H M M THE CADUCEUS BEAUMONT MOTHERS' CLUB By RUTH MOHR f-ff.-7 years ago when Mr. Fuller was still at Yeatman, he spoke to the mothers of a senior E class about organizing a mothers' club. He felt that an opportunity for the mothers to study the problems of their sons and daughters was very necessary, and therefore, was very anxious that Yeatman High School should have such a club. He appointed a Mrs. Webster as chairman of the committee that was to draw up the by-laws of the new organization, and an- nounced in the school that a mothers' club was to be formed. As a result, on April 25, 1924, Hfty-six ladies attended the first meeting of the Yeatman High School Mothers' Club. A nominative committee had selected ladies as candidates for the different offices and the election was held. The following ladies were the first officers of the club: President, Mrs. Elizabeth S. Stellwagen, Vice-President, Mrs. Rose M. Webster, Secretary, Mrs. Geo. Guntly, Treasurer, Mrs. Linda D. Hehmann, Executive Officer, Mrs. J. A. Mowrey. These ladies became very active members, and work was begun in earnest. Then Beaumont opened, and on hearing that Mr. Fuller was to be transferred, the mothers moved with him to that school where Yeatman's Mothers' Club became Beaumont's. Many new ladies have joined since that first meeting and Beaumont High School Mothers' Club now boasts of more than three hundred members. In May, 1926, new officers were chosen. They were President, Mrs. R. M. Webster: Vice- President, Mrs. A. E. Weeke, Treasurer, Mrs. J. E. Barzen: Secretary, Mrs. Theo. H. Mohr: Executive Officer, Mrs. E. S. Stellwagen. All these officers take a great interest in their work, and when there is a new campaign or plan calling for extra work, there are, also, many volunteers. The purpose of the organization is to establish an acquaintance between the friends and faculty of the school, and by means of lectures, debates, papers, etc. to increase the educational work done at Beaumont. At every meeting some one speaks on various phases of child welfare and school problems, Splendid audiences have heard and profited by these lectures and many have spoken of the help derived from them. Following the business meeting the ladies have a social hour in the lunch room, and here the members are introduced to and become acquainted with the visitors and new ladies. As a cup of coffee goes a long way in breaking the ice. visitors are often impressed with the friendliness of Beaumont mothers. Everyone, whether she is a mother of a student at the school or not, is welcome at the' meetings. And, surely, it will not be a waste of time to listen to a lecture that will help one to rear one's children to be true citizens and worthy scholars of Beaumont High School. Seven I Egg vii?

Therefore, behold us, the third class to graduate from the school, the class of June, 1927. To prove to the student-body, for the class was already fully aware of it, that we were really full-fledged Seniors, we elected officers with all due pomp and ceremony. The Honorable Bill CWil- liamj Mueller was made president, with Marguerite Smith to help him at all times: Jack Halveland was again sent to the Student Council, where he was promptly made president of that respect- ed organization: Rex Uphouse, of great fame as Scaramel, was given the task of accounting for our moneysg Bernice Spil- ker, in recognition of last term's services, was made Hreader of the minutesul Grace Halveland, Dorothy Berkemeier, and Kenneth Gerdel, all honest, hard-working citizens, were constituted an executive committee, and Marjorie Klages was advised to write the story in legal form. Thereupon, having made our first bow to society, we hastened to continue our well-begun career. This was done at our Get-Together Party, where every one learned to call every other Senior by his middle name if necessary. Then came the really important event of our lives, Color and Flag Day, upon which we were formally presented to the school as the Senior Class. On this memorable occa- sion, after the class had paraded into the auditorium and were safely seated upon the stage, our president explained the special significance of our colors, silver and light rose, and our motto, Virtus, lus, et Ministeriumf' Then we sang our class song and gave our yell, but disagree- able weather prevented our raising our colors on the campus. The flag raising and tree planting were postponed till we could safely walk abroad. At this writing, we still have before us our first party with the New Seniors, who will try to convince us that they are entirely worthy to carry on the traditions now established for Beaumont. They will not have much difficulty in doing that, for they have already proved them- selves a class worthy of the name, and we congratulate them. and wish them all the success in the world. Now, too, we see Farewell Day loom- ing large before us. For years we have been looking forward to it as a day of days, but now as we realize that it is approaching entirely too quickly, we think otherwise. There are still so many things we want to do here. One of them- we shall never be able to do it adequately -is to thank Miss Quellmalz and Mr. Hall for the long hours of hard work they have so willingly spent in our behalf. Without the guiding hand of these faculty advisers, many of our class affairs would have gone sadly astray. We owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be paid. but none of us will ever forget them. So here's to our future, with all the enchantment of the unknown appealing and appalling, Some of us will plod on day by day: others of us will stride on with seven-league boots: but may we all go together with our motto, Virtus, Ius, et Ministeriumu held high before us. leading us, guiding us. Nine THE COLOR-DAY IVIASCOTS By D. ANN BERKEMEIER mf! the coming of Color-Day, The members of the senior class felt many problems confronted the great anxiety as they assembled for the Seniors. Among them were the occasion of Color-Day on April eighth. selection of the class motto, the decoration of the auditorium, the making of the banner and flag, the composition ot the song and yell, and, last but not least, the selection of the class mascots. Then the problem of whom to select, arose. After much work on the part of the com- mittee in charge, two very charming little girls were chosen. They were Virginia Marie Burns and Patsy Schroeder. The next problem was the preparation of their costumes. After much planning it was decided that they should represent roses, a quite appropriate flower for our class colors, light rose and silver. Ten They feared that the huge student body of Beaumont would frighten the mascots, as they preceded the class to the stage. Never- theless, everything went smoothly. The class in proper order followed the two lit- tle youngsters, who were thoroughly eager to carry out their part on this occasion. They led the class and were apparently enjoying their duties. They bore them- selves perfectly and wavered not the least bit. Their exit was made in much the same way and it was readily agreed that the mascots had truly aided in making our Color-Day a success. -- GLASS SONG-- JUN E ISZ7 Words bu3El1zabell1 Slellwagen lvlbLSlC bg mClVQWQlSCT Ulodevdlo gmwx-1H1U.a4JJ-rf-14, .f Dear Beallmonl fair To us To-clcuj 35 Our molto clean-will 'never die, JJJVJJJJUJ J 'lull llxj pl bl My ove Q, mls CL- oom in Q ,- Gourage, JllStlGC,QYld, service high, F5- we.:-IHHJ14JJr'3Lff1 Silver cmd vose come flullfrlng down: vis es now cl brlghl new dal, , ' JQJJIJ- H 3 J 'l l 4 .U -I l Briglfl jewels from Nalm-Es new spv-ing gown.

The music was taken from the Princeton Triangle Club presen- tation of the same name. As the Univer- sity was unable to supply the lines, Miss McLaughlin, assisted by Loyal Clark and George Davison, wrote a new libretto. The plot of the play is built around the drum which Sir Francis Drake, famous privateer and navigator, left to the people of Devon at the hour of his death. It was given into the keeping of Angus, keeper of an inn, called the Sign of the Drum. According to an ancient legend, Sir Francis Drake solemnly vowed that should the people of Devonshire beat on this drum in the time of peril, he would return from the dead to answer the call. Lord Ascot, an antiquarian, and his daughter, Dorinda, come to this inn. They are followed by Bobby Blue, an American insurance agent, who is in love with Dorinda. Lord Ascot strongly dis- approves of Bobby as a suitor for his daughter's hand, but, having his offers for the drum flatly refused by Angus, he jeeringly agrees to consent to Bobby's marriage with Dorinda, on condition that Bobby will prove his vaunted cleverness by obtaining the drum from Angus with Angus' full consent and without paying a cent for it. Carita, a mysterious Spanish girl, comes to the inn. An ancestor of hers was the sweetheart of Drake and in her family there is a vague legend concerning Drake's hidden treasure. She falls in love with Angus, the innkeeper, and tells him that she believes the great drum may hold some clue to the hiding place of the treasure. A group of ship-wrecked soldiers overhear Carita's story and determine to steal the drum, to discover the clue and Hnd Drake's treasure. They are interrupted in the theft by Dorinda and Bobby whom they over- power. The sailors smother Dorinda's screams and overpower Blue. In a frantic effort to raise an alarm, Dorinda stikes the drum. Her father, Angus, and Carita rush out of the inn. Suddenly there comes from the seashore the wierd chant- ing of an old pirate song. Drake and his ghostly pirate crew answering the -call enter the inn yard. Learning that he and his men have been called back without due cause, he determines to punish those by whom he feels he has been mocked. Drake carries them off to his phantom ship, The Pelican. The scene of the second act is the deck of Drake's phantom ship.

The Beaumont girls were most kindly and willingly sponsored by our splendid Beaumont Mothers' Club, who aided greatly in making this pageant a success. The first feature of the program was an exhibition of the various costumes worn from ancient times down to the present day. These costumes, modeled by Beau- mont and Central girls, were explained and commented upon by Miss Schaum- berg, Supervisor of Household Arts in the St. Louis public schools and a former teacher in Beaumont. Placards giving the period the costume represented were placed on the easel as each gown was displayed. Special music adapted to the period of each costume was played by a very capable pianist, Ruth Bohle. A The first costume presented was that of the ancient Grecian maiden. It was a long loose-flowing robe ornamented with gold stenciling. The vase which the Grecian girl carried, together with her unique coiffure, added to the attractiveness of her gown. In strong contrast with this sim- ple Grecian gown was the next costume, which represented the medieval, modeled by Georgetta Blettner. Glistening with jewels and made of costly silks, velvets. and furs, it was an example of extrava- gance and luxury, typical of medieval court life. Accompanying this lady was a gaily clad page, who carried her gorgeous train. Thirty-six The next costume, also very elaborate, represented those worn in the time of the Renaissance. The gown worn during the reign of Queen Elizabeth was modeled by Catherine Gores. It was of elegant red velvet with puffed sleeves and jewel- bedecked bodice set off by a lace ruff around the neck. A small Ethiopian accompanied this Elizabethan lady. Grace Halveland appeared in the Velasquez reproduction. Previous to this time the ladies had worn powdered wigs, but this beautiful lady had handsome black hair. Following, there was a costume repre- senting those of Louis XIV's reign. Majestic and stately, it imparted grace to its wearer. A page also appeared with this lady. The costume of Louis XV's reign, though not a great deal different, was, nevertheless, charming as exhibited by Inez Prindable. As a Colonial Lady, Nelda Petway reminded one of the days of the minuet, when smiling and demure ladies daintily curtsied to gallant young gentle- men. Here, too, were shown the powdered wig and full ruffled skirt. The next costume presented was the Directoire. The tall stove-pipe hat and high-waisted, straight-line gown of yel- low may seem quite humorous now, but were stylish then. A costume characteris- tic of those worn in 1830 was next shown. Then the Dixie costume of rose and black satin was exhibited by Melba Reineke. Accompanying her was a little girl, Eva, wearing a very full ruffled dress of lavender and old lace and pantalettes. These two Dixie costumes were set off by a tiny parasol which the young lady carried. The costume of 1870 introduced the bustle. It was of blue velvet and much lace, and quite stunning.

The gown itself was blue and had very full sleeves and a tight-fitting waist. Proceeding to more recent times, the costume of the World's Fair C1904-Q was exhibited by Virginia Rose. A very large hat decorated with artificial flowers completed her costume. The next cos- tume presented was that worn in l9l4- the hobble skirt. Most of us are familiar with this queer yet novel style. This was of pink satin and lace and quite pretty. The last gowns to be modeled were those of 1927. These delightful and becoming frocks illustrated the neat sim- plicity of the dresses worn today as con- trasted with the elaborate and voluminous dresses of long ago. The display of 1927 frocks, designed, made, and modeled by the girls in the Household Arts Depart- ment taking sewing, was the principal feature of the entertainment. These color- ful and attractive frocks called forth the delighted exclamations of the guests. Some of the girls wore hats which they had made. Even the first-term-sewing girls were represented in this parade. Several of them carried their garments. . After the guests had been entertained with this fashion parade, they were con- ducted to the Food and Clothing Rooms on the ground floor, Girls from all the classes acted as the hostesses at these rooms and explained the work to the eighth grade girls and their mothers. Some were hos- tesses for the suite-the little modern apartment next to the cooking room. These rooms the guests found very inter- esting and they expressed a desire to learn more of the work done here. In fact, the visiting girls were so pleased that the majority of them decided to take House- hold Arts when they begin high school. Great credit and praise is due Miss Evans and Miss Nicholson, who instructed the girls in their sewing and cooking work. But the success of this pageant is due to the splendid co-operation of the Mothers' Club, the faculty, and the students. In 1 , ' A' 01-al-xv if ,lil elk?-3 P i wr' H, xfllffm ' 5 9 'Q 1.

Then, of a Tuesday afternoon, the leash was loosed, barrier raised, etc. We got organized. Came the dawn, and a few hours later the next school day, and everybody said, thought, and knew: They're off! ' And we were off.

Everybody got tired, remained happy and all details pyramided dizzily up to make a breath-taking apex, a hot and glorious time. Other things on other days followed.

We have just started our collection but our equip- ment seems to be growing larger almost daily. In fact, the' chemistry rooms, which you know are located at the south- west corner of the first floor corridor, are so filled that a new store room was assigned for our use on the second floor. Here is a very interesting experiment we chemistry students like to do. Take a thin piece of paper and weigh it on the special chainomatic balance. This weighs even the smallest object in grams to the fourth decimal place. Then write your initials in pencil on it. Re-weigh, and the balance will give you accurately to the fourth decimal the amount of lead used. This experiment is called 'AWeighing your initials, and even if your name happens to be a very short one, the special chainomatic will give you the results. There is an electric furnace which can be heated to a high constant temperature and is especially adapted to the analysis of iron and steel. In our electric hot-air oven, a uniform temperature can be maintained to the accuracy of O.2'of a degree. The Keljdahl Nitrogen Digesting Appa- ratus is harder to spell than use. Grains and foods are analyzed by it to determine the richness of their nitrogen content. As the source of heat is six electric hot plates, six simultaneous determinations for nit- rogen content can be carried on. Lecture work becomes more interesting when the special moving-picture machine or the opaque projection apparatus are used. The special moving-picture machine is adapted to show work in the class room. It is very easily operated and as soon as a film exchange can be arranged for, various pictures will be shown. With the opaque projection machine, pictures and diagrams can be Hashed on the screen from a book. Also our department has a special electrolytic apparatus which decomposes compounds by means of an electric cur- rent. By the use of this, various com- pounds and their constituents can be studied. These are but a few of the many wonders of the chemistry laboratory. But this should be enough to tell you that if you are planning to take chemistry, you have a very interesting course before you. The Chemistry Club, sponsored by Mr. Bell, goes farther than ordinary class- room work into the use of various machines. Here is a real opportunity to do creative work of which every Beau- monter should avail himself.

The physics depart- ment was one of the most expensive aca- demic departments to equip. The cost of the apparatus alone was slightly over 53,500 Besides this, the tables for the students, the electrical installments and the text books amounted to approximately 352,000 The two laboratories are situated in the southeast corner of the building on the second floor. Because there are no build- ings for almost one block, this location gives a maximum amount of natural light, that is so necessary for working experi- ments. However, for some of the experi- ments concerning light itself, where sun- light must be excluded, the windows are fitted with opaque shades. In this way the students have every convenience avail- able for accurately working experiments, so that they have a decided advantage over their predecessors who were at Yeatman High School. Each laboratory has fifteen experiment tables, so that all together there is plenty of room for each of sixty students to work experiments at one time. Besides these, there is a lecture table for the teacher in each laboratory and one in the lecture room between. In charge of this large department are four well-trained instructors, namely, Mr. Hill, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Powell and Mr. Kirk. lt is no easy'task for them to watch over all this equipment since students are allowed to use instruments which cost up to 3325.00 each. Some of these expensive instruments are the galvonometers, ammeters, and volt- meters, which are used to detect and meas- ure electric currents, ln the second term of physics they are used in almost every experiment so that the teacher must keep a very close watch. Besides these instruments, there are other apparatus which are operated only by the teacher. Such things as X-ray tubes, pic- ture projection machines, and other deli- cate instruments are what cause the inven- tory of the physics department to amount to such a large figure as has been named. Then there is every variety of lenses and mirrors and also electro-magnets, motors, and raw materials, such as acids, battery- plates, and different kinds of wire. All of these things and others too numerous to mention are just for the laboratory used by the second term physics classes. Besides this, there is the labora- tory for the first term classes with its less expensive and less delicate apparatus, but even that amounts to a large figure. There are various kinds of pulleys, hydraulic lifts, a vacuum pump, and other mechan- ical apparatus. And yet, if a casual visitor were to see all this in orderly arrangement in the cases, he would be surprised that it represented such a large outlay of money. However, if he stopped to consider that some of the small instruments which take up only a few square inches of shelf space cost as much as 325.00 each that would not seem so improbable.

Steinmetz was one of the very greatest men who developed electricity through mathematics. His implements were alge- bra, geometry and trigonometry. . He had a very unusual brain, but his body was sadly crippled which made him stand only a little over four feet tall. His head was very large: and this, coupled with his small, crippled body made him a queer looking man. He was born in Breslau, Germany, on April 9, 1865. When he entered school, he had difficulty with his multiplication tables. After a few years persistent work on these tables, he became interested as well as brilliant in mathematics. In high school he was one of the quickest pupils in mathematics that the teacher had ever seen. In l882 he entered the University of Breslau and carried a newly established course in electrical engineering along with its regular fourth year course. He quickly Hnished this course and performed a few crude experiments of his own. In l888, Steinmetz was forced to Hee from Breslau University to the Zurich Polytechnical School in Zurich, Switzerland, because of his religious beliefs. Steinmetz came to America in 1889 and after quite a dispute as to his ability to earn a living, he was allowed entrance when a friend, with whom he came over, promised to support him until he secured a position. Forty-four Steinmetz immediately went to the Edison Company in Brooklyn but did not receive any work. He then decided to go to the Nlanufacturing Plant of Rudolf Eichemeyer in Yonkers, to whom he had received a letter of introduction from a friend in Germany. After an interview with Mr. Eichemeyer he was told to return a week later. When he returned, he began to work as a draftsman at twelve dollars per week. The General Electric Company, hear- ing of Steinmetz's patented inventions, which the Eichemeyer Company con- trolled, offered to accept the patents along with the services of the young engineer. While working with the Alternating Current, to which work he had been assigned by the General Electric Company, Steinmetz became disgusted with the elaborate and ineffective formulae which the advanced engineers used. He immedi- ately decided to find a more effective and simpler method. After many months of hard work he found the method by means of the complex or general number. ln 1893, he made his first announcement of his new method of cal- culating the Alternating Current at the International Electric Congress held in Chicago. The formulae which Stein- metz worked out are still taught and used in connection with the Alternating Current to this day. When the water power of Niagara Falls was being harnessed, Steinmetz was called upon to design an efficient type of gen- erator to compete with the type that the Westinghouse Company was supplying.

There he developed the arc lamp to the stage in which it now appears in downtown St. Louis. ln his arc lamp he used a carbon stick with a magnetite Ciron oxidej core as one elec- trode instead of two plain carbon sticks. He also developed a system of magnets to produce a constant arc between the elec- trodes. ln 1901, Steinmetz was elected head of the American Institute of Electrical Engi- neers. ln 1902, he received a Master of Arts degree from Harvard University, while in 1903 he received his Ph. D. degree from Union College in Schenectady, because he did not get this degree in Ger- many. ln his later work, Steinmetz showed wonderful ability in mathematics and could carry the table of logarithms in his head. Steinmetz died quite suddenly on October 26, 1923, but he will always be remembered for his wonderful work for the cause of humanity. A VISITOR By DAN ROSENBERG E was dressed in a rather large- patterned tweed suit, composed itbj of brown, black, and white, the main colors in a clever mixture. He arrived unexpectedly and unan- nounced at Beaumont High School, Natural Bridge Road and Vanderventer Avenue, Friday, March ll, during the noon auditorium session. He had large solemn brown eyes, was rather handsome, and 1 believe his name was either Bow- ser, 'ARover, or 'ASpot. At any rate, assisted by the hand of one of the stu- dents, he mounted the stage. He gave demonstrations: first, of a private in the army marching on his beat , then, of the soldier, exhausted by the arduous campaign of the day, when he throws himself on the mat in his tent to sleep. Every few moments he looked up at his audience from this sleeping posture,wink- 1-2 I 1 y Qi mr, ing solemnly. His whole performance was carried through in pantomime. The students generously applauded the visitor, who bowed, but did not retire, evidently hoping to assist Principal W. N. Fuller, whose daily duty is to address the session concerning those matters which are important to the students. Mr. Fuller thanked him kindly for his services, but assured him that he could help in no way. The visitor finally proved a little obsti- nate and refused to depart from the stage, where he walked back and forth and crouched down during the whole of the Principal's speech. Finally, the visitor went down from the stage and made the acquaintance of several students. He has not been heard of since, although the whole student body wish that he would return. It seems that he has sent several relatives to the school, but none of these wishes to address the students.

I could have, it is true, passed the time with a magazine, but alas, I had left my glasses at home. A sense of dizziness overcame me and my head seemed to be spinning around and around. Looking up, I con- fronted a blurred mass of humanity who seemed to stare at me more or less politely. I did not mind the stare much, although I felt a little uncomfortable at the thought. But one person who did arouse my anger and embarrassment was what seemed to be a smartly dressed woman standing by the door, whose piercing eyes would not leave me for one minute. My first action was to look away but I seemed to feel that steady gaze follow me. When I looked up, certainly the blurred mass of features was still turned toward me. A hot flush swept over my face. I wondered if there could be a runner in my new silk stockings. Though I was quite positive there was none, I dared not look down for fear of attracting the attention of persons who were innocent of any offense to me so far. Why, oh why, wouldn't Alice hurry? My nearsightedness had always been a handicap to me but I would sooner suffer permanent blindness than meet the glaring eyes of the well dressed person at the door. Certainly, I concluded Forty-eight ,H , -A , angrily, she must be ignorant to stand there and stare at me as if she had never seen a human being. I will not look at her again. For a while I stuck to my resolution but broke it when I thought Alice was approaching. The stare of the impolite person was still upon me and I dared not meet the unaverted gaze. If my face is dirty, I reasoned, why is she the only one who is looking at me so hard? Surely. a dirty face attracts the attention of more than one woman. My anger then gave place to embarrassment. I wondered if I resembled anybody she knew. My sister's circle of acquaintance is wide. Perhaps she is wondering if I could be my sister. Oh, that brainless Alicel Was she buying out the whole store? Whew, but my head achedl I came to the conclusion that I could sit still no longer. I must simply get up and address this person and if. she happened to be a stranger I would apolo- gize and then perhaps she would stop that awful stare, for a little while at least. With these thoughts in mind I arose and walked in the direction of the staring woman and began, HI beg your pardon butlu Immediately I heard peals of jeering laughter. I was taken by surprise and took a step nearer. Thistime a sheepish giggle burst forth from me. The impolite and staring person whom I had addressed was a harmless and unoffending dummy which guarded the entrance of the waiting room. , - A 9 in - a. -N fm- , ' '11 W rl 2 it f KEc3'7 r J I T H E. C A D U C E U S EUREKA, OR LIGHT ON A DARK SUBJECT By JOHN SCHNEIDER HE! morning sun cast its invigor- ating rays upon the Dalton cot- tage, and focused its lime-light L t' beams upon the veranda of that moderately sumptuous dwelling where a very unusual scene was being enacted. The young heir of the household was bidding a last farewell to his mother and to the two young ladies who played the role of elder sisters of the lad not yet a decade in this world. The leave-taking was not quite a heart-rending one on the part of the sisters although a tear of regretful mirth lingered upon the lash of her who had guarded his every move. The lad walking to the gate showed a stubborn spirit of bravado tinged with excitement. He was not bound for the broad highway of life, nor did he intend to suffer one disappointment. He was going to a place where there were no exas- perating elder sisters, no troublesome baby sisters, and no mothers who wash away dust accumulations from behind the ear and under the chin. No, he was not going to a boy's heaven: he was bound for a place where he ,would receive a glad- some welcome and plenty of attention. The new abode might not be as elegant. but there would surely be no lack of service of such a kind that is rendered only by those dark-skinned people of another clime. This particular couple chanced to be friends of the Daltons. Old Dan and 'Liza had tied their heartstrings to young Bob, and he in turn alternately switched from 'his mother's apron strings to those of 'Liza. His mother and tor- mentors were sorry to see him leave, but they hoped that he would enjoy his Of course, they never expected return before supper time at the Utopia. him to soonest, for 'Liza served very good din- ners. The worked refreshing morning air soon its charms, and Bob arrived in good spirits at his destination. 'Liza came wobbling to meet him, pouring out her welcome address in very eloquent though decidedly colloquial speech. Dan looked up from his eternal task of whit- tling twigs, and succeeded in getting a hearty word in edgewise every now and then. The day passed swiftly, and Bob had little time to think of his rash act of that morning. However, as he grew weary, he began to have an uneasy feeling that he had committed a terrible mistake and would have to pay a penalty. Just then 'Liza interrupted his thoughts with her expressed intention of getting a bucket of coal. Dan paid no attention, but Bob jumped up to help her. He managed to heave a few lumps into the bucket. He was still meditating as he stepped into the house. 'Liza broke the quiet once more by exclaiming, A'Why, chile, look at yore hands: they am black as kin be! Frightened, Bob turned as white as his hands were black. This was his penalty: to become a negro because he refused to associate with his white kin. Before he could unloose the floods of salt water that threatened to wash away the dust that marked his features, 'Liza had scrubbed the black to ruddy red. On first thought Bob considered that he had had a close call. However, as he snuggled under the covers, he rather fancied that he would like to be a negro, just for a while at least. Anyway, one wouldn't have to wash so often because the dirt wouldn't necessarily show. He paused in his thoughts to scratch his knee, leaving his face unguarded so that the sandman could send his left glove in a powerful upper- cut to Bob's brain: -consequently, Bob was counted out for at least nine sixty- minute intervals.

It was a wonderful show. Darkies performed, sang, and told jokes. Colored babies danced and crowed. Bob was delighted to the point of ecstasy. That afternoon found him walking into the Dalton dining room just as the family were eating supper. Surprise was covered by sighs of relief. Even a little brother is again popped the question. Father reached back into the morning of his life, and answered, A'Well, my son, as far as I know, the feat is accomplished by means of a piece of burnt cork. That was what Bob wanted.

He delivered a long. descriptive and boastful speech about a minstrel show welcome after a long enough period of absence. Bob's attitude was calm and sedate.

However, there was something important lacking. He was a general without an army. Straightway he resolved to gather some followers. When no one was looking, he softly shut the front gate and sauntered towards the dark portion of the town. He found that it was very easy to attract attention, and he soon had every pickaninny in the block enlisted in his cause. However, the resources of the district were scant, and he was obliged to visit tenement row, the most ancient of all dwellings housing the worst ragged angels at this end of Jacob's Ladder. When he left the neighborhood, a calm ensued, and one might have sus- pected that the angels had suddenly run up the Ladder again. The only audible sounds were the continual hissings of whispering voices. Nothing further pertaining to the mat- ter was seen or heard by the onlooking world until one very bright day when all members of the Dalton family except Bob were absent. At two o'clock in the after- noon the town bell tolled. Several minutes later the sound of excited voices could be heard advancing toward the Dalton barn. A quaintly dressed person came from within, and established himself upon a soap box in front of the door. He deliv- ered a long, descriptive, and boastful speech about a minstrel show to be held within: he named a price, and he invited the gaping spectators to share with him the pleasure of an afternoon's entertainment. Thirteen odd-looking coins found their way into a dirty 'iBull Durham sack. One by one the contributors filed into the barn, taking seats upon packing cases. boxes, and parts of antiquated furniture. Never before was such an audience assembled: twelve awestricken spirits and one bewildered soul-a mongrel pup. Romeo by name, which happened to have a severe attack of friendly enemies . For him was paid an intruder into the realm of money-a slug. It so chanced that a small white lump of fur on exhibit caught the ever watchful eye of Romeo, and one number was forever eliminated from the program. A quarrel ensued: the conse- quence was that the door was opened, and Romeo jumped from a boottop where he had been perched for but a short time, and leaped into space. The audience settled comfortably into their luxurious plush- bottomed seats, and prepared for a wonder- ful entertainment. The curtain that with- held its secrets from the audience was a much-used sheet that was swished back in hectic jerks by at least six sturdy stage hands. A wonderful company of negroes robed in discarded embellishments of bet- ter days greeted the cheering stands with a vacant stare. Our hero was clothed in an oversize dress suit easily recognizable by a certain person's sire, Bob's face was of a pitchy hue, the whites of his eyes glowing hideously at the onlookers. The rest of the troupe were dressed in similar fashion but not nearly so elaborately. The first number on the program was a dance by a natural born negro. The dance was believed to have been originated in a smokehouse by a colored mammy who had just been bitten by one of the sizzling hams. The applause was thun- derous. Several songs were then sung in at least two voices, the second being just about a half tone lower than the first. The music was furnished by a negro boiler-musician and an Irish manipulator of a Jew's harp. The next act centered around Bob's blackened little baby sister. She was dressed as the Queen of Sheba, but she took the role of Galli Curci. Finally came the featuring act. Bob stepped forward sedately and commenced to juggle eggs. He could easily manage to keep two eggs in the air, but a third speci- men simply would not be controlled, and finally posed as a shredded-wheat omelet Fifty-one U FSE v 1' J i k i i A it 2 U l - M gf fr fn- .W Stal Q? ,sf 'Z s. ll l THE CADUCEUS in Bob's golden locks. Not to seem dis- couraged, Bob threw up a half dozen intact breakfasts, and proceeded to catch them in his father's Sunday bonnet. Just at that moment the barn door opened, and an unwelcome and unexpected guest appeared. One of the players recog- nized the face of the individual in spite of a distortion of the features, and, turning white under his makeup, placed the hat full of yolks directly on his own head. U fm that moment, the minstrel show was .mcludedg the audience and the players iethought themselves of pressing engage- ments, leaving Bob to face the pleasant meeting with his father. For the sake of the fainthearted, it is best to hurry past the next act. Suffice it to say that Bob never tried to stage a second performance of such a dark nature.

Yes, she was a tor' boy, Her mother ao mitted it, her grand- mother preached it, and the neighbors be- wailed it, So there is no use in denyinsi it-Janet was a tom- boy in every sense of the word, Therefore, it is not without rea- son that Mr. King's daughter was known a s The Prince among her playmates in Chicago. As Janet sat beside her uncle in the fliv- ver on the way to the ranch, she was con- scious of a feeling of disappointment. She the blue overalls and came toward him shyly. Are you Uncle Jesse? she asked rather timidly. You bet I am! boomed a great voice, and you're my brother Bob's girl. He took her suitcases over to a battered Ford, and after placing them on the back seat, he crawled in under the wheel. The girl clambered up beside him and with a pop and a bang they were off. Janet King, aged fourteen, had arrived from Chicago to spend her vacation on the Double Star' Ranch, owned by her uncle, Jesse King. She had just graduated from grammar school and the trip was a present from her uncle. She brought with her a had expected her uncle to have on big topped boots, a sombrero, chaps, and all the outfit of a regular cowboy. Instead of that, she thought vexedly, he looks exactly like an Illinois farmer! Well, my dear, said Mr. King as they bumped along over' the rocky road, how do you like the scenery by this time? .Janet looked up. 'lOh, she exclaimed, I'm terribly disappointed in it, Uncle Jesse. I thought you would be a regular cowboy, and instead you look just like the farmers around Chicago! I-Ier uncle laughed. So you think I'm the real scenery around here, do you?

UNO, I don't,,' she declared, 'ibut you ought to be. Jesse King thought fast. Here's a good chance to give the boys some fun, he said to himself. Shall I, or shall I not-yes I will, by George! Aloud he said to Janet, 'iIt's like this, little girl. Your Aunt Jennie thought that a regular cowboy would frighten a city girl. As she is the boss, she made me dress in over- alls today in order to make you feel at home when you arrived. 'Comprende?' Janet clapped her hands gleefully. I know what you said! she exclaimed triumphantly. You asked me if I under- stood you. Her uncle looked surprised. I didn't suppose that you understood Spanish, he said. Just a few words that Harold Bell Wright and Zane Grey use in their books quite often. Just then the car hit a particularly deep hole, sending the occupants of the car bouncing in the air. As soon as she could get her breath, Janet remarked laughingly, i'You certainly hit that one hard, Uncle Jesse. Why, yes I did, he admitted, 'ibut it was because the flivver was going too fast. Really? asked Janet. I thought we were going rather slow. Oh no, was the reply, we are mak- ing nfty miles an hour-twenty going forward, and thirty up and down! Oh-o-o. Janet started to grin, but her uncle was frowning thoughtfully at the road ahead. Hum-m-m-he must mean it, she decided. What do you expect ranch life to be like, Janet? asked Mr. King after a few minutes. HOh, I expect it to be awfully exciting and just lots of fun, replied his niece. I'm afraid you will be disappointed, my dear, because there isn't any excite- ment going on around here. The only thing near it is a little uneasiness over a Fifzy-four band of rustlers that have been stealing a few cattle now and then. 'AWhat are 'rustlers,' Uncle Jesse? asked Janet. When a few men, usually five or six, get together and change the brands on our cattle to that of their own, we call them rustlers. In other words, they are thieves who are stealing our cattle. 'iOh, I know! exclaimed Janet. I saw a movie just last week with rustlers in it. I didn't know what the name meant, but I knew what the men did. Mr. King asked her to tell him about the movie, and after finishing that, she told him about her mental pictures of ranch life-cowboys, bandits, and all. She was still talking about them when they reached the Double Star' Ranch. As they drove up to the house, two young boys came scrambling out, each trying to be the first to reach his father. They failed to notice Janet, each one yelling and talk- ing excitedly: Jed Harms was held up while you were gone, Dad! A'It was just around the prairie bend! He lost nearly a thousand dollars! Bob, said Mr. King. you and Jack haven't greeted your cousin Janet who has come all the way from Chicago to see you. The boys turned to Janet at once, and without any introduction whatever they started to tell her about the bandits. Mr. King shook his head in mock despair and left them alone. After giving her all the details of the holdup, the cousins moved away enough to let their mother welcome the visitor: then they all trooped in to the supper table. The family seemed to be deeply con- cerned about the robbery. Jed can't afford to lose that money, Jennie, said Mr. King to his wife. No, he can't, was the reply, but what worries me the most is the fact that we are all in danger of being robbed. Janet was quite excited at the prospect of taking part in a real holdup, and told U at '2tg':,m.s 2,5-Xzsfrast ,I 1- on W.. v frmzahwz-,f f'.1-iicawfh THE CADUCEUS the family that she hoped there would be one, much to the amusement of Jack and Bob. Later in the evening when the boys were bidding their visitor' good night, they teased her about the bandits. Don't be frightened if they carry you off tonight, called Bob. You will dream about guns and rolls of money tonight, teased Jack. A real bandit would be interesting to language by most of them. a fact which filled her with delight although she could understand very little of it. That afternoon Mr. King proposed that Janet accompany him on a trip to town. 'AI have to deposit some money in the bank at Pronto, he said. I meant to do it when I went in to meet you, but the bank was closed by the time I got into town. You didn't see very much of the meet, insisted Janet as she left the room. A chorus of laughter fol- lowed her. After the young city girl had retired, Mr. King went out to the bunk house and took the ranch hands into h i s confidence. They planned together for some time, and when Mr. King left them a definite pro- gram had been agreed upon. Remember that she must not suspect that we are parading in borrowed plumagef' he said in part- ing, and now to tell Jennie and the boys. The next morning Mr. Q RG 9,15 . - ll mari.

Jesse, interposed his wife, I agree with you that the money is safer in the bank than it is here: but are you sure that it is safe to take Janet with you? A'We-l-l, I hardly think there is any danger-still, perhaps I had better go alone- UOh, no! interrupted Janet in alarm, I want to go with you, Uncle Jesse, and I hope we do see some bandits! King appeared wearing the chaps, the boots, the sombrero, and in fact, a whole outfit that would make a movie cow puncher turn green with envy. Janet was wild with delight and failed to notice the giggles of her cousins, and the amused look on her aunt's face. 'AA real cow boyI she ejaculated. Now you are the scenery, Uncle Jesse, and she laughingly explained the joke to the others. After breakfast Mr. King took Janet out to meet the Hcowboysf' as he explained it. Of course Jack and Bob trailed along, giggling and grinning. Such a wonderful picture those men made! Every one of them a cowboy that would touch the heart of a hero-worshiper! Janet shook hands with every one of them. She was greeted in the Spanish She overruled the objections of her aunt, and when Mr. King came out with his guns and his roll of money, Janet was right on hand. They clambered into the flivver, waved to the family-Janet proudly calling adios -and started the trip to Pronto. All went well for an hour or so and Janet began to fear that after all no bandits would appear. Why didn't you tell some outlaws that we were going to go along here today? she asked her uncle. Mr. King was busy guiding the car over bumps, rocks, and holes in a narrow part of the road and didn't reply at once. The danger isn't over yet, Donna Janet, he told her. Do you see that bend in the road ahead? We call it 'prairie bend.'

Uls that where Jed Harms was held up? she asked, Yes, was the reply, but they would hardly be bold enough to try it again at the same spot. At this Janet leaned a little closer to her uncle. I-I guess they wouldn't either, she comforted herself. Nevertheless, she clutched his arm as they rounded the bend. Now don't worry, he said soothing- ly. HI feel sure - hello! - what -- by George---this means trouble! i few feet ahead lay a big boulder com- pi rely blocking the way. Mr. King brought the car to a stop a few feet away fiorr it. ALrouch down quick, Janet! he com- manded, so the bullets won't hit you! With that he jumped from the Ford and Hred at a head which rose over the boulder. ln all of Janet's movies, she had never seen an incident as thrilling as the one which followed. Terrified and almost hypnotized, Janet watched with her heart in her mouth as her uncle rose to his full six feet four, answering the volley of shots that came from behind the boulder. Her nostrils tingled from the acrid smoke of the powder, and between shots her ears were assailed by the sounds of groans and curses which told her that her uncle's aim had been true. Fascinated, she stared at him standing there with a gun in each hand, pulling the triggers again and again and again. Each moment she expected to see him fall. Suddenly with a hair-raising war whoop, he rushed around one side of the boulder, and as Janet thought, into the very jaws of death. For a while the firing continued fast and furious: then looking down the road Janet saw figures on the run making for the bend, the shots from Mr. King's guns accelerating their speed. Occasionally one turned for a part- ing shot but when the victor's guns spoke Fifty-six again, the bandits seemed to know their master's voice and obeyed it. In apfew moments the last bandit disappeared around the bend, and Janet, relieved but limp, picked herself up from her cramped position and awaited her uncle's return. For a moment he stood outside the car as he put his guns in his belt and sent a keen glance down the road. Well, that's one more job done, he remarked as calmly as if shooting scrapes with bandits were everyday occurrences. And now here's another one. Guess l'll turn Powerful Katrina for a minute and get this boulder out of the way. After a great deal of labor he succeeded in moving the stone enough to let him get the Ford around it on one side. As he climbed into the car, he noticed that Janet's face was still white. 'lWhy, you weren't frightened, were you, Janet? he asked. At-at first, she admitted, but not very long. Uncle Jesse, you are the most wonderful hero that ever lived! 'lTut, tut, it wasn't anything! de- clared her uncle. You don't know how easy it was, Janet. Well, easy or no easy, a Chicago man would have been scared to death. I shall write to Dad this very night and tell him what a wonderful hero his brother is! How I wish everybody lived on a ranch. repeating praises of her Janet kept uncle's bravery and comparing him to the cowardly city town without men. They reached the any further mishap, and after Mr. King had completed his business at the bank they began the return trip. This time no bandits appeared, although Janet clung to her uncle's arm as they went around the boulder. They reached home safely, and Janet ran to the house to tell about the adventure. By the time Mr. King arrived, the whole family had heard about it, and Janet was out telling the cowboys The cousins s w a r m e d around their father, nearly overwhelming him with questions: b JK 53154 QV Qi- if vaicvfij Q 1 -L.

Mr. King shook them off with a warn- ing glance toward the lot where Janet was talking to the boys. Wait until she goes to bed tonight, he said to them, Hand I'll tell you all about it. Supper that night was a brilliant affair with Janet doing most of the talking. As soon as the meal was finished, Janet bade the rest of the family good night. HI am going to write to Dad and Mother, she said in apology for the early hour, and then I'm going right to bed. I'rn awfully tired tonight. A'I'm not surprised, said Jack with a grin. UYou will dream about your bandits! called Bob cheerfully. Janet wondered why they were so amused at the affair. They didn't seem to be surprised at all when I told them about it this afternoon, she thought. However, she soon forgot about it, for she had become absorbed in the thrilling account she was writing her parents of her own narrow escape and of her uncle's bravery. At last the letter was finished. Janet got it ready to mail and put it on the table. Then she remembered that her uncle had said that he was going into town the next morning. I'll take it down to him now, she said to herself then he will be sure to take it with him in the morning. She took the letter and started down stairs. Just as she reached the last step she heard laughter from the living room. She paused for an instant. Out floated these words unmistakably in her uncle's voice: It was just killing. She called me a hero and simply raved over the way I handled those guns! What if she had known you were shooting blanks? laughed Jack. I bet the ranch hands are roaring over it tonight, said Bob. Janet stood confounded for an instant: then as she grasped the meaning of the conversation she turned and ran back to her room. Throwing herself on the bed, she sobbed in anger and mortification. i'It's a sham, the whole ranch! 'f she thought in fury. Oh, whatever shall'I do now? The cousins will giggle and- grin forever, and the cowboys-oh, I mean the old ranch hands-all know what a little fool I've been! Finally she grew calmer and considered the situation more fairly. If her tomboy days had done nothing else for her, they had taught fher to be a good sport. Therefore, Janet kna v quite well that she wasn't going to sulk about it. It really was a dandy prank, she admitted to herself, and I will sh 'v Uncle Jesse and the boys that I can t. .e a joke just as well as anyone, yes I wild. - Then she thought about how terribly severe this joke was, and her judg-nent wavered. I ought to go back home,1' she fumed to herself. And so it went for some time- I will, HI won't, Yes, I will,'7 UNO, I wcn't, until she was almost exhausted. Finally her love of good sportsmanship triumphed over her hurt pride, and she decided to carry it through in a manner that would justify her nick-1 name, Prince . She went down stairs the next morning with a determined look on her face. The rest of the family were already at the breakfast table when she came into the room, and she faced them with a smile. 'iYou have enjoyed the prank you played on me immensely, haven't you. Uncle Jesse? she asked. Mr. King looked startledg then as he saw the quiet smile on Janet's face he realized that she knew about the joke. 4'Ycu enjoyed it as much as I did. didn't you? he asked her with a smile. UI think it was a capital joke. agreed Janet, without showing a sign of the anger she had felt when she discovered the prank the night before, which still caused her to want to tell the whole family just what she thought of them.

Mr. King regarded his niece proudly. I knew that you were a good sport, Janet, he said, Hand if you want my private opinion, it was a poor joke to play on a little girl: but you are a regular good fellow. I imagine that the boys and myself are in danger of a good many prac- tical jokes this summer. A person who is good at taking them is usually good at trying them on other people. Janet carried out her brave resolution and kept her temper when the bandits were mentioned, although Jack and Bob te ed unmercifully, and the 'Acowboys tured an occasional remark. She ful- .ed her unc1e's expectations, however, and as a result he and the boys were the victims of a practical joke which made things quite even-but that's another story! Janet became interested in the branding of cattle, learning all about the rustlers, and how they changed the brands on cat- tle in order to steal them. She spent many hours experimenting with sketches of dif- ferent brands in an effort to change them into other ones, and found the occupation as fascinating as a cross word puzzle. The band of rustlers in the country was mak- ing the ranchers decidedly uneasy because of the fact that the thieves, who had time, were was losing brand was worked cautiously for some becoming bolder. Mr. King cattle and believed that his being changed to that of the Triple Star Ranch. Janet was quite interested in the matter and offered.many suggestions in the business of catching the rustlers. One day Mr. King strode into the living room, his usually good-natured face blaz- ing with rage. This has gone far enough! he cried. Shorty reports that fifty head of yearlings are missing on the north prairie! I'm going down to watch that herd for a few days and find out who these coyotes are that are stealing my cattle! Fiftyfeight Now, Jesse, said his wife so ngly, don't get so worked up over this, u've lost more than fifty cattle before d it didn't excite you so much. . I know, was the reply, but Jed lost twenty-five last night and he c,an't afford it. I've got to help him. 'iOh, of course, Jesse, his wife agreed quickly, if that is the case, then you must do your best. Jed isn't well enough to go, and he is in danger of losing his ranch if he has any more trouble. By the way. she added, you lent him the money he asked for yesterday, didn't you? Yes, Jennie, I haven't forgotten how he helped me when I was hurt in the stampede: and now, where are those sons' of mine? 'Q 'lr They are out teaching Janet to ride a bronco, Jesse. Really, that girl is a won- der. She can already do some things better than the boys. Ahem, said Mr. King, just look at that girl's uncle, and he expanded his chest proudly. His better-half regarded him with disfavor. Hump! she said. When Janet heard about the proposed trip to the north prairie, she was alarmed. Won't you be in danger, Uncle Jesse? she asked. Her uncle smiled grimly. At a time like this, my dear, we don't think of danger. The next few days were anxious ones at the Double Star Ranch. They passed slowly, the family just sitting down to supper on the third one after Mr. King's departure when a horse and rider dashed up to the ranch house. It was Dan, the son of Jed Harms. 'AI cum ahead ter tell yew, Miz. King, he gasped as he tumbled from the saddle, 'cause I knowed yew'd want ter know.

She remembered the fake ban- dits. HI suppose this is another prank that is intended to give me a ithrill,' she thought resentfully. A'Well, I won't be so easy this time.

Oh, yes, Janet scoffed to herself, 'Ahe's a hero just the same as he was in the holdup. Dan can't fool me. Uncle Jesse will Hnd that I'm a little smarter than I was when I first arrived at the ranch. Consequently, when Mr. King and his ranch hands came into view, riding in two ranks with four men bound on horses riding between them, Janet retired to a seat on the porch and indifferently watched their approach. However, the rest of the family failed to notice her, and all of them rushed out to meet the horsemen. Janet watched as the ranch hands talked to Mrs. King and the two boys. It was quite evi- dent that they were talking in praise of Mr. King, because he tried to stop them several times, and often interrupted them with protests that were loud enough to reach Janet's ears. In the meanwhile, that young lady began to grow impatient. 'iUncle can't play the joke unless I'm there to be properly impressed, she thought fretfully, and I don't see why he doesn't ask for me. Anyway, I want to hear what happened! Mr. King continued to sit on his horse, and talk to his wife and boys, entirely unaware of the displeasure of his niece. HAfter we got them covered, he said, Uwe had no more trouble at all. Dan got a rope and tied the men while the rest of us kept a gun on them. He smiled at the embarrassed boy who was standing near his horse. Dan showed a great deal of courage, continued Mr. King, because these men were nearly crazy with rage, and might have thrown caution to the winds in a last desperate effort to escape. Dan could hardly have missed injury, but he didn't show a sign of fear as he braved the wrathful glances of the men, whose last chance for liberty was being taken from them! Aw-w, Mistur King, interrupted the flustered Dan, it wasn't nothin'.. I knowed yew'd do it if I was afeered ' an' jist think o' pap. He 'spects me t' a hee-row just as yew be, sum day. It was Mr. King's turn to be embar- rassed. 'AThat is the second time this sum- mer that I've been called a hero, he said in some confusion, Then missing his niece, he asked quickly, 4'Where is Janet? Mrs. King glanced around in surprise. 'AWhy, I'm sure I don't know, she said. 'She was out on the porch with the rest of us when Dan arrived. There she is on the porch, now, Dad, said Bob. Come out here and see Janet, called Mr. King. Janet came rather slowly, and glanced at the bound men with They aren't real rustlersf' uncle, with her chin firmly nose pointing toward the sky.

Well, I assure you that these are real rust- lers. Do they look gentle enough to be ranch hands? Janet surveyed the men rather doubt- fully.

Accordingly, Het heard a thrilling and a dramatic .ount of the capture of the rustlers. She heard that her uncle had gone alone to the camp, stealing through the dense woods until he was close enough to watch the en at their work-changing the brands an some of his own heifers: she heard that in his fury. he had shot into the camp, a signal which brought the ranch hands racing toward the scene, and caused the rustlers to shoot out into the darkness: she heard that her uncle held them at bay until help arrived: that the lowing of the frightened cattle, together with the shots, drowned the noise made by the approach- ing horsemen: and that the rustlers were surrounded before they realized that the game was up, And yer uncle, he warn't scart a bitf' Dan said admiringly, but l ain't got his nerve a'tall.

Mrs. King, who sat beside her, was also silent. Per- haps she was breathing a prayer of thanks- giving for her husband's safety. After a few minutes had passed, Janet leaned forward and touched Dan on the shoulder. 'AThen l've been wrong all the time, haven't l, Dan? she asked earnestly. The cowboys who wear overalls are just as brave, just as noble, and, when you understand them, just as picturesque as the cowboys of the early West. Dan looked puzzled. A'Why-I-l guess 'tis, Janet, he murmured. But Mrs. King understood, and smiled as she drew the girl to her side. 'AJanet has learned the biggest truth that the West has to offer, she said.

His highest ambition was to invent an instrument which might be played either softly or loud. He published the first drawing of his invention in 1763, although he had completed the invention sometime before that date. If an Aesop had undertaken the task of relating the manner in which the piano was invented, he might have told the tale in the following way: rl I am the gardener of the king, Oh a happy man am I, During working hours I always sing. It is, it is a happy fate to be, To be in the service of the king. Thus sang Christofori as he knelt over a cluster of flowers in the garden of the king. He was singing a roundelay which he himself had composed. Although rhyme and rhythm were everything but perfect, this simple song exactly expressed his thoughts. For many years Christofori had been gardener for king Leponti, of Italy. He delighted in his work among the flowers and now, as his practiced eye wandered over a bed of lilies in search of the usual flower invaders, he sang his song in a rich, tenor voice. Finally he straightened, yawned, and then took a small sun dial from his pocket and noted the hour. Finished early today, he exclaimed: Honly the third hour. He then threw himself down on the soft grass and watched the clouds passing over him. Bees buzzed, birds chirped, and the soft ripple-like breeze played about him. A pleasant mingling of the scents of all the flowers was wafted to his nostrils, and he could faintly hear the soft cooing of the doves. Christofori was soon asleep. Suddenly he awoke, there was a hand on his shoulder, and a deep, voice boomed out orders for him to see the king at once. Christofori slowly arose, brushed the dust from his clothes, 1'1d walked down a broad gravel path that to the consulting room of the king. Leponti's usually smiling face was dark and clouded. His shaggy brows were drawn together and his dark eyes were flashing about the room. Christofori wp amazed. Never before had he seen' king in such a mood. Leponti was silt for a few moments and then exclaimed somewhat heatedly, I have concluded that it was you vs killed my pet dove. But your majesty, protested Christo- fori, HI would not think of harming one of your royal doves any more than I would think of harming you, yourself. 'iSilenceY shouted the king. You shall go to the Hall of Redemption. The Hall of Redemption was an immense hall carved and decorated in the nnest Italian style. On one end there was a huge room fitted up to be a library. In it were kept all the books for reference, besides anything an author might need in order to produce a masterpiece. To the left was another room which was a con- servatory. In here were kept the best spinets and harpsichords money could buy. The hall was a laboratory for those Sixty-one I 1 1 l' qp 1 cis x jK5.S96C'gi75w?5S wtixdfssvifif u ' ef- . -..9,.l.,-gre .I jf, g- ,linker f. i l l tt er HEI THE CADUCEUS who had a mind bent toward inventions. A person accused of any crime was imprisoned in these three rooms and was informed of the way in which he might redeem himself. If he could within one year produce something along the lines of music or literature, or an invention which would help the world take a step toward progress, he would not only be pardoned, but would be given a pension by the king. On the other hand, if the person failed to produce a masterpiece, he was immediately beheaded. After Christofori entered the hall his heart sank. He was nothing but a poor labf rer and could not even dream of pro- ducing a masterpiece. First he tried to w' ce a book on the care of flowers, but soon gave up. Next he tried music, but gave that up also. His brain seemed benumbed and his hands would not exe- cute his will. One day Christofori sat down in deep despair and watched a fellow worker try to compose the music to a ballad which he had written. This man wished to express in music the sweet calm of a summer night in Italy, but to no avail. The keys of the c 1msy harpsichord produced a loud, harsh sound and there were no means by which he could make it soft and mellow. The fruitless efforts of this man gave Christofori an idea. He rushed into the hall, selected a few tools, and began to work feverishly. His brain became clear and his hands worked swiftly and deftly. First he made a harp similar to that in a spinet. For every string of the harp he made a felt-covered hammer and by a Sixty-Iwo system of levers connected them with the keyboard. He next made a device which would make the sound produced by hit- ting the keys either piano or forte Csoft or loudj. In a few days he had his invention worked up to such perfection that he was able to let his companion use it to compose the music to his ballad. When Christofori showed his work to Leponti, the king praised it highly. Never before had any one produced a spinet which could be played either softly or loud. What shall you call this inven- tion? inquired the king. I shall call it pianofortef' replied Christofori. Good, cried the king. He then seized Christofori and waltzed him down the hall. Christofori awoke. It was dark and the sky was inky black, dotted here and there by ever twinkling stars. The air was damp and cool. lt slowly dawned upon Christofori that he had been dreaming. When he came fully to his senses, he realized that even the Hall of Redemption was not in existence. The next day he told Leponti of his dream. The king approved of the idea and promised to give Christofori the material which he might need in reproduc- ing the invention of his dream. Before many months had passed, Chris- tofori had in reality completed his work and called it the pianoforte. Thus the piano was born into the world. i F5510 , aw X 2,5-.hwafpiqima . fu..

El lil if lg THE CADUCEUS ROGER THE SENIOR PAPERS By ENGLISH 4 CLASS IN 402 3RD HOUR FZ: HE first of our student body is a E5 young man of Beaumont, of foot- ball fame, a senior, whom we K shall call Roger the Senior. His a member of the Beaumont Patrons' Association, is a well known business man of North St. Louis, noted for introducing the annual Easter egg hunt in Fairgrounds Park. All who know this school are very well acquainted with the parts and merits of Roger. He is an athlete who is very singular in his behavior, but his singularities proceed from his good sense and are contradictions to the customs of the school only as he thinks the school is in the wrong. How- ever, this creates him no enemies, as he does nothing with snobbishness or dis- agreeableness, and his being unconfined to fashion and forms makes him but the readier and more capable to please and oblige all who know him. Between two and seven a. m. he may always be found at his home on Palm Street. It is said he keeps himself well aloof from the girls by reason of the fact that he was crossed in love by a beautiful New Senior who had been accustomed to do his math for him. Before this disap- pointment Roger was somewhat of a sheik and was often seen dining at the City Club and Chase Hotel with his girl. He won a track letter when a New Junior, and kicked a boy in the Yeatman lunch room for calling him a New Jay. Being ill used by the above-mentioned New Senior, he became very serious for the rest of the term, but his temper being naturally jovial, he got over his seriousness at last. He grew careless of himself for a while, wearing mostly sweaters and football sweat shirts. He is now eighteen years of age, cheerful, gay. and hearty, and is a great lover of his fellow students. He keeps a flivver Henry which he gladly shares with his friends. There is such a In 1 ,gp father, mirthful cast to his behavior that he is rather beloved than esteemed. His adviser seems satisfied with his grades, and all the girls admire him, which he does not mind a bit. He calls the custodians by their first name and often stops and talks to them in the corridor. He is a member of the student council, and a few weeks ago gained much applause by explaining how to get out of an English final to a group of New Jays. The next in esteem in our school is a senior of E B fame, an officer of the debating club, and a boy of many tale ts. At the beginning of his high school career his course was chosen for him by his male parent, a contractor, who desired his son to be of use in his own business. He was placed in Beaumont to take mechanical drawing, but, by the connivance of his mother, changed his course to art where his interest really lay. The father is con- tinually giving his son plans to draw in the mechanical drawing class, which plans a fellow student has agreed to draw, for lump sum. Often he is sketching his teacher and fellow sufferers when he should be taking important history notes. His taste for the theater is a little too just for this age of movies, and his study of ancient art makes him an intelligent critic, He is a great help in the dramatics of the school. When he is directing a play, the members of the cast do their best. For this reason the sponsors welcome his able assistance. BILL WIMBLE Yesterday morning as I was walking down Natural Bridge with Roger the Senior, a New Jay came running pell-mell down the street with a note for Roger. After slipping the boy a Chicken Dinner for doing the favor, Roger proceeded to read the note to me.

Louis automobile manufacturer great-grandfather's second cousin ,i brother-in-law of George Washing- P. He is sixteen years old and un- unately born to a family of wealth: s me has no responsibilities, but lives with his brother and attends Beaumont, spend- ing most of his time in the shops. I-le lows the parts of his brother's machine so well that he can put them together in his sleep. Bill undoubtedly is mechani- cally inclined, but falls short in his school subjects. Once a week he studies his lessons as though they were the latest song hit: otherwise he lets them slide. He is popular with students who are not interested in school work. He is a great favorite among the older students of Beau- mont, often giving the boys wrenches, batteries, tire patches, tail lights, and other little accessories. He also very often gives the girls a lift in his machine when it is in running condtion. These obliging favors makes Bill the darling of the school. Sixty-four ROGER IN THE AUDITORIUM I know no evil in Beaumont so great as the abuse of the privileges in the Audi- torium, and yet there is no one vice more common. It has diffused itself through both sexes and all the terms of the stu- dents. But this unhappy affectation of being noisy rather than courteous, witty than attentive, is the source of the most ill-habits of life in the Auditorium. After lunch had been finished, Roger and Will slowly made their way to the Aud. As they walked in, Will Wimble was cracked on the back by a fresh stu- dent who said, I hope you don't feel hurt. Will, being a good sport, smiled and walked on with Roger. When they were seated, a small boy jumped over a seat and knocked Will's books all over the floor. Some one picked one of them up and threw it on the stage. When Will went to get it, every one laughed and jeered at him. After' he was again seated, two boys in front of him started a nst- nght and Roger had to separate them. Later, when Mr. Fuller came up on the stage and stepped forward to read the notices, a comparative hush fell on the audience. The otherwise satisfying effect was somewhat spoiled by the irritating disorder of some few younger pupils who evidently had not home training to give them an understanding of their responsibility toward school spirit. Roger tried to silence those around him because he was listening for an important football announcement. He managed to hear this notice, which was the last one given. The pupils talked until the second bell rang, after which there was a mad rush for the door. During this rush, Roger, trying to keep the pupils from pushing, lost two of his books. He remarked that he wondered why every one was so anxious to get to his classroom and yet did not want to stay after he got there. I -'-'rw we Am ' A nf Jo fffgafw .

We succeeded in getting in at the end of the line with only a few minor injuries and the loss of a history note book. We had to wait ten minutes, dur- ing which time several older students broke into the line. Roger expressed his disapproval of this, saying that anything in the way of special privileges ought not to become a tradition of the school, unless it applied only to seniors and then applied impartially. As Roger was getting our knives and forks, I put my hand into my pocket for a check and found several spoons there. Upon my mentioning this, Roger was a little annoyed at finding such childish jokes being played among high school stu- dents. Later, while carrying a bowl of soup, he was heartily slapped on the back by a well-meaning friend, with the result that half the soup went to increase the clean- ers' trade, and the other half stayed in the bowl. Aggravated by this occurrence, his mind was more disrupted by his having to make a detour around Pa family reunion which some New Jays were holding between the salad counter and the first table. Having made short work of our sand- wiches and soup, we were thinking about tackling the dessert line, when our medita- tions were interrupted by a student seated across the table, who seemed to be gurgling soup to the tune of a popular air. I was inclined to laugh at him, but Roger reproached me as we passed to the ice cream line, saying it was too much to expect perfect manners in a school of this size with students of so many kind. and conditions in it. He remarked--that the change in the students betwe' Hrst and fourth years shows how the school is doing for some of This made me feel more charitable ti the seemingly halfwitted studentj was rapidly walking in our di with his head turned in the oppos and who collided with Roger in sg, the latter's efforts to dodge him.

I heartily agreed with him and suggested that he make this recommendation to the student council. Roger promised to do this, and assured me that before long these incon- veniences would be corrected. Just then the last bell rang, and we started for the auditorium.

HENRY 'F EPQHAPS you do not care for gi, baseball, tennis, swimming, or .E-ag, skating,-but when it comes to driving, that's different. In the present age, all the members of .e family indulge in this sport. Of Nurse, they drive differently, though they do belong to the same family. Now, Mother, who is very nervous, took up driving in order to remedy this, though - ling really seems to make her worse. .ie sits very erect and admits that she drives well. Occasionally, to be sure, she forgets her signals for left turns, but what Joes that matter? She drives slowly, and frequents only the obscure streets to avoid the ngestion caused by the other cars. Next comes Father. He is the family's driver, or rather, he thinks he is. He has driven the longest and knows more about th: mechanism, and therefore feels that he is entitled to the last word. Nevertheless, he has had some decidedly humorous experiences since he learned to drive. For instance, one afternoon the family started for a pleasant ride. Much to our dismay, we collided with a street car, an accident which resulted in one damaged fender and a fall in the family's spirit. Thereafter, Father drove slowly, so slowly, in fact, that one day a lady in quite a bit of a hurry, walked into the car. Ever since, Father has been in such a state of uncer- tainty as to speed that he avoids driving as much as possible. Sixty-six This condition of affairs just suits Son, the family's pride and despair. He is just seventeen and, therefore, considers himself very knowing. When it is possible, he drives the car to school to take the gang joy riding. He never overcrowds it except when there is no longer room on the inside. There are no objections on his part when the boys stand on the running board. He drives over the worst roads possible in order to test the snubbers or shock-absorbers. He is the authority to take charge when the car creaks mourn- fully, and then all the internal parts are entirely deranged. On Saturday morning he cleans the old bus to the height of per- fection. Woe to the unhappy mortal who chances to drive it into a mudpuddle. Of course, if Son does, that's quite a different thing. Sis, too, knows how to drive, and she considers herself twice as attractive when she is at the wheel, and prides herself on her ability to out-talk any traffic officer who may have the good fortune to stop her. Nevertheless, with Son, Sis is usually on the losing side of any argument involv- ing the use of the car. Luckily, however, Father interferes and settles the dispute by penalizing both. The penalty is no driv- ing for either for one week. After this decision, Sis and Son sympathize very sincerely with each other, and peace is again restored. The family drives the car. up f k ai gtg tg. fit' X YLFQJQJQS a'l1fCWT'fsll'l xl , .0 --. ' 7 ill -15 Q l 1 THE CADUCEUS NEW ZEALAND By FRANCES HENDERSON HE Dominion of New Zealand is Qin' part of the British Empire. It is between 35 degrees and 45 degrees south latitude, and about 170 degrees east longitude. New Zealand is 1,200 miles southeast of Australia. There are two principal islands, separated by Cook Strait, and many small islands. The group is 1,000 miles long and contains a little more than 100,000 square miles. It is about as large as the State of Colo- rado. The population, which is some- what over l,000,000, includes about 50,000 Maoris. These are the native peo- ple of the islands. The lVlaoris are a strong, brown race. Many of them are now civilized and intelligent citizens of the British Empire. The civilized Maoris live in the larger towns, and are just as up-to-date as the white people. Schools, in which they learn English, have been established for them. They have a lan- guage of their own, but the modern way of living requires a knowledge of English. Two Maori villages, one Ohinemutu, the other Whaka-rewa-rewa CMaori namesj, are disordered collections of irregular huts which serve as living quarters. The Maoris spend their lives on the edge of a cold lake, which is sur- rounded by hot pools and steam jets. They are a race untroubled by any wor- ries. They make all the use they can of Nature's forces, employing the steam and hot water' for various daily wants. They bathe incessantly. They wash clothes in the pools. Most interesting to watch is their cooking. Here the steam of the blow-holes is their servant. They lay their food in baskets of flax in some clear boiling spring. They choose, of course, water that is tasteless. This way of cook- ing food was and is still the favorite method of the Maori. New Zealand is sometimes called the 'Britain of the South, a patriotic but misleading name. New Zealand is not very much like Great Britain, though spots can be found there where English- men or Scotchmen might almost think themselves at home. As far as England is concerned, the likeness is eifected by the transplanting of English trees and flowers: by the cultivation of English crops and grasses, and by the copying, more or less closely, of English architecture and dress. The resemblance to Scotland is n' effected in quite the same way. There are certain landscapes which carryrthe Scot s memory back to the Highland Lochsof his native land. These scenes are called Scotland under a different sky. ' The New Zealander lives on the averalg. of twelve degrees nearer' the equator than the people of the 'AOld Country. , In Wellington the temperature for. the whole year is almost the same as in St. Louis St. Louis is 16 degrees warmer in the um- mer, and 17 degrees colder in the winter. In the towns now you may see bustling streets and electric street cars, which run out into roomy suburbs. The towns -are better drained than paved, the water sup- ply everywhere is as it ought to be in a well watered country. The hotels do not display American magnificence, but are very comfortable. Good art schools have been established in the larger towns and in some of the smaller ones, where chil- dren are taught to draw. New Zealand has four chief towns large enough to be called cities. Welling- ton, the capital, is not the largest, rapid as its progress has been for the last genera- tion. Auckland with 90,000 is still the largest and most beautiful. Wellington with 70,000 holds second place. Welling- ton is now a city of more complex condi- tions evolved by men of commerce and science. It is a large and still growing Sixty-seven H 9 qv-r -,sw , , -sr ' 'YV as ,LT lr . . l .- ff-if-M5-. fa 'T K 'f ' 13 il Qgf ' Q- , ix - I li m , fl -, THE CADUCEUS city, stretching its suburban arms toward the ocean and up the steep hillsides. It is a city with great warehouses, built where the waves used to roll lazily shorewards. It is a city with a society that considers itself one of the largest of a new Dominion, enriched by the presence of Parliament, and copying fashions of the older cities in the Motherland. As we look down into the span of years, we find it not so long since the canoes of the Maoris were the only vessels entering the port of Wellington. Today in their places are the wonderful Twin Screw Liners, bearing men and merchandise all over the world, The Auckland Province is called the Wonderland of the Wor'ld, for over its thousand square miles are spread such mar- vels as can scarcely be found elsewhere. There are geysers, boiling rivers, hot lakes, scenic wondersg it is also a world's Sana- torium. Its mineral springs and natural hot baths have restored many sufferers to health. The township of Roto-rua is a modern and comfortable town as well as a place of scenic wonders. It is scientifically drained, and it is lit by electricity. Hotels and tiny lodging houses look out upon avenues planted with trees. The public gardens cover the peninsula which extends out into the lake, and their flowery wind- ing paths lead to lawns and tennis courts where tea is served by Maori waitresses. A steam launch may carry visitors from one lake to another: or busses convey them to watch the geysers, The visitors picnic where they can listen to cauldrons of mud which looks like boiling porridge, sucking and gurgling in a disagreeable fashion. But more beautiful than all these are the cold lakes, and cliffs. There are steam jets scattered about, and there are great ash- geysers. They burst into sudden activity beds spread out by volcanic outbursts. and as unexpectedly go to sleep again Travelers could spend months examining These geysers are large although small as the wonders of Auckland and still leave compared with the Giant and the Old much unseen.

W THE CADUCEUS TI-IIEVES By JOHN HIS is a thievish world! There are thieves of all varieties existingiin it. Qur newspapers overflow with articles concerning diamond thieves, pay-roll thieves, and various other kinds of thieves. However, there is one variety of thief who is seldom named in everyday society. It is he who could beyond all doubt carry the most glaring of all headlines. His name is very appro- priate. He is called the Thief of Time. He was perhaps originally named by the eminent modern essay writer, Miss Agnes Repplier. She came to give him that title because she had been the object of his thievery. However, she is by no means the only person who has encountered the pil- ferer of that valuable something labelled Time. The modern high school student who has ambitions certainly understands to whom I am referring. In order to understand the position of the serious high school student, we must know that he is in high school for the purpose of learning all he can. He does not groan under a moderate burden of homework. When the teachers, however, add to his daily burden a few extra reports or a long assignment, he begins, perhaps unjustly. to visualize those learned persons as stealers of his precious time. We all sympathize with him. Of course, the ambitious laborer grins and bears it. The rest of the pupils cannot rightly protest because they are likewise guilty of the ter- rible crime of stealing time. For it is the delight of some students to start a fili- buster in their classes. The practice has become so common that the teachers have taken notice and, consequently, evade the tangent queries. When teachers no longer allow those pilferers to spend the time thus, the rest- less pupils turn upon their fellow class- OF TIME SCHNEIDER mates and proceed to rob them of their precious moments. A typical setting for this scene is the chemistry laboratory. An interested chemistry student can find some- thing of which to think all the time. The time-burglars steal upon him unawares and put him through a veritable third degree by plying him with questions per- taining to various modes of chemistry. He must tell them what is in a certain solu- tion that they thrust up to his nose: what he would add nextg why a certain result has such a peculiar color and odor: and why he does not answer all questions at once. A sputtering crash behind causes him to turn around. He usually finds his own precious results widely smeared over the whole table top and the books thereon. He may have to bear it, but I don't think that he will grin with the corners of his mouth upturned. Then there are those dependent time thugs who borrow paper, pencils, erasers, combs, chewing gum, money, and other school accessories. It takes time to hand out the articles, but it takes much longer to get them back. After the pilferers have divested their victim of his implements, they proceed to snatch the work of his own brain, the toil of many an hour. This act is what may be styled wholesale time robbery. Have you ever held any scholarship honors? If you have you will find that the same pests will drag you through an everlasting inquisition. They will want to know your secret of success, your rela- tions with teachers, the amount of mid- night oil you consume, and, finally, your present chances. if any, of upholding your record. All these questions they could easily answer for themselves with the application of a little thought. Instead, Sixty-nine WI F . 1 1 4 fax' Q- l 'WDA NSW Xl5Q7:5',?s f 3 - Ciba Y, U1 i45c .wilt I X2 I Q .rs 'rt a , l ' lug l THECADUCEUS they prefer to spend your valuable time by asking foolish questions. Another variety of time-snatcber is the witty person who occupies a diligent per- son's time in relating a story whose plot has as much action as that of a time-worn Tin Elizabeth slowly absorbing oxygen on some vacant lot. The little dears are born with a natural instinct to generate large volumes of hot air. At the close of the school day, the once ambitious student Wends his weary way homeward, bereft of time and dazed by the shock of many, many queries. As he reaches his haven and prepares his lamp for another night's persistent toil, up pop the time-snatchers in the disguise of ultra- sociable friends who while away his time with a conglomeration of meaningless words or who invite him to participate in some recreational diversion for which there is absolutely no time. As the long suffer- ing one wards off the marauders, their numbers are increased by the younger brother with some brain-racking problem or the elder sister tuning in some late syn- copated nonsense. Last, but by no means least, the door bell rings, and the last straw performs the deed. If you who are time thieves ever chance to meet a victim while he is in this condi- tion, it is for your benefit that I caution you to conceal yourselves until the tor- nado has passed. He is not responsible for his sinister thoughts since he is the victim of a series of robberies in which he has been divested of his most precious posses- sion, Time. A NEW CLUB By RAYMOND WIESE GROW weary, and overcome by the altostratus and the dull monotony of a school day, stop, and sink down onto one of the hard oaken benches provided by the Board of Education. .Sl As I lounge half awake and half asleep I become aware of the approach of two human beings who have taken the form of a globule all curves and no angles. One gives the other a slap upon the back and is rewarded by the movement resembling that often displayed by a dish of jello. These beings of no visible bone now go into the opposite room. When they are barely inside, the hall is shaken by the approach of ponderous mammals. The newcomers are six boys and one man all of Whom have pauncbes developed to a Seventy degree generally attained only by a native African ruler. My lethargy is leaving me and now I remember that this is the Overweight Club which is organizing today in spite of the laughs and jeersi ofa sneering student body. Olive Cummins, Clinton Allen. David Bacbax, Herbert Mintrex, Frank Puffy, John Mercher, Ralph Scaife, and Vernon Soldman are the charter members. All prospective members of the club must be from 25 pounds to lZ5 pounds over- weight according to a scale made out by its corpulent members. The club will meet every Friday at 2:30 in room 108 and its purpose is to promote comradeship among the obese lads and to revive the secret ideals of that old English Club, the Eat Man's Club of England. v 22- QAQQ 1 if .

Dear Sir: Received your order for ten gross Adams Patented Left-handed Portable Non-corrosive Adjustable Mouse Traps, which has been given our careful atten- tion. Naturally, when buying a mouse trap you want to get something which will give absolute satisfaction to your customers, the mice. Is it not true that a satisfied customer always comes back for more? If you use our traps, we can guarantee that the mice will always come back for more cheese--or whatever you use for bait. And as for the trap suddenly closing and mashing one of your cus- tomers, as most traps will do occasional- ly, such a thing simply does not happen with our traps. An order for one hundred gross of these traps would have entitled you to a copy of our booklet, i'Mouse Bait Recipes, which tells in detail just how to concoct dainty dishes with which to hold your trade. We are enclosing this anyway, and are trusting you will send an order for the remaining ninety gross, Yours for satisfaction, J. Adams Mouse Trap Corp. John Smith. March 18, 1926. Mr. E. Z.

Dear Madam: We feel it our duty to let you know that Cut 'Em Can Openers are declared by responsible critics to be the very best in the central part of the United States, and so far, have lived up to their reputa- tion fairly well. Three out of six cans open beautifully when our openers are used. Of course, to obtain such unusual results, you must first learn the correct way to handle a Cut 'Em. If you are right handed, grasp the opener in the left hand. Push a hole in the tin with an ice pick, and then place opener in the hole and turn slowly. lf you do not use these directions, you are liable to injury for which we are not responsible. We suggest, also, that our openers be kept out of childr'en's reach, as we have had many complaints from well meaning mothers who let their children, while teething, play with our openers, We guarantee these time saving devices for a year and a day to those who pass the Right Usage examination furnished by the company. lf interested, please write immediately as we may not be in business much longer.

Much less giving you a thousand a week, I'm not even going to give you the part! Mr. Josephs' voice, deep, reverberating, carefully modulated, was supposed to give Miss Frances the impression that there was no more to be said about the matter. Regardless of what he would have said, that voice would have conveyed to you the knowledge that he had viewed the matter from all angles, had impartially gone over all the evidence presented, and, after grave consideration, had come to this conclusion. The slight emphasis on certain words im- plied that further discussion of the matter would be very distasteful. Miss Frances, however, had no inten- tion of letting the matter drop there. 'AMr. Josephs, she said, without even a tremor, UI particularly want that part, and I think I'll have it yet. So? Yes Not only that, I think that you'll offer it to me at my own terms. Somehow, that struck Mr. Josephs as being particularly humorous. Young lady, he chuckled, Hif you could see the size of our list of 'Actors and Actresses Interested in Obtaining Employ- ment Immediately' you'd realize that my begging any one to do anything is quite improbable. That makes no difference at all. I think that I can play it better than any one else, 'AUmmmmmm- I've played everything from the ingenue to the leading lady, and now I'm in a position to demand something better than a good part in a good play. I've offered you a good part, as you so contemptuously call it, in one of the best plays of the year, and you've-- I've refused it, because I'm going to play Larkin's 'Mrs. Sinclairf If you wait for that part, you'1l have the pleasure of seeing me choose a less persistent person for the role. May I inquire where you are going to find such a person? I'm going to get the genuine article: no ilapper who'll wait only to fling the gray wig on the dressing table before she rushes out to her nightly round of pleasure. Not for this one. Miss Frances flared. Are you insinu- ating-? That you aren't the world's accepted idea of a sweet little home body? Well, rather! Imagine Merry Frances playing the self-sacrificing mother! I-Io, ho, ho! 'AYou, you- Miss Frances was giving every evidence of being ready to devour the man before her. Mr. Josephs, however, was quite accustomed to temperamental ladies. A'Now, now, quiet, Merry! You'll have to admit that not so long ago the play wasn't the Hrst thing in your young life. And just what difference does that make? 4 In this case, the difference is that when I bought this play, one of the conditions was that the character of 'Mrs. Sinclair' should be played by an actress of real ability, one who has had enough experi- ence and background to play the part intelligently, in short, a woman at least fifteen years older than you are.

Now listen, Miss Frances, he began. using that confidential manner which had served him in good stead before, if this were an ordinary play, I'd give you the part in a minute, though I'm sure I don't understand why you want it. But you know for yourself that this one is differ- ent. It's Larkin's fifth, and if it's nearly as successful as the last two. it'll run at least a year. Well, I have to give that part to some one who can play the old lady so well that her own personality will be entirely overshadowed. Could you so hide yourself behind a gown and a wig that every one would think of Mrs. Sin- clair, and not of Merry Frances? Hummmphhl You could not! Miss Frances was not deceived by this turn in the defense. I think I played Jordon's 'Mathilde' rather well, she parried. 'iThat was different. The character was a much younger woman, and there was no need of your recasting your own personality to suit the part. You can't say that about 'Rose Flem- ing. Evidently she didn't understand that he didn't want her on any consideration whatsoever. He'd have to end the inter- view somehow. Hang it all, Merry, aren't you satis- fied that I won't give you the part no mat- ter what you say? I've determined to get a really old actress, and I'm going to do it. What'll become of your reputation of being a fair-minded man? You won't even give me a chance! Well, you haven't properly developed the art of sustaining an illusion. I admit that you might be successful at first, but you would be Merry Frances again before the end of the first act. Seventy-four Ummmm--I'm not so sure about that. Contrary to Mr. Josephs' expectations, Miss Frances could never have been taken for a disillusioned young lady as she left his office. Instead, it was a very angry and determined young woman who hailed a taxi a moment later and was whisked uptown to a gigantic office building. She may have been preoccupied when she alighted, but by the time she stepped from the elevator at the twentieth floor and into a side door marked John Gurthie. Pri- vate, she seemed to have left all her troubles behind her. She greeted the tall young man who rose at her entrance with, We move into tem- porary quarters tonight, John. A week later, Mr. Josephs was begin- ning to be worried: two weeks later the matter began to look serious, three weeks later he was frankly alarmed. He had interviewed nineteen ladies, and none of them had had more than half the neces- sary qualifications. In spite of his grow- ing waiting list he could find no one for the most important part in the play. He had seriously considered Hortense Millard: she had flatly refused an 'old lady' part. He had approached Lillian Wesley: she had just signed a contract with Huber. He had even gone so far as to interview Grace Thomas, but she was far too young for the part. The entire cast had been chosen: rehearsals awaited the selec- tion of a 'Mrs. Sinclair.' And no woman neither too young nor too old, too experi- enced nor too inexperienced, too well- known nor too little known, had been found. He mumbled all the way home: he grumbled at his friends in the lobby of his hotel-apartment, and he cursed in ive languages when he found that the hot showers were out of order. He dressed slowly, changed his tie four times, and forgot to tip the boy who brought up his mail. Then he went down to dinner, a E i Y AJQI rf' A538 '1 3 'E I 2 H Q utfCi5gW!.!-S 5211 iioivsd!

He had finished the bouillon, and had consumed two buns and four crackers before he realized that John Gurthie was entertaining a lady, and that she was a very interesting lady, in that Mr. Josephs had been looking for someone like her for a month-a matter to be looked into, sure- ly. Good evening, Josephs. How are you? Have you met Mrs. Gurthie? 'iHow are you, old man? No, I don't believe I have had the pleasure- Mother, this is Mr. Josephs, a big theatrical man here. I think you've heard me speak of him-- I'm very glad to know you, Mrs. Gurthie. Are you in any way interested in the theatre? Oh, very much so. But, of course, I left the stage long ago. What? Gurthie grinned. A whole theatrical family. You see, my father was a man- ager in a small way, but he persuaded mother that a career was not for her. Mrs. Gurthie smiled lovingly at the boy beside her. I didn't need much persua- sion, she said. That look plainly indi- cated that John was ample reward for the sacrilice of any career in the world. Mr. Josephs regarded the pair in amaze- ment. Come to think of it, he had never known that Gurthie had a mother, or rather, a mother like this. In the second place, where was Gurthie's wife? They had been as much in love with each other as ever, the last time he had seen them, and it was an extraordinary event for John to be without his Merry. At the thought of Merry, Josephs started. That was an idea! He'd offer the part Merry wanted so badly to her mother-in-law! But-he'd have to do some thinking. Mrs Gurthie, have you ever considered returning to the stage? Mrs. Gurthie smiled. It was a slow, lovely smiley there was magnetism and appeal in it. 'lThought of it. Yes, she answered, but never seriously con- sidered it. I never regretted quitting the stage, and I fear that I'm too old to think of it any more. She had a mighty line voice, low, sweet, with fine carrying qualities. None of these things escaped Mr. Josephs. He had already made up his mind that Mrs. Gurthie would return to the stage-in the character of 'Mrs. Sinclairf Gurthie put an affectionate arm around the little woman beside him. Now, Mother, he began, don't let the wicked man put such thoughts into your head. It's about time you began to take things easy, not the time to resume a career. Mr. Josephs had thought to lead up to the subject gradually, to prepare the way so that there could be no breaks in the plan, and to so organize his campaign that Merry Frances would be there to see him win. But now-he put on his most arbitrary manner. Mrs Gurthie, if you think that you can stand the strain of nine performances a week, I am in a position to offer you a mighty interesting role. Here, here, interrupted Gurthie, what do you think you're doing? I introduce you to Mrs. Gurthie and live minutes later you are asking her to return to the stage. What's to happen to me, I want to know? A'Now, John, you be still. I wouldn't be the first one to go back at my age, would I, Mr. Josephs? Whereupon followed three minutes in which Mr. Josephs, who made it an invariable rule to discourage any actress who planned a come-back, began to out- line the advantages and possibilities a stage career would have for Mrs. Gurthie. After these three minutes, he realized that he had better not hurry things too much. If once the lady suspected that he was try- Seventy-five , M ------ -- U r V- L? -'lar' . 51- Y 71 9 lf' -.ff . , 5 -U W ? U , 1f'1f-7KeSf'?iJ55'v', f KQ ' vi! X gif' M , 'V 1 l N THE CADUCEUS ing to get her to turn stageward to save his own reputation, this wonderful chance would be gone. Therefore, he modihed his statements by saying that only for women of such talent as Mrs. Gurthie undoubted- ly possessed would such advice hold. Now, if she should ever consider the matter seriously, Mr. Gurthie could direct her to his ofiices. Mr. Josephs retired that night a very happy man. If he could handle this properly, now, all his troubles would be over. If he could persuade Mrs. Gurthie that the thing for her to do was to accept the Wonderful opportunity he offered her, he was certain the play would be a success. The woman had character and personal- ity, and, too, she would be easily amenable to criticism, unlike most of the come-backs who thought they were beyond correction. After this play had run, say, a year, they could get another one along the same lines. And- Mr. Josephs dreamed on and on. lf he could handle only this one situa- tion now. He lay awake hours that night, and planned each step. First, he would invite them to dinner, and then to one of his plays. Now, which one would be the most suitable? Which one would be the most appropriate? Which would show the possibilities of the thing to best advantage? Which- Well, perhaps he had better tackle young Gurthie first. lf the boy was radically opposed to the idea, things would be pretty hard, but if he wasn't particularly interested- Yes, the wise thing to do would be to talk to young Gurthie first. And then, how long would he have to wait before he made the propo- sition? Neither of the Gurthies seemed in any hurry about the matter. They were very sorry, but they had an important engage- ment for that evening, and would be unable to see him. However, would he like a hand at bridge the next evening? So Seventy-six sorry he didn't play. And the next eve- ning? Well, they weren't sure, but per- haps they could see him. A week later things were still where they had begun. Josephs had made his proposition, and they seemed to think it was the best joke they had heard in a long time. They didn't see the catch, but they were certain there was one, for no man in his right senses would offer a long- forgotten actress the lead in a Larkin play. Something wrong somewhere. And then, oh joy of joys, he hit upon the right plan. Why hadn't he thought of it before? Why not confide in the lady? Why not tell her of his predica- ment, and appeal to her to help him? Why not tell her that he had been looking for some one to take the part for a month, and that it might have been made for her, so well did she fit it? Like most plans seized upon in extremi- ties, this one proved a God-send. Mrs. Gurthie listened sympathetically, and Gurthie raised no objections. In an amazingly short time, it Was agreed that Mrs. Gurthie should pay 'Mrs. Sinclair,' at fifteen hundred dollars for each week of regular performances. There was rejoicing in the Josephs office as the hands of the tall clockmet on ten. Just a few minutes, and the contract would be signed. He had had to pay her an enormous salary, but she had so lifted her right eyebrow when he protested, that he had said no more. Now, come to think of it, he had offered her her own terms. But it was worth it. Anything, anything at all, just so that the contract could be clinched today. She'd have to begin learn- ing the lines tonight. At precisely ten o'clock, the Gurthies were announced. Mr. Josephs himself ushered them into his private office and drew a chair for Mrs. Gurthie. He was pomposity itself as he handed her the gold pen with which all his stars signed their contracts.

I hope you'll have no difficulty in learning your lines. And-oh yes, rehearsals begin tomorrow morning. It oughtn't to take you more than a couple of days to learn the part. If you get into difliculties- here he smiled wickedly at John- your daughter-in- law, I'm sure, will be glad to help you. Ahemmm, ah, how is your wife now, John? I haven't seen her for a long time. Gurthie grinned. She's just signed a nice fat contract, and she's as happy as can be about it, Josephs, he said. Mr. Josephs could have impersonated 'Triumph' as he bowed his visitors out of his side door. l'm certain you'll have those lines soon, he smiled. Mrs. Gurthie smiled that slow, capti- vating smile Josephs had known would be the making of the play. But there was just a hint of triumph in those fine brown eyes, and as John opened the outer door, she said softly, still in keeping with the gown and the wig, I knew the lines a month ago. Some sort of joke, evidently. Now, if only he could have contrived to have little Merry there for the signing, his victory would have been complete. She was on the outs with John, evidently, or she would have heard that he was giving the part to her mother-in-law. Still, this was a mighty fine contractg bound the little lady to consult him on all matters- and when this play had run its year- He leaned back in his chair and perused each line with a new feeling of satisfac- tion-that is, till he came to the very end, where he found, Name in full-Mrs. John Gurthie.

You decide not to answer, as the words of seniors should be few and should be treasured by the lower classmen. Little Sister is a fourth-termer and con- siders herself quite a woman of the world. She calls again, 'll-Iey you, how do you punctuate this sentence? This time you look up long enough to remark very con- descendingly, Don't bother me, my child. Can't you realize that my mind is a thousand miles away? By this you mean that your mind is on much worthier and by far greater subjects than punctuating complex sentences. Silence reigns until Little Sister again chimes in, Did you ever read, 'The Ancient lVlariner'? How would you get the meaning of the third stanza? You then explain to Little Sister that you read The Ancient Mariner and, yes, you fully understood it. No, you will not explain that stanza to her because she would benefit more by working it out for herself. Of course, there is no question of your ability to do so, but in the long run you would be doing her a favor by not helping her, Little Sister is squelched a bit now and you sigh to think of the hairbreadth escape you have made to retain your dig- nity. Just when you are feeling safe, she pipes up, Do you know what Jean Howell told me that her brother said about you? Now you happen to be Seventy-eight interested in Bill Howell because he has already graduated and because-well, just because, Of course, you would rather sac- rifice your diploma than let Little Sister know this and yet you are quite anxious to hear what Bill Howell has said about you. You hope that Little Sister will tell you without your asking, but she knows what she's about, Since you remain silent, so does she. You see, Little Sister can be just as determined as you. You wonder what Bill could have said. Something nice, you hope. But you can see that Little Sister has made up her mind to say nothing unless you ask. Finally you decide to take the risk but you must go about it in a roundabout way so Little Sister may not suspect if she doesn't already know. Well, you say, what has Jean been up to now? Cute kid, isn't she? Little Sister has been waiting for this and she needs no further encouragement. Now she tells you. Jean told me that Bill said that Seniors think they are smart but they don't know as much as they think they do. They are nothing but a bunch of big- headed fools who think they know it all. There, that's exactly what he said, and Jean and I think so, too. Your dignity is now at stake. Shall you sacrifice it by saying several uncom- plimentary things about Bill or keep cold silence? Your dignity is invincible and you draw yourself up full height and remind Little Sister to tell Jean that both of them can keep their smart remarks for their civics class. , -E VII. .A, . -b,.'

Perhaps I'll climb a mountain, The snow-clad peaks explorep O sights that fill the traveler With awe forever more! Perhaps I 'll make a visit To the Garden of the Gods, And view the sights exquisite That decorate the sods. Some day I'll join the crowd, And enter the Cave o' the Windsg And stand in awe to view this cave The hand of nature trimmed, Then too. some day I will devote To seeing the Seven Falls, That dash against their barriers, The huge, red, granite walls. Before my travels thus do cease, I have a longing still, And that to visit Look-Out mount, The grave of Buffalo Bill. So I'd spend my care free days, Till traveling days are overg And die a happy, happy soul, A carefree western rover. .

Between these suitors two, decide- A soft warm breast, rough wind or tid But blue is cold and brown is warm, The one is calm, the other storm. This earth is wrinkled, sea is young, Away I will for youth has won. The sea my master, the earth my tool: The sea, my passion, hence shall rule! SOME DAY By HILLIARD VAHLE The woods are calling nature's way, The care free squirrel is swinging, I'll leave this weary town some-day, And take the pathway singing, That winding path that few have trod. It's in that path I'll walk with zest, That leads to Fellowship with God, And gives me peace and rest.

HeIlo. Hello, Is Kenneth there? This is he. What can I do for you? This is Joe. Say, Ken, do you want to go to an entertainment tonight? A'I'd surely like to, Joe, but I'm afraid that's out of the question. You see, I'm on the Student Council, and that august body has decided that I should write up the Caduceus report, and I have only tonight in which to do it. It's a short notice job. 'AThat's tough, Ken. Say, what do they do in the Student Council? A'Well, you see, it's this way, Joe. Each organization in the school has the privilege of sending a representative to the Council. All these representatives get together, elect officers, and form a little club of their own. There are twenty- five in the Council this term. Who are the officers this term? A'Jack I-Ialveland is the president: Ken Gerdel is the vice-president, and Charlotte Crunow is the secretary. They're pretty good. When does the Council meet? There is no regular time of meeting. The members come whenever a meeting is called. The Council expects every member to place its meeting above that of any other organization. AND KENNETH GERDEL They say that the Student Council put on the pep meeting for baseball. Is that a fact? Absolutely, Joe. The Council not only does that sort of thing but also sells the tickets and makes arrangements for the crowd when we have a game. You see, we have committees to take care of all sorts of school problems. We have a pep committee, of which Charlotte Cirunow is the chairman. It creates pep for all the games and entertainments. There is an aud. committee, of which John Schneider is chairman, and it arranges for programs in the auditorium. We also have a kick committee, which is at hand to receive all complaints and try to adjust them. Marjorie Klages is chairman of that com- mittee. We have a traffic committee, whose chairman is Burt Schaberg. It makes traffic rules and adjusts trouble in that direction, We have a party commit- tee, also, of which Doris Wehmeier is chairman. It is arranging for our first party this term. A'In other words. this bunch is a sort of a student advisory board to Mr. Fuller. 'AEXactly, Joe, and because of that, the Student Council representative of any organization should be chosen with the utmost care. I'm awfully sorry that I can't go tonight, Joe, but you see what I'm up against. Oh, that's all right, Ken, we'll make it up some other time, Goodbye. 'ASO long, Joe. See you tomorrow.

This is not to be f ' ' l wondered at, for we have a most efficient sponsor, Mr. Bell, and a peppy lot of boys and girls as members. We held our first meeting of the term on February Zlst and elected the follow- ing officers: President c,,c,,s,,s , ,- Ernst Spellmeyer Vice-President ., .Charlotte Crunow Secretary s,,s,,s,, ., ,E , ,s,, H ,,,, Inez Green Treasurer ,,,,,,,,, Leaville Riddick Caduceus Correspondentsfirace Halveland Student Council Repre- sentative c,,c,,s ., . ,Bert Schaberg At the next meeting, there was a discus- sion on the subject of initiation of stu- dents into the club. You see, every term we receive a large number of applicants for membership and it is customary for pros- pective members to go through some mysterious initiation while being inducted into the club. Many suggestions for inno- vation were made, and it was decided that the prospective rmembers pass an examina- tion before their initiation. The examina- tion consisted of such questions as, A'What is a policeman? 'Al-low high is up? What is a graduate? iAWhat is oxygen on the Hoof? 'iWhere does the light go, when it goes out? If you can answer HALVELAND these questions you are eligible to mem- bership in the Chem Club, provided that you take chemistry. This was only the preliminary part, for on March 29th the twenty-eight appli- cants who had successfully passed the test were initiated into the club and are now full fledged members. Our main social event of the term is the outing to Eern Cilen, to which all the members look forward. This term, those who attend the outing, will get their first coat of tan, as the sun is pretty hot in the middle of June. No one will mind that, l'm sure, as the fun compensates one for the sunburn, Everyone who joins the club is anxious to earn a Chemistry Club B and those to whom topics are assigned, especially the Seniors, go to work with a will, and pre- pare very interesting talks. Of course. we are rewarded for our work not only by making our club a suc- cess, but also by earning a UB by a point system, which Mr. Bell takes care of. At the end of the term the deserving members receive their B's. Next term. if you take Chemistry and become interested in the subject, join the Chem Club. and I am sure you will never regret it.

Members perform experi- ments and discuss important principles of science. Some subjects that have been dis- cussed this term were: The Electric SurgicalKnife The Vacuum Tube Experimental proof that air has weight. A very amusing but at the same time scientific, talk on 'AIron Ore was given, We plan to visit some plants which deal with something of interest to the club, and also to have an outing. Visitors are welcome as prospective members or curiosity seekers. Any one may join our club who has only some inclining interest in the science of physics. The object of the club is to stimulate interest in science, which surrounds us in our daily life. Physics is concerned with every occur- rence in nature, every phenomenal change in matter. We aim to arouse interest in this special scientific field. We have been granted the special privi- lege of using the laboratory apparatus. Points are earned through appearing on our programs and through volunteering and rendering service to our club, and also by attending our trips. Eifty points are rewarded with a club letter. In conclusion, I might add that girls are not at all barred from membership.

It was brought into existence last term by the gqgte of the printing classes of 1927-19 . Perhaps the reader does not know with what this club is connected. Its mem- bers must be graduates of the Two-Year Printing Course of Beaumont High School. This course was started eight years ago at Central High School, but for the last three terms printing classes have been held at Beaumont. At Central there were twenty-eight graduates and at Beaumont at the close of this term there will be fourteen, making a total of forty-two. The sponsor of this club is Mr. A. N. Beeman, the printing teacher. Miss Flor- ence Knepper is closely associated with printing in co-operative work between the printing and art departments. Our pin is a design based on an emblem originated by printing classes of 1921- l922, to which has been added an historic printing device and the word Artisans The prominent letters, HI. P. on the pin have been chosen by the same classes to mean: AA1nitiative-Patriotism-Honor. Only those who have graduated from this course may have a pin, although any one who has ever been a member of the printing classes may attend the banquets, Those who have not graduated but intend doing so are associate members. The active members are the Alumni of the Printing Course, A banquet is held annually at which all members are expected to appear. The pins are given at this banquet to those who have just graduated. An orchestra, which will be composed of members of this club is in process of organization. This orchestra will help entertain at banquets. Frank Ederhardt, a member of the first orchestra of Beau- mont and of the printing class of June, 1927, will conduct the orchestra. Ninety-nine ,w i ATICS CLUB ATHEM M fI lATH'CL B1 H ff AY, Dad, may I have fifty cents? What, didn't I give you fifty ' cents just yesterday? What do you think I am, a mint? Oh no sir, but you see, that was for the Debating Club and this is for the Math Club. The Math Club, eh? What sort of an organization is that? 'iWell, sir, it's a club to promote an interest in mathematics in the school, and to give the real students a chance to learn something of higher mathematics, some things that are not taught in the regular course. '4That is a worthy aim, all right. What sort of fellows belong to the club? i'The best in the school, sir. Jack Hal- veland is the President, Franklin Helbig is the Vice-president, Gordon Gregg is the Secretary, Rex Uphouse is the treasurer, Albert McCullom is the Student Council Representative, and Ken Gerdel is the Caduceus Correspondent. UThat is a good bunch of fellows, And I forgot to tell you that Miss Eitzen is the sponsor. Oh, yes. I met her at one of the openf house nights. A fine lady. That is one place, at least, where you are in good care. What do you do there? We have lots of fun, and we learn lots of things, too. I learned the method which the astronomers use in measuring the celestial bodies, their sizes, and the dis- tances from one to another, and how they co-mpute the size of the earth and other similar bodies. I learned how to multiply and divide and do other things on the slide rule. I also learned the history of some of the great mathematicians about Whom I had heard much but knew little. We are going to have a party, too, and We surely are going to have a lot of fun, Don't you think that it is a good club? Yes, son, perhaps it is. By the way, what does the club require of you beside the fifty cents for dues? Well the meetings are held every Thursday afternoon at 1:45 in room ll6 and all of the members are expected to be present. They must have taken at least Hve terms of mathematics and are expected to participate in the program. For all these things the members receive points toward a letter, which all are proud to possess. It surely is a good club. Dad, and I would hate to quit now. May I have the fifty cents? Yes, son, I believe that it is a good club. You may have all the fifty cent pieces fcr clubs of that kind' that you wish. fine Hundred One f- f - ' f -- 7--Y - L...

We also carry on some business at our meet- ings but our time is mostly spent in pleas- ant stenographic games which perhaps are devised by some of the members or found in professional magazines. Each member of the club plans a program for at least one meeting. Thus all members are satis- fied. T the first meeting of the Steno- The Stenography Club had a Christmas party which was enjoyed very much by the members. Helen Althaus, who won the most games, received the prize which had been a source of great curiosity. The other members also received small gifts. The club expects to have another party this term. Of course every member of the club is trying to earn a letter. Eighty points are required, and the winner of each contest receives a number of points toward her goal. The club is having pins made for those who belong and who desire them. At our meeting on March 31 we had Mr. Hidey, Director of Vocational Coun- seling, as our speaker. He gave us a very interesting talk on business life. He told us the importance of shorthand as a com- mercial subject and I think we all realized the importance of the subject since he explained it so thoroughly. Perhaps it is one of the many things on which we are obliged to practice before we get into the business world if we hope to become suc- cessful. Mr. Hidey stated that a person to become successful must be interested in his or her line of work. Clock watchers are not needed in any office. We enjoyed his talk and hope he will come again. The club members know that all third and fourth term shorthand pupils who do nct belong to the Stenography Club are missing a good time that helps intel- lectually as well as commercially. We wish to express our thanks to the officers for their service and to our spon- sor, Miss Ealk, for her help and advice. One Hundred Three V WITENAGEMOT MF By RosELLA DoDT UR organization, established for eafgl' the promotion of interest in debating and public speaking, '9 h91 may be regarded as a branch of that old English assembly of nobles, the Witenagemot. ln many respects, especially in its aims and qualifications for member- ship, our organization is similar to that older body. Students from the fourth to the eighth term are eligible for member- ship. The success and progress of our organif zation this term must be attributed to the untiring efforts of good officers working under our sponsors, Miss Colwell and Miss Rifkin, who have used a great deal of their time for our club. Mention at this time must also be made of Mr. Kemp, Mr. Mitchell, and Miss Sullivan, who coached the Boys' Team for the debate of the High School Boys' League which occurred Friday, March 25th. The question was: Resolved, that convention is superior to direct primary in the nomination of State and Federal Officers. The members com- posing the Affirmative Team were Fred Busse, Herman Ringwald, and William Campbell, while those of the Negative Team were Joe Cietlin, Jack Halveland, and Kenneth Gerdell with Robert May- sack as alternate. The Affirmative Team gained a victory over Roosevelt here at Beaumont. At Cleveland. however, the decision was given to the members of that school's team. Reports testify as to the good work and the brilliant rebuttal of our boys. This closes our League work for the year-three decisions out of a possible four in two debates. Next fall a new Ciirls' Team will have an opportunity to help to secure the per- manence of the Wellesley cup at Beaumont. With the co-operation of the club and the support of the students-body we plan a hard campaign. Come on, Beaumont!

The program this term consisted of debates on current subjects, with a study of parliamentary procedure, of speeches concerning the origin of the older Witenagemot, and of biographies of men who have contributed to oratory. Could anything be more interesting? Two other great events of the term are our party, which is to be held at the end of the term, and the presentation of the letters both to the members and the teams and to those members that have gained a hundred points. We deem these letters worth our best efforts and the team mem- bers are especially honored in winning a school letter for their participation in League debates. The Debating Club, first established at Yeatman, has grown from one of small numbers into a large organization of which its members are justly proud.

In ancient times, the Greeks went to the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi to obtain information in regard to matters of vital importance. Today I stand before you to give you information about the Writers' Club. You may ask me questions. What is the Writers' Club? The Writers' Club is a group of boys and girls who take an interest in writing. It is the purpose and aim of the club to encourage its members to write plays, poetry, stories, essays, etc. 'AWhen and where does the club meet? The club meets every Thursday dur- ing the eighth period in room 3Z8. Who are the officers? - The officers of the club were elected last term in order that the club might be reorganized more quickly this term. The following were chosen: President ,,,,,,,c, ,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,, . , ,,,, E rna Roth Vice-Presidentaw, c,,,.,,, .Mildred Howard Student Council Representative Helen Seeger Caduceus Correspondent L s,,Peter Braroe Librarian trrttteeet .tts Dorothy Oswald ' Very soon after the election the officers met, and with aid of the sponsor, appointed the reviewing committee, which consists of Bessie Savage, chairman, Doris Rockey, and Annabelle Wittmann. This committee takes charge of all manuscripts which are handed in. The more satis- factory of these are read to the club, whose members make the comments on the work. Who is the sponsor? This organization is ably sponsored by Miss Sprague, who always finds some good in each manuscript, no matter how much the Club members have picked it to pieces. Can one earn a letter? Yes. Letters are awarded according to a point system. Points are given for every manuscript handed in: for prompt payment of dues: for perfect attendance: and for each article in the Caduceus, pro- vided it was first passed upon by the Reviewing Committee. Erna Roth, Dorris Rockey, Hillard Vahle, and Earl Becher have the distinction of being the first members to win letters. What! Have you no more questions? Then I must be on my way to some other place where I can enlighten people in regard to the Writers' Club. On: i'.'

Through stamps one may obtain an elementary knowledge of art, geography, history, and to a much smaller extent, mathematics, languages, and government. One set of stamps nearly caused a war. One of St. Louis' leading bankers learned how to assess values through his collection. That is why there is stamp collecting. Several interested collectors in April, l926, joined interests under the guidance of Mr. Eschbach to form the present Beau- mont Stamp Club. At the time of organi- zation there were only a 4 few members. Now the club has a membership of thirty- flve active members. A letter was awarded to anyone as soon as he could earn the necessary one hundred points, either through the obtaining of new members, or by work in the club. Ten members have won their letters. The dues in the club are twenty-Eve cents per term. This helps pay the expense of material: pictures, cards, stamps and other necessities. At one of our most interesting meetings there were two exhibitions, one of triangle fast rl fa stamps by Robert Wittrock, and another of the stamps of all countries with a specialized United States. collections possessed some specimens that are very difficult Wittrock's Mr. very interesting to obtain.

I will say it is the Boys' Glee Club prac- ticing in the Aud or in l02. Sometimes it is necessary to remain a few minutes after 2:30. ln this case, con- siderable attention is given us by spectators passing in the corridors who gaze in won- derment why the boys are so full of song. They stand and gaze at us: Mr. Saeger has to politely tell them to move on as they hinder us somewhat from doing our best. We elected officers rather late this term as there were so many things to be done elec- at the beginning of the term. The tion was finally held with the following results: President ,S ,,,,, Rader Kleinschmidt VicefPresident .Ernest Spellmeyer Secretary and Caduceus The new officers were congratulated and this ended our regular meeting. We are holding extra meetings every Thursday after school for extra practice. We are now practicing for the Operetta 'ADrake's Drum to be given May 20.

U W mf TI-IECADUCEUS THE PUBLIC PERFORMANCE GROUP By HELEN PRANGE MQQ HE Public Performance Group is very steadily progressing and has now attained the height of being rn P-W one of the best working organiza- tions in Beaumont High School. The duty and the ambition of this group is to be of constant service to the school in the line of rendering musical entertainment. Many people belonging to the group have performed during this term and last in the auditorium. During the Hrst part of April of this term, Flora Fern Blackshaw, a pianist, was called upon to play in the auditorium on five minutes' notice. Remember, students, this playing in the auditorium on live minutes' notice is not as easy as it may look. Flora did wonderfully well and she deserves much to her credit. Now, this is what the group teaches you to do-to play in public. That is where it gets its name, and we think it very appropriate. There are many musicians in the school that do not belong to the group. Just think it over, and see if you don't think it a duty to your school to join. ,AW Miss La Berge, our sponsor Cour former sponsor having been Miss Dussuchalb, has also worked very hard to make the group a success. On the Tuesday following Easter Sun- day, an all Beethoven program was given by the group. Every person that per- formed did some part of Beethoven's works in memory of him. The musicale proved a big success. During the latter part of March, the group elected the following officers: President ,c,c,,s. , ......c,c.,c ..Walker Stewart Vice-President.. .... E... . .

Nfl T FIRFHFQTBA , HE Beaumont Orchestras, under Mr. Stamm's able direction, are ,BN I attaining-the dignity that 'such ' ' f ' organizations should manifest. Not only has there been an increase in the number of players in these two orches- tras, but there has also been an advance in the type of selections played. T ln order to accommodate the number of people who wish to affiliate with the orchestra, and to give each the attention he or she requires, the players are divided into a Junior and a Senior Orchestra. The brass and wind sections of these two orchestras have had such a rapid growth that Mr. Stamm feels a Band will soon be possible. At present, fifteen wind instruments, besides the drums, are avail- able for a Band. There have been a num- ber of public performances of the Orches- tras, The one on Color Day was con- spicuous in that the dignified March, A'Pomp and Circumstancef' by Elgar was played for the first time. The music from the operetta, A'Drake's Drum, given May 20th, was played from an orchestration written by Mr. Stamm. The Senior orchestra filled one engage- ment outside of the school at the Eugene Field School, also two engagements in our own Auditorium on April 20th and Zlst when there was a play presented by pupils of the Harrison School.

U I h 1 M554 e two gir s were on t e1r 'LJ' way home from school, and after the usual greetings, Esther began talking about the club which she had joined at the beginning of the term. We do have the 'bestest' times in the Art Appreciation Club, she said. But what do you do? inquired Norma. Oh, we go to the Art Museum every other Wednesday, and in the weeks between we have a meeting at school, What do you do at your meetings at school-paint and draw? If you do, I couldn't belong, because I can't even draw a straight line. UNo, we don't paint and draw. We attend to any business that may come up, and then we give the rest of the time to something connected with our art study. Do you know one thing we're doing? UNo, what? Do you know the names of any of the pictures in our iirst floor corridor? UNo, why? UWell, we're going to learn all of them, their names and the names of the artists who painted them. Then some time we're going to make a catalogue of them and hang it where everybody can use it. And another thing we may do is to write about some of our favorite paintings in the Art Museum. and some of the best of our articles Miss Powell-she's the Educa- tional Director who explains the aft col- lections at the Museum, and she's very nice and interesting-said she might have published in the newspaper. Esther paused for breath. UI think you MIGHT stop for breath, said Norma, Ubut tell me some more: it's interesting. UThat's not half of what we're doing. I wish we could win a cup or something for all we are hoping to accomplish. Many of us are making note-books for which we will receive points, fifty at the highest. And did you ever notice that the A. A. C. is the only club to have a bulletin board in the corridor? Well, it is, and we use it, too. There is a different picture in there almost every week and the members of the club study it. At the end of the term we'll have studied about twenty pictures and those of us who want to take a test on them can get points toward our letter. By the way, you have to earn a hundred points to get a letter. Who is your sponsor, and who are your officers? We have two sponsors, Miss Sessing- haus and Miss Quellmalz, and Hilda Haase is our President. At the end of last term we elected Herbert Bueltmann Vice- President, but he could not belong to the club this year, and so we had another elec- tion and now Delores Eischer is our Vice- President. The Secretary-Treasurer is Vio- let Glorioso, and her assistant is Ruth Leppe. Our Student Council Representa- tive is Doris Wehmeier, who was our President last term, UGee, I think I'll join next term, cried Norma. USure, 'the more the merrierf ended Esther as the two separated. One Hundred Ninefeen 'T UB URSIONISTS' CL XC E P! ,Qmm : MW Mll , nur ieiWiuiei uuui MY IMPRESSIONS OF FOUR CLASS TRIPS By ELWARD HILBERT LTHOUCJ-I I have only been on four of the class trips of the Beaumont Excursionists' Club, sponsored by Miss Levy, voca- tions teacher of the members, I have a very good impression of them. Any pupil of Miss Levy's classes who has noth- ing to do on Thursdays should surely go on these trips for they are always interest- ing and will give one a better knowledge of available positions in Saint Louis' industrial plants. The first class trip was an interesting one for we visited the City Dairies Com- pany, makers of Furnas and De Luxe Ice Creams. This company, founded by Mr. Furnas many years ago, is located at 4218 Laclede Avenue. I had often wondered how three different flavors of ice creams could be put into the form of a brick without their running together. So I was especially interested in a machine, into which the three different flavors are put after being frozen to such a degree that they can be poured into the carton and still not run together. The cartons are transferred to a room where the tem- perature is kept at a freezing point and there the freezing process ends. The second trip I took was to the David Ranken, Jr, School of Mechanical Trades, located at Newstead and Cook Avenues. This institution was founded and liberally endowed by the late David Ranken, Jr., of Saint Louis. The school exists for the purpose of training and fitting boys and men for the mechanical or manual trades and occupations. The instruction offered in the day school covers carpentry, plumbing, sign painting and decorating, pattern-making, machine-shop practice, automobile repair, applied electricity, and power plant oper- ation and refrigeration. In the evening classes instruction is offered in these and in other subjects according to demand. It was interesting to know that the school makes its own heat, power, and refrigeration and also that all repairing is done by the boys. April 8th we visited the Walter Freund Bread Company, located at Taylor and Chouteau Avenues. The method of bak- ing used is primarily the same as the one used by our mothers. As we had been speaking of sprinkling systems a few days before in class, we were interested in a sprinkling system installed in the addition which is now being built. If a fire breaks out, the heat will naturally rise to the top of the room and when it reaches a certain temperature the valves automatically open and at the same time an alarm is turned in to the fire department. Last Thursday, April l4th, we visited the Federal Reserve Bank. It is located at 5th and Locust Streets. Here we were shown several ten thousand dollar bills. the largest denomination made and the first I had ever seen. Another interesting feature was the vault. The solid steel door weighs sev- eral tons and is operated by a time clock. There is also a door in the back and a passage all around the vault. When both doors are closed no fresh air gets into these passages and if a burglar tries to get through the thick wall with a torch, the fumes of it would overcome him before he could succeed. On the whole all the trips are exceed- ingly interesting and I am quite sure I will go on as many as possible.

Mercury, who carries the staff or Caduceus, was the winged messen- ger of the Greek and Roman gods. It is said that upon a certain journey, Mercury found two snakes quarreling but when he placed his staff between them. they entwined about it in friendly union. This, then, gives us the emblem of friendship which Beaumont wishes to send out to every one. The staff was also known to make the dead live. Mercury himself signifies speed and that is why Beaumont tries to be first in every- thing. We also wish to be messengers to the world by sending out to it happy, hearty, and reliable citizens.

' ' ' v.fs'i, I G a I 9 THE CADUCEUS GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION By HELEN SEEGER EAUMONT High School always has a great number of visitors. One of these, a woman named Mrs. Norton,I was taking around the building on February 18, I showed her our wonderful auditorium, the gym- nasium, the library, the music room and all the other features which make us so proud of Beaumont. Then I took her down to the lunchroom. Why, she said, is this a party? The girls seem to be having a wonderful time. What is it? That's the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion, I answered, the largest organization in the school. We have over five hundred members. Today is the big event of the year, the party, which the girls have been planning for weeks. This year it's a Farmer party, last year it was a Pilgrim party, and another time it was an 'Ad' party at which the girls dressed like famous advertisements. After admiring the pretty table decora- tions, worked out in green and yellow, and the little silver buckets appropriately filled with corn candy, Mrs. Norton asked me to tell her more about the organiza- tion. The G. A. A., I explained, is an organization which offers such a large variety of activities that every girl in the school can find one activity which appeals to her. Apparatus, baseball, basketball, club-swinging, dancing, fencing, hiking, hockey, skating, swimming, and tennis are offered. What could be more enjoyable than an exciting game on the baseball or hockey fields: a refreshing swim in our own pool after one has had a hard day's work, an afternoon spent in learning new dance steps or new exercises in apparatus: or in learning to become skillful in fenc- ing, club swingingor ice skating? Points are given for work in any of these branches. For four hundred points a felt numeral is given, for eight hundred a felt B is awarded, and the award for twelve hundred points is a small gold pin enam- eled in blue and gold. It is considered an honor to receive any of these awards but the pin is especially desirable. 'iDoes each group have its own sponsor and officers? Mrs. Norton next asked. Yes, they do. I answered, 'ibut the sponsor over the whole group is Miss McQuiston, and there is also a general set of officers. These are for this term: President. ,,c,,,,c,.. . .,,,c.,r,,,.

Ruth Kuhlmann Student Council Repre- sentativeua.-. .,,,,, Anna Belle Wittmann Mrs. Norton seemed very interested in the G, A. A. and before she left-she said to me, USince the G. A. A. gives the girls experience in managing large affairs like your party, helps them to develop initiative as in planning table decoration and aids them in teamwork by their work in the various groups, I have decided that my daughter shall join the G. A. A. at once. One Hundred Twenty-seven ' -I G. A. A. FARMERS' PARTY DECORATIONS AT THE HEAD TABLE+G. A. A. PARTY THE WALKING SQUAD By OLIVE SYDNOR i.

We try to plan a walk that will take about an hour. Each girl must go with the squad twice before she is considered a member. Mem- bers of the Girls' Athletic Association who do not belong to this squad may be inter- ested in the fact that they will receive five points for each walk. Besides the fun we have and the points we earn on these walks, we have our semi- annual hikes, one in the spring, and one in the fall. Everyone of us looks forward to these hikes for we have a chance to be together all day. We take our lunch with us, and take a car out to the edge of the city. Erom there we walk into the woods somewhere and spend the day. Each girl who goes on this hike is given fifteen points. We have elected the following officers: Presidentwm ,, W, ,, Estelle Allen Secretary ,,,,,, e,,e,,,, , U H Lillian Mattern Caduccus Correspondent Olive Sydnor Every girl who is a member of the Girls' Athletic Association is welcome to join the Walking Squad.

Why, what club could be a dancing club and not be just brimming over with pep? Not ours, we can assure you. Do we have fun?

We're here to accomplish something, not, of course, to become members of a Russian Ballet, but to gain poise and grace. How could these be obtained in a better way than by dancing? One of the things of which we are proud is that We're improving, and it isn't by repeating love's slogan. We work, and enjoy it, It is evident that Dance Magic, has lured such a large number of girls to join the club that many must merely be con- tent to be on the waiting list.

A ,Ll g N 4 , eff ig By MARION JosTEDT HERE are times when anyone s would rather sleep than eat or dance than sleep, but who has ever heard of anyone preferring anything to swimming? Swimming is-well, it is just swim- ming. Who can adequately describe the exhilarating sensation of a good swim after a day crowded with history tests and unannounced physics quizzes? No one. Then all there is left to do is investigate and get a taste, and perhaps a noseful, of Beaumont Brine. To grace our pool and guard our lives, we have Marjorie Klages. Roberta Rigler, and Dorothy Wagner. Fine swimmers, these, and better instructors, Miss Knepper, Miss Walsh, Miss Childs, and Miss Rowan are our sponsors. Indeed, without their help and guidance our club would be nil. The members of the club showed rare judgment in electing the following officers who, with the help of the sponsors, drew up the requirements for tests: Student Council Repre- sentative ,,e.. . . .... . Marjorie Klages Secretary. ,..,, . . ,,t,ee, Roberta Rigler 5458 Below is a list of tests for gaining recognition in the club. l. The Baby Duck-This is really not much of a test: it is simply to get you started. You must swim once across the pool, be able to jump in, and show general fearlessness in the water. 2. The Young Duck-The requirements in this test are that one be able to swim two lengths of the pool, success- fully demonstrate three different strokes, and execute one good drive. 3. The Beaumont Duck-This is the final test and is quite difficult. To pass it you must swim ten lengths of the pool, alternating your stroke if you wish. do two different dives, and swim three lengths of the pool, each length with a different stroke. We swim every night except Friday after school from two-thirty till four. If you can not swim at all, classes are held every Monday and Wednesday after- noon under the supervision of a guard and the teacher in charge. Part of the pool is roped off and none but beginners can pass the rope. In this way the club takes care of all its members. So whether you can swim or not, we want you to join the Ducks' Club.

That's what we get in our base- ball games. Come, girls, and join us, The more the merrier. 1425 This club was organized in the spring of 1926, but very little was heard of us, because of the short time we had to play. The weather was bad and we were quite late in getting started. We hope that weather conditions will not hold us back again this season, A large number of girls attended our first meeting, for we make perfect attend- ance a requirement. This rule has been adopted in order to give the girls a chance to play who are really interested and will attend regularly, We demand 100 per cent attendance and drop all those who are absent once. Because of the large number who have enrolled, we have two groups, which meet after school, one on Wednes- day and the other on Thursday. WEDNESDAY GROUP President ,c .

If we admitted only those who know how to play we wouldn't have many members in our club, but we can all catch 'Aflies -though that isn't saying what kinde4and we have lots of fun Ustealing bases. Some- times our A'White Sox even get a run in. We manage to get along without an umpire, but if any questions arise which we ourselves cannot settle, we have our coach Miss Harrison help us decide, Come out, girls, and watch us play.

PLACE: Beaumont Girls' Gymna- sium. CHARACTERS: A Verdant New Jay and a Digniiied Fourth Termer. Four teams of girls are playing basket- ball, and other girls are draped in various places and positions around the gymna- sium. Verdant New Jay: What're they doin'? Dignilied Eourth Termer: Why, don't you know? They're playing basketball. V. N. J.: But what're they doin' with them colored satin sashes on? D. E. T.: They aren't satin: they're cambric. They are to distinguish the teams. The blue. green, yellow and red are the respective colors of the teams. V. N. J.: Why is that one without any sash takin' the ball away- from the girl with the blue sash on? iI'd punch her in the nose. D. E. T.: Oh, no you wouldn't! She's referee and what she says goesl V. N. J.: Say, just look at that dumb girl tryin' to hit that board and she's a mile away from it. I'd git closer if I was her. Why don't they move that thing that's right in the middle of the board? D. E. T.: You're positively all wrong. In the first place, that thing is the bas- ket, and she is trying to throw the ball into it: and in the second place, she is not allowed to walk with the ball in her hands. V. N. J.: Well then, if a kid can't walk with the ball, why is that one with- out any sash walkin' with the ball? D. E. T.: Oh, Dumbbell! She's going to have a toss-up, because they made a basket. V. N. J.: Where is it? When did they make it? Oh, those two girls in center hit the ball away from the referee. What's she goin' to do to them fer that? Why. she isn't doin' a thing. D. E. T. Closing patience and dignityj 1 Say, kid, you're as dumb as they make 'em. Join basketball and you won't have to ask so many questions. V. N. J.: Well, don't fly off your head. You were green yourself once. weren't you? Where is the sponsor and why don't she stop those two girls from running wild over that ball? D. E. T.: Our sponsor is Miss Harri- son and it's the business of those two girls to run after the ball, because the one who gets it will have a chance to score a point for her side. V. N. J.: I wouldn't care to be secre- tary of this club. I'd have to spend the whole period calling the roll, because there are so many. D. E. T.: Why there are only 63 girls now and there were ll0 'at the time lit organized. It was necessary for some to drop out because of irregular attendance or because they had a weak heart. You see, we find it necessary to undergo a heart examination, because basketball is a rather strenuous game, even if it is played accord- ing to girls' rules. V. N. J.: Go can that high tone talk with mel But tell me who are the officers. then maybe I'll l D. E. T.: Well here goes. Now listen closely. because I won't repeat it.

Very great progress has ' been made by school patrons' associations since their beginning, with the purpose in view of bringing about a greater interest in schools on the part of parents. The Beaumont Asso- ciation is seeking not only to interest all par- ents in the Welfare of their children in this high school but also to co-operate and help in every way possible in the administration of the school with its twenty-eight hundred pupils. Our Association has ' made rapid growth and progress since its organ- ization on January 12, 1926, with sixty-nine charter members, until at present it has a mem- bership of more than ing the past six months spoken upon such subjects as, Our Boy, Vocation Training, The Care of Our Children, Financing Our Schools, etc. Although the primary object of our association is to lend a helping hand to four hundred. Our f meetings are now held in the Music Room at Beaumont High School on the second Wednes- day evening of each month. These meetings should be of vital interest to every parent who has a child in school, for matters that are of the utmost importance to the child are here openly discussed.

Fathers' a nd Sons' Night is one of our so- cial events, as is also the Surprise Entertainment given by the Mothers and Patrons. These social evenings all tend to give whole-hearted moral support and cre- ate an atmosphere of good fellowship among faculty, students, and patrons.

MAYSACK the beginning of the season we disposed of such strong lives as McBride, Clayton, and Univer- sity City, all by close scores. Then, after holding a powerful Alumni team to a tie for three quarters, we weak- ened and were beaten, 22-8. We not only suffered our first defeat in this game, but also lost the services of Captain Jean Neil, who broke his ankle. We then defeated St. Louis University High School, 13-12, in an extra-period game, and were shaded on the next evening by Webster, 17-13. We were practicing hard one night for the Roosevelt game, which was to be our first in the league, when Ollie Weiss, a regular forward, broke a bone in his ankle. Being without two regulars, we lost to Roosevelt, 31-15, We then handed Cen- tral the short end of a 14-13 count, after which we defeated Soldan, 26-25. ln the Soldan game Neil's return helped the team greatly. We then bowed to the powerful Cleveland quintet, which won all of its league contests from that point on. ln this game we were handicapped by the loss of Ronald Horr, a star guard, who became ineligible. While waiting for our next league game, we outclassed Country Day, Maple- wood, and the St. Louis College of Phar- macy, ln the first two games the scores the last one the were fairly large, but in score was close, being 37-35. In the second round we faced Roose- velt, with Weiss again in the lineup, but were no match for the fast, baffling attack of the Champions and went down to defeat, the score being 44-13. We then triumphed over Central for the second time, 12-8, in a rough and uninteresting game. Soldan gained a victory over us, 26-14, and we finished the league schedule when we were again swamped by Cleve- land, this time by a 42-16 score. We then entered in the St. Louis Dis- trict Tournament, the finalists of which were to journey to Columbia to compete for the state championship. We were scheduled to play Wellston, County League Champions, at ten o'clock on a Friday morning. However, the Board of Education refused to allow our team to leave the school at that time and we were forced to forfeit the game. After this disappointment, we enrolled in the Washington University Tourna- ment. We drew a bye for the first round and Clayton for our second round oppon- ent. We won the Clayton game, which required an extra period, by one point. Schneider's successful foul toss proved the winning marker. We then encountered Alton and were leading them at one instance, 19-11. They then crept up on us to tie the score at 21-21. At this point Otto Rost sunk a field goal from mid- court to give Beaumont a two point advantage. Only a minute and a half remained to be played and it looked as if it would be a victory for us. However, Alton opened a dazzling attack and had dropped two field goals through the net before the final gun was sounded, ln this tournament, Bud Heidbrink and Herb Steideman were the chief point makers, the former getting 18 points in the two games and the latter 14 points. Weidner's floor game and the guarding of Rost and Schneider were other features. - Much of the team's success this year was due to the coaching of Mr. Lewis and the leadership and playing of .lean Neil. This year the school gave the team better support than it has given any other athletic team. Next year, Heidbrink, Steideman, Rost, Weidner, Barnhouse, Holtman, Brazil, Horr, Hochstadt, Moeller, Brown and Maysack will return.

We are indeed sorry to see them go, but we have hopes that we will be able to fill these vacancies with as com- petent gymnasts and good fellows, as they have proved themselves to be. The Gym Club put in very strenuous efforts practicing for the Eathers' and Sons' Banquet given April 29th. and proved to the fathers what good progress has been made in the physical development of their sons. The Horizontal Bar Team was in the exhibition. This was the second performance given this term, the other one having been given on New Junior night. On March 7, 1927, the Gym Club officers were elected. Rex Uphouse was made President and Louis Strecker Vice- President. Henry Meyerhoff was elected Secretary-Treasurer: Irvin Hoener, Stu- dent Council Representative: and Edward Simmons, Caduceus Correspondent. j'E . 3 g j 5 a g 3 gi. fc I ' iw f N 10 ff? ., :lm 'Mi One Hundred Forty -Hue BASEBALL TEAM . 01 W lMbIIII!llllIIIIIIWIIIIIIIMIIIII 1 Mmmwxu mmmwxx ' a .

They were long and short, heavy and light, experi- enced and inexperienced. Along with others, two letter men of former seasons reported. They were Harold Grant and William Harkins. lt was believed that with these two highly valuable men, a team of some merit could be put in the field in a few weeks. lt turned out so, for when, about two weeks before the regular season opened, 'ASkippy Stivers and his St. Louis Uni- versity ball club came to Beaumont field for a practice game, 'ALefty Grant and Ty Harkins were in left field and cen- ter field respectively. With Lautenschlager holding down the right field place, it looked as though Beaumont had the class of outfields in the league. Our infield had two men of some experience in Roller and Slater, each of whom played at least one game last sea- son. The former was at second and Slater at first. Fox at shortstop had been out the year previous, but had not played in a regular game. At third was Carr. best-looking lad of a host of third-base- men. Our battery in the St. Louis University game was Jordan and Hagerty. Jordan did not play in 1926 on account of ill- ness and Hagerty was new to the catching position. But by some sterling fielding the Beau- mont lads held the heavy-hitting Uni- versity team to four real hits and six runs. while the High School got six hits and four runs. ln this game Grant and Har- kins showed their hitting power by delivering a two-base hit each, Grant's landing on top of the school building. Then the St. Louis Cardinals took Grant from the team. It left a wide hole to fill, for Grant could fill almost any place which developed weakness in the infield. And he was extremely valuable as a pitcher. He probably would have pitched the first High School game in recognition of his work in former years. We journeyed to Roosevelt field for our first game and took the enemy into camp by an eight-to-six score. Jordan pitched well and the team performed very well for an inexperienced outfit. lt was the only game this season up to date that the team has hit well, in that we made thirteen clean hits. Soldan caught us asleep and overconfi- dent when they pushed over a run in the tenth inning of the first-round game and beat us by a five-to-four score. Again Jordan pitched a beautiful game, but errors in the infield beat him. Only two of Soldan's runs were cleanly earned on hits. Then we won from Central in a six-to- two game. Slater held .the opposition to four hits, three of which were clean bingles. Jordan held down first base in this game. Beaumont made eight hits, but one of which was of the scratch variety. Cleveland in the first round were con- siderably surprised when a green team held their heavy hitters to three runs in ten innings. Jordan, pitching, held the slug- gers to nine hits, which is a record that no other high school league pitcher has made so far this year. Beaumont in this game could manage to get but two runs, One Hundred Forty -seven sl J, W UUIEL NIIXIEL fm! xx! jaw X XX N4 Q, l ' 'iilr4' K X X im -r Xf 'I QFQE' rox . f ' '- ' 1-A.

' k.4f .f W, THE CADUCEUS both of which were earned on clean two- base hits by Jordan and Lautenschlager. It was in this first Cleveland game that the loss of Harkins was felt most. A mis- judged fly ball in left field was the break in the game which paved the way for two of Cleveland's scores. Harkins, the only letter man left from the 1926 team after Grant was taken away from us, sprained his ankle very seriously in the Webster Groves practice game and was out for three weeks. Just as he was ready to return to the team for the second Roosevelt game, his father died. It left a rather gloomy outlook for the team, as inexperienced left iielders had to be used again. In the only badly played game of the season up to the date of writing this mat- ter, the Beaumont ball club allowed Roosevelt to beat them by an eight-to-one score. The Roosevelt pitcher held our lads to one hit, a three-base clout by Slater in the ninth inning. Slater had in mind, when he broke up the no-hit game of Sauselle, to bolster up his hitting record. In case no other accident is met with, it is believed that with only three men leaving the club by graduation, the 1928 season should be a real winner for Beau- mont. Jordan, Lautenschlager, and Roller are seniors and of course will not return. Jimmie Brazil will also be lost to the team. For 1928 at least ten promising boys will present themselves to the coach at first call. Holtman is probably the best-look- ing of this set of men. With a year of experience, Holtman will be able to hit with the best high school ball players, and he is already a fair fielder. Carr, Fox, and Slater should form the nucleus of a wonderful infield in another year with the experience they have gained this year. Fox and Slater know the game and most of its fine points. Neither is a finished fielder, of course, but both will perform far better in 1928. Waring, an Qutfielder, and Hagerty, the 1927 catcher, will be great assets to the team another year. Both men were inex- perienced in 1927 and the school should be proud they have done so much this year. Both boys show much promise as hitters and likely will develop. Great ball playing can be expected in another year of such boys as Goodwin, Guhman, Weidener, and a few others. Goodwin is an excellent prospect for first base and pitching assignments. At the time this was written, the 1927 team had won two games and-lost three. In the five, but one game was what could be called a poor game. It has been a suc- cessful season in that players of real merit have been developed for another year.

Because of much rain beforehand the track was heavy, but even so, the times were fair, and .... we won! The score looked like the results of a bush league ball game, l62 to 66. The next meet was with Cleveland on April 22. Out of this also the team came victorious, score, 84 to 81. Only the track events took place: it was too cold for the Held events, and the Cleveland coach called the meet off.

For the season Barnhouse and Schneider were chosen by the team as joint captains. Barnhouse is a sprinter, and a shot- putter. As a Junior he created quite a sensation in his events, and now as a senior he has evidently acquired that extra stamina and push needed in the corre- spondingly higher section. We expect Mike to have a big part in what the team will accomplish. Schneider is in a peculiar position. This is his fourth year of track and he would be fully capable of making points in any senior events he might elect. But it hap- pens that he is still a Junior, and so we have a man so good he can be placed in almost any event that needs a man and be depended upon for winning it, He has not a full nelson on first place honors in the shot put and 440, and will probably select another track event, a dash. In the pole vault, Hockstadt, as for some time, reigns supreme. He holds jointly the Junior pole-vault record, and if he doesn't destroy the senior record this year, several hundreds of persons will faint with surprise. He fills out his total of points with fast and high stepping over the hurdles. Brandt, a letterman of last year, is a highly concentrated senior sprint man, continually struggling with Barnhouse for the tape-breaking. Davison, also a letterman of last year, is a lighting contender for honors in the 220-yard dash and the broad jump. Mulvihill, a veteran, takes the high hurdles like a greyhound, with ease, and also high-jumps gracefully. Zeuschal made his letter in the pole- vault last yeat, taking second place, and ought to repeat this year. This man must be watched. He also high-jumps. Beeman is a wonder-boy at the Senior 440 and 220, and is sure to pile up a stack of points for Beaumont in the big meet in May, and by the way, the wonderful thing DUCEUS about Beeman is the tremendous improve- ment he has shown over his previous sea- son. Cases like this are what make a real track team: the result of perseverance. Barnard, besides being speedy, has all the grim determination and will to train and the endurance to make a brilliant miler and will be our stand-by in the long grind. Orr is a new man in the high jump and wins his event consistently, which is a powerful recommendation in a round-up of probable points. Brown does the mile, and is becoming formidable, showing perseverance and promise in the event. Brazil heaves the twelve-pound shot, and because brawn is needed in this event and Jimmy has it, he ought to succeed. Walton broad-jumps, and runs the 440 dash. He has the aspect and form of the true sprinter type, and has a long time to develop these last to perfection. Boneau broad-jumps and is a fast dash man, making one more part of the prepon- derance of ability which seems to exist in the senior sprints. Behrman runs the 440. Garrett runs the mile. Mo-eller high-jumps and also hurdles. Kuny runs the high hurdles and pole vaults. Goren runs the 440. In the Juniors, besides Schneider, these men must be considered: Heideman, an exact and speedy hurdler, an excellent prospect for May 28. Heide- man is another example of tremendous improvement by persistence, going from but fair performance as a midget to won- derful work as a junior. Brunk, a new man, and a natural half- miler, with a perfect stride, consistently winning at the distance. Getlin, who keeps Brunk stepping in the half mile: these two make a formidable pair. Dietrichs, who also is a persevering half- miler. One Hundred Fifty-three . A179291-uf..

C A Widener, who never knocks the bar off early in the high jump, and gets up there to place. Murphy, a good high-jumper and sprinter. Heilman, a letterman from the midget ranks, hurdler and shot-putter. Frohart, an excellent 50-yard dash man. Menges and Simpson, both Juniors of promise, who put the 8-pound shot. Leber, in the junior dashes. Loane, in the hurdles and 440. Snell, a hurdler and sprinter. Nichols, a sprinter and our hope in the Junior broad jump. Rogers, in the 220 dash. Moncur, in the 440 dash. The Junior team has two nine-foot- pole-vaulters, Long, and Brandenburg. Nine feet is quite a marking in that diffi- cult event, the pole vault, and will count in any Junior meet. ln the midget division Langanke, elected captain, is an outstanding star, winning the 50 and 75, doing very well in the broad jump and high jump, and altogether one of the finest prospects seen in a long time. DUCEUS Others worthy of praise are Lederle, Powell, Meisel. Jackson, Greer, Beck, Deister, Solowyn, Simmons, Holland, and Draper. The meets sustained reputations of let- termen and uncovered several new men of clear promise. All out for track are enthu- siastic and are getting out of it something which really counts-a great deal of fun. This fun may seem doubtful to many stu- dents who might otherwise come out for track, and also, many students are prob- ably scared away by the phrase track team, thinking there issomething definite to make as in football, etc. Well, after a few days of individual training, and running, jumping, etc., for the pure pleasure of it, in the warm sun and Zephyr breezes, the average new man is an incurable addict to track, and as for the shying away from a beginning-this takes care of that. ln track every man enters into real competition with other schools. He gets all of the natural joy in competition, and in winning points to help his school. So everybody, from the green- est of the green to the veteran, has ' chance. All of the above state of affairs is sim- ply explained by the single word Apep.

ITU THE CADUCEUS MEDITATIVE MUSINGS By ANNABELLE WITTMANN lsn't it the truth That the student Who can get his lessons easily Takes home A five-foot stack of books Every night And worries to death Over his five weeks Exams. While the F-B student, Who can't get his lessons, And who wouldn't If he could, Takes home no Books at all. And why is it That the worst Student in art Always figures That his drawing Is the best And is quite peeved When the teacher Fails to give It special notice, While the good student Always just knows, That his drawing ls terrible. Yes, it is strange: Yet no stranger Than the primary reason Of some students ln attending A secondary school, And isn't it true, That the fellow Who has a profile Like a gorilla ls considered 'AToo lovely for words, By the fair damsels, Just because He has perfect dancing feet. And then- The sweet young thing, Who has figured To a hair's breadth One Hundred Sixty-two ' Just the proper level To raise her eyes To the nearest Romeo, Always flounders Dismally in class Over her Geometry. Think too Of the fellow Who is considered Half-bakedg And who After being on The Athletic field For a season Becomes very Well browned, And is, therefore, No longer considered Half-baked In feminine minds. And why is it- That a student Whose jaws can Wrestle joyfully With a wad Of gum Suddenly develops Lock-jaw When asked the Simplest question In class. And that when The teacher asks him For certain dates ln Early European History, He can Only remember An early date With a pair of Entrancingly blue eyes, Meditate, too, Upon the great hindrance That a large High school is To the poor Student Who traverses U Sis ff' .45 Av so K- if Pg AXAIQXQJE F51 . :ra 1 Qlw-2 f-Gil Q I D a s-ga IU , ' '9kL'tl,'95 - 1' yi- - ii? ef I I T0 - ati? ,fad-ff ft -331' , 'ea 2 ill A f - I U K THE CADUCEUS The halls and Classrooms All day Only to find That when night comes, He is too tired To bear The burden Of studying For the coming day. Then, You have heard Much-about l'The Open Door of China, And it is A very serious question, But not more so Than our problem In high school- This one of Open Windows - Some pupils Want the window Closed For fear Of catching cold, And others Prefer to have It open For the same reason. And here Is another Momentous problem To solve, This one of Empty Craniums. Consider the Poor teacher Who strives diligently To store his pupils With his knowledge And wisdom, Only to find In his old age That some Empty skulls Will always Remain A vacuum. Yes--these are riddles. And worthy Of a wise man's contemplation. And in truth A high school principal Must be a Solomon To solve them all. 1 1 1 THE CAREFREE CUR Funny little cur Comes to visit me: On his coat a burr, Frolicsome is he. Little tail that wags, Brown spot on his nose, At my heels he tags At my feet he'll doze. I-Ie's not pedigreed, Anywhere his home, Thanks you for the 'lfeed, Is off again to roam. Often wish that I Could be carefree, too: But 'twon't do to sigh, Roam I cannot do. I must stay right here, Study while I may, Though my thoughts, I fear- Are often far away. Some day I shall roam, Like this carefree cur, With no special home, And no clouds to blur My skies of happiness. Nor any thing to mar My wanderlust's success. 1 Y 1 SPRING FEVER Don't wanta' work, Don't wanta' play- Spring Fever. Just wanta' sit And dream all day Spring Fever. When all my thoughts Are far away. And all the world Is bright and gay, My diagnosis Is, I'd say, Spring Fever. One Hundred Sixty-three 1 1 cis' ' fg 16liJwJf1c will IC Of 3 xl 0 I X ' Fi:-'9 f ,r f 0 l l if li? HEI THE CADUCEUS One Hundred Sixty-four THE PROBLEM fWith Apologies to Poe.j By MARY SAWYER Once upon an evening dreary Whi'le I pondered weak ana' weary, Over many a stubborn problem Of the Algebraic lore: As I stood some rule repeating, From my brain I was entreating Imploring, begging and entreating For the answer just once more. Oh! distinctly I remember It was in the late September, From my presence each member Had departed through the door. How I longed for graduation Oh! to end this education, W'hile from my brow the perspiration Oozed, just oozed from every pore. Presently I eased my sorrow. Thought I upon the glad tomorrow From my friend this work I'll borrow. She had oft helped me before. Tho' it may not seem quite fair For my friend to be sitting there And doing all my work with ease: It's just this time and never more. As these thoughts in my head were It seems to me I was beginning To turn sad fancy to grinning, When upon my chamber door First there came a gentle tapping, Turning to a harder clapping, Changing to alnoisy clapping A great deal louder than before. When the door I opened wide, My tired friend stood at my side. Wearz'ly to me she cried , I have oft helped you before And since you have helped me rarely Let us now make things out fairly: Let us close the deal quite squarely I have come to get the problems, Just this time and never more. spinning H JR rib, 'UQ qvmjia Ugfwgwcnijl cw X frm'-vf4'l'fc 5i?EU11'-if Wt'-4635425 L' E 1 in 'Y X - -.5,4L:,Wq, 1: .H,,:!b.f, I 1 ' il l l it nr I!!

COOKIES, READ PART OF POEIVI, CANINE SURVIVES By WALTER NOVACK QW I-IAT'S that big cur following me around for,. anyway? a high school lad, just entering school, c asked his friend. 'AI-le's been fol- lowing me all the way from Grand Ave- nue. Maybe you have something that he wants, remarked his companion. I've only got a couple of cookies that I forgot to eat at lunch time yesterday. 'lGive 'em to him and we'll see what he does. It was a large black specimen of the canine family that had followed the boys to school. Receiving the erstwhile fresh cookies, he immediately swallowed them whole. Then, a look of blank amaze- ment passed over his face. 'iWhat makes my stomach hurt so? he wondered. :'Maybe, if I run, I can ease the pain. Suiting the action to the word, he set out at a run. All the way down the corridor he ran, not deviating one bit from his straight course. The students either had to get out of the way or take the conse- quences. When he came to the end of the corridor, he found no way to continue his running, and slowly made his way back to the boys, who by this time could not control their laughter. When the dog reached them, he seemingly was well-nigh exhausted. Whining and moaning, he lay down at their feet. One kind-hearted fellow, with a roll of papers under his arm, coaxed the poor dog to crawl to the bench at which he was seated. Unrolling his papers, the student proceeded to read one of the poems he had prepared for publication in the Caduceus, After the first few lines had been read, the black specimen arose, and with a howl of terror, immediately hurled itself from the building at a rate of speed which would have made Leon Duray jealous. He con- tinued this pace until he reached a nearby alley, some hundreed feet away, after which he was not seen again. , A I 121.1 1? .,-Em K 'IUECIIIQ -I L One Hundred Sixty-six l' rm A fsoddw and A MODERN IVIAFQINEF?
