These are times when everyone should realize that he is called ujnm to do, not only his “hit,” hut his “all.” In other words, he must put every day to some definite use, must make every hour tell, and must guard against being, directly or indirectly, a hindrance to the great national movement. It is best, as we have often Iieen told, that we should continue our education here in order to take the place of the thousands of edu- cated young men who are leaving for the fields of battle. But, while we are doing nothing directly for our country, it is our jiart to make the most of this time so that we can take our places as soon as possible and shall he as well eipiipped for those places as we have been able to make our- selves in the time spent on our education. This means that we are to make the best use of every jieriod in school and of every hour out. If we are iilling through the year on five points less than we are able to carry, we are not doing our “all.” If we are s]iending our evenings at the movies, we are wasting our time and money in a way that does us absolutely no good, and are helping to pay a man somewhere to stay at home when he ought to he at the front. And let us remember the little things that Mr. Hoover talks about, for not until this whole nation does “its all” shall we win the great war! _o OLR FRESHMEN. This year the upper classes are watching their new schoolmates of the class of 1921 with a special interest. They are of the first class to graduate from the Junior High after having completed its two-year course. The success of the Junior High idea will he shown by the spirit and enthusiasm with which this class enters u|)on its high school course this year. Have these two years, during which they have been finding themselves as a class, succeeded in giving them the true idea of high school life and spirit? We hear promising reports of the sujiport which they have already given to the athletic association; and all seems to indicate that the class of 1921 is losing no time in find- ing its true place among the others of the school. f) THE AHITNTiTON HIGH SCHOOL CLAHION THE CLARION BOX. The Clarion Box in the library has re- ceived more contributions for the paper luring the last month than ever before! This is surely a great encouragement to those who have been working to make our paper a success, for it shows that the school has begun to take an interest in it. But this is only a beginning. The school as a whole doesn’t realize as yet just what the Clarion should mean to it, and what are its obligations to the Clarion. The value of a high school paper is recognized by practically every school of our size all over the country; for such a sheet, with the proper support, should be a stimulus to school activity and school life, by arousing and guiding the interest and en- thusiasm of the whole student body in everything worth while which the school undertakes. But a paper cannot do this if it realizes that every student is not sup- porting it. Then, too, the high school paper is a written record of the school it represents, a record read by the towns- people, and, through its exchanges, by hundreds who, by it, form their opinion of our town. It is clearly your duty to help us make it a success this year. The Clarion can be a force in this school, but it needs your whole-hearted support to make it so. o Teacher: “Use ‘influential’ in a sen- tence.” Bright Pupil: “I had a little bird named Ential. I opened the window' and in flew Ential.” A .SLIDE FOR A RIDE I was staying on a farm Where they kept a horse. Brother stood there looking on, Father was the boss. I placed a chair beside this horse, Who was very old and thin. And then I thought I'd take a chance. So I climbed up on to him. He didn’t like it very well. Thought he’d dance around: He stood up on his hind legs. And I slid to the ground. Daddy came and picked me up. Brother held the horse, I said that I had had enough. And walked off feeling cross. ■So this happened, don’t you see. When I thought I’d take a ride? The horse he danced and reared right up. So I only took a slide. Helen Snow, ’20. o Try patronizing some of our advertisers, and let them know that it is because they advertise in the Clarion. It would really help a great deal. The Clarion would appreciate several good, new cuts for the editorials, calendar, or alumni notes. Can you draw? Our subscription list this year is double that of last year, but there are many more who should subscribe. Do you realize that it costs 18 cents to print this copy of the Clarion? The Drafted Men oh.

The War Office has decided to act u])oa the recommendation of your commanding officer, . e., that you he granted an honor- able discharge and he allowed to return home to England. In view of your service hotli in the present and the Boer war, and because of your loss of two sons in His Majesty’s service, the War Office has de- cided to grant you your discharge. Seely, Col.

Surely, as his com- ratles said, his luck could not he beaten. The day seemed never-ending so great was his tiesire to he off. When finally the next morning he swung aboard a returning supply truck and started on the first stage of his journey, he was as hajjpy as it was possible to be. Everything was peaceful; nothing seemed to he stirring save, high in the sky, a white speck — an aeroplane. Suddeidy a high, whining screech was heard, then a terrific roar, and a high col- umn of dust and smoke arose. What had been the truck was now oidy a heap of wreckage. High above in the sky a German aero- plane signalled to the hichlen batteries, “Cease firing!” J. Morgan, ’19. Subway Suliways sometimes have very interest- ing scenery. This does not consist of the subway itself, which is a bewildering mix- u]) of lights and noises. It centers more in the types of jieople that travel through them. Take a seat in a train and study the types opposite. Here sits a young lady of twenty-three or twenty-four, dressed in the height of fashion, with a bored look on her face. She is going in to a matinee, and she just knows the show will be poor. Beside her is a woman of about forty, with a large bag. She is going sho])ping, and her eyes are al ready kindled with the light of the fray. Next to her sits an im]josing jierson with his hair cut a la William Jen- nings Bryan, a frock coat, a cane and black silk gloves. He sits there sujiremely un- conscious that his hitched-up trousers show that he wears no socks. Several gig- gling schoolgirls are going in to the mov- ies. They are greatly interested in some- thing she said to me ami I said to her. There is a small boy who seems to have some strange affliction. Everv moment his face is convulsed in a spasm of such vehemence that it threatens to shake off Scenery his hat. This exhibition is noiseless, and seems to be caused by some nervous dis- ease. Einally he yawns and the mystery is solved. He is chewing gum. Beside him sits the inevitable knitter. Sbe is an expert, and tbe jarring of the train does not affect her in the slightest. Einally the boy beside her gives a wriggle and causes her to drop a stitch. She glares at him and proceeds to remedy the damage. At the end of the seat sits a small man with pale face and close-cropped hair. His cheap suit and shoes and his furtive man- ner stamp him. He sits there dully except for a gleam of hatred when a stahvart policeman enters the car. And so the scenery changes, and in one trip we may see life on all its sides. William Kenniston, ’1 . o Try your hand at writing a sketch of some athlete, boy or girl, for our “Who's Who” ] age. We are glad to hear from Mr. Burtt through the column which has been jilaced at his disposal in the Clarion. 'I'llK AHFJXdTOX HIGH SCHOOL CI.AHIOX !) A Deserted Farm One afternoon rny cliuin and I went for a stroll. Oiir way led along an old ribbon road lined on either side by willows and alders. The berniit thrush was singing, and many little eyes were watching us to see if we would harm them. As we emerged Irom the woods, our ])ath was bordered by stretches of green meadows. A short distance ahead, upon a little knoll, we saw an old farmhouse, iu hack of which were the barn ami the wood- shed. When we ajiproached, it became evident that the place was deserted, except for the swallows and squirrels, which had made their homes for many years in the loft of the old barn. Beside the door of the barn was the bench where the milk pails had been dried in the sunshine. To the south lay the barnyard, with the (dd rail fence. Between the house and the barn was the woodshed, under whose sloping roofs the hornets built their nests. A flagstone walk, almost hidden by the grass, led u[) to the house. A ciunamou rose bush gave })ioof of its one-time beauty by a few blossoms. The lilac trees grew by the kitchen windowq where the busy housewife could enjoy the fragrance of their nodding blossoms while at her w'ork. dlie door, beaten by the storms of many years, sagged upon its hinges, and stood ajar as if inviting us to enter. We ste])j)ed cautiously through the little entry into the parlor, with its many paned windows and broad open lire])lace, on each side of which were the straight-backed settles. Opening from this room w'as the long, low kitchen, with a spacious brick oven suggesting row's of punij)kin j)ies and baked Indian i)ud- dings. The storeroom was just beyond, with long shelves for the shining j)ans of milk. From here we passed through the living rooms again into the little entry and made our way carefully iq the creaking stairs, hallowed by the many feet that had passed over them. Just a peej) into the chambers was enough, for we were beginning to feel somewhat awed l)y the cpiiet of these rooms. As we came out, we could see the family burying ground, where the stones stood hall hidden in the shady corner of the ail- joining held. Our homeward walk was (juiet, as we thought of the lives once so busy about the place we had just visited, now resting (juietly under the old elms which, in the late alternoon, cast their shadows upon the deserted farm. Willard Spalding, ’21. o NEW SHOES. I never like to wear a ] air of new' shoes because, iu the lirst place, they are uncom- fortable, and, in the second jilace, they scjiieak — at least, mine do. I shiver at the thought of juitting them ou, but, once on, my troubles are only beginning. If I am obliged to wear them to school, I am in- deed unfortunate. I enter the class room, the s([ueak increases, everyone stares at me! I try to reach my seat as quickly as j)ossible, I)ut my hurry oidy increases the noise. When 1 do sit dow n, it is comfort- ing to know the music has sto] ped, but oh! my feet begin to ache. By the end of the morning everyone knows who is coming without even turning around. Music with- out words is often telling. George Hurley. 10 TIIK AHLIXdTOX HIGH SCIIOOI. CI.AHION Brace Up ! Brace up! We like that slang j)lirase. We like it because there is lots of soul in it. ou never knew a mean, stingy man to walk up to an alllictecl neighlmr, slaj) him on the hack, and tell him to brace up. It’s a big-hearted, o])en-handed lellow that comes along when you are cast down and tells you, “That won’t do; luace up!” It’s he that tells you a good story and makes you laugh in spite of yourself. It is he that reminds you that there’s a silver lin- ing in every cloud. Brace up! No one ever got anywhere in this world getting discouraged. Trv again! Don’t ex|)ect Idg things right away. Only by labor does one accomplish something worth while. “Poets may he horn, hut success is made.” Do not think that the other fellow succeeds just by luck. Brace up! Make something of yourself! There is no tone like this to restore one’s sj)irit, no course of gymnastics ecpial to it for strengthening the nerves and muscles. Don’t drug your system with patent medi- cines; don’t fool away your time, brace u|j! Brace up! and health, strength, and enthusiasm will urge you on to still greater achievements and to the highest success. Dokis Jukes, ’H .

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 11 The Red Cross In these times when the Red Cross is so prominent, a few words about its origin seem quite htting. This organization was not instituted un- til 1859. Then it was that the awful suf- ferings of the uncared-for wounded on the fiehl of Solferino aroused the sympathy of all Europe. Up to this time tlie wounded soldiers would lie untended for days, unless some private organization, like Florence Night- ingale’s Mission, helped them. Such a thing as a trained nurse was unknown. In 1864 the interest in this cause became so great that fourteen nations sent rej)re- sentatives to a conference, held at Geneva, to discuss the question. These agreed to a treaty, establishing a volunteer relief or- ganization to which all the nations should give authority. This treaty was ratified by forty-four nations, including the United States. As a compliment to the nation in which it was formed, the new association was called the Red Cross, ami the cross from the Swiss flag adopted as its universal sign. Since then it has furnished valuable help in times of lire, flood, war and eartlnpiake, with its corj)s of trained men and women and its money and supplies. It stands for organized help and sympathy, and knows no hounds of race, creed or nationality. In the L nited States it started in 1881 as the “American Association of the Red Cross,” hut was later re-incprporated un- der its present name. It is given govern- ment authority and supervision. The President is its official head and its finances are audited by the War Department. Every one is eligible for membership. There are now 4,000,000 members in tbe American Red Cross. In Japan, one per- son out of every twenty-three is a member of the Jaj)anese Red Cross; in Germany every fourteenth person belongs to tbe German Red Cross; wbile here one in every twenty-live belongs. In the United States the Red Cross has given valuable aid in organizing and ad- ministering relief in tbe yellow fever epi- demic in Florida, in tbe Jobnston and Gal- veston floods, and in tbe San Francisco earthquake and fire. It assisted in the collection of supplies and in their distribution to tbe famine sufferers of Russia in 1892, and also helped the Armenians after the massacre of 1906, and cared for the wounded in the Spanish War. Besides the regular relief work the Red Cross is doing in the ])iesent war, it acts os a medium between tbe people of tlie United States and their army and navy, and be- tween the societies of other nations in such cases. It has also several Inanch stations in the Philippine Islands. So, if you would do your bit effectually at borne, tbe best way to do is to join the Red Cross. Cecilia Freeman, ’13. o DON'T STOP. When someone stojis subscribing. Someone stops buying! When someone stops buying. It stops selling! Wlien it stops selling. We stoj) jninting! When we stop printing. Everybody is losing! So Keep tbe Clarion going! Kennedy, ’17. o Thanks for tbe contributions in the Clarion box! We can, however, use a great many more. 12 THE ARUXCTOX HKill SCHOOL CLAHIOX Fear Conquered “Ouch! Lenime alone!” “Sh ! Somebody is trying to break into the camp! I beard them trying the door knob.” “How could they? We locked the screen doors.” A grunt and a snore, and Marion was fast asleej). In spite ol all the pokes and ])incbes wbicb I bestowetl upon her, she would not wake 11]). We were alone in the camp, with only Bastruji’s dog to protect us. He was lame in one leg, blind in one eye, and couldn’t see out of the other. As long as be went by the name of dog we felt some- what safer than if we bad been alone. I still persisted that someone was trying the door knob, and as I could not go to slee]), no matter bow I tried, I got out of bed and marched downstairs, armed with a shoe and hair lirusb, which were the only weajions of war I could bud. I was about half-way down the stairs when I beard the faintest noise jiossible. It seemed to come from the bottom of the stairs. My heart fairly jumped into my mouth, and for a few seconds I thought it stopped beating altogether. Forgetting eyery thing except the fear of an intruder, 1 bred the shoe down the stairs. A terribc yelj) followed. The dog bad been sleep- ing at the foot of the stairs, and it was be that made all the noise. When be scratched bis neck, bis collar made a noise wbicb 1 thought sounded like some one trying a doorknob. 1 went sheepishly back to bed. I still felt sleej)less and nervous. In a few mo- ments 1 got np again and went to the win- tlow. As 1 looked out on the woods wbicb surrounded us on three sides, and the lake in front, the moon, wbicb bad been behind a cloud, came out. It shone calmly down on us and made the woods look decidedly peaceful. As I stood there I wondered bow any person could be j)rowling through those woods looking for barm, and instantly all my fears vanished. Im- mediately I went back to bed and, in sj)ite of all the noises the dog made during the night, I slej)t jieacefully. Ruth Edwards, ’20. The Twins ddie twins stand on the mantelj)iece, fresh and demure as when they came from far-off Dresden. They are daintily clothed in soft shades of blue and pink, with gold beading fantastically arranged to serve as trimmings to their frocks. Very bewitch- ing indeed are these dolls, with their dim- pled cheeks and laughing eyes; and j)er- baj)s if one would let one’s imagination wander far enough, they would detect a certain amount of proper sadness behind those laughing eyes. Many, many times have the fingers of the youngsters itched with longing to cud- dle them; but always when this temptation ai'ose memories of threatening words about the back of mother’s hair brush or other such devices used for the same pur- ])ose went through their little minds, so the temptation jjassed, and ])laythings of a natnre less dangerous to the welfare of their feelings were adopted. You see, the twins had a history. Hav- ing been once the playthings of two real twins who had gone to a hapj)ier home in the ])ast, they were treasured by the older members of the family, and, of course, held their j)lace supreme against all new intruding ornaments. Anna L. Prendergast, ’19. THE ARLINT.TOX HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 13 Autumn On Both Sides Of The Sea It is autumn, the time for harvesting. Beautiful red and yellow leaves cover the trees. The wind lilows and thousands of leaves fall like dust to the ground. The cro])S are ripe. In the fields of wheat the wind blows and makes the toj)s roll like great yellow waves. Apj)le trees are loaded with shiny, red aj)ples. Children jump into the soft piles of leaves. There is a ha])piness in harvest, yet it is mingled with a little sadness for the departed sum- mer. But on the other side of the sea another far different harvest is being gathered. The harvest is of men. The red crosses of the nurses are the red leaves. The yel- low faces of the dying Belgians are the yellow leaves. Like tiust they fall to the ground. The fields are of a grayish color, waves of gray and blue smoke j)ass over them, as the cannon roar, and the battle is waged. They are covered with the dy- ing bodies of both ally and foe. Aero- planes, like birds, dart here and there through the clouds of smoke. There is a sadness in this harvest; yet it is mingled with the great love that human beings feel for each other in times of great sorrow. These are two autumns. Le Roy Guibord, ’19. At Sunset The other afternoon just after sunset I was walking up the street towards my home. The afterglow of the sun’s rays had left the sky a glorious red with orange streaks, while above it the red shaded to pink, lavender, and then blue. While 1 was saying how beautifully the trees were darkly outlined against this mass of color, my frieiul seized my arm. “How wonderful!” she cried. And 1 looked to where she was pointing. Truly, what we saw silenced us l)oth, and filled us with something like awe. From the squat tower of the church the flag was being lowered. We watched it come slowly downward, black against tbe fiery red of the sky. It was a most imj)ressive sight, and we stood still, watching, until the flag disap- j)eared into the dark masses of trees. A feeling of patriotism welled up at the sight; again and again the picture re- turned to my mind, and with it came the And the wanntli of the summer is lost. hojte that as lotig as this world lasts other jteojtle will see Old Glory waving tri- umphantly over them, only being pulled down by gentle hands at night to preserve its beauty. Alberta Pond, ’19. o AUTUMN'S REGIME. Summer is fading, Like to a maiden Who from sickness lias withered away Autumn is dawning, .S|ueading its warning Little liy little each day. Harsh winds are blowing. Discomfort is growing. From the city to country abode, All are iire|)aring For times which are nearing. Well heaped is the liarvester's load. Cold are the dawnings. Brisk are the mornings, Tlie dew of the autumn is frost. The elm trees are moaning. The saplings are groaning, Marion KELUitt, '18. THE A. A. A. Well, we’re off. Talk about school sj)irit! 'iell, I guess we’ll have ath- letics in our school after all, when over o5 per cent of the students in our grand old school belong to the Athletic Association. For the benefit of our friends we will say that a tax of five cents a week j)er capita is put on each pupil in our school. This includes everyhotly, hut it is strictly voluntary. When in a school of over 6.50 over 85 per cent of the scholars enlist of their own accord in the Athletic .Association, we can rest assured of meet- ing our expenses at any time. That is what the words “school sj)irit” mean to us in the Arlington High. — o — FOOTBALL. At the first call for candidates thirty- seven athletes “to he” responded, a fine showing for the initial call. The day the call was issued the hoys were given a little “bean work” by the Principal, Mr. Burtt, who “notified” the hoys that no matter who won, playing sijuare was the game, and being good losers true sportsmanship. It is easily seen that Mr. Burtt does not know Arlington hoys or he would not have needed to say that. Being mostly all rookies, the squad is aliout as green as the freshmen, hut they are down every day on the field jiractising and drilling and slowly rounding into hard, solid, steady, machine-like gridiron men. Arlington, 1,3; Boxbury Latin, 0. They’re off! The first game has been jilayed, on October 12, and won by the hoys on our home grounds. Roxhury brought out a squad of good jilayers, hut they didn’t have the punch when it was needed. At the kick-off Gearv got the hall, hut didn’t get far before he w'as tackled. Then the hoys “went to it,” and from the beginning of the first quarter till the last of the last quarter the Arlington hoys pulled and pushed the hall down the field. In the very first half Moore got away for a thirty-yard run. Then between Geary, Cadagan, Silver, and Moore they worked the hall down to within Roxhury’s five- yard line. Then Geary used his head, and by a center rush by Moore, followed im- mediately by another by Silver, Arlington scored her first touchdown for the year. Good hoy. Silver! Then it was nip and tuck for the rest of the game, till in the last quarter “Red” Cadagan drilled his wav over the line for Arlington’s second touchdown. Fine work, “Red”! The goal w’as kicked, and Arlington had THE ARUN(;T()X high school clarion 15 won its first game, 13-0. Our lineup: Hadley, Sexton . . . r.e. Viano r.t. White, Anderson . r-g- Adams c.

The Arlington High School srpiad hiked to the Spy Pond Field on October 15, there to encounter the Dorchester eleven. The game commenced at 2.45 j). m. From the first whistle to the last our hoys outplayed their opponents in every de])artment of the game. But we succeeded in getting across the white line beneath their goal posts only once, Cadagan registering the only touch- down, while Dorchester made its score by plowing down the field to our ten-yanl line, and then their plucky full Ijack suc- ceeded in gaining our goal j)ost for a touchdown. During the rest of the game the hall remained mostly in Dorchester’s territory, without any scoring. When the final whistle blew, the ball was in our ])OS- session on Dorchester’s 15-yard line. Moore, Cadagan, Silver, Geary, Kenni- son j)layed well for the Bed and Gray, while Henderson was the bright light on the Dorchester team. ur lineup: Smith, Hadley Viano, Danton l.t.

The first half yvas nip and tuck, for Need- ham had a good, solid team, and it almost looked as if our squad had found its eipial. Every inch of ground yvas contested by both sides, and no big gains were made, since tbe wind (jiieered practically every forward pass. But in tbe second half things began moving. Suddenly Cadagan slipped around the left end with the ball, and was only stojqied yvhen nearly under the shade of the goal. Tyvo center rushes followed, and then the hall, two yards from the line, all yvaited breathless to see Silver plunge through under the goal. The ball yvas in motion; Silver rusbed straight ahead, but “Red” Cadagan, yvith the pigskin, cleared the left end and scored for Arlington. After that Needham seemed to have lost some of her grit, and Silver succeeded in scoring again. Both of the goals follow- ing the touchdoyvns failed on account of the yvind. l(i TIIK AHUNdTOX HIGH SCll()Or CLAHIOX Our liiieuj): Hadley, Coolitlge l.e. Kennison l.t. Odenweller, Anderson l.g.

Thus the Editors have thought it wise to devote a juige in the Clarion for the public recognition of such shiidng lights, and in this issue we begin with The Class Rresidents. SiLVElt, 191 5. Jordan Silver, in other and less dignified words, “Jid” or “Sliver,” Senior President, football jilayer, is surely there with the goods! At class meetings he jnesides as solemn- ly as could he reipiired, and turns olf the business accordingly. In his football togs he looks good to us, too. When he gets his signal to rush, he jnits his head ilown and hits the line till something has to give. He’s a live wire, for he does his “hit” for A. H. S. every day of his life. — o — Robinson, 1919. Philij) Robinson is the President of the Junior class, lunch ticket dispenser, and son ol the Town Clerk of our hajipy city. We see I hilip in the Mayors chair in the future as a W'orlhy successor to father, as he already shows signs of leadership — in several directions. An athlete, a scholar, an orator, an all- ound good fellow', say w'e ! Smith, 1920. Robert H. Smith, our illustrious states- man and jnesirlent, orator and general utility l)oy, is widely known among the social set of Arlington High School. He is as ])om])OUS as George Washington and as aristocratic as the Kaiser. The vocabu- lary of the Honorable Mr. Smith comjiares with that of Webster, and some day he will astound the W'orhl hy compiling a diction- ary of his own. As an orator, he ranks second only to Cicero himself, and as a politician he rivals Woodrow Wilson. If Mr. R. 11. Smith’s boyhood ambition is realized, we shall yet see him in the Presi- dential chair of the Ihiited States. — o — John Lamson, 1921. Hail, John Lamson, chief executive of the Class of 1921 ! The mighty president of a mighty class! Who is there better fit- ted to guide and direct the class through the perilous days of its first high school year, to champion against the contempt and oppression of upper classmen, and to start it well on its way to fame and success? For Jack, while possessing all the good traits of a freshman, has, with his election to the presidency risen above the common weaknesses of his kind, and becomes a man worthy in every respect of the honor. And, indeed, with such a class advisor and such a president, hacked hy such an execu- tive committee, ought not the Class of 1921 to start things moving mighty soon? Watch this jiage in the Christmas num- ber for some of our famous athletes. 1918. Class Officers.

Oh, what is so rare as monotony In the life of a Freshman hold? It is one grand rush from morn till night, In a wild endeavor to comjuer the fight With algebra, history and Latin stern. Till it seems sometimes that he’ll never learn That the usual result when he fails in these Is a slip saying — “Return this afternoon, please.” When at eight o’clock the last hell sounds, Down the walk in leaps and liounds Come those who, hindered by cruel fate, Arrive out of breath and one minute late. And for those poor unfortunates Mr. Burtt in his office waits. But let us leave them to their remorse, And hasten onward through the course Of studies, varied till — oh, jovful word! The hell for recess time is heard. And the halls are filled with noisy feet. As downstairs he rushes his lunch to eat. But all too soon recess is o’er. And upstairs to his lessons he climbs once more. When after a short time that efficient hell The pleasant hour 1:05 does tell. And homeward he runs to eat and play. And then get those lessons for the next day. Oh! surely how can anyone claim That the course of a Freshman’s life is tame? And if for variety one does sigh.

(iarolyn Bennett was chosen ])ianist. — o — In the campaign to raise money with which to buy hooks for the soldiers who are in camp, and also for those who are already “somewhere in France,” the sum of $17.68 was donated by the pupils of the Arlington High School. — o — On Thursday evening a chorus of two hundred High School j)U])iIs assend)led in front of the school and marched in a torch- light jjrocession to the Town Hall, where they sang at the send-ofl given the drafted men of Arlington. They sat on a raised platform on the stage, and every one had a small American flag. They sang “Ameri- ca” and “The U. S. A. Forever.” When they came to the chorus of the latter, each one waved his flag, making a very pretty and striking scene. — o — ■ We started our new year on September 11 with a school considerably smaller than it was last spring, resulting largely from the great number of hoys who had not re- turned from farming and to existing con- ditions. The enrollment of most of the high schools and colleges this year has been much lower than it was last year, owing to the fact that many of the older hoys have gone to the war, and not a few of the younger to work. The decrease in the Arlington High School is proportion- ate with these conditions, hut even so we now nuni l)er 662. Some school ! o A BOX FOR MR. CROSS. The Junior Class is planning to send a Christmas box to Captain George I. Cross and the men of his comj)any. The girls are knitting sweaters, scarfs, mittens, and other things to keep the soldiers warm, while most of the hoys intend to give “cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, oi chewing gum” to help take the men’s minds ofl their hardships. Several of the members of the class also bought hooks, at a sj)ecial sale in Boston, to put in the box. Don’t forget a copv of the Constitution, Juniors! o A. H. S. FARMERS. When the State called for its farmers, there was a general response. The A. H. S. hoys were right there again and took badges for farm work. They served the State and A. H. S. with energy and ambi- tion. Let me tell you about one trio, Jamaica John, Billy, and Butcher. We worked side by side through rain and heat all summer. We made a mistake now and then, as the time one of us was ordered to collect all the hoes for the team, and care- fully got all the rubber ho e together! Our work was varied. We carried pipe, mowed hay, jjlanted and in the course of THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 23 time picked tomatoes, planted cabbages, celery, lettuce, squasb, and beets. Mr. Wallace came once to visit us. Our em- ployer seemed well satisfied with our lab- ors, but we were glad to get back again to A. H. S. G. Hommel, ’19. o THE FACULTY. We are proud indeed that one of our faculty who has done so much for the school is now serving his country and us in such a s|)lenditl way. Mr. Cross is now Captain of Company F of the 101st En- gineers, and sailed for the war regions in September with his 250 men. We feel a personal interest in his success and well- being, and earnestly hope that he and all his men may return safely to us after the ellicient service they will give. Mr. Fong also has entered his country’s service. He is at Ayer with Battery F, 301st Regiment, Field Artillery. Last August our friend and former teacher, Mrs. Ethel Wood, was married to Mr. Carl B. Conner of Hill, New Hamj)- shire. We certaiidy miss her, but we know our loss is her gain, or at least Mr. Con- ner’s gain, and with all our hearts we wish her happiness in her new home. We welcome several new teachers, whom we hope already realize that we are glad to have them with us: Miss O’Neill and Mr. Sullivan to the Commercial Department; M iss Douglas and Miss Bigelow to the English Department; Miss Hyde to the Science Department; Miss Rand to the Latin Department. Although we shall not be fortunate enougb to bave Miss Heard come to us as our musicaF director, we are glad she is living in Arlington, and hope she will visit us often. HOUSEHOLD CHEMISTRY. The new course in Household Chemistry, a required subject in the Household Arts course, but an elective for any Jutiior or Senior girl, is an endeavor to apply chem- istry to the home. Most of the mathematics and equation part of chemistry is elimin- ated and the experimental work brought as close to the home as possible. Experiments are such as: the study of the simjjle ele- ments; the conq)arative costs of cooking by gas and electricity; the testing of milk and foodstulls; the slutlying ami detecting of atlulterations in food; the chemistry of combustion, etc. No ])ievious scientific training is required to lake this course, and for practical utilitarian value the study is surely worth while. o IT BAYS TO ADVERTISE. A few weeks ago we witnessed a very interesting and also successful advertising campaign in our school. The blackboards on one Monday morning were arrayed in all their glory with catchy ads. lor our high school j)aper, I’liE Clarion. The ad- vertising continued for a whole week, one day’s ads. leading up to the next, and fur- nishing the school from day to day with amusement as well as food for thought. It brought results, for we diil belter on our subscriptions than last year. The dials in the front hall gave the week a fitting climax to the canq)aign. There was a dial for each class in school, and through these dials our school was told how each was doing as to subscrip- tions. Where were the budding hopes of the Arlington High, the Freshman class? They lagged (juite far in the rear of the other classes, but we are hoping for something better from them in the future. 24 THE AIHJXHTON IIK'.II SCHOOL CLARION THE OC PRINCIPAL’S • � or COLUMN The editors of the Clarion have very considerately granted to the principal a column of their worthy pajjer for his use. He is not sure whether it is a privilege or a task, for it means that every other month the responsibility falls u|)on him of writ- ing something u'orth reading, and that is no small task. So much is written that is not worth reading — not in this paper — that he hesitates. However, he gladly welcomes the o])])ortunity of expressing to his young friends, the pupils of the Arlington High School, his deep aj)j)ieciation of the cor- dial welcome which they have given him, anil the spirit of co-ojieration which they have manifested. I was asked hy a friend recently what feature of the Arlington High School im- pressed itself upon me most vividly. There was no hesitation in the reply: “The Ar- lington school S{)irit.” It was with no little pride that I described the willing res])onse of the pu]dls to the requests which were made of them, the admirable attitude disjilayed hy them to their teach- ers, and the kindly good-nature which pre- vailed throughout the school. He was jiar- ticularly imjiressed with the wonderful showing made liy the Athletic Association, in which over 8.5 |)er cent, of the enroll- ment volunteered to contribute five cents per week to wipe out the athletic debt. His remarks in conclusion were of a most flattering nature, hut in no way exagger- ated, and he envied me, I think, my place as the head of such a school. He had a good right to enthuse. The spirit of the Arlington High School is splendid. It brings about that collective co-o])eration which jnoduces results; it lessens the wear and tear of teaching very greatly; it brings about that happy rela- tion between teacher and j)U|)il, which is so valuable to a hoy or girl of high school age. We must all use our best efforts to maintain this school s])irit, for school spirit is merely the youthful jihase of com- munity sjiirit, which in turn develops into state sjiirit, and this, broadened and deep- ened, becomes a national spirit or jiatriot- ism, and without that no nation can sur- vive.

Beginning with the school, we have for post-graduates: Ethel Burt, Charles Ken- nedy, Beatrice Young, Fay Brackett, Her- bert Collins, Laura Allen, Ruth Sparks, John Lyons, Parry Reiche, Helen Seasley, Malcolm Dodge, and Grace Donohue. We have in the Navy Whytal Bennett and with Army Joseph Gahm. The following are continuing their edu- cation in higher institutions: David Snow, Milton Estahrook, at Tufts; Nelson Jost, Paul H azeltine, Walter Chamlierlain, Bos- ton University; Harold Pick, Joseph M. Gary, Rose Bennett, Burdett College; Samuel Hatfield, Edward and Theodore Schwamb, Chauncey Hall; Justin McCar- thy, Ralph Stevans, Massachusetts Aggie; James Donnelly, Maine f iiiversity; Gert- rude Viano, Trinity College; John Viets, Stanley Kellogg, Theodore Pierce, Har- vard; Josiah Crosby, Laurence Chellis, Technology; Julia Currier, Wellesley; Carol Massack, Jackson; Constance Tay- lor, Simmons. As far as we know, this is the comjilete list of students of the Class of ’17 at col- lege or continuing their training. Our next issue will take up those working, and also those in the colleges that we have failed to get this time. o HEARD IN A RE.STAURANT.

We shall endeavor to keep in touch with them and send them the Clarion each month, that they may know what is going on in their old school. News from home will brighten many dark hours, and when they have spare time to write and tell us their doings and little personal adventures ( providing the censor will permit them), we will print them in the Clarion each month. This will give the pupils a broader idea of what our hoys’ work consists of. Above you will find two statements, one of approval from Mr. Minard, which gives you very good reasons why this should he carried out, and the other a statement of General Pershing, telling what kind of lit- erature should he sent across. The Clar- ion, we feel, meets these requirements, and if it doesn’t it can be made to do so by your co-operation. This month a partial Honor Roll will be found, and a letter of great interest. Regarding the Honor Roll, we wish to say that many names that were handed in were incomplete, and we trust that neces- sary corrections will be made for next issue.

He has been in the service since the earlier part of the summer, and is now a memher of the Marine Detachment on the L SS. St. Louis, at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. “I am surelv glad to hear from you and through vou from the old town. Where are all the hoys? Odie, Steve, and all the rest? Have they all enlisted? What has become of Holde Baker? When you write me again send me all the ‘dope’ about them you can, to use patois. “About the Marines. Th e Marine Corps is peace time numbers 15,000 enlisted men, while at its full war strength it contains 30,000. “A marine recruit puts in from twelve to fifteen weeks of training as a regular infantry soldier, after which he can pick out his own line, for the marines have all THE AHEIXGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLAIHOX kinds of companies — machine gun, light and heavy artillery, signal, searchlight, mine laying, and even one of cavalry in Cuba. The marines also have their own aviation corps. “Every ship (that is, a battleship) in the navy is entitled to a complement of ma- rines, ranging from twenty-five men under a sergeant to 250 men under a cajitain; in a fleet the marines may he organized into a battalion under a major. “The marines aboard ship are used for guard duty and landing forces. They also man the three-inch guns and anti-aircraft guns, and on some ships they man the six- inch guns besides. Whatever gave you the impression that we had no hiking to do? Every other morning we do our little ten miles in heavy marching order. The other morning we have regular drill — that is, we have general inspection under arms, then regimental or battalion jiarade, and then drill. In the afternoon we sometimes have boat drill or signal drill, street riot drill, or the new British bayonet drill, or prac- tice in trench fighting. I like it fine down here. Our work lasts from seven A. M. until 3. .50 p. M., after which we scrub our dirty clothing, and then go down to town for the movies, or else drop in to the Y. M. to see what’s going on. o Arlington, Mass. Oct. 2.3, 1917. Dear Editor-. — You have asked me what I am doing at present towards becoming an aviator, and I regret to say that 1 am only one of hun- dreds of young men who have successfully passed the examinations and physical tests, and are now anxiously awaiting their turn to enter a “ground school.” I will try and give you an idea, however, of the duties of an airplane student. The physical examination determines by means of a whirling chair and various 2i) other devices whether a man has what is called a sixth sense, or a sense of balance so necessary to a flyer. Without this he cannot pass. Then after passing the men- tal examination, which discloses one’s knowledge and education, aiul being ac- cejiteil by the examining hoard, he is en- tered on a list of names of men available for ground school. He attends a ground school for eight weeks, studying such subjects as air cur- rents, astronomy, jrhotograjjhy, telegraphy, angles of incidence, fulminates, etc. Then comes another period of waiting until he can enter one of the flying schools. Here he perfects his knowledge of engines, and after sj)ending something like fifteen hours in the air with an instructor, is al- lowed to take the controls himself ff r short flights. Then he is given a test flight of sotne length to do alone, in which he has to visit certain j)laces shown him on a map, and, this accotn])lished, he receives a commission as first lieutenant in the Avia- tion Section Signal Corps. In a finishing school he learns to use a machine gun and to loop the loop, take nose dives, spirals, and all the fancy tricks useful in an aerial battle. Then he may he assigned to one of three branches of the air service: the homhing aeroj)lane, a big, unwieldy machine capalde of carrying great weights, hut slow in speed; the ob- servation aeroj)lane, a smaller, faster ma- chine for scouting purposes; or a fighting plane, the small, incredibly swift, high- jiowered machine, which forms the so- called “cavalry of the air” for the protec- tion of the first two types. In closing, I should like to rej eat that I am still among those who are waiting their turn, as many of my friends seem to take it for granted that I am already more at home in the air than on terra-firma. Sincerely yours, Lawrence G. King. 30 'I'HE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CI.ARION “I suppose you are wondering if we ever eat.

A very large part of the class had no idea. Many a high school ])upil could not tell you the name of the President of France or even that of our Secretary of State. There are too many of us who are not called upon in school to take note of what is happening in the world to-day, and who take so little inter- est in it that we know practically nothing of the present conditions. It seems almost foolish that hours upon hours are sj)ent in school learning of what happened three thousand miles away, two thousand years ago, hut not a j)eriod to sludv what is going on in our own day. It certaiidy is right that we should know of Caesar and William the Conqueror, hut surely. Wood- row Wilson and Floyd George should not he forgotten altogether. For the same reason that it is worth our while to study the former, it is much more worth our while to know of the latter. And merely because we are in high school we are ex- ])ected to appear fairly intelligent, and a j)erson who knows nothing of what is hap- pening in the world aljout him is not a credit to any school. Surely, we can all develop some interest in these things. o ICE CREAM AND THE WAR It has been suggested that on account of existing conditions no ice cream should he served at the Senior Social, which is due the first of February. Ferhaj)s the war does call for some sacrifice on onr part. But why must the ice cream go? Refreshments are j)artaken of and appre- ciated by everyone, hut dancing, on the other hand, is engaged in by compara- tively lew. Why not economize by doing away with the cost of hired musicians, and either omit the dancing or provide the music ourselves? If it is thought best let us have no ice cream, hut surely the exj)ense of music for dancing which does not interest half of those present should also he done away with! o MR. MENARD The Clarion is glad to he able to repro- duce in this nund)er a })hotograph of our Suijerinteiulent. For over a year Mr. Minard has been iu Arlington, and during that time has made himself much liked ami very popular with us. So much so, indeed, that we can say with a certainty that while the school will certainly l)e glad to see his picture in these pages, it would very much aj)preciate a chance to see the original and to hear Irom him more often at assembly. On behalf of the school we extend the invitation to you, Mr. Minard! — o — d’ake note of the C,larion’s first Fresh- man theme: “A Visit from Santa Claus.” A Visit from Santa Claus There was a rustling sound in the vicin- ity of my fire])lace, a slight fall of soot, and Santa Claus stood before me. He was pale, and seemed somewhat anxious and worried. “Hello, old hoy,” said I, holding out my hand in greeting. “How’s everything? Mighty glad to see you.” He smiled and breathed a deep sigh of relief. “I’m glad,” he said, shaking my hand. “I was afraid you wouldn't he.” “Afraid I wouldn’t be glad to see you,” I cried. “But why?” “1 feared ])erhai)s you might not like my new scheme,” said he. “Well,” said I, “maybe I don’t; I can’t tell until I know what your new plan is. If it is yours. I’ll wager a hundred to one it is all right.” “Well, you see,” he began hesitatingly, “you see things have gone so wretchedly with the world in the past eight months that I haven’t been able to prepare anv gifts for anyl)ody. My factories have all been turned over to the manufacture of munitions for war. It .seemed the (piickest way to peace, the sooner the armies are destroyed, the sooner there will he no- body left to fight, and jieace is hound to come. And so” — he jiaused and eyed me anxiously. “Go on,” said I, “I am deeply inter- ested.” “And so,” he went on, “I have reversed my scheme. Instead of bringing peojile things this Christmas, I have come willi empty sacks to take away the things they don’t want. It is nothing hut the ancient plan turned the other end to. If because I Tin-: ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION of circumstances over wliich I exercise no control I cannot bring joy, I can at least take away worries, nuisances, anti trials.” “By Jove, Santa Claus,” I cried, “you are a genius! Why, that idea is the grandest thing under the sun. The world has been waiting for it all these years. Do YOU really mean it?” The Wise of As the bright star shone over Bethle- hem to guide God’s chosen Wise Men to the crib where lay the child Saviour, so also it shone on all the Holy Land that night. And every village and every ham- let saw and praised its radiance in the name of the New-Born King, for whose sake it glorified the heavens. Far to the south, in the little village of Korilea, there was the greatest of all rej(ucings, lor that night was horn another child, an infant son to a huml)le shejiherd of the plains; and they called him Aliris. As the Lord Jesus outgrew his child- hood, and was aj)prenticed to the luimhle trade of his foster-father, so also Aliris became a tender of the flocks, even as his fathers luul been before him. But the life of the shepherd hoy was not one of con- tentment, for his heart was filled with great longings, and in his brain were many dreams. And then strange tales were hrought to Aliris, stories of one who made the l)lind to see, and the dead to walk, stories of a Nazarene, said to he the Son of God. “It is our Messiah!” cried he. “Why stay I here, dallying with my flocks, when my king lacks followers? I will set out and seek Him, as did the Wise Men at His birth; hut I shall he wiser than they, for they hrought only gifts to offer in His infancy, while I shall offer myself to Him in His manhood. Yea! I shall he the wisest of the Wise Men.” “1 do, indeed,” he answered, his face brightening up. “Here is my sack to prove it. and 1 have a million more of ’em out in my sleigh if this isn’t big enough.” Edwin Bowek, '21. the Wise Men So Aliris set out for Jerusalem, where he planned to join the Nazarene. He was many days and many nights on the way, hut he consoled himself with the thoughts of the wealth and glory that awaited him as a f(d lower of the true King. At last he approached the end of his journey, and as he drew- near the outskirts of the city, he saw a young man being cruelly stoned by a crowd of angry jieople. Aliris saw- that he w-as sorely jnessed, and for a moment thought to go to his aid, luit then he turned away, saying to himself: “I have no time to waste on wayside beggars. 1 must hasten; my Messiah waits!” So the shejiherd youth again look up his journey, and he entered into the cily of Jerusalem. But first he was astonished, and then seized with a great bewilderment, as he could find no trace of Him he sought. Boman soldiers he saw in plenty, haughty, domineering men, members of that army which had crushed the power of Jerusalem a short while before- After seeking vainly for a long while, Aliris approached a soldier and asked for news of the great Wondei' Worker of Nazareth. The simple shepherd was sorely amazed at the ridicule and scolling with which he was answered. Immediatelv a great anger blazed up in his soul that this ])iofane, half drunken fellow- should dare to speak so of the Christ, and he jioured forth a torrent of angry w-ords ujion the man. 8 TIIK AIU.IXGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION Then suddenly a loud noise broke in upon their dispute. Long columns oi Ho- man soldiers came marching down the street, heralded hy martial music and the clanking of Roman armor. The shep- herd was pushing forward to gain a better sight of the even ranks, when a large stone, thrown hy someone not far from him, ])assed hy his head, and striking a soldier in the nearest raidc, felled him to the earth. Immediately a mighty shout of anger arose from the soldiers, and the heavy voice of the Connnamler of Troops cried out: “Where is the villain that has dared to cast that stone? Who is he? Bring him forth!” riien a voice was heard, that of the sol- dier with whom .Aliris hail (juarrelled. “It is he! It is he! This is the offender, this vile herder of swine!” and so saying he seized the shepherd’s arm. In an instant a dozen rough hands were laid on Aliris, and amidst the shouts and curses of the Roman sympathizers, and des|)ite his every jjrotest of innocence, he was l)ound and j)laced l)etween the ranks of soldiers. “To the galleys!” cried the crowd. “They will take him to the galleys!” Ami it was as they said, for one accused of such au offence was sentenced to serve in a war galley, to sit, chained to a l)ench, and row his life away. So it came to pass that the dreamer of dreams, the seeker of glory, the Wisest of the Wise Men, had become a galley slave. I’or many months and many years Aliris labored as a galley slave, and his heart grew hitter within him. “Was it for this,” he asked himself, “that I left mv native j)lains? Is this the |)ath of glory, that one takes to follow' the King?” Then one day came the news of the cm cifixion, of the sacrifice of Calvary, and the last of his hopes died within the lieait of the shepherd. The galley which he was aboard was one of the largest in the Roman fleet, and it had made a few adventurous trips to Britain, liearing arms and soldiers to that partly conquered country. Because he was a strong hand at the oar Aliris was kept aboard the ship, slight offenses being charged against him to lengthen his term, until his overwrouglit and dulling senses saw stretching before him endless years of slavery. On returning from one trip to Britain, when they had been hut a few hours on their homeward w'ay, there arose a terrible storm. The galley was driven far from her couse, and difted up to the wild, rocky coast of Northern Britain. Two days the storm raged, and on the second even- ing the captain commanded that the galley slaves should he loosed from their benches, so that all might have an equal chance for life. What they feared came to } ass that night, for the galley was lost, and the men went dowm to their deaths, some with prayers, and some with curses, and others with the calm, set faces of those who ex- pect to meet no God in judgment. But Aliris met not his death with the crew, for he clung desperatelv to a drifting spar, and after being tossed about among the waves he was at last cast uj) on a tinv beach among the rocks. Although he was bruised and battered, life still lingered in the shepherd, and realizing his predica- ment, he cried aloud, cursing his fate, and calling himself the forgotten of God. But then a still, thin voice within his soul seemed to call to him, saying: “y liris, oh Aliris, hast thou forgotten Him Who suffered for thy sins, thy Lord Wdio died uj)on the Cross?” The shepherd was silenced, and many long-forgotten things passed before his THE ahei (;tox high school clarion 9 eyes. He saw a youth being stoned out- side the gates of Jerusalem, and he beat his breast in anguish; he saw a face, drawn in jjain, with blood dripping from the woumls made by a crown of thorns, and he moaned aloud in his contrition. “Oh, my God!” he cried, “Thou wilt never pardon me for having lost sight of Thee in my blind (juest for glory.” Then a gentle murmuring arose within his heart, and a whisper came: “Forgive them. Father, for they know not what they do.” So a great peace spread over the soul of Aliris, and he said: “Surely God will he merciful, for mine eyes were blinded and I saw not the true path, the only path by which one may reach God, the way of the humble.” So, after many years, and far from the land of his birth, Aliris at last had found his Christ. And lying there on the rocks he raised a prayer of thankfulness to his God, for his search had cotne to an end, and he could at last by means of his true faith, offer himself to the Lord. The wild night passed, and in all the calm glory of a peaceful dawn the sun came up over the distant mountains, and cast down its golden rays to bathe the rocks whereon the still form of the shep- herd lay. But he had no need to rise and greet the coming day, for the soul of Aliris was speeding on to meet his Christ ! Clara Allen, To. — o — THE SPIRIT OF NEW ENGLAND Somewhere in old New England By the fire’s ruddy glow, Sits an old, white-haired veteran Thinking of the long ago. When he with many others Gladly answered Lincoln’s call. And left home ami all his loved ones That his country might not fall. And now somewhere over yonder. On Europe’s blood-stained earth. Is his son so bravely fighting For the land that gave him birth. And as he gazes at the picture Of his hoy so staunch and true. Cries in a voice that rings with passion, “Son, I’m ])roud of you!” And as did this white-haired father. Must we put away our sorrow And he proud of our lads who have gone To make the world safe for the morrow. And as our ships leave harbor. Each with its j)recious crew. Loudly will ring the veteran’s cry, “Boys, we’re jjroud of you!” Charlotte Butler, ’Id, o What 1 Have Learned from “Captains of Indu ry” From the reading of “Captains of In- dustry” I have learned that if one is sure of the results he wants to obtain or the position to which he aspires, and works for that result or position, unceasingly, and without getting discouraged, he is hound to succeed. The (jualities needed to do this are: grit, courage, endurance, intelligence, alertness, and willingness to learn. Many a man who has all the other (jualities, hut lacks endurance, will, after a series of discouragements, break down at the crit- ical moment. The way to succeed is l)y always having the object to which you aspire in front of II) Till-: ARrjxc.Tox iiir.ii sciioor. Cl.ARIOX you and to he always striving to reach it, inoiniting over all obstacles and discour- agements, ever striving onward with this object in view until you have reached it. To succeed in anything you must give it your full attention. Be always working on it. It takes a genius to divide his at- tention between two or more things and to succeed in them. Don't take such a chance as to think you are a genius. Even though 1 have learned not to rate one’s .self as a genius I have also learned to have full confitlence in one’s j)Owers and ability to succeed, and to continually strengthen this confidence hv perfecting one’s self in one’s own line. John Erickson, ’20. That Dark Night We were all sitting around the fireplace on Christmas Eve, roasting chestnuts, when my ohiest brother turned to me and said, “Tomorrow’s Christmas and the tur- kev has not vet been killed for dinner; so bring the lantern and come with me while I wring his neck, Jolm.” I got the lantern and lighted it, whilst my brother donned his hat and coat. W e started off, and I led the way for a raid on the flock of turkeys under the shed. Here a large pile of wood filled the open sjjace, thus making a sjilenditl roosting j)lace for them. There they were jierched, looking as grave and demure as owls. I’o my fnother, the wringing of the bird’s neck was not at all tasteful; hut, summoning courage, he grabbed the fattest looking one in both hands. Wdth triumjih in his eye, he bore the unhappy victim into the o])en sjiace. Then he wrung the neck with might and main. When sure dial every spark of life was gone, he ihrew' him on the ground for dead. The turkey would not consent to die and he roasted for our Christmas linner on the morrow. So almost as soon as he touched die ground, he fled wdth a defiant gobble, lie hid from the rays of the lantern, and so escaped the slaughter of that dark night. My brother was too astonished for a few moments to comprehend what had happened; hut looking at his hands, he soon discovered why the turkey wms not dead, lie had wrung off his tail feathers instead of his head. Averil Niven, ’20. o CHRISTMAS OE 1917 It will he a new kind of Christmas that will come to us this vear. A Christmas of giving and receiving to he sure, and that is what Christmases have always been; hut there will he a new' thought, and a new feeling in it. Giving this year will he clone with a purpose, and a seriousness that will mean well for us, a nation. We are giving as we never gave before to our Allies and our hoys in Europe And since Christmas is a celebration of the liirth of Him who died on Calvary this will he the truest kind of a celebra- tion; because all Eurojre is a kind of Cal- vary, and our souls are torn with its an- guish. But, like the glory that came out of the agonies of Calvary two thousand years ago, a glory will also come out of the agonies of the present great struggle and a spiritual awakening will envelop the world.

THE AIHJXGTON IIK’.II SCHOOL CLARION 11 Our Alumni Our Iasi issue j)riiite(l the names of those of the Class of 1917 who liacl gone to higher institutions to improve their mental ability. In this issue we will endeavor to give a list of a few of those who have gone out into the business world to u])hold the name of the Arlington High School. The John Hancock Insurance Co. claims the most among them, employing Evelyn Chamberlain, Edith Davis, Dorothy Jordan, Mildred Wadman, Evelyn Lake, Doris Chauvin, Helen Sampson, Lina Edwards, Josephine Stearns, Gladys Whelpley, Don- ald Slrout and Hazel Kimball. Gordon Higgins and Harold Cahalin are in differ- ent large hanking establishments; Louis Patriquin with a wool company; Daniel Clilford is with a large shoe manufacturing concern, Everett; Anna McNichol, Lhiited Drug Co.; Margaret Sexton, New England 'hel. Tel. Co.; Daniel Sexton is down in Newport in an ammunition factory; Nora Kelley, Carney Ins. Co.; Milton Estahrook has left Tufts College and is now working in Arlington; Margaret Kenney is in the State House auto department; Lucrelia Kellogg is staying at home. This list, the names already mentioned, and those of our hoys ill service, completes the list of those that we have been able to get in touch with. We are glad to hear that Justin McCar- thy has been elected treasurer and Ralph Stevens Vice-I’resident of their Freshman Class at Mass. Aggie. William Robinson, ’16, who was holding a responsible position in the Lnited Tire Co., has enlisted and is now in South Caro- lina.

Collins. o A Holiday Card From the assorted collection of mail re- jiosing on my plate, I first opened a del- icately tinted envelope, decorated with holly so expressive of Christmas cheer. J'he enclosed card was a charming one, re- flecting the sunny nature of the artist. In- stinctively I glanced at the initials in the corner and found those of mv former class- mate in the drawing department. Since Allie had moved to an ol)scure Vermont village, she had sent many paint- ings to me, |)ieferring to convey the charm of her new surroundings I)y Ijrush rather than by jien. Glancing again at the card, I noted with appreciation the dainty j)ink and cream- colored background, with the same colors faintly reflected in the tiny woodland ])ond. Along a road of broken drifts two ] eople api)ioachetl, the man dragging a young fir tree, and the bright-cheeked girl fairly enveloped by the foliage. She car- ried ])ine branches and cones, holly, and mistletoe. 12 TIIK ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION At the foot of a smooth hill nestled a tiny gray house, its windows ablaze with the light of many candles. One fancied that in those glowing rooms many Imndles of various shapes were stored. A sense of mystery was present. Merry children might have been stringing j)opcorn, crack- ing nuts, and decorating the homey walls with fragrant houghs. To complete the picture the glowing hearth should reveal the shining fruit, the tempting pastries, and the abundant supply of vegetables ar- rayed upon the dresser. Indeed the clever little landscape held many possibilities to me; and for a time I envied my friend who was to take active ])art in observing a real, old-fashioned Christmas. Helen Thompson, ’20. o — DEMOCRACY 'i ears ago in a lowly stall. Sheltered only by tottering wall. By straw surrounded andcob-webbedgloom. Crowded by beasts and in w'ant of room. The Christ-Child came to save mankind. lie came to tell the race of man Of the ])ower of God and the strength of His hand. To him alone should the knee be bent And tribute paid and honor spent; So came the Christ-Child and gave his all. And now another child is come. Heralded only by booming gun. By ruin surrounded and anxious hearts. Longed for by men with Freedom’s marks. Democracy comes to save mankind! It comes to tell the race of man Of the triumph of justice over the land, riiat the greed and lust of one mortal king Shall never crush this God-sent thing.

As its last stroke was borne away into the silent night, the white- robed Spirit of Christmas spread over all the Christian earth its far-reaching wings and breathed into the darkest and deepest recesses the essence of cheer, hope, and eternal faith. Long had it been heralded and many were the hearts into which it would penetrate, imbuing them with peace and good will.

FIELD HOCKEY NOTES The boys of Arlington High are not the only ones who are helping to |)iit athletics on to]), for the girls are adding to the name of our school, a successful career in Eield Hockey. The Girls’ Eield Hockey team enter- tained the Winthro]) girls at Spy Pond Eield on Nov. 2, 1917. The game started at .‘3 o’clock. Both teams j)layed a snaj)j)y game, and the Winthro])s came off the held victorious. T1 le score was I to .'3. At- tendance 200. o Arlington, 2; Lexington 1 The Arlington High School Girls’ held hockey team journeyed to Lexington on Nov. 7, to jilay the game with the Lexing- ton team. At the heginning of the game, the Lexington girls seemed to lie the fa- vorites, hut an accident gave the Arling- ton girls a chance to show their ability. After a hard and strenuous fight, they suc- ceeded in ])Utting the hall over their line twice, and the Lexington girls made one score. This is the first time in live years that the Arlington girls were able to de- leat them. Goals for Arlington were made by G. Lovett and IL Stickney, for Lexing- ton, iM. Vianno. Attendance, 2.50. On Nov. 19, the girls’ field hockey team journeyed to Newton to ])lay a very im- portant contest. The Arlington girls went on the field with great peji, scoring the first goal a short time after the whistle had lilown. Newton evened up matters, hut this put more life into the Arlington girls and they scored two more jioinis. The score was .'5 to 2. Attendance SOI). Thursday, Nov. 22, the girls entertained their old rival Lexington, on the home ground. The girls were very anxious to take this contest, as it meant another step towards the coveted goal, the State Chani- ])ionshij). The Arlington girls fought hard, hut were humhled, by the score of .“3 to 1 ; hut it was not until they had let the Lexington girls know that they had been in some battle. Attendance 100. o Arlington 4; Winchester 2 On December .3rd, the Arlington girls’ liehl hockey team defeated the Winchester team by a score of J. to 2. flie Winches- ter girls w-ere outplayed at every |)ositioii, and had the condition of the held been I etter, the Arlington girls would have run up a larger score. Goals: Arlington, 11. Wadinan 2, M. Wing, E. Ilolierts. d ime: 20 -minute halves. Attendance 100. i i ■i ! t 14 THK AHUXGTOX HIGH SCHOOL CLAHIOX FOOTBALL Weymouth, 26; Arlington, 0 Arlington High football team suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of Weymouth on their home grounds. The game can well he blamed on the jinx, for it was ])layed on a Friday. Although Weymouth held the big end of the score, the Arlington boys feel confident that they could have beaten their opponents if they had ])layed on Spy Pond Field. A few clever forwards were got away with by Wevmouth, and on two of these, touch- downs were registered. Talbot and Ma- honey played to the stands for Weymouth, hut Arlington’s individual star was old “Charlie Horse,” or rather “Hard Luck.” Lowell, 21 ; Arlington, 0 This is the second time Arlington has “hit the dust” this vear. Lowell had a heavier, more exjierienced team than Ar- lington, and so helped herself to the lion’s share. Lowell tried very hard to make the score larger, hut found Arlin . ton wasn’t quite as easy as she thought. Ad- ams, the keystone of the defense line, played a good game. In the hackfield, Silver and Cadigan played up to their usual standards. Damon, the other hack- field man, ])lays great football for a be- ginner and is sure of a jilace on the varsity team next year. Quite a few of the first string men w'ere down, so Arlington playetl with a patched-up defense line. Arlington, 71; Belmont, 0 After two defeats Arlington “came hack” and struck Belmont a K. O. straight from the shoulder. It was a comedy in four acts, namelv two ten and two eight-minute ]ieriods. When Captain John A. Cadigan can run the length of the field through the entire Belmont team, it’s time for Belmont to start ])ractising field hockey. The line consisted of mostly second string men. Gallagher, a new candidate, has proved his worth. He was in the midst of it at every play and nailed every tackle that came near him. He’s jiro- moted now to a regular berth on the first team. o Winchester, 6; Arlington, 0 It is some consolation to know that Ar- lington died fighting. Silver’s rushes were again the bright spot in Arlington’s game. All of the hoys played good football, but they couldn’t seem to overcome their bit- terest rivals. o Woburn Game Called Off The Arlington-Wohurn game scheduled for Thanksgiving Day had to he called off, as the field was blanketed under two inches of damp snow. Then the game was jiostponed till the following Monday, hut it rained jiitchforks, so Manager Ralph Adams called it off again. o ICE HOCKEY Hockey is now the headliner. The first call was issued and forty “would-be” ath- letes resjionded. Things look good for Arlington. Captain Boh Gillespie is the only veteran. The first game is Christmas Day with the Alumni. o ' PIANO MOVING We are now m jiosition to move pianos, safes, etc., cheaper and more (juickly than any of our comjietitors because of the size of our company W ILLIS SISTERS, PEALE, AND KING THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOI. CLARION l.j MILITARY DEPARTMENT Uncle Sam’s Representatives From Arlington High U. S. S. Virginia, c o Postmaster, N. Y., Nov. 29, 1917. Dear Miss Manner: I finished my Thanksgiving dinner about an hour ago and I just now got an inspiration, namely, to write you. I have thought of you a number of times and I have started to go sit down to write to you when some little thing would come up and I would have to drop everything and by the time I had the jol) done I would find my ambition to write gone. Yesterday I saw a copy of “ColomIra,” the French hook we had at school, and the desire came to me to be hack walking along the halls of old A. II. S. with an armful of hooks headed for some recita- tion which in days gone by I used to dread, hut which would seem like heaven now. I suppose there are a number of new faces in the school and I’ll bet there are plenty to take the places of those who were in the halrit of being sent from the room (through no fault of their own?). Weil do I remember the days when 1 would come to class with lesson unpre- pared, and then I would he sent to the ollice feeling that the teacher had it in for me. I didn’t realize at the time that it was for my own good, hut now that 1 know it is toe late. I am connected with the radio force of this ship and I find the work (piite inter- esting. 1 used to he on watch with a fel- low from A. H. S., Fred McNamara, aiul it was (piite interesting, for we could talk over old times; hut now he is gone else- where. Peahud is on here and we get a chance to get together and talk about our schooldays, hut just at present he is on a furlough, so I have no old-time Iriend to talk to. The crew on here is made up largely of Greater Boston hoys about my own age, and it is quite interesting, for you do not know what day you are going to run across some fellow who has played against you in interscholastic contests. I have had this happen several times, and I have picked up a numher of friends in this manner. We are not allowed to say anything aliout movements of the shiji or work as regards watches, etc. But I guess there is no harm done when I say that since the ship left Boston last August I have been ashore a total of L5 hours. Not much like when I was at home. I saw by the paper that the football team had quite a successful season, and 1 guess from re])orts that the girls were far from being in the background when it comes to field hockey. Here’s ho])ing the ice-hockey team will keep u|) the good work, as I have hoj)es of seeing them i)lay at least one of their games this winter. Well, I guess there is not much more to say just now, so will close, hoping to hear from you soon. Your sincere friend, William Kiulin. Please rememher me to the other mem- bers of the faculty whom I know. o The following letter was received at home from Wilfred Hurley, ’15, who is now serving with Battery A, 101st f ield Artillery. At last I am here in France and that IG Tin-: ARLIXC.TOX HIGH SCHOOL CLAHIOX is all 1 can tell you, as tlie censor rules are very strict. Our trip across was one that 1 shall never forget. Our ship was one of the largest, and of course we expected that the ‘suhs’ would lay for us. But we didn’t see one, and I tell you I was (lisapj)ointed. Of course no lights were allowed on deck after dark and we even had to turn our illuininated face watches down, so you see how strict the rules were. Vi' hen we arrived in England we took a train and after ritling all day we made camp, and the next morning we ])repared for our trip to France. We left England at night and the next moridng we were in France. We then took anotlier train, and after riding two nights and a day we ar- rived at camp. This is a very large camp, with many French soldiers and German prisoners. Our food is very plain, but I am leeling line. Just think of eating out in a hig field with the wind and rain in your lace, and a jdate of beef stew and hard tack. Well, that was my Sunday dinner. We are now fairlv well settled ami get- ting ilown to hard work. For the past week I have been working with the Snpjdy Ollicer, and have liad great experience in issuing rations and supplies to the entire regiment. My knowledge of French has hrought me in contact Avith many of the French ollicers and I enjoy talking with them. So far, at least, war is not hall as had as Sherman said it was. I Avish you would sentl me some choco- late, and some razor blades. The doctors kee)) a strict Avatch over us and Ave have been Avarned not to eat anything outside camp. There is a great deal of disease here, and even in camp Ave have had several cases of stomach j)oisoning. “I have often heard that France is a beautiful country, hut so far Ave have not seen any of its beauty. The surrounding country here is in ruins partly from the Avar and partly from age and neglect. Some of the houses Avere standing Avhen Napoleon ruled and there are manv marks ol the Kevolution still to he seen. “Write often and tell all my friends to do so, lor letters are the one thing Avhich Ave all look for. I Avill Avrite you as often as 1 can, although Ave don’t have much time to ourselves. So uoav 1 Avill say cm revoir, Avith the hope that I will soon re- turn to one of your good dinners Avith plenty of pie and cake. “'tour soldier son, “Wilfred Hurley.” o THANKS 1 Avish to thank the jnijAils for their do- nations and Clarions as it Avill help greatly toward making this de})aitment a success. Fetters Avhich Ave are receiving all ask for news from home, so that, sending the) Clarion Avill he greatly appreciated l)y all the hoys. The honor roll is not yet com- plete because the information as to their locations has not been obtained. So far Arlington High has shoAvn the jnoper spirit and I am sure Ave shall not lag liehind in any task placed before us. In the coming issues Ave shall have the great honor of hearing what the foremost men of this country think of us. Don’t forget the hig things coming. Respectfully, Charles F.

THE AHF.INGTON HIGH SCHOOL GLAIHOX 23 Who’s Who In The Arlington High School Rebecca Stickney liebecca Stickney is a Senior, young, liapj)y, and gootl looking. She has had a very successful career on the held hockey team. For two years she has j)layed half- hack and this year she is captain. There is always with her a little spirit — in her manner, in her sj)eaking, and in her play- ing— it is always there and active. It is that little sjjirit we hear so much oi and which we all feel; it is the A. H. S. spirit. — o — John Cadagan Familiarly known as “Red” — dignified .Senior — caj)tain of the hasehall and loot- hall teams — a nifty hasehall as well as football player — and the best part oi it is that he is not “pulfed u|)” about it. “Red” is singularly inclined toward his studies, Spanish especially. Ills tavorile motto is: “The only difference hetweeen work and play is the attitude you bring to it!” His jjopularity is not conlined to the school, hut to all who know him. Aider- man of his “ward” by unanimous consent — our hats are off to you, “Red”! — o — Parks Odenvveller There was a lot of commotion. And I wondered what it was. Pupils pressed to the wall! I.eaving a pathway down the hall! I asked somebody, “What’s the cause?” He said he didn’t know what ’twas. Then I saw a figure of stature tall. Coming down the breathless hall! Who might this tall “feller” he? Why, Otienweller, plain to see! “O.lenweller !” rang out the cheer, “Football hero of the year!” The Gym Oh, yes! (jym is great stuff! The rope climbing exercises greatly strengthen the muscles ol the lower lindis. The monkey is the ideal in that. The Indian clubs in- crease the suppleness of the wrists, so some day we’ll see our classmates as snake charmers in a circus. Going hand over hand on the boom has its place, too. It’s rumored that some girls are ))erfecting this hand climbing so they may l)e great movie stars and rivals of the heroine in the “Mys- teries of Myra.” Rut, best of all, you should see them march! Such even col- umns! Wdiy, when the command is given: “Form lours, by the left ohli([ue, march!” you’d really think a mouse had appeared, there’s such a commotion. Rul, then, ihev’re no worse than their fathers and uncles in the home guard, and they may he nselul in instructing their brothers how to shoulder a gun, because really, they “have wands in gym, and sometimes they march with them on their shoulders.” Too had, hoys, you really miss a lot when you miss gym! — o — FI.IVFR JOKE BOOKS A 1. 1, THE Best Stories Sonie of lliK’in Funny F.

AIARPLE 49th St., Arlington THE AFUJNGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 2. ) THE PRINCIPAL’S COLUMN SCHOOL ADVERTISING It had been a bitterly fought contest. The football teams of two rival schools had just finished their annual game, and one had lieen victorious over the other by a score of six to nothing. It was “the game of the season” for both schools and feeling had run high. Both teams had given the best they had in behalf of their respective schools, and it was oidy after a grovelling struggle that the victors had managed to j)Ut the ball over, and both sides were comjdetely exhausted. The cheering had died away, the throng has dispersed, and the captain of the win- ning team, having resumed his street clothes, stood outside the locker building, waiting for his comrades. A young man in muddy football togs came around the corner of the building, went uj) to the suc- cessful leader, grasped him bv the hand, and in the most hearty manner exclaimed: “Well, we had a lively game, didn’t we? on won because you were just a little bit belter than we were. Next year 1 hope we go at it again and then we will do our best to l)eat you!” The one addressed thanked him hoy fashion for his kind words, and then the defeateil captain, for it was he, went oil. Two of us grown-ups, who luul witnessed the game, overheard the conversation, and the one said to the other, the writer of this, by the way: “That was a mighty good advertisement for his school, wasn’t it?” I had to agree with him. I had never thought of it that way l)efore, but a little reflection told me that the athletic teams are really one kind of school advertise- ment. For they are the organizations which represent the school before the pub- lic; they ] ut into practice the athletic spirit and policy of the school, and at times blacken the reputation of an excel- lent school by unsportsmaidike acts lor which the school is not res])onsible. Arlington High has been fortunate in its advertisements this fall. With boys and girls notbing of a regrettable nature has occurred. We have not had to ex- plain or to apologize. So far as I know, every school with whom we have played will be glad to give us a game next year. While we have not won every game, at least we have left a good imj)ression. We ha e not accuseil the ollicials nor (juarreled with the numagenient. Our teams have been sj)ortsmanlike at all times, and never has the school had reason to lie ashamed. In appraising the results of the season, it is well to keeji these facts in mind, for they do not ajijiear in the score, and scores are not always the standard by which a team should be judged.

Without having had to cut Iown on our sports we have been steadily jraying up what we owed at the rate of over twentv dollars a week. Our athletics will soon he on a firm financial basis as they always should have been. We don’t want our teams to play behind the game, and neither should we he behind the game in suj)porting them. It’s bad business as well, and Mr. Burtt has acted wisely in calling upon us to clear up this old debt. The school has responded nobly with its nickels, and has showed that it is heart and soul, and, what is sometimes more to the point, pocketdrook behind our teams. In return it only asks that its athletes shall keep its good name by always playing a fair and square game, and that they shall put up the best fight they are able to no matter what the odds; and thus far the school has not been disappointed. MR. CLERK Why did it take two weeks for some of us to pay our Red Cross memberships? Surely it doesn’t mean that we are all losing our memories, or that we are too busy to attend to such trifles. Is it merely the irresponsibility of the schooLhoy or girl? Perhaps it is. Perhajjs it is only ordinary carelessness, or some trace in us of the new version of an honest saving: “Never do to-day what you can j)ut off until to-morrow.” But we are suj)posed to have outgrown the extreme childishness of the grades where we require a teacher to think for us. Most of us have reached an age at which thousands of young peo])le go to work in positions which retjuire much more respon- sibility than we show here at school. We are here to train for more resj)onsilrle posi- tions than we could fill with less educa- tion, and still we do not go out of our way to make ourselves dej)endahle. Every big business man will tell you he’s looking for the man who will deliver the goods on time or ahead of time, and he’s willing to j)ay for it too. A good excuse doesn’t helj) him out. He wants a man who will do what he says he will when he says he will. Are we training ourselves for de- jiendahle business peoj)le or for cheap, ir- resj)onsihle laborers whose thinking must he done for them? Remember Mr. Clerk’s watchword, “Individual Responsibility.” o W e are certainly very sorry to lose our l)usiness manager, Howard A. Marple, who has left us to take a course in chemistry at Tufts. It is largely due to him that the Clarion is coming through the year with a good surj)lus in its coffers, and he will go down in “Clarion history” as one of its most successful business managers. He has always been popular and much liked by all, and the school is much the poorer for h is loss. W'e all wish him a success- ful career. The Pirates of Sark The little isle of Sark, in the English Channel, is situated about one hundred and ten miles from the English coast. Sark, as seen from afar, is wondrously fair, hut a nearer view shows frowning clifls cleft into deep abysses, on which many a gallant ship has met her doom. Naturally, the lonely and well-nigh in- accessil)le island of Sark would he a sj)len- did place for the head(piarters of pirates, and the inhabitants, protected by the sharp, steep rocks, once made themselves the terror of the English Channel. Even without leaving their stronghold, they could easily, by displaying false lights and l)eacons, decoy rich merchant ships into their power. So great was the dam- age to trade thus wrought, that at length several merchants resolved to bring this state of things to an end. One day a single ship having the ap- pearance of a merchantman, boldly an- chored before Sark. This caused, as you may suj)pose, a great commotion among the pirates. Presently a white flag was run up and a boat manned by four sailors left the side of the shij). Still, however, the pirates sus|)ected treacherv, and fully armed, they followed their leader down to the landing. “Eong Jim,” their leader, was well named. He was thin and wiry, and over six feet tall. He wore a patch over his right eye, and he fairly bristled with knives and pistols. His red hair added to his ferocious appearance. The seamen landed and explained that one of their number had died on the pre- vious day. Since their vessel was out- ward hound, they might not be able to touch land again for some time; therefore they asked permission to bury the man at the little chapel on the island. After much discussion “Long Jim” consented, on condition that the sailors would prom- ise to wear no weapons. The sailors agreed, and said that they would make the pirates a substantial present of such com- modities as they had on board. Their only object, they said, was to have their comrade’s body repose in bolv ground. The sailors joyously returned to their vessel. That night a large collin was care- fully packed with swords, shields, and guns, so as to prevent any rattling. The cover was put on loosely so that it coidd be removed cpiicklv. In tbe morning the boat put off with ten men. “Eong Jim” ordered every man rigorously searched in his sight, but no weapons were found. After tins tbe pirates oflered to help with the collin. What an anxious moment this was for the invaders! Of course it wmuld never do to let the jrirates feel the immense weight of the collin. The sailors invented some excuse for declining the ofler; then, 0 THE AHEINC.TON HIGH SCHOOL CLAHIOX with extreme diHiculty, they hoisted their l3urden to tlie summit of the rocks. Fortunately for the mock-mourners, “l.ong Jim” had sent some of the pirates out to tlie visiting shi|) to fetch the prom- ised reward. Those who remained polite- ly followed their visitors to the burying place. This attention was undesired, hut the sailors proved equal to tlie occasion. Meanwhile the pirates who had rowed out to the ship were experiencing a most mqileasant surjirise. Without the least thought of treachery they clambered up the sides of the ship, only to be seized and tlisarmed as soon as they came on boartl Then the boat was filled with sail- ors, and rowed quickly to the shore, to render assistance, if re(]uired, to their comrades who were atteiuling the funeral. But with them all was going well. The collm had been carried at the head of the procession. The bearers went at a slow, steady pace until they reached the chapel. Then they ijuickened their stejis, entered the building, closed tbe door, hastily tore ofl the cover of the colfin, and stood ready to receive the jiirates. Altogether taken by surprise the Sark- ese were ruthlessly mown down, though “Long Jim” and his three assistants brave- ly stood them off till the other sailors came up in the rear. “Long Jim” was the oidy one taken alive, but during the des- cent, he Inoke awxiy from his captors and jumped ofl the rocks. Thus the Channel Islands w’ere delivered from the pest of the pirates. Vt'ii.Li.xM Alexander, 1919. o- A Chinese Funeral We were living in Tientsin, North China. J'he scorching July sun beat dowm upon Chine.se and foreigners alike, and every- botly stayed indoors to be out of the rays of the burning- sun, and tried to keej) the thermometer down with cooling “punkahs,” for it ran up to a hundred and ten or twelve outside. 1 was lying on the porch reading, when I heard the weird crash of Chinese music. We lived of course in the foreign conces- sions, but there was a large Chinese palace on the corner of the foreign part of Tien- tsin and the Chinese city. I looked out and saw that the house was all draped in white satin banners with blue embroidery on them. 1 called “amah” (my lady’s maid I and asked her what all the banners and draperies meant, and she said that the mistress of the palace, a wealthy Manchu woman, had died and that this was the be- ginning of her funeral, it was indeed, oidy the fieginning of this queer funeral, for it lasted six weeks, and for these six weeks our neighborhood was the center of interest both for foreigners and Chinese, for foreigners because it was a novelty to them to see this (jueer ceremony, and for the Chinese because the woman who had died was “vellv lich,” as they expressed it in ])idgin English, and because she was the mother of a “number one” Manchu. All the servants of the mourning house- hohl j)ut on white and there was a steady stream of visitors, friends of the family, going to the house to drink tea in hoiior of their dead friend. Some of these visitors came in old-fashioned carriages drawn bv shaggy Mongol jionies, but one or two came in little Ford automobiles dressed in tbe smartest of Euroj)ean clothes. These modern people did not please the old fash- THE ARLIXGIOX HIGH SCHOOL CLARION ioned folk who still clung to their pig- tails and to the customs of a thousand years ago. When any visitors came, the band in the courtyard began playing and as they came, there was always this ear- splitting Chinese music, both day and night. The visitors were given tea and rice and they really made quite a holiday out of it. In the courtyard was a company of Lama priests with their shaven heads and queer red and yellow robes. They chant- ed day and night and every hour the head priest struck a gong, took out a long scroll and would chant the whole history of the old woman and of her ancestors. During this time arrangements were be- ing made for the grand ending of the fu- neral. There were six sons, all Manchus, who had to come from all parts of the country to march in the funeral proces- sion. By this time the foreign residents of Tientsin, English, American, French and Russian, had gotten very tired of the endless drone of the music. At last, on a day in September, Amab came in and told us that the funeral was to end; so about noon we went out into tbe street to see the procession. All was confusion around the house. There were weeping servants hurrying around making last arrangements and shouting coolies striving to lift the heavy wooden dragons. The Lama priests droned their dismal chant harder than ever ami the air was filled with the smoke from the hurning pa- ])er figures sacrificed to the gods. At last the procession started. First came hundreds of coolies in red coats and broad brimmed straw hats carrying em- broidered banners. Then came the band pl aying what is unlike any of our music, for their scale is different from ours. The band was dressed in gorgeous embroidered robes. They were followed by the priests, who all kept up their mournful chant. Next came coolies, who scattered silver pa- per around; this was meant to represent money; and the priest had burned quanti- ties of it to help the spirit on its way to heaven. Then came large companies of coolies hearing huge painted wooden dragons, ti- gers, and other queer looking animals to frighten the evil spirits. The dragon was about fiftv feet long and all the animals were ugly enough to frighten any evil spirit, I should think. After these animals came one of the most interesting sights of the funeral. The six sons who had come from all diflerent parts of China came walking slowly, lean- ing on the arms of their attendants and weeping, wailing, and screaming as if their hearts would break. They were dressed in sack cloth and would have been a most sad sight if one had not known that they were pretending and just weeping to order. The English photographer was there to get a picture of the funeral, and when the sons were in front of the camera they wailed louder than ever, all except the youngest son, who had never shed a tear, but stootl still ami straight all through the funeral. I suppose he had seen more of foreign customs and was more progressive than his elder brothers and knew that their sorrow was not real. At last came the casket, slung on a huge ]3ainted dragon, covered with beautiful embroideries and carried by about fifty coolies. The women of the family fol- lowed in carriages dressed in mourning, white, with faces rouged and lips and eye- brows painted; and then came a long, long stream of carriages and Sedan chairs bringing friends of the family to the j)ro- cession. The old woman was buried with her an- cestors in the country, and the foreigners returned to their homes free from the din of the music for the first time in weeks.

Of course you will stay for tea. Take off vour wrajis, and sit right down.” Mrs. J. “Oh, I can’t stay hut a min- ute. I just came in to ask you if your hus- band could let my husband’s brother-in- law’s friend take his lawn-mower for an afternoon. Well, just to please you, I will have tea.” (Hopeful Horatius makes his appearance. I “My! What a pretty little son you have. Looks just like you.” Mrs. S. “In just a moment, I will have some tea ready. Of course, you wdll have just a cup. There, now' we can talk in peace. es, he is a good looking boy. No, be doesn’t look anything like his fa- ther. He’s going to be a w onderful catcher on the base-ball team.” Mrs. J. “You must bring him over some day so he can play wdth my boy, Arthur. Tes, just his age. I left him alone at home but expect him to call for me when he gets tired of waiting. Oh, here he is now. Oh, thank you for the tea. It was an unexpected ])leasure. I spent a very pleasant afternoon. Of course, you will call on me soon, and be sure and bring Horatius. I must go now.” Mrs. S. “It was very sweet of you to call and cheer me up when I was so lonely. I had no place to go and was so bored.” WTiat They Would Have Liked To Say Mrs. S. “Well, of all peojile to call on me, just as I am about to go out calling! Who wanted you here, anyhow? I sup- pose out of common decency I must ask you to tea, although goodness knows I haven’t a drop of sugar.” Mrs. J. “I just came in here to see what your house looks like. Somebody said it was simply gorgeous but I know it isn’t as artistically furnished as my own. Your taste is horrid. When you’re not looking, I shall take a better look at things.” (Enter Horatius. I “That freckle- faced, skinny, homely boy, I suppose, is your young hopeful. He’s not half as nice-looking as my Arthur. Anybody with half an eye could see that.” Mrs. S. “Even if my Horatius won’t be a catcher on the base-ball team, your short, stubby, simple-looking Arthur surely won’t be. He couldn’t catch a breeze. Well, here’s some tea. I wonder what you really came for. I wish you would hurry. I will lie late for my ajijiointment. Yes, I saw your l)oy. He looks very slupitl.” Mrs. J. “I guess the only thing he ever caught was a cold. As to catching a base- ball, I don’t believe he ever saw one. Here comes my Arthur, the dear boy. I wish Horatius would keep aw'ay from him, for I would hate to be responsible for tbe way Arthur would muss him up. I guess it’s safer to go home. I think the two boys are about as friendly as you and I.” Mrs. .S. “I do wish you would go. Well, anyhow, I was going over to show you my new frock, hut you’ve seen it now.” THE AIHTNGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 9 Mrs. J. “Good-bye, Mrs. Smith, call on me soon, and do bring your son, Horatius, 1 ™ ” along. Mrs. S. “Oh, I do believe it’s going to rain. Well, good-bye.” Mrs. J. “Well, 1 saw all I wantetl to see and bad tea in the bargain, so I guess I’ll go. That tea is horrid. Either you are “Hooverizing” on sugar or you haven't any. Good-bye.” Mrs. S. “Good-bye. I notice you didn’t say aintbing about that lawn- mower.” Edith Bennett, ’2L o Sixteen’s First Call With a last hopeful look at the glass, a jerk of bis razor, jnessed jiants, an extra pull at bis wall-paper tie, one more brush of his shiny greased crown, a last blow of bis nose with his scented handkerchief. Young Hopeful donned his brand new felt hat, put on his coat, slammed his front door, and started forth to make his first call on his girl. The nearer he apjiroaclied her home, the more shaky and timid he grew. Sev- eral thoughts passed through his mind. “Possibly she isn’t in. She might he talk- ing with some of her girl friends. Maybe she doesn’t want me tonight. What shall I say to her when I get there?” At last he reached the house. With shaky legs, he mounted the steps. When he tried to ring the hell, he could find none. After two or three minutes of fruitless search, he unexjiectedly came in contact with it by a sudden nervous move- ment of his hand. Bewitching Eyes’ mother responded to his summons. “Good morning — I mean good evening, er — er — er. Is your sister — well — er, that is, well, as I was going to say, is your daughter in?” “Why, yes. Won’t you step in?” “Yes, you’re welcome, er, I mean, thank on Betwitching Eyes “Stej) right into the parlor and I will call her immediately.” In a few minutes “the onlv one” entered the room, and after the common everyday greetings, they both took seats at opjiosite corners of the room. “Bather cold day, isn’t it?” remarked Sixteen. “Yes, rather,” replied Miss Bewitching Eyes. “But not (juite so cold as yesterday, though.” “No, hut I really think the day helore yesterday was the coldest.” “Yes, I guess you’re right.” Pause! “Sugar is scarce again.” “Yes, so I heard.” Pause! “Who told you so?” “My father.” Another jiause! “What time is it, please?” “Quarter to nine.” “Oh!” Still another pause. “Do you like onions?” “Yes, pretty well.” “So do I.” And still the pauses came, until j)oor Sixteen was again forced to ask what the 10 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION time was. When she told him that it was ten minutes to nine, he rememl)ered that if he didn’t get home pretty soon, his father would make trouble for him. And so ended Sixteen’s first call on Be- witching Eyes. Harold Horton, ’20. o THE PINK TIE “Good evenin’, Mr. McCarthy,” said Mary, the cook, to a brawny looking ])0- liceman, whose uniform was evidently new. “Sure vou look foine in your brass buttons and blue suit. I scarce would have known ye at all,” continued the talk- ative Mary. Patrick McCarthv had thrown out his chest at his lady’s words and stalked across the kitchen. This was the cook’s domain, and here she always entertained her weekly caller. “You’re a bit late this evenin’, what kept ye?” the girl continued. “Were ye down to see that girl of Mike Casey’s?” threateningly. “Hold on a minute, Mary,” said the dis- comfited officer, “the chief put me on the Lowell Street heat, and it’s a good two miles from here. Sure, ye’re not mad at your Pat, Mary, acushla? Just wait un- til ye see what I have brought you.” And he fished out a bright pink tie. Hazel White, ’18. • -o THE JOYS OF SKING 't ou climb a seemingly very small hill, with much difficulty and manv fancy back- ward slides and slips. Starting from the top, you gather speed after a number of jerky starts. When you think you are going very well, your skis start to sep- arate. Farther and farther apart they go until it seems as though you would break. Then, with a mighty effort, you bring your feet together once more. You notice a jiiece of dirt ahead. It comes nearer. ou try to turn to one side and miss it. As a last effort you give a sidewise lurch which has fatal results. our feet go out from under you and you try to straighten yourself with your pole. Then you sit down with a thud on a very tender part of your person. A ou proceed in this manner for about ten yards, when you roll over and turn a fancy flip. One ski tickl es you coyly be- hind the ear while the other twists about and gets into the charming position of having its toe matched with the heel of its mate. Five minutes are spent in extricating yourself and when you finally stand up and feel to see if you are all there, you make a formal resolution to quit skiing until vou find a private spot where you can give vent to all your feelings.

The river is tidewater here, and in better days it must have been a beautiful spot, hut it is now being rapidly swallowed up in the sooty whirl of indus- try. We crossed a tottering wooden bridge and climbed down to a floating wharf moored to the pilings. Here, in accord- ance with our friend’s instructions, we yelled, “Hi! Scotty!” at the top of our lungs; and in response to our thirtl attempt we were rewarded by the cough and sput- ter of a gasoline engine, which settled down to a steady “j)ut-put” as a little power boat rounded the corner of a house- boat in midstream and headed toward us. The jjilot introduced himself as “Scotty,” ami when we had made ourselves and our business known, he volunteered to instruct us in the mysteries of crabbing. We were given little hoops of wire with little fish called “Killys” strung around them, each having a line about eight feet long, anti a dip-net for each in the party. We climbed into a rowboat, somewhat in need of ])aint, hut fairly tight, neverthe- less, and were towed out to the “grounds” by Scotty in the motor-boat. Here, to our surjtrise, the oars were stuck down into the river mud, and for the first time we noticed that the water was less than four feet deep. 't ou throw the bait out about six feet from the boat and let it sink to the bottom. When the line moves queerly you pull in, very carefully, and when it is near enough to see the crab, you slip the net under him — if you can ! Then you tip the net upside down over a bucket and shake the crab out — if you can! Sport? Well, perhaps not, hut the crabs themselves are interesting — especially if a finger gets too close to one, for their claws snap together like the jaws of a steel trap, and with much the same ef- fect. Perhaj)s we got more pleasure from purposely permitting the whole basketful to escape on the kitchen floor, where they sidled around maliciously, claws suapj)ing at every moving object, while the women- folk took refuge on the tables and chairs, and we had to catch them ( the crabs, not the women), with the fire-tongs.

During these days many graduates tave taken the opportunity to visit our school. Among them have been Leonard Collins, Rena Young, Amos Steavens, of 1916; Daniel Clifford, Donald Strout, Hazel Kimball, Walter Chamber- lain and Mildred Wadman, of the class of 1917. There have also at various times been some hoys and girls from college vis- iting us. Leo Kelley, Daniel Hall, Roger Hall, Russell Smith, Josiah Crosby, and Lawrence Chellis from Tech, Justin Mc- Carthy and Von Allen, and Ralph Stevens from Mass. Aggie, and Donald Ross and John Snow, also from Mass. Aggie, are now in the service. On the evening of Dec. 27, 1917, the class of 1917 held its first annual class reunion. A very entertaining and inter- esting program was arranged, which was in the form of a vaudeville. Walter Chamberlain, Harold Cahalin, Stanley Kellogg and Patrick Furdon gave very entertaining solos. Mildred Wadman and Ethel Burt gave a sketch representing lol7 and 1917, which was very cleverly done. After this refreshments were served in the lunch room and dancing enjoyed until a late hour in the Gym. The reunion was well attended, many teachers having been present. Hazel Kimball called the roll and everybody was accounted for. We are glad to see that hockey is so well represented by our boys on various teams. Forest Osgood, now in Texas, and Jack Hutchinson have been the stars of the navy team; Louis Reycroft, Nelson Jost and Stanley Morton uphold the hon- ors of A. H. S. on the Wanderer team. Justin McCarthy is playing a slashing game at right wing on Mass. Aggie. Herbert Collins. THE JUNIORS Junior Social Big Event — I erjornutnce ff ins ,- - plause — [Programs Out Very Early! The Junior Social to the Seniors came off on Feh. 8. The performance which was given won great applause from the audience, and did credit to the class, . mong those who starred were: Roger Burtt. a reporter; .Miss Samantha Hale, in “Hints to the Lovelorn.’’ and Ruth Darlitig, as the “Young Lady Across the Way.” The wlnde pi(.)gram was worked out as a newspaper, The Junior Extra, in vain attemiit to imitate “The Clarion,’’ we believe. .As usual, refreshments anil danc- ing followed. It may he noted that the Seniors be- haved themselves like ladies and gentlemeTi. MR.

Other dancing and comic acts held the attention of a large audi- ence until it was announced by President .Silver that re- freshments would be served. Dancing followed.

They are under the supervision of Miss Bowker, the gymnasium teacher. There will be only class teams, as they have been rather late in starting. Dorothy Adams has been elected manager. It is bo])ed that the Junior, Sophomore, and Eresbman classes will also be able to organize teams. Basketball has once more been taken up in the high school by the boys, and Mr. Sullivan has offered his assistance as coach. There were about sixty candidates that responded to the call, and they have already begun to make class teams. Mr. Sullivan hopes to have a few class games scheduled after the holidays. Two days a week will be devoted to basket-ball j)rac- tice. o HOCKEY NOTES Arlington Alumni 4; A. II. S. 2 Arlington High received a nice Xmas ])resent in the form of a heating in their opening game with the Alumni. The bundle contained 4 goals for the Alumni and 2 for our splendid hockey players, presented by the “Jinx.” “Old Charlie Horse” and “Hard Luck” were there ■''trong rooting for the High School repre- sentatives. As usual “Judge” Lynch roamed all over the ice but did very little hockey jilaying. Cajitain Boh Gillespie played his jiosition well. On the forward line he was always consjjicuous, and his defensive work was of the highest class. The Alumni found the A. H. S. hoys “tough” j)icking, hut their experience showed clearly against their inexperienced opponents. o Cambridge Latin 3; A. H. S. 1 F or the first time in over ten years Cam- bridge Latin won a hockey game over Ar- lington. It was won to the tune of 3 to 1. A. H. S. played a very good game consid- ering that they had only one veteran. Considering the fact that Cambridge Latin has swept everything before them, Arling- ton played a great game. Knowing that they had a hard job on their hands Ar- lington played in a defensive style. Here it was that “Boots” O’Keefe and “Onions” Gillespie showed up. This jiair worked like a machine, breaking up all the plays that worked jiast the outer defense. Nevertheless three Cambridge shots took effect and blew up Arlington’s hojies. The only tally for Arlington was scored Iiy Gillespie and O’Keefe, who teamed the length of the rink, and with the help of a pretty pass from O’Kee e, Gillespie shot the only goal. 14 TIIK ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION Stone School 2; Arlington 1 In a farce supposed to be a hockey game Stone School took the liacon away from Arlington. Stone took two bites, while A. H. S. took one. Stone School must have thought Arlington was jilaying cro- quet if they judged from the first goal. The puck, after rambling tlown the ice, rolled between goal-tender iano’s legs and then came to a stoji when it was safe inside the net. On the second goal Yiano made an attempt at golf, hut he missed his drive, and the puck, after cruising around his feet, anchored inside the net. Arlington’s only goal was shot by “Judge” Lynch. Medford High 5; Arlington 2 In the second Interscholastic game of the season A. H. S. retreated under the furious onslaughts of the Medford advance guards. Furr and Donellan were Med- ford’s two bright lights. They were on their toes all the time checking A. H. S.’ olTensive and forcing the defense. Adams played a great game in the net for Ar ling- ton. Gillespie and O’Keefe as usual played well, hut were outclassed by Med- ford’s fast forward line. As it stands now A. H. S. has lost not only their league games hut also all their other games. Will somebody please find a tonic that will aid in building up the team? All hopes are not vet lost, hut hopes for the champion- ship are very vague. o Keep the Clarion’s advertisers in mind, and remember that the man who is gen- erous enough to place an “ad” with us is the man who will go out of his way to give you a square deal. Six hundred Clarions disposed of in December. As many have been printed this month. Melrose, 0; A. H. S., 2 Arlington no longer shares with Rindge the honors of lowest jilace in the league. On Friday evening, Feb. 1.5, she surprised a large Arena audience by taking two goals from her old rival, Melrose. Lynch and Boh Gillespie were directly responsible for the tallies. The Arlington team played all around their opponents during the whole game, putting up more fight than they had shown before this season. The Melrose de- fense seemed entirely gone, while it was hut seldom that thev were even able to break through our line. We hope the game was a forerunner of even greater things. o CANDLEMAS DAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1918 “Ho, hum, time to wake up. Gee, what a great nap I’ve had. Well, I don’t sup- pose I can sleep all the time, so here goes to get out of this nice warm bed to see what kind of a weather prophet I am. Where in thunder is that hole I crawled into last fall? Ouch! What was that I humped my nose against? Pretty cold stuff. Well, I’ll he hlowed, it is a cake of ice. Guess I’ll have to gnaw my way out — seems to make my teeth ache, though. Daylight at last, and some day! Wlioop! What’s that? No, yes, it is mv shadow; I thought it was another ground hog. Well, hack to sleep another six weeks. Good night.” This was Bill Woodchuck’s conversation to himself on the above date, and if Bill knows anything about weather, the slate in the coal bin will need another coat of black paint before the real spring sets in.

This should meet with the heartiest support not only from the scholars in the schools, but from the community as well. 1 can not commend your school too highly for the fine showing they have made in the Liberty Bond purchase and in the Red Cross membership. 1 want to express to you and through you to the school my keen appreciation of the fine work they are doing and the hope that your department will continue to render the valuable service that you have in the past.

I am sorry in answering not to have any e.xciting exjieriences to tell about, hut will fill out with things in gen- eral since I left school. When I was or- dered to report for duty my first station was at Commonwealth Pier or “Lh S. S. Immovable.” I remained there about five weeks, when I was transferred to Marble- head Training Station, and after three weeks there was transferred to Bumpkin’s Island. I arrived at the Island I Bumpkin’s, not Deer ) when the jiresent camp was un- der construction. My duties for the first few weeks consisted of hauling lumber, digging ditches and post-holes for the bar- racks, heaving coal and hitting my fingers instead of nails with a nice hard little 1() THE AHLINdTON HIGH SCHOOL CLAHIOX liammer. During this time we were quar- tered in one of the wards ( not padded ) , sleeping on tlie floor. We ditln’t have such hard nights, though, as we had good soft mattresses. As soon as the harracks were finished we were moved into them and more men came down. Then our training commenced. Four months of that and I was sent to the Boston Navy Yard and from there I signed for Suhmarine Chaser 254. The boats are O. K. We are having an easy time of it now, going out on short trips very often. We have liberty every night from 5:00 I . M. to 8:00 A. M. It has been pretty cold lately here hut we have good warm outfits and it isn’t so had. Hoping to hear from you soon I am. Sincerely yours, WiiYTAL Bennett. P. S. That Bologna stuff was jjrettv clever. I don’t know which I felt the more like doing, shaking the author’s hand or hitting him on the head with Irish confetti. Somewhere in France, Jan. 7, 1918. Dear Friend Charles: After a fellow has been over here for some time nothing feels better to him than to get news from home and especially a hook like the good old Clarion, with all its personalities, so let me begin this letter liy first thanking you and all my friends at school for the Nov. issue. There are not many things concerning the conditions over here that I can write you, as I’m iu a very military companv whose motto is to live uj) to army regulations. Of course we one and all know it is all done for our own safety and jiersonal interest, hut I will do my utmost to write as near as pos- sible many of the little hajipenings since leaving our camp at Framingham. After all the good-byes had been said. and our train pulled out. I was one of the fellows picked to stand guard on the plat- form from 1 to 3 A. M., and saw many interesting sights when going through the munition manufacturing cities that work a night shift. Not until late next lay did we arrive at our juer of embarkation. Going down the harbor to our transport we were greeted by manv different crafts, hands and whistles, hut once aboard all be- came (juiet and we finally sailed out prac- tically unnoticed. For the first few days we stood the weather, hut then things be- gan to happen. More men became inter- ested in looking over the rail and feeding the fishes than on any voyage I’ve ever been on before. After being over a week without seeing anything but au occasional whale, shark or flock of Mother Cary’s chickens, I could not helj) hut think what a wonder old Chris Columbus must have been. Well, finallv we sighted land, and never did it look so good to me before even if it was strange and foreign to me. Upon landing in a city of fair size I was greatlv surj)rised at the customs and ways of the jieople. They are very old fash- ioned and out of date even in the smallest details. They cook over verv low open firejilaces, go around at night with square lanterns with glass on four sides and a candle inside for lighting purposes, hut strangest of all I was surprised to see them wearing wooden shoes, as I have always thought they were only jiractical in Hol- lantl. But after marching to our rest camp I could readily see whv they are used. If they did not use them and leave them outside the doors of their homes they would soon he sleeping in a sea of mud. Of course you know, Charlie, that two of the greatest (jualities of the French jieople are politeness and hosjiitality. Since ar- riving at our present location we have been over the biggest part of the country, by THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 17 rail, that is freight train, on horse hack, on mules and on foot. I must say that from an artist’s j)oint of view this is a very artistic and antique part of the world. I am very glad to he a memher of this hranch of service as it ranks second to none on land or sea and only second to the aviation escadrilles in rank of service. We are known by the French as “Des Mitraileuses,” which seems to mean a lot to them as well as the soldiers over here. At night when all the daily details are over and we all gather around our little barrack fires, many gootl stories are told hv men from all the ililferent parts of New England. Of course at my hre sit two other Arlington hoys. Forest Cam- eron and Leslie Talbot, and we all take great interest in listening to “Fred Gor- man” of Jamaica Plain recite Rudyard Kipling’s “Barrack Room Ballads,” and Robert Service’s “Rhymes of a Retl Cross Man.” He sure makes things hum around here and states that it sure is a certainty of his making his home somewhere on the top of Brattle Heights, Arlington, when he once gets hack. Things go on about the same from lay to day except that the work is getting harder and the weather colder. Now, Charlie, I guess I’ve about exhausted my fund of inlormation, and as “Jamaica” Gorman tells his friends, if you care to know just the kind of life I’m leading get “Barrack Room Ballads,” by Rudyard Kipling and read the poem entitled “The Screw Guns,” which is the English name for machine guns. Before closing there are four things I wish to say that I’m very j)ioud of ; namely, 1st, that I’m an Amer- ican; 2nd, that I am in a very gootl hranch of her army; 3rd, of the Y. M. C. A. as the soldiers’ friend, and last and not to he forgotten, that I’m a memher of Arlington High Alumni and to thank them for their very pleasant cablegram. Now wishing you one and all the best of health, hap- piness and prosperity for the coming year I am as ever Your friend, Joe Gahm, ’17. o — NOTES Congratulations to “Ted” Bell, who finally succeeded in enlisting after many rejections. “Occifer!” find an A. H. S. slacker, please! Many letters are being received ilaily from our hoys. Nine arrived during Jan- uary, including three from Erance. A suggestion has been made that the different rooms pick names from the honor roll anti write to the hoys, each pupil saying a few words and signing his or her name. Sixty-five copies of the Clarion were sent to the hoys in service la.st month. This month we hope to send a copy to every one of our hoys in service. “Tub” Dallin has left for Erance once again. All kinds of luck, “Tub.” The Italian Government has highly hon- ored an American destroyer operating against the “subs” in the Mediterranean Sea. One of our hoys is a memlter of the crew. Owing to heavy censorship we are not at liberty to announce any further in- formation. o Every other church has a clock on the outside of the building, although it loesn’t matter whether or not you’re late for Sun- day-school; hut very few school houses have. Put a clock on the front of the high school, Mr. Burtt, and we believe that you could cut the tardiness down at least one- half. We are glad to add the following to our list of exchanges; The Argus [Gardner, Mass.); The Au- thentic [Stonehain, Mass.); The Classical Gazette {Lynn, Mass.); The Oracle [Ban- gor, Maine); The Pioneer [Reading, Mass.); The Purple and Gold [Milton, N. H ) ; The Sassamon [Natick, Mass); The Spectator [Waterloo, Iowa). o AS OTHERS SEE US You have an all-around good hook. The numerous cuts give the Clarion an interesting touch. — Visalia News ( V'isalia, Calijornia. ) Your literary department could he greatly improved. Have your stories longer. Your cuts are good. What’s the idea of mixing your exchange department with your jokes? — Trade Winds ( W or- cester ) . You have an interesting paper, with clever poetry and a full class note column. May we put you on our list as a permanent caller? — Lynn Classical Gazette. “Do Your All.” That is the kind of an editorial that a school paper should pub- lish. Congratulations. Your long Honor Roll, and the numher of your men already in France, is trulv wonderful. We are nroud to have you as an exchange. — The Chronicle ( New York. ) A few short stories and not so many articles wouhl improve your literary de- partment.— Review ( Newton ) . o AS WE SEE OTHERS The Chronicle, New York Evening High School jor Men. We are indeed proud to have on our ex- change list, the magazine of a school whose students can purchase $75,000 in Eiherty Bonds! The Farmington Student [Conn.). Your editorials are good, hut a few more cuts, especiallv one for your literary de- partment. would greatlv improve your pa- per. Your departments seem to be run together. THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 19 Who’s Who In The Arlington High School The Teachers Mr. G. took the Chem class to Baker’s, To look over the chocolate makers. Much candy was missed, I It was in Lynch’s fist, ) So G. called the whole of ’em fakers. There once was a teacher of Latin, Whose Freshmen did sure act like Satan; But she loved every one. Though they plagued her like fun. This good natured teacher of Latin. There once was a Fraulein of Dutch, Who taught Kultur and Kaiser and such. But shut up like a clam When her own L ncle Sam Went in to make hash of the Dutch. Lip in Room 36 there’s a sight. Pennies dropping to left and to right; In showers they fall. Miss O’Neill gets them all. So you can’t say the Freshmen are tight. A young lady by name called Miss Eaton Tried reading a hook by Max Eastman; But she threw the book down And went ravin’ aroun’. And said she would have to quit teachon’. Our principal once out of pique Chased his young son with a stifjue; But Harold was wise. He knew his dad’s size. So he told his papa he was sique. o THE BOOMERANG By H. A. M. If our school be a boomer And our Clarion a tooter. All of us must read the ads And not be just a rooter.

We want them new and full of pep, Not old as several ages. — o — On the evening of Fel)ruary eighth the Juniors entertained the Seniors. A show, based upon the “Junior Extra,” was given in the hall, after which refreshments were served, followed by dancing. We all felt sorry at the absence of our class advisor. Miss Eaton, and want to express our ap- preciation to Miss Blodgett for her kind assistance in taking Miss Eaton’s place. — o — First Jun: “Heard the latest news?” Second Jun: “No!

It is something used in disguise to hide some- thing.” Pupil: “Please, teacher, that’s what I said.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 23 THE SCRIBBLER’S CLUB By the suggestion of Miss Eaton, some of the Seniors interested in literature and writing, formed a cluh which they called The Scribbler’s Cluh. The first meeting was held with Miss Eaton. Plans for the future work were made and a president. Miss Eaton, and a secretary, R. Stickney, were elected. It was agreed that half of the members should lay their literary productions before the Public Opinion — To ])onder these sad words over Near drives a man to drink: — “() the funny things we would have said If we’d had the time to think!” As my colyum is the last thing in the Clarion I'll tell you something which you probably haven’t noticed before: — this is our humorous number! — o — We once saw a girl play field hockey. And we’re sure we will never forget her We’ll know her again when we see her, for she Is the ‘girl with the egg on her sweater.” — o — The Janitors are kept busy nowadays hanging on the steam pipes to make us think the heat is coming up. — o — No use talking, there’s more in this submarine warfare than appears on the surface. — o — Wanted — Conductor for the A. H. S. orchestra. Must he able to drape himself gracefully over the pulpit every Monday morning and shake a little stick while the music is going on. Address the editor. club for consideration at each meeting. The second meeting was held at Doris Peale’s. Some very interesting and worth while offerings were read. Lhibeknown to most of us, there is a lot of genius in the Senior class which time is slowly bringing to light. Our meetings have been indefinitely postponed on account of the absence of Miss Eaton. R. Stickney, Sec. Quibs and Quisses We have some bright household arts pupils in our midst. When the gas began to escape down in Room C, Batey put a basin under the leak. No use talkin’, the kid’s clever. — o — Our orchestra makes fuimv sounds; Of its discords there’s no doubt; The fiddles murder every piece. The cornets help them out. The flutist plays way off the key. And the drummer has the gout So when you hear them start to play. Get wise — aud then get out. — o — banjo the worst way. He probably would if he took lessons. — o — It won’t lie long before they’re saying “white coal” instead of “black diamoiuls.” — o — In closing, the Public Opinion Editor wishes to congratulate all the Seniors, and especially himself, for the dignity and self- restraint which they manifested at the Junior Social.

The one addressed slowly drew from his pocket a somewhat crumpled, carelessly written sheet, and handed it over to the teacher. The latter glanced at it hastily and then said: “John, i won't accept that; you can do much helter.” “Oh, that’s all right; that’s good enough,” was the reply as the hoy turned away. The teacher, however, insisted that the hoy must do the work over. That’s good enough! How often we hear this! So often that it has almost grown to he a slogan of our national life, the stand- ard l)y wdiich we are known abroad, the slur which is frequently placed upon us hy intelligent foreigners who understand our ])ropensity for merely “getting hy.” It is this trait that has cost us much in interna- tional trade, and has impeded our progress like a millstone about our necks. Too many of our young j)eoj)le are con- tent with C when B is their real standard. But G “is good enough.” Too often the workman, the mechanic, and even those in the professions are animated with the same idea, that whatever they can get accejjted is sufficient. Something must he done about this, and it is quite j)0ssihle that the war will he the factor that will bring about the change. W here human lives are at stake the best j)ossil)le is the only conceivable standard. It is possible that the characteristic of thor- oughness and e.xcellence in work w'ill spread itself throughout our country, and its progress will fasten itself upon our young peoj)le in the schools. Then each pupil will have an ardent ambition to do his best; it will he a disgrace for the C hoy to “get hy” with a 1), and the slogan will not he how little hut how much. Let us hope that the change comes, and it can’t come too soon. Carl D.

HORNBLOWER WEEKS 60 CONGRESS STREET, BOSTON OUR SOLDIERS The record of graduates and undergrad- uates of the A. H. S. who have entered the service of their countrv is one of which we may weU he proud. For a school of our size 105 stars on the service flag is a fine showing. And not oidy that, but several of our hoys have already been wounded in France, and two have received honors for bravery. It is a fine lot of fellows that is representing us, and we know that every one of them is a credit to his old school. We don’t want these boys to forget the A. H. S. altogether, and the Clarion, through its Military Department, is doing what it can to keep them in touch with us. The school, through its contributions, and the generosity of the group of girls who donated to this work the proceeds of a dance recently held here, have made it possible to send in the neighborhood of seventy Clarions of each issue to the hoys in this country and in France. In return we have had some very intere.sting letters of appreciation, the great majority of which we have been unable to print be- cause of limited space. All seem to be as mucb jileased to bear from tbeir old higb school as we are to bear from them. We are proud of our army in the training camps and in France. And you fellows in khaki, don’t forget the old A. H. S. and remember that: “ — always when victorious Our dieer is ringing free. — • ‘Arlington forever!’ To the sky now, three times three!” TRADE SCHOOLS In these days of big business trade schools and business colleges are thriving as they never did before. Of late the cry of our educators has been for practical training, for education in tbe schools which shall prepare the student for some definite trade or profession. This is a fine thing for a great many of us, but is there not, after all, some danger of carry- ing it too far? The main objective of such schooling is to train us to make money, to give us a good start in our life- long pursuit of the ‘almighty dollar!’ As a nation we have been accused of wor- shipping to an undue extent that same dol- lar. The old fashioned classical courses probably had their faults; but we must admit that they strove to make of the stu- dent a clear thinking, well lettered, high principled man. On the other hand, the aim of the trade school is likely to be the turning out of a skilled but automatic piece of mechanism, well tempered and fitted to take its place at once in the great industrial machine.

STAMPS and become A PATRIOT and A BONDHOLDER The Mid-night Ride of Paul McBride A clear calm moon shone serenely from out an inky black sky, reflecting its shim- mering light in a swollen brook which dis- appeared among the thick underbrush until only a faint gurgle sounded to re- veal its presence there — swollen, for it was the rainy season and Mac was “tired to death of rain and Africa” to quote his own words. As he lay, comfortably sprawled in the doorway of the telegraph station, he tried to realize that the same old moon which looked down at him, rather cyni- cally he thought, was the same one that peered at Broadway or shone on his own home town. He pondered, looking full at the moon’s round face, trying to imag- ine what he would do and how he would feel if he were to see it under his own sky, until he distinctly caught the moon winking at him. “Think it’s a joke,” he flung hack dis- gustedly. One thing he had to comfort him in his loneliness and to remind him of the States, was his motorcycle. It had carried him on many a midnight ride and he thought of it now. He was expecting no dis- patches, so he gave a last defiant glance at the moon. The cool breeze stung his face, raising his spirits and making him forget his sur- roundings. It was not long before he was well on the road which led through the heart of the jungle thicket, to the next dis- patch station like his own. After an hour’s riding, he slowed up gradually to hear a steady soft-cushioned step behind him which a glance over his shoulder told him was not to he resisted. A cold fear siezed him. He had left his revol- ver, as he usually did, on his table; even if he had had it with him he doubted its benefit. In the same flash he remembered he was running short of gasolene. Spurt after spurt of as much speed as he dared to put on, made little difference, for each time he thought he had outrun his pur- suer, he would catch the sound of the steady, cat-like tread close behind, never wavering, never growing fainter. He wondered, with a catch of his breath, how much longer his gasolene would last, for he did not relish being stranded alone in the thick of the jungle with this persistent beast. Suddenly like a heaven-sent inspiration, came an idea, as if in answer to his up- ward glance at the calm-faced unconcerned moon. There were no traffic officers in iMac’s vicinity and therefore no need of red tail light. Instead he had a brilliant acetylene lamp in front, which occasion- ally served as a searchlight. In the space of a second he had stoj)ped his cycle, jumped off, turned it about and with a dexterous movement, flashed the light full in the face of — • This was too much for Mr. Lion! What kind of an animal was this strange crea- ture whi ch could move so swiftly yet which made a deafening noise, could stop. THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 7 break itself in two and turn its one lumin- ous, piercing, eye directly on its foe? It was too much for the King of Beasts and with a tremendous roar, he turned on his heel, as it were, and disappeared into the shade of the jungle blackness. Paul again mounted his noisy steed and started onward for he began to notice certain landmarks which told him he had nearly reached the station but which he had been too much preturbed to recognize before. He glanced once more at his old antagonizer, the moon, hut it considerately hid behind a passing cloud and he cried out, “Better hide, old boy, Paul Revere had nothing on me.” Inez Zecker, ’18. o Spring In The Woods The woods were filled with the songs of birds, the chattering of a noisy squirrel, and the gurgling of a near by brook. The leaves of the trees and hushes were break- ing their winter incasements, while the grass was already a bright, emerald green. An inquisitive chicadee stopped a mo- ment from his hurried search for insects in the hark of the trees to view the strangers and then continued his search for his scanty fare which increased with each warm day. A brown thrasher peeled forth his varied vocabulary of notes from the top of a tree, while his mate was busy building her nest on the ground under a low bush. High in the skies a flock of geese flew northward in their wedge forma- tion, honking the arrival of spring to the creatures below. A jack rabbit leaped timidly across an open space and darted into a pile of un- derbrush where his burrow was. Two flickers were drilling a hole in a hollow tree with a steady tapping like that of an iron-worker’s trip hammer, only interrupt- ing themselves occasionally to make a screeching sound peculiar to their family. A tiny chipmunk sat on a rock near his home saucing his cousin, the gray squir- rel, who sauced him back with equal inso- lence. Into this silvan peace two men walked. Every wild thing was hushed immediately except the babbling brook and the curious chickadee who stopped to look only once at the men. These men had peculiar in- struments through which they sighted. They also had a long ribbon of steel marked off into equal spaces which they would lay on the ground in some myste- rious fashion. The inhabitants of the surrounding woods were much disturbed. They peeked out at the men cautiously from their places of concealment. Mrs. Thrasher almost died of heart failure when one man nearly stepped on her nest. The jack rabbit scooted away as they approached his hid- ing place. The flickers stopped their drill- ing, retreating to a distant tree. The chip- munk and the squirrel left their quarrel for another time, dashing for their homes. The men stayed in the vicinity all day, sighting, measuring, driving stakes, and looking at a piece of paper covered with lines and figures. The wild creatures were puzzled by these peculiar actions. A feeling of fear, and hatred came over them. They felt that they could not enjoy the peace they were accustomed to any more. Later in the season more men came, cut- ting down many trees to build a log cabin. The wise old owl knew what was happen- ing for he had lost his home in a hollow tree once before when these men came. 8 THE AHLINHTOX IlIHII SCIIOOI- CLAHIOX “As surely as the hrook will enter the river, and the river enter the sea,” he told the woodland creatures, “hy next spring our forest will he all cut down.” The next winter the owl’s jnediction came true. A great many more men than they had ever seen liefore came into the woods cutting trees. They hauled the logs to the river and floated them on its hosom to the saw-mills. The woodland creatures watchetl them go. Sterling Webber, ’19. Sketches JOHNNY’S TREASURE () Little Johnny emerged from the wood- shed with a slight bulging under his bright red jersey. He walked cjuickly hut noise- lessly across the yard, his eyes fastened intently upon the kitchen window through which he could see his mother as she hummed over her cooking. Suddenly, he stopped, then tlashed (piickly over to his haven behind the old ajiple tree. Before clinching the tree he surveyed the jilace cautiously. Nobody coming, he climlred. There he settled himself upon a branch and withdrew the huldge, a yellow and red covered novel. After making sure that he and his treasure were out of sight of the house, he thumbed over to the last turned down corner and began — “Suddenly a rider enveloped in a cloud of dust, rode up the mountain trail. Honest John, the stocky hero, could move neither to the right or left hut stood firmly in the middle of the narrow path so that the vil- lian would either dash himself against the cliff or tumble with the horse into the water. On and faster came the rider until sud- denly realizing that John would not side- step he vainly — “John, John!” “Ye — Yesm,” said Johnny as he sud- denly came to. “Wha’ do you want?” “Are you up in that old tree again?” questioned his mother. “Well, come in and get your wood liefore dad gets home.” “Oh, gee,” said Johnny. “Somebody is always taking the joy out of life.” Helene R. McC. rthy, ’18. TWILIGHT o Did you ever notice that short, strange silence at dusk, which sometimes comes when the day has just departed and all nature, hushed, seems to wait for the ap- proaching night? The soft shadows blend everything into a colorless mass. Then a little sighing breeze springs up from no where and rustles sadly through the trees. Erom across the lake the frogs croak a hoarse, weird song while the shrill of the crickets over-tops all, soon, however, trill- ing off into a thin mournful strain. Night, with its thousands of mysterious noises has come, breaking the sweet hut melancholy spell. Dorothy Danforth, ’20. A POEM o Oh hills that stand so tall and strong. Through all the weary years! Oh hills that watch -so still and long. O’er mirth, and joy, and tears! You seem to wait so patiently. And reverently proclaim. In quiet, peaceful majesty. The glories of His name. Cecelia Ereeman, ’18. TIIK ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION WEATHER In General and in Particular o It’s a great clay out. We say out, we mean out, and we very sincerely contend that “out” is the proper word, for we are writing this in a building most eminently cpialified to dampen any one’s enthusiasm on the subject of the weather. Who knows hut what it may rain before one o’clock? But we slept well last night; had time for breakfast, weren’t late, and lots of other nice things, so we perfectly agree with ourself that it is a perfectly grand and glorious morning. The gentle zephyrs of Spring are j lay- ing about the windows; laden with the gas- work’s smoke, ’tis true, hut nevertheless, zephyrs. We may as well enjoy them now, fo r it will probably snow tonight. We seem to be getting a touch of sjn ing- fever, too. Spring-fever, it has always ap- peared to us, is, as a rule, just an excuse for man’s natural laziness, which is prom- inent all the year round, but finds an ex- cellent chance to masijuerade as a disease as soon as Winter has deserted us and the call of the back-yard garden is heard. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. That, in fact, is why we have spring-fever. The “we” is used editorially, as ’twere, you understand. Even the faculty knows what it is to watch those unspeakably fortunate jani- tors, who have nothing to do; simply stand aside — in the blessed outside — with no lessons to do, and lean on their lawn- mower, and talk, and look around, and maybe chew gum if they want to But where have we strayed to? There we were, talking about weather, and here we are, discussing disease. Still, what’s the use of worrying alcout it; we all agreed, and if we went further, we probably wouldn’t be; so since it !) would be such a shame to spoil the de- lightful harmony, we’ll close with the same words we started on, and say with r eal sincerity and earnest conviction, that it certainly is a great day out. C. A. Palmer, ’18. HIS LAST IMPRESSION Slowly and laboringlv the lad in khaki climbed to the top of the hill. A glorious sunrise illuminated the land- scape which seemed to he bathed in gold. With breaking heart he viewed the scene. How many times as a child had he romped through the meadow! How often had he fished in the little brook which ran close by. Yes, and those old apple trees in which he had played hide and seek swing- ing from one branch to another. What good fun at harvest time running after the horse or jumping in the haystacks. But as he stood there thinking, his eye caught sight of the little white house. How merrily as a schoolboy he swung up the little white path into the rose-covered porch. But there stood his dear old mother and dad watching him. Smiling, the boy was gone. Margaret Casey, ’18. o Early to bed and earlv to rise. Makes the tanly list shrink in size. — o — A SECRET o I’ll tell you all a big secret And listen, for all of it’s true. It may be of interest to someone. And may be of value to you. Now, before you get too excited Dear friends, I must warn you to wait. Don’t get your brains too flustrated, I sprung that last verse just as liait. 10 THE AHLINGTOX HIC.II SCHOOL CLAHIOX Now, here’s where I get to my secret, It’s more like a piece of advice.

But if you must ride when you’re tardy Get the nickel some other way. Now that I’ve told you my secret. You’ve listened and know it’s all true. Invest all your carfares in thrift stamps. If you’ll help Uncle Sam, he’ll help you. Edith Bennett, ’21. RASTUS o It was along the Verdun sector, about a year ago, that a great deal of heavy fight- ing occurred. After a strenuous bombard- ment by the English artillery, a Canadian regiment advanced, taking the front line trench of the enemy. Being alone, as the other regiments had not advanced with them, they were undecided what to do. Fritz started severe firing, from his sec- ond line trenches, and the Canadians found that they could neither advance nor retreat. The allied forces along this particular front realized the difficult position of the Canadians, and wished to communicate with them. To send a soldier with the orders, at such a time, was out of the question, as no man could hope to get through such a torrent of bullets. After some minutes an officer came from a dugout and said, “Why not send Kastus out with the message? He’s so small, he can dodge between the bullets.” Rastus, the pet dog of the Canadian regiment, was small and totally black. So it was that little Rastus, with a note tied securely to his collar, was sent across No man’s Land in search of his masters. His little black body was hardly visible, so fast did it travel. When his goal was nearly reached, he seemed to falter, but pulled himself together and slowly finished the distance. He rolled into the trench that the Canadians had taken, a lifeless form. Rastus had done his duty even unto death, for the message which he brought saved the regiment. Bruce Haire, ’19. THE GREAT AROOSTOOK CANNON o I was talking with my friend. Captain Cyrus Bottomley, about the big German gun that bombarded Paris from a point 76 miles away. “Why those German guns aren’t much,” he said. “Did I ever tell you about the gun we had in the Aroostook Home Gaur ls? It was during the Spanish War. The Home Guards had organized during the Civil War, and we kept them up as a social organization. Well, when war broke out, the boys all started drill- ing. Now over in Jericho, the next town, they took the cannon in front of the G. A. R. Hall and formed a company of artil- lery. When we heard this, of course we had to have artillery too. We didn’t have a cannon around town so we decided to make one. Now down in my south past- ure there was an old pine ’bout eighty foot tall and straight as a stick. When it was young it had been in a fire and had its heart burnt out. but the outside was sound and solid. As it had grown, the hollow had grown too till it ran up nice and round to about ten feet from the top. Well, we cut it down and trimmed it and that hole made as nice a bore as you’d want to see. At first we thought we’d make a dozen or so cannon out of it but then the idea hit us, why not leave it as it was. So we twisted her around so she was pointing out over the lake and started to fix her up. We shrunk iron hands THE AHIJNGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 11 around her about every four feet to strenthen her. We couldn’t load her from the muzzle so we put the load in before we plugged the breech. For a projectile we took one of those granite posts by the green and trimmed it round. We put in four kegs of powder and then closed the breech by building her up with two-inch plank and dumping a couple loads of boulders hack of that. Then on the fourth of July we set her off. The hole where that gun was is there yet, and you may not believe it but pieces of that granite post fell in Bangor, one hundred twenty-three and three-quarters of a mile away. So I guess we Maine folks can show even the Germans something in the line of guns, eh?” William Kenniston, ’18. TRAMPS o The general public as a rule associates the word “tramp” with the human derelict who leads a wandering existence by beg- ging, stealing and breaking his way on freight trains. There is another class of tramps which is indispensible, and the greater part of the world’s commerce is carried from remote parts not visited by regular lines of ocean steamers by the ocean tramp. The tramp is not a thing of beauty. She is generally dirty and badly in need of paint; she sets low in the water and has no attractive superstructure or polished brass work. She is built for one purpose only, and every cubic foot of space below decks with the exceptio n of the engine room, is used for the storage of freight. I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to visit a tramp one day last summer and learned many things about it which were puzzling and new to me. After gaining the deck my guide led me down some iron steps, which were very steep, and through a greasy and smelly passage where I got a glimpse of an im- mense cook stove and several cooks who were preparing supper. Passing through a smaller passage to the right we were ushered into the cap- tain’s cabin. This room was very cozy and home-like and the captain, an elderly Englishman, was most hospitable. After a cup of delicious tea, served with cakes and marmalade by a Chinese stew- ard, the captain told us that he had just arrived from Chili and had a cargo of nitrate of soda. He hadn’t been home or seen his family for four years. In former years ocean tramps were numerous; and importers of foreign goods had no difficulty in securing the service of one at any time to go to any port of the globe for a cargo. In those days both offi- cers and crew were poorly paid and often poorly fed, but since the European war has deflected the shipping, the tramps have come into greater demand than ever. Many circumstances are known where a tramp has earned more than her original cost in a single voyage. So there are “tramps” and “tramps,” one a menace to life, the other a builder up of com- merce of the world. Catherine Stimson, ’20. A SPRING WALK o “How sweet, sweet, sweet the world is!” As a challenge the clear pure song of the song sparrow rings out through the woods. Answering its call I start off for a walk over hill and dale eager to catch a glimpse of the spring songsters and llowers. It is a glorious spring morning. On one side of the path thru the woods, the tall trees are dressed in their green youth- ful frocks, while the millions of white blossoms of the one leaf bathe themselves at their feet in the sunshine which comes 12 THE AHUNdTOX HIGH SCHOOI. CI.AHIOX filtering thru the high hush hlueherry with its pink blossoms and thru the stately trees. On the other side of the jiath the azure blue of the sky is reflected in a small j)ond where, now and again, I see the flash of a gold fish as it swims near the shore. The alluring call of a thrush comes faintly from the distance and I hasten my step, eager to catch a glimpse of the lovely songster. The little lake is left behind and rugged hills skirt the path. Among the many rocks and crags the red of the columbine is seen breaking the monotony of the gray boulders. Now' and again, I stop and pick a little blue violet which is trying to hide away under the old leaves and new grasses. I cross the rustic bridge over a rollick- ing brook which is clapping its hands at being free at last from the cold ice of winter. The hills on the other side of the brook are smaller and gradually diminish and then disappear. In their place is an old marsh where the children come every spring to get the marsh marigolds. I look eagerly for the golden flowers and sure enough I see the cheery blossoms shaking their heads teasingly a few rods from the path. But former experience has taught me and I wander on leaving the flowers for more adventurous souls. As I go on a flash of blue flies thru the air calling “thief, thief.” It is the blue jay who has disturbed my morning slum- ber so often thru the winter. The crow' utters his cry of danger, three “caws” in succession as I wander on. While in a hush at the side of the path is a robin red breast. Cocking his head first on one side and then on the other he surveys me a minute before uttering his “cheerily, cheer- ilv” over and over again. The little zephyrs are wafting the sweet odor of the pines to me. It is not long before I reach the cool shelter of the pine grove and I throw' myself down on the fragrant carpet of pine needles to listen to the songs of the birds that are flitting to and fro among the green boughs. How wonderful it is to have these hearers of the welcome new's come hack each year always foretelling the joy and warmth to coine after the cruel stress of winter. It is a beautiful mission and one to be heeded. For if we only stop in the busy whirl of life we will surely find other signs along the way juedicting a peace and hajipiness to come out of the awful turmoil which seems to envelop us. Pauline W.atkins, ’18. ANN RADCLIFFE o When I w'as a freshman in high school, my parents decided that I should go to Radcliffe College. I had heard a great deal about this college, but I had never seen it, because we lived in a country town in New Hampshire. One spring day my mother received a letter from my aunt saying that she wouhl like to have me spend my spring vacation w'ith her. She lived in Cambridge, and I thought that I would now see Ann Rad- cliffe, as well as the college which I was to attend. Mother answered her letter, saying that I could go, and the next Friday afternoon, as the train pulled out of the station, one could see me w'aving my hand to my mother. The train w’as late in arriving but my aunt was there to meet me. We took an- other train to Cambridge, and arrived at her home late in the afternoon. The next morning my aunt asked me if I would like to see the college; I jumped for joy at the thought of seeing it. We took a walk through some of the build- ings, and around the grounds. I asked my aunt where Ann Radcliffe was, and she said that we would see her at the ball game that afternoon. THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 13 We went to the ball game, and I strained my eyes, but I couldn’t see anyone that answered the description I had of Ann Radcliffe. Finally, I said, “Where is Ann? I can’t see her.” “My dear child,” she said, “do you see that donkey pulling that cart? Well, that is Ann Radcliffe.” I was very much disappointed to find that the real Ann Radcliffe had died many years before. Alice Brine, ’20. ■ o HONORABLE MENTION The Lily A.

LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE OF NEW ENGLAND Liberty Building, Boston OE THE PRINCIPAL’S COLUMN One of the most enjoyable forms of ed- ucation is travel, the value of which neeils no argument. Apart from the informa- tion and experience to he gained and the resulting breadth of mind, a conspicuous by-product is a deej) and renewed aj)pre- ciation of advantages which had become so familiar as to seem commonplace. The writer has been traveling lately, not far afield, hut to various schools within strik- ing distance of the Hub. In every case he returned to Arlington with a keen sense of satisfaction that the authorities of Arlington had shown such good taste in their school structures in gen- eral and in the high school in particular. He does not assume for a moment the “better than thou” attitude of the Phari- sees, but it would be well if the jmpils of this school could visit neighboring in- stitutions of learning and compare their own accommodations with those of oth- ers. The result would be in the main largely in favor of Arlington, and 1 feel sure that there would be a deeper realiza- tion of tbe benefits wbicli are available in this town. And if they could attend any of those schools for any length of time, the difference would be very appar- ent. We certainlv bave pride in this school, an honest, modest jiride which is entirely justifiable, not a jiride wbicli “vaunteth itself before men.” But doesn’t this pride impose upon all of us a certain obliga- tion? If W'e live in and enjoy a line school, should we not show our apjne- ciation by a higher standard of conduct, a livelier sense of loyalty to the school, and a deeper feeling of responsibility iii the proper jierforniance of all the activi- ties connected therewith? I think so. We have many things which the average school cannot possess, simply because our school spirit impels us to the jiroper use of them. We do things here which are unheard of in some jilaces only because we do not abuse our privileges. Therefore, let it be the aim of each and every one of us so to fashion our school life that a continu- ance of these privileges may be j)ermitted to us and the addition of greater ones hoped for!

HOCKEY The hockey season has closed for a while, after a season of ups and downs. Arlington seemed to play poor style in the open ing games but toward the middle of the season they “came hack” and after that they were unconquerable. But their start came too late. Newton, for the sec- ond year in succession, clinched the title. Arlington finished fifth but a longer sea- son would have meant a higher place for Arlington. Arlington played a fair game with Brookline. — o — Brookline, 2; Arlington, 2 1st game Arlington played Brookline in the last league game of the season in the Arena. From the start to the first half it looked all Brookline. But when the second half started, the tune changed. It was the fast- est, best played game of the year. Gil- lespie played a perfect game while Keefe ran him a close second. “Mike” Adams was supposed to play goal but he was everywhere. He got ’em though no mat- ter how hard or fast they came. Two slipped in but Arlington returnetl the favors a few seconds later. At the end of the second half Arling- ton’s score was 2 and Brookline’s was the same. Two five minute overtime periods were played and one 14 minute “sudden death” but neither side could score. In a return game, the play off, Arling- ton out-played, out-classed, and out-point- ed Brookline to the tune of 2-1. The season being over, the fans may see who’s who in our goal shooting stars. Be- low is the number of goals shot by each individual during the past season: Capt. “Bob” Gillespie, r., shot 6 goals. “Jack” Merrigan, r. w., “ 5 “Judge” Lynch, c., “ 4 “Boots” Keefe, p., “ 2 “ Although the other fellows haven’t the credit for the goals, they helped to do their bit, and should get a whole lot of credit too. The election of next year’s captain has not yet taken place, but the candidates for the captaincy are Lynch, Robinson, and Merrigan. The men are good, clean, fast hockey players. The election will take place in the near future. — o — Basket Ball! Girls The two senior teams met on the Gym floor to try their luck against their own classmates. The game was slow with the whistle blowing all the time. “Dodie” Rice was the star basket shooter of her team, while I). Jukes and M. Thellar played well for the other team.

It was through his unceasing efforts that the class of 1917 were able to jiresent to the school the ser- vice Hag with 10.5 stars on it. Although he has gone out into the College of Hard Knocks, he has left a piece of work which we can remember him by. Francis Maguire bas been studying Radio at a private school in Boston. He is very efficient in this line of work but his eve sight prohibits him from enlisting in the Radio School. He is now working for the Arlington Gas Company. Herbert L. Collins, ’17. THE AHUNGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 17 MILITARY DEPARTMENT OUR SERVICE FLAG o Proudly floating aloft in the breeze, Close under the folds of Old Glory, A pure white flag o’erstrewn with stars Proclaims to the world its story. What does it mean? And why are those stars Of blue and gleaming gold? Oh! here is a tale we’re proud to tell Of courage and love untold. For every star is a true blue lad Who has gone to fight the Hun, And those of gold are the five bright lads Who an officers’ rank have won. Its field of white is our righteous cause; Its border of red is strength; And just as Old Glory pr otects it here. Will it float o’er our hoys at length. Do you wonder that A. H. S. is proud Of that flag and for what it stands? And she’ll never cease to sound the jjraise Of her hoys in the Allied lands. Charlotte Butler, ’18.

The honor not only comes to this star battery hut also to Arlington and Arlington High School. There are six Arlington hoys in th is battery, of which five we have claim to. Wilfred Hurley, who was formerly a first class gunner in the Coast Artillery, was one of the first to volunteer for ser- vice in Battery A. He was followed by William Barry, Charles Doughty, Minot Edwards and Joseph Zwinge. Our words of praise are really too poor to express our appreciation of what they are doing for their country and according to official reports, the spirit in which Battery A and the rest of our hoys went into battle will go down in the world’s history. C. L. K. ’17. 18 TIIK AHLINCTOX HKIII SCHOOL CLARION Somewhere in France, Jan. 20, 1918. Dear Charlie: Many times when reading difierent pieces of literature by various authors I wondered if they wrote from an imaginary view-point or if by chance there was truth and real live experience in their stor’es. After reading an article in Collier’s maga- zine named “Sending Them Over,” by James B. Connoly, I wondered who in my battalion could possibly have told him about our trip, so he could write it so true to life. It is one of the American soldier’s hard- est problems to write an interesting letter home to his friends. Most all of the real exciting and interesting events that hap- pen over here, are outside the rules of cen- sorship. Most every day I see many in- teresting subjects but firmly believing as the rest of my company does, to live up to regulations, I am unable to write the inci- dents home. However, I will endeavor to write as nearly as possible a description of the ord- inary French manner of living, and the life of myself and comrailes over here. As I write to you I am sitting on my hunk in the barracks and the rush of water coming down from the springs in back of us would remind one of the rundjling of the tide at Revere. This section of the country is in a very high altitude. The people here do not seem to realize the ad- vantage of water j)ower as they let it rush wildly winter and summer down to the coast unchecked, while they still thrash their oats and wheat with flails. They use the queerest farming implements, cook over ohl-fashioned open hre-places and shulfle around in wooden shoes. Most all their buildings are two-story affairs with few windows and three or four doors. To look at them from the outside one would never realize that the first door is probably the cow shed, followed by the kitchen, pig stable and last the horse, hen and sheep barn so that one hnds a complete farm under one roof. The buildings are of cement construction and the roofs are cov- ered with red tiling of composition which hooks on to cross pieces wired to the beams. The ordinary French housewife is sure handy doing fancy needle work. The men do very rough but serviceable work in carpentry and farming. Our work is about the same from day to day. As we were the first battalion in this branch of service to land here, we are very far advanced and will soon make things hum for some of Wilhelm’s rela- tives. My pal, Joe Gahm, and I are kept busv laughing most every day between drills at another pal of ours named “Jamaica” Gorman, esterday, for instance, he got a song from liome entitled, “Somewhere in France there’s a Lily” and he was grooming a big mule whose chief enjoy- ment is to try and kick the roof off the stable. While busy at this he sang a parady ending with, “somewhere in France there’s a lily where skunk cabbage ought to grow.” If it wasn’t for some fellows to make things laughable tins game would be one continual drudge, day in and day out. If you ever saw him rounding up a few mules that got loose or heard him holla at them when they start a kicking duel, you would think he was some “Lily” all right. There is not much more I can say only that both Joe and myself are enjoying perfect health and both wish to thank you for the Clakions, also send our best re- gards to all. Sincerely yours, Forhest Gameron. ’18. THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 10 Somewhere in France, January 11, 1918. Dear Editor: I received a copy of the Clarion to- night just as I was coming from mess. I had Ireen standing in the mess line for some time, in the rain and cold and was feeling anything hut good natured. After I got my rations, the sergeant called out my name and gave me my mail. It was the Clarion and I can tell you I spent a very pleasant evening reading it. That’s just one instance of good you are doing by sending the Clarion to the hoys in France. It is a splendid idea and will he highly appreciated by all the hoys in the service who were students at Arlington High sometime previous to their enlist- ment. The Honor Roll is another good idea. It gives us all a chance to get in touch with each other by mail. We, who are “over here” are all in France somewhere hut France is a large country I have found and the various outfits are spread all over the country. I wish I could tell you something in- teresting and exciting. That I could do if the censor would permit it; but my stories would be nothing compared with the great tale of victory that is sure to come to the allied nations. How soon, we do not know, hut we are hound to win. It is just a matter of a little more time and then it will he all over. It is a wonderful experience for us here and there is something happening all the time. One thing that impresses the U. S. soldiers here is the peculiar style of build- ing construction, especially in the small villages for the most part the troops are quartered in country places. As farmers, the French people are very efficient hut they are handicapped greatly by the absence of men, and the women and old men do all the work. The customs are crude and they are years behind the U. S. The women, even in the winter do their washings in the public wash houses, usually built over a canal or some stream of running water. I watched some thirty women scrubbing clothes on the stone the other day at the edge of the canal. Their hands were red and chapped but they seemed very happy despite all their misfortunes. I put my hand in the water and it sent shivers up and down my spine. The French people are happy, light- hearted and very generous. The same is true among the poor as well as the rich. They are very kind to the American sol- diers and do all in their power to make them comfortable. As you know, I am with an engineer regiment. At present our main work is that of construction and there is much of that to he done. An engineer outfit re- ceives infantry training and is fully equipped lor fighting, hut its main work is along all engineering lines. Captain George I. Cross is with us and is a great asset to the outfit. He is very much a soldier and is more than well liked by the men and officers. There are also some ten or fifteen Arlington boys in the outfit hut I am not certain whether they are alumni or not. The winter here is not unlike the winters at home in many resjiects. It is damp here m ost of the time and colds are very prevalent. It is very essential to keep in the best of health here to ward olf sick- ness. We will all he glad when the winter is over and the warm weather conies again. I have had some interesting experiences and have seen some wonderful sights. Sometime I hope I shall he able to tell you about them. This is a rambling letter and will need a lot of copy-reading if it should by chance go to press. If it interests yon 20 THK AHUNC.TOX IIKHI SCHOOL CLARION in any way, well and good, but my main oljject in writing is to thank you for the paper and wish vou all success in your work. I want to say in closing that il any of you fellows are considering enlist- ing in any overseas unit, don’t neglect your French. I find that at least all of my three years’ study with Miss Trask was not in vain. Part of it at least sunk in for Pm the interpreter for the hand in which I play. Hoping to hear from you again, I remain. Sincerely, Wilton S. J. ruine, ’12. Somewhere in France, Recently. Dear Miss Littlefield: At last I grab time by the forelock and hold him long enough to scratch off a few lines. He may get away before I finish this letter epistle and if he does, Fll have to get away too. I little thought a couple of years ago this time, that I would he over here now under such conditions, and also little did I think that I would he using the French that I wasn’t studying to such good advan- tage over here. It is really quite amus- ing to one who has a little knowledge of French to listen to one’s comrades trying to make the French people understand what they want. Between the two j)eoples a language has sprung up now that works out satisfactory. This language has in it about ten words and a hundred signs and when properly combined produces the desired results. We sometimes go off on little parties and as I am usually the only one who has even the slightest knowledge of French, it devolves upon me to order the dinner and since we Americans are such high eat- ers I have to keep ordering almost con- tinually, the result is that since I am the victim the people begin to call me “gour- mand,” and of course I eat the least of any of the party. Lately, we have been so busy that there has been very little time for parties. We are up before davHght and work till after dark, this has been our program and the result is that we have precious little time for ourselves. I'here are quite a few other Arlington High boys in the battery but I hartlly think you are acijuainted with them. I had a letter from Paris last night from Francis Maguire’s father who is over on business and I certainly was glad to hear from him. He said that Francis was trying hard to get into service, but was rather unsuccessful because of his eyes. I do not know whether to be glad or sorry. I think there are j)lenty of others better fitted for service who could take his place and furthermore, I think they should be made to do it. Well time is getting a bit restless, so I shall have to cut il short. By the way if my brother Fred is in any of your classes see that he works harder than I did. It will do him good. Give my regards to my friends in the old school and write to your friend. Sincerely, Bill Barry, ’16. from you but silence and very little uv thot ! TIIK AHLINGTON HIGH SGHOOL CI.AIHON 21 Who’s Who In The Arlington High School THE CLARION BOARD o Stackpole, business manager, Is never known to fail, His persistency brings many ads Which bring our paper kale. We used to deem Charles Palmer A very modest lad. But now he wears red ties, and tries To drive his teachers mad. Oh, Preston Baudreau is the youth Whose voice is like Caruso His face might stop a clock, hut it Was never known to do so, Elizabeth Hoxie a maiden is On whom we can rely No matter what she’s asked to do. It’s done without a sigh. Mister Kennedy’s a clever man; He comes to school to show it. He’s just the man for Wilson’s job But the president doesn’t know it. Margaret Johnson, the freshman “Ed” Mysteriously keeps from view Tho her copy we are glad to get. We’d like to see her too. Herbert Collins, revered P. G. Sells lunch checks like a streak He’s a really handsome man, altho. He’s sometimes called a freak. Er nest Spaulding, quiet man A minister will he. He subscribes to “Snappy Stories” so His virtue you can see. Norman Rosie, long and lean Is double jointed, for His head is in the clouds, altho His feet are on the floor. We’ll take up Johnny Morgan now, Jlis voice resembles thunder; While still a child, he won the name Of “Oscar, Infant Wonder.” Miriam Crosby’s on mv list, — I should say something nice; But I do not know the lady, so This mention must suffice. One member of our hoard has died. Ham Marple he has went; I'pon his tombstone let us write “To Tufts his soul was sent.” Who now is talking in the hall?

On March 26, Kennedy, in behalf of the class of 1917, presented to the school a service flag. A. H. S. is represented in every branch of the service by 10.5 former students. There is some confusion as to the meaning of gold stars on a service flag. Our fine gold stars staiul for as many commissioned officers, for, as the Kaiser will learn to his cost, there are no “dead ones” on the A. fl. S. honor roll.

All, who is now mounting the ju(lgnient seat? The Clarion! Impatience seizes those who, standing in a long, even line liefore the lofty chair, are awaiting trial.

A loud, clear voice resoumls throughout the hall, causing the timid to shiver still more violently, the mighty to become more defiant than ever. . o “The Mercury from Milwaukee,” the Clarion calls. “You appear among the largest and most ilefiant. Well, that is your right! You certainly are strong, gooddooking, and well-develojied. “The Crows,” the story which you told, is hue. You are, indeed, aliout the most interest- ing of all. o “Ah, and who is that little one vainly striving to conceal himselt liehind his larger comrades!

The ■Kernel’ is also very neat appearing while the ‘Sagamore’ excells in the literary line. o “Dean ‘Megaphone,’ you are very good indeed, hut where are the exchanges? Don’t you ever want a turn on this judg- ment seat? on certainly are ahead of them all in your splendid roll of honor! “There’s the ‘Commerce Life’ way from Columbus, Ohio! You are interesting.

The High School ‘Journal’ from Milton! ’ion are very neat, ‘Journal,’ hut you don’t seem to have any stories to tell and I can’t seem to find your exchanges.” But now the Winchester “Recorder” rushes forward proclaiming the cuts and school notes of the Clarion are good. And then confusion reigns supreme. All, talking at once, move away in dilTerent directions, some toward the north, some toward the east, some toward the south, and some toward the far west. PRIDE IN ONE’S FLOWERS is a most natural pride, for it is akin to nature. She who loves flowers must ever be refined. If pavements and buildings surround you — do not deny yourself the refining influence of beautiful flowers.

H. S. This new spirit of competu. )u and of business strife may a] peal to most of them, hut they will surelv look k on the genial, friendlv spirit of this s. 1 with more fondness than they have thou themselves capable of feeling during 1 their four years here. This is one of e few schools where there is almost nothing hut good feeling between teachers and pu- pils. 191o leaves believing firmly as a class that there never was a better faculty than the one with which it has worked; and that there never was a better high school, lower classmen and all, than the A.

Our exercises this evening will not be elaborate nor in any way different from other graduations. Nevertheless our de- parture from this dear ohl, rather I should say new high school, is of very great im- portance to us as indeed it is to every graduating class. We have no intention of discussing war topics with you tonight. Do not be mis- taken as to our interest in this vital mat- ter, however, for most assuredly we, more than other classes who have gone before us perhaps, are interested in the present condition and the future outcome of the confused turmoil into which we are being thrust. Because of this confusion, and in or ler to avert your attention for a hriel space, from the seemingly never ending discussions on war topics, it is our inten- tion and desire to review for our own bene- fit and yours a little of the past history of Menotomy. I would also like to give you a brief outline of our high school life from the time when we first entered the old build- ing now known as the Junior High School. Never will we forget our freshman year. Owing to the nundjer of students enrolled in our class, which reached 170, we vyere obliged to attend school in the afternoon so as to allow the other classes enough room in the morning. Our first year passed rather dully without any class or- ganization or mutual intercourse. It was at the end of this year that Mr. Mitchell, our principal, with whom we had hardly become acquainted, left Arlington to take up his work elsewhere. In our sophomore year we were estab- lished in this beautiful new high school with a feeling and ambition prevalent among us to accomplish something and to buckle down to business. We met our new princi})al, Mr. Clerk, a man and a friend ready to lend us a helping hand at all times. Under his guidance and direc- tion we organized as a class and immedi- ately set to work. It is our pride and pleasure to say that we were the first Soph- omore class to hold a social. We gave this social in honor of the seniors, and it was a great success. We finished our second year well satisfied that we had be- come more thoroughly acquainted than we had been at first. It was with great sorrow and regret that we saw our esteemed friend and helper, Mr. Clerk, depart from our midst for a locality in which he could exercise greater powers and energy. The next year we came back with a feeling of greater responsibility resting upon us. Our class was re-organized and more interest began to be shown in the school’s welfare. We were introduced with the rest of the school to our new head- master, Mr. Wallace. The year passed successfullv and the yearly social which, accortling to custom, was given to the seniors was an enjoyable event. Then came our last year which tonight brings to a close. We entered the school building at the beginning of the term with a very important bearing, wishing to hold ourselves well in the eyes of the lower classmen. And again we were introduced to a new leader who was to guide us through our final year. And certainly Mr. Burtt, our esteemed ami honored prin- cipal, whom we have the delight to call our friend, has guided us faithful Iv and wisely, and we know that if he remains, the classes which come after us will be THE AHUNC.TON HIGH SCHOOI. GLAHIOX n glad to know liini as a friend and advisor. Our minds were made up to finish well, and we feel confident of having done so. We missed our main su] port at the first of the year, Mrs. Wood, our former class advisor of two years having departed from our midst, but we found in Miss Magner, our new advisor, a ready and willing helji- er who quickly set us on the road for a successful year from a social standpoint. Through her elTorts and advice we en- tertained the Juniors with a social which crowned all our expectations. For the past two months we have been preparing for the class day exercises and graduation with a vim. Also we have been exchang- ing our class pictures as most of you par- ents are aware I fancy. In former years a few members only of our class left school, Init this year our members, es- pecially among the hoys, have been leav- ing for various brandies of work. Some have left us to unite their efforts with Uncle Sam in his fight against autocracy. Others have left during the last two months to keep those who joined the col- ors in fighting trim, namelv as shipbuild- ers or farmers most of whom have re- turned to graduate with us this evening. The number who have honored us by en- tering the service is eight, of whom we are proud inrleed. And now it seems fitting that we should extend our gratitude towards our teachers who have heljied us through our school life, advising us when necessary, and keeping us at our work. So this evening we have gathered together to bid a last larewell to the school as we depart to take up our work in a broader field or to continue our education for the benefit of mankind. Ami again I bid you welcome in behalf of the class of 191(5. Jordan Silver, President of 1918. Valedictory ARLINGTON THEN AND NOW If you were to visit the Arlington of 143 years ago, you would find it very different in appearance from the Arling- ton of today. et you would discover that the peoj)le were much the same in spirit and character as those here now. It is from these early inhabitants that we have received our heritage of noble tra- dition and jirecedent. The old name of our town, “Menotomy,” means the “Source of Many Waters”; and Arlington has indeed proved the “Source of Many Waters,” — of patriotism, loyalty, bravery, shrewdness, wit, and resourceful- ness. The origin of our town dates back to the time when the flistrict was sold to the settlers l)y the Sfpiaw Sachem, widow of the Sagamore. She received in return nineteen fathom of wamjjum, three bushels of corn, and twenty-one coats. But the most interesting part of our town history centers around Revolution- ary times. When the British marched through Arlington on their way to Con- cord, they foimtl the inhaltitants of the town already aroused. As they passed under the ancient elms which shaded the Alewife Brook, old Mr. Samuel Whitte- more heard them and saw their gleaming bayonets, hut he made no noise until they were well passed. Then he ro.se to j)ie- pare his arms for the fight. He found, however, that his son, Amos, sixteen years of age, had preceded him, and was bring- ing out two old discarded muskets. The l)oy had Ijeen given no gun but had secret- ly mended the seemingly useless weapons. 10 THE ARLINGTON HK'.H SCHOOL CI.AHION and insisted upon going out to fight. He was left, however, to guard his mother and the children. Thus was courage and patriotism demonstrated in these times liy young America. In the house of a shoemaker near Schou- ler Court, the British soldiers saw a ray of light shining out, and paused to inquire whv the occupants were astir at such an hour. The housewife replied that her “old man was sick and she was making some herb tea.” This answer satisfied the soldiers, and they went on. They would not have been so easy in mind, however, had they knowm that the shoemaker had thrown himself on the bed at their aj)- proach, and his wife had tipped into the fire the mass of pewter they were melting to make bullets. The next day, some of the Britishers tasted the shoemaker’s herb tea to their discomfort. In these brave people, are shown the streams of courage and resourcefulness which are still llow- ing. On the following day, reinforcements came for the British. As they marched ujj the road, the troo])s met a little girl, Nal)- hy Blackington by name, who was tend- ing her cow. That morning, the old men of the town, “the exempts,” asseml)led in front of the Cooper Tavern, in the center of the town, and alone and unaided they captured a tr.oin of ammunition wagons which was being sent to Lord Percy. Several of the drivers were killed, hut six escajred and lied down the valley through what is now' Pleasant Street. There they surrendered themselves to old “Mother Batherick” as she was calmly picking dandelions. “When you go hack to England,” she saitl, “tell the king that one old woman took six grenadiers.” The S(piih afterwards went the rounds of the town, “If it takes one woman to capture six British soldiers, how' long will it take for them to conquer America?” The pris- oners w'ere taken home by Mother Bather- ick, and delivered uj). They were treated with great courtesy until they were ex- changed. The kindness w'hich thev re- ceived was equaled throughout the town, where the women tended the w'ounded British as well as their ow'n men. It was a crazed and disorganized army which returned that same afternoon through Arlington. Goailed by defeat, they were far different from the confident grenadiers who had let little Nabby pass. They were hard jjressed by the Colonists hidden behind walls and buildings, but the rear guard found time to enter the houses, j)l under and burn them, and abuse the helpless. Among the homes they tried to destroy was that of Deacon Joseph Adams. The deacon had left the house, believing the women and children would not he harmed. W hen the British entered, Mrs. Adams was lying in bed with her infant child, while the other children crouched under it. The soldiers j arted the curtains and pointed a bayonet at her breast. At her cries for mercy, they replied, ‘A ou may go out of the house and we won’t hurt you, but we are going to burn it down.” She threw a blanket around her and dragged herself to the barn. The children, hearing the tramj) of feet, could not quell their curiosity, and Joel Adams, a hoy of nine years, peered out! “Why don’t you come out?” asked one of the soldiers. “(iause you’ll kill me if 1 do,” respond- ed the child. “No we won’t,” they j)romised, and the boy followed them around as they pillaged his father’s house. But when they started to carry off the communion silver, of which Deacon Adams was the custodian, Joel protested vigorously. THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 11 “Don’t touch them ’ere things,” he said. “Daddy’ll lick you if you do.” The sol- diers, however, paid no heed, but took away the silver and pawned it. It was found later, and the deacons redeemed it at their own expense, and restored it to the church. When the soldiers had gone, the chil- dren came out from under the bed, and put out the fire, at the expense of a pot of home-brewed ale and some water from a cask outside. Another victim of the British was Mr. Samuel Whittemore. He was overtaken as he was crossing an open field, and be- ing lame, he could not escape. He man- aged, however, to use his wea])ons to good advantage, before he was l)ayonetted, beaten and left for dead. Later a woman in Charlestown heard a grenadier remark, “We killed an old devil there in Menotomy, hut we paid most too dear for it, — lost three of our men, the last one died this morning.” Mr. Whittemore was not dead, how- ever, for he recovered from his wounds to live more than ten years longer. The man most feared by the British in their ignominous retreat that day, was a seasoned hunter on a white horse, who picked oft the red-coats with unfailing accuracy of aim. He might he called the original of our snipers and sharpshooters. Little wonder, after such a fray that the good minister of the j)arish wrote in his diary this prayer: “Scatter, Oh Lord, those who delight in blood! For the sighing of the oppressed and needy, make bare tby almighty arm for their help! Teach our hands to war, ah, and our fingers to fight, since in thy providence we are called to this.” But it is not alone in Revolutionary times that Arlington has shown her stand- ard. She is still the “Source of Manx Waters.” The springs and the streams of her patriotism, loyalty, resourcefulness. and courage, are still flowing, as they have flowed down through all her history. She has not been slow to give her sons to the cause of liberty. Five hundred and twenty of her men are in camp, on the sea, or in the trenches. Nor have the women of the town proved unworthy of their fore-runners. The Red Cross re- jjorts show that many thousand articles have been, made for tbe relief of tbe wounded, and tbe comfort of our soldiers. Two ami one-half millions have been raised in Arlington for Liberty Bonds. For the Y. M. C. A. war work S14,()()0 has been contributed, of whicb was earned and given by the boys of this school. Besides this, .$42,000 has been collected in the two Retl Cross drives and ■$40,000 has been raised in Thrift Stamps. Tbe Arlington High School, too, is liv- ing up to the pattern of loyalty and patri- otism set for it. One hundred and thirtv- five stars wave on its service flag, eight boys from the class of 191o alone have taken their places under the standard of liberty. Of 207 boys who registered in tbe school of May 20, 107 worked regularly afternoons, 126 worked Saturdays, and 1 14 bad regular summer positions. Ten were doing their part on the farms, and 19 in the shi])yards, while lo more had vol- unteered to go. Besides the boys, 75 girls desired to bear their share of the burden by xvorking during the summer. It is into a world of war and struggle which we, the class of 1918, must enter. It is with high hope and courage which we undertake the task set before us. We have been equipped well by tbe generos- ity of Arlington’s citizens. We are stimu- lated l)y tbe traditions of Arlington and the example of our fathers. With God’s help, we will try to uphold her traditions and to be worthy of our nol)le forbears, that Arlington’s future history may l)e as stainless and as glorious as her jxast.

It was founded four years ago by accident or some other un- toward circumstances. In looking over the records I find that this class is with- out question tlie noblest institution of its kind in existence. I think that every one here present, with the possible exception of the faculty and the three lower classes will agree with me. I had hoped to get some information from the records of the secretary, hut about all the “respectfully submitted” contained was the announcement that President Silver had asked the class to pay its dues, and was liacked by the class advisor. Our first year rvas spent, wasted, or otherwise neglected in the old Cotting High. Our high school life began with an insult for the school committee decided that since it was impossible for us to rise before 10 A. M. our hours would be from 11.45 to 4 P. M. However, it served as a beautiful excuse for poor lessons as it had been carefully explained to us just how our intellects were incapable of efficient work in the afternoon. Since the old schedule has again come into effect, Eddy Hutchinson has had to look up some new excuses, which, rumor tells us, have not been so successful. The Tardy List has also grown, and now strongly resembles a list of “among those present” at the Fireman’s Ball. To tell the truth, though, this plan had its good ])oints. No Seniors to ignore us; no Juniors to ridicule us; no Sophs to look us over (or over us I with a haughty and superior stare. Of course the facultv was there, but its attitude toward us was the same as usual ; a sort of amused toler- ation. Our merit was demonstrated later in the year bv Wm. Severence. Willy was a pre- cocious child, bringing home second prize from the speaking contest at Amherst. There were several comjjetitors in our own school, and it was queer that Willy won, for he was usually a silent man — if prac- tice had made perfect, Rebecca Stickney from the records of the secretary, but al- would have had a walkover, but {Cen- sored ) . At the close of the year, four pupils stood out as those who had paid most dili- gent attention to their studies; never go- ing out at night, nor causing undue dis- turbance in classes. They were Wm. Sev- erence, Nathan Wood, Cecilia Freeman and I — I’m too modest to say who the other one was. On returning to school in the fall, we found an elegant new edifice awaiting us. It was built on the town dump, with a strong foundation of ashes and tomato cans. The front was adorned by a pile of cobblestones, and a beautiful view' of the swamps and gas works was obtained from the rear hay windows. The building has since sunk two or three inches in the back, but it was getting so dissipated that all will concede the desirability of its settling down. Due credit must be given to our THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 13 janitors, liowever; for in the short time since 1914 they have converted the school grounds into one of the beauty spots of the town. As Sophomores, we took up the idea of representative government very assimi- latively, having one or more representa- tives in the office at all times. Some were voluntarily present, and alas, some were not. Silver was there so often that they reserved a special chair for him. He used to come in about quarter past nine; hang his hat on the electric light button and his coat on the doorknob; then settle himself for the morning. He has reformed since, I am glad to say. Several of our members joined a wire- less club which was formed that year. This club met in the Lab and its researches into wireless consisted mainly of burning mag- nesium ribbon; and its lectures were, though not educational, very instructive. Along in the winter we gave a social, presenting the play “Scenes in the Union Depot,” and pink ice cream to the Seniors. This was the first, and incidentally the last social ever given in the A. H. S. by a Sophomore class. Another evidence of our peerless worth. Arbor Day was celebrated by the plant- ing of a tree with appropriate exercises. Its growth is much like the gains on the Western front. Its height has increased about three-sixteenths of an inch in the past three years. Mr. Mitchell had departed at the end of our first year, and Mr. Clerk had taken his place. He was a rather aggressive gen- tleman, and wore cowboy hats, black how ties, and a corduroy vest. He left us to go to Seattle, Wash., and is now located at Cleveland, 0., as Sujjerintemlent of Schools. The J unior year began with a new prin- cipal in the chair, Mr. B. Holmes Wallace by name. He was a quiet, unobtrusive per- son; never thrusting himself into any gath- ering whose purpose he might have mis- construed. In consequence of these de- lightful traits he was liked by all. Mrs. Wood, until that year old class ad- visor, left the teaching profession to be- come Mrs. Connor. She had been a great help to us ever since the organization of the class, and we tried to show a little of our affection and esteem by a small wed- ding gift. A social was kindly tendered us by the Seniors in the winter. A cabaret show was put on and while it could not meas- ure up to ’IB standard, it was nevertheless very creditable work for sucb untalented talent. We held a return social which was dis- tinguished for its quiet air of peaceful tranquility, although no decision was rendered. In the first place, some mis- guided individuals conceived the brilliant idea of sbowing Ham Marple the exterior of the beautful new Bedford High School. Interested bystanders have told us that Ham did not seem to appreciate his ride, and one even said, though doubtless be was excited by the affair so that he exag- gerated somewhat, that the guest of honor actually remonstrated with his hosts, and could not appreciate their kind atten- tions. While this sightseeing tour was in prog- ress, the building was being held by a few heroic Juniors against an army of be- sieging Seniors. Silver, in bis gentle coax- ing manner, and Mike Adams, with his winning personality, by doing a Httle mis- sionary work, persuaded the army to dis- band. Marple finally having been returned, the Seniors were admitted and the entertain- ment commenced. This was entitled “Her Busy Day,” and it seemed at the time that the name was exceedingly appropri- ate. Prof. LIrquhart dismissed the social at 11.30 and we separated to our respective. 14 THE AHUNETON IIIEH SCHOOL Cl.AHION and in some cases, respectable, domiciles; tired but bappy, and feeling that a good time had been enjoyed by all. Truth is mighty and will prevail. Parents’ night, which had been inaug- urated the previous year, was again cele- brated with the usual preparations and festivities. Everjhody in their nice new clothes (even Reedy had on a clean col- lar I, reciting the same lesson they had studied all the previous week, for the ap- probation of anxious fathers and mothers, who peered in through the door to see if little Oscar and Genevieve were there. The excitement of the evening may he illus- trated hy relating how Robert Smith, one of our renowned class mates, forgot his coat and had to sit through the evening in his vest, clothed in dignity and a sense of being the cynosure of admiring eves. Thus endeth the Junior year. 1917 opened with several changes in the faculty. Mr. Wallace had been re- placed by Mr. Carl D. Burtt, a large, per- sonal gentleman, who was not gentle aiul retiring. His personality seems very mag- netic, drawing many bubble-stealers and other individually - irresponsible young Americans to his lair I be sure to spell that right, printer! ) for repentance and repara- tion. He has one trait, and I mean this seriously, which everyone under him rec- ognizes and appreciates. That is his sense of fairness. He forces no one to become a “squealer” nor give information about a classmate who may have indulged in a little innocent mischief. He also wears squeaky shoes, so that his approach is rec- ognized and heeded hy the discreet. Silver, according to his habit, was pres- ident, and Miss Magner, as per ancient Senior tradition, held down the class ad- visor’s job. The first important event of the year was the organization of the Blue Room Club. The meeting place is just outside the Assendrly Room doors, and the time, j)iomptly at the fourth hour every Thurs- day, just before music period. The only office is that of treasurer, but this cannot be announced till after the dead are count- ed. Propagandists have gotten in their dastardly work on Mr. Burtt and he has suppressed the club by forcing it to be seated when the bell rings. Along in February, the Seniors took the principal part in a cantata presented at the Town Hall by the entire school. The chorus was seated on some bleachers which had begun life as a display stand in a delicatessen. However, the expected did not happen. This was the hrst public appearance of the Quondam Quartet, con- sisting of Reed, Smith, Gallagher, and any convenient Klaxon horn. Outside of this the performance went off very well. The socials were held as usual, but no riots occurred. The Seniors gave the “Fol- lies of 1918” and the success was so great that the absence of a banner was un- noticed. A recruiting scene was put on, and any soldier or sailor desiring full and complete information as to how to enlist recruits was shown the proper way not to do it. Bandreau sang “I Don’t Want to Get Well,” and judging from the stage setting of nurses I didn’t much blame him. The Juniors in turn, presented “the Ju- nior Extra.” It was rather extra, and superfluous, but that is neither here nor there. The principal feature was the way Brown got outsitle of a half peck of ap- ples and sat on the Junior Banner all night long; probably hoping to hatch out a flock of pennants . The Seniors also helped raise the neces- sary postage to send the Clarion overseas by holding a masquerade. Well this history is finished. I thank you for your consideration. In closing I wish to state there is one advantage in speaking before a school; the audience is never allowed to leave the hall. I thank you. C. A. Palmer, ’18. THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 15 Class Prophecy of the Class of 1918 Prologue — Baudreau. If you will transport yourselves with me to the little village of Camhrai in the devastated section of France, seven years hence in the year 1925, three years after the close of the great war, you will meet some old friends, and perhaps learn some- thing about the members of the class of 1918. Exit — Curtain Keefe — Wasn’t I surprised this morn- ing when one of the boys in the office told me that an Arlington fellow had just ar- rived to join the Reconstruction Unit here at Camhrai! And when I discovered that it was a classmate of mine, I couldn’t wait any longer to see you. Rice — Let me tell you its mighty good to find someone from home over here. K. — I am crazy to hear about every- one in Arlington; but wait a minute, you remember Preston Baudreau. He’s over here in the Ordnance Department, and I told him to meet us here at 10 o’clock. No use telling anything until he comes. He would make you repeat it anyway. R. — Isn’t this he now? Hasn’t grown a bit taller, either. [Greet Baudreau] Baudreau — Well, Rice, what’s the latest news from Arlington? R. — Say, the whole town was all stirred up when I left. Do you remember “Ham” Marple, the Clarion pen and ink artist? Well, just before I left “Ham” had startled Arlington by eloping with Esther Gan- nett. Some sensation ! K. — I always knew Esther was a wild one, but who’d have thought it of “Ham.” R- — You remember our old colleague, “Mike” Adams, who succeeded Urquhart as Chief of Police? Say, I know a good one on him. They got his goat for fair the other night. He think’s he’s quite a detective, you know, and when Dorothy Roberts, who married “Hobey” Baker, telephoned down that a strange man was poking around the house, “Mike” hot- footed it down to make a sensational ar- rest. It was only “Hobey,” all blacked up from a minstrel show, late as usual, trying to get into his own house without disturbing the neighbors. He couldn’t find the keyhole. B. — Isn’t Joe Rosenherger on the police force, too? K. — Sure, Rosenherger and John Mc- Govern were made traffic cops before I left. R. — Say, Erford Kemp was on the transport that brought me over. He’s an ensign now, got his commission before the end of the war. He’s crazy about the service and means to stay in it. K. — A lot of our fellows are staying in the Navy. Meaney, Gamester, Peterson and Hurley have all brought credit to the old school. B. — Speaking of bringing credit to the school, did you know that just before the finish of the war, Jordan Silver was awarded the Erench War Cross for excep- tional bravery under fire? R. — Yes, that was the time that John Cadagan and Robert Gillespie were deco- rated for the skill they showed in a raid on the German lines. K. — Football, baseball and hockey cer- tainly trained those three to think and act quickly. THE AHLIN(;T()X high school clarion Hi K. — I brought over a copy of the Ar- lington Advocate. Charles Palmer is editing it now, and he certainly has a live sheet. Here, take it. B. — Let’s see it — What do you know about this. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Hadley (she who was Caroline Bennett I have just purchased a new Ford. Miss Cecelia Freeman is enjoying a va- cation with her mother, resting from her duties as Dean of Radclilfe. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Dawes have just returned from New York, where Mrs. Dawes, who will be remembered as Doris Peale, of Arlington, has just completed a series of concerts. Ed. Hutchinson, with his party of joy- riders: Madeline Thacher, Priscilla Watts, Katherine Bixby and Inez Zecher, have been arrested again for overspeeding. He was arraigned before Judge Nathan Wood and fined $25.00. R. — Fat chance of his paying it. B. — (Reading) — The Misses Gertrude Gilbert, Hazel Hovey, Marion Ogilvie, Ger- trude Salter, Hazel White, Charlotte Hoi- Brook and Ruth Cranston are enjoying their annual vacation at Revere Beach. K. — I guess the sailors down there at- tract them. B. — This is a sensational failure. The firm of McCarthy Fermoyle, makers of the Knock- Em-Dead cigarettes, has just gone into bankruptcy. The manufacturers consumed the total output. R. — Ralph and John certainly knew how' to handle the makings alright. B. — Here’s the announcement of Doro- thy Adams’ engagement. Huh! So Dot had a motive in going into business with her father. K. — Let’s see that paper a minute. See this long honor roll from Arlington. The boys certainly heard the call to the colors. What’s this: Big Red Cross Celebration? (Reads) Return of Arlington L'nit. Red Cross nurses given a rousing reception. R. — Who do we know in that bunch? K. — There’s Sabina Anderson, head nurse, with sub-lieutenants Mildred Allen, Lea Donovan, Dorcas Bishop, Ellen Cur- rie, Loretta Chisholm, Margaret Casey, Ruth Freeman, Ruth Giblin and Dora-thea White. B. — We have been mighty grateful for all those girls have done over here. As Mr. Burtt used to say, they certainly put the town of Arlington on the map. K.- I smell something cooking down- stairs. What wouldn’t I give for a piece of Charley LaBreque’s apple pie, covered w’ith vanilla ice cream. R. — He’s not running that any more. Remember the Murphy twins who used to feed us at the lunch counter? They bought out Charley’s dog-cart and are making a howling success of it. Right next door Doris Jukes is making a striking success on the bowling alleys. B. — Do you know when I was in Paris on furlough last month, I went to Ring- ling Bros.; their circus was in town that week, and I was surprised to see the num- ber of our friends wbo have hit the saw- dust trail. Josephine Maguire, who has won international fame as a lion tamer was there, Vesta Taylor was a bare-back rider. K. — Remember the Castle Clip. B. — Raymond Reed was the chief clown; all he had to do was to act natural. Parks Odenweller, the sword swallower; Edward Colbert, the wild man, and Ros- anna Kelly, the snake charmer. And say fellows, you should have seen Agnes Fleming and .Muriel Buckley in their fly- ing trapeze act. R. — Speaking of amusements, isn’t it strange that so many of our classmates went into the movies. THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 21 deep voice and defiant attitude. Imagine Johnny Morgan. 8. To the strong arm gang of the Ju- nior class, Harold McCarthy, Joe Leary, and Allie Peirce, we bequeath a treatise written by that celebrated patron of pilfer- ing and pillage, Wilhelm der Kaiser, en- titled, “Wie Man Stehlen Kami” which, translated into our own glorious language, signifies, “How to Loot.” 9. To Roger Burtt, on account of a nervous breakdown due to overstudy, we leave a check sufficient to defray expenses for one year at the Rest Cure, Ring’s sana- torium. 10. To Edward Everett Sanianthy Hale a yearly subscription to the Vogue, Elite Styles, and Ladies’ Home Journal, in or- der that he may plan his costumes for the coming year. 11.

One started the entire city of Halifax; maybe two will start Grant. LS. To Chester Nass, by special request of Odenweller, Odie’s height — and feet. 14. To Edward Battey, on bottle of 3 in 1 to oil his musical shoes. He fools us. We think it’s Mr. Burtt coming. 15.

To I'heresa Krasten and Grace Jeradi, the Twins, Darkness and Dawn, two bottles of Mellin’s Food, to he taken faithfully during the summer. 18. To Mills and Mclver, two pairs of boxing gloves and a reminder that Room 24 is no place to stage the world’s championship fight. This is no time for two good Americans to fight each other. 19. To Francis Brown, a store of pen- nies to use in Miss Littlefield’s English speaking Penny-in-the-Slot-Machine. 20. To John Lynch, a large supply of chewing gum. 21. To Ruth Darling and Caroline Shawhan, our best wishes in their neck to neck race for the front seat of Morril Ring’s Cadillac. 22. By special request of Lyons and Collins, the shining lights of the German I class, we bequeath to Hazel Dawes and Ruth Wolff, one last, fond farewell? S. Herbert assures me that Lorraine Coolidge understands and won’t mind. 23. To Westly Johnson we leave some- thing to do. Besides thirteen is an un- lucky number of recitations to have a week. 24. To Walter Coolidge and Alton Tupper, a term at the same Rest Cure as Burtt. 25. To the third floor, the Imp’s Re- treat, we leave a stationary hall cop to supervise the childish pranks at recess. 26. To John Cickering we leave Charles A. Palmer’s brilliant assortment of ties. 27. To Marion Lyons, two hundred yeast cakes, as we fear one will not cause her to rise early every morning of the two hundred school days. 28. To each home room teacher a vac- uum cleaner by which to extract money. I Every other available means has been tried. I 29. To John Lainson, freshman presi- dent and class editor, who attended two meetings of the Clarion Board, first, the one at which we decided what to eat at the 22 TIIK ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION banquet, and second, the one at vviiich we ate it; we leave advice to show interest in class and school organization, and more seriousness of j)urpose. 30. To Robert Smith, that brilliant rep- resentative of the Sophomore class, fear- ing that one side of his nature is as yet undeveloped, we hetjueath Hohi Baker’s ])0])ularity with and interest in the ladies. 31. To Philip Robinson, Junior presi- dent, the same dignity of manner and speech, the envied poj)ularity, and loyalty to the school which our own president, Jordan Silver possesses. We could have no better ideal. 32. To our great and famous officer, Jordan Silver, the only jiresident that the class of ’13 has ever had, we leave, as a reminder of the happy and successful years which we have enjoyed under his leadership, our class banner. 33. To Miss Magner, our beloved class advisor, we leave an untold amount of gratitude and thanks, and our heartiest, most sincere wishes for the hajjpy, pros- perous and brilliant future which she so richly deserves. 34. To Mr. Burtt, who has never failed to inspire our loyalty, and who has held before us a high ideal of Americanism, we leave the hoj)e that he may always hold for us the same high regard which we feel for him, and that the class of 1918 may strengthen his faith in young Amer- ica. 35. There are some among us who, as a little token of the vast amount of knowledge which we have acquired, and the many good times which we have en- joyed at dear old A. H. S., leave, as an individual gift, a l)ook to he j)laced in the school library for the use and benefit of all. 36. To the school, as a fitting and ap- propriate farewell gift, we leave the statue by our distinguished townsman, Mr. Cy- rus Dallin, “Captured hut Not Con- quered.” As we look at the stalwart fig- ure we are filled with pride and faith in our boys. We know that each of the one hundred and thirty-five stars in our service flag stands for just such an indomitable spirit. Captured they may he, but never can they he conquered.

I come not to bury the ivy but to praise it, by delivering to you the greatest ivy oration ever given forth from this rostrum. “The evil that men do lives after them;” if you don’t believe this take a trip to the office and look at my yellow card. It will corrobor- ate my statements. “The good is oft in- terred with their hones” and lest this prove all too true with me ( I know the Faculty will never say anything good of me after I have gone), I will modestly tell you a few of my many good points ere I de- part. I have been chosen by the class of 1918 to deliver this eulogy of our celebrated ivy because of my experience in orating. This is not the first time that I have ap- peared before you. Many a time and oft have 1 stood on these historic boards in company with Lincoln and Washington. “You will recall my several appearances here in leading roles. On all of these occasions my delivery was such as to make Edwin Booth green with envy. My experience is not the prime factor in determining their selection of me. They chose me principally because I’m a scholar ( no explanations are necessary ) and a genius. I know you won’t believe it. Tom Geary looks as if he didn’t be- lieve a word I say. That’s always the way. Folks, that’s the great fault of the past generation, it’s inability to recognize liv- ing genius. Look at Lincoln, considered now to be one of the greatest men that ever lived. People never appreciated him anymore than they do me. They predicted failure for him and how many times have my various teachers predicted failure for me. They sent him anonymous letters and I receive the same in the form of de- ficiency slips. Do you know, the more I think of it the more I realize that Lincoln and I have much in common. Like him I’m tall, gawky, angular and homely. Pardon me for straying so far from my subject, but I deemed it my duty to im- press uj)on your mind that you should learn to recognize and aj)preciate a living genius. My purpose was to tell you some- thing about tbe ivy. We have just planted it outside this institution under its classic shadows where we trust it will become a hardy plant uidike the puny twig of 1916, which perished in the first chill blast of winter, or the modest vine of 1917, which shrank completely from the public gaze. In conclusion let me say in the words of the immortal Tennyson : Here’s to our iv y, long may it thrive. Keeping our memory ever alive; Climbing and reaching up to the sky. That the glory of ’18 never may die. R. Baker. H.T '20 War of High Purposes T is because it is for us a war of high, disinterested purpose, in which all the free people of the world are banded together for the vindication of right, a war for the preservation of our nation and of all that it has held dear of principle and of purpose, that we feel ourselves doubly constrained to pro])ose for its outcome only that which is righteous and of irreproachable intention, for our foes as well as for our friends. The cause being just and holy, the settlement must be of like motive and quality. For this we can fight, but for nothing'less noble or less worthy of our traditions. For this cause we entered the war and for this cause will we battle until the last gun is fired. I have spoken plainly because this seems to me the time when it is most necessary to speak plainly, in order that all the world may know that even in the heat and ardor of the struggle and when our whole thought is of carry- ing the war through to its end we have not forgotten any ideal or principle for which the name of America has been held in honor among the nations and for which it has been our glory to contend in the great generations that went before us. A supreme moment of history has come. The eyes of the people have been opened and they see. The hand of God is laid upon the nations. He will show them favor, I devoutly believe, only if they rise to the clear heights of His own justice and mercy. Class of 1918 — o — Forrest Cameron Charles A.

No douht many would answer, “They are the men who fought for their country.” Tliere is something wrong in tliiuking that only soldiers and sailors can he patriots. What shall w'e call the men, women and children of today who are doing hrave deeds, such as risking their lives for the safety of others, giving aid to the unfortunate, doing things for the uplift of humauity and taking a prominent part in the development of the nation. They certainly are patriots. A man’s country is not an area of mountains, rivers and woods, hut it is principle, and patriot- ism is loyalty to that principle. Supi)ose a man is mistaken or is on the losing side, can he not still he a patriot if he really loves his coun- try? W'e must not forget that men may he [jatriots even though they do not happen to agree with us. In a broad way we may- say that whenever a mem- her of a family, school or any social union, gives up his own person- al desires for the sake of others, that is patriot- ism. Its essential char- acter is the same every- where— loyalty and so- cial service representing an opportunity not re- mote or rare, hut some- thing verv near to us all. In all societies, even in the herds of wild beasts, the safety of the herd depends in some way upon the willingness of its members to make sacrifices for the others. All social advancement depends upon a devotion to the common good. Clara Barton, .ludge Lind- say, Booker Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, and scores of others are striking examples of this devotion. How can we helj) the cause of Patriotism? W'e can do our duty; that is the sum and substance of the whole matter. W'e may not win glory- - we may not do anything especially brilliant or unusual. But if we go about our work with a de- termination to deal fairly, with an iron resolve never to abandon a task once begun until it has been brought to a successful and triumphant con- clusion we are sure to make our country richer and happier through our service. es! to love our country, to work so as to make it strong and rich, to support its govern- ment, to obey its laws, to pay fair taxes into its treasury, to treat our fellow citizens as we like to he treated ourselves — that is to I)e good Amer- ican i)atriots.

Dear Miss Crocker: I am writing to tell you of the death of Joseph W'alter Zwinge of this battery, because he gave yours as his emergency address. On April 15, 1918, in the forenoon he was leading a horse up to the Major's Command Posts and just as he came near, a hurst of German shells flew about him. A splinter entered his eye and knocked h i m uncon- scious. It had entered his head and from the lime of the accident to that of his death, the next day in an Ameri- can Hospital, he never regained consciousness. He was buried in the American Military Cem- etery at Menil-le-Tour. I cannot express w-hat a loss he is to this hat- ter '. Always willing for any work at any hour, ever cheerful, courageous, and absolutely to he trusted to carry out anything most efficiently. Everyone in the battery was his friend and his quiet manner won him great res) ect from all For the battery to a man who thought of him as a true friend and for the officers who re- spected him greatly, 1 offer true sympathy and feeling for such a terrible loss. ■Sincerely yours, Frank A.

C. K. This issue marks the closing of one of the most successful years the Clarion has seen. It has been not only a financial and literary success, but it has accomplished a means of communication between the school and all its former student members in the service. This certainly has met the approval of everyone who has recog- nized its worthy object. In all the let- ters received this year from across and from the naval branches the boys gave the plan their hearty support. This depart- ment owes its origin to Mr. Minard, who first spoke of sending the Clarion to the hoys. It was from his suggestion I worked out the plan of the Military Department, which from the first issue to this one has been entirely successful. This department is to he continued in the Clarion next fall under a new editor, who will need the co-operation of the school. I urge the pupils to give him their hearty support and I am sure the Clarion will he even a greater success. In closing I wish to thank Mr. Minard, Mr. Burtt and the school for the heartv support given me and I wish the new edi- tor of the Military Department and the Clarion the greatest success. Respectfully, Charles L. Kennedy, ’17. o Sh ! Miss Eaton is scouting for success- ors to Spaulding’s boots and Kennedy’s shoes.

Remarkable and Sympathet- ic Rendering of Cowen’s “Rose Maiden,” by A. H. S. Chorus — o — The much heralded per- formance of Cowen’s “Rose Maiden,” was given by a chorus of one hundred A. H. S. students on Friday eve- ning, April 26, 1918, in the Town Hall. The chorus, under the direction of Miss Pierce, sang its best and in consequence won great ap- plause from a large and en- thusiastic audience. The solo parts were rendered by Mrs. Mary Dick, of Arling- ton; Mrs. Helen Hunt, Mr. Ralph Harlow and Mr. William Clapp, all of Bos- ton. The accompanists were the Misses Carolyn Bennett and Eudora Rice, of A. H. S. o Seniors Show Great Ora- torical Powers — o — In accordance with re- quests sent out by the Gov- ernment, A. H. S. has taken up the matter of four-min- ute speeches. These speeches are to deal with isubjedts concerning the war and are to be given before the whole school. In a recent assem- bly four members of the Senior class gave very ex- c e 1 1 e n t and convincing speeches on the following subjects: “What Democra- cy Means,” by Hazel Banks; “The Duties of a Citizen,” by Dorothy Roberts; “Why We are at War,” by Herbert Collins, and “The Red Cross Drive,” by Edward Keefe. In future assemblies the Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen will have a chance to show what they can do toward becoming great orators like the Seniors. o Memorial Day Exercises — o — On Wednesday, May 29, 1918, in a special assembly, the school was honored by the presence of four of Ar- lington’s Grand Army men. Comrades Clark, Barnes, Berthrong a n d Knowles, who told us stories of Civil War days. We sincerely re- gretted the enforced ab- sence of Comrade Parker, who has never failed to give us some message on Memor- ial Day, and we all hope to see him with us next year. o The Clarion Banquet Great Success — Most Brilliant Speeches Ever Delivered in History of School — o— The Clarion Board hehl its annual banquet on Tues- day evening, April 23, 1918, at 6.30 o’clock in the Abbie M.

April 27. — In a hard-fought nine-inning game Arlington beat their old rival, Lex- ington, by a score of 3 to 1. The game was really a pitcher’s battle between the two caj)tains.

This game gave Arlington the lead in the Mystic Valley League. -May 3. — Arlington met first downfall of season in a league game with Water- town. Score of game: Watertown 4, Arl- ington 0.

Marines 14 to 4. Attendance 3. — o — Bitches No-Hit Shutout May 31. — Capt. Reil Cadagan, pitching no-hit, no-run ball, won his own game in a Mystic Valley League contest at Arling- ton, when he scored Arlington High’s only run that defeated its greatest rival, the Lexington High nine, 1 to 0. Cadagan jiitched a great game of ball, fanning 16 batsmen, while performing his unusual stunt on the mound. The game developed into a pitchers’ duel, and Captain Thomas F itzgerald, who was the ojijiosing slab artist, likewise struck out 14 batters. He was touched up for three hingles; O’Keefe’s hit going for a double. Each pitcher passed two men and hit a player. The only tallv came in the second in- ning, when Ca])tain Cadagan got around the bases on an error and a couple of “bonehead” plays. Lexington was un- able to get a man on third until the clos- ing inning, and then were unable to score. Joseph Leary.

Prices of materials and manship are greatly advanced ; so mm h, timt it was tlionfjht at one time that lh( paper would liave to he discontinned. Last year tlie Military I)e]� artnient was formed, through which co]� ies of the Clarion were sent to all graduates and former members of the school in service. Letters were received by the Military editor thanking the Clarion, and stating how much the ])a]� er was really ap] reciated by the boys. In each issue it is })lanned to have two or j)erhaj s more of these ju-inted, along with the A. IT. S. honor I'oll. MMiis year again there is a Military Department, and mainly because of this we are going to ] nt the Clarion through this year. It is only one of tlie small tilings we at home can do to lielji the boys across amt bring home relations nearer to them. Ixd us all rally together, everyone showing his school spirit, and make this the best year the Clarion has ever had. C. F. S. Here we are at school again. It is the time when everyone makes new resolutions, the first of which usually is to begin the year well. It will be the last year at school for many of us, and therefore, we should do our very best. We often hear ]ieo]ile say, I wish that 1 could have stayed at school longer.” Now it is up to us. In behalf of the sciiool we wish to extend a hearty welcome to onr six new teachms, liss lintchins. Miss Plym])ton, .Miss Piley, .Miss Stewart, , liss AVoodland and Mr. Cowan. In sjiite of the fact that school was closed for a j:eriod of three weeks on account of Ihe Sjianish intiuen .a, we ex]iect to have all onr work made uj) before the end of tlie year. MMie existence of the (Marion this year d(‘]tends greatly on the sn](])ort of the school. M'e have started our ])aper, whereas many of the neighboring schools have not started their paper, because of the high luace of paper. The (Maiion costs only fifty cents a year. TVe have shown onr spirit on every former occasion, and now we ho]K that the same s])irit will again be showm. MMie Athletic . ssociati(ui has done excellent work during the past year. It has brought itself out of a great debt, and now about live-sixlbs of the jtupils have been enrolled this year. .Mr. Hurtt is eager to have some boys for a basketball team, which will repre- sent our school ill a league, wMiich in- cludes many of the very large surround- ing schools. d.

A Rose in Flanders’ Field The other (hiv I was transported into tile land of dreams, where all good flowers go after their Ieath. When I lookecl aronnd, I saw fields full of heantiful flowers, dancing in the sun- light, and swaying in the lireeze. Near- est me was a rose from Flanders, who mnrmnred to me the story of her life. “1 lived in a great meadow in Flan- ders, ]tai-t of it had long since been oc- cupied by graves, bnt it was only yes- terday that two men came towards me hearing the bodr' of a dead soldier. Hardly a foot away they began to dig a grave. They sjioke not during their toil, and silently lowered the body into an opening clo.se b} . Just then I saw his face. It was so peaceful and sweet that I knew he must have ke])t his soul jmi-e even during the din of war. “ Vhen the body was covered the men sat down to rest beside the grave. •• 'Yon know the story, don't yon,’ in- quired one. 'Xo,' answered the other. ‘Won't yon tell it?’ “ ‘I know very little, for he was never a communicative lad, ami told ns notli- ing of his life before he joined the regiment. He had been with ns only a day or two, when one of the fellows got seriously injured while at a listen- ing post. He crawled Pack, and this boy,’ pointing to the mou nd of dirt, 'dres. ed his wound as best he could. The wounded fellow fell back with a groan, just as the gas alarm sounded. He felt in his pocket for his mask, but found it had been torn to ])ieces. When this fellow saw his predicament he gave him his own ma.sk, and before he could get another he had gone West.’ The fellows rose and gathered some flowers to put njani his grave. They ] icked me, though it meant my death,'’ added the rose. 1 considered it an honor.” Just as the rose finished, the first rays of the rising sun awoke me; the di-eain was gone, and in a minute I was carried fi-om a peaceful sinrit laud back to the world of war. Looking out on a peaceful world beautiful in its new s})ring garments, it is hard to be lieve that there is so much suft’eriug in Flanders. l ut the thought of the hero- ism of our little rose spurred me on to attack the ta.sks of the day with re- newed courage. Nellie L.vwson, ’22. Young America at War The war today is lieing fought and have been an industrious, peace-loving won by young America. The occuiai- people. Yet, we see in France today tion of America has not always been thousands of boj'S whose occupation is war, in fact, (piite the opposite, 'e war. The clerk is at the gun, the THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION iniisiciaii an engineer, and the scholar in the air. We see the private rise froni the ranks, and rich and poor alike fight side hy side like brothers. This transforination is really a won- derfnl fact. The reniarkahle ability of young America to turn in time of need to whatever duty calls, is the spirit that wins victories. Young America is fighting a glorious battle, not only across the sea, hut here at home. Kight here in A. If. S. we are called upon to tnrii from our regular course and join hands across the sea with our fighting brothers. The first and foremost duty of every hoy and girl is to his lessons. It is a great vicfory to compier ig- norance or harharism. We have a War Service Committee, known the country through, for its efficient work. Each week a class of girls meet to aid The ](ure symbol of mercy, tlie Ked Ci-oss. hy making surgical dressings. In the field our athletics still hold sway to tit the hoys and girls for indoor work, as well as to give pleasure to the on- looker. Some day, when the war is over, we shall turn hack to the peace and ha]� piness we had before, hut the lesson learned in sacrifice, saving and hearing, will never he lost, nor the les- son that shows the true value of young America. I.UUETT.V I ELI,, ’1!). Sketches THE ANGRY RUMPKIN. How do you think you would feel if some one bought you from a street vender who told you how nice you were, and how useful, and how neces- sary to anyone’s kitchen and then put you on the shelf for thre e years. At such treatment a little set of kitchen utensils did not feel very happy, and finally decided to come down and take revenge. One dark night, in fact it was the witch’s night, when every one was away and the children in bed alone, they began their journey to the kitchen floor. The first thing they spied was a i)umpkin ; as this was so nice and I retty and proud, dominating the kitchen, thej decided to try their ])ow- ei's on him first. The api)le carver jumped at him first and took a round piece out of the left side of his face. The vegetable cutter stuck him right in the middle of the face, and left a three-cornered triangle. The scalloped potato cutter left his marks acioss the side i-ight umler the triangle. In the midst d‘ these e.vploits a noise was heard, and they all scrambled back for their box except the apple carver. He had been the bravest, and had struck the immpkin first, and now he must give him the last blow. He took another round bite out of the side of his face and then ran. Yliv should anyone strike a poor, defenceless j erson with no arms? The pumitkins face lit up with anger ami pain at the injustice done to him. He st(jod aglow in his wrath, as the witches, looking for the children, o] ened the kitchen door. This terrible face shining like gold on the kitchen table, frightened them, so they lied, leav- ing the children undisturbed. When the family came home they found the door wide open, with the witch’s broom, left behind in the rush, and the pumpkin shining in its full glory. Realizing what had liapp)ened. s THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCflOOL CLARION they wakened the childveii to see tlie sliiniug pumpkin. Ever after that, on the witch’s ni ht, Ihe children carried a ])unii� kin face, made like the original, hnt because they could not And an angry pumpkin they used a candle to light up the face. Now we know the witch’s night as Hallowe’en. Olive Siiervixoton. ’20. THE HltlHER SERVICE. Sunset in southern France! The green earth lay bathed in the golden twilight; and somewhere near a night- ingale was .singing. The writer pushed his work aside, and walked to the open window, where he stood looking out on this peaceful scene. Why should he leave this beautiful j eace, and go back to tbe world of strife, where peojde were killing one another in bloody battle- tteld and i-uined town? Notbing mat- tered but his book, and that was his life. A soft knock sounded at the door; he ])ulle l himself together, and with a great many thoughts in his mind, crossed the room and opened the door. There stood Mariette, a little French jteasant maid, wild-eyed, and quivering with excitement. She looked up at him imploringly, and lis])ed in her pretty French, ‘AFsieu, will you jdease come with me? A ])oor English soldier-boy from the western front is dying at onr house. We found him by the roadside. I came to yon because you are Eng- lish, he cannot speak French, so come, M'sieu, come!” The writer looked down at the small figure, to his manuscri])! on a nearby table, and finally followed his little guide. He was leaving his Arcady! On entering .Mariette’s cottage they made their way to the soldier’s be l- side. The room was very still, as the writer sat down lieside the bed. It was quite dark, so Mariette brought a little candle, which she jtlaced on a table, but the soldier turned his head from the light and moaned. He was trying to speak, “Mother, I have as a man should I will fight for my country an l my Cod.’’ With a deep sigh, he fell back. The Avriter rose, and walked un- steadily to the door. “Where are you going, M’sieu?” cried Mariette. “To Hie western front,” he answered. HeLEX.V (lE.UlY, ’20. REYNOLD’S POINT: SEPTEMP.ER. The great green waves are pounding hard. The winds to the northeast shift ; The spray is throAvn to such a height. That it falls in a pale gray mist. The granite rocks are growing cold. As Hie last faint ray of light Has fadeil, and the great white gulls Fly lazily home for the night. The light from the towers on Thach- er’s Woe, In the deepening twilight gleam. And every vessel along the coast Is guided by the warning beam. The twilight deejicns into night. The seabirds shrilly cry. The tower lights gleam on the pound- ing waves.

It was cold and dark, coming home ITom the party, and I was tired, so, wlien 1 heard another group of revelers in front of me, I steppe l into Mason's ham (and incidentally into an ad- venture) intending to wail tliere until they passed. Softly humming ‘‘Joan of Arc in keeping with my French peasant girl’s costume, I started toward the other end of the barn, where I would be less no- ticeable. I had proceeded precisely live .steps when a ])ortion of the wall swung open, and a surly voice snarled, “Hurry up, you’re late!” For a moment I was too stunned to move, but, when the owner of the voice called out rather more menacingly than sarcastically, “Will your highness deign to enter, or shall I make yon?” 1 started immediately. Of course, 1 thought now of German spy plans, and had no doubt that by following this man 1 would reveal to the world some atrocious spy plot, and so cover 1113’- self with glory, thus proving to de- spaii-ing friends and relatives that I was some good, in spite of their con- victions to the contrary. Clearly some guardian angel had suggested to my mind the wearing of the peasant's cos- tume, the humming of “Joan of Arc,” and the walking across the lloor. My guide held a lantern, and led the waj’ down a narrow, dark passage. At last he halted, and, as he uttered a pe- culiar whistle there was a creaking and groaning, and, behold, a door stood open before us. We entered, and it closed behind us. The room was low- ceilinged, an evil-smelling, must,v aj)art- nient. A dozen chairs around a rude table, were the onl.v articles of furni- ture. The chairs were occupied by sul- len, shifty-eyed criminals. “'A rejjort !’’ demanded one sharply. “I was successful.” “Ah, the bomb is jdaced, and the man engaged?” “Yes.” I now observed some of the men whisjtering among themselves, and look- ing at me suspiciousl,v, then -- “Take olf 3'our mask !’’ The room was deadly quiet. I started to run — somewhere. Suddenly’ a black, yawning hole appeared in front of me. “I must escape!” was 1113’ only thought. I jumped down, down, and — l)urr! it was cold on the Moor! I jumped back into bed, and said m3' prayers all over again. PiniTir S'l'ACKroLE, ’22. A SEA SOLDIElt.

Men hurrying hither and thither, shouting orders, some tense with waiting, some caressing theii- trnsty bayonets, some staring wild-eyed into the night wondering; most, howevei-, showing a stoic resig- nation to their fate, and waiting for the reinforcements which were to come in the night to helj them in the early morning attack. “I gness Fritzie has gone to sleep over there,” 'remarked one soldier new to the trenches. “Calm yourself, sonny,'’ replied the veteran, “you'll get all you want before the night is over.” Ah! what is that greenish blue mist creejiing along the ground, threatening and menacing in its slow but sure progress? Gas! On the masks go, ex- cited tingers fumbling, others quick and deft; but, nevertheless, in seven seconds everyone is i)iepared, and all is quiet again. The mist comes rolling along, envelops and blots out everything. There is a thnndering boom. Fritzie shows signs of life. Almost at once the air is full of Hying bombs, shrai)nel whizzing through the air, tlaring lights, deafening noises, thundering bombs, excited cries, and still the heavy gas blurring all the surrounding objects. The gas masks become unbearably warm, and the soldiers long to take them oif, but no dares. As the night wears on, they become used to the bewildering noises and confusing lights. Under cover of the excitement, the reinforcements arrive, and are wel- comed, and then they wait for the long looked for sunrise, when they will pay the Huns back foi‘ all the discomfort THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 11 they caused' them during the night. Without a doubt the Huns will get lull payment and interest besides. M.VROrEUITE Baiui), ’ID. A MODERN KNIGHT.

Tlie first snow of tlie season was falling, trying in vain to cover tlu' dee]i mud in tlie de- serted, gloomy streets. It fell on the roofs of dreary, dark houses, and on the bare branches of mournful-looking trees. Everywhere poverty and deso- lation stood out as the main charac teristic of the wndched district. Not far from the poor relics of a former Ihi-iving civilization, loomed a forbidding building, which contained the cause of the ruin, t tanding by a large window in the fast deepening dusk, was a tigure with head sunk on its chest, one arm thrust inside the coat, the other hanging linijdy by the side. The man's high forehead was deejily lined, and the pale lips ex- juessed utter desiiair. Finally, with a low sob, he Hung himself on a couch, not knowing the fatal results which would follow. The hours passed, but the figure did not move. Midnight came and went, and still not a sound. Then, just as Thanksgiving Day was beginning to dawn in the dark east, clear voices broke the deathlike silence; “Oh, say, can you see, Ry the dawn's early light — ” Suddenly he siirang up — , but it was too late. There was a clatter at the door, the breaking of wood, a short 12 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION stnif gle, aim then the one who wished to (loniinate the world stood still, look- ing' at his khaki-clad captors.

How true it is. Every nation has a soup; that stirs the blood of it's peo])le, and thrills them through and through. “Liberty! Liberty! Deathless and Olorions,” is what the brave Italians sing as they tight in the periE� ns Alps. How different from the Austrians, who sing “God Preserve to Us the Kaiser.” We cannot help but womler if they really think their Kaiser has all the virtues poui'ed forth upon him in that old song. “Ye Sons of Freedom. ake to Glory!'’ Very easy it is to realize that the gallant French soldiers of to lay are the descendants of those men who smig “The Marseillaise over a hun- die l year ago. And we know when we hear “All Hearts Resolved o n Lib- erty or Death” that “They Shall Not Pass.” Do the Germans still think that ‘‘No Foe Shall Tread'’ the banks � d' the Sac- red Rhine'.' We are beginning to see that they will soon want peace, in spite of the Rhine. When England entered the war on the weaker side she only stuck to the words of her anthem, which are “To the Veak Protection Lend.’ We feel sure that hei‘ op])oneuts have discov- ered that “P.rittauia Rules the Waves.'’ About that grand old .song, “The Star Spangled Ranner,' nothing need be said, for we all know that “The Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave, o’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.” Dorothy L.

At the to]� his heart was healing con- siderably. Now the cry sounded again in his ears, urging him on to even greater speed. He dashed recklessly down the hill. Soon he could see the pier. A frantic young womaTi was on it, wildly calling for heli . At last he got to the pier, more dead than alive. Des])erately he jumped to the edge of the landing in one leap. “Quick, (piick!” cried the girl, “Phoebe has fallen into the lake! She is drowning!” He glanced around a moment at the lake. He saw' nothing excej)t a l)lack speck near the landing, but he dove into the icy water. He ro.se. gasping and shivering. He grasped something in his hand, ami ludd it up.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 13 l)ut he said he would give one thousand dollars if he had kept one when he was a boy. Mother said she guessed nobody would (lass to read it, and father said everybody would tumble over himself to read it. Anyhow he would give one thousand dollars if he had kept it. I told him I would keep one regularly if he would give me a quarter of a dol- lar a week, but he said I had to keep it anyhow, and I wouldn’t get no quarter for it, neither, but he wouldn’t ask to read it for a year, and I know he will forget it before that, so I am going to write just what 1 want to in it. Father always forgets everything but my lickins, but he remembers them every time, you bet. So I have got to keep it, but it s(ienis that my diary ought to be worth a (|uarter of a dollar a week, if father’s was worth one thousand dollars. Fverybody said father was a buster, when he was a boy, and went around with Jim Melcher and dharles Tay- lor. My grandmother says I am the best girl she ever saw, if 1 didn’t go with Agnes and Catherine, for it was they who made me tough. There doesn’t seem to be much to put into a diary only quarrels and who failed in their lessons in school, and if it rains or if it is bright, so I will begin to- day. October 24. — Bright and fair today. Was late for breakfast, but mother didn’t say anything, hhither goes to Boston, and works in the Custom House, so I can get up as late as I want to. Father says he works like time, but I went to Boston once, and father didn’t do anything but tell stories about when he was a boy. Once or twice a man came in, and the men began writing as fast as they could. and when he went out I sed why do you all write so fast when he comes, and stop when he goes out, and the men wei'e mad, because the lioss was there when 1 sed it, and then he went out laughing. The men told father not to bring that little fool inside the door again. October 2. ) — Cloudy, but no rain. Went to church ; lots of new girls in Sunday school. October 20 — Rained all day. Agnes and T are mad. October 27 — Father is sick, because he ate too much salt fish, potato and pork. He is awful cross, and hit me a bat today because I left the door open. T guess he will be sorry when I am dead. October 28 — Bright and fair. Went to church in the morning, and in the afternoon when I came home from school I greeced some paper and traced some jdctures. October 21) — It rained hard all day, and we were dismissed from school at recess. Agnes came over, and we made up, aud played iu the barn with our books aud slates. October 30 — Cold and dull out. Did not fail in any lessons today. Father was very cranky when he came home. I made so much noise that he took a switch to hit me, but I crawled under the table, and when he went to hit me the switch broke and Hew back and hit him in Ihe face, so I guess he won’t hit me any more. October 31 — II rained all day. Father gave me ten cents to go to the movies, because I went to the store for him. Novend)er 1 — Bright and fair today also. Made some fudge while mother was out visiting. November 2 — Bright and fair today. 14 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION fotlier went to Hoston, so I had to stay lionie and see that the fire was kejit iioinjr.

All Students From High School Marcli — Those Not Doing So Weie Greeted hy Their “Dutch Uncle.” On November 12, the school was askei to participate in the Victory parade. Nearly everyone went, whether they wanted to or not. Tliose that did not go were kindly greeted hy their “Dutch Uncle” in his jnivate office the following morning. As the band was far distant from the High School marchers, everyone furnished his own music. The repertoire began with the latest war songs, and ended with “How Dry I Am,” the latter being quite appropriate at the finish of the parade. It was at that time that the students realized they had a gr( at poet among them. IThe following was ] ro- duced : — “Strawberry shortcake! Blneberiw pie! Who hit the Kaiser in the eye?” ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF SPJ AKS. On Fire Prevention Day a short talk wms given by a member of the Fire Department.

H h 'H Ebitortals | ('AlfOLIXK F. BHAWHAN, Editor-in-Chief m '•h The Clarion is proud to print in this issue a picture oi th at much beloved man, Theodore Roosevelt. As is cjuite often the case, the world little realizes the greatness of a person until the jierson has passed from this earth. iVIany times before has it been said and we now repeat it — ‘‘No finer man ever lived.” Would there were more of his kind in the world to make it a better place to live. The weather and all seems to he against the ice hockev team this year but the hoys are doing well considering the poor con- ditions for practice Many days the ice at Spy pond is soft and melting hut the boys keep up the practice. Perhaps if Latin or Physics had to be done under the same dif- ficulties the subjects might suffer. But not hockey. Sliow vonr jjatriotic and school spirit. Make the W. S. S. thermometers rise. Through the combined efforts of Miss Littlefield, heatl of the French department, and the school authorities, a class in con- versational French has been organized. All those in the school, who have had one or more years of French are eligible. The class is conducted by M. Haffal- ovich, a native of France, now at Ffarvard College. The class does not meet during school hours, hut from ten minutes past one until ten minutes past two. When the pupils first met they met on Tuesday ami riiursdays oi each week. The session on Thursday was changed to Friday. This class is a great help to all those who attend the meetings. It increases their vocabularies and is a wonrlerful help to those who wish to go into a business which would include calls for the use of the French language. Since there are two days to go to the meeting nearly all those who are eligible should go. iMauy pupils go to both classes, a great advantage be- cause the lessons are not repeated. The people in charge ol the teaching are de- sirous that more pupils attend. Ihe members of the Clarion Board re- gret the loss of their facultv advi-or. Mr.s. Alexander, who left Arlington to join her husband in Toledo, Ohio. For several years Mrs. Alexander has been at the head of the English department, and at all times has helped the Board with large and small matters pertaining to the advance- ment of the school paper. We wish her success in her new life. From all reports we know that Presi- dent Wilson received a hearty and most cheery welcome in Boston. Tw'elve other presidents have officially visited Boston during their terms of office, thus making Wilson’s the thirteenth. But we believe hi the old saying: “There’s luck in odd numbers.” GKIPP There are hisloricj and there are dogs, and in addition, there are countless his- tories of dogs, hut this particular history' is (juite unique, in as much as it is true. II there is any doubt as to its veracity, you are kindly referred to the Metropolitan Police Records of New lork and this par- ticular record of No. .dOIU reads something like this: “No. 3010. a dog, answering to the name of (iripp, black and tan, shaggy hair, notable thief.” whereupon follows an account of his various thefts, his clever- ness of evading the law, and his ca])ture and imprisonment. (iripp, for such was his name when the police ceased to he interested in him, could look hack into the recesses of the past, and see himself a pu| py in a large, old- fashioned, brown, stone house, the object of much affection and admiration ol a spoiled, chuhl)v-faced child. His memory, however, did not carry him hack to the time when a servant of the house had ])icked him out irom his brothers and sis- ters, in a basement home of a disreputable ])art of the city, aud had brought him to the brown, stone house. This is how he be- came the jn'operty of its small master. He was not very old when he began his downward career. One spring morning was the beginning of it all. It seemed as though fate must have been with him this certain sjning morning, and the one who led him to wander off from his youthful master out into the park and get lost. A hollow-eyed, slo enlv Individual captured him after a struggle, and took him to his home. It was quite a change after the comiortahle. brown, stone mansion, hut Gripp was an ada])tahle little dog, and soon became attached to his new’ surround- ings and Iriends, perhaps because of its being about the same environment from which he had come in the lirst ])lace. His remarkable intelligence I for he was a very remarkable dog I increased daily under the careful training of his finder, Pete, and he soon learned to bring to him almost any object he was told to get. The objects were, sad to relate, mostly fans, slippers or handkerchiefs borrowed from department stores or shopper’s coat pock- etc. Now’ Gri| p felt it a great achieve- ment when he returned from the fruit stand, several blocks away, wilh a hag of change gripped tightly in his firm little teeth. So this marked the beginning of Gripp’s pub- lic career in this wicked w'orld of ours, a full-grown dog, with more than an ordin- ary share of intelligence, and of a most unusual help to his master — Pete. Complaints of petty thieveries began to pour into the Station, simu-ltaneously, with Gripp’s debut as a first-class pick- pocket and shoplifter. There was a gen- eral stir all about the Police Department and a certain uneasiness among the officers for not being able to lay hands on the thief. Chief of Police VIcCalie, too, was generally known to he touchy when this matter was brought up to him. “There has never been anything Icefore, since jcolice forces began, which so com- pletely juggled the mind of us all,” so the Chief would say in answer to an inquisitive friend. And this he would say in cut and dried tones, that it might not get beyond THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION the listener’s ears. But it did, and Chief McCabe fairly turned purple with rage when the newspapers came forth with an editorial on the inefficiency of the East side police force. This too clearly brought to light all that McCabe had tried to hide, so now it was only left for him to try and show the public what they could do, and in the face of public indignation he started once more to ferret out the mystery. From the beginner’s point of view all seemed very simple. At a word from his master, Gripp would follow a lady with a prosperous looking purse, watch his chance, and then snatch it away, slipping away in the crowd before anyone realized that he was about. All the underworld knew him and were his friends, and many would have lied and then cheerfully spent a few days in the cooler for his sake. But th is clever hoodwinking of the po- lice could not go on forever, especially under the quick, perceiving eyes of “Pat” Mulligan, of the East side police force. He seemed to know more about this par- ticular section of the city than any of the other men on the force, and so, perhaps, in this way, he became aware of Gripp’s shady existence. Unperceived by Gripp’s small, bright eyes, and unheard by his sensitive, pointed ears, “Pat” followed the dog on one of his pursuits, watched him take and retire, winding himself in and around the crowds, with his stolen goods. Blowing his whistle as he went “Pat” started in pursuit. Immediately, a half- dozen blue coats were on Gripp’s trail and he led them a merry chase up and down alleys and by-ways, until, trembling with exhaustion, he dropped through a strange basement window. At headquarters the police positively asserted that the dog was not to be found in the place where they had seen him dis- appear, and they were right. kind friend to whom he had been taught to go, when in trouble, had hurriedly carried him over numerous roof s and fire escapes to safety. Now that the “trial of men’s souls” had been brought to light, and the chief had a positive clue to the thief, he notified all stations to be on the lookout for a dog, giving his description in full, and offered a reward for his capture, dead or alive. But — Gripp’s experience, and it had been a very scientific one, had taught him to be wary of every man in uniform and the sight of one was a signal for him to put his tail between his legs and run to concealment. They often caught a glimpse of him just slinking around a corner, hut this was as near to him as they could get. It was to he an evil day for Gripp, when, one foggy November morning, he set out for his accustomed occupation. Four plain clothes men approached from opposite directions, and before Gripp knew what was happening, a hag was thrown over his head and he found him- self a prisoner. At headquarters i for the chief must see the cause of all the alarm and worry I there was a good deal of re- joicing and no little consternation as to what would be done with him. He could not he imprisoned as an ordinary thief would have been, so it was thought advis- able to shoot him. News spread quickly, and bad news quickest of all, so before night all of Gripp’s large following of friends knew of his capture. They were not to see their faithful friend disposed of without a struggle, so notifying their influential friends who “daubled in politics,” they kept the wires of Chief McCabe’s office ting-a-linging so incessantly, and wrote him such absurd letters about people be- ing so restless over the shooting of this dog, that poor Chief McCabe was ready to accept any way out of the difficulty. It came in the form of an offer of a “prom- inent citizen” to go bail for the dog. Chief McCabe questioned him no further, things were in such an uproar and all 8 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION over a (log, tliat he consented to his release for a thousand dollars. (hij)p is now on a life parole living oii a large summer farm where he is the j et of the place. He has settled down so that he is a model for all the dogs of the vil- lage, and sometimes we wonder if he has entirely forgotten his wayward career of the past. Still let someone say, “Cops, st-t-t-t!” and he will crouch down with anxious, half-shut eyes and flattened ears. In the few months of his residence here, many stealthy visits have been made to the farm hy tramjis, hut now they have entirely ceased, for Gripj) seems very happy in his new life, and jnobahly these visits make him uneasy as a reminder of when he was not a model dog. Ruth Hari.ing, ’19. THEODORE ROOSEVELT The country mourns a great statesman but more so the man himself. A man that was clean, honest, and fair and that would stop at nothing. Theodore Roosevelt made many enemies, while in politics, but even his enemies respected and honored him. He had no particular hobby, as he was a man who loved the outdoors and strongly believed in athletics, to say noth- ing of his famous hunting expeditions and experiences with the rough riders. As for his part in the present war we all know that his three sons were engaged in it and he himself would have been but for his age. Of the volunteer arnn that he formed, hut was not accepted, for some small reason, we know that there are oulv a few men who would have attempted such a great task. His kindness was shown in many ways and the fact that he had as much respect for the poor jieople as the rich was strongly brought out. In con- cluding, we can say that Roosevelt has left a vacancy in the people’s hearts and in the nation that will not he filled for a long time. W. M. Hall, ’19. TOO THOROUGHLY INSTRUCTED Some years ago a lawyer of quite irregu- lar standing had to defend a man named Brown, charged with larceny, against whom there was very strong evidence. The dav before the trial the lawyer visited his client. “Now,” says he, “your only chance of escape is in a plea of insanity. You must play the lunatic and play it well.” On the day of the trial Brown took his place in the dock, pale and wild looking. “Guilty or not guilty,” began the clerk. “Sj)oons,” drawled the prisoner with ;i blank stare. “Come, plead guilty or not guilty,” warned the clerk impatiently. “Spoons,” murmured the prisoner in a sad voice. “Prisoner,” exclaimed the judge sharp- ly, “will you answer the question put to you or do you w-ant to he punished for contempt. “Spoons,” sighed the prisoner gazing vacantly upward at the ceiling. At this point the counsel for the pris- oner arose. Your “Honor,” he began, “it is clearlv — it is pitably evident that my unfortunate client is not responsible for his actions. He is mentally deranged. To ju'oceed is an outrage on a free citizen of this Commonwealth.” “Do you understand what is said?” the judge demanded of the prisoner. “Spoons,” he breathed vacantly. It was evident that the man was insane and the judge ordered him dismissed. He was taken in charge by his sympathetic and faithful friends who were present by arrangement, and left the court with them, rhe lawyer followed them and, congratu- lating Brown on his escape, suggested that it was a good time for him to pay him his fee. His client stared at him in blank amaze- ment. “Spoons!” he said simply as he moved away, leaving the lawyer outwitted bv his own wit. Anna Gibbons, ’22. THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 9 THE ANGEL OF THE STAR OF GOLD Carelessly I wandered One snowy winter’s day, L p and down the muffled pavement, As an idle person may. Letting thoughts and feet go onward. With neither bonds nor goal ’Till in great surprise and wonder. Five, I heard the Abbey toll! Then with hastened steps I started. Through the streets packed hard with snow; Back to cheerful home aud loved ones And my hearth-fire’s ruddy glow. As I hurried through the shadows. Of the quiet village street, I saw as in a dream A picture, sad and sweet. A small white house stood on my right. That had a lowly mien. And its curtained window sill The saddest sight I e’re have seen. Through the frilly curtains hanging There shot a gleam of gold. That told of sacrifice for love. Of one both true and bold. Of one who gave up home and joy. And all to him most dear. To die upon a foreign soil Without one pang of fear. And through the window mingled, A soft and silvery gleam, Of hair as white as driven snow — 1 feared ’twas hut a dream. And two dark eyes looked out so sad. My heart went forth to meet The heart of that sad mother, There in her lonelv seat. And as I stood there fearing. Lest if I moved the dream Should vanish into vapor. As some miragic gleam. There stepped from the innermost heart. Of the beautiful golden star. An angel with wings of misty white. That shown like jewels from afar — Bearing on her hand a dove And a laurel on her head. In tones like music, she gently spoke. Of the boy who had long been dead. ■‘Oh Mother, though over the surging wave. Your loved one will never come home He has made his sacrifice o’er the seas, Far over the ocean’s foam. And grieve not, 1 pray for him. Though he is dead. For God has sent me here To you in his stead. And I who watch over you. And guide you from afar. Am known as The Angel of the Golden Star.” Silently turned I, and homeward went. Through the frosty and starlit night. And prayed for the little mother at home. Of the hoy who was killed in the fight. Gemose Weaver. MINOT’S LEDGE LIGHTHOUSE Standing on a rocky ledge called Minot’s ledge is a sturdy stone lighthouse, which warns the sailors of a rocky ledge, which was the terror of the sailors for manv years. Only during the last few years was this massive stone structure seen on the ledge. The old lighthouse was of heavy wrought-iron pillars securely fastened to- gether, and surmounted by an iron tower. It was Monday, the fourteenth of April, 1851, that the severest storm known for many years came on. The wind had blown east for several days, hut one night it increased so much that the sturdy fish- ermen could hardly stand against it. There had been some talk about the safety of the lighthouse in a very severe storm, many believing that the iron could not resist the force of the ocean in a furious storm. All Monday night the wind continued to blow, increasing in violence every few minutes. Many panes of glass were brok- en by the force of the wind and rain that night. 10 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION The people of Cohasset and Scituate gathered closer lo their firesides, and many hearts were full of anxiety for the noble lighthouse, whose warning lamp shone faintly through the wind and rain. It continued blowing all that day, and the next, and on W'edne.sday night there was a great hurricane. The rush of the mighty wind, mingled with the incessant roar ot the ocean, put fear into the stout hearts of the seafaring men of that region. Through both these days the lighthouse was watched with fear and dread, for it was now almost certain that it could not stand through the storm. Great sorrow was felt by all, who rea- lized that the two loyal keepers must per- ish when it went down. On Wednesday night many people looked out to the light which was burning brightly at that time, showing that the brave men were still mindful of their duty to the last. Thursday morning with anxiety and eagerness in their hearts, the people looked out over the ocean; nothing was to he seen but huge white-capped waves roll- ing in and breaking with a deep hoarse roar on the beach. The lighthouse was gone! The bell was beard, for the last time on shore, on Thursday morning, ringing in its usual way, — 1-4-3, — 1 — 1-o-v-e — y-o-u. Dokothea Nicole, ’21. INSPIRATION “Come out of it, Murray! ’ The Midget, so called because be was the youngest and smallest midshipman aboard the bJ. S. S. New Mexico, awned as he addressed the lieutenant across the table. The lieutenant raised his head, mark- ing the place on the book before him. “Beg pardon. Midget, say something?” “Not a word,” laughed the Midget. “What are you reading?” The lieutenant looked surprised. “Don't think I’m suddenly taking an interest in literary matter,” hastily added the Midget. “It’s that crazy Persian, isn’t it?” “Hardly crazy,” returned the lieutenant, “but inspiring.” “Pooh,” scorned the Midget, “neither you, nor I, nor anyone else know a single poet — mar not excepted who has ever actually inspired anyone to noble deeds, better life, and all that sort of stuff. How can poetry, mere words, affect your life, or ebange your actions? You’ve never known an instance and neither have I.” “No? ’ The lieutenant’s remark was but half a question. “Ever been in Narra- gansett Bay?” The Midget was startled at the abrupt (juestion, but answered quickly, “Sure.” “Before your time,” tbe lieutenant went on, “there was a place there called ‘Jim- rney’s’. This place was patronized by all the roughnecks in the service. One night the usual crowd was assembled. At one corner sat a man named — say Franklin. Suddenly a fellow called Wop entered and at once made his way over to where Franklin sat.” “Lo,” greeted Franklin. Evidently about something previously tliscussed the Wop said: “Wel l, how about it?” Toil know I need the money.” “Well I don’t see how you’re going to get it. 1 ain’t trying to do you out of it, but I just can’t get it, that’s all.” ou’re sure you can't?” The Wop leered across the table. “Tomorrow’s pay day, and the canteen will do a good busi- ness. “Franklin nodded, wondering what the Wo]) was driving at. “And vou’ve got the last anchor watch,” finished the Wop. A little scar on Franklin’s forehead — a sort of barometer of his mental state — took on a slight bluish tinge. The Wop knew the sign and drew back. “You low down pup!” Franklin spoke barely above a whisper “and to make a thief of me for your fifty dollars, eh?” THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 11 “Now listen, Fran,” llie Wop explained, “I’ve got to have that fifty and I’m not askin’ you to he a thief. Besides there’ll he about two hundred.” “Well?” Franklin plainly controlled himself with difficulty. “I’ll do it,” offered the Wmp. “And me?” Franklin spoke more quiet- ly. The little scar was white again. “The Wop leaned across the table. “All you’ve got to do is see nothing. WTieri you go on watch I’ll do it.” Franklin considered. “What do I get out of it?” “Tell you what.” The Wop spoke gener- ously, “what ever I get you get half, and then you pay me the fifty.” Getting up from the chair, the Wop with a — remember — and a — so long — departed. Franklin was thinking deeply, thinking, thinking of when he left home and how he had promised his mother to return a man. Suddenly a man intoxicated, climbed up in his chair and recited a passage from — Omar — the end of which was “Think then you are today what yesterday you were — tomorrow you shall no be less.” The thin shank of glass snapped be- tween Franklin’s fingers. “Think then you are today what yester- day you were.” He repeated the words softly. The little scar on his forehead showed like a daub of blue paint on a white canvass. He got up and made his way to the door. Just then some one en- tered; it w as the Wop. Franklin’s arm shot out and knocked the Wop to the floor. The little scar had turned an un- earthly color. The Wop cringing, looked up into Franklin’s face — “but about the” — he be- gan mumbling. “You’ll get your money,” finished Franklin, “clean money,” and w'alked away. The Midget was leaning forward, lips parted, listening eagerly. Leaning back the lieutenant ran his finger through his hair drawing it back from his forehead. A little scar showed, white against the tan. Wii.LiAM Smith, ’20. JOE ENGLISH HILL. New' Hampshire, one of the states first settled by the brave English colonists, has a great many hills. Old, worn, smooth veterans of prehistoric ages. Between the city of Manchester and the town of Milford stands “Lonesome Joe” hill. Before the English came here it was just an ordinary hill, but an In- dian, who was very friendly with the English, lived there. This Indian belonged to none of the neighboring tribes. No one knew how long he had been there, no one knew' his name. To the white people lie was known as “Joe.” To the Indians he was “Joe English” because of his intimacy with the English. One day a group of w'arriors from the neighboring Deerfoot tribe, hostile to the English, decided that an Indian who could be so friendly with the English, no longer deserved the privileges that life and lib- erty could afford. The quickest way of taking these possessions from him, was to make him a present of a speedy arrow or tomahawk. So one night they painted their faces and had a war dance, then went on their errand. At the same time as they were starting, Joe was returning from a visit to the colony. Just in front of his cabin be turned around, and saw in the distance about thirty Indian warriors. They were stealthily coming towards him in single file. He knew at once that they were af- ter something; he also knew that there was only one thing they wanted on this hill, and that was he. As he watched them he grinned. Now Joe had no real objection to dying but he would much rather live. It took but a few minutes to form a plan. 12 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION He Wciited until he was sure they were near enough to see him, but too far to shoot an arrow or throw a hatchet. Then he appeared to run in fright up the hill- side. The thirty Indians laughed and quickened their stride. Joe went on, stopping now and then to look hack, then starting desperately for- ward. He was laughing now because he was almost at the top, where, in a thick clump of hushes and trees the hill sud- denly stopped and dropped six hundred feet down. Into these trees ran Joe Eng- lish and hid behind one. The Indians came faster and faster knowing that soon they would reach their victim. Into the hushes they went. The hushes were so thick that each man almost lost sight of the one before him, and the distance be- tween them increased. They came on, and to Joe’s satisfaction the leader reached the edge. He, not knowing of the cliff, stepped once more and dropped. He dropped half the dis- tance before he realized what had hap- ])ened or could shout the Indian word for halt. By this time there were flying In- dians every fifty feet from the top of the cliff and if one hesitated Joe kicked him on. When other Indians heard of this they were afraid of Joe and never dared climb the hill which they called Joe English hill. If you should climb the hill today you could look back to the right and see Am- herst, a little grou]) of white liuildings, tucked away in the hills. Straight ahead in the distance is Milford, another flock of white buildings and to the left is Goffstown. Above would be the bluest of a blue sky, and then if you look down you could see the smooth, steej) wall of rock, past which, the thirty Indian war- riors fell to their unexpected ends. And if you try, you can imagine those thirty, dropping over the edge, bumping down on the few jagged points of rock. No longer are they hating the English but they are living the peaceful life of the Indians’ happy hunting group. Helen M. Bickford, ’21. JTiLHJS CAESAR It vas a dark, stormy night and the wind howled dismal Iv down the chimney. 1 was alone in the house, doing, or try- ing to do, Latin. It was tiresome, I was tired and the two made a very poor mix- ture. 1 had been drowsilv rejieating my Latin and soon my voice was so diminished that it faded away altogether. A flash of lightning zigzagged across the sky and from the tail of it slipped a small man. He was dressed in the old Roman fashion, a laurel wreath crown- ing his bald head. “Ahum!” he coughed, “good evening.” “Good evening,” I replied, “who are you, ])lease?” Well! Well! Don’t you recognize me? I was a great Roman in mv day.” Then I remembered! And — well, at any rate here was the noble Julius Caesar before me! “I .saw,” he went on, “from my lofty height that you were having an extremely hard time with your Latin and here I am to help you.” I was overwhelmed. I immediately sat him down beside me, then proceeded to tell what troubled me. He told me an easier wav to learn it and then we started translating. We were on the thirty-third sentence when wc heard a tremendous crash of thunder and with it came my folks, returning from the movies ! “Pallidamors,” muttered Caesar, T must be going!” So saying he jumped into the fire and was olf. Wdien I fully awoke (with many shakes) it was 10.30! No Latin done! I thought I saw a white robed figure dart up f' s THE NEWS Brief ONE PACE THE bright SPOT IN A BRIGHT PAPER ONE PAGE EXTRA ! EXTRA ! SOCIAL WHIRL GREAT SUCCESS On Ericlav evening, February 7. tlie class oi 19] 9 entertained tlie Juniors in the High School Hall. It was a most pleasing show and did credit to the class. The setting, a theatrical manager’s office, was most cleverly arranged with posters such as; “The Crowded Hour: The Principal’s Office 8-9.” Many applications liy comjianies were made to the manager, H. McCarthy. The opening and (losing chorus, dressed in summer clothes, made a pleasing sight. Senorita R. E. Melha— in common life no other than Ruth Frame — sang splendidly. Jeradi and Brooks, the latter quite bash- ful, proved himself not so in the perform- ance. Mile. Pavlowa Roberts, better known to us as “Rusty” danced exceptionally well and was presented with violets by the class for her help and interest. The Co- quette Sisters, dressed in in quaint gow'iis and bedecked with hearts, threw' kisses to the audience. Scotch songs were sung by William Alexander. The Bloomin’ Tillies with their coon talk made everyone smile, while the Hoola Hoola Brothers had ev- eryone nearly dead from laughter. Their song hit beginning “Now Mr Burtt to Washington Went” brought down the house. Refreshments were served later and music for dancing was furnished by Pal- mer’s Jazz Band. BIG SENSATION IN GYMN JAZZ BAND APPEARS The school was greatlv surprised when Palmer presented himself and his jazz band at recess. The beginning of his pro- grame was excellent.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 25 3 Principal’s Column ¥ wi ja. jtt w. 1 It was in the office of an institution not far from Arlington on a busy morning. In the midst of the hurry and confusion the telephone instrument had been knocked from the desk to -the floor and the cap of the receiver broken. Now it is very dif- ficult to telephone with the cap dropping off into one's ear ever and anon, nor does it conduce to pleasant and continuous con- versation to he compelled to stop fre- quently and fish the aforesaid caji out of the auditory canal. For a time the man- ager tried the scheme of liolding the re- ceiver up with one hand and the cap with the other, hut it was extremely awkard, and the inquiring looks of the office force got on his ner es. His jiatience soon be- came exhausted and, after telephoning under the above-mentioned difficulties to the electrical appliance store, where the in- strument had been purchased, and learn- ing that new caps were carried in stock, he despatched a boy thither to olitain the new fitting. But, like Old Mother Hub- hard at the cupboard, when the hoy got there, the electrician had none — he had been in error in regard to the extent of his stock. Right here is the interesting part of the story. What did the hoy do? He had come to a dehnite place on a definite er- rand with definite instructions — but all to no purpose. There were three ways open to him. He could have gone hack to the manager, explained the mistake of the electrician, and relieved himself of the re- sponsibility. But this would not have re- paired the damaged instrument. The prob- lem would have been still unsolved. Or he could have telephoned to the already harassetl and overburdened manager, de- scribed the situation to him, and asked for further instructions. This is an improve- ment over the first way, hut still it shifts the responsibility to the shoulders of others — that is, it evades the problem. The third way uas for the boy to make an earnest atid honest attemj)t to master the situation himself, and, on his own initiative, to figure out where telej)hone instruments were likely to be kept in stock and make ajiplication there. This is what the boy did. He tried a hardware store first, but had no success; besides, they could give him no informa- tion as to where he might go to complete his errand. Here was a difficult situa- tion. He must come back with the new' caj), and the only places in town likelv to carry them harl none. The boy, how- ever, w'as persistent and unwdlling to ad- mit himself beaten. He pondered over the matter, weighed this situation and that as they occurred to him, and finally hit u]3on the idea of going to the local telephone exchange. To his delight they were able to provitle him with a cap from an old receive r and he came back to the office with the satisfaction of having risen to the emergency and solved his problem. The world is calling loudly for boys like this, and the call is continuous and insist- ent. The men of big business are search- ing our high schools and academies for them, and when they find them, it is only death that can pry them loose from their ])ositions. They are the stuff from which the men of great affairs are made, the bankers, the engineers, the directors of huge enterprises. They are the men who THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION manage the railroads, build bridges of ships to Euro] e, serve their country for a dollar a year, and furnish the brains which heat the Hun. There are far too many in this world who ado])t tlie first way, i. e., come hack Avitii their errand unacconijjlished. They are the slackers in life, giving little and receiving little. They develop into noth- ing but cogs in the machinery and usually very small cogs at that. Yea, verily, they have their reward. The second method is used by many, and this is a great pity, for they are the near-great. They have enough Avit to apply to headquarters for instructions and they jierform their task, but it is tbrougb ihe brain-]iower of others. Our Scholar — Theresa krastin. Our Kitty — Katherine Hunt.

The world gives them a living, but tbe lawyers rarely light over their wills, for as a rule they have nothing to leave. But the boy of the third way is the hero of life. He is the l ov' who fights and lights hard in the struggle, who never gives uj), and to whom the world is gen- erous with rewards. With shining eyes and firmly set jaws he goes into the strife, confident in himself and equal to all oc- casions. He “pushes things around,” as the saying is, and refuses to he pushed by them.

Look at me, Jim I I'll he out thei-e Saturday showing them how I used to make jumps.'’ At lirst, in the excitement of meeting these (dd friends, Scott forgot his own tronhles. There were num from other colleges, too; men against whom Scott had competed in the old days. it was as if life still lay before him, fresh, in- viting. “Hone any jumping lahdy, Jim?” Crawford asked suddenly. “Just for exercise in the gym, not in conij� etition.” Say, what's the matter with going there Saturday and showing some of th(‘se youngsters up?” Lord — I couldn't do live feet nine now,” said Scott with a force l laugh. Scott 'wanted to decline. I nt he couldn't, somehow, and in the end they hore him down, forced him to yield. He decided to keep up the hlntf, and hegan to act as though money meant nothing to him. Saturday morning found him nervous, and regretful again. The haunting fear that he would fail to make good came to worry him. He went out long before the call came for the high jnmjters. The stands were full. There were the girls who give color to a crowd. The first great race was won hy Scott's college. And right on t(t]) of that Ci-awford won the host heave of the day at shot-putting. Ran- dall won second ]dace in the hnv hurdles. Scott shook with nervous- ness as he waited his turn. He sized up the contestants quickly. .Hartin of Yale; Gray of Coniell ; Foster of Dart month — here were the three dangerous men. He hegan to he sorry that he had consented to try.

J ate a piece of mince pie, in ho])es lliat i slionld ease this suffering. The results, however, were not soothing. r had been asleej) for about two honi-s, when T awoke suddenly. Tt seemed to me that someone was calling my name. T gazed inlo the darkness, and, to my hoi-ror, saw a shadowy shape stamling at the foot of my bed. I sat u]i and stared at it. T sn]t] ose the jn-oiier Ihing to do woidd have been to faint or become ])aralyzed with fright. Dnt, somehow, all T could do was look at it. Then it s])oke. “Young woman, T am ('dllcfic E.ra ins ' I y this time T had become accus- tomed to the darkjiess, and could see that my visitoi- was a gidniung skele- ton. iUy teeth were chattering so that I could say nothing. Of ccurse, it was from cold. Horrors! it was talking again. “.Mark me well. You will meet me again soon in another form. T am going to add a few .Tunior( to my list of victims this year. Tlie hoys are not interesting, f(u- f can g(d them only at the last moment.

Ah! these girls!” lie laughed weirdly and i-atth d his hones on the hi-ass bars of the hi l. Vhile he had been talking, alnuit half a dozen other tigures, sheeted like ghosts, lunl a]ij� eared, and were ci-o vded aronml the bed. At just this moment I came very near doing the ju’ojier thing, afore-mentioned, lint T was startled anew by hearing one of the tall figures groan : “I am Latin.” Another shrieked : “f am Geometry.'’ Yhile from the other side of the bed came the deep tones of another ])ro- claiming : “I am German.” And they all glared at me with glowing eyes, wdiile GoUeye Exams leered wickedly and thrust his gi'inning skull forward. Hy some superhuman effort, wdiich 1 cannot understand to this day, 1 managed to remark; ‘AYell, 1 hope you'll know me the next time you see me.” This was evidently unexpected, for the jaw of GoUeye Exams fell and he said nothing. German ejaculated, “Donner und lilitzen,” while Ltifin ex- claimed, ”0 di immoi‘tah‘s ! The one who, 1 imagine, was Ghemistry. disa]i- peared with a hang. The rest of them I'aded slowly from view, with ga])ing mouths. At last T proceeded lo do the jiroper thing, e. g., faint. The next thing 1 heard was: “This clock says five minutes ]iast seven !” The moral of this tale, gentle reader, is just this: Study long, and study hard: Above all, use your head; And never, never, never eat prince ]u'e when going to bed. Lilui.vn Sk.vslev, '20. OUT OF THE FOtJ It was one of those damp, muggy days that so often come towards the latter ])art of August. The thick mists which had blown in over night were just beginning to i-ise from the rocky ledges along the shore. The whole as- ])ect gave one a lreamy feeling of meU 10 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION aiiclioly that was increased hy the dis- mal wail of a fop: siren, soniewliere olf tlie coast. S(‘at('d in the slielter of a larpe rock was a twelve-year-old boy, fishinp ; not because he expected to catch anythinp:, that would have been most nnnsnal, bill just for the love of dreaniinp: and watchiiifx the dark waves as they swirled beneath him. llis ] ole rested idly on the rocks nearby. His larp;e brown eyes were fixed on the thin- iiinp- screen of fop;. He was pazinp with a steady fascination, as if he would ])ierce the mists and see what lay be- yond them. Almost in answer to his look, there ai)peared a small dory, glidinp slowly towards the bi'ach at his right. It held three strangi men, dressed in costumes unknown to this age. The two who rowed wore tall, heavy boots, short trousers, gay colored shirts and tlaring bandannas tietl lazily over their heads. The third was more gaudily attired. The shining buckles on his slippers, the brilliant suit of cerise velvet, and the bright orange ]dunies on his hat made him (piite dazzling to behold. At his side hung a murderous looking sword, which might easily have been termed blood-stained. As the boat neared land, the two oarsmen juni]� ed ont and ])ulled high up on the shore. The man in red was seen to ste]� out and shout something which the listening boy could not quite catch, strain his ears as he might. Then this ]iirate walked quickly to the foot of the ledge, followed by the others, carrying a ]� ick and shovel. Here, under their leailer's shaiq� commands, they began to dig seriously. Hefore long ther(‘ came a loud iiuTal- lic clink, and all three leaned eagerly fonvard. Then they stoo]� ed down. struggling to lift s(tme very heavy ob- ject. I'lven the velvet-(dad gentleman foi-got his dignity in the excitement. tVith an eti'ort they brought to light a long black box, and laid it carefully on the sand. Then the leader, with his gay idumes laddly waving, brandished a jiretentious looking key. He was about to o])(‘u the box, and was tinker- ing with the lock, when suddenly frojii behind him rushed a dozen (� r so men, yelling like demons. These newcomers set upon the others violently, and sought to Avrest the sea- chest from them by force. The scene was a horribh one for the boy, who w, at died it all breathlessly. His wlnde being tingled with excitement, as he looked, not knowing Avhat to fear as the outcome. Now the three men de- fending the chest seemed to be losing. Oh, what a shame! Why Avouldn't something happen to save them? Oh! Th(‘y have doAvned those orange jdumes. Now the others tlee. P nt the box! tVhat now of that fateful box? See! The victors gather round it. Listen ! “Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, yo ho-ho-o! and a bottle of rum.'’ Then suddenly the young fisherman, Avho didn't fish, heard a loud snout from the toji of the ledge: ‘‘Well dom men. That's the best picture Ave'A'e taken yet.” Fu.AXCES TltE.AnAVF.LI., '1!I. FFFK'IENT .AIL.

Jnst as he came to an interesting section, a great noise and shonting' made him rush to the yard. There he found his youngest lio]� efnl neai-ly drowned in the rain barrel, which stood at the foot of the ]� iaz7.a stairs. He hauled him ont. Whil( he was clianging the child's clothes a sml- (len ominous silence by the children made him suspect trouble. Wlnm he got down stairs, he found his fears all too true; his twelve-year-old son was |)i-ej)aring to drink wood alcoliol, to see how it tasted. Seizing the hoi lie, and starting to scold the cliild. In noticed lhat the other children had gone ont (d' the room very (piietly. He tiptoed to his wife’s working room, and found them ])laying barber. His daughter, who sat in the barber's chair, was minus three cnily locks. His jtatience gave way, and leading the children iTito the living loom, he commande(l them to sit still or siitfer the consequences. He went upstairs to get his half-dressed child, a ml wraji- ping a bathrobe around him he went back to the living room to keej) order. He made the chihlren sit ])ert'eclly still until he saw his wife coming, and then — he remembered the bread in the oven. Philip W. Alskn.

A WIATEB MORNlAAl As I drew near the river early one winter morning, I thought how much like a crowd of little children it seemed. It ran along at a reckless pace over the stones as though it had just been re- leased from its early morning duties. The bright sun seemed to clothe it with the freshness that early morning sug- gests. The little bubbles sl'[� iied into each cove of the bank as tbough stojt- piug to greet some friend, and then out immediately, as though fearing to be left bebind. As the river went aronnd a bend, I could hear the greet- ings called back and forth, and the rush to keep u] with the crowd. E. Cnosiiv, ’20.

It has been said by well known writers that the greater ambition a person has the higher that person is apt to climb in life. Some people it may be feared do not aspire to great things bnt always use that well known phrase, “Oh, that’s good enough.’’ It seems im- possible for people with such an attitude to get far and it is deplorable that some people are satisfied with this condition. I'he person who demands the best of himself on every occasion, cannot help but make a success of his life even though his efiforts may appear to be un- noticed by others. “Too low they build who build beneath the stars.” The end has come, as come it must To all things; in these sweet June days The teacher and the seliolai' trust 'Fheir parting greeting to separate ways. d'hey part ; but in the years to be Shall pleasant memories cling to each, . s shells hear inland from the sea The murmur of the rythmic beach.

We know full well that, whatever may have been our efforts, this goal never could have been reached but for the opportunities you have so generously afforded us. In be- half of the class of 1919 I thank you, and extend to you a most cordial wel- come to our graduating exercises. All graduating exercises are bound to be more or less alike ; and yet they are all different. That is, there are always certain circumstances, certain facts, that give each graduation a significance all its own. Such is surely the case in re- gard to the class of 1919. This class is the first to complete an entire four year course in this building, and it is also the largest class in the history of the Arling- ton High School. In looking over our four year history, one finds a most unusual record; 1915 to 1919 is a period in which so much has happened that we could hardly have run a normal course. Indeed it is not too strong a statement to say that we have been under a heavy handicap, and the obsta- cles have not been within our power to avoid. In 1916 the terrible epidemic of infantile paralysis closed our school for two weeks ; in 1918 we lost one week on account of the coal shortage, and all too well we remember the influenza epi- demic of last fall which made it neces- sary for us to close school for four weeks. All this has been absolutely un- avoidable. It simply represents our share in the misfortunes to all the world during these years of war. Not so easy to express but none the less real has been the atmosphere of uncertainty, of mental strain, of nervous tention — yes, often of grief — that has lowered over us. We, like the rest of America, could not go along the even tenor of our way under these conditions. All this has a pessimistic tone. It be- gins to look as though we were trying to excuse a failure. Not at all; it is merely a statement of facts that you may the better see that our graduation does indeed have a significance all its own. Any one can go along successfully on a road that is smooth, unol)structed and straight. But it is quite another task to drive in the dark and fog, on a rocky road, around treacherous curves, not knowing what is ahead. Is it not true that the one hundred and fifteen pupils wdio have completed their high school course under these difficulties of the last four years have accomplished something wdiich should be remembered? Is it not true our class has shown determination ever to sail ahead undaunted by cross- currents, to a harbor which they could attain only by earnest, hard and constant endeavor? The last four graduating classes went out into the w'orld with their future darkened by the clouds of w ar. It might l)e w'ar — it might be college — it might be, — no one knew' w'hat. But it is the great jirivilege of our class to step into a world lighted by the prospects of a per- manent ])eace. We t rust that all the liard lessons these four unusual years have taught us will the better enable the members of the class of 1919 to grasp the many and the vonderful opportun- ities offered by the world today. PlITLTP Ror.TN.SON. VALEDICTORY 'I'HE PUBLIC SERVICE OE THE SCHOOL CHILDREN It is w'ell-known to everyone that the M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army, and other organiza- tions were great factors in winning the 8 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION recent war and did l)rave, heroic acts holli in the ti-enehes and at lionie. Tliey were not the only group of non-coinhat- ants concerned in bringing the war to a successful termination. The school chil- dren all over the country ])layed no small part in the world contfict. Doubtless there is not a town, however small, in the whole United States which has not done something in war work. And the school children of this town of Arlington have done their share. Although everyone present tonight probably kirows that the school children of our town have done a splendid work, nevertheless, now that the war is over, it is not only interesting, but also not a little self-satisfying to go over the facts about their war activities. In reviewing these facts, 1 shall begin with the children of the elementary schools. Not a child in these schools considered himself too small to be of some service to his country. Although the work of the younger children may iKJt be tremendously important, it must ha e been an interesting sight to the visi- tor during wartime to see youngsters of seven or eight industriously picking oakum as though their lives depended upon it. On the other hand, it must have been amusing to see little girls w'alking along the streets unconcernedly knitting with needles almost as large as them- selves. The result of this knitting, how'- ever, w'as something to be proud of, since in most cases the squares made by the children were better than those of the grown people. The adults in knitting s(|uares were so intent uj)on using up odd bits of yarn that they gave scarcely a thought as to whether or not the colors harmonized. The children, however, were so absorbed in the beauty that some even had the courage to knit American flags into their squares. Not only the girls, but also the boys took part in knit- ting, altbough they, perhaps, were not so cons])icuous with their knitting bags. Interesting or amusing as such sights might have been there was a much deeper significance. Those boys and girls were working for Uncle Sam. The most important part of the war work in the grammar schools consisted of buying Liberty Bonds and War Sav- ings Stamps. In all tbe elementary schools the amount of money invested this way surpassed that of the Junior and Senior High Schools together. The total amount of money invested by the gram- mar schools in Liberty Bonds alone is almost $53,000. The next schools to consider are the Junior and Senior High Schools. Al- though the war work which the pupils of these two schools did is amazing in variety and amount, yet it would be tire- some to hear it all. The work of the girls consisted of sewing, knitting, and cro- cheting, while that of the boys was done in the manual training department and on the farms. In addition to this, the amount of money invested in Liberty Bonds is quite astonishing, for besides buying bonds for the improvement of the schools, the pupils of the Junior High School bought nearly $18,000 worth and those of the Senior High School almost $26,000. Indeed, what the American school children have done to help win the war is marvelous, and the school children of Arlington have done a kind and an amount of war work of which her citi- zens are justly proud. Now the war is over, that is, the actual fighting, but the tasks which the war has produced are far from done; in fact, they are just beginning. Glance over the front page of the morning paper, — l omhs, strikes, and riots. Does democracy look perfectly safe? Many foreigners who have come THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION to our laud can neither read nor write English. What kind of American citi- zens are these? What the young people with their war work have helped to do has been accom- plished; now what is to be done they must help to accomplish. This work that has been done is public service. It has been instigated by the call of war. Now that the excitement and the thrill are over the work of the young people is still public service, but of a greater, far wider scope. They must now defend the democracy against assaults from within, d'hey are to make democracy safe and sound. Today we hear a great deal about Americanization. Some one has said. . mericanization is the process of social improvement for everyone. “And this is the big and the splendid task that every boy and girl must help to perform. Social reform for everyone — native horn, foreign born — is the aim. Therefore, every boy and every girl should begin at once to know- and to understand what this town, this state, this nation are doing for the upholding of American principles. 'Fhey should begin at once to make them- selves a real part of the machinerv of American government, to make them- ;) selves think about the needs of America, to argue about the needs of America and to give hands and hearts to serve the needs of America. Yes, it is a big task but if we judge what the young people may do in the future by what they have accomplished in the past, these tasks will not be too great for them, and they will answer the call. What a wonderful progress the world has made during the war. Think of the advances made in medicine, science, and engineering. WYnders never dreamed of liefore the war are now accepted as mere matters of course. dien we think of these things, we can not but realize the splendid future that we. the class of 1919, have before us. We have an opportunity in the most won- derful of all times to do the most won- derful of all works and we can fight, not with guns, but with brains, to give to our United States of America a future even greater than has been her grand past. As we go from Arlington High School, let our deeds rather than our words tell to our parents and friends, to our teach- ers and school mates, that in our .School years we have learned the greatest of all lessons — ])ublic service.

As there is no doul)t hnt that everyone here has spent at least a half a period, if not more, in INIrs. Baker’s room learning what history is, and a proper and fitting definition for it, I will not take the time to elucidate at length upon the meaning of my text. Having spent four years of my young life in the study of this class, I feel, with no apologies to Edmund Burke, that it is an awful subject. Like our forefathers we came to a new and strange place. We encountered a tribe of fierce warriors, with Mr. Clerck as their big chief. His battle cry was “individual responsibility.” We soon became at peace with this tribe and be- gan to work. Like all thriving and successful peo- ple we had an election and voted for class officers, ( which it may be well to add, was all we did have that year). W’alter Coolidge was the first president. Harriett Johnson, now a Broadway fav- orite, vice-president; Harry Johnson, treasurer, and Marietta Bell, secretary. The girls voted for Buzz on account of his marvelous pompadour and his fetch- ing blush. iMiss Swasey says if she’d been here she would have done the same thing. Captain Cross was a])pointed our guid- ing s])irit. Through his efforts the ex- cellent idea, which is often expounded from this platform, of having freshman teams in all athletics was adoi)ted, and a hockey team of no slight reputation ap- peared on the glazed surface of Spy Pond. ,- s I look into the upper elevation of this hall and see those innocent young things up there, it is like looking into a mirror of the past, to the day when we filed into those same squeaking seals, and said, I’d much rather sit up here than down stairs : I don’t see why the ■Seniors weren’t given these seats.” In the spring of that year ve were invited to help beautify the magnificent expanse of verdant turf, by donating a small and humble bush. This we did, and with great ceremony the above mentioned ar- ticle was duly planted. (Note. This is the only survivor of the four planted.) Thus concludes the activities of our freshman year. Our sophomore year, B. Holmes Wallace became the head of this noble institution. As was customary, class officers were again chosen. After three ballots, Philip FN'ibinson was made jmesident ; iMarguerite Baird, vice-presi- dent : Caroline Shawhan, secretary, and Harry Johnson, treasurer. The height of our ambition was to have a social. But alas, the powers that be overruled our simple desire. Nothing eventful occurred until April. War was declared. Captain Cross was the first to leave. We sent him off with our best wishes and a safety razor. He has had both ever since. In the fall of that year the war was felt in many ways. Several boys from our class had enlisted. Red Cross class- es were started. The famous war serv- ice committee came into existence. The lunch room became lunchless. The Ra- dio school began to effect the les.sons of certain young ladies, and the army u])set the rest. But despite the war we had a banner vear (banner in more ways than one). W'e were at last recognized as upper classmen. Again we had a new ])rinci- pal, this time from Lowell. No longer THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 15 were we boys and girls, liut Young Am- ericans. When lessons were neglected we were slackers. If there was anything to be done it was squarely up to Young America. The results of the class election were as follows : Phil, president ; Ruth Darl- ing, vice-president ; Pearl Aliddleton, secretary; Harold McCarthy, treasurer. iMiss Eaton took the Captain’s place as our advisor. The first of the year, the girls in par- ticular, were busy prej aring a Christmas box for Captain Cross to distribute among his men. A great many donations were received. The largest and most auspicious contribution was an afgahn, resembling Joseph's coat of many colors. This was for the Captain himself. We received many letters of thanks for our work and were more than repaid. After Christmas the customary social took place. At the close of the play the absence of the Senior banner created a serious mystery. When the time for our social arrived the air was filled with ])lots so terrible they would scare the Bolsheviki. Miss Eaton began to worry, and iMr. Burtt began to doubt whether it was safe to hold the event at all. All plots of retaliation were discovered liy keen detectives of the Junior class. After the affair was over Mr. Burtt congratu- lated the Seniors on their excellent be- havior, which pleased them beyond words. It will be well to add that they were told they would have forfeited their diplomas if they didn’t behave, so _ 'ou see they exercised great self-control. I would take the time to go into the pro- gram at length, but fearing lest I use your time for anything uneducational or undignified, I will omit the mere details. At last the Senior year, year of years, opened. Class officers were Phil, presi- dent; Ethel Roberts, vice-president; Ruth Darling, secretary; Roger Burtt, treasurer. Our class advisor, without even asking us if we minded, had begun to lead a double life in the summer and was now Airs. Alexander. The fall of the year was unsettled for many boys under the draft age. Phil decided that the marine uniform suited his style of beauty, so he enlisted. We gave him a farewell party, our best wishes, and a safety razor. A party was held in the gym and a good time was had by all. ( The next article is put in here by re- quest. ) A little previous to the party, a few of our celebrities attempted to make a little history on their own hook. Feel- ing in a frame of mind for a joy ride, they borrowed, without permission, the car of a well known lawyer of Arlington Heights. After these young hopefuls had rid the street corners of their “Turn to the right” signs, they proceeded to this beloved edifice and in a gentlemanly manner entered, and placed the signs at the ends of the corridors. For further l)articulars, see Chief Urquart or Whit. Hall. 'file next event was the social to the Juniors. As we were so busy industri- ously studying, not a great deal of time was spent, but the show was excellent. That goes without saying. The Juniors returned the compliment by presenting a minstrel show. Although it could not compare with ours, for amateurs, they did quite well. Just about this time Mrs. Alexander decided to leave us and go to hubby, 'e were all sorry to have her go, but pos- session is nine points of the law, so Air. Alexander won out. As a parting gift, we gave her — no not a safety razor — but a half dozen silver spoons, and as usual, our best wishes. Aliss Alagner took up the responsibility of class advis- or, and we are fortunate to have her. It was with fear and trembling we IG THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION awaited tlie successor to Mrs. Alexander. I'd-iends, you all know who came. Since 1 do not api)rove of ornamenting the lily, or painting the rose, 1 will not at- lempt with my meanal vocabulary to say more alxjut Miss Swasey. During the winter we have had a course of interesting lectures, which we cvill do well to mention. These dis- courses, or period consumers, were all delivered from the rostrum of this struc- ture by the Honorable Carl I). Burtt, Ifsq., better known as Father Burtt.” Among the subjects were: Are you worth dying for?” The folly of Char- lotte russe and chocolate blanc mange.” “The submerged 10% ” and The sin of simple Seniors smoking cigarettes.” The remainder of this year has been spent in study, deep, concentrated study. In fact, few of us know what it is to have had any pleasure, except that di- vine joy of plodding through the con- tents of our books. To our teachers we give thanks for the noble, persisting efforts which they have shown. To ourselves we give thanks that we have had the good nature, the courage, and the brains to survive. M. riett. Bell. CLASS WILL We, the class of 1919, of Arlington High School, in the Town of Arlington, in the County of Middlesex, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the United States of North America, M est- ern Hemisphere, World, realizing that we are soon to take our departure, from this sphere of existence, being in a sane and dependable state of consciousness, do hereby make this our last wdll and testament: 1 ) To the Class of 1920, — the Jun- iors, we betpieath the right to squirm in the center seats of the Assembly Hall under the scorching and terrifying blaze of Mr. Burtt's fiery words. Also the right to profit by our example of mar- velous intellect, noble dignity, and su- perb behavior. 2 ) To the So])homores: We leave the right to drop the name by wdiich they are now known, Fools full of Wisdom,” and to become upperclassmen, subject to the will and fancy of those Masters of Knowledge — the Seniors. 3) Upon the Freshmen do we be- stow the privilege of using drinking cu])s instead of nursing bottles, and napkins instead of bibs. M e also leave that pow- er found in the case of but one other animal, the chameleon, to change your color from green to any which you choose. 4 ) To the School Committee we in- trust the duty of censoring all future class socials, lest they .seem uneducation- al or undignified. 5 ) To the pupils still remaining in the Arlington Schools we leave Mr. Minard, our Su])erintendent, as a “sll- cut reminder of all that is right and just. 6) To i Ir. Burtt — Ah — Here we must ])ause. What is there in the entire scope of the horizon worthy of such a man ? Where is there to be found a gift suitable with which to honor him? There comes to my mind an idea. MT will leave him a derrick with which to raise the “submerged ten ])ercent.” 7) To our ])resident, Philip Robin- .son, we leave the future, to which he goes with our respect and admiration. 8) We beejueath to Robert Smith, the Junior President, the fluty of care- fullv and efficiently leading the class which now is to carry on the standards that we have rai.sed. 9) To “Buzz” Coolidge belongs the laurel. lie has served us faithfully and we, the Senior Class, have missed him THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 17 from our midst. We also present him with a box of rouge in case his Idush fails him. 10) To “Dot” Aleserve we bequeath a ten course dinner for every day of the next school year, so that she will never more he “famished.” 11) To William Smith we leave a ])air of stilts that his bodily height may ecpial his intelligence. 12) Ui:)on A'ianno we do hereby be- stow an electric motor to help him “wind iq)” for next year’s league games. 13) To Marie Harold we leave her already well-started habit of getting “I he” Long’s “goat.” 14) To Lorraine we leave Rusty’s place as the bronze-haired sirene of the Senior Class. 15) For Hargrove and Cummins we have set aside six free periods daily, thus giving them more time to wander about the building. 16) To Barbara Hamilton we donate one black crayon with which to save her reputation any time she should forget and stop studying early enough to eradi- cate the black circles under her eyes. 17 ) To Tibbals we leave one dozen bottles of black hair dye, so that he need no longer be in danger of setting fire to the school. 18) To Alice Brine and Lillian Seasley we befjueath one Maxim Sil- encer, because they are so noisy. 19) For “IMiggy” Darling and Al- vah Ring, “Connie” Dodge and John Crosby, “Kitty” Hunt and James Berry, ami “Dee” Osborne and Charlie Oden- weller we have reserved the liack row at the movies. 20) To Leon Ogilvie we leave a steel helmet so that he will not wear out his cap with the weight of the coins depos- ited therein, at games. 21) To “Punch” Wadman and Mar- tha Powell we hereby becpieath one set of checkers so that it will not be neces- sary to use pennies when they wish to indulge in a little game. 22 ) We leave a wheel-chair to “Tacks” Crosby and designate Fred Lowe to push it, in case that by fall, “Tacks” has ceased to move altogether. 23 ) For “Brad,” the most brilliant fellow in school, we have set aside a self- Harter, guaranteed to start a Ford, so that he will not use all his energy crank- ing his car. Then perhaps when he reaches school he will have enough vi- tality left to recite in second year “Deutsch.” 24) To “Hutchie” we leave our sin- cerest symj)athy in his recent loss, but never mind, “Hutchie,” you have lots of time yet. You’re only a Freshman. 25 ) To the Girls’ Field Hockey 4'eam we leave all encouragement and hopes for success under the leadership of the illustrious “ukalaleist,” “Ala Wing.” 26) For Everett Guild and Hazel Fischer we do install an automatic mail tube to make their blocking the traffic, while they exchange notes, an unneces- sary evil. 27) To Alt. Holyoke — excuse us, we mean “Smith,” we leave Helen Preston. May she love, cherish, and obey. 28) To Jimmie Smith and Keefe, the Freshmen imps, we bequeath the title of “Idle Katzenjammer Kids.” 29) To the students of the school we leave a stimulant to revive them from the shock, should Marion Harding cease to giggle. 30) To the teachers we leave these words of comfort, that although we re- alize there can never be another Senior class to equal 1919, we feel assured that the following classes will make a strenu- ous effort to live up, at least in part, to our notorious record. We also leave our thanks for their kind and patient IS THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION lielp which has enabled us to be ready to graduate to-night. Ciiven and signed by the class of 1919 of the Arlington High School, on Wed- nesday. the twenty-hfth day of June, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Nineteen, in the Ijresence of the following witnesses: (’aiil L). Burtt, Princdpal, Mary G. Magner, Class Advisor, Philip Robinson, President, 1919. Helen Cook. R’V ORATION Ladies and Gentlemen: I have been elected from among the select orators of the illustrious class of 1919 to deliver to you the Ivy Oration, the best ever orated within this common- wealth of ours. I am no inexperienced public speaker as you well know, for you surely must remember the last time that I stood before you on these historic boards and explained the ideals of a per- fect peace, ( I surely thought it was the last time ; I never expected to get another chance.) I do not need to ask your apology for any signs of nervousness, shaking knees nor trembling tones. I have none. I feel ])erfectly calm and composed. And as I stand before you I have not the slightest tinge of emharass- ment or confusion — as did Ed. Battey when Miss Pennell caught him helping himself to the fudge bars. . nd now to tbe purpose of my oration. ( )ur class has just deposited on the north- east corner of this edifice a diminutive ivy plant. But its diminutive character- istics, Ladies and Gentlemen, are nothing against it. (Are they Chester ? ) 1 his plant at present measures four inches in latitude and three and three-quarters in- ches in longitude, boasts seven leaves, a stem, ami a root. In planting this shrub we are sure that it will decorate and Iieautify the exterior of the building as our ])resence has always beautified the interior. e also feel that we are leaving something particularly symbolic of our class. T he ivy as you all know is evergreen; summer and winter always green. I tried to find someone in our class whom it resembled in this respect, but could not. After much trouble and work, I ha e borrowed from the juniors Cassemer Rodoslowitch. There is no one greener. The ivy has thick leaves which grow thicker and thicker as the years go by. We only hope that Shirley will not grow any worse. It is also of the clinging variety, ever needing a steady support as it twines tenderly and gracefully around. Don't look so embarrassed, Alarion Lyons. 1 was not talking about you. It is a modest, demure little plant, ever finding pleasure in solitude and (jniet, like Rusty Roberts. To be sure it is slow of growth, with high ambitions and hopes for attainment. So is Grace Jeradi. But its ambitions for growth can easily be crushed by harsh feet. You know how it feels when yon go to the office. This no doubt accounts for Roger Burtt’s lack of ambition and general indiffer- ence. But when carefully nourished and ten- derly cared for it will thrive and prosper. 'hitman Hall is a living testimonial of this. Indeed everything we do prospers: — Look at the forest which has grown from the fir tree which we planted only two years ago on the Schouler Court en- trance ! Look at the growth of Ash- worth ! Look at the taste of Tom Geary and Ali l eirce in neckties ! Look at our athletic record ! We had a basket-liall team composed entirely of seniors and played fourteen straight games : — W'c THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 19 proved to Mr. Kurtt that if a thing was put squarely up to young America, it would never fail. We won all hut four- teen of those games. . nd so our shrub typifying the class of 1919 in so many details, will he a constant reminder to you all of the best class ever graduated from Arlington lligh .School, and we hope will not with- er and die as did last year's ivy. There are, I believe, one or two other speakers to follow me. However dull and Hat they may he, I beg you to remain and look interested, d'his last esi)ecially to John Chickering. And before you disintegrate 1 wish to thank you for the true Arlington indifference with which you have borne my remarks. .Seniors may go : — Harold J. McCarthy. Crl.EE CEUR NOTES The Operetta, “Japanese Girl, given by the G-irls’ Glee Club in the Town Hall, h'riday, March 7th, was a great success. About three hundred and fifty dollars were taken in, one hundred and fifty of which covered expenses. f)f the two hundred cleared, the Clnh has planned to give one hundred to Miss Pierce with which she will start a mu- sic fund for .school purjioses. The rest will go into the Club I'reasury. All told, the Club has had the most successful year, hnancially and socially of any since it was founded and it is hoped that in coming years it will be as successful. The Club is now working on music to be sung at graduation. Presidlnt. Hey piem youl BE Jusr A5 t As Me Bcif MY Feer [Bic-oer yaugi.l Crate k er A SONG THAT HE KNEA’ First Prise In the clearing around the hoarding house of the Baxter-Wayne Hogging Company’s camp on Crooked Creek, which is deep in the heart of Tennessee’s hills; blue-shirted and booted, broad- hatted and corduroyed timber-jacks were at their usual Sunday afternoon play. Not far away seated on a rude hench sat Ward Hanson watching with beam- ing face the childish actions of the rough men. Stretching, he slowly got up and with a yawn started for the boarding house. He was not permitted to cross the clearing unmolested — “Rush” Gudridge, bully and champion fighter of every log- ging camp for miles around, caught him hy an arm and bantered him for a box- ing bout. “Go off,” growled Hanson. “You know' I don’t box with you. Rush.” h'or Gudridge was too big and too heavy, and Gudridge was the invincible, the unconquerable. He w'as a Goliath, and in his prime — he could throw a horse or a hull — with his bare hands he could tw'ist the bark from a sapling, or tie iron hkIs in knots. Hanson himself was a well-nigh perfect physical man. and any- thing but a cow'ard, but — well (judridge had proved over and over that he was the invincible, the uncomiuerable. “I won’t hit you hard,” grinned the champion. There had never been any manner of friendship between these two men, and Hanson jerked his arm roughly out of Gudridge’s .strong grip. “You’d better not hit me at all, he warned. “Mama’s boy!” sneered Gudridge. The other said nothing and went on across the clearing towards the boarding house. Once in the big upstairs room of the boarding-house. Hanson took up his old time friend a fiddle and began to play as he rarely played. Soon every man of the other timber-jacks was standing or sitting here and there behind the moun- taineer. And nobody noticed a pale and slender and boyish-looking young man in chea]). rather loud attire, that marked him as one from a different land, w'ho stood in the doorway listening with all his soul. He had walked from Jacksonville in the lowland that day, and now' he was shift- ing his w'eight from one tired, aching foot to the other. At the last, Hanson played an old sad song. Mien he threw down the fiddle and faced about, the stranger went toward him smiling as though he had known him always. “That last tune,” said the stranger — and he seemed somehow out of breath— “that’s a little song that I know. If I could sing like I used to sing. I’d sing it for you. Sing and fight, sing and fight, that was me in the good days. My name is Kid Minton, gentlemen. Maybe you’ve read of me in the s porting ])ages, eh ?’‘ THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 21 He looked at Hanson with sober eyes and walked across the room and sank wearily on one of the beds, and made as if to lie down. It chanced to be Rush Gudridge’s bed that he had chosen, and Gudridge, after the fashion of men of his type, flew in- stantly angry. “Here, you!” he snapped. “Out o’ there !” He seized Kid Minton by the back of his coat and flung him brutally to the floor, face downward and Minton lay there still. A moan of disapproval ran through the crowd of timber-jacks. Ward Hanson stepped toward the bnlly his eyes were flashing like powderflre. Kid Minton raised himself to an elbow and looked hard toward Gudridge, and the loggers saw the bright red of blood at the corners of Kid Minton’s mouth. “You’re a lowdown yellow dog, Gud- ridge;” cried W'ard Hanson. “Couldn’t ou see the boy was sick. I know you’re going to lick me, Gudridge, and cuss vour soul, you’ve got to do it !” He hurled himself on that mountain of flesh and bone. Hanson, of the fidd- ling Hansons, dreamer and musician rather than fighter, was fighting without the faintest hope of winning. ( )f course it was short. Hanson was ((uickly defeated. When he came to himself, a ring of silent angry loggers stood around him, and Kid Minton was kneeling beside him thanking Hanson from the depths of his heart. Ward got to his feet dazedly and sat on the bed. Minton took a chair close by. “I’ve got a plan,” said the Kid hastily. “Hy that ])lan you’re going to whip the beef. How? Don’t forget Ho, I wasn’t champ lightweight down South for noth- ing. 1 know every trick of the ring and I’ll leach ’em to you. See! I’ll train you. Brains can lick meat any day. For his strength is all below his eyes.” W hen it was all arranged Minton took up the brown fiddle and passed it to its owner. “Play for me,” he begged, “that little song that I know.” July and August passed quickly. Han- son had trained hard and faithfully, and had mastered the tricks of the game. In spite of the bracing, pure, air the e.x-fighter’s health had not improved. “I’ve got to see that battle before I go.” he told W’ard, “I sure won’t have a chance to see it afterward.” It was Sunday afternoon. The tim- ber-jacks were lounging here and there, smoking and yawning. Hanson rose near the doorway of the boarding house, and his eyes met those of his trainer not far away with the light of understanding. Hanson walked straight over to Rush Gudridge, “Gud,” let’s have a fight.” All the other loggers heard it. It was the unbelievable. “I’ll wager everything I’ve got exce])t mv fiddle, that I’ll thrash you as you were never thrashed.” Gudridge looked pleased. I'ighting was his chief pleasure. “Pll go you one Ijetter,” he dared. “The one bested in this sera]) takes a gun and kills himself.’’ Hanson hesitated then seeing Gud- ridge smile, — “In the presence of all these witnesses I agree to that.” 'I'he loggers were spellbound. Minton now took charge of his man. 'I'he log- gers chose a level spot and a ring of an.xious faces were (luickly formed around it. Hanson put up his guard and crouch- ed. Gudridge towered erect and smiled 22 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION confidently. As was his way in these contests that were without rules, rests or gloves, Rush Gudridge sprang into action with the suddenness of a thunder - clap. Hanson, sure of himself, merely played safe now, and his antagonist won- dered why he couldn't land one of his mighty blows. A few minutes of this and Hanson planted a right neatly on the champion’s mouth. Gudridge roared in a blind rage, struck wildly and missed, struck wildly again and missed, strove for a clinch and found his great arms empty. The ever-watchful Minton cried : “Oh, you big, brainless beef. Some class to him, ain’t there? He’ll save you the trouble o’ committing suicide.” This seemed only to bring Gudridge to his senses. He stepped back, breathing rapidly but easily. Hanson pressed him, and the ring of gaping timber-jacks gave away to accommodate the two. Gud- ridge then feinted with one hand and drove the other hard to Hanson’s chest. Hanson reeled to the edge of the ring before he caught his footing, and Minton groaned. The bully sprang forward with a blow that might have broken bones, if it had but landed. Hanson dodged it nicely and at the same time struck Gudridge heavily on he point of the jaw. With this the fight became such a whirlwind affair that no two of the onlookers saw it alike. Hanson found himself more and more outmatched in strength, and he noted, as the battle went on, that the other was even taking up some of his tricks. Minton’s spirits began to go down. For him to see Ward Hanson lose would be more bitter than to die. “Spar,’ cried Kid Minton to his man. “Spar !” Hanson heard, understood, and ol)eved. It was a fair rest for him. He found his strength and his breathing good once more. Then he went at it in earnest again, and his blows began to tell. Gudridge’s face was bruised and l)leeding, he fought the fight of a mad man now. Han.son, his own face smeared with blood that was ghastly, began to hope more and more as he drove his l)lows to home. Ten minutes of this, and Gudridge was plainly grog- gy. He tried in vain to defend himself. Then, with an oath that gurgled its way through his blood, he sank to the ground from a heavy punch just under the bot- tom of his breast bone — whipjjed ! As the loggers cheered, Hanson him- self sank to the ground. He felt weak, dizzy and helpless, now that it was over. Rush Gudridge, in the greatest dis- grace that may befall a timber-jack, started ofif. “Hold on there, you,” called Kid Min- ton. “You ain’t shot yourself yet, Gud, you know. Come back and pay your bet — ri! lend you a gun !” Rush (judridge did not pause, did not even turn his head. M'ard Hanson whis- pered ; “Let ’im go, buddy. As it is, it’s a glorious riddance.” A week went by quickly, and in the morning Hanson, playing his fiddle, was interrupted by one of the loggers. “You’d better light away from here. Ward,” he panted. “They found Rush Gudridge lying dead in the laurels!” “He must have shot himself,” ex- claimed Hanson, surprisedly. “No,” quickly said the timber-jack. “He was shot from behind, they say, and he couldn’t ha’ done it himself.” Hanson went white, as the truth sank into his brain. He wrung the hands of both IMinton and the logger. — So they were coming after him. — He took his fiddle and was gone. After two years of wandering from THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 23 one ])lace to another, he decided to risk Ijeing caught. He.sides his beloved fiddle, he carried a heavy revolver, and he was ready to use it. He came to the clearing which separated him from the boarding house and came near to falling over a slab of stone that was set ui)right in the ground, lie sank to his knees in the leaves, he had not ex] ected to see the Kid alive. “Kid. i Iy little buddy,” Hanson said to himself, with a tightening of the throat. Tears that were bitter streamed down his lean, sunburned cheeks. Then he rememl)ered — it was the only burial service Minton had wanted. Then he rose, and placing his fiddle under his chin, he played there in the night that song that Minton knew. 'I'here were rapid footste])s in the leaves behind, and he turned to see a slim figure of a man in boots and cordu- roys hastening toward him. “Hansy,” cried the slim figure, with the joy of ages in his boyish voice. “Hansy. What in Sam Hill are you playing my pet song over the grave of that (judridge for? See. I’m a timl)er- jack now.” “Kid!” gasped Ward Hanson of the fiddling Hansons. “Kid Minton my bud- dy— and alive !” The real murderer had been found and punished. Not only was the Kid alive, he was almost well of his malady. He groped, because of the dimness of his eyes and the darkness, for the hand of his friend — and he found it. WTlliam Smith, ’20. 'I'HR CHAMPIONSHIP OF McCANNON’S HNE Second Prise Down in the Alabama mining town of River Junction, where all is toil from morn 'till night, there lived in two huts. such as were rented to the drillers, drill heljiers and “muckers,” as the stealthy men with the jiick and shovel are called there, two men, both muckers and work- ing for the same concern ; between whom an extreme rivalry sprang up which be- came formidable. 1 wdll first mention Harry Pick, known to all as “Shorty,” as he came to work at McCannon’s mine before his rival. As the nickname implies. Shorty was a little man, probably not more than five feet three in height. His shoulders, though, rolled in muscle; his bowed legs gave evidence of tremendous power. His jaw was s([uare, his eyes dangerously level. He was a big little man, you’ve seen his kind : small of stature yet im- pressing you with limitless physical pow- er. By contrast, the other man, Jim .Merrill by name, younger than Shorty by some ten years, was a huge figure, deej) of chest, broad of shoulder, shaggy of head, and keen of eye. I le walked with a great broad stride, swinging his muscular arms, aud swaying his body from the hips. “That man will muck excess. ’’ said the secretary, after Jim was engaged. “He's a jiowerful brute.” “The record on shoveling here is three dollars and eighty cents,” remarked McCannon, the boss. “This fellow looks as if he could equal it.” The shovelers — muckers, work on a guarantee of two dollars a day in Ala- bama ore-mines. For excess tonnage they receive excess pay by weight of each day’s output. This was to encourage the men in competition and every day each man coming up from the mine was checked off at the tag house and the amount earned recorded. The little tag printed in red ink told the story. Now at the time big Jim [Merrill came to [McCannon’s, Shorty Pick was the champion or leading man in the mine. 24 THF: ARLINGTON HIGH SCflOOL CLARION ery seldom checking lielow three dol- lars, he easily held the title. One win- ter's day, when he felt more ambitious, he had succeeded in reaching three- eighty, making him not only the highest ]M-esent worker, hut also the high record man in the whole history of the mine. Hut the day Merrill first worked in the mine, although strange and unfa- miliar to its methods, he established a record, not only in the mine, but also in the state. He checked out for four dol- lars and five cents ! The rumor of his marvelous earnings spread like wildfire. 1 he other miners were skeptical and they came to investigate. Yes, there it was, the record ; ton for ton. And Tim Merrill had looked nearly as fresh when he emerged from the mine as when he had entered it that morning. In a single day he had become the center of all eyes in River Junction; a Samson in their midst. d'here was only one man in the crew who did not come up to congratulate and admire the new hero ; that was Shorty Rick. To think that this big unknown heifer should come and before he knew it, take away his record, which he had never, he knew 'way down in his heart, tried to push to his highest. ‘T’ll show ’im he’s no wonder,” mut- tered the ex-leader, the man to whom every mucker in the mine had up to this time respected as their champion. So the next morning, with hatred in his heart, he set to work to win back his lost laurels, and at half-time he knew he had done at least two dollars’ work, and he smiled as he bit into his menial sand- wiches. He did better in the afternoon, and coming up to the tag-house found himself .satisfied. Four dollars and fif- teen cents was marked on the card ! Xow what would iMerrill do? Know- ing nothing of any competitor, he work- ed at the same pace as the previous dav and checked four dollars and ten cents. .Shorty, true to his nature, .stopped with several comrades on his piazza and watched the tired line of workmen pile u]) the path by ones, twos and threes, waiting for news of the foe. Noticing a pal who worked near Merrill, he asked as the friend a])proached, “W'hat did the big stiff pull in today. Jack”? “Better yet. Shorty,” replied Jack. “He’s sure a reg’lar guy, got four-ten.’’ .Shorty smiled again, held out his card, name, date and price printed in red ink. and said nothing. The men were still tramping wearily up the rocky way to civilization when Shorty perceived down the line, his head and shoulders above all. the hated mucker, Jim iMerrill, the late hero. He had seen Merrill once before; yesterday at this same time and place, hut as his piercing eyes leveled the huge figure today, he looked with a feeling of scorn, contempt, and utter hatred. “.Say. I’d like t’ polish that bum off,” spit out the little man standing on his rustic porch as Jim kept up his ground- eating pace past the hut, passing the slower ones with a couple of pals. Over the supper table that night it was known that .Shorty Pick was now the highest scorer, and he received many a friendly shake of the hand or a glance as the muckers saw' him the next morn- ing. He had kept the record with the veterans of the mine, and through extra- ordinary jxiwer, had not let any stranger grab it away from him. When Merrill started his third day at McCannon’s he also was in the spirit of competition. He had known no test of strength' in wdiich he had not w'on, so he felt confident to heat the mark made by .Shorty the i)revious day. As the varm spring day drew to a close, his hoj)es were high, for his new mark was four twenty-three ! Fight cents more than .Shorty’s yesterday; over twdee the aver- THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 25 age mucker’s output, never before heard of ! Shorty came up to liis hut, empty lunch pail under one arm, familiar card in hand, a smile on his tired, dirty face. Four twenty-hve for Shorty. The day won hy a hair, l ie a champion still. 'I'he next day Shorty got four-twenty, dropping a hit, while Merrill pushed within a cent of him, four twenty-four ! That was Merrill’s fourth day at the mine. On the fifth Shorty reached a zenith of four twenty-seven and felt con- fident, hut at nightfall he found Merrill being praised for attaining a day’s pay of four dollars and thirty cents ! That was enough for Shorty. On the morning of Merrill’s sixth day at Mc- Cannon’s, Shorty waited for him on his door-step. He would have no more of this. They would fight it out together, lie challenged Merrill for a hght to the death before starting time. No talk, they agreed. 'I'hey walked side hy side down the dirty path and into the hole ; two physi- cally perfect men, each a modern Her- cules, one of shorter stature hut greater fury, another of taller dimensions hut calm with the spirit of tight within him. They had few words ; words were un- necessary, it was time to decide which man of the two should be the victor. It was fifteen minutes before the whistle blew ; that was time enough. Down on the empty cars, down far into mother earth’s crust went the two ])owerful men. They had chosen a new opening, a small hole just the size of a ring, way down, where they might settle matters with their fists. They called no referee, they wanted no onlooker. They wished to fight man to man ; one to stay down in the hole to he forgotten, the other to win the glory of the champion- ship. W hich one would win? Both of c(iual strength, yet of different size ; where Jim Merrill made up in weight and height he lacked in boxing experi- ence. Shorty, however, was in his ele- ment at fighting and was unbeaten. And so they fought. For the fifteen minutes they had they went to it like Trojans. They did not hear the whis- tles: they fought on. Neither gained yet both were like tigers ; a battle never equalled, a bloody, desperate fight for supremacy. That evening the men mis.sed the two high muckers in McCannon’s mining- crew. After work that night they searched far and wide, they explored the whole mine, the whole town. No trace of the missing was found. One day in the next week a crew of muckers dug them out. An explosion, gone off hy accident, had shut them in, crushing them to the ground of their improvised ring. In Jim’s hack pocket, so soiled that it was barely readable, was found a letter addressed to ] Ir. Harry Pick Merrill, and the men read the following; Dear Flarry: — The real thief is found and you have no longer any. need to fear persecution. This is your younger brother Jim whom 1 have sent to find you.” It was signed Mother.” Enclosed was a small snap-shot of a hoy of about eighteen ; the comrades of the two l)roth- ers recognized the features of Shorty in the picture.

Why, he’d bet you about the day of his death if he didn’t know there wouldn’t he any chance for him to collect afterward.” Something like the Floyds in Lon- THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION L'() don,” remarked young Roliinson, who made a living selling chicken feed com- posed of sand, gravel, and brick dust. ‘‘ 'ho are they?” asked Mr. Hicks. W hy, Lloyds is a big insurance com- pany, but practically a gambling con- cern,” e.xplained Robinson glibly. “For instance, someliody Iniilds a big ship for four million dollars, and gets Lloyds to bet them three million it won't sink. If it doesn’t sink, the Lloyds win a premi- um : if it does, they lose.” 1 see.” Hicks scratched his head slowly, remarking at length : A business like that would be a paying proposition right here in Bingville.” Sure it would,” said Robinson. “The Lloyds offer odds on all sorts of elec- tions. You can go to them, bet on any proposition, and they’ll put up their money after they ffgure out the chances. Say, I’ve got to stay in this town till the train tomorrow; let’s you and I get a hold of this Joe Biggs and start a little gambling syndicate like that. It ought to go good with the loafers over at the corner store.” That’s a good idea,” answered Hicks, but we won’t take Joe Biggs into the company; if we did, we wouldn’t have anybody to bet against us.” “That’s right,” replied Robinson. “You and I will be the company, and |oe Biggs will be the betting public. W’e’ll put in ten dollars apiece for cap- ital. “Good, and we’ll divide the profits, ottered Hicks. “Sure. Now, what’ll we find to bet on?” Robinson rubbed his hands to- gether and looked about hopefully. The main street was deserted but for a long, lean dog that shuffled along side- wise. and snooped into all accessible cor- ners. “That’s old Joe Biggs’s dog right there,” said Hicks, his shrewd eyes lighting. “W'e ought to be able to find out something about that dog that Joe doesn’t know, and then bet him on a sure thing.” Joe Biggs’s dog shuffled up to the store and sniffed at a bag of chicken feed. “Hello, Pop!” greeted Hicks, taking hold of the dog’s collar. “I don’t sui)pose we can learn anv- tbing about Boj) that Joe Biggs doesn’t know,” remarked Robinson, looking the brute over with a sharp eye. “I’ll tell you,” Hicks winked shrewd- ly. “W’e’ll weigh Poj) on the scales here, find out what he weighs to an ounce, then we’ll go over to the post office, find Joe, and offer to bet him that his dog weighs what we know he does.” “That’s not a bad idea,” grinned Rob- inson. “You’re some partner, all right. Put him on the scales, quick, before any- body sees us.” They led the dog to the back room and Hicks made him sit upon the machine, while the gambling firm adjusted the scales and found that Pop tipped the beam at exactly thirty-nine pounds and seven ounces. Sitting near the stove among a score of tobacco chewing men was old Joe Biggs when the Bingville Gambling .Syn- dicate entererl. “Hello, Joe!” greeted Hicks, going .straight up to him in order not to lose time. “Where’s Pop? He ain’t with you today.” “Oh, he’s around somewheres,” said Joe, rising and going to the door to whis- tle for the dog. “I saw him yesterday,” continued Hicks. “He doesn’t look up to snuff. Kind of sick, ain’t he?” “That dog? No!” exclaimed Biggs, looking curiously at the stranger with Hicks. “He’s never sick. I’ll bet there ain’t as healthy a dog as Pop in the whole county.” THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION “I'll bet he’s fallen oft,” replied Hicks. “He doesn’t weigh over forty pounds.” “Forty pounds,” sniffed Joe. “I’ll het ten dollars he weighs every ounce of for- ty ])ounds and more, too.” “I’ll take you I” cried Hicks. In the meantime, Pop had come to the ])ost office in response to his master’s whistle. “I’ll take ten dollars with you, too,” put in Robinson, approaching joe Biggs, and waving a ten dollar hill in his face. “.Mlright,” answered Joe. “I’ll dou- ble it if you want to.” “It’s a het,” said Robinson, confident- ly, ])utting up ten dollars more. 'I'he postmaster held the stakes and the whole crowd moved into the hack room to weigh Pop. “Forty-one pounds, and an ounce over for good weight,” cried Joe Biggs, tri- umphantly, as the keeper of the general store announced the result. “Those scales are wrong,” cried Rob- inson, the first to recover. “d'hey true up, young feller,” said the storekeeper calmly, showing that the scales balanced perfectly. Rohin.son, however, refused to he con- vinced. He insisted that I’o]) he weigh- ed in Air. Hicks’s store. This was done, hut with the same result. joe Big.gs dei)arted with thirty dollars’ profit, and, as a result of this great dis- aster, the Bingville (iamhling Syndicate went out of business. Robinson was the greater loser, for he had made two bets of ten dollars each. W hen the salesman was safely out of town, old joe Biggs sauntered into Hicks’s feed store. “Here’s your ten dollars. .Si,’’ he said to Hicks, “and here’s ten dollars profit for you out of the young feller’s twenty. He was easy wasn’t he?” “Yes, them city chaps ain’t so smart as they look in their fine-cut clothes. 27 When your dog came by, and 1 suggested weighing him, Robinson fell right into the game.” “Too had that young feller didn’t know I had Pop trained to w'alk down ])ast your store every morning on his way to the butcher-shop to get his daily alowance of liver.” Florence G.ul, ’21. lAlPRFSSlONS d’UNF PERS( )NNF FN FR.VNCE PENDANT LA GUERRE French Prize Figurons-nous (|ue nous soyons cn h'rance avec un soldat pendant la guerre (|ui vient de passer.

'Fhe distance Ed traveled was not very long, When far behind me I heard a gong . nd what should come tearing up the street. But an auto in all its regalia complete. The man driving rang the gong as he passed And I thought my life had come to its last, A lien “Ski-daddle” danced off to the side in her fright, 'riien started to run with all her might. She went straight ahead ’till we came to a wall Then over we went, the saddle and all. We landed. Oh! Yes! hut all in a mess, And I thought my life was ended, I guess.

These curious stones, which are usually about an inch long, reddish-brown in color, and in the shape of crosses, are very puzzling to scientists. The one place in which they are found is a small valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains. There is a legend, told in the mountains, that a very long time ago, some fairies lived in the valley. One day, a messenger arrived, bringing the story of Christ’s death. When the news had been told to them, the fairies wept and their tears crystallized into small stone crosses. When I was travelling through Vir- ginia two years ago, I saw a number of these stones, some of which were just as when found. The clay in which they are found is in some places almost en- tirely covered by the crosses; some of them lie flat uj)on the surface while others stand upright. Idle crosses are sold as charms and are su])posed to be a protection against calamities of all kinds. Elinor Merrill, ’20. A STRANGE EXPERIENCE IN THE ROCKIES I was on a search for minerals in the Rockies when I had a most singular ex- perience. I set out from the village where I came for the summer early one bright, hot day. I had with me a gealogist’s hammer, a strong canvas bag and a long, thin, strong rope, the strongest I could ])urchase for the weight. I traveled as directly as was possible according to the direction of the people of the village for a small, narrow, but deep canyon quite a distance ahead. I was only a short dis- tance from the canyon when I sat down at noon to eat my lunch and rest myself. In a short time after I had started again I reached the canyon which, true to the description of the people of the village, was small, extremely deep and quite narrow being about twenty feet across, . fter fastening my rope to a cottonwood stump at the side of the canyon I slid down it a way, stopped to look for crystals and finding none went on again. I kept up this method of THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION ::o search and as I finally came to the bot- tom of the canyon I saw gleaming in the side of it a large amethyst. It was not so high above the bottom of the canyon Init that 1 could reach it standing. I had just finished prying it out when I was suddenly startled by the rope coming down on my back. It had slipped oft. How was I to get back to the top. 1 looked up. The very end of the cot- tonwood stump was to he seen. There was only a slight chance hut I resolved to take it. I coiled the rope and threw it up. It missed by a few inches. I threw it again. This time it went above and over the top. “That could not have caught.” I thought. So I pulled on it. Immediately the rope tightened and I heard a growl. Then suddenly I was jerked from my feet and up the side of the canyon. Over the top I was pulled, bruised, and torn. There T had the greatest surprise of my life. For run- ning from me was a large grizzly hear which mv rope had caught around the neck. Ai)i)arently the bear had sat down near the edge of the canyon and when I threw the rope it had caught him around the neck. The hear seeing no one in sight and being surprised had been frightened and tried to run away. Well anyway I was out of my dif- ficulty and there some distance from me was the grizzly running with the rope still around his neck.

There was a crash and a bang followed by a terrific war as of bedlam let loose. Above this horrible din, a stern voice was barely audible commanding silence. Possibly this re- fers to a study room. “Oh ! I hear it coming.” “What?” “A. Pierce’s new neck-tie.” A hurry call for Dutch Cleanser. Extract from Battey ’s theme — “Minds weighted with earthy things.” LATIN IV TRANSLATIONS The light was dark. He will die before he is young. IMiss. L-t-l-f-l-d : “Chickening, where were you last night?” Wice from the class: “Chez-elle.” Battey, Aslnvorth, and others leave lor the office. Hays Cliickering, “I feel lonesome in here.” All the latest toys for Seniors 1 Lady- bugs a specialty. Apply to Tupper Co., Room 17, 6th period. Pupil : “I don’t think you should have given me E on this test.” Teacher : “Neither do I ; but tbat was the lowest mark I could give you.” Isn’t it strange how troublesome one’s cough becomes when Davis appears with the notices. .‘M THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCTlOOL CLARION FRENCH IV }kliss L-t-l-f-l-d: “Now promise me you will have your lesson prepared per- fectly for tomorrow.” d'uppcr ; “Yes — some.” Anyone wishing to take the latest scientific course of “How to get in as late as possible without being caught,” apply to the Skinners’ Club. Good work- ing position guaranteed. ENGLISH IV IMiss S-w-s-y: “Write the name of the book you would most like to have.” T-p-r: “Mother Goose.” AIAGAZINE NOVELTIES Vogue : Ed. Battey. ITick : Chester Mass. The American Boy ; Bob Smith. The Independent ( ?) : Bruce Haire. The Modern Priscilla : Dorothy Dew- ino The Country Gentleman; Murray Walcott.

Judge; Whitman Hall. Life: Alton Tupper. The Outlook: Fred Ashworth. Everybody’s : Lester Shirley. We would advise B. Davis and J. Mor- gan to control their rising color. It is not very becoming. “Yes, Professor. There are .some fine specimens in this high school. Why in Room 12 there is a ‘Bug Pond.’ ” It is seen that Davis has a strong lik- ing for Tupper. Perhaps he spells it with an S. Wanted : A man to make a balloon ascension. One who never takes a drop. Cheer up everybody ! No matter how hungry you are you always find peanut butter and jam sandwiches in the lunch room. CLASS OF 1920 H. Preston, speaking to Miss Allen: “Well, I’ve definately decided on ‘Smith.’ ” Voice from the rear: “Which one!” In the 2(1 period French class: Miss !M-g-r; “Berry, say — ‘Don’t trouble yourself.’ ” Berry, rising slowly: “IMerci.” . nother of J. B.’s brilliant gleams : Miss IM-g-r: “Berry, say, ‘I am going for a horseback ride.’ ” Berry: “le me promime en voche. He always did like things ‘slow and steady.’ ” Should IMrs. Robinson start to read “Self Cultivation in English” after the Chinese method, (namely, backwards) she would soon discover the cause of 38 identical outlines. “No beer — No work.” — Mr. Gordon. IMiss L-t-f-d : “Turn around and face the board. Peggy.” 1 L C. (looking directly at Miss L.) : “I am.” Miss R-b-s-n (having first told for what 2 purposes the Roman forum was) ; “How did Aceio get his training for speaking in the forum?” G. Moore : “Selling fish.” THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION ,‘55 Miss L-t-f-d: “Turn around.” Pupil : “I can’t see the class then.” Aliss L. : “Well, sit in front of me, then you can see all the class you need to.” Instructor: “Smith, stop chewing gum.” Smith : “I’m not ; I’m only beating time with my tongue.” Cummings drew a picture of a hen so lifelike that when he threw it in the wastebasket it laid there. CLASS OF 1921 Teacher : “Whom do you believe to have been the greatest man in the W orld ?” Pupil : “Well to be duly modest, 1— er— ” Miss Robertson has a little wink Significant and slow And every time she looks at me That wink is sure to go.

Freshman: “Why are the Sophomores like a hard loaf of bread?” Junior: “Whv are they?” Freshman: “Because they have .so much crust.” CLASS OF 1922 Alg. I Harvard Student: “Now is this ex- ample clear?” Bright pupil : “Clear as mud.” Brighter pupil : “Well, that covers the ground.” Why is a bottle of olives like a kiss? Because after you get the first one the rest come easy. Did you hear about the awful accident in the Assembly Hall? No! what happened? M’hy one girl saw a seat and another sat on the saw. hy are French verbs like teeth ? Because they are regular and irregu- lar. What is the difference between a Freshman and a Senior? Three classes. x Heard at Class Meeting: “All in favor of this motion say aye !” “M'hat motion?” “.Shimmy, of course.” .Sh ! A secret — Eddie Powell is really dead but he is too lazy to close his eyes. The only thing that keeps the orches- tre going is Hutchy’s saxaphone and Palmer’s lil’ stick. i lis.s Dorothy iMeserve, our noted singer, is now studying with Dr. IMurphy, a native Italian, on the mouthorgan. Her object is concert work. In drawing they made cups for nuts for the teachers’ club banquet. r Baseball Winchester, 3; Arlington, 4 'I'lie Arlington team went to Winches- ter May 17 for its first league game. It was a good, interesting game, as shown hy the score, 4 to 3. Both teams played good hall. Tom Geary pitched well for .Arlington. Winchester; Arlington 6 Fhe second game with Wdnehester, May 31, was an altogether different kind of a game. The Winchester team play- ing poor ball and showing lack of fight, making it easy for the High School team, which played a good brand of ball. Watertown, 9 ; Arlington, 0 The old jinx was certainly around the first inning of the game, Watertown get- ting all its runs in the first inning. The second inning the Arlington team got going and played real ball, no runs being scored for the rest of the game. If the first inning could have been left out it would have been a good game. A'atertown, 3; Arlington. 1 The Arlington team went to Water- town. June 6, for its return game. The team fought hard, but were unsuccess- ful in beating the holders of first place. Although they were beaten, they showed an improvement over the first game. IMelrose, 7 ; Arlington, 2 The league game with Melrose on May 23 again brought defeat to the Arl- ingtou boys with a score of 7-2. Cap- tain Tom Geary, whose services are al- ways an important factor in the games for Arlington, was unable to play on ac- court of illness, and his absence greatly handicapped the team’s playing. In spite of the lead which Melrose gained in the first inning the boys jnfiled togeth- er in the second inning and held the vis- itors to 7 runs. Melrose, 7 : Arlington, 10 Arlington played its last league game on June 3. at jMelrose, playing one of the best games of the season, and defeating the IMelrose nine by a score of 10-7. By this victory Arlington finished its series of league games in second place, but it was won thru hard work, the score standing 7-7, in the ninth inning. Rut the hoys came through with the winning runs in the last of the ninth, thus win- ning one of the hardest fought games of the season. j j I I I THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION r.7 Watertown, Arlington, W'ineliestcr, Melrose, LINEUP 1 ).

To he sure this knowledge is not a gift — hnt nsnally things of real value cost some- thing. Diligence: ] erseverence ; serions, concenirated study are the jn-iee. How often have we heard ] eo])le say, “What a mistake T made when T was yonng; would that I had s] ent more time on my school work I” These men and these women have learned hy exjierience, often hy hard exjierience, the misfor- tune of having neglected llndr ednca- tioiial o]� ])ortnnities. The imjiils of A. 11. S. seem to have taken hold of their work this fall with real “jiep.'’ The entire school has as- sumed an air of hnsy, earnest woi-k. Perhaps hecanse the war is over; per- hajis hecanse school has not been inter- rupted hy an ejiidemic, school work is moving along in a most satisfactory way. Let ns keeji on doing all we can to lift high onr standard of scholar- shi]i. In hehalf of the school we extend a hearty welcomi' to Ir. Dross, who has returned to onr schocd from service overseas. Also we greet cordially oni‘ new teachers: .Miss Pinnig, liss (’on- way, iMiss IMontagne, IMiss Mnrdock, •Miss Shedd, Miss Stnrtevant, liss Ta- her, and Miss Vakefield. J. iM. GOOD G1TIZDN8I11P Of course one of the most important phases of any kind of ])nhlic school life is the training for good citizenshij). In this high school of onrs we train for it in various ways. Have yon evei- ex- amined onr splendid history and civic courses? Onr Taiited States History course is esjiecially good, for the ]ni})ils who take this learn not only those ord- inary facts ahont Colnmhns’ discover- ing America and the date d' the Hat- tie of Gettyshnrg, hnt also ahont the many different ])rohlems Avhich we, as a yonng re])nt)lic, had to fac( , and their significance comjiared with present day ipiestions. Have yon evei- connected onr high school athletics with citizen- ship? Perhajts not I Yet yon really should. Afhletics teaches to the ]day- ei's file motto “Play fair , which aftei'- Avards, when they have gone to take their jilaces in the world as citizens, may he aj)]died to many prohlems. And then again, when yon pay yonr weekly five cents to yonr athletic col- lector, do yon not think that yon are training yonrself for good citizenshi]) hy snjiporting a Avorthy canse? This is the sort of thing we all shall he called on time and time again to do in onr later life. All these things are im- portant, and we, every one of ns, should he interested in them. K. G. 0 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION LITERARY DEPARTMENT Play Fair ] ()!), 11k‘ im iiicilile leader of llie foot- liall eleven of the Vestellestel• lUfj ii Seliool, (lid not look like a leader at all at the jiresent inoinent. His hair was all rnnijded where he had ran his fin- ders thronjih it in a vain search for the answers that wonld ind eonie; and there wasn't ninch left to the stnhhy brown ](eneil, for the end of it had taken the place of the confectionery forbidden in the hijih school class room. The ])erjdexed athlete iized out across the hif 'h school jdayj’ronnd and won- dered daily why the science of f eoni- elry had ever been invented; there were so many Imttei' thinj s in life. The dreariness of the gray. November after- noon was very much in accord with his Ihonghts. How ninch this arrearage meant to him only the jierson who has had a similar ex]ierience can gm ss. He led the school in all things bat his stndies and there he did not shine at all, always doing his best, however, so as to be able to ]day on tbe teams. He had absolutely come to the end of his lesonrces in jmzzling out a ]iroblem and still the answer refused to come. In a lit of exasjieration he jdcked np the hated text book and slammed it on the desk. There was a rnstle of pajier on the desk next to him and with a slight swish a sheet of paper fell right side np on the floor near him. Quickly and nnconscionsly his eyes IVdlowed the light of the white sheet and took in at a glance the solution of the very problem he had been struggling so des- perately with. Horrified, he tnrmal away, but the mischief was done and the answer kejit rnnning through his brain. He knew snrely that one of his jmiblems was jj wrong, and jiosted in black and white jj on the blackboard was the nnwelcome fact that the fatefnl examjde connfed ' one-foni'th of the text. Again he looked out of the window to where the eleven was scrimmaging in iirejiaration for ; the game with a neighboring rival. J Thai the team was weak withont him ;j he very w(dl knew, and his heart leajit i at the thonght that here was a chance j'j to ]day and win the chamiiionshiji. j Why not'.' N'obody wonld ever know the ditference, for the teachei- had left | the room and there were no other pn- i I pils back that afternoon, tt'hat would the boys and girls of the school think if they lost the championshi]) of the ' 3firror Lake League because he, the idol of the schofd, had tlnnked a simple geometry ari-earage and so conbln't jilay? Besides, snrely, the sidntion «| wonld have come to him sooner or later 1 if he had waited long enough — even I withont the hel]) of that annoying white | sli]) of pajier. Of coni-se it wonld have; I he was sort — or almost sure — of that. | and he might as well tinish nj� the jia- , ]ier and turn it in. But why did he hesitate'? Tteeji down there was a doubt i that came from four years of fair jday on the school teams. There were stejis in the hall and deeji Vinces. Peering through the door. Bob recognized the athletic fraim of the cajitain of the rival team and the ; { princijial of his own school. i j ‘‘That’s Boll Moore in there, the cai� - ' | tain of onr eleven and leader of our ' j other siioiTs.” said the princi]ial. “He's j deeji in an amnirage, but we ho]� e he | will come out all right, for w( have i | THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION uevei' had his equal in courajie, leailer- shi]� , and fair play.’’ The otlier school ho}’ nodded and answered, “Yes, everyone knows of liim ; lie lif Iits to Ihe linish, takes his medi- cine if he has to, and has , iven yonr school, in all the neighhorinj - towns, a reimtation for fair play.’’ And tlieii he went on to tell him how 15oh himself had refused to make another team ] ay a iHuialty hecanse he had had a slight donht. A hot Hush mounted to Itoh's deter- mined face and his hand trendiled. A tighting light came into his steel-gray eyes, and he began to work again with renewed vigor on the eai'lier problems, leaving the place wlnn-e Ihe fateful ( x- ainple should have been, a blank. Then he straightened up and Innied in the examination, saying “How weak I was. Hotter never to play again and keeji my reputation clean.” Tlii-ee days later he learned he had jiassed. It was a vei-y scanty margin, to h(‘ sure, but still he had [lassed. Hob took 1h(‘ good news quietly, but again and again he was thrilled by the walch- woi'd, I’lay Fair — Play Fair. Fuaxcks Dwyer, 'lMI. His Troubled Conscience Joe Schneider walked slowly along Ihe country road with his hands in his pockets. Joe always thought slowly. The (lerman part of his inheritance had stamjied the characteristic of pon- deronsness not only iqion his stockv liody, Imt upon his mind as well. Hnt it had given him also the traits id’ thoronghness and tidelity that made him such reliable belli in Abner Snow's store. Hack of him, along the road lie had just traveled, came the sound of foot- stejis which Joe recognized. There was only one man in all that jiart of the country who walked like that. “Nice morning,” said a voice at Joe's side. “Yes, it is,” In answered slowly. The new-coimT was a man thirty years of age, bu t he Avas scarcely so tall as the boy, and of a much smaller build. ‘Ylade up yonr mind yef. ” he asked, eyeing Joe shar]dy as he Avas ]iassing him. “No,” replied Joe, “I'm just thinking ahont it. Yon saiil I could have a AAeek.” “So I did,'’ i-es])onded the other, lias- tening on. “I Avonder Avhy he Avants me to Avork for him?” thought Joe, Avatching him as he ra])idly covered the ground. The money Avonid be jiridly nice, but Ab- ner has alAvays bi'en good to me and Aimer doesn't like him very Avell.'’ Ai-rived Avithin sight of the store, he found ncAV food for thonght aAvait- ing him. The ground in front of the store Avas jiiled high with boxes and barrels. He had Avorked at Abner SnoAv's store for live years and nevm- to his knoAvledge had such a thing oc- curred before. Hurry up, Joe. I've been Avaiting for yon. We'A'e got a lot of Avork be- fore ns,” said the old man as he caught sight of Joe. A single buggy stopped on the roail in front of the store, and the doctor thrust out his head. s THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION “Well, Aldiei',’’ lie called in a tone of cmions interest. “Whatever be yon 11]) to this morning'?” •■rni taking stock,” relnnied Aimer prondly, and after a second’s hesita- tion, he walked to the road, :ind rest- ing one foot on the step at the doc- tor's hnggy, went on in a voice plainly audible to Joe: “Von see. Doctor, the time's come when we've got to adojit city measures. For twenty years I’ve had the only store for miles around in all this conntiw, and now a few months ago, that i nny little city chap comes along and sets up a one of these here cititied stores. He thinks jnst because he's on to them city ways, he can run me out, lint I’m agoin’ to show him, by gosh, that he's mistaken.” “T hoiie yon will, Abner,’ rejdied the doctor heartily. “I hojie yon will.” This encouragement was very sweet to the otfended sjiirit of the old store- keeper. He leaned nearer the doctor and lowered his voice. “Doctor,” he said, “What I'm agoin’ to say is confidential. I’ve been think- ing about that there boy, Joe. He’s a good boy, and he’s faithfni, and I’m ]u-( tty fond of him. But he's slow and he’s not the sort for city ways. I'm afraid he's not the sort to helji my bnsiness now. I dont’ know what to do about it.” “Well, 1 don't know, Abner,'' the doctor said; “I wouldn’t be too rpiick if I were yon. That boy may be slow, but he's no fool. I’d take my time if 1 were you Abner. I’d take my time.” The doctor lia])])ed the reins gently and drove on. 1’he day was a strennons one in Ab- ner Snow’s store. Joe, too busy think- ing and nourishing the hurt in his heart, worked faithfully, but did not stop to converse with his cnstomei-s. Towarils the end of the day he had at last reached a decision, and that niglir after the lights were out, the clerk of fert.'d his resignation. Abner's pale grey eyes looked at the hoy in amaze- ment, while relief and consternation stiaiggled in his heart. hat be yon goin’ to do'.”’ he asked shandy. Joe hesitated a moment before an swering. ‘Air. Simpson has offereil me a ]dace in his store, and he’ll give me live dollars a week more than you ] ay me.” The bitterness that Abner tried to hide crept into his voice in spite of him- selt. “At'ell, 1 snj)i� ose 3ou're getting modern, Joe, and call that enteri� risin’. ..Vccordin’ to the old notions 1 was bi-onght np by, ’taint square.” Joe’s cheeks Hushed and his eyes showed tire. “I guess it’s as s(piare as what yon sai l to the doctor this morning. I don’t: think I'd have gone if 1 hadn't heard that, although I didn’t mean to listen.’’ The next week Joe went to work for Simp.son. He found the new store very dilferent from the old. Everything was run systematically. Order ])revailed throughont, and time was considered valuable. Vtd Joe was not hap] y. The wav Abner’s business was falling oil’ had become the talk of the village. “. nd it's all nyv fault,” Joe whis I� ered to himself time and time again, ’flu' gi-ey of the old storekeeper's hair was rai)idl ’ becoming Avliite; the V holesome cheer of his face was fading to lines of nervonsness and anxiety'. Each da.v the old man’s footste] s were becoming moi-e heav.v, his figure more bowed. And each da}' it seemed to Joe as if he conld bear no longer the weight of unhappiness ; all this he had hrought ujion himself. Bnt a new ju'oblem was THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION I) I'adiiy liiiii. If lie had wroiij ed Aimer by leaving liiin and going to Simpson, he conld md now leave Simpson and relnrn to Aimer withont wronging his new emjiloyer. So week after week he thonglit about it, and then at last de- coded on Avhat to him seemed the most lionoralde action. He offered Simpson Ids resignation, and left that part of the country. The city he went to was liig and strange at first hnt gradually he began to tit into it. He fonnd einjilojonent in a large wholesale grocery that sold to conniry merchants, and here he learned much and rose .steadily. doe worked in the city two years. All his life it had been his habit to save money. At the end of the second ycoir he sent a letter to Simpson. Joe had never known imjiatience as he did during the week that followed. On Simpson’s answer depended all his fntnre hojies. t)n the eleventh day the answering letter came. Joe opened it with trembling tingers and read it once carefnlly. The next day he took the train for home. It was a dilferent boy from the one who had left that country town two years before, who arrived at the station late the following afternoon. The boy was far more bnsiness like in his man- ner. All that evening he sjient closeted with Sinpison .talking, arguing, draw- ing nji ]ia])ers; and from that room •loe linally emerged, content for tlu momcmt with all the world. Marly the next morning, he sought Abner Snow’s store. “Well, Joey,” said Abner after the first greeting, laying his hand on the fellow’s broad shoulder. What a young man you are, and so citified too. ell, I’m glad to see yon.” I’d like to speak to you ])iivately on a little mater of business, Abner, if 1 may,” .said Joe slowly. Certainly, certainly, go right ahead,” said Abner, sending out a small boy who was lounging on the counter. Abner,” said Joe again, I’m com- ing back into this ]iart of the country to live.

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS THE HLACKEK Duriii ,' the war when we heard of a slacker’' we at once tlionght of a jterson who tried to dodfi'e tlie lraft, or who didn't contribute to the snp- ]iort of the varions war-time organiza- tions. Hnt hasn't this word anotlier niean- in ? Slacker is a name applied to a person who is always, hy his lack of effort, hohlinj ’ hack the advancement of a good canse. He is, as it were, a weight attached to a swimmei''s neck. In a classroom, for instance, lie sits hack, and to nse a modern exjiression, lets “(Jeorge do it. Tims 1k‘ holds hack the progress of the class. That he accomjdishes less than noth- ing for himself is deplorable; tliat he is a serions detriment to any class of worth-while pnjiils is ahont twenty times more dejilorahle. The world had a standard of judg- ment and a standard of treatment for the war-work slacker. How ahont the attitnde of the stndent body towards tlie school-work slacker? After all, this name ajiplies to only a few heed- less persons. Yon jtrohahly do not be- long to this class. .ll'HTICE There are many qualities essential to good high school training. A jier- son cannot possess all these cpialities hnt there is one in jiarticnlar which shoidd receive carefnl attention. This is justice, a (piality which shonld at all times he exercised. One may ask, ‘AVhat is justice ?” The dictionary says that justice is a pi-actical conforndty to the laws and princijiles of right dealing. Hamilton said, “Jnstice is the end of govern- immt which ever has been and ever will h( jmrsned nntil it will have been ob- tained or liberty lost.” The memliers of a high school have a great o])]iortnnity to jiractice jnstice. Taking Hamilton’s detinition of jnstice we might jilace the high school educa- tion in the place of civil government ami then onr definition would read, dnstice is the end of high school ed- ncation which ever has been and ever will he jmrsned nntil it shall have been obtained.” Onr dnties to onr teachers, onr jiar- ents, and onr.selves call for jnstice. As for onr teachers, we may do them jus- tice by concentrated study and good conduct in both class and study rooms. We may do our parents jns- tice by grasjdng every ojiportnnity af- forded ns in school, for it is through their never-tiring effor ts that we are able to receive an education. Putting these suggestions into ef- fect is, after all, only doing justice to (lurselves, hut this will require no little time and effort. To do justice to our G 'HIE AUl.lNG'l'ON HIGH SCHOOL CLARlOiN (eachei's we .sliall have to spend more time at our hooks in the eveninj s and he more like hnsv hees in oni- class- rooms. To do justice to oiir })ai-ents we shall have to he more t'aitldhd to onr scliool work. If these sn 'j estions are cari-ied ont onr definition will read, “Justice is llie end of high scho(d education wliicli ever has I)een and ever will he pursued until it will have been oh- lained or knowledge lost.” i ave your CLAKIOXSI Tlie older you grow the more you will value them. tVe are now living in a glorious pres- ent.

Some time after your graduation, when alone or with a former school mate, you will want to recall these events, tt'ill you see a dim uncertain itast, or will you dig up a CLAlvTON and have the glo- rious present once more before you? Keejt the Clarion'll advertisers in mind, and remember that the man who is genei-ous enough to jilace an adver- tisement in (tur jtaper is the man who will go out of his way to give you a s([uare deal. Don't fail to answer all the (piestions at the end cd’ the Literary I)e] artment and ])Ut your answers in the Clarion Bor in the library. Bj the way, let us see some sna])]� y jokes for “('lass Notes in the Box! The ('lass Lditors re(juest that they he written on waxed paper so they can ncc throiifih them! Ne er before has Bill Shakesjteare's “Thus far our fortune keeps an on- ward cour.se and we are graced with wreaths of victory,” at the head of our Vlhletic 1 )e])artnient meant so much as at jire.seiit. With two chamjtion teanivs in our mi lst, how i)roud we are! The ('lar'ion, in behalf of the student body, wishes to (express its ai)]ireciation and delight for such success. Both Foot- ball and Hockey teams cannot he praised enough for the splendid way in which they carried otf their honois. Principars Column THE RISK OF DEFEAT The writer once overheai-d two ath- letes exchanging opinions regarding a football game in which their sc1k� o1 had been defeated. The oi)inions soon de- veloped into arguments and both dis- putants were profoundly convinced of the validity of their resjtective ])osi- tions. They were genuinely sincere. In this respect it is better to overhear than hear; one conucs much nearer the unadulterated truth. Furthermore, it was not eavesdro]i])ing on the ])art of the writer; the (mves were too high ip) on the school and it is a dangerous business anyway. It was jdaiidy by accident that he heard the discussion. One hoy regretted that the game had been ] lay(‘d because the team had been defeat(al and a clean record of victor- ies had been broken; he wanted to go through the season without a heating and therefore no games should he taken on where the ] rospects of winning THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 1 wt ie not umisually bright. He elabor- ated lii.s argimieiits skilfully and made out a strong case. The other boy ar- gued that the outcome of the games should not be considered, that all comens should be put on the schedule, that the game was the main thing, re- gardless of the score, lie also pre- sented his case well. The argument was brought to a close by the ringing of the bell for the next recitation. They had not settled the question, however, and no agreement was in sight when the debate termin- ated. Hut the discussion touched on certain i)oints which need to be brought out and cleared uj). Neither of the boys ai)parently had inquired as to the purpose of athletics. The former evidently believed that a series of victories was the aim and intent of the season's efforts; what the other thought did not appear in his talk. Accordingly, in the limited space at his command, the writer desires to dis- cuss one of these points, reserving the others for future treatment. Whenever a team enters a contest, three results are possible: a victory, a defeat, or a tie. That needs no dis- cussion. We will leave the tie out of consideration, as it is a vei y unsatis- factory conclusion, since it decides nothing, and does not often occur any- way, except in football. Therefore, it is either victory or defeat with which we are concerned, and chiefly with the latter, since that is the outcome which a team desires to avoid. No one can jiredict victory with any certainty. That has been abundantly ])i-oved this season by the numerous ui)sets in the football games. It holds true still more in baseball. Hence every team that engages in contests runs the risk of defeat every time it j)lays. No one could possibly arrange a schedule iu which that risk would be wholly absent. He might use his best judgment on all the information be could get and put easy teams on his list, and then to his dismay ffnd that one contestant was coming unexpect- edly strong and that a sound thrash- ing was in prospect. It is well that the risk of defeat can- not be elindnated. The uncertainty of the outcome is one of the elements which add zest and excitement to the contest. No one has much interest iu a foregone conclusion ; a forty-to-noth- ing game has little in it to attract one. It is not a real contest; it is a ])roces- sion and does not arouse much enthu- siasm. In conclusion one thing should be noted by the players. If yoii can’t go into a game realizing that defeat is as likely to come as victoiy, then stay out. If, after having done your best, you cannot accept a beating with ecpiauimity and fortitude, you have no business to be in the contest. The risk of defeat is ever jiresent, there are strange breaks of fortune in every s] ir- ited engagement, and if you cannot as- sume the risk with a willing mind and a brave heart, then athletic contests are not for you. The sjtectacle of a de- feated player in tears or whining over the breaking of a record of victories is not an edifying one. He arouses no l)ity, no respect, only disgust, and ])roperly so. Such a one is wholly out of ])lace on a gridiron or on a diamond. He would better go and and play soli- taire with a iiack of cards or tiddle- de-winks with the cat. Carl T). Huhtt. The ‘‘Yellow Canary’’ It was registi-atioii day at Stanwood. Here and there aljout the campus were groups talking and Janghiug. ( )ue new student, a broad-shouldered, six-foot, two-huudred- pound fellow, seemed lost in this hubbub, lie just sauutei'ed along over the campus. group of football men looked at him and passed comments as to his size and lightness on his feet, ile strolled into the registrar's oflice with the same easy-going stride, after the other stud- ents had signed, and gave his name as •James Long, Galveston, Texas. He was assigned to West Hall and his i-oommate was Heni-y Stewart, a New ICnglander. Stewart was in their room when I.ong arrived and greeted him with a regular Yankee smile that warmed one all u]i inside. Each soon came to the conclusion that he had a jtretty good i-oominate. Next day on the bulletin in large letters was the notice: IMPORTANT All football canfliflates for any team report to Coach Thornton at the football field at 3 o’clock. Long and Stewart in jtassing saw the crowd around the board and drew near. Stewart turned to Long, “Go- ing ont'. '’ Long shook his head replying, T don't think so.” •‘Gee, yon could make the freshman t(‘am cinchv,'’ answered Stewart. ‘■A 'ell, er-er, yon see I’m saving niy- ,self for the 'arsity next year.” Nothing more was said then. That night the A'ai'sify captain came over to see Long, but could not persuade him to go out. The season tvent on, the team won and lost, and the game most dear to them as hvst by only a “safety.’’ Long made the freshman basketball and baseball teams with ease and proved to be one of the stars in Stan- wood’s history, tt’hen tin year ended, he was one of the most jiopular men on the caniftus. A few days after college ojiened again in Se])tember there ajipeared on the bulletin board the following: IMPORTANT Football at 3 o’clock at the field. All men for all teams report to Coach Thorton. Long arrived and shots ed great abil- ity and knowledge of football in the first day's manoenver. This pleaseil the coach, for he needed a strong guard, but in the tirsi scrimmage Long weak- ened and the sub tca-e through and was continnally breaking ipt the ])lays. Practice went on for .several days and Long still showed that same streak of ••yellow.” A week later ex-Gapt. Prady .stooil on the side lines watching the team with critical eyes. No'v aii'l then the coach would bellow out a command THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 9 and the assistant coaelu's would shill the gears and try th“ maeliines along another coarse. Thornton exi)lained to Pradj why he had seni for him and told him to use all his tricks and s[ ar(i no dirty work on Long. The next day Brady faced Long and tried all liis old tactics on him. hut still the latter stood it all with a grin. He cleaved him, elbowed him, kicked him, and pulled him toward him, then with a rai. e of his knee he would catcli him in the stomach and send him sj)rawling. It soon spread over college that Long, the largest and heaviest man on tlie team, was a “YelloAV Canary.” At first it was hard for them to believe, but one look at the scrimmage game verified the accusation and his many friends dwindled to one, his roommate. Tlie coach gave instructions to tlie team to use his face for a jninching bag and the rest of him to wipe the mud from their cleats, but this did no good ; the yellow streak stuck. The first game approached, but it was the same story. Brady still liam- mered the life out of Long but all in vain. However, he told the coach he would not give uj) yet. It was an ideal day for the game be- tween Burlington College and Stan- wood. The game started and at the very beginning everybody knew that it was just a case of luck as 1o wliich should win because they were so evenly matched. But when the whistle blew for the end Stanwood had won, three to nothing. In next day’s practice Long got it” just the same. It surprised the Col- lege that he wasn’t dropped off the team altogether but the coach seemed to have a scheme which he kept to him- •self. All that week they practiced, and Saturday they were to go to Ohio State College. Friday evening the scpmd left and Long was one of them. All the way not a teammate spoke to him, but he s(Tmed indifferent. The Ohio team matched uj) to them l� rettly evenly and neither scored the first half, but in the second half on a kick off' and a trick the Ohio runner liad a clear field except for Long. Of course everyone gave up hope, when like a wild cat he took a flying leap through the air. He struck the run- ner at the knees with his shoulder and (piickly clasped his arms around them, and both men went down. The coach eagerly Avatched the next jday, think- ing that Long had come into his own, but he Avas the same old Long. Neither team scored the rest of tlie game, Avhich ended nothing to nothing. Though Long had saved the day no one e 'en spoke to him, but once in Avhile a team- mate AAmuld look at him with a glance of admii-ation. So the season Avent Avith noAv a vic- toi-y and noAV a loss, till the last game Avith the rival, Bochester College. The team Avas being keyed uji to this final fray. Brady Avas beating Long Avor.se than ev'er and once in a AA’hile Long would come back and then Brady Avas at his mercy. At the end of the day, Brady, bruised for the first time, Avalked uji to the coach, smiling. '‘He has more strength than any one I’ve seen and I’d be Avilling to bet that he could throAv me over the cross-bar.” “But Avhy doesn’t he use it ?” asked the coach disgustedly. “If I kneAA’ I’d soon knock it out of him.” The day of the last game Avas a ravv 10 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION one with a sky I'nll of 5 ray snow clouds. For the tirst time that year Long' was left on the side lines. Kocdiester scored twelve points the tirst half, while Sfauwood could get the hall only as far as their forty- yard- line. The team retired to the locker room. The coach storme l at them and Brady called them all yel- low. Suddenly a voice rang out, “You lie, ami you know you lie.” Fveryoue turned to see Long come foiward, and then in a voice that all could hear, “Fve stood just about enough from you, hut 1 won't stand being called yellow by you or anyone else. Fill going to give you a taste of your own medicine.” With that he lauded a blow, under which even Brady weakened, and then they fought it out to the spell hound amazement of the team. Even when the time keejier called, “One minute more,” they fought on. At last Brady sank to the door, his eyes swollen and his face bruised. Long, though shaken ii]� , looked as fresh as a daisy. “Time!” called the time keeiier. Long turned to the coach,” “Do f go in this half?” “Voii do,” he snaiRied hack. The team ran onto the fiehl amid cheers, and the second half began. Stanwood received the hall and went down the field for a touchdown. No one hut the team and the coach knew how they did it. Long sent sprawling everyone in his way. The team moved for a lirst down in two rushes. They kicked the goal, and the score stood 12—7. With thirty seconds and Kochester's hall on their forty-yard line, the half- hack received the hall and forwarded to an uncovered end. A figure with the s])eed of an eagle darted uj) into the air, j)icked the hall out of it, and was off with the whole Bochester team after him. On the five-yard line two men jumj)ed on his l)ack, still he kept going. Just as he stepjted acro.ss the white line, all went black before him. The whistle blew. Stanwood’s long cherished wish was fulfilled. That night as Brady a])j)roached Long's room he heard voices and saw through the transom that the light was burning though the doctor had left orders for Long to keej) (piiet. The room was full of students. Brady gave them five minutes to get out. When they were alone he turned to Long, •AWll you explain it now? It’s been the hardest problem T ever tackled.” With great effort Long said briefly, “At home, once, I fatally injured an ()])]tonent in a football game. Ills mind has never been the same since, and I swore I’d never touch a football again.” Ch.'lrles Oden WELLER, '22. Sketches THE LIOHTHOrSE KEEPER The lighthouse was on a bleak, snow- bound, rocky island, four miles off au etpially barren coast. The warm light, cast by the gi’eat lain]) high in the tower, was the only cheerful spot on that lone little isle. The keeper was a heut, wizeued-u]), little old mail who had Init few friends to keej) liim com]� any or to cheer him THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 11 lip. He stayed alone with his light- house and read hooks constantly, for they were his only real friends. The day was Christmas. As he walked slowly around his beloved lighthouse, the vision of former Christ- mases came to his mind. Tie saw again his dear wife surrounded hy their chil- dren, heard once moi’e the clamor of the childish voices as they exclaimed over their simple gifts. How happy they had been together! Hut now they were gone and he was left alone. Christmas alone! On a little isle, cold and cheerleiss ! No one to wish him well ! As he wandered close to the rocky shore where the cold green waves dashed mercilessly on the great rocks, he noticed a long dark hlue-green bottle rise and fall with the waves. “Why, it’s jnst like a hahy, heli)less like!” he exclaimed, for this lone man of the lighthouse had a wonderful im- agination, “dashing against Iholse cruel rocks.” As it Avashed ujion the beach, he stooped doAvn and ] ticked up the bottle when he heard something rattle inside. Pulling off the tinsel-covered cork, he drew ont a papjter. On it Avere the blessed AA'ords : “Merry Christmas and a hajtjty XeAV Year.” Kle.vxok Hast.af.vx, ’20 CHASING THE ELESTVE LATIN (With all due ajtologies to the “Lost Chord” and to George Ade).

PLAYED TIHL NT I'larly one sjiring morning, on my Avay to schoid, 1 met a hoy friend, Avho also Avas going to schoid. 1 don't knoAA' Avhether it was spring fever, or one of the big cii-cus jiosters of the Harnum (5c Hailey, Hingling Hrothers combined shoAvs, or just the Huckleherry-Finn naturi of my hoy comjianion. Hoav- eA'cr, before Ave had gone far ])ast the posters, Ave decided to go liack and look at them again. We gazed fondly at them for a feAV minutes, and th(‘ longer Ave gazed, the less important school seemed. We heard a truck coming at that moment, and, Avith a last longing look at the jiosters, and a hasty one in the direction of the school. 12 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION we liopped tlie truck. It wasn’t llie most comfortable ride to l e bad, but it broufjht us to the circus rounds. We Avatclied tlie men juit uj) I lie tents. There was a good deal of ex citement. And althougii my comjiau- iou, who had playeil ‘diookey’’ many times before, 'was having a pretty good time, I somehow couldn’t enjoy my- .self. I had sort of a hollow feeling in- side; and the more I thought of school, the moi e that sensation grew. Sud- denly we heard the roar of a lion ; whatever internal feelings T might have had were forgotten in the excite- ment that followed. The keejiers were feeding the lions whose table manners were bad. They were impatient: and gi'owls and roars could be heard all over the lot until the keeper thrust the meat in on the end of a steel rod. Then they would s]� ring ujion it and chew it as though they were starved. The lious had grown quiet. Then we followed the crowd and bonglil some ]ieanuts for the monkeys. The worried exjiressions on the faces of the smaller monkeys, as their elders chased them away from the indigesilde jteannts, made us laugh. For it re- minded us of ex])ressious we had seen on the faces of freshmen when called to the office. The tall giraffes in the next cage reminded ns of certain u] - ]� er classmen who were ])robablv studying at that time in room fifteen. We peeked into the tent of assorted freaks but hastily backed out; for there was too much for our fresh- manly gaze. With the dawn of the next day and an approaching consciousness, came the realization of school. A ])romise of no more “hookeys” and a few afternoon sessions cured me of circuses for a while.

A CHIHSTMAS TALE The tiny stars winked coldly down. On New York one Christmas night. And the thickly frosted street lamps. Sent forth their uncertain light. From time to time small Huffy Hakes Of snow, fell softly down. And on their slow decent to earth. Rustled like a lady’s gown. And o’er the icy pavements swept. The late and hurrying throng Of shoppers, who with mincing steps. Threaded their way along. In a tiny niche in a dam]) recess, Of a building dark and tall, A little child was huddled up. Against the cold stone wall. Iff With great dark eyes n'eath tangled hair. She gazed ui)oii the scene, Ami closer drew her worn ])laid shawl, Her shield from the wind so keen. Her shoes and stockings ragged were. Her dress was ragged too. And by her deep, sad eyes one saw. No ha])piuess she knew. A working man came linrrving by, And joy was in bei- heart. He knew the road to liai)])iness ; , Of love he knew the art. And now his meager salary He'd stretched with all his might. To give his little tots at home, A Christmas of delight. Then all of a sudden down he sli])t, - nd everywhere around, I’nndles of every size and slia])e Were strewn along the ground. The little girl in the dark recess. Cave a wild! cry of lelight, For a tiny doll with llaxen hair. Had fallen just in sight. She started to rnn with her tiny ])rize. Hut then turning without ado, She walked uj) to the man and softly said, The dolly belongs, sir, to you.” Tbe 'Soft, sweet tones of the yearning child. Caused a mist before his eyes. And he said, ‘‘Take it kiddy, for tbe love Of the great Civer in the skies.” 14 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION Xl'itli saddened lieart lie turned away, And the child stood there amazed, The doll still held in her outstretched arms, ’hile joy in her soft eyes hlazed.

Yet a smile of contentment and rest, lllnmined her sweet, angelic face, And a doll was hng i;ed to her breast. (Jentiose Weaver. tVllO KNOWS? How many of these questions can yon answer? Five? One?

POST-SEASON GAME Peabody 7, Arlington 0 When two champion teams clash on the gridiron there is bound to be one of the finest games a spectator could wish to see. This was the case when, on Dec. 6, the Peabody team enter- tained onr boys at the tannery city. It was a struggle from beginning to end, and it can be judged from the score that the teams were pretty evenly matched. It was back and forth over the field until the third quarter, when ('apt. Lawrence of Peabody broke through for a long run. Hargrove, our ipiarterback, made one of the best plays of the game by stopping him on onr five-yard line. But the Peabody boys had so many tries that on the fourth down the ball went over the line for a touchdown. Both teams jdayed well and it was indeed one of the best games between school teams this fall. 20 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION Field Hockey Ihis past season the girls liiiished a most snccessfnl season in Field Hockey; once more they are cham- pioiis of the state.

OUK CHANCE In these trying' times when Bolshe- vism, socialism, and anarchy are en- deavoring to ovemde democracy, it is really essential for ns to keep in con- stant touch with current events. Daily newspapers, weekly and monthly peri- odicals devote j)ages to the study of these distinctive ] eoples whose chief aim seems to be the downfall of a true democratic government. AMiy should w e read about these ]� eoi:le? Will not such reading instil in onr minds acts of cruelty against our country and humanity? No, not if the reading is done in the proper way. When we intelligently read these ac- counts, clearly understanding and in- terpreting the vsitnation, our every thought and desire will be bent to oblit- erate even the slightest movement to promote 1h(‘ bolshevist and socialist ideas. We, who attend a school whose un- derlying ])rinciple is democracy should not only have our minds and hearts moved by these criminals, but we should take action. Bight here, now, we have our chance to pj epare to light Ihese ])eo]ile. It seems t(� some of us that the study of these rebels has little or no connection with us, but if we stick to our school work, if we read the be.st that great minds have given and ai'( giving now to the world, we shall be six hundred and thirteen more citi- .(ms to tight bolshevism intelligently; one more ol)stacle in the path of ruin. EFFICIENCY IN STUDY l’hen a pn] il who has failed in a recitation is asked how much time he has studied on the lesson, it is not un- nsnal foi- him to answer, with perfect honesty, that he has spent a whole study |K i-iod on tin' subject. Another ]nij)il who has studied one-half that hmgth of time may give a satisfactory recitation. Why should this be so? Possibly the second ])upil has a natu- ral desire and ai)titude for study, l)ut in the majority of cases another reason may be given. The first pupil’s failure was due to lack of concentration. In his study ] eriods, he probably o]� ens a book and starts to memorize a sentence or two. This grows tiresome, so he lets his gaze and his mind wan- der. As time passes, he may bring his thoughts together again but he has then forgotten what he ah’eady learned 0 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION iiinl wlieii lilt bell liiifijs he has onlj’ a aj;iie idea oi' liis lesson. This is the i- esnit fo a hai liazai’(l method of study. 'I'lie siiecessrul sclndar, on the con- ii- ary, linds out iu what way he can i-cMiKMuber his studies most easily and iis( s the method that he prefers. Per- haps it is by readiuj ' the lesson over sev( ral limes; |)erliaps. by recitiuo- to himself: or (piile likely it is l y jottius lowii tlie imporlaiil facts. lie sehlom tri(‘s to uiemoriz( words; he memorizes ideas, lie “ets a j eueral view of the work and then picks out the most ne- cessary |� arts and imjjresses them tirmly on his mind. In this rvay, he Icarus iu aii orderly manner, and his tini(“ is profitably spent. It would be a ”'ood jdaii for each l)n|� il to analyze his own methods of study and to see if h( uses all of his study time to iood advantage . EHicieut study means more time for outside in- terests as Avell as better recitations.

The teacher pi-obably hopes tor soimdhiii}; humorous on “Being Bad. and t hope she gets it, hut not fi-oiii me. All “Being (Jood makes me lhiid of is a girl ])laying with one of llio.se golden haire l dolls with blue eyes that blink when it is tipped up backwards. Still 1 can write on ‘LMarch Skies,” t hat is in a tigui-ative sense. Ifow' very inspiring! Just mention March and T immediately think of slush, mud, snow- balls in the back, ash barrels, and then there are those dismal days at school with the fifth jieriod as the one bright s]� ot, and T dread that next Tuesday. What will the teacher do when I come smiling in ; will she call me to her desk and tell me that my etfusion is a bad egg, or will she give me the icy glare and ignore me the rest of the period? But then I should fret, 1 will get up and tell her that the essentials of poetry are rhyme and versiflcation. She will be so suriirised by my knowiedge that she will forget all about the theme. Hum, yes; she w ill emit one or two terse, .sarcastic words accom- panied by an approjuiate look. T know that look. T have been lucky in escap ing it so far. But by the wmy, I had intended to write about the outlook of life of those people wiio live in a shack with a sw'arm of children on the back roads of New' TTampshire, miles from no- where. A happy life is theirs; oh my, yes; and wluit pleasant things the fu- ture must have in store for them. Over half the farm lands of New' England are vacant and growing over with bnish and weeds, yet some men choose to work a rocky patch in the back woods when they could have a good farm if they only went after it. Heigh-ho, life is what w 'e and the weather make it, and today the w'eather rules. It w'as a dull day so the theme is liable to be dull, but don’t go to sleep reading it. And don't say. “How does he get that w'ay?” You may think it, but it is slang and 7iot to be used. Henry S. Ad.vms, ’20. SCENF. (OH SEEN I, IN A STUDY BOOM Have y ni ever noticed.

The things that he could do, I think you’d find that this is what He'd no doubt say to you. “I can play a little tennis, Play a little football ,too, Row a little, dive a little. Play tlie ragtime, old and new, “Can I dance? Oh, yes, a little. Nothing wonderful, you know. And my paintings though quite decent Surely’d never make a show, “I can sing, but just a little. Half the time I’m off the key. And when I think I'm singing F, I'll find I’m striking G. “But oil, I made the Glee Club, (’Cause they needed more to sing.) And I’m crazy ’bout debating; Think it’s really quite the thing. “And there’re lots of things I like. As athletics — writing themes.” And you look at him and say, “Genius surely through lilm gleams.” But honestly, you’re very wrong. What he should really do. Is find the thing at which he’s best. And start and see it through. Not that he shouldn’t enter in. To all the others — no. But he should find the thing on which, Alcst of his time shou’d go.

HOCKEY Captahi, Samuel Bower. Hamujcr, Edward Butler. Coach, yV. T. ilcCartliy. The hockey team closed its season on March 17, by defeating Biookline lligli 4 to 2. It lias been an unfortunate season, tlie lioys playing under diH'icul- ties. The greatest handicaji wa.s the lack of a rink for jiractice. During the last two months lln squad jilayed, whenever ice was available, with little or no practice. This accounts to a cer- tain degree for their hard luck in some of their games. Although money enough to procure a rink was linally attained through a generous gift by the Women's Club, it -ame too late for this year's work. Next year, hovcuei-, W(� look forward to a winning team, one that will make Arl- ington High School famous as other hockey teams have done. The team of 1!)20, nevertheless, deserves our thanks for they ])layed hard in spite of ob- stacles. The season began on .January 1, by the annual scrimmage with the Alumni. This game was slow, and ow- ing to the poor condition of the ice, a good exhibition of hockey could not be shown. The alumni were victorious bj' a score of 2 to 0. Then came games with .Middlesex, Stoneham, and the Harvard, and the Dartmouth Eresh- meii. The first two games were tied while the team lost to both the yearl- ing teams. By defeating lelrose 2 to t) and Somer ille 2 to 0, th(“ sipiad (‘arned the right to enter the series to be ]ilayed at the Ice Pavilion in Cambridge.

On March 22, the basket ball season closed. It has had a fairly snccessfnl season — far lietter than last year, — and although having its “nj� s and downs,” the team always jdayed well. The season opened with two ] relimin- ary games, the team defeating both Weyimnith and Beading. The league schedule began on Jannary 2, and in- cluded games with some of the strong- est quintets of Oreatei' Boston. In the fourtetm league gatnes. Arlington -won .seven and lost seven. The defeated teams were Wellesley and M'inchester (two gam si, Watertown, Brockton, and ’inthro]i. The best games ]dayed were those with Fhelsea, Brockton and Vinthr()]) in our own gym. In each cast both teams fought hard to win and an overtinu ])eriod was mH-essaiw to de- cide the victor. The boys came through finally in the Winthroji and Brockton games, winning from Winthrop by three ]ioints and from Brockton by two jioints. The third game went to Chel- sea at the last minute. Of a total of nineteen games, the team won twelve. Th(‘ team tinished u] the season with ihree successive wins over Wellesley, 'obul■n, and AN’inchestei-. A large sup- port from the school followed the team to ’inchester on the night of March 22 when it tinished its season. The sec(� nd team has developed well through the season, and a big score at Winchester jii-oved their ability. We look forward to anothei good team next year. The jdayers and their num- bers this year are: ('ooledge (1), Smith ( 2 ) , Burtt t o), II argrove 1 4 ) , Viano to), Phalen (G|, Duncan (7), Bados- lovich (8 1, Fall (!� ).

Now, you are pictniinj'- to yourself a (luaint little town with a cliui-cli, and a little red sclioolliouse, anil the numerous other little thiiifi's a ([uaiut little town always has. I’nt, Dojitown has neither cliuroh noi- school. In fact it isn't a town at all. Itofitown is a. wilderness coveriujt sevmal sipiare miles, with ahsolntidy no trees, Imt enonjih rocks to relmild till famous walls of Troy. There (Ireat (ilacier must have rested awhile and unloaded a j ood part of its carj i). for there ai-e lii;;' rocks, and little rocks, and medium sized )-ocks, also a. termi mil morain. And in hetwiam the rocks is scruhhy turf. There is one hu“(‘ rock that is round and Hat on to|i, commonly known as Peter's Pulpit. Then there are two rocks shoot iii“' u|� into the air forminj'’ an acute an le. known as The Whale's daw. Some- where in tlie wilderness of rocks is a lu f swani]i which it is best to avoid. A loii“' time a� i'o a stranj e tribe of jieople lived in this wildenu'ss. T!u ir homes were stone cellars, and as sheep- raisinji' was their occupation, they dressed in sh(H ]iskins. Naturally, liv inji,' in this stranf e way they were thought, by the honest country folks, to b(‘ Somewhat ridated to witches. In fact, thme were sui� ])osed to be several of the sjiecie amon«- them. There was one old woman, by the nnnsual name of Tammy Vunj er, who had the (dever habit of sfoinji’ out on a certain ] art of the highway whimever some farmer was diivinji his load of rijie, yellow ] iimpkins to the markid jdace. The poor farnuu-, fri ht(m( d into tits, would IT) ur ;e his horsi down the hill witli all sjieial ,in order lo avoid any spells.

I ask it still. Would not a freshman (now don’t get mad) he just as green if another name he had? Would net the faculty he just as wise, if some other nomen we could devise? And oh little Phord, wouldn’t you lamhle along with your tuneful song, if we picked out for you a new word? And lunch-room dear, without a peer, wouldn’t we enjoy and crack up your grub, if by some other title you we should dub? What’s in a name, again we fling — comes back the answer, Not a thing! Look at Washington, that famous old lad, wouldn’t he be father’’ if another name he had had? A nd had Abe Lincoln been called Shylock in state, would he not have been, fiiends, as great? So you who are burdened with wild names, (like mine) — please ponder awhile and heed to this line: What’s in a name: of all the words we would meet, a rose by any other name will smell just as sweet! - R.

At the fnrther end of the gym, a .lapatiese garden made of lattice work strewn with Howers, was cleverly fashioned. Over this rested the jniuor class ban- ner.

However, they all departed, to talk it over and i-ememher if as an epoch in their school life. For what are the last two school yeai-s withont a social? They are our idea of nothing at all.

CLASS lllSTOBY “History, in the broadest sense (d the word, is all that we know about ev- erything that man has ever done, or thonght, or hoped, or felt. It is the study of hnman alfairs. So says the detinition given by Bobinson. This present historic treatise deals with oidy a small, but, for ns, a most impor- tant inirt of the history of the world. Its aim is to set forth to yon all that we, as members of the class of 191MI, i have done, tlnmght, and hoped since I onr organization. ' We were bamled together as a class ' five years ago in the .Tnnior High I School. In those days onr cdass was ' called the snb-freshman class of A. 11. S. rather than by tlie name now as- sumed by mendiers of the same grade; the ninth-call it-the-eighth. Being the tii'St class to graduate from that school, we came together as a unit in order to get acquainted with the customs, liab- its, and follies of the senior high school. tVe were, although (piite immatuu' in charity work at this time, called upon to h(d]( the A.H.S. Athletic Ass'n, whicli was (sver its heail and hands in debt. We I'i'si'ouded most generonsly and succeeded in helping to have the ass(!ciati m just over its head in debt. tYe were iilso askeil to contribute to a jr.nd to puiadiase a 'ictro!a to leave to the -lunior High School as a memor- ial of our s])irit. This spirit has never ccas(‘d to resound within the walls of that structnie. We went over the tojt in this di-ive also. A little while after, the Wctrola cam( ; but we heard it jda.yed !nly once or twice. Such was the reward (d’ our generous co-oi era- tion. The activities of that year were con- (duded by most eaiiu'st ])reparation for exams, an event which has not oc- curred sinc( that year. Then we entered this building, whi(di was new, haing been built but two years jaevious to oui- advent bithei-. The bnihling having been erected on tbe site of a former town (Lini]) resem- bled us in at least one way: namely, that of its stability, whicdi at that tinu caused as mmdi jxipnlar discussion among the citizens of the town as did our stability among the ujiper (dassimm (d' this school. For proof, consult any one of the discipline teachers. The only so(dal event of that year was the election of cdass oflicers. The 10 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION result was as follows: Kohert Smith, President; l' leaiior Eastman, 'iee- President; I’hlith P.anmister, Secre- tary; John ('rosl).v. Treasurer; with Mr. (iordon as our constellation, the (Jreater Pear. Also, heinji’ a most hnsiness-like class, we elected the ofti- cers of the lirst hraiich of the A. J. II. S. Alumni. A constitution and hy-laws were ]u‘o- mnlj ated. In lookinf over the hndlet, 1 read the iir(� verh; “Lar«e oaks from little acorns row. To this ]� roverh P.tL’O has proved as true and faithful as we do to every ideal. The towei-in«', stately tifini-es of Prenton, Pntlei-, and ()j ilvie hear ample testimony. In retnrniiift to school for our Sojdi- omore year, we found Mr. Carl D. Pnidt as ]irinci]tal, sncceedin ’ our rather (piiet friend, Mr. P. Holmes Wallace. Mr. Pnrtt came at a most tittinji time. In the spring' (d' that year, yon well recollect the onthreak of the war. This � ave onr new fiiend a splendid ojiitortnnity to expound his i leals of Yoinifi Ainrrira, Srlf licspon- yiUtiliti , and School Spirit. The ret nlar election of class ofticers took place, the result: Pohert Smith, President; Madeline I’ond, Vice-Pres- ident; Loni.se Parker, Secretary; dohn C'roshy, Treasurer. Mr. Sullivan was elected class advisor. When the call to arms came, we were shown that a soldier was not only a fellow over the di-aft aj e, hnt also OIK of less years who was willin' ’ to lij ht for his country. There were at least ten of this kind of hoys from onr class. Pnt arms, we were assured, would not alone win the war. Food was necessary. To this call also many of onr af ricnltnrally-inclined class- mates resjtonded. As yon may well re- alize. it surely was a fjreat sacrifice for 4 these hoys to f ive up the last six weeks I of school for so nohle an nndertakin;t. | For help in war activities meinhers j of the Sophomore (dass were asked, aloiifi’ with the rest of the schoid, to address jmjiils of the schmd on assem- hly morninj with four-minute talks on j; Liberty Ponds t� r some such line of or- atory. Von need only to look throu} h L onr class, and then yon will not won- ' der, as some classes did, at the reason j why the teachers selected the class of pil’d as the best orators of all the j classes. Onr elass was heinji duly ap- j ])ieciated by the othei' classes and hy the faculty. Thus endeth our second year. Then came that lon;t-looked-for year. The | lirst ret ular ] roceedinft (d' the term ! was the election d’ class ofticers. Pob- ert Smith was elected President; Mar- ion Wiiif ’, Vice-President; Madeline Pond, Secretary; ILmdd Horton, , Treasurer. The } uidinft liftht of this | year was Miss Stuart. Put, to our j j reat refi'iet. Miss Stuart left us in Feb- , rnary. She went to Canada, haviuj; accejded a position there as teacher. Miss Woodland f uided us throuf h the rest of the year. , The name ■liinior brings the j same thought to you, PI22, I supjmse, as it did to us. Well, to us it meant j the advent of a social, the event to | which we had been looking forward i since onr freshman year. Then came i the night of nights, the social. Tlie ! Seniors had jiresented their jtlay three weeks before onrs, and their work was | highly commendable, bnt when we j came forth with our Hnstrel Show j they had to sit and stare with the ut- most astonishment and admiration. All had a very enjoyable evening and went home with the idea that the dun- iors were ‘‘some class.’’ THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 11 Fimill.v we were Seniors. What joy, wluit pi ide, we felt when we were giv- en a jK rtion of the assembly hall right wimre all the nmler-class nienibers might observe and follow our most ex- cellent example; and it is not our fault if they have not profited thereby. This has been the first year since the out- break of file war that the school has gone along with its regular program. ('lass officers were again placed in their responsible seats with Kohei't Smith I’resident — a good habit is al- ways hard to break — Marion Wing, Mce-l resident ; Madeline Pond, Secre- tary; and Harold Horton, Treasurer. Our war hero, Mr. Cross, ascended to the office of Class Advisor. After one hundred and one hours of hot discussion we finally came to the conclusion that it would he better to have the Junior and Senior socials combined. We can assure the under- graduates that we had a great time. The eats, the show, and the dancing were tine, certain members of the Junior Class, however, should try to coniine themselves to original jokes. After 5 days, return to On May 'll we missed a certain young man from school, at least the fourth-year French class did. This, by the way, is the lirst class ever oigan- ized in this high school to take up fourth year French. Well, this young man came to school next day with a baseball. Avhich he had caught at b'en- way Ihirk the day before. It was Pahe Puth's tenth home-run hall. J)ist think of the i)roud feeling that Charlie Tohey brought to our l)oys on the base- ball team, although (Jharlie himself is not a baseball ]� layer. Perhaps you will rememher, under classmen, if you have any sort of mem- ory at all, the day that the bench and camera were out here in front of the school. That signified the taking of the first class picture since Ihir). I will not dare, because modesty prevents me, and I refrain from embarrassing any one of the my fellow classmen, to tell you whose j)icture came out best. Pecent history also includes the Sen- ior dance, an event which, 1 am sure all will agree, was a worth-while affair. Thus I have attempted to recall to you our hopes, our thoughts, our deeds, fr(� m those days of our J. H. S. youth to our j� reseut Senior age and dignity. The annals of !!)-() as under graduates are completed. Put we are now begin- ning a second book, entitled The Post- Graduate Pecord of the Class of JosEiui 1 . Me.vxey. CLASS WILL OF P.� 2() Vhen, in the course of High School events, it becomes necessary for the members of a class to dissolve the fra- ternal bands which have connected them with the other classes; and to as- sume among the various walks of life the res])osibilities to which life, liberty and a pursuit of knowledge entitle them, a decent respect for the welfare of the lower-classmen rcMpiires that they should set forth in Avriting Avhat is undisjuitably their last Avill and tes- tament.

Class Poem of 1920 At the wide-thrown open gates, Where the one broad road divides; Here the class of ’20 stands Searching the ways on either side. ♦ ♦ And one road climbs straight upward And this road goes to the city, To stern “Wisdom’s” lofty height. To the office of business or state: The ascent is long, stony, and darksome. A street ever busy with traffic’s At the summit the sun shines forth bright. Ceaseless stream, which will never abate. But the last road leads awinding Through the valley’s tranquil green. Where little homes dot the wayside And fair fields stretch between. ♦ Choose your pathway; choose it wisely.

Of course dimmy did not resent criticism, for his beard was the jiride of his heart, and to have ]� eoi le acknowledge the fact that he i-eally had one only made him all the more elated. For the last year dimmy lunl been cultivating this growth until it had now reached that stage of maturity where, as dimmy thought, it needed immediate atten- tion. Now the jiroblem was who Avas go ing to shave it; whether it would b( more manly to sliavt it himself, using his father's razor, razor strop, and shaving mng, and to boast later that he him.self did the deed; or Avhether it might not lie more imja-essive to ] ay the liarlim- a visit the following Satur- day night, a time when the ])lace' was crowded. Finally, after a terrilic struggle lietweeM conflicting view.s, he decideil to follow the latter course of ])i()cednre. ( 'onseipiently on the folloAving Sat- urday night, he ajijieared at the barber shoi� accom]� anied as far as the door by his jealous admirers. After bidding farewell to his friends, he entered the shoji, and with a slight swagger in his st( ]� , head held erect and arms swing- ing like jiendulums, he strode to the further end of the floor Avhere there was a vacant seat. .Vs he j assed by a table he ]dcked up an evening news- pa]ier, tlien sat down crossing his legs., lie forced a boi-ed e.x])ression upon his face, scanm‘d the headlines of the pat� er Avithout gi-asping their meaning, and aAvaited his turn. At last his chance came. ‘•Next,’’ casually s])oke the barber. dimmy jumj� ed t(� his jdace on the chair. ‘‘Why, er, I Avould like a sha -e,” re- ])li( d dimmy in a tone, loud enough f u- others to hear. The barber Avas almost immediately attention, Avhile at the same time a loAV hum of voices Avas heard at dini- mv's i-ear. It Avonid be hard to describe Jim- my's fetdings at this jioint in his noA’el expei ience. .Vll I can say is that the days Avas his and he intended to carry it olf Avith cohtrs flying. . s soon as dimmy had made known 4 ft V I t 1 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 21 his h‘sii( lie l� ef :ni to j-ive exiiHcit orders aeeoiuiianied willi various com- idieated j estures as to how he wished the harher to proceed.

The harher listened res]iectfnlly to all flimmy's directions while at the same time the corners of his month seemed to have tits of twitchin i'. “Poor man, must have St. Ttns dance,” thon.uht dimmy, as he watched him. The lather was soon slajiped on and the heard was ready for its removal. Hnt before continnin ', the harher imf ■tm his j iasses, and then, evidently tliinkin - they were not the rij ht kind adjusted a pair Avhicli had a stron ier lens, •limmy couldn't ipiite account for this hnt tinally forced himself into helievinji' that he had made ([nite a hit with the harher and conseiinent ly he decided that the fonnm- intended to do an e.xtra line joh.

The effect of this nnex]iected deviation from the ©rdinary course of procedures was al- most instantaneous. The hum of voices in the rear ftrew to almost a chatter. Even the harher was ohliged to cou h and sinitter a hit. “They think I'm ipiite a chap for my afie, Jimmy proudly thouji'ht to himself. Hut the harher made little or no re- ]dy to Jimmy’s ipiestions.

At last the time came for Jimmy to jaiv his hill. “How much is it’.”’ asked Jinuny in an effort to assume a hnsiness-like air.

Yet the people who inhabit This topsy turvy sphere, Have got this old world beaten. When it comes to being q iieer. For instance, in the summertime. When July and August come. The foolish way in which they act. Would make old Life quite dumb. They leave their cosy cottages Within the city’s reach, To go into deserted wilds. And summer at the beach. All comforts of a happy home. They scorn with haughty eye, I And places near the realm of man Disdainfully pass by. They leave behind electric lights, j Their gas stove and their auto, ! “Less Comfort, More We Can Enjoy” I ’Twould seem to be their motto. I They’ll fight mosquitoes day and night, I They’ll sleep upon a bare, hard floor. In short — they’ll suffer agonies. To “summer” at the shore! Genrose R. Weaver, ’22. SOME LI’L SCHOOL (With apologies to Walt Mason and R. H. Smith.) The shortage of freedom in school makes us weep; the city of “We-dom” no longer will keep. The teachers a re storing our E’s on a chart, and we are imploring with aches in our heart. The afternoon sessions are wearing us out. and so many lessons develop a pout. When we write any themes they are usually punk, and whatever our schemes they’re considered as bunk. The grub in the lunch-room decreases each day; soon they’ll feed us with mushrooms, with curds and with whey. The memory-classes are many, we’ll say, and more members in masses are added each day. But, w'hy is it, mates, that this school is so great? Our principal states that w'e keep a good gait. As for sports we are there, always taking first place; our fellows are square when it comes to the race. So we’ll have to admit that it’s some li’l school, and we’d sure have a fit under some other rule. Powell, ’20, and Powell, ’22. 24 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION Bells of China lloii”!

I e- ing a league game, it meant mnch to the winner, so that each team played its very best. Seven men crossed the plate for Arlington, while Viano held tin' visitors to five inns. The home team le l all the way with a safe mar- gin, the team jdaying a tight game in the fiehl, and a cracking game on the ])late. Arlington was looking at this time like the chamjiion she was to he. Melrofic G, Arlinf ton 7 Melrose came, saw and was con (piered on Jnne 4. It was a weird game, however, with considerahle fnm- hling on both sides. Arlington start- ed off with errors, ami things looked hlack in the sixth, with the score G to J. Hut the hoys came through with a rally in that inning and tied the score. ’iano held the Melrose lads for the next two innings, while another run came over in the lucky seventh on .Mel- rose errors. A hard-fonght-for, hnt a loosely jdayed victory resnlteil. Arlinfiton 14, Wohiirii 4 Arlington High went into tirst jtlace in the league .series on Tuesday, Jnne S, when they gave Wohnrn Hgh a de- cisive heating hy a score of 14 to 4. Vohnrn was tied with Arlington for first place in the league and was lookeil on as a hard team to heat. Hnt Ar- lington settled down in the tirst inning, ohtaining runs in that inning sufficient to win the game. Vohnrn did not ] nt i]i any kind of a hattle, onr hoys hit- ting the hall too hard for the visitors to handle. Inrphy for Arlington, with Viano and ('roshy, hit the hall hard, while “Hargie couldn't he sur- passed at base running. Wohefichl 4, Arlinfilon 8 On the eleventh, we journeyed to Wakefield and played perhaps the most exciting game of the season. It was real hall, and the team surely deserved the (‘hami)lonshi]� after such an exhibi- tion. The hitting of a triumvirate, ('roshy, .Mnrjihy and Dnnciin, featured in hiinging home the bacon and Viano pitched his best game. Arlington started more slowly than the home team, and in the fourth woke nj� to find the score three to one against ns. Hnt snddeidy the score was tied — and then we went ahead, hit after hit, with Wakefield fielding well, until eight men had circled the diamond. This game 1 ractically assured ns the champion- shiji, and Waketield deserves commen- dation for the earnest ell'ort made to heat the Arlingtoiiians. 28 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION niiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiDiiiiiiiiiiitaiiiiiiiiiiiiDiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiltDiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiimiiiiDiiiiiiiiiiiiDiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiimiiiDiiiiiiiiiiiicn 1 g I EXCFIANOEIS | g = niiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiii iiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiimiiiiiiDiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiioiiiiiiimiiniiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiU III this, our last issue I'oi- tlu year, we achieve our d(‘sire of coiuiiieutiu”' at last ouce ill the year on every one of our exchaiif es. lii return, we have had many iiiterestiii”- and helid'ul criti- cisiiis of our iiajser, fo rail of which we are very jtrateful.

The Right Choice Once upon a time a fair lady named Princess Dean lived on Deacon Street, Poston. She was very beantifnl, and every day she went riding on her white palfrey with her favorite attendant. Lord Michael Flaherty. This princess had two suitors, Piince John Jones, and Lord Alec Cordon. Now the bean- lifnl ]� rincess rvas between two tires, foi- she did not know which snitor to accept. Oii(‘ day she was talking to the royal washerwoman, ladame Mnrj)hy, and .Mine. .Murphy told the princess that she was a witch in disguise. “Oh, how lovely, exclaimed the ]iriiicess, “yon can surely help me de- cide which man to many.'’ ‘‘ .VII right, agi-eed the Koyal Wash- erwoman, “yon may be hnmiliated some- what, Init I am sure yon will know which snitor to accept when I get throngh with yon.

It seemed ]ierfectly natural for her to be there selling gloves and it seemed as though she had been there many times before. Why, she even knew the names of the girls who were working with her! “Why, my dear Princess,'’ exclaimed a dee]) voice. The ])rincess looked n] and saw Lord .Vlec looking at her in concern.

When distant rolling hills Are veiled in verdure bright. A solemn silence fills The air with pure delight. The bursting nuts are falling In showers to the ground, And all the squirrels chattering Are scrambling all around. The golden rod and asters Are scattered here and there While flocking birds are masters Of the still and cloudless air. Yet these happy scenes depart When stirring winds have cast Each leaf and twig apait. And another year has passed. J. M. Campbell, 1921. GOOD-BYE, MR. CROSS I Good-bye, Mr. Cross!

Practice Avas immed- iately started. On Se]� teniber 21, our boys met the dVinchester team on the Winchester gridiron. Tender a torrid heat. Hardy led his men to victory over the wmik dVinchester eleven. “Hnckie” Power coiipdeted a forward jiass, while Hardy scored the remaining of the twenty- one points, ddb’nchester never threat- ened the Arlington goal. Foster, Thayer, the Sim]isons, and Slu|ahan played well for Arlington. The next game was staged at home, on Sejitember 2!), with South Poston's agri'gatioii the visitors. Although the Aveather Avas hot and tip tield dusty, the Arlington buys shoAved the neces- sary tight and soon starteil South Pos- ton on its backward gallop.

I .nt here we met a sipiad of sixty-five hoys and a- monji' them good jdayei's. Onr hoys rnshed Ihe oi)]ionents. Imt it was all in vain.

Ke loyal to yonr school. What does it } rotit yon to rnn down yonr own school? Even though yon may like some other one better, since yon have entered yonr present one, it is up to yon to stand by it. II. Look on yonr Avork as an oppor- tunity, for such it certainly is. Yon may not realize the value of education now, hut sometime yon will a]� i)reciate the chance which w’as given to yon. III. Endeavor to retain yonr health. Everyone knows that health is an asset. It is absolutely essential to keej) in good jdiysical condition in order to work well. IV. Tackle yonr work cheerfully. Since yon Iiave nmlertaken the task of ac(piiring an education, yon might as well set about it in a cheerful manner. When yon come to school, he ready to commence work immediately. Have yonr lessons prepared in advance. Failure to do this is the equivalent of sitting hack and letting the other per- son do yonr work. VI. He promjd. Don't come in late to classes. When yon are tardy, it is yonr loss; yon have lost something which the others have gained. 'II. Co-oiiorate with yonr teachers and classmates; work with them, not against Ihem. If yon work together, yon can accomi lish much. HII. Have some system for yonr work. Allow a certain time in which to do it. Follow this schedule as near- ly as possible, and yon will soon notice an improvement in yonr work. IX. Have some j.ride in what yon do. Von aie cai)ahle of loing just as good work as the next person. Why let him receive all the credit for ac- comjdishing what yon may ecpial or even snr])ass? A. L. W.VA(iE, '21.

We dei� end on onr advertisers to make nj) the ditference between what we receive from s d)Scnd]� tions and what we spend. It is very evident then that the Cl.vkion could not exist without the support of the advertisers. The companies and individuals who advertise in onr school ])a])er show' their interest and generosity by help- ing this activity. Is it not this tyj)e of person with wdioni everybody likes fi THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION to deal?

Ilazid entei'(‘d the freshman class this year and she was a memher of the NOWELL Freshman Cirls' Clee Clul) and of the hockey team. We realize that hy her untimely death, the school has suf- fered a great loss ami we extend to her parents and friends our sincere sym- pathy. THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION PrincipaFs Page Kveiy model'll liigli school has a inimher of activities in which the stu- dents ]� artici])ate iiartlv during scliool lionrs hut largely outside of the regu- lar sessions. Our scliool has its ath- letic teams for the hoys and for the girls, its glee clnhs, its mamhdin clnh, its orchestra for npjier classmen and one for the freshmen, its radio clnh, ami its school pajier, the (’lakion. Our experience leads ns to believe that many henetits to the jinjiils and to the school may he derived from these organizations. The memhers get a training that is very valnahle. Vho can deny the value of the physical ex- ercise taken during a season hy the hoys and girls on the athletic teams? Likewise those who helong to the musi- cal clnhs derive great good, jiartly in the form of technical training and partly in real iileasnre. Then, too, the individual learns the value of team jilay. The success of any school ac- tivity does not deiiend on any one or two jiersons hut on all of the memhers. Besides the individual training and the lesson of team play, the ])ii])ils in these clnhs i-eceive social training that is very heljdnl. Boys and gilds meet in an atmosphere entirely ditferent from that of the class room. Still another thing which those who helong to the clnhs gain is the jdeasnre of doing something worth while for the school, whether it he the jilaying of an ath- letic contest or furnishing ])art of the ]� rogram at an Assembly, or the juih- lishing of a school ]iaper. As the individual jinpils are heljied by taking part in various student ac- tivities so is the school greatly hene- tited. tVe tind that we have better school sj)irit. The school life, enriched by th(‘ contributions of each organiza- tion, becomes much more attractive and enjoyable to the students. Assem- blies at which the orchestras and the gle(‘ clnhs ]iarticij� ate become more in- teresting. 'We look forward to the dates on which the school pajier will lie issued. We enjoy the thrill of a well conteste l football game between oil]' team and that of one of our rivals. If sjiace jiermitted we could mention many examples to show how our school is benetited by these various activities. Vhile we have some very good or- ganizations we might increase the num- ber sometime in the future from the following list: English ('Inb, Science Club, .trathematics C lub, Foreign Lan- guage Clubs, I)raniati(“ Club, Debat- ing Club. A large number of clubs in the school make it jtossible for more ]� n]iils to take jtart in tlu'se activities. Nearly every jmjiil can then tind at least one club which aiijieals to his or her tastes and talents. The success of any of these .activities depends on the initiative of the pnjiils, on the snjiervisicMi of the teachers, and on the loyal snjijiort of the student body. We have all of these require- ments in onr school. Let ns continue the good work of the ] resent school organizations and let ns be ready to make the new clubs as they are formed as successful as those now existing. IIerjian (Iaaimons, Principal. IT E Ft Any DE PA RTKl E IV T The Little Red Beads It was a wann, ploasaiit in Fehniai-y, — and l aldng day. Little Maria was lad of that, hecanse it was sncli fun to watcdi tin l)akinj ’, wliicli was done in llie hi ’ outdoor oven in the triK Mexiean way. IJnt the bread was slow today, so soon the little f ii‘l left the yard in search of further ainnsenunit. Under the two bij ’ (Mica- lyptus trees, however, she sto]i]ied, to fill hei- apron with their knobby Ireas- ni'es. Then, sin slowly l)ej an to (diinb np “her hilT' as she called it. Ilow she liked to b( nji there, when the snn was not too hot, and fjaze over the valley, with its many ranches and oraiif e t roves. On one side, towered the inonntains in the distance, “I’aldy,'’ and the others in a lon i' ridf e, with snow-cajiped to])s that fiL toied in the snn. On the other side of the hill, lay a larj e city, and many towns, while far away, one conbl see, on clear days, the bine waters of the 1‘acitic. Foi- a time, the litth ”irl playe l with her aromatic marbles, then, siiddenly stop])ed with a cry of dis- may. Her jiretty red beads were f 'one I To be sure, they were not mnch, not lon : enough to weai’ around her neck, bnt then, hadn't she always adored them just the same'.'' She looked all over the grass for a ]� ossible go])her hole, and thonght of the time she had bonght the beads at the IMaza, with the money she had saved for a chicken tamale, and some cactus camly.

The girl ttirned away. Ah, over there, wasn't that a hole'? Quickly running forward, she saw, not only a i liole, bnt a wide, ga])ing crack, which j she had never noticed before, and which was caused, doubtless, by the j r( cent rains, foi- it was in the rainy I season. iMen as she gazed, it seemed to widen slightly, and the ground trembled a little under her feet.

If we conld start a home for animals or maybe — I have it! M'e will adoj)t a child.” The idea was nervously broached to !Mrs. Pennsworth after they had labor- iously sunk into the chairs, drawn for dinner. Mr. Pennsworth likeil food and his wife was no mean eater herself. So mntnally honnd in one resi)ect, he knew the psychological moment was at hand. “My dear, er, my dear.” “Yes, John.” “In, er, view of onr impending dan- ger we mnst take lrastic methods to do something.

Christmas in Turkey Slowly the rising snn ascended into the heavens, sending its scorching rays upon a beet of Uncle Sam's great war- shii)S which lay at anchor, guarding the entrance to the Dardanelles. The commander of the i)ort had been ordered to report to Constanti- nople. Lieutenant Johnson was then placed in charge. The fleet had been stationed in that vicinity for nearly a year. The crew of the Margret had grown dissatisfied and homesick as Christmas drew near. After their daily duties had been i er- formed, they nsnally had a hard time amusing themselves. Sometimes, when on leave, they would hire a Turk to take them along the Bosphorns Avhere the Snltan's i)al- ace was situated ; there they amused themselves by throwing large English pennies on the low veranda of the pal- ace to see if the Avomen from the harem wonld appear and pick the money nj). Bnt that had groAvn tiresome. The day before Christmas a i� art of the crcAv held a council, and decided that they AAmnld have a Christmas tree. A young ofticer named Hammond Avas ele cted to go to Symrna and bny a tree. Obtaining a fcAv honrs’ leave he in- quired at the market the price of a tree and found he did not have suffi- cient money. He then decided to con- tinue his Avalk. Soon, he found him- self in the country. Glancing to his right, on a little hill, he saAv to his sur- prise a group of cedar trees, groAving in a graveyard. TTprooting the one of his choice, he returned to toAvn and boarded the ship. The sailors Avere all delighted, prais- ing his selection. They S(� on AA'ere busy decorating the tree, thinking joyfully that they Avere at last going to have a regular American Christmas. They had just finished decorating the tree and had calhal the commander in to admire it Avhen suddenly gi’eat shouts and threats arose from the shore. Johnson at once rushed on deck and Avas confronted by a mob of angry Turks, armed Avith dangerous AA’eaj)- ons, uttering threatening shouts. John- son ste])iied forAvard demanding the reason for the commotion. In ansAA'er the leader of the mob ])ointed to the ('hristmas tree and explained in angry tones, “One of your creAV dug a cedar tree fi-om a gra ’e of a great Moham- medan ] riest. You must j)lant a neAV tree at once or Ave Avill raid the ship.” The commander apprehending the reason for the threats at once ordered the mob to disband, jiromising that a tree should be at once planted in its place. This seemed to satisfy the angry croAvd and they dispersed. Johnson ordered Hammond to rejxirt to him asking him for an exi)lanation. Hammond told his story; the creAV had considered having a Christmas tree, and he had been chosen to bny it. But not having enough money he had Avalked out into the country and see- ing the cedar trees, he at once con- cluded that they Avonld serve the i)ur- l ose. V2 THE ARI.INGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION ( 'oiiiinaiidei' doliiisoii at once ordered lain t(t replace tlic tree, riani his re- lui-ii tli( fellows crowded around him and asked him where he had received the money to hnv the tree, (ilanciiij ’ at the f( llows slyly he answered slowly ••Hy ex]ierience I found that Turks al- ways hnry their f reat men with gold coins on their eyes and the coins are woi-th tive dollars in American money.” Hefoie the dawn of another day the shiji had left that jtort -the j)riest had his (’hristma.s tree — hut llammoml had his money.

A Stranger One heantifnl s])ring morning when the birds were singing cheerily from the tree to[)s I ha]� iiened to he waiting for a friend of mine in front of Me- morial Hall” the well known dining place of the Harvard students. Vhile awaiting my friend’s arrival, 1 noticed a stranger juicing nj) and down the walk, evidently waiting for someone, too. He ajijieared (piite ner- vous, walking nj) as far as the hall door door and immediately turning and walking hack to the gate. He watched the many students who entered the hall with eager eyes. Each one gave him a hearty greeting as they j)assed him. Ajtjtarently he was in the hahit of waiting for his friend and had there- by made the acipiaintance of many stu- dents. I tinally determined to sjieak to him (since he and 1 were in the same j irdicament) hut he was evidently thinking deejily for he li«l not answer me. He made a very striking j)icture for he still wore a brown fnr coat (in sjiite of the fact that it was sjiring timei from which rose an immaculate white collar. He had a very finely shajied mouth and heantifnl teeth. His nose was the least attractive of his feature.s as it came to rather an ahrnjit jioint at the end. He had large, exju-essive brown eyes which set rather deej) in his head. T waited imj)atiently for my friend, while the stranger went over and sat on the stairs of the hall. 1 imagine he, too, was growing imjiatient. As twelve o'clock struck, he arose and walked toward tin gate. Oroujis of merry students came hurrying to the hall for their dinner. Among them was the jierson for whom 1 had been waiting so long. 1 wondered if the stranger was still waiting. On looking hack, 1 discovered that he had gone again to sit on the stairs. T pitied him, be- cause I knew how tiresome it was to linger around waiting for some one, who it seemed would never come. While 1 waited, a hare-head( d young lad came hurrying uj� the street and turned in the walk leading to the hall. Immediately, the stranger arose from the stairs and ran down to meet him, wagging his tail and jumjdng to his master's shoulders at the (juery, ‘AVell, Xero, are you hungry, too'?’’ 1 . lloL.MES, '21.

The iK'xt game was with the strong Norwood team at Norwood on Novem- ber 2(1. This was the hardest game of the season. Norwood scored in the first (|narter bnf faileil to kick the goal. After this, Arlington and Norwood see sawed baidv and forth on the grid- iron until the (dosing whistle blew. Ar- lington was again the victor by the small margin of 7-fi. The last game of the season was ]dayed Thanksgiving morning at lel- rose. This game was to plii.v off the tie for second ] lace in the Mystic Val- ley League. The teams played in the snow and mnd and because of this and the absence of Tobin, Arlington was nimble to score altho we threatened the iMelrosi goal three times. .Atelrose never threatened onr goal and gained on two first downs thronghont the game. The game ended in a (I — 0 tie. FIELD HOCKEY On October 22 Wdnthrop came to Ar- lington and defeated onr team althongh the Arlington girls ]mt np a scrajipy tight.

On Thursday, January 2(1, Mr. Ruf o, a resident of Arlington, and chief judge of the stories in the contest recently Indd by the Boston Trareler, sjioke to those in the school who had snhmitted stories in that cont(‘st. .Mr. Rngg gave a criticism of the stories he had i-e- C( ivc(l from .Vrlington, telling just w hy 1h( y w'ere good or w hy tlu v were not considered for jirizes.

If this survey showed a j� romisin : story, he then read it as a whole. The importance of a fjood heji’inning and a fi'ood endiiifi cannot he over empha- sized. And most important of all, write naturally. Do not try to he too llowery or too melo-dramatic, for the story that is told simjdy is much more elfective than onc(‘ which sounds affected or stilted.

Hood-by.” The doctor was too amazed to stir and for a time stood clinging to the receiver, wijdng cold beads of jierspira- tion from his brow. Something in that grutf voice had told the doctor that business was meant. I ut a (pieer some- thing within him stirred at the thought of adventure. Quickly collecting his thoughts, he made his way to his of- fice where he gathered his medical ne- cessities and sat down to wait. Presently he heard a light tap on his oflict' window. He arose and ojiened the front door where he was confronted by a masked man, craftily flourishing a revolver. A cold chill ruuuing uji and down his sjiine jdayed an acconijiani- ment for the doctor's thoughts. Sorry, sir, but 1 shall have to bliiid- f(dd you, ami the stranger e lged his way into the doctor's outer office. Here he produced a black silk haudkerchiid' and jiroceeded to blindfold the amazed and, by this tiim , much distressed loc- tor. No harm will come to you, sir, ]� ro- vidiug you keep your ‘yaj)' shut.” The doctor was then leil to a waiting limou- sine and driven away. When the cal' stojiped, the doctor was h'd to the sin-ond story of a house and there had the band remov( d from his eyes. He found himself in a small chamber in the ceiitiu' of which was a bed when a small semi-conscious boy lay writhing in ])aiii. No second word was needl'd to tell the doctor what he was to do ami he set to work to aid the small boy. As he worked, the doc- tor's mind was busy suggesting theo- ries whereby tin child might have been brought into that ]iredicament , but no jdausible one iu-( sented itself. One thing was certain, however, ami that was that the child was held in the house for no good jmrjiose. Vhile he worked, a maskiMl figure stood at the foot id' the bed and the doctoi- knew that it would la useless to (pK'stiou the child who, by this time, had regained coiisciousiH'ss. His task tiuishi'd, the doctor made it known that he was ready to leave.

Nine policemen accompanied him to the honse. lien they found the kidnapians jneiiaring to h“av( the city. N(‘x1 moi-ning, when the doctor lead his jiajier, he noted with satisfaction the brilliant account of the capture of the kidnaii]iers. As a reward for the great services render( d to the hanker, Di'.

Hartley tlionght of how he and Frank Stevens had acted as big brothers to file little ten year old Frt n li boy. Frank, who was always a favorite with yonng- slers, jiroved to be Emile's idol. It was with regret that the soldiers heard they must leave the village soon. Their coinjiany was to la sent back to the lines in a dilferent sector within the week. The jilace held jileasant memories for many soldiers, and Emile was not the only villager who disliked to see the de]� artnre of the American friends. Only rarely had Fritz made night visits to droj) “hardware and these raids had done bnt little damage. Heorge Hartley rememb( red how, on that last night, he had wakened to the warning sound of whistles and bells. Another air raid! He grojied his way down to the cellar with Emile and his mother. “Where is !Monsi( nr Frank? Emile almost screamed when he saw Hartley alone, 'hen the three friends, huddled together in that cold, dainji cellar, re- niendtered that Fraidv had been calh d to headeinarters on sjeecial duty that evening, a desolate feeling of dread al- most jearalyzed them. If he were on his way back to the cottage, he might be unable to find shelter. They heard one bond) ex])lode, — and another, — an- other.

Poor litth Emile! His two big brothers were gone. The sight of his manly ef- foi ts to check the tears made the eyes of more than one hai-dened veteran blink and r( dden.

She soon fonnd out lier mist:die, and in tin four years since slie had andved, at twenty, a greeidiorn, slie had leanied many a lesson in com- mon .sense. Her idea of romance was of being the cynosure everywhere — the kind that fonnd existence in the light novels in which the heroine, usually a girl in circumstances similar to hers, hy some Incky chance, falls in among the “social lions” of a large city. Therefore, she was not anticijiating the i-eturn to the office. She knew tluu'i was to he a change in the force — several new clerks were coming, and most es]tecially a new managei- who, rumor had it, Avas very strict.

Suddenly one of the hoys saw the froth- ing monster rushing down njmn them. These great Hudson Kiver boats, de- sjiite their nnnsnal size, are broad of beam, and flat of bottom, drawing only about nine feet of water, when un- loaded. We conld see that the hoys had stopjied swimming and were resting. Onr little minds, dwarfed by the dan- ger, were incapable of comprehending’ what they were jilanning.

A cry of horror hurst from onr lijis! Until the boat was within fifty feet, neither hoys made the slightest movement. Then both hoys dove, tlie dark hull of the boat j)assing directly over the spot where the Imys h ad been. Although still going at a tremendous clij), it seemed an age to us before the vessel slii)ped ov( r the sjiot where the hoys had disap- 1 (eared. At last in the foaming wake we saw two black dots ladddng. Could the hoys he alive? Had they been killed? Ah ! slowly they were moving toward the flats. In sjdte of the unusual in- terrujdiou, they had determined to fin- ish what they had started out to do. Cheer after cheer rang from our boy- ish throats as we understood their in- tention.

A WIXTHK HIKE It was a cold, windy day in .lann- ary. The ground was covered with two feet of snow and excejit for an oc- casional sipiirrel or two, not a living creature con Id we see. As we started out on snowshoes and with knajtsacks slung over our shoulders we all felt that a storm was coming. The air was cold and raw and the dark gray sky hung low and heavy, even threateningly. Knt w(‘ were determined to start, so we .‘■et olf with merry laughter and much calling hack and forth. On one day we were planning to hike to Peterson's and hack, a distance of twelve miles. It would have keen an easy task, if the wind had not been against ns. For the first two miles every one wis gay and we were getting along nicely, hut the wind was growing stronger. We were facing directly north and a cohl north wind is not easy to face for six miles. We decided to stojt and warm nj) a hit. So when we came to a clnmj of ])ines, about half a mile further on, we all came to a halt. By breaking olf the lower dead limbs of the jiines we were able to ob- tain enough wood to start a brisk liie. M’hile we removial our snowshoes to rest our feet, the daylight seemed to vanish and a twilight settled over ns. We hnrrieilly jmt out the fire and strajiped on our snowshoes. We all knew that a storm was coming and we decided to keep as close together as possible. There were nine in the ] arty and by walking three abreast we were ipiite a com]� act little crowd. In this formation we started out again. The wind was howling in the trees and the tine snow on the to]) of the crust was blowing about. Oftmi the wind nearly blew ns off our feet. When the snow began to fall we were almost blinded by it. M'e were walking very slowly now, as we lidn't want to lose the trail and thus be forced to rmnain out all night in the storm. It was cold, bitter cold, and eacli whirl of snow and wind left ns breathless, and shivering. Tonld we keej) on in the face of such a storm? It seemed fool- ish and yet we were almost threeipiar- t(‘rs of the way there. By i-esting every few minutes and turning our ba(d s to the wind whib we got onr br( ath, we cre])t slowly on. The last few miles were traveled in silenci exce])t for the shrieking of the wind. Tt was an (dfort to try to talk against such a force and we needed all our breath. Finally we came to a stone wall and going along ])arallel to this we came to a gateway. As we went through the gati every one gave a sigh of relief. The ])ath from the gate to the house was sheltered from the storm by tall tir trees. Tt was a welcome shelter and we all began to talk. We were uncertain whose house we had 14 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION (•OHIO to, llioroforo wo dooidod to send two of tlio ]� ai'ty alioad to Ihid ont.

V. lloi.MES, PrincipaFs Column I’y the time this issue of the Clarion is in yonr hands, we shall have i)er- I'eeted and ]� nt into practice in this school a plan for recognizing and dis- tingnishing high schorlarship, ]iro])er attitnde toward school work, and pnne- tnality. Ye believe that the school has not given enongh emphasis and jmhlic- ity to its ajiproval of those jenpils who raidv high in scholaisliij), and show ex- cellent scho(d spirit and have good habits. For years the school has re- cognized and honored the members of its athletic teams who have shown ]tro- liciency in sjiorts by pnblicly awarding the school letter to them and even some- times by banqueting them. Ye a] - prove heartily of this jiractice and we want the stndent body to feel that it is an honor for the boys and girls to make” the teams and to win their let- teis. Ye also want yon tt) feel that yon can win honors in the school room. It is trm that some pupils are able to achi(‘ve notable success in oidy one or the other of these lields, but it is also true that many can attain a high ])osi- tion in both. In the colh'ges many of tin best athletes are honor ]inj)ils. I r(‘m( mber that not long ago several of tin b( st ])layerson the Ilai-vard football team were in the honor groups, and at least one of these men was in the high- est honor gi'onj). ( bir i)lan, stated in a general way, is this. At the end of each mark- ing jteriod a list of ])nitils who have received a maik of A in each snbject which they are carrying will be made. These will be the highest honor pupils. A second list of pnj)ils who have re- ceived a mark of A in at least half of their subjects and a mark of P in the rc'inaining subjects will be made. These will be called the second honor ]� nj)ils. lloth lists will be read at an assend)ly and will be ])rinted in the CLAKIOX and in the local newspaj)ers. Pupils who have shown lack of j)roper school spirit or who have shown that they have ])oor habits, as for instance nn- necessary tardiness, will jiot be placed on the lists. Ye realize that the standard for at- taining highest honors is very high. ronse(piently it will really be a great honor for any ])npil to be placed on the tirst list. It will indicate excei)tional achi(‘vement in scholarship, which can ]� robably only be attained by com- I'aratively few. Ye also thiidv that the standard for the second list is high enongh to make it a real honor for those who succeed in being selected for it, and yet it is ](ossible for a large nnm- b( r of the ]� npils to attain it. We hope that, as time goes on, the nnmber of jmpils who succeed in winning either tirst or second honors will steadily in- crease. IIeKM.VX (bWIMOXS, Principal.

THE IN NEWS Brief THE BRIGHT SPOT IN A BRIGHT PAPER OME PAOC 'AS' WE SEE IT ONE PAGE HfiM Till-: SEXIOK '•SOSm L” The greatest event in fhe history of llie school has come and ;()ne. We mean, in short, the social of the class of 'lM. The first act was a jday en- titled ••The Man from Hrandon, ]ire- sented entirely hy the senior hoys. The ‘•lovely ladies” in the i� lay caused some of tlie helles of the school to look to their lanrels. ' dlen the man fi'om I’randon had tinally been recojfiiized lliere was a short intermission dnrinj ’ which an orchestra jilayed. Tlien the enrtain arose on the Wand( rinji' .Min- strels,” who jiroceeded to wander in a very cieditahle manner, thronfili nn- imnons son.t’s and jokes. AVhen tlie ]� er- forniance had drawn to a close, ice cream and cake were served in the lunch room. Finally everyone went down to the gym, which was jirettily decorated with orange and black, and tin 'll.”. Iianner injiside downi, and either particijiated in oi- watched the (lancing. At last, the hour drew near to eleven-thirty and as the orchestra played “Home Sweet Home,” everyone departed from the b( st social in tin history of the school. THE PlLHlini PAHFAXT A jiageant in celebration of tlie Pil- grim tercentenary was given Wednes- day afternoon and evening, December 2d, 1!)20, nnder tbe direction of Mrs. Motfatt, one of the high school facnlty, and by the students of the school. It was an entirely snccessfni performance, somewhat symbolic in meaning. The first act was a characterization of Pilgrim life and its ennneclion with tin Indians. It emjihasized the tri- nmph of Religion and Education over Discontent. The second act portrayed the conditions in a sonthern family, in which brother fought against brother during the ('ivil War, where the Spirit of .Jnstice coinpiered brotherly hatred. The last act rei� resented the allied na- tions taking the ]iart of Liberty and strnggling against P.lood and Var. The concinsion demonstrated the vic- tory from 1()20 to l!)2d of Religion, .Instice ami Liberty. These four aji- j:( ar( d in the foreground of the stage in ap]iro]iriate jiositions while tin Star Spangl( d P.anner was snug by all in-esent. This ]iag( ant was gi-eatly a]� ] reciated by all who saw it and the school owes much to tin jirogressive sjiirit of Mrs. Motfatt and her imjiils. .MISS STrRTEVAXT LEAVES HV .S' Married in Maine On .Tannaiw •“), Miss Stnrtevant, for- merly an English teacher in A.

Factory, Summer Street, Arlington j BETTEIJ II EALTII — P.ETTKK STUDY Not long ago a proiiiiiioiit member of tlie Arlington Woman's Clnb who was present at an assembly of the school re- marked that the i)ostnre of the stud- ents was amazing. A glance aronnd the hall ]� roved that her statement was trne. The stndent who sat correctly was the excei)tion, and flat chests and I'onnded shonlders wei-e the rule. This is a serious condition for, besides being a detriment to one’s general health, bad i� ostnre is often the cause of ser- ious physical tronbles. Hnt there is one way in which thi s condition may be corrected and that is thru compul- sory jdiysical training in the schools. At i� resent the Arlington High .“'chool has no physical training exceid that which is sni)j)orted by the pni)ils thru the Athletic Association. This means that only those who take i)art in the organized sports such as football, hockey, basketball, and basel)all, re- ceive any ])hysical training. These sjtorts are good as far as they go, bnt only a small ])ercentage of the seven hnndred or more ]m])ils in the school take part in them ; those who need the exercise most are nsnally not ])hysi- cally qualified to take part in com])eti- tive games and do not, therefore, re- ceive any training. There is in the school a line gymnasinm and an nnfln- ished swimming tank which, it seems to ns, should l� e made a center of activ- ity in the school. If the swimming tank were comjileted, some necessary ap])arafns installed in the “gym,” and a comjietent instructor secured, the re- sult would donbtless be better healtli which always means better studying and a more wide-awake attitude. A really intensive jdiysical training course will also provide a clean, health- ful and enjoyable diversion which would lielj) create a desire for good, wlndesome amusement. Tims, in order to jtromote a clean, healthy activity in the school and im- jirove the jihysical condition of the jinjiils, which at jn-esent is sutfering from lack of pro])er training, we heart- ily recommend and urge an intensive jdiysical training course in the Arling- ton High Bchool.

Principal’ In an assembly I recently spoke to yon of the excellence of the perfor- mance of the operetta “The Lost Neck- lace which was given by onr (lirls’ (lied ('lull before a large and very ap- jn-eciative audience. T said that it was an example of the standard of attain- ment that 1 wished we might always reach in whatever we attemjit to do in Arlington High School, whether it be something to be done outside of the regular classroom Avork, such as the ojieretta, and the rilgrim Pageant, and the Latin Play, or something to be ac- comjilished as a jiart of the regnlai- school routine. That AA’e have a high standard of ac- com|dishment in many Avays is evi- denced by the fact that many visitors Avho liaA'e heard about ns come to see onr school and to see ns at Avork. That Ave have not reached this high standard in some resjiects av( all must admit if Ave give ourselves an honest and thor- ongli analysis. Tn such matters as the daily recitations, the use of study ] er- iods, the conduct during jiassing per- iods, before and after school, and dur- s Column ing recess, ]mnctuality in getting to school and to classes, the neat apjiear- ance of all j'arts of the building and the grounds, — in all of these mattei-s and many more Ave have not reached a standard of accomplishment ecpial to that of the recent ])erformance of the Hiids' (ilee Club. We do Avell in most of these things but ought aac to be sat- isfied Avith aiiAdhing else than doing our best' Can Ave attain such a high standard in everything that AA'e do in our school' 1 believe Ave can. ’hat are some of the princi])al reasons foi‘ the excellence of the i)erformance of either one of the three enteidainments that T have men- tioned al)ove' They are, 1 think, Avill- ingness to Avork hard, entoyment in the Avork, co-o]ieration, jtride in doing one's best, a desire to do soTiiething for the school (school spirit), skillful guid- ance in the Avork. If aat have all of these factors in Avhatever Ave atteni]it to do Ave can make our school attain in every respect that high standard Avhich in some things has already been at- tained. THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION I LITERARY DE RA.RTM E T The Heart of a Rose Firni Prize - “T o.sa — oli la rosa ! Eef I could Imt loucli you! You an so vaiy precty !” All, could the passing world have fathomed the yearuiiig teudeniess in that pitiful little cry! But the self ah- sorhed New Yorkers passed up and down Biverside Drive uuheedful of the motionless little Spanish maid staml- iiig ill the shadow of the massive gate- way of the Chesterton estate. Evening was falling fast. Bosita larianua, however, was oblivious of the apjiroachiug dusk. Leaning against the gate, her forehead jiressi'd to the cool metal, and an iron jialiiig tightly grasped in each small hand she stood gazdng into the magniticent Chesterton ro.se garden. It was June and the flowers in full liloom made a beaut ifnl sight indeed ; yet a careful observer would have noted that she was not gaz- ing at the garden as a whole, lint that her entire attention was drawn to a large, red rose, the only hlossom on a small hush which grew just beyond her reach. “Beanteefnl rosa, heanteefnl rosa !” she exclaimed softly, while in her eyes slnaie a far away light. The rose was indeed heantifnl and (‘t a strange melancholy distingnished it from the idhers even more than did its loveliness. Of all that hrilliant Ten Dollars host, it alone seemed sad and sonow- I'ni, hanging its head as if in desi.air. 'The velvety petals, bright red at their ti]� s, gradually shaded deeper nmil the heart of the rose was a rich blood red. Was it imagination that caused the lit- tle girl to believe the rose’s ln ail was bleeding? Yho can tell? Do yon doubt that a flower lias a soul? Does not the world acknowieilge the hiighi face of the pansy and the shym ss of tlie violet? dly, th( n, shonM a rose not have a bleeding heart? Yhatever the cause might he, Bosita aria mm d .'l most firmly believe ‘his strange fan- tasy. She told herself that some great soi i-ow had caused the grie ‘ of tin love- ly ros( . that it was lilce a person win se life had once been full of hope and love, hut who.se future was hojieless and des- olate. Suddenly two bright tears trickled down her cheeks and in a trem- nlous voice she murmured, “Eets heart eet hurt so vary much. Eets heart is like to my heart.” The child spoke truly. All tlie joy of her young life was gone, her future like that of the rose was void of ho]ie and tenderness. Bosita Marianna was fourteen. She was small of stature and her cnrly brown hair clustered about her little face, which reminded one of an Angelo Madonna so jierfect 8 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION LEANING AGAINST THE GATE, HER FOREHEAD PRESSED TO THE COOL METAL AND AN IRON PALING TIGHTLY GRASPED IN EACH SMALL HAND, SHE STOOD GAZING INTO THE MAGNIFICENT CHESTERTON ROSE GARDEN.

A year ago one bright summer morn- ing, Ihjsita had stood on the lower deck of a trans-Atlantic steamer, her small hand tucked contidingly in that of her father, Jose D'Alvedores. The steamer was just entering the harbor and the two voyagers gazed wdth wonder ni)on a scene so new and strange. The loftj' skyscrapers, the smoke and noise, all were very different from the qniet Spanish village nestling in the snow- cap])ed I'yrrenes. In spite of the great contrast, however, as the sliii) was dropping anchor llosita had jteeped in the covered basket she was tenderly carrying and whisjtered in her broken Kngiish, “Hlanca, eef you could see so strange a contry. Oh, we weel he vary 'ajtjty alway — alway.” “Hlanca,” what joy was in that name for the child I The large, white dove with its bright, heady eyes and snowy plumage was her dearest possession. Her father and Blanca — they were her life and her happiness. Jose, after a long diligent search, linally found a j)oor, hare room at the top of a dila]tidated tenement behind Hiverside Drive. Hardworking and in- dustrious, he tried to keei) his family and little hoard of money together. Summer faded into fall, and fall be- came winter — a cruel winter with deep snows and icy blasts. Often mis- ery, cold and the snow drifting in through the chinks and cracks in the wall haunted the sj)irits of the ])oor |teo])le. Finally Jose became ill fr(� m overwork and the unaccustomed clim- ate. Within a few days his daughter was left to cry her sorrows into the soft feathers of the dove. “Oh Hlanca, Papa he leave us togezer — alone,” she had moaned, an agony of sobs convuls- ing her whole frame. Never again did Hosita's men-y laugh i-ing in that old tenement. Her eyes became melan- choly and her only comforter was Hlanca. Directly after Jose’s death an old Italian woman gave Hosita shelter in her miseiahle home and she was sent to work. All day she toiled in the fonl air and dim lights (d' an artificial tlower fact � ry. Fvery evening when fatigiK'd and sorrow-worn t(� almost the end of human endurance, she had dragged herself uj) the three tlights of lilt by stairs, her sad eyes would brighten when her little ]iet Hew to her shonlder and she would lavish upon it those (piaint endearments known only to Spaniards. Thus time dragged until June came. One balmy summer day as Hosita o])en- cd the rickety door Hlanca did not meet her. Jlat could have hai)pened? She called loudly in a terror-stricken voice, “Hlanca, wlnu'e — oh where ees eet yon are? All h(‘r calling was in vain. She glanc(‘(l wildly around the room. Sud- (hudy her eyes fell u])on a heap of tleb- ris in one corner where the crumbling ceiling had fallen. In the midst of the ruins lay a litth whiti body. With a cry she s])rang forward and crushed the lifeless form to her heart. Then sinking to the floor she swayed hack and forth sobbing in her frenzied grief that beautiful song dear to all Sjian- iards, La Paloma.’ Fanndo sah de la llahana alganu I lies, Na li(‘ me ha visto salir, si no fui you — The words became unintelligible and she we])t softly to herself.

The next morning Kosita .Marianna arose as one in a tlrc'ani. Could this eohl, nnteeling jdace he the hright world she liad known? reelianieally siie got throngli the day's work and walking home at lnsk she ehaneed njjon the Chestei-ton i-ose garden and the ro.se with the bleeding heart. Tlnne, as the evening shadows deejiened. she gazed n])on the heart-broken rose, feel- ing the bond of syni]� athy that lay be- tween them. Sndtlenly a wild desire seized her. If she oonhl hnt have the dear flower to pnt on Illanea's grav( I Snrely it would he ha]� i(y again, near to that [)eacefn] little sonl. Her brain seemed on tire and she pressed her forehead closer to the void iron. Then, gathering all her courage, she placed her hand upon the lock of the gate, and, unseen by tlie many passers, she sli] t through the gate and with heating- heart climbed the stone steps of the mansion. Young ('nthhert Chesterton was a man of high ideals and strong alh'c- tions. .Vhove all he had lov( d his motlier ami after she was gone his ])as- si(� nate love still lingered in those things dearest to her. So it was that t'nthhei-t loved the heantifnl rose gar- den that had been his mothei-'s ])iide and hajipiness. Soon after her dc ath he had married a itretty society girl and liad brought her to the home of his boyhood. Virginia Chesterton, reared in sjdendor and having few of the sterling ■irtnes of her hnshand, de- manded that the rose garden be n] - rooted and a landsca]ie idot be substi- tuted. Tier hnsbaml naturally refused to carry ont her command and so it was that on this Jnne evening they were heatedly discussing the ipiestion. The soft lights of the drawing room shed their glow over the siilendid fea- tures of yonng ('hesterton who sat facing with knitted brows, his pouting little wife. ‘• 'irginia, 1 will have no more nonsense, he declared, “that gar- den is not to he touched. My mother loved it ]iassionat(dy and it is the only thing that is left to remind me of her. What, that glorious profusion of blos- soms to be uprooted? Never — never — never ! .Vt this ])oint, when his indignation was high, Ttosita entered. She was trembling ])erce]itibly and Cuthbei’t, seeing her agitation walked over to her and said kindly “Sit down, my child, and tell me what 1 can do for you.'’ Itosita felt very uncomfortable. Her head was vei-y hot and her heart pound- ed dreadfully, yet gathering her re- maining coui'age together, she said in a ]� itifnl, ])lea ling voice, “Senor, eef I could have la rosa of the lnirt heart for r.lanca who die, you would be vary kind.” “T ear child,’' said Cuthbert. very mnch ])eride.xe l, “1 am afraid I do not nnderstand.” Then Kosita with constantly grow- ing elfort told her simple, eloquent st(try, of her father, of I’danca, and of the rose with the bleeding heart. Sud- denly her voice failed her and she sank to the door. ♦ .Medical assistance ])roved fruitless. Nothing could revive the tired little body nor hold the sonl of Kosita IMari- anna, which had gone to join Pa])a and Klanca. Kosita IMarianna’s little body was laid to rest in a nearby chui-chyard : the rose of the bleeding heart held in one small hand and a smile of peace, THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 11 sucli as slia woiT when lih.' v'as full .� f j;ieat jiute Kosita’s rose of tlie bleed- lio])e anil love on her face. ing heart.

Seated as he was he could not help noticing, now that his mind was off hnsiness matters, a small, cni-ionsly carved image on the mantle just above the tire-j)lace. “Queer thing yon have up there,” he remarked, looking at his host (jnizzically. Morse looked at it, laughed, and tak- ing it down, handed it to Pmmons, who examined it without comment. It was a small image of Pnddha, finely and carefully carved out of some dark green substance, ]� rohaldy jade. Evidently it was of Oiaental workman- shi]i and very valuable. “Yim wouldn't take me for a veiw sn]� erstitions man, said -Moi’se sudden- ly.

This was a new, and hitherto unknown side of the man. “-V conjile of years ago, began Morse again, “T stumbled over the body of a Chinaman down Chinatown way.

It was a steady drizzle out, the street liglits slioiie dimly and dis- torted, and the car could only travel slowly. He was not in a pleasant mood, for his attempt to induce Morse to combine witli him and buy the Jer- sey instead of the New York site had faile l. The only consolation was that Morse, too, conld not have his way. So for a time he smoked com])lacently.

Jim 'I'li'n'd Prize — Stev( n and -lim sat side by side in front of the little French hovel that had been their barracks for the ])ast thi'ee months.

He wanted to see Steven bnt at the same time he fairly hated himself for wish- ing it, becan.se he realised that if Steven did return to the village, it would be as a woumb d siddier and dim couldn't bear that thought. dim's duty was to search for tin IG THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION wounded after tlie battles and brinj food and comfort to them until the and)nlances could carry them hack to (he liosjjital. In spite of the heroic at- titude dim had taken, the old loiifiiu”' still lurked in the bottom of his heart. One day, as he was about to return to the hospital, he heard a moan and then a weak ciw for help. He stood still — conld that he Steven's voice? — his lieart heat fast, he was overcome by a feeliiif ’ of joy and fear combined. A second aj)- peal stirred him to action, and he ran swiftly in the direction from which the cry came. His search took him to a soldier who had evidently pnt his last breath into that ajtpeal for hel]� , for he lay rigid on the ground. A strange feeling came over dim wlien he realized that it wasn't his buddy. It was a feel- ing of joy, that crowded all disapi)oint- ment from his heaiT, mixed with a feel- ing of sorrow and jiity for this unfor- tnnate comrade. He retnrne l to the hos]� ital, harboring a more terrible dread of war. dim had been wounded in the leg by a stray bnllet from a Herman machine gnn and had, consequently, been off dnty for three weeks. However, after the great battle of Chatean-Thierry, tbe need of the Ked ('ross was so great that he was called for dnty before he ha l really r(‘gained his strength, dim did- n't comjdain — that Vasn’t his nature. It was raining steadily when the relief ]� arty staiTed ont, but that was only an added reason why they should go on to jterform their duty, dim was forced to linqt slightly, but he trudged brave- ly on. He knew his kit was watei-- jn-oof and tiiat there were many who, at that moment, would have welcomed tlie relief that his kit would bring. r.y the time they had reached the neai'est trenches, the steady torrent had turned into a blinding thunder storm. The i-elief party was forced to seek protection, such as it was, in the trenches, dim's heart was fairly leaj - ing — lie couldn't tell why, neither conld lie control it. He felt ipieer all over; then suddenly he realized that Steven needed him. The thought had come to him; lie didn't know how or why ; but somehow he seemed to know it for a fact. H'e was beside himself with fear. Would he be too late? He could remain there no longer, he ninst get away. He left the party unnoticed and climbed over the top of the trench. He didn't know which way to turn; then, for some nnknown reason, he jiinnged straight ahead. The storm had abated somewhat, but it was still raining heavily. It was hard strug- gling in the deeji mud and once, as he stojiped to regain his breath. He felt himself sinking — sinking. Instinct- ively he jumped back; he had come to a ])ool of quicksand. Had Steven been drowned in it? 'hy was he going in this direction instead of some other? He couldn't tell excejit that there was something inside of him urging him on, and he had to obey the imimkse. He ran along to the left until he was sure he was clear of the jiool and then he went forwai'd once more. He stopjied, frantically looking about. Was it only a wild imjmlse — a dream? Didn't Steven really need him, wasn't he go- ing to see him after all? Jim's heart and hoj)es sank, bnt he went forward once more. His leg hurt him dread- fully and he was almost exhausted from the storm, but he couldn't give up now. Hi looked ahea l, a barbed-wire entanglement confronted him. His heart sank again. As he drew nearer, he saw that one ])lace in the entanglement looked THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 17 weaker than tlie rest, as if some one had ent wires here and there in an en- deavor to } et tlirn. Yes, and what was that huddled up mass wedged under that great entanglement? It was a mass of khaki. It was a soldier. It must he Steven. Jim lost no time thinking what was best to do. lie jii.st ei-awled and wormed his way as best he eonld. The strain was terrible; tlie strife of emotions in his breast, the ]� ain in his leg, the distance that lay between him ami that still khaki form. At last he reached the soldier's side. Oh the joy, the di-ead, the fear. It rres‘ Steven, hnt he had been sliot in the shonlder and had lost conscious- ness. Jim knew he most get him ont of the entanglement, hnt how? He tugged and pulled, but succeeded in moving him only a few inches. The task was commanding all of his strength, hnt he stuck to it. It was a. long time afterwards, ages it .seemed to Jim, when he tinally dragged his harden from the clntches of the en- tanglement. lie was weak and ex- hausted and he sank heavily at his buddy's side. Oh, if Steven would oidy o]ten his eyes and re cognize him ! Then, as if in direct res])onse to his wishes, Stev- en's eyes did ojien, and as a smile of recognition ])assed over his face; “Jim, he cried, and weakly tried to pat the shaggy head whose tongne was already lapjdng his outstretched hand.

Someone called Amherst this. It may have been a j)rophecy of early days. At any rate, it is a fact. The sage spoke well, for Amherst has attracted two colleges that have helped to maintain that edu- cational reputation of lassachnsetts. Our state college, — the Massachu- setts Agricultural College, or Mass. Ag- gie as it is colloquially called, — lies about one mile north of the village along the line of the ambling Tooner- ville Trolley ; while Amherst College cani])ns lies at the south end of the vil- lage gi'een. I eo])le often confuse the names and c(� nrses of these two col- leges. There is, however, no connection other than a wholesome student rivalry, and a cordial spirit of co-operati(� n. This college town is ideal because its (piiet life affords hut few detractions from the work at hand. Vet its con venience to centers of ])0])nlation like Ppringtield, Northampton, and Holyoke offers ready access to the facilities of the city. The college ixmd is the central fea- ture of the heantiful M. A. C. campus of six hundred acres stretching on both sides of the main highway and trolley tracks. Across this little body of water, the soi)homores and freshmen hold their animal tussle for suiiremacy and one side or the other gets a ducking. IS THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION Xearly hi(l(l( n by tlie elms that line the eaininis roadway, the huihlin s on the west side of the canijms jteej) out here and there to show their reilness ajjainst the j reenei-y of the natural and artis- tic landsca])e. The main hij hway in reality is the “hack alley” of the east side of the cam])us for only the rear of these hnildinos show alonji’ it. Another cani])ns roadway beyond serves their main entrances. Here in a wholesome democratic at- mosphere students learn af ricnltnre in its various jdiases. “Hayseeds’’ may have been once a])i� licahle to students of a iriculture ; it is a misnomer today. True, fiirming, or what is more a]dly calh'd the ])roduction side of ati,ricul- ture, is of jiaramonnt imjtortance, it is no longer a “hayseed's” job; it is a sci( ntist's. Agriculture, too, jjjoes far h(‘yond this into the study not only of the ju'odnction of food, hnt also the whole tield of food snjiply, emhracin ; marketing', trans])ortation, preserva- tion, mannfactnrinj;', scientitic research and ]tuhlic service. It is a hi - vocation callinj ' for men and women of every talent to into both city and conntry life to tackle these ])rohlems. The hanks, the railroad companies, the com- mission houses, the nulls, and many more need tlntse who are aj;ricnltnrally ti-ained to handle their farmers' ci-edit, the ti-ansp � rtation of jterishahle food stntfs, the sellin ' of foods to advan- tafie, the mannfactnre of food jirodncts. It is an ahsorhiiifi' vocation, hut i r. A. ('. students do not neglect other things that go to make n]i well round- ed men and women. They have their student activities in athletics and non- athhdics. Their intercollegiate varsity teams in football, hockey, hasketl� all, baseball, and track stand well in the C(� llegiate cii-cles. The high calibre of sportsmanship has fieqnently been a matter of news comment. The whole student lif e is of this same high (pial ity. Student goveimment promotes a high standard of individual res])onsihility, and (“xaminations are conducted under the honor system which is ailminist(‘r- ed by the students themselves. It's a “Hfowdy to you” the minute you set foot on the cani]� us. Democi-acy is the corner stone of their loyalty f(� r that State institution which gives them their fr(‘e college education. .71.MM1E KNOWS THE PKOPER ..

SELF rrLTlVATlON IN LAZINESS Laziness is an art. A gi'eat many pjeople think they are lazy. lore })eo] le think others are lazy. Hut, were yon to study them, you would find that they do more work trying to avoid doing something than would he necessary to complete the task in hand. True laziness is develojied to make things easiei-, to save yourself, and to let yourself enjoy each day more, be- cause something new has come to you oi- been done for you. In the ne.xt few liiu's I shall try to tell you how 1 en- joy life. The greatest hughear in a student's life is home lessons, lie hates to sit down and wade through two hours dry work. And no wonder! The aver- age student do( s not know how to take car(‘ of his home lessons. AVho evei‘ heard of a lazy man study- ing two Inturs? That is why it ])ays to he lazy. Alwaj's try to ligure out the lessons that you can do without, and study the others. Kut, do not make the mistake of not looking ahead to .see the results. For instance, I think that this home lesson is a lot of bother and noth- ing will ha]� j)(‘n to me if T don't have it tomorrow. Then 1 look at the other side: I have not passed a theme in on time this year. Kut I notice that they are always done in the end. There- fore, why not write it in the tirst jdace, get a higher mark, and ])rohahly es- ca])e an afternoon session? This line of ]-easoning is very sini])le, no etfoi-t at all, and very satisfactory. Su])p(tse I have six home lessons to do. T have decided to do the English. Algebra is written work, so the same api)lies to that. I am ] retty good at sight translation in French and Span- ish, so these are eliminated. 1 can ask a lot of (piestions in t’liemistry and li-. .Mountfoi-t will think 1 have put a lot of thought on the lesson and I was called on yesterday in Latin, so I won't THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 21 liave to prepare that for another day. There are four of the six home lessons taken care of hv simply sitting in a chair and counting them oil one l y one. Simple, isn’t if That is called Klim- ination System. There is also the Alibi System. In this yon do no home lessons, hut lie awake thinking nj) excuses and ] eifect them while running to school in the morning. If yon are a freshman, these alibis may work; the teachers don't known yon. When yon are a sojdio- more yon have become so jn-oticient in lying that yon usually get away with it. Hut, by the time yon are a junior the teachers know yon. They let this he known by their looks and tones while the excuse is ladng accej)ted or rejected. Ifow often have 1 received a fall from some teacher’s icy stares! Thisi method is not as practical as the other one, hut it comes in handy once in a while. T’pon entering a classroom try dro]i- ping into your seat and staying the way yon land. ’S’ery often yon will tind that yon are in such a comfortable position, that yon can remain that way half the i)eriod. Ivememher the ])osi- tion and in a short time yon will have a few stock jiositions that are very comfortable. Do not he afraid to go to sleep. Hells have been furnished to let yon know when the ] eriod is over. If these are not loud enough to wake yon, ask your neighbor to do it or else have the janitor jnit in a gong. Once in a while carefully ])iepaie yoiir lesson and take the same attitude yon do when aslee]). Keej) one eye on the book and when a pupil is “stnck,” I� rom]� t him in a loud voice without moving. Then volunteer and give a brilliant recitation | if ])Ossible j . This gives the teacher the im])ression that yon are awake all the time. If you thiidc you are due to be calle l on the next day, it is a good |daii to sttidy one |)aragrai)h of the lesson and start a lengthy discussion in class. The teach- er will seldom call on yon after this. .Vnother thing, always watch the clock. It is snijirising how oftCii you can save yonrsidf by “stalling for time until the b(dl rings. Try it. t dierever yon aie, let evmybody do all he can foi yon. At lirst it may be w(dl to choose the lazi( st ])erson yon know. Study his methods and learn all yon can from him. Then, to get ]-id (d' him, start trying to be a little lazier than he and he will soon leave yon of his own accord when he linds yon will do nothing for him. After that, ]� ick out the ]� eo]tle who are most wi lling to hel|� yon. Never overlook a chance to do something for them if it does not jmt you out. 1 usually man- age to get three or four favors in re- turn for every one of my own. Learn to l(‘t ]K“o])le know what yon want by a hint or a motion. For instance, if yon want something neai' sonu'one else , do not go around him but reach in front of him. lie will know that it is bad eli(|uett( for yon to do this, so In will jirobably jtass the desired ob- ject witlnnit b( ing asked.

It lacks school spirit! Do you call it school s{)irlt to go to a game and sit (juietly like a hunch of “know-nothings ? Of course not! Don't you su])j)ose the players want t( know that their school is suj� ]� orting them? They don't want to have to look in the grandstand to .see if you're still there. You ])rohahly have noticed what a wonderful showing the Melrose ])eojde make at a game. Their players almost always win, too. I believe a lot of the victory of a game is due to the suj)- ]� ort their school is giving them. Those of you who were in the Arena when we played Newton and Cambridge Latin know how dull it was in our section. No leader, I suppo.se you say, but do you su])i)ose that any boy or girl would want to make a dunce of his or her.self by leading a crowd of numbskulls who don’t know the cheers?

The girls fongiit hard at every game and out of twelve games, Arling- ton won four, two of these being won from Revere. At Wellesley, on February IS, the team fonght hard but it missed the ca] tain, onr higlu'st scorer. ’hen the girls went to Melrose, they were greatly hamlicaj� ])ed by the gym- nasinm which was small and had the baskets in the corners. For this reason the Meh-ose. girls had an advantage over Arlington. On .March lo, there was a most ex- citing game with Vinche.ster in onr ‘•gym.'' This was the third victory of the season. The last game of the sea.son was played in Lexington. The girls were again snccessfnl in defeating their old hockey rivals. The scores for the season are: Arlington :!!l. Revere 28. . rlington 21, Swam|)SCott 2.'). Arlington 8, M’ellesley 51. , .Arlington 24, Revei'e i. .Arlington 17, Watertown 34. .Vrlington 17, Melrose 34.

ONE PAGE WE SEE IT THE bright SPOT IN A BRIGHT PAPER ONE PAGE DRAMATIC CLUB A dramatic clul) was or ganized recently under the direction of Miss Treat and the following officers were elected : President HAROLD SIMPSON Vice-President HAZEL LOGAN Secretary DOROTHEA JOHNSON T reasurer WILLIAM HOMER The club intends to give three one-act plays for which try-outs have already been held. A dramatic club is an asset to a school and it is hoped that this one will es- tablish itself as a permanent organization. SECOND CLARION ENTERTAINMENT The second entertainment held under the direction of the CLARION Board took place in the assembly hall after school on Friday, April 1. It was April Fool’s Day and the orchestra, scheduled to play the first and last numbers on the program en- joyed their little trick and were conspicuous by their absence. William Tobin ren- dered two vocal selections, and Elliot Barker and Bur- ton Poole, as Mutt and Jeff, performed their antics in sil- houette behind a screen. James Simpson and John Crosby gave charades on members of the faculty while the screen served as a frame for the shadows of the teach- ers. Miss Andrina Kenney received much applause for her well-rendered monologues and Miss Alice Vianello gave two pretty dances. The nov- elty sextette (consisting of five members) closed the program. In spite of April Fool pranks everyone had a good time and the CLARION is grateful for the $16.18 con- tributed at the door which was used for the cuts for the illustrations of the prize stories in this number. LECTURES Several successful business men have been secured re- cently by Mr. Pearson of the Commercial Department to give talks to the Seniors in the Lecture Room. All of these men represent well- established firms and have years of business experience behind them. Their talks are worth-while and give the boy or girl who is to go out into the business world an idea of what is necessary to gain success. One of the most interest- ing talks was given by Professor Whitehead of Bos- ton University. His vigorous manner and interesting sub- ject matter made an imme- diate appeal to the pupils. NEAR EAST RELIEF On Tuesday, April 26, Dr. Yonan, a graduate of the Rush Medical School, Chica- go, and former delegate to the Peace Convention as Rep- resentative of his native country, Assyria, spoke in behalf of the Near East Re- lief. He gave a most vivid account of the terrible con- ditions in his own country and in Armenia during the war and at the present time. We feel sure that his appeal for help for these war-strick- en countries will bring an early response from the stu- dents in the school. Rensselaer Polytechnic Courses in Civil Enginieerins; (C.

The business man feels that the ability to do the unnsual and to use one's own initiative, is of as much imjioftance as the ability to learn what is set before one. The. Iiigh school is an excellent place to encourage such activities, but at la-esent many pujeils are loath to give Uji their time for work for winch they receive little or no credit if, for any reason, their points toward graduation are limitetl. In a high school about twenty miles fi(tm Iloston credits are given fe r school activities in a elecide dly liberal manner and the. results are apparently vei y satisfactory. Eee r example, the l)resident of the Se nie)r Class, as well as the otiie-ers and mendeers of e ertain school e-lidts, ree-eive a generous number of credits for their ]� artici]iation in ac- tivities. This means that a high stanei- ard for the work done by these jeeijeils must he set and the faculty advisers of the different organizations must deter- mine whether or not this standard has been attained. I y this plan two excel- lent results are obtained; First, the character of the organizations is im- ](roved; for, in order to receive the cov- eted points, the jnipils must have done woik of a grade corresponding to that done in the class-room. In the second jilace, more pu])ils coni])ete in this work and cons( (pient ly their faculties are le- veloped along some line in which they are j:articnlarly interested or to which they aie especially adapted. Club work increases their opi� ortunities to exercise their abilities of leadership and gives them a .sense of civic respon- sibility. The plan linally resolves it.self into a method (d‘ increasing the importance and emphasizing the beuelils derived fi'om school activities outside of tin legnlar class-room work. Our own high school has given some attention to this matter; but, since the inij� or- tanci of this jihase of the school life is generally acknowledged, an exten- sion of tin j)resent scheme would uot seem unwise. dune twenty-third marks the close (d’ the school year and witli it another group of young j)eople got s from school into different tields of work or study. They have had the benefit of instruc- tion in one of the best high schools in .Massachusetts and, ttdlowing the tra- dition of Arlington High School alumni, they slntnld rank well with other high school graduates. We trust that th( y will always show tliose (pial- ities which make for good citizens and which lln y have developed while at- lemling Arlington High School, and that they may each be a model repi e- sentative of the school. The foUoiciiiy three stories receivedtKJiiordhle iiieiilion in the reeent Clau- lox contest: The Cause One! 'I'wo! One! Two! One! Two! fHi, the liorrihle gi'lnd ! For ten days 1 lia l been jdoddin ' through the tracts of snow on the stejtjies of Itnssia. mind was beginning to wander! I saw my Knssian guide with his ferret eyes turn itito a wolf w!liich was at- tacking me. Then my shifting mind jdctttred the Jiolshevik soldiers chasing me. In tarn my mind wottld go back and I wotild see Wells, and Seaver, and Oonaldson, each dropjting dead at my feet. Then the scenes wottld repeat and re]ieat. .My walking had become ])nrely auto- matic. I knew that when 1 fell dead, as had my companions, the gtiide would b(dt, leavitig my body as a feast for the jiacks of howling wolves. I stip]t(� se this thonght ke]� t me going. 'hen we Ihsl from Takust, we at- tetnjded a western bight to the Fa- cific. Hut now 1 knew not where the gttide was taking me. Tints we wandered on, sitrely a sight for the occasional wolves that hungrily whined at us. I was bent with fatigue. A gi-( at bearskin coat completely cov- ered me, while the guide was wrai)i� ed iti innutnerable rolls of dirty cloth with a collectioti of mangy wolf skins thrown over them. I never expectcsl to reach civilizti- tion. ! Iy most lurid hope was to rettch a tree into which 1 coubl climb and die safe from the wolves. My guide thonght more about the safety of the jewels than he did of me and, in fact, 1 knew he wished me dead. The cattse of my lleeitig w(� nld be traced back to the jewels to which the guide clung. Wells had stiden them frotn one of the former royal castles . We were fotir iiKMlical sltidents in Yaktist, so in- stead of letting him receive the blame, we all fh“d with him. On the second day of night, 'ells and Seaver fought over j)ossessiou of the jewels! Donald- son and 1 were horrified when Seaver shot and killed VelLs. That was the lirst evil (dfect that the jewels had on tts. Three days later, just as we struck the sm� w line, Seaver dropped detid ! cottld see no cause btr his death, because he was more robust than either Donaldson or I. ICe receivcnl the same btirial that the man he had killed had. This was the second effect the jewels had. 1 refttsed to carry them, but Don- aldson eagerly grabbed the ‘offer of having them. Then he went mad! At first 1 noticed that he kept watch- ing me. Then he wmddn't speak. Hut 1 was so exhausted that 1 hardly no- ticed his actions. In the afternoon of THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 9 1Ii(‘ seventh day of onr fli ;ht we came upon the footprints of a hninan being. I hurried ahead and eanglit nj to a Knssian who readily consented to be- come onr gnide as far as Okhnst. Don- aldson was for killing him, bnt J se- cretly stole his revolver and threw it in the snow. Donaldson grew worse and worse. First lie tried to strangle me! After that 1 made him walk be- lAvemi the guide and me. Then he kicked the guide! I imlled him away, bnt instead of a struggle as I liad ex- pected, he fell back — dead ! 1 think he wanted to kill the Itussian and me, so that there would be no other jier- son to claim the jewels besides himself. At the time I thought little of his death. I was wondering how soon mine would come. The guide buried him, bnt refused to bury the jewels, as 1 wanted him to. The day after Donaldson's d( ath, a. lone wolf became so indiscreet as to crawl within range of my revcdver. 'We ravenously devoured it, uncooked as it was. This food gave me a little strength; but. the Russian's sjdrits fell, for he knew there was less chance of my death and that meant less chance of his getting the jewels. 1 am sure he would have tried to kill me, if it hadn't been that he was umu-med and that 1 had a levolver! Some wav or other we reached Ok- hust. My haggard a]� ]iearauce cre- at('(l no stir, for the ])eople were used to foreigners straggling in from tin east. 1 engaged a room in an inn and had my tirst chance to examine the jewels. It is useless to try to describe their beauty! Sparkling diamonds, delicate tinted o]� als, and ]� earls! The ])(‘arls were wonderful. One in ])ai-lic- ular 1 noticed. It was almost as large as a small egg, but its size was not its only attraction. It .seemed luminous. A candle was the oidy means of il- lumination in the lingy room, yet this pearl aj� pareiitly rellected the light from huge lamps! AVhile looking at the jewels, I heard some one ai ]� roach ; so I hastily shoved them under my j)il- low. After looking at the jewels, I wanted to keep them; but then I thought of the terrible fate that each fj-iend who had coveted them had met. AVith these thoughts in my mind, I wmit to slee] in the lirst bed I had shqit on for nearly two weeks. In the morning I could hardly rise! 1 rolh'd out of bed ami managed to call foi' assistance. The inn keeper rushe l me to a hos]� ital. I thought my head was crushed, but nothing had hit me. My legs sank fi-om under me. The Rus- sian doctor didn't seem to know what was the mattei- with me, so 1 asked if there was an American (btctor in the town. While waiting, I ovei-lu‘ard one of th(‘ nurses telling a second one that I was the man whose servant ha l falhm dead that moining! That news made my condition worse. ly deliri- ous mind ]� ictured my death as all of thos( who touched the jewels had died. It as ]mr(dy luck that saved my life. A prominent American scientist was just going aboard a shiji bound for America, when word reached him that a fellow-countryman lay dying in the hospital, lie left the shi]i and came to see me. A doctor would have been Avortbless. When he arrived, 1 was un- conscious: but this is what he told nu! a month, lat(‘r: ‘AVhen I reached the bosjdtal, you were in a serious condition. 1 knew nothing alxmt medicine, and all I could do was to let you die, for it was ajtpar- eut that you were nearly dead! 1 stayi'd by your b(‘dside, cursing my in- 10 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION aOility and the inahilitv of the Russian doctors to save yonr lilV.

On my asking to see yoni- room, tin projirietor evidently thonj Iit I wanted to hire it, for he was e.xtra jiolite. 1 tidd him I would take it in ordei- to ;et rid of him.

('harles Laurence Ilai-dy. SALI’TATOKY This evening, as yon know, marks a great change in the lives of the niem- lu’rs of this graduating class, for the town of Arlington, with yonr sniijiort, has coni]deted its undertaking of ]iro- viding ns with an edneation. We are gi-atefnl for yonr inteia’st in ns, and we ri’aiize that we now have the responsi- bility (d‘ jiroving to yon that we merit yonr interest, and that yon have made a sonnd investment in ex]iending yonr money to furnish ns with an edneation. 1 lielieve yon will admit that so far yonr investment has in-oved a sonnd one, for it has snpiilied the Fnited States with educated citizens, without which no country can prosjier, as is evi- denced by Lnssia's condition at the inesent time; bnt, as J mention this, yon will jn-obably ask what we gradu- ates are going to do ourselves to make yonr investment turn out well. A ’ith regard to this question, my classmate, Malcolm ('ampbell, and 1 shall en- deavor to tell yon what we consider the o]� portnnities open to the members of onr class; he will discuss o])portn- nities for 3’onng men, while I shall dis- cuss tliose open to yoniig women. It is readily ajiparent that no mat- ter what other opiiortnnities the girls of this class have, the one which they all have in common is that of serving onr country. This service may take many forms, one of which is found in voting. The girls of this class will, in the course of a few years, be voters, and the attitude which they take to- ward national atfairs will aid in deter- mining onr standard as a nation. If they endeavor to snjipress their per- sonal feelings and place onr conntry's welfari’ aliove everything else when tliey make their decisions in voting, they will nndonbtedly contribute to- wai'd the prosperity of the United States. One gri’at opportunity which has been opened to every member of this class liy the AVorld War is that of promoting a feeling of fellowship thronghont the country. Ilefore the war, the jieople of ihe United States were, as a whole, egotistical; every person acti’d sobdy for his own benetit : bnl', during the war, everyone lost all thought of self in gi ing his snpjiort to the United States, in order that she might do her jiart in making the world I I 1 if J'ront row: Second row 'J'hird row : Back row : - - - -i THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 23 salV for (leiiioci-acy. Now that the war is over, we Americans liave learned the lesson of sell'-saci ilice, and we are in- clined to he a little more considerate ot the oilier jierson ; hnt this feeling will nol he long maintained unless it is fostered, so the girls of onr class will have an oi)[)oi‘tnnity to he of serv- ice hy advocating this feeling of fellow- ship. Other ojijiortnnities may he found in sniiiiorting movements which aim toward national improvement. Jn this connection, it would he well to mention some women who have accom- ])lislu d mnch in the nature of im]nov- ing the United States. Among the most prominent of these are -lane Ad- dams, the social reformer; and .Mrs. Uallington Booth, the jirison worker. It is nnnecessary to go into the details of their accom])lishments, for everyone knows of .Miss .Vddams' achievements in social settlement work, and also of .Mrs. Booth’s splendid work among the inmates of onr jnisons. It is not to he e.xpected that the girls of this class will hecome second dane .Vddamses, hnt the least they can do is to snpjiort the movements which she and other snch women have inangnrated. How- ever, md in these planned etforts are the only opportunities to serve, for in everything we undertake is found the same element of service. In doing the work which is allotted to ns in the pursuit of our vocations, we are unconsciously contrihuting to the welfare of mankind. The doctor or nurse, while earning her livelihood in hringing hack to health the i)atient nnder her care, the homemaker who creates pleasant surroundings for her family, is in reality serving the world; the same is true of the teacher, who hel])S to educate tliitse who will make up the future generations of men and women. The stenogi-aphei or hook- keeper, who goes to her daily routine, scaicely pauses to consider that, in the perf(� rmance of her work, she is Ind))- ing to maintain the smooth j)rogress of hnsiness, which materially raises the. standard of her country; the woman engaged in farming hardly realizes her imjantance in heliting to nourish her fellow-heings ; and thus it progresses through the long list of occupations, everyone unconsciously contrihuting to the welfare of others; so the girls of oui- class, who are going out into the world as homemakers, stenographers, secietaries, teachers, and nurses, will tind unlimited o]t])orl uniti(“s for serv- ic( through tludr vocations. While ])romoting the welfare of the world hy thus giving service through our work, tlu memhers of this class of 1!)21, hoth girls and hoys, will he prov- ing to you, onr ])arents, teachers, ami fri( nds, what your investment has meant to us, and will mean to human- ity. .VI ice L. Waage, '21. VUVUEIMUTOBY Friends of the .Vrlington High School, the excu'cises this evening mark a memorahh occasion in the lives of th(‘ memhers of this graduating class of lh21. In leaving tonight we have a feeling of mingled joy and i-( gret; for onr dear old school days are over and we are entering ui� t)n the more inde- pendent and self-reliant ]� hase of life to which we have long heen looking forward. .Vlthough Ave shall soon sep- arate on many courses, Ave rejoice to- night, while we are still together, that this graduating class has enjctyed the hcmetits of a high school education and is embarking ujmn a future made more I'romising by that education. Tonight, we, ie|)resentative of the graduating 24 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION (•lassos tlii-ouj li()Ut the land, carrying f(tr vai(l into this fntnrc the knowhalge vc liave gained and the ]� rogressive ideals and jnineiples of Americanism whicli we have learned, are ahoni to set ont toward some detinite end of ac- coinidishment. Friends, the graduation of this class of l!)2l suggests to me the lannching of a great shi]) of jiromise which has long lieen in conise of constinct ion. ’hen we shall receive onr diplomas tonight, we shall feed that we are like a shiji which is slij)idng steadily (htwn the ways and amid cheers of e.xnltation is ahont to ])lnnge into the sea on its maiden voyage, the pride and hojje of its builders, ’e are setting sail into a new world where we shall separate on many dilfereiit courses, where we shall encounter teni])est and calm and at times he far fi'om sight of friendly shores. Fnder these conditions, we onrs(dves, like the sliip, mnst lu always guided liy a hand which jK)ints toward the goal of some worthy accom}dish ment ahead; for, without tliat goal, we slionld di'ift astray to he driven on the rocks. Hence, we mnst reinemt)er that we are ahont t t set ont into a new worhl and that we mnst work toward some delinite amhition in the future. We, yonng imm and women of today, will seek this end in many ways. Some will enter the hnsiness world, there to engage in commerce Ijoth at home and abroad, to snpjily the j)nhlic with food, clothing, and all the thousand conveni- ences which onr time demands. S(� me may enten' i-eal estate and insurance, (� r study tinance, later to contrid the na- tion's gold and currency, or to jn-omote industrial capital. Many of ns will work to assist in the develoinnent of onr mines, onr st(H“l mills, and fonn- dries, onr forests, farms and cattle ranches. Othei-s of ns may favor con- struction and engineering. For there is still mnch to he done in this held, 'there aie cities and Innnes to he hiiilt ; hi-idges that shall s])an o nr widest riv- ers mnst he constrncted ; the i-ailways mnst he maintained and extended; great jiower-hon.ses mnst rise on (wery liver hank, where giant turbines shall hariu'ss the honndless (mergy of wasteal water. In addition to the work already men- tioned, we shall recognize the valne of the professions. Kesponsihle lawyers and justices mnst njihohl onr laws; doctors of medicine and surgery must relieve onr sick and jirevent disease; scientists mnst carry on research and investigation in jihysics, chemistry, and biology; and students of literature and art mnst jireserve, teach, and fur- ther onr civilization. Tonight we tind ourselves launched on a vast sea of commerce, industry, and learning, coiiscions of our opjmr- tunities and obligations. From this ])oint in onr lives we, as graduates of this school, must view the great future hefori' us and select the course by which we shall st( er. We must not drift out of this course, hut we must sail straightway ahead with all our corn-age, that we may reach the des- tined ])orts with cargoes safe and sure. Having onr individual ports in view, onr greatest concern shall he how can we follow our coui-ses by means which shall justify the elfoi't of the builders? The answer is in work, that faithful and ambitious sort of work which is done regardless of the hour or dollars and cents, uch woi-k is a service, a service either directly or indirectly to the wlnde nation. If with tlu se two (pialihcations we comhine a sjiirit of loyal fellowship, having a scpiare deal THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION for every man with lliougiit for tlie other fellow, we .shall he of greatest jossihle value 1o each other and so he- coiiie citizens which an an asset to onr reinihlic. Then, with this threefold aim — to work, to serve, and t(� maintain a spirit of fellowship — may we all set out into the future with a will to accomjjlish and to he of service to ourselves, our fellowmen. and our nation.

HISTORY ASSEMBLY At the Monday morning as- sembly on June 6 an inter- esting sketch was given by Miss W.akefleld’s history class on the subject of im- migration and citizenship. A lesson in history was given with Donald Keyes as the teacher. Arthur Landers spoke in Italian dialect and IViarjorie Dick sang “Santa Lucia” very pleasingly. The program was interesting as well as instructive. FRESHMEN GREET JUN- IOR HIGH PUPILS The Freshman Class of A. H. S. showed its initia- tive and originality by invit- ing the Junior High School graduating class to a social, so that the sub-Freshmen might become acquainted with the intricacies of high school life. George MacClel- land, president of the Fresh- man Class, gave a speech of welcome and Hughes told the Junior High pupils about the buildiing and classes. Dorothy Ring, president of the Freshman Girls’ Glee (’lub, talked about the musi- cal activities of the school and members of Miss Riley’s Freshman English class acted out scenes from the books which they were reading. Andrina Kenney, as a sub- Fieshman, and Mayday Red- man, as a Sophomore, gave a clever little sketch. The program closed with a speech from Mr. Gammons and the singing of the school song. We are sure that next year’s Freshmen will be much less bewildered than those of foi mer years, when they come to A. H. S. Rensselaer Polytechnic Courses in Civil Engioeering (C. E.), Mechanical Engineering (M. E.), Electrical Engineering (£. E.). Chemical Engineering (Ch. E.), and General Science (B S.) Also Graduate and Special Courses. Unsurpassed new Chemical. Physical, ElecCrlcal« Me chanical and Materials Testing Laboratories.
