent deliberate fouls on the part of the Le Roy players were overlooked by the referee who was a local man. After about ten minutes of this playing, Coach Goewey ordere his men off the floor. Under the circumstances this was the only thing left to do. ill li U Ill Ill ll Attica 46 VVa-rsaw 16 ' One cold and stormy night, the local five journeyed to Attica for the second game of the series. The Attica five having suffered their first defeat at the hands of our players, were full of fight. Attica led from the very start. The local players put up a terrible exhibition as basket ball players. They were either stale or else suf- fering frorn an attack of scareitis. To make the story short, when the slaughter was over, Attica had forty-six points while Warsaw had but sixteen. if Ill It li ll Attica 35 Vhmrsaw 19 , On Tuesday, March 1st, Warsaw met Attica in the finals for the county championship, on the new High School court at Batavia, The game proved to be a bitter disappointment to the large group of local fans who accompanied the team. The Orange and Black were overwhelmed again as at Attica. At no time during the game did the locals lead, nor at any time did they show Page Thirty-f our T H E B L A S T June, 1924 the fighting spirit shown in some of the preceding games. The team seemed stale as they missed many easy shots. At times their passwork out-rivaled Attica's but it 'was impossible for us to get the ball in the basket. It was the same old story againg not enough stamina to pull thru. Referee-McKay, Rochester. lk l i i 1 l Le Roy 23 Warsaw 17 The last game of the year was played before the sec- ond largest crowd that ever assembled in the local gym. Le Roy led from the start and kept one point ahead during the entire first half. The score at half time was 9-8. Warsaw could have won alone on foul shots. eighteen being called on Le Roy while only seven were called on the locals. In the last half the local team died as usual, allowing their opponents to score fifteen points while they were able to score nine. It was a disappoint- ing close to a fairly successful season.

BASE BALL Silvm' Springs 8 Warsaw 9 The High School team opened it's 1924 season by a victory over Silver Springs. As this was the first game, the playing on both sides was rather loose. Both teams and errors. Johnson but was replaced by in this position. All length and the close used two pitchers due to the hitting started on the mound for Warsaw R. McGee. Both men worked good League games are seven innings in of the seventh inning found the two teams tied, 8-8. However in another inning, Warsaw shoved a run across the home plate and was then able to hold their opponents making the score 9-8. I i 1 1 It lk Wyoming 5 Warsaw 4 The Warsaw nine lost to the Wyoming boys in a very close game on May 13th, The game was close thruout and it was necessary to play two extra innings in order to break the tie. Tho the Warsaw nine out-played the Wyoming boys, errors lost the game for them. Johnson pitched his best game of the season so far, at times out- pitching Rowe. McGee showed up well with the stick while Rissinger played good at second. l l 8 1 i O Areade4 VVarsaw9 On May 23rd, Warsaw was victor over Arcade in their first clash. The local aggregation were able to hit at any time, totaling nine runs. Johnson was again on the mound for Warsaw and pitched a good game. In the fifth inning, the locals weakened, allowed Arcade to make four runs. ' ll' Ii lk li ll Perry 1 Warsaw 4 Friday afternoon, May 16th, Perry played here on the local diamond. The game was close due to the support on both sides. McGee pitched his usual good game. Sev- eral decisions of the umpire were argued, only to make him more determined in the remaining decisions. Rich- ards, the Perry moundsman, pitched good ball but lacked support. lk ll ll lk II Silver Springs 2 Warsaw 5 When the second game of the season was played on May 9th, with Silver Springs, the local team showed signs of improvement over the week before, The game both teams but lack of timely hitting Silver Springs.

Playing a very loose game and over-con- fident, the locals were held to one run. Johnson pitch- ed good ball but was without support. Not being able to connect with the ball and countless errors cost the game. lk Ill Ill 4' lk VVarsaw 2 Attica 9 On Decoration Day, Warsaw journeyed to Attica only to lose another poorly played game. Real base ball was played up to the fourth inning, the score being 0-0. Then due to the lack of a confident catcher, two runs were scored by Attica. From then on the local team was demoralized and Attica scored seven more runs, mostly on errors. The Warsaw nine were able to score only two runs. McGee pitched a good game allowing but few hits. GIRLS' SPORTS Warsaw 45 Castile 13 On February Sth, the Warsaw High School girls met the Castile girls on their home court. Castile was no match for her opponents, and the game was a very one- sided affair, It was clearly Warsaw victory from the start. The final score was 45-13 in Warsaw's favor. 4 lr lk Ill ll W'arsaw 37 Batavia 7 The Warsaw girls met the Batavia girls on the home court on February 21st. During the first few minutes of play it looked as though there would be trouble for the home team, for Batavia showed a great deal of fast play and pep. However. the visitors were well in hand at the final whistle, the score was 35 to 7 in favor of the Warsaw girls. June, 1924 T H E B LA s T Page Thirty-five Warsaw 26 Batavia 12 On February 29th the Warsaw girls met the Batavia girls for a second game this season. The game was a fast, hard-fought one, and full of pep. In spite of Ba- tavia's efforts they were unable to break through War- saw's defense, and when the final whistle blew the score stood 26 to 12 in Warsaw's favor. iii!! Warsaw 40 Le Roy 12 On March 7th, the Warsaw High School girls jour- neyed to Le Roy and defeated the girl's team of that place by a score of 40 to 12. Up to this time neither team had suffered a defeat this season, so this game was looked forward to with great anticipation. The game was a fast and hard fought one, but Le Roy was no match for her opponents, and the victory went to War- saw. The return game was played at Warsaw March 21st. lk Ill l U if Warsaw 23 Le Roy 9 TheWarsaw High School girls met the Le Roy girls on the home court on March 21st, in the final game of the season.

The Junior Prom was held in the high school gym. on May 9th. If you had been walking past the school at nine o'clock, the sweet strains of Herman's Orchestra would have been heard. It probably would have so af- fected you that you would have wanted to see the place from whence floated this music. After climbing three flights of stairs you would have looked into the gym. The gym? No! This couldn't be the place where you had passed so many wretched hours in Physical Torture. But-it certainly was! It was decorated with black and white crepe paper. All the papers started from one high wire at the center and were looped and pinned onto oth- er wires which gradually sloped down to the sides, giving it the appearance of a tent. The papers on all sides were twisted and tacked to the floor. Herman's orchestra was in the center of the gym, surrounded by floor lamps and ferns. In one corner, which seemed to be the most pop- ular all the evening, the Juniors had mats covered with blanket and pillows. After each dance there was a wild stampede to see who would be the first to get a comfortable seat. Although this original to W. H. S., the Juniors were informed by Lottie that this was a college idea. In the other three corners was wicker furniture and floor lamps. All the different colored lights gave a soft glow and made it seem like fairyland. You probably would have been so impressed that you would have danced a little while. When you glanced at your watch you would have been surprised to see how early f?l it really was. After going down the three flights of stairs and finally out the front door, you would have remarked to your companion, Oh, I can hardly wait for this class to give their Senior Prom next year.

Grabbing our clothes and baggage, we rushed to- ward the other track, only to be met by a conductor who ordered us back to the same one. At present, we are taking the backs of the seats off and putting together for beds. We mean to spend the night comfortably.

Louise Bristol and Glad Smith were responsible for the rumor a year ago that he was married and had a, child: he says that that one joke has caused him more worry than five income tax blanks, He is part-time op- erator at the D. L. Kr W. Junction-one of the loneliest places this side of the Rockies. When night falls and the owls begin hooting, he sometimes feels poetic. He takes a pencil and some paper, and starts a poem about Life, or Love, or Death, or some kindred subject. He gets as far as A tree is lonely in the dusk -and then is forced to telegraph the operator at Mt. Morris, asking him what word rhymes with dusk . When he doesn't feel poetic, he studies or reads. Or, if there is a moon, he looks out of -the window and dreams of a life at sea, or in the frozen wllds of Alaska. We had quite a hard time ac- customing ourselves to seeing him walk down the street with a big cigar in his mouth, Whenever a note lands by his seat, he never notices it. He cannot help but think how embarrassed he would feel, should a teacher catch him picking it up. One of our great hopes in life has been that a teacher would forget herself sometime and call him James . 1 ll lk ll ik fl JAMES REID, Jr. Started on the downward path several years ago. Ran away from home at the age of thirteen. At the age of fifteen, he was tried for grand larceny, but let off with a severe lecture. tHe tried to steal a girl's heart.J Visited the Penny Arcade while in Washington: his mother's heart would break if she knew it. Goes with girls like Lois Thomson. Even Dr. Dow could make no impression upon him. It's a sad, sad case. Only the love of some pure, sweet girl can ever save the poor lad now. E Q ll 1 Ik K l KENDRICK RICHARDSON Ping's got an awful line. He strings them along some- thing wlcked. They say his mother is thinking of taking in washings. She can use Ping's line to hang the clothes on. First it was Edythe Winger who fell for it-then Margaret Calmes-then Eleanor Herman. As they say over in Linden, Who'll be the next? When Ping went to Washington he wore some collars he could slip on over his head: he refused to tell where he got them. If Abe Mesches ever sold them to him the Ku Klux Klan ought to get after him. Before Ping left for 'Washington his Daditold him to keep away from cigarettes: so what should Ping do but buy a cigarette holder, as soon as he got there. Certain students once signed a petition to the Board of Education asking that Ping be put in the gym- nasium with the rest of the equipment: but the Board evidently never took any action on it. Ping deserves a tin medal for the way he throws notes: they invariably land with a crash. He usually signs his name K, O. Richardson . The K. O. stands for Knock Out . lk ll il 4 ll ll ELSIE SCHNEIDER She never yet has had her nose so deep in a book that she couldn't reach it with a powder puff, By the way, Elsie's rather .sensitive about her nose: in the Batavia game she was floored for the count by a knock on the end of it: Doc Thomson-no relation to Eddie-riveted it together again. To see Elsie wiggle around in school, anyone who would think she had the seven-year itch. As long as she has been in school it has been a habit of hers to get 90's and 100's: yet, strange to say, she has always been popular. She has always done most of her study- ing at home-for in school, she has always had to have time for note-writing, and for contributing her share of Cain-raising, in study hall. Elsie lives on a dirt road, which is a terror in rainy weather: many a fellow has been stuck in the mud on this road, taking Elsie home. She says she likes to have them get stuck, so she can hear them swear. When Elsie speaks to you, you are promptly reminded of the Bowery: she always says youse instead of you . When Elsie went to Wash- ington, Warsaw had a rest-but Washington didn't. El- sie's room was where most of the riotous noises on the third floor of the Harrington came from-the hotel de- tective on the third floor took his stand outside Elsie's door, and also made notes of the sounds issuing hence: one morning, he handed his list to Miss Moore--and Miss Moore was forced to remind Elsie that she wasn't back on the farm. Elsie sat up 'till three o'clock every morning writing post cards and letters to relatives, let- ting them know that she was in Washington: after run- ning out of post cards and stationery, she would open her window, and in a voice calculated to wake the dead across the river in Arlington, would yell, Goodnight, everybody . Elsie was one of the few who went to church while we were there: she made up for it though, by attending the Gayety, and Keith's, and seeing a pro- duct of the Penny Arcade, which Eddie didn't mean to let her have. Her faithful dog followed her about everywhere-asking only to be away from her at meal- time: he knew her appetite-and the size of his pocket- book-too well to hang around at meal-time. Elsie is undecided whether to become a horse doctor or a dog catcher. She is thinking some of an intermediate occupation-that of an animal-trainer, 1 Q t 1 ll ll STUART OTTO SHAPIRO Variously known as Monk , Olive , Stew , etc. June, 1924 T H E B L A S T Page Thirty-nine Monk was born with a keen sense of humorg some peo- ple might say perhaps that that's all the sense he was born with-but we won't be so cruel. This sense of hu- mor is oftentimes perverted. As f'rinstance, Monk in- vites you into the Greeksg he orders a milk shake, and so do you: you drink it with relishg and then Tom asks for his money-Monk says he hasn't any-and you have to pay. One example of his sense of humor-and an- other: When a hotel maid walked into Karl Weber's room in the Hotel Sylvania, to make up his bed, and Karl lhalf-dressedj jumped into the clothespress and closed the door, what should Monk twho was presentl do, but walk over to the closet, open the door, and say, Anything you want in here? Luckily, the maid didn't look upg she just said, No . Monk's full of cute little tricks like that. He is also pretty well stocked-up on vaudeville and college magazine jokes. He is forever making wisecrax. He's pretty good at thinking up ques- tions to ask when it's about his turn to be called on, too. Last year, Monk drove an old Ford that rightfully be- longed in some museum: on the back of it was painted Yes, We Have No Top . The car was famed thoughout three counties. Monk is quite an actor. 'We shall never forget his portrayal of the King in Hamlet , nor will Carrie Ingraham. He did well in Nothing But the Truth , but his role in Hamlet still remains his most famous part, At Mount Vernon, we had all we could do to keep Monk from smoking at the Smoke House. In the Sylvania in Philadelphia, he was mistaken for a por- ter once. One night in Washington Karl Weber and his room-mate bought some jelly beans and some moth balls, and, after mixing them together, very generously passed them all around. Monk took a good-sized handful, not suspecting any treachery: he put a few in his mouth and was munching them, when of a sudden he let out a howl -and sent for an ambulance. He was all right though, by the time the ambulance arrived. Monk didn't crave candy any of the rest of the time he was away. He hadn't been home very long, though, before he was chasing up to Knapp's after a chocolate bar. Now that he's home again, he can't eat any more pork. The other day Mr. Preston asked Monk: Are you planning on com- ing back next year, Stuart, to finish up? Monk nearly fell over, seeing's how he hopes to get through this June. Monk's quite a boy-yessir! If you don't believe us, ask Max. U I l l li GLADYS SMITH She has quite a weigh with her. Her father is a milk- man-and he sees to it that Glad drinks plenty of milk. Glad plays the piano with the touch of a second story man g she also knows one chord on the ukelele. She has a rather funny laugh-sort of a deep-toned snicker it isg when you hear Glad laugh, you feel like laughing your- self. -She played the part of a clinging vine in Noth- ing But the Truth . In one scene she had to sing to the accompaniment of a ukelele. It is needless to say this was one of the most ridiculous scenes in thefiwhole play. Whenever Glad starts singing the young man looks at his watch, suddenly remembering that his parents told him to be home by a certain hour and that he really must be going. So she seldom sings any more now-though she hates to admit it. Glad's a great kidder-just like her father, Her father has been kidding us along now for several years with the remark that a great many of his cows were Jersey cowsg we learned just the other day that not one of his cows came from Jersey. His car may be just a Ford-but he cares enough about it, not to let Glad drive. Glad acted very serious and dignified the first day or two of the Washington 'tripg on the third day or so, though, we saw her tripping the light fan- tastic all the way up Pennsylvania Avenue: Avery Per- kins of Le Roy had arrived the night before. Avery ls the one who is giving Glad heart trouble just at present. Kindly no'ice that she is not wearing a Warsaw Senior ring-but instead a Le Roy one. You know Glad is just at that silly age that every girl has to pass through- when any fellow from out-of-town appeals to her. In a good many of the Senior's memory books Glad wrote down under Wants to be , just one word and that was thin. Glad is now worrying about what she will be presented on Class Night: she expects something like a book entitled, Eat and Grow Thin. Glad was one of several girls who had a house-party at the Lake one week last summer-and was the principal cause of the neighboring cottagers' complaints. It is said that one cot- tager across the Lake complained about the noise pro- ceeding from this cottage. It is thus very easy to trace the cause of most of the noise-Glad is about the only girl we know whose voice would carry a half- mile. iiiiil LEILA SNOW A flapper type. Knows all the latest slang, reads Hot Dog and Whiz Bang , smokes, and drinks strong coffee. Has broken many heartsg a few of her victims are Robert Arnold, Robert McGee, Lyle Miller, Vincent Hig- gins, etc. She once thought of jumping off the Buffalo Street bridge, but when she found out that nobody thought of stopping her ,she wouldn't do it. Someone once told her that she could write wonderful poetry: that person should have been shot. She tickles the lvorlesg organized the famous Snow's Orchestra. She sings, and also composes: her most famous composition to date it: It Was on a Sunday Morning That I Heard the Ba- nana Peel. 'Winter is her favorite season, for then lt is very easy for her catch Bobs.

' ' f Page Forty T H E .B L A S T June, 1924 MIRANDA SPINK When Miranda enters an empty room, it is quieter than it was before. She talks only when extremely excited. Such moments occur when a teacher calls on her, or when the sign language fails to bring the salt and pepper across the table to her. She would be an ideal girl for some tired business many he wouldn't be both- ered by having her talk to him. Miranda had the thrill of her life when she went to Elizabeth MacDonald's par- ty last year with Bill Starkeg she played post office , 'n'everything. Miranda has a fellow, but no one seems to know who he is: he arrives a little after sunset on Sunday evening, and he leaves a little before dawn the next morning. Here's what they do while he's thereg first, they play Rock of Ages on the old organ, then play other old favorites' 'like Love's Old Sweet Song , then they look through the family album, about this time the oil lamp begins to flicker-and goes out. Silence reigns for several hours. Miranda appears in school the next morning with rings under her eyes, to be asked by everyone if she had a good time the night before-But she doesn't reply, she only smiles. 1 l 0 li ll 1 EDWARD THOMSON The Dog . He is the boy who can't decide whether he would rather be dumber than he looks, or look dumber than he is. When Eddie received the proofs of his Senior picture, he told his mother that he didn't like them. She said, Well, if you want them any different you'll have to get someone else to sit for you. He's real innocent- lookingg but looks are deceiving -in this case, any- way. He's as mischievous as a four-year old. One night while we were staying at the Hotel Harrington, Eddie fired off his blank cartridge pistol-terrorizing hundreds of the hotel's guests, they thought a murder had been committed, That's just one of the hundred or more things he did while on the trip: he certainly made life interesting to the hotel detectives. One night, Eddie had something besides his spirits dampenedg he was leaning out of his window, talking to some fellow across the areaway, when Elsie, two floors above, doused him with a pitcher of water. He has a superhuman appetite. On the Attica trip a year ago, someone was late for breakfast, Eddie ate his own breakfast, and then made away with the other fellow's. It is common knowledge that Eddie could eat a breakfast of two dozen pancakes, potatoes, bacon and eggs, and coffee-and still be hun- gry, if anything were left. As long as food is before Eddie, he can eat. Eddie goes with Elsie Schneider- except when Horse Lakas beats him out. She lives on a dirt roadg whenever Eddie gets home rather late from a date he always springs this one: Got stuck in the mud again. When it hasn't rained for a week or so, he springs this one: Ran out of gas- . When Eddie isn't busy writing notes, he looks dreamily out of the window, and thinks of the Penny Arcade in Washington. Eddie's feet are so big that he has to have his shoes made to orderg if he ever went wading in the O-At-Ka, we would have a flood. Just what kind of a dog is Eddie anyway? 'Tis said that he is a lap dog. It It I Ill fl H LUCY TUTTLE She's the girl who has the low-down on all the teachers, Several of them board at Tutt1e'sg--she hears about the others from those. She could tell you just how many times a week Miss Searls get a letter from the fellow whose fraternity pin she is wearingg she could tell you how much of her salary Miss Hanchette spends for the movies and candyg she could tell you whose pict- ure is on Miss Cassedy's dressing table. She could tell you this-and a great deal more-but she won'tg at least, she won't until she's graduated and is sure they can't do anything to her. Before every issue of The Blast she has all of them worried sick, for fear she has given the editor some rare material about them. Lucy has never done anything exceptionally wild. In Wash- ington she roomed with Marg Calmesg Marg tried to get her to smoke, but she wouldu't do it. However she was guilty, among others, of putting jelly beans in Lois An- drews' bed one night. One other night, Vince Higgins took her to Keith'sg the same night Jimmie O'Donnell took Marg Calmes. If she did anything else very wild we have not heard of it. ll! lk i Ii Ill 1 KARL KELLAR WEBER Otherwise known as Ku Klux . Used to be a pretty decent fellow before he starting associating with Clayt Madison and Monk Shapiro. His future all lies behind him now. Some girls think Karl looks like Samson: but we think he looks like the devil, Poor fellow! He's always broke-and never can get his hair cut. We heard one person in the Hotel Harrington say of Karl, I won- der if he belongs to the House of David? Not particu- lar as to the girls he takes out. Perhaps there is a rea- son, there is the possibility that he may have had a tra- gic love affair once. We suspect something of the sort. for he is always singing, Goodbye Forever . Karl ad- mits that he is pretty cleverg he says he has forgotten more than lots of people know. Mr. Hurry says he guesses that's so, all right. Karl's the kind of fellow who, if he saw a sign: No Spitting On the Floors of This Building , would spit on the wallg he's that way- independent. Karl doesn't believe in osculatingg he says that it's bad for the heart. They call Karl the gorilla sometimes: he certainly looked it in the Class Fight. In the selfsame fight, he got so excited that he said a few things in his native Frenchg it happened that some of the Juniors understood what he said and were deeply offended. Karl's hobby just at present is collect- ing horseshoes-in preparation for Regents.

I l 1 O I MILDRED WEBER Absolutely no relation to Karl. Both emphatically deny any family connections whatsoever. One time Mil- dred asked Karl to write in her autograph album, this is what he wrote: Do you know why people think we're related? Not because we're both bright-but because we're both FAT. She has never quite forgiven Karl for that. Mildred had an awfully exciting time on the Wash- ington trip. We hadn't been riding so very long on the way down, when of a sudden a valise tumbled off its rack on to Mildred's headg we are very glad to state that the valise suffered no injuries whatsoever. We actually saw Mildred using cosmetics while away: her mother should be informed immediately. The idea of Mildred trying to cover up that peach-bloom complexion of hers! Somehow we can't help but wonder how many apples she eats a day to retain that complexion. It was rumored that Mildred went to the Gayety, but we refused to believe it: if she did, certainly Dr. Dow should be summoned back to town again. Mildred was surprised to find the House of Representatives and the Senate on the same floor of the Capitol building: she thought the Senate would be on the floor above the House of Representa- tives since it is called the Upper House. Mildred isn't very talkative, she is too content to let someone else do all the talking. She is also quite self-conscious, she should get over this, remember that it is Leap Year, and go out and nab some fellow, Who knows? Perhaps she doesn't need our advice at all. We hear that she has a fellow .who takes her to church every Sunday night. ll li K K EDYTHE WINGER Short-plump-- and likeable. She is the girl who gave Ping Richardson his first real thrill. 'S funny how some of these bo-ys and girls go thru several years of school together without ever noticing each other until their Senior year. Thus it was with Edythe and Ping. One day Ping noticed that Edythe was more than passing fair, and started writing her notes-at first about les- sons, and then about-oh, other things. They began to appear places together, f'rinstance, the Senior Benefit Dance and the Junior Prom. And then, suddenly, some- thing happenedg only Edythe's diary knows what it was. Edythe began to study more, and write fewer notes, dit- to Ping. Upon our asking Eleanor what was the matter she said that she didn't know-because Edythe keeps her diary locked up. So the mystery remains unsolved. Edythe has brown eyes- a facial feature denoting faith- fulness , we learned from that great soul-penetrating work, How To Read Character at Sight. It neglected to say faithfulness at what-so we naturally inferred that it meant faithful attendance at meals, ELEANOR WINGER Another perfectly respectable Warsaw girl with the out-of-town fellow complex. All girls in a small town have itg the unknown is always more attractive to human nature than the known. Eleanor's Romeo comes from Batavia-thirty miles away-at least once a week. Our spies report that he drives a Ford coupe-which is big enough for two, but strong enough for four. His name is Milton Cummings. As far as we know he is all right -but he is wanted by the night watch of Le Roy. Going back to Batavia about two o'clock one morning in pass ing thru Le Roy he woke that worthy up. Edythe won't tell us how many pictures of Milton, Eleanor has on her dressing table-but she admits there are quite a few. The spiders haven't a chance to weave a web on the in- side of Winger's mail-box, the letters from Milton come so often. Eleanor is another one of those girls who has persuaded her parents to have soft lights in the parlor. On an evening when Milton is scheduled to arrive, Elea- nor puts on her best complexion-and spends half-an- hour before her mirror, practicing the expressions to use when Milton arrives. Eleanor has an awful line, heaven only knows where she got it. Maybe she got it from spying on Pansy when Pansy had a caller. We wouldn't be at all surprised if such were the case, Any way, Mil- ton-evidently yet uncultured in the ways of flappers-- seems to have fallen for it. Ill 11 li ll' ll! ll SETH WRIGHT Has a noble ambitiong wants to become the Great Lover. Has a livid pastg knows more about love than Elinor Glyn. Has an awful lineg used to string rac- quets for Spalding. The girls he goes with are so dead- that he takes them to the cemetery. tRemember ghost, Glad?J Seth's Dad runs a laundry, that's Seth has so many good-looking shirts. Rivals that why Don Keeney as a sound sleeper. He says, It's a great life if you don't waken. Says he doesn't care about keeping 'that schoolgirl complexionk always brushes the powder off his coat as soon as he gets home. Is almost hopeless, since he associates with Ken Wellman, Elwin Johnson, Clayt Madison and Monk Shapiro. His parents ought to take him in hand-send him to Houghton College, or do something of the sort. Office Gossip The sponge is always soaked and the waste basket fully the scissors are cutting up and the mucilage is sticking around to see the stamps get a good licking. The ink is well but feeling blue because bill is on the file. The weight tries to hold them down. The calen- dar is expecting to get a month off and the blotter is taking it all in.

The gymnasium was taste- fully decorated with crimson and white streamers inter- woven in the form of lattice work on the walls. The el- ectric lights were lowered a distance of some fifteen feet, and huge crimson and white shade placed over them. These shades, together with colored bulbs, created a soft glow, the effect of which was very pleasing to the eye. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Cornell Society Six, a bunch of peppy young fellows Their playing was akin to that of Paul orchestra, which is the highest compliment from Ithaca. Whiteman's that we can pay them. Everyone was very enthusiastic, apparent that the orchestra met with the and it was unanimous approval of all. The ball was a success, from a financial, as well as a social standpoint. The Seniors not only realized enough to pay the orchestra in full, but they were also fortunate enough to have a few dollars left over. Did everyone have a good time? We'll say they did!! CLASS FIGHT tContinued from page 261 and of how the Senior girls wore their colors of red and White. And for weeks that followed one could hear of the jokes that occurred. Oh! By the way, Juniors, Everett came after you had gone home. He brought his car too. He said he expect- ed to carry the Junior boys to the hospital and thanked the Seniors for .being so careful as not to hurt them. Thus passed the fight of twenty-four -- a struggle never to be forgotten by all who took part. And in the great future we may he-ar some hoary grandfather telling how he defended the flag of twenty-four against the school. We will hear some telling of winning the second Senior victory for ten long years. Again we may hear some man gone from his infanthood tell how he con- quered the Class of '24. Such is the way of life and such was the flght for the flag of '24. In order to remember that Bret Harte and and Rex Beach are writers of western life use the law of associ- ation as follows: Harte sugests Heart Heart suggests Love Love suggests Proposal Proposal suggests Moonlight Moonlight suggests Porch Porch suggests Cottage Cottage suggests Summer Summer suggests Beach. There you have it. Plainly Harte leads to Beach.- Ex. CLASS PLAY fContinued from page 273 the same ceremony and service which was used that even- ing. Everything was realistic, with the bride blushing rosily and the knees of the groom playing an Irving Berlin strain. This feature particularly brought the laughs of the audience. The play was not only a success from a financial but from a dramatic standpoint as well. Nothing But The Truth will always stand out to the Class of '24 as one of THE events to be stored in our Book of Memories for our Senior year. And you who condescend to read this poor review just remember that Nothing But The Truth is a comedy that acts much better than it reads.
