To them the world has seemed a flowering continent That bloomed in life's invigorating beams. ,,.,,.f vw'- And we who are as they were, look for them today, 5 -73--'- Uh Father, with their sterling visions. Where are they? Blind giants swing their axes, chopping grass Within a wood of oaks. Swift ships from stormfraked seas Have lost their figureheads and drifting, pass. A racer prays for speed, but stays upon his knees. Yet, if this is the end of those who dream and hope, We still shall smile and challenge all the world. For man is always puny in his vision's scope, And dreams are marchingfbanners, never furled. Our own horizons are a neverfending call: Ch Father, may we answer well before we fall.

The play opens in the Firecone Inn, where all the Knights of the Cockleshell, the worst ruffians of Paris, are gathered listening to Huguette flviildred Luskj recite the love lyrics which Francois Villon fHoward Shontingj has written to her. While the orgy of-drinking and gambling is going on, Louis XI Uohn Federj and the Chancellor Uohn Wagnitzl enter in disguise to Conf firm their suspicion that Thibaut, Grand Constable, fStanley Hamiltonj is planning to betray France to the Burgundians. In a short time Francois, recently released from prison, arrives and is greeted boisterously by all, who look upon him as their leader. He -tells of his meeting with a royal lady and of his love for her, which arouses Huguette's jealousy. However, their conversation is soon turned to the affairs of France, and here it was that Francois gave his conception of kingship and unknowingly challenged the sovereign. As Francois lapses into pensive mood Mother Villon flrene Suddickj comes in search of her wayward yet devoted son. She leaves after being assured of his safety. At this point there is an interruption and all rush from the tavern, leaving Francois, heedless of the King's and Chancellor's presence. Princess Katherine fMar- garet Tuckerj, with whom he has fallen in loves, comes in and entreats him to kill Thibaut. This he agrees to do in a drunken bout, and in the ensuing duel Thibaut is wounded. At his cries soldiers enter and the King reveals his identity. Louis XI, remembering Francois' foolish boast, makes him Grand Constable for one week in place of Thibaut. If during this time he can win the hand of Princess 33 nmmIIvmnnummunmIumummm:Iarmmumummnnnuu nInmruuuiu-umInu-Innum-numInnuInmunmmnuuumiIImnI.unnmmnuInuuunmuunumuummuiuumunnmnnnun:muImuumnunnuIImunmnunnmmuu- Katherine he shall go free, if not he shall be hanged. Although bewildered, he quickly adapts himself to the ways of nobility. Noel fRobert Currier, is jealous of Francois because he regards himself as Kath' erine's lover, but to appear indifferent he becomes interested in Huguette. Therefore, when she presents a plan which involves the kidnapping of Louis XI, he agrees. Francois learning of the plan, poses as the King and would have been killed but for Hugette, who, recognizing him, receives the mortal blow intended for him. Katherine learns tolove Francois, but when she discovers he is Francois Villon, a vagabond, her pride triumphs over her i love. Francois goes to battle and wins Burgundy for France, but his success avails him nothing, as Louis is relentless l and Francois must hang. As he stands before the gallows a proclamation is made that if anyone will sacrifice his life for Francois, he may go free. Mother Villon humbly offers to die for her son, but the King refuses the offer. Lady Katherine finally realizes how noble is the character of Francois and offers her life. Again the King refuses, but when Katherine, pleading for his life, begs that she may be allowed to marry him, the King must fulfill his promise to Francois. The part of Francois Villon was played to perfection by Howard Shont- ing, who was equally proficient in his characterization of rogue, courtier and lover. The difficult role of Huguette was enacted with reality and charm by Mil- dred Lusk. Her death added the touch l of pathos to the play. Lady Katherine was delightfully played by Margaret Tucker, whose beauty and dignity left little to be def sired. John Feder took the part of King Louis XI with ease and naturalness. He was ably supported by John Wagnitz as Tristan, whose deep and well modulated voice was remarkable in an amateur actor. The mother of Villon flrene Suddickj gained the sympathy and love of the audi' ence with her prayer. Doris Stewart, with her regal beauty, was well suited to the role of Queen. She sang Gnly a Rose charmingly, and her attendants, Christina Mackenzie, Gertrude Cramer, Garnet Cramer, Gladys Hoffman, Mary Johnston and Edith Gibson, aided in the chorus. 34- , THE OCCIDENT Stanley Hamilton portrayed the villian, Thibaut d'Aussigny, with spirit and vim. Noel de Jolys, Katherine's foppish lover, was well enacted by Robert Currier. jack Felty as Olivier Le Dain, and Roger Dolder as Captain of the Watch, were well suited to their parts. Lonell Thompson and Alice Crouthers, who sang Love Me Tonight, have voices of extraordinary quality. Ruth Butler sang the Huguette Waltz beautifully and Bernice Brown sang Some Day with great expression. William Huffman as Robin Turgis looked and acted excellently his part of Inn' keeper. Victor Stiver was well suited in his role of Rene De Montigny. The part of Guy Tabarie was played by Paul Casey, who was the clown of the occasion. The vagabonds, Marguerita Donahue, Mildred Ford, Margaret Kuhn, Isabelle Hughes, William Kline, Louis Phelps, James Shields, Paul Hammond and Otto Michaelis contributed greatly to the success of the play. The soldiers, Donald Hessler, William Nice, Robert Thomas and Albert Essex, with their splendid costumes added greatly to the effectiveness. Plays mean work not for the actors alone, but mountains of it for those who pre' pare both cast and stage. Mr. Leahy never had a larger group to train, yet he never did it with more contagious enthusiasm or finer feeling. Miss Crain had a heavy task in costuming and staging a French play of so long ago. Yet those who know most about it are remarking with what historic accuracy and beautiful effect she fulfilled her commission. The music, as arranged and directed by Mr. Hutchinson, added much to the at' mosphere and effectiveness of the production. Mr. Campbell, Mr. Cromer, Miss Evans, Miss Foster, Mr. Montgomery, Miss Kern, Mrs. Flynn and Mr. Neeb rendered invaluable service in the lighting, costuming and the business. , Others who gave their time and labor to the play were Eugene McClain, Philip Momburg, Howard Momburg, Myron Riley, Francis Miller, Edward Heine and Ken- neth Kidd.

The alumni roster of 1,25 3 members, begunat that 5-1'j?f'l, - ' lljg' time has grown to many hundreds Where they are and what they are, now is a matter of interesting conjecture. Some have become so conspicuous in our city or have done something so noteworthy elsewhere that everyone knows about them. Cthers have slipped out of sight and almost out of memory. It has been the good fortune of the alumni editors, through the kindly help of several teachers, to meet or learn of the work accomplished by a few graduates. By sheer chance they range from the hrst to the very last class. The list is small, but a noteworthy one, of which any school should be proud. MARGARET ANDERSON, '24, is a junior at Ohio State University. Through her office as secretary of the Woman's PanfHellenic, and this year as president, she has exerted among girls on the campus a wider influence than any other graduate of West High. She was one of the eleven popular cofeds who assisted in the reception for Mayor Walker of New York at the opening of the Deshler Annex. HERBERT AKERBERG, '17, is chief engineer of the WAIU broadcast' ing station. To him goes the honor of designing and installing this new 5000fwatt station. He was a pioneer in the radio field. His amateur station was the second to be established in Columbus, and with it he rendered in' calcuable service during the great flood of 1913. He was assistant instructor in the aviation department during the World War. Station WBAV, which was the forebear of WAIU, was licensed by the government in 1922, as the third station to take the air with a telephone radio aerial transmission. Mr. Akerberg's radio station now ranks as twentieth in the United States to enter the superfstation group. 45 THE. OCCIDENT HOLLIS BARBER, who graduated last year, entered Oberlin College and won the highest honors bestowed upon a freshman.

Among these were several veterans: Captain Casey, Kline, Blumer, Doughty and Hammond. Florio and Wilson, the other regulars, were declared ineligible the first week of the local season. THE GAMES ,. West, handicapped by the loss of her players, was defeated by South 13-0 only after a hard fight. We met Central October 16, and landed on the short end of a 16fO score. The fierceness of the game was shown by the fact that both centers were carried from the field in the last quarter. Later on XVest was given the game, 1fO, because of the six semester ruling, which made Stock and Perril ineligible. East, playing good football, defeated West, 18f7, in a closely fought game. Casey was the outstanding player of both teams. West's line, the weakest of the season, could not gain on the powerful North machine, so we had to be contented with a 3'5fO trimming. Football was closed for the year with a 7fO victory over Aquinas. Walker put the ball over in the first period and Hammond kicked goal. West did not win the championship, but they gave every ounce of strength toward it and have a good nucleus for the coming year. THE SEASONS HEROES Casey, our captain and fullback, was the outstanding performer for the past year. Although handicapped with a bad shoulder he was always in the game giving his best. Too much can never be said of Paul. Kline has been the regular end for three years, also alternating in the backfield. Doughty, end, was little but mighty, and Hammond, halfback, a bear for punishment. Riley, left guard, was our best bet on the defense. Those back for next yearxs call are: Captainfelect Todd, Blumer, Dent, Shanely, Sullivan, Parkey, Steckman, Ballard, Tracy and Trabue. With a year's experience for each of them West should have a championship team in the field next fall. 50 THE OCCIDENT BASKETBALL Three veterans: Casey, Kline and Gill, formed the basis of the basketball team of '27, With a gym floor for practice, it looked as though we were in for a banner year. OUTfOFfTOWN GAMES West lost her Hrst game to Springfield by the score 2f13. Trabue and Walker shared scoring honors with 4 points apiece. Zanesville trimmed West 25f21 in a last' minute rally. LOCAL GAMES During an overtime period South beat West, 28f27, in one of the most thrilling games of the year. The Cowboys' defeat of Aquinas, 2320, was the first win of the season. Walker was the bright light with IO points. West was handed three straight defeats. North was on the long end of a 2913 score. East defeated us 22f19. SECOND ROUND In the second round of play South pulled through with a 2048 victory. Aquinas upset the dope bucket and handed us a trimming, 2349. Central took a hard'fought game from West, 22-16, on their home floor. Our Cowboys had taken North and East into camp only to have the games forfeited because of Wood's ineligibility. SEASONS CLOSE West was eliminated, I9-18, by Delaware from the Central Ohio tournament on the first day. It was the first time we had ever been defeated on the opening day. We will lose by graduation: Kline and Casey, guards for the past three year, and Hamilton, center. However West will have several men back for next season. Among them QI87 Walker, Stizcvart aiu?

BEYOND THE HILLS I watched the hills in tranquil sleep, And wondered what there was beyond, What fancy there, what secret hid, What message was there to be found? Were there enchanted villages In which enraptured artists dwell, Where dreams were made and then, alas! Were shattered as old citadels? Or were there rushing, roaring seas That tossed and swirled in angry mood The small and shrouded sailing boats, Which tho' bent low were not subdued? 1 no it were but a river's song, Or breath of pine, or hum of mills, The charm, the mystery still lurks ' Like mist beyond the hills.

DRIZZLY SATURDAY It isn't rain, it won't separate into drops. One doesn't see it either, But senses it by its wetness. It's a lake of vapor whose blanketing essence Brings out invisible markings in Earth's accessories, And brightens colors - All except shoe polish. For instance: Unpainted board fences become damp panels of shaded curves, Circles, and fairy tracings etched in ebony. The brick walls of buildings Usually sitting in unvarying stolidity Become harmonious mosaics of a hun' dred shades Of the same colors, rhapsodies in red. Two cavernous umbrellas Skip down the street Like errant toadstools. Perhaps there are little girls under them. Wire clotheslines, swaying arcs, Become strands of crystal beads.

The sea' gulls were aroused from their usual summer afternoon drowsiness to take note of an extraordinary excitement that was disturbing the notably calm little iishing bay. Their native curiosity was soon satisfied inasmuch as they discovered the cause of such hilarity. It was no less than a group of fifty jolly girls and boys setting forth from a rickety wharf in a clattering, chugging old motor boat. The gulls, after several min' utes of fruitless complaining about this intrusion on their domain, were so abashed by the lack of attention paid them that they finally gave up in despair and were forced to be content with an occasional screech. Clang! Clang! The bell on the boat was the signal for the passengers to come scurrying forth and ind comfortable seats. Though there were a few whose faces paled at thoughts of leaving land, they were far outnumbered by the rest of the party, which was merriment personified. All awaited eagerly the time when their seafgoing convey' ance should putfput its way around the fishing boats, dancing on the waves, and then reach the deep, blue sea. Oh, what a delightful breeze! It brought with it a tang of salt that was so invigf orating that ere long the youthful voices had struck into a rollicking chorus, whose accompaniment was the gentle swishfswashing of the waves around the motorboat. Indeed, the waves were ever increasing and fast becoming mighty swells. The sun, which had lazily shown his face through the mist, was now completely obscured by great black clouds frowning in the background. Not another boat was in sight. All had been left far behind or was obscured by the ponderous swells that were the cause of much anxiety to the young mariners, when they were left gasping for breath at each descent from the crest of a giant wave. The swarthy old captain beamed down on his passengers and his eyes twinkled as he asked if they should like to return. Why, no, they wouldn't turn back now, of course not. The retort, however, was not entirely enthusiastic. Gradually quiet reigned. Little by little faces took on a greenish cast not due to the reflection of the dark green water beneath. Ah! The real excitement was soon to begin. One lad bemoaned the fact that he had ever come on this wretched journey. Why did he feel so queer? He wouldn't admit, even to himself, that he was experif encing an attack of what is politely termed mal de mer. But casting a glance around at a few of his unfortunate companions, he smiled weakly as he noted their ghostly faces. Youthful tormentors, who were unacquainted with any such attack, took great delight in hurling lively thrusts at their less fortunate companions. One really had enough to conquer without their gibes. On and on they went, every minute becoming more unendurable. The captain seemed utterly inhuman in his staying ability. By the set determination on his face, he would go on for another half hour. But as the time slowly passed the entire group, after casting rather sheepish glances at their miserable companions, consented to a return. Then one young girl, who had been abstractedly sucking a lemon, brightened perceptibly. The clouds had by this time lifted, and the last rays of the setting sun cast shimmering lights over the water. As they approached land the waves became so gentle that they were nothing but ripples. lt was dark. The lighthouse in the distance suddenly flashed forth in all its brilliancy. Tiny lights, springing up from the city cozily nestled among the hills, twinkled forth a welcome to the returning seafarers. The strains of an ukelele floated out across the bay. Someone softly hummed Home Sweet Home. Yes, it had been a glorious trip, but-well-one somehow appreciated for the first time the words of the famous old song: Be it ever so humble, There's no place like home.

Climb up, I said, Oh Papa dear, let's hie us out of sight, Methinks there'll be a hot time in this ancient town tonight! The dear rheumatic did as told, and following my suggestion, Climbed up beside my collar-bone without another question. I took Ascanius by the hand, the Original Flaming Youth, My Baby Boy, the Sheik of Troy, as Dido learned forsooth. Creusa following behind, we exit from the strife, Thru safety zones and red lights sped, they're nothing in our life. Pursuing Greeks, bloodthirsty, tried-what dastard villians they- To sell me fire insurance on my yachts out in the bay. We galloped thru the dark back streets, and Papa bellowed Fly! They yell, Sign on the dotted line! Their fountain pens flash nigh. I disobeyed the traffic rules, I plied acceleration, We knew that we'd be barbecued on a moment's hesitation. The harbor bar flashed near at last, I leaped upon my yacht, I turned to help Creusa up - Great Caesar! She was not! I ordered sweet Ascanius: Boy, page Creusa fast. We searched in vain the Maramor, the stores that we had passed. We searched for many a precious hour, at length we searched no more. The Greeks closed in, alas my wife, our ships shoved off from shore. My heart was choked with grief to think that thus our lives must sever, For wives may come, and wives may go, but I go on forever. james V.Williams, '27. WHEN CLEOPATRA CAME TO COLUMBUS MoNoLoGuE Time: Present. Character: Cleopatra. Place: High Street, Columbus, Ohio. Cleopatra: This bricked road is terribly crowdy. I wish I had brought Anthony with me on this visit. He could have made a path through the dense crowd. No, if I had brought him some of these modern vamps might have cast an alluring glance in his direction. I wonder what those queer looking carriages are that run on tracks and the smaller ones that go so fast. What's this man saying to me? Stop? He says the light is red. What light? I don't understand. I'll just have to follow someone. Here comes a girl, I'll follow her. She looks as though she were walking on stilts, and her feet are so small. Mine are twice as large. She must have fever, her cheeks are so red. What's that? Oh, she called somebody Bob and he called her Mabel, What queer names. Everybody seems to have short hair, I wonder how I look to these people. Mabel is going into a large building so I will enter too. She stopped at a counter that is filled with glass jars and boxes of sweet smelling dust. I don't know what it is. I must be starting homeward because Anthony told me to be back by sunset. These feminine creatures dress peculiarly. I never saw any dresses like these in my fashion book. Maybe my modiste can make me a dress like Mabel's, there wasn't much to it. My wouldn't that create a sensation where I live? I must hurry, but I can't walk fast with these flowing robes around my feet. Anthony will be so angry if I'm not there. ' I have enjoyed this visit a great deal even if everything does seem so strange. Bernice Brown, '27. 70 THE OCCIDENT In reviewing the year 1926f27 the editor is inclined to say it has been a worth' while and happy one. It was an off' year in athletics but decidedly on in some other respects. NEW ANNEX OPENED The physical equipment was more nearly adequate than for a long time. The num- ber of class and registration rooms was perceptibly increased. The present art and music rooms rank with those of the newer and larger schools. The cafeteria, so stuffy and crowded in the old basement, was replaced by a light airy dining hall and equally attractive serving and cooking rooms. Everyone rejoiced at the new gymnasium, with instructors for both boys and girls, not only in athletics but in physical education. One great lack has been no adequate assembly hall. School spirit has languished because of that and the pupils have missed the uplift that comes from occasionally leaving books and regular work to listen to an inspiring speaker. NEW TEACHERS With the enlarged building a new course was added to the curriculum and several departments were expanded to meet the growing needs. Mrs. Rawson has taken up some business subjects, Mr. Kennedy has mechanical and architectural drawing, leaving Mr. Campbell to devote his time to other phases of art. Miss Uncapher has given over some of the home economics work to Miss Evans. With the new gymnasium athletics has become physical education, which Mr. Fuller teaches to the boys, and Miss Mc' Cormick to the girls. The English department was enlarged by the addition of Miss Burrell. Miss Cornell took the place of Miss Drake in the Latin department. Mr. Mar' quand has taken over some science classes, and Miss Bender has assumed the duties of librarian for one of the most used libraries in the city. PRESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD For the first time in history the West Side furnished a president for the Board of Education. Mr. Cecil Randall has been a good friend to the school, and is in a position to do much for us during the erection of the new building. WEST SIDE MAYOR Mayor Thomas has come to expect assistance from the HifY boys one day each school year. But we never were so fortunate as to have a West boy as the Mayor's understudy till April 19, 1927. Roger Snedeker seems to have filled the bill quite wellg at least no disastrous results have come to light. Twentyfsix other city offices were filled by West High boys on the same day. Earlier in the year, for the Hrst time, the girls had less extensive opportunities to learn how the city is governed. POETRY PRIZE The journalism prize did not equal that of last year. While we led the city, we were accorded only third prize in Class 3 for school of S01 to 1000 attendance. How' 71 THE OCCIDENT munmummIuInInInIllnumumnnIInnIIunInnnmuunmIInuIIInlllmmuuunnnnuumnIummnumuIunuuumnuummunuIIanulmuuuuuuunnnInunInunuuunuIIunIIInnInmmmmnuuIImununnImnmuumnuInunninmnuuummn- ever this was more than offset by the National Poetry prize, which James Williams won through the Round Table of the Magazine World. It carried a check of S50 and an invitation for others to enter next year's competition. . WORDS OF APPRECIATION There have been many people concerned with the success of this Annual, some whose faces are not in the group pictures, nor do their names appear on the staff. Our sincere thanks is due the members of the journalism classes, who generously assisted with the mechanical work of the book. The advisers have been unfailing in patience with our mistakes and enthusiastic in praise of all good work we have done. We wish to acknowledge publicly how much we owe to Miss Burns, Miss Harrington and Mr. Neeb, and to thank them heartily for such valuable service. Ralph Fletcher has generously designed the cover, and to him we also give our thanks. ROOM AGENTS Room agents do not come into the spotlight very often, so we want to take this opportunity of thanking them for their hearty cofoperation. The uninteresting details of taking subscriptions, collecting money, and distributing books have been so carefully managed by them that we are listing them below: 1, Charles Boye, 2, Arthur Castle, 3, William Knox, 4, Herschel Doty, 5, john Redmond, 6, Geduah Wallace, 7, William Boye, 10, Betty Dear, 11, Beulah Pierpont, 13, Kenneth Bishop, Stanley Hamilton, Isabel Iavely, Irene Suddick, Ruth Vorce, 14, Donald Jeffries, 15, Marvin Wirtz, 16, Frank Ruder, 17, R. C. Dean, 18, Kathryn Enterman, 19, Eliza Rodgers, 20, Dwight Frasure, 21, Louise Alford, 22, Elmer Smith, 23, Paul Langdon, 35, Mary Brown, 37, Ruth Livingston. They merit this notice and our thanks.

Tiny crimson and white buds were beginning to throw off their nightcaps and the wind, now gentle, tossed the kites merrily in the blue space of heaven. Here an early robin tugs at an unruly worm, pulling on it till his tail seems to brace him up. A saucy Cardinal looks down from his bower of green and views the scene with an air of superiority, as if contemplating in his bright little head whether or not he should go get the worm for himself. Over in the corner a chattering gray squirrel blinks his beady eyes, knowing that a diet of early spring twigs is much tastier, as well as good for the digestion. But dear me, Birds will be birds. So, with a swish of his bushy tail, he scampers up a flower' ing maple tree and is lost to view. In the meantime the robin has secured his prey, and the cardinal, who goes strut' ting around with the air of a young lord, has suddenly spotted another worm, and .1.l...,.1q,....1Iii...-..1...-11.1 1.In-I.1lm...q.1...ini,q.1'.11I1.1.1...1p.1..1...-..1..1..1..1g+ II TIRES TUBES ACCESSORIES TIRE REPAIRING A HEMPY BROS.

While the struggle between cardinal and worm is becoming more serious, robin, with a sar- castic chir-rfrfefe, flies off, leaving cardinal feeling very foolish, but more determined than ever to be victor in the struggle. The sun has been growing brighter every minute, and the creatures one by one arise to seek some quiet nook and brood over the wonder of it all.

From its turrets floated the Baron's colors--buff and brown. The Baron himself stood in the cozy room of the castle called the office. He was a jolly looking, kindfhearted gentleman named Sir Magly. About him was a host of admirers and advisers. Some of them were: Lady Kern, Sir Marquand, Lady Knox, Lady Burns and Sir Neeb. They were discussing the subject of Seniors Whether to allow them to enter the trials and temptations of the Business World and make room for the Juniors or to keep them safe inside and make the juniors wait. ?'i T':i :'i'll':i i 'Tl:il'T'5 -- ''T'32.325514lillT'lT ill 'llllllllillillillllllllT'l 'l? l , . . fl l Mack S Confectionery l lce Cream, Sodas, Soft Drinks, Candies, Cigarettes, Tobacco, Magazines, Lunch, School Supplies l. 1 l 1344 West Broad Open 6:30 A. lvl. to I2 P. lvl.

The Baron had almost decided, when one of the lords suggested that they consult those most concerned. Of course the Seniors did not know which to choose. They were torn between staying with their loved ones and striving to make a place for themselves in the world. They finally decided upon the latter, and after many fond adieus and sad good-byes they departed. The Juniors rushed in and took possession. Sir Magly was heard to remark, with tears in his eyes, Well I know, or at least I hope, they will do as well as their predecessors. Lady Kern said confidentially, I know the girls will.

The stars and moon are blotted out by inky wads of clouds. A castle looms in the darkness, casting a deeper gloom in the thick blackness. The leaves on the skeleton-limbed sycamores rustle like silk shrouds. His horse's heavy footsteps sound like ghostly feet on freshly dug earth. A breath, damp as the draft from an open vault sighs in his hair. The whispering trees, the silent blackness, then- a shriek in the gloomy castle and a click. The horse plunges. The knight snatches his Cleaver from its sheath and throws himself olf. A deep groan from afar up in the tower. He hurls himself against the stout door. It does not give. He hammers the lock with his gauntlet. He chops at the hinges with his bludgeon. His brow is damp and cold. He shudders and kicks the panel. A swiftly rising moan ends abruptly. A thirdfstory window is thrown open, spilling yellow light on the lawn. A blonde head is poked out, and an E-voice barks: Who do you think you are, the village blacksmith?

THE VICTGR Tecumpsee and his squaw Techeekee rose early the day of the gauntlet races. I greatly fear, boomed Tecumpsee's great voice, that our eldest son will not survive the run. Oh, yes he will. Did we not name him Senior, which means success and strength? And you can't deny he has a strong constitution. Well, we shall see, said Tecumpsee. By the time the sun rose, several hundred people were gathered at West, the Wigwam of the Chieftain of the tribe. All day long different braves tried successfully the other gauntlets, but uniformly they failed when they came to the Great Gauntlet. As the sun was sinking, Senior stood up and stretched his strong lithe limbs. It is his turn, whipered his mother. The youth tightened his girdle and off he sprinted, while Techeekee held her breath. Father West stood by to give a word of advice or praise. .fu--nn1-In-:n1ul1nn1 1 11u11'n-nn-nnn-uu1uu-nu1u'11u111nn-un1:-1-u1un--nu1un1uu--u-npxuu-n-nga .

Are you giving your effort along with the rest And not playing the part of a fool? Are you making really the most of the time You spend at your studies each day? Are you doing your best? Are you trying to climb, Not willing to waste hours in play? Are you growing and grumbling, unheeding the gift That is far more precious than gold? Are you trying your highest, your ideals to lift, Not doing just what you are told? just pause for a moment, give serious thought To the things that are really worth While. Life's best endeavor truly is wrought In youth, when we work with a smile. Dorothy Lee Ingles, '28. WHERE FM SATISFIED You may tell me of wonderful places, And I'll listen with interest and care, But beware, for I might ask a question, Why weren't you satisfied there? I have read of the beauty and splendor Of the Alps and the shores of France fair. They are praised by the painter and poet But I wouldrft be satisfied there. I have heard of the scenes and the romance, Where the steep mountain paths you may dare. No doubt they would thrill for a moment, But I wouldn't be satisfied there. There's a place full of peace and contentment. Yes, I know there are mansions more fair, But their beauties can't tempt me to leave it, For it's home and I'm satisfied there.
