Here they met The Farmer in the Dell and the Special Agent, The Count of Monte Christo, who told them Char- lie Chan's Secret. They questioned this, only to receive the warning, Don't Get Personal. Then The Two in the Dark walked down The Trail of the Lonesome Pine and bumped into The Unknown Woman. She was searching for the Per- fect Gentleman with The One Way Ticket to the Rogue's Tavern where The Singing Vagabond and The .Lady in Scarlet were hiding Desert Gold. This being an Exclusive Story, The In- former went to tell the Federal Agent, who was in the House of a Thousand Candles putting Fast Bullets into Hair Trigger Cassy, the Man of the Hour of Modern Times. -Angela Briggs, '36, Z A Z S the soil, however rich it may , 2 be, cannot be productive without Z V culture, so the mind without cul- A tivation can never produce good I fruit 2 , fa fa en Q Ga Z IRTH ,,,,1 . and RTH How do you keep your children in at night ?

It is inclined to go the same way as that one-time good word notorious, ' which, from meaning note- worthy, now invariably means wicked, We say, with a shake of the head, 'Tm afraid it's becoming a habit, or He's a slave to habit, meaning al- ways a bad habit, Yet habits may be good, they may be beneficial, the very foundation stones of orderly and beneiicent living. To train a good impulse, which may be fleeting, into a habit that is con- stant is surely to strengthen and en- noble character. The efficiency of a machine depends upon the exact co-ordination and co- operation of all its parts. There must be nothing jerky, occasional, spasmo- dic about any of its wheels, cranks or spindles. They must all have the me- chanical habit of working in unison. We are not machines, nor do we desire to become machines. But if We are to be efficient, We must form cer- tain somewhat machine-like habits of regularity, reliability, punctuality, in- dustry and thoroughness. We will then work with the smoothness and effi- ciency of a machine, whilst we need not sacrifice our power of initiative, forethought, and the adventurous spirit of discovery. There are nobler habits than these, which are only habits of the mind. Are there no habits of the spirit? I think so. A man may be efficient, yet 14,5 ,X1 W 'S il l' erousg orderly in his work, but disor- derly in his emotions. We have all known men and women Whose habits seemed to work perfectly in ordinary circumstances but who lost control and crashed when struck by adversity and trouble. They have neglected to form the habit of calm self-contain- ment, which is something higher and more spiritual than stoicism. Good habits, carefully and deliber- ately formed, often serve us better than great natural gifts, for one bad habit has often proved capable of rendering the greatest gifts almost useless-- the little rift within the lute which, by and by, makes all the music mute. Good habits are built to stand wear and tear. Being slow of growth, they are less liable to fall before the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. There is a note of warning which needs to be sounded. We say a person has become the slave of habit. It is a true saying both for the good and the bad. A man may become the slave of a good habit. I have known men so tidy that they got nothing done. In its larger implications, it is what Tennyson meant when he said: The old order changeth, yielding place to new, And God fulfils Himself in many ways, Lest one good custom should corrupt the world. So let us see that our good habits ever remain our servants and do not become our masters, for the spirit of a man is h.igher than any habit he may not patientg economical, but not gen- form.

ff gf Y ,g f Q ii - 1 f 7 NA Regina holds the record as the smallest in the class, While Mary Schiegg, without a doubt, is quite the tallest lass. Wherever pranks are being planned, Miss Houpt of course is seen, For helping in the mischief, Mary Osborn's very keen. Then too we're pleased with quiet girls, such as our Lillian Glenn, I And also our sweet Mary June, so here her name we pen. Now Blanche McBride has but one fault and that is being late, If 'twere Miss Carney we would say, Last night she had a date? Virginia Kram, as editor, knows how the paper's run, And Lois finds that hunting ads is really lots of fun. Now Rita Joos, our president, has many pleasing ways, Miss Wagner, too, in this respect, is worthy of our praise. Where'er there is a tennis court, you'll always find Miss Lane, While volleyball is just the sport for our beloved Jane. Miss Rooney-one may see e'er hugging a geometry, But Mary Kirby says, I've had enough--no more for me. Now reading is a hobby that's Veronica's delight, Miss Ott displays domestic ways by knitting every night. Romain, the genius of the class, must come by train and trolley, A hop, a skip, a jump, and here's Miss Pettay, al- ways jolly. Expressive eyes and jet black hair-Miss Dax of course we mean, With pearly teeth, a lovely smile-Miss Stoeckle here is seen. Marcella is the sweetest, in this group of twenty- three, So now you've met the Junior class, the Seniors soon to be. Lois Dotterweich, '37. .

DRAMATICS fConcluded from Page GJ Glowing Embers, a comedy-drama of three acts, will be presented on Class Day by the following Seniors: Jeanne Richardson, Mary Carita Brown, Cornelia Reister, Thelma Apel, Mary Howley, Rita Callahan, Angela Briggs, Dorothy McSteen, Dorothy Forrest, Catherine Martin, Cecilia Bonomo, and Ger- trude Schrott. This play is a deep stirring drama that will be remembered for years by those who see it. Although the players are amateurs, they are pre- pared to meet your exacting requirements for the dialogue is such that the pupils love to play and the audience loves to see. The sprightly comedy and uproarious farces are so gratifying to all the listen- ers that they justify this production in being called a comedy-drama.-Rita Callahan, '36.
