To most of us, it is the name of our school, and that is all: and we know little of Beaumont's life and why much honor is due him. He began his eventful career on No- vember 12, 1785, in Lebanon, Connecti- cut. Surprisingly little is known of his boyhood tendencies, excepting that fear- lessness and courage were always predomi- nant qualities. In his puritanical country home, his opportunities seemed few. Farm- ing and church going were not entirely to his liking: so, prompted by restless am- bition to enlarge his field of usefulness and gain a wider knowledge of the world, he left his home when he was twenty-one years old, and went to Champlain, a small New York village. For three years, there in the little red schoolhouse, he taught the lads and lassies the fundamental prin- ciples of readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmeticf' He was a very serious-minded young man. While teaching school, and also tending a store, he found time to study medical books: but there was no physician in Champlain whom he considered worthy of being his preceptor: so he Went to St. Al- bans, Vermont. There he studied under Dr. Benjamin Chandler, a prominent and capable practitioner. Young Beaumont was keenly observant and trulv devoted to the science of medi- cine. With the successful completion of his two years of apprenticeship, he was granted a license to practice. Only three months after the declaration of the War of 1812 he volunteered, and was immediately received into the army as an assistant-surgeon, and he was commissioned by President Madison in December, 1812. He fought in many thrilling battles, and not only displayed his patriotism, but put into immediate practice his medical knowledge. He resigned from the army in 1815 and entered into a successful partnership with Dr. Senter, an army surgeon, in the town of Plattsburg, where he already had hosts of friends and a well-earned professional reputation. When the medical corps of the army was reorganized in 1819, he was offered a position in the surgeon-general's office. He had been offered a 351,000 clerkship, but his ideas of activity turned from the clerkship to the call of the army, He was stationed at Fort Mackinac, and his let- ters describe most interesting experiences. lt is very evident, from references in his diary, that he was deeply interested in something besides his work at Mackinac. His dreams were realized when he wended his way back to Plattsburg, and was mar- ried to Deborah Platt, a beautiful, sympa- thetic young woman of much culture and great strength of character. They estab- lished a little home in the old fort, and in due time a little girl was born to them who brought loving cheerfulness into their lives. big boy. ln 1822 a tragedy occurred that was to its imprint on the pages of history Later this little daughter became sister to another little girl and a leave for all time to come. A throng of voy- agers, villagers, and Indians had gathered Nine Xl l i 'i E ' 1 - 4, V an wr , H- ,, ,, f Yi ' jE?aLgg, ply ,g:'?? Aff' :E X T I-I E C A D U C E U S in the store of the American Fur Company to buy or sell buckskins, moccasins, flan- nels, and gaudy neckbands, when of a sudden a gun was accidentally discharged. The victim was St. Martin Alexis, a French Canadian. In the left side of his chest, at the sixth rib, a hole was torn, so large that the lung protruded, and also the stomach, with a hole in it large enough to admit a forefinger. After months of care, although bone, cartilage, and soft tissues sloughed away, the man recovered, but the stomach was tightly adhered to the ab- dominal walls, and still had a large hole in it. This case developed, and, two years later, Beaumont began a series of experi- ments on the properties of the stomach, effects of mastication and insalivation, and the comparative digestibility of different articles of food. These experiments were published in 1833 in a book entitled Experiments and Observations on the Gastric Juice, and the Physiology of Diges- tion, and immediately the book was translated into French and German. The full importance of his work can be seen when one considers the fact that, up to this time, the knowledge of digestion was very meager and uncertain, and that, with the exception of the discovery of pepsin, the closest research of modern times has added little to the facts established by him. In 1840, his brilliant military career of more than twenty-five years was termi- nated. He established a large and lucrative practice in St. Louis, living in a beautiful country home situated in a section now between Jefferson Avenue and Beaumont Street fnear Olive Streetj, and enjoyed it so much that he spoke of it as follows: A few things only seem wanting to make it a paradise. Beaumont was prominent in the St. Louis Medical Society, serving as president in 1841. His final years found him still devoted to his family, his friends, and his work, from which he passed away in March, 1853, as a result of a fall on the icy pave- ment after a late visit to a patient. Few make Dilgrimages to his grave in Bellefon- taine Cemetery, yet there, with his wife's, lie the remains of a unique and remark- able man. A4 - A ix Ten SITE OF BEAUIVIONT By PETER BRAROE WISH it were possible to name incidents thrilling with historical signiiicance that have occurred on K the site of Beaumont, but in so far as I am enabled to determine, there were no Indian massacres, no battles, nor even noted residences, or other details of like interest to which we can point proudly as hoary traditions of our possession. Never- theless, the school stands on ground suffi- ciently varied in its habitation. Once the plot was a part of the vast Henri Chouteau estate that bordered on the Lindell place to the East. Some Hfty years or more ago the virgin soil was dis- turbed to become a truck farm, a rural manufactory of vegetables for St. Louis. Thereon it continued until the advent of the city's first baseball magnate, Von Der Abe, who established on it a baseball park for the use of his own team. While the place was yet new, another man of enter- prise, Foster, induced the owner to allow him to open a race track and a chute-the- chutes, and to make it a general amusement center in correlation. It must have been a busy, thriving insti- tution, indeed. In the afternoons the ball games were carried on, At night you would perceive bright and shining lights: you would hear a gay uproar and feminine shrieks from the chute-the-chutes, That, I might say, was a steep inclined railway with a large flat boat that rushed down to skim over a pool of water. All of the horse racing happened at night, a novel custom, -The Browns' Baseball Team began at Grand and Dodier, Sportsman's Park in the eighties, It moved to Vandeventer and Natural Bridge in '92 or '93. It played there under the name of the Browns until '99, when it was purchased by Robinson and the name changed to Cardinals. About live years ago the National League abandoned the ground and moved to Sportsman's Park. A real estate company improved the ground to the extent of sewers and a paved street through the center and constructed two houses at the western end. The project was left unfinished when the Board of Education bought it for its present com- mendable purpose. Eleven WILBUR N. FULLER v 7rPi'W.I-11,413 EJ ? - I.. T H E C A D U C E U S MR. WILBUR N. FULLER By VIRGINIA QUICK HOUGH Grand Rapids, Michigan, Ways has a world-wide reputation as a furniture center, it should have a F' 'fr deeper meaning for the pupils of Beaumont High, for it is the birthplace of our principal, Mr. Wilbur N. Fuller. Michigan, too, is noted for the high stand- ard of her public schools, and it is with great pride that Mr. Fuller can say he at- tended them. He was a pupil in the grade school and the Central High School, and graduated from the latter at the age of seventeen years. Still in pursuit of educa- tion, he attended the University of Michi- gan, where he specialized in the natural sciences. While at the University he taught as an assistant-instructor in the Zoological laboratory, ln 1904 he came to St. Louis with the opening of Yeatman High School. Mr. Fuller was connected with Yeat- man throughout its creditable career as a High School from September, 1904, to February 1, 1926, and contributed largely to the school spirit of Yeatman. Mr. Fuller has the quality of leadership, and this trait was soon recognized by those with whom he came into contact. He progressed rapidly to the honorable posi- tions of second-assistant in 1906: first- assistant in 1910: head-assistant in 1911: acting assistant-principal in September, 1918: regular assistant-principal, March 29, 1923: and principal May 8, 1923. While at Yeatman, Mr. Fuller taught various sciences, including physiography and physics. He also coached various ath- letics: tennis, basketball, track, and foot- ball. A large number of the Yeatman Cups that are on display in the cases at Yeat- man were won by teams that he coached He was also sponsor of a number of or- ganizations in addition to that of the senior class. Mr. Fuller has been a repre- sentative for a number of years in the High School League, which he, with the help of another teacher, organized. He was trans- ferred February, 1926, from the principal- ship of Yeatman to the same position in the new Beaumont High School. We have put complete trust in him, for we know that he will make Beaumont respected throughout the city for its high ideals. BEAUMONT HIGH SCHOOL By WILBUR N. FULLER N February the first, the long looked for event took place and the doors of the Beaumont High 'u ' 'l School were thrown open to the young people of the largest high school district in the City of St. Louis. After we had passed the outer doors into its beauti- ful entrance, we paused in wonder, because its magnificence was overwhelming and gave such wonderful promises of what might be in store for us. Soon we were gasping at the size and stateliness of our Auditorium and its stage gymnasium. Our first journey about our new home was a Thirteen ici , .. we x v .1. eff-' J - ,, , ,A , f V Q f M, ,4wxRQQ:'-JST-Ffa , , Mi lo smsdfn.-aight-ws ? l B 'lm' l l yr .1 T I-I E C A most enlightening one and at its conclu- sion, we were Hrmly convinced that for- tune had been most kind to us. The first day or two, both students and faculty felt their newness, but the feeling soon disappeared and was replaced by the desire to make the name of Beaumont stand not only for the largest and finest building in St. Louis, but for the most loyal and co-operative school spirit to be D U C E U S found anywhere. As a result, most of us have found real happiness at Beaumont and we are looking forward to the future with the keenest realization of the won- derful opportunities association with Beau- mont will afford us individually and, through us, the community in which it stands. Dr. Beaumont became famous for his services to his fellowmen. May all Beaumonters Hnd happiness through serv- ice, xfx 1 Qi? fc-57,2'fSw -fv, ff'-'J xQ I f , ..., ,xy ' Sq. BJ..

U S F AIRGROUNDS PARK By HELEN KAHL HAT familiar spot, the one which ggi' we see and-passlevery school day, the one which gives our Beaumont a beautiful foreground, that spot we call The Fairgrounds, what do we know of its history? Perhaps we have never thought of Fairgrounds Park as any- thing but a park, extending from Grand to Fair and from Kossuth to Natural Bridge Avenues. Perhaps we have not as- sociated with it an interesting historic past. To most of us now it is a park, and we have no reason to believe it ever was other- wise. However, if we had lived forty or fifty years ago and had gone to the Pair Grounds, we would have found a very dif- ferent place from the present St. Louis public park. Let us visit the Pair Grounds as it was of old. After dismounting from the Mound City car we are confronted with a large iron fence. Paying the required ad- mission fee, we enter the grounds by the Grand Avenue entrance. We see the very lake upon which many of us have skated. Standing beside it, one sees the familiar bear pit, the only present remains. There are several other buildings in the park, as the House of Comforts, similar to an inn or hotel where meals are served: a monkey house, and several other booths where various things are exhibited. These build- ings are used for the frequent fairs, pic- nics, or circuses which are given there. In the center of the grounds we see the am- phitheater. Probably today we may see the great western trail blazer, Buffalo Bill himself, and his Indians perform on the quarter-mile track. Before us, we may ob- serve a mass of people gathered to see the ascent of a balloon, and then we excitedly await the descent of a woman in a parachute, Going on, we come to the one-mile race track situated between Fair and Prairie Avenues. We arrive at the grandstand just in time to hear the pages, exquisitely dressed in gold and silver, announce the beginning of the race. We observe surrounding the track countless stables sheltering, among others, our fa- vorite horse, which we hope will win. After enjoying our visit immensely, we retreat through the Pair Avenue entrance. The large red boulder which is near the pool was erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1910. The stone marks the location of the Hrst fair held west of the Mississippi River, in the year 1856, by the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association. Pairs were held annually from 1856 to 1861, when they ceased to exist because the United States troops occupied the grounds. However, after the evacuation by the soldiers, the fairs continued to be held until 1903. The last race held in the Pair Grounds was the World's Fair Handicap in 1904. It was then felt that the city would be greatly benefited by purchasing the Fair Grounds. ln 1908 it was acquired from Mr. Pilles for the sum of seven hundred thousand dollars. Reconstruction was im- mediately begun. The old fence, which many boys had tried to climb, was re- moved: the buildings and dead trees were taken down, and concrete bridges were built over the lagoon. By April 16, 1911, the new park was opened to the public. Thus our present Fair Grounds was estab- lished, offering amusements of various sorts to the public and creating for Beau- mont a campus perhaps unsurpassed in this state. Fifteen ALBERT H.

HUNTINGTON By HELEN TIEFENBRUNN whom do these remarks .remind MQ514 you 1- You must succeed in your JQQQQ, studies in order to succeed in the i 'h worldf' This reminds me of a story: There was a city cousin visiting us in the country, etc., etc.? Yes, you've guessed it. The person of whom I speak is Mr. Albert H. Huntington, our assistant- principal. Although you have learned a few things about Mr, Huntington's life through the stories that he has told to us in the audi- torium, I am sure that you want to know more. Our assistant-principal was born on a farm in Baldwinsville, New York, on Sep- tember 24, 1879, and there he grew up. He began his education in a country district school, where he remained until he went to Baldwinsville Academy, As the school was a distance from his home. he had to drive a horse five and one-half miles each way. Connected with these daily drives was a young lady. It hap- pened that her father, who was a neighbor, furnished the horse half of the time, while Mr. Huntington's father furnished it the other half. This partnership means of Seven teen VW: S J QT wt- , fl 'Tl '92 f 'll ll ,M C ' I H il gaf ll T H E. C A D U C E U S transportation involved the doubtful pleasure of escorting the neighbor's daugh- ter to the seat of learning. Sometimes this pleasure was more than doubtful. Just think how much better a Ford would have been! As a boy, Mr. Huntington had another responsibility. He was expected to act as mailman, since there was no rural delivery at that time. For this service he received pay but once. A poverty-stricken young woman gave him five cents and two letters. She asked him to buy the stamps for the letters and mail them. Yes, she let him keep the change. In June, l898, he graduated from the Baldwinsville Academy. He was the presi- dent and valedictorian of his class. He received a Blue Seal Diploma from the Re- gents' Department of New York State. This was the first honor of its kind given to a graduate of the academy. ln the spring of l898 he took a com- petitive examination and won a scholar- ship to Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. He attended this University for four years, working his way through. He tried for a place on the first crew, but made the second. He was attending Cornell when the Varsity made at Poughkeepsie the world's record, still unbroken, for a four-mile race. He was elected a mem- ber of the Sigma Xi Society, an honorary scientific fraternity. He graduated from Cornell in 1902. ln the fall of the same year he began teaching at Ardmore, Pennsylvania, in the Lower Merian High School. After two years, he was awarded a graduate scholar- ship from the University of Pennsylvania, but resigned in order to come to St. Louis to teach in Central High School, where Eighteen he stayed until l9l7. In September of that year, he was made the assistant- principal of the Ben Blewett Junior High School. A year later he went to New York City, where he taught in the Lincoln School of Teachers' College for one year. From there he went to the Silver Bay School for Boys, where he remained for two years. During this time he spent the summers in Teachers' College of Columbia University in New York, and he received the degree of M. A. in the summer of 1921. The following fall he came back to St. Louis and taught for nearly two years: served as assistant-principal in Cleveland High School. In 1926, as we all know, he was transferred with us to the new Beaumont High School. Mr. Huntington has taught in Harris Teachers' College both in extension work and in summer sessions. Mr. Huntington is married and has three sons and a little daughter. The two older boys, Donald and Wendell, have graduated from Cleveland High School, and now both are students at Cornell Uni- versity. Donald is a Junior and Wendell is a Sophomore. Albert Jr. is a student at Webster Groves High School. Mr. Huntington belongs to many so- cieties, some of which are as follows: The Missouri State Teachers' Association, the Mathematical Association of America, the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science, the Central Association of Science and Mathematics Teachers, the Mathematics Club of St. Louis, the Na- tional Education Association, the Asso- ciation of Secondary School Principals, and the National Society for the Study of Education.

The registration at the Central for the second quarter of 1903 and 1904 was 25953 the registra- tion for the second quarter of 1904-1905 in the Central, the McKinley and the Yeat- man High Schools was 3070, distributed as follows: Central 1695, McKinley 822, Yeatman 553, a growth of 475 pupils. In the second quarter of 1905-1906, the reg- istration in the three high schools was 3337: in Central 1546, in McKinley 1017, in Yeatman 774, altogether a growth of 267, The growth was con- stant and by 1921, in spite of changes of boundary necessitated by increased num- bers, the registration of the Yeatman had reached 1542. For some years, it had been cvident that a new high school must be built to relieve the overcrowding which prevented pupils living north and west of the Yeatman from attending that school, although within walking distance of it. On January 17, 1922, a recommenda- tion was made by the Joint, Committee on Instruction and Finance that a new senior high school be erected for the relief of the Yeatman High School, on a parcel of ground bounded on the north by Natural Bridge Avenue, on the east by Prairie Avenue, on the south by the alley south of Lexington Avenue, and on the west by Vandeventer Avenue. lt was further recommended that the Commissioner of School Buildings be di- rected to prepare preliminary sketch plans and specifications for this building and to submit them to the Board at the earliest opportunity. Both these recommendations were adopted, On June 13, 1922, the purchase of the site known as Cardinal Park from the St, Louis National Baseball Club for 3212000.00 was reported to the Board by the Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. Chas. P. Mason. On July ll, 1922, the preliminary drawings and description for a Senior High School were presented by R. M. Milligan, Commissioner of School Build- ings, and he was authorized and instructed to prepare the necessary contract, drawings, and specifications and to solicit bids, under the rules of the Board, for the construction of the building. The site purchased is 10,6 acres in extent, has a frontage of 635'5M on Natural Bridge Avenue and a depth on Prairie Avenue of 672'0 . The northwest corner of the block, having a frontage of 225' on Vandeventer Avenue and 63' on Natural Bridge Avenue, is the property of the United Railways Company and is used as a terminus loop. The building as planned has a frontage of 378' and an extreme depth of 327'. lt is three stories high and the first floor is 12' above the grade of Natural Bridge Avenue. There are three entrances on the first floor and six on the ground floor. The main entrance is on the central axis of the building. The cubical content of the building is 5,000,000 cubic feet. There are four double stairways from the ground floor to the third floor, and Nineteen A QT' f - l f, X ciuytolwuif MN iCCi?f' l gf ' W U' ' , J, fi-'sf 3 i V' i f r, .

Back of the proscenium arch, the stage extends forty feet, having an area of 4O'x80', while in front of the arch, it extends fifteen feet, having an area of l5'x6O'. A steel curtain may be lowered just back of the proscenium arch separating the auditorium from the stage gymnasium. This stage gymnasium is connected by doors with two other gymnasia. These two gymnasia are fully equipped with lad- ders, rings, swinging poles, stall bars and other apparatus, while the stage gymna- sium is equipped with stall bars, and goals for basketball. There is a swimming pool 24'x6O' with dressing rooms and showers for girls and boys, The lockers are located in the corridors and connect with the ventilation system. They are fiush with the wall surface. The library is on the second floor and connects with rooms on either side by means of a door. The music room is on the third floor and has a seating capacity of 300 pupils. The administration suite consists of five connecting offices: the Principal's Office, the Dean's Office, the Doctor's Office, the Assistant Principal's Office, and the large general office with work room and vault for storage of valuable papers. There are forty-five class rooms having a capacity of 45 pupils each, thirty re- citing, Hfteen studying. There are nine science laboratories: one for Botany, con- necting with a conservatory into which it opens: one for Physiology, two for Gen- eral Science, two for Physics, one for Chemistry, one for Physiography, one for Geography, and adjacent to each of these laboratories is a demonstration room. There are three rooms for art drawing Twenty with store rooms adjacent and three me- chanical-drawing rooms with store rooms and a blue-print room adjacent. The Domestic Science group comprises a cooking room and pantry, a housekeep- ing suite consisting of kitchen, pantry, din- ing room, living room and bathroom, two sewing rooms with fitting room adjacent. each furnished with sixteen double tables provided with an electric sewing machine and an electric iron, and one of them sup- plied also wth equipment for laundry work-stationary tubs, ironing boards and electric irons, electric washing machine, drying apparatus and electric mangle. The lunch room is large enough to accommodate fifteen hundred persons at once. It is located on the ground fioor and is arranged for double service. For the Manual Training department, six ample shops are provided, each having a capacity of thirty pupils: one Joinery Shop 97'x29', one Pattern Making and Turning Shop, 74'x29', one Molding Shop 97'x29', one Forge Shop 97'x29', one Machine Shop 97'x54', one Auto- mechanics Shop 84'x29'. The Commercial department consists of three bookkeeping rooms and three type- writing rooms. Teachers' retiring rooms are provided on each floor. In the fourth floor or tower, there are Eve rooms. one of them designed for band and orchestra practice. Back of the school building is a field 245' wide x 699' long, intended for foot- ball, baseball, and track and field athletics, and on either side a space of 327'xl28' for other outdoor sports, such as tennis and hockey. On November 14, l922, it was recom- mended that the new high school to be erected on what was known as the Car- dinal Field be named the Beaumont High School. This recommendation was laid fm r fl? if . A r o t 'f'tti' F llillliif l l -2.1 2 , Q -if Jig, ,W ' T H E C A D U C E U S over under the rules of the Board of Edu- cation until the meeting of December 12, when it was unanimously adopted, Perhaps nothing could indicate more clearly or strikingly the growth of the educational system of St. Louis, and especially of its high school system, which has far outstripped the city's growth in population, than a comparison of the Beaumont High School building with the Hrst high school building erected in St. Louis. This Hrst building was completed in 1856, three years after the establishment of the first high school in 1853, and was located on the northeast corner of Fifteenth and Olive Streets, on a lot 150'xl06'6 , which cost 317,950.00 The extreme depth of the building from front to back was l04'4 and its extreme width was 84', including towers and transepts, The body of the building was 84'x67' and its main height was 71C Its cubical contents were approximately 400,000 cubic feet. lt was designed to accommodate 400 pupils, There were four rooms on the first floor and four rooms on the second floor. On the third floor was an auditorium 82'x64' seating 700. This room was used for classes in chorus music and also for phys- ical training. In the basement was one class room and a science laboratory. Prob- ably the first high school chemistry labora- tory in the United States was later installed in this room. The cost of this building was 347,186.16 and of the furnaces for heating it 81750.00 On each side of the building was a yard 30'x90'. The character of this building, how- ever. as judged by the standards of the time of its construction will appear from a quotation taken from the annual report of July, 1855, which reads as follows: The magnificent New High School edifice is drawing near completion and when it is completed, St. Louis can boast of a model school edifice, one not exceeded if equaled in the United States. In the interior ar- rangements, it contains not only all the modern improvements and conveniences in school house architecture, but several en- tirely new features. In exterior appearance, it is one of the most imposing structures in the country, and if the organization pre- scribed for it and the course proposed in it are faithfully carried out, there will be no literary institution. whether public or private. that will give such an extensive, thorough, and practical education to the rising generation. Among the most encouraging features of the age is the munificent appropriations for the higher grade of school edifices. Boston and New York have high school edinces that cost, including the lots on which they stand, S80,000,00. Philadel- phia, exclusive of the lot, 543,000.00 Cincinnati. SZ8.000.00, Toledo, 332,- 0O0.00. lt would not require a great stretch of imagination for the reader of this quota- tion to suppose that the Beaumont High School was in the mind of the writer. The city of St. Louis has been specially favored all through the years in having at the head of its schools men of broad vision and democratic conception of the meaning and function of the public schools, men who really believed in the fundamental prin- ciples of public education designed to pre- pare youth for self-realization and for participation in creating, conserving, and developing a truly democratic social order, men who saw that the establishment and preservation of a democratic state was de- pendent upon the freest, fullest oppor- tunities for the education of each indi- vidual child. Entrance to the High School from the eighth grade of the elementary school, at that time, depended upon written examina- tions in writing, geography, arithmetic, grammar, history and constitution of the United States. The High School curricu- lum included English, language and litera- Twenty-one G'TlJ i af fi ft Vaseeco i eafffa fl if ei i tiluj e if ijt gt T H E C A D U C E U S turafforeign languages.

Zoology, botany, geology, chemistry, as- tronomy, mental and moral sciencef mathematics, algebra, geometry, trigonom- etry. analytical geometry, calculus, men- suration. mechanics, engineering, book- keeping. A comparison of these subjects with those now taught in the high schools will show the absence of manual arts subjects and stenography which were of later intro- duction, By the opening of the Beaumont High School with its admirable accommodations designed to facilitate in every way the ad- vancement of those who are so happy as to be privileged to enjoy them, a new stage in the realization of the vision of the far- sighted. public-spirited men of 1853 and the years following has been reached. They laid broad and deep the foundations of public education, which they thought and declared should be commensurate with the needs of all children and youth seeking to develop their native endowment of body and mind and should not be excelled by institutions privately endowed and acces- sible only to a limited number of children. Pupils of the Beaumont High School, heirs of the stout-hearted, far-seeing. broad-minded men who have planned and established and directed the public school system of St. Louis, I congratulate you and invoke your aid in carrying forward the work by them begun. So use your opportunities and influence that your debt of gratitude may be repaid many times over to those who come after you. V X , ,..,,.., .... . ..

C A D U C E U S CADUCEUS By PETER BRAROE ll the advisory period, on March 17, Beaumont selected by bal- lot a name for the semi-annual -7 publication. The decision was overwhelmingly in favor of Caduceus. The record of voting was as follows: Ca- duceus, 1244: Mercury, 185: Record l72: Beaumonter, ll6. The qualities which commended the name to the stu- dents are several and evident. First among them is its appropriateness. That-as does the word itself-needs explanation to all. or nearly all: there, forthwith, is another excellence, a flavor of the mysterious. Back in the halcyon days when Apollo, Hermes Calias Mercuryj, and others of their ilk enjoyed a sportive existence, there we must inquire for the origin. Mount Olympus was once the scene of a very modern transaction, The mentioned representatives of the gods exchanged two gifts, one to the other: both for the con- sequent benefit of mankind. Mercury gave Apollo the lyre, the beginning of musical instruments, Apollo gave Mercury the caduceus, which was in its original form an olive branch with two shoots. The presentations were each suitable: to the god of music, the lyre: to the mes- senger of the gods, the symbol of his of- fice. Mercury, it appears, was of a pacific and conciliatory disposition. He used his staff to separate a pair of fighting snakes, and the belligerents twined themselves about it, unwillingly held in check. Thereafter, the snakes were substituted for the original fork. Two wings were later afflxed to the head of the rod to designate the swiftness of Mercury. In general, Caduceus came to be the appellation of a herald's staff, but its use by the gods was believed to have these attributes. Mercury awoke the dead and conducted them to Hades with it. It was the magic wand which was the means of granting wealth and prosperity: it turned whatever it touched into gold. Here, now, is the significance of this myth to us. At one time in its history the medical profession took for its symbol the caduceus, particularly in the army, where it is the official emblem of the medical corps fpresumably because of its reputed pow- ers over life and death of humanityj. Wil- liam Beaumont, in whose honor the school was named. was Surgeon-General of the United States Army. Thus the connection is entirely fitting. In passing, I might say something about the word itself. Undoubtedly its plural will be in colloquial use. The correct form, of course, is Caducei, since the word is a Latin adaptation of the Greek, but not- withstanding, I am certain that on the days of publication, in however distant years. the cry will be heard. The Caduceuses are coming out. Twenty-three F bd I-1 hs D U 41 u. u.1 CE E- J 'U 'A U' -in . -pf ,X 11 .0 if gif , I A U.V'Ni Jog! ,. HTG' 1-. L' SFR f .

U S The Caduceus Staff acknowledges with deep grati- tude, the indispensable assistance of the faculty of Beaumont High School. Whatever financial or literary success this first volume of the Caduceus may have is attributable to the cheerful help of the administrative officials, of the group advisers, of the club sponsors, of the art teachers, of the English teachers, and of the commercial teachers, Notwithstanding the increased class-room problems consequent to the inevitable delay in becoming adjusted in a new building, the members of the Faculty have graciously contributed much time and patient service in making possible this issue of the Caduceus. Therefore, the Caduceus Staff wishes the teachers of Beaumont High School to understand that their good will, their generous support, and their actual industry have been necessary agencies in creating this first volume. fi i '11 1: , J V l Maki?

T H E C A D U C E U S BEAUMONTS FRONT ENTRANCE By PETER BRAROE 1 W1 E all like to puff up and feel in- tense pride when we hear our 5,5335 school, city, state, or country i praised in comparison with other schools, cities, states, or countries. We keep our ears open for chance remarks or digni- fied eulogies, whether the laudatory com- ments be on the art of undertaking, the production of snuff, or the theatre, we en- joy a pleasant feeling. We are patriotic. Thus a certain detail in connection with our school surely must excite that feeling of superiority. The magnificent vestibule or entrance way to Beaumont is an object of extreme admiration to all who see it. It is, as you have perceived, entirely of marble. The stone is nearly all the product of Missouri quarries. This is remarkable considering the fact that Vermont has for so long occupied the prestige in that direc- tion. Missouri has been unknown in re- spect to its possession of a natural resource of marble. The blocks of marble in the broad first steps and the top landing are from Car- thage, in southwest Missouri. The walls and piers are from Ste. Genevieve. They are the kind known as Rose Marble. The tinted veins of this are delicately beautiful. The bases of the walls in the auditorium and in the corridors are grey marble from Phoenix, Missouri. The only marble in the school that is not of Missouri is the bottoms of the drinking fountains and treads in the vesti- bule. The black marble of the fountains is called 'iVerde Antique, and is from Vermont. The treads of the steps in the vestibule are also from Vermont, the Lake Champlain region. The placing of this marble in the buildf ing has been in the way of an experiment, introducing its use to the country. As such, it will be the subject of examination by many men who are concerned in a serious way with construction of this kind throughout the United States. ef ,l-' X u vgfgf' M 'WIRE 1... f .

The dedica- tion of schools such as ours does not hap- pen often. Both the auditorium and the stage were overcrowded with people. When we con- sider the condition of the weather, we must say that the people of North St. Louis cer- tainly made a wonderful showing at the opening of their new High School. Peo- ple came from all parts of St. Louis through the ice and snow to witness this event, YM91 present. of this The building was opened at seven o'clock for a general inspection. The vis- itors were allowed to go over the entire building and inspect it. The points of chief interest and comment were the trance to the building, the auditorium, the the the 911' machine and wood-working shops, swimming pool, the gymnasiums, chemistry and physics laboratories, and the lunch room. At seven-thirty the program on stage began. The first number was an ex- hibition of gymnastics given by the Boys' Gym Club, under the direction of Mr. Hans G. Lehrmann. The Gym Club marched on the of two buglers. the stage following the call The first part of this program was an interesting exhibition on the parallel bars, the horizontal bars, and the horses. Many pleasing remarks about this work were heard throughout the au- dience. Following this display was a dem- onstration of the electric torches by Doc Lehrmann. With all of the lights in the auditorium out, this feature had a very pleasing effect. The final scene of this act presented a wonderful stage effect, There were about ninety fellows on the stage, all arranged in pyramids and on the high parallels, This exhibition ended with a yell for Beaumont and for the Gym Club. The exhibition of gymnastics was fol- lowed by several pleasing numbers ren- dered by the Beaumont High School Or- chestra, under the direction of Mr. Birr. The program in the auditorium began at eight-thirty. A few opening remarks were made by Mr. William Hehmann, President of the Beaumont High School Patrons' Association. The meeting was then called to order by Mr. A. S. Werre- meyer, President of the North St. Louis Business Men's Association. The audience were asked to sing America They were led by Mr. Hahnel, Supervisor of Music Instruction in the St. Louis High Schools. The Honorable Victor J. Miller, Mayor of the City of St. Louis, was next intro- duced. Mr, Miller impressed it upon the audience that the high school was made by the parents, the teachers, the principal, and the students all working in co-operation. He stressed the fact that the successful high school must have the earnest and constant co-operation of the parents. Mrs. H. P. Stellwagen, President of the Beaumont High School Mothers' Club, then made a few remarks concerning the Mothers' Club and its importance to the school. The formal dedication by the School Board followed. Mr. R. M. Milligan, Commissioner of School Buildings, pre- Fiffy-three w 1-- , .N W. 7 t I W ? l f 4 f ll l T l-I E C A D U C E U S sented the key of the building to Mr. Maddox, the Superintendent of Instruc- tion. The key had a long string attached to it, and Mr. Milligan said that both the key and the building had strings attached to them, because the building was still incomplete. Before turning the key over to Mr. Ful- ler, Mr, Maddox told something of the present-day demand and value of educa- tion, He spoke of the different types of education now offered in St, Louis and of the a'mount of money spent by the citi- zens to provide this education. The key was then turned over to Mr. Fuller, Prin- cipal of Beaumont, who accepted it on behalf of the school. Mr. Fahrenkrog, President of the Board of Education, was then introduced to the audience. Mr. Fahrenkrog made a plea to the people to renew the rate of school tax of eighty-five cents on the hundred dollars. The audience then sang America, the Beautiful. Following this song, Dr. Amand Ra- vold, President of the St. Louis Medical Society, told us something about the life of William Beaumont. ln conclusion, Mr. Albert L. Schmidt, representative of the North St. Louis Busi- ness Men's Association, told of the interest of his organization in the public schools of our city. Ill ig! Fifty-four gm an FD RY iw' Wie?

In other schools there are not found Such treasures as do here abound. The stately Aud with richness gleams, Just like a palace, so it seems. The music room, a wondrous place, ls fit for fair Apollo's grace. And if great Michael Angelo, Could come to earth, he straight would go To Beaumont's drawing rooms, and there, Again I breathe the classic air. lf Caesar's ghost could search each hall He'd understand Rome did not fall. And Cicero's shade in Latin rooms 'Would feel at home out of the tombs, And merrily his lamp would burn Composing new books for us to learn. And Phidias' ghost would say to Fate, 1 lived too soon. Had I lived late, I might have placed in that Beaumont School My statues wrought with magic tool. Sir Isaac Newton, most erudite, Would rove the physics rooms so light, And in '!math rooms he'd hear his theory Droned out bg students never weary. Visiting with interest each history room, , Heroditus would hear facts loom Whz'ch, when held lived in his grand day, You'd never, never hear folks say. At lunch a student not so bright, Can get an E for his appetite. And for the teachers rest-rooms light The builder planned, each one just right. The spacious gyms and the swimming pool Are most beloved by all the school. E'en of the ohrice we must speak, Where bad, bold children are made meek. From cooking room to manual shop- One could go on and never stop. So let these simple words sufice. Our School has changed within a trice, From a humble dwelling to a palace great. Ye gods!

But how, oh how shall I this sonnet start? IVhen try as I may my words to indite, I always put the horse behind the cart. I have done constant thinking for three days Of words, of phrases, sentences and time, Until my mind is in a perfect maze, Till all I out together will not rhyme. I would be happy in this work laborious, If some imaginative spirit great, From all my artificial lines inglorious A sense of rhythm and of reason would create. But as the spirit great will not appear, Another sonnet will I try another year.

A futilist, he calls himself. This name He bears, and proudly as his own doth claim. O shallow creature of this lovely earth!

When they were joined by sleet and snow, What they had planned we knew. For there before our very eyes For all the world to see , The sleet. the wind, the rain. the snow Had changed each stately tree. All laden with ice they grandly stood And then out came the sun. The trees all glistening beautiful Stood there for every one. 'Twas Mother Natures Christmas gift For all the world so white The sleet, the wind, the rain. and snow Had wrought it in the night.

There is no place to buy a stitch: A dressrnaker no one knows. Well make you a dress, said the springing grass, Just peeping above the ground: A dress of green, of the loueliest sheen, To cover you all around. 'II-ind we, cried the roses, will make you a crown Jewelled with fragrant dew. And we, said forget-me-nots, to earth cast down, W'ill trim it with the daintiest blue.

When school reopens he is back on the job. He leaveth his work not a second's time. His work is what maketh his life sublime, From early till late he taketh a ride, His life's ambitionea toboggan auide. But he faileth not.

T H E C A D U C E U S THE GYPSY ROVER fNotesJ By HILDRETH SINGLETON I, HE Gypsy Rover is in three acts, and is built around the 'character of Rob, later known as Sir Gilbert ' -f Howe, of English nobility. When an infant, Rob had been stolen by his nurse, Meg, who later becomes the wife of Marto, a gypsy. Rob grows into man- hood among the gypsies, believing Meg and Marto to be his patents. It happens one day, that while with her fiance, Lord Craven, Lady Constance Mar- tendale becomes lost in the woods. They wander to the gypsy camp where Con- stance and Rob meet and fall in love at first sight, Craven objects to Rob's atti- tude, but in a very funny comedy scene with Marto and Sinfo, he is made to tell Sir George, who later comes in search of Constance, that Rob is a charming fellow. ln act two Rob and Constance plan to elope at a time when Rob goes to the home of Constance and serenades her. They are overheard by Craven, who in- forms Sir George, and plans are made to capture Rob. This is successfully accom- plished, and Rob is thrown into prison, but later he escapes. Two years elapse, and Rob has come into his estates, his identity having been proven by Meg. He becomes a successful composer, a friend of the Prince, and a social lion. Constance has remained true to her love for Rob, and on his return to England, he woos and wins her for his wife. As Rob says, The good fairies have led me to the beautiful country after all. and our story, Constance, can end in the proper way. They lived happily ever afterwards. There are also pretty love affairs be- tween Nina and Captain Jerome, and Zara and Sinfo. and many comedy scenes be- tween Sinfo and Marto.

But after she had enumerated some of the most appealing qualities of the game without having made the least im- pression on him, she turned and said Martini so sharply that her husband jumped up in confusion. f'Well, he said politely, what's the matter now? I was just telling you, said his wife, looking extremely annoyed, that the Trents are coming over tomorrow night to teach you the game, There are some books on 'How to Play Bridge' on the library table, You had better read them. It takes so long for explanations to get to you. She stifled a bored yawn in the approved manner. Phillips grunted. That's one game I don't have to learn before you can remodel me into a perfect husband, he said, as he stretched his long arms and started up the stairs. Better think up something else to do to make me fashionable. Once in his room, Phillips took his time about dressing for bed, and when the ex- tension 'phone in the room rang, he was struggling with his shoe lace, and did not answer immediately. When, however, he did pick up the receiver, his wife was al- ready speaking, and the few words he heard her say gave him plenty of food for thought. Sixty-six Yes, Ruth, he says he won't learn to play, but that's just because he's so op- posed to anything that even sounds fash- ionable. He's so,-well, so positively ple- beian, you know- So that was it. His wife really thought him plebeian. Because he had laughed at her attempts to be fashionable, and to be invited into the best society, and because he had absolutely refused to attend musi- cales and luncheons given for what he termed Blind Mice societies, he was marked as a common man, a plebeian per- son. He would not have been so annoyed had he been called plebeian by anyone but his wife, who had been, before he met her, a poor shop-girl, whose mother had made second-rate hats, and whose father had been dead or gone for so many years that no one knew which it was. Phillips, on the other hand, was the son of that distinguished Francis Phillips of diplo- matic circles. And his mother had been the recognized social leader. Plebeian per- son, indeed! A little later, the plebeian person de- scended back steps Ccalled by non-plebeian persons the servant's stairwayj and quietly made his way toward the library. Here he found the books his wife had men- tioned. He returned by the way he had come, glad that no one had seen him. At four the next morning he replaced the books, stopped the alarm clock, and went to bed. Then he closed his eyes to sleep for the first time that night. rtx ' YA W up . l l ,Y T I-l E C A D U C E U S The next afternoon, the correct French clock had just struck four, when the cor- rect maid entered Mrs. Phillips' apartment. She coughed discreetly. Mr. Phillips' secretary just 'phoned to say that Mr. Phillips has out-of-town customers today, and will probably entertain them in town tonight. He will stay at his club, HOh dear, lamented Mrs. Phillips. What will the Trents think of us! He- is he still in the office? she demanded of the maid. Mr. Phillips or the secretary? asked that young person, innocently. Mr. Phillips, of course, you fool, said Mrs. Phillips sharply, suddenly be- coming angry. He left half an hour ago, replied the maid, used to these sudden fits of anger, and, therefore, entirely undisturbed. A'ReVerting to type, simply reverting to type, said the maid to the butler, when they were preparing the salad a few min- utes later. 'AShe gets like that every time he does something that doesn't please her. Over the telephone the next morning the outraged Mrs. Phillips gave her im' perturbable husband a considerable piece of her mind. He seemed to be intently ab- sorbed in the intricate design of the wood carving on his desk, and answered his wife only in monosyllables. However, he heard every word she said, and remembered all. He was vastly amused. One afternoon a week later the maid opened the door and coughed discreetly. Mr. Phillips' secretary just 'phoned- she began. He isn't having out-of-town customers, I hope! she gasped. But he is, and has already left the office, said the maid calmly, and a little triumphantly. 'iHe knew the Trents were coming to play bridge, tonight, she wailed, and they'll be insulted if he offers the same excuse both times. It looks so bold. And they were so nice about it last week. Oh dear, what shall I do? She almost shed a tear, but her grief was made up of more exasperation and ill humor than sorrow, and the tear just would not come. Dear -dear, she added. The next morning Martin Phillips' only reply to his wife's repeated threats and well-feigned tears was that he was really sorry to miss the Trents. He saw no reason for learning to play: no rea- son at all. Then, realizing that his wife would continue the conversation for at least a half hour, he beckoned his secretary and gave him the receiver and with a knowing wink, told him to hang up at the proper time. He had dictated four letters and was intent on the fifth when the secre- tary, with an audible sigh of relief, re- placed the receiver. Phillips grinned. That evening he calmly told his wife that he had accepted the Bradys' invitation to drop in the next evening. The usual people will be there, he added, and I suppose they'll play bridge. Umm-yes, and you don't know a heart from a spade, snapped his wife, with evident displeasure. At least promise that you won't try to lure those men into playing poker. Poker is so-so- Why don't you say 'plebeian?' he asked, frowning so that she wondered just where he had heard that word. The next evening, however, Mr. and Mrs. Phillips seemed to have forgotten Sixty-seven l l lf L, THE CADUCEUS their differences, forgotten them, that is, until Mrs. Phillips beheld a sight which she remembered a good many years. She had been sitting on a divan, talking to Mrs. Brady and Mrs. Dick. Yes, really it's too bad, but Martin just doesn't care for card gamesfhes never learned to play bridge, Mrs. Brady frowned. 'Tm so sorry, she said. We have just enough for six tables-just enough-that is-if he'd play. Really it's just carelessness in him- I'm really so sorry-I know he'll learn soon,- Mrs. Phillips was apologizing profusely, when her husband, looking very much as a well-dressed society man should look-strange she hadn't noticed it be- fore-strolled over, looking for his part- ner. And of all the possible women in the room, Mrs. Brady had the tally which made her his partnerl Mrs. Brady, how- ever. with a puzzled frown at Mrs. Phil- lips, accepted her partner's arm and took her place at one of the small tables in the next rooml To the complete bewilderment of Mrs. Phillips, Mr. Brady claimed her for his partner, and led her to the same table her husband had taken Mrs. Brady to only a few minutes before, Had her husband conversed in Greek instead of French, had he drawn white rabbits and pink handkerchiefs from his pockets, instead of calmly drawing the lowest card in the deck and dealing the first hand, Mrs. Phillips would not have been more dumbfounded. Yes, indeed, Mrs. Brady was saying, to Mr. Phillips, l find the situation quite amusing. Your good and faithful wife, to whom you have been married almost a tenth of a century, tells everyone that you've never played bridge in your life: every one believes her, and your good reputation is ruined. lt's Sixty-eight strange, she added significantly, 'lthat after nine years your wife pretends not to know, perhaps actually does not know, anything about your pet failing. But he never again referred to the inci- dent, and kept up a conversation along other lines throughout the game. He enter- tained them so well that although Mrs. Phillips was completely excluded from the conversation by her utter ignorance of the subjects they touched upon, and by her husband's care in excluding her from any- thing he said, no one noticed her silence. U'I'he book is a little too deep or tech- nical or something, to be of general inter- est, he was saying to Mr. Brady, but it certainly contains some fine points. For instance. it gives some new ideas on the old time-worn subject of Bacon's relation- ship to Shakespeare. We all thought that was settled ages ago, and he says some things that you and I would perhaps dis- pute, but that, nevertheless, show keen logic. Certainly a great deal of time was spent on them. In one place, for instance, he says- Here followed a long discus- sion and Mrs. Phillips gave Mrs. Brady an appealing glance only to find her as ab- sorbed a Baconian enthusiast as her hus- band. She decided to look up this man Bacon at the earliest opportunity. Mr. and Mrs. Brady admittedly found Martin Phillips fascinating. At the end of a seemingly ,interminable rubber, when Phillips and his partner advanced to the next table with a score of 678, Mrs. Phil- lips heaved an audible sigh of relief. Your husband is a man to be proud of, Mr. Brady was saying. 'Tm sorry I haven't seen more of him before. I've known him for years, but never to play cards with. It certainly takes a card game to show a man in his true colors. He laughed in an attempt to sound playful.

Hiding him and keep- ing him for yourself? 1 Mrs.. Phillips answered something un- mtelligible, and called his attention to something across the room. Mr. Brady's general opinion of Mrs. Phillips' husband was shared by the whole party, and before the evening drew to a close, Mrs. Phillips' ears were ringing with her husband's praises. What a gifted man Mr. Phillips is, How tall and hand- some that Martin Phillips looks, The most captivating man I've met in yearsf' and Why haven't you brought him over before? were some of the mildest phrases delighted women had said to her, while the men's praises were more direct, and equally sincere. The most flattering epi- thets were attached to his name. A man with brainsln HI.ots of good sense: A real sporty In more ways than one, That man will get somewhere in this world, and I like him: hefs a good fellow, were only expressions of the gen- eral opinion. Already Martin Phillips had made a lasting impression on these people. His wife began to see him in a new light. Early in the morning, when the last hand of the last rubber was about to be played, Mr. Phillips, still apparently un- aware of the impression he had made, was regarding the score card. He could win only if he made a grand slam and had quite a few honors. But in spite of the fact that he thereafter concentrated on how to play that next hand, he did not in- terrupt the story he was telling, as the whole party was gathered about the table to watch the final game. Everyone was laughing at his witty jokes. When he stopped to pick up his cards, they told one another how he had outplayed each couple by talking and playing at the same time. They were so amused at his stories and so entertained by his originality that they forgot to be annoyed at his tactics. Mrs. Phillips thought his stories were just a trifle-well-plebeian-but evidently no one else seemed to think so. When he looked at his hand, he had good reason to feel dazed. Mon Dieu! he said softly, and then, seeing that every one was looking at him, he changed tactics, and said, Great Scott! A woman, standing behind him, gave a little scream, and pretended to faint. A' 'Great Scott' is right, she murmured, I wonder if my eyes deceive me. Maybe I need spectacles in my old age. But she refused to divulge what she had seen. Too good to be true, was her only an- swer to numerous queries. Quite a few people will remember that game for a good many years. Mrs. Phil- lips in particular will remember it until she is too old to remember anything else. For one thing, Mr. Phillips seemed to take absolutely no interest in the bidding. Per- haps, he remembered at that particular time that his wife had said the bidding was, in- deed, the most important part of the game. In any case, he paid absolutely no at- tention to either his partner or his oppo- nents, and seemed to be entirely absorbed in some intricate tale he was telling some amused friends, the idea of the story being to drag it out as long as possible. At length his exasperated partner fairly shouted, Martin Phillips! I bid three spades!! I'm trying to give you a hint that you should stop bidding hearts!!! Please pay some attention to this game! ! ! ! My dear! he answered in much amazement. I bid four hearts! I'm try- ing, oh, ever so hard, to give you a gentle Sixty-nine 'P !Uf L -Hg 11- wga'?f'+ez-fesJ-,- P ' W : 8' vga M V l l ll i K --V !-E17 T l-I E C A D U C E U S hint to the effect that you should stop bidding those confounded spades!! Spades annoy me dreadfully. Kindly take the hint. Someone giggled. Mr. Phillips pretended great alarm when his partner laid down her hand, without a single heart in it. Wonderful spade hand, he said reflectively. The op- ponents' hopes soared. But after the nrst three or four tricks, they realized that for them hope was nil. Why, the man held all the hearts! Un- heard of, but apparently true. Each card was played slowly, and with great deliberation, until they fully realized what thirteen hearts really meant. Then they played anything, indiscriminately. The only thing that mattered was to get the terrible game over with, and to see if Phillips had won, They counted the score before the last cards were played, and Cmarvel of marvels, miracle of miraclesj Martin Phillips and his partner won by three points. Hurrah for Phillips, Phillips had all the hearts, by gosh! Whaddya think of that? Call up Gornoffs and tell 'em the news! were heard. A series of unintelligible cheers, and the high pitched laughter of Mrs. Phillips, combined to make an uproar noisier than a football game, Mr. Phillips being the only un- perturbed person in the room. ln the ex- citement, some one drew up the facts in legal form, and everyone eagerly attached his name to the hastily drawn up docu- Seventy ment. Why certainly, they would have an attorney make it legal as soon as possible. I'm going to have it framed and hung in the drawing room, so that every one can sec that the game was played in my house, declared the highly excited Mrs. Brady, and everybody immediately demanded a copy, It was an occasion worth remem- bering, Hours later, when he had answered the last good-natured shout, Martin Phillips drove out on the almost deserted street, and maintained-a strict silence until he had dressed for bed. Then he walked into his wife's room. and nonchalantly dropped his six feet on her favorite chair, Well, still think you've got a plebeian husband? he asked gravely. His wife looked at him a full minute, and in that minute, she half understood. You knew how to play before I was out of my cradle! she said slowly, Of course, he answered nonchalantly. Always played at home. Great game. He rose to go, but at the door, paused, smiled a condescending smile, and said, with the air of a patriarch, And your social ambitions are realized, my dear. 'With a husband who is no longer plebeian, you'll have your own little niche in the social world as the wife of Martin Phil- lips. But, here he regarded her coldly- you'll have to learn to play bridge. You can't continue to be so positively ple- beianf' 59 ' iam 1 l l M T H E C A D U C E U S A STUDENTS DILEIVIIVIA By JANET MANGOLD Q! T last the dreaded English 3 final had arrived. I approached it with some misgivings, although Miss ff Smith had always assured me that I was an excellent student, but added, HRuth, you always get your heroes and heroines into precarious situations and never seem able to rescue them. I entered the room resolved to convince Miss Smith that I was able to save my heroes. I was aware of the fact that I had spent many a tedious hour studying for this great event. but I also knew that knowledge had a way of slipping my mind when I needed it most. Miss Smith entered and commenced to write the questions on the board. Oh, joy of joys! Behold the first question, Give an Account of Gurth's Adventure with the Bandits. That is easy, I thought. I know I shall make E on this exam. Let me think what happened. Ohl I know. 'iOn Gurth's return from Isaac's house he passed through a dense forest. The ground was broken and deeply rutted by the many carriages that had gone to the Tournament. It was very dark, as the banks and underbrush intercepted the light of the moon. Here and there a tree flung its grotesque, gnarled branches clear over the road. From the village were heard sounds of revelry. Gurth became uneasy and quickened his pace, hoping to reach the lists without any disturbances. But as he passed through the thickest part of the forest, his fears were realized. A man jumped upon him and several men held him fast. 'Surrender thy charge,' they cried. 'We are the deliverers of the Com- monwealth who ease every man of his bur- den.' 'iGeeI I think I'm real smart, I said to myself after all this cogitation. UI know I'll make ten on this question. Then I thought further on the question. Gurth attempted to escape but was overpowered by the superior numbers of the bandits. However, he gave the cap- tain a blow on the head with his quarter- staff and almost knocked him uncon- scious. The robbers gave Gurth a chance to prove his skill at the quarterstaff. If he won, he would be allowed to pass free: if he lost-well, he would be at their mercy, which was not very great. Gurth took up his staff and-and-and-uh- ahem-in My mind was suddenly blank. Was he killed by the robbers? No, I mused. I am almost positive he escaped, but how? I searched my mind, but I was devoid of any further information con- cerning Gurth's encounter. Were Miss Smith's predictions coming true? Oh, well! I'll make it up in the next question, I assured myself. The question read, Describe Front-de-Boeuf's Experi- ence in the Burning Castle. I know I can answer that, I thought. Front-de-Boeuf had been wounded and was lying on a bed of pain and agony. Ulrica, the Saxon, was by his bedside, gloating over him and making him par- take of the bitter cup she had tasted so long. Even as she spoke, smouldering, suf- focating vapor eddied through the chamber in sable folds, The castle was in flames kindled by the Saxon hag. The flames were fast rising. Ulrica left, locking the Seventy-one .A g W me t l l H lo THE CADUCEUS door behind her, thus cutting off the Barcn's last means of escape. The smoke clouds rolled thicker. In the extremity of his agony, Front-de-Boeuf called on his allies and those who were garrisoning the castle. But in vaing they could not hear his feeble voice above the din of battle. Red tongues were seen darting among the dense clouds of smoke. Ohl For one breath of pure air! In his frenzy the wretch blasphemed and cursed and laughed aloud. The vaulted roof hurled back the sound, making his very hair rise. Sud- denly+ooh- With an almost inaudible sigh I sank back in my seat in the depths of despair. HI don't think the savage Baron was res- cued, but I'm sure I didn't read anywhere that he died in the castle, Oh, day of sor- row! I murmured. Why didn't Miss Smith ask me about the outcome of the Tournament or the fall of Torquilstone? I could have answered them. My only hope lies in the next question. The ques- tion was as follows: What Was the Outcome of the Inter- view between Rebecca and Brian-de-Bois- Gilbert at Torquilstone? Then through my mind ran the follow- ing: 'AAhem-ah-Oh, yes! Brian and Re- becca had a stormy session. The haughty Templar attempted to force Rebecca to renounce her religion and follow him. Re- becca was equally lirm and from her high resolve would not retreat. Brian urged her and told her that there was no escape from the tower, where cries of anguish and pain, grief and sorrow alike died away, unless she would do his will. H lThe God of Abraham's promise hath opened an escape to his daughter even from this abyss of infamyf Even as she spoke, Seventy-two she threw open the lattice that led to the ramparts and stood on the very verge of the parapet with nothing but thin air be- tween her and the dizzy depths below. The Templar advanced, but she exclaimed, 'Remain where thou art, proud Templar. One step nearer and I shall plunge myself from the precipice. The Jewish maiden will rather trust her soul to God than her life to thee, proud man,' and she lifted her hands to God as if imploring mercy upon her soul before she jumped. She- oh, ah-ahemf' Again my mind was in utter darkness. I was ruined. I knew she wasn't killed, but did she jump? I simply must not fail in this final. The best cure for grief is action, I told myself. I was determined to show Miss Smith that I was capable of ending my stories. l'll write an appro- priate ending, I resolved. Hah, I have an idea. Miss Smith can't say I'm not original. Brian-de-Bois-Gilbert retreated after Rebecca's defiance, but, thinking that the beautiful maiden would not dare to do such a deed, he stepped forward to clasp her in his arms. But the high-minded maid, whispering a prayer, plunged from the parapet to an instant death unless the hand of the God of her people should in- tercept her. Her body fell, to be crushed and mangled upon the pavement below. But, like a heavenly messenger, along came Amundsen in his airplane on his way to the North Pole. He grasped the situation instantly, and his plane shot under the for- tunate girl, who landed on the wing and crawled into the cockpit, safe from the ven- geance of Brian. With these thoughts in mind, I wrote. I left the room with a self-satisfied air. What a relief, I sighed. 'Tm glad that's over. I-F -535:-1 Y'-I L7 'gh' ,I Q . .M Jr Zfjgyf T A A in 1 ?

' ' H 'AWell, for once you're right, agreed Tom laughingly, giving his friend a resounding slap on the back in an effort to keep that person awake. I vow that's an interesting drawing you've made there, HU-huh, murmured Dick, it should be, considering the time I've spent com- pleting it and the efforts I've put forth: but still it doesn't quite satisfy my ambi- tions. Really, the most important phase of the work is lacking. Notice that eagle in the air: what do you think of it? HIt's very complete in every detail, and the coloring is just right, but it is rather- I don't know just what is wrong with it. 'AThat's just it, Tom, I've spent hours and hours on it, but it does not look natural. Besides, this weather is getting the best of me. I fear I shall fall asleep within the next minute. Shhl Here comes- Let me see your painting, Dick, and the instructor of the art class nodded to Tom, who was busily engaged in locating his own drawing, which had disappeared at this very distressing moment. Dick complied, and the master, after touching up the painting a bit, passed on. 'KWhy, Tom, exclaimed Dick in his ecstasy, how it has changedf' then in an undertone, HI do believe the eagle is moving. Nonsense, laughed Tom, who had overheard the last remark. But it? Not only was the eagle soaring in and out among the beautiful white clouds, but the bees began to drone lazily. The scene expanded: the humming of the bees and the chirping of the birds grew more and more distinct, and Dick found himself entering the gate at the north end of the town. Now, Dick was very much perplexed, as well he might be. The truth of the matter was he hadn't an inkling of an idea where he was: however, he did feel that he didn't belong there. As Fate always takes a hand in moments as distressing as this, a little girl at a pump suddenly nodded to Dick, and her eyes twinkled ever so merrily. Dick saw the opportunity of learning something of his whereabouts, and perhaps-the identity of the little girl. He advanced toward the child, who continued to smile as though she were well pleased with him. Could you--would you-will you tell me what country this is? stammered Dick. Well now, I can't tell you just what country it is, but I can tell you which it might be. Dick thought this the oddest response anyone had ever made, though he entreated the girl to continue. It would be, she continued, Hit would be Spain if the shadows weren't present. You see by the town clock, which always has the correct time, that it is noonday. and Spain has no shadows, especially at the noon hour. Then it might be France if the hillsides weren't so bedecked with almonds. The French detest almonds. Then it might also be Italy if the writing in that window weren't Latin. The eagle tells me it is Switzerland, and so it might be if everything else weren't just as it is. Seventy-three iii I l l - li e I T H E C A D U C E U S By this time the little girl had filled her bucket with water and Dick auto- matically took up the pail and accom- panied her home. Dick wondered at him- self. He remembered how many times his mother had asked him to do some little favor for her and how frequently he had objected or grumbled. This move, he must needs confess to himself, was entirely vol- untary. He even felt indebted to her for some reason unknown to him. He turned now and asked, What is your name, little one? Ah! That I will not tell you until you tell me yours. Why, mine's Dick! The boy was somewhat taken back by the hasty re- spouse. And mine's Accuracy. The sound of the name made Dick's ears tingle. 'iThat's rather long. Isn't there a shorter name I may know you by? UNO, indeed, and the child's face took on a sorrowful expression for the first time since Dick had met her, I have been bur- dened with that name ever since my parents gave it to me here in this strange land. Perhaps I may speak with your parents and persuade them to change your name, offered Dick. Alas, said the child, an almighty power forbids it. My parents may not name me otherwise, Little boy, will you stay here always? The question which so abruptly con- fronted Dick made him suddenly realize that he was not at home. He must go home at once: still he would ask the child Seventy-four if she wished that he go. f'Do you wish me to stay? he ques- tioned. 'AYes, indeed: I get so lonesome at times. If only I had a kitten with which to play, I would care for it and love it as only I am able. 'iThen I will stay with you, said Dick. He hadn't known where he was, and he still didn't know. The trouble now was that he didn't care. Everything was so nice. Even little girls can be ideal play- mates when one is in a pinch. Suddenly there was a clatter of wooden shoes. The child was running from him, and he noticed for the first time that she wore wooden shoes. Then came a dread- ful uproar and' someone cried, A for- eigner, a foreigner! Put him out of the city. Dick felt himself roughly seized by the collar, and before he could say anything, he was receiving a good shaking. Then came the droning of bees and the chirping of birds. Dick, Dick, Wake up! My, but you're a heavy sleeper. It took Dick several minutes to recover from the shaking, for Tom had almost exhausted his patience trying to waken him. Oh, Tom, said Dick after he had fully recovered, I know what's wrong with my painting. He immediately set to work to correct the faults. As a final touch, he added a fluffy, white kitten at the base of the pic- ture, and he imagined that the little girl's eyes twinkled more than ever, K f- SDM: ,Fm X vu ugf-0.51 V i - l C ifaS 2Mf3IffJ5 E'- Q, - , ,.

Speaking of voices, did you hear the other day about the radio announcer with the handsome voice who received a large correspondence of matrimonial proposals? Although the proposers evidently were willing to venture so perilously without the party of the first part having seen the party of the second part, he was reluctant. Some big he-manly voices and some shrill pipers have the power to attract. Queer, isn't it? Well, to continue the discussion is ad- visable. I present my friend, John Mulli- gan, while he and I are enjoying an agree- able afternoon by means of a desultory stroll in the park. The grass was green, the air balmy, the early summer delicious. Fat men sat on benches and blessed the weather. Lean men lay in the shade and slept to avoid thinking. Voluntary Protectors of Our Public Parks enclothed in hereditary-not- by-descent royal conglomerations of venti- lated garments, sat in immobile rows, ac- complishing the desideratum of the afore- mentioned lean men without slumbering. We Cmy friend and IJ scorned the Well- traveled path and betook ourselves to the wide open space ten feet to the left. Some twinging pain informed me that here was room for a character sketch or sketches. Make an unpleasant task as short as pos- sible, it suggested, Here goes! In general, and in particular, John Mul- ligan was incessantly bubbling over with good spirits, and I was morose, somewhat cynical, and only in my'nonage. He was a romantic idiot, of the sort that sighs at anything ridiculous, and at nothing, if else there lacks. I was a sage, staid and in- credulous. He was happy. I was thought- ful. Our appearance need not Worry you. It was nothing so very distinguished, be as- sured. Observe, I was declaiming, the in- sidious, pernicious, perditious workings of that deplorable agency. Then say, if you can honestly and conscientiously, that it is not extremely harmful to the welfare of this great nation. You can't, can you 91, John, musingly: Absolutely not.

Did you ever hear anything so sweet, so lovely, so trilling, so- I, pettishly, What in the world is the matter with you, John Mulligan? Impetuously: The voice, the voice!

John gave me a withering look, which failed to even scorch. He strode away in high ill-humor for his nature. It did not greatly concern me because I knew that his exceedingly rare fits of temper were as temporary as a snowfall in spring. On reflection after my friend had left, it seemed to me that I had heard some feminine voice on the crowded promenade that We had been paralleling, which had left a rather deeper groove on my subcon- scious mind than the other giggling, chat- tering, girlish trebles. Then I smiled: John had taken that path. II Later in the same week a red2faced, ani- mate Iigure bounded up the steps to my garret. Effusive greetings were exchanged. I-Ie sitting on the cot, I leaning against the wall, certain small talk ensued. Finally John, with a serious look in his clear, blue eyes, I am leaving town. :leaving town? UYes, I am. It's Westward Ho! First train tonight. Lost in wonder, I stood gazing at him, uncomprehendingly at first, then reproach- fully. John Mulligan and I were com- rades-at-arms. We had wandered in each other's company since boyhood: both parentally bereft, attempting to obey the dictum to See America First. We had been members in good standing of the Associated Anti-Brakemen's Union of the World-no less. I said, You know I can't go away now. From long habit, I could not ap- preciate John's answering the call of the steel road without me. Seuemy-six He looked at me sorrowfully for a moment in silence, then, But you can't go along this time. It's different. This he remarked shamefacedly. How? I demanded. You remember that sublime Wom- HI don't remember herg I didn't see her. But I don't think I'll ever forget the incident. The situation was becoming luminous. Mind-reader. Well, she's leaving to- night. Hold on! Don't stare at me as if I were a curiosity, George. I need your help. Suspicion held me full in its clutches. A'In what way? I inquired. In a-a-a financial direction. That's it, I knew it. You'll certainly make a fine provider. I need only ten bucks. To get you out of town on a fool chase after somebody you've only heard once! No, John, I like you too well. An eager start, I have seen her, though. I shadowed her that day and learned about her. She is a great singer. Why, George, she's famous. The less reason you should behave so atrociously. Say, do you know her name? This last I hinted covertly. Here the conference was interrupted. It was the landlady. Her mission was very irritating. She had acquired a strange persistence in demanding the settlement of an unimportant debt, very unfortunately for me. The same tedious process of elimi- nating that worry, for the present at least, was employed. At her exit I dug deep and reluctantly delivered my portion to folly. A l I U as .a -.f 1- . ::- . . ' W2 ff, T H Gratitude, overflowing, half-consoled me to my loss, for such I knew it to be. Then John left. Have I forgotten to mention that John Mulligan contained a secret urge and hid- den longing for renown as a stirrer of men's souls? He wished to be a singer. That evening I saw by the newspaper that a certain famous operatic star of in- ternational fame, whose betitled name in its foreign air smacked of castles and liv- eried servants, was leaving that night for a tour of the West. III The train engaged its course across the yellow, sunburned, dust-permeated plains of Kansas, somewhat slowly and some- what hesitantly for numerous stops, whose occasion was a mystery. We spoke of many things: the League of Nations and the Big Leagues, the World Court and the latest murder court, pro- hibition and evolution, also the regional weather. The group of absolutely obsessed farmers Cboth gentlemen and dirtj , state assembly- men, ditch diggers, cowboys, and QI lack power to omitj cigar drummers who com- prised our sprawling agora succumbed al- most to a man after we had passed Cof- feyville, succumbed to the all-pervading noxious gases which issued from the per- fectos in full blast, succumbed to the at- mosphere in general, succumbed to the spirit in general. I mean they entered into the Land of Nod. thereby escaping the cranium pains accruing from those clouds of fragrance, which all the headache pow- ders in the world had been powerless to subdue. I was deprived of their delectable pleasance and reached only a halfway terri- E. C A D U C E U S tory where I suffered the sharper pangs. I looked out of the window in purpose- less fashion at the same low, grimy, red brick station, whose every detail I knew by experience with others of its kind, and saw the same variety of station loafer with the same assiduous single aim in life, name- ly, to watch with lack-lustre eye the in- coming trains. Pardon me, I meant to say the passing trains. Then in my mind I associated a dull, deadened ringing with a high platform like a circus side-show barker's rostrum, which had on it a gallows in miniature, suspending a triangular figure of steel bar like-you all know-that of a waffle wagon. I somnolently noticed the opera- tor of the instrument. He began in a high droning tone to cry the virtues of a ham-and-egg establishment behind him. Neither did he nor his business interest me, for I knew the types. Something in his voice slowly obtruded itself into my senses. I awoke to a vague familiarity. Why, can this be possible? Yes, it is. Behold, my friend, John Mul- ligan! A groaning of the under-carriage of the car informed me of the fact that the train was moving. All excited, I leaped up and ran out to the platform, forgetting my grips. I hurried over a few feet of cinders and across a boulevard-in-the-rough to the stand, John glanced in my direction, recog- nized me, saluted, and stepped down. He abandoned his professional chant and re- sumed the old enthusiastic tremor. A time of warm emotional greetings followed. Comrades both!

WIND THAT- By LILLIAN ALLEN RTHUR was eager to loosen his N collar where it was choking him, Egg but to release his fingers from ' their frantic clutch on the over- coat of the big man in front of him might prove fatal. The boy realized this fact fully when the street car again lunged for- ward and caused the passengers to stamp their rough boots here and there as each person made attempts to maintain his bal- ance. If he had lost his hold! Arthur pic- tured himself crushed beneath heavy shoes. He shuddered. lt was true his supporter did not exactly have that sympathetic and understanding look which might encourage a weaker mor- tal to attach himself to his overcoat and hang on, confident of safety. But, Arthur argued even if the man is averse to my grip, he hasn't expressed his opinion. let well enough alone. to himself, I had better hold on to bearing the weight of the person behind him, whose arms Arthur felt wrapped about him in a desperate embrace. In his crushed position, he could not turn his head to see who this fellow passenger was: but from the way he felt, Arthur was sure that the man must weigh at least two hundred pounds. Besides, the boy had to something, because he was As new passengers squeezed into the car at every corner, Arthur began to speculate on the possibility of death by slow suffo- cation. He had come to the point of won- dering whether or not he had a card with his home address, to which they could send his body, when to the relief of every- one, the conductor called out 'flx?fg,9 . Arthur interpreted, Grand Avenue Line. There followed a period of great shov- ing as people searched hurriedly in their pockets for carfare. Once even Arthur stepped on the foot of his benevolent friend, which gentleman, losing his pa- tience, mumbled something which Arthur considered uncomplimentary. But finally the crowd had thinned out, and Arthur, dropping into the nearest vacant seat, mopped his wet brow and summoned up a prayer for the unfortunates now engaged in making a mad dash for the Grand Ave- nue car. Arthur raised the Window as high as he could, that is, to the place where it stuck. CAll street car windows stick.j Now opening his overcoat, he settled back com- fortably in his seat, and inhaled the de- licious and refreshing air which was enter- ing the car from the small open space. 'iNow, he told himself, my troubles are over. A lot he knew about it. His train of thoughts came to an abrupt halt when a beautiful and familiar little cough echoed through the car. He recog- nized it as that of one of the office girls. Who, hearing that sweet voice, would ever suspect that it belonged to a girl with the name Mayme Carr? But, as they say, 'iWhat's in a name? Mayme was a charming, lovable girl. Arthur hailed her arrival with enthusiasm. As she walked toward him. he arose, tipped his hat, and after a friendly greeting, beckoned her to the place by the window.

Sud- denly Mayme exclaimed, UOh! I almost forgot again. When Arthur looked puzzled, Mayme reached into her handbag and therefrom extracted a fountain pen. Your fountain pen, she explained. I borrowed it about a week ago. Last night I discovered it in my bag. As Arthur took the pen, he thought to himself, Girls are always forgetting things -so hopelessly careless. But since it was Mayme,-well-it-wasn't so careless of Mayme. Little things like that do slip one's mind. He slipped the pen into his left pants pocket, but withdrew it with a flush when his hand encountered a rather large hole. Girls hopelessly careless? How many times had he forgotten to tell his mother to sew that hole? He transferred the pen to his right pocket, which he examined with great care. Not a sign of damage. Pocket tightly sewederoomy as-. Suddenly he grew perplexed. His jaw dropped. His face went white. Why, it couldn't be true. Yet the fact remained that there was a hole in his left pocket, and his hand was plunged deeply into his empty right one. He didn't have any money! Incrediblel Why, he had never gone anywhere without any money. There must be some money on him somewhere. His thoughts flashed back to the girl. He inwardly groaned. Oh, there must be some money on him. There had to be! First he prayed that he might find a little change- Just enough change, God -in some pocket. Then he prayed that she might turn her head and give him a chance to make the first prayer come true. Eighty His second prayer was answered. Mayme fixed her gaze out of the window. Good little Maymel Then the search began. Was there ever such a search as that one? First the two back pants pockets were turned inside out. Vest pockets suffered the same fate, and one overcoat pocket was rummaged with no success. Then the girl turned her head, and the search was postponed for a time. Only one pocket was left to save him. If she would only turn her head away again, Mayme was a girl to be depended upon. She wouldn't fail him. He was right. Once more she turned her head toward the window. Holding his breath, he slipped his hand slowly into the remaining pocket. When he drew it out, his face was white. His heart beat so wildly that he was afraid she must hear it. Empty! Not a thing in it! Not even a hole! What a horrible predicament! A young man on a street car carrying him nearer and nearer to his destination, without a cent in his pockets, and in the company of a young lady. That was the part he couldn't bear. He could stand a conduc- tor's throwing him off, making a fool of him, But to have a girl see it-the em- barrassment-the humiliation of it. Despite the lad's twenty-two years, he was close to tears. And the girl, unaware of itlall, kept gazing out of the window, He, by turns, kept getting paler, shaking, and feeling queer in the pit of his stomach. The street car kept creeping nearer to the office- nearer-nearer-. Maybe it would be best to tell her every- thing. But, somehow, he couldn't tell her -couldn't hear himself asking, Will you lend me some carfare for us, Miss Carr? H-0 1 ,V .. , W Y .2-. .f . T ' 'T g fm T H E.

He would-. lt will never be known what he might have done, for at that moment a terrible crash was heard, and felt, too, for Arthur nearly fell to the floor. Several voices cried out excitedly, What happened? The motorman and conductor sprang from the car. A few minutes later the conductor returned and shouted, We struck an automobile. Now sit down and don't get excited. No one has been in- jured. Just remain seated until we come back. Then he left the car again. Soon he and the motorman returned and spoke together for a few minutes. Then the con- ductor came forward. We're going to be delayed, he cried. 'Everybody out. You'll have to take a service car or walk the rest of the way. All out. - Arthur closed his eyes. lt was unbe- lievable. The relief was almost too great. lt seemed that the accident had happened just to save him. He glanced at the auto- mobile, a wreck just to save him. Of course, he was glad no one had been hurt, but, even though he knew it was wrong. he could not help feeling glad that the accident had happened. Then out of a clear sky, another fear seized him. It was eight or ten long blocks to the office. Suppose Mayme should want to ride? He was at his wit's end. His head seemed to be in a turmoil. There was only one thing left for him to do-one des- perate chance. What shall we do, Miss Carr, ride or walk? His fate hung trembling in the balance while Mayme stood trying to make her choice. Then she laughed. Walk, she de- cided. ' Arthur, in his immeasurable joy, seized her by the arm. Together they started out in the direction of the oifice. Good Little Mayme.

Thelma Weber GOOD CITIZENSHIP IN THE BEAUMONT HIGH SCHOOL By MARIE LOTH HERE is only one way to make fill the most of our school life and that is by doing good, faithful, L ' 'W' steady work. School is a part of life. The same qualities and habits that bring success or failure in school bring suc- cess or failure later on in the business world. The Way We play the game of life in Beaumont and meet the tests here is the way we shall meet tests when we leave school and enter the business world. If we are good citizens in Beaumont, we Will surely be good citizens in later life. As good citizens of Beaumont High School, We should try in every Way to keep up its good standard, to promote its success, and to take pride in its achievements. We should be loyal and faithful in attendance, and not allow poor scholarship or neglect of studies to bring down the standard of our school. As good citizens of Beaumont, we will think first of the Welfare of our whole school rather than some little clique or club. If any of our outside clubs or activities interfere with our loyalty to our school, then we should gladly give up such activi- ties. As good citizens we should stand by our school and root for our athletic teams, not by boasting or discourtesy to the competing teams, but by loyally sup- porting every honorable effort to win. We go to these contests in honor of our school, and as good citizens We know that we cannot bring honor to Beaumont by any sneaky tricks, unfair play or coarse conduct. . Eighty-three l l i l M ill , Hx 5-V yg T H E C A D U C E U S With all the wonderful activities and interests, games, pleasures, and friendships, we should not lose sight of the fact that the main purpose of the school is mental discipline and the acquiring of habits that go to build character. These come partly from our games and other activities, but mainly from the prob- lems that come to us in our lessons. We are educated that we may live a better life, and be of greater use to the community in which we live. lt seems, then, that the aim of our school is to make better citizens of us. Service should be our ideal, and we should always bear in mind that he is the greatest that serves best. It is better to give than to receive. The best member of a school is the one who can do the most for it, and in this way he also gets the most out of it. We can all be good citizens of Beaumont High School by faithfully co-operating in all of its aims and purposes with our fellow students, parents, teachers, local officials, the State, and the Nation. A RIP VAN WINKLE OF BEAUMONT By MARGARET DODD U BUSY day, today will be, sighed Rip Van Winkle, a mem- EQ ber of the Yeatman faculty, as he entered the school. lt was moving day for Yeatman. They were packing to go into Beaumont. All day long, with his sleeves rolled up and collar off, Mr. Rip Van Winkle packed books, books, books! At three he was only too glad to slip olf into the balcony to rest from his strenuous work. Hope l'll never live to move another school, he said, as he sat down in a corner seat of the balcony. This had been one of Mr. Van Winkle's busiest days. As he sat there, he thought over his connection with Yeatman. He had enjoyed teaching there, even if it was a lot of work to move out. Still, he was going into the finest school in St. Louis, so what difference did Eighty-four it make? Rip dropped off to sleep. How long he slept, we know not, but he was suddenly awakened by a bell. Time to get busy again, said he, me- chanically rising, but he stopped abruptly, Why, how light it is: how large: and look at the curtains! Where am I? He walked into the hall. 'AWhat period is this? asked Rip of a boy who came strolling towards him. Fourth period. Wake up, returned the boy. Rip thought it strange to be spoken to in that manner, but walked down the cor- ridor trying to place himself: it all seemed so strange to him. At the end of the corridor he met two men who greatly resembled custodians, but who pulled enough hose to be firemen.

He was told, and accordingly started in that direction. Half way down the first floor corridor he stopped. Look at that auditorium! he exclaimed, and is this the entrance? Sure- ly I must be in a capitol. On a little farther he came to the office. HI am sure that I can find myself here, he thought as he entered. Please, can you tell me where to find-. A'Lost and found room in 201 now, interrupted the office clerk, not raising her eyes from her work. Discouraged he left the office. What should he do? How he wanted to meet someone he knewl Seeing the steps, he started up, but was told he was on the wrong side. Bewildered, he walked to the other side, and again started up. He wanted to go back to the balcony where he could at least be alone to think over his state of affairs. As he reached the second floor, the bells rang. Doors flew open, and students streamed forth from all directions, all headed for the steps. Mr. Van Winkle heard one boy say something about a Beaumont special. It was not until he heard this remark that Rip found him- self. What made me so stupid? he asked himself. l'Where else but to the Beau- mont lunch room could they be going? I have certainly lived up to my name! He joined a group of former Yeatman teachers who were quite surprised to see him, and with them descended the steps. You ask, What for? To go to the lunch room, of course. A TWENTIETH CENTURY KNIGHT By SHIRLEY Sopp p HE newly constructed, state high- way had just been opened for the use of lvehicles, when a gallant 4 H knight in a red Rolls-Royce came speeding up the road. His furious steed, as we shall term the automobile, was going at a great velocity: and a desperate effort was being made by its master to prevent his being unhorsed, as it were. This heroic knight was rather tall in stature and well proportioned. At the present, he looked very desperate as he knitted his dark brows together and bit his lip. He possessed a pair of dark brown piercing eyes and a head of hair which looked as though he had employed his pet dog, instead of a barber, to cut it. His head bore no sign of a hat but I do not believe the terrific wind was at fault for this. His royal suit of armor con- sisted of a pair of light-gray bell-bottomed pants, a vest and coat to match the pants and a fur overcoat, His feet were adorned with rolled socks and collegiate oxfords. This dauntless cavalier was fortunately gifted in the manipulation of a steering wheel. Had he not been, he would have met his Waterloo sooner than he cared to. Eighty-Eve If-Xl A u. lf'5f,,-x',sw7W ff'ifQ4'N3 l jill , T H E C A D U C E. U S But herel We have another figure in this scene of tournament. Our knight was rivaled by another hero, possessing a grey steed, named Marmon. The Marmon steed like Rolls-Royce was very primed for the race and was doing its level best to pass its rival. lVlarmon's master, a youth of light com- plexion, possessed a rather stumpy stature. He appeared rather angry as he Was being conquered. His blonde hair stood stiff as the wind hurried by, and his blue eyes were opened very widely. His armor was almost identical with that of his challenger. The bloody contest had now begun as Marmon passed Rolls-Royce. Headlights glared in the sun as each endeavored to keep the lead. lt was, indeed, decidedly exciting and would have ended rather bloodily had not a kind, big-hearted po- liceman surprised the combatants at a small, forsaken cross-road. This coincidence ended the contest and though neither knight received the honors of the day, they were both presented with a slip of paper by the generous policeman. But being presented with something did not add to their honor at the present in- stance, although a court summons and fine were much more pleasant than a bloody grave. The gallants had quite enough combat for that day, but they reassured each other that some day, when the kind policeman Would not intrude, their contest would be finished thoroughly.

C A D U C E U S SIR ROGER'S CONCEPTION OF THE CHARLESTON By ROSELLA DODT 'Tfgq INCE the Charleston first made its appearance in St. Louis and became the recognized spirit of 'rf' all entertainments and modern amusements, I have been more of an ob- server than a participant. I have often wished that I, too, might gain fame and prominence from such accomplishments as many renowned 'ACharlestoners of the modern era have. Since I first saw this most exclusive dance, I have had a mind to ask my dear friend, Sir Roger, an ir- reproachable country gentleman, to accom- pany me to the ballroom of the Statler Hotel, where he might meet some of the society of the twentieth century and also some of the afore-mentioned accomplished dancers. On the appointed evening of the long- anticipated meeting, I had waited fully an half-hour before Sir Roger arrived at the Statler Hotel. I had never known him to be late before, and at first I could not imagine what had delayed him. Upon arriving, he seemed very excited, but im- mediately explained that the congested trafficfsuch as he had never seen before- had so astounded him that he had had dif- ficulty in crossing the streets, I should have been more considerate of my dis- tracted friend. The conditions and im- provements of the twentieth century had, during his recent visit, quite startled him. Telegraphy, electricity, and other conven- iences of the age were unknown to him. His presence had already attracted a great deal of attention and so I told Sir Roger Cto relieve my embarrassmentj that we would enter the hotel. His dress was rather peculiar, but nothing I said could have induced him to don more modern ap- parel. He wore a full-skirted black coat, silk knee breeches, and a flowered waist' coat. His waistcoat, being open, displayed his fine Holland shirt with its elaborate ruffles. Many of the guests asked to be intro- duced to him, which I joyfully did, for I was very proud of my friend. Since Sir Roger was a most distinguished gen- tleman of this time, he did not find it dif- ficult to become acquainted. It was true that he attracted a great deal of attention, but it was not derisive attention. The evening's performance proceeded and Sir Roger was always among friends, He was spell-bound when he saw the guests Charleston Once he remarked, One minute their feet are here, another min- ute there. In fact, one cannot determine where they are. It is just like an optical illusion. I am honestly glad that there were no such dances in my time. Will Honeycomb would have had to do some stepping to keep his lady friends. The guests, having completed their part of the evening's program, asked Sir Roger to show them some of the eighteenth cen- tury dances. I would have persuaded the Knight otherwise, but he was determined to participate in the entertainment. Soon my dear friend had become the life of the party. Once again he was living in the past and was the real Sir Roger de Coverley. The Charleston had lost all of its previous attraction. It Eighty-seven K fy , v u' J ,X A W V - ,, .

That night, after I had escorted Sir Roger to his country home, I felt as though something had been accomplished THE TALE OF in his visit. It is not the passing novel- ties and amusements that are, after all, as Sir Roger tried to make plausible, what people most desire and find more amus- ing, but the simple and homelike forms of entertainment.

THE CYCLE A By HELENE STANTON The Springtime days come singing, lade with gold, And all the crickets and the birds today Come drifting back, anticipating Mag, Which through the winter's spell had fled the cold. Now is the land released from the hold Of that chill hand which held it under swag, And choked out life and introduced decay, That hand which now seems weak and very old. So comes the spring, in essence but the page Of summer, whose broad shining head must bend To autumn's fruit and winter's snow again, So comes in Youth, who from the grasp of Age, The sceptre wrenches, till the years descend, That bring the winter to the lives of men.

In the darkling wood, Amidst the cool and silence, man knelt down ' And offered to the Mightiest solemn thanks and supplication. :gy growth and death of trees their iii, udding forth in' certain seasons, 1 their inactivity in others, con- cluded that there was some intimate rela- tionship between tree-life and human-life. Well known philosophers. Aristotle and Plutarch, believed that trees were capable of reason and emotion. The belief of the Ancients in the human phase of trees was .o firm that they associated the life of a .nan with that of a tree. On ceremonial t tccasions, such as a wedding or Coronation. .. tree was planted whose existence was connected with that of the person. ln ln- dia, a tree, when decorated, formed an object of worship. The trees were tended by priests: and animals inhabiting the sacred groves were protected. The ancient Greeks used the leaves of the laurel as marks of distinction. Later a crown of laurel signified poetic honor. E RIMITIVE man, after observing b I ' ' , This love and appreciation of trees have endured throughout the ages, from the earliest Stone Age to our present day. They will continue to assert power as long as man is capable of appreciating the beau- tiful and spiritual in life, The using of trees as memorials for our honored dead of the World War is proof enough of the beauty and significance of trees. We have gone beyond the individual memorial to a monument perpetually renewed. The morning wind forever blows, the poem of creation is uninterrupted. The idea of the memorial tree will never stop. Even now a plan has been suggested for a vast forest memorial dedicated to the essential unity of all English-speaking nations. This is a nation of the out-of-doors. Even when America was a vast unbounded forest from the Atlantic to the prairies, there were some who loved the trees, and it is with something of this old love of trees, a desire to see a little of America as it used to be, that over six million people visit our National Parks every summer. Repeatedly there have been schemes for commercial exploitation of these National Forests, but they have always been de- feated by an overwhelming public opinion. The forest preserves our wild life by affording protection to the forest birds and animals. Nature lovers from befriending the birds came to befriend the forest. It is significant, perhaps, that one of the many ways in which America has extended the helping hand to crippled Europe has been in the gift of feeding stations and bird houses throughout the few remaining for- ests in Belgium and northern France. Then, too, there are the beautiful plants and flowers found only in the woods. Nature lovers have always led the way in urging public opinion to preserve the for- ests. An appreciation of beauty, essential to the development of the highest and best in the life of man, is increased by communion with the beauty of nature which lies about us all our lives.

Our supply of water. one of the necessities in our lives, is preL served and protected by the forests. Every spring We read of great damage done by cloud-bursts and floods, of lives lost and property swept away. Man, with all of his great knowledge and science, has been unable to cope with these, but he is be- ginning to realize that the cutting of the forests is, in part, responsible. Our home-building, transportation and communica-tion are dependent upon the tree. The ideal American home has al- ways represented, not a stone palace, but a frame house. The old colonial homes of New England, the Washington homestead at Mount Vernon, and countless others throughout the older sections of our coun- try stand in silent testimony of the dura- bility of wood, We Americans are great home-lovers, but we are also inveterate travelers. There is hardly a man or woman in the country who has not taken at least a short journey by rail. For our transportation we sacri- fice 25,000,000 trees a year, and this alone should move us to take drastic measures to preserve the forests. ln recent years our forests have been rapidly decreasing, and unless we become growers, as well as users of Wood, our for- ests will go the way of our buffalo. Many remedies have been suggested: the growing of trees in cycles in order to make the sup- ply of Wood inexhaustibleg the turning of our idle land into forests in order to in- crease the production of timber: and fire prevention, Fire is the greatest enemy of Ninety the forest. lt takes one hundred years to grow a forest, but it only takes one hour to destroy it. In one day vast areas of beautiful timberland have been wiped out by ravages of fire. . Encumbered by many dangers, the tree has continued to furnish not merely a material aid to us in our existence, but inspiration and beauty. A century-old oak has about it something more than sturdi- ness and bulk: it has dignity, nobility, and fortitude. How proudly it stands against the element, and how nobly it was de- signed to stand! Its roots are driven deep into the rock ledges: its massive trunk and branches are constructed to endure all weather. It has sensation: it seems almost human as it stands there year after year, changing its garmenting With the seasons, sighing as the wind passes through its branches. How serenely it lives and diesl ff I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth's sweet flowing breast. A tree that looks at Goa' all day. Ana' lifts her leafy arms to pray. A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robzns ln her hair. Upon whose bosom snow has lain, Who intimately lives with ram.

C A D U C E U S THE SPECTATOR ON THE RADIO By RUTH ZASTROW F15 night last week I heard a very interesting speaker over the radio. I had just tuned in when the an- nouncer of a local broadcasting said that the Spectator would talk to the radio audience about his visit to St. Louis. I Q -.W Q? EH station The Spectator then began to speak, and these were his words: It took a great deal of persuasion to make me speak through this queer device which is sup- posed to make my voice heard all over the country. I finally consented when I was told that there would be no one to see me or to cause me any embarrassment. I arrived in this large city early this morning. I was amazed at the immense building where trains come together from all parts of the country. I have not yet ceased to puzzle over the queer way in which this building was illuminated. There were no torches or candles as I have been accustomed to. There were simple little globes from which the light streamed. I was taken through the city in a queer kind of carriage from which the horse seemed to have disappeared. Nevertheless, this did not interfere with its speed. Often I gasped at our narrow escape from a col- lision with a fast moving vehicle, called a street car. UI was accompanied on this trip by a man who interested me very much, be- cause he was in the same business as I was. He was a writer for a newspaper which is a great many times larger than the news- paper of the eighteenth century. This man pointed out to me the woman of fashion as she is in these modern times. .She no longer seems to waste so much of her time in painting and powdering her face, for this woman was applying her powder as she walked along the street. Neither did she indulge in a high head-dress. She wore a covering on her head which was so small and tight that she certainly could not have worn a curled wig under it. To my sur- prise, the newspaper writer told me that her hair was probably cut almost as short as a man's. I observed she might easily have had several gowns out of the amount of cloth that the belle of the eighteenth century would have used for one costume. However, there was one part of her attire which was similar to ours of the eighteenth century, and that was her shoes. These were pumps with large buckles and high, bright-colored heels. A'As,we continued our trip, I never stopped exclaiming over the wonderful city of yours. I am very glad I have had the pleasure of speaking to such a vast and scattered audience this evening, but I must stop now as I am returning to my eighteenth century London this evening. Ninety-one ,, I l l ,g THE CADUCEUS THE CHARLESTON By WILLGENE SCHOBER D. 3 HE Charleston is a dance step origif F I nated by someone who evidently had St, Vitus dance. The dance AJ is a cross between a prize fight and a football game. The negroes are said to be the first to have used this modern torture. One day two men were walking down the street when they happened to notice a young man contorting himself into all sorts of queer shapes. One of these men gasped, Get a doctor: this man has an epileptic fit. His friend, however, burst out laughing and said, Why, man, he's doing the Charleston. A few weeks ago the Charleston was all the rage. I've never seen anything, except the radio, that was so popular. They have named clothing, canoes, songs, and bands after this famous exercise. Just imagine George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and other great men doing this dance, had it been thought of! One day a young man came to a famous dancing instructor and said, Teach me the Charleston. So the instructor took the boy into a room and after bending the poor lad into all sorts of queer shapes, in- cluding that of a pretzel, he said, You are now ready to learn the first step. The Charleston was being danced in many other cities for perhaps a year before it came to St. Louis. After all, there is really nothing wrong with the Charleston. It does wonders as a cure for the rheuma- tism. It was danced down south to the tune of a banjo and a harmonica almost exclusively by the negroes. It was not un- common to see signs reading, Charleston Taught in Five Lessons. We are not re- sponsible for broken legs and twisted limbs. All this, though, is past history. for the Charleston has gone out of existence, at least in St. Louis. It was banned because of the strain it put on the buildings. But, though the Charleston has passed out, it is still remembered by everyone.

A ' K I l ll ,L T I-I E C A D U C E U S swerve when it was about to hit a jay- walker or any obstacle, the invention would prove a great boon. The front of the car could be supplied with this cur- rent by the slight pressure of a button for the convenience of the happy driver. Bi- cycles, street cars, trains, and even boats could be supplied with the mechanism. Any youngster would then be able to drive a car safely. This mechanism would decrease the an- nual death rate to an astonishing degree. But many see an objection to suddenly de- creasing the death rate. Scientists say that the world will soon be overcrowded. If there were no deaths contributed by autos, we would have that many more live peo- ple to feed, clothe, and shelter. There must be an outlet for this crowded world, which outlet this perfect mechanism would check. So the problem is this. Is it better to die by auto or die by starvation? To further perfect our safety, We might manufacture rubber cars so that when the magnet failed to work, there would be less chance of accident. We might also encase the car with nets to catch stray jaywalkers. These nets might also be used for pas- senger seats. The car could also be sup- plied With self-propelled Wings, so that when a person decided to speed, he could leave the ground. and travel faster without danger of hitting anybody. The wings would remove the problem of taking in every friend or stranger that asks for a ride. Moreover, you would not be forced to wait for people to cross the street before you could move. I Of course, traffic policemen would ob- ject to this great decrease in traHic, and scientific murderers would raise an inter- national cry. But, the magnetic device, the rubber car, the pedestrian nets, and the self-propelled wings would reduce auto- mobile deaths. All that we have to do is to supply them. ,FWlI,,,,. .....

CADUCEUS If HIS, the first Caduceus, is, perhaps, only 'the Caduceus in the making, an initiatory step toward near per- fection in some future issue. For, as the student body is new and incom- pletely moulded in its final form that will endure, so also has this publication, which is an enterprise of it, yet to create prece- dents and a personality. In just what way these will develop remains a question. The Caduceus' is not a journalistic achievement of the gifted few: it directly represents the school as a whole to the world in general. Books are the indestruct- ible heritage of mankind to posterity. Each edition of the Caduceus should be the sympathetic record of the life, the hopes, the accomplishments of the term it repre- sents, Work, students all, to make the next Caduceus a masterpiece, and fitting monu- ment to the advancement which each term brings in our increased powers. In what- soever gratifying degree that object may be fulfilled, it will be the result of an activity and interest issuing only from an individual sense of ownership, manifesting itself in a desire to make the Caduceus prosper by contributions. If you develop a worth-while thought, express it. If you have in mind an enter- taining idea of any description, place it on paper for the delectation of all, and for your own satisfaction. To do so, is your inherent right and supreme privilege as a member of Beaumont High School. Ninety-six What glorious prospect is open to our view! The combined effort, the best work, not of a limited editorial staff, but of thousands-all to make the Caduceus a living thing to sparkle with the summit and to present to its readers a joyous fresh enthusiasm of its own. The Caduceusl of the students and for them-the sole property of each pupil. Long may it live! PETER BRAROE. OUR TASK .K V! lTH attractive surroundings and a large student body, there is a great opportunity to show what we can do in developing a fine school To be loyal to your school is to it. Do all you possibly can do. Boys, go out for the teams: girls, support them. If you join clubs, attend their meet- ings, and help to form dignified organiza- tions that will better the school. Help your semi-annual publication by soliciting advertisements or contributing literary ar- ticles. Observe all the rules and regula- tions though you may not always under- stand why they are necessary. Service is the big thing that will tend to make this large body a unit. The task, which lies before us all, is doing what we can to accomplish the establishment of that spirit which will unite us, and make us regret to leave Beaumont's halls. Loyalty means service and service means love. BERNICE GLUTZ. spirit. serve VL, . it +.6rw.ffwMw,ft 71 se- THE CADUCEUS CO-OPERATION EAUMONT HIGH! What a won- derful slclhoolll dExEen though it IPAQ: Q' was rat er ar or us to eave ilk our respective schools, we have formed, so to speak, a new community. Do we all realize the immensity, the gran- deur, the possibilities of this, our new school? lt is beautiful, it is modern, it is large. That is what St. Louis is striving for-new, better, larger, and finer build- ings. Surely Beaumont is a wonderful ad- dition to the architecture that makes St, Louis prominent. Pause to consider that approximately twenty-five hundred students have come together from various schools, both ele- mentary and high schools, to form a new community: and then realize the co-oper- ative spirit with which both the faculty and student bodies are working. There has been manifest a harmony of spirit that augurs great things for Beau- mont. At first the faculty and student bodies began working under rather difficult cir- cumstances, as the building had not yet reached its full completion: but with the splendid co-operation of all, much has been accomplished. One of the trying con- ditions that interfered with our daily rou- tine of study was the lack of the use of our lunch room, so that it was necessary to have only one-half day of school. But again, co-operation on the part of the school body assisted the workmen so that the lunch room was opened during the third week of school. The students of the school are to be congratulated on the line spirit which they showed during the first trying days.

Oh, for a spring vacation! is on the lips of almost every victim of that annual disease, spring fever. Every year during these months there is a tenden- cy to spend less time on lessons.

Honor socmv Q- 'Q Z A W ,YN Ewlll.. THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY HE National Honor Society was established to create an enthusiasm for' scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to pro- mote leadership, and to develop character in the students of American secondary schools. To determine student membership in the National Honor Society, the principal submits to the faculty, and also to the student body, an alphabetical list of seniors comprising the highest twenty-live per cent of the class in scholarship rank. A faculty council then considers the recom- mendations for or against the candidates from other faculty members and also from members of the student body, and elects not more than iifteen per cent of the graduating class to the society. The emblem of this society is the key- stone and flaming torch. The keystone bears at its base the letters S, L, C and S, which stand for the four cardinal prin- ciples of the organization: Scholarship, Leadership, Character and Service. As the keystone is placed by the builder to hold the perfect arch in perpetual stability, so the structure of our education must be held Iirm and true to the purpose of life by the virtues represented in this symbol. Scholarship is the power of the mind to dispel ignorance and superstition through scientific investigation of truth: Leader- ship is the power of personality that blazes the trail for man's upward climb: Char- acter, the composite of all the common virtues, sets the seal of righteousness upon while Service is a our education, the our every endeavour, beginning and end of altar of altruism from which God's bless- ings to man have been vouchsafed. Thus the keystone symbolizes the high ideals of our society. The flaming torch is the emblem of our purpose. To bear forward the searching light of truth, to lead that others may follow in the light, to keep burning in our school a high ambition for the enduring values of life+these purposes are symbolized in the torch.

H.. ' .t ' we at - THE CADUCEUS TI-IESENIORS 441.4 S OPE long deferred maketh the heart sad. 'iWeeping may en- dure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. This we of the Senior Class in Beaumont High found true while waiting long to begin our activi- ties as a class. The decisions made at the organization meeting proved wise, for our most worthy president is Eugene Beumer, and he has for his assistant and co-worker, Thelma Weber. Helen Tiefenbrunn represents us at Student Council meetingsi Bernice Soe- der keeps all our records: the money -bags are guarded by Milton Olendorphg Marie Quernheim, Lillian Esslinger and Roland Kolman direct the general welfare of the class, and William Wagener is elected Caduceus Correspondent. We have chosen for our colors, tanger- ine and silver. In tangerine, there is the glowing ardor of youth, zeal in pursuit of high ideals. In silver, there is the dura- bility of a broader experience combined with the dignity of a more cautious spirit. Could a class desire higher qualities? Our motto, UFervor in Resolving, Striv- ing, Triumphingf' is one, we believe, in keeping with the efforts of the class. Our colors stimulate fervor, and with fervor, we resolve, we strive, and we must tri- umph. We strive to be first in all we have resolved. Have you noticed, by the way, that our motto spells first ? Then, there are senior customs which this class has the honor of establishing. We are indeed pioneers, Beaumont pio- neers. As we look forward to the special events of the remainder of the term, we have tried to arrange customs that can be observed by following classes. As a result, three class days have been planned, Color Day, Farewell Day, and Commencement. On the first of these, the class, appearing before the school for the first time as an One Hundred organized body, will present to the school, at an auditorium session, its colors in the form of ribbons, a personal decoration, and a class pennant designed and made by members of the class. The pennant is to fly under Old Glory on all special Senior days, and during the whole of Commencement Week. On the second, the class will again appear in the auditorium, this time for the observance of Farewell Day. With great ceremony, the class ban- ner, symbolic of the class ideals, is to be passed on to the New Seniors, that they may keep up the high standards of the parting class. On the third, Commence- ment Day, graduation exercises will be held at four o'clock. A Class dinner will follow, after which there will be a party in the gymnasium. At this evening func- tion, in the course of time, the Beaumont Alumni Association will welcome the suc- cessive newly graduating classes into the organization. This year, of course, there being no Alumni Association, members of the class of June, 1926, will have to wel- come themselves and establish the organi- zation. Still other things that had to be ar- ranged with an eye to the future, were the designs for school stationery, rings and pins. For these, there has been made a happy use of a bas-relief of Dr. Beaumont, and the medical symbol, the Caduceus, As we look back over this last term and take stock of it, we realize that as a class, we have both lost and gained by our re- moval to Beaumont. In other words, we find that occupying the unique position of the first class to graduate from Beau- mont has its disadvantages as well as its advantages. The date of our organization was postponed, and the period of our so- cial activities has consequently been short- ened, On the other hand, we have enjoyed the honor of blazing the trail for future classes, U-Xl N Q I Q xgfnptgvx g ,.fq,,Ja .... t frimt- i?:.:'S szckatia-.fs '?

U S MUCH ADO By DOROTHY KNAPP as VEN if we can't be the first class t me We ll be the second besides we N are the iirst New Seniors, ar- gued the optimistic Ann Jarvis to a group of her friends. Of course, it would be nice to be the Hrst class, but I'm very well satisfied. Things ought to go off much more smoothly the second time, added Burton Kelly. And say! Aren't we lucky to have such a grand school from which to be graduated? Yes, amended Lillian Allen, with such a large auditorium, we ought to be able to invite lots of our friends. 'Lillian has so many friends that she is beginning already to worry about which ones and how many she can invite, teased Elizabeth Allen. UMaybe we'll be the first to have a real Senior play, too. At least, I hope so, intimated Sylvia Kleinschmidt. Have you all heard the last bulletin? At last, we New Seniors are going to have a meeting, announced Albert Schneider. 'KOh, I'm so glad! Well, I must go. So long, everybody. See you the seventh, and Marguerite Luebbert left, promising to rejoin them later in the day. Myl I thought those last periods would never end, was Dorothy Dieck- meyer's greeting to her friends at the end of the sixth hour. Let's go down to aud., or we'll be late, suggested Everett Brodage. A'Goodness, I just can't wait until we finish counting those ballots. I'm so anxious to know who will be our presi- dent, cried Theodora Herbster. Do be still, Teddy: Mr. Fuller is an- im! .. Q to graduate from Beaumont, ns -v --u-1 ' . ' .4-,v , , nouncing the results, begged Helen Schaaf. A'Good! It's Ralph Peters. I know he'1l make a fine president. Aren't you all glad? exclaimed Ralph Hartnagel. We surely are, they agreed. Now for a secretary. We Want some one who can easily be heard so that we won't have to strain our ears to understand what she is saying, the practical Leonora Weeke suggested. There certainly are a great many can- didates, observed Jane Lahey. It won't be very easy to choose. f'Surely enough. Mr. Puller is saying that the votes are very close, but Florence Schuerman has the greater number, Oscar Ostrom volunteered. We so want some dependable person to take care of our money, don't we? asked Kenneth Kork Korkoian. Clarence Papendick is chosen as treas- urer. I'm sure he'll be a good one, too, predicted Dorothy Wagner. Next comes a correspondent for the Caduceus. Somebody who likes to work ought to get that office. Believe me, I should not like to have to rack my brain for thoughts to put into the New Senior article, laughed Hazel Haverporth. Last, but not least, is a Student Coun- cil Representative. Who will he he? won- dered Virginia Forsyth. HTo me it is a great honor to be chosen for the Student Council, and I hope our representative feels the same way about it, said Dorothy Williamson. So do I. Sh-h-h-h, Mr. Fuller is tell- ing us who he is. Did he say Burton Kelly? Good! I know he'll do his part and do it well, declared Ralph Peters. One Hundred One . BASKETBALL By EDWARD SCHNEIDER T the start of the season we toppled by good scores in order, Principia, EQ Ritenour, the Yeatman Alumni, and Clayton. When the Inter- scholastic League started, we kept up the winning streak for a while, beating Sol- dan, Roosevelt, and Cleveland. Thus the team won every one of its first seven games. Then we met Central and lost in the last two minutes of play. That was just the beginning of our hard luck, however, for we lost to Soldan in an extra-period game, to Roosevelt in a contest requiring three extra periods, and to Cleveland in a game which was lost in the last few min- utes. After this, we again lost to Central in our last league game and finished in a tie for third place with Roosevelt. One Hundred Two In the meantime the team had won in practice contests from McBride, Prep. League championsg St. Louis U. High, runner-up to McBride, and Maplewoodg and lost to Webster and to Principia in a second clash. We next enrolled for the Washington University Tournament, in which were entered more than forty strong teams from Missouri and Illinois. In the first round we drew a blank. In the second, the team soundly trounced Vandalia, Illinois, 44-7. The third-round game was with East St. Louis, a really strong quintet. Beaumont shone its brightest in the contest and won handily by a 28-18 score. Our fourth- round opponent, Mt. Carmel, Illinois, proved to be our conqueror. Beaumont, lf Xl N 5355 J ,e vbyu 3 lajgiaq 'WA Sjjmgxxz QW I U ' If T H E C A D U C E U S exhausted by the earlier games and appar- ently discomfited by the tremendous Wash- ington Field House floor, put up a mediocre battle and lost, 40-29. There the season ended, the team hav- ing a record of twelve victories and seven defeats. This was, however, the best per- formance of the team for four or five years, which fact shows that under Coach Ray- mond C. Lewis we are nearing champion- ship calibre. ln regard to the players, there were seven regulars. The first to be mentioned is Captain Charles Ens, one of the leaders of the league in point scoring. Ens in the first game with Roosevelt piled up nine- teen points, but did not equal that effort again during the season. The next is Richard Spuering, forward on the All-star Interscholastic Team and leading scorer of the High School League. Spuering is, undoubtedly, one of the most brilliant and consistent players that the school team has ever had. He is a dead shot and a wonderful floor man: in short, he is a real basketball player. In the Mt. Carmel game it was Dick who made sev- eral scintillating long shots that kept us in the running for a while. Next is Jean Neil, who was unable to play for most of the season, but who surely made up for lost time when he finally did break into the line-up. ln the three games at Washington University he averaged fourteen points for each one, which scoring IS a record. Now .comes Raymond Thiele, forward and running guard, who, despite his small stature, displayed inspiring gameness throughout all of our games. We come next to Oliver Weiss, running guard. Ollie played a dependable offensive and defensive game in all contests despite the fact that his smallness was a great disadvantage on the Roosevelt court. Next is Lester Smith, the back guard. Red played a steady game and showed his usual courage every minute that he was in the play. Last is Edward Schneider, who alter- nated with Smith at back guard. The reserve strength of the team was evident in all contests. The reserves were composed of Milton Oldendorph, center: Herbert Steideman and William Herd- brink, forwards: and Otto Rost and Michael Barnhouse, guards. Next year's prospects are, without any spoofing, really bright, The regulars who will be back are Neil, Weiss, and Schneider, with Steideman, Heiclbrink, Rost, Barn- house, and Maysack of the reserves. Nothing is absolutely sure, but we predict that, with a team composed of men like those listed above, we'll be up and coming next year. One Hundred Three TRACK SQUAD l l ,g THE CADUCEUS TRACK rg wi ELL, here we are, starting our Hrst ig as track season at Beaumont. lt T d N J soun s good to hear the ew ays ' asking one another who threw the seventy-five-yard low hurdles last year, and who ran the six-pound shot. By the way, perhaps you need an in- troduction to our newest addition to the coaching staff. We'll introduce you to Mr. Eager. He is a real fellow, and he knows his campus when it comes to track. He is very modest, and when you really know him, he is a man to gain your admiration. He knows boys, too, in and out, and he seldom finds it necessary to speak or look iternly at them, but when he does-oh, oy! What can l tell you about Coach Lewis that you do not already know? He needs no introduction. We are mighty proud of him, and we don't mean Hperhapsf' The longer he stays with us, the better he gets, and, incidentally, the better we get. We will now proceed to the letter-men and introduce them in alphabetical order. This will be done merely to refresh your memory, and to let the New Jays know whom to look at in awe and admiration. Of course, we'll tell you why they are on the team, too. Right on the top of this list is Beumer. Beumer was a Junior fifty-man and he has decided to try the century in the Senior division. Brodage, that fellow with the yellow hair, is also a hundred-man and claims the distinction of teaching Beumer to run. Brodage is also a broad jumper who knows all the tricks of the trade. That little fellow with his face all illu- minated with smiles is Esslinger. He is still a midget and practically has the hur- dle race sewed up. He's a broad jumper, too. That fellow sitting in the corner blush- ing from ear to ear is Gehring. He may look like a false-alarm, but the kid has an overdose of what Coach Lewis calls fight, and his puny arm can hurl a shot a great distance. He runs a wicked furlong. Right on the left here, we find a small package of speed and spring. Besides be- ing a demon in the hundred, he is prob- ably our best senior pole-vaulter. He is a perfect comic-strip, even to his name. Of course, you know Gump. Gump is a high- jumper of no mean ability. That little sheik there is the famous Ed- die Heilman. lsn't he cute? He is a real hurdler: that, too, in spite of his looks. lt is rumored that he can put the shot, too. Who knows? Sitting right next to Eddie is Mr. Daniel Hockstadt, Danny makes the girls gasp when he clears the bar at such impossible heights, or when he steps so easily over the hurdles. Right up here in the front row with his feet all over the floor is Burt Kelly. He runs the hurdles, either high or low. Kelly thinks he can broad-jump. That isn't say- ing what others think. That fellow with the vacant expression. sitting behind his spare-panes, is Mayer. Mayer is fast, and no question about it, and he runs the four-forty for a warm-up. One Hundred Five l JN, -N W - ee?m ,J 'J - A0 -1 1 ' .l A ' 'Y' nk 1 7A6'!?'lM Rl? U- 5 F O fig ik ' ,,' KT fi . lr 1 t T H E C A D U C E U S Here is another sheik, too, girls! Of course, Jack Mulvihill is not bashful. He can high-jump mostly, but sometimes he knocks off a few points in the hurdles. Next, well, let's see! Come on, Olden- dorph, you're next: bow for the people. He has to bow to get his head down where we can see it. Bertha fthat is what some call himj can run the high hurdles, the eight-eighty and the mile all in good time, and sometimes he runs the furlong. This little husky is Shaunberg. He is a fifty man and he knows his weights in the shot put. Of course, you all know Schneider. He is our four-forty and half-miler, our broad-jumper, shot-putter, and high- jumper. He is a Junior. Come on, Schneider, and let them see you. Speaking of bashfulness, we have a wonderful opportunity to introduce a red- head to you. He's bashful, no foolingg but he never is flustered in spike shoes. Just watch him run and then watch him jump. He certainly is worthy of the name of Captain which title he bears with Burt Kelly. Right there behind Red, the forlorn- looking fellow is Pete Steffan. See him laugh when l said that? Yes, he laughs One Hundred Six at anything, but Pete can alford to. He heaves a distant shot and runs a mean hur- dle, and when l say run, I mean run. Here is another of those red-heads. Seems funny how they monopolize the speed. They usually know a thing or two about the broad jump, and Johnny Thompson is no exception. My goodness! Come here, Schultz, and get introduced. You see, he is so small I couldn't see him at first, Schultz is an- other midget hurdler, and although he's not red-headed, he knows the broad jump. As we introduce our high-jumper, John Umbeck, note how lithe and springy his slim body looks. Perhaps it isn't so evi- dent to you as he stands here, but he didn't get a medal at the Washington lndoor Meet for decorating the field-house! He won it jumping, and he beat all local l'champs doing it. Now we are down to the Z's and we take great pleasure in introducing Zulauf, last, but not least. He is an expert on the hurdles and he's an expert broad-jumper. How do you like these fellows? Seven- teen letter-men who could make a cracker- jack team without our new material and who are so Versatile that they could fill in every event in spite of the overdose of sprinters and hurdlers. ix J fm: N ,.N ll ' dh V wr f, ,QA lg-A-,QQ ki T K fr 2 Au -U' E f Z THET '- gems NWO TRQQS Qyjgggqw 7 Hu, J qw E57 TT?

The sport that attracts the whole countryl The sport we all love! ' A Beaumont High School boys are no exception to this statement, and when our coach, Mr. Lewis, who succeeded Mr. Hill, announced that Baseball should start, some fifty or sixty boys responded. Hav- ing only two lettermen back from last year, Coach Lewis had a real job on his hands. Harold A'Lefty Grant, our star hill artist, and Clifford Moog, who performed in right field last year, were put up as candi- dates for captain. After a stormy election, Lefty,' was chosen to lead the club. Workouts were started immediately in our gym, and our boys were singled out. By the time the spring weather set in, Mr. Lewis knew just about what the boys could do, Herm Puls had distinguished himself as the liveliest of the catchers, while Biehl ran him a close second. Bill Slater proved a new find for our hurling corps, and an able help to the great 'iLefty. He also is a portsider. At the initial cushion, Heuser looked best with Joe Soraghan as his understudy. At second, George Heuerman looked best, and was given the place over Charles Reither, who proved weak with the stick. Eddie Fisher, who starred in the latter part of last season's games, again showed his ability in copping the third base position. Louis Jordan, who expected to bolster the pitching staff, had to quit the game be- cause of trouble with his eye. His loss left us with only one right-handed twirler, Cliff Moog. Irish Neil, playing short, filled out one of the best infields ever de- veloped by the North Side School. There were many candidates for the outfield berths: Ray Hartman, Billy Harkins, Red Smith, Oswald Lautenschlager, Bug Beasley, Cliff Moog, M. Ens, Beumer, Mulvihill, Roller. Harkins finally landed the left field job, with Smith in center, and Moog and Beasley alternating in right, A practice game was held with McBride in which we were defeated 5-1. McBride found Grant in the pinches and managed to drive over live markers. Then came our first League game, which we won 3-2, The bludgeons of Grant and Frank Heuser drove in our runs.

One Hundred Nine BOYS' GYMNASTIC CLUB THE CADUCEUS GYM CLUB By J AMES J ENNINGS i. ' HF Gym Clutlln wasghe first clulizto Q ju e organize at eaumont. or weeks over at Yeatman Mr. Lehr- 4 mann had been teaching the boys new gym feats and had been getting them ready for our first exhibition dedication night. We have a very large membership in our club, but all are not able to attend every meeting on account of being out for track and baseball. Every member of our club is working hard and trying to set a very high standard of work for future members. I am sure that loyalty and true Beaumontite spirit will predominate in our club. On dedication night we gave our first exhibition. The exhibition was a master- piece. There wasn't a detail that could have been improved upon. Mr. Fahren- krog, President of the Board of Education, was very complimentary in his remarks and said that the spirit of such work should certainly be shown. We are pos- sibly going to give two more exhibitions this term. One of them is going to be at the Fathers' and Sons' Banquet, May 7, and the other on New Junior Night, May 21. On April 7 we elected our officers. Rex Uphouse, a well-known gymnast of this city, was elected Student Council Repre- sentative, Irvin Hoener was made presi- dent and Olta Rost was elected vice-presi- dent, For secretary-treasurer, Albert Glaze- brook was elected, and for Caduceus Cor- respondent, James Jennings. Every year the Gym Club has an in- spiring motto, as Mr. Lehrmann is keen on mottoes. This year our motto is, The Diamond Was Charcoal Once, But It Stuck to Its Job. flag?

Mr. Fuller has allowed us to organize under the sponsorship of Miss McQuiston. who is very experienced in this work. The first thing we did was to elect our officers. These were the election returns: Student Council R6p1'6S211t21tiV6,,,,, ,,,,, ,, Mary Beresfgrd President 1 ,,., Mary I.

Janet Mangold Third-Year DIFBCIOI' Y--.,YY,. ., ,Annabelle Wittman Fourth-Year Directors ,,,,, Beatrice and Bernice Glutz Don't you think we elected a dandy group of oflicers? At our first meeting there were 230 present, Where were the rest of you girls? We need you-and you need the opportunities our association affords. Remember the B. G. A. A. is for first-year girls as well as for those of the upper years. In the second meeting the constitution, which was drawn up by the officers of our organization, was presented to the club. The club voted to accept the constitution. The girls surely showed wonderful spirit in the way they conducted the meeting. Vyfith such businesslike girls, this organiza- tion should be a great success. Naturally you will ask, What are these great opportunities you have to offer? We give you the 'chance of becoming an officer, of participating in various lines of activities, and of attending our annual party, The nine lines of work we offer are: apparatus, baseball, basketball, dancing, hiking, hockey, skating, swim- ming, and tennis. Miss Harrison has charge of baseball and tennis, and Miss Soecknick directs the girls interested in swimming. Miss Krumeich instructs those interested in apparatus work. Miss Loretto Amend directs the dancing club. We will also have directors for the other activities, but as yet we haven't chosen the directors, Surely you will be interested in at least one of the foregoing activities. Remember, we also give honors for the work in every one of these nine lines. In general, every girl who is a member of the G. A. A, is given five points for an hour's work in any of the above men- tioned activities. One will also receive fifty points for regular gymnasium work. For four hundred points you will receive a numeral of royal blue and gold felt. When a girl earns eight hundred points, she re- ceives a HB. If she makes twelve hun- dred points, she will be presented with a pin. Are not those rewards worth striving for? Well, hurry and get busy earning your points. Now last, but not least, is our annual party. This big party will be One Hundred Thirteen A at aan,-.111 - -,. l , , 1? . Q? Gr' J WHEN' U- L .,C J U .Qr'5p'JffT.

This party should be of special interest to those of the lower terms, for it is the only social event which they are privileged to attend. Come and have a good time with us at our first party in '26. Just think of all the good times you can have and the honors you may win for just twenty-five cents a term. Besides having a good time, you are able to develop yourself mentally, socially, and physically. You can develop your mind through games which require quick thinking. One can develop the social side of one's life by co-operating with other girls and by developing good sportsman- ship. We also have the opportunity of -ll N making our bodies strong and healthy. This last phase of development should be of special interest to you Beaumontites, for is not our school named in honor of Dr. Beaumont, who was vitally concerned in restoring and maintaining people's health? In the annals of Beaumont Girls' Ath- letic Association, there is a blank page, What will our successors see Written on that page? Of course, we are not prophet- esses, but at least We can do our part in making a worth-while history for our as- sociation. We cordially invite every girl in Beaumont to join and help us make our organization one which future Beaumont- ites will support with pride. 2'- 'O 'N ' he ZZJQQ rider QQ vs 'O One Hundred Fourteen GZ?

For the benefit of those who have not be- longed to the club and do not know about the kind of work we do and the good times we have, we are going to tell you something about it. The Apparatus Club meets under the supervision of a most efficient director, Miss Krumeich, who willingly devotes much time to the club. Under her direc- tion the work has proved to be very in- teresting. Our meetings are held every Tuesday, from 2:45 to 4:00. Now for the work. The first thing on the program is setting-up exercises, and it is surprising how much easier the apparatus work seems after you have learned how to do these exercises satisfactorily. Then we have marching drills, which are also very interesting and helpful. These are followed by the apparatus work, which is the main part of the lesson and takes up the greater part of the lesson time. ln doing this work, the whole club is divided into four groups, each working at a different appara- tus. Lastly, there is always some kind of game, which the members choose. Besides the fun they get from the ap- paratus work, the members get a better understanding of gym work and are given the opportunity to learn some exercises which they cannot learn during a short gym period. The Club gives ninety points towards the G. A. A. credits every term, Extra points are given to any member who can do, in perfect form, certain specified things, such as climbing to the top of the pole, doing the scissors, and quite a few other things. The Apparatus Club is one of the most popular clubs for girls in the school. Its popularity is shown in the fact that there are 125 girls actually in the club, and there is a large waiting list. The only requirement for membership is that you must be a member of the G. A. A. and have an earnest interest in the work. We have been somewhat delayed in beginning this term because the gym dressing room has not been ready for use. We have had only one lesson so far but intend to accomplish a great deal in the remainder of the term. We are very proud of the fact that we have Ann Jarvis as Student Council Rep- resentative.

IQ THE CADUCEUS THE GIRLS' BASEBALL CLUB By MARION JOSTEDT T have organized a baseball club and over one hundred girls have Joined. It is divided into two ' groups, one meeting on Wednes- day and the other on Thursday, from two-thirty to four o'clock. We have had several meetings at which we have discussed the important points of the game, and have had a little catching and batting practice. We are now anxious- ly waiting for suitable weather and a chance to go out and get into the game, for that is the only way to learn, after all. From the enthusiasm and understanding of the game which have been displayed in the discussions, we may expect to have some very exciting games. The captains have been chosen and the teams picked. While we will, of course, try to play our best, we expect to get a lot of fun out of it whether we win or lose, and with Miss Harrison as our coach and pinch-umpire, to continue to learn more and more about this popular Ameri- can game. Henrietta Wrausman was chosen Presi- dent of the clubg Ruth Bohle, Student Council Representative: and Marion Jostedt, Caduceus Correspondent. The Wednesday group elected Hazel I-Iuning as the Secretary and Lillian Storck as the Treasurer of that division. The girls of the Thursday group elected Ethel Baer for Secretary and Olive Sydnor for Treasurer. BOYS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION By EVERETT BRODAGE I-I Boys' Athletic Association is one of the most important boys' organizations in the school, both from the athletic standpoint and from the pleasure standpoint. To be a member of any school athletic team, a boy must belong to this associa- tion. From this organization come the funds with which to buy athletic equip- ment for the different teams. To those who do not belong to any team, there is granted the privilege of receiving a reduc- tion on any athletic article which they may wish to buy. A Now, from the pleasure standpoint, once each term we have what is called Dad's Night. On this eventful evening, the members of the association bring their Dads to school. There is entertainment for everyone, and the fathers are made ac- quainted with some of the things which their sons are doing in athletic activities. The coaches give talks on the different teams, and the president of the association is called on to show his ability as a speaker. During the evening the coaches become ac- quainted with the Dads and tell them how their sons are progressing in athletics. As a climax to the evening, the boys escort their Dads to the lunch room to partake of refreshments, These are only a few reasons why every boy in the school should belong to the B. A. A.. We ask every father's son of you to join this big and prosperous or- ganization.

W W ' Why, it is we, the Girls' Ukulele Club of Beaumont, and we feel important, too. One thing that makes us feel so, is the fact that we are such a large organi- zation. Just think, we have had an aver- age of eighty members at each meeting. To be sure, the school has not heard from us, but it will in time. We have been extremely fortunate in securing Miss La Berge as our sponsor, for she is an interested and enthusiastic worker. We also have a well-chosen group of officers, many of whom you already know. They are: Student Council Representative ..,.,,, ,,,,,, , Thelma Weber President ,,,,,r.,,,,,,, c ,,,,,, Mary Beresford Vice-President ,,,.,, , ,,,,,,, Dorothy Wagner Secretary ..,,,.,,,.,r ...,,,,.,. C hrystle Shade Treasurer ,...,,,,.,., . ,. ,,.,,,, Charlotte Grunow Because of the large number of mem- bers, it was found necessary to divide the club into two groups: in the first, those who knew how to play, led by Mary Beresford: in the second, those who were just learning, taught by Norbeth Duby. To both we extend our heartiest thanks, One of the advantages of the ukulele is that it appeals to those who have not the time to Work out the technique of an instrument. Such an instrument as the violin is more difficult to play than the ukulele and should be given more time and practice. Another advantage is that with the technique reduced to a minimum, playing the ukulele really cultivates an ear for harmony. Many who play musical in- struments concentrate so deeply on their technique that they forget to listen to the harmony of what they are trying to ex- press. There are, however, arrangements of every kind to suit every taste-nursery rhymes, parodies, camp songs, home songs, patriotic songs, Southern melodies, light opera, and even grand opera find ex- pression on the ukulele. We shall not fail to put forth all our energy to learn these arrangements, but we do not intend to do only work, for we shall have our grand party each term and have a perfectly glorious time. Don't some of you girls want to help us in our work and play? We are not too large and would welcome you if you'd care to join us. One Hundred Twenty-one THE ORCHESTRA .

It was '5 x'a started with great success, sixty- seven members enrolled under the leader- ship of Mr. Birr. We had to begin work immediately, because we were called upon to play on March 12, dedication night. NE of the first clubs to organize ,.s.Tr,4 The orchestra played three selections: College Stunts ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, J. S. Zamecnick Knights and Ladies ,,,,,,,,,,,, J. S. Zamecnick Light Cavalry ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, F. V. Suppe Those who attended will agree that our music was very tuneful. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from one-thirty to three we furnish the school with brilliant symphonic tones, but alas, no one can hear us, because a large orchestra room was built for our use on the fourth floor. This orchestra room is one of the largest rooms in the school and faces the Fairgrounds Park. Since we practice two days a week, we hope to ac- complish a great deal. But do not think we have all work and no play, for we really have a good time at every meeting. We have elected the following officers for the present term: Student Council Member ,,,, John Schneider President ,,,,,,,,,,,,., ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, R uth Brummel Vice-President ..,.....,,,,,,,,,,,, John Goldman Secretary ....,,,,........, ,..........,... R uth Kemp Caduceus Correspondent,,Marcella Schroer Treasurer .,,..,..,.......,, Browning Rosenthal Librarian ,,,..,r.,,..,,..,,...,...,..,, Joseph Pohle The Orchestra owns several instru- ments: a flute, a cello and two trombones, and we lend these instruments to anyone who joins the Orchestra and can play one of them. At the present time several stu- dents are using these instruments. Paul Panter is learning to play the flute: John Norris and William Hambacker, the trom- bones, and Lillian Radzom, the cello. We hope that they will soon be able to play these instruments, and play with the Or- chestra. If there is any student of the school who would like to become a member of the Orchestra, come and join it. You will be welcomed in a most cordial manner. This is a splendid opportunity for anyone who plays an instrument to get excellent practice in playing with a large number of different instruments. Mr. Birr takes great pains in conducting the Orchestra, and does everything in his power to help us. So all those who think they would be in- terested in this work should see him. There is an old saying, Say it with flowers but this time Say it with music. Join the Orchestra. One Hundred Twenty-three BOYS' GLEE CLUB f 1 .- Y- -N. i Y l l i - up g g T I-l E C A D U C E U S BOYS' GLEE CLUB By ROBERT WOODSON the third of March the Beau- mont Boys' Glee Club met for organization in Room 304. ' 'M' About twenty-five members were present to elect officers. The following were elected to office for this term: Student Council Representative ,,,,,,,,,,,, Ernest Spellmeyer President.. ,.,,, ,WW ,,,,,,, ,,,, ,mlrrank Heuser Vice President, e,,te,.....,,,e,,,,,,, Harold Puls Treasurer ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, . ..August Hempelmann Secretary and Caduceus Correspondent ...,,,,,,,, Robert Woodson Under the direction of Mr, Saeger, our club has grown larger and larger until it now has a membership of fifty-five boys. From these large ranks a double quar- tette was selected for public performances. On March nineteenth the double quartette had the honor of singing over the radio from station WSBF. The members of the double quartette are Wesley Jackson and Joe Richman, first tenors: Ernest Spell- meyer and Sylvester Bartels. second tenors: Harold Puls and Robert Woodson, bari- tones: and William Wilmsmeier and August Hempelmann, basses. Cn another occasion, the double quartette sang at an auditorium session. The Cilee Club is taking hold of an un- usually interesting problem of assisting the seniors and the Girls' Glee Club in giving an Operetta, The Gypsy Rover, which is to be presented to the school the early only part of June. As this is to be the school entertainment to be given this term at Beaumont, the club members are very were enthusiastic over the fact that they 1 asked to help in the presentation of this operetta. . To Mr. Saeger, our able director, and to Miss Walser, our pianist, we wish to ex- press our thanks for making our club such a huge success this term. BEAUMONT MOTHERS' CLUB By ELIZABETH S, STELLWAGEN HE accusation is made against the modern mother that she is thrust- ing on the school and church the problem of the upbringing of her children, while she fritters her time in so- ciety and what-not. The women in the Beaumont district can refute that state- ment most emphatically. Since many felt the need of opportunities for study- ing such problems, a mothers' club was formed at Yeatman High School two years ago. From the Hrst, much interest and enthusiasm were manifested and splen- did audiences have heard and profited by the talks on the various phases of child welfare and school problems. From all sides have come expressions indicating the help resulting from this co-operation of home and school. When Beaumont was opened, the Yeatman Mothers' Club moved also and, of course, the name was changed to Beaumont. Interest was quick- ened and now we look forward to in- creased usefulness and pleasure. The social side of the Mothers' Club is a great asset. It is stimulating to come in contact with those from the various neigh- borhoods and a cup of coffee goes a long way in breaking the ice among strangers. lt is hoped many more women who are interested in the Beaumont children will come to the meetings next year and thus spread the spirit of interest, co-operation and helpfulness over an ever-widening area. One Hundred Twenty-five B CLU EMISTRY CH T I-I E C A D U C E U S CHEMISTRY CLUB By FRANCIS MAURER H HEN'S the Chem Club going to meet? This was a question asked of Mr. Bell and of various former members at the beginning of the term. The Beaumont Chemistry Club began its career on March 9, in Room 125, under the sponsorship of Mr. Bell. At this meeting the twenty-five charter members elected the following officers: President ,..,.,..,,,.,,,,,,,,,,, .Robert Woodson Vice-President ,,,,.... ,.,,,,,, E lnora Shumate Secretary ,,,,....,.,.,,,,.,...,, ,Dorothy Wagner Treasurer ,.,,,.,7....,.,...,,,,,,,s Charles Reither Caduceus Correspondent ,,,, Frances Maurer Student Council Representative ,,,,,,,,..,, Marie Quernheim Soon after organization we sent out the call for new members, Twenty-five students answered the call and on March 30, these twenty-live became members. The very interesting procedure or cere- monies through which the applicants must pass was the main event of the afternoon. The refreshments, consisting of hot dogs and eclairs, were immensely enjoyed, after which repast we repaired to the Girls' Gym for a few dances. Of course, you have all heard of our famous outings at Fern Glen. If you don't believe we have loads of fun, just ask someone who attended an outing last term or the term before. Swimming, canoeing, dancing, and eating were a few of the things we enjoyed. However, don't get the idea that the club is all fun and no work. It is our earnest endeavor to make this club repre- sentative in the school. The Chemistry Department has been presented with a pic- ture machine and we intend to make use of it this term. Interesting and instructive talks along chemistry lines are to be given by the various members, and we feel cer- tain that our work will be instructive. Seventeen subjects have been assigned for the term, of which the following are a few: Treasure Hunting of Today: Corinne Netzer. Contribution of Chemistry to Modern Life: Frances Maurer. Chemistry Extending Its Frontiers: Louis O'Toole. Relation of Chemistry to Industries: Charles Reither. Relation of Chemistry to the Home: Helen Kahl. Relation of Chemistry to Agriculture: Marie Quernheim. Of course, we are rewarded for our work, not only by making our club a suc- cess, but by receiving B's. We have a point system and an accurate account of any service rendered the club is kept by Mr. Bell and the secretary. At the end of the term the deserving members are rewarded with a letter. Next term, if you take chemistry and become interested in the subject, you may wish to join a real, live, peppy organi- zation-the Chemistry Club. One Hundred Twenty-seven MATHEMATICS CLUB By JosEPH SORAGHAN' H HERE is something divine in the im science of numbers. Like God, it holds the sea in the hollow of its t ' Y hand. It measures the earth, it weighs the stars, it illuminates the uni- verse. lt is law, it is order, it is beauty. - Longfellow. The Math. Club of Beaumont High School met for the Hrst time on Thursday, March 4, nearly a month behind schedule. We met at l 130, during the seventh period, as Mr, Fuller has arranged to have most activities take place during school time. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: One Hundred Twenty-eight President .,,,,,,,,,,,......,. Milton Oldendorph Vice-President ,,,,,....,.r , .,,,,,,,, Jane Lahey Treasurer ,,,, . ,,,,, ,,,... H arold Luenebrink Secretary ,,,,,,,,, I .,,,,,,,,,,,,,, .,,, E rwin Kastrup Student Council ....,,,.,.,,,,,, Roland Kolman Caduceus Correspondentmloseph Soraghan We resolved to continue the good work of the Math. Club at Yeatman, with Miss Eitzen as our sponsor. The first topic of discussion of the term was The Use of the Slide Rule in Busi- ness. Three full meetings were devoted to the instruction of the slide rule by vol- unteers in the club. At the third meeting a list of topics was read, from which every . . 4- me-fs 55' X, fiblhi4!c 9k:'ldltE9?V'f'x.4'g xy El if Htl T H E C A D U C E U S member chose one, to present to the club at some future meeting. This will give each person a chance to appear before the audience. Three members of the club, Mr. Pippert, Mr. Tomforde, and Mr. Wiese, submitted designs for a Math. Club letter. From these, one was chosen to be awarded to ambitious members. To gain a B, a member has to earn eighty-three points. The slide rule was not the only topic in the club by any means. The history of mathematics, of famous mathematicians, and of mathematical theorems was also taken up. The study of mathematical puz- zles and of magic squares is also to be dis- cussed, The benefits derived from the Math. Club are great. When one studies mathe- matics, it is sometimes monotonous be- cause the student does not know the his- tory or origin of the figures with which he is working: whereas, when he learns the origin and the ancestry of his 'Ktoolsf' he gains a better grasp of the subject. The slide rule especially was beneficial. The quick and easy way in which it solves di- vision or multiplication of large numbers is very interesting. Jane Lahey and Har- old Luenebrink volunteered to explain the rule and their work was excellent and ap- preciated by the club. John Speicher has also served the club to a great extent, hav- ing showed the various methods of solving the Pythagorean Theorem and having also read an article entitled The Slide Rule in Business. All is not study and reciting in our club, as a party is planned for the latter part of the term. A One Hundred Twenty-nine CLASSICAL CLUB T H E C A D U C E U S THE CLASSICAL CLUB By FRANCES A. WOLF Classical hglulii held dits first . meeting on arc secon for the purpose of organizing. A very enthusiastic crowd' attended this meeting: indeed, all of our meetings have been well attended. If any one thinks that the Classical Club is uninteresting, just let him attend one of our meetings and we will assure him that he will go away with a different opinion. We elected a peppy group of officers, and the future of the club seems very bright. The officers are: Student Council Representative ,,,, ,,.. , Margery Sodemann President ..,,,.,,,,,,,,,,,, .Theodore Schneider Vice-President ,,..,,,,,,,, Roberta Matthews Secretary ff.a,,,,aa,..i,,,,aa. Marion Goodin Treasurer. .. ,,,,,,,cc,c,c, Margaret Carriere Caduceus Representative Frances Wolf To satisfy the wants of the different years of Latin, we have a representative of each year on our program committee. The chairman of the committee is Margery Sodeman: first-year representative, Russell Haydeng second-year, Cancel Watersg third-year, Ruth Thomure. As we have no fourth-year Latin student in the club, there are only four on the committee. The programs will be on Roman pri- vate life. We hope to learn about the most important phases of Roman life, such as the Roman house and its furnishings, Roman cookery, religion, education, and other similar things. These will not all be given as talks. We shall also have play- lets illustrating some of the phases. At present we are planning a simple Latin play, representing the Myth of Pyramus and Thisbe. We have several interesting Latin games, which, besides serving as an amusement, afford excellent practice in Latin syntax. Miss Heltzell, our faculty sponsor, tells us of the most interesting places she visited while in Rome. As soon as a lantern is available, we intend to have talks illustrated by lantern pictures. One of our aims in this club is to have every one participate in the club activities. At the end of each talk there is a general discussion. This, besides being very inter- esting, is very good practice in public speaking. At our social event this year We intend to celebrate the Feriae Latinae. This was an ancient festival of the Romans, during which all legal and political business was suspended. During this time the slaves also enjoyed cessation of labor, This feast was usually celebrated with rejoicings and merry-makings. We are all looking for- ward with great pleasure to this affair.

Competency and effl- ciency are the stepping stones. Sounds like school, doesn't it? The library is open from 9:00 a. m. to 9:30 p. m. Every one works forty- three hours a week. The first shift works from 9:00 to 5 :30. The second shift goes on at 1:00 and works until 9:30. - The Central Library has 6,500,000 books. How many have you read? There are seven regular branches, three school branches, one community branch, and four substations. Extension library work is car- ried on in over two hundred places. The trip was a most enjoyable one. l'm sure every one who went more fully appreciates the good things the library does for one. One Hundred Thirty-three THE PHYSICS CLUB Gi -Y-V . . W A-.

A committee has been appointed to draw up a constitution for the club. We also have a point system. Points may be earned in the following ways: by appearing on the program, by being of service to the club, and by attending trips. When a member has a total of nfty points, he receives a club monogram. We are planning on taking various trips to points of interest in the city. Ice plants, Cahokia, large dairies, foundries, and other places of interest are being considered. Mr. Mitchell is the sponsor of our club and has has been a great help in the progress of this organization. We have a program committee whose business it is to select interesting topics and assign them to the members, who prepare them and discuss the topics before the club. The chairman of this committee is Mr. McCollum. El s ' One Hundred Thirty-live STENOGRAPHY CLUB l 1 5. l 1 , T H E C A D U C E U S THE STENOGRAPHY CLUB By BEULAH HASSELKUSS A Q1 ITH the opening of the new Beau- mont High School, came the or- xrgfgg ganization of the Stenography Club. It began with the desire on the part of the students not only to be- come more proficient in the mastery of the signs and symbols that represent the sounds of our language, but also to find out where these originated and who were the people who first used them. The art of shorthand or a system of brief writing, capable of accurately record- ing human utterances as rapidly as they find expression, seems to date back to the earliest times of which we have any rec- ord. It is impossible to say that any one man is responsible for the origin of it. The inhabitants of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and Phoenicia used an abbreviated method of writing, although it cannot be said that they attained any speed in recording lan- guage. The Greeks used a peculiar kind of brief writing. Among the Romans it was fashionable to employ stenographers and they had shorthand schools in consid- erable numbers. The system of phonography devised by Isaac Pitman was first published in Eng- land in 1837 under the title of Steno- graphic Sound Hand, and was introduced into America in 1844. Since then other systems have arisen which have proved of value to the commercial world. The Stenographic Club was organized under the direction of Miss Falk in the early part of this term. The membership of the club is limited to the students taking stenography three or four. At the first meeting of the club the fol- lowing officers were elected: Student Council t Representative ,,,..,.,,,,,,......., Jennie Streck President ..,,..,,,,,,,r..,,..,, Clarence Papendick Vice-President ,,,t,, ,,,......t L awrence Dorn Secretary ,,,,,,,,,,. ,.,,,,,......,, M arie RiC6 Treasurer ,,.-,.,,,,,, .,,,,,,, A melia Roedel' Caduceus Correspondent ..,,,,,,,... Beulah Hasselkuss The object of the club is to stimulate interest in the progress of the business world. The club meetings are held every Tuesday during the seventh period. For each meeting a program is arranged by the club members. The programs consist of tests in stenography and typewriting, of reading shorthand plates, of interesting talks given by members of the club and of demonstrations of various machines used in the commercial work of the business world. The members become acquainted with actual business conditions now exist- ing in which the stenographer plays a part. Their viewpoints are broadened and they see the objectives beyond the mere routine of the classroom recitations. By conduct- ing the meetings in a businesslike man- ner, students become acquainted with par- liamentary procedure. A Stenographic Club letter is awarded to the members who earn eighty points. May the Stenographic Club live and prosper throughout the history of Beau- mont High School. L, rc Iundred Thirty-seven SPANISH CLUB iq ,oft-nyc ' H- m f -' '- raw Q ffwfwelv f -tw. 5 . 1' - Q ,:- .

Este simbolo tiene una historia muy interesante. El Dios Mercurio fue el hijo de jupiter y Maia. Presidio el comercio, la palestra, los ejercicios gimnasticos, y todo lo que re- quiera la habilidad y la destreza. Como mensajero de Jupiter llevo un gorro alado y zapatos alados. Llevo en la mano una vara, entrelazada con dos serpientes, que se llamaba el Caduceo. Se decia que Mercurio invento la lira. La lira tenia nueve cordones en llonra de las nueve musas. El Dios Mer- curio dio su lira a Apollo y recibio en cam- bio el Caduceo, que se decia tener el poder de cerrar los ojos en la muerte y de abrirlos en la vida futura. En su forma mas primitiva el Caduceo, se componia de tres ramos: uno formo el taller con los otros dos entrelazados. Era, tambien, una vara de heraldos, segun pare- cio en las obras primitivas de las artes, y One Hundred Forty se llevo por Iris tan bueno como los mensa- jeros terrenos. Despues, el lugar de los ramos se tomo por serpientes y en una forma mas tarde la vara se surte de alas. , El Dios Mercurio lo uso por conductor a la tierra baja. Esta vara magia ejercio in- Huencia sobre la vida y la muerte, dando las riquezas y la prosperidad, y transformando todo lo que toco en oro. En su forma mas vieja, era una vara, terminanda de dos puas, torcidas en un nudo por el eual dos ser- pientes, con las cabezas encontrandose a la cima se sustituyeron despues. El Dios Mercurio hallo dos serpientes rinendo y unidos de esta manera durante la lucha. La vara, coronada de serpientes convino el simbolo del convenio de reyertas. El par de alas que se usan a la cima de la vera es la senal de la velocidad cle Mer- eurio como mensajero. Cuando el Caduceo se lleva por embaja- dores y heraldos es un simbolo de paz. Se usa modernamente como un simbolo de comercio sobre el que Mercurio presidio. El nombre Beaumont debe significar mucho a los diseipulos de la Escuela Su- perior de Beaumont. El senor doctor W'il- liam Beaumont fue el hombre mas eminente de la Sociedad de Medicina de San Luis, Mo. El simbolo de esta sociedad es el Caduceo que tuvo el poder, como henios dicho anteriormente, de cerrar los ojos en la muerte y de abrirlos en la vida futura. LE CIRCLE FRANCAIS By ELIZABETH STELLWAGEN 3 Francais for what does it stand? For a better acquaintance with the -'bf' celebrated men and women of France, and with French life and customs, and for good times, playing games, char- ades, guessing riddles, telling bon mots, histoires, and many other delightful things. These are some of the activities of the French Club, and there are to be many others devised by the ingenuity of our Hcomite des programmes. All our meetings are very successful since we not only enjoy ourselves exceed- ingly, but also gain much in the valuable school of experience in the way of speak- ing, Writing, and understanding French. From our bonjour to our au revoirf' French is the recognized language of the club. IVE le Cfle Francgaisl lie Cercle K.

T H E C A D U C E U S TI-IE DANCING CLUB By SYLVIA KLEINSCHMIDT if OMETHING snappy, a real dan- cing club! At our first meeting on March the fifteenth, one hun- 'fd dred and thirty girls attended, some intending to become the second Pav- lowa and others, the second Mlle. Jose- phine. This first meeting was strictly business except for a few laughs. We elected the officers: Student Council Representative ,...,,,, .,,,,,, R uth Brummel President ,,..,,,,,,. .. ,,,,,, Florence Schuermann Secretary ,,,,,,. .. Mary Beresford Treasurer. ,.,,,,,, . .,,,, Theodora I-Ierbster Caduceus Correspondent ,...,,.,,,,, Sylvia Kleinschmidt After all of this excitement, the time was at an end. At the next meeting the fun began, or shall I say the fire-cracker Went off? We started our technique under the direction of Miss L. C. Amend. There is no reason for anyone not to learn to dance well with the director that We have. There are many very good dancers in this club. The group is composed, in the majority, of upper- term girls. And we must not forget our pianist, Ruth Bohle, who is really good. What could the dancers do Without good music? The dancing group for the operetta, HGypsy Rover, which is to be given in May, will be trained in our club. The public Will then have a chance to grasp some idea of the work this club is doing. Girls of Beaumont, do you realize what dancing does for you? It makes you grace- ful. It gives you poise. It makes you light on your feet. Dancing does many helpful things for you Which, perhaps, you cannot imagine. We are very lucky, and we should be very thankful to have a club of this type in our school. If it is impossible for you to join now, do it as soon as the opportunity comes your Way, and receive the excellent training the Dancing Club will give you. The Dancing Club has made a very line beginning. We hope that it will be a grand success, and there is no reason Why it should not be. With all of the advantages that we have, it should go over big. We wish to set a high standard for the club to follow in the future. One Hundred Forty-three ART APPRECIATION CLUB 'T 7' -i jjuf -, - 'rf E51 , A l l es may Q: ew , C,,r ?5.i,S 211e123fa'E-wi , H H T H E C A D U C E U S THE ART APPRECIATION CLUB By DORIS WEHMEIER HE Art Appreciation Club is not 5- only an entirely new organization 'flfaJ',33: ' ' ' ' ,J 'Qu in this school, but it 1S also one of ,Kr-bi , . . . a very few of its kind in the city. St. Louis offers a splendid opportunity to such an organization, for our Museum ranks fourth among American museums and is surpassed only by the Metropolitan in New York and the galleries of Boston and Chicago. Think of our great chance to study any phase of art at first hand! One thing of which our Museum is justly proud is that it contains so many fine pictures by American artists. It is said that we Americans do not know our own artists, and that not one person in a hun- dred could name a dozen distinguished American painters. Perhaps many of us at present are ignorant in this way, but we hope to remedy matters by our member- ship in the Art Appreciation Club. lf the members have never visited the Art Mu- seum before, they have much to look for- ward to: and if they have, the trips under the supervision of the Educational Director will greatly add to their understanding and enjoyment. On Wednesday, March 17, we made our first visit to the Museum as an organiza- tion of Beaumont High School. Upon reaching the Museum, we were introduced to Miss Powell, the Educational Director. She conducted us into one of the picture galleries and there gave us a little talk about our program of work for the term. She answered some of the questions that were in our minds as to what the organiza- tion could do for us. After her talk, Miss Powell asked if we should like to know something about any particular picture in the gallery. We im- mediately chose two and asked her to tell us about them. They were The French Revolution and A Second Marguerite. Perhaps some of you know these pictures. The former is the largest canvas in the Museum and pictures a scene in France during the Revolution. A French noble- man has been brought forth from the Bas- tile by the infuriated mob who intend to kill him. His daughter is shown trying to protect him by touching her lips to a cup of blood, the price demanded by the people in exchange for her father's life. Our at- tention was called to something that we had never noticed before. There seemed to be just one person in the picture who shows sympathy with the girl: all the others seem to have a mad enjoyment in the situation. We learned how an artist draws attraction to a central ngure of a group, and other things. equally interest- ing, which, I venture to say, we had never thought of before. Our second trip to the Museum was also very enjoyable. We made a general tour of the building, visiting. among other things, the Sculpture Room, the Classical Room, and the collections of Chinese and Japanese art objects. The time we spend on the way is not lost, as the walk through the park before highly en- reaching the Art Museum is joyed. We feel that we have a chance to study beauty outdoors as well as in. The club is planning to visit the Mu- seum seven times during the term, once every two weeks. On the days we meet at school, we intend to make good use of our time, The difficulties of organization have thus far made it practically impossible to do much in our meetings besides neces- One Hundred Forty-Hue 'ji C ' H mg U' N 2s4 w ,A W 2 .g g abewg I .J K ' . l l is at lil Q' 3 C'-if Q, iilylfillwis Nl If C D XJ T H E C A D U C E U S sary business. But we hope to be doing some regular work before long that will supplement our visits to the Museum. We shall, for instance, want to learn some- thing of the works of the great artists, such as da Vinci, Raphael, Michaelangelo, Rembrandt, Holbein, and Velasquez, and, of course, we cannot find these in our St. Louis Museum. Our sponsors are anxious to have each one of us keep a notebook, and they have promised us help and sug- gestions for them. We also cherish a hope ART HE cover design of this first issue of the Caduceus is the work of iaffffmi' Miss Helen Apgar.

By the method of elimination three of the designs were taken and completely worked up in ink: then of those three Miss Crowder's design was chosen. Page drawings for literature, poetry, and organizations were done by Helen Apgar, Alice Grundorf, and Irma Kenkel, respect- ively. Tail-pieces were designed by Zella Crowder, Helen Apgar, Homer Strus, Alice Grundorf, and Stanley Frederickson. TENNIS By DE WITT WILSON I Nvthe past, Ted Drews, Fred Jos- t1es, Bob Norton, and others have Won for the North Side very high f places in the tennis sphere, and the present North Siders, Beaumont's team, are putting every effort into keeping that high reputation for Beaumont. The tennis team is hoping to capture the champion- ship this spring. What is more-it already has met Roosevelt and has Won all four matches from that team, while we were playing as Yeatmanites last fall. The boys displayed great ability in these matches. They are encouraged by their victories, and all they need in order to gain more victories in the Interscholastic Tennis Tournament is real, earnest support on the side of the student body. They'll do their part. Will the school do its part? At the time of the writing of this article, the matches have not yet begun, but when they are played, every Beaumont student is expected to show his sportsmanship by attending them. Be loyal to the interests of Beaumont.

THE WRITERS' CLUB By PHILIP EBRENZ F gi OSSIBLY many oflyou willuask, gi, What do they do in the Writers' Club? The main purpose of our r ' ' club is to train members to write plays, poetry, stories and so forth. At the beginning of the term officers are elected and they in turn appoint a reviewing com- mittee who take charge of the manuscripts. Submission of manuscripts is not compul- sory. Members may submit whatever pleases them. The chairman of the review- ing committee presents the manuscripts to the club and the members comment upon them. The committee awards a numberof points towards attaining a club letter. This organization is conducted under the sponsorship of Miss Sprague who is of great assistance when we cannot rescue our heroes. At our second meeting, attended with much excitement, the following officers were elected: President .,,,,,,,,......,,.,, , ...,, Kenneth Gerdel Secretary ,.......,,,,,,,,,,..,....,,,..,,,, Erma Roth Student Council Repre- sentative ,,,,,, ...,,,,.,,,,,. Linnie Westfall Caduceus Correspondent ,,.... Philip Ebrenz The officers held a special meeting the following Friday and members of a re- viewing committee were appointed. Membership in the club is limited to a certain extent. First and second term stu- dents are admitted only upon recommenda- tion of their English teachers and submis- sion of a manuscript to be passed upon by the reviewing committee. All students are invited to visit the club in 223 on Thurs- day. One Hundred Forty-nine UB WRITERS' CL A J frf' flfgwiggr as ?'5'xRB l'k 'xx 51 cw C fc tdf5va.a, W.l14fcsr?'fwz XJ M T H E.

Early in November, 1925, these men called a meet- ing at the Harrison School, for the purpose of organizing an association of this char- acter. They decided to hold another meet- ing and invited the members of the Pa- trons' Associations of all the grade schools in the Beaumont District, and designated November 30, 1925, for this meeting. About 40 patrons representing seven dif- ferent schools responded. Temporary Offi- cers were elected as follows: President ,,,,,.,.,....,,,,,,,...,,, Wm.

The following men were placed on the Organization Committee: Mr. Sam Hartmann, Elliot School Mr. W. Blattner, Irving School Mr. P. C. Schober, Blair-Howard School Mr. Wm.

It was agreed to invite the St. Louis Med- ical Society, which was represented by Dr. Amand Ravold, and the North St. Louis Business Men's Association, which was represented by Mr. H. J. Marquard, A. S. Werremeyer, and W. E. Niederluecke, to take part in these exercises. On March 12, 1926, at 8 P. M. the dedicatory program took place, at which time all members of the Board of Educa- tion, and the Mayor, Victor J. Miller, helped to make this occasion a great suc- cess. Notwithstanding an all-day snow- fall, some 7,000 people passed through the building. We can truthfully say that March 12, 1926, will be a red letter day in the history of the Beaumont High School.

Our particular aim is to develop into a working body our promis- ing membership, so that next fall no time will be lost in search for the good material that is in the school. Means to be em- ployed are debates, programs, and a social function at the end of the term. Though this is an intellectual club, we know the value of the social hour. Welcome to our club. Join the Wite- nagemot. We hope to become a Great Council indeed. TENNIS INSTRUCTION CLUB By RUSSELLA ANDERSON HERE has come into existence this term along with the many other new clubs, a glrls' organization ' 'H which is one of the most popular activities in the school. It is under the supervision of Miss Harrison and already has about four hundred members. The or- ganization offers an opportunity to learn a very popular game, and the girls re- sponded in such large numbers, that it was necessary to divide them into three dif- ferent groups. At the meeting, Miss Harrison gives lec- tures about tennis because the group is too large to teach each one personally. It will be necessary, therefore, that the girls prac- tise among themselves outside of the club time in order to learn the game. since the meeting is devoted entirely to instruction and demonstrations. The scoring seems to be the most difficult part to understand but much amusement is shown over such terms as love and dence when applied to the score. This organization is to be a part of the Girls' Athletic Association, and fifty points will be given for attending one hundred per cent of the meetings and passing the test which Miss Harrison will give per- sonally to everyone at the end of the term. There is also to be organized a Tennis Club for the girls who already know how to play the game but who need more prac- tice and coaching in order to enter the tournament, which is to be held later in the spring. Additional points will be given to the winners of the tournament. The Tennis Club has not yet given any exhibitions, but I predict a wonderful future for an organization that has aroused so much enthusiasm the short time it has been in existence. One Hundred Fifty-three THE STUDENT COUNCIL I V L' KSN v I' J i 1413 i A ' T I-I E C A D U C E U S THE STUDENT COUNCIL By MARY I. WICKENHAUSER COUNCIL is always called for advice. This has been true ever since the Witenagemot, or Saxon Council. The Student Council, too, has this function, and it is the forum where vital school subjects are brought up and discussed. The Council is made up of one repre- sentative from every organization of the school. It is his duty to represent his club in all activities and to report to his co- members the activities of the Council. There are five committees functioning within the council. First, there is the Traffic Committee, whose duty it is to keep the students on the stairways moving smoothly during filing periods, and to regulate trafic in the lunch room. Second- ly, there is the Pep Committee, whose duty it is to arouse school spirit and keep it up. Thirdly, there is the Reception Committee, who is always ready to give the glad hand to the visitors. The Auditorium Com- mittee is responsible for the entertainment programs in Auditorium. Clf you know of talent that is good, let the chairman of this committee know.j There is also a Kick Committee, whose function it is to receive all complaints and suggestions for improvements needed about the school. This term the officers of the Council are: Chairman ,....,. . ,.,.... Mary I. Wickenhauser Vice-Chairman ....,,, . ,,,.. ..Thelma Weber Secretary ,.....,,,.,,, .. .Mary Beresford Chairman of Pep Committee. .. . ,,.. ,..... B urton Kelly Chairman of Auditorium Committee ....,...... .,.......,,. R uth Bohle Chairman of Traffic Committee... ..,.,...., Helen Tiefenbrunn Chairman of Reception Committee... . ,,...... Marie Quernheim Chairman of Kick Committee ,......,, ...,.... E rnst Spellmeyer The Chairman must be a senior and must have served on the Council before. The organization of clubs is dependent upon the Council. To form a club, a petition must be drawn up and signed by twenty prospective members. This list is submitted to the Council for approval. If the Council believes that the organization will prove worthy, it acquaints Mr. Fuller with its decision and authorizes the issuing of a charter. The Student Council was formed for the purpose of improving conditions in our school, and with its aid, we hope to see Beaumont flourish. The Council is a means by which all school activities are co- ordinated, and by which each club may voice its opinion in directing the affairs of the school.
