By ALICE GEITZ .5 tg ERE we are.Seniors! After plow- rg ing through almost eight terms in the field of knowledge, we have finally come to the end of the furrow. As members of that distinguished body, we have begun to make plans most fitting to our dignity. Our first organized action was to choose the following esteemed members to serve in an ofiicial capacity for our class of June. '28. Leonard Haag, foreman, and Olga I-Iohengarten, his trusted assistant: Irene Christmann, the time-keeper: the most eco- nomical Richard Barthel, our financial ad- viser: Leavell Riddick, our legal repre- sentative to the local Congress: Marion Jostedt, Robert Kerr, and Herbert Buelt- mann, the executive committee. the femi- nine member being the chairman: and Alice Geitz, the writer of the deeds and misdeeds of our respected class. Having disposed of business matters, we made ready to make our debut into society. Our first social function, the Get-Together party, took place on March second, and here everyone learned everyone else's name, telephone number, and the like. Since it was necessary by this time to know what was expected of us, we con- vened again and chose our motto, which is Ambition, Integrity and Merit, the ini- tial letters of each spelling Aim. Then we had to have some colors to symbolize Thirty-two our ambitions and guide us along the straight and narrow path. As our guide- posts, we chose silver and sapphire, repre- senting courage and truth. Color Day, the occasion on which we were first presented to the school as a class, is past. Fond memories of this day, our first public appearance, will remain with us, as well as of our party with the New Seniors, the students to whom we will en- trust the honor of carrying on the tradi- tions we have tried to uphold during our four years at Beaumont. In the future, there comes Farewell Day. We are wondering whether it will be an occasion for weeping or exulting. When we were Freshmen, we naturally thought it would be one of gladness, but as this sad day looms near. we feel a sense of real fare- well to the school we love the best. We want to take this opportunity to express our gratification to Miss Quellmalz and Mr. Hall for their never-ceasing efforts in our behalf. These faculty members un- derstood and directed us through a most important part and a decisive time of our lives. We also wish to thank all the fac- ulty for their continued interest in all of us. We have our future before us. As we go from Beaumont into Wider fields of activity, each in his own sphere, may we aim in all we do to carry out the principles of Ambition, Integrity and Merit. . 9b' ,1 If u,Q f- M ,J Aug. flfhv ji iskaflxc gS'c'l4ii3?'-4'i5,S K' saga fr Q N I dl EWU !!

Why, don't 'you know? We are the New Seniors! For three years we have felt more or less neglected, but when the never-to-be-forgotten day in March arrived we were happily organized, and recognized. How proud we felt! The election of our class officers took nearly all afternoon because those big, overgrown New Senior boys couldn't make up their minds as to which girl they Wanted for president since all the girls in our class are very beautiful, especially the red-heads. blonds, and brunettes. Mr. Fuller settled the argument by saying the presidential oiiice was open to boys only. Here is the result of the election. President .......,......,....,.....,....

D e l phia Schneider Caduceus Correspondent .... Dan Hochstadt Our first social event, which we antici- pated with pleasure, was our get-together party. The boys had a glorious time dancing and getting acquainted with those Winsome young ladies, not saying how the girls felt after their new shoes had been stepped on. But everyone enjoyed himself, especially when refreshments were served in the lunch room, which concluded our party. . On Color Day we formed the back- ground for the Seniors, and in an intimate way, shared their honors. Beneath arches entwined with their class colors the Seniors marched proudly down the aisle, flanked on either side by the New Seniors. While this day will always be remembered by the Seniors, it also hada special significance for us, in that it brought before us, in our mind's eye, our own Color Day, which is not far distant. Do you know that our New Senior Class has the distinction of having' more boys than girls? This proves that the boys of our class are very good students, and we expect them to gain unprecedented glory. Watch our New Senior Class ac- complish things! i.. .. :res.,3f,,':. .-f 'w Bill! 0111 Thirty-five Thirty-six L N .S If J F ' I :NAL . 1 T M45-1' Waaidgiffqfpva Nga T I-I E C A DUCEUS VICTORY! By ROSELLA Door HREE cheers, the battle is o'er! ,kifsg Emerging from the held are the victors and the vanquished, one A ' T with a smile of success, the other with the look of disappointment. To the victors go the spoils! In Greece, the victor received the laurel. In Rome, the victor- ious army received the booty and plunder of the conquered. Today, the trophy of the athlete is the silver cup. So, on that memorable night of March 10, 1928, did Beaumont return victorious with the city championship basketball trophy, a prize sought for with the keenest effort by many entrants. Students of Beaumont should be doubly proud since this team, which for the last time has played together as representatives of Beau- mont High School, not only won for us this trophy, but also brought to Beaumont its first athletic honors. Most encouraging, however, is the enthusiastic support given to the team by the school. All those who were present at the two games that decided the champion- ship must have noticed the large attendance of Beaumont students. Such enthusiasm and interest inspires the team to victory. On March 12, 1928, the school assembled in the auditorium to pay due honor to the victorious boys, and to wit- ness the presentation of the trophy to the school. The auditorium was crowded with enthusiastic students who-eagerly awaited the coming of the team. just as a city awaits the homecoming of its heroes of war. It could easily be seen that the celebration was an event to which everyone had been looking forward. The subject of conver- sation was the same in all parts of the audi- torium-the team's victory and the trophy that they had won. The excitement was intense. Finally the noise subsided and the .-as orchestra began to play. There was a moment of tense silence as the team entered, headed by Captain Rost,,who bore the treasured trophy, shrouded in a white cloth and tied with blue and gold ribbons. Then the students, as though unable to restrain their enthusiasm any longer, gave spon- taneous cheering. After Captain Rost pre- sented the trophy to the school, there fol- lowed more cheering. The trophy, unlike any that we have ever been awarded, is a silver basketball resting upon a' silver stand. Today it is placed in our trophy case to be viewed and admired by all Beaumont students now and hereafter. ' After Mr. Fuller's acceptance of the trophy, letters were presented first to the five regulars in the order of the number of points received by each. The members of the team were Rost, Steideman, Holtman. Maysack, and Weidner. The other three who received letters were Brown, Ens, and Barnhouse. Each one of these was cheered as he received his letter. Captain Rost, in declining to take the ball that was used in the tournament, has set an example of unseliishness and love for his school which we hope will be remem- bered by future captains of Beaumont. As a climax of the session, Coach Lewis, after numerous spontaneous demands by the students, spoke in behalf of the team, thanking the school for its loyal support and promising that the boys would strive with continued effort at Columbia. Beaumont is proud of the trophy and the honor that accompanies it, but the greatest joy is felt in the unselfish and loyal attitude of the team, whether they were victors or losers, and in the response given to them by the student body.

Others render service that is not so obvious, but, nevertheless, affects a great many people. Their reward is the satis- faction they receive in serving others. In Beaumont we have a custodian sys- tem that not only equals but, we believe, even surpasses that of any other high school in efficiency and service. Sometimes, when we consider the magnitude of the school and its efliciency in all respects, we uninten- tionally subordinate or overlook the source of this excellence. How unnatural it would seem to us to enter the school in the morn- ing and find halls strewn with paper, see dirty windows, dusty' chairs, and unclean towels! Because such conditions do not prevail we forget the labor and work of our faithful custodians, whose uppermost con- cerns are for the sanitation ofour school. There are twenty custodians in the school, seventeen men and three women. Each has his particular part of the building to care for and his definite duties to per- form. There are live on the ground and Hrst floors, four on the second and third floors, and one on the fourth. Besides these we have a head custodian whose duties are not limited to one particular part of the building. The following are the names of the various custodians and the floors on which they work: Mr. Walsh ...... Mr. Stock .,.. .. Nlr. Stewart .... .. Mr. Anderson Mr. Vossbrink ..... ..,. Mr. Jessen ......... .,... Miss Plagstert Mr. Lackler .......... ...... Miss Linnemeyer ......,... Mr. Homann ...Third floor ...Third floor ...Third fioor ..

For instance, Mr. Anderson states that when he was younger he was a sailor and traveled all around the world. What an interesting entertainer he would make telling us of his experiences in differ- ent countries! He was a custodian at Soldan High School for twelve years, he re- lates, and has been at Beaumont since its opening. We have another custodian in the school who at present is seventy-three years old. Mr. Rogers has been in the service thirty-five years, a remarkable record for a custodian, and is still rendering efh- cient service to the school. g . One of the characteristics that has dis- tinguished our custodians from all others is their willingness to serve at all times. They are never idle one minute of the day. In the morning. after the halls have been cleared, they use the vacuum sweeper, a device that has only recently been employed in schools, to clean the floors. During the day they have various duties to perform: the cleaning of windows, cleaning of lab- oratory rooms, and the carrying of equip- ment from one place to another. In the Thirty-nine K. 5194 ff: 13 A fl' e x 'K-4 fp' .- c :Q y l QE-Q THE CADUCEUS evening the rooms are cleaned, the refuse taken away, and the furniture dusted. At the beginning of the term the cus- todians carry the books from the book room to the teachers. Such service is not given in all high schools in the city. Then. during the various athletic tournaments, the custodians carry the equipment to the Held. Imagine the time that would be lost if the boys had to do this themselves! It is almost impossible to enumerate all the ways in which our custodians have served us at all times. Students should ap- preciate their untiring efforts and feel proud to have such an eficient corps of custodians who are always willing and capable to serve.

U S A GLIMPSE OF PICTURESQUE CHINA By DORIS SMITH QMaterial given by Thomas Callj I-IARQURACK., one of the many zmjyjlgf small villages in southern China, is not far from the main seaport, -' of which is the large city of Canton. Here about two hundred small cottages or farmhouses, which are made of either brick or stone, constitute the main part of the village. The farms of the villages may comprise the adjoining territory or they may be very far away, but at a very early hour one may see the men of each farm- house journeying along the main road to their respective farms on foot. If it is the season when the rice is fully ripe, they take their scythes with them, for this is the main implement used in cutting it. When the rice has all been cut, the workers in each field shock and carry it to the rice-yard behind the cottage. It is then placed in even rows and lightly pounded with a war-parm, an implement which loosens the grain from the stalks. At last the women place it into a small Wooden hand-mill which separates the rice from the husk. After a thorough washing and drying, it is ready to be cooked and the hoin, or husks, are burned for fuel. The farmhouse is an oblong building of never more than one story. When one en- ters by the gate or door into a sort of court- yard he sees there rows of Chinese lilies all arranged in attractive circles. Near the front is a parlor. Where the family receive the guests and take their meals. They eat at a short table, hidden, when not in use, under a cheun-toi , a long table, which is the most spectacular article in the cottage. Over it some sacred picture or their most prized possession is hung-incense may be burned over it. Next to the parlor there is a room which resembles a library, and there the children play, read, and study. On toward the back are the bed rooms. and, lastly, the kitchen. In one corner of it is a deep Well, from which the family supply of water is drawn. Every cottage is built in almost exactly the same way: there is very little variation. As time goes by, the villagers still retain the same cus- toms of their forefathers, whom they still devoutly worship. If a family has one or more daughters of about sixteen or seven- teen years of age the parents are never sur- prised to receive a visit from a match-maker or may-you , a man hired by the mother of the Chinese boy to serve as a messenger, or, as the name implies, to help bring about the marriage. The match-maker makes known his errand and if the description he gives of the boy makes a favorable im- pression on the girl's mother, she gives him a red paper, red standing for happiness, on which are recorded the girl's birth-the day, hour, and year-her father's business, and especially all the facts pertaining to the mother's character. The paper is always ready beforehand and can be written by anyone, perhaps the school teacher. The match-maker carries this paper to the boy's mother and then she takes it to a fortune teller. I-Ie looks at the day and hour of piece of paper and tells the birth on the the mother what the future holds for the bad future, the making girl. If it is a of the match is discontinued. If, however, the future holds much that is good in store for the girl, the mother accepts her and sends the match-maker to the girl's mother to' find out how many cakes she will be satisfied with: the mothers usually give about two thousand large and small ones. Then the mothers compromise on a good- will gift, which is generally a sum of about one hundred dollars. But before the en- gagement is announced the health and char- acter of both mothers are carefully investi- gated. If nothing is found that will prevent the marriage, the boy's mother fixes Forty-three VI 'V Knife V' iW'ftmf'93'g5- sb ' Aamir-efvkiif Qui'-' m?.swi'si?-avflga. lil H T HEI THE CADUCEUS the date of the announcement of the en- gagement and then she sends one-half of the cakes to the girl's mother, who has a dinner at which she announces the en- gagement of her daughter and to which she invites her friends and relatives. She dis- tributes the cakes among the neighbor- hood, thus announcing the engagement to the neighbors. The boy's mother also has a dinner at which she announces her sonfs engagement. Soon after this the mother of the boy sends a piece of paper to the mother of the girl, on which is the date of the marriage. Then the preparation for the marriage fol- lows. The mother always gives three beautiful comforters with her daughter, which must always correspond to the season-silk and satin for the warm sea- sons, and wool and heavy materials for winter. She also gives about one hundred articles of clothing, which are supposed to be enough to last for the four seasons after the marriage. The daughter is dressed in the most beautiful of silks and satins and is magnificently taken to the bridegroom's home in a special, elaborate sedan-chair, the is carried by four people. guze , which Perhaps in the guze with the bride there may be a lotus, that sacred and mysterious flower which is so close to the hearts of the people of the Orient and which symbolizes lofty thought and moral purity.

In some ways, I I found, our American public schools resemble those of Italy and in an- other way they are quite different. The public school buildings in Italy appear much the same as we see them in America, but there is one radical difference: that is, the girls are placed in one building and boys in another. Both boys and girls are compelled to wear uniforms, the boys' uniform consist- ing of a sweater and a cap, colored accord- ing to the respective class colors. The sweater has a buttoned collar, which in winter covers the neck, and in summer is worn unbuttoned. The cap, which re- sembles an American police cap, is the same color as the sweater. The girls' uniform consists of a skirt and a simple blouse. The skirt is colored blue and the blouse white or any color that the class choose. All girls wear low-heeled shoes. Each classroom has a leader, who is seated on a raised platform beside the teacher. His duties are to keep the class progressing, while the teacher is busy with some other matter, and he has charge of the entire class. The leader is distinguished from the rest of the pupils by a gold stripe on his cap. It is considered an honor to be elected a leader. A corporal or a subordi- nate leader is seated at the end of each row. He is distinguished from the rest of the class by a red stripe on his cap. His duties are to see that his row is kept quiet and that it does what it should do. The other members of the class wear a black stripe on their cap. All the teachers are men, except in the lower grades. The school day is from eight in the morning to two-thirty in the afternoon. There is no school on Thursday, but there is school on Saturday. During spring and summer seasons the Saturday school-day is used for a hike of several miles. When the classes arrive at their destination the teacher gives a lecture on botany. The books are not free, as here in St. Louis, but are bought by the students. The books are paper-bound, but those who can afford it may have them bound in card- board or leather. Pupils furnish their own school supplies except ink. If one cannot afford to purchase his own books, the city furnishes them. Examinations are given every three months. To be promoted, a student must write a satisfactory examination covering a complete year's work. If occasionally a student is found who is not capable of going forward. a chance is given to the student to make up the work and take a preparatory examination at the opening of school in September. An Italian elementary school consists of six grades. The promotion is annual. A student cannot stop going to school until he has completed the six grades. If one is intending to continue in school after he has completed four grades he is given the privi- lege of taking an examination given by the school director and Board of Commission- ers. This examination is called Esame di Maturita. Passing this allows one to go on to a higher institution. After grad- uating from the elementary school, one has four branches of high school from which to choose. The discipline in the Italian schools is very strict, which I think is the chief differ- ence between the Italian and the American schools. No one is allowed to talk to any fellow student in a classroom. If one did, the corporal would give him a zero on the subject of that particular period.

The desire to be la h arts. 1 -4 H merry and to feast reigns in thelr Cheers and shouts are heard from the enthusiastic crowd at the Tivoli to greet Cavadonga. The Tivoli is a large amuse- ment place very similar to our Forest Park Highlands, merely an outdoor building where the majority of the fiestas are held. QThe Tivoli is usually located in the heart of a large park.j Bright colors glittering everywhere catch the intruder's eye first. Soft peals of music are heard from a dis- tance, especially the guitars, which are the most common of the Spanish instruments. A group of gay sefioritas, dressed in their native costumes, are seen in the center of the floor waving castanets or tambourines rhythmically in the air to the rhythm of Spain's typical dance, the jota. Long. graceful pillars supporting the structure, picturesquely adorned with flowers of every color and sort, add beauty to the place. At the end of the little gay number the dancers disappear Within. The spectators are now seen on the floor. Their dress is very different from what the average person of the United States sup- poses, they dress as any young lady or gentleman of America does, except only for the Spanish mantilla and shawl, which have always been worn for a wrap on such occasions as this. They dance the old- fashioned steps, such as the waltz. Jazz is merely a name to them. Persons who can play jazzy tunes are very rare in Spain. Most of the instruments are stringed. A saxophone is seldom seen here, but they are always trying to imitate the modern Happer and sheik. They do not, however, succeed very well. In the afternoon, after sleeping the siesta. Forty-six most of the people go to the bull light, which is really very interesting and thrill- ing. Four of the most beautiful seioritas are chosen to be queens at the bull fight. They are dressed lavishly in their typical attire and ride in four beautiful carriages drawn by gallant White horses. There is a large parade around the arena to the accompaniment of entrancing music. The toreadors are dressed in gold and silver suits, and have rose colored cloths with which to tease the bulls. The picadors are mounted on horses and are also dressed very beautifully. parade everyone leaves the the toreadors. A gate is After the arena except opened and a furious bull rushes out. He has not been fed for several days, so that he is eager to destroy anything in his path. Many brave acts are noW.performed. In the middle of the arena a small pedestal is placed, on which a man all in white stands as iirm as a statue to face the furious animal. The bull, thinking him a statue, passes him in ignorance, but should this supposed statue move in the least, the bull will take notice and the man's life is in peril. This man is known as The Statue of Don Tancredo. The bull now passes on to the toreadors, who tease him with red Capes and small swords. Then, if the toreador is clever, he will receive the long sword from the matador and plunge it into the heart of the beast. The four queens that have previously been mentioned, now appear on the held. They reward the winning toreadors with prizes consisting of a sum of money and a large bouquet of flowers. Thus the fiesta is brought to a close. Cavadonga as well as other Spanish holidays are spent in this fashion. Natur- ally there are other ways, but this is the most common and ideal. J '45 ff' iffy!

DUB1s ll F we should go to Athens this sum- mer for our vacation, I am sure We should have a delightful time, L f for although I have been away from there for almost seven years, I think I should enjoy seeing Athens more now than I did then. For then I was too young to know much about the ancient monumental surroundings of the city: I looked at them as a lot of insignificant de- stroyed buildings, but just when I was beginning to learn of their importance, my father decided to come to America! Well, here we are, studying at Beau- mont. June is very near, and we shall go to Athens, The Eye of Greece, Mother of Arts and Eloquence. To reach Athens we shall have to ride a variety of passenger conveyances. In New York we board our steamship which starts immediately, sail- ing serenely across the Atlantic. We pass on through the Strait of Gibraltar and are in the Mediterranean, Italy is soon reached. We then pass through the Straits of Messina and across the Ionian Sea to Phaleron Bay. Pour miles in the dis- tance, among the pleasant hills of the Attic plain, lies the capital of ancient and modern Greece and, rising in the midst of the city, its crown of white marble ruins glistening in the sunlight, the great Acropolis domi- nates the scene. A range of hills goes through the city from east to west, the highest being Lycabettos, which is sepa- rated by a broad depression from the preci- pitous rock of the Acropolis. All this we see from the ship: but suddenly the boat is stopped and we behold the splendors that we have read about. We feel the glory of that historical city, which was ruled by such men as Themistocles and Pericles. Athens is important especially for its beautiful architecture, sculpture, art, and literature. We think of all the great men, including Demosthenes, Socrates, Sophocles, and Euripedes, that have lived in this city. The Acropolis, being on a hill, is ever before us: its magnificent architecture, which we rnoderns can but feebly imitate, glistening in the sunlight, impress us, and we become impatient to go and see the city. First, at the foot of the Acropolis, we see the temple of Zeus. Then, as we proceed upward, where we see the beautiful Erechtheum with its lovely Portico of Maidens and, in the foreground, broken columns of the Parthenon, the temple of Athena Parthenos, We remember that this ancient as well as modern city would still be standing in its ancient beauty if war, that detestable invention of humanity, had not demolished them. But even now they stand in ruin, looking at heaven majestic- ally, typefying ancient civilization and cul- ture so that the visitor is moved with a wonder that he can never forget. Athens has also some modern structures which are of interest to the visitor. The National Archeological Museum, erected in 1866, is one place of interest. The By- zantium Museum is another structure very interesting to the visitor. It was erected in 1914. There are many other places of interest, including the Museum of the His- torical and Ethnological Society of Greece, the University of Athens, and the Academy. Statutes are very numerous along the avenues. One frequently sees a statue of Achilles, Hermes, Apollo, Soc- rates, Demosthenes, Athena, and many of the other modern and ancient Greek heroes and gods. From our histories We get the idea that Athens is nothing but ruins. But instead it is a modern, progressive city. While there, we see all of the automobiles so familiar to us and many new kinds of Italian cars, like the Fayette.

And as she rocked. she crooned quaint old A lullabies that perhaps mothers along the Rhine had crooned to their chil- dren many years ago. But occasionally her voice broke, as she tried vainly to suppress a pitiful little sob and then clasped the child more closely, as though afraid it might be taken away. Her song stopped. She listened. Yes, someone was ascending the creaking old stairs, someone whose footstep was heavy and dragging as it approached the landing. K She laid the child in the basket that was its bed, and hur- riedly lit an oil lamp. The door opened, and a tall, powerfully built man entered. His eyes rested for a moment on the woman. Then, slumping. into a chair, he covered his face with his. hands, groaning, It is no use, Frieda. He must go. I have walked all day-to factories-everywhere -but there is no work. ' For a while, the woman stood silently. and'by the flickering light of the oil lamp. her 7fa'tfe seemed to age, and her slender form toi droop. Was it only yesterday she had been the happy young bride of Peter Schultz, sailing from the Fatherland with her beloved Peter-sailing to America and the Unknown-or was it a thousand years ago? In those days there had been no fear for the future, Joyously she and Peter had faced life in the Land of Promise, but now he was saying, No work. No. work. How often she had heard those words. Truly New York had been cruel. Come now, my Frieda. It was Peter. making a valiant effort to cheer her. Is it not kind of Aunt Hildegarde to take our boy? She is even paying his passage. He looked down upon the sleeping child. tears glistening in his own eyes, as he murmured, It is better so. X. ' Forty-eight Yes, Frieda echoed his words: it is better so: Aunt Hildegarde will give him advantages that we can never give him. She will be good to him. We must not be seliishf' They were not selfish. One morning a month later, they stood on the pier, watch- ing a ship slowly drawing away: and aboard it was their baby. Little Carl had been entrusted to a nurse, sent by Aunt Hildegarde to bring her nephew safely across the ocean. The nurse had borne a letter from the distant aunt, reading, in part, as follows: My dear Brother and Sister-in-law: The nurse I am sending to care for Carl on the voyage is a very good and capable woman. You need not fear to entrust your baby to her. I want to assure you, my dears, that your boy will have every attention and advantage that I can give him, but I want no misunderstanding on your part. I shall legally adopt the child, and I shall bring him up in the belief that I am his mother. As long as I live, he must not know of your existence. In the months that followed the baby's departure, Peter and Frieda came face to face with poverty in all its sordid aspects. Frieda took in sewing, but her needlecraft brought little: and always Peter searched for work. At last his efforts were re- warded. He found employment at a steel foundry, and he and Frieda moved to the little settlement where the employees and their families lived. The group of tiny cottages that sprawled in the shadow of the great plant presented an appearance anything but attractive. The air was filled with the clang and clatter of the foundry, and with the smoke from its towering smoke-stacks. But Frieda and Peter didn't care, The rent was absurdly low, and A t ' - H . W -fr 'N- , G .. V g i n, TD f 5:5 -sg- J in 'QA N J Wiggle: Tl-IECADUCEUS with the characteristic thrift of their race. they wished to save for the time when old age should overtake them. Peter was made foreman, with a subsequent increase of salary, and they forgot, in a measure, the hardships of the past. Sixteen years passed. Peter was one of the foundry's best paid laborers. His blond curly hair was beginning to turn to silver, and his great hands were hardened and rough from long toil. Then there came a day when Frieda no longer sang as she worked about the house. Peter, coming home from work, to find her sitting on the porch, gazing listlessly into space. noticed how pale she looked. Clearly some- thing was wrong. A doctor was called. She will not live long in these surround- ings, he told Peter. She should be taken away from all this smoke and grime4to the country if possible. Then, seeing Peter's look of mingled despair and bewil- derment, he added. Why not buy a small farm? Real estate has been going down lately, and you should be able to get a little place fairly cheap. Your wife must be taken away from here. Thus it was that Peter drew out all the money he had in the bank, gave up his job at the foundry, and bought a small farm, not too far from the city. In the three years that followed. Frieda regained her health, and they found a precious content- ment that they had never known since their arrival in America. Neither spoke of the one thing they both longed for to make their happiness complete, but sometimes. in the evening when the stars were coming out, and the dusk was filled with the drowsy hum of insects, Peter heard Frieda softly singing snatches of old German lullabies. One evening Frieda stood in the door- Way watching Peter slowly walk toward the house. With a pang, she saw how worn out he looked, and how his shoulders drooped. Peter, dear, she said when he had sunk wearily into the rocking chair on the porch, you need a helper. I can't stand seeing you wear yourself out doing everything. Don't you think you could afford to pay a man a small salary and give him food and lodging? Many men out of work would be thankful for the position. At first he wouldn't hear of it. saying laughingly, Does my Frieda think I am an infant that I can not longer do all the farm work? but finally he consented. An advertisement in the 'Herald' should bring someone, he reflected. The next day he telephoned his advertisement to the city newspaper, from the home of his nearest neighbor. Two days passed, but no appli- cant for the position appeared. On the morning of the third day, Frieda was weeding the small flower garden near the house, when she saw a man approach- ing. Good morning, he said pleasantly. May I speak to Mr. Schultz? My husband is near, she replied. I'll call him. While she waited for Peter, she studied the stranger. He will make a good farm hand, she thought, eyeing him critically. He looks strong and capable. When Peter came, the man introduced himself as John Rollins, and explained that he had come in answer to the advertise- ment. Peter and the man soon came to agreeable terms and thenceforth, in John, the man and his Wife had not only a use- ful and willing helper but a likable com- panion. A few days after the arrival of the new farmhand, Peter went to the neighboring farm to consult the owner about a new kind of vegetable seed. He left shortly after supper. For a long time after his de- parture Frieda and John sat on the porch, talking. but as it grew later, Frieda began to wonder what was detaining Peter. John said he was probably chatting with his neighbor, But he'd better hurry, he observed, or he'll be caught in the rain. As he spoke, a flash of lightning zigzagged its way across the sky. ,The wind was rising, and in a few moments large drops of rain fell, pattering on the leaves. This was but the prelude to a terrific storm. In Forty-nine l l i t, THE CADUCEUS E' half an hour, the wind was bending the trees and howling like a malevolent spirit. The rain fell in blinding sheets, and thun- der seemed to rock the world. John and Frieda had retreated into the house. At each roar of thunder, the woman shuddered, groaning, Oh, I hope he isn't out in this. I hope he hasn't started home yet. Even John became agitated at Peter's prolonged absence. At last he said, He may be lost. I'm going to iind him. Frieda's anxiety for her husband made her heedless of John's peril, but so grateful was she that her thanks were almost incoherent. Frieda was left to the horrors produced by her imagi- nation. An hour passed and neither Peter nor John returned. The woman became frantic. Out there in the storm and black- ness was her husband. Perhaps he was lost. Perhaps he was hurt! But John would find him and bring him back-he must! The latch at the door rattled. She fairly flew to open it, and in stumbled John, half dragging, half carrying Peter. For a moment she couldn't speak, but John, understanding her unspoken ques- tion said, No, he's not dead. He was lost, and he's weak from some sort of blow. Together they helped Peter to the couch. His head was cut. John forced some brandy between his lips, while Frieda bathed his head. She noticed John as he bent over her husband. His solicitude touched her. Peter was reviving. I-Ie will be all right in a few minutes, John remarked. Indeed, Peter was more than all right. His face fairly beamed when Fifty he beheld John, and grasping the man's hand, he uttered a single German exclama- tion of joy. Tell me what happened, Frieda urged. Yes, Peter agreed, I must tell You. I was on my way home when the storm came. The wind blowing the rain blinded me, and I lost my way. I fell and hurt my head, and as I lay wondering if I should ever feel strong enough to get back home, I heard someone calling me. It was he, he indicated John, and Frieda, what do you think he was calling? Was it 'Peter?' No! Was it 'Mr. Schultz?' No-he was calling 'Fatherl Fatherl' Frieda looked at John as though she had never seen him before, but a mist covered her eyes as she groped for her son. Oh, we have been blind! she cried again and again. After almost twenty years-my own boyz but her son, clasping her in his arms, was explaining. Mother dear, Aunt Hildegarde died not long ago, but before she died, she told me she was not my mother. I came to Amer- ica to find you and Father. When I saw the advertisement in the paper, bearing the name Peter Schultz, I came under an as- sumed name. I wanted to get acquainted with my parents. Each day I said, 'To- morrow I will tell them,' but now it doesnft matter. Nothing matters, Mother mine. The thunder rumbled very faintly in the distance, and the air was filled with the smell of wet leaves and grass-an earthy smell. The rain had ceased and the wind was still. The storm had passed. 11 g i?V'Sw1lc c jg j.f5'-Wu-R i Til El l A T H E C A D U C E U s THE LIGHTED LAMP OF I-IO TAU Bye MARGARET KAMP P1 IMEHOUSE, on the waterfront, is London's Asia.

Ho Tau stood at the window of his den which commanded a view of Chang Street. Watching, as.he had watched more than once, he saw the dark drapes of a window across the street pulled roughly aside and a scarlet form appear. It was Anna, or Annie, as the sailors said. Ho pulled aside his drape and nodded. She saw him, shrugged, and let the curtain fall. Such was the romance of Ho Tau. That evening Hong See came up the alley and tapped at the little pane of black glass that Ho found so useful. Ho did not answer. After a pause there came an- other tap. Ho was relieved. One tap would have meant something that Ho was not quite prepared for now, but two meant safety. He opened the door and Hong See shuffled in. He went, without greeting, up the narrow stairs, but instead of pro- ceeding to the den and the sweet oblivion of opium as Ho had expected, he turned to the little room at the right, that served as a bedroom and kitchen, and parlor if necessary.

So, as he sits atop the white stone wall, in this brief moment of leisure fwhich comes not often, for a jester's Work is the hardest of allj, with his back propped up against the trunk of a massive oak growing beside the wall and one green-encased leg hanging down and swaying slightly to the drowsy music of the rustling oak leaves-as he sits there thus, being a fool, he stares away thru half closed eyes and sees not the green- velvet expanse of terraces, crimson- splotched by the occasional vividly bloom- ing rose-bush, beset with graceful and venerable trees, the whole rolling away to the romantic, turreted bulk of a castle looming black against the blue, blue sum- mer sky. No, he does not see this, but rather stares away into the cottony depths of that lone cloud, as if he perceives within it things far more interesting than those of this world. What is it that the fool sees? Look! As tho' from out the cloud comes a dream-knight, astride a gleaming black war-steed whose sable mane and sable tail stream in the wind, whose polished hooves flash brightly in the bright sun: and the knight himself is clad cap-a-pie in steel that gleams and glitters and flashes silver, while from atop his helmet a single red plume sways dizzily and from his be- jewelled baldric depends a mighty sword, sheathed. Who is this? Why, it is Sir Fool! No king's jester he, but Sir Fool of the King's court, bravest and strongest and greatest of all knights. And where does he go now, riding so gallantly down the slope? Why, what should a true and loyal knight of the court be doing these stirring days but question- ing for Milady Rosalind's diamond dragon? The diamond dragon, you know, of course, was made for the fair Rosalind by the craftsmen of her father's castle when she came to be lady-in-waiting to Her Ma- jesty, the Queen. It is of white, scintillat- ing diamonds, set with gold, and modelled after those monstrous sea-beasts who dwell far out in the ocean beyond where man can sail. But someone, somehow, has stolen beau- tiful Rosalind's diamond dragon, most precious and lovely of jewels. Rumor has it that the thief is a certain blood-enemy of Rosalind's father, and Rumor whispers that he will soon be back again-to steal Rosalind! And so the paramount desire of the King's knights is to regain Lady Rosalind's diamond dragon over the dead body of the thief, thus winning high favor in the eyes of Rosalind. And which of all the knights Csingle, of coursej does not de- sire to stand high with Lady Rosalind? So Sir Fool urges his horse to gallop as he goes down the slope and approaches the fringe of a gloomy forest, into which it is reported the thief and his companions have but recently gone. Now he rides from the sunshine into the shadow of the outermost trees, and stops. Look, he peers intently at the ground and -do you see it? That daisy that rears so proudly above the lowly grass-it is red with blood ! Sir Fool stares at the daisy and then he sees that from it there leads a little trail of ruddy drops of blood into the gloomy mystery of forest. Carefully, searchingly he scrutinizes the blackness into which the shaded aisles, the gnarled trunks, the inter- woven boughs melt. in search of hidden foes lurking there, waiting to kill. He sees no one, nothing, to excite his suspicions save the trickling line of blood leading into Fifty-three T'l-IECADUCEUS the dark forest. So, clanging shut his visor and laying one gauntleted hand upon the hilt of his sword, he starts his horse slowly towards the woods, along the trail of blood-drops. Now he reaches the first line of trees: now he passes under the sinuous, overarching boughs: now he is lost in the gloom of the forest. It is very dark in the forest, and very quiet, as Sir Fool dis- mounts to follow the trail of red down the shaded woodland aisles. Hush! He pauses beside the black hulk of a great tree and stares long and intently into the shapeless blur of bushes growing beside it. For the trail of blood-drops leads into these bushes. Slowly, slowly, slowly, Sir Fool draws forth his good sword, and it gleams a streak of white in all the blackness of the forest. And then- Out, villain! A man, armour-clad. rears out of the bushes and sways weakly. He seems about to plead for his life to Sir Fool, but in- stead he shouts loudly, At him! From behind Sir Pool spring forth three men, Who fall upon him with slashing swords. It is the thief and his companions who, fearing the strength of the renowned Sir Fool, have thus entrapped him. But Sir Fool, victor in a thousand desperate fights. somehow evades the first blows of falling swords and kills at a stroke the man in front of him. Then the three are at him again. Furious and terrible is the grim death-battle: the woods ring with the cries of men and the clangor of clashing swords: the whirling blades flash in the darkness. And then all is quiet. Sir Fool, victor in a thousand-and-one desperate lights, mounts his war-steed and, his armour flashing in the bright sun and his red plume streaming in the wind, gal- lops away with the diamond dragon to- wards Milady Rosalind and triumph! Triumph! As he gives her the diamond dragon, she looks into his grave eyes and speaks softly,- I-Iast seen Sir Harold? Alas! the words bring all the air-castles tottering and tumbling and fading away, for it is the real Lady Rosalind Cas fair as any dreamgirlj who speaks to the king's fool. Sir Harold, you say? Even so. He has come with my diamond dragon and I must needs thank him- And Lady Rosalind is gone, without Waiting for a reply. But the fool sits awhile on the wall, staring into the cloud. Then, sighing ever so lightly, he drops to the grass and trips away, whistling merrily to show how light-hearted and carefree he is-as is only proper for a king's fool.

So, by a sort of irresistible fascination, his gaze wandered back into the schoolroom. over the blank sheet of paper on his desk. and to the grim and awful expanse of blackboard. There, in white chalk against the black, was written that searching query which caused Robert's despair. Why, demanded those words upon the blackboard, Why did you like Mr. Ploof's speech at the auditorium session yesterday? Robert sighed heavily. To tell the truth, he hadn't liked Mr. Ploof's speech at all and couldn't conceive of a sensible reason why anyone else should have. But to put that on his paper would have been nothing short of educational suicide, and Robert had a special reason for not want- ing any more zeros inscribed opposite his name in the teacher's record book. For in some manner Cequallv surprising to the teacher and to himj Robert had managed to come through the first seventeen weeks of the term with an average of just about eighty, so that if he kept his head above water for a few more English recitations he would be exempt from the final examina- tion. For reasons which will be obvious to the average student, Robert had no par- ticular desire to take that Hnal: therefore. he did have a desire to keep from getting zeros. So Robert continued his quest for in- spiration. After studying the blackboard for some time, he stole a glance at the clock on the wall, which by sad experience he had ascertained to be the slowest in the world. But the clock gave him no con- solation Cschool clocks seldom doj and he turned his attention from it to the picture adorning the front of the room. Necessity is the mother of invention, and in Robert's case the invention was an idea. ahbright idea. That picture on the wall was somebody's impression of a scene at sea. The sea suggested to Robert a flood, and the flood suggested-. Robert scraped his pen around vigor- ously on the bottom of the inkwell, to prove to anyone who happened to be watching him that it was empty. Then he placed the inkwell from the vacant desk opposite him, on his own desk, just at the Fifty-fiue L J f as .fn Nha X., V fthe: jqlx 1L ffl! l Tl-IECADUCEUS head of his blank sheet of paper. If that well should be accidentally upset, it would precipitate a black flood of ink over the intelligent sentences and well-thought-out reasons which Robert had not written on his paper. Then no theme could be re- quired of him. But it takes a certain effort of the will, as well as of the hand, delib- eratelv to upset an inkwell, and Robert hesitated a moment, gathering courage and resolve. Alas! he who is at the plough and looks back is lost. The same thing pertains to inkwells: anyhow it did in Robert's case. With his hand on the inkwell, he looked back-or, to be exact, slantways across the aisle-and discovered that he could with ease read what Mary Smith was writing on her paper. We make no attempt to exon- erate Robert, to plead for him, to excuse his dread and unforgivable sing we merely state the plain ungarnished-we mean, un- varnished-truth. He read Mary Smith's paper. Yes, with one hand on a furrowed brow Cto suggest that he was deep in the painful process of thinkingl, Robert peered out of the cor- ner of his eye at Mary's paper. I liked Mr. Ploof's speech Cso de- clared her essayj because he brought out clearly and forcibly the idea he was trying to bring out in his speech. Mary's unique habit of repeating her thoughts once or twice in the same sen- tence did not bother Robert in the least. He simply wrote down in his own words the essence of her work: I liked Mr. Plooff's speech because he had a good, clear idea. Then Robert again raised his hand to his forehead and glanced across the aisle. Also, wrote Mary, Mr. Ploof kept his speech interesting with many interest- ing anecdotes told during his speech. Robert, being slightly hazy on the meaning of anecdotes, debated internally .Fifty-six the advisability of using it on his paper, decided to do so. and wrote: There were many interesting anecdotes told by Mr. P1ooff's speech which kept him interesting. Thus. by dint of writing in large and flourishing letters, with a plenitude of space between each word and a super- abundance of margin space on either side of the paper. Robert managed to spread his store of borrowed ideas into a good two- thirds of a page. Then he came to about the last sentence on Mary's paper. Moreover, read he, Mr, Ploof's in- teresting speech was well-spoken because Mr. Ploof is a past master in the art of-. Unfortunately Mary's forefinger lay directly over that last word so that Robert could not determine just what Mr. Ploof was a past master of. He strained in his chair in a futile attempt to see that last word. He turned his head, and craned his neck, and leaned forward, and tilted the chair, and-a sharp crack as of an object falling on his desk! Horrors! That inkwell at the head of his paper swayed, tottered, and fell, and out rushed and bubbled a hungry black deluge of speeding liquid that swallowed up and drowned out all his newly found ideas, that poured over the desk and over the paper and trickled onto the floor in splashing black cascades! Then, to add insult to injury, the guilty inkwell rolled off the desk, hung a moment in space, and then smashed itself to pieces on the floor with a crash like the thunders of doom! And so if Robert has to pay for that inkwell and, if, because the teacher has seen him borrowing ideas from Mary, he gets a zero or two and ultimately has to take the final examination, then whose fault is it? Why, Mary's fault, and Mr. Ploof's, of course. urged on by and in conspiracy with the teacher. Undoubtedly.

IN HIGH SCHOOL By RAYMOND WIESE TIQUETTE was originally a French word meaning Keep off the grass. In the time of Louis had XIV of later European history its meaning began to change. The dour Scot who was laying out the gardens of Ver- sailles was grieved because his newly-seeded lawns were being trampled upon: so he placed etiquette signs along the paths to keep off the tramplers. The blase courtiers paid no attention. however: so the Scotsman complained to King Louis XIV. His august majesty then issued a stern edict to keep within the eti- quettes. Gradually the term came to cover all rules for correct demeanor and deport- ment in court circles and today the gradual molding of two centuries and fifty-eight years has changed its meaning to The system of conventional forms required by good breeding or necessary to be observed in official or social life. Where is such a system more necessary than in the great high school of today with its vast number of social contacts? It is also advisable that the youth of the nation in their preparation for the great game of life should acquire tact, conventionalism, and ease of manner as well as a knowledge of science, mathematics, social science, and language. Although a perfect knowledge of the correct school manners does not neces- sarily make a well-bred student or teacher, since ethics also enter into the matter, this perfect knowledge is a big step forward, and this article, through its brief summary of the best manners for different situations met with in school life, hopes to start many on the upward path. The first thing we shall touch upon is the arrival at and the departure from school. These should never, under any circumstances, be made hurriedly. In the past nothing was said of this great abomi- nation, but gradually we are beginning to take the English and continental viewpoint that a student in a hurry is not a student. The posture of one entering the school should be dignified, calm, and well-poised. The head should be high, eyes straight ahead, shoulders back, chest out, and stom- ach fiat. Arms should move very little, and all walking should be done from the hips and not from the knees. Boys should carry books at arm's length, supported only by the hand. Girls obliged to carry books should bend the arm at the elbow, forming an acute angle, and the books should be iirmly clasped by the four lingers and rest partly on the palm of the hand and partly on the lower part of the forearm. Exactly one and one-half seconds after passing through the doorway all boys' hats and caps should be doffed. In the conservative East this is done one-half second after en- tering, and in the radical West it is closer to three seconds, but the etiquette dictators of the Middle West have decided on one and one-half seconds. The 'arrival should be timed to fall between fifteen and four minutes before the first class. Anyone arriving before 'this time is egregious. If, because of some un- foreseen event, the student is late, he should, before entering the class room, care- fully peer into it and find out what is going on within. If an entrance is apt to disturb or interrupt anything, it is best, except in extreme cases, to stay out the entire period or at least to wait for a more suitable moment to enter. When a student does enter late, the teacher, even though inter- rupted and nonplussed, should not make sarcastic or biting remarks. Almost every dandiprat in our modern schools was caused by these remarks. In Europe, and even in the Eastern states, there is an elab- orate set of rules for teachers entering late, t Fifty-seuen v x r av' Kap I :S gbrak if fxvii sg f l riwfwwiafa, tS'2114i?li5ub1!a Q U ' -l' , - i .-l THE CADUCEUS but tardiness amongst the Middle West teachers is so rare that it would be both an insult and a waste of space to set those rules down here. The exit from school should be made exactly as the entrance, except that it is slower and more sedate, as though the day had been fatiguing. The most informal place in school is the corridor. It can almost be said. Let all who walk here put dignity aside. Its very informality, however, should put one on the alert to guard against those little actions that keep many from reaching the highest rank. Playing marbles and spin- ning tops, while perfectly fit as a pastime for the prep school, are atrocious when indulged in in the corridor. The important thing to remember is to avoid anything that is conspicuous and likely to attract attention. If carrying books will attract attention, shun book carrying. The class room is the antithesis of the corridor, inasmuch as formality and de- corum should exist. All talking should cease upon the threshold, and a slight pause should also be made there in order that the students may locate their places and recover their breath before a sedate walk to their desks. If a student is unprepared, he should always tell the teacher before class so that he will not be called upon, for it is rude and ungrateful to Waste time which is being paid for by the sweat of hard-working parents. When called upon, the student should give the correct answer in 'a low, clear, well modulated tone, making it as concise as possible. When the student is unable to answer correctly, I do not know, said in a hoarse, rasping tone is correct. The time is not far distant when students will be marked according to the tone in which they give their answers. Even now one of the vatic proponents of this change in the educational system has started out with his bare hands and one student to organize the most up-to-date school in the world. The students and teacher should always strive to pay close attention to any recitation or work that is being Fifty-eight done. The person reciting should strive, also, to hold their interest. If he or she sees that the listeners are being bored, a politely murmured l beg your pardon, followed by a taking of one's place is the only procedure approved by polite society. Pupils may debate a subject in -class, but they should never engage in a controversy with another pupil or the teacher. The basis of class room etiquette is that students should be respectful but not subservient to the teacher, while the aforementioned teacher should be considerate, tepid, and firm. If these two proper attitudes are maintained at all times there will always be complete harmony even when the quar- terly marks are given. There is no occasion in the high school which is more exacting and requires greater self-control than an auditorium session. After finding a place one may engage in a low, well-modulated conversation until the speakers are on the stage, but thumping with one's cane or taking off one's spats and hitting another student with them is nauseous. When a speaker is introduced, is talking, or has linished talking, a perfect silence is a greater ovation than loud and thunderous clapping. A perfect silence is always correct for an auditorium session except at a pep meeting, where noisy en- thusiasm and spirit are required. The students should always display interest and attention in everything that goes on. It is very poor taste to be bored at anything. If one cannot remain interested in the jokes or talk he should study the physiognomy of the speaker. Every speaker must have something strong and virile about him or he would not be selected to inspire the nation's youth. Learn to watch out for the feature that gives the speaker courage to address several hundred students and then, sitting slightly forward, concentrate your attention on it. At the end, lean back in the chair as though you had just passed through a great experience. Students should graciously bow and move their lips when receiving athletic, scholastic, or other I 'fb oc 21 Tx 42- :f':'.x k I J T lt - . THE CADUCEUS awards in the auditorium: but captains are permitted to remain perfectly straight and silent. The lunch room of the ordinary high school generally has no etiquette whatever. The time is too short to make a satisfactory informal dinner or luncheon with the num- ber of courses that they require. It is also impossible for any dignity to exist amidst the loud talk of upper classmen and the sudden short spraying of milk by under classmen. The effusive slobbering of car- nose mammals is also highly repulsive. Two notables, namely Dudley Field and Nils Nilson, have conceived the novel idea of considering a lunch in the school exactly as one in an Eskimo's igloo in the far north. One high school in Esthonia has even gone as far as installing a gigantic Kelvinator, which coats the entire inside of the lunch room with ice and frost. By means of gyrating prisms operated by chemistry students, effects similar to the aurora borealis are obtained. The only food served is whale meat and greasy blub- ber. With this food served, the students eat less and are, therefore, healthier. In the ordinary high school of the Middle West, however, it requires too great an imagina- tion for the verdant students to transport themselves to the farther North. It is, therefore, recommended that students should remember that one's manners are immeasurably more important than one's meals. All conversation in the high school should be simple and not stilted or pomp- ous. Anyone who uses sesquipedalian words or phrases, plainly advertises ill- breeding. Bovine continuation meaning cow's tail, Htintinnabulary summons meaning bell, and Upreprandial ablutions meaning washing, are examples of this growing evil. Everyone should cultivate his or her speaking voice until it is low, clear, and resonant. A good exercise for this is to stick one's tongue out as far as possible and to say distinctly, The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. If this is done ten times a day, the improve- ment is astonishing. In many countries the supreme test of good breeding is conduct in a scrape. In Eton, England, and in Lincoln High, Seattle, it is necessary to get in at least one scrape a year to preserve one's standing amongst the elite. In the Middle West. however, the cultured, high-minded student does not get into scrapesg so we will not discuss the etiquette during one. There are many other subjects, such as parties, introductions, greetings, etc., in which everyone attending high school should be versed, but the sane, serious Emily Post has written on them so well that we recommend her book, Etiquette, on any subject not handled here.

V . figs' Paix was the most exclusive and consequently the most expensive ' club in Paris. It boasted the best bar, the best billiard tables, and, most im- portant of all, the best lounge in Paris. One stormy March evening the lounge was filled with groups of men conversing on various subjects of masculine interest, some of them dismal or dull as the weather. The room was filled with tobacco smoke that floated in thick, stringy clouds and completed the morose air of the room. To one of the groups of men consisting of Major Gore, Dr. Speen, and Mr. Girk, an ex-chief of detectives named Mr. Morrow was offering his contributions toward the topic of conversation, which was murder. He was telling of past experiences and cases. Between puffs of his cheroot he told the story of one of his first experi- ences. Yes, he said by 'way of emphasis, it was one of the most baffling and most talked of cases on record, for, as you shall see, it has never been solved oflicially. It occurred when I had been in the service but a year. I was visiting Sardinia during my vacation and had been enjoying myself immensely, for I was glad to get away from the tiresome if not monotonous life of a detective. Monotonous and tiresome! exclaimed the major. Yes, replied Morrow, it is, after you're in it a while. Then, after a slight pause, he continued, One morning I awoke early, to be greeted by the warm sunshine that can be. found only on the Mediterranean, and a buzzing that came from the hurried speaking of Italian. I hurried to the window to see what all the noise was about. I saw in the street many NOTE: The plot for this story Sixty people, excited villagers. My curiosity aroused, I hastened to dress and go down- stairs. The flrst person I met was Athena, the housekeeper's daughter, who explained to me, very excitedly, that the village cob- bler had been murdered. She shuddered as she told me that his body had been torn most brutally. Naturally I was interested. I hurried into the street to learn more of the matter. Inquiring of several persons, who willingly gave information for a few coins, I learned that the cobbler had ar- rived in the village just eight months be- fore. No one knew from where or why. He was very unobtrusive sort of man and did not associate very much with the rest of the people, but because of his superior workmanship the villagers had patronized him. This information I received on my way to the cobb1er's shop. When I ar- rived, I found that the entire police force Cand the chief was a shrewd man for the people he servedb had taken charge of the situation. I had no difficulty gaining ad- mittance, since people of that sort rather respect a foreigner. The shop was well equipped. I noticed this at a glance. The murdered man was lying, with his hat and cloak on, near the center of the floor. In one hand he still held a candle. From this and the fact that he wore his hat and cloak, I inferred the murder had occurred at the time the unfortunate man was about to close his shop. In the other hand he held a shock of hair. Coarse brown hair 'it was, too coarse to be human. Upon closer examination I found that a piece of skin had been torn away with the hair. Well, thought I, the murderer will carry a bald spot to his grave. The shock of hair immediately reminded me of a go- rilla Csuch murders are quite common, you knowj, but upon further examination of the body I found teeth marks too small taken from :A text-book exercise. f 'W K X Y' J JQQJAFAX w. fs- gn... g.4Lx5gfrf5J4w.q' 'Shu iiicplbalfz Q El at l Tl-IECADUCEUS and too curved to be those of a gorilla. Although the hair and teeth marks were clews, they would not suffice, for. I thought, there must be a human brain behind the murder. Saying nothing of my deductions, I arose and strode about the shop, examin- ing things of interest. There was nothing extraordinary except that most of the tools were new. This suggested that the cobbler had left his previous address too hurriedly to gather all of his belongings. After twenty minutes examination of the shop and contents, I was about to leave when a small picture, say six by eight inches. caught my eye. It seemed, from where I was standing, to be an oil painting of good quality, and, as I am interested in oils to a certain extent, I went over to examine it more minutely. I took the picture from the wall and brought it to the light, for it had been hanging in an inconspicuous. rather dark place. In the light, I saw im- mediately that it was the work of an ama- teur, but a fair piece of work at that. I turned to the policeman, who had been trying to keep the crowd from entering the shop, and asked if I might have the picture. Begging your pardon, sir, he said brokenly, but is against the rules. I-Ie then launched a series of apologies to which I paid no attention, but merely took from my pocket a few coins and threw them on a bench where he could reach them. When he saw me do this, he forgot that there ever were any rules and his voice died away like a run-down talking machine. I walked out with the painting. A few days later I left Sardinia for Corsica, not realizing, however, what I was to find. After arriving there and en- joying myself very much for a few days I moved to the village of X-. A couple of days later on a sight-seeing trip, I felt an internal desire called hunger. To satisfy my appetite I stopped at a small cafe for luncheon. While eating I glanced about the room, looking at all the small ornaments and oddities, when lo and be- hold! my eye was caught by an oil paint- ing about six by eight inches. Having finished eating, I casually sauntered to the spot where the picture was hanging. I saw that it too was done by an amateur, apparently the same that had painted the cobbler's picture. While paying my check I asked the proprietor of the cafe where he had purchased the picture. He told me that he had bought it of a painter down the street and obligingly took me to the door and showed me the exact house. I passed the rest of that day sight-seeing. The next morning I arose and break- fasted. Then taking my, or rather the cobbler's, small oil painting I went to visit its creator. I found that he was a middle- aged man, fairly intelligent and very at- tractive in action and speech. Originally I had not intended to be so perfectly frank with him for fear my curiosity would be gossiped about. However, after a few mo- ments of conversation, I asked him' if he remembered to whom he had sold the pic- ture in my possession. He did, and told me of the cobbler and of how he had left the village after murdering the son of a widow, a woman well liked by the vil- lagers. The law had not been able to reach the man, for he had gone to Sardinia. He continued the story of the lives of the widow, her son, and the cobbler, but I saw it all clearly now. It only remained for me to authenticate my conclusions. He told me where the widow lived and I left him, after paying him handsomely for his information, besides buying two more of his paintings. Then I went di- rectly to the house of the woman. When I arrived there was a small crowd of neigh- bors on the front porch talking very much but solemnly. I sensed something wrong. but nevertheless I entered the gate and pro- ceeded up the walk and steps. Midway on the steps there lay a huge dog on his stom- ach, with his ears laid back and big tears in his eyes, the picture of animated sorrow. I stopped to pat his head, and on his neck Sixty-one i 'Qefffffe I N 'L Tm ' 'Y 1 I .7 9 7 if-3' GV' f ,- Ju 'MTQW hf 14444 -LE . 5 t eg,-Qv kfg lxi it A D U ' ' 'r N ' Ni'-'35 ISL .fi 'ff'-Iv if X 1 ' 0 6 he X 7 Y THE CADUCEUS I saw a hairless spot. I drew back at the thought of petting so vicious an animal, although he seemed gentle enough now. By this time the people on the porch had noticed me and I made known to them the object of my visit. They looked from one to another for fully two minutes be- fore an elderly man took it upon himself to inform me that the widow had died an hour before. I voiced my regrets and left, feeling very sympathetic for the widow and the dog. I believe I realized how the widow felt when her only son was mur- dered in cold blood. But revenge is not yet a legal grounds for murder, and no doubt the woman was wrong. I did not make a report of this case, for I was sup- posed to be vacationing and nothing would come of it if I did. Sounds something like a story book, commented Major Gore. Then I have failed, replied Morrow. Failed in what? asked the doctor. Why, I have failed to form a story that would sound true. You see I always aspired to be a story writer, and I thought I would try my skill. I hope you don't think I deliberately deceived you. Oh, no, replied Mr. Gerk, you have not only supplied us entertainment, but you must remember we all have our secret ambitions. gum . ,sal I affale,-?iegw.i!

Altogether, he was rather disreputable looking. While he was thus enjoying himself, a familiar voice rang through the air. James, come in at once! it called., Jim sighed, but didn't move. James! it called again, insistently. Jim decided that he had better start moving: so, slowly, he began to climb down, stopping to disen- gage various parts of his clothing from nails. James! called. the voice, grimly. Aw, I'm comin', he shouted, for his mother was calling. IM was sitting on the Ifence, think- ! ?79'vI ' ' He entered the house, falling over chairs in the kitchen. His mother surveyed him silently. Jim, she said sternly, go up- stairs and wash for dinner at once. 'Um, Jim answered absently, slowly climbing the stairs. In the dining room his mother was set- ting the table for dinner. I wonder what he's thinking about now, she reflected: last week it was putting an electric mud- scraper on the porch, and before that it was training snails for circuses. Above, she could hear Jim splashing about, and occa- sionally she heard snatches of a song ending with an emphatic chorus of, Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum! Oh, those terrible songs he sings, she sighed. I must speak to Daddy about him. When the rest of the family had been seated at the table for about ten minutes. Jim entered the cheerful dining room. He greeted his parents, but took no notice of his sixteen-year-old sister. Betty. Jim began to eat with the gusto of a healthy, hungry youngster. Betty was giving a colorful account of a tea she had attended when Jim, who couldn't stand listening to her affected talk as he called it, exploded. Yeh, he shouted, scornfully, you pore ish! Ya don't know how ta talk. All ya can say is 'adorable' ! He drawled out the Word hideously. Your hair cut's 'adorable,' your ole silly boy-friends are 'adorable,' your ole crazy school's 'jus' darling'! He glared at Betty. You ain't got no sense! he finished. James! said his mother, stop that immediately! Yes, mom, said Jim, but bestowing upon Betty a look of scorn. Jimmy, dearest, asked Betty very sweetly, who was that cute little girl you were talking to this morning? Shut up, you ole parrot! growled Jim, blushing furiously. Children! said Mrs. Brook, I'm so displeased ! ' ' Yes, and so am I! shouted Mr. Jim your mother doesn't Brook, senior. If take a hand in this everlasting lighting, I will, and soon, too! he exclaimed. No, Jim, you won't either. I'm these children's mother, and I'm the one to punish them. declared Mrs. Brook. That's just the trouble, said Jim, senior, you don't punish them! Why, Jim, I do! protested his wife. Well, if you do, I never hear about it. Jim, what's the matter? asked Mrs. Brook, weakly. You are acting so strangely tonight, and she began to cry. Now what have I done? groaned Mr. Brook, jumping up from his place at the table and putting his arms around his wife. Unnoticed, Jim slipped out of the room, a large portion of a chocolate cake disap- pearing also. My cow! he said to him- Sixty-three H I I f .

Suddenly a wide grin spread itself over his chocolate-smeared face. He turned and ran back toward his home. Cautiously he peered around the side of the house. Hot dog! he murmured to him- self, throwing one leg over the railing of the front porch. He climbed in through the open window. Gee whiz, what I'll hear tonight! he chuckled. From the window sill he slid onto the big divan next to the window. He worked himself into a com- fortable position, crouching low on the divan. He had remembered that one of Betty's boy-friends was coming that evening. The friend who was coming that night was Talmage Winton. One word in Jim's vocabulary expressed his opinion of Talmage- sissy, Jim was always very curious concerning the conversation of Betty and her friends: so he meant to listen to the conversation tonight. Jim was not thinking of the honorableness of his act. He waited. Mr. and Mrs. Brook left for an evening of bridge with friends. Up in her room Betty was trying on dress after dress, en- deavoring to decide which one set off her blond beauty most effectively. Finally, she selected a blue taffeta frock, and, after dressing, came downstairs. She went out on the porch and seated herself in a big chair outside the open window. The night was warm, and Jim was very comfortable among the cushions on the soft divan. Drowsily he thought, That ole sissy won't come fer a long time, and so he fell asleep. Several hours passed. Jim still slept. Suddenly he was rudely awakened. Some- thing had seated itself on the boy's legs. Jim began to shout, still half-asleep, Ain't ya got no sense, sittin' on a fella like that? Betty shrieked and jumped to her feet, bursting into tears. 'Oh, you fiend! You unspeakable fiend! You little dog! Sixty-four You eavesdropper! You dishonorable ani- mal! she sobbed. Talmage gathered her into his arms, and she sobbed on his manly shoulder. Jim stared with unbelieving eyes. What you cryin' about? he asked, stupidly. Talmage answered. You have offended your sister very deeply, and I feel that you should apologize right now, he declared, gravely, and held the sobbing Betty closer. My gosh! said Jim indignantly, what did I do? Seem to me she oughta beg my pardon fer sittin' on me! Young man. do you deny listening to our conversation? asked Talmage severely. Aw, come out of it! snapped Jim. Betty started to say something, but she began to choke and had to be patted very tenderly on the back by Talmage. I '.'Say, lissun, you, said Jim. 'I wasn't l1ss1n1n' to you two nuts sittin' on the porch: I was sleepxn'. Tell that to your father, answered Talmage stilfly. You just wait till Daddy comes home and you'll wish you'd never listened to us! sobbed Betty. Oh, dry up! shouted Jim, violently. I was sleep1n', I tole ya. I wasn't listenin' to your ole talk! Neither Betty nor Talmage answered. The latter strode to the divan. and drag- ging Jim off, deposited him in the door- way. Then, ushering Betty to the divan, he seated himself beside her. Oh, Talmage, you're such a comfort! murmured Betty. Much gratified, he put his arm around her, and began to feed her chocolates. Jim was still sitting in the doorway, watching the two with disgust. Now he rose and said, scornfully, lf I had as little sense as you two got, I'd lock myself up so nobody could see melf' and he stalked out majestically. ff'-' C 514' -1 7 'i' .1 J.

Don't think about him, Betty, ad- vised Talmage. Talk to me. Jim strolled leisurely up to his room. As he prepared for bed he was trying to think of a means by which he could make Talmage stay away from the house. A person can't do nuthin' when that lizard's around, he thought, and then went to sleep. The next day was Sunday. Jim rose early and came downstairs in search of the funny paper. Bounding down the steps two at a time, he ran into his mother, who was coming up with a well-filled tray in her hands. They collided and the tray fell to the steps, all the articles on it rolling down the steps. Mrs. Brook picked up the tray, but dropped it. The tray hit Jim on the head. OW, wow! shrieked Jim, who's battin' me on the dome? I-lush! said his mother rather breath- lessly, for Jim's sturdy body had struck her heavily. I was taking the tray up to Betty because she doesn't feel very well this morning. Oh, rats! exclaimed Jim, she's jus' too lazy to go to church. I know her! By the way, Jim, Daddy wants to see you downstairs now. What's he want, mom? asked Jim, worriedly. I don't know, answered his mother: you had better go down now and find out. Jim walked into the bright living room. His father was reading. After you have eaten breakfast, Jim, come down in the basement, said Mr. Brook without taking his eyes from the book. Yes, sir, gulped Jim. and ran into the kitchen. He ate very little. Then Jim went down into the basement. He was surprised to find his father already down there. Come here, Jim, said his father. Now tell me exactly what happened last night. Jim told his story. After Jim had Hnished talking his father scratched his head. 'Wel1, sir, declared Mr. Brook. I don't know what to do. and he scratched his head again perplexedly. I suppose I'll have to punish you. Although you didn't carry them out. you had bad intentions. Betty demands satisfaction: so, Jim, I'll spank you, I guess. Lie over this barrel. So Jim was chastised. On Monday Jim began to form his plans for revenge on Betty. He roamed the neighborhood for a dog- a real dirty dog. At last he secured his prize. The dog was small, but rather ferocious look- ing. It was exceedingly dirty, and to make it still dirtier he rubbed the poor dog with coal dust. Jim kept the dog in an old stable a little way from his home. Every day for a week he visited the dog, giving it a daily coal-dust bath, and feeding it scraps of raw meat to make it vicious. But the dog was too old to become vicious. On the following Monday Jim's mother went out, leaving the house in Betty's care. Betty decided to spend the afternoon and evening at Jane Winton's. Jane was Tal- mage's cousin and Betty's chum. After Betty was safely out of the house. Jim began to put his plans into action. He first visited the stable, and, after giving the dog a final coal-dust bath, brought it home with him. He took the dog into Betty's room. Next, he secured a piece of red rib- bon which he tied around the dog's neck. He then found a large piece of paper on which he printed: Bad dog going mad, liable to bite. This sign he tied to the foot of Betty's bed. Then he put the dirty dog on the beautiful taffeta cover of Betty's' bed, placing all Betty's pretty, lacy cush- ions around him. The animal snuggled down among the soft cushions and looked at Jim with thankful eyes. Dog, do your 'Sixty-Eve 1 M lil 'i l' ll H T H E C A stuff! commanded Jim, and closed the door. When Betty came home that night about half-past ten, Jim decided that he wanted something at the drugstore: so he ran down the street. Betty ran gaily up the steps, singing. She went into her room, not looking at the bed. She ran over to her mirror, looking at her reflection. Talmage likes me! she whis- pered to herself, and threw herself upon the bed, landing on the sleeping dog. The dog awoke, terrorized. He jumped off the bed, dragging the taffeta coverlet with him. He ran under chairs, knocking them overg he jumped upon the dressing table, dragging off the scarf and all Betty's toilet articles. Finally he crawled under the bed. Oh, oh! shrieked Betty. 'Dad, come quick! Oh, help me! This thing's in my room! He's on my bed! Dad, come quick! Betty ran out of the room, meeting her father at the top of the stairs. In on my bed! she cried frantically. Get it off! Mystified, her father crossed the room. Then he saw the sign. He read it and burst into gales of laughter. He tried to sit down on a chair. but he was laughing so hard that he fell to the floor. Betty came into the room with her mother. They both gazed at Mr. Brook lying on the floor. Dad! cried Betty in horror, did it bite you? Are you going mad? Are you really mad? Mr. Brook roared. . Jim! exclaimed his wife, stop laugh- ing and get that miserable animal out of here! Don't talk! roared Mr. Brook, louder than ever. Get up! commanded Mrs. Brook. Tin trying to, laughed Mr. Brook, still going strong. Daddy, please get that animal out of here! begged Betty. Mr. Brook slowly subsided. He crawled under the bed. The dog began to bark. Shut up, you hound! exclaimed Mr. Sixty -six DUCEUS Brook. After rolling about for several minutes, Mr. Brook caught the dog. I got him! he announced to his wife and daughter. He took the dog out into the back yard. When Jim came home he found his mother and father talking. Jim, come here, said Mrs. Brook, I want to ask you a few questions. Are you sorry that you put the dog on Betty's bed? No, mom! answered Jim emphat- ically. That will do, said Mrs. Brook. Then she said, Listen, Jim, we are going to send you to the Lakemore School, Saturday. Really? asked Jim. Yes, replied his mother, you and Betty can't get along: so you'll go away to school. Gee whiz! said Jim. I know a lotta boys there. That night he dreamed of himself in the smart uniform of the Lake- more Military School. Saturday came at last. Jim was excited and ready to go. Betty seemed unusually quiet that morning and rather preoccupied. i Jim's family went to the station with him. His mother kissed him many times, admonishing him to be careful about every- thing and to write often and to do a thou- sand other things, Jim thought. The train was ready to leave. Jim was kissing his mother for the last time when Betty threw her arms around his neck, kissing him as fast as she could. Oh, my dear little brother! cried Betty, hugging him tightly. With difficulty Jim extricated himself. Goodbye, he shouted. ' The train began to move: Jim stood, waving to his parents and the tearful Betty, the sunlight shining on his sturdy figure. Gee, he's a fine lad! said Mr. Brook as the train sped faster and faster, carrying Jim away. Oh, Daddy, he's marvelous! cried Betty, wiping her eyes. 1, ff we .egg ' 'Q r xi F59 'fail N ml!q'1Jub 'Nw ' v 6' Q Q31 eq f-M Qif f iie U s 'I ',x'f 'fi -A 1T',1E K T9 - if 2 '73 4 .fr5'Wff+fsf, 57 . x 'I ' ex W THE CADUCEUS AN EXPENSIVE. CHICKEN DINNER By DOROTHY BUss gi F anyone had been on Shepherd I Mountain, by the spring which gushes out of the southern hillside T 9 ' -f on this particular day in May, he would have seen a strange sight. Out of a cave near the spring came a mother opos- sum with her tail held stiffly over her back. Sitting on her back were six tiny 'possums with their tails curled tightly around hers. As she walked along, the mother gave them their first lesson in na- ture. Now, children. said she, keep your eyes wide open and if Itwitch my tail you must be ever so quiet for some danger is sure to be near. She w a s passing through an open field of tall, waving grass when she heard the swish, Swish of the grass as farmer Lane walked along. Her tail twitched and the young 'possums ceased talking for a while, only to com- mence whispering a minute after. Farmer Lane's dog, Shep, heard some- thing move in the grass, and when he smelt the 'possums he pointed them Gut to his master, standing with one forepaw raised and nose pointed in their direction. Mr. Lane, seeing the 'posums, took off his coat, spread it over the mother, and lifted her with her babies in his arms and carried them home and put them in a box. That night, when her babies were asleep, the mother 'possum carefully went over Sammy every inch of the coop, trying to find a weak spot through which to escape. She looked again and again: finally she found a hole in the wire that covered the front. At this she worked for hours till, when the east was just growing light, she stealthily crawled through the hole, which seemed ' much too small for her to get through-at least that is what Tony, the hired man, thought when he found the mother and all but one of the babies missing' This poor little fellow became 'quite a pet: so the children christened him Sammy. Finally, when he was full grown, he was allowed to run loose. One night he grew restless, and instead of staying in his usual place on the doorstep he went wandering over the countryside. He was back the next morn- ing, though, and no one ever 'knew he had been away. He kept roving around at night after that, but when dawn came stealing over the hills he was back on the doorstep. Now one night he traveled so far that he couldn't get back in time, so he slept high up in an old dead pine tree. That night the call of the wild came to him, and never again would he go back to his play- mates in the big white farm house. He had never been taught the secrets of nature, but then he had had no chance to Sixty-seven ii 'A' f- '56 C' Q 'f'ifEQRWkm Fx' 1'x'Nw'- W Qi- ca- eigrslffrfie 1 felis? ,Q 5' Jar. .al W, 15?

Then he traveled over the surrounding countryside until he came upon a henhouse whose smaller door was open. The main door was closed, but the chickens had not all come in at once and the farmer had left the smaller door open, fully intending to return and close it when it was dark. Into this door the wise 'possum crawled. The hens were all on the roosts. Only one springer was sitting on a box near the floor. Behind this Springer the 'possum slowly crept: then with a leap was upon her. Quickly sinking his long sharp teeth into her neck, he quieted her squawking for- ever. Not so the other hens. They flew against the windows and raised such a racket that the farmer rushed out of the back door of the farmhouse holding high a gleaming lantern. When he reached the henhouse, nothing was to be seen, but a small dark object had just disappeared down the hill dragging after it a burden nearly as large as itself. Traps were set for him, but hens were not the only article on his menu. He ate gophers, Held mice, persimmons Cwhen they were in seasonj, and even found a rabbit's nest now and then. One day he blundered into a deftly con- cealed trap and was forced to chew off his right forefoot. Hereafter it was easy to tell Sammy's tracks from those of other 'possurns. The farmers tried in vain to trap Sammy. He had had experience with those cold, mysterious-smelling steel fangs which gripped one's legs with amazing quickness if one didn't step warily. But Sammy loved chicken and now, since all Sixty-eight the hencoops around were Well guarded, there was a scarcity of that delicious dainty. Negroes love 'possum and there was a negro family in Sarnmy's neighborhood- Poor Sammy! He had never had experi- ence with figure four traps, and seeing some thin sticks holding a large box, he won- dered what the secret was. Surely those sticks must be very strong. Ah! now he knew what it was. There was a little chick attached to one of the sticks. As chickens were considered precious, even a small one must be able to do wonderful things. This baby must be holding up that box. He would look anyway. May- be, just possibly that ckicken had nothing to do with those sticks: then he could catch .that delicious rarity. The little chick was looking the other way: so he cau- tiously approached from the other side. Then, with a swift stealthy movement, he captured the chick. Down dropped the box-he was a prisoner. Trapped! What should he do? There was no way to get out, for he was standing on a board not on the ground. For a while he forgot his sad predicament in the enjoyable pas- time of eating chicken. He had not long to wait, however, for the negro was al- ready on his way to the trap to find out what luck he had had. Mah deah li'll 'possum, is yo all dar? , Wha, show he's dar, Pop. Don' yo see. dat box am down? replied another voice. Wall, den, we'll all jus' haf to treat yo to a nice roastin'. What yo all say, Rastus? Sho, Pa, an won't Mammy like dat? CThat was the end of poor Sammy.j J U , N J 'D lu cf? l' EA il Jon-1 6 Fvf uw In D- 153 :fa gf' Al! Fry , A .gf ll THE CADUCEUS JACQUES By DORIS SMITH Vid EE: I Jacques started He had been ,Egg almost unconscious of the pres- H ence of the little humpbacked banker in the room, who was smilingly looking at him out of his small, sharp eyes set on either side of an eagle-beaked nose. Jacques slowly took off his hat and coat and hung them on a well-worn clothes rack nearby. It's terribly rainy outside, isn't it? the little man ventured in the way of con- versation. E Yes, it is. So much rain's certainly not good for these poor people's crops. And outside the thunder, accompanied by. a flash of lightning. seemed to verify his statement. Along the roads one might see cornstalks beaten into the mud of the fields. Every living object which only four hours earlier had held itself proudly erect. now bowed humbly to the pelting torrents of the rain. - I'm leaving early tonight, said the little old banker. You won't mind keep- ing watch for me, will you? You know, I guess, that my sister's husband died. No, I won't mind at all. I'm going to bed early, though. After the banker had departed, Jacques dropped into a chair and sat thinking. He sat for a long time in one fixed position. Then suddenly he would rise only to sink back into his chair again. He seemed to have something on his mind, to be con- fronted with some great question. Finally he arose and moved toward the door. He stood for some time looking out into the dusk. It was still raining dismally, and water was gushing past the crude stone steps of the dingy little bank. Far into the distant darkness the light of some small cottages was discernible. Quiet reigned OOD evening, Jacques! over the little neighborhood, for the thun- der had ceased and the storm was over. Jacques moved quickly toward the bank- er's desk and picked up a huge bunch of keys. Why not? , he murmured. He went behind the quaint money win- dow in the farther end of the room. After fumbling with the keys for some time, he found one that opened the drawer. Just then he heard a low. plaintive cry. Im- mediately memories of last night's humble supper at a kind neighbor's home came back to him. It sounded like the farmer's small, Winsome baby. But upon seeing only a huge black cat that had just arisen from the fireplace, he set about his task. He cautiously opened the drawer and began to examine its contents. It seemed to be full of all kinds of papers. At the very bottom, however, he found some- thing wrapped in yellowed tissue paper. When he had removed the paper, he dis- covered the photograph of a beautiful woman. Whose picture is this? he won- dered. Can it belong to the banker? Many questions arose in his mind. He ex- amined it more closely and found that at the bottom were written three words-My wife Betty. Whose wife could this have been? he kept thinking. Surely her clothes, al- though out of fashion, are of a much better grade than those worn by anyone here- abouts. Perhaps it is a picture of the bank- er's wife, he murmured. But then a mental image came before him of the little old man. He had never imagined any- thing in the banker's life except the dull atmosphere of the little bank. But had he been able to see another picture taken at the same time as the one he held-one of the little banker-many years ago. he would have beheld also a young man dressed in clothes that were not the grade of any worn Sixty-nine I Wg, sffwfaf r ltl l THE CADUCEUS by the townspeople. Misfortune had vis- ited the banker too: but he had come to live in the little bank where he had befriended all kinds of people, whether good or bad, rich or poor. He had taken the outcast to his shelter-the little old bank. Because he was such a friend, the people around had entrusted their meager savings to his care. Here in his little dingy office he stayed, hardly having enough to eat himself-yet always enough to share with anyone that had less than he. People came and then went away, carrying with them a portion of the little man's spirit. Thus the neigh- borhood caught this contagious good Will and it treated all strangers hospitably. Slowly Jacques put the photograph back into the drawer. The banker will soon be home, he thought. Suddenly he was overwhelmed with remorse. He realized that he, a stranger who had been treated kindly, had been about to steal the hard- earned dollars of these people who had al- ways given him their best, their kindness. Yet what have I ever given to anyone? he asked himself. Nothing: I have only taken everything I could get. He began to think what he would do. He would stay, he thought, and tell the banker that he had been about to steal their money: and after this they would be afraid to treat all strangers kindly. Yet if he did this he would be taking away one of their joys, which was giving kindness. It is really best to let them keep this joy, he said. And may there never be anyone else as unworthy as I. And then Jacques picked up his hat and coat and moved to the door, out into the darkness, out of the life of the kindly little neighborhood. Ili f QQ X ff fig 'H rf' fl t-1 is fr Q i LT iw- VTX!

INVALID RECOVERS By MARY SAWYER I1 N the first place, it was all Ralph Ferris's fault. He should never have brought that fatal stick of IL' I gum to school. But let me get down to particulars. The fifth grade class was having a writ- ing lesson and if anything is more boring than a writing lesson to a class' of forty- five ten-and eleven-year old boys and girls on a nice spring day, I hope that this thing will never be discovered. All was still save the ticking of the clock and the scratching of forty-iive odd pens, and the frequent sighs of the fifth grade class, when Ralph Ferris, who sat across the aisle from Julia and me, extracted a piece of chewing gum from his pocket-and thereby hangs a tale. Having removed the paper from the gum,'Ralph arrested .Iulia's and my atten- tion by preceeding to cut the figure of a boy in the delectable refreshment. Who wants? he whispered, holding the tempting gum 'boy above our desks. I do! I do! Julia and I answered together and both made a grab for him. But Julia was the victor, as I succeeded in snatching only the leg from the gum boy. Poor brother, whispered Julia, as she stowed the crippled gum figure into her pocket. I-Ie has broken his leg and must go to the hospital. Here fate intervened in the shape of Miss Middleton, who was now examining Ralph's poorly written paper. Why Julia, said Miss Middleton sym- pathetically, that's too bad. Is he badly hurt? ' All the blood rushed up to Julia's face, quite blotting out the prominent freckles. She clutched her pen tightly and answered unsteadily. No ma'am-er-that is not so badly. What hospital is he in? In the Barnes-I mean-yes, the Barnes. What ward is he in? I don't know. This, at least, was truthful: Julia had no idea what a ward was. She had been taken off her guard, for she had no brother. Nevertheless, Ralph and I thought she answered Miss Middle- ton's questions well. Henceforth Julia's phantom brother Was a source of joy to her. Was her arithmetic unprepared-well, she had gone to see her brother. Did she fail in spelling-well, her brother was worse and she was Worry- ing about him. Somehow to our ten-year old minds it was decidedly unjust. Here were we laboring by the sweat of our brow with spelling and geography and unsolv- able arithmetic problems, while Julia loafed and took life easy because of a crippled gum boy. Here we were constantly scolded or bringing notes home to our parents, or we were upbraided, while Julia received sym- pathy and understanding because she made no attempt to work. But deceit, as well as murder, will out. for one day both Julia and Ralph came late to school. Julie's glib excuse was as usual about her brother, while Ralph, who merely went home for a forgotten book, was told sharply to remain after school. The next day, out of the clear sky, Miss Middleton said, Julia, I will be at the hos- pital today to see a friend: so I'll step in and see your brother. What is his name, by the Way? Julia blushed hotly, being caught off her guard again. Joe-George, she stammered. Well, which is it, Joe or George? Why, George, of course, certainly, but Seventy-one '10 Rv -1 A1331 'S ' J .. IT?

Yes ma'am, he's come home today. My mother is bringing him home today. Oh, sarcastically, Is that so? Well, I'd liketo see him. Suppose you bring him to school! ' What'll I do? Julia implored of me on our way home from school. I have no brother and Miss Middleton expects me to bring him tomorrow, I guess. Can you lend me your brother? Goodness, no! Billie's too big and shy. Anyway Miss Middleton knows him. What shall I do? don't know. Haven't you got a cousin or some friend between four and five years old? The next day Julia came to school dragging a very reluctant four-year-old, red-haired. freckled youngster. Now, Jimmy, she cautioned, re- member your name's George Streeter. You're my brother and you just got back from the hospital yesterday. Under- stand? Jimmy nodded. ' If Julia was confident in her plan, I was not. On the contrary, I could see no re- semblance between the said brother and sister, and I feared Miss Middleton would agree with me. For surely Julia, tall, slen- der of figure, brown-haired, and brown- eyed, bore a decided difference from pudgy, snub-nosed Jimmy McMannus. So this is your brother, Julia, said Miss Middleton, not unkindly. when the so-called brother was presented. Now, George, which foot did you hurt? The left, interposed Julia. YOU, Little Miss Muflfet Sat on a tuffet This one, said Jimmy, pointing promptly to the right foot. Let me see you run, George. Jimmy sprinted around the room. Julia's face was dyed a deep, unnatural red and remained so until the regular lesson in writing. Thank goodness. only half an hour more, she sighed in my sympathetic ear, and no more brother for me. Jimmy was meanwhile preoccupied with a picture book provided by Miss Middle- ton. All went well until Miss Middleton called from the desk. George, come here a minute. Jimmy, deeply engrossed in a picture book paid no attention. George, come here when I call you. Yes, I mean you. Isn't your name George? . Naw, my name's Jimmy McMannus and my daddy's a policeman. Why, aren't you Julia Streeter's brother? Naw. she just lives across the street. She ain't got no brother 'cause I'm the only little boy on the block. Weren't you in the' hospital with a broken leg last week? Nope, but last summer I had warts on my hand, and now I want to go home to my dog and my mamma. Do you know, I said to Ralph, as we passed out of the room, leaving Miss Mid- dleton and Julia in conference, I believe Miss Middleton knew all the while that Julia wasn't telling the truth. Well, maybe not all the while, ad- mitted Ralph slowly, I guess she found out the day I stayed in after school. TOO ?

She andpKatherine Landis had been friends ever since they had entered Ogden two years before. Margaret was a medium sized girl with curly dishwater blond hair. She was not very pretty but was exceedingly attractive. Her main ob- ject in life at the present moment was to arrest the attention of a small, dark girl, who was standing with a group of co-eds at the opposite end of the campus. Oh-ho! exclaimed Ruth Gregory, one of the girls, looks as though Peg had lost her shadow andjust located it. Better run, Kitten: we'll see you after awhile. When Margaret saw Katherine start to- ward her, she suddenly stopped her race and stood breathing heavily. Well, she panted, if you don't hurry I shall sit down right here: I'm bursting with news, Kitten Landis! All right, all right, ejaculated Kath- erine, out with it! I've just found out when the Senior 'prom' is to be held! Really? Oh, tell me quick, squealed Katherine. ' It's to be the Saturday night after the Thursday night which is two nights after the first boys' basketball game. Now, please, Peg, say it so I don't have to tie my brain in a knot to understandf' Oh, dear, I knew I'd have to explain. Well, this is the tenth of October, and the first football game is to be held Saturday a week. The football games will be over by the end of November: then, boys' bas- ketball starts the eighth of January and on the tenth the 'prom' will be held at 'The Ritz' at nine-thirty-five, and you, Miss Landis, are invited-provided some poor sap asks you to go. Do you understand that? U OOOH-Ka-a-a-therineI called A , 1 , -47:4 Oh, yes! Katherine answered slowly. But the question in my mind is this, 'Where in the Senior class can one find two fellows who are popular, good-looking, and what have You?' Two? My gracious, Katherine, you don't need two, do you? Of course not: I was just being thoughtful, and you don't appreciate my kindness. ' Say, drawled Margaret, that is a thought. We don't even know who the captain of the football team is. Oh, well. we're sure of getting a couple of bids, and we can weed out the undesirable ones, and choose from the best. Yes, that's all well and good, but there are always a few outstanding fellows, and we want to get the best, don't we? We did last year. Yes, Kitten, you and I always get the best. I wonder if it's fair to the other girls. I've been thinking lately that it isn't. Whenever you or I get a crush on a fellow, all the other girls do, too, but we always manage to nab him. This time let's just let things slide and accept the first fellow who asks us. They had reached their sorority house and Katherine was laughing so uncontroll- ably that she sat down on the bottom step and managed to splutter, Oh, Peg, when you begin to get virtuous it's enough to make a person who knows you laugh him- self to death. And she went off into another peal of laughter. Margaret stood looking at her, and she smiled somewhat ruefully. I might have known it would do no good to become serious. Other people do it and sound logical, but when I try it sounds as though -er-a-it sounds as though I were in- sane. Anyhow, what's the use in being sensible? We get along just as well being foolish and giddy. Seventy- three H . I . mf -X V- f5 Qlf F??T'9'35 . Cxbv X-, My Tl-3231: x.f A ' , iff. ,FZ-rl ' tif , I Il lam lit la! Tl-IECADUCEUS Katherine was somewhat sobered now, and she said, What's wrong with you today? One minute you act as though you had a little, sense and the next you fly off on a tangent because you have. Everything's wrong: there isn't an eligible fellow in school, whimpered Margaret. Oh, forget itf' snapped Katherine. Come on: let's go down to Cooke's, the gang's there. She got up and put her arm through Margaret's and they sauntered off in the direction of the ice-cream parlor, where the elect of the school assembled after classes. Wlmen they reached Cooke's someone drew Margaret off to tell her something, and while they were talking Margaret left with Dorothy Thumser. About an hour later Margaret burst into their room and found Katherine hanging half out of one of the windows calling, Good-bye to some person below. Mar- garet was uncertain as to who it was until she heard a deep voice call, Good-bye, Katherine. Katherine turned around and saw Mar- garet and said, Oh, Margaret, I've decided who I want to take me to the 'prom'. So have I, said Margaret. Bob Carter! they both shouted in unison. The two girls looked at each other in amazement for a moment, then burst into peals of laughter, which brought several other girls to their room asking what on earth the matter was. But neither would tell why she laughed. After their friends had gone, Katherine said, We'll have a council of war. Shall We Hip a coin to see who gets him? Or shall we just let fate take its own course? Or shall we both go after him like every- thing and the best one win? I'm not certain what we ought to do, butvl do know that I'm not going to flip a coin, because that puts one of us out of and, she added our lmisery too quickly, with a sly wink, besides I never gamble- Seventy-four much. And letting fate take its own course is too slow and uncertain: so the only alternative is for both of us to go after him full steam ahead. H-m-m, said Katherine, that settles that: and to begin with, I'm going to Dot's party with him tonight. Oh, groaned Margaret, I might have known. . If you'd rather I wouldn't, I won't 'cause you know what happened when Mary and Corinne went after the same man: neither of them got him and the chase ruined their friendship. Yes, I know, but it would take more than a mere man to break up our friend- ship, wouldn't it, Kitten? Well, I-should-hope. . About six weeks later Margaret and Katherine were preparing, to go home for the Christmas holidays when Katherine, standing in the middle of the room, sur- rounded by trunks, suddenly declared, Honestly, I simply do not understand Bob Carter. Q Why? queried Margaret: because he hasn't yet asked you to the 'prom'? That, and moreg every time I get within half a mile of mentioning the 'prom' he closes up tighter than a clam. Perhaps he knows of your criminal in- tentions. For myself, I'm about tired of the whole situation, this trying with all one's might to get an invitation. Wouldn't the fellows be surprised if the girls just didn't care any more, didn't try to be liked or anything of that sort? Indeed they would, and I'll bet they wouldn't be pleasantly surprised, either. But what would be the use of that? It's our favorite pastime anyhow. At this moment Dorothy burst into the room and announced. 'Oh, girls, I warrant you can't guess who's basketball captain. Oh, I suppose Bob again. What little bird's been fibbing to you? No-I'm happy to say it isn't, she said gleefully, but added gloomily, It may as if .. , gray l f 'Sq?,q yLWglQ'Qq? s f N f' ,A law TI-IECADUCEUS well be, for it's his chum, Norman Guth- rre. That makes it nice, said Katherine after Dorothy had gone. Norman's folks live in our town and he's going home for Christmas: so you'll have a chance to be particularly nice to him. I will? Must I grow plain and ask thee why don't you speak for yourself, John? laughed Margaret. Well, anyhow, Christmas week will tell the tale. It's so nice to think that all of our gang live in the same place, Bob and Norman, too. Really, Peg, wouldn't you rather go with Norman? she asked slyly. Not on your tintype! I started out after Bob, and Bob it shall be-unless you get him first. The night after Christmas Dorothy gave a party, and of course Katherine, Margaret, Bob, and Norman were there. This was the iirst time that either Bob or Norman had attended a gang spread for a long time and Dot meant to get a bid to the prom from Norman: so she decided to wait until all the guests had arrived and then she'd call them all together and tell them that Norman was their basketball captain. ' At nine she stopped everything and an- nounced very ostentatiously, People, we have with us tonight two people who are to be congratulated and praised. The first. Bob Carter! Of course everyone knew Bob was famous and didn't understand why she should tell them all over again. They understood, however, when she proclaimed, As our second we have Norman Guthrie, our new basketball captain. Come here, Norman-darn it! I thought something would go wrong. Where is he? Katherine piped up rather weakly, I think I know where he is. Where? , they all questioned. Out on the veranda with Peg. This was followed with a series of I- rnight-have-known's on the part of the girls. About nfteen minutes'later Mar- garet was seen to enter the room-alone. All the girls rushed at her and asked in about a dozen diHerent ways where he was. But Margaret only smiled provok- ingly and turned to Bob, who was stand- ing behind her, and off they danced. 'Hmmmhlooks a mite suspicious, Kitten, murmured one of the girls. You'd better watch that young man or he might slip away from you when you need him most. The next day the gang was to meet at Margaret's and thence go for a sleigh-ride into the country. Bob was the first to arrive, and he and Peg were talking when Katherine entered the room. She heard Margaret say, Thanks, Bob, but you see I just can't. The next morning Katherine rushed over to Margaret's crying, Success, suc- cess--oh!-and more success! Margaret jumped up from her chair and threw her arms about her friend, He really asked You then? , 'she queried. Yes, oh yes-but what about you? I'Ve heard that Norman's already asked a girl to go. Yes, said Margaret nodding her head, I know he has: I'm the girl. You? Oh, my soul, miracles do happen! 1 And so the two most popular girls of Ogden College went to the Senior prom with the two most popular men, and Katherine never. even up to the present time, has learned that her most sincere friend refused Bob Carter's invitation to the prom and later accepted -Norman's.

Buss . 5' NE cold, dreary evening in March a skunk slowly pulled his lean form out of his comfortable winter 9 'i home. Late in the fall he had found this crevice in the rocks and had made a Winter home by scratching away the loose pebbles at the far end and care- fully replacing them with soft grass and leaves. Here he had slept curled up all winter, coming out only when his thirst became unbearable, to lick up a mouthful of snow and scurry back to his warm bed. This morning he again came out, but no longer had to force his way through a crust of ice. Spring was coming! He could smell it in the air and his lean body shook as the cold, damp wind struck it. Slowly, carefully he took a few steps from the door-way of his den, but he came slowly back, shaking each paw as he lifted it off the cold, muddy ground. He stopped at the door- way and held his nose high in the air and then went into his den again where, after licking his paws clean. he curled up and fell asleep. When he again poked his nose above the ground he did not hesitate, but crawled right out into the bright sunshine. How glad he was-sunlight, fresh air. after a long winter in a dark, narrow hole-and another season's adventures before him. But as he walked away his whole being The author and her pussy seemed to cry-food, food! Carefully he smelt the ground, stopping every now and then to prance expectantly with his two front paws on a clump of dried grass. Once he caught an adventurous lield mouse that had also come out. But this dainty morsel tended only to make his appetite more rav- enous. That night it T . -V was a tired, hungry skunk that once more crawled back into 'his winter den to try to sleep oif the hunger that was continually raging in his weary, sore body. He slept until the next morning, when again he walked over the hills and again came back to his den at twilight with an empty stomach. But this time he did not go into his den. He was by this time desperately hungry. It had been a hard winter and the field mice, crawfish, lizards, chipmunks, and other small animals had been frozen., and earth- worms were too far down in the ground. It was his last hope-the hen house of the farmer-which was at least a half a mile away. On his way he ate a fungus which happened to be near enough to the ground for him to reach. Carefully he crept through the chicken yard fence, and softly crawled under the hen house. Suddenly he stopped short, his sensitive nose trembling: someone had been there before him. Still more cautiously he crept, stopping every few steps, straining Seventy-seven l ls T H E C A D U C E US his eyes and ears for his foe. Foot by foot, yard by yard he crept, rounding old kegs, boxes and posts, Just as he crept around one of these posts, his sensitive nose caught the scent of a new object. There, facing him, was a large snow-white skunk stand- ing over a half-eaten rat. Quickly, without hesitating, the white skunk jumped on his enemy, his long, needle-like teeth bared and his little red eyes gleaming. They were not far from the edge of the hen house and as they rolled over and over tearing at each other with teeth and claws, squeaking at the top of their lungs, they rolled out from under the hen house and right to the edge of an old, dirty abandoned well. The white skunk. being older and larger, had the little black one well nigh beaten. They were tottering on the very brink of the well, and if the victor had not had such a tight hold on his enemy he surely would have fallen into the well. As they were in this precarious position, a great howl was heard and the farmer's large hound ap- peared, barking and howling at the top of his voice. Immediately the white skunk let his old enemy loose and turned to face this new and more dangerous one. Desperately .the little black skunk clung to the old boards that bordered the edge of the well, scratching and balancing himself with his tail. Hardly daring to breathe. he got one foot' over the top and then the other. He was carefully putting his head over when with a .snap the old, rotten board gave way and down, down he fell into blackness that not even his noc- turnal eyes could pierce. Over and over he turned, reaching desperately with his paws to stop his fall. Splash-down into the icy water he fell. Quickly he came -to the top, gasping for breath. Paddling with front and hind paws, he-kept on the sur- face. On reaching the side, he clung to the logs that lined the well. Then surely. steadily he climbed, using paws, teeth, and tail. After climbing about two-thirds of the way he could go no further. The icy water had cut like, salt into the fresh Seventy-eight wounds and penetrated to the bone. He pushed his tired, aching head into a narrow space between the logs and pulled his stiff body after him. The barking of the dog awakened the farmer and he rushed out of the house with a lantern. When he saw that it was only a skunk, he called Bob, the hound, and walked disgustedly away. All night the poor skunk lay cramped up into his little hole, trembling from cold and moaning from the pain of his fresh wounds, which were now covered with the dirty slime of the well water. About eight o'clock the next morning he could hear several voices, at lirst faintly and then louder and louder. The voices were those of a young man called Ed, and two girls. The young man leaned over the side of the well and tried to reach the little skunk's tail. I can't reach him, he said, and stood up again. The poor little skunk could hear the voices dying away. Soon, however, he heard them again. This time Ed slipped around the skunk's tail a loop of wire which had been tied on a pole. The little animal was too stiff and sore to light: so it was very easy to pull him up. Ed explained that if you carry a skunk by the tail you are safe. Even at this assur- ance, the girls kept a slight distance away, and thus' they walked down to the lake, which was but a short distance from the house. After dipping him in the lake several times to remove the dirty slime from his coat, they carefully placed him on the dock and stood around prepared for im- mediate flight. But the skunk was so Weak and cold that he could hardly stand. Gain- ing courage, they walked up to him and, as Ed came near, the skunk clung to his foot, which seemed a means of getting warm. , Can we keep him, Ed? pleaded one of the girls. f 1 - so l THE CADUCEUS Yes, if we can End a cage. We might use that old minnow box. Accordingly, the minnow box was pulled out of the lake and set in the sun to dry. They mended it while it was drying and then decided it would be safest to put Mr. Skunk in right away. After sprink- ling sawdust on the Hoor and putting a can of water in the corner they carefully placed the skunk inside. He curled up until they were gone and then sat up and carefully licked his sores clean and fixed himself a nest in the corner, He slept all that clay and the next night. The day after, his captors came again to feed him big, juicy frogs and were delighted to see him pounce upon them with his front paws and devour them. It did not take him long to get accustomed to coming out in the daytime, and he really enjoyed being so well fed. Then followed about a month's regular feeding and being played with. Forrby this time Mr. Skunk's captors were no longer afraid of him and would lie with their faces close up to the netting of his cage and poke the frogs toward him with slender sticks. One evening the skunk was taken out of his cage and put in a large can, which was tightly closed, and lifted into an automo- bile. The next morning, after a very tear- ful good-bye, the automobile containing the two girls, their parents, and Mr. Skunk drove away. To the frightened skunk it seemed that they drove for an indefinitely long time. When finally they reached their destination in a large city the skunk was placed in a large cage with several other skunks. Here. in contented captivity, he spent the re- mainder of his life, happy as he daily frolicked with friends of his own kind.

There is very slight variation in the commercial handling of the commodity in the two countries. In fact, only the phrase- ology of purchase is different. Over here a fellow saunters up to a stand and says. Gimme a dog wit mustard. In Merrie England it is more likely, Hi say, old chap, prepare me a sausage and roll, and apply a small amount of sauce to it, will you, old bean? That form of ground-meat with tights on that we know as the hot-dog orig- inated in Frankfurt, Germany falso der Wiener was by Vienna first und den herej and took its name from that place, but the hot-dog, which is really not the same thing, is American-born and takes its name from the great American slanguage, as George Ade has termed our vernacular. Of course, the composition of the is practically the same, a difference in cur- ing accounting for a slight difference: here's the big point: Your staid, respectable frankfurter may be boiled and eaten with that well-known product of cabbage-sauerkraut-but a hot-dog is not a hot-dog unless it is roasted on a grid-iron fnot the kind they play football onj and certain unwritten laws provide that it should be eaten standing up or in an equally informal manner. Pic- ture a scene: On any warm summer evening, an end- less stream of automobiles on all the roads leading out of the city, seek the cool, two but Eighty refreshing air of the country. At frequent intervals along the road there are small shacks of the type known as portable, brightly illuminated, and displaying signs which read: Bar-B-Q--Hot-dogs. A machine turns off the concrete and draws up before one of the stands. The driver, likely the head of the family, jumps out, and regardless of the prominently dis- played menu, asks, Watcha got? After some discussion an order is placed and then the fun begins. It is usually the ladies of the family who find the most trouble in handling a sandwich and bottle of soda while sitting in an automobile. Perhaps the men are more savage and used to crude methods. Anyway, while father and son munch contentedly and with apparent ease, the feminine contingent, mother and daughter, struggle desperately with their impromptu feast and four times out of every five Caccording to Forhan's principlej something is spilled on the dress in a vain endeavor to keep things organized. At outdoor affairs of all kinds, especially football games, baseball games, and picnics, the hot-dog has no equal in point of gen- eral usefulness. Seated in a huge open stadium, the wind howling, perhaps an icy rain or sleet falling, one can deeply appre- ciate a steaming hot-dog: in fact. a well- prepared dog is second only in importance to the game itself. And as for baseball games, there is noth- ing which fits in quite as well at an exhibi- tion of Usocking the horse-hide as a hot- dog. The dashing white figures of the players on the green of the field, the hoarse calls of the umpires, the raucous cries of the bleacherites, the endless chatter of the coaches, the white-coated boys with their cries of Coney-Island red-hots and f ,Q J . sip, ,. 1 Q T Tl TI-IECADUCEUS Sody here, all form a fitting background for the consumption of a hot-dog. Dig- nified business men, stenographers, labor- ers, and even school-teachers. preachers, and undertakers, indeed people from all walks of life, eat hot-dogs at basebell games. Some folks like to see a game that resolves into a pitchers' duel: some care for nothing but a slug-fest: while still others are satis- lied to see their favorite heroes perform, no matter how well or how badly, or perhaps to see some great fielding play: but all agree on the hot-dog as a fitting garnishment for any sort of contest. At the lodge or school picnic the hot-dog is ever-present. An affair of this kind is really not a success unless there is a large consumption of hot-dogs. And Wiener- roasts! Confidentially, that is the only reason why so many people don knickers in summer on the so-called day of rest and take to the open road. The hot-dog is not alone in its field. Various forms of barbecue and the hot tamale are closely allied to the hot-dog, but are not nearly as popular. At your favor- ite hot-dog stand may be found, together with the tamale, barbecued spare-ribs and pork-and-beef roast prepared in the same Way. A rib offers too many difficulties for eating on the wing, as it were, to attain a high degree of popularity. If you have ever stood with a nicely cooked spare-rib between two slices of bread, you know just how it is. Successfully to wrest the meat from the bones requires a plate, knife, and fork. Mere beef and pork, even though they are barbecued, are too com- monplace to patrons of a hot-dog stand because they are so often met with on the dinner table at home. The tamale, too, has its drawback. It is of Spanish origin and its acutely spicy flavor does not appeal to your American palate. But the hot-dog-that's the thing! The friend of everybody and everybody's friend. NOW THEY GO TO BEAUMONT There was an old woman Who lived in a shoe. She had a lot of children, But she knew just what to do.

C A D U C E U S FLIGHT By ELSA NIEHAUS NUMBER of emigrant wagons was slowly winding along the trail leading westward. Before them lay the valleys of California, golden under the setting sun: behind them rose the snow-capped Sierras. A .horse- back rider near the beginning of the train was smiling triumphantly to himself. It's a mighty good thing we got out of that town when we did, old boy, he said, pat- ting the horse's neck. Yessir, I sure pulled off that haul at the right time. Looking furtively about, he took out a large rolls of, bills, and handled it with great' satisfaction. As he did so, the sight of a child's face arose in his mind, and his smile changed to a frown, Presently he heard the sound of a horse's hoofs, and looking round, saw his son Dick approach- ing. He quickly hid the roll, and assumed an air of indifference. I've just been talking to Jane, began Dick, a clean-cut young man of about twenty-six. She says that she and her father intend to do some mission work among the miners. Not a bad idea, is it? Joe Bagby laughed scornfully. It'd be just like 'em to start somethin' like that, said he. Why, Dad, exclaimed the surprised Dick. Lately you seem to think every- thing they do is Wrong. The father, thinking that he had gone too far, said, Well, it's sure goin' to be pretty tough doin' mission work among the miners. Oh, I don't know about that, replied Dick, doubtfully. If the parson can't arouse any interest, Jane surely will. It sure seems like she's done that to you. said the older man, glancing slyly at his son. Dick blushed, and said nothing. 31 gf: Eighty-two In a wagon near the rear the Rev. Mr. Parker and pretty, young daughter, Jane, were discussing their plans. I think we had better go to a small town first, don't you, Jane? asked the minister. Jane agreed with him. The parson, a kind, good-natured man, always asked the advice of his sensible daughter, and she usually approved of what he said. It was she who astonished her father by proposing this journey to California with the rest of the emigrants. When, however, she ex- plained about the welfare and mission Work they could do, the minister was proud of his daughter, and it was decided that they go West. Just before the emi- grants left their home town in Kansas, the Stuarts, a well-known family in that town. had been robbed of a good deal of their money, and Margaret, a child of about ten years, had been seriously wounded by the robber. No one had been near at the time of the incident, and since the thief had left no trace behind him, the thing remained a mystery. It was at this time, also, that Joe Bagby and Dick planned to go to Cali- fornia: the father, because he said he wanted to look for gold: and the son, al- though he did not say it, because Jane was going. After some silence, Jane leaned toward her father, and said in a low tone, Dad, who do you think shot the child and stole that money from the Stuarts? The parson hesitated awhile, and then said, Have you noticed how Bagby-I mean the old man-has been acting lately? He avoids me, and speaks only when I have spolken first. Even then he says very ltt e. Now that you mention it, I can say there seemslto .be something wrong with him, replied Jane. Then in sudden ' f- 7?Cr:JH'f'e- V- W - ' ' we --1, w W TI, - 2 ,.lT',a' ,. I T9 . ,, M l THE CADUCEUS anxiety she asked. But surely you don't suspect him? I don't like to say it, but I do, how- ever, there is little evidence except his char- acter, which is none too good. You don't think Dick is like him, do you, Dad? Jane asked. She tried to make her question casual, but failing badly and blushing, turned her head aside. The minister noticed her embarrassment, and smiled to himself. I think Dick is a line boy, Jane. He inherits his qualities from his mother, who, fortunately, lived to bring him up till he was able to take care of himself. - A little later, the Parkers were very much surprised to see four men on horse- back approaching swiftly from behind. The leader they recognized as James Stuart, the brother of Margaret. He was Dick's bitter rival for Jane, and thus was not a particular friend of Dick. James rode up to the wagon and de- frnanded, Where's Joe Bagby and that son of his? Jane immediately became very much alarmed, and exclaimed. Why? What's happened? Tell us quickly! Are they still in the train? asked the leader again, ignoring Jane's questions. Yes, that is, they were ten minutes ago, said Parker calmly. Stuart looked carefully about, and then, ordering the other men to stay a little behind, said, Well, then, I guess We can take time to explain. Margaret became conscious after we had given up hope of saving her life. She told, in a vague way, however, how Bagby took the money, and shot her as she entered the room. We can't stop for details now. Come on, boys, we'll get those fellows yet. He had watched Jane as he was speak- ing, and seemed satished when she became 'very pale, He had asked for both father and son. Had Dick anything to do with it? she thought. The men went quickly ahead, however, and left no time for ques- tions. Joe Bagby, still near the front and always on the lookout, saw the men before they reached the last wagon, and imme- diately guessed his fate. He had not told Dick of the crime, and did not intend to. He knew time was extremely precious, but he would risk almost anything to get Dick off with him. Rushing over to his son, he Whispered hoarsely, Dick, do you love your ol' dad enough to risk your life fer him? He spoke in such a tone that Dick was deeply touched, and he answered, Why, Dad, I hope you have no doubt of such a thing. The older man's voice changed. Grab your stuff as fast as you can and follow me, he commanded. Without giving Dick time to speak, he-said casually to those in the iirst wagon, We're goin' ahead a bit, and rode on. As soon as Dick had caught up with him, and they were pretty far in advance of the wagons, Bagby rapidly increased his speed, and shouted to Dick to do the same. Soon the wagons were left far behind. As it grew dark the trail became hard to follow and their speed slackened. Joe was so agitated and eager to get ahead, that he .would not think of camping for the night. At the beginning of the flight, they had heard the sound of hoofs far behind at intervalsg lately, however, this had ceased. They had outdistanced their pursuers. Dick had been, very curious to know the meaning of this seeming madness, and he kept silent only for the reason that his father would not answer him. Dick won- dered what Jane would think of him when she learned that he and his father had dis- appeared. This worried him, and he be- came very thoughtful. The older man at length broke the silence. Ain't we supposed to be comin' to a town 'pretty soon? he asked.

Soon after Dick said this, they could see several small lights far ahead. After awhile Joe muttered under his breath, It'll be just as safe to stay there as any place else. They won't think we'd risk goin' near a town. Dad! What on earth are you talking about? exclaimed the bewildered and very much alarmed young man. Guess I'll have to tell you, said Bagby very reluctantly. It took him quite a while to produce the roll of bills, and when he did so, all he could manage to say was HS1Z113I'II'S.n Poor Dick knew all too quickly what it meant, but it took him a while to compre- hend the situation. The child, too? he asked, fearfully. His father nodded. Terrible thoughts rushed through Dick's mind. He imagined his father and himself caught. He tried to think what Jane would think when she heard of it. Neither spoke until they arrived at the town. It was now very late, and the place seemed deserted, for the lights they had seen at a distance had diminished to a few lanterns hung in several buildings. Only the inn seemed to have life about it. Noisy gamblers could be seen in the large room seated around tables on which were piles of money. We'd be crazy staying here tonight, said Joe. We'd better camp out of town. He and Dick took a road north, and not far from the outskirts of the town came to a good-sized hill. Joe said that even though the posse had little chance of find- ing them, they had better camp behind the hill. After making the fire, father and son ate the food that Joe had brought along. Dick did everything mechanically. Al- Eighty-four though he had recovered from the bewil- derment which he had experienced for quite a while, he was very weary from the long exertion, and soon fell asleep. The older man stayed awake. His thoughts drifted back to his wicked deed, and he shuddered as he looked at Dick, who lay there looking so innocent, for he realized now how proud he should be of this boy and how ashamed Dick had a right to feel to be the son of such a father. His name will be a black mark on his fine character, and Jane will not have him, thought the father. For the first time in his life, Joe Bagby thought of the destiny of his son. The resolve to free Dick's name from shame took hold of him, and before he went to sleep he had made up his mind. When Dick awoke the next morning at dawn, he did not at first remember the events of the previous day, but soon they flashed into his mind, and he turned to look for his father. Neither his father nor his father's horse was anywhere to be seen. Near him he discovered a roll of bills, on which was pinned a note, with Joseph Bagby's signature, saying that Dick had nothing to do with the crime, and that he begged Dick's forgiveness. Dick was at iirst astonished, and then very much alarmed. Had his father fled? If so, where? Perhaps he had just gone back to the town. But why had he left the note? With the hope that his father had gone back, Dick set out for the town. The houses were rudely constructed, and had few windows. The streets were muddy and not very wide, but in the atmosphere of the place there was much life, the hotel, as usual, being the center of interest. When Dick came up to the inn he saw James Stuart and his men talking to the inn- keeper. He rode straight up to them and said pleasantly, Hello, Stuart. .The men were taken completely by sur- prise, and d1dn't make a move. James' first question was, Where's your dad? an 'T ' Hi a QQ g THECADUCEUS Dick produced the money and the note. Stuart was disappointed. Dick had been proved innocent too soon for him. As the posse made ready to leave, Dick asked where they were going. Stuart replied, We've got to do our duty. Then they started north at a fast pace. In great anxiety Dick awaited the arrival of the Parkers, who came ahead of the others. Jane was very happy to see him, but she soon became silent and grave. What's the matter. Jane? he asked. She hung her head, and almost whis- pered, Forgive me, Dick, for having doubted you. Of course, dear, if you'll say I won't have to be jealous of James any more. The next day Stuart and his men came back more sorrowful than disappointed. They brought the news that Joe Bagby had been killed in a landslide not far from the town. eiiiiigfiv , ' ,wh-ala.

With a snap the marble sped through the ring, carrying with it three glasses and a pewee to the outside. Three awed sets of eyes and open mouths turned toward Mick McCarney, champion marble shooter, ball hitter, and hookey player of the school. In unison they drew a sigh of admiration, watching again as, freckled face drawn into tragic aspect, red hair over drawn brow, he knelt to send the remaining marbles after their predecessors. He can't be beat, murmured the three to each other. Why, lissen here, I betcha when he starts to high school, he'll be the champeen everything. Why, he'll lick all ,them guys. So was Mick McCarney's future pre- dicted. - , September third began Mickis career in high school. With shoes polished to a mirrored effect, shirt starched to the second degree, and one of those rakish red and white spotted ties flaunting under his chin. he enrolled. It was all rather breath-tak- ing at first when he couldn't quite get the hang of those crazily numbered rooms and then that guy selling him that locker when everyone else got theirs free. Oh, well- that guy just didn't know who he was dealing with. Say, if he only knew he was a foolin' with a champeen. Mick's red head nodded angrily. But things didn't run so smoothly for McCarney. He struggled through all his classes, but in civics his trials proved the most trying. Why in the world they should make him study about civic im- provements, water works, and such utter bosh was more than Mick could see. Then to sit right behind a girl who giggled at all the mistakes he made Cwhich were manyj Eighty-six didn't improve matters any. Besides, she wasn't the kind of a girl you'd imagine giddy. Heretofore girls had been com- pletely out of Mick's viewof life, ,but this one was different. Elaine her name was, real name that, sort of willowy sounding. Somewhere back in grammar school he had lrleaddabout a fair Elaine with a lily in her an -. Mr. McCarney, rasped the teacher's voice. p With a jolt he sat upright. For three successive times I've called your name. Will you please give me your complete attention and quit allowing your mind to wander? Name one safety device used on factory machines. Hesitatingly Mick got to his feet, face puckered into deep thought. Er---ah---, his weight shifted from one foot to the other. From the front seat rose an un- mistakable giggle. He made one last des- perate attempt. Quickly his mind went over the question. Factory machines- weren't they just like other machines and hadn't his Dad said just the other night that if that crazy Jones fellow had any thought of safety whatsoever he'd have had those brakes adjusted and avoided having to appear in court? Mick's eye brightened and his voice came loud and clear. Emergency brakes. That which had previously been a sup- pressed giggle burst into a peal of laughter, rapidly increasing in volume as the rest joined in. Slowly the red mounted from Mick's freckled chin to the roots of his red hair and they became as one. Resent- fully his eye turned on the cause of all his trouble. He seated himself angrily as the recitation continued. Well, he had been mistakeng she wasn't differentg she was just like all the rest of 'em. But just wait: lil li. 1 It- ,I l, Tl-IEJCADUCEUS she'd iind out. Guess she didn't know she was a foolin' with a champeen. With the passing of Thanksgiving came the basketball season and foremost among those training to make first freshman team was McCarney. With a set purpose he studied the most intricate parts of the game, learning to pass the ball quickly and ac- curately, sending it with unfailing sureness into the basket. The day before their first game that night the team were introduced to the school. At one end stood the captain, big and brawny. At the other end stood McCarney, bright hair contrasting vividly with the lemon yellow of his trunks. He was the smallest man on the team and his number, thirteen. The games came and Went, and with the last game the tie for championship between the freshmen of the two schools of the north and east side. The auditorium was packed to overflowing. Colors of the two schools waved and intermingled as the ex- cited students sent forth cheer after cheer for their team. The game was a strenuous one and the players' breath came in gasps. Two more minutes to play, and the score stood 7-72' The ball flashed from one end of the floor to the other. McCarney, sweat streaming from his brow, followed. Then as it rose for the other basket he leapt, and turning with the quickness of a cat, sent it soaring from the middle of the floor into the basket. Q Wildly the students cheered, taking him on their shoulders and carrying him up and down the aisles. Proudly Mick's head lifted and his eye glistened. Well, at last these guys realized him for what he was, a champeen. In the hall outside Elaine met him, her face glowing with admiration. Her voice came eagerly, the words deep and low. My, I never dreamed you were so great -Mick's face softened. After all he had been rightg she was different.

Mfg-Q G. HE title page of this book an- nounces The'Grandmothers. A Family Portrait. And then, de- ' ' ' spite the apparent diiliculty of the task, the remainder of the book proceeds to live up to that appellation. For The Grandmothersn is a portraitqa realistic masterpiece of a picture, with depth and color and background. Here one sees, through the eyes of a grandson, the tragic, the sorrowful, the occasionally happy lives of the past genera- tions of the Tower family-a people who, it seems, were born to struggle mightily, to suffer much, and to achieve little. All the characters-Grandfather Henry Tower. son of a pioneer, chopping a home for his family out of the Wisconsin wilderness: great-uncles Hilary and Leander, soldiers in the Civil War: Uncle Evan, deserter during the Spanish-American War: the minister: the farmers: the dreamer, the school teacher: and the patient, long suf- fering wives and mothers-are true-to-life folk out of the yesterday of America. However, if you are of the class that demand constant action! action! action! in its reading, you may not like this book. The Grandmothersn is a slowly moving, studied, carefully wrought story with a wealth of delicately painted detail. and fre- quent pauses for thought and considera- tion. There is nothing startling, sudden, or extraordinary in it: the episodes in the lives of its characters are events which might happen to anyone. which probably have occurred many times in the lives of such people as are herein depicted. And in that very realism and adherence to the commonplace lies, We believe, the great charm of The Grandmothersf' Gallions Reach by H. M. Tomlinson fHarper'sj , wherein Mr. Tomlinson gives one a remarkably vivid insight Cif you care for such thingsj into the workings of his hero's mind, together with occasional flashes of his soul. The story itself is a rambling, fairly interesting affair that takes you to Gallions Reach, an unpretentious, unimportant place somewhere in London, and from there into a series of adventures on the sea and in the Malayan jungles. All this makes up a rather loosely connected chain of events having a tendency to become heavy and somewhat foggy in spots. But you should persevere through those spots, for there are several passages in the book- that stirring shipwreck which you can almost see, the harrowing climax in the jungle, and certain paragraphs relating in realistic detail a man's hidden thoughts- which make some interesting and worth- while reading in Gallions Reach.

VOICES OF NIGHT By MARY LOUISE HEINEMANN A crackling of ash in the dying-out fire, And the wind taking up the refrain, Whz'le the voices of night cast a spell o'er my mind, Bringing thought-dreams from some foreign plane. Sometimes grim ghosts' conversations I hear In the creak of the floor or the stair, And it seems I'm the only one they are whispering about As they solemnly judge me there. It may be an angel, whose warning I hear As I sit all alone, deep in thought, But my soul is incased in a body of clay Anal does not hear the words as it ought. Perhaps at some time in the future now dim My soul will receive a great light, And I may have the power to interpret the words That I hear in the voices of night. A 3' 2 f 'ti3t' sf I H 1 ss.

And landing on a neighbor's shining dome, Made his senses wander far from home. Said I, I think that it is time . The old gray fence I start to climb. Alas. on a nail I caught my dress, I stopped to free it, but ne'er the less It held fast, and I saw. 'tis true, My 'neighbor coming with a man in blue. Halt there! the cop so sternly cried, But I couIdn't run even if I tried. I will not state what then occurred, Or what my dad said when he heard The cheerful words, Ten dollars fine, Your daughter broke a window of mine. But now I ue learned it isn't nice To shatter windows-let it suffice To say that again I'll never dare To bat a baseball into the air. J: THE LITTLE CLD GRAMIVIAR CApo1ogies to Eugene Pieldj By MARY SAWYER The little old grammar is covered with dust, And has a neglected look. The little old pen is covered with rust, And lies there beside the book. There was a time when the grammar was new, And the pen had been handled with care, But that was before our Betty LaRue, Frowned as she flung them there. I'm through with you, you old book and pen, I'm through with this struggle and strife. So she frowned and flung them there, and then, Sought more thrilling things in life. Thus the little old grammar lies on the shelf. There 'twill lie for many years more, Because our Betty LaRue, herself, Sews buttons in a clothing store.

The dew lay heavy on the hay But sparkled on the daisy. Ah, lowly flower, with petals white, Who made thee, pretty daisy? What makes thee nod in morning light, My sweet, alluring daisy? Methinks the great Creator's love Reflects in thee, my daisy: The Father of us all. above, Has decked thee, lovely daisy. Thus every flower and shrub and tree Is like my graceful daisy.

On this day we want especially to remember the men, and women, too, who were ready for service when their country called. We can never forget their heroism and their sacrifice: but we need only to look over the list of America's wars-the Revolution, the War of l8l2, the Civil War. the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War and the World War-to see that there were far too many. It is now our duty to serve our country in maintaining the peace which was so bravely gained in the last great war. The glamor lingers after the misery and suffer- ing has faded away, and we need to remem- ber not only the glorious deeds done and the victories won, but also the sorrowing families, the broken homes, the starving children, the ravaged countries, and the horrible destruction that prevailed in Eu- rope in l9l9. Let us turn from this tumult and chaos to the future. which can be peaceful and prosperous only if every citizen, especially every boy and girl grow- ing to maturity, will determine to serve his country by outlawing war. EDUCATION By RUTH ZIMMERMAN . - HE Senior class of June, 1928, totals one hundred and thirty I ' 1 members, as compared with the January class of 1927, with only eighty-five. Beaumont is not the only school which is growing rapidly. Cleve- land, Roosevelt, Central, and Soldan also show substantial increase. Wash- ington and St. Louis Universities, too, have had larger enrollments each year. There must be a reason for this growth. Evidently people are paying more attention to education, and are seeing how essential education is to the young and ambitious American. if .- its ,S ,Kwai People in moderate circumstances are now sending their children at least through the high schools. Formerly only the chil- dren of the rich and idle spent as much as eleven or fifteen years going to school. In early times they usually went to England, or paid private tutors. lf we contrast conditions some decades past with the present conditions, we shall readily appreciate the present schooling system. Let us take, for example, the con- ditions in the New England States, which were the most progressive of all. Some decades past very few children even finished eight grades. After conclud- ing their school days, the boys usually 'fol- lowed the trade of their father. The main reason for this was that it was easier to follow their father's trade than launch out into a new one. Only the genius started out for himself and accomplished some great work. These, however, were few and-far between. As for the girls, they had less chance for education than the boys. When the girls could sew, weave, and do One Hundred One THE CADUCEUS SALES CAMPAIGN ' lv 1. K- if Q EMA xqf?

In a few years they became housewives, and re- mained so for the rest of their lives. Not until the early part of the eighties did women begin to take an active part in civic aifairs, education, and wage-earning. It has taken education to bring the American industrial field to the present point of advancement and it will continue to take more. Education has inspired pro- gress and made our men and women suc- cessful. Whatever vocation you intend to follow, see that you are prepared for it by education. By MARVIN SCHNELLER HE Caduceus sales campaign ex- tended over a period of ten days. Tickets were sold for fifty cents during the campaign, and after it for seventy-live cents. The Caduceus costs the student less than the semi-annual of any other St. Louis High School, which makes it a real bargain to the students of Beaumont as well as a treasured memento of school days. The Caduceus sales amount to over ninety per cent of the students present in the following rooms: Per Room Term Cent Mr. W. E.

One speaker compared the Caduceus to a daily newspaper, having its news, comic, edi- torial, sport, and advertising sections. The Caduceus staff greatly appreciates the co- operation which it received from the teach- ers and these students. BEHIND THE SCENES By ELSA NIEHAUS I F you have ever done any book- keeping, clerical, or stenographic work, that is, real work, you will ' ' f' appreciate fand if you haven't, as a patron of this Caduceus you ought to ap- preciatej the fine work done by the busi- ness secretary, Georgetta Blettner, and the typists, Ruth Zastrow, Dorothy Mast, and Gertrude Beyer. Probably few realize what it means to devote all the time in your study periods, and stay after school, to copy and file ads, arrange them and the names of solicitors alphabetically, take in money for One Hundred Two the tickets and do the banking, take in the tickets and help give out the Caducei, and prepare the dummy for ads and jokes, as our secretary has done. The typists have done the vast amount of work not only neatly and accurately, but have been most prompt in returning the manuscripts, and have expressed willingness to do more. Unfortunately, work of this kind is not recognized and accredited as other work for the Caduceus, but is equally important, and much of the success of this issue is due to the excellent cooperation on the part of our typists and the business secretary. - El Tl-IECADUCEUS OUR CI-IEER LEADERS V 'By NORBERT TRAMPE gg kg, packages. Beaumonts cheer leaders are indeed small, but they cc i no go over big. They are William Peters and Joe Meisel, as you probably know. Bill, because of his good looks and winning ways, leads the rah's on the girls' side of the auditorium, while Joe, being more experienced, takes the boys in hand. They have been very loyal to the school and have led us in cheers at almost all events. At the pep meetings, for instance, they put so much spirit, vigor, and vitality into the students that they give off sparks all the rest of the day. Bill and Joe will be with us for at least two more years, something we can be thankful for: but after they are gone, who will succeed them? One of our honorable ff RECIOUS'things come in small wal leaders suggests that we have more cheer leaders. A school the size of Beaumont should have at least four to lead us in cheers. We should not wait until they graduate to think about it, but We should let someone gain experience and prepare to take their places. Other smaller schools in St. Louis have more cheer leaders than we: some even have girls. Beaumont should have more leaders, who can work in shifts so that we will have some to lead us in cheers at every kind of game. Girl cheer leaders have been suc- cessful in other schools: surely Beaumont, which has a larger student body to choose from, has some girls who would be willing to try out. l Rah! Rah! Rah! Beaumont! SCHOOL SPIRIT By MARVIN SCHNELLER EAUMONT'is to be commended for the spirit shown during the past football season. The team A' had better support by the students than any other public high school of St. Louis. Yet this spirit declined during the basketball season and even at the St. Louis district tournament, which was Won by Beaumont, the team was not supported as well as other teams were. Now the baseball and track season is at hand. Beaumont has as good a baseball team as any of the other public high schools! The team is out to win another cup and has excellent chances of doing so. The jinx, broken by our basketeers, is not apt to take effect on the teams. Q The track team is going strong and has already won several meets, This team needs as much support as any of the others and we should see the Beaumont student body turn out in full force on the annual field-day, held at the stadium on May 25. Cheer the team on to victory. At the dis- trict field meet, held at Taylor Field, the Seniors came in second of the city schools and fourth of all those competing. The results of this meet are encouraging and give us hope for a line showing at the an- nual field meet. No loyal Beaumont student should miss it.

' One Hundred Five THE STUDENT COUNCIL ' fig .'. 5 gl ef ?.',',,f-. 1 ,. . , Koy,g , THE CADUCEUS THE STUDENT COUNCIL By MARION JOSTEDTL PLASH! A pebble dropped into a T pig! quietpool. Look at those widen- ing circles and notice how pleas- ! one antly they disturb the leaves that have fallen from the overhanging trees. The leaves seem to be enjoying the sooth- ing motion, but the pebble, its origin, has entirely disappeared. That pebble might be called the Student Council: the pool, the school: and the leaves, the student body. The Student Council's only public splash is its appear- ance before the student body. The ripples are the many things the Council does for the school which the students enjoy with- out quite knowing who planned and arranged them. Just as the pebble sinks out of sight, the Council works unseen in solving school problems. This group has many unique situations placed before it which the chairman, Janet Mangold, and vice-chairman, Leavell Riddick, are admirably able to handle with the assistance of the Pep, Auditorium, Re- ception, Traflic, and Kick Committees. Although Mr. Fuller allows the Council many privileges of decision, he advises and directs them in all their problems. This representative group has striven during the term to serve Beaumont adequately, and will feel gratified if this has only partly been accomplished. DANCING CLUB By ALBERTA MEYER ' A ANCING, which has been called the beautiful side of physical edu- cation. is a widely recognized f H means of developing gracefulness and ease of carriage. Since grace and ease are desirable assets for any girl to possess. the need of an organization which would develop these inspired the reorganization of the Dancing Club at the beginning of this semester. The following oliicers were elected: ' 1 I Student Council Rep ........, Mildred Boring President .........,............. , ........

The girls give Miss Amend their hearty co-operation and are always willing to work hard learning new steps. Although our meetings are not very long, they are interesting, lively, and great fun. This year the Dancing Club is intro- ducing a new feature, a party at one of our meetings. We are all looking forward to this event with the greatest eagerness. If it IS a success, as it undoubtedly will be, it will probably become an established event for every term.

HE Mothers' Club was organized at the request of Mr. Fuller several years ago. Fifty-six ladies attended Hill' the first meeting on April 25, 1924 at Yeatman High School. Since Beaumont has been opened the name of the organization has been changed from Yeat- man to Beaumont Mothers' Club, and the meetings are now held in Room 302 at 2:45 every first Tuesday of the month. The purpose of the organization is to establish an acquaintance between the friends and faculty of the school, and by means of lecturers, debates, papers, etc., to increase the educational work done at Beaumont. The program usually consists of a lec- ture upon a subject interesting and profit- able to mothers, given by some intelligent man or woman, and toward the close of every meeting Mr. Fuller tells the members what is going on in school and confers with them about their children and the work of the Club. After the meeting, the members have a social hour in the lunch room. Coffee and cake are served and the members become acquainted with each other in a very short time. Besides promoting education, the Moth- ers' Club is very useful to the school in procuring things for Beaumont, not fur- nished by the Board of Education. The organization also helped the sufferers from the recent tornado here by donating fifty dollars to the Red Cross. The present oflicers of the Club are as follows: President .,.,...............,.... Mrs. A. F. Weeke Vice-President ,..,................., Mrs. M. Holt Secretary ...........,........ Mrs. Theo. H. Mohr Treasurer .......... t ,........... Mrs. J. P. Barzen The Mothers' Club now boasts of more than three hundred and fifty members. The dues are fifty cents a year, and any lady, whether she is the mother of a boy or girl in school or not, is eligible to join. Surely, no one will shirk an opportunity to help her children, to be of use to the school, and at the same time to enjoy the programs and the social hour. FATI-IERS' AND SONS' NIGHT By GEORGE PARNELL HE third annual I-Tathers' and Sons' Night, which is given by the Boys' Athletic Association in H' order to stimulate an interest of the father in his son and in athletics brought many Beaumont boys and their fathers to the auditorium on the evening of April 27. The orchestra played a number to begin the program. Then a moving picture, Slide, Kelly, Slide, was shown. The picture showed that team work wins base- ball games and that an individual, no mat- ter how good a player he may be, can ruin the team work of a team and cause it to lose games if he is hated by the other play- ,ers on the team. After each reel of the picture, speeches, music, or singing aiforded entertainment, while Mr. Valentin, who operated the moving picture machine, got ready to show the next reel. Short and interesting talks were given by Mr. Fuller, Mr. Huntington, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Kirk, Mr. Hill, Mr. Rucker, and Mr. Schaefer, the president of the Patrons' Association. The orchestra and some of the Glee Club boys contributed the music. V After the end of the picture, coffee, sandwiches, cake, and ice cream were served in the lunch room. All the fathers and sons seemed to enjoy this immensely. Many boys were heard saying that if they had known that such entertainment and food wire given for buying a twenty-five cent membership ticket of the Boys' Athletic Association and the discounts on sporting goods bought through the Association, they would have joined that organization long ago. One Hundred Nine B CLU YS' GLEE BO THE F THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB By RICHARD BARTHEL i CU probably saw and heard the if operetta, The Dragon of Wu Poo, given by the two glee clubs. i As this goes to press we are hard at work, and expect the production to be as great a success as the one last year. Under the efficient direction of Miss McLaughlin and Mr. Saeger, we look for great things. This is just one thing which is being done by the club, although it takes up most of our time. A quartet was organized to sing in the auditorium during one of the pep sessions. These four fellows also entertained the boys and their fathers on Dads' Night. At the end of each term a party is given. This is the reward for the hard work of the fellows. We were unable to get a day for the party last term, but we plan to make up for it this term. The group also presents the hard workers with a club letter. We were very busy at the beginning of the term, and so the election of oflicers was somewhat delayed. The delay, however, gave the boys time for careful consideration :' 'H C 4 Q. r vu TQJ and the results of the election were quite favorable.

Student Council Repre- sentative Much of the success of our club is the result of the hard work of our sponsor and also our pianist, who is Miss Marie Weidle. We are greatly indebted to her for the iine work she has done during the term. We also wish' to commend Paul Rasche for helping at the piano at various times. Although our sponsor, Mr. Saeger, for- got to be present for the taking of the pic- ture, he never forgets the meetings. . He was probably deep in thought planning a new stunt for us, at which he is very capable and clever. If you like to sing, and can, you should join the Glee Club and let off some of the excess steam which often gets you into trouble in the classroom: and at the same time be of service to your school.

June: Alice Hannegan is our Secretary and Olga Hohengarten is Treasurer and- May: Marion Jostedt is our Student Council Representative, and Frances Wolf and Margaret Carriere are our Librarians. June: Frances serves in the double ca- pacity of librarian and pianist. All of our oflicers are splendid. But our sponsor is the one who makes our work interesting. Miss McLaughlin teaches us how to sing and directs all our work. Augusta: What do you sing? May: Oh. we sing the most delightful songs-about dragons and the like. You see this term we have been concentrating all our efforts in preparation for the Senior operetta, The Dragon of Wu Fu, pre- sented in May. Miss McLaughlin has been teaching us the prettiest dances for this operetta and Miss Willemsen has as- sisted us greatly by designing our costumes and working out color schemes. June: This term some of us are going to sing in the graduation chorus. Augusta: Won't that be grand! Your club surely sounds interesting. June: Oh, but that isn't all. 'In De- cember we had our annual party, and did we have fun? We each invited a guest, so you know what a jolly time we had. At the party we had balloons and--well, everything that goes to make up a success- ful party. Augusta: I'd like to join the Glee Club. Do you suppose I could? f June: Of course. We'll be glad to have you. Invite your friends, who sing well and who are fourth term students or over to join also. May: Do join, Augusta. We will have such fun. Never again will you be sad or gloomy. Not all the zeros in the world can make you sad if you sing. Sing and be happy! Augusta: That's it! Music is the key to happiness. fExeunt May, June, and Augustaj Curtain.

One Hundred Seventeen OT THE WITENAGEM GE WITENAGEMOT By GEORGE PARNELL .5 AVE you ever been .engaged in an argument? The answer must be in the affirmative. Did you suc- ceed in proving that you were right? How did you accomplish it? There are various ways of inducing your opponent to submit to your views. The primitive method of settling disputes be- tween countries was war, of settling dis- putes between individuals, hand-to-hand confiict. But the latter method is rapidly being eliminated because the right is not always, in such cases, upheld. The modern method of settling disputes is to debate the question-arbitration. If you have been in high school for more than two years, you are eligible to join the Wit- enagemot and learn how to convince your opponent by convincing others that you are right. An important event in our spring club work is the Boys' League Debate. This term it took place on March 23rd. Beau- mont's afiirmative team, Dan Rosenberg, Fred Cracchiolo, and Herman Ringwald, met Cleveland's negative team here at Beaumont, while our negative team, Paul Doran, Joe Getlin, and George Parnell, was matched with Roosevelt's affirmative team. The proposition was Resolved: That the United States should adopt the Cabinet Form of Government. Although our teams did not win. the decision resulted in a very close margin in both cases. We are now looking forward to the Or- atorical Contest at Washington University on April 20th. The two orators chosen to represent our school are Virginia Craft and Herman Ringwald, both of the Witen- agemont, whose members, therefore, take a particular interest in this event. The officers of our Club for this term are as follows: Student Council Rep- resentative .,...............,.... Janet Mangold President ............,............. Norbert Trampe Vice-President ..,.,. ....... M argaret Kamp Secretary ...,....,....,...,...... Olga Hohengarten Treasurer ,.............,......... Marvin Schneller Caduceus Correspondent ,..... George Parnell Librarian ..,...............,..,......., . Rosella Dodt We hold our meetings in Room 318 on alternate Tuesdays. Come in some time and talk with our sponsors, Miss Col- well and Miss Rifkin. You may have unsuspected ability which the Debating Club can bring out. The Witenagemot, like most of the other clubs, has a club letter, which is given to any member who makes one hundred points in work in the society. In addition, a school B is awarded each member of a team engaging in the regular league debates. Of course, debating is the object of most of our attention, but our program also in- cludes a social meeting. Every term we give a party. This time it will be given in Fairgrounds Park with the Writer's Club. Much more could be said about the Witenagemot, but the best way to learn the facts is to come to a club meeting. One Hundred Nineteen I STENOC-RAPI-IY CLUB By RUTH KUHLMANN U HERE, I am glad that's over with, said Claire as she snapped shut her shorthand notebook. I l That night when everything in the house was still, a wail was heard coming from the notebook that had been so unceremoniously closed. Soon the wail had awakened all the strokes in the short- hand book from a much needed rest. Why all this noise, you little imp? asked the triple-length stroke as he stretched himself out to his full length and yawned. Oh, I am so mistreated! I am always being put in the wrong position. Oh, it is so humiliating! I can't stand it any longer, wailed the little half-length stroke. Well, that's no reason for disturbing our sleep, angrily replied the word-sign. Oh, I wouldn't get as angry as all that, returned the dash. You know, if more of these stenography students would One Hundred Twenty join the Stenography Club, I believe we should not be so cruelly mistreated. I've heard about the Stenography Club: can you tell me some more about it? asked the double-length stroke. Oh, yes, answered the dash, I know all about it. Tell us about it, cried all the strokes. Well, it is just like this. The Stenog- raphy Club was formed so that the students would learn more about us and learn how to write us correctly. They have short- hand games and contests. Membership is open to third and fourth term stenography students. The dues are fifty cents per term. Letters are awarded for earning a certain number of points. Pins can be bought, which merely signify membership in the club. I also heard about the wonderful party they had the other day. Some one told me they just had loads of fun. Who sponsors it? inquired the single- length stroke. I 1 IU ga is ink 153, emi 1 ,kggjya AQZQWQ . I ,Q tj' ,T ,,f?'f4f5 I I in U J' Swsllgl' X- ll K W THECADUCEUS I was just coming to that.

It's still quite dark and I must have my rest, said the triple consonant. Same here, said the dash. Soon all was quiet again, for the short- hand strokes had gone back to sleep.

Mr. Mitchell has been sponsor of the club since its origin and has always worked faithfully in its interest. Through his ef- forts it has progressed rapidly and now has a limited membership of about thirty. The club meets on Friday afternoons at 2:35. All students who have taken or are taking any scientific subject, are eligible for membership, although the more advanced science students are preferred. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: Student Council Rep- resentative ,..i......,......,.,...,.. Otto Wolter President ...........,.......,...... Arthur Esslinger Vice-President ................,. Norbert Trampe Secretary ....,......... Mary Louise Heinemann Treasurer A.,.....,.............,... Forrest Boecker Caduceus Correspondent Schneller Librarian ........,,................ Gus Oppermann The program committee consists of Herman Ringwald and Otto Braun. Various interesting talks have been given. Some of the'most interesting were Big Guns Used in the World War, Meth- ods Used to Save the Leaning Tower of Pisa, The New Telescope Reflector Made in the United States. Mr. Mitchell succeeded also in getting one of the chemists of the Laclede Gas Light Company to come and to explain the principles and construction of the gas refrigerator. All science students and teachers of Beaumont were invited to at- tend this lecture. Mr. Wilson, the chem- ist, gave a very interesting explanation of the refrigerator, demonstrating some of the principles. Those who attended did not regret being there, and those students who were not there missed something which would have been of great benefit to them. The club plans to take several trips to various factories of scientific interest. Ef- forts are being made to take a trip to the Kilgen Organ, Ford Motor, or Illinois Glass Company plants. A trip was taken to the Bell Telephone Company. We saw various types of telephones of modern and bygone days. After seeing how busy the operators are, one surely cannot become angry when he happens to get the wrong number. We also saw the mechanism of the dial switchboards and their complicated working. A pin is awarded to all members who make fifty points and a guard to those who make one hundred points. The following members were awarded pins last year: Otto Wolter Max Bryer James House Gus Oppermann Ralph Beals Martin Hassel Roy Redemeier Mr. Mitchell was also awarded a pin for his faithful services to the club. In conclusion, we want to invite the science students to join the Physics Club, for it will be a help to them in their study of science work and will contribute to their general education. One Hundred Twenty- three THE STAMP CLUB By WILLIA5-I BRAY the many hobbies and .pastimes of youth, .stamp collecting is a great favorite. Almost every boy w x'Q ' is a stamp collector in his school- days, while not a few continue the hobby into later life. The fascination that stamp collecting holds for its followers lies not so much in the accumulation of a large number of different specimens as in know- ing and appreciating the stamps one has, This should be an encouragement to those who have small collections. In stamp col- lecting, as in most other pursuits, it is necessary to analyze the stamp before one knows its true value. T The ardent philatelist is not content with mere possession, but requires to know every detail of related history: for every stamp has a story, some fact or incident which serves to distinguish it from its fel- lows. Apart from the history and geog- raphy he learns from his stamps, the col- lector who studies his hobby may derive much practical information on the language and currencies of foreign countries, the industries, habits, and customs of their peoples, as well as some of the chief scenic One Hundred Twenty-four wonders and natural beauties of many lands. Art, architecture, and natural his- tory play conspicuous parts in the designs of the world's postage stamps, while nat- ional heroes and heroines and important historical events are likewise recorded there. So great a part to these things play in postage stamps that recently a well known collector, F. B. Warren, has traced the world's progress in civilization through postage stamps. He has recorded his find- ings under the title, The Pageant of Civi- lizationf' The desire to learn more about certain stamps and to exchange knowledge on dif- ferent issues, led to the founding of the Stamp Club in 1926. Our sponsor is Mr. Eschbach. During club meetings, members give talks on stamps telling about matters of interest. Contests are held, and stamps are bought and exchanged.

One Hundred Twenty-Eve H CLUB AT M THE f TH-CLUB' ,R THE MATH CLUB By FORREST BOECKER nil, ATHEMATICS is the language ofbdelinitergesi, the nleceisary -,f,qqj ca uary o t ose w o now. 5564 There is no doubt about the veracity of this statement. IE-tlpweverkthe members of the athematics ub loo on the matter in a slightly different light. To us, mathematics is not only a profitable study of exact theories, but it also is in- tensely interesting and comparatively easy-when you know how. Attendance at several meetings would probably give you a new insight on a great deal of old stuff. Starting with the most ancient forms of mathematics known to history, we study its progress from the account kept by the first Babylonian or Phoenician merchant on the dirt floor of his shop down through the ages to the complicated system of today with logar- ithms and all the rest which make the study of mathematics a little harder, but the application much easier, than it was to our ancestors. But that is just one phase of our study. I-Iere's another that will probably appeal to everyone. We learn new ways of perform- ing the regular arithmetic functions, es- pecially multiplying and dividing, so that they can be done with only a small amount of time and energy. If you would like to know how we do it, come to the meeting and ind out. And that's not alll The big feature of nearly every club is its party each term. When it comes to giving parties the Math 'XVillinm F. XVhite, Ph. D., in A Scrap-book of Elemen- tary Mathematics. Club surely shines! Eats, dancing to the Panatrope, the usualthings, but in a dif- ferent way. Since such a club exists in the school, as has been said before, any student of the upper four terms who fails in mathematics is to be scorned, not pitied. And now, please try to stay awake to hear a few words about the oflicers. They are a necessary evil. First we have the President, Rader Kleinschmidt, always on hand to keep the meetings pepped up. The Vice-President is Thomas Call, a brother from across the Paciic, whom we are proud to have as officer of the club. The position which carries all the dry routine with Vit. namely, the secretarial, is nobly and cheer- fully filled. by Sheldon Dieterich. The boy who takes care of the money is Arthur Esslinger. The club is well represented in the Student Council by Pauline Prass. Because both the President and Vice- President are Seniors and are both likely to be absent from the meeting and the same time to attend other affairs, we elected Ray- mond Wiese as Second Vice-President to conduct the meeting in case of their absence. And as chronicler we have Forrest Boecker. Last, but surely not least, we come to the sponsor. You'll agree that the Beau- mont teachers are eflicient, especially the mathematics staff. Need we say more of Miss Eitzen than that she is one of these? Well, perhaps we shall see you in Room 116 some Thursday afternoon.

It might be interesting to Beaumont students to know that every public high school in the city, except one, now has a chess club. The Chess Club held its first meeting February 29, after having its charter recog- nized by the Student Council and signed by Mr. Fuller. Nearly thirty members at- tended its inaugural meeting, at which the following ollicers were elected: - Otto Wolter ...........,.......,............ President Margaret Kamp ...... ....... V ice-President Hazel Willison ....,. ....,. 1 ..... S ecretary Harry Henselmeier ........,.,.,..,,..... Treasurer Raymond Wiese ........4........... Student Council Representative Arthur Esslinger Caduceus Correspondent As all good clubs have a constitution, the president, Otto Wolter, appointed a committee consisting of Raymond Wiese One Hundred Twcntu-eight and Arthur Esslinger to draw up this legal document. The constitution was abso- lutely original. One of the phrases was: All club property shall be under the direct supervision and care of the Vice- President at all times. At last, the Vice- President worksg that is, at least in our club. lt has been planned to have a chess tour- nament among the club members each term. At this Writing, the tournament is just getting under way, but Wiese is the ad- vanced favorite to carry away the big prize. Between matches, the members often play checkers, in which our sponsor, Miss Shryock, gladly participates. ,Miss Shryock at first thought that she would be the champ at this type of game, but after several bad doublings by Mr. Wolter, our president, she has changed her mind. She has since taken up chess and has be- come quite proficient in this short time she has played. 1 ' l 1 THE PUBLIC PERFORMANCE GROU' By FREDERICO CRACCHIOLO QUNDOUBTEDLY each organiza- tion has its guiding purpose as well as its guiding genius. This f TJ organization's guiding purpose is to train students for the better appreciation of the finer music, as well as to prepare them for public performances. Hence the name of our club, the Public Performance Group. We call ourselves a group because we have no dues, and only such oilicers as are deemed necessary. Our patron genius is that greatest of all the muses, the god- dess Musica. In our group the masters live. For in- stance, one fine Wednesday afternoon we found our friend Beethoven very sad. His daughter, Sonata Pathetique No. 13 , was sadly weeping at the cruel way in which modern jazz composers treat her relatives. Mr. Schumann, who seems to be engaged to her, succeeded in consoling her with one of his silly jokes, entitled Car- nival Pranksf' She stopped crying and sang a beautiful song in praise of her great father, the Andante Cantabilef' ,By de- I grees she became U , also and began to dance to the tune of the 'Second Hun- garian, Rhapsody supplied by one of her admirers, Franz Liszt. During the last and this term, We have been favored by one of St, Louis' 'most prominent civic educators, Mrs. John D. Fowler. This lady has donated to our club six St. Louis Symphony Orchestra season tickets, making it possible for six of our members to attend the weekly symphony concerts. It is the only group of its kind in our St. Louis public schools receiving such a benevolent attention from Mrs. Fowler. Last, but not least, our very musical oflicers for the term ending June l9Z8:- The beautiful and stately in music is represented by our Student Council repre- sentative, Dorothy Bennett. The heroic and wise in music is our sec- retary, Walker Stewart. The Uallegretto scherzoso in music is our Caduceus correspondent, Frederico Cracchiolo. One Hundred Twenty-nine THE GIF T CLUB ' By VIOLET HAVERPORTH N the suburb of a large city lived a wealthy man who had one daugh- ter, a petted, spoiled young lady of fc about sixteen years. She was named after her grandmother, Elizabeth Marie. A great lover of tennis, Elizabeth would drop anything for a game, One day, however, she refused a very good player. Thinking Elizabeth no longer liked tennis, her friends invited her to a game of golf. She again refused. saying she was too busy. Her friends tried every sort of thing to .amuse her, even horseback riding and yachting parties, but she refused everything with the same excuse-'Tm too busy. What could Elizabeth be doing? She had no work that her friends knew of. Surely she never stayed at home, because her friends Went to see her and she Wasalways out. But where did she go? What did she do? Whom was she with? Her friends became perplexed and more and more curious. Finally, after much hesita- tion, one of them decided to disguise her- self and see where Elizabeth went. Eliza- One Hundred Thirty beth unsuspectingly came out of her home one day, jumped in her roadster, and off she went, her friend following. Upon entering the city. the streets became so crowded that once or twice Elizabeth's friend thought sure she had lost her: but no, not far ahead was Elizabeth's little yellow roadster. After a while Elizabeth stopped in front of a large mansion sur- rounded by a beautiful garden filled with gay young girls of about Elizabeth's age. There was such a crowd of them that Elizabeth's friend, knowing that she would not be noticed, Went in to see what they were doing. To her surprise she found out it was a sewing club, where all the girls were sewing little dainty things that people usually give as gifts. Elizabeth was undoubtedly the sponsor, for she was really the center of attraction. It seemed a great honor to be sponsor of this Gift Club. It was just what the name implies, a club to sew gifts. Elizabeth's friend went up to Elizabeth and asked her what she was making. Oh, a few little gifts for some at E In ' ' 7' F'rg i ,g?fp,,4-Q tlffia ' V C9 QQ l' ?M,'E4i?

I am going to give one a handkerchief, one a pincushion, and the rest some other useful things that I know they like. But Why do you call them lazy? asked Elizabeth's friend. Oh, they aren't lazy, but they spend too much time playing golf or tennis, said Elizabeth. What if they would join this club? Would you think better of them? asked her friend. Ohl said' Elizabeth, I know they would like it, and we could see each other oftenerf' Her friend said no more but went to tell the rest about her experiences. Within a week all Elizabeth's friends were members of the little Gift Club. In Beaumont there is just such a club as Elizabeth's. Our sponsor is one of the sewing teachers, Miss Nicholson. Some of the gifts being made are handkerchiefs, pin- cushions, curtain tie-backs, and silk pil- lows, as well as many other dainty gifts. We meet every Monday at 2:30 in room 18.

Amend: Walking with Miss Geitz: Hockey with Miss M. Amend: Volleyball with Miss Schmidt, and Swimming with Miss Knepper and Miss Schmidt. The Baseball Club is a new organization formed for freshmen only. The girls meet every Monday for their games. Each of these clubs gives points toward one of the awards-the numeral, the letter, or the pin. The G. A. A. is almost the only organ- ization open to freshmen girls, and it is only by joining the G. A. A. that a girl can belong to any of the clubs mentioned above. The membership of the G. A. A. is larger than that of any other club in the school, being at present about 520. Furthermore, to develop the social in- stincts of the girls, G. A. A. each year has a big party. This year on February 24 it was a masquerade. First there was danc- ing in the girls' gymnasium: then every- one went to the auditorium, where a play, The Minister's Messenger, was presented by some of the upper term girls. It was very enjoyable and most interesting. When the lunch room was finally reached, many were the Oh's and Ah's of surprise and delight, for the tables were 'decorated in red and white-in honor of St. Valen- tine-and a pleasing spectacle they made. And, best of all, the center table, was charmingly decorated with twolQKewpie dolls, in appfbpriate colors: while, the favors, tiny red baskets with silver:'h,giirts, contained adorable little dolls, brightly painted. The party was declared a huge success by everyone attending. Every girl in Beaumont should belong to some club which gives an opportunity for business management and united effort such as was needed to make our party the success it proved. In a school of over 2500, we should be able to get a member- chip of 600 girls: so won't you join us? Come on in and help us make the G. A. A. bigger and better in every way.

The crew responded to the summons all hands on deck with eager anticipation of a joy- ous and prosperous cruise, perhaps in remi- niscence of former voyages. From the distinguished personages on board, the crew chose presiding ofiicers. Georgetta Blettner, as president, takes the helm and is the leader of our weekly meetings. Julia Ernst represents us in the Student Council and Irene O'Neill takes care of any financial or secretarial business. After dockingthis somewhat conven- tional cargo, the victor ship turned her keel toward new adventures. Work was begun in earnest, and lagging muscles, even lag- ging spirits, took their iirst step toward reaching ship-shape condition. We hoisted sails and pulled anchor under the able supervision of our beloved Commodore Cwith Miss Krumeich's pardonj and per- formed our tactics and setting-up exercises to the lively tune of Louise Toenges' music. Despite the fact that Apparatus may suggest perfection in a physical way, the most significant results of a trip on this cruiser are the development of poise and grace, together with the development of character, this latter being very important in the eyes of present-day thinkers in the field of education. , Perhaps the reader at this time is seeking the usual invitation that culminates most club notes. He seeks in vain! There is to be none. Since excess membership and a huge waiting list prevent issuing any such invitation, we are privileged only to wish success to any prospective member for suc- ceeding terms. Our ship is well on her way now: the huge black hulk is slowly disappearing beyond the horizon. May she succeed in all her enterprises and fulfill our sincere wish for a happy voyage! THE WALKING SQUAD Bu IVIARGARET MOJONNIER IPTY long minutes until that 2:30 bell rings, and I could go to sleep standing up. Then I ll I will have to carry those heavy books home and study. How I wish I had something to do after school that would give me more life! Girls, you do not have to wish for such a thing. Just come around to room 232 some Thursday and join the Walking Squad. The squad is made up of girls'who like to walk and talk. On these walks you have time to do all your gossiping and to talk about your summer vacation on that beautiful lake, river, or in the mountains. Our Walks don't take much more than an hour, and just think of the hour of health you can get on Thursday after- noons by getting outside the four Walls of the building and enjoying fresh air and sunshine! Some of the places we visit are Bissel's Point, Kingshighway Viaduct, Sherman Park, O'Pallon Park, and Strodt- man Playgrounds, and for each of these hikes five points are given towards your G. A. A. award. We assemble in room 232 at 2:30 every Thursday to take the attendance. Then we are ready for our fun. We pick out a route that takes about an hour to cover. On the way we talk, laugh. tell jokes, and discuss our school work, and all the other things you can think of. After we have reached our destination. we rest for a few minutes and then start home, everybody happy, healthy, wishing next Thursday were here, and of course rather tired. Miss Geitz, our sponsor, or any of the members, will tell you about our good times or any- thing further you want to know about the club. Don't forget when and where to meet. Thursday at 2:30 in room 232.

Each girl took more interest than the other, and of course, why Wouldn't they with a nice lively sponsor always there to help them and greet them with a smile? The other day as I walked down the hall I heard a conversation such as this. Where are you going, said a little Freshman to one of the older girls who walked hurriedly down the hall at the close of school. 'I am going swimming. Why don't you come along? OhI I am afraid, and besides I can't swim and I wouldn't have any fun. Did you say you couldn't swim and you were afraid? Well, why can't you swim and why are you afraid. Say! You are just the one I'm looking for, I would just love to show you how to swim, and Miss Knepper. Miss Meyersieck, Miss Walsh, and Miss Schmidt would just be glad to help you too. - Weill replied the freshman, it cer- tainly sounds good: come with me to my locker and I'll show you how game I am. That night she got a lot of water down her throat and her nose, but nevertheless she learned howto float and not to be afraid. ' Come down to the pool any afternoon except Friday and you will find awaiting you a clear, white-tiled pool and a crowd of merry girls with their capable sponsors and guards. You all have the chance to enter this pool if you can pass the required cardiac test. Many of the girls are working for let- ters. Naturally there are certain objects to be accomplished before one can earn a let- ter, but nevertheless all of us can try. In this way Beaumont can put out some active swimmers. can do.

Betty Ann began talking to the girl. You look terribly old for your age? the way you've neglected yourself has aged you many years. Why, your posture-a happy-go-lucky like you are, in your 'teens has no right to stand as you do. I'll Wager old age won't have to call for you. you'll call for him whether it's leap year or not. Make him wait, Betty Ann: stand him up, and he'l1 like you all the better for it. We've just got to do something for your posture or you'll miss a lot of the happiness in store for you. Your shoulders must be straightened: they sag terribly. Then your feet-you drag them as if they were lead. If they feel as they look, something else is wrong. Pull your chin in before the one you have develops a twin. That's it: you look better al- ready. Head back, shoulders back, chest high, feet lifted and one other thing, if we have to see you in a bathing suit-nope- it won't do. You kno-ow, your tummy. Now, Betty Ann, there's an easy remedy for all these things and I want you to watch your posture for the next month or two. See how much you improve. I'm going to give you a new schedule to follow so that you won't be so rushed all day. Later in the day Betty Ann made out the following program to be followed five nights every week. Friday and Saturday were omitted.

P? fq 5 Ns'-?E'Xl5ff'J7L f .r 1 C551 X-, -lkgildlc New T1-IECADUCEUS BASKET-BALL By ROBERT MAYSACK .gg-g HE first two practice games were won by Beaumont in easy fashion at the expense of Principia and 1 ' V Chaminade. The team then dropped a hard fought game to St. Louis U. High School by a score of 15 to ll. St. Louis U. High later won the champion- ship of the Preparatory League and reached the final round of the National Catholic Tournament at Chicago this year. In the final practice tilt before the opening league game, McBride won by the close score of 20 to 18. Beaumont played a pitiful game during the first half, after which the score stood 14 to 5, but came back strong in the second half to make the game a thriller. Roosevelt was the first team to be en- countered in the St. Louis Public High School League. The game was evenly fought during the first three quarters, but Beaumont then forged ahead by six points, by slipping three rapid field goals through the hoop. Roosevelt, however, soon hit its stride and the score was quickly knotted. With but five minutes to play, the Beau- mont defense crumpled and Roosevelt walked OH with the game by a 41 to 29 score. The next contest against Soldan was also lost in the last minutes of play. Beaumont was several points ahead. with only two minutes left, when goals by Edmiston clinched the game for Soldan. The score was 19 to 18. The next week we drew the bye and journeyed to Kirkwood High School, which was defeated by a 38 to 32 score. This was followed by a narrow victory over Cleveland and a crushing victory over Central in two league games. ' ln the second round of the schedule the team was trounced by Roosevelt, the cham- pions, after which it tasted another close defeat at the hands- of Soldan by a 24 to 22 count. These losses were followed by overwhelming victories over Principia, Central, and Cleveland in.the order named. Thus, the team won four league games while losing a like number, and finished in third place, being topped by Roosevelt and Soldan and ranking above Cleveland and Central. A A, The boys who did not play on the first team were divided into different class teams, grouped according to weight. The setond team won three games and lost two. The Class A team won two games from Mc- Bride's team without a setback. Niemeyer. Close, Buschart, Garrison, Pegram, and Binder were members of the Class A team. The Class B team had the best record of all the teams, winning eight victories with- out a defeat, for a cleanslate. Some of the best players on this team were Krueger, Schwandt, and Bildner. The Class C team, of which Peterson and Gruenewald were the mainstays, had a successful season with six victories and two defeats, while the D team won one game and lost the other.

The team was not quite itself in the first half and were losing 10-6, but displayed good basketball in the second half, to tie St. Charles on Captain Rost's free throw in the last minute of play. Beaumont even- tually won on another free throw. In the second game Beaumont had an easier time against Webster, defeating them by a score of 26-l l. The team outplayed Webster in all departments of the game. The defeat of Roosevelt by McBride pepped the team up considerably. In the next game Beaumont was opposed to Maplewood, who had defeated McBride and was the favorite to win the tourna- ment. ln this game Beaumont was at its best and allowed its opponents only one field basket during the whole game. The defense put up was almost perfect, and the offense was functioning like a machine, the final score being 25-8. This assured Beau- mont of a trip to Columbia for the State Tournament and placed them in the finals. In the final game Beaumont met an old rival in Soldan, who had been made favor- ite by two previous victories over Beau- mont in league contests. Beaumont started slowly and were losing 10-7 at the half. In the second half the boys came to life and allowed Soldan exactly one point, the game being turned into a runaway for Beau- mont, with a final score of 23-l 1. The reward for winning the tournament was a beautiful trophy and a trip, to Col- umbia, Mo., for the State Tournament. In spite of all opinions of the newspaper critics, who had not conceded Beaumont a chance, the team played excellent basket- ball, led by Herb Steidemann,-who was the leading scorer of the tournament. At the State Tournament in Columbia, the team hit a slump, which caused them to lose the only two games they played there. In the irst game they started out well, but did not keep it up, as was also true of them in the consolation game. Of the players who went to the tourna- ment there will be four to form the nucleus of next year's team. Those who graduate are Captain Otts Rost, Herb Steide- mann, Bob Maysack, and Milt Ens.

UQ f 5115 QT 9, Qfffq W. jfif i T THE CADUCEUS SPRING FOOTBALL Bu JAMES DUBY l N the spring a young man's fancy turns to--well, it's all according to who that young man is. Some L' ' a play baseball, others play tennis. and still others go out for track. These are the regular pastimes for the spring ath- lete, but this year another sport has taken the fancy of many of our commonly called Uroughnecl-rs, and that sport is none other than football, spring football. And what a he-man's game that is, playing out in the hot sun or cold rain, tackling and spik- ing the dummy and each other, and, as the people on the side lines would say. trying to massacre each other. Oh yes, it is rough-but we like it that way! At Beaumont we are handicapped be- cause all the coaches at our school are work- ing hard to get results out of the baseball and track squads. and so the football squad is thrown on its own resources for a coach- ing staff: but with the combined aid of Brown, Anastasoff, and Duby. three of last year's lettermen, and Heckenberg. Bild- ner and Amato, also of the first squad last year, we are getting very good results from the regular attenders. Coach Lewis has issued about fifty suits to those who were desirous of coming out for spring football. and a record is kept of the attendance, and the ones who have attended most regularly this spring will get the best suits when the season opens next fall. And why not? They will have a very good knowledge of the fundamentals of football, and all there is to football is a knowledge of the basic fundamentals and experience. If all of last year's lettermen keep their .marks up, we should have a championship team from Beaumont next term. There should be twelve lettermen back from last year's team, and there will be quite a few of last year's subs back to say nothing of the flunkers of last year, providing they can keep their grades up. Taylor and Kyler are the two new men making the best showing so far, but every- one is improving every day, so that the lettermen are not certain of any positions they played last year. We have been out to practice for three weeks and have played one game, Capt. Brown's team defeating Capt. Heckenberg's. These games don't mean much, but they give the new men practice that they need for a championship team, and we intend to play at least one game a week from now on. By the time that this article is placed in this forthcoming issue of Caduceus. it will be too late for anyone to come out for football: but -everyone can come out and play football next year unless ,he is physically unfit. Even if you can't play on the team the first year, keep coming out till you can make the team. And in the meantime support the team by your presence at every game.

The ' l store after nine innings of fast baseball was 7 to 4. The pitching of Bill Slater in this first game was beauti- fully done, entirely deserving the fine com- ment made by the newspaper critics. Slater held the hard hitting crew from the South Side to four hits, all but one of which were singles. Roller, captain of the team, Fox, Carr and Holtman are veterans from the 1927 campaign, with Slater. Roller and Fox started off the new season with better hit- ting than either of them did last year. In the Roosevelt game Roller landed a clean, long single to center field, while the elongated shortstop got three clean hits, one of which was a pretty double to center held. Holtman 'and Carr were expected to develop their hitting before the season was well under way, as both were slow in starting last year. Slater, dependable in the pinches with men on bases, delivered a single when it was needed against Roose- velt. The new men, Probst and Hauesserman, started off well in the held, although neither did much at bat. Both are good hitters and will do well before the season is much advanced. Weidner and Goodwin failed to do much at bat, but will also develop. Several new boys, out for the lirst time, look promising for another year. Seven seniors on the 1928 team will not be here for 1929, and the team will have to be composed of unseasoned material. Two old reliables, Otto Rost and Herb Steidemann, are out -this year to help when needed. Rost is out for the outfield, and Herb wants to pitch. Both will have their opportunity to make letters before the sea- son is closed. L One Hundred Forty-nine THE TRACK TEAM li.. I I I TRACK MIDGET TRACK By WILBUR LEBER COMPLETE track team consists 23:gjg'g of three divisions-the midgets, the juniors, and the seniors. The qualiiications of a senior are that he must be over sixteen and a half years old by the day of the field meet, May 25. A junior must be under senior age to com- pete in the meet: and a midget must be small enough to keep under five feet three inches and be under fifteen and a half years of age. The midget division is composed of the smaller boys of the school, who in later years will be our junior and senior Stars. They are usually the lower class- men and inexperienced boys of the school. It is a rare thing for a track man to remain in the midget ranks for two years. The midgets have track meets with midgets of other schools, and compete with boys of their own age and size, instead of trying to stretch themselves to senior height. They participate in the field meet, which this year will be held at the new stadium, and help to win the track cup for Beaumont as well as the juniors and seniors. A midget is not allowed to run over 150 yards because of his youth. Many a track meet has been won for our school by the midgets because of their undying team spirit. The following are some of Beaumont's 1928 midgets: Langanke-last year's and this year's midget track captain. He runs the fifty and seventy-five yard dash, is a broad jumper, and a member of the relay team. Carter-a new man, runs the hurdles with ease, is a broad jumper, and a member of the relay team. Hobbs-another new man who can run the fifty- and seventy-five yard dash, is a broad jumper, and a member of the relay team. Donnelly-runs the fifty-yard dash, is a Hercules at the shot-put, and a member of the relay team. Linberg-puts the shot and high jumps. U Draper-is a hurdle jumper, a broad jumper, and a shot-putter. Wood-runs the hurdle and broad jumps. JUNIOR TRACK' By Joi-IN LONE Our Junior Track Team is made up of some very fast and furious speed demons, namely, Ciurst,-Brunk, Stinchcomb, Wiese, Maysack, R. Simpson, L. Simpson, Fred- ericks, Thompson, Binder, and Duggans. Gurst is one of the very best juniors this year, having scored fourteen points in his first meet. He won the shot-put, the broad jump, and tied for first in the high jump. A real track man-watch him! Brunk, our exceptional half-miler, is keeping up his prestige by winning the half mile, and taking third in the fifty. Brunk also throws the discus. Stinchcomb, a hurdle and dash man, sprained his ankle the day before the meet with Clayton, but even now he gathers no moss. Meyer is another fifty mang it seems as if Meyer's winning is a habit. Wiese, a very tall newcomer, runs a snappy 440, and heaves the shot well up in the forties. Heideman surprised us all when he walked away with the 220. Heideman also broad jumps, and runs on the relay team. One Hundred Fifty-one FOUR B955 lla 'Til ' my ' V. 'V , if' i i i in gf t L, TI-IECADUCEUS Maysack, R. Simpson, and L. Simpson are the pride of Beaumont in the shot-put. All three ring the bell at forty-five feet. Fredericks, a hurdle man, runs the jumps at about sixteen and live-tenths. Freder- icks also high jumps. Binder, the flying Beaumonter, always soars over the high jump at an altitude of iive feet, never less. Binder runs a neat 440. Duggins, another high jumper, jumps very well, and next year he ought to be very good. In the pole vault we have Lederle, Wright, and Johnson. All three vault over nine feet, a very good height for juniors. Thompson, a red-head like his brother, keeps up the family name by taking the 440 now and then. Besides these men mentioned, we have many other good track men who help Beaumont to win. If it were not for their points, our team would go under. We owe the coaches some space, for they are really the backbone of the track teaml I am sure the team will do things to make the coaches proud of having trained them. SENIOR TRACK By ELLIOTT BEEMAN and EARL JONES Elmer Nickel, that good-looking foot- ball star, is out for track and is doing very well. He is running the 220-yard low hurdles and relay. We expect him to star in track as he did in football last year. Dan Hochstadt is one of the outstanding performers on the cinder path this season. He broad jumps and runs both hurdle events besides his specialty, the pole vault. Dan should have a record-breaking year and Beaumont is counting on him. This is his fourth and last season. Wilbur Leber is out for his second year. Last year as a junior he ran the 220-yard dash, but this year he has taken up the 440. Besides the 440, Leber runs third on the relay. He has one more season. James Murphy, last year's junior lifty- yard dash man, is running the 100-yard dash and the low hurdles and making the broad jump. Murphy is a good all-around track man and keeps the relay and dash men continually on their toes. That handsome, dark complexioned fel- low is none other than Elliott Beeman, captain of the 1928 Beaumont Track Team. Beeman is one of the fastest dash men in the St. Louis high schools and is certainly the proper choice for captain. He specializes in the 220 and 440 and is an- chor man on the relay team. He is last year's letterman, this being his third and last season. ' Next we have Mike Barnhouse, last year's co-captain and one of the most popu- lar of the city high school athletes. He does well in three major sports: football, basketball, and track. Mike runs the 100, 220, and relay, and puts the shot, in which he has a chance to place first in the finals. He is one of our leading point scorers. Earl Jones is a letterman of two years ago and is trying hard for a place on the team. He is a 220 man. Jones was starter on the relay team which placed third out of twenty-two high schools at the Washington University Indoor Meet and was second man on the relay which beat Clayton in the triangular meet. He will undoubtedly gain in speed as the sea- son progresses. Carl Weidner is dividing his time be- tween baseball and track this year and is One Hundred Fifty-three L. J IES? ' N gv -.gkiiwalc iq, 2,3 q,r'e1vi?j gil?-J. ,I Nr 5 - W ':'f t e as l l i Tl-IECADUCEUS making good at both. If he earns letters in these two sports, he will be the second one from Beaumont to make letters in the four major sports in one year, Red Smith having been the Hrst. In track, Weidner is our high jumper and also broad jumper. He has great ability as a high jumper and should win that event in the finals. In Edward Cooperman and George Halterman, Beaumont has a capable pair of milers. Both have shown promise this season and the team is counting on them. Halterman has one more season and Coop- erman has three. Two more of Beaumont's standbys are Edward Heilman and Robert Snell. The team would not be complete without these men. Both are fine hurdlers and have aided the team greatly in the past two years. Snell also pole vaults and high jumps, while Eddie puts the shot and broad jumps. In Ray Margherio, Beaumont has a good 440 man. This is Mac's first year and he has created a favorable impression. He has three more seasons and we are expecting much from him. Beaumont has several good half-milers this season, among whom Ray Brigham and Arnold Meyer look the most promis- ing. These two boys have been running very well in the early meets. Both were with the team last year. In Leonard Haag and Leavell Riddick, Beaumont has two more capable distance men. Both have been with the team for several seasons, this being their last. We have two reliable men in Red Fro- hardt and Earl Garber. Frohardt runs the dashes and low hurdles, while Garber runs the half mile and broad jumps. Both have another season. The team has yet to meet Cleveland, Kirkwood, and Soldan before the May finals. The district and Columbia meets are also scheduled before the finals. We are looking forward to many viztories in One Hundred Fifty-four these meets: and. with such a promising team, we should be victorious. RESULTS The Beaumont Senior Track Team opened its season with a victory over Cen- tral High School on April 4 at Beaumont. The score was 77 to 53. Leber ran an excellent 440-yard dash in 56.6 seconds, to gain a first for Beaumont. The leading scorers were Hochstadt and Barnhouse of Beaumont, and Heinrichs and Herskowitz of Central.

The weather was severely cold, and consequently the time in the track events was increased and the distance in the field events was decreased. Beau- mont lost this meet by a score of 83 to 49. Shortly after this, the Midget Team de- feated Roosevelt 55 to 22, which makes us virtually tied with them. This leaves it to the juniors whether or not we defeat Roosevelt. 1 The following Thursday, April 12, the Senior Team had a triangular meet with Clayton and McBride High Schools. Clay- ton, the county team, was superior in sev- eral of the events, but Beaumont was vic- torious. The final score was Beaumont 77, Clayton 61, and McBride 13.

This club was originated A by Steve Neilson for several rea- sons: first, to create an interest for swim- ming among the boys: second. to get suffi- cient material for a swimming team: and. lastly, to get a swimming team in shape for the big meet in March. Steve was able to secure the pool for practice on Pri- day afternoons, and here the members re- ceived their workouts. This term the result of the Swimming Club was plainly seen. When the word was passed around that tryouts for the team would be held, a great deal of interest was shown. About thirty would-be swimmers reported for the try- outs, and a crack swimming team was se- lected. So good was the material that a junior team was also picked. Steve be- came the coach, and, with Mr. Pager's help, the team was able to work every Fri- day afternoon. The first meet, with Cleveland, proved to be a complete victory for Beaumont. Dan Hochstadt showed himself capable of being captain by taking several firsts. Adolph Jacobsmeyer, Bill Eichs, Wilbur Wehmeyer, Milton Linhardt, Russell AST term Beaumont had not a One Hundred Fifty-six Schoenburg, and Norman Kurtz also showed that they were worthy to be on the team. The next meet, with Principia, resulted in a victory for them. In this meet, Beaumont was handicapped because Jacobsmeyer, Wehmeyer, Linhardt, and Schoenburg were unable to swim for Beau- mont because of a ruling of the Y. M. C. A., and members of the junior team had to swim in their places. The last meet was the Inter-Scholastic, and, under the coaching of Steve and Hoch- stadt, the team was put into fine shape. Hochstadt and Eichs were our hopes in the diving, Dan and Jacobsmeyer in the l0O-yard free-style, Wehmeyer in the 100 breast, Schoenburg and Jacobsmeyer in the 50, and Getlin and Dieterichs in the 220. The relay was composed of Linhardt, Schoenburg, Jacobsmeyer, and Hochstadt. The meet was held at Wilson Pool, both local and out-of-town teams participating. Beaumont made a splendid showing and emerged a very close third, losing when the medley relay team was disqualified in the final event. Had Beaumont won the final race, we should have won the entire meet. iff L f?,.iqalJf,',gXQ vu ,fg., 'W,'agi'f:,qg'Q,4fQ. 4 W Y. . .aiaeaffieat-D4 S' , ..: ,fi , f'f.??'W' 5 A ., 2,57 JSI' 4 T ,J A.

The last event would decide the winning school of the first Interscholastic Swimming Meet. Beaumont's team was a splendid one, with a star captain, and every member excep- tional. Beaumont took greatpride in her swimmers. Our confidence in them was ab- solute, but we could not overlook the fact that the opposing teams from Danville, Muskogee, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Prin- cipia were also excellent. But we must keep the honors which our team had won by such sincere, honest effort. Oh, the time, the skill, the patience involved in the winning and upholding of our standard. The situation was truly thrilling. Every- thing depended on one man: if we won, his would be the glory: if we lost, his the defeat. He was our captain, our star, and would he be equal to the task of being anchor man in the 250-yard medley relay? Had his capacity been overtaxed? He had already won the 100-yard free style, and already he had come in with a close, a very close second to Wichita, Kansas, in the fancy diving event. The relay, to be sure, meant the utmost co-operation on the part of every man involved. Each had to do his best, but the result depended upon the anchor man, the last man to take up the race. If the team lagged behind, he must gain precious lost inches. If they were even, he would match skill and speed with the best man of each of the other teams. . A shrill whistle pierced through the noise of excited conversation. Again the announcer: The 250-yard relay. First man, 50- yard back: second man 50-yard free: third man, 100-yard breast: fourth man, 100- yard free. Swimmers to your markI'.' The crack of a pistol, the splash of the first men, the silence of breath-taking sus- pense. Our first man, Jacobsmeyer, was slow to start. We must gain! The second splash. Wehmeyer exhibited almost super- human speed, seeing Tulsa slightly in the lead. The third man gaining, gaining- Danville leading. The last men ready, eager, awaiting impatiently the judge's touch, their signal to start. For my school-for Beaumont! I've got to win! I must win. running through our anchor man's throbbing brain. Everything re- mained with him, staring at the approach- ing team-mate-distraction-ruinous dis- traction, a mere flicker of a glance at the opponents. How did Beaumont stand? Dilating sight+the green, moving water, magnifying the panting body of the ap- proaching man. At last, the signal! Beau- mont gaining lost inches, inch by inch- yard by yard-gaining ahead. Powerful steady, winning strokes. Smothering, painful, bursting silence. Yards ahead: the boom of the gun: the wild shrieks and cries of the tense audience: relief from the death-like soundlessness. The gruelling race was over! The shrill whistle once more: Beaumont disquali- fied. Danville first with 23 points, Prin- cipia second with 2O points, and Beaumont third with 18 points. In our eagerness and excitement an error had been committed. Beaumont was pro- claimed by the judges disqualified because of a too early start by one of the swimmers, although finishing the race several yards ahead of the other competing teams. Oh, the bitter tang of disappointment! Nevertheless, those who are loyal to our school and to our teams will only profit by this experience, endeavoring to give our best, and always giving good account of ourselves in the future.
