Act mi the Goddess of History was diligently working. The Goddess, over-worked on account of the war in Europe, finally became so tired she fell asleep. The imp Curiosity coining along, wondering what the Goddess had been writing about, climbed up to see, and this is what she read: CLASS OF 191.1. ASHTABULA HIGH SCHOOL In Hill a great host of trembling Freshmen entered A. II. S. As was the usual custom, the teachers had considerable trouble directing their young charges to their proper places. This was difficult because this was the largest class that ever entered A. II. S. and because the class had to he divided among various rooms. In a few days, though, the Freshmen became accustomed to high school ways and lost their frightened look. Affairs went rather smoothly until examination time, then many dropped by the way-side. They organized literary societies and had very good programs—for Freshmen. Their one social event of the year was a sleigh ride. Although they were not permitted to go outside the city limits and had to he in at ! o’clock, yet it was a sleigh ride. As they entered the Sophomore year, their ranks were somewhat depleted. Some knew enough already, and some liked being Freshmen so well they decided to remain as such another year. Between Freshmen and Sophomores was a great step. This year they were permitted to organize. They elected Fred Thorpe president. They selected yellow and white for class colors, with the daisy as class flower. This year they were also permitted to have a Hallowe'en party. The C., P. A. carried them to the home of Zelma Glenn, where they thoroughly enjoyed the evening. They began their Junior year by electing Murray Cook president. The most notable feature of the year was the Junior-Senior reception (acknowledged to he the best ever), at which the good will of the Seniors was fully gained. On Hallowe’en, two hayrack loads of Juniors slowly traveled through the deep mud to Gamp Wah-peton. After eating apples and doughnuts and drinking cider they slowly returned as the night was half way through its course. Later in the year some of the Juniors went in a hob to the home of Murray Cook, where a very enjoyable evening was spent. Their Senior year has been a very eventful one. In the first place, they are by far the largest class that has ever been graduated from A. H. S. They are also the last class to have to be so crowded in the old high school. Fred Thorpe was again eleeted president. The boys organized a Junior Chamber of Commerce which met Friday noons in the Domestic Science Building. Of course, the girls could not be outdone by the boys so they organized the Clvtean Club. Meetings have been held every three weeks during the year. At Christmas time a parly and taffy-pull was held in the Domestic Science Building. Needless to say, all those present enjoyed a very-pleasant evening. At one meeting of the club the girls decided to have simplicity the keynote of their commencement. The idea of cutting down excessive expense was commended by the school board, faculty and the public in general. Before a packed house the Senior class presented The College Widow. This was well received and declared to be the best Senior play ever given. The class of ’L” celebrated Hallowe’en at the home of Olive and Beth Wilkcrson, where they were delightfully entertained. When the thermometer registered several degrees below zero, a bob load of Seniors rode forth to the home of Gretchen Hollister. There they were given a very hearty welcome. After playing many games and being served to an excellent oyster supper, they bade their hostess adieu. No one regretted having braved the cold weather. Besides these things throughout the four years’ course, the class has been well represented in athletics and debate. The class has also had a large number on the honor roll. It is the lirst class to have eleven above ninety for the four y ears’ course. The last event before commencement was the Junior-Senior Reception, where they were entertained in a splendid manner by the Juniors.

Berlin: You are invited to he present at a reunion of the class of 1915 of the Ashtabula High School, to he held at the White House, June 30, 1935. MURRAY COOK. President. Per RUTH DEWEY. Secretary. HAD BEEN reading a Herman comment upon the two great American cartoonists, Harold Lance and Harold Blakcslce, when the hotel interpreter, Charles Friedman, handed me the above wireless. Our party had been making a tour of the East under charge of Walter Willing, the experienced globe trotter, and we had just arrived in Berlin. The whole parly was greatly excited, as they had received similar communications. There were nine of us—ClilVord Rogers, (Ilenn (irimm, Henry Bassett, retired grocers; Irene and Ruth Wet more, whose hairdressing establishment had recently been purchased by Rowena North; Carl Rohishaw, Dean of Harvard College, and Edward Rose, Professor of Chemistry at the same institution; Mary Young and Pauline Johnson, who had come across the Atlantic to visit the school of music conducted by Rachel Stone and Nina Cook. We quickly packed up and started for the wharf. On the way we met Cordell Carleton. who, after serving as City Auditor of Ashtabula for some years, had come to Germany to study their methods; also Emmet Bixler. who was studying the German police system prior to his term as police judge of Cleveland, Ohio. We came to the store of Paul Smith, importer of American machinery, and went in to see him and his secretaries. Frances Sanders and Clara Bartholomew. The latter was very much elated, for her old friend Daisy Wood had just got an important hill passed in the English House of Commons. They, together with Carleton and Bixler, decided to return with us. We proceeded to the dock to take the glass Panog, invented by Irving Pah low, which would take us across the Atlantic in two days. Upon reaching the wharf, we met Leo Sage and Scott Earlywinc, who had been establishing the latest types of American greenhouses in the old country. We got aboard the Panog and met her captains, George Stimson and George Rice. We went to the staterooms to prepare for the passage over. We had been out of port only some twelve hours when a commotion arose. Upon reaching the deck, we found that an old-fashioned steamboat had hurst its boilers. They were able to get but one small boat over before the ship sank. We picked that up and found among the survivors some old schoolmates, Lcola Clark, Olive Wilkcrson, Margery Flack, Harold McIntyre and Mac Cook. Our trip proceeded without anything else of especial interest taking place, and soon we reached Sandy Hook. We passed Coney Island, which was enjoying unprecedented popularity, due to its most elficient management by Rryan Fisher and DeForest Holden. A few hours later we were on our way up town in a magnetic Huala which had been perfected by Duane Kennedy. We passed Robert Knowlton’s great chemical laboratories. Perry Cook's live and ten cent store, and Gene Crosby’s undertaking establishment. We found hv the bill hoards that the famous prima donna, Norene Large, and her accompanist, Rub Cowin, were in town and that Fred Thorpe's Majestic Stock Company, with Adelaide Zcile, Mabel Madden and Maurice Cook of old times were showing at the Metropolitan Theater. While passing through Central Park on the way to a hotel, we saw a great crowd around a speaker. We learned from Policeman Maurice Covert that it was the leader of the National Reform Party, Marjorie Mitchell, declaiming against the Tammany rule of New York’s political boss, Trcva Rohishaw. On the other side of the square the former Nancy Hub-hard was speaking in defence of Ross Rohishaw. We arrived at the hotel and met Eleanor Seymour, the modern Pavlowa, in the lobby. She was talking with Retli Wilkcrson and husband, who was President of the L. S. M. S. R. R. She told us of the marvelous singing of Jessie Baine and Laura Rockwell, traveling with Revivalist Henry Smith, who was following the principles of Billy Sunday. Among his latest converts were Barney McGarry and Fred Griggs. We went to our rooms, hut found no lights there. We reported this to the office secretary, Alfhild Johnson, who said she would have the manager see to it. Soon In came along the corridor grumbling that if we wouldn’t sleep without lights we could go somewhere else. Great was our surprise to find that it was Donald McDaniels. Next morning we got aboard one of Lindsey Rcn-nick’s latest passenger planes, driven by Gordon Hayford. This took ns high over Harold Williams SENIOR N U M B E R 17 Class P r o p h ami Sheldon Mack's Agricultural School, and a few minutes later landed in Washington. We alighted next to the National Hospital conducted hv l)r. Howard Wright. Much of Ids great success was due to the help of his assistants, Xelnia (ilenn and Vesta Coup. That morning we attended a session of Congress and met Nelson Crowther and the former (iretehen Hollister. Senate was called to order by President Marion Robinson, and we heard several spirited speeches by Florence Rennet of Indiana and Anna Anderson of I'tah. Charles Nieminen, ex-(iov-ernor of Ohio, made a speech commending Congress for its act in abolishing the army and navy. That afternoon we took a trip around the capital city. Several limes we met Helen Cross and Charley Wright, who were distributing campaign literature for the National Reform Party’s candidate for ITesi- e c y C o n t i n u e cl dent, Shirley Peek. We went back to the hotel and there found l.ila Klein and Esther Cordon, who were working for the government's private detective. H. Pinkerton Collins. few hours later we were at the While House. At the door were Murray Cook, host, and Fred Thorpe, as president of the class, to receive us. We spent the time after the usual course of such events and it was in the small hours that we sat down to a sumptuous banquet. After having done justice to this, we heard speeches from various members of the class, and finally from Mr. H. R. Townsend, the honored guest of the evening, lie spoke of the interest with which he had followed the success of the class and expressed a wish for the continuance of its welfare. Everyone now rose in response to Murray Cook's toast to the class. Class Song Our high school days are o’er. All those joyous hours arc past; From their trials often sore We have emerged at last. For thee in years to come Each will his love express; And thy name and fame We will e’er maintain— Our class in A. II. S.

We’ve discovered that the trials Only come to bless. And that good or ill. We shall love it still— Our class in A. II. S. Though we feel a touch of sadness That our high school days are past.

NNIv HAVELOCK pushed back Hie ledger in which she had been straightening up I he month’s accounts of The Cabot Daily Times.” After I’ve paid Al and the printers, there will be scarcely a decent salary left for me. What’s the use of all my work here? I came down because I thought the town needed a daily newspaper and now I And that they will hardly support it, much less lake any interest in it. How can you publish a paper in a town where every body knows all the news before if happens and no one is interested in anythin more distant than the next railway station? If I made a million a year it wouldn’t repay me for my exile in this town, which never has a dozen people on its main street unless there is a circus or a Are. 1 never saw such a crowd of ill.dresscd, uncultured people in my life. There isn't a woman in the place except me, who has a dress less than three years old. Picking up the ledger, she pushed it into a drawer, pushed the drawer shut and pushed down the top of her desk; then looked angrily about because there was nothing more to push. She sat for a long lime gazing moodily out upon the barren gray landscape where the gray hill mounted up, dotted with little gray houses until its top was fringed with a string of dreary gray fir trees. The houses were, to aP intents, exactly alike except that some still showed, on closer examination, the traces of what was once a coat of paint. Everything was of dull color, from The “Times” office to the fir trees and, Anne thought to herself, the people were of the same drab color. Yet this was the town, the place, she was trying to help with her paper, trying to instill with a little of the twentieth century endenw . Surely it was a hopeless attempt! After a while she rose and, slipping on her loose coat and pulling her soft hat down over her hair, locked the office door behind her and started along the narrow walk which accompanied the muddy road up the hill. She climbed up and up, leaving the houses far behind until she reached the group of firs. Here she seated herself upon a convenient rock and gazed down upon the valley. Soon the dismal view melted before her eyes, and she dreamed of New York, the New York which she had left so courgeously but a few months before. She saw its well dressed, hurrying throng. She saw its brightly lighted theaters and cafes, and everywhere women in light beautiful clothes, for Anne loved beauty in anything, but especially in fine raiment. I’ll go back!” she cried. I can surely line! a position. Why should I bury myself here with these uncultured people when I can have all that which I love so well? I’ll go up tomorrow and see what I can do. With this cheerful thought she sprang quickly up and started briskly down the bill, already mentally bidding farewell to her dismal surroundings. She had nearly reached the level when two small children came running up behind her, and as they passed her, the smaller, a little child of perhaps four years, stumbled and fell. She sat there upon the walk with her lips quivering and large tears rolling out of her blue eyes, but she did not utter a cry. Anne looked at her quickly to see if she were very dirty, and then rebuking herself severely for her hesitation, stooped and picked her up. She was not dirty at all, Anne found, greatly to her surprise, but very neatly, if plainly dressed, and she cuddled up so quickly, placing her chubby arms around Anne’s neck Hint Anne was cpiite won over. The little boy had been trying to comfort the little girl, and now he smiled and slipped his hand into Anne’s. Don’t cry, dear, Anne said to the baby. It will be all right in a moment.” Then she turned to the boy, “what is your name, sonny?” “Billy Foster, an’ she’s my sister Alice, an’ we live right up here a ways. We was just goin’ home so as not to be late for the party. It’s Molly’s birthday party. Wouldnt’ you like to come?” He looked up eagerly into his new friend's face. Visions of a birthday party which one of her friends had given her little daughter rose up before Anne’s eyes. She saw a large table surrounded by beautifully dressed and combed children and decorated in the middle by a huge basket of roses and lilies. She saw the exquisite favors filled with the most expensive candy and the staid butler serving the guests, who talked quietly, very much as their mothers and fathers did. It had been a lovely party, but this one—! Anne smiled at the boy. I’m afraid I couldn't come today, but I will walk along with you to your house.” The boy stopped before one of the dullest looking houses, and Anne was about to put the baby down and say good-bye when the door opened and a woman, large of form, cheery of face, but gingham of dress came forward to greet her. Why, Miss Havelock, where did you meet my wandering children? Oh, of course you don’t know me, but I have read your paper so often and enjoyed your articles so much that I feel I know you. I am Mrs. Foster. Won’t you please come in? I would so like to have you and the children would be simply delighted.” S E N I O R N U M B E R 21 The Color of the Anne was surprised l find herself going in, for she had had no such intentions a moment before. She was ushered up the steps and through the door into a living room, whieh surprised her with its cheery tire. After Mrs. Foster had divested the newcomers of their wraps, she led the way to the kitchen. It seemed to Anne that she had never seen so many children together before, and such a racket ensued that she would fain have placed her hands over her ears. A tally-pull was the occasion and everyone seemed to he enjoying it greatly. Soon she found herself possessed of a large sticky lump of taffy, and she was instructed to “pull it by Hilly. She pulled and pulled and was surprised to find herself proud of the luscious white pieces which she finally carried to the living room. There she and Mrs. Foster sal before the fire while the children romped and Mrs. Foster talked. Anne heard the names and histories of the live Foster children and all of their accomplishments. She heard, too, of how the croup had threatened Alice no longer than a week ago. Finally the conversation turned to the neighbors and Anne heard of Mrs. Andrew’s chickens and the marvelous number of eggs they bad laid. They ended with a discussion of whether the minister’s rheumatism would become better here or if he ought to go to a different climate. Anne went home puzzled. She did not know whether she was amused or touched, whether she was bored or interested, but she did know that she had not missed the butler, that she had been invited to return whenever she should wish, and that Billy had run to bring in The “Times as soon as it had been thrown on the porch. She decided to take the earliest train the next morning for New York. At the station the station master greeted her with a cheery “Good morning. Miss Havelock. You’re getting an early start today. Going far?” .lust to New York,” Anne answered. “Well, I sorla guess you’re going to have a pretty nice day to do your traveling. For the first time Anne noticed that the sun was peeping up over the hill and that the air had a spicy, spring fragrance in it. Several other people who were standing on the platform spoke to her, and, impatient to reach her destination, she climbed into the train. She went direetlx to her old office, where she was greeted with great joy, and asked if she hadn’t had enough of the “simple life” and wasn't ready to return to “Little Old New York. She laughingly refused to tell and was offered her old position with a slight increase in salary. It was just what she wanted and she was delighted, but it was not policy to show it, so she promised to think it over and write her answer in a day or two. Vest, Continued “Good-bye, Cabot,” she sang to herself as she walked briskly up the street. She had an appointment to lunch with a friend at her favorite tearoom at noon, and she determined to spend the two intervening hours buying herself a number of pretty gowns. She went gaily to the store where she was accustomed to buy and prepared to revel in fine clothes. She was disappointed, however, for somehow she did not find a great amount of pleasure in making her purchases. It seemed rather shallow to her as she looked from one beautiful gown to another. They were none of them to be compared in beauty with Alice Foster's golden curls and blue eyes. She finally purchased hut one simple dress and was rather shocked as she thought about it later, to remember that it was of that hated color—gray. She looked at the people about her. They were all hurrying, hurrying, each one pushing himself forward with no thought of his neighbor. They were stylish, but they were not interesting. They all rushed forward and were gone out of your life in a moment. There was no one whom you would recognize again; no one who would speak a friendlx word to you; no friends. Anne had a wild thought when she wished she could see only their backs. When you saw their faces you were disappointed. Their clothes were all different, but the expression on their faces all alike. Hach person was merely a part of the crowd. She met her friend at the appointed place and was greeted effusively, hut try as she might all her words seemed hollow. What did she, Anne, count for among so many? Now in Cabot she was a personality- hut she shook herself impatiently. Anne ale her deliciously cooked food almost silently, answering a few words to her friend’s long tales of the dinners and dances and plays which she had attended, and. at last, of the latest scandals in society. Finally. Anne, wondering what connection there was between Mrs. So-andSo's latest divorce and Alice Foster’s croup that the one should suggest the other, asked about her companion’s little daughter. “How is Adela? You haven’t told me about her yet. Does she still remember Aunt Anne?” “Oh, I suppose so, I really haven’t much time io give to her, and then Marie is such a splendid nurse that I need not worry. As I was saying, everybody thought that she really didn’t care anything about him any way. so when he----” Anne gasped. Had she reallly ever thought Adela well cared for, when her mother would rather talk of some town scandal than of her adorable liltl daughter? She remembered Mrs. Foster holding the tired Alice in her lap and laughing as Anne spoke of the work she would have in cleaning up after the party. SENIOR N U M B E R The Color of the Anne had thought to remain in town another day, Init she suddenly decided to lake the afternoon train for Cabot in order to superintend the last Saturday issue of The ‘Times under her editorship. Perhaps Al. who was her advertising man, would continue the paper, hut if he didn't she would simply close it up and sell at the first chance. She looked around al the people in the train, hut she did not like them. They tired her. She was uncertain of what she did want until it suddenly flashed upon her. She wanted to sit before a blazing lire with Alice on her lap and listen to Mrs. Foster tell of Mrs. Andrew’s chickens. The next morning she sal at her desk by the window with her pen poised over a letter to the editor in New York. She had written: “After duly considering your proposition I have decided that- ” She knew then she had not decided that she would accept and she looked out of the window, up the hill where she discovered that the bright sun was turning the grass green and that the gray firs stood lip against a bright blue sky dotted with fleecy white V e s t , Continued clouds. A robin was building a nest in a tree nearby and painters, half way up the hill, were applying a coat of snowy white paint to the grayest house of all. Utile Alice Foster came running down the street with a bunch of yellow dandelions in her hand. A smile came over Anne’s face and she finished her sentence. “I have decided that I must refuse your oiler. There is work and opportunity here that I must not neglect and friends that I will not.” A sentence she had read in her magazine on the train the evening before came to her mind. “It’s not the color of the vest that matters, hut the color of the heart underneath. “Here their vests are gray, but their hearts are bright, while in New York it is just the other way. I am going to look al hearts after this. Oh. Al. if you are going to the poslolTice will you mail this letter for me? Oh. yes! and I’ve something to tell you. Ve are going to run a fashion page in The “Times.” 1 think the women here in Cabot will enjoy it. L o s r Second Prize Story SHIRLEY PECK— 15 (il’KSS 1 won’t go with Barbara any more. said Dick complacently, “she’s a pretty girl and I like her, hut she is a punk dancer, she doesn’t make good candy, and she laughs too much. Anyway, a high school junior shouldn't expect attention from a college man. When I gel down to school I’ll pick out the best looking, most popular girl there, and I’ll go with her. His mother smiled and said nothing. She was very proud of her handsome, athletic young son, and his self-assurance only amused her. His sister, Katherine, however, viewed the matter with less calmness. Is that so. she retorted, “I wonder if it ever occurred to you that maybe it won’t be a case of your dropping Barbara, hut it may be just the other way. Ellen Browning told me yesterday that Barbara wasn’t going around with you from this lime on. Barbara said that she just hated that green necktie you insisted upon wearing, your mouth was too big and you were positively the most conceited fellow she ever knew. So there, smartie. Another thing, Dick, did you ever pause to think that when you have discovered the most popular girl in the college perhaps there will be others beside you who will desire her company. There might even be one whom she would prefer to you.” “I bet she’d take me if she got a chance, asserted Dick in a tone that he strove to make confident. As for that tale about Barbara, I suppose you manufactured it for the occasion—not that I would care if it was true. I should worry either way. I— He was interrupted by the entrance of his older brother, a tall lad with mischievous blue eyes, a large humorous mouth, a stubby nose and a fair skill. Ned Roberts had the power of making friends despite his tendency for practical jokes. Just now he was in an especially happy mood, which indicated that lie had some plan on foot. As he slammed the door he shouted: “Dick, you’d better go finish packing your trunk. We’ll have to catch the three o’clock train.” Bless you, Ned, said Mrs. Roberts with an amused smile, Dick has had that trunk packed for at least two weeks. The expressman will come after your baggage in a few minutes. You’d better gel your things on. for it is time you were going. As the boys were scrambling into the wraps, she continued: “Now, Dick, if you get sick send for me at once, and don’t forget to write me once a week and tell me the news. Look after your brother. Ned. and don't play any more jokes on him than you can help.” Dick gave his mother and sister a pcrfunelorx and embarrassed kiss, grabbed his suitcase and dashed forth with his brother Ned. The train had pulled in when they reached the station and soon they were well on their way. Richard was happy and excited, he felt that he was about to step into a new world, a world made chiefly of athletics, pretty girls, moonlight serenades and thrilling adventures. He listened eagerly to Ned’s easy conversation, which dealt chiefly with a certain young lady named Jean whose beauty, vivacity and charm had never, so it seemed, been equalled. All tin college hoys were willing victims and Ned cheerfully admitted that he was numbered among the wounded. He warned Richard that if he wished to preserve his heart intact he had better keep out of the girl’s way. Dick, however, was undismayed. and despite these warnings he began to look forward to seeing her. As lie sal silent in his seal and looked at the flying landscape, his vivid imagination began to portray their first meeting— perhaps he would rescue her from drowning or save her life by stopping a runaway horse. He could see her pretty face as with tears in her eyes she thanked him for his noble deed. He would stop her with a few modest, eloquent words and she—but just then the train came to a stop with a sharp jolt and put an end to his dreams. The brothers jumped from the train and Dick surveyed his surroundings with great interest. Ned, however, had seen them many times before, and so with a curl hurry up” he started from the station. “Hey, Ned!” shouted Richard, “aren’t you going to take a cab or go over in a machine?” “We can’t very well unless we wait an hour,” responded Ned. “You see no carriages or autos meet this train. Scarcely anyone ever conies at this time, so it wasn’t worth while for them to come over. We had better walk, I think. It’s only three or four miles, and you wouldn’t mind at all. Come on.” In the still beauty of the twilight another day was being laid to rest, and as Dick walked along the warm, dusty road the silence of the dusk seemed to bring a feeling of peace and well being to his heart. After a time they came to a division in the broad road, one branch running toward the sunset and on; winding its way to the north, where the evening shadows were falling. Dick paused for a moment. “What road?” he asked. Ned stopped short, then said: It's the one to the west, 1 guess. No, that’s not right. Let me see, it’s the north road. Yes, that’s the one.” Sure? Whatever we do we don’t want to get on the wrong road, Gosh! but you certainly are brilliant. I hope after I have been over this road a few times I'll know my directions bettor than you do. You really ought to carry a compass. Some day, my child, you’ll get lost on the main street of your home town.” That’s right. Dick, rub it in. I was just confused for a minute. This is the road all right. I hope so for your sake. If it isn’t your life insurance man takes a big risk. Let's hurry now. it’s getting late. (ice! Ned, it seems great to realh be here, actually here in the college town,” he exclaimed, with a rapturous intake of his breath. I feel—well, for mercy’s sake, what is the matter with you.” N—nothing.” Ned gasped faintly. “That is nothing much. 1—we—that is to say—oh! thundering guns what will we do?’ Cut the Sarah Bernhardt stutf and come across with what's hurting you, snapped his brother. There, there, Dick. Don't gel excited. Y—you see I’m afraid we are lost. I can’t place a single thing in this blamed town. We must have taken the wrong road.” Lost! What do you mean, you big simp, you infinitesimal sliver of nothing? So we’re stranded in a strange town?” I’m sorry, awfully sorry, but it looks that way. We’ll go to the restaurant for supper and then start back. It’s tough luck, hut it can't be helped. As Ned spoke he reached in his pocket for his purse. His mouth dropped open and when he drew out his hand it was empty. “(Ice whiz! I’ve lost my pocket book. You big idiot! If you’ve got any more pleasant surprises produce ’em. If you wern’t bigger than I am, there would be another death notice in tomorrow’s paper. Well, you got us into this scrape, what are you going to do now?” Don't ask me. Shut up a minute and let me think,” Ned said angrily, and after a pause of a few minutes he exclaimed: I have it—the very thing. Listen, because we will have to act quickly. You go hack to one of these houses and pretend we are beating our way to the next town. Tell them you’d like something to eat and something to carry to your brother, who is loo bashful to come in. It will he great fun.” Wow! You prince of ignoramuses, dream on. Do you think I would go begging just because you didn’t know enough to find your way over a perfectly familiar road? So you'll wait out here, will you, while I go in and do the prodigal son act? Well, it will be a hot day in January when I do. Oh! come. Dick, be a sport! I can’t very veil go to the door. This place is so near the college that I’d be very liable to run into some acquaintance. Nobody here is familiar with your handsome counlc- 24 S E N I 0 R N U M B E R Lost, Conti n u c d nonce. If you will do this I'll introduce you to Jean Clinton. Any fellow would go through lire and water for a chance like that. Is it a go? “There’s my hand, responded his brother with great promptness, “which house shall I tackle.” “I’d go to that big white one over there if I were you. It looks rather friendly, and as if its inmates might take pity on two stranded innocents. You had better hurry so we can gel started back.” As Dick disappeared around the house Ned fell hack upon the grass, helpless with laughter. At last he managed to gasp: “Too easy, too easy.” In the meantime Dick made his way to the back door and. having summoned all his courage, rappe I feebly, lie did not look up as the floor opened, but mumbled a few words about “a bite to eat.” Won't you come in a minute?” inquired a feminine voice, so marvelously sweet and musical that instinctively Hichard raised his eyes. He dropped them immediately and a dull red glow slowly ovei -spread his countenance. “Matilde,” said the vision to the maid, please get some food for Mr.—” Brown, said Dick quickly. There’s some cold chicken and lots of other things in the refrigerator, Matilde. I got them for my spread, but we can prepare a few for—Mr. Brown. While you get them I'll make him some ehocolab . Did you say your brother was waiting outside? calmly inquired the young lady. Yes. said Dick, and again he flushed as he met a pair of mischievous brown eyes. The dimples came and went in the girl’s cheeks. She was sure that this was Ned Huberts’ brother, for there was a marked resemblance between the two, and besides she was well acquainted with Ned’s propensity for practical jokes and knew that he would lose no opportunity to trick his freshman brother. She liked a joke herself, and although she felt sorry for Dick, she could not resist the temptation to tease him. She seated herself on the opposite side of the kitchen table and began to pour bis chocolate. “What is your line of work?” she asked in an interested tone. Bricklayer. said Dick, desperately gulping down a piece of pie. “Oh! Is it hard to obtain work this fall?” she inquired, leaning on her elbows and cupping her chin in one while hand. Yep, said Dick, with more force than elegance, as he hastily arose. Thank you very much for your kindness. Miss, and, grabbing his bundle, he rushed headlong from the house. He found Ned sitting on the lawn and together they walked down the quiet street. Suddenly before their eyes there stretched a mighty park with many large buildings all ablaze with light. Dick stared in amazement, a queer uncertain feeling stirred in his heart. He looked at Ned with great intentness. Suspicion filled his mind, and when Ned began to laugh he could restrain himself no longer. Ned. w—what are these buildings? They look almost like c—college buildings. he began in a low, shaky voice, as the significance of his brother’s laughter came to him. You don’t mean that you have bamboozled me all along and all this time we have been in the right place—oh gosh!” Exactly, dear brother! I congratulate you upon your remarkable perceptive powers, (lee! It seemed too good to work, hut you bit. You sure are the original sucker. And the house where I went begging—what was that—ITexy’s residence?” growled the enraged Dick. “Calm yourself and prepare for the worst. It was the sorority house of the most aristocratic set of girls in the school. Dick said nothing, for obviously there was nothing to he said, but lie kicked himself figuratively speaking and made secret vows of eternal vengeance against his brother. At length his curiosity conquered his pride and resentment, and summoning his voice from the depths to which it had sunk, he said: “Who was the girl—John I). Hockefeller’s daughter I suppose? “Ah! So there's a girl in the case. The plot thickens. She was probably prowling in the kitchen looking for something for a spread. What did she look like?” I don't know,” answered Dick, but as he spoke the picture of the girl came before him. She had big. brown eyes, dimples, teeth and hair, and oh! I can’t describe her, but she looked all right, believe me. She was a queen, and just look what a simp 1 made of myself.” Cheer up, she’ll forgive you and like you all the better. I wonder who it was—do you suppose—? Say. I’ll bet that was Jean Clinton. When she wrote to Katherine last week she said she was going to give a spread tonight. This is rich! “Jean Clinton—I wonder, said Dick, and he remembered the shadowy dimples in her cheeks, the quick glances from her dark eyes and the flash of her white teeth. Maybe she didn’t utterly despise him even if he had been tricked like a silly little fool. Perhaps, in time, she would even come lo like him— Four years later, when the girls at Jean Clinton’s announcement party gathered around her and demanded the story of the happy couple’s first meeting, there was a whimsical smile around Jean’s mouth as she arose in response to their clamor. “Girls, I wouldn’t dare tell you about it.” she said laughing happily, “all your romantic ideals would be shattered. You see—Dick and 1 met in the kitchen.” S E N I O R N U M K E R 2.'� An Ultra-Modern S t o r y Third Prize Story WALTER WILLIAM WILLING. oratory. IMMIK ami I sat reading one of those modern stories from a modern magazine. We had the hahit of reading to each other because James intended to enter Oherlin in the fall and take up Now reading was a privilege allowed to deckhands only when oil' duty, and the bos'n on the steamer Harvard had an idea that “readin’ never got no work done.” We had reading down to a line art. simply attach a string to the book and to the porthole cover. So. I read to James I), in an undertone while he listened for the bos’n with one ear and for the words with the other. The hero was arrested for two or three impossible crimes, committed by the villain. The case being tried, the heroine had made her plea for her lover’s life, and now the foreman of the jury enters the courtroom. Silence reigns supreme. The serious man cleared his throat and “Duck it!” So I slammed the magazine through the port-hole, grabbed the paint brush and made motions that would have made Jesse Willard look like a 19(M Ford. And then—the porter came down to get a pan of onions. We painted his shoes, laid down the innocent implements of labor, and J. Dean proceeded to resurrect the Heart’s magazine, while I regained my comfortable position. But—there was no magazine. We had not tied the cord to the ship. “Darn good story,” says James. Only one more word and she was finished,” I added. ‘ “Wonder what that word was, James Dean said characteristically. So we wondered and guessed all the way up the lakes and down again. At Milwaukee J. I). Price tried to go ashore to gel a Heart’s, but the mate was grouchy. Nothing was left for us to do hut to wonder what that one word was, upon which the whole story hinged. What a brain it must have issued from! We would lie in our hunks and exchange opinions and reasons for such opinions, hut to no conclusion. We arrived at Fairporl, and J. D. went up to the hamlet to “procure a pamphlet periodically produced and published, termed the Heart’s, hut he returned with a pair of socks and a displeasing idea of Fairporl. Well, we made another revolution, and coming down the rivers Mr. Price made a remark to the effect that some nice man would he taking a job on the Harvard if he didn’t get a chance to procure a Heart’s. I held up my hands in horror, that the Steel Trust Company should lose such a valuable assistant. We pulled into Ashtabula about daybreak. The bos’n handed James Dean Price a red-covered, much-mie gave him lifteen Lincolns with instructions to drop into Christensen’s. We had just finished taking olT hatches when the bos’n handed ames Dean Price a red-covered, much-thought-of magazine. There was a flutter of pages, and you can imagine the look on two sweaty, windblown faces when we found the page and read that much-hated, foreboding word: “Continued” “How did you puncture your lire?” “Ban over a milk bottle.” “Didn't you see it in time ?’’ “Naw; the kid had it in his pocket.” First Mexican Senorita—“She is of a very good family.” Second Mex.

Our teams won both debates on the subject, Hesolved: That the Monroe Doctrine Should be Repudiated,” our home team getting a unanimous decision, while our negative team defeated their opponents by a vote of two to one. In the annual Junior-Senior debate held on December 17. 1011, the Juniors, Clifton Sanborn and Jane Dickenson, defeated the Senior team, Murray Cook and Carl Hobishaw, two to one with the negative side of the question, Resolved: That the United States Should Materially Increase Her Army and Navy.” In the second meeting of the Northeastern Debating League, the three schools divided honors, each school winning one debate. The debates were held a re Team on April 23, 1015, the question being, Hesolved: That the (iovermnent of the United States Should Own and Operate All Telegraph and Telephone Lines.” This question seemed appropriate, as it has attracted a great deal of attention in Congress, while this plan has been advocated by several postmaster generals. All three debates were hotly contested throughout. Warren being the only school to get a unanimous decision. At present Ashtabula stands first, having won three of the four debates, Warren losing three of the four and Youngstown having won one and lost one. The team which went to Youngstown this year, Murray Cook, Clifton Sanborn, Martha Stone, with Flora Munson as alternate, lost a hard fought debate with the negative side of the question, the judges deciding in favor of South High by a vote of two to one, while our affirmative team, composed of Carl Hobishaw, Jane Dickenson. Henry Smith, with Hull) Harrington as alternate, won at home by the same score. The six debaters will receive gold medals for their work. Three of the debaters graduate this year, leaving Jane Dickenson, Clifton Sanborn and Martha Stone to uphold Ashtabula in the debate next year. 27 SENIOR N U M HER F o o r A GRAND SUCCESS HE FOOTBALL season this year is the best one A. It. S. ever had. We only tied in the county championship with the North End contenders. In the first Maine played with Harbor they were humbled, 2f to 0. This left the two teams lied for the county flag1, because earlier in the season A. II. S. dropped a game to Geneva. Then came the deciding game. Harbor scored first in the second quarter and failed goal. Ashtabula’s touchdown came in the third quarter when Bixler pulled one of the “brainiest” plays for which he was noted all season. On this play he crossed the goal and McDonald failed goal. The score remained the same all the rest of the game and the championship is jointly held by the two schools. OUR RECORD Alumni . 3( A. II.

Before his arrival as athletic coach in our school a basket ball team representing . II. S. was considered a joke. Now our team stands in the first division in the County League. The team this year, with the exception of Sweet, was entirely new. By hard work and fast playing, the boys got away with the lion’s share of their games. Nine straight victories is a record any team can be proud of. Sweet was the only veteran on the team. Captain Smith. J. Stewart. Ford. Aunger. W. Stewart and Bice have played on the Y. M. C.
